In honor of the late, great Joe Falls, it's a Fish Fry Friday!
If this were a few years ago, the Tigers' signing of reliever Joba Chamberlain on Thursday would have been big news.
Back then, Chamberlain was a big deal with a big arm.
But a few injuries and a few years later have left the once phenom more of an average pitcher than anything.
Worse, Joba, 28, had a bad year with the New York Yankees last season. He was 2-1 with a bloated 4.93. He also had a poor strikeout-to-walk (38-26) ratio in 42 innings of work. His WHIP was 1.73, again not good.
The Tigers signed the right-hander to a one-year, $2.5 million contract. Chamberlain will pitch out of the Detroit bullpen.
For sure, it's just a cheap flyer by the Tigers. They hope Chamberlain can rebound and give them something. If not, the gamble didn't cost much and they could easily cut him and move on.
It's another move this offseason where it appears the Tigers value the cost more than the talent. It seems as if they are in payroll reduction mode.
Blue Out @ Ford Field
The Lions play the biggest game of the season on Monday night when the Baltimore Ravens visit Ford Field.
The Lions have lost a three of their last four and are in a three-way dogfight to win the division and make the postseason.
Fans are being asked to wear blue for the nationally-televised game.
For sure, it will look good on TV. But none of it will matter if the Lions can't play better than they have the past month.
It was like the division was gift-wrapped for them when the Bears' Jay Cutler and the Packers' Aaron Rodgers were both injured.
Instead of running away with the NFC North, the Lions have floundered.
A loss on Monday night could be fatal. And make fans, well, blue.
Hall of Fame Voters Off Mark
The Baseball Hall of ballot for the Class of 2014 was mailed out a few weeks ago. Voters have until the end of the month to make their selections. I have a vote.
Sadly, however, it seems as if some of my brethren have lost their way.
Yes, they have taken the proverbial wrong turn in Albuquerque.
They no longer vote the best of the best in. They are so caught up on punishing this Steroid Era that they have overvalued previous players that simply don't belong.
In doing so, they are almost doing more damage to the American Pastime than the players who used performance enhancing drugs.
In the sense that they've blurred the lines, skewed the facts.
They are wrong, dead wrong.
They only thing worse than not putting in players that clearly belong - Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa - is putting in players that don't belong - Jim Rice, Andrew Dawson, Bert Blyleven and Goose Gossage.

Library news and happenings.
The used book business is booming, according to a recent article in Publishers Weekly. The internet and the economy are driving supply and demand. The internet has greatly expanding the buying and selling opportunities for used books, while economically some booksellers report long-time collectors are selling their collections and downsizing.
Some bookstores report more business in used books than new books, both in their store and on their website and have devoted more floor space and staff resources accordingly.
Of course if you are a public library user, you check out books from us rather than purchase them BUT we know folks want to own some books and have their own personal library. We librarians feel the same way!
As a KPL user, you can have easily have it both ways. Our very good friends, the Friends of KPL, operate the bookstore on the lower level of Central Library. They have only used books and very gently priced, less than on the internet or at most other used bookstores, and to make it even better, the revenue from the bookstore supports library programs and services, such as our just-completed Summer Reading games.
Come visit the library and the Friends Bookstore – borrow a book, buy a book.
Six, long-time, KPL employees will be retiring over the summer; August 31 is the last day for most of them. This is more staff than typically retire in a year, in fact, it is about three year's worth rolled into one summer.
Prior to 1990, KPL was a school district public library governed by the KPS School Board. Our employees were in the public school employee retirement system. When we became an independent district library in 1990, those employees remained in that system, while new employees joined a different one.
The state is offering a combination of incentives to those in the public school employee retirement system to retire by August 31. We have 18 eligible employees; six accepted the offer to retire this summer.
KPL has been a much better place for the combined decades of service from these six staff members. They answered reference questions, checked out materials, conducted programs, oversaw our personnel activities, coordinated meeting room usage, represented KPL in the community, helped chart the direction of the library.
We will miss them all, as colleagues and work-place friends, but we know they will continue to offer input - now it will be from the perspective of library patron rather than library staff member!
My heartfelt thanks goes to each one for their dedication to KPL and our patrons. My best wishes as they move on to the next chapter in life, hopefully with more time to read all those books that have passed through their hands over the years.
It seems as if every popular magazine or newspaper I pick up has an article about ebooks, downloading content, changes in the compensation model for authors and publishers. The professional journals and newsletters I read, take those very same topics and examine them from the library perspective – how will libraries be impacted by these changes, how can we stay current and relevant to our patrons.
A recent issue of Newsweek included an article on self-publishing. One author was unable to find a publisher for his first novel, decided to upload it to the Amazon Kindle Store, sold many copies, attracted the attention of a publisher, his book was published in hardcover. This is the opposite of the usual route.
This nontraditional route is becoming increasingly common. Print-on-demand is also a rapidly developing new model for publishing. One author reports earning more money per ebook than per hardcover – basically the middleman has been cut out in that model.
I like a quote in the article: "The gatekeepers have become who they should have been in the first place: the readers." We readers decide what we want to read, in what format we want to read it, and if we want to buy it or check it out from the library. Some authors attribute the success of books published in these nontraditional ways to user generated reviews….we readers express our opinions freely and now increasingly widely.
Clearly these publishing changes will impact public libraries. We'll follow developments closely. As those who read move increasingly into ebooks and downloadable content, we'll provide more and more books in those formats too, but we'll continue to have the traditional print books for quite some time.
Personally, I still prefer a traditional book, especially for the beach, but since I wrote my last blog entry, I've seen my first e-reader on the Lake Michigan beach.
Last Sunday, I walked about 45 minutes along the Lake Michigan beach. It was a perfect beach day with lots of folks swimming in the warmer-than-usual lake and sunbathing. Many of the sunbathers were also reading. As I walked, I tried to see what they were reading.
Most were holding mass market paperbacks or magazines. I didn't notice one single e-reader in spite of the recent e-reader ads that tout how well they work on a sunny day at the beach. I noticed many reading one of the page turners from Stieg Larsson, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; Girl Who Played with Fire; Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. I could tell from the cover graphics, that many were holding mysteries, but I couldn't see the titles. People was a popular magazine choice that day.
After my walk, I returned to my beach chair and continued reading Let the Great World Spin, the August title for my book group. I'm looking forward to the discussion – there's much to talk about in this one.
What are you reading on the beach or in your back yard this summer? And don't forget to add it to your reading log for the grown-up summer reading game.
Several times recently, I've said or written my prediction that traditional printed books will continue to be our focus for the remainder of my library career. If that prediction is going to be true, it's a good thing I'm nearer the end of my career than the beginning!
It seems almost every publication I read lately, has an article about e-books. Amazon has announced sales of digital books increased 207% in the first five months of the year and it sells more books for its Kindle e-reader than it does traditional hardcover volumes. Last month they sold nearly twice as many Kindle books as hardcover ones.
Barnes & Noble reports physical books, as opposed to digital ones, will be the majority of its sales for the next five years but their future is bright with the Nook, their e-reader. Publishers still depend on bookstores to display their books and promote authors and they are a destination to test new products. They see a market for both.
Other publications report that authors are now bypassing publishers and posting older works or unpublished works directly on Amazon in exchange for 70% of the sales price. Many authors are reportedly earning more from such e-book sales than from hardcover sales, consistent with Amazon's overall sales direction.
Of course this all has implications for libraries. Some are proposing inviting authors to share their works directly with libraries in digital format with libraries paying for each transaction. Some suggest a central depository for libraries to draw on and pay per download. All agree such an approach would require a coordinated effort – no individual library could accomplish this to any significant degree on its own.
I still stand by my prediction that traditional printed books will dominate during the remainder of my library career but I certainly see the shift to digital books and their advantages. That shift to a major focus on digital with printed books as almost an aside, could well happen during the career of our younger librarians.
Although we do have e-readers and e-books to check out, traditional printed books are still our mainstay and will be for some time.
Come visit soon; check out a traditional printed book OR an e-book!

News Article
Though it was originally thought to be a Left 4 Dead prequel, it turns out that Overkill's Payday: No Mercy is actually just set in L4D's Mercy Hospital, and is non-canonical for Valve's L4D universe. Still, that's not to say the game won't be a lot of fun. After the jump, check out a new trailer.
Valve's Chet Faliszek told Kotaku that "This is a 100% Overkill made mission for Payday: Heist simply set in No Mercy hospital from the Left 4 Dead series. It is not telling the origins of the Infection and is not canon. There is a little cameo from one of the L4D characters (the comic should give you a hint) and a fun little easter egg with a payoff later in Left 4 Dead. Just us having some fun with a studio we are friends with and who have also made a great co-op game."

[continued from above]
In 1921 Harry Goldenberg introduced the first wrapped Peanut Chews candy for retail sales and in the 1930s the candy was converted from a full size bar to the small individual pieces we know today. The originals are made with dark chocolate. At some time later the company added a milk-coated piece and called it Chew-ets.
I am 42 years old. Back in the 60's when I was a really young kid with 3 brothers close to my age, I lived in Philadelphia, around the corner from the Goldberg Peanut Chew factory. Just past the factory was a candy store named Nellie was about as old as a person can get, and her store was even older. My fondest memory of Nellie's was the long windowed penny candy display with dozens of candy selections.
On hot summer days, the smell of peanut chews being made at the factory would waft down my block and get my brothers and me ready for some candy. One such hot summer day, my mother gave us a quarter (enough to bring back quite a haul in penny candies) and off we went to Nellie's. We made our purchase with much fanfare when we left Nellie's we parked ourselves quickly at one of the Peanut Chew Factory's loading dock doors to divide up what we had bought.
As we sat there and a man from the factory came out the loading dock door with a big blue commercial sized box of Peanut Chews. "Don't eat that other candy, he said to us, "Eat Goldenberg Peanut Chews" as he handed us four the entire box. We believed at that moment that we were the luckiest kids in the world. Funny enough, the candy that I was munching on when the fellow approached us was none other than a Peanut Chew! ~ Luis from New Jersey

OKLAHOMA CITY — Companies trying to extract oil and natural gas from the Mississippi Lime formation and other fields in northwest Oklahoma and western Kansas are dealing with insufficient access to electricity.
Oil companies can use electric generators to drill and complete wells in the dense rock formation called the Mississippi Lime, but the pumps needed to suck the oil to the surface require vast amounts of power.
Power demand can vary widely, but one section with three oil wells and a water disposal pump can use nearly one megawatt of power, or about the amount needed to power 1,000 homes, said Steve Slawson, vice president of Slawson Exploration.
Slawson controls acreage in Logan County on the edge of the Mississippi Lime.
"One reason we bought the acreage in Logan County is because it was closer to the metro area with better infrastructure," he said. "But we still will have to spend several million dollars extending the electric lines to our wells."
Western Farmers supplies the electricity needs of more than two-thirds of mostly rural Oklahoma.
The utility is building 135 miles of new transmission lines in northern Oklahoma to help meet some of the sudden new power needs, but the new lines can't be built fast enough for the oil companies.

Firefighters and other first responders from around the North Bay attended memorial services for Cal Fire battalion chief Karen Jones Shubin, who died Jan. 23 after a two-year battle with cancer.
The funeral took place Tuesday morning at St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Napa and the burial was at Valley Memorial Park in Novato.
Shubin, 47, worked for Cal Fire for 29 years, mostly in the Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit, and most recently out of the Glen Ellen station, according to Division Chief David Shew. He said Shubin was diagnosed with brain cancer two years ago and did not go back to work after that.
She is survived by her husband David, a fire captain in San Rafael, and their four children. Battalion Chief Ted Peterson of the Novato Fire District said Shubin has a brother-in-law with Novato Fire and one with Santa Rosa Fire.
Shubin grew up and lived in Napa. She was a 1983 Napa High School graduate and earned a degree at UC Davis in 1987, according to the Napa Valley Register.
Hundreds of people have left messages on Cal Fire's Facebook page honoring Shubin, calling her a "very dedicated professional" and "fun."
Among the messages:
"You fought the good fight — rest easy now, you've earned it."
"R.I.P Chief. Thank you for your service."
"See you on roll call."
"Too young to die."
"It is always sad when we lose our heroes."
The messages have come from firefighters as far away as Sonora, Mexico; Ventura; Madera; and Santa Cruz.
For those who would like to help defray the family's medical and other costs, send donations to the Shubin Family Trust, Rabobank, 700 Trancas St., Napa, CA 94558.

By John Vogl
DETROIT -- Rasmus Ristolainen and Zemgus Girgensons were surprisingly calm Tuesday night. Ristolainen slept for 11 hours, while Girgensons said he had his best night of shut-eye in a long time.
The nerves are kicking in today, though.
Ristolainen and Girgensons will make their NHL debuts tonight when the Sabres visit the Detroit Red Wings. The uncommon poise possessed by the teenagers helped them make Buffalo's opening-night roster, but even the most mature player gets nervous for a first game.
"It should be a good one, I hope," Girgensons said this afternoon in Joe Louis Arena. "I just want to help the team, don't mess up. Everyone's probably nervous in their first game, not let that go in the head and just keep doing what I've been doing.
"The rush is going to be so high that you don't need to do anything else to get motivated for the game. I've just got to go out there and do my thing."
Ristolainen has one goal for his debut.

- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Season the squash with salt and pepper. Place the squash halves with the cut side down into a glass baking dish. Pour the water into the dish.
- Bake the squash in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Scrape the squash with a fork into a bowl. Save the dish for later use. Keep the oven hot.
- Cook the Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet, reserving the oil, and set aside to cool. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil to the skillet and allow to get hot; cook and stir the onions and garlic in the hot oil until the garlic is browned and the onions are translucent, 7 to 10 minutes. Chop the cooked sausage and add to the mixture along with the squash. Season with the oregano, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the mixture to the glass baking dish.
- Arrange the apple slices over the mixture in the baking dish. Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over the apples. Scatter the almonds over the apples and sprinkle with the Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the the cheese is melted completely, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.

A big hit!!! I cut the cooking time way down by piercing the squash with a fork 5 times then microwaving it for 12 minutes. I let it cool while I prepared the rest and then scooped out the seeds and added the rest to the skillet. I also left the peel on the apple and added a little bit of sage along with the oregano. This is a fantastic recipe using seasonal ingredients. Yum!
This was excellent. My garden has an abundance of squash that was mislabeled as zucchini. I don't really care for squash. Found this recipe and I will definitely make again. My husband loved it too, though he thought you should rename it "Squashington."
I was really surprised by how good this turned out. I was a little leery. It just sounded kind of different. Things I did different: I chopped the apples and sauted them with the onions and garlic. I used one onion, 2 cloves garlic, no oregano (ran out last night) and some mrs dash. I toasted the almonds and put some brown sugar on them and used a fabulous white cheese on top called "Dubliner" that I got at Sams Club. Surprisingly DELISH!

Deciding to stand side-by-side rather than across the table from one another in 2012, Republicans, Conservatives, and Tea Party members flocked to Riverhead's last week to stand behind Randy Altschuler, their choice to run a rematch against Rep. Tim Bishop, D-Southampton, this fall.
The showing marked a stark contrast with 2010, the year Suffolk County GOP Chair John Jay LaValle called Altschuler a "flawed candidate" and Suffolk 9-12, an East End Tea Party group, threw their support behind Chris Cox, the son of the New York State GOP Committee Chairman Ed Cox.
Amidst that division, by just under 600 votes.
The State Chair was on hand last week supporting Altschuler at the Suffolk 9-12-sponsored event. While the mainstream GOP and conservative wings stand united behind Altschuler, Mary Meyer - who co-founded Suffolk 9-12 along with her husband Bob - stated that unity amongst the different groups should be illustrated in the candidate they all support. And that's a work in progress.
"We want to win. That's what it's about," said Meyer, whose group is supporting Altschuler this time around. "There is to some degree a meeting point that has to be made and I think that we're all working toward that."
Altschuler, who lives in St. James, has returned a more confident candidate than last time around, openly admitting how he "let Tim Bishop run all over [me]" in 2012.
The former businessman took wide criticism two years ago for starting a company which specializes in securing overseas jobs for American companies, Office Tiger. But this time Altschuler has his own point of attack, labeling five-term congressman a career politician who has lost site of what's important.
"It's a sad state in this country when have to apologize for being successful," he said. "When we have to apologize for living the American Dream. When people like Tim Bishop, who have gotten rich on the backs of the taxpayers ... is somebody we honor, while Americans who are working every day, living the American Dream, are the ones that we vilify. That's not the kind of America I want to live in," Altschuler said.
But before the businessman hears from Bishop he'll have to best another former opponent.
George Demos, a former Securities and Exchange Commissions lawyer from Ronkonkoma, took 30 percent of the Republican primary vote in 2010. And this time, with Chris Cox out of the picture, Demos believes he can score the conservative base that gave Cox 25 percent of the vote in 2010. The primary is set for June 26.
"Party bosses don't control the will of the voters. Surprisingly, most people didn't get that last time," Demos said this week. "And Randy Altschuler lost in a year when Republicans couldn't lose. The reason Randy can't win is simple: the outsourcing issue. I don't care what party you're from or what beliefs you have. You can't go to the voters saying you made a living specializing in outsorucing, and then say 'I want to be your congressman.'"
Altschuler supporters say being a more seasoned candidate will help him win over more voters this time around. Others have pointed to the amount Altschuler can donate to fund his own campaign – he donated $2.9 million in 2010.
Demos spent $500,000 to run his primary campaign. His campaign committee has nearly $90,000 on hand, according to disclosure reports, compared to Altschuler's $580,000.

The women's hockey era at Niagara appears to be over.
The university issued a press release today, saying that they have restructured the atheltics department.
"The restructuring includes the addition of women's track and field as a varsity program and the immediate contraction of the women's ice hockey program," the release said. "In addition, money will be invested into the women's lacrosse program to meet the standards outlined by the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference."
Here's the background:
In December, the MAAC had its meeting of the Council of Presidents where they approved a five-year strategic plan. That plan included an emphasis on lacrosse.
"Another major component of the strategic plan is to elevate men's and women's lacrosse to core sports beginning in 2014-15. At that time, the league's members will begin a multi-year plan to increase funding for lacrosse, which will include an increase in full-time coaching positions and scholarships."
Niagara has women's lacrosse, but not men's lacrosse. It appears the restructuring was at least in part to address the needs of upgrading its women's lacrosse program to comply with upcoming MAAC standards. The Purple Eagles finished 2-11-1 overall, 1-5-0 in the MAAC. They are 1-4 to start this season.
The women's hockey team had fallen on hard competitive times (they went 10-16-8 overall, 3-6-3 in College Hockey America this season) they did go to the Frozen Four in 2002 and already have the infrastructure. Hockey, however, is one of the more expensive sports to maintain.
That leaves Division III Buffalo State as the only collegiate varsity program in Western New York.
Niagara will begin competing in track and field in the 2013-14 season. There are six other schools in the MAAC which have track and field -- Saint Peter's, Manhattan, Iona, Rider, Loyola and Marist. In Western New York, all local schools have a cross country program, but only the University at Buffalo and Buffalo State have track and field programs.

I'm in complete agreement with the Rev. Steve Kern ("Counterpoint: Soul concern," June 22, Gazette) about resisting on all fronts the idea that homosexuality is the norm.
When Bob Dylan said they'll stone you when you're trying to keep your seat, he may have been talking about state Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City.

MATLAB Coder
Translating MATLAB algorithms to C code involves specifying implementation requirements. MATLAB Coder guides you through this iterative process while enabling you to stay within the MATLAB language. You ensure that your algorithm is compliant for code generation by generating a MEX function that wraps the compiled code for execution back within MATLAB. MATLAB Coder produces a report that identifies any errors which must be fixed to make your MATLAB algorithm compliant for code generation. You iterate between fixing errors and regenerating a MEX function until your MATLAB algorithm is suitable for code generation.
You can now generate either C or C++ source code or a MEX function tuned for performance from your MATLAB algorithm.
C or C++ source code enables you to:
The MEX function can be called in place of the original MATLAB code to:

The Norman Transcript
OKLAHOMA CITY — When a EF-5 tornado hit Moore on May 20, help poured in from around the country.
Among other organizations, the Oklahoma City Thunder have been front and center in supplying support to the Moore community. That included donating to rebuild public outdoor basketball courts at Briarwood and Plaza Towers elementary schools.
The Thunder continued its involvement Wednesday when the entire team played Santa Claus as they hosted its annual Holiday Assist Shopping Spree, and took 10 families directly affected by the Moore tornado on a holiday shopping spree at a Target in north Oklahoma City.
"It means a lot to all of us," Thunder forward Kevin Durant said, "being able to give back to the community. We all take pride in it. It's my favorite time of the year. I am very grateful to get this opportunity."
Each family was given $1,000 and assigned a player to take around the store and help them pick out any items they wanted. Durante had a pair of brothers.
Kendrick Perkins had 5- and 4-year-olds Alexander and Brian Dunn, who told him they get mad sometimes that they lost all of their stuff in the tornado. Perkins responded by telling them it's OK to get mad sometimes.
"I always think about, 'What if it happened to me? Wouldn't I want someone to do the same for me?'" Perkins explained. "We're always doing it from the heart."
Nick Collison shopped with 5-year-old Annie Garbelman who knew exactly what she wanted.
"She got 12 Barbies," an amazed Collison said. "She just kept throwing Barbies in the cart. She knew right away that's what she wanted. She went straight to that aisle. That was quickest I have ever seen it. She just kept throwing them in. We ended up getting a winter coat, so I felt somewhat responsible. It was one of the most fun things I have ever done."
This was the sixth consecutive year the Thunder have provided shopping sprees. In the past, it was usually for grandmothers so they could provide for their grandchildren. Because of the devastation of the May 20 tornado, they wanted to change it up a little.
All the families have been working with Sunbeam Family Services since the May storms. The sixth annual event is part of Thunder Holiday Assist.
"It's one of my favorite things we do here," Collison said. "With all the stuff we do in the community, its my favorite. It's fun to see kids first hand how happy they are. It makes Christmas a lot better for these families. They've been through a lot this year," Collison said. "A lot of them lost their toys, so to be able to replace some of that and make Christmas a little better means a lot."
While the toys, clothes and games were important, getting to spend time with members of the Thunder and Thunder girls made the event special for the families and the players.
"It's special because, I think no matter what happens in life, I don't know if you ever plan to be in a position where spending time with other people and giving back means so much to someone else," Derek Fisher said. "I think it's always humbling to have these opportunities."

During the holiday season, when gift giving is on the minds of many, local non-profit agencies have Christmas wishes of their own.
Sometimes the greatest gift can be that of "helping the helpers." Agencies are often in need of office supplies and new equipment. The Goshen Salvation Army is hoping for donations to replace its outdated computer lab, according to Maj. Allen Hanton.
"We originally had a 10-laptop computer lab donated through a foundation," Hanton said. "We have not been able to keep up with technology and those computers are now very antiquated."
The computers are used by and for clients. With the laptops, clients are helped with job searches online, with creating resumes, checking email and with filling out various government forms for assistance.
Hanton said the old computers are not compatible with many of the tasks the clients need to better their situations or receive assistance. He is hoping funds can be raised to purchase new computers and software — but not just any computers will work.
"The Salvation Army has a certain standard that we have to use," he said. "With the firewall that we have in our building and the things we have to put on them, we need a certain type of computer."
So funds, rather than donated computers, are what the agency needs, Hanton said.
The Salvation Army is also always in need of donations of non-perishable food items for the food pantry.
"Food comes in and goes out as quickly," Hanton said. "For the past four or five months, it has cost around $2,500 a month to keep the pantry to the point where we can give out food."
Hanton said donations can be made in someone's name as a Christmas gift.
"We will write to the person they are donating in honor of, saying an amount of non-perishables have been given in their name," Hanton said. "It will say 'it will help X amount of families' so they know they are being honored."
Hanton said he hopes the giving spirit will keep on past the holidays as well, as the winter months can be especially hard on the food pantry stock.
Giving time
The Window is also in need of non-perishable items for its clients, as well as warm winter clothing.
"When it comes to donations, when it is winter, we always need winter gear," said Executive Assistant Lisa Thompson. "Some of our clients are actually homeless. They have nothing but a flimsy summer coat."
She said men's items are very hard to come by.
"We never have enough of men's gloves, pants, coats and hats," she said.
Thompson said her agency also sees a drop off of giving after the holidays and she hopes those less fortunate will remain in people's thoughts after the tree is down.
"In February, March and April, things sort of slack off," she said.
The gift of time and effort would also be appreciated at The Window, especially with its Meals on Wheels program, which provides food delivery to homebound and the elderly.
"We are having drivers drop out," Thompson said. "A lot of them (drivers) are elderly and it is getting harder for them to get out and around. Meals on Wheels needs drivers and dispatchers."
The Boys & Girls Club of Goshen is also hoping for the gift of time this holiday season and beyond.
"We can always use volunteers," said Associate Executive Director Marc Vendl. "We are really looking for volunteers with woodworking skills right now."
Along with many other educational and art programs, the agency has a woodworking shop.
Vendl said monetary donations for education supplies and day-to-day operations are also welcome and can be given in a loved one's name this Christmas.
Threefold giving
Buying a gift for a friend or family can also spread holiday cheer times three at one local retailer.
Ten Thousand Villages, 206 S. Main St., Goshen, has designated "giving back" shopping Thursdays on which a portion of the proceeds are donated to local non-profits, according to Education Coordinator Susan Nelson.
Ten Thousand Villages Goshen is one of a network of nonprofit fair trade retailers in the United States and Canada. Fair trade retailers work with artisans in more than 35 countries in developing regions in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. The agency builds trading relationships in which artisans receive a fair price for their handmade crafts.
On the Thursdays leading up to Christmas, a portion of the sales proceeds will benefit non-profits, including Hello Gorgeous Dec. 6 and IU Health Goshen Hospital's charitable foundation Dec. 13.
"It not only makes a wonderful gift for the person you are giving it to, it benefits the artisans directly and gives back to the community," Nelson said. "It can make you feel good about spending your money."
There is a large selection of gifts for people of both genders and all ages, Nelson said. For a woman, perhaps handcrafted jewelry or a scarf. For men, handmade wallets or unique puzzles. For the budding chef, cookbooks are available. And there are many children's toys and novelties. The store also carries a wide variety of home decor and other items.
The volunteers who staff the store will also gift wrap the items with paper and bows made by artists in Bangladesh, Nelson said. Or the paper can be purchased for wrapping at home.
Gift giving doesn't have to be tangible. In Goshen, there is an opportunity to provide the gift of mental health to people unable to afford treatment. Each year, Oaklawn touches the lives of thousands in the community who suffer from mental illness and addiction, according to Matthew Lentsch, director of development. Oaklawn provides millions of dollars in patient assistance and charity care, with approximately 30 percent of the annual budget allocated to some form of patient financial assistance, Lentsch reported. Donations can be made through the Oaklawn Foundation for Mental Health, a non-profit organization, for several different purposes, including:
• Charity care, to make mental health and addiction care available to everyone who needs it, regardless of background, belief or ability to pay.
• Endowments, which guarantee Oaklawn services for future generations.
• Capital needs, providing the latest tools and technology.
Sponsorships at Loveway are another way of holiday giving. The agency provides therapeutic horseback riding for disabled children at no cost to the child. According to Shelley Becker, development associate, the public can sponsor a student for a semester for $375. They can also adopt a horse for Christmas. The donor can pick the animal they wish to adopt. A $250 donation provides tack, feed and veterinarian expenses. A $100 donation provides a personalized halter and matching saddle blanket; $50 a new lead rope fly mask and water bucket; and $25 a bag of grain and feeder bucket for the stall.
Along with donations for day-to-day operations, donations are needed for the agency's "Journey of the Spirit Horse" program, the second stage of its "Cowboy Poetry" program. The classes teach troubled students — through a relationship with the horses — honor, integrity, self-esteem, forgiveness, trust and responsibility. There are many art sessions requiring supplies that go along with the curriculum, Thompson said, and donations can be made for that purpose.

......And I've Played Hundreds. Taylor, Breedlove, Gibson, Martin, Ovation, etc. The List Goes On and On. Being a staunch Fender Player- It never sat right with me to have to go to another brand to record or play a Live Gig that demanded Dead-On Tuning. No Offence- but even
the higher end Fender Acoustics of the past just wouldn't cut it. When I heard that this Limited Run beauty was going to be offered with all the features that I require in an acoustic- I got very exited. After careful investigation that included numerous phone calls and e-mails to various Dealers and Reps I ordered one and got #45 of 150.
Thanks Fender- I can finally say that I only play Fender Instruments

The beer exits the bottle a dark yellow color with thin white foam. It looks about right. The aroma is surprisingly strong with heavy notes of bread dough. Grass speckles the background. As time goes on, the aroma subsides some, but continues to be very strong for this style, although certainly not offensive. The palate presents a heavy dose of bread as well along with some nice grainy pale malt. A slight kiss of bitterness sends it on its way. Nothing wrong with this beer, pretty average for the style. A nice drinker on a warm summer afternoon.

Pours a clear golden yellow, with a white head. Slight citrus & lemon on the nose. Possibly pale malt, but not detecting pils malt. Some bitter lemony hops on a pleasant pale malt base. As a purist I can't see how its called a kolsch without german hops or pils malt. However, a nice drinkable beer for a warm day.

look: 4.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: Seems to have a complexity to it, jumping from gold (just shy of old gold) to a bronzed chroma and back again. Sophisticated, glossy and tranquil. Perfect fleece. This would make the most dedicated tea-totaler surrender. Immediately offers potential.
Smell: Not marked, yet if you quaff with the dedication of a scholar there is a note of fresh barley hidden there.
Taste: Confirmed. Barley and hay parrying with each other, a lingering (yet very delicate and polite) sweetness on the front. Mineral suggestions. Exceedingly well balanced. Nothing stands forth and heralds you, but the overall mood is one of relaxed agreeability. Behind this shyness lies a sincere and principled session-beer.
** I gratefully treat myself to another.
Mouthfeel: A medium-body which goes down effortlessly, softens the throat. Beyond just the mouth my whole upper GI-tract acquiesces. Wow.
Overall: I can now reverently understand why the kölsch waiters in Cologne will keep refilling you unprompted, and this beer seems to be a distinguished example of such commitment to unassuming quality.

The tail-end of Sydney's summer is wagging, so after a hot walk home this seemed like a sensible option. I've had it on tap here, there, and everywhere around the place but have never reviewed it, and I'm not sure I've ever had it from the bottle before either. This is a 330ml bottle purchased from Dan Murphy's in Alexandria.
Looks good, like it should: perfectly clear pale golden colour, with a firm, slightly frothy but fine head of pure white. Minimal streaking lace, fine carbonation which is actually rather languid in the glass. Body looks pleasantly light, except for those bubbles which seem swamped in a much thicker, heavier beer. I started with "looks good", and I've seen nothing to change my mind.
Nose is fine. Crisp, light grainy malt characters, with a light cereal greenness. Hops are muted, but noticeable: they're enough to provide a little balance at least. Some faint floral overtones, and a suggestion of metal. It's crisp, light and calm. Perfectly acceptable.
Taste is also perfectly acceptable: clean light malt jangles with faint grain characters, crisp firm hop tones provide a direct but tamed vector down the centre of the palate. Crisp finish with some husky flavours rounding it out: it's pleasant. Feel is really quite smooth throughout, carbonation is reigned in nicely but provides a subtle lift to the flavours, and aids the crispness on the finish.
In terms of clean, drinkable beers, it's pretty hard to fault this. Some might pejoratively say this is a "lager-drinkers ale" (perhaps spitting on the ground as they do), but I like to think that it's an ale aspiring to the true greatness that only a lager can provide. It's a good alternative in any case, and I'm happy this is getting a wider distribution.

Bottle shared by Jason, 12oz bottle into a tulip.
Filtered golden orange, with a white head. Leaves a ring of retention and light lacing. Nose is fruity, some sweet grape notes, oranges, sweet breadiness and grains. Taste has more grainy bread character, mild fruitiness and some sweet malt in the finish. Mild bitterness. Medium body, medium carbonation. A nice fruitier lager.

Obama Criticized for Lack of Diversity in Cabinet Appointments
Some Democratic supporters of Obama worry that the president's inner circle could become a boys' club.
President Obama is causing a buzz in Washington because of a lack of diversity in his most recent major appointments.
Obama has named three white men to top posts for his second term: former Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska as secretary of Defense, national security specialist John Brennan as director of Central Intelligence, and Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts as secretary of State.

Hagel and Brennan would replace white men, but Kerry would succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton, one of the most influential and popular women ever to serve in government. And White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew appears to be in line to become Treasury secretary.
"It's evident that he's going to have a less diverse cabinet this term, possibly even less diverse than the George W. Bush cabinet," New York University political scientist Paul Light told The Washington Post. Some Democratic supporters of Obama privately express concern that Obama's inner circle could become something of a boys' club, a criticism that has been rising in the news media, such as The Washington Post and USA Today.

But White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, another white male, told reporters, "The president does believe that diversity is very important, and he also believes that picking the absolute right person for each job is very important."
Carney pointed out that several women do serve in senior positions, including Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice. He might have added that no one in government has more influence with the president than Valerie Jarrett, a senior White House adviser and a longtime confidante of Obama from Chicago.
Just as important, Obama will have other appointments to make in the coming weeks, and some could be women.

A New York Times analysis finds that about 43 percent of Obama' overall appointees, not just cabinet officers, have been women, about the same proportion as in Bill Clinton's administration but an increase from about one third appointed by Bush. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/09/us/politics/under-obama-a-skew-toward-male-appointees.html
