The Natalie Johnson Lee/Don Samuels race for city council
Post: #1
The Natalie Johnson Lee/Don Samuels race for city council
I wanted to revisit the whole 5th Ward race last year for myself mostly. I wanted to get my own thoughts straight. But I figured others may also have thoughts that might be important to share so that we can try and reach some closing and clarity on what went right, wrong, and what didn't happen at all and needs to happen still. The whole thing turned into a huge soapopera and ultimately left normal folks outcast from the issues and the process of selecting someone based on how they run on the issues. Specific proposals were never really marketed to us. We never really heard what one person wanted to do that was so much better than the other person, it could have been a great opportunity to expand a "marketplace of ideas" so to speak and get us thinking, but instead it turned into another long drawn-out shouting and screaming and venting process.
I've included an excellent City Pages article that I found very informative and balanced. Read that HERE
Also The Minneapolis Observer had a sort blog about it that attracted some interesting dialogue HERE
Also MNspeak has some conversation on it as well HERE
Post: #2
It seems to me that Nathalie should probably had come out and said that she didnt support the comments from Flowers and Lee on at least on their tactic and misplacement in the electoral race more cause they were just distracting from the issues, even if she didn't want to disown the merit, or even if the merit could not be proven.
She should probably have been aware of and told her husband to chill with the sly actions of purchasing http://www.donsamuels.com and redirecting it to the trendsetter website, if that rumor is indeed true. It seems to be tho, I saw the "WhoIS" listing and it had his name for a brief time as the owner of that domain.
And this quote was interesting:
Quote:What we need to remember is how/why Don Samuels even made mention of the 'porn magazine'. And also, that it came straight from his mouth, not anyone elses. In the debate which is accessible on the KFAI program archives under Conversations with Al McFarlane, Don was rebutting Natalie's so-called accomplishments and telling her that she is taking credit in her campaign lit for projects that she actually opposed 4 years ago (Block E specifically). He asked her when did she change her mind? Was it when they (major tenant's of Block E) started buying full page ads in her husbands porn magazine. He also referred to it again later in the debate, when Natalie talked about bringing jobs, Don said he would bring jobs, and not the degrading stripper jobs that are advertised in her husbands "porn magazine." Now about the City Pages, if Don's opponents family published it, and used it to push their political agenda, he might take issue with it, pointing out the quality of character that is exposed around these subjects.

Sandstone... Mmm. This Sandstone is REALLY loose, and hanging on some of the pockets makes you wonder how many more hangs the holds can withstand. The bolts in the area seemed ok a year ago... but with sandstone that can change far too quickly.
The Teeth is an out of the way destination for most people, but has a few top rope problems worth checking out and one of the only clean splitter hand cracks in the Bay Area. You are sure to find solitude and shade in the summer. The rock quality varies from worthless choss to solid rock. If you don't like what you find on these rocks, no worry, there is plenty of room for new routes. Watch out for poison oak. This is one of the few area's in the canyon where poison oak is present near climbs. From the bottom of the canyon they are the group of rock furthest to the left and near the top of the hill. Approach from the top and walk down their north side to reach the climbs. There's not much of a trail but the walk is mostly open space. Approaching from the bottom of the canyon requires bushwhacking the whole way while likely unsuccessfully dodging massive amounts of poison oak.
Getting There
Getting into this area is a pain in the butt, but if you're into longer climbs and terrifying leads, this place is worthwhile.

- Excelent ServiceDKWalserDined on 9/1/2014The wait staff at Square 1682 are freindly and attentive without being intrusive. I had the bacon wrapped dates as an appitizer. It was decadently rich. A perfect marriage of sweet, savory, and a little heat from spice. For my meal, I had the lamb shanks with a side order of roasted corn. The lamb shanks come with a hash of summer vegtibles and and creamy bulgar wheat. Since a major component of the hash was roasted corn, I should have skipped the side order. My desert order was their cheese cake. It was good, but would have benefited from a little more lemony tang. Overall, the meal was an excelent end to the day.Special Features:
- Great!JessDined on 8/24/2014Went here for Sunday brunch. Not too crowded- great atmosphere, great staff, excellent food! Only minus was having to go upstairs to the hotel for the bathroom. I will definitely go back - want to try for dinner as well!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner and Brunch were TerffificDaveDined on 8/23/2014We had pre-theater dinner on Satuday and brunch on Sunday. Both were very good experiences. Excellent, well-trained and friendly servers. Menu and food are creative and extremely well prepared and presented. Chef and staff are clearly outstanding. We would definitely visit again.Special Features:
- Quiet night outFoodfanVIPDined on 8/16/2014Like the room space and the high chairs and tables, and staff were both attentive and helpful re recommendations. Food was good - the bacon wrapped dates were delicious, and my husband enjoyed his burger. My shrimp special was just ok. Not much ambiance but it was a Saturday night during the month of August when people were obviously at the beach. Expect that will change once September rolls around.Special Features:
- Welcoming and DeliciouspaperdillDined on 8/15/2014Our server was very helpful and friendly. For a light dinner for 2, we ordered 3 small plate items (salad, skewered shrimp, hummus platter) and parmesan fries. We loved almost everything. The fries might well be the best I've ever tasted -- and up to this point, my favorites were in Europe. The salad was perfect, and we enjoyed the cheese base on the salad plate. The shrimp was very nice. The hummus -- we wish we hadn't ordered because we didn't care for the flavors of the hummus or the toasts. Still, it was a lovely meal. Thank you! The atmosphere was nice -- not stuffy but refined. It was a very nice evening, and we hope to visit again soon to try breakfast or lunch.
- Dinner for TwoErinMcCoolyVIPDined on 8/14/2014A friend and I decided to try Square 1682 for a much needed get together in order to catch-up. It was the perfect spot. Having had our reservation on a lovely late Summer day, we sat outside and were not at all distracted by the hustle and bustle of Rittenhouse or overly stalked by the wait staff. It seemed as though we were always getting great service and had delicous food on our table. I would definintely try Square 1682 again to experience inside dining.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/3/2014Excellent brunch. Very attentive service and very friendly staff. Food came out delicious and very quickly! I would definitely recmomend Square 1682 to my friends!! Great selection on the menu with something for everyone.Special Features:
- OkaySYeagerVIPDined on 8/2/2014I liked the menu / space / service much more pre-renovations. Our server was extremely personable and nice when he came to the table, but it was a bit of a wait in between his visits to the table. There is no need to go out and socialize with your friends outside the restaurant before putting in our drink order. The drinks and food were unimpressive at best. There are many other restaurants and bars in the neighborhood I would recommend before Square 1682.
- Great lunch spot.DannyBDined on 7/30/2014Went to Square 1682 recently for the first time with coworkers looking for a new lunch spot. Will definitely be adding it to the rotation. Food was great, service was excellent and it was quiet enough to actually hold a conversation without shouting. Looking forward to a return visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for Business LunchkfcgVIPDined on 7/29/2014The restaurant was not crowded and the truffle popcorn was a nice bridge between our drinks and meal. Food was delicious and plentiful. The options for either ordering an entree or a pairing with an appetizer & dessert were a nice touch. Only negative is that we coould not find our server when trying to pay the bill.Special Features:
- Fantastic FoodSharita24VIPDined on 7/29/2014The food here is fantastic, most notably the kale caeser salad and burger and prices are reasonable. I still cant figure out why its always so empty, as its a nice location with a friendly staff. Will be back again if they can keep it going!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmazingATWMDined on 7/26/2014This restaurant is a gem. The staff are wonderful and attentive. Food is amazing. We are very picky about our food and have only good things to say about Square 1682. My husband had the burger which was fresh and delicious. I had Amish chicken which was moist and perfect. My daughter had fettuccine with veggies. Another great dish. Vegetables were fresh! They grow their own and locally source. They are serious about farm to table food and it makes all the difference. We had the cheesecake for dessert. Light and perfectly sweetened. Eat here for a hip and delicious meal in Philly!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- disappointmentEstroVIPDined on 7/24/2014it's my second time there. while i loved it for the first time, this time it was a disappointment. the food was average. my cold soup felt more like salad dressing and the french fries accompanied to the burger were cold! the service was slow and they forgot things (and the restaurant was not full). overall a mediocre experience. second time there, but won't come back.Special Features:
- Change is difficultWeeatoutVIPDined on 7/9/2014Recently Square 1682 downsized. That was probably a good decision given that the bigger space wasn't full very often. But it also changed the place. With the smaller size, the wait staff seems to be less attentive. The good news is the food is still a terrific blend of original flavors with hot food served hot and cold food served cold. Food excellent, service acceptable.Special Features:
- Wonderful experience!EllbeeDined on 7/4/2014This was a great find! First visit. Definitely coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very goidsp3cialVIPDined on 7/3/2014We were delayed due to a hotel fire alarm emergency. The chef offered us free desert. Thank you!I would recommend this to a friend.
- FabulousSuebDined on 7/2/2014Great service, food was without a flaw. Price was very reasonable and drinks were great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Should be betterVeltrauteDined on 6/21/2014I understand what they're aiming for at Square 1682, but they don't quite get there. The food was very good and very inventive, but the staff was distracted. Maybe because they television above the bar is loud and obnoxious? Maybe because the staff is to thin for the room? I'm not sure. I was expecting the whole farm to table experience. That's what I had been told I would get. Our waitress confessed that she wasn't really certain that the local chickens actually tasted better. We ordered a bottle of not inexpensive white wine, which was brought to the table room temperature and was off.Special Features:
- DedwardDined on 6/21/2014Had breakfast and dinner here as we celebrated our 40th anniversary. It was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ThalesDined on 6/16/2014A perfect place for an intimate lunch with a unique menu and attentive staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chic brunch spot in Center CityRun2eatVIPDined on 6/15/2014Square 1682 was easy to find and park close to for Sunday Brunch in Center City Philadelphia. The menu was diverse and had enough gluten free selections to satisfy those who are sensitive including my daughter. We also had my 11 month old grand daughter, the service team was especially sensitive to our needs in that respect. The food was tasty and the servings and served quickly - the restaurant was not busy or crowded. There was outdoor seating which looked appealing although we did not take advantage of it. We enjoyed our meal and would consider returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- very goodOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 6/14/2014very good very good very good very good very good very good very good very good very good
- JazHB28Dined on 6/14/2014Nice place to eat for night out with the girls. I imagine they have a good happy hour. Location is great- Rittenhouse squareSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/14/2014Had a great doggie brunch with friends. Was a fun atmosphere with great food!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good location and menu optionsKarenDined on 6/12/2014Did a smpling of apps and drinks and enjoyed both the taste and timliness of the delivered items. A bit pricey for every night but good for especial occasion and business conversations. Bathroom location needs work...you have to go to another floor.Special Features:
- TomsRiverVIPDined on 5/31/2014Great service and very attentive to our needs! Food was outstanding.I would recommend this to a friend.
- I think it's overpriced, but tastyEstroVIPDined on 5/28/2014When you look at the menu you see it's expensive and even though the food was very good, it's way overpriced. But the Salmon I had was excellent. the salad was good as well. great variety of alcohol choices. The waitress was very nice but spoke so quiet that we couldn't hear her and needed her to repeat several times what she's saying. we also needed to wait several time for the check. but in general, food came fast. water glasses were always full. good experience that would have been better if it was cheaper. and last thing: why the restrooms are at the 2nd floor of the hotel. a long journey and i think it's disrespectful to the costumers at the restaurant and affect the overall service experience.Special Features:
- Great again19460Dined on 5/24/2014We met friends at Square 1682 and had a great time. All 5 of us enjoyed our meals. The Salmon was great. The corn and potato soup of the day was fantastic. My wife has now had lamb at Square made 3 different ways and all have been great. The service once again was top notch all around!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Duck the DuckSGoldVIPDined on 5/24/2014I believe my duck was under cooked. My wife liked her steak but found it difficult to cut in a deep metal bowl.
- ShareVIPDined on 5/24/2014Calamari was delicious. Garlic Parmesan Fries was a disappointment. Main entrees: Halibut, Lancaster Duck Breast, and Scallops were well-seasoned. Nothing exciting or creative on the food prepared.Special Features:
- Great BrunchLadyChampsDined on 5/18/2014Had a great brunch here and highly recommend one of their specialty cocktails. The prosecco however is way too pricey for its quality-don't get that but everything else was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- service was spottyOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 5/18/2014our wait person disappeared after our food was placed, we never got water and items were incorrect or missing from our order.
- Palomar Hotel DiningDintheDDined on 5/17/2014Hotel dining with variety of offerings, interesting recipes that are both competently executed and pleasingly presented. Wine selection was good. 1682 is a convenient and attractive dining amenity located adjacent to the hotel's lobby. We had an opportunity to dine for dinner and breakfast. Hostess was distracted with phone calls ( room service ?), phone calls had priority over guest waiting to seat. Wait staff was attentive. I suggest they reevaluate their coffee selection and method of preparation; it was bitter, grounds in cup and request for fresh cup was not any better than the first cup.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun placeBaldBabsVIPDined on 5/17/2014Enjoyed the restaurant. Like the big windows. Waitress was friendly and knew what she was doing. Table mates enjoyed their food. Nice selections in the bread basket. Bacon wrapped dates were enjoyable. The Kale Caesar salad didn't seem to have anything to do with a Caesar salad. Very fresh though. Burger was excellent. The fries were not hot at all. Left most of them on the plate. Mac & Cheese was enjoyed by table mates, it seemed under seasoned to me. Overall it was a fun, nice atmosphere with excellent service and the food was good but not outstanding. Would recommend it to certain friends but not foodies.Special Features:
- Disappointed this timeDowntownBobVIPDined on 5/17/2014My dinner here a month ago was excellent, lunch last Saturday was a disappointment. The dining room was not busy, but since we were only 2 , we were seated in the only table for 2, which was adjacent to two large tables of diners. Why can't host/ hostesses think out of the box and offer a table away from those already seated? It happens all the time and it frustrates me. My dining companion ordered the burger cooked rare. Our meals arrived, the french fries on both plates were stone cold. A bite into his burger showed the beef was fully cooked, not a trace of pink. It went back and the second try was perfect.Special Features:
- Not up to standardsdlogs59VIPDined on 5/15/2014Although we both enjoyed salads mine was over dressed and my burger was way over seasoned. Expected more.
- Fantastic FoodFoodyWineGuyDined on 5/12/2014This is the 2nd time I have been to Square1682 and the food was even better! So happy I choose to go here for my birthday lunch. It is a fabulously decorated place with a lot of space to move around, your not crunched in with many tables. Also the staff is Fabulous too, my waitress was the best and very fast! I can't wait to come back for my 3rd visit!Special Features:
- Great Gathering PlacebeforetheconcertDined on 5/11/2014Great place with excellent service and unique dishes that are not over the top. Meghan our waitress was helpful and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed the house burger and the Kale Caesar. Plenty of flavorful food. Popcorn with truffle oil is addictive, yum! Looking forward to bringing some more friends the next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place!jje23Dined on 5/10/2014Loved the menu. The kale Caesar was a great twist on a classic. The mussels and shrimp special also great and nice bread basket.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 907 reviews are from the Square 1682 reviews archive.
- Mixed Dining ExperienceAnitaBDined on 5/10/2014The food (and free truffle oil popcorn) at Square 1682 was delicious, although the salmon portion was rather small and the filet mignon could have been hotter. The waiter was nice but a bit inattentive. The wine seemed quite over-priced for the quality, and it took 15-20 minutes to get the white wine we ordered because "it had to be chilled." Also, the noise level was high.Special Features:

Notre Dame Michigan Odds

The No. 14 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (1-0) travel to face the No. 17 Michigan Wolverines (1-0) on Saturday, September 7. The last time these two teams squared off in Ann Arbor, the Wolverines pulled off a stunning 35-31 victory by overcoming a 24-7 deficit in the fourth quarter.
The Fighting Irish would have their revenge last year, winning 13-6 at home. You can catch this rivalry on ESPN at 8:00 EST Saturday night. Oddsmakers in Las Vegas have installed Michigan as a 3.5-point favorite over Notre Dame and a total set of 51.5 points.
Why Michigan Covers
Many believe that the Wolverines will make a run at a Big Ten Title in 2013. Brady Hoke finally has his system in place and doesn't have to tweak it for Denard Robinson any longer. In Devin Gardner, he has the style of quarterback that is more fit to run his system. Gardner and the Wolverines dominated Central Michigan 59-9 as 31.5-point favorites in Week 1 to kick off their season in style.
Gardner completed 10 of 15 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 52 yards and two scores. The Wolverines amassed 463 total yards for the game, including 242 on the ground while averaging 5.1 per carry. The defense, which should be improved in 2013, allowed only 210 total yards to the Chippewas. This stop unit held Central Michigan to three field goals for the game.
The Fighting Irish were much less impressive defensively in their home victory over Temple on Saturday. They allowed 362 total yards and clearly miss the presence of Manti Te'o on that side of the ball. Temple quarterback Connor Reilly threw for 228 yards while also rushing for 65 yards. The Irish could struggle to contain Gardner, who is also a dual threat quarterback.
Michigan has won six of its last eight home meetings with Notre Dame. It went a perfect 7-0 at home last season, outscoring opponents 38.5 to 16.0, or by an average of 22.5 points per game. Plays on home favorites of 3.5 to 10 points (MICHIGAN) – after a win by 35 or more points are 65-30 (68.4%) ATS over the last 10 seasons. Hoke is 13-4 against the spread in home games in the first month of the season in all games he has coached.

Why Notre Dame Covers
The Fighting Irish are already competing for national titles entering head coach Brian Kelly's fourth year on the job. They went 12-1 last season with their only loss coming to Alabama in the BCS Championship. With 14 starters back from that squad, there's no question that this is going to be one of the strongest teams in the country in 2013.
Notre Dame is off to a nice start to the 2013 campaign with a 28-6 victory over Temple in its opener. While the defense did give up some yardage, it was once again stingy in the red zone, limiting the Owls to just one touchdown. I was extremely impressed with the offense, which amassed 543 total yards. Tommy Rees went 16 of 23 for 346 yards and three touchdowns. It's clear that the Irish will not miss Everett Golson too much this season.
Amazingly, seven of the last nine meetings in this series have been upsets. That means taking the points has been a very profitable move over the past decade. Plus, you have to consider that Michigan went 0-4 against ranked opponents last season. The Irish held the Wolverines to just 299 total yards in last year's meeting while forcing a whopping six turnovers. They would prevail 13-6 at home.
Notre Dame is 15-5 against the spread in its last 20 games as a road underdog of 7 points or less. Michigan is 22-42 against the numbers in its last 64 games as a favorite of 3.5 to 10 points. Brian Kelly is 9-1 against the spread after allowing 6 points or less last game in all games he has coached. Kelly is also 16-6 against the number as a road underdog in all games he has coached.

Tax Reductions and all Municipal Salary Reductions..
It would be better to reduce any and all taxes and Municipal Salaries at this period in time. Why? Our National Economy can easily be the poster child for what will eventually hit the majority of the Tax Paying Public of San Francisco County. There is no doubt with the recently acquired federal debt that national inflation is around the corner. In San Francisco, there is presently a pocket of many who are presently effluent in the private sector - which in fact is unlike the rest of our Nation presently no longer exists. In addition to the reduction of all taxes and City and County Salaries, I would suggest a reduction of at least 15 to 20%% of all salaried City and County Employees - and that includes our elected officials.. Yes, I agree, this will create both anger and pain as no doubt promises, Union Contracts have been made for the financial integrity of all City and County Employees and then as well as all Elected Officials and Law Makers. But then again, think about stability and future of the City and County of San Francisco's Reset for constructive and beneficial change. No?

The Herald Bulletin
---- — Giving up one's lifeblood and mission is a heart-rending task.
But it is time for Anthony J. Malone, president and CEO of the Madison County Community Health Centers, to relinquish his reins on his beloved operation.
Beginning in 1999, Malone guided the growth of the center from humble beginnings at 1101 N. Meridian Plaza to its current expanded facility at 1547 Ohio Ave. The staff list now names more than 75 people.
Back in those first days, the health center's patient population was 12 percent Hispanic and 13 percent African-American, so it was able to reach out to a diverse range of patients with limited access to health care. Malone's early work was heartfelt, from hosting a community cookout to starting a breast cancer prevention program to promoting the Madison County Healthy Marriage and Family Initiative, among many other critical services.
In 2001, a branch clinic opened in Elwood to bring health care closer to residents in northern Madison County. Also served by the clinic were seasonal migrant workers.
But the operation has grown too unwieldy for one man to believe he can control. Fires have been erupting, and Malone is scrambling to put them out.
Earlier this year, the center's chief medical officer, Frank Campbell, was investigated by the state.
The Indiana Attorney General filed a complaint with the Indiana Medical Licensing Board claiming Campbell allowed two assistants to use his licenses to write prescriptions for Schedule II drugs. Medications in this class have a high potential for abuse.
Campbell reportedly pre-signed the prescriptions so they could be used in case he was not at the center. An estimated 14,000 prescriptions were filled in 2012 using Campbell's registration numbers that "were most likely not authorized by (Campbell) from a medical examination, assessment or determination...," according to the complaint. The state licensing board has a hearing on Campbell's case set for December.
Malone may not have known this was going on with his medical director and assistants. But he should have.
In October, the Indiana Department of Health visited one of the sites where the health center administered vaccines to children. The publicly funded vaccines were given to children with insurance, which violated the state's requirements for screening and administering the vaccines. The state has barred the health center sites in Anderson and Elwood from providing publicly funded vaccines. A grant worth $224,800 is gone.
In addition, letters were sent Oct. 14 to four board officers in which the State Department of Health questioned the "integrity" of the health center's operations. The state will not sign a grant agreement with the center until seven conditions are met. Among them is the removal of Malone from his position as CEO and president of the center. He is to hold no other position at the center.
The center's board has the option of disregarding or following the stipulation.
Malone is now costing the center hundreds of thousands of dollars that should be helping a population in dire need of services. And to think that children may not receive vaccines is unforgivable.
Lately, Malone has also taken on a brashness that is unbecoming of the center's service to this community. He has stated that will not leave his post. It is time to rethink that posturing.
Removing Malone clearly takes institutional knowledge out of the operation — even its heart. But the integrity and funding of health care in this community is critical.
Madison County should thank Anthony Malone for his passion, energy and commitment in serving the needy, but it is time to find new leadership.
Editor's note: Herald Bulletin Editor Scott Underwood is a member of the editorial board and is secretary of the Madison County Community Health Centers' board of directors. To avoid a conflict of interest, he was not involved in the editorial board's discussion, writing and editing of this editorial.

Backpacker Magazine – October 2009
Think like a desert dweller to stay cool and comfortable.
On the Trail | In Camp | Key Gear
Protective clothing Minimize exposed skin with a light-colored, long-sleeve, collared shirt and lightweight pants. "You may feel warmer initially," says Death Valley National Park backcountry ranger Aaron Shandor, "but once you start moving, creating a breeze, and sweating, you'll be much cooler."Sun hat Best: A wide-brimmed sun hat (like Royal Robbins's Extreme Expedition Hat; $20, royalrobbins.com). Cheaper: Tuck (or sew) a bandanna under the back rim of your cap, Lawrence of Arabia-style.
Skirt Women: Get maximum comfort and breathability in an above-the-knee cotton skirt, says Mountain Travel Sobek guide Shelli Ogilvy. And guys: Try Mountain Hardwear's Mountain Kilt ($50, mountainhardwear.com).
Sleeping sack In jungle-worthy weather, pack a lightweight cotton model (such as Cocoon's Cotton Mummyliner; $20, cocoon.at) instead of your sleeping bag. (And use it to line your bag for extra warmth in cold weather.)
Mist bottle Fill one at the trailhead and spritz yourself regularly on hot, dry hikes, advises Shandor.
Cotton shirt Yep, you read that right. Cotton's slow-drying properties make it perfect for scorching temps: Soak a shirt in a stream, then put it on for sweet relief. "Warmth moves to a cooler area to equalize, so the cool water from a bandanna or T-shirt draws heat off your body," explains Iris Saxer, an instructor with the Wilderness Medicine Institute.
Portable shade Bring a backpacking umbrella for protection on the move or a light-colored tarp for lunchtime.
My Secret: Dennis Lewon
"Admittedly, there's no science to back this up," says our executive editor, who once hiked through a Sonoran Desert heat wave. "But when I trek in temps above 100F, I like to drink a cup of hot tea in the afternoon in camp. Some say it makes you sweat more, which increases cooling. I think it slightly raises your internal body temperature, which makes the outside air feel cooler."

It's a good idea to have a water purifier in case you run out of water.
Correction of my previous comment : please read "by very HOT weather" and nor "old weather".
By very old weather it may also be interesting to wear one or two tennis wristbands, so you can wip off the sweat on your forehead.
I have been hiking in the height of Australia summer 40 degrees celcius and 1 item i would never consider leaving without is my "KOOL IT" neck band. They last 2-4 hrs b4 you have to soak them in water again and boy do they work!
I swear by these things im not sure if they have a website or what country they are made but they can be found here http:
well worth the $15 Aus
Drinking hot tea on hot days, I'm told, is a trick used by Salt Merchants in North Africa. Apparently, there is some physiological reason why it works. This is what I heard: the tea heats up your core, and your body responds by pushing blood away from your core nearer the skin and into your extremities to compensate. Because more blood is passing near the skin, more blood is cooled by the effects of sweat evaporation. Presumably, this works best when humidity is lowest (< 50%).
The umbrella trick is a good idea but realize that nylon is tranparent to UV and you can still get a sunburn. Cover the umbrella with a piece of mylar emergency blanket and secure at the points. Very cool.
We kept our tent cool in the afternoon by placing a sleeping bag over it. It really made a difference.

Published in The Athens Observer, p. 16A (November 24-December
1, 1993).
Author: Donald E. Wilkes, Jr., Professor of Law, University of Georgia School of Law.
What a shame it is that attorney Gerald Posner's book,
Closed (Random House, 1993) is now, in the 30th year after the assassination
of President John F. Kennedy, a national best-seller. The book purports
to prove that the Warren Report was right: that 24-year old Lee Harvey
Oswald was a violence-prone, disgruntled, pro-Communist misfit and loner
who, without help from anyone, murdered JFK; that Oswald accomplished the
assassination with a bolt-action 6.5 mm Italian rifle manufactured around
1940 and ammunition manufactured in 1944; that shortly afterwards Oswald
killed a Dallas policeman, J. D. Tippit, with a pistol; and that the evidence
of Oswald's guilt as the lone assassin is so strong that the JFK murder
may be described as a closed case.
Posner's book is interesting; the author has obviously done a lot of research, and he demolishes several extravagant conspiracy theories concerning the assassination; but nonetheless the book wholly fails to demonstrate that there was no conspiracy behind the assassination. The effect of the book is to continue the coverup of the sinister and strange circumstances of the assassination, a coverup which began with the Warren Commission in 1964 and continues to be embraced by the media and press establishment. If the case is closed, it is only because the coverup continues.
Posner is one of the very few researchers to have looked at the evidence and concluded that the Warren Report was right, and in that sense he is a sort of lone nut among JFK assassination buffs. The reviews of Posner's book generally have been favorable, but this is unfortunate, since Posner's book is not the result of a judicious and impartial inquiry; it is not the fruit of a quest for the truth; it is a work of special pleading. In order to prove Oswald's guilt as the sole assassin of a president and the lone murderer of a police officer, Posner ignores or disparages facts to the contrary, and erroneously asserts that certain matters are proven facts when in actuality they are not. Incredibly, he attempts to resuscitate the discredited "single bullet theory"--the theory that a bullet fired from behind entered JFK's back or neck, transected his body, and then struck Texas Gov. John ConnalIy. In appraising the activities and statements of the police and intelligence agencies which failed to warn or protect JFK and then failed to adequately investigate the assassination, he displays a disturbing naivete surprising in a lawyer supposed to be a sophisticated investigator. He cannot give a good reason why Oswald would kill the President, and his lame explanation of Oswald's alleged motive flies in the face of Oswald's behavior after the assassination.
In a vain effort to uphold the single gunman theory, Posner constructs an absurd account of the actual assassination: he asserts that a lone Oswald, who would have had an easy, unobstructed shot as the presidential limousine approached the Texas School Book Depository, foolishly waited until the limousine had passed the Depository and was moving away from him before firing, when his target was harder to hit; that Oswald then proceeded to fire his first shot while his view of the limousine was obstructed by both a tall street lamp and a tree, rather than waiting the three seconds more it would take for the car to move to a position where his view was unobstructed; that the first shot missed and his second shot, fired 4 seconds later, wounded both JFK and Gov. Connally (even though none of the eyewitnesses thought both men had been hit by the same bullet, even though Connally and his wife adamantly maintained that Connally was hit by a shot fired after JFK had already been hit, and even though the famous Zapruder film of the assassination shows that Connally did not react to his injury until seconds after JFK had reacted to wounds far less serious than Connally's); and finally, that 5 seconds later, using a cheap, flimsy, dilapidated, 25-year old second-hand rifle that sold for $2.00 wholesale, Oswald (a poor shot) was able to shoot JFK in the head at a distance of 265 feet (88 yards) while the presidential limousine was moving away, downhill, and at an angle from the sniper's perch in the Depository. Posner even refers to the fatal headshot--a shot which would have required the combined talents of Robin Hood, William Tell, and Annie Oakley--as "a simple shot" (!) (Case Closed, p. 476).
Posner's book is not above stating as "fact" matters which are by no means proven.
To link Oswald to the Italian rifle found on the sixth floor of the Depository, Posner asserts that in the Warren Commission proceedings the FBI fiber experts who examined the paper bag Oswald allegedly used to carry the Italian rifle to the Depository "discovered that the bag contained microscopic fibers from the blanket with which Oswald kept his rifle wrapped" in a garage prior to the assassination (p. 225). In actuality, the FBI fiber expert who testified before the Warren Commission refused to make a positive identification, stating (Warren Commission Hearings, vol. 4, p. 81): "All I would say here is that it is possible that these fibers could have come from this blanket ..."
In an attempt to pooh-pooh the large body of evidence that a hidden gunman fired at JFK from the grassy knoll located to the right front of the presidential limousine, Posner heaps scorn on the eyewitnesses who saw a puff of smoke arising from the knoll at the time of the shooting, asserting that "since modern ammunition is smokeless, it seldom creates even a wisp of smoke" (Case Closed, p. 256). However, the panel of firearms experts retained by the U. S. House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations (which in 1977-78 reinvestigated the JFK murder) reported that even smokeless powder emits residue and smoke when a cartridge is fired; and the panel further reported that when they test-fired the "Oswald" rifle "some smoke was observed coming from the muzzle of the weapon." (House Assassinations Committee Hearings, vol. 7, p. 373.)
Consider also Posner's statement of the "proof" that Oswald killed Tippit, a killing that Posner says "is [the] key to understanding Oswald's" murder of JFK (Case Closed, p. 280). Four bullets were removed from the body of Officer Tippit. In 1964, at the request of the Warren Commission, experts from the FBI Crime Laboratory compared those bullets with sample bullets fired from the pistol taken from Oswald after his arrest. The FBI experts determined that because the barrel had been modified (apparently before Oswald obtained the pistol), bullets fired from the pistol did not have sufficient identifying marks to be linked with the pistol, and they therefore concluded that, although the bullets in Tippit's body could have been fired from Oswald's pistol, it was "not possible" to say with scientific certainty that they had been (Warren Commission Hearings, vol. 3, p. 475). Another ballistics expert retained by the Warren Commission, Joseph Nichol of the Chicago Police Laboratory, also tested the bullets and agreed with the FBI experts, except that Nichol claimed that his tests proved one of the Tippit bullets had been fired from Oswald's pistol. Thus Nichol claimed to have proved what the FBI experts said it was "not possible" to prove. The Warren Commission accepted the view of the FBI experts that the Tippit bullets could not be shown to a scientific certainty to have been fired from the Oswald pistol (Warren Report, pp. 172, 176).
In 1978 the House Assassinations Committee had the Tippit bullets examined by a panel of five firearms experts who, like the FBI experts, concluded that the bullets "could not be conclusively identified or eliminated as having been fired from the [Oswald] revolver." (House Assassinations Committee Hearings, vol. 7, p. 377.)
Yet this is how Posner states the "facts" concerning Oswald's pistol and the bullets that killed Tippit: "On three of the bullets, the best the experts could conclude was that the bullets had the same characteristics as Oswald's revolver, but they could not isolate them to that gun. However, a fourth bullet had enough unique characteristics that it was matched to his revolver to the exclusion of all others." (Case Closed, p. 279.) In a footnote supposedly supporting this emphasized mistruth, Posner audaciously cites the testimony Nichol gave to the Warren Commission!
In claiming that Oswald was a loner with no ties to American intelligence agencies, Posner dismisses summarily a massive amount of evidence that Oswald had intelligence connections and frequently hung around with right-wingers, and refuses to accept the plain truth that "loner" Oswald associated with intelligence operatives, including CIA operative and right-wing extremist David Ferrie and another far-rightist, ex-FBI agent Guy Bannister, both of whom had close dealings with Oswald, the supposed Marxist, in New Orleans in the summer of 1963. He also finds "understandable, rather than sinister" (p. 87), Oswald's close relationship in Texas with the mysterious George de Mohrenschildt, a wealthy, right-wing, Russian aristocrat whose cover was "petroleum engineering" and whose entire life was steeped in intelligence work. Amazingly, Posner accepts at face value solemn statements, sworn testimony, and affidavits by American intelligence agencies denying they had dealings with Oswald, and appears to actually believe that the absence of proof in the files of these agencies that Oswald was an intelligence agent demonstrates that he was not such an agent.
Like all single-assassin theorists, Posner can advance no plausible reason why Oswald would have desired JFK's death. There is no evidence that Oswald ever said anything bad about or indicated any hostility to JFK, and there is evidence that Oswald admired JFK. The best explanation he can offer is that Oswald was the classic lone nut, a wifebeater, a Marxist, a malcontent, a misfit; Oswald, he says, killed JFK because he was "driven by his own twisted and impenetrable furies" (p. 472) and because he wanted the "fame" and "glory" that crazies attribute to assassins who kill notable persons. But there are thousands, perhaps millions of people as sick or strange as Oswald supposedly was, and they do not attempt presidential assassinations; why then would he? And if Oswald wanted to bask in the splendor of being a presidential assassin, why after his arrest did he deny guilt? Why, when he was surrounded by the press, when the cameras were rolling and the whole world listening, did he not (like all previous presidential assassins) glory in his deed and brag about it to the world? Why did he instead say, "I didn't shoot anybody," "I'm just a patsy," and "I emphatically deny these charges"?
At the end of his book Posner flatly claims that Oswald
"was the only assassin in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963," and contends
that "[t]o say otherwise" is "to mock the President he killed" (p. 472).
As usual, Posner is wrong. To leap to the conclusion that Oswald
is "a man with blood on his hands" (p. 472), to claim that there is overwhelming
evidence or scientific proof that Oswald was the lone assassin, to deny
that the evidence against Oswald is weak, to ignore the compelling evidence
that JFK's motorcade came under gunfire from several directions, or to
otherwise try to cling to the quaint, obsolescent notion that Lee Harvey
Oswald alone killed John F. Kennedy, is what really constitutes mocking
the truth.

Throughout the years, Valletta has welcomed emperors, heads of state, artists and poets and is now the permanent seat of the Maltese government.Dotted with quaint cafés and wine bars, the city is today one of Malta's main tourist attractions, hosting among others, the majestic St John's Co- Cathedral, the imposing bastions and a treasure of priceless paintings. It also provides a stunning snapshot of Malta's Grand Harbour, often described as the most beautiful in the Mediterranean.The city's unique setting nowadays plays host to a series of cultural events, from theatre in English, to concerts by leading opera singers.A hive of business activity during the day, the city switches to a slower gear for the night. Use it to your advantage to get away from the noise and take a stroll to admire the magic of the fortified capital amplified by the gentle lighting. Admire the bastion walls, the dense clusters of worn limestone buildings, the timber balconies, and imposing Churches.from www.cityofvalletta.org

ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 17, 2011)—By a vote of 6-0 on Thursday, the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) awarded fall dates to Santa Anita Park, to be run from Sept. 28 through Nov. 6.
Santa Anita, in conjunction with the Oak Tree Racing Association, had conducted a live fall meeting since 1969, with the exception of 2010, when Santa Anita's main track was closed for repair, resulting in the dates being transferred to Hollywood Park.
"This is great news for Santa Anita and for the California horse racing industry," said Santa Anita President George Haines. "This means so much to so many people. From all of our employees and the people who work within the industry, to our fans and to the entire business community here in the San Gabriel Valley, this means jobs, revenue and the opportunity to remain viable and to grow our business into the future."
Live racing at Santa Anita is a key component to a viable economy in the city of Arcadia and beyond.
"Obviously, this is very welcome news, on several fronts," said Arcadia City Manager Don Penman. "Not just from the standpoint of providing fans with the opportunity to visit what we believe is the most beautiful racing facility in the world, but having live racing back here in the fall is a great opportunity for our hotels, restaurants and other businesses in this very tough economy.
"Live racing at Santa Anita is something that clearly distinguishes Arcadia from any other city in the region. Arcadia and Santa Anita are in many respects, regarded as one and the same. Both are known for their beauty and geographic location and when people think of one, they really think of the other.
"Santa Anita generates revenue for the city in a variety of ways. For the fall meet, we estimate that pari-mutuel handle alone will provide the city with approximately $185,000. When you factor in sales tax on food and beverage at the track, hotel bed tax and other sales tax revenue generated throughout the city, you realize just how important it is to have live racing here."
Santa Anita's current 76-day winter/spring meeting will conclude on April 17. For more information, fans are encouraged to visit www.santaanita.com, or to call (626) 574-RACE.

ARLINGTON — Nearly one year ago, Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck showed up at his City Hall office to meet with a team of FBI officials.
"The agent in charge said, 'There is a gentleman that was going to have you killed, and it was going to be today or tomorrow,'" Cluck recalled.
For the first time, the mayor is speaking out in great detail about the plot to kill him that was uncovered in April 2012.
Given the recent killings of Kaufman County prosecutors Mark Hasse and Mark McLelland and his wife, Cluck said it is hard not to think about what if the worst had happened in his case.
"When I read about the murders in Kaufman, it kind of brought that all back... I could've easily been killed," he told News 8.
Cluck said it was over Easter weekend last year that he first knew something was wrong. FBI agents wanted to discuss something urgent, but refused to do so until they could meet in person.
The feds had arrested Ryan Grant, then 34, in a plot that involved hiring Mexican hit men to kill Cluck, along with a city attorney.
Grant was upset about growing city scrutiny of a strip club, according to court documents. In January, he was sentenced to 10 years behind bars.
"It seems just like a really bad, bad dream," Cluck said.
The mayor and his wife received a security detail outside their house. He got a three-man crew that followed him everywhere.
"One in front, one in back, one to the side. Everywhere I went, it was an entourage," Cluck said.
The mayor also revealed that he requested the detail be suspended after "only a few weeks," but that given what happened in Kaufman he would probably act quite differently today.
Cluck said in the wake of the Kaufman killings, Arlington has stepped up security, but he declined to offer any specifics.

Pennsylvania's new Right-to-Know Law took effect January 1, 2009. The law concerns public access to records at public institutions and government agencies. The most significant change is that the burden of proof is now on the institution or agency to show why a record should not be released; there are 31 categories of records exempted under this law. The new law does not overrule existing laws such as FERPA (the Buckley Amendment) that limit access to certain records.
Also, while many community colleges (including CCAC) have followed the spirit of the law in the past, they are explicitly required to comply with the new Right-to-Know Law.
What does this mean for you? You should know some of the most important provisions of the law before submitting a request.

Heralded by Cycle World, American Motorcyclist, and comedian Jay Leno, the Wheels Through Time Museum recently picked up even more exposure on an episode of History Channel's American Pickers. In "The Belly Dance," hosts Mike and Frank come to the museum in need—they've found a rare belly-tank racer, but unless they can get it to run, the find will have cost them more money than it's worth.
That's where museum founder and curator Dale Walksler, automotive enthusiast par excellence, comes in. In 1993, Walksler invited crowds and fellow bike buffs to join in the astonishing details of his obsession: more than 300 rare and historical classic motorcycles amid a collection of tens of thousands of related artifacts. Free from the ghosts of vengeful traffic cops, the double-decker garage resembles a fever-dream cycle showroom gleaming with vintage and contemporary models by Harley Davidson, Indian, and Excelsior, and one-of-a-kind machines that include the handsome Traub. The ahead-of-its-time machine was discovered bricked up inside a Chicago wall in 1967, built by a brilliant designer who apparently never built another bike before or after. Despite dating back to the 1910s, nearly all of the machines can still run—often zooming straight through the 40,000-square-foot museum floor¬—and lecture passersby on four-way intersection etiquette.
For 17 years, third-generation and FAA–certified sky engineer Addison M. Brown has hoisted panorama junkies into the sky by harnessing the power of hot, blustery air. Each morning, between the hours of 6 a.m. and 8 a.m., he and his team pile up to 8 to 14 passengers into the basket of their giant balloons. Then, firing off the burner, they slowly lift off as the sun begins its own ascent, typically reaching heights from 500 to 2,000 feet. Below them, the rays of the sunrise wash over vistas of downtown Asheville, a patchwork of multicolored crop fields, and the tree-covered backs of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Maneuvering with the morning's mild wind currents, they ferry the group over hills and hollows for a 3- to 5-mile float. Upon a gentle landing, the crew celebrates with passengers by offering them a champagne toast and helping them dust the clouds out of their hair. Passengers are welcomed to bring their own cameras or video cameras to document the flight.
The clopping of hooves echoes across Winding Creek Stables' wide-open pastures and jumping arena, where a staff of ex-competitive equestrians takes a comprehensive approach to riding instruction. In private and group lessons, instructors share their wisdom about handling and technique while impressing upon students the importance of respecting their steeds. Adults and children alike can pick between the hunt-seat riding style popular at horse shows and the western style, which includes instructions for chasing down robber barons and lassoing feral cacti. Students learn to groom and care for their horses before and after the lesson—a gesture of respect to the animals and a key takeaway should novices desire to advance to competitive riding. Before riding off into the sunset, check out the stable's other horse-related services, which include pony parties and pony rides.
Since 1976, area merchants and knowledgeable experts from around the country have gathered to swap ideas, inspiration, and advice at the Western North Carolina Home Show. Throughout the Asheville Civic Center, hundreds of local businesses and experts set up booths where they explain the nuts and bolts of their industry, whether landscaping, interior decoration, window installation, or furniture crafting. Meanwhile, speakers present seminars on a wide variety of topics throughout the weekend-long extravaganza, from hyperpractical subjects, such as setting a budget, to more abstract topics, such as the definition and history of green building. Visitors to the show depart with rekindled enthusiasm for projects, as well as an arsenal of facts that give them an edge when vetting contractors or performing standup at interior-design conferences.
At Aerial Space, workouts unfold in midair. Practitioners weave through suspended silks, flow through yoga poses supported by hammocks, or practice acrobatic moves on the static trapeze and lyra, a suspended hoop. Aerial Space's aerial circus-arts classes, offered privately and for groups of children and adults, instill equal parts grace, fitness, and newfound skill.
According to many Asheville residents, the best place to propose marriage is about a mile above the trees, with mountains in the background and a good grip on the ring. Such engagement flights might even lead to a midair wedding party comprising four colorful balloons all tethered together as they ferry well-wishers through the clouds. When the baskets touch down, a traditional champagne toast pays homage to the journey and the bond shared by its passengers.
Asheville Hot Air Balloons' pilots also helm more casual sunrise flights seven days a week. Each expedition takes them over Pisgah National Forest according to the whims of the breeze and the severity of the moon's allergies. The wind's unpredictable path ensures that the last leg of the trip is always exhilarating—"chasers" must tail and land the balloon in the nearest suitable space by securing ropes thrown from its basket. Spring, summer, and fall flights all arrest riders with their own brands of scenery, from woodland greenery to fiery tableaus of autumn leaves.

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950)
Edgar Rice Burroughs is best known for his adventure stories featuring the legendary characters Tarzan and John Carter. After spending years in dead-end jobs, he decided to try writing pulp fiction, figuring that he could write better stories than those he was reading. Many of his Tarzan stories were written while he lived in Oak Park.

Had this on-tap at Bryden's and then picked up a can at the brewery. Served in a taster pint glass.
A - White foam settles to a partial cap, thick collar, and a few specks of lace. Hazed golden body.
S - Loads of Simcoe hops! Zesty, with notes of lemon and tropical fruits, and a hint of cattiness in there. Malt bill is pretty understated.
T - The taste is quite similar, with a hefty dose of melon, and grapefruit rind over top of a sugar cookie malt bill. The taste is surprisingly bitter for an APA; a few too many early-boil hops for my tastes I guess.
M - Pleasant medium body, lower carbonation, and a dry, crisp, finish.
D - A nice hoppy Canadian ale. The pint I had on-tap at Bryden's was closer to an A-, but the can was unfortunately not quite up to the same level. Still, I'd drink this again if I ran across it in Toronto.

Although not enjoying this can as much as I have previous encounters on draught, still a brilliant APA that I hope to see more widely distributed.
Can pours a hazy golden colour that is fairly visually uninspiring, except for the white head that lasts an impressively long time. Mild aroma is hop-forward, Simcoe specifically, as expected - with a green, graininess. The taste profile has great hop depth, starting neutral with a bitterness that develops over the malt-backboned body to the finish. Resiny pine, citrus and "Simcoe". All I could (personally) ever hope for.
Thank-you, Great Lakes!

Johnny Simcoe
Bottle purchased from the brewery a day after they put it in their store. Served in their 25th Anniversary glass.
Appearance - Yellow along the outside, orange inside. Sunset looking. No real head to speak of.
Smell - The best part of this beer, passionfruit bomb. Smells like it would be a great juice.
Taste - There isn't as much taste as there is smell unfortunately, little bit watery but its still quite good. Refreshing.
Mouthfeel - Not a ton of bitterness which adds to the refreshing taste with little to no carbonation.
Overall - Another good beer from Great Lakes, an interesting change because I'm used to their big IBU beers, where this one is much more refreshing and easy drinking. Great session beer.

On cask at Bar Volo. Slight hop aroma, golden body with some cask-like bubbly head. It grows on me, a decent bitterness,from Simcoe I think. Some vegetable notes, yes celery sounds right. Decent cask, although nothing exceptional.Average mouthfeel, though a little oily.

We collect very few standards, because there has not yet been a significant need for them. We have:
- the IEEE standards available electronically through the IEL system
- ASTM standards available in the Science Library reference section.
- SAE standards
Standards are also available through interlibrary loan if necessary. Be sure to specify if you need the latest standard available. To find standards, there are many indexes available both on-line and in print form. The finest overall standards database is the Global Engineering Database but other search engines are available for Individual Standards Issuing bodies
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standards
We have the entire set of ASTM standards online and we have the 2012 standards in print in the Reference Department..
American Society for Testing and Materials. Annual book of ASTM standards. Philadelphia, Pa. : ASTM,. RELATED TITLES: Continues: American Society for Testing and Materials Book of ASTM standards. UCR Science Ref TA401 A653 Currently received.
The Index is shelved with the volumes, and reference librarians are willing and able to help find particular standards. ASTM standards are reviewed every five years. If the standard has a revision year of more than 5 years ago and no notation that it has been reapproved within 5 years, it is out of date.
IEEE Standards
Full-text images of IEEE standards can be found in IEEE Explorewhich we have licensed through the California Digital Library.
Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE) Standards
We no longer have the latest SAE standards in our library collection, as they have stopped producing them in Paper or on a DVD. We are trying to negotiate for access, but the price is out of our league. In the meantime, please request the standards, and if they are not available at another library, I will purchase them and put them in our print collection.
