Hometime FAQs
Here's Where We've Collected a Lot of
Frequently Asked Questions
Along with
A Few Good Answers!
How do I get my house on Hometime?
Sorry we can't help...
We're sorry to say that we will not be able to come work on your home. The primary reason is that we keep several projects going at one time and have to bounce around between them. So we have to work almost exclusively in our neighborhood (Minneapolis and St. Paul). We DO take occasional trips around the country but these are usually to participate in Habitat for Humanity projects or to get a behind-the-scenes look at how a building material or furnishing is manufactured.
Help! Will you give me advice on my project?
No, and here's why. Last time you discussed a project with someone, we bet it wasn't long before you said, "Wait. Got a pen? Let me draw what I mean." It's really hard to give advice about a project you can't see. All it would take is the slightest miscommunication on your part or the tiniest misunderstanding on our part about the scope of the project, and we'd be unintentionally giving you advice that won't really help your situation. You'd be mad at us, our lawyers would be mad at us…
Here's what you do: talk to your neighbors; log into any of the really good home improvement forums out there; watch a tape and read a book or two; call your local building department; pay a contractor for their advice. Trust us, if you do this you'll figure out how to get the job done.
Why won't Hometime streaming videos play on my computer?
Our videos (like most web videos) use Adobe Flash technology. We suggest you make sure you are using the most current version of the Adobe Flash Player. You can download the most current Flash Player here.
Our visitors have also found that using a different browser sometimes helps play our videos better. We suggest trying the Google Chrome browser and the Firefox browser (all users) and Safari (Mac users).
And sometimes all that's needed is a little patience. Our videos occasionally take a moment to "kick in" to play mode.
Thanks for watching our videos. We continue to work to improve the videos and the technology that delivers them to you.
Can I use content from the Hometime website on my website or in my newsletter?
We're sorry, but all of the content on the Hometime website is copyrighted and can't be posted or printed anywhere without our written permission (and a licensing contract). The only exceptions are the eleven press releases on the press page, which must be reproduced in their entirety, including the acknowledgement to Hometime and the copyright.
Will Hometime exchange links with my website?
We're sorry, but Hometime does not exchange links and we don't respond to unsolicited link exchange requests.
Does Hometime.com accept content from outside contributors?
All of the content on the Hometime website (including articles and videos) is created by Hometime. We feel users visit our site for the uniquely "Hometime" approach to home improvement. Hometime does not solicit and does not accept content generated by outside contributors. This includes content promoting a particular product, service, cause or website. If you would like to submit a product or idea for us to consider for our program or web site, please read the next FAQ.
How do I get my exciting new home-improvement product on your show?
We will be happy to consider your product for use on Hometime if you snail-mail us a press kit and product literature (photographs really help). Please do not send videos or product samples; we'll call and ask for them if we need them. Our address is:
ATTN: New products
4355 Peavey Rd.
Chaska, MN 55318
Don't get too excited about the possibilities, though. We receive hundreds of proposals each month for products that people feel should be on Hometime. Only very rarely do these proposals fit in with our construction, schedule, and show concepts.
Where can I get more information about that thingamajig I saw on the show?
If you are looking for more information about a particular product you saw on Hometime, check the On TV section of hometime.com, which contains show images and product listings for all new (and many past) Hometime projects.
What's up with Dean and all his "wives"
Okay, here's the story. Dean is not now—and never has been—married to any of his co-hosts. He is happily married, however.
So why did we make it look like Dean and his co-hosts were married? It's a philosophy we called "living the project." When we made it look like Dean and his co-host lived in the houses they worked on, we could delve into the issues of living in a house under construction: cooking in the living room, taking cat baths at the laundry tub, making yet another trip to the home center store, and eating way too much take-out. We even showed them goofing off to remind homeowners to take a break and have a little fun every now and then. Today, we are moving away from the married couple concept, yet taking the "living the project" format even further to include real homeowners pitching in and a unique home improvement crew.
Where are Robin and all the other past co-hosts these days?
Robin Hartl was hired by Hometime in July 1992 to begin production of the 1993 season. She taped her last episode in August of 2004. With twelve seasons and over three hundred episodes, Robin was on Hometime longer than any other female co-host.
Besides Hometime reruns, Robin is still on TV. You might have seen her on infomercials with Richard Karn ("Al Borland" from the sitcom Home Improvement ) for the Little Giant Ladder Systems. And she says she hasn't ruled out having a TV show of her own.
To stay updated on her activities you can check out her web site: www.robinhartl.com.
Susanne Egli joined Hometime for one season after JoAnne left. She has since appeared in numerous regional theater productions, commercials, and training films. She is presently putting her communications skills to work as a communications coach with Change Masters, a communications consulting firm.
JoAnne (JoJo) Liebeler was the second Hometime co-host. She was with the show for four years before moving to Los Angeles to pursue work in the entertainment industry. After several years of freelance work, including a gig as a comedy writer for a syndicated TV show, she returned to her home improvement roots. JoJo has started a production company that develops and produces television programs-something that's been a longtime dream of hers.
Peggy Knapp was our first co-host. She joined us in 1986 but left after the first season. Since then Peggy has produced and/or reported for a variety of programs, including Newton's Apple, Network Earth, Earth Matters, and The American Edge. She has received numerous awards for her work, including two Emmy Awards and a Cable ACE Award. Peggy is presently on staff at the Center for Global Environmental Education at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she produces Rivers of Life, an internet-based learning program.
Where is Judd Nelson?
Judd Nelson spent 12 years as Hometime's Construction Manager. Before going into construction, Judd taught art at a public school here in the Twin Cities. Since retiring from Hometime, Judd has turned his hobby of creating unique metal sculptures into a business. You can see some of his work at his web site: www.juddnelsonstudios.com.
Why don't you give costs for the houses you build?
When Hometime builds a house the costs are very skewed because we are not a typical contractor. On Hometime projects the bottom line includes not only construction costs, but also the added expense of video production. For example, our construction labor costs are often inflated because our contractors have to work around our video production schedule, which makes the job take longer.
We also use lots of new products and materials that may not yet be common, or even available, in many areas. We often pay for a lot of head scratching while we figure out the best way to install these products. Sometimes a product is so new that it hasn't yet become available in Minnesota, which means there may not be local contractors who know how to install it. We've actually had to bring in installers from other states when this happens. Believe us, providing airfare and lodging for your contractors can really mess up a construction budget.
Finally, property, labor, and materials costs vary so widely across the country that it would be impossible for us to give you any idea what the houses we build would cost to build in your area.
We do have plans & study plans available for many of the houses we have built on Hometime. Based on these plans, a local contractor/builder can give you an estimate of what it would cost for you to build that particular home in your area.
Does Hometime do midrange projects any more?
Sure we do. As best we can tell, we have two audiences—those of you who want detailed information about reality-based hands-on projects, and those of you who are armchair dream-project builders—so we try to accommodate both in our production schedule. As we plan our schedule each year, we try to balance the high-end (usually a new dream home or a major remodel) with more moderate renovations (often landscaping projects and kitchen or bath remodels).
Beyond the entertainment value of building these dream houses, we feel there is value in them for anyone who will be building or remodeling in the next few years—no matter what the cost of the project. That's because new techniques and materials are expensive and show up in high-end homes first. These techniques and materials often become more available—and more affordable—after they've been around a few years.
Where are all the new shows?
Every year we produce new programs that appear on public television. In addition, we are now in syndication and producing new shows for those stations, as well. On our TV page you can check our PBS Schedule, and our Syndication Schedule to see what's currently airing. There is also a station finder so you can find which station in your area is carrying the syndicated version of Hometime.
Can I visit past Hometime projects?
To protect the privacy of the people who now own these properties, we do not release the addresses of our projects. We—and they—thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Where can I buy a copy of the music you play on Hometime?
The music on Hometime is not actually available anywhere! Due to the complicated issues that come with purchasing the rights to record and broadcast commercially available music, we purchased an exclusive line of music for use solely on Hometime. This music cannot be sold anywhere else.

47 Tucanae Core: Ground vs. Hubble Image
[RIGHT] The core of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, as imaged by the European Space Agency's Faint Object Camera (FOC) onboard NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The FOC resolves several hundred stars where ground- based images only yield a few dozen stars. The image reveals so-called blue straggler stars (encircled) which are exceptionally bright in ultraviolet light. HST's UV sensitivity and high resolution allow it to easily separate the blue stragglers from the red giant stars which dominate the cluster.
Blue straggler stars may evolve from "old age" back to a hotter and brighter youth through stellar collisions and mergers. This high concentration of blue stragglers towards the core of 47 Tucanae suggests they are significantly more massive than most of the cluster's stars. Some of blue stragglers could be massive because they are really double star systems. Such binary systems may influence the motions of thousands of other stars within the cluster. The FOC observations were made in ultraviolet light (2200 angstroms) on November 16, 1990 with the FOC in F/96 mode. Field of view is 11 X 11 arc seconds corresponding to a width of .75 light years, at 47 Tucanae's distance of 15,000 light years. Resolution is 0.1 arc second.

Resolution is 0.8 arcsecond, field of view 1.75 x 1.75 arcminutes, and limiting magnitude of 16.

Lascaux Acrylic Paints are milled to have the body and texture of fine oils. Intensely pigmented, these colors are extraordinarily lightfast and completely resistant to aging.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
organic, dichloroquinacridone
PR202 has a bluish red color, but is more yellow than Quinacridone Red (PR122), which is the modern favorite for Magenta in CMYK (four color) process printing.
Although it is not the most famous magenta in the quinacridone family of pigments, PR202 belongs to a related class chemically, and is thus relatively stable and permanent for a bluish red pigment. It is one of the pigments often used in inks and toners for process printing.
Quinacridone Magenta has no acute hazards. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinicridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
PR202 has been widely used as an automotive paint. Other applications include packaging, printing inks, and textiles.
Quinacridone Fuchsia. Monastral Magenta, Fastogen Super Magenta
organic synthetic, quinacridone
Quinacridone Red is a high performance, transparent pigment with an average drying time and uneven dispersal. It is another name for Quinacridone Violet (PV19) and Quinacridone Red (PR192). Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.
Quinacridone Violet has excellent lightfastness and is considered the most lightfast organic pigment in this shade range.
Quinacridone Violet has no known acute hazards. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinicridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late 19th century, methods of manufacturing so as to make them practical for use as commercial pigments did not begin until the 1950s. Quinacridone pigments were first developed as coatings for the automotive industry, but were quickly adopted by artists.

Setting aside almost 60 years of athletic tradition in a quest for greater financial stability, the University of Maryland will join the Big Ten Conference, school and league officials announced Monday after a weekend of whirlwind negotiations.
In another of the massive conference shifts that have defined college sports in recent years, Maryland will join the traditionally Midwestern Big Ten in 2014, leaving behind the Atlantic Coast Conference, which the university helped found in 1953.
The move is an emotional one for students, athletes and alumni, many of whom were raised on fierce rivalry games between Maryland and ACC powers such as Duke and the University of North Carolina. But the millions of dollars in additional revenue from the Big Ten's television deals was too great for Maryland officials, who cut seven sports this year in hopes of closing a $4 million deficit in the athletic department budget.
At an afternoon news conference on campus, university president Wallace Loh described the move as a "watershed moment" that will "ensure the financial sustainability of Maryland athletics for years to come." He added that a new influx of revenue would allow the university to restore teams that were cut earlier this year for budget reasons.
In detailing negotiations that lasted about two weeks, Loh and athletic director Kevin Anderson said the university's coaches were initially stunned by the possible move and acknowledged that many students and alumni are unhappy.
"At first, it was like going through all the processes of grieving," Anderson said of his meetings with coaches.
"I'm very aware that for many Terp fans and alumni, the reaction is stunned," Loh said. "I made this decision as best I could, in consultation with key stakeholders and after doing due diligence. There was only one objective: do what's best for the University of Maryland."
Maryland's Board of Regents voted to endorse the move Monday morning after being briefed Sunday by Loh. The Big Ten's Council of Presidents then quickly approved Maryland's application for admission. The startling shift was a done deal less than 48 hours after negotiations became public knowledge.
Big Ten commissioner James E. Delany described his presidents as "giddy" in approving Maryland's application. He said that as a flagship university representing a demographically rich state that's contiguous to existing Big Ten territory, Maryland is a perfect addition. "I know there's some ambivalence and maybe some anger," Delany said in addressing Maryland fans. "But I hope that over time, we can embrace each other and realize that we can be better together than we were apart."
The jump could come with a hefty initial price tag of $50 million, the cost of exiting the ACC as approved by the conference's schools earlier this year. University system officials said Monday they weren't sure how much Maryland would end up paying or how the cost would be covered. Loh said the university has a plan and that details would be worked out in private negotiations with ACC officials.
But system leaders said the long-term financial benefits of joining the Big Ten would outweigh the initial financial hit.
"We've got to look to the future," said state regent Patricia Florestano in explaining the vote.
Maryland was expected to receive about $17 million a year in shared television revenue from the ACC once the league expanded to include Syracuse University and the University of Pittsburgh in 2013. Big Ten schools will each receive about $24.6 million this year, according to a May report in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and analysts say that number could rise with expansion.
With Maryland and the expected addition Tuesday of Rutgers University, the footprint of the 14-team Big 10 would stretch from the East Coast to Nebraska, with major television markets such as New York, Chicago and Baltimore/Washington included.
That geographic reach will give the Big Ten greater leverage when it negotiates a new media rights deal in 2017. It will also allow the already-prosperous Big Ten Network to charge higher rights fees from East Coast and Mid-Atlantic cable distributors, said regional network analyst Lee Berke, CEO of LHB Sports, Entertainment & Media, Inc.
"They might be able to double their fees in many markets, which would allow a substantial leap forward financially for the schools," Berke said. "Overall, there's great upside for Maryland to make this move in terms of geography, television and finances."
Berke said it's too early to put an exact figure on how much Big Ten schools will profit from expansion. A Sports Illustrated report Monday said Big Ten officials had told Maryland it could add almost $100 million by 2020 in the conference switch.
Maryland officials said they were also enticed by the prospect of joining an academic consortium of Big Ten schools known as the Committee on Institutional Cooperation, which pools research assets.
"I support the move largely because of what it means to the university academically," said William E. Kirwan, chancellor of the University System of Maryland. Kirwan has spent most of his career in Maryland, including a stint as the president at College Park, but he also served as president at Ohio State University in the Big Ten.
"There's nothing to match this level of academic collaboration in any other major conference," Kirwan said of the Big Ten consortium.
Long-term antidote?
The move is likely to be seen as a defining moment for Loh, who came to College Park two years ago from the University of Iowa, a Big Ten school. Loh inherited an athletic department in financial turmoil because of disappointing revenues in football and men's basketball and debt from a $50.8-million facelift to Byrd Stadium.
Program cuts were his short-term answer, but on Monday, Loh said the athletic department is still living "paycheck to paycheck." He described the move to the Big Ten as a long-term antidote.
Loh said he wasn't seriously considering a move when discussions with the Big Ten began more than two weeks ago. But as negotiations intensified, he said he was swayed by the prospect of protecting the university from painful program cuts for decades to come.
Asked which teams might be restored from men's and women's swimming, men's tennis, women's water polo, acrobatics and tumbling, men's cross country and men's indoor track, Anderson said he would reconvene the committee that reviewed the original program cuts and move from there.
The memory of cutting those teams weighed heavily on Anderson, who broke the news in dozens of face-to-face conversations with athletes. It helped drive the decision to find Maryland a more comfortable financial environment in the Big Ten.
Anderson and others also questioned whether the ACC had a strong enough football profile. Maryland had been among conference schools privately expressing interest in further expansion, according to ACC member representatives.
Approval for the conference move was not unanimous among the regents, who oversee the state university system. Regent Tom McMillen, a former Maryland basketball star, said he was troubled by the speed of negotiations on so large an issue.
"I was against it," McMillen said. "I felt there was no time for an opposing view. I felt a decision like this should have been made with more consultation and deliberation.
"The decision was all about money no matter how you sugarcoat it. I wanted to hear from athletes. I wanted to hear from the ACC."
A spokeswoman said Gov. Martin O'Malley was aware of negotiations with the Big Ten but left the decision to the university system.
Reaction was swift
As news of the possible move spread over the weekend, students, fans and alumni flocked to social media to express their distaste. A Facebook group called "Keep UMD in the ACC!" had almost 2,000 members by Monday afternoon.
Maryland sold out its lengthy tradition with the ACC, said James Booth, a junior from Hartsdale, N.Y.
"I don't put much stock in what [Wallace Loh] says anymore," he said. "I think he's a businessman. He makes the university money, or is trying to, which is a good thing in some aspects. But I really feel like he's, as far as the individual student experience, whether it be outside of athletics or within in terms of the whole ACC, it's all about the money to him."
The athletic benefits are most obvious in football, where Big 10 powers such as Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State draw some of the largest crowds in the sport and where Maryland's rivalries are less deep-seated.
Though Maryland football has traditionally struggled against the Big Ten, Anderson said he's confident that with new recruiting avenues open "we will be very competitive."
Men's basketball, by contrast, is where fans will feel the most acute pain as they cling to memories of classic games against North Carolina and Duke that brought the College Park campus to a frenzy. Though Indiana, Ohio State and Michigan State carry grand traditions in the sport, any sense of rivalry with Maryland will have to grow from the ground up.
The move also prompted concerns in lacrosse, where Maryland has built powerful men's and women's programs in part because of its rivalries with ACC schools such as North Carolina, Duke and the University of Virginia. The Big Ten has no equivalent powerhouses on the men's side and only Northwestern University on the women's side. "At first glance, it looks like a negative, because the ACC is the premiere conference in college lacrosse," said ESPN analyst Mark Dixon.
But the jump drew support from heavyweights such as Gary Williams, who played at Maryland and coached the school to its lone national championship in men's basketball. Williams also coached in the Big Ten at Ohio State and has served as an analyst for the Big Ten Network. "I think Maryland is looking at what's best for them for the future," Williams said in a Sunday interview.
Political leaders with ties to the university also endorsed the move. "I go to as many men's basketball games as I can and will miss the match-ups against teams like Duke and UNC," said Baltimore County Democratic Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, who played lacrosse at Maryland. "That said, I think this move will enable Maryland to stay competitive and generate the revenue needed to sustain a successful athletic program."
Sun reporters Michael Dresser, John Fritze, Don Markus and Rhiannon Walker contributed to this article.

Making the game
This game was incredibly fun to make. I am a fan of the original NES game and love its innovations and clever game design. But as we all know, Zelda games are long and complex. When starting this project I had to choose very carefully what I had time to accomplish if this game was ever to see the light of day. As a result I decided to remake the beginning of the game up to the end of the first boss. This seemed simple enough, but I knew it would be a challenge. This is the result of my learning programming for the first time and a labor of love making this game in 3D.
Stay on the path, you are safe there. Follow the path and enter the lone tile of woods. Pick up the money bag and exit (walk far enough from where to started to exit an area). Cross the desert to the little mountain. Inside, buy the meat. Walk toward the temple on the water and go to the mountains behind it to find another cave. Pick up the rupee. Fight a few enemies to gain at least 60 rupees. Go back to the desert shop and buy the Candle for 60. Head left from the shop as far as you can go to find the main Cave. (From the town you can see the cave). Now the cave should be illuminated and you can find the skeleton holding the key. (Hint: it is possible to find the key in the dark, saving you 60 rupees). Instead of heading to the Dungeon right away, walk all the way to the right to the edge of the water. On your right is a path to the secret Heart Piece. You really need this to survive the dungeon. Not only does it give you one more life square, it also halves damage you receive. Getting to the Heart piece you will need to cross some platforms. Try to diagonal jump (holding down forward and to the side) for bigger jumps. The last platform is a little farther away than the others so watch out. Once you have the Heart Piece, enter the dungeon.
The Dungeon:
Look up or down and press forward to use the elevators. Kill the first two Blobs then take the key. To fight the Stalfos (skeleton) walk at it and press shift to crouch. It is only vulnerable in the legs. While crouched you can still move slowly, but you need to be close enough to attack. Practice running and crouching and you can defeat the Stalfos without taking any damage. Continue through the locked door. Bubbles (flying skulls) have lots of hit points, but give you 20 rupees. Although annoying to kill, they are useful for getting lots of money. After this corridor, is a room with two Stalfos. Fight them one at a time. Don't go down the elevator yet. Go to the next room and fight one Blob and one Stalfos. If you touch the Fairy it's a one time heal, only use it if you have to. Go up the elevator close to the Fairy and get the Key. Go back to the room that had two Stalfos and go down the elevator. Cross the bridge (get the money bag) and kill the Blobs. To fight the Ironknuckle (knight) you can only hit it in the head. Jump at it and stab it in the head. Ummm... good luck. (See, I told you the Heart Piece is important). After you beat the Ironknuckle, get the Glove. With it you can break blocks. Go back to the Fairy and go up the elevator again. Now you can break the falling blocks and get the key. Go down the elevator to the very bottom. Break the blocks and defeat the two Stalfos. Unlock the door and fight the Ironknuckle. Now the next hallway leads to the final boss Horsehead. Don't fight him yet. At this point you should have almost 200 rupees. Go back to the room with all the Bubbles flying around and kill them until you have 200 rupees, or if you want extra help, get 250 rupees. Leave the Dungeon and go all the way back to the beginning area. Follow the path to the mountains past the mountain town. At the end of the path is the Wizard's shop. Buy the White sword for 200 rupees. If you have 50 rupees left or almost that amount, kill some more baddies and buy the Bottle from the desert shop for 50. The bottle heals you if your life drains to zero (one time use). Return to the Dungeon. Fight your way through the dungeon. It should be easier now. Use the Fairy just before the boss. Horsehead is the same as the Ironknuckles. Jump and attack him in the head. The bottle gets used automatically and if you take damage while its healing you, that damage will also heal making you temporarily invincible. Just don't let your life go all the way down to zero a second time or you'll die. Once Horsehead is no more, collect the key and place the gem in the statue. Congratulations, your done! The game doesn't force you to restart, so you can continue walking around. This is intended for people who did not get the Sword or other items and can now explore where to find them.
Changes from the original
The Caves: In the original these led to new areas or items that would be used later in the game. Since I wasn't planing on making those later areas I was left with three caves that no longer had a purpose. The idea to change them into shops from Zelda 1, I thought was a fun way to pay homage to the original game. Plus, they also served a purpose. Since I changed experience points into money, the game plays much more like the first game anyway.
Money: Leveling up was a huge departure from the norm in Zelda II. I still feel bad I didn't include it, but changing experience points into a currency just worked better for a short game. If I had the time to remake the whole game I'd definitely have a leveling up system.
Town: No towns. I know this must be disappointing to fans, but honestly, what do you do in the towns anyway? Making a large area with buildings populated by people that just walk around and have nothing to say, didn't seem like fun. So because I don't have infinite time and have to omit as much as I can, the towns never got made.
Magic: Again, no magic. The first two spells you get are shield and jump. Jump would be fun, and for a while I had it as a cheat code. But in some areas the player got stuck and it ultimately was a headache. Now there IS a shield magic, sort of. If you find the hidden heart piece it will level up your health and you will only take half damage.
Enemies: Bats? Moblins? Tinsuits? Well I had to pick and choose what enemies I had time to make (model, animate, program...) and some just had to go.
Locked Door in the Cave: Just a little extra puzzle I added, since the main item in the dungeon isn't the candle anymore. Hint: you can still get through the cave without the candle. (Only people who read this far down will know that 'o')
"Whats up with that cave?! It slows my computer down so much". I know... I temporarily went insane while making it and modeled every bump on every wall. You'll need a pretty powerful computer to have it run smoothly.
"The dungeon also slows down my computer". That is a legitimate complaint. I tried making it smoother, sometimes it runs well, and times it doesn't. I am still updating the game.
This is a fan game made by Michael A Johnston. The original game, characters, sounds, and design are copyright to NINTENDO 1986/1987. This game was not made for profit and is purely for the enjoyment of fans.
Special thanks to Danny Johnston, for helping me with problem solving and support.

Temple fires
Now I'm adding the last few touches that were still missing. Today I added colliders to the starting temple scene and also sprite fire. For a while I had realistic particle fire, but it never looked right. I was surprised how much more nostalgic the fire looked when I made it a simple sprite instead.

Healing Fairy
This was the last thing I had to model for my game. I left it for the end because it isn't very important but I didn't want to leave it out of the game.

Added flying rocks to the desert area. I don't want to put cactuses in this area because the Saguaro cactuses depicted in the original game are a stereotype of american western deserts and shouldn't be in a desert like this. This is a personal protest against incorrect facts. In Banjo-Kazooie the desert level had the wrong type of cactus for an egyptian desert. They obviously did no research or even bothered to google a picture of what a real desert looks like.

New Areas
This is a small platforming section in the game just before you reach the first heart piece. I've had this place in mind since the beginning, so I designed the the tile set of the cave to also work for these outdoor platforms. The entire cave and this scene only take up 540KB even though there are over 300,000 polygons on screen.

Intro Screen
I've recreated the intro screen from the game. Probably one of the best openings to a game on the NES. I'm still trying to figure out what sort of tricks I could do now that the scene is 3D. I experimented with letting the player walk around on the cliff and pick up the sword. But I don't think I'll have that in the final game. If I do it'll be an ester egg. hint, hint.

Lauren Conrad and William Tell have been happily dating since Valentine's Day, but it wasn't until October 5 that the couple made their first joint public appearance at the Third Annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in L.A.'s Pacific Palisades.
A stunning Conrad, who wore a self-designed Paper Crown dress, posed solo on the red carpet. She joined the University of Southern California law student, 32, inside the event, held at Will Rogers State Historic Park.
Tell was dressed to impress in navy slacks, a blue button-down and a polka dot bow-tie. "He dresses himself," a proud Conrad told Us Weekly.
The pair, who both hail from Orange County, "are very serious," a Conrad pal told Us in September. Another friend said Tell is different from the bad boys, like Jason Wahler and Doug Reinhardt, whom Conrad dated on The Hills. "He worships her."
Conrad, who fronts the Paper Crown and LC Lauren Conrad fashion lines, will release two new books October 16: the novel Starstruck and the lifestyle guide Lauren Conrad Beauty. Though she's about to embark on a nationwide promo tour, the ex-MTV reality star still finds time to pamper her man.
"For dinner, I make stuffed peppers," Conrad told Us. "Twelve at a time, and then I put them in the freezer!"

With apologies to Ben Franklin, the only things certain in life are death, taxes and that a Jerry Bruckheimer film will do its bombastic best to pummel, pound and, now, parkour you into submission. "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" is all that — deaths by the thousands and the sort of spectacular spectacle possible with a rumored budget of $150 million and change.
But it should be more.
I realize it's risky business to ask Bruckheimer for "more," but in a world where action trumps, well, everything, there should be more of those white-knuckle, gut-wrenching feelings churning around somewhere, and there aren't, even with the death-defying, street-style gymnastics of parkour in nearly every scene. I think it's because the movie's most special prince of Persia, Jake Gyllenhaal's Dastan, is just too pretty — you know even with betrayal in the air and barbarians at the gate, no one is going to mess with that face.
Loosely based on Jordan Mechner's video game and infused with 6th century Persian fables and fantasy, director Mike Newell dives right into the crowded middle of a dusty marketplace, where an orphan boy, the aforementioned Dastan, saves a friend from all the king's men.
He will eventually change the course of history too, but before he can do that, the boy (Will Foster) must run for his life, which turns into a mind-blowing leaping, bounding, tumbling primer in the seemingly impossible athletic aesthetic of parkour. It's dazzling to watch and even impresses the king (Ronald Pickup), who promptly plucks Dastan off the streets and adds him to the royal family, joining older brothers Tus (Richard Coyle) and Garsiv (Toby Kebbell) and uncle Nizam ( Ben Kingsley). With that, all the internecine pieces are in place for an ill wind to blow.
Whatever subtlety Newell has brought to his films thus far ("Donnie Brasco" and "Four Weddings and a Funeral" come to mind), he has shelved it for "Prince of Persia," though the writers Boaz Yakin, Doug Miro and Carlo Bernard most certainly had a hand. Sometimes the film suffers for it; when passion elicits laughs, you know things have gotten off track. But at other times it's just silly fun, particularly with Sheik Amar, Alfred Molina's tax-resisting renegade, with his illegal ostrich races, his black market double-dealing and his tax tirades (between this and "Robin Hood," you would think Hollywood was run by the "tea party").
With Molina providing comic relief, the rest of the story gets serious about the future of Persia, to say nothing of mankind. That is never an easy task, and "Prince of Persia" is no exception. There's a holy city the brothers have breeched on a bad weapons-trading tip, an angry king, an inside traitor (and no doubt an inside trader or two), an assassination, a secret killing crew and a very feisty princess (Gemma Arterton).
Princess Tamina, who rules the holy city that the princes seized, is also the guardian of a secret mystery, the sands of time, which really come in handy in a pinch. As does Arterton's performance, a balance of passion, beauty and high spirits that in many scenes saves the day.
At the heart of the race and chase of the movie is a magical dagger. It has a nifty ruby red jewel to push "in case of emergency" that uses the mythical sand to transport whomever is holding it into a shape-shifting electrical storm that sends them back a minute or so to undo whatever bad deeds have been done. But as we all know from reading fairy tales and watching cable, powerful devices in the wrong hands make for major problems.
This being a story from olden times, the weapons of mass destruction are a zillion different kinds of sharp, pointy things that are constantly clipping ears, arms and heads, and embedding themselves in chests. The villains who wield most of them also dabble in dark arts and have killer snakes with magical powers that are so lame that they seem like Halloween leftovers at Wal-Mart.
Still, respect must be paid for all the many things the production designers, the effects specialists and the stunt guys did right. Framed by the exquisite eye of director of photography John Seale, who won an Oscar for "The English Patient," they work together to create a visually mesmerizing display. It's like two hours of July 4th fireworks, only with flying swords and sandstorms, and raging battles and mystical palaces rising out of the desert.
Shifting sands are the perfect place for heroes and villains to lose their footing, and there are many who stumble and fall as Dastan fights the good fight and falls in love. Which brings us back to the conundrum of Gyllenhaal.
He has proved himself a fine actor, with his closet cowboy in "Brokeback Mountain" still his defining moment. In Prince Dastan, he is supposed to be that heady mix of street smarts, roguish charm and barroom moxie with the noble heart of a lion underneath. It's a lot to ask and turns out to be something more than he can deliver. There's just a frothiness to Gyllenhaal that he can't seem to suppress — it even lurks behind Dastan's sneer — and it never fails to take the edge off. Too bad. That leaves us with a prince in need, when what we really need is prince indeed.

Bathroom Lighting is a crucial element of a good design simply because it is part of our daily rituals — grooming, shaving, applying makeup … the list goes on. And, we've all seen what bad lighting can do — harsh light and unflattering shadows do not make for pretty faces!
So, to help make sure your bathroom is fully loaded with the best lighting design possible, Lightology is sharing a few bathroom lighting How To's, as well as a find the Right Bathroom Light Sale until February 28th to help make fixing up your bathroom lighting a little easier on your wallet.
Bathroom Lighting starts with one simple idea: Think in Layers.
Task Lighting is best for highlighting a specific area, like a piece of art, a countertop, or in the bathroom, your face!
To achieve the ideal quality of light for grooming, shaving and applying makeup, you must eliminate shadows on the face. When using Wall Sconces, install two wall sconces on each side of your mirror, at least 30″ apart. The brightest portion of the wall sconce should be aligned with the face, or approximately 60-66″ above the floor. You can also follow these same guidelines using Pendants for a more modern look. See an example of pendants in the bathroom.
General Light helps balance light output from all fixtures in the room while giving you diffuse, even light that illuminates the entire bathroom.
To fill your entire bathroom with diffuse, general light, a ceiling light, like the Boxie or the Mint Round or Mint Square will do the trick. However, a ceiling light by itself leaves you with too much glare and shadows for a bathroom. Make sure to complement these fixtures with additional sources of light to accomplish a layered, shadow-free bathroom.
Accent Lighting adds eye-catching, dramatic light to a space but can also perform a practical task. For example, a toe kick light can also double as a path light — making middle-of-the-night bathroom trips easier and safer!
Cove lighting and toe kick lighting are fantastic ways to add general light that is also eye-catching and dramatic. LED Soft Strip is an energy-efficient way to create this dramatic look.

On Oct. 12 and 13, wheat could have been sold for $3.58 per bushel. After subtracting three cents per bushel per month storage and 4 percent per year interest, the net price for wheat sold on Oct. 12 or 13 was $3.45. The central Oklahoma and Texas panhandle June 20, 2005, price was $3.17.
The following prices quoted are the cash price minus storage ($0.001 per day) and interest ($0.0001 per day). Storage and interest costs were assumed to start on June 20.
Between June 20 and Aug. 17, wheat prices ranged between $3.17 and $2.99. Prices peaked on Aug. 29, fell back to $3.14 on Sept. 8 and the increased to $3.42 by Sept. 23. Prices ranged between $3.36 and $3.45 between Sept. 23 and Oct. 17. Since Oct. 18, wheat prices have ranged between $3.14 and $3.36.
The single best time to sell wheat was between mid-September and mid-October when prices were between $3.30 and $3.45.
Marketing strategies that may have been used to sell 2005 harvested wheat were to sell all wheat at harvest, store and sell in October, store and sell in November, sell in one-third lots in June, October and November or sell the wheat and buy call option contracts to offset the cash sale.
Of these, the single best strategy would have been to sell in mid-October for $3.36. Selling all the wheat at harvest netted $3.17. Selling in one-third units in June, October and November netted $3.25 and selling in November netted $3.22.
Selling all wheat at harvest and buying an "at the money" KCBT December wheat call option contracts netted $3.03 per bushel. The problem with selling and buying call option contracts was that 14 cents of the price increase was due to the basis increasing and the KCBT December call option premium was 25 cents.
Before harvest, the market offered two opportunities to "lock in" a price greater than $3.15 per bushel. For 10 days in mid-September 2004, and for six days in mid-March, wheat could have been forward contracted for $3.15 or higher.
Wheat prices have been on a small "roller coaster" with cash prices, before storage and interest, ranging between $2.99 and $3.58. Currently, the cash price is $3.40 before storage and interest and $3.25 after.
High corn stocks and low corn prices will limit wheat price increases. Relatively tight world and U.S. wheat stocks will result in volatile wheat prices.
Unless Argentina or Australia's wheat production is less than expected, cash wheat prices should continue to trade between $3.30 and $3.50. After storage and interest, the range is expected to be between $3.15 and $3.35.
World and U.S. wheat stocks are tight enough that if problems occur with the 2005 U.S. winter wheat crop, prices will dramatically increase. Expect a "weather market" in later winter and early spring of 2005.

May 2013 Nuts & Bolts - Tech QuestionsPosted in How To on May 1, 2013
Nuts, I'm Confused
Escape the Inner Circle
Q I have a question about U-joint repair. In the Nov. '10 story "Universal How-To" you show how to repair U-joints with external snap rings. I have an '01 Dodge 2500 with a Cummins diesel. I am trying to install a "Spyn Tec " unit bearing replacement kit on the front axle. The stub shafts have internal snap rings, so how do you remove the bearings?
Via email@example.com
A The inner snap ring on an axle U-joint cap isn't too hard to remove, but it depends on the type of snap ring you have.
Most factory joints have a C-clip. This is a snap ring that isn't a complete circle, but just a "C." Often these have the outer edge of the axle joint yoke machined so that the clip doesn't go all the way around the U-joint cap. I have found that removing these is done with a pick, small strong flathead screwdriver, or small punch or chisel.
Most of the aftermarket steering axles have "full circle C-clips" for the U-joint caps. These will require snap ring pliers to spread the clip and then slide it down toward the cross of the U-joint. As you spread the snap ring you may also need to get that small flathead screwdriver under it to help get it away from the axle yoke.
Once the snap rings are off you can press or tap the U-joints out. One method is to hit the one yoke while the other is secured in a vise. I have also used a socket the size of the U-joint cap to hit against with a good sized hammer. Care should be taken to keep all the needle bearings within the cap during disassembly and reassembly.
Finally, there may come a point where the cap is sticking out and you need to grab it with a set of Channel Lock pliers to twist it out the last little bit. Be careful not to scar the cap or else you won't be able to reuse it.
This is a good question and only really requires simple handtools to do the job, but it may seem daunting if you've never done it before. I'm awarding you a gift certificate from Off-Road Power Products for sending in the Nut's, I'm Confused letter of the month. Off-Road Power Products has an online store with a variety of great truck and 4x4 products from Jeep stuff to fullsize off-roaders. Check it out at www.offroadpowerproducts.com.
Q I am interested in installing an overdrive in my truck. I am currently building a '70 Chevy K10. It has a well-built 327, a four-speed manual, an NP205, a Dana 60 front with a 14-bolt out back with a disc brake conversion, 35-inch BFG MTs, and crossover steering. I'm building it into a basic do-everything-well trail truck. It will be about a 50/50 split for on- and off-road use. Some 4.56 gears and lockers are in the works as well. I want to keep the four-speed for its simplicity and strength.
I am interested in the Gear Vendors overdrive or the Advance Adapters Ranger overdrive unit. I want to know which one would be the better choice for my setup and intended use. I drive pretty hard and don't want something that will puke its guts out on the trail. I also intend on towing trailers. Now I know that you guys might recommend just doing an NV4500 conversion, but I want to be able to split gears and basically have an eight-speed.
L. Rockwell
Toston, MT
A I have personal experience with the Ranger overdrive, and I like it for a few reasons. You can use it while the vehicle is in four-wheel drive, unlike the Gear Vendors. It is compact and proven with nearly 50 years of use. It is simple to install with a GM four-speed—I assume you are using the SM465. It does have one major downfall and that is gear whine. I can hear it spinning while driving my open-top M-37, so be warned that if you are annoyed by the sound of your truck doing cool stuff like cruising down the highway then you may not like this gearbox. Advance Adapters (www.advanceadapters.com) does only rate it to 420 lb-ft also, so keep that in mind if you are building a big engine. I assume your 327 would be fine.
The Gear Vendors (www.gearvendors.com) unit bolts onto the back of the 205 so it can only be used in two-wheel drive. It cost twice as much as the Ranger. Gear Vendors claims that its overdrive has lived behind 850hp desert racing trucks.
A third option you may want to consider is raising your axle gears to a numerically lower number like 4.10. You'll have the granny First gear to help get moving on the street, and when matched with the 35s you shouldn't be winding up the rpm's on the highway. Then add a doubler like a 203/205 to your transfer case, and this will give you lower gears for when you need it off-road. Of course, this doesn't help when you want to split gears, but it is another option to consider.
16.5 Dead or Alive?
Q I am building a '91 GMC 1-ton Crew Cab 4x4 V3500 (square body) single-rear-wheel truck. It has a factory 454, a 4L80E, a Dana 60 front, and a 14-bolt rear. A 12-inch lift and crossover steering are being installed, and it's time to find some wheels and tires. I wanted to run 16.5x14 rims with 40-inch tires, but it looks like 16.5 rims and tires are going the way of the dinosaur. I like the look of the 17- to 22-inch wheels, but I don't want to spend $3,000 on tires every time I need a new set. Are 16.5 tires going to be available for the next 20 years? Should I step down to 15x14s? Or should I just suck it up and get some dubs so I have more tire options in the future?
Mike E.
Henderson, NC
A Sorry, Mike, I would suggest you get a set of 17-inch wheels. The 15s and 16.5s are slowly disappearing. I'm not saying they won't be around for 20 more years, but 17s are much easier to find and offer a greater selection of tires. If you find a set of 16.5s cheap I'd run 'em, but 17s and larger are definitely the future. Don't waste your time trying to fit the 15s over your big brakes; it's not worth it. I don't care for the look of 20s or 22s, but that's just me. I think the selection of off-road tires is larger in 17s or 20s.
I also don't think you need a 14-inch-wide wheel for 40-inch tires. Most 40s are a 13.50 or 14.50 wide, and these are fine on a 10- to 12-inch wheel per most manufacturers. I run 40s on a 17x8.5 beadlock all the time with no issues.
One suggestion I would recommend is find a wheel with about 5 inches of backspacing. This will help reduce the stress on your bearings by reducing your scrub radius.
Stoppit Scout!
Q My dad has a '63 International Scout 800. It's stock except for some aluminum wheels I bought for him to get rid of the stock steel wheels and rotted bias-ply tires. He wants me to make it into a good summer driver that he can take hunting or a cruise to the mountains. The problem is the brakes are shot and it has drums on the front, and because of that it has been parked for six years. I can't really source front brake parts or disc conversion. Is there a set of axles I could swap in it to get newer better brakes? What are the best build options for me? Any other suggestions for the Scout would be much appreciated!
Greg L.
Alberta, Canada
A I recently put a disc brake conversion on my '64 Jeep Forward Control. It also had a drum brake Dana 44, and the kit I got was from R&P 4WD (
Dualie Dana?
Q I have an '87 four door 1-ton that I am building up for wheeling. I plan on lifting it 12 inches and running 44s. It has a Dana 60 front end with the adapter-type hubs for the dualie-style wheels, and I have another 60 under a buggy that has the single wheel hub. The one under the '87 is in much better shape. Can I just take the hubs off each one and put the single wheel style back on the '87? Or would I also have to change spindles, axles, and so on? I am not sure of the year of the single-wheel 60; I think mid to late '70s. Any info is greatly appreciated.
Via firstname.lastname@example.com
A Yes, most likely you can swap the single wheel hubs onto the dualie axle and retain the spindle and bearings from the '87 axle if they are both from a Chevy. The dualie hubs are handy for use with Hummer-style beadlocks as well. The adapters help align the wheels since they have such a large amount of backspacing, so that is another option for keeping the dualie hubs if you have not yet bought your wheels for your 44-inch tires. Those Hummer wheels are heavy and only come in a 16.5, so they are not perfect, but they are pretty good and can be found at many military surplus outlets.
I have also seen people machine down the dualie hubs and make them into single wheel hubs, but you have to have a lathe and the know-how. To be 100 percent sure, I would look up the bill of material (BOM) number on your axle (it is usually stamped in the long side axletube), and then call a major axle supply house like Randy's Ring & Pinion (www.ringpinion.com), Drive Train Specialists (www.drivetrainspecialists.com), or West Coast Differentials (www.differentials.com) to verify that each axle has parts you can cross over.

This course explores embedded system development on the BF533 STAMP. The STAMP as used in this course has uClinux as its resident operating system (OS). This is a stripped down Linux appropriate for embedded systems. Our particular version is for the Analog Devices ADSP-BF533 Blackfin.
The course is intended for those who are familiar with the C programming language, the Linux OS, and who have interest in learning about embedded systems development. The course is less appropriate for embedded systems gurus; although, the early portion of the course can serve to introduce the STAMP/uClinux target.
The course is organized as a hands on experience and the participants will:
The development environment consists of these elements
Let's look at each of these elements, in turn, starting with the target. The target hardware for this course is the STAMP, a processor board with various resources. For our discussion at this point, we just mention a few:
The second element of the development environment is the workstation. It is essentially a linux box which should have
This is, then, a rather typical Linux box. The CD ROM capability is needed to access the files which come on a CD shipped with the STAMP board. This contains the development tools, called tool chains. Note that it will be typical (but not necessary) that the workstation has an Intel derived CPU. In our case the target will be the Analog Devices Blackfin ADSP BF533 Processor, definitely not Intel. Hence, the toolchains comprise a cross compilation tool set. It is of particular interest that the target OS is Linux, as is that of the development workstation, despite the different CPU's. Of course, the target OS is a very stripped down Linux. The virtue of the open source nature of Linux is apparent - it can be modified appropriately for its host. The third and last element of the development environment is the interconnection between the workstation and the target. There are potentially two such connections:
Let's consider the serial connection. The workstation, running a terminal emulator (we later assume minicom), becomes the target's terminal. When power is applied (or the STAMP reset button pressed) the STAMP boots into the 'Bootloader', essentially a system monitor with a set of commands to which it will respond. Among these commands, available before booting into uClinux, are:
At the completion of the boot/initialization of uClinux it presents a login prompt. In summary, the workstation can issue commands to the Bootloader and, once uClinux boots, the workstation becomes the Linux terminal. During or subsequent to the uClinux boot, the Ethernet capability is brought up. The appropriate work area on the workstation can be mounted via nfs, integrating that work area with the uClinux file hierarchy.
Upon getting a system, many of us want to get it up and running immediately, despite not understanding all the relevant details. That is the purpose of this section. Here we intend to configure and deploy the three elements of our development system. Recall that these elements are
We'll discuss these elements throughout this chapter and end up with a development environment that is ready for productive work. Note that there are relevant, useful (somewhat interrelated) web sites supporting this setup:
1. Connect the serial port to your host computer from the STAMP board.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to your local network from the STAMP board.
3. Start a terminal emulation program (Minicom or HyperTerminal) on your host computer. From the configuration menu set the serial port connection for:
4. Connect the DC power input and power up the board.
5. After the STAMP board powers up you should see a U-Boot start-up screen on your terminal window. At this stage if you allow the boot timer to count down the board will load the uClinux kernel out of flash and boot the kernel and you will be brought to the command shell.
Troubleshooting: If you don't see any text on the screen make sure that you have properly connected power to the board (the power LED should be on) and make sure a correct straight through serial cable is being used. If the screen text is corrupted, check the serial port connection baud rate settings.
1. Install the binutils and GCC tools on your machine (as root):
bash# rpm -ivh bfin-elf-3.4-beta.i386.rpm
2. In user mode export the path for the tools
bash> export PATH=/opt/uClinux/bfin/bin:$PATH
The toolchain can also be compiled from source by executing the build script that is located in the scripts directory. Extract all of the files to a local directory as well as the build script and modify the script to point to your directory structure. After the script has executed, export the path to point to your new tool chain output directory.
bunzip2 uClinux-dist.tar.bz2 tar -xvf uClinux-dist.tar
Now that the kernel is uncompressed in the work directory you are now ready to start building your own uClinux kernel for the Blackfin processor.

The nominating period for Burbank's February primary election closed Friday, with six candidates running for three City Council seats, four running for two school board seats, three for city clerk and one for city treasurer.
The City Council candidates include Juan Guillen, David Nos, Robert Frutos and the three incumbents — Jess Talamantes, David Gordon and Dave Golonski, according to the city clerk's office.
While the incumbents have touted their municipal experience, the three challengers said they would tackle council issues with fresh eyes and ears.
A former Marine who served in Iraq, Guillen currently runs an insurance agency and payroll company — True Integrity Insurance Services — in Burbank with his mother.
"I think we need a change in leadership," Guillen said. "Someone who's passionate about the community, who wants to serve selflessly."
Frutos, a 26-year LAPD police officer and former Burbank police commissioner, is taking a second stab at a seat on the council. In 2011, he was edged out by Councilwoman Emily Gabel-Luddy by 86 votes.
Firmly against "mansionization" and runaway development that would increase traffic, Frutos' priorities include preserving parks, libraries and community services.
Nos, a 56-year Burbank resident and former Burbank school board member, touts his experience running — and sustaining through the recession — a local printing and email management business.
"Business tends to make you a little more conservative because you're always watching the bottom lines. I think that's a really strong point to bring to the City Council," Nos said.
Over the summer, Nos applied for the vacant school board seat, but was not appointed.
Gordon, who is serving his seventh year on the council, feels he's been able to build community confidence over the years.
Issues the city will face in the near future — retail and airport development, the high cost of renewable energy, changes in city management — will require "new and fresh approaches" that he can provide, he said.
"There's a voice for the people on the council in me," Gordon said.
Twenty-year council veteran Golonski's goals include implementing a sound fiscal policy and investing in the city's infrastructure by repairing city streets.
Talamantes, a former firefighter who is finishing his first term on the council, said his priorities include economic development and balancing the budget.
"One of my major goals is to try to get new businesses in Burbank and maintain the businesses we have in Burbank," he said.
Running for the two Burbank school board seats are incumbent Larry Applebaum, David Dobson, Armond Aghakhanian and Steve Ferguson.
Since school board member John Dilibert — who was appointed to the position in August — chose not to run, the nomination period for his seat has been extended until 5 p.m. Wednesday.
"There are people that are intimidated to run against the incumbent," said Deputy City Clerk Susan Domen, adding that would-be candidates may change their minds once they learn an incumbent isn't vying for the position.
The extension "provides them the opportunity to do so," she said.
Three are vying for city clerk, including incumbent Zizette Mullins — who was appointed to the position by the City Council in June — Nonna von Sonn and Gloria Salas.
For city treasurer, incumbent appointment Debbie Kukta is the sole candidate.

Roast Chicken with Cornbread and Sausage Stuffing Recipe
Cooking projects for people who'd like nothing more than to spend a sunday afternoon surrounded by the wonderful aromas of the kitchen.
Note: Store-bought cornbread can be used in place of the homemade. If using store-bought, skip step 2.
Read more: Sunday Supper: Roast Chicken with Cornbread and Sausage Stuffing
- Yield:serves 4 to 6
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:2 hours (plus overnight for the brine)
- For the Brine:
- 2 quarts cold water
- 1/2 cup table salt or 3/4 cup kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 12 black peppercorns
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 chicken (about 4 pounds)
- For the Cornbread: (see note)
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- For the Stuffing:
- 1 pound bulk sausage (casing removed if necessary)
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium store-bought or homemade chicken stock
- 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the Brine: Bring a quarter of water, salt, sugar, black pepper, bay leaves and lemon to a simmer in a large stockpot. Add remaining cold water. Place chicken in a large pot or bowl and cover with chilled brine. Weight down with a plate to submerge. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or up to overnight.
For the Cornbread (see note): Adjust oven rack to lower middle position and preheat oven to 425°F. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl whisk together vegetable oil, milk and egg. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and mix until well combined and pour into prepared baking pan. Bake until just beginning to brown, about 25 minutes. Turn oven down to 375[°].
Once cornbread is cooked carefully remove from pan and cool on a rack for 20 minutes. Cut into 2-inch cubes and spread on a baking sheet. Bake until dry and beginning to brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and set aside.
For the Stuffing: Crumble sausage and cook in a medium skillet over medium-high heat stirring frequently and breaking up sausage with a wooden spoon until no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Add shallot and continue to cook until shallots are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes longer. Remove from pan and reserve.
When ready to stuff the chicken remove from brine and rinse under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
In a large bowl combine cornbread, sausage mixture, half of parsley and chicken stock and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Stuff cornbread stuffing into chicken (it may not all fit—you can bake the rest separately). Using two pieces of kitchen twine truss chicken by tying bird once around the wings, and then once around legs securing the ends of the drumsticks together. Place on a rack in a baking sheet and roast until center of stuffing, as well as between leg and body reaches 155°F, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with remaining parsley

Greg5 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 108 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
Premiere Onboard
Just a young guy trying to make his dream become reality!
For the last 2 years I have been working for a small recruiting company only to find out that the owner was stealing money and ended up leaving me high and dry in the end :(
No Worries!
I am good at what I do and it is time to show the world. I am all but finished with getting my own company up and running....just missing the logo!
Premiere Onboard is a small recruitment company that focuses on sales opportunities across all industries. The culture I bring is young & hip with a real sense of maturity & professionalism.
I want to appeal to entry level college grads and executive level employers looking for their next CEO.
I am honest, energetic and dive 200% into everything i do.
Can you help me? (I know someone can!)
I want to appeal to business sales professionals of all ages.
The most important aspect is to come across as a new, young and creative company yet still appear to be old school in value and professional
Try imagining a 24 year old 2 years removed from college combined with a 40 year old successful business person.
Company Name doesn't have to be a part of the logo. A memorable symbol with the name next to it would be just fine.
I want a company to see the logo and remember me and the company because of it (obviously).
I am open to anything at this point. I would like it to somehow involve the word "onboard" and/or something representing "recruiting".
Feel free to be creative, but simple is the key.
I know I didn't say too much, but if I knew how to be artistically creative, I would do it myself! lol
Thank you all for the help!
Best Regards,

Rail Trails in Marion County
MCTRAIL and the Meredith Tunnel
The Pricketts Fort Trailhead is located on the north end of MCTRAIL. The name MCTRAIL comes from the reference to the "Marion County Trail" which is what it was referred to. It was the first rail trail in North-Central West Virginia.
In 1989, the Marion County Parks and Recreation Commission (MCPARC) took ownership of the 125 acres of Monongahela Railroad property. The trail was completed from Pricketts Fort to the corner of Winfield Street and Morgantown Avenue in 1993. The 1200 foot long Meredith Tunnel has had restoration to its condition in 1914. The southern trailhead was completed in the fall of 2004 and the northern trailhead completed in 2008 with most of the work being done by MCPARC staff.
In 2001, it was determined that a 650 foot "Connector Trail" would be appropriate to better provide a path from the trailhead to the Mon River Trail. The MRTC, MCPARC, Marion County Commission, and "Friends of the Trail Project" began the goal of obtaining the land needed and worked to build the "Connector Trail."
West Fork River Trail
In 1860, the B&O Railroad Company acquired the corridor and developed the tracks in 1890. In July of 1995, MCPARC acquired the track area between Shinnston and Fairmont.
Trail work began during the winter of 119 and the trail opened in 1997 while improvements continued.Improvements continue to this day, which include the paving of the Marion County section and trailhead development. In 1999, the Marion County Commission added the name "Ralph S. LaRue Trail" in honor of the MCPARC director responsible for development.
