Daily Star
---- — Shop Talk is a weekly column featuring locally owned and operated businesses. This week, we talk to Kathleen McClure, who operates the KOA campground in Unadilla with her husband, Michael.
How long have you lived in the area?
Eight years. We live here during our campground season, which is May 1 through Oct. 25; the rest of the year, we live in Rochester.
Tell me about your business:
We are a KOA campground, which means we have to meet certain standards. We get inspected every year.
We have six one-room cabins and we have two 28-foot rental trailers. We have a large swimming pool with a slide, a basketball court, a tetherball court, volleyball net, horseshoe pits, fun-bike rentals, and a pond with paddleboat rentals and fishing.
We have a 14-acre field, and we keep the perimeter mowed for campers and joggers. There is a rec room with a pool table and arcade games.
We have had family reunions hosted here. The Sidney Fire Department had its annual picnic here. We have also had weddings. I provide a big canopy tent for those events
We do movie nights. We provide a glow-stick hayride, potluck dinners, ice cream socials, and a candy hunt. On Sunday mornings, we offer coffee and doughnuts. It's just a very kid-friendly, tucked-back-from-the-road place.
How did you get started in this line of work?
I am one of 10 kids. My husband is one of six. As children, we both camped with our families. We have five children of our own. We camped all our young adult lives.
My husband and I have worked for the same family-owned company in Massachusetts since high school. My husband is a district manager and I am an outside sales representative and packaging designer.
But we wanted our own business. When camping, we watched a campground owner escort some campers to their site, and my husband and I said, "That's going to be our business. We are going to own a campground."
We had just qualified to become KOA owners. We were visiting my brother in Tully, and (KOA) e-mailed us when we were visiting my brother. This campground was for sale, and we visited it on our way home. The place was beautiful _ well-kept and priced right.
Where do you see this business in five years?
In five years, we hope to expand up to the entire 14 acres with more cabins and maybe a small water park, and then have cabins with kitchens. That's our dream.
What have you learned from your work?
If you put your hard work and pride into your business, your guests truly appreciate it. They truly appreciate coming to a clean, quiet, safe environment.
What is the most challenging part of what you do?
Probably the upkeep, but not so much the day-to-day upkeep. For instance, last year we had to replace a hot water heater.
In 2006, during the flood, our entrance was destroyed, three cabins were under water, we lost about 10 feet of real estate and the entire campground was flooded. We lost the whole season, and we had to refund some campers' money.
And then there were (Hurricane) Irene and (Tropical Storm) Lee last year. But we've replaced everything. We're still kicking and in good shape.
The most enjoyable?
Giving people a good place to stay and talking with the different people.
What sets you apart from your competitors?
We are very affordable. We offer a wide range of amenities. Our seasonal rate is the lowest in the area. My staff's goal is to make the guests' experience the best stay they've ever had at a campground. On weekends, we look at who's coming in and we plan activities accordingly.
What advice would you give to someone trying to enter your field of work?
Two things: The most important thing is to use your resources and get as much help as you can. Utilize your resources as much as you can in your area.
Also, do not make any large monetary investments (in the business) for the first five years. Get a feel for what it is in your area that is needed first.

Here's what a thousand farmers look like.
Monday, October 26, 2009 at 04:08PM
Heres a picture of over a thousand enthusiastic young farmers going nuts last night.
The gig was the Macra na Firma annual rally, which we were lucky enough to be asked to play at down in Bantry. It was a blast playing to such a huge crowd. Seeing that many farmers jumping up and down to the Sawdoctors is something everyone should get to experience at least once in their lives!

I dicked around on Google searching for how to change the default UI fonts and other appearances of Windows 8, and I figured it out! I went into a Windows 7 machine with a screen of indentical size and resolution and set everything set exactly how I wanted it, and then I exported the registry key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]. This contains all of the settings of things like desktop icon and font size, program menu font size, title bar font, etc. (No fucken idea why all this shit is encoded in fucked uppe weird lists of hexadecimal numbers, instead of just normal text.) Then you can import this registry key into your Windows 8 machine, and VIOLIN!!

Oh, and this is also very cool: With the previous registry settings, the taskbar icons were too big and the taskbar was too thick, even with the regular UI setting on "Use small taskbar buttons". I'm not exactly sure which registry entry controls this, but now the taskbar is nice and thin, with smaller buttons and not so much wasted extra space around them.

Gee, in the MAC operating system (at least 10.6), the size of the items on the Dock are settable from the fuckken System Preferences menu.

By the way, I hope the fuckken Yankee fan remembered to save a copy of the fuckken Windows Registry before diddling with it. One of the most dangerous occupations one can engage in is diddling with the fuckken Windows Registry.

So all I need to do now is hunt down a Win 7 machine with the settings the way I like! brilliant!

Actually, if you are willing to dicke around with the registry settings directly in Windows 8, you can probably figure out how these things are encoded and set them to your liking. If you limit your putzing to just that key I referred to–and you export a backup copy of that key so you can restore it if you fucke shitte uppe–you probably won't fucke anything uppe too severely.

I have a feeling that "can be made to look exactly like Windows 7″ wasn't supposed to be a big feature for Windows 8 :)

Microsoft's programmers have been using "fuckken Windows Registry" as the unofficial description for years.
Comradde PhysioProffe
January 29, 2013 at 8:29 am (UTC -7) Link to this comment
In case anyone's still paying attention to this, it is the CaptionHeight and SmCaptionHeight registry entries that determine the thickness of the taskbar and window title bars (and the icons that appear in them). I haven't dicked around enough to tell what the difference between these two entries is: I just changed them both. There are also CaptionWidth and SmCaptionWidth entries, which I changed to be the same as the corresponding Height entries, since the Width and Height entries were equal to begin with.
One thing that is kind of annoying is that if you use the Windows 8 Personalization control panel doohickey to change any font sizes, it dickes around with the other shit, too. Presumably this is to change around other element sizes to fit the font size you changed. So once you have tweaked these parameters in the registry, you don't want to use the control panel doohickey, or it will revert some of your other changes.

You know, out of all the W8 tips, tricks, and software meant to make it more usable on a desktop or otherwise more familiar or usable, I've never run across this.
Reach into the grab bag of intarnets, you won some.

Windows 8 still fucking sucks, tho. I can't believe I actually paid money for it. Not that any Windows before it was any better.

Actually, the more I use it, the happier I am with Windows 8. Now that I've got it set up correctly, it is substantially faster, more efficient, and more fun to use than any version of Windows I've ever used, which includes 95, 98, 2000, XP, and Windows 7.
And getting used to the WinKey+ shortcuts is awesome.

I can't believe anybody stills fukkes with MS windows……if you want to play with shitte that will never work right try english sports cars…and don't call windows an operating system – it's a fukken interface.

You can just open the registry ( HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Control Panel / Desktop / WindowsMetric ), right click and 'New –> String Value'
Set the name of the new String Value as: MinWidth
Set your desired value by clicking on the 'MinWidth' string, then select 'Modify', then add in your desired value (something around 120 worked well for the wide task bar button to reduce it from the stock 160 width)
Log out of your user and back in. Done.
Worked great, Windows 8.1

Mike Gimbel
Former Baltimore County Drug Czar
It has come to my attention that the Maryland Legislature will be voting on a bill to ban the sale of "synthetic pot," often referred to as "spice or K-2."
In itself this is not a bad idea since the use of synthetic pot has increased by our youth and many are ending up in emergency rooms due to the effects of these dangerous chemicals.
Whether or not this will solve the synthetic drug problem is questionable since the chemist's have been one step ahead of enforcement by changing the chemical compounds, thus avoiding the new laws.
But it's still worth the effort.
What I don't understand is the hypocrisy of the Maryland State Legislature, especially Del. Curt Anderson from Baltimore City who has introduced legislation to legalize the recreational use of marijuana.
Do you have an informed opinion? Consider starting your own blog.
First, I don't think a delegate representing a city that has been called the "heroin capital of the nation," has liquor stores on just about every corner and has a high crime rate directly associated to drug use, should be advocating legalizing any drug.
But let's look at the hypocrisy.
The three drugs that kill more Americans are cigarettes, alcohol and prescription drugs, all legal and easy to obtain. So why in the world would we every want to legalize another drug that clearly impairs the user and most likely causes more lung damage & cancer than cigarettes.
What our legislators need to focus on is the desperate need for additional drug and alcohol treatment programs throughout the state of Maryland. Not only will this saves lives but will also reduce violence and other crime.

Discharge Instructions for Heart Failure
You have been diagnosed with heart failure. The term "heart failure" sounds scary as it suggests the heart has stopped working. But it actually means the heart is not doing its job as well as it should. Heart failure happens when your heart muscle cannot keep up with your body's need for blood flow. Symptoms of heart failure can be controlled by changes in your lifestyle and by following your doctor's advice.
Home Care
Ask your doctor about an exercise program. You can benefit from simple activities such as walking or gardening. Exercising most days of the week can make you feel better. Don't be discouraged if your progress is slow at first. Rest as needed and stop activity if you develop symptoms such as chest pain, lightheadedness, or significant shortness of breath. Your doctor may prescribe a cardiac rehabilitation program. This is a program to help recover from heart disease through professional lifestyle counseling and education and medically supervised physical activity.
Follow a heart healthy diet and work hard to remove salt from your diet. Try to limit total salt intake to 2000 mg a day or less. Salt causes your body to retain water, which can make it harder for your heart to pump. You can limit salt by doing the following:
Limit canned, dried, packaged, and fast foods.
Don't add salt to your food at the table.
Season foods with herbs instead of salt when you cook.
Monitor your fluid intake. Drinking too much fluid can make heart failure worse. It is commonly advised to limit total fluid intake to less than 66 ounces (2 liters) a day.
Limit alcohol. Too much alcohol can be harmful to the heart. Alcohol should be limited to no more than one serving a day for women and two servings a day for men.
Break the smoking habit. Smoking increases your chance of having a heart attack, which will worsen heart failure. Quitting smoking is the number one thing you can do to improve your health. Enroll in a stop smoking program and ask your doctor about medications or nicotine replacement therapy. These methods improve your chances of success.
Take your medications exactly as prescribed. Learn the names and purpose of each of your medications. Keep an accurate medication list with you at all times including current dosages. Don't skip doses. If you miss a dose of your medication, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next dose. In that case, just wait and take your next dose at the normal time. Don't take a double dose. If you are unsure, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Weight monitoring
Weigh yourself every day. Do this at the same time of day and in the same kind of clothes. Ideally, weigh yourself first thing every morning after you empty your bladder, but before you eat breakfast. Record your weight and take a record of it to each of your doctor's visit. Call your doctor if you gain more than 3 pounds in 1 day, more than 5 pounds in 1 week, or whatever weight gain you were told to report by your doctor. This is a sign that you are retaining more fluid than you should be, which can worsen heart failure.
Heart failure can cause a variety of symptoms including the following:
Shortness of breath
Difficulty breathing at night
Swelling in the legs and feet or in the abdomen
Becoming easily fatigued
Irregular or rapid heartbeat
Weakness or lightheadedness
It is important to know what to do if you develop signs of worsening heart failure.
Make a follow-up appointment as directed by our staff. They will provide specific instruction for timing of appointments. Depending on the type and severity of heart failure you have, you may require follow up as early as 7 days from hospital discharge. Keep appointments for checkups and lab tests that are needed to check your medications and condition.
When to Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor right away if you have any of the following signs of worsening heart failure:
Sudden weight gain (more than
3pounds in 1 day, more than 5pounds in 1 week, or whatever weight gain you were told to report by your doctor)
Trouble breathing not related to being active
New or increased swelling of your legs or ankles
Swelling or pain in your abdomen
Breathing trouble at night (waking up short of breath, needing more pillows to breathe)
Frequent coughing that doesn't go away
Feeling much more tired than usual
When to Seek Emergency Medical Attention
Call 911 right away if you develop:
Severe shortness of breath, such that you cannot catch your breath, even resting
Severe chest pain that does not resolve with rest or nitroglycerin
Pink, foamy mucus with cough and shortness of breath
A continuous rapid or irregular heartbeat
Passing out or fainting
Acute stroke symptoms such as sudden numbness or weakness on one side of your face, arm, or leg, or sudden confusion, trouble speaking or vision changes.

No, he did it while the car was parked stationary.
Only did my sister in law come out after hearing a crunch only to find it speed off.
We have his licence plate, but we tried to claim and he didnt notify his company.
My bumper currently is indented, luckily its the bottom part where it is black pastic.
There are 2 scratches which is causing me a little concern due to the lovely british weather.
I have managed to clay the area and use the Halfrauds correction paints.
Looking at the threads I am going to try filling it, letting it dry and sanding it before detailing it. However I have no detailing machine and would love to borrow one or else hand buff it
^^ thanks mate, as siad yes in from just north of London, but i travel all over, im more than happy to take a look for you have a browse over my web site, on here or DW for examples of my work

hi james. im about to buy an S3 on wednesday... it has a few line scratches and the odd stone chip in the bodywork and am wondering if this will cover up those white areas !
Paint Correction Detail From £365.00 approx 10-19 hours
i live in buckinghamshire but could bring the car to london?
let me know !
cheers !
Hi mate yes it should do, its hard for me to tell with out seeing the car if i can get 100% but i can definately make a big improvement, as for the chips you would need to have or go get a touch up stick, or i can get it that will add about 7-10 IIRR (not 100% sure on Audi touch up kit costs it could be any where up to 20) by all means bring it to me and i can take a look and give a solid quote there is a detailingt meet at my work shop this sat your welcome to pop along to that, there will be a few cars i have done there, if not any week day im down there

Thanks James. Will have a look during lunch at the site and contact you afterwards.
I will give it a bash at the scratch marks this week and chip marks.
Do I get some rubbing alcohol before applying the paint on?
I have got the halfrauds touch up kit last weekend. Also Clayed the car and brought up more swirl marks from previous owner.
OK, a question.
I don't suppose there are places that actually loan/hire the buffing machines at all?
Ofc Im going to give James a call, however for future detailing its quite an investment to buy a machine, the solutions and clay etc.
Any thoughts?
in all fairness its a tricky one to polish Audi paint to any really decent finish via PC or megs G220 is all ways going to take a long long time and be hard work but its quite safe, where as its not so long and drawen out with a rotary but there are dangers ie damaging paint etc if you dont know what your doing, sertaily for just a run over with a final finish a PC etc is a good bit of kit to have in the bag, but for major correction on these paint types IMO they fall short, come along tomorrow to our detailing meet if your intersested

The value of your web presence
While I'm at it, let me "liveblog" another one I took notes on yesterday:
Analyzing, eval, and communic the value of web presence. Amanda Clay Powers and Michael Porter
love libraries, hopeful for libraries, yet very concerned for libs. Don't let "that's the way we've always done it" or "we're too busy" kill our libs.
Acad ref. lib. amandaclaypowers.com. lib 2.0 summit — ms state univ. gung ho since then. Emerging tech summit this yr.
mgs virt ref dept. how integrate social networking/tech. All abt building community.
ROI — what it is for libs and why you care and maybe why you don't need to care. how attitude changed over last year even. Investing staff time and resources into tracking success of social media for your lib need to do well — ppl who do best are from bus world.
oliver blanchard smroi.net. Having a social media presence nowadays is equiv of in yellow pgs 10 yrs ago. Not enough just to be there.
Social media means to an end, so need to know the end. Create goals, what trying to accomplish. Need measurable obj, strategies to meet them, tactics to accomplish strat. Jason falls socialmediaexplorer.com
Don't have time for full ROI report. Hoping for easier soln. No easy way to do business quality wo heavy investment — not mean can't prove story but means data may be more anecdotal. Over last year, value of tools bec more app, ways permeated culture and society not have to make case as much.
youtube — socialmedia roi — socialnomics
libraryman.com — sources
just need to tell story/demonstrate value — not full-blown ROI.
Knew was worthwhile (webjunction) but didn't have stats. Starting compiling what ppl said on FB, twitter, etc about wj and doing in summary on first page. Anecdotal ev.
Weren't reading, so pared down to 4 pgs. then stopped a hwile. Now. Need simple data every months. NUmber fb fans, # tweets, etc. Pared way down bc value has been proven already. Just part of what we do.
Metrics are out there. "So much for the fluff."
twitter guide — has tools for analyzing feeds. at mississippi state univ under libguides.
facebook insights — on fb page over group — gets data over time, can dl and manipulate.
Spike in traffic — rave in library. Got on it, took pics, posted, students engaged with. First ones to have photos up (was a 10 minute study break rave). So huge spike.
What's your target? What are you trying to do with this info? No longer have to prove fb and twitter good idea — done deal. On every page lib/univ website etc. So what data good for?
About building relationships. building community. and listening. Never had this kind of contact with patrons before to know what they thinking about. Sometimes they're thinking about us/libraries/ needing help. Not just linear stats.
Also — getting your resources noticed. Added new resources. Could see who tweeted, where they were, how many followers they had — could see how word getting out. Multiphase, multilayered process — blanchard. Peeling back payers of rich nonlinear exc. data never had before. Shows how bec. relevant.
No instant answers.
Are you being retweeted? Why did they retweet you? What gets liked? What provokes comment? Who is engaging w/ you? So what's interesting, what not, and why.
What are you doing that's sticky? What matters, what brings patrons in, what are they doing with it? Opp to listen.
Create own assessment tool bc every lib is different. Engagement is a very interesting stat.

A variety of compliance regulations now require that Enterprise customers separate encryption keys from the data that they protect. For PHP developers this means storing encryption keys on an external appliance designed for this purpose, and securely retrieving encryption keys in PHP applications as they are needed for encryption and decryption tasks. Alliance Key Manager is an affordable solution that meets all compliance regulations for the secure creation, management, storage, and distribution of encryption keys. Alliance Key Manager is FIPS-140-2 certified (certificate number 1449) and is perfect for use in PHP applications.
Encryption can be a challenge for PHP developers. The Alliance AES Encryption libraries for Linux and Unix platform provide the PHP developer a way to incorporate NIST-certified AES encryption into their PHP applications.
PHP Encryption Key Retrieval
Any application that can create a secure and authenticated TLS connection to the Alliance Key Manager can request and receive encryption keys for use in their applications. PHP directly supports TLS communications and can retrieve keys from AKM. You can store the client side certificate and private key files on your local system and reference them in your PHP application, make the TLS connection, format the key retrieval request, and retrieve an encryption key for use in your applications. A technical HOWTO document provides sample code that you can use as a starting point in your applications.
Wire Protocol Eliminates Libraries
The interface to the Alliance Key Manager is a "wire" protocol. This means that there is no client side software required for key retrieval. You will not need to write wrapper code around shared libraries, or use similar techniques for key retrieval. The PHP language has all of the required features needed to retrieve keys. This also means that you will not have complex package update requirements for your Linux or Unix operating environment.
Alliance Key Manager Documentation and Sample Code
The Alliance Key Manager product CD contains documentation on the use of the Alliance Key Manager from PHP programs and sample application code that you can use to get started.
Encryption Key Management APIs
Most Enterprise customers use the Linux security administrator's command line application, or the Alliance Windows key management application, to create and manage encryption keys on the Alliance Key Manager appliance. However there are certain applications that need to perform key management functions under program control. Through the Linux command line console application, Alliance Key Manager provides commands to enable all of the normal encryption key management functions including creating encryption keys, rotating keys, revoking keys, and so forth. More than 80 commands are provided for every aspect of key management. You can create your own PHP interfaces to the command line application to manage keys.
AES Encryption Libraries
Townsend Security provides NIST-certified AES encryption libraries on a wide variety of platforms including Linux and Unix. On Linux and Unix systems the software is delivered as a shared library in the package format appropriate for the OS. You can use PHP Extensions to access these AES encryption functions. These AES libraries are NIST certified through the AES Validation program, and interoperate with Townsend AES libraries on a variety of other platforms including Linux, Unix, IBM i (AS/400, iSeries), and IBM System z Mainframe platforms. You can encrypt on one platform and decrypt on a different platform without exposing the data during transport. For more information about the Townsend AES encryption APIs click here.
Tokenization for PHP Developers
Tokenization is an alternative data protection method that preserves the format of the original data. The Townsend Alliance Token Manager solution provides tokenization services to PHP applications and applications on all over major operating systems.

6 Quick Ways to Use Social Media for Branding
by smallbiztrends, Guest Blogger
- Created: September 12, 2013, 10:06 am
While there's no overnight success when it comes to converting social media followers to customers, there are some strategies you can implement immediately to see results. Remember the importance of branding – every social interaction says something about your brand. Here's how to make sure it says exactly what you want your brand to convey:
1. Upload Consistent Avatars
If you've got an old logo for your Twitter icon, your new company logo for Facebook and a product image on Google +, you're sending a mixed message to your followers and customers. Stick to a single avatar across all channels so that visitors build a mental connection from the social platform back to your site.
Use a high-quality version (large pixel size) of your company logo, unless you're branding yourself, in which case you should use a really great smiling photograph. The reason to use a large image size is that sometimes others download your logo from social sites if they write about your company, so you want it to be as high quality as possible.
2. Use Similar Colors and Design Across Platforms
In addition to ensuring that your images are the same on all social media profiles, it's important to deliver a similar look across the board. This, too, should tie in with what you're doing on your business' website.
Twitter allows you to upload a custom background to your profile. Facebook and Google + provide a large banner photo or image up top. These are valuable real estate locations, and they provide you with the opportunity to use similar color and design elements to integrate with your company logo colors and the design of your site. A visitor should be able to recognize your brand from any social page they visit.
3. Deliver Consistent Messaging
Develop a voice that speaks to what your company is all about. If you provide useful tips for your audience on Facebook in a professional tone, make sure you're not using all caps and slang ("OMG THIS BLOG POST ROXX!") on Twitter, as an example.
Your social updates represent your company so it's important, first of all, to maintain a professional voice, and second, to be consistent. Visitors should know what to expect when browsing your social profiles.
This is especially important if specific qualifies are key to the impression you want to convey: luxury, formality, trust, professionalism or other attributes. If one of those types of attributes is important to your brand, you need to convey that attribute throughout your social messaging.
4. Provide Unique Content on Each Channel
That being said, you shouldn't duplicate content across all social channels. It's fine to share the same blog post, as an example, but find a new way to present it for each channel.
Ideally, you want to give people a reason to follow you on all platforms. If you're delivering the same identical update on all at exactly the same time, there's no reason for them to do that.
Diversify your communication strategy for each. Mix up what you offer, as in this example:
- On Twitter, share relevant links from our blog and other industry sites
- On Facebook, share videos our audience appreciates, as well as answer questions about our products
- On LinkedIn, actively participate in industry groups
- On Google+, engage with other users and start a dialogue
5. Check for "Unofficial" Pages, Claim Them, and Brand Them
Check social sites to make sure there are not already pages set up that you haven't claimed.
This can happen on review sites like Yelp. Look for instructions on how to claim your profile, such as here for Yelp.
On sites like LinkedIn, there may be a company page but no one is listed as the Administrator and therefore no one can update the page. So you have to contact LinkedIn to be able to assign administrators.
Or it may be a situation where someone has used your company name without permission, in which case you will have to contact the social network and report the unauthorized use. Facebook has a form to report impersonations of individuals or companies.
6. Focus on 2 to 4 Social Sites
It is possible to go overboard when it comes to joining social media sites. Sure, you want to reach as many people as possible, but you'll do better to zero in on only as many as you have time to update. Think deep, not wide.
When you focus, it is easier to develop a consistent message and brand visibility.
Remember, the more effort you put into social media, the better the results. Aim for a consistent, engaging experience, and you will attract new followers and, eventually, customers.

As I entered the activity room, residents were hard at work making comfort bears for the hospital.
Our Home seamstress, Ruth Swart, was busy sewing patterns while Bunny Laidlaw, Pat DeBaun, and Wanda Noyes stuffed them. Each bear took on its own personality.
Twenty Senior Bridge members filled the activity room at Clara Welch. Rumorhas it they love playing bridge at the Home because of the wonderful homemade cookies prepared by our cooks.
On Wednesday, residents and staff gathered to test their memory skills for our surprise activity. Some folks may think that our residents might have a hard time at this kind of game, but I tend to have a problem with instant recall.
Jeanette Hansen and Dot Gardner were the ``big'' winners of the game and for their prize they put their order into the kitchen for a special meal.
Resident Dr. Ralph Veenema together with Fred Blatt had taken on the task of repairing a statuette of a character from Leatherstocking Tales. Ralph found the damaged statuette in a barn and brought it to the Home. Repairs were completed which sparked the interest of many who wanted more knowledge of Leatherstocking Tales.
All gathered in the living room and listened to Dottie Bly play the piano to patriotic music which was a great introduction into Ralph Veenema sharing about his fabulous find of the statuette Hawkeye. Guest Paul Kuhn, dressed in attire of the period, shared information about the Leatherstocking Tales as well and how this area became known as the Leatherstocking Region.
Birdwatchers enjoyed a video about hawks, which are very prevalent in our area.
Laughter could be heard coming from the living room when residents watched the romantic comedy ``Bringing Up Baby'' starring Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. Oh, those good old comedies!
We have had some cold weather but the warmth returned and with the trees being filled with glorious colors, it was time for one more final boat trip. Due to the generosity of Tony Gambino and Hank and Dottie Phillips, residents once again toured the lake on pontoon boats. The trees were filled with the brilliant reds and yellows of the fall. It was a perfect day.
"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower'' -- Albert Camus.
Home Notes
Home Notes: Another busy week at the Home
As I entered the activity room, residents were hard at work making comfort bears for the hospital.
- Home Notes
- April activities fool many as spring comes, goes There were many April fool jokes played here at Clara Welch Thanksgiving Home on April 1. Some of us found our door name plates turned upside down or swapped with one from another door and furniture and objects were mysteriously moved around in our rooms. The dining room was completely transformed from its usual formal setting into a hodpodge of mismatched china and … horrors, plastic tablecloths and paper napkins. Each table was decorated with a different theme, Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Easter. Christmas carols played in the background. We suspect that Dee Bouck, of Personal Care and John Santello, Activities Director, were mainly responsible for this mayhem.
- Pete Rose on deck for TLC The man known to legions of baseball fans as Charlie Hustle still isn't being considered for induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
- Holiday celebrations have begun We have decked the halls of the home with garland, the greenhouses delivered a magnificent wreath for the door and the largest poinsettias we've ever seen, with pristine white cyclamen to accent the tables.
- Home welcomes new residents We honored our residents who are veterans on Veterans Day, including Alberta Bowes, Bill Bowes, Janet Gorman, Art Laidlaw, Wally Pickhardt, Ralph Veenema and Grace Welsh. It is wonderful to have so many residents who served our country.
Summer has been busy at the home
In the spring we held a workshop to create a shared vision of a summer program that would provide meaningful and enriching experiences. Residents and staff partnered to brainstorm creative ideas, then a planning committee of residents and staff worked out the details to organize and schedule the events from June through August. We've had many enjoyable and actionpacked days, and our journey will continue in August.
Home Notes: Celebrations abound at the Thanksgiving Home
April was a month of celebrations and much to appreciate. We had a 90th birthday celebration for Wanda Noyes on April 4 including her family and friends. Personal care staff Dee Bouck worked with residents to hand paint Easter eggs for the tree in the activity room.
Home Notes: Workshops held for Thanksgiving Home residents
We welcomed Linda Keller, Ph.D. of the Bassett Research Institute and Ida Baker of NYCAMH who presented a six-week workshop for residents and staff.
Home Notes: Residents enjoy harvest dinner
The month of October was absolutely GOURD-geous at The Thanksgiving Home. We started off the month with a beautiful and festive harvest dinner for both staff and residents. As one big family, we sat around warm plates of turkey, fluffy mashed potatoes, delicious corn casserole and fresh rolls.
Home Notes: Many surprises, much fun in September
"Rainbows apologize for angry skies." -- Sylvia Voirol
The month of September began on a damp note at the home. The rains of Hurricane Irene, flooded basements andwashed out roadways making it impossible for some staff to get to work during their scheduled times. Thank you to all who helped cover for each other during the rains!
Home Notes: August is opera season
"Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you." - Langston Hughes There is a never a shortage of humor at the Thanksgiving Home, andAugust was no different.

My mother and I used to go here several years ago and it was great, good prices, nice quaint restaurant. I took my daughter there last nite and was disappointed by the food. The waitress should've been embarrassed to serve vegetables that looked as unappetizing as ours and brown tartar sauce, dressing the consistency of jello, etc. Will never go back
Posted by Gloria Gold on 10/15/2013
I eat at this local seafood restaurant all the time. I just tried their lobster special. Live 2lb LOBSTER cooked perfect, it was so tender and juicy. The price was reasonable and the service was fast. I have never had a bad meal at this restaurant, recommend this place to everyone who want fresh fish and great lobsters.

The best place to eat fish
Posted by George S. on 06/10/2013
Me and my wife always look for new places to eat and we came across this seafoos restaurant in Boynton . Lot of our friends recommended this place before.We made it there on a Friday night it was busy but not a long wait. I had the mediterranean Bronzino and my wife had the Lobster Fra Diavlo. Both dishes were OUTSTANDING! This place is definitely on our regular restaurants to go too. Fresh Fish , great service we will be back!
Posted by Sherry on 04/28/2013
Great food excellent value. Love their signature soup the manhattan fish chowder, very unique and tasty. They have a very good honey wheat bread, very good with butter. The early bird menu has a very nice fresh seafood selection, generously portioned with dessert and coffee included. The service was excellent. Highly recommend this place.
Posted by Gloria on 04/21/2013
I saw the ad for lobster special for Thursdays and Fridays . So we decided to try a Thursday night with 4 of my friends. Our reservation was on time, and the place was packed . People waiting outside.We had a great waitress and the lobsters were cooked perfect. This place is great , it was our first time but not the last! I can only recommend it to everybody to try it. We shall return.
Posted by ralph on 04/17/2013

Temperatures at the French Riviera soared to a new high as Mallika Sherawat stepped out on the red carpet in a daring golden gown. The Haryanvi femme fatale ensured flashbulb frenzy with her choice of a knotted, cleavage revealing outfit at the screening of the French film Copie Conforme at the 63rd international film festival, in Cannes.
After two relatively sober outfits at the screening of Wall Street Money Never Sleeps and Hisss, Mallika has gone back to her old tactic of shock and awe.
Fashion designer Rohit Gandhi feels her choice of the gown may have come after being bitten by the 22-feet python that she swathed herself with a day earlier.
"I think she has dressed for a red light area not the red carpet. It's a desperate attempt to seek attention, and I think she's embarrassing the other Indian actresses who are also there."
Her decision to leave the best for the last may well be a clever ploy to draw attention to herself even as Aishwarya Rai [Unlink]'s gowns and saree grabs headlines every day. Fashion designer Rina Dhaka says,
"Mallika doesn't have Aishwarya's face, so she can't do much about that. She's an attractive person, but there's something that goes wrong with her in front of the camera. She starts drawing attention to her body. I wouldn't say this gown is bad but it certainly doesn't flatter her body. She's buxom, and this gown makes her look cheesy."
But Mallika is unapologetic about seeking attention. She recently described herself as a "horse with blinkers who no one can stop" in an interview to Indiatimes. com.

Start the new year with a sculpture class
12:56pm Monday 31st December 2012 in News By Karen Bate
PEOPLE can start the new year by taking a sculpture masterclass at Dorset County Council's Avon Heath Country Park.
Each one-day session will provide an opportunity to work with wood, stone and a variety of other materials, plus a chance to try out a range of carving techniques and patterns.
Led by Mark Vyvyan-Penney, creator of the giant play sculptures at the country park, near Ringwood, the workshops are suitable for beginners as well as those with more experience.
A class costs £25 if booked in advance or £30 on the day. The fee includes all materials and tools, plus tea, coffee and home made biscuits.
Masterclasses are being held from 10am to 4pm on: Sunday, January 6 Saturday, January 12 Sunday, January 20 Saturday, January 26 Sunday, February 3 Saturday, February 9.
There are only eight places available each day, so booking is advisable. And, if you buy five classes, you get one free.
Lunch is not included, so you can either bring your own, or buy food from the Avon Heath Café.
For more information contact Mark Vyvyan-Penney on 01305 812125, or email email@example.com.
To book a place, call Katy Scanlon on 01425 478082 or drop into the Discovery Centre at Avon Heath Country Park.

Oh boy! I can't wait! Mommy also says I'm a sled dog, so I get to join this really cool club just for huskies. I get to play with dogs that look just like me and get to learn how to be a real sled dog, just like Balto!

Redding Police are investigating a burglary that occurred at a Sport Hill Road residence sometime over the weekend.
According to police, someone forced entry to the residence when the home was unoccupied between Jan. 17 and Jan. 19. The burglary was reported on Jan. 20 at 10:56 a.m.
It is believed only electronics were taken from the residence.
"Anybody who saw any suspicious vehicles in that area would be asked to contact Officer Vadas," Police Chief Douglas Fuchs said.
A Redding resident reported a road rage incident that allegedly occurred on Great Pasture Road on Jan. 17 around 5:05 p.m.
According to police, a pickup truck allegedly cut off the resident and then sped off. No plate was ever obtained for the vehicle, police said.

It isn't terribly hard to find Christians who claim to be persecuted for their beliefs.

The worst version of "The Little Drummer Boy" I've heard was playing in a pizza parlor on Christian radio. It was a duet, male and female, with mismatched vibrato in their voices. The arrangement was basically New Age, country, soft jazz, and I think they'd reworked the lyrics to make them more Christian. Yes, it …

You could stand on a corner and look around until a restaurant sign draws you in. But we've got a better idea. Each week, Patch's Jersey Shore region picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out.
Here's this week's choice:
China Town, 400 Lacey Rd., Whiting. 732-350-8855
The scene: Located in the Stop & Shop plaza near Routes 70 and 530, China Town offers a simple dining option for those who might work up an appetite food shopping and can't quite wait long enough to get home and cook. Then again, it may be one of those days when you wish someone else would do the cooking for you. The good news is, orders will be delivered with a $10 minimum purchase. China Town's casual setting provides a quick and easy way to dine out while completing errands in nearby shopping centers.
The eats: Whether it's General Tso's chicken, egg drop soup, sesame chicken or shrimp fried rice, you'll find all the Chinese dishes you know and love on this menu, along with a nice touch of Cantonese, Hunan and Szechuan combination platters. Don't forget to leave room for that egg roll after your entrée, and enjoy a fortune cookie and hot tea after your dinner.

Mornington Peninsula's delicate Pinots
Continuing our Pinot Noir week is this collection of tasting notes on Pinot Noirs from Australia's greatest concentration of Pinot Noir producers, in the Mornington Peninsula south of Melbourne in the Australian state of Victoria (see map ). Unlike yesterday's focus, Central Otago , there is no contract winery in this lush pastoral landscape, dotted with grand houses and estates, on a peninsula cooled by the Southern Ocean. Instead, about 200 growers tend to follow the Burgundy model of growing their own vines and making their own wine. Because the area is so close to Melbourne, there are more than 60 cellar doors (Australian...

Owner Occupied
The housing rehabilitation loan program rules and regulations state that City financing is to be used mainly to correct housing code violations and other substandard conditions; these funds are not intended for general property improvements, new construction, or what amounts to redecorating.
To be eligible for an owner occupied loan you must:
- Live in the program area
- Be the owner of record of the property
- have a gross household income within program income guidelines
Eligible Rehabilitation Costs
Most eligible rehabilitation costs can be divided into five areas:
- Health and safety issues: conditions that are hazardous to the people living there--fire hazards, lack of fire escape routes, missing or non-functioning smoke alarms, electric shock hazards, falling hazards, lead-based paint hazards, asbestos hazards, sanitation problems, vermin, etc. Security problems also may need to be addressed in some situations.
- Structural issues: problems with the foundation, the framing, the flooring, the decking, or roof covering that threaten to shorten the useful life of the house. This can include settling, termite damage, water damage, or structural failure due to inadequate original construction.
- Functional issues: problems with the layout and built-in features of the house--privacy, trafficways, clothes storage, food storage, dining space, kitchen work area. In some cases the size of the house or of particular rooms may be a functional problem, and limited remodeling or add-on construction may be considered.
- Heating and energy efficiency: excessive utility bills, drafty living quarters, uneven heat distribution, etc., which may be addressed through a combination of weather- stripping, insulation, door/window repair/replacement, and redesign/ replacement of obsolete heating systems. Central air conditioning generally is not a priority in this program, but it may be considered as part of a new central heating system in cases where adequate climate control cannot be achieved through natural ventilation alone and if the project budget allows.
- Appearance issues: Although City financing is not available for merely cosmetic changes, removal of serious eyesores that detract from the value of the property and neighborhood should be included in a rehabilitation plan. These include junk cars, trash, dead trees, dilapidated outbuildings, and nuisances as defined by the City health code.
Solutions to the kinds of problems listed above may turn out to be relatively simple and inexpensive in some cases, or may require expensive and complicated remodeling and reconstruction in other cases. There is usually a range of choices to consider, depending on how much money is available, the over-all condition of the house, and how the problem fits into the property owner's list of priorities.
For example, a property owner who has only a small amount of equity to work with and who may be planning to sell the property in the foreseeable future may prefer to repair and weatherstrip existing windows; another owner may see a long- range benefit in replacing all the windows and doors with modern, energy-efficient units.
After considering limited solutions to individual problems it may be decided that a more comprehensive approach is needed in some cases. For example, gutting and completely modernizing a room or area that has multiple health, safety, structural, functional, heating, or appearance problems may turn out to be more cost-effective than a piecemeal solution to each problem.
It may be a smart move to repair or replace some items, such as worn shingles or old water heaters that are still functional but will need to be replaced in the near future, when City financing may not be available.
Priority will be given to essential repairs that must be carried out as part of a contract for improvements under a general contractor. When borrowing capacity is limited, changes which are less crucial and which can be done at any time, such as replacement of worn carpeting, will be given lower priority.
In some cases, the homeowner may want to upgrade a part of the house beyond what the City determines is eligible for this program. However, the improvement might still be accomplished through the contract work as long as the additional cost is calculated and the owner agrees to deposit personal funds in the loan escrow account to pay for it.

Now that the "who attended which conference this week" gossip chatter is over, we have a bigger question: Who is attending Larry Page's wedding today? As previously reported, Larry is getting married today, and Searcharazzi is reporting to you live from an undisclosed location at the island location, if only in our minds.
In any case, Searcharazzi has spent the better half of the month gathering the details of Larry's and Lucy Southworth's pending nuptials, to be hosted by Richard Branson on Necker Island. A special thanks to Valleywag's spies for keeping a virtual wedding planner with all the details. Here are some of the juicier bits:
Celeb guests, why John Battelle and Al Gore won't attend, and the surprise best man after the jump…
The San Fran Chronicle first pegged the wedding date as December 8.
Lucy's sister is actress Carrie Southworth, who is married to Coddy Johnson, the field director of George W. Bush's 2004 presidential campaign , who is in turn the son of George W's Yale roommate, Clay Johnson. Oh, and Coddy's also the Prez's godson.
While it is rumored that a total of three presidents will attend the wedding, Al Gore will not, as he will receive his Nobel Peace Prize at a ceremony in Oslo, Norway, the following Monday. While that's a better excuse than "I have to wash my hair," there are numerous reports of private planes being sent around the globe to fetch guests.
Today, the Times Online revealed that the Clintons will not be attending, as the Mrs. is in Iowa campaigning. It has been rumored that President Carter will.
The guest list of 600 also includes Bono, but not John Battelle, who will reportedly be at a friend's birthday in Morocco. Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp will also make an appearance. Oh, and all the guests have singed confidentiality agreements.
And while Reuters says that Branson is to be the best man, Valleywag raised some questions on why Larry's brother or Sergey were passed over, if this is true.
Opinions expressed in the article are those of the guest author and not necessarily Search Engine Land.
