City Council proposed a 1-mill real estate tax hike Thursday night and passed the first reading of the 2013 $21 million budget.
Council President Bill Hall and others not relishing the increase put the proposed millage increase into perspective.
"We started with a fear of 3- or 4-mill increases, so getting down to a 1-mill increase, I think we did a good job," he said.

Councilwoman Liz Miele examines the proposed budget on Thursday night.
In order to balance the budget and leave the city with what Hall described as a "reasonable" fund balance, council proposed a tax rate of 11.58 mills.
That's $100 more per year for a household assessed at $100,000.
The hike is subject to change by next Thursday's second reading of the proposed budget.
While Councilman Randall J. Allison considered it an incremental increase, he also said the city government can't continue to rely on the taxpayer, particularly when 40 percent of the properties in the city remain tax-exempt.
Councilman Jonathan Williamson noted the city either can increase taxes, which none of the council members want, or cut services.
"We've reduced the fat that existed 10 years ago and we're cutting meat now," he said.
The budget, as proposed, reduces the police force by three officers and the Streets and Parks Department by two employees.
Williamson said the only solution to continuing to raise taxes and cut essential personnel is a structural change at a state and federal level, particularly with costs associated with increased health care and pensions.
"We're bailing a sinking ship," he said. "Do we continue to cut services we need and value, or raise taxes - that we hate."
Two of the biggest adjustments voted on at the meeting were to:
Cut $97,000 out of the projected proceeds of a pending sale of a parking lot on Mulberry Street at Via Bella, reducing the proceeds to $3,000, and
Add $50,000 to pay for an information technology position.
A developer has offered the city $250,000 for the parking lot, on which it wants to build a senior citizen housing apartment complex.
However, the city has opted to take a conservative route and is basing its projections on a sale price of $100,000, Williamson said.
The sale of the property may not happen this fall; therefore, the city removed the bulk of the sale price from its expected revenues.
William E. Nichols Jr., director of finance, estimated it will cost $25,000 more to pay for the information technology worker's benefits and equipment.
"I will come back next week with the estimate on additional costs and ways to fund the position and look at our allocation of revenues for that from the budget," he said.
Councilman N. Clifford "Skip" Smith said cities face financial distress because the state ranks among the highest net corporate income tax rates in the nation.
"It's something cities can't control," he said.
Cuts and additions
Council voted to reduce the city clerk's health care expense by $10,000 because she opted out of the insurance, choosing instead to use her husband's insurance, Nichols said.
It created a separate natural gas fee budget by taking money out of the capital budget in order to better monitor income arriving in the account.
For instance, $600,000 has been proposed for Reach Road improvements and $100,000 will be put into the housing projects at the former Brodart warehouse on Memorial Avenue, Nichols said.
Council took money out of the litigation line item in Mayor Gabriel J. Campana's budget. It took $70,000 out of Campana's litigation and added $50,000 into council's legislative contingency budget. The city can anticipate arbitration with the police union, because the union's contract ends Dec. 31.
The city anticipates paying legal services and having potential costs incurred by whatever the arbitration award is.
Council took $50,000 from a $330,000 budgeted for flood levee certification and will move it into the account set up from the gas fee, Nichols said.
"Essentially, council created a gas fee account that pays for $250,000 worth of paving streets, $50,000 for the levee recertification and $50,000 for the Reach Road project," he said.
Council took out a $75,000 transfer in the capital projects budget and added $100,000 to consultant services that are within the fiscal officer's budget, Nichols said.
"The net effect is an increase by $25,000," he said.
Another proposed change, but one not voted on, focused on Campana's request to restructure city debt.
The city will look at whether it gets more in wage, mercantile and business privilege taxes next year, which it expects to, Nichols said. It will take $30,000 of that as a funding strategy to save money and pay down the principle of that debt.
"If we get more, that percentage will be used to reduce the amount of time we 'kick the can' down the road," Hall said.
Council meets at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 13.

A quick glance at Peanut reveals not the biggest of dogs, nor the most intimidating of stares, but a doe-eyed – did we say adorable? – dachshund-terrier mix.
But this little pooch found herself in some big trouble last October, when a scuffle with a wild skunk left her buried alive – and almost dead.
Now, almost a year later, Peanut is the 2012 recipient of the Veterinary Pet Insurance Hambone Award, which honors the most unusual pet insurance claims of the year. (The accolade itself is named after a VPI-insured dog who ate an entire Thanksgiving ham while stuck in a walk-in refrigerator.)
While Peanut has something to celebrate now, there was nothing happy about the situation that followed when Keith and Christy Wolfram of Sicklerville, N.J., couldn't find their canine companion. Peanut, who seldom shies away from a little face time with wildlife, had clashed with a skunk and slipped beneath the deck in the backyard. The Wolframs then called the local fire department.
But by 2:30 a.m., first-responders from the Winslow Township Fire Department apologized to the couple: They just couldn't find Peanut.
Christy Wolfram wasn't ready to give up hope, so she grabbed a shovel and started digging.
"When the firefighters saw Christy continue to dig, one of them decided to take a last look," recalls Keith Wolfram, according to a press release. And then there was a sign: "I remember him shouting, 'I see her paw!' and my heart just sank."
Once Peanut was recovered, "She was barely moving," he adds. "I couldn't believe she was alive."
The firefighters administered oxygen to Peanut, and the couple rushed their dog, barely breathing and smelling of skunk musk, to an animal emergency facility, where she was treated for hypothermia. Less than two weeks later, she had made a full recovery.
And even better: Now, thanks to her win, she'll take home a bronze trophy in the shape of a ham, along with a bag full of treats, toys and, of course, an emergency pet kit.

Oops, something didn't work.
Love NFS Hot Pursuit.
Keep em coming ...
Hey, how's it going? Love the show. I want to let you know about Anything Tracker, the debut app from Rob's Software exclusively for Windows phone.
Anything Tracker allows you to keep track of anything with one easy click. It allows you to keep a tally and amount. For example, you can track the number of times you went to the gym and the number of minutes there — all at the same time!
Anything Tracker is packed full of features. The Main Screen shows a mini-report and how much time has passed since the last time you tracked the item. You can also view detailed reports of your tracked item.
Then, check out the Charts View (yes, charts!), which displays a variety of different easy-to-read graphs of your tracked items by week, month or year.
From tracking the number of times you've walked the dog, to counting calories or the number of drinks at a bar, you decide what Anything Tracker should keep track of — so the only limit is yourself.
Here is the link:
So there is the marketing mumbo-jumbo... If you like it, go ahead and keep it on your phone. After all, it's free. If you really like it, maybe you can spotlight it here on Hot Apps. (Wink, wink.)
Thanks, and keep up the awesomeness that is Hot Apps.
I want to let you know about an app called IDE7. This app lets you write code on your phone (over 40 languages supported, with syntax highlighting for the main ones), compile the code using the ideone.com API and see the results.
I think it is a very useful application for all niners

GLENMOOR - A fire ripped through an Annesley Road structure Saturday afternoon, destroying items stored inside, even though firefighters were just across the street when the blaze was discovered.
The small home at 16309 Annesley Road was being used to store a variety of items, according to owner William Barcus, who lives next door.
He said he had been inside and removed some boxes from a cook stove then returned and found the area around the stove was on fire.
"I don't know if I bumped one of the buttons (on the stove) or what. The fire was roaring around there when I came back," Barcus said.
Firefighters were erecting a new ham radio tower at the Glenmoor Fire Station just across the street when deputy Chief Bill Bennett spotted fire coming from the structure.
Firefighters were outfitted and on the scene within a couple minutes, if that, according to Chief Matt Smith, who said flames were already shooting through the roof when they arrived.
With mutual aid from Calcutta and Liverpool Township fire departments, the blaze was knocked down quickly, with Smith saying, "They did a good job. We've all been working well together, like one big department."
Dixonville firefighter Nick Munoz fell through the floor but was not injured, although he was checked out by paramedics at the scene.
Two dirt bikes stored inside were recovered, with Smith saying one appeared to have sustained some damage. The structure sustained heavy fire, heat and smoke damage.
Barcus' wife, Roberta, said the building contained not only Christmas items but mementoes from her mother, grandmother and mother-in-law, as well as photographs, although she said firefighters indicated those may have been in an area not as heavily damaged.
Barcus said his tools were also inside the storage area.
Smith said he was uncertain if the structure or contents were insured, and said the cause is still under investigation.

The headlights of the Volvo FE have been designed to belong to the family. The characteristic and confident V-shape of the new LED lights will make you stand out in traffic, and makes the truck a part of the prestigious Volvo family.
By using effective headlamps with High Intensity Discharge (HID) bulbs we obtain effective lighting that resembles daylight, which is more comfortable on your eyes. HID bulbs also last longer than regular headlight bulbs.
The Volvo FE's headlights produce a beam with high brightness that increases night-time visibility and provides better right-shoulder visibility.

The Post and Courier
When the Godwins moved to the Charleston area, their real estate agent showed them new lots off Dual Lane Road.
Bill Godwin and his Marsha Godwin were impressed. He remembers all the "big oak trees." The community's directional landmark was a fast food eatery. The property was near where he worked at the Naval Supply Center and where she was employed as a school teacher in Charleston Heights.
The couple bought a lot at 2 Genoa Court. The neighborhood had just been launched. "In fact, my street wasn't even open," he says.
The year was 1970.
A few things have changed since then. Their street opened quickly and the Godwins built their home, raising four children who are now all grown.
Dual Lane Road became Rivers Avenue. A nearby shopping center and drive-in movie theater was plowed under to make way for Northwoods Mall. Charleston Heights would become North Charleston in Charleston County and Hanahan in Berkeley County.
"I guess we had lived here two years. Hanahan wanted to annex us. We voted to be annexed for police and fire service," he says.
The neighborhood, Otranto, would branch out to include about 300 homes. A quick-serve restaurant is still on the corner of what would become Otranto Boulevard. Heading south, newer neighborhoods Eagle Landing and later Indigo Reserve, both in Hanahan, would open. A connecting road was built into Eagle Landing. "We call it the back way into Hanahan," Godwin says.
"We like Hanahan," he says, adding that Otranto has been "a nice community to live in." It's "convenient." The couple's children attended Hanahan public schools and all graduated from college. They would become an airline pilot, teacher, pharmaceutical rep and salesperson.
Now more than 40 years old, the neighborhood "has held up very well," says Godwin, whose wife is deceased. "There are very few homes for sale. When they go on the market, they sell in a hurry," he says.
The Genoa Street house is two blocks from Goose Creek Reservoir, a 600-acre self-contained lake. Godwin says he avoids the water: "I let other people go down there with the alligators."
Otranto, neighboring Eagle Landing raised in the 1990s and decade-old Indigo Island Reserve, a long street that backs up to the reservoir, grew quietly over the years. They're being rediscovered as prospective buyers from nearby businesses such as Boeing look for high-end places that aren't far away. The communities also are close to shopping and medical facilities such as Trident Medical Center.
"It's really serene," says John Payne, veteran agent with Carolina One Real Estate. "I grew up on the lake," in Yeamans Park to the south.
The Realtor is listing a house in Otranto for $625,000. The sprawling residence at 2 Michelle Manor backs up to the reservoir. The owner, he says, has a "110 foot engineered seawall, boardwalk and decking."
According to Payne, "there's lots of good fishing and kayaking on the lake."
Otranto, Eagle Landing, Indigo Island Reserve and a few smaller adjoining enclaves are in choice locations, a mile or so from Northwoods Mall and Interstate 26.
"It's an old plantation," Payne says. "The old oaks with moss are beautiful."
To reach Otranto and environs from downtown Charleston, head west on I-26. Travel about 10 miles to exit 209A, which is U.S. Highway 52. The exit ties into Rivers Avenue. Follow Rivers past the row of auto dealerships. Turn right on Otranto Boulevard. Ahead is the neighborhood. To reach Eagle Landing, take Roma Road heading south from Otranto. Indigo Island Reserve, meanwhile, is a left turn off Northbrook Boulevard to Reserve Parkway. An alternate route is to veer right from Highway 52 to Rivers Avenue and make a left on Eagle Landing Drive across from the mall. Turn right on Reserve Parkway to get to Indigo Island Reserve.
Reach Jim Parker at 937-5542 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Location: Hanahan
Number of homes: 500
Square footage: 1,052-6,100
Look & feel: Live oak trees are a notable feature of Otranto after turning off of Rivers Avenue into the neighborhood. Oaks overhang a number streets. Otranto is a family neighborhood where children run through sprinklers, ride bikes or head to the Goose Creek Reservoir to fish. Most of the brick and fiber-cement sided houses date to the 1970s and 1980s. Eagle Landing to the south is more open and includes vacant land from a former golf course. The residences were built in the 1990s. Indigo Island Reserve is across a marsh; many of the high-end houses overlook the lake. The homes are no more than a decade old. Otranto showcases condo properties with units for less than $100,000.
Homes on market: 22
List prices: $37,000-$1.2 million
Schools: Hanahan Elementary, Middle, High schools
Fun facts: Otranto is named for a region of Italy on the Adriatic Sea and street names such as Basilica, Roma, Monte Sano and Genoa are in keeping with the Italian theme; Eagle Landing's one-time golf course experimented with Jack Nicklaus' lighter Cayman Island golf ball designed to fly shorter so that courses could be built in tighter, more urban spaces.

So proud of the Tigers and the clincher today was maybe their best performance yet as the offense really clicked to complement that starting piching. I've said many bad words to describe Delmon Young, but he's nothing but clutch in the playoffs. Peralta could have easily been MVP too. Coke dominating out of the bullpen and unsung rookies like Garcia and Smyly making a major impact.
Props to Leyland, Dombrowski and certainly Mr. Ilitch for putting this product on the field for all of us to enjoy. It wasn't always pretty this season, but once they got in, you could see the potential for something exciting to happen and it has. For me personally, seeing the Tigers go deep into the playoffs is really special. The Red Wings have always done it in my life and while you try not to, expectations and success can make you take it for granted. When your team stinks for so long, 2006 and now this year is pure joy. I'm elated and thrilled for the city of Detroit.

Looks like the Tigers are heading to San Francisco.
Posted 24 October 2012 - 02:17 PM
The rust concerns me a little, but only because 2006 happened. Different group of guys and Leyland has them prepared. Terrified of the oncoming trainwreck that will happen with Delmon in LF, but I definitely understand wanting his bat in there, especially against two lefties in Zito and Bumgarner.
The Giants are a gritty group. I feel like the Tigers need to split at least in San Francisco and try to win the series at home where they play very well. Gotta take advantage of not seeing Vogelsong and Cain until the series shifts to Detroit.
Key to the series for me is the Tigers bullpen, especially on the road. With the pitchers hitting in the NL, it means you may have to pull your starter earlier than normal. Not really ideal with the way the Tigers starters have been going and the uncertainty from the relievers. The Yankees had a lot of lefties, which is ideal for Coke. Can he get key outs against righties (I doubt it) or do we have to rely on maybe Benoit and Valverde? I would prefer to see more of Al-Al and Dotel late, but you know the other two are bound to happen sometime.
My heart says the Tigers should win this series, but that's usually when they have the biggest letdown when expectations are higher. Everyone in the media is picking them too. I will go Tigers in six and JV as MVP.

The Giants starting pitching is very underrated and on fire the past four games. It isn't the huge advantage for Detroit most of the media proclaimed like that dope McCarver.
Posted 24 October 2012 - 09:56 PM
Make up an injury and get Villarreal on the roster immediately. Valverde is beyond done.
Posted 25 October 2012 - 10:23 PM
The Tigers are in big trouble. That's not panic or me giving up, but just an honest feeling from watching these first two games. The Giants beat the Tigers two best starters. Now the Tigers practically have to win the next three at home to have any shot. Not impossible, but doesn't look promising with Vogelsong and Cain pitching. Add to the fact every break seems to go the Giants way, which they capitalize very well on. They have been the better team in every aspect of the game so far.
Feel awful for Fister. Third straight gem in the playoffs, toughens out getting drilled in the head and comes up with nothing again.
This is a resilient team and they won't go down easy, but everything has to improve a lot at Comerica to make this a series. Where has Fielder been all playoffs and even Miggy to a lesser extent? Clearly this group isn't built to manufacture runs by stringing hits together so we need the big guns to put a few in the seats.
Posted 27 October 2012 - 08:29 AM
I think a return to Detroit will do wonders for this offense. It's nice that Dirks and Berry will get into the line-up, too.
A win tonight and maybe they can jump on a struggling Cain tomorrow giving JV a chance to redeem himself on Monday.
Posted 27 October 2012 - 08:37 PM
Posted 27 October 2012 - 10:50 PM
The Giants are just a much better team, but this is a pathetic showing from the Tigers. I'm throughly disappointed yet again as the Tigers fail miserably on the biggest stage as favorites. Just getting to the World Series isn't fun and acceptable anymore. They spend a lot of money and have a bunch of quality players in their primes. This is such a huge letdown.

I hate bunting. Leyland bunts like he plays in the NL. Giving away free outs when you are struggling to score runs as it is drives me nuts.
I hope they can push some more runs across here soon. Don't feel safe with this bullpen and Max isn't going to be out there for 120 pitches.

BATAVIA – The Batavia Downs Casino is beginning a new year with an unprecedented $25 million expansion and improvement project at a historic horse racing track that not long ago was facing oblivion.
The major change involves moving 640 video lottery terminals from the second floor to a larger area on the first floor. The move, due on or about Sept. 1, may cause the casino's first shutdown, an 18- to 24-hour interruption. By that time, an additional 139 slots would be installed.
Ryan Hasenauer, the casino's marketing director, said the video lottery terminals are averaging $203 per machine per day annually, with receipts declining to about $150 a day during winter months and increasing the rest of the year.
Last year, the operation's daily average net receipts were about $140,000. Profits are shared by the owner, Western Regional Off-Track Betting, and the state, with a portion supporting purses for horse races on the Batavia Downs track and a harness horse breeding fund.
As part of the expansion project, inter-track wagering will move from a former restaurant near the paddock to the second floor next January.
Improvements also include two new restaurants – a larger Tim Hortons Cafe and a Thurman Thomas sports bar. Both will be located on the first floor and should be ready to open in September.
The past year was one of the best in the decade since the pacers and trotters returned to the track, according to Todd Haight, general manager for racing. Purses reached $80,000 for 13 races on many nights, attracting top horses, name drivers and track race records.
Betting at the track and online topped $1 million in a season highlighted by the New York Sire Stakes, which offers $1 million in purses for top 2- and 3-year-old standardbreds, and the $50,000 Robert J. Kane Memorial, a race for leading pacers.
Online wagering has been expanded to more than 100 sites, Haight noted. This year's racing season begins July 22 and expands to include four Sundays in August.
Haight added that successful promotions featured at the old Batavia Downs in the 1970s have been brought back. The most popular – 50-cent hot dogs and soda – draw the largest crowds and top handles of the meet. He noted that the surge in crowds resulted in sellouts every Saturday last year in the 300-seat clubhouse dining room.

Altoona Community Theatre's production of "Noises Off" is back on the local stage after taking a bow 20 years ago.
ACT will present a 20th anniversary production of Michael Frayn's comedy about a play within a play at the Mishler Theater on Feb. 14 to 17.
Kate Wolf, who was in ACT's 1993 production, is directing the anniversary show.

Mirror photo by J.D. Cavrich
The cast of ACT's "Noises Off" includes (from left) Katie Kensinger, Lacey Lichvar and Sam Wagner.
"I am really enjoying being 'on the other side of the table' for this show," she said. "It was one my favorite shows to act in at ACT, and when I heard that they were producing it again 20 years later, I was really excited at the prospect of directing it."
Wolf has directed shows for the ACT troupe before, including "The Producers" and "Crimes of the Heart," and acted in shows such as "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?" and "Steel Magnolias."
She has also directed the musicals at Central Cambria High School for nine years.
Fact Box
If you go
What: "Noises Off," presented by Altoona Community Theatre
When: 8 p.m. Feb. 14 to 16, and 2 p.m. Feb. 17
Where: Mishler Theatre, 1208 12th Ave., Altoona
Tickets: $20 for adults, $15 for students. Tickets are available by calling the box office at 943-4357 or online at www.altoonacommunitytheatre.com
The production comes with "unique and challenging" technical aspects, Wolf said.
"The show is about a troupe of actors who, in Act One, are rehearsing on their set for a tawdry British comedy they are about to perform," she said. "In Act Two, we see the backstage backbiting and craziness two months into their tour with the show. And the audience literally sees this from 'backstage': the set turns 180 degrees so that we witness first-hand all of the fights, scrambling for props, missed entrances and hysterical personality conflicts that go on behind the scenes.
"For Act Three, the set turns back around again and we see the hilarious mess the show has dissolved into on its last night."
Wolf said she likes the "teaching aspect of directing a show," and the cast, including her husband, Eric, who also acted in the 1993 show, "has been a fabulous cast to work with."
"It is just so darn funny," Eric Wolf said of what he enjoys about the show. "Even 20 years later, 'Noises Off' is still considered one of the best modern comedies. Three weeks into rehearsal, we are still backstage laughing at what is happening onstage. This entire cast really knows how to 'bring the funny' in delivering their lines and in nailing the physical comedy."
Wolf was last seen in ACT's production of "The Drowsy Chaperone."
As for coming back to the show, he said, "It's a great feeling, like re-connecting with an old friend. At the earlier rehearsals, I could hear dialogue by the actors 20 years ago playing in my head. On the other hand, it's a whole new group of very talented people. I realized very early on that I really needed to bring my 'A game' to keep up with them."
Wolf plays Selsdon Mowbry, an aging actor who drinks.
"My character is an older actor who has been in the theater his entire life," he said of how he is approaching his role. "He's lucky to have this job, but he doesn't seem to realize it. He doesn't hear very well and has trouble remembering his lines, which I can relate to now that I'm older. But he is very good-hearted and gets along with everybody. This role doesn't have a lot of stage time, but it has some great lines. Our stage manager, Bill Shoemaker, played the part 20 years ago, and he was terrific. So I really feel some pressure to do a good job with it."
Cast members Shaun McMurtrie and Lacey Lichvar are new to the ACT stage, and Martha Traverse is returning to the Mishler stage after 17 years.
"They are all experienced, talented and energetic actors who know how to do comedy," Kate Wolf said. "The stage managers and I are still laughing at every rehearsal, and the audiences are in for a treat."
Traverse, who plays Dotty and Mrs. Clackett, said the Mishler is "so full of rich theatrical history-a true legit house from the old days when Altoona was part of the professional circuit. It really feels like a Broadway stage, and there's nothing like playing to ACT audiences."
Katie Kensinger, who plays the parts of Brooke Ashton, an actress, and Vicki, the character Brooke plays in the play within the play.
"The rehearsal process has been so much fun," Kensinger said. "It is definitely one of the most challenging shows I've ever worked on, both physically and mentally. Not only does 'Noises Off' have a play within the play, but we also perform that play three times, from different perspectives. Each time we do it, the lines are a little different, depending on what is happening with the characters' relationships off stage. On top of that, the show is a fast-paced, madcap farce that takes place on a two-story set with stair cases that we're constantly running up and down, eight doors that we're popping in and out of, and even a window that some characters enter through. We all get a great physical work out with this show."
She has enjoyed working with the talented and experienced cast who are giving the show their all, she said.
"We work hard and we laugh hard at rehearsals. The play provides so much opportunity for actors to put their own comedic stamps on roles, and every night, I find myself bursting into fits of laughter when I see my fellow actors discover new funny moments," she said. "Even though the show may seem like a fluffy comedy at surface level, we've put quite a bit of thought into creating our characters. We talk a lot about the characters' off-stage relationships with each other and their back stories, because much of the humor in Acts 2 and 3 comes out of bumps in those relationships."
Kate Wolf counts 'Noises Off' in her favorites.
"This show is one of my favorites because it's not just great farce - slamming doors, mistaken identities, ridiculous compounding problems and physical comedy - but it is also very cleverly written," she said. "It is a satirical look at the backstage dramas and shenanigans of being involved in a theatrical production and that really appeals to me having been a part of many shows in both onstage and offstage roles."
Audiences will not leave disappointed, according to Wolf.
"I think audiences will get a night of great entertainment in a beautiful theater," she said. "What better way to chase away the winter blahs than to laugh yourself silly and go home feeling energized and happy."

An amazing collection of covers, from Bill Monroe to the Beatles, Coltrane to Jim & Jesse.
"…people who love great music and don't care about labeling it will eat this one up…exquisite." - The Associated Press... more
From the Redwoods to the Rockies to the Blue Ridge Mountains, the members of Phillips Grier & Flinner are considered to be among today's finest acoustic instrumentalists. On the eagerly anticipated follow up to their 1999 debut, two-time Grammy-award winning bassist Todd Phillips, 3-time International Bluegrass Music Association Guitar Player of the Year David Grier and 2-time Winfield National Champion Matt Flinner, combine forces on Looking Back, a beautifully performed collection of instrumental classics. The album showcases bluegrass standards such as "Dixie Hoedown" and "Monroe's Hornpipe" as well as a cover of McCoy Tyner's "Search for Peace", The Beatles' "I Want You" and Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" - all of which receive a fresh treatment here with plenty of virtuoso soloing from each member of the trio.
Uniquely refreshing in acoustic music today is the sparseness and texture of Phillips, Grier & Flinner's work. With just bass, guitar and mandolin, the trio engages the listener in a 3 way musical conversation, full of melody but leaving plenty of room for some of the most inspired, and occasionally quirky, improvisation to be found in acoustic music. Listening to Looking Back, one is easily reminded of sitting in on an incredibly memorable jam session; all of the spontaneity and interaction that makes a jam session great is present here – a remarkable feat for a studio album. This undoubtedly has much to do with each player's ability to provide inspired solos as well as supportive backup playing. Phillips explains, "Everyone had to carry their weight on these tunes. There was no room for any of us to sit back. If someone had, it would have taken away from the texture of the music."
Two-time Grammy winner Phillips produced Grier's 1997 highly acclaimed solo album, Panorama, for Rounder Records and produced Flinner's 1998 Compass debut release, The View From Here as well as his 2001 sophomore effort Latitude. Phillips' own solo Compass release, Timeframe was praised as an "acoustic gem." For the three artists, who had enjoyed collaborating on each other's albums, the next logical step seemed to be to record a trio album. Phillips explains, "It was never a conscious decision to do an album together. Everything we were doing at the time just seemed to lead us in that direction. The only concept for the project was that each of us would bring 3 original tunes and the rest of the trio would help shape the tunes into a spontaneous musical conversation."
The end result of this musical conversation was the trio's critically lauded 1999 Compass debut. Bluegrass Unlimited wrote, "It's amazing how full an acoustic trio can sound. Fans of exquisitely played acoustic music will want to check out the newest 'power trio' in string music." JazzTimes recognized their virtuosity as well writing, "Their playing is exquisite without exception!" The excitement generated over the release led to live performance opportunities for the threesome, who have since appeared at listening rooms and festivals around the country including Rocky Grass and The Four Corners Folk Festival. When it came time to record a second album, they decided to pay tribute to the music and musicians who have inspired them. On Looking Back, influences ranging from Bill Monroe to the Beatles to Jimi Hendrix are all present but each interpretation is uniquely that of Phillips, Grier & Flinner. It is rare privilege indeed to be able to listen in on 3 instrumental masters as they create such a pristine, acoustic tapestry and Looking Back is sure to be embraced by fans of great bluegrass and acoustic music.
Todd Phillips (bass) is one of the founders of the new acoustic movement. An original member of the David Grisman Quintet, he has recorded two solo albums (including the Compass release Timeframe) and has been featured with countless bands and projects including NewGrange, The Bluegrass Album Band and the Grammy winning True Life Blues which he also produced.
David Grier (guitar) is one of today's top bluegrass lead guitarists. He has four solo albums to his credit and has appeared on over 90 albums including recordings by Mark O'Connor, Jerry Douglas, Alison Brown and Psychograss. He is a three time winner of the International Bluegrass Music Association's Guitar Player of the Year award.
Matt Flinner (mandolin) is one of the most recognized mandolinists in bluegrass music today. He has recorded three solo albums for Compass Records (Walking on the Moon, The View From Here and Latitude), both of which are stand out releases in the acoustic music genre. In addition to his work with Phillips, Grier and Flinner, this versatile instrumentalist has toured with Leftover Salmon (on banjo) and leads the Matt Flinner Quartet.

Striped Bass
From Outdoor JournalMore on this episode »
In Plymouth Bay, Massachusetts, when you see birds on the water in the summer, they're chasing bait fish, and so are the Striped Bass that are running along the coast. Inland-based anglers come from all over New England to fish for Stripers, making it the number one game fish in Plymouth Bay. Stripers are for all kinds of fishermen. They're a great fish for kids to catch off of docks. They're for people who want to go out and dunk bait. You can dress sea worms for them, use a fly rod, soft plastics or stick bait. Stripers can weigh upwards of 60 to 70 pounds, and thanks to strict conservation measures, the fishing seems to get better every year. Host Lawrence Pyne joins guide Randy Julius of Misty Morning Charters on Plymouth Bay for a day of fishing for stripers.

Pearl City farmer named semi-finalist in North American Skid Steer Championship competition
Pearl City farmer named semi-finalist in North American Skid Steer Championship competition
New Holland Construction has announced that Scott Sheffey of Pearl City, Ill., is one of 32 semi-finalists who will compete at the New Holland Construction North American Skid Steer Championship event on Thursday, Oct. 27, at the 2011 GIE+EXPO show in Louisville, Ky. Sheffey, who works for Sheffey Farms Inc. in Pearl City, will face off against the most talented compact equipment operators in North America in a series of skill-testing challenges using a New Holland Construction skid steer loader – a fast-moving and versatile machine found on almost every construction, landscaping and agriculture project.
From a field of more than 2,000 participants who competed in New Holland Construction Super Boom Road Show
The North American Skid Steer Championship event completes the year-long celebration of the launch of the New Holland Construction 200 Series skid steer loaders.
"The New Holland Construction North American Skid Steer Championship competition demonstrates the advantages of our new 200 Series skid steers. This includes outstanding control, easy attachment changes, precise maneuverability, superior visibility and best-in-class dump height and reach," said Dave December New Holland Construction marketing manager.
Sheffey won the local Super Boom Road Show competition on August 20, 2011, at Peabudy's North, an annual agricultural event located in Pecatonica, Ill., with the winning time of 01:11:00.
"New Holland Construction skid steer operators like Sheffey are pros," December said. "They do everything from material handling and landscaping to grading, plowing and digging. The New Holland Construction North American Skid Steer Championship event gives Sheffey and his fellow semi-finalists a chance to operate the newest New Holland Construction equipment and put their skills to the test on a national stage."
New Holland Construction's leadership in the skid steer loader category began in 1972 with the introduction of the L35 – the industry's first skid steer loader with roll-over protective structures (ROPS) and a vertical lift boom system. Since then, New Holland Construction has produced more than 200,000 skid steer loaders for customers in the landscaping, agricultural and construction markets.
Events benefit local American and Canadian Red Cross chapters
The New Holland Construction Super Boom Road Show events also provided fundraising and volunteer opportunities with local chapters of the American Red Cross and the Canadian Red Cross. At each event, local Red Cross chapter representatives were on site to generate awareness of local activities and recruit volunteers.
New Holland Construction also made a $500 contribution to each Red Cross chapter that participated in the Super Boom Road Show events, including the American Red Cross River Chapter. To date, New Holland Construction and its dealers have donated more than $29,000 to the Red Cross through the Super Boom Road Show events.
As part of the world's largest humanitarian organization, the Red Cross works to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found.
"New Holland Construction is in a unique position to support the efforts of local Red Cross chapters, like the American Red Cross River Chapter, across the United States and Canada," December said. "The Super Boom Road Show gives New Holland Construction dealers and customers an opportunity to make a difference in their communities – in addition to the causes they currently support."

Hello ladies. Some of you may remember my post a few days ago titled "highly religious in laws" or something of that nature. Anyways, as I posted in the last update on that thread I decided LO and I were going to take a break from spending time with ILs and being involved in our semi-regular skypes (mostly when they have a family gathering, they'll skype us and we'll say hi to everyone then sign out).
Well, to add to the drama, my mom and ILs live in the same city. I have a very close relationship with my mom so I try and go down there to visit at least once every 2 or 3 months (we live about 3.5 hours away), and she comes up here on months that I can't make it there. I've never tell MIL when I take these trips. Honestly, it's not even really because I don't want to see her, it's just because I can usually only go down for a day or two and driving 45 minutes to her house, hanging out, then driving back cuts way into the time I have with my mom. Anyways, apparently it hurts her feelings that I never tell her I'm in town with LO. She knows when I'm in town, I guess, because my mom posts pictures from the trip on facebook. SO talked to FIL yesterday and told me that FIL said that MIL was going to call me to find out why I don't tell her when I'm in town. I know some of you are going to say I should just not talk to her, and I understand that. I also have my big girl panties on, so I'm not going to get all butt hurt if I get responses that don't say exactly what I want to hear... But just hear me out: chances are, I will take the call. So here's what I want to know- 1) am I being selfish by not telling her when I'm in town (my mom, like I said earlier, see's us at least once a month but ILs have busier schedules/we don't make as much of an effort to see them, so they only see us maybe 5 times a year)? 2) Should I take this opportunity to explain to MIL that part of the reason I am hesitant to spend time with them is because I don't like the way they treat me/SO and I don't like the way they act and speak around LO, or should I just tell her it's a logistics thing and I don't want to cut into my mom's time?
TIA for reading, any advice would be helpful.

Airport authority to get $1 million from impact fees
November 9, 2012
Impact fees paid from natural gas drillers operating in Lycoming County's Marcellus Shale formation will help pay for a new terminal building at the Williamsport Regional Airport....
In one article they b*tch about road conditions, further down we use impact fees to replace a freakin' airport terminal in a podunk town. Just freakin' amazing. Children, this is why you should NOT support a gas tax increase to pay for road repair. As sure as you weren't aborted, the money will go somewhere else.

Alongside best friend Lukas Haas, DiCaprio visited West Hollywood hot spot Bootsy Bellows on Tuesday night.
Donning a newsboy hat, DiCaprio mingled with club promoters, while Haas did "his own thing," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "Leo hung back and sat on top of the banquette. He was getting a ton of attention from the ladies."
The usually quiet DiCaprio was "upbeat" and "even danced and clapped along" as music from Jay-Z and Kanye West played. And when the actor was approached by other clubgoers, he was "very gracious and chatted with them for a few minutes," the source adds.
Once the lights came on, the two friends reconvened to figure out their plans for the rest of the night.

Firstly, verify that your JVM is installed properly by following these instructions.
Now chose a directory for Qpid broker installation. This directory will be used for the Qpid JARs and configuration files. It need not be the same location as the work directory used for the persistent message store or the log file (you will choose this location later). For the remainder this example we will assume that location /usr/local/qpid has been chosen.
Next extract the qpid-java-broker-0.26.tar.gz package into the directory.
mkdir /usr/local/qpid cd /usr/local/qpid tar xvzf qpid-java-broker-0.26.tar.gz
The extraction of the broker package will have created a directory qpid-broker-0.26 within /usr/local/qpid
ls -la qpid-broker-0.26/ total 152 drwxr-xr-x 8 qpid qpid 272 25 Jul 23:22 . drwxr-xr-x 45 qpid qpid 1530 30 Sep 10:51 .. -rw-r--r--@ 1 qpid qpid 65925 20 Jul 20:10 LICENSE -rw-r--r--@ 1 qpid qpid 3858 20 Jul 20:10 NOTICE -rw-r--r--@ 1 qpid qpid 1346 20 Jul 20:10 README.txt drwxr-xr-x 10 qpid qpid 340 30 Sep 00:24 bin drwxr-xr-x 9 qpid qpid 306 21 Aug 23:17 etc drwxr-xr-x 34 qpid qpid 1156 25 Jul 23:22 lib
Qpid requires a work directory. This directory is used for the default location of the Qpid log file and is used for the storage of persistent messages. The work directory can be set on the command-line (for the lifetime of the current shell), but you will normally want to set the environment variable permanently the user's shell profile file (~/.bash_profile for Bash etc).
export QPID_WORK=/var/qpidwork
If the directory referred to by QPID_WORK does not exist, the Java Broker will attempt to create it on start-up.
The broker has an optional message store implementations backed by Oracle BDB JE. If you wish to use these stores you will need to provide the optional Oracle BDB JE dependency. For more details, see Section 10.4, "BDB Message Store"

Medical Bill Woes
October 17, 2006
One in four Americans (25%) say that they or a family member in their household had problems paying medical bills during the past 12 months, according to a new poll conducted jointly by ABC News, the Kaiser Family Foundation and USA Today. That's the highest share of Americans reporting a problem paying medical bills in a series of Kaiser surveys taken since 1997.
Among those reporting a problem this year, nearly seven in 10 (69%) have health insurance.
These findings are part of a nationally representative survey on health care in America, which is being featured in a weeklong series of reports on ABC News programs, ABCNews.com and in USA Today. The survey examines Americans' views and experiences related to health care costs and quality, as well as their attitudes toward possible policy solutions.
Key findings include:
The Health Care in America Survey is a nationally representative survey of 1,201 adults conducted between Sept. 7 and 12, 2006. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points for results based on total respondents.
The ABC News/Kaiser Family Foundation/USA Today Survey Project is a three-way partnership. Representatives of ABC News, the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and USA Today worked together to develop the survey questionnaire.
ABC News and USA Today individually retain editorial control over the content they broadcast or publish.

Open the door to MobileR Mobile Device Repairs in Mount Pleasant and you'll see a wall lined with dozens of shattered screens and cracked cases. Each and every one an all-too-common crisis for customers who thought they'd be stuck with a battered iPhone or Android until they sought out the services of Michael McGee.
Setting up shop in Mount Pleasant just one year ago, McGee has established his one-man operation as the saving grace for those smart phone users prone to mishaps. Starting fresh out of high school, McGee spent six years with AT&T before moving on to work with SmartPhone Medic in Columbia, South Carolina, McGee's hometown. As that operation started to expand, McGee decided it was time to break out on his own, and Mount pleasant seemed like the perfect place.
"I used to actually come down here with my family for summer vacation ... I always liked the Charleston area, so I decided to check out Mount Pleasant," McGee said. "I saw how much growth was going on down here in the last two years, and I thought this was an awesome opportunity. I knew that there were some other repair shops, but I felt like I was able to contribute a little more to it."
Now, MobileR sits nestled among the other local businesses on South Shelmore Boulevard. Enter McGee's shop and you're sure to see him crouched over his workbench, old-school craftsmanship, new-world technology, and it all started when he was a kid.
"I kind of grew up building computers just for video games and stuff and that got me into tinkering with electronics," said McGee. "Over time, even in high school, I started taking apart little flip phones."
McGee credits his mother and father with helping develop his interest in electronics into a full-fledged business.
"My parents wouldn't go out and buy a new computer every time I wanted to play the latest game, so they would help me out with getting a new graphics card or more memory," McGee said. "That helped out and taught me how to build a computer and that way I worked for it."
Now, what began as simply learning to replace the graphics card on his PC or putting a transparent case on an old Nokia, has grown into an actual business for McGee and added to the rich, entrepreneurial landscape of the area.
MobileR is located at 716 S. Shelmore Blvd., Suite 103 in Mount Pleasant. The shop repairs all varieties of phones and tablets. Rates vary depending on the type and model of the phone or tablet and the extent of the damage. McGee specializes mainly in repairing hardware damage but is able to correct software issues in some cases. Visit www.themobilerepair.com for more information and rates. McGee can be reached at 843-388-3897.

CLAYSBURG - Jeremy Dodson, his girlfriend, Heather Feather, and his son, Jacob, 13, stood watching in disbelief Sunday evening as firefighters from five area companies poured water and foam on the house where Dodson has lived for many years, all in an attempt to put out a fire that possibly began in a turkey fryer.
He was comforted by Feather and his mother.
As shocked as the three present residents of 706 Ski Gap Road were, the fire brought tears to the eyes of Davin Dively and his wife, Bonnie, who live next door in a remodeled house, but who also watched the blaze in disbelief.

Multiple volunteer fire companies responded to a house fire on?Ski Gap Road west of Claysburg on?Sunday evening.
Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
Greenfield Township Police Officer Matthew Lindsey said a turkey fire "blew up" at 706 Ski Gap Road.
"We lived in that house for 35 years," Bonnie Dively said.
The Divelys raised their two children and a grandson in the six-room home with a spacious back yard bearing many large trees.
It was a building, a house, but it was also a home with a lot of memories, the Divelys said.
"That's why I stood and cried," Bonnie Dively said.
Adam Dibert, the fire chief of the Claysburg Volunteer Fire Co., said he didn't know if the house was a total loss. He and his fellow firefighters were still busy examining the home from the outside but had yet to take stock inside as darkness and the cool air descended.
The entire south side of the home was burned away as was the portion of the roof over the kitchen
Dibert said he wasn't sure what started the blaze at about 5:40 p.m.
Dodson said he wasn't home when it began.
When asked what happened, he said, "I don't really know. I came home and my house was on fire."
Feather, however, was at home when the fire began.
She was in the kitchen while a turkey fryer outside in an area between the car port and the burned side of the house was in use.
"I just heard like a 'whoosing sound,'" said Feather.
The home was on fire and she said it was all she and Jacob could do to get out.
There wasn't time to try extinguish the blaze, which seemed to immediately engulf the entire side of the house.
Fire Companies from Claysburg, Imler, Freedom Township, Blue Knob and Allegheny Township responded within minutes.
"Our guys started attacking with water and foam," said Dibert.
Greenfield Township Police Officer Matthew Lindsey said the turkey fryer "blew up," as he discussed what apparently happened.
The officer said he contacted the Red Cross in Huntingdon County for help.
He explained the Red Cross would help help with clothes, food and lodging for the family.
Davin Dively said he was looking out his bathroom window on the upper floor of his home when the sound of a fire truck caught his attention.
He pointed to the Dodson back yard, stating when he looked over at the home the flames were shooting as high as the trees.
The Divelys no longer own the home. They said that it now belongs to Homer Weyandt, who lives in the area. Dodson was a longtime renter.
"It's a sad thing. It's just a home to somebody, but it's more than a home when you raised your kids there," Bonnie Dively said.

W.Va. officials pleased with Amber Alert results
February 10, 2013
MARTINSBURG — When a child is abducted, cellphones across the Eastern Panhandle may start buzzing, after the debut of FEMA's national Amber Alert system in January....
Though I believe this is a good idea, I do not like this if people do not have an option to receive these messages. There should be an opt in or opt out process. Like others have eluded on these posts, this stuff could get out of hand and be abused.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The State Police Lt and Sgt say it's great. When asked how many alerts resulted in the rescue of an abducted child, they just looked at their shoes.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
While I think this is a good idea, many times a child abduction occurs in the Charleston area, the alert is issued all across the state including the eastern panhandle. However when a child is abducted close by in Maryland, we never know about it unless we happen upon it in the news. The problem for us is the panhandle is Charleston doesn't know where we are. I would hope the system would be set up to provide alerts within a certain radius of where the cellphone user is rather than statewide. I would rather be notified about an alert 2 hours away in another state than 5 hours away within WV.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I think this is a great idea, but it needs to be prepared better. For one thing, from what I've read, it will make a loud noise that can scare the crap out of you. So noise should be a minimum, or at least create your own sound. Next, don't tell me to tune in to my local news for more information. Put a link with the amber alert that will take me to a picture of the person, and where they were abducted, and any other useful information. Not to many are going to look to their news channels when they get the alert, so everything should be right there immediately.

I've had two notable Kodak Movements. Once I crapped a turd the exact size and shape of a banana,including the stem. The other was a perfect poo question mark. A honorable mention goes to the one that looked like an Indian tomahawk.
