Commissioner Frank Burt questions voter registration of citizen/blogger with questions
March 2nd, 2011 — County Government
From the PR article:
Burt voiced frustration that questions about the contract "didn't get raised in workshop discussions" and blamed "blogs and e-mails that have come through" for shaking commissioner support.
One such blogger, Ian Walters of Daphne, sent an e-mail last week opposing hiring lobbyists. In answer, Burt forwarded the e-mail to Assistant County Administrator David Brewer asking, "Have you determined if Mr. Ian Walters is a registered voter in Baldwin County? Or, is it perhaps possible that he may just be another unhappy resident blogger with too much leisure time?" The forwarded e-mail went to numerous people including the Press-Register.
Asked Tuesday if commissioners directed staff to research Walters' voting status and why, Burt responded that he sent the e-mail, and it was widely distributed. He said it was "just a question I asked of staff. I did not direct staff to research anything and Mr. Walters answered it himself. He ought to be a very happy man."
Many look forward to Burt's response to the requested "public explanation of why I should be treated any differently than any other resident in the County"

Elberta Police Chief Defends His Story
March 2nd, 2011 — Elberta
Elberta Police Chief Mickey Pledger is defending his story that someone shot at him. He says an investigation will prove he's telling the truth.
Remember two weeks ago Chief Pledger re-enacted what he says happened for our cameras. He claimed a man standing outside his office fired at him when he walked out, but there are many out there who say the chief's story doesn't add up.
Pledger says he knows there are skeptics and those who don't believe his life was in danger the night of Feb. 13 when he says a gunman came for him. "You can rumor all you want, but the physical evidence doesn't lie," says Pledger. "That's the bottom line."
Baldwin School Officials: No Teacher Layoffs
March 2nd, 2011 — Schools
On Monday, Alabama Governor Robert Bentley announced a 165 million dollar shortfall in the state's education fund. In Baldwin County, the announcement means three million dollars in cuts.
But school officials here say thanks to the one-percent school sales tax voters approved last year, teachers here will keep their jobs. No layoffs are expected because of proration.
Baldwin County Schools Facing Budget Cuts
March 1st, 2011 — Schools
School systems across Alabama are slashing their budgets once again. Gov. Robert Bentley declared proration for education Monday night.
Bentley says the education fund is facing a $165 million shortfall, which means schools must cut 3 percent from their budgets. That's $9 million for Mobile County, and $3 million in Baldwin County. The good news is, both school systems say they have the funds to cover it, so teachers and students won't face anymore cuts. However, next year is where officials say things could take a downward turn.

A recipe for security
Thursday, June 21, 2012 5:09 PM EDT
Thursday, June 21, 2012 5:09 PM EDT
(ARA) - Have you ever tried making a new dish without the benefit of having the recipe? Knowing the ingredients in their right proportions makes creating a delicious, satisfying meal so much easier. Without the ingredient list and directions, preparing a new food can be hit or miss.
Life can be like that, too. Having a recipe for objectives like losing weight or improving your finances can make those goals easier to achieve.
When it comes to your financial well-being, you need multiple ingredients to make the feast possible. Leave out even one element - like
identity theft protection
- and the whole effort can end in disaster. If improving your money management skills is on your to-do list this summer, try this helpful recipe for financial success:
1 budget, carefully calculated and strictly followed
1 credit report, reviewed regularly
1 emergency fund
1 retirement savings account (or more, depending on your taste)
Debt reduction steps, as needed
1 batch of identity theft protection measures
1. Prepare a budget. Gather a month's worth of paystubs (so you have an exact figure of your disposable income) and all the bills you must pay every month. Don't forget to include bills that are paid less frequently, such as car or renter's insurance. And, be sure to include a deposit to your savings account in the "must-pay" stack of bills. You can find budget worksheets online through sites like
2. Review your credit report and learn your credit score. Check your report for errors, and to better understand what credit management practices are working for you, and where you may be able to improve.
3. Create an emergency fund. Whether it's a significant car repair, dental work not covered by your insurance, or the need for last-minute travel to care for a sick parent or child, emergency expenses happen. Traditional advice was to set aside enough cash to cover three to six months worth of expenses, but given the economy and continued high unemployment, it may make sense for you to set aside enough for six to nine months.
4. Create and contribute to a retirement fund. Take advantage of employer-sponsored options like a 401(k). Depending on your income level and tax bracket, you can research other opportunities like an individual retirement account (IRA) or a Roth IRA. Remember, don't rely on Social Security alone to support you through retirement. The website MyMoney.gov offers advice on saving for retirement.
5. Take steps to reduce debt. Pay down high-interest debts, like credit cards, first. High debt not only hinders your ability to meet your financial commitments and set aside savings, it can adversely affect your credit score, too.
6. Take steps to protect your identity. The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that about 8.6 million households had at least one person 12 or older who experienced identity theft in 2010, the most recent year for which figures were available. Protecting your personal identifying and financial information from misuse by criminals is a key ingredient in your recipe for financial success. Products like
offer comprehensive identity theft detection, protection and resolution, and can help you catch and resolve instances of identity theft. Don't just rely on a product, however. Practice smart identity theft prevention tactics, including creating strong passwords for all your financial accounts and changing them frequently, shredding documents that contain identifying information before disposal, and using a credit card, rather than a debit card, for online shopping. You can find comprehensive identity theft prevention information at www.itrc.org, the website of the Identity Theft Resource Center.

In a murder trial, the defense attorney was cross-examining the coroner:
"Before you signed the death certificate, did you take the pulse, listen to the heart or check for breathing?"
"So, when you signed the death certificate, you weren't sure the man was dead, were you?"
"Well, the man's brain was in a jar on my desk, but I suppose he could have still been practicing law for a living."

Naperville Central's Shannon Ryan is fouled as she drives to the basket between three Oswego defenders on Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012. | Donnell Collins~For Sun-Times Media
Naperville Central's girls basketball team came into Thursday's Oswego Holiday Classic game against the host Panthers knowing a win would ensure a showdown with unbeaten and No. 15-ranked Neuqua Valley for the tournament title Saturday.
The No. 17 Redhawks showed how much they want that challenge.
Naperville Central never trailed and cruised to a 64-36 win to set up Saturday's 6 p.m. showdown with Neuqua Valley (14-0). The Redhawks enter the game with an 11-1 mark, the lone blemish a narrow loss to Wheaton Warrenville South.
"We wanted to win this game so we could play Saturday's game," Naperville Central senior Jamie Cuny said. "That's a big game for us. Neuqua is a great team. Last year we lost to them in a tough one. It's going to be a really good game and we're really excited for it. It will be fun."
Oswego (7-5) hung around early, tying the game at 8-8 in the first quarter and cutting the lead to 16-13 on four Krissy Klingbeil free throws early in the second quarter. But a pair of Cuny jumpers fueled a 7-0 run that pushed the lead back out to 23-12 for the Redhawks. A 12-3 run in the third was keyed by two driving layups and a three-pointer from Cuny that pushed the lead to 38-22.
Cuny led all scorers with 18 points, shooting 8-of-12 from the field.
"I took it to the basket a lot, which I'm not normally doing," Cuny said. "I just felt it, so I took it. I was hitting them, so I kept doing it."
Oswego hit only four field goals in the first half and shot 10-of-36 from the field.
"We're pretty disappointed because we've been playing a lot better up to this point," Oswego coach Chad Pohlmann said. "The girls have to understand that the process of getting ready to play doesn't just happen when the ball goes up in the air. I didn't think we came out ready to play. We were tentative."
Oswego faces Batavia in the third-place game at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday. Jordan Campbell led the Panthers with 12 points in the loss. Erin Sinnott added 10. Cierra Stanciel scored 14 for Central, with Shannon Ryan adding 10.
The Redhawks now prepare for one of their toughest challenges of the season.
"(Neuqua coach Mike Williams) is running the system that he's run for years, but he's got some really nice tools to work with," Central coach Andy Nussbaum said. "They're putting the ball in the basket a little more often. They're a very good team. Should be a great game."

4.35/5 rDev +8.5%
POured from 750ml bottle corked and caged bottle( Thanks mreusch) into a New Belgium snifter. Poured a hazy golden yellow color with a thick white sticky head. Smell is lemon zest with a slight medicinal and floral aspect and little yeasty feel. Taste is more citrus with a light ether earth feel, also picked out some spice. Real light body with a dry clean aftertaste, the carbonation is fairly moderate. Really easy drinking beer that is easy to pair with food and the hot summer weather.

Hazy gold-orange with a pillowy white head.
Yeasty nose with orange, banana, and rose petals. Clean, bold, and distinct.
Earthy yeast with a nice hint of funk on the palate. It has a solid pale malt character with a peppery hop finish. I wouldn't mind if it were a bit drier for this style.
It's a shame this is being discontinued, though you can't deny Tank 7.

Poured from a corked and caged 750ml bottle into a Delirium tulip. Batch number S8317
A. nice medium golden hazy color. Poured rather vigorously to create a nice pillowly white head that dissipated into a small layer of bubbles that lasted throughout the glass.
S. Smells Belgian. Not as spicy or funky as other saisons I've had but not off putting in the least.
T. Smooth upfront and easy drinking with the trademark spicy aftertaste on the front middle of the tongue that lingers. It is pleasant and not hit you in the face.
M. Dry and goes down very easily. The high carbonation level gives a good bite until the spicy aftertaste hit you.
D. A great entry level saison that is neither boring nor mind blowing. After having the Brett-Saison that is way more funkier, I don't see why this should be a Smokestack beer. There is nothing wrong with it but I think this would work nicely as a regular offering from Boulevard rather than a Smokestack. If given the choice between the this and the Brett version go Brett.

4.75/5 rDev +18.5%
I could drink this beer by the gallon, everyday...
The appearance is average, pale gold and cloudy, with yeast, I guess, floating within. The smell is similar to every saison I've ever had. The taste, however, is beyond good, with some grassiness and lemon and a very slight tartness (perfection), as is the mouthfeel, creamy with just the right amount of carbonation.
This is a beer that, when I'm drinking it, I forget about whatever else I'm doing (reading that book, listening to that song, watching that TV show), no matter how much I may love any of them, this beer just overwhelms everything else until I drain the bottle (I logged on to BA, which I haven't done in a while, just to review this beer, which is also something I haven't done in a very long time). It's that good.

750ml bottle with caged cork seal.
Pours a hazy gold with 2 fingers of pillowy head. Nicely carbonated.
Smells of slight spice and citrus greet the nose. Nice musty and funk undertone.
Tastes quite bitter - more than expected. Peppery finish lingers after sipping. Nice base of farmhouse-type funk holds up the citrusy, peppery flavor.
Soft mouthfeel up-front with crisp finish after swallowing. Funk and citrus lingers.
Very drinkable - nice refreshing beer.

4.03/5 rDev +0.5%
Large bottle, caged and corked, the rear label lets me know the Batch Number( does this really help the consumer?) but there is no freshness info offered...pours slightly hazed, yellowy, with bubbles rising, the off white head is initially quite impressive, and shows nice retnetion including merainge, then fading to ta thick loose film and leaving quite nice lace on the glass. Light pepper, flowers and fruit in the nose. Quite tasty saison, with notes of lemon/lime, pepper, more ropical fruits and belgian yeast notes in the finish. As it warms up the mouthfeel really comes around in all its tasty saison goodness. Nicely done, more respectable Smokestack series offerings from Boulevard. If I could get em locally, they would be on my regular play list.

Pours a hazy golden straw color with a large white head. The aroma is a mix of yeast with some citrus, mainly oranges and lemons. The flavor is similar with a slight funk mixed in with the citrus and yeast. Dry finish. Thin body and medium carbonation.

Pours light gold with a bit of haze and a big white head. Yeasty banana, clove, coriander, and bread in the aroma. Spicier than the nose advertises; pepper and citrus flavors all over the place. Some apple tartness, but this is driven home by an unexpected over-the-top carbonation. Fruity and spicy, just a bit out of whack.

Thanks, whartontallboy!
(Aged 4+ years)
Hazed, pretty, dark orange. Moderately-sized bone-white head. Lined, irregular lacing left down the glass. Very pretty saison. Nothing to complain about here.
Very standard, but exceptionally well done aroma for a saison. Dried grass and just a bit of lemon peel character combine nicely with grain and earth.
Moderate bitterness, dried grasses, some faded but present lemon and citrus notes, along with traditional, bready grains. It all comes together nicely. This is marvelously drinkable.
Medium bodied with near-high carbonation.
Fantastic. Excellent with food or on its own.

Thanks to thedominator for the nice extra in our recent trade!
Served cool into my Watou glass, Boulevard's Saison has a hazy golden yellow-orange color with thin, short-lived head.
Aroma is mild but pleasant with light tropical fruit, faint lemon citrus, and some spice.
The same can be said of the flavor. It's not nearly as potent as their Saison Brett but it's still a good version of the style. The fruit basket thing comes through here too but the pepper is more pronounced in the flavor than the nose.
Mouthfeel is medium-light in body with lower than average carbonation for a saison, which I enjoy. It has some good sweetness but finishes pretty dry. It's relatively low in alcohol which makes it very easy-drinking, especially on a warm summer day like today.
Overall a really nice saison. It makes me wonder why it's now retired.

3.95/5 rDev -1.5%
Big thanks to Jw347 for sending this one my way in a box from the gods.
Pours a nice slightly cloudy yellowy/light orange color with a stark white head that retains pretty well. Big bubbles. Leaves good lacing.
Nose is a bit dull, but not bad. Some slight funk, mostly belgian yeast, a bit of a soapy kind of sugar in the nose too. Some spice.
Taste is pretty good. Belgian yeast and grain with a good light fruit flavor. More of a mushy kind of light fruit profile. The spice is more subdued in the taste than the nose implied. A good dry finish, but could be much drier.
Mouthfeel is akwardly undercarbonated here, kind of slick in the mouth. Not bad, but just not quite right.
Drinkability is solid, but this one is a low abv brew. I wish it was a touch more carbonated.
Overall a good offering, but there are better saisons out there for sure. Certainly an enjoyable brew, and not a bad shot at the style, just nothing amazing. It needs a little more carbonation, some more funky barnyardy action, and a bit more dryness on the finish. As I said though, an enjoyable brew.

4.4/5 rDev +9.7%
Batch Number S8228.
It pours to a misty saffron topped with a thick, stick puff of bone colored suds.
It noses of lemon poppyseed muffins, hay, cereal, apricots, and grapefruit. There is definitely an American edge to the hopping.
It begins in the mouth with a parched notion of soup crackers and hay. It sweetens- just a touch at first- with flaked maize and rock candy. It grows gradually fruitier, with a prolonged stop at lemon. Around this time, the yeast adds subtle phenols of peppercorn and sage. Hops come in assertively, toting dry grassiness, juicier pineapple and apricots, and a drop of wintergreen oiliness. Most of the complexity is hop-derived.
Medium bodied with a tautness that is partially belied by the steady, moderate carbonation. The texture is fleecy and rich, yet the brisk hops closure demands additional sips.
This is one of, if not THE best American Saisons I've had. And it is certainly American in nature.

Fresh bottle brought by the brewery to Cole's, on the way to Cooperstown. Above average carbonation, certainly the Brett gives the base an added dimension of drinkability. A very good example of an American style saison, bolder spice taste.A but drying in the finish.

4.18/5 rDev +4.2%
Obtained in trade from JosephLondon (thanks!). Poured from a 750mL bottle into my Troubadour tulip glass. Smokestack Series #4, batch "S8228."
Lightly hazy amber liquid with bright golden highlights. Off-white, very tall (settling to three fingers), rocky merengue-like head with puffy aerated lacing.
Slightly grainy aroma; wheat, corn, and hay with lots of citrus (Amarillo hops?) and a bit of pleasant funk. Hints of cotton candy and coconut. Very simple, but pleasant.
Lemon, lime, and a tropical fruit - papaya or pineapple (as suggested by the brewer's notes) - and quenching light malt on the palate, with notes of pepper, sourdough, and moderate hops coming later. Nice dry finish.
Mouthfeel is creamy but still fairly light-bodied, and offers excellent effervescence combined with a lush acidity.
This is one of the most balanced domestic saisons I've had, but it seems to be missing a bit of "barnyard" complexity displayed by the best Belgian versions. Looking forward to trying Saison-Brett for comparison.

A - Murky lemon yellow with a giant crisp white head. The head looks really nice and shows excellent retention, and tons of really crusty lace sticks to the glass. This one almost seems to glow from within the depths of it's murky sunshine hue. Good lookin' brew.
S - Sharp lemon twang and yeasty funk hit the nose right off the bat. This is lemony almost to the point of witbier territory, and I can appreciate some level of spice too. There are some really peppery and spicy hops in the nose that make this more complex as it warms up a bit.
T - Nice crusty bread malt flavors and tangy hops make this an extremely fresh tasting brew. Vanilla, lemon chiffon, lemon rind, nutmeg, and white pepper make up the flavor profile.
M - On the lighter side of medium bodied, the carbonation makes this seem almost fluffy in the mouth. Crisp and clean with a tart but neutral finish. This is the textbook definition of fresh and clean. Like crisp linen that has been hung out to dry on a fine spring day.
D - Killer. Saisons are always eminently drinkable, and this one doesn't disappoint. Chad and I took out this 750ml bottle far too quickly, but since it was midnight, rainy, and I was on the scooter we passed on a second bottle. I've only had two or three saisons, and while this isn't up to the level of the amazing Saison DuPont, it is a damn fine beer in it's own right.

Beautiful labels, with an impressionist style painting which looks very rustic, and inviting. The bottle reads batch number S8228, which doesn't help me much, as I couldn't find anywhere on their website to get information about my bottle. At any rate, the review:
A: Sunny, golden color, topped by a long lasting foamy white head. Steady streams of carbonation ascend.
S: Yeasty, peppery, and peach in the nose.
T: Pepper spiciness, yeasty earthiness, and a semi-sweet fruitiness that I can't identify. It's not the peach from the nose, but that's about all I can say. I'm still getting acquainted with the Saison style, and I have had a somewhat difficult time identifying some of the more subtle flavors. I do know that I quite like the style, and furthermore, I really like this example.
M: Medium bodied, with a high level of carbonation. A somewhat dry finish. Very refreshing.
D: Quite high level of drinkability for me. The low alcohol level, combined with what I imagine to be a fantastic pairing with food, make this an ideal beer for me to keep in my rotation. As the first Boulevard offering I've sampled, this has impressed me, and I will assuredly try more of their beer, Smokestack Series, and otherwise.
Thank you for coming to Wisconsin, Boulevard. You will be appreciated here!

Batch #S7332. Poured from a longstanding bottle that sat for at least three months, the yeast was nicely settled and the initial glass was crystal clear. I could see my fingerprints through the wide tulip glass! A second pour was only a touch more hazy, and it wasn't until almost the end of the third pour that the lees were disturbed. That was totally acceptable as well, and upon tasting it, the yeast seems to help soften the spiciness a bit, so don't worry if you pick up a bottle and can't wait to dig in.
The body was a golden-brass with an orange cast. Tiny effervescent bubbles raced towards the surface. The frothy white head slowly settled to a short, densely creamy cap, and then eventually eroded to a thin lid midway through the glass, leaving behind it massive walls of sticky lace.
The aroma is peppery, spicy, yeasty, clove-like, and sweetish.
In the mouth it's medium-full in body, and the natural carbonation leaves it initially delicately zesty, but then it warms immediately to become cottony soft and smooth.
The flavor is as the aroma suggests, with it's peppery spice and clove swirling within a straightforwardly grainy, sweetish malt that's backed by a bracing bitterness. Candy notes (sugar, clove, vanilla) are present as well, and there's some apple and banana on the tip of the tongue. Maybe even some pear. As might be expected, it finishes dry and spicy with a quick spritz of alcohol, and lingers with dull residual bitterness and spice. As it warms it becomes more complex, and exhibits notes of honey, chalky citrus rind, ginger, and some mineralish/earthy notes.
Overall it's a pretty solid saison. Two thumbs up. I'd like to see more fruitiness to it, and perhaps a little bit less pepper, but that goes to personal taste (and yeast choice). And I can't argue with the balance. It's quite drinkable!

Poured from the corked 750ml bottle into a Duvel tulip glass. Body is straw-colored and just a touch cloudy, with a nice, light carbonation rising from the bottom. A couple of fingers worth of creamy, bright white head that could hold a matchstick even ten minutes after the pour.
Aroma of light, sweet malt, a whiff of coriander and green apple, and a very mild mineral character from the yeast. Palate is delicate, with lightly sweet, bready malt accented by a touch of candi sugar up front. Notes of green apple and light coriander spice lead into a mildly bitter finish with a good dose of citrus hops.
Body is light and creamy, very well carbonated. Finish is a little dry and just a bit chalky. This is a highly drinkable beer, nice and light on the palate and easy on the finish. While not as complex as most true Belgian saisons, this is a good American interpretation of the style.

Thanks to JosephLondon for the bottle. I'm very appreciative of the bottle since it's now retired. I had no idea.
Saison pours a light gold color. It's very hazy, and looks straw and yellowish when held to light. A soft, white head sits on top. It easily rises to two fingers in depth. Retention was on the shorter side. Lacing was sticky, and a little heavier than expected.
The nose is quite good. It's very earthy, and a little grainy. There's a bit of a musky scent, but there's no hint of Brett in this release. Lemon is nice and strong. It adds a very refreshing vibe to the overall smell. I like that. Hops are relatively strong. Wasn't expecting that, but I like it. I don't know what variation they are, but they smell like some form of noble hops. Alcohol is buried. Nicely done.
The flavor is impressive, as well. It's a little sweet and fruity up front. Lemon seems to be the primary focus. It's earthy throughout, with a strong, grainy presence. I'm not getting much musk here, and definitely no funk. Yeast is much more noticeable here. It does have a nice Belgian flavor. Hops add much to the mix. They're definitely a noble hop. Not sure which one. They liven up the flavor a lot. Clove and pepper spices round out the flavor. Alcohol is not noticeable. It finishes crisp and very refreshing.
Saison has a light body that leans medium. It's nice and smooth, but would improve if it were more substantial. Drinkability is very high. The flavor is good and it goes down super easy. I like how crisp it is. This would be fantastic on a hot day.
It's a shame that Boulevard is no longer brewing Saison. This is impressive stuff, and is certainly a positive in the Smokestack Series. It's not quite as refined as some of the best Saisons out there, but it's a very impressive American release. Very few non-Belgian Saisons are this good. If you run across a bottle out there somewhere, definitely pick it up.

Found this one in the good 'ol Springfield, IL. Nice looking 750 ml bottle, corked and everything. Apparently, this particular one was part of batch # S8093. Here's hoping...
A: Nice hazy, almost straw color. A little bit of yeast, but certainly not opaque.
S: Light, bready yeast, as well as citrus and spice. Orange, faint lemons, coriander, just a touch of clove for good measure. Wonderful aromas.
T: Full flavored. The same spices and fruits as before, as well as a bit of peppery pineapple. Some wheat malt and yeast also present. Great range of flavors yet still quite subtle. Very nice indeed.
M: Nice and light, yet silky smooth. Fantastic malt backbone with just enough hops to wash it down nice and clean, with a sweet, almost medicinal and yeasty aftertaste. Pleasant, but was not expecting it to linger as long as it did.
D: Nice and smooth, leaves me wanting another sip. Need I say more?
An absolutely fantastic offering from Boulevard! It's nice to see a Midwestern brewery tackle an (in America) up and coming style. This is my first sampling of the Smokestack series, and I can't wait to try the next one. Will definitely be buying this again. Bravo!

Picked up a 750ml from Princeton Liquors for $9. Split it with friends on a sunny afternoon and couldn't think of many beers that would have been better. It poured with a large white head of tiny bubbles and had great retention. The body was light and very drinkable, while the flavor remained complex. There was a delicious peppery citrus finishing hop, while mild vanilla, toasted French bread, and orange juice took over the flavor. A little more spice came out in the aroma, leaving no doubt this was a fine Belgian ale. My hat is off to Boulevard on this beer.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — Museum-goers took advantage of the annual Museum Days on Saturday with free access to the wealth of historical information at local museums.
Ava Jimemez of Chazy said she has lived in the area for a while but doesn't know too much about the local history.
She recently visited the North Star Underground Railroad Museum in AuSable Chasm and said she plans on visiting many of the North Country's museums.
Belinda Buckhart of Plattsburgh brought her grandson, Jordan Oliver, 6, to the War of 1812 Museum.
This was their third year attending Museum Days.
"He learns a little more every year," Buckhart said.
By about 3 p.m., 213 people had visited Champlain Valley Transportation Museum and Kids' Station.
Several families chose to spend the day museum-hopping with their children.
Jesse LaVarnway and Riley Rock of Plattsburgh brought their son, Aden LaVarnway, 8, to the War of 1812 Museum and the Champlain Valley Transportation Museum and Kids' Station.
LaVarnway said he and Rock agree that it's important that their son learn about the history of the area.
Jesse is a history enthusiast. He and Rock have toured Tahawus, an abandoned mining town near Newcomb, N.Y.
"We do some urban exploration — some historical sites," Rock said.
The Transportation Museum features a 1931 America LaFrance Fire Truck. The fire truck display was of special interest to Aden, his father said.
"They had buckets of water for the first one (truck) because they didn't invent the hose (yet)," Aden said.
His favorite exhibit, though, was the lego robots, he said.
Like Aden, David Griffin, had visited local museums during Museum Days on other years.
"I learned where the battles zones were" at the War of 1812 Museum, Griffin said. "The coolest thing about that place was seeing a cannon fire."
Volunteers were intermittently firing an unloaded cannon for museum-goers on the lawn of the War of 1812 museum.
"At the other building over there, me and my sister were pretending to drive an airplane. It was awesome," Griffin said, as he colored a picture at the Kids' Station inside the Pre-War Car building.
"Here, I've been learning (about) a lot of new cars I've never seen before," Griffin said.
Griffin's mother, Pamela Griffin, of Churubusco, said her son had been leaning about local history in school, and going to Museum Days was a good activity to supplement that part of his education.
"We talk about that these things actually happened; how different it was back then," Pamela said.
David learned that if he had lived in the early 1800s, he would likely be an apprentice rather than a student, his mother said.
"You had a lot of work," David said of children living in those days.
Wayne Williams, who grew up on Sailly Avenue in Plattsburgh, said he values historical information about the area in which he was raised.
"Plattsburgh had a lot of things that people have forgotten about that we just don't see anymore," he said, referring to old photographs of Margaret Street in the City of Plattsburgh and what is now the Plattsburgh Amtrak Station.
"Can you imagine being in Plattsburgh when trolleys were going down the streets?" Williams said.
Adults and children alike seemed to be enjoying themselves.
"It's really fun here," David said.
Museum Days, with free admission at 16 area museums and galleries, runs today 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, including a list of participating museums, visit www.adkcoastcultural.org/museum-days.html.

|On the Banks of Yesteryear — The ice man
|Friday, July 12, 2013 11:42 PM
It wasn't always that easy. While the canal was originally built as a mode of transportation, it was also used for the harvesting of ice in the cold winter months. The ice was cut from the frozen canal and then stored in ice houses with sawdust used for packing and insulating. By the turn of the century, however, man-made ice had become available from ice-making plants such as the Steinle Brewery Company. At first this company only made ice for their own use, not for home delivery, but an ad in a May 4, 1905, Delphos Herald lists L.T. Eger selling "Crystal Ice."
Steinle began home delivery in 1920 when Prohibition put an end to the brewery business. As can be seen in the picture of the delivery wagons, the biggest advantage of man-made ice was its purity. Can you imagine drinking a glass of water containing ice made from canal water? And notice the word "distilled." Impurities in the water froze at a slower rate than the water so the iceman would remove the water in the center just before it froze and replace it with distilled water, making the ice cleaner than the water used to produce it.
As with milk wagons, horses were used to pull the ice wagon and were used long after automobiles and trucks were available to do the job. The horses learned the delivery routes so well the iceman could stay in the back of the wagon and hop out when the horse stopped at the next location. The iceman would look for the homeowner's card in the window showing how many pounds of ice were needed that day; and with his ice pick, chop off the desired amount of ice, normally 25, 50, 75 or 100 pounds. Using ice tongs, he would hoist the block onto his back and carry the ice to the house and put it in an icebox. Ice wagons were the delight of children who hoped the iceman would toss them a small piece of ice to suck on.
Bob Lause remembers:
"My father, Leonard Lause and his brother Clarence, both worked for the Steinle Brewery Works in the early 1940s. I remember one trip with my dad to deliver ice to the north end railroad yards, to deliver ice to box cars and leave blocks of ice in a wood box beside the roundhouse for the crews to chip ice for their water jugs. Dad would carry blocks of ice (50 pounds) I guess, up the ladder on each end of the box cars and drop the ice in a hatch in the opposite diagonal corner of each car, to cool the food in the cars as the train traveled down the railroad. The cars had hatches open that scooped air in for the direction they were traveling. Dad had a holster on his belt for his ice pick and handled that pick like it was a part of him."
As with many things, the era of the iceman came to an end and is now just another piece of nostalgia. But that's why we have museums. To preserve the past for the next generation and fondly remember what it was like "in the good old days."
The Canal Commission museum is open from 8 a.m. to noon every Thursday and Saturday; 1-3 p.m. on Sundays; or by appointment.

Land the Tech Job You Love
Published by: The Pragmatic Bookshelf
Reviewer RatingsRelevance:
Buy it now
One Minute Bottom Line
|Take it straight from a hiring manager's mouth: Go get this book and do what it says! You might say, "But I already have a tech job that I love." My answer: You'll need another job one day. Go get this book and do what it says!
ReviewA little over a year ago, I ventured into the world of software development management, and at the time I inherited a team having a few open positions. Previously I had been involved in numerous interview teams for developers wishing to join our team in various capacities. At one point I was even able to say that I had personally interviewed every member of my team, including my boss! As one who has personally been a part of (according to my rough estimation) close to 100 interview teams, I can safely make two assertions:
1) Less than 5% of software developers that I have encountered have put any of the concepts in Andy Lester's book into practice;
2) Of those who did, all of them either landed the job or declined an offer!
I could probably just end the book review right now. It's hard to argue with results. However, I certainly don't feel like I've done the book justice yet, so I'll continue.
Andy's target is the technical professional "unhappy with his or her career or working to move to a better place." At the outset he acknowledges that he doesn't necessarily know your specific situation or that of the company for which you're interested in working. However, after talking with many folks in exactly this state of flux, he's found that the ideas and principles undergirding this book seem to be universal. At the very least, applying them is more likely to get you the job you love than not applying them.
Like any good author, Andy begins with basic principles. Consider these the "Seven Habits of the Successful Job Search," each of which is expanded upon in great detail throughout the book. He follows this section up with a chapter that asks a very probing question, one you should never begin a job search without asking: "What Do You Want in a Job?" These two chapters form an incredible foundation for the rest of the book. The first sets the tone - that your job search is less about you doing this or that and more about you BEING the ideal employee that I, as hiring manager, am looking for. Chapter two is the yang to chapter one's yin - if you're going to be that ideal employee, make sure you're the ideal employee for the right job.
Chapters three and four are alone worth the price of admission. They surround what Andy describes as "your first work product for your new company," otherwise known as your resume. Over the course of my career I've probably scanned hundreds of resumes, and rarely have I seen one that made my job easy. Why should I hire you? Why should I print your resume rather than dragging it to the recycle bin? What value are you going to bring to my company? Andy walks you through how to answer these questions. Chapter three focuses on the content of your resume and chapter four focuses on the presentation. Send me a resume guided by Andy's principles and I'll guarantee you at least one foot in the door.
You'll find plenty more gold nuggets as Andy rounds out part one of his book by guiding you through your job search and the application process. And now, the moment we've all been waiting for - I want YOU to come in for an interview. Do you want to nail it? Do you want to make it nearly impossible for me to not jump up and cheer? (SIDEBAR: I have a confession to make. I really don't like recruiting. And I REALLY don't like interviewing. Why? Because the vast majority of candidates that I've seen across the interview table are drastically unprepared. I remember especially grueling seasons of recruiting during which most of the interviews really should have ended after less than five minutes.) Then be the candidate that I often daydreamed about. I remember imagining the candidate that would walk in and energize the room by her very presence. I remember his technical proficiency, her problem solving skills, his impressive work portfolio (most don't even bring one!). Chapters seven through eleven tell you how to be that candidate. From interview preparation, to crafting your work portfolio, to crafting prepared answers to difficult questions, to treating everyone like the CEO, Andy shows you how to be the uberinterviewee.
So now you've nailed the interview and you're waiting. You're asked for references - Andy tells you what to do. The phone rings - there's an offer on the table. How do you negotiate? When should you accept? How do you leave your present company? Andy answers all of these questions and then some. Closing out this section of the book, Andy tackles a topic that you don't find in too many job search books: how to handle rejection. It's an important topic to tackle because unfortunately, even if you implement all of Andy's advice, it will still happen. And if you and your prospective employer aren't an incredible fit for one another, you should be glad when it does.
In his final words, Andy addresses those who already have the tech job that they love by admonishing them to stay hirable. He briefly walks down the road that Chad Fowler traveled in The Passionate Programmer and Jared Richardson navigated in Career 2.0. Andy's unique contributions include his advice to use your resume as a tracking tool for self-improvement and assessing yourself by always looking for your next job.
What's incredibly refreshing throughout is that Andy doesn't pretend to have all of the answers. At the outset he tells you to consider his advice, and that of other job search texts, and to take what makes sense for your situation. He's incredibly humble, and yet he speaks with the authority of one who has been down the road that you're traveling and has arrived at his destination successfully. He speaks as a mentor, gently guiding you through the entire job search process from figuring out what you want in a job all the way to getting that job.
To summarize, my job as a hiring manager is hard, but for the wrong reasons. These days I have to uncover the talent. It's usually hidden behind a poor resume or a nervous interviewee. They don't teach these skills in any computer science program or trade school with which I'm familiar - up until this point you could plead ignorance. Now you're on the hook. Make my job hard for the right reason - showcase your talent and tell me how you can help me by reading and applying Andy Lester's book. I'd much rather have a hard time choosing than a hard time finding someone worthy of it. I can't tell you if Andy's advice will work for you. However, from where I sit as a hiring manager, I can make one definite statement: if you apply the techniques in this book, it will absolutely set you apart from 99% of the prospective candidates that cross my desk. That alone is worth the effort. In today's employment climate, anything that can set you apart as a better value add than the next guy is worth its weight in gold.

You are a lucky guy. This is one thing that might even be better for a man than the outside of a Cub.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Bud, I don't know how I missed these before but those are great pictures. Have you shown him his cub yet?
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Mike....you may be right Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Bigdog....These are the first pictures I have posted of Landon. He has not seen his cub, yet. He is too busy eating and sleeping. His sister has told him about it. Happy Thanksgiving.

Have a Great Thanks Giving
Thanks, Donny. Kelsie is very proud.
Landon sleeps while i'm trying to eat and eats when i'm trying to sleep. I still love him.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too.

Congratulations !!!!! When was this little fella born? That first picture really reminds me of a picture we have just a few years ago, when my oldest son was holding his new born baby brother in the hospital, and how happy he was to have a baby brother.
Ryan (now twelve) and Trevor (now eight) WELL what can I say? They fight like cats and dogs and call each other names, you name it. OMG, everyday, it's something new and different.
MAYBE with a girl and a boy, it will be different for you. GOOD LUCK!
Anyhow, couple of really sweet cute kids you and your wife have there. Landon, I really like that name, what a good choice. I wished we had thought of that, when ours were born.
Enjoy them (as I'm sure you both do) they grow just to fast.
Again congratulations to you and your wife,
John Niekamp
In my opinion, you're going through some of the best times of your life.
Spend as much time as possible with Kelsie and Landon and take lots of pictures. A few short years from now (as I found out) they will be grown and have a life of their own.
You have some beautiful children.
Jack Fowler
I'm really good at doing nothing…With that said…I'm really, really good at doing nothing
Thanks, John. Landon was born November 5. 6 lbs.>>19" long. Kacy took him for his first check-up yesterday. He has gained a pound and a half and grown an inch.
Thanks, Jack. I enjoy them both very much. I'll watch them grow every inch.
Happy Thanksgiving to you both.

Naw, it's not different, believe me, I know. When they get in their middle to late teens, you notice the squablling has abated some, only to realize it's because they are plotting against you. It does get better as they get out of school and start college though.

Oh thrill! John *.?-!.* cub owner, I can hardly wait. I always thought having our boys 4 years apart, it would be better, but a friend at work had two boys too. They are 13 years apart and they get along about like mine do.
Oh well, at least that means they are healthy, so one needs to count their blessings.
Happy Thanksgiving, sounds like all of us has something to be thankful for.

(MyFoxBoston.com) – Kids see plows and snow and embrace snow days; however, some schools are pulling the plug on school vacations due to the high amount of cancellations.
Tom Scott, the Executive Dir. for the Mass. Association of School Superintendents, says school makeup days are plowing into students' summers and administrators are trying to find a way to shovel up the mess.
"The trend right now is using conference days or work days," Scott told FOX 25's Jarrod Holbrook.
School districts statewide are also considering cutting holidays for makeup days.
Brockton Public Schools will be in session for half of this coming Good Friday, a day they normally have off.
Administrators tell FOX 25 if it's a religious holiday for the family it will be an excused absence.
Districts like Taunton are already thinking about next year's winter. Most parent support the idea.
"I think the only alternative we have is to back the school year up. I think going late into June is not a good option because it's warmer. Our schools are not equipped for air conditioning and other arrangements to make it comfortable for learning. So I think we're really having to look at starting school earlier," Scott said.

Cabin was handicapp accessible so larger size. But cabin lighting is awful and in this cabin- not even lights by the bed! Room stewards great and cabin was at least clean. Other than that nothing special.
Food in main dining rooms not good first 4 nights- improved after that and even plate presentations got better. Wait staff about the same as on other cruise lines that offer anytime dining- pleasant but nothing exceptional. Were surprised that most evenings we had to ask for bar service in the dining rooms! Did not think prices for wine or bar selections to be high.
Forget guest relations- couldn't get a straight answer and a few blatant lies. So the poor customer service prior to cruise just morphed into the same onboard.
Seemed to be LOTS of smokers onboard- and not too many non smoking areas.
Oh well- at least we weren't home shoveling snow!!

By John Martino
Outdoors columnist
— At a recent gather-ing of outdoor writers from across Indiana the subject of this year's unusual weather and how it impacted fishing and hunting activities came up. Following several of those discussions, it seemed talks moved on to this spring's high number of ticks.
"They are as thick as I've ever seen them," said Don Cranfil of Bloomington.
"I noticed a lot of them too while turkey hunting," added Bill Keaton.
With last winter's exceptionally mild weather and our extremely early spring, tick numbers appear to be higher than ever.
As spring moves to summer, many of us are going to spend a lot of time outdoors, and we should. Whether we are fishing, hiking or just playing in the yard with our children, summertime is meant for us to be outside. I have several friends who have already begun hanging new tree stands for the upcoming fall deer hunting season.
As we enjoy the outdoors during this time of year, we should be aware of ticks, but at the same time not let them deter us from the activities we enjoy.
Each year there are isolated cases of Lyme disease diagnosed in Indiana. This serious, infectious illness is transmitted to humans through bacteria from the bite of infected deer ticks. Unfortunately, our state lies right in the middle of some of the highest concentrations in the country.
Lyme disease often manifests itself with a characteristic round rash around the bite. This may be accompanied by fever, headache, fatigue and joint pain. Symptoms usually show up one to two weeks after a bite. It's always good to see a doctor if these symptoms occur. Lyme disease can be successfully treated, but is often overlooked or misdiagnosed. Be sure to let the doctor know you have been exposed to ticks.
There are many wive's tales and myths concerning the removal of these eight-legged pests. The bottom line is if you do find a tick that has become attached, just grab it behind the head with a pair of tweezers and apply steady backward pressure until you pull it out. Sure, it always better to remove the entire tick, but don't be overly concerned if some of the head remains. The harmful bacteria comes from the tick's abdomen, not the head.
There is another method of removal that is gaining wide-spread acceptance, especially in those places where they're difficult to remove with tweezers, like between the toes or in the middle of a thick, head full of hair. Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball. Cover the tick with the soap-soaked cotton ball and swab it for 15-20 seconds. In most cases, the tick will come out on its own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away.
Being aware goes a long way in enjoying our natural resources while at the same time ensuring your adventures remain safe. Ticks find their host by "questing." They perch on low-growing grasses, weeds and shrubs with their two front legs outstretched lying in wait for their host.
When in the woods or tall grass, wear long pants and a shirt. Light-colored clothing, while not only being cooler, makes it easier to spot ticks that may get on your clothes. Wear a hat, too, as ticks can sometimes drop from trees and leaves. Shoes and socks also are important protection.
Most important is to wear a good quality insect repellent. 3M makes a great new product called Ultrathon (I personally like the lotion formula) that dispels many of the common chemical concerns to insect repellents of the past. Sawyer is another repellent (again, I prefer the lotion) that contains a controlled release DEET formula.
Time-release brands provide longer lasting protection. Both can add a layer of protection for up to 12 hours per application and is splash and sweat resistant.
Anytime you come out of areas that could be infested with these little blood-suckers, which could even be your backyard at this time of year, check your hair, clothes and skin. It usually takes at least 24 hours after a tick becomes attached to transfer the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. Even a quick, daily tick check at bath or shower time can be helpful in finding and removing these pests before they can transmit an infection.
By being aware and using common sense when it comes to these pesky insects, you will be able to enjoy another great summer season and not have a thing to worry about.
Tournament Results
The Kokomo Bass Anglers group held its first tournament of the season on Lake Manitou and it was one of its best ever. There were 19 members taking part in the contest who brought in a total 48 fish after the eight-hour long event.
Sam Taskey took first place with a five fish limit sporting a total weight of 10 pounds, 14 ounces. He also reaped the tourney's "big bass" honor with a largemouth missing the 4-pound mark by an ounce. Scott Vollmer finished in second place with five fish totaling 9 pounds, 4 ounces. Third place went to Wayne Eades with five fish dropping the scales at 8 pounds, 2 ounces.
Bob Rose and Wayne Nolder came out on top at last week's Delphi-Delco team bass tourney staged on Mississinewa Reservoir with five fish weighing 9 pounds, 10 ounces. A 2-pound, 8-ounce fish also earned them the tourney's "big bass" award. Larrell Norris and Dave Robertson grabbed second place with five fish totaling 9 pounds, 7 ounces.

Tonight we made pizza for dinner and I must say it was a lot of fun. I call this Hungry Man's Pizza because we put lots of ingredients on this pizza from bacon to capers and boy did it turn beautiful and so yum yum. I made the dough from scratch and the dough recipe that follows makes dough for 2 pizzas, so I only made one tonight and put the other half of the dough in the freezer to make at a later time. Now don't be afraid to make pizza dough, it's super easy.
I started out by pouring the yeast over a cup and a half o warm water.
In the mean time, I placed 4 cups of flour and a tsp of salt in the bowl of my mixer and mixed it a bit.
Next I added 1/3 cup of olive oil to the flour mixture.
Mix the oil and flour mixture for a minute or so then add the yeast water.
The dough should be elastic and should look like in the picture below:
Shape the dough in a ball.
Rub some olive oil all over the dough and place it in a bowl.
Place a plastic wrap over the dough and place in the fridge and let it rest.
While the pizza dough is resting in the fridge, I get the rest of the ingredients ready for the pizza. First I cut up some cherry tomatoes in halves.
So my husband did the shopping for this and I asked him to get some mushrooms for the pizza and he got shiitake mushrooms, so I've never made pizza with shiitake mushrooms but they were really really delicious on the pizza.
My favorite ingredient in this pizza, of course, is the bacon, doesn't it look yummy
Next come the olives. We love Kalamata olives and funny story here, my husband wanted to cut up the olives himself, because he didn't like the way I cut them last time. Now these olives have the pits in them, so you have to remove the pits and then slice them up, so a pretty tedious job. So my husband starts pitting the olives and slices them up, and sure enough after about 5 or 6 olives he's had enough so he decides to put the rest of the olives on the pizza as whole. Of course I didn't say anything.
Bacon gets chopped next…mmmm
We also put capers on this pizza.
Now the fun part begins. We assemble the pizza. But first I'm using this aluminum pizza pan so I put some olive oil on it so the pizza won't stick to the bottom.
Here's what the pizza dough looked like when I took it out of the fridge, it doubled in size, and this was only in less than half hour.
And now we had some fun stretching out the dough, you can also roll it with a rolling pin, or do it like the pros. I'm no pro, so I used a rolling pin. I also rubbed a bit more olive oil on the pizza….for flavor?
Spread your favorite pizza sauce on the pizza, or you could make your own, but I just used some stored bought pizza sauce.
Next spread the cheese, I'm just using plain mozzarella cheese here, so feel free to use as much as you want.
And here, my beautiful dog was smelling the bacon and she was trying to get up on the island to get closer to it and maybe, just maybe a piece would fall her way. Isn't she cute.
Anyway, after all the ingredients are on the pizza this is what my gorgeous pizza looked like..
To give you a better idea, here you go:
Yum, eh? And now….drum roll please…the final product….
And now for the recipe:
- 1 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 4 cups flour
- 1 package yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 2 tbsp capers
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 cup olives sliced
- Pour the yeast over the warm water in a small bowl. In the bowl of your mixer, add the flour and salt and mix. Add the olive oil and using the dough hook, mix for about a min.
- Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and mix until well incorporated. Shape the dough into a bowl and place in an oiled bowl, rubbing oil on the dough as well, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Fry the bacon on a plate with paper towels to soak up the fat. Slice up the tomatoes, mushrooms and olives.
- Preheat oven to 500 F degrees.
- Take the dough from the fridge and cut it in two pieces. Refrigerate half of the dough if you're only making one pizza. Roll out the pizza dough and place it on a oiled pizza pan, no need to oil the pan, if you're using a stone.
- Assemble the pizza, start with the pizza sauce, mozzarella then the rest of the ingredients.
- Bake the pizza for about 15 minutes or until done.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — About four dozen residents have been moved to temporary housing, and cleanup efforts are under way at an Indiana State University apartment complex, the site of an apartment fire Tuesday morning.
No one was injured in the fire, which occurred in a fourth-floor apartment on the south wing of Unit 4, located near First and Crawford streets across from Fairbanks Park and just off South Third Street.
As of Wednesday, ISU did not yet have a firm estimate on damages or cleanup costs, said Amanda Knerr, executive director of residential life. "We should be getting those in the next day or so."
EDS, an out-of-state firm which specializes in fire, smoke and water damage restoration, arrived Wednesday morning. "The entire crew arrived and began work by 10:30 or 11 a.m. They are already making great progress," Knerr said late in the afternoon.
ISU facilities staff members also were involved and worked to remove some of the water.
The fire was contained to the one apartment, which fire officials described as a total loss. Other apartments on the fourth and third floors had smoke and water damage.
The fire was accidental, according to Brett Doan, assistant chief with the Terre Haute Fire Department. Occupants of the apartment that caught fire had been burning incense in a small bedroom and were not home when the fire started.
About 48 residents — including students, families and partners — were temporarily relocated, Knerr said. All residents of the south wing were asked to move out.
While most of the damage occurred on the third and fourth floors, as a precaution, residents on the first and second floors also were temporarily relocated to air out the apartments and to assist with cleanup.
Families moved to other apartments in the same housing complex (no families were split up), while single students either relocated to other apartments or to residence halls on the main campus.

Series: The Biofuel Economy
Biofuel Economy, Part I: Biodiesel
Sep 19, 2006 — Biofuel. You hear a lot about it these days. And how the growing industry means new opportunities for farmers and foresters and other businesses in the North Country. Over the next few days we're going to take a closer look at what the biofuel economy might mean for the North Country. We'll look at big plans and small solutions.
First, what is biofuel? Biofuel means using biological material for energy. Like burning wood in a woodstove for heat. There are two kinds of biofuel used for transportation: ethanol and biodiesel. Ethanol is a gasoline additive made from vegetable crops - mostly corn. We'll talk more about ethanol tomorrow.
Today we'll look at biodiesel. Biodiesel is basically vegetable oil with the glycerin removed. It can run in diesel engines. It's mostly made from soybean oil. As fuel prices rise, It's becoming more cost-competitive. But as Gregory Warner reports, many consumers and farmers are still wary. Go to full article
The Biofuel Economy, part 2: ethanol alternatives
Sep 20, 2006 — Ethanol fuel is grain alcohol blended with regular gasoline. E10 is the most common blend, 10% ethanol, 90% gas. It runs in regular cars. About a third of the gas sold in America is E10. E85 is 85% ethanol and only runs in specially designed engines. Ethanol is big business for American corn farmers. But corn isn't the only crop you can make ethanol from. And it may not be the best, for the environment or for North Country farmers. New York State is taking steps towards a radically different kind of ethanol production. Gregory Warner reports. Go to full article
The Biofuel Economy, part 3: switchgrass and solid fuel
Sep 22, 2006 — Solid fuel isn't a sexy technology, but it's amazingly energy efficient. In fact there's really no comparison. The amount of energy you get burning corn in a corn stove, say, is way more than you'd get out of ethanol from the same corn. But the United States has always been a liquid fuel economy. Our infrastructure and our government subsidies reflect that. And so with alternative energy, liquid fuels like ethanol and biodiesel get a lot more attention. It's different in Europe. Now many farmers are looking across the Atlantic to find solutions for the North Country. Gregory Warner reports. Go to full article

B's grind out unlikely win over Sharks. Niemi good, Rask 2GOOD. Iginla scored 1st as a Bruin. KIL line leads the team. Bergeron king of faceoffs. Scott cheapshot fallout. Perds' mascot fun. Habs...
Trade rumors are swirling around Causeway Street as the Bruins are reportedly shopping Michael Ryder, Matt Hunwick, and Blake Wheeler. Do the B's have their sights on Keith Yandle?
Joe Haggerty of CSNNE.com is reporting that Bruins depth forward Trent Whitfield is likely on the shelf for the entire season after rupturing his Achilles tendon while working out. According to Mark Divver of the Providence Journal, Whitfield injured the tendon while running back on August 13th. The Pro-Jo is reporting that Whitfield had surgery and will be out until at least mid-February.
Boston Bruins sign defenseman Johnny Boychuk to a 2-year extension.
According to reports, the Bruins are shopping Tim Thomas
Just confirmed through league source: Bruins/Sabres will actually start their series on Thursday. Game 2 Saturday and Boston games Mon/Wed— Joe Haggerty (@HackswithHaggs) April 12, 2010
Serving up the best links of the week from all across the newfangled interwebs
John Bishop of BostonBruins.com is reporting via Twitter that Miroslav Satan is on the ice for Bruins practice at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington. This is probably a good sign that he has passed the team's physical. According to Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe, Claude Julien does not expect Satan to play for 7-10 days. Joe Haggerty of CSNNE.com is reporting via Twitter that Satan is likely going to wear #81 for the Bruins. KPD reported that he is wearing a helmet decal with his familiar #81.
Peter Chiarelli and the Boston Bruins have made a qualifying offer to Phil Kessel.
WEEI.com's Joe Haggerty spoke with Phil Kessel's agent Wade Arnott about contract negotiations . He said that the two sides are at the very beginning of their talks, but it appears that both sides would like to see Kessel remain in Boston.

The perfect invitation
Vision of Love Gate-fold Invitations I searched long and hard for the perfect invitation to my fall wedding. I ordered several sneak peaks from this site before deciding on this design. I also ordered my save the dates from this site. Every magnet street transaction I have made has been completed in a timely manner and has exceeded my expectations. I chose the linen paper for this invitation and personalized it with my fall engagement photos. The results were vibrant and perfectly matched my theme. I loved that I was able to change the colors of the design to match; and the pictures were very easy to upload and place in the design. I showed off my sneak peak (which is also a great service to use because you get a peak of your actual design) and everyone absolutely loved it. People asked how much I paid per invitation because the quality was so high. I couldn't be happier with my invitation, rsvp cards, and envelope purchase, and I spent 200 dollars less than I expected too. I would highly recommend magnet street for all your paper needs.

A month-long investigation led Knox County Sheriff's Office to shut down two more marijuana grow houses Wednesday following a pot bust Tuesday.
Deputies found about 160 plants inside 43-year-old Christopher Fuller's home Tuesday afternoon. The investigation led them to a second home on Kingman Drive in North Knoxville, where they found more growing equipment as well as guns, ammo, cash and several other drugs.
At a third home on Maxwell Street, they found more growing equipment. They also found 18 marijuana plants that had been moved to another location.
Fuller is facing several charges including cultivation of a schedule VI narcotic. His total bond is $30,500.
A second man, 45-year-old David Christopher Holloway, who lives at the home on Maxwell Street, has been charged with tampering with evidence in the case against Fuller. His bond was set at $2,000.

In my last post about translations I was explaining how to translate words in Magento with inline translation tool as an option, but there are more techniques for translating besides that.
In this post I will try to cover translations for custom modules so they all refer to a single csv file.
Ok first thing is to actually prepare words for translating. Translations will not work if we don't use proper string for them. So string will look like this:
< ?php echo $this->__('desired word') ?>
Ok now we need to go to the app/code/ and create a directory for all custom modules, so we will make a directory named local. Inside we need to create another directory called Translations for translation module.
Now we should have this – app/code/local/Translations. Inside Translations directory we should make directory named /etc and create config.xml file with this content:
< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <config> <modules> <translations> <version>1.0.0</version> </translations> </modules> <frontend> <translate> <modules> <translations> <files> <default>Translations.csv</default> </files> </translations> </modules> </translate> </frontend> <adminhtml> <translate> <modules> <translations> <files> <default>Translations.csv</default> </files> </translations> </modules> </translate> </adminhtml> </config>
So what we created is a call for default translation file for all custom modules. After creating a call we need to create Translation.csv file and copy it to a app/locale/en_US/ and in all other language packs enabled. So if we have
french language copy the file in app/locale/fr_FR.
Next stop is to enable Translation module in app/etc/name_of_the_module.xml (Translations.xml) and we should paste this code:
< ?xml version="1.0"?> <config> <modules> <translations> <active>true</active> <codepool>local</codepool> </translations> </modules> </config>
After that everything should be working fine, just open the .csv file and start translating.
Hope this will help someone.

- " The Bonsai Guest House is a great place to stay in Japan. It's incredibly easy to find, being almost adjacent to Momodani Station on the JR Osaka Loop line. It's only two stops from Osaka Castle, and the train to Nara stops at Momodani. The staff were great, spoke English, and very helpful. They don't allow eating in the rooms, which is fine because they have a great common room that fosters new friendships and conversations. Our only issue was that towels aren't free and smelled a little funky. "

- " Good place, right next to the station (about a 15 minute train ride from Osaka). The place is nice and clean, with good facilities, only issue is the rooms are a little small and don't provide heaps of space for luggage. Nice garden up the top and a good common room, would go there again. "

DALLAS — Two Department of Public Safety troopers were indicted Monday by a Dallas County grand jury after two women alleged roadside searches during a traffic stop included the penetration of their vaginas and anuses.
Kelly Helleson is the trooper accused of performing the searches with the same latex glove. She was indicted on two counts of sexual assault and two counts of official oppression.
