|Joint Media Release
6 August 1998
The eighth round of Green Corp projects beginning in September will see an ACT team establish a wildlife corridor along the Murrumbidgee River near Kambah.
The Parliamentary Secretary for the Environment, Senator Ian Macdonald, and the Parliamentary Secretary for Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs, Tony Abbott, announced 27 new projects Australia wide, which will provide places for 270 young Australians aged between 17 and 20 years.
Senator Macdonald said the projects complemented the Howard Government's environmental rescue package, the $1.25 billion Natural Heritage Trust, with links to Trust programs such as Bushcare and Endangered Species.
"The ACT Green Corps team will plant native shrubs and trees to establish a wildlife corridor in the Allens and McQuoids Creek sub-catchment of the Murrumbidgee River.
"They also will build fences to protect native vegetation and remove the exotic plant Pinus Radiata from creek banks."
Mr Abbott said that the Green Corps projects funded so far had been extremely successful. The continued high number of applications showed that the program was on the right track in assisting young people to reach their future potential while helping to restore the environment.
The announcement of the eighth round of Green Corps projects marks the continued delivery of a key election commitment by the Howard Government. The $42 million program will provide opportunities for 3500 young Australians over a two year period.

Frost heaves
North Country roads take annual pounding
It's also good news for road agents and state Department of Transportation employees, who can start their summer maintenance and road projects. For towns, that means sweeping winter's sand off the pavement, crack-sealing it, and clearing out culverts, plus getting started on the larger projects approved by town meeting voters.
"It's no different than any other year," said John Arruda, Madison selectman. He said this year the town is rebuilding a bridge on East Madison Road, a project that will cost around $200,000. They'll work on another bridge next year, and after that rebuild East Madison Road, which Arruda said, "is at least a $1 million project."
In Freedom, Selectman Neal Boyle would like the state to be more aggressive in fixing one of the secondary state roads that serves local residents and visitors, Cushing Corner Road from Route 153 to Freedom Village.
"The road to Bagdad is in better condition than this road," he commented. Work on the road, he said, is on the bottom of the state's list. He said that the town took it upon itself to fix a section of another unnumbered state road, Moulton Road, which was an immediate hazard to drivers.
It's unlikely that work on the road will float up to the top of the state's Ten Year Plan anytime soon. Jeff Hayes, executive director of the North Country Council, said there's a huge backlog of transportation projects, a backlog that includes the long-delayed Conway Bypass.
NCC is the regional planning agency for the northern third of the state. It's these state agencies that work with local communities to prioritize regional and local transportation infrastructure improvements and projects, including highways, public transit systems, and corridor studies. NCC serves northern Grafton and northern Carroll counties, and all of Coos County.
In the meantime, the major state highway projects this year in northern New Hampshire include: Bartlett-Gorham, guardrail and terminal unit upgrades from the Route 16 and 302 intersection in Bartlett, to the Route 16 and US 2 intersection in Gorham; Berlin, the Route 110 realignment and construction from First Avenue to Wight Street; U.S. Route 2 through Randolph, Gorham and Shelburne, paving work and bridge deck repair.
An $18 million project on Interstate 93 in Franconia and Littleton, mostly pavement rehabilitation. The bridge decks on the bridges over the Connecticut River on I-93 will be repaired.
The work on the new Route 302 Sawyer River Bridge in Hart's Location continues, and is slated to finish up at the end of the summer at the cost of $2.3 million. No traffic hold-ups here - private vehicles go over the temporary bridge installed after tropical storm Irene in 2011. About five miles of Route 302 will get repaved with rubberized chip seal.
In the meantime, a section of the East Conway Road is easier to travel, now that the frost heaves have sunk back into the ground. Several miles of it was recently rehabilitated by the state, but much of the road is still laced with cracks, ready the destructive action of next winter's freeze and thaw cycles.

At right: Don Beerbower of Beerbower Jewelers dis'- plays a heart necklace. 1 Mirror pholo illustration by ID. Cavrlch and Tom'Worthlnglon II LovMnoney Local businesses hoping to cash in on holiday expressions from the heart BY MIKE EMERY StaffWriter Valentine's Day is the time to show you care enough to send the very best, and local retailers once again are giving cus- tomers plenty of ways to show it. You can say "I love you" with flowers or fine dining; jewelry or gift baskets; wine or choco- lates; or, yes, you lovehpunds, a Valentine's Day card. And as always, local businesses are giving everyone ample opportunity to get senti- mental on Valentine's Day. Local businesses already have stocked their shelvesfor Valentine's Day. After the Christinas season, the holiday marks the only sales surge in whiter. February typically is considered one of the year's slowest months for retail sales because it lies between January's clearance sates and the arrival of spring in March. Last February, how- ever, was atypical in that consumers spent heav- ily, particularly leadingtip to Valentine's Day. Wal-Mart said its sales from stores open at least a year rose 6.1 percent in February com- pared with two years ago.. Sales from stores open at least a year, known as same-store sales, are considered toe most accurate measure of a retailer's business. Selected figures on last February's sales at leading retail chains include the following: Sears, Roebuck and Co., same-store sales rose 3.1 percent, total sales up 2.4 percent; Kmart, same-store sales up 2.7 percent, total sales up 4 percent; J.C. Pinney Co. Inc., same-store depart- ment store sales fell 2.4 percent; same-store sales at Eckerd drugstores up 4.7 percent; total sales up 5.7 percent; Target, same-store sales up 3.8 percent, total sales up 8.7 percent. Most local retailers ranked Valentine's Day as the third or fourth most lucrative holiday in regard to sales, trailing Christmas, Mother's Day and, in some cases, Easter. Jewelry salesj mostly to the Valentine's Day tend to increase Valentine's: DSyjls one of the more impor- tant holidays for said Don Beerbower of Beerbower Jewelers in HoUidaysburg and Greenwood Center, Altoona. "We get a bit of a surge in sales from the winter doldrums. "Diamond earrings, heart pendants and engagement rings are always popular items for .Valentine's he said. Another hot seller for Valentine's Day, Beerbower said, are 24-karat gold roses. Live roses are dipped and preserved in 24-karat gold. "Our most popular Valentine's Day items are engagement rings and a variety of heart- shaped jewelry, like diamond heart pendants, rings and said Charles Kranich of Kranich's Jewelers in the Logan Valley Mail "Our average sales at Valentine's Day are generally less in terms of the average dollar amounts, but in terms of units sold, it is one of our better sales days in the year." Please see A13 Colleagues bid adieu to Shuster BY ROBERT IGOE StaffWriter This week Bud Shuster will answer roll call for the final time as he officially retires as the Pennsylvania 9th District's repre- sentative to the U.S. Congress, a seat he has held since the district was created in 1972. In those 28 years, Shuster, a six- year chairman of the powerful House Transportation and Infra- structure Committee, has endured investigations, critical press and his share of controversy. But he worked to put his vision of economic strength through transportation and infrastructure improvement into action on pro- jects such as Interstate 99 in Blair and Bedford counties and on legis- lation such as the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century and the Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century, bills Which greatly expanded transportation funding. Besides seeing his ideas come tn" life, Shusterls reward for his years of service has been the praise of his colleagues in Congress, partic- ularly in the Pennsylvania delega- tion, where Shuster is considered a role model and a symbol of progress. State Rep. John Peterson, R-5th District, said Shuster has been a catalyst for improving transporta- tion in areas that long had been ignored. "He will go down in history as having put in place funding for both highways and airports that will serve this country Peterson said. "I think that those efforts are unparalleled. I don't know of any member of Congress who has done as much. "In rural America.iwe rely heav- ily upon the roads J so they're a huge need for us. And airports have been undervalued. I think he changed that." Please see A14 Mirror file photo U.S. Rep. Bud Shuster R-9th District, talks with U.S. Rep: Chris Smith, R-NJ., oh the subway from their offices to the- Capitol Building.

First attempt at turning something other than pens. The wood is supposed to be Orangewood. I got it on the bargain table at WoodCrafts in Jax, Fl. The piece of wood was 1 1/2" X 1 1/2" X 12" and the cost was $4.99. The salesman said he believed it was Orangewood and the reason it was on sale was nobody knew for sure what kind of wood it was. Turned real nice and it didn't take long. I have three coats of Pure Boiled Linseed Oil with a rub down with 0000 steel wool between coats. Now I have to make my two daughters one.

"I love the quality of this product. Good cardstock, great fonts, excellent colors. Everyone loved the square design and the gold letters. It was perfect for being sent out during the holiday season without being too Christmasy."
"I did the horizontal square card with the pearl white shimmer paper and it turned out perfect. Exactly what I wanted. Simple, modern, classic and pretty. I also used the envelopes that don't cost extra to mail and they worked perfectly too!"
"I used pictures both in sepia and warm colors on the blue background, the pictures in colors had a lot of yellow in them, and the result was beautiful. I used my son's vitals in the text as showed in the example, excluding the parents' names to make some room on the card. On the back I used a picture of Iver together with his siblings and some text. The product I received was even better than I expected, they brightened the colors on some of the pictures before printing, and the quality of the cards was excellent. Everyone who has received a card has told me they really liked it and that it was a fun design."
"This card was absolutely perfect! I love how the design does not overshadow the pictures. I ordered on a Sunday and cards were delivered on Tuesday - Amazing!!!!"
"The paper quality was outstanding. More like card not paper. I wrote personalised thank yous on the back of some and nothing showed through on the front. The back artwork added to the professional look, and we've had a lot of comments on how original, personal, and expensive the cards look. I found the template really easy to use, and my order was processed, printed, shipped and delivered to my door in Australia in 3 business days!!!"

Green Haven, Maine, is as far from the heat and violence of her past as Jane Bunker could hope for. When she trades in her career as a big-city homicide detective for a new job as a marine insurance investigator, Jane thinks that a fresh start in this sleepy seaside town will finally allow her the peace and quiet that she's been craving. But when the town drunk washes up on shore - with the back of his head smashed in - Jane realizes that Green Haven is not the quaint sanctuary she'd thought it was.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
Jane Bunker has recently moved back to a sleepy Maine community, thinking that she's earned a nice respite from murder and intrigue. But old town secrets are revealed as Bunker's forays take her deeper and deeper to the dark underbelly of deceptively idyllic Green Haven, Maine.

On Tap
Churchill's Pub & Grille
San Marcos, CA
Dark brown and auburn. Thin tan head. Regular lacing down the glass.
Earthy and slightly nutty aroma. It's a welcome departure from the pine aromatics of most other Sierra Nevada beers and definitely appropriate for the style.
Earthy and bready, a touch of caramel and a slight nuttiness, along with some hop bitterness.
My favorite part of this beer is it's mouthfeel. In my experience, brown ales tend to be relatively thin and usually lack the body and heft I enjoy in my favorite beers, though this one is big, creamy, even a touch chewy. A pleasure to drink and a great vehicle for this beer's earthy flavor.
A great, classic brown ale. One of my firsts--one of my favorites.

The ol' precursor to Tumbler. This one didn't stay in production long, I think it was only bottled one season. Anyways, brown ale poured brown, minimal head to it. Blase aroma here, fractional smell of roasted malt, but very reserved.
IBU and hops kept down in a SN beer, no way! This one was smooth, a little thicker than Newcastle. Reflections of nuttiness, caramel and toffee. Carbonation is spot on for creating a smooth experience. Not a bad beer, but with so much awesome stuff by SN, this one just didn't ever become anything I had beyond satiating my curiousity.

Had on-tap at the Sierra Nevada Draft Takeover at Bierkraft in Brooklyn, NY.
A - This beer pours a nice clearish brown color, that has a nice tan head on it. The head had good retention, and left a decent amount of lacing on the glass.
S - This smells of toasted malts, nuts, and chocolate. There is also a nice spicy hop aroma present.
T - The taste is of toasted malts, a lot of nuttiness, and a nice hop bite. There are also nice notes of bittersweet chocolate and toffee. The finish tastes of Caramel sweetness and some hoppy bitterness as well.
M - It has a nice medium body and moderate carbonation. It is nicely balanced, and there is also a slight tingly feel as well as a bit of a chewy quality to it.
D - This has high drinkability. It is one of my favorite brown ales that I have tried so far. It is nicely balanced, and has a great hop character to it. I could drink this beer all the time. It is a great beer, and I'm glad I got the chance to try it. Good job SN, good job.

The beer is dark brown, clear, has a tan head with small bubbles that leaves good lacing.
Smells vaguely of syrup, nuts and apples.
The taste is adequately malty, bread porridge, nuts and ripe apples.
Medium carbonation, soft with small bubbles and a rich body.
A very nice and determined brown ale.

On tap at Callahan's, San Diego.
Pours a clear darker brown color. Light tan head, pretty rocky, but with decent retention and a bit of lacing. Aroma is pretty mild, just malts. The flavor is pretty light as well: some roasted malts and a bit of caramel. After a short while, though, the flavor really wears thin. There just isn't much depth to what's there in the flavor. Overall the beer is pretty smooth, with mild carbonation, and light- to medium-bodied. I've had much tastier brown ales from mediocre brewpubs. Curious to try SN's new Tumbler Brown Ale, though - hopefully that one is good.

Poured in to my favorite pint glass
A - Beer pours a clear dark brownish color and produces an off white two finger thick head which produces a heavy lacing around the glass.
S - A sweet caramel malty profile is very evident. There are also some fruity and hoppy characteristics that are on board with this beer as well.
T - A nice nutty roasted malt flavor that is sweet and also bitter at the same time. This creates a nice well rounded profile to the beer.
M - Light body with light to moderate carbonation present. Perhaps a bit of a thin mouth feel.
D - Very drinkable session beer. I have not seen this beer distributed in bottles in quite some time. It would be nice for the beer to be available via distribution again soon. Overall good beer.

Ordered this at the brewery in Chico last night. Following review written from notes.
Served in a Sierra Nevada imperial pint glass.
Appearance: Body is dark, but shows great clarity when examined closely. Chestnut-amber in color with lots of carbonation rising from the etched area on the bottom of the glass. As for the head, it stood about an inch in height when it first came out. The consistency is foamy and the color khaki. Looks like a nicely-done cappuccino. Amazing retention and cobweb-like rings of lacing. Fantastic!
Smell: The head retention was so good that i had to eat some off the top just to get a whiff of this beer. Brown malt, spicy hops, cocoa, and nutty aromas is all I got; and as a whole the nose was pretty faint.
Taste: Lots of nuts, then woody and grassy hops, followed by more brown malt and nutty cocoa-ness. I get some toasted malt aspects and Chinook saltiness in the finish. Nice balance. Decent flavor.
Mouthfeel: Good carbonation; smooth and foamy. Good balance. Finishes clean and crisp with a decent aftertaste. Medium in body. Good.
Drinkability: Not my favorite brown ale (that would be Buzzsaw by Deschutes), but definitely solid. I could see myself buying this again, but not on a regular basis.

Draft at Pazzo's Pizza.
Poured a clear brown color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate toasted malt, nut and chocolate aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Solid balanced toasted bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.
Good complex brew.

Comes out of the tap a clear mahogany brown with a thick, fluffy, fine-bubbled cream-colored head. Aroma is malty and spicy with just a hint of caramel. Flavor is malty and has a strong overtone of cinnamon, as well as a hint of yeast and touches of caramel and hops. Texture is very smooth and substantial, just a little tingly and quite satisfying.

Arrived on tap in a shaker glass. Appears a clear rich chestnut color with a finger of tan foam. No lacing to mention. Smells and tastes of lightly roasted malts/grains, a hint of chocolate, caramel, a touch of nuttiness shows through the mild bitterness. This brown ale is medium in both body and carbonation. A nice representation of the style. Good enough that I ordered a second glass.

On tap at Sac Brew Company's Sierra Nevada night.
A - Poured a deep brown, with a 2-fingered, orange-white head, which dissipated moderately slow and left beautiful lacing. Excellent.
S - Burnt toffee, nuttiness, and light bread.
T - Burnt toffee, nuttiness, chocolate, and light bread.
M - Full-bodied, well-balanced, and smooth.
D - Definitely one of the top 3 brown ales I've had. A classic example. Very sessionable. Not enough credit is going to this category for a very complex beer.

S: Smoked malts and mild alcohol on nose.
T: Malty roasted taste with mild lingering bitterness from the hops.
M: A bit grainy and something comes across as tingly (carbonation?). Bitterness is hard to sense and overall is a well balanced beer.
C: A great beer and definitely another great beer by SN. Prost!

I really liked this beer -- it's been a while since I've gone the route of a brown ale and the sweetness that I found in it was again a nice contrast the a lot of the bitters I've been drinking lately.
Appearance: Beautiful dark brown with hints of red -- reminded me of fine mahogony furniture. No real head to speak of, a thin lacing stuck to the edges but not much to right home about. Color really struck me though.
Smell: A little sweet and malty - with a nutty bitterness somewhere in there.
Taste: This was great - sweet, but then followed by that nutty bitterness, almost rooty (for lack of a better word). Aftertaste was a bit carmelly.
Mouthfeel: Coated evenly - no real drying action. Beer was just a little chewy.
Drinkability: High. I really liked this beer -- could easily drink it in a session as the flavor was wonderful and it wasn't too heavy at all. It tasted like the ABV wasn't quite as high as it turned out to be, so I'd likely feel it after a couple, but totally worth it.

3.48/5 rDev -7.4%
A: Dark brown body and a good-sized tan head.
S: Not too much smell. Some caramel and some malts, separately though. The maltiness is relatively strong, just none of the flavors are too pronounced.
T: Great for the first few sips. Actually tried a sip of a friends who didn't like it and decided to get one for myself. After the first few sips it gets kind of boring and dull. Good dose of nuttiness, but prefer this in conjunction with some sweetness. Other taste is pretty woody.
M: Good for the style, not too heavy but still a good dark brown ale.
D: The body is fine, the flavor, however, would make this not the best brown ale I've had in terms of drinkability.

Poured a medium brown color having a white fluffy head that slowly dissipates into lacing. Nose is a faint malty aroma, that leads into a wonderfully balanced malt accented flavor. A chewy, rich mouthfeel that has a satisfying prickly hop twang at the end. Pretty good brown ale.

Modest brown, but decent all around. Tame aroma a bit of sweet malt and some mild bitterness. Nice rich amber/light brown color, good sizeable head that eventually dwindles down, solid lacing. Mouthfeel is fairly light and easy going, there is a bit of fizziness that comes and goes. Mild malt flavor some caramel and a drop of honey taste. Good hop balance slightly bitter minus the hop flavor. Good average brown here, it's enjoyable having a couple at a time.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a deep brown color, with a short foamy off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is of honey, maple, caramel, roasted malts and a touch of hops.
T: The taste is malty with sweet flavors of honey, caramel, maple and nuts. There's a mild hops presence that provides some balance. The after-taste is slightly sweet.
M: Crisp and smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
D: Tasty, goes down easy, not too filling, decent kick, good representation of style, it might not be the best brown ale out there but it's worth drinking for a while.

I was fortunate in being able to try a cask version of this and it was very tasty and enjoyable.
It's slightly amber brown with a pretty dense tan head that slowly diminishes and leaves a little lace.
It has a chocolatey caramel character with a dried, stewed fruitiness. It has no real coffee or burnt-bitter character but a light fruit hop bitterness to back up the sweetness. It's lihgt, but has a full, silky feel.

More than three weeks after hundreds of schoolgirls in northeast Nigeria were abducted by Islamist insurgents, their safety and whereabouts remain as unknown as their government's ability — and commitment, say critics — to find them or protect others from the jihadist terrorist group.
The unprecedented mass abduction in April by Boko Haram — its loose translation, "Western education is sinful" — was just the latest escalation in a bloody insurgency that has killed at least 4,000 and left tens of thousands displaced in Nigeria's impoverished, majority Muslim northeast region since 2009.
Experts say Boko Haram began in 2002 as a regional protest against massive corruption within the Christian-dominated central government, including an education system where bribes paved the way into and through the best schools grooming Nigeria's future civil service.
The group turned violent on the heels of an attempted crackdown of Boko Haram by Nigerian security forces five years ago, observers say. But despite the appalling rise in bloodshed, the conflict in Nigeria seemed to garner scant international attention until the April abduction of hundreds of schoolgirls from their beds at a government-run school.
The insurgents' leader, Abubakar Shekau, boasted he planned to sell or marry off his captives in a recent video.
In the short term, it's unclear what option holds out the most hope for recovering the girls. A former negotiator for Boko Haram, Shehu Sani, this week warned against trying a military rescue, saying the schoolgirls — who may have been split into smaller groups and moved across the border into Cameroon — could get hurt. He suggested the insurgents would trade the girls for some of their jailed comrades.
American and British experts have been sent to bolster anti-insurgency training for Nigeria's armed forces. But critics say what the military's rank-and-file most of all lacks is the will to take on the increasingly well-armed Boko Haram. The country's armed forces, once considered the best in the region, have "fallen apart," said James Hall, a former British military attache to Nigeria. Lack of funds for equipment and upkeep, along with frequent allegations that some senior officers have been siphoning off part of their troops' pay, are to blame, observers say.
Indeed, despite the largest economy in Africa — at 170 million, it's also Africa's most populous country — oil-rich Nigeria today is perhaps best known today for corruption. The U.S. State Department's 2013 country report said "massive widespread and pervasive corruption affected all levels of government and the security forces." In February, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan abruptly fired the country's central bank governor as he was looking into $20 billion US worth of oil revenues vanishing over an 18-month period.
The government's slow, halting response to the kidnapping has only added to public distrust. With the eyes of the world now on Nigeria, there's at least some hope that the abducted girls can be freed. But until there are meaningful improvements to Nigeria's core problem of corruption, tackling Boko Haram is another matter.

|Ex-Villanova star Porter died of multiple blunt-force injuries

|Monday, 28 May 2007 09:47
He died Saturday night at North Memorial Medical Center.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office said the injuries caused the 58-year-old's death, but no further information was released about the injuries or how they were inflicted.
St. Paul Police Sgt. Paul Schnell said Monday the investigation was still active, but no arrests had been made. When asked whether Porter may have been kidnapped, Schnell said kidnapping was ``a very, very viable consideration in this investigation.''
Porter worked as a probation officer for Ramsey County. Authorities were looking into whether the attack had anything to do with his work.

Fire and Rain in Texas!
Posted by Zachary W. Ford | Tags: Cheap , Routes & Rides , Texas
Eight hours into our trip we were there, huddled under the picnic table's awning, watching flames gobble up the raindrops as they fell to Earth. Our fire cast its glow upon our two campsites which, by this time, had turned from a nice place to rest for the weekend into a quagmire whose mud pit was ready to suck the shoes off any unsuspecting camper. Fortunately for us, we were all barefoot.
A Family Trip in Quebec
Posted by Steve Spindler | Tags: Bed & Breakfast , Family , Quebec , Routes & Rides
I felt proud to let my nine-year-old daughter Jessica bike ahead of us as she pedaled onto Rue McGill towards the Westin Hotel in downtown Montreal. My pride is also a complement to the City of Montreal, which was a great bicycle destination for our family vacation. Sandi planned our family trip to Quebec. It had to be suitable for Jessica to bike and for Kate, who is seven, to ride on a trailer bike. For five days we were in Montreal. After that, we biked along Le Petit Trail du Nord rail trail in the Laurentian Mountains.
First Attempt: Clinton State Park or Bust!
Posted by Greg Downing | Tags: Cheap , Kansas , Routes & Rides
"What was I thinking? I must be insane! Why did I think I could do this? You don't do these kind of things! Other people do this, you freaking idiot!" These were just a few of the choice thoughts running through my head on June 29, 2013, as I left familiar cycling territory while embarking on my first attempted overnight bike trip. The plan was to ride from my home in Overland Park, Kansas, to Clinton State Park, which is just west of Lawrence, Kansas. I had estimated that the trip, which would take me through the communities of DeSoto and Eudora, would require approximately 50 miles, each way, of output from my untried (over this distance, anyway) human power plant. How, at the age of 46, had I arrived at this point in my life?
A Grand Adventure on Michigan's U.P.
Posted by Dave Battista | Tags: Cheap , Family , Michigan , Routes & Rides
Grand Island sits just north of the small town of Munising, on the waters of Lake Superior in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (U.P.) Munising is home to the only ferry service to Grand Island. It is also located within a short drive to the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Grand Island is considered a National Recreation Area, part of the Hiawatha National Forest. Most people spend just the day on the island; with a little planning, however, I thought it would make for a great family bike overnight.
Thanksgiving on the San Francisco Riviera
Posted by Janet LaFleur | Tags: Bed & Breakfast , California , Routes & Rides
When my husband Dick and I bought our touring bikes last year, we didn't really have a plan. I suspected we'd set out for credit-card type tours, and we still may. But so far, our overnight bike trips don't fit any of the models listed above. I call them "bicycle getaways," two- to four-day trips, more urban than many touring trips. We utilize transit to increase our travel ranges, and overnight in luxury accommodations. Ideally, a hotel with fuzzy robes in the rooms and great restaurants nearby.

"The Rectangle Ride" is a 110-mile route that starts in Arlington, Washington, heads east to Darrington, north to Rockport, west to Sedro-Woolley, and then loops back south to Arlington. It was a perfect, autumnal weekend for a rectangular ride with spectacular company.

E.D. Isaacs was supposed to die.
In 1994, the career broadcaster and advertising exec was knocked off his feet by lymphoma and total kidney failure. He says two oncologists agreed he had maybe four months to live.
Isaacs began a treatment regimen, hoping it would extend his time a bit. He was thinking about his funeral and the lessons life had taught him when he began to look through his huge collection of what he calls "wisdoms."
They're quotes, poems, lyrics, aphorisms, philosophies, maxims, proverbs, witticisms and such that the Santa Rosan has collected for 50 years.
He decided his final act would be to compile them into a book and give it to family members, friends and the doctors and other medical workers who surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation were keeping him alive.
Then the cancer went into remission and Isaac's kidneys commenced working again. One grateful man, he choose to make his book of assembled wisdom — more than 1,500 observations in 57 categories — his gift to the world.
It's nicely done and you can find it at thewisdomsproject.com. He quotes Bob Hope on the topic of compassion: "If you haven't any kindness in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble."
A "wisdoms" on optimism by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow goes, "The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide."
In the "Happiness" section, Isaacs found no one to credit for, "If I had my life to live over, I'd live over a Chinese restaurant."
THE RURAL CEMETERY, the tree-shaded historical treasure on Santa Rosa's Franklin Avenue, requires a lot of attention.
The cemetery is the community prize it is because of the care it receives from volunteers on the Preservation Committee. This group also puts on a grand party.
Preparations are quickening for the Historical Ball that is coming July 20 to Mableton, AKA the McDonald Mansion. It's an opportunity to dress from the era of 1830 to 1930, take a dance lesson under the stars, tour the gardens, enjoy an elegant meal and watch a hat fashion show arranged by hostess Jennifer Webley's Portobello Hats.

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) -- Despite rumors of his return, Jerry Lewis has not been reinstated as the host of this year's Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon that he has headlined since 1966, according to his publicist Sunday.
Earlier this month the association announced that Lewis would not be returning to the annual telethon and that he was also ousted as the national MDA chairman.
Labor Day weekend telethon.
"Him being reinstated as the host of the MDA telethon is not accurate," said Candi Cazau, a publicist for Lewis.
Neither the Las Vegas Review-Journal nor the MDA have issued a statement on the rumors.
"Jerry Lewis is a world-class humanitarian and we're forever grateful to him for his more than half century of generous service to MDA," MDA Chairman of the Board of Directors, R. Rodney Howell, M.D., said in a statement earlier this month.
"We will not be replacing him as MDA national chairman, and he will not be appearing on the Telethon."
Last month, the 85-year-old comedian and actor announced he would be retiring after one final telethon.
"I'll be making my final appearance on the show this year by performing my signature song, 'You'll Never Walk Alone,'" Lewis said.
"I'll continue to serve MDA as its national chairman as I've done since the early 1950s. I'll never desert MDA and my kids."
But, it now appears things have changed.
Publicist: Despite Rumors, Jerry Lewis Still Out as MDA Host

Social Startups: SmashFuse Is the New, Simplest Social Search Engine
Posted on May 1st 2014
Wouldn't it be nice if you could find current and trending topics and information from 10 (and counting) popular social platforms all in one place? Well, you don't have to imagine any longer.
SmashFuse launched in the past 30 days, making it super easy to search for content ideas to share on social media profiles in a few steps. The app replicates Google Alerts' simplicity but also obtains information from the source as it unfolds in real time.
"Your typical news outlet often finds leads for stories from Facebook or Twitter, or other social sources," says Rod Austin, founder of the social search engine. "It may be unpolished or fully vetted, but a refresh allows you to see the topic mature in real time."
Just enter a search query you wish to find. Choose which social platforms you want results from, or select "all." Instantly, you'll see all the real-time posts in Facebook, Flickr, Google Plus, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr, Twitter, Vimeo, Vine, and YouTube, or the one platform you chose. Other handy uses of SmashFuse are for marketing research and general entertainment purposes.
"Traditional web search really only searches historical web data, and the supposed 'social search engines' that are out there now typically only search based on your personal profile or from a limited number of social platforms," says Austin, whose background in digital publishing, search engine optimization, and social media marketing fit quite nicely with the SmashFuse concept.
Austin says that one of the most effective uses of SmashFuse is real-time information on people, places, events, things, etc. But he envisions a more general audience using the site to find out what people are saying about the town they live in, or their favorite artist, or whether or not the new pizza joint down the street really is the bomb.
The search engine plans to offer brands and advertisers the opportunity to showcase their social updates in matching searches as well; so integrated marketing is one method. They are negotiating licensing agreements with a number of other sites that want to display a customized social feed on their page(s), too.
Future goals also include growing the audience while making sure that a wide variety of people use the site, not just social media marketers. Adding more social networks to improve the user experience and exploring new ways to make the platform more interactive and intuitive are a few of the upcoming improvements to meet these objectives.
"I think one of the challenges in getting the word out about SmashFuse is that people are really not sure what its purpose is upon first glance," Austin says. "So it's our challenge to make it more intuitive and easily understood, possibly through a site walkthrough or video tutorial. We have a lot of big ideas brewing for the platform, and we typically roll out new features on a weekly basis, so stay tuned."
I really like that you can seach for a topic with all the search engines but don't like that the tiles move while you are reading a post or looking at something interesting.

All I wanted to tell you (But never did say)
I was perfectly (or not) okay that day. I was going on about just as normal as any day could have been. I woke up like normal teenagers do. Got up and then got myself ready to go out.
I hate being inside the house. There was nothing for me there. For most days, I was alone and I was dying to get some action in my life. I was like a living dead person.
And so then, I went to the mall to kill time. I like being in the mall. There's a lot of stuff to check out but its amusement factor does not really last long. After a week, I've probably been everywhere inside this mall. Although, there's a place in the mall I never get tired of going to.
It's got a park just behind it. A lot of people stay there. Sitting on benches, laughing with friends, or just reading books.
It's seeing groups of friends there. I wonder how it would be like to have friends. I mean, I have friends but they're just not the kind I'd spend so much time outside of school and there isn't really a lot of kids my age around the block. They're either too old or to young to hang out with. Imagine a 16-year-old guy watching Phineas and Ferb with 9-year-old kids or smoking weed and drinking beer with 20-year-old people. I just couldn't find that set of humans I'll hang out with around our neighborhood.
So, there I just sit on a bench on that park almost everyday. Reading a book or doing absolutely nothing. Although today, was surprisingly different.
I observe every group there is. There are some kids playing around but this park is usually where teenagers like me flock together like birds. Although I'm the only one who goes solo or unfortunately forced by no one to go solo but goes solo still.
Then something caught my eye. There's a girl I've never seen here before. I kinda know the faces of everybody I've ever seen in this park. She wasn't in my brain's database. Although I didn't realize that I've been staring at her for a long time already. A good 15 seconds probably.
Oh, God! She's looking back at me. It's very embarrassing. She might have thought I'm a creep or something. Then I realized that she's cute. I tried to glance at her every now and then. I wanted to sit beside her and introduce myself but yeah, I'm not good with socialization.
All I wanted to do that moment was approach her and tell her how pretty she is. How I wanted to get to know her. How stellar she looked when the sun illuminates her being. Like she was being drowned by sunlight yet beauty shine through. This was just supposed to be a normal day for me. I was supposed to be bored, not be startled or whatever. I wanted to tell her that she kinda lit up a boring world. As if she brought life to this lifeless life. (If that even made sense) I wanted to tell her much but I never did say.
My tongue always gets in the way. As usual.
So I got up from the bench and I started to walk home. I simply suck at this.

Diet Coke of Hyperloops: A Mini-me Hyperloop for transporting small parcels?
With all the talk about the pitfalls, dangers and issues surrounding the ambitious Hyperloop project, perhaps a smaller scale less expensive version could be trialed to, ohh I don't know, transport small mail packages, regular mail, small goods etc?
That way, development and understanding with real world stats could be collected such as the issues maintaining a low atmosphere inside numatic tubes. Stress points. Weather and earthquakes and how they could affect the system.
Even if the tube system is developed in a very small area, say a few links between a few courier / postal stations in a metropolitan city, the trial will be useful enough to see at least some real world traffic and the scale would be extensive enough to derive engineering data. The system is also non-essential and would simply supplement a few partial logistical routes.
As far as cost, if these tunnels are, say, only a foot or so wide yet still adhere to the speeds and goals of the larger hyperloop I think that would keep the cost way way down. Is this just complete nonsense or is there some sense in what I'm saying? Cheers.
