Guest Reviews
Thank you so much for such a memorable weekend here at your B & B! This was our first experience at a B & B and you both have set the standards for any other vacations we take. This was our 5 year anniversary "get away" and it was top notch, from the welcome from the two of you when we first pulled in, to the breakfast (amazing!) to the wine tour you had set up for us, to all the little details you both have put into such a wonderful home. We might have arrived as strangers, but we are leaving as friends! Until next year! XOXO
Kevin & Meganne
What a perfect location for a B&B. You helped us plan the best 4 day vacation, from the Colonial Belle on the Erie canal, to the wine trails in the Finger Lakes. Everything was only a short distance away. We can't wait till next year, there is so much more to see!
Faith and Keith
What a 'find' this has been for us! Your home is absolutely gorgeous, the grounds immaculate and serene, your warm welcome... We have been to many B&Bs and you have gone above and beyond all the amenities and extras! We look forward to returning.

Absolutely taken aback by the beauty and hospitality shown to us. My husband and I felt like we were welcomed as members of the family. The house and grounds are beautiful! Be sure to check out the wine bottle garden on the trails and ask Bob and Lynda why they used blue bottles. Its an interesting story. We couldn't have found a better place to spend our 5 year anniversary. Would have given more than 5 stars if possible!

Film: Here's a beautiful short by Miles Langley about the swimmers of London Fields Lido
We featured Madeleine Waller for her photographs of swimmers at London Fields Lido way back in 2010, so you can imagine our delight to find that these very charming images have been published in a book all of their own, entitled East London Swimmers, by Hoxton Mini Press.
And that's not even all! They also got filmmaker Miles Langley on board to create a short film to accompany the book's release, proving another outlet through which to tell the incredibly poignant story of one swimmer, Nick, who took up swimming at the outdoor pool to cure his fear of water following a narrow escape from the 2004 tsunami in Thailand. Miles' treatment of his subject is sensitive and touching, creating the context for the lives of Madeleine's swimmers without trying to steal any of the thunder.

Best Local Boxer St. Louis 2006 - Cory Spinks
What a difference six pounds makes. As a welterweight, Cory Spinks had to starve himself to stay below 147. Eating nothing but apples in the days leading up to his February 2005 title defense, Spinks was no match for a fresh Zab Judah. The loss kicked off a trying year for Spinks, a year in which his wife stabbed him amid press speculation that the former champ was one fight away from the scrap heap. Six pounds heavier and one weight class higher, it was a very different Spinks who stepped into the ring in July against International Boxing Federation junior-middleweight champ Roman Karmazin. Having spent the previous introspective weeks in Ohio training under coach Kevin Cunningham and accompanied by up-and-coming local brawler Devon Alexander, Spinks appeared strong and comfortable in his more-natural weight class and won the twelve-rounder by majority decision. A bout with Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather now seems predestined, though that marquee match-up will have to wait until Spinks faces 38-year-old journeyman Rodney Jones.

50 Ways "The Pill" Revolutionized the Lives of Women
May 10, 2010
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the birth control pill
On May 9, 2010, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the approval of the birth control pill. Over the past five decades, the Pill's impact has transformed the lives of women around the country. Here are some of the ways you have told us the Pill has revolutionized your lives:
- In high school, I had very painful & irregular periods. The pill certainly changed that.
- Just knowing the pill was available was so powerful! I actually had my tubes tied so I didn't need it, but I was very glad my daughters had an option!
- I started taking birth control after an ovarian cyst the size of a lemon sent me to the hospital. Thanks to the pill, I no longer develop these painful and reproductive-health threatening cysts.
- I used the pill in my late teens and early 20's to avoid pregnancy which I wasn't ready for at that time.
- The pill has allowed me to feel free and safe as a wife and a mother. I didn't have to go abroad for repeated abortions, like many of my older relatives. I have spaced my children's births, enjoyed my marriage without fear, and been able to work.
- I was on the pill for 10 years, from the time I was 18 until 28. It worked great for me, and let me take charge of my reproductive health. When I got off the pill to try for a baby, I got pregnant within two months! Behold the power of the pill!
- The pill arrived too late for me to use it. However I saw what it meant to women who for many reasons could not bear a child and who had previously gone to unsanitary places for illegal abortions that often went wrong, and were left to die in ditches alone.
- Without access to birth control, my ability to flourish in my educational and professional career would be severely limited. Thanks to the pill I have control over my reproductive health and can have children on my terms.
- When I was 16, my mom took me to the doctor to get the pill. It was one of the best things she ever did for me. I was the first in our family to graduate from college. Now, I'm married and pregnant and plan to do the same for our daughter when she's ready.
- My painful acne has cleared up, my PMDD is gone, and my periods are shorter. God Bless the Pill!
- Taking the pill lets me decide when I want to start a family. I am 30, married and happy without children, thanks to the pill.
- I got married in 1961 and was fortunate the pill had just become available. I graduated from college a year later & planned 3 of 4 children.
- The Pill ensures that my Aunt Flo always shows up when she's supposed to and never sneaks up on me unexpectedly!
- I was on the pill for years, it allowed me to decide when to have kids. I was not being forced to bear them, but had them by choice.
- I got pregnant at 18. I got pregnant again at 19 and had an abortion. The pill made it possible for me to finish college, pursue a career I enjoyed, and to have sex without fear of getting pregnant again.
- Thanks to BC I was able to have one planned child, able to leave my batterer and not be kept barefoot and pregnant. I defeated rampant job gender discrimination stating I would NOT be pregnant in five years. It saved my life.
- My husband and I both dreamed of serving in the Peace Corps, which is something you cannot do with small children. The pill gave us the opportunity to fulfill this lifelong goal and plan our family accordingly.
- I lost my virginity when I was a 19-year-old sophomore at UC Berkeley. I became pregnant with an ectopic pregnancy, but survived thanks to the University's hospital. Afterwards, I got on the pill and had no more ectopic pregnancies.
- I was the single mom of an infant trying to get started as a secretary after being on public assistance. I had tried other forms of birth control with many problems, and I would not have been able to get by if I'd had more children. Luckily, the pill worked for me.
- The pill allowed me to finish college.
- I was married in June of 1964 and immediately started putting my husband through college for the next 3 1/2 years so he could get his degree. The pill probably saved me from getting pregnant because my periods were very irregular. THANK YOU to the PILL!!
- The birth control pill gave me control over one small portion of my life. My husband at the time was Catholic. We never discussed it either...my body, my choice.
- When I was 17 I went for my very first annual exam while I was on my period. It was so heavy I had to go back, and the doctor suggested I get on BC even though I wasn't yet sexually active. Since then my periods are lighter and I have more energy.
- My husband and I are able to choose to remain childless because of the pill! And we love it!
- I use Yaz and have no complaints! It hasn't failed and it works like a charm on my PMDD and cystic acne.
- I use the pill to control my menstrual cycle because I have fibroids which cause blood clots, severe bleeding & anemia. Because of the pill I have fewer clots, my iron level is back up & my cycles are 3-5 days again.
- The pill was awesome with perimenopausal symptoms, plus I never had an unwanted pregnancy in my younger years
- The pill treated my horrific cramps and wildly irregular menstrual cycle. I also have partial complex seizures that are affected by my cycle and the medicine I take for them is estrogen-sensitive, so the pill has also helped keep my estrogens at a stable level. For me, a happy side-effect is no unwanted pregnancies!
- When I was 12, I began suffering from severe menstrual cramps that would keep me bed-ridden for about 2 days every month. I would finish a bottle of painkillers and sometimes my mother would call EMS because I was in so much pain. Not until I was 25 did my doctor recommend the pill! I wish I had known earlier because now I no longer need to call out from work or miss out on other things. The pill has alleviated all my pain and now I'm able to live a 'normal' life.
- Thanks to the pill, I only have two children - both are loved and both have been proud of what I've accomplished in my work life as an advocate.
- For me, the pill means employment security. I used to be knocked out by cramps for 30+ days each year! My thanks to the doctor who told me that working women just couldn't be successful if they were stuck in bed with cramps.
- I had really painful menstrual cycles and was later diagnosed with Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. I was in so much pain that was in and out of the hospital, my blood pressure and heart rate would spike, and I didn't feel like my doctor cared. I finally found the right doctor and was put on Lupron injections for three months and then got back on the pill. Now I'm pain free which means a lot to me.
- The pill saved my life. I was a lost, promiscuous teenager 35 years ago. My courageous mother put me on the pill when I was 15. She couldn't stop me from having sex, but because of the pill, and my mother, I did not get pregnant as a teen. Thanks to my amazing mom, and the pill!!
- My husband and I never wanted to have children, and thanks to the Pill, we never did. I'm a very happy Aunt, Great-Aunt, and Great-Great Aunt. We never regretted our decision. Thanks to the Pill, I got to live my own life, of my own choice, and I am grateful. I also never got PMS!
- I'm old now and no longer need the pill but remember well when we women didn't have it. Getting the pill gave women of my generation sexual freedom. We no longer had to worry about pregnancy each time we had sex. So instead of avoiding it for fear of pregnancy, we could relax, be ourselves and enjoy it as much as our partner. Fortunately, there are many options available for women now. Hopefully this generation won't go backward in time and lose that privilege.
- A few months ago, I had a baby. It's been a wild, exhausting, exhilarating ride. I don't know much yet about being a mother, but I do know one thing for sure: I am a better parent in my thirties than I would have been in my teens or twenties. Thank you, the Pill. Happy anniversary.
- I started taking the pill a few months before I lost my virginity. I wanted to be prepared when that *magical* moment came, and never for a second wanted to worry about becoming a teen mom.
- I've been with my husband since high school. He's the only sexual partner I've ever had. In the time we've been together we both graduated high school, college and grad school! Now we're moving abroad, and the pill will allow me to continue to not get pregnant until we are done with this adventure, back close to our families and ready to start our own family.
- In high school I used to pop emergency contraception like candy. In college I ended up pregnant and had to get an abortion. Now I'm on the pill and feel relieved to be working to prevent an unplanned pregnancy BEFORE I have sex.
- In college (many moons ago) I was on the pill, but when I cam home for the summer I didn't want my parents to find it. I ended up getting pregnant that summer. Now I think it would have been a lot easier to explain having the pill then telling my parents I was pregnant and needed an illegal abortion.
- After college I've bounced around from city to city, job to job. I am able to provide a pretty decent life for myself, but I kill plants and I can't imagine having a pet to take care of let alone a child. Access to birth control has made that one part of my hectic life I really haven't had to worry about.
- My boyfriend appreciates that my use of the pill not only helps us prevent an unplanned pregnancy, but also increased my cup size!
- I was in an abusive relationship. Luckily, my abuser didn't prevent me from taking the pill. Now that I am out of that relationship, I am so thankful not to have a child that would have tied me to my abuser forever.
- In high school I had horrific acne. Luckily my mom understood putting me on the pill to clear up my skin didn't mean I'd immediately start having sex. My skin cleared up, and I still waited until college to lose my virginity.
- For a long time I bounced around from pill to pill because I'm acutely susceptible to the hormone levels. I'm so happy to have so many options that my mother never had.
- Even though I'm a lesbian, I still use the pill. I like to think it is for positive reasons: clear skin, regular periods, etc. But in the back of my mind, I also know that if I was ever raped, at least I wouldn't have to worry about getting pregnant.
- I'm lucky. My mom put me on the pill early, so I don't know what not having it when I need it is like. But my mom has told me about when she was younger and she wasn't able to access the pill as a single woman. I thank my mom and the others who worked so hard to make sure access for my generation wasn't a struggle.
- I'm a provider who sees young women every day. I am proud that I am able to provide them with prescriptions for birth control. It is difficult being a young woman today and if I can make their lives one iota easier, I am happy and lucky to do that.
- During this recession I am worried about my job future. I am a proud mother and my husband and I would like another child. But now is not the time. I'm grateful that the pill can help us plan the appropriate time for the final addition to our family.
- My mom had me because she didn't have access to the pill. I love my mother and she's done all she can for me, but it was hard. Now I work to make sure other women are never faced with our hardship and that young women are aware of the availability of birth control.
While we are proud of this impressive list of the ways the birth control pill has positively impacted women's lives, we must also acknowledge that for some women the use of "the Pill" has not been without problems.
- I was on the Pill for years, but switched to an IUD. The Pill made me fat, but relieved PMS.
- I used the pill for many years, but I had to go off because I started getting high blood pressure. Now I worry what it has done to my body. Not to mention how they get the hormones they use in it. Other forms can have bad effects too. We need safer BC.
We must continue the work to make sure birth control works for every woman.

Lyoto Machida:
Lyoto Machida: I think its best for me to focus on this fight and Ill welcome whatever comes to me in the future.
Posted by Brendhan Conlan on Thursday, November 4, 2010
A year ago former UFC light heavyweight champ Lyoto Machida was viewed as being close to unbeatable based on his polished approach to MMA and a unique style of stand-up allowing him to dish out damage while receiving little in return. However, after losing his belt by way of first-round knockout to Mauricio Shogun Rua last May, questions began to surface about whether or not his reputation had been built more on hype than actual ability.
Machida will have a chance to answer his critics in a little more than two weeks when he faces another former 205-pound champion, Quinton Rampage Jackson, at UFC 123 just outside of Detroit, Michigan. The Dragon recently spoke to Tatame about his upcoming bout with Jackson, as well as his experience recently training at a well-known American gym and a number of other subjects relating to his future.
I always think for a MMA fight, despite the specialties of each fighter, you have to be prepared for anything, because we can never know what the guy is up to, Machida responded when asked about how he is approaching the headlining affair. A guy who doesnt know how to kick may be kicking on the following fight you cant tell for sure. The need leads the frog to a jump.
We have many examples of people who are good on areas that arent their specialties, he continued. Georges St. Pierre has improved his wrestling a lot people that didnt kick are now kicking and so it goes I dont underestimate any fighter. I think that, just as Im prepared for anything during the fight, so are they: the stand-up game, the takedowns and the ground game. Of course we have our game plan set our strong point is karate and the exchanges, but if we need to use the other skills, we will do the takedowns and the ground game
When questioned on whether or not he anticipates to stand more than defend Jacksons takedowns, Machida stated, I think that Jackson always comes for the striking, independently of his opponent He always tries to impose his game, so itll be up to me because hell try to use his boxing and I have to try to block his game and impose mine.
However, while Machidas immediate attention is on Jackson, he acknowledged not only his interest in eventually breaking the 1-1 tie between himself and Rua but the possibility of eventually mixing it up with relative youngsters Jon Jones and/or Ryan Bader.
Of course, he replied on the subject of the twenty-somethings. I believe that this new generation is a really conditioned generation, (and) has begun to build the pillars for being a great fighter theyre great athletes that are popular and now me, Rashad Evans, Rampage and Shogun will have to face those guys.
On the subject of a rubber-match between himself and Rua, the 32-year old made it clear his current focus is only on Rampage, saying, I think one step at a time. People talk about Shogun and I dont keep thinking about Shogun hes long gone now. Now I have to think about my next challenge because sometimes we keep thinking about the future, but we cant even make the next step, so I think I have to be prepared and I cant underestimate anyone. Now Ill have to face Jackson and there are many factors to consider before I have a title shot. I think its best for me to focus on this fight and Ill welcome whatever comes to me in the future.
Machida also spoke about having recently spent some time at American Kickboxing Academy home to a number of respected UFC competitors and how it was to work alongside UFC heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez.
Its not the first time Ive trained (at) AKA its the second time I went to train there. Ive spent three weeks training there and I think its really important that you train along with guys who are fighting on the same level as you Velasquez was a nice guy to me from the start hes shown me his game and (when) I left there I knew he had a great chance of becoming the champion.
Machida is 16-1 with victories in the first sixteen fights of his career including notable wins over Tito Ortiz, the afore-mentioned Evans, and Thiago Silva, as well as a somewhat controversial unanimous decision over Shogun at UFC 104 a little more than a year ago.

Best of AOP - Galaxies
M51 (Whirlpool)
A spiral galaxy very similar to our own Milky Way, seen face-on. There are a couple of hundred billion stars here. The dark splotches are dust clouds, and the tiny pink spots are star forming regions, where new stars (and probably solar systems) are born.
The bright object to the right is another galaxy, a small barred spiral captured by M51. Eventually, they will merge, making a single large galaxy (probably very distorted from its present state). Both galaxies are about 35 million light-years away.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) - University of Northern Iowa professors are asking the Iowa Board of Regents for salary increases in each of the next two years.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported Monday that the United Faculty bargaining team is seeking a 2.25 percent in increase in base salary and an additional 2.25 percent increase based on the average of all professors' salaries. The increase would begin in July 2013 and again in 2014.
The team made its request Friday to the Regents bargaining team. The Regents will respond with an offer on Nov. 26.
The faculty team also made requests for other areas, including calls for the Faculty Senate to regularly address the Regents and changes in how staff reductions are handled.

Probably because so many of the so-called "pro-lifers" are really just "anti-abortion." They don't give a fig about the babies and children once they are born. They don't support food programs for children, funding for schools, medical insurance for children, etc., etc., etc.
Dave: I question your assertion that most of "those professions need at least a two year degree or some kind of post-secondary training." Waitresses? Cooks? Construction workers? Sales persons?
It is totally ridiculous, IMO, to even try to teach 'college level' skills to all students---especially to those who are unable or unwilling to learn to that level.
Why does everyone need to have second year algebra (in high school)? I dare say that 80% of adults, or more, never use algebra in any way in their occupations. Never have had to, and never will. I have a master's degree and a good job, and I have never had to use algebra in my work, ever! The only persons I know who have ever used algebra in their work are engineers, and they don't use it very much any more either.
How useless is it to be able to figure the height of a flag pole by measuring the length of its shadow and the angle of the sun? Or to figure the surface area of a cylindrical gas storage tank on a farm, to know how many gallons of red paint to buy to paint it? (Just buy what you, or the salesperson thinks will be enough paint, and if it isn't enough buy some more, or take back any unused unopened cans of paint. Simple.)
Better to teach the kids basic accounting (used to be called bookkeeping), and fundamentals of family economics and investing. Algebra is useless for most students.
The only real use for learning second-year algebra is so that, years later as a parent, you can help your own kids learn second-year algebra---so they can someday help their kids learn second-year algebra, and on and on and on and on.
Little-Duckie: What an insightful and creative response! BRAVO!! Loved it.
No, it's not setting the bar low. It's recognizing reality, and conserving scarce resources.
We don't need, and probably never will need, to have a majority of graduates be 'college ready.' Plumbers, cooks, auto mechanics, assembly workers, sales people, construction workers, truck drivers, etc., etc.---we need those occupations, too, but they don't need to have college educations to do.
Unless the individual has the inner drive and determination, and the work-ethic, to do college-level work, we are wasting time and resources trying to drum it into them.
I think you will find that most so-called "remedial education" college classes are actually taught by adjunct (part-time) instructors, not by professors (full-time faculty)---usually at bargain basement rates of pay (like maybe 10-25% of what a regular professor would be paid).
These part-timers are likely to be retired high school teachers, or current high-school teachers who are moonlighting, picking up a few extra bucks.
As such, these remedial classes are big net money-makers for the universities. Students pay the same tuition rates, but the cost to the university is way less.
Unless, and until, we as a society are willing to address the real problems (poverty, absent- or inadequate-parenting, materialistic instant-gratification poor-work-ethic student attitudes, etc.), we will never solve our "education problem." Emphasize the "never" part.
You can fire or change out every teacher, every administrator, every janitor, every lunch-worker, every school counselor or librarian---it won't matter at all, unless we do things to improve the lives of our nation's families, and build up the idea of a strong work-ethic, and really value education and knowledge (not just give lip-service).
Color-coding schools, mass-scale standardized testing, rigid inflexible curriculum---none of these will ultimately work. It's just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic; the boat is still sinking. It just makes it look like the politicians are doing something, but it's the wrong recipe.
Politicians and religious charlatans are equally guilty: telling the masses that there are simplistic solutions to complex problems and issues. We need to value education, knowledge, and science. Not the anti-scientific garbage that is spewed out on the mostly-right-wing propaganda media.
The message needs to get out that personal sacrifice and sustained effort for longer-term goals, can be a strategy for personal success.
And we need to recognize that not all students need to be "college ready" (whatever that means). Many don't want to go to college, and don't have either the aptitude or the desire (or the work-ethic) to do college work. Probably we will never need to have more than 50% of our work force having college degrees. I agree that we should give every kid a chance (if they want to, and are willing to work for it) to get a college degree. But let's not waste time or resources trying to get all (or even most) kids "college ready." At some point, young people have to make the choice.
Headline is still wrong. It was 41-25 score (as the newsstory indicates), not 41-19 (as the headline states)
Also, did you notice that in the Friday print edition (at least in the one delivered to my house),the headline referred to the SPIRIT (the hockey team), not to the STING (the football team). I know it's confusing; they play in the same arena.
And the championship game is in THREE weeks, not two. Today is May 11; then there's May 18 (one week), May 25 (2 weeks), and then June 2 (3 weeks and 1 day).
The sting play an away game next week, then have two weeks to prepare for the championship game, June 2 at the Dow.
Uh, Kyle, the final score was actually 41-25.
Were you at the game? I was.
Sloppy headline writer: it's pet oxygen MASKS, not pet oxygen MAKES
In a couple of years we will have accumulated data to make a year-by-year comparison of motorcycle deaths and injuries, to compare the helmet-law-years, with the post-helmet-law years.
But I think we all know what the data will show, unfortunately.
Actually, I don't give a fig about Hudsonville, one way or the other. It is an older suburban community, that progress is passing by. Hudsonville is part of a regional urban area and regional economy. Available affordable public transportation will be vital for a future where the population is older and less able to drive cars. The region will survive without Hudsonville's participation---but Hudsonville won't thrive.
Hudsonville has always been "out of it"---and will continue to be. It's just not a progressive and moving-forward community; there's no particular reason for anyone to want to live there.
As our population becomes older, with more non-driving senior citizens, and auto transportation becomes more and more expensive, areas with access to regional public transportation will thrive; those without access will decline. Inevitably.
Mr. Perfect: We're not talking about "everything" being "put out for a public vote" here. The run-of-the-mill ordinary management and policy decisions are the ones a representative board decides and votes on. We are talking here about a very small millage, to continue to provide an existing public service that county voters have shown they wanted by voting millage for it many times in the past.
In fact, such a millage is NOT something the board of commissioners can actually vote on themselves, "yes" or "no," Only the voters can decide to levy a millage on themselves.
The seven commissioners who voted against even putting the matter on the ballot for the voters to decide are actually being very anti-democratic---and denying the voters the opportunity to decide whether to tax themselves to continue this service, or not. I guess they are afraid that voters might actually want to continue funding the hospital. So it appears, that they don't really care what the voting public thinks.
That's why I called those commissioners "chicken-sh_ _" -- because that's exactly what it is.
What a bunch of chicken-_ _ _ _ garbage from the county commissioners! Not even willing to LET THE VOTERS DECIDE!
Put the darn thing on the ballot. It's a democracy, you know, let the people decide if they want to pay the tax or not. What are the silly-7 afraid of?
Children in school busses are very safe without seat belts. There is no appreciable gain in safety with seatbelts on school busses, and some real increased dangers from improperly attached or broken belts. The seats are padded and close together, which provides a safety cocoon, Besides school buses are pretty big solid vehicles compared to cars, etc., which provides an extra margin of safety.
Hmmm, let's see here. The $20,000 medical insurance policy amount should be all used up in, oh, about an hour or two (maybe less) of expensive emergency room head trauma treatment. After that, it's gonna be paid by the hospital or the state (Medicaid). so ultimately by every one who will have higher medical insurance premiums and higher state taxes to take care of those living vegetables for the rest of their lives.
I say, if you were stupid enough to not wear a helmet, then when the $20K is spent, the hospitals should be required to dump you on the front steps and let your kinfolk come and get you. Or the undertaker. I don't care which.
to paul7777: You must be a pretty desperate and angry fellow. How can such programs continue, without their millage renewals (even at lower levels). We are not talking about millage increases here.
But on behalf of the 100 billion mosquitoes in our region and their future descendents, I would like to thank you very much!
This matter will be in the courts for years. It is an unconstitutional infringement on the right to vote. There is virtually NO evidence of voter fraud now, so this is a solution in search of a problem.
It's just an underhanded shameful attempt to reduce voter turnout by the poor and elderly in society, many of whom don't drive and don't have photo ID's. Future historians will look with disdain and ridicule on the GOP for doing such a thing. It's in the same category as denying women and slaves the right to vote in the past, or requiring voters to pay a "poll tax" in order to vote. Not a good example for the U.S. around the world, where we are trying to convince developing nations that democracy is the better way.
I guess Republicans are really, really afraid of what Americans will vote for, if we allow them all to vote. History will ultimately consign such Neanderthals (i.e., those fearful Republicans) to the dustbin of history.
Dumb move by the GOP, but totally predictable. They NEVER have cared about ordinary workers, anyway, and would outlaw all unions everywhere in Michigan if they could.

Metoda Pengkonstruksian Persegi Ajaib

A magic square of order n is an n by n matrix with distinct nonnegative integer with the property that the sum of the numbers in each row, each column and the main and back diagonals is same. This sum is the magic sum. In this paper we will discuss some methods to construct the first n2 positive integers for magic squares. The first method that will be established is Latin square Decomposition. Some magic squares can be derived directly with this method. Other methods that also will be discussed are trial and error method, De La Loubére construction, Strachey construction, and product construction. Finally we conclude that for all positif integers n, n ¹ 2, it can be constructed a magic square of order-n

When those JW's show up on my front step with tats and pants on the ground, I will be shootin' first and tellin' the cops what happened later. Just sayin' (as they say in the hood).
We need to tax the rich at a higher level. We cannot fund all these programs without more funds. They are just keeping the cash hidden. Michael Moore says that this is a "National Treasure" and that we just need to figure out a way to get at it. Let's go for it!
PS: Not sure what will happen when all the money is spent, but we can figure that out later.
We need more funding to stop this ridiculous behavior.
I say raise property taxes and start a program for the prevention of bus riding misbehavior.
When I was a kid our school district spent unknown sums on a very effective program. I am not sure how much those dog leashes cost that my dad had, but they certainly worked. And only one application was needed, I might add.
These children are misguided. Since the Commonwealth is out of money, not to mention the Union, there are only two directions for these beggars to address their grievances for a free or discounted education. First, they should try to convince 'Big Education" to reduce the fees for tuition. When was the last time that happened? Second, the youngsters should pound on the doors of the evil senior citizens and demand higher property taxes. We all know that they are not contributing enough. I am sure they all have big sacks of cash hidden under their mattresses just waiting for confiscation for the the betterment of society, just ask the local school districts.
I am in awe of how you blue kool-aid drinkers so often criticize Mr. Jones of anti-PSU bias yet are so quick to point out how the Columbus media show a blind eye (ala Mr. Crist). David Jones is probably the best beat writer and/or columnist in Big 10 (12) territory. You all have no appreciation. He always calls it as he sees it, even if it involves his alma mater.
You all continue to exhibit your delight in "Schadenfreude" (some of you may have to look this up even though it ingrained in your DNA).
I am so glad I escaped Pennsyltucky!
Nice try to defame.
Milt Campbell played for Indiana, same state, wrong school.
Maybe you had him confused with Stafford Campbell from TX who played on the Varsity in 1889 or the Campbell brothers from Norfolk who played on the squad in the early 2000's.
I am sure you are just mistaken.
"There are only three true sports: mountain climbing, bull fighting, and auto racing" - Ernest Hemingway
the key text was when BK told the kid that if went to the PA ag school he would have to sit on the bench for the first two years and change JoePa's diapers at halftime
just watched the replay on espn
joe is still yelling at ginger!
Shendoh da F, 462!
Nice list of your four most hated teams. I notice that all of these schools have more national championships, all-Americans, academic all-Americans, Heisman winners, graduation rate success, Rhodes scholars, Fulbright scholarships, Nobel Prize winners, national and international recognition, etc. and also much more cordial fans (excepting Miami) than your ag-state school. Your list is obviously generated by envy, one of the seven deadly sins. Are you also doing the sloth and gluttony thing?
Apparently, PSU needs a rival. These schools listed only now know of Penn State as just another Big 10 school. Go back to your roots where the eastern schools mattered and the Saturday games meant so much more.
Still looking for a rival are you? You left the east for the mid-west and became just another Big Ten team, mostly irrelevant to the rest of the country.
Nebraska fans have too much class to have anything to do with Penn State and their classless fans. Just ask any Husker fan how they were treated on their last visit to State College. Purely reprehensible!
Good luck in your search. Maybe a MAC team or a 1-AA team needs a rival but you might have to play an away game to get that started. I am sure Pitt will be able to make room on their schedule but that will have to wait until JoePa is coaching from the clouds.
I live in NC after stepping out of the PA cave last year. What a difference! We can actually buy beer and wine at the grocery store. Wide selections of wine, and beer by the case, 12 pack, 6 pack, or even singles. For our party last weekend, we purchased make-your-own six packs of varying brands. One of the selections was not very good ... at least I am not stuck with 23 bottles of it sitting in the garage.
When my boys came to visit last spring they set out on a beer run, asking where the nearest beer store was ... poor boys raised in such a backwards commonwealth. Then they were shocked to find Yuengling at only 15.99 a case. I cannot remember paying less than 23.99 in Central PA, and we are now 400 miles further form Pottsville!
bowdenfan - you are so right! Look what that idiot Kelly did to Cincy (city in Big Ten territory for you penssyltuckians) when he installed the spread. Did they even win a game last year?
Spot on wallynut. Curley is an enabler just like all the previous PSU AD's. Schedule Temple for 20 plus wins, schedule Maryland for 20 plus wins, schedule MAC teams for 20 plus wins, schedule 1-AA teams for another dozen wins, schedule directional or airport (remember that one) schools for another dozen wins, schedule bottom feeders from other conferences for another 20 plus wins, then feast on the bottom feeders from the Big 11 (half the teams in a conference are losers) and, Presto! you are easily half way to the all time winning record as a coach if you live long enough. Look it up before commenting, you sycophants!
I played soccer in both high school and college and made it to the playoffs each year. The game is a joy to play, but to be honest, rather dull to watch unless you understand what the participants are attempting to achieve as they progress the ball up the filed. There is little joy for the fan except when a goal is scored, which is not very often, or when the outcome is a win. Just watch the faces on the players and fans when you catch one of these WC games. Nothing but anguish, frustration, disappointment, anger, etc. Americans cannot live like that! When you watch baseball, football, etc. there are so many moments of joy and celebration so as to make the experience enjoyable that even a losing outcome is tempered. Sport should be a fun and enjoyable escape from the reality of life. We strive to make life enjoyable. Why force anguish and disappointment into the sporting life? It can be said that soccer is not the American way of life. It appears to fit just fine with socialists, communists, and defeatists. Still, I will be strapping on my boots tomorrow afternoon for an adult league game. Just for the joy of playing and the exercise. I hope no one is on the sideline expecting an enjoyable moment.
Here is how JoePa has proposed the groups:
Group Paterno:
Penn State
Group Others:
Ohio State
Michigan State
This will be consistent with the two decades scheduling history of a guaranteed 9 win season (probably 4 1-AA teams or MAC teams for OCC) and a shot at 1 or 2 other games plus a spot in the Conference Championship Game. Pity the fool who follows JoePa and then has to play a real schedule.
Quit complaining people! Pack up and move out of the northeast. The liberal democrats and unions have destroyed the socio-economics and there is little hope for any correction. I moved south last year and have already saved over $40k in state, local, and school taxes. Same lifestyle, same size house, same income!
If you can't sell your house, just leave it for the pavement dwellers ... it will be worth it.
Sounds like a great guy! I met another member of that Maryland team a few years back at a McD function. His daughter is a McD mom. My father was with me and the two old timers got to razzin' each about whose team was best. My dad's team was also undefeated that year having beaten two top-ranked teams and tying another. They beat Oklahoma soundly in Norman, the same team which swamped Maryland in the Orange Bowl. The AP and UPI should have voted again after that fiasco. All other polls and publications gave the unofficial title to ND. At least the old football players were able to compare NC rings from different schools with the same year stamped on them. It seems all those guys from that era are wonderful to be around. Lots of great stories and no cockiness.
I was at that '81 AFC Championship Game. My future wife's first pro game ... she has not attended one since. I also met my future brother-in-law that day. He had no shirt on and painted orange. He is still nuts. If I recall, the Bengals trounced the Chargers a few weeks earlier out in sunny SoCal in the regular season so the weather argument may not have merit
A week later we went to the Super Bowl. What should have been a 3 hour drive from South Bend took nearly 12! We got into the Silver Dome minutes before kick-off. Also, many kids from campus had tickets to see the concert the night before (Motown stuff) and never made it. This is definitely a bad idea. I wonder what Al Gore thinks.

33 CMA Music Festival fans added this band.+ Add Band
The Field Larks, Analeise Reeves (of Monroe, LA) and Keely Raquel (of Panama City Beach, FL) came to Nashville separately, in pursuit of the recording artist dream. Following a chance encounter at a Nashville Sounds baseball game, where Keely was performing the National Anthem, the two quickly realized that their paths were more than just parallel; they were one in the same.
The spunky blonde bombshells spent the next few weeks writing and singing together. It was clear that the way their voices had an undeniable blend was the making of something special.
One of the first songs they wrote, "The Light Weight (Skinnygirl)", made its way on the blog of Bethenny Frankel, creator of Skinnygirl products. A music video was spawned, and attracted the attention of several music row insiders.
In early 2013, the Field Larks signed with Big Yellow Dog music. They continue to spend their time songwriting and playing shows locally, building on rapidly increasing buzz.
I watched this young girl Keely grow and spread her wings from Panama City Beach Fl to Nashville .What a beautiful talented young lady you are. I Love you forever and always.I told you that morning when you came blasting down the stairs for me and Aunt Lisa to hear the songs you had wrote that you my dear were going places in life and look where you are now!!! I am and will always be your biggest fan. Aunt Lisa is watching over you today tomorrow and always she would be soooo proud of you. Love Kim Sullivanksspcb69 , about 2 years ago

Technote (troubleshooting)
In the following scenario you might not be able to synchronize the node configuration with the deployment manager in a clustered environment and may receive error message SECJ0373E.
- You created a WebSphere Process Server deployment manager profile that is automatically configured with a file-based repository (global security enabled).
- At least one custom node was federated to the cell. The node includes the security configuration that is set on the deployment manager.
- The node agent of the federated custom node is up and running.
- You change the user name of the system administrator or operator role in the file-based repository.
The information contained in this document has been moved to developerWorks Answers located here. This technote will be archived in 60 days. Please bookmark the new location.
After you change the user name of the system administrator, the node synchronization on the custom profile fails. The failure occurs whether you enable automatic node synchronization or you synchronize nodes manually using the administrative console or the syncNode command. The following runtime exception is logged in the SystemOut.log file of the node agent:
[1/1/09 10:10:10:100 CEST] 00000001 RoleBasedAuth A SECJ0305I: The role-based authorization check failed for admin-authz operation NodeSync:isNodeSynchronized. The user wpsadmin (unique ID: wpsadmin) was not granted any of the following required roles: adminsecuritymanager, deployer, administrator, operator, monitor, configurator.
[1/1/09 10:10:10:200 CEST] 00000001 LTPAServerObj E SECJ0373E: Cannot create credential for the user <null> due to failed validation of the LTPA token. The exception is com.ibm.websphere.wim.exception.EntityNotFoundException: CWWIM4001E The 'uid=wpsadmin,o=defaultWIMFileBasedRealm' entity was not found.
In a security-enabled environment, you must provide the user name and password for stopping the server. The new user for the administrator or operator role is not yet propagated to the federated node. Therefore, the operation fails.
When you change the user name of the system administrator or operator in the current repository (for example, file-based or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)), the change immediately takes effect on the deployment manager. The new user configuration is not changed in the repository, but it is changed in the WebSphere Application Server security configuration files. At this point, the node still uses the previously configured user name for synchronization and authorization because it is not synchronized with the new security configuration. Subsequently, attempt to synchronize the node fail.
This problem occurs in a clustered environment and with all supported user registries.
Resolving the problem
When you change the user name of the system administrator or operator role, make sure that at least one user is mapped to this role. To solve the problem, follow these instructions:
- Stop all of the node agents of all custom nodes that are federated to the cell.
- Log in to the administrative console of the deployment manager.
- Verify that at least one user is available in the repositories and is mapped to the administrator or operator role. The information in the user repository is not changed. Mappings to the security roles are stored in configuration files only.
- Save the changes to the master configuration.
- On each node agent, run the syncNode command manually.
After all of the nodes are synchronized with the configuration of the deployment manager, synchronization works properly. To avoid the problem, use one of the following workarounds:
- Keep the current administrative user in the repository. Map an additional user to the administrator or operator role. Recycle the environment to make the new user available to all nodes, and then delete or rename the old user account.
- Instead of mapping user names to the administrative roles, use a group of users. As long as multiple users members of the group are in the repository, you can synchronize the nodes using another user name.

Very good organic fruit

Posted by Reviewer1342706 on Feb 20, 2013
I see some reviewers don't like the color -- color and softness come with sulfur dioxide and I avoid that at all costs. I love this brand of organic dried fruit -- needing color is a problem with overdiscrimination of the mind, not the fruit. I have tried them all, and I appreciate a company that will provide me with an organic apricot or raisin (etc.) at a reasonable cost, because they are normally very high in pesticides. I have overcome lupus by avoiding pesticides, chemicals and other means. So, hats off to Made in Nature, and iherb for stocking this brand.

those who complain about the color should educate themselves first : ORGANIC dry fruits shouldn't have any bright coloring in them due to absence of any harmful sulfates.
great price for good product. when mi order i buy 4-8 packs! good snack :)

This just might be the week the music industry changes forever. Fresh on the heels of Radiohead digitally releasing their seventh album, In Rainbows, and offering fans the chance to pay whatever they want for the download, Madonna is reportedly close to leaving her long-time home, Warner Brothers, to sign with Live Nation. If you've been to a stadium show any time recently, you'll probably recognize Live Nation's name — they're a concert-promoting business, and they're betting $100 million on Madonna's power as a performer (the Material Girl gets half up front). It's a solid bet: Her tour last year grossed about $195 million. Even if she's pushing the big Five-O, Madonna's still money in the bank. This will make her only the latest in a long string of artists to have bucked tradition in favor of something weirder and more dynamic. We refer you to:
- The Eagles (yes, we actually just wrote the words The Eagles in a VH1 blog) are selling their new album directly to Wal-Mart.
- Not only did Starbucks release Paul McCartney's latest, the coffee conglomerate also seduced Sonic Youth. The New York art rockers, whose contract is up with Geffen, will release Hits Are For Squares exclusively through the beanery.
- Dissatisfied with simply forgiving Third World debt and editing Vanity Fair, Bono really is writing the Broadway musical version of Spider-Man.
- Rufus Wainwright wants to be Judy Garland, and he's hellbent on making it happen.
- Gina Gershon released an album. Crazy times!

Forward Together Gets Lift From Freeze, Hits $45 Million
Dec. 19, 2011
OXFORD, Miss. – Since the hiring of Hugh Freeze as the Rebels' 37th head football coach just three weeks ago, the Forward Together campaign has felt the Ole Miss family's renewed sense of energy and optimism and reached another milestone, hitting the $45 million mark.
"There is no doubt that Coach Freeze has re-energized our fan base, and that we can attribute recent CGA commitments and capital gifts to the newest member of the Ole Miss family," said Danny White, UMAA Foundation Executive Director. "Additionally, the performance of our basketball team has people really excited about the future of that program, and when you couple that with the prospect of a brand new, state-of-the-art basketball facility, our fans see that we are on the verge something really special."
Another surge in commitments is anticipated as the January 6 deadline to sign and return football CGAs approaches.
"For those who have seats in CGA sections and want to retain those seats for the future, it's really important that they sign and return their CGA by January 6," White said.
For those interested in premium seating options in the new arena, the January 6 deadline is vital for purposes of priority when it comes time to select seats in the facility.
"There is a lot of enthusiasm surrounding the new arena and the interest in premium seating and hospitality areas has been tremendous," said White.
Similar to a Personal Seat License (PSL), commonly found in professional leagues, the Capital Gift Agreement (CGA) provides donors some ownership over their seats. With benefits like transfer rights and donation guarantees for 10 years, CGA holders acquire rights that are not common in college athletics.
In addition to capital gift commitments through the CGA program, the UMAA Foundation continues to seek philanthropic support for the campaign.
"We are having some great conversations with individuals who want to step up and provide leadership gifts to make sure this campaign is a success," White said. "They see this as an opportunity to establish their legacy and help usher in a new era in Ole Miss Athletics, very similar to the exemplary commitment recently made by Will Galtney to our tennis program. In time we expect to be announcing similar gifts to the Forward Together campaign."
Contributions to the campaign can be made by committing to a CGA for football and/or basketball seating. In addition, 100 percent tax deductible donations can be made through either the Five Star Fund or Vaught Society. For more information, please contact the UMAA Foundation at (662) 915-7159 or visit www.forwardtogetherrebels.com.
For information on the Vaught Society or Naming Rights opportunities, please contact the UMAA Foundation and ask to speak with a member of our major gifts staff.

Freshman Urban Program (FUP)
- Congratulations to the 2015 FUP Coordinators Annie Kuan and Carrington Motley!
- FUP Counselor Applications will be accepted until February 17th. All underclassmen are welcome to apply — no previous FUP experience required. Please apply here.
The Freshman Urban Program (FUP) is a freshman pre-orientation program that introduces students to MIT and the surrounding community through service activities and discussion of urban issues. FUP participants learn the "who's who and what's where" at MIT, in Cambridge, and in Boston.
Projects have included service such as cleaning and preparing elementary school classrooms for the new school year, gardening with CitySprouts, and working at the Boston Rescue Mission. Community service combined with urban exploration provides incoming students with the means to meet people and to get involved in the community. Students discover resources to help them become leaders at MIT, and they develop valuable friendships that sustain them when the stresses of the semester begin.
Upperclassmen serve as FUP coordinators and counselors, planning and training for the program throughout the spring and summer, and leading FUP during the five-day program.
More information about pre-orientation and orientation: http://web.mit.edu/firstyear/
More information about FUP: http://fup.mit.edu, email firstname.lastname@example.com, stop by the PSC in 4-104, or phone us at 617-253-0742.

It's been almost a year since my interest on Discord dwindled and updates were no longer being posted. Meanwhile I had been working on a new 3d engine for most of this year and a couple months from the previous year. Despite Unity being a great engine and very capable of this game, I have decided to use my custom engine for it and put a more organized effort.
These are the consequences/benefits of the engine change that I expect to see.
- No longer playable on the web.
- Will now support Linux because the engine uses cross platform APIs such as SDL and OpenGL. (unity might support Linux now too, but I'm not entirely sure)
- More optimizations possible because I have access to the source code of the actual engine.
- A boost in mod-ability because of the previous reason.
Game-play should stay similar to the old version of Discord.
It looks like you have a good framework going.

Googly Eyebombing
By Kristen Chase.
For April Fool's Day, I decided that it might be fun to do a little eyebombing with the kids.
Have you heard about this? It's a hilarious game where people put googly eyes on inanimate objects.
I first learned about it from a friend who shared a hilarious flickr pool of photos with vegetables that someone had put googly eyes on at the grocery store.
I nearly died from laughter.
Take a peek at the official Eyebombing website (and flickr pool) though, I suggest using the restroom first if you're like me and have had several children.
The bladder just isn't what it used to be.
So, prompted by Marie's recent post over at Make and Takes about having a little fun with eye bombing, I thought it might be a little fun to do a bit of our own.
For our version, we stayed outside and kept our googly eyes on public property, removing them after we took a picture so not to litter, though we did leave a few surprises for our neighbors with a sense of humor. And my kids decided it wasn't fair for the objects to not have a nose or a mouth, so they figured out ways to add those too.

That looks like great fun, but I can hear the British Health and Safety people even as I read. Anything to squash the laughter. xx

That looks like a blast! I may have to pick up a bag of them for my teen to have fun with–he has an amazing sense of humor and I bet he could come up with some hilarious "googles"!
Jen@anothergranolamom On Tuesday, April 3 at 6:51 am
Cute pictures, and sounds like fun. Thanks for telling us you picked up the googly eyes after you took the pictures — the first thought I had was: It might not be funny after parts of them have washed away in July and the stickers are still on the tree.

This Ozark Farm Chick has never heard of eye~bombin'….I do so need to get off the Ponderosa more often!!! This would be a great activity for Camp Grandma this year. I'm sure the Super Eight would be most creative and besides, it's great blog fodder. :o)
Ya'll know one cannot have too much blog fodder! 'Just sayin'………
God bless ya'll from the rainy hills and hollers of the beautiful Missouri Mountains! :o)

Several weeks ago, my kids noticed some googly-eyes on a fire hydrant in our little old Montana town. They look for them every day on the way to swim practice. No one's bothered to take them off. How funny. Who knew it was a national thing? Thanks for sharing.

I put googly-eyes on the plants in the office. Few people notice but they are funny just the same. I got the idea from a hilarious skit on Saturday Night Live with Christopher Walken where he was raising tropical plants and complaining they were watching him. The plants had googly-eyes and he talked about their personalities. It is so funny.
Mountain Mama On Tuesday, April 3 at 9:05 pm
That skit is the first thing I thought of when I saw this post! I just saw it for the first time the other night– hilarious!
Liesel On Tuesday, April 3 at 9:07 am
Cute. Hope the little birds or squirrels don't eat them from the flowers or trees. The hydrant is funny though. I wonder if a safe chalk may be fun on the trees.
kellymarie On Tuesday, April 3 at 9:20 am
so cute
Jessica Custer On Tuesday, April 3 at 10:03 am
That funny. Im' gonna have to try this at home!

I think I should eyebomb my own abdomen prior to my surgery in three weeks. Wonder if the two surgeons and nurses would chuckle? I'm laughing just thinking about it!!!
Beth On Tuesday, April 3 at 10:51 am
I can't HANDLE the googly eyes! sooo funny! (and gives me an idea or two..)
marj On Tuesday, April 3 at 11:09 am
Thank you for bringing this up. I'd heard of it a long time ago, and I agree, it is hilarious and fun.
At that time I had two bags of googlies in my craft tote which I have made good use of.
The staple remover was first; and I can attest that it does do a good job keeping watch over my desk in my absence.
Annie Rae On Tuesday, April 3 at 11:49 am
I'm glad you pick up the eyes, because I know a cranky old man that works for the city here, that would go out of his way to issue a ticket to anyone affixing things to the city fire-hydrants!
Such fun!
Amy @ A Little Nosh On Tuesday, April 3 at 12:32 pm
Love the flower!!
Mary P On Tuesday, April 3 at 12:44 pm
Oh my gosh! I read the heading very quickly and I thought I read "Google Embalming" When I started to read the article that you did this for April Fool's with your kids, I thought "What kook thought this was appropriate?" I guess that was a REAL April Fool's on me! Self-inflicted, no less!
Amanda On Tuesday, April 3 at 3:45 pm
That looks like so much fun! My boys would love that! I guess I'll be going to find some googly eyes so we can prank their grandparents!
Barb D On Tuesday, April 3 at 4:58 pm
Thanks for sharing. My kids and I will definitely be giving this a try!
Sue On Tuesday, April 3 at 6:06 pm
My darling husband and I did this once upon a time. We got some googly eyes from the Sunday School supply cupboard and put them in places that we thought our pastor would enjoy. My favorite was the pair we put on the microphone on the pulpit. I still remember the exact second that he noticed them. And that was at least 33 years ago, when we were in our teens.
Christine B On Wednesday, April 4 at 7:37 am
The kids and I went out today and spent hours having fun doing this! Thank you for the suggestion…now all my friends are going out with their kids!
lynne moore On Wednesday, April 4 at 10:05 am
Ahh! So much fun. We did this at a party my Uncle had. His girlfriend had placed some different sized googly-eyes around and my daughter started putting them everywhere. And practiciing her digi-camera skills too. But it's fun to imagine the different personalities they have as you move the eyes to different places.
I have also seen a fake mustasche on a fire hydrant in our neighborhood. You know, it just brightens up your day to recognize something a little surprising.
Carmen On Wednesday, April 4 at 5:58 pm
I got sticky back eyes and googly eyed all my condiments in the fridge. It's funnier if your kids are little and you pretend not to see the eyes. Much laughter follows freaks out my parents and in-laws a little hahaha!!
Kim On Saturday, April 7 at 9:32 am
Good one
Vale On Sunday, April 8 at 7:54 am
I love love love this… gonna eyebomb the hydrant in my yard with the biggest google eyes I can find!!
Jeanie On Tuesday, April 17 at 1:21 pm
This is amazingly funny. I've never heard of this before. I've heard of yarn bombing, since I'm a knitter, though I've never actually seen it done. Thanks for the heads up on this. My creative, whimisical juices are already flowing. lol

Vermont gunowners, living under the most liberal set of gun laws in America, aren't exempt from the current national ammunition shortage-in fact, they appear to be stockpiling weapons and bullets at rates greater than before Y2K or after 9-11. But the current "run" on ammo hasn't been triggered by fears of cyberspace mayhem or terrorist attacks-instead the current panic has erupted thanks to a raw material shortage that was worsened by fears of possible, sweeping U.S. anti-gun legislation.
Most Vermont gunshop owners we talked with agreed that public fears over the Obama administration's anti-gun stance are now driving the widening ammo shortage.
According to David Pidgeon, owner of Pidgeon's Gun Shop in New Haven since 1959, a shortage of raw materials, coupled with "Obama fears," are to blame.
British news sources, such as the Daily Telegraph, have reported recently that the Chinese government has been buying up and stockpiling materials used in the manufacture of weapons.
"None of my wholesalers have any ammo-and what they have is sold immediately on the day it comes to them. They've been limiting sales to five boxes per dealer. Recently, I have bought some cases containing various caliber bullets-a truckload. But it's small compared to what I usually purchase."
Pidgeon said he is running out of .380, 9mm, .40 S&W, .40 S&W and .45 ACP ammunition. And it doesn't look like he'll be able to replace what he has already sold any time soon.
"Even my shotgun shell quantities are below average although I can still get some turkey ammo for hunters," he said.
Pidgeon said ammo prices have increased 25 percent since February.
Are conservative political fears fueling the shortage?
"Well, it seems to me, in part, that the price of metals is driving this-the price of scrap has gone down," Pidgeon said. "Companies bought up raw materials, such as brass and lead, when the price was high; maybe by next fall there will be a reduction, but who knows?"

IMPORTANT REMINDER - When purchasing license plates, please mention you are a resident of Green Township. The Township receives $5 of the cost for plates for each vehicle you own. These dollars are forwarded to us for use in repairing Township roads. If you simply mention Cincinnati as your place of residence, these funds go to the City of Cincinnati to repair "their" streets.
Snow Removal
The responsibility for snow removal on public roadways in Green Township is charged to three different agencies: Green Township, the Hamilton County Engineer, and the state of Ohio (ODOT). Green Township is charged with maintaining what can be best described as residential streets. There are more than 466 township streets we are charged with maintaining totaling more than 105 miles (210 lane miles). As a general rule, if a street has double yellow centerline painted on it, it is not a township maintained street. There are a handful of exceptions to this rule, but for the most part this holds true. The majority of the streets that are not maintained by Green Township are maintained by the county engineer. The county engineer's office is charged with maintaining 105.49 miles of roadway in Green Township.

School of Education News
School of Education Exceeds Enrollment Goals, Looks Ahead
The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program welcomed 103 new students this semester, pushing past the year's enrollment goals and into triple digits. The boost comes partially from an increase in applications to the Aspire program, as well as a higher-than-normal yield rate.
Twenty-six members of the incoming class attended Willamette as undergrads, which fits with the typical pattern. Thirty-eight of the overall total are fresh out of their undergraduate programs having graduated in 2009.
The School of Education continues to roll out several important programming additions and developments, which include a Master of Education (M.Ed) program in conjunction with Willamette's Center for Excellence in Teaching.

Inks for ink-jet printing have improved smear resistance when they contain from about 15 to 50%, preferably from about 20% to about 30%, formamide.
1. An ink suitable for ink-jet printing, consisting of, by weight,
(a) from about 15% to about 50% formamide,
(b) from about 1% to about 10% dye,
(c) a buffer to provide a pH from about 4 to about 10,
(d) from 0% up to about 10% drying time improver selected from the group consisting of lower alcohols having from 1 to about 4 carbon atoms,
(e) from 0% up to about 0.1% of a non-corrosive, low toxicity, water-soluble conductive salt,
(f) a biocide, and
(g) water.
2. An ink of claim 1 which has been buffered to a pH from about 6 to about 7.
3. An ink of claim 1 which contains, as buffer, ammonium acetate, ammonium formate, 2-[N-morpholino] ethanesulfonic acid, or 3-[N-morpholino]-2-hydroxypropane.
4. An ink of claim 1 wherein the formamide is present in a range from about 20% to about 30%.
5. An ink of claim 1 wherein the dye is present in a range from about 1% to about 4%.
6. An ink of claim 1 which contains from about 2% to about 3% of a drying time improver.
7. An ink of claim 1 which contains from about 2% to about 3% 1-propanol.
8. An ink of claim 1 wherein the salt is a lower alkyl ammonium chloride.
9. An ink suitable for ink-jet printing, consisting of, by weight,
(a) from about 20% to about 30% formamide,
(b) from about 1% to about 4% dye,
(c) sufficient buffer to provide the ink with a pH from about 6 to about 7,
(d) from about 0% to about 3% drying time improver selected from the group consisting of lower alcohols having from 1 to about 4 carbon atoms,
(e) from 0% to about 0.1% of a non-corrosive, low toxicity, water-soluble conductive salt,
(f) a biocide, and
(g) water.
10. An ink of claim 9 wherein the drying time improver is 1-propanol.
This invention relates to ink formulations for thermal ink-jet printers.
Thermal ink-jet printers operate by employing a plurality of resistor elements to expel droplets of ink through an associated plurality of nozzles. In particular, each resistor element, which is typically a pad of resistive material measuring about 50 μm�50 μm, is located in a chamber filled with ink supplied from an ink reservoir. A nozzle plate, comprising a plurality of nozzles, or openings, with each nozzle associated with a resistor element, defines part of the chamber. Upon energizing of a particular resistor element, a droplet of ink is expelled through the nozzle toward the print medium, whether paper, fabric, or the like. The firing of ink droplets is typically under the control of a microprocessor, the signals of which are conveyed by electrical traces to the resistor elements. By proper selection of the signals alphanumeric and other characters are formed on the print medium.
The tight tolerances of the nozzles (typically 50 μm diameter) require that the ink not clog the nozzles. Further, repeated firings of the resistor elements, which must withstand about 10 million firings over the life of the ink cartridge, can result in fouling of the resistor element. Finally, the ink composition must be capable of interacting with the print medium, especially paper, to penetrate the paper without undue spreading, and they should be smear resistance and waterfast.
Inks are known which possess one or more of the foregoing properties. However, few ink compositions are known that possess all the foregoing properties, since an improvement in one property often results in the degradation of another property. Thus, many inks used commercially represent a compromise in an attempt to achieve an ink evidencing at least an adequate response in each of the foregoing considerations.
Accordingly, investigations continue into developing ink formulations which have improved properties and which do not elevate one property at the expense of the others.
In accordance with the invention, the smear resistance of water soluble inks in formulations used in thermal ink-jet printers is significantly improved by the addition thereto of about 15 to 50 weight % of formamide.
The ink formulations of the present invention comprise, by weight, from about 15% to about 50% formamide, from about 1% to about 10% dye, and the balance water. Preferred formulations comprise, by weight, from about 20% to about 30% formamide, from about 1% to about 4% dye, and the balance water.
A drying time improver can be incorporated to shorten the period that the ink is moist after it is ejected on to the print medium. The improver will be volatile liquid, such as a lower alcohol, i.e., one containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Particularly useful is 1-propanol. The ink formulation can include up to about 10% by weight of a drying time improver, preferably from about 2% to about 3%. Excessive amounts of improver can adversely affect the quality of the print by causing the ink to spray as it is ejected from the printer.
The present invention can use anionic or cationic dyes of any color. Typical anionic dyes contain sulfonate or carboxylate groups. Typical cationic dyes have polymethine or arylcarbonium groups. Formamide provides these dyes enhanced water and smear resistance with respect to a water or water and glycol vehicle, such as those frequently used in high lighting markers. Additionally, the resistance to handling is improved.
Since formamide decomposes on either side of pH 6.5, a buffer may be used to keep inks that contain formamide at a pH from about 4 to about 7.5, preferably from about 6 to about 7. Buffers such as ammonium acetate, ammonium formate, 2-[N-morpholino] ethanesulfonic acid, or 3-[N-morpholino-]-2-hydroxypropane sulfonic acid may be used for this purpose.
The biocides useful in this invention may be any one or more of the biocides that are commonly used with inks for thermal jet printers.
The inks of this invention have enhanced water-fastness, particularly inks that have marginal water-fastness without formamide. For example, a water-glycol ink containing DB168 has a DL of approximately 20, while the same ink with formamide has a DL of 4-5. The water-fastness of a print sample is determined by measuring its initial L* coordinate. It is then placed in a beaker of water and washed for five minutes. After that time, it is dried and the L* coordinate is remeasured. The difference between the initial and the final L* is the DL.
With suitable conductive additives, the formulations of this invention can be used for continuous ink-jet printers. Any non-corrosive, low toxicity, water-soluble salt may be used at a concentration from about 0.01 wt% to about 0.1%. Lower alkyl ammonium chlorides are typical examples.
The ink formulations of the present invention can be used wherever aqueous inks are employed and there is need for a water resistant print. They are, however, specifically designed to operate in a thermal ink-jet device, such as the DeskJet™ printer. DeskJet is a trademark of Hewlett-Packard Company.
An ink was formulated consisting, by weight, of
2.5% Food Black
25% formamide
3% 1-propanol,
0.05% ammonium acetate, and
balance water.
This ink had a pH of 7. It also had excellent print quality, smear resistance, crusting, and kogation.
The following inks were made in 25 ml samples, using 2% dye loading and the balance water. The inks were printed in a DeskJet printer. High-lighting of the test was done by hand, using a commercially available felt tip pen, and the optical density of the resulting smear was measured with a MacBeth optical densitometer. A low optical density measurement indicates an increase of smear resistance.
______________________________________Ink Dye Formamide, wt % Smear Resistance (OD)______________________________________A DB168 7.0 0.18B DB168 15.0 0.14C DB168 30.0 0.05D FB2 7.0 0.15E FB2 15.0 0.09F FB2 30.0 0.05______________________________________
The smear resistance of the inks to water based high-lighters increases with formamide content. These inks had good darkness and print quality.
The waterfastness of samples A, B, and C were measured according to the procedure set out above. The changes of L* coordinate (DL) were 11.6, 8.5, and 4.3, respectively.

Corie Holmes Takes Another Shot at BOCC
Corie Holmes came up short in his bid to unseat Manatee County Commission chair Larry Bustle in 2012. This time around, the Palmetto-based investigator and noted community activist is seeking the Democratic nomination for the district 2 seat currently held by Commissioner Michael Gallen.
"My experience serving as a Deputy with the Manatee County Sheriff's Office gives me a unique insight on how tax dollars regarding public safety budgets are approved wisely to protect all Manatee County residents," says Holmes.
Holmes says that if elected, he will focus on keeping property taxes low, curbing frivolous government spending and creating incentives for businesses to relocate to Manatee County.
"I will work to bring jobs back to Manatee County," said Holmes. "My platform is based on three pillars: public safety and strong neighborhoods, the economy and our environment."
Holmes is a Manatee County native who lives and works in the Palmetto area. He says he has spent many years working to protect those in his neighborhood and provide them the opportunity to have an accountable local government.
After graduating from Manatee High, Holmes received a degree from the Law Enforcement Police Academy at Hillsborough Community College and spent 12 years with the Manatee County Sheriff's Office as a certified Deputy and also as a volunteer with dual certification that includes both Law Enforcement and Corrections.
Holmes then moved on to a career as a private investigator and in recent years has become a regular face at Manatee County Commission and Manatee School Board meetings where he is known to give passionate and sometimes pointed public comment on major issues.
Holmes will face Gallen and Palmetto City Commissioner Charles Smith in a three-way Democratic primary this August. There is no Republican on the ballot, but because a write-in candidate has registered, the race will be closed off to Democrats only.

I had found Galanga's on nymetro's cheap eats guide and decided to try it with some friends. The food is wonderful, with beautiful presentation, and good portion size. Not only is the food a great price but its almost authentic thai, trust me I know being thai myself! The place is small so I would recommend making a reservation, You won't regret it!
Posted by Anonymous on 10/04/2004
The food is really Thai (I know coz I'm thai). People are nice and the restaurant decoration is nice (red and some other colors). I went there only one and I was so impressed, would definitely go back for sure. I had shrimp basil and it tasted really good, just like thai food in thailand (even better maybe). :)

My favorite restaurant in the city, great for broke college kids.
Posted by Ed on 08/17/2004
Galanga's duck salad is superb. I've spent time in Bangkok and never had dumplings any better. And the price is right.

This is the only place to open in a while that gives Holy Basil in the EV a run for its money. Very good pad thai and great soups. Try it, you'll like it.
