** Snow Emergencies take effect from the time determined by the Director. Typically, this will be from 10:00 PM on the start date to 6:00 AM on the end date. Earlier start times and later end times may be set during unusually heavy storms **
No vehicles will be allowed to park on city streets during this time.
In the event of an impending snowstorm, the Public Works Director will call a Snow Emergency which will be in effect during the dates and times listed on one of the 'Notification Options' listed below. NO vehicles are allowed to park on City streets during a Snow Emergency. Any vehicle parked in violation of a Snow Emergency Declaration will be removed and impounded. Vehicles removed from the streets will be stored in Derryfield Park off Bridge Street. In order to recover an impounded vehicle, the owner will be required to present proof of ownership and to make a payment of $110.00 in cash only. This must be done within 24 hours of the time when the vehicle was towed. Vehicles not recovered within 24 hours, will be subject to additional towing and storage charges. The City Parking Authority has two locations available for parking during snow emergencies. The first location is the Victory Parking Garage located at Chestnut and Amherst Street. During snow emergencies, City residents that do not have off street parking can park for free in the garage from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. Please Note that there are a limited number of spaces available for snow emergency parking in the garage. The second location is the Pearl Street Parking Lot. This lot is open for Snow Emergency parking from 5:30 PM to 8:00 AM. A Snow Emergency is called to allow City crews to plow the full width of the streets, therefore allowing access for emergency vehicles as well as parking once the Snow Emergency has ended.
Many automobiles are needlessly towed off of City streets at a great cost to the owners because they are in violation of the City's Snow Emergency Parking Ban. We can automatically notify you, by way of email, or text message when there will be a snow emergency in place. Simply request automatic email notification of parking bans or follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/mht_snow_emerg in order to receive text messages on your cell phone.
The Public Works Department cannot guarantee notification on snow emergencies. Email must travel through many servers and there is a risk that the email will not be delivered, or will not be delivered in a timely fashion. Similar conditions apply for text messaging.

Airbus A380 lands in Sydney on first commercial flight
SYDNEY (Reuters) - The world's biggest jumbo jet landed safely in Sydney on Thursday, completing its long-delayed first commercial flight from Singapore.
The double-decker A380 emerged from low-lying cloud to fly over Sydney's famous harbor before touching down on time, a contrast to two years of delays which pushed its European manufacturer Airbus into a loss.
Watched by hundreds of airport staff and aviation enthusiasts lining fences outside the airport, passengers on the inaugural Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight disembarked without a hitch.
The wet Sydney afternoon did nothing to dampen passengers' enthusiasm.
"It was great being a part of history," Michael Sim, who said he had paid about 30 percent more for his ticket than he would have on other flights, told Reuters television.
Passengers paid between $560 and $100,380 for seats on the inaugural flight, after bidding for the tickets as part of a charity auction to drum up publicity.
"It was a very smooth rise, and much quieter than the 747," Rainer Silhavy told Reuters.
During the flight, first-class passengers reclined in suites modeled on luxury yacht interiors and slumbered in proper beds which the airline said can be converted into doubles.
French design house Givenchy designed the bedding, while passengers ate off fine bone chinaware and drank from crystal glasses bought in by the same designer.
"Of course it was the first flight, so you get most of the first class treatment, I hope they keep that up," said Sim.
The A380 can seat more than 800 passengers although Singapore Airlines, the first airline to take delivery of the plane, has configured the aircraft to seat 470 over two decks, hoping to attract more top-paying passengers.
The superjumbo replaces the Boeing 747 as the world's largest airliner in service.
Hundreds of airport staff and passengers armed with camera phones earlier watched the take-off from Singapore.
"I'm a big airplane freak and I love everything about planes," said Ernest Graaff, an A380 passenger as he waited to board the jet among beaming SIA flight attendants.
Graaff paid $40,000 for two business-class tickets on the jet. "I'm excited about being a part of history."
The aircraft will return to Singapore on Friday.
"Flying the aircraft itself is like flying any other big jet," said pilot Robert Ting, who was one of four pilots and a crew of 30 aboard the flight.
"This aircraft comes with the latest technology ... for example this is an aircraft where we come with an electronic flight plan whereby we will have electronic manuals on board, we no longer carry paper copies," he told local television.
Airbus handed the superjumbo to SIA earlier this month after wiring glitches caused two years of delays, pushed the planemaker into a loss and leading to the loss of 10,000 jobs.
SIA is to take delivery of another five A380s in 2008. The airline plans to introduce the A380 on long-haul flights to London, Tokyo and San Francisco from early 2008.

The Android L release is so new it doesn't even have a name yet, but HTC wants to make sure you know it will be ready when it comes out. Or at least, shortly thereafter. Before the Google I/O 2014 keynote had even finished, HTC released the following statement on its software update page:
Listen up, UK readers: if you're rocking an HTC One from 2013, and you got it from O2 or Three, check your notification bar for an update. According to this HTC support page, a fresh, steaming copy of Sense 6 is headed your way. The unlocked GSM model of the One M7 should also be getting the update. (Apparently the unlocked update is going out by country, since the US unlocked model was already updated.) Vodafone UK and EE users will have to wait.
Holy crap, that was fast. According to a flood of tips we just received, at least some owners of Google Play Edition devices are now seeing updates to over-the-air Android 4.4.3. The latest incremental update to KitKat was just published yesterday - some Nexus devices don't even have it. At the time of writing (Tuesday afternoon US) we've been told that the Google Play Editions of the HTC One M7 (2013 model) and the Galaxy S4 are receiving over-the-air updates.
HTC manages its Sense Android skin a bit differently than other OEMs do. It makes a big deal about the features each version includes, and actually updates old devices to the new UI, even if it takes a separate update to do it. The AT&T M7 got Android 4.4 a while back, but the updated Sense 6 is ready to go out today.
If you've got an HTC One on T-Mobile, whether it's the original from 2013 or the new One M8, you have a software update headed your way. Nether is packing a new version on Android, because they're both running KitKat, but new features are inside nonetheless. One M7 owners get a refreshed version of HTC's Sense interface, and One M8 owners now have access to the Extreme Power Saving mode.
HTC's software versioning is a little more complicated than it is with other Android OEMs. You might have Android 4.4.2, but be lacking many of the features found on a newer device because you have an older version of Sense. HTC can, and does, update these independently. Such is the case with last year's HTC One – some versions of the M7 are getting Sense 6 today to go with their KitKat ROMs.

TORONTO - Tom Anselmi is stepping down as chief operating officer of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment.
The company, which owns the Maple Leafs, Raptors, Toronto FC and Marlies, announced his resignation Friday in a news release.
Anselmi first joined the organization in December 1996 and was appointed COO in 2004.
His resignation is the latest in a series of major changes at MLSE since new president and CEO Tim Leiweke took over June 30.
The company parted ways with Raptors boss Bryan Colangelo earlier this summer and Toronto FC president and general manager Kevin Payne was fired this week.
Anselmi's last day with the company will be Sept. 13.

Fedora 17 Will Feature Multi-Touch Excitement
Published on 19 December 2011 02:36 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
2 Comments
The Fedora Engineering Steering Committee has approved the multi-touch feature for
Fedora 17
At today's FESCo meeting, the committee approved multi-touch support as a feature of Fedora 17 (
meeting minutes
). The feature specification on
the Fedora Wiki
details having the latest Linux kernel, evdev input driver, X Server, X Input 2.2, and Xlib to take advantage of the brand new Linux multi-touch capabilities.
However, this feature doesn't involve multi-touch-ifying any of the common Fedora desktop applications or making any other changes, but just about getting the underlying components out to Fedora users. "This is a plumbing layer feature only and will not directly be visible until applications or toolkits make use of the feature."
Approving this feature shouldn't really come as a surprise seeing as X Input 2.2 with multi-touch is part of
X.Org Server 1.12
, which will be released in March and be found in Fedora 17 anyhow. The multi-touch support and other X Input improvements are also largely the work of Peter Hutterer, a Red Hat developer.
This feature comes to Fedora after it's already been found in Ubuntu, but not as part of the mainline X.Org Server code-base -- instead as a hacked-together solution on a patched X.Org Server until Ubuntu 12.10 when X.Org Server 1.12/1.13 will be integrated.
Fedora 17 is
codenamed the Beefy Miracle
here's some of the features
of this next Red Hat sponsored Linux distribution that should be releasing in May.

Eh that's going to be difficult as I'm not to experienced with handguns. What yardage should I do? I'll have to go with my brother to a pistol range since it's in his name and is for the family.
Thats kind of weird getting a firearm for the "family". Its in ONE persons name, right? I know I wouldn't give my brother free access to one of my firearms.
It like my shotgun I bought is strictly for the home. The mother wanted it...the brother wanted it...etc.
They'll be using it to, but yeah it's in my brother's name. I can't buy pistols.
And now...it's broken...well still will work but the stupid me spun the chambers a bit just to check it out...and bam...something must have broke because now the chambers spin even in the locked position.....dammit.
Likely the bolt. The little tit that sticks up from the bottom of the frame and locks the cylinder in position for firing. They generally do not break but can stick. Check the bolt and see if it moves freely. If it does not, it probably just needs to be cleaned. PM for instuctions.
Yes that is what it is....that this isn't locking them at all anymore and it's moving....that's the first thing I noticed after this happened...the little knob right underneath the chambers right?
Yup, that's it.
Yeah it's stuck....just can't take this damn revolver apart...there is this one really pain in the butt screw...mind giving me that tutorial via PM?
Thanks to you robo cop and others who helped me....next time I'll know for sure what t do.
Hmm one extra problem though...It may have been there before but I shook the revolver slightly and I hear a rattling in it...not a bad one just faintly...I think it's that metal stick I saw when I took the face plate off...this normal? The stick fell out at one point too.
*edit NVM researched it....the rattle is normal...that stick I mentioned is what it is....just a feature of most revolvers.

My husband works with a lot of hot steel all year round, and his feet were deteriorating fast. I ran across your website one day looking for boots for him, and found the Thorlos socks. He loves them! His feet don't hurt and aren't blistering, cracking and peeling any longer. Along with the socks we bought the Badger Balm for foot repair and he uses it daily! His feet feel better, he's happier and much more comfortable. I can't thank you so enough and we recommend your site whenever we can!! Thanks!!"

We all ride bikes on the road on the look-out for the usual idiots but this video footage from a dashboard camera on a car in Russia manages to get a rather close view of something much more unusual. Riding on Russia's roads appears to me a huge safety challenge and the dash cameras are commonplace to try and prevent ...

I am thirty years old, working full-time and going to school part-time to complete my Bachelor's Degree in Social Work. I am the eldest of 6 children and love being a big sister and aunt to my two nieces. I have no children and am not married. Before my foray in social work, I was a reporter/news assistant for a television station for almost 10 years. I am currently working at an environmental NGO as a membership coordinator.
I hope to complete my BSOW by December and get a scholarship to do my Master's Degree in Social/Public Policy and Development next year. After which I hope to make a difference in my country in that arena. I helped with the formation and served as President of my university's Social Work Student Association and have really come to love the social work field.

"Simply Wonderful! Beguiling Theatrical Magic!" hails the New York Post for Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific. This breathtaking new production of South Pacific is based on the 2008 Tony Award® winning Lincoln Center Theater production, directed by Bartlett Sher.
Set on a tropical island during World War II, the musical tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of war and by their own prejudices. The beloved score's songs include "Some Enchanted Evening," "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair," "This Nearly Was Mine" and "There is Nothin' Like a Dame." USA Today cheers, "Four Stars! Gorgeous! South Pacific doesn't just float; it soars!"
Based on James Michener's Pulitzer Prize winning book T_ales of the South Pacific_, Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific has music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, a book by Oscar Hammerstein II and Joshua Logan.

It's a well-known fact that brands have only 3 seconds on average to persuade supermarket customers to buy their product. Consequently, there is a trend for all confectionery packaging materials to become increasingly sophisticated. Let's have a look at some of the most striking examples. Check out these confectionery packaging designs!

The world's smallest shoebox design for the world's most flexible shoe
A company that really strives to cut down on packaging costs not only has to rethink the packaging design, but the product design as well. A fine example of cost-saving eco packaging design is presented to us by Nike. Their new Nike Free model is so flexible the shoes can be folded together, needing only 1/3 of cardboard packaging compared to a traditional shoe box. Check this great shoe box design by Nike!
How popular culture inspires packaging designers
Popular culture has always been a vast source of inspiration for packaging designers. TV characters, series, cartoons, celebrities, … They all pop up regularly during our grocery shopping. We have selected some of the most creative packaging designs that use popular culture to their advantage. These are all illustrations of how merchandise can be done creatively. Discover the power of popular culture in packaging!
Creative packaging design: merely a question of talent?
You are either creative or analytical, that's the adage many people today still live by and act on. Recent findings, however, suggest this saying might be flawed. Scientific research has discovered that creativity, to a certain extent, can be learned and acquired through exercise. It's an interesting thought for packaging designers, striving to do better with every design they make. Can creative packaging design be learned? Read more!

~ curious Seemingly Pointless Things To Notice ~
I've been reading the manga again being on hoildays and I found a few seemingly pointless things that make you go hummmmm.
1. Izumi and Sig are in centeral when Winry arrives to fix Ed's arm after the 5th Lab episode. They're on the 1st page at Centeral station looking at a train timetable.
2. Their butcher shop sells.... mammoth O.o. Sereiously, when Al's sweeping outside and gets the "I know your secrets" note check the sign outside the store.
3. Unlike the anime the kids dont see the future when they look at true knowledge. Though both see themselves happy with their father when they were kids.
4. Envy only has between 10-20 people used in his stone. These are Barry's "renforcements" that Lan Fan sences. Then later he asks exactly how many people are in you? Lan Fan then kills him roughly 5 or more times. Envy should be more careful.
5. That girl from Xing calls her panda little mei. Meimei is Chinese means little sister.
Think that's it. Have any of your own?
*edit* no one has anything ah well. *added one*

X.Org EVoC Work On Gallium3D OpenCL
Published on 28 December 2011 08:12 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
Comment On This Article
The X.Org Foundation has been quietly paying a developer to better the OpenCL support within Gallium3D.
While not exactly a secret, the X.Org Foundation has been paying a student developer to work on Gallium3D-OpenCL as part of EVoC.
X.Org EVoC
is like Google's Summer of Code, except there's really no limits and much less structure. Unfortunately, the X.Org Foundation doesn't really advertise this program or publicize the efforts in other means whereby students can pull in several thousand dollars.
Going on for a number of weeks now as one of the very few EVoC projects has been hacking on accelerated OpenCL using Gallium3D. The student working on this is Francisco Jerez, who previously has contributed to the Nouveau driver project. He's been working on it going back to October, but there's been no official announcements or much beyond a Wiki page that he's now updating with more content.
Francisco's OpenCL-Gallium3D work complements what was originally started by Zack Rusin on
the Clover stare tracker
CL over
a few years ago
, then largely went stale, and
received some love this year
when Denis Steckelmacher began renewing the OpenCL Gallium3D efforts as part of Google Summer of Code 2011.
Denis made some great progress
, but it's still not quite ready for end-users.
Francisco Jerez is now continuing the OpenCL work for X.Org EVoC. In particular, he's focusing upon the Nouveau compute upbringing. There's also been some Nouveau OpenCL/GPGPU work that's ongoing by PathScale and their
PSCNV driver fork
of Nouveau. Meanwhile,
AMD's been paying others for OpenCL work
and Tom Stellard at AMD has also been investigating open-source OpenCL for Radeon hardware.
So far Francisco has been working on driver-specific Nouveau (NV50) driver changes for supporting compute grids of arbitrary machine code and extending the TGSI IR and Gallium API for handling GPGPU.
Coming up in the next month the open-source developer will be reshaping the Clover library into a proper Gallium3D state tracker, whereby the OpenCL library is fed TGSI bytecode instead of C code. He also hopes to achieve various other changes before his official EVoC period ends in February.
There's a preliminary compute API, a variety of unit tests for the said API, code to init the GPU compute sub-system, and various other work. Details in full on this winter project can be found
on this X.Org Wiki page
. The work isn't going directly into mainline Mesa Git but rather
this GitHub repository

Tax Error Hurts Yale's Gay Employees
Employees who utilize Yale University's domestic-partner health benefits will have to double up on their taxes this year because of a payroll error related to the federal government's resistance to recognizing same-sex couples.

Cisco — Since first scoring 100% on the HRC Corporate Equality Index in 2004, Cisco has risen to the top of many diversity lists and currently ranks fifth on the International Business Equality index. Cisco also compensates employees for taxes and costs they pay on health care benefits for their same-sex partners.

Best Companies of 2010: The Case For a Raise
It's no longer enough for many gay consumers that the businesses they work for (or buy from) have a perfect record in their support of gay employees and customers. Target Corp., for example, has a rating of 100 in the most recent Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index, an annual report evaluating how some of the nation's largest companies treat their LGBT employees. But when news broke this summer that the company had donated $150,000 to a political action committee that supported an antigay Minnesota gubernatorial candidate, Target faced Facebook-organized boycotts and protests nationwide.News of that Target donation is not only forcing gay activists, like those at HRC, to rethink how they evaluate a company's gay-friendliness, it's coming at the same time some other corporations are rethinking what it really means to be pro-gay. A growing number of these companies are coming to the same conclusion as gay people themselves: It's not enough just to make the grade. So these equality-minded corporations are coming up with new envelope-pushing strategies to support their gay employees and, in turn, make themselves more attractive to gay consumers.One of the emerging tactics is simple: equal pay for equal work. It's not exactly a revolutionary concept, yet it is not a reality, even today. Women's and minority rights advocacy groups have fought against income disparity for decades. But look past the biggest LGBT news headlines of the year and you'll find that equal pay is becoming a mantra for many gay workers and their employers. Progressive entities from Google to the Gates Foundation aren't waiting for Congress to remedy the antigay discrimination that may be costing you thousands of dollars a year.The problem stems from Internal Revenue Service regulations that have long exempted married heterosexual employees from paying federal tax on health care benefits for their spouses and dependents. But because the federal government doesn't recognize same-sex relationships, gay employees are taxed on what's called "fair market value" of any coverage extended to their partners or spouses. In other words, even if you work for a gay-friendly Fortune 500 company with a 100 rating on the HRC Corporate Equality Index, Uncle Sam is going to take a bigger bite out of your paycheck than your straight coworker's. And the hit is not insignificant. According to a 2007 report by the Williams Institute, a sexual orientation law and policy research center at the University of California, Los Angeles, gay workers who cover their partners' health benefits pay an average of $1,069 more in income and payroll taxes than employees with opposite-sex spouses. Even same-sex couples living in states such as Wisconsin and Maine, which have some form of legal recognition for committed gay relationships, are liable for additional state taxes. Generally, states with marriage equality exempt married gay couples from additional tax, though some, such as Vermont, have yet to update their tax codes to reflect state law.A bill to end the unfair federal tax for gay couples was passed by the House earlier this year but failed to make it into the health care reform measure passed by Congress in March (the bill is still being considered, although its fate is anything but clear). Outcry after Capitol Hill tossed aside the tax inequity issue failed to gain much traction among gay activists and watchdog groups in the face of other hot-button gay issues this year, namely the fight over repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy and the challenge to California's Proposition 8. "Tax issues are a topic that defies easy explanation and rationale," explains Bob Witeck, an LGBT marketing consultant and partner in Witeck-Combs Communications.

A crash between a car and a motorcycle on the Corinth and Kenduskeag town line sent two people to the hospital. Penobscot County Sheriff's Deputies say 29-year-old Christopher Feltner and 41-year-old Karen Jones, both of Orono, were on a motorcycle heading north on Route 15, just after noon. Feltner was driving. At the same time, 66-year-old Glenn Burleigh of Stetson was driving on the Hudson Hill Road.Deputies say it appears Burleigh pulled out in front of the motorcycle. We're told Feltner and Jones were taken to a hospital in Bangor with serious injuries. Now that nicer weather is here, Sargeant Scott Young says drivers need to keep an eye out for more motorcycles, mopeds and ATVs."It's one of those situations where they're hard to see and this is a result of what happens when you don't double check or you don't see."There's no word on Feltner's condition and Jones is still being evaluated. Deputies are trying to determine if any charges should be filed in the crash.

Their chores or just enjoy themselves."All activities are geared toward stimulating the brain, helping to hold on to past memories and create new ones.Scrapbooking is just one of the many activities."We can also do expressive therapies which identify those previous skills, interests and pleasures that they use to have, bring them out so they can recall living and participate in activities they use to but time has left behind."Even though the center has only been open for about two months, Kuffler says he is seeing great improvements."Most of them leave now looking forward to coming back and that's our definition of success. Someone who's had a good day and says I'm ready to come back."

City councilors in Bangor are going on record in opposition of two issues on the November ballot – a taxpayer bill of rights and an auto excise tax.The taxpayer's bill – or Tabor Two, as its known – was up for discussion at Monday night's City Council Meeting. Tabor was originally proposed and defeated in a statewide vote in 2006.It would set limits on local and state budgets.At Monday night's meeting, several people spoke out against Tabor Two. Their concerns included decreased funding for schools as well as city projects.In the end, the council voted overwhelmingly against Tabor Two.The city council also opposed the referendum that would lower excise taxes on new cars. The councilors decisions allows the city to now publicly speak out against both issues. Voters will have the final say on them, though, this fall.

A pedestrian was struck and killed on Route 41 in Mt. Vernon Monday night and police believe alcohol was a factor.Police say three counselors at Camp Laurel were walking back to the camp just before midnight, when two of them were hit by an SUV, driven by Jospeh Rouleau of Fayette.21-year-old Corrie Lazar from Washington State was pronounced dead at the scene. Another woman was treated and released at an Augusta hospital. The other counselor managed to dive into the woods as the vehicle approached.Rouleau was taken to a Lewiston hospital with non-life threatening injuries.Police are still investigating.
A man from Milo is out of jail after a standoff with police that lasted more than eight hours. But not before police say he fired off a high powered weapon and threatened to kill them. The trouble started after midnight when 37-year-old David Krueger allegedly shot off a weapon at his home on Riverside Street. He was reportedly acting suicidal at the time.Police from Milo and Brownville responded to the house and that's when they say Krueger – who's in a wheelchair – fired off a couple of more shots and threatened to kill them, too. Kruegers's girlfriend was in the house and managed to escape. Police called in the Piscataquis County Sheriff's Department and the state tactical team along with negotiators.They also evacuated some of the neighbors and told others to stay inside their homes. TV5 spoke to Maine State Police Sgt. Sean Hashey. "Obviously it's extremely serious based on the threats he made. He threatened to kill any body that came to the residence including police. And the fact that he had a high powered weapon at his disposal. So obviously we treat it very, very seriously. And its not only dangerous for police but neighbors so we take all precautions to be as safe as we can be.Jose Casillo, who lives in Milo, says, "The guy's a really nice guy and it's kinda sad to see things like this happen in such a small town. It really brings down the whole community."Negotiators were able to talk Krueger into coming out of the house about 9 o'clock Monday morning. He's charged with criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, as well as being a felon in possession of a firearm, among other charges. Krueger's bail was set at $500 cash, which he made this afternoon. He's due in court in September.

The University of Maine cooperative extension service hosted it's annual Agriculture Field Day on monday. The event is designed to showcase the research being done at Rogers Farm in Orono.That is the University of Maine's 100-acre research facility located on Bennoch Road.One of the highlights of the day for local farmers who attended was some equipment imported from Finland. It's been designed specifically for small scale vegetable producers to help cultivate their fields and gardens and local farmers also learned some other new techniques that may help them at their own farms. "Well basically we want people to know," says Ellen Mallory an agriculture specialist at the farm, "to be aware of what work is being done here and and to come away with new ideas of theirs they might want to try on their own farm or new directions they might take."UMaine agriculture researchers also presented their field research on vegetables and grains and a myriad of other subjects.
Approximately 3000 high school students drop out of school each year in Maine. The University of Maine is hosting a dropout awareness summit this week to try and combat this growing problem. "In Maine, we only have about 1 million people. if we're losing 3000 a year, where they don't have skills to take care of their own lives as well as contribute to their communities, that is an epidemic," says Shelley Reed, Project Mnager for the summit.America's Promise Alliance is putting on the two-day seminar that ends Tuesday. Three students who dropped out of school, but have since returned, were on hand to tell their stories and to provide some hope to students who are considering dropping out. "If you're having trouble in school, don't be scared to ask for help," advises Anthony Lary, "which I know a lot of kids are scared to ask for help, and that is the first step, because once you ask for help, the doors are open and you can pretty much do whatever you want." Lary dropped out of school after his freshman year but he returned, and in June, he picked up his diploma with his 4-month-old son in attendance.One thing he and others at the summit are trying to do is urge people to stop using the word, dropout. "We're just talking about what effect the word dropout has on people," says Courtney Connoly, a senior at Portland High School, "and we try to share our own stories, and try to find a new name other than drop out.""When you ask a person what a dropout is," adds Lary, "what comes out is usually like a negative thing like deadbeat or loser, and nobody likes to be called any of those names. so, it's like when you say dropout all that stuff is attached."Lary is considering applying to colleges soon and plans to study photography and film making. He has this message for his son, "I hope he's proud of me, and I hope to see him graduate some day. i really want too."
The wet weather some blueberry growers say has been good for their crops could also be helping to spread a devastating fungus.A new disease was found in some Maine blueberry fields earlier this month."I'm really concerned that this is going to be something that's not easy to control, and something that's really going to determine whether people get a crop off at all," says UMaine blueberry pathologist Seanna Annis. This is what has Annis worried – Valdensinia leaf spots."So far in Maine, we have it reported in five blueberry fields – commercial blueberry fields – and two other locations," she says. Geographically, they're in "various places Downeast, near the barrens and right along the coast."But she says the disease is likely even more widespread. The spots are typically round and brown, and can have a bulls-eye appearance. In wet conditions, the huge spores can quickly infect leaves in both prune and crop fields, spreading exponentially."It will cause all the leaves on these plants to fall off. The plant then spends its energy producing new leaves and it doesn't produce flower buds," she says. Crop fields will have fewer, smaller berries.In Nova Scotia, the disease has ruined 40 fields this year. While researchers aren't yet sure how it got here, Annis says infected wet leaves easily cling to humans or equipment."So that's the really big concern is to find out where it is now and make sure we don't further spread it."She urges all growers to inspect their fields and report any infection. Affected areas should be burned carefully. "The last time I was out, I didn't see anything out there," says grower James Alexander of Greenfield.He says he hasn't seen the fungus in his fields, but if he had to burn any infected crop, that's better than the alternative. "It'd be a big loss, but it'd be a bigger loss to lose the whole field," Greenfield says.To confirm or report the fungus, you can call the Blueberry Hotline at 1-800-897-0757.You can also find more information on the leaf spot from the University of Maine online.
Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island draw a lot of visitors.And that can cause parking problems and pollution.So in 1999 the Island Explorer bus was established. That first year 17-hundred people took advantage of the bus.Now it's free for all to ride and the ridership has reached a major milestone.It started on Monday morning.Al and Jacque Pulsipher and their granddaughters Sydney and Jordan Casey were leaving their RV at Black Woods Camping Area and grabbing the Island Explorer to go to Sand Beach in Acadia National Park.It just happened that they picked the bus with a member of Friends of Acadia on board."Well Jennifer was hiding in the back of the bus and after we told the driver where we wanted to go and asked for a little advice," said Jacque. " And then she got up and said well would you mind taking a little detour."The detour took them into Bar Harbor to the Village Green, where a group of well wishers were waiting for them to step off the bus, and they were greeted by the Friends of Acadia President Marla O'Bryne." And I'd like you to join me in thanking them for choosing to ride the Island Explorer bus service, being our three millionth passengers and your choices helped protect Acadia's resources and reduce air pollution in the area. So Thank You."The irony is that Jacque and Al rode the Island Explorer the first year it was in operation as well."We were up here on a boat both the summer of 99. Summer of 98 and Summer of 99, and we were happy in 99 to find the bus system existed," Al said. " Because at that point we had no car so outside of our bikes which we carried on the boat the bus was great go us all over the island at that point."Paul Murphy is the General Manager of Downeast Transportation and he didn't think it was ironic but, "It certainly was fortuitous it was just sheer luck and I think that's just great."O'Bryne said, " I was so pleased to see that they had ridden it the first year of operation and came back and brought their grandchildren and really set and example for their grandkids on how to visit a National Park and be light on the land."Len Bobinchock is the Deputy Superintendent of Acadia National Park and he is amazed at the growth of the Island Explorer " I mean this is fantastic, none of us had any idea that this system would be so succesful you know we all knew something like the Island Explorer was needed and people would use it but I think this far exceeds any of our expectations."And after a gift pack and gift card from LL Bean and a Gift Membership to Acadia National Park the lucky family was still surprised, according to the Pulsiphers."I think it was quite an opportunity and shock but it's something fun we don't get to be the three millionth of anything usually but that's nice."
The Commissioner of Maine's Department of Marine Resources says a meeting about how to resolve recurring turf battles on Matinicus Island was both civil and productive.George LaPointe and other state officials met with islanders on Saturday to discuss how best to manage the lobster fishery around the island after one lobsterman shot another last week. He told the Portland Press Herald that about 30 people attended the meeting, and came up with a number of ideas to protect the island community and avoid further violence.Another meeting will be held in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, lobsterman will be allowed to resume pulling their traps Monday as the four-day shutdown LaPointe imposed last week expired.
A mixed bag of weather didn't stop the crowds from travelling to Bucksport this weekend for the annual Bucksport Bay Festival.The event is in its 12th year.Bucksport Mayor Lisa Whitney is also the event coordinator.She says Friday's rain made things a little hectic, as organizers rushed to move activities indoors.But overall, big crowds turned out for the fun, from an antique car show to a 5k run…a pie contest to fireworks.Whitney says the visitors also helped give downtown merchants a much-needed boost.
The grounds of Fort Knox in Prospect were transformed into a Civil War battlefield this weekend.Members of the 20th Maine set up at the Fort for the weekend, for their annual encampment.They reenact scenes from the Civil War as a living history lesson for visitors.Paul Dudley is a sergeant with the 20th Maine…and President of Company B.He says the weekend is an exciting way to teach folks a little something while having fun at the same time.Another encampment is planned for August at Fort Knox.
A 21-year old man from Waterville is dead after a head-on collision in Readfield.According to police Gregory Tweedie was driving a Ford Focus on Route 17 when he attempted to pass another car Saturday afternoon.Police say he lost control of the car and collided with an oncoming truck.The driver of the truck, 51 year old Bonnie Norris was taken to the hospital, and has been released. Both drivers were wearing seatbelts police say.No charges are expected to be filed.
An autopsy performed Sunday on a 19-year-old man who was found dead along the shoreline in Bremen, Maine has not yet pinpointed why he died. Officials from the medical examiner's office told TV5 News that further tests are needed to determine Ian Sanborn's cause of death.The Maine Warden Service says Sanborn was digging clams with a friend on Friday when he said he wanted to rest before leaving the area. The friend left, but Sanborn never returned home. His body was found Saturday afternoon, a short distance from where he was clamming in an area in Broad Cove known as Bug-Tussle.His death remains under investigation.
Today marked the final day of harness racing at Bass Park for the spring and summer and surprisingly, the season was a success, despite some big obstacles. "It's gone really well," says Corey Smith, Director of Raceway Operations, "we've had a lot of rain this year but that aside it's been great racing the tracks been wonderful the races have been great, it's a nice day today to cap off our season for the summer and spring."Some of the fans on hand couldn't help feeling a little emotional. "Sad, I always feel sad on the last day of the year," said Dolly Sawyer of Bangor who is a regular fixture here at the reacetrack.It seems even a poor economy wasn't enough to slow down the wagering here. "The wagering is doing really well," remarks Smith, "our export signal has just gone through the roof, we're up over 50% over last year, as for export signal that's just fantastic."With record setting rainfall totals this season the racers were ecstatic about the track conditions according to Smith. "They rave about the tracks," he says, "we've had a lot of rain this year and the track has held up beautifully so what we did last year for work it's been great."As they bid farewell to another season of harness racing, the folks around Bass Park already have their sights set on next year."More barns," says Smith, "we're focusing on the back stretch right now and we're going to be looking at the race dates for next year coming up in october, so we'll be getting a new calendar out for next year coming right up." "We're looking forward to big crowds, nicer weather, and the success of harness racing in maine," says Jim Kelley, Vice President of Standard Board Breeders and Owners Association.Now that the season is over, what will some of these harness raicng fans do now to pass the time?"We'll probably go to hollywood slots!" jokes Sawyer.
A respected Maine retailer who built a retail clothing store into a 14-store chain in Maine has died after a long illness.Eighty-three-year-old Robert Reny senior passed away yesterday.Reny started his first store in 1949 in Damariscotta.Employees at the Ellsworth Reny's say they were saddened by the news of his death.Store Manager Nick Tripp says Reny had a huge impact on anyone who met him." You hear the term larger than life personality and he certainly fit that bill quite well. He was a very good man and had a great personality to go with it."Governor John Baldacci also released a statement, praising Reny for his long-standing efforts to promote Maine businesses in the Statehouse.
Senator Susan Collins and Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar were in Bar Harbor today.Getting a boat tour of Acadia National ParkIt was the first visit to Maine for Secretary SalazarAnd as Meghan Hayward tells us, it probably won't be his last." You know I had seen Acadia on a map. Senator Collins had actually talked to me about Acadia before. But I had never contemplated the immenseness of the place, the beauty and the fact that there is more than sixty islands that make up this place."On Saturday Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar got to see Acadia National Park firsthand.He and Senator Susan Collins got a boat tour of Acadia, which has just recently received more than 8 million dollars in project funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act signed by President Obama earlier this year.It's money Salazar says will benefit the area greatly." The stimulus money that is being spent here at Acadia is going to create jobs. It's going to create jobs now and it's also going to make the investments that will make sure Acadia continues to be the economic engine for this area that it has been in the past."Salazar says the impact from the money will be seen for years to come." The improvements that are being made at the environmental school in Schoodic and the other investment in the park will ensure we are creating jobs now as well as protecting the place for future job creation."Salazar says in such trying economic times he hopes the steps being made will boost everyone's morale." I think in these times of economic crisis when we're facing so many problems internationally. Here at home it's important for us to refuel the spirit of Americans."Saturday's trip to Maine was the first for Secretary Salazar.Senator Collins visited acadia last year.But says its beauty always surprises her." It's wonderful to see the progress of Schoodic on the education center which I am particularly interested in."Senator Collins says she was happy Secretary Salazar accepted her invite and hopes he will return.He says it's quite likely." It really is one awesome place for this country and Maine."

Here is the answer you are looking for. You can sign up for another screenname here at ivillage and that allows you to have another website account. Each screenname gets 15,000kb of space. So if you wanted a site for each type of pet and then one for your family, you could make 2 additional screennames and then go from there. When you are done, you just need to link them all together and then you have one huge site! If you need any help doing this, feel free to email me at email@example.com I will help you all I can!
Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you enter the contest again soon!
Take care...

I didn't know that you could enter the contest more than once. Is there a contest every month?
Thanks again,
