"If you can count your money, you don't have a billion dollars" — J Paul Getty
Tony Salamone drives to Charlestown and back to Indianapolis five days a week where his wife still works in marketing. His brother Drew has moved back in with his parents for the time being. Both have decided to risk their future on Charlestown with a business venture called Bare Shoulder BBQ.
Both of the Salamone brothers have worked in a form of the restaurant industry since the mid-80s. Tony started out working at Don Pablo's locally before eventually relocating to the Indianapolis area. He moved up from server to training manager and along the way worked at a couple of Indy's high-end restaurants.
Drew has a degree in hotel/restaurant management from Purdue University and until very recently ran student union restaurants in West Lafayette.
The brothers are rolling the dice on their new family eatery at 318 Main Cross on the square in Charlestown. It's only been open a little over three weeks.
The obvious question was why to start the venture in Charlestown. The discussion included their long-standing relationship to the community. Mom and dad have retired here. Both of the boys spent some of their formative years in Otisco. They see a potential market for something different as a dining taste locally. And as Tony says, "We thought we could bring good food at a good price." Both say their prices are comparable to the other family barbecue restaurants in southern Indiana.
The Salamone brothers did discuss several possible business concepts. They decided on barbecue at least partly from some of their lives spent living in other places. Drew remembers, "Living in Texas, we found a love for barbecue. It's one food I really enjoy cooking." Tony also wants to stress that 98 percent of all food is cooked from scratch and the meat is always smoked overnight. Drew reminded me as well that there are a few other items on the menu other than barbecue and there are $5 lunch specials that are subject to change such as meatloaf and hamburgers. However, due to the early success, "Taco Tuesday pulled pork tacos are here to stay."
One of the goals for the businessmen is to become very involved in the community. With success they would like to sponsor youth teams and have already lent their name to a local fundraising coupon book. "We want to be family friendly. We plan on staying open late after football games." The business currently offers a discount to all local police, fire, and acting serving members of the military.
As a resident of the Charlestown area it is a fair question to ask if the community can and will support new eateries. I have chosen in the past to spotlight a couple of other ventures that are no longer open. I choose to try and help small business owners because I know so many and understand how much love and work goes into such operations. For most small business entrepreneurs all of their assets can go into pursuing such an attempt with absolutely no guarantee of success and a high percentage of a possibility of failure.
In the past few years numerous small businesses, especially dining establishments, have opened and closed in Charlestown after a very short time. Obviously the quality of food and service should always be a factor in the success of any profit-making venture.
I have heard many reasons why places like Indies and the twice attempted sandwich shops did not survive long term. Pizza Hut obviously had many competitors. KFC and Indies had a tough adversary in the very delicious, popular, and highly affordable Jay C fried chicken hot bar.
One fairly newly opened restaurant owner recently told the Salamone brothers that Charlestown does not support their business. However, longtime successful operations such as the Charlestown Pizza Company and The Copper Kettle disprove that general statement. If, in fact, Charlestown residents want to continue to improve their quality and quantity of choices, there must be patronage. I totally suspect that as River Ridge continues to attract new companies the area is certainly destined to grow exponentially. For that growth to continue in and around Charlestown there must be new businesses to satisfy increased population growth demands.
In the end no new business can keep their doors open without the register ringing up sales on a daily basis.
People like Drew and Tony Salamone have risked not only capital but will invest long hours of labor to make their new barbecue venture a success. The brothers have already leased some additional space next door to possibly in the long run entertain another food-themed restaurant; perhaps an Italian eatery. At this time they have secured a two-year lease. There are also plans to offer event catering.
As Tony stressed, "I want people to know we are from here." He hopes the success will allow him and his wife to move closer, perhaps Columbus. Five days per week, his three-hour round trip is one based on his faith that shorter days and success will come.
Their grand opening will officially take place from 7 to 9 p.m. on Friday, July 26, and feature local Elvis impersonator Todd Bodenheimer. Bare Shoulder is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. They are on Facebook at facebook.com/bareshoulderbbq and have a website www.bareshoulderbbq.com. The phone number for carry out orders is 812-796-6014.
All they ask is to give them a try and offer feedback whether positive or constructively critical. They want to know what Charlestown expects and they hope to deliver. Or as their menu slogan suggests, simply drop in for some "swine dining."

On Beauty: Places to Play and Pray
Yosemite meets Saarschleife in this pairing of German wilderness and poignant words from John Muir.
"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike."
—John Muir, from The Yosemite
These lyrical words from the great American conservationist are often cited, but what is far more interesting is the religious language he uses in the following paragraphs:
This natural beauty-hunger is made manifest in the little window-sill gardens of the poor, though perhaps only a geranium slip in a broken cup, as well as in the carefully tended rose and lily gardens of the rich, the thousands of spacious city parks and botanical gardens, and in our magnificent National parks — the Yellowstone, Yosemite, Sequoia, etc. — Nature's sublime wonderlands, the admiration and joy of the world. Nevertheless, like anything else worth while, from the very beginning, however well guarded, they have always been subject to attack by despoiling gainseekers and mischief-makers of every degree from Satan to Senators, eagerly trying to make everything immediately and selfishly commercial, with schemes disguised in smug-smiling philanthropy, industriously, shampiously crying, 'Conservation, conservation, panutilization,' that man and beast may be fed and the dear Nation made great.
Thus long ago a few enterprising merchants utilized the Jerusalem temple as a place of business instead of a place of prayer, changing money, buying and selling cattle and sheep and doves; and earlier still, the first forest reservation, including only one tree, was likewise despoiled. Ever since the establishment of the Yosemite National Park, strife has been going on around its borders and I suppose this will go on as part of the universal battle between right and wrong, however much its boundaries may be shorn, or its wild beauty destroyed."
Add Your Reflection
His language is too self
His language is too self righteous for me (e.g, "by despoiling gainseekers and mischief-makers of every degree from Satan to Senators, eagerly trying to make everything immediately and selfishly commercial,").
It is easy to admire beauty but the true task is to see beauty in the dark, filthy alleys of our souls. It is most important to appreciate good and bad and how they are intertwined. Because in reality good and bad are just labels that our mind puts on things.
Dear Reza, I agree, self
Dear Reza, I agree, self-righteousness lurks everywhere and in all of us...it takes rigorous self-observation to watch out for it in oneself. How do we know that we are not being self-righteous ourselves when we castigate John Muir's old-fashioned English wording written so long ago yet but within a specific context and purpose that is generally known? Only you know the context of "true task" and "beauty in the dark, filthy alleys of our souls." Why is it "most" rather than "more," or, simply, "important" - and what is the meaning of your "good" and "bad"?
John Muir is so right on!
John Muir is so right on! What he says is sadly as true today, if not more so. So many refuse to see that if we don't value and save our world from our over population, greed and selfishness that all that makes life precious will be lost. We don't have to be the blight on this world but so often we choose to be the destructive force not the helping, protective one we could be.

Word of Mouth: Sugarfina Sweets
The story behind Beverly Hills candy shop Sugarfina is like something out of a rom-com movie. Founders Rosie O'Neill and Josh Resnick met online and, on their third date, went to see a screening of the original Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Something clicked. Why shouldn't there be gourmet candy… for adults? They talked. They brainstormed. They left their jobs, traveled the world researching confections and, in 2012, after nearly three years of dating, launched Sugarfina, which just opened a second outpost in L.A. It's a tale as sweet as, well, their ice cream sundae malt balls, gummy piglets, honey-infused jelly beans (above) and champagne marshmallows dipped in 24K gold.

"You could say that I am a student of photography, and I am," photographer Garry Winogrand once said. "But really, I'm a student of America." And, indeed, walking through his new retrospective at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art is like time traveling back, getting a glimpse at Postmodern America from New York City to San Francisco and all points in between. Winogrand captured that era like no other — from the streets, cataloguing the every day, decades before street-style photography would be de rigueur. And the Bronx native was incredibly prolific, shooting some 26,000 rolls of film in his lifetime and an extra 6,600 rolls he himself had never seen, many of which are being printed for the first time for the exhibit. Garry Winogrand is on view till September 21.

The Clinton Herald
---- — CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — A Minnesota man is facing a first-degree murder charge in the 1999 slaying of an Iowa woman after a recent review of the cold case developed new information leading to the arrest, police said Monday.
Deshaun Lamont Phillips, 34, of Lakeville, Minn., was already in jail in Minnesota's Scott County on a domestic assault charge when the charge in the killing of Judith Weeks was filed Friday.
Weeks' partially clothed body was found April 5, 1999, beneath a fire escape in the backyard of a vacant apartment in Cedar Rapids. An autopsy concluded the 44-year-old Cedar Rapids woman had been struck in the forehead by a sharp object.
Cedar Rapids Police Sgt. Denni Randall said in a news release that the case was thoroughly investigated 14 years ago and has been reviewed several times over the years.
"Recently, investigators were specifically assigned to this case and developed new information regarding Phillips that they pursued, which resulted in the filing of this charge," she said.
Authorities haven't said what type of evidence was uncovered. Randall, in an email, said she couldn't release anything further.
Iowa prosecutors weren't immediately available for comment. Linn County Attorney Jerry Vander Sanden did not respond to messages left by The Associated Press.
Online court records show Phillips spent seven days in jail and paid a fine for a second offense domestic abuse charge that occurred just two weeks after Weeks' body was found.
Later that year he was convicted on burglary charges and sentenced to prison.

I make these all the time but the cook time and meaurements are different. I use about 3/4 of a pound bag of pretzels, 1 package of ranch, 1 tablesspoon garlic powder and 1 tablespoon of dried dill and definitely not olive oil! Use vegetable oil and use just slightly over 1/2 a cup. Cook at 250 and stir to coat every 15 minutes for 1 hour. I promise they will be perfection. I have made them for years and they have been a hit, each and every time.
My family makes pretzels similar to these...however they don't need to be baked. Prepare and let the pretzels "marinate" in the oil mixture for 8 to 10 hours (shaking or stirring every so often to get the oil distributed) and the mixture will soak into the pretzels. Also, replace the oil with popcorn oil for added flavor (as mentioned by another reviewer as having done). These are addicting!
These were so easy and went over very well at a Supebowl party. I did use vegetable oil as per some reviewers advice. While I love olive oil it does have a very distinctive flavor that I just didn't see lending itself well to such a "snacky" food. I used 1 tbls of both the garlic powder and dill as well, again per reviewers advice. I will certainly make these again and again.

Snowstorm 'of major proportions' slams NortheastBy JAY LINDSAY
The Associated Press | February 09,2013AP Photo
Soonmee Lee cleans show from her car at the municipal parking lot in Fort Lee, N.J., as a winter storm hits the region Friday. The snow was expected to get worse overnight.BOSTON — A storm that forecasters warned could be a blizzard for the history books began clobbering the New York-to-Boston corridor Friday, grounding flights, closing workplaces and sending people rushing to get home ahead of a possible 1 to 3 feet of snow.
From New Jersey to Maine, shoppers crowded into supermarkets and hardware stores to buy food, snow shovels, flashlights and generators, something that became a precious commodity after Superstorm Sandy in October.
Others gassed up their cars, another lesson learned all too well after Sandy. Across much of New England, schools closed well ahead of the first snowflakes.
"This is a storm of major proportions," Boston Mayor Thomas Menino warned. "Stay off the roads. Stay home."
The wind-whipped snowstorm mercifully arrived at the start of a weekend, which meant fewer cars on the road and extra time for sanitation crews to clear the mess before commuters in the New York-to-Boston region of roughly 25 million people have to go back to work.
Halfway through what had been a mild winter across the Northeast, blizzard warnings were posted from parts of New Jersey to Maine. The National Weather Service said Boston could get close to 3 feet of snow by Saturday evening, while most of Rhode Island could receive more than 2 feet. Connecticut was bracing for 2 feet, and New York City was expecting as much as 14 inches.
By Friday evening, the New York-to-Boston corridor was getting blowing, swirling snow and freezing rain. Early snowfall was blamed for a 19-car pileup in Cumberland, Maine, that caused minor injuries.
The snow was expected to be at its heaviest Friday night and into Saturday. Forecasters said wind gusts up to 75 mph could cause widespread power outages and whip the snow into fearsome drifts. Flooding was expected along coastal areas still recovering from Superstorm Sandy, which hit New York and New Jersey the hardest and is considered Jersey's worst natural disaster.
Meteorologist Jeff Masters, of Weather Underground, said the winter storm was a collision of two storms and may end up among the Boston area's Top 5 most intense ever.
"When you add two respectable storms together, you're going to get a knockout punch with this one," he said.
It could break Boston's all-time snowstorm record of 27.6 inches, set in 2003, forecasters said. The storm also comes almost 35 years to the day after the blizzard of '78, a ferocious storm that dropped 27 inches of snow, packed hurricane-force winds and claimed dozens of lives.
Masters said the region could get a break from warmer air trailing behind that is expected to push temperature up to the 40s by Monday.
"It's going to be not that difficult to dig out, compared to maybe some other nor'easters in the past, where it stayed cold after the storm went through," he said.
Drivers were urged to stay off the streets lest their cars get stuck, preventing snowplows and emergency vehicles from getting through. New York City ran extra commuter trains to help people get home before the brunt of the storm hit.
Amtrak stopped running trains in cities around the Northeast on Friday afternoon. Airlines canceled more than 4,300 flights through Saturday, and New York City's three major airports and Boston's Logan Airport shut down.
Interstate 95 was closed to all but essential traffic in Rhode Island, where the governor said outages remained the biggest threat.
"With tree branches laden with heavy, wet snow, the winds picking up and the temperatures plunging all at the same time, it's a bad combination," Gov. Lincoln Chafee said.
In Massachusetts, Gov. Deval Patrick enacted a statewide driving ban for the first time since the blizzard of 1978. Hours before the ban went into effect at 4 p.m., long lines formed at gas stations, some of which were almost out of fuel.
James Stone said he was saving the remaining regular gas at his station in Abington, south of Boston, for snowplow drivers.
"It hasn't snowed like this in two years," Stone said. "Most people are caught way off-guard."
The snow was too much of a good thing in some places. In New Hampshire, the University of Connecticut's Skiing Carnival was canceled because of the snowstorm. In Maine, the National Toboggan Championships in Camden were postponed from Saturday to Sunday, and the Camp Sunshine Polar Plunge was put off until March.
At Rosie's Liquors in Abington, customers were lined up eight to 10 deep Friday, snapping up rum, wine and 30-packs of beer.
"We've been absolutely slammed. It's almost been like Christmas here," manager Kristen Brown said. "A lot of people are saying, `I'm going to be stuck with my family all weekend. I need something to do."'MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Target is bringing in an outsider as its CEO for the first time as the retailer fights...

text: Best International Apps Foreign Finds: 6 Cool Apps Created Overseas by Emily Co 8/31/12 13 Reactions 14 Shares Print 0 5 7 2 0 If you're a frequent browser of the best-selling apps on the US iTunes charts, why not take a look at what's hot in other countries? You may be missing out on some of the coolest apps around if you're not exploring new global territory. After all, Angry Birds airs from Finland, and there are still other foreign gems to be unearthed. Click on to see a handful you may not know about. WeChat What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Although Silicon Valley-based WhatsApp ($1) is more popular in the US, China-based WeChat, a free texting app, blows it right out of the water. WhatsApp seems outdated compared to WeChat's graphics, user interface, and add-on features. Designed by Tencent, the app provides users not just with free text messaging but also with the ability to send voice texts and video chat. There are even Instagram-like photo filters so you can tweak photos before sending them, and you can also use a GPS-enabled location sharer that shares where you are on Google maps with your friends, making it great for meeting up. Another awesome perk to WeChat is the social aspect, including a "moments" section that acts as a Facebook feed. You get to share statuses, songs, pictures, and more with your WeChat contacts. Another win for WeChat is that you can sync with Facebook and find contacts, beyond the contacts in your phone. 1 / 6 Pick What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sick of Instagram? Check out Pick, a free photo app created by the Japanese arm of Korean company Naver, which is touted as the Google of Korea. It has way more filters and frames than Instagram and a plethora of stamps to pick from. You can add in words and graphics like sunglasses or anime eyes to spice up your photos. 2 / 6 Adrian James 6 Pack Abs Workout What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Is it the David Beckham effect? We're not sure, but the Adrian James 6 Pack Abs Workout app ($1) is one of the top 40 best sellers in the UK's iTunes store. Adrian James is a known fitness model who launched his own company, Six Pack Productions, to create this popular fitness app. Watch James demonstrate certain fitness moves and share sample meal plans. There is also a lite version that's free if you want to test it out. 3 / 6 Billy the Painter What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Looking for a fun and artful new game? Check out Billy the Painter ($1), created by Finnish firm Lipasto Games. The goal is to paint certain areas of the floor of an old factory and not spill paint onto the rest, but what's especially cool about this game is that it's set in the 1920s, with retro graphics. 4 / 6 McPixel What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Designed by Polish indie app designer Sos, the app McPixel ($3) has 100 levels for anyone looking for a challenging and hilarious game. Apparently, you have to "save the day" by preventing things from blowing up, using available tools in creative and random ways. For example, filling up a bucket with coffee and drinking it (don't ask). But better hurry, you only have 20 seconds before an explosion. There is also a free lite version of the game to try before you buy. 6 / 6 Sleep Talk Recorder What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sleep Talk Recorder ($1) is an app created by a Swedish app maker called MadinSweden. Basically, it monitors your sleep, and the recorder is triggered when you start talking or making noises. You can then save those sound clips and have them automatically organized in a timeline for easy access to figure out what's interrupting your slumber. 6 / 6 0 5 7 2 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More iPhone AppsiPhoneDigital Life digital life Behold, the Diverse Emoji You've Always Wanted 11 hours ago No Big Deal — This Cooler Has Raised More Than $7 Million on Kickstarter 17 hours ago How the Internet Helped a Birthday Boy With Cancer Get His Wish 20 hours ago 15 Signs You Need a Netflix Intervention 21 hours ago 1 Tweet Was All It Took to Get This Family Kicked Off a Flight 22 hours ago Meet Your Favorite New Website: The Nostalgia Machine 23 hours ago Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Another list for TC
TRAVERSE CITY — Livability.com has named Traverse City among its Top 10 Best Winter Vacation Destinations.
The national website listed Traverse City as number four behind Anchorage, Alaska, Spokane, Wash. and Minneapolis, Minn.
"We chose cities that offer the amenities tourists look for — good, local and independent restaurants, a thriving arts scene, nightlife, shopping and plenty of outdoor recreation opportunities," said Livability.com spokesman John Hood.
The website said Traverse City "has all the ingredients for a great winter vacation — a quaint downtown with beautiful views of Lake Michigan, microbreweries, restaurants, shops, performance venues and lots of snow."
"The area's nine microbreweries, brew pubs and craft beer taprooms helped Traverse City make it onto Draft magazine's list of newest 'Emerging Beer Towns,'" the website noted.
Others in the top 10 included Reno, Nev., Waukesha, Wisc., Missoula, Mont., Bangor, Maine, Concord, N.H. and Casper, Wyo.
Donations needed
CHARLEVOIX — The Retail Committee of the Charlevoix Chamber is sprucing up the town this holiday season by hanging fresh-cut garland and wreaths on the light posts along Bridge Street in the central shopping district. The live greens replace outdated, plastic wreaths that have hung from the lights in the past several years.
While the decorating has begun, the Chamber is still short of funds to cover expenses. Families, businesses and organizations are asked to donate $50 to sponsor an individual lamp post.
To become a sponsor, call 547-2101 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Prophetic Visions
|George Noory
|John Hogue, Joyce Riley
Nostradamus scholar John Hogue (hogueprophecy(1)) returned to the show as the main guest on Monday night.He discussed his new biography(2) of Nostradamus, which he said attempts to sort out the patchwork of myths and facts about the seer's life. One of Nostradamus quatrains offered a far-flung prediction: In the year 3797, the sun would have "a great conflagration that would devour the Earth," Hogue recounted.
Offering his own forecasts for the future, Hogue said he accesses his predictive powers via a Zen-like "effortless effort," which he first developed during voice training while singing Opera. He sees the time period of 2008-2009, as when major upheavals could occur, such as an explosion at Yellowstone and/or a major biochemical attack by terrorists. He also believes that this is a likely time frame for a war between China and Taiwan. On a more positive note, he said by 2015 the next generation of telescopes will be able to see signs of artificial light on neighboring worlds.
He predicts Bush will win a second term in 2004, though "I see a shadow over him," he said, which could portend a serious health problem or accident. While it will be a close race, he commented that the Democrats won't run a strong enough candidate to win. However he predicted that Hillary Clinton will run and probably win in 2008, with a campaign referencing the good old days of when the Clintons were previously in the White House. "Schwarzenegger will be President if he can pull off this test in California," Hogue added.

Gulf War II Illness
Monday's first hour guest, Gulf War Vets spokesperson Joyce Riley (gulfwarvets.com(1), gave an update on Gulf War II illnesses which she said bore similarities to Gulf War (I) Syndrome. She said there were a large number of soldiers with "non-hostile wounds" i.e. sickness not due to combat. Many of these cases were being called pneumonia, but Riley doubted this diagnosis. She suspects that exposure to depleted uranium and various vaccines could be what's making troops sick and in some cases dying.

Mozilla's "Do Not Track" Feature Gains Popularity
Mozilla announces two developments that bring its Do Not Track privacy feature in Firefox closer to being respected by industry.
"To provide users more choice and control over online behavioral tracking, it's essential that publishers and advertisers adopt and implement Web technologies that respect consumers' wishes to not be tracked across their Web properties and services," writes Alex Fowler on the Mozilla Blog. Prompting Fowler's post are two new developments that are helping to move the Do Not Track (DNT) privacy feature to become and industry standard. Those developments include the AP News Registry service implementing the DNT header across 800 news sites that service 175-million unique visitors each month and the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) is initiating a process to explore incorporating the DNT header, as proposed by Mozilla, into its Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising (OBA).
Fowler states that with the integration of the DNT into Firefox, users can now check a Do Not Track box in the Advanced screen in Firefox Options (PC) or Preferences (Mac) and when DNT is enabled, a signal sent via an HTTP header tells websites and third parties that the user wants to opt-out of online behavioral tracking.
Amber?Yeah, I caught that too...Maybe Amber is using the Vole's software and forgot all about the Penguin....
DNT implementation on websitesI wonder how one can make sure a website, claiming to respect the DNT option, actualy does that ?
And also to the write: This is a Linux magazine, so why not mention how to change the setting on a "Linux" Firefox ?

The Daily Star
---- — Right now, there are spring flowers blooming outside the window of my childhood bedroom.
I know this because it is mid-March. And in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where I grew up, spring rolls out in an orderly procession of blossoms that stretches uninterrupted from February through May.
As a kid, spring was my favorite season. The slow unfurling of it, heralding the end to months of the Pacific Northwest's signature gray, wet weather, was to me a season of unending joy. Each day, it seemed as though the world was more alive, more colorful and more vibrant. Even the rains that had before seemed dreary and oppressive took on a fresh and exciting quality.
I was shocked by my first spring in the Northeast. The season was unrecognizable, veering from snow one day to stifling heat the next, mixing in raw, wet, windy days that taught me the meaning of "mud season." I waited and waited for one of the verdant, fresh spring days of my youth, and they never came. So I concluded that spring was a bust, and set my sights elsewhere.
But after several years in this climate, I've developed more of an appreciation for this subtle season. While I still grit my teeth at the unpredictable chaos of weather, I have learned to look beyond the mud and dirty snow to see the true face of an upstate spring — to detect the subtle patterns amid the chaos.
I can't look out my window and see springtime writ large across the landscape. But I can see it in small glimpses. On the branches of the trees that I pass, once-bare branches are now bristling with small buds in fractal-like configurations that differ from one species to the next. And despite a woefully empty feeder, my front porch is once again being visited by a few hardy birds, who are stirring and singing again after a quiet winter.
As we all do, I have become acclimated, not only to the climate itself, but also to these signs of the changing season. But even as I do so, the world around me — around all of us — appears to be changing.
In January, while reporting on 2012's unusual (and warm) weather, The New York Times included the shocking statement that "nobody who is under 28 has lived through a month of global temperatures that fell below the 20th-century average, because the last such month was February 1985."
Locally, this trend brought spring to us earlier than usual last year — in a sense. Many plants budded out early, only to get nipped by a late-season frost. The apple trees on my property, which the year before had mounds of apples beneath them, bore only a handful of wizened fruits — a fate shared by many commercial growers across the state.
Climate change is a hotly disputed topic, but it would seem that many take what they see in their own communities as proof positive (or negative) of the bigger picture. After Superstorm Sandy hit New York City, Gov. Andrew Cuomo pointed to the record storm surges as evidence.
"There has been a series of extreme weather incidents," Cuomo said after the storm. "That is not a political statement, that is a factual statement ... Anyone who says there's not a dramatic change in weather patterns, I think is denying reality."
Cuomo's position is not a scientific one, and neither should we draw too many hard conclusions from only the data we can personally observe. After all, this year's upstate weather patterns have been fairly unremarkable. We've had some snow and some cold temperatures, but nothing shocking on either end of the spectrum. Should we take this to mean that last year's heat wave was a fluke? Or is this year the fluke, and last year part of a larger trend?
I don't know the answer, but I know there is something to be said for knowing your environment, and understanding what is typical and what is abnormal. As I look out my window at the slowly melting snow and see the light striking at a slightly different angle today, I know that spring is coming. After more than a decade in upstate New York, I have learned some of the signs of this season. And I have seen enough, even in that time, to know what is "normal" and what isn't.
But I fear that the chaos of recent weather patterns may in fact be the new normal. And I am sad to think that, no matter where I live, I may never again experience the orderly springs of my youth.

Lillian Miles Lewis wasn't one to seek the spotlight or attention.
But in her own quiet and dignified manner, she commanded it.
Friends and family and gathered at Ebenezer Baptist Church Monday, Jan. 7, to honor her legacy.
Mrs. Lewis, the wife of U.S. Rep. John Lewis (D-Atlanta), died New Year's Eve, 2012.
The two have been married for 44 years, after having been introduced to each other by Xernona Clayton Brady, a longtime friend and Civil Rights activist.
Though saddened by the loss of Mrs. Lewis, mourners wanted to celebrate her life and honor the legacy of a woman known for her fierce loyalty to family and friends, her dedication to the cause of Civil Rights and her sense of humor.
Brady recounted a story where Mrs. Lewis couldn't sleep and called her at midnight.
Brady got up early every day at 3 a.m. to go to her office, but wanted to help her friend of 50 years through her insomnia.
They talked for some two hours until Mrs. Lewis said she was sleepy and ready to go to bed.
Brady, by then, was fully awake and only an hour away from her normal wake time.
"I said, 'Lillian, what about me? What must I do," Brady recounted. "And she told me, 'just call the fire department and the police department because they're awake 24 hours a day."
The congregation erupted in laughter.
Too many people come into the world and simply take up space, Brady continued. "Lillian was born in this world but she enhanced her space."
Mrs. Lewis' nieces, Lori M. and Lisa M. Hobbs remembered their aunt as someone who always knew just the right words of comfort in a moment of crisis, the words of encouragement in times of doubt and was a voice of guidance against confusion.
"She embodied love and kindness," Lisa Hobbs said.
Her aunt loved bright colors, especially orange, her favorite. Vivid, bright colors, she said, were representative of her aunt's personality.
"She was the bright blue in the morning sky," Hobbs said.
"I learned a lot from Lillian," Christine King Farris, sister of slain Civil Rights leader the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said. "I will miss the great conversations and times that I shared with Lillian.
"Goodbye, farewell, my dear friend, Lillian."

The Tick Index for the week of July 25 through August 1, is:
The Fordham Tick Index is an estimate of the risk of being bitten by a nymphal or adult deer tick. Both of these stages are active at this time of year, although the smaller nymph is responsible for many more cases of Lyme disease. This index measures risk relative to other times of year. For more information about preventing tick bites, controlling ticks, Lyme disease and other illnesses ticks carry, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
The Fordham Tick Index is provided as a weekly public service by Fordham University and is based on both current and historical data from one site in Westchester County, N.Y. It is an estimate only. Actual risk may vary geographically. Therefore, always take precautions to prevent tick bites when outdoors.
Salivary proteins in ticks share many features with venomous proteins in scorpions, spiders, snakes, and bees. Not surprisingly, the vertebrate immune response to both tick saliva and venoms is similar. Fortunately, tick saliva has evolved a somewhat more benign effect on the recipient than snake venom.

Filling out personal information on my Facebook page a few years ago, I stared at the Political Views space for quite a while, trying to pull down words that would properly convey an outlook that defies common categories.
Right of nearly everyone I work with, left of nearly all family members is what I finally came up with.
Lets see. At 18, I registered as a Democrat because thats the only flavor they sold in West Virginia at the time. Republicans were as mythical as folks of other colors.
By the 1988 election, I had moved to North Carolina. I still laugh every time I remember that I was the only person in my entire Johnston County precinct who voted in the primary for the bow-tied Paul Simon.
When I moved to Wake County, I changed my registration to unaffiliated, though Im pretty sure there was a stretch in there when my card said Republican. Clearly, my party loyalty wins no prizes.
Perhaps its not surprising then that the Nolan chart survey I took this week put me firmly inside the centrist category. (Find it at www.nolanchart.com/survey.)
As such, on Tuesday I will go to vote in my eighth presidential election empty of any eagerness to mark a particular name on my ballot.
As is the case with many Americans, Ive never found a candidate who matched the majority of my leanings, forcing me to concentrate on one or two issues that are important to me and holding my nose on the rest.
Maybe thats why so many of us are unaffiliated. Fed up. Disillusioned. Or just happily and, compared with the screechers on the extremes, somewhat silently sitting in the middle.
Almost 1.7 million of North Carolinas 6.5 million voters are unaffiliated; in Wake and Mecklenburg counties, there are more unaffiliated voters than Republicans.
Jake Umstead, a senior at Broughton High School, is a new unaffiliated voter, though both of his parents are registered Democrats.
I dont really like either presidential candidate, Umstead said, noting that hell be voting for Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate. Ive got a lot of different viewpoints that neither party fulfills. Some are more important than others, so that keeps me from planting a flag on either side.
Jordan Worthen, another Broughton senior, also registered as unaffiliated.
My parents actually have opposite ideas of what they think should be going on in this election, so its a little funny to listen to them speak to it, but they never forced a certain view on me, she said. I registered as unaffiliated so I will be able to see both sides and learn.
I talked to several Broughton seniors this week, hoping their excitement at being first-time voters would wash away my weariness over the whole process and revive the wonder that our democracy in action should inspire.
It can be tempting sometimes just to skip that voting thing as you find yourself getting more cynical about motives and money and less sure that party-loyal politicians can work toward anything called progress.
In fact, 30 percent of North Carolinas registered voters stayed home in the hotly contested 2008 general election.
What Id have to say to people old enough to vote and dont is that people fought for the right, and its kind of a disrespect not to do it, Umstead said. Its not just a right. Its a civic duty as well.
Andrew Kot, who turned 18 on Monday, hopes to go to a military academy next year. His dad went to the Naval Academy; his brother is at the Air Force Academy.
Voting is the most important civic obligation I could use, Kot said. Thats the only power I have. Thats definitely why Im voting.
Almost 500,000 more North Carolinians have registered to vote this year. There were about 6 million registered Tar Heels on Jan. 7; on Saturday, that number was up to 6,517,150.
These young voters are leading the way. Participation in early voting this year is up 33 percent over 2008 as a whole but has increased almost 40 percent among those ages 18 to 24.
Mary Campbell Rouse, another Broughton senior, said her experience has been that her under-18 friends are disappointed that they cant vote.
In AP U.S. Gov., we studied the voting patterns about whos the most apathetic voters, and its people my age, Rouse said. But it seems like most of my peers are either excited about voting or wish they had the opportunity to vote. Its so weird to think some people think it doesnt matter.
Even with all of the ugliness, democracy is a beautiful thing, as these new adults know. On Tuesday, we may be divided, but lets wake up Wednesday united as Americans.

- About Deakin
A huge congratulations goes to Professor Ester Cerin from the School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences and the Centre for Physical Activity and Nutrition Research (C-PAN) on being awarded an ARC Future Fellowship.
This prestigious and highly sought-after Fellowship will provide four years of funding to Professor Cerin to investigate how community designs shape the physical activity of those in mid-to-late adulthood. The project aims to inform public policy and aid activity-friendly design by identifying the optimal mix of spatial distribution of destinations for active ageing, while taking into account factors that define ones ability and willingness to visit these destinations.
Deakins success rate of 33.3% in this round of ARC funding was well above the national average of 18% and was the highest success rate of any Victorian University.
The Faculty of Health is excited to announce a brand new course that will be offered from 2015 the Master of Child Play Therapy.
Child Play Therapy is a growing specialist area within the mental health and early childhood sectors. It is an evidence-based profession in which play is used as the medium to transform childrens lives when they have experienced abuse or trauma, have a developmental disorder, or are experiencing a mental health issue.
Deakin is the only university in Australia offering training in Child Play Therapy. This two-year master degree provides specialist training for health, welfare, and education professionals who work in community-based services with children and families who have experienced developmental, emotional, trauma or events that result in or comprise a mental health issue or concern.
Practitioners from the early childhood education field, and people currently working with children and families who have trained in the health and welfare professions such as occupational therapists, speech therapists, social workers, psychologists, paediatric and mental health nurses, creative arts therapists (e.g. music therapists and art therapists) will find this degree of interest. Basic prerequisites include experience working with children and families, and a relevant undergraduate degree.
Graduates will be eligible to become a Registered Play Therapist with the Australasia Pacific Play Therapy Association (APPTA).
Following the closing date for applications, short-listed applicants will be invited for interview. Only candidates deemed suitable at interview will be offered a place.
Deakin University invites you to visit our Nursing and Midwifery School to hear about our innovative postgraduate degrees at an information session on 9 September 2014.
Building BC, Level 2
Tuesday 9 September 56.30 pm
A short presentation will begin at 5.15 pm after light refreshments. There will be an opportunity to move to breakout rooms with course leaders to discuss specific courses and answer your questions.
We welcome prospective students, clinical educators associated with our programs or enquiring about potential collaborations, and current students (undergraduate and postgraduate) exploring further study opportunities.
To register your attendance at the information session, please email
firstname.lastname@example.com. If possible, an indication of which course interests you would assist us to plan an event that meets your needs.
For more information call 9244 6032.
Deakin health researchers have found that people who do not taste fat in food are more likely to overeat, adding weight to the growing body of research that points to a connection between fat taste and obesity.
The researchers, who work within the Centre for Physical Activity and Nutrition Research (C-PAN), have found that people who cant taste the fat in foods eat significantly more at lunch, after having a high fat breakfast, than those who can taste fat.
'These results suggest that the ability to taste fat is linked with the fullness experienced from fat', explained Deakins Professor Russell Keast.
He estimates that around 40 per cent of the population could be deemed insensitive to fat.
'Tasting fat is unconscious', he said. 'For our experiments, we used oleic acid, a common fatty acid component of fat, and discovered that obese people were much less likely to taste it.'
He added that researchers have not yet determined whether the reduced sensitivity comes from eating high proportions of fatty food, or because obese people are genetically less sensitive.

In response to the recent implementation of a ban on smoking on all Deakin University campuses, the School of Health and Social Development conducted a survey that asked respondents about their smoking behaviour and their attitudes to smoking and the new policy. The full results can be seen in the illustration below.
Dr Matthew Dunn, Senior Lecturer in Public Health was interviewed on Sydney radio station 2UE by Angela Catterns on Tuesday 29 April about the Australian Crime Commission's latest report on illicit drug use in Australia. The interview focused on the dramatic increase in performance and image enhancing drugs being detected at the Australian border. In 2012-2013, there were 10 356 detections of these substances, the highest number on record; overall, a record 86 918 national illicit seizures occurred during this period.
Has the war on drugs been won? Will it ever be won? Dr Dunn says that when you take one drug off the market, people will find others. Australia spends more money on policing drugs rather than reducing the harms.
The Centre for Physical Activity and Nutrition Research (C-PAN) had great success at the 2013 Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth) Awards held on Tuesday 3 December. C-PAN were finalists in two of the nine award categories, and won one of the awards.
Professor Kylie Ball, Professor David Crawford and Dr Sarah McNaughton, in partnership with the National Heart Foundation and Coles Supermarkets, received the VicHealth award for Promoting Healthy Eating. The award was presented by the Minister for Health, the Hon David Davis.
In addition, Professor Tony Worsley was a member of a team led by RMIT that was a finalist for the VicHealth award for Preventing Harm from Alcohol.

To assist States with the implementation of Article 9 and Part 3 of the Technical Annex, in 2009 the then Coordinator on Generic Preventive Measures, Colonel Jean-Christophe Le Roux of France, developed a questionnaire which serves as a checklist for States to consider when they are developing procedures, guidelines or regulations on the implementation of generic preventive measures. The checklist has been reproduced in full below. It can also be found in Protocol V document CCW/P.V/CONF/2010/6/Add.1, 11 November 2010. Essentially the checklist is a tool to facilitate the implementation of generic preventive measures. While it does not have any legal status, it is hoped that the checklist will clarify various issues, establish best practises and serve to monitor and improve the implementation of generic preventive measures at the national level.

I would like to donate my sperm. Where do I have to go to do this, and does it have to be in a cup or can i do it directly? No fat chicks.
Don't be a fucking ass turd and try again. I didn't hit 'no' by accident. Did it on purpose. Thanks and have a nice day.
Looking for a girl to have my babies. Not picky on the girl but she must be open minded. I was born without eyelids, missing a toe, half my ear is gone as it was eaten by a rabbit. My tongue is forked from an unusual government experiment that I can't go into legally. I am also packing an extra testicle so bonus on that front. Have a green eye and an orange eye. No idea how that...
Boobs are fun.

RALEIGH — It was a night of historical references Saturday as the Carolina Hurricanes topped the New Jersey Devils 6-3 at PNC Arena.
For the first time since March 2000, neither Cam Ward of the Canes nor Martin Brodeur was in net for a game between the two teams.
For the first time since April 2004, the Hurricanes had a player score a goal in his first NHL game.
Forward Chris Terry, called up Friday from the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL, made his NHL debut even more memorable with a second-period score that everyone agreed was a "goal-scorers goal."
Jiri Tlusty had a pair of goals and an assist, Alexander Semin a goal and two assists and Dan Ellis had a sharp game in goal for the Canes, but Terry was the one getting all the backslaps after the game. And the puck, as a keepsake.
Terry first whacked the puck away from defenseman Adam Larsson in front of the crease. He collected the puck, put a shot on net that goalie Johan Hedberg stopped, then stuffed the puck back through a fallen Hedberg.
"It was a pretty special moment," Terry said. "The first shift was nice. Big crowd and lot of excitement. I got my legs under me and was fortunate enough to find the back of the net.
"It was kind of a blur for me after I scored. I didnt know what to do. But it was definitely an exciting moment."
When the Hurricanes (14-9-1) followed up with a goal by Jeff Skinner, the lead had grown to 5-1. The sellout crowd that came out for Military Appreciation Night settled back to watch what many expected to be an easy win.
The Devils (11-9-5) didnt cooperate. Two nights after a comeback win over the Buffalo Sabres, the Devils picked up quick goals from Ilya Kovalchuk and Patrik Elias early in the third to make it a 5-3 game and force Canes coach Kirk Muller to use his timeout.
"Weve got a lot of young guys and were playing a team that just came off the Stanley Cup finals (last season)," Muller said. "They came after us with a playoff mentality and we just said, Hey, this is a learning experience again. We said, Settle down, lets go back to playing our game and increase the tempo.
"After that I thought we calmed down and got playing again and pulled it off for a big win."
It took a terrific save from Ellis to keep everything calm. With a little less than seven minutes left in regulation, Ellis lunged to his left to get his glove on a shot by the Devils Tom Kostopoulos, a former Hurricanes forward.
Ellis, who has been recovering from the flu, finished with 31 saves. He did it after cramping, after needing an IV after the second period.
Kovalchuk beat Ellis glove-side on a breakaway for a shorthanded goal in the first. His second came when the puck bounced off the skate of Canes defenseman Justin Faulk, who had a tough night, and the Elias goal was on a long redirection.
"They did a good job of getting pucks deep and then working a strong cycle," Ellis said of the Devils third-period push. "They got the puck up to the point, they moved it east and west. Thats a little more of their game.
"We were able to capitalize early and give ourselves a good enough cushion so that we could handle something like that in the third."
Semin scored a power-play goal in the first for a 1-0 lead, and defenseman Jay Harrison jumped into the rush to score later in the period. Tlustys first goal came early in the second period off the rush, on a nice pass from Semin, and his second on a strong move in the final two minutes for an empty-net score.
Skinner, who had assisted on Harrisons goal, tipped the puck past Hedberg, who was lifted for Jeff Frazee after the second.
Skinner was happy for Terry, 23, who played 290 AHL games before getting his first look in the NHL. Terry, whose parents and sister were at the game, was the first Canes player to score in his debut since Brad Fast against Florida on April 4, 2004.
"Everyone would say you dont forget your first goal," Skinner said.
The Hurricanes, rebounding from a 4-2 loss Thursday against Montreal, continue to lead the Southeast Division with 24 games left.
"Its where we finish, not necessarily how we get there," Harrison said. "Its about winning the winnable games and getting the points when you can."

January 31, 2013
Police have released the 911 tapes from a Charlottesville Kroger store where a man walked in with an assault rifle over the weekend.
Police believe the man was trying to make a statement about The Second Amendment.
The man with the rifle did not harm anyone, but several people called 911.
This is what a store employee said to a 911 operator:
Caller: We had somebody walk in with an assault rifle
911: OK, what are they doing?
Caller: Uh, they went to their car, came back in with an assault rifle and are walking around the store
911: OK, can you describe him for me?
Caller: No I can't. I had it reported to me by a customer.
911: So, do you know if it's a male, female?
Caller: It's a male. She said a man just walked in here with an assault rifle.
911: OK, is he threatening anybody?
Caller: Uh, not yet.
911: Not yet? What do you mean by not yet?
Caller: I mean, we haven't heard of anything yet, no.
The unidentified man is not facing any charges. Police say he had a license for the weapon.
