Braylon Edwards: 49ers' offense will improve
Landover, --
Md. - Washington nose tackle Barry Cofield wasn't overly impressed after the 49ers managed four field goals, one touchdown and 326 yards in their 19-11 win Sunday.
"I don't think they played that great," Cofield told the Washington media. "I don't think they have that dynamic of an offense."
Cofield's quote wasn't relayed to Braylon Edwards, but the 49ers' wide receiver's retort would go probably something like this: Just wait and see.
San Francisco's offense has scored all of one touchdown in its past 91-plus minutes, but Edwards expressed confidence the unit will begin to match the team's ferocious defense.
Edwards, who missed four games with a knee injury this season, hinted that the offense has only dipped into the playbook. He pointed to his experience last season with the Jets, who won nine of their first 11 games.
"We had already reached our peak," Edwards said. "We had everything in place. We had been running an offense for a couple of years that was in place and we were at our peak. ...
"We're not anywhere near where we can be and that was the difference between here and (the Jets). We were already at our peak. We haven't come close."
Willis does it all: Last week, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio explained that linebacker Patrick Willis' tackle total had dipped this season, in part, because he was involved more in pass coverage.
On Sunday, Willis did it all. He finished with a game-high 13 tackles and forced two fumbles while in coverage, knocking the ball loose after receptions by running back Roy Helu and wide receiver Terrence Austin. The 49ers recovered both fumbles.
"That was a big thing that was asked of me this year, to do more coverage than I have in the past," Willis said. "And if I'm going to do something, I want to do my best at it. That's my focus."
Run streaks intact: The 49ers didn't allow a 100-yard rusher for the 30th consecutive game, matching the NFL's fourth-longest streak since 2000.
In addition, they remained the only NFL team to not allow a rushing touchdown this season. The league record for fewest rushing TDs allowed in a season is two. The mark is held by four teams, all of whom did it before the NFL went to a 16-game season in 1978.
Gore getting close: After his 19-carry, 107-yard performance, Frank Gore is 149 yards away from surpassing Joe Perry and becoming the Niners' all-time leading rusher.
Gore didn't leave the game, but he might have aggravated the ankle sprain he sustained against the Bengals in Week 3. Gore needed assistance as he stepped down from the podium after he met with the media after the game.
Briefly: The Niners have won their first four road games for the first time since 1992. ... San Francisco improved to 7-1 for the first time since 1997. Its six-game winning streak is its longest in 14 years.

WORCESTER, Mass. - The MIT women's volleyball team emerged with a hard-fought 30-28, 25-19, 25-19 victory at Clark University on Tuesday night. Senior Tatiana Berger (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) paced the Engineers (13-5, 4-1 NEWMAC) with 16 kills and 11 digs to go along with two aces.
Senior Rachel Hunt (Arlington Heights, Ill.) connected on 10 of her 16 hitting attempts for a .625 performance and tacked on two blocks for the Cardinal and Gray. Junior Jenny Astrachan (Austin, Texas) tallied 12 kills, five digs, and four aces as senior Emma Gargus (Columbus, Ohio) posted four aces and five digs. Freshmen Jennie Glerum (Redmond, Wash.) and Tori Wuthrich (Grosse Pointe Woods, Mich.) both collected seven digs as Glerum tacked on two aces. Junior Nicole Gagnier (Atlanta, Ga.) rounded out the squad with 41 assists.
The opening set was a back-and-forth battle which saw Clark reach set point at 24-23. A blast by senior Kristine Bunker (Falmouth, Mass.) evened the score while an Atrachan kill gave the Engineers the slight edge. The Cougars responded by earning three more set points, the last time at 28-27. Berger's kill provided the last tie as Gargus closed out the frame with an ace and a kill.
Trailing 6-4 in the second stanza, MIT mounted an 18-3 run to claim the lead for good. Despite the deficit, Clark continued to attack as it narrowed the gap to five (24-19). However, the Engineers replied with an Astrachan kill to end the comeback bid.
In the third set, MIT raced out to a 7-0 advantage, but the Cougars knotted the frame at 10. The Engineers responded with a 9-3 run to gain some breathing room; however, Clark generated another spurt that brought it within one (19-18). Following a timeout by the visitors, MIT registered six of the last seven points, including three kills from Hunt, to capture the victory.
Next up for MIT will be a home tri-match against non-conference foes Simmons College and Bowdoin College on Saturday, Oct. 5.

I have found myself in discussion mode with the elders of our local LDS church without realizing the implications of such an agreement. Basically while attending a service with my husband, who is a member, (I love him and want to spend time with him while he is home as he works away from home, even if that means attending church), before we could leave after the service we were caught by the eager elders. Of course they had to ask if we were both members...grrr, why, why do they have to go there...and because I have this problem, (I can't be dishonest), I of course said that I was not. They asked if I would mind having them over to talk about stuff and me not liking conflict or confrontation or negativity said I would not mind. I didn't realize that this would begin a formal schedule of something they have been thoroughly trained for. I however only know how I feel, but like singing in front of strangers, when confronted with the questions I close up and can't speak the logic I believe. After one evening of apparently "The 1st Lesson" they had scheduled a second in less than a week from then, which I had to reschedule and haven't yet because I don't feel ready to do so.
How can I respond to their planned/taught questions respectfully and honestly so that they cannot deny my rational thinking and conclusions I have come to? I am not trying to offend or start anything that may get my husband treated negatively.
I may edit this later if I find a better way to bring my question to the "support group" however for now, I just really want some help.
I told the elders I don't know if I'll want to reschedule the discussions, but that in truth, I'm not ready for regular discussions/lessons. I said I am actively investigating/building the foundation for what I believe, but that at this point any questions I have, I can just go to my husband and I thanked them. They thanked me for my honesty and then invited me to 'continue to please pray to God and ask ....and blah blah blah' and promised me an answer that its true soon and then said I should totally have them back over for dinner soon. I wasn't surprised, but glad to have been able to say what I needed. I will be strong and honest with them, and anyone, anytime my beliefs are questioned.
Thank you for your help. I am grateful to have a safe place where I can ask for it.

"...make sure you're informed about their arguments. Read up on the history of Mormonism and the nature and origins of Mormon scriptures. Read up about arguments for and against God generally."
Good word =) I really appreciate this response. Are you aware of any solid readings in these areas? I started a search online only to find mostly individual opinions, etc., but to have any kind of reading that is not deliberately against the church, but instead deliberately regarding historical truth, or findings at least, if no truth can be agreed on, I am not sure how to search exactly. I am going to the library today, so if there is something you know of I would love to look it up. Thank you, again.
While Nelson has pointed out what he thinks is key, I'm going to point out what I think will be the most difficult.
"I am not trying to offend or start anything that may get my husband treated negatively."
Regardless of what you do or do not say, your husband may be treated negatively for the fact that he is married to an unbeliever. No offense to your husband, but Mormons believe some crazy things. Bringing up these points and refuting them even in a polite and civil matter may cause offense. I say may because quite frankly I don't know these people so can't make any assumptions except from my own experience.
Personally, I think that they will likely deny everything you say against their religion to include the things that are obviously silly, talk you in circles, and then when they realize that you are too intelligent to be converted, the portcullis of their gated community will come crashing down.
On the other hand, they could be genuinely patient and kind people who think that they will wear you down in time. If that's the case they will be accepting and open towards you... as long as they think that there is the possibility that you will convert. Hopefully, the best outcome will happen and there is something of a truce where they accept that you won't join their church, but won't keep your husband from it. You do have the benefit of the fact that since Mormons take marriage so seriously (so seriously that they think believers are married for eternity) that they will probably be adverse to breaking you two up.
I'm a cynic and don't think this will end well just because the Mormons I have met typically are zealous in their beliefs, but if your husband married a non-believer, well there might be hope of a good outcome.
Just remember, they are trying desperately to sell you something that you don't want to buy. It's far more important to them that you buy into it and they will do what they can to convince you that you want it.
Good luck.
I will look those up right now! Thank you!
This is a reply to Sagacious Hawk. For some reason my reply keeps going to others comments I haven't even read yet, hopefully this goes in the right spot. Try #3:
Thank you for your reply. I really loved how you left your assumptions open to possibilities, an ability many are incapable of, at least in a world of so many "open minds" who are in truth, quite closed.
I also appreciated that your response was really such a message of what to expect embedded with hopeful outcomes. One of the struggles for me has been how to keep them (the elders...or any of the members, I suppose) at that hope for my conversion, only because I want them to keep treating my husband, and my family, well. To keep them at bay would probably require me leading them on a bit, which is dishonest. However, I also want to be ready to stand up for truth when it is requested or questioned. If that means my family will be treated differently, then so be it. I only then hope my husband will not feel down or less of a man in his own eyes. How he feels about himself, is the only thing I care about where anyone's beliefs/feelings of him are concerned. But that may be a whole new topic to discuss one day when I need help in the area of being a good wife.
Thank you. I look forward to any future words from you.
I agree with Sagacious Hawk - your greatest concern should be your marital relationship, and that could suffer if these people react to your husband because of you. If I were you - and I assume your husband knows you don't share his views - I would lay the whole thing out and ask him what he thinks you should do. He may say, "Tear into them, it won't bother me!" - likely not, but at least you'll have some idea as to how important he considers the issue to be, which should give you some idea as to how the issue might affect your relationship. Then you have to decide what your priorities are, and that's a decision only you can make.
During my adolescence I visited a variety of religious organizations,LDS included. After several weeks of the brothers indoctrination attempts, I was still unperturbed in my atheism, at which point one of the brothers offered to take me out behind the barn and "beat the hell" outta me. Needless to say, that was the end of my investigation of the LDS Church.
Holy crap
What a horrible and unacceptable attempt to show anyone the ways of Jesus. I'm always blown away at the ways believers treat non-believers and then preach the love of Christ and that God is love.
Then again, Jesus did preach and support some pretty horrible and unacceptable things as well. And as far as what God has been accused of doing, this isn't too far from his ways, either.
And you didn't just turn the other cheek?
Thank you so much for your reply. Being married to someone who has been my best friend for almost 20 years and who has loved me as much as I love him for as long, the area we seem to disagree in, although not small, is one of the only areas we disagree in. I wouldn't marry him over 10 years ago for fear that he wasn't truly being honest with either of us and would in fact one day try to convert me, but he has been by my side and loved me for so long now and finally convinced me that he always new I would never convert. He loved me so much and wanted to be with me even if that meant I was never a member. And when I realized he was serious I also made sure he understood that I would never want him to be treated differently by the church or his family/friends, but to realize that he might, to which he replied that we'll cross that bridge if/when we come to it and that it would not matter to him anyway. No one has ever made him so happy and that makes it worth the risk of the suffering he has or will encounter because of my beliefs, which is much less suffering than either of us encountered in not being together.
That being said, I will do some reading to be able to respond confidently and respectfully. To debate is not my wish. I'm not good at it anyway because I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt to avoid conflict, even if I don't agree with them. I do want them to see that I respect their right to believe and hope they can reach a point where they respect my right as well.
I will post an update when it comes, welcoming/looking forward to your reaction.
Thank you
I think you've nailed it Tiffany --
Wow, thank you for your comment. Coming from a former-missionary, the advice on how to handle this is very helpful. I may just have to add that into my next conversation with them. A thank you, but no thank you and maybe let them know if I do have any further desire to discuss anything I can just go to my husband... hmmm that actually might work. =)
Thank you so much.

Naan Bread. Pesto. Tomatoes. Fresh Mozzarella Cheese. A Grill.
One fantastic meal!
I got the inspiration for this dish from my sister-in-law, Aggie, who made these Grilled Veggie Naan Pizzas with Pesto Sauce.
I made mine with fresh mozzarella, tomato slices and pesto. We loved the slightly charred and crunchy crust that you get when grilling the Naan Bread. An easy weeknight meal or cut into pieces for an appetizer.
Give these "different" pizzas a try.....I know you will enjoy them!
Grilled Tomato and Mozzarella Naan Pizza
Recipe adapted from Aggie's Kitchen
4 Naan Flatbreads (found in deli section or speciality breads)
8 tablespoons pesto, homemade or store bought (I used Classico brand)
2 large tomatoes, sliced
Fresh Mozzarella, sliced (from deli or speciality cheese section)
olive oil
Preheat grill to medium heat. Brush one side of Naan Bread with olive oil. Place side with olive oil down on grill rack. Grill for a few minutes until bread starts to get light grill marks and is slightly crisp. Take off grill, place on baking sheet(s) and set aside.
Spread 2 tablespoons pesto on each of the non-grilled sides of the bread. Top with mozzarella cheese and tomato slices. Close grill and cook for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Remove from grill and cut into slices.
Mom's Cooking Club Lesson: Personalize these individual pizzas with your favorite toppings. Mushrooms, Bell Peppers and Pepperoni are some other
toppings I want to try. If you're not a fan of pesto, use some tomato or pizza sauce.

Nearly 50 people turned out Thursday night to learn more about plans to convert parts of HOV lanes on Interstate 680 into toll roads during peak driving hours.
The plan is similar to one already in operation on southbound I-680 south of Sunol. When the project is complete, north and south lanes from San Ramon to Walnut Creek would have tolls during commute times.
Tolls for solo drivers would vary based on congestion and to help traffic in the express lanes flow smoothly. The fee to drive the road would increase as traffic congestion increases and decrease when congestion decreases.
The project -- expected to be completed by spring 2016 -- would convert existing HOV lanes to express lanes from Rudgear Road in Walnut Creek to Alcosta Boulevard in San Ramon southbound and from Alcosta to Livorna Road northbound. It would create 23 miles of new express lanes through San Ramon, Danville, Alamo and southern Walnut Creek.
I-680 would not be widened or have new lanes added. Instead, the existing HOV lanes would be restriped and have new FasTrak toll readers, traffic monitoring video cameras and equipment, and observation areas to help the California Highway Patrol monitor the lanes.
There are a couple differences between the toll lanes that would be installed and the toll area in operation near Sunol, according to Pierce Gould, senior planner of express lanes for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC).
Unlike the restrictive access into and out of lanes currently in use on I-680 south, Gould said, "access will be like today's HOV lanes."
That means drivers would be able to move in and out of the lanes rather than waiting for access points on the road.
A new kind of toll tag would be used as well, Gould said. The new FasTrak tag would not have to be hidden away by drivers with multiple passengers or other cars that can use the road without paying. That tag would have a switch to indicate if the driver is paying to drive the road, or in a carpool or clean air vehicle.
The plan is a product of the Bay Area Infrastructure Financing Authority (BAIFA), a joint effort between the MTC and the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA). The authority consists of elected officials from Alameda, Contra Costa, Napa and Solano counties.
When the network of express lanes is complete, BAIFA will operate 270 miles of express lanes. BAIFA will start by converting 150 miles of existing HOV lanes to express lanes, then add 120 miles of new lanes to close gaps in the system.
BAIFA says the toll lanes would create a seamless network of HOV lanes that would encourage carpools, vanpools and express buses, make better use of HOV lane capacity, provide more reliable travel times for solo drivers and manage lanes to keep traffic moving more efficiently.
The project is not connected to a plan that would create ramps onto and off HOV lanes in San Ramon.

Former Louisiana Congresswoman Lindy Boggs Dies
Former Rep. Lindy Boggs of Louisiana, who used the soft-spoken grace of a plantation lady to fight for civil rights during nearly 18 years in Congress, has died. She was 97.
Her daughter, ABC News journalist Cokie Roberts, says her mother died Saturday of natural causes at her home in Chevy Chase, Md.
Boggs' years in Congress started with a special election in 1973 to finish the term of her husband, Hale, whose plane disappeared over Alaska six months earlier. Between them, they served a half-century in the House.
When she announced her retirement in 1990, she was the only white representing a black-majority district in Congress.
Boggs later served three years as ambassador to the Vatican in the Clinton administration.

Greenwich softball rallies from 14 runs down, stuns Warde in 11
Call it a comeback for the ages.
Senior Madison Burhans ripped a one-out, two-run double in the bottom of the 11th inning Wednesday evening, lifting the Greenwich softball team to a dramatic and, no doubt, improbable 17-16 victory over Warde at Julian Curtiss School.
The marathon win took nearly three hours to complete, and, more importantly, kept the Cardinals perfect season going at 5-0.
Remarkably, Greenwich battled back from a 14-run deficit before also rallying twice in extra innings.
Natalie De La Garrigue gave the Mustangs (3-2) the lead back with an RBI double in the top of the 11th, but once again, these Cardinals had plenty of fight left in their bats.
Rebecca DeCarlo -- who highlighted Greenwich's momentum-changing 10-run fourth inning with a three-run homer -- reached base along with Erin Ferguson and Erin White.
That set the stage for Burhans, who crushed a pitch from Gabriella Natoli over the center fielder's head to plate the game-tying and winning runs.
A wild celebration ensued, and deservedly so as the Cardinals showed their mettle on a blustery day.
"Everyone dreams of being up with the bases loaded in that situation and I was just the lucky one today," Burhans said. "We have a lot of seniors who have been playing together for a long time, so we all really believe in each other. We've had some wild games, but I don't think any of them compare to this one."
In addition to the offensive heroics -- which featured a combined 36 hits -- the Cardinals got a big boost from senior Jessie Schelz, who allowed just two runs in seven strong innings of relief to earn the victory.
Greenwich finally tied the game in the seventh on consecutive two-out RBI singles by DeCarlo and Ferguson.
Warde would reclaim the lead on a run-scoring single by Shannon McCartney in the eighth, but Greenwich rallied in the home half of the inning thanks to an RBI single by Jen Ambrogio.
Ferguson finished with five hits, while White, Ambrogio, Burhans, DeCarlo and Dominique Gambino each had multi-hit games.
Several fine defensive plays by both teams were also mixed in to the epic contest.
"It was a total team effort and just a wild game," Greenwich coach Mary Beth Fratello said. "It usually takes us a little while to get going, but I was a little nervous after the third inning. The girls easily could have packed it in down 14-0, but not this group. They showed a lot of heart and I'm just hoping it will carry over to tomorrow's game against Staples."
Greenwich 17, Warde 16 (11 inn.)
Warde 142 700 010 01-- 16 17 5
Greenwich 000 (10)20 210 02--17 19 2
Records: W 3-2; G 5-0. Batteries: W-Gabriella Natoli and Brianna West; G-Katie Piro, Jessie Schelz and Erin Ferguson.

By Armand Tetreault
Photo: Armand Tetreault wasn't afraid to try an unusual tactic. In only four years, it has helped him put 13 deer in the freezer, including this Rhode Island buck.
I am 54 years old and fairly new to the sport of whitetail hunting.
Since my hunting career hasn't been all that long, many hunters might assume I wouldn't have much to offer in the way of hunting knowledge.
But due to the great success I have had with one particular tip, I feel compelled to share it with my friends and Buckmasters fans.
In only four short seasons, I have taken 13 deer in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, including several nice bucks. Here's the kicker: They were all taken ON PUBLIC LAND.
Every hunter knows deer have fantastic senses of hearing, sight and smell, so I came up with a trick that has proven to defeat all three.
Deer are naturally camouflaged very well, and other animals have a hard time seeing them, including other deer. They use their tails to communicate with each other.
A swish and a flick means the coast is clear, so it's okay to proceed. Here is how I use this to my advantage.
First, I take a small, white sock and spray it well with doe urine. In the rut and pre-rut, I use an estrus doe scent. During archery season, I use a plain doe urine scent.
Then, I take a light fishing line and lower the sock down from my stand to approximately 24 inches above the ground.
From time to time, I twitch the sock slightly. This gets the attention of nearby deer, as well as any buck that might be approaching.
The flicking of white is often enough to convince the old boys that it is safe to proceed my way.
In addition to the visual effect, I like that the doe-scented sock is elevated and any breeze can distribute the odors better than if scent had been poured onto the ground.
If the wind picks up and the sock sways unnaturally, simply lower the sock to the ground and think of it as a scent rag.
I hope this small tip helps my fellow hunters. In only a few short years, it has certainly put a lot of venison in my freezer!

Latkes and brisket. Thats it for Hanukkah food traditions. Oh, and applesauce and sour cream to put on top.
The religious history of the holiday is equally brief. In 165 B.C., Matthatias Maccabee objected to pagan worship inside Jerusalems great Temple and killed a fellow Jew for the practice as well as Alexander the Greats regent, who ordered it.
He fled to the hills, organized his family for battle and, two years later, his son Judah triumphed over the Greeks and retook Jerusalem. While cleaning up the Temple to be rededicated, they discovered they had only one nights oil to light the sacred lamp, but it lasted eight, until more oil could be found, thus the Festival of the Lights.
Sim sala bim, thats all folks. Bring on the presents.
At least, thats all most of us know about Hanukkah. And whats to complain about? You light candles, fry potato pancakes the most delicious dish in all of Jewish cooking and give and receive gifts. All the better that the holiday isnt freighted with say, the sadness of Yom Kippur (the day of atonement) or the cultural redemption of Passover.
After all, who doesnt like a fried potato?
You can pretty much do whatever you want, but theyre so much better when theyre fried, said Enid Brodsky, a founding member of Durangos synagogue, Har Shalom. However, she concedes, the house smells for days.
To combat the lingering aroma of potatoes, onions and hot oil, Brodsky has developed a secret method for making latkes (the Yiddish word for the delicacy). She fires up her electric skillet outside on her porch. She covers everything with paper towels and newspapers first, of course, then fries away. Another secret: the more oil you use, the crisper the pancake will turn out.
Latkes are the traditional food of Hanukkah because the potatoes are fried in oil a reference to the miracle of a one-day supply of oil lasting eight days. But heres the mystery: The story of the miracle doesnt arise until 700 years after the rebel band of Maccabeans overthrows the mighty Greek army.
The story of the Maccabees invokes the image of warrior Jews fighting for independence from the Greeks and the Syrians, who were their caretakers in the region. Other cultures were quickly Hellenized, taking Greek names and adopting Greek customs, which the Jews rebuffed. Rabbis in the Middle Ages wanted to downplay the military victory and emphasize the role of God, according to Jewish scholars. Voila the story of the miracle of the oil appears for the first time in the Babylonian Talmud about 500 A.D.
But lets not let that get in the way of a good latke. Whats the perfect accompaniment to a golden brown, crisp-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside latke, with homemade applesauce? Any Jewish person of Eastern European descent will not take a breath before answering brisket, that tough, Kosher cut of beef that must be braised for hours before achieving anything nearing deliciousness.
Still, its a tradition, and a tasty one at that.
Brisket, youve got to have brisket, said Phyllis Max, also a member of Har Shalom. Latkes and brisket, thats what you have on Hanukkah.
Brodsky will sometimes prepare tuna salad when shes entertaining Kosher friends who dont mix meat and dairy and want sour cream on their latkes, but thats rare.
If you were looking for a deeper meaning to Hanukkah than the simple joys of eating fried food and getting presents, Har Shalom Rabbi Eliot Baskin can explain it all to you.
You have the Greeks telling Jews we cant observe our religion, he said. Its the first ever fight for religious liberty and freedom.
Hanukkahs story of religious persecution and enforced conformity the Greeks wanted citizens to adhere to a state religion, the better to hold the far-flung empire together is especially relevant in the world today, he said, pointing to efforts in some Arab nations to impose a state religion orthodox Islam on all its citizens. Large, prosperous countries have been torn asunder for less. Yugoslavia splintered into seven nations after the fall of Communism, dividing into countries dominated by a single religious group, from Orthodox Christianity to Catholicism to Islam.
One thing the original celebration of Hanukkah never included was gifts thats a modern invention, one rabbis and parents inveigh against with each passing year. Older Jews say as children they rarely received presents during Hanukkah, only a little gelt, which translates into coins, either real or chocolate.
For himself and his family, Baskin says he emphasizes the happy ritual of lighting the Hanukkah lights each night a symbol of bringing light into the world. He collects menorahs, and this year will have a hard time choosing between the one shaped like a Volkswagen bus or the one fashioned after a duck.
More seriously, he shares an age-old concern with many Christian families, the commercialization of the holiday. Its easy for the meaning of Hanukkah and Christmas to get lost in the materialistic blare that starts even before Thanksgiving.
What is more important, the beauty of religion or the religion of beauty? Whats more important, giving or getting? the rabbi asked, more than a little frustrated.
Just as for Christians, the holiday is a time to rededicate ourselves to practicing religion, i.e., the better good for all, and dispensing with the temptations of a consumer society focused on filling the desires of the individual.
OK, I can do without gifts, even the chocolate. But I need a latke, heavy on the sour cream, to help me contemplate the true meaning of Hanukkah. Happy holidays!

Visited REI HQ yesterday for Carnivelo, a celebration of bike culture and a preview of Novara's 2011 line. Highlights include:
Single Speed
Mixed feelings on the combination of colors with a minimalist single speed, but still a nice bike and Novara's take is to do a single speed without a flat bar or ridiculously uncomfortable drop. It has bottle cage bosses too.
With the exception of their folding bike, the urban line is all steel like this one. That's a good industry trend to forego crap aluminum for steel.
Seeing this, I said, "don't tease, build this please."
We'll have more details as this line gets finalized. REI is also returning to Interbike with us this year, as a sponsor of the Mobile Social Interbike Remix.

Talk:1050: Forgot Algebra
Actually, I always use Megan's argument whenever I'm in World History Class.--Jimmy C (talk) 21:34, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, because what intelligent people did in the past when faced with complex decisions can have NO bearing on anything in my own life. 188.8.131.52 08:17, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
It allways seems strange to me that there are places in the world where preparing your own meals is not an everyday task to most people. Living in Norway it just seems extremely decadent!18.104.22.168 20:44, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think that by "learning to cook" he means to prepare food, but to do it well and to enjoy it. Many people can prepare very limited food, causing them to not enjoy cooking and to believe that they cannot cook. Theo (talk) 21:06, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
- No, he meant "learning to cook". We learn math, not necessarily so we can enjoy it but so that we can function as a modern human being. You don't have to enjoy cooking, but by god's sake you should at least learn the basics. We can't all be generation Y, you know; things would cease to function. 220.127.116.11 08:17, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
Fortunately for mathophiles, it appears that this sentiment fades with age. In an August 2013 Gallup survey of American adults, respondents were asked which school subject they considered most valuable in their daily lives, and Math took the top spot. http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/curriculum/2013/09/math_viewed_as_most_valuable_s.html Frijole (talk) 23:39, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
A google search of "when am I ever going to use X?" reveals that "math" and "algebra" get tens of thousands of hits, physics gets hundreds, while just about everything else is under 100. I think the extreme dislike of math (edweek survey notwithstanding, and probably self-serving) is in a different league from what others have discussed here. The explanation should reflect. Jd2718 (talk) 03:16, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
- It was a Gallup survey, and how can the choice of "math" be self-serving anyway?? It is an educational journal, for pete's sake! The only choices were school subjects.
- My own reasoning is that people have an unnatural fear of math simply because it *is* a pure science, it *is* abstract. The idiotic thing is that people use math all the time, they just don't call it that. Trying to work out how many drinks you can buy and still have cab fare? Algebra, b*tches! 220.127.116.11 08:17, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
Counterpoint: Unlike music and foreign language, math is a required course throughout school, which must be infuriating for those who struggle with it. My belief for what are currently the core classes is that students should be taught the material that will help them "in real life" and in a variety of jobs, and probably a bit of extra knowledge beyond that; but the much more complex and abstract topics should be optional. ~AgentMuffin

Some of my favourite lyric samples:
These do sound much better in Japanese but even in English there's some depth in them. There are Japanese songs out there that are incredibly poetic and beautiful, it's just that you need to look for these. I think a lot of the J-pop that foreigners often get exposed to are a bit... iffy... it seems like a lot of people think J-pop = idol music, which isn't the case. I think Japanese music offers some of the best lyrics out there!
On another note... I don't really find J-pop that 'catchy'? Maybe you guys listen to different artists than I do? I think J-pop's more moving than fun, I don't think I ever felt this way about music before I started on J-pop

I get what you mean Haladflier. I do notice I have that "Idol" view towards Jpop. I think I'm so used to listening to "serious" themed western music that I like to listen to a totally goofy sounding Jpop song. But I do like that they seem sparkly or colorful.
lol, I've mostly only listened to SAWA and some similar styled anime songs. I think this is the Idolization you're talking about?
Jrock can be pretty sweet though. What I've heard of both Jpop and Jrock seem really refreshing.

From my observation, J-rock and J-pop put more effort on the instrumental than western rock music. They are willing to use other instruments than typical and more popular instruments for some experimentation.
One thing I like with J-pop is that they don't make use of autotune bullshit way too excessively so far. I'm not really into it, only anime op and ed so I wouldn't know if there are some artists using that.
Another thing I liked is that they always seem to have some solos. They are not always necessary but make the songs better.

J-rock is awesome but I think J-pop needs more exposure (apart from the idol groups I mean). J-rock is pretty popular outside of Japan, it seems, and for good reason, I'm just mystified by the lack of mention on other J-pop-ers
Artists that actually know how to play instruments = good sign. Artists that often sound even better live (and can actually sing) = also a very good sign. Both of these, you can find in J-pop!
Wow, I feel like I'm advertising for it or something (I'm such a fan...)

The voice. That right there, beyond the fact that Japanese music is influenced by classic music from American decades ago, is what I find is the huge different between J music and western music.
Even considering voice actors and the contrast from their normal voice and character voices gives you an impression of how amazing their vocal work is, especially after hearing some outtakes.
There seem to be no shortage of vocal talent in Japan. It's got to have something to do with the Japanese language and their style of talking. The way they add tones to their voice to make something seem clearly sarcastic or serious, compared to the way Americans do it. Americans are more likely to recite something without such tones, through some sort of lecture-like recital. I know how Japanese really speak in RL is different than in anime, where the spit words out like a machine gun, really fast, rather than slow and clearly, but the tone is still present. I can picture a girl trying to spread gossip or a rumor or something read in a magazine and being excited by it, spitting out all the words in about the same amount of time I can go hmm with a confused tone. I guess it's mainly the girls that have that kind of voice, now that I think about it. Japanese guys with their polite, non-discriminating tone-less style of speech probably wouldn't develop good voices.
I made a thread a while back, trying to find the most beautiful singing voices. I didn't restrict it to Japanese voices, but allowed any, to provide contrast. A large majority listed Japanese voices and I feel one of them, Kokia, stands out as the best I've heard so far, over the likes of Whitney Houston and others that have impressed me before. Probably no coincidence that people find female Japanese voices to be more pleasing to the ear than most others. Lately, I find a girl's voice to be even more of a factor in determining their overall charm, actually being in the top #3 of my personal factors to consider if I even want to hook up with them. Coincidences?

Mostly Youtube, I don't actually own any Jpop CD's. I usually research who plays my favorite anime songs and branch out from there.
Haha, Wikipedia can be a good source for this stuff.
There's also that Pandora radio online. I haven't used it much but I imagine it'd be helpful.

I like how in Japanese music (especially with anime openings) it interacts with the audience and really sets the mood during that moment. I don't really listen to North American music anymore so I don't know what to say.

Some more legitimate bands like Foo Fighters, Fallout Boy and Interpol, they may able to play their instruments properly, but all their songs sound so simple.

The main reason I love J-pop so much is that a lot of the music has this genuine sweetness and pure emotion that I can't seem to feel in other genres. Even lyrics themselves are so moving sometimes. It might have something to do with the language itself, or maybe the culture, but either way, I think Japanese music is spiritually uplifting (not emo and whiny like some other kinds of music I really dislike... won't say what).

but I totally agree that bands like Foo Fighters, Fallout Boy and Interpo have songs that sound very simple, yet are really good. I can vague for this because bands like The Beatles. The simplicity of some of there songs are almost elementary. Yet they sound good, and the lyrics are good

Their influences are from the Beatles and some old-school punk bands, I can understand what they are trying to do. Sometimes, simplicity is good thing, too. I guess the reason I dislike those aforementioned bands, probably because of frontman themselves too. With the exception of Good Charlotte, two of these guys are approaching 40's yet they act like teenagers and dress like one, also writing lyrics only the certain age group can really appreciate.
While I'm at it, I also don't like self-indulgence. I'm talking about Dream theater and Yngwie Malmsteen. Sometimes they may go overboard with technical prog. Most Japanese soundtracks I heard are so catchy and infectious even with metal approach.

Then the reverse side of this is "too much" skill. I think of jazz musicians and how a lot of them are technically awesome, but they don't necessarily play music because they're just jacking off (sorry..) over the changes; just a bunch of chromatic ideas and patterns = not music to me. Of course I don't mean to say all jazz musicians have bad taste, there are a ton I love.
I think I'm growing on Jpop is because although some songs are really simple it doesn't seem to come off as "immature" or lacking skill. I think texturally too they're much more creative. Hearing all the synths, vocal harmonies, strings, etc, is like looking at moving paintings for me. And when I think of some Western rock bands I think of bland power chords, all the time.
Haha, and then like others have said, the different language. Daaaaaamn, takes it to a whole other level. I don't know what they're singing about but it touches me so much more than English lyrics.

This will point you in the right direction
Surprised no one got into this but Im in a Japanese band so ive been delving into this issue alot lately. One major component of the jpop sound is the chord progression it uses. Particularly the IV7 V7 IIIm7 IVm pattern which is used in some form in over half of jpop/jrock songs. Especially in the choruses.
Go ahead, listen to all the jpop and jrock hits you know and you'll find it everywhere.
This comes from 80s eurobeat hence the 80s flair that people talk about.
Western songs such as Rick Astley Together Forever and Bananaramas Cruel Summer use it among others.
A more modern example would be Girls Not Grey by AFI (A song I really liked due to its similarity to jrock. Go figure)
There are other common progressions such as a special anime progression along with one developed by Komuro Testsuro from TM Network which is used in alot of 90s music and has a disco flair.
And of course there is good ole Canon such as Sakuranbo by Otsukai Ai among many others.
Other than the progressions I think as someone mentioned the syllables make the melodies slightly different as well as the fact that japanese sing in pure vowels to the notes. So the singing comes off more as a piano would. In natural English its really hard to sing like this.
Im sure theres more that I havent explored but this is what Ive noticed thus far.

Back in the 90s, J-music sounded like "70s" music to me.... in the 2000s, it started having early 80s rock sounds (Joan Jett, ZZ Top, Bangles, Eurythmics, Go-gos, etc).
It just seems like there's a 20ish year lag in musical trends... (sweeping generalization wiith many exceptions.... for instance, ska music picked up steam in Japan faster)

In 2013, Maurice Lacroix provoked discussion and incredulity with the launch of its Masterpiece Mysterious Seconds. It answered questions others failed to ask. The brand that once queried, "Why not a square wheel?", now enquired, "Does time have to be circular?".
The Masterpiece Mysterious Seconds depicts time in a linear form. A twin-tipped seconds hand, baton-like in form, traverses a solid disc, appearing to float and move in an almost balletic motion. Each tip of the seconds hand waits in turn to share the responsibility for imparting time.
The Mysterious Seconds reveals some of its micro-mechanics housed within the case, courtesy of an open-worked area of the dial. Hour and minute hands are located off-centre at 2 o'clock. However, by contrast, the mystique of the model is bestowed by its thought-provoking seconds display.
There appears to be no physical connection between the novel seconds hand and the movement beneath.
When it was initially launched in 2013, the Mysterious Seconds was released in two limited series of 125 pieces each.
This year, Maurice Lacroix has released two new versions of the Masterpiece Mysterious Seconds, "Contemporary" and "Classic", again produced in limited numbers of 250 pieces each.
The off-centred hours and minutes display of the "Contemporary" employs white Arabic numerals, set against a black background. This provides a modern appearance and a highly legible display. The centre of the hours and minutes dial continues to be open-worked, as is the adjacent area, allowing the wearer to see the movement below.
The linear seconds display is presented on a black disc with a twin-tipped seconds hand, red at one end and white at the other, interfacing with a red, grey and white scale. The resultant aesthetic appearance is dynamic, courtesy of its black gold finishing, and provides an alternative depiction of time that encourages discussion.
A further choice is provided in the form of the "Classic". This version has a distinctly more traditional appearance. The hours and minutes display features a dark blue scale marked with white Arabic numerals.
The linear seconds display employs a white disc, appearing pure and angelic. The twin-tipped hand, in this instance, is blue at one end and white at the other. It floats above the disc and interfaces with a black and blue scale. The visible movement execution is rhodium coated, providing a bright appearance to the open-worked dial area.
Automatic manufacture movement ML215 Functions: - Hours and minutes indicated by off-centered hands at 2 o'clock - "Mysterious" seconds display at 6 o'clock - Vibration: 18,000 vibrations per hour, 2.5 Hz ■ Power reserve: 50 hours - Jewels: 48 - Adjustments: 5 positions after full winding and 2 positions after 24 hoursAbout our movements

CPI got over Rs 3 crore funding, shows RTI
The Communist Party of India (CPI) has received over Rs 3 crore funding through various sources in the past five years, an answer to an RTI query revealed todaydelhi Updated: Jul 15, 2013 15:08 IST
The Communist Party of India (CPI) has received over Rs 3 crore funding through various sources in the past five years, an answer to an RTI query revealed Monday.
The disclosure comes after last month's Central Information Commission (CIC) order that political parties are public authorities and need to respond to Right to Information queries within six weeks.
Replying to a query filed by RTI activist Subhash Chandra Agarwal, the CPI said that it received Rs 31,362,341 from various sources since 2008.
The total includes contributions made above the amount of Rs.20,000.
"CPI should be complimented to become first and the only political party for disclosing funding made to it by various sources, when query was made to the party through an RTI petition," said Agarwal.
He said the CPI disclosed the funding even though it did not approve of CIC verdict bringing political parties under the ambit of the RTI Act.
"Similar RTI petitions were sent to several political parties, including the six which were ordered as public-authorities under RTI Act by CIC through its June 3 order," he said.
The commission in a 54-page order said six national parties - the Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Communist Party of India - Marxist (CPI-M), CPI and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) - have been substantially funded and have the "character of public authority" under the RTI Act.

Yo Guys,
Recently I stumbled on the following article:
The U.S. is since 11-9 sept. attacks setting up a global early warning information system (GEWIS). It's a part of the American national cyber security strategy. The intention is to buy information from several ISP and telecom providers. According to the White House its not there intention to collect private information from individual users. Its for the ISP very simple to hide none relevant information. (Yeah right, heard that before)
Question, does this mean only for the citizens of the U.S. or is it global? And what does this mean? Share your thoughts on this and let me know what's your opinion.

Earth : Asia : Southeast Asia : Thailand : Eastern Thailand : Inner Eastern Thailand : Aranyaprathet
Aranyaprathet (อรัญประเทศ, also Aran Yaprathet, Aranya Prathet, or just Aran) is a border town in Sa Kaew Province, Eastern Thailand. It is the busiest land crossing into Cambodia, and the most convenient for onward travel to Siem Reap and the Angkor Archaeological Park.
Get in
By bus
Immediately after crossing into Thailand, touts offer taxis (1900฿/taxi) to Bangkok, and slightly more for other Thai cities. Sharing a taxi might be a good idea.
A few meters beyond this, in Rongkleu Market, there are air-con minibuses to Bangkok (250-300฿/person). Depending on destination in Bangkok, one's drop-off point may range from exactly where one wishes to in front of a skytrain station.
From the bus staion in town, 6 km from the border, there are reliable and inexpensive government bus services from and to many destinations, including Bangkok (frequent), Buriram (frequent), Chachoengsao (frequent), Chanthaburi (frequent), Mukdahan, Nakhon Ratchasima (Khorat) (frequent), Pattaya, Rayong, Surin, and Udon Thani. For Trat, go via Chanthaburi.
You can take a bus to Aranyaprathet from Bangkok's Northern Bus Station (Mo Chit). First class and second class buses leave from the ground floor of the terminal approximately every half hour with ticket costing 207 Baht and 160 Baht respectively. If travelling in the other direction, the last bus to Bangkok leaves Aranyaprathet at around 6:00 pm. The trip takes four to five and a half hours but be mindful that the border crossing closes at 8:00 pm and if you arrive too close to closing time there is a chance you will be requested to provide extra US dollars before they will process your visa. Also be mindful that the shuttle bus to the transport depot ceases to run before the border crossing shuts; if you find that you have arrived too late you will need to find a taxi to drive you the 2 hours to Siem Reap.
All roads to Aranyaprathet have checkpoints and most buses will be boarded at least once by uniformed military/immigration personnel looking primarily for illegal immigrants from Cambodia. Westerners are rarely bothered, but keep your passport handy — and don't go this way if you've overstayed!
Suvarnabhumi Airport
Buses run between Aran and Bangkokg's Suvarnabhumi Airport bus terminal (about 10 minutes drive, free of charge) regularly throughout the day but not 24hrs.
The Suvarnabhumi Airport bus terminal can also be a good way to connect with other destinations, including Ekamai and many other points in Bangkok served by Suvarnabhumi's extensive and frequent local bus services.
Don Muang Airport
To connect with Don Muang, use the Moh Chit bus services. When going to Aranyaprathet, it may be possible to save time by boarding the bus at Rangsit; the catch with this strategy is that 1st class buses won't stop there if all seats are already taken. When going to Don Muang, request to disembark directly in front of the airport.
Bangkok Northern Bus Terminal
First class buses from/to Moh Chit run every 30-60 minutes from and take 4-5 hours; the fare varies depending on the exact route, but is around 200 baht. This may include a small snack, a soft drink, and a bottle of water, depending on which company is operating the bus. Second class buses cost less but may take longer and don't have on-board toilets.
Bangkok Eastern Bus Terminal
From Ekamai, buses leave every hour or two and go straight to Aranyaprathet, the trip takes about 5 and a half hours. The Eastern Bus Terminal (Ekamai) can be reached by the BTS skytrain to Ekamai station. An alternative strategy for connecting with Ekamai is to go via the Suvarnabhumi Airport bus terminal - see times, above.
Khao San Road
Khao San Road tourist buses are more expensive and less comfortable than government services; those to destinations in Cambodia always involve a change of vehicle at the border, and are usually full of irritating people. It is also wise to keep in mind that such private operators may have poor coverage in case of break downs, emergencies, or accidents, and passengers are less likely to receive any government assistance, retribution, or legal backing in such cases. Some expats in the region are against taking private buses that can be booked around Khao San Road.
By train
Two trains a day in each direction connect Aranyaprathet with Bangkok's Hualamphong Train Station. To Aranyaprathet (i.e. to Cambodia), trains depart at 05:55 and 13:05, arriving at 11:20 and 18:05 respectively. To Hualamphong direction (i.e. to Bangkok), trains leave at 06:40 and 13:55, arriving at 12:05 and 19:55, respectively. The fare is 48 baht; the surcharge for a bicycle is 80 baht.
WARNING: The official Thai railroad site (railway.co.th) had been a virus host for months as of Feb 2010.
All trains are 3rd-class, which means no air-con (windows open for a substantial breeze). There are toilets and sinks. Seats are a mixture of padded bench, padded bucket, and wooden bench types. If taking the afternoon train try to sit on the shady (north) side of the train (i.e. left from BKK, right to BKK). The morning sun isn't so bad and doesn't so greatly affect the morning train. The train is a great opportunity to watch people, countryside and wildlife. During the dry season, smoke and ash can blow through the windows from the burning rice fields.
Food and drink vendors work the cars, provinding cheap sustenance and refreshment. Many of the things wrapped in banana leaf are fish/chili based and peculiar to Western palettes; Khao San pad thai it ain't. If you're faint hearted, stick to the grilled chicken that can be found close to the station at either end. The thick bamboo tubes contain the imaginatively named "bamboo rice", a mildly sweet and savory sticky rice, most easily eaten with chopsticks.
The train can provide cheap, but slow and often late, connections with both Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang airports. For Suvarnabhumi, go to Lat Krabang station that abuts the airport and is directly under the planes' flight paths. Then either walk upstairs to the Airport Rail Link train which will take you to the terminal (15 baht) or take a taxi (50 baht). If you miss Lat Krabang, Tab Chang, Hua Mak, and Makkasan also connects with the Airport Rail Link
For Don Muang, you'll have to switch trains at Hualamphong.
From Poipet, Cambodia
The Cambodian town of Poipet is on the border (open 07:00; close 20:00). There is no time difference between Cambodia and Thailand.
Entering Thailand from Poipet is straightforward for travellers that do not need a visa or have obtained one in advance. Visa-free entry is for only 15 days, consider getting visa in advance if longer is requierd.
Visas on arrivals require proof of onward transport out of Thailand and a 1000 baht fee. The visa is likely to be valid for 14 days (not 15 as sometimes stated).
Many Thais cross the border in the morning on one-day trips to gamble at the casinos in Poipet. However there's a separate line for non-Thais and lines will move quickly - at least until mid-day, when tourist buses arrive.
Get around
The town is fairly small and easily covered on foot. 20 baht for a tuk-tuk ride within the town may be slightly generous. The bus terminal and the train station are close to each other and both within walking distance of the town centre. They are about 6km from the border crossing.
Songthaew (pick up trucks that act as buses) run between the Tesco Lotus hypermarket, which is out of town, and Rongkleu Market, which is at the border. They are labelled "Tesco-Lotus". A ride costs 15 Baht. They are easily picked up on the main road out of town but may also be boarded near the Cement Reservoir.
A tuk-tuk to the border should cost 50-60 baht; a motorbike taxi, about 40 baht.
Visa Scam
This is common. Any driver (other than on a songthaew) will take you to the Cambodian Consulate before immigration. Visas here are overpriced (1000 - 1300 baht vs. $20 if obtained after Thai immigration). Do not waste your time here, just say "have visa" loud and clear (even if you don't) and he will not persist in trying to scam you.
Once at the border, a group of "visa officials" with fake laminated badges will have another go at scamming you for an expensive visa.
ONLY EVER GET A CAMBODIAN VISA ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN STAMPED OUT OF THAILAND AND HAVE WALKED ACROSS THE BRIDGE TO CAMBODIA. This is simple. Do not be one of the duped.
If you're looking for breakfast in the morning, you'll find most restaurants closed, but there are fruit sellers in the market, and some convenience stores. Numerous restaurants are open in the afternoon and evening.
Real coffee can be found at Coffee Break on the road heading north from the clocktower. Free WiFi.
Aran's solitary Western-run nightspot, Farang Bar, is now closed.
Another hotel that you might want to consider is the Inter-hotel It is somewhere near a 3 star western hotel, the rooms are clean and they have a pool and the food is pretty good. The hotel is a little east of the bus terminal past the Mermaid. A suite costs about 1500 baht and a standard room is between 550 - 750 baht. All have air conditioning.
A quality option to stay in Aranyaprathet is the Indochina Hotel. It is a little outside of town, too far to walk (5 minutes Tuktuk), but has clean comfortable rooms and an inviting swimming pool surrounded by palm trees.
There are more than 6 internet cafés in the centre of (0.5 kilometre radius) Aranyaprathet. They have broadband and are reliably fast. 20baht/hour, or 40baht /3 hours.
Get out

The leaves and twigs of the yerba mate plant are dried, typically over a fire, and steeped in hot water to make an herbal tea. Yerba mate may be served cold or hot. This beverage, commonly known simply as mate, is popular in parts of South America. Like black tea, yerba mate contains caffeine, which is a stimulant.
In the U.S., yerba mate is widely available in health food stores and online. Proponents of yerba mate say that it can relieve fatigue, promote weight loss, ease depression, and help treat headaches and various other conditions. There's no definitive evidence that these claims are valid.
Yerba mate isn't likely to pose a risk for healthy adults who occasionally drink it. However, some studies indicate that people who drink large amounts of yerba mate over prolonged periods may be at increased risk of some types of cancer, such as cancer of the mouth, esophagus and lungs. Drinking very hot yerba mate — 149 F (65 C) or hotter — is associated with a higher risk of cancer than is drinking yerba mate served at cooler temperatures.
One possible explanation is that yerba mate contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are known to be carcinogenic. (Tobacco smoke and grilled meat also contain PAHs.) More investigation needs to be done into the safety and side effects of yerba mate.
If yerba mate is your cup of tea, enjoy it in moderation. But, as always, check with your doctor before trying any herbal product.

Despite taking on new employees within administrative levels, Pocono Township is paying less for its top employees than it did before the current regime took over.
Despite taking on new employees within administrative levels, Pocono Township is paying less for its top employees than it did before the current regime took over.
Salaries for top employees — including the positions occupied by township supervisors — are budgeted in 2013 at about 18 percent less than they were in 2011, according to the township's 2013 budget.
In 2011, the township was paying a total of $256,301 in salaries for the positions of secretary/treasurer, assistant secretary/treasurer, director of the Department of Public Works, township administrator, sewage enforcement officer and zoning officer.
In 2013, the township is — or will be — budgeted to spend $210,200 in salaries on those positions. That sum represents salaries only and does not include health, pension or Social Security costs.
The biggest savings come in the positions of zoning and sewage enforcement officers. The township decided to do away with the full-time positions early in 2012 and use outsiders to handle both duties.
In their final year at the township, the two positions combined to earn $110,429. The township has budgeted $20,000 this year for the department.
The township added a township administrator, Frank Froio, in 2012 and renewed for 2013 — a salary not on the books in 2011. He made $65,000 last year and is budgeted to make $70,200 this year. His salary does not include benefits.
This year, the township added an assistant secretary/treasurer to the full-time payroll. Supervisor Frank Hess held the job in 2011, with a budgeted salary of $36,000.
The township did not pay for the position last year, but this year, Supervisor Harold Werkheiser is being paid as a full-time employee in the job at $31,200.
None of the supervisors — Henry Bengel, Hess and Werkheiser — were paid on time for most of January. They all received retroactive pay once the township's Board of Auditors finally set their salaries on Jan. 28.
Werkheiser's 2013 salary isn't figured into the budget yet. Froio said it likely will be included in a supplemental budget addition in April.

This is a poem I wrote in about 30 minutes. I'm not good at writing poetry, so I thought it came out rather well all things considered.
Lights of bright neon are rushing by
The car flies past them in the sky
A future which left humanity behind
And those who cling few and hard to find
Steel men walk the streets throughout
Emotions are something they do without
The live alone in masses, selfish and cold
Humanity their mind but no longer their soul
In this car sits a man who still lives
One of the few who still knows what life is
Mocked in public, hunted in the dark
Those who hunt him still claim that they aren't
The metal men don't kill in the day
Part of them refuses to let morality slip away
But their true nature shows when the sun daily falls
And they claim to know nothing, when they know it all
A shadowy war is fought on the streets
Between those made of metal and those made of meat
Tonight he passes an alley and a silhouette
And a metallic glimmer later, his mind is all set
Tonight the robots plan to take another life
To stalk their next victim to fall under knife
One less man is one more machine
Through a process which should never have to be seen
But tonight will be different, the man proclaims
And he'll be known, no longer a man without name
The alleyways are not a safe place to be
But to this would-be quarry, the man will grant safety
Thoughts? Comments?

It's all in the...
Friday was a funny day. I woke up at my boyfriend's house to surprisingly warm weather, and surveyed the pile of mismatched, rumpled clothing that I had let accumulate on top of his hamper over the week. Faced with the possibility of rain, and the knowledge that I would be walking a lot that day, I decided it was imperative that I dress in layers.
Everything was going along swimmingly--grab a little of this, a little of that--but when it came to top it all off, I realized to my horror that the only jacket I had was my big, heavy, smothering peacoat. Unacceptable! I knew if I wore it I'd just end up having to carry it around half the day when I got overheated, but that if I didn't wear some sort of top layer I'd get cold as the day progressed.
Fortunately, I happen to be a pack rat genius. As I was pawing desperately through the hallway coat rack, I came across this tweedy blazer I'd bought at some stoop sale months ago and left (I'd like to say with clairvoyant fore-sight, but probably just brash carelessness) hanging safely between the wooley Pendeltons and duffel coats.
In the end, I rather liked the results of all this forced creativity: a mix of prints, textures and materials that had me, finally, ready to face the day!

I have that same jacket. Same tweedy thing, same buttons, same fake pockets. It was a favourite of mine when I bought it in 2004, but I forgot it somehow until I found it under tons of other clothes the other day. I wish I could wear it with your style, though :). You look lovely :).

Looking for a new way to cook Brussels Sprouts? This savory-sweet Brussels Sprouts recipe combines bacon, apples and almonds to shredded Brussels Sprouts to transform the vegetable into a deliciously new side dish.
- 1/4 pound of bacon
- 2 Tbls bacon grease or butter
- 2 Tbls Apple juice or Applesauce
- 1 pound shredded Brussels Sprouts
- 1/2 cup of dried apples
- 1/2 cup of slivered almonds
- 1/4 cup of Sweet-and-Sour Salad Dressing (Poppyseed also works well)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fry bacon to desired crispness, crumble and set aside.
- Wash Brussels sprouts and shred them (like coleslaw) and set aside.
- Take 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease or butter and add 2 tablespoons of Apple Juice and saute the Brussels sprouts until tender. Add your preferred amount of salt and pepper.
- Add 1/2 cup of dried apples and saute for another 5 minutes (so apples take on a little of the moisture from the sprouts).
- Remove from heat and add 1/2 cup slivered almonds and salad dressing – toss to coat well. You can also top the sprouts with fresh scallions, diced red onions or even french fried onions for an extra kick. You will never look at Brussels sprouts the same way ever again.

Bethenny Frankel vs Rachel Zoe
"Real Housewives of New York City" star Bethenny Frankel had a Twitter tiff in 2009 with celebrity stylist and reality show personality Rachel Zoe. It started when the Housewife tweeted of her one-time friend, "Wondering if I'm the only one who can't get over the self-important nonsense that is Rachel Zoe." Zoe shot back at Frankel on Twitter, "wow talk abt no class bn friends 4yrs rude. she is inappropriate and clearly desperate for some attention." A collective yawn ensued.

SHU's Swanson earns 400th career victory
FAIRFIELD -- Kiley Evans lit up the scoreboard Tuesday night with 21 points as the Sacred Heart women's basketball team earned coach Ed Swanson his 400th career victory by defeating Fairleigh Dickinson 80-48 at the William H. Pitt Center.
The Pioneers are now on a seven-game win streak, making them 16-7 overall and 8-3 in conference.
Evans was one of three Pioneers in double-digit scoring. Gabrielle Washington had 14 points, while Morgan Merriman added 10.
The Pioneers opened with a six points before allowing Fairleigh Dickinson a bucket. With SHU up 10-4, the Knights kicked off a seven-point run to take their first lead 11-10.
With the score knotted at 16, Evans hit a jumper, starting the Pioneers' six-point run to give SHU a lead it would never relinquish, 22-16, with six minutes left in the first half.
The Knights remained close, but with Sacred Heart up by four with a little over three minutes in the half, Evans, who had 13 points in the first half, made a layup to start Sacred Heart on an 11-1 run that sent the Pioneers into halftime with a 37-23 lead.
The Pioneers continued to dominate in the second half, taking a 38-point lead with 3:50 left in the game on a Blair Koniszewski 3-pointer.

Here I show you the man behind the camera: my boyfriend. He wears my christmas present: a cardigan made of piqu-jersey.
About the pattern: My boyfriend is really tall and needs long-sizes. I took his messures from an old cardigan and transfered it onto the burda style pattern. I took size 44 and added 7cm for the length at the body and 4cm at the sleeves (I also added 1,5cm seam allowance). I changed also the front genuine buttonhole placket a little bit and the hem (I didn't use the ribbed Knit).
Now I'm working on the same pattern but with the Prada fabric we bought in Berlin. The next two weeks will be very stressful at work, but I hope I find time to sew.

From the Wall Street Journal Blog "Real Time Economics"
By Brenda Cronin
May 23, 2014
Recent hand-wringing about income inequality has focused on the gap between the top 1% and everyone else. A new paper argues that the more telling inequities exist among the 99%, primarily driven by education.
"The single-minded focus on the top 1% can be counterproductive given that the changes to the other 99% have been more economically significant," says David Autor, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology economist and author of the study.
His paper, "Skills, Education and the Rise of Earnings Inequality Among the 'Other 99 Percent'," comes as something of riposte to French economist Thomas Piketty, whose bestselling "Capital in the 21st Century" has ignited sales and conversation around the world with its historical look at the fortunes of the top 1%.
Mr. Autor estimates that since the early 1980s, the earnings gap between workers with a high school degree and those with a college education has become four times greater than the shift in income during the same period to the very top from the 99%.
Between 1979 and 2012, the gap in median annual earnings between households of high-school educated workers and households with college-educated ones expanded from $30,298 to $58,249, or by roughly $28,000, Mr. Autor says. During the same period, he argues, 99% of households would have gained about $7,000 each, had they realized the amount of income that shifted during that time to the top 1%.
The income gap among the 99%, he says, is due to rising earnings of college-educated workers as well as declining real earnings of workers with high-school degrees.
Two "destructive" points that Mr. Autor tries to skewer with his most recent work are the idea that prospects are dim for all but the financial elite—and the notion that too many students are giving rise to a "college bubble."
Just because an individual isn't among the 1% or "hooked into the plutocracy," Mr. Autor said, he or she can have improved earnings prospects by securing education and skills. And while tuition may be a big commitment, the "education premium"—which has plateaued in the past few years after surging for three decades—remains at a very high level.
Mr. Autor cites research by Christopher Avery and Sarah Turner illustrating education's rising influence on lifetime earnings. Over a 42-year career, male college graduates take in almost $600,000 more than men who stopped their education after high-school. Among women, the difference is $370,000. Both gaps widened during the past 50 years, from $213,000 for men and $129,000 for women in 1965.
