This policy describes the privacy practices of The Boston Globe (a subsidiary of Boston Globe Media Partners, LLC) (the "Boston Globe," "our," or "we"). It explains how we collect, use, and store information we collect about our readers. This policy covers our privacy practices in connection with The Boston Globe newspaper and the Boston Globe's digital properties (including Boston.com, BostonGlobe.com, betaboston.com, bdcwire.com, loveletters.boston.com, realestate.boston.com and cruxnow.com), and mobile applications (including Boston Globe ePaper and Boston.com News).
In this privacy policy, you will find the answers to the following questions:
1. What information do we gather about you?
2. How do we gather information?
3. What do we do with the information we gather?
4. With whom do we share the information we gather?
5. How do you change, update, or delete your personal information?
6. What else should you know about the Boston Globe's privacy practices?
7. How can you find out about changes to this privacy policy?
8. Who should you contact if you have questions?
The information we gather falls into two categories:
Personal information is information that identifies you. We collect this information only when you choose to provide it to us. For example, we collect personal information when you subscribe to The Boston Globe or email newsletters, place an order, complete a survey, register for one of our websites, or sign in to a website or mobile application through a third party tool such as Facebook Connect.

It is over to you – does Cumbria want an underground nuclear dump?
Last updated at 12:58, Friday, 13 January 2012
Cumbrians have a huge decision to make this year. Its implications could be with us for the next 200,000 years. We are going to have to decide whether to allow Britain's high-level radioactive waste to be buried deep underground at a site somewhere in our county.
The waste will include dangerous substances such as plutonium, which has a half-life of 25,000 years. That means that after 25,000 years it will be half as dangerous as it is now – and only after 200,000 years could it be considered safe.
The Government believes burying substances like these deep underground is the safest way to dispose of them.
But opponents argue that there's nothing safe about waste that remains lethal for centuries – with one protesting: "Nuclear power is the most dangerous way to boil a kettle that man has ever created."
At the moment this high-level waste is stored above the ground. But as long as it lies there, the Government argues, it could be susceptible to terrorist attack. Underground storage – known as "geological storage" – is also the way most other countries with radioactive waste dispose of theirs.
The objectors counter that storing the waste above the ground where it can be monitored has to be better than putting it underground, out of sight and out of mind.
When the Government first started looking for an underground waste dump, it insisted that it would not force it on anyone.
Instead it asked to hear from "volunteer communities" that might be interested in hosting it and wanted to find out more, without committing to anything.
The only volunteers it received were from Cumbria. Cumbria County Council, Allerdale Borough Council and Copeland Borough Council all said they were prepared to looked into it – but weren't promising anything.
And certain areas of the Cumbrian coast, near former coal and iron mines, have definitely been ruled out in any case.
The three interested councils have set up the Managing Radioactive Waste Safely Partnership. It bringing in other bodies – the other councils, the Lake District National Park Authority, Cumbria Tourism, trade unions and churches – to find out what it might mean for the area, and what locals think about it.
The partnership is chaired by Tim Knowles, the county council's cabinet member for environment and transport. He says it's an important point to bear in mind that hosting the nuclear waste will be entirely voluntary. If Cumbrians decide they don't want it then they won't have to have it.
"This is the first time the Government has left it up to local communities," Mr Knowles explains. "We can't be told that this is going to happen whether we want it or not. It depends on whether the general public are supportive."
But he does add that something has got to be done with the waste, if not here then elsewhere.
"The current, above-ground storage is just not acceptable in the long run. There has to be a long-term solution and the Government believes that is geological storage.
"Keeping it safe and secure for many centuries is an absolute requirement. To keep packaging and repackaging it and moving it from one site to another is just not sensible.
"It's expensive and it leaves the burden to future generations. It's up to this generation to sort it out."
Besides, 70 per cent of Britain's high-level radioactive waste is already in this county and Mr Knowles says: "Whatever happens to it, whether it is stored here or goes somewhere else, it will involve people in Cumbria in one way or another."
The most obvious benefit to keeping it here would be economic. The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, which is in charge of delivering the facility, estimates it will bring 980 jobs in planning and construction over 25 years.
The first 440 jobs will come over the first 10 years, in investigating different areas of the county and identifying which could be suitable for the site.
Then over the next 15 years, 840 people would be needed to build it. It could be anywhere between 200 and 1,000 metres underground and between one and four times the size of Sellafield site. The rock excavated would be close to the amount removed for the Channel Tunnel.
Many of the jobs would be highly skilled ones, and Mr Knowles says: "West Cumbria is a world centre for the nuclear industry. It looks like there's going to another power station built adjacent to Sellafield, so it's an important part of our economy."
He also points out that nuclear energy is beginning to lose its image problem, as more of us become aware of the threat posed by climate change. Nuclear power stations may create radioactive waste – but at least they don't pump carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
"There's been a marked change in public opinion," he notes. "I'm not saying people are in love with it, or that it's particularly popular. But with issues like global warming, there's a greater acceptance of nuclear energy – it's regarded as 'a good thing'. We're in a different era now.
"And it's not a done deal. It will be a genuine consultation, unlike some we've heard of."
So public meetings are being held in 12 different venues across the county, starting on Wednesday and running until Friday, February 10, where anyone can air their views. An opinion poll of 1,000 residents in Allerdale and Copeland – the districts most likely to house the site – will also be conducted.
The pollsters are certain to hear strong objections. There are those who are opposed to nuclear energy in any form. To Marianne Birkby, founder of Radiation Free Lakeland, it hasn't lost its image problem.
"Nuclear power is a cancer factory," she says. "It's the most dangerous way to boil a kettle that man has ever created."
Nor is she convinced by the economic consideration. "The jobs argument seems very alluring and persuasive. But nuclear power has deterred some tourists from coming here and has destroyed some jobs in agriculture.
"That's why the cheese factory pulled out of Lillyhall – because nuclear waste was going to be treated nearby. It's the supermarket effect. It has a detrimental effect on other jobs."
And she points out that the sheer size and scale of a potential dump could be more than Cumbria could cope with.
"This is a hole in the ground that will rival the biggest mine in the world, a copper mine in the Congo. If it was a mine everyone would be opposed to it.
"A big hole would be bad enough – but they want to fill it with nuclear waste."
Another group mobilising opposition is Cumbrians Opposed to a Radioactive Environment (CORE). Campaign co-ordinator Martin Forwood disputes the safety of underground storage.
"Our view has always been that the waste should be kept above the ground in custom-built stores where it can be monitored, managed, moved, repackaged as necessary and so on.
"Once it's down there, there will be no way you can get to it to check it. It could become a major problem for future generations. If it's that safe, then why not put a nuclear power station underground?"
The above-ground stores, CORE believes, should be built at the sites where the waste originated – at the nuclear power stations themselves.
"Then there would be no need to transport nuclear waste anywhere," he points out.
That inevitably means there would be a big store near Sellafield, where 70 per cent of Britain's high-level radioactive waste is created – and Mr Forwood accepts this.
"We're not NIMBYs. We just don't believe it should be underground. Keep it here, and let's have no more waste coming in and no waste going out."
He also argues that no new nuclear reactors should be built until the waste problem is resolved, and in the meantime we should focus our attentions on finding renewable energy sources.
"I know people moan like mad about windfarms. Some could have been located more sympathetically, but offshore windfarms are an option.
"So is solar power – and we haven't even begun to investigate tidal energy. There also needs to be more energy efficiency and conservation."
And with the Government promising that underground waste disposal is not going to be forced on anyone, he points out: "You've got to have a community that volunteers to have it and a community that has the right geology, and I don't believe they will get both those requirements.
"In the next five to 10 years they will find that the whole thing is not going to work. I expect it will rumble on for a few more years and eventually come to a dead end.
"In that time they could be getting on with building proper stores above ground, on the site of origin of the waste, and the whole issue would be done and dusted."

Have your say
Yes West Cumbria is the appropiate place to store nuclear waste, I certainly do not want to see it stored anywhere near London or the South East.
No !!!!!!!!! It wasn't feasible 10years ago and isn't now. Do the right thing Knowles and say no.

Logan County was included in a tour Friday by Governor Earl Ray Tomblin, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin and U.S. Congressman Nick Rahall of damages caused by Superstorm Sandy. The trio, along with other emergency officials, met with LEASA Director Roger Bryant.
"Logan County was one of the least impacted counties by Superstorm Sandy," said Bryant.
Electrical outages caused by heavy wet snow and trees falling were the major problem residents faced.
"At the height, I think we had close to 7,000 people without power," said Bryant. "Even during that time, we were able to keep our water systems up and going and provide basic services to people. We did have some road closures, but all roads are open now."
Bryant said three shelters were opened and two were on standby if they were needed.
"Those shelters were closed Thursday because the power was back on so those folks could go back home," said Bryant.
Bryant reported that Logan County only received about six inches of snow and "most of that was on the mountain tops."
Tomblin, Rahall and Manchin also toured Mingo, Wyoming, and Boone counties Friday assessing damages.

Linguistik-Klassifikation: Dialektologie/Sprachgeografie / Dialectology/Linguistic geography
- Introduction: person and evidence in Himalayan languages (2000)
- The present volume results from an initiative to foster cooperation between scholars of Himalayan languages in Europe. The initiative was launched five years ago and has brought about a series of annual workshop meetings and individual cooperative projects (cf. http://www.isw.unibe.ch/EuroHimal). The 1998 workshop, held in Heidelberg, was devoted to the role that notions of speech act participants play in the grammar of various Himalayan languages, and the present collection represents, with some additions and some subtractions, the proceedings of this workshop. In the following I will give some background on the rationale for the topics covered in this volume, especially on the ways in which the indexing of speech act participants is related in Himalayan languages to evidentials and other epistemological operators. I will close this introduction with a brief outline of the structure of the volume.

"Great Product"
My parents Bay gelding cut his front shoulders on bob wire and made a huge, deep gash. They put this product on it for about 2 months and he is almost healed up and ready to go back out to pasture with the other horses again. This stuff works wonders and I recommend Vetericyn to anyone and everyone I can. I am a true believer!!! Would give it more stars if possible!
"Love This Product"
I pessimistically ordered my first bottle of Veterycin this spring out of desperation in fighting fungus on my white nosed horses?ÇÖ noses. Other products either didn?ÇÖt work, were too messy or too hard to apply. I got the Hyrogel and it was like magic! I was able to treat my horses quickly and easily with no mess and it worked great! About one spaying a week on their noses controlled the scabby fungus, beautifully. Now my white nosed horses have soft velvety noses. My only complaint is the price. 
This is an excellent product. Do not hesitate to buy. Great on all wounds and on any animal.
"Excellent Product"
Vetericyn for Wounds and Infection is the best product I have ever used. I use it on my horses when they get cut or scratched - or for rain rot; I use it on my dogs for hotspots; I use it on my cats when they have wounds! It works right away to ease the pain and begins to heal within one day! I was hesitant to pay the price for it, but after using it, I won't be without it!
"Awesome stuff"
I love this stuff, I use it on my dogs, for their hotspots, and minor wounds and you can see the healing the next day and it soothes their discomfort with no burning..pricey yes but worth every dime...
"great for wounds and ringworm"
I like this gel much better than the plain liquid spray because it adheres better, and doesn't roll off fur or skin like the plain spray. That gives you a moment after applying a spritz to then rub it around, like on a ringworm area. It has worked great on sutured wounds and on ringworm when used in combination with oral meds and malaseb shampoo. I need ringworm dead fast! I have even used a spritz in a cat's outer ear since it isn't shaken out as easily as the ear rinse..
"worth every penny"
To me, this product is worth every penny. I have used it on my horses for small and large cuts. The small cuts healed overnight, the large one within a week without problems. I used it on scratches and it got rid off them in a flash when previously it took me a month with other products. I used it on my dogs ringworm, and it even healed a nasty ulcer on my old, diabetic dog's recurrent and inoperable growth. This product has saved me lots of money and time in wound management, and I really think it lengthened my old dogs life if even only by a few months.
"Amazing Product"
I should be a paid spokesperson for this product. I started out with the spray, but decided the consistancy of the gel is not as wasteful. This product works! I would not be without it. On my 8th bottle.
Great product I used it on my horse for fungus on his back legs it cleared it up in 2 days of using this product!!!!!!
You're crazy if you don't have a bottle of this on hand in your barn and horse trailer at all times. Awesome for hock sores, cuts, abrasions, skin irritations caused by hives, bug bites, rope burns, etc. Does not attract dirt, applies and washes off easily, and flies seem to hate it. I was a skeptic; now I keep several bottles on hand!! Give it a chance before you rule this product out or you'll be missing out!
Another manufacturer defrauding equine owners. My first clue should have been that it needs to be administered more than twice a day. The second was the outrageous price, $40 for 16 ozs. Water can do about everything vetericyn can do---it did nothing for abrasions, cuts, fungus, or skin eruptions except keep them moist! Never by again and don't recommend. Tea Pro and T-zon are the best products going!
great product great for puncture wounds as well and i am treating a horse now for torn flesh from barb wire. But your selling this product too expensively. i can get it for much less

Think Kegel exercises are just for women? Think again.
Kegel exercises for men can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder and bowel and affect sexual function. With practice, Kegel exercises for men can be done discreetly just about anytime — whether you're relaxing on the couch or driving your car.
Before you start doing Kegel exercises, find out how to locate the correct muscles and understand the proper technique.
Many factors can weaken your pelvic floor muscles, including the surgical removal of the prostate (radical prostatectomy) and conditions such as diabetes and overactive bladder.
You might benefit from doing Kegel exercises if you:
Some studies suggest that Kegel exercises for men might also benefit some men who have erectile dysfunction. However, further research is needed.

Dear Editor,
I would like to see an op-ed page in the paper. I have always found opinions, editorials and letter to the editor of great interest. I bet I'm not the only one.
This is a very good way to measure what is important to a community. This should be of great interest to the policy makers, people in political office and business people.
Your consideration is appreciated.
Butch of Antlers

Dear Butch,
I couldn't agree more. We have been running a notice in the paper for the last month or so urging our readers to send Letters to the Editor for publication. As of yet, this is the first we have received. We will continue to encourage our customers, readers, and community members to send these letters to the office, drop them off or email them to us.
Letters to the Editor are a great way for the community to show and express what they like, or dislike, concerns and praises for things that are happening in the community.
I do understand the community's hesitation. In the past many letters have been received and not published. This is no longer the case. With our new direction we ask our readers to have faith in the fact that we are striving to make this publication something they can be proud of, and also be a part of.
Thank you,
Tracy Steffenson

Certified organic, shade grown, and Fair Trade. The Penachi region of Peru is very desolate and remote, and there is very little commercial activity beyond coffee and sustenance harvesting of tropical fruit and herbs. The coffee is grown at an elevation between 1100 and 1500 meters above sea level in the mountains that separate Peru from Equador. When you try this coffee, you will be taken by suprise and immediately recognize the hard work that has gone into this fine coffee. It is bright and lively, with good acidity, medium body and with a pleasurable sweet finish. A nice full bodied cup with subtle floral tones in the aroma. Recommended roast: medium to Full City or French.

DeKalb, IL (Sports Network) - Jordan Lynch was spectacular, passing for 191 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 157 yards and a touchdown, as he led the Northern Illinois Huskies to a 63-0 Mid-American Conference demolition of the Massachusetts Minutemen at Huskies Stadium
The Huskies (9-1, 6-0 MAC) won their 20th consecutive home game, and did so convincingly. Lynch was 15-of-19 in the air and did all his rushing on 15 attempts. Lynch was subbed out midway through the third quarter and Matt McIntosh took his place. McIntosh was 4-of-6 for 43 yards and one touchdown.
While Lynch led the Huskies in rushing, Akeem Daniels had a rushing score while both McIntosh and Keith Harris Jr. each had a pair of rushing scores.
Daniels, Martel Moore, and Angelo Sebastiano each had a receiving touchdown. Tommylee Lewis caught six balls for 86 yards and Juwan Bresacin caught four balls for 82 yards but neither scored.
The Minutemen (0-9, 0-5 Mid-American Conference) are still in search for their first win of the season. They turned the ball over three times and were unable to score a single point against the Huskies.
Mike Wegzyn was 16-of-28 for 137 yards and no touchdowns while Michael Cox rushed for 81 yards on 25 attempts without a score. Rob Blanchflower had four receptions for 55 yards.
Northern Illinois got things going early leading 14-0 at the end of the first quarter after Lynch hit Moore for a nine-yard touchdown pass and Harris ran in a score from one yard out.
The Huskie offense kept it going in the second quarter as Lynch threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Daniels as well as taking in a 57-yard run for a touchdown. The Northern Illinois lead kept growing with Harris scoring his second touchdown of the day on a two-yard run to finish off an eight-play, 80-yard drive. Northern Illinois led 35-0 at the half.
The Huskies continued their destruction of Massachusetts in the second half starting off with an 11-play, 75-yard drive that ended in a 17-yard touchdown run by Daniels.
With the Huskies leading by so much, Lynch was taken out and McIntosh came in to relieve him. McIntosh ran for a one-yard touchdown, threw a six-yard touchdown pass to Sebastiano, and then ran for a seven-yard touchdown as Northern Illinois won 63-0.
Northern Illinois racked up 610 yards of total offense to just 267 by the UMass.

To The Editor:
So now some of the top Democrats are in Iraq which they say is a "fact finding mission." In addition to others from the left, Nancy Pelosi and John Murtha are visiting Baghdad so that they can say upon their return that they found "how wonderful our troops are," etc., but are really looking for, not facts, but plausible excuses for preventing us from winning this crucial part of this global war on Western Civilization started by the radical wing of the Muslim religion.
Joe Lieberman, a Democrat until his party did him dirt in the recent primaries, recently spent 10 days in the Mideast and is reported to have found that generals and colonels were asking for more troops and that they believe in what they are fighting for and they want to finish it by winning.
This newly elected majority (liberal Democrats) have always maintained a posture of carping, complaining, interference, obstruction and meddling but never put forward a plan of their own for winning this and future phases of this huge global assault on the West's way of life.
Remember Islamic fundamentalism has been described as a "21st century political project driven by 7th century ideology." They are not fighting to be offered something, they are fighting to eliminate us (the Infidels) and take it as their reward, killing as many of us through "asymmetrical warfare" (terror, subterfuge, lies, madrassa education, etc.) as possible prior to assuming a comfortable life with 72 virgins.
In spite of this, our Democrat leaders are bent on finding ways to make our failure in this Mideast phase a certainty and to develop statements that will make it palatable. What should be occurring is for our elected officials to be reading off of the same page and assist immediately in providing as much effort, money and manpower as the military requires to gain this essential step towards winning this hugely important war.

Belk announced plans to transform its fashion department store at Mount Pleasant Towne Centre into one of the company's flagship locations. The $10.2 million project will include an expanded assortment of the most desirable premium brands, enhanced customer amenities including redesigned fitting rooms, restrooms and seating areas, the addition of a new men's store building, and expansion and remodeling of the existing space to create a one of kind shopping destination in the Charleston area.
The current store is 82,000 square feet in size and, after a two phase expansion, will grow to 140,000 square feet. The first expansion phase will be the conversion of the former Earthfare store located adjacent to the existing store into a separate Belk Men's store which will open in November 2013. The second phase involves remodeling and expanding the existing building by 30,000 square feet and building a parking deck to accommodate the additional store traffic. The second phase is scheduled to be completed by October 2014.
The new flagship will feature a number of exciting new brand and expanded brand presentations representing Belk's "Modern.Southern.Style." The shoe department will double in size, and will feature new brands such as Isaac Mizrahi and Via Spiga, with expanded assortments from Frye, Ugg, Sam Edelman and Donald Pliner. The cosmetics area will reflect an "open sell" environment with new premium brands, including Jo Malone, La Mer, Laura Mercier, Channel, MAC and Bobbi Brown. Women's apparel will also grow significantly with larger assortments from Lily, Eileen Fisher, Ralph Lauren and Michael Kors.

AA's number one key to this fight is to not get overaggressive and get caught reaching in for a punch. Sylvia's key is to keep AA at bay with crisp punches until he can get an opening to attack.
Since Sylvia didn't correct his lazy jab after losing, I highly doubt he will do it after winning. So I think it is going to work out this way. They will feel each other out for a few moments and then Sylvia will throw a lazy jab and AA will knock him down (just like in both previous fights) and then AA will try to take top position and sub him.

CONCORD, N.C. – The first wave of guaranteed starters in the August 10-12 Speedway Pavement Grand Nationals at Chapel Hill Raceway in New York are set with this past weekend's first Super Regional run at King George Speedway in Virginia.
With winners in the nationally recognized WKA classes gaining starting berths by virtue of their wins in the Super Regionals, national competitor Zach Switzer, along with many others, locked themselves into their respective fields.
Switzer took top honors in the Senior Champ class on Saturday at King George. Other winners included Trey Thompson in Junior Champ, while Austin Ousley scored the top honors over D.J. Powell Jr in Junior Stock.
Shelby Sanders was the big winner in Rookie Champ while Denver Brandts edged out Trevor Trost in Stock Medium. Dale Portner was the top dog in Stock Heavy, besting Trost, while Anthony Gardiner stole the show in the Sportsman 1 Class.
Each winner will now have a chance to earn a WKA Pavement National title if they can convert their guaranteed starting spot into a victory at Chapel Hill. However, despite the runnerup finishes by many at King George, including national competitor Trevor Trost, he, along with all others can still go to Chapel Hill, qualify in their respective classes and win the title just as easily.
For those still looking to gain a guaranteed starting spot in the Chapel Hill field, the next Super Regional will be held June 3 at Riverhead Raceway in New York. For the King George competitors still looking for that shot, Sandy Hook Speedway in Maryland will be hosting their Super Regional June 17 in Street, Maryland.
The next divisional for King George will be August 18 while Oakland Valley Raceway Park in Cuddebackville, New York will host their second divisional this weekend.

Maybe the party is finally over.
Meaning not simply the Grand Old Party, but more specifically the bacchanal of the bizarre and carnival of crazy to which it has lately devolved. So obvious has this devolution become that even Republican stalwarts have been heard to decry the parody of a party the GOP has become.
Except now we see signs suggesting maybe a corner has been turned.
There was, for example, that surprising bipartisan consensus on immigration reform, which one would have thought about as likely as a Ted Nugent concert on the White House lawn.
And Politico reports Karl Rove has started a super PAC whose mission is to keep the more .?.?. ahem, colorful candidates from winning Republican primaries.
Politico also quotes what it calls a high-profile strategist who said party leaders are now trying to "marginalize the cranks, haters and bigots" they until recently portrayed as courageous truth tellers.
There's more. Fox "News," for many years the communications arm of the GOP, just ditched two of its fieriest firebrands: Dick Morris and Sarah Palin, who, like Linus in the pumpkin patch, kept assuring true believers of the Great Pumpkin of a Mitt Romney victory.
This comes as Fox, though it still has numbers CNN would kill for, sees its ratings fall to a 12-year low among a key demographic.
A new Public Policy Polling survey finds trust in Fox at the lowest level in the short (four years) history of the survey.
Then there is Bobby Jindal. The Louisiana governor, widely considered a rising star of the GOP, has, since the election, been preaching with evangelistic zeal that Republicans must "stop being the stupid party."
Which could be a reference to Herman Cain, presumably still poring over a map looking for "U-beki-beki-beki-becki-stan-stan." Or to Michele Bachmann, perhaps still searching out terrorists in the office of the secretary of state. Or to any of a series of GOP candidates who made statements on rape so spectacularly ignorant they would stun even the men in those dusty places where wives are bought like cattle.
So yes, signs are plentiful that something is afoot among the Republicans. But what does it mean?
One might hope it signifies the party's decision to abandon its alternate universe, offer reasonable alternatives to those voters not convinced that any one party or ideology has all the answers. One might hope it means an orderly retreat from the hard edge of coded racism, gay bashing, Mexican electrocuting, anti-intellectualism and fact avoidance that have been passed off as wisdom in recent years. One might hope it means a return of grown-ups, pragmatism, reason – and reasonableness.
One might hope.
But one might be well-advised to gird that hope with wariness, given that this is the same party whose leaders, as reported on PBS' "Frontline," held a meeting in 2009 and chose obstructionism as a political strategy.
Note that, even while repeating his "stupid party" admonition at a GOP meeting in Charlotte last month, Jindal assured his audience this did not mean rethinking or even moderating the party's hard-core – and frankly, out of touch – stands on issues such as abortion and marriage equality.
No, he explained, he's talking about changing the packaging – not what's in it. Putting lipstick on the proverbial pig, in other words.
That will inevitably disappoint those longing for a new GOP. One hopes the party's soul searching eventually leads it to understand the need for evolution.
It should not – and does not need to – become simply a pale imitation of the other party.
But it also should not – and better not – settle for being simply a prettied-up version of the extremist outlier it has become.
Because you know what you call a pig with lipstick on? A pig with lipstick on.

A proposed land swap for the "Old Fields" property was delayed during a working meeting of the Ashe County Board of Commissioners because of a miscommunication between all of the parties involved – the county, the Fleetwood Volunteer Fire Department, county emergency management representatives, and the private property owner.
That miscommunication has already had an impact on the Fleetwood VFD. In 2011, the department invested $15,000 to install underground water tanks on the Old Fields property, located near 457 Clarence Lyall Road, West Jefferson, and might now be forced to remove them.
During the working meeting of the county commissioners, the discussion focused on a piece of property used by Halsey's Diesel Service & Parts as a driveway that crosses over property owned by Ashe County.
A land swap had been offered to Steve Halsey, the business owner, which would allow the county to receive property of equal size from Halsey in exchange for the property that Halsey's driveway crosses.
"Through no fault of his own, Halsey has been using the county's land for the past 28 years thinking it was his," said Dr. Pat Mitchell, Ashe County's manager.
If Halsey chooses to proceed with the land swap, the county might build a rescue squad facility adjacent to Halsey's business, said Mitchell. The rescue building could also be used as a voting precinct.
Halsey said he is concerned that if a rescue squad building is placed near his business' driveway, the large trucks he services would have a difficult time getting in and out.
During the last commission meeting, Commissioner Gerald Price said he had concerns that Halsey may have been coerced in some way to participate in the deal. "Are we sure that Halsey hasn't been met with coercion of any kind to reach this agreement?" said Price at the meeting in October.
This was confirmed during Monday's meeting when Halsey said he felt pressure to accept the deal from a rescue representative for the region. However, Halsey said, "coerced was too strong of a word."
Halsey said he was under the impression that if he didn't agree to the land swap, county officials would do what they wanted with the land they owned, which could potentially harm his business.
"I feel like I've been pushed into it (the land swap), one way or another," said Halsey.
At that point, Board Chairman Judy Porter Poe quickly interjected by saying "Steve, if you're against it (the land swap) in any way, the deal is off, and that's fine with me."
After the meeting, Mitchell said "I think what happened was (the rescue representative) might have suggested to Halsey that a straighter property line would accommodate a rescue building better," she said.
According to Mitchell, Halsey may have left the discussion with the impression that the rescue representative was encouraging him to follow through with the property swap.
However, the problems with the Old Fields property extend far beyond Mr. Halsey and his business.
During the last commissioners' meeting, members from the Fleetwood VFD voiced concerns that the land swap would void the fire department's lease on the county's land at the Old Fields property. On Monday, more details were revealed about the situation.
In July 2011, the Fleetwood VFD leased some of the land currently owned by the county for a 99 year period with plans to install water tanks that would be filled by a nearby stream. According to Mitchell, the county told the Fleetwood VFD they should wait before they installed the tanks because the area was in the process of being surveyed.
Three months after signing the lease, the Fleetwood VFD installed the underground water tanks on the property, unknown to the county, said Mitchell. Afterward, new surveys revealed the tanks had been installed on land belonging to the N.C. Department of Transportation; not Ashe County.
Steve Craven, chief of the Fleetwood VFD, said the county wasn't completely forthcoming with much-needed information.
According to Craven, Patty Gambill, the county's emergency management coordinator, told the Fleetwood VFD they shouldn't install the water tanks due to "discrepancies with an adjoining property owner," said Craven.
Craven said the Fleetwood VFD interpreted that statement to mean the fire department needed to get permission to install the tanks from Halsey, who, they believed, was the only adjoining property owner.
Once Halsey agreed, the Fleetwood VFD installed the underground tanks, at an investment of about $15,000, according to Craven.
However, the adjoining property owner Gambill referred to was actually the NC DOT, said Craven after the meeting.
Craven said the Fleetwood VFD wasn't aware the DOT owned a portion of the Old Fields property because it didn't appear on their original lease issued by the county. "We assumed the lease was correct," said Craven.
"If we had the entire story from the beginning, we would have done things differently," said Craven.
Because the DOT plans to widen U.S. 221, the tanks may need to be removed in order to complete the project.
The Fleetwood VFD asserted the county shouldn't be involved; that the Fleetwood VFD should deal with the DOT themselves because they have a monetary investment in the land (the water tanks) and the county doesn't.
When the property swap was first mentioned, their were discussions among county officials to place a rescue squad building on the county's newly-acquired land, an asset the county may need with the widening of U.S. 221, said Mitchell.
Poe asked the Fleetwood VFD to forgo installation of any new equipment on the property until everyone has a better idea of where the property lines are.
Several options were offered to resolve the issues at the Old Fields property during the meeting.
One option offered by Commissioner Larry Rhodes was to let Halsey buy the land from the county, if Halsey is willing. This would require the fire department's lease to be renegotiated. Also, Commissioner Gary Roark said the county could donate the land to the Fleetwood VFD.
The county may not be allowed, legally, to use either solution offered by Rhodes and Roark, said Mitchell. Those questions will be investigated by the county's attorney before the board of commissioner's next meeting in two weeks, she said.
"Counties are very limited in what they give away and what they can sell to other entities, so resolving this problem will take some more research moving forward," said Mitchell.
It's most likely, said Mitchell, the county will leave the lease intact and have a second survey of the of the Old Fields property.

We purchased 4 planter boxes; unfortunately the metal was not wrapped for protection during shipping, resulting in some of the corner ends being bent, and having to deal with getting them square enough for the end cap to fit. Also, one of the bracing blocks (not sure if that's the correct term - the smallest piece for the bed floor) was too wide, so the only way for it to fit was to saw it.
Previous reviews had mentioned the damaged corner issue, so I am surprised it has not been rectified. The boxes are so beautiful, it's a shame to have crummy looking metal corners. A little padded packing material would go a long way.
Am anxious to plant the veggie garden, primarily tomatoes, and see how they do with a 10' planting depth.

Not sure if that happened during shipping. It doesn't seem like it as they were well packed. So a bit more effort in quality control would be good. That being said, we took a pair of vice grips and where able to bend the metal back into place to build the beds. Also, the issue was pretty minimal all in all, so much so that we are ordering a third. We just planted the ones we have and I love the fact that they are raised. No bending or stooping. Wonderful.
- Great height
- No More Rabbits
- Sturdy
- Stylish
- Well built
Best Uses
- Veggies Without Rabbits
I wanted a raised bed garden 3 years ago and waited too long so they were unavailable. Last year my husband and I made the purchase and we couldn't be happier. We chose to add soil mixed with water retention and fertilizer properties - this lessens the soil weight as well. We had the best peppers, lettuce, bush zucchini, radishes, carrots, cilantro and basil ever! The product looks stylish, the quality is excellent and it held up to the midwest winter! We loved it so much we bought a second for this year. It is a delight to garden without worrying about rabbits! I can't say enough about this product or Gardener's Supply for that matter. Just excellent all around.

Pleased with the product. I do believe that you should mark the bracing block because it can easily be mistaken for packing material and discarded. It was the lag screw that tipped me off to its intended use.

Great to look at and plenty of planting room for all of my vegetable.

Raised bed was gift for Mother's Day. Was ordered on 4/10/13 and was shown as in stock. Mother's day was on 5/12/13 and was not delivered until 5/22/13. Had to visit empty handed! My next chance to visit and assemble product will be after planting season. Purchase was a bust!
- Good Wood Good Height
- Difficult to assemble
- Need 10 Inch Screwdriver
- Need Mallet
- Screw Holes Don't Match
Best Uses
The wood & height are perfect for a tall raised bed but assembly is difficult. So far, we have had to buy a long screwdriver (available ONLY at auto supply stores) and screws. It takes two people because the screw holes don't line up so one person has to force-hold the pieces while another uses a rubber mallet to get the holes lined up. The wood screws don't go all the way through the 2 holes so don't hold the two pieces well. Why wood screws for metal pieces?
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- 2 Can Move This
- Adequate Depth For Plants
- Attractive In The Garden
- Clear Instructions
- Easy to assemble
Best Uses
- Flower Gardening
- Vegetable Gardening
Very attractive raised gardening bed that is deep enough to support tall plants and wide enough that you can fill it with several varieties of vegetables. I did not buy the additional screen/greenhouse canopy but plan to add my own. It is constructed from cedar which should last in the weather for a number of years. I am very pleased with this product and anxious for warmer weather so I can start planting!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Attractive
- Easy assembly
- Great size
- Sturdy
Best Uses
- Elderly Gardeners
- Outdoor Planting
I had been downsizing my garden over the last few years, as it has been harder to bend and crawl on the ground. These have allowed me to have all the garden I want with no bending or crawling required. They were easy to assemble. My 15 year old grandson and I put 4 together in a few hours. They are easy to plant in, maintain and harvest from. I treated them with Thompson wood sealer, to help preserve the pretty cedar wood color. They really look nice.

February 1 - 28
Reception: Friday, February 1,
6:30pm - 7:30pm
In the City Center Art Lounge
300 Page Street
San Francisco
Demonstration: Friday, February 1,
7:30pm - 8:30pm, in the City Center Dining room
Translated by Gendo Lucy Xiao
"Painting of the Heart"Chinese calligraphy, or Shu Fa (the way of writing), is a traditional art and discipline that has been practiced in China since ancient time. It is both a concentration practice for the mind and an artistic expression of the characters and feelings of the practitioner's heart. "Calligraphy is the painting of the heart and mind," Master Mac Ming Chan likes to quote a traditional saying. We are delighted to have Master Chan, a distinctive calligrapher from China to show his art work at the SFZC city center in February and give a demonstration of the art and talk about the history and styles of Chinese calligraphy.
Master Mac Ming Chan was born in the Santou city of Guangdong province in China to a scholar and Buddhist family. He started to study calligraphy at a very young age and trained extensively with Grand Master Mai Hua San, a renowned master of calligraphy in China. Master Chan moved to Hong Kong in the 70's where he won many prizes for his art work and became an esteem artist and teacher of calligraphy in his own right. His work expresses a rare kind of beauty which integrates gentleness and strength as well as simplicity and depth. His art has been widely recognized in China, Hong Kong and overseas. He currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area.
His masterpieces include:
• Championship of calligraphy competition hosted by Hong Kong University: poem by Su Shi
(Song Dynasty). Hong Kong, 1979.
• Permanent collection of Hong Kong Museum of Art: Two scrolls of poem couplet by Deng Shiru (Qin Dynasty). Hong Kong, 1989.
• US Postal Service postage design: "Snake" character for the Year of the Snake. 2001.
• Personal collection of Mr. Ma Ying-jeou, president of Taiwan: the "Horse" scroll. 2003.
• Campaign for the China Olympic Games: "Olympic Dragon". Beijing, 2007.
• CCSF new Chinatown campus building: poem by Han Yu (Tang Dynasty), San Francisco, 2009
• Exhibition in China's National Museum, also permanent collection of the Historical Museum of Overseas Chinese: "Hainan" scroll. Beijing, 2012.
