The Yadkin County Park has some new additions to its disc golf course thanks to a Lewisville Eagle Scout.
J. Connor Dalton is a member of Troop 719. Despite icy conditions Dalton was able to gather a crew of boy scouts and provide the county park's disc golf course with bag hangers, a luxury that many surrounding courses don't have.
"I originally didn't plan on my project being at the Yadkin County Park," Dalton said. "But because of some complications that occurred with my original project, I learned about Yadkin resident Jeff Cape and the park. I'm so glad I decided on a project involving a sport I had never seriously tried. I've met some great, helpful people there and I fully intend on playing disc golf at the park as much as I can."
Jeff Cape, an avid disc golfer, noted that many disc golfers will travel long distances just to play a game on a new course and that the posts Dalton installed are a rare find at most parks.
"None of the courses I have been to have such hangers," Cape said. "I have only seen a picture of a course in Raleigh that has them. With all that has been done at Yadkin County Park, this will be the icing on the cake for our course."
Dalton's project consisted of making six by four foot posts with four hooks installed on each side. He and his fellow scouts, family and friends who volunteered mixed and poured concrete to place the posts at all 18 tees on the course.
"The volunteers that helped me benefit from community service hours that can be put college applications, job resumes, honors programs, etc.," Dalton said. "They don't get a badge directly from the project, but a requirement for certain ranks in scouting included having a certain amount of service hours.
"They all helped with everything from cutting the posts down to size, mixing concrete, making sure the posts we're straight, to installing the hooks," Dalton continued.
Dalton said that he hopes that this project will encourage more people to frequent the county's disc golf course and help golfers prevent wear and tear on their disc bags and other equipment.
"I wanted this project to help the park gain popularity and attention from other golfers who aren't regulars at the park, since there are only a handful of courses in the state with bag/equipment hangers," Dalton said.
About disc golf
According to the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA), disc golf is played much like traditional golf. Replacing the clubs and golf balls are the player and a Frisbee.
According to PDGA.com, the sport got its start in the 1970s. The disc is thrown from a tee area and tries to hit an elevated metal basket.
Much like golf the player tries to hit the "hole" in as few throws as possible. There are terrain challenges such as shrubbery, trees and other landscape that make the game more difficult.
Disc golf is becoming a more popular sport as it often doesn't require a membership to a course, there's rarely a fee to play on the course and it doesn't require purchase or rental of golf carts making it an affordable pastime.
To learn more about disc golf visit www.pdga.com. You can play your own round of disc golf by visiting the course at the county park located at 660 Service Rd. in Yadkinville.

Unemployment in Pushmataha County improved in October from September figures, though more slowly than in previous months, while all but six of the stateŌĆÖs 77 counties saw increases in the unemployment rate.
With the New Year just around the corner and resolutions being made, I wanted to urge you to make one that is worthwhile this year. Instead of the typical resolutions (like to loose weight or to stop smoking or drinking, not that those are not important but they usually donŌĆÖt last past January), I would like you to think about making the resolution to help stop bullying.
Recently AT&T Oklahoma gave an amazing gift to members of the Oklahoma National GuardŌĆÖs 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) who are deployed overseas to Afghanistan and Kuwait.┬Ā AT&T has donating 3,600 calling cards so members of the Guard who are serving in Afghanistan and Kuwait can call home to visit with family and friends.┬Ā Governor Fallin joined AT&T representatives and members of the military at a ceremony to present the cards.
During the last part of the week before the holiday weekend, the Pushmataha County Court was busy dealing with numerous bogus check cases. ┬Ā These cases varied in price and location but it seemed that two locations were hit the hardest, PruettŌĆÖs Food in Antlers and the Clayton Country Store in Clayton.┬Ā Those two locations alone got hit for over $500.00.
Charlotte Hull, of Idabel, obtained merchandise by means of a bogus check in Antlers at PruettŌĆÖs Foods.┬Ā HullŌĆÖs Check was for the amount of $244.48.┬Ā Hull failed to appear in court and an arrest warrant was issued for her.
Dennis & Mary Clark, owners of "TA Farms LLC", are top quality Hay producers who made their way to SE Oklahoma from Bedford, Iowa last week after being made aware of the area's desperate need of affordable and high quality hay. After hearing this news, Mr. Clark started up his Semi to bring hay to people and their animals in need, just in time for Christmas! A total of 18 people, and their livestock, benefited and as everyone stated it was the best hay they have seen and the price was even better.

'Twas the Night before Christmas' or 'A Visit from St. Nicholas'
"Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her ŌĆśkerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winterŌĆÖs nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Once again Kealey Standridge of Antlers won 1st place in the Voice of Democracy essay contest at our local level. The contest is sponsored by the VFW Post 8316 in Hugo. For the 4th consecutive year Kealey has taken first place at the local level. The members at the VFW post expressed how extremely proud they were of Kealey for her great achievement.
Pvt. Ashley Webb, a graduate of Rattan High School, enlisted in the National Guard in May 2011 with East Central University's Gold Program. Upon graduation at ECU, Webb, an automated logistics specialist, will be commissioned to second lieutenant.
Webb says the college benefits are what brought her to the National Guard. "I joined for the money to go to college with the tuition waiver," she says, "and because so many in my family are in the military."
On Saturday, December 17, Pushmataha County experienced a first for the Holiday Season. A ŌĆ£MotionlessŌĆØ Christmas Parade.
Many residents voiced their unfavorable opinions about breaking tradition this year as the Pushmataha County Chamber of Commerce, the Deer Capitol Tourism Association and Pushmataha Development Initiative decided to do away with the traveling down Main Street parade and decided to make it become a ŌĆ£MotionlessŌĆØ Parade.

Dear God, It's Me, Tivo
It's interesting to think of the correlations between religion and reproduction. From illuminated manuscripts to the Guttenberg Bible, sacred texts have pushed reproductive techniques forward. Electronic media have only entrenched the scenario: Televangelism, holy-rolling web rings, and spiritual podcasts might put the script in scripture, but they have also led to what some are seeing as a revival in spiritualism among online consumers, er, believers. In Karlsruhe, Germany, new media place of worship ZKM has mounted an exhibition entitled Medium Religion, which is focused on what happens when religious faith moves "from the private sphere of personal belief out into the public sphere of visual communication." The works they've included--by artists Christoph Büchel, Paul Chan, Wim Delvoye, Valie Export, Omer Fast, Boris Groys, Vitaly Komar, Beryl Korot and Steve Reich, robotlab, and many others--consider the role of images in broadcasting ideology and the structure of mass media's discourse networks. While looking at the link between world views and worldwide transmissions, the show also raises the question of what happens to "minority faiths" and how they weather a ratings or hit-driven communication economy. In addition to the many art projects included, the show features a number of "documentary installations" that provide evidence of spiritual transmissions' popularity, ranging from a roundup of Osama Bin Laden's video messages to episodes of Paul Eugene's Gospel Aerobics. But that raises another question... If the body is a temple, what would god make of the new flesh? - Marisa Olson

Viva Cyborg Theory
Donna Haraway once wrote, in her infamous "Cyborg Manifesto," of the idea that there were no separations between bodies and objects. Our life force flows through us and out into the objects we make, she reasoned; thus there ought to be no distinction between the so-called real or natural organisms that nature produces and the artificial machines that humans make. Her conclusion: We are all cyborgs. While this theory was developed prior to the internet's big boom (in 1991, presumably before the word "cyborg" took on the stale whiff it has now), and explicitly as a means of wresting feminism from the binary system in which she saw it entrenched, it turns out that it applies very well to the work of a net art boys club that calls themselves "Neenstars." In 2000 the group was so determined to set themselves apart from the existing paradigm of media art discourse that they hired a Silicon Valley branding firm to invent a new name for them and what they do. The resulting word, "Neen" has been used by the boys (and a few girls along the way) to refer to their work and practice, which revolves around replication and the exploration of an ever-upgraded series of machines. It's all spelled out in their manifesto, in which they say, "Our official theories about reality--quantum physics, etc.--prove that the taste of our life is the taste of a simulation. Machines help us feel comfortable with this condition: they simulate the simulation we call Nature." Open now at Brussels' think.21 Contemporary Gallery is a show of the work of Neen godfathers Andreas Angelidakis, Miltos Manetas, and Angelo Plessas. It won't surprise you that their work moves fluidly through media that includes paintings, web animations, photos, and architectural structures. More ...
One Thousand and One Biennials
Does anyone know how many biennials there are in the world, now? There is a whole sub-field of biennial studies that looks at such issues as the economic impacts of the shows on their host cities and the artists' market values, or the relationship between Eastern biennials and Westernization. Of course, the latter question hinges on whether the show is called a "biennial" or a "biennale"... The truth is, there are now so many of these that it's easy to overlook them. Even the fledging field of electronic art has a few! But Sweden's Electrohype is a unique one, bringing ambitious installations to the beautiful Malmö Konsthall. Now in its fifth incarnation, the show draws large audiences but avoids the temptation to be a mega-show, instead opting to give serious space and consideration to good work by often more emerging artists. Electrohype 08 features ten international artists whose projects focus on "ongoing processes and time." These are Doug Back (CA), Ralf Baecker (DE), Serina Erfjord (NO), Kerstin Ergenzinger (DE), Jessica Field (CA), Voldemars Johansons (LV), Diane Morin (CA), Kristoffer Myskja (NO), Erik Olofsen (NL), and Bill Vorn (CA). While time and endurance are age-old themes in the modern art world, there's not a usual suspect in the bunch! Nonetheless, there is due notice paid to the histories and influences traced by the show. For instance, Doug Back's Sticks (1979) is showing aside Ralf Baecker's Rechnender Raum (Calculating Space) (2007). Despite a large difference in scale and nearly thirty years between them, both are kinetic sculptures fleshing out what it means to compute and how mechanics might be used to reflect upon human movement. Ironically, the big piece looks at micro-motions within the body and the smaller one looks at social interaction! Other interesting works include ...
The Real McCoys
Jennifer and Kevin McCoy are a married couple of New York-based artists whose collaborative work conveys a love of film and televised narratives. Their early projects embodied database aesthetics as they chopped shows like 8 is Enough, Kung Fu, and Starsky and Hutch into short clips, often inviting viewers to rearrange them according to what we'd now call metadata. For instance, one could choose from a bank of DVDs in their Every Shot, Every Episode to watch every occurrence of the color blue, or of extreme close-ups. More recent works have entailed building elaborate miniature film sets, complete with working cameras, to shoot microfilms. In the case of High Seas, the set is a sort of kinetic sculpture in its own right, mimicking its subject as it moves around to create shots of the famed Titanic loosing its footing on the ocean. The role of filmic media in mythologizing the ill-fated boat is of course implicit in the installation. While these projects have always been infused with a sense of subjectivity, as the artists perform their fandom through their selective decisions, lately their work has incorporated more explicitly autobiographical elements. Their piece, Our Second Date, for instance, is a miniature movie set which features the artists watching the film from their second date, Weekend, reenacted through a mobile sculpture and video streamed live to a tiny screen. The choice to position themselves as spectators within their own reality, and moreover to confess that their romance budded around screen pleasure opens up a number of interpretations of their ongoing work and paves the way to their newest project, which opens November 22nd at Postmasters Gallery. In I'll Replace You, the artists again place themselves at center stage, without stepping in front of the camera. Instead, a series of different ...
Spreading the Wealth
An exhibition at Philadelphia's Basekamp, entitled "What's Mine Is Yours" speculates loosely about the origin of the eponymous phrase, asking if it a Jewish proverb or a socialist ideal, while also working to answer the bigger question of why on earth artists would want to collaborate -- with each other or their audiences. While the art market encourages single authors, hierarchy, and conceptual or physical territorialism, in "What's Mine Is Yours" curator Sara Reisman has encouraged artists to share their feelings about.... sharing. The results are intriguingly as politically charged as they are mystical. Take, for example, Star Systems, a video work in which Bjorn Kjelltoft and Shana Moulton merged their identities. While Rey Akdogan's list of the pros and cons of collaborating could be read as a manifesto, tongue-in-cheek, or fair warning, the Mercury Twins' nebulous Cloud City invites the public to cluster like instant cloud formations. The show opens today and also includes radio-performance work by Kabir Carter and a real-time public networking project by vydavy sindikat. - Marisa Olson

The secret of successful outdoor entertaining is to set the stage in a way that fits the occasion. We take a look at how seven designers created carefully conceived enviroments for everything from intimate dining nooks to kidcentric playscapes.
Most people see outdoor dining as a more relaxed endeavor than its indoor counterpart. Perhaps the most important planning point is to connect the dining area to its surroundings. Going alfresco requires a certain flexibility of spirit—you are not in charge of the sun, moon, clouds, or rain. What you can do is design in anticipation of all possible variables.
Lunches in a hot sun will be more comfortable under a pergola or trellis topped with vines, cloth, or woven bamboo or reed fencing. For post-sundown dining you may want a more open setting so views of night sky are unrestricted. Furnishing should be waterproof, unless you're willing to replace them often.

Complete list of team below
The Summerville Green Wave claimed two of the top honors for the fifth annual All-County Line football all-star list, but three other Summerville-area teams are also represented.
Summerville Communications released its All-County Line Football Team, a collaborative effort between the Summerville Journal Scene and The Goose Creek Gazette, this week. The pool of players came from the following high schools: Ashley Ridge, Cane Bay, Fort Dorchester, Goose Creek, Pinewood Prep, Stratford and Summerville.
This year, Summervilles John McKissick was named the Dorchester County Coach of the Year. McKissick surpassed the 600-career coaching wins benchmark this season, a mark no other football coach at any level has ever met.
But what is more impressive to some is the way he and his staff managed to keep their players morale up through a tough time.
The Green Wave got out to a 2-4 start this season, one of its worst ever. However, McKissick and his staff never lost faith in their team. Under McKissicks guidance the team kept striving to improve and kept its eyes on the big picture.
Summerville turned its season around and went 5-0 in region action, including a convincing win over previously undefeated Bluffton, to claim the Region 8-AAAA championship and the top playoff seeding that went with it.
The Wave was upset in the first round of the playoffs by a very good Spartanburg team, but finished with a 7-5 record that is far better than many predicted early in the season.
Sophomore linebacker Mac McCurry had a lot to do with the turnaround, which is why he was named the Dorchester County Defensive Player of the Year.
At the beginning of the year, McCurry was one of the leading candidates for the starting quarterback job. However, he was moved to linebacker for the teams final pre-season scrimmage and quickly showed he could make plays on that side of the ball as well.
During 11 regular-season games McCurry made 175 tackles, nearly 70 more than any other player on his team. Of those, 93 were solo tackles and nine were sacks.
By the time region play rolled around, opposing teams knew they had better account for No. 12, who just seems to have a knack for finding the ball.
Ashley Ridge running back Romelo Doctor was named the Dorchester County Offensive Player of the Year.
When teams took the field against the Swamp Foxes they knew their top priority was containing this explosive rusher. This season Doctor rushed for 1,450 yards, scored 20 TDs and participated in the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas all-star game, during which he scored a touchdown.
Doctors combination of speed, moves and drive have led to some of the most memorable moments in the short history of the Ashley Ridge football program. The four-year starter finishes his high school career with 5,045 rushing yards and 59 touchdowns, making him the programs all-time rushing leader.
The Goose Creek Gators claimed three of the other top honors.
Goose Creeks Chuck Reedy was named the Berkeley County Coach of the Year. Reedy guided the Gators to a 13-0 record before they were removed from the playoffs by the South Carolina High School League Executive Committee after self reporting a possible ineligible player on the roster. The player in question, a special needs student, never entered a game Goose Creek was leading by less than 41 points.
Tramel Terry was named the Berkeley County Offensive Player of the Year. Terry, who is set to enroll at Georgia this month, finished his career as the states Mr. Football selection and played in the annual Shrine Bowl. He was also supposed to play in the Under Armour All-American game in early January before tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in the Shrine Bowl. He had nearly 1,700 total yards between rushing and receiving this season and scored 24 touchdowns.
He had 52 touchdowns in his career and topped 4,300 total yards.
Gator end Gerald Turner was named the Berkeley County Defensive Player of the Year. Turner, a South Carolina commitment, dominated one side of the line and teams often ran away from him this season. He had 66 total tackles, including 19 for lost yardage. He added eight sacks and pressured the quarterback 25 times.
He also played in the Shrine Bowl, finishing with six tackles and an interception in the South Carolina squads victory.

Best Uses
Comments about LINO L2P5 Cross Line And 5 Point Laser:
Our company has something close to 20 of the L2P5. As the PLS's died and could not be repaired or calibrated, (which is their downside), we have replaced them with a longer lasting Leica. The Leica gets used on large commercial sights daily and stand up to the typical abuse better than any of the others noted in the other reviews.
Best Uses
Comments about LINO L2P5 Cross Line And 5 Point Laser:
Very useful product, especially the ability to rotate the head on the attachment. Case is a little bulky and would be helpful if it included space for receiver and bracket
Best Uses
Comments about LINO L2P5 Cross Line And 5 Point Laser:
What I didn't like!
1.) The top plumb dot is not exactly on the plumb line when you shine the lines and dots together. I have ordered 2 L2P5 devices and they are BOTH the same! Either the plumb dot, plumb line or BOTH features are not showing true measurements.
2.) To protect yourself if you decide to send the device back, it will cost you around $20 to add insurance. Whatever money I expected to save, I have lost because I returned my L2P5.
3.) Compared to any Pacific Laser Systems (PLS) line and dot laser, the L2P5 seems very, very flimsy. In fact, a customer representative at A.W. Meyer Tools didn't want to sell me the L2P5 when he saw how flimsy it looked compared to the PLS Lasers.
The cover for the battery compartment is particularly weak and very, very thin. The means to lock the battery compartment is a very poor design as it is only a snap on, plastic design. I expect repeated battery changes to eventually cause the battery compartment lock to fail.
In this regard, the Dewalt089 is exceptionally robust, and probably the most durable looking line laser I have ever seen.
What I liked:
1.) It has 4 dots: Up, down, left and right.
2.) It has a plumb and level line.
3.) It only has two buttons but the controls are intuitive; you really don't need the instructions to operate it.
4.) The L2P5 has a 1/4" tripod fitting BUT the device's stand has a 5/8" tripod fitting! That means you don't have to buy a new tripod.
5.) The stand that comes with the L2P5 allows you to rotate the device 360 degrees on a tripod.
6.) It has a pendulum lock: that means a.) you can lock the device to prevent damage during transportation, b.) you can lock the L2P5 if you want to use angles instead of plumb and level measurements.
7.) It has 2 cool accessories: a.) the ball adapter for setting the L2P5 at angles b.) the magnetic multifunction adapter for attaching the L2P5 to steel studs. It's also a very nice mini tripod.
8.) Probably the feature I like the most is the plumb and level lines fan out to a very, very wide angle of 230 DEGREES!
Best Uses
Comments about LINO L2P5 Cross Line And 5 Point Laser:
The L2P5 is a decent tool. What I liked were:
1.)It's ease of use. It only has 2 buttons, making it intuitive for finding plumb and level, either through the use of dots or lines.
2.)The plumb and level lines travel more than 180 degrees. If I remember correctly, I believe they are in a 230 degree arc... very impressive!
3.)The stand, which comes in the package, is very useful. It allows the tool to swivel a full 360 degrees when mounted on a tripod. This feature also makes the bottom plumb line very visible.
4.)Also, the fitting for the stand is not 1/4" as the website and manual claim. It's actually better because it fits 5/8" thread which is common in construction grade tripods.
5.)The laser lines, although less visible in the daylight, are very sharp. They are not thick lines which you must cut in half to obtain a truer mark. I hear Leica will also hop on the green laser light bandwagon which will make it's lasers 4-5 times brighter, but those aren't in circulation yet.
6.)The accessories seem innovative. I plan to get the mini tripod customarily included with the L2. And perhaps the telescoping poll as well as the ball adapter for odd angles.
7.)It has a pendulum lock!
8.)You can also lock the laser in certain positions if you need a line that is neither level or plumb, as in a baluster installation.
What I did not like:
1.)The tool seems flimsy. The casing is not as robust as, for example the Dewalt DW087K. The lock for the battery compartment is especially thin. In fact, "thin" is what comes to mind when I consider the L2P5's casing.
The same can be said of the stand that comes with the laser.
2.)On my laser,the upper plumb dot is slightly to the right of the plumb line. Because of this, I'm exchanging the L2P5 for a replacement.
3.)The Hilti PMC 46, although more expensive, offers a bracket and a mini tripod, in addition to other amenities, in it's package for just under $400. For roughly $320, the L2P5 only comes with the stand, target plate, pouch and the laser. I believe, however, the Leica offers more innovation in it's accessories.
Conclusion. Overall, I think the L2P5 is a good value. I wouldn't purchase a Hilti PMC 46 or PLS 2 in place of a Leica Lino L2P5. My biggest gripe is the flimsiness of it's casing. What I liked the most are it's features and accuracy.

The occasional tapping of wrench against iron, footsteps across the creaking, ancient parquet and the hum of distant voices are the only things to break the silence of a silent apartment. The sun – finally, the long-awaited sun – sneaks in, wary to make too much of a show or to commit beyond today, as I sit and begin my week. Good moods have returned in spades, lighting up my days in a way that no bright ray of sunshine can. Whistling, singing, smiles bursting across rosy-cheeked male faces have a way of cheering me up and pushing me joyously through the day. My own sluggish, lackadaisical mood is reinvigorated and I find myself inspired once again. Things seem to be looking up in Crazy Town, our tiny private island lost in a sea of mankind has burst into summery bloom even as autumn sets in outside my windows. We are, once again, on the right track.
Bad dreams disintegrate into dust, evaporating into the pale, watery light of dawn, fading into a steady, calm peace. Hope fills our days after weeks of worry and woe and we laugh out loud. Autumn, my favorite season, has settled in wrapped in a golden glow and smelling oddly, beautifully of Christmas. As the blogosphere is all abuzz with Thanksgiving, sweet potato casserole, pumpkin pies and roast goose, bright, rich, exotic, warming tagines, ossobuco, curries and stews clutter my brain and I dream of far-off lands and Italy. Although no Thanksgiving finds a place in our humble home and Christmas is one of those remnants of JP's former life which sneaks across the threshold, inviting itself for a star appearance once only every several years, the holiday season excites me, stirring up childlike images of fairy dust, twinkling lights and snow gently falling out of inky black skies, lighting up a romantically icy world. And we begin counting the days to Hanukkah.
Autumn has me thinking of crostate. Chilly autumn mornings gathered around the old wooden table in Ettore's kitchen in that large, rambling house nestled in the fields outside Villastanza, the frost gathering on the stalks of corn just beyond the window. Bundled up against the crispness of an early November day, the stimulating aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the room while the boys spill a tumble of cakes and cookies across the wooden surface, each grabbing up one, two, three of their favorites. A rustic crostata is uncovered * ta da * and takes its pride of place in the center, elbowing aside plates and mugs, turning up its nose at all the packaged goodies who pale in comparison, amid the oohs and ahhhs of the men. A homey, comforting crostata, a buttery, crispy, delicate piecrust filled simply with our favorite marmellata, jam or jelly, hidden snugly under a lattice of more delicate crust. Slices greedily eaten and washed down with milk or caffé latte, nothing rich or heavy to weigh one down, just enough to fill tummies, a soothing, unpretentious treat to wake up to, a sweet kiss to start the day. Then dress the boys, wrap them up tightly in coats, mittens and wooly bonnets and scoot them off to school.
Yes, the humble crostata. Such an Italian treat! Simple, homey and rustic, ready in a flash, sweet and light. How many did I make, blending, rolling out dough, selecting a favorite jam, baking and serving to eager husband and children? Autumn may mean pumpkin and apple pies, cranberry muffins and sweet potato pancakes to others, but this season is inextricably intertwined with, bound to the beautiful crostata. My trip to Italy and a weekend with From Plate to Page brought the crostata back to me! It had been years since I baked one, too many years, yet a gift of marvelous, luscious homemade jams in an amazing, wild, creative combination of flavors was offered to us by Wendy of Sunchowder's Emporia located in my home state of Florida, one of our generous, incredible sponsors. I ended up with a jar of Black Forest Jam, a stunning confection of blackberries, Callebaut chocolate and Chambord as well as a jar of Pumpkin Spice Butter. Ilva threw together some fabulous individual crostate during the weekend, which had me scratching my head in wonder at how I could have forgotten to bake this favorite goodie for so long. And as soon as we returned home, well, I did.
How many wishes have I wished in my life? Birthday candles blown out in one giant breath? Starlight, star bright, the first star I see tonight? Or standing atop that mountain in Italy outside of Bergamo on San Lorenzo, the night of the falling stars, le stelle candenti, quick quick grab at the first shooting star and make a wish! How many wishes come true? I have my Prince Charming… friendships deep and true have been granted…. two sons grown tall, healthy, handsome, smart and kind. But all of those wishes made over glowing lights and falling stars, coins picked up from sidewalks and eyelashes or fluffy dandelion blooms blown into the wind…well, not many. Yet, I was recently visited by The Fairy Hobmother, a surprise visit generously bestowing joy and granting wishes. He offered me an Amazon gift card and this holiday season will be that much sweeter, that much more brilliant because of his visit!
A special thanks to our generous From Plate to Page sponsors:
Sunchowder's Emporia whose stunningly delicious jams went into my crostata (order online or find a list of shops who sell the jams);
Taste of Home whose apron is worn proudly as I bake;
Zwilling J.A. Henckels (JP LOVES the knife)!
And The Fairy Hobmother from Appliances Online for the wish come true!
Pasta Frolla (Sweet Pastry Dough):
1 ¼ cups (175 g) flour
¼ tsp baking powder
Large pinch of salt
¼ cup + 1 Tbs (65 g) sugar
8 ½ Tbs (4 ½ oz/ 125 g) butter
1 large egg yolk + 3 – 5 tsp ice water
Place the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
Cube the butter and toss the cubes in the dry ingredients to coat. Using the tips of your fingers and thumb, rub the butter and flour together quickly until all of the butter is blended in and there are no more lumps. Add the egg yolk and 3 teaspoons cold water and, using a fork, blend vigorously until all of the flour/sugar/butter mixture is moistened and starts to pull together into a dough. Add another teaspoon or two of ice water if needed.
Scrape the dough out onto a floured work surface and, using the heel of one hand, smear the dough inch by inch away from you in short, hard, quick movements; this will completely blend the butter in. Scrape up the smeared dough and, working very quickly, gently knead into a smooth, homogeneous ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes if the dough is too sticky to easily roll.
Prepare the Crostata:
You will need 10 or 12 (more or less, depending on how thick you would like the jam layer) tablespoons jam, jelly or fruit butter total (can be divided into 2 or 4 flavors).
On a lightly floured surface (kept floured), roll out ¾ of the dough to fit a 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate. Gently press into place and trim off excess dough, adding this to the remaining dough. Spoon the jam or jelly into the crust and spread evenly over the bottom.
Roll out the remaining dough and slice (using a knife, pizza or pastry cutter) into ½ to 1-inch strips. Lay over the top of the jam layer as you like, evenly spacing the strips. Press the edges of the lattice strips to the edges of the dough to seal around the sides. Trim. Place the prepared crostata in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake the crostata for 20 to 25 minutes until puffy and the lattice crust as well as the bottom of the tart are a deep golden color.
Cool. Serve. Eat.

Garnet Lois Clay Markham
9/29/1943 - 9/29/2012
"Life is not a dress rehearsal, but a one time experience. I have no regrets and hold no grudges", Lois.
Meadows of Dan was home where she loved exploring the shops and back roads. She considered herself an "accumulator", she willingly and thoughtfully shared with others above her own needs. She cared deeply for her family and friends, community and co-workers at Laurel Meadows, recording life events and family histories for all in her calendars. She was preceded in death by her loving parents Alva and Violet Clay, mother Gertrude P. Singer, sisters- Jeanette Dickens Horton and Janet Walker Williams, nephew- Michael E. Horton. She is survived by her children: Teresa and Denis Peters of Elliston, VA, Sharon and Wendel Ingram of Salem, VA, Paul and Suze Markham of LaPlata, MD. We all are thankful, cherishing the life and lessons shared together. They will miss her humor and that "all knowing, be honest", look from her eyes. Lois loved her grandchildren dearly, Sarah and Andrew Morris, Michael and Brandy Harris, and Jacob Harris. Lois' delight and joy will be shared with her great-grandchildren: Natalie and Jaxon Morris; Kadence, Kayley and Bristol Harris; and Dylan and Makayla Harris who made her heart smile. They brightened her last days with hugs, giggles and pictures for the walls at Friendship Manor.

Not much of a Reader to begin With. I realised this was more like an information folder about the business idea behind NOW Foods than how to 'beat the odds' in other areas...
The tale of a small, struggling business which finally makes it to the big leagues. The writing style was interesting, with grammar and idiom errors at the beginning but polished prose at the end, almost as if shadowing NOW`s humble origins and growth into a large, reputable and sophisticated company. This book has encouraged me to focus more on NOW products than formally, after learning about the care with which they treat their products, and the constant testing for quality control.

Hi, this is Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan. One of my jobs as Secretary of State is to make sure that the elections are run smoothly and efficiently and also that every eligible Missourian has the right to have their voice heard and their vote counted. The election process is one that many people have questions about. So, I want to answer those frequently asked questions and also go through a step-by-step guide about the voting process. So, please join me as we walk through the voting process.
First things first…. In order to vote you must be a registered voter in the jurisdiction in which you reside.
Once you have become a registered voter, you need to find out where to go to cast your vote.
You can find your polling location on the voter card that your local election authority sends to you prior to the election.
If you can't find your card, you should contact your local election authority or look up your polling place on the Secretary of State's website. All you need to know is the name of your county.
Once you know where you're going, you need to know what to bring.
A registered voter must bring a form of personal identification to the polling place. These forms of I.D. include the following: an I.D. issued by a state or local government, or an I.D. issued by a college, university or tech school here in Missouri. You can also bring a copy of a current utility bill, a bank statement, paycheck or any government document that contains your address and name
If you don't have any of these forms of identification, you can log onto our website and find other alternatives or you can call our office to explore other options.
After you've arrived at your poll place and checked in with a poll worker, you have the choice to cast your vote either on a paper ballot or on an electronic touch screen voting machine with a voter-verified paper trail.
Whichever option you decide to use, the ballot will list all the races and issues that you need to vote on. Read the instructions on the ballot carefully and mark your ballot for the candidate of your choice. If you don't know what issues or candidates you will be voting on, you can always check on our website to look at a current list of issues and candidates. For additional information on this or to read a copy of the voter's bill of rights, please log on to our website.
Going to the polls to vote means that you are taking time out of your busy schedule to have your voice heard and your vote counted in the upcoming election. Even though the poll places are open from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., often its best to go in the middle of the day when the lines aren't so long. But if you have to work late, you can still vote as long as you are line by 7 p.m.
If you have special needs and require additional assistance to vote, or are eligible to be added to the permanent absentee list, log onto our website to get more information.
Once you've voted you can view the election night results on our website by clicking on the Elections and Voter tab at the top of the screen. On the Elections webpage click on the Election Results to view up-to-date election results from around the state.
I hope this video has been helpful to you, if you have any other questions, I hope you'll also check our website. We have lots of other valuable information. Thanks and I hope to see you at the polls!

- English (2) (remove)
- Tagalog (2) (remove)
- The systematization of tagalog morphosyntax (1994)
- In the last two decades Philippine languages, and of these especially Tagalog, have acquired a prominent place in linguistic theory. A central role in this discussion was played by two papers written by Schachter (1976 and 1977), who was inspired by Keenan's artcle on the subject from 1976. The most recent contributions on this topic have been from de Wolff (1988) and Shibatani (1988), both of which were published in a collection of essays, edited by Shibatani, with the title Passive and Voice. These works, and several works in-between, deal with the focus system specific to Philippine languages. The main discussion centers around the fact that Philippine languages contain a basic set of 5 to 7 affix focus forms. Their exact number varies not only in the secondary literature, but in the primary sources, i.e. Tagalog grammars, as well, where considerable differences in the number of affix focus forms can be found. All of these works, however, do agree on one point: the Philippine focus system basica1ly consists of agent, patient (=goal or object), benefactive, locative, and instrumental affix forms. Schachter/Otanes (1972) list a number of further forms, and in Drossard (1983 and 1984) we tried to show (in an attempt similar to those of Sapir 1917 and Klimov 1977) that the main criterion for a systematization of the Philippine focus system consists in the difference between the active and stative domains, an attempt which in our opinion was largely misunderstood (cf. the brief remarks in Shibatani (1988) and de Wolff (1988). The present paper is thus, on the one hand, an attempt to repeat and clarify our earlier position, and on the other, a further step towards such a systematization. A first step in this direction was an article on resultativity in Tagalog from 1991. In the present paper this approach will be extended to reciprocity. In the process we will show that it is valid to make a distinction between an active (=controlled action) vs. a stative (=limited controlled action) domain. First, however, we will take a brief look at what makes up the active and stative voice systems.
- Towards a typology of valency : ein Beitrag zu den Techniken Valenz und Orientierung (1984)
- Grammatical relations, particularly the notions of transitivity, case marking, ergativity, passive and antipassive have been a favourite subject of typological research during the last decade, but surprisingly, the notion of valency has been of marginal interest in cross-linguistic studies, though the syntactic and semantic status of participants is, to a great extent, determined by the relational properties of the verb. Valency is the property of the verb which determines the obligatory and optional number of its participants, their morphosyntactic form, their semantic class membership (e.g. ± animate, ± human) ,and their semantic role (e.g. agent, patient, recipient). The valency inherently gives information on the nature of the semantic and syntactic relations that hold between the verb and its participants. If a verb is combined with more participants than allowed or less than required, or if the participants do not show the required morphosyntactic form or class membership, the clause is ungrammatical. In other words, it is not sufficient to consider only the number of actants as a matter of valency, but it is only acceptable if all semantic and morphosyntactic properties of the relation between a verb and its participants that are predictable from the verb are included. The predictability of these properties results from their inherent givenness, and it does not seem reasonable to count some inherently given relational properties as a matter of valency, but not others (compare Helbig (1971:38f) and Heidolph et ale (1981:479) who distinguish between the quantitative, syntactic and semantic aspect of valency).

KANEOHE BAY MARINE CORPS BASE, Hawaii, April 4, 1997 As the Pali Highway descends from Oahu's cloud-covered Ko'olau Mountains, the Mokapu Peninsula, a majestic bay and a near cloudless sky frame the startlingly blue Pacific Ocean.
Here is one of Oahu's most pristine coastlines, and it is easy to understand why Hawaiians cherish and seek to preserve its beauty. The Marine Corps understands -- and works hard to protect what some locals consider kapu -- sacred.
Although this base occupies only about five square miles of the peninsula, within its borders lie ancient burial grounds, endangered wildlife, historical sites and fragile, erosion-prone coastlines.
For years, military organizations paid only passing attention to the property's historical significance and environmental fragility. In the past, the military used sand from dunes that served as the largest-known native Hawaiian burial grounds as fill around the base. Brush fires started during gunnery training destroyed the nesting sites of red-footed boobies. These birds burned to death rather than leave their nests and eggs. Pickleweed and mangrove trees choked the mud flats where another bird, Hawaiian stilts, built nests so their newly hatched chicks could rush for their natural habitat, the sea.
Fifteen years ago, the Marines hired Diane Dragot to work with her Hawaiian counterparts in establishing some environmental controls at the base. Today, a staff of 35 under the direction of Maj. Paul D'Antonio work environmental programs that in fiscal 1995 won top honors for natural resources conservation from the Navy and DoD. Their programs and initiatives reflect the Marine Corps' three environmental pillars -- compliance, conservation and pollution prevention.
"The Navy's environmental budget isn't growing, but the pollution prevention portion will get much larger," D'Antonio said. "Eventually, we will be in compliance and then just monitor our resources to remain in compliance. But there's still a lot of work ahead."
Much of the work requires knowledge of the property's history, Dragot said. "We reconnected with Hawaiian families displaced during World War II when the base was built on what had been their property. We created an oral history of the land and developed an inventory of what used to be here. With this information, we learned what the land was like before the military came, and much of what we have done since is to try to restore the grounds to their natural [premilitary] habitat."
The Marines aren't going anywhere, however, and the last Base Realignment and Closure Commission directed relocation here of aircraft assets from across the island at Naval Air Station Barbers Point. Some construction will occur, but armed with the environmental inventory, base engineers will be able to ensure compatibility between future and past.
Meanwhile, the base continues cleaning up from past indifference, re-establishing native plants and promoting a pervasive culture in which recycling is a daily fact of life. Clean-up efforts include such activities as repairing damaged from old tanks that leaked jet fuel into the soil.
When the base got serious about recycling, the commanding officer personally inspected the refuse of people using the base landfill. "He'd point out recyclable items and send them back home with directions to 'recycle, recycle, recycle,'" D'Antonio said.
Base residents got the message. Within a couple years, the major said, the Marine Corps base was the largest DoD recycler on the island. "We moved from passive to active recycling," explained George Lingle, who supervises compliance with environmental laws and regulations. "In 18 months, the amount of waste we divert from our landfill increased 800 percent."
Discarded wood became mulch used for weed control, while officials packaged other reusable materials. In the first year, the base diverted 90 percent of cardboard from the landfill. A Marine stationed here designed a poster that urged everyone to "reduce, reuse, recycle."
"The philosophy of recycling appeals to some Marines, particularly younger ones," D'Antonio said. "But for most Marines, we show the money issues. For example, [Marine Corps Base] Quantico [Va.] recently closed one landfill and opened a new one at a cost of $36 million. That money could have paid for a new dormitory or purchased new weapons and equipment. Every dollar spent on the environment takes away from other programs."
Kaneohe Bay, too, is spending money on capping an old landfill and starting a new one. However, James Abbott, head hazardous waste management here, arranged funding from the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center, Port Hueneme, Calif., by turning the operation into research and development projects.
One project is high-tech. "We're studying the "capping" of the Kaneohe Bay landfill, which must be completed by 2003, by placing computer-controlled sensors in the landfill to measure meteorological data," Abbott explained. "Port Hueneme can call the computer anytime, download information, analyze it and build reports."
The project looks at six different scenarios for closing the landfill. "Ultimately, we hope to show how natural vegetation cover will allow us to close the landfill at one-hundredth of the nominal cost of standard closures," Abbott said. He added while the data collected will be extremely beneficial for Kaneohe Bay, it potentially could be used anywhere.
A second project funded by the Port Hueneme center involves removal of jet fuel from the ground. George Lingle supervises three soil-cleansing techniques: bioslurping (a technique proposed by Port Hueneme, where tubes are inserted in the soil to slurp out the pollution) or "cooking" the contaminants in heat piles or land farming. Odd terms, they each achieve the same objective -- natural decontamination of soil.
"In the past, we hauled contaminated soil to a thermal treatment plant off base," Lingle said. "It cost us $120 per cubic yard, and we didn't get the soil back. By treating our soil on base, we save money and can reuse the decontaminated soil."
Land farming may produce the best results, Lingle said. Truckloads of dirt are spread over a rectangular tract about half the size of a football field, precisely 18 inches deep. Tilling enables the soil's natural microorganisms sufficient air to thrive. "Then, we just let the bugs do their job," Lingle said.
Treating 200 to 300 cubic yards at a time for just a few weeks costs about $35 per cubic yard and produces clean, reusable soil.
Wherever the Marines or contractors dig on the base, they uncover artifacts and bones from the sites of earlier residents. "We're uncovering burial sites continuously," Dragot said. "Sand used as fill when the Navy first built the base came from dunes along the coast where the burials took place."
As a result, the engineers require an archaeological expert to oversee many construction projects, particularly where the engineers know from surveys of past residents the site occupies a former habitat. "We know, for example, that the runway and aprons were built right over former residential property," Dragot said.
Past construction also affected the water quality of Kaneohe Bay, the most strictly regulated waters in the state. "Because of the reef and tidal waters, the bay doesn't flush very well," D'Antonio explained. "So we had to replumb every operation that was dumping into the bay. There were a lot of motor pools with oil-water separators plumbed to storm drains. We replumbed them to flow to the treatment plant instead."
Now Kaneohe Bay motor pools use water recyclers, conserving water costs, which are high. "We have the biggest water bill in the Marine Corps," D'Antonio noted. The base spends $1 million a year on the precious resource. Up to 500,000 gallons a day of recycled water keep the base golf course and athletic fields green. The project has become a model for the entire state, D'Antonio said.
Besides conserving soil, the Marines are reclaiming property overtaken by intrusive plant life. By doing so, they have improved the plight of native birds while still being able to conduct rigorous amphibious vehicle and gunnery training. One effort actually requires Marine amphibious assault vehicles to tear up the vegetation.
"Marines have really taken a liking to what they call 'mud ops,'" Dragot said. The tracked vehicles till the vegetation, creating mud beds the stilts required for nesting. "It gives them a change of pace and helps the environment."
Old tires and carpets also make good nests for boobies, the environmentalists found. Local Girl Scouts build the carpet nests, Dragon noted. "As a result," she said, "we've been able to lure some of the birds away from the area where the Marines fire their weapons.
"Building community involvement is the key to success," she said. "Once environmental protection becomes part of the culture, we can manage what we call 'sustainable development.'"

Des Moines Welcomes Thousands Of Bacon Fans
By editor
Originally published on Mon February 20, 2012 4:56 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Four thousand pork lovers descended on Des Moines over the weekend for annual Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival. There were treats like bacon butterscotch cupcakes, bacon-infused donut balls and bacon-wrapped jalapenos. There were health groups protesting at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, but one young festivalgoer told the Des Moines register it's cultural. Only in Iowa will people come together to eat a bunch of bacon-covered bacon. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.
