Whether you are considering the purchase of your first RV or your next RV, we are confident you will enjoy the following advantages of Prime Time Manufacturing:
Prime Time Manufacturing understands the critical elements of designing a winning recreational vehicle – floorplan, eye appeal, storage, and convenience. However, the true genius is in the details. Is every inch of storage space fully utilized? Is there adequate pantry space for both tall and short items? Where do you put your trash can? Does each feature maximize user comfort and convenience? Are the decors residential yet durable? We have spent years listening to customers talk about what they want in the "perfect" RV. Drawing on that feedback, countless hours are incorporated into dissecting every detail to fully maximize the enjoyment each of our models will provide. We are fanatical about design because we want to ensure that our RVs will EXCEED your expectations.
Prime Time Manufacturing chose to headquarter its operations in Wakarusa, Indiana, the center of northern Indiana's Amish community. This is an area where old world craftsmanship, traditional work ethics, and doing things the "right" way are still emphasized and valued. Our executive management team has over 100 years of manufacturing experience that allows Prime Time to engineer and build an RV that will withstand the test of time. Every unit we ship is put through a rigorous 65 point system inspection at our factory AND at your selling dealership to make sure your first camping adventure is memorable for all of the right reasons. Finally, we provide a comprehensive Emergency Roadside Assistance program for your additional safety, convenience, and peace of mind. For us, quality isn't just a slogan, it's our culture.
Prime Time Manufacturing is a division of Forest River, Inc, one of North America's largest producers of towable recreational products. Because of our tremendous corporate sales volume, we are able to leverage massive purchasing power to produce an RV with more features for the money than any other company in the industry. We also operate with extremely low overhead. You won't find Prime Time advertising in national trade magazines or traditional media sources – we rely on good old fashioned word of mouth advertising. Our dealers aren't rewarded with luxurious trips or outfitted with fancy wardrobes – they only get high quality, fast selling RVs that are priced lower than the competition. We understand that the purchase of your next RV is one of the most important decisions you will make and we are committed to giving you the best value for your hard earned dollar.

ACAPULCO, Mexico - A gang of armed, masked men are being sought by Mexican police after they burst into a rented home in the Mexican resort of Acapulco and raped six Spanish tourists.
Acapulco Mayor Luis Walton says the men held a group of 12 Spaniards at gunpoint, tied up the men with phone cords and bathing suit straps and then raped the women.
Walton said the attack took place on the outskirts of Acapulco on Monday.
Walton said police are searching for the attackers, but gave no details on their presumed identity.
He acknowledged the attack would affect the resort's image. Acapulco has already been battered by years of drug gang violence.

1:00 amInfinity Hall Live [#203H] Fountains of Wayne If you love serious, brooding, sonically experimental musical artists, then Fountains of Wayne is not the group for you. Full of bright guitars, wry lyrics and catchy hooks, the foursome manages to create upbeat songs that both reference classic melodic British pop while staying wholly modern, American and slightly adolescent. Many music critics have dubbed the band's sound as power pop, but frontman and vocalist Chris Collingwood has other ideas. "A lot of people say that what we play is power pop. I don't think so. I would just say it's rock and roll." The genesis of Fountains of Wayne began in 1986 when bassist Adam Schlesinger and guitarist Chris Collingwood met as students at Williams College in Massachusetts. Sharing a love for British pop, the two friends played music together, as well as with other bands until eventually going their separate ways after graduation. Schlesinger found success as a songwriter penning the title track to the Tom Hanks film That Thing You Do! and earning himself an Academy Award and Grammy nomination. Then in 1996, Collingwood and Schlesinger - joined by guitarist Jody Porter and drummer Brian Young - came together with their first self-titled LP, followed in 1999 with Utopia Parkway. Both records found modest college radio success, but it was nothing compared to the mainstream commercial success the group saw in 2003 with Welcome Interstate Managers. The album's single "Stacy's Mom" charted well on Billboard's Top 40, supported by a hit MTV music video featuring model Rachel Hunter as the title character. The group's loyal alternative rock fan base was joined by legions of new admirers discovering the group's impossibly upbeat style of pop perfection. Their set at Norfolk's Infinity Hall is bright and bouncy and features fifteen song selections from their career. The catchy "Radiation Vibe" from their debut LP proves to be a crowd favorite. With the group's college alma mater just 50 miles north of the concert venue, the audience gets swept up in the nostalgic ode to Williams College, "Valley Winter Song." Though Schlesinger cautioned the crowd at the beginning of the concert from calling out for their biggest hit, Fountains of Wayne does eventually give the people what they want with a rousing performance of "Stacy's Mom." duration 56:46 STEREO TVPG

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Syria's foreign minister is accusing the United States of double standards and says the decision by the Obama administration to provide aid to rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad is prolonging the conflict.
Walid al-Moallem says it's inconceivable that Washington allocates $60 million in assistance to Syrian opposition groups while it continues to "kill the Syrian people" through economic sanctions imposed against the country.
Al-Moallem spoke at a joint press conference in Tehran on Saturday with Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi.
The top Syrian diplomat warned against foreign interference, saying Syria's sovereignty is a "red line."
He added that the Syrian people will decide who their next president will be through elections scheduled for next year.

In the Christian religion, Easter ends with the Ascension of Jesus into Heaven after his crucifixion. But how did the bunny, candy and colorful eggs become associated with the holiday?
In the Christian religion, Easter ends with the Ascension of Jesus into Heaven after his crucifixion. But how did the bunny, candy and colorful eggs become associated with the holiday?
Each of the popular and beloved symbols marking this day has a unique story.
But no matter their origins, for many, Easter is a time for joy and for families to celebrate Christ's resurrection, in addition to welcoming spring and the spirit of renewal following the dead of winter.
Here are the meanings behind several Easter traditions, based on an Easter special by the History Channel:
These white lilies, which only bloom in the spring, are said to represent purity. The trumpet-shaped flower also symbolizes the blossoming of new life much like Jesus Christ's resurrection on the third day after he was crucified.
With an icing cross on top to signify the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, this sweet treat is a favorite during the season. Hot cross buns are spiced rolls made with currants or raisins and have long been a part of Good Friday feasts.
Perhaps the most popular indication of springtime, the butterfly and its life cycle take on a whole new meaning in regard to Easter. The first stage, the caterpillar, represents Jesus' life on Earth. The cocoon stage portrays the crucifixion and burial of Jesus. And the final stage, the butterfly, depicts Jesus' rising from the dead.
Easter eggs correlate to pagan traditions, but eggs have longtime been a sign for birth and new life. The yolk inside represents Christ's emergence from the tomb. The colorful Easter eggs got their origin from one hue — red — to represent Jesus' blood shed on the cross.
At Passover, a hard-boiled egg dipped in salt water symbolizes both new life and the Passover sacrifice offered at the Temple in Jerusalem.
The colorful, candy-filled Easter we all know and love wouldn't be the same without the Easter Bunny. And he isn't bad for coaxing the kids to behave for a little while, either. The Bunny's origins are not entirely known, though rabbits have long been associated with fertility because of their high procreation rate. The Bunny's arrival in the U.S. came in the 1700s, when German immigrants brought the hare called "Osterhase" with them.
The same way kids leave cookies for Santa Claus, they'd leave carrots for the Bunny — just in case he got tired from all that hopping the entire night.
This tradition actually has German roots. To persuade their children to behave, parents would say the "Osterhase" or Easter Bunny would come to lay his colored eggs. Kids would lay nests to entice the Bunny. When the tradition crossed over to the United States, those nests eventually gave way to baskets.
The first official White House egg roll took place under President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1878. There is no religious origin. However, the act has been said to represent a symbolic act for removing or rolling the stone that blocked the tomb in which Christ's body was kept.
Retail sales of candy during Easter come second only to Halloween. Chocolate eggs came about when candy manufacturers caught on to the popularity of the egg as an Easter tradition. Jelly beans became a popular Easter candy because of their egg-like shape, and the chocolate bunnies soon followed. After all, kids needed something to fill those baskets.

United Nations called malnourishment the "hidden hunger", it at least affects 1 trillon people in this world, and the last work about how much people die from malnourishment (ie from it or all the other shit that come along) shows that more or less 60 millions die each years from this. Other studies tell 20 millions, hard to quantify but it's in this order of magnitude.
Can you really call this "very little"?

@Don - I'll reply once I get home.
Human beings are known to be passive. If there is no force to push them to make lives better, they won't do it.
If the market is stripped off the control of food supply, we would be eating soylent now.

Really. The Yakuza aren't afraid of gun control laws. They're afraid that if they're too violent, that law enforcement will stop turning a blind eye to their open existence.

Places that are have dense population centers though large parts of the country tend to have better ability to enforce laws and gun restrictions.
Ever look at one of those NASA veiws of the Earth at night? Japan is brightly lit for most of the country. The United States? There are bright lights from teh East coast until around the middle of the country, than marginal number of lights until you get to California. There is a lot of rural land out there still. And given how spread out everything is out west, you will not get a fast responce time from the police in many cases. (Urban Sprawl is the way of things out West).
That and the military is not suppose to enforce laws within US borders via the Constitution. The Coast Guard is the closest to an exception, but that is just because they are suppose to patrol coastal waters and such.

BTW, where do you think those Mexican cartels got guns in the first place? Looking North of the US/Mexico border (notably Texas ) is self-explanatory.
The yakuza are still powerful because they are part of the Japanese culture and are involved a big lot into human/drug trafficking, gambling, and extortion. However, the recent legislation since 2009 and recent anti-yakuza laws are hammering down organized crime. Since then, it has become harder for the yakuza to maintain their activities. In other words, they are starting to be forced into the underground (like in the West) PLUS the yakuza can't carry guns considering the average jail time for being caught.

Now we don't do nothing to address famine and starvation around the world. We do give out substantial amounts of food aid. But people can't (and shouldn't!) live off charity forever. These people are perfectly capable of looking after themselves, most do want to improve their lives, but due to the circumstances they live (war, dictatorship etc.) they can't.
Here's the countries with the highest levels of malnourishment. What do all the countries at the top have in common? As I see it they're all war zones. The exception is Haiti, but it's like the buttmonkey of the universe. However we have given them a lot of aid(and yet things still don't seem to get better...).
EDIT: @KiraYamatoFan Farmers all over the world own guns, and there's good reason for it. They're more used to shoot foxes then to shoot intruders though.

So yes, Piers Morgan is a fucking moron.
The argument in favor of Feinsteins outlandish bill is not valid
The idea that it is okay to punish 100,000,000 people for the actions of only 140 people over the last 100 years is not only illogical it is insane. Banning paramilitary arms and equipment is not only unconstitutional in the United States, but it is also puerile given that less than 1% of 1% of all firearm related deaths are by either paramilitary weapons and/or standard capacity magazines (20 to 30 rounders).
There is no ranting against "gun control," there is logical and reasonable resistance to what is a useless and unconstitutional infringement on the rights of US citizens.
It is NOT the constitutional militia spoken of in Article 1, Section 8 of the US constitution, nor is it the militia of the 2nd amendment which was ratified in 1789. The National Guard wasn't created until 1903.
It is a reserve branch of the United States armed forces and is a "select militia" force. Meaning it is part of the regular armed forces and thus not the militia of the constitution.
Title 10 Section 311 of the USC clarifies the difference between the organized (select) and unorganized (constitutional) militia forces of the United States.
10 USC Sec. 311
01/03/2012 (112-90)
Subtitle A - General Military Law
Sec. 311. Militia: composition and classes
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied
males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section
313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a
declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States
and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the
National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are -
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard
and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of
the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the
Naval Militia.
(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 14; Pub. L. 85-861, Sec. 1(7),
Sept. 2, 1958, 72 Stat. 1439; Pub. L. 103-160, div. A, title V,
Sec. 524(a), Nov. 30, 1993, 107 Stat. 1656.)
The police in the United States have NO obligation to protect the citzenry as per Castle Rock vs. Gonzalez.
As for need, we don't have a "bill of needs" in the US, we have a "Bill of Rights."
The right to own military weaponry has been decided in the SCOTUS case of US vs. Miller:
The court also upheld the National Firearms Act in Miller because a double-barrel sawed-off Savage model hunting-shotgun was:
in the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a shotgun having a barrel of less that eighteen inches in length at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment or that is use could contribute to the common defense
Therefore, US v. Miller make four things clear:
1) The original meaning of militia had not changed in 159 years and it still meant every able bodied man between the ages of 17 and 45.
2) The Federal Constitution and Bill of Rights are the SUPREME LAW of the land and take precedence over State laws.
3) Weapons which are not of a military nature or useful to the common defense are not useful to the militia and thus not protected by the 2nd Amendment.
4) There IS a litmus test for determining what weapons are and are NOT protected by the 2nd Amendment, and that test is simple: the weapon must be of a military nature and useful by the militia to a) uphold the laws of the union (Constitution and Bill of Rights), b) put down insurrections, and c) repel invasions.
The Miller decision was twisted in 1994 to pass the assault weapon ban by using the exact same argument you're trying to use here about the "militia" being the National Guard. That argument was known as the "collective rights" model. That argument was destroyed by DC vs. Heller in 2008 when the SCOTUS ruled the following:
1. The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. Pp. 253.
(a) The Amendments prefatory clause announces a purpose, but does not limit or expand the scope of the second part, the operative clause. The operative clauses text and history demonstrate that it connotes an individual right to keep and bear arms. Pp. 222.
(b) The prefatory clause comports with the Courts interpretation
Therefore, the 2nd amendment is now officially an individual right, thus there is no longer a miltia requirement to own military firearms. I say military firearms because Scalia deferred to US. vs. Miller as the definition of what firearms are protected. He did that to protect the gun control laws that already exist, while at the same time blocking any new bans that would render the 2nd amendment null and void in violation of the constitution.
Now, can we get back to the News. I was rather enjoying reading about the food issue, etc. etc. before Sugetsu rubbed the Aladin's Lamp of gun control and summoned me hither.

What it boils down to is that if you're going to argue for restrictions, tighter regulations, or bans on firearms - you'd better have studied the subject and you'd better have your logical ducks in order. Arguing via emotionalism, anecdotes, incorrect information, or unsupported assertions doesn't really move the credibility meter much.
I want to solve the problem but doing stupid things (feel-good bullshit) that won't fix the problem and actually make situations more dangerous isn't solving it.

Thank you Vexx.
I have said it before, and I have written it to every state and federal rep and senator in my state, the NRA, and GOA, the same thing.
We need to make membership in the Civilian Marksmanship Program mandatory to buy/own miltia weaponry (semiauto paramilitary rifles). Congress has this power (that's what well-regulated meant in the 18th century) and only Theodore Roosevelt has ever tried to enforce it properly.
That was the whole point of the Militia Act of 1903. It was a compromise to get proper training in public schools so that students would learn to RESPECT firearms for the deadly tools that they are instead of what they have become due to the mass media. Essentially the mass media treats these weapons like they are some kind of phallic symbol of power and that needs to change.
Any of you here who have played Call of Duty know exactly what mission Adam Lanza was mimicing in that school: No Russian.

Meh, I don't care.
Alex Jones is a moron, but frankly I could give two shits about gun control. Everyone misses the point when discussing it. It's not about having guns or not. It's about addressing their casual use in murder and suicide. Guns are chosen over other weapons because they are effective. You can toss out a bunch of statistics, like "gun deaths are smaller than other deaths" or "gun death has declined compared to gun ownership" and other stuff, but at the end of the day, people died tragically.
I have yet to see any serious rolled up sleeves discussion about the root of the problem, which is the culture itself. Paranoia over government takeovers, stoking fears of communism, ignoring healthcare and budgets while demanding lists of mentally ill and armed guards....these are all, frankly speaking, scapegoats and retarded. I've seen more red herrings in a Clue ending.
Gun control gets suggested in the form of bans and regulation because no one, not the lobbies, not the media, the politicians, or even most average citizens, have the stones to take a serious look inward at how fucked up people who do fucked up things get fucked up in the first place. Address that, and gun control becomes a non-issue.
Until then, we argue over symptoms, and often petty ones at that. That's not much comfort to the dead, or the loved ones who weep on their graves.

Now, Solace is absolutely correct, the issue is our culture and nobody wants to address it.
I want to, but I'm in a very small minority on the issue of better mental health care for people, and an end to the wanton violence in the media.
However, weren't we supposed to be getting off this issue and back to the news at large (i.e. non-volatile subjects).

Oh perhaps you are talking about food being an abundant resource that can be exploited for capital gain? You are right on that one, food is a very profitable business that inspires industries to mass produce it. Where you think the idea of food for profit came from? McDonald's and Coca Cola!. They "revolutionized" the idea of food mass production. Then came Monsanto who started privatizing seeds world wide and developing genetically engineered crops that would only respond to Monsanto's pesticides while destroying the ecosystems they grow in. Lets not forget the fishing industry! many crazy people mumble: "We are over-fishing our seas and rivers to please the demands of the of the food industry" Baloney I say! The fishing industry is my savior after all it is putting caviar on my table. Yes you are right, the incentive for profit err I mean productivity is alive and well in the food industry.
Oh wait are you talking about food recipes? You mean that if there is no money to be made by growing food then we will all be eating plain white rice, beans and monkey balls? Yeah, you are right, people will cease to be creative in the way they cook their food, after all if there is no bling bling to be made why should we ever use my brain? Let's not also forget that our beloved grease hamburgers with Coca Cola and French fries would disappear too! can't let that happen.
I got good news for you, the food industry is actively seeking a way to privatize water. After all, all they are trying to do is to do is incentivize the distribution of fresh water to more arid areas of the world.
Viva la free market!

Monsanto is trying to corner the market on seeds, and food production.
That is NOT acceptable by any measure.
It's one thing to protect "mom-and-pop" farms, it is quite another to protect megacorporations that are only interested in their profit margins.
The European Union has banned GMOs due to a French study linking them to cancer.
You are correct Sugetsu that we could feed our populations just fine, if we could get the government to better support small farmers and get the monopolies out of the business of food entirely.
Also, I can vouch for the megacorp food industries (Specifically ConAgra) trying to corner water rights out here in Colorado. They have lobbied the state government to shut off water to private farmers.
Although, Monsanto is the biggest threat right now.

Can we talk about pantsuits for work? Love this trend but not sure how to pull i
We love an updated riff on the power suit! In terms of the silhouette, we like contrasting a looser, relaxed, boyfriend-style pant-roll the hem for extra points-with a shrunken, sharp, tailored jacket. That said, there are lots of variations on this look, so let's discuss three excellent options. Must-Try #1: Tux-Inspired Suit Whether it's neutral or in a popping print, a tux-inspired jacket with a contrasting collar is a chic choice. Instead of going for basic black trousers, try a pair of two-tone pants to make your outfit a little more modern. You don't have to go crazy; black and grey trousers would work, as would navy and black. Either way, style your pseudo-tux with a crisp blouse (something menswear-inspired works, so does a playful pattern) and either colour-block or cap-toe heels. Must-Try #2: Basics With A Twist If you love clean lines, classic pieces, or have a more traditional aesthetic, the minimalist suit is for you. The outfit should be pretty effortless: wear a simple blazer and slim, tailored pants with an easy t-shirt and a statement necklace. The t-shirt gives the look a hint of casual coolness, while the necklace keeps the suit from coming off as too stiff or formal. Accessorize with a top-handle bag and some killer multicolor pointy heels, and you will look perfectly polished-promise! Must-Try #3: Rock Goth Our final suggestion is to imagine what The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo's Lisbeth Salander would go for if she wore suits and loved fashion. Our hunch is it would have an Ann Demeulemeester toughness to it, which means a crisp black blazer or a very tailored jacket jacket paired with biker pants and razor-sharp stilettos. Add a little rock 'n' roll with a bat t-shirt or paneled lace top and a heavy metal bracelet, then finish the whole thing off with an elegant clutch. Whatever look you pick, we hope you find something that "suits" you! For even more styling tips, check out the Who What Wear Pinterest board that we've guest edited with all of our favourite things!

Recently, I saw a Carrot Cake Cookie recipe, and then a light bulb went off. I love carrot cake, and it's been a long time since I've made one. Could I make a Carrot Cake Whoopie Pie? Of course, I did an internet search, and I'm not the only one who thought of them. That didn't stop me, though. My mind was made up. I especially love carrot cake that has raisins and pineapple, and coconut.
Norpro Muffin Top Pan. These are perfect for baking muffins, if prefer to eat just the top of a muffin These also double as "Whoopie Pie" pans. You don't have to use this pan, and can use a parchment lined baking sheet-- or a Silpat mat.
I began to think...I had some leftover buttercream frosting, from the Coconut Cake Recipe that I recently made. I also had leftover toasted coconut. I have a few jars of my homemade pineapple jam, and that became the filling/frosting.

Frozen pizzas scattered on interstate after tractor-trailer crash
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KATV) — A tractor-trailer filled with frozen pizzas was involved in an accident around 1 p.m. Wednesday, impacting the Mabelvale Rd. overpass on Interstate 30 in Little Rock.
Authorities say no injuries were reported, but the westbound lanes and eastbound inside and middle lanes were closed as crews worked to clean-up the area. The eastbound outside lane remained open for traffic.
The Arkansas Department of Transportation says there was only superficial damage to the overpass, and it is still okay for travel.

Michael Korb explores the flirty, funny and sometimes frightening world of dating in Southwest Florida

Smell Dating – It's like speed dating, with more scents
"You smell great!" How many times have you heard that? Hopefully a lot. Most of the time, someone is commenting on your perfume or cologne or the fact that you failed to properly rinse the Herbal Essence from your hair. But it turns out that you have your own personal scent which comes from somewhere deep down inside that others either love or, you know, ask you to shower. And it turns out that this scent has a powerful effect on how others perceive and are attracted to you. Called pheromones, this scent is a primal marker that seems to drive attraction between the sexes based on subtle cues that alert you to a quality genetic match. Hot, right? Well, there is some evidence to suggest this is legitimate, and, because so many of us are desperate enough to breathe in a lungful...

Stop and Go
This won't come as a surprise to any of the women reading this, but guys have three speeds: Stop, Go and Neutral. Stop is when they have absolutely no interest in you and make it clear from the start. Go is when you've had three dates but he's already picked out the ring. Neutral is everything else. Men are in neutral 97 percent of the time. "'What are we doing?' That's a question I ask my boyfriend whenever I feel like fighting," says Angela, a 32-year-old teacher from Estero. "I'm serious.

Sharing Your Personal Data
How much information is too much information? When you are in the beginning stages of a relationship (say anywhere between date one and date 12) you are in a precarious position when it comes to doling out pertinent information that could conceivably have major repercussions on the relationship. For example, at what point should you tell the person you are now dating that you were arrested in college for protesting at the G8 Summit? Or that you once dated a famous television personality? Or the actual number of people you've, you know, ehem… When does someone need this information?

Only 1 in 5 Teens in the US Gets Tested for HIV
January 11, 2012
It's no secret that testing young people for HIV can be difficult. Between doctors not wanting to test their young patients, young people not wanting their parents to know that they are sexually active, and even young folks not wanting to acknowledge that they are at risk, teens are falling through the HIV testing gaps. And the Centers for Disease Control 2009 national Youth Risk Behavior Survey confirms as much.
By looking at data compiled from more than 7,500 sexually active teens across the U.S., researchers found that in 2009, about one in five of them had ever been tested for HIV. Researchers also found:
Medscape points out that the survey does not include data on sexual orientation, which is an important piece of information to have.
So what can be done?
In an editorial about this report, Lawrence D'Angelo, M.D., of the Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., calls the report's findings "disturbing" and wants HIV testing to be done universally at the age of 13 and to be repeated every year in all young people who are at risk until they are 18. From there, testing should be done every three years, he says.
D'Angelo's recommendations fall somewhat in line with the CDC's testing recommendations, but differ from the recent recommendations handed down by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) last November, calling for doctors to begin screening at-risk teens between the ages of 16 and 18, but only those who live in an area that has a 1 percent prevalence rate.
What do you think? Should sexually active teens be tested for HIV every year starting at 13?

Civic Theatre
105 West Main Street,
Pretty Prairie,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Opened in June 1936 and closed around 1955. It reopened in April 1981. The Civic Theatre still features its original wooden-backed seats. Programs are varied and include film and live stage performances. (The community of Pretty Prairie was featured in the 1952 film "Wait Till The Sun Shines, Nellie".)
The Civic Theatre was closed in 2013 due to damage from a storm.

Pretty Prairie Movie House Being Improved
(Page 14, The Hutchinson News-Herald, Monday, November 24, 1947)
Volunteer workers from the ranks of the Pretty Prairie Booster club have been giving the Civic Theater in Pretty Prairie a sloping floor and other improvements.
The old entrance to the theatre is being closed and a double door entrance is being constructed.
From the stage to the rear door the floors are being raised about two feet to give spectators in the rear a better view.

Civic Club May Close Pretty Prairie Theatre
Pretty Prairie â€" Unless there is better business the next four weeks, the Civic club will close the community theater.
J. R. Hosey, manager of the theater for the local club said one more trial is being made. "If this fails," he said, "we'll call it off and the Civic theater will close its doors."
The theater was started by a group of 15 Pretty Prairie citizens who put up the money as stockholders to start it. They didn't expect to make any profit. But they don't intend to take any more of a loss, Hosey said. "There are some business men in this town who have never been inside the theater." he declared. "We're getting fed up with that kind of cooperation."

Historic theater star of own show
By The Associated Press
PRETTY PRAIRIE â€" A 1930s vintage movie house will star in its own picture show.
The Civic Theater will be showcased in a segment of "Restore America," a TV production endorsed by famed home repairman Bob Vila. The theater recently has reopened and now features an annual spring schedule of old-time classic films.
The Civic Theater was selected for the show for its historic beginnings, the small-town locale and the restoration efforts of Darrell and Joyce Albright.
'Restore America' is a program about people with a passion for restoration," producer-director John Litschke said. "For some reason the series has developed a niche for small towns."
The weekly segment is broadcast at 9 p.m. Sundays on the Home and Garden network.

Big films on a small-town screen.
Laurel and Hardy, Our Gang big hits at Pretty Prairie theater
By Alan Montgomery
The Hutchinson News
PRETTY PRAIRIE – Some of the greatest motion pictures ever made are being shown in the Civic Theatre in downtown Pretty Prairie, thanks to the efforts of a local grocer with a dream.
Darrell Albright â€" who with his wife, Joyce, runs the D&J Grocery Store a few doors down from the beautifully restored theater â€" has been showing movies in Pretty Prairie for the past 18 years. Aided by local volunteers, the city council and local business sponsors, Albright saw that the theater's restoration began 18 years ago and they've been showing a "spring series" of movies there ever since.
Movie fare includes Laurel and Hardy comedy films and classics such as the 1959 epic "Ben Hur," starring Charlton Heston, or the 1948 comedy "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein."
Each movie is preceded by a showing of an Our Gang segment, such as "Hide and Shriek" or "Three Men in a Tub."
"It's just a nostalgia trip, the whole thing," said Albright, in a recent interview at the theater.
This year's spring series began March 18 with the Abbott and Costello Frankenstein movie. Upcoming attractions are: April 22, "Some Like It Hot," with Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemmon; April 29, "Ma and Pa Kettle at Home," with Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride; and May 6, "Gone With the Wind," the three-hour, 40-minute epic many say is the greatest film ever made.
The May 6 showing will end this year's spring series; the theater will show its next films in March 1995. In 1981, when the theater was reopened, its volunteer operators tried to have two series per year, but the town couldn't support it, said Patti Brace, Pretty Prairie's city clerk.
"They found out that in a small town there was just too much football and sports and other things, and there were just so many people to go around," she said. "And it's not air-conditioned. So that is why we have it in the spring. It's more comfortable."
Albright loves talking about the theater and its history. It opened in 1935, with the same 211 hardwood seats that remain in it today.
Darrell Albright sits in one of the hardwood seats in the Civic Theatre in downtown Pretty Prairie. With the help of volunteers, Pretty Prairie businesses and the town's city council, Albright has been showing classic films at the theater for the past 18 years.
"It closed in March 1955," he said. "Television got it, like it got most smalltown theaters."
Albright saw plenty of movies at the theater as a youth in Pretty Prairie, before moving away. After 20 years of work as a research technician for the Menninger Foundation in Topeka, he and his wife
moved back to Pretty Prairie to run the grocery store. Soon after that, Albright set about restoring the theater.
With fund-raisings, he gathered enough money to buy two 16mm movie projectors and mounted them up in the fireproofed, galvanized tin projection booth in the theater. He is able to rent major motion pictures that have been recorded on "special 16mm film that is comparable to high intensity 35mm film," he said. The theater even boasts of a 1940s-vintage canvas drop curtain that has advertisements from local sponsors of the era. Several of the companies sold coal, kerosene and oil â€" and could be reached by calling a two-digit phone number.
The theater also has a collection of antique glass slides, which were used in a special projector to show advertisements on the screen. The slides have been transferred to 35mm color slides and a few are shown to each audience, just for fun.
Since its reopening in 1981, the theater has always booked a generous amount of Our Gang films because one of the film series' stars was Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer, the lad with the little twist of black hair that stuck up from his head. Alfalfa, you see, once lived in the Pretty Prairie community. Appearing in 61 of the 221 Our Gang
comedies filmed between the years of 1922 and 1944, Switzer later in life met a Hutchinson girl, Dian Collingwood, who had moved to California with her mother after the death of her father. Three months after meeting on a blind date, they were married. Switzer continued his acting career for a few years, with marginal success,
then the couple moved to a farm north of Pretty Prairie. But Switzer
had even less aptitude for farming, so he returned alone to
Hollywood to try his hand again. He died in California in 1958, after being shot in an argument over a hunting dog, according to
local historians.
Needless to say, Albright said, the Our Gang comedies have a strong local following, along with the other major films. "We had 156 here last Friday night," he said. The theater is a non-profit corporation and people give donations, instead of admission, to attend the movies. Ethel Wingate, a 1934 graduate of Pretty Prairie High School, said she loves the theater and its movies. "We were there Friday and we saw the Little Rascals," she said.
Showtime is at 8 p.m. on Fridays. Albright said if he has overwhelming crowds at future films, he'll simply announce that the
movies will be shown twice that night to accommodate the fans.
Of course, that might be a tall order, if the feature film is "Gone
with the Wind," he said.
Nostalgia lives- Pretty Prairie's Civic Theatre shows classic movies
The Hutchinson News
PRETTY PRAIRIE – When Darrell Albright graduated from Pretty Prairie High at the age of 17, there were three things he was never going to do.
He was never going to move back to his hometown, he was never going to work with the public, and he was never going to live in the
Never say never.
Albright, 57, has done all three. Not only did Albright return and purchase a grocery store on Pretty Prairie's Main Street in 1980, but he reopened the long-vacant Civic Theatre a few doors down in April 1981. The Civic is a city-owned building and a project of the Pretty Prairie Heritage Society.
He and his wife, Joyce, and three children moved from Topeka to their rural home just south of Pretty Prairie to "get out of the big city."
Because of his family's efforts, patrons can recapture the golden age of movies on Friday and Saturday nights in February and March during the Civic Theatre's 1999 classic film series. More than 1,000 people come to the two-month series each year.
"I have a love affair with movies. I have a love affair with old theaters," said Albright, who works as facility manager at Pretty Prairie Sunset Retirement Community.
The Civic Theatre, housed in a narrow building that is 25 feet wide by 75 feet long, with a 20-foot deep stage, and is more than 100 years old, could well be the only one of its kind in Kansas showing old movies.
"It's a rare bird," Albright said. The Albrights have operated the theater with the help of their children, Mike, Amy and Stephanie.
"It was neat in the beginning when my dad opened it up," said Mike Albright, now 27. "It was something we helped Mom and Dad with each year. There were a lot of drawbacks to it. Once I moved away and
grew up a little bit, I realized what a neat thing he was doing and what an impact it has on Pretty Prairie."
The 211-seat theater features a stage adorned with a 1940s-vlntage canvas drop curtain with hand-painted advertisements, "It's one of the best faces Pretty Prairie can put on for the rest of state," said Roger McClure, president of the Pretty Prairie Heritage Society and a former mayor and council member. "We bring in a couple hundred
people every weekend from every part of the state. Those people come to town to have a good time and spend their money. The Civic Theatre features a hand-painted canvas curtain created In the 1940s. Some of them eat dinner at the only cafe left. I wish there were other things for people to do that come to town."
In the days before television, touring troupes gave stage plays at various theaters. Someone noted on the back of the curtain: "Good play – good audience, 1939," which gives a clue to the curtain's age.
Another entertainer scrawled: "Poor town. Give it back to the Indians!"
Every aspect of the historic theater delights Albright. "This is my lifelong rebellion," said an enthusiastic Albright, "I grew up in the
Mennonlte church. We didn't go to movies. Movies were wrong. Now I'm doing it."
The Civic Theatre in Pretty Prairie closed because of a storm that swept through the community in 2013, but plans are to reopen the theatre soon by cooperating with the school district and allowing local high school students a chance to learn entrepreneurial and business skills, said Darrell Albright, the theater director. He and his wife, Joyce, both in their 70s, will serve as advisers. The Civic Theatre needs a new roof and work done to stabilize the west wall.
The Civic originally opened in June 1936 but was closed by 1955. In 1981, the Albrights reopened the Civic with its original wood-backed seats and showed classic films such as Gary Cooper in "High Noon."
Albright grew up in a home that didn't allow dancing, playing cards or going to the movies. Running the Civic "answered a lifelong rebellion," he said. He's hopeful about passing his affection for the town's movie theater on to the next generation. "You never know what you will awaken in a kid as far as an interest in life," Albright said.

Royals squander lead, lose to Tigers 4-3 on opening day
DETROIT (AP) — Alex Gonzalez drove in the winning run in his Detroit debut, lining a single to left off Greg Holland in the ninth inning that gave the Tigers a 4-3 opening-day victory over the Kansas City Royals on Monday.
Acquired by Detroit following an injury to shortstop Jose Iglesias, Gonzalez made a costly error in Kansas City's three-run fourth but made up for that with a tying triple in the seventh. He then singled with men on first and third in the ninth.
Joe Nathan (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth in his first appearance for the Tigers.
Wade Davis (0-1) allowed a one-out walk to Alex Avila and a single to Nick Castellanos in the ninth. Holland couldn't escape the jam.

Pups pose and plunge for the cause at family-friendly festival
Mindy Nelson admires the spirit of the thousands of charity-minded fundraisers who cast their warm bodies into the frigid waters of the Bay for Special Olympics every January.
"I thought, wouldn't it be fun if dogs could do that?" says Nelson, fundraising and event coordinator for Anne Arundel County's own Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
But she preferred warmer weather for the dog day and family festival that evolved from her bright idea.
So on August 19, two- and four-legged plungers will leap into the South River at Camp Letts for the SPCA's inaugural Puppy Plunge.
To attract dog enthusiasts and more, the family-friendly festival includes live music from the Biondi Brothers, volleyball and canoeing, Lego craft tables and a moon bounce. Children under 10 and all dogs are free.
"It's going to be just old-fashioned fun, very relaxed and inexpensive," Nelson says. "Bring your lawn chairs."
For the plunge, pups have their pick of two beaches: Muscle Beach for bigger breeds and Petite Beach for smaller.
After the plunge, dogs and their people show off their teamwork in a disc dog demonstration.
Pups strut their physical stuff in the spotlight in two contests. The Bikini Contest spotlights impressive physiques. The Ugly Dog Contest celebrates individuality over conventional cuteness.
"We're looking for dogs that have a unique characteristic that inspires a second look," explains Nelson.
Beyond fun, Puppy Plunge is an occasion to showcase SPCA's contribution to all of Anne Arundel County.
"We serve all of the county, not just Annapolis," Nelson says. "As an independent not-for-profit organization, we need the community's support, too."
August 19 from noon-4pm at Camp Letts, Edgewater. $5: 410-268-4388 x142; www.aacspca.org.

Sorry for the long silence. This is mostly due to being incredibly busy at the day job. It is funny, but not ha-ha funny, that I've never been busier working projects to a successful conclusion and planning new production expansion, while in the distance I see what I believe is an incoming asteroid of negative mood, hissing towards earth, ready to blast a hole in the best layed plans I might have. Until then, though, I'll keep cashing that paycheck.
Then I ran across this story out of Tulsa and felt I had to comment on it:
Amazing. Here is a woman actually trying to do something for herself. She has tried to supplement her food supply by her own hard work. She has tried to improve and manage her health using plants she grows herself. She even educated herself on the local ordinances to make sure she was within code.
None of it mattered.
I have often suggested that you should acquire some high-quality gardening tools and plant a patch yourself. It is a great way to be productive and to add the occasional healthy fruit or vegetable to your table. In these sorts of rally periods, where those of us who are convinced we are headed off a cliff, these kinds of pursuits can help keep us grounded and hopefully make our households more resilient for an era when resiliency will trump the Cult of Efficiency. Who knows, you may get bit by the bug and go on to grow much of your household's food to help conserve cash, or maybe you'll go on to help coordinate a community garden when times get tough, building up ties among your neighbors, ties which could prove far more useful in a post-Crash world than a survival bunker and cases of 9mm ammo.
Always remember, the Bureaucracy, especially that small but very vicious segment of the the Code Enforcers and Home Owners Associations dotting this fair land, hates you. Period. If you are trying to do something creative, to become even a little more self-sufficient, to step outside the norm, they will come after you with hammer and tongs. If you wind up unlucky and in their cross-hairs, they will not hesitate to drive you to your death and, at the moment, there is little recourse. They will ignore their own codes, they will ignore the law, and they won't be sanctioned by local courts. There ain't no tyranny like local tyranny.
The current rules structure, zoning laws, and the people enforcing them are made for an age that died with Lehman Brothers. They want everyone to be shoe-horned into a suburban plot with flowers and a nicely mowed lawn. They want strip malls filled with service "industry" businesses, they want to shake down local contractors on the side, they want to extort money from buildings underway, turn property over to their crony capitalist friends so they can come along for the ride, and in general, they want it all to be like it was in 1995. They will roust the formerly middle class as they drop into poverty. they will enforce and stretch the interpretation of every ordinance they can to every inch they can get, to try and cram the world back in a box that has been blasted to pieces. They will not like anyone who tries to make things more resilient, especially when it happens from private effort.
Be aware of this. This too shall pass, but the Bureacracy will continue running their obsolete operating system for as long they can, and they won't care what or who they destroy along the way. Because it will all be turning around soon and it will be just like the 1990's...

Natural gas surged to a 15-month high inspired by a bullish supply report from the Energy Information Administration and surprisingly strong demand. While many attribute the surge in demand to all of the cold weather, just below the surface something much more significant is going on. In what could be the best long term play in all of the commodities markets, natural gas may be on track to create a major bottom. The reason is that because of the shale gas revolution and the low price of natural gas, demand is being created. Low prices at some point always cure low prices and with the abundance of natural gas, it's clear burning properties means natural gas time is here.
For weeks I have been documenting all of the demand growth opportunities in gas and am on record for a price prediction of $7.00 natural gas by 2015. Others are now coming out of the woodwork and jumping on the band wagon so the secret is getting out. The days to think about gas as a commodity that will forever be hopelessly oversupplied are over and it is now time to start building your position in the long end of the curve for a nice bull market run to the upside.
Even in the short end of the curve that natural gas bears have been beating as of late, the Energy Information Administration reported a very bullish natural gas report that showed working gas in storage was 1,938 Bcf as of Friday, March 8, 2013, according estimates. That showed a decline of 145 Bcf from the previous week. Yet stocks are now 440 Bcf less than last year at this time and now only 198 Bcf above the 5-year average of 1,740 Bcf.
Part of this has been record power generation and signs that the big power generators that switched from coal to gas may not switch back. Yesterday Bloomberg News reported that power producers including Duke Energy Corp., NRG Energy Corp., Southern Co. and Dynegy Inc. say they plan to run their gas-fired units this year at close to the top rates of 2012. Plants burned 24.96 billion cubic feet of gas a day last year, up 4.21 billion from a year earlier and a bigger gain than in the five previous years combined. Gas futures have rebounded 94% since trading at a 10-year low last April as utilities switched from coal and unusually hot weather spurred cooling demand. That contrasts with an Energy Information Administration projection that demand for gas will slide 7.5% this year.
The reason that these plants won't switch back is that the EPA has it in for coal. More coal plants will be retired and gas demand will rise as power generators take advantage of locking in these very low prices.
I have also documented the big companies that are moving to natural gas. Now Reuters reports on a company that is getting ready to feed our natural gas cars "ENN Group Co Ltd, one of China's largest private companies, is quietly rolling out plans to establish a network of natural gas fueling stations for trucks along U.S. highways. With plans to build 50 stations this year alone, ENN joins a small but formidable group of players -- including Clean Energy Fuels Corp and Royal Dutch Shell Plc -- in an aggressive push to develop an infrastructure for heavy-duty trucks fueled by cheap and abundant natural gas. Clean Energy is backed by T. Boone Pickens and Chesapeake Energy Corp.

The Sperry collaboration with Scott Sternberg from Band Of Outsiders continues for another season. The deck boots of last summer sparked a huge trend and this season, the boots are back in a black gingham and I don't know if it's me being taken aback by how nice the colourway is in contrast to the colour blocking they did on some of last seasons models, but are the nicest deck boots so far. The penny loafers are also back with an all suede upper, canvas lining and Sperry deck sole. They come either navy, or brown. My favorite piece in the collection is the emerald green deck shoes above. The upper is washed out rough nylon and suede, they have a canvas lining and three eyelets. They are the most beautiful shape, and although deck shoes might be going a bit stale this summer, with Sperry X Band of Outsiders, your feet will look as fresh as anything. All the styles mentioned are available to view in the gallery and are now being stocked by Colette.
I also found this A-Z of summer video using Band Of Outsiders clothes from the Spring 2009 collection, it's a short, charming motion graphics piece and was made after the creator did an internship with the company.

The last stop for the 2013 Lowrider magazine-sanctioned tour was held at the El Paso, Texas, County Coliseum. Retuning back to Texas allowed those within the lowrider movement to qualify one last time before the Grand Finale in Las Vegas. Since the first stop was in Odessa this past November, the circle of "Lowrider" Life was completed in the Lone Star State, thanks to show producers "Big Latin" Andy Herrera, along with head of operations, George Galindo, and company. One couldn't help but to be a bit sentimental as the sight of the beloved Aztec semi-truck rolled into town, signaling the beginning of this momentous occasion. In addition to that heralded truck, over 6,000 lowrider fans joined the show in full force for a hip-hop old-school night of entertainment, featuring over 400 classic and custom lowriders displaying chrome and paint throughout the County Coliseum grounds. The stage was set and the crowd was not disappointed, thanks to an all star entertainment line-up for the event. Chingo Bling, Brownboy, EMoney, MC Magic, Carolyn Rodriquez, and Rodney O did what they do best: entertaining a lively crowd. That wasn't the end of the entertainment either, as the Ladies of Lowriding hit the stage—Lisette Melendez, Angel from The Cover Girls, Lil' Suzy, and Debbie Deb singing her hits, "When I Hear Music," and "Lookout Weekend." Hearing all of these ladies' hits certainly took us back to the freestyle days of yesteryear!
The Saturday Show featured a variety of classics and customs shining in the El Paso sun and under the lights inside the Coliseum. With over 200 awards given out in various classes, The Best of Show class winners were announced last, but certainly not least. The Best of Show Original Class had Gilbert, of The Oldies with his '50 Chevrolet, taking Third place. Martin Maldonado, from Oldies New Mexico, earned Second place with his rare '36 Chevrolet Convertible, and Jesse Holguin, from L.A., California, took home Top Honors in the Best Original of Show overall. Jesse traveled far to qualify his immaculate '58 Impala, which proudly flies a Southside Plaque. The Best of Show truck class had Victor, of Destiny, take Third place with his '67 C10. Mister's sleek '59 El Camino earned Second place, and Big V, from XPLICIT, took Top Honors with his radical '02 Dodge. The Best of Show Bomb Class showcased Javier Perez, of Old Memories, taking home Third place honors, while Rudy Rodriquez's '37 Chevy came in Second place, and Felipe of Slow 'n' Low CC took the First place trophy for Best Bomb of Show. The ever-popular Traditional Best of Show class showed strong with a beautiful '57 Bel Air from Imperials CC taking Third place. Gordo from Klique CC and his '62 bringing in Second place, and Able Zavala, of Imperials CC, won First place with his crisp and clean '64 Impala. The Best of Show car winners were Carlos Quezada's 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood claiming Third place, Melos's '61 Impala taking Second place, and Best of Show Top Honors going out to Nano Nevarez, with his golden glow '58 Impala from New Breed CC.
It was great to see the El Paso crowd truly enjoying the Bump 'n' Shine show, and the city's genuine hospitality. From start to finish, this show had an old school flavor, mixed in with hip-hop and freestyle action, centered on showcasing the entertainment, music, cars, and people involved with lowrider culture! To all the volunteers and staff who made this show happen, we thank you! Chuco was a great place to visit and its lowrider roots are long and strong. For those of you who might wonder why El Paso is called Chuco? Many say our lowrider roots come from the first Pachucos, but that history is for another LRM Feature.
