Are you related to the Dobbs of Lucan because I am. My great great grandfather was Henry Dobbs and my great great grandmother Catherine (Carroll) Dobbs. That's why all the Carroll's are related. If you are related which family do you come out of. I am very much interested because I have been dying to meet some of my family members.

Quietest inline range hood - 600 CFM + for an induction stovetop
I've widdled down through my list of kitchen decisions and I keep avoiding what I find to be the most difficult one - the range hood! I have spent hours reading old posts, reviews on other sites, and calculating the CFMs I need, and I'm no closer to a decision. However the ducting is going in TOMORROW and I need to narrow down what I needed ASAP.
I have two main needs, something quiet, and something that works well. We have a 36" Bosch induction stovetop and often stirfry or pan fry fish and we want something that will work to wisk away the smell and grease.
Our kitchen is 14x19, and the venting will have two 90 degree turns and a total of about 24" of ducting till it gets out the roof.
What do you all recommend?
Oh, as for budget - I'm underbudget on the rest of my appliances by $3000 (some great sales) so I'm not really concerned with the cost of the range hood. If there is something great that meets my needs that is affordable that is fantastic, if I need to go with a wolf or some other high end option that is acceptable.
Tradewind is a wonderful option. I have used mine for stirfry and deep fry for 7 years ,Quiet and easy to clean . I have posted numerous pics and did so on another thread the other day. They have many options on their website. There are several GW folks that have them and love them. Mine looks like it is just out of the box after 7 years and so do my cabs. Make sure you get enough extra cfm to make up for the turns and also so that you have "more bang for your buck". You want to have more so you can run it on a lower setting. Hope that makes sense. I would be glad to answer more questions and post pics. c
Here is a link that might be useful: Tradewind liner
I really like my Kobe Chx series hood so far. Very quiet on low (something like 1.5 sones), which is great for light cooking, and over 600 CFM on high (I think the newest models top 700 IIRC) which is great for smoke. On high, before it was hooked to the vent, it could force my soft close doors away from the frame, even with no middle rail.
Congratulations on your savvy shopping! "works well" is a function of CFMs but also of capture area. Quiet is a function of baffle vs mesh, motor noise, motor placement, and duct size.
Are you going with chimney style, or will your cabinets be built/modified to hide the ducting? Do you have room for a wider than 36" hood (you get better capture).
If I could've used a chimney style, I think I would've gotten the zephyr savona. http://zephyronline.com/products/essentials_europa/savona_wall
If I didn't get a deal through my GC on Kobe, I would've probably gone with a Tradewind liner. I also considered Costco hoods, but there aren't many reviews on them.
Good luck! My vent shopping and final choice had a very low fun/expense ratio, I hope you do better!
I'm realizing I need more than 600... closer to or over 1000.
How does duct size effect noise?
We are going with a chimney style hood, and I just took a guess and told our contractor to put in a 10" duct, looks like it is required for most hoods with a higher CFM.
I'm going with chimney style, and I've been reading a lot about fantech inline fans with a silencer, but I'm wondering if then I have to pair it with a modernaire hood?
No you can see everything you need on the Tradewind web site. They have detailed pics with each piece labeled and the use of said piece defined. I learned everything I needed to know about hoods on their site. I have the inline silencer and also the neoprene pieces at joints. This greatly reduces noise . 10" is what you need for duct. The actual air is what makes noise so you reduce that as much as possible which is why you want baffles and large duct, Also it is why you want "more" rather than less cfm so you can run it on less and get more :)
I have a 54" 1400 cfm mounted 33" over our 36" gas Caldera and Miele deep fat fryer. Their total space is 54" too. Due to the size of the hood and the cfm I didn't need to go any extra inches. The capture is perfect as it is. You don't have to go wider than your 36"either if you don't want to ...mount it at the proper height and get a good hood and you are set. Remember to turn it on 5-10 min before you start to cook to get the air flowing and then leave it on for that same time at the end to get it all out.
Here is the other thread with my pics and a link to the other discussion with more pics. c
Here is a link that might be useful: Tradewind hood pics
The tradewind folks (and their GW fans including trailrunner) are great. But I haven't seen where they make a chimney style hood.
I'm not sure you (or I) actually need more than 600 cfm - people with hoods capable of 1000+ cfm never use the highest speed. And inspectors are starting to enforce make-up air provisions, so you want to read up on that and whether it affects you. Consider how big your kitchen is, do you really need to expel all the air in a 10 x 10 area in one minute? How much fish do you fry at one time, in how wide a pan? As trailrunner said, an important thing is to start the fan before you start to cook in order to set up the air pattern.
Kobe has very quiet chimney style hoods with low sones for all speeds. http://www.koberangehoods.com/product/wall_mount.html
I realized I need more CFM due to the run of ducting - 4' up to the ceiling, 90 degree turn, 7' straight, 90 degree turn and then approx. 14' straight up through the roof.
From what I can gather all Kobe hoods have internal blowers, and we really want an inline...So while they are quiet, I think it is possible to get one even quieter with a silencer and inline.
At the beginning of my planning, I was sure I wanted a remote blower. But several people I talked with said technology has improved so much that it really isn't much of an advantage, and there are some disadvantages in terms of cost and accessibility (and future repair and replacement). Of course your situation may be different, please post about your decision and results. That sounds like a long duct run, it might be an important factor.
You need a 10in duct for the bigger CFM hoods. We have some hearing issues in the family and having a quiet hood was important. We did a remote roof mounted Abakka with a muffler/quiet kit to make it even quieter. If you separte the hood (the smoke capture device with baffles light etc., from the actual motor, some additional choices open up.
updated to say that our hood is 1600CFM over a gagg 36in induction and a gas wok unit (22000 btus)

I have 10" duct, so we are all set on that front.
GWlolo - what hood do you have that paired with? I like the idea of the Abakka or the fantech inline, but I don't want to pay the premium for a moderaire hood.
What other hoods could I pair either of those blowers with?
Best by Broan has a few hoods that work with remote blowers. There's at least one chimney-style one that I was considering before I decided to splurge on ModernAire.
I ended up with an Abbaka 1400cfm roof-mounted blower. The hood hasn't arrived yet -- and the electricity isn't hooked up anyway -- so I can't tell you how quiet or loud it is. But it seems very well built, so I'm optimistic. 1400cfm will be serious overkill for my 36" induction except for when I'm wok'ing, so I should be able to run the blower at a very low (and quiet) speed most of the time.
For anyone considering ModernAire: they have long lead times. Almost two months. I waited too long to order mine, and now my contractor is having to do some work-arounds to make things safe -- no wires hanging out of the wall -- so we can get permission to hook up the electricity to the house. I should have ordered about a month earlier, but some medical issues intervened. And I was having trouble deciding on the color. I ended up with "sapphire blue", which should coordinate well with my countertops and pendant lights. I hope :-)

All Lapid has done in his first MONTHS, election was less than a year ago and pretty much all he has done is alot of haredi bashing, spending more time on Facebook than in the Knesset ( he has been criticised because he makes alot of his big announcements ion Facebook rather than in the Knesset where he can be heckled ) and made a botch job of his first budget. I would hardly call that such an amazing record that he warrants being nominated man of the year. Your average taxi driver is more worthy of the man of the year award than Yair Lapid unless the author didn't mean man of the year he meant looser of the year.

What once was a dump, is now a decent place! Couldn't believe how the changes at the hotel became to this point; and it has changed bit different and much better than what it was before! Would highly recommend for several days or a short stay, when we arrived front desk was very helpful.. did i mention the price! You really can't beat the price per night for what should be more or less around over the eighty range and it is bit spanish look. beds are nog and comfy. The breakfast is ok/good they have variety cereals juices etc...but if you wish to have a full breakfast than I would advise you to go to a cafe in Hayward or somewhere in the Vicinity. Once place I ate was at the JD Breakfast and Sharis. The City of Hayward look much better than before and I am proud to stay in Hayward once again. I think I found a new place to stay when time approached. Another tip I like to add is the construction work that is happening on the road is very nice and lovely.

You`re anxious to seize the moment. You can plan your every move another day, but right now, you`re into doing things in a much more spontaneous, lively way. Take a road you`ve never been down before or talk to someone you`ve only seen in passing. Great things can come from chance meetings, so it would be a shame to pass by any kind of opportunity to interact with someone new. Children can help you bring back your youthful, creative spirit, but you have to be willing to really throw caution to the wind -- and not care too much what other people think -- if you want to feel like a child again.
If you can`t be friends with the people you`re spending most of your time with, you at least make an attempt to be a little more tolerant. The quirky little things that other people do irritate you to no end right now, but if you`re going to complain about everybody`s idiosyncrasies, you`re in for a very long day. Learn to pick your battles as well as when to let others things pass. Crowded spaces make you much more irritable than usual, so try to avoid public transportation, cramped offices and crowded parties if at all possible.
You have strong opinions on various topics at hand, but you don`t take yourself seriously enough to get into any real arguments. Right now, you like chatting with a lot of different types of people and are hearing all kinds of ideas about a wide variety of things. If all talk and no action is beginning to bother you, this is also a good time to think about turning some of your ideas into a reality. If you don`t know where to start, ask a close friend or professional acquaintance for their advice. Move now, before someone else beats you to the punch!
The Crab is in the mood to do some outrageous spending, and there really isn`t anything holding you back. You`ve shopped around for bargains enough in your lifetime, and this is the time to buy something that you really want without worrying about how much it costs. Try not to think of your purchase as indulgent or frivolous, Cancer. You`ve worked hard to earn the money you presently have, so why not spend it on yourself? If a close friend or family member is telling you not to splurge, it might be due to ulterior motives -- is it because they want the same item you have your eye on, only they don`t have the cash to buy?!
Leo radiates warmth and enthusiasm. You put smiles on the faces of people you`ve known for years as well as those who you`re just meeting for the first time, and your outgoing personality can`t help but be contagious. You know that the secret to being happy is to give what you want to receive, and you aren`t afraid to put this wonderful theory into practice. The more positive things you do for others, the more you get in return. Or, as the Beatles sang, `The love you take is equal to the love you make.` Not that you`re doing any of this for the attention it brings you, of course, but you`re never one to shy away from a few well-deserved rounds of applause!
You`re sick and tired of everyone telling you what to do, but there`s no escape from overbearing people who say they have your best interests at heart. If you can manage to take the day off from work or separate yourself from your family just this once, being along is a great way for you to unwind. If there`s absolutely no way for you to get any alone time, make the best of the situation. If a friend or relative insists on butting into your personal business, nod and mutter the occasional `uh-huh,` but feel free to let your mind wander to a more pleasant place -- preferably one where you can get a little peace and quiet.
Your leadership skills are in top form, making you a natural in situations that call for you to take the initiative. It might be hard for your friends or coworkers to get used to you being in a dominant role, but it shouldn`t take long for them to realize that you are a fair and proactive leader. When it comes to solving problems, don`t be afraid to get creative. Following the letter of the law may have its advantages, but the more eager you are to think outside the box, the sooner you`ll be able to come up with solutions that work for everyone involved.
Most of your attention is focused on your professional life right now. You may be having problems with your boss, a coworker or a client, but whatever the matter is, it won`t be solved in a facile manner. Your career can be quite stressful right now, but that doesn`t mean that there isn`t a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep your head down and don`t cause too much of a scene. Work quietly on a solution without making your grievances public or asking too many questions. When your reputation is on the line, you`ll do just about whatever it takes to restore or maintain your good name, but your efforts rarely include divulging your secrets.
In a world where there is a lot of injustice and silent toleration of it, your honesty is quite refreshing. The Archer makes sure that everyone is treated as equals, and you don`t have anything unpleasant to say about any of your fellow human beings. You get a big dose of optimism from the Stars, which helps you look at the world in a completely positive light. Try to share some of your enthusiasm with your friends, relatives and neighbors, Sagittarius. One good deed can totally change someone else`s outlook, and it makes you feel good to be able to help other people feel as good as you do.
Don`t expect everything to go exactly as you hoped it would, Capricorn. You may encounter some difficulties that you couldn`t have predicted, but that doesn`t mean that you won`t be able to overcome the obstacles that you find in your way. Be careful when sharing resources, especially where your personal life or career are concerned. Everyone has their own agenda right now, and you can`t be sure that what you say in confidence will remain that way. Take care of your problems by yourself, and on your own time, as much as possible.
If you`re wondering what`s stopping you from trying something new, the answer is: Nothing. In fact, this is a great day to experiment with the unknown, Aquarius. Act on impulse and don`t let anyone discourage you from following your heart. Other people may have their own ideas about what you should be doing, but you aren`t under any obligation to listen to their advice. If something is urging you to go one way, there`s no sense in going the other. If you want to experience something really great, give up your inhibitions and just say yes to whatever life has to offer.
Spreading gossip is tempting, but you`re much better off minding your own business. Before you open up your mouth to talk about what your neighbor or friend has been up to, consider how you`d feel if you found out they had been talking about you behind your back. Stating the facts is one thing, but there really is no excuse for repeating blatant lies or questionable rumors. If you live or work in close quarters, you might get the chance to listen in on a private conversation, but it`s in your best interest to distract yourself rather than eavesdrop.

Mobilicity seeks protection as Ottawa considers new offer
Wireless carrier Mobilicity wins creditor protection as Industry Canada considers a new buyout proposal
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Small wireless carrier Mobilicity filed for formal creditor protection on Monday, saying the move will hopefully help the company seal the deal on a buyout offer.
The company announced it received protection from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act, which Mobilicity said will give it time to organize its affairs.
It added that Industry Canada is currently reviewing a new buyout proposal, but refused to disclose any details.
The proposal was submitted to Industry Canada "just recently," said Mobilicity's president and chief operating officer Stewart Lyons in an interview.
"The outside date is several weeks, but it may take shorter than that. We're hoping it happens in a fairly short order," he said, considering the company's pressing circumstances. "Obviously, we're encouraging the government to do something sooner rather than later."
Mobilicity's chief restructuring officer Bill Aziz by seeking creditor protection, the company now has time and room to reorganize.
"In our case, we told the court we have a proposed transaction. We can't identify who that's with and any of the details around it at this time, because it's subject to regulatory approval," Aziz said.
"An order under CCAA is considered a tool that puts in place a stay against claims that are made against the company," Aziz said. That means people who have claims can't enforce them and lawsuits are put on hold for while.
Vaughan-based Mobilicity is a privately held company that doesn't disclose its subscriber base. Some press reports have suggests it only has about 250,000 subscribers – who do not sign long-term contracts.
Earlier this year, Telus had put forward a $380 million deal to buy Mobilicity, but Telus wanted the federal government to make an exception to rules around ownership of wireless spectrum – given new entrants had special chunks reserved for them, as part of a drive to boost competition.
But Ottawa balked at the idea, and Telus withdrew its offer. In July, Mobilicity said it was in talks with "multiple partners" about a buyout.
Mobilicity said the latest development won't affect any of its wireless customers and there are no changes to the network, adding its stores will remain open.
Tech analyst Carmi Levy said Mobilicity's move is no surprise.
"I think we saw this coming a mile away. It's been fairly clear for months … Mobilicity has had the most difficulty gaining subscriber transaction," said Levy. "It's a perfect example why Industry Canada's drive to increase competition in its current form is woefully inadequate.
"They are making it easy for companies like Mobilicity to enter the market, but they don't make it easy for them to survive long enough," Levy said, referring to how Canadians are still sticking with the big wireless players.
"Canadian consumers will not leave the safe confines of a known carrier, no matter how much they complain about it, because the new carriers don't offer enough of compelling difference in service or price," he said.
Levy believes this is only the first shoe to drop in the wireless industry, noting other small carriers like Wind and Public Mobile also remain on shaky ground.
While the other two carriers have managed to strengthen their financing and support, Levy said if companies don't grow their subscriber base, and start taking significant share from incumbents, investors won't keep funding the carriers.

I haven't found all the caches in PV, but I my favorite so far is called Love Songs and is on Coal Mine Ridge. When you find it you add your favorite Love Song to the log and you find yourself in a lovely meadow. How cool is that?

Long Island Mike's Pizza
- 5250 Murphy Canyon Road, San Diego, CA 92123 | Directions
- 858-569-7499 | Website
It doesn't get any better than a big slice of real New York–style pie, and Long Island Mike serves up just that. The crust is soft and chewy but holds up beneath creative toppings such as eggplant parmigiana and buffalo chicken (white strips of chicken, generous drizzles of ranch dressing, and buffalo sauce). I usually get a slice of the Sicilian pepperoni (a square deep-dish pizza slathered with oregano-flavored tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni) and a slice of BBQ chicken (thin crust, mozzarella, chicken, drizzles of sweet and savory barbecue sauce, and bits of bacon hidden in the cheese). The combo of two slices of any kind, with any toppings, and a drink costs a palatable six bucks.

Chemical Weapons Watchdog Wins Nobel Peace Prize as U.S. Opposes Calls for WMD-Free Middle East
As the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons wins the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize, we look at international efforts to rid Syria and other countries — including the United States — of chemical weapons. While Syria recently pledged to sign the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention, four other countries have not: Egypt, North Korea, Angola and South Sudan. Israel and Burma have signed the treaty, but not ratified it. Both Egypt and Syria say they maintained chemical weapon arsenals to counter Israel's secret nuclear weapons program. Meanwhile, the United States and Russia, both signatories of the treaty, missed a 2012 deadline to destroy their remaining chemical weapons arsenals — which is some 95 percent of the global stockpile. We speak to 2013 Right Livelihood Award winner Paul Walker of Green Cross International and Stephen Zunes, professor of politics and international studies at the University of San Francisco, where he chairs the program in Middle East studies.
Worse Than Nixon? Committee to Protect Journalists Warns About Obama Crackdown on Press Freedom
In its first report on press freedom in the United States, the Committee to Protect Journalists warns President Obama has ushered in a paralyzing climate of fear for both reporters and their government sources. Among the cases it details: Six government employees — plus two contractors, including Edward Snowden — have faced felony criminal prosecutions since 2009 under the 1917 Espionage Act for leaking classified information to the press, compared with just three such prosecutions in all previous U.S. administrations. The Department of Justice has also secretly subpoenaed and seized Associated Press reporters' phone logs and emails, and New York Times reporter James Risen was ordered to testify against a former CIA officer who provided leaked information to him, or go to jail. We speak to the report's author, Leonard Downie Jr., former executive editor of The Washington Post. He spoke with dozens of journalists who told him officials are "reluctant to discuss even unclassified information … because they fear that leak investigations and government surveillance make it more difficult for reporters to protect them as sources."
"500 People Will Control American Democracy" If Supreme Court Overturns Campaign Finance Law
The U.S. Supreme Court appears poised to strike down most of the remaining limits on massive spending by wealthy donors on political campaigns. On Tuesday, justices heard arguments in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, which has been referred to as "the next Citizens United." Republican leaders and wealthy GOP donor Shaun McCutcheon wants the Supreme Court to throw out aggregate limits on individual contributions in a single two-year cycle, saying they violate free speech. "If these advocate limitations go down, 500 people will control American democracy. It would be 'government for the 500 people,' not for anybody else — and that's the risk," says Burt Neuborne, law professor and founding legal director of the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School. On Tuesday, Chief Justice John Roberts indicated he is prepared to strike down caps on donations to individual candidates, but perhaps not on donations to political committees. Justice Antonin Scalia appears to be set to back the lifting of all limits. "The Scalia side says, 'Look, if you're rich, you're entitled to have as much influence as you can buy,'" Neuborne says. "And the Scalia side has won 5-to-4 consistently in recent years."

La Vendetta… (Sicilian for "Revenge is a dish best served cold"), features 16 tracks of the aggressive hardcore punk the band pioneered. Socially conscious lyrics take on police brutality, social injustice and nuclear meltdown. The cover art, by Madrid-based artist Mario Rivière, follows the theme with its depiction of a homeless man beating a pig-faced cop piñata, certainly evocative of the tragic beating death of Kelly Thomas by Fullerton police in 2011. Nope, the Adolescents have not mellowed with age!

NEW YORK - J.C. Penney is hoping that some supermodel magic will win over shoppers in the lingerie department.
The beleaguered department store chain is launching an exclusive lingerie collection in the U.S. with a partnership with Elle Macpherson, who along with Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and others defined a new generation of supermodels in the 1980s.
The collection will be in 300 of Penney's 1,100 stores starting April 11. Penney says it will wait to see how the brand fares before deciding whether to roll it out to its other stores.
The collection, called The Body by Elle Macpherson, which refers to her nickname, offers bras and panties in mostly cotton. Its emphasis is on the smoothest, most precise fit that can be worn every day.
The collection builds on Macpherson's lingerie business that she founded in 1990 with the launch of an collection of lacy and silk lingerie that's sold at upscale stores here and abroad including Bloomingdale's and Harrod's.
The Body Bras top out at around $50, while bras in the Elle Macpherson Intimates Collection can go as high as $150. The bras have four distinct silhouettes designed to suit varying needs and body shapes: the push up, a sporty demi-cut version, an unlined alternative, and a subtle lift.
"I created this for myself, because I thought there was a gap," Macpherson told The Associated Press. "I really wanted to address this idea of shape."
Macpherson, who is creative director for a series of fashion business ventures, said Penney offers the opportunity to design for a wider audience.
The collection comes as Penney is trying to recover from a botched transformation spearheaded by its former CEO Ron Johnson, who was fired in April 2013 after 17 months on the job. That month, Mike Ullman, Johnson's predecessor, returned to the helm and has restored frequent sales events and basic merchandise to help reverse plunging sales and massive losses.
A key focus: revitalizing its lingerie business. The partnership with Macpherson was forged under Johnson's regime. But under the former Apple executive, Penney got rid of bra specialists and its store brand Ambrielle, a conservative line of lingerie. In February, Penney brought back the specialists and Ambrielle.
Also, more than 600 Penney stores will see their lingerie areas refreshed with new graphics and special fixtures.
Penney executives said Victoria's Secret benefited the most from Penney's woes when it came to lingerie sales.
"By offering the best brands, a greater level of service and an inspiring environment, J.C. Penney is making the necessary improvements to reclaim its market share," said Ivy Spargo, a senior vice president for Penney.
Macpherson's collection will be at the high end of Penney's offerings. Bras are priced anywhere from $40 to $49, while panties will be priced at $12 to $14.
Spargo says Penney shoppers will be able to relate to Macpherson outside of being a celebrity.
"She's a working mom. She's a business owner," she said.
Macpherson, who is based in London but travels around the world, says she's "passionate" about lingerie. It began in 1990 with her partnership with Bendon Limited Apparel, the same manufacturer that is producing the line for Penney. It marked one of the first examples of a model becoming a fashion brand.
Macpherson said she created her original collection back then because she saw a void between European-style lingerie and the comfort that American brands offered.
"As a model, I was constantly getting undressed," Macpherson added. "I wanted to make sure I looked good."

cedar window sill
I need advice on how to refinish/protect a cedar window sill. The wood is about three inches above my kitchen countertop in an area that includes the sink so the wood sometimes gets splashed with water and splattered during food prep.
At first I thought it was stained pine or redwood, but after sanding off the damage, it looks like cedar with a really fine grain. I'm thinking that what I thought was a dark stain may have just been natural darkening. They seem to have had some kind of protective coating on it, most of which had worn off.
What kind of finish will stick to cedar and stand up to periodic cleaning? I would also like to darken the wood to coordinate better with the redwood window trip that has a dark, reddish colored finish.
I think the ability of wood to withstand water is often underrated.
When we were young and stupid, we finished two fir wood sills beside our bathtub with diluted paint. I wanted them blue with the grain showing, and in those days you either couldn't get blue stain or I couldn't find it, and there were certainly no forums to ask. Similarly, our kitchen cabinets are green diluted paint over pine. I'm sure the green paint was oil-based and thinned with thinner, but I believe in the bathroom we used latex paint thinned with water.
Sixteen years later, I am pretty astonished at how good this wood looks. The kitchen has some grease spots, but in the bathroom, where the wood gets only soap and water contact (but gets wet every day), the sills look like new when I wipe them.
I think both our finishes are about equivalent to a penetrating stain; the paint has no integrity as a coating. The fact that your coating wore off also suggests that a penetrating stain might be your best approach. Or who knows, maybe the diluted paint was a good idea for some reason, but you can probably get the colour you want in a stain.
I don't know a durn thing about staining cedar, but surely there would be some information on the 'net if it has some special needs in regards to a finish sticking; I'm guessing an oil-based stain might be preferable but don't really know.

Dick managed and operated two pharmacies - family-owned McCrary's and an Osco Pharmacy in Phoenix, AZ for more than 30 years. Dick retired in the late 1980s and became a local retail entrepreneur. During his many years in Arizona, he was an avid desert game hunter and enjoyed recreational vehicle adventuring. He returned to Gallatin to live after the death of his mother.

Winter's first blast
Meteorologists say it's hard to tell if the upper Midwest will experience a mild or extremely cold winter, with little or a lot of snow.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's annual Winter Outlook helps predict average temperatures and snow fall.
This year most of the country is experiencing what's called an "equal chance," meaning there's no strong scientific data that can help predict if temperatures and snowfall will be above or below normal, or average.

Mayor Signs Agreement for Transitional City Hall Location
With the redevelopment of the City Hall site in full swing, plans are underway for a temporary location. Today, the City signed a deal to sublet space on Pleasant Street in the former Sparks building. The site is also set to be the location of one of Malden's newest and most exciting businesses, Boda Borg, an indoor adventure company.
With Boda Borg planning a phased implementation of their room-based indoor adventure questing game, they will have extra space for their first year of business and City will use that space in a unique and groundbreaking way.
Get ready for "Choose Your Own Adventure" city government style. The City will construct several offices in the spirit of the Boda Borg adventure game including the Code Room which will be managed by the Permits, Inspections and Planning Department. The room will feature cut-out style construction and fixtures allowing contractors to see live examples of the most current building, electrical and plumbing codes.
The Happily Ever After room will serve as a location for our City Clerk to perform marriages and The Watering Hole room will be run by our DPW and will include a unique test of skill and strength as you are forced to find and fix the water leak before the room becomes flooded. "I am most excited about the Snow Room" said Mayor Christenson referring to a mini-quest where residents are given nothing more than a shovel and have to figure out the most efficient path out of the room.
Residents visiting City Hall will enjoy a variety of quests as they move to each City Department.Read More

The task of the Abandoned Autos section is to respond to reports of vehicles being illegally stored on the public streets. When a vehicle is found in violation, a tow warning notice is placed on it, so that the vehicle owner has the opportunity to correct the violation. Our goal is to achieve voluntary compliance, but vehicles remaining in violation after being warned can be towed and impounded by City order.
Violations can be reported by giving us the location of the vehicle, its make, color and style, and the license number if any.
Abandoned Auto 24-hour reporting line

Hours: 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday

An abandoned vehicle is defined by City Code (section 16.90.005 ) as one that is:
and in addition, either:
It is unlawful to park an abandoned vehicle in the public right-of-way, public park, or city-owned or operated property, according to section 16.20.120 of the City Code.
We also put tow warnings on trucks, buses, trailers and RVs, which are prohibited from parking on the street except for the purpose of loading or unloading for a limited time (16.20.120).
Due to the high volume of reports, our goal is to look at a vehicle within a week of receiving a report, depending on workload.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
'Shopping IS the holiday': On Black Friday, many feel powerless to resist tradition, emotion
BEAVER FALLS, Pa. - Gravy was still warm. Dallas Cowboys were still in uniform. Thanks were still being given across the country as the pilgrimages to the stores began, heralding a new era of American consumerism.
Lured by earlier-than-ever Black Friday sales, people left Grandma and Grandpa in search of Samsung and Toshiba. They did not go blindly: In dozens of interviews, people acknowledged how spending has become inseparable from the holidays. Older folks pined for the days of Erector Sets and Thumbelinas while in line to pay iPad prices. Even some younger shoppers said it felt wrong to be spending money instead of quality time on Thanksgiving.
"But we're still out here," said Kelly Jackson, a paralegal who was standing inside a Best Buy store in the Pittsburgh suburbs, a 32-inch television ($189) in her cart. It was a consolation prize: Despite four hours on line, she missed the cheaper 40-inchers ($179) that she had heard about while listening to Internet radio.
Jackson's resignation was common among those who flocked to capitalism's temples for the consumer equivalent of genuflecting. Many said that this Black Friday bled into Thursday crossed a line, that merchants should not intrude like this. Christmas is about the message of Jesus, the feeling went — not about the gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Yet amid these protests, people still talked about feeling powerless beneath the moment — as if they had no choice but to shop.
"You have to have these things to enjoy your children and your family," said Jackson's friend Ebony Jones, who had secured two laptops ($187.99 each) for her 7 and 11 year olds.
Why must we buy? To demonstrate our love for others? To add a few more inches to our televisions? To help America recover from a vicious recession that itself was born of the desire for more?
Such questions make Jones wince. "It shouldn't be that way, but in a sense there's no way around it," said Jones, a nurse. "Everything ends up with a dollar amount. Even your happiness."
Retailers have long capitalized on the holiday season's perfect storm of emotion and tradition. "We all want to be loved, we all like to give love," says Roger Beahme, director of the Center for Retail Innovation at the Wake Forest Schools of Business. Through a flood of advertising on TV, radio and newspapers, he says, retailers can create emotions.
"Will Rogers said it's the art of convincing people to spend money they don't have on something they don't need," Beahme says. Although advertising can serve useful purposes, he says, "there's some truth to that."
Many embrace the feeling — and have, in accelerating ways, for a generation and more. Without legions of believers, Black Friday never would have gotten this bold. Despite a surge of resistance as the sales drew near, with scolding editorials and protests by retail employees and reminders of frantic tramplings past, Black Friday's grip on America may have been proven stronger than ever this year.
"It's all part of the holiday — part of the tradition," said Dennis River, a truck driver who was in line for a television at the Walmart in Beaver Falls, a small community outside of Pittsburgh. Last year, he went out alone at midnight Thursday. This year, he brought his wife and daughter. They were in place by 7 p.m.
"You get up in the morning, cook, do your dinner and your football, then you go shopping," River said. "It's the new thing now. Everyone's afraid of change."
"If they wanna have sales today," he said, "I'm gonna go shopping today."
Walmart's cavernous store is always open, but the deals began at 8 p.m. As with most big retail stores, a police car was parked near the Beaver Falls store entrance. A uniformed officer was at the door, near a stand holding maps to "featured products" such as bikes, cookware, sheets, video game consoles, and eight different TVs.
The witching hour approached. Yellow CAUTION tape cordoned off the bargains and funneled a few thousand supplicants through aisles of ignored items — yarn, shower curtains, party hats, clocks. Balloons printed with dollar signs followed by low numbers floated above the treasures.
As the cellphones struck eight, a din arose. Excited voices mixed with the sound of boxes dropping into metal shopping carts. The balloons danced as people dug into stacks of leather ottomans ($29) and 5-by-5 foot bins of $5 DVDs.
The temperature climbed. An old man inched through the throng using a folding chair ($11.88) as a crutch. Traffic jammed. Complaints and a few curses echoed.
"I'm not an angry person, but I was angry for the 20 minutes I was in there," Danyel Coyne, a college student, said as she loaded a child booster seat ($12.98) into her trunk.
She and her boyfriend, Mike Yanke, had not come to shop. They needed a spare car seat to take Yanke's daughter back to Pittsburgh. Yet Yanke still had bought a red, battery-powered convertible ($129) at his dad's request.
"I wouldn't say Black Friday has taken over," said Dave Davies, a music producer who was part of the national parade of TVs (his was 50 inches and $399). "Shopping IS the holiday. That's all people care about — what are you gonna get?"
For some, the items themselves can even take a back seat to the simple act of shopping.
Childhood friends Jesse Bredholt, Ryan Seech and a few other buddies have camped out at Best Buy for four years straight. This year, they arrived a full week early, with a tent, sleeping bags, deodorizing mist sprayer, propane heater and battery power for their gadgets.
They had no idea what they would buy. That was not the point.
For this group of single men in their early 20s, part of a generation who mark the passage of time by their first cellphones and video games, the point is spending time with each other at the source of the products that have always defined their lives.
"Our family is here," said Bredholt, who works for a health-care company. "With five guys on one mattress, you gotta be family."
Karen Jefferson, 49, also has found family on line at Best Buy, beyond her husband and three children. She was there Wednesday, seated on a folding chair, clutching a rolled-up circular.
"I'm missing Thanksgiving, and my husband thinks I'm crazy," said Jefferson, who works at a mortgage insurance company. "But I do this every year . because I enjoy meeting people and the people that come when I do. I mean, you see the same people year after year. And I do get some very good deals."
What about studies that have shown better deals are available at other times of the year?
"Oh, really?" Jefferson said. "You just think, Black Friday! Oh, my gosh, that's the deal of the year."
"Maybe that's something I need to look into," she continued. "Because, I mean, if these aren't good deals, then what are we DOING then?"

The shipping industry is working hard to reduce its carbon footprint. Last week, we reported that the world's largest shipping company, Maersk, bought 10 of the most eco-friendly cargo ships, and Japanese company Eco Marine developed rigid solar sails that can power ships by harnessing the wind. Now, Cargill shipping joins the green ranks with their announcement of a partnership with Hamburg-based SkySails, a company that creates 320 square meter kites that propel ships. Cargill will use a SkySail on its handysize vessel, which weighs between 25,000 and 30,000 tons. It will be the largest ship ever to be propelled by a kite.
SkySails fly 100 to 400 meters above a ship, to which they are attached by rope. An automated control system adjusts the kite's flight path, and a monitor on the SkySails' workstation displays information related to a ship's operation. The kites can cut a ship's fuel consumption by 35 percent.
Cargill and SkySails are currently working together to develop and test the technology that will be used on the handysize ship. They have identified a ship owner who will use the kite, and they hope to have the system fully operational by the first quarter of 2012. Cargill does not own any ships itself, but its transportation business moves more than 185 million tons of goods each year.
"For some time, we have been searching for a project that can help drive environmental best practice within the shipping industry and see this as a meaningful first step", said G.J. van den Akker, head of Cargill's ocean transportation business, in a press release. In December, Cargill joined Forum for the Future's Sustainable Shipping Initiative.
