Most regulations applicable to National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awards are housed in Title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The Code of Federal Regulations is accessible through the National Archives and Records Administration. The following regulations may be of particular interest to NIFA awardees; however, the list is not all inclusive. Note that each regulation does not apply to each and every award. It is important to refer to the request for applications, the award document, or the content of the regulations for its applicability.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published two Federal Register Notices on Tuesday, May 11, 2004 (69 FR 26275 and 69 FR 26281). The Notices implement changes affecting the location of policy guidance for grants and other agreements.
In the first notice, OMB established a single title in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (i.e., title 2 of the CFR) along with two subtitles (i.e., subtitles A and B). Subtitle A of title 2 is to house OMB's guidance to Federal agencies for grants and agreements. Subtitle B of title 2 will house agency regulations implementing the OMB guidance.
By way of the second notice, OMB relocates the existing OMB Circular A-110 to title 2 in the CFR, subtitle A, chapter II, subchapter B, part 215.

Although this interim regulation became effective on August 1, 2008, NIFA is requesting comments on or before October 30, 2008.
That document contained an invalid E-mail address for the submission of comments. The correct address and comment submission instruction is: E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. Include Regulatory Information Number (RIN) number 0524-AA28 in the subject line of the message. The extended comment end period is October 30, 2008.

About Specimens Specimen Certificates are actual certificates that have never been issued. They were usually kept by the printers in their permanent archives as their only example of a particular certificate. Sometimes you will see a hand stamp on the certificate that says "Do not remove from file". Specimens were also used to show prospective clients different types of certificate designs that were available. Specimen certificates are usually much scarcer than issued certificates. In fact, many times they are the only way to get a certificate for a particular company because the issued certificates were redeemed and destroyed. In a few instances, Specimen certificates we made for a company but were never used because a different design was chosen by the company. These certificates are normally stamped "Specimen" or they have small holes spelling the word specimen. Most of the time they don't have a serial number, or they have a serial number of 00000. This is an exciting sector of the hobby that grown in popularity and realized nice appreciation in value over the past several years.

Future Shop unveils five useful tips to help prepare for Cyber Monday
Announcement Highlights:
1. Cyber Monday is the second biggest online sales event in Canada, drawing more than 1M visitors to Futureshop.ca. The deals drop at Futureshop.ca on Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 10 p.m. EST.
2. Door crasher deals will be offered on Futureshop.ca and available for viewing and purchase online or through Future Shop's mobile Apps, complete with free shipping on orders over $20.
3. Future Shop unveils five useful tips to help prepare for successful Cyber Monday shopping.
(Burnaby, BC) November 22, 2012 – When Future Shop, Canada's largest retailer and e-tailer of consumer electronics, pioneered Cyber Monday in Canada just three years ago, it was relatively unknown to shoppers north of the border. Today, Cyber Monday is the second largest online shopping day for Futureshop.ca next to Boxing Day. This day has become such a phenomenon in Canada over the past few years that Future Shop is anticipating to double Cyber Monday sales compared to 2011 and will attract more than one million online visitors to Futureshop.ca, searching out the best deals online from the comfort of their own home or office on Monday morning.
With less than a month's worth of shopping days left between Cyber Monday and Christmas, Future Shop is once again providing consumers with huge savings on Futureshop.ca and its mobile apps during its third annual Cyber Monday sale. Canadians can save big on the most popular gift-giving products from Future Shop, including tablets, laptops, digital cameras, video games, TVs and more. In addition to consumer electronics, Future Shop will also be offering deals on its expanded assortment of products online, such as furniture, travel and luggage and baby products. Shopping is easy with fast, free shipping on orders over $20*.
"Seventy per cent of our customers have heard of Cyber Monday, yet just 22 per cent purchased something in 2011," said Thierry Hay-Sabourin, of eCommerce, Future Shop. "This year, we're expecting our sales to double on Futureshop.ca thanks to our red-hot deals. In just three years, Cyber Monday has already become the second most trafficked day on our site next to Boxing Day."
To stay on top of this year's online-only offers, customers are encouraged to sign-up for Future Shop's e-newsletter and connect on Facebook and Twitter (@FS_Deals). A sneak peek of some of the 2012 Cyber Monday deals will be shared through the Future Shop newsletter this Friday. All deals will be disclosed Sunday, November 25 at Futureshop.ca/cybermonday.
Cyber Monday officially kicks off on Futureshop.ca this Sunday, November 25 at 10:00 p.m. EST, continuing through Tuesday, November 27 at 3:00 a.m. EST.
Future Shop offers the following top five tips for digital shopping success to get the most out of Cyber Monday:
· Create an account. Creating an account ahead of time and including details such as shipping and billing address on Futureshop.ca can save you time and help checkout faster. After creating an account, add items to your personal Wish List. Check the list frequently for deals on selected products and be prepared to Add to Cart when Cyber Monday strikes.
· Look for low price guarantees. Avoid buyer's remorse. Buy online from an authorized retailer who offers lowest price guarantees, such as Future Shop's new Price Beat Promise where if a customer finds a lower price on an item at another valid retailer, in-store or online, Future Shop will beat it by 10 per cent of the price difference at time of purchase.
· Consider shipping. Not all retailers offer fast, free shipping on Cyber Monday. Make the most of your savings by shopping at stores like Future Shop that offers free shipping on orders over $20.
· Use social networks to track deals. Future Shop's e-newletter, Twitter and Facebook are the most up-to-date platforms to find deals and promotions. Sign up for Future Shop's e-newsletter, or visit them online through Twitter account (@FS_Deals) and Facebook to stay updated with the best offers.

Miscellaneous KoOK Awards |
Barbara Woodhouse Memorial Dog-Whistle AwardNamed in honour of the skilful dog-trainer who became a British TV personality in the 1980s, this award is given jointly to the best trained net.kook in any given month and to his or her trainer. Possible examples of good training include obedience to one's owner's commands to reply to posts, and devotion in following one's owner around from group to group and through the Google archive. House-training, which, regrettably, is a rare accomplishment for a kook, isn't a prerequisite. Woof. |

Five Ways to Get Over the Functional Food Hurdle
K.I.S.S.—"Keep it simple, stupid!" Educate the beauty consumer on the ABCs of nutricosmetics and nutraceuticals through packaging, marketing and advertising. This is a brand new category for her and she needs a lot of information.
Communicate the safety of your product. Women want to know what they are ingesting is as safe as possible.
Stress the ease and convenience of on-the-go beauty or a once-a-day dietary supplement.
Emphasize and RE-EMPHASIZE the importance of a long-term commitment to the regimen for true beauty benefits.
Don't promise a magic potion. Overpromising and under delivering on efficacy is the kiss of death for your product.

Translate this page SANDAG report shows use of heroin on the rise in San Diego CountyFriday, September 6th, 2013 Issue 36, Volume 17.
The report by the San Diego Association of Governments Criminal Justice Research Division found that the portion of adult men and women booked into county jails who tested positive for opiates doubled between 2002 and 2012. Use of opiates, which include heroin, morphine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, and Codeine, went from 5 to 10 percent among men and 6 to 12 percent among women, the study found. "There is strong evidence that the recent increase in heroin use is driven in part by the growing abuse of prescription painkillers," said SANDAG Director of Criminal Justice Research Cynthia Burke. "From interviews with people in jail we learned that heroin is often used as a substitute for prescription opiates because it's relatively cheap and easy to obtain." She said drug use trends among inmates are a good barometer of what's happening with the wider population. "Our findings are consistent with other countywide statistics on the rise of heroin seizures, drug treatment admissions, and deaths due to heroin overdose," Burke said. "So it's critical to monitor and address this issue through a comprehensive strategy." Advertisement Young adults ages 18-24 were more likely to test positive for opiates than older adults for the first time last year, 14 percent compared to 12 percent for those 25-39 and 8 percent for those 40 and over, according to SANDAG. The study also found that: -- The percentage of inmates who reported having ever used heroin went from 17 in 2002 to 26 in 2012, and the portion of those who had used the drug in the 30 days before their arrest rose 16 points to 42 percent; -- 79 percent of those booked into jail said heroin was easy or very easy to get; -- 27 percent of those who ever tried heroin reported using prescription opiates before trying heroin, and 63 percent of them said heroin became a substitute, often because of increased availability and cheaper cost; -- Between 2007 and 2012, the number of annual seizures of heroin at San Diego County border crossings climbed from 111 to 470; -- The number of heroin overdose deaths rose from 57 in 2007 to 74 last year. The SANDAG study was based on interviews with 854 inmates at the Central Jail, Vista Detention Facility and Las Colinas Women's Detention Facility. 4 comments
It's a shame that the lessons learned not even 20 years ago have been forgotten. Kurt Cobain is the poster child for avoiding heroin and its cousins.
God forbid you use Pot for pain. I mean the number of deaths has risen from.....oh..wait...
This article is about opiates, not marijuana. Please keep your comments relevant to the topic at hand. Thanks. @vc bookkeeper: that's not how it works. People will continuing doing heroine until the end of time.
@@joemamma, my comment was absolutely relevant. And the point was short and sweet. There is no need to go into a long drawn out comparison of the two, I think most intelligent people out there understand what I was saying. What are you the FVN blog police? What right do you have to tell me what to post? Many people who comment on here have many different points of view, and that's alright. There is no need to be nasty or curt, we are all neighbors. |

UHV lobbying money stays untouched
By By Brian M. Cuaron
May 3, 2011 at 12:03 a.m.
Updated May 4, 2011 at 12:04 a.m.
City Attorney Thomas Gwosdz gave the city's position on Tuesday regarding the Keith Redburn case that involved a five-ton concrete wall in front of a storm sewer culvert.
On Feb. 4, 1941, the former property owner wrote to the city council that he would assume responsibility for all damage to his property from the storm sewer when he got the right to build a fence. Since Redburn bought the property "as is," he assumed that responsibility also, Gwosdz said.
State law won't allow the city to use public funds to benefit a private individual. So the city can't "cosmetically" cleanup of the storm sewer, historically known as "Phillip's ditch," Gwosdz said.
The city also has tried to work with Redburn in maintaining it, Gwosdz said. However, according to Gwosdz, Redburn hasn't followed up on those offers. Former city attorney David Smith offered in a letter dated March 28, 2008, to look into cleaning some of the trees and brush in the storm sewer. Gwosdz said he, too, made a similar offer to Redburn's attorney Norman Jones last summer.
Money set aside to lobby for legislation changing the University of Houston-Victoria into a Texas A&M University school has remained untouched, politically and fiscally.
Victoria Councilman David Hagan tried to pass a motion Tuesday that would've rescinded the unspent $100,000 the city and the Victoria Sales Tax Development board allocated for the lobbying. Yet that money can't be rescinded unless the development board also votes to do so.
Hagan acknowledged that point after the council meeting and said his motion was all about sending a message.
"I don't want to throw good money at an issue that's dead," Hagan said. "(The legislation) will never be passed in the current form it's drafted."
Hagan was referring to comments made by state Sen. Glenn Hegar, whose district includes Victoria County. Those comments included that he didn't support the legislation. He also cited Rep. Dan Branch, chairman of the Texas House Committee on Higher Education, who said the Legislature currently doesn't have time to deal with the proposed changeover.
Not all agreed that the legislation was dead. Mayor Will Armstrong said the scheduled visits by the chancellors of the University of Houston and Texas A&M systems in June showed that the issue was still alive.
Armstrong and other supporters of the changeover said they also wanted to send a message by keeping the $100,000 available to the Victoria Economic Development Corp.
"It's a symbol or message to those in Austin that we are serious about this," Councilman Paul Polasek said.
Hagan's motion failed 5-2, with he and Councilman Gabriel Soliz supporting the measure.

Tonight: Timon Balloo Cooks a Five-Course Meal at His Own Banquet
Categories: Food Charity
"It's going to be my first time back to the school in almost eight years ... You know, it went from being two blocks and a parking lot to a few blocks now and a parking lot," he said. "It's really nice to see it grow into an entity in Florida."
Balloo will even be cooking at his event. He has prepared a five-course tasting menu and pre-event activities included demonstrations for the students and working seminars earlier this week. "It's so the students can see what the chef's capabilities are after leaving such a great institution," Balloo said.
He worked for free at the Hotel Metropole in Belgium, continued training in the field with big names like Michelle Bernstein and at big places like Azul.
The guy's got gravitas. He says his about the culinary scene in Miami, "I really think our chefs are yearning to gravitate with each other."
He later told us he's extremely proud of events like Chef's Club (at 1500 Degrees) and Dinner with Friends at Sugarcane, where chefs gather and simply have an easy, good time.
The dinner takes place tonight at 7 and if the idea of spending a good $85 in someone's honor to help raise funds, RSVP to 305-892-7578.

The flu is decidedly not the only terrible bug going around this season. Call it the crud if you will, but whatever this unnamed thing is – it's terrible. Many of us who haven't so much as wheezed or sneezed in ages are now coughing and hacking or giving breathing treatments to our children.
Babies have the hardest time because their cough muscles aren't as effective at clearing mucus from the airways. Try using this time-honored percussion therapy technique to help dislodge mucus plugs. Position your baby on your lap or shoulder as you would if you were going to burp the baby. Instead of using a flat hand to burp the baby, form a shallow cup with your hand and pat the baby's back a little harder than you would to bring up a bubble.
You'll hear a difference in the sound between a flat and a cupped hand when patting the baby's back. Try practicing on your thigh. It should sound a little more hollow as opposed to the thud of a flat hand. Use enough force to help knock mucus plugs out but not hard enough to hurt the baby. Done correctly, the baby will not resist this therapy.
But be ready! When the mucus plug does come up, it's not pretty. Might want to place a towel on the floor…
While I've got you, have you taken the Allergy & Asthma Today Reader Survey? If not, and you read AAT on a quarterly basis, would you please take a moment to do so right now? If you don't already receive AAT magazine but would like to, just click here and complete the ordering form.

Plasencia Accessories And Samplers Reviews
Showing 1 through 10 of 19 reviews
The Ultimate Plasencia Sampler
"Great Smoke! Great Price!"
The Ultimate Plasencia Sampler
I orders these for my husband we are on a budget and couldn't beat the price. My husband loved each one he smoked so much that he had me order two more packs.
Sue in Califorina September 18, 2013
"A bundle of cigars that do not sell."
The Ultimate Plasencia Sampler
You would think that I am crazy, I recieved this sampler for free with a purchase. You should not compain for free, right?.
After looking at the 63 dollar purchase price I want to speak up and perhaps save some folks their money.
This is a collection of cigars that do not sell, they are tasteless, and I would not rate one ofthem higher than a 80, most in the lower 70s. If you are buying you may want to make another selection. Most of the cigars appear to be the "corona" to "petit corona" size. I for one would never buy them.
Ronald in San Antonio, TX September 7, 2012
"Good buy for price"
The Ultimate Plasencia Sampler
I think this is a must buy for the price that famous smoke gives you. The cigars in this sampler are all good and i enjoyed each of them and so did my friends!
Joseph in Chicago June 27, 2012
"I'm buying 'em again - for the 3rd time!"
The Ultimate Plasencia Sampler
As mild samplers go - this one is one of the best - both in terms of value and price. I'm really pleasesd and surprised just how tasty the LaFloridita Premiums are. The Plasencia Reserva Organica are the best with the Pai Gow being the weakest (I don't like sweetness in my cigars :-( The La Campina are also pleasantly tasty. I've had no trouble with burn or construction. I've poured over all the various 'sampler deals' from both Famous and Thompson and this one wins hands down. The problem with these reviews is what I call the 'Yelp Syndrom'- the way to balance them is by throwing out the best and the worst reviews and figure the truth is somewhere in the middle :-)
Mark B in Atlanta November 30, 2011
"Great smoke for under 2 bucks"
'Best Of Plasencia' Sampler #2
Great smoke for under 2 bucks, match's some five dollar name brands cigars.
Tom T. in New Jersey November 9, 2011
"Pleasure Puff, thats what it is."
The Ultimate Plasencia Sampler
Beware samplers I was told by cigar freinds.But Famous has some of the most incredible tasting cigars for the price.Never thought I'd find this kind of deal.
Bryce L in Oregon October 23, 2011
"Not worth the money"
'Best Of Plasencia' Sampler #1
Four cigars in this sampler were ok. The rest were plain nasty.
Johnny Z in Norris Lake Tn September 30, 2011
"worth every penny!"
The Ultimate Plasencia Sampler
Great value and even better cigars. I would recommend these for novices to the most seasoned cigar smokers even if not just for the great value!
chris in ma September 26, 2011
"Worth the money!"
The Ultimate Plasencia Sampler
A lot of mild ones in here. Most of them burned well, and the draw was good.
Worth the money.
Ric in Dayton, Ohio September 19, 2011
"Not bad but not good either, plain and tasteless"
Just not a great bunch of cigars. Lack flavor. Contruction was good but beyond that nothing much to say.
Don in Wshington state September 12, 2011

Waiting For The Rain LyricsArtist: Bill MillerAlbum: Ghostdance like two flowers on an old gravestone like two leaves tumblin' in the wind i€m searchin€ for a beginning that has no end and i'm rollin' with the thunder still waitin' for the rain rollin' with the thunder still waitin' for the rain like two boots in a salvation army store like two sailors out lookin' for a whore two broken windows in a burned out van i€m a fugitive lookin' for a one-armed man two rings in an old pawn shop two dusty winos cussin' out a cop two tumbleweeds blowin' across the plain we€re all dry seeds just waitin' for the rain

Reviews - Moorland Hotel
3 | Self Classified Hotel | Ratings explained |
It is the ideal centre for touring this beautiful and very interesting part of South Devon. Well located for our corporate guests too. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle, but only 20 minutes from the centre of Plymouth.
Rising from the ashes is our Phoenix Steakhouse serving mouth-watering local Devon steaks cooked on our char grill. Cornish Landed Fish such as Bass also feature regularly on our menu, along with British Pork and Westcountry Lamb.
Our superb kitchen works its magic with fresh ingredients to create dishes to remember.
Hospitality and comfort is the keynote of this Establishment and is personally supervised to by its Resident Proprietress.

Dominic Ford: Robert Van Damme and Skye Woods
Robert Van Damme is so van damme hot. Honestly. When you meet him all you want to do is tear his clothes off. His skin is perfect and his body is so tight and perfectly proportioned.
In this 25-minute video, RVD gets to fuck the muscle-bound Skye Woods. Skye's body is a muscle-worshipper's dream. Amazingly, he can do the splits even though his legs are bigger than Dominic's entire body.

Protected by mountains, gracefully lined with rivers and dotted with lakes and ponds, the Monadnock Region has captured in its midst, the nostalgia of years gone by.
Nestled amongst the security of the land are towns and villages where historic town halls and meeting houses continue to echo the voices of town meetings and resound to the beat of square, contra and line dancing.
In the Monadnock Region, folks picnic on emerald green commons flanked with white steepled churches and walk down streets lined with buildings dating to an era past. Even the wildlife, moose, deer, fox, coyote, wild turkey and bear, seem oblivious to the urbanized world which resides just over the mountains.
Overseeing the area and rising 3,165 feet above sea level is Mt. Monadnock, the most climbed mountain in the world without vehicular access. Under the protection of Monadnock State Park, more than 40 miles of trails wind across the mountain's landscape. Majestic stone walls remain as the only boundary sign of the farm pastures which once covered this forested land.
A paradise for the outdoor lover, the Monadnock Region abounds with year-round recreational possibilities, not just on Monadnock, but on many other mountains in the area as well.
Temple Mountain, Crotched Mountain and Pack Monadnock along with their smaller neighbors, Bald Mountain in Hancock, Gap Mountain in Jaffrey and Pitcher Mountain in Stoddard are covered with miles of trails for walking, hiking, mountain biking and cross-country skiing. The Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway connects Mt. Monadnock and Mt. Sunapee and traverses the region, as do the Metacomet and Wapack Trails. Numerous dirt roads and old carriage lanes provide additional terrain for recreating.
Groomed cross-country trails are found in many varied locations including Windblown in New Ipswich and Temple Mountain in Temple, which also provides downhill skiing. Sargent Camp in Peterborough, and Woodbound Inn in Jaffrey provide additional ski touring terrain.
The Monadnock Region is blessed with thousands of acres of protected land. In addition to Monadnock State Park, fishing, camping and snowmobiling can be enjoyed in Greenfield State Park. Other state parks in the area include Miller, Pisgah, Rhododendron, as well as the preserved lands of Annett State Forest, Fox State Forest and Shieling Forest in Peterborough. Numerous ponds and lakes offer sanctuary to boaters, fishermen and folks wishing a refreshing swim.
Cultural events are well repre-sented in The Monadnock Area. Providing entertainment and an outlet for those of you who like to perform, community theatres are found in Peterborough, Francestown and Antrim. Professional summer theater is offered by the Peterborough Players in Peterborough and in Milford at The American Stage Festival. Children may not only perform, but enjoy performances by their peers at Andy's Summer Playhouse in Wilton.
A variety of excellent cultural performances are sponsored by Franklin Pierce College in Rindge and Keene State College in neighboring Keene. If you enjoy the visual arts, the area easily fulfills these requirements as well. Numerous galleries display local crafts and art work and The Sharon Arts Center not only exhibits the art work and crafts of local artists, but additionally offers courses and lectures.
Educational and intellectual stimulation is found in the programs of The Monadnock Summer Lyceum in Peterborough and The Amos Fortune Forum in Jaffrey.
The hills of Monadnock do indeed resound with the sound of music. The Temple Band, founded in 1799, is this country's oldest continuously performing town band. Blues music pours from The Rynborn in Antrim, and Del Rossi's in Dublin hosts a variety of musical performers.
Classical music is also abundant. The internationally acclaimed Apple Hill Chamber Players present a variety of programs. Professional performers join together at The Monadnock Music series for concerts of chamber music, symphony and opera. And The Monadnock Chorus, which has entertained audiences since the 1960's, has traveled internationally to share the music of its talented volunteer members.
While The Monadnock Area has a rich cultural climate and an innate natural beauty, it is the historic towns and villages of the Monadnock Region which continue to provide a quiet solace for the visitor and resident alike. Though each town has encountered vast growth and change, the quality of life in this sequestered corner of New England remains one of quiet nurturing. As did their predecessors, residents of each town foster a sense of community which extends to neighboring towns.
The Abenakis, Native Americans of the Algonquin tribe, were the first to call the region home. By the 1600's pioneers began to settle the area and faced the challenges of weather and uncharted land with a determination inherent to New Englanders.
In 1760, Peterborough became the first town to be incorporated in the region. By the turn of the nineteenth century, Peterborough was a prosperous mill town producing lumber, paper, textiles and baskets and was home to the first mill to weave cloth mechanically.
In 1824, the building which is now the Unitarian church was erected and a few years later in 1833, the citizens of Peterborough built the first free library in this country to be supported by taxation. The offices of BYTE, the world famous computer magazine published by McGraw Hill, reside in the building which in the 1800's housed another prominent town business, The American Guernsey Cattle Club. The MacDowell Colony, dating to 1908, remains a refuge for writers, artists and composers. Built in 1918, the Peterborough Town House was patterned after Boston's Faneuil Hall, and the lovely All Saints Church was constructed of Peterborough granite in 1923.
Today Peterborough is the second largest town in the area and remains a commercial and cultural hub. The town provides an extensive recreational department for all ages and residents are active in civic and community organizations. Monadnock Community Hospital serves area residents with medical and related services.
Just south of Peterborough, the village of New Ipswich was incorporated in 1762 and was the site of the original mills for cording, spinning and the weaving of cotton and wool. In 1810 the Wilder Chair Factory was renown for the production of spindle back, wooden seated chairs with more than 40 designs. Built during this same period, The Barrett House stands as a prime example of Federalist architecture. The Georgian and Colonial architecture of New Ipswich remains an attraction for visitors to the area.
Wilton, which has one of the oldest town landfills converted to a recycling center in the state, was also incorporated in 1762. Located on the banks of the Souhegan river, residents often watch films in the historic town hall. Just outside of Wilton and listed in The National Register, Frye's Measure Mill offers tours, museum areas and a gift shop where browsers can buy hand forged ironware, reproductions of colonial tinware, wood products and many other mementos of yesteryear.
1768 was a busy year with the incorporation of three towns, Temple, Rindge and the quaint and secluded village of Mason, once the home of our nation's symbolic relative, 1812 war veteran "Uncle Sam".
Temple lacked the water power necessary for mills but in the late 1700's became known for its glass works. The hand blown Temple glass is now considered to be quite rare. Temple is home to the oldest town band in the country.
Rindge, a popular vacation spot with numerous lakes and ponds, is also an educational center. Franklin Pierce College welcomes the public to its musical, theatrical and cultural events. The Cathedral Of The Pines, an inter-denominational outdoor shrine, attracts thousands of visitors a year.
Situated at 1,493 feet above sea level, the tiny village of Dublin was incorporated in 1771. Named after Dublin, Ireland, the area has always attracted writers, artists and vacationers to a region where Mt. Monadnock reflects its image onto the pristine waters of Dublin Lake.
Standing guard in the center of Dublin is a historic granite structure housing the "oldest public library in the United States supported by private funds." Two publications which portray the true essence of New England, "Yankee Magazine" and "The Old Farmers Almanac" are published from the village center.
The next year, Francestown, a village of equal charm to Dublin, was incorporated. The quarries of Francestown once supplied New England with soap stone used for sinks, stoves, hearths, mantels and for other home and industrial purposes. Today meeting houses dating from 1773 and 1801 stand among the lovely Federal style houses.
Hillsborough, the northernmost town in the region, was the birthplace of the 14th president, Franklin Pierce. Though the first area settled, Hillsborough was not incorporated until 1772. During this period, the mill town produced wool, cotton, hosiery and underwear.
Jaffrey, now the largest town in the area and Fitzwilliam, renown for its town common and antique shops, were incorporated in 1773.
Jaffrey considers itself the home of Mt Monadnock and the views of the mountain west of the town are a graphic illustration of why. Jaffrey is a thriving economic and business center with the grand historic charm of two hundred year old meeting houses and a grist mill turned textile factory which is listed in the National Historic Register.
Fitzwilliam, with its steepled town hall and stately Fitzwilliam Inn, was in the 1800's one of the busiest rock quarrying centers in New Hampshire. 43 of the then 250 residents of Fitzwilliam died fighting in the War of Independence.
In the early 1700's, Scots who had migrated from Ireland settled in Antrim. The town was not incorporated until 1777, but maintained the original name from Antrim, Ireland. The former mill town is a haven for water recreation, hiking and cross-country skiing.
Named for John Hancock, the first governor of Massachusetts and signer of The Declaration of Independence, Hancock was incorporated in 1779. The Town Meeting House, which now houses a church and pre-school, is said to have a bell cast by Paul Revere. The picturesque town is the home of The Hancock Inn, a wayside for weary travelers and hungry folks for more than two hundred years. In Hancock one can pick apples, cut a Christmas tree or visit the Harris Conservation Center.
Settled as part of Peterborough, the tiny community of Sharon was incorporated in 1791. Once known as Sliptown, lumbering and farming were the occupations of the earliest settlers. Now primarily residential, town meetings are held in a one room school house built in 1833. The Sharon Arts Center, showcasing and selling works of local artists and craftsmen, is located here.
In the historic town center of Greenfield, incorporated in 1791, stands the oldest original meeting house which served both church and state. Named for the fertile land encased between two mountains, Greenfield is a year-round recreational area with Greenfield State Park and its clear Otter Lake. Greenfield's Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center is renown for its educational, rehabilitative and therapeutic programs.
In 1815, the village of Troy was incorporated. The Troy Blanket Mills was the major industry of a town now noted for its picturesque village green. Today, the Troy Mills produces a variety of products including textiles for automobiles.
Originally part of Hancock, the mill town of Bennington was incorporated in 1842 and named to commemorate the Revolutionary War Battle of Bennington, Vermont. The town's heritage lives on at The Monadnock Paper Mills, the oldest continually operating mill of its kind in the United States, which now produces speciality paper.
Harrisville, on the banks of Nubanusit Pond, represents one of the best preserved water-powered New England mill towns. A favorite of painters and photographers, the entire town center is a National Historic Landmark. Settled in the mid-1700's, Harrisville was not incorporated until 1870, making the town one of the youngest in the area. Today, Harrisville Designs manufactures looms and runs a weaving school.
The youngest town in the area is Greenville, incorporated in 1872. This community, situated close to the Massachusetts border, sports a town center whose many historic residences are clustered on the hillside.
Each and every town in the Monadnock Region shares a special piece of history. Add the quintessential New England beauty, recreational resources, cultural, entertainment and employment opportunities, it is easy to see why the "quiet corner" is a special area to live or visit. An easy province to call home, once you "experience" the region, you may never want to leave.

Barack Obama tries to gain momentum on health care plan |
President Barack Obama sought on Tuesday to build momentum for his health care reforms by highlighting a handful of businesses that have reined in skyrocketing health care costs through aggressive programs designed to make their workforces healthier. Afterward, Obama said he was having the administration look into programs for federal employees that would emphasize wellness — including smoking cessation, exercise and healthy eating. The aim is to lower cholesterol and stave off chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease. "As a result of many successful programs at businesses across the country, workers have become more engaged in their own health care, productivity is increasing, absenteeism is dropping and employers are passing some of their health care savings to their workers," the White House said in a fact sheet. "Employers are discovering that improving quality of care can reduce health care costs. Small actions in the workplace can generate large benefits." |

Nottingham gay escorts have a very hectic work schedule. There is no denying about it. Back-to-back clients, crazy working hours, weird situations, difficult clients, are just some of the reasons why Nottingham gay escorts are so stressed out. Yes, they do enjoy a bountiful life with luxury and comfort coming their way. But that's all a part of their work. What do Nottingham gay escorts do to make themselves happy?
Well, first of all, Nottingham gay escorts deserve a break. They have to make it a point to take a day off at least once a week. They cannot go on working continuously for weeks together. This will adversely affect their body, mind and soul. Hence Nottingham gay escorts should take a break, and what do they do in their off day? Well it all depends on what he likes to do. They should do everything to pamper not only their mind but also their spirit. Since their crazy work schedule leaves them with very little time to take care of themselves, they should have the luxury of getting a full body massage. They can also hit the spa and spend the entire day there getting all the aroma treatment, massages and revitalizing therapies.
These methods will definitely revitalize their mind, ease their stressed out muscles and give them peace. So all Nottingham gay escorts must take a break and do something that they lie to do best.

Franklin - Police arrested a 51-year-old Racine man in connection with the theft of a tractor-trailer filled with scrap brass Dec. 12, 2011. He was taken into custody in Racine on Dec. 28 after a year-long investigation by the Franklin Police Department culminated in a warrant for his arrest.
According to the Franklin police report:
The man is accused of stealing a tractor-trailer from Dalor Transport, 6005 W. Ryan Road, shortly before 9 a.m. Dec. 12, 2011. The tractor was found abandoned at a Citgo station in Zion, Ill., three days later.
The truck had been hauling a 53-foot enclosed trailer loaded with 42,235 pounds of scrap brass. The trailer and its contents, valued at more than $113,000, were not found.
He was arrested for theft and is being held in the Milwaukee County Criminal Justice Facility.

James: Why do school boards come up with these egregious spending increases? Because through history, the odds are that the taxpayers (the ones who vote) have proven that they will have no problem voting themselves a tax increase. The school boards know it and don't need to go any further to control spending. They blame everyone but themselves for why spending must increase, and they get away with it because most people don't challenge their decisions. Those who do are thought of as the perennial complainers and generally ignored. The tax cap is a joke, as is most of the other phony rhetoric from the politicians about school spending and cost to taxpayers. The ones who complain the most are the ones who can least afford the taxes, but are over-ruled by those who don't mind paying the taxes, and by those who just don't care one way or another. The problem will not be addressed until the majority of taxpayers want change. Until then......
Politics prevails again in Niskayuna school district
Politics prevails again in Niskayuna school district
Each year, Niskayuna Teacher's Association [NTA] invites Board of Education candidates to its Executive Board meeting for a chance to gain its endorsement.
However, first-term candidate Rosemarie Jaquith failed to receive an invitation to the May 7 meeting, and the NTA endorsed the other two candidates, including Board of Education president, Deb Oriola, who supported last year's failed budget and is responsible for a series of other questionable decisions this year.
Jaquith learned that her letter invitation was sent to the wrong address, despite her correct address being on file with the district. She asked for another opportunity to meet in person with the NTA before it made its decision, but was denied that opportunity.
How can the NTA make a credible Board of Education endorsement without properly inviting and meeting with all candidates? Many Niskayuna teachers and parents, like us, strongly support Rosemarie Jaquith for Board of Education due to her background and experience, including years of dedicated PTO and district committee service. Rosemarie will be a strong advocate for teachers and students in the current climate, and is worthy of NTA's endorsement.
It appears behind-the-scenes politics prevailed once again in Niskayuna.

Duanesburg provides more reasons not to run for school board
"Doing a good job" was one of the reasons given for the lack of interest in two local Board of Education seats, as well as the fact that people are too busy, the thanklessness of the commitment and the fiscal environment [May 5 Gazette].
I would like to pose a potential challenge to the assumption people believe their boards are "doing a good job." In May 2013, the news story about the Duanesburg school district and the questionable dissolution of an advanced organic-chemistry class was printed. An advanced-learning opportunity was taken from six students who appeared before the Board of Education and begged the board to continue their class.
The superintendent posted to the school website that the class was too hard and students weren't ready for it. Ironically the class in question was presented to, and accepted by, the Duanesburg Board of Education, which included a current senator who is on the committee for education — twice!
In 2010, $3 million was stolen from the Duanesburg school account and $497,200 was never retrieved. Last year at the Board of Education's "Meet the Candidates" night, an incumbent was asked if his wife was still suing the district.
If these things aren't enough to discourage a person from running for a Board of Education seat, I don't know what is. Could it be that people just aren't going to support or partake in the "politics" anymore?

Changes needed in Ballston Spa school district
What gives with the Ballston Spa Central School District's Board of Education and administration?
I can't begin to imagine how they can justify a nearly 6 percent increase in spending in their proposed 2014-15 school year budget. Nor can I understand how they rationalize a nearly 5 percent increase in the tax levy. This is absurd considering current economic conditions, or any other circumstances.
What needs to be explained is how the additional revenue generated by the existence of GlobalFoundaries within the district's borders has been applied. It's the same old story: more money, more spending. How about some tax relief? Board President Jeanne Obermayer should be voted out. The budget should be defeated.
And please, board and administration, don't insult the voting public's intelligence by telling us it is all for the kids.
James E. Callahan
Ballston Spa
Anne and Michael, the purpose of a union is to fight for increases in salary and benefits, and for better workplace conditions for its members. That is it.
The Niskayuna Teachers' Association is a union and has no place endorsing Board of Education candidates. It should not be encouraged to do so.
The Niskayuna Teachers' Association will be negotiating salary and benefit increases with the Board of Education soon.
When persons at the other side of the bargaining table are beholding to a union that endorsed them, their ability to negotiate in good faith for the interests of students and taxpayers is diminished.
I fail to see how Deb Oriola voting to table closing a school is a "questionable decision" since the superintendent did not inform the board of a policy that needed to be followed in order to close a school. The superintendent is obligated to do this not the board telling her as per a policy on the books. Litigation would have ensued. Deb Oriola was one of the few board members last year who did not want to extend said Superintendents contract which should have expired June, 2014 instead 4 board members (one of whom was not re elected last year and should not have voted at all) voted to extend the contract until June 2015. Deb O realized the ramifications of closing a school after all. And what about that basketball coach who was not reinstated?? Well, he used questionable language around the children and Deb O as well as 3 other board members did not think it acceptable to him to continue. Go figure! We denounce bullying for children but accept it from the teachers? I don't think so. RPJ felt it acceptable to use Niska Day to further her campaign by riding in a float and handing out frisbees to children who don't even vote.

Kenya's election outcome in doubt
Rival won't concede Kenyatta's close win
March 10, 2013 12:00 AMNAIROBI, Kenya -- Kenya's election commission on Saturday declared Uhuru Kenyatta, the son of Kenya's first president and a suspect in a case involving crimes against humanity, to be the winner of the country's presidential race amid growing allegations of vote fraud and a refusal by the other leading contender to concede.
Mr. Kenyatta, who has been accused by prosecutors at the International Criminal Court in The Hague of bankrolling death squads during Kenya's last election crisis, cleared the 50 percent threshold and avoided a runoff by the thinnest of margins, about 8,000 votes out of 12 million, or .07 percent.
Mr. Kenyatta's trial is set for July, which means that Kenya, one of the United States' closest allies on the African continent, soon could have a president commuting back and forth from The Hague in the Netherlands, simultaneously trying to run a country and keep himself from being jailed for years.
Mr. Kenyatta has said he is innocent and that he will cooperate with the court, but in his acceptance speech Saturday he signaled that he wanted the world to back off.
"We recognize and accept our international obligations," he said. "However, we also expect that the international community will respect the sovereignty and the democratic will of the people of Kenya."
But it is not clear whether Kenya's election is really over. The second-place finisher, Prime Minister Raila Odinga, has refused to admit defeat and plans to appeal to Kenya's Supreme Court to overturn the results, which some independent observers said were suspicious. Mr. Odinga said there had been "rampant illegality" and "massive tampering" with the vote-tallying process, the same problem that happened in 2007 during Kenya's last election. Mr. Odinga narrowly lost that vote, and Kenya exploded in political violence.
"We thought this would never happen again," he said, referring to the fraud allegations.
But he urged his supporters to stay calm.
"We don't want riots, property damage or any other kind of disturbance," Mr. Odinga said. "Any violence now could destroy this nation forever."
Some of Mr. Odinga's strongholds, like the sprawling Kibera slum, were tense Saturday. Police officers in helmets prowled the streets as groups of young men glared at television sets, many still visibly dumbfounded by the election results, but there were no reports of major violence.
Mr. Kenyatta's victory, after a heated race, poses unique challenges for the Obama administration, which increasingly relies on Kenya as a strategic partner in a volatile region, yet, at the same time, has pledged to support the International Criminal Court, though the United States is not a member.
In the weeks before the election, the top U.S. official for Africa issued a thinly veiled warning that "choices have consequences" and some Western diplomats in Kenya indicated that they would keep their distance from Mr. Kenyatta, currently a deputy prime minister, should he win. Many analysts predict that the coming months will be an awkward time for U.S.-Kenya relations, unexpected, perhaps, considering that Kenya was the birthplace of President Barack Obama's father and a place Mr. Obama has written fondly about.
The International Criminal Court -- and the perception that Western countries were lining up against Mr. Kenyatta -- seems to have been a galvanizing factor in this election, driving Mr. Kenyatta's supporters to the polls in a tsunami-like force. In some constituencies, especially in the areas of his Kikuyu ethnic group, he won 98 percent of the vote.
"Kenyans may be tribalists, but we are also nationalists," said Edward Kirathe, a real estate developer and a passionate Kenyatta supporter. "If someone from the outside tells you not to select someone, then that is the person you go and select."
Mr. Kenyatta's running mate, William Ruto, one of Kenya's most charismatic politicians, who is in line to become deputy president, has also been charged by the International Criminal Court with crimes against humanity, accused of sponsoring gangs of young men who hunted down supporters of his political opponents in 2007 and early 2008.
On Saturday, Nairobi, Kenya's capital, was split between scenes of jubilation and scenes of grief.
On River Road, in downtown Nairobi, pickup trucks chugged through the streets, loaded with Kenyatta supporters draped in red -- Kenyatta's campaign color. In Uhuru Park (uhuru means freedom in Swahili, which is how Mr. Kenyatta got his name, because he was born shortly before Kenya's independence in 1963; his father, Jomo Kenyatta, was its first president), thousands of supporters waved freshly chopped branches, turning a parade ground into a sea of piney-smelling green.
But the mood could not have been more different in Kibera, where thousands of Mr. Odinga's supporters live in sheet-metal shacks. Many young men were huddled on the street corners, simmering with disappointment and anger.
This election was always expected to be close. Polls had showed Mr. Odinga, 68, and Mr. Kenyatta, 51, neck and neck. Both won many fans outside their ethnic groups (Mr. Odinga is a Luo) but much of their support came from their ethnic strongholds where in some places nearly every single voter voted for his or her favorite.
It seems Mr. Kenyatta's vast family fortune, estimated to be around $500 million, definitely helped, with so many parts of Nairobi and smaller towns literally painted red with "UHURUTO" campaign posters and towering billboards. Mr. Kenyatta's father, Jomo, appropriated hundreds of thousands of acres of the choicest tracts of land across the country, planting deep grievances among other ethnic groups. But Mr. Odinga is no pauper, either. His father, Jaramogi, was Kenya's first vice president, and the Odingas have vast holdings, too.
On election day, this past Monday, millions of voters flooded into polling places, some waiting 10 hours in line, with no food or drink. Most observers said the voting itself went fine. But problems began to crop up as soon as the polls closed and the newfangled vote transmission system, in which results were supposed to be relayed via encrypted text messages, crashed. The election commission then spent the next four days tabulating results manually, which spawned all sorts of conspiracy theories and paralyzed this country, because many Kenyans stayed at home, away from school and work, awaiting the results.

I'm not looking too good and worried about scarring.
BH said he would bring home silvadene but I said no thanks because I believe it causes discoloration (greyish?) and is not supposed to be used on the face.
Would biafine be good?
It's been a long time since I did any wound or burn care so I'm not up to date.
I edit often because I make a lot of typos. ☺

It Begins: One Game, One Sox Pitcher Bitching About Valentine
DETROIT — Red Sox reliever Mark Melancon, summoned into start of the bottom of the ninth inning, suggested that he was slightly surprised by the rapidity with which he was pulled from his team's contest against the Tigers. Melancon recorded a hard-hit out, then allowed a pair of soft singles to Jhonny Peralta and Alex Avila to put runners on first and second with one out. At that point, manager Bobby Valentine made the move to closer Alfredo Aceves. Asked whether it felt like a quick hook, Melancon acknowledged, "Yeah, it did. It felt a little quick. But that's not my job. My job is to get outs and I didn't do that. I'm not going to think any more about that. I'm just going to continue to try to get outs and get after it."
So to recap: the Sox have one loss, which is nothing to worry about. With one bullpen meltdown, which is also nothing to worry about. And one reliever second-guessing the manager, which is… well it's not good. And when said reliever is 0-1, let 2-of-3 hitters reach base and has a small-sample 27.00 ERA and he's already undermining his boss, that is not a good look. I refuse to overreact to the first month of the season, let alone the first game. But with got Josh Beckett skipping the team bus for his own limo, Aceves allegedly all pissed off about not being in the rotation and now Melancon bitching about how he's getting used, this is starting to feel eerily familiar. @JerryThornton1

Advanced Bronchoscopy Avoids Need for Invasive Lung Surgery
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that allows a physician to see inside the lungs and collect small tissue samples to diagnose lung disease and lung cancer.
Surgeons are now able to access lesions located deep in the lungs, as well as mediastinal lymph nodes, without open surgery. With a new minimally invasive tool called SuperDimension Bronchoscope, if small tumors are seen, they can be removed during the procedure.
Physicians can make early diagnoses of benign and malignant lung lesions, providing more treatment options and avoiding the need for higher risk procedures.
Lobectomy/Wedge Resection
If removal of all or part of the lung is indicated during the bronchoscopy, it can generally be accomplished using minimally invasive surgery.
With this advanced, minimally invasive technology, surgeons can see into complex airways in the lung.
ENB allows physicians to diagnose, stage and treat lesions all in one procedure. It provides the ability to detect lung cancer earlier — even before symptoms are evident — increasing treatment options for patients.
Traditional bronchoscopy cannot reach distant regions of the lung where more than two-thirds of all lung lesions are found. Because ENB can get into these hard-to-reach areas, it minimizes the need for invasive surgical procedures.
Surgeons collaborate with the Willamette Valley Cancer Institute and Research Center, Oregon Imaging Centers, and other specialists to provide comprehensive care for all types of cancer.

This was a truly amazing show!!!! And of course, it was my last show on Friday night so my poor trusty (hereby to be referred to as un-trusty) camera had a dead battery! At a show attended by Joan Rivers! The horror!! Oh, and someone named Porcelain Black -- more on her later.
Back to the show - Think Indian Versace meets Civil War soldier meets Space Age. Exactly what Cleopatra would have worn if she were alive in 3000AD.
I cannot applaud Falguni and Shane enough -- there were so many familiar, done-to-death elements - in theory - that the designers put such a fresh spin on that it totally breathed new life into already (overly) familiar trends, like the body harness, which they designed, styled and presented in a way that was more Mehendi than S&M, and of course, a blogger trademark, the diaphanous maxi skirt, that on their runway went from tired and overplayed to an exotic, Arabian Nights staple:
The Maxi Skirt in a new light - this displays a more Seize-the-World attitude than a Oh-Who-Me? I-Just-Threw-This-On.
The Harnesses ranged from full body to assymetric to corset-like, but in a whole spectrum of colors and they were each styled to specifically compliment the dress rather than be the only focal point.
Everything was complimented with geometric shapes that somehow seemed at once angular and rounded, strong shoulders that were still delicate, sequins that were demure. And, in keeping with their name - Peacock - The use of feathers was an obvious touch. And, God knows I love a good turban.
Many of the dresses were playfully sheer:
A show stopper was this digitally printed number:
The only thing I didn't really like porcelain black closing the show - the other looks and models were stately and exotic and otherworldy, alien-like, and Porcelain Black, with her black and white frizzy hair and tattoos and too-bold makeup seemed like it was more for shock value than cohesion. It seemed like the two designers couldn't decide on a theme for the show, and one of the won, and as a concession allowed the other to add one element of their own. Know what I mean?
photos courtesy of showroomseven
Great show -- and a show is just what it was - it was at once entertaining and inspiring. It wasn't one of those shows that you can attend and emulate the next day, but it certainly made me want to embrace my inner goddess!
What do you guys think?

Last Friday was Pi Day (3/14). Our niece was part of a school contest to see who could remember Pi out to the most digits. (We're guessing that this is not an exciting spectator sport.)
Even though she remembered it out to the 111th digit(!), she didn't win. Not by a long shot. The winner had it memorized out to past the 300th digit. Maybe they should make a movie about him.
Most of the time, trying to remember passwords is like trying to memorize Pi out to the 20th digit (3.14159265358979323846 – from piday.org). It takes a lot of effort, and if you don't keep practicing and repeating it, you're going to forget it really soon. And, in the back of your mind, you're thinking 'why am I even doing this?'
It would be a whole lot easier if Pi was something like 3.14141414141414141414 repeating forever… but then it wouldn't be magic, a circle wouldn't be a circle, and there wouldn't be any contests to remember lots of digits.
The same thing applies to passwords. Lots of times we choose easy passwords because we don't see the purpose or importance of them and we don't want to spend any effort in remembering something hard. Because of this, the tendency is to pick passwords that are easy to remember.
Just like with memorizing Pi, we have to practice using our passwords (when we regularly visit a site like checking our email on gmail) or else we forget them really quickly.
Too many sites force us to create a password for a one time visit or to protect information that really doesn't seem important enough to protect. And so, instead of choosing something like 8Ls0fd-h)3@u4h as our password, we choose qwerty1.
And that's where a password loses its magic, and security stops being security.
If you ask us, Π = 3.14. We plan on testing our niece this weekend to see just how many digits she remembers a week after the contest.
