The Grady Journal
What happens when a medical school opens a new campus within a major state university? What if that state university is the flagship institution for a state in desperate need of more medical professionals?
From the dean down through the first students, from a temporary location into a brand new campus, the new MCG-UGA Medical Partnership will affect all aspects of life in Athens - the students, the faculty, the administration, the hospitals and the residents.
Through a series of documentaries, students in the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication's Health and Medical Journalism program are exposing what the new school will mean to the community and the state.

So President Obama has taken to the road to promote health care reform. Along the way he held a town hall meeting in Green Bay Wisconsin where he got an interesting request. His questioner mentioned bringing his daughter to the event, causing her to miss the last day of school. In response, President Obama offered to write a letter to the girl's teacher to excuse the absence. In fact, the President did write the note which is pictured above. You can see the exchange right here:

Some Manatee County residents are still skeptical about the support the county is throwing behind a Sarasota County event, and rowing officials hope to win those residents over.
The 2017 World Rowing Championship has a $7.7 million operating budget, with most of that -- $5.5 million -- split between Manatee and Sarasota counties' bed taxes. Property taxes were not used or affected.
The Suncoast Aquatic Nature Center Associates is obligated to repay the county, along with paying back state grants if the venue doesn't produced more than $25 million in state sales tax revenue from July 1 through Dec. 30, 2018. The state awarded two $5 million grants to the nonprofit.
The championship itself does not generate an overwhelming amount of revenue. The 2017 event is expected to break even or have a "slight surplus," said Glenn Merry, chief executive officer of U.S. Rowing.
So, expecting a $7.7 million event to bring in $15 million would be unrealistic by those estimates.
"Everything in the budget has been solid and well thought out," Merry said. "Some of those aspects, they have big swing factors to it and I think they've done a lot to mitigate the exposure to SANCA."
Revenue will come from selling television and merchandising rights, spon
sorships and tickets, Merry said.
"When you put the bid together, you're often four or five years out, and a lot of things change over time," Merry said. "Even things like currency exchange, because the things you're guaranteeing are in European currencies, whether Swiss francs or euros. So those things could be impactful."
Area leaders are focusing on the economic impact numbers and hotel stays to boost tax revenue. Sarasota County officials say holding 10 regattas a year at Benderson Park would generate $12 million in spending at local businesses and hotels annually, and the 2017 event would churn out $24 million for the area and $12 million in direct spending for the region.
"Every time we have a team that comes down, they actually pay for the tourist bed taxes that develops all of this," said Paul Blackketter, SANCA chief executive. "The more teams that come, the more bed tax we generate and the more events we can have. "
Each major team for worlds could send about 86 athletes to the region, Merry said.
"Once they're here, they're going to see the benefits and want to come back," he said.
The majority of the $40 million venue is paid by tourists when they stay at area hotels and resorts as part of the "bed tax."
"You don't think having Harvard here is a good thing? It's a great thing," Blackketter said. "It's an investment because they love this area. Year after year, each kid rolls through here and makes it their winter home. They know Sarasota-Bradenton as a destination and one day they're going to invest and reinvest and open up a business."
Manatee County-based Benderson Development has the most to gain from the 2017 race. Benderson, which headquarters on Cooper Creek Boulevard, owns much of the retail space on the Manatee and Sarasota county side of University Parkway, along with hotels, additional planned hotels and a mall under construction to create jobs for the area to complement the rowing venue.
The company has a shared-use agreement for the northern 101 acres of Benderson Park with Sarasota County and helped set the vision for the rowing venue. The park was named after the late Nathan Benderson, father to Benderson Development President Randy Benderson.
In a rare public speech, Benderson said: "My father is so happy right now."
"For us, it's bigger than our dream was," he said about the rowing championship. "To be representing the USA means so much to us."
Parrish place in rowing
Because there is only so much water at Benderson Lake, teams will spend time and money in Manatee County's Fort Hamer Park, Blackketter said. Fort Hamer will host more local events as national and international rowing events are booked at Benderson Park.
"Fort Hamer will become one of the main training locations," Blackketter said.
Beyond the Olympic training, Fort Hamer hosts Harvard and more than 15 colleges training there during the winter, he said.
Manatee County high schools are already expanding programs and using the site, providing a great opportunity for youth sports, and now SANCA wants to establish a masters rowing program in Parrish for ages 21 and up.
The use isn't limited to sculls, Blackketter said. More dragon boats, kayaks and canoes will come to the park as well, plus a paddlefest event will be held at Fort Hamer.
Blackketter said he reads criticism from folks who post comments online about the rowing venue. One is how rowing is for rich folk as economic officials praise the "high demographic" families who will be coming to the area.
The rowing community is doing its part to be inclusive, he said. Benderson Development donates money to rowing clubs for scholarships for low-income children, Blackketter said, and SANCA already has a strong outreach to people from all backgrounds.
"Anybody can get in and row," Blackketter said. "The community has to be involved. This is a sport that has great scholarships. Once the community actually becomes part of it and gets involved, then they support it by that way."
The success could be seen at a recent rowing orientation held by the Manatee County Youth Rowing Club.
Coach Trish Jackson said more than 100 students from Palmetto, Southeast and Manatee high schools attended the orientation Saturday, and a waiting list exists for middle school rowing teams.
The way Blackketter sees it, having the high schools using the same course as Ivy League colleges is a point of pride for the region.
"Right now, Palmetto High rows next to Harvard," Blackketter said. "It's pretty incredible."

How Humans Impact the Environment
As a human living on the earth, you expect it to last for at least another billion years, right? Think again. In reality, the world is slowly fading. Why? Because of the human's race. It is because of our actions have an impact on the environment? We do this in many ways.
One of the ways we impact the environment is landfills. A landfill is a place where humans dump their waste. Human's do not care what they throw away and will throw away anything without a thought to the impact it will have on the enviroment. Even if the item can be recycled, humans still throw it out. These landfills take part in releasing harmful toxins and chemicals into the air polluting the air as well as the ground. The idea of a landfill is not always bad, but the way humans fill them up is the cause of the problem.
A simple way that humans affect the environment is water pollution. This is a familiar term to most, but what does it mean? Water pollution is when toxins or chemicals find their way in water. There can be many different ways that these toxins and chemical find their way into the water. When these chemicals find their way to water, they can do many harmful things to the water. It can kill or harm the animals that live under the water. Not only that, but it can put human's health at risk as well.
Air pollution is also a way humans impact the environment. Air pollution is when chemicals and toxins make their way into the air that humans breathe. Humans pollute the air by burning off fossil fuel, spraying chemicals, and more. Humans do this when they drive cars, spray crops, burn things, and many others. Also, air pollution not only affects our health and the world around us, but the wildlife as well. The harmful chemicals and toxins that are being put it to the air also affect the ozone layer. Without an ozone layer humans will be in harm's way every day. Smoking also affects the environment. Smoking not only harms the human that are doing it but harms the environment by polluting the air.
Deforestation effects the environment as well. Deforestation is when humans clear a forest or wooded area to make more space for them or to simply have wood to build things. This not only takes animals from their home, but harms the human's water cycle and oxygen level. "Due to deforestation, the planet's forests have shrunk by half its area in the past 11,000 years", says Jean Scheid.
These are the ways that humans affect the environment that they live in. To find out more information on this topic Click Here.

I liked how you asked questions in your writing. It made me stop and think about this stuff, and if I do any of it. In the paragraph about landfills, I think you should say most humans throw stuff away without thinking about the effects on the Earth. I think this because some humans like myself do recycle and pay attention to what we throw away and recycle. All in all, that was a great piece of work and really put things in my perspective well.February 5th, 2012 at 7:01 pm

Snow Sculpting Competion Results, January, 2013
Annual Snow Sculpture Competition January 25-27, 2013
Jackson is the site of the annual New Hampshire's Snow Sculpting Competition, to be held January 25-27, 2013. Each team of two or three people begins with a cylinder shaped block of snow 4 feet in diameter by 8 feet tall to create their snow sculptures. Teams begin sculpting on Friday, and continue working all day and sometimes through the night on Saturday to complete their sculptures for the judging at noon on Sunday. Sculptures are judged based on creativity, technique and message.
This annual event draws artist teams from across a four-state region to compete for the Overall and the People's Choice Awards. The NH State Champion is selected only from sculptures completed by teams who live or work in New Hampshire. The National Championships are held each year in Lake Geneva, WI, where the George Grady Jr. 2012 winning team is representing NH this winter. Other states which hold championships each year include New York, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Alaska. The winning team at the Nationals is eligible to represent the US at international competitions offered by sanctioned member countries such as Canada, Norway, Switzerland, France, Italy, Japan, China, and Russia.
The Inn at Ellis River is happy to help sponsor this unique Jackson event. A two-person team will be staying at the Inn, and all the competitors will find our homemade cookies and lip balm in their welcome bags.
Come See Ice Carving & Snow Sculpture Competitions in Jackson, NH
January brings out a variation on White Mountain artists ~ our brave sculptors of ice and snow! The Wentworth, here in Jackson, will host the 18th annual Great Ice Carvers of New England Invitational Ice Carving Competition on Monday, January, 7, 2013. The challenge begins at 10:00 am, and competitors have until 1:00 pm to create works of art from 300 pound blocks of ice. Chisels, picks, even chain saws make the ice chips fly, and blow torches smooth edges to create animals, birds, mythological figures and other flights of fantasy.
Pictured are some of the 2012 creations, which, like Frosty the Snowman, vanished with the first thaw. New this year is a People's Choice Award, so plan to stop by the Wentworth to see the ice sculptures beginning next week. They will be on display on the porch (with special lighting at night) as long as arctic temperatures allow.
Competitors in the New Hampshire Snow Sculpture event will have longer for their competition later this month – from Friday, January 25 until noon Sunday, January 27, 2013. We'll post more about this upcoming competition soon.
It's time to plan you holiday getaway to New Hampshire's White Mountains!
Snowflakes are falling in Jackson, and soon we will be surrounded by a winter wonderland. Ski areas at Bretton Woods, Wildcat, and Cranmore are open! The Inn at Ellis River has packages for all kinds of holiday getaways – before Christmas, plan a Shopping Getaway, or a just a Midweek Escape from pre-holiday stress.

Milk Chocolate Fudge ~ Our Gift for the Jingle Bell Chocolate Tour
The Jingle Bell Chocolate Tour returns to Jackson, NH, for Thanksgiving weekend through the weekend of December 22, 2012, with a festive sleigh ride through the village that stops at inns and shops for chocolate treastures. One of the Five Tasty Tours in the Granite State named by the Concord Insider, this popular holiday event combines two holiday favorites ~ a sleigh ride and chocolate. The Tour departs from Nestlenook Farm and circles the village loop with stops at the Inn at Jackson, Backcountry Bakery, The Wentworth, J-Town Deli and Country Store, the Snowflake Inn and Flossie's General Store.
The Inn at Ellis River's two night package includes two tickets for the Tour and a gift our homemade milk chocolate fudge. (A limited number of one night packages are available). We hope you will jingle your way into the holidays with this special sleigh ride, but if you can't, here's the recipe for our Milk Chocolate Fudge:
- 1 12 ounce can evaporated milk
- 4 cups sugar
- 1/4 pound (1 stick) margarine or butter
- 2 4.2 ounce bars Hershey's Special Dark chocolate
- 2 4.4 ounce bars Hershey's Milk Chocolate
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 7 ounce jar marshmallow whip
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Place evaporated milk, sugar, and margarine or butter in a large saucepan. Stir together over moderate heat until margarine is melted and ingredients are combined. Bring to boil and boil exactly 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add chocolate bars and chocolate chips gradually, stirring constantly. When chocolate is completely combined with the milk mixture, add marshmallow whip and vanilla and stir until fudge is a uniform color. Pour into a 9×13 inch pan and refrigerate until firm.
Let it snow! Guess when we'll have our first snowfall in Jackson, NH?
November is here, and our thoughts at the Inn at Ellis River turn to snowflakes, skiing, sleigh rides, and our winter wonderland. This year the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce is holding a contest to predict the date and time of the first 6 inch snowfall in one continuous storm. The winner receives half of the proceeds, and half will be donated to support the Mount Washington Observatory and the New Hampshire Sanctioned Snow Sculpting Competition here in the village January 27-29, 2013.
Tickets are $2 each and can be purchased from the Inn or the Chamber. We're thinking SNOW, so if you book a new reservation for a stay between November 9, and December 22, we'll include an entry in the contest ~ just say 'Let it Snow' when you make your reservation (or put in the comments section if you book online), and tell us the date and time you want to pick for your entry in hour and 15 minute intervals – for example November 9 at 2:15 PM, December 1 at 10:30 AM, etc. (Here's a hint ~ in 2011, we had a foot of snow to celebrate Thanksgiving weekend.) Official measurement will be in a location by the Chamber office, and you can check progress on a webcam they will be installing there. The Mount Washington Observatory also offers a number of webcam views of Mt. Washington and environs.
If we don't have a big snowstorm in the next two weeks – or even if we do – Black Mountain Ski Area has plans for their Biggest Snow Dance on Saturday, November 17, 2012, from 4 -8 PM, so if you want to hedge your bet, be sure to pick a time and day soon after that for luck. The Record Breaking Snow Dance at Black Mountain will feature Snow Dancer Carlene from Symmetree Yoga, music by the Revtones, a bonfire, plus food and beverages in the Lostbo Pub. Plan to come and set your feet tapping and flakes to falling that Saturday. (To participate in the record breaking dance, please be at Black Mountain by 4:45 PM). Let it snow, Let It Snow, LET IT SNOW!
Halloween is coming, so visit Cranmore Mountain's Ghoulog on your weekend getaway!
Every year, Cranmore Mountain turns into a frightful place on weekends in October with their Ghoulog. What's a ghoul? According to folklore, it's a monster that resides in graveyards and similar uninhabited places whose favorite snack is human flesh. Then what is a Ghoulog? A frightful hour-long experience that leads the unsuspecting through a series of dark rooms, mazes, and other scary places where the macabre lurks. This year, Cranmore Mountain's nightmarish extravaganza is located indoors in a secret location reached by shuttle from their base lodge. If the Ghoulog isn't frightful enough, those seeking the ultimate terror are invited to experience The Cult of the Ghoulog, which includes a trip up the chairlift to Cranmore's summit. Hungry for even more adventure? The Haunted Playground transforms their Zipline, Mountain Coaster and Giant Swing into scary Halloween-themed rides under the stars, and an outdoor food court and the Bloody Noose Pub offer refreshments for humans instead of ghouls.
So plan to add some White Mountain fright to your late October weekend getaway with a ghoulish adventure at Cranmore Mountain. Advance reservations are strongly advised. Tickets for the Ghoulog are $25, or plan to visit both the Haunted Playground and Ghoulog for $46. The Cult experience is $30 per person. For full information on dates, times and restrictions, please visit the Cranmore Mountain website.
Pumpkin People Have Returned to Jackson, New Hampshire
For the 25th year, Jackson is celebrating the "Return of the Pumpkin People", with over 70 displays for everyone to enjoy. You'll find Pumpkin Man in the Mountains, Angry Birds, Circus clowns, the Grinch, ET, artists, leaf peepers in a pickup, Sesame Street favorites, plus many other movie, TV, and fairy tale characters. It often takes several weeks to create each display, which must use real pumpkins for the heads of characters. Visit the Pumpkin People in Jackson, Hart's Location, Bartlett, Glen, Intervale, and North Conway, NH, on a self-guided tour ~ each official host property is marked on the map available at the inn or from the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce. You can vote for you favorites for the "People's Choice" award.
Since it is the 25th anniversary celebration, the Inn at Ellis River is hosting an Anniversary Ball where Pumpkinella charms her Prince Pumpkin. Like many of our guests who love to return to the inn again and again, some pumpkin people from past years have come back too, and are celebrating at this gala event. It wouldn't be October without Fiona, our favorite Maid! She's on duty passing out champagne at the ball. Remember one year when Fiona had to bring extra pillows to the Princess who could feel a little pumpkin under all those mattresses? She and her Prince are now King and Queen, reigning over the ball. Then there was the year of Fionarella, when she hoped her prince would come. She tried on the glass slipper while her jealous stepsisters and her stepmother watched in dismay. The stepmother and stepsisters have returned to dance again, still hoping that Prince Pumpkin's heart can be won. The Prince seems to have eyes only for his Pumpkinella, but thankfully there is a gallant noble willing to dance with the stepsister. The chandelier twinkles and the dance goes on until October 21, so be sure to come to this gala ball!
It's Time for the Fryeburg Fair ~ Maine's Blue Ribbon Classic
Foliage season in the White Mountains means it's time for the Fryeburg Fair, September 30 – October 7, 2012. The biggest agricultural fair in Maine began 162 years ago, organized by the West Oxford Agricultural Society which includes 16 towns in Western Maine and 6 in Eastern New Hampshire. It's a family-oriented country fair with livestock events, harness racing, a steer and oxen show, carnival, concerts each evening, and more.
The Farm Museum depicts almost 250 years of history since the settlement of Fryeburg in the 1760s. Almost all the early crafts and activities needed for the challenging life in the White Mountains are represented there ~ not just farming, but also lumbering and log driving, blacksmithing, harness making, cider pressing, carpentry, ice cutting, maple syrup making, candle making, and more. Butter and ice cream are made the old-fashioned way, and food is cooked on a wood stove.
Monday's events at the Fair include the Woodmen's Day and the Skillet Toss competitions; the Grand Parade starring the livestock is held on Saturday morning. Food is always a highlight, whether it's sampling the Fair's french fries with vinegar or a stop at the new Special Foods Pavilion with 30 vendors. You'll want to enjoy the many local artisans and organizations who have booths offering food, crafts, and fun as well. A visit to the Fryeburg Fair is a great addition to your leap-peeping plans in the North Conway – Jackson area.
Mt. Washington Valley's Bach Festival is August 24-26, 2012.

For full program details, please visit the Festival's website.
Once a year you can dance on the covered bridge in Jackson
The covered bridge over the Ellis River at the entrance to Jackson, New Hampshire has been a symbol of the village for over a century, and Saturday, August 4, you can put on your dancing shoes and come to the annual COVERED BRIDGE DANCE from 6 pm 'til midnight. Tap your toes or just sit and listen under the stars to Jon Sarty & The White Mountain Boys. Enjoy this free event ~ only in Jackson can we have our old fashioned community block party on a covered bridge!
Constructed by Charles Broughton and his son Frank Broughton about 1876, the 'Honeymoon Bridge' is a favorite of both photographers and romantics who steal a traditional good luck kiss (or two…). The Broughtons used their carpentry skills to build the Paddleford truss structure with added arches, which is just over 121 feet long with a clear span of 103 feet. The 16 foot wide roadway means some vehicles wait politely to cross if a car is already on the bridge. The photographs highlight the Paddleford truss design which was popular for bridges in northern New Hampshire and Vermont in the 19th century. The walkway on the north side of the bridge was added about 1930, and the bridge restored in 2004. It is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
The White Mountains of New Hampshire are home to many covered bridges, including others designed with the Paddleford truss. See our Covered Bridges Circuit Itinerary for a suggested tour of some of them within an hour's drive of the Inn at Ellis River.
Add a Mt. Washington, NH sunrise to your bucket list!
What can be more spectacular than standing on the top of the highest mountain in the Northeast and seeing the sunrise over the mountains and valleys to the east? In the pre-dawn darkness of Sunday, August 26, you'll start up the Mt. Washington Auto Road, just 13 miles north of the Inn at Ellis River, and reach the top in time to await the new day. Plan ahead, since there are only three times each summer when you can drive up the auto road yourself to witness this spectacle ~ the last Sunday mornings in June, July and August. The opening time for the Auto Road is different each month to allow for the changing seasons: 4 pm on July 29, 2012, and 4:30 am on August 26, 2012. The inn will provide you with a voucher that will let your passenger ride free ($25 charge for auto and driver) and a romantic continental breakfast picnic to enjoy.
New at the Mount Washington Auto Road this year is another option if you would like photograph the mountain top sunrise or sunset: Guided Photography Tours, led by photographer Ernie Mills, offers three hour tours every Friday. The cost for the Guided Photography Tour is $150. Here are some photos by Ernie Mills to inspire you. It's a bucket list must!
It's time to Seek The Peak July 21 and hike Mount Washington!
Seek the Peak is an annual event to support the Mount Washington Observatory by hiking to the summit of Mt. Washington. It's not a race, so you can choose any trail and any pace you wish to reach the top. Mt. Washington has some of the worst weather in the world, but some of the best views, too. On a clear day, you look east from the summit across Maine all the way to the Atlantic, north to Canada, and west to the Green Mountains of Vermont and the Adirondacks beyond.
Seek the Peak is the biggest fund raiser for The Observatory, which is a private, non-profit organization that maintains the weather station at the summit, conducts research and educational programs and helps interpret the heritage of the Mount Washington region. In addition to recording and disseminating weather information, it serves as a benchmark location for many types of severe weather research.
Since 2001, Seek the Peak has raised nearly $1,000,000 for the Observatory. Participants enjoy a kick off party in North Conway, NH on Friday evening, tours of the Observatory at the summit and a post-hike celebration complete with live music, a turkey dinner and lots of raffle prizes. For more information and to register, visit the Seek the Peak website. We make a donation to the Observatory for each of our guests who Seek the Peak, so plan your hike and book your stay for the weekend of July 20-22, 2012, at the Inn at Ellis River now!
Enjoy a historic walking tour of Jackson, NH, June 23, when Art in Bloom pairs White Mountain art and flower show.
Visit the shops, inns and historic buildings of Jackson Village on the Art in Bloom Walking Tour June 23, 2012, combining exhibits of local artists with floral arrangements inspired by each piece of art. The free self-guided tour begins at the Jackson Public Library, and continues to Ravenwood Curio Shoppe, the Snowflake Inn, the Whitney Community Center, Jackson Historical Society, and the Wentworth. A brochure will include a map and descriptions of the locations, artwork and floral arrangements. A shuttle is available for those who do not wish to walk the complete route.
Featured White Mountain artists include Erik Koeppel, Dorothy Rogers, Nathan Macomber, Jean Damp, David Baker, Melanie Leavitt, and Molly Wensberg. Each piece of art will be paired with a floral arrangement specially created to compliment its color and style by a member of the Mountain Garden Club. There is no better way to 'Stop and smell the roses' with a June weekend getaway, so come to Jackson and make the Inn at Ellis River your lodging choice for this annual event.
Make the Inn at Ellis River's Savory Crepes Caprese for a breakfast treat!
We had great fun at the Annual Inn to Inn Herb Tour this past weekend. The herb we featured was basil, and guests enjoyed it in Lemon Basil Coffee Cake and our savory egg entree with sweet basil at breakfast, and in some wonderful homemade lemonade flavored with lemon basil and Basil Pignoli Bites with Pesto for afternoon refreshments.
We learned a lot of fun facts about basil. In Greek, it means "royal,", in India, it is a symbol of hospitality, and in Italy, a symbol of love. What a perfect combination of meanings ~ part of the inn's hospitality is to prepare your food with love!
Sweet basil typically is used in Italian food: the most common Mediterranean cultivars are "Genovese", "Purple Ruffles", "Mammoth", "Cinnamon", "Lemon", "Globe", and "African Blue". The round, often pointed leaves of the basil plant looks a lot like peppermint to which it is related. Basil is an annual easily grown from seed, and is not frost tolerant at all, so don't plant it too early when cold weather may be possible. It needs full sun, and more moisture than some herbs, so keep it watered; especially in pots. As colder weather approaches, you can bring basil inside as a window herb if you plant the seeds in the late summer in pots and set them in a bright sunny window. Be sure to pinch the tops of your plants so they won't flower – flowering will stop their growth. Harvest just before you start your recipe for maximum flavor.
There's still time to grow some basil in your own garden or herb pot this summer, and enjoy it fresh in the Inn at Ellis River's Savory Crepes Caprese.
Enjoy a White Mountain Getaway & Chocolate Tour in June!
Enjoy sleigh bells in shorts when Jackson NH's Jingle Bell Chocolate Tour makes an encore at Christmas in June! If you can't visit in December now is the time to enjoy this horse drawn sleigh ride that begins at Nestlenook, then circles the village loop stopping at stores and inns where the proprietors will meet you with specially prepared chocolate treats for you to enjoy. Instead of putting on the snowshoes or skis, you can work off those calories with a summertime hike at Glen Ellis Falls or Great Glen Trails, then finish the afternoon with a dip in Jackson Falls or our heated pool and a Holiday Beverage Tasting at the Inn at Thorn Hill or the Holiday Cookie Tasting here at the Inn at Ellis River. Reservations are required for the Chocolate Tour, offered June 9 and 16 from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm at a cost of $25 per person. Best of all, book our Christmas in June Package that includes a two night stay, two tickets on the Tour, plus the Cookie Tasting and recipe cards for a delicious weekend getaway to the Mount Washington Valley in the heart of the White Mountains.
Come enjoy a White Mountain Inn to Inn Herb Tour June 2-3!
The Inn at Ellis River will offer basil on the 2012 Inn to Inn Herb Tour. We've created special breakfast, appetizer and dessert recipes, plus a tasty summer drink to enjoy, so plan your weekend getaway to New Hampshire now! Your foodie vacation includes visiting 10 Country Inns in the White Mountains to learn all about the herbs we are featuring — their uses, and history, plus sampling tasty treats and taking home a starter garden of seeds and a binder full of recipes and herbal lore.
You probably know that basil is popular in Mediterranean, Asian and South Asian cuisines, but did you know it has been grown for over 5,000 years? In Greek, it means "royal,", so it has been called the "king of herbs". In India, it is a valued symbol of hospitality, and in Italy, a symbol of love. We can't think of a better herb to feature ~ what could be a better match than the inn's hospitality and recipes prepared with love?
We'll be using two of the over two dozen types of basil for the tour ~ sweet basil and lemon basil. Basil is great as a fresh herb to pair with tomatoes or eggplant, and it combines well with other herbs like oregano, thyme, parsley, and chives. Basil and garlic are a natural combo ~ just think about all the variations of pesto! Did you know that basil is healthy for you, too? It's a good tasting source of vitamin A, magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, and vitamin C.
Here are some easy ways to use this great summer herb:
Add lemon basil to your favorite lemon bread, coffee cake or muffin recipe.
Mix fresh chopped sweet basil with garlic to top grilled salmon.
At the last minute, add basil to summer stir-fries that include eggplant, zucchini and tomatoes.
Plan a Memorial Day Getaway to New Hampshire!
Whether you want to cheer for one of the 3,500 rubber ducks racing down Jackson Falls at the Wildquack Festival, or just want to go swimming in our outdoor heated pool, summer is here in the White Mountains!

Meet both Ima and Chuck in our atrium where they sometimes swim in the hot tub, along with Mr. Quackers, who lost the 2011 race when he stopped to sunbathe on a rock instead of swimming with the flock.

Dodge Sprinter Electrical Problems
sprintertech Posts: 5the 2007 sprinters have a problem withe the inline fuse in the battery cable from the alt. to the starter,i have seen several cases of poor charging,causing the batteries to die or not have enough voltage to start the van.check for corosion at the cable and replace if needed.
ticktocker Posts: 2I had a similar problem on a friday evening after a long day of service calls with no problem. Had the vehicle towedand waited till monday to find out it was the negative battery cable. Resistance was high. I did notice the cable was warm but did not realize it was the problem as connections were all clean and the cable looked sound. Paid almost $400.00 for a 12 inch cable. Hope this solves problem if you have not already found other problem
lifttech Posts: 2A popular problem with a no start, no crank condition is the failure/locking up of your WCM(Wireless Control Module) also refered to as a SKREEM module (Sentry Key Remote Entry Module). ***You may be able to temporarliy unlock/ reset this by disconnecting and reconnecting the negative battery terminal.*** The condition happens in cold/dry weather conditions and has to due with electrostatic discharge from the ignition key to the WCM (see above). This conditioned is corrected by replacing the WCM $800- $1000 parts & labor:(
This directly ties into the remote keyless entry so use the key only to open and lock the doors. Do not use the key fob.
jimd2007 Posts: 3recently had my a problem with my Van that sounds just like the Battery Cable issue. I drove the van a full day on Thursday, Friday morning I started the van as normal drove for about 15 miles and parked the van to get a coffee. When getting back in the van I turned the key and it would not start. the lights and radio worked but would not crank at all.
Called the Chrysler business link and had it towed to the shop.
They seemed to have no clue as to the problem could be but seemed to be convinced it was a fuel issue. I pointed out that if I had bad fuel wouldn't the engine still crank and just not start. They told me this was a "good point". they seem to believe it is a bad starter and have ordered a new one. Now the problem is this: The van broke down on December 19. they might have a new starter by this week December 31st but told me it could take as long as January 5th.
If i have to wait for a new starter and then find out it is just the cable I am really gonna flip.
My husband recently purchased a Dodge Sprinter van with a Mercedes diesel and one day he was out working all day and it was fine. He came home and was inside for about an hour and when he went to leave again, he cranked up and then shut off. That is all it does not. We took it to Dodge and they hooked it up to their machine and it came back that there was a problem with the ECM. We sent the ECM off to be repaired and it came back to us as having no problems. We also changed a sensor in it and that did not help. All it does it crank up and idle for a couple of seconds and then shuts down. We have had several mechanics look at this truck and everyone is stumped. PLEASE HELP! He needs to get back to work and it's been 3 weeks!!!! ANY IDEAS!!????
sailorgary Posts: 1Have a 2004 Sprinter 2500 series. One day turn signals just quit working. All of them at quit once. The 6 light bulbs are all OK (4 corners plus the 2 side fender makers ) because they all work when the 4 way emergency flasher is activated. I removed the 4-way flasher module (located at bottom right side of the fuse block on the steering column) and the flashers stopped. Re-inserted it and the flashers work. Still no turn signals. Replaced it with a new one from the dealer--still no turn signals and am stuck with an extra un-necessary spare part.
I searched the owners manual and all of the tags and labels on each fuse , on both the fuse blocks in the steering column and the fuse block under the drivers seat--NOWHERE is any fuse marked for the TURN SIGNAL.
Ae there any fuses for the turn signals?
Where are they?
Does the 4 way flasher module unit at the bottom right side of the steering column also control the turn signals--it has 5 electrical contact prongs--3 parallel and 2 horizontal--so it may do more than "flash" but the dealer is clueless
Is there any other fuse block in another location?
The local dealer hs no clue.on any of this.
jeralee Posts: 1After spending $2K to fix my sprinter RV (diesel), I put the key in the ignition and it kicked over once, then showed "error" with a number on the dash and won't start. I detached the negative battery cable, waited, re-attached it. Same result.
Brief history of my issue:
During rainy season, lights started to turn themselves on this the middle of the night and ran the battery down. After recharging it 3 times, took it to Dodge dealer. They said battery cell dead. Replaced for $350.
Next morning, dead again. Dodge said, "It must be a drain from the coach." Spent 3 weeks at coach dealer, no problems with coach electrical but lights still turned themselves on.
Back to Dodge. They said tail light was out and was improper light causing short and triggered problem. Cost about $300 for diagnosis and light replacement. When I paid my bill, they couldn't start it to bring the vehicle to me. They said the ignition wasn't recognizing my key. Some module was replaced $1240 to repair.
Home for less than 24 hours. I just went out to park it on the RV pad and first paragraph tells what happened.
WHAT DO I DO NOW? This thing can sink me financially! Who has the real expertise to find & fix the problem if the dealer is failing?
HELP!!! I can't afford this! Should the dealer be taking some responsibility for the cost from here?
Time to move these issues up the Dodge food chain.
This dealer is just guessing with you paying for the wrong guesses.
There is no possible issue with the coach that could have
affected the lighting / starting on the Sprinter. Wrong light bulb?
Give me a break. Demand the old parts. Sprinter parts
are way to expensive to just guess and swap.
My 06 had a flaky fuse block that had to be replaced.
It could be something as simple as that.
Please post a follow up and let us know what happens.
I think you have a same problem like one guy in chicago.
Dealer change fuel pump a new ECU $3000 total. And sprinter doesn work. Is waiting at the Dealer for ? extra money a they will not fix anything.
try to change fuse box,
try to take a look for anti block brake.
(locking differencial) diferencial is still on , it shut be off- but power is on (for resintence).if ECU will detect during driving dif. lock ,fuel pump will disconect fuel.
I am not mechanic-- email@example.com

Thanks! However, I think the truck is just a P.O.S.!!
We purchased a new ECM for mega $$$$ and the truck started right up. Then after 2 weeks, same thing. ECM went bad AGAIN! So, now they wouldn't just exchange the ECM. They had to send it off to get looked at to see if the problem is the ECM or if it's the truck that is making the ECM go bad. Twice the same thing... I think it's the truck. I'm totally lost here. They said I can buy another ECM and if they find out that there was a problem with the other one, then they will reimburse me the money. Or I can just wait 90 days for them to figure it out. I'm just going to fix it and get rid of it. I just bought another work truck. I've completely given up on this Sprinter Van.
firefighterjoe Posts: 3I have and 07 International Dt570 with air over hydraulics that i am working on. The problem is that i dont have brake lights. now keep in mind that this is a fire truck and nothing is easy to find on these trucks. I found the brake 12v wire running to the lights and put 12v to it and the brakes work. telling me the that the wires are good from there back. Checked all the relays and fuses. all good. Now i cant trace the wires back from the point that i tested from because it runs into a huge wire loom that has all the wires for lights and sirens. that is a box of monkeys that i just dont want to open. Now i believe it may be a possible brake switch problem, but finding that is almost caused me to go crazy... or atleast closer to it. if someone would point me in the right direction i would be in your debt.. thanks
sprinterguru Posts: 24The plastic step has several little square plugs that are hiding the torx head bolts that retain the step to the body. Look closely in the tread and you will see the outline of the square plug. Take a sharp ice pick or other thin blade tool and tap it into the seam, you can pry these up they just snap in. Remove the screws underneath and the step will come right up. There is one screw near the front that is not in the tread it is hidden by a round plug. You will see it if you look.
When I replaced mine. I used the orginal horn circuit to activate the new horn's
relay and then ran a direct fused line to the battery to supply current for the
horn. This avoided having to mess with the truck wiring and allows the orginal
horn to be replaced if necessary.

In this thought provoking feature, Romesh Bhattacharji discusses the importance of taking time to slowly explore the beauty of the Himalaya and surroundings by motorcycle. He also shares with us some mountain motorcycle routes in India, and his motorcycling experiences in the 1970s. Romesh can be contacted by email at email@example.com
Every year, countless motorcycles go tearing through the Himalaya, the Zanskar, and sometimes touching the Trans Himalaya. They're none the wiser about the giant mountain systems they pierce through, on roads that have been built with so much sacrifice and labor.
They create records like Delhi to Khardung La and back in 82 hours! With digital cameras having made photography easy for morons even, beautiful photographs are immediately put on countless web sites. Continuing the fetish for publicity, larger and larger groups go "raiding" (an obnoxious and disrespectful word) the Himalaya.
Every year a TV documentary or two also crops up. All have interviews exaggerating the difficulties met, and very little of the magnificent views of the mountains, lakes and passes.
I recently saw a TV program of some motorcyclists talking of the "incredible" feats that they had done. One of them, speaking to the camera from Kunzum La, was saying that the road was rough and sometimes non existent! This statement was wrong. The road is 34 years old, with a daily bus service for more than two decades. Some friends and I had motorcycled on this road in October 1975.
There is no need to pad stories with such exaggerations. This happens only when little knowledge of the mountains is inversely proportionate to one's ego. By rushing in and out, people miss out on many stunning topographical features.
I list a few mountain motorcycle routes in India, so that they can be noticed by some interested "marauders" later on.

More BMW 3-Series GT Pictures and New Outlook...
Yesterday I posted on the new BMW 3-Series GT and said that I am "quite a fan". Well I retract that statement after seeing more pictures today showing a standard version without the M sport pack. The pictures today reveal the ugly side of the car and I am not impressed! It looks like a small 5-Series GT and that is not good! Only thing I like is the active rear spoiler.

Squeezin' another (blog) in
I'm even more excited about the possibility of illustrating a book by American Book Award recipeint, Walter Wangerin. I just got off the phone with the publisher, and learned how I was chosen as the artist. Walter discoved Summer Sun Risin,' a book I illustrated for Lee and Low, while shopping at Barnes and Noble. He liked the farm scenes and made his request based simply on that alone, not because he needed/wanted/preferred a black artist. In fact, the characters in this book are midwestern, German caucasions. I don't mind getting work based upon race, it's the niche I've created for myself, it brings work my way. But it's a special compliment when I'm selected solely on the merits of my work.

AUGUSTA COUNTY -- Gov. Bob McDonnell approved a major expansion at a Valley plant. That means close to $30 million in upgrades to Hollister Inc., which makes medical supplies.
Some of the investment will go toward expanding the Hollister plant with 50,000 additional square feet. Most of the money will be used to automate parts of the manufacturing process with robotic equipment.
Hollister employs about 500 people and the upgrades will ensure that the jobs in the county stay there.
"Had the company chose somewhere other than Stuarts Draft, it's likely that jobs would have followed the investment. We're extremely pleased because we feel that not only do we get the investment but we were able to lock up long term the facility here in Augusta and protect the jobs that exist," said Dennis Burnett, with Augusta County Economic Development.
Hollister Inc. also got a $250,000 state grant. That grant is an incentive for Virginia companies to continue to invest in buildings within the state.

The Atlas Shrugged book on proper parenting
When little Aiden toddled up our daughter Johanna and asked to play with her Elmo ball, he was, admittedly, very sweet and polite. I think his exact words were, "Have a ball, peas [sic]?" And I'm sure you were very proud of him for using his manners.
To be sure, I was equally proud when Johanna yelled, "No! Looter!" right in his looter face, and then only marginally less proud when she sort of shoved him.
The thing is, in this family we take the philosophies of Ayn Rand seriously. We conspicuously reward ourselves for our own hard work, we never give to charity, and we only pay our taxes very, very begrudgingly.
Since the day Johanna was born, we've worked to indoctrinate her into the truth of Objectivism. Every night we read to her from the illustrated, unabridged edition of Atlas Shrugged--glossing over all the hardcore sex parts, mind you, but dwelling pretty thoroughly on the stuff about being proud of what you've earned and not letting James Taggart-types bring you down. For a long time we were convinced that our efforts to free her mind were for naught, but recently, as we've started socializing her a little bit, we've been delighted to find that she is completely antipathetic to the concept of sharing. As parents, we couldn't have asked for a better daughter.
That's why, when Johanna then began berating your son, accusing him of trying to coerce from her a moral sanction of his theft of the fruit of her labor, in as many words, I kind of egged her on. Even when Aiden started crying. -- Go read more of this hilarious post.

I hate to say this but the warriors are doomed. They won't ever have a player that makes the all star team. Even Baron Davis didn't get in in any years playing with us. We could be at .600 by AS, and we'll get snubbed again. I won't watch the all star game this year if were winning and don't get in. Imagine by the time the warriors have the downtown water arena and the all star game is there and were winning and still don't have an all star. Just really sad. But the warriors haven't had an all star since latrell sprewell since 97. sad.
