We don't often get Google TV updates, but they tend to be worth it when we do. The Honeycomb update was substantial, for example; with awesome UI improvement and Android Market (now Google Play Store) access. If you have been waiting for the next update, it is now being rolled to Sony Google TV devices. And according to Google TV Developers, the Logitech Revue should be next.
Updated hardware will be brought up to version 2.1.1. New enhancements include the ability to watch movies rented through Google Play and access to YouTube.com/movies via the YouTube app. Not much else was specified, but we are sure the update also includes the usual array of bug fixes and performance improvements.
Information on the Logitech updates was just as scarce. While the update is not here yet, Google TV Developers did mention there would be news on updates coming. So stay put, as your Logitech Revue is not quite dead yet.

They yearned for a restaurant close to their new home with interesting food,
a warm and inviting atmosphere, and great service. What they found was a
string of common chain restaurants, which fell short of the "wow" factor.
Thus, they spent years driving into Atlanta to satisfy their craving for
a unique dining experience. They knew they weren't the only people in Fayette
County in search of something more...
and there began the idea for Downtown Grill.
Great food is a way of life for John and Ashley. They both love to cook, and
appreciate recipes that blend unexpected ingredients. Their favorite hobby is
checking out all the top rated restaurants in Atlanta, and wherever their
travels take them. Food is an experience for them, and they are thrilled to
bring that to Fayette County.
John has been in the food business since he was a teenager, and loves to see
people enjoying a well prepared meal. He thrives on creating an atmosphere
where everybody who walks through the doors is important and welcome.
He is committed to using the highest quality ingredients in every menu item.
John's high standard of food and service is evident in every aspect of
Downtown Grill. We look forward to seeing you soon!

|Updated 11:05 p.m., Perrysburg boys win sectional title (3-1-13)
|Written by Mike Godfrey Sentinel Sports Writer
|Friday, 01 March 2013 21:55
"It was the most even match-up we've had the last couple of years," said Perrysburg coach Dave Boyce whose team improved to 15-8 on the year. "It took a lot of poise to just stay with it and grind it out to the end." PHOTO GALLERY
"It was rocky," said 'Jacket junior Nick Moschetti who had a game-high 19 points. "There were ups and downs, turnovers, runs."
"They're very athletic and they play defense well," added Boyce whose team converted a scant 14-of-41 (34 percent) of its field goals including just 3-of-11 from downtown.
The Little Giants, coached by Bowling Green High School graduate Mark Gedeon, ended their season at 14-9.
From the outset, the Little Giants were intent on getting the ball into the post where they scored eight of their 10 first quarter points.
Junior post Dylan Jagodzinski, the only Little Giant in double figures with 12 points, tallied six of his points in the opening quarter, a quarter that featured four lead changes and a tie.
Perrysburg, on Chris Schimmoeller's only hoop of the night with just two seconds left, held a 12-10 edge after the first eight minutes.
Ross junior Jack Gedeon, a key cog in the Little Giant arsenal whose foul difficulties limited his minutes, nailed a 3-pointer with 4:56 remaining in the half, providing his team its final lead of the night at 15-14. Following Moschetti's steal, one of Ross's 22 turnovers, Moschetti hit a trey at 4:10 giving the 'Jackets a lead, 17-14, they'd never relinquish.
Moschetti's theft, one of four he had in a span of 3:03 and one of the 15 Perrysburg steals on the night, permitted the 'Jackets to slow down the Little Giant inside game. Perrysburg nursed a 21-20 lead at the half.
"I think Nick Moschetti, for quite awhile, controlled the court almost with his defensive effort," said Boyce of his guard who sagged in to take away the post entry passes. "We felt Fremont Ross didn't have a great shooter with a great quick release, so we could be down a little further (toward the post) and still recover if they made the long pass."
"I'd been noticing that they were pounding it inside, so I was trying to sit on that (inside pass) when they were trying to throw it," said Moschetti, whose team held Ross to 15-of-38 (39 percent) shooting from the field.
Up 24-22 at the 5:03 mark of the third quarter, Perrysburg averted a deficit when Ross made just one of three free throws after a foul beyond the arc. The Little Giants could have tied the game on its next possession only to have Matt Kaczinski's score his only basket of the night on a coast-to-coast steal. Perrysburg managed a 32-28 lead after three quarters.
Ross got within 34-32 at the 4:49 mark, but the 'Jackets, who sank an impressive 17-of-21 (81 percent) from the charity stripe, including 10-of-12 in the fourth quarter, were able to keep the Little Giants at bay. Bryant Byrd knocked down 5-of-6 of the fourth quarter free throws.
Even with 1:49 left in the game, Ross was still within 40-36. Perrysburg, in the final 1:18, closed the game on an 8-0 run, started by Moschetti's driving layup.
"Playing with poise and our rebounding, those two things really kept us up," said Boyce, who credited Nate Patterson (10 points) for his strong play in the post. "In the end, we got one or two big shots, and then they missed a couple, and all of a sudden we got to the free-throw line and we made our free throws."
Perrysburg faces Anthony Wayne Thursday at 7 p.m. at Liberty-Benton High School in a district semifinal.
Mesker, 0-0—0; Byrd, 2-5—9; Q. Thomas, 0-0—0; Kaczinski, 1-0—2; Freeman, 0-0—0; Moschetti, 2-3-6—19; Vrzal, 0-0—0; Schimmoeller, 1-0—2; H. Thomas, 0-0—0; Edwards, 1-4—6; Patterson, 4-2—10; Cajka, 0-0—0. TOTALS: 11-3-17—48.

Update 3:37 p.m.: Police announced Friday afternoon that the accused turned himself into police on Oct. 5.
Original Post:
Prince William County Police have issued a warrant for a man in conjunction with a strangulation reported on Potomac Mills Road.
Police responded to the 14600 block of Potomac Mills Road at 11:40 p.m. Oct. 3 for a reported assault.
According to a police report, a 29-year-old Woodbridge woman reported she and a known acquaintance were involved in a physical altercation. Police reports said Anthony Eugene Wilson, 46, of no fixed address, allegedly walked up to the victim and punched her, knocking her to the ground.
"The victim attempted to run away but the accused caught up to her and knocked her to the ground a second time," said a press release from the department. "At this point, the accused got on top of the victim and began to strangle her. A witness to the incident was able to get the accused off of the victim. The accused left the area prior to police arrival."
Police said the victim sustained minor injuries. Following an investigation, police said a warrant was obtained against Wilson. Attempts to locate Wilson have been unsuccessful, according to police.
Wilson is described as a black male, 6-foot-6, 225 pounds of medium build, with black hair and brown eyes. Wilson is wanted for strangulation.

Rift PVP Warrior Champion Reaver 19 Black Garden
Twitter @mmogurl – twitter.com | Blog @ My 19 Warrior playing some Black Garden! She is mainly Champion with 7 pts into Reaver – check the very end for the build I'm using. @5 I show how to get the Strike Them Down achievement and where to find the power up needed for it. I'm still experimenting with her build and souls – Champion/Reaver is there to stay but the 3rd is still up in the air. So far I have enjoyed playing the Warrior far more than Cleric(as healers) or Rogue(as a sabo- BOOM!). Everything is more epic when you're listening to the GOW3 music Oh yeah – I figured out what the aspect ratio problem was and it was a combination of my recording software and my editing software. Since the original video is bad – there is no way to fix it. Next one will be right though

Our recent issue about What Knoxville Needs stirred up an old futuristic dream that won't die. We talk about it today in the same tones we used in the '60s when we talked about jet packs and hovercraft and computers.
A few weeks ago, a family wedding brought me to Charlotte, N.C., our sister city 230 miles to the east. We had plenty to keep us busy that weekend, but I let my family know that I couldn't leave town until I'd taken a ride on the light rail.
I'd heard something about it, several years ago: that it seemed quaint but pointless. I pictured it as something fun for the kids, sort of a Toonerville Trolley for the big city. It has expanded since then. When I gave it a spin, I was pretty well awed.
Five years old now, Charlotte's line is called the Lynx. Its cars run along just one line, from downtown to suburban areas south of the city, close to 10 miles in all.
It runs sometimes on the ground, sometimes on elevated tracks, but it operates just like a subway. If you're encumbered with an automobile, as I was, you park it for free, and buy your ticket before you board, two bucks, from a machine. Then you wait on a siding—it's never long, about 15 minutes—and the train whooshes up and stops, opens its doors, you get on quickly and go.
I was expecting something like the St. Charles Avenue streetcar. The Lynx reminded me much more of the Washington Metro. It's better than a subway, though, because you can see the scenery on the way. From the Lynx you can see that Charlotte's not the stark, modern city you see across the Interstate 85 guardrails, the concrete-and-glass-and-asphalt mirage of a city that grew too fast. From the Lynx, Charlotte shows off some of its interesting old industrial neighborhoods, some of which resemble Knoxville's.
It stops at each of 15 stations, several with names that sing: Tyvola, Scaleybark. "Bland Street" doesn't live up to its name, offering one of the more interesting views. There and at several stops on the Lynx, downtown-style restaurants and shops are popping up. A light-rail stop seems to be good for preservation, and also for new construction. Last month the Charlotte Observer remarked on the apartment-building boom that Lynx had spawned. Reportedly 60 percent of new apartments in Charlotte are within a 15-minute walk of a Lynx stop.
I took just two trips, on a Saturday, but both times the cars were almost packed. A few were sightseers, like me, but most seemed practical commuters or shoppers, reading the paper or texting while they rode.
That day, at least, the Lynx operated on the honor system. There are no turnstiles, and I could have ridden for free. I hear that on rare occasions they do check, and it's a $50 fine if you're caught aboard without a ticket. But the whole time I rode, on a Saturday, I never saw a live attendant or staffer of any sort. Maybe they're undercover.
It was, overall, an agreeable way to spend an afternoon and, I would think, a great way to get to work.
When I talk to people from Charlotte about their amazing light-rail system, after all those years of work and millions of dollars, they're obviously proud of it. But they acknowledge a little footnote that it's not useful to them personally. It's just the one line. There are plans for expansion, though, each line with its own complications and controversies; the whole system is scheduled to be completed by 2034.
Naturally, I tried to imagine it here. People like to claim that East Tennesseans have a primal fear of public transit, a dread ingrained in our DNA. But Knoxville once had a model light-rail system. Knoxville was one of the South's first cities to build an electric-streetcar system, beginning in 1890, and for more than half a century, it was a common way for the rich and the poor to get around.
Charlotte, the city, is four times bigger than Knoxville, the usual reason given for its public-transit advantage, and that's a major factor. Strange as it may seem, though, until about 1950, Knoxville was bigger than Charlotte. You never know what the next decade will bring.
Charlotte has a couple of other advantages. Lynx began with a local half-cent sales-tax hike, but being in North Carolina, which has a bigger per-capita budget than Tennessee does, helps. Never mind the income tax, the Tarheel gas tax is 50 percent greater than ours. North Carolina just builds more impressive stuff than we do. The federal government pitched in, too, in flusher times. It's looking harder to squeeze that turnip.
Another advantage is that Charlotte was able to gain access to an unused freight line, and those don't pop up whenever you need them. On first glance, the most obvious place to put light rail in Knoxville would be along the Kingston Pike/Interstate 40 corridor, the most traveled commuter route. But that route would require either Norfolk Southern giving up a 150-year-old line they use every day—or, in the alternative, plowing through, or building over, miles of privately owned land, all of it occupied by something, even if it's just parking lots. Suburban Knoxville businesses regard parking lots to be as vital as buildings.
Other routes, connecting downtown to Maryville/Alcoa and the airport, or to the north, as the University of Tennessee's Center for Transportation Research Director David Clarke suggested last month, might be more feasible. There's no bus to the airport, and it sure would be nice to have a way to get to the Smokies without suspecting you're helping poison them every time you burn a few gallons to get there and back.
I'm not sure how big a city has to be before it earns the negotiating-table respect of the railroads. Over the years, I've gathered that Knoxville's not there yet.
If Knoxville light rail happens, I, for one, will support it. And I'll ride it to my new job as offensive coordinator for the Vols.

3.55/5 rDev -3%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Pours an almost clear brownish amber with a 2 finger light tan head that leaves a touch of attractive lacing. Numerous bubbles rising throughout the glass.
Aroma of sweet malts, dark fruits and a slight whiff of coffee. A bit woodsy.
Roast malt and rich dark fruit. Flavor approaches tht of cherry at times. the bitterness of burnt malt combined with the alcohol give it a bit of cloy.
Medium full in body. Somewhat sticky. Prickly carbonation. Very warming.
Decent brew. Great for a cold winter's night.

look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 2.5
Pours from the bottle with a rich, reddish-amber color that is not unlike a brown ale, and it is topped by a fizzy tan head. Light, sweat, bready malts are most pronounced in the aroma, but there is also some earthy, almost metallic character. The bread and light caramel sweetness is likewise prominent in the flavor, but the finish is loaded with the earthy/metallic/spice hop character, which isn't pleasant. The medium body and fine carbonation don't distract from the flavors, which is unfortunate in this case. Overall, the beer is underwhelming. it doesn't showcase the malts well, and the unpleasant finish makes me not want to come back for more.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a 14 oz "pint" glass. Pours a dark reddish black with a small white head that dissipates quickly. Smells of sweet grain, slight fruity taste, very nice. Tastes of fruit and sweet grain, a great tasty balance. Beer is slightly heavily carbonated, but goes down very smoothly. Overall, a very good beer.

Served on-tap at Blue Mountain Brewery in Afton, VA
A: Pours a clear rich brown in color with some moderate amounts of visible carbonation and a moderate amount of ruby red highlights. The beer has a quarter finger tall very light beige head that quickly reduces to a medium sized patch of very thin film and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate aromas of toasted malts and smoked peat along with some lighter hints of brown sugar sweetness and just a hint of nuts.
T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of toasted malts with some moderate brown sugar and dark fruit sweetness. Then the smokey elements from the peat start to come through with just a hint of nuts (maybe pecan or walnut). There is a bit of earthiness from the hops towards the finish with light amounts of bitterness which fades rather quickly.
M: On the heavier side of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly sticky.
O: Overall this is a fairly sweet beer just bordering on the edge of being cloying. Not the easiest beer to drink and the smokiness is not as pronounced in the flavor as it was in the aroma - I could have used a little more smokiness to this beer as a whole. Probably not a beer that I would have multiple of at a single session. Overall the alcohol is well hidden in this brew.

3.39/5 rDev -7.4%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.25
A: Rich, brown ale. Only a thin layer of head with moderate retention. The beer retains a thin smattering of head across the surface.
S: Brown sugar, pecans and lots of toasted malts. A good, rich smelling brew.
T: Toasted malts and a LOT of dark fruits. The middle brings a nice earthiness, and there is a touch of bittering woody hops on the finish. It hides the 8% ABV fairly well, except for the esters, which compound the fruitiness. The overall impression is that of sweetness, and it is a little cloying.
M: Fairly heavy body, relatively light on the carbonation and very sticky, which adds to the cloying factor.
O: Not my favorite wee heavy by any means. There is a lot of fruit, a lot of sticky sweetness. I don't know that I could drink more than one of these unless it was with a meal.

I had this the first time on draft and I thought the word of it. Glad to see it in bottles in my local shops. Wonderfully malty and balanced, possibly a new favorite. The smoothness of this beverage is dangerous giving its abv. It is a nice winter warmer if nothing else.

Nice looking 68 oz flip top growler from stonequarrywest in growling at the moon.
A: Looks fairly dark in the glass. Looks similiar to cola when held up to light. Poured with a decent amount of bone colored head. No lacing.
S: There is a little bit of smoke up front. A little bit of cardboard behind that.Almost has a little bit of a port nose to it. Quite a bit of malt as well.
T: Not as much smoke was in the nose. A touch though. Quite a bit of fruit for a wee heavy. Check that more fruit than I have ever had for the style. Totally not to style but not bad. I think it is showing a touch of oxidization as well.
M: A little on the lighter side of the style. Carbonation is low.
D: Not bad. I am spoiled because I usually have this style on cask. A different take on the style that I think might have suffered a little bit from it's journey. Very drinkable however. Thanks again stonequarrywest for the opportunity!
Edit: I thought this beer was underpreforming so I let it warm for a while. Still about the same thing/ Put it on the back porch for a while and SHAZAM! After the upstate NY eisbock process I started to get a bit of leather and tobacco which added to the complexity. Bumped the scores accordingly.

From the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority:
Bob's Big Boy will host a conversation and poster-signing with Chatsworth artist Danny Heller on Friday from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. during the popular "" at 8876 Corbin Ave. in Northridge.
The is part of the "Through the Eyes of Artists" series commissioned by Metro Creative Services. The posters, depicting various neighborhoods served by Metro, are displayed throughout the county's transit system.
The artist will sign and give away first-edition prints, an enviable collector's item for residents as well as art and local history enthusiasts. The event is free to the public.
In the poster, : a two-toned 1955 Chevy Bel Air cruising down Topanga Canyon Boulevard while a trio of grazing horses peer through a corral alongside the landmark Stoney Point rock formation.
Heller describes the inspiration for the poster: "I really want to give a sense of the still very open landscape of this part of the Valley. The classic car culture out here is pretty big and it helps to show the main thoroughfare through town: Topanga Canyon Boulevard. Stoney Point/Rocky Peak is also an iconic feature of the landscape."
Heller is a painter from Northridge. He grew up in the San Fernando Valley, where he studied the Los Angeles landscape. While under the instruction of landscape painter Hank Pitcher, he earned a bachelor's degree in art, with an emphasis on painting, at the College of Creative Studies at UC Santa Barbara. Heller develops his works in his Chatsworth studio and depicts mid-century Los Angeles with a focus on architecture and car culture. His paintings have been exhibited at venues that include Judith Kaufman Gallery, Art Basel and LA Art Show.
The Chatsworth poster is No. 22 in the series of posters commissioned by Metro Creative Services. Posters in the series have garnered a Print Magazine Regional Design Annual Excellence Award, a Tranny Merit Award, a "Fresh" Illustrations Award from Illustrations Magazine Annual, a Los Angeles Society of Illustrators Silver Medal, and a Society of Environmental Graphic Design Award.
In the tradition of celebrating transportation through colorful travel destination posters, Metro commissions a diverse range of Los Angeles artists to create original artworks. The purpose of the series is to express the distinctive character of neighborhoods and destinations served by Metro. The posters are displayed throughout the Metro system, including on trains and buses, in stations and various other locations.
Metro Creative Services includes the agency's in-house design studio, which creates Metro's brand communications, and the agency's art and design excellence programs, which commission wide-ranging projects by visual artists and promote overall design quality of customer environments. From intelligently designed, user-friendly customer information, engaging and effective advertising and a newly designed fleet of buses and trains to large scale site-specific artworks by world-class artists.
Metro employs art and design to create a sense of place, engage transit riders, and improve quality of life throughout Los Angeles County.

Just over fifteen years ago, not long before the bombing of the Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City, this writer experienced what he thought to be unusual happenings in and around Ponca City. Of course, nobody would expect anything not purely American to be transpiring in this broad geographic zone of peace and patriotism across north central Oklahoma. But, nevertheless, there were some peculiar happenings.
Ponca City was the home of an active low power television station at that time. It was available on cable and off the air. Mostly it ran old programming, and they had regular on-air auctions with some good and some poor merchandise selling cheap. These auctions were popular all around the Kay County area.
Then they began to try news and public affairs programming. The news effort was admirable, although weak. The public affairs programs were something weird.
Running the channels during the earlier of late-night hours, one might run into a panel, a guest interview, or maybe a call-in and call-up show. The host was a scraggly-looking young man gifted in neither looks nor wit. The topics of conversation were downright weird.
A frequent guest was a talkative, apparently well-informed, erudite man that one took to be an obscure local attorney. He talked a lot of about the law, going into great detail. Listening closely, one found to his dismay that this man was explaining why citizens did not have to pay taxes.
He found income taxes to be totally at odds with the law. Further, he did not believe in paying property taxes. He refused to pay either, he outlined his reasons clearly, and he recommended everyone join with him. He offered them legal advice and legal grounds for not paying taxes. Callers questioned the man, and many offered their support for his position.

Gunnar & The Grizzlies
Gunnar & the Grizzly Boys is a band that has hit the ground running when it comes to experiencing success in music. Formed in 2009, the band has been bringing their high energy Americana country rock to sold-out crowds all over Michigan and the Midwest. Staying true to their country roots, on July 23, 2010 they released their first album titled "Homegrown," which features 12 original tracks that got regional recognition and radio play from some of the largest radio stations in the country.
The group played their first show as an opening act to a sold out crowd for Justin Moore. Since then they've won B93's Honky Tonk Heroes battle of the bands distinguishing them as the top new country band in Michigan. Furthermore, they have opened for some of the biggest acts in country music including Gretchen Wilson, Lady Antebellum, Craig Morgan, Ty Stone and so on. Having played shows ranging from 25 to 60,000 people, there is no stage too big or too small.
With a long-time musical connection, the boys have a chemistry on stage that brings out the best in their music. Imagine a combination of Justin Moore, Bruce Springsteen, Zac Brown Band, Jamey Johnson, and Eric Church with passion and energy not seen in country music and you've got Gunnar & the Grizzly Boys. Their live performances get crowds moving like few other bands can, turning first-time viewers into devoted Grizzly-fans. In a short amount of time the group has developed a faithful fan base from all over the country and even different parts of the world. With a limitless attitude, Gunnar & the Grizzly Boys are ready to take the American country circuit by storm and share their take on music.

Delicious veggies!
By: Des Welch (Jun 4, 2014)
This was our first winter with the Zahradka Farm and our first experience with a CSA. We loved the vegetables, fresh and delicious and delivered to our door. Had no problem with the deliveries varying a bit due to weather, as we were kept well informed via email. We signed up immediately for the summer program and are looking forward to a great selection of summer goodies. Thanks, everyone at Zahradka Farm!

They win by default
By: Norla Trechthon (Apr 21, 2014)
If there were ANY other winter CSA's available to Baltimore City, we would switch over in a heartbeat. All of the negative comments that are listed here do still remain true through the 2014 winter season: we never knew what day to expect our delivery since it changed almost every week without notice, their email responses are practically non-existent, and some of the produce was just plain BAD. Sure some of it was also pretty good, but isn't that what I'm paying for? I was also disappointed with the selection this year since last winter there seemed to be greater variety. That said, they do have great honey.

Thank you for your honesty. It's refreshing after noticing on page 2 (March 14 & 15, 2012 reviews) that the CSA organizers are posting positive reviews without identifying themselves as such. I suspect there are more reviews like that on here that are not so easily identified by a name.

You would be wrong. No one is trying to hide anything. We pay for our shares AND volunteer to help a true family farmer and are honored to do so.

Excellent experience all around. I've been a member of this CSA for several years, both summer and winter. I am always recommending to neighbors and co-workers to join up. It changed our eating habits in many positive ways.

Wonderful experience! Dedicated people!
By: Debbie Cochran (Apr 12, 2014)
We joined the CSA program in Spring, 2013 with a small share. (Does feed 2-3 adults.) Pick-up was at the farm stand. Many a Saturday morning, we were there when the veggies were being brought in from harvest. There was a wide variety of veggies from which to choose. (The sweet corn last season was awesome.) We usually bought extra of any goodies that we wanted to try preserving for the winter. (I made some yummy peach jam!) We found the majority of the staff friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We also ordered a medium turkey and the Christmas box. The turkey was excellent and HUGE. We were so satisfied with the experience that we joined the Winter program. Despite the trying winter, we had a nice assortment of fresh veggies delivered every week. We had few issues, and the farm was happy to fix any problem. We have been trying the "extras" (eggs, honey, breads, granola) and have been pleased with those items. You cannot beat fresh, local food. We are signed up for 2014!

LOVE the Zahradka Farm CSA
By: (Apr 11, 2014)
This past winter was our first season with the Zahradka Farm CSA and we loved it. It was a harsh and trying winter, but the farmers worked through it no matter what, and we had beautiful fresh veggies every week. I found that the farmers were extremely responsive to any question or concerns. I also love all the extras that you can add to your order each week like local fresh bread, honey, coffee beans, and eggs, too name a few. The variety and quality of all the produce and other products was excellent. I can not wait for the summer season to start up.

Amazing Experience! I'm Hooked!!!
By: Camden Field (Apr 11, 2014)
I have been a CSA Customer for two years now and I love it! This is the first year we have participated in the Winter program and I was wowed! I have always purchased a medium sized share (8 generous items) during the Summer program, however during the Winter the farm only offers two sizes. When I inquired about which size to choose the integrity and honesty I received took me aback! The Farmer's Wife, Libby let told me I should try the smaller size to save money and if we wanted to upgrade we could do so whenever. I can not count the times I have been "sold a bill of goods" to put more money in a company's "pocket". This was not the Case with the Zahradka Farm. (Thank You!)
Their website was clear and the facebook page is awesome! The produce was so fresh and if there is an issue and you bring it to light... it is taken care of right away. The owners are in the office on Mon. and Tues. and they make that clear. On the other days they are working at the farm... duh!
We love you guys!

every week I get reminded of being taken
By: Robert Strootman (Sep 10, 2013)
We were completely aware of "shared risk". We assumed that in paying nearly a thousand dollars for the season = we get a better deal then the walk up person at a farmers market. Instead every week we lose money and get reminded of our mistake.
Produce is fine in nature. But for $937 for 24 weeks= $39 a week for 12 shares= we pay $3.25 a share. We pick up our CSA at a farmers market where the prices are listed. And so the result is unless we chose 12 shares of heirloom tomatoes each week...for our commitment, we get ripped off each and every week. A walk-up consumer, not committed to 24 weeks pays $5 for dozen ears of corn. We pay $6.50. A basket of green beans is $3. Onions of leeks or Kale $2.00....there is no adjustment for CSA members...and most items are $3.00...so even if we chose all $3.00 items we ONLY lose $4 that week...for having committed to the whole season.
Then, not written anywhere in the contract...we found out that we were permitted only one fruit per week. We had been members in the winter and this was not the case. But for the summer it is....and what angers me more is that the full share person with the most invested (and one would think, the most valuable) gets one share of fruit. The middle CSA of six items is allowed one fruit, the smallest share of 4 items is allowed one fruit. Which to me equals those of us who risked and committed the most money, get the most screwed.
I emailed complaining about all of this and was told I could go F-myself. Needless to say we won't make this mistake again. Id be happy to send my receipt and any documentation to validate this as authentic.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The No. 25 Florida State men's tennis team (13-6, 6-3) defeated fellow ACC school Maryland (13-10, 1-8) 6-1 today, April 11. The Seminoles bounced back from last weekend's defeat to Wake Forest and are now 4-1 in matches following a loss this season.
"It was a good competitive match," said head coach Dwayne Hultquist. "I thought we played pretty well. Jordan may have played one of the best matches of the year. Vahid won pretty quickly and it was good for him to get the win. I'm just pleased with the tandem of Vahid and Jordan in doubles. We have a big week in front of us with Duke and North Carolina."
In doubles play the No. 38 duo of Jean-Yves Aubone (Miami, Fla.) and Clint Bowles (Tampa, Fla.) defeated Ian Mansfield and Graham Knowlton on court one 8-4. Playing in only their second match together was senior Vahid Mirzadeh (Wellington, Fla.) and freshman Jordan Kelly-Houston (Christchurch, New Zealand). The duo competed on court two and came off with the 8-4 victory over Tommy Laine and Sergio Wyss.
In singles play, the Seminoles broke most of their losing streaks to win five of their six matches. Freshman Anderson Reed (Daphne,Ala.) snapped his two match losing streak to win 7-6 (4), 6-3 on court six over Knowlton. After losing last weekend, No. 24 Aubone, a senior, also came back to win 6-3, 6-1 against Laine on court one. No. 40 Mirzadeh came back strong with a 6-0, 6-3 win on court two after losing two matches last weekend.
The No. 63 junior Bowles won his sixth match in a row to make him 13-6 this spring. He defeated Wyss on court three 6-3, 6-1 to clinch the match for the Seminoles. Kelly-Houston clinched his third consecutive match with a 6-1, 6-1 victory on court five over Ryan Lissner.
The Seminoles return to the Scott Speicher Tennis Center next weekend to close out the regular season. On Friday, April 16 the Seminoles have a bout against No. 19 North Carolina at 5:00 p.m. and then face No. 20 Duke on Sunday at noon for Senior Day.

The Tribune-Star
The course work at the University of Chicago is quite a bit different than that at Rose-Hulman, but the test scores required to get the chance to do that work are similar.
So Jeff Sokol, for the past 11 seasons the offensive coordinator and — just as importantly — the recruiting coordinator at Chicago, looks to be a good fit as the new head football coach for the Engineers.
Sokol was introduced to the media and some of his new players for the first time Monday afternoon at Rose-Hulman, and indicated he was ready to build on a winning tradition established by Steve Englehart and Jayson Martin, who was interim coach last fall.
"The winning tradition here is a testament to coach Martin and coach Englehart," Sokol told the assembled crowd. "We don't expect to miss a beat."
Although Martin was passed over in the search for a permanent coach, Rose athletic director Jeff Jenkins said Monday that was no reflection on the season he had.
"Jayson did a good job," said Jenkins, who noted there were about 100 candidates nationwide for the job, "but Jeff brings more Division III experience and more experience dealing with and recruiting Division III kids.
"It's not that Jayson was not ready; it's that [Sokol] is more ready."
Sokol, who said he didn't wait long to answer Jenkins when the Rose-Hulman job was offered, indicated his recruiting experience would be a plus for the Engineers — and that there was plenty to offer prospective football players at Rose-Hulman.
"This is a place you can sell to kids … an outstanding product," he told the Tribune-Star. "I can sit in living rooms and tell parents their investment [in their son's education] will pay off … the most challenging thing about [recruiting, for Rose-Hulman or Chicago] is the significant financial obligation to these families."
Glancing around the facilities in the Sports and Recreation Center, Sokol added, "There is everything you need here … and this is a national institution, so we cast a pretty wide net [for recruiting]."
Most Engineer players were seeing their new coach for the first time, and Sokol said his emphasis would continue to be on the offensive side.
"We'll try to be really aggressive on offense: a fast tempo, with as many [offensive plays] as we can. Keep the pressure on the defense … and we'll structure what we do around our personnel."
One of his first priorities, Sokol said, was to find a defensive coordinator — and then to basically leave him alone.
"We need to get a defensive coordinator in place," he said, "and the most important thing [in the search] is someone who can teach the fundamentals, have a philosophy of defense he believes in, and fits that philosophy around our personnel."
Rose-Hulman is coming off five consecutive winning seasons for the first time in 20 years and finished 6-4 during the fall. Chicago set a modern-era school record with eight wins during the fall and with 13 wins the past two seasons. The Maroons won three University Athletic Association championships while Sokol was their offensive coordinator.
"We've heard great things about him … only good things," said Rose-Hulman wide receiver Sutton Coleman after the press conference. "Everybody [on the team] is real excited, ready to get into winter conditioning and spring training."
Playing fast on offense sounded good to Coleman — although it could be said that the Engineer sprinter during track season plays fast all the time.
"He has a lot of offensive knowledge and good experience with the type of athletes we are," Coleman said. "I think we're definitely a championship-caliber team."

Current Work in Progress
Keener Place - In mid-March 2010 construction began on Florence Habitat for Humanity's 17th house, the first in its new 10-home Keener Place tract, located at 15th and Nopal Streets in Florence. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Saturday, February 20th, for the Libby Rodriguez family home. Construction of the house was complete and a community-wide open house was held on Saturday, August 21. A dedication ceremony was held the following weekend as the community celebrated with Libby and her family, as they officially became new homeowners. A groundbreaking ceremony for the next Habitat homes, #18 & #19, was held on August 7. Additional Habitat homes will be built in Keener Place along the newly completed extension of Nopal Street.
Seventh and Laurel - We recently completed construction of the three townhouses at 7th and Laurel. Go and take a look! We are very proud of these two-story, three bedroom houses. There are no common walls. The individual homeowners also own the land, as each townhouse sits on its own city lot. There are two-car carports in the rear, opening onto a shared driveway.

|Farmworkers union continuing WCB push
|Local Content - Local Agriculture
|Written by Stan Ashbee
|Wednesday, 21 November 2012 17:44
It's just a matter of wait and see for Eric Musekamp, president of the Farmworkers Union of Alberta (FUA).
Musekamp wants an extension of mandatory worker's compensation paid to farmworkers so that these costs and more are paid for by the agriculture industry through the Worker's Compensation Board (WCB) and not paid for by taxpayers through Alberta Health Services (AHS).
Through recent letters, Musekamp has contacted Fred Horne, the health and wellness minister and Heather Forsyth, the official opposition health critic regarding the issue. Musekamp has also spoke with the NDP and the Liberal party regarding this issue.
In the letter to Horne, Musekamp wrote it is a burden placed upon the health ministry by virtue of the lack of workplace health and safety legislation and the absence of WCB coverage in the Alberta agriculture industry. The letter asks for Horne to support Alberta Premier Alison Redford in the effort to include agriculture in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and mandatory WCB.
"I want the matter raised as I think that it's proper for the industry to pay for these costs rather than us," said Musekamp.
The letter to Forsyth discussed the costs borne by AHS to treat injured farmworkers and indicated the cost borne by AHS identified by Bob Barnetson, associate professor, labour relations for the Centre for Work and Community Studies program at Athabasca University.
"The FUA asked me if I had reliable estimates of the health care costs associated with farm injuries. Specifically, they wanted to know whether I knew what costs were being passed onto the health care system by farmers who did not have WCB. Under WCB, the health care costs are billed back to the WCB and eventually passed onto employers. Farmers do not have WCB, thus health care costs associated with uncovered injuries are transferred or externalized from farmers onto taxpayers," said Barnetson.
The letter asked that Forsyth support the extension of mandatory WCB for injured farmworkers, as well.
Barnetson provided Musekamp with a rough estimate regarding medical costs with agricultural injuries in Alberta, according to a letter received by Musekamp from Barnetson.
"We asked Bob if he could do a calculation of what the cost transferred to the health system is from agriculture because there is no worker's compensation coverage for most of the farmworkers," said Musekamp.
In the letter, Barnetson mentioned it is difficult to provide accurate costs because the data is spotty on injuries, injury costs, number of workers, etc. Based on 2011 WCB data, there were 2825 workers on 1300 "farming operations" covered by worker's compensation in Alberta.
"Farming operations" exclude apiaries, feedlots, greenhouses, etc. but "farming operations" seemed to encompass the largest group of agricultural workers so Barnetson said he used that data.

Bay Buchanan Speaks Out Against the 'Lynching' of Marcus Epstein
Friday, June 05, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Bay Buchanan, whom I interviewed this week about troubled anti-immigration activist Marcus Epstein, has published a fuller account of his problems and a broadside against the — wait for it — "lynching" that ensued.
The stories about Marcus were for the most part inaccurate and incomplete. Yet, the left wing bloggers ran with this little factoid because the assailant worked for organizations associated with Pat Buchanan and Tom Tancredo. What happened next was a modern day lynching by a faceless, angry, ignorant mob who reveled in the collective assault on their victim.
Speaking just for myself, as someone who knew Epstein socially, for three years, I think Buchanan gets at the point, then whiffs.
Yes, bloggers ran with this because Epstein worked with Pat Buchanan and former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) — two men who were making their way across the airwaves and the pages of popular news sites arguing that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor was a "racist." They did all of this knowing that they employed a troubled employee who not only had pled guilty to a racially charged assault, but who had a years-long record of white nationalist writing and associations.
I usually despise the "what if X has said this" framing of a controversy (which Bay Buchanan used to call Sotomayor a "bigot"), but consider — how would Buchanan and Tancredo react if, to pick an example totally at random, a Latina judge employed a top-level assistant who had written thousands of words for a Hispanic nationalist site, and who had pled guility to hitting a white woman and calling her a "cracker"? Would they stay mum or worry, publicly, about the possible "lynching" of this employee? Or would they, you know, call this judge a racist?

I'm sure that if Bay Buchanan was physically attacked by an intoxicated young black man shouting ethnic slurs against whites, she would have the same tender concern for his mental and emotional problems… uh, no, wait, she'd be screaming for his blood.
In addition to his problems with substance abuse and depression, this young man is clearly racist. He seems to to be making progress with his depression and addiction to alcohol, but his addiction to seeing blacks and hispanics as his inferiors obviously continues unabated, judging by his political activities and associates. (I'm looking at you, Bay!)
A black man who attacked a white woman in similar circumstances would be doing hard time right now, not being given 'executive directorships' in prominent political organizations.
Interesting that the actual victim, the woman who was viciously assaulted in an unprovoked attack, is beneath Bay's notice. I wonder how the victim's mental health is doing these days – anxious and depressed, perhaps, that a punk could beat her for no reason, and walk around free as a bird?
And let me point out the utterly sickening moral rot that allows the use of the term 'lynching' in these circumstances.
Comment posted June 6, 2009 @ 5:36 am
What if? We already know what if. We hear it every day in the screams of racist hypocrisy from these right wing freakshow types. Everyone else is a "racist" for calling them out on their racism. Bay Buchanan, if she had an ounce of credibility left, has lost it. Tom Tancredo never had any credibility to begin with, and is obviously an idiot (who doesn't "believe in evolution!!!"). Marcus Epstein is a cowardly little twerp who hits women and is obviously boiling with self-hatred. Somehow, these righty freaks think he should be excused for having a mental illness or addiction problems?
I suppose they'd like that excuse applied to all of them. Because you'd have to be nuts or drunk or both to be quite so hypocritical and ignorant.
Marcus, you're now outed as a depressive alcoholic as well as a racist and a criminal and a wimp (who else attacks a woman on the street? Come after me, Marcus — all 6 ft. 2 and 220 pounds of me — and let's see how you do). Your career is ruined. The "friends" you thought would shelter you from reality have damned you with their faint praise and will soon have to cut you off completely and distance themselves to save their own reputations from further destruction. UVa won't have you, and at this point neither will any other law school worth the cost of admission.
When you point your finger cuz your plans fell through, remember you've got three more fingers pointing back at you.
Comment posted June 6, 2009 @ 5:44 am
David, quick question, please. From Buchanan's "Human Events" article:
"One Sunday early in 2007 Marcus called and asked if he could come to my home to talk. He was afraid of what he might do if he were alone another minute…After exhausting himself emotionally he went to one of my spare bedrooms to sleep. He stayed several months and left only when he felt he was strong enough to be on his own again."
When you interviewed her, did Buchanan mention that Epstein had lived with her for several months?
Comment posted June 6, 2009 @ 5:50 am
Jeez, these folks like Bay Buchanan are just clueless.
Comment posted June 6, 2009 @ 5:52 am
Buchanan's description of events makes no sense. If she really thought her employee was suicidal, as she implies, why wouldn't she call his family and have them take care of him? Instead, she says she took him into her home for months. What employer would assume such a liability risk? In addition, she says Epstein has a profound speech impediment, and yet she hired him to run a lobbying organization, which is nothing but phone work and public speaking. And now she writes this impassioned and illogical defense.
Is there more to this relationship than meets the eye?

Good to see that Weigel has his SPLC talking points in order and his Soros[TM]-brand shock collar firmly attached.
However, vdare isn't a white nationalist site.
Even I – someone who's posted literally thousands of posts about imm. matters since 2002 – would tend to be understanding if this case were reversed, involving a Hispanic who had mental problems and who'd been drinking.
Meanwhile, when the group that SS was a member for six years was completely sober, they gave an award to someone who years before had proposed genocide. The person who had proposed genocide had not, AFAIK, been drinking and has said many other interesting things since then.
The bottom line here is that Weigel is just a hack for a Soros- and Rockefeller-funded pseudo-paper.

If Buchanan and Tancredo were better people, they would simply apologize for hiring Epstein in the first place. I'd expect "leaders" such as this in some third-world country, not the United States.
Comment posted June 6, 2009 @ 8:57 pm
Dear Mr. Weigel,
You attacked Pat Buchanan for employing someone with "a years-long record of white nationalist writing and associations," but the "evidence" you offered to back up your charge is a link to an article Epstein wrote, defending Buchanan. So, you're damning Buchanan for employing someone who defended him? Were you trying to be cute, and make a joke? Do you have a circularity problem? Didn't you think anyone would hit the link? Or did you figure your comrades here would variously be logically and/or morally challenged, and cut you some slack, out of loyalty?
BTW, if your claims about Epstein are true, how could anyone employ you, given your long record of "white nationalist associations"?

Mr Stix, assaulting a black woman and calling her nigger is hardly tantamount to a mere article Epstein wrote. Of course, if you are the same Nicholas Stix that once equated Martin Luther King, Jr. to a "silver-tounged serpent", I can understand why you would want to make this about something else

Dear Anti-Marcusian,
Apparently, I've never referred to MLK—or anyone else, for that matter—as a "silver-tounged serpent," [sic] or as a "silver-tongued serpent." At least, that's what Google says. (With about 1.5 million words in print, I couldn't recall, for certain.) But I like the phrase, and just may use it, in the future (without your misspelling, of course).
However, the important point for the moment is that you piped a quote, in order to misrepresent me. And then you misrepresented me yet again—and David Weigel, in the bargain—projecting onto me your own diversion technique!
"…I can understand why you would want to make this about something else."
You're just a wealth of misinformation.

Apparently, Epstein's "speech impediment" is Tourette's Syndrome, which is why he runs around calling African Americans "nigger." The poor soul can't control himself.

Most men of "a certain age," are usually pretty happy to let their birthdays slide by unnoticed. And when they're in the youth-oriented world of popular music, even more so.
Not Jim Dawson.
This brilliant, if under-recognized singer/songwriter, makes his birthdays a public affair. On Monday, you might wish to find this out for yourself. At something called "Jim Dawson's *ACTUAL BIRTHDAY* Birthday Bash." See him live, wish him well, dig his melodic, incisive, urban portraits, all happening at Frank's Steaks.
"It's my new strategy" said Dawson, a funny, loquacious guy, about playing at such an atypical venue. "I find a classy restaurant, a place not necessarily known for its music, and I bring in my 'people,' usually 40 or 50 fans. I do this in Manhattan, too, and it's working nicely. Plus, I should mention that the food at Frank's is superb."
He's been around, Dawson, and not just geographically. His inner and outer journeys have been circuitous. It's been a 'trip,' as they use to say in the '60s and '70s.
Discovered by legendary WNEW (now WFUV) deejay, Pete Fornatale, Dawson burst onto the singer/songwriter scene, just as it, and the '70s, began. His first album, "Songman," got a great deal of airplay on WNEW and other stations. It was followed by "You'll Never Be Lonely With Me," which a number of discerning listeners (including this one), think of as Dawson's masterpiece. Full of gorgeous melodies, simple, but evocative arrangements and musical snapshots of everything from Mother Earth to that of a desperate streetwalker ("Stephanie"), "Lonely" also scored big on the radio.
After that, there were ups and downs.
"I left my first label (Kama Sutra) for RCA, where I made several more records, but things didn't quite click over there," said Dawson, whose been-there-done-that humor has clearly served him well in the business they call show.
He's hardly been resting on his laurels since the 70s, however. He's gigged relentlessly, had a hit record in Germany, worked with greats like Phoebe Snow and Dr. John (in connection with the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy group) and then there's the jingle gigs that have helped pay the bills.
The money he got paid was nice. But, as for the material they provided Dawson? They're priceless.
"I did a dog food commercial once," he said. "I can't really mention the brand, because I think they're still in business. But after I did what I thought was a good take, the producer got on the mic and said, 'Hey Jim, not bad. But next time, do you think you can do it more from the dog's perspective?'"
And, understandably, he hoots with laughter.
Although he's got a pretty sophisticated recording set-up in his Manhattan apartment, Dawson is still grappling with the notion of committing any more of his songs to tape. Or whatever they call it now.
"I've got about 40 new tunes at this point. But I've grown kind of allergic to the recording process as I've gotten older. Recording is like capturing a free-roaming animal to me, now. I don't know if I believe in it. I am toying with taping some of my live shows, however. I love the energy that a crowd gives you when you're playing live. So maybe, making a live record of these new songs could be a good compromise."
He laughs again at this notion. As if this whole enterprise, the gig, the recording, might make a good birthday present to himself. And he laughs again, when you mention this. As if it just might.
