What is it?
It is a building technique that uses straw bales (or even hay bales – although it's best to use hay for animal feed) for walls – which can be load-bearing, or used to infill a timber frame. It was pioneered in the US mid-west in the 19th century by farmers whose only building material was the waste from their wheat crop. The buildings were intended to be temporary until conventional building materials were delivered. However, they found them to be solid, warm and comfortable, and many continued to live in them in preference to traditional houses.
Walls can be rendered with earth or lime to protect them from the elements (see picture).
Three common misconceptions are that they are a fire risk, they can house vermin, and they are not durable. None of these is true ('misconceptions' was a give-away, wasn't it?).
US tests have found that even unrendered straw-bale walls are less of a fire risk than timber walls (rendered walls are no more flammable than bricks). Mice and rats are not attracted to straw as it is not a food source. They are attracted to holes though, but as long as walls are rendered, they won't house vermin. As for durability, there are 100-year-old straw-bale houses in the States. The wetter climate of the UK presents more of a challenge, but weatherproof rendering and a good moisture barrier means that there will be no problem, whatever the wall material. In theory, there is no reason why a well-built and rendered building with a solid roof shouldn't last for at least 100 years and possibly a lot more. Furthermore, any problems can be rectified very easily.
What are the benefits?
Environmental benefits
straw bales don't need to be fired like bricks, and don't need cement, both of which use a lot of energy and cause pollution and greenhouse gas emissions
don't need environmentally-damaging insulation materials, as straw has a much higher insulation value than brick or concrete; also lower heating bills / reduced CO2 emissions
natural material, can be locally sourced, and if used in combination with other natural materials like timber, earth, slate and lime, means no toxins or 'sick building syndrome'
Other benefits
cheap (bales cost around £2 each)
easy and quick to build by non-experts
- good soundproofing
- they look good (like a cottage but at a fraction of the price)
- easy to modify
- and each one is unique – no 'little boxes' with straw bales
What can I do?
If you intend to live in your straw-bale building, the first thing is to talk to your local planning officer. Getting planning permission depends on the local authority, the planning officer, and where you want to build, and not so much what you intend to build it from. There is nothing specific to straw-bale construction in the Building Regulations, but they certainly conform to criteria concerning health and safety, fire resistance and energy efficiency. Problems may arise either with neighbours or planning officials who are averse to anything new in their area. On the plus side, your ideas may fit in with the local sustainability agenda, especially regarding insulation levels and the use of natural materials.
When it comes to designing and building, there are many options for every part of the house. Foundations can be concrete, flint and lime, brick or timber pillars, or car tyres with rammed earth (foundations don't need to be as deep as for brick houses). Roofs can be slate, tile, corrugated metal or bitumen, shingle or thatch. Floors can be concrete, earth or floorboards on joists.
Bales are laid with each course offset, like bricks, with hazel stakes pinning the bales together. Smaller bales can be made using a baling needle (see picture). Recycled materials can be used, including timber, doors and windows. Frames can be inserted during the wall-building process, and doors and windows fitted later.
You can self-build entirely, invite lots of friends or hold an event, or get professional help with plumbing, carpentry or electrics.
In any case, it's a good idea to read everything you can first, or attend a course.

Team Car Jack City
Taking the name Grand Theft Auto to heart, Car Jack City has teams stealing selected cars from around Liberty City. The marked cars show up on your radar as do dropoff points. Of course, you're in competition with the other teams, which makes things interesting. Unless the car is secretly stuffed full of drugs, it loses value as it takes damage. So when you get in a car, the other teams will target you -- either to jack the car from you or destroy it outright.
One strategy is to have people waiting near the dropoff points. Armed with a rocket launcher, they can turn a jacked car into a smoldering mess moments before the other team scores.
Team Car Jack City is a test of both your driving and navigation skills. Crashing into cars and lampposts may be fun, but it also devalues your ride and costs you valuable dollars. But at the same time, if you don't know shortcuts and can't figure out the quickest way to intercept somebody, then you're going to have a tough time stopping the other teams from winning.
Like Team Mafiya Work, Car Jack City is best played with several teams when possible. The smaller groups make things far more frantic as there are only a handful of marked cars at any given time. What's more fun than having two people shoot it out over stealing a high-powered Infernus? Having three people shoot it out, of course.
Turf War
Turf War is your classic capture-the-point mode. There are three points on the map (though there may be options to add more) and just two teams to try and hold them. To snag a point, you need to stand in the circle at the center of the base. The more people who stand in the circle, the quicker the base is captured. Don't worry, the points are in the same neighborhood -- you won't have to run around all of Liberty City. You could wander off it you wanted to, but that's not really the point of Turf War.
Capturing a base is pretty easy. Holding onto the base is a lot more difficult. In our numerous sessions with Turf War, it became a challenge to get all three points at the same time. Leaving enough people to defend two bases and then reclaim another is not easy. But there are some tricks we learned. Setting up road blocks is a wise strategy. Pile cars on the street to block off access. You can also shoot up the lead car and get it smoking and close to total destruction. This way, if the other team tries to smash through the barrier, they should do enough damage to the smoking car to set it on fire -- and have it explode. And you pop one car and the other 15 are sure to follow. Done properly, you can create a fireworks display heretofore unseen in a block party.
You don't have to capture all points to win the match. You just need to score the most points before time runs out. Points, obviously, are given for controlling bases. So the more you control and the longer you control them, the better your chance of winning.
Turf War is a fun and frenetic mode. It's the mode most likely to inspire a drive-by. And, like most of the other modes in GTA IV multiplayer, is puts a premium on teamwork. Eight individuals doing their own thing leads to failure. Success comes to those who communicate and work together. You know, the stuff Xbox Live is famous for.
You only have one week of waiting left before you can get your hands on GTA IV multiplayer. And if this doesn't have you pumped and ready, remember that we will have continuing coverage of GTA IV throughout the week. Check back each day for new details on this year's most anticipated game.

Littlefoot's Adventures of Pinocchio is another Land Before Time crossover film planned to be re-edited by yru17. It's unknown if the film will be shown on YouTube.
Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Chomper, Ruby, Guido, Grandma Longneck and Grandpa Longneck (along with SpongeBob, Stan, and their friends) meet a wooden puppet named Pinocchio who wishes to become a real boy.
- SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star, Squidward Tentacles, Sandy Cheeks, Eugene Krabs, Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, Kenny McCormick, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Taran, Princess Eilonwy, Fflewddur Fflam, Gurgi, Orddu, Orgoch, and Orwen, The Flying Dutchman, Jesse Greenwood, Elvis, Randolph Johnson, Nadine, The Goonies (Mikey Walsh, Brand Walsh, Mouth Devereaux, Data Wang, Chunk Cohen, Andy Carmichael, Stef Steinbrenner, and Sloth Fratelli), Baloo, Bagheera, Zazu, Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria, The Penguins of Madagascar (Skipper, Kolwalski, Rico, and Private), Roger Rabbit, Scooby-Doo, Shaggy Rogers, Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, Jean-Bob, Speed, Puffin, Charlie Barkin, Itchy Itchiford, Anabelle, Carface, Killer, Belladonna, Creeper, Shere Khan, Pete, Lord Rothbart, The Machine, and Sheldon J. Plankton guest star in this film.
- Carface, Killer, Belladonna, Creeper, Shere Khan, Pete, Rothbart, and Plankton will work with The Coachman (which is why they will only make a few minor appearances) and Anabelle will also work with the Blue Fairy in this film.
- Willy the Whale (from the first three Free Willy movies) and Mo will make a cameo during the underwater sequence where Littlefoot and the gang help Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket search for Gepetto.
- Unlike DisneyDaniel93's film Winnie the Pooh Meets Pinocchio, this is an NTSC film with NTSC bits from The Land Before Time movies, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers, Mickey's House of Villains, A Goofy Movie, An Extremely Goofy Movie, The Black Cauldron, Free Willy 1-3, The Goonies, The Jungle Book 1 and 2, The Lion King 1 and 2, Madagascar, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, the Scooby-Doo movies, The Swan Princess trilogy, and the All Dogs Go to Heaven trilogy.
- The only reason why Roger Rabbit is in this film is because Simba and the Jungle Adventure Crew (with Fu Dog being the last team member) will have their own adventure in Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa's Adventures of Pinocchio, which will be made before Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa's Adventures of Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
- Littlefoot and the gang were with Jiminy Cricket before in the not-yet-released Littlefoot's Adventures of Sleeping Beauty (which explains how they first met Jiminy Cricket), Littlefoot's Adventures of Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home, Littlefoot's Adventures of Ghostbusters II, Littlefoot Goes to Madagascar, Littlefoot Meets Tarzan, The Land Before Time/Star Wars saga, Littlefoot's Adventures of Space Jam, Littlefoot's Adventures of Pocahontas, Littlefoot's Adventures of Rock-a-Doodle, Littlefoot's Adventures of The Little Mermaid, Littlefoot Meets The Swan Princess, the Disneyland version of Winnie The Pooh In Fantasmic!, and Littlefoot's Adventures of Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
- This film was originally planned to mark the first time Littlefoot and his friends would meet Jiminy Cricket, but after Yru17 saw that they had not known Pinocchio yet in the Disneyland version of Winnie The Pooh In Fantasmic!, he decided to have Littlefoot's Adventures of Rock-a-Doodle mark the first time Littlefoot and the gang would meet Jiminy Cricket instead. That was before Yru17 decided to have Littlefoot's Adventures of Sleeping Beauty mark the first time Littlefoot and his friends would meet Jiminy Cricket instead, after he felt that Jiminy Cricket would already know Princess Aurora in Pooh's Adventures of The Princess Diaries.
- This film actually takes place after the Disneyland version of Winnie The Pooh In Fantasmic!, which explains Littlefoot and the gang not knowing Pinocchio yet.
- Littlefoot and the gang will see Jiminy Cricket again in Littlefoot's Adventures of An American Tail: Fievel Goes West.
- This film actually takes place after Yogi Bear and The Black Cauldron, which explains Jiminy Cricket already knowing Taran, Eilonwy, Fflewddur, Gurgi, and Creeper from that film onwards.
- Pinocchio was first released on home video in 1985, the same year that The Goonies and The Black Cauldron were released in theaters and the TV show The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo was on ABC Saturday mornings.
- Pinocchio was re-released in theaters in 1992, the same year that the TV show Goof Troop was on syndicated television.

Easter Devotional (16 of 25) by Christopher Harbin
This content is part of a series.NOTE: This sermon is part 31 and 32 of a 50 part devotional series. Two sermons outlines are included in this download.
Thirty-First Day (31 of 50)
Series: Easter Devotional
Christopher Harbin
I Thessalonians 5:19-22
''Don't turn away God's Spirit or ignore prophecies. Put everything to the test. Accept what is good and don't have anything to do with evil.'' 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22
It is an easy thing to ignore the seemingly erratic voice of those claiming a word from God. All too often we hear the ravings of fancy with claims to be from God. Many are deluded by television personalities who reportedly speak on God's behalf, yet speak mainly to the filling of their bank accounts and increasing their view ratings. In the face of such excesses, it is simple to turn to the traditional moorings of our faith in order to discount any messages which counter or critique our received traditions. By following just such a pattern, the Jews on the First Century too readily ignored Jesus' gospel of grace through faith. As I saw on a church sign recently, ''There is nothing so dark as a closed mind.''
Thirty-Second Day (32 of 50)
Series: Easter Devotional
Christopher Harbin
Ezra 8:22-23
''I was ashamed to ask the king to send soldiers and cavalry to protect us against enemies along the way. After all, we had told the king that our God takes care of everyone who truly worships him, but that he gets very angry and punishes anyone who refuses to obey. So we went without food and asked God himself to protect us, and he answered our prayers.'' Ezra 8:22-23
I worshiped with a church in Brazil whose sanctuary was in dire conditions. Termites were eating the exposed beams, as well as the very pews. The roof sagged under the ceramic tiles, as the wooden supports quietly eroded under the termites' attack. The members lamented the conditions of the building, throwing up their hands in despair and resignation. ''We need to get the Americans to come back and build us a new sanctuary.''

This Initiative Will…
• Elevate the importance of postsecondary education—a degree or workforce certificate—as the "new minimum" in order to gain access to opportunities.
• Produce a governors' guide and case studies on leading state efforts to integrate and use education and workforce data to better align higher education and workforce training with state specific labor needs.
• Kick off an intensive effort with six to eight states to develop and implement a policy agenda to build and strengthen education and workforce training programs, promote stronger collaboration and information sharing between education and workforce/economic development agencies and organizations and education entities.

According to The American Institute of Architects' (AIA) first quarter 2009 "Home Design Trends Survey," demand for less living space and overall smaller-sized homes has increased in recent years. Homeowners also are showing a greater preference for lower ceilings and fewer two-story foyers than in past years. The costs of heating and cooling homes with high-volume living spaces and excess square footage have become onerous for many homeowners, particularly during the housing and economic downturn.
Architects report that interest in home improvements such as finished basements and attics and outdoor living features remain popular. "As the housing boom has passed, there seems to be a renewed interest in investing in properties to make homes more livable, as opposed to real estate that can be resold quickly for a profit," AIA chief economist Kermit Baker, Ph.D., Hon. AIA, said in a statement about the survey. The survey focused specifically on home layout and use.
Interest in enhancements that improve accessibility and enable homeowners to remain in their homes as their physical abilities change has remained high, despite slight drops in reported increases from last year. Sixty-three percent of surveyed architects reported increased inquiries for in-home accessibility features; 49 percent said access into and out of homes were top concerns for homeowners. Respondents also indicated increased client interest in open layouts (50 percent) and more requests for single-floor plans (34 percent).
Interest in outdoor living elements also remains high, although it decreased slightly from last year's reported numbers. Topping the list of outdoor living and landscaping trends are low-maintenance landscaping (67 percent), outdoor living space (60 percent), and blended indoor/outdoor living (51 percent).
The AIA will publish a full report of the first quarter 2009 "Home Design Trends Survey" in an upcoming edition of AIArchitect.

Coming into mid-October it's hard to ignore the blatant signs that Halloween is fast approaching. As a kid, I was never really into the scary aspect of the holiday as I lamely get frightened extraordinarily easily. My costumes consisted of things like ballerina, genie (three times running), jester, butterfly, Peter Pan and the like. I preferred to be silly or cute rather than gory or haunting.
Candy—gobs and gobs of candy—aside, for we all know that's the greatest part of the holiday, I've always found the tradition and storytelling around Halloween fascinating. The same stories have been told for years. Classic horror tales are succinct and hard forgotten and I'm sure that kids are still getting spooked by the one about the two prom goers stuck in a broken down car, with the hook methodically tapping on its roof even though cell phones are ubiquitous nowadays.
The scariest story for me, however, was The Girl with the Green Ribbon. It wasn't particularly chilling or really that horrifying at all. Just a story about a girl who always wore a green ribbon around her neck, referenced throughout the story of her life until the day her curious husband implores her to untie it, despite her protestations. The story simply ends (spoiler alert!) with her head falling off. No aftermath, no more to say. The simplicity of the tale might have been the part the got to me, because I remember being chilled to the bone by this one growing up.
Whenever I mention the story to friends or anyone with whom I happen to be discussing scary things with (happens all the time, guys), I'm often met with blank stares, so it was with delight that I saw the tale hitting #13 on Buzzfeed's 14 Books That Traumatized You As A Kid the other day. I wasn't making it up! And I'm not alone!
In the spirit of the season, what are your favorite scary stories (to tell in the dark or the light)?

My son was just diagnosed with Tourette's last Friday. He is 8 and in grade 4. He has a wide range of tics but the worst is the loud vocal screaches. I just got back from meeting with the Principal and VP at his school and they are lost. I explained it all to them and they asked me to ask him to obstain from the loud vocal noises while in class. Is this possible?? From reading I know it is possible for short amounts of time. They have agreed to have someone from the Tourette's Foundation come in and talk to the teachers but don't feel it is necessary to do one for the students? I don't agree and if problems continue I guess I will have to ask again. At what point to you turn to medication? His psychologist has put him on Sequel (sp?). Do you think this is right or should I wait? Should I be teaching him to obstain? Or should I just wait for him to do that on his own? He also has ADHD. Which he wants to medicate him for later after we find the right med for him for the Tourette's. Is this wise? Sorry for all the questions I am just a little overwhelmed at the moment. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Leah


text: I wish recipes listed the number of pans/dishes/appliances involved, along with the ingredients. Let's just say I don't like doing dishes, and this recipe required 2 uses of the food processor (with cleaning in between), the electric mixer, a saucepan, 3 bowls and a baking dish. That's simply too much. It was tasty, but not worth the effort required in creation or cleaning up.

Capital Oil & Gas to Acquire 20 Mel's Pizza Express Sites
The c-store company will work with the QSR franchise to develop locations.
HIALEAH, Fla. -- Capital Oil & Gas Inc., a convenience store operator based here, entered negations with quick-service restaurant (QSR) franchise Mel's Pizza to acquire and develop 20 new locations in the state.
Capital Oil retained Alpiza Construction Co. to evaluate and design the first two locations, in Kendal Lakes and Miami Gardens, according to the company.
"The company expects and believes that these additional locations will add significant revenue—gross several millions of dollars in revenues—towards its bottom line, as they are a well recognized brand in the Florida market and the demand for pizza has increased with the economic down turn," Ariel Rodriguez president of Capital Oil, said in a statement. A call to the company for more information was not returned by press time.
Capital Oil & Gas operates retail gas stations, c-stores and fast food operations throughout Florida.

Good morning, fellow Wonkers and Wonkettes, and welcome to the midsummer collection of refreshing blog posts. And now to quench our thirst for knowledge (amongst other things):
■ Joe Paduda, HWR co-founder and all-around nice guy, believes that there is no "Obamacare," and offers some clarification about what PPACA is, and isn't.
■ Our good friend Louise Norris reports on the Centennial State's health insurance rate environment. She notes that, as always, "premium is king," but that that's always been the case. So what's different now? Click through to find out.
By the way: When you get there, be sure to congratulate hubby Jay on his recent appointment to the Connect for Health Colorado board of directors. Mazel Tov, Jay!
■ Over at The Hospital Leader, Brad Flansbaum tells us about "super-utilizers," folks who consume a disproportionate amount of health care, and what this means for the rest of us "normal" folks.
■ Jaan Siderov has always been one of my very favorite bloggers in this corner of the blogosphere, and his submission this week further cements that: we've all heard concern about the various carrier mergers; Jaan offers his own take, with some currently-under-the-radar concerns.
■ As usual, David Harlow casts an outsized shadow with his unique insights into something that, at first glance, seems so simple: patient reviews of their docs. David asks a simple question ("Where are the metrics to guide rational choice of provider?") and then dives right in.
■ Uber-wonk Roy Poses takes to task former President WJ Clinton for touting a liver pill (no, not this one) that costs $1,000 a pop, yet shows little evidence of actually, you know, working very well.
■ Jason Shafrin, my favorite Health Care Economist, also asks a question: "What is the key driver of regional variation in the cost of treating patients with cancer?" Think you know? Well, then, click on through to check your knowledge.
■ The Health Affairs Blog sends along this post by Donald Light on the risks versus rewards of certain FDA-approved meds, and notes an "epidemic of harm from medications [that] makes our prescription drugs the fourth leading cause of death in the United States." Talk about the cure being worse than the disease!
■ Another good friend, David Williams, wrestles with the conundrum [ed: what a great use of that term in this context] that capping insured patients' specialty drug co-pays may actually do more financial harm than good, in the form of higher prices.
■ Workers Comp maven Tom Lynch has his sights on the alarming fact that injury rates for home health and personal aides is two-and-a-half times that of other workers, and that OSHA's really failing these folks.
■ Long time HWR contributor Peggy Salvatore introduces us to the 21st Century Cures Act. Overall, she likes it, but is puzzled by the fact that its proposed funding mechanism is revenue not from Big Pharma and the NIH, but the oil industry. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but she wonders why the health care sector is turning to the energy sector for cash.
■ The folks at healthinsurance.org offer a post from Amy Lynn Smith extolling the virtues of the ACA as it relates to the LGBT community.
■ To finish up, I'm going to exercise Host's Privilege and tout this two-parter from my co-blogger Mike Feehan. We spend a lot of time at IB correcting folks who conflate health care with health insurance, but Mike tackles new ground in his posts: despite popular usage, health care and medical care are not the same.
Mike makes a compelling case. Click here for Part 1, and here for Part 2.
Well, that's it for this week. Hope you enjoyed the good reads and tasty concoctions. Don't forget to drop by PeggySalvatore's place on August 20th for the next edition.

Indy Racing Notebook
Yasukawa eager to race in IRL; Penske working with new Dallara.
INDIANAPOLIS, Thursday, Dec. 12, 2002 -- Roger Yasukawa, the newest young American driver in the Indy Racing League, knows that stepping up to America's premier open-wheel series will be a challenge.
But he thinks he's up to it, thanks to his new team and his oval experience.
Yasukawa, a Los Angeles native who lives in West Hollywood, Calif., was named Dec. 10 as the driver for Super Aguri Fernandez Racing, a new IRL team formed by CART standout Adrian Fernandez and former Formula One driver Aguri Suzuki. Yasukawa, 25, will drive the Panasonic ARTA Dallara/Honda/Firestone for the full, 16-race IRL season in 2003.
"I am very excited to be part of Super Aguri Fernandez Racing," Yasukawa said. "This new program is going to be a big challenge for all of us, but I am confident about the whole package, and I know I will learn a lot from the team. I will put 100 percent effort into bringing good results."
Good results on ovals are nothing new for Yasukawa. He won a Toyota Atlantic round in 2002 on the Milwaukee oval in just his second career start in the series. He also scored more points on ovals than any other driver in the series last season.
Yasukawa also raced on ovals in the Barber Dodge series, in which he was Rookie of the Year in 1999.
"The IRL is the 'big boy' series for me -- the first time that I will be racing against people such as Michael Andretti, Al Unser Jr. and Sam Hornish Jr.," Yasukawa said. "I have experience on the ovals from the Atlantic and Barber Dodge series, and I had good oval results this year. The IRL itself is a great series, and I think it is going to be very competitive next year. I am looking forward to it."
Chassis chores: Marlboro Team Penske took delivery of its new 2003 Dallara chassis this week in preparation for the upcoming IRL season. But before the car turns a wheel, there is a lot of work to be done to prepare it for its maiden run.
The car was flown from the Dallara factory in Parma, Italy. It was sent in separate parts, including the tub, the front and rear suspension, the front and rear wings, the gearbox and the wheels.
Once the car arrived at the race shop in Reading, Pa., the first step was for the team to reassemble it so that the painters can create the 2003 paint scheme and the mechanics can run a series of checks to be sure the body fits together properly. In addition, the team's electronic engineers take this time to plan their instrumentation layout for all the electrical components, including the telemetry.
Once this is complete, the team then disassembles the chassis and conducts a thorough examination and cleaning of each and every piece. The chassis is then reassembled so the painters can paint it and the electronic engineers can install the electronics.
After just a couple of days, the new 2003 Dallara chassis is almost ready to be tested on the track. The only thing remaining is for the drivers to be fitted for their seats.
"At first glance, Dallara has changed the car dramatically from the 2002 chassis," said Tim Cindric, president of Penske Racing, Inc. "Although it is always a challenge to come to grips with new equipment, we are looking forward to the opportunity to compete under the new IRL technical specifications. It seems that the series will be more competitive than ever, and I feel we will be ready to contend for the championship once again."
IRL announcer Sullivan earns national award: Pat Sullivan, who shares track-announcing duties with Brad Dickison at nearly IRL event, earned the prestigious Non-Winged Media Member of the Year Award at the National Sprint Car Poll Awards ceremony Dec. 5 at Indianapolis.
Sullivan, from Carmel, Ind., writes about non-winged sprint-car racing for Elbows Up! newspaper and Sprint Car & Midget and FlatOut magazines in addition to announcing at IRL races and many Indiana short tracks.
The awards ceremony is an official program of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum Foundation, Inc., based in Knoxville, Iowa, home of the prestigious Knoxville Nationals.
Hot laps: Tickets for the Belterra Casino Indy 300 IRL race on Aug. 17 at Kentucky Speedway are on sale at the 156 Meijer stores in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois. Meijer recently became the Official Supercenter of the track -- Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves is featured in the December issue of Movieline Magazine, available on newsstands. He is profiled in the "Visions of Luxury" section in which five celebrities give their idea of luxury. Castroneves, who chose a night on the town as his luxury, was photographed in early October at Tao Restauarant in New York for the story -- Valerie Bettenhausen, the wife of Indianapolis 500 veteran Tony Bettenhausen Sr. and mother of Indy veterans Gary and Tony Bettenhausen, died Dec. 5 at age 81.

There's nothing like a beef brisket to serve a crowd. However, don't let that discourage you from cooking one every now and then for just your family, whatever size that may be.
Brisket freezes well and, if shredded, is perfect for French dip sandwiches. Don't discard the French onion soup broth that this brisket cooks in. It's just right for sandwich dipping.
Remember to talk to the person who staffs the grocery meat counter. A good, experienced butcher is a good source of information on cooking that particular meat. And just because only the whole brisket is displayed doesn't mean that the butcher won't cut it if you only want half. Some stores do charge a fee for the service, however.
If the brisket is on sale, get it whole, cut it in half when you get home and trim off the excess fat. Put half in the freezer for another time. If you need the whole thing for a big gathering, you will still need to cut it at least in half to fit your slow cooker. This is a good time to use a large cooker.

Like mourners at a gravesite, people lined up Thursday on Railway Avenue in Vancouver's industrial east side to get their last Korean barbecue tacos and bibimbaps from the popular Coma Food Truck, now in its final week of existence.
The predominantly 30-something crowd also expressed a wild variety of condolences – a sign of the passion and seriousness with which Vancouverites have become attached to food trucks.
"This is a ... travesty," said Jeremy Pierre, a developer at the HootSuite office just steps away from where Coma has made regular twice-weekly stops for the past year. He, like many, blames city bureaucracy for Coma's shutdown.
"I'm going to be sad when it's gone," said Erico Nascimento, one of eight young workers from Appnovation, another nearby tech firm, who had come out for lunch.
"I was posting on Facebook and Twitter about how my life is ruined now," said Jonathan Whang, another from the Appnovation group. He came bearing plastic containers so he could buy some extra burritos to tide him through the weeks ahead.
But the owner of Coma Food Truck, a 27-year-old Korean immigrant in Vancouver by way of Los Angeles, is not shutting down his truck this Saturday because he couldn't get a permit.
Jay Cho could have renewed his existing permit this year. But it was for one of the city's 20 mobile food trucks.
What made Mr. Cho throw in the towel was that he did not get one of the coveted permanent spots in the city last month. It was his second try and, he decided, his last, after being one of 47 applicants who didn't make the cut for the 12 new spots awarded.
"Why should I wait another year just to please the city?" said Mr. Cho, who has decided he will go to New York to study at the Culinary Institute of America, then aim for a Michelin-starred restaurant.
Mr. Cho said it is difficult to operate a mobile operation that has to find new spots every day with the hope parking is available.
And he's baffled as to how he didn't have enough points to be given a permanent spot, when he routinely gets rave reviews from customers and the media. As well, he already has an operating truck – unlike at least one truck-less applicant given of the 12 spots this year.
Coma Food Truck's imminent departure has stirred up a small storm on Twitter, where many have been posting testaments to the quality of Mr. Cho's food – and complaints about his treatment.
Vancouver Councillor Heather Deal said she's upset to see Mr. Cho is quitting.
"I'm really sorry he's shutting down," said Ms. Deal, the point person on the wildly popular food-truck program that started two years ago with a little over a dozen trucks and has now grown to 123 – 103 in permanent spots and 20 that have to roam, like Coma did.
But, she said, the trucks are rated by different groups of people who assess business plans, health and safety, nutritional value and yumminess – groups independent of each other and of council. So Mr. Cho is not being picked on or singled out.
Mr. Cho's reaction, she said, "shows me the program is a success because people really want in."
Certainly, Mr. Cho seems to be in the minority with his decision to up and quit. One of the people first in line at his truck Thursday was Alessandro Vianello, who is planning to apply for one of the mobile permits next month after also failing to secure a permanent spot last month.
Mr. Vianello, a former executive chef at Prestons in Coal Harbour, is going to be serving Mediterranean-style food such as wild-mushroom pies and his version of coq au vin, with the hope of creating a "restaurant experience on the street."
"Obviously it's upsetting we didn't get [a permanent spot] But I can't just pack up and quit now. It's too late."Report Typo/Error

What About Holly Jo?
An Ivor Production
An Ivor Production
You come home from work a couple of hours early one afternoon. It had been a quiet day and you thought it would be good to spend some time relaxing. You get indoors, look out through the window into the back garden (yard is that to you?) and see:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
your 15 year old son Lee and Holly-Jo, the girl of the same age who lives next door. The two have been friends for some time.
But, beer and cigarettes!
You tell Lee to go inside and to his room and that you will deal with him shortly. He knows this means he is going to get his butt whipped. Then you tell Holly-Jo to go home and that you will be round later on to tell her father what you found them doing.
Lee is still there and hears what you say. He pleads with you not to tell her father. You ask why you shouldn't. He says it was his beer and cigarettes. You say that doesn't change things. The pair exchange glances, she nods and he says:
"If you tell her parents she'll get the hairbrush from her Mom. That's wicked. Can't you give me a double whipping instead."
What are you going to do?

Christina Aguilera: My son will give me a 'heart attack'
Christina Aguilera's son is "going to give her a heart attack".
The 'Beautiful' hitmaker admits her son Max, eight - who she has with her ex-husband Jordan Bratman - scares her on a daily basis as he has taken a liking to parkour.
Speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she said: "Max is into this new sport a.k.a free running, parkour. It's all these crazy men jumping off of buildings and stuff. He's just like this little acrobat. He'll be in Cirque du Soleil one day or something, he's just that guy.
"He couldn't care less that I'm on 'The Voice' - the chairs, the whole thing, he couldn't care less. But if I was on American Ninja Warriors he would literally want to come to work with me every day. Then I'd be cool, the cool mom.
"Look at him, training already to jump off of buildings one day and give me a heart attack - it's awesome!"
Meanwhile, the 35-year-old singer - who also has 21-month-old daughter Summer with her partner Matthew Rutler - previously admitted her own childhood wasn't "emotionally safe and secure".
She shared: "I definitely knew when I was going into making the decision to have children of my own, that I definitely would do my very best to make sure their environment was safe, that they were emotionally safe and secure, because those were the things that I didn't have growing up.
"In turn, [that's] why I found music to definitely be my form of release and my outlet and therapeutic at times for me. Hopefully I'll instill a love of music in them in a joyful sense rather than having them need it as an escape."

Competition is fierce:
dvertising tries to develop a selective demand for a specific product. Advertising creates features like higher megapixels, and lower prices to benefit and persuade consumers. Competition is fierce because their are other companies and markets selling the same product. However, firms don't admit that their products are identical since they slightly differentiate their products from their competition. Firms also differentiate their product in a way they are able to convince consumers that their product is different and better from other producers. Markets determines the price for a various product by matching buyers and sellers for the product making sure that people don't substitute their products for cheaper goods. Competition is so fierce that it surrounds us everywhere from bus stations and shopping malls to radios and television commercials, It is obvious that companies would do anything to promote their goods and services. Competitive advertising may be either direct or indirect. The
t type aims for immediate buying action. The
type points out products that will affect future buying decisions. EX: Ads with direct prices, and phone numbers to call, is most likely a Direct type aim. Ads that focus on the quality of service and suggest you check the web site is an indirect type. Overall, competition creates conflict between markets and industries and the purpose of selling the products for the needs of the consumers changes the other way around.
Advertisement can easily be used to promote a bad cause:
Advertising something harmful like drugs/alcohol, obesity, sex, and women as sex objects not only hurts the Canadians but the economy as well. Since tobacco and alcohol is legal in Canada, advertisers take advantage and this ends up killing or disabling more than half a million people annually. 75% of the movies coming out portray characters smoking but they don't show the cause of smoking. Employing someone who smokes also costs employers thousands a year because of their increased sick days, breaks and insurance which also lowers the work productivity. Young children are growing up very fast because of societies advertising, the advertisements portrays women and men a certain way and promotes products that help them be: younger, skinnier, muscular etc.. This impact is now a big issue in Canada, Children are less likely to be buying stuffed animals and more likely to buy cosmetics, and clothes at a young age.
Advertising powers the economy:
Advertising helps promote and supports
a wide range of
It gives a voice to those who were voiceless before.
A starting up business needs to establish their identity. With advertising businesses are able to
to promote their company and gain
. In theory once the company has established identity they are then able to differentiate themselves from their competition, and advertising allows them to do that. Advertising
competition. It is basically Adam Smith's 'Invisible Hand' theory. Each company, Out of their own self-interests is driven to try to convince consumers that their product is better than everyone else, whether it is because their price is lower or their quality is better. The company that is most competitive is usually one who has the best advertisement.
When companies become more successful it creates more jobs, pays more tax, and their companies growth contribute directly to the economic growth of the GROSS Domestic Product.
Advertisement is costly and promotes unnecessary spending:
Total Canadian Advertisement spent in 2010 was $11.55 billion CAD enough to end unemployment. Advertisement promotes unnecessary spending while also creating and spending thousands of dollars on thousand useless Ads. Guess who pays? Us. When organizers subsidize their product into the mass media, we the purchasers have to pay a grossly increased price to pay for the product itself and the sum of the cost to make the advertisement for that product. Ex: Dove's commercials are huge and that's because we support it by paying 10$ for soap bars when in reality it should be for 2/3$. It's impossible for Canadians to
run away from advertisements; we can't do anything but
watch them play their dirty little tricks.
The quality of adverts can cause the market to rust and subsequently create a situation where economy begins to weaken.
Canadians are constantly being bombarded with advertisements in the hope that they will choose that specific product; they are not thinking about the outcomes of our children.
Huge sums are being put into economy through the money spent on advertising. It boosts the price of goods and services.
Assorted techniques like weasel words are enforced for persuading consumers that they want the product that is being advertised when in reality they don't need it at all. "Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don't have for something they don't need".
Being completely neutral is impossible; media outlets should inform Canadians of an existing bias. The liberal media bias should be supported in order to give voice to a greater part of the Canadian population.
Advertisement is a huge threat to Canada mainly the children, in today's society children are physically and mentally growing up faster than they should and not in a good way.
Advertising funds sports and culture:
Advertising does an amazing job funding for the media and the creative industry.
Without advertisement, Cinemas box office would be reduced by 300 million.
The cost of running the olympic games and FIFA world cup gets funded by advertisement.
To replace advertising revenues, newspapers would have to double their cover price
Website that we use in our everyday life wouldn't be free anymore if it weren't for the advertisements; without advertising, many of the world's media would not even exist.
An estimated amount of "
67% of internet users
willing to receive advertisements in return for free content
Overall, Advertising has created so many opportunities and funds media and the creative industry. It has increased Canada's overall GDP by providing Canada with many interesting recreational services and programs. Because of Canada's unique multiculturalism, advertisements can help provide many cultural and ethnic performances like the ones we already have today.
Advertising has been going on for longer than we can remember, it is just in our nature to showcase the best of our ability (or in this case, products)
We see advertisements everywhere in our daily lives that we have just been accustomed to it
Starting up business are able to establish their identity and gain publicity while already established companies are able to keep their consumers interested and reminded
Advertisements allows consumer to have more choice to choose from. Which in theory allows the invisible hand to be put into place
Good cause are able to be promoted. It's an easy way to raise awareness and educate Canadians with only just a little amount of their time
Advertising is able to fund amazing projects that would not have existed and has created many more opportunities

Advertising's bad.
Advertisement in Canada is an unnecessary spending that causes a distress to our Canadian's economic growth.
Advertisement can also be used to promote awareness in an economic society:
All over the world advertising has allowed good causes to be promoted. Advertising is an effective way to increase AIDS awareness, promote energy saving, fight domestic violence, or reduce road deaths by encouraging the use of seat belts. In order for companies to sell they sometimes reach an issue that will not only be able to help promote their brand but also promote the cause. For example, Nike has made a commercial about obesity. Advertisements have been a great support for charities since they have raised about $300,000 for various NGO's like: "its okay to say NO" and mothers against drunk driving. Advertisement turns into a form of educational messages to educate people out their strong facts that can keep them safe and the economy safe.
Advertising's good.
Advertisement powers the economy because it's the lifeblood of the media and it stimulates competition.
Advertising in Canada is a very diverse subject that provides consumers with information about a distinct product giving people choices to make economic decisions. Advertising allows business for companies and employment for people. Unfortunately, too much advertisement for the economy can be negative for the economy. Too much advertisement loses the purpose of advertising being a good thing. Over advertising creates fierce competitions in the market industries, unnecessary spending and the promotion of harmful products and substances to the Canadian economy.
Advertisements are all around us, on the clothes we wear, the movies we watch, the music we hear - but is that really such a bad thing. Many of the thing that come free to us in our daily lives are free
of the advertisements. Although there is no definite answer to how many advertisements we are exposed to daily. An average person is probably exposed to more than 1000 various ads per day. Which only furthermore proves that advertisements have an impact on consumers and in return to our economy. However the question is whether the impact is good or bad. It's easy to prove that advertising is good, it's what makes our world move forward, it's what makes businesses successful, creates jobs and funds the media industry, How great is that?
« Get targeted on kids. Prepare your target. Mark them the soonest possible. Only kids learn well. The Tobacco and Soda Companies know that the soonest kids taste the more addict they will be. The neuroscience taught them the ideal ages for easy learning ». Patrick Georges, Michel Badoc, "book on the neuromarketing", 2010.
How does advertising affect children and how will it impact their future decisions?
What is the relation between advertisements and the economy?

Bo Bartlett, Heartland
"Bo Bartlett is an American realist with a modernist vision. His paintings are well within the tradition of American realism as defined by artists such as Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth. Like these artists, Bartlett looks at America's heart—its land and its people—and describes the beauty he finds in everyday life. His paintings celebrate the underlying epic nature of the commonplace and the personal significance of the extraordinary.
"Bartlett was educated at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where realist principles must be grasped before modernist ventures are encouraged. He pushes the boundaries of the realist tradition with his multilayered imagery. Life, death, passage, memory, and confrontation coexist easily in his world. Family and friends are the cast of characters that appear in his dreamlike narrative works. Although the scenes are set around his childhood home in Georgia, his island summer home in Maine, his home in Pennsylvania or the surroundings of his studio and residence in Washington state, they represent a deeper, mythical concept of the archetypal, universal home."
– Tom Butler, excerpt from the book Bo Bartlett, Heartland

Security experts at Tripwire have commented on the Syrian Electronic Army attack on the US President's webpage. According to security researcher Ken Westin, "Although the SEA may not have compromised an official government site associated with the President, the PR damage of gaining control of his fund raising website may have a similar propaganda effect. We don't know what data the SEA has access to as a result of the breach, in Blue State Digital's case study for the Obama campaign they state they had 13 million emails and helped gather 6.5 million donations totaling $500 million ...is this information now in the hands of SEA for possible spear-phishing attacks?
It appears that the SEA did not gain access to the main website itself, but a third party service that his campaign uses for managing donations to his campaign.
Blue State Digital's website is now showing a blank page and it appears their website is down, so odds are that the entire system has been compromised, meaning it could be more than just the President's donation website that has been compromised."
Tim Erlin, director of IT risk and strategy at Tripwire continued, "The headline says 'Obama's hacked', but it wasn't Obama per se -- this fact alone demonstrates the importance of business partners' information security.
It's doubtful that anyone on Obama's team considered whether using their own URL shortener represented an increased threat over a more standard implementation, but perhaps they should have considered this. After all, URL shortener hacks have happened before.
Any attack like this demonstrates the value of a solid threat model for all points of content production that's outsourced. It's clear that attackers understand that business partners often represent the weakest link in security.
URL shortening represents a underrated threat vector in social media. Even when a click can mean compromise, we routinely trust obfuscated links through Twitter and Facebook."

Voyeur : December 2010
DECEMBER 095 summer reading DI MORRISSEY A SEASON IN BROOME It's always summer in Broome. In the monsoon season, while far-flung travel is restricted by flooded roads, watching the dramatic electrical stor ms and the play of light through the intermittent downpours is tr uly magic. You r un around between downpours of drops that seem as big as saucers. Broome is a place where time is fluid and the atmosphere is languid; where you can fall into adventures with new friends as easily as Alice did. I felt a bit like Alice in Wonderland that first season I was in Broome. It was a golden time, before Broome became an iconic tourist destination and few people knew just what a special place it is. I knew nobody, but as I drifted through the town I soon made friends. A woman setting up an art gallery invited me to travel into the desert country to meet the indigenous artists she was mentoring a nd promoting. Around the ashes of a camp fire in the shade of a sparse tree, amid the heat and dust, the fledgling artists painted. Some were elderly and had never held a brush, yet the urge to tell their stories in this new form blossomed. Soon a shed became a studio and this small community beca me another of the honey pots that lure sophisticated art dealers and enthusiasts. Another new friend and her family were pearling up the coast, so I was taken up the Dampier Peninsula to Cygnet Bay to watch the pearl har vest come in. We sat on the vera ndah of a shack, rolling the crea m of the crop in our hands as the setting sun cast dra matic colours over these shimmering pearls that would fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was a secret, secluded place. The calm, glistening aquamarine waters of the bay had sheltered the rows of oysters suspended below the surface. There they had hung for several years, each turned and scrubbed regularly, peacefully coating layer upon layer of nacre over the introduced 'seed' to produce a lustrous pea rl. One night we drove into the dunes, a moonscape with no roads and no la ndmarks. In the moonlight we climbed the highest dune, wading through the soft, warm sa nd to watch the sunrise pour molten colours over the white dunes. When I first went north to Cape Leveque, I stayed with an Aboriginal family, mud crabbing, fishing, cooking yams in the coals of the fire and hearing stories of their Kimberley backya rd. Later, when I was taken to see sacred art sites and learn a little of their law and lore, I was humbled by the complexity of Aboriginal culture. Back in Broome, I met a n old Japanese man who was sitting in the park, staring at Roebuck Bay, lost in his memories. He spoke to me, slowly, of his days as a diver on the old pearl luggers, about the da ngers of diving and the fear of the bends. He told me about the colourful cha racters of the town, from the pearling masters in their white suits with real gold buttons, to the top Japa nese divers who were kings in their own world. Later, as I walked through the quiet la neways of Chinatown a nd along the mangroves of Roebuck Bay, I felt those ghosts were close. What began as a sea son, a wandering through one summer, has become for me an inspiration, a passion and a fight. There are special, miraculous places on the planet that need to have a circle drawn a round them and be left as they've always been. The Kimberley is such a place. See it while you can. I felt a bit like Alice in Wonderland that first season I was in Broome. It was a golden time... I knew nobody, but as I drifted through the town I soon made friends.

Note: this page talks about this character in Super Smash Bros. Devastation.
Ridley makes his big debut! He comes as the new representative of the Metroid series (and the only one is the Smash series which isn't Samus). Ridley was born in Metroid, in 1986 so he's fought in the sixth level of the All-Star Mode.
Ridley is an unique character: while not being the heaviest (King K. Rool and Bowser are heavier) he is bigger than any other character. So big that he's known to be the giant character. He's big as 1.5 Bowser and his main strength is also his main flaw: his hitboxes (and hurtboxes) are enormous and he's an easy target to hit. Ridley can jump 3 times and glide.
- Weight: 10/10
- Speed: 6/10
- Jump: 7/10
- Throws: 5/10
Special Moves
- Standard: Flameballs. Ridley breaths some fire from the mouth. It can look like Fire Breath of Bowser but has some differences: this move has a lower range than the others but Ridley shoots the flames in an opener range. This move inflicts about 25% of damage if all hits are connected. Customization: Flame Breath/Explosive Flameball.
- Side: Ridley's Vortex. Ridley starts flying forward and attacks like Charizard's Dragon Rush in Smash 4. Customization: Ridley's Bomb Flight/Ridley's Blitz
- Up: Flight of Evil. Ridley jumps very high and then starts gliding. Customization: Rogue Flight/Mighty Wings.
- Down: Giant Fireball. Ridley spits some fire in the background of the stage. After 4 fireballs spitted in the background, a giant fireball will come in Ridley's mouth and he can spit it, inflicting 37% of damage and having a very good knockback (can KO Mario around 60% of damage). Customization: Direct Fireball/Long Charge Fireball
- Final Smash: Meta Ridley. Ridley transforms into Meta Ridley for 30 seconds. In this form, Ridley is invulnerable, takes no knockback, can fly freely and his attacks inflict x2.5 damage.
- Ability: gliding. Ridley's glide is probably the slowest in the game.
Technical Facts
- Air Dodge: Brawl
- Wavedash: yes
- Traction: low
- Taunt: open his wings and roars.
- Entrance: Meta Ridley descends and becomes Ridley.
- Weight value: 126.
- Ridley is one of the two characters in the game which can wavedash by gliding but not by air dodging, the other being Charizard.
- Initially, Dark Samus was hinted instead Ridley but later the former was removed and continues being an Assist Trophy.
Palette Swap
- Purple Monster (default)
- Green Ally (green team)
- Red Dragon (red team)
- Blue Mega Dragon (blue team)
- Black Evil
- White Hole
- Orange Salamander
- Space Pirate
