Old School Comfort
I have been craving comfort food and shepherd's pie- even though it's been a warm and breezy week here by the Chama River north of Santa Fe. The promise of Spring is tugging at our sluggish winter bodies, cracking and stiff and a tad thicker than one would care to admit. We are itchy to walk- just as the junipers are shedding pollen in curtains of dirty yellow. We walked and sneezed and rubbed gritty eyes.
Karina's Irish Cottage Pie | Shepherd's Pie Recipe
Traditional comfort food for those of you still shoveling snow- or battling juniper pollen. Well, traditional with a few tweaks. We used organic grass fed buffalo. And no dairy at all- no butter or milk. You can use the more traditional ground beef in this recipe, if you prefer. It would be tasty with ground turkey, too. Or even keep it vegan with kidney beans or tofu. It's all good. Spring is almost here. Really. It is.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Place the potatoes in a pot of fresh salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until under fork tender.

Baltimore Half Marathon by Mare - almost 2 years ago
"I wore my customink shirt at the Baltimore Half Marathon on October 13, 2012. I walked 13.1 miles for The Free to Breathe Foundation and The National Kidney Foundation. I was able to raise $500 for each charity and on the back I was also able to thank my family and my two mentors. I decided to do this shirt with iron on transfers initially, but when I saw an advertisement for customink I decided to check it out. Thinking it would be too expensive to have the design and the front and back and much to my surprise it was really inexpensive. I spoke to customer service to make sure I could have the shirt in 2 1/2 weeks since my race was coming up. My shirt arrived several days before the guaranteed date and I was thrilled with the shirt. Vibrant colors and my mentors in particular where touched when I took a picture the night before my race and emailed it to them. I will be back to order more shirts for other charity events that I have in 2013."

Control systems are being installed in many venues with graphical interfaces to provide realtime monitoring and control, but with systems today having 20, 30, or even more devices to handle from a single location, the amount of information can become overwhelming. So here are some ideas on how to use Context Aware Monitoring and Control (CAMC, pronounced CAM-SEE) to provide a more useful interface for your client, based on the current state of your control system.
Group Events
Make it easier for staff members to see the overall state of the system and access more detailed information with the press of a button. For example, if a projector on the second floor of a building responds with an error, use a "Home Page" to show that an event has occurred on that floor with a graphical indicator. Then, provide a "Go to Event" button to display more detailed status information about the most recent event. Include, for example, in which room the projector is located, whether the room is in use, and if the projector requires immediate attention. This approach provides fast access to the most recent event while providing a clean and easy to use interface.
Automate Event Tracking
Whether working out the timings for some new media or performing routine maintenance, it can be helpful to make the monitoring and control interface change automatically. The interface should display the most important information for the current scene without having to search through multiple pages of controls.
Consider a 30-minute theatre presentation that includes audio, video, and lighting effects over multiple scenes. Each scene only uses a subset of the total equipment installed in the theatre: Scene 1 uses two audio channels, Scene 2 plays a single channel of video that can be paused for audience interaction, etc. The graphical interface to this theatre's control system would be overwhelming if all of the equipment were on one page. Even if the controls were separated into multiple pages, it could take time to drill down to the desired level, not to mention training. A CAMC approach automatically displays only the equipment relevant to the current scene. As the control system progresses through each scene, the interface changes to provide the information and controls necessary for the presentation. This makes it easy to check audio status in Scene 1 and then pause or resume the video in Scene 2.
Restrict System Access
There may be times when the control system should not be touched. For example, when the system is in night-mode, and there are no guests in the building. There may be maintenance or security staff that do not require the control system to be active, but must work around its components as a part of their nightly routine. To prevent accidental changes to the system, force the touchscreen interface to require an unlock code for access. This still allows a single point of access while locking out control from other locations. The result protects system components from unauthorized use and can even help save money by lowering usage time of consumables like projector lamps.
Context Aware Monitoring and Control will help build a more robust and easy-to-use interface to the control system. It will also provide a means to access information in greater detail, and faster, than from a static system. With control systems growing in size and complexity every day, it is important to incorporate these features into your design, and your customers will thank you.

I have purchased a total of three of these suits in different colors. I like the variety, as I swim nearly every day. I was happy to find a suit that is available in a "long" as I am pretty tall and long-waisted. My big complaint is that the suit is way too big in the bottom and literally gaps in the seat. This is very unattractive. How can you alter a swim suit to get rid of that gap without ruining the suit? I may have to try the same suit, but not the "long" version.

All 6 colors and patterns of my new Speedo Ultraback swimsuits fit me the same and are just right for my shape. I bought size 16 for 5'5.5" height, 172 lb. weight, 36DD bust, and a Scottish pot belly.

This it the best suit for lap swimming in my indoor pool or Lake Michigan. It's comfy and the long fit is perfect for my long frame. I bought two last month and just bought two more.
Posted by Karen R on 11th Jun 2012
I have the same suit,in a different color, that is a size smaller and I can put it on although with a bit of a struggle. So, I bought this suit, in a size larger, and cannot get it on at all. What a disappointment! The larger size (the new suit!) does not fit.

Brothers caught running drug supply operation
4:23pm Friday 7th February 2014 in News
A MAN who was caught dealing hard drugs on seven occasions over a three-week period has been told he is facing a jail term.
Barry Bramble was arrested after supplying heroin and cocaine on the streets of Swindon, at one point on a daily basis, last September.
The 20-year-old's younger brother Devontae, 18, was also involved in the trade after being spotted selling drugs a few days later.
And the siblings also enlisted the help of three teenagers to act as runners for their supply operation.
The trio, two boys and a girl and all aged 17, each completed drug deals for the Brambles last autumn.
Barry Bramble, of Tydeman Street, Gorse Hill, pleaded guilty to eight counts of supply of class A drugs and one of possession with intent to supply.
He admitted supplying heroin on Thursday, August 29, the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of the following week and cocaine on Sep 3, 5, and 17.
The possession with intent to supply related to heroin and the incident took place on Friday, September 6.
Devontae, who lives with his brother, admitted supplying heroin and cocaine on Wednesday September 25.
One of the girls, from Nythe, supplied heroin and cocaine on Wednesday, August 14 and just heroin the following day.
The other young woman, of Oakhurst, supplied heroin and cocaine on Monday, September 30 and heroin a month later on Wednesday, October 30.
The young boy, from the Kingshill area, admitted one charge of supplying heroin on September 17.
Judge Tim Mousley QC sent the three youngsters to the youth court where they will be sentenced.
He adjourned the case against the Brambles to Friday, February 28 and released them both on conditional bail until then.

On the one hand, going to Oxford Square to announce a commitment to the LSU Tigers over the Mississippi Rebels and Mississippi St. Bulldogs seems like a bad idea. On the other hand, quarterback Jeremy Liggins weighs 270 pounds, and can probably thus announce whatever he likes from pretty much anywhere.
Though he'd reportedly narrowed it down to the two Mississippi schools, 247 Sports' Ole Miss site is reporting he's headed to Baton Rouge. Here's a link, which you can read if you're a member, but here's the gist via the Advocate's Scott Rabalais:
@ScottRabalais 24/7 Sports site Rebels247 reporting that Oxford (Miss.) QB Jeremy Liggins saying he will commit to
Adding the three-star prospect would boost a LSU class that has dipped below its usual expectations, along with assuaging at least some of the concerns that arose after five-star quarterback Gunner Kiel flipped to Notre Dame.

Welcome to Jean Kay's Pasties & Subs
Jean Kay's: Putting the Past Back into Pasties
By Eric C. Hammerstrom
Sometimes the future lies in the past, in the way things used to be. That's exactly how things are for Brian Harsch these days, and that makes him proud for a great many reasons.
After seven years of retirement, Harsch is once again owner of Jean Kay's Pasties & Subs on Presque Isle Avenue in Marquette. His business plan is simple: take the shop back in time more than 20 years, to the days when Harsch made the words "Jean Kay's" synonymous with "Pasty."
"I'm back," Harsch said. "I made a cash offer to the former owners, they accepted it, and I've bought back my family business."
"I could see the business had changed, as any business would," Harsch explained. "But my mom's name was still on it. It wasn't just a financial move; it was a matter of pride."
Harsch said he has already begun putting that pride back into the pasties at Jean Kay's, and thinks the customers will be able to taste it.
"What I've done is very simple," he said. "I've gone back to making the pasties exactly the way I did for 26 years (before I sold the place), back to the way grandma used to. I'll only use the best meats and produce. I'll give the best product I can. Anyone can buy a business, but you can't buy the pride we had in Jean Kays."
That pride was earned through hard work by the Harsch family, who began the story of Jean Kay's when they opened a small bakery in Iron Mountain in December of 1975. Over the next 26 years, the Harsches built a future on the ideals of the past.
Ironically, the dream of Jean Kay's began when Brian failed to graduate from Iron Mountain High School. Out of concern, Harsch's parents bought a storefront and opened a family bakery so their son might learn to work hard and could have a future.
"My parents were selfless," Harsch said. "They gave a great deal of their hard-earned money to a 19-year old who couldn't finish school."
When they started the business, Brian refused to have it named after him; "I didn't want anything that was going to go bankrupt named after me." But Brian's mother believed in him and suggested naming the business after her—"Jean Kay's Sweet Shop."
After going to baking school in Minnesota, Harsch returned to Iron Mountain and began making donuts and other baked goods. Things seemed to be going well at first. Then, big business arrived in Iron Mountain and threatened the existence of the family bakery.
"That's when it all happened," Harsch said. "Mr. Donut came to town. Within a year, our sales had dropped 75-percent. I could see the worry on my parents' faces, and I could feel it when I went to work.
"My dad took on another job, plus working at the shop. I knew we weren't going to survive unless something happened—and it did."
Jean Kay's idea saved the shop from bankruptcy. With the bakery on the brink, she suggested making pasties "like grandma used to make," with high quality meat and fresh produce. Pasties would be popular in Iron Mountain, she argued, where people had always loved the meat and potato pie, a traditional staple to the underground miners in the region.
While commercially-made pasties were available in stores, they were made with ground meat and potatoes and tasted nothing like "grandma's," according to Jean Kay. Making food the old way was the answer, she argued.
The next day, armed with steaks and 100 pounds of potatoes, Brian and his father baked their first batch of Pasties.
"It took eight hours to peel the potatoes and one hour to cube them," Harsch recalls. "And we rolled the crusts out individually and cut them with a #10 can. We were total amateurs and it took us four days to make 100 pasties."
They gave the pasties away to the few customers who stopped in to buy donuts and Jean Kay's Pasty Shop was born.
While the Harsch family had found its niche, it took Brian and his father quite some time, and considerable experimentation, to turn pasties into profit.
"With the advice of friends and bakers I met when I went to donut school, we developed an efficient method of hand-rolling the dough," Brian said. "I could roll out 200 skins (dough for the crust) in two hours with a 25-pound rolling pin." While Brian developed stronger forearms rolling dough, his father solved the problems of potato peeling.
"My dad read in the paper that they'd be auctioning off kitchen equipment at the Veteran's Administration Hospital," Brian said. "And there was the answer—a green/gray machine that weighed a ton. It took four of us to haul it up the stairs and into the shop. But now we could peel and cube 100 pounds of potatoes in less than two hours."
With the purchase of a meat cutting machine that cubed and tenderized the meat at the same time, the family was able to invest in their product instead of production. And the product began to sell.
The pasties did more than save the business from bankruptcy. Encouraged by the popularity of Jean Kay's pasties, Brian's sister suggested expanding and opening a pasty shop in Green Bay. So, in 1977, 21-year-old Brian left Iron Mountain and opened a Jean Kay's in Green Bay.
"Things didn't go very well in Green Bay," Brian said. "They don't eat pasties like yoopers do."Brian's father had taken extensive loans to fund the expansion, and over the course of two years had lost more than $50,000. With the business again headed for bankruptcy, Harsch explained, it was time for another miracle.
In December of 1979, Brian closed the shop in Green Bay, packed his bags and moved to Marquette, Michigan, at the age of 23.
He rented a small building on Presque Isle Avenue, barely big enough to house the equipment it took to make pasties--two huge ovens, the potato peeler, a mixer with a power potato cuber on it and two huge forearms. With no embellishment, he worked 107 hour weeks selling pasties and sub sandwiches in hope of saving his parent's dream and paying back the money lost in Green Bay.
His father never asked for the money, but Brian paid back the entire bank loan in just two years.
"I lived on nothing," he said. "I had an apartment, but almost never went there. I worked, that's it. That was my goal."
The people of Marquette noticed how hard Brian worked, and they could taste it in the pasties he made. Jean Kay's popularity grew and caught the attention another man who had found success through hard work.
"One thing I did right when I moved to Marquette," Brian said, "was that I bought all of my produce from Cohodas and Sons in Ishpeming. Sam Cohodas also happened to own the largest bank in Marquette. In 1985, Mr. Cohodas approached me and told me I needed to expand my business.
"I told him I had no money to expand."
Then Cohodas helped Harsch arrange the purchase of a building on the corner of Presque Isle Avenue and Center Street for $50,000, while the bank financed the remodeling. A new location for Jean Kay's was born. The pasty shop occupies that building today.
Brian paid back his debt to Mr. Cohodas through hard work and good ideas. To increase sales, he began shipping pasties across the country in vacuum packs through UPS, selling enough pasties in that fashion to pay the mortgage in the slow months and to continue expansion in the good months. In his off hours he went back to school and graduated from Marquette Senior High School in 1989.
He continued to make Jean Kay's grow and prosper. The business did so well he could afford to sell it and retire at the age of 44.
Retired from the pasty business, he had more time to spend with his wife, Kathy, and two daughters, Angela and Brianna. Harsch stayed involved with local businesses as a consultant and member of the Kiwanis Club, and tried his hand at other endeavors. He was an insurance adjuster for a time, then bought and sold steel for his brother-in-law throughout the Southern states. But nothing quite filled his desires or gave him the pride he felt in the business he started with his parents. He looks forward to working with Brianna ("Bea") at Jean Kay's this summer, the third generation of Harsches to bake pasties like grandma made.
"So, I'm back," he said. "My mom died in 2003, but my dad is 87 years old and lives in Florida. He's fired up that I'm back at Jean Kay's. And when I walk into the shop, it's all second nature to me.
"We are now all USDA inspected and one of the cleanest kitchens I've ever been in. We'll be making the best product we can, the way we did for all those years."
Harsch added he'll continue shipping pasties coast-to-coast through Jean Kay's website, allowing migrant yoopers the chance to buy pasties like grandma used to make through credit card purchases over the web.
"We're baking for a wedding in May, where we're shipping 120 pasties," Harsch said. "The groom moved away a decade ago. He was 14 years old the last time he had a pasty and it was one of ours. He's 24 now and getting married and Jean Kay's will be there, just like it used to be."
The way it used to be, just like grandma used to make. That's the whole idea.

Installing from source code
Download and unpack the archive, then run from the unpacked directory:
python setup.py install
Your system must be able to compile a C Python extension against the libpq library: you will probably need python-dev and libpq-dev packages.
The pg_config must be available in your path, or alternatively you must specify its full path in the setup.cfg file.
Installing from PyPI
Psycopg is available on the Python Package Index: You can install it with:
pip install psycopg2
You will still need the packages mentioned in Installing from source code in order to install Psycopg.
Installing on Mac OS X
As a first option, please consider using a packaged version of Psycopg from Fink or MacPorts.
If you still want to build Psycopg from source, take a look at these articles.
Installing on Windows
If you want to build on Windows yourself, here is an article with some tips. Building using Microsoft compilers is supported as well.
Jason Erickson's Windows port of Psycopg is still probably the best experience.
Travis Krause has made Jason's packages pip-windows-friendly: you can do for instance:
pip install -e email@example.com:nwcell/psycopg2-windows.git@win64-py33#egg=psycopg2
Choose between win32 or win64 and your Python version: see https://github.com/nwcell/psycopg2-windows for more details.

NEW ALBANY, Ind. (WDRB) -- Three teenage girls are now sought in connection with the New Albany house fire that killed three young children.
Floyd Co. prosecutors told reporters more arrests could possible just days after 18-year-old Cody Cashion was arrested and charged with firing a flare gun into a New Albany home and causing a fire that left three young children dead.
On Friday, Floyd County authorities announced warrants for 19-year-old Kylie Jenks and 18-year old Shelby Makowsky, with another pending against a 17-year-old girl. All are facing a conspiracy to commit arson charge.
"Those three individuals were in the car with Cody Cashion at the time that the flare gun was fired from the car or the vicinity of the car into the home that resulted in the fatal fire," said Floyd County Prosecutor Keith Henderson.
The fire started around 2 a.m. on Jan. 4 at a home off Ealy Avenue near State Street, killing three children: 6-year-old Tai'zah, 4-year-old Tyrese and 2-year-old Trinity.
Henderson said all four teens returned to the scene after learning of the deaths of the three children, found the shell of the flare and threw it away.
The victim's grandmother, Marie Clark, sobbed upon learning the news of three more teens charged in the case.
"My babies got caught in something they didn't have anything to do with," Clark said, noting that the kids did not live in the home that caught fire.
Prosecutors said the children were asleep in a bedroom while their mother was visiting a friend's house to do laundry. Henderson said both adults were outside when the fire started and that he did not expect any more people to be charged in the case.
Clark questioned why the girls didn't go to police after learning the flare had killed the children.
"I pray to God we get them the justice they deserve. They stole their lives."
Five-year-old Taty'ana is the only child who survived the fire. She continues to improve at a hospital in Indianapolis, after suffering burns over 20 percent of her body.
"She's doing great," Clark said, mentioning that her grandchild walked for the first time without assistance at the hospital on Thursday.
Prosecutors also released the probable cause documents that say Cashion fired into the home seeking revenge for a robbery.
The juvenile in the car told investigators Makowsky fired a flare at the home on Ealy Street three days before the fatal fire and missed. The court records say teens also fired a flare at another New Albany home on the night in questions but it landed in the yard and did no damage.
Cashion has already pleaded not guilty to all three charges of murder, and one count of arson.
Investigators say they do not believe Cashion intended to kill the children, who did not live at the home. Police believe he was seeking revenge over a property dispute.
Cashion also faces a charge of attempted murder in Clark County for allegedly intentionally ramming a Clarksville police cruiser, injuring the driver.

More women to get health services under new law

So now the Obama administration can force Catholics, Mormons, orthodox Jews, Muslims and other people religiously opposed to abortion to pay for these services through their insurance premiums. They are running rough shod over the Constitution and many in Mountain View slavishly support them because they agree with their views. Well, when they run over your views there will be no one left to help you.

If my tax dollars can be used for endless ever-expanding wars against anybody that didn't get a Hanukah card from Netanyahu, I suppose they might as well be spent on abortion.
on Aug 2, 2012 at 2:40 pm
Where does it say ANYTHING about abortion? That is the problem. Say a lie loud enough and long enough and it becomes a truth. It's not a truth, it's still a lie. There is nothing about paying for abortion. I have heard many of the arguements from the religous organizations complaining about having to offer contraception which is against their moral views. It is an offer - do they not believe that their people share their moral views? They don't have to use the services, not if they don't believe them to be moral. No one is forcing them to use them, only to offer them.

Sitting, waiting, wondering if he would pick me.
"Julie," CoachMorrow called.
That was it. I wasn't picked. Not this time, I thought tomyself as I watched my best friend run out onto the soccerfield.
"Julie, do you have your school insurance?" hehollered.
"No," she hollered back.
"Sorry, you can'tplay without it." Julie ran back on to the sidelines,disappointed.
These pre-season scrimmages were important not just to getus in shape, but for coaches to see us for the first time, and get an idea ofwhich team to assign us to.
"Sarah" I put my head upquickly.
"Yes," I said, hoping.
"Go onout."
I ran to my position on the field. I was always on the leftwing, against the best forward, the best player on the team.
He told us togo and we did. Each time the ball would move from person to person, my body woulduncontrollably follow. At times not realizing where I was, still aware of mysurroundings, of people moving toward me.
The teams weren't really fair.Varsity girls on one and JV girls on the other. The ball seemed to stay down atmy end of the field, no matter how hard we all tried. They had four pointsagainst us, we had none. We weren't being aggressive, the defense, myselfincluded.
I looked around, Jennifer was coming down the field, closer andcloser, through the last line, whizzing past Alison. I was there waiting.Jennifer wasn't going to get past me.
I started running, running at her. Iwas ready to take the ball. It was spontaneous. I truly didn't know what I wasdoing or what I would do if I got the ball, just that I had to.
I wasthere just a step ahead and the ball would finally be mine! BANG! Our two bodiescollided. Mine was on the ground rolling in pain. Jennifer ran on to score agoal. Nothing was real. Nothing except the pain. Bodies surrounded me and CoachMorrow ran over. My ankle felt disconnected. I was too afraid to look. Mrs.Wilder, the assistant coach, came over. I got up slowly, clinging to theirshoulders as I hobbled to the sidelines. I lay flat on the ground, crying, mybody shaking.
A women EMT who had been watching us came over. She lookeddown at ankle then held my hand and talked to me. I don't even remember what wetalked about. I still cried, but she made me feel safe.
The school nursecame running down the field. She also looked at the ankle. "Why wasn't thereany ice down here?" she asked, looking up from my ankle.
"I amsorry," I responded. She smiled and looked down at me.
"It isn'tyour fault, don't worry," she said wiping away my tears. Mrs. Wilder stoodover me.
"We can put her in the back of my station wagon," shesuggested. There were a mass of questions about telephone numbers and whathospital to go to. Coach Morrow and another women bent down and I was lifted tothe car.
"Thank you so much," I said through tears to the EMT. Iwouldn't see her again. She smiled and the nurse came in and closed the trunkdoor. Mrs. Wilder drove. The nurse and I talked. She was very nice andunderstanding.
We drove right to the Emergency Room. Two nurses helped meonto a stretcher. My ankle was so swollen they had to cut off my sock andshin-guard. They were as gentle as they could be. The two nurses wheeled me intoa room right in front of the main desk. I lay there scared and in pain. The nursecame over with a needle. Jab! Right into my arm. The doctor soon came over andasked me to tell him when it hurt. Of course everything hurt. My pediatriciancame. Coach Morrow came, smelling of cigar smoke. The doctor put me in a splintand I cried in agony. My mouth was getting drier and drier.
As I laywaiting for my x-ray, I was calming down. I didn't think about anything exceptgetting home. Crutches in hand I was loaded back into the car. Mr. Morrowfollowed and we all limped into my house. I laid down on my couch with fourpillows elevating my ankle.
The next day I went to the orthopedist.Fortunately, nothing was broken. The doctor told me a cast would be the wisestthing. For me, that meant crutches on the first day of school. When I was told"No soccer," my heart sunk. All summer I had worked hard to showeveryone I could play.
But this happened for a reason. I went to schoolthe first day sweating and almost ready to cry. When the cast came off, I wore abrace and had physical therapy. Nothing can prepare you for what will happen inlife.
I looked around me at all the people walking, running, doing thethings I wasn't able to do. I finally appreciated something I had always takenfor granted. To be able to walk was the happiest moment. And because of this Ican say I work harder, because I now know that it can all be taken away in aminute. t

Feature Sets
Anglers can easily get lost in all the bells and whistles inherent in marine electronics, says David Dunn, Garmin senior manager for marine sales and marketing. "Once you focus on your needs, it's easier to compare the brands that offer products meeting those requirements. It's important to consider brand reputation, quality of the product, price and support."
One suggestion most manufacturers share involves display size. "Don't get too small a display," says Eric Kunz, Furuno senior product manager. "If you want to use a chart and radar simultaneously, and you get a 7-inch display, that's really pretty small. It's hard to multitask on smaller devices."
For instance, many hard-core offshore anglers buy two displays or monitors (plus plug-in modules) to get even more real estate for watching depth, weather, birds on radar, and ship traffic. If serious tournament fishing is in your future, consider keeping some helm space available for a second screen.
Features and functionality also change from brand to brand. Only you can decide which offers the easiest user interface for your needs. Standing in front of a display at a dealership or boat show and punching buttons is the best way to familiarize yourself with the interface. Do you have to make too many different selections to drill down to the screen you really need? If you fish only periodically, is the machine easy enough to operate so you'll remember from trip to trip?
Do you like touch-screen technology, or are you more secure with buttons and rotary knobs? Practicality is good, but don't shy away from new technology. The newest products operate almost as intuitively as your smartphone. In the case of Furuno's new TZtouch products, the unit tells you when it's time for a software update, Kunz says. During updates, it seamlessly saves your waypoints so nothing is harmed or destroyed.
Finally, when buying your first electronics, consider who will install the package. You might think yourself handy, but many of the complaints heard by customer-service techs involve installation issues. "The quality of the installation has a direct impact on how well the product performs or the perception of how the product performs," Raymarine's McGowan says. "Nine times out of 10, the problem can be traced back to the installation."
Ongoing service can be hampered if you install the equipment yourself. Most likely you'll have to remove the equipment and carry it to a dealer or service center, or ship it back to the manufacturer. In many cases, if a dealer installs the product, he can service it on the boat.
After installation, take time to learn about the electronics. Standard Horizon's Kennedy suggests that if you loathe reading manuals, just call customer service from your boat and ask for an explanation of features. If you're having trouble, shoot a quick video with your smartphone and e-mail it to the company contact.

SALISBURY, Md. - Police are looking for two suspects who allegedly robbed a delivery driver in Wicomico County.
Salisbury Police say on Tuesday night, around 11:40 PM, the food delivery driver arrived at Union Avenue, where he was approached by two people, who displayed weapons. According to the report, the two then stole the food, money, and the victim's wallet, before slashing the his tires, and fleeing. Police reportedly searched the area with K-9 units, but didn't find the suspects.

Jonathan Audy-Marchessault made his debut in a Falcons sweater memorable by notching a hatty and assisting on the other goal as the Falcons dropped the Worcester Sharks 4-3.
Playing as a rookie for the Connecticut Whale last season, JAM scored 24 goals and added 40 assists for 64 points. Of those 64 points, 19 came against the Falcons.
The other Falcons goal was picked up by Ryan Johansen, also making his debut in a Falcons sweater (for the pre-season contest the Falcons wore their road blues). Johan was assisted by, you guessed it: JAM.
Paul Dainton played the whole game for Springfield in the goal, while Mike Clemente served as his backup.
Like many pre-season tilts, this one saw plenty of fists-a-flying with seven separate brawls. Featured on the card were heavyweights Greg Amadio, Cody Bass and Tim Spencer. Also "holden" his own was a returning Nick Holden. Former Shark Nathan Moon also found an element of revenge in dropping the mitts for his new club.
The Falcons return to the MassMutual Center ice tonight at 7PM. They'll be wrapping up the pre-season against the Providence Bruins. The regular season opens up next Saturday night when the St. John's IceCaps come to town.

---- — Essex Theatre
TO THE EDITOR: Whether it be professional or not, community theater certainly enhances the health of the many small towns and villages here in the Northeast, as your editorial pointed out.
Important to mention is the Essex Theatre Company, now entering its 21st year.
Normally performing a major musical and stage play each summer, and often a winter show, its selections are unlimited.
Musicals have included "Chicago," "Cabaret" and "Into the Woods." Plays performed are no less than "The Lion in Winter," "Private Lives" and "The Odd Couple."
Essex Theatre Company has ranged to Plattsburgh and staged "Rent" at the Strand Theatre in 2011. Broadway stars George and Leslie Hearn, residing here in Essex, performed in "South Pacific" for Essex Theatre Company at SUNY in 2007.
Its actors are not paid, but they are more than professional.
Come to Essex, next to the ferry dock, to see the comedies "Much Ado About Nothing" and "Becky Shaw" this summer.

A Kokomo man is behind bars after police say he attacked a police K-9 during his arrest on a burglary charge on the city's north side.
Officers, with the help of K-9 Xena, a 2-year-old Belgian malinois, responded to a burglary in progress Saturday at a residence in Amberwood Circle.
Officers secured a perimeter as they searched for a man who reportedly ran into a weeded area. Xena tracked the suspect, Daniel G. Blackburn, 41, and apprehended him after a short distance.
Sgt. Tonda Cockrell reported Blackburn attacked the dog around its face and resisted officers before he was taken into custody.
Police arrested Blackburn on charges of felony burglary and misdemeanor resisting law enforcement and striking/interfering with a law enforcement officer, according to Cockrell.
Blackburn was treated and released from St. Joseph Hospital and was transported to the Howard County Criminal Justice Center without further incident.
The dog was treated and released from Kokomo Animal Hospital for her injuries.
If convicted, Blackburn could face up to 20 years on the burglary charge and up to a year on each of the misdemeanors.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

An interesting example of NCAA bureaucracy's triumph over common sense.
This summer, Emil Smith, a senior-to-be high school football player, committed to play for Boise State after he graduates next spring. Tragically, he and his brother both died in a car accident July 18th. NCAA rules prohibit Boise State's coaches from contacting the player's family in any way, like sending flowers, making a phone call, etc., or even attending the funeral.

The Dolphins and Hatters matched up in a 3 hour and 53 minute marathon that featured twenty- three hits, all singles.
The Dolphins jumped out early on the Hatters. Nate Ricci (Madison, Wis./LaFollette) coaxed a one out walk in the bottom of the second. One out later Drew Luther (Fullerton, Calif./Fullerton College) singled scoring Ricci and putting the Dolphins up 1-0. The Dolphins then followed with four consecutive singles by Scott Schaub (Ocala, Fla./College of Central Florida), Zachary Houck (Orange Park, Fla./Eagles View Academy), Jake Huxtable (Winter Springs, Fla./Santa Fe College), Nathan Koslowski (Jacksonville, Fla./Episcopal) to increase the lead to 4-0.
The Hatters scored an unearned run off JU starting pitcher Chris Anderson (Lino Lakes, Minn./Centennial) in the top half of the fourth to make it 4-1.
The Dolphins answered back in the fifth. Brady North (Tampa, Fla./Hillsboro CC) led off with a walk. Braddock Rowe (Jacksonville, Fla./South Georgia College) followed with a single to center. Ricci then walked loading the bases. Two outs later Schaub was hit by a pitch allowing North to score and put the Dolphins ahead 5-1.
The Hatters answered with a run in the top half of the sixth on two hits and a wild pitch to cut the lead to 5-2.
JU answered quickly. Huxtable led off with a walk. One out later North singled. Rowe followed with a single loading the bases. Ricci then walked scoring Huxtable and extended the lead to 6-2.
Stetson added a pair of unearned runs in the top half of the seventh on two hits and a very costly Dolphins error to make it 6-4.
JU added three insurance runs in the eighth. North led off with a single. Rowe followed with a single. Both runners advanced on a wild pitch. North then scored on a single by Ethan Loosen (Uniondale, N.Y./FSCJ). Luther then walked. Schaub then singled off the pitcher scoring Rowe. Dylan Dillard (Kissimmee, Fla./Osceola) was hit by a pitch scoring Loosen and increasing the lead to 9-4.
Stetson would not go quietly scoring three runs on two hits in the top half of the ninth before Adam Maxon (Oviedo, Fla./Oviedo) came in and locked down his fourth save of the season.
Chris Anderson (5-2) was credited with the win after pitching 6 2/3 innings allowing only one earned run while striking out five.
The Dolphins and Hatters will be back in action on Saturday afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for 2 pm. All the action can be followed live on www.judolphins.com

Greek life on campus: Either you love it or hate it.
On most large public universities, fraternities and sororities dominate social life, which means either you're in a frat or sorority or you go bowling on Friday nights.
Private colleges vary widely: Some of them have no frats (Harvard, Georgetown), some have quasi-frats (Princeton, Yale), and some colleges have high frat participation (Cornell, Dartmouth). Typically, a "high frat" college is one at which more than 30 percent of students join a fraternity or sorority.
So how do you find out the "frat content" of a college? If you ask the admissions office, "Are frats a big deal here?" you will get some version of "Not really." Either the actual answer is no, or the admissions office doesn't want to admit that frats are a big deal. Fraternities and sororities are often the cause of embarrassment, and admissions offices won't be quick to share embarrassing information. Even at high-frat schools, the admissions office will give you some version of "There are frats if you're interested, but there are numerous other social and living options for upperclassmen who aren't interested in frats." Translation: Frats are a big deal, and either you join one or you spend Friday night ordering pizza and watching Jersey Shore re-runs.
How do you find out the truth? First, find a junior, senior or recent graduate of the college, and ask them; unless they work for the admissions office, they will usually give you a fair and reasonable answer. Second, ask the admissions office what percent of upperclassmen (juniors and seniors) join fraternities and sororities. You can then take this number and compare it with the other colleges you're considering.
You should translate the answer like this:
- Less than 20 percent of upperclassmen in frats and sororities: Not a big deal; substantial social life exists outside of frats.
- 20-30 percent: not bad, but you will probably "lose" some freshmen friends to frats unless you join too.
- 30-50 percent: Not much social life outside of frats; you will want to join one (or get a satellite dish to amuse yourself while all your friends are at frat parties.)
- More than 50 percent: Frat city; you should either love frats or not apply to this college.
Whether or not you would like to join a fraternity is a complex question. While many fraternities are of the Animal House variety, colleges are aggressively trying to reform the Greek scene by (typically) limiting or banning kegs, restricting alcohol during rush weeks, punishing hazing/initiation rites and often requiring parties to be registered and/or monitored. The social life fraternities and sororities engender usually is of the superficial, Mardi Gras sort, but they do tend to provide some semblance of community at large universities where there otherwise is little.
It's also worth noting that frat culture can vary greatly from college to college and region to region. Fraternities in the South are much less Animal House and much more country-club and usually have a strong (and serious) emphasis on community service. It's also not unusual for southern fraternities to have black-tie events, sometimes several per year. Of course, they also sometimes have dress-as-your-favorite-Confederate-soldier events.
Another question to ask admissions offices and current students is whether or not a large number of students stay on-campus or in town over the summer. Usually, if a large number of students stick around over the summer, then the college and/or the town have developed a desirable collegiate community. It's a bit suspect if all the students immediately evacuate the campus and town once final exams are over: What's wrong that everyone is so interested in getting out?
And finally, the political climate on campus may affect the social life of the community. Political activists on college campuses have birthed untold inanities, from protesting the campus newspaper by stealing and destroying all the copies (Cornell) to requiring students to sign a "dating agreement" prior to going on a date which spells out what each person can and cannot expect from the other (Antioch.) And in many cases, the professors on campus tend to be activists, chasing the latest theoretical fad and exorcising the newest demon in society. Some campuses are notoriously activist – Stanford, UC-Berkeley, U. Michigan, Duke. You can ask current students and recent graduates about the political climate, but this may be fruitless because different people will have different opinions: The liberal activist may think the UC Berkeley campus isn't political enough. You should pick up a copy of the campus newspaper when you visit, and hopefully you have a well-informed counselor who can teach you the ways of campus politics.
Crime. One of the topics that colleges do not wish to discuss is campus crime. In fact, colleges only started reporting crime statistics in the 1990s because federal law required it. Before the government required campuses to reveal their crime statistics, it was almost impossible to discover a campus's crime rate. The mandatory detailed reporting of manslaughter, hate crimes and weapons offenses only dates back to 1998. Even now, the best source of information about crime on campus is from the FBI; colleges collect and report this information, but they are not interested in disseminating this information. Recently, the U.S. Education Department created a website for campus crime statistics, but the statistics on that website are jumbled and, in many cases, clearly inaccurate (in the past three years Brown reported only one drug and no liquor violations – does anyone believe that's accurate?) Colleges sometimes claim that the reporting process is too confusing or that they didn't have enough time to "add up the numbers." The same people who are responsible for organizing the lives of tens of thousands of undergraduates can't seem to add 500 (or so) arrests made for weapons and drug charges. More than one government official has suggested that colleges are less than interested in reporting accurate crime statistics (despite the laws that require them to do so and the $25,000 per instance fine if they don't.)
The only way to get reasonably accurate information about crime on campus is to have an informed college counselor who can get his or her hands on the statistics. Colleges are required by federal law to provide a crime summary to those who ask for it, but they often make this process cumbersome and lengthy. For example, they may require you to request the crime report in writing. Usually, the easiest thing to do is to ask for the crime summary while you're visiting. (By the way, the FBI refers to it as "crime" whereas most colleges refer to it as "security.")
College campuses are usually very safe, but they can also be prime targets for criminal activity. For example, thieves take advantage of the close-knit community and relaxed security on some college campuses to easily steal televisions and stereos. Crime matters for one simple reason: Most teenagers have yet to develop the responsibility necessary to avoid being a victim. Parents worry; the suburbs are safe; the house and car have alarm systems. None of this may be true on a college campus. (Parents may still worry, but they won't lock the dorm door each night.)
The most dangerous college campuses tend to be large public universities such as Michigan State and UC Berkeley. Campuses can also be dangerous because of their neighborhoods. Most colleges, particularly private colleges, are very aware of the potential for crime on their campuses and in their communities and usually employ private security firms.
Many colleges, such as UC Berkeley and U. Miami, suffer from being in or near unsafe neighborhoods and being either powerless or unwilling to do anything about the crime in the area. What is often most disturbing about this situation is that, often, the college owns and controls much of the real estate surrounding the campus. For example, there is a park near the UC Berkeley campus that is a notorious home for all sorts of derelicts, alcoholics and drug-dealers. Although many students have asked Berkeley to do something about this problem, the college has refused; this is particularly galling when one considers that the college actually owns the park.
You will want to make sure you feel safe and comfortable at college (and that you will feel safe parking your car, bringing your stereo, walking to class or club meetings at night.) How do to find out about the crime on and near campuses if colleges are so unwilling to be honest on this subject? Visit the campus; walk around the campus and around the surrounding neighborhood at night. (Many colleges will offer to "shuttle" you to the campus in lieu of you driving yourself; kindly decline this offer. Drive to the campus yourself. You should find out if the surrounding neighborhoods are safe.) While visiting the college, pick up both the college newspaper and the local neighborhood's newspaper; this will help you get a good idea if the area is "high crime." Often, the best people to talk to are the campus security guards. They are often not employed directly by the college and have not undergone any training from the admissions office. In most cases, they will be candid. While security guards don't know what goes on in the classroom, they usually have a very good idea of what campus life is like: Crime, parties, emergencies and so forth. Finally, ask a few current students (who aren't employed by the admissions office) and recent grads about crime on campus.
One last word: The most common crime on campus is theft (usually committed by other students). So I suggest not bringing anything highly valuable to campus until you've lived there at least one full semester. You need to get to know what your roommate, the campus and the surrounding area are like.
This is the third in a five-part series. The next installment will look at professors's salaries, majors, inside information.

The entries that poured in from across the county were thoughtful, colorful and creative. Narrowing the field to three entries was difficult and choosing a final winner proved just as difficult.
"I'm so glad the kids have taken ownership in this, because it really is a center for them," Walker County District Attorney Bill Adair said. "I hope when they are grown, they can tell their kids they were a part of creating this."
The entries were turned over to the Daily Mountain Eagle's staff and the top three choices were cleaned up by a graphic designer and published in the paper and online on Friday, March 29. From the feedback received from readers and staff votes a final winner was chosen.
The logo for the center was created by Barry Easterwood's fifth grade class at T.R. Simmons Elementary School. Easterwood said the submission was a class project so no one student was credited with the design.
The other finalists — Alex Oliver, a fourth grader at Sipsey Elementary/Middle School, and Ginny Posey, a fourth grader at Cordova Elementary — are also to be commended for their outstanding entries.
District Attorney Bill Adair said discussions about ways to utilize the other designs and incorporate them into aspects of the WCCAC are underway. Many of the pieces of artwork will likely be displayed in the CAC building once a location is chosen and ready to begin operation.
"I respect the decision the Daily Mountain Eagle has made," Adair said. "I can't wait to bring prizes to the winners and have a pizza party for them."
Adair also thanked Rastore Day Spa and the Jasper Bowling Center for donating prizes for the winners of the contest.
The official award will be made to the students next week and the CAC will begin using their new logo immediately.
To see all the entries from students, visit the Eagle's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/mountaineagle.

Each photo is self-contained yet part of the whole. His photo collection speaks to the millennium. Henri Cartier-Bresson is the photographer Cherpitel admires most & this photo book reflects the photojournalism of Cartier-Bresson. Cherpitel photos in Our World were published by Life Magazine and Communication Arts Magazine. Cherpitel learned graphic design and typography from master typographer and graphic design great Herb Lubalin.
The first chapter of Fotos in the Fog novel by Cherpitel to read or download. A noir mystery thriller set in Marin County, California, in June 1958, during the weeks that Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo plays first run and Orson Welles' Touch of Evil barely plays. Fotos in the Fog rips apart 1950s nostalgia as David Lynch's Blue Velvet expose the underbelly of small town Americana.
