Partners in crime target metro area Menards stores
Howard and St. John hit 12 separate locations; stole more than $8,000 worth of tools
In just a week and a half, two partners in crime stole more than $8,000 worth of goods from 12 Menards stores in the metro area last summer.
The thefts took place between June 4 and June 14, 2013.
A Washington County judge convicted Lloyd Valerian Howard, 29, of a felony for the thefts, which amounted to $8,789 worth of merchandise. Howard will spend 15 months at the St. Cloud Correctional Facility and has been ordered to pay Menards $8,549 in restitution.
Howard and another suspect, identified in the criminal complaint as Phillip Charles St. John, 35, started their shoplifting spree on June 4, 2013, at the Menards stores in Golden Valley and Coon Rapids. At each store, more than $1,100 worth of items were stolen. Both times the men made their getaway in a gold minivan.
On June 6, the same pair was seen at the Apple Valley Menards, where they took about $1,200 worth of merchandise and left in a gold minivan.
According to police records, St. John was observed at the Richfield Menards June 7 attempting to steal two power drills, but left them at the checkout because a loss-prevention employee had been following him.
Police said St. John and an unidentified man were seen together stealing power tools at both the Maple Grove and Oakdale Menards stores June 10. The goods they pilfered were worth just over $1,300.
On June 11, Howard and St. John reportedly drove the gold minivan to the Golden Valley and Blaine Menards stores, where they once again took about $1,000 worth of power tools.
The pair was then spotted--this time leaving in a red four-door sedan--at the Cottage Grove and West St. Paul locations June 12. Court records stated Howard and St. John stole power tools worth about $1,000 from the Cottage Grove store, and Howard was seen taking about $269 worth of tools from the West St. Paul location.
On June 13, Howard showed up at the Maplewood Menards in the red vehicle and left with an additional $269 of merchandise, police said.
The next day, on June 14, St. John reportedly stole about $578 worth of power tools from the Forest Lake Menards store.
Police said he and Howard then made their way to the Burnsville Menards, where employees alerted authorities to their presence. Officers arrived in time to apprehend the two men.
Two women, ages 30 and 40, approached police when Howard and St. John were arrested and indicated they were with them. Officers were then able to identify the gold van as the vehicle in which all four individuals traveled between thefts.
The Oakdale Police Department brought felony theft charges against Howard in August 2013; St. John was named as a co-defendant in the case.
According to the Washington County attorney's office, St. John failed to appear at a Feb. 13 court hearing on the felony theft charges, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
According to court records, Howard has an extensive criminal record, including a DWI and six other theft convictions of varying degrees, ranging from misdemeanor to felony charges. This is Howard's third felony since 2011.

Friday grains continued their high volatility trade and finished sharply higher. March corn finished 18 cents higher, Jan soybeans 20 ½ cents higher, and March wheat 30 ½ cents higher.
The Stats Canada report showed an increase for both wheat and canola from what the market was expecting. This was slightly bearish but was overshadowed with outside market strength. Crude oil was hitting new highs for the move today, the US dollar was sharply lower, and March cotton was once again limit-up.
The funds were heavy buyers of corn, soybeans, and wheat. Australia's wheat quality concerns continue to make the wheat market the upside leader. There could be legitimate shortages of high quality wheat around the world. Since a lot of this will go to feed, the expectation is the US will have to make up for the shortfall. Minneapolis and Kansas City wheat will likely be the first to rally on quality concerns, and Chicago wheat will try to follow. This is also something that could keep corn tempered if more and more wheat continues to get fed.
Over the past 3 weeks our markets have been in a liquidation stage. On November 10th, 2010 we had a record combined volume day as well as a record combined open interest for corn, wheat, and soybeans (combined.) Since then volume has been average and open interest has been declining sharply. Also during this timeframe was a large change of ownership between the Index Funds, Large Specs, and Commercials. Establishing new long positions is a really healthy correction now that ownership is in new hands. We could see the liquidation phase extend out into the second week of December, but from the middle of December going into the middle of January we could see more buying interest as we get through the January reports.
If liquidation is done and more money starts pouring back in, it is going to be hard for this market to stay down given the fundamentals. The dryness concerns in Argentina, all the fundamentals that are still in place which took us to the original highs, and the acreage battle; the market has plenty of reasons to be optimistic.
Energy is another thing to watch out for. All the things are in the working for a 2008 style market except $100+ crude oil. Today crude oil made new highs for the move. This is the highest price front-month crude has seen since the liquidation phase in October 2008. This is obviously friendly corn.
As we have mentioned before, in December the markets are susceptible to volatile market swings as traders wrap up for the year. We have witnessed this over the first days of trading this month. December 10th will be the next USDA production report. This is the last major report before the end of the year. In January we will get an influx of data that should provide plenty of direction for the 2011 marketing year. Right now we are comfortable with the cash sales and hedges that we have in place. If you are looking to add additional protection, please don't hesitate to give your broker a call.
We are currently launching the newest addition of the AMMO Program. This program will allow producers to manage their complete farm operation including production costs, cash sales, hedge positions, and insurance coverage. All of the producer's information will then be used to compile a profitability matrix so that the farmer has a clear cut picture of where their farm stands. Please give us a call to learn more about the AMMO Program.

Thanks to Amazon's deal that effectively makes the game free (sold for $4.99 with $5 credit, technically a net profit of a penny) I'm giving it a spin again. I'll probably cancel after the first month, I was mostly interested in seeing how they changed the one area of the game I was familiar with, the human starting area.

Hi guys,
I have built a web interface to control my garage door remote via a GPIO pin on my Raspberry Pi 3 following instructions from this forum post. WebIOPi is a framework in Python that controls GPIO pins. On top of this is a javascript script and a CSS style fed into an HTML page.
Note I needed to patch the WebIOPi python script from here to make it compatible with the Pi 3.
This works great, but now I want to add a magnetic reed switch to the door so that I can tell if the door is already open or not.
I built a pull-down circuit for the magnetic reed switch copying this post.
This is the current hardware setup (except the blue JD-VCC to VCC jumper is removed):
I found a javascript from here that will read the GPIO pin and send raise it as an alert (pop-up box when the page is loaded/refreshed), and that works too, sending back '1' or a '0' depending on if the magnet is present. But I would prefer the notification just be a area on the screen that says 'open' or 'closed'.

OK, OK, Draft will probably be a godsend for people who actually need to sketch out ideas and share them in Campfire, but for jackasses like us, it'll just be a super fast way to see who can draw the most accurate penis. Unfortunately, the app is $13, so those will be some very expensive penises. [37 Signals]

7 takeaways from the Danville debate
DANVILLE, Ky. – The Thrille in the Ville is complete.
Vice President Joe Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan competed in a lively, messy, loud and largely inconclusive debate at Centre College last night. Ninety minutes later, little had changed to alter the trajectory of the race.
Story Continued Below
Below, POLITICO's seven takeaways:
It was a brawl
Candidate debates that take place seated at a table tend to reduce the potential for nastiness and engagement.
Not this time.
Biden got the memo about not duplicating President Obama's listless sleepwalk in Denver, and seems to have read it repeatedly. Aggressive from the get-go, he threw his hands in the air, guffawed as Ryan spoke, interrupted his rival and belittled him ("this guy," "my friend."). He flashed his teeth frequently and grinned incessantly.
( Also on POLITICO: Biden grabs the mic)
"That's a bunch of stuff," Biden chided Ryan as he talked about Iran potentially achieving nuclear weapon capability (he made clear he meant a different word that starts with "s."). He seemed to run out of steam in the final 20 minutes, but kept the performance up for the bulk of the debate.
Ryan returned punches not quite as hard as he got them – he is not the attack dog Biden is – but bit back by mocking the vice president's penchant for gaffes (he said that Biden knows as well as anyone that sometimes words don't come out right).
( Also on POLITICO: Vice presidential debate transcript)
It was fun for politics-lovers, but it's unclear how appealing the style of the Biden performance was to average voters who were watching. And in those exchanges, Ryan frequently did well by simply keeping calm.
And Biden's open disdain for Ryan was a far cry from the measured, older candidate schooling the newbie performance voters saw from Dick Cheney in 2004.
It all depends on Tuesday in New York
The main takeaway on the night was it was effectively a draw.
Democrats believe Biden won because he prosecuted his case better than Ryan, playing strongly to the base with a homespun narrative about his mom and his dad, working-class folks and people needing government help.
( PHOTOS: Scenes from the VP debate)
Republicans believe Biden looked unhinged on TV (a point some Democrats privately concede), appearing ready to lunge at Ryan at certain points – a concept they pushed on Twitter with a hashtag. To be sure, there were genuine moments of weirdness for Biden, but Republicans had set the bar pretty low for him on that front.
Ryan, who seemed to have memorized a number of briefing book lines, mostly held his own, including on foreign policy questions (more on that later). He made no gaffes, and while not dominant at any point, fared well enough for a vice presidential debate. The yawning age gap between them made Biden seem too old at points, and Ryan seem too young at others.
Neither man seemed entirely ready to be president – but Biden has the benefit of already being the second in command (he was also quicker on the draw, though that's a debatable skill for the Oval Office, and his constant laughing was a distraction).
Vice presidential debates can be interesting and can be launch pads for the people involved, but very rarely move the dial meaningfully. This one was no exception, especially with the next debate between Obama and Mitt Romney coming in less than a week.

GT Mfg, Inc. Exports Grain Dryers to 76 Countries on 6 Continents
After serving our country in Vietnam, Dennis Pedersen returned home to Kansas and started working for Gilmore and Tatge Manufacturing, Inc. (predecessor to GT Mfg. Inc.) as a press brake machine operator in 1971.
Now, 42 years later, he is the President and CEO of GT Mfg., Inc., a Kansas company with global reach. "We are known as the worldwide leader in manufacturing batch grain dryers", said Pedersen.
The accumulated knowledge that Pedersen gained while working in the fabrication, assembly, inventory control, shipping, purchasing and sales departments, helped him excel in both sales and management while steering the company through change of ownership and reorganization.
In the first four years of Dennis Pedersen's leadership as President, GT Mfg., Inc. grew its sales by 86% and expanded its exports to from 43 to 73 countries. From Afghanistan to Vietnam, the company has expanded its reach to 6 continents.
When the company needed more production space, it worked with the local government in 2011 to approve the demolition of an antiquated five-story brick building on its property that was used by the company decades earlier. In 2012, a new production facility was built to maximize the usable space on the property.
Before the new facility was built, Pedersen reached out to the Kansas Small Business Development Center (KSBDC) to help him plan for the increased production capacity, and finding new markets overseas for GT Mfg products. He worked with Linda Sutton and Ross Jordan at the KSBDC to connect him with the resources needed to expand their exports.
Pedersen's sales philosophy is "to prepare for what our customers are capable of doing, and not what we think they will do." The KSBDC helped him refine his business plan to maximize his outreach efforts overseas, and develop a marketing strategy.
Dennis credits the success of the company on the character and hard work of its employees. "Our employees are the reason why the company has continued to grow. They are the most important asset this company has", said Pedersen. The company had 17 employees in 2005 when Pedersen took over managing the company. Thanks to growing demand, and greater production capacity, the company now employs 42 workers.
When asked to give advice to other business executives, Pedersen mentioned two things: the importance of reaching-out to resources like the KSBDC when planning for the future, and investing in a good team of employees.

Exceptional families in Maranello today
There are 15,000 special guests at Ferrari today, made up of the families of those who work in Maranello. They have been given the opportunity to look round the company, including the road car production areas and those relating to racing and the Scuderia. It's an event that takes place regularly so that those who end up hearing about Ferrari every evening at home, can see for themselves at close quarters where their loved ones work and what the atmosphere is like on a daily basis within Maranello.
In over thirty areas, some of the employees gave a guided tour of what goes on day in day out in the design and construction of the most beautiful cars in the world. Inside a marquee behind the Formula 1 Wind Tunnel there was an exhibition of all the very latest developments in terms of product, racing and brand, while a giant screen scrolled through photos of the greatest wins in the history of the Scuderia and also of the two latest cars to roll out the gates of Maranello. The whole range of cars could be admired as well as the limited edition LaFerrari and a Formula 1 car in the Piazza Giovanni Agnelli, at the heart of the Ferrari campus. In the Scuderia area, not only were this year's cars on display, but also a selection of the most successful ones from the past and adding further interest for the visitors, they could also see what goes on in the motorhome that is the base for team members at the races.
"The Ferrari family is made up of all our employees, but behind each one of them is their own family," said Luca di Montezemolo. " Seeing them all together here today, showing such enthusiasm for the company where we spend so much of our day made me very happy. I often say that behind our cars are exceptional men and women: today I saw that supporting them are equally exceptional families."
There was an area especially for the youngest visitors, on a temporary lawn with a merry-go-round, games and shows and the lawn will later be given to the municipality of Maranello who will use it to host summer camps for the children of its employees.
It was a special day for everyone, but probably an unforgettable one for the ten lucky people who were able to experience the thrill of speed on the Fiorano Track, in a 458 Italia driven by Pedro de la Rosa and Davide Rigon, two drivers who work for the Scuderia on the development of the Formula 1 cars.

Ball bearings can be used in a variety of applications from medical and aerospace technology to packaging equipment, electronics, office technology, and even high-end yo-yos. Since these components are available in different types of materials, each with its own set of features and benefits, weighing the pros and cons of a specific kind of ball bearing can become an important part of the design process. Three main types of ball bearings are steel, ceramic, and polymer. While every ball bearing is comprised of four main parts — an outer race, an inner race, a cage, and balls — each has its own set of characteristics and benefits.
Steel ball bearings
Partly because they are an older technology, steel ball bearings are a trusted solution for many design engineers. Typically, these types of bearings are comprised of all-steel parts, but are available with different types of steel races and balls, or with a phenolic cage. Steel ball bearings are ideal for robust applications handling extremely high loads and fast rotations per minute (RPMs), specifically when compared to polymer ball bearings, and some feature a radial load capacity of up to 30,000 lb. Another advantage is that steel ball bearings tend to be more precise due to the clearance that can be achieved.
However, steel ball bearings do have some disadvantages. They are heavy, tend to deliver noisy operation, and depending on the grade of steel, lack chemical resistance. They require constant lubrication, which increases the time and cost spent on maintenance. Steel is also susceptible to corrosion in humid or wet environments, and specifically in medical applications, its magnetic properties can cause problems.
In addition, there is such a high number of steel ball bearing manufacturers that prices can greatly vary, ranging from downright inexpensive to very costly. This could be perceived as a pro or a con, but either way, the options can be overwhelming at times.
Ceramic ball bearings
The most common type of ceramic ball bearing is often considered a "hybrid," which indicates the outer race, inner race, and cage of the bearing is comprised of steel, while the balls are made of ceramic. The ceramic material enables the bearing to run faster while maintaining a cooler operational temperature and simultaneously reducing noise and vibration.
Ceramic ball bearings tend to be more corrosion-resistant, more rigid, and lighter weight than most steel ball bearings. Lower coefficients and higher RPMs are also possible, and since they are nonconductive, ceramic ball bearings can be used in electrical applications. In addition, most ceramic balls bearings can operate in temperatures up to 1,800F.

Uwe Seeler and Karl-Heinz Schnellinger could not do it. Nor could Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller. Or Paul Breitner and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. Or Matthias Sammer and Jürgen Klinsmann. And last night Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mesut Ozil showed that they, too, could not do it. They could not beat Italy in a competitive fixture.
This result in Warsaw extends the historic sequence to four wins and four draws, going all the way back to the World Cup in Chile exactly 50 years ago, when the two sides drew 0-0 in a group match. Italy's goalkeeper that day was Lorenzo Buffon, a cousin of the grandfather of last night's captain, Gianluigi Buffon, whose hectic saves and punches buttressed a defence that endured typical Italian agonies as they clung to the lead supplied by Mario Balotelli's two goals.
That was quite a side back in 1962: Cesare Maldini, Omar Sívori, Jose Altafini and the 18-year-old Gianni Rivera established a template from which the results such as this are still being stamped out. And Germany, always so full of hope with generation after generation of shiny new-model players assembled in the spotless laboratories of the Bundesliga, are still being stamped on.
Coming into this tournament, Joachim Löw's squad were just about everybody's favourites to put an end to Spain's four-year grip on international football. They are the product of a programme that, in the last three years, had resulted in important victories over Italy at Under-17, Under-19 and Under-21 level. Before Thursday night, Löw's seniors had won 15 competitive fixtures in a row, beating a record previously held jointly by Spain, France and Holland. They seemed to be on an upward curve that began in Euro 2008 and continued at the World Cup two years ago. No doubt they and many others were hoping to see if they could reverse the result of the 2010 semi-final in Durban, where they lost to Spain by the only goal.
The style and quality of their football has made them perhaps the most widely admired Germany side since the team of Beckenbauer, Müller and Günther Netzer won the European title on home soil in 1972. With Ozil injecting the level of artistry and spontaneity once embodied by the great Netzer, this is a Germany we can all warm to.
On Thursday night they fought to the end but were not quite good enough to match Cesare Prandelli's remarkable Italy, the product of a man with a vision that involves taking the long-established virtues of Italian football and adding something extra. Just as Löw, right, has added emotion to German's efficiency, so Prandelli has made Italy much more than a brilliant defensive platform from which to mount the occasional counterattack. And, of course, he has Andrea Pirlo.
It took the English an awfully long time to discover Pirlo. And now that they have, everybody wants one. If only Roy Hodgson could unearth an English Pirlo, they are saying, all his problems would disappear. But it takes more than an Andrea Pirlo to make a team world class. The playmaker has to have someone to play with, a group of team-mates attuned to his patient geometry.
It takes a good team to extinguish Pirlo's influence, too, and that was German's priority on Thursday night. "He is the one who directs the game," Löw said, "so we'll have to stop him and get in his radius." Rudi Völler, one of his predecessors as Germany's head coach, added: "They have to isolate Pirlo."
Easier to say than to do, although Pirlo himself seemed to have an idea of how Germany might try to stifle him, comparing what he expected from Ozil to what he had got from Wayne Rooney. "I expect Ozil to be a greater threat in and around the areas where I'm playing," he said, "whereas Rooney stayed further up."
That was not how it worked out. Once again Pirlo sat deep, and once again he was able to find all the space he needed. In the 20th minute he swivelled and surprised the German cover by stroking the ball to the left, to Giorgio Chiellini, who fed Antonio Cassano further up the line, leading to the cross from which Balotelli gave his side the lead.
"We will not let Italy show us how to play football," Löw had said on the eve of the match, but the demonstration was under way.
Now Pirlo sat even further back, letting a younger man, the 27-year-old Riccardo Montolivo, run the show from the classic No10 position behind the two strikers. And in the 36th minute Montolivo collected Buffon's punched clearance, spotted Balotelli's run, and hit a long ball of perfect weight and trajectory for the striker to hammer past the motionless Manuel Neuer.
That wasn't Route One. It was the Via dei Condotti and the Via Veneto: the world of La Dolce Vita and the bella figura. It was the Appian Way, ancient Rome's "queen of the long roads". It was the football lesson Löw had been fearing.

The E-Type captured the imagination of generations of car lovers, including the fellas at MotorWeek. Well, guess what? They like the F-Type too!
The F-Type is one of the most hotly anticipated cars of 2013, and it comes in a few different flavors. The base car, John Davis says, is the "Bruce Wayne of the bunch." I guess because it's parents were murdered in front of it? Maybe? The other two cars don't receive a Batman comparison.
Still, it sounds and looks great. Check out some wonderful GoPro and b-roll footage from the car's launch in Spain as John Davis speaks over the exhaust note. Who wants to hear that anyway?

The word "whatever" once again topped the list of most annoying word or phrase in the American vernacular, according to an annual poll.
Thirty-eight percent of those polled said they hate the word, while 22 percent said they would be happy if they never hear the word "like" used again. This is the fifth year in a row "whatever" made it to No. 1 on the list, according to Marist College Institute for Public Opinion.
"You know" came in next with 18 percent followed by "just saying,'" which irked 14 percent of Americans. Rounding out the top five is "obviously" with 6 percent, while 2 percent were unsure.
Americans are also looking forward to a new year where the word "Obamacare" is eliminated from the political vocabulary.
The word, which describes President Barack Obama's health care law, annoyed 41 percent of those who were polled. It was followed by "shutdown," "gridlock," "fiscal cliff" and "sequestration."
The Marist poll surveyed 1,173 adults between Dec. 3 to Dec. 5 and has a plus or minus 2.9 percentage point margin of error.

There is an eccentricity in all true storytellers. Fantastic ideas don't come from thin air. What fuels storytellers, though, is experience: the good and the bad in life, the images we take away from the everyday, the stories we hear from others that are filed away for later use. They can be darkened for adults or coloured brightly for children. They can be related as is, no matter how dull or ridiculous. Wherever these ideas come from, they affect us.
Living With Ants, the debut album from Lauren Doss aka Mechanical Bride has the patina of experience over it. There is a certain knowingness in her voice, and not just in the impressive control she exacts over it; regardless of volume or note she keeps it calm and measured, sometimes with eerie precision.
As Doss describes pastoral images of magpies and village fetes to pair with storybook images of monkey choruses and peach wolves, there is a certain world weariness to suggest that no matter what she shares, there is something always held back. This is most clear in songs of complicated relationships, the transparent example in her paraphrasing of Red Riding Hood in lead single 'Colour of Fire.'
These whimsical, sometimes surreal stories are are told softly and accompanied with a similar light touch. The piano takes the lead on the majority of songs, providing the minimal bones that structure her tunes. Sometimes they are aided by little more than Doss's vocals. Mostly, she chooses to accent her songs rather than fill them out, with cellos, flutes, and trumpets spicing up outros while preserving the sparseness at the core of the songs. Her arrangements are largely cold, with the instruments all fitting together very carefully, but nothing ever completely blending.
The common theme of the album gives the songs a plonking repetition that breathes with comfort and familiarity and lends an air of security. Not that she clings to any formula: 'Walk Into the Forest' hints at a jazz influence, and 'Demons' shouts it from the rooftops. Vocal harmonies, whether overlays or additional singers, provide the greatest variations here and from track to track. It's not a matter of her strengths lying in individual components, but rather seems to be that she chooses to keep things simple.
Album standout 'To the Fight' is a perfect culmination of all of Doss's strengths; in one song, she successfully marries her strong piano leads, the rhythmic jocularity of her guitars, creeping drum beats and half-hidden vocal harmonies. What's more, it demonstrates how very capable she is at building a suspense and drama in her music that she seems to intentionally shy away from.
If Doss has any shortcoming, it's that she sometimes plays it too safe. She is skilful enough in her compositions and has enough of a sense of proportion that she could distinguish herself beyond her vivid lyrics and piano arrangements. She has shown what she can do. Now it's just a matter of her not selling herself short.

We now know all the members of Chip Kelly's first staff with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles made the announcement on Friday of the men who will be working under the new head coach in Philadelphia. Many of the names were already reported over the last month, including offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur and defensive coordinator Billy Davis, but the Eagles had not confirmed the hires until Friday.
One new name did emerge among the expected announcements. John Lovett will make the leap from the University of Cincinnati to the Eagles to serve as their defensive backs coach, the same role he held at Texas Tech last season before briefly joining the staff of the Bearcats. Lovett has also served as defensive coordinator at several colleges, including Auburn, Clemson and Cincinnati.
The rest of the staff looks like this: Dave Fipp (special teams), Greg Austin (assistant offensive line), Jerry Azzinaro (defensive line/assistant head coach), Bob Bicknell (wide receivers), Erik Chinander (assistant defensive line), Mike Dawson (defensive quality control), Matt Harper (assistant special teams), Josh Hingst (strength and conditioning), Shaun Huls (sports science coordinator), Bill Lazor (quarterbacks), Todd Lyght (assistant defensive backs), Bill McGovern (outside linebackers), Rick Minter (inside linebackers), Justin Peelle (assistant tight ends), Duce Staley (running backs), Jeff Stoutland (offensive line), Press Taylor (offensive quality control), Ted Williams (tight ends).

FITNESS 2012 Healthy Food Awards: Best Breakfast Bars
Claire Benoist
Raise the Bar
When you're on the go, an energy bar is one of the handiest and healthiest snacks around. But it can be tough to tell the good ones from the candy bars in disguise. No worries — we did the work for you, enlisting a team of nutritionists to find options with minimal added sugar, 200 or fewer calories, and at least three grams of both fiber and protein per full-size bar. And then we taste-tested every one! Keep these winners in your purse, gym bag, or desk drawer for a satisfying bite wherever you are.
Claire Benoist
Luna Bar Chocolate-Dipped Coconut
This 70-percent-organic bar "taste like a Samoa," the classic chocolate-drizzled Girl Scout cookie, testers told us. No need to pair it with a glass of milk, though: It contains 35 percent of the 1,000 milligrams of calcium you need in a day, plus vitamin D. (190 calories)
Claire Benoist
Clif Crunch Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bar
The generous portion — you get two bars in a serving — and extra-crunchy texture make this bar a standout. Try crumbling it over low-fat plain Greek yogurt for a delicious, healthy breakfast. (190 calories)
Claire Benoist
Balance Bar Bare Blueberry Acai
With 15 grams of protein — more than any other contender — this yogurt-coated bar is perfect for post-workout refueling. (200 calories)
Claire Benoist
ThinkThin Crunch Fruit & Nut Cranberry Apple & Mixed Nuts
Gwyneth Paltrow is a fan of this gluten-free line of snacks, and it's no wonder: The variety we sampled has nearly half the sugar and about twice the protein of many fruit-and-nut bars. (170 calories)
Claire Benoist
Corazonas Blueberry Oatmeal Squares
"Yum! This tastes more like a baked good than a bar," one tester said. Even better, each contains natural plant sterols and 17 grams of whole grains, both of which may help lower LDL, or bad, cholesterol. (180 calories)
Claire Benoist
Pure Naturals Peanut-Raisin Crunch Bar
Kill two cravings with one of these salty-sweet snacks. They have a chewy texture that's "like a Snickers bar," testers said, but without the chocolate or the additional 21 grams of sugar. (200 calories)
Claire Benoist
Rise Raspberry-Pomegranate Energy + Bar
Numerous testers likened the consistency and "fruity, but not too sweet" flavor of this date-based bar to the filling of a Fig Newton. It's ideal for those who don't eat gluten, dairy, soy, or peanuts. (200 calories)
Claire Benoist
Kind Fruit & Nut Delight Mini
Four kinds of nuts give this petite pick a surprising amount of staying power. Eat one a couple of hours before a big meal, when you need to take the edge off your hunger. (108 calories)
Claire Benoist
What Makes a Winner
Companies submitted more than 60 new bars to FITNESS. Our experts — Anar Allidina, RD, a dietitian in private practice in Toronto; Keri Gans, RD, author of The Small Change Diet; and Marissa Lippert, RD, author of The Cheater's Diet — analyzed the nutrition facts and ingredients to help us determine which ones deserved to move to the next round of judging. Those finalists were sampled and voted on by dozens of staffers in a blind taste-test.

Local community colleges boast new buildings so smart they've earned top honors
New buildings at both Anne Arundel Community College and the College of Southern Maryland are working just like good students do to achieve perfection.
Anne Arundel's renovated Andrew G. Truxal Library has already graduated LEED (short for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) with top honors. It's only the eighth building in Anne Arundel County to achieve those honors.
The just-completed green building on the College of Southern Maryland's Calvert campus — named Building B — is still taking its LEED exams.
Using repurposed and recycled materials and designed to be more energy efficient, LEED buildings are environmentally friendly. That makes them also friendly to the people who learn and work in them.
At the heart of Anne Arundel Community College's main campus in Arnold, the Truxal Library seems to use light as a construction material. The glass façade defines and brands the space. Large windows help regulate lighting and temperature. In turn, inside lights adjust their brightness based on the natural light available and the number of people within the space.
Glass is not as apparent at the College of Southern Maryland's Prince Frederick campus, but it is just as important. The glass-walled entrance brings in light and gives the building a soaring sense of loft. More light flows in through elongated skylights and big windows in classrooms. Natural light keeps most rooms so bright that shades are installed on many windows.
In each of the 30,000-square-foot building's seven new classrooms and labs and three new meeting rooms, light, temperature and air are perfectly balanced, with natural light and human presence taken into the equation.
"It's very sophisticated," says Richard Fleming, dean of the Calvert campus. "All the mechanical systems are computer-controlled. The building is constantly monitoring itself."
Recycling brings more points to buildings seeking LEED honors. Anne Arundel's 1967 Truxal library was recycled into the new building. A small expansion strip marks the transition from the renovated old building to the new 32,000-square-foot addition.
Renovation has almost doubled the library's size and enlarged its capacity — and energy draw. It now holds over 200 computers. Yet it consumes 22 percent less energy.
In Calvert, 80 percent of construction materials were recycled. "Even trees that had to be cut were recycled as lumber or mulch," Fleming says.
Water Savings
Building B is setting Calvert County records at the same time it earns LEED honors. It gives Calvert its second LEED building. The building's four green roofs are sources of particular pride to Fleming, who oversaw the rise of the eight-year-old rural campus's newest addition.
Nice and flat, the succulent-planted roofs cover architectural bump-outs that can be seen and enjoyed from class and meeting room windows.
With 31 bioretention ponds throughout parking lots, the four green roofs are part of a system that allows no water to leave the site. With stormwater recycled and all ground-level green spaces planted in natives tolerant of Maryland's climate, Building B has no irrigation.
Water-saving faucets and toilets earn more LEED credit.
Anne Arundel Community College's green roof is proving human-friendly, too.
During the redesign, students were interviewed about what they wanted in the new library. So in addition to recycled carpets and rain gardens — which LEED values — the library now has more study spaces, windows and computers.
LEED also rewards minimalist architecture, so exposed beams and brick walls are integrated into the design, rather than covered up, making the library look more like a trendy apartment than an old academic building.
"Within days," Library Director Cindy Steinhoff said, "students found their favorite spots in the building."
For some, that spot is next to the window out to an 8,000-square-foot rain garden that doubles as a green roof. Fed with water from the AC units, this garden helps keep the building cooler and reduces stormwater runoff.
"Features like this got us LEED points," says Steinhoff. "They also got us points with the students."

Norris runs out of gas in loss to A's
HOUSTON -- The Astros named Bud Norris their No. 1 starter before the season and he did everything possible Saturday night to prove that he is the ace of their staff.
Norris pitched 5 2/3 innings in a 6-3 loss to Oakland, getting beat by three unearned runs in the sixth inning at Minute Maid Park.
"[Norris] did a tremendous job," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "Tonight, he grew up. He bowed his neck. He did what a No. 1 starter should do when the bullpen is light. He pitched his heart out."
Porter made a trip to the mound after Norris walked Brandon Moss to put runners on first and second with two outs in the sixth and the Astros still leading, 3-2. And left Norris in.
"You earned the right to win to this game," Porter said to Norris during the trip. "I'm going to give you the chance to do it.
"He wanted to be out there. He looked me straight in the eye and said, 'Skip, I want this.'
"I'm not coming to get you," Porter told Norris. "I just wanted to let you know that you've earned the right to keep this ball and win this game."
It didn't happen.
Josh Donaldson singled to right on a full count to drive in the tying run.
"I made a pretty good pitch, but he found a hole out there," Norris said. "It's kind of a tough break. If you're going to pitch deep into games, you're going to have to make pitches."
Oakland added two more singles off reliever Wesley Wright to take the lead for good at 5-3.
"I threw real well," Norris said. "I got behind in a couple of counts."
Despite throwing 122 pitches, Norris said he wasn't tired.
"I felt strong as the game went on," he said. "I felt strong in the sixth inning and they got a few hits that fell in. It was a long inning."
"He's an experienced guy," Porter said of Norris. "He's pitching on one-plus day [of rest]. He didn't have any strenuous innings leading up to that inning. All that goes into account. The biggest thing is he's our No. 1 starter."
Norris liked the idea of moving up a day in the rotation, pushing Erik Bedard's first start to Tuesday in Seattle.
"I wanted to go," Norris said. "You want to go every five or six days, or you lose your mojo. I felt strong and ready to go. I think I showed a little bit of it."
Jed Lowrie, the former Astro, led off the fateful sixth inning with a homer and the key play occurred when shortstop Ronny Cedeno misplayed Josh Reddick's hard ground ball for an error.
"The biggest play of the game was the error," Porter said.
"That's tough," Norris said of losing the game on three unearned runs. "I almost got out of it. I got the next two guys. Then a 3-2 walk to Moss and a 3-2 base hit to Donaldson. It wasn't like they hit scorchers off the wall."
The A's got just enough hits to win the game.
"Josh Donaldson's at-bat is the best at-bat of the game," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "He gets behind and then works it to 3-2 and hits a slider, which ends up being a huge hit. Good starters, there are a couple of different ways to beat them. You try to get them early or you try to get their pitch counts up and get them when they're vulnerable. He threw a lot of pitches in six innings, but he's got good stuff. I can see why they like him a lot."
Norris understood Oakland's strategy.
"I know what they're trying to do," he said. "They're trying to get me out of the game and get into the bullpen."
The Astros' bullpen has been shaky so far this year.
Houston finally showed some offense, taking a 3-1 lead in the fourth inning on singles by Carlos Pena and Justin Maxwell, followed by Jason Castro's three-run, opposite-field home run.
Cedeno had a tough night, going 0-for-4 in the No. 2 spot in the lineup as well making the decisive error.
"I got a bad hop at the last second," Cedeno said. "[Reddick] hit it hard. Sometimes, the ball is hit hard. I was ready to field the ball, but I got a bad hop at the last second. Sometimes, you make errors. It's kind of sad. Norris pitched a good game."
Castro felt bad for his pitcher.
"He did a tremendous job with his offspeed [pitches]," Castro said. "It's tough. I'm able to empathize with the pitchers more."

Crofter, that thing looks like it would last a lifetime lol. Nice bit of craftsmanship.
Crofter, that thing looks like it would last a lifetime lol. Nice bit of craftsmanship.
Bill...in Southeast Ohio Zone 6A, Never look down on anybody unless you are helping them up
Interesting as on one of the videos showing vaporization they first checked it was melted...then put it back in to treat. Perhaps many are using a substance quite different from they thought. I think it may have been a Fat Bee Man video.
Crofter, do you know the part number on your glo-plugs?
I dont remember off hand but it is somewhere here in a post; It is for VW but not sure whether before or after the TDI. engine. Radar? Some glowplugs must be used with a controller or they go like flash bulbs so you must get one that is for full 12v. Actually the ones I used were stamped rated 11.5V . I would not go to the trouble of threading for the plug. That and a tapered seat is to withstand 1500 or so PSI in an operating diesel. Set screw is simpler. Use a 20 ft or so cord and you have no need to be anywhere near the fuming hive unless you are trying to do rapid fire and jerk the vaporizer out to put in the next hive. I leave in and hive blocked for 15 min and there is no fumes. OA unless heated, gives off no more fumes than sugar would. If you over heat or apply heat too quickly it will flash to CO and formic acid. As you heat it it should first liquify then boil off over a minute or so and the Oxalic vapor looks like thick white smoke. It is deposited over the interior in minute crystals. Stay out of that cloud just as you would stay out of the smoke of burning plastic.
I had fun making it but the price of a proven design is around a hundred bucks. Having one thin enough to slip through a standard entrance is a big plus as you can do it without disturbing the hive and in any weather.
Crofter, if you were asking about a part number for a glo-plug in one of your posts, I didn't see one. But in this thread, which you did also post in:
There is a reference in post #44 to an Autolite #1104 glow plug. These seem to retail for around $10.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
Yes the Autolite 1104 has the same rating as a Bosch 80010, the autolite plug is a little bit longer and slightly cheaper than the Bosch. I agree that it is better to remove the threads as this helps to keep the unit shorter in height, the Heilyser is only 1/2" in thickness.

Bill...in Southeast Ohio Zone 6A, Never look down on anybody unless you are helping them up
Thanks on finding those numbers. If you are making something up don't go too small with the bowl. When it starts to melt the OA bubbles and froths quite a bit. The first unit I made tended to boil over. Plan to do a few runs in open air to get timing right. I give about a minute and pause 30 seconds then a couple of 15 second shots. There is a bit of delay, then overshoot effect.
I had notions of trying a CPU cooling fan and a housing around the unit with a nozzle to blow vapors into any shape of entrance. The nozzle would have to be something like paper though or the vapors condense on it like hoar frost and never make it inside. That can be a problem with the crack pipe designs (besides being too close to the action)
Here is the type I make now. Big difference is it has 2 trays to hold the oxalic. I figured the heat would dissipate better this way. I use the Autolite #1104's in mine and have it rigged to plug into the 12V outlet on my ATV. Makes it pretty easy.
ky mike, that is an interesting design, I like it, great workmanship and there is no need to remove the threads.
Bill...in Southeast Ohio Zone 6A, Never look down on anybody unless you are helping them up
crofter, I agree with the larger bowl idea, the only complaint that I had with the heilyser was that the bowl was a little small which allowed the bubbling OA to spill out a little so I machined a larger pan with thicker walls and it was a big improvement, no more spillage.

KY Mike;
One glow plug only? I notice a bit of scorch marks on bottom boards. Plan to give a wrap of glass cloth and an aluminum foil skin to keep the heat where it is needed. It works though and may be one of those things that dont happen.
IMO glow plug is much safer route.The heater way very well function just fine for you, just a bit of caution.
Thanks for the FYI Burns, much appreciated and good point. I used to work with Metal sheathed heat tracing cables and remember the white compound that kept the element centered and away from the out coating. Trying to remember the name?? Pyro something??
I have actually started making a two glow plug heater. Got it working, just need some finishing touches, then I'll post some pictures of it.
Good Luck!
Finished the new vaporizer today and have tested it out a couple of times.
But I have not tested it in a hive yet.
I didn't have any 1/2 plate aluminum so I used two sheets of 1/4 inch and one sheet of 1/8
Drilled the pocket with a hole saw in the one of the 1/4 inch plates and the 1/8 plate.
Sandwiched the plates together and then milled it to shape. The handle rod is aluminum stock.
I added a switch too.
After adding the heat shield on the bottom, I ended up milling the 1/8th off the top to make it slimmer.
I made four like KY Mike's design, thank you! Ran all four in parallel and got a bunch of hives done right quick!
One apiary is in a sheltered location with very still air. The vapor stayed like campfire smoke and chilly scouts. I am very glad I chose to use my APR first thing.
So after treating all my hives for my first round I am curious what kind of residue people are finding in their vaporizers. It seems that there is almost always a little crud left over. Thoughts?
Got around to using my new homemade 2 glow plug vaporizer. It appeared to work well off of a 12 volt ridding lawn tractor battery. I like the on off switch! Took about three minutes to vaporize and finish off making vapour. Put in through the back of the hive under the SBB.
I like putting it in the back of the hive compared to the front entrance.

The Loot-A-Rang is an item that allows you to "loot a nearby corpse." However, so does right-clicking the corpse. And since this item requires a target in order to be used, you have to click a corpse anyway.
I decided to make a macro to remove the need to click a target:
/targetlastenemy [noexists][nodead]
/use [dead]Loot-A-Rang
While this seemed clever, I soon realized that the Loot-A-Rang actually has both a cast time and a cooldown. Since I rarely only kill one enemy at a time, this makes regular looting faster than using this macro.
Is there really any benefit to using the Loot-A-Rang?

We strive to do business in a more enlightened way, where we take responsibility for the impact of our business on society and the environment. We're trying to do the right thing when it comes to...
Local Community
Our people have skills and energy that can make a real difference to the communities we're based in. By working alongside local charities, schools and not-for-profit groups, we're able to focus our efforts and resources for the greatest impact. Our "My Big Idea" inventing competition for local schools has funded new IT equipment for several primary schools and we give a day a year for all staff to do charitable work, as well as time off to give blood.
Global Community
We try to use fairly traded products in our office kitchens. We support a range of charities through our feedback forms system, Christmas email, and donations for group and individual fundraising events. Staff across the firm are also enthusiastic fundraisers.
La Playa's direct environmental impact comes mainly from our use of energy and the emissions and waste we generate at our premises. Insurance has traditionally been a very paper-reliant industry, but we've taken significant steps to improve our environmental performance:
We aim to employ the best people in the business. Their talent and dedication are what make our growing business so successful. We offer a competitive reward package and a supportive environment in which they can enjoy their work and reach their full potential. That involves recognising that employees have lives outside work, and giving them opportunities to work flexibly where possible. 'Birthday Tea' means staff go home at 3pm on their birthday to celebrate with friends and family. We provide fresh fruit and great coffee for employees.
We support Cleantech business clients with risk management and insurance programmes for their innovations in environmental custodianship, and promote ethical and green investment for our financial management clients.
Equal Opportunities
We recruit and promote people only on merit, regardless of race, gender, religion, marital status, sexuality, disability or age.
Rewards & Benefits
We reward excellent performance with an excellent reward package consisting of salary, bonus and benefits.
Training & Development
Employing the best people requires a commitment by the company to giving them every opportunity to fulfil their potential through learning and development. Each individual's training needs are reviewed twice a year along with performance against clearly set objectives.
Communication & Participation
For employees to do their best, they must understand the business and their role in it. For this, communication is essential. We try to keep employees up to date with the business through formal briefings and team meetings as well as more informal means. Managers take these opportunities to listen to employees and involve them in the development of the business. We also have regular social events including barbecues and a picnic for employees' families.
It's the culture at La Playa that sets us apart. We value quality, integrity, excellence, respect and fun. We believe if people enjoy what they do, they will do it well. And vice versa. One of the philosophies behind the company name (La Playa = "the beach" in Spanish) is "Life's a Beach".
In the way we deal with clients, we are committed to professional integrity, treating customers fairly, and maintaining true independence to achieve the best possible result for our clients.
Corporate Governance
We try to maintain a balance between maintaining high standards of governance and compliance with FSA regulation, and a degree of innovation, responsiveness and fleetness of foot.
