Customer Reviews
- High Quality (Review by Cinder Chutes)
I like the quality of the material, and the way the jacket breathes which is astounding. The only problems I have with the jacket is the size of the hood and the size of the pockets, neither of which are large enough. You can't get skins or a half liter water bottle in the hand pockets and a lip balm is all you can put in the Napoleon pockets The hood is also too small to fit over a helmet. I had to go up a half jacket size but the fit is still tight. The decrease in the size of pockets of most manufactures is because they are making shells too trim. The jacket is regular fit if you are not wearing any insulation underneath.

Nick Goepper – Skier biography and profile
Nick Goepper burst onto the pro scene during the 2010-11 season with multiple podium finishes, including a first place showing at the Dumont Cup at Sunday River, ME. Last season, he took home the coveted X Games slopestyle gold, earned another first place finish at the Dumont Cup and, unsurprisingly, took home the number one spot in the AFP slopestyle rankings. He started out this Olympic season with two first place finishes in New Zealand and one at the Dew Tour in Breckenridge. He later went on to defend his gold medal at the X Games; he stomped a triple cork 1440 en route to the top of the podium. Plus, Goepper has been known to spend time with gymnastics star and Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson—perhaps she's lent him a few tips on how to succeed on the world's biggest stage, as Goepper took home the bronze medal in slopestyle at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

I came home in June and attended the taste of chicago which I do every year. The first peice of food that entered my mouth, was one of Connie's deep dish sausage pizza which made me really appreciate the good food in chicago. Something that I can't get in Memphis. I wonder, if there was anyway, that I could get one of those deep dish cheese and sausage delievered to me in Memphis? If this is possible please let me know. I can be reached at [email protected]. Keep up the outstanding job of having the best pizza chicago can offer! Miss you guys.

OTTUMWA — David Gordy looks right at you when he talks about Gettysburg, but it's easy to believe that he's seeing the battlefield.
His normally rapid speech slows a bit as he describes parts of the battlefield most tourists never wander through. He rode the battlefield last week, a rider in Confederate gray behind what were Union lines 150 years ago.
"It's untouched," he said. "When you look at the back side of those trails you see what they saw."
Gordy, an Ottumwan, is a re-enactor who spent the battle's anniversary at Gettysburg as part of the commemorations. He's a cavalryman whose horse, "Duke," took to the noise and confusion of re-enactments as readily as his rider.
Gordy isn't your typical re-enactor in some ways. He has been in a much more modern war zone. Two, in fact. Afghanistan and Iraq. He had done re-enactments before his service, but an advisor he met with as he left Afghanistan suggested returning to it.
The service in Afghanistan informed his role as a re-enactor with weaponry, too. He came across old British musketoons while there. The 1853 Enfields were extraordinarily well preserved, so some came back with him.
Gordy didn't start as a mounted cavalryman. His first re-enactments were as dismounted cavalry. After that came a stint as an infantryman. Different roles saw the war in different ways, and Gordy has seen a lot. He's intense. His enthusiasm comes through loud and clear.
At one point in an interview he called up a photo on a laptop and proudly pointed out his riding tack is authentic, right down to the iron pieces he made using a blacksmith's forge.
"I actually have a small shop at the house," he said.
Turn Gordy loose to talk about re-enactments and the conversation will wander. You meet "Seamus," a re-enactor Gordy's unit ran into at Shiloh. Seamus spoke with an Irish brogue and sang old folk songs in what Gordy described as a beautiful voice.

Lifting the veil on conflict, culture and politics
from Tales from the Trail:
Public forecast for Afghan strategy – stalemate
Americans have doubts over whether President Barack Obama's new Afghanistan strategy will ultimately result in victory, but a majority say the war is morally justified.
A CNN/Opinion Research Corp poll finds that 57 percent said the most likely outcome for the United States in Afghanistan would be a stalemate, with 29 percent predicting victory.
When asked whether a victory was possible or not possible, 58 percent of those surveyed said it was possible, while 41 percent said it was not possible.
But asked the same question about defeat, the responses were quite similar: 60 percent said defeat was possible, while 38 percent said defeat was not possible.
from Tales from the Trail:
Victory for Karzai, minefield for Obama?
Former President George W. Bush used to talk about the "soft bigotry of low expectations." He was talking about education in the United States.
But these days, that phrase could easily refer to the U.S. government's attitudes towards Afghanistan. Just look at the following phrases from American officials this year.

PASS Summit 2012 Schedule (and the first bit of juicy gossip!)
I've now arrived in Seattle for the PASS Summit 2012, and as always I'm looking forward to a busy week. There are a few things I wanted to highlight:
- There are always a few big announcements at PASS, and while I'll be blogging every day you'll hear the news first if you follow me on Twitter – I'm @Technitrain. For example I've just noticed a session on "Using Power View with Multidimensional Models" on the schedule which means, I suspect, that the long-promised support for Power View over SSAS Multidimensional, via DAX queries, will be announced this week!
- I'm doing a session on "What's New in SSAS 2012?" (BIA-303) on Wednesday morning at 10:15am. Unfortunately, the printed schedule and summit guide booklet have the wrong session title and/or abstract at the moment; the session details online are correct. This means that contrary to what you might see in some places I will not be doing a pure SSAS Multidimensional session; there will be about 15-20 minutes of 2012 Multidimensional content (I'd struggle to fill more than that) and the rest will cover terminology, Tabular, and choosing between Tabular and Multidimensional.
- I'm doing a book signing with Marco and Alberto for our new book "SQL Server Analysis Services 2012: The BISM Tabular Model" on Thursday lunchtime from 12:00pm to 12:30pm at the Summit bookstore.
- I'm doing a second session on "The Best Microsoft BI Tools You've Never Heard Of!" (BI-202) on Thursday at 1:30pm. This will be a fun session showing how you can use tools like NodeXL and Layerscape alongside PowerPivot for BI purposes; and yes, I know, if you're a regular reader of my blog you will have heard of these tools… but hopefully you'll find it enjoyable nonetheless.
If you see me wandering around at any point, feel free to say hello! I'm quite friendly and I won't bite. I might be a bit jet-lagged though – I'm wide awake at 4:45am right now…
Introduction to MDX for PowerPivot Users, Part 4: Filtering
The combination of the filtering functionality built into PivotTables, and the ability to delete and reorder tuples in a set without needing to edit the set expression itself that the Excel named set functionality gives you, means that you can usually implement the filters you need in PowerPivot without needing to resort to MDX. However there are some scenarios where knowing the MDX functions that allow you to filter a set are useful and in this post I'll show a few of them.
The Filter() function is the Swiss-Army penknife of filtering in MDX: it can do pretty much anything you want, but isn't always the most elegant method. It's quite simple in that it takes two parameters, the set that is to be filtered and a boolean expression that is evaluated for every item in the set and which determines whether that item passes through the filter or not.
Here's a simple example. Consider a simple PivotTable (using my example model, described here) with FullDateAlternateKey on rows and the Sum of SalesAmount measure on columns:
The set of members on the FullDateAlternateKey level of the FullDateAlternateKey hierarchy can be obtained by using the .Members() function as I showed earlier in this series:
This set can then be filtered by passing it to the Filter function, which itself returns a set, so it too can be used to create a named set. Let's say we only wanted the set of dates where Sum of SalesAmount was greater than £10000; we could get it using the following expression:
, ([Measures].[Sum of SalesAmount])>10000)
What I'm doing is passing the set of all dates into the first parameter of Filter() and then, in the second parameter, testing to see if the value of the tuple ([Measures].[Sum of SalesAmount]) is greater than 10000 for each item in that set.
Here's the result:
As I've mentioned before, it's very important that you remember to check the 'Recalculate set with every update' button if you want the filter to be re-evaluated every time you change a slicer, which you almost always want to do.
Where is the filter function actually useful though? Here's the same PivotTable but with Color on columns and with only Red and Black showing:
It's not possible to filter this PivotTable to show only the dates where sales for Black products are greater than Sales of Red products using native functionality, but it is using MDX. Here's the set expression:
, ([Measures].[Sum of SalesAmount], [DimProduct].[Color].&[Black])
([Measures].[Sum of SalesAmount], [DimProduct].[Color].&[Red])
Here I'm doing something similar to what I did in the first example, but now comparing two tuple values for each date: the tuple that returns the value of Sum of SalesAmount for Black products, which is
([Measures].[Sum of SalesAmount], [DimProduct].[Color].&[Black])
and the tuple that returns the value of Sum of SalesAmount for Red products, which is
([Measures].[Sum of SalesAmount], [DimProduct].[Color].&[Red])
The NonEmpty() function also does filtering, but it's much more specialised than the Filter() function – it filters items from a set that have empty values for one or more tuples. As with the Filter() function its first parameter is the set to be filtered, but its second parameter is another set, each of whose items are evaluated for each item in the first set. If one item in the second set evaluates to a non empty value for an item in the first set then that item passes through the filter.
That explanation is, I know, quite hard to digest so let's look at an example. Here's our PivotTable with no filter applied on rows and all Colors displayed on columns:
If you wanted to see only the rows where there were sales for Black products, you could use the following expression:
, {([Measures].[Sum of SalesAmount], [DimProduct].[Color].&[Black])})
If you wanted to see only the rows where there were sales for Black OR Silver products, you could use this expression:
, {([Measures].[Sum of SalesAmount], [DimProduct].[Color].&[Black])
,([Measures].[Sum of SalesAmount], [DimProduct].[Color].&[Silver])})
If you wanted to see only the rows where there were sales for Black AND Silver products you'd need to use two, nested NonEmpty functions:
, {([Measures].[Sum of SalesAmount], [DimProduct].[Color].&[Black])})
, {([Measures].[Sum of SalesAmount], [DimProduct].[Color].&[Silver])})
The TopCount() and related functions are, as you've probably guessed from their names, useful for doing top N style filters. If you wanted to see the top 10 dates for sales of Black products you could use the following expression:
, 10
, ([Measures].[Sum of SalesAmount], [DimProduct].[Color].&[Black])
Notice here how the dates are displayed in descending order for the Black column, but no other – that's how you can tell that the TopCount() function is doing what you want.
To get the top N dates that provide at least 5% of the total sales across all time for Black products, you can use the following expression:
, 5
, ([Measures].[Sum of SalesAmount], [DimProduct].[Color].&[Black])
The BottomCount() and BottomPercent() function (I'm always reminded of one of the old, old jokes here when I use the BottomCount() function…) do the opposite and return the bottom items in a set, but you need to be careful using them because the bottom items in a set often have no values at all which is not very useful. So, for example, if you wanted to find the bottom 10 dates that have sales for Black products you need to use the NonEmpty() function as well as the BottomCount() function as follows:
, {([Measures].[Sum of SalesAmount], [DimProduct].[Color].&[Black])})
, 10
, ([Measures].[Sum of SalesAmount], [DimProduct].[Color].&[Black])
Here I'm taking the set of all members on the FullDateAlternateKey level of the FullDateAlternateKey hierarchy, passing that to the NonEmpty() function to return only the dates that have values for Black products and Sum of SalesAmount, and then getting the bottom 10 of those dates.
In part 5, I take a look at running MDX queries against a PowerPivot model.

Cathie Shaffer
The Independent
I received an email card congratulating me on my one-year anniversary. Alas, the well wishes came from the car dealer that sold me my new used car last year and were followed up a few days later with a recommendation that it may be time to take a look at my brakes and tires.
Yes, this is what modern life has come to, praises for my maintaining a relationship with a hunk of Detroit-made motor and metal. Although, come to think of it, I do get cute postcards every so often reminding me that the dog or one of the cats is due for a shot or flea medicine.
There was a time, not that long ago, that when I heard footsteps on the porch, I knew it was someone coming to visit. These days it's usually just a guy hanging a pizza special thing on my doorknob.
I am not going to lament how wonderful things were in the good old days because I like paying my bills via the magic of the Internet. Getting instant updates and photos of what my faraway family members are doing via Facebook is great, too. But when I see a family in a restaurant, each member busy with his/her own cellphone or other communication device, I feel a little sad.
Our kitchen table was communication central for me as a kid and for my kids as they grew up. I consider myself lucky that both my children still feel that way. When we get together for a meal, cellphones are banned as we eat and conversation is encouraged.
OK, that conversation may take the form of teasing one of the teenagers about her adoration of mashed potatoes or an argument over why anyone would put mustard on a piece of grilled steak. But what's said is not of great importance.
Being with each other is.
It was at one of those communal meals during a visit by my nephew and his family that I realized what a startling resemblance my oldest granddaughter has to his oldest child, about two at the time. In fact, a casual observer might have thought they were mother and daughter.
That let us to a discussion about how much one of the other grandgirls resembles my niece, which morphed into recollections of some long-gone relatives and others separated from us by distance.
The upshot was an eventual pulling out of family albums to look at the many pictures I've collected and taken over the years. Kids who have been raised in a world of twitter, texts and cameras built into every device they carry were having a blast digging through boxes of old pictures and listening to our stories of how they came to be taken.
I ran into many pictures that were decades, even a century, old while helping clean out my mother's house in preparation for settling her estate. Some had me shouting for my sister, usually ones that were unflattering to her but occasionally one that brought back a powerful memory. As I tucked some of those photos into my stack of things to bring home and others into the boxes of photos she intends to scan into the computer, I realized that newer isn't always better.
Yeah, it's nice that the car dealer decided to congratulate me on buying a vehicle from them last year. And it's good to see pictures of my nephew's family vacation as it happens.
But I don' t think anything can replace the thrill of finding an old photo of my father taken when he was a young man and seeing my mother's handwriting on the back, a visible and physical contact that reminds me I am touching something she also touched. She may be gone but that link remains, a precious and most personal connection.

Editor's note:
The 23rd post on Ici et here is by Alex Winnicki. Southwest Montreal is changing. Rapidly. Nowhere is this more evidenced than in the area's food landscape. We're thrilled that a guy who has been at ringside in the SW for 28 years is posting about this topic. Hope you enjoy!
About the author:
Alex is a long time St-Henri resident. If he is not pushing fruit or chatting at the Atwater Market, chances are he is eating or cooking somewhere. His other interests include music and gardening, He will soon be operating a Singaporean hawker-style, street food stand, under the banner of the Satay Brothers, at the Atwater Market with his brother Mat.
Let me first say that like all of the bloggers thus far on Ici et here, I love this little big city. As my contribution to the Ici et here posts, I wanted to talk about my neighbourhood.
Being a proud St-Henri resident for the last 28 years, I have witnessed many things. Change, though, has been the dominant theme.
A little about the hood
Nestled in the heart of the Southwest, St-Henri hood stops at Atwater on the east and at St-Rémi on the west. For years, it was a rough and tough working class area. This was partly due to the presence of the railway and the Lachine canal. These features meant perfectly positioned to become one of Canada's most important industrial cradles.
Growing up in the neighborhood, one thing I remember was the impressive number of 'dépanneurs', taverns and fast food joints. Things have most definitely changed in the area. Industries have moved, the Lachine Canal is now home to leisure boats, not barges and the bike path is busier than ever. I still wonder where that family of turtles by the Canal went? And the heron? I dunno. Verdun?
The first thing to change in the hood was the people. Growing up, my ma was one of few asians in St-Henri. People were French Canadian, at least in majority. Now St-Henri is as diverse as the varieties of fruit I sell at the Atwater Market.
Next to change was housing, and in a big way. Mega projects along the Canal have revitalized the area. Condo projects and renovations on older houses are everywhere in St-Henri, and have brought fresh faces to the hood. I love the mix of new with the old!
And the food!
Contrary to popular belief it wasn't McDonald's taking over Applebaum's (sigh) that started the inflow of new food in the hood. It was the presence of new residents wanting options that did it! Gentrification isn't all bad
Old fast food spots are being taken over. To those insiders who know, don't get worried, André from A.A. will live to 120 and he isn't going anywhere, bless his poutine italienne and gentle soul!
We now have access to Indian, Caribbean, Portuguese, French, and more. Nice cafés like Café Mariani and the more recent Café St-henri are popping up. Pataterie Normand was taken over by Dragon Kitchen and subsequently became Tuck Shop. The original Restaurant Greene, an institution in Montreal, has become Kam Wing. again no worries, you can still hit that G spot right across the street if you like a real dark gravy.
I am happy to say that though things have changed, on the whole, it's been for the better.
And what about the Atwater market?
I love that market. I have been working there on and off since the tender age of 12. It, too, has changed dramatically The market that used to sell apples, potatoes, carrots, turnips, onions and a few other items now offers so much more: a greater variety of fruits and vegetables, some of the best butchers in the city, a huge selection of olive oils and sauces, macarons, speciality preserves, roasted nuts and a myriad of other delights.
More change is coming too. The market is expanding on the north side with 14 new seasonal stalls. Wild mushrooms, fresh fish, rotisserie chicken, crepes and more. My brother, Moose, and I are opening a Singaporean Street food stall as part of this expansion. Called, The Satay Brothers, we will be servin authentic South East Asian delicacies and will also be your go to spot for fresh asian veggies and exotic fruits.
It fills me with pride to think that my bro and I, two neighborhood kids, will be bringing our mother's native culture and cuisine to market that we love. Being a part of this dynamic area of town is just straight up amazing.

Great post, sir. I'll add another bit of Christmas music by GreenMonstah
for bad times to the list. "Christmas in New York" from 2001 by Shilelagh Law will (unfortunately) be once again very relevant this Christmas season. For the victims, the victims' families, and for the first responders who arrived to see the unspeakable.

Scout has released the final update for their 2011 Top 100. The full list is here. Kentucky's 4 commits: Anthony Davis #1, Michael Gilchrist #5, Marquis Teague #7, Kyle Wiltjer #22. Three remaining uncommitteds, and all have Kentucky ties: DeAndre Daniels #29, Trevor Lacey #59, Joseph Uchebo #76. Given how on the ball Evan Daniels has been (and how Jerry Meyer has not), I may need to consider replacing Rivals rankings with Scout's on the Big Board. Thoughts?

STILLWATER, Okla. —
It's safe to say that Oklahoma State University fullback Kye Staley didn't get his career off to the best start as a knee injury sidelined him during his first two seasons.
After making an impact last year as a senior, Staley hopes to take advantage of his extra year of eligibility and prove himself.
"I'm very happy I got it, it wasn't a guaranteed thing," Staley said. "It's just another year for me to prove myself on the field and show everybody my knee is fine. Everybody still has questions about. ... I didn't have a good start to my career but I want to have a good ending to it."
In 2009, Staley suffered a season ending knee injury that caused nerve damage at the time doctors were unsure if he would play football again. The fullback proved the doctors wrong and returned during the 2011 season. In a blowout win against Baylor, Staley scored his first career touchdown. The senior fullback from Guthrie said the injury helped him take better care of himself.
"Avoid staying out late, the type of foods I eat, dieting and just trying to stay healthy," Staley said. "I want to avoid the nagging injuries like hamstring. I'm just going to train hard and work hard at everything I do."
Last season, Staley had a strong game against Louisiana — catching two passes for 65 yards and a touchdown. Later in the season, Staley found the end zone again in a Nov. 17 game against Texas Tech. Staley finished the season with 12 receptions for 166 yards. The senior fullback was honored with a second consecutive second-team All-Big 12 selection The senior fullback said it was nice to make an impact last season and is looking forward to helping the team this season.
"I'm going to do just what the offensive coaches want me to do," Staley said. "If they want me to run the ball, I will run. If they need me to block, I can block. I just want to help my team be successful."

ISO Hong Fat's Noodles with Gravy
If anyone out there remembers Hong Fat's noodles with gravy, can you please advise where to get a good version of that dish in NYC? My cousin was a Hong Fat devotee and has been searching for a worthy rendition of these noodles since the restaurant closed.
I was trying to reconstruct my family's history and came across this blog. My grandfather was one of the original onwers of Hong Fat restaurant and was the chef there until he passed away in 1974. Can you tell me what the restaurant was like back then?
re: hwun
re: hwun
I remember it well and I loved the noodles with gravy. It may not answer all your questions but I wrote a bit about Hong Fat in my blog: http://bmj2k.com/2011/06/03/forget-it...
I know this is a 2 year old post but I hope you see this.
re: bmj2k
re: Velda Mae
re: Velda Mae
re: fourunder
fourunder, I think the dish they are referring to is an old American-Chinese (Cantonese) dish called Yat Gow Mein 一個麵. Sometimes spelled Yat Gat Mein, Yat Gai Mein, Yokamen, Yakamein etc. I am sure there are other variations. It was once part of the holy trinity of early American-Chinese fare along with Chop Suey and Chow Mein.
The noodles are usually thick, made from wheat and served in a broth or brown gravy. 69 on Bayard and Hop Kee still serve it. Too pedestrian for Wo Hop!
There was an old menu from York's Chinese Tea Garden & Ladies Lounge in Phlladelhphia (1917) seen on Ebay recently that had the following:
"Yock Ko Mein noodle soup 25 cents
Noodle soup with half-boiled egg, chicken and roast pork; Raw Onions 5 cents extra"
Hangover cure in New Orleans:

re: scoopG
Yat Gow Mein from my memory was Red Roast Pork Or Chicken slivers with shredded vegetables, noodles and Soup Broth(Won Ton).
In New England/Boston, I distinctly remember deep fried chow mein noodles covered in brown gravy.
Like Cantonese Chow Mein, I have also seen Deep Fried Lo MEin or Shanghai Noodles covered in Brown Gravy
Both Brown Gravies were the same used for Egg Foo Young.
Noodles with Gravy and Ground Pork is a pretty common dish.....sometimes with peas over rice.
re: scoopG
Yat Gaw Mein a.k.a. Yetcamein and a bunch of other aliases took different forms in different parts of the U.S. I never saw it in California and only when I started traveling in the Midwest and East Coast did I run into a dish with that moniker. The term also meant different things in different cities. My first encounter was in Sioux City, Iowa, where it took the guise of boiled soup noodles, where it became the subject of my first and only published restaurant review. In other cities it resembled what is often called lo mein (though, of course, lo mein also has taken a different meaning in different cities across the U.S.).
re: bmj2k
bmj2k: thank you for your response and for the link, it was very informative. As I said above, my grandfather was the original chef in Hong Fat and passed away in 1974. My dad and his brother were waiters in Hong Fat until my grandfather's passing and subsequently opened up their own restaurant on Elizabeth Street named Hong Wun, which closed in the early 1980's. I asked my dad about Hong Fat's apparent popular gravy on noodles so all of you posters can try and make it for yourselves. He said my grandfather would make a broth by boiling pork and chicken with salt (meats should be attached to bone), then once the broth was done, he would add brown sugar, corn starch and oyster sauce until it thickens. Then obviously he would pour it over the noodles. He also mentioned there were variations of this dish by adding bits of meat.
re: hwun
I remember this dish (I hope I'm recalling the right one) served with small (beef?) ribs mixed in, bite size.
I wish I was the chef that so many others of you are, I'd love to make that dish just to bring back some memories. If nothing else, I now have another trip to Chinatown in my future!
re: hwun
I was recently in the Hong Kong Guangzhou area and I found a restaurant that made sweet and sour pork the way your grandfather did!
Believe it or not, I have a Hong Fat menu from the mid-1970s (maybe 1974?). I hope this helps you in your family research "hwun." I've uploaded a photo but chow.com reduced the resolution so much that it is nearly impossible to read. If you want a high-res image, please let me know your email and I will send you one.

re: diprey11
re: swannee
just as an fyi, its probably not the same dish as the hong fat dish, but sounds very similar, there is a hokkien dish that is quite common in singapore called lor mee, which translates in mandarin to 鹵麵 lu mian. i'm not a huge fan of it, but its reasonably popular in singapore; i was at a hawker center called old airport road about 2 months ago that has a famous lor mee place and no joke starting at 10am there was a line of 20+ people the whole time and it was consistently like when i left 3 hours later
its quite thick broth with wheat noodles
this is in mandarin, so most of you won't understand it, but this is a video of a famous lor mee place in singapore that has been around since the 50s and they'll show you making it etc. basically they just talk about how it was founded by the guys father, what makes the lor mee special, how it tastes / how much they like it, then ask customers why they come there
re: vmaksym
re: hwun
I have the vaguest memories of hong fat from that time but I was there about five times with friends, one of the first chinatown restaurants I tried. I recall it was absolutely packed every time we went, we waited on line a couple of times. the atmosphere was fun, all the customers were happy to be eating the food.
I recall thinking it was good but wanting to explore other places where my friends were perfectly content with hong fat. the stand out dish for us was some sort of fried butterflied jumbo shrimp with a red sauce. Also, I think it was the first place I had clams with black bean sauce.
re: hwun
After several decades, we still remember the wonderful egg rolls. Helpers sat at a table in the back making them as fast as they could. The place was small and fairly long and every table always full. Best Chinese food we ever tasted. In fact, it might be the best Chinese food we ever. Always said we would choose to go to Hong Fats if we ever visited NY again. janice from Dallas

FRANKLIN, Tenn. - A day after Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agents arrested Williamson County Ricky Headley, his attorney said the charges are bogus.
A Williamson County Grand Jury indicted Headley on four counts of official misconduct.
TBI agents and Metro police were investigating Brooks Pharmacy, where several individuals including Headley allegedly received drugs without prescriptions.
Headley's attorney David Raybin said the arrest Monday is a political stunt and something he and his client will fight in court.
"It's double jeopardy. You can't charge someone twice for the same event," Raybin said.
"This is nuts. All this stuff happened in Davidson County. Williamson County has no jurisdiction over this," Raybin said.
The TBI and district attorney feel differently.
Investigators said Headley wore his sheriff's uniform and drove a county vehicle to pick up the drugs.
"It's basically acting in the capacity of a public servant," said Kristin Helm, a TBI spokeswoman. "You are expected to do certain things and to not to act inappropriately and not break the law."
Headley declined interview requests, but his attorney is outraged over the treatment of his client.
"This is war," Raybin said. "They've declared war on him. You don't do something like this and hold him for two hours and summon the media. Have a big parade and take the sheriff to his own jail."
Headley has admitted to a past addiction to pills and sought drug treatment.
But, Raybin said, his client never used his status as sheriff to his own benefit so there is no official misconduct.
"This is not a criminal offense," Raybin said. "It's a political ploy for Williamson County to take control of the case so that they can try to boot him out of office and have one of the other law enforcement people in Williamson County run for sheriff."
Raybin said they'll fight the charges and win in court.
He said Headley will not resign. His current term expires in 2010.
Headley was released Monday night from the Williamson County Jail on $5,000 bond. He remains on the job.
The cases against him in Davidson and Williamson counties are still pending.

Taking a tour of both France and Spain is a one great way to see Europe. However, in between the two countries lies a detour well worth the visit, especially this winter. Skiing in Andorra offers numerous pleasures. For one, there is the opportunity to hit the rugged Pyrenees slopes. Another is to get away from the crowded Alps.
Andorra is nestled in the Pyrenees between France and Spain. The entire country comprises only 180 square miles, but its beauty is anything but small. The rugged territory makes for wonderful hiking and backpacking for most of the year, and is gaining reputation as an alternative ski destination to overcrowded resorts in France, Austria and Switzerland. Snow cannons guarantee snow coverage for more than half of the skiable region throughout the year, according to Ski Andorra, the official association of Andorra's ski resorts.
There are two main ski domains in Andorra, offering a total of 183 runs. Grandvalira is the larger of the two, with over 100 miles of skiable slopes. The other region is Vallnord, which has numerous adventure activities, including the opportunity to ride a helicopter to the top of the mountain for unparalleled skiing on fresh powder. Travelers can also ride snowmobiles, go snowshoeing and even take to the slopes with a combination of skiing and hang gliding.
Of the many resorts, Soldeu is the biggest and the best, according to CNN Travel. Families will probably get the most out of this resort, as it is largely geared toward beginning and intermediate skiers.

Madison Hose Co. No. 1's biggest fundraiser of the year, the Fireman's Ball, had to be cancelled this year after Tropical Storm Irene damaged the waterfront venue and left no one in the mood to party. The volunteers from Madison Hose Co. No. 1 were too busy helping the town put itself back together and so the event was called off.
Some donors still came through, however, and the members of wanted to say thank you and to show you what they purchased with those funds.
They decided to purchase a Paratech Vehicle Stabilization Kit, one that can be used to stabilize vehicles that have crashed or flipped over while emergency responders try to treat and extricate the victims inside.
The kit includes struts, strut extenders, hinged bases with anchor clips, ratchet belts with finger hooks, and tie-down keys with J hooks. The new equipment will supplement the fire company's existing equipment, which includes wooden supports that can be propped up under the vehicles to further stabilize it.
The members of the fire company recently took their new tools out for a test run at the town dump and they say they are very happy with their new equipment.
Firefighter Jesse Gulick said the initial training went well.
"Stabilization makes the scene safer to operate for all responders and for patients who maybe still inside," Gulick said. "This purchase helps our department become more efficient, safer and provide better service to the town."
Gulick said the purchase of this particular equipment was a high priority because the company responds to so many accidents where cars are flipped over or otherwise in a precarious situation. The company often responds to incidents on I-95 where this equipment will come in handy.
"We have a lot of stuff going on, on the highway, where cars are flipped over and this equipment is very versatile in situations where we will be able to use it," Gulick said. "We can stabilize the car in whatever position we may find it in, and we can access the patients better, without the car flipping over. We can use the Jaws of Life in a more stable environment."
Gulick said the fire company has other high priorities on its list, including new air packs for the firefighters to replace the ones that are aging.
"They are getting old and we are looking to replace those, and we have a couple of other things in mind," he said.
Gulick said he would let us know when the fire company has its next fundraiser. But if you just can't wait, donations are welcome anytime. To find out more, or to find out how you can support the volunteer operation, you can write Madison Hose Co. No. 1, PO Box 573, Madison, CT 06443.

TEL AVIV (MarketWatch) -- LodgeNet Interactive Corp., the Sioux Falls, S.D., provider of media services, including Internet and television, to hotels and health-care businesses, said it would file to reorganize under Chapter 11 of federal bankruptcy law.

Historical Traveler Reviews Prince D'Angkor Hotel & Spa Siem Reap
A Breath of Fresh Air
After staying for four nights at a disgusting, cheap hotel in Saigon, the Prince D'Angkor was like a breath of fresh air. It was clean, beautiful and spacious. The staff was incredibly friendly. Their pool and fitness center was perfect. I was hoping for some water aerobics or fitness classes, but to be honest, it was nice to not have any music playing or any interruptions. A true sanctuary. Siem Riep is a quaint little town on the forefront of a tourism boom. Angkor Wat is absolutely incredible. I highly recommend the Prince D'Angkor for your stay in Siem Riep.
Massive disappointment
Do not stay at this place unless you want a miserable time. We visited for Xmas 2006 spent 145 USD a night for a room with furniture which looked 20 years old very grim room, totally indifferent almost rude staff and low quality of food. Largely ruined our Xmas experience. We checked out as soon as we could moved across the road and paid half for a much better place. It seems Siem reap has a lot of relatively cheap and very expensive places with the difference in prices not reflected in the accommodation. In my view one to avoid - Do not go here!
Great Hotel
Very good hotel - however, there are loads of new hotels in Siem Reap and nearly all the new ones look similarly grand and of the same rating.
Great hotel, fantastic country
Siem Reap was a surprise as a town - tourism is really taking over, with new hotels being built all the time. However it's still a fantastic town, feels very safe and the locals are very friendly.
Great Hotel in the Heart of Siem Riep
Really nice hotel in the heart of town. We had a King Deluxe room that overlooked the pool area. Rooms were on the large side with all the amenities and a whole slew of tv stations to pick from. Large well lit bathrooms and everything in the hotel was very clean. Loved the hotel and would not hesitate to return.
Fantastic hotel in the heart of town!
Stayed here at the end of August after a month travelling in Asia. This hotel has a fantastic location right in the heart of Siem Reap although it is extremely tranquil and beautifully designed.
The hotel is of beautiful contemporary but local design. I stayed in a luxury room overlooking the magnificent pool and was not diissapointed. The room was large and well appointed with every modern facility.
The staff were very helpful and extremely dignified and professional. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough! If you are travelling to Siem Reap it is a must! A real haven after a day of intense and exhausting sightseeing.
Nice and convenient
Unlike most hotels in Siem Peap which located along the 6th highway, This Hotel is in a very convenient town center location. It takes not more than 5 minutes by Tuktuk or 10 minutes walk to the old market. So it's not dangerous at all to travel during the night time. And just in front of the hotel, there is the mini-mart where we can find all necessary stuff in reasonable price. The room is new and clean with a small balcony which has a nice pool view. In-room TV has around 70-80 channels with a VCD player. Breakfast was good with variety of food. We had to check out on time (1200pm) but the hotel provided shower room for free in the spa area after the afternoon trip before head back to the airport. Even the hotel is in the center but it's not nuisance at all. Two things that I would complain were one lady at frontdesk was not very handy and told us that it would cost 4-5 US dollars to the old market, but the real thing is only 1dollar to anywhere in Siem Reap. The other thing is a hammaring noise above our room at 1100pm for 15 minutes. Anyway, I still would like to recommend this hotel.
Excellent Services with Good Hospitality
I have enjoyed my comfortable stay for 3 days in the Prince D' Angkor Hotel & Spa in Siem Reap while I was exploring the Angkor. I would recommend that you should experience with this Best Hotel and Spa, so that you will get all what I got.
Relaxing haven after a long day touring Angkor Wat
We had no reservations upon arrival in Siem Riep and our cab driver from the airport brought us here. It had just opened at the time. Service is great, rooms were very spacious and comfortable and the bathrooms well-lit (we had visited other hotels with the cabbie and many of them had dark bathrooms which I can't stand). We had a balcony with a view of the pool area. Spent the hot afternoons lounging by the pool area which was nice and large enough to not feel crowded. The morning buffet has a great variety of Western and Eastern foods to choose from. The only real minus I would point out is that even though the hotel was quite new, you could tell that the upkeep was starting to fall behind (gum wrappers in the elevator that sat there for days, dirt stains on the nice Asian carpets in the lobby sitting area).
4-star price for 5-star value !
Very central location. Walking distance to shops, eateries, internet cafes, massage etc. 10-15 mins drive to Angkor Temples. 10-15 mins drive to airport. Clean. Modern. Well-maintained. Hotel is only 2-3 years old. Good breakfast. Good service. Spacious room with bathtub and enclosed shower area. Officially rated as 4-star, but I felt I paid 4-star price for 5-star value! In terms of location, try to avoid hotels along Airport Road, may be cheaper but there is no shops/entertainment etc within walking distance. I highly recommend this hotel because I truly enjoyed my stay there. In fact, I almost got a hotel along Airport Road, but my tour agent told me it was full, and am I glad it was ! Important thing to note, but I do not know if it is seasonal, is that there is quite a lot of mosquitoes in Siem Reap, so have a powerful repellant or be covered. On the whole, I really enjoyed my holiday there and I hope you will too! (I took 341 photos in 4 days !)

Appreciates the support
Many of us have been active in the Occupy movement in Traverse City for over six months.
We have endured the occasional insult, freezing cold, wind and rain in order to remind fellow 99 percenters of our power to restore economic justice for the poor and middle class in spite of the greed of the wealthy few.
Rest assured, the movement is alive, well and making a difference.
What's it about?
Putting an end to government corruption.
Restoring democracy.
Rebuilding our system to support the people.
We realize that not everyone can hold signs in the cold or attend countless meetings to plan events and actions.
We are also aware that attaining these goals will take time and hard work.
Therefore, we want to say we appreciate all who support Occupy in other ways: Our families for understanding our commitment, those donating and providing space for meetings, people asking questions and staying to discuss the issues, who honk, smile and wave, street musicians, all educators, visitors and to the amazing gentleman who so graciously provides cookies every week.
We momentarily complain about the calories and then devour them. Join us.

North Jefferson News
After a second straight night of lackluster efforts by his Pinson Valley team, basketball coach Clint Argo was at his wit's end.
"When you shoot 32 percent from the field and 7-of-16 from the free throw line, you're not going to win ball games," a frustrated Argo said after the Indians fell to Pleasant Grove 60-52 on Friday.
"We didn't any hustle plays, and every time there was a loose ball [the Spartans] came up with it. It's just frustrating," Argo said. "I don't know what it is. We've gotten in a little slump here, and we don't know how to get out of it."
And of all the nights to go cold, they picked one where the opposing big man was red hot.
Maurice Johnson, the Spartans' 6-foot-4 center, put on a show. He went 8-of-9 on 2-point field goals, including four dunks and a spectacular alley-oop play in the second half. He also hit a pair of 3-pointers to go 10-for-13 from the field (77 percent), and was a perfect 6-for-6 at the foul line for 28 points in all. He also grabbed eight rebounds.
Pinson started out with a slight edge, but eight straight points (including the two triples) by Johnson late in the first period put the Spartans in front by one after eight minutes. It's a lead Pleasant Grove would never relinquish, though the Indians cut the deficit down to two points with 2:23 left in the third quarter.
But that's when Johnson cranked up again, with six quick points to pull the advantage back out to seven as the period ended.
Pinson guard Marcus Merriweather struggled mightily in shooting; he scored 11 points but hit just 4-of-18 (22 precent) from the field. Forward Johnathan Marable fared somewhat better, shooting 46 percent to lead the Tribe with 14 points. He also had 11 rebounds.
The Indians' record now stands at 10-8, but they've lost four of their last five games. They travel to Oneonta on Monday night, then host Moody on Tuesday in an Area matchup. The Indians are unbeaten in three area contests.

Kimberly Sialiano '09 spent month with in-house legal department at world's largest financial printer
by Scott Spitzer '73
Scott Spitzer '73 is senior vice president, general counsel, and corporate secretary of Bowne & Co., Inc., the world's largest financial printer and major financial communications provider and the oldest company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. With more than 3,000 employees and operations in more than 60 locations worldwide, including major financial centers in North America, Europe, and Asia, Bowne has annual sales of approximately $900 million.
New York, N.Y., July 25, 2007 – Friday is the last day of Kim's internship with my company.
Kimberly Sialiano '09 [a double major in government & law & foreign language and international affairs] has been with us for a month and has had hands-on experience in several diverse areas of our legal practice, broader than we first envisioned. She has been an absolute delight. She is smart and quick on the uptake. Her outgoing, positive personality has impressed those in the company who have met her.
Kim has done a good job on the specific projects I asked her to handle (i.e., corporate secretarial housekeeping, customer contract review, and employment law issues) and, importantly, she has asked many good questions to really understand the complexities. She performed several tasks handled by our in-house legal department, including corporate secretarial housekeeping tasks as well as analysis of commercial contracts for marketing and business communication services with Bowne's major institutional clients. She also updated our online corporate secretary database. The database contains key organization information on each of our large number of corporate affiliates, including operating subsidiaries, partnerships, and joint ventures. She then prepared original, annual unanimous consents for adoption by the boards of directors and shareholders of each of the corporate affiliates.
Updating corporate secretarial records and preparing annual documentation are important tasks for mid-size to large-size corporate law departments. It is an excellent introduction to learn how and why a complex corporation is organized the way it is, as well as its historical evolution.
Kim then reviewed and prepared an analysis of a large number of institutional client account agreements. She worked with me to better appreciate how a lawyer approaches and interprets commercial contract provisions that are often complex and interrelated. She also had the opportunity to meet corporate personnel and attend various internal staff meetings, including a presentation I gave on employment law issues to an offsite meeting of Bowne's worldwide human resource staff. Kim also attended a mediation with the company's inside and outside counsel before the State of New Jersey's Division of Civil Rights involving an employee discrimination claim.
All in all, this was the first time we had a summer intern (as opposed to externships, which we have had for several years), and it has been a success. Her work was important and helpful to us, and she did a great job. I wanted her to gain three different learning experiences: first, what it is like to work inside a major corporation; second, what it is like to work for an in-house legal department and the diverse types of tasks it handles, and third, what it is like to think and analyze like a lawyer.
Kim is a member of the same sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma, as our externship student last January, Leigh Anne Alexander ['07], who also had a successful experience with us (and, as I just learned this afternoon, they apparently know each other). Kim is considering a number of options for a career after Lafayette. I believe she is more interested now in going to law school and practicing law than prior to the internship. I told her I would be happy to provide a recommendation to her for law school or other endeavors she decides to pursue in the future.

Cattle producers reminded that new FDA carcass disposal rule - takes effect April 27
Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
Hits: 0
Minnesota agriculture officials are reminding cattle producers of a new rendering regulation that goes into affect this spring that could affect their ability to dispose of dead cattle. The new Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation bans the use of these carcasses in livestock feed if the cattle are over 30 months of age. This FDA regulation is intended to prevent the spread of BSE or mad cow disease and will likely result in increased disposal costs for livestock producers. Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) Livestock Development Supervisor Curt Zimmerman says the feed ban regulation has presented challenges to the cattle industry. "We asked producers, rendering companies, livestock organizations and state livestock experts to consider the impact of this ban and what disposal options would be available to beef and dairy farmers," said Zimmerman. "On-farm pick-up will remain an option for producers, and we're examining other disposal methods, such as composting and burial that may work for some producers." While most rendering services in Minnesota have indicated they will continue farm pick-up of dead cattle, producers will be responsible for providing documentation proving the age of the cattle. If verification cannot be provided, the cattle will be considered to be over 30 months of age and producers will be charged accordingly by the rendering service. Producers are encouraged to discuss with their local feedlot experts and extension educators what options are best suited to their operation. The MDA is working with the Minnesota Board of Animal Health (BOAH) to provide producers more information about the FDA rule and carcass disposal options. To learn more, visit the Minnesota Board of Animal Health website at www.bah.state.mn.us.

This is our first time using this type of service for lodging. There were four adults staying for a long weekend. We met the owner and he was very helpful and gracious. We felt very welcome. The apartment is absolutely wonderful. The owners thought of everything we might need including our forgotten sun screen and shampoo, additional bedding and towels are provided, as well as spices, and plenty of dishes and cookware, even a stroller and a pack and play. The space was large enough for us to host a gathering of our family who live in Littleton (a group of 6 more people including 2 children). Plenty of room for the children to play in the TV room (games and movies provided by the owners) while the adults visited in the living room enjoying the view of the mountains. Great kitchen with all the amenities. Easy access to anywhere in the area. The Historic Downtown was very charming. So nice to be able to park our car at the apartment and enjoy the walking, shopping and restaurants just minutes away. Would we stay there again? In a heartbeat! Highly recommend this apartment for any one staying in the area.
My children and I loved the place. It was spacious enough for all 4 of us. It was perfect distance for all the places we wanted to go in the week. It was much better than staying at a hotel because it had everything you needed or forgot at home. Beautifully kept and clean. We will stay again.

New Castle's police department has received a grant from the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation to add to its K-9 unit.
The $8,000 grant will be used to buy a dog, either trained or untrained, and a safety vest for the canine. If the dog requires training, the grant covers that cost.
Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback, announced the New Castle grant is one of eight distributed to police departments for their K-9 units in the Pittsburgh area.
Police Chief Bobby Salem said the department currently has three dogs. The additional dog will allow the department to have a K-9 on each of the department's four shifts, he said.
He said that from apprehending suspects to locating dangerous drugs, the K-9 unit plays "an integral role" in the public safety services the department provides. The K-9 dogs and their handlers also conduct presentations for children and community organizations.
Since 2007, Roethlisberger's foundation has awarded 107 grants totaling more than $950,000 to 102 police and fire departments and five community youth organizations, including Ronald McDonald House Charities and the Make A Wish Foundation.
