My husband and I were looking for a special place to stay the night we got married. I loved the pictures on the website of the Haven room and the price was well within our budget so I decided on the Black Forest B&B. Even though we arrived late we were greeted at the door and given a personal escort to our room. The room was so homey and pretty-a perfect "home away from home" for our first night of marriage. Breakfast the next morning was cinnamon rolls (still warm and looked homemade), fruit, and yogurt. I would definitely consider staying at the Black Forest B&B again!

The ARK was quaint and cozy and we enjoyed the view of surrounding trees and buildings. We loved the pumpkin chocolate muffins and were always looking forward to what would come next on our plates. This would be a great place to have a family gathering!

We had a wonderful vacation thanks to our wonderful hosts and their family. We took our boys on various outings in the mountains during the week and they really enjoyed it. It was so nice to have such a relaxing place to return to at night instead of the usual hotel room. We will recommend this B&B to all of our friends and family.

Two weeks ago the Waldo Canyon Fire caused thousands of people to be displaced from their homes in the Colorado Springs, Colorado region. As one of those evacuees, I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to a local business and individual that provided safe haven for several families, including myself, during those extraordinary circumstances. Susan Wilson, independent owner/operator of the Black Forest Bed and Breakfast, Lodge and Cabins was inundated with calls, tears and cars as people searched frantically for someplace safe to stay with their children, pets and possessions during the first week of the fire. Susan went above and beyond to accommodate and provide respite for seven thankful families during their time of need. . She even called and cancelled her previously booked tourist reservations so that these local families could stay as long as they needed to stay. Nestled in the fragrant pines 1,500 feet above the heat and smoke on the northeast side of the city, Susan's facilities provided safe haven and comfort for these families as they anxiously waited for the word when they would be able to return to their homes. Now the fires are gone and the skies are blue once again in our beautiful Colorado. If and when you can, please help support the Colorado Springs community and the Black Forest Bed and Breakfast, Lodge and Cabins, by recommending the region to others as a vacation destination or even come here yourself. Susan Wilson's Black Forest B&B is currently offering a 20 percent discount on all rooms and will donate an additional five percent to the Waldo Canyon Fire Victim Assistance Fund -- Pikes Peak United Way.

I had an amazing experience here. So much thought and detail went into this home-like facility. Especially the Ark, with the book & movie selection, robes, and even tea & popcorn. I've never stayed somewhere and wanted to stay indoors my whole vacation!

It was nice to get away from 7 kids and enjoy our 17 anniversary for a couple of nights with your B&B. We were able to relax and luxuriate in such a beautiful setting. It was nice to see 3 bucks feeding in the evening on the grass and leaves. The muffins were terrific! Thank you for a great time.

Room: 1) The suite was beautiful. 2) They had thought of almost everything we might need. 3) Lots of extra towels and linens, three fans, scissors, and even toys. 4) Scented rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to use as a "green" bug spray. Safety Issues: 1) When we arrived, there was a note on the locked office door saying our room was ready. When we got to the suite, the door was open and the keys were inside. 2) There were no flashlights like the book said would be there, which became an issue when we discovered…3) Our porch light did not work. The deadbolt didn't work as it was misaligned. Light in parking lot turned on & off sporadically, more off than on. 4) Couldn't find a soul that worked there. Cleaning: 1) Spiderweb (spider incl) and tons of dust in the tub. 2) Brass bed had finger smudges and film of dust. 3) Two exterior doors and mirrored closet door had finger smudges. 4) One bathroom sink had film of dust above eye level. 4) Patio was covered with tree debris. Grounds: 1) Wooden play set appeared quite weathered. Entire area around the set had standing water and/or squishy mud. 2) Couldn't find the llamas. 3) Found a dirt pen housing geese & chickens-food dish was filled to the brim with rain water. 4) B&B grounds had a neglected feeling-overgrown with weeds and underbrush. 5) Many wasps flying around. Food: No breakfast was served either day. Service: 1) Communication with owner is virtually nil. We have made numerous attempts to communicate with Susie before and after our stay. All we have received from her are "form" emails, one saying that our reservation was booked and one saying that we still owe $48, to which we cannot get a reason why. 2) Wasn't informed of the wedding party-they took all the parking spots. 3) Didn't feel welcome, nor did we feel our business was appreciated. Needless to say, we would NOT recommend this place to anyone.

The Black Forest B&B has 4 homes on 10 acres. At the front door of our Main House it states if no one hears the doorbell, to call my cell phone. There are also notes on all the guest doors with my number and the guest's name on it. That system has worked since 1990. Since we are in a secure area, the doors are unlocked with the keys inside. A salesman from KGB Deals, had me try an online promotion. He added up my room rates from $75 to $225, divided by 7 rooms, came up with an average of $160 per room and had me offer a 2 night stay for $99 paid to KGB. We were overwhelmed and to manage our bookings to accommodate the larger occupancy than we were accustomed to, all the rooms with full kitchens were cabin rentals. Our Ark Suite is our most upscale suite. It is 600 square feet, has a living room with a fireplace, a king sized bedroom with a private patio, a 5 piece bath with a jetted tub, and a kitchen. It rents for $200 per night. It just had the surprise inspection by AAA where all the doors and locks are tested and passed. Our outdoor lights are motion lights That go off when they are not needed except for the light on the Ark that is on all night. Our wooden playset is very busy with our young summer guests. Because we have free roaming bunnies, we do not spray any pesticides here and being that we are in the woods, do get wasps, spiders, etc. The wintergreen rubbing alcohol when sprayed on the offending insect will kill it, disinfect where it was and not harm the guest. A week earlier, my housekeeper, a single mom with 8 children, asked me if she could have a wedding on Sunday afternoon with around 20 guests. They had a quick ceremony under our pavilion, with the rain falling around it, and a cake and punch reception.

I absolutely loved staying here! The view was great, the location in the heavily pined area gave a feeling of being remote, but yet so close to stores and the freeway for traveling to places I wanted to experience. The owner Susie was very sweet, hospitable and interesting to get to know a little. This was very reasonably priced and the Sunday morning cinnamon roll was fantastic!! I loved the set up here- I stayed in the "Hers" room. I had my privacy, yet interact with Susie if I chose to as she attended her work on the grounds.

It was a real treat for us to spend the night at the Black Forest B&B. There were beautiful accomodations of the log cabin sort. Such a nice place. We were away from the city, out in the trees, with the beautiful Rocky Mountains in the distance. How could it get any better!

We were in Colorado Springs for a friend's memorial service. Black Forest B&B was a nice respite. We stayed in the Ark, an upgrade from our reservation, which is a nice cabin with living area, kitchen, and bedroom. It was very quiet and relaxing. We were able to walk the grounds and view the mountains each eve. While the atmosphere is very laid back, we felt welcome. Breakfast of muffin and fruit, coffee, milk, and orange juice. Would recommend to people not expecting high end luxury, but clean, comfortable and peaceful.

We stayed here for our anniversary a few years back. When I saw the option to write a review I just had to, because our stay was so wonderful. My husband and I stayed in the Barn, it was huge and beautifully decorated with more Ark decor than I've ever seen anywhere. It would easily accomidate a large group comfortably. The location is out of the city enough that it was quiet and relaxing. The Owners were very gracious and the breakfast was wonderful. This B&B remains in my mind the one against to judge all others we've stayed. It was perfect for a relaxing weekend.

Sports Editor
LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
I am in the market for a new NFL team to root for. I have actually been searching for the past couple of years, ever since Indianapolis let Peyton Manning go. Not that I was that big of an Indy fan.
If truth be told I have been looking for a team to root for since Baltimore moved to Indianapolis back in the 1984. Once that happened I didn't cheer for the Colts for many, many years. In fact I hated the team, no wait, the Irsay family for uprooting my Colts from Baltimore and depositing them in Indiana. Once that day happened I packed away my Bert Jones No. 7 Baltimore jersey and to this day I'm not sure what ever became of it.
Since that time my allegiances have changed more than Hugh Hefner switches girlfriends. For the longest time I was a New Orleans Saints fan through their darkest days. I was filled with joy once the one-time laughing stock of the league won the Super Bowl, but ever since that day, something changed. I still like the Saints, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to go steady with them.
Same with the Green Bay Packers. I backed the Pack through Brett Favre's glory days, but still something keeps me from totally devoting myself to them. Maybe I'm afraid of commitment.
Cincinnati would be the obvious choice, since they are the closest franchise and they do sport my two favorite colors in black and orange. I won't rule them out of the running, but I don't see it happening.
One thing I can guarantee is that it won't be Dallas. I have loathed the Cowboys for oh so many years, and that won't change. And even though I like Peyton Manning I have never been a fan of the Denver Broncos. Still I want them to win it all this year more to rub it in Indy's face for letting Manning go. But I have never liked the Broncos.
I kind of liked Oakland back in the 1970s. They, along with Baltimore, were my two choices to win the AFC every year. But for one reason or another they have lost their luster with me.
I could be a bandwagon fan and wait until after the Super Bowl and become a fan of whichever team wins it. But being a winner isn't that high in my book, which is obvious since I rooted for the Saints. And geography has nothing to do with it. I can root for a team that's 200 miles or 2,000 miles away.
I think I have narrowed it down to two teams: Minnesota and San Diego. I always liked Minnesota growing up; they were my favorite NFC franchise, along with Washington. San Diego has just recently entered the conversation.
Why Minnesota and San Diego? What can I say, I like the uniforms. Purple has always been one of my favorite colors, while the Chargers' uniforms are crisp and colorful, especially when they wear the old powder blue jerseys.
And for me to like a team they have to look good. As the old saying goes, it isn't whether you win or lose, it's how good you look.

PERFECT little bites of deliciousness! It also works perfectly with frozen blueberries, which is all I had.
We topped them with some sour cream that I sweetened with powdered sugar and a little lemon juice, and they were even better!

love it.
Reviewed Feb. 11, 2011
I have made these twice in two days. They are easy to make. I decided to coat the berries in a mixture of 1 tsp of flour and three Tbs of confectionary sugar. It makes for a more pie type filling as it is more sweet and the berries don't taste as raw. Either way is delicious. I also topped them with cinnamon sugar before baking. Fantastic. The only "problem" was I ate them both!
Reviewed Aug. 3, 2010
This is a definite favorite for my husband and I! Quick and easy, and super tasty!

Men's Golf Holds Fourth Place at 2010 A-Sun Championship
BRASELTON, Ga. – After the opening round of the 2010 A-Sun Championship, the FGCU men's golf team is fourth in the field of 11 at the Legends Course at Chateau Elan in Braselton, Ga. Sophomore Brandon Pena (Clewiston, Fla.) is tied for fourth, while three other Eagles are in the top 25 overall.

Auburn Main Jail
The present main jail facility, at 2775 Richardson Drive, Auburn, opened in July, 1985, at a construction cost of $4.5 million. Funding was provided by Proposition 4, the first of three jail funding measures. The California State Board of Corrections (BOC) rated the original structure for 108 inmates, a total that was exceeded immediately. Within two months of operation, the total reached 148. By 1990, the population had increased to 272 inmates, far above the BOC allowable number of 108. +more
In 1990, a Federal court order restricting our daily population to 148 gave impetus to construction of a 260-bed addition to the jail, an addition that opened in April 1992. The new housing wing was constructed at a cost of $3.5 million, with funding provided through Propositions 52 and 96. It consists of three medium security dorms, two with a capacity of 92 inmates each, and one with a capacity of 44 inmates; and one maximum-security module with a capacity of 32 inmates. The dormitory housing units are of the direct-supervision type, with a custody offer stationed inside each of the dorms, and indirect supervision from a housing booth. With BOC approval, most of our cells have been doubled-bunked.
The minimum-security barracks was housed in buildings that were originally World War II Army warehouses, built in 1941. The facility consisted of three housing units, two male and one female, with a combined capacity of 160 inmates, making the total capacity of the Auburn Main Jail 646 (this total includes six beds located in the infirmary). 05/31/2014 the Minimum Security Barracks located at the Auburn Main Jail was closed and the inmates were moved to the South Placer Jail facility.
South Placer Jail
Placer County began construction of a new jail facility in 2008 after an assessment identified additional jail capacity as a need to address future growth. The South Placer location in the Santucci Justice Center is part of a larger, multi-year planned development to meet the needs of our county residents. +more
Phase one of the jail was largely completed in 2012. The building is approximately 200,000 square feet and has a rated capacity of 420 inmates. This phase includes a main jail and minimum security complex, kitchen and laundry facility, program services space, visitor and video visitation technology, medical services unit, intake / booking unit, and support services office space. The larger infrastructure currently in place was pre-planned to meet the needs of a larger facility as growth continues, cutting the overall costs of future bed expansion. The eventual build out of the South Placer Jail facility will be a 319,000 square foot facility with capacity for 980 inmates.
In 2011, long after jail construction had begun, the California Legislature enacted Realignment legislation (AB 109, 2011). By the time the new jail was completed in 2012, population impacts of Realignment were being felt in the Auburn facility's Average Daily Population (ADP) and resulted in many inmates being released from custody. However, economic conditions across our nation had not recovered to an extent where sustainable funding was available to open the facility. This would change in late 2013 after many budget discussions and assessments regarding realignment, public safety and the overall health of our local criminal justice processes.
During the fiscal year 2013/2014, Placer County introduced a budget to begin operating the South Placer Jail. This phased opening includes a 4-pod housing unit at the South Placer main jail and two minimum security pods, for a starting capacity of 240 inmates. A gradual, further expansion of existing bed space is planned as sustainable funding becomes available.
As part of this multi-year approach, the Auburn Minimum Security facility has been closed down. The aging, World War 2 era facility met the needs of our county from 1983 to 2014, but is no longer cost effective, or safely viable as a detention facility.
Staff for the South Placer Jail includes Correctional Officers, Deputy Sheriff's, Support Services staff, and contracted medical and programs personnel. To off-set opening costs at the South Placer Jail, staff from the Auburn Minimum Security were transferred to the South Placer Facility when the older facility was closed.

One of the big issue with high MP count sensors is diffraction, and with this camera diffraction begins at only f/5.6, many will say that it only begins there, but you really will notice the effect at f/11 and probably at f/8. Cameras like the 5D MkII begin diffraction at f/13.
The problem then is control of DoF, fine if you're using fast primes, but as a landscape camera? Well maybe then it's not the best choice to make
Yes but just to clarify for people who aren't familiar with the physics. Diffraction effects are caused by the lens, specifically the aperture (light bends when it passes an edge, creates bands through a slit, and rings through a small circular opening). The smaller the aperture the greater the effects of diffraction. The sensor itself does not cause any diffraction but as the resolution goes up for a given sensor size (smaller pixel pitch) the sensor will begin to resolve the diffraction effects and cause a softening of the image that offsets the increase in sharpness (and depth of field) that would otherwise be achieved by using the smaller aperture. Therefore, for a given sensor it can be stated at what aperture this effect begins to be noticeable.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS – Their Instagram/Twitter feud won't go down in NBA annals as one of the classic dust ups, but nice guys Kevin Durant and Dwyane Wade beefing, even if it's just temporary, adds a nice layer of pre-training camp drama for the rest of us.
It started out simple enough. Durant said publicly during a Tuesday interview with CineSport that he would choose his ex-Oklahoma City Thunder teammate, James Harden, over Wade for a spot in a top 10 players list. That's when Durant was informed that Wade was included in the top 10 of Sports Illustrated's ranking of the best players in the league and Harden was not.
Wade took exception and responded via Instagram …
… and Durant fired back via Twitter …
Show me don't tweet me..—
Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) September 25, 2013
And that leaves us with a two guys who rank among the league's truly elite tossing barbs back and forth with training camps set to open around the league in just days.
Wade's Heat and Durant's Thunder head into the season as the favorites to represent their respective conferences in The Finals, so we might not get an appropriate conclusion to this affair for quite some time, if at all. Not that there was extra hype needed, those two regular season matchups between the Heat and Thunder just got another piece of flesh for everyone to chew on.

"To be roped up means placing your complete trust in someone else. This is not calculated, it just happens. Those who have never experienced this trust have no idea what it means. The bond between the members of a rope team is powerful in its simplicity. We spend entire days without uttering a word to each other, yet there is a symbiotic relationship. What is this aspect of friendship exactly? It is that of human adventure, the type of adventure that builds character and makes us who we are. It is not just about performance. All of these years form a whole. The cumulated learning of each experience glued together, the loyalty, and the range of emotions one feels, all of this justifies the effort to train and to push the edge of the envelope."

Citation management tools help you manage your research, collect and cite sources, and create bibliographies in a variety of citation styles. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses, but any are easier than doing it by hand!
It's always good to double check the formatting -- sometimes the software doesn't get it quite right.
|"Ethics, copyright laws, and courtesy to readers require authors to identify the sources of direct quotations and of any facts or opinions not generally known or easily checked."--

Why cite sources?
Whenever you quote or base your ideas on another person's work, you must document the source you used. Even when you do not quote directly from another work, if reading that source contributed to the ideas presented in your paper, you must give the authors proper credit.
Citations allow readers to locate and further explore the sources you consulted, show the depth and scope of your research, and give credit to authors for their ideas. Citations provide evidence for your arguments and add credibility to your work by demonstrating that you have sought out and considered a variety of resources. In written academic work, citing sources is standard practice and shows that you are responding to this person, agreeing with that person, and adding something of your own. Think of documenting your sources as providing a trail for your reader to follow to see the research you performed and discover what led you to your original contribution.Read more

Your instructor may want you to use "peer reviewed" articles as sources for your paper. Or you may be asked to find "academic," "scholarly," or "refereed" articles. What do these terms mean?
Let's start with the terms academic and scholarly, which are synonyms. An academic or scholarly journal is one intended for a specialized or expert audience. Journals like this exist in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Examples include Nature, Journal of Sociology, and Journal of American Studies. Scholarly/academic journals exist to help scholars communicate their latest research and ideas to each other; they are written "by experts for experts."
Most scholarly/academic journals are peer reviewed; another synonym for peer reviewed is refereed. Before an article is published in a peer-reviewed journal, it's evaluated for quality and significance by several specialists in the same field, who are "peers" of the author. The article may go through several revisions before it finally reaches publication.
Magazines like Time or Scientific American, newspapers, (most) books, government documents, and websites are not peer-reviewed, though they may be thoroughly edited and fact-checked. Articles in scholarly journals (in printed format or online) usually ARE peer-reviewed.
How can you tell if an article is both scholarly and peer-reviewed?Read more

|Losing faith in government
By Cal Thomas
Now for some good news, and it has nothing to do with the birth of the royal baby.
According to a USA Today/Bipartisan Policy Center poll, "Americans by more than 2-1 say the best way to make positive changes in society is through volunteer organizations and charities, not by being active in government." Even better news: People under 30 are especially put off by politics and are "significantly less likely than their parents to say participating in politics is an important value in their lives."Why is this good news? There are at least two reasons.

Southern California residents are digging out of the muck after several days of rain.
An evacuation order was lifted Wednesday morning for more than 500 California homes on hillsides vulnerable to mudslides, authorities said.
Residents of 44 homes evacuated because of potential mud and debris slides triggered by heavy rains north of Los Angeles were allowed to return home Sunday after the weather improved, authorities said.
Mourners gathered Saturday to remember two California firefighters who died last month battling the largest fire in the history of Los Angeles County.
Firefighters battling a massive blaze north of Los Angeles have stopped the fire from spreading while increasing the percentage of containment, officials said Monday.
A massive fire that has charred more than 147,000 acres in Southern California and destroyed dozens of homes north of Los Angeles was caused by arson, a U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman said Thursday.
An increase in humidity on Thursday has helped firefighters in southern California get a handle on the massive fire that has charred nearly 145,000 acres and destroyed dozens of homes.
Brian Todd reports on the scramble to evacuate people from areas threatened by Los Angeles fires.,
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger gives an update on efforts to fight wildfires in southern California.
The investigation into the massive Station fire north of Los Angeles is underway with authorities working to determine how the raging fire started, fire officials in California said Wednesday.
Bone-dry conditions in an area that has not seen a major fire in more than 60 years pushed a Southern California wildfire from 45,000 acres to more than 100,000 acres in a matter of hours Monday, fire officials said.
Two firefighters died Sunday battling a wildfire in Los Angeles County, according to Deputy Fire Chief Michael Bryant.
Fires in central and southern California raged Saturday as triple-digit temperatures mixed with dry conditions continued to fuel the flames, torching thousands of acres and threatening scores of homes.
Wildfires driven by hurricane-strength winds tore through Southern California on Saturday for the second day in a row, destroying hundreds of homes, displacing thousands of people and forcing freeway closures and rotating blackouts.
Fire officials prepared late Sunday for rapid growth of a wildfire blazing 20 miles north of downtown with the expected arrival of strong, dry wind gusts overnight.
Heavy snow in Los Angeles leaves travellers backed up.
Sizzling heat and shifting winds hindered firefighters trying to contain a wildfire moving across the Santa Clarita foothills northwest of Los Angeles on Sunday, prompting authorities to order hundreds of residents to evacuate.
A 14,000-acre wildfire forced more than 1,000 people to evacuate their homes in Lake Hughes as the blaze swept across Angeles National Forest, fire officials said Friday.

It it turning into the worst-case scenario for the MTA as storm surges from Sandy batter New York City.
The agency that runs the subway system reports that up to four feet of seawater is entering subway tunnels. Some reports indicated that tunnels under the East River were flooded, but the MTA's Twitter feed said the condition is "unknown."
Stations in Lower Manhattan were also taking on water, according to an MTA Twitter account.
The Queens-Midtown and Hugh Carey (Brooklyn-Battery) tunnels were also flooded.
The MTA had tried to prepare the system to keep out the saltwater but the surge of water proved to be too much on Monday evening.
Salt can eat at electronic parts and metal that keeps the aging system running.
The MTA had closed the entire subway system on Sunday night.
Before the storm, the MTA said that it could take up to four days to pump out any flooding in the system.

What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This is a big one: do not ignore the sweet lady handing you ice-cold bottles of Fiji Water because you'd rather go back for your fifth glass of wine. The booze is free-flowing at these events, which means it's essential to stay hydrated. Not only will you feel better the next morning, but you're less likely to make a fool out of yourself at the event. Photo: Susannah Chen 2 / 6 Do Wear Shoes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's tempting to kick off your shoes and walk barefoot in the Miami Beach sand, but let's be real, that's probably not the best idea at an event like this. We spotted numerous shards of broken glass and spilled food and drink, among many other things. Keep it safe, keep it classy, and wear shoes to food festivals. Photo: Susannah Chen 3 / 6 Don't Wear a Bikini What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 But at least she's got her shoes on, right? Seriously, though, these festivals may seem like one giant party, but they're still industry events. While a full-blown pantsuit isn't necessary while you're kicking through sand on the beach, a bikini and heels just doesn't cut it. Photo: Susannah Chen 4 / 6 Do Arrive Early What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you hate being elbowed and pushed as you reach for a plate of tuna poke or a St. Germain cocktail, make sure to arrive early. These events fill up and if crazy-drunk crowds aren't your thing, give yourself a little breathing room by being prompt. An hour after we snapped this picture, the tent became a madhouse. Photo: Camilla Salem 6 / 6 Do Wear Sunglasses What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sunglasses at food festivals are essential, but not for the reason you might think. Wear big dark shades to hide your reactions to any crazy, ZOMG moments, and trust us, there will be many!

Yarn shop owner enjoys downtown location
PLATTSBURGH — A local business owner has enjoyed her first year in business downtown.
Susan Coonrod opened Plattsburgh Yarn and Gifts at 16 Brinkerhoff St. the second week of July 2012. She has long been an avid knitter, and enjoys the craft with her daughter, Rosie DeLise.
"I grew up with my mother (Margaret McCaw) and grandmother (Alma Coonrod) making everything," she said.
As she approached retirement from Beekmantown Central School, where she was Middle School principal and an art teacher, she made the decision to open the store.
"If you don't do it now, you're never going to do it," Coonrod told herself.
Owned Essex shop
Coonrod said she had owned a small gift shop in Essex one summer in the late '90s, so she knew how to open and operate a business. She used input from her daughter and other friends to decide what yarns she should carry.
The goal was to carry affordable, quality yarns and a variety of fibers, as well as high-end fibers such as bamboo and alpaca. Some of her best-selling yarns include Plymouth, Cascade, Malabrigo, Brown Sheep, Berroco, Rowan, James C. Brett, Trendsetter and Universal Yarns.
Plattsburgh Yarn and Gifts carries locally made products from places such as Brown Dog Fiber Arts Studio and Mountain Meadows Farm in Ray Brook.
There is also a full line of knitting and crocheting supplies, including interchangeable sets of knitting needles.
"Circular needles are becoming the thing. They are now more popular than straight needles," Coonrod said.
Coonrod offers handmade stoneware she makes under the Earth Mother label. That includes bowls, mugs, pins, stitch markers and more. She said yarn bowls are popular gifts to give to any knitting enthusiast.
"I couldn't keep them on the shelves before Christmas," Coonrod said.
Offers local products
There are several Earth Mother Clothing Company items on display. Those are billed as recycled, comfortable, fun, one-of-a-kind garments.
Plattsburgh Yarn and Gifts also offers a number of locally manufactured products. Those include art cards made by DeLise under the name Atomic Whale Designs, knitting bags by Renee Hall and Julie Fredette, yarn swifts by Dave Devoe and Sharon Roraback, tote bags by McCaw and crocheted bookmarks by Carole Meccio, the latter of which are to benefit the American Cancer Society.
The shop has received a warm reception from knitting enthusiasts.
"The customers who came in spread the word like wildfire," Coonrod said. "They were so happy to have a yarn shop in Plattsburgh."
Two community service projects are near and dear to her heart. She started the Keep Kids Warm project last year to provide mittens, hats and scarves to children at nine local elementary schools and the local Women, Infants and Children office.
The effort started with a simple donation box at the shop, which quickly filled up repeatedly. More than 300 items were donated as of March.
The second is The Knockers Project. She and other volunteers knit prosthetic breasts that are given to the Fitzpatrick Cancer Center at CVPH Medical Center for those who have had breast cancer.
The Knockers Project is a nation-wide campaign she learned about from a friend and breast-cancer survivor.
Sale to be held
Coonrod is holding a first-anniversary sale, with green tags marking sale prices that are good until Aug. 15.
Plattsburgh Yarn and Gifts offers a number of classes and workshops.
"This area is crafty. There are many people who like to do things with their hands," she said.
The schedule is available on the website, www.plattsburghyarnandgifts.com.
Coonrod is a participant in the recently re-launched downtown business owners coalition, the Downtown Business Visitors Association. She said it has been nice to meet the various business owners and learn about what they have to offer, experiences that can't be found at many larger businesses.
"It's very exciting to be a part of this organization," Coonrod said. "I think downtown can become a destination all of its own."
She is also taking part in the First Weekend events organized by the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts and Adirondack Young Professionals. Coonrod said it has been nice to see how many people have been attracted to the area by the street musicians and discounts at local businesses.
Community support cited
She is extremely appreciative of all the customers who have visited the shop.
"I really thank the community for supporting my effort. It has been a humbling experience."
Plattsburgh Yarn and Gifts accepts cash, checks and major credit cards, and gift certificates are available. Store hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.
For more information, visit www.plattsburghyarnandgifts.com or call 563-3647.

Lights return to lower Manhattan, but frustration grows in outer areas over gas, power
NEW YORK (AP) -- The lights were back on Saturday in lower Manhattan, prompting screams of sweet relief from residents who had been plunged into darkness for nearly five days by Superstorm Sandy. But that joy contrasted with deepening resentment in the city's outer boroughs and suburbs over a continued lack of power and maddening gas shortages.
Adding to the misery of those without power, heat or gasoline were dipping temperatures. Mayor Michael Bloomberg urged older residents without heat to move to shelters and said 25,000 blankets were being distributed across the city.
"We're New Yorkers, and we're going to get through it," the mayor said. "But I don't want anyone to think we're out of the woods."
Bloomberg also said that resolving gas shortages could take days. Lines snaked around gas stations for many blocks all over the stricken region, including northern New Jersey, where Gov. Chris Christie imposed rationing that recalled the worst days of fuel shortages of the 1970s.
Perhaps nowhere was the scene more confused than at a refueling station in Brooklyn, where the National Guard gave out free gas -- an effort to alleviate the situation. There, a mass of honking cars, desperate drivers and people on foot, carrying containers from empty bleach bottles to five-gallon Poland Spring water jugs, was just the latest testament to the misery unleashed by Sandy.
Dems upbeat about holding onto Senate; GOP pursues last chances to grab control
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republicans vigorously pursued their last, longshot chances for taking control of the Senate -- Pennsylvania topped their list -- as Democrats remained cautiously optimistic that they'd retain their narrow majority after Tuesday's suspense-filled elections.
In the final days of a caustic campaign marked by negative ads, more than $1 billion in spending and the direct impact of a close White House race between President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney, Democrats who were once considered a sure-fire bet to lose the Senate were upbeat about flipping Republican seats in Maine and Massachusetts and holding most of the 23 seats they're defending this year.
GOP candidates' statements on rape and abortion proved to be self-inflicted political wounds that could cost the party Indiana and undermined its chances of taking down a vulnerable Democrat in Missouri. Incumbent Democrats considered in jeopardy at the start of the election cycle managed to counter a barrage of outside spending and were on track to keep their seats in Michigan and Florida.
Democrats hold a 53-47 Senate edge but Republicans are defending only 10 seats Tuesday. Retirements in 10 states proved the most vexing for both parties.
Democrats were counting on holding the open seat in Hawaii, were unsure whether former Sen. Bob Kerrey's late surge would work in Nebraska and considered Virginia, Wisconsin and North Dakota toss-ups. New Mexico leaned Democratic but was a bit uncertain after the national parties left the two candidates -- Democratic Rep. Martin Heinrich and former GOP Rep. Heather Wilson -- to fend for themselves.
Availability of electricity explains why some areas have enough gas and some still don't
NEW YORK (AP) -- It's a question that's rankled and bewildered many in the Northeast: Why do some areas struck by Superstorm Sandy have plenty of gasoline and others still don't?
It turns out we need electricity to drive. Even if we're driving cars that run on gasoline. And many areas still have no power.
Without electricity, gasoline can't be pumped from refineries, through pipelines, off tanker ships, out of terminals or from gas stations into Toyotas, Chevys and Fords.
"The problem will go away when the power is restored, and it won't go away if it's not," said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service.
The gasoline crisis is expected to end within days as electricity comes back on in most areas of the Northeast.
AP PHOTOS: Long gas lines after destructive Sandy
NEW YORK (AP) -- Filling stations with "No Gas" signs taped to the pumps are confronting drivers across New York City and coastal New Jersey amid fuel shortages following Superstorm Sandy.
Those lucky enough to find stations with gas for sale face long lines to reach the pumps.
The gas crisis is expected to end within days as electricity comes back across the region, allowing fuel to be pumped from refineries, through pipelines, off tanker ships, out of terminals and to gas stations.
But in the meantime, getting gas for vehicles and home generators can mean protracted hunts for open stations and then hours spent in line.
In Staten Island, drivers seemed to be taking the long wait with calm. Sammy Cruz sat for three hours Saturday and still had 20 cars in front of him.
Syrian tanks enter demilitarized zone bordering Israel, first time in 4 decades
BEIRUT (AP) -- Three Syrian tanks entered the demilitarized zone in the Golan Heights on Saturday, Israel said, raising concerns violence from Syria's civil war could heat up a long-quiet frontier that has not seen such an incursion in nearly 40 years.
Israel complained to U.N. peacekeepers present in the area, a relatively low-key response that suggested it did not see the Syrian armor as an immediate threat. But the entry marks the most serious spillover of Syria's turmoil to date at the frontier, where stray ordnance has exploded on the Israeli side in the past.
Neighboring countries are dealing with a variety of incidents linked to the conflict -- Turkey exchanged artillery fire with Syria for a week last month, while Jordan has seen several shootings at the border and clashes linked to the uprising against President Bashar Assad have broken out in Lebanon.
Some in Israel worry that that if Assad goes, the country could fall into the hands of Islamic extremists or descend into sectarian warfare that would destabilizing the region. Islamic fighters -- some from abroad -- are increasingly taking part in key engagements alongside the rebels.
Inside Syria on Saturday for example, Islamic militants took part in a dawn assault on a strategic airbase in the north of the country. The attack, reported by activists, aimed to disrupt strikes by government warplanes and helicopters that are pounding rebel-held towns.
Hour by hour: What to watch on Election Night; will the suspense linger well into Wednesday?
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Stock up on munchies and make sure the batteries in your TV remote are fresh. With this year's presidential election razor-close to the finish, Tuesday could be a long night.
Even if the presidency isn't decided until after midnight EST, there will be plenty of clues early in the evening on how things are going for President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney. Obama has more options for piecing together the 270 electoral votes needed for victory, so any early setbacks for Romney could be important portents of how the night will end.
Here's a timetable for armchair election watchers on how the night will unfold, based on what time the last polls close in each state. All times are EST.
--7 p.m.: Polls close in six states but all eyes will be on Virginia, the first of the battleground states to begin reporting results. If either candidate is comfortably ahead in Virginia, with 13 electoral votes, that could be a leading indicator of which way the night is going.
Virginia typically has been fairly fast at counting ballots. But there's a new voter ID law in the state that could complicate things this year. Voters who don't bring identification to the polls still can have their ballots counted if they produce ID by Friday. If the race in Virginia is super tight, it could come down to those provisional ballots. On Election Night, no one will even know how many of them are out there.
Navy removes top officers of San Diego-based frigate after boozy Russian port visit
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- The commander and top officers of a San Diego-based Navy frigate have been relieved of duty after a rowdy, booze-fueled port visit to Vladivostok, Russia.
Cmdr. Joseph E. Darlak, skipper of the USS Vandegrift, was removed Friday by Capt. John L. Schultz after an investigation "due to loss of confidence after demonstrating poor leadership and failure to ensure the proper conduct of his wardroom officers" during the three-day September stop, the Navy said in a statement.
Executive officer Lt. Cmdr. Ivan A. Jimenez and the ship's chief engineer and operations officer were also relieved "for personal conduct involving use of alcohol and not adhering to established liberty policies," the statement said.
The names of the two lower-ranked officers were not released because their positions are not considered public under Navy policy, and Navy officials did not give specifics on the misbehavior of any of the officers.
In a post on the official Facebook page of the Navy's 7th Fleet, the commander celebrated the visit as it began on Sept. 20.
If I am no longer 'undocumented and unafraid,' asks Angy Rivera, what am I?
NEW YORK (AP) -- Angy Rivera glided through the airport as though she owned it, giddy with excitement at her brave new world.
Then she saw the security guards, and froze.
After a lifetime of avoiding any public place where she might be asked for identification, had she just made the biggest mistake of her life? Would she be stopped, arrested, detained -- and deported? Nervously, she handed over her boarding pass.
The security guard barely glanced at her Colombian passport, questioned her about a tube of hair mousse -- and waved her through. Elated, she boarded the plane.
"I am flying for the first time," the 22-year-old criminal justice student from Queens wrote, in a jubilant essay.
Rebel with a cause: George Lucas fought the moviemaking empire before he built one
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- There's no mistaking the similarities. A childhood on a dusty farm, a love of fast vehicles, a rebel who battles an overpowering empire -- George Lucas is the hero he created, Luke Skywalker.
His filmmaking outpost, Skywalker Ranch, is so far removed from the Hollywood moviemaking machine he once despised, that it may as well be on the forest moon of Endor.
That's why this week's announcement that Lucas is selling the "Star Wars" franchise and the entire Lucasfilm business to The Walt Disney Co. for more than $4 billion is like a laser blast from outer space.
Lucas built his film operation in Marin County near San Francisco largely to avoid the meddling of Los Angeles-based studios. His aim was to finish the "Star Wars" series-- his way.
Today the enterprise has far surpassed the 68-year-old filmmaker's original goals. The ranch covers 6,100 acres and houses one of the industry's most acclaimed visual effects companies, Industrial Light & Magic. Lucasfilm, with its headquarters now in San Francisco proper, has ventured into books, video games, merchandise, special effects and marketing. Just as Anakin Skywalker became the villain Darth Vader, Lucas --once the outsider-- had grown to become the leader of an empire.
Saturday night special: Yeldon's 28-yard TD in final minute leads No. 1 Alabama past LSU 21-17
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- T.J. Yeldon took a swing pass from A.J. McCarron and went 28 yards for a touchdown with 51 seconds remaining, giving top-ranked Alabama a stunning 21-17 victory over No. 5 LSU on a raucous Saturday night in Death Valley.
The Crimson Tide (9-0, 6-0 Southeastern Conference) showed it could come from behind after Zach Mettenberger rallied the Tigers (7-2, 3-2) from a 14-3 halftime deficit.
LSU had a chance to put the game away in the closing minutes, driving into Alabama territory and forcing the Tide to use its timeouts. But Drew Alleman missed a field goal, and McCarron took over. He completed three straight passes before reading an LSU blitz, flipping a pass to Yeldon. The freshman broke one tackle and faked out another defender for the winning TD.

Banana flavor too strong. Family did not like the combination.

I thought this was really delicious, the banana flavor really stood out!
I used a yam in with the sweet potatoes, so the finished dish was a little discolored, but still just as tasty!
Reviewed Nov. 25, 2009
Tasty and a nice sweetness to the sweet potatoes without adding sugar. I might add a touch of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice next time in place of the curry powder.
