City: Post Office repairs not fast enoughBy Gordon Dirtschilo
Staff Writer | May 07,2013State and federal officials have reached a deal on the post office annex in Rutland, but the city would like to see the project move a little faster.
The West Street building has the distinction of being one of the few Art Deco terra-cotta structures in the state. As such, the Vermont Division of Historic Preservation took interest in repairs the U.S. Postal Service was making there in 2008.
The project came screeching to a halt, leaving scaffolding in place around the building and creating what local officials consider a massive eyesore at the gateway to downtown.
At issue was whether repairs to the facade would preserve the historic terra-cotta exterior.
Correspondence over the last week or so between the state and postal service show the agencies have agreed that the postal service will fabricate new terra-cotta bricks to match the existing ones on the facade.
The project also calls for the replacement of broken glass panels and refurbishment of steel frame windows, which will involve removal of lead paint and asbestos. The estimated completion date is late next year.
Noelle MacKay, commissioner of the Vermont Agency of Commerce, said last week that Historic Preservation found that acceptable and that she hoped to find ways to promote local appreciation of the buildings historic significance as the project goes forward.
However, in letters to the relevant parties signed by Rutland Redevelopment Authority executive director Brennan Duffy and forwarded by Mayor Christopher Louras to the Board of Aldermen, the city indicated it would not be satisfied until the work was done.
It has been the Citys position that we are more interested in the repairs actually being completed in timely manner than the material utilized, Duffy wrote. That said, we have tried to wait patiently while this matter was resolved between the Postal Service and VT SHPO.
Duffy went on to call 14-16 months excessive and to note that the timeline was qualified as barring unforeseen complications.
This phrase, considering the history of this project, does not instill any comfort, he wrote.
Duffy concluded by requesting a detailed explanation of why the work could not be finished this year and written assurances that the project would get the full attention of the Postal Service.

On Tuesday, January 29th, our Bearcats traveled to Valliant to take on Coach Aaron Noel's Bulldogs, who we haven't been able to beat in nine years. Our Bearcats knew this game would be a tough one, especially on the Bulldogs homecoming night, and they were prepared to go hard all four quarters.
Tip-off went to Valliant starting the first quarter off on a good note for them and an un-easy one for us. In the first period it was already becoming very clear that it was going to be a good game with evenly matched talent and drive, and the first period ended with a score of 9-8 Antlers. Sr. Forward Bryce Martin and Sr. Guard Caleb Smith tied for leading scorer of the first half with 6 points each. Sr. Guard Harlan House was right behind them with 5, and the first half closed with a score of 23-28 Valliant. In the second period Valliant proved they were wanting a win and our Bearcats came out at the half ready for a fight.
In the third period both teams played hard not giving the other an inch. Jr. Guard Tanner Brown went off in the second half putting up 14 points for our Bearcats, making him the leading scorer for the second half and the game. Sr. Forward Bryce Martin was a close second with 8 points, and the third period ended in a score of 43-44 Valliant. In the fourth period it was each team matching the other basket for basket and Coach Branton knew we needed to make something happen and called a crucial time out to motivate the boys. Coming back from this time out Sr. Guard Harlan House made 3 huge defensive steals that gave the rest of the team the second wind they needed and our Bearcats went on to steal this win in the last few minutes of the game with a score of 64-53 Antlers. Great Job Coach and Bearcats!
Game Stats: Jr. Tanner Brown 18p, 10r, 3s, 1a; Sr. Bryce Martin 14p, 10r, 3s, 0a; Sr. Harlan House 12p, 8r, 5s, 3a; Sr. Caleb Smith 12p, 9r, 1s, 4a; Jr. Morgan Nabors 6p, 9r, 0s, 3a; and Sr. Arizona Taylor 2p, 2r, 0s, 0a.View more articles in:

Assuming it uses the same speed blu-ray player as the PS4 (6x), that's 27 MB/s, which means it would only take about 5 seconds to load ~135MB. For comparison sake, a DVD drive at its max can only read 18 MB/s. Considering both next-gen consoles are rumored to support "instant play" within a few seconds, I can see 6x being enough (for the PS4 at least). I don't like the idea of having to install a game...that's what us old folks like to call a "PC".
Of course hard drives have read speeds of 125MBps+, so it'll be even faster if you install the game to the drive.

Cedar Creek Falls: No jumping, no booze
RAMONA The trail to Cedar Creek Falls in the Cleveland National Forest from the Ramona side, closed last year because of exploding popularity and overuse, will reopen this spring but under new, restrictive rules.
Hikers will be required to pay for daily visitor passes; the cliffs around the pool at the base of the falls will be off-limits; and the possession and consumption of alcohol in the area — at the San Diego River Gorge and Saddleback trailheads and along the San Diego River Gorge Trail and Eagle Peak Road trails that lead to the falls — will be strictly prohibited.
The trail that begins in the San Diego Country Estates in southern Ramona was closed to the public in July 2011, for several reasons all related to overuse, said Cleveland National Forest spokesman Brian Harris.
The falls in recent years — due partly to social media networking — had become as much a party destination as a hiking destination. Often hundreds of cars would line the streets around the trailhead's parking lot, which has only 29 spots. The situation angered Country Estate residents. Trash would often be left behind, and unauthorized trails were being created by all the people, causing environmental damage.
Safety also became an issue. The number of rescues having to be carried out along the trail had skyrocketed as unprepared hikers wearing inappropriate clothing and drinking beer rather than water would fail to appreciate the difficult climb back up to their cars and become overheated.
And there had been a number of deaths at the falls over the years, often caused by people jumping or slipping from rocks above the pool.
"It was really just the overuse of the area in addition to degradation of our natural resources out there," that led to the new rules, Harris said.
"Many of the visitors that were using the area were also consuming a fair amount of alcohol at the same time. We really feel that just the hike down there is hazardous enough that you need to be physically and mentally prepared and the use of alcohol in trying to make that hike to the falls is just not a good combination."
A plan to deal with the overuse of the Cedar Creek trails had been under development for several years. Then on July 6, 2011, a 16-year-old boy from El Cajon died when he fell from a cliff. The trails were shut down a few days later until a full plan could be implemented.
The permit system and closures are scheduled to begin in early April. Until then the trail from the Ramona side will remain closed. Hikers now can access the Falls from the eastern side of Eagle Peak Road. That area was reopened earlier this year but is far less accessible.
The online permit reservation system has not yet been implemented, Harris said, and the details are still being worked out.
Initially 75 visitor use permits for individuals or groups of up to five people will be available each day by reservation. Each permit will cost $6.

Helpful Definition for: Roofing Contractors
Roofing Contractors, in Salyersville, are people who engineer the construction of roofs after taking into consideration the area, climate and other factors. A roof is the uppermost part or covering of a building that protects the building from the effects of weather like rain, sunlight, heat, cold, snow and wind. The characteristics or type of roofing depends upon the purpose of the building that it covers, and also the local traditions of construction and wider concepts of architectural design.
The roof material may vary from banana leaves, wheaten straw to laminated glass, aluminum sheets or precast concrete. The construction of a roof is determined by the type of building, its method of support and whether or not the roof is pitched. Pitch is the angle at which the roof rises from its lowest to highest point. In most parts of the world, the roofs are sloped or pitched to make it waterproof and durable. The durability of a roof is a matter of concern, as it is that part of the building which is most exposed to harsh weather conditions. The shape of roofs differs greatly from one region to another, and the factors which influence the shape are the climate and the materials available for roof construction in Salyersville.

This pretty little stack was a Christmas gift
that I bought myself.
I wasn't particularly fond of this Amy Butler line when I first saw it…it's the same way I felt about Love…but once I had my hands on it I felt differently. You can find Soul Blossoms here, here, here, here, or here.
Have you seen the new Denyse Schmidt line Greenfield Hill? Do you like it?
(photo from here)
To be honest I was so disappointed when I saw this line. I think the color palate is really blah. That rose print would make a lovely skirt though and I'm sure I'll end up with a little in my stash.

Recipe by amom2boys
"A basic whole-grain pancake to get you going in the morning. We also like to change it up a bit by adding 1/2 cup applesauce and 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon instead of the banana."

1 cup
uncooked rolled oats
1 cup
whole wheat flour
3/4 cup
all-purpose flour
1/4 cup
brown sugar
2 tablespoons
dry milk powder
2 teaspoons
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
2 cups
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
banana, mashed
Quick tips - I omitted powdered milk, no biggie - Used all whole wheat flour (no all-purpose), still great - Blended quick oats to a flour-like texture and that worked perfectly - Rather than mashing banana, I just threw the egg, milk, banana and vanilla in the blender, mixed it all up and added it to the flour mixture, worked great. I have never been a whole wheat fan, but as I'm getting older and realize how important nutrition really can be, expecially with diabetes in the family, I am trying to just make better choices when possible and using less white flour and sugar is one of the big ones. This was my first whole wheat baking experience and I have to say they were not only much better than I thought they would be, they were FANTASTIC! I will be makng these often. Next time I may add flax seeds and/or protein power to add a little extra umph...probably won't even be able to tell
These were okay. They tasted very bananany, which I love and were healthy which was great. I just couldn't get them all the way cooked through without burning and had to microwave the two I tried. All that was fine because I made them strictly to freeze and eventually toast for quick breakfasts.
I did make a couple of changes. I added cinnamon and nutmeg, without even looking at the other reviews that suggested adding them. And I switched the two flour amounts, which could be the reason for my cooking problem.
And I got 15 pancakes, instead of 12.
375 Ratings
I thought these were awesome! I made a half-recipe since I was just cooking for my boyfriend and myself and it yielded 8 pancakes, 1/4 cup of batter each. To make them more healthy I used (for 3 servings) one egg white instead of the egg, 1.5 Tbsp applesauce instead of the oil, and skim milk. As others mentioned I added cinnamon and used a very ripe banana for mashing. With my substitutions the caloric content is about 195 calories per pancake and only 1g of fat, not bad! Thanks for the great recipe! I will be making these again!
I made these according to recipe, only adding a little nutmeg and cinnamon and using lowfat buttermilk instead of plain milk. With most pancake recipes that use oatmeal, I let the batter sit on the counter for a bit before making the pancakes. My kids gobbled these up and asked for seconds! I didn't eat any myself, but they sure enjoyed them. I served them with Absolute Best Pancake Syrup, which is also from this site. There were a few leftover, so I froze them in freezer bags in two portions for my kids so all I have to do is heat them in the toaster the next morning. A+ recipe.
Great recipe! The only changes I made here was to use quick cooking oats (didn't place in the blender), I added 2 bananas instead of 1, I also omitted the sugar and it was just perfect. I think that 1/4 cup of sugar would have been too sweet for our taste. Thanks for the recipe!
I was 1/2 asleep this am when I made these - and missed the whole grinding the oats step - yikes! Decided to forge ahead and make them anyhow - and WOW! They are so delicious! If you can mess up as much as I did and they still come out great - now that's a recipe!!! LOL! I didn't feel like dragging out the milk powder so skipped that..
A very good pancake. I recommend using less sugar and more banana. I liked it best with an additional egg, some flax, and chopped strawberries in the mix. It has a subtle oatty flavor, which I really enjoyed.
YUM! These were delish and healthy! I added an extra banana and about a tsp of cinnamon, and am glad I did. I think they may have been a little bland without this. I didn't have any of the dried milk powder on hand, so I didn't add that, and didn't miss it at all either. Thanks for the recipe!

The events will be held April 26-27 and Sept. 6-7, with the September Sprint Cup Series race again serving as the final race before the 2013 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup (the circuit's playoff equivalent).
The total financial benefit to the region as the result of both weekends – each of which includes a Nationwide Series and Sprint Cup Series race – is more than $300 million, according to RIR officials.
"Bringing NASCAR back to Richmond International Raceway twice next year is huge for everyone in Greater Richmond," said RIR President Dennis Bickmeier. "The money being pumped into our economy twice a year makes a big difference in the livelihood of the 1.3 million people who call Greater Richmond home. Hotels, restaurants, grocers and many other locally owned businesses will benefit when NASCAR flocks to RIR."
Tickets for the April NASCAR weekend go on sale Friday, Dec. 7. Fans who purchased tickets to this month's NASCAR weekend at RIR will be receiving renewal invitations in October. Guests who renew receive a savings on each ticket purchased, opportunity to keep their seats and may add or relocate seats before the general public.

Just What Workers Need: More Labor Civil War
As a rule, most merger or affiliation announcements between two organizations tend to the celebratory: Each group brings a proud history and now have joined together to create an even prouder future, yadda yadda. But not last Thursday's press release from the California Nurses Association/National Nurses United (CNA), which proclaimed its affiliation with the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW) in an announcement largely devoted to attacking the presumed perfidy of the Service Employees International Union, with which NUHW has been engaged in a prolonged blood feud that puts the Hatfields and McCoys to shame.
Broadly speaking, SEIU and CNA are the nation's two pre-eminent health-care worker unions, with CNA the leading organization of registered nurses and SEIU representing close to one million hospital orderlies and nursing home attendants. In 2009, after the two groups had waged a number of bitter organizing campaigns against each other for the right to represent the same groups of workers, they signed a three-year non-aggression pact, in which SEIU pledged to back off organizing RNs while CNA vowed to focus on them exclusively. On New Year's Day, though, the pact expired, and two days later, CNA hooked up with NUHW.
The leaders of NUHW are all former leaders of one of SEIU's largest and most successful locals, which represents most of SEIU's health-care workers in California. Those leaders, headed by Sal Rosselli, once one of SEIU's rising stars, had a bitter dispute with the national organization's leadership, then headed by SEIU president Andy Stern, which culminated in a classic "You're fired/You can't fire us; we quit" parting of the ways in 2009. Rosselli and his group then formed the NUHW, which has contested SEIU's representation of their former local's members in hospitals across California. In the largest such contest, in 2010, SEIU beat back the NUHW's attempt to win the right to represent the 43,000 members at the state's Kaiser hospitals. SEIU won by large margin, but the National Labor Relations Board invalidated its victory, ruling that SEIU had engaged in election practices that tainted the outcome.
Thursday's announcement from CNA concerned itself almost entirely with attacks on SEIU's alleged concessions to management at Kaiser and other California hospitals where it has members. There are genuine issues dividing the two unions' approaches on a range of questions. But what the affiliation announcement really makes clear is that the new CNA/NUHW organization will devote its energies to dislodging SEIU from its representation of California health care workers. There's not one word in the announcement concerning organizing workers not currently in unions—though CNA has an admirable record of organizing nurses in what had been unorganized hospitals. What the CNA/NUHW affiliation portends, however, is a hugely expensive jurisdictional battle for the already unionized employees of Kaiser and other California hospitals, which will probably drain the unions' treasuries at a time when precious little organizing of unorganized workers is going on anywhere in the country. Indeed, it's conceivable that more resources will go to this union-vs.-union battle in 2013 than will go to any other organizing campaign in the nation—and just possibly, given the atrophied state of organizing, to all other organizing campaigns in the nation.
Good grief.

The expense of this battle is unfortunate, but it's a battle for the direction and soul of labor that needs to be fought. There's a lot wrong with the way SEIU represents labor.
What the next economic structure (replacing neoliberalism when this systemic crisis finally comes to an end after long struggle over the terms) looks like will have a lot to do with how militant labor is in demanding new and better terms from capital. An expensive civil war may well weaken labor's immediate strength, but this economic crisis has a long way to go.
Those in power are still talking austerity and haven't yet recognized the need for much greater regulation of the financial sector. Those realities must be reversed for this crisis to end, In other words, they're still trying to solve the crisis of neoliberalism within a neoliberal framework.
So we'll be dealing with this economic crisis for a while yet. In the meantime, labor must settle its affairs, hopefully coming out of it not only stronger but with much greater militancy. Having a large war chest only helps so much if you're unwilling to really go to war.
Of course SEIU could make this war unnecessary by negotiating peace with CNA/NUHW under terms that would truly address the grievances California UHW had to begin with and set the movement on the militant path it needs to be on, but that doesn't seem very likely.
Wed, 2013-01-09 21:28
The commenter above believes that sacrificing labor's "immediate strength" to assure labor's capacity going forward to be "militant". The downside of this theory is that working people are scene as acceptable collateral damage. Our IMMEDIATE CONCERN must be to build organizations with the structure and capacity to build strength for working people by raising wages, benefits, and working conditions for entire sectors of the working class. A disdain for policies and leaders of SEIU in no way justifies this raid. A civil war that simply satisfies the anti-SEIU lefty lynch mob does not serve our movement.
Wed, 2013-01-09 23:15
Hal Meyerson's commentary on the NUHW-CNA affiliation is typically superficial and misleading. Instead of just playing the know-it-all pundit from afar, Hal might want to come back to California and actually talk to a few of the thousands of health care workers involved in what he dismisses as a "jurisdictional battle." I've interviewed workers on all sides of these California health care union wars during the past five years. Not a single one ever mentioned union "jurisdiction" as the reason for their involvement, which for many has been a tragic necessity. Instead, those who were among the 10,000 who have voted to leave SEIU and join NUHW often cited very specific examples of SEIU-negotiated contract concessions that are quite real, not merely "alleged" (and, thus, easily researched and confirmed, even by a journalist suffering from the fact-gathering lassitude displayed by Meyerson).
One relevant fact is that more than 10 percent of NUHW's membership is composed of formerly non-union health care workers. The largest group of workers NUHW has helped organize since its founding four years ago won bargaining rights and a first contract, after a six-year fight at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital. This campaign is well-described in former SEIU organizer Adam Reich's new book from Cornell University Press, With God on Our Side: The Struggle for Workers Rights in a Catholic Hospital. SEIU abandoned these 700 unrepresented workers in 2009, after the UHW trusteeship, and then tried, unsuccessfully, to prevent them from joining NUHW or any other union. There was nothing putative about the union "perfidy" involved.
At the joint NUHW and CNA press conference announcing their affiliation (which Meyerson did not attend), organizing of the unorganized on a broader scale was discussed as a longer-term goal of the NUHW-CNA partnership. For a more illuminating history of SEIU, CNA, and NUHW relationships, past and present, American Prospect readers might want to consult:
The California health care contract give-back trend--led by SEIU-UHW, but resisted by NUHW and CNA--is best documented on a regular basis at:
American Prospect readers deserve better, more first-hand reporting on this complex situation than Meyerson has any apparent interest in providing, given his longtime reliance on just reading press
releases and/or talking to a handful of his usual inside-the-Beltway union headquarters sources.
Best wishes,

I know this is shocking Harold, but labor organizations do not exist to make you feel good, take up a place in the progressive battle line, or for any other reason but to represent their members. Having your local trusteed for political or mercenary reasons is (for the workers involved) akin to being invaded by a foreign power.
I second Steve Early, who wrote a great book on this subject if you are really interested in the facts of the matter. I have good friends in the SEIU, but the organization's activities in California are unconscionable, as is your ill-informed pox-on-both-your-houses approach.
The "You're fired/You can't fire us; we quit" shows real ignorance about how the trusteeship was executed. Against all odds, the trusteed workers and their leaders fought back. This was an example of a fighting union being replaced by a company union, pure and simple. The term "fighting" meaning fighting FOR the workers and AGAINST the bosses, just so their is no misunderstanding.
A pathetic piece of work, really.
Sat, 2013-01-12 16:27
Steve Early would like you to think that the battle between NUHW and SEIU has nothing to do with jurisdiction. The fact is the battle started over jurisdiction when the President Sal Roselli refused to abide by a resolution passed at SEIU's International convention that took workers out of his local to be in a local with other workers from the same industry. I appreciate Meyerson not going along with the crowd and cutting through the anti-SEIU venom.

As an addendum Early has a lot of nerve for baiting Meyerson as an "outsider" "armchair" critic when he spends the majority of his time writing for a labor magazine (Labor Notes) that is staffed exclusively by an overwhelming majority of people who have never worked a union job in their lives whose sole purpose seems to be attacking the leadership of 99.9% of the labor movement.
Mon, 2013-01-14 12:34
Is "streetheat" referring to the same Labor Notes whose past conference speakers and/or newsletter contributors have included Tony Mazzochi, Bob Wages, Baldemar Velasquez, Ron Carey, Diana Kilmury, Karen Nussbaum, Nancy Wohlforth, Bill Fletcher, Leo Girard, Larry Cohen, Larry Hanley, and other past or present AFL-CIO council members, AFL headquarters staffers, International union presidents and executive board members?
Were they "attacking the leadership of 99.9% of the labor movement" or themselves as the other .1%?
Having heard them speak at Labor Notes conferences or read their contributions to its pages, I would say they were using Labor Notes as the unique forum that it is
to debate and discuss union organizing, bargaining, and strike strategy, plus many other relevant topics.
"streetheat" does not appear to be a very well informed little internet troll. Perhaps that explains his/her affinity for the lazy health care union reporting of Brother Meyerson?

From the Owner!
We would like to take the opportunity to update everyone on the hot water conversion progress as noted above. As of 30 August, all the old gas units have been removed and we have all cabins on electric water heating systems again. We truly hope this will eliminate the periodic irregularity in hot water supply being experienced by guests.
Regarding our WIFI, the system has been updated and a router that got affected by a nearby lightning strike has been replaced. Also, due to necessity, the entire system is now security protected. Therefore, returning guests will need to disconnect and reconnect their automatic connection settings in order to log on. Guests new to the hotel will not have to do this step. We hope that this will provide a more robust signal to the cabins!
Finally, our San Jose Aiport hotel survived the new "computer program" rollout with minimal chaos! Employee training is now complete and by all indications, the process has resulted in a significant improvement in organization of guest bookings, and a serious reduction in "sticky note" mayham!!!!

The main thrust of the discussions between President Shimon Peres and Mitt
Romney, the presumptive Republican candidate for president, was
Iran.Romney called on Peres at his official residence on Sunday morning
after concluding a meeting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.Peres
was keen to raise the issue of the threat that a nuclear Iran poses to world
stability.The two men were on the same page with regard to
Tehran.Romney completely concurred that the threat Iran would pose to
Israel, the region and the world is "incomprehensible and
unacceptable."Like Israel, he told Peres, the US is greatly concerned
about the development of Iran's nuclear capabilities, and will do everything
possible to prevent it from becoming a nuclear-armed nation.Peres
reiterated what he has said previously to various world leaders including US
President Barack Obama."We support the international coalition led by
the United State of America in its policy of economic sanctions, while leaving
all options on the table to deal with the threat of a nuclear Iran," he
said.Peres and Romney also discussed the escalation of the crisis in
Syria, the need for the resumption of peace talks between Israel and the
Palestinians, Israel's hopes in its relations with Egypt and various
developments throughout the Middle East.Romney told Peres that Israel
and the US share a deep and abiding friendship and a commitment to many years of
alliance. "We share a passion for freedom and democracy. We value human rights
and dignity; we have an appreciation for the power of free enterprise to lift
people from poverty; and we love peace and hope to share peace with our friends
and other nations throughout the world, he said."Romney emphasized
America's bipartisan support for and commitment to Israel's security.On
the Palestinian issue, Romney was in favor of a two-state solution, but was
adamant that Hamas cannot be part of a peaceful resolution.Romney was
very interested to hear Peres's estimation of how Israel's relations with Egypt
would pan out, and expressed the hope that there would be greater economic
cooperation between the two.He noted that Israel's reputation as a
"start-up nation," together with its advanced technology, could be beneficial as
a basis for upgrading economic relations with Egypt.In addition to

$199.26 - $279.57
Belltech Shock Absorbers
Belltech's lowering and lifting shocks are designed for lowered trucks and SUV's. It is quite often overlooked by owners of lowered vehicles to make sure their shock absorbers are effective. Certainly you want your lowered vehicle to handle just as well or better than before. With standard shocks, they will be depressed quite a bit and lose if not all, but most of their effectiveness. This will make your drive unpleasant and possibly dangerous. Belltech's lowering shocks are designed specifically for lowered vehicles to increase your rides comfort and safety.
Bilstein Shock Absorbers
Bilstein is known worldwide for their performance suspension products. Bilstein shock absorbers are built for the way you drive and the type of vehicle you own.

If you are into performance street driving, a Koni Sport shock absorber is for you. Adjustable damping allows you to finely tune the type of handling you desire.
Hotchkis HPS 1000 Shock Absorbers
The Hotchkis HPS 1000 shock absorber will achieve top performance without sacrificing comfort. Shock absorbers that are not manufactured for specific vehicles will cause each vehicle to handle a bit differently. This is due to each cars weight and its springs. A Hotchkis HPS 1000 shock absorber is produced for specific vehicles. This enables Hotchkis to finely tune their shock absorbers to exactly the way they want a driver to experience them.
Choose your vehicle above to find the shock absorber designed specifically for your vehicle or call us at (866)250-5542 to talk to one of our shock absorber experts.

Let's imagine that you have cancer and that you are a believer. You pray to God for a cure, you undergo surgery and chemotherapy, and the cancer does in fact go into remission.
What cured you? Was it the chemotherapy, or was it God?
In other words, is there any way to know whether God is playing a role or not when we pray?
The problem is that, in this imagined case, there is ambiguity. The Christian believes that God answered the prayer, but it could also be a simple coincidence.
The way to remove the ambiguity is to say a prayer that cannot be answered by coincidence. For example, instead of praying that God cures one person's cancer, pray that God eliminates all cancer tomorrow. There is only one way for that to happen. God would have to exist, and God would have to reach down from heaven and explicitly work a miracle on earth.
Posted 25 December 2012 - 13:56
A miracle, to me, would be a cure without any man-made intervention. Once man gets involved and you get cured, it's no miracle..

If you go by that definition there are no miracles, only things we don't understand.

In this wealthy community of lavish parties, high profile people, over-sized houses, and over-priced almost everything else, it's encouraging to learn about another affordable housing complex being built.
By November 2012, St. Michaels Housing complex in Amagansett, a 40 unit affordable housing project, paid for with HUD funds and property sold by Amagansett's St. Michaels Lutheran Church (at way below market value), will be up and running.
When I passed St. Michaels church and the neighboring construction site, I noticed how practical the site was: a clinic and gym will be within walking distance; as will the grocery across the street, and the small Amagansett post office. A crosswalk, newly completed on 27, will enable the residents to get from the complex to the other side of the road without risking life and limb.
I wanted to know who qualified, how it came about, who was responsible. So I called St. Michaels pastor, Katrina Foster, who agreed to meet with me and give me the facts.
"How will I know you?" I asked when we set a date and place.
"I'll look like a pastor" she said, but when she came in the door to the restaurant she looked only young. And happy. She and her very pretty nine-year old daughter Zoia sat down to talk with me. Her daughter immediately pulled out a book and I imagined Zoia was used to her mother giving up her time for other people.
"A single person," Pastor Foster said, "who can make no more than $36,000, qualifies; $46,000 for a couple. They pay 30 percent of their income for the yearly rental. If they have medical expenses, the 30 percent they pay is after medical expenses are deducted. There's a lottery of 100 people and we draw 40 people from the lottery based on, one, the homeless (and that constitutes anyone living on someone's couch or in their car; it really MEANS homeless), two, disabled people and, three, people with the lowest income.
"The minimum age is 62," she continued. "The 40 people can be from anywhere — from Alaska or anywhere and they don't have to belong to our church or any church. They don't have to meet all three criteria, but highest priority is given to homeless first, then disabled and lowest income. An able-bodied person or couple who have a home and are not disabled and who fall within the income guidelines will qualify, but priority is given to those most vulnerable. There'll be a superintendent at the complex and we'll also have a 3500 square foot community center for not only the residents but the whole community."
"All of this," she said "is for people who have given to their communities as fishermen or teachers, service people; anyone not in a position to stay because they're unable to find affordable housing. Now St. Michaels will be able to provide such a place, as Whalebone and Windmill Villages One and Two already do."
"Under the radar," she said, "is a whole way of life in which people look out for other people. For people who are old, infirm, and without means. It has to do with what it means to live a religious life; it's a culture of generosity. People donate money or their time; they volunteer to make meals. St. Michaels sold five acres of its land at way below fair market value for this project."
She told me that Michael de Sario (president of the housing board that secured funding) and Gerry Mooney (a member of St. Michaels and manager of the other existing affordable housing complexes) kept the project going for the ten years it took. But this involved lots and lots of people who never gave up.
"None of us ever gave up and sometimes it was rough going."
Then she asked if I knew the parable of The Insistent Widow. When it was clear I didn't, she explained that it involved a judge and a widow in the same town.
"The widow went to the judge asking for justice and help but the judge refused her," the pastor said. "The widow went back day after day after day. She never gave up. Finally the judge gave in. That's what we do. We never give up. We just keep working until things get done."
Before coming here, Pastor Foster was pastor in the Bronx for 16 years where she earned the Bronx Borough President's Citation of Merit in 2000 and 2004, and was awarded the NAACP's Women Who Make a Difference Award in 2001. She began serving Incarnation and St. Michaels Lutheran churches in the Hamptons Lutheran Parish on the East End in 2010 when she was told there was a spot in Amagansett where she could be useful.
"I'm here with my wife and our daughter and an array of animals," she said.
"What do you do when you're not serving your congregation and everyone who needs help?" I ask…. "IF and WHEN you ever have free time?"
"We go to the beach" she says. "Zoia loves the beach. All three of us, and one dog, love the beach."

Twice a year in the heart of Silicon Valley, a small investment firm called Y Combinator selects an elite group of young entrepreneurs from around the world for three months of intense work and instruction. Their brand-new two- or three-person start-ups are given a seemingly impossible challenge: to turn a raw idea into a viable business, fast.
Each YC session culminates in a demo day, when investors and venture capitalists flock to hear pitches from the new graduates. Any one of them might turn out to be the next Dropbox (class of 2007, now valued at $5 billion) or Airbnb (2009, $1.3 billion).
Randall Stross is the first journalist to have fly-on-the-wall access to Y Combinator. He tells the full story of how Paul Graham started this ultra exclusive institution, how it chooses among hundreds of aspiring Mark Zuckerbergs, and how it teaches them to go from concept to profitability in record time.
©2012 Randall Stross (P)2012 Random House Audio
"Great background on what it takes on startups"
It covers a broad range of challenges facing startups, and offers valuable insight. It discusses founder challenges, funding, structuring etc.
"Great info, I learned a lot"
I loved learning more about YC
I did not like the narrator
He has some odd pronunciations which become annoying to listen to
I like to listen to business, self-development, behavioural and books that challenge my perspective
"Must have for startup folks"
The story was interesting the whole time and the information was useful
For someone thinking about startups the book gave an insight into the ups and downs of a startup
Book Aficionado
"Y Combinator Story"
New venture financing is about playing the odds for the investors. Y Combinator provides a workable model. Delightful reading for sure.
Head of Development, persuing masters degree in information visualization
"Not a how to, but a great lessons learned"
I bought this book thinking it would be a sort of how to for those considering the idea of starting a start up. What I found was the perfect lessons learned from the greatest launch pad I've heard of. It's a bit too sales pitches but a great read nonetheless.
"Fantastic in many ways!"
Great voice and delivery on an interesting topic. Highly recommended for anyone interested in this area.
The access that the author had
"Inspiring, enlightening and highly entertaining"
If you're interested in software or start-up tech, this is an incredible read. The book is packed with invaluable insights, interesting problems to contemplate, and inspiring stories.
It is very well written, with a smooth flow of events through one summer session at YC. I honestly can't recall a single boring moment through the entire book. I wish there was a book for every YC session.
"Interesting Content"
Interesting insight to into the culture of one of the most innovative communities. The story goes a bit more into personal relationships than I prefer, however the entrepreneurial spirit and excitement conveyed makes it more manageable.
"Clear Account of the Startup World"
The Launch Pad clearly presents the listener with a picture of what it is like to endure the pressure of the Y-Combinator startup process. In more of the style of a newspaper article, the author logs specific events providing insight into the lives of early entrepreneurs. While the book clearly achieves its purpose, it does not provide any stunning revelations or drama. While mundane, it is a worthy read for those interested in taking on a venture in the technology sector.
"Must-read for any aspiring VC"
I would higly recommend this book to anyone seriously interested in startups from both investor and founder point of view.
This book has tons of great examples of founder and investors at works, sleeves up, hands down with nitty-gritty details regarding daily job of running and investing in startups. Very motivational for someone looking to get a glimpse into the world of Silicon Valley.
I was particularly moved by the examples shown regarding the motivation needed to ABC: always be closing, as pictured with the example of Vidyard trying to setup a cooperation and/or a meeting with AirBNB to try to replace their existing video-hosting partner as pictured below with a fragment of the book itself:
When Michael Litt looks at Airbnb's Web site, which makes use of videos, he sees a natural home for Vidyard's services. Airbnb's AirTV section has videos of the more unusual lodging listings or colorful Airbnb hosts— its nickname is "the 'Cribs' of Airbnb." Vidyard's software is not finished, but Litt goes after Airbnb, sending an e-mail to the cofounders, Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia. It is the very first week of the summer session. Always Be Closing.
The subject heading of Litt's first e-mail message is "AirTV— Current YC company looking for some quick insight!" He opens, "Hey Guys, Sorry to bother. We're building a platform for video serving (encoding, analytics, customization included) and would love some insight into what you guys are doing with AirTV." He says Vidyard could add analytic reports to the videos that they are already serving or "we can serve and take the entire piece off of your shoulders." He closes with a mention that both Vidyard and Airbnb have shared parentage. "Thanks and let me know— we're very glad to be YC!"
His message is forwarded to Venetia Pristavec, the manager in charge of Airbnb's videos. Airbnb presently is using the video service of Vid Network, a startup that does the video hosting and analytics that Vidyard plans to offer. But Pristavec says that Airbnb is looking for a new video provider. Unfortunately for Vidyard, Airbnb has narrowed the field of replacement candidates to a pair of big names in video hosting, Ooyala and Brightcove. Clearly, Airbnb has decided to move away from relying on a startup and instead shift to a much larger company as its video supplier.
Litt is not daunted. He asks Pristavec if she has time for a chat. "It just so happens we're in a bid for another initiative with Ooyala and Brightcove," he says, suggesting implicitly that Vidyard is able to hold its own while battling with the big boys. He asks Pristavec only for information, for her "perspective" on the reasons for switching from Airbnb's current video host. "I promise I won't try to sell to you. I'm not a salesman— we're just looking for feedback from potential users," he says.
Meanwhile, Paul Graham dashes off a note to Pristavec and to Airbnb's cofounders, testifying to the Vidyard team's work ethic and asking that they be given an opportunity to make their pitch before a final decision is reached. Litt follows with an impassioned follow-up e-mail addressed directly to Gebbia. "This is an awesome opportunity that we are willing to work our asses off for," he writes. "It goes without saying that your brand would hold some amazing clout for us and the timing is perfect
for both parties."
Litt dispatches more e-mails but it is all for naught. Airbnb does not budge from its original plan and Vidyard does not get the chance to make its pitch to land the contract. Litt does not pause. "Sorry to be a pain," he writes Airbnb again, confessing that "we're really putting on the hustle." He proposes that Vidyard produce some videos for Airbnb. This offer will not lead to a commission either. But to Litt, there is never a definitive no, there is only to-be-continued.
"Must Read for Startups"
The paragraph on gender differentiation in the start-up world.
It was ok.
It made a bit frustrated and angry at times with the hypocritical and sexist approach that the lead character selects his start-ups. It's very money driven without any considerations for the best interests of the person. Must read if you are thinking or have recently launched a company - there is some good advice in it about how to pitch and sell your business but i wouldn't go down the route of incubators after this read.

Ulverston pilot sparks rescue mission
Last updated at 23:06, Saturday, 12 January 2013
A GYROCOPTER pilot from near Ulverston sent a scare through residents of a small village in South Cumbria on Saturday when he was mistakenly thought to have crash landed.
Police received a report from a witness at around 1.50pm claiming the gyrocopter had lost control and crashed after it was spotted flying low about two miles north of Bootle.
The caller said the pilot was flying near houses and had come close to hitting power lines as he rapidly descended.
Officers attended the scene to find the male pilot – from Loppergarth outside of Ulverston – had grounded the aircraft amid concerns about flying in the worsening weather.
Emergency services, including a crew from Barrow Fire and Rescue, were mobilised but the pilot was uninjured.
However, when the weather improved enough for him to fly again, a mechanical fault meant the aircraft could not get off the ground and needed to be transported.
It is understood that the pilot was on his way to Cark-in-Cartmel when the incident occurred.

How to Stay Married for 10 Years: Distortion and Apologies
In one month, Rob and I will be celebrating 10 years of complete marital bliss. Complete. Take the photo above for example. My husband took this picture of me and my sisters in a tree house. I'm twenty pounds heavier than them but it's obvious the camera has wildly distorted me. I look like a giant ape about to swing from the branches. After seeing it, I was whining about looking huge and told him to shift his position so he would have a direct forward shot. In my most condescending voice, I told him this small adjustment would help avoid distortion. His response? "Sharon, you're bigger than your sisters. I can't change that." Whoa. What is that suppose to mean, anyway? My face dropped and responded with something like, "You're awful!" and ran off to sob in the bathroom for hours. Just kidding. I made him take another picture. And this time make me look skinny damn it. He nailed it, even with my seething inside. He knew he said the stupidest thing and apologized a billion times. It took a few hours, but it eventually became our running joke of the trip.
This basically has been the set up for our entire marriage: Rob trying to do something nice for me (take a photo), I criticize it (no, stand here!), he gets defensive (you're big!), and then surprises me with brilliance anyway (nailed the shot). Insert a trillion apologies, and in the end, we've accumulated endless amounts of inside jokes because of our blunders. Complete marital bliss indeed.
20 comments:
This is hilarious! And as someone who's been with my husband for 13 years now, I can safely say that while no two paths to marital bliss are identical, yours surely will ring true for many of us! People who think marital bliss is just getting along perfectly all the time are totally delusional. The key is getting over things quickly, and learning to laugh and each other and ourselves. Happy 10!ReplyDelete
Loved your comment. I've been living with my boyfriend for 4 years now and feel exactly like you. Getting over things quickly and laughing it off is our way of dealing with differences and keeping the spirit fun.Delete
