Home upgrades and vacations are traditional summer activities for people in this area. Unfortunately, scam artists know that, and they are hatching schemes to take advantage of people.
The New York State Attorney General's Office recently reported that home-improvement and vacation-rental fraud are the most common summer scams.
Sadly, older citizens are often targeted. They might be using hard-earned retirement funds for long-delayed projects or travel. And families can lose money that they have saved up for months as they planned home upgrades or vacations.
Always remember that a deal that sounds too good to be true usually is just that.
Here is advice from the experts at the Attorney General's Office:
On home-improvement projects, which include everything from having a driveway sealed to major renovations, it is important to:
▶ Be suspicious of any unsolicited offer to work on your home. Taking the time to do some research now could save you time and money in the long run.
▶ Check out the contractor with the Better Business Bureau.
▶ Get references, particularly about jobs completed a while back.
▶ Use local companies whose addresses you can verify.
▶ Get more than one written estimate that includes details about the materials to be used.
▶ Check with your town or city to see if permits are required. Don't let a contractor work without the necessary permits.
▶ Don't assume the lowest estimate is the best deal. Check the quality of the materials.
▶ Be clear that you won't pay for any work not included in the estimate, unless it's agreed upon in writing.
▶ Always be sure the contractor has valid insurance.
The Attorney General's Office says that scams frequently take place regarding vacation rental property that isn't what it is billed as or savings certificates that promise vacation discounts but don't deliver.

X17 XCLUSIVE - First Pix of Katherine and Josh as Man and Wife!
Posted on Mon Dec 24, 2007 06:30 PM PDT
Our correspondents in Utah just snapped these pix of very newlyweds Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley checking out of the Stein Erikson Lodge in Deer Valley Monday morning!
Even though it's the day after the day they said "I do," the bride still wore white (or cream, I guess), while it looks like the groom, still in his tuxedo, partied all night! (Katherine doesn't look too happy about that, by the way.)
Katherine was smoking (literally) as she packed up her wedding dress - luckily the dress was well preserved so hopefully it will remain smoke-free!
The couple then said goodbye to their guests and checked out of the lodge to begin their first day as Mr. and Mrs. Kelley!
Congrats to the happy couple!
Is there trouble in paradise already?
Dude, that cigarette is way too close to that dress!
Hope they have a very happy honeymoon!

Sloshed 2011
All the news that brews
From Atwater, B. Nektar Meadery, North Peak and New Holland
Published: October 19, 2011
Yes, they can
Given the ever-growing popularity of craft beer in Michigan, it's only natural that residents of the Great Lakes State would want some suds packaged in lighter, grab-and-go cans. Great for camping, canoe trips and other getaways, they mean you can enjoy the great outdoors without lugging a 12-pack of heavy bottles. It's not a new idea — Keweenaw Brewing Company has been offering canned craft brews for years now — but we have a new entry in the aluminum-clad category, from Detroit's own Atwater Brewery, with Atwater Lager and Grand Circus IPA.
Atwater owner Mark Rieth points out that it isn't just campers who favor cans. "Cans are great for boaters, golfers, or at music venues — about 30 percent of the market is not going for bottles. I've wanted to do this for four or five years, so it's been a long time coming, but we're finally there with the cans — and people are really digging them."
Not only is it cool to have a can of beer that isn't mass-produced industrial beer, the can has some advantages over bottles. The precious beverage is protected from harmful ultraviolet rays, and the canning process allows for less air hitting the beer and changing its taste. Rieth also points out that cans are "lined" these days, so there isn't that tinny taste to canned beer you would have had a generation ago.
And the offerings are great. They have canned their Atwater lager, the very first beer Atwater served in 1997. The traditional Munich-style helles lager is available in affordable 12-packs. Plus, they're offering cans of Grand Circus IPA. It's a session IPA, which means it's nice and hoppy without the typically higher ABV of an IPA. Which makes sense: If it's in a can, it should probably be more poundable.
Rieth also says that cans of Atwater's Dirty Blonde Ale will be available this coming spring.
Bees for beer?
Ferndale's B. Nektar Meadery, fresh off an expansion that will enable the operation to produce 400 times as much product, has also purchased special equipment that allows them to make "draft meads."
The meadery's Brad Dahlhofer explains: "It's lower alcohol, about the same level as beer, and we carbonate it. Typically people think of mead as a high-alcohol, wine-like beverage — and this is a product that sits more in the beer-cider category."
The push for fermented mead began almost a year ago. Last winter, Dahlhofer mixed up an experimental quaff called "Zombie Killer."
"I'd been wanting to do a line of carbonated meads for a long time, and this just happened to be one of the tests we'd done." With a laugh, he adds, "We didn't have the equipment to do this on a large scale, so carbonated it by shaking up the kegs by hand."
The unusual work paid off at a springtime tasting party.
"People just went crazy for it. People were lining up for it out the door. So when we did our expansion here, we made sure to get the right equipment and got to work on new batches as soon as the apples started getting pressed for cider."
Are the 5.5 percent ABV brews poundable?
"Oh, yeah," Dahlhofer says. "Quaffable, sessionable. We have more than 2,000 gallons in fermentation right now, and our release date is this Nov. 4, with a tasting. The following week, it'll hit stores."
The meadery also has a draft mead called Funky Monky. "We found a particularly earthy wildflower honey from Michigan with a kind of barnyard aroma that reminded us of a lot of those funky Belgian beers you find. In that spirit, we fermented it and added tart cherry juice, dry hopped it with Styrian Golding hops. It's big on the cherry, with notes of funk in the background, like a mead version of castile rouge, the Belgian cherry beer."
Next in the pipeline is B. Nektar's "Naughty Ginger," which should be out around Nov. 4 or later. It's made with Michigan star thistle honey, fermented to about 5.5 percent ABV, with ginger, coriander and hops. Dahlhofer says, "It's not hot ginger, just a pleasant balance between that mild sweetness and a bit of ginger bite."
Get a sneak taste of Zombie Killer on Nov. 4, at at 1505 Jarvis, Suite B, Ferndale. Two-day tastings happen starting on the first and third Fridays of every month.
Let's get wet
Traverse City's North Peak has a few surprises up its sleeve this Halloween season, with Hooligan Hoppy Pumpkin Ale and Hoodoo Midwest Wet Hop IPA. Part of the Northern United Brewing Co. empire, which encompasses Jolly Pumpkin and Grizzly Peak, we expect them to get pumpkin spice right. But the new Hoodoo Midwest Wet Hop IPA is the brewery's first wet-hopped beer, using raw, unprocessed hops straight from the vine within hours of harvesting when they're less bitter. Naturally, hops this fresh can't be imported. They're grown just up the coast at the Old Mission Hop Exchange.
How hoppy is it? North Peak brewer Ron Jeffries says, "Given its strong malt-backed spine, we gave this Hoodoo hops to run. It starts hoppy, ends hoppy and is nothing but hops in the middle. Well, OK, a little malt in the middle — just enough to keep this Hoodoo from getting fussy."

Schlage LiNK

Schlage LiNK Provides Peace of Mind
Security, comfort, and convenience: The average consumer doesn't need to worry about these issues when they are at home. That's right. M2M (machine-to-machine) technology is taking over the home to provide consumers the peace of mind they need and require.
One good example comes from Schlage, http://link.schlage.com, Carmel, Ind., which is most widely known for its line of residential locks. The company is becoming a player in the connected home space, and the editors of M2M magazine put its Schlage LiNK system to the test to see how well it will fair.
The Schlage LiNK system enables homeowners to remotely monitor access to their home through a wireless door lock and a Web interface. Full access to the system via the Web is available for a monthly subscription fee of $8.99. The simple Web interface allows homeowners to set alerts for when someone is attempting to access the lock, even if the incorrect code is entered. With the ability to program up to 19 different codes into the system, owners can assign separate access codes for anyone who needs to gain into their houses (e.g., family members, babysitters, repairmen, etc.). Among the benefits of the system is its ability to provide alerts via a text message or email indicating when each of the four-digit access codes have been entered in the home lock, allowing owners to know exactly who is entering their home and when.
Perhaps one of the slickest features about the system is the ability for it to connect the lock to other devices in the home—even a standard lamp. It does this through the use of Z-Wave wireless technology. Z-Wave allows homeowners to program the lock to turn on a lamp within the home when the unlock code is entered into the door's keypad. This can eliminate fumbling around in the dark trying to find the light once entering the home. Homeowners can also use this function to set a specific time they want the light to automatically turn on proving to be a good security feature, enabling homeowners to create the impression that the home is occupied when they are out.
The Schlage LiNK System Starter Kit comes with a wireless lock, a secure bridge, a light module, and all of the adequate accessories (i.e. batteries, set up tools, etc.). With the help of a Phillips-head screwdriver, switching out an old door lock and replacing it with the Schlage lock took our staff less than 10 minutes. The frame-by-frame picture instructions that come along with the system are easy to follow, leaving little need for guess work.
However, using the bridge to wirelessly connect each of the devices with the system—or what Schlage calls "enrolling the devices"—was not as simple, initially. After going through the steps of wirelessly connecting and disconnecting the lock from the bridge twice, enrollment was finally successful the third time around. After the online registration process, which took about 15 minutes, the system was up and running.
Initially, the only thing we were able to do with the system from a wireless standpoint was lock and unlock the door from a computer. Each attempt to modify access to the lock via the Web interface was unsuccessful, so we decided to call tech support for assistance.
After a bit of back and forth trying to reach the appropriate representative, we were able to connect with a system specialist, who was more than willing to provide assistance. The problem, it turns out, was the fact that we were accessing the system using the Google Chrome Web browser. When trying the process again via Internet Explorer we were able to successfully enter in a new access code.
At this point we were able to unlock and lock the door from the computer, and even trigger a lamp on the opposite side of the room to turn on when the door was unlocked at the source. Pretty cool stuff.
The Web interface has a few glitches that one probably wouldn't notice initially. For instance, after entering the email address that we wished to receive alerts on when the lock was accessed, we had to click the mouse outside of the window in order for the "save" icon to appear, otherwise the alerts wouldn't work. There was no indication of this so we had to call text support for assistance.
When it comes to being able to monitor and control lock access through an application on your mobile phone, Schlage supports many of the major carriers. We programmed the system to send alerts via email as well as a cell phone using AT&T's network. When entering the code to unlock the door, both an email and text message were sent out immediately, alerting us that someone was accessing the lock.
The system does a remarkable job of enabling a user to control lock access, even when not at home, giving them the ability to change lock codes and monitor access from a Web interface. The experimentation with the lock and the light module proved the Schlage bridge was an effective piece of hardware for connecting the devices and enabling them to operate in conjunction with one another based on personal preferences.—Mike Mara

Heidi Harmon was skeptical about enrolling her son Bailey in a program for children with disabilities.
Harmon's son, for the first time this summer, is a participant in 3 Lynx, a middle-school program coordinated by the Lee's Summit R-7 School District's before and after school services department.
Components of 3 Lynx includes Camp Lynx, an all-day summer camp that provides opportunities specifically geared toward middle and some high school youth; a school year program that is offered daily after school and on early-release, non-school and snow days. Homework, club options, mentoring, career exploration, peer relationship building and snacks are also elements of the program.
"I am very impressed with the district to recognize that this is a need and acting (on that need)," Harmon said of the third-year 3 Lynx program. "My son, Bailey, is having the time of his life. The staff took time well in advance to come to his high school to observe and get to know him prior to him ever coming, which was also impressive. We met several times to make sure they understood his needs and were able to provide whatever he needed and welcomed him with open arms."
Harmon said her skepticism with the program came from past experiences. Now, with summer break headed towards an end and the fall semester nearing, Harmon is a believer and supporter of 3 Lynx and Camp Lynx. She even emailed the Journal to talk about the impact the program has had on her child and others that face similar situations.
"My son is severely disabled and I struggle on a daily basis with quality people (and/or) programs for him to be part of and care for him," she said. "I was skeptical when I learned of this program as I have had bad luck with others. But I am so impressed and happy that I wanted to let someone know. He has been able to be so active, go on so many field trips, is happier than I have seen him in a long time. He has gone to the T-Bones game, Steamboat Arabia Museum, swimming every Tuesday at (The Bay Water Park in south Kansas City), a movie about once a week, Paradise Park, the Zoo and so much more.
"It is so hard for these kids to have this amount of fun sometimes, but they are making it happen and Bailey is smiling every time I pick him up."
Dawn Butler, director of the R-7 district's before and after school services program, said the fee-based 3 Lynx program is just one of many offered by the department. Others include SummitRise, a new program introduced last school year for elementary students and held on late-start Wednesdays in the district; KC Cubbies for children ages 3 to 5-years-old, and Kids Country, an award-winning before and after school program providing care to students in Kindergarten thru sixth grade at all 18 elementary schools in the R-7 district.
"Ten years ago, the director of special education approached me as I became the director and asked would I consider accommodating students with special needs," Butler said. "I'm like, 'sure,' and he said, 'we can support you and give you additional training since these families are having a hard time finding a quality child care for their kids.'
"Definitely has been a growth process with growing pains, but along they way, huge celebrations."
Butler added 3 Lynx is also available for able-bodied middle school children of the district.
"I've worked for two other large school districts in the metropolitan area and I loved it," she said. "I have nothing bad to say about it. But, Lee's Summit has given these families an opportunity that I don't see anywhere else…across the state or the nation. It's like going down a really busy freeway and hitting every green light and never having a yellow and never having a red. That's what it is like."
Added Harmon: "It's a great thing, and they work so hard to provide for these kids in Lee's Summit and make them smile throughout the summer."

HeyZap is another success story for Google Apps. Based in Silicon Valley, the company creates games for use on the growing social network, although it also creates products for mobile devices as well as traditional online gamers.
However, like all businesses, HeyZap needs to ensure everything it does runs as smoothly as possible, which is why it decided to switch to Google Apps for Business some time ago.
"For a company of 18, working efficiently and communicating fluidly is extremely important. When it was just three of us, we used our personal Gmail accounts for work,"Immad Akhund, co-founder and CEO of HeyZap told googleenterprise.blogspot.uk.
One of the reasons for moving to Google was because it allowed the company to keep all the company information under one domain.
Moreover, the employees found that Google Apps offered much more control over how they could manage their documentation. With Google Docs, they could create and store the necessary documents allowing others to access.
In fact, according to Mr. Akhund, ten people at any one time could be working on a document. This has allowed productivity to increase massively.
Immad Akhund added that as far as the games engineers were concerned they could use Google Apps for other purposes. He said: "Instead of a wiki, they use Google Docs to store technical materials for others to use. They take advantage of labels and folders to sort the information by topic."
Google Apps have many, often underused programs. Therefore, it can be hard sometimes to decide whether they are useful.
HeyZap, however, appears to be making full use of what's on offer.

Stephen R. Wigginton, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, announced that Thadius Page, 34, of Fairview Heights, Ill.-, was sentenced on May 19, 2011, in United States District Court for Conspiracy to Commit Unlawful Activities of Dog Fighting and Perjury. Page entered a plea of guilty on September 17, 2010, admitting that he, along with others had conspired to commit unlawful activities of dog fighting. Page also entered a plea of guilty on November 23, 2010, admitting that he was under oath during the testimony, declaration or certification, or made an unsworn declaration permitted by 28 U.S.C. 1746; made a false statement; or willfully made the false statement with knowledge of its falsity, rather than as a result of confusion, mistake or faulty memory.
Page was sentenced to one year and one day of imprisonment for unlawful activities of dog fighting, and 21 months imprisonment for perjury, each sentence to be served consecutively, resulting in a total sentence of 33 months and one day. These sentences are to be followed by 3 years of supervised release. Page was also ordered to pay a $40,000 fine and a $200 special assessment.
Headed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Office of Inspector General, this dog fighting investigation is the latest in a series of major animal fighting investigations conducted throughout the country since the passage of the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act, signed into law in May 2007, which makes it a felony to participate in the blood sport.
Participating in the investigation were the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Humane Society of Missouri, the United States Department of Agriculture Office of Inspector General and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Jennifer Hudson and Ranley R. Killian.

In industry, limescale damage can lead to a fortune in repair and maintenance bills, proof that hard water costs money. The same is true of your most used domestic appliances, the washing machine and the dishwasher. Both have heating elements that are subject to heavy build up of limescale and ultimately breakdown. Not only does it leave the visible film around your appliances, it also builds up in your water pipes as pictured opposite and can lead to restricted water flow and much larger water heating bills.Fortunately, with our easily installable water conditioner system, this damage can be heavily reduced, and even reversed, with visible results.Spending money each month on abrasive detergents only combats part of the problem. With the Water Imp conditioning system, the limescale is prevented before it even reaches your tap!.
Is Limescale Really that Serious?
In areas of hard water, the calcium builds up in your main pipes, washing machine/dishwasher elements, and electric heaters. The result is extra expense (estimated at £120 pa UK). Early breakdown of equipment, costly replacement, and the inconvenience of trying to remove white stains on your shower doors and tiles as well as your stainless steel surfaces. Read more…
Why not see how the Water Imp helped some of our other customers before deciding whether the system is for you, and remember… every system comes with a 190 day no-quibble money back guarantee, so if it doesnt work for you, then simply return it for a full refund!
"I am writing to thank you for your wonderful aftercare service. After over 10 years of installing our Water Imp it finally stopped working, but you assured me I probably only needed a new transformer which you sent the day after speaking to you and free of charge. I am most grateful. Water Imp works wonders in our hard water area and I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you once again."
Rosemary Hiels, St. Albans, UK
"Hello, After three days, we are happy with the Super Imp. I could see a difference on the first day. We are back to having more soap suds. We have well water, that used to be fine, but for the last year, we could see the calcium build up."
Roger Gervais
"I have had my water imp now for about three weeks and from the first day it has worked great. My hand soap now suds as well. In a few short words I would recommend highly."
George A. Laginess, Cathedral City, CA, USA
"Well wanted to update you on the two water conditioners. They are doing a fantastic job. They were installed around the second week in December and didn't tell anyone. The family noticed the change within the first week!…. Simply amazing and simple."
B Silverman, USA
How can water imp help you?
Extensive trials and laboratory testing, combined with a 98% customer satisfaction over 18 years has shown the Water Imp system to excel at:
- Reducing fuel bills by up to 30% in heavily affected homes
- Alleviating skin irritation caused by showers and baths in hard water areas
- Removing the 'scum' buildup around baths and sinks
- Reverse the damage caused by furring up and blocking of water pipes, while also increasing the water flow throughout the entire household
Why Choose Water Imp over a water softner or detergent?
Unlike water softeners and detergents, the Water Imp magnetic water conditioner does not require constant application. Just turn the unit on, and leave it… it's that simple. Also the long-term costs of both softeners and detergents can be staggering. With the Water Imp, you only pay a small price for the unit, and it's guaranteed to last at least 5 years (already saving a small fortune when compared with the alternatives!).The Water Imp has been proven in laboratory tests conducted by Bath University to be an effective alternative to traditional water softeners.
Order your water IMP today and see the difference in 30 days or your money back!

The Tribune-Star
The series "500 Miles of Wabash" wrapped up last Sunday after a five-week run.
As much as I enjoyed the adventure and learned much about the official state river, the project seemed complete. But, in a good twist on the famous "Godfather: Part III" line, just when I thought I was out, the Wabash series pulled me back in. Readers offered some enlightening insights, memories and photographs as the series unfolded. Their contributions to the story follow.
n Exploring the 474-mile Wabash on the water poses a challenge. About a decade ago, while reading "Undaunted Courage," a biography of Lewis and Clark, Stephen Burris bought a kayak and got a copy of Hoosier "riverlorian" Jerry Hay's definitive "Wabash River Guide Book." Burris wrote that he "wanted to get a feel for what traveling on a river would be like and decided on a voyage down the Wabash."
After first checking out the Wabash's shallow source near Fort Recovery, Ohio, Burris began kayaking in Jay County where the river runs fuller as it crosses from Ohio into Indiana at the State Line Bridge.
He tackled the river in segments, on separate day trips over a three-year span. Burris reached the Wabash's confluence with the Ohio near Old Shawneetown, Ill., on July 29, 2005. "Thanks for bringing back some great memories," Burris wrote of the "500 Miles" series.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Stephen. Lewis and Clark would be proud.
n Several Terre Hauteans fondly recalled a local Wabash fun spot in the 1930s and '40s known as the Eighth Avenue Beach. Complete with white sand, lifeguards and wooden dressing rooms, young people flocked there to swim and soak up some Hoosier sun.
"It was a nice, big sandy beach on the east side of the river, and you could walk almost all the way across the river at that spot," said Nelson Stephens, 82 years old and a lifelong Hautean. He swam there as a young boy.
Paul Sanders, a 93-year-old Terre Haute resident, frequented Eighth Avenue Beach as a teenager. "They had good crowds there, mostly young people, but some older people, too," Sanders said. At one time, a dirt path extended from the end of Eighth Avenue at First Street down the river bank to the stream, he explained.
Sanders and Stephens remember the Wabash water as clean, back then. "I guess to us, it was," Sanders said.
Neither could recall when the popular hangout ceased to be.
n Readers who grew up within eyesight — or a stone's throw, as Joe Shell put it — view the river as the backdrop to their childhood. Shell's dad was a sharecropper who loved to fish, use trot lines and nets, and clean and cook the day's catch from the Wabash, near their home southeast of Newport. As a youngster, Shell and his buddies camped, fished and played "king of the mountain" near a rocky sandbar. From his bedroom window, Shell could see the iron bridge spanning the Wabash on the Parke County side. The waterway held beauty and force.
"That river could be so peaceful and gentle sometimes, but other times it was a raging monster, drowning our corn with no mercy," Shell said.
n A snapshot from Tribune-Star photographer Jim Avelis' array of photos caught the attention of Sister Ellen Cunningham at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. It showed a life-size wood carving of "Red-Haired Nance," a pioneer woman holding a frying pan in one hand and a baby in the other. "Please, tell us anything you know or can find out about Nance of the ferocious frying pan," Sister Ellen wrote. "There must be a great story there."
The sculpture stands beside a replica 18th-century log fort at Fort Recovery, Ohio, where the Wabash originates. The spirited young woman, likely the wife of a militiaman, was one of the few locals to survive the Battle on the Wabash, when Native American forces led by Chief Little Turtle overwhelmed a U.S. Army contingent in 1791 at Fort Recovery. Historians say Nance fought off attackers with the pan, but lost the infant after placing the child on the ground to shield it from the violence. According to legend, Nance spent the rest of her days searching for her child.
n We captured stories and images from dozens of locations along the river's path, but Sheila Rogers of Indianapolis reminded us of one we bypassed — the Ceylon Bridge in the Adams County town of Geneva. She noted that it is "the last remaining covered bridge on the Wabash River." Built in the 1860s, the bridge joined the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
Sounds like a great day trip.
n The drought of 2012 dropped water levels and revealed elements of the Wabash unseen for years at Terre Haute. "The east bank north of the bridges is still the best kept secret," wrote George Pfister. "During the drought last summer, I was able to take my granddaughter half way across the river on the exposed river bed of pure sand. She played for hours in sand that rivals the finest beaches in Florida."
n Frank Johnson, a pilot, lives in Fort Wayne, but flies from Huntington, near the most northern point of the Wabash. While reading the series, he scouted the river's course from his plane and took some spectacular photos between Logansport and Peru. One of his pictures accompanies this piece.
n A fascinating reminiscence came from Rita Long, who shared a collection of photos from a half-century ago. Her pictures show the Wabash bustling with activity as members of the Fort Harrison Boat Club sailed the river, and camped, played cards and pitched horseshoes on a vast sandbar north of the city.
"We used to use the river all the time," said Long, now 74.
The Elks Club maintained a lift that guided motor boats from the cliff down to the water, she said. Women in the boat club walked up the sandbar's bank to an eatery in Clinton to bring back Italian beef sandwiches for the group. In the evening, guitars, banjos and harmonicas rang out around campfires on the sandbar, where boaters pitched tents. The Wabash provided a place to relax.
"You were just off away from everything," Long said. "You could go down there in the morning and the river would be as smooth as glass."
Like many residents, she'd like to see the community reconnect with the Wabash, which is the goal of the 2013 Year of the River project.
"We're on the banks of the Wabash, and we're not far away," Long said, referencing Paul Dresser's state song. "We're right there."

Staff Favorites - Jeff Garneau
Jeff Garneau | Send Email | Subscribe to My Sommelier Service
Jeff has been a member of the sales staff in our Redwood City store for the past four years. His first introduction to wine was as a waiter in an upscale Italian restaurant in Hanover, NH more years ago than he likes to admit. He slowly made his way west to wine country, working his way across the US as a graduate student in geography, a public sector researcher in regional economic development, and briefly, in the wake of the Anderson-Enron scandal, a records management coordinator for one of the remaining Big Five accounting firms. Finally, surrendering to the inevitable, he accepted a position in the wine business here at K&L. His goals for the next four years include drinking more wines from Italy and France and trying to limit the number of open bottles on the dinner table on any given night to fewer than six.

2002 Bowmore 11 Year Old K&L Exclusive Signatory Single Refill Sherry Hogshead Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 7-16-2014
You stumble at the foot of the stairs, eyes struggling to adjust in the dim interior of the nightclub. Somewhere a piano plays an old jazz standard. You are certain you have heard it before but you cant recall where or when. Soft voices murmur in the darkness, the words themselves indistinct. Suddenly a cigarette flares nearby, illuminating a face of porcelain etched in shadow. Smoke winds upward, disappearing into the gloom. Silk whispers against soft flesh as she raises a hand, gesturing to the chair opposite. You move to sit. The night is full of mystery and possibility. Who knows what might happen? Each year as I taste through the latest single malt offerings from Scotland painstakingly selected by our K&L Spirits team, one bottle in particular will inevitably speak to me. I never really know which one it will be. This year I was shocked to discover it was the 2002 Bowmore 11 Year Old K&L Exclusive Signatory Single Refill Sherry Hogshead Single Malt Whisky. Although I enjoy peated whiskies, I am usually more of a Speyside fan. Yet this Bowmore had that extra something something indefinable, ineffable something that makes you take a step back, set down your notebook, and just stop for a moment. Incredibly soft and silky with a weight you want to savor forever on the tongue. And smoke. Not the raw choking smoke of mistakenly sitting downwind of the campfire. Something deliciously subtle. A memory of old peat fires, permeating the roof beams of a favorite pub. A stolen kiss, the flavor of tobacco on soft lips. A suggestion, a hint, a grace note. Remarkable. Transcendent.

2013 Margerum "K&L Cuvee" Happy Canyon Sauvignon Blanc
Review Date: 6-30-2014
You tend to see two main styles of Sauvignon Blanc in California. They are either lighter in style, very dry and crisp with tart citrus notes, or fuller-bodied, with more texture and weight (often due to barrel aging), showing more tropical fruit. The 2013 Margerum "K&L Cuvee" Happy Canyon Sauvignon Blanc somehow seems to combine the best of both. There is real richness here with exotic melon and mango notes. At the same the wine has a taut, linear style with a marked acidity and an admirable tension unusual in a California Sauvignon Blanc. Really superb, and the perfect wine for those who like having their cake and eating it too.
Price: $18.99
2013 Clendenen Santa Maria Valley Mondeuse Rosé
Review Date: 6-30-2014
Each year here at K&L the advent of warmer weather yields a brand new crop of rosé wines from all over the world. Rosés are the perfect summer wine dry (for the most part), lighter in body, yet robust in character and flavor. I try to taste as broadly as possible in the early days yet, inevitably, one or two become my favorites and we end up drinking our way through a case or two over the summer. The early favorite this year was, rather unexpectedly, the 2013 Clendenen Santa Maria Valley Mondeuse Rosé. A bit obscure, Mondeuse is found primarily in the Savoy region of France. Jim Clendenden, of Au Bon Climat, maintains a few rows of the grape in the Bien Nacido vineyard. In some years, he adds a small amount to Pinot Noir for his Santa Barbara County bottling. The same grape makes for a bright, tangy rosé, very dry and crisp in style, with tart red fruits and a refreshing minerality. Delicious.
Price: $14.99
2011 Thierry & Pascale Matrot Bourgogne Blanc
Review Date: 6-18-2014
An unbeatable bargain in a white Burgundy. Richly textured. Lightly nutty. Very satisfying. Eminently drinkable. One of the best values in the store and a "must try" for Chardonnay fans.
Top Value!

Daniel Ginsburg "Grande Reserve Sous Bois" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 6-2-2014
In any given week here at K&L, we taste dozens, sometimes hundreds of wines, and we try to do so in a comprehensive, consistent, and competent manner. However, just like our customers we are wine consumers as well, and sometimes, in the privacy and comfort of our own homes, professional detachment goes out the window. I was fortunate to enjoy the other night a bottle of the Daniel Ginsburg "Grande Reserve Sous Bois" Brut Champagne. My immediate reaction upon tasting it was Wow! That is a manly goddamn Champagne! I dont know whether it is the high proportion of Pinot Noir, the partial barrel aging, the extended time on the lees, or some combination of all three, but this is a bruiser of a wine - dense, powerful, broad shouldered - and yet it manages to combine incredible richness with remarkable focus and clarity. Absolutely delicious, and a terrific value.

2010 Lambuena Crianza Ribera del Duero
Review Date: 5-30-2014
The extension of our Direct Import program to Spain is one of the most exciting things to happen to our Spanish wine selection in years. For the first time we are able to offer small production wines of extraordinary quality at unbelievable prices. Some of the first wines to arrive from the Ribera del Duero region come from Bodegas Lambuena. The best of these in my opinion is the 2010 Lambuena Crianza, a supremely balanced wine that combines a bright, lively character with ample ripeness of fruit. It is a rich, dark, oak-inflected wine that is sure to please a wide range of palates. The 2010 vintage is of such quality that while the wine can be enjoyed now, it will more than reward another 3 to 5 years in the cellar. Currently one of the best $20 reds we have to offer, irrespective of varietal or region of origin.
Price: $19.99
2013 Abbaye Saint Hilaire Coteaux Varois en Provence Rosé
Review Date: 5-29-2014
Every spring, the return of clear, blue skies and long, sunny afternoons heralds the start of rosé season. Rosé is the perfect wine to enjoy with a summer meal when you want something more substantial than a white and its just too hot for red. One of the worlds classic rosé wines comes from Provence in southern France. There are a number of different appellations but all produce blends made from Cinsault, Mourvedre, Grenache, and Syrah, among other varietals. One of my favorites is the 2013 Abbaye Saint Hilaire Coteaux Varois en Provence Rosé. This is a prestige cuvee made exclusively from their oldest vines, none younger than 25 years old. It is a blend of Cinsault, Grenache, and Syrah, and has that particular combination of ripeness and freshness that I associate with the best of the Provençal rosés. Tons of red fruits here fresh-picked wild raspberry and strawberry notes. Delightfully refreshing and the perfect companion for a lazy summer afternoon.
Price: $13.99
2010 Quinta de Arcoso "Padrao dos Povos" Tras-os-Montes
Review Date: 5-1-2014
We field more and more inquiries every day about the availability of red wines from Portugal. These can be tough to find. If you do find one, it is more likely to be international in style and with no true distinctiveness. From the rugged, isolated hill country in the extreme northeast of Portugal, the 2010 Quinta de Arcoso "Padrao dos Povos" is the real deal. Foot-trodden and tank-aged using traditional methods, this blend of Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela and Touriga Franca is medium bodied with bright red fruits and a lively minerality that reflects the largely granitic character of the region's (admittedly poor) soils. Superb regional character and typicity for a mere $15.99.
Price: $15.99
2011 Domaine Ballorin & F Marsannay "Les Echezots"
Review Date: 5-1-2014
Our first vintage of the wines of Gilles Ballorin, an extraordinarily talented young winemaker with a passion for Burgundy and an obsession with quality. The 2011 Domaine Ballorin & F. Marsannay Les Echezots offers surprising weight for the vintage. Open-knit, approachable but with remarkable purity and focus. Sappy and fresh with a lively minerality and an intriguing spiciness.
Price: Hidden
2012 Hanzell "Sebella" Sonoma Valley Chardonnay
Review Date: 5-1-2014
One of the most impressive California Chardonnays I have enjoyed in a very long time. The perfect wine for those seeking an alternative to the popular "oaky/buttery" style which characterizes so much domestic Chardonnay. Aging in neutral oak adds texture but not flavor, perfectly complementing the citrus and mineral-driven character of the fruit. What a joy to drink!
Price: $34.99
1986 Haut-Bailly, Graves
Review Date: 4-30-2014
The wines of the '86 vintage were forbiddingly tannic in their youth and very slow to evolve. Closing in on 30 years past the vintage they are really coming into their own. The 1986 Haut Bailly, Pessac-Leognan is certainly a strong candidate for one of the most charming wines of the vintage. The wine has all the hallmarks of a nicely aged claret - fully garnet color, bottle notes of cedar and saddle leather, and a fine coating of tannins on the finish that is the legacy of this long-lived vintage. In addition, however, it also offers a remarkable sweetness of fruit - red currant and cherry. The wine is possessed of a lovely ripeness and a suppleness of texture that became even more evident with additional aeration.
Price: $129.99
2011 Truchard Carneros Pinot Noir
Review Date: 3-29-2014
One of the most successful wines from the difficult 2011 vintage I have yet tasted. Very pretty with bright cranberry and rhubarb notes. Very well done.
Price: $27.99
2012 Carlos Diaz "Estrela" Ribeira Sacra
Review Date: 3-29-2014
Kudos to the buyer of our Spanish wines, Joe Manekin, for launching a direct import program. So far his hard work has yielded a great lineup of delicious, affordable wines. The 2012 Carlos Diaz "Estrela" Ribeira Sacra is one of the latest. Mostly Mencia, unoaked, and just amazingly good for under $20. A little earthy, a little floral, a little spicy. Bright and lively with good grip. What a find!
Price: $14.99
2012 Domaine Cherrier Père & Fils Sancerre
Review Date: 2-19-2014
I love Sauvignon Blanc. It is grown all over the world in every type of climate and every type of soil, and it reveals a different side of itself in every case. For me though, the epitome of great Sauvignon Blanc will always be Sancerre from the Loire Valley of France. This 2012 Domaine Cherrier Pere et Fils Sancerre is a perfect example of why I feel that way. It offers ripe, tangy gooseberry and tart, fresh grapefruit notes. It is lively and fresh,and intensely mineral in expression with hints of fresh herbs like tarragon and savory. And due to direct purchase we are able to offer this wine at $10 to $15 less than one would typically pay for most Sancerres. A tremendous value and a superb wine. Try it with your favorite goat cheese (I like the California Crottin from Redwood Hill Farm) and a fresh baguette.
Top Value!
Price: $16.99
2007 York Creek "MXB" Spring Mountain District Red Blend
Review Date: 1-23-2014
For those California wine fans looking for an all-purpose house red, look no further than this 2007 York Creek Vineyards MXB. This old style field blend incorporates five different varietals, with Zinfandel taking the lead. True to the warm 2007 vintage, the wine offers sweet, ripe red and black fruits yet remains bright and lively in character. The extra time in bottle means the oak is very nicely integrated, adding just a bit of spice on the nose and palate. Although it could be enjoyed on its own, this might just be the perfect BBQ wine. I can't wait to try it with our local Fred Steak. As good as this wine is, the price seals the deal. Incredible value for a mere $15.99.
Price: $15.99

Last week I had a little pep talk with myself. It went something like this:
"Alright YOU, you've had enough baked goods to get you through three breakups. Calm the F down, madam. Eat a green bean or something."
And then I made these. BUT in my defense… they are made out of chickpeas. You heard me. Chocolate-Covered Katie has created flourless, nearly fat-free, vegan blondies made out of chickpeas. Don't believe me? Exhibit A.
Now, I don't know what I did so terribly wrong that mine came out looking (and I assume tasting) nothing like hers, but I'm not complaining because these suckers are good. And I know it's not a green bean but, really, if we're all honest with ourselves, it's pretty much just like eating hummus so… Hate on, haters.

Last week I had the pleasure of working with Gabriele Negro in my studio. He's an Italian piano genius who also produces electronic music for fashion labels (ex. Dolce & Gabbana). Since he was a small child he has been able to play anything he hears instantly. His parents realized he was special when he started playing the television commercials he heard on his toy piano. He was soon shipped off to Berkley and today he's one of the best in the world.
I'm finishing up my next album and I decided to cover a song I always loved. Gabri jotted down the main melody for me.
Can you guess the song?

So the fact that New Yorkers pay uniform milk prices and San Franciscans don't has nothing to do with the tastes of the cities' residents, but rather the regulations imposed on their dairy markets. (And there are many places where prices are set as they are in New York, and many other places where prices are set as they are in San Francisco.) So it's possible to assess the effect of milk prices on milk purchases by comparing the two groups.
The research team_Romana Khan of Ozyegin University in Istanbul, Kanishka Misra of the London Business School, and Vishal Singh of NYU_collected scanner data from over 1,700 supermarkets for 2001 to 2006 to examine how milk-buying patterns differ around the country depending on whether lower-fat varieties of milk are cheaper than whole milk or exactly the same price. Focusing on gallon containers of store-brand labels, they find that even relatively modest price differentials between whole and 2 percent can shift purchasing behavior: For consumers in the bottom 20 percent of the income distribution, even a price difference of 5 percent or less between whole and 2 percent reduces whole milk's overall market share by 20 percent. For these low-income buyers, a 15 percent price gap cuts the whole milk's share in half_from 52 to 25 percent. Rich consumers_in the top 20 percent of the income distribution_buy a lot less whole milk than poor consumers even when its price is no higher than other milk. But even these high earners engage in milk comparison shopping: a 15 percent price differential between whole and 2 percent drops the market share of whole milk from 25 to 15 percent.
Are consumers simply replacing nutritious yet caloric whole milk with empty-caloried soda? Across regions with different milk-pricing formulas, there's no difference in the consumption of soda: It's simply higher across the board for lower-income shoppers. (This also serves to reinforce the plausibility of one the study's biggest assumptions: that regions with variable milk pricing don't have other attributes that might account for higher consumption of lower calorie milk. It's not as if people in San Francisco drink more soda than people in New York.)

By Mary Stachyra Lopez
Aaron Alexis, who authorities have identified as the Washington Navy Yard shooter, had a secret security clearance despite misconduct during his time in the Navy Reserves, possible mental health problems and previous run-ins with the law.
History of Misconduct
Alexis, 34, who was killed at the Navy Yard Monday, was honorably discharged from the Navy in 2011. He had been awarded the National Defense Service Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, according to military records. But the New York City native also had a history of misconduct in the military—and was cited at least eight times for bad behavior including disorderly conduct, insubordination and unauthorized absences from work, The Washington Post reported, citing an anonymous Navy official.
The Navy originally sought to give Alexis a general discharge, according to several news reports, but agreed to let him have an honorable discharge through the early enlisted transition program.
Alexis entered the base legally, because he had been hired to work as a contractor at Navy Yard.
Run-ins with the Law Start in Seattle
Alexis also had run-ins with the law stretching back to 2004. On May 6 of that year, he shot out the tires of another man's vehicle in what he called an "anger-fueled blackout," according to the Seattle Police Department.
In that incident, two construction workers had parked their Honda Accord in the driveway of their worksite, which was next to a home where Alexis was staying. Alexis allegedly walked out of his home, pulled a gun from his waistband, then fired three shots into the two rear tires of the vehicle, police said.
The construction workers and a manager at the site told detectives that Alexis had "stared" at the workers every day during the previous month. The owner of the business speculated that Alexis may have been angry over parking.
Detectives tried to contact Alexis several times, and eventually arrested him outside of the home on June 3, Seattle Police said. They searched Alexis' home, and found a Glock .45 and ammunition in his room. Alexis told detectives he believed he had been "mocked" and "disrespected" by construction workers, and that he could not remember firing his gun at the vehicle.
Other Signals
Alexis also told the Seattle Police that he had been present during "the tragic events of September 11, 2001," which "disturbed" him. Alexis's father told police that his son had participated in rescue attempts and had anger management problems due to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Those claims have not been confirmed.
There are also unconfirmed reports from unnamed sources in law enforcement, according to the AP, that Alexis had mental health problems, such as hearing voices, a sleep disorder and paranoia.
In 2008, Alexis spent two nights in jail in DeKalb County, Ga., on a disorderly conduct charge, but authorities had no further details on that case.
Troubles Continue in Fort Worth
While living in Fort Worth in 2010, Alexis was arrested for firing a gun into his upstairs neighbor's apartment, but charges were never filed.
The caller reported on the evening of Sept. 4 that she was sitting in a chair when she heard a 'POP' and saw smoke and dust, according to an incident report from the Fort Worth Police Department. She found a hole in her floor and the ceiling.
She told officers that Alexis had called police on her several times for being too loud. She also said that Alexis had confronted her in the parking lot about the noise, and felt that he had fired the gun intentionally.
"I made contact with Aaron who informed me that he did have a gun and he said that he was cleaning it when it went off. He said that he was trying to clean his gun while cooking and that his hands were slippery," the Fort Worth officer wrote in his report.
"When asked why he didn't call police or go check on the resident above him, Aaron said that he didn't think it went all the way through since he couldn't see any light through the hole. In regards to the noise he said he thought that people would just think it was a firecracker."
'Some Sort of Microwave Machine'Alexis made a call to the police in Newport, Rhode Island, on Aug. 7, and said he had an argument with three people at the airport. He claimed that they were following him, said Lt. William Fitzgerald of the Newport Police.
Alexis was staying at the Marriott Hotel, located at 25 America's Cup Avenue, and complained the people were speaking to him through a wall and keeping him awake by sending vibrations into his body, according to the police report.
He allegedly said the individuals were using "some sort of microwave machine" to send vibrations through the ceiling, penetrating his body so he could not go to sleep.
He reportedly said he did not have a history of mental illness in his family and that he has never had any sort of psychotic episode.
The police reports were faxed to the Navy Police. Sources said he stayed at hotels in Middletown and Newport during his stay.
The Investigation Continues
D.C. Metropolitan Police on Monday afternoon turned the lead on the investigation to the FBI.
"The full resources of the Department of Justice will continue to be made available to support our law enforcement partners as our nation responds to this latest mass shooting," Attorney General Eric Holder said in a press release.Anyone with additional details on Alexis should call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
Olga Enger contributed to this report.

Manchester's water: Raise a glass to Tom Bowen
If you don't know Bowen or his work, that really says a great deal about him and his management skills. Think about it. When was the last time you heard any great grumbling, any at all, really, about the city's water?
Water rates have been moderate. Water supply has been kept steady, through drought, flood or city expansion.
And as for water quality, Manchester's truly rates among the best in the country.
Our City Hall reporter, Ted Siefer, noted this in a recent Sunday column.
"While complex infrastructure systems rarely generate big headlines, it's worth noting that, under Bowen, the Water Works has gained national recognition for the quality and taste of the water it conveys through city taps," Siefer wrote.
Bowen began his city career in 1970 as an engineer. He has directed the agency since 1992.
He told Siefer he is proudest of his involvement in the construction of the water treatment plant on Lake Shore Road in the early 1970s and its rehabilitation in the 2000s.
"Water quality goes hand in hand with the treatment facility," he said. "Manchester has excellent water quality. It starts with having a good program in place to protect Lake Massabesic and the improvements that were completed in 2006, which will serve the community for at least another 20 years."
Bowen, like any good boss, credits his people.
"I'd be remiss if I did not say that we've always had very good people there, from the meter readers right through to the administrative staff and engineers. It's been a very dedicated group of people, and I really enjoyed my career there."
And the city, and this newspaper, would be remiss if we didn't all say thanks and a job well done to Tom Bowen.

Engineering seniors, operating in design teams, apply principles of the design process to create a product or process to meet the needs of a customer. Projects may originate in industry, as a contest sponsored by a professional society, or in other venues. The design team, with the guidance of a faculty advisor, must plan, direct, conduct, and effectively communicate the results of the design effort through a professional engineering report and oral presentation. The design project will include material within and beyond the curriculum as well as technical and non-technical considerations. Design projects often result in a deliverable prototype.
Every year the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE International) holds a variety of design and build competitions for college students. Following a tradition begun by the class of 2007, the Engineering class of 2014 at York College has decided to enter the Formula SAE competition, which is the most challenging and prestigious of all the SAE competitions. The Formula SAE competition will allow us to conceive, design, analyze and fabricate a small formula-style racing car. In May we will take our car to Michigan for judging and comparison with approximately 150 other vehicles from colleges and universities throughout the world.

Keokuk residents have several opportunities to weigh in on the search for a new school superintendent.
The school board has hired Ray & Associates to help the district find a replacement for Doctor Lora Wolff. She is stepping down to take a teaching position at WIU.
The Cedar Rapids-based firm will hold two public input sessions at the middle school on Tuesday. The first will get underway at 12:00 P.M. while the second is scheduled for 5:30 P.M.
Those who cannot attend can provide input through a survey on the district's website.
The Keokuk School Board will get some help in its search for a new superintendent.
Doctor Lora Wolff is stepping down June 30 to take a teaching position at Western Illinois University. The school board officially accepted her resignation Tuesday night.
Shortly after that vote, the board agreed to hire Ray & Associates to assist in the search process. The Cedar Rapids-based firm already handles Keokuk's contract negotiations.

So I'd boldly let myself go the past few months when I took a break from Original Bootcamp. The not caring and eating everything in sight part was fantastic. The putting on weight and feeling the extra fat coming back, not so much. Hey, choices.
Started with Buddy Day at Padang Astaka last Saturday. They brought some of the toys out including the legendary Big Bertha! Was a lot of fun, a lot of people, a lot of mud, a lot of everything!
Getting chummy with Big Bertha
In my eagerness to return, I think I overdid it. Tore my thighs, couldn't walk properly over the weekend, still ouching here and there. Then it was a brand new session this morning, wow I could really feel the results of 4 months of inactivity!
I know it will get better for sure. On a semi-related self-reminder note, need to buy more Dettol body wash. Bootcamp's the only reason I shower using Dettol, heh. Ah, welcome back to the life!
Anyway if you've not seen the awesome Original Bootcamp promo video, here it is!

love is the only one in which the creature can respond
to the Creator and make
some sort of similar return however unequal
though it be.

all he desires
is to be loved in return.
The sole purpose of his love is to be loved, in the knowledge that those who love him are made happy by their love of him."
