"I am home now– on feeling at home or being rootless" is the theme of this year's gingerbread house exhibition at the Swedish Museum of Architecture in Stockholm. Home can be a safe haven to which you return each day, a place far away or a longing for something unachievable. What is home to you? Under three catagories – 'children under the age of 12', 'architects and professional bakers' and 'everyone else who bakes' – people could submit their contributions. Here some of my favourite pieces.
All the entries will be displayed at the Museum of Architecture from 1 December 2010 til 9 January 2011. Between 1 December and 10 December the public can vote for their favourite entry either at the museum or here.

For 54 years, Meals on Wheels has provided lunches to seniors in need.
And, during these challenging economic times, the needs have grown.
"All of the routes are full with large waiting lists for seniors who need meals," said Sharon Fitzgerald, program manager.
In Pittsburg, Bay Point and Antioch, the group has 16 daily routes.
Meals on Wheels is a program that delivers no- to low-cost meals to the homes.
"We are, in many cases, their last resort for food that is prepared and ready to eat," Fitzgerald said.
In East County, Meals serves nearly 300 seniors a nutritious meal each weekday. Overall, the program serves about 800 meals in Contra Costa.
A "typical" recipient is about 84 years old, no longer drives and "depends on their (delivery) as, in many cases, their main meal."
Fitzgerald said about 59 percent of the seniors live on $1,000 a month or much less. "We have seniors in East County living on $200 to $400 a month; well below the poverty level."
That big need means a higher demand for volunteer drivers.
The organization currently has 73 permanent drivers but needs more. She said substitute drivers are also wanted.
Meals are delivered between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. weekdays. Seniors who need weekend meals are provided a frozen meal for Saturday, Sunday and holidays.
In addition to providing meals, those delivering sometimes double as a safety check for the seniors.
Funding is via the Older Americans Act, grants but primarily from private donations. When possible, some clients donate toward their meals.

A CUT ABOVE: A community — of stylists — is rallying around one of its own.
A dozen area salons are joining forces from noon-4 p.m. Oct. 21 for a haircut-a-thon.
All proceeds from the event will help Antioch resident and beautician Tami Clark, who was severely injured in an August boating accident.
Clark suffered a litany of injuries, including both legs fractured, a broken neck and a skull fracture. After four surgeries and a couple weeks in the hospital, the Antioch High grad returned home but needs 24-hour care. While recovery is going well, Clark still has a long healing road ahead of her.
And, because she is self-employed with no benefits, several fundraisers are being held to help with bills.
And that's where the dynamic dozen comes into play. All who attend one of the designated salons will receive a haircut for $20. Money will be donated to the Tami Clark Foundation.
The shops are: In Antioch, Wild Orchids, 1328 Sunset Drive, 925-759-6666; Bella Fortuna Salon, 5865 Lone Tree Way, 925-754-4000; Blue Rock Salon, 4049 Lone Tree Way, 925-978-9350; Hair Gallery, 3670 Lone Tree Way, 925-754-5212; Latinos Hair Salon, 611 East 18th St., 925-753-1663; Teazz, 606 W. 2nd St., 925-754-3001.
In Brentwood, there's Salon Dame, 3860 Balfour Road, 925-240-1747; Vibe Salon, 390 W. Country Club, 925-240-9900; and Salon Vitor, 6560 Lone Tree Way. And, in Oakley, there's DK Salon, 1625 Main St. Suite 1001, 925-679-9089; Vamp Salon, 2170 Main St., 925-418-4949; and Secret Garden, 3663 Main St., 925-565-6893.
All salons will take advance appointments and walk-ins. They ask that customers come with clean, dry hair. In addition to the haircuts, all places will raffle $100 worth of TIGI products, a sponsor of the cut-a-thon, and other prizes.
For more info, call 925-759-6666 or visit www.facebook.com/groups/tamiclarkfoundation. You can also simply donate via PayPal to email@example.com
FALL INTO FUN: The Pittsburg Women's Community League hosts its annual fall luncheon at 11:30 p.m. Oct. 27 at the Community Presbyterian Church, 200 East Leland Road.
Over the years, the event has benefited a litany of programs that the 49-year-old club sponsors, including scholarships and book giveaways. This year's proceeds go to the Pittsburg High School jazz band, which will head to the Fiesta Bowl in 2013 and London in 2014.
In addition to a salad buffet, the band will perform. Also included are raffle prizes, white elephant gifts and a bake sale.
Cost is $5 per person. For more info, call 925-439-8145.

Many people are frightened whenever they notice what appear to be winged ants in or around their home. That's because they are unsure whether or not these insects are actually a termites, and are afraid their home may be infested. These two bugs are similar in appearance, yet each one has some distinct features that help them be easily identified.
Termites have short straight antennas, while flying ants have longer ones that are bent at an angle. Termite antennae sometimes look like a string of beads whenever they are examined up close. The body of a termite is oblong and narrow, and appears to be one solid mass. On the other hand, flying ants have three distinct sections to their body characterized by a somewhat smaller head and thorax (midsection) and a slightly larger abdomen. Both insects have two sets of clear wings. Termite wings are long, narrow and evenly proportioned, with the top set of wings being precisely the same size as the bottom pair are. Flying ant wings are more curved than those of termites, with the upper set of wings being larger than their lower ones are. Aside from examining the insects themselves, there are other ways to determine whether the swarms you see are actually ants or termites. If you are infested with termites, you may notice things such as:
- Piles of wings lying on the floor
- Presence of what appears to be sawdust lying on your floor
- Mud tubes or tunnels located on the foundation of your home
Ants and termites both develop wings during their reproductive stages. During this time, they are referred to as alates, and generally begin to swarm as part of the mating process. Termites that are not involved in this process are larvae-like creatures that somewhat resemble maggots. The presence of these insects outside along with swarmed ant-like pests inside could also be evidence of a termite infestation. Whether your home has flying ants or termites, you'll need a West Palm Beach exterminator to help you get rid of them. Contact us to schedule an on-site visit so that we can help you determine your exact pest control needs.

When he took on a pivotal role in "The Amazing Spider-Man," Denis Leary got a stamp of approval from a genuine Spidey-loving pal – who also happens to be "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star Jeff Garlin.
"I have a good friend, Jeff Garlin, who is a Spider-Man freak," Leary tells PopcornBiz, "and he was the first guy that said to me: "The first time I met you, I thought you were George Stacy," and that was 30 years ago. He had an old comic book frame on his computer and he showed it to me, and I was like, "You're sick!" And he was like, "No, I'm a Spider-Man freak." People take it very seriously."
Leary says he wasn't previously conversant with Stan Lee and John Romita Sr.'s original Spider-Man comic book storyline that introduced his character Capt. Stacy - the policeman father of Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), the love interest of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) – before taking the part. "I'm more of a Batman guy – not the '60s Batman, but the really dark Batman," he says. "My wife was a Spider-Man nut, which is why I went to the Tobey Maguire movies."
U.S. & World
The wall-crawler's rebooted installment is more in line with Leary's preferred kind of comic book adventure. "It's a pretty dark vision, the new Spider-Man," says the standup comic-turned-formidable dramatic actor. "It's a darker story, but there are some very funny things in it. Some of them were scripted, and some of them came out of the work."
Leary says he was wowed by the comic book saga's new central couple. "They're actually more mature than I am, so that says a lot," the "Rescue Me" star asserts. "I loved Andrew, I really did. He's terrific in the role. He was trained as a gymnast when he was growing up in England, which came in handy. Most of the stunts in the movie are done live, in front of the cameras. There's a ton of stuff. He's just a terrific actor. I really loved working with him. I thought he was great. Same thing with Emma. She's 22 years old - I don't want to tell you what I was doing when I was 22 years old. I was very impressed by her."

It's that time of year again, when RCCS auction viewings are in full swing. RCCS (Rofeh Cholim Cancer Society) is a non-profit organization, providing an array of services for cancer-stricken patients in need; primary among them is the subsidizing of health insurance premiums, enabling those in need to obtain the best possible medical care.
With black and white as the color scheme, I mixed and matched differnet shapes and sizes of black and white dishes.
With simple iron-on-transfers, you can transfer any white cloth napkin into a conversation piece. Iron on a message, monogram or design to match your party.
Group similar items together. Set drinks together (the drinks photo is before we filled it with kiwi, blueberry and pina colada..) On a side note, it's better to place a runner or tablecloth under the drinks as they tend to spill and can ruin the furtniture.
Have fun planning your next event, until next time.
Shevy Weiss
So talented! Magnificent table setting and love the black and white color scheme. Great tip, the iron-on transfer, but where do you purchase them?
Shavy! I am always so impressed-- I need to come next year!
I love all the white vases lined up on the dark table.
hi cookmama!u can purchase the iron -on transfer at michaels,or any craft store.

More than $1 billion is pouring into the coffers of cities, school districts and other public entities across Los Angeles County, as the state redistributes $4 billion formerly used to battle blight.
Money that for decades was earmarked for use by redevelopment agencies is now being funneled to local governments, which can spend the money as their regions warrant without strings attached. A report released last week by the California Department of Finance details how much has been redistributed over the last two years to cities, counties, K-12 and community college districts and county education offices.
"This is money that otherwise would not have been coming to all of these taxing entities in this way," said Ryan Alsop, L.A. County's assistant CEO for intergovernmental and external affairs. "This was all part of the governor's grand plan -- freeing up money for state, local governments."
In 2011, as the state was caught in the grip of the recession. Gov. Jerry Brown battled successfully to abolish more than 400 redevelopment agencies and to use that property-tax revenue to fund education and other core programs.
That put an end to agencies that oversaw the revitalization of Chinatown and Bunker Hill in Los Angeles, Old Town in Pasadena, the Pine Avenue streetscape in Long Beach and the 19th and Sunrise neighborhood in San Bernardino.
"Most of those cities had their own redevelopment agencies,"
Alsop said. "Now that money is no longer obligated for redevelopment, they can use it for whatever they want, such as operations, services, economic development."
Although the state report shows Los Angeles has received nearly $81.7 million over the last two years, Assistant CAO Ben Ceja estimated the actual total is closer to $105 million because the city continues to receive revenue from projects that were in the works when the redevelopment agencies were abolished. He said L.A. has used the redevelopment money to bolster its contingency fund and to cover shortfalls in department budgets.
Los Angeles and about 70 of Los Angeles County's 88 cities received redevelopment money because of projects within their boundaries. They include Long Beach, at $31.4 million; Burbank, $16.7 million; Monterey Park, $3.5 million; and West Covina, $1.75 million.
Local governments in San Bernardino County received more than $429 million. That includes almost $10 million for Rancho Cucamonga, $4.2 million for Ontario. $3.2 million for Montclair and almost $2 million for the city of San Bernardino.
School districts around L.A. County got about $258.5 million, while community colleges received $41.5 million. In San Bernardino, those allocations are $132.6 million and $19.5 million, respectively.
State officials, however, said the redirected money doesn't boost the districts' bottom lines but instead is used by the state to fund education, as mandated by Proposition 98.
Los Angeles Unified received about $77.5 million -- money from L.A. and the other cities that had projects within its 700-square-mile boundary.
"For our bottom-line purposes, there's no change," said Megan Reilly, the district's chief financial officer. "What it tells taxpayers is, yes, my tax dollars are really going to support education. What I am going to see that's different is that it will help free up resources at the state level."

Building A Future Based on a Golden Foundation
As other children were dreaming of becoming astronauts, Spokane, Wash.'s Kevin Witkoe was dreaming of building the rockets to send those astronauts into space. Science is a passion he's continued with and is using his recently awarded Goldwater Scholarship to help develop it.
"When all the kids wanted to be astronauts, I wanted to build the rockets."
"I've always liked working with my hands, building things and seeing how they worked," says Witkoe, a mechanical engineering junior.
At the University of Idaho, Witkoe, has moved beyond his first building blocks and Lego rockets and is interning with NASA and working with university researchers on robotics. As part of the Idaho Space Grant Consortium, Witkoe spent last summer at NASA's jet propulsion lab in Pasadena, Calif. working on making a robotic gripper for rock surfaces in microgravity. He will be returning to the lab this summer to develop tools for the robotic arms of the lunar robot Athlete.
It was his internship, and research with mechanical engineering assistant professor Eric Wolbrecht on robotic hands to help stroke patients' physical therapy, that helped him earn the Goldwater scholarship. Witkoe is working on calculating the necessary speed of the robotic hand for it to be an effective therapeutic tool.
While research was a part of the application requirements, Witkoe also wanted to gain experience writing for when he goes to graduate school, where he will be publishing articles for scientific journals.
"It was a challenge; I wanted to see if I was competitive with other students across the nation," says Witkoe, who plans to earn a doctorate in mechanical engineering and conduct research in robotics and/or teach at the university level.
While his coursework keeps him busy, he also participates in the Vandal Atmospheric Science Team as the assistant flight director. He works with associate professor of electrical engineering David Atkinson and other students across multiple disciplines to send weather-recording instruments into the air by high-altitude weather balloons. Witkoe is in charge of ensuring the recording devices are separated from the balloon after the readings are taken.
He also works with Ed Galindo, director of the Natural Resources Tribal Cooperative at the University of Idaho Aquaculture Research Institute, creating space-related science kits that focus on engineering and science for schools with underserved science programs.
"It's a great opportunity to get students interested in science and engineering," says Witkoe.
While Witkoe has always been interested in science and engineering, it was the opportunity to do research as an undergraduate, the programs offered and the professors at the university that helped him choose the University of Idaho.
"I'm really glad that I chose to come here," says Witkoe. "Earning a Goldwater Scholarship really shows that what I am doing here is nationally competitive."
Witkoe was one of 271 scholars named. University of Idaho physics sophomore Rebcca LaVerne Winzer was also named a Goldwater scholar. The Goldwater Scholars were selected on the basis of academic merit from a field of 1,107 mathematics, science, and engineering students who were nominated by the faculties of colleges and universities nationwide. His one-year scholarship will cover the cost of tuition, fees, books and room and board up to a maximum of $7,500.

Trofim Denisovich Lysenko (Template:Russian:Трофи́м Дени́сович Лысе́нко, Template:KRANIANТрохим Денисович Лисенко, Trochym Denysovyč Lysenko) September 29|1898|September 17 – November 20, 1976) was a Soviet agronomist of Ukrainian origin, who was director of Soviet biology under Joseph Stalin. Lysenko rejected Mendelian genetics in favor of the hybridization theories of Russian horticulturist Ivan Vladimirovich Michurin, and adopted them into a powerful political-scientific movement termed Lysenkoism. Today much of Lysenko's agricultural experimentation and research is largely viewed as fraudulent.
His unorthodox experimental research in improved crop yields earned the support of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, especially following the famine and loss of productivity resulting from forced collectivization in several regions of the Soviet Union in the early 1930s. In 1940 he became director of the Institute of Genetics within the USSR's Academy of Sciences, and Lysenko's anti-Mendelian doctrines were further secured in Soviet science and education by the exercise of political influence and power. Scientific dissent from Lysenko's theories of environmentally acquired inheritance was formally outlawed in 1948, and for the next several years opponents were purged from held positions, and many imprisoned. Lysenko's work was officially discredited in the Soviet Union in 1964, leading to a renewed emphasis there to re-institute Mendelian genetics and orthodox science.
Though Lysenko remained at his post in the Institute of Genetics until 1965,[1] his influence on Soviet agricultural practice declined by the 1950s. The Soviet Union quietly abandoned Lysenko's agricultural practices in favor of modern agricultural practices after the crop yields he promised failed to materialize.
Early rise Edit
Lysenko, the son of Denis and does this actually work, born to a peasant family in Karlivka, Poltava Oblast, Ukraine and attended the Kiev Agricultural Institute. In 1927, at 29 years of age, working at an agricultural experiment station in Azerbaijan, he embarked on the research that would lead to his 1928 paper on vernalization, which drew wide attention due to its practical consequences for Soviet agriculture. Severe cold and lack of winter snow had destroyed many early winter-wheat seedlings. By treating wheat seeds with moisture as well as cold, Lysenko induced them to bear a crop when planted in spring.[2] Lysenko coined the term "Jarovization" to describe a chilling process he used to make the seeds of winter cereals behave like spring cereals ("Jarovoe"); this term was translated as "vernalization" from the Latin "vernum" for western texts.[3]
Later, however, Lysenko falsely claimed that a vernalized state could be inherited - i.e., that the offspring of a vernalized plant would behave as if they themselves had also been vernalized and would not require vernalization in order to flower quickly.[4]
Praise for Lysenko's work included such items as credit from the Soviet newspaper Pravda for having discovered a method to fertilize fields without using fertilizers or minerals, and for having proven that a winter crop of peas could be grown in Azerbaijan, "turning the barren fields of the Transcaucasus green in winter, so that cattle will not perish from poor feeding, and the peasant Turk will live through the winter without trembling for tomorrow."[5] In succeeding years, however, further attempts to grow the peas were unsuccessful. Similar Soviet media reports heralding Lysenko's further discoveries in agriculture continued from 1927 until 1964; reports of amazing (and seemingly impossible) successes, each one replaced with new success claims as earlier ones failed. Few of the successes attributed to Lysenko could be duplicated. Nevertheless, with the media's help, Lysenko enjoyed the popular image of the "barefoot scientist"—the embodiment of the mythic Soviet peasant genius.
By the late 1920s, the Soviet political bosses had given their support to Lysenko. This support was a consequence, in part, of policies put in place by Communist party personnel to rapidly promote members of the proletariat into leadership positions in agriculture, science and industry. Party officials were looking for promising candidates with backgrounds similar to Lysenko's: born of a peasant family, without formal academic training or affiliations to the academic community.[6]
Lysenko in particular impressed political officials further with his success in motivating peasants to return to farming.[7] The Soviet's Collectivist reforms forced the confiscation of agricultural landholdings from the peasant farmers and heavily damaged the country's overall food production, and the dispossessed peasant farmers posed new problems for the regime. Many had abandoned the farms altogether; many more waged resistance to collectivization by poor work quality and pilfering. The dislocated and disenchanted peasant farmers were a major political concern to Soviet Leadership.[8] Lysenko emerged during this period inaugurating radically new agricultural methods, and also promising that the new methods provided wider opportunities for year round work in agriculture. Lysenko proved himself very useful to Soviet leadership by reengaging peasants to return to work, helping to secure from them a personal stake in the overall success of the Soviet revolutionary experiment.[7]
Lysenko's genetic theories were grounded in Lamarckism. His work was primarily devoted to developing new techniques and practices in agriculture. But he also contributed a new theoretical framework which would become the foundation of all Soviet agriculture: a discipline called agrobiology that is a fusion of plant physiology, cytology, genetics and evolutionary theory. Central to Lysenko's tenets was the concept of the inheritability of acquired characteristics. In 1932 Lysenko was given his own journal, The Bulletin of Vernalization, and it became the main outlet for touting emerging developments of Lysenkoist research.[6]
One of the most celebrated of the earliest agricultural applications developed by Lysenko was a process of increasing the success of wheat crops by soaking the grain and storing the wet seed in snow to refrigerate over the winter ("vernalization"). Though his work was scientifically unsound on a number of levels, Lysenko's claims delighted Soviet journalists and agricultural officials, who were impressed by its promise to minimize the resources spent in theoretical scientific laboratory work. The Soviet political leadership had come to view orthodox science as offering empty promises, as unproductive in meeting the challenges and needs of the Communist state. Lysenko was viewed as someone who could deliver practical methods more rapidly, and with superior results.[5]
Lysenko himself spent much time denouncing academic scientists and geneticists, claiming that their isolated laboratory work was not helping the Soviet people. By 1929 Lysenko's skeptics were politically censured, accused of offering only criticisms, and for failing to prescribe any new solutions themselves. In December 1929, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin gave a famous speech praising "practice" above "theory", elevating the political bosses above the scientists and technical specialists. Though for a period the Soviet government under Stalin continued its support of agricultural scientists, after 1935 the balance of power abruptly swung towards Lysenko and his followers. Lysenko was put in charge of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of the Soviet Union and made responsible for ending the propagation of "harmful" ideas among Soviet scientists. Lysenko served this purpose by causing the expulsion, imprisonment, and death of hundreds of scientists and eliminating all study and research involving Mendelian genetics throughout the Soviet Union. This period is known as Lysenkoism. He bears particular responsibility for the persecution of his predecessor and rival, prominent Soviet biologist Nikolai Vavilov, which ended in 1943 with the imprisoned Vavilov's death by starvation. In 1941 Lysenko was awarded the Stalin Prize.
After Stalin Edit
Following Stalin's death in 1953, Lysenko retained his position, with the support of the new leader Nikita Khrushchev. However, mainstream scientists re-emerged, and found new willingness within Soviet government leadership to tolerate criticism of Lysenko, the first opportunity since the late 1920s. In 1962 three of the most prominent Soviet physicists, Yakov Borisovich Zel'dovich, Vitaly Ginzburg, and Pyotr Kapitsa, presented a case against Lysenko, proclaiming his work as false science. They also denounced Lysenko's application of political power to silence opposition and eliminate his opponents within the scientific community. These denunciations occurred during a period of structural upheaval in Soviet government, during which the major institutions were purged of the strictly ideological and political machinations which had controlled the work of the Soviet Union's scientific community for several decades under Stalin.
In 1964, physicist Andrei Sakharov spoke out against Lysenko in the General Assembly of the Academy of Sciences:
The Soviet press was soon filled with anti-Lysenkoite articles and appeals for the restoration of scientific methods to all fields of biology and agricultural science. In 1965[10][11] Lysenko was removed from his post as director of the Institute of Genetics at the Academy of Sciences and restricted to an experimental farm in Moscow's Lenin Hills (the Institute itself was soon dissolved). After Khrushchev's dismissal in 1964, the president of the Academy of Sciences declared that Lysenko's immunity to criticism had officially ended. An expert commission was sent to investigate records kept at Lysenko's experimental farm. A few months later, a devastating critique of Lysenko was made public. As a result, Lysenko was immediately disgraced in the Soviet Union, although his work continued to have impact in China for many years after.
- "He is responsible for the shameful backwardness of Soviet biology and of genetics in particular, for the dissemination of pseudo-scientific views, for adventurism, for the degradation of learning, and for the defamation, firing, arrest, even death, of many genuine scientists." [9]
Lysenko died in 1976.

A pursuit in Houston ended unexpectedly when a teenager decided to use his truck to block two shooting suspects being chased by police. But the real shock came when the sexist anchors realized the drivers were women.
The chase started in Southwest Houston with a domestic dispute and a shooting with police following suspects in a black Pontiac Grand Prix with tinted windows on large chrome wheels. This pursuit continued on the large tollway that rings Houston with local news crews wondering who the driver might be, all the time assuming it was a guy.
When the driver of the Pontiac attempted to rejoin the freeway after exiting, the path was blocked by a red truck. Was it an off-duty police officer? Nope, it was 19-year-old Hugo Vargas who said he was scared "I was kinda of scared because he probably would shoot 'cause he had dark-tinted windows."
A fair assumption, and more proof that Houstonians are bad at avoiding trouble.
Once stopped the local police and state troopers jump out, guns and shotguns drawn, ready to tussle with the possibly armed man inside. And out pop these two ladies.
Take that, patronizing sexist anchors! Just because you see a chromed-out Pontiac evading arrest doesn't mean it's a guy. It could be two women!
In their defense, the driver said she didn't realize she was being chased for 16 miles.

Anaheim, Calif., has prepared its Community Emergency Response Team volunteers to respond to questions on social media and use it to aid situational awareness.
With each emergency, the public's use of social media increases and it becomes more apparent that government officials and emergency managers need to devise ways to not only respond to questions posted on these platforms, but also use them to glean information that can aid situational awareness.
Anaheim, Calif.'s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is showing how this can be done. Some of its members have been trained to help with the use of social media during emergencies and planned events. In 2009, Mary Jo Flynn saw social media as an emerging trend and got involved with the technology. Flynn, the assistant director of Anaheim's Emergency Management and Preparedness Division, participates in Twitter chats about social media and emergency management, and it was during one of these discussions that she realized she already had access to a group of volunteers through CERT.
"Instead of creating a brand-new entity and then have to train that entity, vet them and make sure they are a fit for our organization, I would just take our existing volunteers who had that particular skill set, give them additional training and allow them to work with us," she said.
During an emergency, Anaheim's CERT members help staff the hotline room, a phone bank that residents can call to get emergency-related information like evacuation updates. The process that the hotline uses to provide the public with information was nearly identical to the process for receiving and replying to social media messages, Flynn said. "There's just some skill sets that are different in terms of picking up a phone versus knowing how to search Twitter."
For example, when a resident calls with a question, the information is vetted by the public information officer before it's relayed to the caller. The same would be true for inquiries made via social media. Flynn said volunteers can reply with preapproved messages or publicly released information like American Red Cross shelter locations. They also work with the public information officer to get answers that align with the city's message.
Flynn said Anaheim's Emergency Operations Center uses the Incident Command structure, and during an incident, the trained volunteers will report to logistics, where they work as technical specialists in the planning section. This means they can be assigned to work anywhere in the organization. "So we have physically trusted agents in our organization who can collect social media data, images, video or whatever we may need and get it back to us for situational status awareness," Flynn said.
In addition to using social media to help Anaheim during a response, Flynn said social media is important for allowing CERT volunteers to check in. This means using social media or other available communication tools to let their family and friends know they are OK if there is an emergency, as well as using the platforms to tell Flynn if they are available for an assignment. The CERT's social volunteers also can help their online followers and friends by posting Anaheim's messages on their personal accounts. Flynn described this function as "assisting the public information officer in amplifying messages."
Although the social CERT members have only been activated for exercises and helped with planned events, the need to have social-savvy volunteers trained and ready to respond was made apparent recently. Last week, people started connecting directly with the department through Facebook about three arson fires. Multiple social media accounts were used to spread information; Facebook pages included Anaheim Fire & Rescue, Anaheim CERT and Anaheim RACES, and Twitter accounts included @AnaheimFire, @AnaheimCERT and @AnaheimPD.
The #fire on Weir Canyon near Blue Sky is out - you may see fire personnel in area for overhaul.8/19/13 4:28 PM #anaheim ^MJ— Anaheim CERT (@AnaheimCERT) August 19, 2013
"Between us and the Police Department, we were using social media to communicate with the public and they were expecting answers back," she said. "It was manageable on my end, but a bigger disaster would require more personnel resources in order to manage that and that's where the volunteers would come in."
The social media volunteers are required to take IS-42, the Social Media in Emergency Management course that's provided through the Emergency Management Institute. This class provides information about best practices including tools, techniques and how to build capabilities to use social media to support emergency response missions. Flynn also recommends that volunteers take the Social Media for Natural Disaster Response and Recovery class as it becomes available. That course, PER-304, is offered through the National Disaster Preparedness Training Center from the University of Hawaii. While IS-42 is a free online class, PER-304 is taught in person. Flynn said any agency can request through its state coordinator to have the class presented locally. She added that CaliforniaVolunteers, a state office, is interested in offering PER-304 early next year for "CERT programs throughout the state as a means of encouraging adoption and coordination of social media monitoring and service with CERT programs."
Flynn has embraced social media and identified its benefits for emergency management, but said its use isn't one-size-fits-all. "Tweak what you need to make it fit for your community or your volunteers."

BOULDER — Lyons town officials and residents who have been developing plans for a possible expanded public library and community resource center would like to put the proposal for a tax-supported regional library district on Lyons-area voters' November election ballots.
Representatives of Lyons' town government and a library planning committee presented the idea to Boulder County commissioners on Thursday and said they hope to make a similar presentation to the Larimer County commissioners within the next several weeks.
While a specific site and detailed design for the proposed regional library haven't been completed, the facility would either expand or replace the present Lyons Depot Library facility at Fifth and Broadway. Lyons' public library has been housed in that old stone railroad depot building, which reportedly dates back to 1885, since about 1977.
The historic building "is a precious gem for us," town administrator Victoria Simonsen told Boulder County Commissioners Cindy Domenico, Elise Jones and Deb Gardner. But Simonsen and other proponents of the idea of a regional library district said the Lyons-area community needs a facility with more space that could also provide a location and resources for meetings and various other kinds of public community events and gatherings.
Comments from people who attended meetings about the regional library concept, as well as responses to community surveys, have so far been "overwhelmingly positive" about the project, said Mark Browning, chairman of the town's Library Project Steering Committee.
The boundaries of the library district would generally follow those of the Lyons Fire Protection District, Simonsen said, plus an additional area east of Lyons' town limits that lies outside the fire district. The proposal would include properties in unincorporated areas lying outside the town's municipal boundaries, including some areas north of the Boulder-Larimer county line.
The ballot question under consideration would ask residents and property owners within those boundaries not only for their approval of creating the regional library district but would also ask their OK for the district to collect an annual property tax — up to a maximum 5.85 mill levy — to pay for construction and operation of the library and community resource center.
Board of County Commissioners chairwoman Cindy Domenico told the Lyons contingent at Thursday's meeting that she'd like to know more about "how deep the public support is" for the proposal — and how that support is being gauged — before the commissioners decide whether to proceed to put such a question on November's ballot.
Boulder County commissioners took no action on the regional library district ballot-question proposal on Thursday but agreed that within the coming few weeks, they'll schedule and advertise a public hearing on the proposal. That hearing probably will be set for sometime in August.

"As Beaudet adds layer on layer to the story, it's like a punch in the gut. I kept thinking, this could really happen.…'By a Thread' has the ring of authenticity—It's obvious that Beaudet has done his homework when it comes to Mormon customs and culture, to the finer points of our Constitution, in the descriptions of exotic locales such as Vienna and Munich. Most importantly, he understands that love is transcendent." [This is an excerpt. To read the full review, click here.]

"Book was fabulous. Very clever method of weaving several interesting storylines into one suspenseful drama. It continued to keep my interest and never had a slow moment. Very enjoyable reading."
—Garth Gordon Hokanson, Sebastopol, CA
17 September 2010
"By a Thread…is is an exceedingly well-crafted novel with the proverbial 'ordinary men doing extra-ordinary things.' That's one of its great strengths. …Beaudet has carefully woven a well-integrated, believable tale of deception, loyalties betrayed, and young love. … By a Thread has a cinematic quality which makes it an easy read, and I hope it's read by someone who is in a position to make it into a movie."

"I just finished this book—goosebumps all the way to the end! I never read during this time of year because I am sooo busy with the beginning of the school year, but I grabbed it up any time I had some extra minutes. I loved this book. It begins by building the characters, locations, and sets the mood. Before you know it, it grabs ahold of you and you can't put it down. It's surprisingly on point with current affairs and grips you with the possibilities of things swinging out of control politically. With a refreshing point of view and story line, it brings a new twist to fiction that I haven't encountered before. It's a must read! It has great flow, great imagery, and I love the romance! I can't wait to recommend it to my friends. My only question is—when's the next one coming out?!!!"

"In a nutshell, I enjoyed By A Thread! It has an attention-grabbing plot that seems even more plausible given today's political atmosphere and extreme agendas. The complex plot reminded me of some of John Grisham's earlier books, although this book does not have as much information regarding the details of the conspiracy to over-take the United States government that I would have enjoyed. …I would have also enjoyed more descriptive detail about the characters and the setting. I like to be able to form a picture of the characters and locations in a book as well as the intricacies of the plot. That being said, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. It is entertaining and well written." [This is an excerpt. To read the full review, click here.]

"Great book, fun to read. 'By a Thread' is a terrorist/political thriller which is well written and hard to put down once you begin reading it. Marty Beaudet displays a remarkable knowledge of his subjects, adding significantly to the depth of the story line. The reader comes away from the book better informed about the United States political system, Vienna and nature of the Mormon missionary system. My concern about a missionary as the main character was quickly put aside as the story developed and I identified with Elder Davis. I am highly recommending this book to my friends."

"What I was expecting was something along the lines of a Dan Brown or Tom Clancy political thriller. What I got was a story about a man struggling with his beliefs and sense of self. This might have seemed like a rather rude change-up, but I was pleasantly surprised that Kevin's story took over and held my interest throughout. The suspected terrorist, Jassim, is portrayed in a way not often seen in…popular literature or media…. This is a refreshing [change] from the usual stereotypes. I could empathize with both characters, and their trials make the resolution quite satisfying. The political crisis was very real and one could imagine this happening in today's national climate. …I look forward to seeing what Mr. Beaudet will give us next." [This is an excerpt.

"At a time when many Americans are voicing displeasure about elected officials,…Beaudet's story of security agency conspiracies and government takeovers is especially timely and compelling. It also adds to the mix the occasional blurred line between politics and organized religions…. Well-written and suspenseful,…it's definitely an engaging, page-turner of a read… four stars out of five."
—Bob Lind, Echo Magazine (Phoenix, AZ)
October 2010
"…an exceptional book, a labyrinth of situations and outcomes. It is like a Picasso painting, something entirely visible, but hidden by directions of view. …
"It is shocking. It is logical. It is terrifying. Our government is in jeopardy the moment we open the book; we are victims of a cunning sabotage. There are government-shaking plots afoot, myriad conspirators, numbing moral conundrums.
"…a very strong tale. Its strength is its intelligence, its boldness, its honesty…. 'By A Thread' is about a young man, a Mormon, and whether he should believe what he has been told, or should believe the opposing feelings within his own heart." [This is an excerpt.

"Excellent read! As a rule I don't choose political thrillers and admit that I probably wouldn't have read this one if the author had not been a twitter friend. However, I'm glad I did read it even though it scares me to think that something like this story could happen. The book is very fast paced and holds your interest from the very first page, I highly recommend."

"What a wonderfully fun book! Great (and complex) plot full of fun twists and turns, good character development, well researched. Well done! A thoroughly enjoyable read. (Although a bit scary how possible it all… seems….) Is a sequel in the works…?"
—David Wertheimer, (Guemes Island, WA)
13 December 2010
"A fun read and a great page-turner…perfect for the stormy season when you want a good book to lift you out of your winter doldrums. I fell in love with the characters. When do we get to see the movie?"
—Paul Beaudet (Guemes Island, WA)

"When I was a missionary in Rome, our mission president told us to be on the lookout for an orange van. Men had threatened to kidnap two missionaries and force them to confess to being CIA agents. I loved reading this novel, 'By A Thread,' where it turns out the myth is true. The book is well-researched. I felt as if I were really in Vienna and the surrounding areas. The plot is outrageous and yet still believable.…I loved the book and actually think it would make a pretty good movie, too. I expect good things from Marty Beaudet's future novels."

NEWS- Beth's back: Duffy retakes the anchor seat
NBC29's former morning anchor, Beth Duffy, is coming back on the air– and going head-to-head with her old station.
Starting April 16, Duffy will be back in the news business at noon and 5pm on the Newsplex's CBS19, and a week later, she'll anchor a new 6:30 local news program that leads into Katie Couric's CBS News at 7pm.
"I'm excited to get back into the buzz of a newsroom where there's something different every day," says Duffy, who's been on a broadcast hiatus since she signed off NBC29 last March searching for hours that didn't require a 2am wake-up call and 6pm bedtime.
Shortly after leaving NBC29, she took a sales job with the new TV stations in town, Gray Television's Newsplex. A year later, her non-compete contract has ended. "Initially, when I made the change [to marketing], I didn't think I would make the change back," says Duffy, who stresses that she came to the Newsplex to do sales, not news.
Then the opportunity came to go back on the air at times that didn't require the really early or late hours so typical of television.
Duffy will co-anchor the news at noon with Bo Sykes. At 5pm, she'll be on the air with Stephanie Hockridge. "Two females at 5pm is done in D.C.," says Duffy. "The audience is mostly women, and we'll try to veer toward that audience."
The new 6:30 news is for people who don't get home until 6. "It allows them a chance to catch the local news," she says.
The Duffy lead-in could be helpful to UVA alum Couric, says Newsplex general manager Roger Burchette. "It's a chance to watch two of Charlottesville's favorite women back to back," he says.
Over at Duffy's old station, former colleague Kristina Cruise has been anchoring the noon and 5pm newscasts and seems ready to go up against a friend and fellow blonde. [At least until her status became less clear; see lead story–editor.]
"I think it's great because competition is great for everyone," says Cruise. "It's going to push me to the next level. It's good for the community, and I believe our product is really solid."
At presstime, it's uncertain whether Cruise will remain in the anchor desk. "Laura French's return to the air [from maternity leave] will impact our line-up," says NBC29 news director Neal Bennett. And it has been subsequently reported on cvillenews.com that Sharon Gregory will take Cruise's noon and 5pm shows.
"I have the utmost respect for Beth," says Bennett. "I consider her a friend... Competition is still a new thing to Charlottesville. It's fairly common that anchors change stations. I wish her luck– and I hope she doesn't beat us."
And after seven years of anchoring for NBC29, what if Duffy slips and forgets she's now at CBS19? Not likely, says Duffy. "I've been working with CBS19 for a year now. That's my vernacular."
News anchor Beth Duffy returns to the air April 16 at her old station's rival, CBS19.

DENVER (AP) — Jason Motte smacked his glove and then screamed into it as he walked off the mound chomping his gum.
"This was fun," he said.
Only a reliever would think that after escaping a major jam.
Trevor Story hit a two-run homer in the fifth, Colorado's bullpen stranded the tying run on third in two straight innings and the Rockies held off Tampa Bay 7-4 on Monday night, extending the Rays' road skid to 11 in a row.
Story's 22nd homer of the season gave the Rockies a 5-1 lead. The bullpen made it hold up to make a winner out of Tyler Anderson (2-3), who ran into trouble in the seventh and surrendered three of his four runs.
Reliever Adam Ottavino got two outs in the seventh with the tying run on third. Motte allowed a leadoff triple to Evan Longoria in the eighth before striking out the side.
"Adrenaline is kind of what drives me," Motte said. "I love those situations, not that I want to go out there and do it every single time."
Ottavino looked like his old self in his most meaningful performance since being activated from the 60-day DL on July 5. He missed most of last season after Tommy John surgery.
"We were able to do a good job," Ottavino said. "Motte did a great job behind me. That was the story of the game."
No arguments from the Rays.
"We've got to find a way to get those guys in," Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said. "The guys know that. They're doing everything they could to get the big hit, the big fly ball, it just didn't happen. I think you saw Motte dial it up there."
The Rockies added two runs in the eighth and Carlos Estevez closed it out in the ninth for his sixth save.
Drew Smyly (2-11) had another rough outing, surrendering five runs in five innings to remain winless over his last 10 starts.
"I didn't pitch very well today," Smyly said.
Tampa Bay's 11th straight road loss is the third-longest streak in team history. The club record is 13 in a row in 2002.
Story's homer gave the Rockies a four-run cushion, which appeared more than enough for Anderson. The lefty surrendered an RBI triple to Longoria in the first inning — after a 32-minute rain delay before first pitch — but settled in until the wheels came off in the seventh. In the inning, Tim Beckham had an RBI triple, followed by a run-scoring single by Luke Maile and an RBI double from Nick Franklin.
Exit, Anderson. Enter, Ottavino.
With a runner on third, Ottavino struck out Logan Forsythe and got Kevin Kiermaier to ground out and end the threat.
Then, it was Motte's turn. After Longoria lined a triple to the deep center, Motte struck out former Rockies outfielder Corey Dickerson swinging, followed by Logan Morrison and Steven Souza Jr. on called third strikes.
"Unbelievable," said Anderson, who allowed four runs in 6 1-3 innings for his second straight win. "If you want to win games, you have a bullpen like that.
"That was pretty special tonight."
Rays: INF Steve Pearce (strained right hamstring) is expected to be activated from the DL on Tuesday. ... RHP Chase Whitley threw a scoreless inning for Class A Charlotte on Monday in his first game since Tommy John surgery early last season. In the same contest, RHP Brad Boxberger (oblique) allowed a homer in an inning of work.
Rockies: OF Gerardo Parra's sprained left ankle felt "a little stiff," after a recent workout in Atlanta, MGR Walt Weiss said. "He didn't have a setback, want to make that clear," Weiss added.
Dickerson never really got to say goodbye to his Colorado teammates after he was traded to Tampa Bay on Jan. 28 for reliever Jake McGee. So Dickerson wandered over the Rockies' way Monday.
"It was pretty good to say, 'What's up?' and be able to see old faces," said Dickerson, who didn't start. "I'm pretty close to all of them. It will be cool to compete and play against them."
McGee felt the same way about his Tampa Bay buddies.
"I have a new pitch I'll show them," he joked.
Tampa Bay lefty Blake Snell (1-4) makes his first interleague start Tuesday at Coors Field. Righty Tyler Chatwood (8-5) will take the mound for the third time since returning from the DL with a strained back.

Yanks can muster little support for Kuroda
HOUSTON -- The Yankees remodeled their batting order at a price tag of nearly $300 million, a spending spree deemed necessary after too many punchless evenings last season. Through the first 18 innings of this season, they're still waiting for the returns on that investment.
New York was shut down for five innings by right-hander Jarred Cosart, then managed little against four relievers in a 3-1 loss to the Astros on Wednesday at Minute Maid Park. The Yanks finished 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position, stranding eight men on base.
"We're going to be fine," said outfielder Carlos Beltran, who had one of the club's seven hits. "We haven't been able to put anything together, but offensively, I think, we have what it takes to play better and win ballgames. So we don't worry about it."
After a pregame ceremony that honored retiring captain Derek Jeter, Hiroki Kuroda permitted just three hits over six innings of two-run ball. In a recurring theme that has seemed to trail Kuroda's big league career, he pitched well but lacked run support.
"With the lineup like we have, if you keep the game to two runs, I know we'll have a chance," Kuroda said through an interpreter.
Dexter Fowler hit a leadoff homer and scorched a third-inning triple to deep center for Houston, scoring on a Mark Teixeira error. That paced the offense against Kuroda, who walked one and struck out five.
Coming off an 111-loss season, the Astros clinched their first series victory against the Yankees, improving to 4-13 all-time against New York. This marks Houston's first 2-0 start since 2003.
"No one expected us to come in here and win a series against the Yankees, and no one expected much from us period, so it's just staying motivated," Cosart said. "We know what we can do as a team, and if we can keep playing together like this and keep finding ways to win games, who knows what could happen?"
For Girardi the outcome bore too close a resemblance to some of those from last year's 85-win campaign, but the lineup did have its chances.
"Our lineup, obviously, it's a lot different with switch-hitters," Girardi said. "We're not stacking … lefties all together. There's going to be times where you don't score runs. That's part of the game."
Brian Roberts was a bright spot, with three singles, and Brian McCann also punched a pair of hits, though the Yankees came up short in a few key run-scoring opportunities.
In the sixth inning, they parked runners at the corners with one out, but right-hander Jerome Williams struck out Teixeira and got Alfonso Soriano to ground out to third base. Teixeira and Soriano combined to finish 0-for-8 with five strikeouts.
"I'm being too aggressive," Soriano said. "I've got to calm down a little bit more and see better pitches."
Soriano expressed confidence that the Yankees will be able to get on track and start getting the big hits that they need.
"It's only two games. It's nothing," he said. "160 games left, so we've got to keep working hard to get better."
The Yankees knocked on the door again in the seventh against left-hander Kevin Chapman. With two on and one out, pinch-hitter Yangervis Solarte bounced into a run-scoring double play, earning congratulations in the dugout after his first Major League at-bat.
Jacoby Ellsbury walked and stole second base to keep the threat alive, but Chapman fanned Jeter for the third out.
Matt Dominguez gave the Astros a little breathing room in the seventh, slugging a solo home run to right field off reliever David Phelps, and New York wasted Beltran's leadoff double in the eighth before Josh Fields pitched a perfect ninth for the save.
"That's part of when a team's cold," Beltran said. "Sometimes you put two guys in scoring position, and you have difficulties getting those guys in. It's just the second game of the season. I know it's important to win, that every win counts, but at the same time, we have [seen] good pitching from them."

I bought this classic beige mac when I was in Japan last year believe it or not, I can't remember how much it cost or the name of the shop but it's one of my favourite wardrobe pieces. I've been on a seemingly never ending search for a beige and I even pondered getting a Burberry Trench - although, tbh I might still get one! I need to get my butt over to Bicester Village!
Im a believer that everyone needs one of these in their wardrobe. Mixing an old school trench coat even more modern, chic basics really ups the sartorial style factor. Trench coats come back every single season and never seem to go out of fashion. A timeless piece that we never seem to tire of. Definitely make it a key piece in your wardrobe, especially if you crave sophistication and elegance with a air of unpretentiousness. A trench coat is versatile too as you can wear it over casual outfit for everyday occasion or in the evening over elegant dress. It's a good all rounder and an absolute must in my opinion!
Camel coats look awesome looks paired with a all black outfit. It's chic, simple and effortless and incorporating the black and white stripes justs adds a very Lily nod to my look at the same time. Im obsessed with these little shoes from ASOS too. Plain black brogues have always been a staple in my wardrobe but there is something about these ones that seem to barely leave my feet! As I've been really into flat shoes for a while now and after a seemingly never ending stream of trainers and whatnot these have firmly settled as being my current favourites.

It was big enough for a meal, but the unusual catch was better off in the hands of researchers.
It was big enough for a meal, but the unusual catch was better off in the hands of researchers.
�That shrimp was definitely big enough for a shrimp dog, but we froze it instead,� said Mary Bryan Carlyle, who was with a group of friends who caught a jumbo Asian tiger shrimp this week in Carteret County waters.
Carlyle said they were in a canal at the mouth of the Broad Creek, out to catch some shrimp for a Labor Day dinner. When Jacob Clark pulled in his cast net, there was the one tiger shrimp and green tails, which they were after.
They had seen pictures of tiger shrimp and guessed this huge, black shrimp, which Carlyle estimated was 8 inches long, was one of them. They turned it over to Carlyle�s neighbor, who works at the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries, so she could pass it on to biologists to confirm.
The report is the latest of only a handful so far this year. The three other reports have been from Hubert, Oak Island and Oriental.
Those few reports may not indicate tiger shrimp are scarce in Eastern North Carolina waters, however.
Dr. James Morris, a marine ecologist at NOAA�s Center for Coastal Fisheries and Habitat Research in Beaufort, said reports tend to drop as fishermen become more familiar with a species.
�People get used to them,� he said. �They�ve seen them before and don�t tend to report sightings.�
Morris, who conducts research on invasive species, said tiger shrimp are seen more in the fall and more reported sightings could appear. However, he said, they may need to look at new strategies for gauging the presence of the tiger shrimp, such as the use of monitoring programs by fisheries agencies.
But research to-date indicates tiger shrimp have a presence in North Carolina waters.
�It�s a little early this time of year for sightings, but we�re still seeing them and they are widespread,� Morris said.
Asian tiger shrimp are native to the western Indo Pacific, where they are a popular aquaculture species.
How they reached North Carolina is unclear. Some have escaped from an aquaculture facility. Others could have been swept on ocean currents from wild populations in the Caribbean or ship ballast waters.
About 300 tiger shrimp were collected off the coasts of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida in 1988 after the release from an aquaculture facility in South Carolina. But there are no longer any known tiger shrimp farms in the United States.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, that was an isolated incident, and it wasn�t until 2008 that reports of the non-native shrimp arose.
Trish Murphey, a biologist with the Division of Marine Fisheries, has been recording reports of tiger shrimp in North Carolina since that time.
After receiving reports of 16 tiger shrimp being caught off the North Carolina coast in 2008 and 20 in 2009, that number spiked to 257 in 2011. Sam Meadow, a commercial fisherman from Cedar Point, contributed to the 2011 numbers after catching 32 tiger shrimp in the Cape Fear area and bringing them back to Carteret County to show.
The 2011 reports followed Hurricane Irene, which passed through in August and may have been a contributing factor.
While the reports have dropped back down, Murphey and Morris say the tiger shrimp are out there in numbers beyond what may be observed � and there is good reason to watch their presence.
�The fact that they are here is a concern,� Murphey said.
As an invasive species, there are concerns about impacts on the native shrimp, displacing them from their natural habitat. There can also be transmissions of disease.
What impacts tiger shrimp may have on North Carolina�s native shrimp is not yet known but has the attention of researchers.
Species such as the non-native lionfish have reached invasion status in North Carolina. If tiger shrimp keep growing in numbers, they could follow suit.
�That�s part of it; trying to figure out where tiger shrimp are in that invasion timeline,� Morris said.
While out on Queen Creek in July, Bobby Riggs and Naomi Roberts of Hubert found two unusual looking shrimp in their catch.
�We�ve been shrimping for a lot of years and we knew right away what they were,� said Roberts.
Roberts and her husband, a commercial fisherman, knew about the presence of the tiger shrimp in North Carolina waters and recognized the distinctive black-gray color.
They hadn�t yet reached the large size that tiger shrimp are known for but were definitely not North Carolina shrimp.
�One looked like a mix of a bunch of different shrimp,� Roberts said.
They contacted the Division of Marine Fisheries as well, aware that fisheries officials had asked fishermen to report any tiger shrimp they catch.
Roberts said it didn�t take much for them to haul in two, and she suspects there are plenty of other tiger shrimp out there.
�We had two in only a small bucket,� she said.
DMF Biologist Murphey said tiger shrimp are not currently a species they monitor through the division�s formal sampling program, but biologists report them if they catch any.
And the tiger shrimp have been caught from Albemarle and Core Sounds south to Cape Fear.
�They are pretty much throughout our North Carolina (coastal) waters,� Murphey said.

OAKLAND — A long-term road map to expand the East Bay Regional Park District system with 16 potential new park sites was approved Tuesday by the agency's board.
Only one of the 16 proposed parks stirred controversy — the Tesla site east of Livermore. Some district critics said they fear listing Tesla as a potential regional park could undermine state attempts to use the area to expand an off-road vehicle park. But district supporters said the one-time coal mining area and town site has rich habitat and cultural resources that warrant protection as a park.
Other potential new park sites include the Alvarado wetlands near Fremont, the Oakland shoreline at the foot of the new eastern span of the Bay Bridge, a closed portion of the Concord Naval Weapons Station, part of Jersey Island north of Oakley, and a series of now-active gravel pits in Pleasanton.
The vote was 7-0 to approve the master plan, a vision of long-term goals and policies for the park system.
Before it can buy land in an area, the district must first list it as a potential park site.
Eleven people spoke Tuesday afternoon, with more than half weighing in on Tesla.
Don Amador, an off-road vehicle advocate from Oakley, said it is wrong to designate Tesla as a regional park site because the label conflicts with the state park system's plan to use the area to expand the Carnegie off-road vehicle park.
"The park district is interfering with the state's efforts to expand Carnegie," Amador told the park board. "Please take Tesla off your map."
David Duffin, an Alameda resident and advocate for off-road vehicles, noted that the state park system purchased the Tesla property with fees collected from off-road vehicle users in California. "We don't know how our property ended up in your master plan," Duffin said.
Jerry Fouts of Oakdale said the park district is shutting out the interests of off-road vehicle users because their activity does not "fit your narrow view of what recreation should be."
Calling the regional park agency elitist, Fouts noted the park system has no areas for off-road vehicle users.
Park district managers said they listed Tesla as a potential park because it has valuable wildlife habitat and Native American cultural resources. The regional park system would like to be involved with Tesla in case the state Parks and Recreation Department determines that some of the Tesla site should be preserved, park officials said.
David Furst, a Livermore resident, urged the park district to keep Tesla as a park site to protect its environmental and cultural resources.
Keeping Tesla on the list of potential regional park sites also was supported in a letter by three members of the Alameda County Parks and Recreation Commission — Al Minard, Stephen Sanger and David Tam.
Ayn Wieskamp, a regional park board member from Livermore, said many members of the public have told her they are concerned about protecting Tesla's natural and cultural resources. "We want to make sure we're treating everyone in a fair and level way," Wieskamp said.
Several hikers and mountain bicyclists said they were pleased the master plan envisions more places and opportunities for their activities.
In one policy shift, the new master plan opens the door for establishing narrow trails that mountain bicyclists could use.
Michael Mejia, president of the Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay, applauded the park district for its patience over the decades in dealing with mountain bikers.
"In 28 years, we have cleaned up pretty good," Mejia told the board. "Now we are grandparents. We all have come a long way."

Warm and Nutty Breakfast Couscous Is Not Wimpy
I blame my mom. Growing up eating her hearty Italian pasta dinners has made nearly all other grains seem insubstantial. Rice is good, but you have to eat more of it to get full. Wheatberries are filling, but they take too long to cook. Couscous is, well, wimpy. That's right, couscous is wimpy. How can anyone get full on a dinner of delicate, fluffy couscous? I can't. That's why I have relegated it to breakfast.
For breakfast, couscous works. It's a welcome change from oatmeal and is just as versatile. It can be made with water or milk and tastes great with add-ins like nuts, dried fruits, or fresh berries. Of course, a drizzle of melted butter, maple syrup, or honey only makes it better.
This Warm and Nutty Breakfast Couscous is packed with belly-filling good carbs and lean protein. It's crunchy, chewy, sweet, and filling. It's definitely not wimpy.
(This is another version with pecans, dried cherries, Medjool dates, cinnamon, and maple syrup. I told you it's versatile.)
Warm and Nutty Breakfast Couscous
Serves 2
Print recipe only here.
1 cup water
1/2 cup dry couscous
1/2 cup chopped mixed unsalted nuts, equal parts almond, pecans, pistachios, and walnuts
2 tablespoons unsalted pepitas* or sunflower seeds
2-3 pinches of cinnamon
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1. In a small pan, bring water to a boil. Add couscous. Remove from heat for 5 minutes and fluff with a fork. Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Drizzle each serving with a little extra maple syrup, if desired.
Shopping Note: Pepitas are flat, green Mexican pumpkin seeds found at Mexican markets, health food stores, and some major supermarkets. Unsalted pumpkin or sunflower seeds make good substitutes.

I'm totally with you on this one. If it's not pasta, I typically want nothing to do with it. I'd rather just go carb-less. Or have a sweet potato. Or five.
This couscous looks delicious for breakfast though! A definite step up from oatmeal.

Cash really loves oatmeal and grits, which was my goal; I didn't want him to be one or the other like me and his dad (grits!) I might have to try this on him and see what he thinks. I love how healthy it would be for him (and nuts are okay in our house!)

A San Diego artist said he discovered eight images from World War I in an antique camera he purchased for $100.
Anton Orlov said he purchased the 1901 Bellini Jumelle camera and discovered while cleaning the piece that developed images inside the camera appeared to show scenes from World War I, including pictures of war-torn France and a group of uniformed men holding an object that appears to be a bomb, KSWB-TV, San Diego, reported Thursday.
"It was incredible to me that developed images were in the camera," Orlov said.
He said the glass plates must have been inside the camera for nearly 100 years.
Orlov said he will show the images when he takes his Photo Palace Bus to Portland, Ore.
The bus contains a mobile dark room and studio for his photography.
"You should honor history," Orlov said. "Honor the vision of artists and just be careful with your old stuff."

Collins leaves Shakers shook-up
Kevin Blackwell's first home game as Bury manager ended in a 1-0 home defeat to Swindon as James Collins claimed the only goal of the game at Gigg Lane.
The striker's first league goal for Swindon came within the opening minute, giving Paolo Di Canio's side a lead they never relinquished.
It was a goal worthy of winning any game, Collins beating Bury goalkeeper Trevor Carson with a stunning 20-yard lob.
Bury rallied and were denied an equaliser by a superb challenge from Jay McEveley just as David Healy got ready to pull the trigger.
Despite applying a decent amount of pressure, Bury struggled to find a way through, Peter Sweeney lashing a long-range effort over the bar.
But Swindon, for the most part, controlled the second half and Collins wasted a chance for his second by blasting over from inside the box, while Carson produced a tremendous save to push away a stinging volley from Adam Rooney.

Meet & Eat: Lauren Rothman, Serious Eats Intern
Editor's note: Say hello to Lauren! She just started as an intern here at SEHQ, and is already doing a very swell job. Let's get to know her better, shall we? —The Mgmt.
Name: Lauren Rothman
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Occupation: Freelance catering chef
Website/Twitter: in-good-taste.blogspot.com / @Lochina186
Guilty pleasures? Super dark chocolate; tacos of every stripe; duck fat for roasting vegetables.
Describe your perfect meal. Spicy and "ethnic" is where it's at for me. Maybe mapo dofu eaten at a hole-in-the-wall in Chengdu? It's something to aspire to, at least.
What food won't you eat? It pains me to say this, but raw oysters. I last tried them in 2011 and they're still a no-go for me.
Favorite food person? Lidia Bastianich. She's the Italian grandmother I never had.
When did you first realize you were a serious eater? At about the age of five, when my mom failed to wake me up in time to breakfast on a batch of her from-scratch pancakes. I cried for half an hour.
What do your family and friends think of your food obsessions? They totally get it. I've surrounded myself with a well-curated group of fellow obsessives.
Favorite food sites or blogs? Orangette, Smitten Kitchen and the Wednesday Chef remain the holy trifecta for me. All three authors create food that I like to cook and eat, and the act of sharing those meals with family and friends seem as important to them as it is to me.
Everyone has a go-to person they call for restaurant recommendations. Who's yours? My older brother. A lawyer with a somewhat more flexible budget than my own, he can always be counted on for solid dining leads.
What is your favorite meal of the day and where do you get it? Definitely dinner. I get it in my own kitchen, or more rarely in far-flung, cheap restaurants situated in neighborhoods like Sunset Park and Flushing.
Do you ever cook? What's the best dish you make? I cook every day. I'm good at "kitchen sink" recipes that use a lot of ingredients, yet still manage to come together as a unified whole. Check one out here!

Clam Dip
22 comments:
I feel about canned artichokes the way you feel about canned clams. Sometimes, they are just necessary. So intrigued by this dip!ReplyDelete
YUM! I love clam dip! And p.s. ~ I've tried and failed to make a linguine with clam sauce! So, once you get that recipe, please share!!!ReplyDelete
I agree with you! This is one instance where the canned stuff just works. Looks delicious.ReplyDelete
I'd never look down on someone for using a convenience product in a homemade dish! Sometimes canned or frozen foods are exactly what a recipe needs.ReplyDelete
Canned clams are really convenient and nothing is wrong with that. :-) I use both fresh and canned for cooking and I like them both. Your mom's clam linguini sounds so good. I have some dish that my mom cooks and I try to make, but they are not the same somehow. I love going back to Japan mainly to eat my mom's food. This dip sounds wonderful - I need lots of good bread for this dish. YUM!ReplyDelete
I should get me a can of clams soon. this recipe sounds too good to pass!ReplyDelete
Wow seafood lover dip much? Looks awesome :DReplyDelete
Choc Chip Uru
I am not against canned food at all. The clam dip looks fantastic.ReplyDelete
Please pass me a huge piece of that crusty bread, this dip looks amazing (canned clams or not). :DReplyDelete
i'm not judging you for using the canned stuff. there are just some canned foods that work better than fresh...ReplyDelete
I agree with you on canned clams. Preserved ingredients are always good I think and especially so in this dip!ReplyDelete
I love all kinds of dip but this one sounds extra delicicous! :DReplyDelete
omg...I can't believe you posted clam dip! I've been meaning to post our family's recipe for clam dip ever since I started my blog 3 years ago...sigh. Yours is much different than ours (my grandmother's, really) as ours is cold and served with potato chips (MUST be with salty chips, nothing else will do)! I really can't wait to give your hot version a try - and with white wine and brie I know I'll love it!ReplyDelete
All I need with this dip is some nice hot crusty bread!ReplyDelete
I'm so intrigued by this dip as I don't think that I've tried anything like it before! :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 5, 2012 at 2:49 AM
I will definitely make you linguini with clam sauce when you visit. Last time I made it was when you came to visit last year. I seem to only make it when you come home. Miss you.ReplyDelete
Give me this dip and some crusty bread on a summer afternoon and I'd be one happy girl!ReplyDelete
This dip sounds interesting ,but looks creamy and delicious!ReplyDelete
How interesting!Never tried a clam dip before, but what a great idea to use it in this manner!Awesome Jenn!!ReplyDelete
You just put clams in a dip! I think I love you! You're my hero! I must have some of this dip!ReplyDelete
nothing wrong with canned when the results look this tasty!! yummy!ReplyDelete
This is such a nice addition thanks!!!
