The Hotel
A spectacular new hotel by the multi award-winning Kalara group, Code blends cutting edge architectural style with exceptional levels of comfort; making it the ideal choice for the discerning traveller. Set on the luxurious island of Koh Samui, guests can enjoy all the fantastic facilities one would expect to find in a five-star setting, including a breathtaking infinity pool, state of the art gym, steam room, spa, restaurant, barbeque area with a bar and pool table, and sweeping tennis courts. Boasting an awe inspiring panoramic ocean view across the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Siam, guests easily spot the popular islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Tao from their private balconies. Each Code suite is impeccably appointed and custom-designed to provide guests with the highest level of uber-chic and modern luxury; a further indication for Code winning several design awards for both 2011 and 2012. Best described as flawless, the stunning Code boutique resort is second to none.
Koh Samui
While guests may spend the majority of their time soaking up the sun in the breathtaking infinity pool, or freeing up tension with a glorious massage at CinnamonSpa, exploring the island of Koh Samui is a must. The home of luxurious five and six-star resorts, Koh Samui boasts a pristine international standard golf course in close proximity to Code, and the legendary celebrity hangout called Nikki Beach Club is a mere 15-minute drive from the hotel. Set against a backdrop of tropical beaches, coconut groves and heavenly, natural scenery, the island also boasts some of the region's finest restaurants and world-class destination spas. As one of the most popular and sophisticated resort islands in Thailand, your Koh Samui retreat guarantees an experience you won't soon forget.
If Steve Jobs had designed any hotel this is what it would look like! The staff were extremely accommodating - unlike other high-end hotels; the beach was like paradise, the food in the restaurant- sublime, the only downside was that we couldn't stay for longer.

Livy Tractor
I've done an internet search and have that info, but wondered if anyone on the Forum has one, knows anything about these or their value. They were made from about 1950-1955 by the CM Livingston Co in Tulsa, OK. It has a rear mounted B and S engine, with a single, centered, square tube frame beam from front to back.
Thanks, Bob

I think Bob meant to say front-mounted engine, judging from the tire tread and the way the seat is facing.
But assuming the small wheels are in the rear, it's peculiar to have no hitch.

Re: Livy Tractor
Can't help with additional information. Did check my two reference catalogs.
"Standard Catalog of Farm Tractors" shows the company, but no useful information.
"Hot Line Farm Equipment Guide" does not show any listing for the company or tractor. So, guessing, quite rare.

Dennis, My description was wrong. The one I saw didn't have the seat mounted on it and I didn't study it close enough to see which way it mounted. Sorry.

Re: Livy Tractor
It appears to be an articulating? (bends in the middle) tractor. It looks like there may be a pivot where the rear tube connects to the main power unit. I do not think that with that set up pulling anything very heavy with a rear hitch would be practical, it would tend to pull you sideways in a turn.

Re: Livy Tractor
Never see one. The about '50-'55 dates come from Wendell's garden tractor book. Here is all I have otherwise.
The tractors pictured appear to be 2 different models, or at least different versions.
The C in CM Livingstion stand for Charles. Evidently the company operated under the name "CM Livingston Aluminum Foundry", at least prior to intoduction of these things.
The 1948 I&T Red Tractor Book does not list it. The 1949-1950 edition shows one with a round tube frame like the one with the nice green paint. The 1951-1952 edition shows a walk-behind model called the "5HP", pictures of which can be found on the web.

Albuquerque's Nob Hill district largely owes its emergence as the city's first "suburb" to Route 66, the great Mother Road which carried Americans westward. Because of Route 66, the Nob Hill area has been, since before World War II, a thriving residential community replete with restaurants, motels, a modern movie theater, pharmacies and restaurants. Today it remains the city's cultural heart and, thanks to the preservation of Route 66 era architecture, retains much of the charm that captivated west bound sojourners.
New tenants such as Zinc Wine Bar & Bistro which launched in 2003 hold court in well preserved brick buildings and seem completely at home. Antique mirrors, distressed wood floors, stained glass and warm colors coalesce with intoxicating aromas to make this classy bistro one of the city's best launches (and lunches) of the new millennium. The French rotisserie, visible from the main floor and the open mezzanine above, turns out some of the best meals in the city.
While considered a premium fine dining destination, Zinc's generous portions are comparatively value priced–your bill may approach three figures, but you'll feel you got your money's worth. Meals are well paced with appetizers and entrees brought to your table at seemingly prescribed intervals that allow you to savor and reflect on the quality of the former without pining for the latter. Portion sizes are reasonable–generous, but not profuse.
There are nearly as many floor levels at Zinc as there are layers of flavor in some of its terrific food. There's a downstairs bar with a lighter menu, a street-level dining room and a mezzanine floor that provides perhaps the best vantage point of any floor. Comfortable spacing between tables is available at all three levels.
Zinc is the brainchild of twin brothers Kevin and Keith Roessler, two veteran restaurateurs who also own Season's Rotisserie & Grill on the northern outskirts of Old Town. They also own Savoy, a Swanky fine-dining restaurant launched in 2007 in Albuquerque's Northeast Heights. The menu at Zinc seems to be a fusion of eclectic American comfort food with departures into New Mexican and French cuisine. The menu is inventive and inspired with something for everyone, including a nice selection of vegetarian entrees.
The clientele isn't quite as eclectic as the menu. At any given meal, you'll see young urban professionals climbing the ladder and more seasoned and affluent diners who have already ascended to or near the top of the ladder. Most will order wine with their dinner and will linger in conversation long after their meal is over.
The wait staff is attentive without hovering and informative without being pedantic. They are well-versed in their craft and capable of clearly describing the nuances of the restaurant's menu. Their recommendations don't necessarily lean toward the most expensive items on the menu.
One item everyone at Zinc recommends are the crispy duck confit eggrolls served with peanut curry and chile-lime dipping sauces. The duck is amazingly tender, the result of slow-cooking. It is wrapped in a won-ton type wrapper and is sliced diagonally (giving it the appearance of four egg rolls). Other components of this delicious appetizer are ginger, mushrooms, sesame oil, scallions, chopped peanuts. soy sauce, spinach and carrots though it is the duck itself that will win you over. These are easily among the best egg rolls in the city and are outstanding even without the dipping sauces. The peanut curry sauce stands out. It's entirely unlike and better than the peanut sauce served with satay at most Thai restaurants. Unlike the Thai peanut sauce, it's not cloying. It's a savory sauce with a piquant punch to it.
Another excellent value appetizer are the two pounds of steamed Maine black mussels for only ten dollars. Bathed in a basil-chardonnay broth and crowned with colorful julienne vegetables, these mussels are top tier. You'll want to sop up the broth with the restaurant's wonderful hard-crusted yet yeasty bread. The mussels are available for both lunch and dinner and are a bargain at ten dollars, a price that's been retained for several years.
Lest I forget, the complementary basket of bread is among the city's best. I believe the bread is made by Albuquerque's Fano Bakery, one of the very best bread-making companies in the state and a purveyor of artisan style rustic and specialty breads. It's the type of bread you could eat by the loaf–with or without butter. The butter served at Zinc is soft and smooth for easy spreading. During Saturday and Sunday brunch, the bread plate may include croissants and scones. The wait staff will replenish them happily.
Lamb is certainly a specialty at Zinc and is accented with seasonal touches. The grilled lamb loin Mignon, available in the fall and winter menu, for example, is accompanied by a chorizo-sweet potato tart topped with a goat cheese bechamel, contrasting elements which bring out each others best qualities. A cleanly simple winter vegetable melange–baby asparagus, carrots, roasted onions–is perfectly prepared, so good even finicky children would love it. The lamb loin, prepared at medium rare, sits on a puddle of pomegranate demi glace, an ever-so-slightly tangy sauce with a lightly lacquered texture which couples so well with the lamb that they rhapsodize on your taste buds with a subtle medley of flavors you'll remember long after your meal. The lamb has none of the gaminess for which lamb is often disdained.
If you want something more lively, the seared flank steak Au Poivre will invigorate your taste buds with a pronounced black peppercorn taste. A nine-ounce steak seared in a cast iron pan, it is served with buttermilk mashed potatoes, fried mushrooms and onions, all of which are wonderful. Steak Au Poivre is a staple at French brasseries throughout the country (both France and the United States), but is sometimes prepared with an excess of pepper, making it a bit acerbic. At Zinc, it is perfectly prepared so that the peppercorn taste complements, not dominates, the flavor profile. It is served with an espagnole sauce, a veal stock roux reduction sometimes called one of the "mother sauces" of classic French cooking.
Sunday brunch is an event worth getting up for at Zinc. The menu is only somewhat abbreviated, including more dining options than just about any brunch menu in town. The dulcet tones of soothing guitar music playing soft and low may just make the rest of the world seem so far away and small. An eye-opening roasted chicken and cashew salad is a great way to start. This superstar salad features sugar snap peas, sweet n' sour red onions and baby carrots mixed with field greens and a sharp Maytag blue dressing that emboldens the salad. It's one of several inventive and delicious salad options available for brunch.
Zinc's pecan-crusted chicken and chorizo relleno, a unique rendition of the traditional New Mexican stuffed chile pepper, is also one of the state's very best. A baked poblano is engorged with cream cheese, Asadero cheese, chicken breast and crumbled sausage then topped with a fried egg sunny and covered with a wonderfully smoky and piquant Ancho chile sauce. Ancho chiles are essentially dried poblanos which may surprise some considering poblanos have a very mild flavor, barely registering on the Scoville scale. Ancho chiles, on the other hand, can have significant heat and a pungent, smoky, wonderful flavor. More restaurants should employ this very diverse and very delicious chile.
Also worth getting up for is Zinc's house-made pork sausage patty (a carnivore's dream), which along with the sausage served at the San Marcos Cafe, may be the best sausage in New Mexico. It's got the perfect balance of piquant bite and savory flavor sausage lovers appreciate. The sausage is available on several brunch entrees, including an amazing array of surprisingly good New Mexican dishes that for some reason aren't available on the lunch or dinner menu. That's a shame because if Zinc focused exclusively on New Mexican food, it would be in rarefied company with the very best New Mexican restaurants in the state.
Zinc's fresh ground angus burger, while inflating my waistline, deflated my opinion of Zinc only slightly. Attended by apple smoked bacon, Gruyere cheese, a green chile-Dijonnaise mayo on potato bread Kaiser, the burger is prodigious in size but not quite as big on flavor. The burger's prevalent tastes are the bread which has the consistency of a toasted bagel (meaning it's tough to chew) and the beef itself which was charred on the outside and pink in the middle. We were hard-pressed to discern any taste of the mayo or even the cheese. That I didn't love this burger may be an anomaly because it's the only thing on Zinc's menu that hasn't impressed me.
More than making up for the burger are Zinc's baked chicken and chorizo sausage enchiladas topped with two eggs over easy and red chile then finished with sour cream, guacamole and breakfast potatoes. Wow! If you're expecting "gringo" chile, you're in for a pleasant and piquant surprise. This is red chile with bite! It's also delicious–perfectly seasoned and wholly sans cumin. It's better–and more piquant–red chile than you'll find at 80 to 90 percent of the New Mexican restaurants in the Duke City.
Our waitress told us that some visiting tourists can't handle its heat and send it back. What a shame they don't have the heat tolerance of New Mexicans. What a shame that they miss out on enchiladas engorged with absolutely delicious chorizo sausage and baked chicken. Perhaps more to their heat tolerance level would be Zinc's rendition of stuffed sopaipillas which aren't served with chile. Instead, two puffy sopaipillas are filled with lemon-blueberry custard then finished with Bosque Farms BeeSweet honey drizzle.
If you love lip-puckering lemon with real blueberries, this is the dessert for you. If you love real honey, you'll love BeeSweet and you'll lament the fact that far too many New Mexican restaurants fill their squeeze bottles with "sopaipilla syrup," the honey flavored syrup that pales in comparison to real honey.
Another fabulous dessert is the chevre cheesecake tart made with a honey granola crust branded with the letter "Z" (and probably not for Zorro). Rivulets of ruby port gastrique and fig preserves provide terrific contrasts to the sweet, creamy cheesecake. On the side of this dish is honeycomb, the pure essence of honey sweetness that's better than any candy.
Zinc upholds the Nob Hill tradition and has itself become a destination worthy of the Mother Road. It's a Santa Fe quality restaurant in the Duke City.

Staff Writer
---- — BOXFORD — Firefighters tackled a large brush fire on Middleton Road yesterday afternoon, but the effort to completely extinguish it was expected to last into today.
The Fire Department responded to the area of 94 Middleton Road after a resident reported coming across a fire while out for a walk about 2 p.m., said fire Chief Kerry Stickney.
Stickney called the fire "sizeable" and said it probably covered about eight to 10 acres. Firefighters initially hit the edges of the blaze so it wouldn't spread further.
The site was expected to smolder overnight, as continuing to work on it in the dark would be too dangerous, Stickney said. The fire did not extend or threaten any structures, and there were no injuries.
Stickney said firefighters would return to the location this morning and that the fire had likely been burning for a while before it was spotted.
"I have a funny feeling it was going sometime yesterday," he said, meaning Tuesday.
It was unknown how the blaze began.

Sorry to disappoint, but we won't be highlighting Will Smith's hot single from his 1998 solo album, Big Willie Style in this post. Although, I guess 'dancing' may be involved somewhat…
This post's title is actually referring to an ice fishing technique that can be used by an angler to successfully target and catch a variety of freshwater fish through the ice.
Jigging(def.) (verb): Is the manual movement of an ice anglers rod up and down in a repetitive movement which imparts enticing action to the presentation at the end of an ice anglers line thus attracting fish. In essence, that action causes the fishermen's bait to…Dance!
Jigging large presentations in an aggressive fashion is often an efficient way to cover a specific area of the lake quickly in search of active fish.
I'm often asked, "Why do you have multiple rods with you on the ice when you can generally only jig in one hole at a time?".
There's a specific jigging technique I use on finicky fish called the "bait-n-switch" and it requires more than one rod rigged with a variety of baits.
When first dropping into a hole, I'll typically begin 'pounding' a larger profile bait like a Buckshot Rattle Spoon or a Jigging Rapala on a 28-30" medium action jigging rod through the water column.
I'll keep one eye on my Vexilar flasher unit waiting for fish to be drawn in for a look at the offering. Once fish show themselves on my unit, I will quickly reel that bait up the hole and immediately grab another rod rigged with a considerably smaller profile Spoon, Rap, or Ice Jig on a 26-28″ medium-light action rod and deploy it right back to that fish or school of fish.
The larger bait jigged aggressively is used to attract or 'bait' the fish or school of fish into investigating and the smaller bait does the catching of the reluctant feeders.
When targeting a school of walleye, perch, crappies, or bluegills, using the 'Bait-n-Switch' jigging technique can be an entertaining and exciting way to fish…AND make no mistake, it's a bit of a workout as well! Constantly jigging your bait, promptly reeling up, switching, dropping, and catching all in vigorous fashion will certainly keep you warm on the ice!
Who knows???
The success it brings might make you want to jump off your 5 gallon bucket and…DANCE!

Mineral Wells Index
By CHRIS AGEE
Mineral Wells police officers were dispatched to the 3000 block of N.E. 2nd Street Friday in reference to a stolen gun.
Authorities later recovered the firearm but the suspect remained at large as of Monday, according to reports.
A complainant told police the incident began with the proposed sale of a firearm, noting he showed the gun to the suspect and laid it down momentarily to retrieve a bill of sale for the purchase.
When the complainant returned, he reported both the gun and the suspect were gone.
Officers located an automobile matching the description of the suspect's vehicle and initiated a traffic stop, police said.
When officers approached the vehicle, though, reports indicate the driver was no longer inside.
According to police, investigators later received information the suspect might be in a local residence and officers quickly responded to that address.
Police arrived in time to see an individual believed to be the suspect fleeing from the rear of the home, a MWPD spokesperson added.
Upon a search of the home, officers were able to locate a firearm matching the description of the one stolen from the N.E. 2nd Street location.

Basketball brought Kevin Durant a summer of extremes.
Just weeks after sobbing with his mother and father after his Oklahoma City Thunder lost their fourth straight game against Miami to come up short in the NBA Finals, Durant was celebrating a gold medal with Team USA in London.
Now he has try to rally an even younger Thunder team back to the finals in a bid for a different ending.
The three-time NBA scoring champion says he thought last year was supposed to be Oklahoma City's year after beating Western Conference powers Dallas, San Antonio and the Los Angeles Lakers just to get to the NBA Finals.
The Thunder play their final preseason game in Wichita tonight.

The Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) program was established to address the unique transportation challenges faced by welfare recipients and low-income persons seeking to obtain and maintain employment. Many new entry-level jobs are located in suburban areas, and low-income individuals have difficulty accessing these jobs from their inner city, urban, or rural neighborhoods. In addition, many entry level-jobs require working late at night or on weekends when conventional transit services are either reduced or non-existent. Finally, many employment related-trips are complex and involve multiple destinations including reaching childcare facilities or other services.
If you have any questions about the program, please contact Todd Dorcas with the Division of Public Transit at: (304) 558-0428 Monday through Friday
9 AM to 5 PM or by E-mail at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

[last updated and archived December 14, 2000] We welcome your feedback and questions: e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
Lawsuits and Documents
The Florida recount unleashed a veritable blizzard of lawsuits, opinions, orders and letters. This annotated collection is selective, and is designed to highlight major developments in the leading cases (for additional documents, see the institutional links indicated, or click here). All key documents included are in PDF format unless otherwise indicated, and require the Adobe Acrobat Reader.Federal Courts (U.S. Supreme Court, 11th Circuit, District Court)
The Bush Campaign and certain Florida voters assert that the Florida recount raises constitutional issues within the jurisdiction of the federal courts.
Request for U.S. Supreme Court stay and review of the December 8, 2000 ruling of the Florida Supreme Court in Gore v. Harris (see below) holding that manual recounts should resume. On December 12, 2000, in a split decision which effectively ended the recount controversy and ensured George W. Bush's status as President-elect, the Court reversed the Florida Supreme Court and remanded the case for final order and certification.
Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing Board
Request for U.S. Supreme Court review of the November 21, 2000 ruling of the Florida Supreme Court in Palm Beach County Canvassing Board v. Harris, (see below) holding that hand recounts may continue. The Supreme Court granted certiorari and heard oral arguments on December 1. On December 3, it issued a per curiam Opinion vacating the Order of the Florida Supreme Court and remanding the case to that court for further proceedings.
In this case (and Touchston, see below) the plaintiffs asserted equal protection and other constitutional violations stemming from the ongoing manual recounts. A federal district court judge and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit both declined to issue an injunction to halt the recounts. The 11th Circuit noted that the primary responsibility for the election rested with the State of Florida and its courts. The United States Supreme Court denied certiorari from the injunction ruling on November 24, 2000. The 11th Circuit heard oral argument on the merits on December 5, 2000 and handed down its Opinion on December 6, 2000, affirming the denial of the injunctions.
Harris et al. v. State of Florida Election Canvassing Commission et al.
As Medina v. Florida Election Canvassing Commission, this suit originally revolved around the counting of absentee ballots that were not received by election day, as Florida statute alledgedly requires. The case was later removed to the U.S. District Court (Florida Northern), where it was joined with Harris v. Florida Elections Canvassing Commission. On December 9, 2000, Judge Maurice Paul ruled against the plaintiffs, finding no basis for rejecting the ballots in state or federal law.
The Bush Campaign sued the Hillsborough County Canvassing Board for rejecting overseas undated and unpostmarked absentee ballots (including military ballots). On December 8, 2000, Judge Lacey Collier refused to order the inclusion of undated ballots, but said that rejection of ballots for lack of a postmark only was contrary to federal law.
This lawsuit alleged that Republican VP candidate Cheney's August trip to Wyoming to register to vote in that state was insufficient to make him an "inhabitant" of Wyoming and no longer an inhabitant of Texas. The Twelfth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides a state's electors may not vote for a President and Vice President if both are inhabitants of the same state with themselves. On December 1, U.S. District Court Judge Sidney Fitzwater, sitting in Dallas, ruled that the plaintiffs lacked standing to pursue this claim and went on to rule that Mr. Cheney cannot be considered an inhabitant of Texas, given his "intent that Wyoming be his place of habitation." On December 7, 2000 the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Judge Fitzwater in an oral ruling from the bench.
State Courts (Florida Supreme Court, Circuit Court, County Court)
The Florida state courts are responsible for interpreting Florida election law.
The Gore Campaign contested the certified returns and sought manual recounts in three Florida counties: Miami-Dade, Nassau and Palm Beach. After an adverse ruling at trial from Judge N. Sanders Sauls, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that manual recounts should resume. The Bush Campaign immediately sought stays from various courts, and certiorari from the U.S. Supreme Court. The Florida Supreme Court and the U.S. 11th Circuit declined to issue stays, but the U.S. Supreme Court issued a stay mid-afternoon on Saturday, December 9, and scheduled oral arguments in Bush v. Gore (see above) for Monday, December 11, 2000. On December 12, 2000, in a split decision, the U.S. Supreem Court reversed the Florida Supreme Court and remanded the case back to that Court for further proceedings consistent with its order.
Jacobs v. Seminole County Canvassing Board et al.
This suit was initially filed by a voter in Seminole County challenging allegedly unlawful assistance given by county election officials to Republican workers who added missing information to absentee ballot applications; it sought disqualification of some 10,000 absentee ballots cast in that county and counted in the Secretary of State's certification. The case was refiled as an election contest and was heard by Florida Circuit Court Judge Nikki Clark; on December 8, 2000, she ruled that despite ballot application irregularities, the election results would stand and no ballots would be set aside. The Supreme Court of Florida upheld her ruling on appeal on December 12, 2000.
Taylor v. Martin County Canvassing Board et al.
This suit challenges the legality of absentee ballots in Martin County which were partially filled in by Republican workers. On December 8, 2000, Judge Terry Lewis ruled that despite ballot application irregularities, the election results would stand and no ballots would be set aside. The Supreme Court of Florida upheld his ruling on appeal on December 12, 2000.
Brown et al. v. Stafford et al.
This suit is an election contest brought by Duval County voters and the Rev. Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition against the members of the Duval County Canvassing Board, alleging that due to the form of the ballot used in Duval County, many voters were effectively denied their right to vote.
Gore v. Miami-Dade County Canvassing Board
When the Canvassing Board of Miami-Dade County stopped its manual recount on November 23, 2000, the Gore Campaign filed suit for an Order to have it resumed. The Florida Supreme Court refused to issue such an Order. The Gore Campaign subsequently indicated that, under Florida law, it would contest the election in Miami-Dade County (see Gore v. Harris, supra).
Bush v. Bay County Canvassing Board et al.
The Bush Campaign brought an action to ensure counting of overseas military ballots previously rejected on technicalities. After Leon County Circuit Court Judge L. Ralph Smith, Jr. expressed scepticism about the Bush arguments, the Campaign voluntarily withdrew its suit on November 26, 2000, claiming that the 14 Florida counties named in it were already in "substantial agreement" with the Bush position and so it was not necessary to proceed.
Palm Beach County Canvassing Board v. Harris [later consolidated with McDermott, infra]
In response to the Palm Beach Canvassing Board's request for guidance in the face of conflicting legal opinions on the permissiblity of conducting a full manual recout, the Florida Supreme Court authorized the County to proceed with its manual recount. On November 17, the Court barred the Secretary of State from certifying the election results pending oral arguments on Monday, November 20. On November 21, 2000, the Court ruled that manually-recounted votes must be included in the final certified tallies. The Bush Campaign appealed to the United States Supreme Court (see Bush v. Palm Beach Canvassing Board, above), which on December 3, 2000, issued a Opinion vacating the Order of the Florida Supreme Court and remanding the case back to it for further proceedings. That Court issued its Order on Remand on December 11, 2000.
McDermott v. Harris [now consolidated with Palm Beach County Canvassing Board v. Harris, supra]
This case challenged the Florida Secretary of State's authority to refuse to accept recounted returns after the putative November 14 deadline. On Friday November 17, Judge Terry Lewis ruled that the Secretary, on the limited evidence available, acted within her discretion in declining to include late-filed returns. Before the Secretary of State could certify the Florida returns, however, the Florida Supreme Court issued a stayed pending consideration of the Palm Beach Canvassing Board case (above).
Harris v. Circuit Judges of the 11th, 15th & 17th Judicial Circuits of Florida
The Florida Supreme Court denied the request by Florida's Secretary of State to halt manual recounts and consolidate the various pending lawsuits.
Florida Democratic Party v. Carroll [to compel manual recount in Broward County]
The following cases were launched in Palm Beach County; several were later consolidated:
In this action Judge Jorge Labarga of the Florida Circuit Court in Palm Beach County was asked to rule on the standards for recounting ballots in Palm Beach, and especially on the appropriateness of considering "dimpled chads" in manually-recounted votes. On November 22, 2000 Judge Labarga ruled that ballots of this type could not be summarily excluded from the recount.
When American voters go to the polls to vote for president, many believe that they are participating in a direct election of the president. Technically, this is not the case, due to the existence of the electoral college, established in Article II, Section I, of the U.S. Constitution.
The electoral college is the name given a group of "electors" who are nominated by political activists and party members within the states. On election day these electors, pledged to one or another candidate, are popularly elected. In December following the presidential vote the electors meet in their respective state capitals and cast ballots for president and vice president. To be elected, a president requires 270 electoral votes.
In recent history, the electors have never cast their ballots against the winner of the popular vote. For all intents and purposes, the electoral college vote, which for technical reasons is weighted in favor of whoever wins the popular election, increases the apparent majority of the winning candidate and lends legitimacy to the popular choice. It is still possible, however, that in a close race or a multiparty race the electoral college might not cast 270 votes in favor of any candidate — in that event, the House of Representatives would choose the next president.

Just in time for Father's Day, the news has hit that Kate Middleton hopes to make Prince William a father by next summer. Perhaps the Duke of Cambridge will celebrate his first year as a father next time this holiday rolls around.
While there has been a lot of speculation about Kate Middleton sporting a baby bump, recent photos appear to prove that there is nothing there. Just this weekend, the Duchess of Cambridge showed off her maternal side, though, on a camping outing with a group of eight and nine-year-old girls.
In fact, there is a window in place for the royal couple to get pregnant. According to a royal insider, Kate Middleton hopes to get pregnant sometime between September 2012 and summer 2013. Ideally, the couple will announce their baby news at New Year's 2013.
The good news for royal baby bump watchers, "the pregnancy will be announced. It won't be hidden," according to a royal inside source. There is constant scrutiny of the Duchess's midsection, so it is possible that news of a royal baby will be leaked even before that all important first trimester is over. Of course, it probably won't be official until then though. In fact, it seems likely that the palace may keep Kate out of the public eye before it is safe to announce her impending motherhood.

Carl Seelman's career in golf has taken him to some of the sports premier destinations.
He grew up in Hawaii, where he first played the sport as an 11-year-old at Oahu Country Club. He played at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego as part of the Optimist Junior World Championship. He served as a first assistant at Pinehurst (N.C.) National, which has hosted the U.S. Open, PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup. He worked as head golf professional at Las Vegas Country Club and, most recently, as an associate golf professional at Farmington (Va.) Country Club, considered one of the top facilities in the mid-Atlantic Region.
Seelman can add historic Sunnehanna Country Club to the list as he was hired as head golf professional.
"We are very excited and thrilled to have selected Carl Seelman from more than 60 qualified candidates that applied for the golf professional position at SCC," said General Manager/Chief Operating Officer Don Zolnosky. "Having Carl Seelman selected with his tremendous background, experience and well-respected reputation in the golf industry is yet another indication of the reputation Sunnehanna Country Club holds across the nation."
Seelman replaces Joe Shorto, who retired after 30 years as the head golf pro at Sunnehanna.
Sunnehanna Country Club is planning a meet-and-greet in the main ballroom on Feb. 8 at 6 p.m.

"I was worried about their guards,'' Brey said. "Their front line did damage to us.''
NOTES: Brey is tied with former St. John's coach Lou Carnesecca for fourth place on the Big East's career wins list at 139. Brey is one of 10 coaches in league history with 100 conference wins. ... Notre Dame's senior class needs eight victories to become the program's winningest class. The class of 2011 compiled 96 victories. ... Syracuse holds a 25-19 edge in its series with Notre Dame, but the Irish won last year's game in South Bend, 68-57. The Orange played that game without center Fab Melo, who was academically ineligible. On Monday night, Syracuse played without another big man, center DaJuan Coleman, who is out about a month after undergoing left knee surgery. Orange forward James Southerland also sat out, missing his fifth game in a row because of an eligibility issue.

OBERLIN ¢ Larry CariglioÆs quest for authentic wood-fired pizza led from coast-to-coast as well as to his fatherÆs hometown in Naples, Italy.
ōThere is an art to this,ö Cariglio said.
Owner since 1982 of LorenzoÆs Pizzeria, 52Į S. Main St., Oberlin, Cariglio sampled wood-fired pizza while on a trip, not expecting to be impressed.
ōItÆs a very different style of pizza,ö Cariglio said, ōand I really enjoyed it. IÆm in the business. I try other pizza when I go somewhere. IÆm very, very critical. But when I tasted Neapolitan pizza, I really liked it.ö
So Cariglio bought an oven for his backyard.
ōItÆs very hard to do,ö Cariglio said. ōThereÆs a lot of moisture in the dough. I come from cooking a pizza at 550 degrees for 10 or 11 minutes. This bakes at 850 degrees for about 90 seconds. You have to get the pizza dough set, but not burned. You have to get the turning peel under it to turn it.ö
Cariglio studied the art of Neapolitan pizza in New York, Los Angeles and Naples, Italy, even touring companies that supply his ingredients, he said.
Then he started The Beautiful Flame, a catering business, about two years ago by building a mobile oven. Cariglio bought a stove interior online from Forno Bravo in California. ĀLorain County Joint Vocational School students built the base, and Drost Masonry in Oberlin assembled the oven on the back of a truck.
ōEver had a wood-fired pizza?ö Cariglio asks. ōIt takes about two hours to fire up the oven.ö
At the Lorain International Festival, Cariglio stoked the oven with three-inch-wide, 14-inch-long pieces of hickory, though he uses other hardwoods, such as oak, maple and cherry when he can get it, he said. When the oven reaches the proper temperature, the walls turn white inside.
Cariglio takes out a round of dough, and explains everything from temperature to imported ingredients ¢ specialty flour from Caputo Flour Company in Italy, San Marzano tomato sauce and extra-virgin olive oil ¢ must be perfect. His wife, Mickey Cariglio, also grows basil, oregano and rosemary for both businesses.Ā
Cariglio flours a board and pats the dough into a widening circle, spreads the sauce, places squares of homemade mozzarella, adds fresh basil leaves, squirts olive oil and finishes with grated Parmesan.
ōItÆs a very different product,ö Cariglio said. ōItÆs all based on very high quality ingredients, so itÆs very mild in taste. You want to be able to taste the cheese, the oil and the tomatoes. ItÆs hard for people to get used to. It chars in spots. Most people like that.öĀ
The sausage is made using an exclusive recipe by FlignerÆs in Lorain, he said.Ā
Cariglio brushes the oven floor and stokes the fire again. With a quick push, a finished pizza slides off a wooden peel onto the oven floor.
ōYou have to know your oven,ö Cariglio says. ōItÆs different always.ö
Within seconds the dough puffs. About 30 seconds later, Cariglio slides a metal peel under the crust and turns the pizza about half way around for even cooking. After about another 30 seconds, he lifts the pizza toward the top of the oven, to complete cooking at a hotter temperature.
Cariglio draws the pizza out of the oven and inspects the color and texture.
Once a week on Sundays, Cariglio fires The Beautiful Flame oven at LorenzoÆs and serves Neapolitan pizza from 5 p.m. until the batch of dough runs out.

Thread: Best Reason to Sign A.J.

Ok, the reason I kicked this thread was to see how pursuing AJ looks in the post Nolasco/Hughes context. Does he have holes in his game? Heck yeah- no arm, no wheels and the SO/BB ratio is sick. Guy doesn't walk. Ever. Point taken. But he gets on base...
My basic view on this this- gut- is that Pinto has something to offer if groomed correctly. He could be the wave of the future. Meantime, we need an adult back there (at least part of the time). C is a position Twins need to address, and I'm glad they're showing interest in the 2 biggest FAs- Salty and AJ.
I anticipate that whoever they sign will not play every day- the project should be to get Pinto in there, and to guide him on the way, IMO. Develop the guy. So from that standpoint, AJ's K/BB numbers don't scare me so much.
If we're serious about landing Salty, what do we have to lay out in $$ and years? If Pinto can develop with vet guidance, then AJ is a short-term solution to a short-term problem. Honestly, what would a Salty signing bring to the table?Feel free to pile on about Suzuki.

Neither Saltalamacchia or Pierzynski is a plus defensive catcher IMHO. Both are horrible throwing out base stealers, moderate framing pitches with the former Red Sox having a good year doing that last year and decent calling a game and handling pitchers. I think the Twins should get a defense-first receiver to mentor Pinto and go no more than one year or a year plus an option. Ryan Hanigan has been my choice since I read up on him. He shouldn't cost more than a C prospect or a bullpen arm.

I don't have a problem with any of the catchers mentioned, but I would sign Salty for 3 years. It's near impossible to find a catcher with his power, and he can also DH. With what we watched the last two seasons, the least of my concerns is someone being blocked. If we end up with two good hitting catchers, so be it.

With Navarro now off the market that opens the door for AJ! Get it done. Reusse said they're close on Pelfrey too!
AJ is one of those guys you hate when you play against them but love if he's on your team. He is a real jackass on the field a lot of times but I think the Twins need a little more fire and attitude which is what AJ can bring. Not to mention he's still a decent player who can hit some.
Not sure if he'd be willing to sit on the bench though, but between DH and splitting catching duties he could still get on the field quite a bit.
J.P. Arencibia is going to be non-tendered or traded, and could be a interesting buy low candidate. He's just 27 years old, and has major league power.

I would very much prefer this over AJ/Salty.
Let Pinto & Arencibia battle it out in ST for the full time duties.
Send them Worley & Duensing for him lol
Funny how a big guy like AJ has managed to stay behind the plate without major health issues.

AJ is an interesting option on so many levels, but I think it comes down to how he sees himself at this stage of his career. Would he be satisfied with sharing the catching duties and mentoring a younger catcher? I don't seem to recall him being all that anxious to mentor Flowers in Chicago (though he was a couple years younger then). If there's any chance he's going to bitch and moan about playing time all summer, that's not the kind of change in clubhouse atmosphere you need.
But if he could be a Crash Davis type - someone who knows his days are numbered and is looking to set up his next career as a coach/manager by demonstrating that he's capable of teaching, not only other catchers, but more importantly young pitchers (I can just see AJ telling a hitter what's coming the first time a rookie pitcher shakes him off, can't you?) - then I'm on board with an AJ/Twins reunion tour.
I don't give a rip about whether fans will "like" him or not and I would hope that wouldn't factor in to TR's decision at all.
I'm also less concerned with "blocking" Pinto than most seem to be. If you have a can't miss star like Mauer, when he was coming up, or guys like Sano and Buxton, then you make sure you don't block their path with veterans, even if the veterans might be better players for a little while. But I don't put Pinto in that category at this point. When he's able to beat out the competition, he gets the job. Until then, if you have the chance to put someone better on the field, you do it... whether that's AJ (if you believe he's actually better, which is certainly debatable) for a year or Saltalamacchia for a couple years.
I do think AJ seems more interested in a broadcasting career after he's done playing than a coaching/managing career, though, and that makes me question is he's really open to a mentoring role.I opine about the Twins and Kernels regularly at Knuckleballsblog.com while my alter ego, SD Buhr covers the Kernels for MetroSportsReport.com.

It was sad AJ's Twins career ended the way it did. Its a shame they couldnt have found a way to keep both him and mauer. In hindsight maybe AJ and Mauer should have split the catching/DH duties 50/50.

Apart from the acute Pitching Needs... That's what this Minnesota Twins Team Needs.
I'm tired of watching the team get out of the way on the base paths so the SS has an easy throw on a double play ball... I'm tired of Scott Diamond meekly sticking up for his teammates with lame message pitches at Gardy's behest... I'm tired of Plouffe not diving into the hole to pick up grounders... I'm tired of Mauer's lack of triples. I'm tired of every single player with a bat in their hands under performing expectation by a large margin.
Accept for Brian Dozier of course... Dozier was the one player you could count on to get dirty in 2013 and he seemed to over perform at the plate as well.
I believe it's how winning teams play ball. I believe this sort of thing rolls on and into everyone in your clubhouse and gets your teammates going even if they don't understand why or how. Just look at the high fiving in the White Sox dugout afterwards.
I believe that if the team played this way... Josh Willingham would not have hit .208 in 2013. I think Josh Willingham hit .208 because he went to sleep playing baseball with this club and so did the rest of the offense.
I believe that the Fans deserve this when they buy a ticket. I believe that fans are getting ripped off... not because of the talent level... but ripped off because the team is not engaged enough to do the things I mention above.
Give me A.J... Play him and let him loose in the clubhouse. Whatever he hits, frames, or whatever doesn't matter. Give me A.J. It's time for Mauer to be Mauer and let someone else lead this team... We don't need no quiet leader. The quiet leader ain't working and we have young talented prospects who need an example of how to do it. Or else we might as well just turn them into quiet followers of quiet leaders.
BTW... This video is circa 2006. The White Sox had just won the world series in 2005. It's quite possible that the White Sox had a little attitude back then.
I know the Twins used to have a little attitude around that time. Torii Hunter didn't creep up to catchers and give them a hug before he crossed the plate. He would run them over if the catcher was blocking the plate.
The Catcher is blocking the plate... What shall I do? I have a pretty good idea what they should do. When's the last time you saw it from a Twins uniform?

You guys need to quit with the mentoring thing as we have Mauer and Steinbach who can do that we just need someone who can play and definately hit. Our offense is the huge ? now that we have 4 decent enough starters and a deep bullpen. We scored 614 runs last season good for 14th place in a 15 team league. We will need to be in the 700 to 720 range to be in the vicinity of a .500 team.
I would be good with AJ on a 1 or 2 year deal. I am also good with Toronto's catcher if he can catch a decent game. The onbase is a little too low for me however. Salty is fine. I could care less about the contract the catcher we get signs.

I do think someone with a little more outspoken and extroverted could add to the team in the right circumstances. Under the right circumstances, I think AJ could be a good addition, and could definitely see him pushing a team on the edge to the next level. I am not sure how he would be if the team still really struggling and not improving (which hopefully won't be the case). He might go from being the edge needed to just being a toxic presense in the clubhouse - going from pumping people up to casting one big black cloud in the clubhouse. I guess with clubhouse chemistry, you never really know how things are going to translate from paper to reality until you are playing the game.
With the Twins having a less than ideal year last year, I checked out a little bit on baseball in general. Does Texas have a catcher on the rise or did they see signs of decline, and were they not interested in offering an extension to AJ?

Testimony alleging sexual assaults and other problems at a West Virginia facility for juvenile offenders helped prompt a judge Wednesday to order its shutdown.
Following a Kanawha Circuit Court hearing, Judge Omar Aboulhosn told state officials to relocate the Harriet B. Jones Treatment Center or its residents by Sept. 30.
The Harrison County facility is on the same Salem campus as the now-former Industrial Home for Youth. Aboulhosn earlier targeted that high-security facility for juvenile offenders over conditions there, leading the state to close it to youths as of July 1 and convert it to an adult prison.
But the Division of Juvenile Services has yet to identify a replacement facility or sufficient spare beds at other centers for the 21 sex offenders and seven juveniles with mental and behavioral health issues at Harriet B. Jones. The judge suggested several options during the morning hearing, said Lydia Milnes, a lawyer with Mountain State Justice.
"It's clear that he wants them out by the 30th," Milnes said following the hearing, adding that the judge may give state officials some leeway with that deadline.
A public interest law firm, Mountain State Justice filed the lawsuit that spurred Aboulhosn ruling against Industrial Home for Youth. Milnes said Wednesday's witnesses include correctional officer Troy Stephenson, who testified that a 20-year-old sex offender allegedly sexually assaulted a 15-year-old from the behavioral health unit over the weekend.
Young offenders can remain at juvenile facilities past their 18th birthday, depending on their sentences. While the two groups of juveniles were kept apart and had separate staff, that changed July 1 amid the state's conversion plan for the campus, Milnes said. As a result, Stephenson and just three other officers were on duty at the time of the alleged assault, she said.
Milnes said Stephenson testified that he also witnessed a senior correctional officer sexually assault a 19-year-old officer. That allegation is being investigated by the agency, the court was told.
State officials indicated prior to the hearing that they were trying to address the latest allegations raised in the case. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin requested the measure passed earlier this year by the Legislature that allowed for the renamed Salem Correctional Center to house adult offenders.
"There are a number of challenges we continue to address in our comprehensive restructuring of juvenile services," Tomblin spokeswoman Amy Shuler Goodwin said after the hearing. "While hurdles still exist, we will diligently work to meet the deadline set by the court, while remaining focused on providing the best treatment programs and facilities for our youth."
Staffing issues play a key role in the lawsuit, with Milnes and firm leader Dan Hedges arguing that juveniles are vulnerable to abuse because of insufficient staff. Residents have been confined to their rooms for longer periods than allowed, for instance, and are not always allowed their weekly, 15-minute phone calls, the lawsuit alleges.
While Aboulhosn stopped short of ordering the staffing changes sought by Mountain State Justice, Milnes noted that the judge called agency acting Director Stephanie Bond as a witness and told her that "the buck stops" with her.
"I think he made it clear that he sees that as the responsibility of DJS," Milnes said, regarding the staffing issues. She also said, "The judge went beyond what we were seeking (with the Sept. 30th deadline), but we do think that is, ultimately, a necessary step."
