We drove from Williamsburg, Virginia to New Jersey a day early and enjoyed a pleasant six-hour trip, with a stop in Baltimore's Inner Harbor for lunch. Our New Jersey accommodations were at the Newark Liberty International Marriott located in the Newark Airport loop (about 15 minutes from the cruise port). We paid $159 for a no cancellation room (not a big deal since we always purchase trip insurance) and a $25 parking fee (expensive, but worth it for a full service hotel with all the amenities, so need to leave the hotel). Our top floor room allowed us to watch the planes coming in for landing and taking off. We were even able to see a very distant, wee Statue of Liberty through our camera's zoom lens. The hotel had a comfortable lounge with pub menu, an elegant steak house, and an Italian restaurant which was featuring a wonderful whole lobster dinner ($25) the night we arrived. It really put us in the mood for more lobster to come in the New England and Canadian ports. We felt very safe parking our car in the hotel lot (secured) as well as moving about the hotel. We slept like babies, thanks to sound proof windows and plush beds. This hotel is primarily for business travelers, but we did see cruisers later on the ship who had been at the hotel. We would readily stay at this hotel again.
Prior to arriving in NJ, we had initial anxiety about driving to Cape Liberty from our hotel. There were a number of highways to negotiate, road construction, poor signage as well as possible port confusions for dropping off luggage and parking in the extended stay parking lot (secured; $19/ day). This anxiety was totally unfounded. Several posters on the Cruise Critic East Coast Departure board and Meet and Mingle Board gave us very clear directions and precautions. They were so clear we hardly needed our auto navigational system. We left the hotel around 10 AM. We stopped leisurely to take photos on Terminal Boulevard near the cruise ship. The new golf course (links style) was clearly visible and was the site of the Fed Ex playoff tournament last month. National TV coverage of that tournament captured the Explorer of the Seas in its stately departure from Cape Liberty as it approached and narrowly (!) cleared the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. It was incredible to watch and to imagine that soon we would be on board ourselves. In fact, when we reached the terminal after our photo stop, we were unloaded, parked and sitting the the Diamond/ D+ departure lounge by 11 AM waiting for transportation to boarding. It couldn't have been easier. We want to send special thanks to you who gave us guidance.
Embarkation was uneventful, as I think it should be. A luncheon party on the Explorer briefly delayed boarding, but we were able to sit comfortably. Coffee, juice and pastries were provided. We were then called to begin boarding the shuttle buses that would transport us the short (really short) ride to the ship. I should mention for those who may have trouble with making a fairly high step to board a bus (as I did)--this is where you may encounter a problem. When we were told we could begin boarding the bus, there was a terrific rush of people to the bus door. Stampede may be a more appropriate word. But two kind people helped me up, and away we went. We boarded the ship before noon and were soon seated in the Windjammer with its bountiful buffet.
After lunch we checked in with My Time Dining (entrance to the Main Dining Room on Deck 5) to schedule our dinner for the next two nights (thereafter scheduled daily). After countless cruises where we have been paired up with people with whom we have little in common and must search for conversation, we prefer a table for two. We are very social people and love to meet new friends. We simply like to choose them ourselves. We also abhor a 5:30 or 8:30 dining time. On the Explorer we were given several choices of times for a table to 2. We usually selected 7:10 or 7:30 PM. There was never a wait and we usually had a table by or near a window. Our main waiter was Glen (table 612), who exceeded our expectations each night with his charm, eagerness to please and expert service. I have read that Explorer had issues with MTD earlier, but none was evident on our cruise.
We booked a D1 cabin, 9620, on the middle of the hump, port side. The convenience of this location could not be improved. We were steps from the elevators, which delivered us to immediate access to the dining rooms, Windjammer, lounges, Guest Services/ Promenade and other centrally located areas of the ship. After many cruises in the D1 cabin, we have learned to accommodate ourselves to the smallness of the room. The closet space is adequate. The bathroom comfortable for one. The shower claustrophobic. Perhaps my biggest issue with RCI cabins is the inability to curtain off the beds from the TV and sitting area, so that if one person wants to sleep she does not have TV glare to contend with. Our cabin steward was Raymond ("everybody loves Raymond" he said and he was right) who answered our every wish and maintained the cabin spotlessly. He left us delightful towel animals every night. Explorer is scheduled for dry dock in January and I would except some renewal would be in the works for the cabins. Newer flat screen TVs would be nice. Although having said that, there was nothing about my room that would prevent me from traveling the Explorer again. In fact, I intend to book another cruise shortly. The cabins simply show their age, but they also show good maintenance. The public rooms, I should add, were quite beautiful.
The dreaded 4:30 muster was no longer uncomfortable and interminable. For now we were able to find our stations sans life jackets, assemble, mingle, joke, and watch the inevitable late-comers,stroll to their stations. The instructions were thankfully brief. RCI has a winner in this new policy. And like children released from school, once the muster ended, we were off to our favorite sail away location. Sail away! what can be better? We headed to Dizzy's to find and match faces with names from our Meet and Mingle discourse over the past months. This is one of many benefits of Cruise Critic which allows us to connect immediately with each other. All in the environment of pulling away from the pier, heading out to sea, and the joy of cruising. If you haven't been in Dizzy's approaching the Verrazano, sailing under those girders and narrowly clearing, all the while engaged in excited conversation, snapping photos, sipping a beverage, and feeling all your cares slip away, then you need to book the Explorer. It's different.
The Explorer offered a remarkable variety of activities and entertainment throughout all levels of the ship and throughout the day and night. For one who simply wanted to read and watch the ocean, I found myself doing very little reading. There was so much to do. If reading is your choice, however, head to the Viking Lounge (Dizzy's) early because it is a hot spot for readers and ocean dreamers (and nappers) during the day. The Ice Show, as usual on the big ships, was excellent. The casino was kind to me. The parades were wonderful. I cannot speak to the theater entertainment. The nightly music in the Aquarium Lounge was fantastic. We had cold, rainy weather most days and the outside decks were not much in use, although I was highly impressed to see one older guy climb the rock wall to the top and ring the bell! The inside activities were well attended and fun--captain's talk, cooking demo, arts and crafts, bingo (!), trivia, you name it!!!
We had cruisers from diverse locations. The US was represented by seemingly a lot of people from the West Coast, not simply the East Coast and Northeast, as I had expected. Royal Caribbean dress suggestions were adhered to imperfectly. On formal nights most of us looked good, but not necessarily formal. I didn't know what to make of the man who came to the main dining room on formal night in a football jersey and jeans. He seemed an effrontery to the rest of us. During the day on sea days, dress standards ranged from resort casual to sloppy. On shore days and rainy days, jeans and sneakers and raincoats predominated. I understand and appreciate Royal Caribbean's continued publication of its dress codes (formal; smart casual; casual) as an attempt to encourage some sort of dress behavior on board for the benefit of us all, but I wish there would be some enforcement to prevent blatant disregard (such as the football jersey) at dinner. I know this is a controversial issue, with opinions as diverse as the people who cruise.
We are Diamond cruisers who enjoyed Diamond benefits for a brief three cruises before they were rescinded. RCI offers in their stead a nightly Diamond event in the 19th Hole (Deck 14 behind Dizzy's), which featured free wine and champagne and cocktails at a 25% discount. This is a smaller lounge with a wall of glass windows overlooking the ocean and totally wonderful to experience during sail away. We give special thanks to Melvin and Bridget who were so good to us throughout the cruise. We didn't miss the Concierge Lounge a bit and the room was never overcrowded.
We must say that they staff and crew on the Explorer were efficient and unfailingly upbeat and friendly. Would that all the world could be so staffed by such giving, attentive, and smiling people who really seem to care about those they attend to. I have never felt anything false in the RCI staff and crew.
A word about food. It's not why I cruise, but it seems to be a big issue with readers and reviewers. Certainly, it's a large part of what we pay for, so it should be largely without complaint. In fairness, though, we should not expect haute cuisine--this is, after all, a cruise ship where thousands are being fed. I found the dinner entrees to be quiet good, if not excellent. Some of the appetizers were tepid. The breads and desserts always wonderful. Lunches in the dining room, especially the salad bar were very very good. And how could anyone complain about breakfast in the Windjammer? I looked forward to each of my meals and found the Explorer to be as good, if not better than other Royal ships. Don't miss the rice pudding. The escargot. The filet of beef. Pancakes. Mashed potatoes and turkey. Portofino $15 steak. Prunes?
Finally, debarkation was slow, but efficient and orderly. I have read about mass chaos, but not on my cruise. We had Gray 2 tags. We began to leave at 8:30 and left in stages--down to Deck 1; wait ten minutes or so; then, on to the bus for transport to the terminal; wait to leave the bus until the bus in front was empty and through the terminal; then off the bus; find luggage (really easy) and on through customs. A short walk to the parking lot for us and onward to Virginia! All told, about a hour from beginning to end. More tedious than timely, but not stressful. Not a bad way to ease out of a cruise and acclimate oneself to a new reality.
Look for us on these future cruises: January 23, 2010 Oasis of the Seas; April 10, 2010 Navigator of the Seas TA; and January 2, 2011 Explorer 14th night Caribbean.

The NFL is going to use pink penalty flags at MetLife Stadium during Sunday's Dolphins-Jets game after an 11-year-old New Jersey boy wrote a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Dante Cano, a fifth-grade student from Marlboro's Asher Holmes Elementary School wrote:
"My name is Dante Cano. I am 11 years old and I am from Marlboro, New Jersey. I wanted to know if you could use my idea of pink penalty flags in October for breast cancer awareness. Please write back."
The NFL says Goodell invited Cano and his family to MetLife Stadium where they will present the pink penalty flags to the officials prior to the game.
"Dante had a great idea and I am looking forward to meeting with him on Sunday to put it into action," Commissioner Goodell said in a statement. "Sometimes the simplest ideas can be the best. I applaud Dante for sending in his recommendation."
Players, officials and coaches have been sporting pink clothing at games during October as part of the NFL's Breast Cancer Awareness month.

We've dug through the paperwork and found the area restaurants who don't seem to be making the top grade when it comes to their latest health inspection.
While it may only have opened a month ago, the Red Pepper in Fargo is already making the grade... though it's likely not the one they want.The restaurant was cited for one critical violation and two non-criticals during its first inspection by the health department.
Some pre-cooked taco meat in the walk-in cooler was not dated -- which could be dangerous if old food were to hit your plate -- and there was also debris observed on the floor.
The Red Pepper was not the only eatery cited for debris; Moe's Southwest Grill on 25th street has been cited for debris offenses on 7 separate occasions.
Debris was found on the grill stand, cooler, cabinets, service counter, and dining room floors.
Of course, not every place in the Valley is getting cited. CJ's Kitchen on South University Drive in South Fargo has kept a clean slate for their past three inspections. For that, we've named them the recipient of this week's Clean Plate Award.

On March 20th, Tazewell County voters will be asked to choose between two Republican candidates for County coroner.
Carl Powell is the incumbent, named to the post by the County Board last November, after the retirement of Dennis Conover. Powell, a retired Pekin Police Lieutenant and EMT, had been Deputy Coroner to Conover for two years.
"I bring the civil and criminal background from the Police department. I have a bachelor's degree in management. I came to the Coroner's office in 2009 and worked for Dennis Conover for two a a half years," said Powell. "In that he kind of groomed me in the talking to people aspect, in such that we handle people different in the Coroner's office compared to the police department. We do a lot of service calls in the police department, to help people out, but in the Coroner's Office, it's all service calls. Because, people, it's the worst days in someone's life when we come to call. We help them in that matter, but we also believe that we need to investigate those deaths in the county to get the true cause and manner of death."
He is opposed by Dr. Jeff Baldi of Morton, a retired dentist, and also a retired United States Air Force Colonel, who last commanded the 182nd Medical Group in Peoria.
"I have an education which has led me into a forensics group of experiences," said Dr. Baldi. "I think I can bring some professionalism. I have been a health care provider for 28 years, retired U-S Air Force colonel, taking care of patients, as well as taking care of the troops I'm with, so I feel I've a heightened level of compassion which I can share with the citizens, and it's certainly something the citizens of Tazewell County deserve".
There is no candidate from the Democrat party running for Coroner in Tazewell County.

There's no doubt that kids of all ages (including adults!) love Shannon Tanner, a longtime fixture at Harbourfest in Shelter Cove Harbour, our hallmark event of the year. Tourists and locals come from near and far to do the "crazy hair dance" and see Shannon don his trademark beanie each summer night while singing song after family-friendly song. But one recent visitor had an even more memorable experience than most: bonding with his daughter in a moment that he'll never forget. This father wrote us to tell us how his 8-year-old daughter was upset that she was missing her school's father/daughter dance because of their recent Hilton Head vacation. A little sad, she and her family headed out to Harbourfest and found themselves along with many families enjoying the fun that is Shannon Tanner. He writes: "It was about that time in the show where you asked the little girls to grab their dads for a song you were about to do. For the first time in the day she got excited and grabbed my hand and dragged me up to dance with her. You then sang a song I had never heard before and it was a moment in my life that I will never forget. It was Cinderella. As I listened to the words, I related to the song and couldn't hold back my emotions as I held my little girl while we danced together." Later that night, she told him she was so happy because she got to dance with her dad after all. "I melted right then and there," said the dad. "I have since downloaded the song from iTunes and can't listen to [it] without remembering that night and getting emotional." We're so glad that this family will have happy memories of Shelter Cove, Palmetto Dunes and Hilton Head forever, and we hope you'll come make your own memories, as well.
What's better than a week off from work, relaxing on the beach and sleeping in? Why, bragging about doing all those things on social media so your co-workers, friends and boss can drool while they sit at their desks and cubicles, of course! But here at Palmetto Dunes, we'll give you even more reason to get "social" with us while you're on vacation. Heck, you can save money and hear first about all the cool things we have going on. Are you on Foursquare? This smartphone app lets you "check in" at different locations to get special deals, earn badges and try to become "the mayor." Be sure to check in at the tennis center, golf courses and see what goodies are in store for you! You can also use the location-based service to read recommendations for others or get tips on the best burger and happy hour specials around town! If you have a question about anything Hilton Head, please "like" us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter and we'll be happy to find the answer. We also love seeing pictures of your family enjoying a bike ride on the beach or playing cornhole so please share your experiences and photos on our Facebook page or tweet about it! We'll also keep you updated about many events and special deals we have going on year round here at Palmetto Dunes. Did we convince you to get social yet?
If you've ever played the Robert Trent Jones course on a Thursday then you've definitely seen and, if you're lucky, had the pleasure of meeting Starter, Sammy Mulrain. Sammy has been with us at Palmetto Dunes for more than 30 years and he is one of very few people who can say they've never missed a day of work. Sammy's never even been late! Sammy, who is 95, might have gotten his work ethic when he stormed Normandy in World War II or maybe even when he played baseball with "The Scooter" himself, Phil Rizzuto. After living across the world, he moved to Hilton Head, S.C. and we are so grateful he did. Sammy gives back to our community by working with several non-profits in the area. For example, he spends his own time collecting lost golf balls, which a local church can then sell as a fund-raising activity. Sammy won the 2009 Employee of the Year award from Lowcountry Golf Course Owners Association, a much deserved recognition, but to us here at Palmetto Dunes, but he's Employee of the Century! We love ya Sammy!
One of the benefits of staying at Palmetto Dunes is having everything right at your fingertips. The beach, bikes, golf and fishing are all within walking or biking distance from your villa. The same goes for food. Whether you're craving burgers, burritos or a seafood diner paired with wine, it's available at Palmetto Dunes or across the street at Shelter Cove Harbour.
If you're headed down to Hilton Head in May, we hope you're here in time to catch a local favorite annual event, the Rib Burnoff and Barbeque Fest. This year's event will be Saturday, May 14 from Noon-4 p.m. at the Coastal Discovery Museum, 70 Honey Horn Drive.
We've hired a new executive chef here at Palmetto Dunes and we're very excited to introduce him. Meet Curtis Lincoln!
Here in Hilton Head we rarely have a day where it's too cold to play golf, but some days the heat can be a bit of a factor. For those summer days on the steamier side, we help cool you down with specialized cooling golf carts.

If your child expects a "reward", does it not become a bribe to do what you want them to do? 4 years It's always good to reward positive bahavior! If a child is seeking attention and getting that attention by using bad behavior, rewarding the good behavior can make a big difference. If they see and learn that they are getting something positive when they are positive, it willeventually stick and they'll be proud of their good behavior. My son is in grade 1 and having a hard time not following examples of bad behavior. He's learning with sticks that if he keeps all his 3 sticks all day, he'll get 15 minutes of computer time the next day. If all his sticks are gone, he'll get no computer time, and the other 2 are in between. It's something he can actually look at on his desk to see how is behavior is affecting him and hopefully be aware of making a better choice. If he keeps his 3 sticks for 3 days in a row, he gets some extra special time with either me or my husband to read or watch a bit of tv or talk and cuddle.

- Spring distributions will be on Wednesday only from 3:30 - 6:30
- Spring distributions are every Wednesday for 10 weeks - March 19 - May 28. Cost = $300.
- Each distribution will include between 6 - 10 items. It's not a huge amount but should be enough for 2 veggie eaters or a small family.
- On-farm on Wednesdays from 2 - 6:30
- On-farm on Saturdays from 10 - 12
- From the Ypsilanti Farmer's Market on Saturdays between 9 &1.
The summer session brings on some very tasty veggies. For example, early on you can expect an assortment of greens along with peas, fava beans, spring onions, garlic scapes, etc. About 4 - 6 weeks later, you'll be eating some small summer squash and cukes, along with kohl rabi and other root veggies. From mid-July on, most fruits will kick in so summer squash, cukes and beans will be growing earnestly and the tomatoes and peppers will begin. Mid to late August through the end of Sept.is peak harvest for tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, etc and winter squash will begin. We still serve a large amount of greens but try to balance it out with the fruits of summer and root crops.
|Assortment of flowers, potatoes, herbs and squash

Capella Farm is located on
What is a CSA?
- A CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture, is a group of people who get together and pre-pay a farmer for a weekly box of veggies. The group shares the risks and the rewards of the growing season. It is a way to support your local farm, connect to the land, and eat good food.
- By pre-paying for your veggies, the farmer is able to budget accordingly. Workers can be hired, machinery purchased, etc.
- This is a place where people get together to change how we eat, one meal at a time. The biggest change most new members notice is that we eat what's in season. For example, cucumbers are not generally available in September and tomatoes aren't generally available in June.
How does Capella Farm's CSA work?
The pick up is buffet-style. There will be a white board with a list of instructions. In general, this is the routine:
- You enter the farm using the east entrance (our driveway is a semi-circle). Follow signs for parking and park facing the east garden. Walk to the small barn. Please note that the goats are enclosed by an electric fence so don't touch the wires!
- You bring your own bag or box. If you forget one, we have boxes that you can use.
- You follow the instructions and pack your box with veggies.
- Things like herbs or other items that people may or may not want, are placed on a table and you take them as suggested on the board
- There might be extra items on the table and you can help yourself to these. If you don't want something in a box, leave it on the table for others to take.
- Occasionally there are items that you choose from. For example, I might prepare 15 boxes of okra and 15 boxes of eggplant and you choose one or the other.
- Flowers (later in summer only) are u-pick. Generally you are able to pick between 15 - 20 stems to make your own bouquet. Flowers are started from seed and take time to mature so they generally aren't in full production until mid to late July. Flowers are u-pick only so if you're picking up at the market, flowers are not included but you might be able to purchase some if they're available.
What's in a share?
The share is intended to provide 2 adults and 2 young children with veggies for a week. It is hoped to be a generous amount of veggies. We do have 2 member households who eat a full share every week and others that share a share with another household. We do not prepare 1/2 boxes but you can alternate weeks with another member if you'd like and we can help you to find a share partner. Some members share a share with a neighbor or friend and split the box up every week. Depending upon the time of year, your share will vary. It will primarily include veggies but may also include flowers and fresh herbs, as available. In the spring, we'll share the cold-weather crops which we'll start in the hoop house in late March. Moving into July and August, the leafy veggies will give way to our warm weather friends that are more heat-tolerant. In late August through October, we'll return to our cold-loving veggies but also move into prime harvest which includes tomatoes, potatoes, winter squash, etc.
Cost:See above under Options re. applicable prices per season.
There is no work commitment but we'll have a few work days throughout the season so you can come out to lend a hand if you're able and would like to. We strongly encourage this as it helps members understand what's happening in the soil and with the plants. If you have a day to volunteer, give me a call - there's always something to do here, any time of the year and in any weather.
|Planting flowers - 2009
|Starting Seeds in Feb, 2010
|Back from spreading mulch, 2010
The work days are fun. Last year we followed them up with a potluck lunch. This year we're planning for Volunteer Mondays - come on over around 8 or 9 and work until lunch. Let us know you're planning to come. In addition, we're planning volunteer days on the first Saturday of each month. Work from 9 - 12 and join in for a 1 hour potluck lunch. Bring gloves, a water bottle, sunscreen, bug spray, a favorite hand tool if you have one, rain pants, etc. depending on the weather.
If the crops do well, we may be able to offer bulk purchases of veggies at a discount to members so that you can stock your freezer for the winter.
Returning members will receive first dibs on membership and day of week preference for pick up. Deposit for the summer session is $100 and is due by Jan. 31. Deposit for the other two sessions is 1/2 the cost of the session and is due 8 weeks prior to the start of that session. The balance is due by March 30 (for summer) and 4 weeks prior to the start of the other 2 sessions. If you'd like to make payment arrangements, please let us know.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What if I can't pick up on my pre-set day? If you are going to be on vacation and would like to move your pick-up to another pick up day (summer option only), give us a call at least 3 days in advance and we can change your date. If you want us to hold a box, we can hold it for 1 day but after that we'll use the produce (it will probably wilt).
- What if I forget to pick up? Please call as soon as you remember (within 12 hours of scheduled pickup). If we don't hear from you by noon the next day, we'll probably use the produce or give it away.
- If I forget to pick up my box or get stuck at work and can't make it to pick up, can I just come on the next pickup? Since distribution days are back to back, you can come the next day if you forget on the first but please let us know that you're doing that. After that, we won't pick another box for you unless you want to buy additional veggies. Sorry but if we've already picked it, we'll have to charge to pick it again. Generally the produce is still good the day after your scheduled pick up so just give us a call and we'll be sure to set it aside for you.
- If I'm out of town, what do I do? Most people try to find a neighbor or relative to use their share - just let us know if someone else will be picking up and we'll try to help them at pickup time. If you can't find someone to use your share, please let us know so that we don't prepare a box for you.
- What if I continually forget to pick up my box? If you don't pick up your box 3 times in a row and haven't called or contacted us to let us know what's happening, we'll stop preparing a box for you. You can call to let us if you plan to start picking up again.
- Is there a form that I need to fill out in order to join? No, at this time there is not a form. By sending in your check, we hope that you have read the info. here and understand how the distributions work. Thanks!

DNA map cancer therapy is 'not science fiction'
Chief executive of The Institute of Cancer Research Professor Alan Ashworth, comments on the Tumour Profiling Unit's research that will look at the use of DNA mapping in future cancer treatments:
None of this is science fiction. One would think in five or 10 years this will be absolutely routine practice for every cancer patient, and that's what we're aiming to bring about.
Genetic profiling of cancer is already being investigated at several laboratories around the world, but the new unit will pioneer its use in the clinic

I don't know what the fuss is over. I was nailing keeper after keeper today with my supposedly horrible 6D and my completely unusable Tamron 70-200.
Which af points were you using?
All modern af system are usable, the differences should show a) when the tracked object is to the top/side (no af points on 6d), b) when the contrast/light is low (only up to 0.5lv and no outer cross on 6d), c) on difficult movement patterns (i.e. not simply something like a wave moving constantly in one direction).
However I expect the 6d to do just fine for me once I got it, I recently got frustrated by my 60d again because the af fields are just too far apart so it's center point only for tracking - which works, but at least on 6d the points are closer together so multipoint should be more usable.
Center Point only, continuous shutter mode, one shot AF mode(because the Tamron lens does not function well in the AI modes)

Good news for people in Ben Hill County, the school board is not increasing taxes.
This news comes just weeks after the county raised it's property tax rate by one mil.
The tax digest has been decreasing over the years.
While the school system had to raise its milage rate by one tenth of a mil, they won't be collected anymore taxes.
"Although we need the money, my board doesn't feel like it is justified to go to the people, to try to bring in new revenues," says School board Financial Director, Thomas Rachels.
He says the school board tries to hold the rate as low as possible, in fact it has been 8 years since the school board has raised taxes. increase.

For the Times Sentinel
Lebanon —
Two years ago when Lebanon's farmers' market ceased, Bethany Deaton said she kept hearing people use one thing as a reason — "Well, we're not Zionsville."
"No, we're not, and that's OK," said Bethany, who owns The Fig Tree Cafe with her husband, Levi. "We can still do our own thing, and it can be good."
The local farmers' market ended in 2011 when its sponsor, Lebanon Vitalization Inc., dissolved. But Lebanon Parks Director John Messenger saw a need for it, so the Lebanon Parks Department is starting it back up again at Lebanon Memorial Park, near Herr Cabin. It will be near a playground so kids can play while the adults shop. Levi Deaton said he's a fan of the location change because it creates a more family friendly feel.
The first farmers' market of the season will be June 20. The market will be from 5 to 8 p.m. on Thursday evenings instead of Saturday mornings this time around to avoid competing with farmers' markets in other communities. It will run into October.
See Wednesday's Times Sentinel for the full story.


text: 389 notes Posted 8, December, 2012 As per a few requests, I compiled a few fantasy prompts… but I also realize that these are probably insufficient for your fantasy-related-writing-prompt needs. So, I'd also like to point out fantasyscapes, which has some great potential for inspiring writing. I also think The Art of Animation might be worth your time. That has a great mix of science fiction and fantasy art, although sometimes it's a bit NSFWish. If you have other good ideas, please let me know. Thanks. #writing #fantasy #writing prompts #education

These are perhaps the only wildflower seeds that survived the attack of the sparrows! They came up quickly in the fall, made it through our mild California winter and are blooming profusely right now. They like the shady/partly sunny spot they are in.
I love this little flower!
By Kory
from Elizabeth, CO
These are great looking little flowers that do pretty well, once established. They do not spread to well where I live because growing conditions are pretty harsh, but I love them where I have them.
We'll see!

This is a great filler for areas on a slope. I have a rock garden and they seem to be coming in nicely and filling up the empty spaces.

The sweetest flowers!
from Midlothian, VA
About Me Getting Started
We planted these seeds in pots and planters. They bloomed profusely all summer long last year. We have ordered more for this summer. We love the small purple and white blooms. There was a large pot on our front porch that was delightful to look at each time we came home last summer and fall.

Hi there,
Is it possible to create a SIS installer file for Personal Profile applications for Nokia 9300/9500?
I managed it with pJava applications for 9200 Communicator years ago and they worked perfectly.
Now, I can't find any record in the manual but it seems that the AIFBuilder still has a 'Java' check box. Does that mean I can create installer for 9300/9500 in the same way?

Recycling containers come to downtown WaynesvilleWritten by Becky Johnson
- Are visitor centers passé? Haywood tourism authority mulls bang for the buck at visitor center sites
- Beyond the wrench: Changing credentials for manufacturing fix-it men lead to new workforce training initative at HCC
- Rules of the game: Haywood firms up its facilities-use policy
- Mission moving in: Haywood Regional facing battle over home turf
- Haywood's detergent war: Schools opt for EcoLab over local supplier
No more schlepping those empty drink bottles or cans home after a day of browsing in downtown Waynesville.
A dozen recycling containers will soon be scattered around Main Street and its surrounds.
The town made the move purchase and install recycling cans based on requests from merchants as well as residents, according to Alison Lee Melnikova, the assistant town manager.
Melnikova scouted the streets and sidewalks with Downtown Waynesville Association Director Buffy Messer recently to assess where to put the new containers, but the final locations are still being decided.
The recycling containers will look similar to the public trash cans around downtown, with the vertical wood slats, but will be dark green in color and are actually made from recycled plastic, although they look like wood, Melnikova said. The recycling containers will cost the town $5,000.
For special events and festivals, DWA put out portable recycling cans, but the rest of the year, Main Street browsers faced the unfortunate conundrum of what to do with those recyclables — either toting a sticky can around or guiltily tossing it when it seems no one is looking.
Cans should be in place by early August.

"This is the most beautiful Christmas card we've ever had! Many of our friends commented saying, "What a card!," and that this card earned us "Christmas card of the year!" We ordered it with the pearlized finish and it was absolutely stunning! The picture quality was fantastic. We had such a great experience that we will order cards every year from now on....it will be hard to top this one!"
"When I set it up one of my pics had bad lighting but I liked the pic so used it anyway. It came out really good! I had not used the studio basics before because I thought it would be too much like a Walmart card. It was not at all. The paper quality was great. Not flimsy or shiny. Will use studio basics again. The card design was very cute, too."
"Site was easy to use and upload to. I was late on my Christmas schedule so I paid for rush delivery; ordered late Wednesday evening, arrived early Saturday morning! Print colors and paper quality excellent. Used back of card to caption the images. Reason for 4-stars on design is inability to change "HAPPY HOLIDAYS" to another greeting, e.g. 'Merry Christmas'. Otherwise, a 5-star product. One tip: when editing photos before uploading, use a 3x4 cropping frame."
"This is my second time ordering postcards as my Christmas card and I love it. It's unique and fun. A couple things to note - it is small, but not tiny. It is nice if you don't have very high quality photos because you don't need to blow them up. One small complaint is that we couldn't put a return address label on the back because it would have covered our text. It would be nice if TinyPrints showed how much room is at the top (size)."
"Overall I was happy with the card, but in retrospect I would not have wasted the extra money on getting the pearl shimmer paper - I am thinking the pearl shimmer may look better on designs that have predominantly white/lighter colors. But in terms of the design and overall quality, I am pleased!"

By ASHLEIGH LIVINGSTON
---- — ELLENBURG CORNERS — The 2012-13 academic year started off without a hitch at Northern Adirondack Central School despite the need for some unconventional classrooms.
Just a few weeks before school was scheduled to begin, the district was notified that construction to High School classrooms in the Middle/High School building would not be completed in time for the students' return.
So construction crews, along with the district's own maintenance crews, worked through Labor Day weekend to transform the building's gymnasium into temporary learning spaces for the students.
"They are makeshift," said NACS Superintendent Laura Marlow.
"But you know what? They're doing the trick … and kids are learning."
The classrooms, which are separated by temporary walls that don't reach the ceiling, each have desks and computers, and teachers have even decorated the spaces with educational and inspirational materials.
"It's amazing what you can do with a minimal amount of furniture and a minimal amount of material," Marlow said.
"It's quite impressive, actually."
Global teacher Kevin Perkins has taken advantage of having a disposable classroom by writing, "You will defeat the regents" on one of the walls in black marker.
"It's all about teaching, just in a different environment," he said.
It does get noisy in the gym with several different lessons going on simultaneously, noted Stewart Chase, who teaches English, but "it's working out fine."
Students are making the best of the situation, as well.
"It's not too bad," said Mikailah Donah, a junior at the school. "The teachers kind of have a positive attitude."
"Everybody can still learn," said senior Colby Garrand.
"All the work is always done."
In addition to the gym, some High School classes are also being held in rooms typically used by Middle School students until permanent settings for the older students can be completed.
Construction in the Middle/High School building is part of the district's nearly $30 million capital-improvement project, which includes extensive upgrades to both the Middle/High and Elementary School buildings, as well as technology and energy-efficiency improvements, classroom additions and construction of a multi-purpose Middle School gymnasium.
Much of the work was finished, as scheduled, when classes began earlier this month; however, an unexpected need for vermiculite abatement in the Middle/High School delayed the completion of the High School classrooms.
Although vermiculite, an insulation material installed in the building's exterior walls in the 1970s, is not itself considered a hazardous material, the State Department of Health ruled last spring that all vermiculite should be presumed to contain asbestos and should, therefore, be removed if disturbed.
Asbestos is a mineral fiber that, if inhaled, is known to cause a serious lung condition known as asbestosis.
Though air in the Middle/High School tested negative for the presence of asbestos, some vermiculite was disturbed during the construction process, prompting the district to remove the material from the building as a precaution.
Marlow said the vermiculite abatement was safely completed before classes began Sept. 5, and the High School classrooms are now being reconstructed in two sections.
The first section, comprising 12 classrooms, is expected to be ready for use by Oct. 1.
Once this section is complete, enough space will be available to move all classes out of the gym.
The second section, which contains an additional 12 to 14 classrooms, is expected to be reconstructed by Nov. 1.
As a treat for teachers who have been displaced by the renovations, Marlow said, the district has decided to paint the permanent High School classrooms with accent colors, giving the spaces "a nice, fresh facelift."
Both Marlow and Northern Adirondack Central Business Executive Brian Tousignant gave credit to the district's faculty and staff for their hard work and willingness to make necessary changes throughout the construction process.
"The staff and faculty have been very supportive of this … and really have been very patient," Tousignant said.

It would be easy to make a list of 10 bad things—wars, government shut-down, drone attacks, lack of progress on immigrant rights, lousy health-care reform. But it's also been a year of extraordinary activism: whistleblowers, DREAMers, Walmart workers, peacemakers, gay rights advocates, garment workers. As the year ends, let's pay tribute to the good things their efforts have wrought.
CWA devised a simple plan for which they were uniquely suited: drag TPP out of the shadows and into the light - one city at a time - using a medium they understand intimately: Daily Newspapers!
Two CWA members - Dave Felice in Denver, CO and Madelyn Elder in Portland, OR have started the ball rolling. We just need to keep up the momentum leading up to a big day of petition deliveries.
Step 1 is to send an Op-Ed to your Daily Newspaper.
Congress has a solution for creating jobs and job training programs but the newspapers never talk about that. Government isn't broken and government can create jobs. Make sure that people in your community know that this is possible.
If your Representative is not currently a cosponsor of HR 1000 they may not completely understand how important full employment is to your community; click on your state at the bottom of this page to see all the cosponsors in your state. Nothing sends a stronger message to a Congressional member than a personal visit to a district office by a voter with a written request. Phone calls and emails are incredibly important but nothing gets attention like a personal visit. Our Educate Congress page has information and a sample letter. Print the letter, sign it, deliver it.

The man accused of killing three of his Madison County family members won't go to trial any time soon. Rashad Riddick, 25, remains under psychiatric evaluation, and we'll have to wait almost four months before we know if he's fit to face a jury.
By the time Riddick returns to court, it will have been more than two years since he was first accused of the crime. But that time has yielded more questions than answers, and the case is far from finished.
Riddick is accused of murdering his uncle, James Clarke Jackson, Jackson's wife Karen, and her daughter Chante Davis in February 2011. He faces 11 charges, including six counts of capital murder and possession of a sawed-off shotgun.
Now almost two years later, Madison County still has no verdict, as the capital murder case gets caught in competence hearing after competence hearing. There have been four such hearings in the past six months.
The first yielded nothing - Riddick refused to cooperate with the court or his attorneys. His second evaluation in August shocked the court when Riddick leapt from his chair, attacking his own defense counsel Joseph Flood. Flood suffered only minor injuries, and insisted he continue with the case.
At the rescheduled hearing in September, the judge declared Riddick incompetent to stand trial, citing documented violence, paranoia, and testimony from mental health professionals. Since then, Riddick has remained in treatment at Central State Hospital.
The case is at a standstill, as frustrated family members struggle to find closure.
Riddick's evaluators have until April 3 to complete an evaluation, but may request more time if necessary. Riddick's next hearing is set for April 5.
In the meantime, friends of the family members killed in 2011 have a fund set up to help support their grandchildren and the Madison County Boys and Girls Club. Click here for more information on how to contribute.

Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.
The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.
Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!
When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.
Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.

Greensburg —
Two local cross country teams and two other individual runners competed in the Greensburg Regional Cross Country Tournament Saturday morning. The meet featured runners that advanced from the Franklin Community and South Dearborn sectionals.
Greensburg freshman Shelby Pake qualified for the Carmel Semi-State meet. She is the fourth Lady Pirate harrier in school history to qualify individually for semi-state, and will compete Saturday at 10:30 a.m.
The Greensburg boys and girls squads each placed in the top 10, while North Decatur freshman Megan Hoover and South Decatur freshman Ashley Hamilton both ran for a shot at a semi-state appearance.
In the girls' competition, Oldenburg Academy's Sarah Billingsley was the individual winner. She set a new course record breaking the 18 minute barrier, running 17:58 for 5,000 meters. Center Grove won the team title with 32 points.
The Lady Pirates finished 10th in the team standings with 238 points, and finished the 2012 season with a record of 60-49. The first finisher for Greensburg was Shelby Pake. She ran a personal best of 19:47 and earned 10th place overall.
Senior Ericka Carman was the next finisher for the Lady Pirates. She also set a new personal record as she finished 56th in 22:49. Erin Hamilton took 67th in the race with a time of 23:41. Seniors Tori Helms and Cierra Luers came in next for Greensburg. Tori placed 68th in 23:49 while Cierra was 69th in 23:52. Mary Kate Porter finished 75th in a time of 24:28, and senior Melissa Brickett ran 24:33 to place 76th.
North freshman Megan Hoover took 20th overall, clocking a time of 20:28.5. For Hoover, her regional time was a personal-best for the Greensburg course. Hoover had set North's 5K record and became the first Lady Charger to break 20 minutes at North.
"Megan had a great season," said North coach Scott Johnson. "She is a hard worker who deserved all of the success that she experienced this year. The amazing thing is that she is just a freshman. I look forward to having the opportunity to coach her the next three years."
South freshman Ashley Hamilton placed 37th with a time of 21:21.77.
"As a freshman going into regionals, she had a great mentality," said South coach Bethany Fromer of Hamilton. "She treated it like any other ordinary meet. She didn't show her nerves and just went out and ran the best race she could that day. It is exciting to see how she has grown over the year and for the years that she will have to come in cross country. I know she is going to continue to work hard each year to be where she needs to be. She is a great athlete, she works hard and it shows!"
For the boys, Mooresville's Michael Passmore took first place running 15:55, while Center Grove was the team champion scoring 65 points.
The Greensburg boys finished 43-71, placing ninth overall with 212 points.
Freshman Peyton Buening led the Pirates for the second straight race. He came in 35th in 17:58. The next finishers for Greensburg were a pair of seniors. Bryce Nystrom placed 45th in 18:23, and Colin Evans was 47th in 18:26. Michael Back finished his freshman year running a personal best of 18:38 to take 53rd. Teammate Ethan Sebastian also ran 18:38 and placed 54th in the race. Senior Justin Starkey ended his season with a personal record for 5000m. He was 72nd in 20:46. Ben Newhart earned 74th in a time of 22:44.
