ONTARIO -- A plan for more than 300 zone changes will go to the City Council for final approval despite often-heated testimony Tuesday night before the Planning Commission.
The plan involves zone changes for 900 residential, industrial and commercial property owners in the city.
Because of updates to the city's General Plan in 2010, some properties are now zoned in areas no longer applicable. The changes are an effort from the city to make the General Plan consistent with what the city feels is the right land use for those properties. More than 5,000 properties will ultimately be rezoned.
The commission made the decision after hearing nearly two hours of testimony from upset residents who were questioning the changes, Many were concerned the changes would lower their property values.
A majority of residents also asked the commission make an exception on their home but city staff say it would be illegal to create spot zones.
"I know that it's very hard when you have a property and you want it grandfathered in but it also has to be, by California law, consistent," commissioner Rick Gage told residents. "None of us do it with joy or without knowing these are hard decisions."
Prior to Tuesday's meeting, planning staffers held a series of meetings, dating back to the summer, to discuss how these updated land change uses may impact residential, industrial and commercial property owners, said Jerry Blum, director of the Planning Department.
Many of the changes included reducing the density allowed on a property or removing animal-keeping designation in parts of the southern part of town.
There were some residents who were initially concerned but after talking to staff, realized they had no issues with the change.
In most cases, residents were informed that even though the zoning was changing, they could maintain already existing units or structures. But if 50 percent of that structure is ever damaged in the future, the residents would not be able to rebuild it because of the zone change.
Dennis Parker, who owns property near the intersection of E Street and Sultana Avenue, was upset because the plan will change his lot designation from a residential R3 zone to an R1 which will reduce the amount he can build on the property. An R3 zone allows for multiple single family residencies on the property.
Because the units on his property are about 100 years old, Parker said he was concerned the land uses changes would ultimately make if difficult for him to obtain the proper permits if he tried to make future improvements.
"It's not the same, not even remotely the same," Parker told the commission. "Reducing the zone to R1 reduces the property value, it goes down not matter how you slice it."
Blum and his staff assured him he would be able to make the changes but after hearing his testimony and reviewing the proposed changes, staff decided to hold off a decision on his properties and asked for more time to review it.
Not everyone was as fortunate as Parker.
Staff and the commission heard from resident after resident, who raised issues with how the changes were going to impact them, including a handful who lived in the southern part of town which allows animal-keeping.
The city was removing that designation for more than 50 homes near Francis Street and San Antonio Avenue because, according to Blum, they should have never had that designation to begin with.
The main issue is the lots are not large enough to comply with the city's code enforcement to keep animals. Most of the homes in that cluster are only 10,000 square feet, the city's code requires that a lot be at least 18,000 square feet to allow animals be kept on the property.
Blum said he and his staff tried to research city documents to determine why that area had been designated for animal-keeping. The only explanation Blum said he could come up with is those properties at one time were larger and ended up being subdivided.
Gage acknowledged that it can be difficult for residents to come up and talk to them, and said he appreciated their input.
"It's not an easy thing, I've been on that side of it," he said. "I appreciate all of you that came out and gave your input because it is very important to get the input.The results don't always come out the way you want it to be but I think there was a good discussion tonight between staff and residents to get an idea why some of these things are done."
Blum told residents they will have another opportunity to appeal the decision to the City Council.
Residents who still had issues with the changes were urged to call Blum or his staff.
"Staff is always willing to sit down and discuss with you," he said.

Town Orders Restaurant Owner To Remove Flags From Roof
A McDonough business owner may just be vindicated after city officials fined him for flying patriotic flags above his restaurant.
A McDonough business owner tells FOX 5 he was just trying to show his patriotic spirit and give thanks to the military, but the city told him to take his flags down. A code enforcement officer cited CJ's Hot Dogs on Friday, but Saturday, McDonough City Administrator Frederick Gardiner told him that city law is not clear in the matter.

nice alternative to oily potato chips!
By Susan
from Toronto, Canada
Addicted potato chip lovers (always have bags in the house!) we couldn't wait to try this out! The 82 page glossy book contains instructions, suggestions (sweet potato, carrot, apple, mango and pear chips) and recipes (dips, hors d'oeuvres, soup and salad sides, and entree suggestions) great for entertaining. Heck, we just bought it for a low-cal option to store bought potato chips! The mandolin that comes with it slices quite thinly (non adjustable), and I found we could put 10 potato slices per platter (you get three stackable platters.) The instructions outline microwave times for ovens of varying watts - ours is a 1000 watt and although the instructions say 3 minutes, that may be based on one platter: we used all three platters at once and it took approx 7 minutes to micro on high to produce crunchy, browned chips. Tip: Salt before you microwave - salt sticks to wet slices better. There is a taste difference from store bought (more potato flavour, less oily) that may take getting used to, you can only do 30 or so slices at a time (quantity control!) and you may have to experiment with the micro times to get the quality you want (crispy) but it's fun and a great conversation piece when entertaining. The platters are silicone and wash easily although I did find a challenge in picking up loaded, bendable platters to put them in the microwave - this, coupled with the experimental cooking times is the only reason I don't give it a 5 star, although we're quite pleased with it for our own purposes.All in all, it's fun to use; you can feel virtuous with the no-oil option and customise your toppings (we like sea salt and cracked pepper). And if you're into low cal snacks or artistically arranged food for entertaining, this is for you. One sidenote: the mandolin is not for kids. Although it comes with a guard, this is not a professional tool (although it does the job nicely) and requires caution.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good product for making homemade chips
By Al
from Kingsburg, CA
I'm going through a lot of potatoes trying different recipes but its fun and the results are very tasty. I use the mandolin that came with the chip maker for thin chips and a different mandolin for thicker chips. My current "best" recipe is to soak freshly cut potatoes in rice vinegar then sprinkle with a salt-dried onion-spice mixture. It takes longer to get crisp chips (1200w microwave - 6 minutes) but the flavor is very good. I'm always looking for new recipes to try.

Love It!
By SG
from Bethesda, MD
Great presentation in the box and in use - sophisticated and attractive Kit. Well made. Elegant recipes in a substantial book. Only con is you have to work on microwave timing and layer switching microwave-to-microwave. If you are willing to experiment, you will love it too!

Chip Maker !!
By EJ
from Summerside, PE, Can
This does exactly what it is advertised to do!! Almost perfect guiltless snacks :-) The included mandoline slicer is not that useful. For a few dollars you can pick up a better slicer.
(6 of 7 customers found this review helpful)
By Ms.Lizzy
from Cary, NC
I love potato chips and now I can have them again without the oil or too much salt. Prep time is forever. But if I want chips, I can make them anytime--if I have a potato. Best tip: directly after slicing the chip put it in ice water. Dry just before arranging on disks. Add some seasoning.

Outstanding Chips

from Kitty Hawk NC
Best chips we ever had. Not as good for fruit with more juice than say potatoes

It Works
By Janet
from Washington, DC
I have only used it so far for making potato chips with Yukon Gold potatoes and they WERE crisp and I have to experiment more with seasonings, since they were somewhat bland....but certainly not the equipments' fault!

Best potato chips ever!
By SeeTwo
from Corvallis, OR
It took a bit longer than the directions said, but these were the best potato chips ever! Can't wait to try this with carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, apples and bananas!
Good product
By Yes Sir
from SC
The gift wrapping was amazing and helped a whole lot because when it was delivered no one in the house could figure out what it may have been. Good product and simple to use

INTERVIEW: Dirtyphonics at TomorrowWorld
The guys of Dirtyphonics (Charly, PitchIn, Pho, and Thomas) have made themselves right at home with Dim Mak. They just released their debut album on the label, and finished up a 40+ date tour, spreading their music all across the country and Canada. But they're not slowing down just yet. They tell us that there is a lot more in store from them.
We caught up with the guys at TomorrowWorld, where they talked their new album Irreverence, their new single "Hanging on Me," which remix is their favorite, and being a part of the Dim Mak family. Check it out below:
What did you think of TomorrowWorld?
It's great, I mean you know it's the first year that they're doing it here, and seeing seven stages and stage production. The vibe, the crowd, and the people [are] great, you can't ask for more. We know the festival from Belgium from Tomorrowland, the original one, they really did it like exactly the same way, the same vibe the same production, so yeah. They actually brought the big stage from Belgium to here.
Tell us about your newly-released album Irreverence?
It was it was a long process. We started thinking about writing the album two years ago. Now we have a pretty insane touring schedule, so we really started writing a year ago and to spend all that time in the studio, and all that energy, and put all of your ideas into one big project and realizing it out. You know, it's a big thing for an artist. And seeing the reaction we got from the industry, from our fans, from the crowds in general when we played out. It's the best thing. We took it on the road for that Irreverance Tour, we did over 40 gigs all across the US and Canada [for] two-and-a-half months.
How was the tour?
It was insane. Crazy. Great. First tour experience. This is the best way for touring. First time we had that big production of [a] stage.
What's it like for four guys being on the road together?
We worked well together actually. We had 12 people on the road, like technicians, other artists that were playing with us, along side us. So like Grizzly, ETC(!)ETC(!), Le Castlevania. It's the best thing, you're with your best friends, traveling everywhere and playing music every day. That's what we live for.
What's in your rider on tour?
We have a lot of stuff. We have champagne, vodka, dog. A back stage dog - but a cool one. Balloons. Four girls. Four girls to bring out on stage. Four sexy girls.
You also have your single "Hanging on Me" coming out?
Yeah. It's coming out Monday on Dim Mak. We're really excited this is the third single off of the album. On this one we have Boregore & Ookay who remixed for us. We had Kastle, who took it to like a deep house vibe, I personally love it. And those new kids on the block, Solgun & Ioh did a drum 'n bass version. It's awesome. What's great is that when you first start making music, people are helping you out throughout your career, and then you get to that point where you get a chance to give a hand to different people. And being able to do this for people, and at the same time having people take your music and bring it somewhere else to a different crowd, a different vibe, is f**king awesome. I'm really, really happy.
[Buy "Hanging on Me" on iTunes]
Which remix is your favorite?
Out of the whole EP? It depends on the mood you're in. If you're on a beach, watching a sunset on a Sunday night, I say the Kastle one. And for 10,000 people obviously the Borgore & Ookay remix, you know f**king killing it. It's a Banger. We're really happy about all of them. Reallly proud.
Well what are you guys working on next?
Right now we have this ["Hanging on Me"]that's coming out on Monday. Then we have a release that we did for Linkin Park coming out at the end of October. We have a remix that we did for Bogore, "Legend." We did a remix for Castlevania that's coming out soon as well. We're working on our next thing for Dim Mak. It's a little early to give details about it, but it's gonna be huge, and we're really really excited about it.
Do you like being a part of Dim Mak?
Oh yeah. They're family to us. What was important for us when we signed with the label for the album and all of that, was to find a place that we could keep 100% of the creative control. We didn't want to go somewhere where people would be like "oh, you have to do this and that." We are Dirtyphonics, we do whatever the f**k we want, and we needed to find a place that would have this vibe; people that trust us, and people that were friends and family. We're on the road all the time with them, whether it's like on tour or festivals. Every time we're in LA we knock at the office. It's a family. So we're really happy.
And how do you like working with Steve?
It's great. Steve is that guy who has a very strong vision of the music, of the business. He's totally open to everything we're doing, super understanding. You know, last night we came a little late, but he brought us to the stage that he was playing on with Laidback Luke and Dimitri Vegas, the Superhero stage [Super You & Me]. Took us on stage, played the remix he did for us. We have fun, he's a really, really cool, chill-out guy. Yeah, [we went] stage diving on that one. Steve and two of us. He's like super chill, he works twenty-four f**king seven. And he calls you all the time. And he's not like the kinda guy who's like "oh, I'm too big for this s**t." So yeah, we're really happy, and he's a really good friend.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
This quirky little eatery in Tempe — a little Polish, a little Canadian, and a whole lot Swedish — may have a funny name, but the food is seriously delicious. Featuring hearty dishes that, chances are, you've never heard of, let alone tasted, owner and chef Hanna Gabrielsson uses no more than five fresh ingredients and around three pounds of fresh dill each day to create a menu of (mostly) Swedish fare, featuring fish, chicken, hamburgers, and a category simply called "Meat." Standouts include the chunky Swedish meatballs; laxpudding, featuring salmon Gabrielsson has cured herself; and the exotic casserole called the Flying Jacob. And don't miss Scandinavian sweet treats like Beaver Balls and a layered creation called the Beaver Supreme — yeah, we know, you can laugh now.
Sure, chef Shinji Kurita's exquisite Japanese restaurant may have opened last June, but its discreet location, low-profile stance, and a nod as a semifinalist for Best New Restaurant in the 2012 James Beard Awards makes it seem as recent as ever. Kurita's omakase, or chef's choice dinners, are nothing short of spectacular, elegant works of art, meticulously prepared, and made with fresh, seasonal delicacies. The offerings may include a luscious whole blue crab, delectable pieces of wagyu beef you grill yourself, or several small gems of seafood — like kumamoto oyster topped with sea urchin, seared scallops drizzled with truffle oil, and Santa Barbara prawn with dots of caviar. Kurita's sushi selection is especially impressive, with wild-caught fish hailing mostly from Japan and ranging from the most delicate flavor to the breathtakingly decadent bluefin otoro. The small yet sophisticated space, a tranquil setting of wood, stone, and classical music, along with exceptional service and an equally impressive list of sakes and Japanese craft beers (like the sweet-potato brew, Coedo Beniaka) add to the indulgence. It all makes ShinBay a restaurant that could hold its own in any major city, but one the Valley is lucky enough to call its own.
Fry bread and finally. For those in the know about this tiny, bustling spot nearly tucked away on North Seventh Avenue near Indian School Road, this year's James Beard Foundation award was a long time coming. As one of five winners of its 2012 America's Classics award, which honors legendary family-owned restaurants across the country, the restaurant, which got its start in 1992 courtesy of Cecelia Miller of the Tohono O'odham Nation, serves up its specialty in golden pillowy goodness the size of a dinner plate. Topped with a variety of flavorful ingredients such as chorizo, chiles, and, in its dessert version, butter and chocolate, it's satisfying in nearly any variation. In fact, we'd say we couldn't agree with the award more — if our mouths weren't so full of fry bread.
At the recently rehabbed Saguaro Hotel, celebrity chef Jose Garces, a former Iron Chef America contestant and James Beard Award winner, has created a vibrant, colorful, and tasty paean to Mexico City street food that has caught not only the attention of local diners but the national media, including Food + Wine magazine. Despite a few misses, the "modern Mexican" small plates at Garces' restaurant are spectacular. Start with the rich gourmet version of green pozole, featuring pieces of crispy pork belly, smoky chorizo, and littleneck clams, or the citrusy yellowtail tuna ceviche, a sashimi-like twist on the beloved Mexican seafood cocktail. For a main course, dig into outstanding mahi mahi and pulled pork tacos or a tender piece of rotisserie chicken topped with a tantalizingly complex brown mole. It's nearly as good as just about anything on the barbacoa portion of the menu, especially the slow-roasted pork dish cochinita a la pibil, served in a small pool of achiote and pineapple barbecue sauce. There certainly is no shortage of local star power and top-notch culinary geniuses in Scottsdale, which makes it all the more special that someone of Jose Garces' stature chooses to bring his distinct vision to this thriving culinary scene.
This coffeehouse/bar long has been popular with the see-and-be-seen crowd, and why not? The place is consistently hoppin' with MacBook-wielding, dressed-to-impress, urbane 20-somethings. Whether you're there for a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, a craft cocktail, a bite from the ever-changing menu (we love the mac 'n' cheese), or just to chat with friends, you'll be rubbing shoulders with a clientele that is the very definition of "cool." Among the vintage typewriters, artfully placed burlap sacks, mismatched reclaimed furniture, and electronica music playing overhead, you'll find a crowd of young professionals, boho types, downtown students, and people who dig the joint's ability to be upscale without seeming nouveaux riche, esoteric without being pretentious, and tasteful without being bland. In other words, it's our kind of place. And, apparently, yours as well.
Lots of restaurants boast star and diamond ratings, but only one in Arizona has five of each. This fact, in addition to its unique Native American cuisine, makes this one-of-a-kind restaurant located in the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa, on the Gila River Indian Reservation in Chandler, the perfect go-to when you've got out-of-town guests in tow. From its beautiful interior and outdoor patio overlooking a dreamy, desert landscape, to exceptional service, to executive chef Michael O'Dowd's stunning fare mixing indigenous ingredients like heirloom squash, saguaro seeds, and nopalitos with gourmet components such as chanterelles, truffles, and foie gras, Kai is an indulgence worth the price. Plus (bonus!), your guests give you the credit for taking them there.

-What I'm saying today: It seems like most are upset about this win. The offense still looked bad. Derek Anderson wasn't quite bad enough to bring in Brady Quinn. Josh Cribbs wanted to cry after the game. Carson Palmer wasn't playing.
It doesn't matter. The Browns won. Cheer up.

What I'm saying today: Once again, I was fortunate enough to miss the game. I did DVR it, so maybe I'll watch some later this week. Seemed like another mess. There is a ton of fall out from this game. Luke will probably have some real thoughts at some point this week.
Apologies if you looked for a game preview. We've been having an issue with Word Press lately where we set a story to run and Word Press just eats it. That is what happened with the preview and in a flurry of work Sunday, I didn't even check to see if it ran. Needless to say, my prediction of another loss would have been correct.
Coach Romeo Crennel had little problem calling what wide receiver Braylon Edwards is enduring currently a slump. He's more concerned, however, with getting Edwards' problems corrected. Right now the wideout has five receptions for 46 yards. Gee, think those fantasy football wonks who have him on their rosters are a bit miffed? You betcha.
Ummm...sure the Northeast Ohio Browns media were in the locker room this afternoon, but it resembled something out of an episode of The X-Files. Many players were mysteriously missing. Yes, we know that the problem lies in the fact that they lost this past Sunday, but as one person in the room observed: "You're here when you win and you want the love; where are you when you lose and it's not going to be as easy?"
Indeed. But props to those who came around to talk.To read more or comment...
Browns defensive end Robaire Smith suffered a potentially season-ending Achilles tendon injury in Sunday night's 10-6 loss to Pittsburgh.
At his Monday press conference, coach Romeo Crennel said what was thought to be an ankle injury for Smith turned out to be an Achilles. But Crennel did not give an estimate of how long Smith would be out or whether he would need surgery.To read more or comment...
After dropping a 10-6 loss to Pittsburgh Sunday night, Cleveland will try to become one of 19 teams since 1990 to rebound from an 0-2 start to make the playoffs. After facing two of the top teams in the league in Dallas and Pittsburgh, the Browns hit the road against AFC North foes Baltimore (1-0) and Cincinnati (0-2).
''It's not really no hole,'' defensive lineman Shaun Smith said. ''The Giants started out 0-2 last year and won the Super Bowl. We're that caliber-type of team. I feel like we're a good team and we're just trying to get over the hump.''To read more or comment...

Here's a novel idea, how about the Browns keep from beating themselves? - Plain Dealer (Terry Pluto): Scribbles: Bad combination can't unlock offense - Post-Gazette (Ed Bouchette): Steelers take early division advantage
What I'm saying today: I didn't get to watch the game live, but DVR'd it. The game was dull and I fell asleep by the end of the first half. (Hey, waking up at 6 a.m. does that to you.) From what I did see, a lot of the first half problems again stem from the fact that Braylon Edwards isn't catching the ball. He dropped three catchable passes that would have continued drives. If he can't get things together, and quick, the offense will continue to sputter.
On the plus side, Shaun Rogers and Brodney Pool played pretty well. They may have stunk it up in the second half, though. I don't know. Luke may or may not have more thoughts on the game at some point.
'Just Another Game'
Is this what free agency have wrought? A couple of media members did a double take in the Browns locker room when Shaun Smith downplayed the importance of this Sunday night's Browns-Steelers game that's being televised nationally on NBC (WKYC Channel 3)
- Browns Coach Romeo Crennel has always struck me like a bear in appearance and demeanor. With respect to the latter, he only growls when necessary and in private. But that hibernation-like demeanor kind of leaves me wondering whether he can ultimately hang on to the confidence of his players.
Take today's press conference for instance:
Browns coach Romeo Crennel announced Wednesday that strong safety Sean Jones will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Thursday.
Crennel said Jones' knee, which experienced swelling in training camp that kept him out of two preseason games, flared up again after Sunday's season-opening loss to Dallas.To read more or comment...
- Akron Beacon Journal: Browns off to a bad start - ABJ's Patrick McManamon: Browns plummet to depths that defy defense - Canton Repository (Todd Porter): Another opener and yet another Browns stinker - Plain Dealer (Bud Shaw): There's no defense for Browns' drab debut --- then again, there was no defense at all - Plain Dealer (Terry Pluto): Scribbles on Braylon's bobbles, defensive futility and Crennel's pointless field goal - Columbus Dispatch: Brought back to earth - Dallas Morning News (Jean-Jacques Taylor): Cowboys' offense shows no mercy for an overmatched Browns defense
What I'm saying: The most glaring problem from this game was Derek Anderson not completing a single pass the entire third quarter. That's bothersome. Kellen Winslow, who had four catches in the first half, only had one catch the entire second half. At least we didn't have to watch the Bengals.
Luke may or may not have more thoughts on the game at some point. For now, see reactions from Romeo Crennel and Derek Anderson. Or, see a photo gallery.
Let's see how the Browns deal with this one. Donte Stallworth, wide receiver, is questionable for the game with a groin injury.
The injury occurred during pre-game warmups. Syndric Steptoe started in his place.To read more or comment...
It looks as if running back Jamal Lewis is going to give it a go against the Dallas Cowboys this afternoon.
Here's a rundown of the team's inactives:To read more or comment...
Sunday should be special for Cleveland native Steve Sanders, an East High School product who dreams of becoming his city's major one day. On Saturday, the receiver was promoted from the practice squad to the avtive roster and rookie receiver Paul Hubbard was waived.
If Hubbard clears waivers, the sixth-round draft choice from Wisconsin could be added to the practice squad. A track star in college, Hubbard walked on the Badgers' football team in 2003 and was red-shirted. While he showed his speed in Cleveland's winless preseason, he lacked consistency catching the football, dropping a touchdown in the finale against Chicago.To read more or comment...
If Browns running back Jamal Lewis can't play Sunday against Dallas because of a hamstring injury, coach Romeo Crennel said Jason Wright and Jerome Harrison will share the load.
Lewis was hurt Aug. 18 against the New York Giants, running downfield after a fumbled exchange with quarterback Derek Anderson was returned 95 yards for a touchdown.To read more or comment...
Browns coach Romeo Crennel said five-year veteran outside linebacker Antwan Peek blew out his right knee in practice Wednesday.
Crennel said, ''It looks like the patellar tendon,'' an injury that also befell center LeCharles Bentley and cornerback Gary Baxter while with the Browns. Both are currently out of football.To read more or comment...

Cleveland Indians center fielder Grady Sizemore has been all over the internet recently and not in a way the Indians, or Major League Baseball, would prefer.
Sizemore is the latest celebrity to have nude, or in his case semi-nude, photos to appear online.To read more or comment...
In preparation for the upcoming Rule 5 Draft, The Indians purchased the contracts of seven players and added them to their 40-man roster.
First baseman/outfielder Jordan Brown, shortstop Jason Donald and third baseman Wes Hodges were selected from the Triple-A Columbus roster, right-handed pitcher Jeanmar Gomez, shortstop Carlos Rivero and outfielder Nick Weglarz were selected from the Double-A Akron roster and left-handed pitcher Kelvin De La Cruz was plucked from the short-season Mahoning Valley roster to bring the Indians Major League roster to 40 men.
The 25-year-old Brown was a mid-season and post-season all-star selection who led the International League with a .336 batting average. including 15 home runs and 67 RBI in 111 games.
Although the 21-year-old De La Cruz began the season at high Class-A Kinston, after just two starts he was sidelined with a strained left elbow and missed the rest of the regular season. He did, however, return to make three starts for the Arizona Rookie League team in Goodyear, AZ and also pitched in the Fall Instructional League.
The 25-year-old Donald was acquired in the July 29th, six-player trade with Philadelphia that sent Cliff Lee to the Phillies, splitting the season between Triple-A Lehigh Valley (.236) and Columbus (.257).
The 21-year-old Gomez started the season at Kinston, but was soon called up to Akron, where he tossed a perfect game against Trenton in May and went on to capture the Eastern Legue's Pitcher of the Year Award.
There's an old baseball adage that says great players don't always make great coaches.
It goes with the line of thinking that great players are often so athletically gifted, they can't always understand why other players aren't as good, as smart or as gifted as themselves.To read more or comment...

PETA slams Katy Perry 'Roar' video
Listen to Katy Perry on iHeartRadio
PETA is going after Katy Perry for using animals in her latest music video for "Roar."
The animal rights group spoke out in the statement to the "Daily Star," standing by its longtime protest of using animals as actors.
The premise of the video is that Katy in the sole survivor of a plane crash on a tropical island who befriends a monkey, an elephant, a crocodile and a tiger.
PETA says that animals used for entertainment purposes "endure horrific cruelty" because of the "extreme confinement" and "violent training methods." The group even said it believed Katy worked with a company called the Serengeti Ranch to supply the animals for the video. It noted that the company is under close watch by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, who has inspected it 22 times since 2001.

Country Stars saluting Motley Crue with tribute album
Listen to Motley Crue on iHeartRadio
As Motley Crue wraps up their career, the band is getting a special send-off. Big Machine Records founder Scott Borchetta is putting together a Motley Crue country tribute album.
Borchetta admits he wasn't sure what the response would be when he proposed the project, but says it's been met with a great deal of enthusiasm so far. He also anticipates more stars will want to sign on now that he's gone public with the idea.
One Big Machine artist Borchetta doesn't expect to hear from is Taylor Swift, but he adds "who knows?"
The album is expected to be released this summer, in conjunction with the launch of Motley Crue's Final Tour.

WaPo Columnist Links Miley, 'So-Called Steubenville Rape'
(NEWSER) – Richard Cohen condemns teenage culture in the Washington Post today, and in so doing manages to link Miley Cyrus' VMA twerking to what he terms the "so-called Steubenville rape case." He uses the qualifier because "this was not a rape involving sexual intercourse." The passed-out girl was "sexually mistreated" and "manhandled," writes Cohen, but he suggests that's how teens operate these days thanks to a "tawdry cable TV and celebrity culture." Which gets him to Cyrus:
- "Let me also suggest that acts such as hers not only objectify women but debase them. They encourage a teenage culture that has set the women's movement back on its heels. What is being celebrated is not sexuality but sexual exploitation, a mean casualness that deprives intimacy of all intimacy." (Read his column in full here.)
A sample of the reaction:
- "This was blatant traffic bait disguised as pundit profundity," writes Twitchy, which rounds up angry tweets from all over the political spectrum.

'Knockout' Assault Results in Hate Crime Charges
(NEWSER) – Conrad Barrett wanted to get national exposure for taking part in the "knockout game," say prosecutors. The 27-year-old from Katy, Texas, succeeded in that much at least, as authorities have charged him with a federal hate crime, reports KHOU. Barrett, who is white, punched a 79-year-old black man in the jaw so hard that the man suffered two fractures and spent several days in the hospital, alleges the Justice Department. Prosecutors say Barrett recorded the assault on video, and the footage shows him laughing after the punch, saying "knockout," and running to his car, reports the LA Times.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck says goodbye to 'The View'
(Yahoo!) - After news broke Tuesday afternoon of Elisabeth Hasselbeck's move to "Fox & Friends," it's no surprise that Wednesday's episode of "The View" began with her formal announcement.
Barbara Walters had her arm around her colleague as they walked misty-eyed onto the set and sat down at that famous table.
"Today is officially my last day at 'The View,'" Hasselbeck confirmed, choking back tears, before turning to her co-hosts.
She started with Whoopi Goldberg, telling the actress, "It is undeniable that you are one of the most talented artists on this planet … but you are even more loving than you are talented. You are walking unconditional love, and I have counted on that love numerous times."
She told Joy Behar, who previously announced she'll be leaving the show in August, that even though they've spent the last decade sparring over politics, she has "the utmost respect" for her and even went so far as to say, "I love you."
Though she was absent from set, Sherri Shepherd also got an "I love you" from Hasselbeck, who went on to call her "my sister in Christ and my friend for life." Sherri soon tweeted in reply, "Love you too my sister-in-Christ... My bridesmaid... My friend. Who's hand will I hold under the table? Who will pray with me? @ehasselbeck #love."
But perhaps the most emotional goodbye was to Barbara.

Jay Z & Beyonce top 'Billboard's' Power 100 list
Listen to Jay Z on iHeartRadio | Listen to Beyonce on iHeartradio
Jay Z and Beyoncé are the most powerful pair in the music industry. The couple is topping "Billboard's" annual "Power 100" list of music's most influential people. They earned the list's top spot partly because in the past year they've both "changed how the industry and fans thought about interacting with music."
Bey sent a shockwave through the industry when she released her self-titled "visual album" last month without any promotion. The rap mogul similarly altered music's landscape by teaming up with Samsung to give away one-million copies of his Magna Carta Holy Grail before its release.
Coming in behind Jay and Bey was Universal Music Group CEO Lucian Grainge, followed by Coran Capshaw, the founder of multiple management agencies and record labels.
Live Nation Entertainment CEO Michael Rapino and Sony/ATV Music Publishing CEO Martin Bandier round out the "Power 100's" top five. Other names on the list are Ryan Seacrest, Cash Money co-founders Birdman and Slim, and Simon Cowell.

A gun owner speaks: My case for open carry
The time has come for Texas to be the 45th state to recognize the right to openly carry a handgun and the 31st state to do so without a licensing requirement. If more than half of the states can trust their citizens with this right, surely Texas can too.
People tell us they prefer the element of surprise that comes with concealed carry. They want to keep the criminals guessing about whether or not they are armed. Concealed carry is good for responding to a crime in progress; open carry is a deterrent to it. My goal is to make the case for open carry without resorting to the usual "shall not be infringed" rhetoric.
In a study published in the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, researchers Gary Kleck and Marc Gertz found that of the nearly 2.5 million defensive uses of firearms each year, 92 percent of them scare off their attackers by merely brandishing their firearm.
Arizona passed "constitutional carry" (open and concealed carry WITHOUT a license) in 2010. Since that time, violent crimes have steadily fallen each year, according the Bureau of Justice Statistics. While it's probably still too early to determine whether or not allowing citizens to carry without a license is responsible for the decline, it definitely can't be linked to any increases in criminal activity. Texas ranks 35th in violent crime in the United States.

Rafael Nadal wins steamy 9th French Open
(NEWSER) – Rafael Nadal won the French Open title for the ninth time, and the fifth time in a row, by beating Novak Djokovic 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4 today in the final. Nadal improved his record at Roland Garros to 66-1, and stretched his winning streak at the clay-court major to 35 straight. But it didn't look too good at the start for the top-seeded Spaniard. Djokovic won the first set and looked to be in control of nearly every point.

Sometime ago I posted an MFA thesis by Frank Vickery on oil spot glazes Oil spot thesis, some of which are amazing. I have been corresponding with him about such things. He has been extremely helpful. He will be running a workshop at John C. Campbell folk school in Brasstown, NC September 22-28, part of which will cover oil spot glazes. He tells me that he will be demonstrating the use of test tiles to do a line blend or progression blend to show colors. He plans to mix a couple as well as bringing some already mixed to experiment with.
Besides oil spots will be dealing with the full progression from making to finishing pots. You can see some of his stuff if you search "Frank Vickery pottery" on Facebook

Man's Forgotten $27 Bitcoin Buy Becomes $886K
(NEWSER) – Completely forgetting about the $27 in Bitcoin he bought while researching the online currency is the best investment move Kristoffer Koch is ever likely to make. Four years after his 2009 research on encryption, media coverage of the currency earlier this year jogged the Norwegian's memory and he was amazed to discover his 5,000 Bitcoins were worth $886,000, reports the Guardian. Cashing in just a fifth of his investment bought Koch a new apartment in one of Oslo's wealthiest areas.

This is the only lamp with a light beam that widens or narrows to provide daylight-simulating illumination for hobbies or ambient lighting. Simply pulling the patent-pending shade adjusts the light beam to 711 different diameters between 3" and 31". At maximum zoom, the 3"-diameter beam produces more than 10,000 LUX (2 1/2X brighter than a typical lamp) that's ideal for illuminating fine details of crafts, and the 31" beam provides optimal light for reading or ambient illumination. Light is produced by one 50,000-hour rated LED that generates clarity-enhancing, crisp white illumination that simulates natural daylight to help reduce eyestrain. An adjustable 15 1/2" gooseneck can be raised, lowered, or twisted for optimal light projection. The lamp has a steel pole and an anodized aluminum shade with a nickel finish and gold accents. Plugs into AC. Assembly required. 65" H x 9 2/3" Diam. (7 lbs.)
"The light is soothing on my eyes. It's stylish looking and sort of blends in even if it's near another floor lamp." - S.K., Maryland

Good lookin' but.....
By Anita
from Oregon
Nice looking and great for reading; however, the lightbulb can't be replaced! I wish the catalog had mentioned this detail in the write-up about the lamp. Supposedly the bulb will last for 50,000 hours, but what a waste since I doubt it will actually last that long. What if the bulb gets broken? I'd have to trash the entire lamp. Would have been a five star purchase if it hadn't been for the bulb replacement issue.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. The LED is not replaceable, but it lasts UP TO 50,000 hours. If it was used 8 hours per day, every single day, it would last up to 17 years. Please remember that we back our merchandise with a lifetime guarantee. Should you ever find that an item doesn't perform to your satisfaction, our customer service team is available at 1-800-321-1484 to assist you with returning it.

Great Value and Works Very Well
By Nana G
from Sanford, ME
We will use this product for crafts and sewing, and the design, light quality and gooseneck design are perfect for this purpose. The ability to adjust the light's width and breadth is very helpful to concentrate on that specific craft or sewing area. The only downfall is the lack of ability to replace the lamp once burnt, but has an extensive proposed life expectancy, so hopefully that's not a big problem. However, the add should have been clear on this lack of a feature.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best reading lamp ever !!!
By Arkie Fred
from Rogers, AR
We liked this light so much we brought another one. Now my wife and I both have our own reading lamps. They do not give off near the amount of heat a table lamp does. If you are a reader, you need this lamp.

Great Lamp!
By Julionandy
from West Sacramento, CA
This lamp is in my small home office next to a full size recliner. As such, not a lot of room and there is one north facing window so natural light is limited. The lamp more than fixes that, it is super bright if you want, more dffused but widely cast in its adjustment range. It does not generate any noticable heat so you don't get that "heatlamps on the ham in the deli" feel if you're sitting under it. Its attractive though neutral design fits well into my decor. I suggested a dimmer for it but no biggie, I'm real happy with it!

Great gift for young readers
By pjp
from Concord MA
We've bought about a dozen of these over the past year or so. Most we use for reading lamps beside a bed or chair, but we've also taken to giving them to nephews and nieces who are becoming avid readers. Good for both old eyes and young ones.

If you read, you need!
By Ken
from Ingleside, TX
I am a disabled Vet & I spend about 85% of my time in bed. In lieu of watching TV, I like to read. Prior to my purchase of this lamp I was constantly squinting because of standard light blub. Now I read more than ever and have no problems with dim or poor lighting!

Excellent multipurpose lighting unit
By DAVE THE SCIENTIST/PLANT CULTIVATOR.
from Las Cruces, New Mexico
This unit, measured w/ two different high-end meters (Sunlight to Moonlight measurement capability), will produce around 14,000 LUX at wide beam, and around 24,000 LUX on narrow beam at 12-14 inches. I use it for my germination, seedlings, and even for supplemental lighting along w/ two 100,000 LUX LED units. Powerful enough to use as a light source for microscopes or for soft room lighting. We have 3 now, extremely well made, quite versatile, HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION, GREAT PRODUCT!! YOU WILL LOVE TO HAVE AT LEAST TWO AROUND ALL THE TIME.

Great reading lamp
By Crazy Canuck
from Ontario, Canada
Fairly easy to assemble (keep pulling the excess cord through the base). Nice white 'daylight' for reading which can be contracted or expanded to the level that suits you. Compact design unobtrusive in any room yet provide the light you need for a project (concentrated) or a little more diffused for reading. My need is for a great floor lamp for reading and this one fills the bill nicely.

HERO: Off-duty Air Force pilot helps land United jet
(NEWSER) – Capt. Mark Gongol flies B-1B bombers for the Air Force in his day job, and he had to put those skills to use while returning from vacation with his family on a United jet. About a half-hour into the flight from Des Moines to Denver, Gongol figured something was wrong when he noticed the engines idle as the plane made an unscheduled turn, explains Gizmodo. Flight attendants rushed to the cockpit, one with a first-aid kit, as the call went out asking if there was a doctor, then a pilot, aboard. "I looked at my wife and she looked back at me and she said, 'I think you should ring the call button,'" Gongol tellsCNN.

WATCH: Jimmy Fallon And The Roots Accept ALS 'Ice Bucket Challenge'
Jimmy Fallon, Steve Higgins, and The Roots accepted Justin Timberlake's "Ice Bucket Challenge" on Tuesday's "Tonight Show," and dumped freezing cold water over their heads to raise awareness for ALS.
Joining Fallon were his guest Rob Riggle and "SNL" alum Horatio Sanz.
As Gossip Cop reported on Monday, Timberlake and his back-up band The Tennessee Kids doused themselves with ice water before challenging the "Tonight Show" group.
Fallon and crew were given the option by Timberlake of donating $100 to the charity or pouring ice water over themselves, and like the singer, they did BOTH.
Elizabeth Banks, Jennifer Morrison, Lance Bass, and JoAnna Garcia have also filmed their freezing moments for the charitable cause.
After enduring the freezing bucketful of water, Fallon next challenged the New York Jets.

10th Street Comprehensive Trt Center
4800 South 10th Street, Milwaukee, WI 53221
10th Street Comprehensive Trt Center is an Alcohol Rehab Center located at 4800 South 10th Street, Milwaukee WI. 10th Street Comprehensive Trt Center offers a variety of services to persons struggling with Alcoholism also known as Alcohol Dependency Syndrome.
When looking for an alcohol rehab center like 10th Street Comprehensive Trt Center there are a few things to keep in mind when discussing your treatment. In most cases you will work with an intake department or a case manager to set up your treatment program. We have provided a short list of items to help you determine if 10th Street Comprehensive Trt Center would be a good alcohol rehab center for you.
Detox – This is one of the most important stages of alcohol rehab. alcohol detox can be dangerous so make sure 10th Street Comprehensive Trt Center will offer a safe, supervised alcohol detox. Find out what protocols are used including detox medications.
Type of Care – There are many alcohol rehab programs including detox only, dual diagnosis, 12 step and Smart Recovery. Ask what modality of treatment 10th Street Comprehensive Trt Center uses to insure it will be beneficial to you as a patient.
Licensure – 10th Street Comprehensive Trt Center alcohol rehab center should be licensed in order to treat patients. There are two main accreditations they can have. They should be either CARF or JACHO licensed.
Length of Program – Good alcohol rehab centers will typically have longer lengths of stay. Programs can range from 7 days (detox only) to 90 day (inpatient rehab). Ask 10th Street Comprehensive Trt Center about the average length of stay for their alcohol rehab program.
Program Cost – Alcohol rehab centers vary in cost. There are many components to the cost of rehab. If using insurance for treatment at 10th Street Comprehensive Trt Center be sure to ask about balance billing (receiving a bill after treatment). Also, call your insurance company and confirm they will pay for your treatment at 10th Street Comprehensive Trt Center.
After Program Care – Alcohol rehab programs should offer on going after care in the form of Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), 12 Step Meetings (AA), and therapist.
What to expect while in an alcohol rehab center:
Once a person makes the commitment to attend an alcohol rehab center, there are certainly many questions the patient could have about what to expect. We hope to give you a good level of understanding here.
Will I be locked away against my will?
This can be a non starter for a lot of patients. The short answer is No. Agreeing to enter a treatment program is a choice, it is the patient's choice. You can leave at any time. Be aware that if you do leave AMA (against medical advice) your insurance company may hold you responsible for additional fees, or deny future treatment all together. The only time someone may be held against their will, is if a court deems them a harm to themselves or to others. Some states have begun to institute laws such as the Marchman Act in which a family can petition the court to order the patient into treatment.
Will I have a private room in alcohol rehab?
While some programs will offer private rooms (usually at an upcharge), most alcohol rehab programs only offer semi-private rooms. In most cases you will have a roommate in the room with you. This is not a major inconvenience since you will only be in your room during "lights out" hours.
Will I be able to exercise during my alcohol rehab?
Many programs try to include exercise in their schedule. Exercise can be a good coping skill when struggling with addiction and alcohol rehab centers will often allow patients time to utilize on site gyms. Make sure the program you choose has exercise as therapy session buy asking them during the intake process.
Can I have visitors during alcohol rehab?
Most programs do allow visitation during your recovery stay. However, visitation is usually limited to only one or two hours once a week. Visitation will almost always occur on either Saturday's or Sunday's. Select programs will have family weekends where the patient's family will attend groups and lectures to learn how to support the patient when they return home.
Can I have my cell phone, computer or Ipad in alcohol rehab?
There are several reasons most alcohol rehab centers do not allow electronic devices during treatment. First is the HIPAA Laws, most centers want to protect other patients identities and devices that connect to social media are frowned upon. Secondly, electronic devices can be a large distraction during treatment.
10th Street Comprehensive Trt Center is just one alcohol rehab center out of many located in Milwaukee WI. If they do not meet your needs you can find additional alcohol rehab centers on out list.

The NSA can 'collect-it-all,' but what will it do with our data next?
In the summer of 2008, Gen. Keith Alexander, the recently resigned director of the National Security Agency, posed an audacious question to intelligence analysts at the Menwith Hill eavesdropping station in North Yorkshire, in the United Kingdom: "Why can't we collect all the signals all the time?"
Since Edward Snowden's revelations began, that quote has gone a long way to color the NSA's seemingly insatiable appetite for data. Former administration officials who worked for Alexander have similarly described the cowboy-like regime of intelligence-gathering that defined his tenure, calling his strategy "the same as Google's: I need to get all of the data."
Amusingly, it wasn't until a recent interview with comedian and former Daily Show correspondent John Oliver that the general got grilled on this point. "You do understand that 'collect everything' is also the motto of a hoarder," he told Alexander during the premiere of his new talk show. "That's the fundamental principle which ends up with someone living alongside 1,500 copies of newspapers from the 1950s and six mummified cats."
Alexander smoothly responded that his "collect-it-all" quip was taken out of context, and only relevant to "specific problems"—in this particular case, the dramatic rise of U.S. troop casualties in Iraq. But additional Snowden documents released in Glenn Greenwald's new book, No Place to Hide, seem to further illustrate the "collect-it-all" mentality as a recurring mantra within the NSA and its allied intelligence agencies. Indeed, much to Oliver's humorous point, some of the material reads like dispatches from a Hoarders Anonymous convention.
Chief among them is a graphic presented at a secret meeting of the "Five Eyes" surveillance alliance in 2011 describing a "New Collection Posture" with incredibly explicit goals: "Collect it All; Process it All; Exploit it All; Partner it All; Sniff it All," and, most chillingly, "Know it All." Another document, from British spy agency Government Communications Headquarters, names a program that intercepts satellite communications, dubbed "Asphalt," describing it as a "'Collect it All' proof-of-concept system." A 2009 memo from the NSA operations center in Misawa, Japan, similarly touts its newly improved interception capabilities as "bringing our enterprise one step closer to collecting it all."
"They don't need a reason to collect information. That's a mischaracterization of what the NSA does," said Greenwald on Tuesday, during an event for his new book at Cooper Union in New York. "The reason they are collecting things is because those are communications that exist on the earth, and because they can."
A point commonly made by NSA critics is that these dragnets collect not enough signal and too much noise. Several internal documents give that credence, including one that admits the NSA "collects far more content than is routinely useful to analysts." A top-secret chart in Greenwald's book displaying "Current Volumes and Limits" for data storage shows that the agency collected upwards of 20 billion "communications events" per day in 2012, the vast majority of which were stored in various databases. In December of the same year, a program called "Shelltrumpet" processed its 1 trillionth metadata record; almost half that amount was processed in 2012 alone.

Very functional travel bag
By Julie
from Regina, SK, Canada
I used this bag while travelling recently, and while I (thankfully) didn't get to test its thief-proof claims, I did find it highly functional. The padded pocket at the back stored my tablet; the bottle pocket on the side of the bag holds a standard water or pop bottle and can be zipped shut when not in use. The strap across the back allows the bag to be slipped on to the extendable handle of any rolling suitcase or carry-on.There were only two things I didn't like about it. One was the velcro on the flap - unnecessary, in my opinion, when the flap zips shut, and I loathe velcro because it snags on other fabrics. The other was the poor design of the strap. It is designed to be used with the bag hanging on the user's left and the strap resting on the right shoulder; I always carry a cross-body bag the other way round, on my left shoulder, resting against my right hip, so I couldn't use the mobile pocket incorporated into the wide end of the strap. I found this mildly irritating; some users would probably find it a major annoyance. There should be some way to make the strap adjustable to the user's preference and still be slash-proof.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Just too small
By travellight
from virginia
This is a really nice bag but it is just too small to use as a carry on if you can only take 2 bags on the plane. It needs to be wider and deeper to carry everything without needing to carry a purse as well. It is a great bag just needs to be much bigger and could be use more compartments. Not a good bag to use if you are purchasing for travel. I purchased solely to use in air travel.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Strong and secure
By The Dragon
from Cumming, Georgia
I use my bag to travel overseas. It will hold all of my go-to stuff that I won't let out of my sight. It could use a half inch to an inch more in width/depth though. I love the separate compartments in the main body of the bag. It's great for organizing all the stuff you find you really REALLY need to take with you. It's got some pockets made of netting that can hold some little or loose stuff but the netting feels insubstantial. It could be a little more sturdy. The bag promises to be theft preventing and that's good. What is also good is the comfortable, padded strap. What a relief to my poor shoulders! All in all, a great buy at a great price.

Randy Jackson leaving 'American Idol'
Randy Jackson is leaving "American Idol." Jackson, who has served as judge on the Fox singing competition since the show's first season announced Thursday he won't be back for a 13th season.
Randy says "Idol" has been a life-changing opportunity but he's now looking forward to focusing on his company Dream Merchant 21 and other business ventures. The statement comes on the heels of a report from "The Wrap" that suggested all four "American Idol" judges would be facing the firing squad.
The fate on the show's other current judges - Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban - is still unknown.
Jackson is the only original judge remaining from "Idol's" first season. The original panel also included Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul.
