He did not pitch very well in the minors, having only one season (1981 in AA Wichita) in which his ERA was under 4.00. He was left-handed, however, and so he got a September call-up with

Utility player John Francis Ward played briefly for the Twins in 1963 and 1964. He was born in Brookfield, Missouri and was signed by the Yankees as a free agent in 1956. He hit very well in the low minors, hitting exactly .300 in three years in Class D and C. He spent most of 1958 in the Washington organization, then was selected off waivers by the Kansas City Athletics. Ward was pretty average

Super Bowl beers and the Blizzard of 2011

American Craft Beer Week
Next week it is American Craft Beer Week across the US. It is a national celebration across the US with events at breweries. It is a growing celebration of all that is craft beers here in the U.S. On a national basis craft beers were up 7% in 2009 vs 2008.

Valentine's Day
Another Valentine's Day will be upon us shortly. But no matter what you're got planned – whether it's an exciting night out or a delicious, intimate home-cooked meal – beer can play a part in your Valentine's Day festivities. Here are a few ideas.
Red Beer and Red Roses
You may already have plans to get your better half a boutique of long-stemmed, beautiful red roses for Valentine's Day – but that doesn't mean you should stop there. Expand on the color theme of your gift by adding a six-pack or two of some great red beers. Some of your options include Leinenkugel Red or George Killian's Irish Red
Beer and Chocolate – Obvious and Irresistible
Many of the natural complexities of full-bodied beers are echoed in rich, flavored chocolates and vice versa. Much like how dark-roasted coffees and chocolates pair well, the roasted malt flavor of stouts and porters parallel the deep tones of dark chocolate, a known aphrodisiac. For a great gift, combine a few varieties of Godiva or Ghirardelli chocolate in a basket with and a six-pack of Bell's Java Stout. Other options to pair with chocolate include Beamish Irish Stout and Negra Modelo.

1994 brought a new twist to the Heart Mini-Marathon — a 5K, a development that helped cement its appeal. But the main event was still the 15K, and there was plenty of drama, again among friends. Here's the next day's Enquirer story:
"Noel Hallinan and Don Overstreet are friends and training partners through the week, but on race day, it's a different story.
"Hallinan, 32, pulled away from Overstreet and the rest of the pack in Sunday's 15-kilometer Cincinnati Heart Mini-Marathon to win in 46:12.
"Overstreet finished a distant second in 48:03. Derrick Peterman claimed third in 48:33, while John Agnew's time of 48:44 barely beat out Brad Ingram's 45:54 for fourth place
"Hallinan won this race in 1991, and finished second two years ago.
" 'Noel has to be the best runner in the state of Ohio,' Overstreet said. 'He knows how to run a race better than anyone I know, and it's tough to beat him. He's certainly the best this city's got.'
"Hallinan, a native of Ireland who is a chemist at Quantum Chemical, said the pace was relatively slow starting out, and that he started to pull away when he saw no one was going to take control.
" 'I was surprised nobody took the lead, because it was a perfect day to run, and it's a good course,' he said. 'I left the pack at about the 2-mile mark, and no one really challenged me after that.'
Three-time Olympian and U.S. mile record holder Steve Scott easily won the 5K race, but he admitted it wasn't one of his better running days.
" 'The hills won the race today,' said Scott, who clocked in at 14:45. 'I much prefer the flat courses compared to this. You can keep the hills.'
"More than 600 runners took part in the 5K, which was added this year to attract new runners."

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — MANCHESTER-- Manchester Essex Regional High School made sure it had a legitimate home field advantage Friday afternoon at Hyland Field when the boys soccer team took on Maimonides in the Division 3 North Preliminary Round.
With the contest kicking off at an odd start time (12:30 p.m.), school officials allowed the student body to attend the game during school hours and root on the Hornets.
With the crowd in its side, No. 16 Manchester Essex came out on fire burying No. 17 Maimonides early with two goals in the first five minutes en route to a 4-0 win.
"It was a nice result today," Hornets head coach Rob Bilsbury said. "It was good to have the home crowd here and awesome of the administration to let them come to the game. It made a difference in our energy."
With the win Manchester Essex (8-7-4) now moves on to the Division 3 North First Round where it will travel to No. 1 seed Boston International (13-3) on Sunday (6:00 p.m.).
Midfielder Will Nadai put the Hornets on the board in the fourth minute on a strong individual effort beating a Maimonides defender and scoring on a bad angle shot where he spun the ball into the goal despite the fact that the ball never left the turf.
Nadai's goal proved to be all the Hornets would need but they gave themselves some insurance just a minute later when senior captain Liam Aldrich scored from point blank range on a shot that the Maimonides goal keeper would certainly love to come back.
"It was nice to take care of business early," Bilsbury said. "It's always scary when it's 0-0 for a while. We took care of that early and made sure (Maimonides) didn't hang around."
The Hornets head coach also praised the play of Nadai, who at center midfielder is called upon to control the middle of the field and help out on the defensive end. Not only did Nadai score, he prevented the Maimonides offense from recording a shot on goal. Manchester Essex goal keeper Chris Xavier did not need to make a save in the win and Maimonides put one shot on goal, a non-threatening shot with the Hornets back ups in the game in the waning minutes.
"Will was really solid today defending the ball and moving the ball up the field," Bilsbury said. "As he goes we go. When he's moving the ball and switching the field we are tough to beat. Plus as we saw today he can take on a defender one-on-one and make something happen, and he did all this playing sick."
Freshman George Lantz gave the Hornets a 3-0 lead just before halftime putting home a pass from Parker Edington. Early in the second half the Hornets struck again with a goal from Tao Sardonicus in the 46th minute to cap the scoring at 4-0.
Manchester Essex now shifts its attention to Boston International, the No. 1 seed in the Division 3 North State Tournament. While the team's records indicate a mismatch, 8-7-4 for Manchester Essex, 13-3 for Boston International, the game looks to be anything but.
Boston International has not had to deal with the gauntlet that is the Cape Ann League like Manchester Essex, which makes records irrelevant.
Bilsbury is expecting a tough game from the No. 1 seed and says his team needs to keep playing its brand of soccer.
"We only know a little bit about them but we know enough to know they're good," Bilsbury said. "We need to keep playing our game, possess the ball and make smart passes. We are playing good soccer right now and we have been in win or go home mode for a couple of weeks now. It's going to be a battle on Sunday."

With its rows of grape vines, old tractors, shady trees and barn-like buildings, it just seems like the perfect place to see some farm animals.
And at the Critter Corral, visitors to the San Joaquin County Historical Museum at Micke Grove Regional Park there's an oink oink here and a baa baa there, even a cluck cluck and a moo moo.
What: Visit and pet live farm animals at the San Joaquin County Historical Museum's new Critter Corral on weekends through Sept. 2.
When: The corral is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
Where: San Joaquin County Historical Museum, Micke Grove Park, 11793 N. Micke Grove Road, Lodi
Admission: $2 to $5
Information: sanjoaquinhistory.org or (209) 331-2055
On Sunday, children scampered after goats, chickens, sheep, a llama and some very adorable pigs, among other animals.
"Oh, look. She's trying to feed hay to all the animals," Michelle Walker of Stockton said as her 1-year-old daughter approached the llama.
The animals vary from weekend to weekend, depending on their temperament and the temperature that particular day.
"It just depends on the weather, because some of them are heat sensitive," Robin Wood, education curator at the museum, said.
Gabe Karam, general services director for the county, said he presented the idea after seeing a petting zoo at the San Joaquin County Fair.
"It's something fun for the kids," he said.
And Wood said the petting zoo is bringing in visitors.
"It's been a big draw for us," she said. "I think you could come out every weekend and see something different."
The animals don't have a sleepover at the museum because neighboring coyotes and raccoons could be a threat.
Pony Ranch brings them in each Saturday and Sunday morning and carts them back to their home farm in the afternoon.
Lynell Fagen of Pony Ranch rattled off the names of the animals when visitors asked.
"This is Triangle," she said of a friendly dorsal-striped Alpine goat. "That cow is a miniature Zebu."
In addition to the weekend petting zoo, docents at the museum are offering crafts in the old schoolhouse. There are also demonstrations of blacksmithing and a chance to see what it's like to pan for gold.

The Tribune-Democrat
Barb: We've heard from plenty of people upset about a grocery store chain pulling the plug on some of its perks, but we've yet to hear anyone complain about the issue that Giant Eagle says is the cause for the decision. The chain, which has more than a half-dozen stores in Cambria and Somerset counties, said this week that it was discontinuing its popular Foodperks program because it was too complicated for many customers. Giant Eagle has every right to change its pricing and policies, but it doesn't need to insult the intelligence of its customers while doing so.
Laurel: Some of the nation's best snowboarders and freestyle skiers were in our region recently. Seven Springs Mountain Resort hosted a qualifying round of the U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships for the first time last weekend. Then, the U.S. Revolution Tour, which is focused toward riders 13-19, stopped at the resort for a four-day event for skiers and snowboarders. We're fortunate to have such wonderful winter facilities in our own backyard.
Laurel: Letting constituents know how lawmakers are spending our money seems like a no-brainer but, as we've learned, there is no such thing in politics. So we applaud those state politicians who have decided to post their office expenses on their respective websites. Transparency in politics – what a concept!
Laurel: We've lauded the Johnstown Tomahawks a number of times already in their first season, but the junior hockey club continues to impress us. The Tomahawks are teaming up with the Johnstown Police Department's K-9 Corps for a "Pucks & Paws" night a week from today. The event, which allows hockey fans to bring their dogs to the rink, is more than a promotional gimmick. The $5 fee that fans will be charged for their pooches will go to the K-9 Corps, which Sgt. Michael Plunkard said is dependent upon community donations.
Laurel: It's nice to know that citizens can still make their voices heard. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation showed this week that it understood some of the complaints coming from residents and business owners along Goucher Street. Rather than push forward with an unpopular project, PennDOT agreed to tweak its plans for how to make the busy roadway safer. We're sure that not everyone will be happy with the scaled- down project, but it's evident that PennDOT has tried to work with the community on the issue.
Barb: Veterans Affairs hospitals are supposed to provide quality care for the men and women who served this nation proudly. Sadly, a report released on Wednesday says that a lab in Pittsburgh didn't immediately report positive test results for Legionnaires disease in an outbreak that killed five patients. What a tragedy. Our veterans deserve better.

Tri-School Productions will present Carlo Goldoni's The Servant of Two Masters, beginning Oct. 26.
"As a senior getting ready for college, I can say that this show is going to be one of the best and no doubt the funniest fall shows Tri-School Productions has put on in the past few years," said Serra senior Joey Ruggiero (Dr. Lombardi). "I love this new era of the Tri-School family."
The classic "comedia" play will electrify the stage. Truffuldino is a humble servant from Turin, who finds himself in search of a master to take care of him. Not only does he find one master, he finds two! The show is a hilarious tale of mistaken identity.
"The play is hilarious, and it's fun for all ages," said Mercy sophomore Maggie Eichler, (Smeraldina). "This is my first time doing a Tri-School production. I've been having a great time with the cast and it's sure to be a great show."
"Tri-School Productions is a really fun and great way to get involved," agreed NDB freshman Meaghan Uhl (Clarice). "I had a blast in the show, and everyone should come and see it!"
Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Serra Gellert Auditorium on Fridays and Saturdays, October 26-November 3. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors. To purchase, please visit www.trischoolproductions.com.

The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons along with Suffolk County Legislator William Spencer (D-Centerport) announce the first meeting of the Pet Store Rating Board convened on February 6, 2013, where ARF Executive Director Sara Davison was voted Chair of the Board. Part of the overall Pet Store Rating Program, the Board is charged with assessing the pet stores within Suffolk County that apply to the program. The rating program is designed to better inform consumers of store practices before they seek to buy cats or dogs. The new board's assessment will be based on pet store criteria passed by the Legislature last year.
"I am very excited to host the first meeting of what I see as the crux of the Pet Store Rating Program," said Legislator Spencer. "Its members are extremely well-qualified and can easily determine if pet stores are operating in a safe and healthy manner benefitting the best interests of their animals."
The legislation that created the board, originally passed by former Legislator Jon Cooper in 2011 required that the Board members have backgrounds dealing with
pet health and the pet industry. In addition to Ms. Davison, the Executive Director of the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, the other committee members include: Steve Laton, Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Donald Sterling, formerly of the Suffolk County Police Department who is the owner of a dog boarding kennel, and the designee of the department of Consumer Affairs, Michael Maddox, a representative of the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council and Teri Meekins, DVM of the Shinnecock Animal Hospital.
Ms. Davison commented "I look forward to working with this distinguished group of people to develop and promote the pet store rating program and I thank Legislator Spencer for helping to establish this ratings program."
Legislator Spencer added that "I am optimistic that the eventual success of the county's rating program will serve as a model for others who are looking to increase consumer awareness regarding the health and history of our pets."

MILLEDGEVILLE — Kroger is in the midst of selling three outparcels adjacent to the building to The Sofran Group for the purpose of constructing 14,600 square feet of shop space, including a Shane's Rib Shack.
"Kroger owns all of the property and The Sofran Group is purchasing the property. It's 3.8 acres [they are] buying from Kroger," said Paul Xhajanka, real estate manager for Kroger. "Currently we have Shane's Rib Shack committed, which will be on one end cap. Another restaurant will be at the other end cap, and we also have a nail spa and hair cutter on board who are committed. The nail place and hair cutter are common stores of what you would see in other Kroger developments."
Plans to break ground and have construction under way is slated by May.
"We hope to have all of the restaurants open and tenants in place by the end of the year," said Robby Boggs, partner with The Sofran Group. "Shane's Rib Shack restaurant will outparcel 2,870 square feet. We have another restaurant space and three other shop spaces, which are anywhere from 1,260 to 3,200 square feet for each space."
Shane's Rib Shack started with barbecue in McDonough in 2002, and has now grown to having more than 35 locations throughout Georgia and around 14 other states. The eatery offers pork, barbecue chicken, half chicken, ribs, sandwiches, chicken tenders, wings, salads, a number of sides, desserts, party platters and catering services.
"These new Kroger locations are highly desirable for most tenants," Boggs said.
Founded in 1980 in Canada, The Sofran Group has expanded its operations to current offices located in Atlanta and Florida. The company has developed more than 8 million square feet of commercial property across 10 states.
For more information about leasing out a shop space, contact Boggs at (770) 351-9300. To purchase or lease an outlot parcel, contact Gail Fargason of The Shopping Center Group at (770) 955-2434.

It's been a while, but the idea of Fort Mill annexing at least some part of the Indian Land Panhandle into town limits has surfaced again, and this time there could be more than just talk behind it.
Fort Mill officials recently met with Melvin Threatt, president of a group organized to gather enough signatures on a petition to hold a referendum on whether Indian Land should incorporate as a city itself. The meeting was held in private, so the only information we have is anecdotal from interviews with Threatt and town council members who said they weren't there, but were later briefed by the Fort Mill officials who were – Town Manager Dennis Pieper and Mayor Danny Funderburk. Based on talking with Threatt and council members – neither Pieper nor Funderburk returned voice messages requesting interviews – the gist of the meeting was that Threatt was asked about the progress of his petition drive and how he'd feel about giving that up and instead supporting annexation into Fort Mill.
Threatt wouldn't tell us if he would consider campaigning for Indian Land to become part of Fort Mill, only that he's continuing to gather signatures. For their part, the town council members we talked to said this was just Fort Mill dipping a toe in the water and it wouldn't make any serious moves toward annexation until some unspecified time in the future.
We suspect otherwise.
If Threatt's organization, Indian Land Voice, gains traction, the incorporation question could be on the ballot rather quickly. Maybe not next year, but certainly by 2016. Once that occurs, and if a majority of voters say yes, then Fort Mill lost its chance. If Pieper and Funderburk aren't serious about it, why put in the time and effort to explore the idea in the first place? Surely Pieper, the town's full-time administrator, has better things to do with this time.
Not that we're saying it's a good idea or not a good idea at this point. There are many questions that remain, including the cost of supplying services, chiefly fire and police protection, to a greatly expanded town. Will the property taxes generated from homes in what is now Indian Land be enough to pay for the added first responders and will new police and fire departments have to be built? Is the recreation department in a position to grow to meet the needs of all the new families who would reside inside the town, and how might this affect the planned closing of the Recreation Complex on the Greenway (formerly the Leroy Springs Recreation Complex)? What about trash and recycling service? Will a tax increase be needed to subsidize the added expenses of the annexation?
Questions that can't be answered in a cost-benefit analysis include how to blend two communities with distinct identities and separate school districts. There's plenty more. That's why the town, if it's serious about this, should come out into the open with its plans and start holding a series of public hearings. Meetings should be held in Fort Mill as well as Indian Land and every effort should be made to gauge the public's interest by talking to as wide a cross section of residents as possible.
There's no good reason to continue exploring this option in a secretive way and no good reason for waiting to get public input. Unless the town's not serious about this after all.
And in that case, Pieper, who's paid handsomely to manage the town's affairs, and to some extent Funderburk as well, should explain why they were wasting time talking to Threatt in the first place.

Still too far: The contraception 'compromise'
Under the newly proposed rules, as under the original, churches are exempt. But other religiously based employers, such as church hospitals and Catholic universities, are not. These employers do not have to directly offer the mandated coverage through their own insurance. Rather, their insurer will offer a separate policy that covers only contraception, abortifacient drugs, etc. The insurers are to be reimbursed through a discount on what they pay to participate in the federal health insurance exchanges mandated by Obamacare, USA Today reported.
So these religious employers will not provide the coverage through their insurance premiums; they will fund it through their taxes (how else to subsidize the discount insurers will receive?). Also, individual employers whose businesses are not explicitly religious in nature will still have no relief. They will have to violate their faith by directly providing coverage for procedures they object to on religious grounds. Do not be surprised when this proposal does not halt the more than 40 lawsuits filed against the administration over this issue.

Building for the future, today – combining the best of historical wisdom and modern technology.
"How do I learn to build using cordwood contruction techniques is often the first question asked, followed quickly by "Will it save me money?"
The first question is simple:
The second question about saving money involves many variables. Do you have access to wood, do you have any home building skills, can you barter or trade for work, are you willing to recycle, reuse and repurpose? The cost goes up or down depending on your willingness to learn, bargain, barter and do. Can you build your own cabinets, buy them second hand from a Habitat for Humanity restore, or trade to have them built? Suffice it to say that cordwood homes have been built for as little as $10 @ sq. ft. and more than $100 @ sq. ft. The final answer lies somewhere in your decision on cost/benefit choices.
Now, let's work on how to learn to build one first, so you can determine if this natural building technique is your cup of tea. Taking a workshop, taught by a master cordwood builder is the best way to go. You learn what mistakes to avoid and you are given individual, hands-on instruction using best practices. Questions flow and answers are forthcoming as the workshop evolves.
Here are a few examples of cordwood buildings and the actual wall building taking place.
If you are interested in a Cordwood Workshop for 2014, take a look at the following brochure to see if there is one near you. Cordwood Workshop Brochure 2014.
We will talk more about the Practice Building in a future posting.
If you are interested in learning the latest about Cordwood I would recommend reading the book Cordwood Construction Best Practices. It is available in print, CD and ebook format from the Online Bookstore at www.CordwoodConstruction.org.
Kefir is a milk product a bit like yogurt, but with even more digestive benefits. You make kefir using grains (the "mother" bacteria and fungi), and since the grains double in size every month or two, you can often get starter cultures for free from a friend. But what do you do once the grains show up?
Rinse your kefir grains. Since the grains (the solid gob) have been sitting in the same milk during transit, they'll need to be rinsed. Place them in a colander and pour milk or unchlorinated water (such as well water) over the grains until they look clean. Discard the rinse liquid.
Place the grains in a glass jar and add one cup of whole milk per tablespoon of grains, then cover the top of the jar with a cloth napkin or other piece of breathable fabric. You can use a rubber band or the ring of a mason jar to keep the cloth in place. The cloth is just to prevent bugs and dirt from getting in your brewing liquid. Be sure to use whole milk (cow or goat is fine), and unpasteurized milk is even better if you're a raw-milk drinker.
Put the jar in a warm place, such as on top of your refrigerator, and leave it for 24 to 48 hours. You might actually have to wait 3 days the first time since the microorganisms will take a bit of time to recover from the trauma of being mailed. You'll know the kefir is ready when it solidifies and you see a bit of separation of whey (clear liquid) from the milk solids. If you want a mild-tasting kefir, stop after 24 hours. A more sour kefir with more beneficial fungi will develop when fermented longer.
Once your kefir is ready, remove the grains and place them in a new jar with another cup of milk to ferment the next batch. To remove the grains, you can either spoon out the contents of the jar into a bowl and scoop out the grains, or you can strain the kefir through a plastic or stainless-steel sieve. Do not allow anything other than plastic, glazed ceramics, and stainless steel to come in contact with your kefir grains or you will harm the microorganisms.
Eat your kefir. Your kefir grain(s) will have been stressed a bit by their trip, so be aware that your first batch of kefir might taste a bit funny. This is more likely if you're changing to another type of milk (such as goat milk). The strange taste should go away as the microorganisms adapt to their new surroundings, but you can discard the first batch(es) if necessary. Once the flavor evens out, you can eat your kefir any way you'd eat yogurt. Our favorite methods include mixing in honey and cocoa (combine warm honey and cocoa first, then add the kefir), mixing with applesauce, or making kefir cheesecake. You can also use kefir grains to make sour cream out of fresh cream and to make kefir out of coconut milk and other non-dairy milks. However, your grains will be happiest in whole milk, so try to give them a round or two of milk in between other substances.
As your kefir grains grow, you'll need to increase the amount of milk, or split them. A rule of thumb is to use a tablespoonful of grains per cup of milk. We like to culture our kefir for two days in the winter, so I keep two jars of kefir going at all times, one to eat today and one to eat tomorrow. Once you have more grains than you can handle, pass some on to a friend and keep the cycle moving!

If only I didn't live so far away from The North House Folk School, I'd be hanging around there a lot. The number of classes they have is amazing. Birch bark canoes, blacksmithing, tool making, timber framing, fiber arts, on and on.
I'm just looking at one page, and I'd take the class on making a crooked knife, and another on sharpening. They are in the northwest corner of Minnesota, on Lake Superior, up Highway 61 (yes, that same Highway 61 -- "…7th mother, 7th son…") from Duluth.
Get their catalog if you like making things with your hands (or if you have kids who want to learn some hand-made skills).
Cordwood is a building technique that is richly embodied in sweat equity and labor intensiveness. The actual physical process of building is not seriously strenuous (the log ends are only 16" long), but it does take time and will-power to complete all the walls. The materials for cordwood walls are found in the forest and not in the building supply store, so it is not something one can order and have delivered on Monday. It requires planning, perseverance and patience.
To start this cordwood blog I would like to offer some basic thoughts about cordwood and then provide some serious cordwood eye candy meant to interest and inspire. Getting into specifics and FAQ's and such will take place down the road. If you have any questions, please be my guest.
Suffice it to say that cordwood is a natural building style of choices and decisions, based on ones personal philosophy and pocketbook. The first choice comes in the form of "Should I do this or not?" The best way to answer this "mother of all cordwood questions," is to read the available cordwood literature, visit cordwood homes, build a practice building or take a workshop. Once a person has committed to becoming a cordwood owner/builder, the fun begins.
As the reader already knows, the basic wall material for cordwood is composed of logs. The fundamental method of laying up a wall is shown in the line drawing by the Grandfather of Cordwood, Jack Henstridge (whose articles were the first on cordwood to appear in the MOTHER EARTH NEWS in the 70's). Here are links to those early articles should you be interested:
"Build a Low-Cost Economical House"
"The Return of the Cordwood House"
As we progress to current times, here is an example of the first page of my Cordwood eNewsletter for 2014. You will notice that the times they are a'changing...
Here are a few examples of "well done" cordwood homes using best practices.
This is only the opening volley, there will be much more to follow. Please stay tuned.
For information on how you can build your own cordwood shed, cottage or home go to www.CordwoodConstruction.org. While there, visit the eNewletter, the Articles, the Blog (What's New?) and if you are so inclined the Online Bookstore.
Mobile Saunas, by Kārlis O. Kalniņš, is a unique book with hundreds of photos and hundreds of (nomadic) saunas around the world. It's expensive, because it's a Hulu color print-on-demand book, but then again, $60 might not be too much to pay for an idea that could say, lead you to to turning an old VW bus into a portable sauna.
Here's what they say: "This is a collection of sauna trucks, sauna buses, sauna wagons, sauna cars, sauna bikes, sauna trailers, sauna boats, sauna floats, trail sweats, bastuflotten, bastubats, banya trucks, banya tents, and other mobile sweats. They are gathered from across North America, Russia, Europe and particularly Finland, where the annual Teuva mobile sauna festival attracts over 50 examples every year. After building several mobile saunas, Kārlis began a multi-year study of the mobile sauna phenomenon in form and culture. Collected here is the result of that study, including photographs, viewpoints of builders, commentary and notes on design.
Students of culture and architecture, sauna lovers and mobile sauna builders will appreciate the variety of forms, designs, styles and ideas revealed in this volume."

Just to get you started here's a few little bits:
Pattern: Simplicity 2226, I made view C with belt loops and no tie belt. Simplicity patterns are available at Joanns, Hancock fabrics, hobby lobby, etc. Hopefully there's a sale running somewhere, usually on sale they cost $.99 or $1.99.
Fabrics: (This is directly from the pattern envelope) damask, pique, twill, sateen, lightweight wool and wool blends, challis, crepe-back satin, jacquards, laundered silks-rayons, silk linen, brocade, satin, shantung, soft lightweight linen and linen blends.
I think a fine wale corduroy would also work well and of course any quilting weight cotton, too. I should also note that none of the sizes on the pattern require more than 2 1/8 yards of 44" wide fabric, most requiring just 2 yards!
Zipper: one 7" zipper
Other supplies needed: thread, hook/eye, lightweight fusible interfacing 1/2 yard would be more than plenty.
Here's the following breakdown of what the sew-a-long will probably look like:
Picking your size and tracing/cutting pattern pieces, fusing on interfacing
Creating pockets and main body of skirt.
Sew waistband and assemble to main skirt.
Inserting zipper (might also give it a whirl with an invisible zip which I think might be even easier), and finishing waistband.
Hemming & finished skirt reveal.
TBD: if anyone is interested I can hopefully figure out a linky party so you can all check out each other's skirts!
Oh and I just want to add a teensy little disclaimer here: I'm am by no means an expert nor do I know all the answers to questions that may come up, I'm just excited about getting to sew with friends and to be able to help as much as I can along the way! Thanks and I truly hope you'll join in! ♥

Burial is chilled, laconic, killer. Commercial Bwoy cautions any rival selectors thinking of watering down their sets with r and b. Blacka, Keety and Tena at the Vibes studio, early 90s.
Last few.
XL only, naturally.
A classic, originally released in 1986 on the Heavyweight label (spun out of the Heavyweight soundsystem, from the Wood Green and Tottenham areas of north London).
Originally released in 1974, Flesh Of My Skin is Keith Hudson's key achievement: magnificently and deadly serious, hauntingly unique.
Legendary, strange, compelling music.
Coupled with Ken Boothe, Memories. Double-barrelled digital onslaughts from Niney The Observer — the Dealing rhythm is aka Power-Saw, not for nothing — and both vocalists are inspired.
Riveting, deeply grooving digi-dubs from the late-80s. Replay Version sets the mood — malevolent, sick and haunted, but funky like a train, with cruelly brilliant effects; really a stunning piece of music.
This is the original, way-superior version of the song recut for Island. The dub too is breathtakingly powerful — a Shaka special. Inspired.
Another militant bad-bull from the Crat label out of Brooklyn. Out of the Stereo One sound, this is why Courtney ruled the dancehall at this time — with hits for Tubby, Jazzbo, Jammys and co. Killer dub too.
An apocalyptic record, full of dread — dubwise and deep from the first interstellar chords, over Wackies-style steppers drum and bass — with a dream-like atmosphere of pain and sufferation, mystery and redemption.
Six murderous outings for Lloyd Robinson's immortal rhythm on this showcase EP collecting singles produced by King Culture in Toronto and Kingston, Jamaica, during 1980-81.
A mad beast of a Dave Kelly — as the label logo has it (derived from Tubby, like the music) — faced down brilliantly by singer and deejay. Out originally in 1989 — another death-in-the-arena BR revive.
Last handful.
Recording at King Jammy's and Channel One in the late 80s, with Junior Delgado at the controls, Mice let off a series of records amongst the very deadliest of digital reggae.
These are the blistering dubs to the companion album, many of them previously unreleased.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — An 18-year-old Lockport man, who was wanted by police, was captured while hiding in a closet on Genesee Street on Thursday.
Cedric Carpenter, 147 Ross St., was charged with criminal contempt, obstruction of governmental administration and resisting arrest.
According to the report, police were called by a homeowner to Genesee Street for an unwanted person at about 1:30 p.m. and learned Carpenter was in the closet. Police called out to him but he refused to come out. Police found him curled in a small ball in the closet under numerous garbage bags filled with clothes.
There is an active order of protection requiring Carpenter not to have any contact with a resident of the house.
Police asked why he was hiding and he reportedly replied, "I think there might be a warrant out for my arrest."
Carpenter attempted to pull away numerous times despite being handcuffed. He was transported to police headquarters.

---- — SEABROOK — Claiming the town needs to significantly improve its level of "transparency" in government, a selectman last week apologized for past mistakes and vowed to do better.
During a meeting Friday to discuss the selection of the next town manager, Selectman Aboul Khan admitted that on a scale of one (low) to 100 (high), Seabrook's level of transparency sits at "about a 20."
"We hide behind things all the time," Khan said.
The comment came after selectman candidate Eric Small questioned the board on whether it had ever discussed picking the next town manager in non-public session. Interim Town Manager Joe Titone announced last week he is not interested in the position permanently and wants to return to serving the town exclusively as its emergency management director.
Although Selectman Brendan Kelly denied Small's assertion, Khan admitted it had happened and Selectman Ed Hess eventually agreed.
Hess said the issue of hiring a new manager had been discussed casually with Titone, perhaps at the end of closed, or executive, sessions. But no votes were taken or decisions made, Hess said.
During Friday's at times heated meeting, Khan acknowledged having made mistakes in violation of the state's Open Meeting Law, but vowed to correct his behavior in the future.
Khan blamed slip-ups on the fact that selectmen all have desks in the same room, where they gather and catch up on town business and written correspondence. That arrangement has resulted in "chance meetings" and the line being crossed, Khan said.
Both Kelly, who is running for re-election, and Hess took issue with Khan's evaluation of the degree of secret discussions among them.
"I've tried to accommodate others and I know we don't always see things the same way," Kelly said after the meeting. "In the past, I've ignored things, because none of us are perfect. But I'm not the problem. I'm very open. Have I ever made a mistake? Absolutely, I'm made a lot of them, but I've never woken up and felt I have betrayed the people of this town."
Kelly said he'll research more thoroughly the Open Meeting Law so violations don't happen, even by accident, in the future.
At the meeting, Kelly and Hess approved a motion to hire a professional recruitment firm to conduct the search for the new town manager and to start looking for the right recruiter immediately.
Khan voted against the motion, saying that in addition to the recruiter, he wanted a search committee consisting of other elected officials: the tax collector, town clerk, treasurer and the chairpeople of both the Budget Committee and Planning Board.
Khan said the search committee could cull the candidates, then send the top five or six to selectmen, who would make the final choice. He added that having more people involved in the selection process would improve the level of transparency in choosing the next town manager.
But Khan's motion for a recruiter/search committee combo failed to garner a second and died, as did Kelly's motion to skip spending the money for a recruiter altogether and for selectmen to handle the search themselves.
Khan implied Kelly didn't want a recruiting firm because he might have a candidate in mind already, but Kelly denied it.
After the meeting, Kelly said he believes the comments made at the meeting by Small and perhaps others could have been intended to harm his bid for re-election.
"It was a very, very tough day," Kelly said. "I was very upset about those accusations."
Small urged selectmen to hold off on the town manager search until after the election, which is about five weeks away. He said the new Board of Selectmen will be the one working with the town manager, so it wouldn't hurt to wait a few weeks until the board was in place.
Hess and Kelly disagreed, and Khan's motion to postpone the search until after the election failed to get a second.
Regardless of how or when the search is conducted, the selectmen's decision to hold a formal search for the next town manager ends speculation in town that the majority of the board intended to hire Titone permanently without a search. Formal searches have customarily been held in the past when new town managers were needed.
Kelly said he called Friday's meeting after Titone said early last week that he wasn't interested in staying on permanently.
Titone was hired in June 2012 to take over on an interim basis after former town manager Barry Brennan was suddenly placed on administrative leave. Brennan and the town eventually signed a separation agreement, which included a more than $120,000 settlement in Brennan's favor.
All three selectmen praised Titone's work over the past months, saying he did a great job and performed "some heavy lifting" on the town's behalf.
After the meeting, Titone said although he's enjoyed his experience as town manager, he preferred to simply go back to being emergency management director and let someone else take over for the long haul.

I write about finance and technology.
JPMorgan is using a Maxeler supercomputer to measure risk in its fixed income operations by assessing tens of thousands of possible market scenarios, constantly examining the time path and structure of the associated risk. With the supercomputer, which went live in December, the investment bank can calculate complex scenarios which used to take hours in just a few minutes. The investment bank was awarded the 'Most Cutting Edge IT Initiative' at the prestigious American Financial Technology Awards (AFTA).
Oskar Mencer, CEO and founder of the UK-based Maxeler, said other banks are using supercomputers, but only JPMorgan would talk about its operations.
With the new Maxeler technology, JPMorgan's trading businesses can now compute orders of magnitude more quickly, making it possible to improve our understanding and control of the profile of our complex trading risk," said Peter Cherasia, head of markets strategies at JPMorgan. The bank has ordered a second supercomputer which will be equivalent to over 12,000 conventional x86 cores, providing 128 Teraflops of performance.
John Barr, research director for financial markets at the 451 Group said Maxeler's dataflow technology supports researchers who want to focus on the data and not just the computation.
"The Maxeler Dataflow Supercomputer enables JPMorgan to minimize its risk and respond more effectively than its competitors to rapidly changing market conditions, particularly the financial turmoil in Europe." Dataflow is the term Maxeler uses to describe its racks made up of 1U (pizza box) MaxNodes. Each MaxNode is a computing powerhouse with 12 Intel Xeon CPU cores, up to 192GB of RAM for the CPUs and up to 4 MAX3 dataflow compute cards, each with the latest Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGAs.
"The true value of accelerating applications through using alternative computing approaches like data parallel or dataflow comes from enabling new levels of performance, changing the user's competitive dynamics or unlocking new market opportunities," said Carl Claunch, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner.
Maxeler uses Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) accelerators and maps compute-intensive algorithms directly into parallel FPGA hardware and couples that with a conventional CPU like an Intel processor over a high-speed I/O (Input/Output) bus.
FPGA's are equally well known for their high speed and difficulty in programming; Maxeler's deep skills in working with the devices is at the core of its supercomputing success.
Mencer said the company's skills with FPGAs were developed in research projects at Stanford beginning in 1995 with Michael J Flynn, Maxeler's chairman and a professor at Stanford University. The company moved to London because the world's best pool of FPGA experts were coming out of Imperial College London. More than a third of the company's 80 employees are from Imperial, he added.
Maxeler programs FPGAs in about the time it takes to write software, Mencer said.
"FPGAs are like paper. You can say paper makes it really hard to write a Pulitzer winning article, but it is just a surface. The FPGA doesn't have anything in it, it's all blank infrastructure. For over 16 years we have focused on what to put on there and to make it easy to write and as fast as possible to compute. You have FPGAs in your car, in your TV, in your monitors."
Definitions of supercomputers are unsettled. Mencer said that a cluster doing transactions like Google would be a farm, a cluster or distributed computing.
Great article, offering insights into the two approaches to accelerating compute speeds, whether via FPGA or GPU.
Curious why the image is an Altera FPGA, when Maxeler uses Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGAs. Disclosure, Xilinx is a client.
Great article! Way to take the complex topic of FPGAs and make examples & analogies that the intelligent layperson can understand.
At Wall Street FPGA (www.WallStreetFPGA.com) we have seen that this is just the beginning. The more areas of financial services one explores, the more uses for FPGAs become apparent. And while the larger banks such as JPMC are leading the charge, there is evidence of exchanges, broker-dealers, buy-side, and other groups researching and using this technology to save energy and remain competitive.
Sometimes FPGAs get lumped into the polarizing category of High Frequency Trading but when considered (as above) for risk checks, saving energy, and really protecting pensions and retirements funds from abrupt market movements, the importance hits a lot closer to home.
The tech side of financial services industry is currently dominated software people who live primarily in the Intel x86 (CPU) world. Their background and training is in a way counter-intuitive to the way FPGAs work not to mention there are territorial issues to deal with. Once these *minor* issues are surpassed, hopefully this technology will have wider acceptance.

Treasury: Trillion-dollar coin would not be legal
Saturday - 1/12/2013, 5:44pm EST
WASHINGTON (AP) - Forget about the government minting a $1 trillion coin to solve its debt-limit crisis.
Treasury Department spokesman Anthony Coley said Saturday that neither his department nor the Federal Reserve believes the law can or should be used to produce such a coin to avoid a coming battle with Congress over government borrowing.
Some of President Barack Obama's liberal allies have been promoting the coin strategy.
The government has reached its $16.4 trillion borrowing limit. By late February or early March, Treasury will run out of ways to cover debts and could begin defaulting on government loans.
White House spokesman Jay Carney says Congress has two options at its disposal: either pay the tab for its spending or send the nation into default, which would have serious economic consequences.

With plans to make Christmas 2013 closely resemble a night out with Charles Bukowski during his downtime, I've been thinking hard about what booze I want. Historically, I would have written to Santa Claus, but I recently read a thought-provoking essay by biologist Dickie Dawkins and now no longer believe in his existence. This, then, is an open letter to anyone who knows me and wants to get me the boozes.

Finally we've arrived at the halfway milestone; that point in Movember when our upper lips no longer look lazy and unkempt, but instead play host to genuine moustache excellence. The chaps at Master of Malt are now fully fledged mo-wearers, and could proudly play the lead role in the upcoming biopic of Tom Selleck that I'm secretly writing when Ben's not looking. That is, aside from one of the new "placement stiaowdents" and our MD, Justin, both of whom now must cope with ridicule and social ostracism for their inability to develop anything more than a shadow under their noses. They live with their shame.
Onto the really important stuff, so far, just halfway through Movember 2011, we've raised £5,135! Cripes! We've done this by selling our marvellous Movember whisky – a stunning 9 year old Glenfarclas drawn from two casks. We're selling the bottle for £39.95 and you can read full tasting notes here.

Glenfarclas added a 40 year old to their core range this year. A bold move like this is testament to Glenfarclas' incredible stocks, and most distilleries would struggle to maintain production of a core range 40 year old bottling.
It was set apart from the year's other high end releases by two factors. One was quality; we've sung its praises before so we won't go into too much detail, but suffice to say it's a stunner! The second factor was price; most whiskies in this age range (particularly from stalwart premium distilleries like Glenfarclas) retail at a minimum of a grand. Amazingly, you can find Glenfarclas 40 at just £289 (from us of course!). More...

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Cleveland County Treasurer Jim Reynolds said property tax statements will be in the mail next week and property owners should receive them around Dec. 1.
The taxes are due by Dec. 31.
"I've got to give credit to my staff," Reynolds said. "We just got the file Friday afternoon. They worked late Friday and came in on Saturday and got it done."
People can divide the payment into two parts but must pay no less than half of the tax amount due no later than Dec. 31 in order to avoid being delinquent.
"If they're attempting to make half payments, they must make sure, to the penny, that it's at least half. That's state law," Reynolds said.
"If their total is an odd amount like 35 cents, they need to round it up to the higher penny," Chief Deputy Mona Nelson said. "Our software system won't even accept it at the lower amount."
Nelson suggested rounding the amount up to the next dollar. For those who pay half by Dec. 31, the second half will be due March 31.
Reynolds said anyone who purchased property after Oct. 1 will not receive a statement but will still have to pay the taxes and should be aware of that. In many cases, the mortgage company will pay the bill and has been collecting that money along with the monthly mortgage payment.
People who paid cash or who are being financed by a privately held note still will be responsible for paying the taxes.
Paying the tax bill has never been easier. People can pay in person, mail in a check or pay online. Reynolds recommends mailing in a check, but any payment method is allowed.
"They can pay online with a credit card," he said. "There's a fee charged from the processing company of 2.5 percent. It's not our fee."
To pay online, go to clevelandcountytreasurer.com.
"We really want to encourage people to visit that website," Reynolds said.
People also can call for information, but the phones will be busy during the tax billing season and people may be better served by checking the FAQ section of frequently asked questions online at the website.
Before paying, people should consider whether their mortgage company is paying the bill, as the treasurer's office must accept the first payment received and must refund the second payment. If a person pays and then the treasurer's office receives a second payment from the mortgage company, the second payment will be refunded.
Since common procedure is that people pay the tax ahead of time along with their mortgage payment, most companies roll taxes and insurance into the mortgage bill. It's better to check with the mortgage company rather than making a double payment.
"Most mortgage companies are absolutely diligent to pay," Reynolds said.
The full treasurer's staff will be on hand following the Thanksgiving holiday through New Years. It's not a time the staff is allowed to take vacation, as the tax season requires the office be fully staffed. Still, there will be long lines as Dec. 31 nears, and Reynolds said it's wise to pay early if you are coming to pay in person.
"I recommend people pay by mail," he said. "If they choose to come in, we suggest they not wait until the last couple of days."
He suggested coming at least a week before the due date in order to avoid long lines and a lengthy wait.
