The former Sullivan County Highway Department employees we talked with today said getting laid off yesterday was a total shock to them.
The laid off workers we talked with say they think they were hand-picked by Manning because they don't support him politically.
But Manning says the deterring factor was the production of the employees, and whether or not it was something the highway department could do without.
"We're going to get together and go see an attorney and go from there and try to get this resolved," Matthew Stewart, former highway employee, said.
Sullivan County Mayor Steve Godsey said he has no power over the choices of the current highway commissioner.
"If he feels like he needs to reduce his work staff and start trying to find funding to buy more salt, or more vehicles or whatever, that's strictly his call, that's not mine, that's not the county commissions, they put him in that position and that's his decision to make," Sullivan County Mayor Steve Godsey said.
Manning said the layoffs will save the highway department about $260,000.
There's a commission meeting in February and the ex-employees we talked with say they'll be there ready with comments and questions.
Godsey said the commission will vote on March 17th for a permanent highway commissioner who will take the role until the election in August.
Manning told News Channel 11 he plans to run for the position in the August election.
Godsey said there's about five other people that will also be running for that position.
Roughly a month after the head of the Sullivan County Highway Department retired amid an investigation into his department, seven highway department employees are out of a job. Interim Sullivan County Highway Commissioner Bobbie Manning confirms he laid off seven employees today as part of "a reduction in force due to budget constraints." He says those seven jobs will save the county roughly $260,000 in salaries alone."Our budget has been the same every year the last couple years, but gas, asphalt, everything is going up," Manning said. "This is not going to affect our production, our service to the taxpayers. We can eliminate these positions and it not hurt our productivity of paving or mowing."According to Manning, 104 people work for the highway department. He says the employees impacted by today's layoff had anywhere from a few months to 17 years of service with the highway department.Manning took over as interim highway commissioner after the man who previously held the post retired in December. Terry Shaffer's retirement announcement came amid a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation into the highway department for "alleged irregularities and improprieties." The investigation's findings are expected to go before the grand jury early this year.Copyright WJHL 2014. All rights reserved.

A lot of people also don't realize how important flossing is. I've read reports in which dentists say it's more important than brushing. That may sound crazy to some people, but the point is that the $1.30 you spend on dental floss is one of the best investments you can make. Your teeth are your best friends.

Save Greenmeadow
Original post made by FTF on Jul 23, 2012
As daunting and costly the items on the aging Greenmeadow facilities list are, Greenmeadow needs to pull their heads out of the sand and address the elephant-in-the-room and not just hang up when calling members who do not want to return. Greenmeadow needs to understand the reasons behind the mass exit that took place this year.
Ironic that the current GM administration has cost Greenmeadow more money then Kimball ever did.
on Aug 28, 2012 at 7:24 pm
I don't know who this is but finally a resident that is standing up for the associate members.....thank you.
Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2012 06:01:47 +0000
Subject: [gmca-discuss] The elephant in the room
I really like living in Greenmeadow and the fact that we have a shared pool. Having a place our kids can go swim together, a place to meet and a hub for social activities is great. This year we clearly have something of a financial crisis due to a rapid and severe drop in membership. However the recent financial survey failed to address the elephant in the room: associate members did not leave in droves because the pool is old, because the hours are no good or because they suddenly have better choices than before. I have talked to many, and heard indirectly from many more, and they left due to issues with the swim team, how it was being managed and how the board responded to their complaints. Unless we face this squarely and discuss / resolve it we will not get our membership back.
We went from the highest membership in many years (despite a severe recession) to the lowest in years without any significant change in the options available to members (all the alternative pools are the same this year as they were last year and even the year before). The folks who left still have kids, they are still swimming, they just chose not to swim at Greenmeadow. We must understand why and we must take steps to deal with their issues. Raising prices, cutting hours or taking other fiscal steps may be necessary to cover the shortfall but they will NOT address the issues. Such actions must be taken only in the context of other changes that WILL address the issues.
The board should find a neutral way to reach out to these folks and find out what they think, why they left - not just where they went. A full and frank discussion of what went wrong, what was done or not done that caused this massive drop in membership must be had and a plan implemented for next year. Once this plan exists we need to get information on what we are changing about associate membership, the way the swim team runs and/or the way the board supervises the swim team out to everyone who quit - we want them back and we have to show we mean it.
on Aug 28, 2012 at 8:39 pm
Hello FTF,
I would like to personally apologize if you feel like you have not been listened too! My number is in the directory and I welcome a call to share your ideas or concerns! As a resident of Greemeadow I am sure you have read or heard about GM2020. I encourage you to reach out to Tim Foy to learn how you can participate in this effort and help shape the future of our community. All ideas are on the table and I agree that our Associate Members need to have a say in our future!
Sean Giffen
GMCA Board President
btw- We recovered all the damages from Kimball!
on Sep 6, 2012 at 3:13 pm
65 Associate Members Gone. 33% of 2011's Associate Members left in one year. That's roughly $108,000 lost revenues over a 3 year period. Kimball paid full restitution for his embezzlement charges. Who's going to pay restitution for this? Sunny warned Sean that this would happen if he took the steps he did. It's time to resign Mr. Giffen. It's time to resign. Release the Giffen pool and give it back to Greenmeadow.

Icebox pie is one of those make-ahead treats that you can look forward to all day, knowing that a cold slice is waiting for you when you get home. Fruitful's icebox pie is a cloud of blackberry whipped cream set atop a condensed milk custard, all packaged in a graham cracker crust. The super-sweet custard is a pleasant surprise, hidden under purple clouds of berry cream, and the graham cracker crust adds a delightful toasty note. More
A sweet, deceptively complex frozen yogurt that layers rich blackberries with brown sugar and a touch of clove. More
Campari and orange zest emphasize raspberry's subtleties for a sweet-tart frozen yogurt with a slight bitter finish. More
The classic creamsicle gets an upgrade with tangy yogurt and a big jolt of orange zest to bolster the fruit's bittersweet citrus edge. More
The best frozen yogurt is also the easiest to make. It's just full-fat yogurt and sugar, and churns up into a creamy yet fresh-tasting frozen dessert that does justice to all of yogurt's natural tangy flavors. More
Inspired by classic strawberry shortcake, this reinvented version is made with three forms of strawberry (macerated, powdered, pudding), features ginger-and-lemongrass-flavored choux pastry puff, and is topped with light, refreshing buttermilk granita. It's not traditional, but it is an explosion of flavors and textures that's absolutely worth making. More
This granita made from buttermilk is light and refreshing, with soft crystals of ice softly melting on your tongue. It's what snowflakes should taste like when we catch them in our mouths. It also requires no special equipment: A freezer and a fork are all you need. More
Is Magic Shell, the ice cream topping that hardens into a chocolate candy shell, the world's greatest ice cream topping? I can't say for sure, but it's definitely the most fun. More
Behold, a totally vegan, totally delicious vanilla ice cream, courtesy of Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream Desserts. The secret? Pulverized cashews and coconut oil for fatty richness, and tapioca starch for thickness. Try it today. More
In this recipe from Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream Desserts, a super-sweet custard is stirred into a white whiskey-flavored ice cream base and beefed up with salty, toasted pecans. More
This recipe makes rich, soft frozen custard like you'll find at Shake Shack, Kopp's, Leon's, and all sorts of custard shops around the South and Midwest. More

With fat pieces of butter-soaked yellow cake in a cream cheese ice cream base, this recipe is easily one of the most decadent offerings at Ample Hills. More
Chocolate and pretzels aren't a groundbreaking combination. Neither are pretzels and beer. But chocolate, pretzels and beer? Yes, please. Do yourself a favor and whip this one up if you want rich, chocolate-and-beer-y ice cream with the salty crunch of pretzels. More
Sometimes simplest really is best: sweet cream ice cream bulked up with fresh bits of chopped honeycomb candy. It's a strong hit of caramel flavor, with the delicate sweetness of cold, fresh cream. More
Peanut butter and jelly is a classic combination, but it's the way these flavors come together in this ice cream that makes it great. First, a fat scoop of PB is stirred into a sweet cream ice cream base, then, just before serving, spoonfuls of jelly are folded into the finished product. It keeps the flavors separate, letting them, quite literally, melt in your mouth. More
Most sprinkles ice creams just add colored sprinkles to a plain, unflavored sweet cream base. That's pretty boring. This recipe uses candy-colored, delightfully artificially flavored cereal (Fruity Pebbles, specifically, but Trix and Froot Loops would work well) to make something that's far more fun and deserving of the sprinkles that go into it. More
A base of croissant dough is filled with coconut, almonds, and cake crumbs, then garnished with more sliced almonds. It's an impressive-looking pastry that really isn't that hard to master. More

"I remember really quickly going from, 'Wow, I'm home, this feels great', to 'Holy s***, what did I do to my mom'?" says alpinist Kyle Dempster. "And that was the first time I saw how truly difficult it is for mothers."
Today, we bring you two stories--one from Hilary Oliver, and one from Kyle Dempster and his mother, Terry--about the struggle of loving an adventurer. The struggle between loving them so much that you don't want to see them hurt, and loving them so much that you want to support them in pursuing their dreams--in doing the things that make them tick.
This story was originally inspired by one of Kyle's blog posts by the same title. You can find more of Kyle's writing at Through My Eyes.

"I was disoriented beneath the cold water. I kicked toward the surface, but the force of the water held me down. I twisted and hung underwater for a moment. A thought passed through my head--this is what it feels like to drown," writes Dan Gingold. Dan and three friends planned to raft the Musconetcong River into the larfer Delaware River over three days. With the river running high with spring rains and little prior recon, their mellow trip became more than they bargained for as they navigated multiple dams.

"It's like you're scared to move forward-- you just need something to give you a little nudge," says Jonah Manning. "You can call it support, but, really it's just like a little bit of a shove forward. And I'll never forget it, because Widge was certainly that for me." Today, we bring you the story of Widge, the ultimate adventure partner. Sometimes when that metaphorical door of adventure opens, you need someone to walk through by your side.

"Standing up in my pedals, I dug so deep to make it to the top of the hill I wasn't positive that my butt could bear sitting back down on my bike seat when I got to the top," Hilary Oliver remembers. "I'd hardly said a word to another human being all day, and began to wonder: What the hell was I doing out there, anyway?" Hilary had driven that stretch of asphalt between Fort Collins and Denver many times, but she didn't know what it had to teach her about herself and where she came from until she got out from behind the windshield.

A month ago, we headed south for our annual pilgrimage to the 5 Point Film Festival and our live Dirtbag Diaries. Today, we share stories from two women, from two different generations who share a love for rivers. In 2013, Amber Valenti had the opportunity to paddle one of the last great free-flowing rivers in the world-- The Amur River. Amber, along with three other women paddlers, documented the river from its remote headwaters in Mongolia to the wide-ribboned channels in Russia. Amber wrote and produced the film, "Nobody's River," filled with hilarious antics and the soulful exploration of a new place and oneself.
Our next guest, Katie Lee, was a force to have on stage. Feisty, poignant and ready to tell you what she thinkS, Katie is not your typical nonagenarian. Katie started her career as an actress in Hollywood, but soon left it behind after taking her first trip down the Grand Canyon. But it was Glen Canyon that she fell in love with. When it was flooded in 1963, Katie used her voice to write songs and books about the river and the west. And she's still using her voice as an activist for the environment.
This episode contains strong language.

Committed. It's a word we use to describe people we know, our friends, even ourselves. Committed to a sport. A ski line. A lifestyle. It can be easy to commit to those daily or short term goals. But carving out time to achieve a bigger dream, something that may take weeks or months, even years--it can feel really hard to take that first step. To even know what that first step is. And sometimes, the very goal we set for ourselves can define the duration of our commitment. Twelve years ago, Pablo Garcia left Argentina to pedal around the world. And he's still pedaling.

The average American spends a third of their income on housing. Almost as much as the next two greatest expenses--food and transportation--combined. So, theoretically, if you just stopped paying for housing, you could earn a living working three days a week. Or two thirds of the year.
Today, we bring you a story about the pursuit of snow, world domination and cheap rent. It's imperfect. It comes with inconveninces. Trade-offs. But, at the end of the day, what would you rather trade in? Convenience? Or time chasing down dry rock or fluffy snow?

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- It's cheaper to fly to Atlanta than drive -- at least for now.
Southwest Airlines marked new non-stop service Monday from Louisville to Atlanta. The airline will offer three non-stop flights each day, with tickets currently costing less than $100 round trip.
As Julie Adams of Southwest Airlines Customer Service explains, "It's a market traveled for both business and pleasure, and it's going to be a boost to air travel in this area."
Officials wouldn't say how long that promotion would last or what the regular fare will be. It's thought new competition in the market will drive down prices on the route, which had ranged between $400 and $800 on Delta.
96 passengers were on board Monday morning's flight. Many passengers did not know it was the official launch. In an industry marred by unpopular fees and skyrocketing costs, Bob Bartek was just happy to get a cheap ticket: "I've been waiting for this for years. I used to have to drive from Birmingham to Atlanta in order to get a reasonable flight to Louisville where I do business every other week. And as a result, I have been looking for Southwest Air to come up here. I was on the first flight out yesterday morning and now I am on the first flight back and I will be back every other week."
Vision Airlines offered service to Atlanta last year and it failed to take off. Airport leaders say Southwest is a much larger company and more sustainable.
The airport now offers non-stop service to 25 cities throughout the United States -- eight of those are serviced by Southwest.
The airline plans to add a ninth non-stop route to Denver this November.

Vikings LB Chad Greenway has been named to his first Pro Bowl after recording a personal-best 174 tackles in 2011, it was announced Monday.
"I'm excited to be going to the Pro Bowl, representing the Vikings and to be there with Jared (Allen)," Greeway said. "I couldn't have done it without a lot of help and support from my teammates and coaches. Even though we didn't have the kind of season we wanted to as far as winning games, we have guys who are proud and want to get back to the top. I'm honored to be thought of as a Pro Bowler and will make the most of the opportunity."
Greenway has now led the Vikings in tackles the past four seasons. He set a career-high in tackles with 22 against the Raiders this season which ranks as the second-most tackles in a game in Vikings history. Greenway finished the season with 174 total tackles (104 solo, 70 assisted), 13 tackles for loss, two sacks and one fumble recovery.
He will replace Bears LB Lance Briggs, who is unable to play because of an injury. This is the second year in a row in which a Vikings linebacker has been selected to the Pro Bowl — E.J. Henderson was named last season.

Here are a number of low cost suggestions to develop greater visibility for poetry during April and throughout the year.
Book displayPrograms and discussionsCollection developmentOutreachSuccess stories from past years
These tips were developed through Poetry in the Branches (PITB)--a multi-layered, replicable program model that helps libraries become centers for the discovery of contemporary American poetry. The model seeks to improve public access to poetry through acquisitions, displays, live readings, writing workshops, and other poetry services to adults and young adults. PITB was developed by Poets House in collaboration with The New York Public Library and the Brooklyn Public Library, and is now being made available to librarians all over the country. For more information about PITB, and how to bring it to your library, contact Jen Abrams, Poetry in the Branches coordinator, at (212) 431-7920 x.13.
Poets House is a 40,000-volume poetry library and resource center in New York City. Visit the Poetry Publication Showcase, an exhibit of the year's new poetry books, during National Poetry Month at Poets House. Call (212) 431-7920 for further information.
Poets House offers its special thanks to the Adult Specialists and Young Adult Librarians who contributed to this list: Caroline Bartles, Patricia Burn, Donald Laub, Cesare Passudetti, Jessica Roskoff and Marsha Spyros.
The libraries that had the greatest success with National Poetry Month were the ones that invested effort in hosting readings, setting up special poetry displays, organizing contests, and mentioning National Poetry Month in their newsletters and to the local media.
Teton County Library (Jackson, WY) The library held a variety of celebrations honoring NPM. Patrons wrote poems on paper leaves to decorate their Poetree. Teens could participate in a poetry contest for a cash prize. Local poets read aloud in an open-mike format for the traditional "Moose Readings." The traveling troupe Poetry Alive! Presented poetry as theater.
Bethlehem Public Library (Bethlehem, CT) Children wrote poetry incorporating the numbers one to one hundred and decorated invitations with numbers to honor the library's centennial year. A poetry reading-party was held and poems were gathered into a volume to become part of the library's book collection.
Blue Hill Public Library (Blue Hill, ME) The library had a program based on the "Poets In Person" radio series which they dubbed "Poets Out Loud." Their second annual "Favorite Poem Reading" was held April 26. In addition, the filing cabinets around the children's area were decorated with magnetic poetry.
Boston Public Library, South End Branch (Boston, MA) Their own Favorite Poem Project had community members reading through poems encompassing all portions of the program. Previous successful years of NPM promotion through displays, readings, and videos encouraged many people to attend the Favorite Poem Project festivities.
Public Library for Union County (Lewisburg, PA) The library set up a Poetry Wall and a Poet-tree with leaves provided so patrons could write their own poetry. For children, a Haiku workshop proved popular, as did the poetry story-time for pre-schoolers. The library also offered a poetry reading which was well attended.
Iowa City Public Library (Iowa City, IA) The library held several activities for NPM. A graduate student from the University of Iowa taught a two-week poetry course for adults. They also offered a workshop for children. Poets from the University's creative writing program read original works at "Poetry For Lunch." The library invited staff and community members to read a favorite or original poem. Poems from previous year's workshops were placed on placards on city buses for passengers to enjoy.
Oconee County Library (Watkinsville, GA) Patrons posted their poetry on a Poetry Wall, sometimes adding illustrations. The library showed films such as "The Bitter Berry: The Life of Byron Herbert Reece." The festivities culminated with a poetry slam and open-mike readings. Winners received a poetry book, ribbon, and gift certificate from area bookstores.
The Friends of Minneapolis Public Library (Minneapolis, MN) The popular and critical response to the library's "Favorite Poem Group Poetry Reading" has been so positive they are making it an annual event. In 2000, participants included the Mayor of Minneapolis, best-selling novelist Judith Guest, Arts Advocate Joan Mondale, Supreme Court Justice Alan Page, and several other local TV and radio personalities.
Osterlin Library (Northwestern Michigan College) The library tied a "zero response time" book of poetry to every computer workstation so students would have something to read while they waited.
Bethlehem Public Library (Delmar, NY) The library offered a number of workshops for NPM. "What We Know" poetry writing workshops were funded by Poets & Writers. A local certified poetry therapist taught a Poetry Therapy workshop. Nationally known poet June Jordan held an informal seminar. In addition, the library set up a display of poetry in the building.
Medford Public Library (Medford, MA) The library hosted "Medford Poets Live!" an evening of readings by local poets. Due to its success, next year a poetry discussion group will be added to the festivities. A poetry book display was featured through the month of May and attendance in a children's poetry writing workshop tripled.
Edgecombe County Memorial Library (Tarbaro, NC) The library held a "Poetry on the Lawn" event on their front lawn. Teachers brought their classes over to hear a local poet read, and some read their own works. In addition, the event attracted many passersby curious about the proceedings. A lively discussion followed.
Brooklyn Public Library (Brooklyn, NY) Twelve branches of the library sponsored a five-week poetry writing and reading program, "Writing With Rhythm," for young adults. They published and distributed a poetry anthology to local schools and other library branches. Due to the growing interest in poetry during National Poetry Month, the library also offered a Poets Coffeehouse series in the Central Library.
Prairie Trails Public Library (Burbank, IL) For the second year, the library held an "Animal Pupp-o-etry" show where animal puppets read animal poems for younger children and they held a poetry party for older kids. The library's monthly writing club also focused on poetry. Librarians found that the poetry shelf in their youth section was ¾ empty throughout the month of April.
Jefferson Township Public Library (Jefferson, NJ) The senior librarian, Christine O'Brien, bought artificial roses, printed out copies of classic poems; wrapped a poem around each flower's stem, and tied it with ribbon. She then put them in a basket to be displayed at the circulation desk near the entrance. Within three days she gave out over one hundred poems.

Q. I want to thank you for saving me from a most embarrassing situation. I am president of a small corporation and we were making a pitch to an important client. I had been suffering from a cold for about a week and blowing my nose a lot before this critical meeting. Fifteen minutes before we were to start our presentation, I blew my nose and immediately developed a nasty nosebleed.
No matter what I tried to do to stop the bleeding, nothing worked. Then I remembered reading in your column about putting cold keys down the back of the neck. By this point I was desperate and figured I had nothing to lose. Within seconds the bleeding stopped. I don't know how this trick works, but I sure am grateful!
A. We do not know how it works, either. But so many readers have written about their success, we are sure that this technique does work at least some of the time. Putting a large, cold metal key or ring of keys down the back of the neck to stop a nosebleed is a folk remedy that seems to have come to this country from Europe a long time ago.
Another reader writes, "I read your column a year ago about stopping a nosebleed by dropping keys down the person's back. This past Christmas, with the whole family gathered, my sister got a nosebleed. I had been waiting for some time to try this remedy, so I got my mom's car keys and dropped them down my sister's back. The nosebleed she'd had for about five minutes was gone instantly. The cold shock made her really tense up, which might be why it worked.
Here's another take on the same remedy! I have read with interest your columns reporting keys as a solution for nosebleeds. I've been reading A Princess Remembers:The Memoirs of the Maharani of Jaipur, an autobiography by Gayatri Devi. In talking about palace guests whom she particularly admired as a child of 11 (in the early 1930s), she describes: "...the especially thrilling Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., the great swashbuckling film star. Later he came to Cooch Behar on a shoot and I had an even more unexpected bit of luck. My nose began to bleed and (he) looked after me and put a key down my back to stop the bleeding."; I've never had nosebleeds but can't help being intrigued by this lore.

Dealing with Smoking
Teen Smoking
Q. I just caught my 12-year-old son smoking. When I was a kid my father would have made me smoke the whole pack. Does that work? What's the best way to make him stop?
A. How did your father make you smoke a pack of cigarettes? Did forcing you to smoke an entire pack keep you from lighting up thereafter?
Even if your father's approach did remedy your interest in smoking, realize that taking that same approach with your son might not be effective. Parenting today is different than a generation ago. Your son will probably refuse to smoke the pack of cigarettes, and an ugly altercation between you and your child could result, making the situation worse.
Here are some alternative suggestions:
Don't freak out. Losing your temper and throwing a tantrum won't do any good. Becoming the secret police by conducting surprise searches through your son's dresser drawer and back pack is ill advised as well. But don't dismiss the smoking incident as a phase and assume your son will come to his senses and miraculously stop, either.
Instead, take a deep breath, calm down and talk to your child rationally and firmly. Start by focusing on the immediate disadvantages of smoking rather than long-term risks. Talk about stinky breath, hair and clothes, the amount of money cigarettes cost, and the addictive effects of smoking. If your son is involved with sports, talk about how smoking will impair his ability to perform on the athletic field.
Talking about the negative long-term medical effects by saying, "If you smoke you'll be 50 and get lung cancer," has little effect on teenagers. It's too far in the future. However, if you know an adult who has tried to quit smoking, have him discuss with your son his frustrations with his addiction. A testimonial by an admired adult could send a powerful message, motivating your son to never smoke again.
Talk about advertising and media influences and how they beckon teens to smoke. Teens are rebels by nature and some will stop smoking if they feel they are being lured and manipulated by the marketing efforts of cigarette companies. Watch the movie The Insider together, and then open up conversation and discussion about the tobacco industry.
Voice your disappointment and concern. "I'm so disappointed that you would do something that is so distasteful and unbecoming and that will ultimately jeopardize your short- and long-term health.
Lastly, admit to your son that you have little control over whether he smokes or not. Tell him you hope he never inhales another puff of cigarette smoke, but that you realize he alone is in charge of this decision. Let him know it's only because you love him so much that you hope he'll never smoke again and lead a healthy life without tobacco involved.

Wedding Weekend
Review submitted: August 16, 2012 Date of arrival: July 20, 2012
My finance and I wanted to share an entire "wedding weekend" with our families before tying the knot. This was the perfect place. We rented three homes on Fern Mountain through Bill Steele and they were all perfect! We used this house as our "home base" and during the day it fit all 45+ of us comfortably. On Saturday we had a family "union" with food, fun and games and ended the weekend with our wedding. Bill was fantastic. He was right there if we needed anything. We hope to get back there again for one of our anniversaries. Thank you Wes and Bill!!

Amazing vacation spot
Review submitted: July 9, 2012 Date of arrival: June 30, 2012
We rented this house and another close by for a family reunion. The house was just as beautiful as described and worked really well for our extended family. It was very comfortable and well appointed, and we absolutely hope to return in the future. We would recommend this property to anyone.

Awesome Property
Review submitted: October 4, 2011 Date of arrival: September 29, 2011
We spent 4 nights at this awesome property with 14 people. The home is beautifully located and well appointed inside. The furnishings were beautiful and comfortable as it happened to rain alot so we spent much of the time relaxing and enjoying the theater and game room. Even my 84 yr old father enjoyed playing the arcade games! The customer service was outstanding from beginning inquires about the property to meeting us personally at the property and going over the house. Is a short drive to Fallingwaters home by Frank Lloyd Wright and the Flight 93 Memorial. We were celebrating parent's 60th anniversary and had inquired about a restaurant-the owners recommended Out of the Fire and what a wonderful suggestion. Highly pleasing to all 14 of us-exceptional meal and service-have traveled all over Europe and this restaurant is top notch! I would highly recommend this property-it exceeded all our expectations!!

Had a great time
Review submitted: August 3, 2011 Date of arrival: July 23, 2011
Thank you for a great time with my family while at Fern Mountain. The house is great, more than we could imagine.
We do have a request... While we were there we all had a great night sleep on the king beds and the bunk beds and we were wanting to know what style and brand these are because they were so comfortable. This would help a great deal as both my wife and I woke up with no pain (getting older). I e-mailed Rustic Furniture but they don't sell mattress's. I forgot to look while I was there. If you have that information could you please let me know.
Again thank you for a great setting and place to share with my family.

This week's Bottomless Pit (already prerecorded) is a one-hour salute to one of the Greatest of The Greats, songwriter Doc Pomus (1925-1991, b. Jerome Solon Felder). I had great respect and admiration for Doc and was a friend of his for many years. He wrote and co-wrote some of the best and most beloved songs of all time, and lived a life that was absolutely EPIC.
I encourage you to see, as soon as you can, the outstanding movie "AKA Doc Pomus", by Peter Miller and Amy Linton. If you enjoy books, there's the great biography "Lonely Avenue", by Alex Halberstadt, which is a real spell- binder.
And I hope you'll listen to an hour of and about Doc, this Saturday at 10 PM EDT, on WFUV (wfuv.org).

Mumbai, Aug 16:
Gold demand fell 38 per cent to 181 tonnes in the June quarter against 294 tonnes recoded in the same period last year as weak rupee pushed up prices.
Investment demand halved to 56 tonnes.
Jewellery demand dipped 30 per cent to 125 tonnes.
The marked declines were partly a reflection of the strength of demand in June quarter last year, said the World Gold Council.
The fluctuations in the exchange rate and the rise in the gold price to records of around Rs 30,000 per 10 grams in June were compounded by domestic inflation and concerns over a weak monsoon season, it added.

|I traversed all five 4000 meter summits in the list of the UIAA from east to west.
1st day: took the train to Gornergrat, from there to Monte Rosa Hütte.
2nd day: from Monte Rosa Hütte to Bivacco Rossi e Volante.
3rd day: traversing Roccia Nera and all 4 Breithorn summits and return with cable car from Kleines Matterhorn to Zermatt.
Clouds on our summit day gave us almost no view unfortunately.
I remember big crevasses in the summer of melting glaciers back in 2003.
I am not sure about the exact date of the summit day, so don´t nail me on that, because this has been almost 4 years ago and we were travelling 3 weeks all over Europe that summer. The pictures of my old digicam only show the date when I downloaded them to my computer.

But on the 31st of august we received the reward for our patience - it was a cloudless day with ideal conditions and not too many people (we even had the whole summit for ourselves for a few minutes to enjoy the panorama from Gran Paradiso to Mt.

|My first 4000 mtr peak is sick, she losing weight at an alarming rate. You can see on the picture that the rocky outcrop on the west face is getting bigger each year, more and more crevasses open up on the face itself and the local guides consider it to be more and more dangerous every year. This week guides told their client's that they wouldnt take them up several times. The upper Theodull glacier fails to reach the lift station at Trockener stegg for the first time. I'm afraid its going to be a lot worse next year.
I say bollock's to global warming !

60 minutes, Epilepsy, and Jaye Allen Folkins
Recently, my wife and I caught a 60 Minutes Program on the Axelrod family. Katie Couric interviewed David and his family about their daughter Lauren, who struggles with epilepsy. Her struggle is so severe, that is has caused her permanent brain damage.
There are a lot of things in the interview that brought out an emotional response from me. But one of the main quotes is the following.
"It's been hard to explain to her," David Axelrod replied. "She doesn't understand why. She asks all the time, 'Why does Barak Obama need so much help.'"
He recently surprised her with an unplanned visit. While the Axelrods are grateful for how far their daughter has come, they are committed to helping other families intervene sooner than they could for Lauren.
"Do you ever look at her and kind of think, 'Gee, what if? What would she be doing now?'" Couric asked.
"Too often," Susan Axelrod said. "And this is what happens. It's painful."
"God knows what she could've been. But that's a treacherous place to go. You know, there was a time when we have given our right arm for just a week of good days. And now, she has them consistently. So, you know, that's a big victory," David Axelrod added
This made me think of a thought I have had almost every day of my life since my brother died because of his epilepsy.
What could have been?
What would Jaye look like now?
What songs would he have written or what Girl would he love?
And David Axelrod is right, that is a dangerous place to dwell.
Then the other night, my seven week old daughter was quite fussy. So I started singing to her. I then ran out of songs, and for some reason I began telling her stories about her uncle Jaye. Who is her name sake (Gracie Jaye Folkins). Now I know she won't remember the stories right now, but just talking to her about her uncle was nice.
That conversation (though one sided unless you count coo-ing) along with the 60 minutes segment, inspired me to put up my brother's memorial video online. It is pretty long (1:15:00 minutes), and you will cry if you make it to the end, but it allows me a way to keep on remembering him. And hopefully it will remind others of how dear their loved ones are.
Don't waste a moment.
UPDATE: I have moved Jaye's video to his page. Here is the link.

ATHENS - Georgia athletics director Greg McGarity met with his SEC counterparts last Friday, and the subject of the NCAA's recruiting deregulation again came up.
We didnt dwell on it at length, McGarity said. I got that sense everyone was on the same page.
And that would mean opposition to the most controversial proposals. In addition to that SEC meeting, the subject was debated even more last week in Indianapolis, at a larger NCAA meeting. McGarity said two of the proposals - set to go into effect in late March - have emerged as the most contentious:
- The amount of staff members on a team who can recruit. Right now, in football 10 coaches (head coach and nine assistant) can recruit off campus, and in basketball four coaches (head coach and three assistants) can recruit. The deregulation would open it up to basically anybody on staff.
- What can be sent to prospective student-athletes: The deregulation would allow teams to send things like life-sized cutouts of recruits, and anything else that can spring from the minds of those who recruit.
Those are the two things that really have a financial impact that are currently being reviewed by the membership, McGarity said. There were 26 proposals (25 passed), and I think two or three were somewhat controversial.
So will there be enough votes nationwide to override the proposals, due to go into effect in late March? There could be, or it might not become necessary: There is a move afoot for additional legislation that would limit the controversial parts of the legislation.
Specifically, according to McGarity, there is sentiment to cap the number of individuals you can have associated with the football program. If that happens, then that group could be deregulated in terms of recruiting, but every team would be on an even footing. Under the rules set to go into effect, one team could hire 50 or more staffers to recruit while others would have less, because an SEC team has more to spend than a Sun Belt team. And even within the same conference, the concern is it would lead to inequality between schools willing to spend whatever it takes and those that don't have the same resources.
The entire recruiting deregulation is set to go into effect on Aug. 1, unless there are 75 votes to override (out of about 340 Division I schools) by March 20. The override votes would be for specific parts of the legislation, so if those two contentious parts are overriden, the other 23 would survive.
There could be modifications, or it may not even reach the override vote because there may be enough discussion between now and that period of time, to where they may be some adjustments to amendments, or withdrawals, or what have you," McGarity said. "I think there are a lot of options that will be discussed by the membership in the next three weeks.
Here's a look at the two main issues:
It wouldnt be unprecedented to limit football staff: As of last year, a strength and conditioning staff is limited to five members. And for a long time teams have been limited to 10 full-time coaches, who are the only ones allowed to recruit.
But lately Alabama has been hiring quality-control coaches. Auburn just hired Dell McGee, the head coach at Columbus Carver High School, for an unspecified position.
Last year Georgia hired Daryl Jones to be the on-campus recruiting coordinator. But he cant go on the road and recruit. Thats still limited to the full-time coaches - unless the new NCAA rules go through in late March. If they do, then it's being widely predicted that teams will hire new staff left and right with the express purpose of recruiting.
Either way, McGarity is a bit skeptical of the quality-control hires.
Right now you could hire 50 quality-control (coaches), whatever you want to call them. You could hire 100 if you wanted to, McGarity said. But the key thing here, and what everybody is missing the point on, is the only people that can recruit are your 10 coaches. All these other people that you have on your staff, the only time that they can actively recruit is when you have kids on campus. But they cannot analyze tapes or prospects. They cannot call prospects, unless theyre going over details of an official visit. So they cannot be looking at tape saying, We need to go after Joe Brown because Ive looked at tape of him and hes a great player. Cant do that. Thats illegal. What are these people doing, is the question?"
The quality-control coaches can only help the full-time coaches scheme up in the film room, McGarity said, but they're not allowed to be in the film room with players, or on the field for practice.
The other concern, and perhaps more immediate, is what happens if the NCAA does limit the football support staff from recruiting?
"A lot of people are saying: Well a lot of these schools are getting ahead of the game (by hiring support staff to recruit). Well what happens if there is an override? Well if they cant do it, then what are these individuals gonna be doing?" McGarity said. "I think there are a lot of people that are just not aware of what people can do now, and cant do now.
McGarity said he and his head football coach, Mark Richt, havent specifically talked about the proposals. But he indicated that Richt has been in meetings recently where it was discussed.
Footballs just one piece of it, McGarity said. This affects everyone. I think this probably gets lost in the shuffle, everybody thinks its just a football rule. Its all sports.
Richt, for what it's worth, recently told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution he was planning to adjust to the changes if they go through, but expects them to be rescinded. He declined to comment further for that reason.
The concern here is that deregulating what schools can and cannot send to recruits would lead to overly elaborate and expensive tactics. Fox mentioned life-size cutouts last week, when he spoke out against the deregulation proposals, and said he didn't know anybody favoring them. Fat-heads, the giant-sized cutouts of heads that are occasionally waved at games, has also been mentioned.
Just think of how creative people can be when there are no restrictions on it," McGarity said. "The only thing that does is creates additional expenses when, in todays world of college athletics, there are only a handful of institutions that really generate, at the end of the day.
Georgia is one of those, with almost $70 million in a reserve fund. But the concern for McGarity is how quickly those resources will drop not just for UGA but every school once the recruiters have blank checks.
We have the resources, to a certain level, McGarity said. But what level is that? The rule would let each institution make that decision. But for the good of the game, if you take a step back, our institution, and whats for the best for college athletics in general, then basically with the approval of this legislation you would be furthering the separation of the haves and haves not. And right now you would say there are probably 22 haves, and the rest of the programs in the country operate in the red already. I dont think thats good for the whole.
And then within those 22 haves, the worry is that there would be a runaway spending race.
So if there's so much opposition to these changes, why did they get passed in the first place? It originally sprung out of a desire to clear up the NCAA rule book, to get rid of the ridiculous secondary violations that coaches incur. But the legislation that passed in January, when the NCAA board of directors voted on it.
Since then, opposition has sprung up from coaches in many conferences.
Everybody probably shares responsibility in this, because a lot of these ideas really dont resonate until it really becomes something thats for serious review, McGarity said. Probably not enough attention was paid in the beginning, but thats why we have the process in place now so there is a 60-day review period.
As for another deregulation proposal, the unlimited texts and messaging legislation makes sense from an enforcement standpoint, according to McGarity, but he was curious how recruits will feel about being bombarded.
I wonder what their cell phone plan is, he said.

That alone tells us enough, but keep this in mind: This entire performance was created and recorded following the invention of the iPhone, so, no, we can't blame/congratulate the '80s for whatever magical thing it is that we just watched.

Cocaine and heroin found at Dover docks
Border Force officers are investigating after an estimated 107 kilos of cocaine and five kilos of heroin were seized at Dover's Eastern Docks. The drugs, which have a street value running into millions of pounds, were discovered when officers stopped a Slovenian-registered lorry.
After questioning the driver officers, aided by a detector dog, searched the lorry and its load of metal and machinery. The drugs were found hidden in one of the trailer's outside lockers.

ENCINITAS, Calif. (CBS 8) - Dozens of protestors rallied outside Scripps Memorial Hospital in Encinitas after the removal of a popular doctor.
On Friday, Dr. Robert Biter had his obstetrician privileges revoked by the medical staff at Scripps. He can still practice as a gynecologist.
Patients and supporters of Dr. Biter -- who specializes in natural birth -- are demanding that he be brought back.
"I think it's a smear campaign by Scripps to get rid of Dr. Biter because he doesn't make enough money for Scripps because he doesn't do enough C-sections and he doesn't do enough interventions. And I think it makes a lot of other doctors uncomfortable," child birth educator Sheri Manelli said.
A spokesperson for the hospital told News 8 the basis for Dr. Biter's removal is a confidential matter.

Men's soccer shuts out Stetson 1-0
Oct. 14, 2007
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - JU men's soccer team defeated Stetson by a score of 1-0 Sunday night at the Ashley Sports Complex.
Senior forward Anton Axelsson scored the only goal after an assist from junior midfielder Ramak Niakan safi and senior defender Austin Earl. After receiving the pass from Earl, Niakan Safi turned his defender and sent a beautiful cross to Axelsson, who had no problem beating the Hatters' goalkeeper. Axelsson now has nine goals on the season - one more than he had all of last season.
"This was a huge game for us," said JU head coach Mike Johnson. "Our guys have been challenged all year to step up and do whatever is necessary for us to stay at the top of the conference, and tonight was no exception. Stetson is a good team. They have had some big wins - in and out of conference and are rated very highly.
"In the goals that we set for the team, we knew if we are going to win the A-Sun championship, we have to win at home and our guys have been set on that. Ramak Niakan safi gave us quality effort coming in the game as a spark and had a quality assist on Anton's goal. I am very proud of the whole team on the way they handled the atmosphere of the match. It was a big game - a physical game, and they did whatever it took to be successful. Unfortunately, they can't enjoy it very long, as we have to get ready for a huge game on Wednesday."
Freshman goalkeeper Matt Gilman made three saves for the Dolphins and along with defenders Brian Cocciolo, Austin Earl, Eddie Munnelly and Patrick Rundio, recorded the Dolphins second shutout of the weekend.
"The defending has been fantastic over the past two games," Johnson said. "Going into the season one of our goals was to be a better defensive team than we have been in the past and they have taken it to heart. Goalkeeping, whether it was Matt Gilman or Joey Sanchez, proved they can win us games. If we have to win 1 - 0, we can, and I think we have proved that this year."
Both teams knew they were in for a physical matchup and by the time the referee blew the final whistle, there had been a total of 33 fouls (19 in the first half alone) and three yellow cards.
The Dolphins will be in action again on Wednesday, taking on North Florida at 7 p.m. at the Ashley Sports Complex.
