For the Star Beacon
With the cold days of winter still upon us maybe it time you got out of the house and did something fun. Are you one of the many firearms enthusiasts who are thinking about purchasing a new handgun before they supposedly ban them all?
With the wide array of hand guns out there feeding the frenzy are you unsure of what you want, a .40, a .45, a 9mm, a .380. Maybe a pistol, how about a .357, a .38 or even a new plinker .22. What if you're a new shooter and really don't know what you want?
You know the gun shops won't let you shoot them before you purchase them and what if you get it home and once you've put a few rounds through it you don't like it. The gun shop won't take it back just because you don't like it or it kicks too much. So what are you to do, sell it and take a loss, put it in a safe and keep it for posterity?
Naw, check this out, why not "try it B4 you buy it." Amboy Rifle Club is offering you a unique opportunity for you to "try it B4 you buy it."
The plan

n No personal firearms will be allowed.
n Participants must be 21 years old, no exceptions.
What's happening
This one-of-a-kind event will be held at Amboy Rifle Club on Saturday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. at its Clubhouse, located at 100 Hawthorne Drive in Conneaut. The cost is $20 per participant and this will get you the following:
Each participant will be allowed to shoot 5 rounds from 3 separate caliber handguns, 15 rounds total. The firing range will be under the strict supervision of Dale Sunderlin a multi Certified NRA Firearms Instructor and a NRA Certified Range Safety Officer at all times.

Come on down!
New regulations
New statewide and specific site bass fishing regulations are now in effect for the 2013-14 license year, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
Statewide, a new 12-inch minimum length limit has been implemented by the Division of Wildlife on all public waters for largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass where there are no other special regulations. The daily limit of five fish per day remains in effect for black bass, singly or in combination.
Some reservoirs that previously had special regulations were changed to the new statewide 12-inch length limit. The 12-15 inch slot length limit was removed from Timbre Ridge Lake, and 15-inch minimum length limits were removed from:
n Caesar Creek Lake (Warren, Clinton and Greene counties).
n Kenton Lake (Gallia County).
n Lake Milton, including the Mahoning River connecting Berlin Lake and Lake Milton (Mahoning County).
n Lake Vesuvius (Lawrence County).
n Monroe Lake (Monroe County).
n Monroeville Reservoir (Huron County).
n Pike Lake (Pike County).
n Sippo Lake (Stark County).
Two new regulations have been incorporated to increase the size and number of bass. These special regulations include a reduced number of largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass that anglers may keep per day and split daily limits, where anglers may only keep a specified number of fish of a certain length.
The first regulation is a special 15-inch length limit with a four fish split daily limit. Anglers may keep two fish under 15 inches and two fish 15 inches or larger, for four fish per day. The split daily limit allows limited harvest of bass less than 15 inches to promote growth of bass to larger sizes. This regulation is referred to as a "15, 2-and-2." It is in effect at these reservoirs:
n Acton Lake (Preble and Butler counties).
n Findley Lake (Lorain County).
n Hargus Lake (Pickaway County).
n Highlandtown Lake (Columbiana County).
n Lake Snowden (Athens County).
n New Lyme Lake (Ashtabula County).
n Paint Creek Lake (Highland and Ross counties).
n Salt Fork Lake (Guernsey County).
n Silver Creek Lake (Summit County).
n Upper Sandusky No. 2 (Wyandot County).
The second split daily limit is referred to as a "Super Slot," a 14-20-inch slot length limit intended to increase the chance of catching trophy bass. Anglers may keep two fish under 14 inches and one fish 20 inches or larger, for three fish per day. However, anglers are not allowed to keep any fish in the protected slot. This regulation will be limited to the following waters:
n All American Electric Power (AEP) ponds and reservoirs, including AEP ReCreation Lands, Conesville Coal Lands and Avondale Wildlife Area, with all ponds and reservoirs included in each daily limit per angler (Coshocton, Guernsey, Muskingum, Morgan, Noble and Perry counties).
n Belmont Lake (Belmont County).
n Guilford Lake (Columbiana County).
n Killdeer Plains Reservoir (Wyandot County).
n Kiser Lake (Champaign County).
n Long Lake (Summit County).
n Oxbow Lake (Defiance County).
n Spencer Lake (Medina County).
n St. Joseph Wildlife Area ponds (Williams County).
n Tycoon Lake (Gallia County).
n Wingfoot Lake (Portage County).
n Wolf Run Lake (Noble County).
These adjustments in regulations were developed by the Division of Wildlife through an analysis of historical fish surveys, creel surveys and angler-reported tournament results, an evaluation of management options and fisheries objectives as well as extensive angler input through online surveys, creel surveys, open houses and meetings with sportsmen and women.
Ohio has other special regulations for black bass at a number of waters around the state that remain in effect. These include traditional 14-inch, 15-inch and 18-inch minimum length limits, and 12-15 inch slot length limits, all with five fish daily limits on Lake Erie and inland waters, and six fish daily limits on the Ohio River. Visit www.wildohio.com for more information.
The Division of Wildlife conducts an annual drawing to fish for trout in the half-mile section of Cold Creek that runs through Castalia State Fish Hatchery. Participation is determined by computer generated random drawing.
The application period runs through March 31. Applications must be submitted online by March 31 or earlier to be considered. Go to the Wild Ohio Customer Center and click "Lottery Applications."
Applicants 16 years old and older must hold a valid fishing license to apply.
The application fee is $3.00 and anglers may apply once annually. If the same name appears on multiple applications, all applications will be disqualified and the fee(s) forfeited.
Independent drawings will be held for both youth season (summer), which includes 15 years old and younger, and an adult season (spring and fall) which includes 16 years old and older. Each person must submit a separate application. Application fees are non-refundable.
Permit holders may bring two.adults and three youths and you may participate only once per season as either the permittee or a partner. Participants 16 and older must hold a valid fishing license.
Anglers will be able to check the website (in the Wild Ohio Customer Center) under their customer number to find out if they were chosen as participants. Applicants not chosen to participate will not be notified. Anglers chosen to participate will receive instructions on how to download the necessary permit and instructions from our website, including the fishing date.
The permit to fish applies to the successfully drawn applicant and his/her partner(s) and permits are transferable. All participants must be properly licensed.
Got Venison? Got a little free time? How about experimenting with do-it-yourself venison jerky? If you're like me, the start of a new year usually means a freezer full of venison and some free time, a perfect combination for creating jerky for my friends and family. It's easy and only takes a few hours.
What kind to make?
First, decide on your type of jerky. There are two kinds:
n Ground meat jerky.
n Muscle jerky, made usually from round steak.
Whichever you choose, be sure to thaw the meat in the refrigerator. It's advised to use meat that's been previously frozen since the freezing process helps eliminate bacteria growth in the meat.
Most recipes require from 2-5 pounds of meat, so be sure to thaw the correct amount needed for your recipe. When using steak, it's easier to slice the meat thinly if it's slightly frozen. Slice thin, bite-size pieces and cut with the grain. Also when using steak, most recipes require it to marinate overnight, up to24 hours before drying. Ground meat may require a few hours and up to a day or two of curing, depending on the recipe, but when using a prepared mix like Backwoods by LEM, it can be mixed and dried immediately after mixing. There are several different ways to dry meat: with a smoker, a dehydrator or an oven; my guide covers oven drying.
Cure — Years ago, I made jerky at home with various recipes I found in wild game cookbooks. It tasted great; however, the recipes usually didn't include cure, and my jerky wouldn't last long due to mold growth. What is "cure?"
Historically, cures were used to preserve meat safely by using nitrates and nitrates to cure meat and enhance its color. The use of a cure reduced the risk of botulism, but the amounts of nitrates and nitrites must be used correctly to be effective, making use of prepared cures a safe and easy choice for jerky making.
Be sure cure is included in the seasoning you purchase or that it's an ingredient in your homemade recipe. Cure is used in small amounts and inhibits bacterial growth during the lower temperatures used in the drying process.
Oven drying using temperatures of at least 160 degrees is recommended for killing bacteria, although moisture could still lead to mold growth if not completely dried or if not stored correctly. You'll find many different brands of seasonings with cure available for making jerky, making the entire process foolproof and simple.
If you choose to use your homemade recipe, LEM also makes a cure for purchase and recommends a quarter-teaspoon per pound of meat used.
Salt — Salt is used as a preservative and canning salt is ideal to use since it contains no additives. Table salt can sometimes add a metallic taste or funny flavor to jerky. You can find canning salt near canning supplies at your grocery store. Cures do contain salt, so you may choose to minimize the use of additional salt in your recipe.
Spices — Most of the ingredients found in homemade recipes you already have in kitchen. Common ingredients include: garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, brown sugar, molasses, cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. Have fun and play with the seasoning variations and amount of heat in your jerky to create your own special flavor. Some like it sweet, others like it hot and spicy.
Liquid Smoke — Liquid smoke is another fun way to vary the flavor of your jerky. You'll find several brands on the market, as well as a variety of flavorings like original, mesquite, hickory or barbecue, to name a few. Liquid smoke is actually a concentrated flavoring produced from smoke, which is condensed and combined with water. Follow the directions on the brand you choose to determine amount to use. LEM Liquid Smoke recommends a half-teaspoon per 5 pounds of meat, while other brands may suggest a different amount per pound.
Equipment needed
A working oven and a few basic pieces of equipment are needed to make jerky:
n Jerky seasoning packet, with cure included (I used LEM Backwoods Original. Or use your own recipe from scratch, with cure added. Meat cure is available at most grocery stores, butcher shops or where jerky-making products are sold.)
n Large bowl for mixing.
n Measuring spoons.
n Drying trays or racks (mesh), approximately one tray per pound of meat (Spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.)
n Drip pan, placed under the drying racks in the oven.
n Jerky gun, when using ground meat.
Jerky guns are quick and easy to use. Similar to using a caulking gun, just squeeze and quickly press strips of jerky onto drying racks. If you don't have a jerky gun, you can also simply form jerky strips with your hands and flatten to a quarter-inch with a rolling pin between sheets of waxed paper.
Now that you have your venison ready and your equipment assembled, you are ready to begin. Be prepared to stay home, as you'll be leaving your oven on for the next four to six hours. Snowstorm coming? Cold and rainy weather keeping you indoors? What a great time to make some venison jerky!
n Mix ingredients as your recipe indicates and blend with your ground meat using clean hands.
n Let mix rest for several minute.
n Pack the ground and seasoned meat into the jerky gun, taking care to eliminate air pockets; wash hands.
n Begin carefully pressing the ground meat onto the racks in strips about an eighth-of-an-inch apart
n Stack racks on top of drip pan.
n Set oven to 160-200 degrees, as your recipe indicates.
n Place in center of oven for approximately two to three hours.
n After 2.5 hours, turn strips over, rotate racks and return to oven for another two to three hours.
n After removing dried venison from the oven, blot off any excess moisture from the meat and let dry completely before storing.
It is recommended to always store jerky in the refrigerator so it lasts longer. Store jerky in a paper bag or tightly sealed glass jar. Storing in plastic bags is not recommended as it can lead to condensation and mold growth. After two weeks to one month, it's advised to freeze uneaten jerky to maintain its freshness.
Safety guidelines
n Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water while handling meat.
n Use clean equipment and utensils.
n Defrost meat in the refrigerator.
n Marinate meat in the refrigerator.
n Minimum temperature used for drying is 160 degrees to kill bacteria.
n Store homemade jerky in refrigerator for one to two months.
With minimal prep time and little equipment required, making homemade venison jerky is easy, rewarding and a great way to share your wild game with friends and family. It's a great snack to throw in your pocket on your next hunt or outdoor adventure and a great way to spend a few hours during those months when hunting is limited and time is available.
n The Amboy Sharp Shooters 4H Club will be holding its annual registration Saturday at the Amboy Rifle Club from 9: a.m. until noon. This will be your final opportunity to sign up for this year's 4H Club featuring the discipline's of Rifle and Archery. For more information, call 344-6208 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
n The ODNR Division of Watercraft will be conducting another Boater's Education Class at Lake Erie boat Club 1207 Broad St. in Conneaut on Saturday from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Call 964-0518 to register. A $5 fee for material will be charged.
n Monroe Sportsman's Club is having its Spring and Summer Trap League. It will consist of 1,000 single targets. You may sign up and shoot anytime from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Cost is $17 / 100 of which $2 will go toward trophies. For more information, call Ron Berrier at 228-8900 or Sara Dean at 223-0244

The global economic crisis hit migrants and their financial well-being particularly hard, in some countries opening a wider gap in employment rates between foreign-born and native-born workers. The research offered here examines how immigrants fare in changing labor markets, the effects of the most severe economic crisis in decades on immigrant employment and migration patterns, and policymaking as it relates to adjusting immigration levels and opening or narrowing labor markets for foreign-born workers.
Immigrants have been disproportionately hit by the global economic crisis that began in 2008 and now confront a number of challenges. The report, which has a particular focus on Germany, Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and United States finds that the unemployment gap between immigrant and native workers has widened in many places.
This important MPI report challenges the conventional wisdom about the immigrant workforce, using a sophisticated new method of analysis that permits deeper examination of how workers – immigrant and native-born – fare by economic sector, the skill level of their jobs, and educational attainment.
Despite conventional wisdom that the U.S. immigrant workforce is shaped like an hourglass—wide at the top and the bottom but narrow in the middle— in reality immigrants are more evenly dispersed across the skills spectrum. This report shows that the fastest growth in immigrant employment since 2000 has occurred in middle-skilled jobs.
Briefing and discussion of the release of the latest paper by MPI's Labor Markets Initiative: The Impact of Immigrants in Recession and Economic Expansion.
A broad consensus exists that the long-term impact of immigration on Americans' average income is small but positive, improving employment, productivity, and income. In the short term, however, immigration may slightly reduce native employment and average income. This report provides an analysis of short- and long-run impacts of immigration over the business cycle.
This statement from the fourth plenary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration focuses on immigrant integration and how to shift focus back onto integration as a continuous and interactive process, even amidst the tumult of a persistent economic crisis.
This report analyzes employment and unemployment patterns from 1994 to 2008, offers possible explanations for why labor market outcomes for immigrants have been more cyclical, and proposes possible public policy solutions for mitigating immigrants' vulnerability to the business cycle.
This report, commissioned by the BBC World Service, seeks to explore the myriad impacts of the global financial crisis that began in September 2008 on migration flows, immigration policies, remittances, and on migrants themselves. Select countries and regions are examined in detail to highlight overarching trends and regional differences.

BREAKING NEWS: One trillion dollars for more war
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon wants another $99.7 billion for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to information provided to The Associated Press.
Developing story here.
Wow. We're in it too deep now to get out, but one can't help but wonder how that money could be spent at home.
UPDATE: Quite clearly I am math impaired. See comments.
A trillion? That'd be 999.7 billion, not 99.7 billion (which is .097 trillion, not .97 trillion).
But it's still a lot of moula. However you spell that.
Breaking news: reporters can't do maths!
It's hardly breaking news that a journalist can't do math.
My bad. That's what I get for trying to multi-task.

O'Shea currently has 5 different costumes for dancers
- Royal and Gold Jumper (PreSchool-Beginner I )
- Royal Velvet Dress (Advanced Beginner)
- Performance Dress
- Boys Costume
- Eire Team Costume
Costume Day
Costume Day is mandatory and is held the first Saturday of December each year. The deposit is due NOVEMBER 1 - if a balance is due, it is to be paid upon receipt of the costume, or by March. The COSTUME DAY is announced at parent orientation each fall. All registered dancers are required to attend Costume Day. ALL Dancers are either measured for a new costume or fitted into currently available costume as determined by our costumers.
ALL costumes & associated pieces are to be returned to OID in late November each year, even if they still fit. This is so they can be evaluated for condition & reissued.
Each O'Shea costume has hand- made elements – the beginner dress and cape, the vest and cravat, the fabric and crochet capes. These pieces are made by local dressmakers and require embroidery and construction time. They are not "off the rack". This is why attendance at the costume day is so important as it gives our dressmakers enough time to make sure everyone has a costume.
If lost, damaged or replaced, the full replacement cost will be charged to your account. For dancers leaving the school and not returning a costume in a timely fashion, both replacement cost, late fees, and/or and restocking fees will apply.
Measuring for Costume Days
When your dancer is measured she should wear a camisole or tight fitting tee shirt with shorts. Your son should wear a t-shirt and a pair of pants with a waistband. Boys should wear pants that fit at the waist in order to accurately determine the length of the vest.
Dancers should periodically try on their costume at home, especially in advance of performances or competitions. If you are buying new clothes for your dancer because he or she has grown it is possible his or her costume no longer fits. For a growth spurt between costume days you can make an appointment for a costume check with our costumer (email@example.com).

All three Apple Valley-Rosemount teams still are alive and kicking as the Minnesota State High School League state football tournaments get underway this week.
Rosemount and Eastview face steep challenges when they play in the Class 6A quarterfinals at the Metrodome, while Apple Valley will play an undefeated team in the Class 5A quarterfinals in St. Paul.
Rosemount and Eastview are playing their best football of the season at the right time.
Eastview (7-3) has won six of its last seven games, including last Friday's 36-21 victory over Mounds View. (Click here to listen to an audio archive of that game.)
And, Rosemount (6-4) has won five of its last six games, including last Friday's 7-6 upset over Stillwater. (Click here to see photos from that game.)
Rosemount will play in the first Class 6A state tournament game ever—this is the first year of the large-school classification—when it meets top-seeded Edina (9-1) at 5 p.m. Thursday.
Eastview faces a challenging opponent of its own, taking on second-seeded Wayzata (8-2) at 5 p.m. Friday. Eastview and Wayzata are familiar with one another, as Wayzata defeated the Lightning, 24-7, in the season's second week.
Four of the eight teams in the Class 6A quarterfinals are from the South Suburban Conference. In additon to Rosemount and Eastview, Lakeville North and Prior Lake—the top two teams in the conference this year—will meet in quarterfinals at 8 p.m. Thursday. Prior Lake handed North its only loss of the regular season.
The quarterfinal winners will play in the semifinals Nov. 15 and 16 at the Metrodome.
Here is a glance at the results of Eastview and Rosemount so far this season:
• Aug. 30 vs. Burnsville (Win, 22-7)
• Sept. 7 at Wayzata (Loss, 24-7)
• Sept. 14 vs. Lakeville North (Loss, 24-7)

• Nov. 2 Section 3AAAAAA/4AAAAAA tournament at Stillwater (Win, 7-6)
• Nov. 8 Class 6A quarterfinals vs. Edina
Apple Valley's offense was in high gear during the Section 3AAAAA tournament, as the Eagles (8-2) rolled to a 38-14 victory over St. Louis Park in the semifinals and a 49-21 win over Farmington in last Friday's section championship game. (Click here to listen to an audio archive of that game.)
Whether the Eagles will continue their offensive firepower in the state tournament remains to be seen, as their quarterfinal opponent is traditional powerhouse Totino-Grace (10-0). Their game is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday at Griffin Stadium in St. Paul.
In other Class 5A quarterfinal games scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday, Elk River plays St. Thomas Academy at Osseo High School and Mankato West plays Owatonna at Lakeville North. Moorhead and Bemidji play at 6 p.m. Saturday at St. Cloud State University.

Next time you strap on your gloves to tackle the dirty dishes by hand to save energy, think again. Turns out, running a full load through the dishwasher can save 35% of the water used to do a load of dishes by hand. Just in case you need more incentive to use your dishwasher, here are some other tips to make it even more eco-friendly.
· Use energy-saving cycles. Choose a dishwasher that is both energy and water efficient. In the US, start with Energy Star rated appliances. They use 25% less energy than the mandated minimum.
· Turn down the heat. Most modern dishwashers have booster heaters to heat the water that comes from your home's water tank. Turning the water tank's thermostat down to 120 degrees will allow you to save energy without compromising the cleanliness.
· Utilize the no-heat drying feature. Doing this prevents your dishwasher from using the electric heat or a fan to dry the dishes. If you have an older dishwasher, simply turn the dishwasher off after the final rinse cycle is completed and open the door to air dry.
· Don't pre-rinse dishes. Modern dishwashers are capable of cleaning even the dirtiest of dishes. Scrape off food, then let the dishwasher do the rest.
· Wash only full loads. The dishwasher uses the same amount of water whether it's half-full or completely full.
· Set your washer to off-peak washing. Delay the start of your dishwasher for off-peak utility hours (some units have timers that will start the cycle at a programmed time). Some utilities offer reduced rates for energy used during this time period.

I wrote about acute mountain sickness (AMS) last week. Here in Colorado, it's a common occurrence, particularly among climbers coming up from lower elevations to climb cliffs and Fourteeners in the high country. How do you combat AMS? The best way is to ascend slowly and to spend enough time, usually several days, acclimating to the thin air.
Besides doing those two things, you can also try ginkgo biloba, an extract from the leaves of the ginkgo biloba tree and a herb used in China for over 4,000 years. Since a 1996 French study showed that it could provide protection for climbers going to altitude, subsequent research was unable to duplicate the amazing French results. So while the jury is still out about the usefulness of ginkgo biloba, it can be used as a possible remedy for climbers going above 8,000 feet.
After reading about the French study, Dr. Peter Hackett, a renowned expert and researcher on altitude sicknesses, did a study with 40 college students on 14,115-foot Pikes Peak. Half the subjects took ginkgo for five days before a quick auto trip up Pikes Peak and half took a placebo. The ginkgo group were 50% less likely to experience AMS as the placebo group. A follow-up study compared ginkgo with acetazolamide, an AMS drug, and found that the ginkgo didn't work as good.
Dr. Hacket still, however, recommends climbers use ginkgo biloba as part of their high-altitude acclimatization regimen. "Clearly it helps some people and it's safe," says Hackett. "It doesn't have as many side effects as Diamox. Since it's not harmful and there are studies showing it works for some people, it's worth a try."
Dr. Hackett advises taking twice-daily doses of 100mg of ginkgo biloba for five days before going up to altitude. Note that gingko is not controlled by the FDA so it can be hard to determine what dosage you're taking and its strength. Gingko also thins your blood so if you have a medical condition, you need to talk to your physician before taking it. A beneficial side effect is that gingko increases peripheral blood flow to your hands and feet, possibly warding off frostbite. Also bear in mind that ginkgo is not a cure for acute mountain sickness, but a possible remedy to prevent it.

OpenSUSE Participates in Smolt Hardware Profiler
In its upcoming version 11.1, the openSUSE Linux distro will be integrating the Smolt program, which collects hardware profiles in a central database from end users on a volunteer basis.
According to the Fedora community that started the Smolt project, openSUSE is the second Linux distro that has integrated the hardware profiler. The Novell-sponsored openSUSE project hopes through its participatory effort to gain a larger presence in the database. Its users, therefore, are encouraged to activate Smolt during openSUSE installation.
Participation is purely voluntary, as emphasized by both the Smolt project and openSUSE. In its privacy policy statement, the Smolt project clarifies that the assembled data can't be traced back to an individual computer; the unique ID stored is known only to the user. Even so, the project recommends using SELinux to secure the UUID file on the local system.
The Smolt home page shows statistics for registered devices and other configuration data. The project is also looking for volunteers to package and test the Smolt client on other Linux distros.

There are a ton of internship opportunities in and around DC. Most are unpaid though, so that can make it difficult if you can't afford to work for free 20 hours a week.
Some programs are better here than others. If you want to major in the hard sciences or anything like engineering, AU might not be the place for you. On the other hand, there are some programs that are continuously ranked very high nationwide. If you're looking to major in IR, PoliSci, or Communications, it really doesn't get much better than American.
There are a multitude of resources available to students in the School of International Service. SIS has many renowned professors, as well as one of the best academic buildings on campus as far as facilities go. The workload tends to be heavy, but the knowledge you come out with is worth it. Because American is in DC, internships for IR majors aren't hard to come by.
Easy to get an internship if you look. Easy to change your major. Advisors aren't always very committed and often it's tricky to get the classes you want, but there's always a way to get it to work for you.
Flexible requirements once you get past the university standards. Awesome connections in the school.

I've been writing for FEARnet for almost five years now, and in those five years I've been using the appropriate vocabulary for a horror site. I've used phrases like "flesh-chewing," and "gut-munching," but I never thought I'd be using phrases like "heartwarming" or "family friendly."
Well, I'm not about to start using "heartwarming," at least not without a healthy dose of irony or a cardio-related pun attached, but I'm going to have to use "family friendly" to describe Atari's remake of their 2600 classic Haunted House. Rebooted for the 21st century on the Wii and PC (and soon for Xbox Live Arcade) Haunted House seems like a perfect fit for you and your little monsters…but is it worth revisiting?
The game casts you as either the grandson or granddaughter of Samuel Silverspring, on the hunt for their missing grandfather in, where else, a haunted house. Within the walls of the house your character must solve simple puzzles, collect items, and ward off the house's ghoulish inhabitants with light sources ranging from their cell phone display to torches. It's a simple formula that does little to enhance itself over the blueprint of the original, but in this case simplicity works in its favor. While it may provide a hearty challenge for the younger set, even this grizzled old curmudgeon found the game to be remarkably enjoyable on its own merits.
What truly helps is the game's merciful lack of tacked-on motion controls. Instead of mapping everything to waggle gestures, developer ImaginEngine opted instead to treat the Wiimote/Nunchuck combo more like a traditional controller, forcing the player to waggle only when "frozen with fear" in the face of one of the game's ghostly goons. While this sort of control scheme can be cripplingly awful under some circumstances, like Capcom's Resident Evil Archives, it's a godsend for simpler games like this, especially with the other two versions of the title arriving on waggle-free platforms like the Xbox 360. The controls are clean and tight, and work well with a minimum of buttons.
Even the game's production values, as low as they may be, serve their purpose well. The 3D art works well within its low-polygon constraints, with a slightly angular, very cartoonish style that evokes a Burtonesque vibe similar to the Beetlejuice cartoon of the 90's. Sound is sparse, but gets the job done, with thunderclaps, creaking floorboards, and crying babies (!) providing a suitably spooky, but lighthearted soundscape in tune with the bouncy score. The 2D art, however, does bring things down a notch, with an unpolished look that makes the game look amateurish and overly cheap at times, especially during the game's slideshow style cutscenes.
As a whole, however, Haunted House is certainly better than you would expect given its pedigree. After all, it's based off a modestly popular title for a long-dead console that's been in the mothballs for almost thirty years. I may not have children (that I know of), but I can at least attest that this is one horror game that you can at least feel comfortable with them playing, and enjoy playing yourself. Me? I'm content to have such a lighthearted palate cleanser in between sessions of all the nastiness that I normally write about. Now if you'll pardon me, I have to go build up my vocabulary repertoire…what's another word for disembowel?

Lauren Graham: Independent Spirit
Life and Parenthood
She went on to earn a bachelor's degree from Barnard College and a master's in drama from Southern Methodist University. Like any struggling actor, she had moments of self-doubt. "I didn't have those looks. I wasn't that kind of girl," she says. "I knew I had to be smart. I always thought, I'm not prettier than other people, but maybe I can be funnier, or do a more interesting character." At 28 Graham made the pilgrimage to L.A. and soon began landing guest appearances on a slew of prime-time shows -- Caroline in the City (alongside her Parenthood costar and now boyfriend, Peter Krause) and Seinfeld. Then, in 2000, she snagged the role of Lorelai Gilmore.
Graham's character had a baby out of wedlock at 16; she was raising the girl, now a teenager (played by Alexis Bledel), while running a country inn. Lorelai was by turns shrewd and goofy, independent and insecure -- and she was her sweet, smart daughter's best friend. The show served as a wish-fulfillment fantasy for millions of young women and their mothers, and its rapid-fire writing earned critical acclaim. It was also the perfect vehicle for Graham, whose life experience had helped her turn Lorelai into a lovable -- and believable -- woman. "She's my mom, she's my dad -- I could draw on everyone I'd ever known," she says.
Gilmore Girls ran for seven seasons, with Graham in almost every scene, and it made her a household name. But it also required long workdays, five days a week. When the show ended (in 2007), Graham took a long break from TV, shooting small movies that didn't get noticed (Flash of Genius, The Answer Man) and starring in a Broadway revival of Guys and Dolls, which earned tepid reviews. "Acting is a weird career, where you're always hovering between confidence and panic," she says. "At the far end of the spectrum is 'I'll never work again. I'll have to start selling shoes.'"
But then along came Parenthood. In it Graham plays a very different mother from Lorelai. Sarah Braverman is the ex-wife of a rock musician and is raising two troubled teens. After the divorce she moves in with her parents. On the cusp of middle age, "she's not where she wanted to be," says Graham, who taps memories of her own early struggles, and her mother's, to help her flesh out the strong but sometimes flailing character. "It's more of an emotional story than Gilmore Girls."
On the set the atmosphere is anything but dark. Parenthood's an ensemble drama following the lives of Sarah, her three adult siblings, and their spouses and kids. "We improvise a lot to get that family texture, that feeling of people who know each other and talk over each other," she says. Graham is particularly chummy with Mae Whitman, who plays her daughter on the show. Whitman often drops by Graham's house, a 1920s Spanish Colonial in a hip Los Angeles neighborhood, which she furnished with antiques and quirky modern pieces. ("I like to furniture shop," says Graham. "It was a sad day when my house was pretty much done, because I needed a new project.") "We go to exercise classes together, though she's in much better shape than I am," says Whitman, who's 22 years younger. "She's got such a good head on her shoulders, and I can talk to her about anything, from career things to personal issues. It really is like mother and daughter."
Graham also spends time off-set with Peter Krause. "He's awesome," she says. Still, marriage and motherhood have never been a top priority for her. "It's this beautiful vision to think you're going to be married by 30 or to think you're going to have how many kids. I really didn't have that. Now, is that why I'm not married and don't have kids? I don't know. I just believe that the only thing you can do is be happy about your choices. Or change them."
Graham fills her days off by reading, hiking, and watching cooking shows. ("Any minute now," she promises, "it's going to manifest itself in some amazing cooking skills.") She throws an annual Christmas party where guests play games like charades, and she calls her father as often as she can. Though her mother died six years ago, at 61, Graham is close to her British-born half sister, Shade, who works at a talent agency in L.A. The pair have a girls' night out once a week, usually involving Mexican food.
Shade shows up toward the end of our interview, a tall blonde in a fitted blue suit. The two hug, then spend a few minutes trading news about their grandmother. It reminds me of something Graham said earlier when asked for her definition of "family." "It's people who you feel good around, who don't tell you what to do," she said. "It's a place where you can be vulnerable and feel comfortable and relax." She smiles. "I'm happy where I am."

The Huntington High dream team took West Virginia and points beyond by storm in the 2006-07 season.
Led by two McDonald's All-Americans, in OJ Mayo and Patrick Patterson, the Highlanders ran rough-shot over every opponent they played in the Mountain State, winning the state championship by 42 points.
For a brief time, they were ranked as the number one team in the nation, and lost just two games that year.
Patterson went on to a stellar career at the University of Kentucky, while Mayo played one year in college and went straight to the NBA. He was picked by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
"Now, I get the opportunity to play in the NBA and represent Huntington, West Virginia, on another national stage. I'm just so happy," said Mayo.
The dream team is regarded by many as the best high school basketball team ever in West Virginia.

Stroud rugby celebrate rich history with open day
11:39am Monday 24th February 2014 in Sport
STROUD RFC are holding the first in a series of open days this Saturday at Fromehall Park to mark the club's 140th anniversary.
There will be a variety of food and hot drinks available from 1pm and the chance to watch Stroud lock-horns with Whitehall in the SSE South West Division Gloucester Premier at 2.30pm.
Over the last 18 months the club has concentrated its focus on financial security and a new trustees and management team has been appointed.
Sponsorship director Steve Dechan said: "A lot of work and difficult decisions has ensured the club is financially sound but we have a long way to go to realise our potential.
"We want to continue to upgrade our facilities to become a brilliant rugby and community centre and more attractive to supporters.
"We want to see as many people from Stroud at the game on Saturday."
Stroud was established in 1873 and runs two senior teams, and nine mini/junior teams ages from six to 17 (around 180 children in total). The first team plays in SSE South West Division Gloucester Premier.
Pre the advent of leagues and professionalism sides such as Gloucester, Bristol, Bath, Leicester, Llanelli, Rosslyn Park, Wasps, Worcester and Exeter, all appeared on Stroud's list of opponents.
International caps have been won by a number of ex-Stroud players including John V. Smith, Charles Woodruffe, Tim Payne and Nick Abendenon.
In 2013 Stroud Rugby was one of only 10 tens clubs out of 160 to secure funding from the RFU and O2 to promote Touch Rugby.

Chef cycles for sustainable seafood
Top Vancouver chef Ned Bell left St. John's, Newfoundland, on July 1 to cycle across Canada to raise awareness about sustainable seafood.
The Healthy Plate: Recipe for tomato and avocado salad with gingered tomato vinaigretteAt the peak of ripeness, an in-season tomato is one of the things that makes life worth living. Happily, that season is upon us. And this recipe is my ode to that summer tomato.
Mom's arrest for leaving 9-year-old at park raises child care debatePlenty of working parents can relate to the dilemma Debra Harrell faced when her 9-year-old daughter asked to play unsupervised in a park this summer. How do you find the time and money for child care when school is out?
Hearty salads for lunch, dinner or accompanimentsThese salads are hearty enough to make a lovely summer lunch or dinner. And if you can't quite (yet) wrap your head around the notion of salad as a meal, then consider any of them as fine appetizers or accompaniments.
Recipes: Salads from CrudessenceThree recipes from Crudessence, Tender Greens, Green Fruits Salad and Green & Green, and a French Vinaigrette from David Lebovitz.
Best of food and drink this weekA round-up of some of our favourite recipes and food-related features this week including Portuguese recipes from new cookbook Pimentos and Piri Piri, three gorgeous meringue desserts, and an ingredient spotlight on cucumbers.

Cooking on Deadline: Recipe for spicy watermelon salad with feta and basilWatermelon is one of those foods you really don't need to overthink. Slice it. Eat it. Spit out the occasional seed. Done.
Tomatoes ready for their starring roleSummer is the season of tomatoes. Forget those bland, mealy versions we suffer with for the rest of the year. Warmed by the sun and ripened on the vine, the summer fruit is full of flavour, evocative of hot days, lazy evenings and time spent outdoors.

MARTHA ROSLER, Invasion, 2008, photomontage,
courtesy of the artist and
Whether working as a photographer, videographer, or writer, artist Martha Rosler has created startling and incisive commentaries on American culture for more than forty years. The roles of women, wars from Vietnam to Afghanistan, and the values of a consumer-driven society have provided rich grounds for exploration. Her performance in the 1975 video Semiotics of the Kitchen, in which she demonstrates the ABCs of domestic implements, is both hilariously deadpan and filled with rage. A pioneer in the use of found images, Rosler began her Bringing Home the War in the late 1960s after being struck by the juxtaposition of graphic photographs of war with ads for a new couch in a glossy magazine. She revived it during the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. "It wasn't about contrasting two realities, but two world views: our ideal self and this other thing which was the unacceptable realities of another place," she says.

It's not just back taxes that are the problem, it's also the penalties and interest that accrue. These become a serious problem for many people facing tax debts. Compounding over a period of time, these penalties and interest can create an extremely high tax debt - sometimes the penalties and interest alone, can exceed the original tax owed!
The problem for many people is that they wait too long or try to wish it away. It only gets worse. The best thing to do is to get an experienced tax attorney's assistance.
People may face paying IRS penalties and interest due to:
Most of these penalties and interest situations happen due to errors in filing returns and the failure to make the actual tax payments.
Potential consequences of not paying taxes, penalties, and interest include:
When requesting a penalty abatement, the taxpayer needs to be able to explain why the penalty should be removed. [NOTE: By federal law, interest is NOT abatable except in very rare circumstances. Our office can explain in more detail.]
If there were circumstances beyond your control that prevented you from paying your tax debt and led to delinquency, we are able to challenge the penalties that have built up. This is called Penalty Abatement. Penalty Abatements fall into four separate categories. They are:
Reasonable Cause - mistake made by the taxpayer, ignorance of law, death, serious illness, unavoidable absence, etc.
Correction of Service Error - math mistakes made by the IRS.
Administrative Waivers - undue hardship, fire, flood, natural disaster, etc.
Statutory Exceptions - simple or complex legislative tax code changes.
If an Offer in Compromise is not the best solution, then a Penalty Abatement may be an alternative for you to eliminate part or all of your tax debt depending upon your circumstances.
Tax attorney Sherri Carver has the knowledge and the experience necessary to assist you with your Penalties and Interest problems. Dealing with tax problems can be one of the most stressful times of anyone's life;
Don't handle it alone! You need a tax attorney who understands tax law and how to help you end your tax problems.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 12 biscuits
- 1 large or 2 small yams or sweet potatoes (1/2 cup baked and mashed)
- 2 cups flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup solid vegetable shortening
- 1/2 cup milk
Flour a marble pastry surface or board and turn the contents of the bowl out onto it. Knead lightly for about 30 to 45 seconds, just until a slightly moist, streaky looking dough is formed. Roll out gently to a thickness of 3/4 inch and cut out biscuits with a biscuit cutter. As the biscuits are cut, place them about 1-1/2 inches apart on an ungreased heavy baking sheet. Pat the leftover pieces of dough together gently with your hands and again roll out lightly, as indicated above. Cut the remaining biscuits from the patted-together dough. If necessary, pat any leftover dough together once again, then roll out and cut, until all the dough is used up.
Bake on the middle rack of a preheated 450-degree F. oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly browned on top and appear flaky. Set to cool for about 5 minutes on a cake rack. Serve warm, with butter.
My Notes:
I cooked the yam in the microwave. Prick the skin and cook on High 6 to 8 minutes for a large one. Let cool until just warm, then scoop out the flesh and mash. Make sure your baking powder is still good. I had to replace mine. I found that using a large dinner fork to stir in the milk at the end, rather than the mixer, helped prevent overmixing. I used a 2-1/2-inch biscuit cutter, and they were done at 14 minutes. Oven temperatures do vary, and the size of the biscuits will also make a difference, so keep your eye on them.

White pelicans are among the largest Mississippi Flyway migrants. At an average weight of 16 pounds (7 kilograms), they rely on a nine-foot (three-meter) wingspan to enable flight at very high altitudes. They use a unique fishing technique, cooperatively herding fish into small areas on the surface where the pickings are easy.

Understanding someone who speaks poorly in any language can be a challenge—particularly if you can only hear their voice. Real-time video and chat options may help to break the comprehension barriers to conversation temporarily, but what if those options aren't available? I spoke with a customer last week who started the conversation with "I just have a simple question . . ."
'Great', I thought. This will be painless'. The caller continued " Is [name of company] #( )*????!!!?" The caller wasn't using profanity. Whatever he was saying was, however, unintelligible. As I understood the question up to the last word, I just responded, "Excuse, me, but you are asking 'Is [name of company]. . . what?" The gentleman (and I am being polite here) repeated the entire question without changing the pronunciation of the final mystery word. Besides speaking as if he had a wad of glue in his mouth, he had already raised the volume of his voice a few decibels. The increase in volume didn't help. Trying not to offend or upset him further, I apologized, "Sir, I'm sorry, but there is some construction noise in our building, and I am having trouble understanding your question."
The caller again spoke even louder, without changing anything else in his speech. The speed, enunciation, diction and clarity of the words were the same. And because the question did not contain enough information to establish any contextual clues, I couldn't even quess at what the last word might be. So, instead of asking him to repeat himself yet again, I said, "Oh, let me connect you with someone who can answer that question . . .one moment." I didn't actually have to transfer him. He hung up, but not before calling me a "Stupid b ^*)h". His diction was perfect.
At the end of the day, I spent about two hours asking professionals on LinkedIn and other venues how they handled speaking with someone by phone if they couldn't understand what the other person was saying. A lot of the suggestions involved using email, which was not an option for me. Others suggested using the 'I'm sorry, we have a bad connection' excuse. Others had more cryptic answers that really were not helpful. One expert said 'Seek first to understand . . .then to be understood.' Yeah, well, thanks. I love Stephen Covey, too, but the question is 'how, exactly, should I be seeking to understand?'. Forgive me, I'm a little dense. Can you go over the process, step by step, please?
The answers kept flooding my inbox. If my caller had stayed on the line, perhaps I could have dredged up the last word to the surface. Or, perhaps, the flood would have just prolonged the frustration of misunderstanding. Certainly,it was not the first time I had felt trapped in a similar conversation. Years ago, I found myself in a remote corner of the rural south—the kind of place where you get that 'you're- not- from -around -here' stare when you ask for directions. To be fair, I've encountered the unintelligible right here on Long Island—even Manhattan, as well as Texas, Detroit, Las Vegas and Arizona. I wish I could stop there. Incomprehensible speech, whether it is due to mumbling, poor diction or enunciation, talking too fast, slurring words, running words together, mispronouncing words, a heavy accent, or a combination of these, is not limited to any region or group of people. It is EVERYWHERE. And I'm positive none of the unintelligible speech experiences I've reported here were the result of a speech disorder—because in every case, the speaker also used at
least one syllable of profanity that was clearly intelligible.
So, why don't people just speak clearly? Laziness, indifference, drugs, something else? I'm not suggesting any correlation between clarity of speech and clarity of thought, although many of our customers have specifically stated they " don't' read" when I've offered to send them more information about our company's services. Hmmm. But these people did have email. Perhaps our whole concept of literacy—even intelligence has changed to the point that clarity of speech is no longer considered important? Or. perhaps in our
hyper-digitized society, excess multitasking has created a society of manic mumblers. Perhaps we have become dependent upon technology to "communicate" for us. And clarity of speech is therefore becoming extinct. Perhaps the end of the world will simply be a return to the beginning---with monosyllabic ughs and grunts or some other paraverbage taking the place of the language we used to use. Who knows?
If you do, or have your own strategy for understanding people you can't understand, please share it! As for the customer who mistook me for a 'b^*)h', I later thought he might have asked,"Is [name of company] everywhere?" No, that couldn't be it. The word he used had just one syllable.

Jim Blasingame, Contributor
I cover small business and entrepreneurship.
Since Samuel Morse's first telegraph in 1844, communication technologies have sought relevance in an increasingly noisy universe. What hath God wrought, indeed.
Almost 170 years later, there is actual management pain from an embarrassment of riches of communication innovations. And this discomfort is especially keen when connecting with customers electronically: Should you call, email, text, or instant message? And when should you use social media?
But from telegraph to Twitter, one constant has retained its relevancy: in-person connection. What is face-to-face contact if not the original social media?
In businesses, social media euphoria must ultimately be tempered with ROI reality. And as useful as each new communication resource proves to be, they are, after all, merely tools to leverage physical efforts, not eliminate the basic human need for interacting in person. Consider this story:
A sales manager (whose gray hair was not premature) noticed the performance of one of his people was off for the third consecutive month. Up to now, he had allowed his better judgment to be swayed by plausible explanations. Now there was a downward trend.
Upon more pointed probing, the manager discovered the reason for loss of production was too much electronic contact and not enough in-person. The rookie was relying heavily on virtual tools and missing face-time opportunities with the customer.
It turns out lack of training and "rubber-meets-the-road" experience left him uncomfortable and unprepared to ask for and conduct meetings, like a proposal presentation. Consequently, he wasn't benefiting from how the success rate of growing customer relationships can increase when certain critical steps are conducted in person. This manager immediately established a training program that set standards for how and when to integrate all customer connection tools, including face-to-face.
If your company's sales performance isn't trending upward, perhaps your salespeople need help getting in front of customers, particularly at critical steps. Like the manager above, you may need to establish specific and measurable standards for when face-to-face meetings should take place.
From phone to Facebook, one connection option whose relevancy has borne witness to all of the others: in-person contact. Let's remember John Naisbitt's prophesy from Megatrends: "The more high tech we have, the more high touch we will want."
Write this on a rock … Face-to-face is the original social media.
Great points. Unfortunately, the ability to engage face to face is a dying art. Having been in Hospitality Management for over twenty years, only in the past few years have I actually had to motivate people to make eye contact.
Creating strong Brand awareness and cultivating customer advocacy are essential aspects of a strong SMM approach.
However, engaging customer care with sincerity is priceless.

Cheboygan Cottage Rentals(11)

Recent Cheboygan Reviews
This was our third year at this great cottage, and we can't wait to go again next year. It is located on a beautiful, clear lake. The swimming would be great for little ones as it is shallow and sandy all along the dock. We love it here because it is so close to many Rails to Trails bike paths and hiking paths for fun day trips. The cottage itself is located on the end of a quiet road and has a large yard for play. The location is great for us with our little dog as we never have to worry about him being unleashed. Inside you'll feel at home with a fully equipped kitchen, large living area, and great porch. Starting our mornings eating breakfast on the deck overlooking the lake is always something we look forward to. We also appreciate that it has a screened in area attached to the garage where we can put our bikes to keep them dry and clean. You'll find Nancy and Andy great to work with. They go the extra mile to make your stay worry free. It is 15 mins from Cheboygan (Walmart & Glenns for your grocery needs) and 30 from Mackinaw. There is so much to do and see in the area for day trips. We would highly recommend this cottage to couples wanting quiet time together or families for a great family vacation.
We stayed here for our honeymoon and had a great time! The cottage is beautiful, has just about everything you need....all you need is your towels & groceries and is very clean, maintained!! The surrounding area is very scenic...close to state parks, Macinaw City is close, saw salmon jumping out of the water at the dam. You can do as little as you like, or find plenty to do nearby. Donna is a great resource for what is in the area and has great recommendations. We are talking about going back next time with family. Very spacious for 2 people, plenty of room for a group of 6 -8. Hope to come back next time with a boat to explore more! Highly recommend a stay here!
This is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy nature. The water is warm and there are plenty of things to see and do in the area. The ammenities like the laundry room and dishwasher add to the relaxing atmosphere. I just returned from my second year in a row on "the bay" and am already looking forward to my third.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, who this week criticized community leaders for their lack of response to the recent uptick in gun violence, declined an invitation from Sen. Eric Adams to tour the gritty neighborhoods in his district without his gun or security detail, says the New York Post.
"I've been doing this for over 40 years — I've been around," Kelly told the paper after swearing in new police recruits at Queens College. "I've walked a lot of streets."
Adams show that he is out of touch, and that a trip to the inner city areas of Crown Heights, East Flatbush and Prospect Heights, which he represents, would do him some good, says the Post.
"Why wouldn't he walk the streets?" Adams asked the paper. "If it's not too good for patrol officers, why wouldn't it be good enough for him?"
"The political leadership, some of them are willing to attack the Police Department (for their stop-and-frisk policies) but not willing to take on the big issues, which is crime happening in their own neighborhood," Kelly shot back, according to the Post.

Last week we skipped our Friday Celebrity BlackBerry Sighting, so this week we've made up for it by running two. And this second BB sighting is pretty cool. It seems Mariah Carey isn't just rocking a BlackBerry Curve... she's kicked it up a notch and is sporting a ColorWare BlackBerry Curve.
In checking out ColorWare's website, it looks to be painted in the Concord purple color. Matches CrackBerry.com - VERY cool! Lots of celebs use BlackBerry smartphones, but it's not everyday we see a Celebrity BlackBerry user with a custom-painted ColorWare BlackBerry. Good Work Mariah. You're now a certified CrackBerry Junkie.
Question of the Week: What color would YOU custom paint your BlackBerry? Thanks to Michael for emailing this is in!

Bradford College students star in West Yorkshire Metro poster campaign
8:00am Monday 21st January 2013 in News
Four students at Bradford College have been chosen to star in a West Yorkshire Metro poster campaign promoting alternative methods of transport.
Tyrell Samuels, Makenzie Cairney, Joshua Spencer and Jasmine Faith Brown, who attend the college's Style Academy, feature along with workers from building company BAM Construction on the transport body's promotional material.
Their faces are also on safety hoardings around the £50 million construction work at the college's Great Horton Road campus.
Pam Sheldon, of the college, said: "We are delighted to be involved in this innovative use of the otherwise functional hoardings around the site and thrilled that Metro selected our students to star in the campaign."
Dorothy Sharp, Metro's Travel Plan Officer for Bradford, said: "Metro has been proud to work with the College and BAM to encourage their site visitors to walk, cycle, car share or catch the bus and train."
