When I first started working at the Johnson City Press in 1986, things were quite different in the communication business.
Someone could write an article in a newspaper on this end of the state, and it may never be seen or heard about in Knoxville — let alone Nashville or the far end of the state.
Often times, I would fire what amounted to short-range soapbox missives in the general direction of the TSSAA offices in Hermitage (not intending to hit Andrew Jackson) whenever it seemed the organization was giving Northeast Tennessee the ho-hum shoulder. Some of those words would perhaps land harmlessly on the plateau, but occasionally someone in the mid-state area would make a comment about something written in the Johnson City Press.
These days, folks in Memphis can read stuff before the ink dries on the Kingsport printing press. And vice-versa, Memphis papers are only a point-and-click away — well, if you have a subscription anyway.
Certainly the state has become connected in a different way than even 20 years ago. People in the far west (Dyersburg, not Sacramento) can easily keep up with the far east (Bristol, not China).
Someone scoring five touchdowns in a game is just a tweet away from being heard around the state. Of course, not-so-good news travels fast, too, like Science Hill's mock disaster drill for athletics last week.
The main thing is it should bring us closer together as supporters of high school athletics. It's something we have in common. We can marvel about the 18-strikeout performance of a kid in Columbia just the same as a 350-yard rushing effort by a player in Union City, or a 45-point explosion by a basketball player in Chattanooga.
Four years may seem like a long time, but high school sports careers go by in the blink of an eye. Let's pay attention to what our kids are doing during the 2014-15 school year. Find a way to get to a game — but if you can't, there's a entire state full of players working hard and doing special things. Find a way to acknowledge them.
You have the power at your fingertips.

They might be an ancient superfood, but chia seeds are having a moment. High in protein, fiber, calcium, antioxidants, and omega-3s, the little seeds have a lot of qualities to love. Just one ounce (about two tablespoons) provides 11 grams of fiber, four grams of protein, and five grams of omega-3 fatty acids. If you're not sure how to get chia into your diet, here are some healthy and creative ideas.

Antioxidant Smoothie
If you find chia's crunchy texture a little off-putting on its own, try tossing them into this refreshing, fiber-filled morning smoothie [6]. After soaking up the liquid, the chia seeds take on a more gel-like texture.

Coconut Chia Pudding
Chia seeds and coconut milk marry for a Paleo-friendly make-ahead pudding [7] that works great for breakfast. Mix together the ingredients the night before, pop it in the fridge, and look forward to a special treat the next day. It's that easy.

As of Friday, February 22, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
There are great questions which perplex the human mind and stand as the great queries of the universe.
What is the meaning of life?
What comes after death?
Paper or plastic?
They all live in a pantheon of great questions, right next door to a pantheon of kinda great, but not as good questions.
These are questions you should pity because, while they are important in a certain moment, it's all sorta "Who Cares?" in the long run. "Who Cares?" of course lives in the great questions pantheon because it has many pseudonyms involving a rat's this or a flying that.
However, you will not find "Should I choose a window seat or an aisle seat?" in this same pantheon. It's one of those questions living next door, sharing a bunk with "Would you like fries with that?"
But, for the time you spend on an airplane traveling to some exotic destination like Des Moines, Iowa, it is the most important question you will face.
The second most important question you will face is when the flight attendant comes by with the dinner cart and asks, "Chicken or pasta?"
But, if you are flying to Europe for example, where you sit is extremely important.
It's the difference between putting the pillow against the inside wall of the fuselage and having a semi-comfortable rest, or just passing out with your head leaned out over the aisle with your mouth wide open and drool falling all over the place.
This weary traveler personally prefers the window seat either in front of the wing, or behind it.
There are many advantages to the window seat. Among them are the following:
• You get to see the landscapes as you begin your long descent to your destination. I got to see all of southern England, and the city of London itself, as I flew to the UK last summer for the Olympics. In 2010, I got to see the Mediterranean coastline of Italy as I flew into Rome.
• You have the aforementioned option to close the blind on the window and use it as something to rest your head against while you sleep.
There is one con to sitting by the window. If you have to use the bathroom, you have to climb over someone else to get to the aisle.
And, there are advantages of sitting on the aisle. They include:
• Not having to climb over anyone else to get to the bathroom.
• The flight attendant gets to you first when she or he brings the drink and dinner carts around.
There is the disadvantage, however, that the only sites you're probably going to see are other people on the plane figuratively cutting logs with their noses as they snore in their sleep.
If you're really unlucky, you'll end up on a plane that has three rows of seats, and you'll end up in the middle seat of the middle section. Everyone around you will be invading your space and some nosy old person will be asking you questions.
Or worse yet, you'll have the experience I once had to the misfortune of living through — you'll sit through a nine-hour flight in the middle section, sitting next some college kid rambling on and on about how he thought Europe was better than America.
I eventually wanted to punch him in the mouth, not because of what he was saying, but because he wouldn't shut up.
And, that was because I played nice guy and gave up the seat I pre-picked and paid for (a window seat). Actually, I agreed to switch seats with a guy who wanted to sit next to his girlfriend.
Gee, if they wanted to sit together, maybe they should have pre-planned, and picked seats that were actually next to each other, rather than waiting until everyone was settled before asking if someone would switch seats.
Anyway, just keep all of that in the back of your mind the next time you pick where you want to fly somewhere and can't figure out which seat you want.

Another near miss in weekend series
This past weekend was another near miss for me on the Bassmasters Weekend Series trail on Kerr Lake. I finished in seventh place and the top-six earned a check.
I culled several times while landing fish on a combination of top water lures (bone zara spook), crankbaits (No. 6 bass fat free shad), and Carolina-rigged green pumpkin trick worms.
My co-angler, Mike Jessup of King, finished in fourth place and was less than a pound from first. I told Mike that my co-anglers usually do well in these tournaments. One more good fish for either of us could have put us in the winner's seat.
Sunday I competed in Brandon Gray's tournament on Kerr with Northern Vance student Joseph Sharpe. Joseph lives at Kerr Lake and loves to fish. He caught our largest fish of the day swimming a white jig and was a very good fisherman, especially for a 16-year-old. If only I'd stayed focused on fishing like he is when I was 16.
This upcoming weekend I'm fishing on Kerr Lake but not in any tournaments. Saturday, we are having the Frazier family reunion or I would be entered in the Boys and Girls Club event, but I do plan to be at the weigh-in.
Kerr Lake fishing report – Bass are moving into a post spawn feeding mode and can be landed using a number of techniques. Shad were spawning in the bushes providing a good early morning top-water bite on a Pop'R worked around buck brush and willows.
Upcoming area tournaments – Next weekend I'm fishing in a BFL tournament on Badin Lake. The following weekend (June 15-16) there's an ABA Couples event on Kerr Saturday and Brandon Gray's fourth tournament of the year on Sunday.
Next week's report – Results from the Boys and Girls tournament from Kerr Lake and Frazier family reunion update. My cousin Karen Denise Walker from Vermont is coming to stay with us and we should catch some nice fish on Kerr Lake.
Tip of the week — Don't forget to keep an assortment of treble hooks with you so you can replace the ones on your crankbaits if needed. Often the hooks dull from hitting the bottom or rocks and a quick change will often prevent a lost fish. See Ronnie Currin at Vanco Marine and pick up some No. 6s, 4s and 2s to cover most bait sizes.

tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch dice

red onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 cups
chopped fresh cilantro
jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon
ground black pepper
1 tablespoon
minced garlic
2 tablespoons
lime juice
1/2 cup
distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup
vegetable oil
This is a great base for pico de gallo, however I have to agree with the other reviewers in that I would never add the black pepper, white vinegar or veg. oil. It's just not necessary. I would also add the cilantro to taste along with a bit of cumin. This is supposed to be a very simple side dish. I let it rest for a few hours to the flavors blend together.
This could be a 5 star if the amount of oil was decreased by about half, as it was way too greasy for my taste. I also followed the other reviewer's advice and added red wine vinegar, which was a good idea, thank you. Overall, it is a good recipe and I will try it again with less oil.
58 Ratings
This is almost identical to my husband's recipe! The only thing he does differently is to add a little cumin and use red wine vinegar. It's super fresh tasting, and a great addition to any Mexican foods. We've even topped baked tilapia with it.
Oil? Vinegar? Black pepper? Why would anyone put that in Pico de Gallo or any other salsa? Otherwise fine.
Sorry Chef, but as I was in the midst of making this and gave it a taste I realized the lime juice provided enough acid and there was no way I could add either the vinegar or the oil. I also had to cut back on the cilantro and only salted to taste. It was perfect.
Nice and fresh tasting... I used red wine vinegar instead of white, less oil and cilantro, and a touch of cumin. Easy to play around with the amounts of ingredients to suit your taste. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
This was very good and tasted like the Pico de Gallo we had in Mexico. I halved the recipe so I wouldn't have a "ton". I used red wine vinegar as others had suggested. My husband's only request is that next time I put in less cilantro (he is not a huge fan of cilantro). Update.... I have made this many times now and it always gets great reviews! I have given out the recipe a number of times. I usually try and let it sit overnight and I drain out the extra liquid right before serving! I love this recipe!!!
OMG! This is GREAT! Add a little cumin to it and be the winner. I up'd to 5 jalepenos. From TX so know about heat!

RSPCA under fire for leaving body of shot foal within sight of playground
Posted: January 20, 2014|
The RSPCA has been criticised by MPs for shooting dead a sick foal which was "left to rot" – next to a children's play area.
The bay gelding was put down at the field by animal welfare officials who deemed it too ill to survive.
Residents were stunned to find the dead animal with a note next to it from the RSPCA demanding the owner move the remains.
A second foal, left alive with the dead body, was said to be in a state of "distress" following the incident on January 8.
The foal was shot on a patch of rough grazing land at Severn Beach, near Bristol, not far from a play park.
Labour MP Jim Fitzpatrick, of the Associate Parliamentary Group for Animal Welfare, questioned why the RSPCA abandoned the dead foal and its companion. He said: "It all sounds deeply unsettling. It certainly doesn't sound like good practice."
Local resident Katie Merrett added: "It was very distressing for local children, leaving the body where they could see it from their play area."
Resident Becky Ashdown added: "It was so sad to see that dead foal in the field, just lying out in the open with blood all around its head. The other one was left in the field with the carcass, and I think that it was quite distressed."
Local Margaret Hiles said the body had been left there for over a week.
She said: "The young horse was pot belied, which was as a result of worms, I was told. He also had a low body weight index.
"When I visited the field the day before he was dispatched, I found him collapsed on the ground shivering, very cold, and he couldn't get up without the assistance of three people. The assessment at the time was that he was not deemed poorly enough to be removed."
It is thought the animals were dumped on the land in an example of "fly grazing".
The RSPCA has defended its actions, saying the horse, which was unable to stand, had been put down on veterinary advice as a matter of animal welfare. A spokesman said both it and the surviving foal had now been removed, and the cost had been met by the owner, whom the charity had managed to trace.

The popular Google Sightseeing blog which points you to cool satellite views within Google Maps has now announced that it will integrate with Google Earth as well:
Every post now has a 'Google Earth' link as well as a 'Map' link. Clicking on the Google Earth link will zoom your copy of Google Earth to any of the sights listed in that post.
They've also announced a "network link" feature, complete with instructions, which allows you to integrate ALL Google Sightseeing "sights" directly into Google Earth, allowing you to browse their content from within the Google Earth application instead of using the blog as the interface.

A recent study by scientists at Queen Mary, University of London has found that cockroaches are social beings who "talk" to one another about food and prefer to dine in groups. When presented with two identical slices of bread, the roaches repeatedly gathered around the same slice, rather than splitting up.
In an earlier study, researchers used computer simulations to show that, even with their tiny brains, insects have enough neural circuits to possess consciousness, and they may even be able to count. According to professor Lars Chittka, one of the researchers, "Animals with bigger brains are not necessarily more intelligent."
If you're not ready to roll out the welcome mat, though, here are a few simple steps to help you keep unwanted bugs at bay:
- Don't provide roaches with food. Wash dishes promptly, store food in tightly sealed containers, and keep trash in bins with tight-fitting lids.
- Remove roaches' hiding places. Keep compost heaps as far from your house as possible, always wash out food containers before storing them for recycling, and don't let old newspapers pile up.
- Prevent roaches from entering your home by sealing up holes and cracks. Baby roaches can squeeze into a space as thin as a dime.
- If you do see roaches, scatter whole bay leaves or catnip throughout your house. Iowa State University scientists found that catnip is 100 times more effective than DEET at repelling roaches.

WILMINGTON, NC (HAMMERHEADS) — Orlando City Soccer Club was dubbed the 2014 USL PRO Regular Season Champions following Wednesday night's scoreless draw versus Wilmington Hammerheads FC at Legion Stadium. The Hammerheads are still in pursuit of clinching a spot in the playoffs as they approach their final two matches of the regular season in the upcoming weekend; needing only one point in the league standings to claim one of the three remaining slots.

The stakes were high for Orlando and Wilmington entering Wednesday's match. Orlando needed a victory or a draw to claim the regular season title for the third time and Wilmington was in search of a victory to clinch a definite spot in the playoffs. Hammerheads forward Cody Arnoux was quick out of the gate in the first half with a near goal in the 12 minute, but was denied by goalkeeper Carl Woszczynski on a diving save. Adama Mbengue followed soon after for the Lions with a hard shot on Brad Stuver, saving it by the fingertips.
Arnoux and Mark-Anthony Kaye worked an attempt near the end of the first half off a cross, however Kaye could not find the right angle on the header towards the net. Mbengue was pushing hard for the Lions to increase the score, tallying four shots overall on Stuver, but none of which found the back of the goal.
Kaye was back on his feet into the second half, placing a short pass into the box looking for an opportunity from teammate to run onto. Samuel Ochoa took a breakaway down the sideline looking to reenact his goal against the Lions last week and going one-on-one with Woszczynski, but was shut down by Orlando defense as he entered into the penalty area.
Wilmington nearly put a point on the board off a Corben Bone free kick that crossed through the penalty area and soared just wide of the far post in the 89th minute. Orlando was close to claiming a victory in stoppage time, but Stuver proved his presence by pushing the ball on a dive towards the sideline.
The Hammerheads are scheduled to finish their 2014 USL PRO regular season on the road against the Dayton Dutch Lions at DOC Stadium on Friday, September 5 and versus the Rochester Rhinos on Sunday, September 6 at Sahlen's Stadium. The Hammerheads will be hosting a watch party on Friday at Buffalo Wild Wings on Old Eastwood Road in Wilmington to watch the team in Dayton. Sunday's watch party location has yet to be announced.

BKL 1-Pc Adjustable Scope Mount, 1" Rings, 3/8"...
4.0(4 reviews)
From: BKL
1-year limited warranty
Average Customer Review4.0 (6 reviews)
Create an online reviewand share your thoughts with other customers
Things I liked:Nothing special to comment on here.
Things I would have changed:will not fit the centerpoint 4-16x40 illuminated scope. Not so much due to the 40mm ocular lense but because the center portion interferes with the buldge in the scope where the turrets and illumination dial are located. Also the mount does not come with the sticky pads as shown in the pictures. The rings themselves are smooth allowing fore scope creep. Not good.
Things I liked:This mount and scope were recommended by a Pyramid Air staff member. I have learned that it is best to do one's own research. This mount is too long and does not fit the Browning 800 Express I bought it for. The base of the mount is about 1/4" too long for the dovetail on the gun. To make things worse the (2) hex wrenches included in the kit are both too small and do not fit the mounting screws. Although it looks like decent quality for the money what good is it if you can't use it.
Things I would have changed:Make sure the hex wrenches work with the screws provided before packing. That is not Pyramid Air's fault but after all the product is made in China. Customer/tech support should be better informed with product compatibility before making recommendations and wasting customer's money and trust.
What others should know:This mount will not work with a Browning 800 Express. It is too long to fit the gun's grooves. You will not be able to use the mounting hex wrenches provided, they are too small. I'm guessing they are also poor quality (why include 2 if you don't expect them to break.)
Things I liked:very sturdy, good overall quality!!!
Things I would have changed:this mount is about 1mm from being able to fit the "CenterPoint Optics 3-9x40 Adventure Class Rifle Scope"

Okay, many of you who have seen the videos or have ridden Everest have been wondering why there is a bird at the top of the mountain when the train makes its first stop at the sight of the mangled track. I think it's high time I explained all this.
First we'll explain that when you stop there, there are foot prints in the snow from the Yeti. (Just look to your left when you ride) It's obvious that the Yeti was there. And if that wasn't bad enough, you see this vulture flying above. Yes, it's a Lammergeier Vulture. (Gypaetus barbatus) The largest Eurasian bird of prey. Its beak and tongue are adapted to consuming bone marrow, which it obtains by hurling the bones of its prey against high mountain cliffs. For more information, visit http://www.pbs.org/edens/bhutan/a_lv.htm
So why a vulture you ask? Well, vultures are known commonly as a bad omen so to speak. That certain doom will become of you. Sure enough, the train begins to lose traction on the icy slopes of the mountain and you begin sliding backwards through the dark caverns. This part of the attraction is designed to dis-orient you, so much as to trick you that you are going upside down. Anyway, that's why it's a vulture. And not something else.
So, how are guests supposed to know it's a vulture? Well, there's a sign in the line queue... the Yeti Museum in particular. I took a photo of it and attached it to this post.
Also, any CM that has seen the main computer will be able to tell you that it's labeled as "vulture" in the ride's computer system. So there you have it. The mystery is solved. Enjoy the photos attached of the Lammergeier Vulture and the sign in the Yeti Museum.
I've decided to name him Kenny.

homicide, suicide, or accident occurred and will certify the cause and manner of death.
Crime scene evidence moves through a chain of custody in which, depending on their physical characteristics (e.g., blood, fiber, handwriting), samples are analyzed according to any of a number of analytical protocols, and results are reported to law enforcement and court officials. When evidence is analyzed, typically forensic science "attempts to uncover the actions or happenings of an event … by way of (1) identification (categorization), (2) individualization, (3) association, and (4) reconstruction."1 Evidence also is analyzed for the purpose of excluding individuals or sources.
Not all forensic services are performed in traditional crime laboratories by trained forensic scientists. Some forensic tests might be conducted by a sworn law enforcement officer with no scientific training or credentials, other than experience. In smaller jurisdictions, members of the local police or sheriff's department might conduct the analyses of evidence, such as latent print examinations and footwear comparisons. In the United States, if evidence is sent to a crime laboratory, that facility might be publicly or privately operated, although private laboratories typically do not visit crime scenes to collect evidence or serve as the first recipient of physical evidence. Public crime laboratories are organized at the city, county, state, or federal level. A law enforcement agency that does not operate its own crime laboratory typically has access to a higher-level laboratory (e.g., at the state or county level) or a private laboratory for analysis of evidence.
According to a 2005 census by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS),2 389 publicly funded forensic crime laboratories were operating in the United States in 2005: These included 210 state or regional laboratories, 84 county laboratories, 62 municipal laboratories, and 33 federal laboratories, and they received evidence from nearly 2.7 million criminal cases3 in 2005. These laboratories are staffed by individuals with a wide range of training and expertise, from scientists with Ph.D.s to technicians who have been trained largely on the job. No data are available on the size and depth of the private forensic laboratories, except for private DNA laboratories.
In general, a traditional crime laboratory has been defined as constituting "a single laboratory or system comprised of scientists analyzing evidence

Ibid., p. 9. "A 'case' is defined as evidence submitted from a single criminal investigation. A case may include multiple 'requests' for forensic services. For example, one case may include a request for biology screening and a request for latent prints."

Damian's on the River, New Boston, NH
Looked forward to trying this place and was dissappointed. Based on the review I read, I was expecting somewhat gourmet quality food and service. The Pumpkin Ravioli appetizer was good. Field greens salad was boring and tasteless. Stuffed Pork Chop was just OK and uninspired. Prime Rib was also nothing special, just average. Carrot Cake dessert was excellent, very moist and delicious. The Chocolate Ganache Tort was not good, very dry.
The service was not good. The timing was poor, many long time spans between dishes. There was also confusion, wrong appetizers brought to table, dessert order taken twice by different waitresses, just not very attentive. It is also not clear what role the Chef plays in the meals leaving the kitchen. He was outside the kitchen mainly chatting with guests for the 2 hours that I was there. He and his wife seem very nice, but I think he should be more in focused on his kitchen and waitstaff.
Overall, an overpriced dissapointed. Will not be back.
That is strange because it is the exact opposite of the experience I had. New Boston area needs a place like Damian's to save it from the lull it has now.
I agree with the poor review! And actually would rate Damian's worse. The apps were good. But I don't think the bar tender new the recipie for Capt Morgan and Coke. 3 in our party ordered that and each one of us got Coke with lime. LOL
The other three's entrees were mediocre.Mine was completely awful. I had the Chicken Saltimbocca, which is a fav of mine. What I was servered was what I can only describe as "pre-prepared" Chicken Cordon Bleu. And as for that, I"ve had better at cheap weddings!
For dessert we shared Lemon Meringue Pie and Carrot Cake. The meringue as not fully cooked so was just runny goo, the pie crust was thick and underbaked. The carrot case was just disgusting, that is all I can say about it. 4 Adults left most of these 2 dessert on the table to be chucked. Actually the best thing one could do with them.
I Also agree service was lousy. Waitress never came to ask how any of our food was. (I wanted to make sure that I had really been served saltimbocca) As she cleared our plates she asked how everthing was. I expressed my disappointment.. if she shared that with the managment, they never came by our table to ask on this.
I would never return, nor would I recommend Damian's.
If you are looking for great food, in a bit-more-than-casual environment. I give my highest thumbs up to the Cotton in Manchester! We've been several times and have never been even the tiniest bit disappointed! We tried Damians as something new.
re: granola911
Not that it excuses anything, but Captain and Coke usually comes with a lime, it's called a Cuba Libre. Most barenders ask when you order a Cap'nCoke if you would like a lime, I guess this one was just pretentious.
re: purchaser1
actually, a cuba Libre has the juice of half a lime squeezed into a mix of light rum and coke, not spiced rum and coke.
re: purchaser1
We were fine with the coke, we were fine with the lime... it was the absence of the Captains that disappointed us! LOL
re: granola911
That is horrid! Either the waitstaff sent the bar a wrong slip, or the bartender is not professional. I am a bartender, and I have worked with some young people who I shake my head at. I once worked with this one girl who put an OLIVE .... in an appletini! I was horrified! I asked her why she did that... and she said "oh don't all martinis get olives?
:::::shakes head:::::
re: granola911
Damians has gone right down hill. I tried it and I loved it, then I went back and thought I was entering the twilight zone. It was like a total change from first experience. I hope they work the kinks out soon, and this is not a Omen of things to come (Yes, that was an intentional pun)
I couldn't disagree more. I have had dinner at Damian's twice now (within the past 2 weeks) - once on an unexpectedly (very) busy Saturday night, and again on a quiet Wednesday evening. Both times, the food was exceptional - there is no place in the area that even comes close; and it has the potential of elevating itself to the likes of Michael Timothy's in Nashua or 55 Degrees in Concord.
The chicken tamale steamed in banana leaf was so good the first time I had it, I ordered it again on our return visit, and again was pleased with the preparation (although the 'special sauce' referred to on the menu is really a red cabbage slaw, it goes very well with the tamale). The panko crusted calamari is also excellent - extremely tender. The potato crusted cod was cooked perfectly, though the bed of black lentils that it was served on was on the salty side - I think due to a salty ham infused broth that it was cooked in. Crab stuffed rockfish (a Saturday night special) was fresh, moist, and succulent. The Wiener Schnitzel was also extremely tender and well prepared, perfectly battered scalopini; a little bland/light on seasoning, given that it did not include the usual anchovy and caper garnish, but still very good none the less. The seared duck breast was superb - tender (I'm using that adjective frequently, but so often with these ingredients - veal, squid, duck - that is not the case), flavorful (with a beautiful, slightly charred crust), and a perfect medium rare. Creme brule is some of the best I've had.
There are some improvements that could (and hopefully will) be made as the restaurant becomes more established. In a restaurant of this caliber, wine should certainly be opened at the table; not already uncorked when it arrives. Service can be a little dicey (but as I said, they were busier than expected - so that is understandable). It would also be nice if Chef Martineau circulated through the restaurant and checked with his guests on occassion (especially on slow nights) - that can be a nice touch when a new restaurant is trying to get established. All minor complaints however. We're looking forward to returing again... and again.
I read the mixed reviews after making reservations for Easter and was nervous to take family to Damian's; however I can say we were all glad we went.
Cream of Asparagus soup was excellent - the best I have had. Veal Oscar was very good with very sweet crab. The other dinners: lamb with toasted barley- melt in your mouth and very flavorful. Scallops were also excellent.
Save room for dessert - creme brule was very thin but good. The large piece of tiramisu was very good and enough for two.
It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed our window seat over looking the river.
We all agreed we will be back.
Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive. We saw the chef when we arrive but he didn't chat as the restaurant was very busy
re: CNdM
I had the glorious pleasure of dining at Damian's last night. For those looking for a genuine chef owned and operated restaurant experience, Damian's is the place! Here's my review (in my most humble opinion, and warning, it's a long one because I was really moved by my experience there):
1. Location: it isn't right down the street. I like getting out of town now and then for a meal, it makes it more special. The view from the windows? Spectacular. Bordering on ridiculous was when 3 deer began to frolic in the water during my meal. And this was right after a blue heron spent some time on the water. I was beginning to wonder if the management has an animal keeper on staff to release wildlife at opportune times...
2. Experience: our server, Stephanie, was a pro. We thought she was one of the chefs based on her knowledge of the menu, the exec. chef, and food facts. She informed us she was 'just a waitress'. Hardly! She kept a respectable distance from us, being helpful and knowledgeable but easily accessible.
3. The food: Incredible. The bread was served warm and fresh. My friend and I split the calamari. It was really good, tender, not chewy and greasy, and was served with a slight amount of garnish - not a vat of sauce on the side. For dinner I went comfort food route and had chicken parmigiana (I like simple classics) and my friend had the salmon with the risotto cake. She picked the spinach and the au gratin potato as her sides. My dinner was awesome. Not oversauced or overcheesed. The pasta was beautifully al dente. The chicken was crispy but not dry. The sauce was spectacular with lots of depth. The portion was generous but not ridiculous. According to my friend her meal was excellent - the fish was cooked to perfection, the potatoes creamy and cheesy but not a mess of dairy. For dessert? Their carrot cake is a religious experience. If you value a good carrot cake, do yourself a favor and go to Damian's. You can taste the cream cheese in the frosting, and the cake is so moist it is almost creamy!
I think it is important for people to know that this is not the place to go if you're looking for a quick meal. I wouldn't go there with my entire family, but maybe just adults and young people old enough to sit still for a while. The food is made to order and fresh, and therefore it takes some time for the kitchen to bring it out.
Please go. It's really good. It's chef owned and operated. In the summer it's light out until nearly 9:30 so you'll really get a nice view. If you have the good fortune of meeting Damian, be prepared to be charmed. Ask him about the day he bought the property. It's a GREAT story.
We had a wonderful experience at Damian's last night. It was our second anniversary and we were looking for a place for dinner. My husband cut out gluten last year, and we have found that many restaurants are not very knowledgeable in regards to gluten and are sloppy in their cross contamination, resulting in a sick husband later in the evening. I called ahead of time and spoke to Damian, who assured me that everything was made from scratch and they were very familiar gluten free diets. When we arrived, they walked through the menu with us and checked that every ingredient was gluten free (he was able to eat about 80% of the menu). My husband was especially excited that he was able to eat the Mushroom Bisque thickened only with cream, not flour. The soups were amazing (I had a Roasted Pumpkin soup). My entrée was the Roasted Duck with peppercorn sauce that was cooked to perfection. My husband had a Monk Fish with crab butter sauce and was very impressed. We split the gluten free spice cake for dessert (Damian tries to always have one gluten free dessert) – it was moist and flavorful which is a challenge with gluten free cakes. We spoke to Damian and his wife after dinner; very lovely people. Our server, Stephanie, was great and everything came out in a very timely manner. My only negative comment was that the lights were a little bright for a such a nice place, but our experience overall was wonderful. And my husband did not get sick!
We will definitely go back!

Great report! New Hampshire magazine lists Damian's as one of NH's "hottest" restaurants in this month's issue.

During the Harnell era all the TARDIS doors in the interior shots are all on the left, there wasn't enough stage for them change it for one thing. I don't any exits from the TARDIS being on the right even on the new series. They've never had a 360 Degree TARDIS set so the door is either on the left or in the center.

It is quite a challenge for the jazz lover to keep track of Ken Vandermark. Every few months he releases new material, with new bands, with new names, on different labels ... The good news is that whatever he does, he keeps treating us to some great music, ... for those who are not afraid of some powerful blowing.
(((Powerhouse Sound))) Oslo/Chicago : (((Breaks))) (Atavistic, 2007)***
The first album in this row has a rather special concept. The first part is recorded in Oslo, Norway, with Ingebrigt Haker Flaten and Nate McBride on electric bass, Lasse Marhaug on electronics, Paal Nilssen-Love on drums and of course Vandermark on tenor sax. The second part, re-edited with added musicians Jeff Parker on guitar and John Herndon on drums brings the same music.
This music is actually led by the basses and the drums, and is at times rhythmically superb. Vandermark keeps at his usual powerplay, and that's what he's best at, with short powerful balsts, funky and rhythmic. The new element here is that the electronic coloring gives the music a totally different dimension, at times disturbing and interrupting, at times enriching. Vandermark himself describes it as follows : "The three major influences I considered when putting the music together were the rhythmic ideas of James Brown, the dub ideas of Lee Perry and the collage ideas of Public Enemy."
Territory Band - New Horse For The White House (Okkadisk, 2006) **
Territory Band is a different ball game. This 12-strong ensemble blows the roof off your house on this triple CD. The music is complex, varied, risky, with top musicians, only ... it is not really my thing. I have no problem with chaos, yet this album is at moments hard to keep listening to : too much is going on at the same time, there isn't enough recognisable structure (I never thought I would put this ever on paper!), ... maybe I should just listen to it a couple of more times to really learn to apprecitate it, but it will take effort. For the courageous.
Lane/Vandermark/Broo/Love - 4 Corners (Cleanfeed, 2007) ****
This album brings us back to more familiar territory : the quartet à la Ornette Coleman with Vandermark on sax, Magnus Broo on trumpet , Adam Lane on bass and Paal Nilssen-Love on drums. All of them are fantastic musicians, yet Adam Lane is my favorite here (check out the CD's he released in the past years). And the result of these gentlemen's combined effort is excellent. The first piece "Alfama" immediately offers all the variation you might expect from such a band : strong pulsing rhythms with unisono sax and trumpet, coming to a sudden halt for a long unaccompanied bluesy trumpet solo, that is first supported by some subtle drums which forces the energy back into the piece, into higher and more intense spheres, picked up by a hard-bopping sax solo like runners in a 4 x 100 relay race. The second piece "Spin With the EARth" starts with an African theme and melody, reminiscent of Don Cherry, that is deconstructed into shreds of solo and it gets gradually built up again rhythmically. On "Lucia" Vandermark steals the show with his fiery bass clarinet soloing. This CD offers a lot : freejazz, hard bop, blues, afro-jazz, funk, intens harmonic interplay and shouting counterpoint.
Of all the line-ups Vandermark played in for the last years, 4 Corners is one of the best. Adam Lane brings a deep musical and bluesy feeling to the band, and Broo adds the melodic and sometimes joyous sound. From the three CDs reviewed above, my not so very courageous choice would go to this one.

Tea Time: All About Gunpowder Green Tea
The steely green pearls that comprise Gunpowder tea aren't all as malevolent as their name would have you believe. The small rolled balls take their name—according to common legend—from soldiers' and sailors' belief that it resembled their own ammunition's gunpowder. Though the tea pearls do unfurl on immersion in water, it's unlikely a cup will cause you any friendly fire. More

Remember to protect your investment by doing routine checks of your vessels throughout the year especially before putting it away for storage. Prevent finding damage when you come back to your vessel next year, it can be costly and at times prevent by simply performing routine maintenance.
West Sacramento, CA By: Victoria Parks
The summer season is here and the heat has kicked in! Temperatures are at an all time high for this time of year and this combined with low lake levels has caused for emergency drought situations all over California. Some counties are reporting running out of water in the next 8-15 days even.
With this in mind some boaters may still need to make repairs to their vessel as well as store it in a secure facility. Now is the time to do so as the lake levels are predicted to only continue to lower. T. Parks Marine is available for just these accommodations. Be it short or long hauls we're here for the job and promise to do it to the highest standards! T. Parks Marine also offers summer storage as well as year round storage for vessels in W. Sacramento, CA.
Occasionally vessels stored on lakes or at docks can have unfortunate encounters with storms. In the event your vessel is involved in such an event T. Parks Marine is ready to spring forth into action for any rescue or salvage that may need occur.
Still accidents and mishaps do happen and repairs may need to be made to your vessel. A good trick for saving money with a houseboat is to call a few of your boating neighbor and get together a date when multiple boats can be pulled out and serviced. Pricing can be split between all the boats resulting in savings in the hundreds of dollars. The savings alone can cover the costs of your yearly maintenance.
Another way of saving money is a maintenance log. A maintenance log is a spread sheet with different boat components listed. You check off the components you inspect and make notes on any items that may be of concern to you. By doing these inspections before the boat is used, you can track issues on your vessel before they become major problems. Logs also allow you to communicate problems to your mechanic or shop. A good mechanic can review a log and see inconsistencies that may indicate a larger problem.
We offer log sheets you can print out and free consultation on how to use them. Click Here.

DURHAM, N.H. – Marty Scarano, director of athletics at the University of New Hampshire, announced Thursday the hiring of Steve Welham as the new head coach of the women's soccer program.
"We are very excited to announce the hiring of Steve Welham as the new head coach of our women's soccer program," Scarano said. "He has an impressive body of work within our league. Working alongside Sue Ryan, the well-respected head coach of Stony Brook, they have built a successful program. UNH aspires to do the same and regularly compete in the NCAA tournament."
"I want to thank Marty Scarano, Michelle Bronner and the entire UNH family who showed great support and professionalism throughout the entire process," Welham said. "I am humbled and honored to be New Hampshire's next women's soccer head coach."
"I am very optimistic for the future of the Wildcats program and look forward to building a winning culture in a positive, dynamic and competitive manner both on and off the soccer field," Welham said.
"The search committee did a tremendous job throughout the course of the selection process and I am pleased with the outcome," added Scarano, who served as chairperson. "I know that Steve will have an immediate impact upon his arrival."
Welham comes to Wildcat Country after spending the last eight seasons at Stony Brook University. From 2006-08, he served as an assistant coach until being promoted to the level of associate head coach in 2009. While with the Seawolves, Welham's primary responsibilities included working with goalkeepers and the back defensive line as well as running and assisting with full-team training sessions. He also served as the program's recruiting coordinator.
In 2013, Welham helped Stony Brook earn a share of the America East regular season title after posting a conference mark of 6-2-0 to go along with an overall record of 11-6-2. Under Welham's tutelage, goalkeeper Ashley Castanio was named the 2013 America East Goalkeeper of the Year, an All-Conference First Team selection, and to the All-Tournament Team. In 2012, the Seawolves captured their first America East championship and a berth to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history. Stony Brook reached at least the semifinal round of the AE tournament in six out of the last eight seasons with three championship game appearances in the last six years.
Prior to Stony Brook, Welham spent two seasons (2004-05) at Boston University as the assistant coach/goalkeeper coach of the men's squad. In his first season, the Terriers took home the America East regular season championship, the America East title and defeated Dartmouth College in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Welham spent the 2003 season as an assistant coach at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y. There, his responsibilities included goalkeeper training, video analysis, scouting and fundraising. The Mariners advanced to the Skyline Conference championship in his one season and were ranked as high as sixth in the nation.
Welham, a 1999 magna cum laude graduate of Seton Hall University with a degree in Criminal Justice and a minor in Psychology, achieved dean's list status a total of seven times. He was a member of the Big East Academic All-Star Team as a freshman, sophomore and junior and was named the Seton Hall University Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year as a senior. Welham was also the recipient of the Seton Hall Merit Scholarship. He received his master's degree in Counseling with a specialization in Sport Psychology in May 2003 from Boston University.
Welham played professionally with the South Jersey Barons of the United Soccer League, was invited to try out with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars of Major League Soccer (2001) and was invited to preseason camp for the Philadelphia KiXX of the Major Indoor Soccer League (2000-01).
Welham is equipped with an NSCAA Advanced National Diploma, an NSCAA National Advanced Goalkeeping Diploma (Level III) and the United States Soccer Federation National "A" Coaching License. He is a member of the U.S. Youth Soccer Region I goalkeeping staff, the U.S. National Scouting Staff for Goalkeepers and the USSF national scouting staff.
Since the inception of the America East Conference in 1996, the UNH Wildcats have qualified for postseason play 14 times, including a conference record streak of 12 consecutive appearances from 2001-2012. UNH has made six semifinal appearances (1996, 2002-06), two conference championship appearances (1998, 2007) and shared the conference regular season championship in 2007.
What they are Saying About Coach Welham:
Sue Ryan, Head Coach, Stony Brook University Women's Soccer
Steve has been a loyal, dedicated and hard working member of our Stony Brook women's soccer staff for the past eight years. He has had a wonderful impact on the lives of many student athletes. All of us here in the Stony Brook family wish him nothing but the best as he moves forward in his coaching career.
Nancy Feldman, Head Coach, Boston University Women's Soccer
"Steve has established himself as a respected professional in the collegiate coaching ranks. A student of the game, he has both the passion and enthusiasm for coaching and recruiting and knows what it takes to build an America East Championship caliber team, having been instrumental in putting one together at Stony Brook."
Neil Roberts, Head Coach, Boston University Men's Soccer
"I am happy for UNH and Steve and I knew it was only a matter of time before Steve got an opportunity. UNH gets a high character and high quality coach and this is definitely a great opportunity for him. It is an exciting time for UNH."
Kazbek Tambi, Former U.S. U-17 National Team Coach (World Cup Finalist), Former Seton Hall University Women's Soccer Head Coach
"UNH is extremely lucky to have Steve take on the leadership of this program. Steve's knowledge, experience, work ethic and passion for the game will serve to propel the program to new heights."

Town to get pro Israel bus ad
A new pro Israel ad planned for Chapel Hill Transit buses calls for peace.
But if the furor such ads have caused in the past when placed on town buses is any indication, peace could prove elusive.
The ad called "Imagine Peace" is paid for by StandWithUs and Voice forIsrael.
The pro-Israel groups have bought ad space on other transit buses across the country to counter what they perceive to be negative ads about Israel.
Town officials said the ad, scheduled to go on Chapel Hill Transit buses in August or September, has been reviewed by Town Attorney Ralph Karpinos, who found that it complies with guidelines approved by the Town Council about seven months ago.
"Based on reviews by the Chapel Hill Transit ad manager and the town attorney, the ad complies with the ad policy adopted by the council in December 2012," said Interim Transit Director Brian Litchfield.
The new ad shows what appear to be a young Jewish boy and a young Arab boy hugging and smiling for the camera.
The ad states: "Imagine Peace in a Middle East where Israel and her neighbors share technology and resources to create a future of peace and prosperity for generations to come. The possibilities are endless."
It also contains the required note telling readers that the ad is paid for by StandWithUs and Voice for Israel, along with a local telephone number.
A message left at the number in the ad was not immediately returned Monday.
The contract for the ad space calls for two interior ads per bus.
Litchfield said the town is still waiting for the organization to finalize the contract.
Bus ads were hotly debated in Chapel Hill last year.
Debates over free speech and the appropriateness of certain ads erupted after the Church of Reconciliation bought and placed an ad on buses last summer urging the U.S. to end military aid to Israel.
The ad featured an Israeli man and a Palestinian man both holding their grandchildren with "Build Peace with justice and equality. End U.S. military aid to Israel" written underneath.
It touched off a fiery discussion about the appropriateness of political and religious ads on town buses.
The fire was further stoked when the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) submitted a proposal to place five of the pro-Israel group's ads on the exterior of town buses.
The AFDI ad stating "In Any War Between the Civilized Man and the Savage, Support the Civilized Man, Support Israel. Defeat Jihad" has caused major controversy across the country.
Pam Geller, the executive director of the organization, which has successfully sued to have the ad run by transit operations in Washington, D.C., and New York, threatened to sue if the town didn't take its ad.
The council approved a bus advertising policy in December that allows religious, political and social issue ads, but restricts ads deemed false, misleading, deceptive or disrespectful.

After jumping more than 5% yesterday to reach their highest point in almost six months, Facebook shares are rising again today by more than 2%. Now that they're down only 17% from their offering price, it's worth asking: Will they keep those gains?
In a word, no. Of course not! This is the stock market, and more to the point, this is one of the market's most volatile big stocks around. So naturally, it's going to fall at some point–possibly next Tuesday if the mystery press event doesn't sufficiently rock investors' world. Or possibly tomorrow. Who knows?
Even more important, for all the positives that have driven the shares up recently, I can raise a raft of challenges: The fourth quarter, while looking promising at this point, could disappoint. Some advertisers, most recently movie studios, remain skeptical about Facebook ads. Maybe those mobile ads that seem to be doing so well will start to tick off users.
I've got more. Google, Twitter, and a bunch of startups could chip away at Facebook's social networking lead. Facebook's growth is slowing markedly in its most developed countries, like the U.S. At the same time, social advertising is in its infancy, and no doubt Facebook will try a lot of things that won't work. Indeed, one Facebook ad services firm, Spruce Media, just laid off 20% of its staff. And on and on.
Then again, the stock could just as easily rise, if Facebook can keep the momentum going. So the only certain thing about Facebook's stock is that uncertainty. That's a dead-obvious point for any stock, of course. But all the more so for Facebook.

Danny Brown's new album and here and the hype is semi-big. I didn't know ppl fucked with him like that. I've read a number of reviews and they go 1 of 2 ways usually. Either ppl think its his best album/masterpiece or ppl think its good but clearly don't think its as good as XXX with a side of resenting Danny's new audience or whatever. Apparently Danny is big with white ppl who fuck with molly. Idk, as I don't do drugs, I really just fuck with rap music. And really no body in real life fucks with the rap music I like, just ppl on the Internet. Here's what I say: it might be his best work; it might not but its great. It's a worthy follow-up to XXX for sure. Apparently, the album has a side A and B with 2 different themes and style. I honestly had no idea this was true. The first side they say is the OG black guy form Detroit Danny Brown and the second is the Danny once he realized he could fuck mad amounts of white girls if he did drugs and rapped over weird beats. I like both styles really. I prefer dude from Detroit Danny. Molly Danny is cool but overall I think it's a disservice to break Danny into only 2 categories. Danny's the Hybrid but he's not just a street dude mixed with party shit. To me he's really just a rap nerd with good taste and an ability to rap in different styles and fuse all that shit together who happens to have substance abuse probelms. A dude that fuxwit Def Jux nerd shit, dirty Detroit shit and whatever the fuck is good now. Add that up and I don't really see how different this shit is than XXX. XXX had plenty of molly weird shit on there and got mad serious near the end. Fuck it tho here's my review:
Side A: This song is tight. Its Detroit-style I guess. He's talking bout how ppl want the old Danny Brown. Here it is.
The Return: On the short list for best song on the album. Danny and Freddie Gibbs bar for bar are 2 of the best in the game if not 1 or 2 in some order. It's supposedly a remake of that Outkast song I haven't heard in forever. I like this version better which goes to show how great this is.
25 Bucks: See I'm not sure what style this is which makes me think that side A and B is bullshit. I guess the subject matter is dark and hood as opposed to druggy and Caucasian tho even if the beat isn't grimy. This is a good song. Danny Brown can rap and he has things to say.
Gremlins: This movie scared the shit outta me when I was 7. This is a good song and yes it is hood (a stupid distinction to make) or whatever. Also, I'd like to point out that like XXX most of the songs here are mad short. Its almost punk rock hip-hop. Songs don't really need to be longer than 3 minutes. I like Danny's few lines about 2 Chainz.
Wonderbread: A call back from that XXX song when he talked about getting beat up while going to get bread. Eh, its cool but its my least favorite so far.
Dope Fiend rental: Another dope ass song. School Boy Qs on this one. My second fav so far.
Torture: a dark song. And its not like Danny doesn't have any other dark songs. On the short list with the return for best song on the album. Me, I like depressing shit from time to time and Danny Brown is a poet.
Lonely: I love this shit too. This hits home for me as I relate a lot.
Clean it up: Danny needs to stop doing so much drugs. I guess, but Danny has other issues like anxiety and depression. I don't fuck with drugs but I think that's true of most addicts. Any way….
Red 2 go: More hyped, like party type of music. I guess. I still don't think Danny makes party music. That would be 2 chainz or Juicy J. I like this song.
Side B (Dope song): More hyped and molly-like. But this isn't really white to me. It's still raw (whatever the fuck that means).
Dubstep; This is tight. I heard this is grime more than anything. Only grime I ever listened to was Dizzee Rascal.
Dip: Danny does drugs. Pretty good song. Nice Lieutenant Dan reference to start the song off.
Smokin and drinkin: This I can imagine ppl who party liking this. It's hyped but not over the top. There's a hook too. I like it. Even is this version of Danny isn't your thing, he still raps like motherfucker.
Break It: I guess I like this song. Can white girls twerk to this??
Handstand: I'm tired of this shit by now. Its cool I just don't need to listen to it ever again. By this point it is clear that there are 2 sides to the album.
Way up here: This one has Ab-Soul. Better than the last few songs. Not as good as the earlier songs.
Kush Coma: with ASAP Rocky. This beat is obnoxious and the first time I heard it I dint like this that much. But I do think its one of the better Molly songs on the album.
Float On: more serious than Danny's been in a minute. A nice way to tie up the album.
So yeah I prefer the first half which really some of the best rap music in a long time. The more party oriented stuff isn't as good to me, but its still good. I really don't see how this is all that different than XXX, which has party stuff early on before getting serious near the end. Danny really is one of the best rappers in the game. So as a result this is the best release I've heard this year along with Run the jewels and Mr. Muthfuckin Exquire (who's criminally slept on). My only knock on Danny's career so far is that album he did with Black Milk should have been a serious, full-length release instead of just throwaways. Ideally he'd do a split LP featuring production from Black Milk and El-p or something. But then again Danny still raps over good beats so I guess it doesn't matter that much.
