Dana Flahr Blogs from Haines
It has snowed somewhere between 8 and 12 feet in April so far in Haines. It's been a little extra challenging getting shots so far, because of the lack of flyable days, the amount of new snow, and the necessity of being patient in rowdy mountain range. However we have been out a day or two to shake the cob webs off our ski legs, and are starting to build some momentum.
We are staying positive too, and the opportunity to be with this dream team is motivation alone. Each rider brings amazing talent to the table. Seth's years of big mountain experience and lack of fear for jumping right into the AK gnar, Tanners video game-like skiing skills and balance on his skis like he was born with them, and Sage's unique and confident approach to rip anything AK has to offer him. This is a truly insane posse to be with, and when mother nature feels as though we are ready enough to get out amongst it, I have a feeling there will be some magic flying around.
Hopefully we will get into the mountains some more in the near future to continue our mission…

Posturing Over Islands Could Mean China, Japan Showdown
History could repeat itself in a grim showdown.
China and Japan's aerial posturing on Thursday comes amid turbulence in almost all major Asian powers.
Japan faces an election on Sunday, in which the incumbent will likely lose to an opponent known for hawkish language toward China. A new Chinese government assembled behind closed doors still seeks to assert its regional power employing a traditionally complicated relationship with its own military establishment.
[Read: As World Powers Focus on Asia, China Sits at a Crossroads]
These most recent maneuvers come days after North Korea successfully caught the world's attention with a ballistic missile launch shortly before their neighbors to the south conduct their own elections.
Continued disputes between Japan and China will likely continue, though a chance of escalation could usher dangerous consequences.
"One thing I've learned about China: They are never happy. You can never make the Chinese happy," says Thomas Snitch, an Asian conflict expert. "Who knows what the internal dynamic is going on in China after this recent change in party."
Snitch has previously held senior roles at the National Academy of Sciences and U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency."The Japanese get annoyed because they're living next to this '800-pound gorilla' that just occasionally throws their weight around," he says. "There's not much they can do except swat back at it. I guess that's what scrambling some F-15s will do."
[Opinion: Talk of a U.S.-Asia 'Pivot' Is Overblown]
Japan deployed the fighters after a Chinese surveillance propeller plane flew over a chain of islands both countries claim as theirs.
This follows months of non-violent engagements between the two militaries as China transitions its domestic forces into a regional power. Japan's military has been limited to self-defense since World War II, but it recently began exporting military aid to its neighbors.
This most recent incident mirrors the usual provocation and response between the two countries, but that could change.
"The biggest risk here is the possibility of an accident," a U.S. Navy officer tells U.S. News. "Putting several aircraft in the same space at the same time increases the likelihood of a collision."
[Study: U.S. at 'Low' Risk of Terror Attack]
"Scrambling eight fighters was a little aggressive on Japan's part," says the officer, who served in the region on the 7th Fleet commander's staff.
In 2001, a U.S. Navy EP-3 intelligence aircraft collided mid-air with a Chinese fighter jet killing the Chinese pilot. It led to an international dispute between the two nations often referred to as "The Hainan Island incident." Diplomatic restraint from both sides avoided escalation. The possibility for a repeat accident between China and Japan remains, as the countries use different languages for aerial maneuvers, says the officer, adding Japanese radar often doesn't pick up small Chinese planes like the Y-8 Chinese marine surveillance plane.
"There is very little potential for deliberate armed engagement by either side," the officer says. "We would obviously be involved in such an incident, urging restraint by both sides and working diplomatic back-channels. We have no interest in seeing this escalate."
Snitch adds of the potential for a deliberate Japanese offensive response: "What would that be?"
Support for Shinzo Abe and his Liberal Democratic Party is largely fueled by country-wide disapproval of the current prime minister. It is comparable to the 2008 election in the United States, when Barack Obama won on a sentiment of "anyone but [President George W.] Bush," says Snitch.
"While I'm sure they're agitated about what China's doing, there is an ethos in Japan that still has the remnants of World War II and that whole anti-military establishment," he says.
Even if a newly elected Japanese prime minister wanted to ramp up military operations, he would be restricted by wavering public opinion as well as Article IX of the country's constitution, which prohibits an act of war by Japan.
China, in turn, also has to balance its desires to shore up regional resources against opposition from Japan, which can muster an international coalition.

Last night's Amherst Town Board meeting put to rest any doubts about whether the controversial Hyatt Place hotel would remain a central part of the race for Amherst supervisor.
As today's story notes, both candidates sparred about their roles in the project, each accusing the other of flip-flopping or being on the wrong side of the debate.
Council Member Mark A. Manna also this morning wrote a letter to the editor challenging a previous letter written by Supervisor Barry A. Weinstein.
Anyone who thinks this issue is somehow being overblown clearly isn't talking to people out on the streets of Amherst.
I got a call from a resident this morning who said she has been captivated by the debate over the two hotel projects even though she has no direct stake in either of them.
The reader said this issue is putting both candidates on the hot seat -- and perhaps revealing more about them -- in a way that past Amherst races did not.
"In the past, we would just hear a nice speech and decide to vote for somebody," the resident said. "But now, there are real issues here."

The blosics games are puzzle games, where you shoot balls at blocks, which are atop a platform. You need to just get the blocks to drop out from the screen. Notice, that each ball you shoot consumes your points and to pass each level you need to earn a certain amount of points. This means that you need to use the minimum possible amount of shots as you can.

Obama Must Maintain Strong U.S. Presence in Afghanistan
Tthe United States must retain enough force in Afghanistan to allow the country to conduct a counter-terrorist campaign against remaining extremist and militant groups.
Evan Moore is a Senior Policy Analyst for the Foreign Policy Initiative
President Obama's policies on Afghanistan since the 2009 troop surge have become increasingly disappointing—and deeply frustrating—for those who hope that that country never again becomes a safe haven for al Qaeda and other terrorist groups.
First, although the president authorized a surge of roughly 30,000 U.S. troops in late 2009, it was still 10,000 fewer than General Stanley McChrystal, then-commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, had wanted for his campaign to reverse the Taliban's control over large swaths of the nation's countryside. Then, the Obama administration began a drawdown—in the middle of the 2011 fighting season, no less—from the surge-level peak of 100,000 soldiers and Marines to the present level of 66,000. This premature troop withdrawal placed at risk the hard-fought gains in the southern Helmand and Kandahar provinces, and curtailed America's capability to defeat the extremist groups in the country's east.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Afghanistan.]
Now, ahead of Afghan President Hamid Karzai's visit to Washington, D.C., this week, recent news reports suggest that the Obama administration is contemplating even more troop reductions from Afghanistan. These aggressive cuts represent a rush for the exits— not a gradual, conditions-based, and responsible drawdown. If the president decides to go down this road of precipitous withdrawal, then everything that the U.S. and allied troops have fought in Afghanistan for since 2001—the effort against al Qaeda, the fight for minority and women's rights, and building a functional and democratic Afghan government—will be put at extreme risk, and may very well be for naught.
The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday that the Obama administration may slash the current 66,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan by more than half over the next sixteen months. But with extremist groups still operating in eastern Afghanistan and the security gains in the country's south still tenuous, hasty U.S. troop reductions of that magnitude would dramatically curtail the coalition's ability to effectively fight the Taliban. Moreover, such a massive drawdown would fundamentally undermine efforts in the near term to train and enable truly capable Afghan security forces. While the Afghan army and police are increasingly capable and reliable, they cannot function without U.S. logistical support, and will not be able to do so for years to come.
[See a collection of political cartoons on defense spending.]
Ensuring success in Afghanistan in the near term requires maintaining present levels of U.S. forces through the end of the 2014 fighting season. Early in the war, the United States did not make an effort to control Afghanistan's territory or protect its population. This allowed the Taliban to reorganize itself after their defeat in 2001, and reclaim vast swaths of the countryside. In 2009, when the security situation became truly bleak, President Obama provided enough resources for the United States to set the Taliban back on its heels at least in their former southern strongholds. The insurgents were not strategically defeated in the east, however. An irresponsible and hastened drawdown of U.S. troops before 2014 will ensure that they never will be.
Over the long term, the White House is said to favor a minimal military footprint in Afghanistan of 3,000-to-9,000 troops after 2014. These troop levels, which would reduce America's role to limited counterterrorism missions with Special Operations forces, are even lower than the minimum option for post-2014 that General John Allen, the outgoing commander of U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan, recommended to President Obama last week.
Afghanistan experts believe that much higher troop levels are needed after 2014 than are being currently contemplated by the Obama administration. The American Enterprise Institute's Fred Kagan and the Institute for the Study of War's Kim Kagan argue that even a minimal counterterrorism mission will require at least 15,000 troops to conduct and enable operations. But if the United States also hopes to continue the vital mission of training the Afghan National Security Forces, then the Institute for the Study of War's Jeffrey Dressler and Lieutenant General James M. Dubik (ret.) conclude that 24,000-to 31,000 troops are required.
After the 2014 transition to Afghanistan leading the responsibility for the country's security, the United States must retain a force sufficient to allow it to conduct a counterterrorist campaign against remaining extremist and militant groups, and to fully enable the Afghan forces to operate on their own. A follow-on force that is a tenth of what is needed is wholly insufficient, as will be any U.S. force that must suffer further politically-minded reductions over the next two years.

What (D&D/D20) adventures would/will you run for Halloween?
I notice our game day falls on Halloween this year... which has me considering whether we should do something special. I've never been a fan of pulling out a horror game like Call of Cthulhu just for Halloween. It did get me thinking what I might run, though.
So, does anyone have any current favorites or upcoming plans that involve running special horror-themed adventures for some flavor of D&D or D20? Is it published, or something of your own?
I'm thinking of running Cage of Delirium (DCC 34, complete with soundtrack by Midnight Syndicate) by my group.The Secret Volcano Base - My gaming blog, currently featuring Freeport & Fantasy Craft

Coincidentally, I'll be running something then. . . does that count? I mean, we don't have Halloween proper, maybe a token party some years, that kind of thing. . .
Also, it'll be one of the Bleeding Edge adventures - would they count as horror-ish? One or two appear to, on the face of it. Also, could anyone who's familiar with them spare maybe one post to let me know which ones are really good? If that's not a derailing or something.
If that's not appropriate for the thread, I'll delete that request (and this paragraph) and start one for the purpose.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to GMing some D&D again. And if it turns out to be horror-fantasy, I'm definitely down with that.

Good call though. I might consider those as well.
Mansion of Shadows is certainly creepy enough.One or two appear to, on the face of it. Also, could anyone who's familiar with them spare maybe one post to let me know which ones are really good? If that's not a derailing or something.
I ran and liked Temple of the Death Goddess, though. It might be a bit frustrating for clerics who actually use their turn ability to turn, and an early Troll encounter is a bit rough, but the concept is sort of cool.

I try to run Ravenloft (I6) every year. This year I am not running it and the guy who is has also adapted material from "Expedition to Ravenloft" to our game. So starting tonight, and going until Strahd drains us of our blood, we will be playing Ravenloft with parts of Expedition thrown in.
Its been over 18 years since I have tried to survive Ravenloft.
It is the spirit of the game, not the letter of the rules, which is important. NEVER hold to the letter written, nor allow some barracks room lawyer to force quotations from the rule book upon you, IF it goes against the obvious intent of the game. As you hew the line with respect to conformity to major systems and uniformity of play in general, also be certain the game is mastered by you and not by your players. Within the broad parameters give in the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Volumes, YOU are creator and final arbiter. By ordering things as they should be, the game as a WHOLE first, your CAMPAIGN next, and your participants thereafter, you will be playing Advanced Dungeons and Dragons as it was meant to be. May you find as much pleasure in so doing as the rest of us do.

I may not be able to have my game going again by, or on, Halloween. It may run a little after Halloween, but I was going to run a sidetrek based on the Zhent Headless Horseman article from WoTC.

Individuals Support the Annual Fund
It takes a cast of thousands to sustain our historic not-for-profit Center and to keep the arts alive and vibrant in Hartford. To many, it seems that the ticket revenue from the Broadway shows we present should, alone, be more than enough to cover our operating expenses. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Ticket revenue and other earned income only covers 48% of our operating budget. The remaining 52% comes from generous donors like you. Without your annual support, The Bushnell would not exist, and could not bring the wonderful world of Broadway to your doorstep each season.
Make a Wise Investment
We are proud to once again receive a four-star rating from Charity Navigator, America's premier independent not-for-profit charity rating organization. The four-star rating is the highest that Charity Navigator assigns to the not-for-profit groups they assess, and it illustrates our ability to effectively manage and grow our finances, indicating that we execute our mission in a fiscally responsible way. The Bushnell was the only performing arts organization in Connecticut to receive this prestigious four-star rating.
Please consider joining or renewing your support of The Bushnell's Annual Fund by making a tax-deductible gift today.
What's so Amazing About the Annual Fund?
Whether it's the preferred seating, opportunities for backstage tours, or advance notice of Broadway shows, your Bushnell Annual Fund membership makes you an essential part of one of America's most prestigious not-for-profit performing arts centers. Whether you join at the $100 level, the $15,000 level, or somewhere in between—you'll stand side-by-side with friends and neighbors who value the arts and support our mission-based arts-in-education and community outreach programs.
Benefit Highlights
The benefits of a Bushnell membership are significant. Following, are a few highlighted benefits that many donors particularly enjoy. For a comprehensive list of donor levels and benefits, refer to The Horace Bushnell Society and The Bushnell Center Membership sections below.
Load-in and Lunch
Feast on a gourmet boxed lunch while enjoying an insider's look behind a current production at The Bushnell! Load-in and Lunch offers the chance to learn more about a show (typically from our Broadway Series) and to participate in a conversation with select individuals involved with the production.

A breach in Israel's wall of impunity: Goldstone's effect
by MainStreet, Thu Oct 22, 2009 at 08:55:08 AM EDT
Hasan Abu Nimah is the former permanent representative of Jordan at the United Nations. This essay first appeared in The Jordan Times, and gives us some idea as to how the Goldstone Report is playing out one of Israel's Arab friends, Jordan. Not for long, given this essay by its UN representative.
"Israel's efforts to malign the reputation of Judge Richard Goldstone have failed to bury the UN inquiry he led. (Jean-Marc Ferre/UN Photo)" This statement is a caption to a photo of Judge Goldstone.

Max Scherzer pitched in the game that got the Detroit Tigers to the World Series, defeating the New York Yankees to end the American League Championship Series. Sunday, he'll pitch to keep his team from getting swept away in the Fall Classic.
(For instant news updates follow Patch on Facebook and Twitter.)
The San Francisco Giants kept up their postseason push with a 2-0 win Saturday night to take a 3-0 lead in the series. Scherzer, the Parkway Central graduate will face Matt Cain.
"I absolutely relish it," Scherzer told The Washington Post.
In a media briefing prior to Sunday's start, who died in June, was a topic of conversation.
"Life goes on no matter what happens," The Tampa Bay Times quoted Scherzer. "And the sun always comes up, so you better have a positive outlook on life, and a positive outlook on what to do with your life. So for me, right now, playing baseball puts a smile on everybody's face."
On the lighter side of things, Scherzer's run in the postseason has also brought recognition for his eyes, which are different colors. The blog Big League Stew points out that he shares the distinction with Mila Kunis, among others.
Game 4 can be seen Sunday at 7 p.m. on FOX.

NORMAN — Some of the hype over this weekend's Super Bowl will descend into the origins of the two teams and their states' decision to allow recreational marijuana use.
Some have referred to the game as the "Stoner Bowl" in honor of Washington and Colorado's loosening of marijuana laws.
Don't look for similar drug policy changes in Oklahoma. Sen. Connie Johnson, D-Oklahoma City, has once again sponsored legislation that would regulate and tax marijuana like alcohol.
Senate Bill 2116 would make the personal use, possession and limited home-cultivation of marijuana legal for adults 21 years of age and older.
The Senate Appropriations Committee on Select Agencies will have a hearing Feb. 12 to discuss the science of medical marijuana. Johnson formerly sponsored medical marijuana bills that never got a hearing.
State drug agencies have said they will fight any attempt to legalize marijuana use, medical or otherwise. A poll sponsored by Oklahoma NORML says 71 percent of Sooners favor amending state laws to allow for physician-authorized patients to consume cannabis for therapeutic purposes.
Twenty states and the District of Columbia have laws allowing medical use of marijuana. Colorado and Washington have eliminated criminal and civil penalties for possessing small quantities of marijuana by adults.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - An annual report on Metro Charter schools was released Wednesday night during a special meeting and reception.
The Tennessee Charter School Incubator released its complete report on the status of Charter schools in Nashville. As in past years, the study showed that both Nashville Prep and Liberty Collegiate outperformed other schools in the Metro.
"They have high expectations of students. They hold kids accountable to those expectations and they do whatever it takes to help them meet them," said Rebecca Lieberman who works for the Tennessee Charter School Incubator.
The Metro School board has been in a difficult position with Charter schools since their denial to approve Great Hearts Academy's move to West Nashville.
But officials from the TCSI said that shouldn't prevent the city from moving forward with other new charter schools.
"When we see Nashville Prep and we see Liberty Collegiate getting results for kids it is inspiring and it is frustrating because it's happening. So why can't it happen more broadly?" she added.
Metro Nashville Public schools plans on opening three new charter schools next year that will serve some 1,000 students.
"I don't think necessarily ever school needs to be a charter school but certainly we need more," said Mayor Dean who was also at the event.
Wednesday's meeting also honored founding board members of Nashville Prep, Liberty Collegiate Academy, Intrepid College Prep, Nashville Classical and Purpose Preparatory Academy.

Empowerment, boldness and sexiness.
Playboy.com: What makes you feel sexiest?
Being in lingerie or just being completely naked. For some reason that is empowering and makes me feel completely sexy.
Playboy.com: Describe yourself in one word.
Playboy.com: What's the best adventure you've been on lately?
Coming to L.A., because I came two weeks ago. They told me about my shoot three days before, so I flew out last minute.
Playboy.com: How did you end up modeling for Playboy.com?
I sent photos to a Playboy.com photographer — I've been a fan of his since he was 19 — and he sent them over to the casting director.
Playboy.com: What type of music do you listen to while doing a photo shoot?
R&B or techno because it loosens me up and takes off the pressure.
Playboy.com: What's on your nightstand?
My iPad, books and lotion.
Playboy.com: What was your favorite part of your Playboy.com photo shoot?
The people; they just made me feel so comfortable and were amazing to work with.
Playboy.com: What is your favorite physical attribute?
My boobs…and my smile, too, I think that catches people. It's a toss-up between the two.
Playboy.com: What is your favorite cologne on a man?
Dolce and Gabbana, The One.
Playboy.com: What are you doing with your free time?
I just finished my semester at school; I'm taking the summer off and I'm moving right now. I have lots going on. When I'm not modeling I'm usually home doing homework and traveling when I find the time.
Playboy.com: What are you taking in school?
I'm working toward a science major; I want to be a PA — a physician's assistant — in pediatrics.
Playboy.com: What is your idea of a perfect date?
I'm simple and down to earth, so I'm really happy with dinner and a movie or going for a walk, something like that. I'm not super high maintenance.
Playboy.com: What is the TV show you're most embarrassed to watch?
SpongeBob. It's the only show my son wants to watch so I end up watching it all the time.
Playboy.com: What are your best and worst character traits?
Best is that I'm really fun and caring, and my worst is that sometimes I get really nervous and anxious.
Playboy.com: What do you find most attractive in a man?
Confidence and fun.
Playboy.com: What qualities do you admire most in other women?
Sincerity and realness. The first day of my shoot there was another model there named Vanessa Robbins and she was the sweetest, kindest girl ever and I was kind of nervous because models aren't always nice and approachable.
Playboy.com: How old are you?
I'm 23.
Playboy.com: If you could commit one crime and get away with it, what would it be?
Maybe streaking? I've always wanted to try it, but I don't want to get arrested.
Playboy.com: What's the most important thing that you learned in the last year?
Who I am. I'm in that self-discovery stage — I'm not a whole lot older, but the older I get, the more I recognize what I want and what's important to me.
Playboy.com: What is your biggest turn-on?
Cologne, actually.
Playboy.com: What is your signature scent?
Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf.
Playboy.com: Do you have any secret talents?
I used to be a go-go dancer.
Playboy.com: Have people been supportive of you posing for Playboy.com?
Yes, my family has been really supportive. I wasn't sure how they were going to take it, but everyone I've encountered was very supportive and couldn't be more excited for me.
Playboy.com: What are your goals for this year?
School is always a goal of mine. I'm working toward my BA; I still have a year to go. I also want to be a Playmate, which is a long-term goal.

At best, the NHL season will be postponed. At worst, the league could lose another season as team owners and the union sort out who gets the bigger piece of the revenue pie.
Caught in the middle is Aeros center Mikael Granlund.
The 20-year-old was a lock to make the Minnesota Wild roster this season after being drafted in the first round two years ago. But he and other top NHL prospects have entry-level contracts that allow them to move between the NHL and AHL without waivers.
All the rest is right here

Why not form a message board forum regarding list addresses or e-mails to connect with or send fan-mail to horror celebrities? When looking for specific places on the net to find fan-mail addresses, this can be a long and tedious task. I think it would be much better to start our own forum, where everyone can contribute what knowledge they have collected, so that we can send fan mail and possibly get some celebrities to check out or visit our site, if not respond to some interesting questions and get some more interview material for Fearnet's News section.
Just a thought.

Welcome to the Patch's first official small business advice column where you, the small business person asks me, the marketing professional, your most pressing questions about how to get your company exposure (not the kind that will get you arrested), lead generation, traffic to your website, all you'd ever want to know about online marketing, Search Engine Optimization, best use of your marketing dollars and whatever else might cross your minds in the business growth arena. No dating questions here or how to handle your out of control toddler, just the business facts, ma'am.
Laura Cruger from asks: Can you give 3 of your "Top Tips to help drive traffic to your website. In your years of experience and knowledge, if you had to say — if you do nothing else, do this, what would "this" be?
Richard Monestero from piggy backs Laura's question asking "What would you say is the most efficient way of marketing on the Internet?"
Laura and Richard,
Great questions for just out of the gate. As much as we are surely still in a tough economic climate, here is the good news: the beauty of marketing today is that the small business person can do so much more for so much less. With the advent of the Internet we are no longer slave to the huge ad budget that we have traditionally thrown dollars at and hoped for the best.
Don Draper would be rolling over in his grave if he was trying to run his agency with his old school 1950s methods. And he'd lose his clients to boot. With the growth of the Internet we also now have infinite creative and effective possibilities of how and where to spend our money, with many of these choices at our fingertips. And this is only the beginning.
Top 3 tips for driving traffic to your website, from my standpoint would be:
- Content, content, content. Valuable content. First and foremost. There are many realtors out there, Laura, as you know. What sets you apart from the crowd and will make them flock to your website rather than to your colleague's? Making your website a hub of valuable information that folks want to come to because you are offering them great info, and thereby gaining their trust and respect. Tip of the day that they can subscribe to, a blog (both of which should be set up to capture email addresses), a free report, a weekly video, a resource page, a complimentary power CMA, etc., all made readily available on your website at the click of a button. You want to go above and beyond what your colleagues are offering, and expect nothing in return. You're earning trust. That's how people will take notice of you.
- That's all well and good, but how will your potential clients know of your fabulous website? You must get the word out: inbound links from directories and business affiliates. Where are potential home buyers/sellers going online? Attorney sites, mortgage sites, moving company sites, etc. Think like a buyer/seller and be there, where they are going. Market your blog on the social media sites… every single week, and offer valuable info and offer specials, one-time offers, etc, to get folks over to your site. Use keywords (words that your potential clients would plug into a search engine) that will be picked up by the search engines to help rank your site higher and be more visible.
- Smart SEO on the back end of your site to help get your website visible. There are technical tactics that can be done on the back end of your websites such as meta tagging, alt tags on images, back linking, tagging, xml sitemaps, optimized page titles, etc. that will help your site be noticed.
There is no one technique that will help get traffic to your site unless you choose to spend a lot of money on a pay-per-click campaign, but even that will only serve to drive traffic to your website. It won't hold 'em there. That is your job.
An effective online marketing plan will incorporate many facets and will take time. But the payoff is worth it. Isn't it better having folks come to you, rather than you chasing down clients? It can happen with a great online marketing plan that encourages engagement.
So go get 'em. Get Found, Get Heard, Get Crackin'

McALESTER — Twice yearly, the Hartshorne Friends of the Library hosts a book fair to raise money for the library's Summer Reading Program and other special activities.
The Friends' spring fund-raiser kicked off Thursday with its semi-annual book sale, which will continue from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Friday and from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Saturday.
Inside the library are rows of books offered for the sale, running the gamut of literary genres, and including popular and historical books as well. Friends of the Library Vice President Jim Kurilko led the effort to compile the books into categories, ranging from fiction and non-fiction, to self-help and children's books.
Last year, a number of children and teens benefited from the Summer Reading Program at the library. Hartshorne Assistant Librarian Cindy Bedford said 363 children and 57 teens registered for the program last summer. "They read over 2,000 books," she said.
Among the first — and biggest customers — for the Friends of the Library Book Sale on Thursday were sisters Brenda Painter, of McAlester, and Sue Anthony, of Bugtussle, who drove to Hartshorne for the opening day.
"We were shopping in Tulsa yesterday and we worked this up," Painter said, relating how they decided to come together to the Hartshorne event. It's become an annual outing for Painter. "She comes every year," Anthony said of her sister.
The two were buying books not only for themselves, but for others as well. Anthony said she bought four boxes of books, while her sister bought three. "I read pretty well anything and I bought westerns for my dad," Anthony said. Painter said she bought some books for her mom, while she herself reads "anything but westerns."
Friends of the Library Chairman Virginia Barlow and FOL Treasurer Shirley McBee had a station set up outside the door leading to the book sale, where they checked out patrons with their purchases. The two were glad to help. "The summer reading program in this library is fantastic," Barlow said.

Dave, this is pretty easy. I've got degrees in the field, and you obviously don't. Where the lies are coming from is pretty obvious to anyone that has an actual science background. Posting a bunch of internet sources as if they constitute reliable sources of information is what is laughable. Anyone with a proper background sees right through the gimmickry.
I repeat: the science of greenhouse effect has been established for decades now. You probably should read up on what has been established since long before this ever became a political debate. Like the absorption spectra of organic compounds and the chemical properties that give rise to them. Or the heat radiation spectra of objects as determined by temperature and the equations that govern them. And then the simple fact that atmospheric CO2 levels have risen 30% without any scientifically plausible explanation outside of the obvious, scientifically established man-made causes. All irrefutable concepts thar are immune to your senseless political blathering.
Then, if you had any science background at all, you might check on your own time the relative temperatures of assorted planets and moons throughout the solar system, and compare then to what has been established for decades in regards to greenhouse effect. In no time at all, any objective mind would quickly come to the exact conclusions I and 95+% of the scientific community has, and agree with the finding that the Earth IS warming, and that the overwhelmingly predominant affector is increasing CO2 levels due to human influence. All the distraction tools being employed by big oil is just that: distraction.

Weatherford Democrat
— By BRIAN SMITH
More than 100 people came out to give their opinion on what Weatherford's downtown should look like during a meeting Tuesday night at the Cotten-Bratton Building.
The nearly three-hour vision meeting and planning session had three objectives: identifying important issues and opportunities, describing vision for downtown and taking steps to create the future. Planner Karen Walls, who has worked with Richardson, Denton and Fredericksburg downtown areas, said the only way to make an area better is to have people with several different backgrounds weigh in.
"One department or community member can't do this," Walls said. "We need shop owners, city and county officials and the general public to take part."
City staff, along with members of the Historic Preservation Committee and the newly formed Downtown Weatherford subcommittee had met three weeks ago in a brainstorming session to come up with ideas for the community to weigh in on.
Director of Planning and Development Craig Farmer said the city has a great downtown, brought about by the revitalization of the city's Main Street Program four years ago. Main Street and Special Events Manager Kim Thieme said bringing the downtown back from "ground zero" involved working with the Chamber of Commerce and hosting quarterly festivals to bring people into the downtown square.
A list of ideas to better downtown was provided to those that took part, who were encouraged to submit their own ideas as part of a team concept. Some of those included:
• Allowing upstairs living in downtown businesses.
• Having a clear definition of what a downtown should be.
• Having live entertainment and keeping businesses open after hours and on weekends.
• Creating a tourism position and offering a website strictly for city events.
• Offering tax incentives for downtown businesses and having the city become more business friendly.
After the team exercise, individuals were allowed to use electronic voting devices to give their opinions on what makes for a great downtown. Most of the people who attended said they were over the age of 40 and had lived and worked in the city for more than 20 years. Many of the ideas provided such as having a pedestrian friendly downtown, having parking and restrooms in the area and reducing the amount of truck traffic coming through the area was considered "very important" to those there.
Having people living downtown drew mixed reactions but the creation of a downtown association or convention and visitors bureau was also thought of highly.
After looking at several visions of downtown, participants were asked what things needed to be done right away. Those included creating an action plan, reducing the impact of truck traffic through downtown and developing financial incentives for businesses to come downtown.
What was perhaps a positive sign was that 86 percent of those voting said they would be willing to stay involved with the downtown project.
Walls said she will take the information provided and provide an analysis, which should be given to the city within the next two weeks. Copies of the analysis report will then be made available by the Planning Department, Farmer said.

Rather than using all of that oil, I just sauteed my sliced plantains in a few tablespoons of melted butter until they were slightly browned/carmelized on both sides. Worked great. SO good! Love plantains! Thanks, Donna!
It is very important to use very ripe plantains for this one. These aren't tostones (fried green plantains). These are called "amarillos". Heather's picture adequately demonstrates this recipe, the other picture is showing fried green plantains, they are different. Amarillos turn out sweet, not crunchy and darker in color when compared to green. I like to use plantains with yellow and black skins or all black. You can eat them by themselves or sometimes I like to sprinkle grated parmesan on top.
My husband makes these, we all love them. You didn't mention that if they are green they need to be fried twice, flatten in the middle of cooking. Good with garlic & salt. We also slice them in circles. When very over ripe the sugars come out and caramelize. Great for breakfast.

The Appellate Division of State Supreme Court has upheld a lower court decision allowing the authorization of two non-Democratic County Legislature candidates to run on the Democratic line on election ballots this November following the claim of a missed filing deadline.
Erie County Democratic Chairman Jeremy J. Zellner announced the appellate ruling, saying it is a win victory for the party in the controversy.
"The Democratic Party believes that voters deserve a choice at the ballot box and we are committed to preservng the pubic's right to fair and open elections," he said.
Republican Elections Commissioner Ralph M. Mohr filed the appeal of an August decision by State Supreme Court Justice Henry J. Nowak dismissing the GOP lawsuit that sought invalidation of the legislative candidacies of William C. Conrad III against Republican incumbent Kevin R. Hardwick in District 4, and of Alan K. Getter against Republican incumbent Edward A. Rath III in District 6. The case also involves 16 candidates on the town level.
Republicans claimed the Democrats had failed to postmark their authorizations allowing candidates registered with another party to run on their line by the July 15 deadline, while Democrats submitted a Postal Service affidavit pointing to post office error as the reason.
Nowak ruled that a "timely mailing can be demonstrated absent a timely postmark."

Updated 8:36 a.m., Aug 4.
The Atlanta Falcons continued their popular annual "Friday Night Lights" scrimmage series at Peachtree Ridge High School in Gwinnett County on Friday, Aug. 3. The event is an extension of the Falcons preseason training camp, and 2012 marked the fifth consecutive year the Falcons have given their fans an up-close look of the team at a high school venue in Gwinnett County.
Previous scrimmages were held at Norcross High in 2011, North Gwinnett High in 2010, Brookwood High School in 2009 and Mill Creek High in 2008.
-- Have you attended a Friday Night Lights scrimmage in Gwinnett? Tell us in the comments below.
As with past years, the event was free to the public and included a small fan fest with inflatable games, sponsor booths, food, music, and autograph sessions. It was set up to as a festive atmosphere for fans to have an enjoyable night while getting a preview of their Falcons team.
Cookiee Obligacion, from Lawrenceville, was certainly ready. She said she wanted to see an "explosion of enthusiasm" from both the fans and the players this season. On Twitter, @Atlanta_Falcons created conversation and gave fans an extra bit of digital candy using the hashtag #fnl12 (friday night lights 2012).
On the field, the football was more technical and situational than a traditional scrimmage. It followed a scripted sequence of warm-ups, drills, situational plays, and a short scrimmage. To help fans with analysis and to explain the drills, the Falcons broadcast team of Wes Durham and Dave Archer provided commentary from the field over the PA system.
The fans in the stands came from all around the surrounding area and each had their own set of expectations for the night and the season. Robert Hale, from Athens, arrived two hours before the gates opened. He said he wanted to "see how the offensive line is gelling together." James Platt drove three hours from Eastman to see the scrimmage. He said that he is "hoping the team can take the next step and go deeper in the playoffs this year."
The full 11 on 11 scrimmage was set up to allow the defense and offense to earn points for accomplishing certain things. For example, the defense earned points with plays like sacks, forced fumbles, interceptions, knockdowns, etc. The offense earned points for things such as yards gained, receptions, first downs, etc. The coaches shuffled in players from the sidelines to work situations as well as getting entire units some repetition working together.
Fan favorites Matt Ryan and Roddy White did not disappoint during the evening. They hooked up on a long pass during one-on-one drills which electrified the crowd and had Wes Durham calling it like a Sunday afternoon. New addition Asante Samuel -- named "pick six 22" by Durham -- had a nice interception of a Ryan pass during the blitz drills.
After the scrimmage, the Falcons players moved to the sidelines to sign autographs for the fans. This was followed by a fireworks show to conclude the evening.
The Falcons open their preseason schedule Thursday night (Aug. 9) in the Georgia Dome against the Baltimore Ravens. They open the regular season Sept. 9 at Kansas City.
