Higher Ground
Phil Lesh to Perform at Burlington's Waterfront Park
Higher Ground is pleased to welcome Phil Lesh & The Terrapin Family Band to Burlington's Waterfront Park as part of Lake Champlain Maritime Festival on July 26. Tickets go on sale this Friday, May 18 at 11am.
Like so many other musical endeavors that Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead has been a part of, the Terrapin Family Band grew naturally and spontaneously out of something special.
Higher Ground celebrates 20th anniversary in April
Since opening doors April 15, 1998, Higher Ground has served the Vermont and Northern New England community with 7,500+ shows featuring every genre under the sun. Continuing that tradition, Higher Ground is celebrating its 20th anniversary throughout the month of April with an incredible lineup of favorites, underplays, surprises, and reunions. A full list follows.
In everything, balance. We aspire towards it. We lie about having it. Balance is a common tie between so many aspects of our being. Work and play, sleep and wake. Eastern, Greek and modern philosophies are steeped in it. Even a silver lining needs a touch of grey. But, why are we pre-programmed to seek balance? Why can't we overload our individual tastes? Who says too much of everything isn't just enough?
I ask for a lot. Usually, when it comes to music, all I do is ask. "Can we afford a Phish festival this year?", "Can we take the kids to this show?" and most importantly "Mike, can you get me into this show?" For those of you reading this after its won the Pulitzer and was picked up by the AP, let me set the stage. Mike Moran is the owner, founder, and editor of gratefulweb.com. It's his pull that gets me into the shows. Our relationship is based solely on me asking and him obliging. But once in a great while, he does ask me to cover a show.
Joe Russo's Almost Dead | Burlington, VT
There is a slow pace and a sparse population in the Adirondack Park. We have approximately the same amount of year round residents in 2015 as we did in 1900. Having a music venue that is truly close to home is a luxury I no longer have. A fair concession for living here. Hopefully, this clarifies why I consider the Higher Ground in South Burlington, despite the 90 minutes it takes me to arrive from my doorstep, my home field.
The environment; the space you are in externally and between your ears can make music magical. It can also make music sad, stressful, angry and every other emotion you can conjure up. But that is what always brings me back to the feeling of magic. It's like a smell. There are certain smells that take you places. A faint perfume as you walk down a busy street can transport you back to summer camp and a first love.
Keller Williams | Higher Ground | South Burlington, VT | 3/16/13
As I ate the best sushi I had eaten in as long as I can remember, I had to keep looking over my shoulder, half expecting to see Keller Williams walk into the room. In terms of our physical proximity to one and other, it wasn't that big of a stretch. He was playing later that night in South Burlington. But Keller and I have a connection that runs much deeper than this superficial story.

Let Us Bow Our Heads
When I was a child, I always wondered why everyone bowed their heads when they prayed. I mean, if God was up above, why did we look down?
It took me a good bit of time to understand. We bow out of reverence and respect, just like we would for a king. We close our eyes to focus ourselves on God and remove other distractions of this world. We clasp our hands together as if we were pleading with a high king.
Which, technically, we are. Since God is King of all creation, don't we owe it to our Lord in a way to bow before God's glory? It's just another way to show God how much we respect and honor Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
I know, it sounds simple and I honestly don't know how I didn't think about it before, but we bow because God is God. It is as easy as that. Its no mombo-jumbo tradition that only certain Christians follow, as I once believed.

There are few things I love as much as waking up Friday morning and knowing the weekend is ahead. A weekend with fun, relaxing plans where Justin, the kids and I can just hang out and not rush around with our heads cut off. This is one of those weekends.
After Justin was traveling last weekend (and I attended a wedding solo), it's extra fun to have the gang back together.
Plus, with fall officially in full swing, it means a morning walk with the kids, playing outside, and most importantly…. sweatshirts!
I hope your weekend will be as snuggly as I hope ours to be. As you head into your weekend, enjoy my most fantastic finds from the web. Click the blue "Fantastic" link to go directly to the source page.
Fantastic Blend: If you're looking for new smoothie recipes, this is your spot. So many recipes to choose, so few days in the week!
Fantastic Composting Steps: Our garden this year was a MAJOR fail. In fact, the word failure doesn't do the flop justice. I'm not sure what the gal before me had planted, but I just could NOT kill it, and it in turn, didn't allow anything else to grow. I miss our composted soil from our last house! We have TWO incredible 4×16 raised garden beds at this house. Things WILL grow next year. I'm determined. I'm also recommitted to composting. (We now have a composting bin, but we started with a plastic bin.)
Fantastic Reminder: A few friends have lost grandparents lately. The thought of that makes me sick to my stomach. I still have both Grandma's and they are so dear to me. I lost one Grandpa when I was very young and another just before I graduated college. He was the kindest man I've ever known. This article comes to mind when I think of life… and death. It's beautiful.
Fantastic Lesson: We normally put gifted money in the kids savings accounts; however, as they get older I want them to learn how to both save and spend their money. My dad made my brother and I take "Personal Finance and Management" in high school as an elective. If we wanted to drive, we had to enroll. So I was #1 on the roster. I still remember the class. While I was certainly raised under the "save, save, save" mentality, my parents also weren't scared to enjoy their hard work within reasonable limits. It was a great lesson in financial balance. This might be a great way to pass this along to the kids.
Fantastic Nautical: Navy. I just dig navy. Stripes. Boat shoes. Water. Bauble statement pieces. This is my kind of outfit.
Fantastic Flat: I've been lusting over these Tanya flats in Fennel for awhile now. What do you think? Pull the trigger?
Fantastic Visual: I've talked to so many people recently who have felt the benefits of cutting gluten, and in many cases, all grains from their diet. For some people, it's a temporary cut until their bodies heal from any inflammation, and for others it's a permanent elimination. Whether it's full blown celiac, an intolerance or just discomfort after eating gluten, this graphic gives great information about a gluten-free lifestyle. Check out the full link for the complete graphic.
Fantastic Fast Burn: Justin was out of town last week. When he's gone I'm not able to get into the gym so I crawl into our basement and do some quick workouts before the kids are up or while they are down for naps. (Once they are down for bed when he's gone, this girl is firmly on the couch!) I did this workout last week and it's a great quick workout that will work up a sweat. Just make sure you pick the correct weight that makes the workout difficult.
Fantastic Reminder: It's so true. Whatever your goal, you have the power.
Fantastic Elmo: I've been borderline obsessed with Elmo since Finn fell in love when he was 1. Elmo has firmly lived in my heart ever since. This video reminds me why. Elmo and Lupita talk about all the great things about their skin. Is this woman not a goddess? So beautiful.
Did you learn anything from Elmo? I just love that weird, red monster!

Vitaly Yurchenko
Vitaly Sergeyevich Yurchenko
Russian: Виталий Сергеевич Юрченко
|2 May 1936
Soviet Union
|Soviet Union
|Order of the Red Star
Vitaly Sergeyevich Yurchenko (Russian: Виталий Сергеевич Юрченко; born May 2, 1936) is a former high-ranking KGB officer in the Soviet Union. After 25 years of service in the KGB, he defected to the United States during an assignment in Rome.[1] After providing the names of two U.S. intelligence officers who were KGB agents, Yurchenko slipped from the Americans and returned to the Soviets. Although it is unclear whether his initial defection was legitimate, Yurchenko was awarded the Order of the Red Star from the Soviet government for the successful "infiltration operation."[1]
Upon his defection to the United States, Yurchenko identified two American intelligence officers as KGB agents: Ronald Pelton and Edward Lee Howard. Pelton was later convicted, while Howard fled to the Soviet Union before he could be questioned.
In November 1985, before eating a meal at Au Pied de Cochon, a French restaurant in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C., Yurchenko told his CIA guard, "I'm going for a walk. If I don't come back, it's not your fault."[2] Yurchenko did not return.[3]
The building, located at 1335 Wisconsin Avenue NW, now houses an "&Pizza" franchise. A plaque commemorating the event was once displayed in one of Au Pied de Cochon's booths.
Return to Russia[edit]
Several days later, the Soviet Embassy called a press conference, at which Yurchenko announced he had been kidnapped and drugged by the Americans, it is possible that his defection was staged to fool the CIA with wrong leads, to protect Aldrich Ames, an American who worked for the CIA and was then one of the USSR's most important moles within the CIA. The KGB was reported to have secretly interrogated Yurchenko after his return, under the influence of a truth drug, to ensure he had not been recruited by the CIA as a double agent.[1]
This section of a biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. (May 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
At a 1999 Texas A&M conference attended by several CIA intelligence professionals, as well as KGB General Oleg Danilovich Kalugin, the question of Yurchenko's defection came up. Kalugin stated that Yurchenko started out as a real defector, then changed his mind and redefected. Kalugin gave several points:
- The KGB typically didn't use 'fake defectors' because the defection would be a propaganda problem for the Soviet government. ("People were not supposed to run from the paradise")
- Yurchenko was in love with a woman married to a Russian official, and thought that in the US they could be together. This did not work out as planned.
- Yurchenko had a stomach ulcer that worried him greatly, and thought it could be cured in the US. It wasn't.
- Yurchenko's defection was leaked to the media after he'd been promised it wouldn't be.
- Yurchenko "felt his freedom to move around was sort of limited by the CIA".
- Yurchenko apparently thought the KGB might treat him well because of the cases of recent redefectors like Betov and Chebatriov.
Another panelist also believed he was a legitimate defector. James Olson of the George Bush School of Government and Public Service said "I think he was a very disturbed individual and he redefected out of psychological problems that he had." Paul Redmond said that Sandra Grimes and Jeanne Vertefeuille (of the Aldrich Ames case) also believed Yurchenko was genuine. Redmond on the other hand thought it possible that Yurchenko might have been sent by the KGB as a "starburst".[4][failed verification]

FDA Approved Drugs » 2015
The following drug information is obtained from various newswires, published
medical journal articles, and medical conference presentations.
Wellstat Therapeutics
Approval Status:
Approved December 2015
Specific Treatments:
fluorouracil or capecitabine overdose
Therapeutic Areas
Vistogard (uridine triacetate) is a pyrimidine analog.
Vistogard is specifically indicated for the emergency treatment of adult and pediatric patients:
Vistogard is supplied as oral granules for oral administration. Mix each Vistogard dose with 3 to 4 ounces of soft foods such as applesauce, pudding or yogurt and ingest within 30 minutes. Do not chew the granules. Drink at least 4 ounces of water. The recommended dose for adults is 10 grams (1 packet) orally every 6 hours for 20 doses, without regard to meals. The recommended dose for pediatrics is 6.2 grams/m2 of body surface area (not to exceed 10 grams per dose) orally every 6 hours for 20 doses, without regard to meals. Please see drug label for specific doses based on body surface area.
FDA Approval
The FDA approval of Vistogard was based on data from a development program in 135 patients designed to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of a single course of 10 grams given orally every six hours for a total of 20 doses. Patients in the studies had either received an overdose of 5-FU or capecitabine, or presented with severe or life-threatening toxicities within 96 hours following the end of 5-FU or capecitabine administration. The overall survival of patients with 5-FU toxicity receiving Vistogard was 96 percent, compared with 16 percent in historical cases employing standard supportive care measures. Vistogard also helped patients resume chemotherapy sooner, with 33 percent resuming their cancer treatment within 30 days.
Adverse effects associated with the use of Vistogard may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Vistogard (uridine triacetate) is a pyrimidine analog. Following oral administration, uridine triacetate is deacetylated by nonspecific esterases present throughout the body, yielding uridine in the circulation. Uridine competitively inhibits cell damage and cell death caused by fluorouracil.

Back in May 2008, I wrote a piece called "Longmont, Take The Deal" where I said it was just about checkmate on this idiotic crusade against Firestone and Weld County over the Union annexation. It came as no shock or surprise to hear the news that Longmont got its rear end handed to them from the courts over this. (Times-Call "City's annexations 'null and void' Judge: Longmont 'abused its discretion'")
Much of that Times-Call article sounds familiar – as it was exactly what I warned about over a year ago. Let's go back, shall we?
"Longmont isn't and hasn't been dealing from a position of strength. It really doesn't hold any cards and stand to lose much. The cute game of de-annexing and re-annexing, including certain roads with the goal of cutting off access to the landowners' property, was a dirty trick and will cost the city at the county, state, and court levels if you allow this charade to continue." – This was the main point of the Times-Call article, the city got caught trying to play cute games, and it lost.
"We've all been entertained by the antics for the last few months by some of your "surrogate agitators and aggressors", but the time for stalling and playing games is over. This deal is probably the absolute best you're going to get; to pass on it would be foolish." – The deal was Firestone's offer to let Longmont buy some of LifeBridge/4C's land for their supposed "buffer". This whole buffer was always a sham, a stalling technique. Longmont passed on the deal, and may very well end up with nothing at all. Great strategy!
I reminded some on council of this supposed majority they thought they spoke for: "Six of the current seven councilmembers were involved in the recent elections of November and January. When you consider what "majority" you think you're representing, keep in mind only three of you actually won with a majority (Lange, McCoy, and Santos), one of you lost by a majority (Benker in the Mayors race) and the other two got in with less than a majority (Hansen and Levison)."
The following opinion hasn't changed: "Personally, I think the landowners are giving away too much in this deal. They've been the target of slanderous and libelous attacks by some mouthpieces of certain councilmembers. We all know some of you ran on, and had the backing of the anti-annexation movement. It's become clearly evident that they were never just "anti-annexation" or looking out for what was "in it" for Longmont." – I suspect we'll be hearing less from these mouthpieces; was "distraught" the term the paper used? Can't remember as it was quickly buried. But like cockroaches, there's always more waiting in the wings to make up for lost or fallen cockroaches.
I also mentioned a "massive lawsuit that Longmont can not afford, and will ultimately lose." It was refreshing to see someone speak bluntly when Dale Bruns said "If they had any brains, they'd put an end to this before they have more rulings that would substantiate damages that we would claim. And if that happens, they better get out their checkbooks, because we're coming after them."
It's becoming apparent brains are in short supply as anyone could see this coming, well, except for the crazy-eyed anti-LifeBridge, tunnel-visioned types and the fools on council who listen to them. It's not as if city council wasn't warned, they were, they just kept on those blinders and now might even appeal this ruling and keep throwing good money down the drain on this losing battle.
Longmont City Council, you're out of moves – and out of money, our money. You and the staff you've directed have wasted enough time and money on this foolish adventure and now you end up with squat. No land (the buffer you wanted), no revenues (from property tax and permit fees), and no goodwill deserved from your new next door neighbor, Firestone.
Well, you do have one more move: retreat. And while you're at it how about apologies to Firestone, LifeBridge, and the taxpaying citizens of Longmont. Fat chance, I know, that would take class. Something the majority on this council has shown very little of.

bowdoin college, brunswick, maine
As part of a campus plan to accommodate an increasing freshman population two new dormitories were built and the college's six existing dormitories, "The Bricks", were completely renewed, to provide a total of 403 beds. The two new buildings, the Coffin Street dormitories, define a new residential neighborhood at the southern edge of campus. They provide 80 beds each, and continue the social structure of the college's existing six dormitories: two room doubles grouped around generous hallway common space in a walk up building. The simple massing is in keeping with the existing neo-Georgian residence halls on campus, while the articulation of the brick facades uses large windows and common stairs to create a contemporary expression.

Barangaroo is Sydney's biggest urban regeneration project since the 2000 Olympics and one of the most significant waterfront transformations currently underway anywhere in the world. The site is divided into three distinct development areas – The Headland Park, Barangaroo Central and Barangaroo South.
Lend Lease is developing Barangaroo South and has entered into an exclusive agreement with Crown Resorts to develop a landmark hotel resort on the site, which will be branded Crown Sydney.
The NSW Planning Assessment Commission granted conditional approval for Crown Sydney following a comprehensive review of the development application.
During the planning process Crown Resorts consulted with local neighbours and businesses as well as the City of Sydney and industry stakeholders and looks forward to continuing this process during the construction period.
Barangaroo is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a vibrant new precinct to live, work and visit.
Barangaroo reconnects the CBD to the harbour and opens it up to the public. More than 50 per cent of the entire site will be public space with a new park and 100 per cent access to the public waterfront.

Guinea Pig Wire Pen – 8 Panels (Medium)
Floor time is important for the overall health of guinea pigs since these pet rodents require physical exercise and mental stimulation, too. Indeed, the smaller their cage, the more important their floor time in a wire pen becomes for their health and happiness!
Give your beloved pets the floor time their minds and bodies require within our wire pen when you buy it today. You are also assured of safety and security for your pet rodents - safety because they are not underfoot while you go about your daily business and security because they are away from possible predators especially with the secure bolts. Think of it: playtime for them, peace of mind for you!
The wire pen is made from durable steel frames with rounded edges, thus, making it a safe place for playing for as many as 4 guinea pigs (i.e., lesser risk for injuries caused by sharp edges and weak metal). You can also adjust the shape, either rectangle or octagon, depending on the available space and the number of pets in it. You can easily and quickly assemble and disassemble the wire pen with little need for tools, too, for storage, transport and set-up purposes.
Because of its wire design, the pen also provides for good ventilation for your pets. Just be sure to keep your guinea pigs away from places where extreme temperatures can occur as these animals are susceptible to cold and heat.
Key tip:Place covered sleeping boxes or flower pots as "caves" for their sleeping and resting areas inside the wire pen.

Yale Climate Opinion Maps for Strategists
Frequently Asked Questions
What do these maps depict?
The maps depict estimates of the percentage of American adults (age 25 and over) who hold particular beliefs, attitudes, and policy preferences about global warming. The estimates were generated from a statistical model that incorporates actual survey responses from a large dataset of >22,000 individuals since 2008. The actual survey responses were combined with demographic data from the Census to estimate opinions based on information such as gender, race and ethnicity, and educational attainment; they also take into account changes in public opinion over time.
Where do the survey data underlying the estimates come from?
The data underlying the maps come from a large national survey dataset ( >22,000 respondents) collected between 2008 through 2018 as part of the Climate Change in the American Mind project led by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication and the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication. Reports from the individual surveys are available here: CCAM Reports.
How accurate are the estimates?
No model is perfect and there are uncertainties in the model estimates. To validate the model, we conducted independent surveys in four states (CA, TX, OH, CO) and two metropolitan areas (Columbus, OH and San Francisco, CA) and compared the survey results to our model estimates. On average, the model estimates differed from the survey results by 2.9 percentage points among the four states and 3.6 percentage points among the two metropolitan areas, within the survey margins of error. A series of technical simulations estimate that the model has an average margin of error of ±7 percentage points at the state and congressional district levels, ±8 percentage points at the metro and county levels. Such error ranges include the error inherent in the original national surveys themselves, which is typically ±3 percentage points. The model uncertainties are smaller at broad geographic scales (e.g., the state level), and are larger at finer geographic scales (e.g., at the county and city levels). The model estimates also tend to be conservative, so geographic areas with extremely high or low measures are not estimated as well as areas with values closer to the national average for each survey question.
What does the gray color mean on some of the bars beneath the maps?
The gray area reflects people who refused to answer the question or said "don't know". We do not provide specific values for the gray areas because we did not model this group specifically.
Do the maps account for differences in population density across the country?
No, the maps depict the estimated proportion of people within each geographic area who would answer each question as indicated. We have not adjusted the maps based on population density differences. It is important to keep in mind that some geographic areas may be large, but have few residents (e.g., Wyoming), while other geographic areas may be small, but have many residents (e.g., New Jersey). For reference, Wikipedia has a population density map here. The type of map used in this tool is called a choropleth map, which means the colors on the maps reflect the percentage of the population in a given geographic unit. These kinds of maps are used to represent everything from election results (e.g.,the red state / blue state maps common during presidential elections) to census and economic data (e.g., per capita income or unemployment rates).
Do these maps reflect changes in opinions due to recent extreme weather events like Superstorm Sandy?
Perhaps. The maps may reflect the impacts that specific extreme weather events had on public opinion in a given geographic unit. If public opinion in a particular area has been influenced by local events it is possible that the model would detect such an influence. However, data from specific events or types of events are not explicitly built into the model as predictor variables.
Can I use the data?
Yes. We encourage you to explore the maps and use the results in your own work. The data are available on our Data Download tab at the top of this page so that you can do your own analyses and create your own visualizations. If you publish an academic paper using these data please acknowledge the source by using the following citation:
Howe, P., Mildenberger, M., Marlon, J., & Leiserowitz, A. (2015) "Geographic variation in opinions on climate change at state and local scales in the USA," Nature Climate Change. DOI: 10.1038/nclimate2583.
If you publish a news article, visualization or blog post using these data, please include a link back to the Yale Climate Opinion Maps website.
How do these new YCOM v3 (2018) maps compare with the original YCOM v1 (2014) and YCOM v2 (2016) maps?
Public concern about global warming has generally increased since 2014. However, improvements to our 2016 and 2018 model, including new data that increase our ability to resolve differences between jurisdictions, may have contributed to shifts in our 2016 and 2018 model estimates as compared with those of 2014. As a result, we recommend caution interpreting any changes over time because we can't easily disaggregate what is a true shift between 2014 and either 2016 or 2018 and what reflects the model's improved ability to map climate beliefs at the local scale. 2016 and 2018, on the other hand, come from the same model but have different input data from the census and election behavior. So while those years are comparable to some extent, note it is difficult to disentangle the change in demographics and the change in opinions.
We're working on a new model that directly models time and will capture the change quantitatively, which is more reliable than simply subtracting two years. Join our mailing list to be alerted about new results showing changes in opinions over time for each state.

A gift that keeps giving – a state park pass
One gift really does keep on giving all year long across the Palmetto State, and it comes with a 20 percent discount through Dec. 31.
The S.C. Park Service and Piggly Wiggly have partnered to sell Park Passports, the annual passes that cover admission to 47 state parks and historic sites.
It's as easy as buying a voucher at a Piggly Wiggly store and redeeming it for a pass at any state park, activating that pass for one year of use from that date.
For instance, the standard Park Passport costs $75, but with this deal through Piggly Wiggly, the charge drops to $60. The cost for a Park Passport Plus, which comes with some free benefits such as nature programs that otherwise incur small fees, and a copy of the "Beautiful Places" state-park coffee table book, decreased to $79.20 from $99.
Marion Edmonds, communications director for the S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism in Columbia, said this teaming up of the park service and the New Hampshire-based grocery chain, whose S.C. division operates from Charleston, resulted from building on projects "on and off over the years."
Question | How did this endeavor emerge?
Answer | The Park Passport has been such a successful program for us and it's popular with the citizens, and officials at Piggly Wiggly said, "We could help sell those for you, as part of a Christmas promotion." ... It applies to all the passports we have. ...
It made a good joint project for us, and the discount is nothing to sneeze at. That's how I'm getting my gift Park Passports this year.
Q. | How do the three Park Passports differ?
A. | The hangtag for the car has always been the prototype. We started out with just a Park Passport, then added more options for people who want a little more or less.
The Park Passport Plus: It makes a nice gift, and it comes with a coffee table book. With the standard Park Passport, anybody who uses the parks with any regularity gets a great return on that.
The Inland Parl Passport: That's for folks who really don't get down to the coast, but use more of their local parks really often.
Q. | How do the Grand Strand's own Myrtle Beach and Huntington Beach state parks hold up as hubs for visitors year round?
A. | At Myrtle Beach, the numbers are staggering. I remember from years ago when Myrtle Beach State Park was a ways from downtown. You'd go south and finally get to Springmaid Beach, then you had the Air Force base, then a little beyond that was Myrtle Beach State Park. To get to Huntington Beach, you had to leave Myrtle Beach and go through empty countryside for what seemed like forever. ... That's what has turned out to be such an unintended blessing, when they saved two pieces of property.
Now Myrtle Beach State park is a treasure just a few minutes from downtown Myrtle Beach, and in Huntington Beach, you really do have the opportunity to decompress from what is becoming an increasingly developed area. Those two parks ... are continuing in high demand.
Q. | How heavy in visitation do the other two oceanfront parks, on the southeast corner of the state, near Beaufort and south of Charleston, remain?
A. | Hunting Island is one of our most visited parks. ... Edisto Beach, which is kind of a hidden treasure, it has much the feel of your local family beach, the one you've gone to every year over the years. It's being discovered.
Q. | Which park leads the state in numbers through the gates? If Myrtle Beach is first, where is the runner-up?
A. | Sometimes Hunting Island is No. 1 in visitation. They are close to each other in numbers.
Q. | Just how quickly does a pass pay for itself for families?
A. | In my family, we had three kids growing up. You think about five people, if you have a family with two or three children. It doesn't take but a few trips before you recover that cost, and it encourages people to come to our parks.
Q. | And the clock doesn't start ticking on Park Passports' year of use until a voucher purchased at a Piggly Wiggly is redeemed for the pass at a park gate?
A. | The nice thing about them is they're good for a year ... so if you give a pass to somebody now, and they don't go to the park in January or February, because of the weather or if they're not here ... when they go and redeem it, they get a full year from then, when they begin to use it.

Magical Healing Balm
Our house-made Magical Healing Balm stimulates the body's own healing and captures the restorative powers of the sun and moon to miraculously heal almost anything.
Hand harvested Calendula, Hypericum and Comfrey harvested at their peak infused in olive oil in a beeswax base with pure lavender essential oil to add to the healing
Originally formulated as a heal-all when I had a young child, it went from diaper rash balm to skinned knees and later used on skin blemishes and later still as a natural make-up remover. My husband, a welder at the time healed all manner of burns, all with this one healing balm.
I personally have used it as my main moisturizer for 20 years, including lavish use on my face, but also on hands rough with gardening, itchy bug bites, even the strangely painful prick of roses is immediately calmed.
Use liberally as needed

SWEET DREAMS: Sleepy Balotelli has a rest on the pitch (PA)
AC MILAN striker Mario Balotelli has reportedly missed a meeting discussing race with the Italy Minister for Integration because he overslept.
According to media reports in Italy, the former Manchester City forward was scheduled to meet with the country's first black minister Cecile Kyenge to discuss how to combat racism in the country.
But Kyenge told Gazzetta Dello Sport that Balotelli failed to show up, yet insisted that she still wants to meet him to talk about how he can play a pivotal role in tackling racism.
Balotelli helped Italy qualify for the World Cup in Brazil by scoring twice in last night's victory over the Czech Republic.

A recent survey released by security software firm Symantec found 66 per cent of Millennial employees, those born after 1980, admit to using Web 2.0 technologies, such as Facebook and YouTube, while at work. The same poll found younger workers also regularly store corporate data on personal devices, such as PCs and USB drives.
Meanwhile, 75 per cent of corporate IT managers surveyed by Symantec said they have policies that restrict corporate data and information on personal devices and 85 per cent of corporate IT managers had policies restricting download and installation of software on work PCs for personal use.
Security managers may need to rethink their risk assessment and strategy to adapt to the technology habits of today's workforce. So, exactly which technologies are commonly used by younger generations in the office? And what are the specific threats they pose to an organization?
Aaron Wilson, assistant vice president, chief technology officer and acting chief engineer in the Managed Security Services division of Science Applications International, a security and consulting firm, compiled this list of the technologies that are now pervasive - and what you should be aware of when managing your network.
Peer to Peer (P2P) File Sharing
Examples: Torrents, Kazaa
Threat: Possible malware, transmission of copyrighted/sensitive data, productivity
Prevention: Intelligent content proxy, UTM (unified threat management), host-based protection
Possible scenario: An employee with an improperly configured P2P application could inadvertently share their entire hard drive, exposing all of the data to millions of other P2P users.
Social Networking
Example: MySpace, YouTube, FaceBook, blogs
Threat: information exposure, possible malware, productivity
Prevent: user training, intelligent content proxy, website rating tech, host-based protection
Possible scenario: Users posting pictures of to their blogs from the workplace. Consider pictures of secured areas which could pose a threat to national security (think airport). In the commercial world, pictures and details of unreleased products can fuel competitors and damage sales.
Instant Messaging(IM)
Example: AIM/MSN/ICQ/Yahoo/IRC, and phone texting
Impact: Depends on what's being discussed. Do you know? Username/password, data leaking, file sharing, social engineering.
Tech: Deploy your own enterprise IM/VOIP solution with crypto, logging, policies. Train employees.
Possible scenario: Support staff using unencrypted IM to send root passwords, IP information, drag/drop network diagrams, etc, all of which could be intercepted and used against the company.
Removable Media
Example: USB thumbdrive, camera/phones, iPod/pda, laptop, Wifi
Impact: information exposure, difficult to track
Tech: Digital Rights Management (DRM) and to a lesser extent Data Leak Prevention (DLP)
Possible scenario: One of the best known examples would be the USB drives found at a bazaar in Afghanistan containing US military secrets in 2006.

The subject of the photo project are two groups of industrial facilities. The first group are the workplaces built before 1970 that are still in use and struggling to stay in the business. The second – modern complexes built after 1990 that meet the highest requirements of the European Union.
The main idea behind the first group is to show the specific atmosphere in workplaces whose best years have already passed and now are fighting – still alive – for survival, as they provide jobs (and a chance for a normal life) for many people. These places are outdated and near extinction but make enough profit to fill certain niches in the dynamic modern market.
On the other hand, the objects in the second group are giants of modern technology – "works of art" designed by prominent architects, built over the course of several months and meeting even the most demanding industry standards. Cold, sterile, perfect. They are no longer workplaces – they are organised, complex profit machines, ready to change their sector of operation whenever there is a need to do so. Bigger, faster, cheaper, even more perfect…
Where is the human being, functioning in this machinery? Is he 'still' an employee of the company? The term "Still life" can be transformed into "still alive" – to be still living. These are the places of work of the first group, but are also "still life" – a reference to the painting here, and product photography. This dual nature of the term has become a benchmark describing more closely the idea of the project.

LEDs can be cooled by graphene-based films
(Resource: BIZ LED)
Electronics can now be efficiently cooled using graphene-based film, claim researchers from Chalmers University of Technology.
They added that the graphene film has thermal conductivity four times higher than that of copper. The researchers have further developed a graphene film that can be attached to silicon substrates.
A professor at Chalmers University of Technology and the research team leader Johan Liu wrote: "The methods currently in place, have inconvenienced the researchers making it evident that those methods cannot be used to rid electronic devices off immense amounts of heat, because they consist of only a few layers of thermal conductive atoms."
"Another problem arises, when you try to add more layers of graphene, a trouble with adhesiveness. The graphene no longer will stick to the surface, after having improved the amount of layers; since the bond is held together only by weak van der Waals bonds," he added.
He continued, "We have now solved this dilemma by managing to form strong covalent bonds between the surface and the graphene film, which is an electronic component made of silicon."
The addition of property altering molecule results in a stronger bond of the graphene. The addition of (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) molecules has the required effect, concluded the researchers at Chalmers University of Technology.
The so-called silane bonds are created between the electronic component and graphene through hydrolysis and heating. Johan Liu added that a possible application is the graphene-based film being integrated into lasers, LEDs and radio frequency apparatus for cooling function.
Read Also 10 Top Graphite-producing Countries
Graphite is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity, and also has the highest strength of any natural material. However, it wasn't until recently that the metal began to gain popularity.
Interest in graphite is increasing in large part becauselithium-ion batteries, which are used in everything from phones to modern vehicles, are becoming more and more common. Graphite is a key component of those batteries, and as their use increases, graphite production is only expected to rise.
On that note, it's interesting to look at which countries are currently producing the most graphite. Here's a look at the nations that put out the most of the metal in 2014, based onnumbers from the US Geological Survey (USGS).
1. China
Mine Production: 780,000 MT
China is the largest producer of graphite in the world, and in 2014 it put out 780,000 MT of the metal, more than 2013's 750,000 MT. While that's a significant jump, industry experts do not expect similar spikes in the future — in 2014, the Asian nation suspended production at many of its flake graphite mines due to pollution concerns, and according to Simon Moores of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, many restarts have been delayed.
"Although mines and processing plants have now been given permission to begin production again, weak market conditions saw many reduce output prior to the winter season, with the majority of miners yet to bring capacities back online," said Moores in a recent note, adding, "[a]s regional governments put further emphasis on the development of value-added industries domestically, demand from these markets will increase and supply availability to the rest of the world will fall."
2. India
Mine production: 170,000 MT
Significantly behind China, but still in the number-two spot, is India. Last year, the country produced about the same amount of graphite as it did in 2013.
Graphite India (NSE:GRAPHITE), which began operating in the 1960s, is a key player in the nation's graphite sector, though it's focused on producing graphite electrodes, not mining the metal. That said, other companies are trying to make their way into the mix. KS Mines, for example, is looking to restart a flake graphite mine in the country.
3. Brazil
Mine production: 80,000 MT
Brazil produced 80,000 MT of graphite in 2014, less than the 95,000 MT it put out in 2013. However, Brazil is South America's only producer of graphite, and that has made the country popular for investors and companies in recent years.
One graphite-focused company currently operating in Brazil is Lara Exploration (TSXV:LRA). It's focused on the Caninde project, and recently intersected 13.69 meters grading 18.38 percent graphitic carbon at the Pedra Preta target.
4. Canada
Mine production: 30,000 MT
Canada's graphite production increased by 10,000 MT from 2013 to 2014. That might sound surprising, but Business News Network recently reported that the country has been putting an increasing amount of effort into graphite production and exploration in recent years. Indeed, the news outlet states that Canada has played host to events that are like "speed dating for prospective producers and potential investors."
Though listed as number four on this list, the country is actually tied in production with both North Korea and Turkey.
5. North Korea
Mine production: 30,000 MT
Graphite production in North Korea kept relatively even from 2013 to 2014. As noted, it's tied for fourth-largest producer with Canada and Turkey. That said, while North Korea's graphite production is fairly significant, there is little data on the country's mining activities, as per The Wall Street Journal.
6. Turkey
Mine production: 30,000 MT
Turkey saw an impressive 25,000-MT jump in graphite production from 2013 to 2014, allowing it to tie with Canada and North Korea. Turkey's graphite production has been irregular over the years, and little further information is available regarding its production.
7. Russia
Mine production: 14,000 MT
Russia's graphite production has only been tracked by the USGS for the last three years, and each time it has produced the same amount of graphite. The first year it was listed was 2012, the same year it decided to increase its graphite production, as per InvestorIntel.
Prior to that time, the country had faced a shortage of graphite. The government then created incentives for private investors to explore and develop new deposits.
8. Mexico
Mine production: 8,000 MT
Mexico's graphite production increased last year, rising to 8,000 MT from 7,000 MT in 2013. That amount may rise further in the coming years — Big North Graphite (TSXV:NRT) reiterated this past April that it plans to reopen the El Tejon flake mine and mill, which closed in 2002 due to low prices. However, the company still needs to raise some money in order to do so.
9. Ukraine
Mine production: 6,000 MT
Ukraine kept even with its 2013 production rate at 6,000 MT, tying with Zimbabwe in terms of output. The Zavalye mine is the country's largest graphite producer; little other data exists on its production.
10. Zimbabwe
Mine production: 6,000 MT
As mentioned, Zimbabwe tied with Ukraine to produce 6,000 MT of graphite in 2014. That's an increase for Zimbabwe, which produced 4,000 MT in 2013. According to The People's Voice, Zimbabwe is only one of two countries in Africa to host developed natural graphite mines. The Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe states that Lynx mine is the only mine producing graphite in the country.

This week's prospects include Aleksi Heponiemi (Current Broncos), Daniil Vertiy (North Bay Battalion) & Yaroslav Alexeyev (Sherbrooke Phoenix).
Aleksi Heponiemi, Centre, Swift Current Broncos, WHL
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 145
Shoots: Left
Born: January 9, 1999 – Tampere, Finland
Draft: 2016 CHL Import Draft - Round #1 (10th overall) by the Swift Current Broncos
Undersized centreman Aleksi Heponiemi is at his best when he is making plays and and keeping possession of the puck in the offensive zone. A fantastic playmaker who is a wizard with the puck on his stick. Makes tape-to-tape passes and does a great job of hitting his target in motion. Very difficult to defend and defenders back off because they know he will end up passing the puck. Constantly moving his feet and using his good sped and acceleration to get knocked off the puck. Plays the perimeter and is real slippery along the board eluding checks using angles to protect himself and the puck. Has tremendous vision and likes to make some highlight reel plays that don't always have the best results but you admire his ability to do what he does. Is a dynamic power play performer and gaining strength will only improve his balance and confidence to skate into dangerous areas of the ice.
DID YOU KNOW? Heponiemi spent the 2015-16 season playing with the llves Jr. B Sarja league U18 team in Finland where he amassed 25 goals and 65 points in only 39 games. He also suited up for Finland in the Ivan Hlinka Tournament in August of 2016 and had four assists in five games.
Daniil Vertiy, LW, North Bay Battalion, OHL
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 206 lbs
Shoots: Left
Born: November 12, 1998 – Nizhnevartovsk, Russia
Draft: 2014 OHL Draft - Round #2 (26th overall) by the Windsor Spitfires
A highly touted prospect at the start of the season, Daniil Vertiy is in the middle of a somewhat disappointing stretch. He is a skilled player who likes the puck on his stick and generates offence. Has good speed for a big kid and has good hands receiving passes and can really handcuff goalies with a quick and deceiving release. Looks like a natural goal scorer and can be a real pain to move off the puck. Strong lower body enables him to separate himself from defenders on the rush. Defensively, he is in on the forecheck and stays close to his check and limits any offensive opportunities. His work ethic is what hurts him. To be effective, he needs to play a full 60 minutes and not get frustrated with himself.
DID YOU KNOW? Vertiy is Russian-born but moved to Toronto when he was 14 and gained Canadian Citizenship giving him the right to enter the OHL Draft rather than go through the CHL Import Draft. Currently in his third OHL season and in November 2015, he was traded to North Bay from Windsor along with a draft pick for a pair of draft picks.
Yaroslav Alexeyev, LW, Sherbrooke Phoenix, QMJHL
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 148 lbs.
Shoots: Left
Born: January 17, 1999 – Tyumen, Russia
Draft: 2016 CHL Import Draft - Round #1 (12th overall) by the Sherbrooke Phoenix
Tall and lanky, Yaroslav Alexeyev doesn't look like much when he is standing still, but once he gets moving on the ice you see how dynamic he is. Fantastic skater who can turn on a dime and is real light on his edges. He has the ability to change direction very quickly and can skate well in all four directions. Lots of energy in his game and is good at getting under the skin of opponents with his blazing speed and his aggressive, attacking play. He has dropped the gloves this season and is not afraid of playing to mix it up. Pinpoint accuracy with his wrist shot and can pick the corners. Real good puck control and is a real scoring threat whenever he gets going through traffic and plays with a determination that he will score. He needs to improve on his play away from the puck and play more of a two way game.
DID YOU KNOW? Alexeyev was a member of the Russian team at the Ivan Hlinka tournament this pst summer and had one goal and five points in five games while accumulating 29 penalty minutes.

Resurrection is Like...
"Sometimes resurrection is like making love. Sometimes it looks like good food with good friends telling stories on themselves. Sometimes it looks like a therapists office and a box of tissues and learning to tell the truth. Sometimes it looks like church and sometimes it looks like the wilderness. Sometimes it looks like a mountain and sometimes it looks like the ocean, sometimes it looks like a small creek in your back yard, the one the kids float leaves down and pretend are boats…. Sometimes resurrection looks nothing like what you expect and sometimes it's everything you ever wanted. Resurrection always surprises us: who could expect this?" - Sarah Bessey
Join us on Tuesday, April 19th at 7:30pm upstairs at Forest & Main for our next God on Tap. Our topic: "Resurrection is Like…." It's inspired by the recent observance of Easter—the day Christians celebrate Jesus rising from the dead, and by a blog post written by the amazing Sarah Bessey (full text below).
A wise person recently noted that sometimes we get caught up in thinking about resurrection as The Resurrection that happened to Jesus 2,000 years ago. Or as something that will happen in the future when God finally gets everything right. But resurrection is something that happens here and now. Its something we every single one of us experience in some way—coming back from a loss, a set back, failure, some manner of death, and finding life on the other side.
Rob Bell has great way of talking about this when we experience failure in life:
"You failed,
and yet that failure made you a better person.
You failed,
but it worked in your favor.
You failed,
but it made you stronger, more resilient, more appreciative.
You failed,
but it created all sorts of new life and growth and maturity in you.
You failed,
but you're now realizing that failure isn't all it's cracked up to be.
This is the beautiful, counterintuitive, strange, unexpected, reliable mystery built into the fabric of creation that is at work every time we fail."
Resurrection is at the heart of that "counterintuitive…reliable mystery" at the heart of life.
We all fail. We all experience loss. We all have encountered death in some way. And yet, it does not damn nor define us. Life and love persist. That's resurrection.
So, join us on Tuesday and let's remind each other that resurrection as a present reality, not just some past event, not just something in the future. But now.
Come and share: Where do you see resurrection at work in the world? In your life? Where do you long for resurrection to show up and take root?
Here's the full text of Sarah Bessey's post:
"Sometimes resurrection feels like spring cleaning. First we have to admit to the dirt and the mess, stomp around asking if the people who live here think they live in a barn. We have to scrub and scour, our hands grow tired but we're setting things to order and to beauty and the whole time we're working, the windows are wide open and the curtains are lifting with the breeze and everything in the house feels like it's waking up.
Sometimes resurrection feels like walking slowly with a toddler. You have to stop and examine each new flower or leaf or blade of grass, every gum wrapped and cigarette butt has to be swept away from little fingers. It feels disorienting to be noticing everything, to be moving so slowly, it seems like it would be easier to sweep that toddler up and just stride quickly to where you want to go but this is how we learn and this is how we teach. It's slow going indeed but as we walk we find ourselves walking right into who and where we were meant to be all along, our lungs are strong and our feet are on the ground and a child keeps saying, "look!" and you are beginning to finally see.
Sometimes resurrection feels like springtime when everything is a disastrous mess of mud and muck and left over salt on the edges of the roads. It's brown and dead and ugly, even winter would be better than this resolute barrenness. And then one day there is one little snow flower that pokes up from the brown ground and you catch sight of it and point it out to the neighbours and to your children and you grin like a fool all day because look, a little flower is up!
Sometimes resurrection feels like growing up. You think it's taking forever but then you're out on your own in your grown-up life and you realise how short your childhood was really in the scheme of things and now you've got all of this life ahead of you as the person who were always headed towards becoming.
Sometimes resurrection is like making love. Sometimes it looks like good food with good friends telling stories on themselves. Sometimes it looks like a therapists office and a box of tissues and learning to tell the truth. Sometimes it looks like church and sometimes it looks like the wilderness. Sometimes it looks like a mountain and sometimes it looks like the ocean, sometimes it looks like a small creek in your back yard, the one the kids float leaves down and pretend are boats but then you next find resurrection in the prison handing out diplomas and in the hospital rocking babies and in the hospice singing "It is Well With My Soul" under your breath. Sometimes resurrection looks nothing like what you expect and sometimes it's everything you ever wanted. Resurrection always surprises us: who could expect this?
Sometimes resurrection feels like the spring equinox. You've been waking up in the darkness and feeling the sun as a weak attempt, a cousin of light instead of actual light, and the tinies come home from school in the sunset even though it's only 3 o'clock and you move through your nights in the darkness and rise again in the dark. And then one day you realise you're making supper and it's still light out. And then you realise you woke up in the morning and there was sun coming through the blinds, imprinting against the green wall in slats of light. And then you think it's light and it's getting on toward being light more than dark and we're turning, hallelujah.
Sometimes resurrection feels like singing out loud with your own voice even though you never used to sing.
Sometimes resurrection looks like standing outside of the tomb of the one whom you love, weeping without consolation only to find yourself in his presence. It looks like not recognizing him and it looks like being told to go tell the story. Sometimes resurrection speaks your name and you see clearly finally. It looks like scars where there were wounds and it looks like light and hope and you even feel afraid of your joy.
Sometimes resurrection feels like standing in front the Table of the Lord at church, right before a man and a woman who love Jesus, too. It looks like holding your hands open, cupped to receive without striving or grasping. It feels like the goodness of bread and the movement of dipping that bread into a cup of wine. It feels like lowering your head to hear them remind you again and again and again that this body is for you and this wine is for you – even you. Resurrection feels like the wine running down your fingers and into the palm of your hand as you hold up that piece of soaked bread and then you put it on your tongue and push it up against the roof of your mouth, tasting and seeing. You trace the sign of the Cross on your doubting and faith-filled head and heart and then you walk back to your seat. It feels like that moment when you are among the people again and your knees buckle and the power of God sweeps into your body like a reminder: there's a rushing wind here, there's a power, a power, a wonder-working power."

I previously mentioned that we would be losing about 4 drawers to the plumbing for the new double sinks in the vanity. Josh and my FIL were able to figure out how to keep all 6 drawers!
This post is from March 2015.
|Here is the vanity completely refinished. It has a bit of a distressed look but I love how you can see the grain of the wood. Before it was refinished, the vanity was painted white.
|One of the large middle drawers before we put it in the vanity to be used. My FIL did not have to use any new wood. All the wood you see came from the drawer.
|And the drawers work great!
|The other middle drawer.
At first, I wanted a new vanity, but Josh said that to pull out the whole old vanity would have torn up a lot of the plaster wall. Also, to get the same quality of wood would have cost a lot of money. I think it cost less than $100 to refinish the old vanity and buy new hardware. I am glad we stayed with the old one!

Oyster Bay, New York - 28 Mar 2014
ABI Research forecasts that revenues from maintenance analytics will total $9.1 billion this year. Following a CAGR of 22%, the market's size will reach $24.7 billion in 2019, driven largely by adoption of predictive analytics and M2M connectivity. While the more advanced forms of maintenance, predictive and prescriptive, still account for just 23% of this year's market, at the end of the forecasting period they will collectively represent 60% of all revenues.
Senior analyst Aapo Markkanen comments, "Today, predictive maintenance is one of the commercially readiest forms of M2M and IoT analytics, possibly second only to usage-based insurance. It helps asset-intensive organizations transform their maintenance operations and eliminate waste, reducing costly downtime. Infrastructure, vehicles, and industrial equipment can all benefit from it."
Predictive maintenance is being championed by likes of GE, Bosch, plus other large and increasingly software-centric manufacturers, but its key enablers are the technology suppliers that allow customers to employ similar approaches regardless of their OEMs. In the latter group, one can find horizontal analytic vendors of various sizes, ranging from BI giants (SAP, IBM) to agile and fast-moving start-ups (RapidMiner, Blue Yonder). Predikto and Mtell, meanwhile, are examples of vendors specializing in predictive maintenance in certain verticals. Finally, maintenance represents an opportunity for many M2M players to add value to their offerings.
Practice director Dan Shey envisions, "Analytics is where much of the money in IoT will be ultimately made. This means that application platforms like Axeda, ILS Technology, ThingWorx and Xively need to facilitate big data if they want to gain a competitive edge. Mnubo and MachineShop, two recent designed-for-analytics start-ups, will make an interesting comparison on that front. Besides the platforms, some of the IoT-savvier telcos – AT&T and Telefonica, for example – could possibly leverage analytics to move up the stack."
These findings are from ABI Research's "Predictive Maintenance Solutions and Strategies" study, which is part of the firm's M2M Service Delivery Platforms and Internet of Everything Research Services.

Police: Centerport man committed bank robbery spree/
By Andrew Wroblewski
A Centerport man was arrested Friday for allegedly robbing three banks and attempting to rob another over less than three weeks this month, Suffolk police said.
Frank Marquez, who police say struck banks in Farmingdale, Huntington, Deer Park and North Babylon, was arrested at 10:23 a.m. in Greenlawn after he was identified through video surveillance and tips left with Crime Stoppers. Police said they monitored his residence, and when he drove off, he was pulled over on Pulaski Road near Butterfield Drive.
He was charged with three counts of robbery in the third degree, one count of attempted robbery in the third degree and aggravated unlicensed operation in the second degree for driving with a suspended license.
Police say Marquez, 46, first struck TD Bank in Farmingdale on July 7. A week later on July 14, Marquez attempted to rob a People's United Bank in Huntington, but was unsuccessful when a teller refused to hand over money. Marquez and went on to successfully rob a TD Bank in Deer Park a few hours later and robbed a Capital One in North Babylon on July 21, police said.
Marquez is being held overnight and is scheduled for arraignment at First District Court in Central Islip on Saturday.
The investigation is continuing. Anyone with information on these incidents is asked to call anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
