Tony & Marsha Hughes
Seacret Agents

Personal Development
Our Network Marketing Story
Hello! You probably guessed by the website that my name is Tony Hughes. My wife (Marsha) and I reside in a little community in southern Arizona by the name of Oro Valley. We are nestled up next to the Santa Maria Mountain range, at the base of Mount Lemon, which is home to Ski Valley Ski Resort, the southern most ski destination in the United States.
Marsha and I have five beautiful children! Our oldest is Todd. He is a manager of a Verizon Wireless indirect retail store and at the time of this written story is 28 years of age. Our second son is Trey Hughes. Trey is a gifted musician and a free spirit! He loves traveling around the world with his friends, para-sailing, hiking, camping, exploring, etc. Trey is almost 27 years old. Our third child is Halie. Halie is 23 years old and is an aspiring entrepreneur! She nanny's two children here in Tucson and is also building her Seacret Dead Sea Skin Care business along with her boyfriend, Ricardo, and her mom and dad. Our fourth child is Tate! Tate is about 6'6″ tall and a string bean! He loves hanging out with his friends, he's an independent spirit and enjoys his independence. Tate is likewise a budding musician, loves his brothers and sisters and is currently 19 years of age. Our little caboose is Savannah. Savannah is 18 years old and is our best student achieving over 4.0 in all of her high school years. She is driven, service minded, a social butterfly and is a devout follower of Christ.
To say we are blessed to be the parents of these five beautiful spirits is a massive understatement! They have and continue to bless their parents in immeasurable ways! We love each and every one of them individually and unconditionally and support all of their wholesome and worthy pursuits in life.
Marsha is trained in special education. She has taught at each level of education, elementary, junior high and high school for a period of 12 years. She loved her kids and her kids loved her! She was a great teacher because she was first a great mom!
I received a Bachelors of Science degree in Business Management with an emphasis on Marketing. I invested the first 14 years of my career in corporate America and have been a full time entrepreneur and business builder since 1999. My wife and I started building home based businesses in 1995 on a part-time basis. We worked hard, had more failures than successes our first few years but by the Grace of God and a tremendous amount of initiative and perseverance we were finally able to both walk away from our jobs to pursue a full-time career building our own business from home.
Marsha and I have been married now for almost 30 years and have enjoyed a remarkable three decades together! While not all of the times are rosy and wonderful, we've got to do things and spend time together in some pretty magical places around the world and continue building priceless memories together as a couple and as a family! We love spending time with each other, especially on family trips to fun and exotic places! We've enjoyed many of the places we've traveled to such as Puerto Rico, Playa Del Carmen, Tulum, Ek Balaam, Cancun, Monte Carlo, Geneva, Maui, Oahu, Kona, Kaua'i, northern Italy, Bahamas and many other beautiful and breath taking places!
We've enjoyed building memories with our children and enjoy taking them on cruises and trips that most children only get to dream about or see on Television or the internet. Whether it's zip lining through the forest of Acapulco, swimming with the sea turtles in Maui or biking down a volcano, providing experiences like these to our children has been a tremendous joy and blessing.
Well, now that you know a little more about us and our family, we'd like to invite you to learn more about what we do professionally! We recently started building a new business in the Dead Sea Skin Care arena! We've truly never been more excited about any project we've worked on in our entire lives!
We represent a company called Seacret Direct out of Phoenix Arizona. Seacret was founded by the Ben Shabat family, an Israeli family who immigrated to the United States about 15 years ago for a better life! The Ben Shabat family founded Seacret in 2005 and sold their Dead Sea skin care through retail kiosks in the malls. In fact, they built their skin business to a point where they had over 900 kiosks in 40 countries around the world and sold over 700 million dollars of their magical skin care products in retail malls. In 2011 they made a decision to begin transitioning the sales and marketing of their products direct to the consumer through direct sales or relationship marketing. Marsha and I are excited to be on the "ground floor", helping with this transition to direct sales and are excited the Ben Shabat family is giving people like us the opportunity to build a global skin care empire and create true time and financial freedom!
We invite you to learn more about this company, products and opportunity! If you are simply someone who wants more out of life, we need to talk! If you are driven to be more, do more and have more, we need to talk! If you feel like your current profession is not paying you what you are truly worth, we need to talk! We are only looking for the right kind of people for whom this is the right thing to be doing, right now! Please simply click on the CONTACT ME button on the right hand side of this page, fill out your information and submit! Either myself or my wife will be in contact with you shortly! We look forward to speaking with you!!

The shaman reads the earth messages; the earth is speaking and its time to listen. 2012 is almost upon us and the time is short; we must prepare for the vibrational alignment that is already taking place. In 2011 we have already seen huge natural challenges and changes, some that have shifted the magnetic north of our planet. The earth is calling us to lift our vibration and rebirth with her through these changes.
Are you vibrationally, mentally and emotional ready to ride this wave?
In this 3-day progressive practitioner training, we will cultivate our sexual energy as a creative evolutionary impulse that transforms and awakens higher consciousness. Our tantric shamanic practices will support us to walk between worlds of ordinary and non-ordinary reality; move beyond the identification with the mind and the emotional body, and expand into the self that is already awakened.
You will learn:
- To embody advanced sacred sexual alchemy practices that will cultivate heightened energy flow in your body and support you to open the tantric energy pathways and awaken higher consciousness so that you can begin to transmit to others.
- Be held in a tantric shamanic dance container to transform the emotional pain body that has been withholding the free flow of your creative, life force energy and open your ecstatic body.
- Learn cutting edge "Emotional and Sexual Body De-Armouring†techniques to dissolve physical and energetic blockages and allow energy to flow freely through the body.
- Participate in tantric sexual healing ceremony and ride your current evolutionary edge.
- Learn coaching skills to support you and your clients/partners to move beyond the confines of the false beliefs of the egoic self and tap into ones higher evolutionary creative potential in relationships, creativity, vocation and sexuality.
- This is the foundation course for becoming a Certified Awakening Within Relationship and Sexuality Coach, but also serves as an intensive for those who are only on a personal journey. Book now for early bird and bring a friend special prices.
Andrew Barnes and Leyolah Antara are internationally acclaimed teachers, authors, and evolutionaries based in Australia.

Delicious high vibrational foods will be served up for us to dine on. It is very important during this process that we eat in meals that support us in cleansing and healing. You will feel much lighter and clearer throughout this weekend.
A magical sanctuary in the wine country where vines and the flowing river blend harmoniously to create colorful imagery through-out the seasons. Once a Pomo Indian ceremonial ground, then a Bahai' School whose principle philosophy is global unity, it is now a sanctuary that provides an extraordinary environment for body, mind and spirit. While basking in the wisdom of the 500 year-old fir tree centerpiece, take in the sights of this 10 acres with lush landscape, a swan pond, waterfalls, an aviary of exotic birds, animals and endangered felines.
A sauna, sparkling pool and spa set within a secluded garden enhance your special time of rest and relaxation. The meditation temple will add an additional sense of the sacred during your visit. Our tribe will be staying in the lodge, just on the other side of the pool area. Our rooms are decorated beautifully in Ancient Egyptian motif.
Getting here is easy: Only 90 min north of San Francisco on Hwy 101, Isis Oasis Sanctuary is an ideal location for retreats. Take Hwy 101 to exit 510 for Geyserville Ave. Turn right onto Geyserville Ave. Destination will be on your right. 20889 Geyserville Ave.
I recently had the opportunity to witness Andrew Barnes give a demonstration of his sacred spot / energetic bodywork that he does. I was blown away by what was quite likely the best live demonstration that I've yet to witness (and I've seen many!) Andrew skillfully guided her through the movement and release of every imaginable emotion stored within her body. She went from pleasure to grief and tears, to anger and rage, to ecstatic orgasmic states; all before ever touching her physical body and working solely with her energetic body. The incredible presence and skill that Andrew Barnes showed led me to proclaim in that moment, That's it, he's my next teacher! I'm adding these skill sets to my toolbox. Absolute magic to watch. I am honored to have been able to bear witness.
-Destin Gerek (The Erotic Rockstar), LA, California
I speak with truth and compassion to others that are ready to take their big spiritual / mystical step. Leyolah is an authentic shaman priestess. She is driven by love to serve humanity to the new awakening. She is a blessing to those who are ready. Your life will be changed as you connect to your own archetypes, your complete self. Three days into our sessions I found myself remade. Her kundalini energy instruction, body work and shamanic guidance has brought me tremendous realizations and clear direction. Her ability to move energy and tap into exactly what is needed is profound. I have journeyed through the separation wound between men and come to peace with those relationships. I am now running the earth / Shakti energy in harmony with the masculine feminine energy. This has been a catalyst for wonderful spiritual and personal insights for me. Exploring past life significant events has reconnected me with my purpose & gifts that I can offer this earth and humanity at this time. I have integrated Leyolah's teaching & guidance to enhance my personal shamanic way though my voice and didge playing.

Marco Mattiacci has denied that Fernando Alonso has a performance-based get-out clause that would allow him to leave Ferrari at the end of the season.
Speaking to Sky Sports in an exclusive interview ahead of this week's home Grand Prix at Monza, the Ferrari Team Principal rubbished suggestions that Alonso could leave Scuderia if their results don't drastically improve.
"No, I'm not comment... it is not true. I don't like to comment on our contracts with drivers," he told Sky Sports.
"They are assets."
"The car is improving, it definitely has improved in the last two, three races.
"We are not closing the gap, compared to Mercedes," he admitted, "but it has given us the possibility to be a little bit more competitive."
Although Mercedes look set to dominate at the high-speed Monza circuit, Mattiacci is hopeful that Ferrari will give the tifosi something to cheer about during the weekend.
"It is clear that Mercedes keep showing a consistent performance, particularly in the overall package," he admitted to Autosport.
"We want to end the pain and frustration that our fans have been goi9ng through for the last few years.
We have been facing heavy races [before] with a concern about our lack of competitiveness, but at the same time, there is always an opportunity.
"Formula 1 racing is about drivers, human beings, and strategy, so let's try to be extremely disciplined and focused.
"We must keep doing what we've been doing: which is keep very calm, make the right decisions knowing that we are away from the top, and take any opportunities.
"That's the approach we have for Monza. It's going to be extremely difficult, that we are aware. Let's see what we can do on the other side."
The last time Ferrari won at Monza was in 2010 through Ferrnando Alonso.

Vintage Airstream Music Box (Christmas Decoration)

If you like to collect Christmas decorations, you may be interested in this vintage camper music box (http://goo.gl/rKLvOR) that features lights, Christmas music, and a moving train inside. It's a fun way to celebrate the Christmas spirit and RV travel all together.
In college I dated a girl whose mother collected ceramic "Christmas village" decorations. Perhaps you know the decorations I am talking about? Individual items cost somewhere between $10 and $100,000. They are usually hand painted ceramics.
On a white fabric blanket of pseudo snow, my girlfriend's mother created an old fashioned village winter scene. It consisted of ceramic buildings (with lights), vehicles, and an assortment of villagers engaging in various winter activities like caroling and shoveling snow. To top it all off, there was a plucky model train running through the village.
In the beginning, my girlfriend's mother's Christmas village was charming. She set up a few buildings, plugged in some lights, and called it a day. It occupied a side table in the corner of the living room. But over time, what began as a modest little hobby turned into an obsession…
Every year, at the mother's direction, the Christmas village grew more complex and elaborate. She added more buildings, and more people. Soon there were farm animals and work vehicles and roadways and trees. More, more, more!
This was not a planned community. It was a shrine to urban sprawl.
Eventually the once humble Christmas village resembled Los Angeles during rush hour. The Christmas village became a vast metropolis, expanding from one corner of the living room to engulf an entire wing of the family's house.
As the mother's attention turned to new development, the original downtown area was neglected – marred by graffiti, stray dogs, and drifting vagrants. Every afternoon, a dense blanket of smog drifted across the household. It no longer felt safe.
The last time I saw that family's Christmas village, the mother was promising to revitalize downtown. She was trying to raise money for a light rail system to connect the suburbs (located in the foyer and kitchen) to the old town area. She pledged to build a domed stadium and a park to bring people back.
Sadly, I don't know if the lady ever finished her domed stadium. After a dispute over zoning, I broke up with the girl.
And while I personally don't collect Christmas village items, I can appreciate the utility of owning this little Airstream music box. Not only do you get an impressive vintage RV camper, but inside the camper you get a complete village scene, including train.
BOOM! One item and you're done. That's my kind of Christmas decorating.

Gr8LakesCamper: Holiday Roads and Traveling with Fido
November 22, 2010 by Gr8LakesCamper · 6 Comments
Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go. No doubt, millions will trek to the abodes of family and friends as the holiday season approaches.
Just how many are traveling with Fido this holiday season? In a recent survey of more than 7,000 pet owners worldwide, www.PetRelocation.com discovered that 63 percent of pet owners say they travel at least 50 miles with their pets during the holidays.
From a safety perspective, unrestrained pets in autos are responsible for more than 30,000 accidents every year according to the ASPCA.
FIDO Friendly magazine shares a 'Holiday Road Warrior Survival Guide' as we take to the highways and byways for holiday gatherings with family and "fur-ends."
This Thanksgiving were visiting my brother and his family in New Jersey, but we're leaving our dog, Chewie, behind.
That said, we nearly always bring Chewie with us on our camping trips. And, as more and more of us RVers also travel with our pets, some of the following advice is of good use for us as well. Many of these are simple common sense, but as we all know — and one of my earlier posts about world's worst campers Elvis and Ozzie illustrated all too well — we have all camped next to people who either lack common sense or the initiative to use it.
Vaccination Records
Keep a copy of all vaccination records. Should an emergency arise once you are on the road, you will have the important information you need. You will also need these records should you ever need to board Fido for the day or overnight if you take in an excursion where your furry companion is not allowed.
Collar and Leash
Remember that taking Fido out of the car for potty breaks must include his collar being secured and him being leashed (don't forget the poop bags). A foreign territory brings unique smells that are oh so hard to resist, and your little darling can escape before you can say, "Sit, stay."
With the lives of you and Fido on the line, FIDO Friendly magazine urges us to consider a safety harness for our dogs when traveling. The back seat is the safest place for Fido to avoid air bag deployment in the event of an accident. Acclimate Fido to the harness by allowing him to wear the harness around the house for a few minutes at a time. Graduate to short car trips in the area. Work into longer trips and never scold Fido in the process. He's getting used to it just as you are. If he could thank you for saving his life, right now he is.
Things to look for in a good safety harness? Strong webbing such as nylon, strong stitching, allow the pet to sit and stand comfortably, and comfort combined with reliability if an accident occurs.
Fido won't want to get lost, so be sure that he has a current tag with an emergency phone number firmly attached to his collar or harness. Most people travel with a cell phone, making this the perfect number for your dog's tag.
First Aid Kit
There are a number of dog-specific first aid kits on the market, and if you have the time, you can even put together your own. Some essentials to include are:
• Tweezers to remove ticks
• Styptic powder to stop toenail bleeding
• Eye wash to flush wounds
• Gauze bandage
• Adhesive tape
• Scissors
• Antiseptic moist wipes
Food and Water
Be sure to bring along Fido's favorite food so as not to upset his stomach. There are great roadworthy foods and treats on the market. If you will be cooking for Fido, make the food ahead of time, and pack it along with your own goodies. Your dog is used to drinking water from your hometown, and when traveling it's a good idea to bring along as much of Fido's drinking water as you can, and rely on bottled water as back-up. Nothing puts the damper on holiday spirits or caming trip like an emergency visit to the vet.
Seat Covers and Blankets
We've all been there; a camping trip when it rained and our dog's paws got muddy. Or Fido ran into the lake with the kids, or chased a fish in the stream… you get the picture. Protect your seats with covers and blankets made especially for your type of automobile. Be proactive: Always carry additional towels and wipes to clean off your rambunctious Rover when visiting with family and friends.
Beds and Crate
Don't leave home without Fido's favorite blankie or bed. You don't want him sleeping on the guest bed — or do you? Bring sheets, too, so if your furry companion is accustomed to sleeping on the furniture, he won't leave any tell-tale signs. If Fido calls his crate his den, then bring it along for a good night sleep during your Thanksgiving trip.
Fun Stuff
Don't forget the toys! If Fido is a nervous Nelly when away from home, help ease his discomfort by bringing as many toys from home as you can. Familiar smells and chew toys will help calm even the most anxious pet. If Rocky is a Rachmaninoff aficionado, by all means pack his favorite CD for his and your listening pleasure. For the record, Chewie prefers Jimmy Buffett.
Double-Check Hotel Reservations
You are ready to go—but before you back the mini-van out of the driveway, call your hotel to confirm your reservation and that they are expecting Fido. Nothing says bummer like a newly implemented "no pets allowed" policy since you made your reservation.
From the personal blog: I continue to post many items that would make for great getaways during the holidays and winter months, including all that Southern Indiana has to offer, and a great opportunity for women to learn outdoors skills in Michigan's Upper Peninsula during a February DNR clinic.

Gr8LakesCamper: 10 Tips for Watching Wildlife at Night
November 6, 2010 by Gr8LakesCamper · 5 Comments
Gotta share this quick, amusing story. I was picking my daughter up from her friend's house the other night, and as we were walking out their front door my daughter shrieked loud enough to wake the neighbors, jumped 40 feet into the air (slight exaggeration) and sprinted to our car.
Gr8LakesCamper: Halloween Safety for your Pets
October 27, 2010 by Gr8LakesCamper · 2 Comments
Disclaimer: This doesn't have much to do with RVing, but consider the following a public service announcement. Plus, it gave me a chance to find this photo of this poor dog dressed up like a hula girl.
While Halloween can be a good time for kids and grown-ups alike, the Humane Society of the United States is reminding all of us pet owners that this haunting holiday may be too scary for our pets. Dogs and cats and other companion animals simply aren't used to all the ringing doorbells, costumed creatures and general hustle-and-bustle that come into our homes at this time of year.
"For your pet's comfort and safety, the best thing that you can do is to make sure that they have a stress-free holiday," said Adam Goldfarb of the Humane Society. "The noises, smells and people can be overwhelming for many pets on Halloween, so create a safe haven in one room of your home where he or she can quietly relax."
To help keep pets safe and happy this Halloween, the Humane Society recommends the following tips:
• Keep your pets safely indoors, away from trick-or-treaters and other Halloween activities.
• Make sure that all of your pets are wearing tags with current ID. Opening the door repeatedly for trick-or-treaters creates plenty of escape opportunities.
• Keep candy out of your pets' reach. Chocolate and other ingredients can be toxic to them. (Same goes for chocolate Easter bunnies in the spring; we found out the hard way.)
• Most pets are happiest wearing nothing but their birthday suit, but if you're one of those people who has their pets wear a costume, skip the masks and make sure costumes are comfortable and do not pose a risk for injury. (For the record, our dog never dresses up for Halloween.)
• Decorations can be dangerous, so be sure to keep them safely away from pets. Candle flames can set fire to a pet's fur (and trick-or-treaters' costumes, for that matter). Hanging or dangling decorations also can be an entanglement or choking hazard.
• Use fake cobwebs sparingly, if at all. Pets can choke on fake cobwebs set up indoors. Outdoors, fake webs are a hazard to birds and other wildlife.
• When going out trick-or-treating, leave your dog at home. Dogs can be easily excited by the Halloween commotion and a dog bite or lost dog will quickly end the evening's fun. (That said, I always take my dog with me when I take the kids trick-or-treating. But I use common sense: a solid grip on his leash and we avoid other people as much as possible.)
Also, don't forget about wildlife on Halloween, either. Nocturnal animals such as raccoons, possums (or is it opossums?) and foxes will be out looking for food. If you come across a wild animal while out trick-or-treating, keep your distance (and keep your pets away from wild animals, too). And though bats are classically associated with Halloween, those in colder climates will most likely be hibernating at this time of year.
Happy Halloween everyone!
From the personal blog: Tex called me out on my recent post recapping the Fall Detroit RV Show, saying I should have done a better job of finding innovations. He's right, but I also offer this theory in my defense…

Gr8LakesCamper: Casting Call for RV Show on HGTV
July 15, 2010 by Gr8LakesCamper · 3 Comments
I'm posting the following release as a "public service announcement" for all RVers who entertain dreams of being a Hollywood celebrity…
Nancy Glass Productions, a television production company in Philadelphia, is seeking couples and families to appear in an HGTV Special being shot at the Pennsylvania RV Show in Hershey, September 16th-18th 2010.
Those chosen will be followed around the show as they "shop" for RVs. Each family will be filmed over the course of a single day as they look at vehicles, try out new features, and talk to the camera about their experiences. The idea is to give viewers a consumer perspective on the RVs rather than just one of a salesperson
We are looking for three families of all shapes and sizes to feature. They need not have children. A fun and outgoing personality is the most important trait, however, having an interest in and a little knowledge of the RV world doesn't hurt either. Also, we are looking for one more "expert" family or couple who does really have experience in the RV world. An important side note, the folks we feature don't actually have to be in the market to buy, just act like they are.
Interested parties should email photos and a brief description of themselves and their family to email@example.com
You can check out HGTV's 2010 RV show from earlier this year by clicking here. Click here to go to the Facebook page that announced the casting call for the 2011 show. Click here to go to the Nancy Glass Productions website page for more information on the 2010 RV show. Sidenote: Unless I'm mistaken, one of the families on HGTV's 2010 RV show is none other than Mark and Dawn Polk of "RV Education 101″ fame.

Today, "Winnebago Man" has been seen by more than 20 million people worldwide, and is regarded as one of the first and funniest viral videos. Read more
Gr8LakesCamper: Hueston Woods State Park
June 4, 2010 by Gr8LakesCamper · 5 Comments
As I mentioned in an earlier post, the May/June issue of Midwest Living magazine featured its picks for the top state parks in the Midwest. Periodically I will highlight their selections, and this post puts the spotlight on Hueston Woods State Park in College Corner, Ohio.
Midwest Living had this to say about Hueston Woods State Park: "This action-packed resort park on Acton Lake offers canoe, pontoon and mountain bike rentals; horseback riding; an 18-hole golf course; archery — even paintball! The amenities turn what might be a quite ordinary lake-and-woods vacation into an adventure."
Hueston Woods State Park, located in Butler and Preble counties about an hour northwest of Cincinnati, is nearly 3,000 acres of natural resources for outdoor recreation such as hiking, fishing, canoeing — even fossil hunting. The park surrounds Acton Lake with campsites, cabins and a resort lodge.
Other park amenities include an 18-hole golf course, sailboat and pontoon rental, 10 miles of hiking trails, 12 miles of bike trails and 18 miles of bridle trails (you can even rent horses). Nature programs and special events offered spring through fall, and a pioneer museum and animal sanctuary also draw visitors.
The 625-acre Acton Lake has a sand beach, fishing pier, marina with fuel and supplies and boat/dock rental. The Resort Lodge has fine dining, lounge, and indoor/outdoor pools (extra fee for swimming). Vacation cottages have a kitchen, living/dining areas, TV, full bath, heat & A/C. Pets permitted on some sites. Cabins and yurts also are available for rental.
There are 255 family campsites with electrical outlets on the west side of the lake. Showers, flush toilets, laundry facilities and dump station are available. Picnic tables and fire rings are also provided. There are 236 non-electric sites also available. These sites have picnic tables, fire rings and vault-type bathrooms. A group area is also available to organized youth and adult groups.
I have not yet had the pleasure of staying at Hueston Woods State Park. Perhaps those who have wouldn't mind telling the rest of us about the park in the comments section?
The three most recent reviews posted at RV Park Reviews all seemed to have one common complaint about the park: excessive noise from rowdy campers. Also, several said their particular sites were not level.
"The first night we were kept up until after 3 a.m. because someone down on the end was playing loud music," said one reviewer who stayed at Hueston Woods in June 2009. "This seems to be a more party oriented campground and very little (aka nothing) was done to enforce quiet hours."
"This is an 'older' Ohio state park, it was well kept and clean," said another reviewer. "However, the pull through sites were waaaaay to close to each other and there were tons of rowdiness going on."
Another reviewer at www.stateparks.com had a much better impression of Hueston Woods. She said her "family loves to go camping every summer at Hueston Woods."
"We love it there. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We enjoy being outdoors with nature . We go fishing, hiking, collecting fossils. The campgrounds are peaceful, and clean. Thank you for making our summers so enjoyable."

March 18, 2010 by Lug_Nut · 19 Comments
The Lug_Nut Mystery Camper is again enjoying an RV park somewhere in North America. Your job is to name the park and location. In addition, see if you can name the make, model and year of the Mystery Campers RV. We have some photos of the park and of parts of his motor home.
The photos above were taken at the location the Mystery Camper is at? Below are photos that show parts of the Mystery Camper's rig. What is it?
Just to clarify, the 3 photos of parts of the Mystery Camper's RV are those that show only a small section of the coach, not the one shown on the lot in the park.
So, that's it. Now it's up to you to solve where he is and what kind of RV he is driving this week. Who will be the first to solve it and claim this month's bragging rights? Enter your guess in the comment section below. Good luck!

Six Steps to Bigger Quads
Admit it, your quadriceps are in need of a major fix. Use the oft-neglected front squat as the backbone of an eight-week program to blow up your legs.
Weeks 7–8
The Fine Print
The first six weeks of this program will likely have stimulated noticeable gains in quad size and your front squat strength will likely have skyrocketed. What to do now? Well, you certainly won't abandon the Smith-machine front squat, but you'll change where it's placed in your workout. Counterintuitively, you'll move it to the end of your routine, where strength and sheer will have likely abandoned you. But again, the luxury of the Smith machine is that it allows you to challenge yourself safely. Here, you'll use the front squat as a quad finisher, performing sets of 20 lighter-weight reps to flood your thighs with blood and nutrients ⎯ a veritable leg "pump" that will highlight every earned striation and widen every hard-working blood vessel your legs have to offer. This type of training will also recruit more muscle fibers ⎯ as your slow-twitch fibers begin to fatigue on such higher-rep sets, your fast-twitch fibers will come in to play, even though the resistance is significantly reduced. If you overshoot with the weight and can only complete, say, 15 reps, simply rack the weight, pause for 10–20 seconds and continue until you reach 20. You'll do this for a grand total of five widow-making sets before dragging yourself out of the gym.
Support Structure
While the focus of the Quad Rehab program may be on the Smith-machine front squat, it's still replete with the traditional leg builders that you've come to know and, uh, love.
The leg press, like the Smith front squat, allows you to move heavy loads without the fear of a bar crushing you like an empty beer can. It also eliminates the need to stabilize weight, allowing you to better target your quads. You can increase that benefit by keeping your feet placed more centrally on the platform ⎯ the higher you place your feet, the greater the involvement of your glutes and hamstrings, so keep your feet on the lower side of the foot plate.
The machine squat also allows you to train safely with a heavy weight. Stuffed into the middle of the workout, your focus should be on form and technique. Again, foot placement is important ⎯ be mindful of keeping your heels beneath you rather than out in front of you. For every few inches that your feet are out in front of you, you reduce the emphasis on your quads significantly.
You'll get away from machine moves with the dumbbell lunge after the machine squat. Simply grab a pair of dumbbells and a small patch of real estate, and alternate lunge steps in place, being careful not to extend your forward knee past the vertical plane that comes up from your toes. Take caution when selecting your weight ⎯ this normally innocent move can become more challenging when your legs are already fatigued.
The addition of leg extensions and lying leg curls provides some lighter, targeted, isolation work at the end of the routine to provide the finishing touches to your workout. The exception, of course, is in the final two weeks when you'll follow these two moves with your high-rep Smith front squat work.
Graduating Rehab
Getting bulked, striated quads involves a little bit of sacrifice, we all know that. It requires that you step out of the comforts of your current routine, gut through the burn, feel nauseous, eat, rest and then do it all over again next week. This front squat-focused routine is certain to reinvigorate your leg training and give you a set of quads that you can be proud of ⎯ even if you have to go through hell to get them. So it's time to check in: Quad Rehab starts today.
Quad Rehab Split
During Quad Rehab, you'll train legs at the start of the week, when you're freshest. Then, you'll take two full days off from the gym ⎯ no cardio allowed ⎯ to allow for maximum recovery. Trust us, you'll need it. More familiar training days follow before you start anew the next week. Once per week for a new set of quads? You'll take it; we're sure.
Chest, biceps, abs
Back, triceps
Shoulders, abs
Quad Rehab Routine
Use this progressive, eight-week program to build a Hall of Fame set of quads. Rest 1–3 minutes between all sets, except during negatives training in Weeks 3–4, when longer rest may be required.

VA Secretary Shinseki Subpoenaed in VA Scandal
By Harold Hutchison
Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki has been subpoenaed by the House Veterans Affairs Committee as a growing scandal involving the failure to provide medical care to veterans is hitting the Department of Veterans Affairs. Shinseki, a retired Army general, was appointed in 2009 to head the department.
According to media reports, at last 40 veterans died when the VA Medical Center in Phoenix left them waiting on a secret list. Since the initial reports, there have also been repots of evidence being destroyed, including one report of a waiting list being shredded.
There have been reports of care issues at the VA for over a year, including a backlog of cases. Other reports have centered around the heavy use of prescription painkillers, a Legionnaire's Disease outbreak in the Pittsburgh VA that killed five people, and other patient deaths in the Atlanta VA.
In a statement released before the subpoena was issued, House Veteran's Affairs Committee Chairman Jeff Miller (R-FL) said, "Right now, President Obama and Sec. Shinseki are faced with a stark choice: take immediate action to help us end the culture of complacency that is engulfing the Veterans Health Administration and compromising patient safety, or explain to the American people and America's veterans why we should tolerate the status quo."
The American Legion has called on Secretary Shinseki to resign. To date, Shinseki has refused to heed those calls.

Tom Cruise is trying as hard as the media is to figure out what went wrong in his marriage to Katie Holmes.
Although the 50-year-old movie star looked happy when he was finally reunited with his 6-year-old daughter Suri in New York City on July 17, things have been rough for Cruise since Holmes, 33, blindsided him with her divorce filing on June 28.
"[Tom] was thinking, 'What did I not see?'" a source who knows the ex-couple tells People of Cruise's reaction to the shocking turn of events. Adding to that anguish was the actor's month-long separation from Suri.
"He's wanted to see her as fast as possible since this started," another source tells the magazine, explaining that Cruise's commitment to filming the sci-fi thriller Oblivion in Iceland and California was the main obstacle keeping them apart. "He couldn't shut down production, cost people their jobs. People count on him."
Although it took awhile for Tom and Suri to reunite for the first time, a second visit probably won't be far off. Cruise and Holmes reached a divorce settlement on July in a lightning-quick 11 days, with Holmes reportedly getting primary custody of Suri, and Cruise retaining generous visitation rights.
That said, if Cruise, who resides primarily in Los Angeles, wants to see Suri regularly, he'll likely have to travel to the Big Apple to do so. Holmes and Suri have moved into a new N.Y.C. apartment following the divorce filing, and Katie has already enrolled Suri in a Manhattan Catholic school for the fall term.
Suri's enrollment in Catholic school suggests that Holmes is eager to distnace the ex-couple's daughter from Scientology -- but don't expect Tom to stop practicing the religion.
In fact, the actor has turned to his mother, his three sisters and his adopted children Connor, 17, and Isabella, 19 -- all of whom practice Scientology -- for support in his time of need. "Tom is not ashamed of his beliefs," a source tells People, "and won't hide them from his daughter."
It's clear from the smile on Cruise's face in the pictures snapped of him with Suri in N.Y.C. this week that he's just happy to be reunited with his daughter. Divorce is never easy for anyone, no matter how quickly it comes together, and it must be especially confusing for Suri. We're glad that Cruise and Holmes seem to have put their daughter first instead of making her the bargaining chip in what could have been a messy split. Whatever the cause of Holmes' divorce filing, it's clear that their daughter is more important to them than any drama.
"Tom tried his best to do what's right for Suri," his longtime friend and lawyer Bert Fields said of the quick settlement, adding that Cruise is not "bitter" -- just "sad."

Construction starts for new children's museum
Downtown construction in Idaho Falls is giving a whole new meaning to a Children's Art Museum.
The Idaho Falls Art Council started construction on its new ARTitorium. The new children's museum will feature art through new-age technology. The new ARTitorium Director Georgina Goodlander said the museum will incorporate 21st century learning, keeping up with this generation's knack for all things technical.
"Imagine a science center, but it's all based around art," she said.
The museum will feature green-screen technology, giant touchpads in the foyer, an automated music station, and so much more. But Goodlander said she wants the community to look beyond these "cool" gadgets into the underlying message of new-age education.
"It's not just about being an artist; creativity comes into everything," she said.
The ARTitorium will open the weekend of July 4th.

So here in the hallowed halls of the Fantasy Pros 911 headquarters, FP911 Towers, you'll find winding corridors of fantasy archives, chock full of interesting and enlightening tidbits. Tidbits dating back to the days when guys like QB's Steve Young, Brian Griese and Tommy Kramer, RB's Terrell Davis, Karim Abdul-Jabbar, and Terry Allen, and WR's Sterling Sharpe, Herman Moore and Carl Pickens inhabited fantasy rosters. Back when every draft was a live event in someone's basement. Back when weekly scores were tabulated using the sports section of the USA Today. Yes folks, there was a time when the internet was not the informational pipeline for all things fantasy football. A $3.99 magazine was your key source of data and your draft day strategy bible. Incidentally, I find it hilarious that these same obsolete magazines now cost upwards of $8.99, come out in May and are useless by the end of training camp, but I digress.
It was a time when ALL the major networks ignored fantasy football. Believe it or not, at one time every media outlet turned a blind eye to all things fantasy. Silly and childish they said! If you called a sports talk radio show and asked a "should I start†fantasy question, they ridiculed you and hung up. During the games, there were no scrolling individual player stat updates, no halftime fantasy updates, nothing.
Then a light went on.
Someone discovered how much cash was changing hands. Someone discovered how much interest was being generated on a daily basis. Think about it – even the most mundane matchup seems to have a high level of significance and draws an audience just because of fantasy football implications. How many of you tuned in last night just because you had WR Larry Fitzgerald in your starting lineup? Exactly.  Every game is relevant to someone. Times that by tens of thousands and you have instant RATINGS!
Why you are watching the game is of little concern to the network executives. The fact that fanatics will dole out hundreds of dollars to feed their fantasy fascination is.
Now a days, we are participants in a billion dollar industry. CBS, ESPN, NBC, even the NFL are on board. Rightfully so – while some argue it distorts the view of the sport and its players, it is hard to ignore the buzz created and the money generated. That in itself speaks volumes.
Behind it all, from pontificating pundits to Start 'em / Sit 'em columns – is history. It is the driving force, the crystal ball and the harbinger of common sense in the hobby we love.
God I feel old. Anyone want to trade for OJ McDuffie?
One of the most anticipated matchups of week five would have to be the New England Patriots led by QB Tom Brady hosting QB Peyton Manning's Denver Broncos.  The last two times Brady has faced the Broncos he has thrown for 535 yards and four touchdowns. Manning's experience against the Patriots has been as a member of the Colts, but the numbers are hard to ignore. In his last three games against New England dating back to 2008, Manning has averaged 325 passing yards and has thrown TEN touchdown passes.
Two players walking the fine line between keeping their starting gigs and riding the pine have to be Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel and New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez. History has been kind to one, while being the exact opposite to the other. The last time Cassel faced the Baltimore Ravens, he was horrendous. He completed nine passes for 70 yards, no touchdowns and was intercepted three times. Sanchez fared much better as the recently maligned QB heads into Week five to face the Houston Texans. In 2010, he completed 22 of 38 attempts for 315 yards and three touchdowns. A similar performance would most certainly keep the loyal Tebowians quiet. For a week at least.
Even before the Ravens showed any signs of an aerial attack, QB Joe Flacco certainly gave the  impression of one in recent games against the Chiefs. In 2009, Flacco completed 26 passes for 307 yards and tossed three touchdowns passes. When the two teams met in the 2010 playoffs, Flacco continued to torment the Chiefs with 265 passing yards and two more touchdown passes. This should be an interesting game for sure, taking into account the new approach to the passing game by the Ravens going against a desperate Kansas City Chiefs team at home.
Two players who will be looking for a change of fortune this week will be fill-in Tennessee Titans QB Matt Hasselbeck and Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger In 2008 Big Ben had a dismal outing against their cross –state rival, with only 131 passing yards, no touchdowns and one interception. I had to go back some way to find the last time Hasselbeck played against the Vikings, and that was in 2006 as a member of the Seattle Seahawks. In that game, a spry Hasselbeck threw for only 127 yards and a single touchdown. Interestingly enough, more than 80% of his production went to his teammate, WR Darrell Jackson who had seven receptions for 136 yards and a touchdown. Darrell Jackson!!!
Running Backs
The passing game could be an issue this weekend as the Carolina Panthers face the Seattle Seahawks, but two of the premier running backs boast noteworthy performances the last time they got together. Seattle RB Marshawn Lynch had quite an impact in 2010 with  21 carries for 83 yards and THREE touchdowns. Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart had a solid game himself that day with 21 carries for 92 yards and a touchdown.
Two other backs who history is shining on would be Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson who gained a combined 102 yards and scored two touchdowns the last time he faced the Titans, and Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew, who mirrored Peterson's 102 combined yards and scored a touchdown against the Chicago Bears back in 2008.
Wide Receivers
Allow me to continue marching in the Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson negativity parade. The last time Johnson faced the Jets was in 2010, and he managed to grab four passes for 32 yards and no touchdowns. Yippee. Granted Jets CB Darrelle Revis is out, but as I mentioned in the Week 5 Bust piece, CB Antonio Cromartie should be more than up to the task. Keeping with whole "Futility" theme,  the last time Carolina Panthers WR Steve Smith faced the Seattle Seahawks, it was a less than stellar effort. The two teams got together in 2010 and Smith managed only three receptions for 54 yards and no touchdowns.  I have a strange suspicion that history repeats itself this weekend.
Let's close out the receivers on a pleasant note. On Sunday night the New Orleans Saints and the San Diego Chargers do battle. The last time these two teams battled on the gridiron was back in 2008. On the disappointing side of things we have Saints WR Marques Colston. In a game where both quarterbacks combined for over 680 passing yards and five touchdowns, someone forgot to invite Coleston to teh party. Despite the aerial firepower, he managed only two receptions for 56 yards and no touchdowns. However, teammate WR Lance Moore made much Moore of an impact catching six passes for 90 yards and hauling in a touchdown.
Tight Ends
To close things out, I'll go out on a limb and say TE Antonio Gates will be looking for a repeat performance of the game he put up against the Saints in 2008. He had himself quite a game with six receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown. The Baltimore Ravens are emphatic about TE Ed Dickson still being involved in the passing game, despite the emergence of fellow TE Dennis Pitta. If that is the case, Dickson will have to be more of a force than he was the last time the Ravens played the Chiefs. In 2010, Dickson managed a robust two yards on one reception. Well that is pleasing    –            to NO ONE.
Well, back to my USA Today…

Hello again, Hookers, Swan Queens, and sundry Oncelers! After taking a week off to live blog the Golden Globes -- thanks for filling in, Sarah! -- I was eager to return to the world of Storybrooke for tonight's episode. Unfortunately, "In the Name of the Brother" ended up being an exercise in wheel-spinning that seemed to exist only to set up the show's next hour... which won't air until February 10, thanks to the Super Bowl and the heretofore unknown holiday known as January 27. Dangit, Kitsis and Horowitz! Quit playing games with our hearts!
We begin in medias res, right after the mysterious stranger -- played by Ethan Embry, of Can't Hardly Wait fame -- has careened into Storybrooke, taking down a certain pirate in his wake. Emma, who's quickly on the scene, calls for backup even though she's definitely the town's only cop; soon enough Hook, an amnesiac Belle, and the stranger are all taken to Storybrooke Grace Mercy West, where they'll be under the care of a drunken Dr. Victor Frankenstein. Uh oh.
Victor is the night's focal point; his flashbacks explain in greater detail why he came to Fairy Land in "The Doctor," as well as what happened after he became the proud owner of Rumpelstiltskin's telltale heart. The short version: Before stepping down Jefferson's metaphorical rabbit hole, Victor was a simple scientist in Black and White Steampunk Land with a disapproving father and a loving brother named Gerhardt.
After Daddy Dearest decides to stop funding his work, Frankenstein is about to give up his laboratory -- pronounced "lab-ORRR-atory," no doubt -- when he receives a colorful visitor: Rumpelstiltskin, who's heard that the good doctor knows how to restore life. If Victor can tell the imp how he does that voodoo that he does so well, Rump will give him a pretty penny in return. Then the Dark One conjures up a mountain of gold coins... and disappears before Victor has even had to prove himself. Hey, free money!
Naturally, things aren't going quite as well in Storybrooke. Belle has been well and truly cursed, and even Rumpelstiltskin's attempt to bestow Twue Wuv's Kiss on her isn't working. (Note to would-be hex-breakers: Please do not smooch a sleeping woman who's forgotten who she is, let alone who you are. Especially if you're 300 years older than her.) Hook has been de-clawed and chained to a hospital bed, but he's still incorrigibly flirting with Emma. And Storybrooke's very own Justice League is freaking out about Ethan Embry, whose character's name is actually Greg Mendell -- it's likely that he saw some serious magic before going unconscious. And if regular folk can just crash into Storybrooke all willy-nilly, the town's peculiarities just might start raising some eyebrows.
The Justice League can't stop outsiders from barging into their little magical oasis. They can, however, solve their Stranger Problem pretty easily by simply letting Greg succumb to his injuries. Grumpy's in favor of the idea; Snow and Charming are appalled at his callousness, and tell Frankenstein that he needs to save the interloper. They don't urge the physician to get sober first, indicating that they know about as much about medicine as they do about law enforcement.
NEXT: Give your hardt a break

When it comes to building muscle, it's about more than what you eat: It's about what you absorb. Get ready to absorb 250% more key amino acids (BCAAs + Arginine and Glutamine) and boost your nitrogen retention by 32%. In short, get ready to make more muscle.*
Protogen contains 4 ultra-premium protein sources and clinically-proven Aminogen®, a revolutionary patented enzyme system that helps your body break down and digest protein faster and much more efficiently.* Aminogen® helps maximize the amount of amino acids released from protein in foods and supplements, allowing you to absorb more muscle-building amino acids.*
What's the big deal about amino acids? They help you in 5 major ways:
- Increase lean body mass*
- Boost nitrogen levels*
- Reduce body fat*
- Improve deep muscle recovery*
- Delay muscle fatigue*
Increasing your size and strength requires an adequate supply of aminos. Since the human body doesn't produce branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), it's important to consume high-quality protein sources that are rich in BCAAs. Studies have shown Aminogen® will release 50% more amino acids from your protein when used at 50 mg per gram of protein, which is the exact dose in Protogen.* The benefits your body gets from Aminogen® are nothing short of amazing!
- Aminogen enhances glutamine availability, which aids in the transport of nitrogen and carbon within the muscle tissue to assist in post-workout recovery.*
- Aminogen liberates more BCAAs required for protein synthesis, which serve as a muscle fuel and help to delay fatigue.*
- Aminogen leads to increased arginine availability, which promotes greater fat loss.* Since arginine is a precursor of creatine, this greatly enhances the potential for creatine loading, leading to an increase in muscle size and strength.*
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, subjects that took Aminogen® with their whey protein shake retained 32% more nitrogen.* The same subjects also increased the key amino acids absorbed into their blood by 250%.*
Each serving of Protogen contains the clinical dosage of patented Aminogen® which is proven to:
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, subjects that took Aminogen® with their whey protein shake retained 32% more nitrogen than the control group.* The same subjects also experienced a 250% increase in key amino acid absorbtion.*
Why get excited about Protogen?
The Research and Development Team at Bodybuilding.com knows you put every effort into getting the results you want, so we put 18 months and countless dollars into creating the best protein powder possible with you in mind. Protogen is part of our Platinum Series, which is includes patented ingredients at clinical dosages. Protogen is simply the most scientifically-advanced protein supplement on the market.
The Perfect All-Day Protein Solution
Protogen's Synergistic 4-Stage Ultra-Premium Blend features fast-, medium- and slow-acting protein sources. Protogen is the perfect all-day protein solution for elite athletes because it is quickly absorbed with whey protein isolate and then released for up to 8 hours.* The ratio of fast and slow proteins ensures your muscles receive a stable flow of amino acids all day.*
Our Synergistic 4-Stage Ultra Premium Blend allows your body to quickly absorb amino acids and maintain peak blood concentration levels for up to 8 hours.*
Best Milk Shake Taste - Guaranteed
This is all great, but what does Protogen taste like? In a word - amazing! Our Research and Development Team partnered with one of the industry's leading flavor houses to develop a delicious flavor system. We took 4 months and 26 revisions to get our flavor target just right, and we actually exceeded our own expectations. The comment we heard most often during our blind taste test is that Protogen tastes like it was mixed with milk, when it was actually mixed with cold water. Imagine that! You won't be forcing down a horrible-tasting shake when you use mouth-watering Protogen.
When you make the smart decision to try Protogen, you won't regret it. We are so sure you'll be completely satisfied with this premium product that we're offering a 100% money-back guarantee. If you don't agree that Protogen is the best protein supplement you have ever used, simply send us back your bottle for a no-questions-asked refund.

Today I was accepted into grad school! It's been a long dream of mine to continue my education - I just never quite knew what I wanted to do or when I would want to do it. So after receiving my undergraduate degree, the grad school dream sat on the back burner as I started working my way up through various jobs until I happened upon my last one in web communications. It didn't take me very long to know that web communications - strategy, design, development, etc. - was the field I wanted to pursue a career in. So I started to think of what grad programs may apply.
Unfortunately, in the world of web comm, most people are completely self taught & I knew I didn't need a Master's to make a living at it. So I set my sights on just learning as much as I possibly could on my own. While at a conference in Portland in May 2013, I was introduced to the concept of User Experience (UX). I attended as many sessions on the UX track as I could, and by the time I headed home, I had found a new direction to set my sights on.
Almost immediately, I found an online Masters of Science program at Kent State in UX. I bookmarked it & kept going to back to it over the next year. I wasn't ready to commit to it. I wanted to make sure I really, really wanted to pursue UX in a formal setting. The longer I made myself wait, the more heartsick I became. I desperately wanted to enroll. I made a list of pros and cons, benefits and opportunities the degree would grant me, and I presented it to C. Once he saw I was serious, he didn't hesitate and got on board. So I applied for the spring semester, to begin January 2015.
Less than a month after submitting my application, I accepted a job in Austin & we moved to a new city. During the move, C started gently telling me maybe starting grad school a month after a new job wasn't the best idea. I fought him on it for days... all the way up to the official cut off day, which also happened to be the day we completely packed up our entire house into boxes. With only a few hours to spare I made the decision to move my start date back to the Summer. (A decision I'm so happy I made. I'm so happy to have a husband willing to challenge my decisions.)
Which brings me to today. The day I was officially accepted! I'll be starting May 18. Not a day too soon, or a day too late. I'm completely thrilled by the prospect.
When I told my dad the news, he texted this to me:
Somewhere Grandpa O is smiling. His kids went to college and their kids go to grad school.
I'd never looked at my educational pursuits as the result of my ancestor's hard work. But as the granddaughter of a Chicago steel worker and Texas electrician, I know that I wouldn't have these opportunities without their life's work, sacrifice and love.
I can't wait to make them proud.

Dogfunk didn't mess this up. Lobster and Bataleon (both TBT) changed their flex scales, 10 is softest. they figure if you lay the board flat and pull up on the nose/tail, the higher the flex, the higher the number. YEA FOR IT!

Kellie Pickler Engaged to Boyfriend Kyle Jacobs
By Daniel Gates | 9:11 am, June 23rd, 2010
Kellie Pickler is engaged to boyfriend Kyle Jacobs.
Jacobs, a songwriter, proposed to the "American Idol" alum and country star last week on a Florida beach.
He did so on June 15, a date Pickler describes as "sad and hard" because it's her late grandmother's birthday. Faye Pickler raised the songstress after her mother left and her father landed in jail.
The proposal was "the most amazing day of my life," Pickler tells People. "My whole world changed. We both feel like we got my grandmother's blessing."
The couple met through friends more than two years ago.
The country music star joins fellow "American Idol" southern sweetheart (and close friend) Carrie Underwood as a blissful bride-to-be.

Altamont will apply for $75,000 in grant funds provided through the state's Environmental Facilities Corporation's Green Innovation Grant Program.
Renée Crisafulli is an experienced nursery school teacher, brimming with enthusiasm, and the Voorheesville Community Preschool hopes she'll reverse declining enrollment as the program nears the half-century mark.
The roughly $2 million budget proposed for next year is down slightly from this year, with a $20,000 in savings on court salaries since the village court has been consolidated with the town's.
Village taxes won't increase next year due to changes in health-insurance premiums and employee turnover.
Village officials hope to get a piece of a $50 million federal grant to build a rail museum in Voorheesville at the head of a rail trail to Albany.
VOORHEESVILLE — The three unopposed village officials retained their seats in the election Tuesday thanks to a paltry 46 voters.
The village has 2,789 residents, according to the 2010 federal census.
"Obviously, it was a quiet night in Voorheesville," said Village Clerk-Treasurer Linda Pasquali.
VOORHEESVILLE — Village elections will go to incumbents later this month, as three open slots go uncontested.
Mayor Robert Conway, 60, is seeking his third four-year term as mayor, after previously serving as a village trustee for four years. He is currently the human-resources manager for the City of Rensselaer.
The PTA is trying something different by hosting a well known children's songwriter and singer to perform a fund-raising concert.
The Voorheesville Village Board has stayed under the state levy limit since it was enacted, and hopes to again, but has passed a law to exceed the cap — just in case.
The Altamont Rescue Squad is planning a half-million-dollar expansion of its building, which it considers to be cramped.

Oct. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Coffee futures rose the most since August on signs of increased demand, including from Brazil, the world's largest grower and exporter.
Inventories at European ports fell by 0.1 percent to 13.64 million bags as of Aug. 31, the European Coffee Federation said today. While farmers in Brazil may harvest a record crop in 2012, an exporter group said shipments in the past 12 months through September jumped 11 percent from a year earlier. The Brazilian Association of Coffee Industries forecasts domestic consumption may grow more than 4.7 percent.
"Even if Brazil comes out with a huge crop, as many expect, that would just be enough to meet export obligations and internal demand and replenish some of the dwindling inventories," Marcio Bernardo, an analyst at Newedge Group in New York said in a telephone interview.
Arabica coffee for December delivery rose 3.6 percent to settle at $2.3765 a pound at 2 p.m. on ICE Futures U.S. in New York, the biggest gain for a most-active contract since Aug. 17.
Global coffee consumption rose 2.3 percent to 135 million bags in 2010, with usage in exporting countries jumping 4.2 percent, the International Coffee Organization said on Oct. 11. Growth in importing countries was 1.5 percent, according to the ICO.
The commodity has gained 28 percent in the last year.

The Celtics are one of Michael Finley's options
According to Michal Finley's agent, Finley is "keeping his options open" for next season. "Boston," the agent said, "is definitely one of them." (Boston Globe)
I'm pretty sure that's agent speak for, "When he isn't playing with his grandchildren, Michael keeps his phone with him at all times, praying that a team calls him. One of the teams he prays might call is the Celtics."
6 Responses to "The Celtics are one of Michael Finley's options"
Time to retire Mike…nothing let as shown last season.

What's scary is his names been dropped as one of the guys on the Celtics list. Awful idea.
