Places - Lille, "Youpe! Youpe! Sur La Riviere!"
Song: "Youpe! Youpe! Sur la Riviere!"
Singers: Mr. & Mrs. Lawrence Parent
Town: Lille, ME
NA 1479 CD 546 Track 1
Collected By: Steffan Duplessis
Date: 1980
A "home-made" song from Quebec, "Youpe!" came to Maine the same way many other songs traveled through Maine and the eastern Canadian provinces: with lumbermen who crossed the border in both directions. It was especially popular among French-Canadian loggers who adapted to their own use an earlier song called "Le p'tit bois d'lail." It had an opening stanza identifying the hero as the captain of a regiment but it lacked the rollicking refrain found here. The song is not about life in the woods, rather it is a paddling song, a type of work song sung by men as they traveled by raft or canoe. Not unlike a sea shanty, paddling songs provided laborers both entertainment and a pace while they worked. According to Edith Fowke, in many ways, it is the most thoroughly Canadian: "Its hero is not a prince with a silver gun or a knight riding along a French road, but a habitant lad who goes to call on his girl and is rebuffed for being too fickle." The version sung here contains lyrical alterations made by Mr. Parent. He did not change the story, but simply infused some personal details into the basic story. These changes are marked by brackets that contain Mr. Parent's version of the song. See the notes following the English translation for more details on these alterations.
Par un dimanche au soir m'en allant promener
Et moi et puis [Octave] tous deux de compagnee,
Chez le bonhomm' [Joe Cormier] – nous avons 'te veiller,
Je vais vous raconter l'tour qui m'est arrive.
Youpe! Youpe! Sur la riviere!
Vous ne m'entendez guere,
Youpe! Youpe! Sur la riviere!
Vous ne m'entendez pas.
J'y allumai ma pipe comme c'etait la facon,
Disant quelques parol's aux gens de la maison.
Je dis [la grosse Lucille]: "Me permettriez-vous
De m'eloigner des autr's pour m'approcher de vous?"
"Ah! Oui, vraiment," dit-elle, "avec un grand plaisir.
Tu es venu ce soir c'est seul'ment pour en rire;
Tu es trop infidele pour me parler d'amour:
T'as la p'tit' Jeremie que tu aimes toujours."
Revenons au bonhomme, qu'est dans son lit couche,
Criant a haute voix: "[Lucille], va te coucher!
Les gens de la [p'tite montagne], des vill's et des faurbourgs,
Retirez-vous d'ici, car il fait bientot jour!"
J' n'attends pas qu'on me l'dise pour la [deuxieme],
Et je dis a [Octave]: "T'en viens-tu quand et moi?
Bonsoir, ma [gross poutine], je file mon chemin!"
Je m'en allays nu-tete, mon chapeau a la main.
'Twas on a Sunday night I went to take the air,
Myself and then [Octave] we were a friendly pair.
We made a midnight call on [Joe Cormier] that good man,
And now I'll tell you all the things that happened then.
Youpe! Youpe! River along!
Hearing me faintly far off.
Youpe! Youpe! River along!
Hearing me faintly afar.
I lighted up my pipe, just as I always do,
And passed the time of day to all the folks I knew.
I said to [fat Lucille], "Oh will you be so kind,
To step aside and hear what I have on my mind?."
"Ah, yes, indeed!" she said, "delighted I shall be,
You come this evening to make a fool of me.
But you're too fickle far to speak to me of love,
You have your Jeremie, you call your little dove."
Meanwhile the old man there is lying in his bed,
And crying out aloud, "[Lucille] be off to bed!
Now all you country folk, or city folk, I say
Good night! Be gone from here! For it will soon be day!"
I did not wait until he spoke a second time,
And I said to [Octave], "Let's seek another clime.
Good evening, [my big fat dumpling], the road is looking grand!"
Bareheaded I went off, my hat within my hand.
Notes on the lyrics: Octave was an actual friend of Mr. Parent and he is substituted here for the character of Francois. The pair visits the house of Joe Cormier, Mr. Parent's father-in-law, who replaces a man named Gauthier from the printed version. At the house Mrs. Parent, or Lucille (described as large or fat in verses two and five), replaces the fictional character Delima. The only other major change in the song is the use of Mr. Parent's home in the fourth verse: "la p'tite montagne" was the area in the valley where he was from. The final change is only the substitution of one phrase meaning "second time" for another in the final verse.

Are newspapers becoming obsolete? Perish the thought
Original post made by dolores ciardelli on Feb 8, 2007
So what do you think is the future of newspapers? Are they really doomed? That seems to be the prediction, that in the near future we will sit at the breakfast table reading the news on our laptops. Sounds grim to me, but that's just me. I don't want to have to be too careful about spilling my coffee.
I like to remember that when television came out everyone predicted that radio would not survive. But it's doing fine, at least in our cars.
So what do you think? How do you like to receive your news?
on Feb 9, 2007 at 8:19 am
Hard to imagine that newspapers will completely disappear... anymore than electronics have ended the lives of books, or VCR/DVDs have ended movie theaters, or the typewriter has ended the need for pencils. Maybe you'll start delivering the DW by CD for home printing... hey...
Congrats on the redesign - it looks great!

I read national news exlusively online, and local news online more and more. I grew up reading the front page and sports of the San Jose Mercury, but I can get all that information from cnn.com, espn.com, or yahoo now... It's just easier for me.
on Feb 9, 2007 at 12:53 pm
I receive my news both tangibly in the form of magazines and newspapers, which come in tabloid or broadsheet formats, and also online.
Because of time contraints and an unwillingness to spend money on tangible publications daily, I read my news online most of the time. I sift through the following Web sites: BBC World News, NY Times online, Washingtonpost online, Sfgate.com, Latimes.com, nj.com, nydailynews.com, msnbc.com, newyorker.com, vanity fair.com, and other online sources, which contain many kinds of information.
I think it's interesting to witness the evolution of how journalism and communication is presented to the public.

Patterson served as the Eagles head coach for four years, amassing a 14-26 record.
"The reason I was interested in being the head coach was because of the quality of kids we have here," Holmes said.
"They are hard-working kids. That goes a long way. There is also great community support here. Sumiton Christian is a good school to be a part of. I actually had a job offer in Florida, but I turned it down to stay here. Knowing the type of kids I'm dealing with here is huge and being familiar with the people in the community helps tremendously."
Holmes, 29, graduated from Falkville High School in 2001.
He played one year at Maryville (Tenn.) College before transferring to Huntingdon College in Montgomery.
He graduated from Huntingdon in 2006 and coached at the school as a graduate assistant and running backs coach before heading to Brindlee Mountain High School in Guntersville, where he served as the offensive coordinator for four years.
He's been the defensive coordinator under Patterson for the last two years. He said the Eagles made some strides on the defensive side in 2012.
"The thing I will say about the kids last year is that defensively, we actually got better in most of the categories we keep track of. We did better than the year before. We caused more than 20 turnovers. We caused six turnovers against Corner and our only points were on a defensive touchdown. Defensively, we did some really big things. The kids bought into the system. That's the potential that I see. If they buy into the whole team system like they bought into the defense, it will be something that will be fun to watch."
Sumiton Christian finished one game out of the playoffs last season, taking fifth in Class 1A, Region 6 behind Ragland, Addison, Falkville and Meek.
The Eagles started the season 2-0 in 2012 before a 27-24 loss to Meek — coupled with an injury to playmaker DeMonte Hobbs — started a five-game losing streak. Sumiton Christian finished the season 3-6.
"Our region has some good teams in it. I think there were some teams that surprised people last year. I think Falkville did a lot better than people expected. Then you've got Ragland and Addison who are always strong. Our non-region schedule is tough. We've got Collinsville, who will be a top 10 1A team and Corner, who is 4A," Holmes added.
"The schedule is tough, but we should be able to compete. We have good enough talent here to compete. We have to get headed in the right direction. We are going to put a quality product out there and it will be good enough to compete."
Holmes said the interest in the football program has grown heading into spring practice.
"We've got a ton of kids who play other sports that need to playing football who are signed up and excited about it. We've got 38 kids ninth through 12th," he said.
The Eagles also have plenty of experience returning, though they will have to replace play-making quarterback Austin Clark.
"We've got four of our five starters back on the offensive line. On the defensive line, we are returning four guys who started at some point," Holmes said.
"We've got Josh Yates and Trace Busby who both played a lot at linebacker and are coming back. DeMonte Hobbs, who played receiver and corner, is coming back. We've got a lot of young kids coming back."
Sumiton Christian opens spring practice on May 6 and the Eagles will close out the spring with a Cardinal-White game.

Heard Up North: an old fashioned corn harvester
Oct 25, 2011 — The late Roger Huntley was a lot of things: auctioneer, farmer, pillar of the Pierrepont-Crary Mills community. He was also a knowledgeable collector of historic farm equipment, and he liked to share his enthusiasm.
A few years ago, Huntley's neighbor, David Sommerstein, got a call that Roger and his wife Ann had brought out their early-1900s mechanical corn harvester to make corn bundles for Halloween with their granddaughters. Here's David's heard Up North from October 2007. Go to full article

The Future of Corn
Mill Valley, CA, Feb 16, 2010 — You might think you know corn - as in corn tortillas, corn-flakes, corn-bread and so on. But do you really know corn? Like, did you know that our last harvest could be one of our biggest, or that most American corn is genetically modified? Shawn Allee reports experts want us to get re-acquainted with our biggest crop because we need to make huge decisions about its future. Go to full article

Oct 08, 2007 — Here's a family tradition that combines the harvest and Halloween seasons. Roger and Ann Huntley of Pierrepont own a mechanical corn harvester from the early 1900s, and it still works. They brought their granddaughters out to the cornfield to make corn bundles for Halloween decorations, and for today's Heard Up North. Go to full article
Ethanol: running the well dry?
Aug 20, 2007 — It's no surprise that the Corn Belt is the heart of the ethanol boom. Two main ingredients you need to make ethanol are corn and water. There's no shortage of corn of course, and in most places it's assumed there's also plenty of water. But as Rebecca Williams reports, even people in water-rich states are getting concerned about ethanol's thirst for groundwater. Go to full article
GAO: biofuel distribution problems
Jun 26, 2007 — U.S. energy policy may be headed in a new direction after a compromise vote in the Senate last week, toward renewable fuels and conservation. The Senate voted 65-27 to approve its bill Thursday night. The bill includes the first rise in gas mileage, or CAFE, standards in 20 years. It also would require a major increase in ethanol production, to at least 36 billion gallons annually by 2022, seven times what the industry produced last year. But the federal government has no comprehensive plan to deal with an expected increase in the production of biofuels. That's according to a new study from the Government Accountability Office. Dustin Dwyer reports that the lack of a plan has some real consequences. Go to full article
Corn ethanol: farmland conservation takes a back seat
by Julie Grant
Jun 01, 2007 — Federal farmland conservation program have saved water, soil and wildlife through simple set-asides. That's when farmers get paid to take some cropland out of production. It protects waterways and provides wildlife habitat. It makes sense for the soil, too. But, in the second of our two-part series on ethanol, Julie Grant reports that as demand for corn and soybeans for ethanol production grows, farmland conservation is taking a back seat.

The Biofuel Economy, part 3: switchgrass and solid fuel
by Greg Warner
Sep 22, 2006 — Solid fuel isn't a sexy technology, but it's amazingly energy efficient. In fact there's really no comparison. The amount of energy you get burning corn in a corn stove, say, is way more than you'd get out of ethanol from the same corn. But the United States has always been a liquid fuel economy. Our infrastructure and our government subsidies reflect that. And so with alternative energy, liquid fuels like ethanol and biodiesel get a lot more attention. It's different in Europe. Now many farmers are looking across the Atlantic to find solutions for the North Country. Gregory Warner reports. Go to full article
A Year on the Farm: The sound of corn growing

Our willing farmer is Bob Andrews in the town of Fowler near Gouverneur. Last episode, David learned all about hay. The other big crop for dairy farmers is corn, and it's Bob Andrews' favorite. So today's edition of A Year on the Farm is an ode to corn. Go to full article
A more efficient way to make ethanol?
Aug 07, 2006 — The cost of oil is topping out near 70 dollars a barrel and the nation is sending billions of dollars to unstable foreign countries to get it. With that in mind, many Americans have begun to think about biofuels from domestic crops. Biofuels such as corn ethanol and soy diesel are the most popular right now. But researchers are looking into plants that don't require the fertilizers and pesticides those crops need. The GLRC's Richard Annal reports on one crop that could make ethanol much more efficiently.

With transit workers in California's Bay Area returning to work, ending a strike that paralyzed the nation's fifth-largest train system, take a look back at the 10 biggest strikes in U.S. history.
6. Textile Workers Strike of 1934 -- On Labor Day in 1934, after years of long hours and low wages, more than 400,000 American textile workers on the East Coast went on strike in response to what they believed was negligent representation of textile labor in President Franklin D. Roosevelt's National Recovery Administration. A lack of outside support forced the strike to end after just 20 days.

Monie is right. Not that I'm any good but I try to get out and shoot 20-35 in a setting and if I start to stray even a little with my shots I stop.
I only shoot about 12 arrows at a time.
Durring 3D season I'll shoot a few more just to get the stamina up.
If you are just getting started find your way to a few 3D shoots. Nothing will build your confidence more (except hunting). Don't worry about the score or missing. We all do it!

With that said...remember Ted Nugent can and does pull 70lbs. However, he mostly hunts with his bow set around 50 lbs.
Just because you CAN pull 65lbs or 70lbs doesn't mean you SHOULD.
One thing to remember, especially since you're new at this, when hunting season rolls around, you won't be practicing as much, it'll be cold and at times you'll be sitting for hours. When the time comes, there's a really good chance you won't be able to pull your bow back if you leave it at your current draw weight. If you can, you'll likely struggle and spook the deer. Why? When you're sitting on stand for several hours in cold temps your muscles aren't as useful and cooperative as you'd like them to be. Coupled with that is the fact that your baby (your bow) is cold, too. Colder temps make bow limbs stiffen. The stiffened limbs increase your draw weight. Increased draw weight + cold muscles usually = no deer. I know this for a fact! My very first deer was 10 yards away. I'd been sitting there in the cold, "toughing it out". I couldn't pull that dang string back to save my life! Off she went, blowing and blowing and blowing. Yeah...my struggle with the bow kinda spooked her. lol
If it will make you feel better to shoot more weight, then you should work up to it. At this point, you really need to be concentrating on your form. Even if you could shoot 70 lbs all day long, it won't matter if your form sucks. If you decide to keep the draw weght up there, just remember to drop the weight a couple of weeks before deer season gets under way, so you can get your bow and broadheads tuned in. Like I said, it's easier to form good habits than it is to break bad habits.
To see if your draw weight is too much, do this: Sit on a chair, hold your bow directly in front of you and pull straight back. DO NOT point the bow to the sky/ceiling to draw. If you can't pull straight back without struggling or pointing your bow upwards, to get more leverage, then it is definitely too much. Your draw should be smooth from start to finish.
If you're not leaning, no one can let you down.
The lowest draw weight my bow will go to is around 60 lbs. Will five lbs. make a significant difference or do I need to buy new limbs?

You should be fine. Just take it slow.

Once the bow's draw weight is down as far as it'll go, just practice. Concentrate on your form. If you are shooting archery targets aim for the x. I know that seems dumb to even suggest, but some people aim for the general area of the x and not the x itself. You'll be surprised how much your groups will shrink once you aim exactly at the x. If you don't have an x to aim at, stick a golf tee in your target or a little piece of tape. Don't over-do your practice sessions. When you start to feel tired and/or sore, stop.
When you're sick and tired of being technical, mix it up and have fun. Tie a piece of string to an arrow and on the other end tie a plastic bottle cap (poke a hole in the cap). Jab the arrow into the target so the cap dangles in the middle of it. If available, and you're indoors, get a box fan, turn it on low and aim it at the cap. Once the cap is fluttering around, step back and have fun trying to bust that little sucker! It's a good idea to have several caps on hand to replace the broken ones. This is addicting!

No offense to Monie, but the bottle cap thing, although a GREAT idea, really only resulted in busted egos at our place. That's not to say that later on it wasn't/isn't used. I think we moved to that before we should have, and got very frustrated VERY quickly.
Before we moved to bottle caps, we got a role of masking tape and tried to group in that at 16 yards. Once we had all 12 shots in the masking tape roll, then we moved to a smaller ring (shower curtain ring), and a smaller ring (I don't rememeber what we used now... stupid alzhiemers!), and eventually got to the bottle caps.
Now... I say this not to irritate or contradict my good friend and confidant in Indiana... but more to the point, it helps you establish a progressive goal structure, achieve the goal, and move on to the next challenge. During the progressions, you achieve more and more confidence with your bow, and you KNOW... without a doubt... what that bow will do, and won't do.
Once you've become proficient and confident with it, but before moving to the bottle caps, I would purchase a 3D target of some kind, and work on shot placement while working on the bottle caps. I suggest "while working on the caps" because by the time you get to this stage, HITTING the 3D target should be a snap. But we want to make an ethical kill on the animal, so... simply HITTING it isn't enough.
Finally, once you've accomplished the bottle caps, and you are able to ethically kill the 3D target from various angles both horizontal and vertical, then I would work at taking a moving target with your bow. Animals move. You want to be ready for anything so when the time comes... you don't suffer, and niether does your target.
Again... I started in January of this year. Literally. We took advice from EVERYONE here in one form or another, and this is what worked for us. Just something to consider.
MONIE: Hey where was the box fan idea when I was asking this stuff??? That's awesome!

If your just looking for fun try balloons. We also did milk jugs tied to a string and let it sway.
There is always follow the leader but that only works if you shootin with someone else and you don't mind messin up a couple arrows....

No offense taken, Rick.
Took the bottle cap thing too seriously, huh? lol...sorry. I do it to just plink and have fun. I think your idea is much better.
Like I said before, you're than man! Shh, don't tell Cheri I said that!

A bill was introduced by Minnesota State Sen. Bruce Anderson (R-Buffalo) to recognize Cordell Keith Haugen's "Minnesota Blue" as the official state poem.
Minnesota has a long list of official state symbols:
Bird: Loon
Butterfly: Monarch
Drink: Milk
Fish: Walleye
Flower: Ladyslipper
Fruit: Honeycrisp apple
Gemstone: Lake Superior agate
Grain: Wild rice
Muffin: Blueberry
Mushroom: Morel
Sport: Hockey
Tree: Norway pine
Should we add a poem to the list?
Minnesota, how I love you
Minnesota, I've been away too long
How I miss your clean fresh air, your lakes and rivers too
How I miss your Minnesota Blue
Do your golden fields of wheat and corn
Still shimmer in the early morn
Waving to the clouds as they drift by
Do moose and bear still rule the earth
In the Red River Valley of my birth
Do the Northern Lights still dance across your sky
Does the North Star still guide you
Do your farmers still provide you
With the way of life that we all learned to share
Do they still follow the Golden Rule
And dress up each week for Sunday School
Do your families still give thanks for living there
Are your skies still free of smoke and haze
Do your old folks still remember days
When your skyline was a grove of Norway pines
Does the North Wind whistle through your trees
Can you still smell wildflowers on the breeze
Do bass and pike still play with fishing lines
Do your children still walk the rails
Or discover hidden Indian trails

The service was a bit slow because it was a very busy Saturday night, but we were not in a hurry. Highly recommend this restaurant and we will be back. My only suggestion for improvement is to change laundry service for their napkins. This is the first restaurant ANYWHERE (and I've eaten in thousands of restaurants around the US and Europe) where the napkins smelled strongly of detergent, to the point that everytime I wiped my mouth there was a lingering perfume that interfered with my enjoyment of the wine and food.Special Features:
- Anniversary Dinnerfoodie26Dined on 8/15/2014We tried Wisteria on a Saturday night for our anniversary based on great reviews and recommendations. It did not disappoint. Every aspect of the meal and service was outstanding. The tables are a little too close together. Even our server had issues fitting between the table beside us and our table. He had to reach and stretch a lot, and he was of average build. I felt sorry for him because it was a little awkward. The chairs were a bit uncomfortable also. Not terrible, but not comfortable. I will definitely go back because the food was so awesome. But I wish the comfort aspect would be addressed. I would go far more often if they would.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I had a very informative Server who was super nice. He suggested the Salmon on a salad and wow was that tasty. My daughter got the Shrimp and Grits and it was pretty good ( well the little bite that I got ) After dinner we started walking to the Variety Playhouse, but a storm urged us to take a cab. After our event at the Variety Playhouse, we took a cab back to Wisteria for dessert, and YUMMY bread pudding, banana pudding and then a sea salt Caramel smore, REALLY oh that was so delicious. Perfect place to eat and we will go there again in the very near future.Special Features:

- Yummy!!time2dineDined on 8/2/2014My favorite things about Wisteria are the ambiance, service and the food. The ambiance is trendy, but not snobby. It felt like we were out to a fancy meal but still comfortable. The service goes above and beyond what I've experienced in other nice restaurants. You can tell they work hard to please their guests. My husband had the Georgia peach salad and pork tenderloin, and I had the beef tenderloin. It was all cooked perfectly and very tasty, but I think my beef tenderloin won. The greens mac-n-cheese that accompanied it was amazing! We can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedPTCfoodieDined on 8/2/2014Didn't meet my expectations. Appetizer portion was smaller than the price warranted. The plating of the food was attractive, but the fish was overcooked. It was a Saturday night around 6PM, so they weren't busy yet (there were only 3 other tables occupied). Service was good. As with any other small restaurant, the tables were cramped and the noise level was high. "Sandwich" bread is served versus fresh dinner rolls or artisan Italian/French bread. My round trip drive was an hour each way..........I won't return. Several of my friends recommended Wisteria....maybe it was just a "bad" night.
- perfect eveningsambeccaDined on 8/1/2014We recently went to Wisteria to celebrate a wedding anniversary. The staff was friendly, accommodating , and very knowledgeable about the wine list and the food. Everything we ate was wonderful. We had the trout and the shrimp and grits and were truly impressed with both dishes. Definitely try the smores dessert with caramel and sea salt...it is to die for.Special Features:
- Wisteria Delivers AgainSampansVIPDined on 8/1/2014Our second visit to Wisteria and it delivered again. I read some of the reviews before booking again and wondered if something happened, specifically the reviews about diners being "shooed" out of their table. We had a 7 p.m. reservation and we did not feel rushed once coffee and dessert was served. We left around 9:20 p.m. As in our first visit we were promptly seated and our waiter came an introducted himself to us, welcomed us and took drink orders. We ordered appetizers (pimento devil eggs a must) and a nice bottle of wine. Dinner for four, with four martinis and two Old Fashions, along with bottle of wine, appetizers (two) and entrees, topped out at $320 with tip. Excellent service, excellent food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, bad ambianceJfellingVIPDined on 8/1/2014I wish this restaurant would change its seating plan. If you come in for a table for two, the only option is to sit in a long row of tables very close to all of the other two and four table diners.it really detracts from the whole dining experience. The food was good, but just not exceptional enough to put up with the seating arrangement.

- What A Find!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/26/2014At the last minute my wife and I decided on a weekend trip to Atlanta. Just going to Wisteria was worth the trip. Thank you so muchSpecial Features:
- Noise level over the top, too tightfliboizDined on 7/25/2014Don't waste your time or money, tables practically on top of each other, can't hear anything, it is like being in a barn with no hay and 1000 hens cackling, bummer for special occasion we were there for.
- Not like it used to beVioletVIPDined on 7/22/2014We used to go to Wisteria quite a bit because it was on the way home from work. We recently decided to go back and found that it wasn't the same. The service was good, but the food was not. We started by sharing the salmon tartar app and it was very bland. I asked about it before ordering to see if the waiter liked it, and he highly recommended it. Really, almost no seasoning so it was basically the salmon, not smoked, on homemade crackers (the crackers were good). My husband ordered the cod, which was the special. It was the smallest piece of fish I have ever seen and was $27. Additionally, it was very overcooked. I had the almond crusted trout. It wasn't terrible, but certainly wasn't good. Not a good meal.
- Good experienceUpisDownVIPDined on 7/18/2014Really good bar setup and a comfortable romantic setting. My wife had several glasses of wine that our server recommended and I had a quality draft beer. The food was GREAT, I had the fish and my wife had the steak - spot on. We dine out a lot and this was a nice blend of location, ease of parking, good food and good drinks. I recommend highly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We hadn't been here in awhile and decided to bring a friend who was here from out of town. He is a real foodie and has traveled the world. Everything was delicious, portions weren't skimpy and he raved about the place. We will definitely put Wisteria on the top of our dining out list.Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 7/13/2014We work in ATL twice a year. Everytime we are here we eat at our favorite restaurant in ATL , Wisteria. Time and time again we are impressed by the food. The scallop appetizer this time was outstanding and over the top and we wanted more. As always, the food was excellent and our manager who was with us now uses Wisteria for his business entertaining. Kudos to the front door management. We ran late, called in and they were kind enough to hold the table until we arrived.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- >$200 and asked to leave?DaveDined on 7/12/2014Don't get me wrong, the food is good, but I will explain what is not good. We were offered desert at the end of the meal which we declined due to being too full. We asked for the check to pay. After paying and tipping, we proceeded to finish our conversations before leaving. After 5 minutes from paying we were asked to leave or go to the bar. I'm sorry but I'm not going to drop over $200 on a dinner to be asked to leave. The manager was a huge d!ck and unfortunately, my wife and I won't be remembering the food, we'll be remembering our final experience of the evening.Special Features:
- Excellent food and service, but...JSF22VIPDined on 7/12/2014The food at Wisteria is fresh, imaginative, of high quality, and very tasty. The service strikes exactly the right balance of being solicitous and friendly without being overbearing or too familiar. The problem is the atmosphere. The tables are packed closer together than almost any other restaurant in town, which really ruins the experience. And -- though it is a little thing -- the tableware, especially the flatware, looks like something you would find in a college food service or a furnished relocation apartment. Much too downscale for what they are trying to do here. This is one of those rare places where we had a great meal but are unlikely to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Review: Michael Stanley & the Resonators at Packard Music Hall
October 13, 2013 - Andy Gray
Michael Stanley had a reunion backstage Saturday before his concert at Packard Music Hall.
Several of the old Michael Stanley Band crew guys with Mahoning Valley ties showed up at the venue to surprise Stanley, including former road manager Jim Soffos, monitor man Pat Scardina and lighting man Cyril Turek. And Stanley introduced them during the encore of the two-hour-plus show.
He also recognized Warren native Dan Montecalvo, who couldn't join the others on stage because he still works as Stanley's sound board operator, the job he's had for 37 years.
It safe to describe what happened on stage as a reunion too. There may have been a few first-timers in the crowd of about 1,500, but many were long-time fans who had the concert T-shirts and the old vinyl to prove it. These are the people who helped fill Richfield Coliseum and Blossom Music Center all those years ago (and thanked God for the man who put the white lines on the highway as they made the trek back home).
Saturday's show was a little more laid back than last year's concert at the Warren Community Amphitheatre. Both the band and the crowd seemed a bit more mellow.
"We're not at Tomorrow Club speed anymore," said Stanley, a reference to one of the old Youngstown venues MSB playing in the mid-'70s.
It wasn't until the 14th song of the night, "Lover," that more than a smattering of folks got up on their feet.
Up to that point, Stanley and his band, the Resonators, mixed old favorites like "Midwest Midnight," "Let's Get the Show on the Road" and "Rosewood Bitters" with newer songs like "The Hang" and "I Am You" as well as covers that Stanley has recorded (The Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody" and Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane").
Former MSB bandmate Jonah Koslen, who opened last year's Amp show, wasn't there Saturday, so the Resonators played "Nothing's Gonna Change My Mind" with lead guitar player Danny Powers handling lead vocal chores.
"Lover" led into "Somewhere in the Night," which closed the main set. The Resonators returned for a three-song encore of "In the Heartland, "Working Again" (which included bits of "Bo Diddley" and "Who Do You Love") and the finale "My Town."
Stanley already knows it, but the response to the last song showed, once again, that Warren (and the Mahoning Valley) always will be his town too.

Raiders DE Richard Seymour, given the "exclusive" franchise tag by the club in February, has signed his one-year tender, the club announced Saturday.
The exclusive franchise tag precluded other clubs from negotiating with Seymour.
Per the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Seymour is guaranteed at least $12.398 million in 2010 — the average of the top five salaries paid to defensive ends in 2009 — or the average 2010 salary of the top five highest-paid defensive ends as of the end of restricted free agency, whichever is greater.
Seymour, 30, whom the Patriots traded to Oakland last September, started all 16 games for the Raiders in 2009, recording 47 tackles and four sacks.

Darkness creeps across the water as the glow of the sun fades below the western horizon. It is night. For some, it's a time of high anxiety when running a boat. Humans are visual. When the lights go out, we get nervous. Rightfully so, for who knows what might go bump in the night?
Yet, nighttime navigators need not bite their nails. With the right equipment and decent weather, a night cruise can be safe, enjoyable, adventurous and even romantic.
Fortunately, there are more tools than ever to enhance or supplant our vision when navigating at night. GPS/chart plotters, detailed electronic cartography, advanced radar, thermal imaging, night-vision scopes and spotlights not only increase the safety factor but also inspire enough confidence to enjoy boating after dark.
Slow and Easy
The first rule of night boating is to slow down, no matter what high-tech navigation equipment you have on board. Even on a moonlit evening, you just can't see as well as during the day. Objects won't come into view until they are fairly close. If you're going too fast, you might not be able to maneuver quickly enough to avoid a collision with an unlit object such as a crab-pot buoy or floating timber.
The best speed on any given night depends on visibility. During a full moon, you might feel comfortable running the boat a bit faster than you would on a night when everything fades to black. Are you in open isolated water, or are you bound by the confines of a narrow channel? The locale plays into how fast is safe as well. The important thing is not to rush. Just like on a romantic date, take it easy, cowboy.

North Dakota's growth in population is showing no signs of slowing down as it makes it's way east from oil country.
Kelli Volk was in Surrey this week where signs point toward expansion of the town just a few miles from Minot.
The hometown vibe thrives along Pleasant Avenue; however, evidence around town suggests this could become the path more traveled.
Surrey's population is just shy of 1400, but city officials say that number could triple in years to come if the variables align with the city's masterplan.
Houses are under construction and some have been finished at the Silver Springs development.
One project official says over a dozen families have already moved in to the new homes.
(Rich Priesing, Silver Spring Vice President of Operations)"It's a mix. It's a mix of people coming in for the first time and people who are selling their homes in the Minot or even Surrey area to take part in this community."
More families in the area, means higher attendance for Surrey Public School.
The Fall Semester just kicked off with attendance up by 40 students, which requires more space for learning.
School officials spent the summer months preparing for the influx of students.
(Kevin Klassen, Surrey Public School, Superintendent)"It's been a very short three months because of all the things we've been dealing with, trying to get the portables in place and things into that nature. It's exciting."
The expansion is even spreading to the City's law enforcement department.
Surrey Chief of Police, Pete Schneider says the department is planning to upgrade its staff from two police officers to three full time and one par time.
Challenges are inevitable during expansion, but it is the city's hope that it will lead down the path to prosperity.
In Surrey, Kelli Volk, KX News.
Aside from the houses being built, a park area is also being constructed at the Silver Springs Development in Surrey.

Dys4ia tackles gender politics, sense of self, and personal growth… on Newgrounds
Dys4ia is a game that feels like an interactive page from someone's diary. I'm not going to say what it's about, and I urge you to go play it before you read the rest of the story. It won't take more than a few minutes, and the less you know about what you're going to see, play, and do in the game the better. Don't worry, we'll be here when you get back. The first question is the most obvious: Why tell this story with a video game? Why not write about it? "Games have this capacity for exploring dynamics and systems that no other form does," Anna Anthropy, the game's creator, told the Penny Arcade Report. "This was a story about frustration - in what other form do people complain as much about being frustrated? A video game lets you set up goals for the player and make her fail to achieve them. A reader can't fail a book. It's an entirely different level of empathy." That's why Dys4ia is such an interesting game; it deals with subject matter that most of us aren't familiar with, and asks us to interact with it on a personal level. Do I know how going through the problems described in the game feels? Not in the slightest. I'm a straight, white, male. It's hard for me to relate when I read books or articles about these issues, but there is something special that happens when the mechanics of games are used to get the point across. Suddenly things click into place, and it feels immediate. The struggles of the game's protagonist became real.
But is it a game?
There is a common criticism these days that "experiences" like Dear Esther, Journey, and Dys4ia aren't games. It's a distinction that Anthropy finds tiresome. "It's really absurd to me because all of Dys4ia's screens are very traditional games in a lot of ways," she said. "They're all about interacting with rules, the limitations of which are always pretty clear. I think a lot of the 'is it a game?' talk comes from, well, the fact that gamers are afraid of anything that looks different than what they're familiar with, first of all. And second, that the game isn't challenging. The player is allowed to, or set up to, fail in many scenes, but the game continues to the next scene regardless." In a traditional game, the player may be asked to guide the nipples through the spikes over and over until they clear that particular section. "But how does that help tell the story? What does snagging a nipple on a spike a second or third time tell us that we didn't already know?" Anthropy asked. "A lot of games, I think, force the player to repeat scenes because they're afraid of being seen as skill-less, even when the repetition doesn't serve the story the game is telling. But it's engaging with a set of rules that defines a game, not having one's time wasted." Dys4ia uses the vocabulary of video games in order to share emotions that may not have been as easily described in words. It's one thing to say you don't feel comfortable in your own skin. It's quite another to show someone how that feels with a short game. The moment where you try to fit the character through the slot in the wall is particularly telling. There's no reason that someone couldn't fit through there, but it clearly wasn't designed for you. That scene suggests that the structure isn't wrong, you are wrong. It's an elegant way to communicate the idea of being upset at your body, or feeling different and unwelcome. Abstraction went a long way when Anthropy decided to share these very intimate details about her life. "The scene about my girlfriend making me cry - my girl who transformed my ideas of privacy and made me realize how liberating and empowering it is to have so much of my private life public - actually encompasses a big cluster of insecurities relating to our relationship," she said. Their sex life suffered during the events of the game. "I spent a lot of sleepless nights worrying our relationship had become sterile and she was going to leave or reject me as a result, the truth is she supported me tirelessly throughout the entire experience." These are complex issues about sexual and gender identity, and it seems odd to find this sort of thing on Newgrounds, but that's by design. "I wanted to put the game on Newgrounds because I wanted to take people out of their comfort zones, to confront them with the other they're so often afraid of," she explained. "But I was surprised that so many people, on Newgrounds and in other communities, connected with the game, even if they don't 100 percent get it." People began leaving personal stories in the comment threads, or e-mailing Anthropy directly. "This is a game that people related to, many more people than I was expecting. and that means the game is an overwhelming success." Dys4ia shows that games can be used just as effectively as the written word or film to convey subtle emotions and situations, as long the hand creating the game is skillful. The game also exposes a wider audience to a reality many people face when dealing with their bodies and sexuality. They may not want to read a magazine article about these issues, but play a game? It's possible.

Aside from having absolutely no place to set anything down in except a cup of coffee this car has been pretty great. I bought it used with 100,000 miles and don't have a single regret. This is strictly a point A to point B car. It isn't cool, it rides pretty rough, doesn't handle the snow at all and it feels even smaller that my 1997 Saturn SL2 but it always starts and goes exactly how it should. I do have a small problem with the A/C that I hope to get cleared up. For the price that I payed I honestly don't think there is a car that will come close to the reliability that this car has showed me. I bought this car for my sister who is a single mom so she can simply get her kids and stuff from place to place without having to go fix her car weekly. She no longer needs it and now I drive it but it was the perfect vehicle for someone in her shoes.

This is one of the most restricting vehicles I've driven, as far as foot room, location of controls, etc. Storage is very limited in the front and the glove box isn't easy to access/see into. Seems to handle ok, but a bit noisy. Does have good cargo area, plenty of room for groceries and such, especially with the drop-down rear seat.

We bought this lovely vehicle brand new in 2000 for my mother. It has been given to me as a payed off car for my first car. Of course, it being a wagon, it is lacking the chick magnet, but I must say that as an in depth percussionist, the trunk size is very nice and handy. Also, even though she is a station wagon, she has power! You touch that gas peddle and I promise you that you WILL be going somewhere EVEN WITH 350+ of equipment loaded in the back of it and 3 people in there each weighing about 200 pounds! She holds herself true and even though she has 116000 miles (just hit that land mark the other day! =]) she runs beautiful. A couple of creaks and groans here and there but like my father says, that car is like my grandfather, even though as he gets older and older you here more and more odd noises but hes still running! Overall a very beautiful and safe car!
