It's Foodie Tuesday!
What do you think of when you hear the word "pumpkin"? For me, it's either "pie" or "jack-o-lantern."

But many would answer "Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte." The autumnal beverage has rabid fans, as evidenced by the public reaction when the company recently ran short of the spicy-sweet syrup needed to make their signature drink.
Image: Mashable Business
I have to admit, I have never had one; it just doesn't appeal to me. Neither do the dozens of other "pumpkin spice" products that crop up this time of year, everything from Pop-Tarts to Hershey Kisses. In fact, there is a bit of a backlash happening against this fake-flavour fervour. A recent Guardian UK article urged Britons to resist "the US pumpkin invasion."
While I agree that artificial pumpkin should be avoided (as should most artificial flavours), I disagree with the author when she denounces pumpkins themselves as "tasteless and watery." When prepared properly, this type of squash can be quite yummy.

Pumpkin has been delegated to dessert in America but, like other types of squash, it also suits savoury dishes. It pairs beautifully with pork or chicken but is hearty enough on its own to make a satisfying vegetarian soup or stew. The mild flesh can be bland, so feel free to play with spices like ginger, curry, and chili.

As much as I love a good spaghetti Bolognese, my favourite fall pasta is pumpkin ravioli with a sage and brown butter sauce; it manages to be rich and decadent while still light and delicate.
Pumpkin Ravioli; Image: Culinary Masterclass
The biggest problem with fresh pumpkin, besides trying to find it beyond the few weeks around Halloween, is the messy preparation. For many, scooping out the "guts" is enough to turn them off this vegetable for life. If this doesn't gross you out, The Pioneer Woman has a wonderful tutorial on making pumpkin puree.
Image: The Pioneer Woman
Thankfully, for squeamish people like me, there is canned pumpkin. Low in calories and fat, this high-fiber puree makes an excellent substitute for butter or oil in baking recipes, so go nuts with pumpkin breads, scones, and brownies all year long! Just make sure to buy canned pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling, which has sweeteners and spices added.
Pumpkin Pull-Apart Bread; Image: love.life.eat
As for pumpkin pie, I have to admit that I'm not really a fan of it either. I find the texture to be a bad mixture of grainy and mushy. The solution? Add something creamy.
Double Layer Pumpkin Cheesecake; Image: Ask Chefs
I think a pumpkin cheesecake might grace my Thanksgiving table this year, or maybe pecan pie with pumpkin frozen yogurt.

The 14th Sheriff of Pinellas County since 1912, when the county was created through a special referendum.
Sheriff Bob Gualtieri was appointed Pinellas County Sheriff by the Governor in November 2011 and elected to his first full term as Pinellas County Sheriff in November of 2012. He began his career with the Sheriff's Office over 30 years ago and has served in three major bureaus; Patrol Operations, Investigative Operations and Detention and Corrections.
Sheriff Gualtieri began his career in law enforcement and public service when he joined the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office in 1982 as a Deputy Sheriff in the Detention and Corrections Bureau. He became certified as a law enforcement officer and joined the Dunedin Police Department in 1983, then rejoined the Sheriff's Office as a patrol deputy in 1984. Later, as a detective assigned to narcotics investigations, Detective Gualtieri conducted international and domestic drug and money laundering investigations, and became an expert in electronic surveillance.
Sheriff Gualtieri earned his Bachelor's degree at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, and in 1998, he left the Sheriff's Office to pursue a law degree. In 2002, Sheriff Gualtieri graduated cum laude from the Stetson University College of Law, and shortly afterwards, he joined the Tampa law firm of Ford & Harrison, LLP in private practice.
He returned to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office in 2006 as General Counsel, and was appointed Chief Deputy, second in command, by Sheriff Jim Coats in January 2008.
Gualtieri performed the duties of Chief Deputy and General Counsel until he was appointed Sheriff by the Governor upon the retirement of Sheriff Jim Coats in November 2011.
Sheriff Gualtieri enjoys many community affiliations, including serving on the Board of Directors for the Pinellas Education Foundation, Pinellas Homeless Leadership Board, Sheriff's Police Athletic League (PAL) and the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Suncoast. Sheriff Gualtieri is also a member of the Gold Shield Foundation.
Sheriff Gualtieri is a member of the American Bar Association, the Federal Bar Association and the Bar Associations of St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Hillsborough County. He also holds Bar Admissions to the Florida Supreme Court, all Florida Courts and the U.S. District Court for the Northern, Middle and Southern Districts of Florida, as well as the U.S. Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
He is a member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the Police Executive Research Forum, the National Sheriff's Association, the Major County Sheriff's Association and the Florida Sheriffs Association.
Sheriff Gualtieri is originally from Syracuse, New York and a Pinellas County resident for over 30 years. He is married with three daughters.

Hehehehehehehe. Thanks Paricia.
I also like Dr. Kellie's description of one method for dealing with evangelists, in "what boobs are good for".
What an interesting turn of events in Mt. Vernon , Texas ...Diamond D's brothel began construction on an expansion of their building to increase their ever-growing business. In response, the local Baptist Church started a campaign to block the business from expanding -- with morning, afternoon, and evening prayer sessions at their church.
Work on Diamond D's progressed right up until the week before the grand re-opening when lightning struck the whorehouse and burned it to the ground!
After the cat-house was burned to the ground by the lightning strike, the church folks were rather smug in their outlook, bragging about "the power of prayer." But late last week 'Big Jugs' Jill Diamond, the owner/madam, sued the church, the preacher and the entire congregation on the grounds that the church ... "was ultimately responsible for the demise of her building and her business -- either through direct or indirect divine actions or means."
In its reply to the court, the church vehemently and voraciously denied any and all responsibility or any connection to the building's demise.
The crusty old judge read through the plaintiff's complaint and the defendant's reply, and at the opening hearing he commented, "I don't know how the hell I'm going to decide this case, but it appears from the paperwork, that we now have a whorehouse owner who staunchly believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that thinks it's all bullshit."
I like those Ruth. I can relate to those pesky JWs flying in.
Loved the Betty Bower comic, Patricia.
Good video. I don't see any humor in it, but it's still good.

Yuma,AZ- Yuma School District One recently voted to have solar panels installed at Castle Dome Middle School and the project should be in operation by the new year.
In a meeting Tuesday evening board members will have the opportunity to vote yes to have solar panels installed in two more of the district's schools.
"There's and ecological benefit, and educational benefit in addition to financial incentives," said Kerry Jones, the Chief Financial Officer for Yuma School District 1.
Jones says this will save the school district hundreds of thousands of dollars over the next 20-years.
"The district actually has no investment what so ever. Zero of our dollars were invested in this project. All we have to do is purchase electricity from APS at a fixed rate which is appealing," said Jones.
Jones says this is all a part of the APS solar for schools government program and the solar panels are mostly funded by the federal government.
The Yuma Union High School District governing board will also consider a solar city contract as well as an agreement with APS on Wednesday evening.
"You can have three projects a year through APS and our plan is to continue adding solar to more schools in future years," said Jones.

According to project director Susan Dell'Osso, DeNova Homes, Brookfield Residential and Van Daele Homes are all working to complete four model homes in the first phase of the nearly 5,000-acre planned development that abuts the San Joaquin River Delta and the cities of Tracy and Manteca.
"We really targeted these specific builders," she said. "We wanted local companies that are privately owned so we can deal with the owners directly. We wanted choices for buyers."
All the initial homes will be single-family houses, with apartments and townhouses coming later, she said.
As the project on the western edge of Lathrop grows, interest in living there is also growing. Dell'Osso said the waiting list is 500 people long.
"Phase one is 4,300 homes, so this is the first part of phase one," she said. "The first people will probably move in in August."
DeNova, which also has projects in Patterson, purchased 105 lots to build one- and two-story houses ranging from 1,800 to 2,400 square feet. Brookfield, which has offices in Sacramento, purchased 120 lots for houses 2,100 to 2,800 square feet, and San Ramon-based Van Daele purchased 68 lots for the largest homes, 3,000 to 3,600 square feet, she said.
The first models, Edgewater at River Islands, built by DeNova, are scheduled to open at 10 a.m. Saturday. Van Daele plans to open its Waterpointe at River Islands models in early June, and Brookfield's Windrift models will open in mid-July.
"I think the location is fantastic," said Linda Hebert, DeNova Homes sales and marketing director. "It's really exciting to be part of the start of a brand-new community — one of the things we've been drawn to."
She said that as one of the first builders, DeNova was lucky enough to build along one of the community's lakes. The homes feature open concepts, she explained, with the idea of bringing outdoor living inside.
"I think it's the right time (to build in River Islands)," Hebert said. "Our residents will have something very special."
Brookfield President John Ryan said that his company had been watching the progression of the River Islands development for more than 20 years.
"It's going to be a great master-planned community when it's built out," he said. "They have a great school built there right in the middle of the project and great highway access. I think the homes will be affordable — a great commuter market."
Banta Elementary School District, the school district for River Islands, completed its first school campus in the community last year. It is currently occupied by a charter school, River Islands Technology Academy, but district leaders are planning to welcome River Islands children into Banta's new science academy, which will share initially space with the charter, beginning in August.
"We're excited about it," Superintendent Albert Garibaldi said. "To get some growth in Banta is a big deal to us."
According to the River Islands website, the community will eventually encompass 11,000 homes in neighborhoods with individual character and diverse styles, incorporating architecture that "feels right at home in a river environment."
The first neighborhood is South River Bend, which will include a community boathouse with access to docks for boating and fishing and boats for rent. A neighborhood park will have bocce, basketball and sand volleyball courts and soccer fields, with walking and biking trails nearby.
The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office and the Lathrop-Manteca Fire District will each serve the planned development. Both also provide services within the city of Lathrop.
Fire Chief Gene Neely said his department has already gone over a financial analysis with the project developer and is planning to build two or three fire stations in River Islands, which will house engines and a ladder truck.
"We are in the process of designing the (fire) station," he said. "The first station will be the largest station with administration and a fire station all in one."
Neely anticipates that it will be two to five years before the fire station is built.

By Patch editor Michael Woyton
Are you coughing and sneezing? If not, you probably know someone who is?
Well, it's probably not the flu, unless the symptoms also include severe body aches, headache and fever usually over 102 in adults.
Dr. Richard R. Pisano, who practices internal medicine in New Rochelle, said he is seeing lots of people coming to his office with an upper respiratory infection that has likely been made worse by the fluctuating temperatures.
"The symptoms of cough, congestion and low-grade fever are not necessarily influenza," he said.
"Even if you got the flu shot, you can get these symptoms from other viruses and other bacteria that can cause the same syndrome," Pisano said.
"If you already received a flu shot, that's great," he said. "It means that you are more or less protected from the flu. This (upper respiratory infection) is some other infection not related to the flu."
What is going around, he said, can be made worse if there are underlying problems, such as asthma, and the cold weather doesn't help at all.
"People are more susceptible to these type of infections during this time of year," Pisano said, "especially with the rapid, dramatic changes in temperatures" that recently saw 2 degrees one day for a high and 55 the next.
People with the upper respiratory infection should see a physician, he said. One of his patients left the office armed with prescriptions for antibiotics to quell any infection, an expectorant to help clear the lungs and a rescue inhaler because the patient's asthma was being affected by the illness.
The Centers for Disease Control are reporting that flu activity continues to be high throughout the country, with 35 states reporting widespread flu activity and 20 states reporting high levels of influenza-like illness.
There is still time to get vaccinated for influenza, Pisano said.
"However, you shouldn't get a flu shot while you are sick," he said. "You should resolve your symptoms and then get the flu shot three to five days after you are better."

I love this recipe! The eggplant just melts in this dish, and the flavors are so fresh and light! The fresh mozzarella makes this into something special. I found this recipe looking to include more eggplant in main dishes, and have made it several times. My husband is Italian and he loves it! Yum.

Perfectly al dente pasta, and wonderful fresh flavors of eggplant and tomato. In the summer, I'd skip simmering the tomatoes first and just add chopped fresh to the pasta when you stir in the mozzarella.

A diet low in iron can lead to anemia, a condition that can make your child pale, irritable and lacking in energy. Anemia is often seen in toddlers who drink too much milk (more than 3 glasses a day) which can make them less interested in iron-rich foods such as red meat, beans and peas, and fortified breads.

ROCKINGHAM COUNTY -- A Timberville woman won the $2-million prize in the Virginia Powerball this week.
Belinda Turman picked up her check Thursday at the Timberville Food Lion.
Turman said she decided to check her ticket while shopping last Friday. She found out that she had matched the first five numbers in the Powerball drawing. The extra dollar she spent for Power Play, increased her winnings to $2 million.
She and members of her family were completely surprised when they found out.
"I said, 'You better get out of here,' so we left there screaming all the way to Harrisonburg, got to the lottery office five to 10 minutes before they closed, and I was still screaming. I asked her three times, 'Are you sure?' She said, 'You're a big winner.' I said, 'What do you mean I'm a big winner?' She said, 'You won $2 million.' I said, 'Nuh uh. Are you serious?'
Turman said the first thing she planned to do was take her family on vacation to Disney World. After that, she planned to help pay some of their bills and purchase a new home for herself.

UMass revealed the results of a new poll a day before the two-month anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing.
UMass pollsters surveyed 500 registered Massachusetts voters and what they found was most people aren't scared of another attack. But a majority said they would support increasing surveillance.
"I think about it a lot," said Dede Cummings of Brattleboro.
For many, including Cummings, who's originally from Boston, the images of the attack will never go away.
"My friends were in Boston. I had friends running. I had a girlfriend of mine who ran my first half marathon who was up in the bleachers," she said.
After that attack that left hundreds injured and four dead, a UMass poll shows people on average are not afraid of another attack in their area.
People in Boston that were surveyed did express a higher rate of concern than other Massachusetts residents about terror attacks - 61 percent of Bostonians stated they were "very" or "somewhat" concerned, compared to 53 percent of people polled outside of Boston.
People in Western Mass, though, tell CBS 3 it shouldn't matter where you live.
"We are a democratic society, a free, open society. We must be encouraged and really must become well-aware of terrorism," said Haratch Kayzakian of Holyoke.
But in the aftermath of the marathon bombings, 2/3 of those polled say they want to see more surveillance and 69 percent say they want to see heightened police presence at large gatherings.
Western Mass residents say these attacks should not keep us in fear but should certainly never be forgotten.
"We must be very vigilant of safeguarding our free society and our way of life," Kayzakian said.
"We need to be more vigilant of our surroundings and public places, believe me, and going to run again. We're not going to let acts of terrorism stop us. None of us feel that way. We're not going to live in fear," Cummings said.
Those surveyed also weighed in on what they think the punishment should be for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev if he is convicted of the attacks. Fifty-nine percent say they would support the death penalty.

Why Integrate Technology into the Curriculum?: The Reasons Are Many
Many people believe that technology-enabled project learning is the ne plus ultra of classroom instruction. Learning through projects while equipped with technology tools allows students to be intellectually challenged while providing them with a realistic snapshot of what the modern office looks like. Through projects, students acquire and refine their analysis and problem-solving skills as they work individually and in teams to find, process, and synthesize information they've found online.
The myriad resources of the online world also provide each classroom with more interesting, diverse, and current learning materials. The Web connects students to experts in the real world and provides numerous opportunities for expressing understanding through images, sound, and text.
New tech tools for visualizing and modeling, especially in the sciences, offer students ways to experiment and observe phenomenon and to view results in graphic ways that aid in understanding. And, as an added benefit, with technology tools and a project-learning approach, students are more likely to stay engaged and on task, reducing behavioral problems in the classroom.
Technology also changes the way teachers teach, offering educators effective ways to reach different types of learners and assess student understanding through multiple means. It also enhances the relationship between teacher and student. When technology is effectively integrated into subject areas, teachers grow into roles of adviser, content expert, and coach. Technology helps make teaching and learning more meaningful and fun. Return to our Technology Integration page to learn more.

Couldn't agree more with many aspects of this article and especially Melissa's reply about how tech should be an integral competent of the classroom.
In saying this, we need to remember the many variables that come with tech integration which restrict and/or inhibit tech integration from occurring!
Being an international teacher in Africa for the last 6 years I have observed many restricting factors, from management decisions, resourcing, obtaining computers, to International sanctions. For me, problem solving and leaning on my PLN have been vital in helping me overcome such obstacles to find work arounds and inspire me to push harder.
Like our students, we too vary in competence and confidence when using technology. This is where the SAMR model has proven to be a very useful resource as it provides us with a supportive framework for integration which reflect where we are currently at.
I sometimes feel like a kid in a candy store when it comes to technology in my classroom. I have a sugar craving and I want it ALL! I concur with all that the article said about integrating technology - I don't believe there is an issue about whether it is important or not. This current "information generation" is all about devices, gadgets and gizmos and as teachers we are well aware that they learn better in this environment. My problem comes with WHAT to choose. It is not like there is one app or program that is best to teach reading comprehension, there are hundreds, literally! I need to figure out balance in this sugar clad, tech savy generation!
I totally agree with the comments made in the article. Technology should become an integral part of a class and not simply and add-on that is barely touched on. Misty made a great point that there is so much out there for us to choose from. I use basic technology right now that most IB math teachers likely use such as the graphing calculator that helps students calculate so much more than when I was in school. I know I need to have more faith that I can hand over some of my teaching, that I am in control of, to technology that students can learn just as much from if not more. I have to realize that by students using the technology and working through the concepts with me as a facilitator or coach, it is usually going to be more productive than simply listening to me.
The first thing I noticed was the published date of this article as well.
From the experience of my school, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to have someone who knows what he or she is doing to lead tech integration. Schools often make the mistake of just buying devices, the new trend and cool thing to do, without any direction or guidance to move the teachers and students forward. It's like the U.S. giving SmartBoards and all sorts of expensive lab equipment to Title I schools without the buy-in of the teachers or the trainers to let them get excited over them. I'm fortunate enough to have grown in an amazing school that saw it valuable to hire an incredible eLearning director who knows how to teach, inspire, and use the technology that the school decided to invest in. Teacher buy-in through inspiration is key, and it's sad to see many so schools missing that key component.
You would think that Melissa http://www.edutopia.org/technology-integration-introduction#comment-150461 was right when she said that "there should be little debate on if or why" we should integrate ET, but I have been amazed, no depressed, by the resistance to and lacklustre approach to Education technology in the UK education system. I have been out of the National Curriculum for 5 years in international schools where they are a little more inclined to be leaders in the technology. On my return I realise that in those 5 years things have not moved. Whist the world has got "SMART" technology the UK has dumbed down. Here we have not yet managed to disentangle the concept of ICT (teaching computing) from ET (improving education with technology). Gove promised a "Serious intelligent conversation about this in 2012 but all we got was "Better learning through technology" http://repository.alt.ac.uk/2219/

I hope that things here change (I am chipping away in my little corner)
I have to say the date of posting jumped out at me, and we could think that the wheels of educational change are slow - but look who and what we are dealing with. Like any change it has to come from within - and the people on the inside are the teachers and students. Let's face it the students have the hardware in their hands so maybe we make their technology work for us as best we can and work the apps. as much as possible.
The future of technology in education can be revolutionary and endless. Because technology is rapidly changing and affects student's lives in and out of the classroom, it is important that the integration of technology be carefully implemented at a reasonable pace.
I cannot express how many teachers have agree with your "cart before the horse" theory when it comes to technology integration in school systems. First off, I have to admit I am glad that there are schools out there investing in technology. The alternative is the lack of technology and in the 21st Century, no technology means being left behind. On the other hand, what good is a device if no one really knows how to use it. There seems to be so much talk about how and what we can do with technology instead of hands on demonstration of how to use technology.
Another factor rests in what schools are willing to invest in after the technology is purchased. If school systems rely on free apps and free webs, they will get exactly what they pay for...nothing. So many apps and sites that are free are limited or offer a simple fast of what could be possible of funds were involved; but, schools that have already invested big bucks in the technology often do not want to or do not have the money to invest more in loading them with useful research-based practice successful tools. Of course some of the free "stuff" works, but the limitations sometime cause more work than necessary. Teachers may be quick to give up and go back to pencil and paper if they are not offered user-friendly applications along with proper training so that they can feel like successful facilitators in the classroom.
The argument might be that since the students are supposedly advanced in these skills, they can help the teacher figure it all out. I spend more time trying to help students do simple tasks on iPads than one might possibly imagine. If I were having them play a game, they would be experts in minutes. If the students love games, we need to have access to educational games that involve standards, critical thinking, and are user friendly for teachers.
Seems as though by the time the adults figure it all out, the technology we are working toward becomes as new and exciting as the shoe box size cell phone. We need to stay ahead of our children. We need help getting there to be successful! We do need an incredible eLearning director to help us in this rapid paced journey!
The part of this article that stood out to me was:
Effective tech integration must happen across the curriculum in ways that research shows deepen and enhance the learning process.
I think that so often we use technology as a substitute for what students could do using paper and pencil. Such as a typing up a story or research paper. Or we use it to run a program to help student who are struggling in math or reading.
While these are ways to use technology in the classroom, these are not the ways that our students are learning outside of school. They are using technology to communicate, to create, and to explore. This is what we need to bring into the classroom. Case in point, my school went to one on one iPads this year. One of my students had the IPad for three days and came to school all excited because she created a podcast of herself doing the "Wacky News" using her vocabulary words.
This is the type of learning that we need to focus on with our students. Allowing them to use technology to enhance their learning and to integrate the technology into the curriculum.
I totally agree with the comments here. Integration of technology is so important these days for education systems. If technology is already in the hands of our kids, it should definitely be integrated into our schooling systems. I found an article that further discusses the need for technology in classrooms and delves into the change of the role of educator in relation to technology. http://cooori.com/weblog/enjp/2014/06/13/when-will-technology-replace-te...

A Cardboard Apartment by Don Lucho
It gives us inexplicable pleasure to see spaces and objects meticulously constructed from unexpected materials — and like the rooms we've seen in the past made from tin foil and paper, this particularly artistic cardboard apartment by Chilean artist Don Lucho has the same irresistible draw.
The detail in Lucho's work — down to the pairs of dirty socks and underwear on the bedroom floor — makes for a playful environment that also manages to look quite beautiful. Lucho has also created crashed cars and airplanes from cardboard which were installed on the streets of Santiago, Chile. View more of Don Lucho's work on his flickr.

I purchased this unit to keep a room cold for storage. It has run for 5 days and just got to 70 degress. Not cold like I expected. The exhaust hose becomes very hot when running, one of the hose clips is broken and the water tank on the bottom leaks. I called and left a message for the warranty people last week and they have not called back yet. We will see if Sportsman Guide will address problems. Otherwise, they are excellent for delivery and low prices.
Works better than expected. Will mainly be used with a generator when hurricanes come and the power goes, or any emergency such as when our whole-house A/C breaks down.
Great! I love it
Excellent product. Cooled our dining room area off quickly. Took the place of two indoor room air conditioners. Easy installation; like the remote. Would recommend product and Sportman's Guide to others.
The unit is not as proficient as a 14,000 btu unit should be.In a 288 sqare foot buildind it has a real problem cooling and never cools down till after midnight. Not as good of a deal as you might think.
Product was as advertised and worked well

The following editorial appeared recently on the Bloomberg View.
A mere 48 months after the law was introduced, only 42 months after it was signed, with just two weeks until one of its main provisions takes effect, Republicans Wednesday finally offered their alternative to the Affordable Care Act. Which would be cause for genuine (if belated) congratulations, except for one thing: It's not really an alternative.
The Republican bill would give individuals tax deductions to buy health insurance, expand tax-free health savings accounts and limit insurance premiums for people with pre-existing conditions. What it wouldn't do is expand coverage to the same number of uninsured Americans - about 25 million, according to the latest estimates - as Obamacare.
That last point may seem like one among many, but it's not. The most important achievement of the Affordable Care Act is that the law attains something like universal health care in the United States, closing an embarrassing and indefensible gap between it and every other developed country.
That means any plan billed as an alternative has to meet one definitional threshold, and only one: covering a similar number of Americans as Obamacare. To go a step further and be a better alternative, a proposal should cover a similar number of Americans at a lower cost or with fewer unwanted consequences. The documents Republicans released Wednesday are conspicuously silent on how many additional Americans would be covered.
Republicans now face at least three choices. They can continue to argue that ensuring universal health care is not a proper role for government, and try to persuade voters to agree with them. Alternatively, Republicans can come up with another way for the government to provide universal health care. Or they can concede that Obamacare is the best way to do so, and move on to other debates.
What's not helpful is to try to fool Americans with semantic games. Republicans like to talk about the importance of making hard choices. The hardest choice of all may be making their position more explicit: that universal health care is not a worthy goal for government. Wednesday's proposal shows they have yet to find the courage of their convictions.

How to Configure Apache Web Server on Linux
Filed under: HowTo, linux, web development
I've shown previously how to install a LAMP server in Ubuntu. If the purpose of your LAMP installation was to set up your own web development environment, then you may want to do some further configuration to your system. This Apache howto is not intended to cover Apache configuration in depth. This is just some basic configuration to help you set up a web development environment in Linux. For more information, see the official Apache documentation.
Why Change the Apache Configuration?
By default, Apache is set up for your web site's files to be in the /var/www directory. This is fine if you only want to work on one website and access it through http://localhost/. But what if you want to work on several websites at the same time? Well, one solution is to create different directories under /var/www like /var/www/site1 and then access it through http://localhost/site1/. I prefer a more elegant solution.
I prefer to build websites in a directory under my own ID. I can then configure the Apache http server to point to the site directories with URLs like http://site1/, http://site2/, etc.
Creating a Web Development Directory
Lets start off by creating a folder structure for the development environment. You can do this from your file manager. I prefer the terminal.
mkdir webdev
cd webdev
mkdir site1 site2
We now have a directory called webdev under our home directory. Within the webdev directory are two directories called site1 and site2.
Create Some Test Files
Now we're going to create some basic test files so that we know our Apache configuration worked. Again, I'm going to use the terminal to create these files, but feel free to use your favorite text editor.
echo 'Site1 works!' > index.html
cd ../site2
echo 'Site2 works!' > index.html
Enable the Sites in Apache
OK, we're now ready to do the actual Apache configuration. Go to /etc/apache2/sites-available.
As root, copy the default file as site1.
Repeat the process to create a site2 file.
As root, edit the site1 configuration file.
Edit the file to look like this (the changes are in bold).
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName site1 DocumentRoot /home/yourID/webdev/site1/ <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /home/yourID/webdev/site1/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg. LogLevel warn CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/" <Directory "/usr/share/doc/"> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128 </Directory> </VirtualHost>
Note: The line that changes AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All is required if you want to enable URL re-writes through a .htaccess file. You need this if you want to utilize pretty permalinks in WordPress.
You now need to enable your new site.
You should get a message telling you that you need to reload Apache to activate the new configuration. But first you need to edit your /etc/hosts file.
Edit the first line adding site1 to the end of the line so it looks something like this and save the file.
127.0.0.1 localhost site1
You can now reload Apache.
Site1 is now enabled. Check it by browsing to http://site1/. If everything worked right, you should see a web page that says "Site1 works!"
Repeat the procedure to enable site2, etc.
Edit 12-Dec-09
If you get an error like "apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for localhost," you can fix it with this command.
echo "ServerName localhost" | sudo tee /etc/apache2/conf.d/fqdn
Then, reload Apache to eliminate the error.
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
208 Responses to "How to Configure Apache Web Server on Linux"
thank for this post.
very good.
I have followed this tutorial to a Tee but everytime I enter either site1 or site2 it just loads the default apache page and NOT my Site1 works! index page? Can anyone help me, I'm using ubuntu 12.10 with all the latest updates and upgrades, It is a fresh install and have ONLY installed the lamp stack following the tutorial at the top of the page. please help
Sorry the line that says this is the only line that needs to changed in the apache2.conf file is
I just clean installed ubuntu 14.04 and got the 404 errors, I had used this on 12.04 for about 2yrs.
My solution is as follows dont know if it is correct but works fine.
First change apache2.conf
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
# Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
# AllowOverride None
# Require all granted
Follow Linerds instructions until sudo cp default site1 at this point make it
sudo cp 000-default.conf site1.conf
Next sudo nano site1.conf
under ServerAdmin add
ServerName site1
then change
DoucumentRoot /home/yourid/webdev/site1
save changes
sudo a2ensite site1.conf
then finish out like Linerd says.
Linerd thank you for the original tutoral. Like I said this works, if it works after update without having to make the change again I don't know time will tell.
is the missing line above. Sorry
Thanks a whole lot for this tutorial. I just did a fresh install of ubuntu and this is the first tweaking I've done on it. Worked like a charm! I stumbled around a little at first and couldn't get it to work right, because I wasn't understanding the steps correctly. After a few tries I finally got 'er done.
How could this be modified to include access to /home/me/webdev/site1 over a home network? That is, I'd like not just http://site1 to work but work across my home network, i.e., http://192.168.0.x/site1 ?
Got it to work with this tip I got off StackOverflow:
ServerName site1
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /home/memyselfI/webdev/site1
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
. . .
Don't know how much of this is truly good karma vesus kludge. . . .
Thanks, I got it to work too, on Linux Mint 16. The config file(s) in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ must end with the .conf extension, e.g. site1.conf. And here is what the contents of the file look like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to

Your sites-available config file is out of date for Apache 2.4.6 and my hacking around hasn't relieved a very difficult "403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server" I'm having. Any ideas?
Hello! I also have a file access problem: site1 and site2 are in a /home/myid/webdev. Folders and sub-folders of site1 and site2 are not writable through php. I have chmod'ed folder 'webdev' recursively to 755, so what could be blocking there?
Solved! Apparently, some PHP needed to be executed by user www-data, so i chown'ed the respective folder accordingly (adding myId to the www-data group was not good enough).
Thanks for the tutorial. I always have a file permission problem after setup and get the message: 403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server - when trying to access the newly setup websites.
I solve this by using the file manager to change permissions of the files and folders. So for a website that is on the hard-drive at:
I have to enable read only access for the files in the site1 folder for both group and others.
Then for each sub-folder in the line I change folder access permission to Access files for both group and others ( so I do this for site1, websites, )
My questions are - is there a better way to do this? Or did I miss something, because I do not see any other comments about file access problems? Is it possible to do this by adding yourself to a group so that everyone does not get access to the web development folders?
Sorry some things did not print properly in my comments above because I used angle brackets.
/home//websites/site1/ should be /home/user name/websites/site1/
and then
( so I do this for site1, websites, ) should be ( so I do this for site1, websites, user name)
Wehre are the apache error logs located, and which file to bee seen for errors? Thanks.

[...] this to enabling sites in apache2. If you want you can also change port number for security [...]
I'm not working locally, I have a server at an ip address and the partition for the site and files is on a separate disk than where the var/www directory is. Both virtual on the same server, but following the steps above, I get the "Index of/" page.
I'm using Drupal and put 126.96.36.199/drupal but to no avail. (that's not the real IP of course, but the example)
Is there anything else to reload/restart when doing this?
nevermind. I just copied and changed the default file so that the ip goes straight to the folder. Thanks.

Click here to support Classes to save a dream by Michelle Williams -
I have always worked very hard. At some points in my life even 3 jobs at a time. I have worked in the hair industry for 17 years. I also bartended on the side many of those years and did other various odd jobs. Unfortunately, that is no longer an option for me. I was born with severe bilateral cl…
With wedding season upon us I thought it was long overdue for me to write this blog. Over the years, I have learned a lot about how to make the big day run as stress free as possible. The devil is in the details they say. PLAN!
The first thing after finding your stylist is absolutely book a trial. It is likely you are going to wear your hair different than you normally do. You should get used to seeing it on you. Also you may not like how that side bun or princess hair looks on you. Take pictures of examples of different thing you like. This way if something isn't how you expected it to look on you you'd have options.
Reasonable expectations are also important. If you have frizzy curly hair a style that is slick and shiny may not be possible unless you get a keratin treatment or other straightening smoothing treatments. We can only work with what we have and can't create a miracle. Also if you have very fine hair and choose a style that is giant hair pieces or other foundation accessories may be required. These may require small additions to your cost.
Now that you have your stylist and are ready to book your day lets get to scheduling. Timing is very important to remember so things run smoothly. As far as the stylist is concerned time is money. And if we have to wait around for a hung over brides maid or if someone shows up for an updo with wet or hair too dirty it can be stressful as far a timing. I know some stylist prefer dirty hair, I personally don't. Make sure you know your stylists preferences. Since I do a lot of vintage styling, I find that dirty hair does not lend itself to those styles.
Make sure you have an itinerary and try to stick to it. Endless things can go wrong on your wedding day. That is completely understandable. But for the bride to be running around and delegating and putting out fires is unfortunate. Delegate a helper. You shouldn't have to stop in the middle of your hair or make-up because you need to grab the bridesmaids jewelry from a grooms men's bag in another room down the hall. You should enjoy this day and relax. Let someone else man the details. Chances are you will be surrounded by loved ones more than willing to help.
Lastly, I unfortunately have to ad this last little tid bit. The quote. If a hair or makeup person traveled to you and may have an assistant in tow and they quoted you for 5+ people at X amount of $, then a bridesmaid opted out the last minute the quote doesn't change. We base our quotes off the job as a whole and plan on that amount. We factored in needing an assistant or not as we have to pay them what they were promised too. Also there will be additions in the price if Auntie Sue decides she wants a blow dry. Also it is factored in per job that what we consider in our quote is the amount of people. It's not a flat rate per person and we make adjustments for lower amounts per person for larger parties.
A final note. From a personal stand point I LOVE doing weddings! Unfortunately I don't always get to see the final result with make-up, jewelry and dress. Send your stylists photos after! We love it! At this point we've chatted with you at length are are taking the journey to your wedding day with you. We really do care! We usually only get pics of you still in your sweats. And who knows, your gorgeous wedding photos may be featured on your stylist blog! ;)
So you haven't had a hair cut in a year and only want to cut 1/2 an inch? Then your hair cut is kind of pointless. Let's face facts. Your ends are probably damaged several inches. Cutting just a tiny bit barely solves the problem.. And your hair will only feel better for a short time. You will only be getting some of the damaged ends fixed.
Also something to consider is not everyone's hair CAN grow long. If your individual hair strand is fine or brittle or both then at a certain point that type of hair wont stand up to that long of a life. That hair has been around a long time and is too fragile to live through that wear and tear. Every hair has it's limitations and it varies from person to person.
As stylist we really DO want to make you happy and give you what you want. It's our job to! I often talk on this blog about reasonable expectations also. We can't work magic unfortunately. Certain hair types just weren't meant to be long. And I am sorry about that. But there is only so much we can do.
I am also sorry that some stylists in this industry just do what they want. That's not honorable. If someone comes in with 3" of damage and only wants 1" cut.. I'll do it. But I often show the client the damage line and explain hair cuts more often and you MAY get to that point again with more healthy length. But once at the point with that much damage the split and broken ends keep splitting and creeping up the hair strand. Eventually, much of the hair strand may be ruined. This could cause much more of the length being split thinned or just breaking off.
Once again, this doesn't go for everyone. Some people are blessed with super tough hair that can withstand a lot. But more often then not.. regular haircuts are best for maintaining the health of your hair. It's really not a marketing ploy. I don't even know you reader! ;) Having a license in hair in cosmetology, we are essentially hair doctors. At least that is how I consider it. We aren't just crazy people that have a mad fetish for cutting peoples hair off. (Disclaimer: I can't speak for all hair stylists. Just maybe the ones I have met.)
I know I have mentioned this in other postings. But wanted to take it another step further about bringing your hair stylist pictures for reference. We LOVE it!!!
We all go out into this world and view things differently. We all see things we like but can't all describe in the correct terminology how to create it or necessarily what it looked like. Picture of variations of things are even better. This is especially true when going to a stylist for the first time or completely changing your look. They are jumping off points. A good stylist can look a these and gauge.. Okay this person really likes this or that…
My advice is to really think about what it is about those photos that really stand out for you. Also consider keeping expectations reasonable. Everyone loves to pick out parts of the hair in photos that are inevitably camera flash or lighting. We can't make that. I've worked on many shoots.. Lighting does amazingly fascinating things to how hair looks.
Photos are especially important for consulting for updo's. Styling is so vast and there are ton's of possibilities. Last year I had about a dozen brides bring me that Kim Kardashian side bun picture for their weddings. In the end no two turned out the same. After seeing variations of that in other photos they had we could create something slightly different here and there and make it perfect for each of them. Hair texture and face shape are all factors. So remember we can give you Kim Kardashian like hair, but we can't MAKE you Kim Kardashian.
Lastly, If you do go into a salon and take pictures out and your stylist seems annoyed by you…. run. Get up. And walk out. They aren't going to tackle you and tie you down. You are not belted to the chair. They are egomaniacs and think they are gods gift to hairstyling and know what's best for you. I can't stand stylists like that. In the end, most of us care about your opinion. We want you to be happy. That is our job. To in the end give you what you want. And we can't know what that is without a reference.
Recently, at my place of employ this issue was brought up. Since our schedule is implied and my pay is strictly commission I have found it's not in my best interest to sit waiting for possible business. In the past, I have worked for many salons that state we are independent contractors yet require the staff to be there a certain number of hours and treat them like employees. Since the issue was brought up the owner of the salon and other staff members have researched the problem. Wherein the employer got all this documentation and articles written by other salon owners, the other staff got documentation from The Department of Labor Wage and Hour division. Here's the summary of what it says.
If you are required to be in a business certain hours and perform tasks that you are not compensated for then you are an employee and are required BY LAW to make minimum wage. So if you are required to sit in a salon, answer phones, take coats, clean, do dishes ect and it's not for your personal clients then you are required legally to be compensated for your time. I know this isn't how any salon I have ever worked in has been regulated. Now if your commission is more then what your hours work vs. minimum wage would be then that's justifiable. But with salons requiring most employees to do discounts and deals it's just not balancing out.
I've spoken with many hairstylist in the past few months that agree things are getting out of hand. And if we are treated like employees and are time isn't being compensated as well as our commission being cut more than half to do discounts than that is clearly not only unlawful but discouraging. This means that for every salon you have ever worked at, if they required you to be there certain hours, if your commission did not exceed what you would have been paid for minimum wage then you can sue them for lost wages. This could mean most all salons across the US having to pay Thousands and Thousands of dollars.
The problem with the industry is that we all stand alone. There is no regulations being enforced and it's a free for all. Employers just look around and say "Well, that's how everyone else is doing it!" Never mind the legality of it.
I'm bringing up this point to get some feedback. Is it worth it to give away our time this way with the economy the way it is. Or is it time to stop taking discounts and lessen our pay to make under minimum wage just because "that's the way it's always been done?"
What are your thoughts?
Thank you everyone that participated in my photo shoot night! We all had a really great time and I got a lot of fantastic shots.
I am no longer taking models but thank you all for your continued interest. Because of all the inquiries about the model call I am in the process of developing a photo shoot night for anyone interested in getting hair, make-up and a professional head shot. This will all be at a very reasonable rate! I'll keep you informed as this develops more. Feel free to email me if interested and I'll personally get back to you with details!
In other fun news, I'm planning a few different events in the form of classes. I'll be teaching blow dry classes and a basics in updo class. These will be a hands on classes where I put the tools in your hands and give you the knowledge to give yourself salon perfect hair everyday! So stop watching teenagers burn their hair off on the internet and come take a class from a professional! ;)
Here's a few samples of what we did at the photo shoot. And you can see the entire series on my web site here
Check it out HERE!
Over the last few years the downturn of the economy has gotten many of you desperate for business. Because of our desperation to attract business many of you have turned to giving huge discounts. I understand just wanting butts in our chairs but it has turned to sheer madness out there. So many of these greedy discount agencies have popped up at this point it is ruining our abilities to make a decent living. The salon I currently work at gets several of these sales calls daily. When performing for these agencies you are working for faceless corporations that are just using you and your talent. They know nothing about you or your talent. They know nothing about what it takes to become good in this business. They care not for our ability to maintain the clientele necessary for us to care for ourselves. They do not consider the fact that we are independent contractors that live on commission and do not get benefits, insurance or a retirement plan. Yet they ask us to pad their pockets all the while we stand behind a chair on our feet all day breaking our bodies for a profession we love. They expect us to say thank you for stealing what we've earned in exchange for belittling our professions into below minimum wage careers. This has to STOP!
I have always advocated for my clienteles best interest as well. I understand the need to save a buck but another problem has resulted as a symptom of the discount chasing. Each salon, each stylist is different. Because all of our skill set differs and because each color line differs the quality of this clients hair is then compromised. The clients hair is being ruined. Not everyone has the same level of pride and professionalism when it comes to the discount chasers. I know I have had to fix some disasters as a result. Bouncing around from stylist to stylist, even if the stylists are all talented, can have some adverse effects especially instance of color. Color lines are vastly different from one another!
I know in parts of the country outside of New York City this may not be a problem yet but here in New York, it is driving very talented and hard working stylists out of the business. For the time being, I'm not going anywhere. But I BEG of you, PLEASE put a stop to this. I charge even my friends but give them 20% discount MAX. Good friends will understand that this is how we make a living. So giving a complete stranger 40-60% off is sheer lunacy. Stick up for yourselves. Stop letting these agencies get rich by ruining a skill that so many of us have studied for years. I love my profession. I have a passion for what I do. Please join me in preserving it. Stop servicing YELP, Bloomspot, lifebooker, scout mob, groupon, living social and any other type of faceless company that is using us. Take a stand for the clients as well. In the long run this is hurting all of us.
Please repost this! Lets join together and make a stand. The more people that put their foot down against them the more likely these companies will fall.
Michelle St. Darling
I'm really trying to amp up my portfolio. I don't have a date set but would like some updo models. If you are in New York city and interested in getting a free updo and some nice picture please let me know. I'll set the dates for this project once I get enough responses.
I'm often asked what kind of styling tools i use so in lew of us taking more time to let our hair down here are some of my favs!
The Blowdryer:
Elchim - Although the price tags for these suckers can be a little steep, this blowdryer will last you YEARS. It's a little heavier than the cheapo dryers but once you get used to it you won't even notice. The stronger the dryer the faster the speed of drying. It also gets pretty hot which makes it easier to create shape and movement with your style.
The round brush:
I'm a big fan of natural bristle brushes. I try to stay away from round brushes with the more wire like bristles and metal bases. I know some stylists that love them but I think they just get WAY to hot. They also tend to snag the hair a bit. The kind I have right now are Marilyn brand but if they look similar I'm sure other brands are just fine.
Flat iron:
Amika. Okay maybe I'm a little bias because I do freelance work for this company but I just LOVE these irons! Up to 410 degrees with a dial. 100% ceramic plates for better heat then metal irons. Beveled plates that swivel for more optimal styling and no crease lines from hard corners. AND they come in super cute colors and designs.
Hot Rollers:
I love love love hot rollers! And whereas usually I go for professional brand styling products I am thrilled with my Conair hot rollers! The reason is in the clips. The clips have a compartment where you clip them and they are heated as well. This way the section of your hair will be heated from the inside and out! This means longer lasting curl! And if you don't have enough of the size you want you can send away for more for just a few bucks!
Actual name:
Curling irons:
Hot tools. You can never go wrong with hot tools! They are pretty reasonably priced. They last forever! I've had mine over 10 years. They come in any shape and size you could possible want. And they have a dial to control the temperature.
Happy Styling!

Voyager Knit Diamond-Print Shirt 3 3
got lucky with sale I was lucky enough to get this on sale, and I wore it the day after it arrived. I'm in love with it. my friend - much younger - said it looked like a 70's shirt and I'm okay with that, because I loved the 70's. the dark color is navy - thankfully not black - but this will go with so many things. usually I wear petites, but I took a chance and ordered regular size. the sleeves are a perfect length for me. I plan to use this as a season spanning garment for spring and fall. love it!! January 11, 2014
Very Stylish I bought this shirt to pull together navy slacks and the yellow cord riding jacket I already had. Great outfit and lots of compliments. At first look, I felt the shirt might be too "busy" but that is not the case at all. Very pleasantly surprised! I'm 5'4", mature figure, and the L is the fit that I like most in TS shirts. You will not be disappointed in this purchase! January 31, 2014
Great blouse I should have waited a couple of days for this to go on sale, but I do love it. Goes beautifully with the two outfits that I also purchased at Travelsmith in tan and olive green. Fits beautifully and really perks up my plain outfits. I tend to plain colors, not at all sorry I purchased the blouse. December 23, 2013

Women fucking the same dude and call each other hoes? No…. Y'all are teammates. =D
I'm tired of seeing women write they need a cuddle buddy for the cold weather…. NO BITCH YOU NEED A BLANKET! Shit. Stfu.
In a blink of an eye.
I just realized you've been noticing someone else's inner beauty besides mine. Not that it matters anymore, but doesn't mean the pain hurts any less. Don't worry, be happy. No regrets.
Getting these for sure.

Truth is….
I don't like who I've become, and I'm sorry you see only the bad in me now before the good. No excuses or fingers to point and blame. I have so much anger built up that it gets the best of me. You are the only one who knows what I went through and how painful it was for me to just let it all happen. Just know because of you I'm now taking a stand, even though it should have been done years ago. It's always better late than never. I know you're going through a tough time and I'm not trying to bash you, when all I'm doing is looking out for you. Seeing you as miserable as you were before was hard enough. You having those suicidal thoughts all happened at that school. I'm scared. I'm sorry I can't be much help but just as you went through a lot with me I had to think of your well being everyday and trying to pick your brain to make sure you weren't going to do anything. I don't miss it and I do want the best for you and I want to be positive, but every time I think about that school all I think about is you walking, crying, horrible thoughts, freeway, suicide. IM SORRY. I love you but I'm not the right person to be asking for advice.
Just the way it is.
I'm not the way I am because of you. I don't sit here and try to piss you off or upset you. I will always make mistakes no matter how hard I try, and for that I'm sorry. I'm glad you decided to sit here through all my flaws and mistakes, because if it wasn't for you, I would be like a pen without ink. You really do confirm that miracles do happen everyday. I wanted to write this to show you my appreciation and to also tell you that I will always love you like you've loved me. I love you LaParis.

Fish from the Big Pond!
Here's a couple of nice ones caught in the big pond. Nice job guys!!
On Air Now.
Here's a couple of nice ones caught in the big pond. Nice job guys!!
Here's a hungry little guy looking to score some apples.
Photos taken in Goodman,WI near Lake Hilbert
Here's a few nice Walleye's. Personally my favorite type of fishing.
If you have any great photos of nice fish you caught, deer or bear on your scouting cameras or any other cool outdoor photos we would love to post them on our blog. Email me your photos at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Now this is what I call a bakers dozen.. All caught in Marinette County
This was a nice surprise while trolling for walleyes this spring. Caught this nice 39" Pike still swimming...
Funny video from a turkey hunt in Waupaca... the Tom was looking for some action and ended up mounting a decoy.
As you know my name is Mike Neal and I am a DNR Warden in Northeast Wisconsin and spend most of my time working on Green Bay and Lake Michigan. In addition to the duties of working along the water I also work the "traditional" items that other Field Wardens work across the state. I haven't sent anything in since around the deer season and now that the ice fishing and snowmobiling is underway I thought I would pass on a few items to everyone.
Most people have a "rule of thumb" when it comes to ice thickness. The real answer is that the ice is never truly "safe". While out on Green Bay this past week I observed ice thickness in areas where there was 18" of ice, to a little more than just 3" of ice. Ice on the Bay of Green Bay didn't set up real well this year, especially after the strong winds on New Years day so please be cautious if venturing out onto the ice. Traveling on the ice right now is tough in places due to the amount of shove ice near shore. On a positive note the fishing for Whitefish has continued to be nothing short of amazing. Huge numbers of people were on the ice this weekend despite the cold temperatures which brings up two significant points.
The first one is in regards to the safety of everyone in their ice fishing shanties. Saturday night we responded to two individuals that had suffered from Carbon Monoxide poisoning because of the lack of ventilation in their ice fishing shanty. People need to remember that they need to allow some ventilation when using heaters inside of the ice fishing shanties, and if people start feeling drowsy or getting a headache that can be an early sign of Carbon monoxide poisoning. Get outside the ice shanty and get some fresh air
Second, with the increase in activity some individuals are getting territorial and taking actions to prevent others from fishing on the ice. One individual actually drilled over 40 holes in the ice where people cross an ice seam in an effort to keep people from fishing in the area where he was fishing. Unfortunately we do not regulate ethics, but in this situation where the individual took steps to prevent individuals from fishing and traveling to and from the fishing areas on the ice, the individual was cited under the "Hunter/fisherman harassment law" which states "No person may interfere or attempt to interfere with lawful hunting, fishing or trapping with the intent to prevent the taking of a wild animal by doing any of the following: Harassing a wild animal or by engaging in an activity that tends to harass wild animals, Impeding or obstructing a person who is engaged in lawful hunting, fishing or trapping, Impeding or obstructing a person who is engaged in an activity associated with lawful hunting, fishing or trapping, Disturbing the personal property of a person engaged in lawful hunting, fishing or trapping, and Disturbing a lawfully placed hunting blind." Remember these waters belong to everyone and nobody has an "exclusive right" to a particular portion of the waterways. If there is a problem contact the local Warden or report the incident to the toll free TIP Line at 1-800-TIP-WDNR.
When it comes to snowmobiling people should remember to not drink and drive on any recreational vehicle. Most of our accidents are related to speed and alcohol. If people decide to drink, please drink responsibly and not to excess. Snowmobilers should also remember that there is a 55 mile per hour speed limit at night while operating a snowmobile, regardless if it is on a trail or out on the ice.
Again if anyone has any questions please send them to the Radio Station and they will get sent to me for answering. Enjoy the winter.
So, John Sutherland apparently didn't understand that we wanted deer 'racks' when he sent in this picture... but we don't care.
Thanks John!
Billy Dorow bagged himself an interesting rack in Marathon County... I count 11 points, with 3 of them being little kickers coming off the brow tine. Very cool! Even cooler: he's 10, and this was his first deer! WOW!
Congrats Billy! Nice work!
