Will there be a replay of this session available?
The Webinar session is posted online at fms.treas.gov/otcnet/events.html.
Is the Federal Reserve CashLink going to be decommissioned during this effort?
It has not been determined if or when Federal Reserve Bank CA$H-LINK will be decommissioned. This conversion to OTCnet does not apply to Federal Reserve Bank CA$H-LINK.
Does this only apply to CashLink II?
Yes, this conversion to OTCnet only applies to CA$HLINK II.
I do CashLink reporting for agencies in 3 cities, accepting their deposits at different branches. Will the TGA system to be able to work like the CashLink over distance through the state?
Yes, you can separate out your deposits in TGAnet to display the reporting from the 3 different cities similar to CashLink. Each city or depositing endpoint will have their own deposit ticket information that will be visible in TGAnet for your review and confirmation.
Besides reporting of deposits on CashLink II, We also report returned check items. Will we still do this on TGA Net?
Yes, TGAnet will report return checks (Debit Voucher).
Im a little confused; the BMS portion has not been created yet for the TGAnet?
The Bank Management Service (BMS) refers to reporting Bank Management expenses and income for the purposes of compensation to Financial Institutions. Bank Management will continue to be reported in CA$HLINK II, until conversion to BMS. Financial Institutions will be kept informed by the Bank Management Team about this conversion.
If we are using the TGAnet program and we need to enter the BMI information, will we have to continue the CashLink II program until the new BMS reporting program kicks in?
You will be getting more information regarding the new Bank Management Service in the months ahead. At this time, it should be understood that the process of reporting deposits is not directly linked to the process of reporting monthly expenses. However, banks will not be converted to the new Bank Management Service (BMS) until BMS is operational and your bank is fully converted to OTCnet. FMS will determine the timing of your banks migration to BMS. Note: BMS is scheduled to be implemented in November, 2011. Therefore, it is entirely possible that your bank will report deposits to TGANet or OTCNet and continue to report monthly expenses to CA$HLINK II.
Will we begin using BMS to report expenses as soon as we are enrolled in either TGAnet or OTCnet?If not, where will we report this information until BMS is available?
(See answer above.)
With respect to foreign checks, Will there be an alternate way to deposit foreign checks with this system?
TGAnet does have the capabilities to handle the deposit reporting for foreign checks. The presentment process will remain the same requiring agencies to mail their check to the published address in the Treasury Financial Manual.
Please send the checks to the following address:
Citibank Delaware
Global Check Collections
One Penns Way
New Castle, DE 19720
Attn: Chuck Butler
Citibank Delaware

Where can financial institution workers go for training for the TGA/OTCnet programs?
There currently is a Web based training environment for TGAnet that FIs can access for training. We also will have a WBT for OTCnet that will be available once OTCnet is in production. Please visit our TGAnet or OTCnet Web sites for more information.
Will there be any support provided to help get our depositors on line with us using the new TGA system instead of CashLink, or is this up to the Financial Institution?
Yes there will be support and FMS will work with your FI and the agencies to get them to implement TGAnet. We are in the middle of an aggressive outreach initiative to contact those agencies and convert them to the TGAnet or OTCnet application as soon as possible.
What is the cost to the agency that is not on TGAnet?
There is no cost to either the FI or the agency to implement TGAnet.
What is the deadline date for agencies to enroll in OTCnet?
All agencies and FIs must convert to OTCnet by Fall 2012. There will be no exceptions to this date.
If we are currently using the CashLink II and some of our depositors do not convert to TGAnet, will we have to utilize two systems until 2012?
Until all agencies are converted over to TGAnet or OTCnet, FIs may need to support the deposit reporting of TGA deposits through TGAnet and CashLink. We are actively working with agencies to convert over to TGAnet as soon as possible to prevent FIs from having to utilize two systems for an extended period of time.
We are a CashLink bank and our largest agency depositor is the Commissary and they do not plan to move to TGAnet- they are waiting for OTCnet, Will CashLink banks convert to OTCnet Feb/Mar 2011?
We are aware of DeCAs decision to delay implementing TGAnet and wait until the OTCnet application is in production. We are encouraging all FIs to convert over to TGAnet until 9/31/2010, as there is no negative impact or disadvantage in deciding to implement now instead of waiting for OTCnet. If you decide to wait until OTCnet then you can start in the March/April 2011 time period.
If I am an FI using CashLink II, can I assume my agency is not a TGAnet user?Is my conversion dependent on theirs?
That is a correct assumption if your FI is only servicing one agency. There could be FIs who are servicing several agencies who have a mixture of agencies on TGAnet and others still reporting through CashLink. After CashLink is decommissioned FIs will only be able to report deposits through the upgraded TGAnet application called OTCnet. Your conversion to TGAnet is independent of the agencys conversion if you decided to convert prior to the agency. However, you will have to convert at the same time as the agency if you are not on TGAnet prior to the time the agency intends to convert.
What equipment is needed to convert?
No equipment is needed to convert to TGAnet. The FI will need internet capabilities to access to the TGAnet web site.
So are you saying the financial institutions must be reporting the same way as the agency? If the agency is not converted to TGAnet will the FI still need to be reporting CashLink II? We have locations in many states and would not know they all converted.
Yes, the financial institutions must report the same way as the agency. This may require the FI to report two ways (TGAnet/OTCnet and CashLinkII) until all agencies for which the FI provides TGA bank services for convert from CashLink to OTCnet. We will include your bank which is a required part of the TGAnet enrollment process.
Yes, if the agency is not converted to TGAnet, the FI will need to continue deposit reporting in CashLink. The point we are emphasizing is that FIs need to take advantage of the window of opportunity to implement TGAnet and be proactive in positioning themselves for the impending change.
Should we enroll in TGAnet or OTCnet now?Is there a benefit to one over the other?
We encourage TGA banks to enroll in TGAnet before September 30, 2010 to get ahead of the rush that we anticipate in 2011. The advantage of converting to TGAnet now vs. waiting for OTCnet is that you will be automatically converted to OTCnet and will not have to endure a second conversion.
Cash Link users must convert to TGAnet by March or April 2011, when must we convert to TGAnet?
Cashlink users have a window of opportunity to convert to TGAnet through September 30, 2010. A moratorium on TGAnet implementations will take effect October 1, 2010. If Cashlink users do not convert to TGAnet by September 30, 2010, they must convert to OTCnet starting April 2011 but no later than Fall 2012.
What steps do we make to convert to TGAnet from Cash Link II?
TGA banks must contact the following FMS customer support offices which have staff prepared to guide you through the TGAnet conversion process:
What is the cost to agencies that are not on TGAnet?
There is no cost to TGA or ITGA banks for enrolling in or using the TGAnet system.
Is the BMS going to be available via OTCnet or is this a separate application?
The BMS is not going to be available through OTCnet. The BMS is a separate application and similar to the need for agencies and banks to convert from Cashlink II to a new system (OTCnet) for deposit reporting, banks will need to convert from Cashlink II to a new system (BMS) to perform monthly reporting of expenses.
Question, who should we contact as far as the TGA enrolment?
Agencies and TGA banks can contact the following FMS contacts for assistance with TGAnet enrollment:
We're a Cash Link TGA bank and our largest agency depositor is the commissary and they does not have plans to move to TGAnet. They're waiting for OTCnet. Will the Cash Link thing convert to OTCnet, February/March 2011?
It is possible for TGA banks to implement TGAnet by September 30, 2010, in advance of the agencies they service, and from a strategy perspective, the benefit to TGA banks is that you would not be subjected to a second conversion to OTCnet (the TGAnet to OTCnet conversion will be done via an automated tool), and are in the ready position for when the agency does convert to OTCnet. DeCA and other agencies that have not converted to TGAnet will begin to convert to OTCnet in the April/May 2011 timeframe, but no later than Fall 2012.
Next question, so far so for clarification, it's Cash Link II, it's not the same as TGAnet. And if were using Cash Link II, we do have to change to TGAnet, to then change again to OTCnet. As a FI, how will the customers who make the deposits know also to convert?
CashLink II is not the same as TGAnet. However they share one common element - deposit reporting functionality. Our modernization efforts are designed to eliminate duplicate systems and duplicative functionality. Because CashLink II is being decommissioned, which eliminates the deposit reporting functionality, agencies and supporting TGA banks must transition to the new system that will be the standard for deposit reporting for all OTC TGA/ITGA bank deposit activity. Its not entirely accurate to say that customers using CashLink II have to change to TGAnet, "to then change again to OTCnet." TGAnet customers must convert to OTCnet by 2011, and this conversion will be seamless to users. An automated tool will be used to transition all users to OTCnet electronically. While we welcome TGA banks that would be willing to proactively encourage their agency customers to convert to TGAnet by September 30, 2010 or OTCnet at the earliest opportunity starting April/May 2011, FMS is ultimately responsible for communicating with agencies and conducting outreach to inform agencies on the need to convert from legacy systems to the new end state systems.
Will the agency still be bringing in vouchers and monetary deposits to the financial institution and as they deal with Cash Link?
Agencies will bring in a "deposit ticket" along with the physical deposit to the TGA bank, similar to what they do as a CashLink II user. TGAnet (and OTCnet) eliminate the paper based SF 215 voucher. The deposit reporting system will be web based and agencies will print out a deposit ticket to present along with the physical deposit to TGA banks.
I do CashLink reporting for agencies in three cities accepting a deposit at different branches. Will the TGAnet system be able to work like the CashLink II system over distance through States?
The TGAnet as well as the OTCnet system (once TGAnet is merged and becomes OTCnet) are capable of processing multiple deposits in any State or country and from multiple locations. This will be supported by reporting for deposit activity by location.
If we are currently using Cash Link II and some of our depositors do convert to TGAnet, will we have to utilize two systems until 2012?
FMS is aggressively working with agencies to instill a sense of urgency to convert to TGAnet by September 30, 2010 or to OTCnet by the Fall of 2012. We do have a challenge to work with agencies, to convert all agencies and TGA banks currently relying on CashLink II for deposit reporting to OTCnet by 2012. But until all agencies are converted to OTCnet, a TGA bank may encounter the need to perform deposit reporting in two systems.
So we can be enrolled in TGAnet, but still use Cash Link II or will we use whichever system the agency is enrolled in, if so, how do we handle our monthly expense reporting if we are using two systems?
There will be a transitional period if you will, where we'll have some of our TGA banks on both systems because they are supporting customers who are doing deposit reporting in both systems. FMS is aggressively working with agencies to instill a sense of urgency to convert to TGAnet by September 30, 2010 or to OTCnet by the Fall of 2012. But until all agencies are converted to OTCnet, a TGA bank may encounter the need to perform deposit reporting in two systems.
How will the banks know that the agency is now involved in TGA net?Will it be because they will be using the new deposit slip rather than the (SF 215)?
The banks will know they have an agency customer that is a TGAnet agency because there will be coordination with the supporting TGA bank during the conversion process. Agency conversion personnel from Citibank, the Financial Agent designated by FMS to serve as the OTC channel service provider, will contact the supporting TGA bank because specific bank and account information is needed to properly set up the agency in TGAnet. The agency conversion process requires outreach to the supporting TGA bank.
Will there be any technical information available or discussed, relating to how the transition should be implemented?
The TGAnet functionality of the OTCnet system is very close to how TGAnet works today and the look and feel of the OTCnet system is also very close to TGAnet. With the transition being done through an automated tool, we are expecting a seamless transition affecting FIs and Agencies that convert from TGAnet to OTCnet. More information will be forthcoming as we set a date for the transition. As for the technical information, we are working on putting the information together and it will be posted to the OTCnet Web site soon.
Where do we locate technical instructions on converting from CashLink to TGAnet?
If you are interested in converting from CashLink to TGAnet, please contact FMS to express your interests. FMS will provide you with the basic information to get you started and put you in contact with the Citibank Deployment Team that will work with you to get all the necessary information to set you up and convert to TGAnet. It is a step by step process and they will help you through the entire process.
Will there be any changes to the current SF 215 and SF 5515 and any other forms once we change to TGAnet and onto the OTCnet?
No changes are planned for either SF 215 or SF 5515 reports in the first release of OTCnet. Down the road there may be changes, but we are currently not aware of any changes to these two reports. For forms, there will be changes in subsequent releases of OTCnet, but those have not been fully defined yet.

Background Checks May Be Good Idea
April 8, 2013
For a few days there was speculation Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum was murdered last week because of his crackdown on illegal drug activit....
I did not know that everyone with a "mental illness" was a criminal.
If so, please give every one of West Virginia's public officials a mental evaluation.
We would all hate to have criminal activity at any level of government.
"Is that a picture of a butterfly or is it a picture of a flying piece of meat?".... OH DEAR!

This is an easy one. It is illegal for anyone who has been adjudicated mentally unstable to purchase a firearm. The current background check system checks for that. It's misinformation like this that leads to misguided legislation. Either that or pure idiocy.

10 to one says the shooter was taking prescribed drugs...How will another background check stop this? More gun laws will lead to more gun laws will lead to no guns allowed in the hands of anyone not in the Govt. Cuba 1957. Mr. Martinez was there. Listen to what he says if you want the truth. So many sheep will be slaughtered. But in the end the goal will be one... The govt. will be safe from the peoples guns.

Ronald Reagan has been quoted over and over again about how he supported much stricter gun laws. Reagan could not get elected today for anything. The extremists would call RR a liberal!

Maynard could get the death penalty for his heinous crime.
Do you think a pizzant gun law would have stopped him from getting a weapon if the DEATH PENALTY did not dissuade him??

Do you really believe that a person's medical history should be in the public domain. It would have to be to be part of any background check. Everyone that kills someone is insane, it is just a matter of degrees as to how insane. Sheriff Crum's murder, if anything,was a copycat murder. Serious and constant enforcement of the gun laws we have will solve the problem. How about 20 years imprisonment for even being in possession of a gun, without a permit, while committing any crime, and knock off five years if you do have a permit.

We know and perform lots of tuning stuff on our databases, mainly on primary side.
but the set of queries running on standby databases (like to use for reporting purpose) are totally different from one running at primary.
so How can we tune out our Standby DB to perform well ?
CKPT wrote:Hi CKPT,
Can you describe your question more in detail?
First thing is standby is always image copy of primary database, if you even perform gather stats the redo will be generated and the redo will be applied on standby database. So there will be execution plan will be same. I never tested it but as a concept of standby how it works.
besides if any report is running on primary for 2 minutes, and the same query running on standby for 5 minutes or 10 minutes.
You have to see
1) whether SGA settings are same?
2) how is DISK I/O, How storage is responsing?
3) Whether hardware, cores, processors are same?
If these all are same as primary and then i dont think you may have any performance issues for Read-Only queries. Of course for first time may be Hard parsing will be taken place which can cause Physical I/O's. If it is daily running report for several times a day, then if your buffer cache is capable of such data then of course you can have good response time.
So it depends on configurations also.

I f I understand the question correctly there's a white paper on this :

Spanish version of Why Should Young Women Consider a Career in Information Technology? This card gives adults talking points and additional resources for a conversation with their daughters and/or other young people. The main message is that IT offers meaningful work, security and high salaries with a bachelor's degree, and flexibility and variety. Information is provided to address these specific questions: What should you tell a young woman about a career in IT? How can a young woman prepare now for a career in IT?
A program to strengthen and diversify the IT pipeline though outreach to middle schools. Using the box, IT professionals customize and deliver a classroom presentation and engage youth in hands-on activities that inspire and inform them about opportunities in IT.
Diverse work teams can improve innovation, problem-solving, and productivity. Patenting is one important measure of recognized and rewarded innovation efforts in IT, but female patenting rates are quite low. A few companies have started patenting or innovation communities to increase women's participation. In order to reap the benefits of diverse innovation, two companies implement "inventor learning communities" to increase female participation in innovation and patenting.
Educational software can increase students' motivation, interest, and academic achievement in science and math. To do so, it must be selected and utilized properly to avoid gender bias. A sample tool for guiding software selection is provided.
Engage students not already drawn to computing by creating academic and social environments where these students feel like they belong. Students respond positively to solving real-life problems that draw on their existing knowledge and interests and that involve collaboration in hands-on projects. In this easy-to-implement classroom activity, individual LEGOS® bricks are used to express a special-purpose programming language, allowing students to kinetically approach concepts and skills in computing in a non-intimidating fashion.
Collaborative learning can improve retention rates, critical thinking, appreciation of diversity, and development of social and professional skills. When implementing collaborative learning, match students roughly according to experience levels and make sure to give students opportunities to work together for both graded and un-graded assignments. Peer-led team learning in computer science allows students to work together with a classmate or more advanced peer directing group exercises and discussion. Courses that have utilized PLTL boast lower course drop rates and higher grades.
Institutional barriers (IBs) are policies, procedures, or situations that systematically disadvantage certain groups of people. IBs exist in any majority-minority group situation. When an initial population is fairly similar (e.g., in male-dominated professions), systems naturally emerge to meet the needs of this population. If these systems do not change with the times, they can inhibit the success of new members with different needs. IBs often seem natural or "just the way things are around here."
A report on the importance of IT to our future, and why women's participation matters.
This report includes data about IT jobs and computer science education, disaggregated by state and congressional district.
Or, use the interactive map to look at education and jobs in your area.
This paper presents a systemic change model of undergraduate computing for accomplishing gender parity. Rather than view women as needing to be modified or repaired to fit the system, this model advocates changing the system to fit the needs of a wider range of students. Changing the system is a more sustainable approach to creating gender parity than providing extra support to students with less experience or background or students who are less likely to feel that people like themselves belong in computing.

A car is touring area schools to give a powerful messageFargo, ND (WDAY TV)-- Sometimes, words are not enough. And in the case of drunk driving, and a family lost too soon, it is "the car."
By: Kevin Wallevand, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV)-- Sometimes, words are not enough. And in the case of drunk driving, and a family lost too soon, it is "the car."
Today, law enforcement, Triple-A, and members of the Deutscher family, unveiled the car from that deadly June day in 2012.
When Wyatt Klein drove drunk the wrong way down I-94 and crashed into the Deutschers, he killed three, and and unborn baby. Klein also died.
The car is now touring area schools.
Robyn Litke Sall- Safe Communities Coalition: "This is a senseless, preventable tragedy."
There is something so unsettling, disturbing about this, and that is exactly what relatives of the Deutschers and law enforcement hope you feel when you see what is left of the car. So crushed, it looked like an accordion. The car that Aaron, Allison, Brielle and unborn baby Deutscher died in--when a drunk driver crashed head on into them. Brielle's crushed car seat, still in the suv. Her grandpa Lynn Mickeslon drove up today, and saw this car, even though he'd seen it before.
Lynn Mickelson- Allison's Father: "I choked up today, when I drove up here today and looked at it, I did."
The mobile unit, which AAA helped fund, will now hit area high schools, bringing with it, a sobering message.
Sall: "In ND in 2012, there were 77 crashes that ended 87 lives."
And the family hopes that as this trailer makes its way down the highway to area schools, people will notice this on the side of the trailer what the drunk driver consumed that night, before getting in the car and what the end result was.
Mickelson: "Makes me sick, makes me sick that it is still happening, people are not getting the message."
It is just a car. But the message is powerful. In a split second, lives lost senselessly, and loved ones now left to carry on their story in hopes someone will listen, enough to save a life.
Area schools are being urged to work with police to get the mobile car display to their town.

Alpacas, spinning wheels, and a sheep named Ferdie!
April 26, 2012
This week's guest blogger is kind of in my neck of the woods! Meet Kris of Green Mountain Spinning Wheels! Before you get started, would you be a doll and visit her facebook page and show her some "like" love;) www.facebook.com/pages/Green-Mountain-Spinning-Wheels/134939456557904
You're the best! And don't forget, tell us what you think.. I love love love reading your comments!
Hi, I'm Kris Francoeur of Green Mountain Spinning Wheels. My family has a small herd of fiber alpacas, a ram named Ferdie, a small flock of chickens, our dog and cat, and lives in beautiful Addison County, Vermont. The alpacas came to live with us more than 8 years ago in the middle of a very cold and snowy January. That spring, we sheared them for the first time, and I thought I'd be able to spin all of their fiber with my trusty drop spindle. If I was still just using a drop spindle, I would still be spinning the fiber from that first shearing! Afraid we would be overrun with fiber, Paul bought me an inexpensive spinning wheel. Within a couple months, Paul (a cabinet maker and fine woodworker) decided he was going to make me a wooden spinning wheel. Over the next months, Paul researched and built several wheels. Once we had a design we liked, we had other spinners test it and then worked hard at finding local materials for the entire wheel. We then began to sell our wheels, spinning accessories, and fiber on our website www.greenmountainspinningwheels.com, as well as selling our handspun yarn and knitted goods through farmers' markets. To this day, it is still a completely family business – Paul makes the wooden products, we all care for the animals, the kids help with the website and marketing, and I handle most of the fiber business. We love being able to run our business from home, and have the luxury and fun of watching our farm animals in their lives — Ferdie can make anyone laugh with his antics, and he is a huge Jimi Hendrix fan!
After I got really good at spinning our alpaca fiber, I wanted to try spinning silk with it, and came across the Darn Good Yarn site. One of my favorite things to do is to spin one bobbin full of my alpaca or alpaca/wool fiber and ply it with DGY sari ribbons or yarn. To spin a sari ribbon/alpaca yarn, you need to:
- Decide on which sari ribbons you want to use – for this project I chose silver and gold ribbons. I used two skeins of ribbons for the scarf shown. You could also use the silk yarn.
- Decide which alpaca or alpaca/wool rovings compliment the silk. For the silver, I used a mixed fiber batt (alpaca, wool, kid mohair), and for the gold I used a dark brown suri/huacaya alpaca blend.
- Spin the rovings into a single ply – for this project I spun the rovings clockwise. Once the bobbin is full, let it sit overnight to set the twist.
- Ply the sari ribbon with the ply of alpaca – spinning them counterclockwise.
- Once all has been spun into two-ply ribbon/alpaca yarn, let it sit overnight again.
- Knit with it! For the scarf shown:
- Using size 13 needles, cast on 8 stitches.
- Knit 2, Purl 2 ribbing for 4 rows.
- Knit all additional rows until the scarf is the desired length.
- Bind off, and tuck in all ends. (Note, sometimes I add K2P2 ribbing at the end as well – it depends on my mood!)
- Wear it, and proudly let everyone know that you both helped reduce waste silk from being thrown away, and used local fibers!
So, after you've completed that project, here are 10 facts about us:
- After you become comfortable with spinning, it is so relaxing, it can be meditative. At first I stunk at spinning, but after a tutorial with a friend, it has become a daily and treasured part of my life.
- I love to knit – I have knitting in my purse or with me at all times. I knit through baseball games, meetings, and just riding in the car. I try to crochet, but I have to think really hard about it while crocheting, so it isn't as much fun for me.
- Our kids are amazing – one is a chef at an outstanding local restaurant, one is the manager of an organic flower farm in Burlington, one is studying conservation in college and wants to be a homesteader, and one still lives full-time at home and is a fabulous athlete and artist and makes most of our color choices for us.
- Addison County is a great place to live – farms are everywhere, no one minds being behind a tractor on the highway, and instead of thinking that you're crazy for wanting to start a spinning wheel business, people ask how they can help.
- Paul can build anything, or fix anything, and when he does, the "thing" looks good and works well.
- Wet alpacas and sheep smell bad.
- Chickens, sheep and alpacas are happy living together.
- Alpacas naturally form a guard-duty at night, rotating through the herd, with one keeping watch over the others.
- We were thrilled to recently learn that Queen Victoria loved to spin.
10. Shearing day makes us all dirty, smelly, and itchy, but we love being together as a family for the process – some of our kids' friends now join us for the laughter and the sense of accomplishment.
We love visitors to our website at www.greenmountainspinningwheels.com or on our facebook page www.facebook.com/pages/Green-Mountain-Spinning-Wheels/134939456557904 — we'd love to hear about your adventures in spinning or crafting in general. Thanks for letting us share your day!

How cool that the two of you know each other like this! It's really wonderful to see the sharing of knowledge, etc.
I enjoyed reading more about how you got started, Kris!
SO cool! I am longing to learn how to spin!!
I LOVE IT! We have a small alpaca herd, & I just sent our fiber off to three different mills in the past two days for processing.(they all do different parts of the fiber-1st, 2nds, & 3rds). I did send DGY's silk thrumbs to add to some of the fiber, but after reading this, I wish I would have gotten some sari silk ribbon to add-next year. Learning to spin is on my bucket list. Thanks for writing such a great article. Alpaca fiber is so much fun to work with and it feels so soft! It's all good, back to nature raising your animals, green harvesting of their fiber, processing it, helping other small businesses to survive, and selling your special final product. GREAT!

By NANCY HEISER
Imagine steamed pork buns that rival those at an excellent dim sum spot in a large city but right here in Maine. Maybe those soft, sweet, meat-filled, edible pillows already dance in your head, like sugarplums.
Cara Stadler opened Tao in June after building her culinary resume with restaurateurs in Beijing, Shanghai and France.
Gordon Chibroski/Staff Photographer
22 Pleasant St., Brunswick. 725-9002; tao-maine.com
**** 1//2
HOURS: 5 p.m. to close Tuesday to Saturday. Tao will close for vacation from Jan. 29 to Feb. 12.
CREDIT CARDS: Mastercard, Visa and Discover
PRICE RANGE: $5.80 to $15.80 for small plates meant to be shared
VEGETARIAN: Yes
GLUTEN-FREE: Yes
KIDS: Welcome
RESERVATIONS: Yes; strongly suggested on weekends
BAR: Full. Intriguing wine list and specialty drinks, beer, plum wine, sake
WHEELCHAIR ACCESS: Yes
BOTTOM LINE: Uncommon food prepared expertly, with special attention to new and complementary flavors, textures and visuals. The results are surprising and enticing. A creative kitchen melds the best of Far East seasonings and food with local ingredients when possible, and seldom gets it wrong.
Ratings follow this scale and take into consideration food, atmosphere, service and value:
* Poor **Fair ***Good ****Excellent *****Extraordinary.
The Maine Sunday Telegram visits an establishment twice if the first dining experience was unsatisfactory. The reviewer dines anonymously.
That's no illusion. That's Grandma Tang's roast pork buns ($6.80 for three), arriving hot and steamy in a bamboo basket at Tao in Brunswick. And the meat filling happens to be elevated to extra tenderness by 12 hours of sous vide preparation.
The pork bun is one of perhaps two dishes on Tao's constantly changing menu that chef Cara Stadler doesn't swap out. She is constantly modifying and enhancing her fare, seeking to fuse textures and flavors and Maine items when possible into harmonious small plates. She succeeds admirably.
Similar to the pork buns was the braised lamb tongue, but the latter meat is seasoned with the Middle East-influenced spices of the Uyghur people (of Xinjiang, a northwest region in China) and served in folded steamed pillows of dough. They were, in a word, fabulous ($9.60).
Tom yum soup was no afterthought, but a bowl of pure pleasure: Big chunks of Thai eggplant, chicken, potato and mushroom in a coconut milk-based broth poured ceremoniously over the ingredients at the table ($10.80, easily shared).
Tao also offers plenty of options from the sea. Maine diver scallops came with a caramelized golden crust atop a foamy Meyer lemon and white wine sabayon. Dashi-braised endive was the savory side with this delicate, slightly sweet and jewel-like dish ($13.80).
The kitchen gussied up modest salt cod by using it in a brandade ($9.80), which came as croquettes with pureed celeriac as part of the plush filling. Creme fraiche accompanied, the dish a nod to the chef's time in France as a student at Le Cordon Bleu.
Long (very long) green beans sauteed with Sichuan pepper and minced pork (expect a little grease) made a crunchy and interesting side that four of us shared ($6.80).
Our December meal started off with a distinctive beet yuzu martini (yuzu is a Far Eastern citrus fruit), a dark-red stunner. The sour sugar rim gave way to soft beet flavor, hints of Thai basil and lemon, and lots of forward gin.
A portion of tender short rib ($14.80) in a brown sauce -- served with baby bok choy and flat noodles as wide as lasagna -- was a cold-weather winner made special with the addition of the almost-firm "tea egg," its delicate white color tinged golden from steeping. The surprisingly effective grace note gave the dish a hint of herbal sweetness.
Tao's many dishes in sequence -- most are served one at a time -- take you down new and intriguing roads. If you're going to savor several, give yourself time at the table. It you want to go light, that works too. Perhaps have a bowl of tangy Asian slaw ($5.80; it easily serves two) and the soup or short rib, and you'll be plenty satisfied. Because nothing here is ordinary, you can't go wrong.
Something about our meal was clarifying. It was as if the chef had taken the best thinking about current cuisine -- top-notch seasonal ingredients, new ethnic touches, garnishing details, tasting plates, an emphasis on local fare -- and melded it into a new concept with an Asian flair. The result was sublime dishes that tasted as if they were already beloved classics.
Even the pineapple cake ($6.80) was a new riff on the old, again demonstrating how Tao makes an ordinary dish new and exciting. In this instance, a five-spice caramel sauce glazed the classic cake served warmed, with crispy edges and a rich cakey interior. Coconut gelato was the perfect topper.
Stadler, who opened Tao in June in partnership with her mother, Cecile, has an impressive culinary background working with renowned restaurateurs in Beijing, Shanghai and France.
Tao's atmosphere is a stylish and attractive combination of contemporary decor with graceful Asian touches. The entry has comfortable low sofas, and the bar is set at a striking angle near the kitchen. On the holiday weekend we visited, our server said she wasn't a regular, and there were a few details on the menu about which she wasn't well versed. But other than that, service was gracious and careful from phone reservation to exit.
In a recent 2012 roundup article, New York Times restaurant reviewer Pete Wells wrote, "Arguing about whether cuisine can be art is fruitless, but without question great restaurants have the same power to reshape our perceptions."
That's Tao. I've felt that way on every visit, and I've been four times. With a few exceptions, each dish is like encountering a new miniature work of art.
I find it remarkable that this well-traveled, 25-year-old chef is turning out such uncommon food after just six months in business.

John or HJ -
Do you see any potential problem if I were to use 1" PEX for the main return and supplies lines instead of copper? This would be plumbed in a 2 pipe reverse return as John suggested. I have a very low basement ceiling so any space I can save is a plus.
On a side note, I think the 2 pipe system is the best for me. My radiators have independant shut off valves so a monoflow setup would not work if one radiator was closed. I'm also thinking of installing thermostatic valves for the radiators on the 2nd floor to control temperature up there. I cannot use these with a monoflow system.
Thanks again for the great advice.

Big Bad Wood
Go Home Goat
THURSDAYS at 9P
Big Bad Wood: Go Home Goat
Brian's tree cutting company lets go of a crew member named Goat after he shows up drunk.
I worked as a tree climber on a 5 man crew during the 1970s. We didn't have bucket trucks, cranes or intercomms. Every person on our crew was a climber, a ground man and a driver. At the end of a job we all manned rakes and left the property cleaner than it was before we arrived. We free climbed everything. We worked in the heat, the cold and the rain. We didn't work in thunder and lightning storms. These guys are a bunch of clowns. I wouldn't work with any of them. They give REAL tree people a bad name. "Big Bad Wood" Begone!
I know this tree company I wouldn't let them on my property before and I wouldn't let them on my property now...bunch of friggen idots from the owner to the sweeper
Wesley covered most of what I would say, and he is right. This show will be nothing more than another Axemen, with a bunch of idiots running around. Scripted and misleading, it is obvious you picked less than stellar outfits to film. Please realize that any attempt to do "something crazy" will be reported to OSHA. Your producers may not be subject to fines, but those so called tree services will.
My name is Wesley Hopper, I am with Urban Forestry in Memphis, TN. The program you are airing "Big Bad Wood" misrepresents the true professionals in our industry. You are showing guys arriving at a job site drunk and their bosses beating them up and the other crews claiming to be cowboys of the trade and showing disregard for other's property. I am surprised that National Geographic would rather show programs rated for the America's Funniest Home Video with characters that come from the Maury Show rather than running a show that really depict the true professionals in our industry. We reach out to our public to hire true professionals and all you have done is "B" rate us. I represent the International Society of Arboriculture as an active board member, as well as other tree boards. I will gain the support of others within our organization to participate in my protest to stop this program, which is not any better than the Discovery Channel's show "New Saw for Hire" which was terminated due to their lack of integrity. Please maintain National Geographic's standard and take this program off of the air.

@Scott Swearinger laugh a bit....the company knows what they are doing along with the producers....get a grip...no pun intended....lol...lol....
@corinne McGrory @Scott Swearinger
Sorry but safety is not a laughing matter..how would you like it if they dropped a tree on your house, or car or family member?

Reno >Lodging > Sands Regency Hotel And Casino
345 North Arlington Ave, Reno, NV | Directions 8950139.527952 -119.819133
Mon-Fri 9am-5pm
Neighborhoods: Downtown
Price is great, wonderful staff – Rooms are big and clean lots of towels and great maid service.. Wish they had coffee in rooms. Room service is $4. a cup , Mels diner servers great Breakfast.. Good steak in hotel also. Had little trouble with handycapped getting to Cribbage room, lift was broke, but, they helped us lift her. So all in all serves was wonderful.
Love the Sands! – I've been going to Reno for the last 13 years and I allmost allways stay at the Sands. The Sands has always been the best value around with big rooms costing about $40 less than some of the bigger hotels. All the employees there are friendly and I've never had too long a wait at check in. They have a pretty good comp system that makes it pretty easy to get at least a free meal during your stay. The cocktail service is pretty good and they even have a tequila bar where you can get a real top shelf margarita for only $3.00. The only drawback to the Sands is it's right next to the train tracks. The Sands is also a few blocks off of the main strip but its only a short walk and the streets seem to be pretty safe even at night.

DSU President Says Audit Issues Being Worked OnBISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Dickinson State University is taking numerous steps to address academic integrity issues recently identified by state auditors, the school's president said.
By: Associated Press,
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Dickinson State University is taking numerous steps to address academic integrity issues recently identified by state auditors, the school's president said.
D.C. Coston on Tuesday told state lawmakers that changes include new leaders, including the school's registrar, vice president of academic affairs and three department chairs. The school's enrollment, financial aid and marketing efforts have been reorganized, he said, and a task force is reviewing tuition, fees and waivers. The university also is studying its spending, Coston said.
"We're already seeing a dramatic improvement in a number of areas," Coston told members of the Legislative Audit and Fiscal Review Committee.
Coston became president in January after his predecessor, Richard McCallum, was fired over inflated enrollment figures. Problems that have been publicly identified since include the awarding of hundreds of degrees to Chinese students who didn't earn them, the awarding of questionable scholarships and tuition waivers, and questionable spending on social events.
Coston said the university is "taking very seriously" the recommendations in the report by the North Dakota state auditor's office. Some problem areas will be addressed quickly but others will take more time, he said. The university plans to develop a timeline and provide regular reports, at the request of the state university system chancellor, Bill Goetz, Coston said.
Gordy Smith, an audit manager at the state auditor's office, also said it also is typical for his office to do a follow up 1½ to 2 years after an audit to see what progress was made in addressing the recommendations.
Legislators expressed concerns that similar problems might exist at the state's other colleges and universities. Goetz said Dickinson State's audit will be given to each campus president and time will be spent at this week's Cabinet meeting discussing it. The university system would like to add more internal auditors and a compliance officer, he said.

Your wedding is big day and it can be a big expense. If you want to have an elegant wedding but don't want to break the bank, here are a few simple tips to put your mind and wallet at ease.
Your guest list
One of the easiest ways to save money when planning your wedding is limiting your guest list. A small wedding can be just as elegant as a big, grand affair. Invite only family, close friends and the wedding party for an intimate party. The rest of your guest list can receive an elegant wedding announcement. Don't fret about sending a wedding announcement. It is perfectly acceptable to send an announcement. Your decision to have a small wedding should be respected by everyone.
Typical wedding invitations can run anywhere from $3-$5 per invitations to beyond $20. Fancy folds, fonts and printing can cause these costs to add up quickly. But there is an inexpensive answer. Consider do-it-yourself wedding kits. Many, many brides have saved and shined with do-it-yourself wedding invitations. These kits are elegant and can be personalized by you for a special touch. DIY wedding kits are the answer if you're interested in saving money. Most kits include the wedding invitation, save the date card and reply cards, so all you need is your personal touch and you're on your way.
Your wedding reception can be the most costly part of your wedding day. But there are many ways you can save and still have an elegant reception. Consider sending your wedding invitations for a 'cocktail reception.' This indicates to your guests that you will be serving cocktails and light snacks, but not dinner. This is a great way to mingle and enjoy your guests company, but still save on dinner costs. Another money saver can be celebrating your reception earlier in the day. If you've scheduled your ceremony for the morning, send your guests a wedding brunch invitation or even a wedding lunch invitation. Since venues and caterers are busiest in the evening, you may be able to negotiate a better rate for an off-time event.
Lunches and brunches will also save you on bar costs, since many won't be drinking in the morning or afternoon. A lunch or brunch event can easily sneak by with champagne as the only alcoholic beverage. You can also save money on an evening reception bar by limiting what you are serving. Many wedding receptions offer only beer, wine, champagne and soft drinks for guests. Save money and skip the liquor; your guests will still enjoy themselves.
While there are no 'small' details when it comes to your wedding, you can save money at every turn. Many brides have turned to E-bay or a consignment shop to save on their wedding dress. Your centerpieces can be as simple as Gerber Daisy with a floating candle in a low vessel. And often, photography students can photograph your wedding – and create some amazing photos – for much less. If all else fails, ask your vendors for a discount.
There are tons of ways to save and still make an elegant impact. Ask your friends and family who they can recommend, you just might find a great deal where you least expect it. Most of all, when it's all said and done, make sure you have a great time and enjoy your big day.

They always promise transparency, but then they always lie. A person with no known history isn´t transparent.

There is an element of ´transparency´ in this regime. It is their utter contempt for anyone who requests actual transparency.Asking hard questions makes you racist, crazy,dangerous, 40 pounds overweight and endowed with no dental history or GED.

Perhaps our greatest President, Abraham Lincoln, is quoted as saying:"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.Barack Obama, touted to really be our greatest president, may achieve that status using an updated version of Lincoln´s maxim:"You can fool all the people some of the time, and most of the people most of the time, if you lie to the people all of the time."Transparency requires truth. Secrecy demands lies.Obama lies.

text: Sounds like the aquastat is bad. Basically, it's a temperature controlled set of switches. It should be easy to check with a multimeter. If the switches are opening and closing when they should, then the controller is suspect. Don't know how sophisticated the control on that is, but many of the older ones are pretty simplistic.
