Mr. Victor Danevich
Also present:
Mr. Tom Gaydos, Town Administrator, members of the press and general public.
Chairman Lynde opened the meeting at approximately .
(Bergeron/McDevitt) To approve the
(4 - 0 - 1) The motion carries. Mr. Danevich abstained.
Maple Drive Tree Status
Mr. Gaydos provided a summary of events regarding a tree at the end of a cul-de-sac on
Mr. Vincent Mazzaglia,
Mr. Michael Blythe,
Mr. Mazzaglia said that he had worked for the Town Highway Department in the past and noted the amount of trees that had been removed after storms and pointed out that the tree in question did not have that type of problem.
Mr. Jason Zakrewski,
Ms. Maryann Mitiav,
Mr. Bergeron asked the residents if there was anytime a limb had fallen. A woman in the public said that she had contacted the Town during the past year regarding a limb that had fallen and nearly hit her daughter. Ms. Mitiav said the fallen limb had remained on site for a long time before being removed.
Mr. Bob LaPoint said a limb had come out of the tree in 1997 during a substantial ice storm. He said small branches may fall, but nothing substantial.
Mr. Blythe said the only branches that had come off the tree were those hit by moving trucks.
Mr. Brian Peters noted that during the 1997 ice storm he had two trees that came down and nothing happened to the tree in question.
Ms. Dorina Roman said when small branches fell because of the wind, she collected them, and threw them into her yard.
Mr. Lynde said the Selectmen had previously decided to work with the residents to preserve tree and asked the Selectmen if the decision should stand. Mr. Bergeron asked the residents if they had given consideration to replacing the tree. Mr. Mazzaglia reiterated that there was nothing wrong with the tree per the opinion of a certified arborist. There was a consensus of the Selectmen to have their previous decision stand. Mr. Blythe asked who would do the pruning. Mr. Lynde asked that the residents get together and work with Mr. Gaydos. Mr. Danevich asked to reserve the right to revisit the issue after the tree was pruned.
Bobula Discussion Re: Planning Department
Mr. Lynde said that the Selectmen had received a report from Mr. John Bobula which the Planning Board had reviewed. He said the report was the basis for moving forward and asked how to proceed. It was noted that staff and full-time inspectors would need to be reviewed. Mr. McDevitt felt that the Selectmen should hold an additional meeting with the Planning Board since they didn't feel that Mr. Bobula's draft report accurately reflected their needs or suggestions. Mr. Lynde reviewed the points of Mr. Bobula's report that the Planning Board had agreed with. He then reviewed the main differences the Planning Board had with the report. There was a brief discussion in which Mr. Lynde said he would contact the Planning Board Chair to set up a meeting, possibly for
Road Naming at Municipal Complex
Mr. Lynde said if the Municipal Complex road/driveway were not named, the Municipal Complex would have an address on
* Additional Appointments listed below.
Mr. Gaydos reported that during the last week a walk-through of the Municipal side had occurred and a punch list had been drafted, which Breadloaf was addressing. He said that the mechanical systems had also been reviewed and reminded the Selectmen that regular maintenance should be considered during the budget process, or warrantees may be voided.
Mr. Gaydos said that the following items (approved by the Warrant Article for the Police) had been delivered, installed and inspected, and now required the Selectmen's signatures on the manifest -
1) Motorola - part of radio system infrastructure $45,310; 2) Cyber COM - part of the infrastructure that works with the Motorola radio system (towers and electronics) $54,875; 3) two invoices from Rightline - computer rack systems $25,200 and $2,904.02. The manifest was circulated for the Selectmen's signature. Mr. Lynde confirmed that the Selectmen were previously informed of the items. Mr. Gaydos answered yes.
He went on to review the type of maintenance that may be needed for the generator and the furnace.
Mr. McDevitt informed that the trees at the Municipal Complex were in the process of being planted. He said that donations had been received for over half the trees and wanted people to know that there were still opportunities.
Mr. McDevitt said that the Sherburne Hall Committee had met and requested permission to remove a frame from one of the cafeteria tables. He said they would like to assess what was behind the tables. The Selectmen did not have a problem with the Committee removing one of the tables.
Mr. Danevich informed that the RFP's for the data and wiring had been received back. He said the RFP's would be reviewed within the next week and brought to the Selectmen with a recommendation. He said that the last piece of equipment needed to make all the systems work was being reviewed. Mr. Gaydos asked if there was a budget number needed to acquire the piece. Mr. Danevich said he didn't have a number, but was reviewing equipment that would cost approximately $1200. The Selectmen were in favor of authorizing Mr. Danevich with a budget of $1200 for equipment needed to make the Municipal Complex system work. Mr. Danevich was directed to work with Mr. Gaydos.
Mr. Lynde suggested that the Sherburne Hall Committee create a vision of what the hall should look like and then move forward with discussions of what changes would need to occur.
Board of Adjustment Appointment
Mr. Lynde said that the Selectmen had discussed the applicants for the Board of Adjustment, who had been interviewed at the last public meeting, and were ready to make an appointment.
(McDevitt/Derby) To appoint Mr. Jeff Gowan as a full-time member of the Board of Adjustment, with a three-year term, effective as of
(5 - 0 - 0) The motion carries.
It was noted that because of RSA constraints, Mr. Jean-Marc Lapierre would not be able to be appointed to the Board of Adjustment because he was not a
Torrisi use of Castle Hill Property
Mr. Gaydos provided a brief history of the agreement between the Town and Mr. Torrisi. He said that subsequent to the agreement, Mr. Torrisi had approached the Planning Board and requested a subdivision using a thirty foot right-of-way for access. He said that the Selectmen had been notified, and in turn asked Mr. Torrisi to meet with them and show a survey of the area that had been improved (to show compliance of the agreement to not encroach on more than 30ft.). He said that the Town's Engineer, TF Moran had been contacted to review the site and provide a survey. Mr. Gaydos said that Mr. Torrisi's attorney had requested to clarify the matter with the Selectmen.
Attorney James Troissi, representing the petitioner Mr. Al Torrisi met with the Selectmen to discuss the right-of-way. He said it was their position that Mr. Torrisi had the right to use the right-of-way as a Town road if he was willing to improve it to Town specifications in order to access his ten (10) acres of backland. Attorney Troissi informed that Mr. Torrisi owned ML5-89 (consisting of approximately ten acres). He said Mr. Torrisi's predecessor in title was Mr. Houle, who received a right-of-way (in 1937) from the backland to
Attorney Troissi reviewed the plans being presented and explained what they depicted. He then reviewed a booklet of exhibits that he in turn submitted to the Selectmen. He said based upon the information researched, there was no question that the Town took title to the parcel as a right-of-way to serve the land in the rear now owned by Mr. Torrisi. He explained in the late 1990's when Mr. Torrisi was purchasing the property (from Mr. Houle) he desired to place his home on the back land, which required a variance because the back land didn't have frontage onto a Town road. He noted at the time, Town Counsel submitted a letter dated March 28, 1998 (Exhibit 10) to the former Town Administrator Mr. Peter Flynn, which stated, in part, that the back lot owner had an implied easement to use the paper street to get his land and the right to develop the paper street, at his expense, as a public highway, if he wishes to do so. Attorney Troissi then cited a letter sent by Town Counsel to Mr. Flynn advising of a letter sent to the former Planning Director which advised the parcel owner to either apply to the Board of Adjustment for a zoning variance, or construct a road meeting Town requirements with a cul-de-sac giving 200ft. of frontage. He reviewed RSA 674:41, which reviews options for owners of back parcels of land. He went on to review sections from minutes of past meetings that he included in the exhibits submitted to the Selectmen that referenced the right-of-way.
Attorney Troissi then reviewed the issue of the right-of-way width and reviewed the last paragraph of the agreement with the Town which states that the right-of-way will be cleared and maintained (at the expense of themselves or others similarly located on the right-of-way), to a width of not more than 30ft. and to repair and maintain the travel portion of the right-of-way in a good passable condition. He believed the 30ft. road width was substantially complied with. He said in order to have a good passable roadway Mr. Torrisi had to transgress whatever inches beyond the 30ft., which he felt was moot since the plan had to go before the Planning Board for review. Attorney Troissi said he met with the Town Administrator, Planning Director and Highway Road Agent who all agreed that because of the slope, ledge, drainage and the Town's mandate to have a passable roadway, that Mr. Torrisi did a good job constructing a good passable roadway. He said that the engineer has assured him that the drainage post-development would be better that pre-development based upon mitigation actions. He noted that the gravel area was only 12ft. and the improvements on either side were designed to help the situation. Attorney Troissi read aloud a letter dated
Mr. Lynde agreed that there was a 50ft. right-of-way with an agreement for Mr. Torrisi to clear up to 30ft. for access to his property, maintaining a buffer between the driveway and the neighboring property. He believed the understanding at the time was that a single-family dwelling would be constructed and the 30ft. easement would provide access. He asked that the drainage be addressed and wanted to know what the reference point would be for correction since the property probably didn't have a drainage problem before the driveway was constructed. Attorney Troissi said the drainage would be improved from the pre-construction and post-construction of the proposed subdivision. Mr. Matt Hamor, Meisner Brem Corporation (engineer) said he didn't know what the drainage was before the road was constructed, but believed there may have been minimal runoff, and it would be reviewed.
Mr. Lynde addressed the buffer and said that there had been complaints regarding encroachment up to 40ft. and beyond the bounds of the right-of-way. He was in agreement that there was a 50ft. right-of-way that provided access to the back parcel of land. He asked Attorney Troissi if he believed there was a need to obtain the Town's permission to lay out the road to the back parcel. Attorney Troissi said the Town's permission was not needed, as long as the road was brought up to Town standards. He then addressed the buffer and said that when the plan was reviewed by the Planning Board they would have the right to establish any buffers.
Mr. McDevitt asked if the Board of Adjustment variance was granted with any conditions. Attorney Troissi believed that the only condition was the road would have to be maintained by Mr. Houle (who was the owner at the time). Mr. McDevitt said that the agreement was in place for a 30ft. easement and noted that the Town's engineer reviewed the site and reported that the disturbance from construction went considerably beyond the allowed 30ft., not just inches beyond. Mr. Hamor said that the Planning Director was who provided information that work had gone 12" - 18" over the 30ft. and that Meisner Brem Corporation had not provided information referencing 12" - 18". Mr. McDevitt said the point was an agreement had been entered into for clearing up to 30ft. and that clearing had occurred substantially beyond the agreed upon 30ft. Attorney Troissi said to their knowledge clearing had occurred up to 40ft. based upon the topography. He reiterated that the Planning Director informed that Mr. Torrisi substantially complied. He said the agreement was for a 30ft. easement to access a single-family home. He said Mr. Torrisi had not given up the right to come back and request usage of the 50ft. right-of-way (which went with the home). Mr. McDevitt believed that the agreement had been recorded at the Registry of Deeds on June 30th, book 5961 page 0950. Attorney Troissi reviewed his documents and confirmed that the agreement was recorded
Mr. Derby noted that abutters had complained about the increased drainage onto their property and wanted to know what the drainage plans would be for the future. Mr. Hamor said a substantial detention facility would be constructed to cleanse the flow, which would then enter catch basins through culverts and would then re-enter the natural drainage patterns beneath
Mr. Danevich verified that the plan had not officially been submitted to the Town. He said during the conceptual review by the Planning Board there was great debate regarding the elevation profile coming off the hill. He suggested that further comment be reserved until it was known if the plan could meet Town specifications (i.e. grade, slope, embankment). He provided a comparison of Mr. Torrisi's property to the
Mr. Lynde believed that the Selectmen wanted a remedy to the violation of the agreement. Mr. McDevitt believed that the agreement for 30ft. was a substantial barrier to bring before the Planning Board. He suggested consulting with Town Counsel and then providing the Planning Board with a letter of response. Attorney Troissi said that the current proposal was the development of the back parcel, which was a different issue than the 30ft. easement. After a brief discussion it was the consensus of the Selectmen to seek Town Counsel's opinion before providing Attorney Troissi an opinion. Mr. Lynde believed that Town Counsel's opinion could be obtained within two weeks.
Ms. Sandra Crawford,
Attorney Troissi said that a letter would be sent to all the abutters to meet and address all the concerns. He said that Mr. Torrisi informed that Mr. Crawford had been advised of the improvements in front of a professional tree cutter. He said that an attempt would be made in good faith to address the concerns of the abutters. He ended by saying that the right-of-way had been in place for many years and believed that homeowners should be aware of the possibility of future development. Mr. Lynde said that a buffer had not been maintained as was discussed at the time the agreement was made.
Mr. Danevich had no report.
Mr. Bergeron said the next meeting of the Water Charter Committee would be held
Mr. Derby informed that as he previously requested, the Police mailbox had been moved. He said the CIP met with Mr. Jerry Boucher who was seeking funds ($1,000,000) for land for the co-operative school. He said with the interest rates so low, it may be better to bond. He noted that land was being reviewed and pointed out that for parking alone, eleven acres would be needed.
Mr. McDevitt said that an anonymous person offered their time share at Pollard Brook Resort (for November 16 - 23) as a donation for the winner of a drawing which. The drawing would consist of those who donated to the Sherburne Hall Fund. He asked that the Selectmen discuss at the next scheduled meeting. Mr. McDevitt said that the Household Hazardous Waste Collection (held May 3rd) had twenty-five Town residents that took advantage of the collection. He said the next collection would be held
Mr. Lynde informed that the Planning Board met
Mr. Derby noted that the application had been received and recommended by Highway Agent Don Foss to hire Mr. Tim Borders as a full-time Operator One. Mr. Lynde noted that Mr. Borders had been interviewed by Mr. Foss, and Mr. Gaydos agreed that there were no problems.
(Derby/Bergeron) To hire Mr. Tim Borders as a full-time Operator One for the Highway Department.
(5 - 0 - 0) The motion carries.
Mr. Gaydos provided a brief history of the road and explained that it was not yet Town owned due to certain outstanding issues. He said the residents have had the opportunity to discuss their issues. He said that the as-built plans had been reviewed and would now need to be compared to what was built.
Mr. Peter Zohdi, Herbert Associates, said that his firm had done the original design for
Mr. David Jordan, TF Moran (Town Engineer) said that as-built surveys had been done on certain drainage areas. He said at first review, the plan compiled by Herbert Associates appeared to be substantially similar to the TF Moran plan. He wanted to opportunity to compare the two plans and review at the site where problems were occurring. He said the original design would be reviewed closely and noted that TF Moran would continue working with the Town and Mr. Zohdi to come up with solutions.
Mr. Tim Fraize,
Mr. Scott Orlando,
Mr. Lynde said the approach to reviewing the plan sounded good. Mr. Zohdi asked permission from Mr. Fraize to walk his property with Mr. Jordan and Mr. Gaydos. Mr. Fraize said he previously granted permission to access his property. He asked that he be notified, so he could be present when his property was being reviewed. Mr. Orlando also granted permission to access his property, and requested that he be contacted when it was being reviewed.
Mr. Lynde asked who would be paying for TF Moran. Mr. Gaydos said the Town was paying for the services. He would know more once the plans were reviewed. Mr. Lynde said he appreciated Mr. Jordan and Mr. Zohdi for working with the abutters.
Mr. Gaydos had no report.
(McDevitt/Derby) To adjourn the meeting.
(5 - 0 - 0) The motion carries.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately .
Respectfully submitted,

Skate City's rinks are havens for roller-skaters tired of rough asphalt and bumpy sidewalks. Within each, a smooth white plane stretches out in front of every pair of wheels, beckoning and tempting maximum speeds. And during open-skate sessions, these rinks become mini metropolises, stirring with skaters of all ages rolling to upbeat music. Each Skate City has its own lineup of special offerings, too: at some, Sunday nights mean free slices of pizza, whereas at others, Friday nights are reserved for teenagers tired of just sitting around, getting taller. When they aren't buzzing with public skating sessions, skating instruction, and hockey games, Skate City locations also transform into the ideal spots for birthday parties.
The sounds of slap shots and blades carving the ice resound through Big Bear Ice Arena as it sets the stage for visitors participating in hockey, figure skating, and a host of other games. Hockey programs for kids and adults follow the rules and regulations set forth by USA Hockey, which allows slap shots but not checking or doing burnouts in a Zamboni. When pucks aren't careening from board to board, figure skaters can glide out onto the ice for programs that range from a Learn to Skate class to competitive team events. Less competitive patrons, meanwhile, can log their time on the ice through games such as bandy and broomball or casual open skates.
Shoppers at Southlands can take a break by taking a turn on this icy outdoor skating rink. Families and friends can lace up rented hockey or figure skates, then take to the ice to enjoy the crisp, cold air as they practice spins and backward maneuvers or fine-tune impersonations of a baby deer learning to walk.
Over the course of Lace'em Up's three private lessons, an experienced instructor will cover the basics of skating, including the different parts of the blades, weight placement in the boots, and how to tell the left skate from the right skate. Beginner-level ice-carvers will then master the techniques of skating forward and backward, crossovers, transitional turns, speedy maneuvers, and stopping without the aid of walls or gravity. Each lesson's one-on-one attention ensures that skaters will stockpile skills at the fastest possible rate until they're capable of rocketing across the ice like a well-oiled dolphin on a Slip-n-Slide.
At amphitheaters, parks, and ice rinks throughout the city, Boulder Creek Events organizes get-togethers to inspire and connect community members. Each year, they bring more than 500 food vendors together with musicians and carnival rides for the Boulder Creek Festival. They also coordinate classic car shows and outdoor skating events. During the winter, BCE Productions fuels ice skaters with warm concessions, and during the summer the crew transforms the Twenty Ninth Street Plaza into a rink ideal for roller skates and guests with the latest trend in wheeled pedicures.
With two NHL-size rinks, seating for 350, an on-site Italian restaurant, The Ice Ranch hosts myriad activities involving ice-skating and entertainment. The staff is experienced in teaching patrons how to excel in all manner of ice-centric sports, from hockey to curling to broomball. Besides competitive programs, the Ice Ranch hosts skate lessons, public-skating sessions, and Zam Camp, where attendees get to sit in the driver's seat of the Zamboni and test their theory to determine whether the machine is actually a transformer or not.

initiatives, Congress directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to undertake a study with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to make recommendations about nutrition standards for foods offered in competition with federally reimbursable meals and snacks. An ad hoc committee of the IOM was thus convened and charged to
draw on literature regarding the availability, nutritional profile, and risks (including substitution) of school foods and beverages, including recent work by the Government Accountability Office, as appropriate;
synthesize lessons learned from relevant research, development of federal nutrition standards for the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, and experience from the development of state- and local-based standards for foods and beverages offered outside federally reimbursable meals and snacks;
consider whether a single set of nutrition standards is appropriate for elementary, middle, and high schools, or if more than one set is needed;
develop nutrition standards based on nutritional science for foods and beverages, other than federally reimbursable meals and snacks, offered in school;
consider how to ensure that foods and beverages offered in schools contribute to an overall healthful eating environment; and
develop benchmarks to guide future evaluation studies of the application of the standards.
To initiate the study process, the committee developed a set of guiding principles to support the creation of a healthful eating environment for children in U.S. schools and to guide the deliberations and development of standards (Box S-1).
The committee also reviewed pertinent evidence, guided principally by the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA). The DGA provides the most comprehensive science-based advice to promote health and reduce risk for major chronic diseases through diet and physical activity for the U.S. population two years of age and above. Although the scope of the DGA is quite broad, it does not cover all areas of importance to the committee's work on nutrition standards for schools—for example, it lacks recommendations concerning caffeine and nonnutritive sweeteners. However, the DGA are diet-based recommendations, and competitive foods and beverages must be regarded individually. Thus standards were set for individual foods to increase the likelihood that students meet overall DGA recommendations.

JMS Auto Service, Inc. Tech Question:
I'm Collins of Hinsdale. I had my engine go out and had to have it completely re-done at JMS Auto Service, Inc. in Hinsdale. What could I have done to prevent this?
JMS Auto Service, Inc. Tech Answer:
You've got to feel for Collins: an expensive major engine rebuild is pretty extreme. It's a tough situation for Hinsdale car owners to be in: maybe you're still making payments on your Sedan and nobody wants to buy it with a blown engine, so you really have no choice but to pay the money to get it fixed.
This is why your auto manufacturer and JMS Auto Service, Inc. has preventive maintenance schedules – to help you avoid major repairs. Suppose you don't change your timing belt on schedule and it breaks. That can mean bent valves and a damaged cylinder head.
Maybe you've skipped over the JMS Auto Service, Inc. recommendation to replace your coolant and end up with catastrophic overheating.
It could be you've skipped a few too many oil changes and now sludge has built up in your Sedan to the point that expensive parts in your engine are being damaged.
Check your Sedan oil level every month and follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended service schedules. And if you're behind on any services, ask your honest JMS Auto Service, Inc. service professional to help you work out a plan to get caught up.

Can the Graduate Plus Loan be used for Living Expenses? | 11.07.06
Graduate school is not only expensive as far as tuition is concerned; it is also expensive for the student because it is so time consuming and holding down a full time job is nearly impossible. Often times the student needs an additional loan to help with everyday living expenses, including rent. Since the Graduate plus loan is a Federal student loan it has to be processed through the school. This means that you apply for the loan through a lender…and that lender sends the loan directly to the school. Typically, a school will only certify an amount that is needed to cover tuition and other school expenses. What does this mean though? It means that schools determine their own eligible school expenses…and it is up to a student to make them aware of other expenses you may have so when that loan comes to the school, you are both in agreement on how much you need. So basically you need to collaborate with the school so that you are on the same page as far as your budget is concerned…and then apply for the Graduate Plus Loan for the amount that has been determined by you and your school.

Thursday night Impact Wrestling continued the on-going Dixie Carter drama and an unexpected return from a soon to be TNA Wrestling Hall of Famer. The Bound for Glory main event progressed in the ring, so we look at the drama outside of the ring and how these events shape the action to come on Making An Impact!
The opening segment of Impact Wrestling featured Dixie Carter and Sting having words with one another. After stating that Hulk Hogan will go unnamed, Dixie began to rant about how she needs no one to help run her company. Sting made his way down and wanted answers in regards to her recent behavior. Dixie took Sting making his own match as a sign of disrespect and made a match where if Sting and Magnus were to lose their tag bout, the Bound for Glory Sting Vs. Magnus match would not take place. A frustrated Sting could only pace as Dixie Carter made her way to the back.
Impact: It's safe to say that Dixie Carter is getting much more comfortable on the microphone and being heel. One can see that she is more of a condescending authority figure which rubs people the wrong way, not so much a power tripping character (yet). This is where her character and story differs from how the WWE is currently portraying Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. The interesting aspect is how Dixie's character is continually confronted by locker room leaders such as Hulk Hogan, AJ Styles and Sting. No other members of the TNA roster have come up in defiance of Dixie, but will that change? Interacting with different members of the roster will prove to be beneficial to the development of the main story and Dixie's onscreen character. If done right, she can tackle many stories on Impact Wrestling and evolve certain talents in their respective programs.
In the shocker of the night, Kurt Angle made his way into Tulsa, OK to interrupt the EGO Hall of Fame induction of Bobby Roode. Angle hasn't been seen in months, dealing with personal matters and recharging his batteries. During the EGO Hall of Fame induction, Bobby Roode touted his dominance in TNA Wrestling and questioned the induction of Kurt Angle into the TNA Wrestling Hall of Fame. This brought out the Olympic Gold Medalist and an in-ring confrontation which lead to the addition of Bobby Roode Vs. Kurt Angle at Bound for Glory.
Impact: Bound for Glory is the biggest event for TNA Wrestling, so all hands should be on deck to make the night as memorable as possible. Angle was believed to be only involved in his Hall of Fame induction, but a Bound for Glory bout against a talent the caliber of Bobby Roode gives the event a much needed boost. Not that Bully Vs. Styles or the 5-Man Ultimate X Match did not give the pay-per-view something to sink your teeth into, but Kurt Angle making his in-ring return will be something special. Not only will this surely be a contender for match of the night, but this can be a preview of who will next be competing for the TNA Heavyweight Championship in the coming year. For Angle, being inducted and competing in the biggest pay-per-view for TNA Wrestling should put that final period in the revitalization of not only Kurt Angle the performer, but Kurt Angle the man.

TAMPA, August 27, 2012 ― Everyone knows what to expect from a political rally. Speakers recite the party line on various subjects. The audience already agrees with them and knows what they are going to say. The crowd cheers. The opposition is trashed. The crowd cheers again. The keynote speaker is introduced. Standing ovation. More talking points.
Ron Paul's "We Are the Future Rally" couldn't have resembled that model less. Rather than politics, the entire program focused on ideas.
His first three speakers were libertarian philosophers Lew Rockwell, Walter Block and Butler Shaffer. There were no talking points. Instead, attendees were treated to intellectual arguments for individual liberty from three of the most powerful libertarian thinkers alive.
Not everyone agreed, either. Block's controversial argument for a new libertarian stance on abortion actually drew boos. Block argued that a woman has a property right in her body and thus can evict a "trespassing" fetus from her womb, but does not have a right to take the fetus' life. Block claimed that this was possible now during the third trimester of pregnancy and that as the science advanced, it would be possible earlier and earlier.
Some of the more conservative among Paul's following weren't ready to hear it.
There were speeches by politicians Barry Goldwater, Jr. and South Carolina State Senator Tom Davis, but even these were atypical. Goldwater read from and commented on passages from his father's Conscience of a Conservative, while Davis focused exclusively on attacking the Federal Reserve System.
Paul's official campaign blogger and rising conservative star Jack Hunter continued with a talk on conservative philosophy, citing Ronald Reagan, Russell Kirk and other noteworthy conservatives. Hunter reminded supporters of Reagan's "three-legged stool" theory of conservatism: equal parts national security conservatives, religious conservatives and economic/libertarian conservatives. Hunter argued that it was the absence of the libertarian leg that led to the profligacy of the Bush years. He quoted Reagan saying, "libertarianism is the very heart and soul of conservatism."
None of this is to suggest that the affair was a quiet seminar with attendees nodding their heads and taking notes. Right from senior campaign advisor Doug Wead's opening remarks, the atmosphere was electric and the applause thunderous. As usual, remarks on the Federal Reserve System and Paul's non-interventionist foreign policy got the most enthusiastic response.
Paul's son and political heir apparent, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, was the last to speak before Paul himself. Senator Paul concentrated on his efforts in the Senate to get a vote on Audit the Fed and on foreign policy, reminding supporters of one of his father's most memorable debate answers. When asked what his plan was to get U.S. troops out of Iraq, Paul responded, "We just marched in. We can just march out."
Senator Paul spoke for about 8 minutes before introducing his father to an ovation of seismic proportions.
Paul exhibited his characteristic sense of humor in warming up the crowd. Alluding to the speculation over whether he would be allowed to speak at the RNC, Paul said that he had been surprised to have received a call that day from the convention organizers. "They said that they changed their mind. They said they were going to give me a whole hour and I could say anything I want … tomorrow night!"
The convention had been postponed earlier that day.
Getting down to business, Paul began by acknowledging his delegates and the fight to get them seated at the RNC. He then moved on to the planks of his philosophy, including free markets, individual liberty, sound money and a non-interventionist foreign policy.
During his approximately one-hour speech, Paul quoted founding fathers, authors, political philosophers and economists, apparently from memory. In addition to specific policy positions, Paul also waxed philosophical on several occasions. On the role of government, he said:
"My personal goal with politics and my personal life is that a free society provides me an opportunity to seek virtue and excellence. And that should be a personal goal. If the government takes over the rule of trying to make you a better person, an excellent person and make you virtuous, it's all over. That is the seeds of authoritarianism."
Not once during the speech did Paul mention President Obama or Mitt Romney. Typical of his speeches throughout the campaign, Paul attacked what he considers bad ideas but not the people who espouse them.
Despite his many dire warnings about the consequences of Washington's present policy decisions, he left his supporters on a hopeful note.
"So instead of seeing this as a continuation of the era of the 20th century that gave us so much death and destruction and undermining our liberties, and conditions today that are so dangerous, let us think that we are now moving into a new era. A new era where we're going to concentrate on liberty and freedom and property and peace. I believe that is the cause that we should lead and I thank you very much for being a part of it."

Mad Hatter inspired pops can be made to look dark and vintage or fun and fantasy.
After seeing our Mad Hatter Marshmallow Pops at the HWTM.com Launch Party, Sweets Indeed thought we'd be a perfect addition to their Alice in Wonderland styled sweets and treats station they were working on for an adorable 4 year old's birthday party.
Every detail is just perfectly executed. I mean seriously, how amazing is the table tutu to resemble Alice's dress? Cute, right! Another one of my favorite parts is custom teacup cake stands they made and decorated. Super creative.
We made blue and green mad hatter hats to compliment the event colors. Our marshmallow hearts were also included
The cake, cookies, and cupcakes look deliciously sweet and adorable. Vanilla Bake Shop did an awesome job on those yummy little "paint red roses" french macaroons.
It was such a delight working with Marie and her team. Her creativity and professionalism impressed me. When I saw the photos, I too wish I had fallen down the rabbit hole!

Fits R Us
My 5 year old throws fits with total abandon that look like the Tasmanian devil has suddenly appeared. At 2 I had to remove all the cute kid furniture like the little table and chairs and the kid sized hall tree she hung her dress-up on because she would pick them up and CHUCK THEM across the room in her fits of rage. At 3 she kicked a hole in her wall. NOT ok. BUT her fits are short lived. 10 mins max and she doesn't hold grudges.
Almost 10 year old throws restrained fits that look like a volcano erupting. Seriously. She will rumble and rumble and finally spew as hurtful of words as she can think of (these have gotten more sophisticated over the years) like we are yucky or her sister is stupid or the favorite, she hates this family. Gasp! Of course there are tears involved because these girls can turn on tears like sprinklers on a switch. She will get sent to her room where you won't really hear anything, but you WILL get the ICE COLD shoulder for a day or two. Oh and the LOOKS she can throw should be patented. They will someday have the power to kill.
So far the baby looks like her fits are short, loud bursts and easily stopped. No long crying sessions like we saw with 5 year old at this age but certainly not the silence we saw at this age with almost 10 year old. Looks like we got 3 completely different versions. Yipee.
I most likely resemble a bomb. A very predictable bomb. They all KNOW how to set me off. Then, just as the neighbor is dialing 911, everyone scrambles and then I'm O.K. Mostly I just want to see them MOVE. Hey, I give them logical warnings like, "Cut the crap RIGHT NOW. " Or the eerily calm, through clenched teeth, "You will listen to what I am saying." I LOVE when I can pull off the scarier-than-Jason-the-psychopathic-killer calmness. So effective, but hard to count on all the time.
But having a fit doesn't necessarily suck. Fits can get a point across or let off steam when needed. We all get in our grooves and sometimes someone has to holler or thrash around a little to wake us up. "Hey YOU! Listen. To. Me." Or, "Look down here! Here, here, here!!" Or a little bit of, "What the FUCK?!" Can be useful here and there. Don't you think?

A well-timed fit can produce excellent results.
But we as women do need to remember to use them sparingly. Otherwise, our husbands roll their eyes and start muttering something about hormones.
When we throw a fit, we want them to LISTEN, damn it, not chalk it up to feminine emotionalism.
So, sparingly, but with big teeth.

LOL!, My oldest son Quintin used to stomp his foot on the ground as hard as he could and if I would ignore it he would stomp even harder. Until of course one day he actually hurt his foot.
Elijah was a "tosser", he would throw stuff all the time. One time he threw his "sippy" cup and it hit me square in the forehead. He at least was smart enough at that point to take off running as fast as he could. After the shock and pain subsided my first thought was "Damn! that was good shot" :)Oh, and Eli was also the one who pulled off and broke the automatic sliding door at the entrance of Stater Bros. once.
My daughters however, throw more tantrums now that their teenagers than I ever remember when they were younger. Go figure.

I was fortunate in that my daughter was never one to really throw a "fit". She did, however, have the "looks" down pat. Cold shoulder? Yep, she knew that one too.

Hello your oldest and dearest sister here, trying this comment thing. Mia was the champion fit thrower. Her first one was at six weeks old, in the pediatrician's office, who said she'd never seen someone so young throw a tantrum. As an infant she would scream until the capillaries in her face burst for no apparent reason. As a pre-schooler she would scream and kick her door for hours until she fell asleep. Again with no apparent reason except that the earth rotated in a way that she hadn't approved. So far as a teen, she's fairly reasonable and relatively calm. Here's to hoping that we already paid those dues.

This was a beautiful piece. Music to my mama ears. Though I think I need to see video of beloved Lucy having a tantrum in motion.
In my household right now the tantrum award is going to the 5 year old. The 13 year old has the teenage tantrum down perfect and the 9 year old is perfecting the male tantrum of storming to the room and slamming door with heated words kinda tantrum. But alas the 5 year old has cornered the blood curdling screaming in anger with an eye for an eye mental twist kinda tantrum. Like "I AM GONNA SPANK YOU BACK BECAUSE YOU DONT LOVE ME OR ELSE YOU WOULD NEVER HIT ME AND YOU CANT SPANK ME SO YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL CAUSE I AM GONNA SPANK YOU BACK NOW AND SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT". My husband and I are thinking we should just take up drinking now because the 3 year old is now beginning to take notes and starting to sample his own tantrum routine.
And indeed even parents toss tantrums though yours sound more awesome compared to mine. I am more a tea pot kinda person where the kids push and push and it builds and builds and I send warnings upon warnings and then BOOOOOOOOM and all hell opens up and the wrath could part so much water even Moses would be impressed. Does not happen much but indeed does happen and I am certain when my kids are older one of them is gonna write a book called "Holy Fucken Shit She Was Gonna Kill Us".

My secaond son was the worst, I would got to grab his sholder and he would fall to the ground and yell"why did you push me!" This he did many times. My daughter would throw herself to the ground and roll and kick. She didn't throw stuff, she would just kick at it. The worst was her scream once in car seat. She had an Aretha Franklin scream, break your earsdrums. People would freak if you gave them a ride, ask to let out and all. Those are great memories only.

First-time buyers
Getting a mortgage has become more difficult for first-time buyers in recent years, thanks to rising house prices. Even now, with residential property values set to stabilise or even fall in some areas, first-time buyers are instead faced with more difficulties when trying to secure a mortgage.
Perhaps you haven't managed to save a decent deposit yet, or maybe you're worried you might not be able to afford a mortgage on your income alone. Even if this is the case, there are options open to you.
This includes sharing a mortgage, guarantor mortgages and even government schemes for key workers or first-time buyers facing affordability issues.
Getting your first mortgage
It is worth thinking carefully before you commit to a property or a mortgage - is now the right time to buy for you? Would it be more sensible to wait and save for a little longer?

first published in The Snowshoer, September/October 99
Imagine two competitors racing against each other on a smooth, firm, white surface. One wears 8-inch wide by 25-inch long contraptions on his feet that weigh about one pound each, the other racer wears only running shoes. Upon rounding the final turn, both racers pick up the pace in a sprint for the finish. The racer wearing the running shoes easily accelerates ahead to finish first and claim the prize.
You might wonder why the competitor in second would encumber himself with wearing wide, long, and heavy things on his feet. Perhaps he thought that he was running in a snowshoe race.
You might think that the events described above are preposterous. I have seen them take place dozens of times in numerous snowshoe races over the past decade.
This article is an attempt to end such strange events by encouraging snowshoe race directors and race participants to adopt a uniform set of rules. Races should require competitors in snowshoe races to wear snowshoes at least 8 inches wide and 25 inches long on their feet at all times during the race.
Rules are an integral part of every sport. They define a sport and help ensure that competition is somewhat fair, equal and that the competition is between people and their abilities, not just between their equipment. There is a precedent in other larger and more established human powered race sports like cycling and Nordic skiing where the legal equipment must meet certain restrictions to keep the competition fair. It also makes sense that any sport requires the participants to use the equipment that is essential to the sport in order to compete.
This is an issue in snowshoeing for a number of reasons. To begin with, snowshoeing lacks an accepted and recognized international, national, or even regional governing body for developing and establishing rules. There have been and are small regional pockets of snowshoeing rules and regulations, but limited winter travel between regions and races may have prevented the widespread acceptance of these rules. Thus, it is not possible for a newcomer to the sport to reference a written set of snowshoeing rules that have gained worldwide acceptance.
Perhaps many new snowshoers and event directors assume that snowshoe racing is a simple sport that requires no rules. While a race is a fairly simple thing, competitive human nature demands a few simple rules to give everyone an equal chance. Just about every race sport, from running to swimming, has a few basic rules and snowshoeing should not be the exception.
Another problem is those printed rules that do mention the required size of snowshoes conflict. I have seen 10 inches by 34 inches; 9 inches by 30 inches; 8 inches by 25 inches; and 8 inches by 22 inches all listed as the minimum size snowshoe required for racingalong with no restrictions mentioned at all! Of these sizes, 8 by 25 is the most common size restriction mentioned at races, especially in the United States. Many sanctioning organizations such as the US Snowshoe Association, the International Snowshoe Federation, and International Special Olympics state that the minimum size for competitive snowshoes be 8 inches by 25 inches.
Standards are a must for races
Race organizers must notice and enforce shoe sizes to have a fair race. I have seen competitive people trying to gain an edge by wearing small and tiny snowshoes designed for children, carrying their snowshoes in their hands instead of wearing them on their feet or having no snowshoes on at all. Event directors permit this out of ignorance, oversight, or greedmany times because of all of these. When the free snowshoes run out, few race directors are willing to turn away or refund money to paying entrants, and they permit those people to race without snowshoes. This practice is irritating, not only to the competitors who do wear snowshoes, but also to the manufacturers that support the events.
Making this possible is the widespread use of courses that are firm, groomed, set and packed enough so as not to require a true and sizable snowshoe that provides floatation. Significant portions of many snowshoe races exist simply as handicapped running where floatation is not an issue. The racers may still be benefiting from the traction and stability that snowshoes provide, but these obstacles can be overcome with skill by many racers not wearing snowshoes.
Snowshoe races being held entirely on packed snow are, in effect, ignoring the main function and essence of snowshoeingfloatation. These types of events are also poor places for people to the potential value that snowshoes can offer, especially if these racers are newcomers to the sport. I cringe every time I hear a new racer complain that they could have completed a race faster without snowshoes.
This is not to say, however, that these events are not snowshoeing. They are just a different type of snowshoeing. A major component of competitive snowshoeing, on any type of snow, is the ability to maneuver a pair of somewhat awkward, sizable and weighty implements strapped to your feet quickly around a course. It can be difficult in many cases for event directors to set up snowshoe races that contain large sections of deeper snow where floatation becomes important. These events should continue to take place, but is even more important for them to have minimum snowshoe size restrictions to preserve a difficult component of snowshoeing.
I am suggesting 8 inches by 25 inches be the minimum size for snowshoes in snowshoe races for several reasons. As mentioned before, this is the most common size mentioned by those organizations that already are trying to regulate the sport. It is probably the most popular size of snowshoes bought worldwide, and most manufacturers already make a suitable 8-by-25 model. This size seems to offer the right combination of lightweight, maneuverability and adequate flotation in many race situations for the average sized adult. Yes, 8 and 25 are somewhat arbitrary numbers probably dating back to the size of some of the original aluminum production snowshoes developed a few decades ago. The line needs to be drawn somewhere, however, and it makes sense to do it at a place that is already in common use today.
Some would argue that, since we are trying to preserve some of the essential substance of snowshoeing in requiring minimum sizes that can provide floatation, that we should measure these sizes in surface area. Square inches, or perhaps square meters, would be a more accurate measurement of surface than simple length by width dimensions. There are difficulties, however, in adopting a surface area a s the restriction. Few snowshoes on the market come with readily known and available figures for their surface area. This is not an easy thing to determine, especially with some of the strange frame shapes we are seeing today. One can hardly expect race directors to get out their rulers and calculators to determine the surface area of new or prototype designs of snowshoes that show up at their starting lines. Length by width dimensions are simple to determine, and the overall size is what is hard to control and maneuver regardless of surface area.
Keeping it Fair
Other people may claim that it is not fair that lighter, smaller and weaker people be forced to use the same size snowshoe as their larger, stronger, and taller competitors, especially since they do not require the extra floatation that a larger snowshoe provides. Perhaps this is so, but most sports are not fair to all body types. Should 210-pound runners be allowed to run a 22-mile marathon because it is harder for them to cover the 26.2-mile distance than 120-pound runners? Of course not, especially since one of the great things about snowshoeing, like any racing, is that everyone lines up at the start with an equal chance to race against everyone else.
Everyone competing in a snowshoe race should be required to wear snowshoes that are at least 8-by-25 at all times during the event. Event directors should strive to have their races on snow that is unpacked or semi-packed as much as possible, and state this size restriction in their entry form. Participants should demand that this regulation be enforced, and should make event directors aware of it. Perhaps this will lead to the end of finishing sprints between competitors using different shoes in the future.

The death penalty in 2008
In 2008, at least 2,390 people were known to have been executed in 25 countries and at least 8,864 people were sentenced to death in 52 countries around the world.
As in previous years, the five countries with the highest number of executions in 2008 were China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the United States of America (Fig. 1). Together these five countries carried out 93 per cent of all executions carried out in 2008. These countries provide the greatest challenge towards global abolition of the death penalty.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

As the winter solstice nears and the sun sets earlier and earlier each night, December's evenings afford even the youngest members of the family the opportunity to do some stargazing. Choose a quiet room with a large window and a clear view of night sky, and turn off the lights so you can best see the sky. A telescope will help you see a bit better, but isn't necessary -- many constellations are visible to the naked eye.
If you enjoyed stargazing over the summer, show your children how the winter's sky is oriented differently from that of the summer -- constellations and planets have shifted positions. Different star groupings and planets are visible now, while others you might have seen in the summer have now passed out of range of sight. In the northern Hemisphere, you're likely to see Orion, for instance, while those easily recognizable Big and Little Dippers of summer have rotated out of view. If you live far enough north (and have kids who can stay up late enough), you might get to see the Aurora Borealis.
And even though one doesn't need quiet to watch the stars, a grandmother we know once told us that one can see better when one makes less noise. Encourage the kids to give her words of wisdom a try for five minutes, and see how much of the universe becomes clearer in the silence -- for yourself as well as them.
