Let�s hope Randy Brooks� 1978 novelty Christmas song, �Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer,� remains fictional and doesn�t become a headline in ensuing days.
Let�s hope Randy Brooks� 1978 novelty Christmas song, �Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer,� remains fictional and doesn�t become a headline in ensuing days.
Judging by recent examples on area roadways, however, traversing our state�s roads has become a dangerous undertaking for men, women � yes, including grandmas.
One needs only to recollect the multi-car pile-up on N.C. 24 outside of Swansboro on the evening of Dec. 13 in which a motorist drove his un-illuminated vehicle back onto to the roadway after fixing a flat tire, only to be rear-ended by a truck, causing both vehicles to upend.
Fortunately, both drivers are alive to tell the tale and suffered less than life-threatening injuries. The driver of the car later was cited for unsafe movement by the North Carolina Highway Patrol.
Then, last Tuesday afternoon in Jacksonville as the evening rush hour was taking form, a spectacular seven-vehicle wreck occurred on Western Boulevard near the entrance to the mall, directly across from Onslow Memorial Hospital. A motorist driving a Ford Super Duty pickup truck allegedly ran a red light, beginning a series of collisions that resulted in the driver of a FedEx delivery truck being ejected from his vehicle, resulting in life-threatening head injuries.
The Fed Ex driver was first taken to nearby OMH and stabilized, then quickly airlifted to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville.
The driver of the pickup was cited by the Jacksonville Police Department for a red-light violation and reckless driving.
I witnessed the aftermath of that wreck, where several damaged cars and trucks were strewn about and Jacksonville police officers were measuring the accident scene.
What caught my attention was the image of a 2-foot-by-3-foot pool of blood in the intersection of Memorial Drive and Western Boulevard. That will haunt me for some time as it reflected emergency lights from the first responders� vehicles on a roadway.
How senseless it all seemed.
On the same day as the Western Boulevard wreck and five days after the four-car pile-up near Swansboro, Daily News reporter Christopher Thomas informed readers that North Carolina drivers were ranked as the seventh-worst drivers in the United States, according to a poll conducted by the website Car Insurance Comparison.
All drivers out there, including grandmas, should please take note.
I know I speak for many drivers when I say that there are some crazy, careless motorists on our roads.
On my daily 17.1 mile drive from Swansboro to the newspaper�s office on Bell Fork Road in Jacksonville, I see it all. I see the ubiquitous drivers on their cell phones, slumped in their seats with the mobile devices clinched in their hand against their ear.
I see women and men doing some last-minute grooming in the rear-view mirror, applying make-up or brushing their hair. I even saw someone brushing their teeth.
Folks, a car is not a phone booth or a make-up room. It is a one- to three-ton behemoth of steel, plastic and rubber, traveling between 35 mph and 65 mph. Its only chance of arriving at a destination depends entirely on its driver.
Cars and trucks don�t cause wrecks; people do. Very few places under the sun demonstrate a need to adhere to the Golden Rule more than on our roadways. If you show respect for your fellow driver and dedicate 100 percent of your attention to driving, your chances of becoming involved in a wreck can be significantly reduced.
During the clean-up of the Western Boulevard wreck, Jacksonville Police Department traffic supervisor Lt. Sean Magill told The Daily News: �When driving, make sure you have your head in the game.�
I believe most everyone would agree with that statement. Earlier this month, Albert J. Ellis airport Police Chief Hans Miller wrote a pithy and insightful post on his Facebook page. Miller feels there are �entirely too many casualties on the public highways.� Miller recommends that new drivers need to have basic fundamentals of the road reinforced. The chief tells new drivers to �stop speeding and jack rabbit starts, stop tailgating and turn your lights on at dusk to dawn, when it�s raining and when it�s foggy. Use your turn signals when changing lanes and before turning. Don�t �hog� the left lane. Stay right when not passing be a courteous and defensive driver, aggressive driving is unlawful.�
Miller concluded his piece by stating more traffic law enforcement is needed on our roads.
I agree with Magill and Miller, but would probably add that more stringent penalties should be available for drivers who continually are cited.
Have a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and don�t forget to drive carefully � not only during the holidays, but every day you�re behind the wheel operating a moving vehicle.

According to a survey from the Consumer Electronics Association on the wishes of consumers for this holiday season, gadgets beat out money, peace and happiness. While Linus would be disappointed with those results, we hope the following gift ideas will inspire you to spread a little peace and happiness.
Wi-Spy DBX Spectrum Analyzer
Company: MetaGeek
Price: $299 (900 MHz), $199 (2.4GHz), $599 (5GHz)
Description: Don't let RF interference cause holiday static. MetaGeek's Wi-Spy DBX spectrum analyzer is a thumb-drive-sized tool the company claims can identify RF interference in 900, 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. However, each band requires a different model, which ramps up the cost pretty fast, so you might want to put this purchase on your corporate wish list.
Company: Eurocom
Price: $5,200
Description: Don't let holiday travels deprive you of high-powered gaming. The 17-inch Eurocom Scorpius is one of the fastest gaming laptops around. Powered by the most recent Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition CPU, dual Nvidia GeForce GPUs, up to 32GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and up to three hard drives, it would take more than a few zombies to slow it down. It might also have some work use for designers, engineers and data crunchers. At12.9 pounds it's heftier than a tablet, and its $5,000-plus price tag means you'll have to have been very good this year to earn it.
Company: Power A
Price: $49.99
Description: For dedicated gamers, a fast smartphone is a mixed blessing. It can run fairly high-res games fast enough to be fun without tying them down to a console. On the other hand, smartphone controls are awkward. Clip your Android device into a Moga Mobile Gaming System game controller, however, and you have what feels like a console game controller with a built-in computer. Bluetooth lets the controller talk to the phone, it works with any Android OS, version 2.3 or later. The controller includes two analog sticks, shoulder triggers and four action buttons. Games have to be specially ported, which limits options to about 40 games, but that number is climbing, according to PowerA.
Company: Mophie
Price: $79.95
Description: Data-sucking accessories, too many apps, too much texting and too big and bright a screen will kill your tablet or smartphone almost as fast as dropping it in the sink. Mophie's Juice Pack Powerstation looks cool, doesn't weigh too much, doesn't cost too much and lets you recharge your iPad and iPhone simultaneously (also works with non-Apple products, but only if you promise not to tell anyone).
Company: Logitech
Price: $69.99
Description: It's hard to impress anyone with a mouse, but Logitech's Cube makes a good effort, and largely succeeds. It's small – three fingers wide and two deep. It works with any Bluetooth device, scrolls with a swipe of the finger and shifts easily into a handheld controller for PowerPoint presentations with a range of up to 85 feet. Downsides include buttons that can be hard to find and a touch-sensitive surface that makes it easy to scroll by accident.
Company: Kingston Technology
Price: Not announced
Description: If it's hard for a mouse to impress your favorite geek, how much harder would it be for a thumb drive? What if it's a thumb drive that boots your own customized Windows desktop when you plug it into someone else's PC? That would lighten the carry-on bag a bit. While there are plenty of bootable Linux USBs, there are precious few with Windows. Kingston Technology's DataTraveler Workspace carries Windows to Go, the ultra-portable addition to Windows 8. Kingston is one of three thumb drives to be certified for it. It comes in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB versions and USB 3.0 speeds, but still needs to boot on top of a machine running Windows 7 or Windows 8.
Company: BlueAnt
Price: $69
Description: It doesn't take too much bad audio, or interruptions from texts and other apps, to put your average commuter off the smartphone-based audio experience. Blue Ant's Ribbon tries to smooth over some of the rough spots with a set of earbuds and a controller that can clip anywhere and be used to pause tunes so they're not interrupted every time you use the phone for what it was meant for--Web browsing. It's not a remote mic replacement, so don't ditch that not-at-all-obnoxious-looking Bluetooth headset. It does let you listen to your Android or iOS device read texts or GPS updates, however.
Company: Samsung
Price: $230 (128GB) $449 (256GB) $849 (512 GB)
Description: Anything that can simultaneously boost the performance and battery life of a PC deserves its reputation as a miracle worker. Enter Samsung's 830 series of SSDs. The consumer version of the drive, the 840, automatically encrypts everything on the SSD when you create a password.
Company: Microsoft
Price: $499
Description: "High performance" and "tablet" don't go together yet, but Microsoft knew weak hardware could tank Windows 8 before it could make a dent in the tablet market. So Microsoft built a tablet with some zing. The Surface delivers lively performance, a solid feel and some nifty features, including a combo cover/keyboard, responsive touchscreen and host of apps to make learning the new interface seem worthwhile.
Company: Google
Price: $199 (16GB, WiFI) $249 (32GB, WiFi) $299 (32GB, WiFi, HSPA+, AT&T)
Description: You'd probably want the 32GB version ($249) rather than the basic unit, but the middle of Google's three sizes of Nexus matches up nicely with Apple's own competitor in the 7-inch weight class. With the latest version of Android, a quad-core Nvidia processor, WiFi, Bluetooth and a front-facing camera for video chat, the Nexus has higher resolution than the iPad Mini, comparable performance and a lower price. The unavoidable connections to Google's Play and other online businesses may be too close for some, however.
Company: Amazon
Price: $199 (16GB) $249 (32GB)
Description: Amazon shocked Apple (and probably itself) when consumers started buying and using an enhanced ebook just like a real tablet. Turns out an ebook with a browser, WiFi and decent performance running casual games equals a decent tablet. At $199 for the 16GB version and $249 for 32GB, however, the latest 7-inch version of Kindle Fire HD competes directly with Google's Nexus 7, with unfortunate results. There is an 8.9-inch version, but with prices starting at $499 for 32GB, it's not nearly the bargain its younger siblings were.

(FOX19) - Forty times Republicans have voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, better known as "Obamacare."
Forty times with no chance of getting the legislation through the democratically controlled Senate. Forty times with no chance of getting the President to repeal his own law.
Now they've got a new plan. Only this one could lead to a government shutdown.
Conservative lawmakers are now demanding that the ACA be defunded before they'll agree on a budget deal of any kind. Texas Republican Ted Cruz is spearheading the effort to defund the ACA and needs either 41 Republicans to stand with him in the Senate or 218 from the House.
Even he admits that the odds are against him.
"If conventional Washington rules apply, this fight is un-winnable. If the only forum in which arguments are going to be advanced is closed door meetings in the Senate and House, we will not have the votes," said Cruz.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus is far more optimistic. He says that when it comes to defunding the ACA there are supporters on both sides of the aisle.
"The fact is the Democrats have Senate seats that are up in very red states; South Dakota, Montana, and Arkansas. They don't want these exchanges to take place because they actually want to win their election, so my sense is delay or defund is on the table in a big way, even for Democrats."
Priebus may be right, but what he may not have, what Cruz may not have, is a majority of support from the American people: According to a recent survey by the non-partisan Kaiser Family Foundation, 57 percent of Americans are against defunding the ACA. In the survey the majority said they would rather see the law repealed than defunded... Something that's been tried forty times.

University of Rochester Trustee Ronald Rettner wants to ensure that the purpose and utility of River Campus buildings last for generations to come. With a particular focus on revitalizing the Eastman Quad's historic academic buildings and spaces, he has established the Ronald Rettner Campus Improvement Fund.
Beginning in summer 2014, the fund will initiate a multi-floor renovation of Morey Hall, which connects to Ronald Rettner Hall for Media Arts and Innovation. Most notable is a renovation of the hall's main lobby and corridor. Rettner has worked with University architects and designers to create a warm, open design that includes a new multifunctional space for events and meetings, and cosmetic updates will add comfort and vibrancy. Rettner emphasized that this project will protect the building's existing beauty, including preserving its terrazzo flooring and enhancing its woodwork.
"A project such as this is especially important because it helps preserve the historical foundation of our University," said President Joel Seligman. "I am deeply grateful to Ron for starting and supporting this fund. He understands there is great value in nurturing and transforming existing facilities so that they may benefit our University community for years to come."
"When I became a University trustee in 2012, the first thing I did was walk through all of the buildings on the Eastman Quad. I walked every floor, every room, every inch," said Rettner. "They are beautiful buildings with classic character and tremendous potential, but are functionally obsolete.
"My vision is to facilitate the transformation of the buildings, making them state-of-the-art. We can change the ambiance of these spaces, making them attractive, highly functional, bright and stimulating, and do it for a small fraction of the cost of a new building," said Rettner.
Rettner, president of Rettner Management and managing partner of Baron Associates in Yonkers, N.Y., is a passionate proponent and supporter of educational and community advancement and has worked with numerous organizations on redevelopment projects that have revitalized business districts and neighborhoods. Under his leadership as director, the Morris B. Rettner Foundation, Inc.an organization named in honor of his fatherhas funded scholarships, research, civic projects, and university facilities since 1975.
Rettner earned his undergraduate degree with honors at Washington University in St. Louis, and master's degrees in business administration and urban planning from Columbia University. By night, he attended Fordham Law School; by day, he worked as a securities analyst, co-founded the Vitamin Shoppes, and managed real estate.
Most recently, he provided the lead gift to build Ronald Rettner Hall for Media Arts and Innovation, providing students with a place to gain both practical skills and a theoretical understanding of digital technology. Opened in fall 2013, Rettner Hall is an 18,900-square-foot, three-story facility featuring an engineering fabrication lab where students can build prototypes, a multipurpose learning studio, group study areas and exhibit space, as well as sound and video recording studios, high-end computers, and 3-D printers.
Facilities are a priority of The Meliora Challenge: The Campaign for the University of Rochester and constitute $120 million of the Campaign's overall $1.2 billion goal.

2014 Chevrolet Camaro: New York Auto Show
What is it?
The Chevrolet Camaro is a sports car that offers four seats and coupe or soft top convertible bodystyles. The 2014 Chevrolet Camaro includes several updates over the current model. The biggest changes are up front. The 2014 Camaro has a shorter grille above the bumper and a larger air dam below for increased cooling. Optional Recaro seats are also newly available. For drivers who like to drive on a racetrack, the big news is the new Camaro Z/28. Powered by a 7.0-liter V8, the track-focused trim offers substantial weight savings -- air-conditioning is optional -- and major chassis and braking upgrades over the standard Camaro.
How much?
We don't expect a big increase over 2013 models, which start around $24,000. It's a different story for the Z/28, which will likely be priced above the $55,000 Camaro ZL1.
When can you get it?
While the 2014 Camaro goes on sale this summer, it may take the Z/28 a little longer to reach Chevrolet showrooms.
Add it to your shopping list because...
Already a competent performer, the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro's tweaks keep its bold styling up to date. Like the current model, the 2014 Camaro SS offers a 426-horsepower V8 engine. Considering the coupe starts at just over $33,000, the Camaro offers a lot of bang for your buck. For drivers who enjoy track time, the Z/28 is a good option thanks to its lightweight construction and major upgrades for racing. According to Chevrolet, it's quicker around racetracks than the ZL1 -- though the automaker won't yet provide specifics on horsepower or torque.
Other cars to consider:
Ford Mustang: The Mustang and Camaro share one of the oldest rivalries in the auto industry. Today's mustang starts under $23,000 and offers a choice between a 305-hp V6 and a 420-hp V8. There's also a 302 Boss model that offers 444 hp for around $43,000.
Hyundai Genesis: The Genesis may not offer V8 power, but it's still a great choice for shoppers who enjoy sorty driving. Two engines are offered: a 274-hp turbo 4-cylinder and a 348-hp V6. It also has sleek styling with new LED tail lights.
Infiniti G37 Coupe: Priced from $41,000, the G37 Coupe is more expensive than the Camaro. And with just 328 horsepower, it can't hang with the muscular Camaro SS. But the G37 touts an upscale brand name and luxury features that the Camaro can't match.
Used Chevrolet Corvette: With 400 horsepower and iconic styling, a lightly used Corvette is among the best sports car bargains available.
See all New York Auto Show news.
What do you think of the Chevy Camaro's new look? How about the track-ready Z/28? Share your thoughts below.

AMERICUS - The Georgia Southwestern men's basketball team committed 12 second half turnovers and was held to nine field goals over the final 20 minutes as Young Harris College rallied from a 15-point halftime deficit to hand the Hurricanes an 80-77 homecoming defeat.
GSW has lost two games in a row and falls to 16-5 overall and 8-4 in the Peach Belt Conference. Young Harris won its second straight and improves to 12-5 overall and 6-4 in the PBC.
Saturday's setback marks the fourth-straight game Southwestern has seen a double-digit lead in the second half erased. The first two times GSW rallied in the final moments to pull out a victory, but the last two times the collapse has led to gut-wrenching defeats.
Hurricane shooters warmed up quickly against Young Harris and finished with a strong first half, connecting on 57.1 percent (20 of 35) from the floor. Jamon Hawkins dished out five assists, more than the entire team could manage over the final 20 minutes. The Hurricanes took their largest lead of the afternoon at 49-34 when Hawkins hit a jumper as the first half ended.
The Mountain Lions wasted no time beginning their march back as they scored the first 14 points of the second period to pull within a point (49-48) with 15:54 remaining.
After Young Harris regained the lead at 52-51, the Hurricanes rattled off a 12-3 run to open up a 63-55 lead with 10:14 on the clock. The Mountain Lions fought back once again and tied the game at 68-68 on a Isaiah Johnson 3-pointer with just over five minutes remaining.
Young Harris made the most of back-to-back GSW turnovers to open its largest lead of the game at 74-69 with 2:33 to play.
The Hurricanes had one more run in them and took back the lead at 77-76 on an Alan Arnett layup with 75 seconds left. Sam Watson's layup on the ensuing YHC possession gave the Mountain Lions the lead for good.
GSW had a couple of opportunities to retake the lead or tie in the final minute, but a turnover, two missed free throws and a pair of missed 3-point attempts left the Hurricanes wondering what might have been.
Southwestern finished with seven steals, but only one came in the second half. On the other side, Young Harris collected nine of its 10 steals over the final 20 minutes. Both sides ended the game shooting over 50 percent from the floor. Rebounds were even at 33-33.
Arnett led the Hurricanes with 16 points and a game-high eight rebounds. Kevin Burnell hit 4 of 5 attempts from beyond the arc en route to his 12-point performance. Daryl Davis added 11 points and Johathan Brooks chipped in 10.
Kevin Altidor finished with 21 points and seven rebounds for YHC. Johnson added 16 points and C.J. Wilson scored 11.
The Hurricanes travel to Columbus State on Thursday for a 7:30 p.m. contest.

Welcome to my build of Tristana, The Megling Gunner.
First of all, this is not so much a guide, but more of a way I see Tristana to work best. Alot of builds for her are good, but this one is what I like the best.
Summoner Spells:
Exhaust for me is like a forge to a blacksmith. Exhaust should never be swapped with any other summoner spell, simply because it works in any situation; 1v1 fights, ganks, grp fights or even escaping enemies in a tough situation.
Ghost is for me a lovely skill to have at all times, but many people tend to disagree. I know that Tristana doesnt "need" it, because of her rocket jump, but having Ghost instead of any other skill showed to work for me many times.
It works at fast in/out kills in full lanes, ganks, catching up with people and escaping dangerous situations. All in all, a very versatile skill that combined with rocket jump and the Exhaust summoner spell, makes Tristana a nasty opponent in any situation.
Deadliness speaks for itself, the boost it gives in early and mid game is fantastic.
Cripple Adds up the armor penetration and reduced magic res that can turn the tide of a heated battle.
Sorcery is again self explanatory, since rocket jump and explode have a fairly long cooldown. Its not fun missing out on a kill if all you needed was ½ second more before a skill is ready.
Alacrity basic attack damage is the bread and butter of Tristanas damage, so attacking faster=more damage dealt.
Archaic Knowledge gives you a sweet boost in rocket jump, explode and buster shot in early game. Not much more to it than that...
Sunder armor penetration is a key factor in Tristanas damage, because of her main output being in basic attacks, armor penetration gives you that extra edge, even against the tanks.
Brute force is nothing special, but 1 damage is 1 damaga, add that to the buttload of cannonballs Tristana fires out of her cannon and its suddenly whole heap of bonus damage.
Lethality because of Tristanas ability to gain such a great critical strike chance its only smart to add that extra damage to these attacks, especially late game where you often need a serious damage output to knock down those nasty tanks.
Havoc, 5% nncrease of base and magic damage, speaks for itself and pays of nomatter how long you are in the match. A must have.
Haste is a decent boost given to your Ghost spell and can often mean the win of a battle, since alot of people are using ghost to escape from fights, you can now make sure that you can keep up and get ahead to make that kill shot.
Perseverence gives you a good boost in your regen and Tristana sure benefits from that mana regen, especially because her mana pool is quite small and there is nothing more sad, than when you cant get that kill, just because you need a bit more mana.
Awareness can mean the world to a good game. Tristana should be placed in a solo lane and with this mastery, you will get the edge on your opponents early on.
Meditation though its only 1 point, you still get a good bonus in your overall, much needed, mana regen.
Side note:
Haste versus Good Hands. If you find yourself dying alot, yeah sure, take a point in Good Hands, but other than that, there isnt much point in it. I tend to do as little dying as i can during my sessions.
3xGreater Quintessence of Desolation
9xGreater Mark of Desolation
Both adding armor penetration, which you just cant enough of.
9xGreater Glyph of Furor
9xGreater Seal of Furor
Both adding additional critical strike damage, which will help alot on your damage output thoughout the entire game.
Play through:
I start out with buying Vampiric Scepter to ensure that I can stay in lane for as long as possible. With decent last hitting you should have the money for Malady and Berserker's Greaves pretty fast, so either port back and buy them or stay untill you are forced to port.
A good idea is to buy a few mana potions aswell, so you can use your abilities for ganks without worrying about your mana pool.
A good way to keep going with kills is to either team up with a stunner or any other CC champion, or if you wanna go solo, keep a constant Lizard buff on you, this will make sure that noone can get away from you, while the take a serious punishment.
Keep making passes through woods, killing neutral monsters and getting buffs on your way to a gank. Get the money for your first Phantom Dancer and start collecting for Infinity Edge.
With a constant Lizard buff, your team should be raping the opposition and you should be top of the food chain.
Completing Infinity Edge and starting out on your Frozen Mallet should render you unstopable and able to dish out enormous damage over very little time.
If the game for some reason isnt done yet, get The Black Cleaver and start saving up for a 2nd Phantom Dancer. When you have the money for the Phantom Dancer, sell your boots and buy it.
"Placeholder" Items not edited yet, will come soon.

I've worked long and hard for over two years on my blog. I feel that I'm to the point of not giving away free advertising to companies anymore. Unfortunately, I'm always being bombarded by companies wanting me to host giveaways on my blog, which is great for my readers, but I'm tired of not getting anything for it. They (the companies) do have the expense of giving away a product, but I feel that they are still getting pretty much next to nothing advertising cost. I really dont want free products in exchange either-I want cash! lol.
When I do ask for compensation, they feel insulted or never contact me back. Then, I feel like I've cheated my readers out of a prize. I'm sure they are thinking that they can just find some other blog that will do it for free or for a product.
Do you have this issue as well? Would love any advice!
Views: 32
I don't think there is a problem with asking for compensation for a giveaway - only post. I do. It takes time to write the posts, it takes money to host the information... I do free review+giveaways, but charge for a giveaway only.
Lately I have been googling some of my posts and realizing that with just a few key words they show on the first or second page - I am sorry but this is a HUGE advertising for these companies.
We all need to stick together and realize what we are worth! A lot!
I do belong to a pay per post site, but the pay is usually low. I have put my foot down about just giving these companies free advertising. I just recently came across a company that not only didnt want to pay anything, but didn't even want to give a product! What nerve!
I just want to give them a piece of my mind that they think we are so stupid that we don't realize what they are trying to get away with. Oh well!
Until you put your foot down and put a price on your worth you will continue to have these requests for doing free stuff. I think it is really daunting at first to make the switch, as the free stuff is good for your readers, BUT you have to allow yourself to be worth more than that.
Make the decision. No more free stuff, unless you will get something really big in return in the way of exposure. If you can't get this then forget it. Once you make that decision and weed out the freebie lookers, then you will start bringing the money in. It may take time and you won't get as many offers, but it will come. You have to be firm in the value you place upon yourself. You deserve after all your hard work blogging.
For me, if the giveaway does not represent a certain value for my readers then I charge and administration fee, and a large one at that.

Question: Our church owns about 700 acres in the foothills of Northern California. We recently had someone shoot at a 6-point buck, wound it, and screech away off the property. We called the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), who sent out a tracker. They followed the trail of blood but never found the wounded animal.
Meanwhile, we have many deer that reside on our property and we are vegetarians. We do not shoot the deer and they wander freely on the property. You can walk within maybe 20 feet of even these majestic big bucks and they won't flee. We do not want people shooting the animals on our property.
The Fish and Wildlife person who came out told us it was legal for people to shoot the deer on our property unless we fenced it or posted signs (such as "POSTED NO HUNTING") all over the property. Is this really true? For one thing, it isn't even hunting season (with a firearm, which this was), and second, it's private property and we've not given written permission to anyone to hunt on our property.
We also don't want to post "NO TRESPASSING" signs because we welcome the public to visit our beautiful community with 85 homes and a number of businesses, including a school.
Can you help me understand what the law states, and what we must do to allow the public on our land but disallow hunting (and fishing) on our land? (Church Administrator)
Answer: Hunters do not need permission to hunt on private property unless the land is under cultivation, enclosed by a fence, or posted in accordance with Fish and Game Code, section 2016. This section requires that signs "forbidding trespass or hunting, or both are displayed at intervals not less than three to the mile along all exterior boundaries and at all roads and trails entering those lands," and "signs may be of any size and wording that will fairly advise persons about to enter…that the use of the land is so restricted."
If you would like to pursue trespassing charges (under Penal Code 602) against specific people who have entered the property for any reason, including without permission to fish or hunt, you can do so but the prosecutor generally wants the owner to state they will testify and also show that the suspect was already warned at least once.
Another law to be aware of is one that states "It is unlawful … to hunt or to discharge while hunting, any firearm or other deadly weapon within 150 yards of any occupied dwelling house, residence, or other building or any barn or other outbuilding used in conjunction therewith. The 150-yard area is a 'safety zone'." (FGC, section 3004).
You may need to take measures to discourage deer from becoming too comfortable on your property around humans because this makes them vulnerable to unscrupulous poachers. To do this, remove as many attractants as possible. If the deer are being fed, this is illegal (California Code of Regulations Title 14, sections 251.3 and 251.1). Also, by encouraging more deer to occupy your property than is normal, this may bring in some additional unwanted side elements (e.g. poachers, Lyme's disease and mountain lions).
Throw nets to capture live bait
Question: I know round nets can be used to catch live bait like anchovies and smelt from piers, but I am not sure if there is a size restriction for the circumference on the net. I couldn't find that info in the regs book. (Mike I.)
Answer: There is no size restriction on the circumference of a throw net used in ocean waters at this time. However, throw nets may only be used north of Point Conception (Santa Barbara Co.) and may only be used to take herring, Pacific staghorn sculpin, shiner surfperch, surf smelt, topsmelt, anchovies, shrimp and squid (CCR Title 14, section 28.80.)
Bringing mountain lions into California as "personal property"?
Question: A friend of mine told me that because mountain lions are not endangered or federally protected, that California cannot prevent a person who has taken one legally in another state from bringing it into the state as personal property. Is California blowing smoke? Thanks (Ken)
Answer: No, your friend is mistaken. Fish and Game Code section 4800, which was added to the code as an Initiative Measure (Prop. 117) in 1990, designates mountain lions as "specially protected" in California, and prohibits their possession or importation into the state. However, Fish and Game Code section 4800(b)(2) does allow for mountain lion possession if the owner can demonstrate the mountain lion was possessed prior to June 6, 1990.

Panda Internet Security 2010 differentiates itself from some of the other internet security suites by not including hard drive and performance tools.
However, there are still plenty of tools on offer, including firewall, identity theft protection, anti-spam, web content control, and even back-up features.
We found this suite installed the fastest of all the tools we have tested recently, installing in less than five minutes and setting up the anti-virus portion of the suite before offering to scan the memory and hard drive for any malware already pre-installed on the system. This rootkit worked efficiently and adds an extra layer of protection.
Simple to use
Panda's intention with this latest version of the software was to make it have as minimal an impact on the user as possible and the rather plain user-interface highlights this.
The layout is simple with all the controls outlined on the left-hand side. The main modules are listed under Protection, while Maintenance covers the basic back-up options. Along the top of the page are Scan, Report, Quarantine and Services information tags and, while the information it offers is basic, it's enough to know that your laptop is protected.
What we found most appealing about this suite was that it's designed very much for the user who wants to install it and then not have to worry about whether their system is secure or not – making this the ideal choice for the first-time user.
When it comes to scanning, Panda claims this latest version uses 80 per cent less memory than previous versions. This may well be the case, as we found leaving the software to scan in the background while we carried on working showed no visible lag in system performance.
With this in mind, anyone with a basic or ageing laptop will find this suite highly useful.
In many respects, Panda Internet Security 2010 is very much an update, as many of the core features are the same. However, it is such a highly accomplished suite that we find it difficult to resist, making it a worthy award winner.

Statewide Voter Registration System Update
Contact: AJ Freeney-Ruiz
Indianapolis, IN - More than five months after beating the January 1, 2006 deadline for implementing Indiana's first statewide voter registration system (SVRS), the Secretary of State's office continues its monthly update regarding the implementation of SVRS, powered by FirstTuesday , a software program developed by Quest Information Systems.
Following March's successful week-long mock election test of SVRS, Indiana's first statewide voter file was put through its first real-world Election Day run during the May 2, 2006 Primary Election. The system manages the voter roll for the entire state, and all 92 counties access it to perform a variety of tasks before, after, and during Election Day. Most county officials throughout the state experienced few issues using Indiana's first statewide voter registration system.
"The May 2 Primary marked the first successful election using Indiana's new statewide voter file," said Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita. "Leadership and teamwork paved the way toward the completion of this system - one of, if not the most, complex IT project in state history - and county feedback has been overwhelmingly positive concerning its performance in a real election."
With over 400,000 hits on Election Day, county officials throughout the state cited the system's Polling Place Locator as being a huge asset in reducing their local call volumes on Election Day. "It has been an awesome day for us. We have had no problems in Spencer County," said Circuit Court Clerk Ann Jochim in the closing hours of the election. "The Polling Place Locator has been a fabulous tool." Lawrence County Circuit Court Clerk Julie Chase echoed Jochim's remarks that day by saying, "This has been, believe it or not, one of the easiest Election Days!"
Boding well for the increased numbers expected in the General Election, the system registered approximately 4,500 voter searches per hour at its peak with the system's server only working at a fraction of its available capacity during the Primary Election. A Rapid Response Ground team deployed by the Office of the Secretary of State revealed only typical Election Day issues at midday and afternoon conference calls.
Identified as an improvement to be completed following the Primary Election, upgrades to the system will identify and correct any voter records that happened to be placed in the wrong precinct. The upgrade will include efforts to clean up local county maps by augmenting them with satellite images as well as other sources. Another enhancement will further improve precinct placement. Both of these efforts are scheduled for completion by the end of July. Additionally, speed and performance of the system will continue to improve throughout the summer, and a targeted list of modifications requested by county and state officials to make the system's interface more user-friendly will be made later this summer.

I I Burgdorf calls it quits at Al's — Page 3 f CO m _ cr o* c o 3 X 0* < X M c m - V. r- < n ■ a n Vmherst News-Times Juno 24. 1998 Amhorst. Ohio -. Safety ops <ids en iu adults Amherst's new Safety City got off to a roaring start June 16 as about 85 children took turns driving around the permanent $11,000 facility or learned how to cross a street and ride a school bus safely. No sooner did mayor John Higgins and police chief William Hall cut the ceremonial ribbon did the first group of students clammer into their little cars. There were no car accidents, just a lot of traffic jams and confusion about which side of the road to drive on. Had things been for real, there probably would have been a lot of driving left of center citations handed out. Overall, more than 170 children are enrolled in this year's Safety City program, which includes instruction in basic traffic safety, pedestrian safety and school bus safety. To make things easier, the children were'divided into three teams, red, green and yellow — the colors displayed on traffic lights. Patrolman Les Carrender, who oversees the program and the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program, was the only casualty. A young reckless driver on the red team ran over his foot as he was instructing a child on the green team how to safely cross a street. No citation was issued, just a stern warning. Carrender survived, but not without telling the driver, "you flunked.'' The first series of classes ended June 19. A second set of classes with about 80 or more children kicked off June 22 and will end Friday. Because of the program's growth in popularity, Carrender said he is considering dividing the program into three sessions next year rather than two. "It'll make it a lot easier because there's just too many (children) this year to give them the kind of time we'd like," he explained. "Smaller groups would help." The donations of time, money, talent and materials cut the originally estimated $25,000 cost of the facility in less than half. Volunteers spent several weeks building miniature buildings that look like those found throughout the city. Until this year, the program had been held at Powers Elementary School. The new facility is located immediately south of the police station on N. Lake Street. More than 60 area businesses, groups or individuals donated either time, money or materials for the facility's construction. CONTINUED on page 2 Holly Rushton, 5, of Vermilion, watches as Marie Osmond autographs her doll during a special doll signing session at Treasure's In the Attic attended by about 500 people. The signature will make her doll more valuable. Oh, what a doll! Marie delights crowd of collectors at Riddle's by QLEN MLLER Nsws-Tlmss reporter Marie Osmond is best known as a singer, TV personality and stage performer, not a doll designer or collector. But last Saturday, several Amherstonians were among about 500 people who stood in line at Treasures in the Attic on S. Main Street to get her autograph. Not on paper, but on the back of one of the many dolls that she has designed. People came from as far away as Cincinnati and parts of Indiana with their dolls, or to purchase the Marie Osmond dolls in the shop's stock. It is one of the five biggest sales outlets of her dolls in the country, according to owner Judy Riddle. Samples of the Osmond collection filled the downstairs window. To avoid an overflow and make things easier, Riddle handed out numbers, to patrons and called them upstairs as room permitted. More than 200 numbers had been handed out to customers by June 17. Another 300 managed to sneak in with those that had numbers, but by 4 pjn. the backs of the heads of every doll had been signed by Osmond. "This way,.the signature will stay on it no matter what parts get old or replaced over the year," she explained. "It makes it a keepsake — more valuable." She designs most of her own dolls and supervises the costuming , and painting of others. Those she creates herself have her own personal trademark, a small beauty mark next to their left eye just like Autograph seekers line the store as they await Marie Osmond's arrival.

Osmond, who is scheduled to co- host a new syndicated TV variety talk show with her brother Donny this fall, flew into Northern Ohio CONTINUED on pegs 3 Anderson lawsuit's in hands of judge by OLEN MILLER News-Times reporter Law director Alan Anderson and city council will have to wait six weeks to three months for a decision to be rendered in his lawsuit against council and the city administration. That's how long it will take the Ninth District Court of Appeals' three judges to review and make a decision on briefs and oral arguments presented during a June 18 appeals hearing. Mayor John Higgins, treasurer Kathleen Litkovitz, auditor Diane Eswine and several council members attended the hearing held in the Lorain County Administration Building last Thursday. The appeal seeks to overturn a Lorain County Common Pleas Court decision that ruled council can override the law director's authority to name a bond counsel. It took 15 minutes for the judges to receive briefs from Anderson and Thomas Muzilla, one of the city's attorneys, and hear arguments from Muzilla, before the hearing was dismissed. Anderson waived his right to present oral arguments. Instead, he presented the court with a 31 -page brief outlining his position and law supporting his claim that he, not city council, has the right to appoint a bond counsel. Muzilla presented more than a 100-page brief filled with documentation and exhibits supporting council and the city administration's position. He argued that the Ohio Supreme Court has held that a city council, not a law director, has the authority to retain legal counsel when the law director is ill, absent or unqualified to provide the needed legal services. His argument is based on the assertion that Anderson noted he had no bonding experience and selected the Cleveland law firm of Calfee, Halter and Griswold, to act as bond counsel. Council appointed. Squire, Sanders and Dempsey, another Cleveland law firm with bond expertise, thereby ignoring Anderson's recommendation and initiating his 1997 lawsuit, Anderson claims the county court erred in its ruling because Amherst is a statutory, not a chartered city. State law gives the law director of a statutory city appointing authority. Muzilla's brief claims the Ohio Revised Code and case law give a statutory city's council bonding authority. "This is especially true where the law director is unable or not qualified to perform the legal services," he wrote in his brief. Anderson has previously said he will appeal the case to the Ohio Supreme Court if (he appellate court upholds the common pleas court ruling Priest enjoys return to St. Joseph's start ^•ef 'vm Fathtr Anthony Kreps The Rev.

Tipping is generally expected of travellers while in Zambia. Where the restaurant hasn't already added a surcharge to the bill, add about 10%. It's also recommended that you tip your drivers, porters and rangers as the Zambians tend to earn a low wage.
You'll find internet cafes at major cities but there is little to no internet service outside these areas.
You'll have good coverage in big cities but service is unreliable in rural and remote areas. Remember to activate global roaming with your provider if you wish to use your mobile while traveling.
Zambia has Western-style toilets in restaurants, hotels and the like, but squat toilets in rural and remote places. Soap and toilet paper aren't always provided so you may like to carry some with you.

The Beaufort County Council approved a $1.1 million purchase of more than 80 acres along the New River for preservation on Monday after an attempt fell through in December.
The county believed it had reached a $785,000 agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which told officials that the county's Rural and Critical Land Preservation program was the preferred bidder because of its status as a conservation organization, but the FDIC instead sold what is known as the Garvey Hall tract to Atlanta firm Wooddall Holdings, said county attorney Josh Gruber.
"I think if you had asked anyone else at the time whether it was possible they could sell it to someone else, they would've said 'no," Gruber said. "If there were something in writing we would have looked into the possibility of legal action against the FDIC."
Wooddall closed on the land for $825,000 Jan. 24, according to county records. Wooddall mistakenly believed it won the bidding war in September, when the county first approached it about buying the land, but the FDIC set the record straight in November, Gruber said.
"(Wooddall) got screwed by the FDIC first, and we got screwed by the FDIC second," he said.
The Rural and Critical Land board first approved a $1.1-million price during talks with Wooddall in October, and the County Council Natural Resources committee blessed the plan the following month.
The land, situated on the Jasper County line along S.C. 46, expands the New River conservation area to about 500 acres and could one day serve as a park and nature trail, the county has suggested. While the deal in December included the full 87-acre tract, the new agreement leaves a five-acre chunk for Wooddall for uses that are "congruent" with the future recreational purposes of the area, Gruber said.
The county hopes to close by the end of the week, Gruber added.
The FDIC acted as receiver after the 2010 bankruptcy of First National Bank and claimed the property in a September 2012 auction for about $1.7 million, according to county records. An FDIC spokeswoman did not answer questions about the sale by deadline Tuesday.
The sole dissenter in the 10-1 Council vote was Rick Caporale, who first started challenging the debt-financed Rural and Critical Land program at the height of the recession and opposed a November referendum that effectively renewed the program with $25 million in bonds.
"Has it done some good? Yes, I suppose it has," he said. "But it all has to be done within the boundaries of what we can afford."
That referendum brought taxes from preservation debt to $19.48 per $100,000 of taxable value for owner-occupied homes. The county has the second-highest bond ratings from Standard and Poor's and Moody's available, and it added another $1.4 million toward reserves last year, bringing the fund balance to $22.3 million.
Newly inducted Bluffton-area Councilwoman Cynthia Bensch campaigned against the program but voted to authorize the purchase. She could not be reached for comment.

Justin Bieber Reveals 'Boyfriend' Single Art
Ta-da! Justin Bieber, last seen battered, bruised and bloodied on the cover of Complex, has shared another cover. This time, it's the artwork for the Walmart edition of his upcoming 'Boyfriend' single, which drops March 26.
It's a composite image of the two different shots that The Biebs shared last week when he asked fans to vote for which cover they preferred. The Biebs hearts his legion of Beliebers and values their opinion and their input on critical decisions such as this. They're also the ones who will tack this image up to their walls, so it's only right that they have a say.
The image of The Biebs running his hands through that famous crop of hair won, but the shot of him sans hands-in-hair is in the background, so Beliebers got the best of both worlds, as both images are factored into the final shot. He looks so cute pulling at his famous scalp, doesn't he? We're also feeling his casual look, with his semi-unbuttoned, checked shirt. As always, looking good, Bieber.
Some of the lyrics to 'Boyfriend' were revealed in the Complex feature and they go a little something like this: "Tell me what you like, dear / Tell me what you don't / I could be your Buzz Lightyear / Fly across the globe / You don't even need to fight, dear / You already know / I can make you shine bright / Like you're laying in the snow / Burr."
He tweeted about the selected cover, posting: so here it is…the cover of the Walmart #BOYFRIEND SINGLE COVER…made by U the fans! thank u! This is OUR ALBUM!
What do you guys think of the cover and the lyrics, PopCrush readers? Are you ready for 'Boyfriend' to land in all its glory one week from today? OMG, we can't handle the anticipation! Bring it, JB.

Car Video: Super Bowl Xlvii
Audi S6: Prom (Worth It)
The Prom Super Bowl ad from Audi shows off one of its latest high-performance sedans, the new S6. The S6 is based on the latest version of Audi's midsize A6 sedan, which was redesigned for 2012.
All-new for 2013, the S6 uses Audi's twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8. That engine produces 420 horsepower and scoots the sedan to from 0-60 mph in around 4 seconds. Much of the reason for its sports car-like acceleration is due to the S6's high-tech S tronic dual-clutch transmission. The 7-speed automated manual makes lightning-quick shifts.
The Prom Super Bowl ad also touches on a major S6 design trait: its LED lighting. That, coupled with larger alloy wheels, helps to distinguish the sedan from its more conservative A6 counterpart. Between the aggressive styling and powerful motor, the confidence-boosting S6 gives you the courage to walk up to the prom queen and give her a kiss.
Does Audi's ad make the new S6 seem worth it? Let us know in the comments below.

Frac'ing for natural gas being powered by it, too
Natural gas that's unlocked by hydraulic fracturing is now being used to power the process
Marc Levy, Associated Press January 20, 2013 2:58 PM
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Advances in hydraulic fracturing technology have powered the American natural gas boom. And now hydraulic fracturing could be increasingly powered by the very fuel it has been so successful in coaxing up from the depths.
Oil- and gas-field companies from Pennsylvania to Texas are experimenting with converting the huge diesel pump engines that propel millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals thousands of feet down well bores to break apart rock or tight sands and release the natural gas trapped inside.
It's the latest way for drillers to become consumers of the product that they are making broadly available in large amounts — and extremely cheap. Production has increased so much that natural gas has flooded the market, dragging down prices and forcing companies to pull back on their plans to expand drilling while looking for new ways to use gas.
After the conversion, the engines will run on cheaper natural gas, or a blend of diesel and natural gas. That brings down costs and, theoretically, cuts down the sooty exhaust that comes from burning diesel.
"You're going to see this spreading quite rapidly across the industry," said the president and CEO of Pennsylvania General Energy Co., based in tiny Warren, Pa. "As the technology evolves, you'll see more companies across the country doing more natural gas fueling of this equipment."
A number of increasingly cost-conscious oil- and gas-field companies are already using natural gas to run trucks and drilling rigs. But what makes the conversion of the hydraulic fracturing pump engines to natural gas particularly challenging is the sheer number of engines running at once, and the amount of horsepower necessary to power the pumps.
This is a sample. Read the full article here.

No Shade: 5 Reasons Why It's Smart For Eminem & Royce Da 5'9″ to Release Their EP Right Now
1. Eminem and Royce will have the freedom to do whatever they want to do on the project.
Back in the late-1990s, Eminem hadn't sold a gazillion copies and Nickle-Nine sounded like a guy destined to rock on Soundbombing albums for the rest of his career—but not much more. Fast-forward a decade and they both have established track records (although, admittedly, Slim Shady's is just a little more diesel, wouldn't you say?) so they'll have the opportunity to create the EP that they want to create. And as long as Em's name is on it, we're sure Interscope will be cool with the project, right?

Alvin Bailey Top 8
Per his twitter, a.Bailey™ @HawkStarAB
EDIT: In no particular order
Per his twitter, a.Bailey™ @HawkStarAB
EDIT: In no particular order
But I do see us near the top of that list and I will overreact accordingly.
Especially 'cause, like, UCF? I mean come on, now.
Don't forget that UCF was in our beloved Denard's top group as well...when I saw that he considered KState and UCF in that career video of his the other day, my opinion of those two universities skyrocketed.
Plus, Bailey is on record stating that distance from home will be a factor in his decision. Hence, UCF, FSU...
find often order important that I is.
No PSU?
Do we consider taking Treadwell AND Bailey. I've always heard that Treadwell's spot is secure. But what if Bailey commits before McQuay or another potential recruit pulls the trigger? Would Hoke take both? Bailey is a smaller guy and, given our other WR recruits, is of a different mold. Also, given the weak spot on the roster, I wouldn't be surprised if Hoke took both.
Agree... I think the lack of depth at WR relative to DBs, in combination with the talent of both Treadwell and Bailey, dictates that Hoke should take both... if the stars allign and that becomes a possibility.
A more intriguing question, given that Bailey and McQuay are teammates, whiat if we were faced with the choice of Bailey and McQuay as a package OR Treadwell?
Personally I think that the WR combo is better than if we get McQuay and one WR. We have some nice safety prospects committed/ enrolled. From what I have seen of recent 7 on 7 stuff and camps, Bailey just gets open and has very nice hands. Doesn't have a ton of explosiveness yet, but seems to track and catch the ball very easily. And from his highlight tape, he is very, very elusive with the ball in his hands. People like to compare the Borges offense to the Patriots, so shouldn't we have a welker-like guy? I think Bailey (plus a few pounds of course) could be of service.
I'll +1 that. With all the size we've been bringing in at WR there are going to be some openings underneath and a guy like Bailey would be perfect. Granted we already have Gallon and players like Justice Hayes and Norfleet could be used in that capacity but I am a big big fan of Bailey and I do have a soft spot for shifty slot receivers (just not when all your WR's fit that description, are you listening Rich Rod?). If I had to pick one or the other I would obviously take Treadwell but I'd rather have LT and Bailey than LT and Mcquay.
EDIT: Sorry about the grammar/mispellings. Took the day off today and haven't had my coffee yet.
I just don't see it happening with Bailey alone. He seriously wants to stay south and IMO only way he comes north is if joining McQuay.

Sheriff: Jail has become 'clearing house' for those with mental health issues
MARSHALL CO. — Inmates at the Marshall County Jail have some mental health problems —more so now than ever before according to Sheriff Tom Chamberlin.
"The jailers are dealing with more mental health issues than we have in the past," said Chamberlin while discussing his 2012 annual report recently. "Most of the jails in the state are being used as a clearing house for those with mental (issues) because we don't have the institutions we've had before and we have higher unemployment. We have these individuals who need (treatment) and it is not available to them, so they end up committing crimes and going to jail."
Chamberlin continued, "This is something that the jail is not really equipped for. It takes more time and causes stress for jailers to take care of mental health patients."
He noted that the jail works with the Bowen Center to provide treatment for inmates.
"(Bowen Center personnel) come in weekly and assess inmate requests and jailer requests for prisoners to be seen for mental health issues," said Chamberlin, adding, "Pretty much the treatment we give is prescription drugs…that is paid for by taxpayers."
"I don't know what the solution is," said Chamberlin. "Where do these people fit in? They end up in jails and prisons, but is that the place for them? Not to get treatment."
Also in the 2012 jail report, 409 people were arrested for operating while intoxicated compared to just 297 in 2011. Chamberlin said that he's noticed that more of those arrested in this category are under the influence of drugs rather than alcohol.
"Law enforcement is just doing a better job of locating identifying impairment," said Chamberlin. "The availability of training for officers has increased and our officers are more aware."
He said that officers are trained to notice drug impairment during field sobriety tests on the side of the road and will send individuals in to be tested at the hospital. A relatively new field sobriety test enables officers to check for individuals under the influence of marijuana.
Marijuana is the most common substance in operating while intoxicated arrests, said Chamberlin.
"Marijuana…is still more available (than other drugs)," said Chamberlin.
He said that another factor contributing to an increase in OWI arrests is Operation Pullover, which is done about every quarter.
"(During Operation Pullover) we come in contact more with offenders," said Chamberlin.

Microwave Oven Technology Turns Frozen Foods Into Gourmet
TrueCookPlus, a breakthough microware technology, does all the figuring for you.
Did you ever wonder why that scrumptious-looking frozen meal comes out of your microwave a sad, undercooked or burnt disappointment, why your popcorn leaves tooth-breaking kernels at the bottom of the bag or why you have to change the settings in the middle of the cooking cycle?
Wouldn't you rather use smart microwave technology that does all the calculations for you, ensuring the food cooks perfectly at the ideal temperature, tastes great and is safe?
Now thanks to Los Angeles-based Microwave Science JV LLC, there is an app for that. The first breakthough technology since the microwave's invention some 60 years ago, TrueCookPlus is a software operating system licensed by microwave oven manufacturers and brands.
What makes it unique is that it uses customized and rigorously tested numeric codes that combine multiple power levels during the cook time for each packaged food product entered into TrueCookPlus-enhanced microwaves. These codes are translated by the operating system software, which adjusts for all the variables that affect cooking time – be it location altitude, wattage, voltage, power levels, oven age and size or starting temperature.
The codes and software work in sync to create perfect, standardized and exact results every time, cooking each food product for proper temperature and flavor. In fact, it's the only microwave technology endorsed by the National Frozen and Refrigerated Foods Association.
Most important to both consumers and manufacturers, TrueCookPlus technology meets the safety guidelines set by the FDA and USDA for safe food preparation, eliminating risks associated with E. coli and salmonella.
The brainchild of engineer Steve Drucker, who has extensive restaurant and foodservice experience, and partners Bob and Steven Schaffel, the company holds four internally issued computer software/microwave cooking patents. TrueCookPlus makes microwave cooking as easy as pie (your frozen pie will turn out perfectly browned). Even children can fend for themselves in the kitchen. All you have to do is press the TrueCookPlus button on your microwave three times, key in your five-digit zip code so it can determine your altitude for proper cooking and press the start button. Find the TrueCookPlus number on the back of the food package, put the food in the microwave, key in the code for that specific product and press start again. You are done; the microwave does all the work.
"Consumers like the ease of use, the quality of food product and the improvement in taste," says CEO Bob Schaffel. "Food companies go to great extremes to make a great product, and I give them credit for that. For the first time, the microwave oven is delivering a system that gives consumers the quality of the food the food company intended they have. It's a great marriage.
"The microwave oven is living up to the expectations the food company promised by eliminating the guesswork for the consumer. Food companies can't control the microwave variables in every home, but we've given them an even playing field. Now they can say, 'Use the TrueCookPlus code and you'll have a perfect meal.'
"LG and Kenmore currently use the technology in their microwave ovens, which are available at Sears, Best Buy and K-Mart and have a retail price of $129 to $140. Short, numeric codes are created by TrueCookPlus for packaged microwavable food products and are printed on the package or are available at http://truecookplus.com/index.php?pg=codes. Food companies on board using the codes as guidelines on frozen food products include Pinnacle, General Mills, Diamond Foods, Schwan's and Heinz North America.
"It's like having a chef in your microwave," says Schaffel.
