Once you leave Puerto Barrios for Cancun by way of the main paved highways
you will find gasoline filling stations at regular intervals and there will be no excuse
for running out for anyone riding a bike with a decent capacity tank .
Fill up first thing every morning and if your supply drops below half or before
going off the main highways to explore gravel roads into the back country of
Guatemala or Belize.
Pto Barrios ,Rio Dulce, Poptun , tri- cities at Flores, El REMATE,, Melchor De Mencos
and others all can serve you gas.
Belize , same story , gas at all towns on Western Highway to BZ City,
Hummingbird is short , gas at junction to Southern Hiway and Dangriga,
Southern Hiway gas at several points a bit off the road at Big Creek and Placencia
at Dump and Punta Gorda
Northern highway at various towns well within range of even the.
tiniest tank.
In Mexico gas is right at the border, in nearby Chetumal, and convenient spacings along Mex 307
all the way to Cancun.
Same story all overMexico' s highways really, pay attention to your distance till last fill
and top up if the distance to next town seems long . There will be no excuse for
sputtering to a halt

State allocates funds to assist former Georgia Pacific employees
The State of Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) has awarded Duluth a $285,000 grant from the State Workforce Development Funds, Mayor Don Ness is expected to announce Friday.
The funds are made available to assist former employees of Georgia Pacific. The corporation closed its Duluth plant in early fall, putting 141 employees out of work. The grant will help the city serve up to 80 dislocated workers who are skilled and experienced but too young to retire and/or need additional training or assistance in order to return to the labor workforce. Financial assistance will also be available for retraining programs.
The grant is effective immediately and runs through the end of 2013, with an option to request an extension if needed.Previous Daily Briefing Articles:

Witold Rybczynski Awarded National Building Museum's Scully Prize
CNU XV Plenary speaker called one of the most "original and stimulating" voices on architecture and urban designSubmitted on 01/11/2007. Tags for this image:
The Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) is proud to announce that CNU XV plenary speaker Witold Rybczynski will soon receive the prestigious Vincent J. Scully Prize given by the National Building Museum. On January 17th, 2007, acclaimed architect, author, professor, and scholar Witold Rybczynski will become the 8th recipient of the award. His name will be added to the list of other legendary past winners such as Jane Jacobs, Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, His Highness the Aga Khan, and His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, Phyllis Lambert, and Vincent J. Scully himself. Rybczynski is recognized by CNU for his broad spectrum of knowledge and work that in so many ways parallels the goals of new urbanist development.
Rybczynski is presently the Martin and Margy Meyerson Professor of Urbanism at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Design. His architectural criticisms can be found regularly in Slate online magazine, and he has published such books as Home (1986), the J. Anthony Lukas Prize-winning A Clearing in the Distance (1999), and a forthcoming book entitled Last Harvest which he will present at the Congress this May. Library Journal has called Rybczynski "one of the most original, accessible, and stimulating writers on architecture."
The National Building Museum's Vincent Scully Prize awards recipients for exceptional practice, scholarship, or criticism in urban design, architecture, landscape architecture, or historic preservation. The award was created on behalf of Vincent J. Scully, the Sterling Professor Emeritus of the history of art at Yale University and a distinguished visiting professor at the University of Miami. Scully's excellence in teaching and scholarship has impacted the work of commendable architects and planners for more than forty years and helped promote a greater understanding of New Urbanism.
This award will be presented at the National Building Museum's Museum Hall. The cost is $12 Museum for members and students, and $20 for non-members. Prepaid registration is required. Walk-in registration is based on availability.
Also, come hear Rybczynski speak at CNU XV in Philadelphia, PA being held May 17-20, 2007.

Lagos, Nigeria (PANA) — Female civil servants in Nigeria's economic capital, Lagos, have threatened to march naked on the state house if their detained members were not released within 24 hours, in the latest twist to the 17-day strike by public sector workers.
The workers' leader, Ayodele Akele, issued the ultimatum to the government and the police a few hours after he was released from detention Thursday. The workers are demanding wage increase.
Five other detained workers, including two females, who were arrested along with Akele on Tueday, are still in detention.
One worker was killed and several others injured on Wednesday as the civil servants protested the arrest of their colleagues.
"The state civil servants have resolved to give a 24- hour ultimatum with effect from today (Thursday) to the government and police to release all detained five workers, failing which all the female civil servants will march naked on the governor's lodge," the Council of Industrial Unions (COIU), the umbrella body for the state workers' unions, announced.
The state government was yet to react to the ultimatum, even as it continued denying ordering the arrest of the workers.
In separate letters to state police commissioner Mike Okiro and the director of the country's internal security body, State Security Service, Olusegun Agbaje, Governor Bola Tinubu sought to know the extent of their investigation of Akele's arrest and detention in particular.
"I am concerned that as at today no word has been received of his (Akele's) whereabouts," he wrote before the workers' leader surfaced Thursday.
"Kindly verify from all formations, including the federal operations, if any order was given for the arrest of Mr. Akele and precisely who gave such orders."
But Akele insisted that security operatives, who he said detained him and kept him incommunicado, picked him up.
"I was shoved into a Peugeot car and sandwiched between two men who abducted me to prevent me from knowing where I was being taken to," he claimed, while describing his arrest as a "gangster type situation".
The arrest has generated much controversy in a country where memories of such arbitrary arrests and detention, particularly under the late military dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha, are still too vivid to forget.
Observers say if the arrest and detention of the workers by the police were true, they signal a fearful reversal of the new-found freedom under civil rule, to which the country returned in May last year, after 15 unbroken years of military rule.
Meanwhile, the state government and the workers are yet to reach an agreement on the minimum wage issue.
The workers are still sticking to their demand of 7,500 naira as monthly minimum wage while the government has said it will only pay 5,500 naira as agreed Monday by the governors of the 36 states in the country.
The strike, which has spread to most states of the federation, has also received the backing of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), the nation's overall workers body, which issued a statement Thursday justifying the industrial actions.
Senate president Chuba Okadigbo has also commented, saying only the executive arm of government could resolve the running battles in the states.
"We passed the National Minimum Wage Bill on the advice of the executive. It was the bill. There was no contrary bill, even as a private member motion by the state government, or by any other organisation," Okadigbo said Thursday after returning from a trip abroad.
The federal government has rescinded its 1 May announcement stipulating 5,500 naira as monthly minimum wage for state and local government workers, giving both levels of government the latitude to fix their workers' wages.

Born in Oxford in 1961, Duncan grew up in the Midlands where he still spends a substantial part of the year. Despite living so far inland, he managed to develop a passion for the sea, and spent a highly significant eighteen months sailing across the Atlantic and then around the coast of Britain. He now spends part of the year back home in the Midlands, and the rest of the time in Scotland.
Taking his inspiration from the surrounding landscape and of course the sea, Duncan is particularly fascinated by the effects of natural light on colour.

Incredible taste + accessible recipes and organization = your new favorite cookbook!. . . . .
I've had this cookbook for years--and was privileged enough to help test a few recipes before it was published! I have bought this cookbook for so many friends and am just looking on the website again because I passed my own copy on to a friend just moments ago!
The cookbook is accessible in presentation and content, the organization is clear both in the beginning of each section (with individual veggies highlighted down the side) and in the back index. I've never made a recipe I didn't enjoy and/or receive innumerable compliments for.
It's going to become one of your favorites!
Fabulous cook book!!. . . . .
This cook book is incredible. I have purchased it again and again for many friends. I think there are only three bad recipes in the entire book. If you like healthy, delicious cooking with veggies in season, this cook book is for you. I highly recommend it.

Does this void my warranty, is my warranty already voided? Do I have to have the appropriate files to reflash to the prior state? Can I flash from the state my phone is in directly to 6.5?
If your concerned about warranty, your best bet is to head to the service centre and forget about OCTANS. I would say if you updated via PC Suite, which I suppose is the official method of updating your phone firmware/Rom, and it goes wrong, then Samsung needs to deal with it.
In my case, my country hasn't even got the Omnia 2, so the service centre here wouldn't even know what to do with it if it hit them across the face. So OCTANS is really my only method. Whether it voids warranty is debatable in my opinion, because the firmware and Rom's that Secany provide are still official Samsung ROM's. Its just that they just haven't been flashed by an official means (but Samsung don't know that, so you can use that to your advantage).

What is the purpose of this Book?
One of the goals of the Uganda Linux User Group is to better promote the use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), but far to often we lose sight of this and how to get this more into the public eye. As such the purpose of this book is to quickly assist someone new to the world of Open Source Software to understand what is possible. It also helps those of us who actively advocate FOSS to have a centralized document to which we can refer people.
It will also be used to create future topics and tutorial events themed around it. Where possible it will reuse already existing information from other websites and sources to prevent 'reinventing the wheel'
The book will be editable by all members of the website, editors may at some point be assigned to each section to allow a structure and quality control process to occur, but as much as possible we would like this to be a community project, and shared knowledge.
The structure of the section will be in the form of a FAQ i.e. Can I use Linux to play music?
Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer

The New Way NYC Crooks Steal Sneakers From Store Displays
Sneaker thieves in New York City are finding more ways to successfully steal goods without alarming security. Thieves are frequently stealing a left shoe from one store and a right shoe from another store.
"They go to Foot Locker, which has all right-sided shoes. Then they come here because we display left-sided shoes," Salissou Mohamam, manager of SoHo sneaker store Michael K, told the New York Post.
Mohamam estimated that he loses about 50 display shoes a year to thieves, amounting to over $17,500 each year.
"They know before they steal which stores are selling which styles and sizes, left and right. They calculate before they come in," said Jennifer Lee, 52, owner of the Sneaker Box in the Bronx.
Some store managers are trying to attach the shoes to the wall to prevent thefts.
Abbas Diallo, owner of Diallo Cap in Harlem, said he first experienced a heist in January when he caught a man in his forties trying to steal the right side of a $350 pair of Penny Hardaway Nike Foamposite.
I wasn't paying attention. At first, I asked myself why would someone steal one shoe. Now I know.
Diallo now keeps the 15 top-selling shoes in a display case.

Budget Update
A Contribution by Vice President Johanna D'Aleo (Administration)
Last month —
The Legislature passed the State University of New York budget bills and a debt reform bill. The bills were generally as expected. Major changes in the Executive Budget are as follows.
State-operated campuses: $5.1 million was added to the operating budget, with this distribution specified:
$2.7 million more for the Educational Opportunity Program,
$1.1 million more for child care,
$1 million for new academic achievement scholarships,
$0.5 million for a Marine Disease and Pathology Research Consortium,
$275,000 less for charter schools.
Additionally, it was specified that:
$1 million in Mission Review funds must be used for full-time faculty;
A Priority Needs lump sum be allocated as $5.6 million for campus operations and $3.3 million for contingency, with a five-day subsequent notice of any allocation from this account;
A lump sum available for distribution will be $23.6 million for collective bargaining and $14 million for sponsored research and enrollment growth, $3.4 million of which must be used for additional full-time faculty. Before the Trustees can approve the campus allocations under the Performance Based Budget System, there must be a public review process concerning the proposed allocation, to be completed five days prior to Trustees' approval.
In the meantime:
$12 million was added to the Stabilization Fund to allow campuses to spend this year's available revenue,
$10 million was added to the Dormitory Income Fund,
$500,000 was added for Cooperative Extension,
$21 million was added to the State University Tuition Reimbursable Account to allow expenditure of 2000-01 anticipated revenue related to enrollment increases.
Community colleges:
$12.9 million was added to base operating aid, which relates to the $125 per student increase;
$3.1 million was added to restore the Fashion Institute of Technology chargeback;
$3.2 million was added for full-time faculty lines;
$1 million was added for contract courses;
$880,000 was added for child care.
Last week — It was announced that each SUNY campus (including four-year colleges and two-year technical and specialized schools) will receive an increase of about $1.6 billion (5 percent) for the upcoming academic year. SUNY administrators configured campus allocations based on enrollment, research projects and other factors. The SUNY Board of Trustees will vote on these allocations this week. SUNY New Paltz is likely to receive $40,969,000 for 2000-01, an increase of $1,451,000 (3.7 percent more than this academic year).

Soggy Bottoms
Well, we had pizza night #3 over the weekend and, I must say, they are getting progressively better and more creative. My oldest built a fine calzone, the middle one made an apple turnover, and the youngest, Kyle, made this "pop tart-looking" thing by spreading rasberry jelly on a half baked skin, topping it with cream cheese and then baking it. They were all delicious!One strange thing though.
The thin-crust pizzas that I have been making are soggy on the bottom - in the middle that is. They are browned nicely and they taste good, but I can't cut a wedge, fold the outer crust, and eat it by hand without it collapsing. And the leftovers, traditionally one of my favorite breakfast foods, are even soggier. My wife has been making her crust a bit thicker and cooking them longer in a cooler spot - close to the entrance. Hers are not soggy and are excellent the next morning.
I am wondering if my oven is too hot. If they are cooking faster than the dough can bake. Or might I be useing too much sause?
Has anyone else expirienced this?
Re: Soggy Bottoms
Great topic. I've moved it to Pizza.
Re: Soggy Bottoms
could be that the dough is too thin in the center
Re: Soggy Bottoms
Re: Soggy Bottoms
My wife says I have a soggy bottom ;(
What are your oven floor temps like dusty?
Re: Soggy Bottoms
Normally, soggy dough is signal of wet fillings.
Drain the tomatoes when doing sauce, protect your pizza disk with a thin layer of EVOO, before to add the sauce.
Do not use fat muzz or lots of filling.
Could your oven be unbalanced in temperature?
In charging the oven with a lot of wood, the dome temperature goes fast to higher temperatures while the hearth is still cold due to be protected from the heat by the wood over it.
Even if the dome walls are not embeded with heat, the surface of them are hot, and helped by live flames, burns the pizza toppings and the cornicione in less than a minute, while the center of the dough (on the not so hot hearth) is not cooked.
I hope this help.
Re: Soggy Bottoms
I can't recall the actual number, but I think hot- hot. I got the dome to go clear, I let the fairly good sized fire burn down for about 15 minutes, then raked it to one side, brushed and started cooking. I dunno. 750? I will make a note next time. Have you not had this problem?
Re: Soggy Bottoms
Thanks Luis, that did help. I have not been draining the tomatos. I have just smashed them and been useing the juice too. Very moist.
BTW. What is EVOO?
Re: Soggy Bottoms
EVOO = extra virgin olive oil
Re: Soggy Bottoms
Same problem I had for the first two pizza nights. I raked the coals over the entire floor for about 15 minutes, then pushed it all to one side and added several more pieces of wood to get the flame burning from that side all the way to the other.
Then it was way too hot for the first pizza, but the crust was done in the middle. I didn't use the thermometer the last time but I'm thinking the oven was above 850. I let it cool a bit and tried again, less burning, crusts still done. In my oven, I think the flames have to be crossing the midline of the dome to keep the oven to pizza temp.
Hang in there. Re-read the oven management tips. Learn how your oven works. I don't think its the dough being too thin. That would require less heat to cook. Too much sauce or too watery - sounds reasonable.

The story of Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption begins in 1948 when Andy Dufresne arrives at Shawshank prison. In contrast to most other convicts, Dufresne is not a hardened criminal but a soft-spoken young banker, convicted of killing his wife and her lover. His crime bears many similarities to the real-life Sam Sheppard case. Like almost everyone else in Shawshank, Dufresne claims to be innocent. As we later learn throughout the novella, Andy, unlike almost everyone else in Shawshank, actually is innocent.
Red, the narrator, has an ability to deliver contraband of almost any type (except hard drugs and weapons) into Shawshank. This makes him an important man within the prison's social structure - "I'm a regular Neiman-Marcus", he tells us - and it is also the reason that he first becomes acquainted with Andy.
As a free man, Andy had been a rock-hound, and now he has immense amounts of free time on his hands, so he asks Red to get him a rock hammer, a tool he uses to shape the rocks he finds in the exercise yard into small sculptures. The next item he orders from Red is a large poster of Rita Hayworth. When taking the order, Red reflects that Andy is, quite uncharacteristically, excited like a teenager about the poster, but does not think more of it at the time.
One spring day, Andy and Red and some other prisoners are tarring a roof when Andy overhears a guard griping over the amount of tax he will have to pay on an inheritance he has just been left by an estranged brother. Andy approaches him (almost getting thrown off the roof in the process) and tells him that he can legally shelter the money from taxation. Andy offers to help the guard to prepare the necessary paperwork for the transaction, in exchange for some beer for the other prisoners on the roof. The guard agrees, and as word of the occurrence spreads, more and more of the prison staff discover that they can use Andy's help for tax returns, loan applications, and other financial advice, at no charge, of course. He quickly becomes a valuable asset for the staff, and the warden.
A gang of aggressive prisoners called "The Sisters", led by Bogs Diamond, gangs up on and rapes any prisoners they feel they can handle, and Andy is no exception. However, when Andy makes himself useful to the guards, he gets protection from "The Sisters". One night Bogs is found in his cell, unconscious and severely beaten. Andy is also allowed to stay alone in his cell instead of having a cell mate like most other prisoners. For a short period, he shares a cell with an Indian called Normaden, but is soon alone again, Normaden having complained about a "bad draft" in the cell.
Andy's work assignment is shifted from the laundry to the prison's small library, then under the stewardship of Brooks Hatlen, one of the few other prisoners with a college degree. Red dryly notes that Brooks' degree is in animal husbandry, "but beggars can't be choosers." The new assignment also allows Andy to spend more time doing financial paperwork for the staff. When Brooks is paroled, Andy takes charge of the library and starts to send applications to the Maine state Senate for money for books. For a long time he gets no response to his weekly letters until the Senate finally relents, thinking Andy will stop requesting funds. Instead of ceasing his letter writing, he starts writing twice as often. His diligent work results in a major expansion of the library's collection, and he also helps a number of prisoners earn equivalence diplomas, preparing them for life after parole.
The warden of Shawshank, Norton, also realizes that a man of Andy's skills is useful. He has started a program called "Inside-Out" where convicts do work outside the prison for minimum wages. Normal companies outside cannot compete with the cost of Inside-Out workers, so sometimes they offer Norton bribes not to bid for contracts. This cash has to be laundered somehow, and Andy makes himself useful here as well.
One day, Andy hears from another prisoner, Tommy, whose former cellmate had bragged about killing a rich golfer and some hot-shot lawyer's wife (Andy interprets "lawyer" to mean "banker"), and framing the lawyer for the crime. Upon hearing Tommy's story, Andy sees the possibility of a new trial that may prove he is innocent. Norton scoffs at the story, however, and as soon as possible he makes sure Tommy is moved to another prison, presumably as compensation for promising that he never talk about this anymore. Andy is too useful to Norton to be allowed to go free, and furthermore he knows details about Norton's corrupt dealings. After spending a couple of months in solitary, Andy resigns himself that the prospect for his legal vindication has become non-existent.
Before being sentenced to life, Andy managed, with the help of his law partner, to sell off his assets and invest them under a pseudonym. This made-up person, Peter Stevens, has a driver's license, social security card, and other credentials. The documents required to claim Peter Stevens' assets and assume his identity are hidden under a black rock in a rock wall lining a hay field in the small town of Buxton, not too far from Shawshank.
After eighteen years in prison, Andy shares the information with Red, describing exactly how to find the place and how one day "Peter Stevens" will own a small seaside resort hotel in Mexico. Andy also tells Red that he could use a man who knows how to get things. Red, somewhat confused about why Andy has confided this information in him, reflects on Andy's continued ability to surprise.
One morning after he has been incarcerated for nearly twenty seven years, Andy disappears from his cell. After searching the area without finding him, the warden looks in his cell and discovers that the poster on his wall (now showing Linda Ronstadt) covers a man-sized hole. Andy had used his rock hammer not just to shape rocks, but to dig a hole through the wall. Once through the wall, he broke into a sewage pipe, crawled through it for some 500 yards, emerged into a field beyond prison's outer perimeter and vanished. His rock-hammer and prison uniform are found outside the pipe. How he got any further away from there with no equipment or clothing, nobody can determine.
A few weeks later, Red gets a blank postcard from a small town near the Mexican border, and surmises that Andy crossed the border there. Shortly afterwards, Red is paroled. After forty years' imprisonment, he finds the transition to life "outside" to be a difficult process. On the weekends, he hitch-hikes to Buxton, searching for suitable hay fields from Andy's "directions". After several months of wandering the rural town roads, he does find a field with a rock wall on the correct side. It even has a black rock in it. Under this rock, he finds a letter addressed to him from "Peter Stevens" inviting him to join him at the town he had told him about. With the letter are twenty fifty dollar bills. The story ends with Red violating his parole to follow Andy to Mexico.

While Android 4.2 did not get a new name, it did bring some new features including a completely over-hauled camera app with a new feature called PhotoSphere. It is just a matter of a few weeks, or perhaps days, before Google starts rolling out the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 10, bringing these new features to the devices.
However, if you cannot wait for the OTA update to land to enjoy PhotoSphere and the updated camera UI on your Galaxy Nexus or Nexus S, don't worry the Android community has got you covered.
dmmarck of Android Central forums has managed to get his hands on the working Camera and Gallery app from Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Keep in mind that the camera and gallery app are basically the same in Android, so both the apps will be replaced at once.
You need root access to install the Android 4.2 camera app on your phone though. Download the file from here and transfer it to your phone. Then simply flash it via a custom recovery and enjoy the new camera app and updated gallery along with PhotoSphere.
Flashing the above zip file may not replace the stock Camera and Gallery app on your device, and you will end up with two camera and gallery shortcuts in your app drawer. If you still get the old Camera UI, open the new Gallery app and then press the Camera shortcut button at the top-right.
The flashable zip will work flawlessly on the Nexus devices, and might work on other Android devices running AOSP ROM.

House for Sale: Williamstown, Massachusetts
- Login to add to Favorites
- 0 Comment
Not many homes have served as both a men's club and a church. But a certain four-bedroom, 4,200-square-foot home in the popular White Oaks section of Williamstown, Massachusetts, has. Not at the same time, of course. Still, from the time it was built in 1930 until 1960, it was the White Oaks Men's Club, otherwise known as the home of the "Knights of the Doghouse," featuring variety shows, talent contests, square dancing, and heaven knows what else. Then it became, of all things, the Community Bible Church, which it remained until 2001, when the current owners, Ron and Deborah Gallagher, took it over, renovated it, and converted it to the unusual and fun home it is today.
"Just go to the Williams Inn on the town green there and call me," Ron said to us when we contacted him. And so, after driving up the Mohawk Trail through North Adams to Williamstown, in the shadow of Mount Greylock, that's what we did. Since Ron's office was close by (he works for Williams College in the Office of Career Counseling), we were in his car minutes later, commencing first a short tour of the beautiful college campus, which comprises about half the town, and then proceeding on to his home on Harrison Avenue.
During our brief time in the car, Ron, a big, gregarious man with a distinctive white beard, who seemed to know everybody everywhere, told us a little about himself: that he was one of nine children raised in Springfield, Massachusetts; that he has lived in Williamstown for 25 years and is always the town Santa Claus; that he collects and repairs antique bicycles; that his wife, Deborah, runs a successful catering business; that he sings at various gatherings with his twin brother, Don (they call themselves RonnieDonnie); that he deals in rare books and prints; that he has served on more than 20 nonprofit boards; and, well, no doubt there are some things we've forgotten.
Ron and Deborah have three children: two grown and on their own, while their youngest, a 20-year-old son named Kelly, lives with them. We could sense from the way Ron talked about him that Kelly is a special young man and the family's pride and joy. "You'll just have to meet him," Ron said as we finally pulled into his driveway. "Wait till you see his paintings, too," he added.
Our first impression of the house was that it looked very ordinary. We were a little disappointed; there wasn't even a steeple. And most churches don't have an expansive wraparound deck the way this house has. (Incidentally, that deck overlooks a lovely public park.) But then we walked inside with Ron and beheld the main living area, with its 14-foot ceilings, huge windows, antique lighting, several ceiling fans–and, yes, we could picture a variety show or a church service in here. It's a fabulous room. The kitchen and sitting/dining space are on the left side. On the right are two comfortable sitting areas, one for watching television, the other simply for reading and working.
Within a few minutes Deborah came up from downstairs to greet us. She'd been cooking in her licensed stainless-steel catering kitchen down there, where she prepares gourmet food for people and organizations around the area.
Also downstairs, as we discovered a bit later, are two bedrooms, another much smaller living room, two bathrooms (in addition to the two upstairs), and, last but not least, "Gallagher's Tavern," a party room featuring an authentic wooden bar brought all the way over from Ireland.
The master bedroom, with a lovely porch overlooking the park, and master bath are good-sized rooms behind what was once the stage and, later, the church's altar area. Off the front entranceway are another bedroom and bath, belonging to Kelly.
Speaking of Kelly, we hadn't been in the house for more than a few minutes when a teenage girl walked in through the front door pushing a wheelchair. In it was Kelly; he was coming home from school. A victim of cerebral palsy, Kelly has been unable to walk since birth, and his speech is rather limited as well. But there was something about his smile, the gentle way he offered his hand to greet us, the sparkle in his eyes, and, well, we somehow understood right away that Kelly is no burden to the Gallagher family. As Ron had already indicated to us, he's a joy to be around.

Lake Country Fire Department, RCMP investigating early morning blaze
Lake Country fire officials and RCMP are investigating what they are terming a suspicious fire overnight in Lake Country.
Fire-fighters were called to a fire on Lang Court, just off Davidson road just after 12:30 a.m. Friday to find a motorhome fully engulfed and a house where the motorhome was parked on fire as well.
A second fire spread to a hedge in front of a nearby home, also on Lang Court.
Deputy fire chief Brent Penner said the investigation into the cause of the fire is continuing.
"There are some suspicious things about it and we are working with the RCMP at this point," said Penner. "There was a second fire down the road and we haven't confirmed if the second fire started by particles blowing through the subdivison or was a separate fire."
The fire began in the early morning hours of Friday. Neighbours noticed the fire and called 911, then ensured that everyone got out of the home and surrounding homes.
Lake Country fire crews had the blaze extinguished by 4 a.m. but damage to the motorhome and the house was significant and is estimated at close to a million dollars.
When they arrived on scene, Lake Country fire teams did a primary search to ensure everyone was out and 18 firefighters got involved in attacking the fire within the attic space using the resources of three engine companies and one water tender in addition to command vehicles.
A nearby BC Hydro distribution pole had live wires arcing at the south corner of the structure fire property and once BC Hydro crews cut the electrical supply the area was quickly extinguished.
Neighbours also helped with knocking down a hedge fire at a nearby property, allowing the fire crews to concentrate on the main structure fire.
The Lake Country Fire Department is aiding the RCMP with site samples for testing to determine factors involved in igniting the fire. A conclusive determination may take some time

RFly.Me Mobile (Free) by RazorianFly Limited is the debut application of RazorianFly Limited.
URL shortening is all the rage nowadays in social media, so why not do it with some flair?
The RFly.Me URL shortening service is still fairly new, but is closing in on 1 million clicks soon. To celebrate, the folks over at RazorianFly.com have finally brought it to the iPhone and iPod Touch.
When you open the app, you'l get a fairly basic screen with some awesome background images cycling through in the back.
Simply type in or paste the link that you want to shorten in the first field with the blue arrow. Hit the green Shorten button to get a rfly.me link and then you can share it!
There are three ways to share a link from the app. Twitter, email, or in-app SMS. With Twitter, you'll have to log in to your account (information will be saved every time you tweet). You'll have your link and a stylish bullet point that separates your link and text, something that is missing in other shorteners. Hit the blue button with the check mark to send it, or the red button with the X if you change your mind.
Email will simply send out a message with default subject heading "Check out this link…" and the link already pasted into the body of the message. Add your recipient(s), edit the subject and add some body text if you choose, and send it! Sharing by SMS will utilize in-app SMS, and will include the default message "check out this link!" wit the bullet point separating the link from text. Pick recipients, edit message, and send. All done!
The app also contains iAds, if you're into that sort of thing.
Whether you've already been a user of the RFly.Me URL shortening service or are in search of a new shortener service, you can't really go wrong with this app.
The graphics are all optimized for the iPhone 4′s Retina display already, and the backgrounds are all made from designer Arron Hirst, who has some of the most creative backgrounds I've seen (and use on my iPhone). The app is super easy to use and is stable.
If it's missing anything, I would say it is missing Facebook integration. There's Twitter, so why not Facebook? Maybe it can appear in a future update from the developers. But it's not a big deal since you can just copy the link and paste it in the Facebook app. It would be nice though.
End your search for a URL shortener for your iPhone with RFly.Me Mobile. At the attractive price of free, why not?

WASHINGTON -- Democrats took control of Congress this year with a pledge to be more fiscally responsible than their Republican counterparts. Trying to fulfill that promise, however, has caused strains among lawmakers, forced cutbacks in big policy goals and snagged major legislation.
The root of the problem is what is known as pay as you go, or paygo, a budget rule revived by the new majority that says Congress must offset new costs with tax increases or spending cuts. The rule's purpose is to prevent new entitlement spending and tax cuts from increasing the budget deficit.
Thus far, it has complicated efforts to pass tax breaks for renewable energy, slowed progress on a farm bill and become a sticking point with the Bush administration over an effort to expand children's health insurance. It's a big reason Congress has made slow progress on some of its top priorities.
The rule is going to cause even bigger fights as Democrats scramble to finish important bills. One bill would prevent millions of additional people from being required to pay the alternative-minimum tax, or AMT, this year, and it would extend dozens of expiring tax provisions; another would increase Medicare payments to physicians. Under the pay-as-you-go rule, Congress will have to find more than $70 billion to pay for those items alone.
There are many reasons behind Congress's troubles, including vetoes from President Bush, a razor-thin margin of majority in the Senate and the bitter politics of the Iraq war, but paygo underpins many of the struggles. It requires lawmakers to vote for tax increases or spending cuts that hit powerful industries and campaign contributors, and it introduces a tangle of considerations to already-complex bills.
"We are hemmed in by reality, and that reality is paygo," said Rep. Richard Neal, a Massachusetts Democrat whose attempt to engineer a permanent repeal of the AMT was derailed in part by the rule.
Now Democrats are faced with an unpalatable choice: Either abandon paygo and undercut their message of fiscal responsibility, or endeavor to push difficult legislation through both chambers when the risk of failure is high. Congress's approval ratings are already low, and Republicans, who reject the current paygo concept, are likely to argue to voters that the institution has lost its way.
Republicans say the rule does nothing to tackle long-term budget problems, such as financing Medicare and Social Security, and that it encourages tax increases. "It's clear we have lost that mantle of fiscal responsibility," said Rep. John Campbell, a California Republican, "but I don't think the Democrats have successfully picked it up."
A version of the pay-as-you-go rule was passed in 1990 in a bipartisan effort to shrink the budget deficit. By the late 1990s, lawmakers began waiving it as the budget ran surpluses. In 2002, Congress allowed it to expire. Democrats revived it this year after what they describe as out-of-control spending by their Republican predecessors. To waive the rule in the Senate requires 60 votes; in the House, it requires a decision by the Democratic leadership and a majority vote in the full chamber.
The rule's loudest cheerleaders are in the House, where many Democrats, particularly those from heavily Republican districts, have promised a new era of fiscal discipline. They have passed dozens of bills this year that comply with the rule, including a $20 billion package of college-student aid funded with cuts in subsidies to student lenders; the bill ultimately became law.
"It's not easy, and you don't make friends doing it," said Rep. John Tanner, a Tennessee member of the Blue Dog coalition, conservative Democrats who have long pressed for the rule. But, he said, "The laws of arithmetic don't apply to everyone but the U.S. government."
Some of the biggest proponents in the House, including Rep. Tim Mahoney (D., Fla.) and Rep. Allen Boyd (D., Fla.), are raising concerns about how the House plans to pay for the AMT bill.
In the Senate, where Democrats have a narrower margin of control, the budget rule often is an impediment. This summer, Montana Sen. Max Baucus brought a $32 billion package to the Senate floor providing tax breaks for renewable energy. He planned to pay for the changes with reductions in tax breaks for big oil companies. Amid heavy industry lobbying, the measure failed to get the 60 votes necessary to move forward. The future of the energy tax breaks is uncertain, even though it was one of Democrats' main agenda items.
To comply with the rules while expanding the Children's Health Insurance Program, Democrats pared the amount of new spending in order to get Republican support. The bill is about to draw its second veto from President Bush. While many of his objections center on ideological differences with Democrats, the president also opposes the way Congress chose to fund the added spending: an increase in the federal tobacco tax, worth $35 billion over five years.
The AMT is likely to be the biggest test of Democrats' commitment to pay as you go. This year, Mr. Neal, the Massachusetts Democrat, floated a plan with small groups of House Democrats to increase taxes paid by upper-income people in order to fund permanent relief for middle- and upper-middle-income people. Mr. Neal held hearings on AMT and pushed for House action. However, some Democrats were nervous about the prospect of voting for a tax increase and thus providing fodder for negative campaign ads, especially if the plan wasn't going to become law. Already, the Senate has signaled it won't take up the plan.
Now, Rep. Charles Rangel of New York, chairman of the House tax committee, is trying to advance a bill that would fix the AMT for one year before it envelops 24 million new taxpayers. Many Republicans and some Democrats object to how he plans to pay for this plan: raising taxes on a portion of private-equity managers' compensation called "carried interest," a provision that faces almost no chance of Senate passage. The concept drew a veto threat from the White House yesterday.
The pay-as-you-go rule frustrates Mr. Rangel, who often must find the necessary funding for legislation. "I am at odds with paygo," he said.
The possibility of waiving the rule has sparked angry outbursts. When Republican and Democratic senators met recently to discuss the AMT, Sen. Baucus raised the possibility of lifting the rules for a short-term fix. Sen. John Kerry (D., Mass.), was leery of paying for something short of full repeal. Several Republicans suggested repealing the AMT permanently and extending the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, without finding offsetting revenue.
Sen. Kent Conrad, (D., N.D.), a staunch supporter of the rule, stormed out of the meeting after hearing what the Republicans said. He told a reporter from Capitol Hill publication CongressDaily that what was being discussed was "unbelievably irresponsible."
"We've got to start paying our bills around here," Mr. Conrad said in a later interview. "We can't just keep borrowing money from China and Japan."
In an interview, Mr. Baucus suggested he still supports the idea. "If we didn't have it, we'd certainly be criticized: 'There they go again, there those Democrats go, tax and spend, tax and spend, tax and spend,'" he said. "We're trying to be responsible."

I agree with boilermakers14 and a few others here: The solution is to relegate "marriage" to a spiritual/religious union, with no legal or financial efficacy whatsoever. Leave it to churches whom to "marry", and then have some form of formal contract -- like a business contract -- for everyone who wants to involve themselves in legal and financial obligations. This not only sidesteps the dilemma of religious folks who don't feel that anyone other than "one man-one women" should marry", but it spells out all the terms of a legal/financial contract in a way that "marriage" has not. Too many people don't understand the real costs of marriage until they divorce, which can be a painful lesson. And, I think such legal contracts should not only include any two people, but any collection of people who wish to marry each other. Seems to me that the more adults involved in the union, the more protection against the death or departure of any one adult to negatively impact the family and children. Seems like a good time to really fix this thing. Let's do it!
I think it is premature to talk of cutting McCoy loose. Weeden hasn't played a snap in the NFL yet. No one knows if he can play at that level. Seneca Wallace is an able back-up, but that is all. I think Browns' management should open the QB competition and let the best man win, with the running game that Trent Richardson will provide. I think McCoy should stay in the mix unless and until he plays himself out.
I don't contribute to any of these organizations. To much money is already being spent on services for women. Prostate cancer kills almost as many American men as breast cancer kills American women, yet the funding for prostate cancer research and treatment is a small fraction of that for breast cancer. This is anti-male sexist bias and choose not to support it.

Update: 1:15 p.m.Police and volunteers are conducting field searches in Derry Township, just west of Lingle Avenue. The group just walked across one field and searched through a wooded area. Another group is searching alleyways in Derry Township just past the National Guard Armory, 1720 E. Caracas Ave.
A search party is planned for Wednesday afternoon to look for missing Palmyra woman Kortne Stouffer.
The search party will form at noon at Palmyra Citizens Fire Co. on North College Street, said family spokesman Matt Scott.
Palmyra and Derry Township police departments and about 50 volunteers will be searching in areas in Palmyra and Derry Township, Scott said. The family is limiting the search party to the 50 volunteers that have already been enlisted and is not seeking more from the public.
Stouffer, 21, was last seen at her apartment at 810 W. Main St. about 3:45 a.m. July 29. Lebanon County District Attorney Dave Arnold characterized her disappearance as "suspicious."
Scott said it is out of character for Stouffer not to be in contact with her family. He said she is very close to her family and rarely goes a day without talking to her mother.
Stouffer's cellphone, purse and car were left at her apartment. Police impounded her car last week after her disappearance.
On Tuesday, area attorney Karl E. Rominger announced that he has been enlisted to assist Stouffer's family.

She was last seen wearing a yellow tank top and black shorts with a pattern of red, green and yellow splotches. She also had bracelets on her arm. It was not known if she was wearing shoes or was barefoot.
Anyone who has information on Stouffer is encouraged to call 717-838-8189 or 717-744-TIPS or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Peju Province Sauvignon Blanc 2008
Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
Pale straw yellow in appearance. Aromas of tropical fruit mixed with fresh citrus, lychee and passion fruit. Crisp, fresh and lively on the palate, with vibrant grapefruit notes, lemon and hints of tropical fruits, guava and fresh pineapple. Long lingering finish.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "This is Peju's best Sauvignon Blanc in many years. It's bone dry and elegantly crisp in acidity, a clean, vibrant, food-freindly wine. With just a kint of oak, it shows rich flavors of Meyer lemons and lime, with exotic notes of papaya and white flowers. What a great comeback."
Peju Province Winery
The love of farming and a passion for wine brought Tony Peju to the Napa Valley. A series of ideas - starting in his birthplace on the Caspian Sea, then France, England and eventually, Los Angeles -- created the Peju's Napa Valley winery. In 1982, Tony and his wife Herta purchased 30 acres of land in the Napa Valley with the magic ingredient - location. Neighboring vineyards in Rutherford included Robert Mondavi, Inglenook and Beaulieu. Situated between Highway 29 and the Napa River, the acreage included a 1900-era house and rambling vineyards, some 60 or more years old. Looking to the future, Tony and Herta have introduced their two daughters, Lisa and Ariana, to the workings of the wine business. Both of the young women are immersing themselves in all aspects of Peju Winery. View all Peju Province Wines
About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just grated an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

DEAR HELOISE: It's imperative that I add to a previous column my experience about adults being aware of kids walking behind them on trails.
Years ago, my family ventured on a well-traveled, seemingly safe trail in Big Bear, Calif. My three daughters were ages 9, 7 and 3. My instincts prompted me to hold the hand of my 3-year old, despite her attempts to break lose. The other two were instructed to walk a few steps in front.
After 15 minutes, I decided to pick up and carry my youngest the rest of the way, as she continued trying to free herself from my grasp. Within 20 minutes, we returned to the car. As we pulled out, we passed the trail where we had just exited. Imagine our shock as the car passed a mountain lion sitting at the end of the trail with its eyes still on us. It obviously had stalked us, waiting for the opportunity to steal my little one and drag her away.
- Linda B. in California
DEAR READER: Your instincts were right. Never let children lag behind you.
DEAR HELOISE: My hint is to always carry my own pen, especially during the cold-and-flu season. I certainly don't want to use the pen provided at the pharmacy. The same thing goes for wherever a signature is required, whether it be a store, bank or even signing your child out of school.
- Karen R., Freehold, N.J.
DEAR READER: Don't forget the hand sanitizer.
DEAR HELOISE: Let's face it, there are only so many ways you can cook shrimp, but here's a new recipe:
Heat a can (about 14 ounces) of New England clam chowder. Blanch a 1-pound package of peeled shrimp in boiling water for about a minute. Drain thoroughly. Add the shrimp to the clam chowder. The result is tasty shrimp covered with a lovely seafood sauce.
- Ronald N., Alexandria, Va.
DEAR HELOISE: I play soccer at the collegiate level and have two practices a day. My teammates and I have found that women's deodorant doesn't last through practice. However, men's deodorant does. Although it's a little unconventional, I can't recommend it highly enough to female athletes.
- Ellie R. in San Antonio

I'm curious as to two things: 1. Who is making a cheat device for the PS3? and 2. Is there just a cheat device for the emulator version of the PS3 or is there an actual existing cheat device for the PS3 outside the world of virtual reality aka the internet? I'm hoping there is a cheat device for both emulator version and an actual PS3 console.
Hey skiller
