excellent for my kitchen I love itRead More
Great faucet for the money!
Easily installed, works wellRead More
I love it!
The only thing I would say is read the directions before you install. It is a little different than some of the other faucets, but it works great!Read More
Quality and Beauty
This faucet was nicer that we even expected. The chrome finish fits in awesome with the other chrome finishes in our new kitchen. The spray feature is nice because you push the button with ease and you can switch from normal flow to the spray, which is more of a brisk shower flow, we keep it on that more than the normal. The faucet feels lightweight but does not feel or look cheap - we get lots of compliments on how nice it looks and the operation is smooth as well. Awesome faucet for the price!Read More
Great product
I've been using the new faucet for about a week now & very happy with it. It's a totally different design from the faucet we've had for the last 7 years. I love that I can now easily fill up large pans easily with water without having to maneuver under the faucet. Same goes with cleaning bigger items. Sprayer is terrific too. Faucet automatically stays in the sprayer mode if you had it there when you turned off the water the last time. Love that since I prefer the spray over the stream. I'm so happy with this purchase. It also modernizes the kitchen a bit which was needed! Our sink does not have a hole for the soap dispenser so didn't end up using that part.Read More
A nice upgrade to the old kitchen faucet , one of the hoses was defective and had to be replaced, it is a unique size thread that you cannot buy at a hardware or plumbing store. Overstock took care of everything and made a quick replacement of the defective part. Other than that, it was an easy install.Read More
The dyconn faucet is wonderful
This faucet is huge and soo convenient to use. It looks elegant over my deep cornered sink. I bought this faucet to replace one that I returned to another store. I am extremely happy with this purchase and top it all a bonus soap dispenser. Can't go wrong. It was very easy to install. It works really well and not too expensive. Delivery was prompt. Thank U Overstock.comRead More
Great product
Since the instruction manual did not specify which of the water connections was the hot or cold one, I called the number in California. The guy told me that the shorter pipe was the cold and the longer pipe the hot water line. Wrong! It was the exact opposite. The next day I called the California number again and told them to put the information in the instruction manual--in a correct manner--or else paint the hot water pipe red and the cold water pipe blue. For the rest, the installation was easy, and the faucet works like a champ.Read More
Great product.
This is a great product. Was surprised with the price of such a good product while comparing prices with ****** and **** ******. I love Overstock for helping us save money. We have had this product for over a year now and have no complains at all.Read More
Awesome kitchen faucet!
I needed to replace my old kitchen faucet because the sprayer (which was a part of the faucet) stopped working and the water flow was minimal. I saw this kitchen faucet for a great price and decided to purchase it because I needed something much taller that I could get my pots under. I am very pleased with the faucet; it is perfect in that it stands tall enough for me to get my Brita pitcher and large pots filled with ease and the sprayer also works wonderfully. The water flow is back to where it should be and it looks great in my kitchen. Also, I purchased the faucet for a price that could not be beat. Thank you, Overstock, for having this kitchen faucet.Read More
Questions & Answers
I need to upgrade mine and this had good reviews
hello, does this item also come in a brass finish? thank you
Hello mggmccue, unfortunately we currently do not have this faucet in a brass finish. Thank you for shopping with us, have a wonderful day!
How does one make a claim under warranty? Bought this dispenser last year and already the soap dispenser doesn't work and now the pull out hose detached from nozzle completely. I have no working faucet in sink and need that hose replaced. Help?!
Sorry, should read: "Bought this faucet last year..."
Does this faucet have to be mounted to a deck plate or can it be mounted to the granite countertop directly?
Thank you for contacting us jenhye75. This faucet can be mounted using the deck plate or directly onto countertop without it. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
The left side of my sink curves back a bit so the deck plate was not able to fit correctly. Because of this, my handyman just attached the bottom of the faucet to the opening in the sink & all is working great. So I would guess mounting it to the countertop directly would be okay too.
Does it fit a three hole sink?? Deck plate covering the two unused holes on the sink??
Thank you for contacting us jygame. Yes this faucet can fit in a 3-hole sink, the diameter of the valve shank measures 1 ¼". This faucet does come with a deck plate that is 10" wide. If the 3 holes can fit within the 10" range, then the deck plate should cover them. Also, please keep in mind that another hole will be needed for the soap dispenser. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
the item does not show a deck plate, does it come with one?
Thank you for your question, tczarnecki. Yes, the deck plate is included with this item. I hope this helps, and thanks for shopping with us.
Does the soap dispenser also act as an air gap?
This soap dispenser does not act as an air gap. Thank you for your question.
Is this product made of metal or plastic?
Hello, this item is metal.
Does this product come with a deck plate?
Yes, the soap dispenser and plate cover are included.

My best frugal tip is to use your local Library...It's a one stop shop full of savings!
1. Story time! Is fun, free, educational entertainment for you and your little ones.
2. Check out books for you and your little ones. The selection is huge and if you can't find what you want you can always request it. You can also search and request from home via the Internet to save time!
3. Check out music. Great selection in kids CDs so you don't have to listen to the same songs over and over!
4. Check out movies and educational films for you and your little ones! I checked out a breastfeeding DVD the last week, great info if you can't make it to a breastfeeding support group.
5. Skip the gym and the expense that comes with it and check out workout DVDs. You can do this in your living room to save time and money!
6. Check out books on tape. Great for traveling!
7. Look into your local branch, often they provide other services and resources for families!
You forgot about the fun of shopping in the discard pile. I've found lots of great books that I wanted my own copy of for really, really cheap.
We really just use the story times and borrow lots of books but I couldn't agree with you more. The library is AWESOME!
We get lots of books for cheap at the monthly book sale as well.

I can never do any of that. :( My kids are insane apparently. As soon as we walk in they are running up and down the aisles, being loud and not listening. Sigh.

I've gone through long stretches where I used the online catalogue to place lots of holds, then I only had to pop into the library long enough to grab the holds that were waiting for me, and could leave, or I could get DH to pick up the holds on his way home from work.

Hmmm, that's a thought...
Single, student mama to 3 boys
I love our local library! There is even a branch near us that has storytimes on Saturday mornings for WOHMs.
The only potential budget busters are late fees (I've gotten burned with this a couple times, but I don't feel too bad since I see them as "donations" to the library) and damaged items (I took out one book that my daughter trashed. We only borrow board books, with no "pop-ups" or extra pieces, now...)
Adding to the list: When my kids were small, the library had a dedicated phone line you could call and hear stories. I don't know if it's still available, now that you can download audiobooks to your computer, tablet etc. and listen to them. At the time, it was a wonderful distraction that would give me a short breather during the day.
Oh, and another way I saved money with the library - I would often go there when I had an hour or so to kill while the kids were in an extracurricular activity. It kept me from spending cash on coffee and pastries, so it helped me avoid unnecessary calories too, since that was my other usual activity when I was waiting for them.
Our public library system is one of my favourite things about my city. It's awesome. I confess, though, that I have a lot of overdue fines right now, so it hasn't been absolutely free. In my defense, my local branch was undergoing renovations and I never seemed to make it to the next nearest branch to drop off books. I consider my fines to be a donation to the cause so I never feel bad about them. I figure it's still way less expensive than buying books.
Our library offers children's programming that allows a fair amount of activity for children. I recall my kids participating in a robot-building workshop, exploring Shakespeare by re-enacting sword-play scenes and comic hide-and-seek in the "forest", and making puppets, to name a few. They also attended traditional storytimes and author visits too. Hopefully, your library offers similar programs. Looking at your signature, your children may be still a little young for some of the organized activities, but maybe not for too much longer. Hang in there. Rachelsmama's suggestion to use the hold system is a terrific idea too.
I also just wanted to say a word of appreciation about the amazing librarians we have. They are dedicated, knowledgeable and caring. They have been a wonderful resource my children and me.
I have to add a disclaimer that I was a librarian before I became a stay at home mom and hope to go back when my kids are older, but I love libraries so much. I really encourage everyone to take advantage of what your nearby library has to offer. We go every week.
The newest thing that our library offers is magazines that I can dowload onto my Kindle. I can sit in the pickup line at school and read free magazines. There are hundreds of them. All totally free!
And Overdrive totally works on the Kindle so you can download ebooks and they return automatically on this device as well.

Veterans bus tour promotes alternative energyWritten by Lauren Farnsworth | | email@example.com
Veterans are traveling the country voicing their opinions on clean energy and its relation to national security. Toledo will be the first of five cities visited during the Ohio tour.
The goal is to lower greenhouse gas emissions and promote alternative energy, according to Rachel Margo, legislative director of the Ohio League of Conservation Voters. She is working with the Sierra Club, National Wildlife Foundation and Environmental Defense in a group called Clean Energy Works. Clean Energy Works is helping organize the tour.
The tour is run by Operation Free, "a coalition of veterans who believe that reliance upon foreign oil makes America's security vulnerable as well as negatively affecting climate change," Margo said.
"People think about the cost of energy — the lights at their house or the gas in their car, but they don't think about the security risks we're taking as a country and how they relate to energy," Margo said.
Operation Free is being hosted by UT at the Clean and Alternative Energy Incubator. The incubator is a facility that offers assistance to developing energy companies.
"Incubators provide hands-on management assistance, access to financing and exposure to critical business or technical support services. They also offer entrepreneurial firms shared office services, access to equipment, flexible leases and expandable and affordable space — all under one roof," according to the UT business incubation Web site.
Fifty percent of small businesses fail within the first three to five years, according to the Small Business Administration. The top two reasons are inexperience in management and insufficient capital.
According to Megan Reichert, director of the Clean and Alternative Energy Incubator, 85 percent of businesses that graduate from incubation are successful after five years.
The Clean and Alternative Energy Incubator is fostering 11 businesses.
Even though alternative energy is present in Toledo, it is important to increase awareness.
"A lot of the exports of Toledo are going over to Europe where they're using clean energy, they're using solar panels and other options, where here in Ohio we're still relying on coal," Margo said.
Operation Free decided to visit Toledo in order to recognize current efforts and inspire the growth of clean and alternative energy.
Margo also spoke favorably of Toledo's efforts.
"Toledo is doing maybe more than any other city in the state, as far as promoting clean and alternative energy especially with the companies coming out of the University of Toledo," she said.
According to Margo, many of the businesses that are either in the incubator or that have graduated from the incubator are hiring.
Businesses connected to the incubator have created more than 237 jobs, Reichert said.
"This is an example of a common mission, the alternative energy and solar power particularly are things the university have been intimately involved with for decades now," said Jon Strunk, media relations manager at UT. "An organization that is working to promote those sorts of alternative energy goals is a natural complement to the University of Toledo's efforts in that area."
Other cities included in the Ohio tour are Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus.
The Toledo event will take place March 19 at 10 a.m.

This paper describes a graph-theoretic complexity measure and illustrates how it can be used to manage and control program complexity. The paper first explains how the graph-theory concepts apply and gives an intuitive explanation of the graph concepts in programming terms. The control graphs of several actual Fortran programs are then presented to illustrate the correlation between intuitive complexity and the graph-theoretic complexity. Several properties of the graph-theoretic complexity are then proved which show, for example, that complexity is independent of physical size (adding or subtracting functional statements leaves complexity unchanged) and complexity depends only on the decision structure of a program.

Great nutritious flour & Gluten Free
Posted by 4862199909849852669 on Aug 08, 2014
I love this flour. I add it to my gluten free cooking - they recommend substituting 15-20% of your normal flour for sorghum to add good nutrition to your diet. It adds a nice flavour to your cooking too. Highly recommend this product - and iHerb offers it at a great price.
A fantastic product!
Posted by 5297316669217199427 on Sep 24, 2014
One of my favourite flours!
Posted by southerninlaw on Nov 14, 2014
I love using Sorghum flours in cookies and brownies as it gives you an incredible texture and melt in your mouth results!
It's flour
Posted by 4952939693047670237 on Feb 04, 2015
Great flour. The packaging isn't very practical as it can't be resealed and doesn't have much structure.

As all who know him will attest, Wayne Greenhaw is one of Alabama's best storytellers. In "Fighting the Devil in Dixie," Greenhaw shines the spotlight more on the determined lawyers who went after the flagrantly illegal, unconstitutional city and state ordinances and the Klan itself.
By Don Noble
Audio ?2011 Alabama Public Radio
The real king of country was, of course, Alabama's Hank Williams. To make sure the reader understands that his protagonist Bobby Lee Butler is not a thinly veiled Williams, the first scene in the novel is young Bobby Lee attending Hank's famous funeral in Montgomery. Bobby Lee is also from Georgiana, knew Hank, has the music in his blood, and is a skinny, poor, white boy with no power or connections in this world. Life will be hard.
On the evening of December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks took her seat on bus number 2857. When a white passenger boarded, Mrs. Parks was ordered to give up her seat, refused, and was arrested. In this book, the Montgomery bus boycott that lasted 381 days is fully fleshed out, using extensive research.
The Thunder of Angels
At the age of fourteen, in 1954, Greenhaw, and his protagonist alter-ego Thomas Morgan Reed, developed scoliosis, a severe curvature of the spine. In The Spider's Web Thomas must endure a year of excruciating operations and body casts.

How about a poem, Hornetspoets.
I wasn't complaining about the system. I was just stating the facts. I agree with the current voting system. I think it should be about the fans and who they'd like to see, however, when something as one sided as this happens, something needs to be done. I can see the headlines now:
"Houston Rockets send entire team to compete in All-Star game"
"First all-star team ever comprised of same team"
"Top ten all-star vote getters from Houston Rockets"
"You wanted it, you got it! Houston Rockets vs. Eastern Conference All-Stars"
"NBA All-Star game National Anthem to be sung by former American Idol William Hung"
You can't compete with China. They're so hell bent on trying to prove to the world they are worthy of being a world power that they're willing to do anything to justify it. You saw all the footage about how they bred their olympic athletes and trained them from birth. Who's to say they don't breed their NBA all-star voters. The chinese government probably coordinates nba all-star voting parties every night throughout the country. Of course I'm being ridiculous. I'm just having fun. Or am I? You be the judge. Tune in next week as the Chinese vote to impeach Barack Obama in favor of Gary Locke and Elaine Chao.
30% of the votes come from China and they only vote for players on the Houston Rockets. Hmmm.... So, 30% of the NBA fan All-Star votes go to the Houston Rockets. Ok, think about this. Our country is divided into fifty states with 32 different teams of players for us to choose. Each state has its own particular team to root for, so our vote is divided pretty evenly amongst the teams. China has one team; Houston. China is an entire country. China has the largest population in the world!? Once again, hmmm... not fair. I don't mind Yao being voted top center, but David West not being ranked in the top 11 among western conference forwards is more of an injustice than Chris Paul's being ranked third. Luis Scola? Shane Battier? Ron Artest? Are you kidding me? China voted the entire Houston line-up as All-stars. Doesn't seem like much of an All-star game to me. I'll give them one thing, though, at least their loyal.
Also, answer me this. Half a world away, how the hell does China get all of the Rocket's games televised, when the New Orleans Metro area can't even agree to televise one Hornets game? We should boycott Cox and Charter just because of that. We're the New Orleans Hornets, and we can't even get our games televised locally. C'mon. And they wondered why they couldn''t get anyone into the seats. If it weren't for Chris Paul, and last seasons strong showing, New Orleans wouldn't even have a franchise. Shinn would have been able to opt out of his contract with the city after they failed to meet attendance requirements. It seems to me, Shinn want's to move, because if he cared about staying, then he'd try to increase his fan base by giving the surrounding areas something to watch and cheer for. No sense in having a professional franchise if you can't watch them play.
Wow, the more I write the angrier I get. This article just proves (on a small scale, of course), just how apathetic we are about integrity and justice.

eBay Listing: 1968 Charger custom resto-mod
Name a full size bad ass late 1960's muscle car? Dodge Charger is thy name. MOPAR fans rejoice the time has come to look at a second generation Dodge Charger built from 1968-70. The second generation of Dodge Chargers, by far and away, is a popular group of cars to collect. Restorations of these machines can often end up in the dream machine of many. We would be remiss in not mentioning the cars' onscreen presence in the "Dukes of Hazzard," both the television show and the film, and in the "Fast and Furious" series of films, and also in the film "Bullitt." Obviously numerous 1968-70 Dodge Chargers have been destroyed for great onscreen car chases, which only make the remaining examples more desirable.
"That thing got a HEMI?" Some of the cars do indeed have that desirable engine. 440's and 383's were also fitted from the factory among other engines. The second generation Dodge Charger exemplifies everything that is the American spirit. It is a big hairy all American winning machine, and on the streets and racetracks of the U.S.A. this vehicle was a force to be reckoned with. It is a car that makes bad guys out of the best of us, because even the tamest individual would want to flex their right foot on the accelerator pedal on this beast of automotive excellence.
The current owner of this 1968 Dodge Charger said this about their car:

To be fair, I would prefer the Datsun mentioned here a couple of days ago anytime. No offense to Dodge fans, but this just doesn't cut the coolness factor these days in my opinion.
We had a '68 Charger that was passed down and used by 3 generations. Anyone that has ever worked on or driven one of these will know how to appreciate it. The original "aircraft-like seat buckles and gas cap" to me was a novelty when I was a kid. I have to say, I'm still fascinated by this car. Great work Neil on this beautiful piece of work. Good luck selling it!
To James Mcdonnell, I'm also a Datsun fan as well, I just think the restoration/modification of this car was very well done.
To Andy T. I just want to clarify that I do not own the car nor have I worked on it, I just appreciate that the owners modifications made a good car even better.

A headline like this must send shivers up the spines of Democrats and bring smiles to the faces of 2010 Republican candidates: "Nancy Pelosi resists President Obama's outreach efforts." She is so perfectly tone-deaf, so utterly opposed to compromise, and so unfazed by the political peril that dozens of her members face, that one sometimes suspects another devious Karl Rove plot is in the works. (Maybe Pelosi could oppose all tax cuts! Then she could reject even the baby-step spending freeze!)
But to the chagrin of many Democrats, this is for real. Pelosi isn't interested in anything other than spending gobs more money and passing ObamaCare. This report gives the blow-by-blow from Tuesday's White House meeting:
White House economic advisers Christina Romer and Larry Summers defended the administration's proposal to give employers a $5,000 credit for each new worker they hire as well as help with Social Security taxes.
Pelosi countered that no one she's consulted believes that the plan will actually lead to the creation of new jobs, sources said.
"She questioned the efficacy of it," one Democratic aide said.
Another Democratic aide said that Pelosi has "some concerns about the tax side" of the jobs bill Senate Democrats are trying to pass, but that she didn't say she'd refuse to move the bill through the House if it clears the Senate.
Pelosi's push back against the tax credit plan is the latest in a series of breaks with White House officials.
You do sometimes wonder if the White House wouldn't do better if Pelosi were the Minority Leader. She's been quite an annoyance of late. ("Most recently, she questioned Obama's proposal for a three-year freeze on discretionary non-security spending, saying any freeze should apply equally to defense as well as domestic spending.") And she certainly does exemplify the anti-business, anti-growth, pro-tax-hike image Democrats are perpetually trying to live down (because they keep proposing anti-business, anti-growth legislation and tax hikes, I suppose). Well, Obama may get his chance to deal with a Republican-controlled Congress if she keeps this up.
For the Republicans, this is political manna. Pelosi is the poster girl for political extremism and for big-government infatuation. If they're lucky, she'll stick to her guns, hobble the feeble steps by the White House to reach out to Republicans, and remind voters that the Democrats never met a tax break or a spending freeze they could support.

The 13 Best St. Louis Noise/Experimental Bands in 2013
|Mabel Suen
|Catholic Guilt
Founding members Sean Burk and Joe Stein couldn't decide on a name for their project, so they wrestled it out at a party. Catholic Guilt is a safety net of its members' ideas, warped into a somewhat palatable form for the outside world. Burk and his crew might take more influence from punk rock than most bands that identify as "noise," but Catholic Guilt earns its distinction with an honest, anything-goes approach.
Catholic Guilt isn't easy to pin down. At the most recent RFT Music Showcase, the group drove barflies and bouncers alike to step outside and complain out loud. At a recent show on Cherokee Street, Catholic Guilt took to an outside stage with a set of snotty punk-rock songs -- a far cry from its typical noise set. With core members who play in Bug Chaser, Shaved Women and Maximum Effort, among many other local mainstays, Catholic Guilt bridges the gap between scenes and cliques in St. Louis by simply existing.

Mabel Suen The Conformists
The members of the Conformists do whatever they want. Having recorded two studio albums with Steve Albini, the Conformists toured America and Europe and blessed St. Louis with its off-the-wall approach to post-rock for more than fifteen years. Its most recent record, None Hundred, offers considerable depth beyond the first listen. An unholy blend of math rock and early sightings of metal, the Conformists offers a dark set of songs rife with musical nooks and crannies.
The band is also known for being pranksters. For an unsuspecting crowd on April Fool's Day, the Conformists opted to trade in its carefully sorted songs to play the entire first Minor Threat LP. The typical live show, though, is no joke.

A prolific performer in the Football League, Rhodes continues to generate speculation suggesting he could soon be on his way to the Premier League.
He has, however, completed just one season at Ewood Park since making an £8million move from Huddersfield Town.
Rovers are understandably reluctant to part with the Scotland international after just 12 months, having seen him net 28 times in his debut campaign, and have sought to make it clear that the 23-year-old is not for sale.
Shaw told the Lancashire Telegraph on the Rhodes rumours: "We've had no contact from any club, and that's how we would like it to stay.
"There have been no bids for him. We do not want to sell him.
"When I flew out to India at the start of the summer, that was one of the things I wanted to clarify and I wanted to make sure that we could keep hold of our best players.
"Jordan is a very important player for us and he is a top professional. You only have to look at his goal return last season to see how much of an impact he has for us. We certainly have no desire to see him go."

Recently, we've noticed that a lot of comment spam has been appearing in the guestbooks and blogs of many JimdoPages -- including our own. We know it must annoy you as much it does us, so we've
done something about it:
The anti-spam protection (captcha) we implemented in the contact forms is now available for you to use on your guestbooks, comment elements, and blog posts. It won't protect you from all spam, but we hope that it will minimize the effect on your sites.
Log into your JimdoPage and click (in edit mode) on your guestbook or blog post. You'll see the new option to activate a captcha. Everyone who wants to write on your page will need to enter the Captcha -- only then will the comment be posted. If you have moderation turned on, you'll still have to approve any comments.
Please note: even this won't protect you from determined (human) spammers leaving spam comments on your site "manually," but it makes it more difficult for them. We'll keep
working on more effective solutions for these types of problems.
You can have complete control over the comments that appear in your guestbook and other parts of your JimdoPage if you select the moderation option. This means that you'll receive still email notifications of each comment. However, they won't appear until you log in and approve them. Of course, it's better for your real visitors to see their comments posted immediately, but if you're getting a lot of unwanted comments, this is a way deal with them.
Thank you very helpful

ST. MARYS ŌĆō A number of area students headed off to college or other postsecondary education will have some help thanks to scholarships awarded through the Elk County Community Foundation (ECCF).
Students from Elk County and the surrounding area were awarded 87 scholarships totaling over $100,600 through the foundation, which helps individuals and groups achieve their philanthropic goals by assisting with the creation of endowments and other funding, and then awarding that funding locally to individuals, nonprofit organizations and others.
Recently the Fox Township Supervisors approved a request for a conditional-use permit for EOG Resources to install three additional gas wells in the Boone Mountain area.
The company's original request was to install a total of five new gas wells; however, two of the sites must be relocated in order to meet the township setback requirements.
Their approval of the request included the stipulation that the Fox Twp. Zoning Enforcement Officer Robin Singer be permitted on the well sites to inspect them, without interference, to assure the sites are meeting all township zoning requirements.
ECC finishes with fine 20-4 record
LORETTO - The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader softball team saw their season come to an end Friday afternoon at St. Francis University in Loretto, where they suffered a tough 2-1 loss to the Fannett Metal Lady Tigers.
Elk Catholic ended the season with a fine 20-4 record. They were the District 9 Class A champs and won the Elk County Tournament.
Marcy M. Hodgdon, 39, of 213 Faries St., Wilcox died on Thursday, June 7, 2012 at Elk Regional Health Center in St. Marys.
She was born on May 19, 1973 in Ridgway, daughter of Kenneth and Joyce Oertly Finn of Wilcox, who survive. She married William J. Hodgdon on July 20, 2006. He survives.
Mrs. Hodgdon resided in the Wilcox area all of her life. She graduated from Johnsonburg Area High School in 1991. She was Lutheran by faith and was a caring and thoughtful person whose children were the love of her life. She also loved animals, Penn State and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
John W. "Jack" Hanes, 82, of 121 Poplar Rd., St. Marys, died on Thursday, June 7, 2012 following a brief illness.
He was born July 1, 1929 in St. Marys, a son of the late Raphael "Ralph" and Kathryn Samick Hanes. On April 15, 1999, he married Betty Dornich Erich Hanes, who survives.
INDIANA ŌĆō┬ĀThe Neshannock Lancers may have had more fans in the stands and around the field at Thursday afternoon's quarterfinal contest at the White Township Recreation Complex in Indiana, but the Elk County Catholic Crusader squad made enough noise both on and off the field to keep the momentum in their favor as they pulled off a 4-3 victory to advance to the PIAA Class A baseball championship semifinals.
Jack Herzing went the distance on the mound for the Crusaders, giving up three hits, walking two, and striking out seven.
ST. MARYS - With the completion of the 2011- 2012 school year, St. Marys Area School District Superintendent Ann Kearney offered congratulations to those who contributed to the success of the term and began to discuss district activities planned for the summer recess during Thursday's workshop meeting of the board of directors
Current and former students of April School of Dance are showcasing a wide array of performances during the school's 20th annual review, "Deja Vu." This year also marks the 30th year of teaching for April Cush, dance school owner.
The 2.5-hour show, with a 10-minute intermission, will take place tonight and Saturday evening beginning at 7 p.m. inside the St. Marys Area High School auditorium. Advance tickets, priced lower than those sold at the show, are available at The Village Peddler on Erie Avenue in St. Marys and Cliffe's in Ridgway.
Zito Media officially began upgrades to its cable television service in St. Marys on Monday and customers were quick to vent their frustrations with the process.
Among the upgrades being offered is the addition of over 60 high-definition (HD) channels. In order to receive the high-definition channels, customers need to obtain an HD digital receiver box, the installation of which has proven vexing for some.
"We picked up the boxes and hooked them up today. One TV is working, the other isn't. Does it have to be this hard?," Patty Carpin Posteraro of St. Marys said.
During Wednesday evening's Fox Township Supervisors' meeting, Jim Rigas of Zito Media provided a brief update on the cable television provider's ongoing upgrades to area subscribers.
Rigas stated Monday was the busiest day for the company's St. Marys office, which marked the first day the new cable boxes became available to subscribers.

O Plush, Where Art Thou?
After two multi-hit games in the past week, Nyjer Morgan has raised his season average 27 points and is 7 for his last 12 with two walks and two doubles. This has inspired those around to team to declare that Morgan is, in fact, "heating up". Like many on the team this year he underwent a slow start and has fallen short of expectations, but were we asking for too much from him after 2011?
Like most fan expectations, particularly for this year's team, the answer is certainly yes. After a year of antics and clutch hitting, we forget all too quickly that Plush was exiled from Washington and Pittsburgh before for similar play to what we've seen in 2012. His triple-slash line during his only full season in Nationals' red (2010: .253/.319/.314) bears striking resemblance to his .242/.307/.304 line this year, his on-base surfacing above the .300 Mendoza line on just Tuesday. We saw glimpses of his hacker approach last year, when his walk rate hit a paltry 4.4% and he saw over 600 fewer pitches than in 2010, even with a difference of about 150 plate appearances. He also benefited from a .362 BABIP. But if anything, the plate approach has improved in 2012, he is swinging the bat very slightly less (down 1% from last year) and making similar contact (85%, down .4% from 2011), so why are the results so different this year?
Chalk it up to a recent inability to drive the ball. For someone with such limited pop in his bat, Morgan has racked up a respectable amount of extra base hits in his career thanks to his blazing speed. He was good for 13 doubles in just 160 AB in with Pittsburgh in 2008, similar to his full season numbers over the next three years. But last year, Plush began pulling the ball with some more authority and overachieved to the tune of a .116 ISO over 378 AB, reflected on the stat sheet in his 25.7& line drive rate, 6.1% above the league average. If we extrapolate this rate to coincide with the minimum plate appearances required to qualify for the batting title (which in his case would have only been 74 more PA), Morgan would have been tied for third in all of baseball, only behind Joey Votto, Michael Bourn, and Michael Young, and ahead of the top five vote receivers for NL MVP.
This year? Morgan has just six extra base hits (4 doubles and 2 HR) dropping his ISO to .062, and it's thanks to a 20.3% line drive rate which is .4% below the MLB mean. Of the three possible outcomes when a ball is hit, Fangraphs tells us how valuable line drives are: they produce 1.26 runs per out, while fly balls produce 0.13 runs per out and ground balls produce 0.05 runs per out. Put that together with his .291 BABIP (generally speaking, .300 is average), and we see that Plush is hitting less line drives and the ones that he does hit are mostly landing in defenders' gloves. Herein lies a big part of the reason he began 2012 with a record streak of plate appearances without recording an RBI.
Brewers fans have placed a lot of blame on the heads of Morgan and to a greater extent, Rickie Weeks for the team's run-scoring struggles, and an upward climb in the standings begins with improved hitting from those two. While that blame isn't grossly misplaced, it seems that the bar has been set a bit too high for Plush after his 2011 aberration. Even when watching footage of his plate appearances last year, it should go without saying that he is not in the same class as Votto, Matt Kemp, and Ryan Braun, yet in 2011 he gave a wonderful impersonation of hitters of that caliber. Nationals and Pirates fans know the 2012 version of Nyjer Morgan as the real Nyjer Morgan. Logic would say that his real abilities lie somewhere between what he displayed in 2011 and an aggregate of his 2010/2012 seasons. While it remains to be seen what kind of hitter the Brewers get in 2012, that kind of median is definitely solid for a platoon center fielder, and hopefully result in the return of his legendary post-game interviews.

What's up guys? Do I have a cutie for you guys this week. This guy James is so hot, we saw him from afar and knew he would be perfect for the bait bus. He was like a real manly man. So we drove up to him, and he was about to go walking to the downtown jail to bail out his baby mama. We told him he was crazy rnrnif walked there, because it was way to far. We offered him a ride, but he was hesitant, so Cameron took it upon herself to shove her tits in his face, and he looked real happy after that. He ended up getting on the bus with us. We told him that Cameron had short term memory loss, and that is we had to take the camera with us everywhere we went. He totally fell for it. While we were on the bus Cameron kept flashing her tits and shoving them in his face. She even straight out asked him if she could suck his dick. He was so hesitant about doing it on camera, that she told him he was gay. Once he heard that he went along with the blindfolding plan. Let me tell you this guy had a big

Rhodium is a precious metal from the platinum family. The rhodium plating is used especially in jewelry to give an appearance that will resist scratches and stains and a white appearance. The rhodium plating is often found in white gold. White gold is a misnomer. The gold is actually yellow.
What we today call the white gold jewelry is a league (mixture) of gold with a white metal – usually nickel, silver and palladium. Known as white metals are in fact more to a gray color than white, so, the appointed "white gold" has a yellowish hue. The higher the content of the jewel, plus the amount of gold in its formulation, therefore, the more yellow if left. As the person using the jewel like color nearest the target, a thin layer of rhodium plating is used to give luster to the jewel that. White gold rhodium plated also keeps these areas for a period longer – rhodium will not stain or discolor, and being in short, a good hard substance, it is less likely to be scratched.
Sometimes, jewelry and silver plate are also dipped in rhodium. In the case of platinum rhodium is due to be slightly brighter, thus, is used to increase brightness. For silver is a bit different. Silver is brighter than rhodium, but silver is also a much softer metal and can be scratched very easily. Thus, silver jewelry receives a coating of rhodium has a longer shelf life, mostly scratches.

ELLENBURG - The wind will rage on, but for now, the potential energy it could produce will go untapped.
Horizon Wind Energy, the Houston, Tx.-based firm behind the proposal of a wind farm in the towns of Ellenburg and Clinton, has delayed construction for the multi-million dollar project. However, according to project manager Gary S. Davidson, plans for the Marble River Wind Farm development are still under way.
"We had, at one point, thought we could begin construction as early as this year, but have since taken a look and decided to not build, not only this year, but in 2009 either," said Davidson. "We're still working, still doing our diligence. There's still some engineering work to be done, basically getting ready for construction, but it's just not going to happen in 2009."
"It's not, in any way, an indication of backing away from the project," affirmed Davidson.
The principle issues behind the slowdown, said Davidson, include the initial delay in the project receiving the proper permits for construction. The majority of permits have since been obtained, said Davidson, though the corporation is still working to receive one final permit from the Army Corps of Engineers.
Other factors are also responsible, he added, such as the decline in wholesale power rates in New York State and a higher estimated return on investments in other developments in Oklahoma, Iowa, Oregon and Minnesota.
"The thought was concentrating, as far as construction goes, on some of the projects where the economics are a little more attractive in the short run," said Davidson. "As a development team, we would have loved to have seen the project built, but when you look across the country and where we're developing other projects, the economics kind of pushed us to go to where the returns for those projects are greater."

Healing in Karlovy Vary can take place year round. Healing treatments consist of drinking the spring waters, dieting, bath treatments and health treatments. The water's chemical composition is identical for all springs, but their temperature and oxygen content varies. The spring waters possess healing properties affecting various bodily systems, and they assist in the body's healing and restoration.
The first mention of Karlovy Vary's healing treatments has been made as early as 1522, when a medical doctor by the name of Vaslav Faier recommended his patients not only to bathe in the water of the Vozidlo Spring but to drink it as well.
Karlovy Vary's bath treatments were greatly developed by Dr. David Bahar who had studied the water in 1764 and began with the mass manufacturing and marketing of salt from the Vozidlo Spring. Use of the springs' water for drinking purposes has been decreasing, and today most people prefer to simply bathe in them.
In 1755 Johann Georg Puppestablished established in Karlovy Vary an extensive foundation of hotels and restaurants. In 1826 Jean de Carro founded the spas near the Vozidlo Spring. In 1853 Dr. Mannel used the iron in the water for healing purposes. In 1905 institutions in Prague specializing in bath treatments (balneotherapy) began showing an interest in the vacation town, and a foundation was established for treating chronic diseases of the digestive system and metabolic disorders.
The town is the home of 12 healing springs. The largest and most famous is the Vozidlo, gushing out from a depth of 2 to 3 kilometers. The spring's temperature can be as high as 73° C, while the temperatures of the other springs range around 40° C.
The springs' waters mainly heal the digestive-eliminatory system and improve the body's metabolism. They are also used for inhalation and bath treatments.]]>

Dear Editor,
Now is the time for the churches of America to awaken and arise wiping the sand from our eyes. The Pied Piper has played his lullaby and put many churches to sleep. The time to wake up is now! The time to take action is now! How could we be so silent while more than 54 million innocent babies have been aborted? Is God dead? Is He deaf and blind? Is there no judgement? There isn't if He is dead. There isn't if He cannot see what is going on down here. There isn't if He cannot hear the silent screams of the babies. No! God is alive and well. "I am the same yesterday, today and forever," He says, "I change not."
We have a clear-cut choice to make on Nov. 6. The intent of the candidates could hardly be plainer. Church, we have the power (through God's will) to put an end to the sacrificing of our children.
We all know our country is sick, almost staggering like a drunken person. We need the blessings and power of God back in our churches, our homes, our hearts.
Let us come together to pray, to join in unity and reaffirm our commitment to the One True God. Please join us for a Candlelight Prayer Vigil on the [Mason County] courthouse steps on Nov. 5, from 6 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Coffee, hot chocolate and cookies will be served. Let's get back to the Constitution and other godly precepts we were founded upon.
Connie Gibbs,
Letart, W.Va.

Recipe by CHARMED_TWICE
"My grandmother baked the most wonderful cookies, cakes and breads. These she sold during the Depression to make money to help her family. This recipe is among one of my favorites, because I loved crunchy cookies and pecans. This recipe went into my hope chest in 1963."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

3 cups
sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
1/2 cup
butter, softened
1 cup
white sugar
1 cup
packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 cup
chopped pecans
1/2 cup
white sugar
These are wonderful! If you love pecans and pralines, you will love these crunchy cookies. They do taste like praline cookies. They are sweet enough but not sweet like pralines. They were very easy to make with ingredients already in my pantry. No trip to the store necessary. I don't bake very often, but these are worth baking. I made the recipe as written except I used margarine instead of butter since that is what I had on hand. I used a tablespoon to drop the dough on the cookie sheet, but these made much larger cookies than what I expected. I set out to make 24 and it made about 18. But they were delicious! These would be awesome if they were dipped in chocolate! Thanks for a great cookie recipe.
Delicious cookies, I did roll in sugar before baking. I had to turn my oven to 350, 375 was too hot. They cook up real fast, need to check on them after 7 minutes. This will be a popular recipe for me to bake. Thank you for posting it. This isn't a real sweet cookie.

These crispy cookies have a subtly sweet and rich praline flavor. Easy to make and delicious!
They were a hit...family loved them
Yum yum! These cookies remind me of blondies in cookie form. I had to bake mine at 350 degrees since they started getting too dark at 375 degrees. I used my tablespoon cookie scoop for the first tray and these came out very large and soft and chewy. The next tray I used my teaspoon cookie scoop and these came out crunchy as the name suggests. These are delicious cookies I'm sure to make again.
Loved it! I added extra pecans and put some bigger pecan pieces on top. The problem is I can't stop eating them.
I just made a batch of "Renee's Pecan Crunch Cookies". Let me say they are very good and very tasty. I will be making them again very soon.

This looks like one for the list of vinyl that beats the CD issue:Is there a reason for not putting this new version out on CD or iTunes? Other than finally giving the world the evidence that Vlado Meller has devastating influence on rock music?
(note - it's only the new vinyl, not the old vinyl).
In my opinion there's never a reason why a good-sounding master, as found on any LP, shouldn't be put to CD or iTunes. (And I say that as one who likes and purchases vinyl as much or more than digital.)Yes, fans with competent hearing feeling obliged to buy a new version would be insult enough, but that's so many times worse when it costs $35 (to quote one figure) and is not properly (=100%) archivable.
EDIT: I don't mean any LP has a better sounding master than the CD. Poorly-worded perhaps.
And now for something completely different: Is Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto covered in clipping, or was I imagining it? I have yet to examine any waveforms, but I seem to have noticed a distinct fizziness a couple of times while listening to it, which really doesn't fit the style (as if clipping ever does, but you know what I mean).

Just because a waveform visibly clips doesn't automatically mean it sounds bad...after all, this is HA, right?
Clipping, and its potential audibility, is always a matter of degree, whether in the "classic" sense of hitting the input to an A/D hard enough to produce overs, or in the more "modern" sense of utilizing a digital brickwall limiter. I've heard plenty of albums that have visible clipping throughout, but sound great (Aimee Mann's "Lost in Space" is a favorite example of mine). It's all a matter of the decisions made by the artist/producer/mixer/mastering engineer. Just because something *can* be misused and abused, and frequently is, doesn't mean it *has* to be.
It's interesting that Oasis's "Morning Glory" album was mentioned - I absolutely love the sound of that album. I think it's the perfect representation of *that* music being played by *that* band. Would the same production and mixing have worked for, say, Radiohead? Of course not, and vice versa. The sound on "Morning Glory" strikes me as a great example of Olde Skool analog production methods and equipment being used to great effect. It always makes me think of standing in a small rehearsal space with a good rock band going full tilt. It's just this huge mass of sound - DR0! - and the visceral impact is literally breathtaking.
Oh, and regarding heavily-clipped tracks - 3027 clips on a single track? Try The Chemical Brothers' "Setting Sun" - scanning it with the "Overcompressed CD" preset gives 88,805 clips...and it sounds like it.
"Not sure what the question is, but the answer is probably no."
