Emmy This
The Middle's production design sets it apart from other sitcoms
Brandon Nowalk
Emmy This!
Emmy ThisEmmy nominations are announced July 18. This year, we thought we'd highlight some of our favorite elements in categories that don't get lots of attention in your typical TV reviews, in hopes of spurring the Academy to consider our favorites below the line
It's easy to take The Middle for granted. It's basically a traditional family sitcom, albeit the decade's standout. The characters and performances play into certain types. The subversion, or at least complication, isn't immediately clear, which is part of the point for this family trying to fit in. But does any sitcom set on television feel as lived in as the Heck house? Under the supervision of production designer Randy Ser and set decorator Julie Kaye Fanton, there's clutter everywhere, and the props are in constant use. As dad Mike says suspiciously after the kids claim someone threw a rock through their window, "Only in this house would broken glass all over the floor be considered neat."
That's part of The Middle's take on class. Most television families are well off enough to have purely decorative stuff and nice, clean houses. The Dunphys on Modern Family have enough disposable income that their bookshelves are stuffed with things they've never touched. Suburgatory's Chatswin is purposely punctuated with bulky baubles like Dallas' mall-kiosk crystals and even that pueblo pot George displays prominently and knows nothing about. Sometimes even the poor live in gigantic apartments with delicately coordinated faux-Boho shit. (Here's to 2 Broke Girls!) Money is so tight on The Middle, though, that there's a whole episode about Frankie, the mom, wanting to buy a decorative plate. It doesn't go well.
The Hecks don't just use the couches and beds to give their snappy dialogue some dimension. The Hecks actually use all that stuff everywhere—the huge boxes of snacks, the magnets covering the fridge, the clothes strewn all over the floor. The house is full of business. They're always duct-taping the washing machine shut so it can run a new load or rearranging their copious stacks of bills or chipping away at the dirty dishes on the counter. They really take conspicuous consumption to a whole new level. They whip out flip-phones and take walks around the block listening to CD players. They hunt and peck on a boxy yellowish computer that could use a cleaning. It's the perfect set for a house of harried day-to-day strivers in Nowhere, Indiana.
What distinguishes The Middle from the other big working-class shows like Raising Hope and Shameless is its cleanliness. The Middle isn't dirty. The design is scattered but not gross, stained but not sticky, and purposely so. Life is messy, but it doesn't have to be unclean. The Middle bears the weight of Shameless' financial strife and the constant settling of Raising Hope without indulging those other shows' cynicism (the happy-go-lucky poverty acceptance of the one, the melodramatic misfortune of the other). Frankie Heck tirelessly wants the life she was always told she'd have: a weekday job; a husband; a few kids; a house in the 'burbs; plus some time to embrace popular rituals she doesn't much consider, like the royal wedding and Thanksgiving with Marines. She's barely holding that life up, but that's not to say she won't ever achieve her dream. The Middle finds real-life gravity without going for grit. Give or take a fact of life for aging teenagers (for instance, Snapchat after dark), The Middle is wholesome, or tries to be, and the set decoration follows suit.
That wholesomeness helps The Middle achieve a sort of Americana. Consider the shot of two teenagers bending over a trashcan to kiss at the Valentine's Day dance or the graduating seniors climbing the local water tower and looking out past the farmland to their quiet town. Those season-high vignettes are made by the set design: the budget Valentine's dance with a pink-balloon border and the primary-colored water tower with the all-American logo. It's Recession Rockwell.
The best part, though, is that The Middle bursts with color. So many sitcoms leave the color to the costumes and trick out their backdrop apartments with a vibrant array of tasteful browns (New Girl, Happy Endings, How I Met Your Mother). Don't Trust The B—— had a nice, monstrous green streak, and Ben And Kate gave its sunny yellows the hard sell, but The Middle goes in for the whole rainbow. The house has a yellow kitchen, a green living room, and blue or purple bedrooms. An Etch-A-Sketch sits on a lime placemat next to a crumpled Twister-inspired apron in front of Joseph's Technicolor afghan. The neighbors' front yard is littered with every color of Playskool plastic. It's like the show is designed by a classic Crayola eight-pack that's missing the black. The effect is enriching. The splotchy blocking contributes to the feeling that The Middle is full of life and activity and dreams, and the bright, bold colors complement the show's can-do attitude. It's as expressive as it is functional. It may not look like it, but there's a method to The Middle.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. RASHID L. CARTER; CHANDA E. WILSON, Defendants-Appellants.
BEFORE: NORRIS, McKEAGUE, and WHITE, Circuit Judges.
This is a heroin conspiracy case that included multiple defendants. Defendant Rashid Carter appeals the district court's denial of his pre-trial motion to suppress evidence. Defendant Chanda Wilson appeals her 37-month within Guideline sentence. We affirm the judgment in Carter's case. We vacate Wilson's sentence and remand for resentencing under amended U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2.
On January 9, 2015, the district court held a suppression hearing. (R. 392, PageID# 2572.) The following factual background comes from testimony given at that hearing.
Laughlin initiated a traffic stop. (Id., PageID# 2600, 2632.) Mr. Carter was driving the car, and a woman named Jasmine Sanders was in the passenger seat. Griffith approached the passenger side of the car and told the occupants that they had been seen speeding in a fifty mile per hour zone. (Id., PageID # 2600-01.) Mr. Carter responded that he thought he was going fifty-five miles per hour. Griffith testified that Ms. Sanders' hands were shaking, she was breathing heavily, and she appeared more nervous than someone would in a routine traffic stop. (Id., PageID# 2601-02.) Griffith also reported that she "smelled the immediate odor of raw marijuana coming from within the vehicle." (Id.) After smelling the marijuana, Griffith asked Mr. Carter and Ms. Sanders to get out of the car.
The traffic stop and search were recorded on an OSHP cruiser camera.
On February 5, 2015, Ms. Wilson pleaded guilty to all three counts with which she was charged. (R. 301, PageID# 1750.) She did not enter into a plea agreement.
On appeal, Mr. Carter challenges the district court's order denying his motion to suppress. For her part, Ms. Wilson appeals her sentence. Specifically she challenges (1) the district court's finding that she was not a minor participant; (2) the drug quantity calculation; and (3) the reasonableness of her sentence.
When considering the denial of a motion to suppress evidence, we review the district court's findings of fact for clear error and its conclusions of law de novo. United States v. Gross, 550 F.3d 578, 582 (6th Cir. 2008). A factual finding is clearly erroneous when the reviewing court is left with a definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed. United States v. Smith, 594 F.3d 530, 535 (6th Cir. 2010). "In reviewing the district court's findings of fact, we consider evidence in the light most favorable to the government." United States v. Hill, 195 F.3d 258, 264 (6th Cir. 1999).
We review a district court's sentencing guideline calculation de novo, United States v. Wendlandt, 714 F.3d 388, 393 (6th Cir. 2013), and the reasonableness of a sentence for abuse of discretion, Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007).
The district court concluded that "[b]ased on Laughlin's observation of the laser device's reading and both officers' observations of the speed at which they paced [Mr.] Carter's vehicle, probable cause existed for Griffith and Laughlin to stop [Mr.] Carter." (R. 181, PageID# 718.) The district court also relied on Mr. Carter's admission to speeding. (Id., PageID# 720.) Mr. Carter challenges each of these findings, arguing that the district court improperly found probable cause existed to conduct the traffic stop based on the fact he was speeding. We disagree and affirm the district court.
All of the issues presented by Mr. Carter "are issues of fact, which will be overruled only if the district court's findings were clearly erroneous." United States v. Ivy, 165 F.3d 397, 401 (6th Cir. 1998) (citing United States v. Rose, 889 F.2d 1490, 1494 (6th Cir. 1989)). "[S]o long as the officer has probable cause to believe that a traffic violation has occurred or was occurring, the resulting stop is not unlawful." United States v. Freeman, 209 F.3d 464, 466 (6th Cir. 2000) (quoting United States v. Ferguson, 8 F.3d 385, 391 (6th Cir. 1993)). Driving over the speed limit is a traffic violation and provides an officer with probable cause to stop a vehicle. See United States v. Wellman, 185 F.3d 651, 655–56 (6th Cir. 1999).
First, Mr. Carter challenges the reliability of the laser because Griffith did not remember the exact date that the laser had been calibrated before the traffic stop. But, as the district court noted, Ohio courts have recognized the reliability of readings taken from the LTI 20-20. See, e.g., State v. Starks, 964 N.E.2d 1058, 1060 (Ohio Ct. App. 2011) ("This court has previously recognized that a trial court may take judicial notice of the scientific reliability of the LTI 20-20 laser device."); City of Columbus v. Dawson, No. 99AP-589, 2000 WL 271766, at *2 (Ohio Ct. App. Mar. 14, 2000) (observing that the LTI 20-20 has been recognized as scientifically reliable in other Ohio appellate courts, but declining to take judicial notice of those decisions because "the fact that a court has taken judicial notice in one jurisdiction cannot serve as the basis for taking judicial notice in another jurisdiction"); State v. Dawson, No. CA98-04-021, 1998 WL 883802, at *3 (Ohio Ct. App. Dec. 21, 1998) ("[W]e find that the trial court did not err by taking judicial notice as to the accuracy and dependability of the LTI 20-20 laser device ․"). The district court also relied on Laughlin's testimony to find that the laser was used and working properly. Thus, we do not have a definite and firm conviction that a mistake was committed when the district court relied on the laser.
Next, Mr. Carter challenges the district court's reliance on the testimony of Griffith and Laughlin to determine that they paced the car and observed it speeding. Mr. Carter argues that the camera footage reveals that the officers never paced the car and definitely did not pace the car for one quarter of a mile. But, the camera footage is not as clear as Mr. Carter alleges. It was raining on the day of the traffic stop and it is uncertain, based on the video, how long the officers could actually see the car. Mr. Carter argues that the officers never paced, or traveled at the same speed, as his car. But the footage reveals what appears to be at least some pacing. The district court did not commit clear error in determining that the officers paced Mr. Carter's car.
Mr. Carter lastly contends that he did not admit to speeding because he only said that he "thought" he was speeding. But the traffic camera video reveals that Griffith asked Mr. Carter if he knew he was speeding, and he responded, "Yeah ․ I thought, I was going 55." Based on the camera footage, the district court did not clearly err in finding that Mr. Carter admitted to speeding.
Mr. Carter challenges the district court's finding that probable cause existed to search the vehicle based on the smell of marijuana. Mr. Carter does not challenge any conclusions of law, but instead questions the district court's finding that the officers actually smelled marijuana. Mr. Carter notes that Griffith smelled raw marijuana, tobacco smoke, and air fresheners, while Laughlin only smelled raw marijuana. Mr. Carter contends that this inconsistency leads to the conclusion that the raw marijuana smell was fabricated. Mr. Carter further asserts that because the officers never affirmatively mention the marijuana smell on the traffic camera video, that they fabricated the smell.
The district court, however, disagreed with Mr. Carter and found the officers' testimony credible. (R. 181 PageID# 721-22.) "The district court's credibility finding carries considerable weight." Ivy, 165 F.3d at 401-02. "Findings of fact anchored in credibility assessment are generally not subject to reversal upon appellate review." United States v. Taylor, 956 F.2d 572, 576 (6th Cir. 1992). Indeed, ' "[w]here there are two permissible views of the evidence, the fact finder's choice between them cannot be clearly erroneous." ' Id. (quoting United States v. Rose, 889 F.2d 1490, 1494 (6th Cir. 1989) (emphasis in original)).
When viewed in the light most favorable to the government, this testimony demonstrates the district court did not err in finding the existence of probable cause for the stop and the subsequent search.
Ms. Wilson argues that the court erred by failing to apply U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2 to her sentence, an application that would have reduced her base offense level by at least two levels due to her role as a minor participant in the conspiracy. She asserts that her role in the conspiracy was substantially less than others because she made no profit for her participation, had no prior involvement in drugs, and only tried to help her cousin, Mr. Carter, by making phone calls, which she now acknowledges was a poor decision.
In the context of mitigating role adjustments, "a district court's factual findings are reviewed for clear error while its legal conclusions are reviewed de novo." United States v. Roberts, 223 F.3d 377, 380 (6th Cir. 2000). The defendant "bears the burden of proving a mitigating role in the offense by a preponderance of the evidence." Id. at 379.
A district court may apply U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2 to reduce a defendant's base offense level if the defendant's role in the offense was "substantially less" than other perpetrators. § 3B1.2 cmt. N.3(A). "In determining whether to award the defendant a reduction for a mitigating role in the offense, the district court must consider the portion of the relevant conduct of the conspiracy that was attributable to the defendant for purposes of determining his base offense level." United States v. Nunnally, 5 F. App'x 438, 440 (6th Cir. 2001).
U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2 cmt. n.3(C) (2015).
Amendment 794 took effect on November 1, 2015, after defendant was sentenced and after the principal briefs were filed in this appeal. Counsel for defendant called it to our attention in a supplementary authority letter filed July 24, 2016.
We must first determine whether Amendment 794 applies retroactively. "[C]larifications of the guidelines have retroactive application while substantive changes do not." United States v. Monus, 356 F.3d 714, 718 (6th Cir. 2004) (citing United States v. Williams, 940 F.2d 176, 182 n.4 (6th Cir. 1991)). When deciding whether an amendment is clarifying or substantive, we consider these factors: "(1) how the Sentencing Commission characterized the amendment; (2) whether the amendment changes the language of the guideline itself or changes only the commentary for the guideline; and (3) whether the amendment resolves an ambiguity in the original wording of the guideline." Id. (quoting United States v. Hartz, 296 F.3d 595, 599 (7th Cir. 2002)).
Regarding the second factor, the language of U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2 did not change; only the commentary changed. The remaining two factors are also met: the Sentencing Commision characterized Amendment 794 as providing "additional guidance to sentencing courts" and addressed a circuit conflict. U.S.S.G. App. C. Amend. 794. The Ninth Circuit has concluded that Amendment 794 is clarifying and therefore retroactive. United States v. Quintero-Layva, 823 F.3d 519, 523 (9th Cir. 2016). We agree with that decision and adopt its reasoning.
Because the district court did not have the benefit of amended U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2 at sentencing, we vacate Ms. Wilson's sentence and remand for resentencing in light of Amendment 794.
Ms. Wilson challenges the district court's decision to sentence her based on a drug quantity of between 400 and 700 grams of heroin because Mr. Carter was only caught with roughly 250 grams of heroin.
The argument is not well taken. A district court's factual finding of drug quantity is reviewed for clear error. United States v. Jeross, 521 F.3d 562, 570 (6th Cir. 2008).
The district court did not err because its drug-quantity calculation was based on a preponderance of the evidence. Where the exact amount of drugs cannot be determined, "an estimate will suffice, but ․ a preponderance of the evidence must support the estimate." Jeross, 521 F.3d at 570 (quoting United States v. Walton, 908 F.2d 1289, 1302 (6th Cir. 1990)). In making its estimate, the court must "conclude that the defendant is more likely than not actually responsible for a quantity greater than or equal to the quantity for which the defendant is being held responsible." Id. Here, the district court found that telephone calls between Ms. Wilson and Mr. Carter indicated that Mr. Carter intended to purchase the same amount of heroin as he did last time—roughly 250 grams. Indeed, in the conversations discussing those two trips, Ms. Wilson herself explicitly referenced "250." (R. 394, PageID# 2724.) From this information, the district court found that Ms. Wilson was involved in trafficking between 400 and 700 grams of heroin. Accordingly, the district court did not err in calculating the drug quantity.
For the reasons stated above, we affirm the judgment of the district court with respect to Mr. Carter. We vacate Ms. Wilson's sentence and remand for the district court to resentence her with the benefit of amended U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2.
1. Pacing occurs when law enforcement follows and maintains a constant distance from a target vehicle in order to determine its speed.
2. Mr. Carter also argues that Ms. Sanders did not consent to the pat-down performed by Griffith. But, the video reveals that Ms. Sanders did in fact consent. Moreover, Griffith had the right to pat down Ms. Sanders under Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968), after smelling the marijuana. Most importantly, however, this pat-down has nothing to do with the search of the car because Laughlin testified to searching the car because of the marijuana smell not because of the baggie of marijuana Griffith recovered.


Planetary Systems Corporation (PSC) developed the Canisterized Satellite Dispenser (CSD) to provide a more secure and predictable deployment system for CubeSats of different sizes. The CSD is designed to provide predictable and consistent payload deployment performance. Though the CSD has proven its safety and reliability, there is still not enough data required to predict accurately CSD linear and angular deployment rates. In this research, various analytical models were developed, and their predictions were compared with respect to experimental deployments. Any errors were analyzed to tune the models to better understand the deployment dynamics and the variables that affect performance.

Q: Ramanujan Divisor Function Help me prove
$$
    \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\sigma_a(n)\sigma_b(n)}{n^s} = \frac{\zeta(s) \zeta(s-a) \zeta(s-b) \zeta(s-a-b)}{\zeta(2s-a-b)} $$

A: Suggest you look at page 59 of "Ramanujan" by G.H.Hardy, 3rd edition published by Chelsea Publishing Company 1978.

A: The functions involved are "multiplicative". Therefore it is enough to prove the "local result":the same sum running over the non-negative powers of the same prime on the left anf the product of local factors of Riemann's zeta function on the right. To deal with the resulting power series on the left, use the formula for the geometric series.

hi MRP. have you had a good Easter, I assume you got away?
lol thought you'd never say that, mrP!
I can hear applause world wide !!
(((mrp))) hope you have had a lovely break.
andree!! how are you hun??
hi rose! have had a busy and wonderful break! slept right through good friday! so it certainly was a good friday!
mrp, what was the mountain which came to mohammed?
chic, what name do you go by on FB?
lol, mrp, did the same here!
enjoy weekend with dad mrp?
just to let you all know, before questions are asked, no, i haven't had to take any painkillers so far today, and my tummy likes me again!
ok chic, will do but maybe tomorrow or so -- busyness coming up again!
* sigh * long time coming!
fine, jill. I don't spend as much time on the 'puter as I used to but I check things 2-3 times a day.
even been out in the garden today. we have had the most beautiful autumn day here!
weekend with dad is alway enjoyable! how did your easter go andree?
do you get an Easter Monday holiday in the States?
what day do the stores close in BC jilli?
is that bad news from Lickety?
In Ontario they close Fri, here they close Sun..
we finally got rid of our guests.... but we have 5 kids here at the moment.
we spent yesterday arvo at a terrific playground. the kids went ballistic, and the adults sat around and ate and chatted. btw, deacon is up and walking * giggle * he looks like a sailor who is yet to find his land legs.
but grocery stores and pharmacies and such will be open, maybe a few others.
AND he knows he granny, which is such a pleasure.
co6 is c + make me an *****. The 8 extends that.
ty lickety - stalled with 30 to go!
I don't get it either, pav, lol!
ok, clues are done! time for me to go and relax for a little bit with a friend!
dartie do you fly direct to NF?
bye for now, mrp, and thanks for getting that whip out!
oh you get a flight from newark to nf?
surpised you don't to Toronto NF..?
they don't let you ride free?
well I shall bid you all adieu...gettin' a little late here uhhh west?
it was on a wednesday, westy. did you miss it?
good for you, sh*tty for us!
jilli could you give it a nudge to the east?
she must be early 60's west don't you watch brothers and sisters?
patty duke was bvorn in 1946, so that makes her 53 this year.
no is she on that?
thanks jilli :) Nice to see you!
I'll say good morning/evening all as well.
Hello Haz!!! Been a looong time!
Hello all! Yes, jillibus, it has been a while, you're right.
Oh west -- I still had your little hedgehog -- must refresh!
I've been well, thanks. You've been enjoying Terra?
immensely, yes. He is like a little sun to us all.
did he enjoy his camping trip?
bye dart, did you finish?
I think puppies are a bit like children. You look forward to them doing new things but at times you'd like them to stay just as they are for a little while longer.
he loved camping, loved canoeing. He is a little adventurer, our Terra.
fitting right in, eh sprite?
He'll be learning map-reading next, sprite, and leading the expeditions.
absolutely! He is in love with life and that is such an inspiration. Not to mention he is as cuddly as they come.
aw that is great! Scrabs will love that, yes.
I take it you don't care for the game sprite?
I like baseball, but I don't like masses.
jilli I thought they moved to Washington DC what team am I thinking of?
it's all about the almighty dollar now isn't it?
it's weird, in a way. Like you can take it with you.
is rounders the great grandfather of our baseball?
My uncle took me and my two cousins. He said we were going to see the Yankees play and I said "You mean they really call them that? It was a bit of an insult in England!" He thought that was hilarious. He came from North Carolina originally.
Well, fish, I was at school when we played rounders too, and was only 13 in 1940.
yes, west, rounders is the base of baseball, I think!
did you get an answer, jilli? Am wondering now too.
The Yankees then were not like the overpaid Yankees now. Them were the days.......!
Sprite, my uncle laughed and said yes, they really call them that and it's ok, or words to that effect, BUT he was a Southerner and Yankees were not favourites there (Civil War, y'know).
the south will rise again!!
yeah, I see. Thanks jilli!. Sport can be a great peace maker though.
Sorry, Uncle Charlie -- the War Between the States.
I tried that too, sprite, lol!
ah, that was it, west!
He was one of the authors I studied at school.
Sleep is important too. Dream lovely dreams and have a good rest, dear jilli!
wow west -- some story! Wasn't there a movie like that once?
The set text was La Peste, but we were expected to read his other books as well. It was enjoyable.
we read La Peste too, but I don't remember too well. Perhaps... I might see if my french is still up to that.
you still with us, west, or gone to watch the news more fully?
I am surprised redu4 is not valid. How can it not be a word? A recurrin chore if I ever saw one.
perhaps that is the reason. Can't do something again if you can never stop doing it.
is he afraid of the vacuum?
not at all at the breeder's. A little here the first time, I guess because it was a different sound. But after I petted the vacuumer, he gave it a sniff-over and didn't care anymore.
Spangle isn't in love with the vacuum cleaner, but she does move to another room when it appears. She's less wary now that I've replaced the Dyson which sounded like a jet engine about to take off.
Fine Sprite. Nothing much new here...cept for the 'moron' that put a temporary street bollard thru the back window of my car last night. Fool!
darn lyn! And no card left of course so you can claim the damage?
lyn what is that ?
That's just being destructive for the sake of it - such a shame you're the one has to bear the consequences.
Breaks down - do you use the French word in Dutch?
oh... of course! Yes we do, and I should have known it is no english.
Time to do other things - back later!
for a long time, French has been the 2nd language in the Netherlands, and not English.
yup got it now. Lots of drinks in today's grid.
So Terra is all settled Sprite, sleeps thru the nite in his box? Do you have stairs and if so can he manage?
he does, lyn. We do have stairs but he is not allowed to climb them. His hips are still growing and settling, the vet said to wait until he is at least one year old before letting him walk stairs or do high jumps.
he sleeps till 6 am, 6.30 am. Then he must pee and after that is happy to sleep some more. Not bad for a 10 weeks old pupster, is it?
yes mrP. Used to have dogs when I was a kid, but not with me as the adult.
uploading. Yes I enjoy raising Terra. He is great.
hi katie! going well thanks! and you?
all ok, Katie, how about you?
I can so I will! Love it!
lovely, Katie! Where are you off to?
Hi Katie. You can play again!
we will be off to an easter lunch with friends soon too.
how nice, Katie. Tell them hi from us?
lynxx, did you have family time over easter?
oh man! time to put the pressure on??
We went to mari & mr mari on Friday and Grandma's yesterday so not too busy.
How are the chooks MRP? do they free range?
our scraps have become completely useful!
I have had to put rules down about meats and eggs being fed to them.
Wow, big block. Any news on the purchase or haven't you gone there yet?
chooks are the greatest weeders in the universe!
they love the chook house cause we have it covered with laying boxes and hay. We have to muck it out every couple of weeks, and spray down for lice, but that is a little price to pay for happy chickens.
the dog is fine! she realises they are part of the extended family we have!
we have put a magpie on the roof of the coop... a dead one... and no other maggies or kurrawongs or crows have come around since.
I am off, new Terra pics are on Flickr. Have a good day all.
if you don't name them, you shame them, and they will vicerate you!
goannas are only found in australia... they are huge! and their claws are the length of your middle finger.
lynxx. that is what luke called his chicken!!
the chickens are gorgeous! as Andree will testify!
they are vegetarian chooks... and they are well fed and looked after!
Lickety gave them leftover pizza, with ham... I was super unimpressed!
he gave the chooks left over pizza!!!!!!
yes! it was ham and cheese!
ham is full of salt, which is just not good for any animal!
I give them lots of greens, especially lettuce... and they get grated carrot, corn, cucumber and grated cheese.
I also dig up worms and centerpedes for them!
They hear me coming and go crazy!
oh lynxx! we did the same!
katie! they are so lovely!! They are supplying our eggs, so we want them to have the right feed.... cause what they lay, we eat!
same here andree.... we had chicken nights!
one of the roosters attacked my brother... he was roast the very same day!
Did ou grow up in Sydney Andree?
it is incredible that the factories now breed featherless chickens!
night katie!! lovely chatting darlingheart!
I must go too babes.
I have been awake for way too long!
love you all and goodbye for now!
I hope to catch up with you all soon!
I have no work, so will be on more often!
Andree... call me for a 'play date'!
good morning, babble friends! Need a hint for the lonely e, for NBT...please?
many, many thanks andree! NBT for me! And hello Lynxxx!
it was Lent, bichon.....no babbling for me!
don't have that one yet, sorry andree. BTW, your profile photo is GAWGEOUS!!!! You are really one lovely lady!
ooh, just found one of my favorite veggies!
Going nowhere with this ..BBL perhaps.
what does "stuffs up" mean? get it wrong?
is it going out of fashion, andree?
dead handy for dead language! and yes, I agree andree - greek is great too. and still spoken, which is a bonus!
were i live its common to learn Indonesian, French, German and Japanese. I know of a few private schools / higher end public schools that teach the Chinese Languages and Latin.
Good morning Babblers. I took 4 years of Latin in high school and I can't tell you what a help it is when I'm watching Jeopardy! It helps figure out french, spanish, and italian clues.
oh, wow, andree! they don't have much in common, so well done him!
I learned Indonesian in grade 6, German in grade 7, Japanese in year 8.
and well done you, herin - nothing like a new layout to brighten a day!
good point, chiley. Ithink those spelling bee geniuses study all sorts of different languages, for that very reason.
ANdree he is very luck to learn mandarin and latin.
which language did you take the most easily too, herin?
No idea what i liked Trifs. Japanese was very cool.
what do you mean, innards? isn't it bricks?
oh, i see. we find lots of fire implements at yard sales and flea markets and such. do you have those in your neck of the woods?
wish they weren't so heavy, I would happily send some to you, but the postage would cost more than the irons would!
what a good feeling! congrats, herin!
We need to sort out the study and library.
one of the re4's makes me giggle. It's what they basically tell the boys here on puberty night at the schools - buy some deoderant, you re4.
tude is So a word..so is "meh"
OH we have this girl/s that spray on perfume deodorant crap in class and i nearly throw up or choke.
oh, gads, here they come - kitten infested bed!
oh, yes, I remember you saying you did that. Does your troop go all summer, or is it a school year only thing?
guide camp, really? that sounds great! do you learn all sorts of new stuff to do with the troops during the year?
time for bus stop shuffle number 2...be back later, all!
Huge thunderstorm rolling in. I better get moving and get myself ready for the day since it appears we may lose electricity. Bye all.
have ur poison, what is the other u?
I never heard of a cara cara orange..
jean, how are you? any success with the job search?
"Citrus sinensis 'Cara Cara' was discovered in 1976 as a mutation of a Washington navel orange in Valencia, Venezuela."
where do they come from kj?
just found this: Cara Cara oranges are navels with a reddish pink flesh. Flavors of these fruits resemble a rich orange taste with overtones of raspberries and strawberries.
OK, that is our fruit lesson for the day... who is cvering vegetable?
back, where is feather today?
anyone here know a good orthopedist in the DC/MD area?
but at this point, i just might consider it!
Annie, I well remember my mom trying to smell the HUGE arrangement of roses in the lobby of the Plaza many years ago LOL!
"Bacon-infused bourbon old fashioned with maple syrup"
alas, ive got to go to someone elses meeting since shes not here, so ive gotta run.
Hi TO! Can you believe it?
well evaN, was the bacon in the drink raw or cooked?
a coworker of mine just sent me a link to another bacon-related product, but im not sure its chog-safe, as there may be children present!
Do you have to work today, Owl?
I play tennis from 10:30-12:30, then work from 1-7:30.
LOL TO... How was your visit with Dad?
was f ine ty, how was your day?
welki... Bergen County... Maywood... And, yes... I LOVE that line.
Mom, my sister lives in Montvale!
And I mu4 plan a NJ visit!
A friend of mine lives in Hamburg now.
OMG that place is hysterical... they take our kindergartener's there... nothing says field trip like falling into an old mine.. LOL!
BRB, need to get something for breakfast.
And coming home with a few rocks... but the kids actually love it.
Frankly, I am fascinated by the people that work there... they really love their jobs (I mean it).
And no matter how many times you say it some foolish mother will wear heels to chaperone the trip!!!
I think there is still a castle, but don't quote me on it.
kje, i don't have the am 7 but is there a list today?
Oh, we have lots of wildlife here..
No... but we have wolves... swear to God!
And my backyard is full of all manner of things!!!
I have been trying to get the town council to "relocate" them... they are clearly out of their element and I am afraid that they will be injured.
A couple of towns away there was a bear a couple of years ago... in Paramus, no less.
There was a black bear sighted here a few years ago. Lots of coyotes, foxes.
At the Paramus Mall, Mom?
The problem is that they are living in Borg's Woods, which is what separates Maywood from Hackensack.... so whose problem is it, exactly?? The county should really be involved.
TO... went on Friday. Great flowers.
I got 20 tulips for ten bucks and they are gorgeous... close at night and reopen in the AM.
TY, BR, for ca8. I still don't have am7.
they don't keep long for me. my sil was complaiing yesterday that her secret outlets in that mall are now all picked over by the hordes.
Ah, yes. TY, I have seen that word in Babble before.
TO... I was going to get takeout I was like.. no way.
Well, kids, I mu4 get ready for the day. I get to slam tennis balls for 2 hrs before work. Yippee. Enjoy the day everyone.
OMG... all I asked my husband to accomplish this weekend while I was working was to get a thing of caulk, as I am getting little teeny tiny ants in my kitchen and I saw a breach under the cabinet... did he do it??? No.
i hate ants in the home. i can nevver remember if htey come with lots of rain or when it's very dry.
BTW mom i read your place of employ was voted best happy hour. I must check this out for myself.
I think they came in with a box of cat food to be honest.
Yes but only one counts.
OK.. must go to work... see ya all later!
remedial please? still working on my first cup of coffee!
Don't have it yet BR.

Hello everyone. Sun is shining at last.

Hi TO. Tend to lurkalot.

If it's any consolation, there are many sub-groups of b-words.
but of course that is only if you have a b in your grid.
now Ds I have plenty!
went pro the moment pro was invented. And still no addict. Not in denial either.
and the dutch word for 'quotation' as in promising to sell certain things for certain prices is in the grid, but not valid. Hrrrrr.
I quit babble after every grid..
I have actually missed quite a few grids lately, too busy with Terra.
crossy: close. do you have the unit of measure?

Oh, crap. I'm blind. Never mind about tarmac.
It is but it's not doable ..
i haven't spotted kje lately - where's she these days?
how does molasses become witchy?
nuts not in the grid ..
Bichon, it is an er***** of the past, very close to erase.
Flose, the clue I got it from was am + Actress Hayworth (but misspelled).
am7/32 am + Educating *i** (film with Michael Caine) change the i to a double vowel.
Thanks, Bichon...I was missing all those similar ones. Oy.

hello all. avoiding working too hard on the resume... why does an application for school require a resume? what do i put "excellent babble skills?" "attentive parent?"
Bye, Mr. P. Hiya, Stid!
oh, it is raining SO hard again. the weather is such a tease, the sun was shining at 6:30 this morning!
Gotta spin those skills, Stid. Something like: Fluent in English and adept at organizing and delegating tasks to diverse groups.
If you need a reference, I'd be happy to tell them that you swing a helluva fish!
how fishy is the E in the upper left corner?
I don't have it yet. Don't think it's fishy.
Just monkied it. C'est French, not fish.
down to 163 here TO, will get to 100 then work on the resume for a bit, then look at the rest of the work on my plate today. Boycotting reading today, will read tomorrow morning.
ok..is anyone here who has finished the d words?

I have 4 OF's...are there more than that?
Don't have that one Phae! Sorry.
As smug as a bug in a rug ..

I have 4 OF words and 2 OK...what am I missing?
Ok...I need clues for those last 2 OC words please?
oh, oh, did I say a word?
Just got 1 of them.
you don't remember the origian of fish? YOU of all people?

LOL, I remember the haddock, but the pollock passed me by!
Clue for the last OC please?

Ka5/20 & ka5/33: Spiritual point(s) for good behaviour (in this lifetime).
Otherwise, ka4x2, and ke4x3, and ke6/42.
Clue for the KE 6?
Uh oh. Skunks aren't really day trippers, TO. Might be rabid.
good point Judi *worried mama look* I had forgotten that... we are seeing so many "night" critters out trying to find food in the daytime.
Apparently even the wildlife is affected by the economy.
We're not throwing out enough garbage for the animals! Someone call PETA!
Goodness. The State will have to have a hunt to cull the skunks. Won't get any argument from me!
RE7/32: go back and look for something you lost.
a very very large skunk. we're beeting some one will come out, cell phone to ear, and surprise it.
Maybe they can get Sarah Palin and her helicopter ..
hello all, have the 2 re8/50. one to do with looking for something lost and another with sleep. help with last re8 pls.

I have the re-see pictures-while-you-sleep .. What's the other one?
OOOOOHHHH! The past tense ...Thank you!

Good grief...I am missing 1 F from the middle bottom...any outrageously odd F words?
Does anyone know if/when we will get Lickety's List?

Thanks y'all......I've been struggling along without it....did get 161 without it though.

Yes, I have the greek cheese.
OK, the salad is making me hungry.....must search for food. Later.

Just got it! TY all!
Got to get #1 son off the bus...bbl.

she recommended a certain type of orange this morning ... so when i went shopping, i picked some up and she was soooo right!! they're cara cara oranges ... super duper!
anyone need a clue or two?

Red box, argh! Only one but I want the red menace to go away.
Hi TO! I was just thinking how sad it would be when the peeps were gone, but I see you are sending the peeps into the great beyond with pride.
Lickety's says eight fe words. 4,6,6,4,4,4,4,4.
ty uni. i found my missing f.
uh oh... still eed one, must be an fr.
hi again -- any clues for the ae words?
more than 2 ta words?
ty -- silly word! -- thought it was two!
As much as I love my pokemans? ;) Have been playing Pokemon World Online like an ultra nerd.
check your email box in about 2 minutes!
Does Gold have the first generation of pokemon? I only like the first set.
EEEEEEEEEEEK! I'm all buterflied up in the tummy. I love the internet and YOU!
The beau is also VERY pleased with your e-mail. He didn't believe you made it at first. **Exceeding nerd quota~!
No du here, sadly. I am not far enough in the grid, really.
that ra 6/21 is eluding me -- any clues?
ty lili -- another nonword?
TY! Needed that and the ER to go with it!
is any ea7 ever normal?
We think outside the grid.
there's something outside the grid?
Night Lil, Congrats! I am 77 behind.
I am excited for the Wolverine movie...May 1!
Clue for the SA 5/12 please?
when's the new Star Trek one out?
Star Trek isn't part of my geek vocab, I'm not sure.
54 left...but I use the list :) Good morning Lynxxx!!!
I enjoy Ata every day. With my wheaties.
Clue for MA 5/14 please?
Whoops, she is a Lynne with an e.
Well, when you are referencing a book that claims to be a "zero tolerance guide to punctuation" (a la Haz) you probably ought to make no errors.
I wonder if Haz reads a chapter every night before sleeping?
I think Lynne Truss *might* just be a fake name. Haz must be the author. Dry humour and punctuation all in one? There is only one option.
this is a very good point, Uni!
Clue please for the very last DE 5/14?
Only 8 left to go...C's and A's!
not playing babble for 40 days is darn impressive!

You got it, Dinok - I tend bar at a club, so the hours are a little freaky. I keep getting suckered into doing a 9pm - 4am shift, which is horrible!

any one want to give me a really good word?!
I hope they are lurking then, kje. Who are they?
(((peri))) haven't seen you in a while. you good?
which position are you in, stid?
Was wondering if I should buy more memory for my 6 year old computer. The memory is low and it is very slow. It works well otherwise.
peri, computers have two types of memory. RAM and ROM. Also, processor speed itself can vary, and older machines won't necessarily speed up with more "memory"
wow, this is getting interesting.... who undressed me to begin with?
yes, reclining on the french riviera would suit me better, kje!
hi stid... you mean no one is showing up?
they'll be here, Aloyisius, class doesn't officially begin for another 15 minutes.
oooh. I wouldn't mind that (Vegas) either!
peri - is this a laptop or PC?
It might be most cost efficient, peri. But it's worth asking someone who knows how to check, whether memory alone would be enough to help.
I spoke with a person at Dell today re another problem I was having.
do you have it, ruru?
omg crossy you typed pointless just as house spoke it !
OMG, kje. That is SNL material!
as bad as the "you're in america, order in english geno's steaks" affair?

Pilot training for professional working with international students
Panel, Sexuality Symposium

Research shows that professionals working with international students often have limited understanding of the sexual and reproductive health issues facing international students (Babatsikos & Lamaro 2012; Poljski, Quiazon & Tran 2014). Both perceived and real cultural and language barriers can prevent professionals from talking about sexual health to the students. The lack of resources available to assist professionals can create another challenge, as they are unaware of culturally safe strategies that can be employed to talk about the topic to the students. Many professionals have indicated the need for a training program on sexuality and health issues so they can provide better support and service to the students.
This workshop will be run as a pilot training program for professionals working with international students. The themes will involve sexual and reproductive health topics and its relevance to international students' well-being. Following the workshop, effective and appropriate techniques and ways of engagement with the cohort of professionals based at universities will be identified.
This workshop will further inform longer training provided to professionals working with international students. This longer training will be conducted as a part of the project on sexual and reproductive health of international students currently run by the Australian GLBTIQ Multicultural Council (AGMC), International Students Sexual Health Network (ISSHN), Deakin University, RMIT University, and the University of Melbourne, and supported by the Rainbow International Student Network (RIS'N) and ISANA.

Improving student sexual wellbeing – A workshop on having conversations around sexual health
Non-Refereed Workshop, Sexuality Symposium

The majority of students are young adults and as such are at a key developmental stage in relation to personal identity and relationships. Issues related to sexual wellbeing will have a significant negative effect on the physical and emotional wellbeing of a proportion of students. If not resolved promptly and sensitively, these issues can affect both their success as learners and their participation in the broader campus life.
Specific issues which can negatively affect student wellbeing and success include:
unwanted pregnancy;
sexually transmissible infections (STIs), including HIV;
sexual assault;
forming and navigating relationships; and
exploration of sexuality and identity, including same-sex attraction.
Sexual wellbeing can be a complex topic to address in a campus context, particularly given the high proportion of people transitioning into young adulthood and independence, the diversity of life experience, cultural background and sexual orientation that exists within the student population, and the varying role-relationships which exist between staff and students.
This workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to explore strategies to engage with students around sexual health. At the end of the workshop participants will be able to:
Understand sexual health issues affecting students.
Refer students to appropriate sexual health information.
Identify personal and organisational capacity to respond to sexual health needs of students.
Apply communication processes to engage students in conversations around sexual health.
Priyadi Prihaswan has been working at the HIV/AIDS and Related Programs Unit, SESLHD as a health promotion officer for over 7 years. In his current role he is involved in a number of HIV, sexual health and viral hepatitis health promotion programs reaching diverse populations.

International student sexual health network: Advocating for the sexual health and wellbeing of international students
Non-Refereed Oral, Sexuality Symposium
Dr Georgia Babatsikos1, Ms Alison Coelho2
1Lecturer, School of Health and Social Development, Faculty of Health, Deakin University, Burwood, VIC; 2Centre For Culture, Ethnicity And Health, Richmond, Australia
The sexual health and wellbeing of international students in Australia has been identified as a high priority problem by a number of Australian researchers. Research shows that international students arrive in Australia with lower levels of reproductive and sexual health information than their domestic counterparts, and once they get here, there are a lack of preventative programs targeting students and a lack of access to reproductive health services.
The International Students Sexual Health Network was founded at the beginning of 2015 to bring together professionals around Australia to address the urgent need to conduct more research focused on the sexual health needs of international students in Australia, to develop health promotion programs and health services for international students, and to advocate at the policy level for improvements which will benefit international students in terms of equity and access to health services.
This session will discuss the history of the network, the activities of the network, and the recent evaluation of the network.

As numbers of international students across Australia continue to rise, the issues concerning their sexual and reproductive health are becoming ever more so pronounced. Sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancies are arguably among the major concerns faced by this demographic. Health problems, related to STIs and unplanned pregnancies are exacerbated by the lack of knowledge to navigate the Australian health system, late diagnoses and a range of other social and emotional challenges that many international students face. This includes difficulties in getting appropriate support, weak social networks, fear of communicating some of their health-related issues to friends and family etc. This points to the fact that sexual and reproductive health needs to be discussed holistically and include students' mental health and broader social context.
More recently, the university and community sectors as well as some private health insurance providers finally started to discuss the urgency of a united approach, which would increase international students' awareness of issues that concern their sexual and reproductive health and make the work of service providers more accountable. The work is far from being completed.
The panel will provide a space for discussion about the major challenges observed by the community health and university sectors in regards to sexual and reproductive health of international students. Presenters will talk about some already existing good practice models in the community, and identify the major concerns that will need to be addressed in the future.

The use of peer education model to tackle sexual health issues among international students in Australia
Ms Alison Coelho1, Ms Dolly Hoang1, Dr Masha Mikola1
1Centre For Culture, Ethnicity And Health, Richmond, Australia
In recent years, there has been an alarming concern regarding sexual health problems including high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), blood-borne viruses (BBVs) and unplanned pregnancies among international students in Australia. International students are at high risk of being exposed to sexual health risks due to a variety of reasons including limited prior knowledge around sexual and reproductive health and sexual negotiation, and increased risk-taking behaviour. Difficulty in accessing sexual health information and navigating through the health systems also leads to adverse sexual health outcomes.
To tackle this issue, the Multicultural Health and Support Service has developed a peer education program aiming to promote the sexual health and wellbeing of international students and empower them with skills and knowledge to seek information where and when they need it.
This paper discusses the benefits and challenges associated with the peer education model in the international student population. The outcomes of the project showed that international students have, for instance, been more comfortable when seeking information on sexual health from their peers rather than from health professionals. Peer educators have also been able to reach out to international student population that is normally out of reach to health professionals. Some challenges of the model have been linked to recruitment and the training format of student peer educators. The paper argues that the peer education model can be applied to international student setting successfully, but only if it is carefully planned, evaluated and co-designed in close collaboration with its users.

Intersex, transgender and gender diversity – a guide
Ms Moira Turnbull1
1ANU Counselling Centre, Acton, Australia
It is well documented that the mental health, wellbeing and physical health of transgender and gender diverse people is significantly worse than that of the general population. Notably, research indicates that these outcomes are not inherent to being transgender or gender diverse. They are instead related to stigma, discrimination, social exclusion, rejection by family and friends, as well as difficulty accessing appropriate supports and medical treatments.
Similarly for intersex people – who are mostly born into health bodies – many of their physical and mental health problems are caused by the effects of 'normalising' interventions. These include infant and childhood surgeries, other 'normalising' treatments, lack of transparency from health care providers and lack of counselling support.
Research also identifies that the intersex, transgender and gender diverse community is highly resilient and actively engaged in improving the wellbeing of its members.
In line with the Australian National University (ANU) values of being an inclusive, open and respectful institution that reflects the diversity of our nation, the ANU Counselling Centre developed a basic guide for ANU on intersex, transgender and gender diversity (ITGD). The guide is informed by the lived experiences of ITGD students and will be used to increase awareness and support for them across the ANU community. It recognises the resilience and determination of ITGD students and their community.
Students participated via an online survey which asked two main questions related to their needs and/or experiences at university:
What do you most want others to know about intersex, transgender and gender diversity?
What do you most want others to do/provide for intersex, transgender and gender diverse students?
Participants were also asked about services and supports they would recommend as sources of referral.
Student responses were organised in the guide around three affirmative practices⁶ of Awareness, Respect and Support.
Moira has extensive experience working in clinical and management roles in government and non-government services. Her work is supported by a social justice framework.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa — CF Industries has about 3,600 construction workers on site expanding its Sioux City fertilizer plant, and contractors plan to recruit an additional 400 hands for this fall's peak construction period.
Nick DeRoos, project director for the expansion and general manager for CF's Port Neal nitrogen complex, told the Sioux City Rotary Club construction is about 50 percent complete and is expected to continue through the winter.
DeRoos said inclement weather has slowed the project, requiring contractors to run crews overtime while they recruit additional hands. A second shift of about 600 have been at work under lights through this summer.
CF, the world's largest manufacturer of nitrogen fertilizer, broke ground in fall 2013 with a targeted completion date sometime in the first quarter of 2016. Capital investment was projected at $2 billion at the time, representing the single largest capital expenditure in Iowa history. CF expects the expansion will triple the plant's production of ammonia, the basic building block for nitrogen-based fertilizer. The company will convert most of the additional ammonia to produce 3,850 tons per day of granular urea, a dry form of nitrogen fertilizer.
The increase in construction employment, along with CF's capital expenditures, has sparked a sizeable increase in local spending in Siouxland. The project has also created a bubble in the local market for rental housing, with more temporary workers expected in the coming months.


Is raising Texas' sales tax a solution to rising property tax?
Our governor, lieutenant governor and House speaker usually like to be seen and heard opposing tax hikes. But now they're pushing a plan to add a penny to Texas' sales tax. What?
Why? How would it affect you? And what position should you take?
Their idea is to use a sales tax hike to offset property tax relief. Slowing down the steep upward trajectory of property tax is one of their two top goals for this legislative session. The other is school finance reform, which is impossible to separate from property taxes because most of your property tax pays for public education.
One of the leading proposals for controlling property tax is a 2.5 percent limit on increases, with anything larger triggering an automatic rollback election. The current limit is 8 percent and a rollback has to be earned via voter petition drive.
A 2.5 percent cap is a severe limit on local government's authority and its ability to pay its way — especially taking inflation into account. Everyone wants a break from precipitous property tax increases. But everyone also needs or wants what those tax increases provide — teachers, police officers, sewer lines, lifeguards and chlorine at public pools. And don't kid yourself that eliminating waste and fraud will solve the problem.
Why shift the burden from property tax to sales tax, even if by only a penny?
The thing about a consumption tax vs. a property tax is that you can choose to consume less, but it's not feasible to upsize or downsize your house year to year.
WHY NOT TRY THIS SALES TAX IDEA?
A sales tax is regressive, which means that the lower your income, the more it hurts you. If you're living paycheck to paycheck and buying only what you need, you'll feel an extra penny of sales tax. For example, it would add $100 to what you'd pay for a $10,000 used car. If you're rich, spend lavishly and still save and invest most of your income, you won't notice the extra penny and you'd probably prefer a tax break on your mansion.
Consider this: Texas has the nation's 13th highest sales tax, at 6.25 percent. An extra penny would tie Texas for highest with California, the state Texas likes to be most unlike.
Now, consider that to replace school district property taxes for maintenance and operations completely with sales tax, your combined state and local sales tax would end up around 14 percent.
Also consider whether you think school finance reform should tied at all to your needing a break on your property taxes. Shouldn't school finance be reformed for its own sake? Because your children's or grandchildren's or your neighbor's children's educations are important? Because Texas should be a leader in quality of education?
Finally, take a harder look at Abbott, Patrick and Bonnen. All have been in positions of influence during previous legislative sessions over how we pay for our children's schooling. Until now they've been part of the problem and this is not a solution. One problem with sales tax revenue that we failed to mention earlier is that it fluctuates depending on how the economy is doing.
If these three top state leaders want to pay for education and offset property tax simultaneously, they should depend on other sources like the Rainy Day Fund, which gets replenished with oil and gas revenue. The Rainy Day Fund actually is one of the proposals on the table and we're for using more of it.
This sales tax proposal is a political ploy. They made a promise about property taxes and they want to look like they're keeping it. Their proposal is at the expense of those who are least able to pay. And they have not shown us how it will propel Texas to the top on education. Because it won't.
Let them know you didn't fall for it.
Gov. Greg Abbott: P.O. Box 12428, Austin Texas 78711, (512) 463-2000.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick: P.O. Box 12068, Austin, Texas 78711, (512) 463-0001.

NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — A Westchester-Rockland congressman was calling for more cars that aren't solely gasoline-dependent as a means to battle rising gas prices.
Saying consumers can't keep paying what they have been at the pump, Rep. Eliot Engel was pushing a bill that would establish an open fuel standard.
This standard would require half of all cars made or sold in the U.S. by 2014 to be flex-fuel vehicles. The number would then increase to 95 percent by 2017.

And the best way to accomplish this is with a truck bed liner from Trick Trucks! After all, you have spent a lot of money on your truck; you want it to last, right?
A bed liner should be a no brainer.
Benefits of Drop-in Bed Liners: Drop-in liners are one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your truck bed. After all, you buy it and then just drop it in! However, if your drop in liner does not fit snuggly, water can find its way in and damage your truck bed without you even knowing it.
Benefits of Spray-on Bed Liners: They may cost a little more, but spray-on bed liners are built to take whatever you throw at them. And, unlike drop-in bed liners, spray-on liners adhere to your truck bed, meaning there is no room for rust!
Which type of bed liner is best? Well that depends you, your truck, and your budget.
