CAFE and CO2 Standards
Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards strive to achieve reduced greenhouse gas emissions through a reduction in the amount of fuel new vehicles burn. Manufacturers are given a fuel economy rating, measured in miles per gallon (mpg), that their fleet as a whole must average in a given model year. Congress passed a law in 1973 directing the EPA to set CAFE standards, making these standards a tool exclusively wielded by the federal government. The federal government finalized new fuel-economy standards as well as a national carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions tailpipe standard in April 2009. The two issues are related, since CO2 is released in direct proportion to the amount of carbon-based fuel that is burned. Under the new rules, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has set CAFE standards for model year 2012-2016 vehicles, and the EPA has established corresponding CO2 emissions standards. The combined action would match CO2 emission standards previously adopted by California and 13 other states.
The CAFE rating will be 35.5 mpg in 2016, based on a combined 39 mpg rating for passenger cars and 30 mpg for light trucks. The EPA's CO2 emissions standard is 250 grams per mile for vehicles sold in 2016, roughly the equivalent of 35.5 mpg. The automakers supported and helped formulate the rules since they provide a reasonable national approach to regulating CO2 emissions rather than a patchwork of state rules.
NHTSA will use an attribute-based system, which sets CAFE standards for individual fleets of vehicles based on size, taking into account the differences between cars and light trucks (SUVs, pickups, and vans). Individual car companies will have flexibility on how to achieve the rules, whether placing more emphasis on hybrids or reducing vehicle size and weight. Nevertheless, a standard based on each vehicle's footprint should force automakers to increase the efficiency of every vehicle rather than downsizing some vehicles in order to offset the sale of bigger cars.
While the new CAFE and CO2 standards for 2016 are reasonable, the Obama Administration announced plans to put in place stronger rules for 2017 and beyond. In May, President Obama directed the EPA to also reduce emissions of conventional pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides. The president also instructed regulators to establish fuel economy and CO2 standards for medium- and heavy-duty trucks for the first time beginning in model year 2014. Since the government is to regulate CO2 emissions from automobiles, it should do so through the CAFE standards and not allow any individual state to set overly harsh standards.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is also pursuing CO2 standards for model year 2017-25 cars and trucks. CARB intends to coordinate its action with the EPA and NHTSA, along with the automakers and other stakeholders, with the goal of setting a single national standard. Federal regulators intend to issue a "game plan" for model year 2017-25 light-duty vehicles by September 2010, and adopt a final rule by mid 2012, while CARB officials want to complete action on the CO2 standards by the end of 2010.
While we're all for ensuring everyone has clean air to breathe, drastically increased CAFE potentially limits consumer choice if manufacturers are forced to make smaller, less powerful and less useful cars and light-duty vehicles in order to meet government fuel economy demands. Market-based solutions must be employed, which allow the consumer to participate in and respond to national energy policies.

La. restaurants expected to lead industry growth this year
Despite sluggish recovery in the nation's economy at large, the restaurant industry is projected to tally record sales in 2012, according to the National Restaurant Association's 2012 Restaurant Industry Forecast. Total sales are expected to reach a record high of $632 billion in 2012—a 3.5% increase over 2011—making it the second consecutive year that industry sales top $600 billion. Of the nine U.S. regions into which the NRA is divided, the Southwest—which includes Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas—is forecast to lead the sales growth, with a projected 3.9%. According to NRA data, Louisiana's restaurants hit $6.2 billion in sales last year, and the 182,200 people working in the industry represented 9% of all employment in the state. The industry is expected to expand by 9.5% over the next decade, with 17,300 jobs added. Get more details on the NRA's 2012 forecast at its website here.

The question of violence is interesting because power exists in the system and any act to disrupt any of the power balance in the system is considered an act of violence by some and I would go so far as to say that I agree with that so then we get into the debate on where and when violence is justifiable and what types of violences are morally justifiable? If you have a system with violent oppression and any act of taking one's ability to self actualize is violent then violence is justified because it is needed to disrupt that. The next question is if we can create a new order where there is no violence out of a violent revolution and I don't know the answer to that what do you think?

I love this so much
We are also one of three nations without paid maternity leave, and the only developed ("first world") country without maternity leave.
We are the only Western country without universal healthcare.
It costs more to have a child in the US than in any other country.
In many countries you don't have to pay for college, and if students do pay, it's nowhere near the amounts that the US students pay.
I could continue, but I think I've made my point.
178th in infant mortality. Isn't that good? Why would you want to top *that* chart? Or am I misunderstanding what infant mortality?
Actually America is at 169 right now. That is on a list of 224. The infant mortality rate (IMR) is the number of deaths of infants under one year old per 1,000 live births. This rate is often used as an indicator of the level of health in a country. Now the United States is currently at a rate of 6.17 (DEATHS/1,000 LIVE BIRTHS) which is kinda scary when you think about the fact that is has not dropped in years. This is especially striking when countries like Japan have a rate of 2.13 and Norway is at 2.48. Makes you wonder where we are in health care right?

This is for a Promo Doll that was offered by Reddi-Wip. When you mailed in the Red Lock Tab and $1.00 you could pick the Doll from the Country of your choice.

I bought a whole collection of these and have only taken them out for the pictures. So she does need a bit of fluffing up. Which the original owner had wrote on the shoes. She stands about 8 inches tall and her eyes open and close. I have tried to take pictures so you can see for yourself what she looks like. A cute doll to add to your collection. I try to call things like they are if you have any questions or would like more pictures please ask.

Hacking the Wiegand Card Reader
Defcon exhibitor illustrates weaknesses in common access control card reader design
The Wiegand effect is a Wikipedia kind of thing: Here's the entry for Wiegand effect. In a Wiegand card, as Franken described it, special alloy wire is processed in such a way as to create two distinct magnetic regions in the same piece of wire when it is passed over a magnetic field. Wire is embedded in the card in a distinct order to create an individual code, and each Wiegand pulse is translated to a digital 0 or 1 depending on wire location.
Referring to an array of biometric and proximity card systems he demonstrated during his talk, Franken said that "Every reader we saw today, from the super secure biometric retina scanner to as 'crappy as it sounds' concealed barcode, uses the Wiegand electrical and data protocols to communicate to the access control system."
The problem with Wiegand is that the protocol a) is plain text. That means there's no authentication occurring between reader and ACS; b) is easily intercepted; c) is easily replayed and easy prey for man-in-the-middle attacks; d) includes outputs from biometric readers (meaning an attacker can steal whatever sensitive user data is stored on a card) and e) includes output even from strong crypto contactless smart card readers.
At this point, Wiegand is a standard. If you have a swipe reader, a card reader or some type of biometric device like a fingerprint scanner, you hook it to an ACS using the Wiegand protocol.
So, whose to blame, and how can this be fixed? Franken asked people taking photos of his setup (see ours in the accompanying slideshow) to refrain from identifying the reader manufacturer. Don't blame the reader manufacturer, he said--it's the protocol that's outdated.
But blaming ACS manufacturers is another thing. "All access control manufacturers implement the protocol," he said. "It's no secret it's not secured here. It's one of these things, these guys sell you secure systems, and if they take a long, hard look at themselves ..."
The first solution is tamper-proof readers, which would help "a lot," Franken said. But they're not particularly sophisticated things, he said, and if you know where they are, you can defeat them. They're easy to surpass if you know what you're looking for, Franken said. But still, they're better than nothing.
Having lots of cameras trained on access points is also better than nothing, but how long do enterprises keep all that video, and who looks at it? Besides, take a look at office buildings. Check the back alleys. You'll find there are many doors that lack cameras, Franken said.
The proper solution for the problem is for a proximity card to do a cryptographic handshake with the reader, he said.
And the proper thing for physical security technology customers to do: If you're buying any type of biometric or proximity card reader system in order to limit access to parts of your organization, grill the vendor on Wiegand. Ignore what they say about proprietary protocols in the cards--what you want to know about is the protocol linking the reader to the access control system. Tell them you know about Wiegand, and ask them what, if any, cryptographic resolution is happening between reader and ACS.
They've gotten away with implementing a Swiss cheese protocol up to now. We've got to make them stop before somebody gets hurt.

J Street's Israeli security experts tour

J Street is proud to have sponsored a tour of seven distinguished Israeli security and political experts, including retired IDF Generals and Ambassadors, to the U.S. discuss Israel's security needs and interests. The delegation met with members of President Obama's administration, members of Congress and at the Pentagon. Israeli Maj. Gen. (ret.) Shlomo Gazit, former Ambassador Alon Pinkas and Brig. Gen. (ret.) Nehamiah Dagan, among the others, spoke about the urgent need for Israel-Palestinian negotiations on a two-state solution to begin in advance of the anticipated UN vote on Palestinian statehood in September. They told the administration, members of Congress and U.S military officials that President Obama's declaration for a negotiated settlement based on 1967 lines with agreed-upon land swaps was not just defensible, but was a political and military imperative for Israel.

Wrap Rage
Upon visiting Amazon's front page today, I was shown a message from Amazon about their new initiative, "Frustration-Free Packaging". We've all been there. It's Christmas morning and the children are crying because they want to play with the new toy but it's taking an hour to get it out of the box. How many times have you cut yourself trying to open blister packs? And think of all the cardboard, plastic, wire, and other materials that are thrown away.
There are basically two reasons for such packaging. One is to make it difficult for shoplifters to remove items from their packaging in the store. More often, it is for display. Dolls have their hair sewn to the cardboard backing to keep it arranged perfectly. Plastic allows us to see the contents of the package. Ties keep all parts in the pose that will attract attention and sell product.
Of course, neither of those purposes matter for items ordered over the web. You aren't looking at them on a shelf, and you can't steal them. Amazon is working with manufacturers to reduce packaging to be environmentally friendly and to improve the customer experience. This is a brilliant move from both a marketing and service perspective. From Amazon's announcement:
Today, we're excited to announce the beginning of a multi-year initiative designed to alleviate wrap rage—Amazon "Frustration-Free Packaging."
Amazon is working with leading manufacturers to deliver products inside smaller, easy-to-open, recyclable cardboard boxes with less packaging material (and no frustrating plastic clamshells or wire ties).
As part of their promotion of this new effort, Amazon is accepting photos and videos from people who have experienced wrap rage.
I can't imagine the amount of negotiation they must be going through to get manufacturers on board—there are only 19 items thus far—but it is undeniably the right thing to do.

Home : To Kill a Mockingbird : Study Guide : Character List
To Kill a Mockingbird Characters
by Harper Lee
Character List
Scout (Jean Louise Finch)The narrator and main character who begins her story at almost six years old. A rebellious tomboy, Scout has a fierce disposition toward any who challenge her, but at heart she believes in the goodness of people. Scout reacts to the terrible events of the book without losing hope in humanity.
Jem (Jeremy Finch)Scout's older brother, who is nearly ten at the beginning of the story. Jem is quieter and more reserved than his sister, and has very high standards and expectations for people. When these expectations are not met, Jem has a difficult time resolving his feelings.
Dill (Charles Baker Harris)A friend of the Finch children, who is a little older than Scout, quite short for his age, has an active imagination, and exhibits a strong sense of adventure. He initiates the first expeditions toward the Radley house, and is Scout's best friend. His family life is less than ideal, and he tends to resort to escapism when confronted with difficult situations. Dill spends summers with his aunt, who lives next door to the Finch family.
Atticus FinchThe father of Scout and Jem, Atticus is a lawyer and an extremely morally upright man who strives to deal with everyone fairly. Atticus is sometimes overly optimistic, but his unshakable hope in mankind and self-created role as the town 'do-gooder' sustain him. Atticus' wife died when Scout was very small, and he has raised his children only with the assistance of Calpurnia, his black housekeeper and cook.
Boo RadleyA recluse who never emerges from his house. As a young boy, he was in trouble with the police, and his strictly religious and reclusive parents have kept him indoors ever since. A prisoner in his home, he stabbed his father with scissors once, and no one has seen him since. The town has developed a myth that he is an insane monster who wanders around at night peering into people's windows. Throughout the book, he lives with his brother, who is highly controlling.
Tom RobinsonA black man who stands falsely accused of raping Mayella Ewell. Atticus agrees to take his case, even though he knows it is probably hopeless, if only to show the white community its own moral degeneracy.
CalpurniaA black woman who works as the Finch family's cook and housekeeper. She is one of the many motherly figures in Scout's life and one of the few who can negotiate between the very separate black and white worlds of Maycomb.
Aunt AlexandraAtticus's sister, who has very strict, traditional ideas of how society works and the role a Southern woman should play. She earneslty tries to pass along this information to Scout, who is not particularly interested. Alexandra is concerned with raising Atticus's children "properly," and thus appears during the summer of Tom's trial to stay with them.
Maudie AtkinsonA kind, cheerful, and witty neighbor and trusted friend of Scout's, who also upholds a strong moral code and helps the children gain perspective on the events surrounding the trial. She also loves gardening.
Bob EwellAn evil, ignorant man who belongs to the lowest substratum of Maycomb society. He lives with his nine motherless children in a shack near the town dump. Evidence from the trial suggests that he caught his daughter kissing Tom, proceeded to beat her, and then encouraged her to claim Tom raped her. He drinks heavily and spends his relief checks on whiskey rather than food for his family. Bob holds a strong grudge against Atticus and attacks his children at the end of the novel.
Mayella EwellThe oldest of the many Ewell children, at age nineteen. She lives a miserable and lonely existence, despised by whites and prohibited from befriending blacks. However, she breaks a social taboo by trying to seduce Tom, then reacts with cowardice by accusing him of rape and perjuring against him in court.
Heck TateMaycomb County's trusty sheriff, who is ultimately an honest and upstanding man.
Reverend SykesThe reverend for the all-black congregation, First Purchase African M.E. church, which Scout and Jem visit one day with Calpurnia.
Judge TaylorThe judge for Tom's trial. Taylor is a good, sensible man with a sense of humor, who manages a strict courtroom.
Mr. GilmerLawyer for the Ewell family in Tom Robinson's case.
Mrs. DuboseA mean, sick, very old woman who lives near the Finch family. Jem unknowingly assists her with her heroic attempt to conquer her morphine addiction, a fight that wins her Atticus's highest praises.
Walter CunninghamA poor farmer who is among the "Sarum bunch," a crowd which assembles near the town jail the night before Tom's trial in order to start a lynching. He is deeply moved by Scout's friendly words when she tries to diffuse the situation, and as a result leads the rest of the men in going home. Ever after, he respects the Finch family greatly.
Walter Cunningham (Jr.)Son of the other Walter, who attends first grade with Scout.
Adolphus RaymondA white man who chose to marry a black woman and have "mixed" children. He pretends to be a drunk so that the townspeople will have a way to more comfortably explain his behavior and life choices.
Helen RobinsonWife of Tom.
Uncle JackAtticus's brother, a doctor Jem and Scout are very fond of.
FrancisOne of Aunt Alexandra's grandchildren, who spends Christmas with the Finch family and annoys Scout by being both boring and cruel.

In my latest over on FOX Sports, I rave about Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley. Since he has been linked to the Chiefs job, I figured this was relevant. That is, unless there is any truth to this Mike Shanahan rumor. From FOX Sports:
Another Cards up-and-comer, offensive coordinator Todd Haley, has been equally impressive.
Haley's transformed the 32nd-ranked rushing attack into a potent weapon. He's resuscitated Edgerrin James, who just months ago seemed destined for the running back retirement home. He's helped Kurt Warner protect the football, a miraculous feat considering Warner's history. Most of all, he's been the mastermind behind Fitzgerald's record-breaking run. Even with Anquan Boldin hobbled and defenses keying on Fitz, Haley has found ways to get No. 11 the ball.
What impressed me most about Haley's performance this past Sunday was the seven-minute, game-winning drive he devised. There was his gutsy fourth-and-1 call to keep it on the ground, even though Tim Hightower had just been stopped short on third-and-1. Hightower converted easily. There was Haley finding ways to get Fitzgerald the ball again after he had been shut out for the half. Then there was that genius third-and-8 call — an unexpected halfback screen to Hightower — that scored the go-ahead touchdown. The most impressive aspect of Haley's drive, however, was his ability to deliver it with Boldin going all T.O. on him.
This, along with Haley and Co. completely obliterating the Panthers defense on the road, is why I am so high on Haley. It also doesn't hurt that both Bill Parcells and Scott Pioli sign off on the guy. Plus, dude kinda resembles Bruce Willis. Maybe he could make our AFC West rivals finally Die Hard?

A turtle has been rescued in the US after being tied to two dozen balloons and sent flying through the air.
The Daily Mail reports the creature was caught on video frantically moving its legs in an effort to escape the helium-filled confinement.
He became stuck in a eucalyptus tree and as fire fighters were about to rescue the animal, a gust of wind blew it onto the ground.
The turtle was unhurt and a search is on to find the culprits.

Getting Around
Getting Around
Locals traveling in San Juan often complain about el tapón (traffic jam or, more literally, "cork"). A 15-minute drive can easily turn into 45 minutes depending on the road conditions. In addition, drivers can be unpredictable, using the shoulder as a through lane or drifting unpredictably from lane to lane, so be alert. If you choose to rent a car, get a good map. San Juan's roads are well marked, but one-way streets pop up out of nowhere.
Just east of Old San Juan, Avenidas Muñoz Rivera, Ponce de León, and Fernández Juncos are the main thoroughfares that cross Puerta de Tierra, leading to the neighborhoods of Condado, Ocean Park, and Isla Verde. Puente Dos Hermanos, the "Bridge of the Two Brothers," connects Puerta de Tierra with Condado. Avenida Ashford, which splits off into Avenida Magdalena for a few blocks, travels through Condado to Ocean Park. Calle Loíza connects Ocean Park with Isla Verde. These streets can be choked with traffic, so if you are traveling more than a few blocks, consider taking the speedier Route 26.

text: Mendelsohn: I'm almost done torturing you with my early 1990s nostalgia. One more and then it's over (at least until I work up the courage to go back to Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral). This week it will be Jane's Addiction's Ritual de lo Habitual. When I picked this album, both Ritual and Jane's Addiction's first album Nothing's Shocking were relatively close on the Great List, hovering in the back half of the top 300. Not wanting to talk about two Jane's Addiction albums and since they were both ranked about the same, I flipped a coin. Ritual de lo Habitual won. But since the last revision, both albums have taken a little tumble. Nothing's Shocking currently resides at No. 391 while Ritual de lo Habitual fell to No. 420. Not a big deal, I thought. But now I'm starting to second guess myself. Would you have preferred to listen to Jane's Addiction's major label debut? Or the record that helped cement their status as figureheads of the Alternative Nation?

BRUSSELS (Reuters) – European policymakers should be asking themselves "who lost Italy" after a grassroots revolt against austerity, unemployment and the political elite caused an electoral earthquake in the euro zone's number three economy.
Instead, most are insisting that their policy mix to fight the currency area's debt crisis is right, even though the latest EU forecasts have pushed any prospect of meaningful economic recovery in southern Europe back into the middle distance.
A surge in support for anti-euro populist Beppe Grillo and the surprise resurrection of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi on an anti-austerity platform in last week's election have plunged Rome into political deadlock.
Italy, which had been governed by respected technocrat Mario Monti for 15 months since Berlusconi's last government fell, is far from the worst affected by the three-year-old debt crisis.
Unemployment there stands at 11.7 percent, less than half the rate of Greece and Spain, where one of every two young people is without a job.

Sports Fan Insider
HOUSTON (KDKA/AP) — Despite holding the lead through most of the game, the Pirates lost to the last-place Houston Astros, 7-4 on Monday night.
Wandy Rodriguez and company held the Pirates to just five hits.
Rodriguez (10-9, 3.43 ERA) struck out 13, pitched seven innings and allowed just four hits and three runs.
Both teams were shutout over the first three innings. The Bucs scored three runs in the fourth when Andrew McCutchen hit a two-run homer – his 19th – followed by Ryan Doumit's RBI double.
At the bottom of the inning, Houston's Brian Bogusevic doubled, batting in J.D. Martinez to make it 3-1.
The Astros cut it to 3-2 after Jordan Schafer had an RBI single in the fifth.
The win slipped away for the Pirates in the seventh after a three-run homer by Carlos Lee. Jordan Scafer also scored after Martinez reached on a fielder's choice.
Houston added an insurance run in the eighth when Jose Altuve bunted, allowing Jason Bourgeois to score.
The Pirates got one more run for the night when Ronny Cedeno tripled and drove in Garrett Jones.
Ross Ohlendorf (6.27 ERA) gave up two runs and five hits over five innings. He struck out six.
Jason Grilli (1-1) takes the loss. He pitched 1 1-3 innings and allowed two earned runs and walked one.
Houston's Mark Melancon got the final out for his 15th save in 20 chances.

The Story Changes In The Studio
The Story Changes are currently in the studio working on their follow up release to Static And Trembling. They're recording with Micah Carli of Hawthorne Heights.
Record Store Day
So tomorrow is Record Store Day as most of you know. Labels put together really great releases and reissues EXCLUSIVELY at your local shop. There will be a bunch of labels trying to sell you new stuff and have discounted sales online; PLEASE don't buy them, there was a reason RSD was created and it has been a huge success bringing back a community of people to recognize and appreciate what record stores do for all of us in music. Those labels have every other day of the year to pull you in, it's really unfair to drain people of their money before they get the chance to sleep the night before Record Store Day. I Am Shark's store will be closed tomorrow for that fact. All I ask, is that you get up off of your ass tomorrow, go to your local shop, and take a chance on a new album or buy record that means the world to you. Thanks - Craig

"Our sincere, earnest, almost childlike two-term president. You know, I think that may have been his campaign slogan at one time," Stewart added.
The former president unveiled his portraits in an interview with his daughter, "Today" correspondent Jenna Bush Hager.
"Yes, much like any non-torturing, war-starting retiree, George W. Bush has returned to public life with like 30 pictures he made," Stewart said. "While your grandfather might have chosen the beach or birds on his bird feeder as his subject, George W. Bush has gone with 'Other people I knew who ran countries.'"

Stewart noted that Bush doesn't like to over-interpret his own work — or say much of anything about it, really.

#CFP: Audio: Caputo Interview
Figure/Ground interview with Dr. John D. Caputo
[ There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video. ]
Until 2011, Dr. John D. Caputo was the Thomas J. Watson Professor Emeritus of Religion and Humanities at Syracuse University. Caputo describes himself as "a hybrid philosopher/theologian intent on producing impure thoughts, thoughts which circulate between philosophy and theology." Perhaps one of his most notable works is The Weakness of God (recipient of the 2007 AAR Book Award) in which he develops aspect of Jacques Derrida's philosophy in a more explicitly theological direction. Dr. Caputo has also published a number of books about deconstruction and religion including What Would Jesus Deconstruct, The Prayers and Tears of Jacques Derrida and Deconstruction in a Nutshell. He edits the Fordham University Press Book Series Perspectives in Continental Philosophy and is an active member of the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy. Although he retired in 2011, Dr. Caputo has remained an active writer and public speaker.Farhang Erfani via Continental Philosophy on February 17, 2013 at 01:37PM

Emma's Favorite Pan: Calphalon Unison Nonstick Pan
I saw two ways to approach this topic: there's the pan that I love (which would be my dutch oven), or there's the pan that I find myself reaching for when it comes to those quick, no-brainer, feed-me-I'm-hungry weeknight meals. And that would be this Calphalon nonstick sauté pan. Surprised? Me, too.
Size is the first thing in this pan's favor. It's eleven inches across and has a 4-quart capacity. That's wide enough to sear meat or caramelize onions, and also deep enough to make a thick pasta sauce or even a quick soup if I need to. It's the perfect size for a frittata and most other skillet casseroles.
This pan is also really easy to use. It has a regular long handle on one side and a smaller grab handle opposite, making it very easy to lift, carry, and pour. It's heavy, but not nearly as heavy as cast iron or my dutch oven and I can usually manage it with just one hand. And of course, it's non-stick. Food lifts off easily and it cleans up with just a few wipes of a soapy sponge.
This particular nonstick pan from Calphalon is also designed to give food a good sear and be able to go in the oven. I use it for both of these things on a regular basis and the pan has kept performing remarkably for the two years that I've owned it.
Is nonstick really my first choice? My initial response would be "Naw, gimme stainless steel!" But the evidence in my kitchen tells me otherwise. For everyday use and plain old weeknight dinners, this is the pan I use.

I have a similar Lagostina one that I use all. the. time. Love it! We debated getting it when we got a fabulous 17-piece Lagostina set (shouldn't that be enough pots and pans?) but my husbands cries of "GET THE SKILLETTTTTT! DOOOOO IT!" won me over, and I am so glad, because it is really great! Plus, every time I get the skillet out, I think to myself "GET THE SKILLETTTTTT!" and it makes me laugh :)
Two days ago I bought a "Simply Calphalon" 12" deep fryer pan and I've used it three times. I love this shape for stir frying and sauteeing with minimal spatters on the stove top and it's deep enough to make soups. I'm guessing from the photo above that my pan is just a bit taller than Emma's pan and the sides slope out, measuring 9" across the bottom and 12" across the top.
I have all the benefits Emma mentions except that my glass lid doesn't feel as sturdy and well made as I'm sure the more expensive one's. But my budget and I can live with that.
What I really love about my pan is that Bed Bath & Beyond has it on sale for $39.99. and with a 20%, I paid $31.99 plus tax.
We received this pan (and one of their shallower "slide" coated models) as a birthday present, I love it.
Perfect side for one-pan dinners for two or three people. I use it with and without the lid from the stove top to the oven all the time. It's a great pan.
The Calphalon so-called "Everyday" pan in their commercial line is just hard-anodized, not nonstick, but once it seasons (like cast iron) it is beautifully unsticky and downright indestructible. I do indeed use it every day.
I echo jorlando's sentiments about Calpholon's commercial everyday pan. Its not nonstick but it sure seems that way........ ---nothing sticks to it----just don't put it in the dish washer; and I too use it everyday
I have set of Calpholon non stick pans that I love. They do give a good sear and are so easy to clean. They're great for making a juicy steak.
I snagged one of the nonstick sear dutch oven sized ones on Amazon one day for ~70. It's become my go to pan for pretty much everything other than eggs (And that owing only to the fact I have a dedicated egg pan due to my GF being deathly allergic to them!). I initially cringed at even that sale price, since most of my other pans are either clearance rack rescues or hand me downs from my mom (who must have the latest and greatest always in her cookware, so they're not exactly bad pans either), but after this? I'm considering slowly replacing all my other skillets at least with that line.

The Corryvreckan Whirlpool
One of the most spectacular and awe-inspiring sights in nature is a maelstrom or sea whirlpool. These magnificent spinning cauldrons are formed where tides crash or sea water is forced into narrow vortices. There are two particular well-known maelstroms in Europe {Mael = to grind or whirl around; strom=stream. cf. millstream.} - the original Maelstrom off the Lofoten Islands near the coast of Norway and the gulf of Corryvreckan between Jura and Scarba in the Scottish Inner Hebrides. These magnificent examples of nature in the raw have long held a particular place in the human psyche, and have myths and legends associated with them that seem to come from the edge of time. This programme will combine wonderful footage of these magnificent natural wonders filmed from both above and below sea-level and the ancient stories told centuries, possibly even millennia ago by the tribal peoples of Scotland and Scandinavia.
The Gulf of Corryvreckan is over 300 feet deep but when the whirlpool is at full power the depth of the water is less than a hundred feet. The particular cause of this awesome power is a subterranean spike off the coast of Scarba which causes the great Atlantic waves to form into a giant vortex and create the Corryvreckan whirlpool. It is a dangerous place and local fishermen and sailors have a wealth of stories of its dangers. Even on calm days the swell of the Corryvreckan can be several feet.

Not Every American Owes the Same Share of the National Debt
The House majority leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) recently published an op-ed, in which he argued that "If Washington actually had the discipline to live within its means over the long term, every American citizen would not owe $46,000 toward the national debt." The rhetoric is effective, but the logic is flawed; not every American "owes" an equal share of the national debt.
The national debt is what the federal government owes in long-term interest on government-backed bonds, Treasury bonds. Long-term Treasury bonds pay out over several decades, and have (thanks to the high credit rating of the United States government) a very low rate of interest. The bonds are used to finance spending in the short term for which there are no sufficient tax revenues in reserve.

today is a very very VERY good day
today is the day that jory became CANON
okay so jory is the paring of these two boys that were in my gym class (cory and julio). at the start of the semester (end of january-ish) i noticed that these two were like nearly inseparable. they would do their work together, they would do their workouts in gym together. they would walk together. they would just be always TOGETHER. neither of them had girlfriends, they were always tOUCHING one another whether it be like a silly slap or a shove or something, and when they would talk ((at least from what i could overhear anyway)) they would talk about each other omg. it was like they were super BFFs except more.
and what i personally found a little amusing was at first julio was sat next to me in the back and cory was two tables in front of us. so julio would gradually move his seat until he was seated next to cory, and then they always sat next to each other. then it came to the point where they would walk to class together EVERY SINGLE DAY.
one morning cory and julio walked in and this boy was sitting in i THINK julio's seat so cory told him to move his ass so julio could sit ((because god forbid julio sit away from cory omg)) and the boy did what he was told and cory and julio sat next to each other like the perfect gays they are.
and like when we would do our lab papers we would be in the gym, and cory and julio were OF COURSE doing their work together. there was this one time when cory and julio were opposite of each other and looking at each other and god i'm getting emotional thinking of it kjshdkhjf.
and recently (last week i think) we were playing dodgeball in gym and cory and julio were on the same team, and this boy on the opposite team threw the ball at i think julio's head or s/t and cory ATTACKED HIM. like yelling and throwing balls at HIM and i was like oh man das right cory you defend your man ksjhdflkhjsdf crying it was so pERFECT.
oh god and don't even get me STARTED on the games the class would play. if cory and julio were on the same team and if one of them had the ball, they would only throw it to each other. like fuq the other teammates man it's all about ~*JORY*~
and i became friends with julio a while back and i was talking to him and julio told me that he was sure he wasn't gay but he couldn't help feeling a certain way towards cory and it was scary because he knew he wasn't gay, but he had like ~feelings about cory and it was really upsetting for him and whateva. so i told him when you're sure about you're feelings or even if you can't find yourself to be sure about them, talk to cory and see what happens from there.
julio did just that ((and this was a few weeks ago i think))
and so today cory told julio about his OWN feelings and apparently they were mutual and julio said that they're really confused because they've obviously never been in a situation like this, but they're going to work things out together and figure out what's going on. and cory said that julio put things in "perspective" for him so THEY'RE TOTALLY IN LOVE AND TODAY IS THE BEST DAY EVER.
crying this this this-this!!! he was sure he wasn't gay but he couldn't help feeling a certain way towards cory and it...

Claude Julien shakes up lines, Johnny Boychuk misses practice
|03.24.13 at 1:26 pm ET
The morning after the Bruins concluded their 1-3-0 road trip, Claude Julien shook up his lines for Sunday's practice. All four lines were different, with Milan Lucic receiving the biggest demotion by going from the first line to the third line.
The lines were as follows:
Brad Marchand – David Krejci – Nathan Horton
Daniel Paille – Patrice Bergeron – Tyler Seguin
Milan Lucic – Rich Peverley – Jordan Caron
Jay Pandolfo – Gregory Campbell – Shawn Thornton
Asked why he altered the lines, Julien responded, "Because I can. Because I'm the coach."
The Bruins scored just six goals over the four-game road-trip. They will return to action Monday against the Maple Leafs.
Johnny Boychuk (leg) did not practice, and he remains day-to-day after leaving Friday's practice.

Say what you like about Mike Francesa, the man knows football. And he was right. My Pittsburgh Steelers – yes, I refer to them in the collective – are interested in Tiki Barber. Worse, it seems my coach Mike Tomlin talked Tiki out of retirement.
Keidel: Black & Fold
Fumbling with feelings the way the Steelers fumbled the football, I reach for the metaphysical answers to a physical game. The Steelers sucked. Sometimes the simple trumps the romantic.
Super Bowl Blog: Thursday In Dallas
Thursday was another eventful day here in Dallas and not all of it had to do with Super Bowl XLV. In addition to another day of practice for the Packers and Steelers, there were plenty of things going on inside and outside of the media center.
Super Bowl Blog: Hitting The Practice Field
On Wednesday, the Packers and Steelers practiced for the first time since arriving in North Texas – both teams took their practices indoors because of the inclement weather here in the Dallas area.
No Respect? Mighty Steelers Super Bowl Underdogs
The Steelers, equipped with a record six titles, a 14-4 record, the No. 2 AFC seed and a veteran roster on the verge of three championships in the past six seasons, are underdogs for Super Bowl XLV. Really?
Keidel: No Cryin' Over Ryan
Same old Jets? Depends on your definition. If you mean the Jets aren't in the Super Bowl, you're correct in the most literal sense. If you mean the Jets are still losers, you're rather wrong.
History Might Not Mean Much This Sunday
In a season when both conference title games feature No. 2 seeds and against No. 6s, it's foolish to discount the Jets in Sunday night's AFC championship.

I woke up to my gigaset c610ip display showing no registration to provider.I was going to call them but didn't have the time to go through the scripted t/s.I rebooted base, switched servers ( toronto->montreal-> toronto2-> montreal2 back to toronto) all with no fix. I noticed that my pap2t was still registered and functioning. ???Months ago when I got a new router I set the pap2t to register on port 5080. When I set up the c610ip I set it up on port 42872.I was trying to stay away from port 5060As per Voip.ms wiki FAQ"Does VoIP.ms offer alternative ports besides 5060 ?Voip.ms offer alternative SIP ports, UDP 5080 and 42872 on all of their servers, You can try those ports in case your ISP does block the SIP PORT 5060 UDP or if you need to use another one."It appears that port 42872 is no longer active on the above servers.20 min gone..I guess I didn't subscribe for notifications of port changes.Posted as a heads up to others..
Toronto's server changed IP's last night. I got a mail about a week ago about that. Maybe its related?
We had someone come to our support not long ago, we identified the issue immediately.We migrated to new equipment last night and the port rerouting for alternative ports wasn't working.The alternative ports on the new Toronto servers are now working properly and will remain that way.

If you were not at church yesterday, then you truly missed a blessing! Pastor Boone shared the amazing story of the healing of Namaan by Elisha that demonstrates how "God is Able". His text was 2 Kings 5:1-19. In the evening service, he related the story of the awesome hymn, "How Great Thou Art" from Psalm 70:4. His sermon was appropriately titled, "Consider the Greatness of God".
