Pizza >Benny's Pizzeria
Rte 209, Stone Rdg, NY | Directions 1248441.838994 -74.156358
Mon. - Sun. 11am - 11pm
Do not eat here ... you will get sick...!! – I wrote a long review on this and it did not go through....I should write a review on City Search and their website...
Anyway, do not eat here. You will get sick.
Happened to me and my employees Six (6) times out of twelve (12) times. food is kept in an outdoor mouse house shed, food is pre-cooked and sits around WAY too long, Benny doe snot care about quality or service and neither do his employees.
I could go on and on. All I can say is do not eat here, you will get sick. AFter my entire office getting sick again on Benny's food...I decided to write this review.
I spoke to Benny, but he could care less.
If you do not get sick, you will get subpar quality food at the very least. The people who said the pizza is good have no clue. Soft, chewy, soggy crust, lousy tomato sauce, and off-tasting el-cheapo brand cheese do not make for a good pizza.
While the pizza is bad, NEVER eat any of the chicken or meat dishes. These have been bad to the point of having to throw it out before even taking a bite or after the first bite...when it was clear the food was spoiled.
Do not eat here. The food will make you sick and the service with attitude sucks.
O BOY alot of money – Yeah This could have been a great place to eat if bennny really made the pizza the people he has working for him suck and are VERY RUDE and cant make a pizza to save there souls! Dont get it delivered it will cost you a arm and the leg! The only reason he stays in busn. is bc he the only one that delivers in the stone rige area. I stoped ordering. Hope the one in kingston better! Benny get a grip on things you say your food so much bc of its top stuff .....O PLEASE! FIRE THEM PEOPLE as well. I think we should get a new pizzeria in TOWN PLEASE!!
Not the best – What happened to friendly customer service?
What a dissapointment.... – After reading reviews for Benny's I decided to give it a try. When I placed the order, I was given attitude by the young girl answering the phone. I was told the pizza would be here within the hour....an hour and a half later it arrived. For 2 pizzas it cost me $38 due to delivery fees. Thats just flat out insane considering I am no more than a 10 minute drive from the place. The pizza was luke warm when it got here, the dough slightly undercooked and the sauce just being too sweet for my likings, I will NEVER order from Benny's again.
PIZZA AT IT'S BEST – It would seem to me, if you are writing a restaurant review, you should stick to the subject matter and tell of the quality of food you were served and the service you were provided with when you dined at said restaurant. I am compelled to tell my opinion of Benny's restaurant located in Kingston, NY and the original store location in Stone Ridge, NY. I have dined at both, more often in Kingston, so I will write of that restaurant in my review. I think the pizza is awesome and the portions are extremely generous. I have had quiet lunches there as well as fun dinners with a gaggle of my friends. It's a great place to celebrate with friends, or to eat a slice alone while reading the newspaper. I think the prices are fair, for the portions you are served. The meat slice are huge and I have never been there when my friends were hungry for a second slice...one is more then enough. If you're really looking for a massive portion, try ordering a calzone...they're HUGE!
On many Friday and Saturday nights, there is a table set up with complimentary cannoli's and fried dough and hot coffee, too. I have even seen Benny send free garlic knots and wine to people waiting on their dinners. In these economic times, to have a restaurant owner be so generous when he is able, I think it 's unusually rare and really awesome.
If I have ever had a complaint, it would have been that there was never enough parking, but that is no longer a problem as the restaurant now has additional parking on the far side of the building.
I think it's important to support local business during these unknown economic times and if you are unhappy with your first visit, give the business a second chance...that only seems fair to me. I think to own a restaurant at a time when people are cutting back on the luxury of eatting out, it must be quite scary, so to find a place that gives you more then just the status quo for your buck, keep giving it your business. Treat yourself to Benny's and see if you like it.
I read the last review and I just feel that this space should be respected as a place to review the food you receive at a restaurant and the service you are given. If they offer a meeting place to gather to purge bad job experiences or terrible bosses, let me know...Heaven knows we all have our side of a story to share about a job gone wrong. Hey, I'll even do one better, I'll not only show up, but I'll bring the pizza.
Benny's is a nice place to grab a slice, order a nice dinner or even try sushi....they seem to have alot to offer. On most days, you'll catch Benny there....and that's kind of a nice touch, too.
If you're in Kingston, stop in and try a slice...the BBQ Chicken and the Buffalo Chicken slices are delicious! And don't forget the Stone Ridge restaurant, I'm definatley a fan of both spots.
BAD PEOPLE – My name is Lindsey and I used to work at Benny's. Benny hired me in January. After working for 2 weeks, he told me that he really liked me and "kept his mind on point" with my witty jokes and good energy.
WELL, the next day I was FIRED! ("for what happened last night"). And not by the person that hired me(Benny), but by another driver!!! And when I asked to speak with Benny, I was told he was not there...but he was (my best friend worked there too and told me that)...How pathetic.
So anyway, the thing that had "happened last night" was I had lost a $12.96 ticket with money after I delivered a cheese pizza to a place. I couldn't find it for "like, a half hour" (time documented by the brilliant Rosalie-Benny's daughter, who, might I add, thought that I wanted her boyfriend), but ended up finding it in a coat I had worn while delivering, but had taken off in between then and closing time. I gave her the ticket at the end of the night and was happy that I had found it!!
ANYWAY, the next day I got a message from the driver named Jeremy that I was fired because of "what happened last night". I still had a pizza bag in my car with about 100 menus. So the next day I bring them back and there is Benny. I had thmein my hands and raised them, insinuating, "Where should I put these?". He goes. "You, put those there" and pointed to an area that I should put them down.
So I did and neatly stacked the menus with all the other ones. I then asked if I was going to be given a reason by the person that hired me, why I was being fired. He said "I dunno, something happened between you and Rosalie, I still haven't talked to her". I then thought to myself, "If he hasn't even talked to her, how am I fired??".
So I asked him that, he gave me the run around then proceeded to tell me that "Rosalie's a boss here, and I don't question anything she says". What a wuss...maybe he should have taken into consideration that he daughter was jealous of me because she thought I liked her boyfriend. Also,all of her girlfriends worked there, so no one really liked me, except for some of the cooks and other (male) drivers.
So, before I left I told Benny that he has got to be kidding about accusing me of trying to STEAL $12.96 FROM THE PIZZA PLACE. I would deliver $10-$80 orders....BUT what the is $13.00????
He said he would talk to Rosalie and see about "maybe getting my job back". But I turned around and said, "No thanks, I really would not want to work here anymore anyway".
So, that's the type of people that own Benny's....and this is only a SMALL idea of the stuff that goes on there.
He fired my best friend Natalie because she couldn't work on Wednesday nights because she had VOLUNTEER rescue squad meetings, and would call all of them kitchen help Mexicans, even though they were Guatamalen and other ethnicities.
What an ignoramous!!!!
Not so impressed! – Good BBQ chicken pizza and salads but is the only resturant I have ever been to that does not have ice! If you order a fountain drink in the middle of a 95 degree hot summer day...you will not get ice. This normally will not be enough for me to lower a rating so far but....the attitude you get when you ask for ice is unbeliveable I am sure they are pretty sensitive about being the only resturant in the world not to have ice since they quicly snap when asked. Even hot dog stands have ice! Buy bags and keep it in a cooler if you need! When I asked , the girl at the counter said that they do not have ice. I said I was flabbergasted and have never heard of such a thing and she replied that "thier customers do not complain". I have since witnessed others get thier head chopped off in similar fashion for the same disbelief. Funny that the new resturant in kingston has an ice machine...as well as a great view of the dishwasher from the diningroom...not to mention highwayside dining on albany avenue! Some of the pizza is ok but I am not impressed with the service at the stone ridge store overall. On a more positive note...the staff is much friendlier at the new kingston store. I do not go to Benny's anymore. Laflorentina is so much better and right up the road.
Great Food, Best pizza around – The pizza is excellent. The Subs are great too. The turkey breast is roasted onsite and fresh. I highly recommend everything on the menu. The only complaint i have is the pasta dishes that specify linguini come with regular spaghetti and according to the waitress they didn't carry linguini. Keep up the good work.
Gotta Love Benny's – Benny's Pizzeria is the best pizza in Ulster County. Stop in for a slice or get a hot pie to go you won't be disappointed. I heard they are coming to Kingston and I can't wait. As it is now, I drive from Kingston to Stone Ridge just to pick up a Benny's Pizza to go for my family. Totally worth the drive!!!! Go Benny's!!!

Homeless man lives with dead people for 15 years
Grave-squatting Serbian survives on foraged candles, garbage scraps and cigarette butts.
The next time you find yourself complaining about the high cost of living consider this: You could always live in a cemetery. For free. That's what a 43-year-old homeless man from Serbia has been doing for the past 15 years, reports the International Business Times.
More from MSN Living: 40 time-saving tips
Former construction worker, Bratislav Stojanovic, has been sleeping in a garbage-filled concrete space, spanning only two square yards in Nis, south Serbia. After getting robbed by other homeless people on several occasions, he moved to the cemetery, a place with minimal (live) human interference.
More from MSN Living: 7 easy ways to get better sleep
Stojanovic spends much of his time foraging for candles to keep his modest space warm and survives on a diet of food scraps he finds in the garbage.
From the outside, living a life six feet under looks like a lonely existence.
Bing: Strangest houses in the world
"I had a friend who also lived at the cemetery, but he left as his grave was damp," he told the International Business Times. "I had a girlfriend, also homeless, but she's gone. She died, but it is nicer to say that she's gone," he was quoted.
Living underground seems like a major lifestyle adjustment.
"I was afraid in the beginning, but I got used to it in time. Now I am more afraid of the living than of the dead," he told Reuters.

The newly-crowned IBF world champion, and die-hard Chelsea supporter, Darren Barker was a half-time guest on the pitch during our midweek win over Aston Villa, and he spoke with the official Chelsea website to reflect on his wonderful boxing achievement, as well as outline his hopes for the Blues this season…
It was just before 6am (UK time) last Sunday when Barker, having taken a body shot from his opponent Daniel Geale in the sixth round of their world-title fight, fell to the canvas in Atlantic City.
His body language appeared to suggest his hopes of securing the belt were in tatters, as he writhed around in agony, but midway through the referee's count, Barnet-born Barker somehow managed to stagger to his feet, refusing to throw in the towel.
The next time he hit the canvas it was in a state of euphoria, having completed another six rounds and been awarded the fight - and the belt - on a split decision. It was a truly remarkable comeback by the 31-year-old, and an achievement he is still coming to terms with, as he explains.
'It's still sinking in and I don't think I'll get completely used to it for a while,' he says. 'It's an absolute dream come true, I've been fighting for 19 years and as a young boxer you set out to win a world title. There were times in my career when I never thought it would happen, so it's an unbelievable feeling.
'I can believe it because I wanted it so much. They would have had to nail me to the canvas for me not to get up, there was no chance I wasn't going to carry on fighting. I was in bits, I was very badly winded, but there was no chance I was staying on the mat.
'It feels weird at the moment. When I was in Atlantic City a dad came up to me with his little boy to have a photo. He said to the boy that he was standing next to the world champion, and I had to look around because I didn't realise he was talking about me. It just doesn't feel totally real at the moment but I'm sure it will in time.'
British boxing has enjoyed something of a renaissance in recent years, with promoters putting on exciting, entertaining events for a public which had, for a few years, become slightly disillusioned with where the sport was heading.
Over the course of the next few months the big fights continue to come, with David Haye taking on Tyson Fury and Carl Froch fighting George Groves, another Chelsea fan.
Barker, who takes to the ring with the Chelsea badge sewn into his shorts, predicts good times ahead, and paid tribute to the work being carried out by his own promoter, Eddie Hearn, son of Leyton Orient chairman Barry.
'It looks like I'll have a fight around December time but nothing's been made official as yet, I just hope it doesn't clash with the Chelsea fixtures,' he laughs.
'It's exciting times for British boxing fans. Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Sport, who promote me, have done a fantastic job. In the past there were a lot of mismatches and people were getting fed up, but they are putting on fights that boxing fans and the general public want to see, and long may it continue.'
As talk turned to his other sporting passion - Chelsea Football Club - Barker cited his frustration at missing our opening-day win over Hull City, but the Stamford Bridge season ticket holder was delighted to be in attendance for Wednesday's win over Paul Lambert's side, where he was given a wonderful ovation by both sets of supporters as he paraded the belt around the pitch at the break.
'I was in the lobby leaving the hotel on Sunday just as the Hull game was kicking off, I caught about two minutes but missed it, although I was buzzing when I heard we got the result,' he recalls. 'Hull have only just come up and they were hungry, it was a good three points because those games can be tricky.
'The win against Villa was great because they were coming off the back of a good win against Arsenal and their confidence was high. It was a good, professional performance and the most important thing was getting another victory.'
Having recorded two straight home wins, it's been a solid start to the new campaign, and Barker was delighted to see Jose Mourinho return to west London over the summer.
'He's a great manager and gets the best out of the players individually, but most importantly I'm hoping Stamford Bridge will become a fortress once again, a place where other teams are scared of coming to.
'For a while, teams have come to the Bridge and left with points, which is frustrating to watch as a supporter, so hopefully he'll turn that around.
'The new signings look lively and I think they can all have a big impact this season. They've all impressed me so far, and [Romelu] Lukaku did well when he came off the bench against Villa. [Eden] Hazard looked good once again; just prior to the first goal he produced a lovely piece of skill to get into the box, there's no denying his talent but I'm just looking forward to watching the squad as a whole, it should be an exciting season.'
Inevitably, the beginning of any new season sees supporters identify realistic targets for their clubs. Barker is certainly no exception, and he has high expectations for the Blues this term, believing we can go for glory on all fronts.
'The Premier League title should be a big target, but obviously a club like Chelsea, with the squad we have, should be looking to challenge in all competitions,' he says.
'I don't think we should favour one over the other. We have so many talented players that we should be looking to make an impact in every tournament.'
Barker, as likeable a high-profile sportsman as you are ever likely to find, has been following the Blues long enough to have witnessed memorable triumphs such as the three Premier League titles and countless domestic cups.
When pressed for his favourite memory as a Chelsea supporter, however, there is one night which, in his eyes, which will prove difficult to top.
'The Champions League final trip is my favourite memory without a doubt,' he chooses. 'We did a road trip to Munich and it was such a laugh. It was my 30th birthday, the game itself was unbelievable, the atmosphere was amazing and then to go to the post-match celebrations was the icing on the cake.
'That is easily my favourite moment as a Chelsea fan, we had such a laugh at the service station in Calais, from start to finish we didn't stop laughing and obviously in terms of the football it doesn't get any better.
'I managed to speak to all of the players, including the likes of Frank and Didier, and I've got some brilliant photos. They're memories I'll treasure forever and it was the best birthday I've ever had.'

The NFL has Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football and Thursday Night Football.
Come playoff time, they play on Saturday night, too.
College football is on five nights a week and all day Saturday.
Spoiled as a fan, it just doesn't seem fair that I can see only three Illinois High School Association quarterfinal games in a weekend filled with juicy matchups.
Options are further limited because just one game, Notre Dame-Lake Forest in Class 6A, is Friday night.
Random updates are no way to follow Maine South-Glenbard North, Glenbard West-Wheaton North, Mount Carmel-Lyons and Montini-Marian Catholic while trying to enjoy Palatine-Loyola and Waubonsie-Neuqua, but it's Twitter's world, and I'm just living in it.
So I complain without offering a solution, because that's what bloggers do. We're the worst.
Without further ado, my Class 5A-7A picks. (8A was posted Thursday)
Class 7A
(1) Glenbard West vs. (5) Wheaton North
Glenbard West coach Chad Hetlet said at the outset of the playoffs that good luck is required for a deep run. Wheaton North got the opposite with Clayton Thorson's broken collarbone.
Pick: Glenbard West 21-7
(2) Rockford Boylan at (6) Lake Zurich
Two-time defending state champion Boylan needed a miracle to extend its winning streak to 39 last week against Fenwick. Boylan beat the Bears 16-10 in Rockford last year.
Pick: Lake Zurich 10-7
(2) Benet at (8) Downers Grove North
Anyone see this coming a couple months ago? Liar.
Pick: Benet 21-17
(1) Lincoln-Way East vs. (2) Edwardsville
Three straight home games for the Griffins.

Quote:I agree with what MW says. In addition, I know for a fact that many check the boards frequently to see if there are any negative posts about them.
Quote:I too was very disappointed. So disappointed that I did not read most of it.I had admired certain stands that Greg had taken and I thought Michael was a smart guy. I also thought each had the best interests of the hobby at heart. I am not sure if I feel that way now. At some point I will try to read the whole thread but in the meantime I am pretty down on the whole hobby.Jim

It is hard to say not seeing it, but generaly speaking, if it is working correctly, it is installed correctly.
Where do you live.
Hi all,
My plumber installed a new toilet and cistern.
We were unable to flush the toilet properly because we are using a gravity fed system and the water was unable to go into the cistern.
He has now connected the toilet pipe to the pump so when we flush, the pump comes on.
Is this correct?
It is hard to say not seeing it, but generaly speaking, if it is working correctly, it is installed correctly.
Where do you live.
im in london uk.
so its normal for plumbers to connect the water feed to the pump for a toilet?
While I dont know your terminogloy lets see. The pump pumps water to the toilet, the toilet needs water to operate, the toilet wasn't working because the tank (cistern)wasn't filling with water, the plumber came and hooked up the pump (water) to the toilet, now the toilet operates.
Is your question to us
"should the pump (water) come on when we flush the toilet"
Do I have all this right? If I do then yes you need pressure to fill the toilet and flushing will lower the pressure and cause the pump to turn on. I have no idea what kinds of pressure settings you may have over there.

The problem is, we just don't understand your plumbing systems. When you say the plumber hooked the toilet to 'the pump,' we don't even know what kind of pump it is or where it is. We do not use cisterns nor do our 'water cylinders' look like yours. Typically, we have either water provided by our city at about 60 lbs. or we have a well with a submersible pump, or an above-ground jet pump. These deliver somewhere in the range of 40-60 or 50 - 70 lbs. of pressure. Our water heaters are an insulated tank with either a gas burner or a set of electric elements. (There are exceptions to these things, but this is what is most common.)
So, in order to answer your questions, we make assumptions. But we're talking past each other. We don't know what kind of pump you have, nor whether it's normal to be hooking toilets or anything else to it, other than possibly the cistern.
In another forum you posted in I recommended a UK plumbing forum to you. You would be far more likely to find a correct answer there. Our systems are very different from yours.

Carlson Relieved of Duties as Head Coach of Valparaiso Football Program
Sunday, November 10, 2013
Valparaiso director of athletics Mark LaBarbera announced today that Dale Carlson has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the Valparaiso University football program, effective immediately.
Carlson, the 16th head coach in Crusader football history, was in his fourth season leading the Valpo football program and departs with a 3-40 record at Valpo.
"We appreciate all the effort Dale Carlson has made during his time at Valpo to bring quality student-athletes to our campus that represent the university through their hard work on the field and in the classroom," said LaBarbera. "But the on-field results during his tenure have not met the expectations of the university, and consequently, we have decided it best for the future of our football program that we move in a different direction."
Assistant head coach Mike Gravier will serve as head coach for the Crusaders' season finale at Brown Field this Saturday, Nov. 16 at 1 p.m. against Dayton. A national search for the next head coach of the Valparaiso football program will begin immediately.

Suki Pure Facial Moisture-Nourishing
- Product Review (submitted on July 16, 2012):
- This product works best with other suki products. Using them all together I notice dramatic changes to my sensitive, acne prone face, however this is not a good product to mix and match with as it seems designed to work with the line best. Only thing that keeps my skin clear, and feels reaaly good which is a bonus

A light wind atomized bursts of freshly fallen snow across the vast field of expectant faces.
Was it the sun or the new president's words which caromed off the airborne crystals and transmuted the moist, icy air into a multimedia assault on the senses?
Was I there, or was I dreaming?
I stand before you today as aware of the pain in the nation as I am of the closeness of the coldness gripping my breath. The dank hand of doubt today clutches the throat of the country that seemed so very sure of itself such a very short time ago.
I have felt hungry hands eager for labor, lusting to create new wonders of worth for the world to see. I pledge this president and this government to filling those extended hands with the tools and the fuel with which to forge a renewed nation.
Can the United States continue to lead in a world where every little group pursues only narrow self interest? Yes, but only by honest example.
I have walked amazed through the streets of Los Angeles and so many other great cities, cities today perhaps in name only. Have we become a country in name only?
Everywhere, I have witnessed people erecting fences and building barriers between themselves and others who might speak or dress a little differently. This is the anti-work of pernicious minds and idle hands.
The government of this country has been too long removed like a stain from the fabric of its people. Rather than being woven from the same warp and woof, it has too often chosen to be a government of and for itself.
The treasury has been looted and national purpose perverted by tarnished knights inventing dragons to slay.
The nation has paid dearly for overuse of the iron fist.
Now, we must pay again to cure this deadly comedy committed in the name of making a safer planet. Let that price be paid, but let this be enough.
Let the word go forth from this time and place that our future shall be one of eliminating want, of subordinating greed, of serving true need, of succumbing to the better angels of our nature.
This president extends his open hand in this cold season of wishes for hope.
To this great work let us once again pledge our lives, our fortune and our sacred honor.
DEAR TRIBUNITES: John F. Kennedy, Jr., read the full 1991 original (see NevadaLabor.com) from which the above was taken.
SUPPORT THE RETURN OF COMMUNITY TV. Support the cause at Barbwire.TV by putting your money where my mouth is. Keep sending show suggestions. Education, i-Guns, gay Olympics and canned mustangs currently lead.
Happy Thanksgibleting.

Far better options out there, but none that can Explode. Electrode isn't meant for serious teams. It's also one of the fastest Pokémon. Sadly, it can't be put it to good use.
Basically, hit what you can and blow up when you're almost dead. Most people would say Explosion sucks with 198 attack. True, but if you play correctly you can try to set up the Explosion on something with a weak Defense like Blissey, Jumpluff, or Raikou (maybe even a weakened Snorlax). It isn't like Electrode has much else to do.
Supporter-type Electrode. Usually switch it in against enemy Electric-types and set up. Use Rest so that you can come in late-game. Explosion is just Explosion.
Other Options
Mirror Coat isn't that great, even if you play your game right. Screech helps Explosion if they don't switch and can also force switches. Substitute just blocks crap.
Checks and Counters
Electrode is rather weak, so anything that can take a solid Thunderbolt counters it. Depending on whether Electrode has Hidden Power, Steelix, Quagsire, or some other Rock-, Steel-, or defensive Ground-type can counter it; they have the added benefit of not fearing Explosion much.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg is defending the city's new ad campaign that takes aim at teenage parents, but the ads are coming under fire, including from a City Councilwoman who had a child as a teenager. NY1's Grace Rauh filed the following report.
It's a powerful image. A young child with tears in his eyes with a pointed message for his mom: "I'm twice as likely not to graduate high school because you had me as a teen."
The ad is part of a new campaign by the city to urge teenagers to think long and hard about the consequences of having a baby.
"If you want to stand out, you've got to really do something different, dramatic," said Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Critics say the messages cross the line.
City Councilwoman Annabel Palma was a teenage mother herself.
"I find it offensive that we have to target our teens in certain communities by telling them that they won't have a future. That's not the way to go," she said. "I was told by my own father, 'You will amount to nothing.'"
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn is no fan of the city's message, either. She said the city needs to change its campaign.
"I would urge them to rework them and kind of tone the blame down," she said.
Earlier this week, Planned Parenthood of New York City said the city is perpetuating gender stereotypes and presenting stigmatizing, fear-based messages.
The ads are up on bus shelters and on the Staten Island Ferry. By Monday, they will be on the subway.
"I had my first at 17," said one person. "All teenagers should know about teenage pregnancy. Advertise it the best way you can. That way, you can bring down the teenage pregnancy rate."
"These kids are not going to read this, and they're not going to look at that," said another. "They are going to look at that and laugh."
"It will make people think more before they decide to go ahead with the pregnancy," said a third.
City officials sid that the city's teen pregnancy rate has fallen by 27 percent over the last 10 years, but there are still more than 20,000 teen pregnancies each year.
"It's incumbent on us to explain to young kids that if you have a child, there's an enormous amount of responsibility that goes with it," Bloomberg said.
It's a responsibility the city said teenagers need to think about.

The current economic downturn highlights the importance—and challenges—of building a new 21st century innovation economy for America. To move beyond the current crisis, we need to retain and create advanced manufacturing and knowledge-intensive jobs, invest in green science and engineering research, and ensure the competitiveness of U.S. technology-based industries and workers.
Nanotechnology - which some scientists and business leaders hail as ushering in the next technology-driven Industrial Revolution - promises to be one of the critical foundations for this new innovation economy. Nanotechnology is still early in its development cycle, although a variety of nano-enabled products are already on the world market in clothing, cosmetics, washing machines, and sports equipment. Numerous novel nanotechnology applications with more radical capabilities and implications are foreseen across the economy, including in aerospace, construction, electronics, environment, medicine, and security.
Congress established the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) to coordinate substantial increases in federally-funded nanotechnology research and infrastructure. Federal investments have been directed mainly to support nanotechnology research centers and projects, with some resources also allocated to education, training, and consideration of environmental, health, and societal implications. Several U.S. states have launched programs to foster nanotechnology development. The new Obama administration is set to further expand Americas nanotechnology efforts, with additional federal R&D investment, including in the energy sector. Governments in Europe, China, Japan, and other countries have also greatly expanded their investments in nanotechnology R&D.
Yet, while hopes are high for nanotechnology, what is actually happening on the ground in terms of nanotechnology research and commercialization? In which regions and countries is nanotechnology research clustering, and what is the U.S. position relative to other international competitors? What has been achieved by the $10 billion federal nanotechnology R&D investment since 2001? Are U.S. companies also making long-term investments in nanotechnology, and in what sectors, technologies and locations are corporations focusing upon?
RSPV Information
Philip Shapira and Alan Porter of the Center for Nanotechnology in Society (CNS-ASU) will address these questions and more at a March 23 program with Project Director David Rejeski.
Shapira, a Professor with the School of Public Policy at Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and the Manchester Business School (England), is a leading expert on technology and innovation processes and policies and their impacts on economic and regional development and industrial competitiveness. Porter, an emeritus professor in industrial and systems engineering and in public policy at Georgia Tech, is internationally recognized for research on technology intelligence, forecasting, and assessment, and for mining electronic, bibliographic data sources to generate intelligence on emerging technologies. Shapira and Porter have collaborated in the development and analysis of large-scale global databases of nanotechnology research and commercialization activities.

The making of books is endless — particularly the making of bad books.
Such a bad book is this by Robert McChesney. It is particularly disappointing because McChesney has been a leading press critic, writing such important works as "Rich Media, Poor Democracy" and "Corporate Media and the Threat to Democracy."
He writes about the Internet: "We are entering terra incognita as machines change our basic understanding of what it means to be a human." He adds these other absurdities: the Internet will "transform the world" and will "change the world beyond all recognition."
Still more McChesney claptrap: we're "building a better world" through social media. As proof he cites the social media that helped produce the Arab Spring in 2011. He does not mention the authoritarian reactions that quickly undermined those revolutions.
He fires off this tired and false cliché: "We are all journalists now." And this: "The Internet can provide the greatest journalism and public sphere ever imagined."
The Internet does not change human nature. It does not change what it means to be human. It does not "transform the world." It does not "change the world beyond all recognition."
And it certainly does not change the U.S. economic system of gross inequality, riches for the 1 percent while so many people struggle with low wages and underemployment. America will still be the same capitalist nation it was yesterday, is today and will be tomorrow.
This country will continue to elect mediocre Democratic presidents like President Obama or reactionary Republicans like Bush II. Congress will continue to elect cretins who favor the status quo. And the Supreme Court will continue to hand down retrograde decisions.
McChesney talks about "living happily ever after, going to the beach with laptops, iPods, Kindles and smartphones" — all products of capitalism, all with the rapid obsolescence that capitalism demands. Nevertheless, the incorrigible McChesney hails "the glorious future of capitalism."
The book has many other problems. It is much too long. It spends vast amounts of space recounting ancient media history.
It refers to hoary authorities like Walter Lippmann and his essays written nearly 100 years ago. He dredges up Saul Alinsky, the community organizer, who insisted wrongly that "organized people can beat organized money."
The often-cited "wisdom of the founders" is illogical and wrongheaded in two key areas: the antediluvian Electoral College and the horribly malapportioned and hence terribly undemocratic Senate.
The Electoral College has given us four presidents who lost the popular vote. The most recent was Bush II, the worst president of all.
Essayist George Scialabba notes: "Half the U.S. population sends 18 senators to Washington while the other half sends 82. California, with a population of 38 million, has two senators, the least populous states combined have 40 senators for roughly the same population as California. Senators elected by 11 percent of the population can kill proposed legislation with a filibuster."
No wonder America is a frightfully conservative nation with scant chance for progressive legislation such as gun controls and "dream" reform of immigration.
The Internet has nothing to do with the vast ignorance of "the dumbest generation" with its appalling lack of elementary knowledge of politics, history, science and literature.
As journalism Professor Robert Jensen of the University of Texas, Austin, rightly says: "Information isn't knowledge and knowledge isn't wisdom."
Jake Highton is an emeritus journalism professor at the University of Nevada, Reno.

'Profession of Words Author Series' Welcomes Natalie Dykstra to The Clark
For Immediate Release
July 10, 2012
[Digital images available upon request]
Williamstown, MA—The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute will welcome author Natalie Dykstra on Sunday, July 22, at 3 pm, as part of the Clark's author series, The Profession of Words. Dykstra will present a free illustrated talk about the subject of her latest book, Clover Adams: A Gilded and Heartbreaking Life. A book signing will follow the lecture.
Marian Hooper Adams, known to her friends and family as "Clover," married soon-to-be-eminent American historian Henry Adams, the great-grandson of President John Adams, in 1872. Clover thrived in her role as an intimate of power brokers in Gilded Age Washington, where she was admired for her wit and taste by such luminaries as Henry James, H. H. Richardson, and General William Tecumseh Sherman. Clover so clearly possessed, as one friend wrote, "all she wanted, all this world could give."
Yet at the center of her story is a haunting mystery: Why did Clover, having begun in the spring of 1883 to capture her world vividly through photography, end her life less than three years later by drinking a chemical developer she used in the darkroom? In her new biography, Natalie Dykstra illuminates the life of a woman who has lingered in the shadow of her illustrious husband and untangles the complex, poignant—and universal—truths of her shining and impossible marriage.
Natalie Dykstra is associate professor of English at Hope College in Holland, MI. A Fellow of the Massachusetts Historical Society, she was awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship to work on Clover Adams. She lives in Waltham, MA.

From Tim Halperin
Upcoming Shows
From Tim Halperin
Authenticity. While sometimes difficult to define, you almost always know it when you see it. Case in point: Tim Halperin.
Halperin's distinctive voice, soulful piano vibe and acumen for writing original songs packed with raw emotion have catapulted him into the nation's musical consciousness as one of its brightest young singer/songwriters.
Halperin began work on his first full-length album in the fall of 2010. While working on the album, a friend encouraged him to audition for Season 10 of America's highest rated television show, American Idol. With a field of more than 115,000 hopefuls vying for a spot on the show, Halperin emerged as one of the Top 24, earning a spot on the live broadcast.
Tim's debut full-length CD 'Rise and Fall' released on September 27, 2011. It immediately rose to #1 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter Chart, and held that position for 4 days. 'Rise and Fall' also debuted at #14 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
PAHs and other toxic compounds; dioxins and furans
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a large group of chemical compounds consisting of two or more benzene rings joined together. Examples include napthalene (2 rings), phenanthrene/anthracene (3 rings), pyrene (4 rings) and one of the most studied, benzo[a]pyrene, has 5 rings. In ambient air they are found either as gases or associated with particles, produced from the incomplete combustion of carbon based fuels such as coal, oil, wood, gas, and petroleum fuels. Fossil-fueled power stations, industrial processes (e.g. aluminium production), domestic burning of fossil fuels and traffic, particularly in urban areas, are the main sources of PAHs in outdoor air. Cigarette smoke is an important source of PAHs in indoor air. Levels of individual PAHs are monitored in outdoor air, but they are always present with other PAHs as part of a complex mixture. Therefore, people are always exposed to a number of different PAHs, rather than single PAHs on their own.
Some PAHs have been shown to be toxic and/or carcinogenic (cancer-causing)in animals and this information is used to determine the risk to humans. For example, benozo[a]pyrene, benz[a]anthracene, dibenz[ah]anthracene are classified by the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) as 'probably carcinogenic to humans'. As PAHs can be inhaled into the lungs as gases or attached to particles, there is the risk of lung cancer. For example, increased incidence of lung cancer has been observed in men working in gas and coke production and aluminium refining who were exposed to high concentrations of PAH fumes over long periods of time.
Levels of PAHs in outdoor air are much lower than those encountered in occupational settings and there is no convincing evidence, as yet, to suggest that PAHs in outdoor air are a significant cause of lung cancer in the general population. Estimating the health effects due to PAHs in outdoor air is made difficult by cigarette smoking, which is a source of PAHs in itself, and which can obscure contributions from outdoor sources in population studies.

I recently attended a wonderful workshop on pollinators–these are the creatures who pollinate our flowers, and our crops – both fruit and vegetable. 85 per cent of flowering plants require an insect to move the pollen. Butterflies and bees are both pollinators but bees, however, are the most important ones. Bees actively collect and transport pollen. 80 per cent of the world's almond crop is dependent on bees.
Since bees are vital to our gardens, it is important to create an environment that is safe and attractive to them. Our garden design as well as very careful use of pesticides and herbicides can make our yards havens for bees. Include flowers with attractive color and fragrance. Bees are attracted to blue, yellow, purple, violet and white. Bees can not see the color red (red looks like black to them). Provide season long sources of pollen and nectar by growing flowers year round and including early and late season flowers to provide a food source. Mass your flowers. In a small area plant a mass of one flower; thus increasing visibility to the pollinator is making it easier for the bees to search for nectar. Include a wide variety of flowers to attract many different pollinators. If you have a vegetable garden, it is important to create a habitat close to your crops and gardens as small bees may fly less then 500 feet and bumble bees may not fly more than a mile. An abundance of different flowers will increase the kinds of bees in your gardens. Keeping at least three things blooming at all times is terrific. Use locally native plants to support your bees population. Unfortunately, some of our newest hybrids are bred for beauty and are not necessarily attractive to bees; many of the old fashioned flowers make wonderful bee lures. It is not hard to attract bees; if you plant what they like, you will hear the humming of happy bees. Additionally, providing a source of water in the garden is a good thing.
Aside from choosing your plants to attract bees, the gardener must also limit pesticide use in the garden. Our mantra should be less is best! One of the worst chemicals for bees is sevin. Keeping plants healthy helps them to repel insects and disease. If you have to spray a pesticide, spray late in the day when the bees are not out. Use a liquid form of a chemical instead of a dust. Check all the ingredients on the label to be sure you know what you are spraying.
Additional hints for a bee friendly garden involve a bit of an attitude adjustment for the gardener: develop a tolerance for weeds; learn to love less than perfect in the garden. Make your garden inviting to beneficial insects so they can help with any bad insects pests.
A few simple steps and we can encourage bees, butterflies, and other pollinators to call our gardens home; our world will be a better place for the humans too.
Thank you to Extension Agent Dani Carroll whose information was the inspiration for this blog.
This has been the strangest spring (and it is not officially over for three weeks). I might call it the spring that almost did not happen. It was chilly one day; then the monsoons struck, and now the heat and humidity have set in. Farmers shook their heads as they worked to get gardens plowed and crops in. For us home gardeners, we waited much later than usual to add summer color to our yards. Warm weather annuals are, for the most part tropical in nature, and are not really fond of wet cold earth. Hydrangeas are blooming about three weeks later than usual (although that is not always a bad thing as they were not hit by one of those freak late frosts that sometime happen). Our friends in the mid-west have endured terrible tragedies brought about by weather events. Hurricane forecasters say this will be a busy summer. But we who love our gardens and growing things will deal with whatever strange weather conditions come our way. We will be married to our hoses if late summer droughts come. If the weather is wet and humid, we will take care of plant diseases brought about by inclement conditions. And we will continue to smile.

When kept in portrait mode, Evo is doing much, much better, but still it has much less text visible (about 75% of what DROID can show)
Evo's software keyboard is a lot better that DROID's.
DROID bright screen packs more content (854x480) vs. Evo (800x480), but it seems not to matter, Evo is much more enjoyable as a browser and of course it is much faster.
My conclusion is this... for media consumers Evo is BETTER, for people like me who type a lot, DROID is still a preferable option.
I hope Motorola will make a future DROID with (in order of importance):
1) good physical keyboard
2) front facing camera for video conferencing
3) 4.4 inch screen
4) long battery life
5) screen 960x600 pixels, or even 1024x600 pixels

PEACE RIVER COUNTRY�What is the best route to take to get into the Peace River country?
You do not say whether you wish to go into Peace River with settler�s effects or traveling light to see the country. If the former, the Edmonton Athabasca route would be best; but if the latter I think the Cariboo Road leading out of Ashcroft, B. C., to Quesnell, thence to Fort George, would be the nicest way to go. From Quesnell, B. C., 227 miles; from Ashcroft to Fort George 110 miles by steamboat, thence by canoe to Giscomb Portage, 37 miles. Portage 3 miles into Mommit Lake (a portager with team lives at the Port age), thence into Crooked River, thence into Parsnip River, thence into Peace River�all downstream except from Quesnell, B. C. to Gitcomb Portage, 147 miles up Fraser River. There are two portages to make on the Peace; three, if the party are not good canoe men.
