Popcornflix: Free Streaming Movies
The annoying thing about Internet-connected smart TVs? Accessing the smarts usually costs you bucks. Probably 95% of the streaming Internet video I watch on my Samsung flat-panel is Netflix ($7.99 a month) or Vudu (usually $4.99 per movie for 720p high-def). With the sole exception of YouTube, the motley assortment of free viewing options available on these TVs has all the appeal of wilted lettuce.
But at the moment, I'm watching a damned good documentary, The Legend of Dolemite, for free on a relatively new service called Popcornflix. Good thing, too, because my run-down Nevada motel room sports an early-'80s TV with a busted speaker and I really don't feel like calling the manager and witnessing her failed attempts to fix it.
Whenever you get something for free, it seems there's always a catch. So I talked with Gary Delfiner, senior V.P. of Screen Media Ventures, parent company of Popcornflix, to find out what the catch is.
Right now, one catch is that Popcornflix isn't available on any smart TVs or Blu-ray players. But it is available on Roku and on iOS devices; I'm using it now on my iPod touch. Delfiner said more platforms are on the way: "We're just delivering our app to Samsung this week, and we're in discussion with all of the other electronics companies, going after connected TVs. We're five weeks away from releasing our Android app. We're in discussion with the game platforms, too."
While I talked with Delfiner, I flipped through Popcornflix's offerings using the free iOS app on my iPod touch, and another catch became apparent. There were plenty of documentaries I'd heard of, but almost no feature films I recognized. Ever heard of Chilly Dogs? No? OK, how about Amazons and Gladiators? Grizzly and the Treasure?
When I pointed out the relative obscurity of the films in Popcornflix's catalog, Delfiner had a ready response. "That's the good news!" he said. "How many times can you watch Iron Man?"
Good point, and to be fair, there's plenty of stuff I've never heard of on Netflix and Vudu. "The majority of movies are really good, with big stars and high production quality," he continued. "We have Sherrybaby with Maggie Gyllenhaal, The Cake Eaters with Kristin Stewart, Battle in Seattle with Charlize Theron, Lymelife with Alec Baldwin, Creator with Peter O'Toole....
"Ninety-eight-percent of it is full-length, feature films, but we also have a couple of web series. We have Film School Originals, which we put together by going to a lot of film schools and asking if they had student films they wanted to promote."
Still, that makes one film (Sherrybaby) I was familiar with. "Where do you find all these movies?" I asked Delfiner.
"We have over 2,000 movies, one of the largest film libraries outside the major studios," he explained. "Screen Media is a traditional movie distributor - like a Warner Brothers but maybe 1/20th of that. We distribute movies to all the usual suspects.
"Most of them are made by independents," he continued. "In some cases, they're made by major studios and the studios have domestic rights only, so we buy them from the international distributors. Sometimes we buy them from the banks when they [the distributors] go out of business. We're at 400 movies on the service right now, planning to hit 750 by the end of the year, and we'll add 1,000 more next year."
As I continue browsing the service, I notice another possible catch. The user interface is surprisingly sleek; if you know what you're looking for, you can find it with just a few clicks. You can search by genre, actor, director, etc. But with so much obscure content, how do you know what you're looking for?
"You can go on Rotten Tomatoes and find every single one of these movies," Delfiner said. "You'll find a lot of great reviews for a lot of them. We're also rolling out a 'staff picks' section, and building in collections, like Mother's Day, Halloween, girls night out, bachelor party…."
But to quote a line from the famous Star Trek episode "The City on the Edge of Forever": "It's time to pay for the soup." You see, Popcornflix has ads.
Delfiner claimed that the ad load is less than you'd typically get with network TV. "Generally there are two ads before you watch, and one or two during the movie every 8 to 10 minutes. We didn't want to create a bad user experience."
During my viewing, though, I never got more than two ads at the beginning, plus a static banner ad that was easy to click past. Once I was past those, the movies and documentaries were commercial-free. Of course, that could change tomorrow.
Sound+Vision readers will of course want to know the specifics: resolution, audio coding, etc. Here, Delfiner was sketchy on details. "We encode at a very high quality, and serve at a high bit rate. We don't skimp on the user experience," he said. When I asked about the audio, he replied, "I don't know the answer to that, I'm not a tech guy. We follow the Apple protocol."
My guess is that, like Netflix, Vudu, and Amazon Video on Demand, Popcornflix uses Dolby Digital Plus. Regardless, through the iPod touch and the excellent Rock-It R-30 headphones I was using, the 2.0-channel audio sounded notably clear and free of coding artifacts.
The iPod touch's little screen isn't adequate for judging video quality, but I can say the picture didn't break up or stutter despite my motel room's weak WiFi signal and, I'm sure, the cut-rate broadband service the motel is using. It was, indeed, a good user experience.
The real question: Is there enough stuff on Popcornflix worth watching? That's a matter of personal taste, but I found plenty enough to kill three TV-less hours in my motel room, and more that I wanted to check out later. Based on what's available now, I doubt I'll be sitting down to a long, relaxing evening of Popcornflix the way I do with Netflix and Vudu, but when I'm stuck in a motel room or an airport and in need of entertainment, I'll be glad it's there.

"President Reagan was a modern day statesman, whose presidency transformed our nation's political and economic thinking," McHenry said in a statement. "Through both his domestic and international policies he renewed America's self confidence, defeated the Soviets and taught us that each generation must provide opportunity for the next."
McHenry says it's only logical for Reagan to replace Grant on the $50 bill because several historians have ranked Reagan as a much better president than Grant. McHenry specifically cites a 2005 Wall Street Journal survey of scholars who placed Reagan at No. 6 and Grant at No. 29.
"Every generation needs its own heroes," McHenry also said. "One decade into the 21st century, it's time to honor the last great prseident of the 20th and give President Reagan a place beside Presidents Roosevelt and Kennedy."
Franklin Roosevelt's face currently appears on the dime while John F. Kennedy's image is on the half-dollar.
Of course, Grant supporters are quick to defend his place on the bill:
"His work in battling against inflation and getting the currency on stable footing opened the way for the economy boom of the late 19th century, Marszalek [executive director and managing editor of the Ulysses S. Grant Association] told CNN. "I don't know why he wouldn't be included, except people forget. It's been a long time."
Marszalek also named a host of other Grant accomplishments, including efforts to promote the rights of freed slaves and native Americans, as well as his post-presidency, two-year tour of the world during which he negotiated the settlement of a dispute between Japan and China.
But the Grant administration was also beset by major scandals -- close to a dozen in all -- which is a primary reason that Grant had difficulty working with Congress and why many modern historians continue to rank the 18th president relatively low.
Still, Marszalek says Grant's death in 1885 was a "national phenomenon" and is "still the biggest funeral any American has had to this day."
This is not the first time that lawmakers have tried to put Reagan on currency. In 2004, legistlation was introduced to replace Roosvelt with Reagan on the dime, but due to Nancy Reagan's opposition it was dropped. Placing him on the $10 and $20 have also been considered by lawmakers since Reagan's death.

Lucy Hale picks up a few groceries after a busy day out and about on Friday afternoon (March 21) in Studio City, Calif.
Earlier in the day, the 24-year-old actress was spotted heading out for a hike and picking up some iced coffee.
Pretty Little Liars Executive Producer I. Marlene King recently opened up about the upcoming season of the series and the possibility of the Ravenswood cast popping up since the spinoff was axed.
"We have a way to sort of visit a mini version of Ravenswood and I think we'll probably try to do that, so that even as writers we have a little closure on that story. We didn't have much of a chance to get that story told, but we'll find some closure there," she tells Zap2It.
She added, "We've certainly talked about it [the cast guest starring]. The [Ravenswood] kids are all fantastic and they have become good friends with Caleb, so it's certainly possible that they would come into his life when he returns to Rosewood."

Snyder said he finds the stainless steel kitchen, which is all

This is the original entry to the large building of the depot:
Currently it is enclosed, but eventually the entry will be visible
from the outside again.
While there appears to be
much to do, Snyder is hopeful the Depot will be fully restored to
its original footprint within the next year or so. When the building
is finished, the city will occupy the south building and AMTRAK will

Step 1Place the potatoes in a large saucepan with water to cover by about 1 inch and a pinch of salt. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are very tender, about 35 minutes. Drain and set aside until cool enough to handle.
Step 2In a large, heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and cool 1 minute, then stir in the garlic.
Step 3Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel the potatoes while still fairly hot. Cut them in a few chunks. Mash them thoroughly with a potato masher, not in a food processor. Add the fried onion and garlic mixture and the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and mix well.
Step 4Add one-third cup sour cream and three-eighths teaspoon nutmeg, or as desired, and salt, pepper and cayenne to taste. Add beaten eggs and mix well.
Step 5Thoroughly grease a 2-quart casserole with olive oil. Add the potato mixture and smooth the top thoroughly. Bake the kugel uncovered until it is firm, about 40 minutes. The kugel can be made ahead of time up to this point, then refrigerated up to 2 days before serving; to finish, reheat (covered with foil) in a 300-degree oven before continuing with the recipe.
Step 6Shortly before serving, heat the oven to 450 degrees. Season the remaining 1 cup sour cream with the remaining one-eighth teaspoon nutmeg, or to taste. Spoon the sour cream mixture over the kugel in dollops, and spread it gently to the edges of the kugel; try not to spread the sour cream to the sides of the pan. Sprinkle the sour cream evenly with the grated cheese, then with paprika.
Step 7Bake the kugel until the topping sets and browns lightly, about 10 minutes.
Step 8If you would like a browner topping, broil the kugel, checking often, no longer than 1 minute, until the topping is dotted with brown. Serve hot.

Eating out doesn't mean eating bad. When you decide to enjoy a meal at a restaurant, be aware of the little lies we tell ourselves, and follow the rules to live by for a happier, healthier life.
Little Lies
We often tell ourselves little lies that are total non-sense. They are lies that fool us into a trap of eating unhealthy types of food. Ask yourself if these sound familiar:
Here are a few rules to live by. Adopt them and enjoy yourself!
Rules to Dining Out
Take Control You are in control of the choices you make regarding what you eat. It doesn't matter what's on the menu, what the waiter says, how you feel, or what the situation is. You are still in control of choosing to eat right.
Salads Don't Always Equal Health Salads can seem harmless—helpful even. But calories can soar into the thousands if you're not careful. Skip the ranch dressing, fried chicken, croutons, and bacon. Look for "Daniel Plan Friendly" ingredients and always ask for the dressing on the side.
Ask for the Nutritional Guide Pay attention to the nutritional guide. Most restaurants that have more than 19 locations offer a printed overview of the nutritional profiles on their menus. Review it and make a smart decision.
Don't Drink Your Calories Just because you're out, doesn't mean you have to drink a sugary alcohol drink. The alcohol will fool you into thinking you are hungry and the dessert tray will be more appealing. Opt for a sparkling water or hot green or herbal tea.
Get the Sauce on the Side Whether it's meat, salad or any other dish, get the sauce and dressing on the side. Foods grilled or prepared without sauces are delicious and the sauces can just add a twist. You want to be in control of your nutrition at all times.
The Waiter (and Restaurant) is There to Serve You Don't be afraid to ask for what you want, even if it's not on the menu. The restaurant wants your business and repeat visits. The waiter wants a big tip and will do almost anything to help you feel completely satisfied with your meal. Also, the waiter has inside knowledge of the menu items, so ask what's the healthiest and best items that day.
Appetizers: Start with Protein The worst is bread or fried items. Instead, start with appetizers that are protein rich. A few examples are: Ahi tuna, hummus with vegetables or shrimp cocktail (with very little sauce).
When Asked, Just Say No Would you like a drink? Can I supersize it for less money? Do you want bread? Can I bring you more bread? Can I get you another? These are typical questions every waiter is instructed to ask. The general rule is if it is not on your plan, SAY NO.
Desert Desserts Don't feel like you have to deprive yourself of dessert. You can choose healthy and delicious alternatives. Strawberries or blueberries are sweet delicacies and totally healthy. If you absolutely must eat a high-calorie dessert, order one and split it.
Beware of "Healthy" Places Just because a restaurant may promote itself as healthy on the outside, it doesn't always mean it's healthy on the inside. Look at the nutritional guide.
Fast Foods in a Pinch Sometimes there are only a few options and fast food restaurants fit the bill. Here are my personal fast foods when I have no other choice:

Lawyers for Boston mobster James "Whitey" Bulger say a jury should decide whether his claim that he was granted immunity by federal prosecutors has merit.
Bulger's lawyers said in documents filed Monday it is not up to a judge to decide whether the 83-year-old Bulger was granted immunity before he goes to trial, but rather it is up to a jury to decide at trial.
The lawyer says allowing a judge to decide the matter is a violation of the separation of powers between the executive and judicial branches.
Bulger, charged in connection with 19 slayings, has claimed he was granted immunity by a former U.S. attorney who has since died.
Prosecutors call the claim "frivolous and absurd" and have asked the trial judge to bar it from trial.

Brown butter lucuma bars taste exotic yet familiar at the same time. Bake the lucuma bars when you want to impress your foodie friends while still satisfying those with less adventurous palates. Lucuma is a fruit most commonly found in Ecuador, Peru, and Chile with a pulp that has a texture like sweet potato or pumpkin and a flavor that some describe as maple-like (although I find the taste to be more of a cross between persimmon and plum).
If you're in the U.S. and you've had lucuma, it was most likely a powdered form of lucama that was used to flavor ice cream (if you are a raw foodist, you may have also used the powder as a sweetener). In fact, I heard of lucuma for the first time when my friends Ian and Gabi mentioned that my candy cap mushrooms (also considered to have a maple flavor) reminded them of lucuma ice cream they had sampled. While lucuma powder has its place (I'll be writing about its use in frosting soon), lucuma pulp is also a wonderful ingredient to work with. If you are lucky enough to live near an international or Latin grocery store, you should be able to find lucuma pulp in the freezer case. Simply defrost the lucuma pulp and use it in place of pumpkin or sweet potato in your favorite dessert recipes. I went with lucuma bars, but lucuma pie is now on my to-try list.
These brown butter lucuma bars are a special treat – decadent, subtly sweet (like Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole), and basically irresistible. Sadly, I know some of you won't be able to try them because lucuma may not be available in your area. If you like the concept but can't find lucuma, this same recipe can be made with sweet potato, pumpkin, or persimmon pulp.
Brown Butter Lucuma Bar Recipe
These brown butter lucuma bars are loosely based on the pumpkin pecan pie bars from Pastry Wiz – the obvious difference being that the lucuma bars have no pecans and no pumpkin.
Brown Butter Lucuma Bars
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 16 ounces lucuma pulp or mashed sweet potato, pumpkin, or persimmon pulp
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs beaten
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Melt butter in a small cast iron skillet or heavy bottom pot on medium-heat.
- Continue cooking butter, stirring periodically, until it browns - about ten minutes.
- Remove browned butter from heat.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix sugar, flour, oats, and baking powder.
- Mix in the browned butter. It's OK if the butter is still hot (just make sure that your bowl can take the heat).
- Press a little more than half of the flour mixture into the bottom of a baking pan.
- Bake for twenty minutes.
- While the crust is baking, combine lucuma, sweetened condensed milk, and eggs in a medium-sized bowl.
- When the crust is done, spread the lucuma mixture over the crust.
- Top with the remainder of the flour mixture.
- Bake 30-35 minutes or until set.
- Cool and cut into bars.

This tutorial was requested by Dabiscuit. As flaming and glowing eyes are quite similar to draw, I've grouped them together. This tutorial only shows you how to colour your eyes to acheive a glowing affect, not how to draw actual eyes, but luckily Dragoart has many great tutorials on how to draw eyes ^_^ Now this tut will cover 3 different ways on how to make your eyes seem glowing, so just pick which one you like the best. I used photoshop for this. I suggest using either photoshop or gimp (although I do like Paint.net I couldn't actualy find a smudge tool in that XD) I suggest that for every step you use a new layer. Hope you enjoy!

America's Largest RV Show, held in Hershey, Pa., is preparing for another record-breaking year.
"I am pleased to report that space sales at the time of this year's show drawing for manufacturer space has not only exceeded last year's show drawing, but total space sales from the 2011 show," said Rebecca Lenington, executive vice president of the host Pennsylvania RV & Camping Association (PRVCA), during the 44th annual show drawing.
The event, which gives manufacturer and booth vendor representatives the opportunity to select their company's location in the show, was held on May 9 at the Hershey Lodge. The show will be held at Hershey's Giant Center Sept. 10-16.
According to a news release, 42 manufacturers and 134 booth vendors have purchased 639,565 square feet and 31,650 square feet of space, respectively, which is 11.86 percent more than the space sold at the last year's drawing. "There are a very limited number of spaces remaining," Lenington reports. "We extended the display area deeper into the parking lot, but never expected this; what a great way to show how the industry is growing."
America's Largest RV Show incorporates both Industry and Public Days to create a true hybrid show. Industry Days provides dealers and manufacturers the opportunity to connect and concentrate on building relationships.
The show is the first to debut the 2013 product. "Industry Days allow me to send half of my sales staff to the show on Monday and the other half on Tuesday," states Dan Saltzgiver, show chairman and owner of Reichart's Camping Center. "This way everyone gets to see the new product."
New for this year is a trip giveaway to the Dominican Republic for dealership principals or campground owners. The business principals, owners or employees can register for the drawing (the more employees that are sent, the better your chance of winning). The prize will be awarded to the principal or owner, but it can be transferred to any employee. A winner will be drawn on Sept. 11 at noon. For more details, visit www.largestRVshow.com.
Industry Days will also feature several informational sessions available, including a full-day F&I Clinic by Tim Spencer of Protective, a full-day Service Writer Clinic by Chuck Marzahn of Marzahn and King, and a half day Advertising Clinic by Ron Wheeler of Wheeler Advertising.
The Red Carpet Breakfast is returning to Chocolate World with a motivational message by NFL Hall of Famer Marcus Allen who will also be available for a meet-and-greet and autographs.

Prop. 13 revision efforts pick up steam
POLITICS Closing commercial property loophole is drive's goal
Nancy Feidelman wasn't interested in a political discussion when she saw a solicitor on her Oakland doorstep as she was preparing dinner.
But after canvasser Erica Bleicher started explaining her organization's campaign to roll back a provision of Proposition 13 that benefits corporate commercial interests, Feidelman opened the door, cut a check and wrote a letter to her Assembly representative.
Bleicher's nearly 2-year-old, Bay Area grassroots organization, Evolve, is getting unusual traction going door-to-door talking about something that has been unmentionable upon penalty of political death for three decades: repealing parts of Prop. 13, the 1978 ballot measure that capped property taxes and set high thresholds for how government can raise taxes.
There's no doubt how liberal this Grand Lake neighborhood is. "Obamanos" is written across one home's living room window; a sign saying "We are the 99 percent" sticks in the front yard of another. But across the state, many other Californians - even some Republicans - are ready to talk about changing Prop. 13.
"This has been an issue that has upset the community for years, and the Oakland public schools are suffering," Feidelman said. Nodding toward Bleicher, she said, "This seems like an immediate, local, direct way to do something about it."
Evolve, as do some other groups, wants to close a provision of the law that deals with how commercial properties are taxed.
Current law
Under the law, an assessment is triggered only if a single entity owns more than 50 percent of the property - a loophole that many corporations easily circumvent, robbing the state of billions of dollars in tax revenue.
Over the years, politicians including former state Sen. Quentin Kopp, an independent from San Francisco, and Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, have tried to close this loophole. Ammiano intends to try again.
Today, the atmosphere may be more receptive. The presidential campaign brought a more intense focus on wealth inequities in the United States, education funding continues to drop in California, and the state's voters are seemingly open to tinkering with the tax structure after approving Proposition 30 in November, which raised taxes.
Talk of change
Analysts believe there is a window of opportunity to take on issues related to Prop. 13. Not only are Democrats - who control two-thirds of the Legislature - talking about other measures designed to chip away at some of Prop. 13's related provisions, but over the next few months, a group of liberals, union leaders and tax activists are meeting to figure out how to talk about curbing part of the measure's power.
"I want to stress that nobody - nobody - wants to talk about" changing Prop. 13's provisions regarding residential property, said Steve Smith, a spokesman for the 2.1 million- member California Labor Federation.
"I like my property taxes where they are," Dennis Hill, 70, told Bleicher when she came to his Oakland home, which he purchased in 1998.
But he wrote a check to her group and a letter to his Sacramento representatives. Hill voted for Prop. 13 but said he "had no idea it would turn out like this" - specifically that California now ranks 47th nationally in how much it spends per pupil. "That's not good," he said.
The challenge for activists is that 64 percent of likely California voters said Prop. 13 has been "mostly a good thing" for the state, according to a survey this month from the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California.
But 57 percent support taxing commercial property according to its market value. A key finding in the survey, said PPIC President Mark Baldassare, is that Republicans were split (47 percent in favor, 48 percent opposed) on that provision.
Jobless rate's effect
But the effect of 45 straight months of a double-digit unemployment rate in California - where the rate is twice as high in some segments of the African American and Latino populations - is changing attitudes.
"I don't think the public is ready to go crazy on this, but they're ready to listen to arguments that they wouldn't have a few years ago," said Mike Herald, a legislative advocate for the Western Center on Law and Poverty, which advocates for the state's poorest residents.
"And if anything is going to happen, it is going to have to come from the public," Herald said. "The Legislature and the governor are not going to be in front on this. They're going to wait and see where the public is going."
In addition to Ammiano's move on commercial property, state Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, introduced a bill that would lower the majority required in local elections to raise parcel taxes to fund schools from two-thirds to 55 percent.
That measure would have to pass both chambers by a two-thirds majority and be signed by Gov. Jerry Brown before it could be put before voters on a statewide ballot in the fall of 2014.
That will give organizations like Bleicher's some time to rally supporters in areas of the state less liberal than Oakland. Evolve organizers believe they're there.
After hearing about the potential of closing commercial property transfers, 38-year-old Bethany Hanson told Bleicher that she's ready to support her campaign. "Any more money for the tax base," she said, "would be great."

It is safe to see a dentist when you are pregnant. Make sure to tell your dentist that you are pregnant and about any changes you have noticed in your oral health. In some cases, pregnancy can actually make some dental problems worse. Brushing and flossing contributes to your overall health, too, and if your mouth is healthy, it's more likely that your baby's mouth will be healthy. It's important to continue to see your dentist during pregnancy for oral examinations and professional teeth cleanings. Good daily care is vital. That means always brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between your teeth once a day, eating a balanced diet and limiting between-meal snacks.
Fluoride helps prevent cavities in children and adults by making teeth more resistant to the acid attacks that cause cavities. When you brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste, use other fluoride dental products and drink water with fluoride you are preventing cavities and strengthening your teeth's enamel.
Fluoride, also called nature's cavity fighter, occurs naturally in varying amounts in water sources such as rivers, lakes and even the oceans. Fluoride was first added to public water systems in 1945 and its use has grown significantly over the past 70 years. The most recent data indicates 74.6% of the U.S. population served by public water systems receive the benefits of fluoridated water.
Studies have consistently shown that optimizing the level of fluoride in community water supplies is safe and effective in preventing dental decay in both children and adults by at least 25%. Simply by drinking water, people benefit from fluoride's cavity protection whether they are at home, work or school.

CHICAGO (CBS) — The nation's largest organization of doctors now considers obesity a disease.
WBBM Newsradio's Regine Schlesinger reports, at a meeting in Chicago, the American Medical Association House of Delegates has voted to declare obesity a medical illness.
Dr. Louis Aronne, director of the Comprehensive Weight Control Program at New York Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical Center, said it's high time obesity be recognized as a disease, calling the evidence incontrovertible.
"The evidence is clear that obesity is a disease," he said.
The AMA's move means 78 million American adults and 12 million children who are considered obese now are classified as having a medical condition that requires treatment. It also puts more pressure on insurance companies to cover the costs of weight loss and weight control treatment.
Dr. Kelly Brownell, a psychologist at Yale University, saw the move as a major step forward in tackling the problem.
"What's needed is the country to take it more seriously from a policy point of view, and to try to correct the conditions that are making the problem occur," he said.
Brownell said obesity is a treatable disease.
"We have a gradation of treatments. We start with diet and exercise. We move up to medical therapies, if that's not successful, and ultimately surgery," he said.
Therapies and procedures such as lap-band or gastric bypass surgeries might now be included in insurance coverage, based on the AMA's decision.

Incline baseball | Highlanders drop two against Sparks
The Incline baseball team dropped a pair of Mount Rose League games to visiting Sparks on Saturday, 25-7 and 11-1.
The Highlanders (6-14-1) matched the Railroaders' four runs in the first inning of Game 1, but Sparks (12-6) scored three more runs in the second, 12 in the third and six in the fourth to take control.
Incline sophomore Tommy Dolan connected for two home runs in the game, including a grand slam, giving him five homers on the year. Aside from Dolan's five RBIs, Jack Clouthier had a double and two RBIs, and Cam Powell, Tommy Thompson and Masxsimo Battel each contributed one hit.
The Railroaders had three home runs — two by Casey Carter, who was 5-for-6 with a double and seven RBIs, and one by Tyler Crow.
Sparks took an early lead with a four-run first inning in Game 2. The Railroaders added a run in the third, five in the fourth and one more in the fifth to end the game on the mercy rule. Clouthier scored Incline's only run in the bottom of the first.
Clouthier, Powell, Battel and Ben Snyder each had one hit as Carter, who started for Sparks, walked one and struck out eight in five innings. Dustin Alexander and Jared Longland both homered for the Railroaders.
Incline is scheduled to play a Mount Rose League game against Whittell at Aces Ballpark on Wednesday at 4 p.m.

I wonder if other writers struggle with this expectation--that their protagonists, particularly female protagonists, not only be well-written but good. Hypergood, it often seems. Because it might have been more than a decade ago now, but I have pretty vivid memories of my own teen years, and they include:
- Punching a hole in the dining room wall when I was a thirteen-year-old with anger issues.
- Liking some boys who were distinctly not good for me.
- Flipping my best friend the bird when she sat down next to a boy I liked at a punk concert.
- Getting into many shouting matches with my mother.
- . . . among other things.
This isn't true for guys, of course. A YA guy who acts jealous is often just showing how much he cares. A YA guy who breaks stuff? Highly likely to be built up as a mysterious, passionate love interest. The issue of representation and responsibility when it comes to writing teenage boys deserves a post in itself. My point is, however, that we're more forgiving when it comes to these complicated behaviors in the male characters of the genre.
If you've never read The Secret Garden you should know that Mary begins to book as a rather complicated girl. She's been spoiled by her wealthy parents and servants in colonial India. When they die, she's shipped back to England, where she continues to lord over other people like an entitled brat. Later, she meets another entitled brat. And it's only through their friendship that both characters grow a little more human.
I think we could do worse here than to look to the classics. Mary's character arc is satisfying. She grows and changes and learns. This process would not be quite so satisfying if she herself weren't quite so terrible a person at the outset of the novel. In this way, the narrative depends on Mary being an unlikable character. She's certainly not a wish fulfillment character. It's her situation, not her person, that's enviable (because really, what kid wouldn't envy her situation? I know I would have loved a secret garden, a little robin who understood me, and a boy who could tame foxes and crows). However, she's still compelling. She's an interesting person, and much of what makes her interesting are her flaws--and her own initial refusal to see those flaws.
More, Mary's arc is realistic. There are repercussions to her actions and her behaviors. The servants at Misselthwaite Manor know that she's a brat, after all. And through these repercussions, and the experiences of the book, Mary begins to grow. She softens, though she's still flawed, of course. She learns and changes, as most girls do. As I did, too. I no longer punch holes in walls like I did at thirteen (thank you, therapy!). I no longer flip my friends off--I talk to them, instead. By the end of my teen years, as I grew into adulthood, I began to make better choices for myself, evolving from the person I once was.
So I'll admit that it's girls like Mary--and girls like me--who I most enjoy reading about in YA. Girls who are compelling, like Mandarin and Grace from Like Mandarin, but complicated (like Tris from Divergent). Girls who make mistakes with their hearts, like Bianca from The DUFF and Lissa from Shut Out, but learn from those mistakes, too. Girls who are a little bit of a hot mess at times, it's true--but girls who remain interesting and above all real. I'll admit that I've grown a bit tired of talking about Mary Sues and whether girls are too stupid to live. These days, I'd much rather talk about truth and growth and resonance. These are the things that make life interesting, after all--much less literature.

Here is the first chopper I ever built,I call it Hooligan!Its a OCC I streched 10" and moved the seat post back,Im using a WCC front end! 8) :mrgreen:
2 of the front tires on Grand-son's bike
Let me put myself in line to buy the sand Rover if you ever sell it. I want it!
Dr. T
I'll start a list.
Absolutly LOVE this. Kick royal ..... This is my style. Now for my old build:
OK, Im still lame.......dont do pics yet......
But, mindtrip this: Just today I dropped the raked fork off the snowbank chrome OCC and stuck on a cheap MoZo RT20, 26"(I think) Mtn tele-fork (both forks are 1 1/8" threadless). I popped the stock OCC front wheel on, BUT, without the raked fork the wheel now will cross up the forward crankarm in a turn!! More scroungin' to do, guess I need a 20" front wheel........
But, anyway, the fork swap was a snap, so anybody wanting to put an OCC fork on something else with 1 1/8" will do fine, and the steer stem is way longgg.
A threadless stem with motorcycle clubman bars top the fork.
A seatback seatpost, yet to be welded into that huge OCC post, perches an old, wide vinyl Mesinger exercise bike saddle (hey, Im 6'1" x 210ish#).
This is still all mock-up stuff, but its kinda lookin' like a drag chopper bike, not the 'Lake Bike' I was originally thinkin'.
Oh, and if nobody has done it yet, I think I'll call it Morph........
My hearse "Morticia"
16" OCC rims, tires and fenders on the rear and the legs with cast triple trees on the front.
This is my current in the works project.Its a 1941 Schwinn dx with 16" OCC ray forks and 24x3.0 tire.White paint and dx tank coming soon along with other stuff.
What a great idea for a suspended rear!! Love leaf springs, how much do they actually "give"?
Here is one I built 3 or 4 years ago.... Used pretty much all the parts from a $40 OCC bike to build it....
Hey Everybody,
I'm posting a few pics for gcrank1. We've been discussing his build off line for a bit and he got some cool pics today!
Pretty cool bike, I have to say. He'll add some comments. Here goes:
Way To Go Buddy!
I was confused for a bit wondering why would he put the crank on backwards, then the second photo clears it up. Cool downhill racer!!!!
Wow, sweet hill, I wanna play!
I just noticed the RRB shirt and the resemblance. Now you need an photo of you going down the hill mimicking the image on the shirt!!!!
I put that picture in a build thread for him
Think he'll add some details on the build soon
Thanx MC!
Im a 59 yr. old grampa of 3,"goin' for the brass ring"........
My oldest Grandson gave me the ratty OCC (Ive mentioned it before), and after some fits & starts it all of a sudden took form. Its about a $50 special as of now, and today was the first shakedown run on our 'small' hill we call 'The Wall' (because pedaling from the downhill side on the flats, thats what it looks and feels like!). You OCC guys can see what is still used and whats changed. I had NO experience with one before, but this is a hoot!
Somehow I forgot about last years RRBBO6 Trophy
Looking forward to seeing what OCC parts are used in this years Build Off!

Q Regarding building a suicide barrier at the Golden Gate Bridge, I am afraid desperate souls will turn elsewhere. I fear that we will see an increase in suicides along train routes and BART and no overall decrease in suicide rates.
Money should be increased to allow a program that can provide workers to patrol the bridge and possibly prevent deaths. I hope the barrier does not simply disperse the 40 or so Golden Gate deaths per year to other public areas.
Bill McDonald
Redwood City
A Me too. Bridge officials told KGO-TV that studies show 9 of 10 people who were stopped at the bridge before they jumped did not commit suicide elsewhere and went on to live long lives. While there have been 1,600 confirmed suicides since the Golden Gate opened in 1937, officials suspect there have been many more. Still, the actual number of confirmed suicides is staggering and makes the bridge among the top suicide sites on Earth, along with the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge in China.
Q The decision to place a suicide barrier on the Golden Gate Bridge is welcome news for the poor souls who ponder jumping to their deaths. Now the next question, which I think is just as important of a safety issue. When will a median barrier be in place to prevent head-on collisions?
Fran E.
Redwood City
A Late this year or early next year. It will require closing the span for at least 52 hours, the first closure of the bridge's existence.
Q I am writing about a situation that is becoming increasingly annoying and hazardous. My morning commute takes me northbound on Almaden Expressway, then onto Highway 87. There are two left-turn lanes from Almaden onto the 87 onramp. The ramp then widens for an additional carpool lane on the far left, a total of three lanes. Due to this, carpoolers (including me) take the far left turn lane, which moves considerably faster than the next lane.
Since everyone knows the far left lane is the fastest, most people queue up before the left-turn lane, often leaving open space in the other left-turn lane. What then happens is that people will drive past the queue, get in the right left-turn lane, then attempt to push their way into the far left lane, cutting ahead of maybe 40 to 50 cars.
At this point I get to explain to my daughter as I drive her to school that these people think they are special and don't need to wait like everyone else and that they can be a hazard, which is why we queue up in an organized fashion. Where it gets hazardous is when these people cutting in see a little opening and try to abruptly change lanes into a rapidly closing space. I have been nearly hit on a couple of occasions.
Is it possible to get some sort of barrier between the lanes, or even a barrier to keep cars from entering the left-turn lanes at all at the last moment?
Jeffrey Lo
San Jose
A The danger in this move is the rapid deceleration in the Almaden through lane, which often generates outraged honks from through traffic forced to slow as people cut in. County and Caltrans traffic officials may recommend a striping revision that would convert the left lane on Almaden into a carpool lane. This may cause a backup on the expressway, but it could help drivers like you.

I have always loved to make baby gifts, imagining the baby-to-be and anticipating its arrival. Lately this has been particularly true because I myself am expecting my first baby (a girl) this June! After years of crafting gifts for the babies of dear friends and family, I relished the idea of making my own baby something extra special. Of course, a beautiful quilt would be just that!
Picking out the fabric proved to be much easier than I had imagined. I walked into the store one day and there was a stunning rainbow of Japanese yarn dyed linen blend solids, each lovelier than the next! I instantly fell in love and bought a piece of every single color.
Using the traditional "broken dishes" pattern, I approached my work with a sense of unhurried improvisation, putting the blocks next to one another randomly and then rearranging them as I saw fit. It felt more like flower arranging than sewing, and I loved seeing my quilt grow at about the same pace I did! Once the quilt top was finished, I decided that the slow process of hand quilting it would give me plenty of time to daydream about its recipient.
It took me almost the whole length of my pregnancy to create this quilt, but if you'd like to make your own, it doesn't have to be such a major commitment. Machine quilting and pin basting would go a lot quicker. But then again there is something lovely and very rewarding about not rushing certain projects. Kind of like growing a baby!
ps- This quilt can be made in any color palate imaginable using any quiltweight fabric. The Linen Blend Solids used in this quilt have unfortunately been discontinued but the opportunity has us dreaming of using our Watercolor Linen or even Kona Cotton for some gorgeous color options! Also, The pretty stuffed swan in the pictures above was made by the very talented Tamar Mogendorff, you can check out more of her work here.
- 1/4 yard of nine various dark fabrics. I used the Linen Blend Solids in Brown, Rose, Magenta, Navy, Denim, Violet Grey, Light Blue, Lavender, and Black. (If you'd like to use fewer dark fabrics you will need 1 1/2 yards total, but if you're using 1/4-yard pieces you'll need eight total pieces because of their thin width)
- 1/2 yard of three light fabrics. I used Linen Blend Solids in Beige, Light Beige, and Yellow. (Again you will need 1 1/2 yards total, but if you're using 1/4-yard pieces you'll need eight total pieces.)
- 1/2 yard of fabric for the binding. I used the Brown Linen Blend Solid.
- 1 1/4 yards of fabric for the backing. I used the Light Beige Linen Blend Solid.
- A crib sized request weight batting.
- Neutral colored 100% cotton thread. I used color 3260
- If you will be hand quilting your quit you will also want to get Hand Quilting Thread. I used color 0928.
The Linen Blend Solids are, sadly, no longer available. However, the beauty of this pattern is that it will work with any quilt weight fabric. For a brighter version you might want to use Kona Cotton, for richer more jewel toned take on pure linen fabrics you might want to try our Watercolor Linen.
Also, if you are planning on hand quilting please check out the "Materials" section of this previous story. (Hand Quilting uses a lot of tools.)
40-inches square
Put aside your backing and binding fabrics.
Keep your light and dark fabrics separate.
From a pleasing assortment of the dark fabrics cut:
- At least fifty 5 1/4-inch squares. You will probably want to cut five or ten more squares than you need so that you can have some room to play (and mess up!)
From a pleasing assortment of the light fabrics cut:
- At least fifty 5 1/4-inch squares. (Again, you will probably want to cut five or ten more squares than you need.)
Cut each square diagonally in both directions thus yielding four small right triangles. You will have (at least) 200 dark triangles and 200 light triangles.
Sewing the Blocks
You'll be sewing one hundred 4-inch blocks total. When sewing this many pieces the best thing to do is to chain piece. Do this by sewing each piece one after another without lifting up your sewing machine foot and then cutting the thread between them apart after you're done with the whole lot.
Pin each light triangle to a dark triangle along one of the short sides. Keep all the triangle pairs facing the same direction, with the light triangle on the top. This will make it easier to piece them together into blocks later. To make the finished quilt look a bit more random feel free to pin a few dark on dark pairs and light on light pairs together.
Chain piece the triangle pairs together along their pinned sides.
Press each sewn piece open with the seam allowance pressed towards the dark fabric. You now have a larger right triangle
Each block is made out of two of these larger right triangles sewn together along their long sides. The seam allowances should be facing in opposite directions as shown above.
Pin each sewn triangle piece to another one, right sides together, along their long sides paying special attention to lining up the center seams and mixing up the colors. Chain piece these pairs together and snip them apart.
Press the blocks open. You'll have to press the seams randomly to one side or another because there is no one dark side.
Sewing the Blocks Together
You should have at least 100 blocks. (It's great if you have more!)
You'll be sewing together strips of five blocks to start (shown in the diagram above) and then sewing five of these strips together into quadrants of 25-total blocks (shown in the diagram below.) You can either piece the strips and then lay out the quadrant or arrange the whole quadrant and piece the strips from that.
To sew the strips: Sew five blocks together, one after another in a pleasing arrangement. Don't worry about the blocks facing the same way, it will look nicer if they don't. Repeat five times so that you have five strips.
Sew the five strips together along their long sides paying very close attention to matching up the seams of the blocks together. Your seam allowances are going to get a little crazy at this point especially at the corners so make sure to use a lot of pins, sew slowly over them, and try to iron them in one direction consistently once they're sewn. This group of 25 blocks is one quadrant.
Repeat this to make three more quadrants.
Arrange the quadrants so that you like the way they look. Sew the top two quadrants together and then sew the bottom two quadrants together. Then sew the top and bottom together. Again, pay very close attention to matching up the corners of each block.
Your quilt top is done!
Quilting and Binding
How you finish your quilt is up to you. If you have never hand quilted anything before this might not be the best project to start with because it's a bit thick in places due to all of the seam allowances.
For a refresher on Hand Quilting you might want to check out out Hand Quilting Tutorial here.
If you'd like to machine quilt it our Courthouse Steps Mini Quilt Project goes through that process in depth (scroll down to the bottom.)
Or for an even quicker way to quilt, you could tie it. For that process check out our Tied Quilting Tutorial here.
You can also check out our Quilt Finishing Tutorials for ways to bind it.
However you choose to finish your quilt I hope you have as much fun making it as I did!

[Verse 1: Fiend]
He never really saw the bullet coming
No type of instinct for running
I wish he would have came with me to London
I never knocked his hustle, I was the one that gave him muscle
And showed him how to make a missle, snap a bone gristle
Red peppered the floors, only by the doors
In case the D.E.A. got a drug sweep tour
Confuse the canine looking, and keep one on your waistline
A few thoughts when they really wanna chase mine
Why they wanna replace mine shots of tequila when I chase mine
One bullet proof transport, [?] number on who made mine
Smoking that gray pine, they save mine
I had to seek it, now I'm one of the ones that can speak it
[Interlude: Curren$y]
Ain't never gon' die homes
Too mufucking live for 'em
Tryna throw cases on him like a iPhone
[Verse 2: Curren$y]
Jet Lifers, never die-ers
Mongooses with the stunt pegs and my seat had the vice grip pliers
Screws loose but the game was tighter
Al Pacino, Robert Loggia, Michelle Pfeiffer
All survived the action cause they was actors
This real shit is tragic homie, them automatics is actually clapping
We gon' have to pour liquor if you can't move a lil' faster
They was sparin' yo sister out of respect but now they getting at her
Cause you gone homes it done matter
Shit cold as fuck but we know everyday it happen
Some people never knew until the First 48 came through
The television but my niggas really living in it fool
[Chorus: x2]
You didn't see it coming, no type of instincts for running
I wish you would have came with me to London
You didn't see it coming, no type of instincts for running
I wish you would have came to London

Lewis & Clark revives connection to prestigious orchestra
November 28, 2012
Lewis & Clark has renewed its connection with the prestigious Portland Chamber Orchestra, bringing world-class music to campus once again. The orchestra is performing three concerts at Lewis & Clark throughout the academic year, making its music widely accessible to our students.
Portland Chamber Orchestra was founded in 1947 by Lewis & Clark professor and conductor Boris Sirpo and was based on campus for many years.
"Resurrecting the connection between the Portland Chamber Orchestra and Lewis & Clark College is tremendously exciting," said Michael Johanson, assistant professor of music. "It promises to provide our community with numerous and wonderful opportunities for collaboration with this highly regarded orchestra, which is well known for exploring connections between music and other art forms."
Portland Chamber Orchestra is the oldest incorporated chamber orchestra in the United States.
"We look forward to a fruitful and engaging partnership with the PCO for years to come," said Johanson.
Portland Chamber Orchestra performed on campus in late September and will return to campus for concerts on December 23, 2012, and June 9, 2013.

In California's small community of good government advocates, there is considerable gossip about the Think Long Committee, a group of big names convened by homeless billionaire Nicolas Berggruen to study the state's goverance problems.
The gossip is the product of two things. The first is the feeling that Think Long hasn't worked all that closely with other good government groups. The second is the delay in the release of Think Long's recommendations for fixing California's troubles. Think Long was originally supposed to release its recommendations in June. Then the date slipped to September. Then October. Now it's November, and word is: they're close.
The delay matters in the minds of reformers because of the good government fixation on the initiative process as the only way to fix California. The conventional wisdom is that, if Think Long wants to make changes, it needs to have initiatives drafted in time to qualify for the November 2012 ballot. And, practically, one should file now and begin the process of getting a title and summary and gathering signatures.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
My take is different. Think Long should delay as long as it likes. Producing recommendations that fit together and would actually fix the state's core governance problems should be the goal -- not qualifying measures for a particular ballot. It would be even better if Think Long ignored the ballot initiative process entirely and instead urged that its recommendations be taken up in a constitutional convention, which is the better way to stitch together a new system of governance (as opposed to doing what Californians always do -- trying to fix things with one-subject-at-a-time initiatives that are sold as silver bullets but often have unintended consequences, and can't be fixed once they are passed).
Plus, when your name is Think Long, you have every right to procrastinate. The virtues of names like this are clear -- I've always thought it wise that my former Baltimore Sun colleague David Simon, who created HBO's The Wire and other TV series, named his production company Blown Deadline.
So to Think Long, think longer.

There are several types of diabetes.
Type 1
Type 1 diabetes – previously known as juvenile diabetes – is typically diagnosed in children and young adults. In Type 1 diabetes, the body doesn't produce insulin. With the help of insulin therapy and other treatments, even young children with Type 1 diabetes can learn to manage their condition and live long, healthy, happy lives.
Type 2
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In the case of this Diabetes, the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or the cells in the body ignore the insulin it produces.
Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes manifests itself in pregnant women usually around 28 weeks or later into their pregnancy. Women with this type of diabetes often cease to have it after giving birth.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Furniture, art and memorabilia from the estate of U.S. comedian Bob Hope, including presidential books and photographs, will be sold at live and online auctions next month, Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills, California, said on Tuesday.
Hope, whose career in vaudeville, radio, film and television spanned six decades, died at age 100 in 2003.
The actor and singer starred in dozens of films, including a series of "Road" movies with actor Bing Crosby, hosted television specials and entertained U.S. troops around the globe with his United Service Organization (USO) shows from 1942-1988.
Proceeds from the sales on September 20-21, which could fetch as much as $1 million, will go to the Bob and Dolores Hope Charitable Foundation.
"This collection represents over 60 years of Hope's illustrious career. It take us back to his vaudevillian days and all the way through his time on the golf course," Martin Nolan, executive director of Julien's Auctions, said in a statement.
An antique George I bureau cabinet, with a pre-sale estimate of up to $70,000, two Turkish carpets valued at $25,000 and $30,000, and a John F. Kennedy inscribed photograph to Hope, which could sell for up to $6,000, are among the highlights of the sales from the collection.
An avid golfer, Hope established an annual PGA Tour pro-am golf tournament played in the Palm Springs, California, area to raise funds for charity. His collection of putters, tees, golf memorabilia and his personal golf cart will also go under the hammer.
