The Temple: Gaining Knowledge and Power in the House of the Lord Audio Book | Ed J. Pinegar (author) | BUY $17.99 | |
Product Description
The Atonement is the central focus of the temple and is typified in all aspects of the temple ordinances. However, we must train our eyes, ears, and hearts to recognize it and the significance and meaning behind the symbols related to the Atonement.
The holy temple of the Lord is perhaps our most profound earthly link to our Father in Heaven—a sanctuary of peace and perspective, of eternal covenants, and of sacred service to our kindred dead. Among its most essential functions, the temple is a haven of instruction in the doctrines of eternity. Renowned gospel scholar Ed J. Pinegar invites readers to consider the infinite importance of all aspects of temple worship and the inseparable connection of temple ordinances to the Savior's Atonement. Citing the teachings of Church leaders—as well as his own personal insights and experiences as a sealer, longtime temple patron, and former temple president—the author instills in readers a fundamental sense of gratitude as they come to more fully realize the significance of the temple as the only way back to our Father through the Atonement of Christ the Lord.

text: I just got a PF9 and one of the main reasons for doing so was to have a pocket-carryable pistol. I'd love to hear from those more experienced than I who EDC in the pocket about where you keep the rest of their stuff (Cell, wallet, keys, smokes, knife, light, etc.). I have been carrying all my stuff a certain way so long, it's hard for me to think about where to move it to accommodate a firearm. I am right-handed and do have a pocket-holster. Thanks!

Then Emilio supposedly looked around as if to make sure no one was eavesdropping. Here was the big secret: In November at the Ibero-American Summit in Panama, Gen. Eduardo Delgado, the chief of Cuba's intelligence agency, was going to defect. For security reasons, Emilio warned, the general insisted his rendezvous be with just one person. Further he wanted that individual to be Posada, because he knew "Posada's connections with the CIA" would ensure him safe passage to the United States. Emilio added that Delgado would be looking for Posada's face because it was well-known inside Cuba. So well-known, Posada laughed, that the Cuban intelligence service uses his face for target practice.
Barrera stopped Remón again. "Did the person named Emilio ever make contact with you?"
"No, madam attorney," Remón replied.
"Did he ever make contact with Gaspar Jimenez or Guillermo Novo?" she asked.
Again he said no.
The Cafeteria Biggest meeting ended, and, according to Remón, Posada did not communicate with Emilio again until early November, when the two spoke by telephone. By then Posada would be in Panama.
Remón told Panamanian authorities he first learned of the defection plan in El Salvador after flying there from Miami on August 26 at Posada's request. "Among other things Posada asked me to make arrangements for political asylum for the future defector with one of my friends in the United States," Remón explained to Barrera. "At the same time I insisted that Luis Posada Carriles should not travel to Panama alone, that he should go there a few weeks early to familiarize himself with the terrain, rent at least three different apartments in different parts of the city, and prepare and study different escape routes for the defector."
Several days later Remón returned to Miami and to his job as director of sales and marketing for Sanper Distributors, a Hialeah Gardens-based company that imports cookware from Latin America. In 1985 he was indicted in New York for the 1980 murder of Cuban diplomat Felix Garcia-Rodriguez, a failed assassination attempt, and eight bombings from 1976 to 1980. He was not convicted on most of the charges, but in 1986 a U.S. judge sentenced him to ten years in federal prison, after he pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of another Cuban diplomat in 1980 and to one of the bombings.
Remón didn't tell Gaspar Jimenez about the Panama mission until October, according to Jimenez's statement. The two were in Miami at the time, though Jimenez could not recall the location of the conversation.
You might think that four men planning to receive a defector could simply fly to Panama City and check into a hotel like tourists or businessmen. Not so, say the defendants. Their plan called for them to meet at Paso Canoas, in western Panama near the Costa Rican border. Panamanian investigators determined that Posada traveled from San Salvador to San José, Costa Rica, on October 14 and again on October 24. From the Costa Rican capital he entered Panama using a Salvadoran passport in the name of Franco Rodriguez. He arrived in Panama City the first week of November.
Guillermo Novo, who was acquitted of involvement in the 1976 bombing death of Chilean ambassador Orlando Letelier but served four years for lying to a grand jury investigating the crime, flew from Miami to San José on November 13. Three days later he flew to Panama City. Both times he traveled with a valid U.S. passport in his name.
Jimenez flew from Miami to San José on November 14. He was traveling as Manuel Diaz. He had a U.S. passport bearing the false name and his real photograph. (The U.S. embassy in Panama confirmed the fraud this past February in a diplomatic note.) Remón flew from Miami to San José on November 15.
Jimenez and Remón flew in a small plane from San José to the Panamanian border. Jimenez refused to tell investigators how, where, or from whom he had obtained his fraudulent passport in the name of Manuel Diaz. He needed it for the defection mission because he was on a list of 55 dangerous people that Castro had given Panamanian authorities before the summit.
Posada and Novo, meanwhile, traveled in the Mitsubishi rental car from Panama City to meet them. José Hurtado drove. They all went to a nearby farm owned by a Cuban friend of Posada named Pepe Valladares (who currently is under house arrest).
Hurtado told investigators that Posada instructed him to stay at a hotel that night and thus could not comment on what the Cubans discussed at the farm or whether they picked up some C-4 explosives there.
The next day Posada, Novo, and Remón flew to Panama City. Jimenez made the trip by car with Hurtado.
Jimenez denied that the reason he traveled by car was to transport the explosives and detonators, thereby avoiding airport scrutiny. He went by land, he maintained, because he thought flying would make him sick. "When I [got off the plane] at the border, I told Mr. Pedro Remón that I wasn't going to get into one of those little planes again because it would kill me," Jimenez told prosecutor Barrera.

Fifty years ago this week, president John F. Kennedy arrived at the University of Maine to give what would be his last major foreign policy address.
About 15,000 people were there and TV5 broadcast that speech to the entire state.
We continue our look back at the remarkable career of George Hale, who, like TV5, is celebrating 60 years in broadcasting in Bangor.Jon Small had a chance to talk with George about his career.Many generations have grown up listening to George broadcast high school and UMaine sporting events.But, it was a few years after he arrived here in 1953 that local sports became part of his legacy in radio and at TV5.
Read more on George Hale – 60 Years in Broadcasting, Part 2…
60 years ago this year, WABI became the first television station in Maine.Another broadcasting institution in Bangor is also celebrating 60 years on the air…our own George Hale.Jon Small recently sat down with George to talk about his remarkable career.
As WABI celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, we're tapping into our time machine.If you grew up in the 60's in the TV5 viewing area, there's no doubt you remember Bozo the Clown.The live show aired week nights on WABI.Joy Hollowell recently sat down with Bozo's sidekick, Ringmaster Bob.===Bob Woodbury had just started working at WABI back in 1961, when he was asked to assist Mike Dolley on a new children's show. The chemistry between the two men was instantaneous."We just kind of instinctively knew what the other one was going to do," says Woodbury.There was no script for the show. 5 nights a week, 52 weeks a year, Woodbury says he would just follow Bozo's lead."Mike did a bit with a metal folding chair, trying to get it open. Putting his foot through it, falling down, trying to open it while his foot was in it," says Woodbury. "And it went on for 5 minutes. The next day, we'd be in making up to go on the air, and Mike says, 'I've got these bruises all over my body, I don't know where they came from.' Mike, you did the chair bit yesterday.'"The show ran from 5 to 6 each week night, and the studio was faithfully filled with a live audience of kids."We didn't pander to the kids," says Woodbury. "We treated them with respect and they did the same for us. And we could interact with them. And, that was fun, that was really fun."More than four decades after the show ended, Woodbury still gets recognized as Ringmaster Bob."I always ask them if they got to roll the cartoon show and those who didn't, the disappointment on their face is real," says Woodbury with a smile. "And how many years later are we talking about here, and these are adults."Now 75 years old, Woodbury says he's amazed and humbled to be a part of this children's classic."When someone mentions the Bozo show, I think I probably blush," says Woodbury. "I've had a long life and it's been a great life, thoroughly enjoyable. I mean, how many people can say at the end of an 8 hours day, I'm looking forward to working another hour with 25 to 30 kids (laughs)."===WABI still has two of the chairs used on the set of Bozo the Clown. Bob Woodbury instantly recognized them when he came into the studio for our interview.
12 sitting Presidents have been to Bangor, two of them spent the night in the city.Those two visits and one from 2004 were the most interesting trips by the Commander in Chief.It started with the first ever visit in 1871 by Ulysses S. Grant, according to Dana Lippitt of the Bangor Museum and Historical Society. "They had spent about 20 years connecting all the rail lines through Maine with Canada to shorten the sea voyage for goods going back and forth, and they had an enormous celebration, there were cotillions and parades and torch light parades and illuminations on houses. Grant came for all of that there were special train trips it was quite a party."However there was some controversy, and there are a couple of differ versions of the events.Bangor Author and Historian Dick Shaw says one version of the events made it out as though there might have been tension as the President was slated to dine with Bangor Mayor Samuel Dale "U.S. Grant came in 1871 and he basically was quote unquote for an hour or so by someone who didn't want him to go up to what is now the Historical Society building, and rode him around town. and well the former Union Commander wasn't anyone to be messing with, so he finally chomped on his cigar and said what's going on here, get me up there now and he basically did a walk through shook a few hands and front door, back door."Lippitt recounts a slightly different version "They forgot to invite the President to dine with Mayor Dale and so someone went down to the Bangor House and got him to come up here and and he kind of came in one door and out the other. I do not know if it's true. The newspaper articles that following day said that he dined with Mr. Dale and there was another home of the Libby family that he also stopped in at, or dined at, and it doesn't say anything about coming in one door and going out the other"The other President to stay in the city was Jimmy Carter, on February 17th, 1978."There was a drawing done here in Bangor of people who wanted to dine in a big public thing," said Lippitt. "We have the cards here they drew them out of a draft box that was used during the civil war."The most interesting part of his stay was where he stayed. Not in a hotel but on Maple Street with the Murray family. "It was part of his plan to get to know his constituents, not just his wealthy constituents, but his supporters within the Democratic party," said Lippitt."Well the Murrays were Middle America, they looked around you know, they were good Democrats, which wasn't a bad thing, they were supporters of Carter, the also lived on a corner of Maple and Mount Hope Avenue, so there wasn't a house on one side and there was a good distance in back so if you're the Secret Service, it was easier to protect the house and they had a family and they had a bedroom, it was a good deal of PR you know involved," said Shaw. "Today I don't think it would happen, but Carter being the Habitat for Humanity guy and he carried his own suitcase out, the media had like three minutes to meet with him, and then he went to bed, got up early the next morning, and then had a breakfast out at Husson"The most recent sitting President to visit Bangor was George W. Bush during his re-election campaign in 2004."Very warm day in September," recalled Shaw. "What would it be 2004, it was a campaign stop, and then I never saw Air Force One, where was it? And then he actually went on a troop flight and met troops." "But to actually, I don't know how much the troops on board actually knew what was going to happen, they could look out the window and see something but, and then all of the sudden there's the Chief Executive there in a blue tie," said Shaw.And that day on the plane with US Troops, then President Bush grabbed the microphone to address them. "I appreciate being the president of such fine men and women, may God bless you all and keep you safe, and may God bless America."According to notes given to WABI TV5 by Dick Shaw, the list of sitting Presidents to visit Bangor is :October 17-18, 1871 – Ulysses S. GrantSeptember 13, 1882 – Chester A. ArthurAugust 8, 1889 – Benjamin HarrisonAugust 27, 1902 – Theodore RooseveltJuly 23, 1910 – William Howard TaftJune 27, 1955 – Dwight D. Eishenhower (would return briefly in July 1955)October 19, 1963 – John F. Kennedy (delivered last major foreign policy at University of Maine, Orono speech before being assasinated)August 21, 1966 – Lyndon B. JohnsonAugust 6, 1971 – Richard NixonFebruary 17, 1978 – Jimmy Carter November 1, 1966 – Bill Clinton (also visited BIA January 9, 2006 to greet troops)September 23, 2004 – George W. Bush
Through the years, a dozen sitting Presidents have made their way through the Bangor area.When the first President arrived Bangor had been incorporated less than 40 years."I think it's because Bangor is sort of a crossroads community," said Dana Lippitt of the Bangor Museum and Historical Society. "It's surrounded by smaller communities, and whenever a President comes, it's really the closest we have to royalty."The first President to visit Bangor was the 18th, Ulysses S. Grant in 1871, and he was one of just two Presidents to stay in the Queen City. Many of them made appearances at the Bangor House."That was the finest hotel It was one of the Palace Hotels and they almost always stayed there."said Lippitt. "There's great pictures of Taft on the balcony over the Main Street side, giving a speech to thousands and thousands of people who filled the streets."Not all of the Chief Executives stayed in Bangor. Some just stopped on their way through."You had Taft and then you had whistle stops, Chester Arthur and Benjamin Harrison in the late 1800's, Arthur I think went into the Bangor House and met with people and shook hands."said local Author and Bangor Historian Dick Shaw. "There's a big gap between 1910 when President Taft came and then it was all the way until 1955 before Eisenhower came through. He'd been fishing in Western Maine, and unbelievable in those times, you could take a man in a car all the way Route 2 a hundred miles all the way from Rangeley Lakes area right through Skowhegan into Bangor, Dow Field."While no President's came during that 45 year span, there was one other White House visit."The first lady visited the city," said Lippitt. "Eleanor Roosevelt came through here quite often, there were several events that she stayed for.""FDR came through here many times as a young man on the train on the way to Campabello," said Shaw. "But never as President after he was stricken with polio in 1921 in Campabello, he came back only three times there and I think his life was in Washington it was too much of an ordeal so he never made an official visit here, but Eleanor his wife came to the old auditorium in 1941, the next best thing."The fourth time a President visited was early in the 20th century."Teddy Roosevelt came, spoke at the Bangor House and then he went down to what then was Maplewood Park," Shaw recounted. "And the Bangor Fair was going on and everyone was asked to pay a dollar to hear the President speak, and it was actually like a mini scandal because a dollar was a lot of money in 1902."Bangor has been a campaign stop for many candidates, both winners and losers of November elections, so the dozen Presidents to visit could be considered much more according to Shaw. "Bangor's had a number of future Presidents, McKinley and Garfield, and well, past Presidents, Hoover, Herbert Hoover was here as an old man was here, so when people say what President's have been here, you know you, once a President always a President, I. don't think it's anything you really retire from, so it's royalty in our city it is the Queen City after all."
In the days leading up to January 25th, 1953, TV's were more like pieces of furnture, not the flat screens we have today, and not many people had one yet."Murray Carpenter, the manager at the time, he had one. We didn't know how to tune it in. Of course, you couldn't get anything on it anyway, except snow."In an interview years ago, the late Walter Dickson, who came to WABI radio in 1938 and became the station's chief engineer, said he went to WABI's owner, Governor Horace Hildreth, with the idea to start a television station. The governor wasn't immediately sold on the idea."If you fellas want to go with it, how much is it going to cost? It will be around a hundred thousand dollars Governor, not a cent more. If it works, fine. If not, we'll forget about it." They didn't have to worry. On that late January day in 1953, Dickson would make history, throwing the switch that brought the first television station north of Boston to the airwaves. As former TV5 General Manager George Gonyar remembers, television sales skyrocketed at local businesses. "It was exciting. The whole marketplace, everybody, went out a bought a TV and put an antenna on the roof. You had to have an antenna and waited for that signal to come on." "They had a bonanza. They started selling TV sets. They called me up and wanted me to come up and show people how to tune one. Well, I hardly knew how to spell television myself, you know."There was not a lot of programming in the early days. Hal Shaw had the first show on TV5, playing records, which he recalled during one of our previous anniversary celebrations. "I came to WABI Radio as a morning disc jockey on "Rise and Shine," then went to TV as the first TV announcer in the state of Maine. I remember how proud we were to get the first film on the air. We even sold the test pattern." Everything was live, including the commercials, which were read from cue cards. George Hale came to WABI just a few months after the television station went on the air in 1953."I can remember doing a thing called 'Spin the Wheel.' The show was supposed to be five minutes. They came in with five minutes of commercials. The sponsor said, 'you want to do a show, that's your problem. I bought five minutes, I want it all commercials.' So I did the first infommerical." Back then, the TV studio was on Copeland Mountain in Holden and the offices were in downtown Bangor. Eventually, everything was moved to Hampden, but the company kept growing, and a new location was needed. Studio City opened in 1962, with long lines of folks waiting to tour this brand new facility. It's still our home today.We've gone from black and white to color, film to video tape, to no tape at all, analog to the digital revolution. One thing remains constant: WABI is Maine's only locally owned television station, still controlled by the Hildreth family. In fact, TV5 is the oldest station in the country to be under the continuous ownership of one family.
In 1953 gas cost .29 a gallon, you could buy a car for less than $1,900, minimum wage was .75 an hour, and WABI-TV 5 signed on as Maine's first television station. This year, we are celebrating 60 years of great TV. The current edition of Maine Seniors Magazine takes a look back at our station's history. 60 years ago, the Hildreth family did something no one else in Maine was doing. " Those were the glory days. Channel 5 was doing, they were doing live TV at the Main Street festival of every town in their coverage area during the summer," said Rick Bronson. TV5 was Maine's first TV station and for many people, it was more than that. " I was sort of born at WABI," said Bronson. Rick Bronson's dad, Dick, was one of the pioneers of the station. " He really became, more or less, the first general manager of the first TV station north of Boston," explained Bronson. Even in the beginning, WABI's mission was clear: local news, local programming, and family. " He viewed the viewers as part of their family," said Bronson, talking about his father. Russ Van Arsdale was a reporter for TV5 from September 1977 through early 1981. He remembers long days traveling to and from Augusta. " When I started at channel 5, we were shooting 16 millimeter film, so you had to get back to the station in time to process the film and edit it by hand and then get it on the air," said Van Arsdale. One of the most-remembered TV5 personalities from the past is Mike Dolley. You might know him as the guy who played Bozo and Santa. " There are people that I run into who are my age and a little bit older that remember him reading their letter on TV," said David Nealley. If you look back at the history of WABI, you'll see a lot of familiar faces. " Bud Leavitt was a big celebrity for WABI. He was their big outdoor sports guy," explained Nealley. TV5 staffers got to rub elbows with some pretty impressive people, including Clint Eastwood, Walter Cronkite, and Dan Rather. " When Dan Rather's there with Gordon Manuel in the photo, I mean what does that say about that day and age," said Nealley with a smile. David Nealley is the publisher of Maine Seniors Magazine. In the latest edition, WABI takes center stage. " The nostalgia and the history of so much in Maine is a part of the publication and that's why the WABI story was important for Maine Seniors Magazine," said Nealley. Bronson and Van Arsdale wrote the articles in Maine Seniors Magazine. For Bronson, it was easy, he remembers when the studio was on State Street in Bangor. Bronson even went back recently to see what's changed. " The second and third floors haven't changed since they moves out in '62. Seriously, you could walk in there today and see the radio studios," said Bronson. In the early days, TV5 was leading the way. The station sent a crew to Nova Scotia for the launch of the blue nose ferry to Bar Harbor. " They went over there and did live television from Nova Scotia sometime in the early 50's, back to Channel 5, the only television station in Maine," explained Bronson. Sixty years later, the faces at TV5 have changed, but the mission is the same. " To still dominate in the local market is a significant tribute to WABI and all it's been throughout the years," said Nealley. WABI TV5 is still about local news, local programming, and family.

The ice storm of 1998 was due in part to the strong El Nino that was present at that time. During El Nino winters the Sub-Tropical Jet Stream tends to be stronger than usual and that helps to keep the southern tier of the United States wetter than normal. The polar jet on the other hand typically remains north of its usual winter location and that tends to keep the pure arctic air trapped north of the U.S. Canadian border. On occasion during this type of pattern the Sub-Tropical Jet will turn north and allow the deep moisture laden airmass to move up the Eastern Seaboard as was the case in January of 1998. The ice storm started on January 5th and continued right through the 9th. On about the 5th a storm in the upper levels of the atmosphere began to develop over the Southern Plains States and this along with an unseasonably strong high over the Central Atlantic helped pull the Sub-Tropical Jet Stream up through the Ohio River Valley and then into Northern New England. At the same time the jet was pulling tropical moisture northward aloft a large and very slow moving surface ridge of high pressure was developing over South Central Quebec. The high at the surface turn the winds near the ground into the north and northeast and that caused the shallow arctic air over Quebec to ooze south into Northern New England. From January 5th through January 9th the cold front that introduced the arctic air at the surface to Maine stalled along the Southern New England Coastline. Over the same 5 days the high over Quebec expanded east into the Canadian Maritimes allowing arctic air to remain trapped at the surface across most of the Pine Tree State. Beginning on the 5th a series of storms developed over the Ohio River Valley and then rode northeast along the now stationary front located south of Maine. The storms were able to tap the tropical moisture associated with the Sub-Tropical Jet and draw it north into Maine. While temps near the ground remained below freezing the temps a few thousand feet up were warmer and that caused the snow falling aloft to melt as it moved through the warm layer a few thousand feet above the ground. As the precipitation moved back into the colder air near the surface it either turned into sleet or remained super cooled rain and then froze upon contact with any surface it touched. Far northern parts of Maine remained cold enough at all levels of the atmosphere that most of the precipitation fell as snow, while extreme southern and at times coastal parts of the state saw a combination of rain and freezing rain. The first couple of storms that slid by to our south brought light precipitation to our region on the 5th and 6th, with a much stronger storm arriving on the 7th and lasting into the 9th which brought heavier precipitation to our region . A cold airmass followed the storm beginning on the 10th as the last storm slipped offshore ant that ensured the ice would remain encased on all exposed surfaces for a prolonged period of time. When all was said and done about 2 to 5″ of freezing rain and sleet had accumulated all across Eastern and Central Maine.

This year, TV5 is celebrating 60 years on the air.Throughout the year, we'll look back at some of the biggest news stories of the last six decades.Among them, The Ice Storm of '98. It left nearly 70-percent of the state in darkness, as trees and power lines toppled.It also left a lot of memories.15 years later, everyone has a story about surviving the ice storm. Now we're sharing some of them again.The devastation of the Ice Storm of '98 was felt in different ways, as one by one Mainers struggled to cope and recover.For farmers, like the Candage family of West Levant, it was a cellar full of water and frozen hoses as they tried to keep their cattle alive. A cry for help on a local radio station saved their livelihood. Dennis Candage said, "We had one guy from Newport, to this day I don't know who he was, but he brought out a generator to help pump the water out of the cellar. And we had one lady gave us probably about 20 gallon jugs of water. She left a little note on it saying this ain't much, but it's a help, which it was."Jim and Norma Corliss, who own a Christmas tree farm in Newburgh, lost their home in the storm. When the power went out, they used their wood-burning furnace to keep it warm. That furnace started a fire that leveled the place they'd live for nearly 30 years. Jim Corliss says, "A house is a house. It's the things inside that really matter and there are few things that we lost that are not replaceable. And we still think about those things. But you move on."Something that's easier for Jim to do than Norma. Hours after their house burned down, he returned to the rubble. "I came up into what was left of the kitchen and measured from the corner to where the new door was going to be in my new house. I already had it built and the engines were still warm on the fire trucks."For local historian Dick Shaw, who was an editor at the Bangor Daily News, it's a heart wrenching phone call to the newsroom that's frozen in his mind."I'm talking two weeks later, this man in Levant was crying. He had no water. In the city we lost power but you had running water. He had a baby – no formula – what do I do? What can you do?"Among the frigid memories of the Ice Storm of '98, there are also some fond ones. Like with Kevin O'Connell, a lineman for Bangor Hydro. He spent hours away from his family, trying to restore electricity to thousands. "A lot of us linemen working, our homes didn't have power. So we'd get out of work, dead tired, go back to the house, have to chop ice off the roof, try to get something going in the house for heat."His 7-year-old son Kyle missed his dad but admired his dedication. So much so he was ready to follow his father to work. "I want to be a hydro man when I grow up."15 years later…"I don't want to work for the hydro – not at all. Hahaha! It's a good place to work but not for me."Instead Kyle serves in the National Guard and wants to train to be a state police officer. But he still has a lot of respect for the man so many literally looked up to as a hero."He's the hardest worker I know. I'm proud of him for the stuff he does every day."15 years after the Ice Storm, Shaw still considers it a tragic adventure. Six people died as a result of the storm, which left the state with $300 million in damage. But it also brought people together, determined to survive.Shaw says in some ways many can even laugh about it now – but not too hard. "I'd like to think it couldn't happen again, but then who ever thought New Jersey and New York would get hit by a hurricane the way they did with Sandy. So anything's possible. But it's been 15 years without anything close."There's not much we can do to avoid another ice storm. But we have learned some things to help us better weather one. Bangor Hydro says its tree trimming program is stronger.And last month the company completed a redundant power line to cover the same area of Washington County that lost power for 29 days.So if another ice storm should try to bring the main line down again, there's now a back up.
This year, TV5, Maine's first TV station, is celebrating sixty years on the air. So we'll be taking a look back at some of the biggest news stories through the years.We begin with Ice Storm of '98.It was 15 years ago, this week, when Maine descended into darkness – for some it would take days, even weeks to recover. The Ice Storm of '98 left more than 800,000 people without power, when trees and power lines came crashing down.Even now, many consider it the worst natural disaster in the Maine's history. Here's a look back at the storm that coated the state.It's the sounds that are as much a part of the Ice Storm of '98 as it is the sights."They're really much worse – CRASH! – this is what we've listened to," said Lovern Stockwell, an Ice Storm survivor.Over and over again, ice coated tree branches and power lines came crashing down as freezing rain, snow and sub-zero temperatures blanketed Maine for days.Kevin O'Connell – a lineman for Bangor Hydro – remembers a co-worker watching his back. "Lterally he had to spot me while I was working on the house because there were tree branches coming down, all around us and it was just like bombs going off when they came down."And then there was the darkness that followed. At one point nearly 70-percent of Mainers lost power. O'Connell says, "I remember one of the first nights driving back over the bridge to Brewer and Brewer was black. That was a strange feeling. So that was like, holy cow, we're in for a big one. "Local historian Dick Shaw says with 6 deaths and $300 million in damage, the storm will go down in history as horrendous. "We should never forget just how troubled people were – it was a true crisis situation."For many, the slow and steady build up of the storm certainly didn't hint that a crisis was coming.Bill Cohen was the spokesperson for Bangor Hydro at the time. "I remember walking out with the president and chief operating officer of Bangor Hydro to go to lunch at noon and there was a little sprinkle and looking around and saying, oh this is nothing. And by the time nighttime had rolled around, it was absolute devastation."As a whole, one of the hardest hit areas was Washington County. Ice toppled a nearly nine-mile stretch of lines and poles. Scott Richards, a line superindent for Bangor Hydro, said at the time, "Your heart sinks because you know you're not going to be able to get this fixed overnight."Richards was one of the front men on the repairs of Line 66.It took 29 days and supplies from out-of-state to bring it back to life. "I mean 150 poles, nine miles of line that all had to come from somewhere. Some of the poles came from as far away as Oklahoma – one guy showed up on the empty roads and had never even seen snow before."The storm was a game changer in many ways, as power companies moved into crisis management mode and learned the value of communication. Cohen says, "At the time Bangor Hydro's policy was don't tell anybody where crews were. We broke that policy and we found the temperature of everybody came down. If you knew you were going to be another day, you weren't happy but at least you knew."The Ice Storm of '98 reminded a lot of people about the power of Mother Nature and the determination of Mainers to pull through some of the most dire situations.Everybody has a memory of the ice storm – whether they never lost power or lived without it for weeks. We'll share some of those experiences and even some fond memories in Part 2 of A Look Back at the Ice Storm of '98.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Darby!
Facts about Darby
- Breed: Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Darby's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hello – My name is Darby! I'm a 1-2 year old female Poodle/Terrier mix. The staff at The PRC saved me from the OC Shelter, and now I'm ready for my forever home. I'm already spayed, micro-chipped, and am up to date on all my vaccines. I am a very sweet girl, and have quickly become a staff favorite because of my winning personality. I love to snuggle and be held, but am also very good on a leash and like to take walks. Come to The PRC and see how irresistible I am!
Pets are visited by appointment (times are flexible). Please email Casey Oliver at firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange a meeting time. This process allows potential adopters to spend adequate time with their prospective pet and prevents long wait times.
All interested parties must fill out an Adoption Application, which will be reviewed to find the best possible match. You can find our application online at: http://www.thepetrescuecenter.org/adoptapet.html. Completed applications can be faxed to (949) 743-5878 or emailed to: email@example.com
Our adoption fee is $300 for dogs and $150 for cats, and includes spay/neuter, microchip, flea treatment, deworming, regular veterinary check-ups, and current vaccinations. This fee helps to defray the costs of medical care, supplies and boarding while the animals are in our care.
The Pet Rescue Center is a 501c3 non-profit organization that seeks to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome pets from high kill shelters and is temporarily housed inside the Alicia Pet Care Center at 25800 Jeronimo Rd. Suite 100, Mission Viejo, CA 92691.
Other Pets at The Pet Rescue Center
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Darby, a Mission Viejo Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Mission Viejo, or seeking a Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog from a breeder in Mission Viejo.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mission Viejo already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Mission Viejo breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup)/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mission Viejo paves the way for another one to be saved.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Martin, Conrad URN etd-11292010-134903 Document Title Identity - Orientation - Interface. The adaptive re-use of the NZASM Building in Pretoria, South Africa. Working towards an architecture which aids the orientation of the user and serves to further define the identity of the city Degree MArch(Prof) Department Architecture Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Mr N Clarke Committee Chair Keywords
- adaptive re-use
- future proofing
- environmental design
- urban architecture
- Pretoria
- sustainability
- how buildings learn
Date 2010-11-24 Availability unrestricted Abstract This thesis seeks to explore the potential of existing built fabric to change in order to meet the needs of its users. Central to this is the realisation that cities are highly dynamic environments. Momentarily appropriate, static solutions are not acceptable.This means not only adapting an existing building to fit a particular need at a particular time, but to ensure that it lends itself to future change.The building chosen for this study is the NZASM building, currently owned by Transnet, on the corner of Paul Kruger and Minnaar Streets. It was completed in 1963 on the property of the old NZASM headquarters and now serves mainly to house offices for Transnet. The building was between sixty and seventy percent occupied at the time of writing this thesis.
The client is a fictional coalition of NGOs. The desired program is what will be referred to as an NGO Hub. The NGO Hub is a shared office and public interface facility. The intent is that these NGOs share resources and act within their specialties to support one another on collaborative projects. They must also be free to pursue their own projects and retain individual identity.
At the same time, members of the public have a central location to visit where they can find information and the NGO best capable of serving their needs. This will lead to a far more efficient operational model for these organisations.
The thesis also assumes that a scheme by Mary-Anne Da Costa, Surfaces and Services - A Public Space for Communication, Information + Discussion (2007), for Pretorius Square is feasible and that the two projects will occur simultaneously.
The programmatic aim is to create a true civic square in Pretoria that will also serve as an example to other cities.
This thesis will also work towards generating and reinforcing identity within the city. The reason for doing so is that we orientate ourselves by our environment. The clearer our idea of what a building/district/city is, the clearer our perception of what our relationship to it is and the better oriented we feel.

I wanted to know where John Kerry ate when he was in town last week, holed up at the Inverness Hotel to get ready for his next debate. But oddly, Kerry's press people never got back to me with details of their candidate's habits. What, like they had something more important to do?
And while it may not be borne out by his name, his past or his checkbook, George Bush fashions himself an ordinary man -- a plain-speakin', straight-shootin' Joe out of West Texas, the kinda guy you want to watch the Sunday NASCAR wrap-up with, then maybe share a pitcher of sweet tea and ribs out on the screen porch. He wants you, the voter, to see that every plank in his platform is stained deeply blue from his collar. And sure, the shirt is borrowed (or possibly just bought cheap off the back of some poor shlub who needed the cash after having his job outsourced to Mexico), and the whole sales pitch is the worst kind of political bait-and-switch, because common is the last thing this nepotistic, Yale-bred fortunate son actually is. But none of that matters. Because eating is the most heartfelt expression of one's most personal self, I have to believe there's some truth to the just-folks image. He's not trying to fool anyone with what he has for dinner while he's flitting around in Air Force One. He's not stumping when he's in his hotel room dripping plum sauce on his pants and fumbling with the chopsticks. He is, in those moments, likely more truly himself than at any other time -- and what he is, is common.
Of course, I've never been terribly fond of the common man. Personally, I prefer the extraordinary man and will be taking my preferences with me to the ballot box next month. I'll be casting a write-in vote for Gaius Caligula. Now, there's a guy who knew how to eat.

Pretty boy floored: While I'm still on the national beat, let me share the news that uber-chef Rocco DiSpirito got banned by court order from ever setting foot in Rocco's on 22nd, the New York City restaurant that he founded, opened, then ran into the ground in front of millions of viewers during the run of The Restaurant, his quote-unquote reality TV show. His partner, Jeffrey Chodorow, has sued DiSpirito, claiming that he mismanaged the eatery -- because it's tough for anyone to run a restaurant with his tongue in the mouths of nineteen-year-old chef groupies.
Recently, DiSpirito was canned from his post as executive chef at Union Pacific in Gramercy Park -- his show-pony house and the kitchen where his cooking first brought him national attention. UP itself will close at the end of the year. So DiSpirito is now entirely without a house of his own. He's done, yesterday' s news and -- as I have always maintained -- still a friggin' embarrassment to working chefs everywhere.
Anyway, Rocco, you know that feeling you got in your chest after seeing your troubles splashed all over the TV Guide and the New York Times? They call that poetic justice. Hurts like a bitch, don't it?
Leftovers: The current Gourmet magazine has four -- count 'em, four -- bumps for local establishments in its annual "Where to Eat Right Now" restaurant guide for the editors' thirty favorite cities. Of course, we're sharing ink and space with places like Dallas, Baltimore and Chicago -- cities whose restaurant scenes are no match for Denver, recession or no -- but still, press is press, and three of the four picks are solid.
Brasserie Rouge stunned whatever anonymous editor was in charge of this section with John Broening's wonderful French brasserie cuisine in a region better known for fat steaks, microbrews and Rocky Mountain oysters. M&D's Cafe (2000 East 28th Avenue), which is now open for Saturday brunch, makes the list with its barbecued ribs and peach cobbler (not the first time either have been mentioned outside of Denver, mind you). JJ was a great choice for Gourmet -- and for anyone looking for truly authentic Chinese fare -- because it's tucked away in a solidly ethnic neighborhood and just not the kind of place you'd expect the national press to find. The eponymous JJ was formerly in charge of the kitchen at Ocean City, and he's brought everything that was great about that restaurant to this one just a couple of doors away. The Kitchen over in Boulder (1039 Pearl Street) rounds out this gang of four, and while I didn't love the joint when I recently reviewed it ("Boulder Blahs," July 15), I also have a bone to pick with Gourmet's writer, since the blurb reads like it was taken off the Kitchen's website -- complete with the owners' commitment to local product, their wind-powered kitchen and bio-diesel fryer oil. Nowhere was there anything specific about the food -- but that may have been a mercy. And finally, in the same issue, Gourmet gives the nod to Gold Hill Inn, in the old mining town of the same name, for its sour-cream apple pie.

Bringing magic and steel back to Warcraft {WoW}
Mar 12th 2008 4:55PM I like the non-standard stuff. There is more than enough boring fantasy stuff out there and anything that makes the genre more interesting is more than welcome. I have played way too many games with friendly elves and evil orcs to be thrilled by all those Tolkien rip-offs.

Thought I'd try this product as a way of increasing my carb intake. On its own with water or milk is drinkable but tastes like flour so I mix it with some flavoured protein and instant oats to make a nice post workout shake or meal replacement. Also quite nice as an alternative for flour when making pancakes, just mix the Barley with some oats, milk and eggs.
"It's hard to beat for it's nutrient and fibre content and being low GI as well it's ideal for a breakfast shake. It's a bit gritty though and doesn't really dissolve as such, it just seems to get held in suspension temporarily! If you're having this in a shake, don't pour it into a glass after mixing in the shaker otherwise you'll have an inch of silt to fight through at the bottom of the glass. Instead drink it straight from the shaker (leave the wire ball in) and give it a swill round after every couple of mouthfulls. It is expensive compared to oats but given the far superior nutrient profile of this and it's ultra low GI it's not really a fair comparision. If you're just having one scoop a day it lasts so long that the cost isn't that noticable."
This is a great carb source if you want complex. The taste is nice and mixes well the only thing to let it down is its gritty texture.
got my activated barley this morning and used it in a shake with milk and chocolate whey80. It has minimal taste and smell with a floury consistency. I mixed it with a hand blender and the shake had a slight 'gritty' feel but was fine no lumps just tiny pieces. Mixed this way it tasted similar to instant mass by reflex. So my verdict is it was a very good alround product and i would definately recommend it to others! \r\n

Argentina: Argentina is set to experience unprecedented growth in the energy and agribusiness sectors. The financial equation in Argentina could change due to potential funding needs from the public sector. However, some institutional changes and increasing disputes between the government and the business sector could derail the Argentine state of economy and investments in the short term.
Brazil: Brazil's economy is growing steadily with activities in the energy sectors, and surge in mergers and acquisitions. Being the largest economy in the region, investments are picking up, and the oil and gas sectors are expected to be the largest beneficiaries. However, much of the economic development is subject to approval of some key bills in the Senate.
Chile: Chile's economy has remained quite stable despite the recession. The economy is set for a boost in 2010 with growth in renewable energy opportunities.

When we remodeled our kitchen (completed 3 years ago) I found a great deal on a Kitchen Aid 36" SS Cooktop (KGCS166GSS) & could not resist buying it. I later read that KA recommended NOT canning on it since long, high temperature cook times would cause the SS to discolor. There seemed to be no way to remove the discoloration. Since I do not can I felt I was safe & stuck with my decision. Unfortunately after using the cooktop for several months I found that since I did use the higt BTU boiling burner a lot my SS was becoming discolored. When I read the manual KA was recommending "moving pots from burner to burner" when cooking for longer periods. Once I began moving the pots around the cooktop was beginning to look crummy & my normal cleaning was not taking care of it. I have discovered Penny Brite! -- apparently a copper cookware cleaner. A newspaper reader in Atlanta asked where we might purchase it since Wolff had recommended it to clean her SS gas cooktop. I bought & feel like I have experienced a miracle. The paste recommends rubbing in circles, but with SS I rubbed with the grain. My cooktop looks like new! In Atlanta it can be found at the Cooks Warehouse locations around town (4) for $4.99. I thought I might purchase on-line, but discovered the cost tends to be $6.50+ with an equal amount of shipping. I wanted to share since there had been some discussions at the time I purchased. I was unable to find those threads. I will also cross-post on the Cleaning thread. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Thanks for posting this. I will be getting my SS cooktop installed in a couple weeks, and I've been worried about cleaning it. I would like to add that I found the "Wolf Cleaning Reference Sheet" online, and it states to use Penny Brite ONLY to remove burn marks or heat stains. I wonder why they recommend Penny Brite, rather than another product by the same company that's designed specifically for SS---it must do better on the heat stains. Now I'll have to see if I can find it anywhere around here Now I'll add a question to this thread: Is there anything special about the SS on the Wolf range that would mean their cleaning recommendations wouldn't extend to other SS cooktops? I know there are many different kinds of SS used, but I presume it would be okay to try out the products they recommend for cleaning SS on my cooktop (not a Wolf).. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Wolf Cleaning Reference Sheet
Thanks so much sail-away for taking the time to check the Wolf recommendation for staining & cleaning. I proceeded cautiously with the Penny Brite to make sure I wasn't headed down the wrong path & then kept my fingers crossed as I continued. LOL I'm also interested if other stainless gas ranges or cooktops have similar issues over time. The cooking store where I purchased the Penny Brite seemed to think the 3 years of usage was a short period of time to experience the discoloration on a cooktop. Of course, it seems for this model there is a known issue. My memory from the applicance manual the cleaning recommendations are fairly innocuous & mostly useless -- vinegar to clean water spots, wipe with a soapy cloth. I mostly use the soapy cloth/sponge & a Windex or Pledge multi-surface wipe, then at times finish with a SS wipe. You shouldn't have a problem for a while. I'm so relieved to find the Penney Brite. I hope all will be well with using it. It looked so bad I was willing to take the risk. It has been about a month since I cleaned the cooktop & the stains haven't returned. Hopefully I'll only need to use it once or twice a year . . . |
Good to hear your experiences and what you've found useful. I'm most afraid of scratching the SS when trying to clean burned on food stains. Actually, this is my first time with SS appliances so I am afraid of everything---heat stains, water marks, finger prints, etc. |

"We are adding the protein for them to address their eating occasions on the go," Mark Campion, Taylor Farms Retail president, said in a news release.
Irwindale, Calif.-based Ready Pac Foods Inc. dominates single-serve salads with more than an 85% share of sales, according to Nielsen Perishables Group total U.S. food data. The shipper's Bistro Bowl sales are up 20% for the year. The line has expanded with a new product, baby kale-turkey Bistro Bowl.
Is kale the new bacon?
The rollout of new kale mixes isn't limited to the Taylor Farms and Ready Pac single-serve products or the new Taylor Farms chopped kit.
Ready Pac has also added a Baby Kale Blend with baby spinach, baby arugula and chard.
"Super greens like spinach remain popular as well, particularly within organic varieties," said Tristan Simpson, Ready Pac senior director of marketing and corporate communications.
Kale is in four of the five new Dole chopped kits and blends. Fresh Express has started offering Baby Kale Mix in a 5-ounce bag with chard and spinach.
San Juan Bautista, Calif.-based Earthbound Farm reports continued success for its organic kale blends.
"The kale trend definitely continues," said Samantha Cabaluna, vice president for communications and marketing at Earthbound Farm. "We say, 'kale is the new bacon.' Because it's a nutrient-dense superstar. Now food celebrities have shown people how to prepare it so that it's delicious, as opposed to just steamed or boiled or however people were eating it in the past."
Of the 10 highest sales kale stock-keeping units, mixes contributed 51% more to the rise in sales than cooking greens last year, according to Fresh Express.
As the health benefits of greens gained wider publicity, the whole category rose in 2012, up 31.3% in sales compared to 6.5% the prior year. Kale led the charge — up 151.5% compared to 55.5%.

Should I double up my single pane glass windows when I
build my greenhouse,will it affect the amount and quality of sunlight .Just a rookie Thank you in advance |
Follow-Up Postings:
you dont need to and it doesnt effect the light. |
It won't affect the light, but, in your Zone, you need as much insulating effect as possible. So something beyond single pane is prudent. Are you actually using glass, or would you consider something like twin wall or triple wall plastic? And when you say "double up" the glass, do you mean laying two panes on top of one another without an air space? |
yes I am using glass which has a very thin and narrow aluminium frame and I would like to somehow be able to use two panes one on each side of 4 by 4 cedar frame. Thanks again |
kavik- Having an air space, as it sounds like you are going to do, is important. However, just be aware that you will likely get some condensation between the two panes of glass, and over time you could have mold or other microscopic plant growth between the panes and hazing up the view. For that reason, if you can figure out a way to easily de-mount one set of panes for cleaning, it might be a good thing. |
Thank you kudzu9, I think I will only put one pane as I did not consider the issues you brought up. |
kavik- I didn't mean to discourage you, but I did want you to be aware of potential problems over the long term with what you were describing. In your Zone -- if you are going to try to use the greenhouse for any purpose during winter -- some improvement over single pane glazing is prudent, especially if you are providing supplementary heat. Some people use a solar pool cover as a relatively inexpensive and temporary way to provide improved insulation in winter. What are your plans for this greenhouse? |
kudzu9 I plan on trying to get 2 to 3 months extra growing time to grow flowers for outside,vegetables suitable for freezing which grow well in greenhouses. I apreciate your help since I am new at this. Thanks Again |

Gallstones: About Gallstones
Gallstones form when cholesterol or bile, which is stored in the gallbladder, hardens into pieces of stone-like material. Gallstones are made of about 75% cholesterol salts. The remaining 25% is made up of bilirubin salts, a bile pigment and calcium carbonate. Gallstones can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball. The gallbladder can develop just one large stone, hundreds of tiny stones, or almost any combination.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Gallstones can block the normal flow of bile if they lodge in any of the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the small intestine. Bile trapped in these ducts can cause inflammation in the gallbladder, the ducts, or, rarely, the liver.
Gallstones can cause several related problems including:
- Gallstone pancreatitis—A gallstone blocks the opening to the pancreatic duct, and digestive enzymes become trapped in the pancreas causing extremely painful inflammation
- Biliary colic—Pain caused by a gallstone stuck in the bile duct, a tube that carries bile to the small intestine
- Cholecystitis—A stone caught in the bile duct causing inflammation of the gallbladder
- Cholangitis—An infection of the bile ducts
- Gallstone ileus—The gallbladder attaches to the small intestine, creating an abnormal opening through which the stone can travel and cause an obstruction of the small bowel
Gallstones are a common medical problem. About 10% to 15% of the adult population of the United States has gallstones. However, about 80% of people who have gallstones have no symptoms. This condition is referred to as silent gallstones and usually does not require treatment.

Health Care
As the current administration prepares to implement ObamaCare, Senator Blunt has strong concerns about the impact of this massive and costly government takeover. He has supported efforts to repeal ObamaCare and replace it with policies that make quality health care more affordable and accessible for all Americans, while upholding our traditions of choice and privacy.
One of the many common-sense reforms Senator Blunt supports is medical liability reform. To help address this issue, Senator Blunt introduced the "Help Efficient, Accessible, Low-cost, Timely Healthcare" (HEALTH) Act, which would reduce health care costs by discouraging junk lawsuits. According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), instituting the types of reforms in this bill could save taxpayers $54 billion over 10 years.
Senator Blunt supported legislation to repeal the costly "1099" mandate created by ObamaCare, which would have imposed onerous reporting requirements on approximately 40 million job creators nationwide. He also joined 42 of his colleagues to cosponsor a bipartisan bill to repeal the CLASS Act, an unfunded entitlement program for long-term care that was criticized by members both sides of the aisle and would have added to our growing budget deficit. In 2011, the Obama Administration announced that the CLASS Act would not be implemented because it is unworkable, and the CLASS Act was formally repealed in January 2013.
Senator Blunt also believes that Congress must find ways to spend federal dollars more wisely when it comes to identifying and treating people who are mentally ill. He's a co-sponsor of several bipartisan bills, including the "Excellence in Mental Health Act," which addresses our nation's fragmented mental health system by offering current Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs) a chance to obtain the Federally Qualified Community Behavioral Health Center (FQCBHC) designation.
Senator Blunt is a co-sponsor of the "Mental Health First Aid Act of 2013," which authorizes the launch of a demonstration program to support mental health first aid trainings nationwide in order to help individuals to identify, understand, and respond to the signs of mental illnesses and addiction disorders. In addition, Senator Blunt is a co-sponsor of the "Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Act," which improves access to mental health services for people in the criminal justice system who need treatment and gives law enforcement officers the tools they need to identify and respond to mental health issues.
Senator Blunt is the co-founder of the Senate Community Health Center Caucus, and he serves as the Honorary Co-Chair of the nonpartisan Alliance for Health Reform. He understands that we must fix our nation's health care system, but President Obama's one-size-fits-all government takeover is simply not the right answer.

Arthur Treacher's has been around since the late 60's featuring their famous Fish & Chips. If you go to Arthur Treacher's today, they'll have what you expect, but also something you might be surprised to find. Now, even better, Arthur Treacher's and Frankie's Main Street have joined menus locally to bring you the best of both worlds: The Original Fish & Chips from England, and BBQ from the United States. Frankies was a well known eatery in Hubbard for many years until recently having to close due to a fire. asme b31.8 If you're like me, you know Arthur Treacher's is famous for their original Fish & Chips, but did you know they also have chicken and shrimp hand dipped in that same secret batter then fried to a golden crunch. A handful of British chips, a couple hush puppies on the side and you'll enjoy a meal that you just can't get anywhere else. If you're not sure if you want fish or chicken, go for the combination plate. One piece of fish and one piece of chicken, both hand-dipped in that trademark batter, then fried to a golden crunch. Served with chips and hush puppies, it's the same great meal I remember having as a kid. Try it the British way with a sprinkle of malt vinegar, it's delicious. With the addition of the menu from Frankie's Main Street, you now have a little something of everything from both sides of the world. Frankie's Main Street barbecue is not something you would expect to find at Arthur Treacher's, but once you try it, you'll be glad it's there. Ribs, chicken, pulled pork all smothered in Frankie's barbecue sauce. The thick sauce brings just the right amount of smoke and heat to the most tender ribs, juiciest chicken and delicious pulled pork. For a variation on the British chips, order a side of Frankie's chips. Potatoes sliced paper thin, deep-fried and served with a side of Ranch. It's the perfect side or the perfect snack. If you're trying to watch your figure, try one of the grilled options. Shrimp and fish can be ordered with a lemon pepper or Cajun seasoning. I tried both and I love the Cajun fish. Full of flavor, this light flaky fish is served on a bed of rice pilaf making it a delicious lighter selection. If you prefer a different side, you can also get mixed vegetables or a baked potato. There's one thing that has always been on the menu that I have never tried, until now. The Lemon Luv pie. The box warns you that it's hot but I couldn't wait to take a bite. What can I say? Yummy, yummy, yummy. I'm in love with the luv! The creamy, lemony filling surrounded by a light crispy crust. It'so good you'll have to get a couple to go. Which I did. If you're looking for a place to eat, want something different, and tired of fast food. Make Arthur Treacher's/Frankie's Main Street your destination. You'll get the best of both worlds.

Jungfraujoch - the top of Europe
The Jungfrau Region south of Interlaken is perhaps the most dramatic and memorable mountain scenery in Switzerland, due to the quantity and sheer scale of the three giant peaks – the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau – rising side by side to 4000m. The Jungfrau is the highest at 4148m and the mountain trains culminate at the Jungfraujoch, just below the peak, at the highest train station in Europe.
