The White Lightning Mazda RX-7 has pretty much led all day, and the Lightning McQueen Jetta has been filling its rear-view mirror the whole time... but a G-Body Chevy Monte Carlo in third?
That's right, the Molde Carlo, which spent most of the last race in a billion pieces in the pits (various brake, transmission, and engine ailments), has been quietly racking up laps and avoiding penalties, and it now sits just 8 laps behind the leader. If that's not surprise enough for you, check out the Black Sheep Racing Nissan 300ZX, which has stayed alive long after almost all the other Zs have blown up and/or crashed and will start the day tomorrow in fifth place. Remember, out of the dozens of Zs that have raced in LeMons, the most successful placed 8th overall (and, yes, this is one of the two Nissan Zs that have placed 8th).
2nd place: Lightning McQueen, Volkswagen Jetta
3rd place: Molde Carlo, Chevrolet Monte Carlo
4th place: Flying Purple People Eater, Mazda RX-7
5th place: Black Sheep Racing, Nissan 300ZX

The jobs picture is finally starting to brighten: The number of job listings is on the rise, companies are making hiring announcements and more hiring managers say they plan to hire full-time workers in 2011 than in the past two years.
"We're seeing encouraging signs that a recovery is underway," said Rony Kahan, the co-founder and chief technology officer of job-listing site Indeed.com.
Twenty-four percent of hiring managers said they plan to hire full-time workers in 2011, up from 20 percent this year and 14 percent in 2009, according to a recent survey by CareerBuilder.com.
One obvious sign that hiring is picking up: The number of job listings for recruiters, the people who do the hiring, is up 20 percent in the past six months, according to Indeed.com.
And, in their latest Industry Employment Trends Survey, all 12 of the major industries they track showed at least 30 percent more job postings in November from January and eight of those industries were 50 percent or more.
So where are the jobs? Click through to see six of the industries with the biggest pickup in hiring, which companies are doing the most hiring in those sectors, and some of the positions they're looking for.

Engineering companies like Chicago Bridge & Iron and their shareholders are salivating at the prospect of more U.S. natural gas exports as regulators begin to sign off on the plants needed to move gas abroad.
Last month's approval of Freeport LNG Development's liquid natural gas (LNG) project in Texas indicates more will come, and analysts expect maybe five or six will be built.
Continue Reading Below
CB&I did the front-end engineering and design for Freeport and is seen as the outfit to beat, given its long track record building terminals to import LNG - before the shale gas bonanza reversed the U.S. natural gas equation. Even Warren Buffett has taken notice: Berkshire Hathaway recently became the top shareholder with a 6.1 percent stake.
Rick Scott, chief investment officer at wealth manager L&S Advisors, increased its CB&I holding last quarter by 10 times to 88,528 shares, or 2.4 percent of its $218 million portfolio. "These guys have know-how, and they've been there first," he said. "Others have talked, but they're going to play catch-up."
Manufacturers with a stake in cheaper gas have lobbied against exports, but gas producers are suffering from a glut from the shale boom that even official U.S. estimates say will only grow in the decades ahead.
So the engineers are stepping in to build infrastructure to ship LNG to more profitable markets.
This is seen as good news for engineering companies broadly because many contractors will be needed for all the projects: CB&I and rivals Fluor Corp and KBR Inc all rose 4 percent when Freeport got a nod from the U.S. Energy Department.
DoE approval is needed for gas exports to countries without free-trade deals, or everywhere except several mostly smaller nations in the Middle East and Latin America, as well as Canada and Australia - who are gearing up to export LNG themselves.
CB&I has worked on U.S. LNG import terminals at Elba Island, Georgia, and Golden Pass, Texas. It built the first LNG tank in 1958, at Lake Charles, Louisiana - where an export terminal is next up for DoE approval - and did the front-end work at Cove Point, Maryland, due to be okayed after that.
Over the past year, CB&I shares have outperformed rivals. After its $3 billion purchase of rival engineering firm Shaw Group in February, CB&I rose to the No. 2 spot among U.S.-listed engineers by the value of its project queue, after Fluor. The stock is up 57 percent in the past year, or about double that of KBR and Fluor.
Chase Jacobson, analyst at William Blair, said CB&I expected Freeport to determine whether it hits the low or high end of its estimated $13 billion to $16 billion of 2013 awards. "Freeport could be at least $3 billion for them." Doing the front-end engineering and design on projects often leads to winning the whole thing.
Much of the work will be awarded in the next two years, with CB&I executives telling investors at a Credit Suisse conference that more than $70 billion is lined up globally for LNG in 2014 and 2015. CB&I is taking a close look at bidding on 14 projects.
CB&I shares have retreated to $58.09 from a record $64.89 in May as analysts anticipate a cautious pace of permitting even after Freeport.
But CB&I could trade at $71.61, according to Thomson Reuters StarMine's intrinsic value model, which considers analysts' estimates for five years and projects that over a longer period.
CB&I did not respond to a request for comment.
RBC Capital Markets, considering other potential winners of the "dawn for North American LNG," pointed to British engineer Kentz Corp for its work with CB&I on Chevron Corp's Australian LNG megaproject, Gorgon.
The United States is not alone in looking to satisfy LNG demand. In Canada, KBR won front-end engineering and design contracts for two new plants in British Columbia: the Kitimat terminal - being built by Chevron and Apache Corp - and one backed by Malaysia's Petronas.
Exxon Mobil Corp just became the latest to seek a British Columbia LNG export license.
In Australia, the biggest market for LNG plants so far, work went to various firms including Bechtel, Jacobs Engineering , KBR and Fluor. Yet opportunities appear to be drying up there because of cost over-runs and the looming North American competition.
Speculation now swirls around how many LNG projects U.S. regulators will allow. More than 20 have been proposed.
"Where's the level at which too many exports would increase the price domestically?" said Deb Palmer of law firm Schiff Hardin, who has worked on the issue. "It's a fine line that the regulators are trying to draw."
Analysts say the DoE will consider the export applications in the order they received them, and timing will influence who lands contracts with key Japanese and Korean buyers over the rest of this decade.
"There is a finite market demand for LNG in that time frame," said Deepa Poduval at the management consulting arm of engineering firm Black & Veatch. "So there's a race to market."

text: Mike Singletary is the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers. He was a second-round pick of the Chicago Bears in 1981, a seemingly undersized linebacker from Baylor who was selected to a Bears-record 10 straight Pro Bowls beginning in 1983. Behind perhaps the greatest defensive line in franchise history (Richard Dent, Dan Hampton, Steve McMichael, William Perry), Singletary was twice named NFL defensive player of the year and was selected to the NFL Team of the Eighties by the Hall of Fame Board of Selectors. Singletary missed just two games in his 12 NFL seasons, all with the Bears and was selected as the NFL Man of the Year in 1990 for his combined excellence and performance on and off the field. Considered by coordinator Buddy Ryan to be one of the great students of the game and the Bears' defense, Singletary was briefly considered by Dick Jauron for an assistant's position with the Bears but was not hired and eventually became defensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers.

1993 Ford Mustang LX - My Muscle Mustang
Spotlight on Your Ride
1993 LX Mustang • Paul Lauzon • Tiverton, Ontario
The first car I ever bought was a used '86 V-6 Mustang for college transportation back when I was into motorcycles. In the summer of 1993, after my second year of college, everything changed. I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident, which cost me the use of my right arm and the possibility of ever riding a motorcycle again.
At that time, I didn't know much about Mustangs. But after a short while, I started buying Mustang magazines (including MM&FF) and quickly learned what the Mustang was—a great American icon with an exciting history behind it. The articles caught my attention and the Mustang stole my heart. I quickly learned how much potential Mustangs have and my brain kicked into "project mode." I needed to replace the rush I used to get on two wheels.
My '86 Mustang unfortunately ended up totaled in a car accident and was replaced with an '87 four-cylinder that was intended to become a race car. Canadian weather and time were it's demise, and that one too was sold off. I eventually bought a '88 5.0L parts car and a '89 5.0L LX coupe (my first coupe). The '89 became a "street fighter" project that was a very slow build. By the time the project reached chassis preparations, it too was affected by Canadian rust, so it was parted out and scrapped.
I finally gave up on a Canadian chassis and purchased a perfectly clean, solid '93 four-cylinder LX coupe from North Carolina. I had it shipped to Canada, stripped it bare, then restored, modified, and painted to perfection. I eventually handed my coupe over to Steeda.ca out of Milton, Ontario, for the final assembly process. Once there, I had the crew install a 347ci stroker, built by Kirk at Ajax Racing Engines.
In the summer of 2011, 18 years after my motorcycle accident, I began racing in the Ontario Street Car Association (OSCA) at Toronto Motorsports Park Cayuga. I started with the 10.90 index class and ran the full season. I also ran in my first-ever annual Canadian Street Car Nationals (CSCN) event, held by DaSilva Racing that summer. I chose to run in Open Comp for that event, and even made it to the semifinals through six rounds of eliminations.
I only participated in a few Open Comp races in 2012, and this past season, I was unable to make it to every race. I did manage to make it back to the CSCN, where I decided to chase my very first 9-second pass. Unfortunately, after a couple wheel-hanging 10.07 passes, I lost oil pressure at the top end of a run and had to park it for the remainder of the season.
The factory stock 5.0L block finally split with the 660hp tune, but luckily no other internal damage. I plan to rebuild it with a Dart Iron Eagle race block, bump up displacement to 363 ci, raise the compression ratio to 13:1, use 110 race gas, and upgrade the camshaft from a 6,300-rpm hydraulic setup to a 7,300 rpm solid-lifter setup for my next season of racing. My next goal is to run in the 9.90 index, and eventually even move up to the 8.90 index.

text: London - James Anderson believes England will have to be patient as never before if they are to maintain their world No 1 Test ranking against a South Africa side who are masters of playing under pressure.South Africa will replace England at the top of the International Cricket Council (ICC) rankings if they emerge victorious in a three-Test series that gets underway at The Oval here on Thursday.Both sides boast arguably the world's two best pace attacks, with Anderson leading an England line-up that includes the likes of Stuart Broad.South Africa are set to give the new ball to Dale Steyn, officially the world's leading Test bowler and a genuine quick whose record stands in comparison with some of the game's all-time greats.Steyn is set to be supported by paceman Morné Morkel and Vernon Philander, who in just seven Tests has already taken a staggering 51 wickets while a further seam bowling option is provided by veteran all-rounder Jacques Kallis.Meanwhile the Proteas' batting order boasts four players in the world's top 10 and England spearhead Anderson told Sky Sports: "It's going to be a huge challenge."The last couple of times South Africa have been over here they've played really well and beaten us. Both attacks have shown in the last 18 months that they are strong units. I think it'll be a good battle."It's going to be really important that our bowling attack's on top form because their batting unit's really strong."I see they've got six key wickets, they've got such a strong batting line-up that every wicket's crucial. They've got some great players in there and we're going to have to be on the top of our game."We're looking forward to it, we like testing ourselves against the best in the world and there's four of their guys in the top 10, so it should be a good challenge."South Africa probably soak up pressure better than anybody else in the world, so we might have to be more patient than we have in recent series and that's going to be our biggest test."The Proteas were the last visiting side to win a Test series in England, back in 2008, and Anderson added: "A lot of the guys played in that series, we're well aware of it."They played really well last time they were over here and they're going to be strong in our conditions with both the bat and the ball."But confidence is high, we're really excited to be playing such a strong team."It's going to be a really tough three-match series for us, we're going to have to be on top form to have chance of winning."Several of England's leading batsmen have been in good form recently, including South Africa-born Kevin Pietersen, always a prize wicket for the Proteas especially.Pietersen scored 80 and 78 in his last two Tests against the West Indies and an unbeaten 234 for Surrey against county champions Lancashire, having opted out of limited overs internationals.Anderson refused to be drawn on talk Pietersen could reverse his decision but said: "Something we're excited about is the form he's shown this summer."He's carried it on from the IPL (Indian Premier League) and hopefully he can carry it on to end of this series."

Tight end Zach Miller was one of the Chicago Bears' heroes in Monday night's comeback win over the San Diego Chargers. His one-handed 25-yard game-winning touchdown catch was as good as any you'll see.
But Miller also played a key, albeit significantly less flashy, role on the Bears' first touchdown of the fourth quarter, a 1-yard plunge by running back Jeremy Langford.
His adjustment and block on Langford's short run engendered just as much pride as his incredible catch because he has really pushed himself to improve in the blocking role the Bears have asked him to fill.
On the play, Miller joined tight end Martellus Bennett and defensive lineman/fullback Mitch...

Fun Vintage Commericals
By now, you should know that I'm a big fan of 50's illustration and animation design. Not only do I love children's book illustrations from that decade, but also love the artwork done in ads and commercials, especially the animated ones. A couple of years ago I was assigned to direct a spot for the Boomerang network, where we were recreating the look and feel of old commercials but with Hanna-Barbera characters put into them. We even were allowed to redesign the classic HB characters to fit the style, which is practically unheard of when it comes to network icons. I chose the 1950's, of course (with Quick Draw McGraw), and I went on a mad hunt for any and all animated commercials from that era. We had a tape at Primal with a great collection of vintage kids-related commercials, and for resource I sat down and grabbed as many frame grabs as I could from the tape. I couldn't stop, I tell ya. I got so into it, I literally had to pry myself away from the monitor at the end of the day.
Out of my extensive research, there were a couple of spots I really enjoyed that had a fun look and great styling to them. I've put some of my favorite frame grabs from these spots into a new Flickr set titled, Fun Vintage Commercials. Here are a few highlights:
I Want My Maypo became one of the most popular commercials of that time, all thanks to the infamous tagline belted out by the "Maypo kid," shown here. It aired in 1956, with John & Faith Hubley doing the production, and Emery Hawkins, a former Warner Bros. animator, doing the animation (you can read more about Emery HERE). I love the design of the kid -- you can see why I chose him to be the icon for The Retro Kid, the Flickr group I started. Another bit of trivia, this spot is briefly seen in Brad Bird's THE IRON GIANT, when the Giant's hand is watching TV.
Pepsodent's The Yellow Went was one of the earliest TV spots that was aimed at marketing to a growing teenage market. The zippy animation and editing help this 60 second spot seem like it is only half that long. And guess what? The animation production was done by Tex Avery. Oh, and the jingle was pretty much a big deal too, with the "You'll wonder where the 'yellow' went, When you brush your teeth with Pepsodent!" running around in the heads of many in 1956, when it first aired. I have to say that Suzi, the girl in the spot, has one of the swingingest walks ever recorded on film. Check out the other frames I grabbed from the spot, and you'll see that teenage boys will do anything to get the attention of a cute girl.
I don't know the title to this spot, but The Cheerios Kid was introduced in 1953, along with his female pal, Sue, to promote the energetic possibilites of eating a bunch of little o's. This particular spot aired in 1955, with the character and background design done by TOOT designer, Tom Oreb. I love the way the mountains and how the waterfall were depicted, with everything very stylized and very angular. Fun animation, too.
Check out the set to see more images from these wonderful TV commercials. (And by the way, I plan on updating this set periodically, so be sure to check back often.)

Great post.ReplyDelete
I don't know much about art or illsutration, but looking at these nicely stylized pictures makes me miss the days of pen-and-paper. A lot of the new cartoons are heavily stylized, too, but they don't seem to have the soul of older stuff.
NB: I bet the "yellow" teeth commercial worked so well in black-and-white because yellow would have to be dark gray. And if there's one thing worse than yellow teeth, it's off-black teeth!
This first Marky Maypo commercial is nothing short of genius. Hawkins comes up with so many appealing and incredibly creative head shapes. His poses and animation are sublime. One more bit of trivia related to Maypo: the kid in the first Log commercial on the original REN & STIMPY is a tribute to Marky Maypo. They copy many of the poses from this Marky Maypo commercial, and even the spot's set-up is a tribute, where the Log kid yells "No!" to the other toys.ReplyDelete
The Pepsodent commercial was supposedly designed by Gene Hazelton. It's never been officially confirmed, but based on the style, it's pretty plausible. On the Cheerios ad, Vic Haboush co-designed that with Oreb. Vic had saved some of his layouts from that spot, and it's clear that he played a role in designing the bgs of that spot.
Anyway terrific post Ward! TV commercials are such a lost (and woefully underdocumented) aspect of animation history.
Fantastic post. always enjoy your blog Ward.ReplyDelete
Wow, these are fantastic! These commercials would be a terrific resource for a project I'm working on. Do you happen to know if they are available to the general public anywhere?ReplyDelete
Wow....just gorgeous images!! The 50s are such a pinnacle for art. It just oozed out of every facet of that era..movies, books, tv...even labels on food. Photograpy killed it all!ReplyDelete
On a positive note, have you ever looked into this dvd on ebay,Ward?
It's even got the Tom Oreb disney commercials on there. Not a great copy of them, but at least it's there.
Anyway, I used one of your images in a piece I did this weekend for church with all 50's images.
Thanks for being such a resource of joy.
You rock, Ward.
Thanks, Amid for adding your two cents here. I knew that you'd have a couple of nuggets of wisdom to bestow upon us regarding 50's animation and design. (And I'm still dying to check out your book on this subject when it comes out next Spring!)ReplyDelete
Cedric, I think Steve Lambe answered your question, but there are other outlets to find vintage commercials, and I believe that the tape I was watching was from Something Weird Video. Worth checking out.
Slim, that's what I'm here for. Thanks.
I do want to add more to this lot, people, so please come back for more!

Sometimes Being Wrong Feels So Right
A lot has changed since I last posted, and I'm liking how things are going right now. I graduated high school on Saturday, which was extremely bittersweet since I've been at that school since kindergarten and I will miss it dearly, but I'm ready for what's next: summer, Marist College, and many surprises! Graduation was awesome, and I won a bunch of awards/scholarships because I'm a nerd like that. Along with one award came a little gift…everyone at my school knew how huge of a Yankees fan I am…
A Yankees cap and a little Jeter bear! From Yankee Stadium. Thanks to CSEA rep Mrs. Filmanski, a fellow Yankees fan and genuinely sweet lady.
But even though I'm relatively intelligent, and a fairly knowledgeable baseball fan, sometimes I'm just so wrong about my beloved New York Yankees.
Obviously, baseball is unpredictable. I thought since the Yankees had lost key players like Derek Jeter and Bartolo Colon to the 15-day DL, that maybe they wouldn't be winning so much. Well so far, I have been wrong, and I'm fine with that. If being wrong means my team will win, I hope I'm always wrong. Since getting swept at home by the Red Sox, the Yankees have gone 8-2 and are now 41-29 on the season, right behind the Red Sox in the AL East standings.
Derek Jeter, in the midst of his quest for #3,000, suffered a calf strain that will sideline him for at least the 15 days. Big blow for the fans, and an impacting factor for the team. Eduardo Nunez has filled in nicely for Jeter so far, coming up with many clutch hits. I have heard so much about the kid, but he hasn't had much time to develop at the Big League level. Now is his chance, and he's making the most of it. I can see now why the team thought so highly of him, and why they didn't trade him for Cliff Lee last July when they had the chance to.
Aside from Nunez, other guys have really come alive since Jeter has gone down. Guys that I've been complaining about all year long – like Brett Gardner – are making me feel silly now. Gardner is hitting at an insane clip of .423 in June, and is now at .294 for the season. With Jeter gone, Gardner is getting the opportunity to shine in the leadoff spot, and he's making the most of it. Skipper Joe Girardi has even become confident enough in Gardner to let him play against lefty pitchers.
Nick Swisher is another guy who has stepped up his game to make up for lost players. Swisher had the game winning homer in the 10-4 victory last night for the Yanks, and overall has played much more solid baseball. Maybe he's trying to make a push for the All-Star team again? Last year I think I single handedly sent him to the game, "Sending Swish" for hours straight since voting was unlimited. I think he got hot a little late for that, but if he keeps hitting consistently well, he'll be an All-Star in all the Yankees fans' minds.
On the pitching side, the Yankees have suffered a huge blow with the loss of Bartolo Colon for at least 15 days. I was serious when I said he was my #1 so far. The "surprise" factor was a big deal for me. I just never expected anything out of Colon, not to mention Cy Young quality performances start after start from the guy. Losing him was not easy. Brian Gordon, whom I had never heard of until the Yankees signed him, made a start in Colon's place against the Rangers, and did fairly well, going 5.2 innings and allowing 2 runs. The Yankees can survive with him in the rotation, just as long as the other guys do well, and if the bullpen continues to be amazing.
Yes, the bullpen IS amazing, despite the bombardment of injuries on guys like Chamberlain, Soriano, Feliciano, Marte, etc. The Yankees have a bunch of no-names like Cory Wade, Luis Ayala, and Jeff Marquez filling in. And to my surprise, these no-names are quickly making names for themselves. The Yankees bullpen has the best ERA in the AL. HOW is this possible? I am so blown away.
If you showed me this current Yankees roster in April, there would be no way that I'd think they'd be 1.5 games behind Boston. They have really impressed me. They've dug deep and stepped up big time. I wonder what's going to happen when guys like Jeter, Colon, and Phil Hughes are activated once again.
As of right now, it looks like things can only get better.

A Walk On Water provides water therapy through guided surf instruction to special needs children. Surfing is used as a tool to gain self-confidence skills and promote the therapeutic benefits of the sport's positive effects.
Events are dedicated to the children having a safe day experiencing the oceans healing qualities. Children will experience the "stoke" of surfing and sense of accomplishment as family and friends cheer them on from the beach. Founded by Josh Froley and Pat R. Notaro III the inspiration began 12 years ago at the 1st annual "Pat Notaro Day Malibu Surfers Healing" hosted by Variety Club The Children's Charity. The event is a tribute to Pat's late father who was an avid Malibu surfer, member of the Variety Club and Sony Executive. Over 200 autistic children experienced surfing at this years event!
Donating time as instructors and ambassadors for different surf therapy charities both Josh and Pat felt it was necessary to serve all special needs children and their families. Through these experiences they were inspired to do more— create a movement. With the intent to approach "giving back" just like surfing, is cool and fashionable. Creating a brand and a platform to help benefit all surf related charities.
These one day events are free to the families. Donations are welcome and can be made out to "The Pat Notaro Memorial Fund" represented by Variety Club The Children's Charity of Los Angeles. These donations will be appropriated to hold A Walk On Water events and support other surf therapy related children's charities.

About The Vaughan Brothers
Sibling blues guitarists Jimmie Vaughan (born in 1951) and Stevie Ray Vaughan (1954-1990) were born and raised in Dallas, TX. Each began playing guitar during childhood, Stevie Ray inspired to take up the instrument by his older brother. Jimmie Vaughan played in various groups in Dallas and Austin before hooking up with singer/harmonica player Kim Wilson and forming the Fabulous Thunderbirds in 1974. The group was signed to Chrysalis Records, for which they made four albums, starting with a self-titled 1979 debut. The second and third of them, What's the Word (1980) and Butt Rockin' (1981), made the lower reaches of the charts, but the band was dropped by the label after the commercial failure of T-Bird Rhythm in the fall of 1982.
Meanwhile, Stevie Ray Vaughan had been playing around Texas, at first with Triple Threat featuring singer Lou Ann Barton, and then, after her departure, with drummer Chris Layton and newly recruited bassist Tommy Shannon as Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble. His appearance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1982 led to a recording contract with Epic Records and the release of his debut album, Texas Flood, a Top 40 hit, in 1983. He followed it with the even more successful Couldn't Stand the Weather (1984) and Soul to Soul (1985), each of which went gold within two years. (All three albums have since gone platinum.) Stevie Ray Vaughan's success stimulated Epic's interest in his brother's band. The Epic subsidiary CBS Associated signed the Fabulous Thunderbirds and issued Tuff Enuff (1986), which spawned a Top Ten single in the title-track and itself made the Top 20, going gold within six months and eventually platinum. The same year, Stevie Ray Vaughan issued Live Alive, which eventually went platinum.
The careers of both brothers subsided soon after. Stevie Ray Vaughan went into rehab, while the Fabulous Thunderbirds' follow-ups to Tuff Enuff, Hot Number (1987) and Powerful Stuff (1989), did not match its commercial success. Jimmie Vaughan amicably parted from the band in June 1990. Stevie Ray Vaughan returned after more than two and a half years with In Step (1989), which became his biggest seller yet, eventually going double platinum. The brothers had long planned a duo project, and in 1990 they finally found time for it, recording Family Style. But the month before the album's scheduled release, Stevie Ray Vaughan was killed in a helicopter crash on August 27, 1990. The album appeared in September and it soared into the Top Ten, selling over a million copies.
Jimmie Vaughan helped oversee posthumous releases of his brother's recordings, such as the two-million-selling Top Ten hit The Sky Is Crying (1991). He launched his own solo career in the spring of 1994 with Strange Pleasure, released by Epic. ~ William Ruhlmann

Why I Chose to Take the More Matters Pledge
About three years ago, I made the decision to take the More Matters Pledge to add one more serving of fruit and vegetables to my daily diet and it was the start of one of the smartest decisions I'd ever make.
My diet has always been rather healthy–consisting of lean protein, a decent amount of vegetables and for the most part I would stay away from processed food. However, after learning that the more fruit and vegetables we add to our daily intake the healthier we are, I realized that I wasn't eating as much fruit as I should and I did have other opportunties to add more variety of veggies to my diet. I started by replacing snack food with whole fruit or replacing a cup of coffee with a cup of 100% fruit juice. These were simple changes that resulted in big differences in how I felt and, over time, in weight loss!
After time, I stepped up my Pledge so that I was making half my plate fruit and vegetables. This not only put me in line with the USDA guidelines, but continued to streamline my weight loss. I found it easy to make meals that were both nutritious and delicous, which were filling and filled with produce. Since I was replacing higher calorie/fat foods with fruit and vegetables, I was naturally losing weight slowly without feeling deprived. Since many fruit and veggies are filled with fiber, they left me feeling full and the vitamins they had provided plenty of energy.
Fast forward to today and I continue with this lifestyle–a whole 20 pounds lighter! The added bonus is that I never considered it to be a "diet," but instead a better, healthier way to eat. By taking the More Matters Pledge, I'm now eating a wider variety of fruit and veggies than I ever did before, have more energy and back at a more comfortable weight that I had previously had difficulty reaching.
I would encourage you to take a look at the More Matters Pledge–to add more fruit and veggies to your diet, to eat healthier or just to feel better like me! Fruits & Veggies–More Matters has plenty of great tips to show you how to follow through once you've taken the Pledge. Start today for a healthier tomorrow.

Oh no some Christians think games depicting demons, warlocks, etc are of the Devil just take a look at the web sites like "Christians against World of Warcraft". I get my copy of Skyrim tomorrow and can't wait to start playing. BTW... my wife and I have been playing WoW close to eight years.
If you're getting it for a console... kill yourself. This game will rule on PC, mainly because of all the mods that will come out shortly after. :D
I have to agree with this. My computer does not support games. I received Skyrim for the PS3. It turns out all PS3 versions of the game have a save bug and all save files will be permanently lost after about 30 hours of play.
I totally agree that a PC is a must have for Skyrim, I have long awaited it, only to find myself without a PC since I moved 3 weeks ago. Luckily, I got a good job and can get one that will run it here soon, I'll pass on buying an x-box :)
The wife has:
Alienware Aurora Desktop
Intel Core i5-2400 (6MB Cache) OC Turbo Boost to 3.6GHZ

Lol Zork, havnt heard that name in a long long while.

duo-core rated at 3.7 ghz
6 gigs ddr3 ram
x2 nividia 9800, and i had just bought the brand new ATI
terabyte SSD (which is awesome but pricey)
and its all tied together with a cheap ASUS MB, which i rly shoulda have spent the extra cause its a POS.

The Vaitupu community; an island atoll located 112 km northeast of Tuvalu's capital - Funafuti are celebrating the recent handover of the Tuvalu Photo Voltaic Electricity Network Integration Project (TPVENIP) by IUCN to the Tuvalu government.
The handover, on 15 April, was celebrated with pomp as the Chiefs, representatives of the Kaupule, central government, local community and the Motufoua Secondary School community gathered at the school to witness the commissioning and handing over of the project. Traditional dancing and feasting marked the day as students and teachers entertained guests in a show of jubilation.
Speaking at the event, the Minister for Energy Honourable Kuasea Natano reflected the government's appreciation of the donation generously made by the governments of Italy and Austria for the project which contributes to Tuvalu's plan of combating the escalating price of imported fuel, particularly for the island of Vaitupu. Tuvalu has a target of obtaining 100% of its electricity generation from renewable energy sources by the year 2020.
Representing IUCN, Mr Anare Matakiviti, IUCN Energy Programme Coordinator said "IUCN is privileged to work in partnership with the governments of Italy and Austria in promoting low carbon and energy-efficient techologies in six Pacific Island Countries including Tuvalu." The project in Tuvalu, is unique he said, as it is the first of its kind in the Pacific region where a storage facility (battery bank) has been used. The use of the battery bank would allow the system to provide power even when there is no sunshine.
The TPVENI Project managed by IUCN, through its Regional Office in Suva, Fiji is located at the Motufoua Secondary School, one of Tuvalu's government-owned high schools. The school, attended by about 500 students now has access to a 24-hour power supply, something that has been wished for since the school was established in the early 1900s.
"We are particularly pleased with the donors for funding such a project; the contractors for their quick delivery and the fact that the school was chosen as the project site," says Mr Mosese Halofaki the principal of Motofuoua Secondary School. Mr Halofaki emphasised that schools are ideal locations for this type of project because they are where future leaders are trained and so opportunities should be provided for students to learn about development projects. "The project completion is also timely as it will complement the school's plan of extending its curriculum activities to include vocational training which will require more power supply," he adds.
The total cost of the project is just over $700,000 and is integrated into the Tuvalu Electricity Corporation grid network. It will allow the Tuvalu Electricity Corporation to save about 120 litres of diesel fuel per day. This translates into about 43,800 litres per year with a monetary value of around $80,000. The project began in 2009 and will be monitored until 2011.

These three songs were contributed by Miss Helen A. Merrill of the Department of Mathematics at Wellesley College who wrote them for the Wellesley Mathematics Club.
The first three lines should be sung at an ordinary rate, the last very fast, slowing up on the last three syllables.
(To the tune of Mistress Shady)
(The tune of "Sing a Song of Sixpence" may be found in a collection of Mother Goose Melodies)
Since a song of six points that on a conic lie.
Join them, and a hexagon greets your ravished eye.
If the sides are all produced, two by two they meet
On the so-called Pascal line, now isn't that quite neat?
Sing a song of Euclid, a mighty wizard he,
Once you grant his axiom you're led to Q.E.D.
Though he wrote his Elements in ages far and dim,
The world will always find it true, and always honor him.
Sing a song of Newton, many things he found,
Such as why an apple tumbles to the ground.
But his great discovery of the Calculus
Is what most particularly makes him dear to us.
Sing a song of Descartes with his law of signs,
And his way of drawing plus and minus lines.
He was the philosopher who was because he thought,
But 'twas to Mathematics that his greatest gifts he brought.
Sing a song of Taylor, a friend of Newton he,
Who for his work in series will long remembered be;
F(a+x) he'll teach you to express
In an infinity of terms, or, if you wish, in less.
Sing a song of all the folks, today and long ago,
Who helped discover wonders that we simply long to know.
How we'd like ourselves to find something nice and new,
To give the students after us a little more to do!
(To the tune of Yankee Doodle)
When I hear a crowd of folks all chattering in Greek, it
Sounds so mathematical I join right in and speak it.
Alpha, lambda, hexagon, axiom, phi, beta,
Asymptote, pi, epsilon, theorem, rho, theta.
Of these Greek remarks I know the meaning mathematic,
Though perhaps it differs from the usage of pure Attic.
Alpha, lambda, hexagon, axiom, phi, beta,
Asymptote, pi, epsilon, theorem, rho, theta.

Anyone else still nursing their kids' Halloween candy hangovers?
In anticipation of my boys' bouncing off the walls and regularly throwing tantrums over how many chocolate bars and lollipops they can eat every day from the remaining trick-or-treat stash, I decided to investigate the persistent refrain that sugar makes children behave like unhinged lunatics.
The truth, in the vast majority of cases, is no. That may come as a bit of a shock to those of us who have seen, with our very own eyes, a 6-year-old transform into a Tasmanian devil within minutes of eating a Twizzler or a birthday cupcake.
Parents often report that sugar gives kids "a shot of energy," says Georgia-based pediatrician Jatinder Bhatia, chair of the Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Pediatrics. "And I feel like I've seen it myself," he adds. "But if you look at the science . . . there isn't any definitive literature showing that sugar will cause a child to be hyperactive."
In fact, more than a dozen double-blind research trials on children's diets — both from candy and chocolate and from natural sources — has failed to find any behavioral differences between those young people who consume sugar and those who don't. That's even true for kids with an ADHD diagnosis.
So what's actually going on?
For one thing, there may be a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy on the part of parents. "We know that people's beliefs and expectations going into a situation bias how they perceive things," explains Tracy King, a pediatrician at Johns Hopkins Children's Center. "If you believe that sugar influences your kid's behavior, then you're more likely to look for that behavior, and if you see it, you're more likely to attribute it to sugar intake."
Even King, who knows exactly what the research shows, admits that she's fallen into this trap from time to time: "If I see my 7-year-old daughter is climbing off the walls, the first thing I do is think back to 'What did she eat recently?' and dessert or candy are the first things to come to mind."
Indeed, in one older, oft-cited study, a group of mothers who labeled their children as "sugar sensitive" were split into two groups: Half were informed that their children were given sugary beverages, while the others were told they'd be having sugar-free drinks; in reality, all were given the same sugar-free placebo. Still, the moms who thought their children had consumed sugar rated kids' behavior as significantly more hyperactive.
The connection between sugar and rambunctiousness isn't just in parents' heads, though, says pediatrician Ivor Horn of Children's National Medical Center. She stresses that environmental and social factors surrounding sugar-centric events or holidays may also contribute to the madness and a general uptick in a child's activity level.
"At Halloween or a birthday party, kids are just really, really excited," she says. "If you take a kid to a party and you have cake and then you come home and they are all over the place, you might attribute it to all the junk they ate, but it may be that they're just really excited about the fact they just came from a party with all their friends or family, or they've been really active at the party and now they're tired, and that's contributing to behavior."
Horn adds that while sugar may not be the direct cause of a kid's sugar high, it might play a part in the crash that often follows. Refined treats such as ice cream and candy lead to a bigger, faster drop in blood sugar than other foods do, and this decline can result in mood or behavior issues. Still, Horn advises parents "to look at other things that are happening" around kids "that may also be contributing to hyperactivity" — for example, that rousing game of whack-the-pinata, a skipped nap, an abnormally late bedtime, etc.
In addition, some experts have speculated that other ingredients in candy and sugary snacks, such as food dyes, artificial preservatives and other additives, may also play a role in hyperactivity, especially for certain children. Published research shows "some hints that there are some small, specific subgroups of kids who are particularly sensitive to sugar or food additives," says King, noting that food allergies or intolerances may play a role.
If your son or daughter falls into this category, there's no harm in trying a sugar- or additive-free diet, counsels Horn. "If you feel like it makes a difference, please, by all means try it, because kids get way too much sugar, for the most part," she says, noting that while sugar may not directly cause hyperactivity, it obviously isn't good for you, playing a role in increased risk of cavities and other oral health issues, as well as weight gain and obesity.
If you're not ready to ditch sweets entirely but still can't shake the feeling that it drives your children berserk, simply try looking at that next party-induced meltdown in a different way, suggests Horn. "If you have a very balanced diet for your kid, where they're not getting sugar all the time and they do see sweets and candy as a treat, then it makes sense that they will be excited to get them on a special occasion — just like kids get excited when they get a new toy — and that's not a bad thing," she explains.
"To me, when sugar is something your kid is really excited about, it indicates that maybe you're doing something right rather than [that] something went wrong. Parents should see that as 'You know what, it's great that my kid is excited about this,' and value and appreciate the treat."

Women Business Owners – Find the Help You Need to Start Up and Grow
Women Business Owners – Find the Help You Need to Start Up and Grow
There's no doubt about it, women are a rising force in American entrepreneurship. Here are some fast facts on women-owned businesses:
- The latest Census data indicates that 7.8 million U.S. businesses are owned by women. This represents a stunning 44% increase from 1997-2007, twice the growth rate of men-owned businesses.
- Women-owned firms now make up close to a third (29%) of all nonfarm businesses across the country.
- These firms generate a total of $1.2 trillion annually and employ 7.6 million people.
Clearly, women-owned firms are not in the minority. Neither are they a small niche market, but they are a major force in the U.S. economy.
The Opportunities and Challenges of Women-Business Ownership
Business ownership represents a significant opportunity for women. The flexibility of being your own boss provides for a work/life balance that can be hard to achieve when you're working for someone else. Business ownership also affords the opportunity for career advancement beyond the confines of corporate America's "glass ceiling."
Despite this, women business owners continue to face their own particular challenges. From sex discrimination by vendors, investors and even employees, to juggling the demands of business and family obligations while being the "Chief Everything Officer."
And then, of course, there's the economic climate and the challenges that women face trying to gain access to capital. According to the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) Public Policy Survey of its members, women still rely on personal savings as their main source of business funding and often don't apply for business credit because they believe they will be turned down. Likewise, women also deal with racial discrimination. According to NAWBO's member surveys, nearly 50 percent of African American women business owners have encountered obstacles or difficulties when trying to obtain business financing.
Women's Business Centers – Assistance and Education in Your Community
The good news for women business owners is that there is a range of free and low-cost resources available to help them overcome many of these challenges and succeed in business. In particular, the SBA's Office of Women's Business Ownership (established in 1988 to help women overcome barriers to business ownership) oversees a network of Women's Business Centers (WBCs) throughout the U.S. and its territories. These centers provide women entrepreneurs with in-person assistance and business counseling programs that can help them start and grow successful businesses.
WBCs can specifically benefit women who are economically or socially disadvantaged and wouldn't otherwise have access to comprehensive training and counseling offered in many languages.
Because each community is different, each WBC tailors its services to the needs of its individual community, although you can expect to find training and counseling services on a wide range of topics including:
- Preparing for business ownership
- Business planning
- Business management
- Marketing
- How to navigate the loan process
- Opportunities for selling to the government
- And more
WBCs can also help women business owners explore the range of government loan programs offered through SBA.
Check out SBA's Directory of Women's Business Centers to find the one nearest you.
Additional Resources for Women Business Owners
SBA and its Office of Women's Business Ownership work with a variety of organizations to help women business owners succeed. Here are just a few:
- SBA Local Offices – In addition to supporting WBCs, SBA also has its own network of more than nearly 70 district offices. These offices can be a useful starting point for pinpointing the support available to meet your specific business needs. Local SBA offices can also provide information on SBA loan programs, the application process and participating lenders, and often hold regular training workshops.
- Mentoring and Counseling Services from SCORE – With a network of over 13,000 volunteers, SCORE provides free and confidential counseling, mentoring and advice to startups and small business owners nationwide. SCORE's volunteers have business experience across 62 industries. SCORE also offers low-cost seminars at its local chapters and online training.
- National Association of Women Business Owners – NAWBO is a membership organization that provides resources (including excellent newsletters) and networking opportunities for women in business.
- National Association for Female Executives (NAFE) – NAFE provides information on an association committed to women of excellence in business, with benefits including success stories, newsletters, discounted services and equipment and much more.
- Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP) – WIPP is a national nonpartisan public policy organization that advocates for and on behalf of women-owned businesses in the legislative processes of our nation, creating economic opportunities and building bridges and alliances to other business organizations.
And don't forget to check out SBA's Women-Owned Business Guide for links to information about loans, selling to the government and more.

The Co-op said it had secured "resounding endorsement" for reform after a vote by members paved the way for radical changes in the way it is run.
Delegates at a meeting in Manchester unanimously backed a motion calling for elected board directors and greater powers for individual members.
The mutual, which last year racked up a £2.5bn loss following the worst period in its 150-year history, said a board meeting would now take place before the end of this month to formulate a timetable for reform.
Lord Myners, whose recent report on the Co-op provided the basis for today's four-point resolution, said he hoped the vote was a "turning point" for the food-to-funerals group.
He had previously warned that the Co-op, which has around eight million members and a 90,000-strong workforce, faced a bleak future unless it took urgent steps to replace its current "dysfunctional" board structure.
Lord Myners proposed a "plc and beyond" structure which replaces the existing 20-strong board of representatives from the co-operative movement with professionally-trained directors.
Having met an initially hostile response from some parts of the movement, Lord Myners said today's vote in favour of reform had exceeded his expectations.
Ursula Lidbetter, Co-operative Group chair, described the outcome of the ballot as "a highly significant moment" and said members had made clear their commitment to far-reaching reform of governance.
She said: "Our members have given us a resounding endorsement for reform. We will begin immediately."
Ms Lidbetter went on: "Reading the mood of our members today, they have recognised that we need to modernise, we need to move on.
"There is an absolute change of tone. People are now ready to make this change now."
Today's ballot involved representatives of the Co-op's independent societies and affiliated organisations - who hold 22% of the vote - and others voting on behalf of its regional membership boards making up the remaining 78%.
Detailed reforms involving rule changes will still have to be voted on at a later date and will require two-thirds support.
The four-point resolution called for:
:: The creation of a board of directors "qualified to lead an organisation of the size and complexity of the Co-operative Group".
:: Establishment of a separate structure which will give the group's eight million members powers to hold the board to account for the performance of the business and "adherence to co-operative values and principles".
:: A move to the concept of "one member one vote", but with "appropriate representation" for the Co-op's independent societies.
:: Rules to protect against any ending of the group's mutual status.
Richard Pennycook, the Co-op Group's interim chief executive, said there was also a desire to execute the operational turnaround that its businesses need.
He said: "We have some good businesses capable of much better performance than we have seen and whilst that will be a journey it is one I think that is entirely achievable for us."
Mr Pennycook outlined the group's "new purpose", which will see any profits go back to the communities where its members live and work.
He added: "They won't be pulled down to the City of London or to Wall Street. They stay in the communities where those profits are generated."
The Co-op's huge losses mainly stemmed from the near-collapse of its banking arm, which had a £1.5 billion hole in its balance sheet following the ill-fated takeover of the Britannia building society.
A damning report by Sir Christopher Kelly into the bank's woes also found that the wider group had badly let down its millions of members by its failure to provide "proper stewardship" of the business.
It has now seen its stake in the bank fall from 100% to around 20% after bondholders including US hedge funds took up the majority of shares as part of a rescue plan.
Lord Myners, who has now stepped down from the Co-op board after he was appointed a director of the group in December, said it was apparent from the first time he attended a board meeting that not one of its members had the ability to address the complex issues faced by a group with £1.4bn of debt.
He warned that the Co-op would have to sell assets such as its £1 billion funeral care business in order to meet the demands of its lending banks.
The former Marks & Spencer chairman said today: "The resolution that they have approved is a very carefully worded one in which every word counts, and the resolution reflects the core pillars or principles of my report on governance.
"So they are not voting on my report but they are voting to support the direction of travel which I have suggested so I am very pleased with the outcome of today.
"I think it is a turning point for The Co-operative."
He added: "I am very confident that there will be substantial change in the governance of the Co-op and the leadership of the organisation will have a strong and more accountable board.
"My proposals involve the board being subject to a degree of scrutiny which goes well beyond the scrutiny of a plc board. It is plc 'plus' in that sense and it also has deeply embedded democratic principles of one member one vote."

A Texas woman on the run since 1977 from attempted murder allegations was arrested this week nearly 1,500 miles away in Michigan.
Kathlyn Regina Huff, 58, was arrested on Tuesday in Farmington Hills, Mich., a Detroit suburb, more than 36 years after she was indicted in San Antonio, Texas, for allegedly shooting her common-law husband in the head, according to authorities.
Authorities took Huff into custody without incident, they said, in what one neighbor called a sleepy, country neighborhood.
"It's a shocker because if it's been that long, if she's been around that long, I'm quite surprised," Patricia Kaye, who lives about a block and a half away from Huff's home, told ABC News. "It's a very quiet neighborhood. We don't have any odd happenings that go on around here."
Huff, who changed her name to Kathlyn Regenia Rose after marrying, most likely fled San Antonio between when she allegedly attempted murder in 1976 and the time of her indictment in 1977, Bozeman said. U.S. Marshals in Texas determined that she made her way to Seattle before settling in southeastern Michigan, he said.
"The Lone Star Fugitive Task Force out of Texas requested that we apprehend her," U.S. Marshals Deputy Robert Watson, of the Eastern District of Michigan, Detroit, told ABC News. "They developed information that she was in the Farmington Hills area."
The U.S. Marshals are not investigating any of Huff's relatives or friends, Bozeman said. "No information has been brought to our attention that anyone had any knowledge that she was a fugitive on the run," he said.
Her arrest came just months after U.S. Marshals in Texas established a task force to turn up the heat on cold cases, Deputy U.S. Marshal Chris Bozeman told ABC News today. It was the oldest case the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force's cold case unit had taken on so far, and contained particularly serious allegations, according to Bozeman.
"When you tack on the number of years that this person has been on the run, that of course adds more to it," Bozeman said.
Members of the Detroit Fugitive Apprehension Team, which consists of members the U.S. Marshals and a host of other local, state and federal authorities, took Huff into custody after watching her arrive home, approaching her and identifying themselves, according to the U.S. Marshals.
Huff was indicted by a grand jury in Bexar County, Texas, in September 1977, for allegedly shooting her common-law husband in the head during a heated argument the year before, according to the U.S. Marshals.
She is being held at the Oakland County Jail, in Pontiac, Mich., and according to U.S. Marshals, is awaiting extradition to Texas. She has yet to have a hearing and does not have an attorney, according to staff at the Oakland County Circuit Court and the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds' office. A date for a hearing has not been set, according to the court.
A message left at a number listed for Huff was not returned.

MIDDLEBURY — Rep. Willem Jewett, D-Ripton, will have an even higher leadership profile in the Vermont House of Representatives during the next two years. The five-term incumbent lawmaker representing Addison-2 was unanimously elected by his fellow Democrats at their Dec. 8 caucus to serve as House majority leader when the Legislature reconvenes this January.
Jewett, 49, takes over from former House Majority Leader Lucy Leriche of Hardwick, who did not run for re-election. Jewett served the last two years as House majority whip.
