I dont wana make holes in my trunk, whats the other options? i was thinking lots of velcro or a bungie?
You shouldnt have to cut holes in your trunk. Get you an L bracker or two depending on how big and heavy the box is and screw it into the trunk liner.

hmm... depends on the weight of the box... the first time i l-bracketed my box, it tore out six screws from the liner and eight from the wood under the floor (and then slid across the trunk, pulling out the amp and the battery, too - uphill corners give you a lot of traction)... consider using more than one bracket :)
It's not good, very fundamentally simply not good. - geolemon

I would recommend ell brackets
You can also use a thin board of mdf as the floor of your trunk. Just throw it under your carpet to replace the stock board and use "L" brackets to screw your box to it.

Thread: The Ranch Hand
The Ranch Hand
A successful rancher died and left everything to his devoted wife. She was a very good-looking woman and determined to keep the ranch, but knew very little about ranching, so she decided to place an ad in the newspaper for a ranch hand. Two cowboys applied for the job. One was gay and the other a drunk.
She thought long and hard about it, and when no one else applied she decided to hire the gay guy, figuring it would be safer to have him around the house than the drunk.
He proved to be a hard worker who put in long hours every day and knew a lot about ranching. For weeks, the two of them worked, and the ranch was doing very well.
Then one day, the rancher's widow said to the hired hand, "You have done a really good job, and the ranch looks great. You should go into town and kick up your heels." The hired hand readily agreed and went into town one Saturday night.
One o'clock came, however, and he didn't return. Two o'clock, and no hired hand. He returned around two-thirty, and upon entering the room, he found the rancher's widow sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine, waiting for him.
She quietly called him over to her.
"Unbutton my blouse and take it off," she said.
Trembling, he did as she directed.
"Now take off my boots."
He did as she asked, ever so slowly.
"Now take off my socks."
He removed each gently and placed them neatly by her boots.
"Now take off my skirt."
He slowly unbuttoned it, constantly watching her eyes in the fire light.
"Now take off my bra."
Again, with trembling hands, he did as he was told and dropped it to the floor.
Then she looked at him and said, "If you ever wear my clothes into town again, you're fired."'The Art of War' teaches us to "Rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's coming, but on our own readiness to receive him"--Sun Tsu
That was good! LOL!!!
A Smile
A smile cost nothing, but gives so much.
It enriches those who receive it,without making poorer those who give.It takes but a moment, but the memoryof it sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich or mighty that hecan get along without it,and none is so poor but thathe can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home,fosters goodwill in business,and is the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary,cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed,or stolen, for it is something that is of novalue to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.Give them one of yours, as none needs a smileso much as he who has no more to give.

An old farmer and his wife were getting ready for bed. He saw she was naked, and he pointed at her breasts and said, "You know, if these gave milk, we could sell the cows." She didn't say anything. Grabbing her butt, he said, "You know, if this could lay eggs, we could get rid of the chickens." She looked at him, and grabbed his penis. "You know ," she said,"if this worked, we could fire the hired hand!"For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.

AUSTIN, Texas —
The Texas Senate convened Friday afternoon to debate and ultimately vote on some of the nation's toughest abortion restrictions, its actions being watched by fervent demonstrators on either side of the issue.
The circus-like atmosphere in the Texas Capitol marked the culmination of weeks of protests, the most dramatic of which came June 25 in the final minutes of the last special legislative session when a Democratic filibuster and subsequent protest prevented the bill from becoming law. Abortion-rights advocates dressed in orange Friday, some carrying gynecological devices and signs, while anti-abortion activists wore blue and held images of fetuses and Bible verses.
The Senate's leader, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, is determined not to let anything — or anyone — derail a vote again. Senators began debate on House Bill 2 on Friday afternoon, with a vote to follow in the evening or possibly early Saturday morning.
The bill could shut all but five abortion clinics in Texas and would be a win long-eyed by conservatives who make abortion a key campaign issue, but the raucous debate has also given Texas Democrats newfound momentum. The Republican majority is expected to ultimately pass the bill, with Democrats left to do little more than enter into the legislative record material that could help defeat it in federal court.

I am a total neophyte to home stereo and I am lost in bad advice/ people trying to sell me something. Any help would be sincerely appreciated!
I finally ditched my dad's 1980s Warfdale speakers and got a set of TSx 550Ts. The speakers sound OK (WAY clearer than the warfdale) but they don't quite fill out the room as much I was hoping they would... unless I really crank the volume, but then it's just loud. I feel like if I'm not just in the perfect spot I'm listening to one speaker. I have tried moving the speakers around a bit but clearly I have yet to get it correct.
Part of the issue is the area I want to fill with music is an L shape (25 X 25 on the outside of the L) that is my kitchen, dining room/ living room. Awkward shape for sure. In case it matters, I attached a sketch of the room. I currently have the speakers opposite each other. Maybe that is a big part of my problem. I have never had them on the same wall because it seemed like that would not sound good in the other part of the L. I listen to music constantly and I want this area to sound awesome. A TV will not be part of the equation.
1. I am still using the 6 or 7 year old Sony RX-V461 receiver I had. I remember it was pretty cheap when I bought it. Do I need a new/ different receiver? Or is this old low end unit capable of decent sound? This amp did power a 5.1 surround sound system that sounded good in my basement at one point
2. What's the deal with the dual wire hookups? The instructions didn't offer too much advice. Am I really missing out by only running one set of wires?
3. Are 2 TSx550t the right amount of speakers to fill my L shaped open room? Can I/ do I want to add some bookshelf speakers on top of my kitchen cabinets? If I angle them down will onto of the cabinets work, or is that too high? Is it even possible/ advisable to run 4 speakers? Again, I do not want surround sound for TV, just balanced awesome sounding music in an open L shaped room.
Im like a child wandering in the woods over here, so any help on how to get the most bang for my buck would be awesome!

The American College of Psychoanalysts is an organization established to honor outstanding physician-psychoanalyststhroughout the world. The College honors, as Fellows, psychoanalysts who, aside from completing medical school, psychiatry residency, and psychoanalytic training, have distinguished themselves. Fellows' accomplishments encompass many areas relevant to the practice of psychoanalysis, including research, administration, lecturing, clinical practice, publication, and education.
Honorary Fellows include distinguished psychoanalysts who do not have a medical background. The College may also induct, as Members, physician-analysts who have begun to make serious contributions to the field.
The College offers Associate Membership to distinguished physicians with psychoanalytic interest; and Affiliate Membership to promising physicians taking post-residency fellowships at psychoanalytic institutes. The College is committed to mentoring the next generation of medically trained psychoanalysts, especially those who will make significant contributions to the field. The College, therefore, sponsors scholarships, scholarly presentations at annual meetings, and a newsletter.
The College's traditions comprise cordiality, camaraderie, and intellectual honesty. To those ends, we celebrate yearly at an annual awards banquet and engage in forums, often with other scholars, covering such timely topics as neuropsychoanalysis, modern analytic theory, world politics, technique, child and infant research, and the interface of psychoanalysis with general psychiatry.

ELIZABETHTOWN — As do hospitals in other communities, Elizabethtown Community Hospital's (ECH) influence reaches far beyond the realm of medical services, according to an economic-impact study.
The report, prepared with assistance from the Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS), highlighted the economic role ECH plays within its local community. It identified and measured the direct impact on the economy and demonstrated the ripple effect of the dollars the health-care sector brings into the community and the jobs it helps create.
In addition, it illustrated the benefit that the hospital provides to help ensure a safe, stable and healthy community.
Covers wide area
Though a community hospital's primary purpose is serving thousands of individuals and keeping the public healthy, its impact includes many facets that extend beyond direct patient care. ECH's service area encompasses more than 600 square miles in northeastern Essex County.
"The easiest way to look at it, if we weren't here, what would be the impact? Sometimes people take a hospital for granted," said ECH CEO Rod Boula.
ECH Director of Community Relations Jane Hooper said that people look for schools and hospitals when they consider where they may want to live.
"I recently got a call from someone who looked at our website and wanted a connection with a doctor," Boula said. "He mentioned our hospital was held in high regard."
The study shows community hospitals such as ECH have profound effects in increasing commerce through the people they employ, the impact of their spending, and the effect of hospital employee spending as well as the taxes they pay.
During the 2010 cost-report year, ECH employed 220 people in various capacities which resulted in a payroll of $10,278,000. The survey indicated that these employees spent $5,093,000 locally. During the 2010 reporting year, ECH supply purchases totaled $6,578,000 and capital spending amounted to $1,927,000, a total impact of $23,876,000.

As you can see from the output in Listing 1, you can identify that this is indeed a Windows platform, most likely XP, with service pack 2 or 3 or 2003 server. This type of scan is a fingerprinting scan, which allows you to identify the OS and any services worth testing as closely as possible. The fact that you can pull this much information from a very basic scan alone indicates a low level of protection and a high level of threat. You easily can surmise that there is no local firewall, and that this box hasn't gone through any hardening process.
Although you could run many other types of scans against this box to get more information, you have enough here to continue. You could narrow down whether this is a server through a process of elimination. For example, if this is a desktop, the chances of it running a service like MS SQL or Exchange are very minimal. That said, you have enough here to proceed to the second tool, Nessus.
With Nessus, let's put this box to the test to see just what hackers could do to this box if they got access. Nessus now uses a Web interface, but you still can use the command line if you prefer (remember to read the man pages). For this article though, let's stick with the Web interface. Once you log in to the Web GUI (note: it's a slick interface), click on the scan link to begin configuring a scan.

Figure 4. Nessus Scan Page
Once you click add, configure your scan using these basic settings (Figure 5). This will give you a quick scan with minimal impact, which is key on an internal network. You don't want to disrupt network traffic and bring on the wrath of your fellow admins and network engineers.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Studying at a research university is an exciting experience. Students are surrounded by individuals and teams who are constantly pushing the boundaries of human knowledge. On a daily basis, students are challenged to determine where holes exist in human knowledge, and how to solve these mysteries. Students are not only encouraged to participate in research, but are provided with the means by which to do so.
The primary ways in which undergraduate students can become involved with research in Economics are: working as a research assistant to faculty members; pursuing one's own research project; taking research methods courses; and writing a Tepper Honors Thesis in Economics.
Tepper School of Business has produced eight Nobel Prize winners in Economics: Robert Lucas, Merton Miller, Franco Modigliani, Herb Simon, Edward Prescott, Finn Kydland, Oliver Williamson and Dale Mortensen. Lucas was awarded the prize for his pioneering work on rational expectations theory and its implications for government macroeconomic and regulatory policies. Modigliani's prize recognized his path-breaking life-cycle theory of consumer savings, an important component in all modern macroeconomic models. Miller's prize was awarded in recognition of his contributions to corporate finance. The results of his research -- in collaboration with Franco Modigliani -- are now taught in every business school in the country. Simon's prize was given for his seminal development of the idea of bounded rationality in economics, and the need to focus on human behavior as well as markets in order to understand the workings of a large industrial economy. In 2004, Kydland and Prescott became the next Nobel Prize recipients from the business school. Their work together advanced the field of dynamic macroeconomics and transformed the practice of monetary and fiscal policy in many countries. In 2009, Williamson was selected for: "his analysis of economic governance, especially the boundaries of the firm." Williamson studied and conducted research at Carnegie Mellon University at a pivotal time in the history of modern business management education, an academic discipline that had been created only a few years earlier. He was an integral part of a group of students and faculty that forged a new path in business research and education. Mortensen, performed the research that awarded him the Nobel prize at Northwestern University, earned his Ph.D. from the Graduate School of Industrial Administration (now the Tepper School of Business) in 1967.
The full text of these and previous Senior Honors Theses in Economics can be found in the Carnegie Mellon University Electronic Archives.

As with summer movies, the area's summer-theatre scene - featuring, at last count, a whopping 68 productions scheduled by 22 organizations - is jam-packed with escapist fare: musicals, comedies, mysteries, musical-comedy mysteries. But like the random art-house release that manages to sneak into Hollywood's blockbuster-centric season, this summer will also feature occasional dramas and classical works, plus no less than four Pulitzer Prize-winners - five, if you count one of them being produced at two separate venues.

Witnesses say they could pick the driver out of this line-up. Of course, the driver was not actually Dick Cheney. Or was he? And he wasn't wearing a mask. Or was he?
Plainville police are looking for a hit-and-run driver who may bear a striking resemblence to former Vice President Dick Cheney.
The man was driving a silver Chevy Tahoe or similar SUV that hit a man and a dog along Broad St. Tuesday night.
Kris Godlewski, 46, suffered non life-threatening injuries. The dog was hurt as well, and treated at a local animal hospital.
Witnesses say the driver was an older, balding man with white hair and glasses, and looked like Dick Cheney.
The SUV had a license plate began with the letters WJC, witnesses told police.

The girlfriend of a man shot and killed overnight in West Philadelphia didn't want to be identified but does want the public to know that the 23-year-old slain father was a good man.
"He was a hardworking man who took care of his family and his step kids and he didn't get into trouble didn't get into the streets," she said.
Witnesses report hearing multiple shots fired in the middle of the night between two men on the 100 block of Dewey Street.
"I was inside asleep my mom jumped out of bed...screaming," Paige Haynes said.
"I heard gunshots I did...but by the time I heard them I ran outside," Joshua Tardy said.
Joshua Tardy says he was hosting a Halloween party at his house at the time of the shooting and believes that one of the men involved in the shoot-out was parked in the middle of the street waiting to pick someone up from the party.
Witnesses believe the double-parked car sparked a fight between the driver who police say was a security guard and the victim who was trying to find a parking space though that theory has not been confirmed by police.
The victim's girlfriend says she and the victim have a 1-year-old little boy together and another baby on the way a child who will never know his father.
Police have not commented on a motive for this shooting nor have they given a timeline of what transpired or who fired first. They tell us they are currently conducting interviews on the information regarding this shooting.

New Castle News
Juvenile petitions were filed Thursday against four Neshannock Township high school students.
Lawrence County District Attorney Joshua Lamancusa said all four of them are charged with one count each of simple assault and harassment.
Lamancusa said charges were filed by Neshannock Township police following an investigation of an alleged assault of a female student and after consultation with the family of the girl.
A hearing will be scheduled, the district attorney said, and the matter will be handled in the juvenile court system.
Names of those charged were not released because they are juveniles.
Charges stem from an alleged incident in April during an overnight field trip to New York City. Between 50 and 60 Neshannock students made the trip, police said. The alleged assault occurred on the return trip to Lawrence County.
Earlier this year, Lt. John Rand of the Neshannock Township police said officers had begun an investigation after being contacted by the girl's mother.
Dr. Mary Todora, superintendent of the Neshannock school district, said yesterday she is not aware that charges had been filed and could not comment.

UNFPA PSB has recently launched its Green Procurement Strategy. This ambitious document establishes specific environment goals and outlines the environmental focus areas for UNFPA. This strategy will guide the set-up of processes and requirements which suppliers will be expected to demonstrate compliance with. The Green Procurement Strategy is just the beginning of a project that aims to improve both UNFPA and its suppliers environmental footprint.
As part of UNFPA's global efforts to strengthen Census support, PSB has consolidated into one document the list of common items typically procured during the various census phases. Items that are covered by valid Long Term Agreements (LTAs) have been marked accordingly. More LTAs are under development and in the longer run it is expected that all goods and services will be covered by LTAs. This document aimed to assist the government, country offices, and other stakeholders during census procurement planning stage. It is desirable to procure for items under LTA, as it has undergone technical evaluation, and competitive bidding process to ensure the best value of money.
UNFPA has established an Inter-Division Working Group for Census Support , consisting of representatives from Population & Development Branch, PSB, MIS, Resource Mobilization Branch, Regional Offices, as well as the UN Statistic Division. The aim of that group is to provide integrated solutions and packages to census projects through the combined technical, procurement and programmatic skills and expertise that this group offers.

Armed robber sought in Tilton
TILTON - Police are searching for a man they say robbed the Stafford Food and Beverage store at gunpoint Thursday night.
A clerk called police shortly before 7 p.m. Thursday to say she'd been robbed by a man described as white, 5 feet, 8 inches to 5 feet, 9 inches tall, 160 to 170 pounds with a thin build wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt or jacket and dark-colored pants, police said.
He was also wearing a dark or black mask on his face and a dark or black hat, police said.
The man pointed a black, semi-automatic handgun at the clerk and demanded cash before fleeing on foot behind the store, which is at 311 West Main St., toward Academy Road and Prospect Street.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 286-4442 or anonymously at 855-286-6565.

ARC Report: Simulated training a growth trend
Projected growth to top 9% a year over next five years, study finds.
Training is a growth market, and a recent study by the ARC Advisory Group points to the growth in the operation training simulator market.
The OTS market was at $450 million in 2012, and the ARC report projects continued growth in this sector through 2017 by about 9% per year over the next five years.
"The OTS market is at a pivot point with factors that all lead to an expanding market for the operator training simulation solutions for the process industries, particularly in the nuclear, oil and gas, and metals and mining industries," said Janice Abel, principal consultant for the ARC Advisory Group and author of the study. "Key trends such as the aging workforce, the new digital generation worker, emerging market workers, safety and risk avoidance factors are all pointing towards OTS market growth."
Loss of worker knowledge due to a retiring workforce, operational safety pressures, risk and regulatory concerns, and performance are all impacting manufacturing. The younger digital generation worker that is replacing the current workforce lacks experience gained over a lifetime that can be used to operate a plant safely and efficiently. In some emerging countries, workers change jobs on average every two years, and this too is a driver for additional OTS solutions. "To retain knowledge, improve safety, and avert potential disasters, workers are receiving improved training using simulation solutions and this trend will continue," Abel said. "The OTS market will benefit from a perfect storm of factors that all point to growth in the operator training simulator market for the process industries."
Companies are losing their most experienced operators, yet continue to push operations' limits for economic reasons. Operators with experience are harder to come by. All these factors increase the risks associated with operating a plant or asset safely. In addition, the pressures of increasing government regulations to maintain safe, environmentally compliant operations while being capable of running the process efficiently and profitably are more important than ever.
Another key factor is the recognition regarding the role simulation plays in developing the next generation of worker (aging workforce issues) and how the tools can be used to capture previous generation knowledge. The expected turnover of personnel and the loss of decades of knowledge and experience are forcing companies to build more robust training programs. Process simulation training is vital for preventing incidents and accidents and understanding how to respond to worst-case scenarios in real life.
The research study includes information about software technologies, tools, and methodologies for high fidelity solutions that replicate and simulate plant operations exactly. Generic simulators are process or application specific and are being used to train operators for the process industries. Operator training simulators considered in the study includes 2D, 3D, generic high fidelity, dynamic high fidelity, and virtual type applications.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Most Americans favor government intervention in the foreclosure crisis.
The remaining GOP candidates don't agree on much, but they have found common ground on one thing: less government involvement in the housing market.
But according to a new poll, that stance is out of touch with what most Americans want to see from the federal government when it comes to the housing crisis. The majority of Americans—58 percent, according to Gallup—support the government taking further steps to prevent foreclosures. Only 34 percent prefer to let the problem resolve itself.
It has a lot to do with tanking home prices.
Half of all Americans and 57 percent of homeowners are worried about stagnant home prices, according to Gallup, and they have a point. If there are a lot of foreclosures in a certain neighborhood, it tends to drive down prices in the surrounding area. That can push homeowners further underwater on their mortgages and even increase the chance of foreclosure.
While President Obama has thrown out a few ideas on how to help struggling homeowners, with the majority of Republicans opposing any government action in the housing market, it seems unlikely legislation would pass the Republican-controlled House.
Still, as the GOP candidates head into the Florida primaries, they're waking up to the realities of the housing and foreclosure crises. Perhaps spending a little time in the Sunshine State and canvassing neighborhoods in upcoming battleground states also hit hard by overbuilding and foreclosures will bring the housing crisis home for the politicians.

Bio and Links
I'm a longtime local resident and Rindge (NH) Historical Society member and volunteer, past president and current BOD. Volunteer research assistant in local history matters and genealogy at RHS museum. A Civil War buff, and a fairly decent knowledge of local cemeteries from knowing lots of people in them.
I've had a life long interest in history. I became a member of my home town historical society when I was 11. I was one of those kids that wrote essays for entry in those D.A.R. contests to win that $25.00 savings bond,won a few as well.
Cemetery trips started way back then too. Visiting the local cemeteries with relatives to find grandparents, great grandparents was an annual event. This led to trips all over New England with extended family for reunions and more cemetery trips and visits to a lot of dusty archives and libraries. This was all before the internet. How things have changed.
My goal here is to plug away as I can with my own family and work away at the local cemeteries I know best, they are loaded with Rev. War vets and Civil War vets that have not been remembered here yet. And to help out others as I can with photos or information about their projects.
BTW, feel free to use my photographs and don't hesitate to contact me about a memorial I've created, with additional info or whatever!

Dear Bill
I have just sponsored the memorial on Find A Grave for:
Dr Stephen Jewett - Find A Grave Memorial# 88657647
I sponsor all the memorials that I am researching
Would you consider transferring this to me and I will add more information and an image or two to your already excellent research.
As you probably know, your name would remain on the memorial as the one who created it.
I am a medical & dental historian and retired director of the National Museum of Dentistry (see my bio and some of the physicians and dentists I am working on.)
I am just researching practitioners that I have artifacts from.
If you are not comfortable with a transfer - I can put the images up and send you the information to add.
Thank you for considering a transfer

I understand and do thank you again. I do a close up of the grave for the my family trees to help clarify errors for others without the benefit of photos.
The warmth of communicating can be lost on the page. You do very well on that and you are so kind to take time to answer. That is so nice!

Enos Lake Memorial# 87335309
Hi Ken,
I am working on the Enos Lake obelisk at Topsfield, Massachusetts and I was wondering if you could clarify any of the info on my Enos' memorial [the son of the subject Enos], son's # 89272487. There exist many discrepancies in documentation on the memorial that I have created as noted on my memorial. If you have no info clarifying the discrepancies I have found, thank you for taking the time to look at this. He is the son of Enos and Prudence.

Update 10:17 p.m.:
State Rep. Terrie Wood won re-election Tuesday, just edging out Democrat Rob Werner in Rowayton, but beating him handily in the larger Darien part of the 141st House District.
According to preliminary results announced Tuesday evening at Darien Republican election headquarters, Wood received a total of 7,006 votes to Werner's 3,367. Almost every vote in Wood's margin of victory was from Darien—Rowayton's vote was almost even, with 1,405 for Wood and 1,401 for Werner.
Wood, who was unopposed in her previous two elections, said she had great respect for Werner, who she called a "worthy opponent" because he ran a serious campaign on the issues. Werner had particularly emphasized changing state housing law 830(g).
Wood said the law is an "obviously" a big issue in Darien. Another big issue for the town is "the way we spend money in Hartford," she said. Wood said the state needs "smaller government and greater accountability."
She also thanked her family for tolerating her many hours in Hartford and on the road away from them. "I'm most grateful to you guys," she said.
Here's the vote by district in Darien (the 141st house district does not cover Darien's voting District 3):
District 1: Wood, 1,295; Werner, 253
District 2: Wood, 1,105; Werner, 315
District 4: Wood, 1,101; Werner, 385
District 5: Wood, 1,077; Werner, 518
District 6: Wood, 1,023; Werner, 485
Rowayton: Wood, 1,405; Werner, 1,401
Update 8:41 p.m.:
Preliminary results for voting Districts 2, 5 and 6 show state Rep. Terrie Wood with a wide lead over Democratic challenger Rob Werner in Darien voting:
District 2: Wood, 1,105; Werner, 315
District 5: Wood, 1,077; Werner, 518
District 6: Wood, 1,023; Werner, 485
Update 2:32 p.m.:
State Rep. Terrie Wood and her challenger, Democrat Rob Werner, each were standing outside the Town Hall polling place at about 2 p.m.
"It's been a great turnout," Wood said. That's probably because the weather, while cool, has been sunny and dry. "It's great to be out and feel the enthusiasm people have this year. I think every presidential election brings out the enthusiasm."
Werner said he's been enjoying the day, too, and has been visiting various polling places in Darien and Rowayton.
Original article:
Republican Terrie Wood, who is serving her second term as State Representative for the 141st District (representing Darien and Norwalk), will face off on Tuesday against Democrat Rob Werner.
One of the issues that the two seem to disagree most on is affordable housing. At a League of Women Voters Candidates Night late last month, Werner stated that affordable housing was the reason he decided to run, according to the Darien Times, touting that the statue is overdue for changes that "would need a Democrat."
Wood rebutted by saying that she helped bring forth a bill amending the affordable housing statue that got some "good traction" and that "if it was something a Democrat could do on the inside, it would have been done by now."
And while Wood touts her political experience as her advantage over Werner, Werner told the Darien Times that his strength lies in the fact that he "grew up in Hartford politics."
- Wood received her Bachelor's degree at Rollins College, while Werner received his Bachelor's degree at the University of Pennsylvania and Trinity College.
- Werner's previous employers include Brady, Tamoney & Alexander, Ames Department Stores and KFW Enterprises. Woods has served on the Darien Land Trust and is the co-founder of The Darien Environmental Group.

|yamasa.org / home / acjs / english / financial / - Tuition Student Interviews Ní thuigim thú
Suggestion Box
The Student Services office will help with advice regarding money transfer, credit cards, bill payments and all other related matters. The banking system in Japan is not very competitive and offers poor services compared to most other countries. Many students have some difficulties adapting to what is basically a cash-only society and to Japanese language only services.
Students studying at Yamasa on a long term basis with student visas usually open a bank account during their first couple of days with assistance from the office staff. It is then relatively easy to have bills such as gas, electricity and water paid by deductions from your bank account.
Short term program students CAN open bank accounts, so it is possible for money to be transferred to you. But if you are a short term student then please note that it is best to bring traveler checks so that you have some safe but accessible funds available when you arrive. Credit cards are of limited utility in Japan and it can be very difficult to get cash using credit cards. Most ATM machines only accept cards issued by Japanese banks. Traveller's checks usually offer the best Yen exchange rate. They offer a better rate than cash and are much safer.
Credit cards are usually accepted by the larger stores for payment purposes, however please note that many stores and restaurants will not accept payment except by cash. For withdrawing money from ATM's or at banks, please note that Visa card is more widely accepted than Mastercard or American Express.
Q - I'm looking forward to arriving at Okazaki next month. But there is a question I would like answered before I go.
The bank clerk told me, I can pay with a Euro-Card at every shop, so that I do not need to carry lots of money with
me. Two days ago I talked to a girl who had been in Japan for two months in 1999 and she said that it is nearly impossible
to pay with Euro-Card and you can't get money at a bank or cashpoint. Do you know if I can get money at the local bank in
Okazaki with my Euro-Card. What would you recommend?
A - You can withdraw money using a visa card at the Okashin Bank near Yamasa. Many small shops do not accept credit cards although this is changing. We would advise you to bring both traveller's checks and a Visa card. Its also best to have around 20,000 yen in cash when you arrive or to make a similar withdrawal at Nagoya Airport.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Though it's only the start of November, an annual program has restarted to help poor and elderly Ohioans with their winter heating bills.
The state's Home Energy Assistance Program offers an emergency benefit between November and March if a household has been disconnected, is threatened with a loss of heat service, or has less than a 10-day supply of bulk fuel.
Households qualify based on income guidelines. A single person must have earned $5,445 or less during the past three months, while a family of four can have quarterly income of no more than $11,175.

On his way to the Panama Canal, Will Foraker sounded energized.
His globe-trotting job — entertaining travelers as a piano-playing singer aboard Celebrity cruise ships — "is definitely not a lifestyle I want once I settle down." But for a 25-year-old with "at this point, no wife and no kids," it's a pretty good gig.
"In the end, it's all worth it," Foraker said from his cellphone at sea. "I wake up in the morning, and I play piano.
"For the most part," he added, "it feels like a paid vacation, really."
Even the unusual destinations energize Foraker. His current tour, which began Dec. 7 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., will eventually take Foraker from Argentina to, of all places, Antarctica. "I'm super pumped," he said. "I want to see some penguins."
In a way, the variety of the scenery mirrors Foraker's music, including this month's release of his fourth and latest CD, "Billy Big Lips." The Terre Haute native began playing piano at age 6, but didn't like it. Later, as a Woodrow Wilson Middle Schooler, the influence of jazz ignited a passion for music in Foraker, through performances with combos supervised by school instructor Dave Nearpass and in private lessons with Indiana State University professor John Spicknall.
Spicknall "kind of opened my eyes to jazz — that it wasn't just notes on a page," Foraker said.
He impressed Spicknall, a veteran jazz pianist in Wabash Valley music circles.
"To see the light bulb go on, and see him understanding things my college students were working on when he was in middle school was something," Spicknall recalled. "His gift was apparent from the get-go."
As a mere seventh-grader, Foraker and bassist Da Bologna regularly entertained patrons at Pino's Il Sonetto restaurant.
His progress continued from his middle school days through high school at Terre Haute North. From there, he enrolled at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and pursued first a mechanical engineering degree and then switched to economics, figuring it would lead to "a steady, 40-hour-a-week job, and do music on the side." But after three years, he dropped out at Rose in 2008. "My heart really wasn't in it," he said.
Throughout his college time, he performed around Terre Haute and Indiana and recorded music with a blues-jazz-rock group, The Leonard Washingtons. They continue, regrouping during summers. Last September, they got solid reviews from fans at the lineup of the Blues at the Crossroads Festival.
Shortly after leaving college, he spotted a callout on Facebook from a talent agent. It said, "Wanted: Musicians for 5-star cruise ships." Foraker applied, and soon attended a casting call at Indiana University. He auditioned for 10 minutes, playing a medley of Billy Joel, Eagles, Miles Davis, Ray Charles and Dave Brubeck standards.
By December 2009, he was playing piano and singing on Celebrity's Solstice ship heading through the Caribbean to Honduras and Mexico. In 2010 and 2011, his stops included the Mediterranean Sea ports in the French Riviera, Italy, Turkey, Greece and Croatia. Last year, he and another young performer played for six months at a Japanese hotel, before wrapping up in February. Already in 2012, Foraker has played Hawaii, Miami, England and Norway. Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Malaysia and Africa are also on the docket.
His parents, both retired, frequently catch his act in person, joining the cruises. "So I just kind of double as their travel agent," he quipped, "and they're kind of my unofficial groupies."
While back home in Terre Haute, Foraker has recorded albums with Vigo County producer Don Arney, who operates Quantum Music Production studio in Pimento. Arney's production skills helped shape Foraker's delivery. "If I wouldn't have met Don in 2008, I wouldn't be the musician I am," Foraker said.
His recent "Billy Big Lips" album — available at websites www.billybiglips.com and willforaker.bandcamp.
com — exemplies his abilities, Arney said. On it, Foraker does renditions of old jazz standards, as well as Led Zeppelin's "Going to California" and Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush." "But it all works together," Arney said, "when it's Will playing."
Foraker also delivered a gem to the new benefit album, "The Wabash," which Arney produced, with proceeds funding a planned sculpture commemorating composer Paul Dresser's state song, "On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away." Foraker did a version of the long-lost ragtime tune, "I'm Gonna Float My Boat Right Back to Terre Haute." He'd never heard it before, and only had some sheet music and a casual sing-along YouTube rendition of the song.
He turned it into one of the album's strongest tracks, using a New Orleans stride piano style, in the vein of Dr. John or Leon Russell.
"I tried to do it in the style that made me happy," Foraker said.
That happens almost any time Foraker takes on a song, Arney said. For example, Foraker tackled the country classic "Long Black Veil" by Lefty Frizzell, and Arney boldly said, "Will's version is probably one of the best ever recorded."
Foraker, he added, "is probably one of the most well-rounded musician-entertainers I've worked with in 40 years."
Looking ahead, Foraker has a "five-year plan, and a five-year contingency plan," but wants to be a professional recording artist by age 30. For now, making music at sea suits him well.
"I'm really not ready to be done cruising," he said. "I'm not done seeing certain spots in the world. And if they're paying me, I can't say no."

With our extended winter this year (spring is finally springing in our neck of the woods this week!), I found myself craving comfort foods to help me get over the cold-weather blues. And for that very same reason, I decided to focus on an American classic for this week's recipe – one that some might consider a quintessential comfort food. Believe it or not, it's very hard to find any sort of origin or history around the combination of sausage, peppers and onion. It's a staple food of Fenway Park, so it must be a Boston thing, right? But others associate it with NYC, and still more with Chicago. All I can say with certainty is that it's of Italian-American descent, with fairly deep roots, and an easy way to make a quick delicious meal.
The word "sausage" originally comes from the Latin word salsus, which means "salted." There is evidence of it being enjoyed in Italy as much as 2,000 years ago. That it has a long culinary existence isn't so surprising; sausage is a perfect way of making sure every bit of the animal is used, and deliciously so. Here in the US, the words "Italian sausage" imply a seasoning based on fennel seeds and anise, and can be sold as either mild or spicy.

Reason's Ron Bailey opines on the 35th anniversary of Earth Day:
- The Hallmarkization of Earth Day aptly symbolizes the predicament of 21st century ideological environmentalism. Unfortunately for green activists, the public now recognizes that their relentless predictions of imminent environmental apocalypse are a bunch of hooey. In fact, people need only look around to see that the state of the natural world in the United States and much of the world has greatly improved over the past 35 years. Sure, public schools still teach environmental doomster tracts to impressionable children, but public schools are always decades behind the rest of society, being, after all, the absolutely last places where new facts and ideas infiltrate.
And be sure to check out the 2005 edition of the Index of Leading Environmental Indicators for more on the positive environmental trends that the media fails to make room for amid the endless torrent of doom-and-gloom articles.
For example, check out these air pollution stats. According to EPA data, since 1976:
- ozone levels have decreased by 31 percent
- sulfur dioxide levels have decreased by 72 percent,
- nitrogen dioxide levels have decreased by 42 percent,
- carbon dioxide levels have decreased by 76 percent (!),
- particulates (smoke and dust) have decreased by 31 percent, and
- air quality in the 10 largest U.S. metro areas has improved an average of 53 percent in the last 25 years.
Doesn't quite jive with The Day After Tomorrow alarmism we're used to hearing, huh? Read the 2005 Index for even more food for thought.
And be sure to pass some of this environmental sanity along to others; friends don't let friends believe the enviro-nonsense that emanates from Big Media. And if you have kids, it is ABSOLUTELY your mandatory duty to give them a healthy dose of deprogramming this weekend.
