Maggie Smith, Tom Courtenay, Pauline Collins, Michael Gambon, and Billy Connolly star in Dustin Hoffman's delightful directorial debut about a home for retired opera singers
Lifelong friends Wilf (Billy Connolly) and Reggie (Tom Courtenay), together with former colleague Cissy (Pauline Collins), are residents of Beecham House, a home for retired opera singers. Every year on Giuseppe Verdi's birthday, the residents unite to give a concert to raise funds for their home. But when Jean Horton (Maggie Smith), a former grande dame of the opera fallen on hard times, also Reggie's ex-wife and the fourth and most celebrated member of their former quartet, moves into the home to everyone's surprise, the plans for this year's concert start to unravel. As old grudges threaten to undermine past glories and theatrical temperaments play havoc with the rehearsal schedule, it becomes apparent that having four of the finest singers in English operatic history under one roof offers no guarantee that the show will go on. Based on Ronald Harwood's stage play of the same name, legendary actor Dustin Hoffman's directorial debut is a wickedly comic film about redefining old age and growing old with hope; demonstrating how art illuminates life and the human spirit remains undimmed even as the brightest stars start to fade. (UK, 2012, 94 min., color, 35mm – Director: Dustin Hoffman – Writer: Ronald Harwood – Cast: Maggie Smith, Tom Courtenay, Pauline Collins, Billy Connolly, Michael Gambon – 2012 Toronto Film Festival)

README_os2.txt for version 7.1 of Vim: Vi IMproved. This file explains the installation of Vim on OS/2 systems. See "README.txt" for general information about Vim. NOTE: You will need two archives: vim71rt.zip contains the runtime files (same as for the PC version) vim71os2.zip contains the OS/2 executables 1. Go to the directory where you want to put the Vim files. Examples: cd C:\ cd D:\editors 2. Unpack the zip archives. This will create a new directory "vim/vim71", in which all the distributed Vim files are placed. Since the directory name includes the version number, it is unlikely that you overwrite existing files. Examples: pkunzip -d vim71os2.zip unzip vim71os2.zip After you unpacked the files, you can still move the whole directory tree to another location. 3. Add the directory where vim.exe is to your path. The simplest is to add a line to your autoexec.bat. Examples: set path=%path%;C:\vim\vim71 set path=%path%;D:\editors\vim\vim71 That's it! Extra remarks: - To avoid confusion between distributed files of different versions and your own modified vim scripts, it is recommended to use this directory layout: ("C:\vim" is used here as the root, replace with the path you use) Your own files: C:\vim\_vimrc Your personal vimrc. C:\vim\_viminfo Dynamic info for 'viminfo'. C:\vim\... Other files you made. Distributed files: C:\vim\vim71\vim.exe The Vim version 7.1 executable. C:\vim\vim71\doc\*.txt The version 7.1 documentation files. C:\vim\vim71\bugreport.vim A Vim version 7.1 script. C:\vim\vim71\... Other version 7.1 distributed files. In this case the $VIM environment variable would be set like this: set VIM=C:\vim - You can put your Vim executable anywhere else. If the executable is not with the other distributed Vim files, you should set $VIM. The simplest is to add a line to your autoexec.bat. Examples: set VIM=c:\vim set VIM=d:\editors\vim For further information, type this inside Vim: :help os2

In designing some of the most distinctive new homes in Athens, Ga., Lori Bork Newcomer looks to the past. Her projects celebrate the traditional architecture found in the city's older neighborhoods, while incorporating high-performance amenities and a modern aesthetic.
Newcomer's creations employ centuries-old sustainable building techniques such as passive solar orientation, long and narrow shotgun-style floor plans, an emphasis on exterior shading, plenty of windows, and natural ventilation. "I try to pick up on a lot of the old passive systems that were used over 100 years ago here and have largely been forgotten because we rely on active systems," says the principal of Bork Architectural Design. To that end, most of her projects include large front porches, operable skylights, and multiple covered outdoor spaces including old-fashioned sleeping porches.
Her focus on sustainability and her modern approach have struck a chord with residents of the progressive college town. Since Newcomer moved to the area in 2005, her residential projects have gained attention for their clean lines, contemporary styling, and comfortable living spaces.
For Newcomer's own home, just steps from downtown, she considered the architectural context of her eclectic Pulaski Heights neighborhood, filled with early-1900s cottages that once housed cotton oil factory workers as well as industrial buildings and factories that now serve as quaint artist studios and shops. To start, she designed a deceptively compact front façade, blending strong horizontal and vertical modern lines with a traditional gabled form and a large front porch, indicative of nearby cottages. Tennessee fieldstone, stucco, and white clapboard siding echo the native and traditional materials used in many of the area's oldest homes.
The back of the home houses the master suite, sleeping porch, and Newcomer's studio, and is covered by a butterfly roof, which helps to downplay its size—twice that of most of the homes in the area. "We didn't want to be seen as the monster on the block," she says.
Inside, the glass-clad front gable provides natural light to the open floor plan's kitchen, living, and dining areas. Locally sourced, reclaimed heart pine floors and salvaged wood from an old shed on the lot further connect the house to its site. Large windows provide natural lighting as well as passive solar heating in winter months.
Newcomer emphasized breathability in her wall system of 2-foot-by-6-foot exterior walls with blown-in recycled-content cellulose. She coated the exterior with highly permeable Sto stucco and specified mineral-based paints rather than latex for interior walls. "The higher breathability is more like traditional adobe structures," she says. "It helps the house to regulate itself better."
Thanks to careful caulking and sealing, reflective metal roofing, Energy Star–labeled windows, and a solar hot water system, utility bills are roughly the same as they were in Newcomer's previous house that was a third of the size.
Low-flow fixtures conserve water inside the house, and outside a 1,100-gallon cistern captures rainwater for irrigation. All other runoff is handled on site, via three rain gardens, and the front yard, which has no turf, is largely used as a vegetable garden. The drought-tolerant landscaping has remained vibrant even during Georgia's current dry spell, Newcomer notes.
To achieve LEED Platinum certification for a low $125 per square foot, Newcomer and her husband had to make a few trade-offs. They limited pricey reclaimed wood flooring to the main living space and went with exposed concrete floors elsewhere. They also gave up on finding a quartz countertop that would fit their budget and used granite instead. "That is my biggest complaint about countertops—most eco-friendly options are cost-prohibitive," she says.
Newcomer also acted as general contractor, which reduced construction costs by about 15 percent. She decided to go for third-party certification after sitting for the LEED-AP exam in 2009.
"Honestly, we were surprised that we got to LEED Platinum just by doing what made sense for us," she recalls. "We didn't do anything big like PVs or geothermal systems, we just did a lot of little things right."

Meat House corporate owners face millions in legal claims
All told, the company is facing more than $2 million in court claims. The Attorney General's Office is investigating complaints from gift card holders; the state Department of Labor is looking into unpaid wage claims; and a well-known New Hampshire charity that helps members of the military is still owed $40,000 collected by the Meat House at a fundraiser last summer.
Meat House co-founders Justin Rosberg, CEO, and Jason Parent, president, have retained two high-profile attorneys. Well-known Manchester bankruptcy lawyer William S. Gannon is handling the creditor issues, while attorney Michael Kushner at Hinckley Allen in Concord is focusing on franchise-related matters.
News of the company's financial problems spread fast after the corporate stores were closed, allegedly for renovation, earlier in the month. Parent told a television reporter at the time that the company had run into financial difficulty but was hoping for an imminent rescue by a new investor.
In addition to court action, the case has attracted the attention of several state offices.
State Commissioner of Labor James W. Craig said his office has received 27 claims for unpaid wages as of Wednesday, and is scheduling them for wage hearings. "Depending on what happens at the hearings, we will take further action to try to get them paid somehow," he said.
Chaplain Steven Veinotte of the New Hampshire National Guard is still wondering what happened to the $40,000 the Meat House claims to have raised for the Chaplain's Emergency Relief Fund (CERF), which provides financial assistance to military families in need.
Operation Thank You is one example of the community involvement efforts associated with the Meat House since it was founded by Rosberg and Parent in 2003.
For the first 10 years of its existence, the company looked like it was destined for long-term success. Entrepreneur Magazine featured it in an article titled, "A Cut Above,' while MSNBC ran a segment titled, "Steaking a Claim on the Retail Meat Market."
"It's going to take a little bit of time to sort all this out," said Boffetti, "but we're working on it."

Yankees sense opportunity as Blue Jays visit
History on N.Y.'s side entering doubleheader between division foes
The Yankees need to make up ground in the playoff race, and the schedule is presenting them with a golden opportunity to do just that.
The Yankees have owned the Blue Jays this season, going 8-1 against them, including 6-0 at home. The teams will play each other seven times over a nine-day span, beginning with a day-night doubleheader Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees, who have won six of their past eight games, will host a four-game set before heading north of the border for three more games next week.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi will tab Ivan Nova to oppose Esmil Rogers in the afternoon game, and Phil Hughes will take on veteran Blue Jays lefty Mark Buehrle in the nightcap. Nova and Hughes have been going in opposite directions.
Nova (6-4, 2.99 ERA) has dazzled over his past seven starts, posting a 1.89 ERA with 50 strikeouts to 12 walks over 52 1/3 innings. On Wednesday, he limited the Angels to three runs over 7 1/3 innings, giving up 10 hits but no walks and striking out six.
Hughes (4-12, 4.97), on the other hand, has not won since July 2 and is 2-10 with a 5.23 ERA over his past 16 starts. He has a 6.03 ERA at Yankee Stadium, although he posted a quality start there Thursday, holding the Angels to three runs on six hits over six innings.
"It was obviously better; it was hard to pitch much worse than I had been," Hughes said. "It felt like the results weren't exactly what I wanted, but I felt like I threw the ball OK. But at the end of the day, it's a loss, which is not what we set out to accomplish today."
Rogers (3-7, 4.91) had been moved to the bullpen after going through a three-start stretch in which he surrendered 20 earned runs over 12 1/3 innings. But he was granted a reprieve when Josh Johnson was placed on the disabled list. Rogers made an emergency start Wednesday and held the Red Sox to one run on five hits over six innings, although his winless streak was extended to 10 outings.
"The opportunity that the Blue Jays gave me this year is unbelievable," Rogers said. "I was just thinking to myself, if they gave me this opportunity, I had to take [advantage] of being there for the rest of the year."
Buehrle's own resurgence began in May, when he had a 7.02 ERA. In 18 starts since, he owns a 3.33 mark, including 2.36 over his past five outings. The Blue Jays have won each of those games, with Buehrle going 4-0.
"I'm just trying to get on a roll right now," Buehrle said after a stellar outing against the Red Sox on Thursday. "I don't care if we're out of the playoffs, or in the playoffs, if we're in the thick of it. I go out there and try to win every start. No matter what the situation is, I'm going out there trying to compete and trying to win."
Blue Jays: Reyes, Kawasaki to return
The Blue Jays, who are 1-2 to start their 10-game road trip, expect to get two of their middle infielders back in time for the doubleheader.
Jose Reyes sat out his second straight game Sunday with a sore right knee, but the pain and swelling should dissipate enough to allow him to play Tuesday. Before Saturday, Reyes had played in every game since coming off the disabled list on June 26, but he is in a 2-for-22 slump.
Munenori Kawasaki was in Toronto on paternity leave over the weekend. He is hitting .205 with one homer and 20 RBIs in 72 games this season.
Yankees: A-Rod contributing on both sides
Alex Rodriguez went 3-for-4 with a home run Sunday, and has reached base safely in 11 of his 12 games.
"We've seen him drive the ball," Girardi said this weekend. "We've seen him hit hard line drives. The bat speed is definitely there."
Rodriguez also has started 10 of 12 games at third base, including five straight, and Girardi said he was pleased with Rodriguez's ability to play the field.
Worth noting
• Buehrle gave up 10 runs over 11 1/3 innings in two starts at Yankee Stadium earlier this season. He has also struggled in his career against two New York veterans. Ichiro Suzuki is 24-for-57 (.421), while Vernon Wells is 24-for-53 (.453) with four doubles and three homers.
• The Yankees have won nine straight home games against the Blue Jays going back to last season.

Friday, February 1st (All times Eastern) Orlando Magic (14-31) at Boston Celtics (22-23), 7:30 p.m. (Sports Network) - The Boston Celtics will try to stay undefeated without All- Star guard Rajon Rondo on Friday night when they host the struggling Orlando Magic. The Celtics announced Sunday during a double-overtime victory over the defending champion Miami Heat that Rondo tore his ACL and would miss the remainder of the season. Courtney Lee was inserted into the starting lineup Wednesday night as the Celtics rolled over the Sacramento Kings, 99-81. Lee only managed nine points and three assists in just over 26 minutes. Six Boston players scored in double figures, led by Paul Pierce, who had 16 points and 10 rebounds. It was a great all-around effort by the Celtics, but excitement was tempered by yet another injury. Rookie Jared Sullinger, who recently cracked the starting lineup, left the game after a little over four minutes of action due to back spasms. He is listed as day-to-day. "No, I'm not that concerned," said head coach Doc Rivers. "Can he miss games, like I said yesterday? He may. But it's not anything career-threatening or anything like that." The Magic have been brutal of late, losing seven in a row. This is the third game of a five-game road trip that will see them take on the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers. On Wednesday, the Magic fell to the New York Knicks, 113-97. As if the horrendous play wasn't tough enough for Orlando, starting forward Glen Davis fractured his left foot, already underwent surgery and will be on the shelf for eight-plus weeks. The Magic will now be without arguably their best player and a co-captain. Davis was out almost a month in December and January with a badly sprained shoulder, but he returned ahead of schedule. This injury appears to be more serious and Davis will probably miss the remainder of the season. "It's really unfortunate because I know that he looked forward to this year," head coach Jacque Vaughn said of his injured player. "This was new territory for him (being a captain and a starter). So it's really unfortunate for him to be hurt this year for multiple times." During this seven-game slide, Orlando has surrendered 100-plus points five times and 97 points the other two. To make matters even worse, if that's possible, leading scorer Arron Afflalo is still day-to-day with a strained left calf. The Celtics, who are on the third of a four-game homestand, have won six straight in this series with Orlando, including a 116-110 road victory on Nov. 25. 02/01 10:40:14 ET Powered by The Sports Network. |

Ox Yoke Inn
Editor's Review
As the most well-known restaurant in the Amana Colonies, the Ox Yoke Inn has a reputation for ample portions of traditional German dishes. It won't disappoint in this regard, offering sauerbraten, jger schnitzel, a bratwurst and knackwurst platter, and of course, wiener schnitzel. The sauerbraten ($12 for a plate) comes with three generous slices of roast beef in a tangy, slightly sour gravy. The food comes either family style or as single plates, and the side dishes include mashed potatoes and gravy, hot vegetable, chilled salads and bread. Some sides, such as a bowl of corn, may be a bit underwhelming, and the meat in the hot roast beef open-faced sandwich has spent a little too long in the slow-cooker. Each table features a traditional jar of house-made strawberry jam that's tasty with a bit of bread and butter. The overall atmosphere is a bit less formal than the Ox Yoke's nearby neighbor restaurant, The Ronneburg. Servers don't wear German dress, and the menu features more non-German dishes such as a French dip sandwich ($8.50), Caesar salad ($10), citrus salmon ($13 plated) and breaded hot wings called Oxen Wings. At the end of the meal, servers bring out the pie tray -- a hard temptation to resist! There's also a little shop at the back of the restaurant selling Amana souvenirs. A visit to the Ox Yoke is an Amana tradition, and though it's a bit dowdy, it's a generally satisfying place to eat.

Renovation & updates
The client requested that we renovate an existing cement waterfeature on their property. Low maintenance was a must. So we designed a feature that contains 95' of stream with a total of 15' in elevation changes, a 6 x 8 pond at the base of the main falls flows into a 8' x 16' pond, then under a natural stone bridge another 35' to the 35' 40' x 3.5' main pond which then overflows into a negative edge wetlands filtration system designed to hold 3,000 additional gallons of water. We installed to Tsurumi pumps generating a flow reat of 8,200 gallons per hour over the main waterfall. We also incorperated 4' x 5' flat feeding rocks along the edge of the main pond so that the clients can interact with their new finned friends. This feature holds approximately 25,400 gallons of water. It took approximately 132 Tons of Rock, 23 tons of Riverstone Gravel and has over 90 perennial Aquatic Plants. This project was completed in 9 working days with a crew of 7 men - despite the 4" of rainfall we had as soon as we started the project. The landscape contractor who recommended us to the client has placed mulch around the feature and in the early spring of 2009 complete the landscape plantings.

These textured cloths help exfoliate and cleanse normal to dry skin not prone to breakouts. The Indian ginseng extract (listed by its Latin name of Withania somnifera) has irritation potential, so ideally you'll want to rinse your skin after using the cleansing cloth. Otherwise, these work fairly well to remove most types of makeup, an effect that's similar to what you'd get using a washcloth with a cleansing lotion.
Pre-moistened Bioré® Daily Cleansing Cloths help remove a whole day's worth of dirt, oil and make-up and leave skin vibrant and glowing. Unique dirt-grabbing cloth fibers trap surface dirt, oil and make-up and help dislodge stubborn, pore-clogging grime. Recharge skin any time you need a little lift with these portable face cleansing cloths.

Biore At-A-Glance
Strengths: Provides complete ingredient lists for every product on the company Web sit; improved cleansers.
Weaknesses: Known for their pore strips, which aren't as helpful as they seem; lots of products that contain alcohol and/or menthol, neither of which improve the look or function of pores; the sole sunscreen option lacks the proper UVA-protecting ingredients.
This drugstore line wants you to know it is serious about keeping your pores unclogged. They pledge that their products will rid your pores of the dirt, oil, and grime that can cause them to enlarge to "manhole-sized proportions." Although that size is clearly an exaggeration, most of the claims Biore makes also stretch what's possible. For example, neither their products nor the manner in which they function take into account the fact that pore size is more often than not genetic and controlled to a large extent by the oil glands that lie beneath the skin, which are themselves controlled by hormone activity, and none of that can be affected from the outside in.
None of the Biore products can shrink the oil gland or help keep it unblocked, and that is the only surefire way to reduce pore size. One of the bonuses of taking prescription Accutane for acne is that in most cases the patient's pore size becomes remarkably smaller due to the manner in which this potent drug works internally. We are not suggesting anyone should take Accutane simply to shrink large pores. But we do suggest it would be better to stop believing that skin-care products that claim to do so are the answer. Effective skin-care products (including some items in the Biore line) can remove or absorb excess oil, which makes pores less noticeable, and a well-formulated cleanser will remove grime and surface oils without drying skin, which temporarily makes pores look slightly smaller. And believe it or not, sun protection plays a role in pore size. As skin becomes more sun damaged, it becomes thicker and unable to exfoliate normally. The buildup of dead skin cells coupled with thickened skin can make pores expand. This can be remedied by using a well-formulated AHA or BHA product along with daily application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen—products that Biore lacks.
That's the extent of it, which is why to a large extent (no pun intended) pore size is something that you must learn to live with, because beyond avoiding sun damage and trying Accutane, there is little that can be done to change it. However, the outlook isn't as bleak as it may seem. With conscientious skin care and proper use of makeup, you can successfully minimize the appearance of pores and prevent them from enlarging any further.

No plea from shooter
The man accused of killing Susanville resident Rory McGuire during a July 2 car chase made his second appearance in Plumas County Superior Court on Monday, July 18.
Gregory Chad Wallin-Reed, 36, of Reno, Nev., has yet to enter a plea in the case.
During Monday's arraignment proceedings, Wallin-Reed was represented by attorney Richard Young, of Reno, whom he has retained in place of his appointed Plumas County Public Defender Doug Prouty.
Plumas County Superior Court Judge Ira Kaufman granted Wallin-Reed's request for a continuance until Aug. 04.

At that time, Wallin-Reed is expected to enter a plea for the murder charge, and seven other felony counts he faces, stemming from the shooting near Antelope Lake.
A shackled Wallin-Reed entered the nearly empty Quincy courtroom wearing a protective vest.
Sitting in a seat usually reserved for a jury member, Wallin-Reed met briefly with his new attorney, Young, and attorney John Ohlson, of Reno, who will be assisting Young in the case.
The proceeding lasted just a few minutes before the court was recessed and Wallin-Reed was escorted out of the courtroom.
Wallin-Reed was arrested July 3 for the July 2 shooting of 20-year-old McGuire and two other Susanville men.
The charges were upgraded to murder July 4 after McGuire died at Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno.
An investigation into the shooting has yet to find evidence that McGuire or the five other men in his car were armed.
Wallin-Reed faces eight felony counts, including murder, after he admitted opening fire on the Susanville men during a car chase near Antelope Lake.
Wallin-Reed called the Plumas County Sheriff's Office after the shooting. He said the men stole solar lights from his residence along the Janesville grade. Officers later found two solar lights in the men's car.
According to the 911 phone log, Wallin-Reed said during the call that one of the men in the fleeing car driven by McGuire fired a shot at him.
Wallin-Reed was charged with murder, shooting at an occupied vehicle, five counts of assault with a deadly weapon and possession of an assault weapon.
Officers said Wallin-Reed, who is reported to be a former Army Ranger, had a .380 handgun and an AR-15 assault rifle in his possession.
McGuire, who was shot in the head and hand, was life-flighted to Reno.
Two of the passengers in the car, Justin Smyth and Robert Osornio, sustained gunshot wounds to their lower legs.
Smyth, 20, was flown to Enloe hospital in Chico where he reportedly underwent at least one operation for a bullet wound in his calf. He had been listed in serious condition and was released July 7.
Osornio, 19, was transported to Plumas District Hospital in Quincy. He was soon released with a bullet reportedly still lodged in his lower leg.
The other three passengers — John Chanley, 20; Richard Chanley, 19; and Cesar Gonzalez, 20 — escaped serious injury.
The events surrounding the shooting are still under a joint investigation by the sheriff's office, the district attorney's office and the Department of Justice.
According to information provided for the investigation, Wallin-Reed began to chase the six men after he discovered them outside his residence, located about nine miles from Antelope Lake.
The men fled the residence by car and headed in the direction of the lake.
Wallin-Reed followed them in a pickup.
The men said Wallin-Reed was firing a gun while closely pursuing their car.
After driving about seven miles, McGuire entered a gravel road. He reportedly made a spinning U-turn and returned in the direction of Wallin-Reed's truck in an attempt to escape.
That is when Wallin-Reed reportedly fired several AR-15 rounds at the passing car, striking McGuire in the head.
The car drifted off the side of the road and came to a stop in a meadow.
At that point, the men said Wallin-Reed got out of his truck and approached them, carrying the assault rifle.
They said Wallin-Reed spoke to them. There are unconfirmed reports of what was said.
At 11:29 p.m. Saturday, July 2, Plumas County sheriff's dispatchers received a 911 call from Wallin-Reed.
The 911 call log indicates Wallin-Reed reported that he had shot someone on top of the Janesville grade.
The log entry stated, "He thinks he shot the driver."
According to the report, Wallin-Reed told the dispatcher that the suspects were armed.
At 11:34 Wallin-Reed agreed to drive to the dam at Antelope Lake to meet with deputies.
At 11:52 a person called 911 to report two of the victims with minor injuries had arrived at Long Point campground on Antelope Lake.
The 911 call log stated the vehicle containing the injured men was located on Forest City Road, between Long Point and Lone Rock.
Dispatchers began making calls for emergency medical assistance just minutes after Wallin-Reed reported the shooting.
Wallin-Reed, who has no prior criminal record, was arraigned Tuesday, July 5. He waived his right to fight extradition in the event that he makes bail and leaves California.
In a July 13 story it was reported that AR-15 assault rifles are illegal in California. That was incorrect. Some versions of AR-15 rifles are legal.

DA raises stink about lack of A&D services
District Attorney Jeff Cunan argued that the county was passing up $515,000 per year in alcohol and drug treatment funding from the state and federal governments during the public comment section of the Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday, Nov. 9.
He added that Plumas was the only county in California without an A&D program and the people at the state level were "perplexed" by the county's refusal to appoint a new program administrator and accept the funding.
Cunan has been attempting to get the A&D issue on the board agenda for more than a month.
The sitting DA originally sent a memo to the supervisors, other county employees and this newspaper early in October, when he was attempting to get on the Tuesday, Oct 12, agenda.
BOS Chairwoman Sherrie Thrall briefly addressed Cunan's request at that meeting, saying the board received a large packet from the DA requesting that it consider reinstating an A&D program.
She said the issue would be held off the agenda until "we do our homework and find out exactly what position the county's in right now as far as our closure of the department and lay off of employees."
"I think we still have hearings pending so that will not be agendized for discussion until probably the second meeting in November if we have the information we need by that time."
Cunan's appearance during the public comment period Nov. 9 made it abundantly clear he was through waiting for the board to bring the issue before the public.
He said the county's lack of an A&D department for two years was unprecedented.
Cunan's previous memo argued that the county was also holding onto $138,903 in grant funds left over from its previous A&D program, which he said would have to be paid back if the county didn't use it to provide A&D services.
Cunan said he spoke with representatives from the state who alluded "to the possibility that were Plumas County to again have a new program in the near future, there may be an option to use this money to help fund it, in lieu of paying it back."
Cunan's document also included quotes he attributed to Marjorie McKisson, assistant deputy director of California's Program Services Division, telling him there was $515,000 allocated for the county in the current fiscal year and "we're just waiting for Plumas to accept the money."
It also indicated she told him the money would be given to other counties if Plumas didn't accept it, as has happened in the previous two years.
The memo argued that Plumas didn't need to have a department to accept the funds and could subcontract with private organizations or another county to provide services, basically funneling the money through the county without having to hire new employees.
In his public comment in November, Cunan said the people at the state "figure they will prorate the amount we are not using day by day since the fiscal year started."
"Every day we're losing $1,400. Since I put this in front of the board over a month ago, the county has lost $50,000 in Alcohol and Drug Services money."
"If you wait another month it will be another $50,000. If you wait till I leave office, which appears to be the case, it'll be another $100,000."
He added that he spoke with people at the state level about the reasons County Administrative Officer Jack Ingstad gave them for not reinstating a program and "the representative that I spoke to said that it didn't make any sense to her."
Cunan said he often had encounters with parents asking him why the county wouldn't offer their children services and because of this he would continue to pursue this cause "regardless of how long you wait, or what you throw at me."
"I'm going to come to every board meeting between now and when we do have an alcohol and drug program so that when I do face these parents of these teenagers I can look them in the eyes and tell them that I did at least everything possible to alleviate the tragedy that's happening in this, the only county (without alcohol and drug services) in California."
After Cunan's comment, Thrall asked County Counsel Craig Settlemire to comment on the county's position.
He responded, "There are pending issues with regards to personnel matters relating to the former alcohol and drug program.
"There's also audits that are pending with the state and those issues we're trying to resolve at this time before we implement another program."
Cunan retorted that when the board put this topic on an agenda there would be "quite a bit to say about both those issues and I'd be happy to be the one that does it if no one else will."

Brussels, production set-up.
06 June 2005
Brussels, production set-up.
On waking, I staggered out into the town with Bruce in search of nourishment. We were both starving, as our body clocks are all over the place, so ended up in a nice little cafe, each of us ordering both an omelette and a Croque Monsieur. The waitress did do a double take, but delivered our order nonetheless. It turns out that both of these items are full-meal sized orders, so the table was heaving with food, bread, chips, buckets of mayonnaise, etc. A little daunting straight out of the sack, but we gave it our best shot.
Back at the venue it was another steady and productive day. We are in really good shape given that the load in only started three days ago, but in the regular scheme of things the first show would probably be about two weeks away, not four days away. I spent much of the day on video content. The screen was due to be finished tonight, so we can at last look through everything we have and start to place and programme it all. Lighting charges ahead too, though I did notice that we have moved a large rack of lighting instruments to a new location which completely blocks the place where our fourth camera was due to be positioned. Back to the drawing board there, I guess.
By about midnight lighting was in reasonable shape, but our mix position doesnt move into place till tomorrow (when the grass pitch gets covered for protection), so we are looking at everything from an oblique angle which is impossible for programming. The video screen was still in a trouble-shooting cycle with no sign of coming out any time soon, so I was very tempted to leave and come back tomorrow, despite the fact that tonight was slated as being one of our only two programming nights. There were only nine of us left in the stadium; two lighting crew, Kes and Raff, plus Luke, Ash and Sam from the video content dept, Bruce, Smasher, me and the generator guy. However, I hung in there and by about 2am, when all was silent, out of nowhere things started to come together. The screen burst into useful life and looks spectacular, so we began to look at everything we have. Smasher started programming his video consoles, Bruce finally got control of the strobes so was flashing and programming away, Ash was writing software like a madman, Luke editing and reformatting pieces as required on a moment-by-moment basis, Sam bringing the tea and keeping us buoyant. Suddenly, a little hut on a football pitch in Belgium becomes the most vibrantly creative point on the earthπs crust. Its really fun when everything kicks in.
We got loads done and at last I feel like we are off the starting blocks. The mood was really up, despite the hour. The sun came up and we realised that every additional hour we stayed would eat into our ability tomorrow, so at about 5.30am we called for the runnerπs van to take us home. Besides, ifwe left it too much longer wed end up in rush hour traffic which, when you are going home to bed, is ten times the drag it is when youπre going to work. I guess we were all tucked up by 6.30am or so. I for one was feeling good. Wheels feel like they are rolling at last.

While I am aware of the answer to my question, I will ask anyway, at the stage you put through the salt, it should be possible to perhaps put through some spices, correct? Perhaps some paprika or maybe some fresh herbs as basil?

My mom has made this since i was little. We just called it yogurt cheese :-) We we lucky though, my dad worked for a dairy company, and we would get the outdated yogurt for free. And we always made it with low-fat yogurt, so yes it does work. Adding roasted New Mexico green chilis is my favorite.

Hi John. I tried this thing. It was kind of hard to do because i choose 2.5 % fat yoghurt and i used a sock :D Yes , sock. I didnt had a cloth but it worked very well. And the taste... Man. I have never made my own cheese but it is worth to try guys. That taste was amazing and i felt so happy for my self as you said in the video :D Thank you and goo luck.

chief John, does the yogurt cheese can used to make baked cheese cake?
- November 6, 2013 at 1:21 AM
- Kevin McHugh said...
A few ideas:
-I didn't use string or a wooden spoon, I just wrapped the cheese cloth in a knot and stuck 2 chopsticks through the middle. It was a small elimination but made a big psychological difference ^_^
-If you're wondering what to do with the whey, it can be used to make ricotta.
-I didn't have a heavy marble stone like CJ...c'mon, who does? So I used a slightly larger bowl (whose base fit over the top of the cream cheese mould) filled with water. It was heavy and did the trick.
-You can re-use (expensive) cheesecloth after washing in plain hot water, so I didn't cut mine up. - November 6, 2013 at 10:15 AM
- Greeter said...
My Albanian friend makes her own yogurt (Me too! It's sooOOoooo easy!) and uses a cutting of fabric from her former slip (under her dress type) in place of cheese cloth. Before adding the salt, it is basically sour cream.

I am in the process of making some now using non-fat Greek yogurt. I am also going to mix in some green onions and chives before I "age" it. I plan on serving it with some hot pepper jelly I made a couple of weeks ago on whole wheat crackers. I'll let you know how it turns out, but it should be a killer combination.

As antipated, the non-fat, Greek yogurt version was fantastic. Greek yogurt already has much of the whey removed. Hanging for 24 hours really did not extract much more. I did find that I needed to put a shallow bowl under the mold. Pressing did extract additional whey which had no where to go but over the side.
I added Chives and Green Onions to the mixture before molding and used more salt than Chef John. I served mine with some hot fish pepper jelly I made a few weeks ago on some bruschetta toasts. The tanginess of the cheese, the bite of the onions and chives, the sweetness and heat of the jelly and the crunchiness of the toast was a fantastic combination.

Hillbilly BeerSnob here aka TBG. I asked you on twitter about cheese cloth remember? Anyway, I've made homemade queso fresco but this by far is better when it comes to cheeses you just want to curl up with while watching some late night flix. I was going to take a pic but, I wanted to taste it first and before I knew it I ate the whole thing. Sorry. Anyway, this is among my top list of comfort foods out there. I can't wait to try it on some bagels or more Ritz crackers. Oh man, forget that! I bet those cheddar crackers you made could use some of this. IMO you can never have too much of cheese.

Picture Keeper makes it easy to back up the images on your computer so you'll have a second copy of all your irreplaceable family photos. The Picture Keeper is extremely easy to use, too. Plug it into a USB port on your computer and with one click, it searches for photo files and creates a backup copy. After you've added more pictures to your computer, connect the Picture Keeper again and it'll back up just the new photos without creating duplicates of your older photos. This is a great way to preserve memories for years to come.

picture keeper Written By MayG, Piscataway, NJ on Tuesday, December 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a really useful gadget to guard our precious pictures
QUICK QUICK QUICK!!!! Written By Christine, Ephrata, PA on Sunday, December 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a really neat little gadget!! And Crutchfield had the best price (outside of Groupon, but I am still waiting on my product to be delivered - it's been three weeks!!!!) and I had it within two days from Crutchfield! I will totally order from you all again!!!!! Thank you for keeping your prices low, shipping on time and great customer service!!
dissapointed Written By Hawker, Parsons, Ks on Sunday, January 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Dissapointed -it says can be used on multiple computers, but what it doesnt say is that it starts over and counts all the pics on the new computer, even the duplicates. So best to stay with one computer. Pros: seems to work Cons: counts the duplicates on the other computer as new. Small and wont hold many high pics taken with higher better MB cameras
Picture Keeper Written By Chuck L., Fishers, Indiana on Friday, January 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A very simple product with a simple solution to preserving your photos and videos. Very easy to use and offered in sizes to suit everyone. Pros: Easy of use. Effective. Unloads overloaded hard drives if you wish. Cons: Small enough to loose. Needs more detailed manual.
Picture Keeper 16G Written By Carol, KS on Tuesday, January 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased the picture keeper and to my disappointment it didn't work. I called Crutchfield and the rep said they would send me a replacement; which they did; the second one seems to be working just fine. I am pleased with it and would recommend anyone getting the product. I would suggest (I also purchased an 8 gig) to spend the extra and get the bigger picture keeper. Pros: Convenience Cons: Haven't found any
Picture Keeper Auto Photo back-up device Written By Jeff B, Brimfield,Ma on Sunday, January 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Simple to use with a great price. Keeps treasured memories safe from loss Pros: Compact and ease of use Cons: None
Didn't work Written By Ken, Tampa,Fl on Thursday, January 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Never could get it to work. Am keeping it now just as a picture USB but have to manually load pics just like any other flash drive. Pros: High priced usb drive Cons: Doesn't work
Picture Keeper Automatic Photo Backup Device Written By Tom B., Branson, MO on Saturday, October 22, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent product. The value of this product is further enhanced by its ability to back up photographs stored on multiple computers in the household. Pros: This product was so easy to use and did exactly what was represented. The ease and effectiveness to back up priceless photographs is of enormous piece of mind.
Good concept! Written By CatherineM, Charlottesville VA on Friday, August 26, 2011 I used Picture Keeper on 2 Mac computers. It stores pictures from files perfectly and as far as I can tell, it does not duplicate photos. Which is the design of the product! I wondered if if would collect video and iPhoto's. I did! The only challenge was it did not keep the files I created in iPhoto, it categorized the pictures by date imported. That makes it difficult to search for the photos I want to pull. Assuming Picture Keeper stores photos by "name" just don't change names. I have an older camera (Megapixels 8) and the 4GB stored approximately 2300 photos. Over all, a good product!
Thumbs up for this thumb drive Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 2/20/2012 2:34:00 PM The Picture Keeper is more than just another thumb drive, as I soon discovered. Its software is specifically designed for photo backup, and it performs that task well. All I had to do was plug the Picture Keeper into my computer's USB port, then opened up drive's window. I selected "Start Backup" and the Picture Keeper copied as many of my photos (and their folders) as it could hold. This is a great solution if you don't have a lot of hi-rez images on your computer. Transfer is fast. When its done, you can run slideshows from the Picture Keeper, or plug it into another computer and copy your photos.

Snow (Pearl) White and the 7 strings!
Snow (Pearl) White and the 7 strings!
My 2cents....talk to Shawn about Mr. Bud Davis having a go at her!!!!
If that guitar were coming out of the hallway I work in, it would probably leave as a bass boat sparkle, and it would be awesome
Very cool.
Was a 7 string ever a private stock option?
Yeah but even even before the existence of the SE Production 7 Strings, PRS still made 7 Strings....... to quote Paul Smith via Dave Weiner in regards to 7 strings back in 2010, "We don't do it very often, but we do it very well" and so I'm sorry, I just don't get what the big deal about this project is.
Out of curiosity, how does the neck width compare to a purpose built 7 string neck? I'd be concerned that the string spacing would end up too close together and that in the end, it wouldn't be as playable as a purpose built 7 string neck......
Regardless, I am sure the PTC guys will do a wonderful job for you and I'm sure you will be happy with the results.
Just my 2 cents.....
Laugh, Love, Live, Learn - Devin Townsend
I'm very familiar with the Daves gear and that quote, but you have to understand when they do it - its done well IN Private Stock. Everything was measured out ahead of time and I wouldn't be doing it if we thought spacing would be an issue. Like I said, its been months of planning.

The thing about the project is (the way I see it) that one of our buds is getting a guitar the way he wants it by working with a PRS mad scientist (Skitchy) to transform one guitar into a different guitar...AND that our bud is really excited about it and it is a big deal to him...therefore, it is a big deal to us.
Plus its cool....

I just don't get the negativity in your posts...I think its rude. I think the way you phrased your comments could have been done with more tact. There is a better way you could have approached this if you wanted to learn about what actually is being done.
The PTC guys do not undertake projects they think will not work. They push boundaries which is a good thing. They are the best in the biz. I think this project rocks.
Last edited by Dirty Bob; 12-06-2012 at 08:52 AM.
Fair play dude. I still don't really get it, but I'll still be interested to see how it all turns out.
That's cool too, congrats to all involved.....but it doesn't mean I have to get it........instead I'll reserve judgement till its been completed, but even then, it's not my guitar or my money so in the grand scale of things, my opinion means zero.
I'm sorry if you think I'm being rude, that's not my intention, I'm just a straight shooter and call things as I see them, sometimes it may come off as rude, but really I just don't have time to sugar coat things and pander to the needs of the delicate/thin skinned.
As for the negativity towards this project, well there is nothing I can do about that because as a whole, while I don't think the idea is completely pointless, I do find it rather unnecessary, regardless of how long the planning has been under way.
I mean, If I was waiting 6 months for one type of heart surgery and a newer, better and more convenient type came along, I wouldn't still get the old type because it had been planned for longer......
Furthermore, just because twenty guys come along and say something is amazing and one person comes along and disagrees, doesn't instantly make the one person wrong and therefore deserving of chastising, it just means that the one dude (me in this case) has a difference of opinion and I am under the impression that this board is mature enough to be able to deal with a difference of opinion without instigating some kind of ousting or witch hunt...... right?
But like I said previously, I'm still interested to see how it pans out regardless of my initial thoughts up to this point. I am fully able and willing to eat humble pie if it turns out as brilliantly as it's being pre empted....
The work that the PTC dudes do was never under question, but that doesn't mean I have to like this project ....nor should I have to hold back my opinions when they have a constructive element (i.e. neck width concerns) to them which have already been addressed anyway.
Laugh, Love, Live, Learn - Devin Townsend
There is nothing wrong with being a straight shooter. There is also nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone. I did not take issue with that. I think that part of being able to effectively communicate in a diverse community and ultimately becoming a well received contributing member of that community is to consider how others will interpret your comments before you make them and word them in a way that your message comes across thoughtfully, clearly and concisely. Ultimately if not done in this fashion your message will be missed by the very audience you are trying to communicate with.
There's a fine line between Straight Shooter and....
See what you did Mike?! You put up a seemingly innocent post, but I think you had a devious plan in mind the whole time. "Let's see...what can I do to get the forum churning? bwahahaha"
