Broward County commissioners Tuesday agreed with the idea of putting Broward Sheriff's Office deputies in schools beginning in October, but made no commitment to funding the $300,000 program.
Sheriff Nick Navarro told commissioners that placing six deputies in six middle schools in the county's unincorporated areas would encourage better relations between police and students.
"The concern is to bridge the gap that has existed between the youth of the community and the uniformed officers," Navarro said.
Navarro said he would pay one-third of the program's cost out of his budget. Commissioner Marcia Beach said the Broward School Board also should be asked to contribute.

text: Mumbai: Profit booking, combined with negative global cues and a weak rupee, subdued the Indian equity markets on Tuesday resulting in the key indices trading marginally in the red during the mid-afternoon session with heavy selling pressure witnessed in banking, consumer durables and capital goods stocks. The wider 51-scrip Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) edged lower by 25 points, or 0.30 per cent, at 8,213.50 points. The barometer 30-scrip sensitive index (Sensex) of the BSE, which opened at 26,907.42 points, traded at 26,798.09 points (at 1.45 p.m.) -- down 68.83 points or 0.26 per cent from the previous close at 26,866.92 points. The Sensex has so far touched a high of 26,925.64 points and a low of 26,754.60 points during the intra-day trade. The BSE market breadth was tilted in favour of the bears -- with 1,184 declines and 1,244 advances. Both the key Indian indices ended in the green on Monday, following economic reforms and higher global equity markets. The barometer index had surged by 241.01 points or 0.91 per cent, while the NSE Nifty had risen by 68.30 points or 0.84 per cent. Initially on Tuesday, the equity markets opened on a flat-to-positive note, in-sync with their Asian peers. The Asian markets gained on the back of increased chances of Britain staying on in the Eurozone. The island nation will go in for a referendum on this issue later this week. However, profit booking, consolidation and negative European markets dragged the key domestic indices lower. Further, investors were seen concerned about US Federal Reserve Chairperson Janet Yellen's testimony to the US Congress. The testimony can provide further cues towards the next phase of the key lending rate hikes. In its two-day policy meet last week, the US FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) decided to maintain its key lending rates. The US Fed signalled its intention to limit the times it might increase key lending rates due to weak domestic jobs market. A hike in the US interest rates can potentially lead FPIs (Foreign Portfolio Investors) away from emerging markets such as India. Besides, lower global crude oil prices and a weak rupee eroded investors' risk-taking appetite. "Profit booking and some consolidation was witnessed. Lower European markets, crude oil prices and a weak rupee too dented equity markets," Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit BNP Paribas Financial Services, told IANS. Dhruv Desai, Director and Chief Operating Officer of Tradebulls, banking and pharma stocks traded with sideways to bearish sentiments on profit booking. "Auto sector stocks witnessed some buying support," Desai said. According to Nitasha Shankar, Senior Vice President for Research with YES Securities, broader markets continued to witness active participation to outperform the headline indices. "Nifty index continues to oscillate in a trading range of 200 points from 8050-8250. Next trending move could be witnessed on a trade beyond this range on higher volumes," Shankar said.

I've always liked those SVT wheels and you make them look even better. Granted mine won't be lowered but with a 45 series tire it shouldn't look too bad. Do you happen to see the other style of that wheel on tire?
And what is your offse on those pro races? They look like they're poking like crazy!

Those SVT wheels do look great, what are the specs on them, width, offset, weight?
I have Konig Dial In, 15x9, 13lbs, roll formed, -1.5 rear, -2.5 front negative camber, rolled and pulled front, rolled rear fenders, the car is lower than it looks, the tires are not very tall, I might switch to the 245/50/15 RA1 DOT race tires instead of the 245/45/15 RA1 tires I have on right now.
4x100 bolt pattern change was one of the first mods I did so I could get cheap quality track wheels, roll formed which means very strong, for $126 per wheel! The 15x8 version is 12 lbs and around $119 or it might be $109 each. There are others available as well but some will not fit over my 11.75" BBK.
I can only lower the car around 1/4" more in the front or will go past the optimum for roll center, something I would never do on a car built to go around corners.

Carl Edwards to Remain at Roush Fenway Racing
After a flirtation that lasted months with Joe Gibbs Racing, Carl Edwards has decided to remain at Roush Fenway Racing beyond the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.
The team announced Thursday morning that it had re-signed the 31-year-old driver to a "multi-year agreement starting in 2012."
Financial terms of the agreement were not announced.
Edwards, who has won 19 Cup races with Roush and currently leads the series points standings, opted to remain with the organization he is comfortable with and the one that launched his NASCAR career.
"I sincerely appreciate the amazing opportunity that Jack Roush has given me in this sport and am honored to race for him," Edwards said. "As an organization, Roush Fenway provides the resources I need to win, and as a driver, that's the most important thing.
"We're having a fun season on the race track as we're leading the points and in great position for the Chase. That's the result of a lot of hard work from the men and women at Roush Fenway, Ford Motor Company and Roush Yates Engines. I really enjoy competing with this group and looking forward to continuing that relationship into the future."
Edwards, who began his career with Roush in 2003 in NASCAR's truck series, has spent the last several months under the microscope while considering whether to re-sign with Roush or leave for another team. He declined to discuss contract negotiations as they progressed, saying he preferred to keep the matter private.
In the end, he decided to sign a new long-term contract with Roush. He likely will have funding from current primary sponsor Aflac as well as another major sponsor.
"Carl Edwards has achieved a level of success on and off track that would put him at the top of the list for any race team," Roush Fenway Racing co-owner Jack Roush said. "Carl and the No. 99 team are having a terrific season again this year, and we're thrilled that our relationship will continue for many more.
"We saw great potential in Carl a decade ago, and it's been a thrill to watch him grow into one of the sports' premier drivers. We didn't take our past success for granted when we sat down with Carl to talk about his future. As an organization, we approach each week with an intense focus on being successful in the race to come. Carl's position atop the points is a testament to that diligence."
Edwards was considered the most coveted free agent this year. In addition to a third-place finish in the Cup standings in 2005 and a second-place finish in points in 2008, he has won a Nationwide Series title and has 59 victories across NASCAR's three national stock-car touring series.
Keeping Edwards in-house is huge for Roush Fenway, which has had three drivers – Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth and David Ragan – under contract for next year but only one sponsorship, with 3M aligned with Biffle.
Kenseth's sponsor, Crown Royal, announced recently that it wouldn't return next year. Ragan sponsor UPS has not said whether it would return next year but has indicated to Roush Fenway officials that it likely won't fund all 36 races as a primary sponsor.
Signing Edwards should help boost the team's profile with potential sponsors for Kenseth and Ragan.
"Carl brings a tremendous amount to the table from both a marketing and competitive standpoint," Roush Fenway president Steve Newmark said. "He has one of the largest fan bases in the sport, is able accomplish so much for his sponsors and is second to none on the race track. We're proud to have Carl as part of our roster going forward, a roster that includes some of the most experienced veteran champions on the circuit, and some of the sport's most promising up-and-coming drivers."
Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing, said Edwards' decision was "a vote of confidence" for both Roush Fenway and Ford.
"This signals he believes he is with the right team and the right automaker to win races and championships," Allison said. "Now we can continue to focus on winning the 2011 championship."

We made soap. It started as an idea for fun and frugal Christmas presents, but there's no going back for me, I'm hooked.
The recipe came from the internet, but the real lore came from my good friend Jen of Two Trees Soap who gave me a full, chaotic, hilarious day-long soap-making tutorial in exchange for some negligible housework which I still haven't delivered...yep, she's a generous girl! The tutorial was invaluable as Jen has been making soap her whole life. She proved that making soap is about as complicated as making cookies, and yet the product is beyond beautiful. Jen comes from a soapy family: sister Anna sells gorgeous soap online at Roots Soap Co. and brother Evagrius is making soap in this unlikely corner of Italy, apparently.
I used the essential oils I had on hand and botanicals from my kitchen: lavender and oatmeal, anise and ground cloves. I also made my first goof. Apparently clove essential oil melts your soap! However, I used such a tiny amount and mixed it with such panicky quickness that no harm was done.
My soap is a standard blend of coconut oil, tallow (rendered beef fat), and olive oil. I melted it together on the woodstove, then slowly drizzled a carefully-measured water and lye mixture while stirring. This second part happened at night as I didn't want my kids anywhere near the lye. But the boys helped me cut and mold the warm, fragrant soap by hand, a tactile pleasure indeed!
I have a feeling this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

SBVC Women's and Men's Track & Field will host the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference (PCAC) Track & Field Finals on April 23rd. The State Finals will take place on May 20th and 21st at San Diego Mesa College.
The complete Pacific Coast Conference Finals Time Schedule is located HERE
Freshman distance runner Michael Teran (Fontana Jurupa Hills) will be participating in two events, the 1500 meter run and possibly the 800 meter run. Teran is ranked #2 nationally in the 5000 meter run and earlier this week he received information that he was "auto qualified" for in the SoCal Finals at Antelope Valley College on May 14th. According to Track & Field head coach Mike Powell, Teran "is currently the only community college runner on the top ten list" in the 5K event.
Teran set the school record in the 5K on March 11th at the Occidental Distance Carnival Spring Break Classic where he led the way for SBVC, finishing 11th with a time of 14:23.90, which according to distance coach Jim Ratigan was enough to "assert himself as the fastest Wolverine ever over the 12.5 lap 5 kilometer distance (3.1 miles)." In addition, "Teran's time betters that of Gabriel Hernandez (14:35.2) from 1999."
Teran said of his approaching going into each contest, "my goal is to dominate, set up a time to hit that next gear at my choosing, picking my time to set the tempo and not my opponents." He also commented about his thoughts on running the 5K, "I have to get past that first mile by 4:30 and if I get through the second mile by 9:05 or less, I'm in a good spot to finish strong in the final stretch."
On Tuesday, Teran was named Honorable Mention Student Athlete of the Month for the Month of March by the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) & California Community College Sports Information Association (CCCSIA).
The Men's 1500 meter final will take place at 2:10 p.m. and the Men's 800 meter final will take place at 3:30 p.m.

The pigment is really strong in this Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Deliciously Shiny Lip Colour the shiny part of color wasn't a problem because I used it with my #Instamatte by Smashbox. I really liked the pink, I'm not a fan of red on me, so I didn't try that one. I enjoyed the formula. It went on well and didn't stain my lips, it left me with a nice long coverage and it transferred but not as much as some others I've tried. I would give it a try. Definitely if it came up on another trial I would!
You can't go wrong with Guerlain. I love this brand and everything it produces and these lippies are no exception. I have purchased several colors out of this line and they are so beautiful on the lips. They are so creamy and moisturizing on the lip and they give the lips this stain of color throughout the day. I use these for my natural or no makeup makeup days and they provide just the perfect splash of soft color and shine to the lips😍
Review for: 003 Red Heels more...
Tried free sample from sephora.com
Not a fan. This lipstick isn't opaque at all. The sheer semi-color may look good with a very very light color definitely not with a stand out color like red. But for the price I'd expect better coverage.
Also. This shade of red is slightly orangey, just off from a true red.

This looks so ugly on me and it just makes a sparkly glittery wad. Notcute first off. Second off this stuff wasn't cheap. Waste of money when U can just get lip gloss or lipstick WITH SPARKLES ALREADY IN IT
This product glides on smoothly and provides the right amount of shine and coverage. What I like is that is can easily be built up and does not come off as patchy. I love a "sheer" look during the daytime and build it up to a more full-coverage lip color for the nighttime. Oh, did I mention that it smells great as well?
Fantastic package luxurious presentation and great product. Price point $32 dollars. Helps enhance a lip liner. Is has a great moisturizer and is very smooth. I got it at Epcot in the France pavilion but you can also get it at Sephora or in a high end department store, try it, you would like the scent and the pigmentation too.
Review for: 013 Leather Blazer more...
One of my favorite lipsticks! Everything is beautiful, beautiful packaging, quality, aroma. Covering is light, one layer is light, if applied more, the color will be darker .
I love this lipstick. I would wear it everyday if I could, but I can't because it is so expensive. It's the best looking lipstick ever made, but the price ruins it for me. I can't spend that much on a lip product. I'll keep looking for a good dupe.
I own the dark purple color of this. It looks black but applies as purple. It's beautiful. Dosent taste baf at all. I do like the packing. The lipstick is quite sturdy. Hasn't melted which I tend to have a problem with. I plan to buy a few more colors when Nordstrom is restocked.
Very pretty! I love the scent and also the taste! It's hydrating and the strobing is Bomb is like highlight for the lips
The packaging is so pretty but is the product inside worth it?
Has anyone tried this product yet?
Wow such unique and awesome packaging! Has anyone tried these? Are they wearable for daily use?
What is the actual point of this
I would definitely like to see how this looks on. Is it very sheer when worn alone?

Right now I am in a place that was experiencing a horrible drought. It had been dry for so long. Then the rains came and I keep hearing about blessings. Where there was loose soil, there is grass a foot high. Trees that looked like sticks in the sky are full of leaves. Tanks that were dry are full, and reservoirs that were nearly empty are full to overflowing. The sky is blue; there is not an ever-present haze from dust in the air. As we drove on Saturday, one of the staff from this region, looking out the window, quietly said, "We are so blessed." On Sunday I visited a Game Park that is on top of the Marsabit mountain, which includes the water source for the town and a crater lake. Everywhere I looked, here were small butterflies in the thousands. They rarely stood still, but instead seemed as if they were dancing in a grand declaration of the blessing, the wonder of rain after drought.
This week it seems like the rains have stopped and everyone is holding their breath – will the rains come in April or will this year again skip the long rains? No one knows. So even as the people I am working with plan projects to help protect against future drought, we sit and marvel at today's blessing of water. It seems perfect that the rains were here before Thanksgiving and that the land speaks of blessing as we prepare for Christmas. As I long for signs of Christmas, I think I have found it here in the green desert.

1. First, pour the yogurt into a bowl. Then add the cream and vanilla. With a whisk, carefully stir until combined. It should be nice and thick.
2. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the yogurt mixture. Do not stir the mixture. Cover the bowl with foil or plastic wrap and tightly seal the edges. Place in the refrigerator for at least 20 to 30 minutes.
3. When you are ready to serve, place a small handful of berries (or other fruit) into a bowl or cup. Without stirring the mixture, spoon the yogurt over the berries. There will be creamy areas and brown sugar areas. Repeat the layers once, ending with berries on top.

The Tributo came with a mild steel Monza. This has since been replaced by the stainless steel Monza. The sound of the Tributo is very similar to the 180 Comp as they both run GT 1446 turbos hence the obvious turbo whistle. The 180 Comps run a Euro 6 ECU so that might have a small effect of the comparison. Effectively the noise is as a result of a free flowing exhaust on Euro Tjet engine.You have the 1.4 FIRE Turbo Multiair engine which is US spec. My understanding is that the US car has a free flowing exhaust as standard unlike the Euro model. Like the Euro engine the US version has it's own sound, much more sporty. We need the free flowing exhaust to make ours sound more raspy where as yours sound great out of the box.As a result of having a different engine and turbo it will never sound the same and the Tributo and as the Monza is designed for the Tjet it probably isn't worth fitting.

An obviously proud Food Production Minister Mr Vasant Bharath was pictured stooping amid a field of Mercedes onions inspecting with other officials, the results of the project. According to the report, 30,000 plants in three varieties were seeded in November last year, transplanted in December and matured 90 days later.
Mr Bharath said in the report that the media had not been told about the project. He said "We wanted to do it and make sure it could work and then bring you all here to show the fruits of our labour".
Mr Joe Pires, the Managing Director of Caribbean Chemicals stated that onions was one of the four crops – carrots, potatoes and peanuts being the others – that they wanted to focus on because of the enormous amount spent to import them. He added that a 100-acre farm could provide 20 per cent of the need for onions in Trinidad and his company was trying to acquire land in Chaguaramas for a commercial operation. Over the last five years, Port-of-Spain has imported around US$16M worth of onions.
According to Mr Bharath the only thing that had prevented onion farming in the past had been a lack of will. He disclosed that a similar pilot project had been tried with carrots but had come to naught because of disease and irrigation problems but a second attempt was already underway. The Ministry was also reviving the citrus industry and around 150,000 citrus plants are to be sown.
While exceedingly important, Minister Bharath's project is not nuclear science or revolutionary. All it required was a plan, the right soil and planters and it yielded onions.
And what of Guyana and the five-year Grow More Food campaign of the previous Jagdeo government? It flattered to deceive with the four Ps – plantain, peppers, pine and peanuts which later morphed into a broader effort. Today, with a different Minister of Agriculture in place and the previous one having been transferred to a new ministry one has to wonder whether there were any successes at all in this campaign and whether it has even marginally helped to ease the food import bill, boost exports and lift the fortunes of the legions of small farmers.
Very early in the life of the last Jagdeo administration it had been suggested that Minister Robert Persaud and his technical staff should concentrate on two areas: cutting the food import bill by focusing on four or so of the most imported items and determining the feasibility of their cultivation here and agglomerating small farmers into hubs oriented towards exports. In the case of the former, as in Trinidad, potatoes, onions and carrots were high on the import list. Instead of one or two importers monopolizing the trade and using up foreign exchange, local farmers would benefit from guaranteed markets and the money would remain in this economy.
Forget the luxury of the 20 uninterrupted years that agriculture ministries under the PPP/C have had to produce commercially viable crops of onions and potatoes to sate local needs and just focus on the period 2006-2011. It captured the confluence of the much-vaunted Jagdeo Initiative on Agriculture and the supposedly ambitious Grow More Food campaign. On the face of it, they would both have to be rated as comprehensive failures as there is yet no sign of a successful pilot project over the five-year period let alone a graduation to commercial cultivation. The simplicity of identifying the appropriate soil type, finding the right growers and creating a market pathway eluded the Ministry of Agriculture completely even as container after container of potatoes, onions and carrots flooded the market.
Minister Persaud's ministry was fond of trying to kerfuffle the public when questions were raised about the effectiveness of its food campaign. A path-breaking series by Stabroek News on the Grow More Food campaign however exposed the lack of knowledge of it among farmers in various parts of the country and the troubling but understandable malady that aged growers were finding it difficult to keep farms going and to attract younger workers.
The litmus test of the success of such a campaign would always be: Can the import bill be cut? Where are the onions and potatoes to substantiate this?
Rice and beans in Region Nine, butternut squash and zucchini in Region Four and turmeric and black pepper at NAREI won't slash the import bill. In this respect the campaign was a miserable failure and not a cheap one at that. How expensive it was is still a mystery. Given the concerted focus in the new Parliament on accountability and transparency, the expenditure on this particular programme and whether it offered value for money should be the subject of a special investigation by the Office of the Auditor General, the report of which for 2010 made no reference at all to the Grow More Food campaign, and the Economic Services Committee of Parliament. Minister Ramsammy should also mount a review of the campaign.
As poor as the results have been thus far, the Ministry of Agriculture must not lose sight of the need and opportunity for pushing ahead with the potatoes and onions programme. Given the involvement of Caribbean Chemicals in Trinidad, the company could well be asked to try to replicate its results here if it was afforded the right type of land and conditions.
It may well be that the Trinidad experiment may not survive the harsh realities of agriculture, climate change and cheap imports. However, onions ready for reaping is far, far ahead of where the local agriculture sector is at the moment and an effort has to be made again to settle once and for all whether onions and potatoes can be commercially grown here and exported to other parts, even Trinidad.

Have you ever wanted something but failed to act? Most have had this unpleasant experience. It's one of frustration, regret, and angst. Sometimes, the untold delay looms at the forefront of your mind. Sometimes it is more unconscious, revealed only be countless dreams of running late, getting nowhere, and arriving unprepared.
Ultimately, life is complicated and many people drift through it. We hope to realise some future ambition but instead live in a state of confusion and denial. So far, so mundane.
A Personal Story
I remember the moment I decided I was going to finally focus on writing fiction. I'd already written plenty of non-fiction, and I wanted to try my hand at a novel (obviously; rather than trying something sensible first – like short stories). Instead, I had a grandiose vision of writing a masterpiece. I'd been carrying around a novel idea, pun absolutely intended, for about ten years.
And, finally, now I was going to write it.
Except, I didn't. I procrastinated endlessly. I talked about writing, thought about writing, dreamt about writing, but rarely got anything significant on the page. I tried to 'work out the details' in my mind. Planning rather than doing. In reality, I just needed to write the bastard thing.
My frustrations grew each day. I succumbed to all of the distractions. Running errands or playing Football Manager or drinking endless cups of tea or going to the pub with friends or going to work to earn money – such a tawdry business – or sleeping or eating or exercising or watching Game of Thrones.
You get the idea.
Frustration and thinking are a toxic brew
As the frustration grew I found myself angry at all this wasted time. My thoughts became darker, self-critical and more chaotic. I'd go to bed tired, frustrated, and tense. I'd think and think and think, which, given that I'm a professional, experienced, and an excellent therapist – if you don't mind me saying – came as a shock to me.
But then, anyone can succumb to these human flaws. Something had to change. Both within and without. And then something happened.
The power of pain
One day, seemingly out of nowhere, I found myself in a ditch and nursing a broken heart. Completely bewildered. Completely bereft. It felt like the worst experience of my adult life – and I consider myself to be pretty tough. Still, I'd been a fool and paid the price. All I could feel was pain.[bctt tweet="Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one —BRUCE LEE"]
Character is found in our responses
Life is a series of problems. However, to me, the events that occur in our lives are not so important – it's our reaction to them. Do we bounce back or do we sink into despondency and dank despair? There is no shame in being knocked into the dust. But, after a period, you have to pick yourself up.
So that's what I did. At least, after an adequate period of getting drunk and crying into my beer, I picked myself up and took stock. Rebuilt myself. Refocused on the important things: sleep and exercise, hydration and nutrition, going out and having a laugh with friends. Combined, these elements created a platform for well-being. Like medicine.
Writing… lots of writing
Oh, and writing happened. Lots and lots of writing. I stopped the endless cycle of nibbling away at my dreams. Suddenly something seemed very clear: I'm either writing or I am not. Only one course of action will leave me going to bed happy. Clearly, I had to prioritise writing.
I set myself a target: 4000 words per day. High but achievable. I then made sure I wrote before doing anything else, barring exercise. No errands. No emails. No Game of Thrones. I had to overcome the procrastination habit, which – for me – involved meditating away the frustrations and fears. The writing flows when you're relaxed. Writing is a form of meditation in itself.
So what changed? Well, two things.
On confidence and fear
Firstly, my confidence in my writing was low. This came as a surprise – I'm normally over confident! However, I hadn't written anything significant for over two years, and I hadn't attempted fiction since childhood.
The lesson? Don't expect yourself to be confident before starting out. Allow confidence to build via action, reflection, and experience.
Secondly, I discovered that heartbreak is painful but not fatal. In fact, I found I could deal with it pretty well. Some long-held fears melted away: of failure. Of rejection. Of other people's opinions. Could they be worse than a broken heart? If I can deal with that I can deal with anything.
Behind most procrastination lies the fear of not being good enough. Well, no more. I intended to do what I'd set out to do. Write. And then write some more. I will write what only I can write, and it'll either be good enough or not.
Only time will tell.
The importance of taking risks
Success is a matter of risk. You have to look inside and be honest with yourself. Are you doing enough to make things happen? Are you too afraid? Do you have to make more time? Gather the resources you need? Recognise that any great undertaking, whatever it might be, will cost you in time and effort and uncertainty.
Be honest with yourself. Are you going to smash the hell out of it? Or are you going to take little dainty nibbles? The latter isn't going to work out too well in my opinion.[bctt tweet="You can't build a reputation on what you're going to do. —HENRY FORD"]
And it's about application. You're either writing or you're not. Getting on with things or not. Whatever you're trying to achieve in your life, create a measure of success and failure. A daily or weekly marker that you're either hitting or not. I don't always write 4000 words per day, but I aim to. That is good enough.
Whatever you want to achieve in life, my advice to you is this: look within. Appraise what you need. Be confident, and make a start. Your future self will thank you for it.

Does your annual Thanksgiving look like this?
The women are up at the crack of dawn basting turkeys, arranging plates, flatware, and glasses, going on last-minute grocery store runs, preparing side dishes, setting up a huge table, finding extra chairs, finalizing the menu, creating elaborate centerpieces, and scattering hand-cut leaves at each place setting.
And the men are sitting on the couch watching football.
I can't speak from personal experience, as my uncle wakes up at 4 a.m. every Thursday morning to start basting the turkey and declares, "This is the best turkey I've ever cooked!!" when he's done. But sometimes I wonder if he's the exception to the rule.
Is Thanksgiving more of a pain in the ass for the women than the men in your family? Here are some reasons why this holiday might be considered one for the girls, and why the men should get more involved.
It seems that the NFL schedules games on Thanksgiving Day so men can have an excuse to watch the games all freakin' day. This year, there are games on at 12:30, 4:15, and 8:20. With big-name teams like the New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys, and New York Jets playing, it'll be difficult to get a football-loving fanatic to stand up and help out in the kitchen.
But somehow, serving 20-some family members has to get done, and the women are usually the ones who take the reins. So they spend weeks beforehand getting ready, slave in the kitchen all day, and then have to clean up afterward as the men settle in for the late-night game. With so much focus being on food and decorating, it's the quintessential holiday for women.
The kitchen is, after all, the woman's domain, right? Wait a second, isn't this 2010? I hope that more families are starting to incorporate everyone into preparing and cleaning up the meal like mine. Besides, most kitchens have a TV nowadays or are part of a floorplan where you can watch the game while standing at the stove. You could argue that it's sad that it takes having a TV in the kitchen for men to help out during Thanksgiving, but hey, some women are probably equally interested in finding out which team is winning a particular game. I know, I know, women liking football is equally unheard of as men cooking at Thanksgiving.
And in this strange time period during which we live, it's considered cool, even sexy, for men to be fantastic cooks. Chefs and celebs like Tom Colicchio, Gordon Ramsay, Bobby Flay, Tyler Florence, Rocco DiSpirito take away any kind of notion that men don't belong in the kitchen. So that's even more of an excuse for them to cook up a dish or two this Thanksgiving.
Even with these reasons for men to help out, many kitchens and living rooms on Thursday may look like a flashback to the '50s. Women bloggers here at The Stir admit to taking over Thanksgiving duties even if they're nervous and/or terrible cooks. So let's help out all the bra burners of yore and get the men more involved in the Thanksgiving duties. Bring out the beer and wine, bond, chat, laugh, experiment, and the men may even have fun ... but only during the commercials, of course.
Does your Thanksgiving look like a scene from a '50s movie? Do men help out to prepare the meal?

text: IDK know why, but when I push a button on the remote I just get 3 flashing lights on the Apple tv with no other response to the input. I tried unpairing and pairing again via the settings menu (I used the remote function on my iphone). I also tried to pair it by holding menu/right for 6 secs. Has anyone had this problem? It was working fine about 2 hour ago. Suggestions appreciated. EDIT: Whoops. Got it. Had to hold menu/left. Weird. Mods delete.

November 18, 1999 – University of Louisville research project with Ford Motor for new truck technology for U.S. Army
WASHINGTON, D. C., November 18, 1999 – Kentucky has six million reasons to celebrate as the result of action by the U.S. Congress. Research at the University of Louisville will be accelerated for development of truck technologies with Ford Motor Company for potential use by the U.S. Department of Defense in tactical military trucks. The just enacted Defense Appropriations bill includes $6 million in fiscal year 2000 for the research effort. This supports the "Improved Materials and Powertrain Architectures for 21st Century Trucks" (IMPACT) program for the U. S. Army, aimed at developing lightweight, fuel efficient, corrosion resistant, low cost trucks for commercial and military use.
"The Commonwealth of Kentucky has a great deal to gain from the IMPACT initiative," said Senator Mitch McConnell, R-KY, a member of the Republican Congressional leadership and the Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. "Ford builds many of its larger pickup trucks in Louisville and the U.S. Army is a major user of military trucks on its large bases in the state." McConnell led Senate efforts for the research project.
Rep. Anne Northup, R-KY, who represents Louisville, championed the IMPACT project in the US. House of Representatives. The IMPACT program will focus on the use of high-strength steel, laser welded blanks and improved bonding to significantly reduce the weight of a Ford F-Series–the best selling truck in North America–for potential military application.
Ford has selected the University of Louisville to lead research on light truck architectures for the project. "IMPACT will directly benefit Louisville by promoting and increasing our truck research and manufacturing competencies," said John W. Shumaker, President of the University of Louisville.
We are pleased to partner with the University of Louisville on this important research effort," said Ford Kentucky Truck Plant Manager Frank Foley. "Quality and teamwork are our top priorities, whether we're talking about building trucks or building relationships with our employees, our union or community organizations."
Foley said Ford engineers will assist in the University research which eventually could provide a competitive advantage to the Kentucky Truck Plant if the US Army decides to purchase the next generation of fuel efficient trucks from Ford.
Andrew G. Sharkey, President and CEO of the American Iron and Steel Institute, said the steel industry is "encouraged by its efforts in developing new steel technologies and is pleased about partnering with well-known leaders in automotive design such as Ford and the University of Louisville."
Improved corrosion resistance will result in a longer service life with less maintenance, and tactical military trucks based on commercial vehicle platforms will yield significant cost savings compared to vehicles built for a single purpose.
After successful completion of the program's initial phase, Ford will consider extending the lightweight and mobility technologies to the F250 and F350 truck platforms, which are built at Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant.

Figures. Obama Rips GOP Candidates for Debate Complaints But Refused to Attend 2007 FOX News Debate
At a Monday fundraiser Barack Obama mocked Republican candidates for their complaints against liberal media bias at the last CNBC presidential debate.
Obama tore into Republican presidential candidates Monday night at a Democratic fundraising event in New York, saying their complaints about CNBC's debate moderation aren't an encouraging preview for their governing abilities.
Obama added, "Let me tell you, if you can't handle those guys, then I don't think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried about you."
Of course, this is the same man who refused to attend a debate on FOX News in 2007.
That's because FOX News was the only media outlet that was not buying the Hope and Change routine.
Color of Change reported:
ColorOfChange.org today praised presidential candidate Barack Obama for rejecting the proposed FOX / Congressional Black Caucus Institute debate – and urged Hillary Clinton and other presidential candidates to follow the lead of John Edwards, Obama, and the DNC in rejecting Fox.
Edwards announced last Friday evening he would attend a planned CBC/CNN debate, but not the CBC/FOX debate – Obama did the same today. "CNN seems to be a more appropriate host," an Obama campaign aide told ABC News. Last Thursday, the Democratic National Committee also www.FoxAttacks.com and have been viewed nearly 700,000 times combined.
ColorOfChange.org has been joined in recent days Black bloggers and Black media outlets in condemning the CBC Institute's embrace of Fox. Here is a compilation of what people have to say.

Remploy workers to strike on Monday (22 October) to coincide with public visit by disabilities minister, Esther McVey
Remploy workers are to take further strike action on Monday (22 October) amid rising concern that potential new owners of key factories plan to de-recognise the unions.
(Pictured: Remploy worker on strike, Glasgow. September 2012)
The action comes as unions have protested that managers have kept staff in the dark 'for months' over the future of one of the sites at the centre of a wave of industrial action.
Seven months after the announcement that Remploy's healthcare division planned to privatise its factory at Springburn, in Glasgow, unions say no decision has been taken on the future of the site.
An email to Remploy executives, seen by UnionNews, accuses managers of 'colluding' with one potential buyer for the company's healthcare factories in Glasgow and Chesterfield, 'to circumvent TUPE regulation so he can make higher profit at the expense of severely disabled employees.'
The email also says any attempt to de-recognise the trade unions 'will be resisted by all means at our disposal'.
For some months, unions have expressed concern that bidders for nine Remploy sites earmarked for sale had not given the Department for Work and Pensions any long-term guarantees that the pay, pensions or employment of staff would be protected by the new owners.
Union reps say a number of employees who already have mental health problems are finding the situation especially stressful.
Senior steward in the joint unions consortium, Phil Brannan, said: "The atmosphere is of anger more than anything. People are fizzing mad with the company.
"They just want to find out what's going on with the factory and their future."
Workers at four factories in Scotland – Cowdenbeath, Dundee, Leven and Springburn – have confirmed they will take strike action on Monday and will join a lobby of the Scottish Parliament when Disabilities Minister, Esther McVey, holds talks with Scottish government ministers and officials.
Her visit comes in the same week as two Remploy sites north of the border, in Aberdeen and Edinburgh, are scheduled to close.
It emerged yesterday the company had rejected a £120,000 bid to save the jobs of 14 disabled workers by allowing the Aberdeen site to operate as a social enterprise hub for the city.
