Hey, Let's put them on every school!
A two-alarm fire burns the roof of Webster Groves High School on Saturday, May 18, 2013. (StL Today)
When Webster Groves High School purchased solar panels to put on the roof of the school, no one told them they could catch on fire!
The fire department was called on Saturday to put out the flames. At least one classroom was severely damaged.
There will be school on Monday.
FOX 2 Now reported:
Plumes of black smoke could be seen coming from the roof at Webster Groves High School Saturday. Firefighters say solar panels caught fire around 2:00pm. Nearby residents noticed the smoke and called the fire department.
The panels are above the new science wing.
The school has a little water damage to a classroom ceiling and hallway, but a clean-up crew will have the building ready for school on Monday.

[ 19th Century U.S. regional maps ]
[ Locations | Map themes & related | Cartographers ]
"United States." From Family Cabinet Atlas. Philadelphia: Carey & Lea, 1832. 3 1/2 x 5 1/2. Engraving by J.H. Young. Original hand color. Very good condition. Denver.
In 1831, Thomas Starling issued his Family Cabinet Atlas in 12mo format, each small map filled with precise detail. A year later, the Philadelphia firm of Henry Charles Carey and Isaac Lea issued their version of this atlas, "Revised, Corrected and Enlarged." Many of the maps were based on the British atlas, but with the plates re-engraved, but some like this of the United States are new. The map shows the country with 24 states and six territories, including a very large Missouri Territory and a Western Territory extending into today's Canada. The hand color and small size makes these maps as charming as they are interesting. $125
Thomas G. Bradford. "United States Exhibiting The Railroads & Canals." From A Comprehensive Atlas. Boston: Wm. B. Ticknor, 1835. 7 3/8 x 9 5/8. Engraving. Original outline color. Very good condition.
An interesting map of the United States featuring the early development of the canal and rail system. The map extends from the southern half of New Hampshire to the mouth of the Mississippi River, with information on the states, territories, rivers and major towns there within. On the map Bradford has indicated canals and railroads "Chartered," "Making" and "Finished," though he notes that the railroad from Plattsburg to Ogdensburg is omitted. Thus this map provides a snapshot of these two important modes of transportation at a very early state in the development of the national network. $150
Thomas G. Bradford. "United States." From Illustrated Atlas. Boston: T.G. Bradford, 1838. 14 1/4 x 22 7/8. Engraving. Original hand color. Some paper toning. Light wrinkles around old repair to bottom of centerfold. Otherwise, very good condition. Denver.
An excellent map of the United States by Boston cartographer, Thomas G. Bradford. The country is shown stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Today's U.S. southwest is depicted as part of Mexico, which it was to remain until the Mexican-American War later this decade. Texas, the core of the conflict between the two countries, is boldly identified for at this time it was an independent republic, having been established as such in 1836. Detail in the map is very good, with rivers and settlements indicated throughout. In the west some idea of the mountain ranges is shown, though quite confused, and the ranges of the different Indian tribes indicated. Three states are shown west of the Mississippi, including the newly (1836) admitted Arkansas. The rest of the original lands of the Louisiana Purchase are divided into four territories, Oregon, Iowa, Indian, and an unlabeled territory with a large "Great Desert" indicated in it. $650
John Lothian. "United States." From New Edinburgh General Atlas. Edinburgh: J. Gellatly & London: Henry Washbourne, ca. 1840. 10 1/2 x 13 1/4. Engraving. Original hand color. Paper somewhat toned. Very good condition.
An interesting map of the United States issued sometime around 1840. Gellatly and Washbourne jointly published the New Edinburgh General Atlas, with the 1843 and '46 editions containing a modified map of the United States. In this map, Michigan Territory is shown before statehood and before the acquisition of the upper peninsula, which happened in 1836, though it is unlikely this map is so early. The corner of Texas is here shown still as "Mexico," and in northern Maine is text indicating "Disputed Territory." Detail is impressive, with rivers and settlements shown throughout, and Indian tribes noted throughout the mid-west and south. A rare and attractive picture of the country prior to mid-century. $475
Henry S. Tanner. "United States." From New Universal Atlas. Philadelphia: Carey & Hart, 1842/43. 14 7/8 x 11 7/8. Engraving. Full original hand coloring. A few small spots. Very good condition.
An excellent map of the United States by the great American cartographer, Henry Schenck Tanner. In 1816, Henry, his brother Benjamin, John Vallance and Francis Kearny formed an engraving firm in Philadelphia. Having had experience at map engraving through his work with John Melish, Tanner conceived of the idea of compiling and publishing an American Atlas, which was begun in 1819 by Tanner, Vallance, Kearny & Co.. Soon Tanner took over the project on his own, and thus began his career as cartographic publisher. The American Atlas was a huge success, and this inspired Tanner to produce his Universal Atlas, of more manageable size. This atlas contained excellent maps of all parts of the world. All details are clearly presented, and these include towns, rivers, mountains, and political boundaries. In this map, Tanner shows the United States as it appeared just before the middle of the nineteenth century. This was a period of great development and change and Tanner's map illustrates this nicely. In 1842/43, Carey & Hart came out with an updated issue of the Tanner atlas which contained this fine map showing the political information of the newly formed states and territories to the east and just across the Mississippi, including an interesting depiction of the Wisconsin Territory (1836-48) and the eastern part of the Iowa Territory. Tanner also provides fascinating details of the transportation networks, with indicates of roads, railroads and canals. One of the best maps of the United States from the period. $350
Henry S. Tanner. "United States." From New Universal Atlas. Philadelphia: Carey & Hart, 1844. 14 7/8 x 11 7/8. Engraving. Full original hand coloring. Very good condition.
In 1844 Carey & Hart reissued the Tanner Universal Atlas with maps somewhat updated. In the map of the United States, the publishers emphasized the canals and railroads, highlighting them with hand color. $375
Carl Flemming. "Vereinigte Staaten von Nordamerika." Glogau, Germany: C. Flemming, ca. 1846. Four sheets joined to: 20 1/4 x 27 1/4. Lithograph by Handtke. Original outline color. Very good condition. Denver.
Carl Flemming ran an important German publishing house in Glogau and Berlin in the middle of the nineteenth century, issuing atlases and maps like this one. The Germans were very interested in America at this period, with large numbers having emigrated to Texas in the 1840s, and more taking advantage of the opportunities of land and employment by coming to the mid-west and into the west. This map includes great detail of rivers, towns, railroads and canals, all presented with typical German precision and clarity.
The states and territories of the United States are named in a numbered key in the lower left. Of note is that Texas (shown with its pre-1850 borders) is listed as a state and the Oregon Territory border is shown as settled, while Alta California and New Mexico are still shown as part of Mexico, giving an approximate date of 1846 for this map. The trans-Mississippi West is interestingly depicted on the map. Rivers and mountains are shown with impressive detail-some of it accurate and other inaccurate. For instance, in the Great Basin a pair of lakes are shown emptying into rivers (the "Timpanagos" and "Buenaventura") which flow all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Indian tribes are noted throughout and forts, such as Mandan, Union, Laramie, Vrains and Bent's, are indicated. With the German interest in Texas, many communities are shown there. Overall, an impressive depiction of the United States just before mid-century. $950
Thunot Duvotenay. "États-Unis & Méxique." Paris: T. Duvotenay, ca. 1848. 13 x 16 3/4. Engraving by S. Jacobs. Original outline color. Very good condition. Denver.
An uncommon map of the United States issued in, or shortly after, and wonderfully illustrating a seminal year in the country's history, 1848. In January of that year, gold was discovered in California, and this is indicated on the map by a boomerang-shaped, gold-colored "Region de l'Or." Just a month later, on February 2nd, the treaty of Guadalope Hidalgo was signed, giving the United States upper-California and New Mexico, indicated on this map above a dotted "Limites des Etats-Unis." Just to the north of "Californie" is the "District de l'Oregon;" which was actually created as a territory just in 1848, after the border dispute with the United Kingdom was settled in 1846.
The map is quite up-to-date in these western parts, but the east is less so, for neither the Wisconsin Territory (created in 1836) nor the Iowa Territory (created in 1838) are shown. What is particularly interesting, however, is the depiction of four Indian districts, each indicated with a different color. The Indian Intercourse Act of 1834 set aside all of the original Louisiana purchase, outside of Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri, as land for the Native Americans. It is those lands which are indicated as being the Districts of the Mandans, Sioux, Osages,and Ozark, though other Indian tribes are noted. Other interesting features are noted in the west, including the "Grand Désert Américain" or the "Immenses Plaines Sablonneuses." The lovely hand color is nicely complemented by the decorative border. Overall, a fine map from the middle of the nineteenth century. $475
After H.S. Tanner. "United States." From A New Universal Atlas. Philadelphia: S. Augustus Mitchell, 1849. 15 7/8 x 12 1/2. Lithographic transfer from engraved plate. Full original hand color. Time toned. Very good condition.
A fine map of United States from the mid-nineteenth century, showing the country at an interesting period in its history. The map is filled with myriad topographical details, including rivers, towns, lakes, and mountains. Also shown with considerable detail are the political divisions of the states and territories, each colored with a contrasting shade. Of particular note is the depiction of the transportation nexus in the country, including roads, railroads and canals. This was a time of great expansion in the U.S. and this development was very dependent on this nascent infrastructure. This map is a updated version by S. Augustus Mitchell of an earlier map by H.S. Tanner. It is a fine example of American cartography near mid-century and a fascinating and decorative historical artifact. $275
"Verein-Staaten von Nord-America." Hildburghausen, Germany: Bibliograph Institus in Hildburghausen, ca. 1850. 3 1/2 x 5 5/8. Engraving. Original hand color. Very good condition.
A detailed small engraving showing the United States about 1850, issued by the 'Bibliographic Institution of Hildburghausen.' This firm issued many steel engraved views of all parts of the world and also, around the middle of the nineteenth century, an atlas with detailed and up-to-date maps. Each state and territory is indicated, with a very interesting depiction for the trans-Mississippi region. The states, 33 of them, are listed at right. $125
Carl Radefeld. "Geognostische Karte der Nord-Americanischen Freistaaten. 1853." Hildburghhausen: Bibliographischen Instituts, 1853. 11 1/2 x 13 7/8. Engraving. Original hand color. very good condition. Denver.
A brightly colored geognostic map of the "North American Free States" issued within a couple years of the Compromise of 1850 which created the state of California and the territories of Utah and New Mexico. The political divisions of the trans-Mississippi region are correct, and there is impressive detail of rivers and many western Indian tribes. There are errors, of course (such as the "Great Sandy Plains" in the Great Basin), but very up-to-date for a European map in this period. The geological features are fascinating and includes the "gold region" in California. Attractive, impressively accurate, this is a nice map of the "Free States." $275
Carl Flemming. "Vereinigte Staaten von Nordamerika." Germany: C. Flemming, 1853. Folding map, dissected into 24 sections, mounted on linen, and housed in clamshell box. 20 5/8 x 28. Lithography by Handtke. Original outline color. A very little light spotting in lower left margin. Otherwise excellent condition. Denver.
Carl Flemming ran an important German publishing house in Glogau and Berlin in the middle of the nineteenth century, issuing atlases and separately issued maps like this one. The Germans were very interested in American at this period, with large numbers having emigrated to Texas in the 1840s, and more taking advantage of the opportunities of land and employment by coming to the mid-west and into the west. This map includes great detail of rivers, towns, railroads and canals, all engraved with typical German precision and clarity. The map is particularly interesting for its depiction of the trans-Mississippi region. Shown are large territories for Oregon, New Mexico, Utah, Missouri, "Minisotah," and a large Indian Territory. A fine European map of the U.S. at mid-century. $950
Carl Flemming. "Vereinigte Staaten von Nordamerika." Germany: C. Flemming, 1853. 20 5/8 x 28. Lithography by Handtke. Original outline color. Very good condition. Denver.
Another example of Flemming's map of the United States, this example issued in an atlas. $850
"The United States of America." New York: J.H. Colton, 1855. 15 1/2 x 26. Lithograph. Original hand color. Full margins. Spot below title. Old creases. Otherwise, very good condition.
An excellent, detailed map of the United States showing the nation's political configuration just after the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska act of 1854. The former act established California as a state and set up the Utah and New Mexico territories between the new state and the Rocky mountains. The latter act broke up the old Missouri Territory and Indian Territories to create the Kansas Territory, running from Missouri to the Utah Territory, and the Nebraska Territory from Kansas to the Canadian border. The Colton firm kept their maps very up-to-date, so this map shows this situation clearly and with good detail. Besides the usual rivers, settlements, forts and such, this map also shows both the "Oregon Route" and the "Santa Fe Route," as well as the proposed routes for the planned trans-continental railroad. A fine map from one of the top American map publishing firms of the mid-nineteenth century. $350
J.H. Young. "A New Map of The United States of America." Philadelphia: Charles Desilver, 1856. 16 x 26 1/2. Lithograph. Original hand color. Repaired separation and small stains at lower centerfold. Else, very good condition. Denver.
An fine, detailed map of the United States showing the nation's political configuration just after the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska act of 1854. The former act established California as a state and set up the Utah and New Mexico territories between the new state and the Rocky mountains. The latter act broke up the old Missouri Territory and Indian Territories to create the Kansas Territory, running from Missouri to the Utah Territory, and the Nebraska Territory from Kansas to the Canadian border. This particular map is from a rare atlas issued by Charles Desilver in 1856. It is very up-to-date and shows the country with impressively detailed and clear detail. Besides the usual rivers, settlements, forts and such, this map also shows the "Oregon Route," the "Santa Fe Route," as well as other western trails. This map was issued at the time the nation was focusing on building a trans-continental railroad and the map has text about this project along with indications of some of the proposed routes. The map includes two insets: one showing the District of Columbia and the other the Gold Region of California. A terrific cartographic picture of the United States at the beginning of its growth into the west and on the eve of the Civil War. $425
Louis Dussieux. "Carte des Etat-Unis." Paris: L. Dussieux, 1856. Lithograph. Original outline color. 11 x 15 1/4. Very good condition. Denver.
A quite unusual map of the United States showing the country's political divisions just after the Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854), though with one interesting error! With that act, the lands north of the 37th parallel, between the continental divide and Missouri and the Missouri River, were divided into two territories, Kansas and Nebraska. Up to this time that region had been part of the Indian Territories, which after the act were left consisting of only what later became the state of Oklahoma. What Dussieux has done on this map, however, is to give Kansas all the lands in the Indian Territory south of Nebraska, thus making what is now Oklahoma part of Kansas! This was never the case, but the Act of 1854 confused many Americans, so it is not surprising it also confused this French cartographer. Besides this interesting error, the borders in 1856 are accurate and, though somewhat spare, his topography is also correct. $225
G. Civelli. "Stati Uniti Dell' America Settentironale." Milan, ca. 1856. 11 3/4 x 15 1/4. Engraving by P. Bezzera. Original outline color. Some light spotting throughout. Else, very good condition. Denver.
Another unusual European mapping of the United States issued shortly after the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. The map is quite impressive in its depiction of the topography of the country, strongly shown with hatchuring. Much of this is correct, but Civelli tends to enlarge mountain chains and run them into each other. Of even more interest is the rendering of Texas, the Indian Territory and Kansas, where the Indian Territory is incorrectly enlarged with reference to both Texas (missing its panhandle) and Kansas (its southern border about a degree to far north). Given that the 19th century saw a continual shrinking in the size of the Indian Territory from its first creation in 1834, this is an interesting cartographic payback for all that reduction! $250

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Republican presidential candidates rattled sabers against Iran and
skewered President Barack Obama for being soft in his support for Israel
on Wednesday as they vied for the backing of Jewish Republicans. One by
one, the major contenders for the Republican nomination to face the
Democratic president in 2012 told the Republican Jewish Coalition they
would strengthen ties with Israel and not let Iran develop a nuclear
weapon. Candidates took time out from criss-crossing Iowa, New Hampshire
and other early voting states to seek Jewish support. Former Massachusetts
Governor Mitt Romney, a front-running candidate, said "covert and overt"
activities are needed to pressure Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions.
Tehran denies trying to build a nuclear bomb but most of the world is
suspicious. "Ultimately, regime change is what's going to be necessary,"
said Romney, who received a standing ovation from the several hundred
participants in the audience. Former U.S. ambassador to China Jon
Huntsman, who is trying to bite into Romney's lead in the key early state
of New Hampshire, was equally tough. "If you can't live with a nuclear
Iran, and I can't, then you have to say all options are on the table,"
said Huntsman. And former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, hoping to do
well in Iowa, said: "I'd like to think we had something to do with" a
recent explosion at a suspected Iranian missile site. 1967 BORDERS Jewish
Americans traditionally support Democratic candidates, but Republicans
hope to make headway in this critical voting bloc by targeting Obama's
policy of pressuring Israel to make key compromises in the decades-old
Middle East dispute with the Palestinians. Obama angered the Israelis last
May when he embraced a goal long sought by the Palestinians: that the
state they seek in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip should largely be
drawn along lines that existed before the 1967 war in which Israel
captured those territories and East Jerusalem. A theme throughout the
speeches was the Republican desire to strengthen the U.S. commitment to
Israel and ensure it remains a democratic bulwark in an unstable region
threatened by the possibility of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon. "I will
travel to Israel on my first foreign trip. I will reaffirm as a vital
national interest Israel's existence as a Jewish state. I want the world
to know that the bonds between Israel and the United States are
unshakable," Romney said.

Book synopsis
This book presents and evaluates the liturgical vision of Pope Benedict XVI and the theological background underlying that vision. It describes the main features of Joseph Ratzinger's theology of the liturgy and analyses them within the context of his theology as a whole. Ratzinger's evaluation of the contemporary Roman Catholic liturgy is explored in relation to his overall assessment of the post-Vatican II era in the Church, alongside an examination of his project of liturgical renewal ('reform of the reform') and its practical implementation during his pontificate. The author discusses the various critical voices which have been raised against the Pope's liturgical agenda and against certain aspects of his general theology. Overall, the book offers an assessment of the importance of Ratzinger's vision for the Church at the threshold of the third millennium.
Contents: Basic features of Joseph Ratzinger's theology of the liturgy – Ratzinger's assessment of the Roman Catholic liturgy after the Second Vatican Council – 'Reform of the reform': Ratzinger's project of liturgical renewal – Benedict XVI and the liturgy: implementation of Ratzinger's plan – Critical voices regarding Ratzinger/Benedict's liturgical vision and actions – Evaluation of Ratzinger/Benedict's liturgical vision and its importance for the Church at the threshold of the third millennium.

Sorry for the tardiness! I will do a full reveal when I get that last 5% done (the window treatment--sigh). |
Follow-Up Postings:
Woo! Those are really nifty lights! And look at the interesting ceiling pattern of swirls. Nice! |
Beautiful! |
Oooh, so pretty! I can't wait to see the final reveal! Did you decide on the plant wall? I read your post a few days ago and lost track.... |
- Posted by nycbluedevil (My Page) on Sat, Jan 26, 13 at 16:19
Thanks Marina. I am pretty sure I will do it. I think it will be fun and will add a bit of softness to the room. I am concentrating on trying to get my window treatment squared away now while packing for a long trip to Africa (business and pleasure), so the plant wall is going to have to wait for a few weeks! |

Oooh! I almost got those (or similar ones!) SO pretty : ) |
Wow!! Beautiful lights. |
NCYBD - Wow - I love those lights - I wish i had found them when I did my kitchen - I think it would have worked in my sun room! Thanks for sharing - and now you are keeping us in suspense again! I still have a few punch list items in the kitchen but have started to figure out the master bath - I am officially retired but planning some consulting opportunities to pay for little things like remodel and cars... |

Hey, everyone. So, today, I'm really excited to tell you about Seventeen's Pretty Amazing contest. And if you don't know what that is, it basically gives you the chance to be the October 2011 cover girl, and the recipient of a $10,000 scholarship. Plus the top five finalists will win a trip to New York City for a glamorous event-packed weekend. How fun is that? That is so exciting. Now, all you have to do to enter is go to seventeen.com/prettyamazing, and share your amazing story along with a photo. The contest ends on April 30th, and along the way, Seventeen will be promoting their favorites online, as well as on their Facebook page. So, to get that cover girl look at home, I'm going to be showing how to recreate the makeup that Nina Dobrev is wearing on the April 2010 issue. And this is what it looks like. As you can see, it's very fresh and natural. And I am a huge, huge, huge fan of the Vampire Diaries. I'm seriously like obsessed with the show. And I love Nina Dobrev and this fresh face look that she's sporting. So, I hope you guys enjoy this tutorial. And let's go ahead and jump and do it. Okay. So, I'm gonna start off by using a light brown eye liner on my lower lash line. And I'm just going to lightly line my lower lash line just to add a little bit more definition. Then, using a black eyeliner, I'm going to line the upper inner rim of my eye. Then, I'm going to take that same black eyeliner, and I'm going to line my upper lash line. And the line doesn't have to be perfect because we're going to be smudging it out. But you want a fairly thick black line. Now, using a Q-tip, I'm going to come in here and smudge out the line a little bit. And this is going to create a softer look. Then, using a flat shader brush, I'm just gonna add a little bit of shimmery eye shadow here on the inner corner, just to brighten up the eyes a bit. And I'm also going to add a little bit here on the brow bone. Now, I'm just gonna come in here and curl my eyelashes. And I'm going to coat my lashes with a volumizing mascara. And you wanna make sure you get your lower lashes, as well. For a rosy glow, I'm just gonna take a blush fresh and a peachy pink blush and apply it on the apples of my cheeks and gently work it up into my temples. And then, to top everything off, I'm going to be using a berry-colored lip gloss with a little bit of shimmer. And I'm just gonna sweep it across my lips. All righty. So, this is the finished look.

Priceline's Updated Hotel App Features William Shatner
Priceline's Updated App Has a Bit More Boom Boom Pow
Called Hotel Radar, it uses your iPhone 3GS's compass to locate deals around your current location. Just point your phone in any direction, and the app will sweep the area around you, finding available deals like active land mines. Touch the price, and you'll be provided with prices, ratings, reviews, and availability in no time flat. It's free, and I have to admit — besides being fun to play around with, the opening sequence with William Shatner is kind of awesome.

Pediatric Infectious Diseases Health Library
Fighting infectious diseases today is much easier than in the past. With proper hygiene and proper precautions, in addition to numerous vaccines and rapidly advancing medical technology, people are better equipped than ever to avoid getting sick.
Prevention is the key to fighting many infectious diseases. Part of preventing the spread of an infectious disease includes proper hand-washing techniques; taking certain precautions, depending on the disease; following the nationally recommended immunization schedule for children and adults, and taking medications correctly.
Even with proper prevention, sometimes a disease is unavoidable. Some reasons include evolution of drug-resistant strains of a disease; changes in a person's environment; increased travel; inappropriate use of prescription drugs; and lack of attention to proper personal hygiene.

Prevention of Infectious Disease
Prevention is the key to stopping the spread of many infectious diseases and sometimes can make the difference between life and death. Hand washing is the single most important means of preventing the spread of infection. Unfortunately, improper or infrequent hand washing continues to be a major factor in the spread of disease. Other important ways to prevent infection include following the appropriate immunization schedule and using precautions with pets.

At the wonderful memorial service for Skip Harvey this past Saturday, the attendees were given a four page memorial statement with some great photos and reminiscences about the high points of Skip's life. One of the things mentioned was how Skip was a driving force behind creating the Main Street Farmer's Market.
The High School Senior Breakfast and the awarding of thousands of dollars in scholarships has become a tradition that students, parents and the community look forward to every year. This year was no exception.
Disabled Sports of the Eastern Sierra recognized and awarded five graduating seniors on June 15th at Mammoth High School. As an afterthought as she was leaving the podium, Kathy Copeland gave a shout out to the gracious community members of Mammoth Lakes in attendance, asking for some help.
For the 52 years before he entered public life, people probably knew Skip Harvey as "that guy with the smile on his face."
"Here comes that guy with the smile on his face again," people would say, and we'd notice they walked with a little more bounce to their steps just for having him pass by.
Matthew Lehman got to know Skip on the night that guy with a smile on his face rode his motorcycle cross-country to a party. "What a cool guy," Lehman says he remembered thinking.
For three years the June Lake Loop Women's Club has organized prizes for the kids winners at the June Lake Triathlon. We would like to thank the generous people and businesses of June Lake for donating these prizes.
At the onset of this most difficult time for June Lake, these donors deserve a special recognition for stepping up and showing what June Lake is made of. Thank you for making this "Toughest Race in the Most Beautiful Place" a reality:
The Town of Mammoth Lakes lost a true and genuine public servant today.
Skip Harvey was candid, concerned and cared deeply for our Village in the trees.
Stress kills but Skip stayed the course and served our town as long as humanly possible. We miss you, Skip.
Sharon R. Clark Mammoth Lakes
Air service subsidies to major airlines may or may not be a reasonable and rational approach to air service. It remains, in my mind, an open book for discussion.
On July 11, there was a special meeting held in Suite Z to discuss options for the funding of air subsidy to Alaska Airlines. I stood up and openly challenged one of Mammoth's Supervisors, Mr. Byng Hunt, after his comments on the podium to our Town Council and the people of Mammoth.
I want to say that I am sorry to everyone in Mammoth and Mono County for not saying more! I am continually amazed by our elected officials in Bridgeport; did Mr. Hunt not learn from other supervisors that have recently been replaced? Does Mr. Hunt not realize that the economic engine begins in Mammoth?
The Town should ask Rusty Gregory to pay the judgment
These days, our national institutions are out of our control. We should at least be at peace with the idea that we control our local government. But when the record available to us shows our local government is no longer under our control, we are compelled to raise questions and address those individuals who have brought us to financial crisis. So, after a review of public records available to us, I would like to know "who is in charge at city hall" and has as anyone asked Gregory and/or Long to pay the judgment?
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the following businesses for their generosity and kindness in supporting the Forest Service Fire Safety Fun Festival at Fire Station 2 on July 4.
Thank you Vons for your cookies and icing donations. The kids enjoyed decorating them with a fire safety theme. Thank you McDonalds for providing punch to wash down those cookies!
The Mammoth Food & Wine Experience, that just concluded this past weekend, could not be accomplished without the assistance of a huge roster of volunteers. Most were local, some were visitors, some were students, some second-home owners and their families, but they all came together to make the event a success.
I want to thank all the people who participated in this year's Fourth of July parade and all the folks who helped put it on.
It takes a lot of people working together, communicating and cooperating to pull off this kind of event: the police, Cal Trans, CERT, the Fire Department.
So many people make this parade a success. In particular I'd like to thank Stuart Brown from the Town of Mammoth Lakes for all of his help with permitting and interagency coordination. Stu did a great job and made the process painless for everyone.
Was there ever a better week than this one? What a stew of stuff! If you could clip-and-save a week, this might be the one.
We're not really sure how to digest this multi-course meal. Set upon a mise en place of Mammoth's municipal bankruptcy, airport subsidies and the closure of June Mountain Ski Area, we might have thought this could have been a poisonous week.
But it wasn't. We had a fine time at our French, Eastside, multi-course feast.
We were outdoors Tuesday morning and found ourselves at the Hayden Cabin off Sherwin Creek Road.
It's a lovely spot early in the morning, with the brook babbling, the songbirds singing and trees sighing in a light breeze.
It was the day after the Town of Mammoth Lakes declared its intent to enter into bankruptcy to take care of the $43 million in legal debt it incurred during the expansion of the airport.
We wandered up to the flat where E Clampus Vitus had built a memorial to the first thriving business in old Mammoth City—a bar-grocery-hardware store called "The Temple of Folly."
From time to time, we use our idle moments around here for a little daydreaming. This week, it was all about business plans. Don't even ask how it started.
It's rough to make business plans in a town headed for bankruptcy, in a state that has no money, and a country with an economy as stable as an aspen log over a creek in May, but we soldiered on with a couple of nifty ideas:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank several members of our community for their generosity in donating time and products to our Curbside a Meal fundraiser benefitting Mammoth High School Football. Times are tough for businesses and individuals and despite the challenges, our community came together with donations and time commitments to make it happen. The following businesses helped to make the tri-tip dinner a success: Rafters, CJ's Grill, Grumpy's, Mammoth Mountain, Roberto's, Good Life Café, Toomey's, and John's Pizza.

I have a Craftsman 1/2 garage door opener that has been acting up the last few weeks. At first it would not go all the way down when trying to close on the first attempt. Eventually it would not move at all. After some research I discovered that the gear (white plastic) was worn down. I ordered a new kit and installed the new gear. After putting the opener back together, the opener would not work correctly. It would run a short time (2 seconds) then reverse to the beginning position. It would then click and the led light on the back would blink 5 times. I have read similar posts that say this is a sensor issue. I have taken everything back apart to recheck that I put everything back together properly. For the best that I can see I have put everything back in the correct position. I need help big time. I know this should be a pretty simple job, but for the life of me cannot figure this thing out. I want to try and save the bill from a repair man but if I cannot figure this thing out I may have to bite the bullet and make the call. ANY help will be much appreciated. |

Make sure you put the black cup back on the end of the motor shaft and that it is pressed all the way on. Make sure the RPM sensor is plugged in. If neither of these are the issue, then you probably did not have the motor shaft pushed all the way back when you tightened the coupler after replacing the worm gear. Loosen that coupler up and from the front of the motor (opposite end in which the coupler is on) push the shaft back as far as it will go. Hold it there while you tighten the coupler back up and then try it. |
Thanks don. I thought this was the issue as well. I did this the second time when I looked everything over. I think that this is not the issue but I will triple check it again. Thank you for the reply. |
I checked the motor shaft tonight. Same type of results. Would go a short distance then reverse. Unlike in the past, it did not blink 5 times. It only blinked once. Any help??? |

1 FLASH Safety reversing sensors wire open (broken or disconnected). |
Ok. I do not have the owners booklet, so where is the safety reversing sensor wire located??? |
- Posted by don_1_2006 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 12, 11 at 11:09
The safety sensors are the sensors in the garage doorway and the wires run from them to the motor unit. The solid white wire from each sensor runs to terminal #2 and the white wires with black traces go to terminal #3. |

Continuing the theme of the press focusing on the lobbying efforts of the financial industry to keep the status quo, The New York Times reports today that the banks are gearing up to fight the new consumer financial-protection agency—hard.
The Times writes that killing the agency is now the financial industry's top goal, which is not that surprising since most everything else in Obama's plan is hardly onerous to the industry that shattered the economy. This comes on the heels of the release of Obama's plan for the agency, which seems to have broad political support.
But industry executives vowed on Tuesday to fight Mr. Obama's plan with everything they have, even though banks are still heavily dependent on many taxpayer-supported loans and loan guarantees to get through the crisis.
"It's going to be a huge fight," said Edward L. Yingling, president of the American Bankers Association. "This agency would have broad powers that go beyond every consumer law that has ever been enacted."
Of course, the banks know they're not going to "kill" the agency—although they'll pray for that outside chance. What they want to do is water its mission down until its something like a toothless regulator that won't be able to affect them so much. I wouldn't bet against them on that one. They've got cash, after all, which the NYT euphemistically calls "close ties":
Opponents include JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo as well as thousands of regional and local banks that have close ties to lawmakers in every part of the country. But the opposition could also include countless mortgage lenders and independent mortgage brokers.
Why anyone would listen to the mortgage folks is beyond me. Oh wait.
The Times pulls an unintentionally funny quote from a banks mouthpiece:
"We know the optics are bad," said Scott Talbott, vice president for government affairs for the Financial Services Roundtable, a trade association in Washington. "If you are against a consumer regulatory agency, then everybody will say you're against consumer regulation."
I can't imagine why opposing a consumer regulator would make people think you oppose consumer regulation. That's a stunning leap of logic "everybody" is making!
The industry prefers its own regulators, which it's spent decades co-opting, and which have been enablers of financial industry interests (or so they thought) in recent years rather than arms-length overseers in the public interest.
Here's what the industry is so scared of:
It would give the new agency marching orders to set standards for traditional mortgages, and the agency would have the authority to demand that lenders offer those kinds of loans or give consumers the chance to opt out of riskier products.
It would also give the new agency the power to restrict or prohibit mortgages that come with hidden fees and steep penalties for borrowers who pay the loan off early. It would also be empowered to interpret and enforce the new credit card law that Congress passed last month, aimed at restricting banks from arbitrarily raising interest rates.
It would also have examiners, much like existing bank regulatory agencies, who would have the authority to go into specific institutions, issue subpoenas and scrutinize their practices, demand changes and seek penalties.
No more devious loans that trick consumers into forking over billions of dollars in fees and penalties. No more exploding mortgages. No more putting prime borrowers in subprime loans. No more lending people thousands of dollars and then doubling their interest rates overnight. At least I'd hope this agency would mean no more of that stuff. The Times just says it would "be empowered" to stop these things. Regulators of all kinds were empowered to stop the craziness that went on during the bubble, but they didn't.
A key thing to watch on this new consumer agency will be who staffs it. If its officials come from the revolving door of the financial industry, it'll be more or less business as usual. If they're outsiders, then it will have a real chance of changing how the business operates.
The obvious choice would be an outsider like Harvard professor, author and Congressional Oversight Panel chair (and NPR punching bag) Elizabeth Warren, who after all came up with the idea. Wall Street would fight that nomination to the death, though, and as we've seen, the press probably wouldn't favor it too much.
Don't hold your breath on that one.

Izzy's Ice Cream: A Minnesota Fairy Tale
I'm a very impatient person, but on this trip to Minneapolis patience and forbearance paid off in spades. That said, St. Paul-based Izzy's Ice Cream was harder to get into than SPQR at 7:00 on a Friday.
Our first attempt was via the web on Saturday morning. Since we were crossing the grand Mississippi to pay a virgin visit to the St. Paul Farmer's Market, we thought we'd drop by for a frozen scoop or two before lunch. The website put Izzy's opening hours at 2:00pm, which rather late for what is still essentially summer, but we decided to swing by anyway. Maybe the website was wrong.
We got Izzy's, which was clearly closed, and looked at the hours painted on the glass door. They stated they opened at 12:00pm. It was 11:00am. Without anything left to do in the capital city, we went back to Minneapolis to lunch at Bryant Lake Bowl. (This was a happy side trip because we had our first taste of Surly beer, but more on that later.) At 12:30 we headed back across the river. Izzy's was still not open. This time we found a red sign stating that their "fall" opening hours (valid only for September and October because true Minnesotans know that November is not fall but winter) was 2:00 pm. Lord.
Frustrated and yearning for the elusive salted caramel I had sampled over a year ago, we trudged to Kowalski's on Lake Street. We knew they carried Izzy's but sadly, not one pint of salted caramel could be found. I didn't want to be mad at Izzy's — after all, they were (by their calculations) the first shop in the nation to be run by solar power! Also, I really wanted to get my husband in on that salted caramel because the lines at Bi-Rite have been Bi-Ridiculous.
Our third and final attempt on Monday afternoon actually got us in the open door, but as we scanned the list of ice creams, we saw no Salted Caramel. We looked in the pint freezer. No salted caramel.
We sighed sadly and made other delicious choices — sampling an incredible pink grapefruit sorbet before settling on seasonal pumpkin and coffee — but when I mentioned to the girl helping me that I had been hoping for the mythical salted caramel, she said, "We're making it right now. We'll have it tomorrow." I said, "Oh, I'm leaving town tomorrow…" She said, "We'll have it for you when you get back." "No, I live in San Francisco," I mourned. "Hang on," she said. She went next door — TO WHERE THEY WERE MAKING THE ICE CREAM — and came pack with a fresh pint. "We haven't blast-chilled it yet, so it's more like soft serve consistency," she told me apologetically.
Did I care? I would have taken it if it was fully liquid! (Also, since my father has this odd habit of microwaving his ice cream to make ice cream soup, this would be better for him.) It was served that night after dinner and received rave reviews from the whole family.
Sweet was the long-sought taste of salted caramel, but sweeter was the way we got it.

text: I agree with Legenderous, and would also suggest the same thing with a used vehicle warranty--if you aren't sure whether or not the warranty covers something, ask. If someone at a dealership tells you a specific service is covered by their warranty, but you don't see it in the warranty language, have the service person write it down, along with their name and date. That way, you'll have proof if you need it (though you'll probably need to take it back to that specific dealership to get it honored).

Future Islands have been getting tons of attention ever since 4AD signed them and David Letterman co-signed them. One of the oddest examples is this new "moving portrait" from Google Play in which footage of bandmates Samuel T. Herring, William Cashion, and Gerritt Welmers staring sentimentally at the camera is matched with audio recordings of their responses to questions about what makes them happy, what they need in life, etc. Some of the story behind new album Singles is included. Watch below.
Singles is out now on 4AD, and we named it Album Of The Week a few weeks back.

Original post at http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ParkviewUnitedMethodistChurchBentonArk/~3/lIhvmD69_sc/
I believe there are things that we should never be content with, such as personal growth and seeking ways to improve the well being of others. But for me it stops there.
Contentment with gratitude is the recipe for peace, and strong relationships. I'm not saying that it is wrong to be ambitious or to seek success, however, if that "reach" into the future is robbing you and those you love of today, of the present, then it becomes a problem.
Erma Bombeck quipped once about the ladies who were concerned about their figures and turned down desert their last night on the Titanic. No one knew, nor did they imagine it possible, that the majority of the passengers aboard would drown that night.
We only have the guarantee of the second we are living in. And when we are gone, those most important to us will only have memories of the time we spent with them. Were you "being" with them in mind as well as in body? Or were you striving for the future? We tell ourselves we are doing it for them, but if death comes knocking at our door, then we have actually robbed them of precious moments with us.
I used to be discontent with my home when my children were small. All my friends were in nice new homes. I'm sure my self-pity and envy hung heavy on my family. However, one day I read about contentment with gratitude and it rang true to me. From that day on my children didn't hear me sigh or complain. I made it our "nest." A few years later we did build a new home. In fact, we have built several. But now, when our children and their families all gather in our home some forty years later, the only home they reminisce about is the old house in Sonora.
Are you discontent with your stuff? With your job? With life? I encourage you to make a list of all the things you are discontent with and then beside them write something you should be grateful about. For instance, if "job" is on your discontent side, write beside it, "at least I have one."
Contentment with gratitude is the best gift you can give your family, friends, and yourself.

I have to admit that I was not happy with St. John's University's decision to fire Norm Roberts as men's basketball head coach last spring and replace him with Steve Lavin. As you'd expect, Lavin promised to return St. John's basketball to its past glory — though he did not promise a timetable.
Lavin has backed up his pledge probably better than even he expected. Two weeks ago, the Red Storm shocked the Duke Blue Devils 93-78 at Madison Square Garden. Last Saturday the Johnnies went to California to take on UCLA. They lost 66-59, but the referees sent UCLA players to the free throw line 34 more times than they did the Red Storm, which probably accounts for the loss.
What all this means is that barring a total collapse between now and the conclusion of the Big East Tournament at the Garden next month, the Red Storm have a reasonable shot at getting an invitation to the NCAA Tournament. That would have been a ridiculous dream just two months ago.
Proponents of a popular mixed martial arts league, Strikeforce, are going all out this week to put pressure on getting their sport legalized in New York State. Strikeforce is holding a big card at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, NJ on Saturday night. In advance of that, the promoters held several press conferences and a fan festival in Manhattan.
Frank Shamrock, who was a very popular MMA fighter and is currently a broadcaster for Strikeforce on CBS and Showtime telecasts, told me that contrary to popular belief, there are both fewer blows to the head and serious injuries in his sport than there are in boxing. Shamrock also said that the popularity of MMA has skyrocketed over boxing because the best fighters always go up against each other.
"Nobody stays undefeated in this sport for long," Shamrock said with a laugh.
There is little doubt about the popularity of mixed martial arts, based on cable ratings. Strikeforce's main rival, Ultimate Fighting Championship, does quite well on Showtime. MTV2 will start airing its fourth season of Bellator Fighting Championship on Saturday nights next month. Mark Cuban's HD Net airs a slew of smaller promotions, and its Friday night roundup of all the various MMA leagues is attracting many viewers.
Cuban was in town last week when his Dallas Mavericks beat the Knicks. After throwing some naive sportswriters a bone by saying that he would listen to any offers from the Mets' owners (trust me, "limited partner" is not in his lexicon), Cuban railed against Time Warner Cable for dropping HD Net a year ago. "Our ratings are higher than a lot of the networks owned by Disney, Viacom and Comcast but we are the only true independent television network, and we lack the clout of the big boys," he said.
I asked Darryl Strawberry at the annual Baseball Assistance Team fundraiser what he has learned so far from running Strawberry Sports Grill in Douglaston. "Business is a lot better when the Jets win!" he replied.

Pete Sepp: US Senate Trying to Attach Bad Internet Tax Bill to Good One
The National Taxpayers Union and R Street Institute have been surveying likely voters in 20 states and visiting states to discuss a federal bill to allow states to tax Internet sales no matter where buyers and retailers are located. By margins of 2-to-1 or more, respondents oppose the measure, says Pete Sepp of the National Taxpayers Union. He says they not only dislike the idea of having to pay more for online purchases because of higher taxes; they also oppose it because of the government intrusiveness that would go with it. But U.S. Senators led by Democrat Dick Durbin of Illinois are angling to attach the online sales tax bill to another popular bill that would permanently ban Internet access taxes. The Senate vote could happen any day.

Looks just like a firefly, to me! They don't eat leaves, so you've got the wrong culprit. Adult firefly beetles feed on nectar and the larvae are predaceous ground dwellers. Beneficial insects, all the way around. Fireflies have been all over the place in my yard, too. By the way, there are many species of this insect, each with its own physical characteristics. |

The 10 Most (And Least) Accurate Sci-Fi Movies
Science Fiction wouldnt be much fun if movies never took any creative license. But some popcorn flicks are just too wrong to enjoy. Here are 10 movies we love for their plausibility, and 10 distorted blockbusters were still trying to forgive. (And don't miss our feature on the scientists and tech-savvy filmmakers trying to make sci-fi more believable.)

Minority Report (2002)
The premisepsychics who predict crimesis ridiculous. The films gadgets are not: Self-driving cars are increasingly plausible, and the iris-scanning, targeted advertising will be in stores soon. Real-life tech equivalent: the holographic operating system. Researchers specializing in human computer interaction still show clips of Tom Cruise swiping at midair applications to illustrate their goals. Microsofts HoloDesk comes closethe research demo maps hand movements to projected images, letting users grasp virtual objects.
