Upland Chronicles: Sevier County Christmas traditions have changed with the times
Every region, community and family has its own time-honored Christmas traditions. Baking old-fashioned stack cake and chopping down a cedar tree in the woods are memories shared by many older Sevier County residents. There are those still living who can recall the Christmas mornings of their youth when receiving nothing more than a stocking filled with candy and fruit was all they expected as a Christmas gift.
Over the years, public events that were once highly anticipated in Sevier County have passed into history as times and circumstances have changed.
Beginning in 1924, after an oval-shaped garden area was added to the center of the public square and the Sevierville Garden Club provided landscaping, a large Christmas tree was placed there in December each year. The New Central Hotel faced the area that was known by several names including the "round about," "Run-a Round" and "teapot dome." Public gatherings such as carol singings took place there, and benevolent organizations passed out gifts to the needy. Sevierville citizens looked forward to the lighting of the big tree each year. The section was removed in 1948 when the road was widened to four lanes; the Christmas tree tradition ended before World War II.
Another event around Christmastime that drew a large crowd was the Purina Mike and Ike Program, sponsored by Temple Milling Company and Ralston Purina Company.
The well-loved tradition was hosted by the Temple family beginning in 1948. It continued until 1968. The much-anticipated event was held in front of Temple's Milling Company, and the crowd spread across Bruce Street and into the courthouse yard. Mike and Ike were pigs raised on Purina feed and given away in a drawing to lucky recipients who held tickets representing sales and money paid on accounts.
Special recognition was given to the oldest woman in attendance, the oldest man, all above 80 years, and the person with the most children. The event was broadcast live on Sevierville radio station WSEV after 1955, and lucky attendees won live turkeys, Mrs. Temple's home-made coconut cake as well as meal and flour.
Raymond Patterson (1905-1959), a self-taught artist and son of well-known Sevierville photographer Edmond Patterson (1866-1954), availed his services to downtown businesses during the holidays. He painted beautiful Christmas scenes on the storefront windows of various establishments.
Other businesses, such as Robertson Brothers Hardware Store, hosted Christmastime drawing which drew large crowds to downtown Sevierville.
Beginning in the late 1950s, A.J. Lumber Company sponsored continuous recorded Christmas music throughout Christmas day on local radio station WSEV. Edna (1925-1977) and A.J. King Jr. (1920-1978) received so many expressions of gratitude for sponsoring the music, they decided to do something more for their community during the Christmas season.
In 1963, Mr. and Mrs. King purchased what at that time was considered elaborate yard displays from David Hamberger Inc. of New York, to display in their front yard. Driving past the King home in Marshall Woods became a popular Christmastime activity for families in Sevier County.
The animated displays set to music included a hammering elf's workshop, mice sawing slices of cheese, and a lighted children's choir singing Christmas carols.
For almost three decades, the iconic Hamberger displays were prominently placed in the King's front yard. In 1991, Danny King, son of Edna and A.J., moved them to his new home on Maples Branch Road.
"The mice have had their heads and little tails repaired numerous times over the past several years, but they are still going strong," says Danny King. "The King family is proud to have entertained generations of the same families with the displays."
The first Sevierville Christmas parade was held in 1963. Organized by the newly formed Sevierville Chamber of Commerce, the parade has become an honored Christmas tradition. The Sevier County marching band has marched in the parade every year. A band member and senior at Sevier County High School in December 1963, Dolly Parton marched in inaugural parade. Although the parade route has changed to accommodate traffic patterns, it has remained a popular Christmas tradition.
In 1976, Gatlinburg hosted the first Fantasy of Lights Christmas Parade. The spectacular parade has traveled down the main street of Gatlinburg for 38 years drawing crowds estimated at more than 80,000.
For several decades the Sevier County Electric System installed the public Christmas light displays for Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, as a service to the community. However, the three cities in Sevier County joined together in 1990 to produce the first-ever countywide Smoky Mountain Winterfest Celebration. Using the snowflake as the official emblem of Winterfest, each city had snowflake displays.
With each city participating with winter light displays, the main goal of Winterfest was to generate tourism to keep local businesses open and encourage potential visitors to come to the Smoky Mountains year-round.
Today, Winterfest continues to thrive with local businesses crafting light displays and special events to fit in with those of Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. While times have changed, the spirit of Christmas has remained constant in Sevier County. Each generation has its own special Christmas memories.

Phoenix marking Chinese New Year all week long
PHOENIX -- The city of Phoenix is hosting a week-long celebration in honor of the Chinese New Year.
Mayor Greg Stanton spoke from City Hall Monday to open Phoenix Chinese Week. He said it's important for Phoenix to think and act internationally.
"It is equally as important that we build city to city, people to people, teacher to teacher, student to student," he said. "The kind of localized relationships to bring our two countries more closer together."
Phoenix has a great relationship with its Chinese Sister City, Chengdu. It's a Chinese city of about 15 million, Stanton said.
"And we do a lot of cultural exchanges, educational exchanges, fun stuff like that. But we have to make it more of an economic exchange as well. So an event like this just kind of celebrates that relationship, and also reminds people that we truly are an international city."
To close out Phoenix Chinese Week, the city will host a three-day cultural festival that features live dragon and lion dances, martial arts exhibits, folk and traditional dances, musical performances, a Chinese cultural and history booth, and of course, delicious Chinese food.
The festival runs Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m, Saturday from 10 a.m. to p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The 24th annual festival is being held at Margret t. Hance Park, 1202 N. Third St., in Phoenix.

I don't know if it's the ADHD, but I'm having a hard time transitioning back into work mode after only two days off.
by Rebeka Covell
I've been back at work two days so far – but I wish I was still on vacation!
I don't know if it's the ADHD, if it's just me, or if it happens to everyone, but I'm having such a hard time transitioning back into work mode after only two days off. Since I had Friday and Monday off, the vacation felt like four days to me. When I went back to work on Tuesday it felt like I hadn't been there in weeks (it didn't help that people were saying welcome back like I'd gone on a trip around the world).
I sat at my desk, drinking my coffee, staring at my computer – and wishing I was still sitting on the couch in my sweats. I didn't even sleep that late on vacation, but I'm so groggy in the morning I couldn't function for the first half hour of work.
Even today (my second day back) I didn't feel like diving into any big projects; I only wanted to dive under my covers and hit the snooze button one more time. Usually I like to take on projects that will keep me busy for days so it doesn't feel like I'm wasting time. Today I just felt lazy and bored, so I did all the mundane busy-work type things that usually I avoid because it feels like it takes hours to get nothing done – updating schedules, downloading files, spending hours printing floor plans for buildings one page at a time . . .
Where is my motivation? My drive for accomplishment? Why do I want to do boring busy-work that eats away at the short time I have to finish other more important things?
I'm still in vacation mode – but I sure hope I can get myself back into work mode pretty soon!

St. John USVI Places: Cathrineberg
Cathrineberg is located on Johns Head Road just about 100 yards north off Centerline Road. The windmill and surrounding ruins are the property of the National Park and may be visited by the public. The Cathrineberg windmill has been restored and is in excellent condition. Beneath it is an old stone warehouse with arched passageways.
The horsemill, across the road from the windmill has been converted to a cistern that used to serve as a fresh water pond containing attractive aquatic plants, until it was allowed to crumble and decay. The remains of the sugar factory and rum still are near the intersection of Centerline Road and John Head Road.
Either by design or by geographical coincidence, the windmills at Cathrineberg, Susanaberg and Peace Hill are in perfect alignment.
Sensitive Plants
Look for the tiny sensitive plants near the road in front of the windmill. They will react to your touch by closing their leaves.
The 150-acre Cathrineberg plantation was taken up by Judith Ann Delicat in 1718 just after the Danish colonization of St. John. The Delicat family also started up two other plantations that same year, Jochumsdahl A and Jochumsdahl B. Both were 75 acres and adjoined Cathrineberg. These plantations were eventually consolidated into one 300-acre property known variously as Jochumsdahl/Cathrineberg, Cathrineberg or Herman Farm.
By 1721, Cathrineberg was harvesting sugarcane and the following year a sugar factory was completed. In 1797, at the peak of the sugar boom, 107 people lived at Cathrineberg. One hundred fifty acres were devoted to sugar and 150 acres to other crops. There was no unimproved land on the plantation.
Sugar declined as an important crop during the nineteenth century and Cathrineberg discontinued production in 1896. By then, most of the estate was devoted to stock raising. By 1915, Cathrineberg had ceased operations. During the 1940s, an American named Cory Bishop operated a small farm on the estate.

Father's plea for 'carbon neutral' couple rejected
Posted: August 02, 2011|
THE father of a man whose family is fighting to live a carbon neutral lifestyle on land in Willand has been told there are no "exceptional circumstances" to allow them to do so.
Brian Mason wrote to Mid Devon District Council leader Cllr Peter Hare-Scott in support of Stig and Dinah who want to continue living a carbon neutral lifestyle at Muxbeare Orchard.
The couple, aged 34 and 35, received an injunction to leave after transforming what was a neglected four-acre plot into a smallholding boasting chickens and a 400sq m allotment.
Conservative Cllr Peter Hare-Scott, who represents the Newbrook Ward, Crediton, responded to Mr Mason and explained that councils must prove there to be exceptional reasons for them to deviate from planning law.
He said: "Frankly, there are no exceptional circumstances in this case.
"This is just one of at least 20 such cases we receive each year in this area of people buying or renting a small area of open countryside to try to establish a new residence on the land.
"There is no justification in agricultural terms for the creation of a new residence in open countryside. This is borne by the fact that the family cannot earn a sustainable livelihood on four-acres and they need to supplement this through other work and income sources."
Stig and Dinah lost an appeal against the council's refusal to allow them to live and work the land a year ago.
They are now in the process of appealing a rejected planning application to build a "low impact" dwelling made mostly from organic materials on the site.
The couple, who live on the site in a converted horsebox, has regenerated the orchard by planting trees and they live on the fruit and vegetables grown on the site.
Produce is also sold to other residents in the community and Dinah's income from her job as a community care worker provides clothes and other necessities which they cannot grow themselves.
Mr Mason, a highway engineer, responded to the leader and asked "by sustainable livelihood, I assume you mean at a commercial level?" He said they only aim to sustain themselves.
He added: "You may not be aware that my son and his family wish to enter a legally binding contract that states they are not allowed to sell their house that they would build, so that unless they or their descendents are living within the dwelling it would have to be taken down and composted."
Mr Mason believes planning law can be favourable to gypsy travellers in similar circumstances and believes the outcome of the original planning application may have been different had it gone before a committee as opposed to being determined by a council officer.
He also says there is no provision in policy for 'green builds' or 'permaculture' lifestyles and he believes the planning system should show flexibility to individual family needs in light of the Big Society.
Mr Mason also explained the land is surrounded by homes and added: "The other point which amazes me is how the council allows such a monstrosity as the industrial estate which is a stone's throw away from many properties, including my son's."

4 cups
all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon
ground ginger
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon
1 cup
butter, softened
1 1/4 cups
packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon
lemon zest
what temperature does one bake these cookies?
These cookies taste like ginger flavored dog biscuits.
8 Ratings
I cooked these cookies at 375 for about 18 minutes to make them a little more crisper, if you like them chewy 12-15 should do it. They're a nice cookie with tea or milk since they are quite dry and they're milder than a ginger snap if you don't like the strong taste ginger snaps usually have. Kids would enjoy them because they're so mild, its a nice autum cookie.
I baked the cookies at 375 for 10 to 12 minutes. Not great, but good if you want ginger cookies and you don't have molasses
Should baking soda or powder be included in the ingredients?
Important info is missing from this recipe and I added it from another butter cookie recipe. First, there is nothing to make these cookies rise. Second it doesn't say what temperature to bake at.

Implications for Education - Leaflet 1
The Human Rights Act, 1998, brings the European Convention of Human Rights into UK law. All public bodies in the UK, including local authorities, must ensure that legislation, procedures and regulations are compatible with Convention rights.
The intention of introducing the Act is
"to help create a society in which peoples rights and responsibilities are properly balanced and where an awareness of the Convention rights permeates our government and legal systems at all levels.
(Governments Task Force on Human Rights)
- these are not new rights
- they have been recognised for fifty years
- they should be seen in conjunction with other rights and legislation preventing discrimination and unfairness
- the intention is to ensure rights and responsibilities necessary to support a democratic society
- the Human Rights Act, 1998, allows challenges in UK courts and tribunals
The Scotland Act, 1998, which established the Scottish Parliament, incorporated the European Convention of Human Rights.
Absolute rights are those that cannot be infringed.
Limited Rights are those that can, under explicit circumstances identified in the Convention, be limited.
Qualified Rights are rights that can be interfered with if what is done -
- has a legal basis
- is necessary in a democratic society i.e. it fulfils a pressing social need, pursues a legitimate aim and is proportionate to the aims being pursued
- is related to the aim set out in the relevant article
e.g. the prevention of crime, the protection of public order, health or morals
Qualified rights are:-
- the right to respect for private and family life
- rights relating to religion
- the right to freedom of expression
- the right to freedom of assembly and association
- the right to the peaceful enjoyment of property
- the right to education
The Convention allows rights to be interfered with to support a democratic society.
Interference with a Convention Right must not be excessive, arbitrary or unfair, or have too severe an impact on a particular group or individual.
Is someone directly affected. Only a person, or a recognised group, considered a victim can bring proceedings against a public authority. A trade union cannot bring proceedings, unless it is a victim itself. However, it can assist members with advice and representation.
margin of appreciation
Allows domestic courts to decide the merits of a decision, policy or law and the reason for its adoption. This is recognition that member states are better able to evaluate local needs and conditions than the court in Strasbourg. (A state cannot act to reduce an absolute right.)
onus of proof
Is on the person taking the case (the applicant) but where the right is qualified it is up to the authority (respondent) to show the restriction was justified and proportionate.
living instrument
Means the Convention is interpreted in the light of present day conditions.
Article 2 of Protocol 1 - The right to education
"No person shall be denied the right to education. In the exercise of any functions which it assumes in relation to education and to teaching, the State shall respect the right of parents to ensure such education and teaching in conformity with their own religious and philosophical convictions.
This is a qualified right and subject to a reservation which is:-
"The right is compatible with provision of efficient instruction and training and the avoidance of unreasonable public expenditure.
The right to education means access to
- educational institutions existing at a given time
- an effective education
- official recognition of the studies a student has completed
A number of other rights also may apply to education
- Article 3 No person shall be subjected to torture or inhuman treatment or punishment
- Article 5 Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person except in a number of defined circumstances
- Article 6 Everyone is entitled to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal
- Article 8 Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, home and his correspondence
- Article 9 Everyone has the right to freedom of thought conscience or religion
- Article 10 Everyone has the right to freedom of expression
- Article 14 Prohibition of discrimination
Article 3 No person shall be subjected to torture or inhuman treatment or punishment.
Article 5 Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person except in a number of defined circumstances.
This may include
- disciplinary exclusion from school
- other disciplinary measures
- detention as a sanction or disciplinary measure for poor behaviour.
Exclusions for disciplinary reasons will be acceptable if it is part of an overall policy to ensure effective education takes place.
If the behaviour of one or a group of pupils is seriously disruptive and jeopardising the education and safety of other children and/or employees it is permissible to use effective measures to prevent such behaviour and protect the rights of others.
Disciplinary measures must not be inhuman or degrading and must be proportionate.
Detention may create a problem if it is outwith the school day. Over intervals it may be acceptable. There should be safeguards to ensure at all times the safety, welfare and education of the child/young person. Any special circumstances that exist must be considered
e.g. age, home circumstances, religious beliefs, time of the detention.
It is the responsibility of the local authority to take measures to ensure education takes place if a child/young person is excluded.
Article 6 Everyone is entitled to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal.
This may include
- refusal to admit a child to a chosen school.
An education authority may be able to justify this on grounds of expenditure. Care must be taken, however, to ensure no discrimination takes place.
Failure to secure provision for special educational needs: A challenge may become complex if the rights/educational needs of the child, the views of the authority and of the parents conflict.
Disciplinary exclusions: An appeals procedure exists which parents can use.
The HRA does not prevent disciplinary exclusions but it is essential to keep accurate records and ensure procedures are fair and non-discriminatory. A disproportionately high number of exclusions of black/minority ethnic pupils would present a serious challenge.
Article 8 Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, home and his correspondence.
This may include
- collection and recording of information on students in school records, reports, referrals or home visits.
- Interference is acceptable when it is necessary for the protection of health or morals, rights of the child to protection from abuse, or protection of the rights of others.
A guidance teacher within the course of her/his work has access to confidential information or may be required to write confidential reports about the circumstances of a child. There may be grounds for ensuring information is not disclosed e.g. to protect the integrity of the author in the course of his/her work or to protect a child from abuse.
In the event of an appeal in the appropriate fora, if access to information is granted, the reasons for writing something must be soundly based.
Article 9 Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience or religion.
This has to be separated into the right to hold religious beliefs and how people carry out their beliefs. The latter can be restricted to protect the rights and freedoms of others. At present parents can withdraw children from sex education or religious instruction.
Article 2 of Protocol 1 refers to "education in accordance with the religious and philosophical convictions of parents This is qualified. Such convictions must be worthy of respect in a democratic society and not incompatible with human dignity and personal integrity.
Article 10 Everyone has the right to freedom of expression.
This carries with it duties and responsibilities. It can be interfered with to ensure effective education and the rights of others are not diminished. Its application in education may be seen in certain subject areas such as sex education, modern studies, citizenship studies and other areas of the curriculum where expressing opinions may be part of the learning process.
(see above Article 8 regarding confidential reports.)
Challenges may be made using a number of articles e.g.
Bullying and harassment in schools
This may involve Protocol 1, Article 2, the right to education, Article 3, inhuman and degrading treatment and Article 14, prohibition of discrimination. If bullying and harassment is allowed to go unchecked it can be argued that the personal integrity of the child is violated, access to education denied and access to convention rights denied on grounds of e.g. gender, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation.
Special Educational Needs
Some parents wish their children to be educated in mainstream schools while others prefer special educational needs establishments. The Commission has rejected complaints by parents for special schools on the ground that an authority has "a wide measure of discretion as to how to make the best use possible of the resources available to them in the interests of disabled children generally. (Simpson v UK (1989) 64 DR 188 at 195) Challenges to a local authoritys refusal to provide schooling according to the wishes of parents would only succeed if the education was clearly inappropriate for the child or inadequate.
Any claims relating to Human Rights will be against the education provider.
It is important to remember that the European Convention of Human Rights was written in particular circumstances at a particular point in history to protect civil and political rights within a democratic society.
Remember the intention of The Human Rights Act, 1998 is
"to help create a society in which peoples rights and responsibilities are properly balanced and where an awareness of the Convention rights permeates our government and legal systems at all levels.
(Governments Task Force on Human Rights)
Sections 29 and 57 of The Scotland Act, 1998, places the Scottish Executive and the Scottish Parliament under a statutory obligation to comply with the terms of the Convention.

It was a tough three games for the Barrie Colts as goals were hard to come by but they managed to come away with wins against Niagara and Peterborough but were shutout for the second time this season by Jordan Binnington and the Owen Sound Attack.
It was a battle for second place in the OHL on Wednesday night as the Colts traveled down Highway 26 to face their rivals from Owen Sound.
The game marked Jake Dotchin's return to Owen Sound after being traded to Barrie at the trade deadline.
The game started off with a bang as Zach Hall was leveled by Kyle Hope right at centre ice just 34 seconds into the game.
No penalty was assessed on the hit but the hit did appear to be late and contact was made with Hall's head. Hall would leave the game and not return.
Gemel Smith got the home side on the board first just over two minutes in as Smith's shot fluttered in the air before falling in and behind Mathias Niederberger.
The hitting continued when Alex Lepkowski slammed Holden Cook into the boards and was given a minor penalty for a head check.
Steven Janes doubled the Attack's lead just shy of the seven minute mark of the second period with a seeing eye shot that beat Niederberger over the pad on an Attack powerplay.
Late in the period Artus Gavrus was sent head over heels by his former teammate Jake Dotchin. Kurtis MacDermid came in to defend Gavrus but Dotchin was having no part of dropping the gloves with a former teammate.
In the third period, rookies Justin Scott and Stefano Pezzetta squared off for their first career fights. Scott landed several punches as Pezzetta was more just hanging on.
The Colts were desperately trying to solve Jordan Binnington and thought they had when Erik Bradford fed a wide open Steven Beyers but Binnington came up with the highlight reel save, diving back and robbing Beyers of a sure goal.
Cameron Brace added an empty netter as the Attack shutout the Colts for the second time this season with a 3-0 win.
"They're a great team and most guys find it hard playing in their rink." Said Colts Captain Ryan O'Connor, "They've got Binnington in net and he's a hell of a goaltender and we just can't seem to beat him no matter what we tried. We stuck to our systems and had a great game but we just couldn't beat him."
Thursday night saw another return for a new Colt as Mitchell Theoret made his return to Niagara, the place he called home for three and a half seasons.
Mathias Niederberger and Christopher Festarini went save for save in this game as both goaltenders were kept busy.
This game remained deadlocked at 0's until late in the third period as neither goalie could be beaten.
The Colts were unable to clear the puck and Ryan Strome's shot was kicked off the pad of Niederberger right to Steven Shipley who buried the first goal of the game at the 17:43 mark of the third.
The way the game had gone, it seemed Shipley's goal would be the eventual winner and the Colts were destined to be shutout on back to back nights.
However, Barrie controlled the puck deep in Niagara's zone and as Niederberger was skating to the bench, Beyers blasted a point shot through a screen and past Festarini to tie the game at one with 1:11 remaining.
Before the puck was dropped after the goal, former linemates, Theoret and Strome got into a slashing match and both players were sent off.
Luke Mercer was then assessed a high sticking penalty when he clipped Anthony Camara in front of the Niagara goal sending Barrie to the powerplay.
The Colts worked the puck around and finally got a shot off with less than a second remaining and Festarini made his biggest save of the game stopping the Ryan O'Connor one-timer.
In overtime the Colts were trying to set up O'Connor again and it was Beyers that found him as O'Connor blasted home his 15th goal of the season and 10th powerplay goal to finish off an unbelievable finish to a wild game that was dominated by the goaltenders.
"It was huge, we needed that win." Said O'Connor, "it was a tight game, real tight to the end and after they scored that one we battled back and got the other and we rallied together and said we need to finish them in overtime and we got the chance with that powerplay and we buried.
Niederberger made 29 saves in the win 2-1 win while Festarini stopped 31 of 33 Barrie shots in the loss.
The lowly Peterborough Petes came to the Barrie Molson Centre Saturday night and the Colts were looking for some offence after only scoring two goals in their first two games this week.
The first period saw no scoring and there was a rather slow pace to the game with no real scoring chances other than a Cody Brown missed penalty shot.
"Teams like that who are a bit weaker and slower, sometimes we play down to their level and we come out with slow starts but we came back in the intermission and we said we're playing good but we need to play better." Said O'Connor of the period's slow start.
Mitchel Theoret slide hard into the boards while racing for the puck and he needed to be helped off the ice. Theoret went for x-rays and after the game was seen in a walking cast on his right foot and on crutches. The extent of his injury will be found out in the coming days.
The second period livened up when Michael Webster dropped the gloves with Stephen Pierog. The two exchanged blows for the second time this season as Webster tried to spark his team.
A long stretch pass from goaltender Mathias Niederberger hit Zach Hall at the Petes blueline, he tipped the puck over to Anthony Camara who fired a shot past Andrew D'Agostini to open to the scoring with his 26th of the year.
'You always have to work on it, it's so much more important and part of your game here in North America then back home (Germany) and I've been working on it, the coaches help me out in practice and everything so it'd nice when I can make a pass like this that leads to a goal." Sais Niederberger who recorded his first point of the season on the goal.
Minutes later it was Camara and Hall setting up Steven Beyers who blasted a shot right through the mesh to give the Colts a 2-0 lead.
This was the second game in row at the Molson Centre where a puck went right through the mesh.
In the third period Andreas Athanasiou was driven hard into the boards by Brandon Devlin and Josh MacDonald took exception as he dropped the gloves for his first fight of the year. Devlin scored the take down but MacDonald landed several punches.
Anthony Camara scored his second of the game off a beautiful cross ice pass from Justin Scott who had just come out of the penalty box and it was 3-0 Barrie.
Stephen Pierog would beat Niederberger at the 13:49 mark to spoil the shutout bid and put the Petes on the board but that would be as close as they would get as Tyson Fawcett iced it with an empty netter and the Colts cruised to a 4-1 victory.
Barrie swept the season series 4-0 with Peterborough and Niederberger picked up his league leading 26th win of the year as he had 39 saves in the game.
"I always try my best but a big part of our success lately is we're not letting in too many goals against and the team is playing really well defensively and keeping the shots to the outside which makes it easier for me." Said Niederberger
Next up for the Colts (32-14-2): A rematch date with in Owen Sound (30-14-4) on Wednesday night and Mathias Niederberger says the team is prepared for another tough game, "It's small and they play really structured and it seems like we have a little bit of trouble with that but the coaches prepare us like always, perfect for the game and we're going to be ready and up for a big fight."
The Colts finish off the week by traveling to Kingston (20-22-4) on Friday.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, Patrick Crispen teaches the ins and outs of Blackboard 9 so that educators and trainers can get up to speed in the system quickly—even if they've never used Blackboard before. The course explores customizing a course site, managing users, and adding and organizing content, including multimedia. It also shows how to perform student assessments in the Grade Center, as well as how to communicate with students and encourage participation and collaboration.
On a select few Blackboard tabs and sub-tabs, and within your Blackboard 9 courses, you may see modules, little boxes that contain information. Your institution is going to set up a default set of modules, and where they are going to laid out on the page, but you may be able to personalize those modules, where they show up, what color they are, and so forth. To move a module, click and hold your mouse over the module's title bar and drag it to its new location and let go. For example, I want to take My Announcements, I want to move My Announcements to the right-hand column. Click and hold my mouse. Just drag it over.
Again, I'm just clicking on the title bar, moving it where I want to put it. I have the ability to move it anywhere on the page, so long as my institution has enabled this feature. I also have the ability to minimize this module, in other words, not close it but just kind of smush it down so I don't see all the contents. Far right-hand side in the module title I might see a Collapse My Announcements Module button, and that actually minimizes the module. The content is still there; it's just kind of smushed. If I want to see it again, I just click on that button again.
Some modules can be closed, for example My Calendar here. I might decide that I don't want to have that on my My Institution tab. Click on the X in the far right-hand corner of the module title. In this case, it's close My Calendar module. When I click on that it's going to pop up a message saying, you know you're about to remove that. It's going to be deleted. What that means is is it's going to be permanently removed from your tab until you go and add it back. So, yeah sure, there it is. It's gone. Your institution may also give you the option of adding your own modules, so you can customize this page.
The first thing you need to do is make sure you're on the correct tab or sub-tab. In this case I am on My Institution, not the Notifications Dashboard. And then I am going to click on Add Module. Again, your institution may have disabled the feature. That's perfectly fine, but if it's on, click on Add Module. What you are going to do now is choose the modules that you want to add to your page. In this case, I am going to add the calculator. Now, this screen may look a little different than what you'll see on your institution's version of Blackboard, but the concept is still the same.
Find the module that you want to use, or want to add-- in this case, I am going to add the calculator. If you're using an older version of Blackboard, you'll need to click the check box to left of the module and then click on Submit. And then, once you've added the module, you are going to back to the place where you added it. In this case, I am going to go back to My Institution tab. Now remember, we added this calculator to My Institution, not to Notifications Dashboard, and the calculator is right there. If I wanted to move the Calculate over to the right, I could; move the Calculator over to left. I can.
Absolutely there. So that's the good news. You can customize the look and feel of your Blackboard My Institution tab by moving, collapsing, closing, or adding modules, and this works on the Notifications Dashboard, and even on your Course homepage. Now for the bad news: your system administrator may need to reset your modules back to the default layout whenever there is a major system upgrade, or the administrator needs to add a new module in the same place on everyone's screen. Fortunately, if your layout gets reset, it's easy for you to change it back.
You can even change the color scheme, which we'll talk about in the next movie.

We're back from a lush weekend in Sydney. Each time I go there I discover a new area that I'd never seen before and fall in love with the city more than the last time! This time I explored the streets of Surry Hills and Woollahra and found so many gorgeous shops full of stuff. I loved fossicking in Orson and Blake, When David met Nicole and Bird. I just adore being able to walk and walk and discover new places. Have you rated your neighbourhood's walk score? (My house rates 77)
Also in Surry Hills is Cloth. Julie and her designs are such an inspiration for me. Especially 18 months ago when I was thinking of taking my sketches a step further and venturing into textiles. I'm thrilled to now find pippijoe in the new edition of "Handmade in Melbourne". It's been a wonderful and satisfying journey!

MU's Elijah Pittman indicted for battery
HUNTINGTON -- A Marshall University basketball player was indicted on charges of misdemeanor battery last month.
Elijah Pittman, 22, was indicted on one count of battery in connection with an incident in which he became physical with another Marshall student during an altercation last fall.
The indictment was returned by a Cabell County Grand Jury on July 31.
Marshall Athletics issued a statement Tuesday that said, "We were aware of the issue and it is being dealt with internally and appropriately."
In the indictment, Pittman is charged with unlawfully making physical contact with the male student by punching the student during an altercation, causing him to fall to the pavement and become momentarily unconscious.
The incident took place in the 1900 block of Buffington Avenue, at an apartment complex near campus, after midnight on October 10, 2012, said Huntington Police Det. Rob Stinnett, who presented the results of his investigation to the grand jury.
Stinnett said the student was taken to the emergency room at Cabell Huntington Hospital following the incident. The student suffered a broken nose, a concussion and a possible facial fracture during the incident, said Stinnett.
Pittman was not in police custody Tuesday evening, and he will be arraigned in Cabell County Circuit Court Wednesday morning.
The 6-foot-9 Pittman, a Marshall senior forward from Covington, Ky., was the leading scorer on last season's Thundering Herd team and is the lone returning starting player this year.
He averaged 16.1 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.

/usr vs /Developer/usr
What's the difference? I'd like to use the former for a cross-platform application that I develop on OSX and run on Linux. /usr is common to both, /Developer/usr is not. Any harm in using /usr on both?
I'm not 100% sure on this answer but I'll try.
After looking in the /Developer/usr directory, it appears to be only apps/libraries that you might commonly find in /usr but are development related. In other words, /Developer/usr appears to contain only that which is pertinent to development. My advice then would be to stick to /usr. I've never actually seen /Developer on Linux installs as it appears to be specific not only to OS X but Xcode. Again, you might want to wait to get a more definite answer on exactly why Xcode has it's own usr directory.
I've been working with /usr to see how that goes. It works fine but dealing with all the permissions issues can be quite a PITA. I'm going to try and work out a better solution for my situation.
Actually, you've answered the question right there. There is a /Developer/usr because its executables allow you a little more slack as far as what you're allowed to do with them (permissions being one of the major issues). Also, it allows you to test executables easier.

COLUMBIA CITY — "It's a grand night for singing," as the popular Broadway tune says.
A special evening is being planned for elementary school students who might be interested in singing with Whitley Community Children's Choir (WCCC).
Thursday, from 5 to 6:30 p.m., children and parents can visit the choir at Northern Heights Elementary School, north of Columbia City.
Those attending should enter the school through door three.
This is a no-obligation opportunity to participate with the choir, the night is just to "try it and see if there is an interest in joining."
"This is a night of stress-free fun," said WCCC Director Becky Walter. "The director from Fort Wayne Children's Choir will be there to work with the kids, which is a great opportunity."
Afterwards, visitors will be able to share pizza with the current choir members.
"It will be a good chance for people to see that our choir is like a family," Walter said. "We are friends and all very close."
Whitley Community Children's Choir is an ensemble of the Fort Wayne Children's Choir and is in its third year.
Children as young as age eight and as old as 15 can join the choir. Walter said the skill level is varied and all levels of talent are welcomed.

ATHENS, Ga. - Fresh off a 14-0 win over Gardner-Webb, the No. 23/24 University of Georgia softball team steps back in Southeastern Conference action this weekend, March 22-24, when it welcomes the Ole Miss Rebels to Jack Turner Stadium for a three-game series
Friday, March 22
• No. 23/25 Georgia vs. Ole Miss - 6 p.m.
Saturday, March 23
• No. 23/25 Georgia vs. Ole Miss - 4 p.m.
Sunday, March 24
• No. 23/25 Georgia vs. Ole Miss - 2 p.m.
Other Information
• Live stats will be available at www.georgiadogs.com
• Live audio will be available online through GTV and locally on Fox News 1340 WGAU
• Live video will be available online for free through GTV
Series Records
• Georgia leads the all-time series with Ole Miss 35-7, in a series that dates back to 1997, Georgia's inaugural season of softball. Last season, the Bulldogs swept the Rebels in Oxford. Georgia won the first game 8-4 before taking the second game 9-0. The Bulldogs secured the sweep with a 8-0 win in the series finale.
Quick Notes
• Bombs Away: Georgia continued to show its prowess for hitting the long ball in the 14-0 over Gardner-Webb. The team hit five home runs, including three in the first inning. Four of the five round-trippers came with runners on. In the win, Georgia recorded nine extra-base hits.
• Wilkinson Ks 5: Chelsea Wilkinson came in to pitch the final two innings for Georgia in the win over Gardner-Webb. After giving up a leadoff hit in the fourth, Wilkinson settled in to strike out the next three batters. She also struck out two batters in the fifth. In all, she struck out five of the eight batters she faced.
• Clutch: The Bulldogs have saved some of their best hitting when runners are on. Georgia is hitting .378 with runners aboard and .391 when runners are in scoring position. When runners are in scoring position with less than two outs, the average jumps to an impressive .633. Geri Ann Glasco leads the way with a .535 average when at the plate with runners on. She is hitting .483 when runners are in scoring position.
• Over .300: Eight of Georgia's nine everyday starters have a batting average of at least .300. Led by Christine Olney with a .451 average, the team is hitting at a .361 clip this season, good for first in the SEC. Three hitters, Glasco, Paige Wilson, and Olney, are hitting over .400 this season. Anna Swafford is hitting just a shade under .400 at .393.
• On Deck: The Bulldogs conclude their five-game home stand on Wednesday, March 27 when they welcome Georgia Southern to Jack Turner Stadium. Georgia will then travel to Fayetteville, Ark., next weekend for a three-game SEC series.

Drinks r good n strong. My fav dishes r the Peruvian chicken, lomo salteado n chicken in red sauce. Service is fast but they get really busy often...

Flor de Mayo is a great restaurant for food and service, but be warned: In takeout orders, we got shortchanged in our sweet plantains. Thus the 0 for Value. They claimed that the plantains are not in season in the winter. That makes no sense, since they don't give more plantains or give a discount for the measly portions. That's what a good restaurant would do. I'm seriously considering dropping Flor de Mayo from the list of restaurants we patronize. They have great food, but if they continue with their cheapness, they will pay a price.
Posted by jkl on 01/14/2010
OMG, I love this place so much. It's the perfect balance of great food, cozy ambience, super-fast and attentive waiters and all at a cheap price (in Manhattan, this place is a steal for the quantity of mouth-watering food you get!). I get the polla a la brasa and it takes me and my fiance to finish it. I took my uber-Chinese parents, who look down on asian-fusion places, and my parents adored the place (that's saying a LOT, btw... they are incredibly hard to please). I've been here dozens of times and it's consistently good. The chicken is so moist (you can see them slow-roasting for like, hours in the back window) and the sauce adds the right kick and don't get me started on the plantains. I've tried other stuff on their menu and it's all been very tasty. The alcoholic drinks are also delicious, but I find these to be really overpriced. Water for me!
Posted by Anonymous on 01/07/2010
after reading the millions ore reviews about flor de mayo i saw a few that was not good at all and that upsets me. I LOVE the FOOD at FLOR DE MAYO and LOVE is just an understatement. I am i walking talking bill board for them! but like all GREAT restaurants not everything on the menu is amazing(especially with the menu size like this place) Therefore you just have to know what to order! there is a few dishes i SWEAR by and had gotten every single one of my friends hooked on it. If anyone that knows me who is reading this post know they will know who posted this. OK so here we go.. mix seafood cerviche, broiled shrimp with red and white sauce, pasta verde, pollo a la brasa, rib eye steak, and my two top favorites....... squid ink fried rice chinese style and broiled pork chops! also to put some greens in your diet get the black bean string beans or the sautee chinese broccoli. now there are still a few great things there like there black bean sauce or their ropa veija and there is also a few that you can really skip, but i highly recommend the item i deemed my favorites!

Ordered delivery - fast/on time, warm, correct order, tasty and healthy, lady on the phone was informative and helpful. Maybe a tad pricey for portion size.
Posted by Garrett on 10/26/2009
I love the whole chicken they serve here. Dump some of the hot sauce on it and you and you family/friends are set for a meal. the black beans with yellow rice and friend plantains are also some of my favorites. Definitely worth grabbing a bit here or picking up/ordering in if you haven't already
Posted by Zinzy on 07/12/2009
i have been going to and ordering from Flor de Mayo for a number of years and the food is consistently good. It is always busy so you can be assured that the food is fresh. Delivery is fast and food is always hot.

You're too good! Thanks for the love chica! Boyfriends are crazy. I couldn't believe I had to say it.
A great shirt, a nice rack, and a thumbs up. What more could you ask for? This is indeed history, but the first thing I thought of was, why didn't you do that in the first place, Mr. beau? This is your free pass, man! She just asked you to take a picture of her shirt! Make it count!
"You know, these first 10 are kinda blurry. Better take a few more."
CONGRATS and happy birthday, Michael!
Thank you Jaimie!
I would love some WLAS boxer briefs… can we make that happen? I usually blog in my chonies, so it seems appropriate.
Happy Birthday, Michael!!
A woman called Michael, call me old fashioned but I'm confused.
Yup. Woman. Man's name. and I love it. =]
Michael, your boobs are as lovely as you are. And I say that with utmost, non-creepy sincerity.

I was checking out this fest a while back... GREAT lineup, LOTS of QUALITY bands there... and it sounds like a cool venue too. I may try to make it, but I'm not sure yet if I can or not. Anyone else here going?
haha shardzville
So apparently choosing to have your fest in Shartlesville, and including the town in your thread title, is a good way to get your fest some attention here! ;P
Funny thing happened last night. First of all, a little background... Shartlesville is also the location of Roadside America, a huge indoor model train display, and one of my husband's favorite places (he's like a big kid). Also, I had not mentioned anything about this fest to my husband yet, not the name, the location, nothing at all. Well last night I'm here in the office on the Steal Your Fest website reading up on the fest, and my husband wakes up from sleeping on the couch and comes in and tells me he was just having a dream about being at Roadside America and four young people stealing my cell phone. Kind of a twilight zone moment. LOL
Maybe this is a sign that I'm destined to make this fest! But maybe I'm also destined to have my cell phone stolen there. Yeah I know, it's "Steal Your Fest", not "Steal Your Phone"... but still, weirdness... lol...... ;P
Just a heads-up that the $50 presale price ends TODAY. After that, it's $65 at the gate. The ticket includes camping, and kids 12 and under are free with an adult. For those hesitant to buy in advance for outdoor events, let me point out that this place has a big indoor arena which the whole shebang (bands and vendors) could be moved into if needed. Dogs are allowed inside too (I checked). But as of now, the extended forecast is looking pretty good. :)
One of my favorite regional bands, MiZ, is headlining Friday night. And Saturday night the headliner is Flux Capacitor, out of the Philly area... I've seen them a few times and they are off the hook! There are lots of other solid bands on the bill too... I've seen a handful of them before myself, and have heard good things about a lot of the others... good times for sure. :)
For tickets, info, band schedule, etc: http://www.stealyourfest.com/
I will definitely be there, and I may have my bernese mountain dog Iko with me. I will be working MiZ's merch table Fri night, if anyone wants to come say high. ;)
Hey all, it's Steal Your Fest weekend! The $50 presale price was supposed to end last Wednesday as I posted above, however as of right now it appears it's still available......
Tonight is the Thursday prefest party with no camping. Then tomorrow gates open at noon for the weekend, with carside camping included Friday and Saturday nights. (No bands on Sunday.)
Here's the band schedule according to the website:
Thursday August 2nd - Outdoor Main Stage
7:00-8:30 The Barren Wells
8:45-10:15 Steal Your Face
10:30-12:00 Mantis
Friday August 3rd - Outdoor Main Stage

9:15-10:45 Flux Capacitor
Saturday Late Night - Indoor Arena Stage

1:00-2:30 Willie Jack and The Northern Light
Also, since it's not mentioned in the fest description in the original post, I wanted to point out that this place has modern restrooms and hot showers... a big plus, to me at least. :)
Oh, and I think I've decided NOT to bring my bernese mountain dog after all, which I mention just incase anybody would be looking for him to locate me. I can be found at MiZ's merch table Friday night though... I have long brown layered hair and will be wearing a tie-dye t-shirt of some sort... come say high. :)

I have always known that the Bates Outing Club participates in a handful of shenanigans, but this never fully materialized for me until tonight. Being a part of the Bates community means that you receive a hefty stack of announce emails each day, and the Outing Club ones never fail to be quirky meets eccentric. They host a plethora of hiking and ski trips in addition to many into the wild excursions.
Tonight, while writing some notes out for my class, my friend told me that the BOC was hosting "Children of Midnight." Since I usually work midnight and beyond, of course I had to come when I heard that they were releasing flying sky lanterns tonight. It is snowing heavily in Maine today, and all the pathways glisten and sparkle with fresh crystals of snow. The purity of the snow combined with the warm light of the lanterns created such a mystical ambiance that was entirely beautiful. Batesies trekked up (I mean, trekked up) Mt. David to release the sky lanterns. While walking up, I slipped on some ice, causing my friend Laura to fall and the domino effect ensued. Nevertheless, it was a worthwhile walk up and despite the cold, everyone had a great time!
Here are some photos! I have always thought of flying sky lanterns as the perfect way to end a wedding reception, but they are also fun to just let go on any night!

Eudora Revisited on Mozilla-Basis
The commercial version of the Eudora mail client was retired in October 2006. Now, a beta version of the new revitalized Eudora has just been released.
The developers have been working on migrating the mail program to Mozilla underpinnings for about a year. Version 8.01 is the first working beta, although it is currently available for Windows and Mac OSX only.
According to the developers the current beta is not stable enough to replace the last commercial version; however, they do expect to have the first fully functional version up and running by early 2008. Eudora is not aiming to compete with Thunderbird but to give users more freedom of choice. According to the readme this is a branded version of the popular mail client with additional features. The Penelope project is the umbrella for a Thunderbird and Eudora extension.
Vendor Qualcom announced in October 2006 that it was discontinuing development of the mail client, but to avoid ditching the project entirely, program development has continued on the basis of Mozilla Thunderbird code. Qualcomm has not only given the brand name to the community, but has also assigned developers from its own ranks to work on the Open Source variant. The project is licensed under multiple licenses including the GNU General Public License (GPL) and Lesser GNU General Public License (LGPL), and under the Mozilla Public License (MPL).
