The unrest is less about Islam and more about economics.
SAN FRANCISCO — For Kasim Tuman, a Uighur activist living in California, the explanation for the long-simmering resentment between his people and the Han Chinese that boiled over into deadly ethnic riots in northwest China last week is a matter of two numbers: 6 and 40.
The first is the percentage population of Han Chinese in Xinjiang, the Uighurs' native province, prior to the establishment of the People's Republic of China. The second is that percentage today.
"The influx of immigrant Han Chinese is so large that Uighurs have become a minority in their own land," said Tuman, the West Coast coordinator the Uighur American Association.
Beijing's explanation for last week's violence is equally simple: It was the work of overseas Uighurs like Tuman — terrorist organizers, the government says, who manipulated their fellow Muslims back home to embark on a bloody rampage.
As columns of Chinese troops maintain a semblance of calm in Urumqi, the provincial capital where at least 156 died and hundreds more were injured in the deadliest episode of ethnic violence in modern Chinese history, attention both in China and abroad has turned to the question of why.
The riots appeared to have grown out of protests over the killing of Uighurs by a mob of Han Chinese factory workers in Guangdong province angry about the rumored rape of two Han Chinese women in the factory. But as with the Rodney King trial and 1992 Los Angeles race riots, the Guangdong incident was a catalyst for the violence, not an explanation for the violence in and of itself.
Tension between Han Chinese and mostly Muslim Uighurs dates back centuries. In recent years, the struggle has come to be seen by some as an issue of religion. This is thanks in large part to the government's classification of independence-minded Uighurs as terrorists (a shift in rhetoric linked to China's acquiescence in the George W. Bush's War on Terror). But observations by scholars, the reactions of regular Han Chinese and the experiences of Uighurs themselves suggest the conflict is less about Islam and more about economics.
The Urumqi riots produced an explosion of indignation inside China itself. As with riots in Tibet in March of 2008, much of the commentary focused on preferential economic policies directed at the region.
"How many other countries treat minorities as favorably as China does?" one YouTube user wrote in Chinese under a video depicting the riots. "Why are some people still unsatisfied? They don't understand gratitude."
Since the start of its "Go West" campaign in the year 2000, Beijing has invested tens of billions in Xinjiang in an effort to develop its rich stores of oil (China's second-largest), uranium, gold and other minerals. Such investment is described in Chinese state media as a boon to Uighurs and other minorities in Xinjiang — a sort of ethnic minority stimulus plan. While the region's GDP growth has hovered in the teens, however, the practical benefits to Xinjiang natives have been meager.

Over-the-counter (OTC) remedies are wonderful. You don't need a prescription, and relief is as close as the nearest drugstore. You may already use several OTC remedies.
It's easy to forget that OTC remedies are drugs that can cause side effects and affect other medications. That's why it's important to read the dosage instructions, health risks, and warnings on the packaging.
Many OTC products contain several different types of medications. For example, you may find combinations of acetaminophen, cough medicine, and decongestant for colds. Be sure to read the active ingredients listed on the box to know exactly which medications are contained in your OTC product.
Keep in mind that as an older adult, you may be more sensitive to some drugs or you may be taking prescribed medications that could interact with OTC medicines. If you take OTC remedies often at the highest dosage, you are more likely to have harmful side effects. Here are a few OTC remedies and some of their side effects:
Acetaminophen may relieve pain and fever, but taking large doses for a long time can lead to kidney damage. The drug is available in many formulations. Taking more than 4,000 milligrams a day can cause liver damage. If you have liver disease or have more than 3 alcoholic drinks a day, talk with a doctor before using medications that contain acetaminophen. The risk that acetaminophen will harm the liver increases when the drug is combined with alcohol or other drugs that can harm the liver.
If you take warfarin, acetaminophen is better to use for pain relief than aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or naproxen because acetaminophen doesn't cause stomach bleeding or ulcers. It also has no effect on blood thinning. But the blood-thinning effect of warfarin can sometimes significantly increase after only a few days of using acetaminophen, because acetaminophen boosts the level of warfarin in the blood. If you start taking acetaminophen while on warfarin, you should talk with your doctor about decreasing the acetaminophen dose or having your warfarin levels monitored more frequently.
Antacids can interact with many drugs and cause problems for people with heart or kidney conditions or high blood pressure. Brands with aluminum may cause constipation or weaken bones. Magnesium-based antacids may cause diarrhea.
Aspirin can interfere with blood clotting and may worsen or trigger asthma. If you take a prescription blood thinner, use aspirin only if your doctor says you can. It can cause heartburn, indigestion, and ulcers, and may worsen asthma in individuals who are sensitive to aspirin.
Cold or allergy remedies can often have several medications, including antihistamines, decongestants, cough suppressants, and expectorants. Read the label to find the active ingredients, not just the product's descriptive marketing name. For example, Tylenol PM contains both acetaminophen and the antihistamine medication diphenhydramine. People taking this drug can have all the side effects of an antihistamine and of acetaminophen.
If you are taking more than 1 OTC medicine, be sure to review their active ingredients so that you don't accidentally overdose by taking more than 1 medicine in the same class of drug.
Antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine or chlorpheniramine, may leave you drowsy and sluggish, making driving dangerous. Light-headedness and blurred vision may occur in older adults, and difficulty urinating may occur in older men.
Decongestants, such as pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine, can cause nervousness and insomnia and may raise your blood pressure. If you have diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, or an overactive thyroid, use these remedies only with a doctor's permission.
Expectorants, such as guaifenesin for thinning of sputum and secretions, can cause some mild side effects, including dizziness and headache.
Cough medicines, such as dextromethorphan, can cause drowsiness, blurry vision, and lightheadedness.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs include ibuprofen and naproxen. They help relieve pain. Ask your doctor before using them if you have any kidney or liver problems, stomach problems, heart failure, high blood pressure, or if you take any blood thinners.
Remember to read the label and check with your doctor before taking an OTC remedy. Then you'll be ready to get relief.

1 The Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that the Israelites were approaching on the road to Atharim. So he attacked the Israelites and took some of them as prisoners. | 1 When the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming along the road to Atharim, he attacked the Israelites and captured some of them. |
2 Then the people of Israel made this vow to the LORD: "If you will help us conquer these people, we will completely destroy all their towns." | 2 Then Israel made this vow to the LORD: "If you will deliver these people into our hands, we will totally destroy their cities." |
3 The LORD heard their request and gave them victory over the Canaanites. The Israelites completely destroyed them and their towns, and the place has been called Hormah ever since. | 3 The LORD listened to Israel's plea and gave the Canaanites over to them. They completely destroyed them and their towns; so the place was named Hormah. |

AG has had long enough
Friday, January 31, 2014
The investigation into suspended Rockingham County Attorney James Reams is starting to make the state Attorney General's Office look like "The Gang That Couldn't Shoot straight," a 1971 comedy film based on Jimmy Breslin book by the same name.
He was referring to interim Rockingham County Attorney James Boffetti, who had initially been scheduled for the budget work, then at the eleventh hour, called off without explanation.
There also seems to be interest in reimbursements Reams received for attending work-related conferences, for which he says there is documentation.

Cheri Oteri Gets a Kick out of 'Jessie' (EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS)
The "Saturday Night Live" alum guest stars on Friday's new episode on Disney Channel.
Just when we thought the shenanigans on Jessie couldn't get any more comical, the gods of Disney Channel are upping the ante in the funny department!
With Season 2 of the sitcom in full swing, the latest episodes are being packed with exciting guest stars, like Miami Heat player Chris Bosh, and Friday's episode is no different. Celebuzz has exclusive first looks on what hijinks the episode entitled "Teacher's Pest" will entail.
The new episode will feature Saturday Night Live alum and notoriously hilarious Cheri Oteri playing against Jessie (Debby Ryan) in the form of a problematic school teacher that the nanny must appease in order to rectify a situation involving Zuri (Skai Jackson).In CB's exclusive photos, Jessie seems to be in the midst of an attempt to play the magical sport of Quidditch (a la Harry Potter) with the teacher. That's our best guess. You'll need to watch the episode to be sure.
Flip through the gallery to see our shots of Oteri on Jessie.
Jessie airs Friday at 8:30PM on Disney Channel.
Do you think that Jessie can win over the antagonistic teacher?

Bible in Basic English (BBE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 My loved ones, this is now my second letter to you, and in this as in the first, I am attempting to keep your true minds awake; | 1 Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. |
2 So that you may keep in mind the words of the holy prophets in the past, and the law of the Lord and Saviour which was given to you by his Apostles. | 2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles. |
3 Having first of all the knowledge that in the last days there will be men who, ruled by their evil desires, will make sport of holy things, | 3 First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. |
4 Saying, Where is the hope of his coming? From the death of the fathers till now everything has gone on as it was from the making of the world. | 4 They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." |
5 But in taking this view they put out of their minds the memory that in the old days there was a heaven, and an earth lifted out of the water and circled by water, by the word of God; | 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. |
6 And that the world which then was came to an end through the overflowing of the waters. | 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. |

Good one !!
Got this home theatre system recently, got to tell you guys the 3d angled speakers gives good quality.. thought of going for Sony 600W but when heard the same music on both, philips sounded really amazing and takes to a different mood of listening to music. The touch feature rocks!! There is no distortion even at high volume.Prasanna Ramani

Good One
I bought this home theater and it is pretty good. The sound quality is awesome and the options are great. The only negative aspect is it blanks few seconds even when you change sound mode. Good for this price.Muthuvel

The Kia Soul is a testament to the fact that a vehicle doesn't have to have a giant footprint to be a useful cargo hauler. Sure, the Soul won't swallow as much junk as a Chevy Suburban, but I managed to fit in two upholstered easy chairs and a bunch of other assorted objects that I purchased during a spur-of-the-moment trip to Ikea. When the warehouse workers first wheeled the chairs out of the storeroom and I saw how large the boxes were, I had doubts that they'd fit in the Soul. However, with the back seats folded down, the bulky boxes fit -- with room to spare.
I find the Soul's design particularly charming, with its rising beltline tempering the box-on-wheels theme that is becoming increasingly popular among Asian carmakers. The interior is also nicely put together - not lavish, but definitely not downmarket considering the Soul's sub-$20,000 price tag. I was pleasantly surprised by the four-cylinder engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission - it certainly doesn't make the Soul a racehorse, but at only 2820 pounds, the Soul doesn't need a lot of power to help it move right along. I was able to quickly bring the Soul up to highway speeds while merging onto I-94, and it happily cruised with traffic at 80 mph.

Threat Level
January 30, 2009
A legally blind Massachusetts phone hacker admitted this week to federal
computer intrusion and witness intimidation charges that could put him
away for as long as 13 years.
Matthew Weigman, 18, pleaded guilty to two felonies before U.S.
Magistrate Judge Paul D. Stickney in Dallas on Tuesday. Known in the
telephone party-line scene as "Li'l Hacker," Weigman is widely
considered one of the best phone hackers alive.
Relying on an ironclad memory and detailed knowledge of the phone
system, the teenager is known for using social engineering to manipulate
phone company workers and others into divulging confidential
information, and into entering commands into computers and telephone
switching equipment on his behalf. The FBI had been chasing Weigman
since he was 15 years old, at times courting him as an informant. He
was finally arrested last May, less than two months after celebrating
his 18th birthday.
"I've been interested in phones since I've been about 8," Weigman said
in a 2007 interview with Wired.com. "I talked to technicians when they
came down here to do things on my phone."

TFL Holding GmbH's creditors will seek second-round bids for the German leather-chemicals supplier at the end of April to give time for suitors in Asia to evaluate the company and fine-tune offers, three people familiar with the situation said.
The asset has attracted interest from private equity as well as manufacturers seeking to enter the leather-chemical industry, said the people, who declined to be identified because details are private. Rival suppliers BASF SE (BAS), Clariant AG (CLN) and Lanxess AG (LXS) are not in the process, the people said.
Efforts to consolidate among European suppliers of leather chemicals have been hampered by low valuations. BASF abandoned the sale of its leather and textile unit in March after offers fell short of the company's valuation. Competition from low-cost producers in Asia is coinciding with a slowdown in demand in some markets for leather bags and shoes. TFL may fetch bids of as much as $264 million, other people with knowledge of the situation have said.
Officials at TFL, BASF and Lanxess declined to comment. Spokespeople at Clariant weren't immediately available.
The deadline for submitting binding bids may slip to accommodate more recent entrants to the sale process who still need time to review the company and its debt situation, the people said.
Stahl Holdings BV, owned by Paris-based buyout firm Wendel SA (MF), is also a competitor of TFL's. Spokeswoman Odila Sibrijns wasn't immediately available to comment.
TFL, which stands for Together For Leather, is being sold on behalf of creditors seeking debt repayments taken on under the ownership of private equity firm Odewald & Cie. Andreas Ziegenhagen is the trustee overseeing the sale, advised by Leonardo & Co. Odewald bought TFL, which has annual sales of about 240 million euros, from Permira Advisers LLP in 2003 for an undisclosed price.

Martz understands Jay Cutler criticism
LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz held off on rushing to the defense of quarterback Jay Cutler.
In fact, Martz called the widespread criticism about Cutler's mechanical deficiencies "fair," adding that the quarterback continues to improve, but it's impossible to eliminate a career's worth of technical kinks in just one season.
"Some of the footwork [criticism] -- and he knows that -- is fair. You can't go through a lifetime with those kinds of habits and fix them in one season," Martz said. "He's gotten way better every week the way we've asked our players to do. But you have to temper it a little, too."
Cutler has cut back from his league-leading interceptions (26) in 2009 to 16 this season, and enters Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers coming off a strong performance in the team's divisional-round triumph over the Seattle Seahawks.
Even with his widely criticized mechanics, Cutler has been able to make some clutch plays with his natural ability. Given another year in Martz's system, and increased focus on sharpening his fundamentals, Cutler seems to be poised to step in the elite category of quarterbacks.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is often regarded as elite, but he still hasn't taken his team to the level of success the Bears currently enjoy with Cutler at the helm.
"I like his progress. He'll get there; he'll get there," Martz said. "We're making more plays each week than we're making the previous week. The decision making, the timing of the throws, the accuracy, there's a lot involved with that.
"We do the footwork stuff twice a week every week for about 20 minutes with him. As we add new things, he has a tendency to drift a little bit. But I'm pleased with his progress. To say you can just go out there, say your footwork is not good, [and] we're going to do a few drills and fix it, it doesn't work like that."
Coming into the NFL in 2006, Cutler was criticized about his footwork and mechanics while praised for his strong arm. Martz thinks Cutler's technical issues are a product of a college career spent behind a bad offensive line at Vanderbilt.
"He's had a whole career of running around [in a] trying-to-make-it-happen kind of mode," Martz said. "But he's working out diligently with all kinds of hot protections and things he's had to deal with mentally, and it's hard to groove yourself."

Sunshine Beaded Dress
By: Shauna for Shwin and Shwin
The sunshine beaded dress is an adorable lined dress to make for a special little girl. Follow this sewing tutorial and sewing for kids will be a snap!
- Lining

- Sewing Supplies
- Zipper
- Beads
- Pattern
- Make the back yoke piece. Grab a shirt that fits well and fold it in half line the fold up with the edge of the paper. Then trace along the neckline and shoulder. Go about 1.5 inches down the arm.
- Measure how far down you want the curved piece to be from the top neckline of the shirt and mark that length down the edge of the paper. Then connect the point at the shoulder to the bottom mark with a curve.
- For the front yoke piece trace the curve and shoulder of the back yoke piece and then draw in a lower neckline.
- Lastly the bodice piece move the yoke piece (front or back) in from the edge of the paper about 1.5 inches. then trace the curve up till about 1 inch from the shoulder. Also you want to put in a armpit slope, then at a slight angle the bodice piece can be as long or short as you like.
- Mark the bodice piece where the yoke piece begins, and mark the yoke piece where the bodice piece begins. You will need those marks later.
For cutting out:
from the outer material cut:
- 1 bodice piece on the fold
- 2 bodice pieces not on the fold
- 1 front yoke piece on the fold
- 2 back yoke pieces not on the fold
- Cut the same out of a lining material only make the bodice pieces 2 inches shorter. I used a stretch cotton sateen for the outer and a lightweight cotton for the lining.
For the sewing I used the lining to show for the pieces so you could see the thread. You will do the same steps for the outer and lining pieces.
- Start by gathering your bodice pieces between the marks. (the marks where the yoke piece started.
- sew the front yoke piece to the front bodice piece along the curve.
- Make sure you line the bodice piece up at the marks.
- Then it should look like this.
- Gather the back pieces as you did the front only you will gather them from the mark to the edge. Then sew them to the back yoke piece. Then sew the front and back pieces together at the shoulders.
- Now you should have outer and lining pieces that are sewn at the shoulders. Next put the two pieces right sides together and sew them along the neckline.
- clip the neck curve. Then turn the piece right side out.
- Top stitch the neckline.
- Next turn under the edge of the outer and lining material along the shoulder. Then sew in place.
- Next lay the top out flat so the lining and outer are right sides up. Lift up the two ends so right sides are together then sew them together. Then turn the piece around. The lining was cut shorter to create a bubble hem.
- Next piece the sides together so that right sides are together. Then sew them together.
- Next fold back panels over the front panels so right sides are together for the outer and lining pieces.
- With the layers lined up which will create a circle of sorts. sew along the raw edge.
- Then lay it out flat.
- Next put a zipper in the back, and sew the back seam together under the zipper. The top should be all sewn.
- Lastly the finishing touches. I grabbed some beads and laid out a design I liked, then I sewed the beads on.

FILIPINO RECIPE - Puchero by Nadine Sarreal
We'll be posting some Philippine recipes from www.palhbooks.com's Favorite Filipino Recipes. The following main dish recipe is from Filipina literary writer, Nadine Sarreal, who writes prose and poetry. Her work has been published in the Philippines, the USA, Hong Kong, Singapor, Finland, and France. She is the founding member of the Writers Coven, a support group in Singapore.
PUCHERO (Stew)
2 lbs of stewing beef, cut into 2" cubes
1 oz chorizo or hot pepperoni, cut into thin slices
4 green onion, cut in 4" length
1 stalk celery, cut in 4" length
2 tsp salt
1 small cabbage, cut into 8
2 medium potatoes, pared and cubed
1/4 lb green beans
2 tbsp cooking oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, minced
1/2 c tomato sauce
1 cup canned chickpeas (garbanzos)
1. Boil beef in a big pot with just enough water to cover meat. Let simmer until beef is tender, about 2 hours.
2. Remove beef from pot. Boil broth and add potatoes. Boil for 2-3 minutes. Add green beans and cabbage. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
3. In a separate smaller pot, saute garlic and onion in hot oil. Add beef and tomato sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add 3 cups of the broth and bring to a boil. Add the chickpeas. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Place the beef in a deep serving dish. Arrange the vegetables around the meat. Garnish with the chorizo slices. Pour the tomato sauce broth over the entire dish and serve with hot rice.
5. Eggplant salad complements this nicely. Serve it as a side dish.
(Note A: You may substitute 3 lbs of cut-up chicken instead of the beef, or 2 lbs of chicken and 1 lb of lean pork. Cook the pork first for about 1 hour before adding the chicken for another 30 minutes.)
This recipe serves 6-8 people. Nadine R. Sarreal

We've written about "reborn dolls" before: they are extremely lifelike baby dolls which are often purchased by women who have suffered miscarriages and/or had abortions. Often women dress them up in outfits and give them names. The dolls are usually pretty creepy-looking on their own, but this vampire baby reborn doll for sale on Etsy.com is gives me extra chills.

In a passing league where passing is king and everyone passes because passing is the best, three positions have generally taken on an inflated market value: quarterbacks, defensive ends, and cornerbacks. So the thrower of the passes, the interceptor of the passes, and those who collapse the passer.
For cornerbacks, the truly massive cash only lands in the hands of the few who occupy the very top tier. Think Darrelle Revis, who's getting paid $16 million annually, or Richard Sherman in the very near future. But the others a level below still get paid nicely. Consider the not so distant spring of 2012 when the Cowboys paid $10 million annually to acquire the services of Brandon Carr, and the Rams paid Cortland Finnegan the same. The latter is likely to be cut soon, but over half of Finnegan's contract ($27 million) is fully guaranteed.
Avoiding that sort of cost and commitment with Brent Grimes, widely viewed as the top cornerback available had he hit the market, was an aim for the Dolphins and new general manager Thomas Hickey. Achievement unlocked.
Earlier this morning Grimes was signed to a four-year contract worth $32 million, with $16 million guaranteed. My arithmetic indicates that's $8 million annually, which is a sufficient buffer from the likes of Carr and Finnegan two years ago, and most importantly it keeps the cost to retain a corner of Grimes' vintage down and in an area that's tolerable. As good and as irreplaceable as he is on the Dolphins' roster, Grimes will turn 31 before next season. That's not too rusty/crusty, but it's certainly at the back half of a cornerback's prime years.
And about those prime years for Grimes: they've been pretty fine when his body isn't ripping. After missing all but one game in the 2012 season with an ACL tear, Grimes returned to his shutdown form. While recording 17 passes defensed Grimes had four interceptions, and most impressively allowed an opposing passer rating of only 66.3 on balls thrown in his direction. That's according to Pro Football Focus, which ranked Grimes as the league's second best cornerback in 2013.
The front-end loading of the guaranteed money could essentially make this a two-year deal in reality, with the Dolphins able to move on from Grimes after two seasons at no cost. That's a crucial security measure when dealing with an older-ish corner (he'll be 34 at the end of the contract if he stays on that long), and although he showed no ill-effects last year, Grimes is still only one season removed from an ACL tear.
The discussion of age leads to a broader and more lucrative conversation about how this contract will effect the rest of the cornerback market. If Grimes can get $8 million annually and $16 million guaranteed after one bounce-back year, we can use that as an entry point while estimating how much the remaining top cornerbacks will cost.
Aqib Talib is 28 years old, but after starting strong this past season with four interceptions over the first four weeks and then shutting down Jimmy Graham, he faded while struggling with a hip injury. Still, the impact of his bruising will be mild. If he becomes available, Talib should receive a similar contract to Grimes', and maybe slightly more.
There there's Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who should be worth at least $9 million at his youthful age of 27. And at 25 years old, Alterrean Verner will garner an even larger cash mountain ($10 million? $11 million?) after his bust out season with 28 passes defensed and five interceptions.

Hitmans Zoning Petition
PETITION TO AMEND ZONING ORDINANCETO: THE TOWN OF KNOX TOWN BOARD, PLANNING BOARD and ZONING BOARD of APPEALS
I, Kristen Reynders, a resident of the Town of Knox residing at 1039 Township Road, Altamont, New York petition to amend the zoning law as follows:1. Article V Section 50 (A)(1)(a) dealing with home occupation. The law currently states "in any district nothing in this Ordinance shall prevent individuals from conducting their business, trade or profession in their home or residence provided no one other than the owner or tenant of the property is employed on the premises, that no other business person, trades person or professional shall be permitted to share, let or sublet space for any use;..."
We propose that this section be
amended to state that "in any district nothing in this Ordinance shall prevent
individuals from conducting their business, trade or profession in their home
or residence provided that the owner or tenant of the property shall employ no
more than two additional individuals on the premises, ..."
Article IV Section 45 - Business Uses - This section currently lists
"Public Garage" as a non-permitted use in a residential district. We propose changing the "N" to a "C" which
would designate a public garage as a "temporary and/or conditional use
contingent on securing a Special Use Permit in each case from the Zoning Board
of Appeals.
Amend Article III - Section 41(3) District Boundaries Business. The law currently states that there are no
areas presently so designated. We would
like this section to be amended to create a business/ mixed use district
encompassing the property known as 1039
Township Road in the Town of Knox.
A legal description of the business/mixed use district shall be
determined by the Town.
The proposed changes listed above should be reviewed and considered individually and not as a whole.
Joan Bentley
We desperately NEED business in KNOX... I urge you to give this lady a permit to operate her towning business. There is basically NOTHING left in KNOX...
Patricia Miller
It's about time that we have some businesses in Knox. This is a great business, and there is no reason to keep their lives in constant turmoil. The town has used them like a ping pong ball back and forth between the Planning Board, Zoning Board, and the Town Board, enough is enough. I live next door to them, and have absolutely no complaints. Let's keep nice young families in the town!!
Kim Swain
Let's keep the businesses! And elect new board members!! Please remember all the things this board doesn't do come election time!

Editor's Note: In May EMS Insider, we promised you more from Matt Zavadsky on the topic of branding EMS. In a special Web exclusive, here's his take on how to create a national brand for EMS.
As a profession, EMS has a lot of work to do to create a respected image or "brand identity" on a state and national level. Perhaps the most poignant comment to illustrate this point came from an elected official in the Florida Senate when several of us were lobbying for an innovative change to the statutes that would dramatically improve patient care. One senator said, "We cannot vote to pave a road for you EMS people when you all want to take different roads." Painful. But you know, she was right. The measure failed.
We've been so busy pursuing the public vs. private agenda that we've lost credibility on a national front. We've invested so many resources battling each other that we've almost lost the war.
There seemed to be a glimmer of hope when the lobbying group Advocates for EMS appeared to be making progress pursuing a truly cross-representative and singular voice for EMS on a national level. However, now as the AprilEMS Insider reported (in "Fire Service Groups Create EMS Coalition"), one sector has created its own advocacy group specifically geared toward promoting its own agenda for one type of service-delivery model.
So it's back to square one.
In the fog of this public vs. private war, EMS has lost its identity. We can ill-afford to invest our resources arguing which EMS "brand" is better. Instead, we must focus nationally on elevating theprofession, working in unison toward common goals.
So many issues affect all of us in EMS, whether the name of our agency ends in "Inc." or starts with "City of." There's scope of practice, workforce development, funding and reimbursement, vehicle design standards, liability reform, treat-and-refer programs and a host of other challenges.
Perhaps the national EMS community should pick one or two "white hat" issues (neither of which should have anything to do with money) and all push in the same direction to finally move the mountain.
For example, we could start by changing our scope of practice to allow us to take the right patient, to the right facility, at the right time in the right way. We know that about half of the patients we respond to don't need to be seen in an emergency department, yet we accept a system that forces us to take every patient to the most expensive care setting using the most expensive mode of transportation. Our neighbors in Canada and the United Kingdom are years ahead of where we are on this one issue and have garnered international acclaim for taking these initiatives.
If we can agree on this first step ƒ a step that would benefit every EMS agency, no matter what patch we wear on our sleeves ƒ we might actually help turn the Titanic before it hits the iceberg. Making that kind of difference in our nation and local community would go a long way toward establishing brand recognition for our profession.
We need to realize that our essential mission is the same, our patients are the same and our motives are the same. Once we do that, we can find many areas on which we might actually agree. Once we get behind a common goal, there will be no stopping us. The first step is always the hardest, but once the momentum starts, look out!
We need heroes, we need true bi-partisan leadership to ferret out the areas we can work on together. We need to set aside our own agendas and stand together to improve our profession as a whole. As we help the EMS profession, we will help every participant in our profession and gain credibility on the state and national stage.
Matt Zavadsky, MHA, is director of Tri-State Ambulance Inc., a not-for-profit that is sole ALS provider for 2,200 square miles of western Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota. He has been involved in EMS for more than 25 years, managing both public- and private-sector organizations, and served as chair of the American Ambulance Association's Industry Image Committee. In addition, he is an adjunct faculty member the University of Central Florida's College of Health and Public Affairs, where he teaches courses in health-care economics and policy, ethics, managed care and U.S. health-care systems.

Camie has been kidnapped and Luffy and the others struggle to search the large archipelago before she can be sold forever into slavery. Sanji is desperate enough to call on the Flying Fish Riders for help.
— FUNimation
Opening Theme-
"We Are!" by TVXQ
Sanji is getting impatient waiting for Duval and the Flying Fish Riders. They eventually arrive, but Duval informs him that they have changed their name to the Rosy Life Riders. Sanji doesn't care and informs them that he called them because a mermaid was kidnapped. They are aghast at the idea of a kidnapping, but Usopp points out they used to do the very same thing.
Suddenly, Duval mentions he went to see some girls in town with his newly altered face. He tried to pick them up, but ran away laughing. Turns out Duval wasn't as popular as he though he would be. Sanji tells him that he could only fix his face. Not was was on the inside.
The topic gets back on track and and Sanji rides with Duval. Franky and Usopp ride with the others on the Flying Fish. Sanji asks how they are going to get the information they need, but Duval tells him that those in the same trade know each other well. As former professional kidnappers. He knows all the major players in the area. The others fly off and Sanji calls for full speed, but Duval tells him that his Motobalo is already at full speed, but it's more like a slow cruise.
At Sabaody Park, Chopper waits for Sanji and remembers he told him not to go anywhere. He tried to tell Luffy they should wait for Sanji, but true to form. Luffy didn't even wait to be told anything. He took Hatchan and Pappagu with him on a Bubble Bike to who knows where. Only Brook is still with him, but Brook seems to calm as if he doesn't realize what is happening. Brook explains to Chopper that they were told to wait. No matter how they act it will take the same amount of time. He thinks it's better to relax.
Usopp's group flies in and he is shocked by how at ease both Chopper and Brook are. Usopp knocks them both in the head and they are all off to pick up the other missing Straw Hat members.
Sanji is still with Duval at a snails pace as they keep moving forward. He wants to know why if he is the leader, why isn't he the fastest? Though Duval for some reason seems to of heard something different about his appearance.
At a hospital in Sabaody Archipelago, Zoro is taking the man who was shot by Charloss to get care. A doctor approaches, but seems to check for a collar first. This catches Zoro's attention about why a collar would matter. The doctor explains that treatment for slaves costs 50% more. He says it's often cheaper to just buy a new slave.
Zoro slams his sheathed sword down. He tells the doctor that this man is hurt, and that is all that matters. He asks the doctor rather forcefully if he plans to help or not. The doctor agrees.
Outside, Zoro sees rather disgusted with the island, and thinks it's about time to head back to the ship. He remembers the ship being parked at the #1 Grove, but he read it wrong before. It's actually #41 Grove. He is currently in #22 Grove.
Elsewhere. Luffy is searching the Human Shops for Camie the mermaid. The shop owner ties to tell them to stay out of such matters, but Luffy snatches the man by the collar and demands to know if anyone has tried to sell him a mermaid.
They look around to shop. There seems to be all kinds of people here to be sold.
The shop owner signals a guy smoking a cigar, and the man leaves somewhere. He approaches Luffy and the others and says he does have a mermaid to offer them. It turns out to be some man dress up as a fake mermaid. It was the man from earlier.
Luffy has now resorts to wander the streets calling out for Camie. The people and pirates in the streets recognize Luffy. Pappagu is crying immensely and blames himself. The amusement park is the perfect hunting ground for kidnappers. Luffy also remembers how happy Camie was in the ferris wheel, and he doesn't see any problem since it made her happy. Pappagu says it's dangerous for any mer-folk to come to this island. He only agreed because Hatchan was so determined to help Luffy. Hatchan cuts him off, but Luffy wants to know what is going on. Why it is that mer-folk can't come to these islands. Papaggu explains it isn't just kidnappers that are a danger to mer-folks. It's everyone here. The island's people have extreme prejudices against mer-folks.
In the malls of Sabaody Archipelago, it appears Robin has gathered information on the island and it's history. She tells Nami that it stretches back over two-hundred years. For some reason. mermaids and mer-folks were classified as merely fish and faced terrible persecution all over the world. This causes Nami to remember the Arlong Pirates that invaded her home in the East Blue. At how strong they are. Robin explains that the difference in numbers was just to great. No matter the power. This persecution had continued until there was some agreement what was made between the World Government and Fish-Man Island. Still, on the archipelago, the slave trade is quietly condoned.
Franky arrives to pick up Robin and Nami and to deliver he news of Camie's kidnapping.
Hatchan apologizes for causing Luffy just more trouble. Luffy tells Hatchan and Papaggu that there isn't a single reason for the to be sorry. he says they are his friends now, and he will save Camie.
Just then, the Rosy Life Riders appear to pick Luffy up. They jump on and head off to Camie's rescue.
At #1 Grove, There is the Human Auction House. the kidnapper Peterman delivers Camie to be sold. The top item was going to be a giant, but the worker is amazed to see a mermaid. Peterman leaves to get his money after the sale.
The Celestial Dragons, Roswald and Shalria are approaching the auction house. The worker requests that kneeling inside the auction house be put aside. Roswald agrees since it would make for such poor auctions. The worker leads them to the VIP seating.
Inside, Eustass Kid and his men are there to watch. He seems amused with the ideas of slavery and the Celestial Dragons. Jokingly, he asks Killer if they see someone interesting if they should buy them. One of his men points out that Trafalgar Law is also in the crowd.
One of the auction workers rushes into the office of the Auction House leader, Disco. he's there to tell him about the mermaid, Camie.
At the cages, Camie is struggling with her captures. One approaches with the collar, and Camie remembers how this kind of collar exploded on the man she saw earlier. She struggles even harder, calling for Hatchan.
Disco arrives to examine the new find. Defiant, Camie sticks her tongue out at Disco, and he smacks her to the ground for it. He tries to attack her more, but it held off to prevent the price being lowered due to injuries. She props herself up and screams that Hatchan will come and beat them all up bad. Disco calls to be the one to put the collar on her. One worker binds her to hold her still.
Just before the collar can be put on, a mysterious effect hits Disco. He just suddenly go into a panic and collapse. Inside the cages, a giant looks to an old bearded man with glasses. Saying it was Haki energy. The giant asks who he is, but the old man just says he is a Coating Craftsman, but on the screen it shows him to the the former first mate of the Pirate King Gold Roger, Silvers Rayleigh.

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 Alex!
Facts about Alex
- Breed: Boxer Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Alex's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Alex has been through a lot since he has been here. Mr. Alex was diagnosed with trigeminal neuritis also known as "jaw drop" a month ago. He has been doing mouth exercises with toys and working on growing his muscles.
Alex has been to Companion Pet Care and they think Alex could also have Masticatory Muscle Myositis. It would cost you $150 to do the testing to find out for sure. The treatment is inexpensive. Mr Alex would need to go on Prednisone or Cortisone. Both are affordable drugs. Masticatory Muscle Myositis prognosis is that Alex will have a degeneration of muscle tissue but there is no discomfort, it is not fatal, and it doesn't have any effect on his eating ability.
Other Pets at Bitter Root Humane Association
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Alex, a Hamilton Boxer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer for sale in Hamilton, or seeking a Boxer dog from a breeder in Hamilton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hamilton 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 Hamilton 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 Boxer breeders who help with Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hamilton paves the way for another one to be saved.

i've been reading this forum for the last couple of weeks, and have decided that i want to go organic on my lawn.
i have a problem with what i think is quack grass. i've been able to get rid of most of the crab grass that we have. half of our yard is covered with this thicker grass that won't die off (from chemicals... before i started reading here). we want to over seed this fall with KGB, i've changed the watering to longer and more infrequent. would over seeding help with the quack grass? or is it best to kill it off and start over from scratch? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You have to kill off the quack grass first. Its very aggressive and will likely take over you lawn if not treated. |
any suggestions as to how to kill it without killing off the rest of my lawn? |
If only a small area of the lawn is affected, you could try to dig out the quackgrass; but all the rhizomes must be removed because rhizomes as small as 1/2 in. can produce new growth if left in the soil. Frequent, close mowing can be an effective way to control quackgrass on lawns of bluegrass or fescue. |
