History of Railway Development in China
Date: May 1939
Creator: Dawson, Homer W.
Description: This study has not been able to comprehend to any extent the wide range or scope of the entire subject. Rather the limitations imposed by time and requirements of the subject-matter have limited the work more to a detailed analysis of material gathered from various sources and to an orderly presentation of facts and figures regarding railway construction in China. Fundamental causes underlying many present-day conditions have been briefly noted, and it is hoped that a sufficiently broad outline of the work has been laid down to inspire others to work out specif problems along the many different lines indicated.

Booming Burgundy Wine
Expertise and Technology Have Created Burgundy's Greatest Run Of Vintages Ever, And 1997 Promises to Preserve the Streak
Matt Kramer
From the Print Edition:
Michael Douglas, May/Jun 98
It has been an incredible run--and it's not over yet. Never in living memory have we seen such a remarkable string of good Burgundy vintages. "It's really something," exults Becky Wasserman, an American wine shipper who has lived in Burgundy for decades. "The last truly poor vintage we've seen was 1984. After that, it's been a dream." And it continues to be, right up to the latest (and possibly greatest) 1997 vintage.
Can this all be chalked up to good luck or perfect weather? Hardly. In an undertaking as quirky and temperamental as wine making, especially when dealing with the weather fluctuations of a region like Burgundy, a run of this length does not happen by accident. Expertise must be at work, like a talented card player who keeps winning hand after hand whether dealt good cards or bad.
That some years are better than others is not news to anyone out of short pants. The complication--nowhere more so than in Burgundy--is that some years see a really good harvest for Chardonnay (white Burgundy) while that same year may well be a lesser one for Pinot Noir (red Burgundy)--or vice versa.
How can this be? Timing. Burgundy, in eastern France and only 100 miles away from the Alps, is well within the mountain range's fast-changing weather influence. Harvest in Burgundy typically is in mid-September, just when cool weather and fall rains start. It's always a delicately played game to wait until the grapes are ripe enough to harvest, but to pick before the rains beginHow can this be? Timing. Burgundy, in eastern France and only 100 miles away from the Alps, is well within the mountain range's fast-changing weather influence. Harvest in Burgundy typically is in mid-September, just when cool weather and fall rains start. It's always a delicately played game to wait until the grapes are ripe enough to harvest, but to pick before the rains come.
Chardonnay vines bud a little later than Pinot Noir. That means that they typically get harvested later as well. In a place such as Burgundy, where a week can mean the difference between delight and disaster, the race between ripeness and rot is all a matter of beating the rain.
Inevitably, there are complications. Some years, Pinot Noir can have thicker, tougher skin than usual, thanks to a warm, dry summer. Then, the normally thin-skinned Pinot Noir, which cracks or bursts after a few days' rain, making it susceptible to rot or mold, can ride out the wet weather. That's what happened in the great '93 vintage.
Yet the '93 whites didn't fare as well. While picking started for Pinot Noir on September 15, when the weather was clear and sunny but cool, the Chardonnay grapes weren't ripe enough for harvest. It began to rain on the 22nd, when much of the Pinot Noir had already been picked, but the Chardonnay fruit was still not ready because of the cool weather. Many of the '93 white Burgundies emerged thin, underripe and a bit too acidic. Yet growers who, earlier in the season, pruned for very low yields made superb wines. Why? Because low-yield vines have grapes that ripen earlier and better.
Knowing this, you can understand why the Burgundians I talked to this past October at the end of the '97 harvest were ecstatic. It's probably best captured by a simple moment in the courtyard of a grower in the village of Volnay, famed for its perfumey Pinot Noirs.
On October 6, after virtually everything had been harvested, I visited Hubert de Montille, one of Volnay's senior eminences. We were tasting wine and spitting in the graveled courtyard. Suddenly, a few drops of rain fell. De Montille looked up, astonished. "That's the first drop of rain that's fallen in five weeks."
Such a statement speaks volumes. Burgundy almost never sees such dryness at harvest. The last time would have been 1976, a famous drought year. At the time, Burgundy growers--and gullible wine writers--declared '76 a vintage of the century. But the wines, in fact, were overripe. The reds were excessively tannic and tasted as if they were made from raisins, which in a way they were. Imagine overbrewed tea and you've got the picture. The whites were overalcoholic and "flabby" from a lack of acidity--raisins again.

Let's see where to start...first off the room was freezing when we got there. I went to turn it on and it smelled so bad i shut it off as low as possible. The furniture was so stained we did not want to even sit on them. The mini fridge was super noisy. The fan was broke in the bathroom. The toilet did not flush. The shower did not drain properly. There […] was no remote for the television. We could hear every person that walked by in the hallway and every little thing from the guests upstairs. My wife actually woke up at 3:30 in the morning and slept on the floor because the bed was so hard lumpy and old! All in all I would have walked out if I could have got my money back. This Super 8 needs to be shut down! We couldn't get out of there fast enough in the morning. I won't be staying at a super8 anytime soon :( Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Functional place to lay your head"
Took my 5 yo son to a hockey game in Grand Rapids. Hotel was convenient (abt 15 mins to downtown and hockey arena) and that is about where the complements end. Old fast food bag behind the desk, only 2 of the 3 room outlets worked (TV and bathroom only), towels had brown stains on them.

non smoking room had a glass full of cigarette butts in dresser drawer, blanket had burn holes, sheets were filthy. There were no equivalent rooms available, so we were moved to a room that was less than we paid for. The washcloths in the room they moved us to were filthy and the window was broken. The manager was supposed to call us regarding our room […] downgrade and never did. I wouldn't stay at this dump again if it was free. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Terrible, rude and fire hazard"
I checked in and the clerk asked if I wanted to check out the room before I stayed. I will always do this if asked in the future. In the room I hung my shorts from the door handle in the bathroom the handle fell off. I called the front desk clerk because the lights were not working she was rude but moved the whole bed to plug in the lights and alarm […] clock. She also looked at the broken window and basically said yeah so. After she left the alarm clock had to be unplugged because it was sparking. There were broken windows on most if not all the first floor I didn't notice this until the next morning. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

I booked this room when I had to attend a sporting event for my son and wanted to save some money on a room. When I got to the motel, there we people milling around the parking lot and I generally felt unsafe. Fortunately, I came to a satisfactory resolution with Super 8/Wyndham hotels for my trouble.

"run down, depressing place"
In the spirit of saving a few bucks at the end of a wonderful vacation, we made our reservation over the phone, sight unseen. what a mistake! Weeds all around the property and growing through the chain link fence surrounding the parking lot, cigarette butts lying everywhere, side entry door was "repaired" with what looked like a zip tie. front desk […] personnel barely spoke two words to us when we checked in. I think they hated being there, too. Beds were like trampolines, pillows were almost as bad as ones you would get on an airline. Air conditioner was noisy and barely functional. overall, the rooms were out of date and depressing. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"No Consistent Internet!"
We were disapointed that we did not have Internet. When I told the hotel employee the next day about about this she asked if we were offered a room on the seco.d floor. It turned out that the internet was more reliable on the second floor. The continental breakfast left much to be desired. The coffee was not good, and the frozen waffles need I say more!

"Nice location, close to the highway!"
First room there was dirty sheets on the bed With hair on them when I pulled the quilt Back, the 2nd room there was a torn quilt On the bed.Genuine Expedia guest review
my stay here was horrible. 1st off i told the GM that i wanted to book a double room, he then told me no because i was the only one standing at the front desk, i then informed him that there were 2 more people coming, an that's when the GM made a sexually explicit comment to me. After getting my room keys and heading up to my room, i opened the door […] to the strongest smell of urine i have even smelled. i immediately went back down and asked for a room change, and the GM informed me that the smell would go away if i turn on the ac. after arguing with him for about 5 mins, he finally switched my room, upon going to the next room, both beds were sunk in in the middle, there was mold in the bathroom, and on the floor. i went back to the front desk again and explained the situation in this room, he said to me "what do you expect, you are at a motel" i explained to him that work for a hotel and that the comments hes making to me are not acceptable especially coming from the GM / Owner of the motel. so at this point i canceled my reservation, and went back to my room to shower and leave. after getting out of the shower i was surprised to see the same GM standing in my room with the door half closed. (mind you i was in a towel). This is the most horrible experience that i have ever had at a motel.

"Won't return."
The hotel was affordable, but I will not return:1) the floors in my room were sticky, 2) the bathroom had mold around the corners, 3) conspicuous people congregated outside of the hotel all night, 4) I could hear every thing inside the hotel from my room, 5) the toilet would magically run periodically through the night.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Blankets are not that expensive..."
I would only stay here if it was my last resort. It was horrible. Cigarette burns on blankets, carpet, bathroom floor. Even though it says its a non smoking floor... Burn marks from the iron on the carpet. Broken windows on the outside. The paint was peeling off in the bathroom. The only good thing was that it had microwave and a fridge inside the room.

"Hotel grand rapids"
The hotel was ok. The room was fine. The "breakfast" was disappointing as there really wasn't anything but cereal.Genuine Expedia guest review
This was the worst hotel stay that I have ever had! The lobby looked like a storage closet with clutter everywhere. We were not directed to our room. Our room felt like the carpet had a layer of scrum on it, I didn't even want to walk on it without shoes. The bathroom had dirt caked on the grout. We pulled back the blankets to find a cigarette burn […] on the sheet along with stains on the pillow cases. We took the pillow cases of and put our own shirts over the pillows to feel a little more clean. Oh and our room was supposedly a "non-smoking" room...ha I think not! Do not stay at this hotel!!!!

Not the best part of town, across from a Denny's off the freeway. Definitely recommend staying in Grand Rapids if you have a choice. Hotel looked to be pretty old and slightly run down and the breakfast was a joke. There was oj, coffee, raisin bran (didn't see any milk), and two pieces of bread next to a toaster. We left and ate breakfast elsewhere. The […] first room they assigned us was occupied by some unregistered guests, a little concerning. After being reassigned to a new room we had no real issues.

I unfortunatelly walked in on someone in this room. Back to the lobby for a different room, after I and someone else endured horror shock by the double assigned room.

For the price it was a decent hotel. The entrance to the driveway is not clearly marked so coming in at night, it is a little difficult to get in.

The air conditioner in the room was in poor condition. It had no face on the air conditioner and no filter. The first night the room was stuffy. We left the air conditioner on all the next day while we were out and that helped some but the air quality still wasn't good because there was no filter on the air conditioner. This is an aging hotel with older […] beds, furniture and TV. We got the cheapest hotel and it was below expectation. If the air conditioner was in maintained condition, it would have been ok for a night or two. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Embattled Utah Attorney General John Swallow has instituted a new policy whereby he will meet with businesses or individuals only through a formal application process and with the presence of another employee, who will more or less chaperone to ensure that nothing happens in the meeting to compromise the integrity of the office. But there are still some unanswered questions about how the reform will actually work.
Editor's note: This is Part 5 of The Swallow Files, a series of online and print stories examining notes, observations and overlooked elements of the ongoing Swallow scandal as the Legislature begins its lengthy investigation into the attorney general's fitness as a public servant. See parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 out on stands this week looks at the donations Sen. Mike Lee received from Jeremy Johnson as well as special interests connected to Swallow.
Swallow's tenure as attorney general has been rocked by pay-to-play allegations since he took office in January; Swallow has rebuffed calls for his resignation and impeachment. During the state GOP's Central Committee meeting in June, Swallow told his party colleagues he was innocent of the allegations and that he had enacted a new rule to protect the office from allegations of conflicts of interest.
According to a Salt Lake Tribune article on the event, those seeking an audience with Swallow would make an appointment that would be "vetted" by staff. During the meeting, another staff member would sit in so that Swallow wouldn't find himself "in situations that would compromise the integrity of the attorney general or the office."
City Weekly submitted the below follow-up questions to the Attorney General's Office about the policy, but the office would not return comment.
1.Does the policy only apply to campaign-related appointments?
2. What if the person just runs into Swallow at a non-campaign related event and donates at another time?
3. What staff are qualified to act as chaperones for these meetings? Does it have to be an attorney? Could it be campaign staff?
4. When the chaperone is there, if they notice something untoward or inappropriate, do they file a report? What do they do about it?
5. If the chaperone is just an employee of the AG's, doesn't it put them in a difficult position to stop or report something irregular, since by doing so it could be perceived as jeopardizing their employment?
University of Utah political science professor Matthew Burbank says that there are lots of ways that a person could get around a political chaperone program such as this, but on the whole, sees it as a good idea.
"It seems like the sort of thing that particularly an attorney general would want to have a policy in place for, largely because the nature of what an attorney general does, in what is both a political office and also a legislative office," Burbank says. "It's not an absolute guarantee. But, it's better than simply having [Swallow] going into his office, closing the door and having a meeting with nobody knowing what's being said or for what purposes."
Too late!
As Deputy AG or AG, you can't be hanging around with people that have been indited by your own office. You can't be spending time in a posh upscale hotel accepting "gifts" from those same people. You can't be accepting campaign donation from shady business that are under investigation by the DOS or AG's office in your state or better yet, the Feds. You can't be offering legal advice to a scumbag friend that is involved in a civil lawsuit with a person that has been indicted by your office. The list goes on and on with what a Deputy AG or AG just can't ethically or morally do. The problem? He just doesn't seem to know the difference between right or wrong. My attorney told me these words about a year ago. "Utah better hope and pray that Swallow doesn't get the vote for AG. If you think Shurtleff is bad, you haven't seen anything yet. Swallow is worse. " And to top it off, Swallow claims to be a good Mormon? Ya right. The Mormon Religion is doomed if he is one of their finest. He must resign or be removed from office for the sake of restoring integrity to the AG's office and the State of Utah.

Front Page Quotations Other Quotes Week of 20 September, 2010
Quotations about Liberty and Power
About this Quotation:
Before the United States Constitution came into effect it had to be ratified individually by the states which made up the new federation. This was a long drawn out process that continued from 1788 to 1791. A number of the states ratified the new constitution on condition that certain amendments and clarifications be introduced. For example, both New York and Rhode Island wanted to clarify the voluntary and rescindable nature of the agreement to delegate certain powers to the national government, so in one of the early clauses (the 3rd) it is most clearly stated in the New York Ratification document that the powers delegated by the people to the Federal government could be "reassumed" at any any time, that is to say, that the agreement to join the federation could be rescinded at any time if the people thought that their "happiness" was no longer being furthered by such a political union.

This press release is an announcement submitted by www.dribbletostopdiabetes.com, and was not written by Diabetes Health.
The National Basketball Association (NBA), the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) and the NBA Development League, in collaboration with the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and sanofi-aventis U.S., today announced the launch of Dribble to Stop Diabetes, a national multimedia campaign designed to encourage fans to live an active, healthy lifestyle and raise awareness about diabetes prevention, management and the potentially serious health complications that can be associated with the disease.
Dribble to Stop Diabetes will tip off in Los Angeles during NBA All-Star 2011 with assists from campaign ambassadors Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic, Alana Beard of the Washington Mystics and NBA Legends Walt Frazier and Chris Dudley. The ambassadors will appear in a nationally broadcast public service announcement, which will debut on Friday, Feb. 18, during the nationally televised NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on ESPN. In addition, Dribble to Stop Diabetes will host three NBA/WNBA/D-League FIT Clinics at the 2011 NBA All-Star Jam Session presented by adidas.
As part of the campaign, NBA, WNBA and NBA D-League teams will host Dribble to Stop Diabetes in-arena nights featuring on-court activation and PSAs. Teams will also provide fans with diabetes educational materials and Dribble to Stop Diabetes clinics will take place during the 2011 WNBA Finals.
"As a professional basketball player, I know how important it is to take care of your health," saidDwight Howard. "For those at risk of developing diabetes and people living with the condition, living a healthy lifestyle including following a proper diet and exercise is important. Our hope is that Dribble to Stop Diabetes will raise awareness about the disease and provide fans with important information to help themselves and their families."
"As recent statistics from the CDC have shown, nearly 26 million Americans have diabetes and another 79 million are at risk for type 2 diabetes. If current trends continue, one in three American adults will have diabetes by 2050," said Beth Mayer-Davis, MSPH, PhD, RD, President, Health Care & Education, American Diabetes Association. "This is why we are so excited to be collaborating with sanofi-aventis U.S., the NBA, WNBA, NBA D-League and these great players and role models to raise awareness about diabetes and the importance of prevention and management of this potentially deadly disease."
"Sanofi-aventis U.S. is committed to raising awareness of diabetes. With an estimated 7 million Americans who remain undiagnosed, education is essential," stated Dennis Urbaniak, Vice President, Head of U.S. Diabetes, sanofi-aventis U.S. "We are proud to partner with the NBA, WNBA, NBA D-League and the American Diabetes Association to help communicate this important message to a nationwide audience."
Dribble to Stop Diabetes will also roll out a series of additional initiatives as part of the campaign, including diabetes educational materials distributed through the league's NBA/WNBAFIT program, and a Web site to launch this week (www.dribbletostopdiabetes.com) to educate fans and encourage them to discuss diabetes with their health care providers.
"Dribble to Stop Diabetes is a great complement to our NBA/WNBA FIT program as we work to promote health and wellness for fans of all ages," said NBA Executive Vice President, Social Responsibility & Player Programs Kathy Behrens. "We are excited to partner with the American Diabetes Association and sanofi-aventis U.S. in their fight against the growing diabetes epidemic."

The outgoing head of Israel's Shin Bet security service (the Israeli equivalent of the FBI) is leaving his post on a pessimistic note. Avi Dichter says Jewish militants might open fire on Israeli troops during this summer's planned withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. Or worse, he says they could try a suicide attack to kill Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. "Suicide attacks are not limited to the Palestinians," Dichter told Israel's biggest newspaper "Yediot Ahronot." "There can be Jewish suicide attackers. Their first target is the Prime Minister." Dichter urged the government to demolish Jewish settlements in Gaza to avoid what he called a "festival of looting" by Palestinians. But the government plans to leave the communities in tact, saying it would take too much time and money to raze them.

Step 1: What I Looked Like Before
Just try it you will see.
But remember you won't succeed if you don't want to. ;)
Naturally the article advocates avoiding high fat, high sugar, high carbohydrate foods in favor of more fruits and vegetables. It also argues home athletes defeat themselves by trying to do too much too intensely. Rest and recovery are important parts of training, too. The article advised 16 weeks of easy riding to get ready for the more intense workouts. Then ride two to three times a week at around 45 minutes to an hour per session. The ride intensity is about the place where breathing through one's nose is about to become breathing through one's mouth. (That is what I discovered by using a heart rate monitor watch to follow the recommendations.) On the weekends add a ride about 90 minutes in length at the same intensity.
The researchers found it takes about 30 minutes of riding at the suggested pace to begin converting stored fat to energy.
Cycling does not train all of the body, so some resistance exercises with stretch bands were encouraged by the Selle Royal study.
I lost quite a bit of weight with a bicycle, too. Weight loss was not as fast as when I was younger, and there were frustrating plateaus. The one big mistake I made was not using sun protection. An event with a skin cancer means I now need to cover up if I cycle during daylight hours.
The problem is that he is adept at age 60 the vegetarian way of life and a habit of many years of cycling, my region (interior of sao paulo) is very favorable for the practice of cycling because it is very flat roads and climate good the whole year (about 25 to 30o.Celsius).
Result: I took a tremendous earful from my way of life wrong.
From now on I will concientizar and seek ways to improve.
Congratulations ...
Sorry for the mistakes in grammar, because not mastered the English language and still use the feature translator online.
I dont think it is bad taking the dog out twice a day. As long as you dont try to run faster than the dog it cannot be considered as a real exercise, more as some healthy movements.
Anyway congrats on your achievement and glad to see the positive effects!
Used to have a terrific 12-speed Diamondback, but it got stolen...and I still have the bike computer head I used to use.
Guess I gotta spend some money, then....
Your story is an inspiration to us all. Thank you for sharing with us and I hope my story will be as successful as yours is.
Same here, Ive been biking seriously for the last 25 years.
- Do all of my local shopping by bike, anything within 5mi
- Ride ~2K mi / yr
- Cut calories down to ~1K a day
- Am 95% vegetarian, except for occasional party food
- 5' 9", 145 lbs, BMI 18
- Switched to a recumbent Bikee in 95, even more fun!
- No skeletal issues any more
Its The way to go!
Next came physical activity. For me, my predominant activity is Bikram Yoga. I also ride a bicycle, mostly to and from yoga.
As important as exercise is, it's only part of the equation. The most dominant factor is food. Checkout durienrider at 30bananasaday.com ...not sure if the comments screen out domains, but it's the number thirty - 30 - followed by bananas a day dotcom. I have no ties or interest in promoting the site other than I think the message of what you eat is even more important than physical activity.
Again, congratulations, and I hope you'll look at the info on what to eat
I started my lifestyle change in the late part of September. I stopped eating junk (except small splurges on Friday afternoons) and became a vegetarian. I started going to the gym regularly and joined a yoga class several times a week. I even ran in my first 5k!
Exercise and diet changed my life. I have lost 35 pounds and feel so much better about myself. It has never once been easy, but it has been fun like you said. I'm glad that you wrote this Instructable and hope this is an inspiration to a lot of other people.
As a side note I bought a bike a few days ago and plan to replace my commute to and from work with a nice ride.

Savory Shortbread Recipe
Killer App: Parmesan, Black Pepper, and Thyme Crackers
Make these savory shortbread crackers your go-to entertaining app.One last tip: if you'd like to make these crackers ahead of time (aside from baking them off), wrap the dough log a second time in heavy-duty tinfoil, and keep it in the freezer until it's time to bake. Additionally, they're a good candidate for baking off only a few at a time — return the remaining dough to the freezer for another day.
So what are you waiting for? Make these today, so you'll be confident in their preparation come the next party you host.
Adapted from Ina Garten
Parmesan, Black Pepper, and Thyme Crackers
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 ounces (about 1 1/4 cups) grated parmesan
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or rosemary leaves
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Using the paddle attachment on a stand mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the parmesan cheese, flour, salt, thyme, and pepper, and beat until it clumps together into a ball, pulls away from the sides of the bowl, and few, if any, loose crumbs remain.
- Turn the dough out onto a large sheet of plastic wrap, knead it a few times until a smooth ball forms without any major cracks, and roll it into a 13-inch log.
- Wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes, or until firm. While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Slice the log into roughly 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces (just make sure they're all the same thickness). Place the dough slices about an inch apart on the half-sheet pan and bake for 16 to 22 minutes (depending on their thickness), or until firm and golden brown.
Makes 30 to 40 crackers.

News Marlboro College presents ''Margaret's Waltz'' and The MacArthur Family, March 29.
MARLBORO, VT - (March 18, 2009) - Marlboro College will host a free, public screening of Rebecca Padula's film, Margaret's Waltz, on Sunday, March 29, at 3:00 pm in the Whittemore Theater. The MacArthur Family folk band will perform following the film.
Margaret's Waltz is a documentary about Vermont's First Lady of Folk: Margaret MacArthur. The film won the Northeast Alliance for Community Media's award for best documentary event in 2007.
The film is packed with concert footage and interviews taken during two tributes to MacArthur, who recorded 11 albums; co-authored the seminal "Vermont Heritage Song Book" in 1994; was named a New England Living Art Treasure by the University of Massachusetts a year later; and, in 2005, debuted at the Kennedy Center and Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
"She [MacArthur] has made a contribution in the preservation and popularity of American folk music that has proved no less than mighty," wrote Colin Irwin of London's Melody Maker.
A Marlboro resident, MacArthur passed away in May of 2006. Her children, Dan, Gary, and Megan, carry on her folksong tradition as The MacArthur Family. Megan's voice, called "a clear fluid instrument" in SingOut magazine, her simple bass playing, Dan's talented guitar work, home made songs and great singing, all combine with Gary's harmonies and rough and tumble style of fiddle playing, to create a sound that effortlessly carries the listener deep into the history and culture of traditional Vermont life.
For more information, please contact the Marlboro College Public Relations Department at (802) 251-7644, or visit the news section at www.marlboro.edu.
Marlboro College offers undergraduate education in the liberal arts and graduate study focused on Internet technologies. Its 330 undergraduate students enjoy an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, a voice in governing the community and individualized courses of study on a 350-acre campus in the hills of southern Vermont.

ALPENA - The Michigan Aviation Association has been holding its Michigan Air Tour since 1928 as a way to promote aviation and educate about the economic impact air travel has on communities. On Sunday the tour, which had about 30 planes, made a stop at the Alpena County Regional Airport for the first time since 2007. While at the airport, MAA President Bob Shafer presented a proclamation from Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder that designated September 'Aviation Month' in the state.
Airport Manager Billi McRoberts said the MAA has the tour each year, but it only makes a stop in Alpena periodically because it wants to spread its message to all of the communities in Michigan that have airports.
"The group is a non-profit corporation formed to operate exclusively for charity, as well as scientific and educational purposes," McRoberts said. "They have the annual tour visit, they stagger the airports they visit, so they only stop in Alpena every four or five years."
Out of the 30 aircraft that took part in the tour, a majority stopped in Alpena to take part in the ceremony.
"Not all of the planes landed because of some impending weather, but I would say there was about 25 of them," McRoberts said. "The Experimental Aircraft Association hosted a lunch for them, and the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center did a tour of the base. It seemed like they liked the airport and Alpena."
McRoberts said Shafer gave a brief presentation about how much money an airport brings into the local community before presenting Alpena County Commissioner Gerald Fournier the proclamation from the governor.
"Shafer said according to the Michigan Department of Transportation, an airport can bring as much as $9 million a year to a community, and that is a large impact," McRoberts said. "It really shows the importance of having a local airport."
Shafer said in a press release that the close relationship between the airport and the CRTC help everybody.
"Because Alpena is a dual-use airport, with both civilian and military traffic, we think it's an excellent example of how a regional airport can benefit even those citizens who never physically use the facility. Citizens of our state, indeed our nation, all derive benefit from the activities at the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center," Shafer said. "Add to that the scheduled airline service which operates out of Alpena, and it's clear that your airport is a vital resource for more than just northern Michigan."
McRoberts said Shafer also talked about how investment in airports is important and how money spent on airport operations may be more beneficial than other means of transportation.
"He said 'if you spend a million dollars, it will allow you to get down that stretch of road, but if you spend a million dollars on a runway, it will get you anywhere in the world.' I thought that was very interesting and a good point," she said.

"We opted for the curvy design.The first batch that arrived, the names were cut off. But customer service was great and issued a brand new, corrected order. Love the product! Very classy!"
"Year after year tiny prints comes through with great design, quick turnaround time, and fabulous customer service. The chalkboard design is current and yet still very classic. Thank you tiny prints."
"The paper quality was excellent. The picture of my son was photoshop by us and looked great on the card. A religious card was available that I liked. I will use TinyPrints again."
"I was very happy to find a design that reflected our thoughts about Christmas being about the coming of our Savior into the world. It was refreshing to find cards designed for the true meaning of Christmas. The quality of the cardstock was a nice surprise. I was expecting the usual photo paper and this was excellent paper quality. This design choice had extra opennings for 7 pictures of our family. The great design, the ease of preparation, the qualitry of both photo and paper will be the reasons to shop Tiny Prints next Christmas also! Great product-thank you."
"This was my first time ordering from Tiny Prints. Super easy to create my card and add my photos. Lots of designs to choose from and loved this one since I have 2 puppies! The paper quality of the card is excellent! They are a nice heavy card, not like your typical photo paper cards. Will definitely order again!"

The Quadrantids come from an asteroid called 2003 EH1, just as the Geminids did in early December. Expect to see about 80 meteors per hour.
Tips for best viewing of the meteor shower
The meteor shower is expected to "last only a few hours," according to NASA.com. That means you should look for it in the the night of Jan. 2-3, not the night of Jan. 3-4. The best time to view the meteors is between 3 a.m. and dawn.
Earthsky.org reports the Quadrantids peak might be in the hours just before dawn on Jan. 3.
"Face the general direction of north-northeast, but take in as wide an expanse of sky as possible. Watch from about 2 a.m. until dawn," Earthsky writes.
If there is cloud cover iin Gulfport, you can watch a Ustream feed of the meteor shower on Jan. 2-4 on NASA.com.
The beach is always a nice spot, away from the lights of the city. Do you have a favorite place to watch shooting stars?

There's a spotlight on housing in Lewiston, after three arson fires this spring tore through nine apartment buildings over the span of a week. In the aftermath, Lewiston Mayor Bob Macdonald held a meeting with landlords to discuss how to handle what some had characterized as disorderly tenants, as part of an effort to clean up the city. But some tenants say they're unfairly taking the blame for shoddy apartment conditions, and today, they met with the mayor and code enforcement officials to give their side of the story. Patty Wight reports.
Melissa Dunn speaks at a meeting of Lewiston tenants with mayor Bob Macdonald (left) and code enforcement officers.
Lewiston is Melissa Dunn's hometown. And while she welcomes the new found attention to the city's housing issues, she says the problems are nothing new.
"This has been going on for quite some time," Dunn says. "We work with tenants constantly that face retaliation just for asking for a simple repair - for a smoke detector in their home."
Dunn is the resident coordinator of the Neighborhood Housing League, an advocacy group for fair, safe, and affordable housing. She says the majority of Lewiston's tenants are responsible residents. Yet, too often, they face unsafe housing conditions and neglect from landlords.
At the meeting at City Hall, about about a dozen-and-a-half tenants told Mayor Bob Macdonald and three code enforcement officers stories of faulty stoves, mold issues, and pests - everything from cockroaches, to rats, to bedbugs.
"I did get evicted for a very surprising reason: I got evicted for getting bedbugs, and I didn't think that was right," says Sirri Cressey.
Cressey says she was kicked out after inadvertantly bringing home bedbugs from friends she visited. Another prime area of concern for tenants are demolitions. There are over 100 distressed properties in Lewiston. About a dozen were demolished last year, and at least a dozen more are slated for demolition this year.
But these are old buildings that present health hazards, says Jim Lysen. He's the executive director of Community Clinical Services in Lewiston.
"When a building gets torn down, if it's not done properly, you've got asbestos, you've got lead, you've got stuff going into the air," Lysen says. "And, of course, it's a spectacle that people want to go see."
Tenants complained that the city doesn't give adequate notice and warnings of these demolitions, so the task falls to organizations like the Neighborhood Housing League. Mayor Macdonald thanked them for their help, and asked them to continue because the city is strapped for resources.
"We can't hire any more people. We're trying not to lay off any people right now, okay? Because the tax rate's going up," Macdonald said.
This was the recurring theme of the meeting: Tenants complained, city officials said their hands are tied.
"I can appreciate the anger," says Gil Arsenault, Lewiston's director of Code Enforcement, "bcause there are people that believe that the city doesn't care, and the city hasn't stepped to the plate. And that is absolutely untrue."
Arsenault says the city's code enforcement officers do everything they can to follow up with complaints and ensure safe housing conditions. He says most landlords want to do the right thing, but they struggle with the cost of upkeep in old buildings.
The meeting was mostly an opportunity to air grievances, with little resolution to the issues that surfaced. But Fatuma Hussein of United Somali Women of Maine offered one suggestion: engaging help from organizations like hers.
"Code enforcement, I know you're very short-staffed, but I think there's a lot of folks that you can use out there, whether it's interpretation, or awareness or education, so there's a partnership that's built," Hussein said.
Arsenault agrees that the job of improving conditions in Lewiston's apartments can't rest on code enforcement alone - it will take the entire community.

Comments On Dec 01, 2012:The manufacturing of this helmet is faulty. Measured head before ordered and the size should have been just right with maybe a little extra room. The helmet was a little tough to put on and almost took my head off when tried to remove it. I sent back and got next size up. went on just the same and had way too much room could turn around on head but when I went to take it off it practically took my head with it again. The opening on this helmet is way to small for the rest of the helmet no matter what size you order.

Comments On Feb 22, 2012:First off, yes, this is an inexpensive helmet, so don't expect an Arai or Shoei. However, as far as bargain priced helmets go ($75-$150), this is a good helmet. My head is an oval shape, and this Nova fit very well. I wear a size medium in most helmets, and this one fit spot on. The venting is good, the construction is good, and the style is good. The liner snaps in and out for cleaning, and my Oakley and Spy goggles both fit well in the eye port. The look is similar to a Fox, and the opening, to squeeze your melon into, is tight just like a Fox. Overall I really like the helmet, and the fit is good. Would buy again.

The Story of The Twilight Hours
Experience eternity in a single song!
Posted by Omniscient
A beautiful name, The Twilight Hours. And the music is ravishing.
But who are these two men from Minneapolis? Can the hearts of John Munson and Matt Wilson be as pure as these songs we hear?
No. These are two practical and desperate gentlemen who have scrubbed around in the underbrush of music long enough to have touched glory and to have been gored by humiliation. Imagine the most moldy dressing room inside the loneliest bar. Now imagine two middle-aged men on a vinyl couch, crying in their underwear. There have been some sad moments.
Three decades ago, like proud and powerful young rodents, Munson and Wilson set about digging at the roots of a golden shrubbery called Music. They scratched the dirt for money and glory they thought might be buried underneath. Meanwhile, as they gouged their holes, time and wind killed the plant. Now, decades later, they raise their brown heads to see that the bush is dead! And there is no treasure! What else can the two rodents do, but return to their digging? They are The Twilight Hours.
And yet, weirdly – impossibly – the recordings that Munson and Wilson have patched together possess the power to build a green and complete universe inside your mind. How can two such degraded men create a sonic landscape of endless moisture and springtime. How?
How are insects made? Who teaches the birds to fly? Musicologists can explain the science behind Munson's booming bass technique. Divinity students can guess as to the source of magic lies behind Wilson's poetry. But here we are, in the flickering twilight of their time on earth, and their music is definitive, true and alive.
Still, you have questions. You need to hear the details of their broken lives – the scamming for money, the orchestras they've assembled and discarded. Maybe, if you gained some biographical context, you could decode the music: you could understand the songs as machines, rather than as incantations. Because when a work of unspeakable religious majesty such as "Stereo Night" looms directly above us like a tree that can touch the clouds – and then rise through them into heaven – isn't it our duty is to dissect the tree? If The Twilight Hours present us with a plant whose fruit can give eternal life, isn't it our job to study the fruit? To break it down and understand?
Eat! Eat the fruit. Stop questioning, and live forever! Bite down and experience eternity in a single song!
Those of you who fear magic, continue with your questions. Learn more history. Study the science of things that are dead.
And for those of you who are ready to fly up to the sun: here are The Twilight Hours.

Great Value. The quality of this rug is very good for the price. I bought three, sage color. The color is more of an olive color than sage but I still like them. I'll be back for more!
I ordered this for a long hallway and I am very pleased. The pattern is distinct and I think the rug looks like a more expensive wool rug. It also is thicker than I thought it would be. I did put a rug gripper underneath so it wouldn't slide. My hallway looks much better!
The rug runner was exactly as described. The quality and workmanship is terrific - the rug looks great. Would recommend it to buy.
I've had this rug and the same 3x5 rug for a year. They wear really well, vaccuum great......The only thing was is that I ordered sage, and the color is really a deep olive green. Great color, but did not match my decor. So if you're looking at the green.....it's Dark OLIVE
I ordered this rug for my entranceway. I am used to ordering wool rugs of a higher quality but this rug will get a lot of wear and tear so I didn't want to invest in a more expensive rug that will just get ruined after a year or two. The rug is a bit thinner than I expected and the backing is very rough.I bought a high quality pad (cost almost as much as the rug!) to protect the hardwood flooring underneath the rug. The rug is, however, very attractive and looks great on the floor. I have even received a few compliments.
I was very pleased with this run and ordered 3 more to continue down the hall. They have a rich look to them. Very satisfied.
I have always had great luck with overstock.Can't say enough good things about variety,price and service.
I ordered four of these to surround my king size bed. They look fantastic over the ceramic tile floor. This is an excellent value. I always check overstock.com when I need anything for the bedroom. I have never been disappointed with any purchase that I made from this website.
Looks more expensive than it is. Upon arrival, I put a few books on the corners to make lay flat. Worked like a charm! Very nice! I'm looking for a space so that I could put another one.
This runner rug, fit perfectly into our hallway and was true to color in the picture. Matches our couch color perfectly.
