      <description><![CDATA[<div class="StoryBlock">
<span style="font-style: italic;">The Twilight Saga: New Moon (Summit)<br /><br />Rated PG-13 for some violence and action. <br /><br />Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Rachelle Lefevre, Billy Burke, Peter Facinelli, Nikki Reed, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Michael Sheen, Dakota Fanning, Edi Gathegi, Graham Greene, Christopher Heyerdahl, Tinsel Korey, Jamie Campbell Bower, Cameron Bright, Noot Seear, Elizabeth Reaser, Daniel Cudmore, Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon, Tyson Houseman, Bronson Pelletier, Gil Birmingham,&nbsp;Justine Wachsberger, Anna Kendrick, Christina Jastrzembska, Michael Welch, Justin Chon, Russell J. Roberts, Cam Gigandet.<br /><br />Written by Melissa Rosenberg based on the novel by Stephenie Meyer.<br /><br />Directed by Chris Weitz.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">GRADE: C+<br /><br />REVIEW</span></span><br /><br />Alright ladies, take a chill pill. Try to contain yourselves; it's only a movie...based on a book series by Stephenie Meyer. I hear you young,&nbsp;middle aged and older ladies love this whole <span style="font-style: italic;">Twilight </span>thingy, with handsome, benevolent vampires and shirtless beefcake werewolves, so they made a movie about it; two, if you're keeping count. <span style="font-style: italic;">The Twilight Saga: New Moon</span> hits the megaplexes across the nation and world this weekend with much anticipation.<br /><br />Kristen Stewart is back as Bella Swan, a somber teen girl living in Forks, Washington, smitten with the striking vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). When we left our happy couple last year, Bella had been rescued by Edward from the evil vampire Victoria and the pair had confessed their love&nbsp;for each other. Now Edward is conflicted over Bella's request to become a vampire herself, not wanting to doom her soul to a life of eternal blood lust.<br /><br />Wanting to protect her and yet keep her from hanging around his vampire family (who also want to eat her, but are having trouble restraining themselves) Edward and the rest of the Cullens leave Forks for other venues. Bella is heartbroken and slips into a depression lasting several months until she discovers that whenever her adrenaline gets pumping or she is in any kind of physical danger, a spiritual visage of Edward pops up, warning her to run, walk or step away. <br /><br />Bella devises a plan to rebuild a few motorcycles and perform some dangerous stunts to see if she can lure Edward back. She enlists her neighbor and friend Jacob (the often shirtless Taylor Lautner), a native american boy belonging to a tribe that doesn't have much love for vampires. Jacob is often recruited by a tribal faction of shirtless guys who wander the Pacific northwest looking for fun and danger themselves.<br /><br />As Jacob and Bella's motorcycle project drags on, the pair begin a little romance of their own, until Victoria and one of her followers show up&nbsp;to kill her, hoping to lure out their sworn enemies, the Cullens. <br /><br />Before Jacob can get all cuddly with Bella, he goes through some sort of physical maturation that transforms him into a werewolf, and he joins the shirtless native american guys in the forest. <br /><br />Jacob promises to protect Bella from the evil vampires until Edward is deceived into believing Bella is dead. Edward's vampire sister Alice shows up and tells Bella he will &quot;commit suicide&quot; by breaking some cardinal vampire rule and submitting himself to some sort of vampire leadership council in Italy for the obligatory death sentence.<br /><br />Bella and Alice race to Italy before Edward commits the vampire sin, and the couple is reunited. Their troubles are not over, as the vampire council (called the Volturi) wants to recruit Edward into their little clan and kill Bella until she reveals she wants to become one of them. The Volturi are impressed with Bella, especially since she is somewhat resistant to some of their powers. They also want to kill Edward for revealing vampire secrets to Bella, but she offers herself up as a sacrifice in his place (how romantic). Edward dukes it out with some of the Volturi and just as it seems he and Bella are doomed, Alice reveals she has seen the future where Bella and Edward live together as a happy vampire couple. <br /><br />The Volturi are satisfied that Bella will make a fine future vampire and allow Edward, Alice and Bella to return to Forks. When they get there, Edward is confronted by Jacob, who reminds&nbsp;him about a truce between the werewolves and vampires that prohibits the Cullens from biting any humans. The two square off to do battle, but are stopped by Bella, the girl who must decide between the two suitors.<br /><br />I won't give away the (obvious) ending, but that's pretty much the whole story.<br /><br />Okay.<br /><br />Before I reveal my true feelings about the whole <span style="font-style: italic;">Twilight</span> story/phenomenon, please understand that I am not part of the target audience, nor should I be. In short, I am not a fan.<br /><br />I will admit that anyone who is a fan of the books and previous movie will most likely not be&nbsp; disappointed with <span style="font-style: italic;">New Moon</span>. <br /><br />Something most fans want to know is whether the <span style="font-style: italic;">Twilight</span> sequel is an improved cinematic product over the first installment. The good news is, yes, it appears a larger budget has reaped benefits in the form of greater special effects (like huge werewolves) and more exotic travel budgets (like Italy).<br /><br />Improved film making aside, I have more that a few problems with <span style="font-style: italic;">New Moon</span>. One: for a story about vampires and werewolves, there seems to be a lack of any real peril in the story. Instead of danger lurking around every corner, there is only sappy teenage drama lurking around every corner. Two: the movie is about 45 minutes too long.&nbsp;It would have been a lot less boring had the producers&nbsp;cut approximately two thirds of the longing looks shared between Bella, Edward and Jacob during the dialogue and instead got to right into the action.<br /><br />It seems I spent a lot of time while watching <span style="font-style: italic;">New Moon</span> waiting for something to happen. There is way, way too much mood for my tastes. For crying out loud, it's a story about vampires and werewolves. Do these guys ever engage in werewolfy, vampirey action, or do they just talk about it?<br /><br />Don't get me wrong. I didn't completely hate <span style="font-style: italic;">New Moon</span>. There are moments I found mildly interesting, like Bella's romantic kill-me-instead-of-Edward offering and the arrival of the werewolves. The film ends on a cliffhanger as well, which I'm sure will keep the fans lined up around the block at the megaplexes for the third sequel.<br /><br />But I'm a guy, and I don't get it. I guess I'd much rather see guy movies, like the fictitious action shoot-em-up&nbsp;flick seen by Bella and Jacob&nbsp;called &quot;Face Punch.&quot; I just hope the women who read this review don't want to punch me in the face.<br /><br /><br /></div>

<span style="color: #996600; font-size: 18pt">Puzzle Felt books</span><br /><br />Created By: Lisa Berrett <br />Skill Level: (Easy)<br />Time to complete Project: 5-6 hours<br />November 2009<br /><br /><br /><br />Supplies:<br />• Felties felt sheet<br />• Little metal rings<br />• Clip it up bags<br />• Velcro<br />• Fabric markers Ribbon <br />• Tacky Tape <br />• Crop a dile<br /><br />Instructions:<br /><br />1. The first thing you want to do is find photos you want to use. I enlarged them on my copy machine to 8x10 this is a good size to create puzzles out of, You can also use your original photos <br />2. Using your Xyron machine run the photo through this way its procted from ripping and little fingerprints<br />3. I then made a puzzle but cutting the photo to look like a puzzle or fun shapes for the kids to put together<br />4. On the back of each puzzle piece I added a round dot of Velcro<br />5. Draw the pattern of your puzzle onto the Felt with a fabric marker this will make it easy for the kids to find the puzzle piece<br />6. then you can add the other part of the Velcro to the Felt so the piece will stick to the photo piece<br />7. To bind them all together I used the crop a dile punched three holes for my rings to fit through<br />8. With my tacky tape I added ribbon to the front of the book and rapped it around to the back of the book leaving the ends of the ribbon to tie on the side<br />9. For your pocket to store your puzzle pieces I used a clip it up bag added two Velcro pieces and attached it on the opposite page <br /><br />You can add sticker or what ever you want to the book this is something that will last for years, Your little ones will love putting together these puzzles and learning who everyone is<br /><br /></div>

Earaches are a common occurrence in our lives, especially with our children.&nbsp; But what causes them--Dr Frank Warren an Otolaryngologist from University Healthcare gives us Ear Aches 101.<br /><br /><br />About Earaches and Ear Infections<br />Ear infections in children under the age of 7 are common, resulting in millions of office visits each year. Also known as otitis media, ear infections are the most frequent diagnosis for children and the most common cause of hearing loss in children. <br />Most ear infections either resolve on their own (viral) or are treated by antibiotics (bacterial). <br />More than 30 million prescriptions are written each year for ear infections, accounting for 25 percent of all antibiotics prescribed in the U.S., according to the American Academy of Otolaryngology. However, antibiotics are not effective against viral ear infections (30 to 50 percent of such disorders). <br />Young children are most at risk for developing ear infections because of the anatomy of their Eustachian tubes, which are shorter, more horizontal and straighter than adults, making it easier for bacteria to get to the middle ear. A child’s tube is also floppier with a smaller opening that easily clogs. The ears get healthier as they age.<br /><br />What Causes Earaches and Ear Infections<br />Earaches occur when a cold, allergy, or upper respiratory infection, and the presence of bacteria or viruses, lead to the accumulation of fluid behind the eardrum. This is an infection called acute otitis media. <br />The build up of pressure and fluid in the middle ear causes earache, swelling, and redness.<br />Ear infections are most common during the winter months and early spring. <br /><br />Symptoms <br />Infants and Toddlers<br />Pulling at the ear, crying, fever, vomiting, ear drainage<br />Young children<br />Earache, feeling of fullness or pressure, hearing problems, nausea, ear drainage, and fever<br /><br />When to Seek Treatment<br />The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends giving Tylenol to children, if they start pulling at their ear. <br />If a child has a fever, ear drainage, or has pain for three days, they should be seen by a doctor. <br /><br />Common Treatments<br />Your doctor will determine the best course of treatment based on how long your child has had fluid in their ears and the amount of hearing loss or other problems caused by the fluid. Sometimes ear infections or fluid in the middle ear may become a chronic problem leading to hearing loss, behavior and speech problems. The insertion of an ear tube by an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat surgeon) may be considered. <br />Antibiotics. Most of the time earaches will clear up with proper medication. <br />Tube surgery. A tube is inserted in the middle ear to allow continuous drainage of fluid. Surgery is recommended if fluid has been in the ear for more than three months, a child has had more than three episodes in six months or four episodes in 12 months. Each year more than half a million tube surgeries are performed, making it the most common childhood surgery. <br /></div>

TOOELE VALLEY, UTAH (October 20, 2009) — Based on the success of last year’s inaugural event, Miller Motorsports Park is bringing back the “Drive Away Hunger” charity event benefiting the Utah Food Bank on Saturday, November 7.<br /><br />“Drive Away Hunger” allows fans who always wanted to drive their street cars on a world-class racetrack a chance to do just that, and help families in need at the same time.<br /><br />Fans who bring non-perishable food items will be allowed to drive three laps around MMP’s 4.5-mile full course behind a pace car between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Passengers will be allowed, but all passengers must wear a seat belt. Additional track time, in three-lap increments, will be available for a cash donation of $20. All proceeds will benefit the Utah Food Bank.<br /><br />“We are happy to bring the ‘Drive Away Hunger’ program back for a second year,” said John Larson, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Miller Motorsports Park. “We had such a great response to, and such good feedback from, last year’s event that it looks like we may have a tradition on our hands. With the holidays approaching, this is a great chance for everyone – no matter if they drive a Volkswagen, pickup truck, SUV or Porsche – to simultaneously satisfy their need for speed and our need to feed!”<br /><br />“We are experiencing an unprecedented number of emergency food requests and, sadly, we don’t see that trend reversing anytime soon,” said Jim Pugh, executive director of Utah Food Bank. “We feel fortunate, however, that we have such a generous community that responds to our requests for donations. Drive Away Hunger is an incredible example of a win-win method to help those most vulnerable in our community.”<br /><br />Drivers and passengers under the age of 18 will be required to have a Minor Waiver Form signed by their parent or guardian on file with the track. The Minor Waiver Forms will be available at the track, or can be downloaded from the track’s website&nbsp;on <a href="http://www.millermotorsportspark.com/documents/uploads/eventdocuments/Minor_Waiver_Form.pdf " target="_blank">Miller Motorsports Park's website.</a><br /><br />The forms MUST be printed in color; the track’s insurance carrier will not accept black-and-white forms.<br /><br />For information regarding Miller Motorsports Park, call 435-277-RACE (7223) or visit the track’s website at www.MillerMotorsportsPark.com. For more information on the Utah Food Bank, visit their website at <a href="http://www.UtahFoodBank.org" target="_blank">www.UtahFoodBank.org</a>.<br /></div>

Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F.&nbsp; 2. Make the streusel: Place the brown sugar, pecans, chocolate chips, flour, cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder, and the melted butter in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Set the streusel aside. 3. Make the cake: Lightly mist a 12-cup Bundt pan with vegetable oil spray, then dust it with flour. Shake out the excess flour and set the pan aside. 4. Place the cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, coffee or water, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until the ingredients just come together, 30 seconds. Stop the machine and scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until the batter is thick and smooth, 1½ minutes longer, scraping down the side of the bowl again if needed. Pour two thirds of the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and sprinkle half of the streusel mixture on top of the batter. Pour the remaining third of the batter on top of the streusel and, using a rubber spatula, spread the batter to reach the side of the pan. Sprinkle the remaining streusel on top. Place the pan in the oven. 5. Bake the cake until the top springs back when lightly pressed with a finger, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer the Bundt pan to a wire rack and let the cake cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Run a long, sharp knife around the edges of the cake, shake the pan gently, and invert the cake onto a serving plate so that the streusel stays on the bottom of the cake. Let the cake cool completely, 25 to 30 minutes longer. 6. Make the topping: Place the confectioners’ sugar and 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder in a small bowl and stir to combine. Sift the confectioners’ sugar mixture on top of the cake, then slice and serve. Keep It Fresh! Store this cake, in a cake saver or loosely covered with plastic wrap, at room temperature for up to five days. Freeze the cake, wrapped in aluminum foil, for up to six months. Let the cake thaw overnight on the counter before serving.<br /></p></div>

<p>Prepared by GTU viewer Margo Andersen</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold">Ingredients:</span></p><ul><li>8 slices Grandpa's Kitchen bread, dried and cubed</li><li>1 1/2 cups chicken stock made with 3 T Better Than Boullion chicken flavor</li><li>2 T sherry cooking wine</li><li>1/2 minced onion</li><li>2 cloves minced garlic</li><li>1 stalk diced celery</li><li>5 T butter</li><li>1 tsp sage</li><li>1 1/2 tsp parsley</li><li>1 tsp thyme</li><li>1 tsp black pepper</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold"> Method:</span><br /><ul><li>Bake a loaf of Grandpa's Kitchen Bread mix. Cut eight slices and cube. Lay out on a baking sheet and let dry for a day. Or, if you are short on time, you can dry the bread the day of baking. Heat oven to 300 degrees. Toast bread for 15 minutes, stirring twice. Remove from oven and let cool. Heat oven to 375. Heat water, better than boullion, and wine to a boil, remove from heat. In a large frypan, melt butter and saute vegetables until soft, about four minutes. Add spices, remove from heat. Place bread cubes into large bowl and add vegetable mixture, mix well. Pour stock mixture 1 ladlefull at a time, just until moistened (you might only use 1 cup of broth, you don't want a pool of liquid at the bottom of the bowl--it will make the bread soggy.) Place in a greased casserole dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees. Take foil off and bake for another 10-15 minutes until lightly browned.<br />&nbsp;<br /></li></ul></div>
