The Rangers currently have five defensemen under the age of
28 on their roster and two more top prospects on the way, so it's very likely
New York will be looking to add some offensive firepower with its first-round
pick, No. 15 overall in the NHL Draft.
Between now and June 24th, we'll take a look at some of the
forwards that the Rangers might be thinking about taking on draft
day. Today, we look at…
Tomas Jurco
Pos: RW
Shoots: L

2010-2011 playoffs: 6g, 12a, 19gp, 8PIM

Highlight Reel >
What They're Saying:
THN – "When it comes to junior kids on YouTube, it was the
Year of Jurco. The Slovakian-born winger
dazzled at the CHL top prospects skills competition with fancy stickwork that
quickly went viral, though goalies in the Quebec League found all year long
he's just as deadly during regular game play. As a member of the high-powered Sea Dogs, Jurco had plenty of talent
surrounding him, but still managed to carve out a niche in the draft
class. 'Unbelievable hands and great
moves,' said one scout. 'You don't
always see him, but then he has two goals and two assists at the end of the
game. Top-end player, all-around.' Another scout thought Jurco looked heavy, but
acknowledged that the sniper still manages to get around in quick order. The sophomore was prone to offensive dry
spells, but always rebounded with spectacular runs of points and that carried
over into the post-season."
The Scouting Report – "Jurco is relatively comparable to Oshawa Generals forward
Nicklas Jensen, in that he has that rare game-breaking ability that is
extremely rare amongst prospects. He's a player that can absolutely fly and has
all the dynamic puck moves you would want to accompany that level of speed.
He's a fairly good finisher, although he could probably stand to take
opportunity on more of his chances, but the talent is there. Jurco's issue has
been finding consistency, however, as he can go through spells where he can't generate
much of anything on the scoreboard. He might remind you a lot of Michael
Grabner, and maybe an NHL team will step up in round one hoping that Jurco can
eventually find that type of success in the NHL as a game-breaker."
Bruins 2011 Draft Watch –"If scoring goals is all about the feet and hands, then there
is no denying that this Slovak is right up near the head of the class. His puckhandling
skills border on the obscene. If there was some kind of unearthly substance
that had a magnetic effect on rubber, we'd think that Jurco was the one who
discovered it. He can dangle with the absolute best of them and scored a
vintage breakaway goal early in game 1 of the Memorial Cup against Mississauga
when he broke in alone on J.P. Andersonand buried it after some dazzling
moves. He has a quick burst and some deceptive speed with the agility to turn
defenders and make opponents look silly. In the open ice, he's absolutely
deadly- a quick fake and flick of the stick and he's effortlessly around those
who don't take the proper angle or maintain an effective gap. Now for the bad
news: Jurco's defensive game is subpar and his compete levels uneven. He scored
31 goals on a stacked team, but was streaky with long stretches of unproductive
play. On the right team, you're looking at a guy who can kill the opposition
with a timely goal. However, without a creative and talented supporting cast,
Jurco will be forced to try and do too much. He's skilled, but seems to lack
that element of sense and simplification that leads to him getting too cute
instead of making the high percentage plays. Medium risk player but high reward
if he can raise the consistency. He's going to go higher than where we have him
because of the sick hands and upside."
Corey Pronman - "Tomas Jurco is one of the most skilled puck-handlers in the
2011 draft class with well above-average puck skills. He is a very coordinated
player who shows refined technique and impressive hand-eye coordination. Jurco
is a very hard player to check one-on-one as aside from the flash he shows with
the puck, he shields it well and once the defender commits one way to try and
go after the puck, he has the agility to slide out and into open ice and he has
the balance to handle physical contact. His speed is average but there are
times when it seems below that level. There doesn't seem to be anything
mechanically wrong with his stride and because of how well he turns and eludes
checkers it doesn't seem to be a liability for him. Jurco has the ability to be
an above-average goal scorer in regards to his shot and finishing ability, but
he needs to find ways to get more opportunities in the high percentage areas.
His effort level is wavering as he shows good effort on the forecheck and when
he has the puck, but outside of the offensive blue line he looks disinterested.
Jurco has a top half first round skill set in some aspects, but the hockey
sense and drive need to take a few steps forward before his prospect stock can
get to the next level."
NHL.com – "'He does different things at practice,' Gallant
said. 'Some guys would view it as being cocky, but Tomas does it because he
wants to score a goal doing it. I just tell him to do what he feels comfortable
doing. We're not here to show up anybody, but if that's the move you think you
could score a goal with, do it. He's done pretty well in shootouts … he has
stick handling and eye coordination to make those great plays.'"
ESPN – "The top prospect in the Minnesota high-school ranks. Shares the puck
with linemates, although he'll look to use a strong wrist shot. Good work along
the boards and in dirty areas of ice. An August 1993 birthday, so he's
practically a year behind most of the players on the board, but size is not an
issue. And given his age, he's probably still growing."
Jess Rubenstein – "One of the Fab 4 (Saint John players expected to go in the
first). If you look at Glen Sather's
track record you will find he never uses a 1st on a player from the QMJHL. Jurco
is a Slovak kid who has size, but scary as it sounds but I am with Sather on
using 1st-round picks on Q players."
Mock Drafts:
Adam Kimelman, NHL.com – 18
Mike Morreale, NHL.com – N/A
Steven Hoffner, NHL.com – 13
Deven Persaud, NHL.com - 28
TSN.ca – N/A
Gary Joyce, ESPN – 21
Mark Seidel, CBC – N/A
Hockey's Future - 30
The Hockey News - 28
Thoughts: Jurco's highlight reel goals and incredible hands
are tantalizinog, but remember that Wojtek Wolski is quite the YouTube star in
his own right. The ability to puckhandle
is a tremendous asset, but it does not make a player on its own. Jurco has gone through slumps in the QMJHL,
which isn't a great sign. His skill-set
is rare, and there's a chance that he could turn into a superstar, but Jurco
could also be a huge bust. Jurco is
frequently described as one-dimensional and little mention is made of his
defensive responsibility. His work ethic
has been called into question at times, so there are certainly caution signs
This is a classic boom or bust pick. The Rangers desperately need to unearth some
elite talent, but using a first-round pick on Jurco could be a giant risk.
As Jess Rubenstein points out, the Rangers haven't taken a
QMJHL player in the first round under Sather, and the organization hasn't taken
a "Q" player in the first since 1977.

Baring that, I'd re-download the software. Somehow it got corrupted. Do you know how to force a software download?
Posted 01 October 2012 - 03:46 PM
If you haven't done a RBR, try that first. If you still have the problem after a RBR, then I'd try new software.
To start that process, do another RBR. After you do the RBR, the moment you either get the blue screen on your TV, or the blue lights come on your DVR, press 0-2-4-6-8 on your remote. Do it deliberately. Do it once.
If everything happens right, you'll soon see a notification on your TV that the DVR is downloading the software again.
If you don't see that in a minute or so, immediately do another RBR and try again. It might take you a few attempts to force your DVR to re-download its software.
Posted 01 October 2012 - 05:10 PM
Posted 01 October 2012 - 05:35 PM
Just because the software isn't available 24/7 doesn't mean that your DVR firmware isn't corrupted. It certainly doesn't mean that it is either.
Well what's wrong with my DVR? Why's it failing to record shows properly?
Did the reset not fix the problem???
If not, you need to contact DIRECTV and tell them what's going on. In the interim, you need to make your peace with the recordings already on the DVR because they'll be gone if you have to replace the DVR.
Posted 01 October 2012 - 05:44 PM
I didn't know this.
You didn't do anything wrong, Hx2x FW is not available 24/7 anymore.
When is it available?
Posted 01 October 2012 - 05:58 PM
Is this on a SWM system?
Posted 01 October 2012 - 06:43 PM
I only have 1 tuner. Yes it's a SWM.
I mean on the two tuners on that box. If its always the same tuner, I'd lean towards hardware. If its always the background tuner, no matter which tuner that happens to be, then maybe software.
Posted 01 October 2012 - 07:28 PM
To me you should actually have problems with live TV on one of the tuners, but it does seem like an odd issue so who knows.
Posted 01 October 2012 - 08:12 PM
Posted 02 October 2012 - 07:22 AM
I didn't know this.
When is it available?
Basically whenever they decide to put it up. You can use http://redh.com/dtv to figure out what's currently available.
Posted 02 October 2012 - 07:44 AM
This morning Red H says 0x05d2 is available for the OP's DVR. That looks pretty normal to me. If you are reading this, Coca Cola Kid, Red H says it's there for the downloading. I'd try right now.

Read: Some Details Of The Players Proposal
1:39PM: The full details can be found at TSN
1:35PM: McKenzie says that the NHLPA proposes that the salary cap not fall below $67.25 million in any year of the agreement.
The memo that Don Fehr sent to the players says that the NHLPA has moved towards the owners in regards to the topics of contracts in the minors, the four recall rule and long-term back diving contracts.
1:29PM: McKenzie also notes that the PA proposal gets rid of re-entry waivers and the rule that forbid teams from calling up more than four players after the trade deadline.
1:23PM: Bob McKenzie and Larry Brooks write that the breakdown of the make whole from the PA proposal is:
- $182 million
- $128 million
- $72 million
- $11 million
Brooks notes that salaries in the AHL that are worth more than $1 million will count against the cap.
1:11PM: Bob McKenzie say that for the first time the NHL and NHLPA are in the same universe
1:09PM: The NHLPA has returned to the NHL offices and they are joined by Marc Staal
1:04PM According to Aaron Ward, the NHLPA has moved to 50/50 immediately with no guarantee but they took the the make whole number from $211 million to $393 million.
Ward says that it works out to an additional $1.2 million per team, per year over five years
Bob McKenzie tweets:
- "Only system issue addressed is back-diving contracts (cap hit penalties for retired players) but not 5 per cent variance rule or term limits"
- "5 per cent variance rule and combined anti-second contract measures (2 yr ELS, 1 yr delay on arb) are key, but are they hills worth dying on"
Nick Cotsonika tweets "PA doesn't like five-percent variance because it limits teams' flexibility — and thus limits the market for players."
Renaud Lavoie tweets "I've been told that this is the last NHLPA offer. If the NHL wants to work with/around it good. If not, its the end of giving back."

Buffalo, NY (August 5th) -- It has been about two weeks of below average temperatures.
Finally we will feel a bit of summer on Wednesday with highs in the low 80s and more humid conditions. Then it's back to the 70s and below average temperatures for several days after that.
Storms are in the forecast during the middle of the week for later Wednesday, then dry end of the week and into the weekend.
Summer so far in Buffalo has been a bit wet and cool. However, 55% of the days have been wet, and 46% of the days have had temperatures below average.
Breaking it down into months shows 57% of the days in June were wet and 53% had below average temperatures.
July had 55% of the days wet and only 32% of the days below average with temperatures.
August so far has had half the days wet and 100% of the days below average with temperatures.

Dr. Sid S. Molayem's Ratings
Unsatisfactory work. After several years(6+), he could still not achieve a decent result. Went to another orthodontist and got the perfect result for me in just 5 months and got my braces off. Dr. Molayem did not use half the tools my new orthodontist has such as permanent rubber bands(also known as elastics) which took off the very large gap between my teeth completely etc, and his methods of work are different(a bad different. They are very slow and unsatisfactory. Don't go to him saving a dime because when your teeth are ruined, you would wish you have spent the dime on your future smile and you would also be an elbow into debt because adds unnecessary procedures.

This man is a saint. Our son's case was a difficult one that might have required major surgery, titanium plates & wiring the jaw shut for 8 weeks, but what Dr. Molayem is accomplishing without surgery by way of skill, patience and gentle manner is short of miraculous! Although his office is on the opposite end of town, we are happy to make the drive. He is an outstanding professional and we recommend him highly!

Dr. Molayem is one of the kindest and most thorough orthodontist that i know. He did my invisalign for me and my son's braces and was just amazing. I highly recommend him to anyone thinking about orthodontic work.He is extremely down to earth and his staff are very helpful and knowledgeable.

Reducing the learning, design, and coding requirements of desktop applications is the goal of the JDesktop Network Components. Announced at JavaOne '03, the JDNC project provides extensions to Swing, a JNDC API to make using these extended components easier, and an XML markup language to allow building some or all of the GUI without writing Swing code. JNDC GUI's can then be deployed as standalone applications, Java WebStart applications, or Java Applets.
JSP performance is a critical issue for major web sites, and the java.net project OpenSymphony Cache can help. The fast and flexible system can cache JSP's or other servlet-generated content, works in clusters, and supports a variety of disk- and memory-based caching strategies. It's used by popular, high-traffic web sites, including TheServerSide, JavaLobby, and JRoller.

Issues related to classification and diagnosis will be covered, with a particular emphasis on a critical evaluation of DSM-5 and ICD-10 as diagnostic tools. Within this multidimensional integrative perspective, there will be an initial examination of the history of psychopathology, and issues related to classification and diagnosis. A range of specific disorders will be considered, using a lifespan approach to psychopathology. Current etiological theories and conceptual models for each disorder will be considered through a critical examination of relevant research, along with overlap among the symptoms for the different disorders, and the use of differential diagnosis.

A Watertown man was sentenced Thursday in Jefferson County Court to four years in state prison after admitting he violated terms of his Drug Court contract.
Sean M. Miles, 36, also was ordered to undergo an additional two years of supervision upon his release for not following conditions of the substance abuse rehabilitation program that is designed to serve as an alternative to incarceration.
He was referred to the program in February 2012 after pleading guilty to third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, having been accused of selling cocaine. Information about what led to the Drug Court violation was not available from the court.
In other court activity:
Corey J. King, 27, Oswego, pleaded guilty to felony driving while intoxicated and was referred to Drug Court. He was charged with DWI in May on Interstate 81 in the town of Pamelia.
If he completes Drug Court, the felony DWI conviction will be vacated and he then would be allowed to plead guilty to DWI as a misdemeanor. He then would be sentenced to three years probation, be fined $1,000, have his drivers license revoked and be ordered to install an ignition interlock device on any vehicle he owns or operates.
If he is unsuccessful, the felony conviction will remain and he will be sentenced to one to three years in prison, be fined $3,500, have his drivers license revoked and be subject to the interlock provision. His Drug Court supervision will be transferred to Oswego County.
Jasma M. Ryan, 27, Adams, successfully completed Drug Court and had a charge of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance vacated and was allowed to plead guilty to the same count in the fifth degree. She was sentenced to five years probation. She had been referred to the program in June 2012 after pleading guilty to an allegation that she had sold cocaine.
Patrick G. Boyanski, 41, Chaumont, completed Drug Court and had a first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle conviction vacated, while a felony DWI conviction remained. He pleaded guilty to the charges in June 2012, admitting that he drove while intoxicated in February 2012 in the town of Brownville while his drivers license had been suspended or revoked for a misdemeanor DWI conviction in 2009 in City Court. He was sentenced on the DWI charge to an unspecified amount of time served at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building and a three-year conditional discharge, with orders to complete the Bridge program. He also was fined $1,000, had his drivers license revoked and is subject to the interlock provision.

Shimano Ultegra Ice Grey FC-6750 CranksetWith the same engineered technology as the Shimano Dura-Ace crank, the Shimano Ultegra FC-6750 Compact road crankset uses a hollow outer chainring to save weight and boost rigidity for optimal power transfer and positive shifting under load. Grey finish.
- Compact design lightens your load and expands your gear range without the added weight and complexity of a triple
- Hollowtech II design uses a wider bearing placement to maximize stiffness while keeping weight to a minimum - what you get is a dramatically stronger pedaling force with better power transfer, acceleration and speed
- HollowGlide hollow outer chainring reduces weight, increases strength and enhances stiffness of the entire crankset by 20% for even more shifting power
- Wider gear range accommodates most cycling situations and offers less chain touch in the small/small combination
- Individually machined chainring teeth improve chain contact for greater shifting performance
- Improved bottom bracket seals reduce contamination and friction
- Bottom bracket not included
- Shimano Ultegra FC-6750 Compact Crankset is designed to work in conjunction with the Shimano Dura-Ace CN-7900 10-speed chain or the Shimano Ultegra CN-6700 10-speed chain

The new Retina Mini's a little heavier and more expensive, but manages to fit a Retina Display and a much faster processor into its 7.9-inch tablet body. How does it feel? Read our unfolding review.
Apple skips 4K and goes directly to what the company calls a 5K display in this expensive, extravagant all-in-one iMac desktop that will appeal to photo and video professionals -- or anyone else looking for the best possible screen resolution.
While the upcoming 12-inch MacBook has all the buzz, this 13-inch system gets a handful of updates to remain a top choice for combining power and portability.
While the small updates to the 2014 model aren't enough for most existing users to upgrade, Apple's excellent 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro is still our go-to laptop of choice for shoppers at the high end.
The newly redesigned MacBook Pro with Retina Display combines an amazing screen with just enough of the MacBook Air design to feel like a new animal, and to take its place as the best of the current MacBook breed.
There are other high-res laptops out there, but this year's more powerful and affordable 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro is one of the best of the bunch, and makes a compelling case for upgrading from the 13-inch Air.
While the Retina MacBook Pro is easily the most desirable 13-inch Mac laptop to date, the high price and lack of discrete graphics make it a tough call versus either the more powerful 15-inch Retina Pro or the more affordable 13-inch Air.
It's torture testing taken to another level when a fist-sized bullet is launched at Apple's latest desktop.
Apple unveils its new 12-inch MacBook, which is 24 percent thinner than the 11-inch Air and includes a Retina Display that consumes 30 percent less energy.
Dan Ackerman gives his first impressions of the new 12-inch MacBook. The new notebook has a full-size keyboard, Force Touch trackpad and USB-C connector. It starts at $1,299 and ships in early April.

In Stephen Covey's house, there are pictures and paintings everywhere. Some of them are framed covers of magazines. Others are pictures of him with world leaders such as the Dalai Lama, President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama.
One photo that brings the biggest smile to Dr. Covey's face, however, is a black and white shot of him wearing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on his head. He said the unusual sandwich was created when he took a lengthy phone call at home.
"My kids made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on my head and so I just left it there all day and I didn't acknowledge it at all," he said, still laughing at the memory. "It was dripping down."
Dr. Covey shows his sense of humor at the
announcement event. (Photo by Casey McFarland)

the announcement event. (Photo by Casey McFarland)
Sean Covey, one of Dr. Covey's sons, was the proud instigator of the prank. To hear him describe it, they just took a proactive approach to deal with the interruption.
"We layered probably a half-inch of peanut butter all over his bald head," Sean said. "Then followed up with some jam and put a piece of bread on top."
Sean, who wrote The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, described his father as a very informal, approachable and funny person.
"He always treated everybody the same, exactly," Sean said. "It didn't matter if you were the CEO of a Fortune 10 company or the local barber. You wouldn't have ever known the difference. He was never a respecter of persons or title."
Sean said that while his father is a hard worker, he also knows how to relax. Taking naps, for example, is something his father can do anywhere.
"He'll take a nap on someone's office floor," Sean said. "He'll go visit someone and lay down on their living room floor. He'll lay on the grass anywhere."
Sean said he remembers the time his dad decided to take a nap in the movies. Dr. Covey was tired so he rolled up a coat and stretched out in the aisle.
"Dad, you can't do that!" Sean remembers the family saying, as they saw him getting comfortable on the floor.
Bob Whitman, the CEO of FranklinCovey, called Dr. Covey "fun-loving and spontaneous." He remembers that one time Dr. Covey pulled a prank on some people who came to meet him at the airport.
"Stephen had put on a wig and these funny teeth and he was just standing there," Mr. Whitman said. "He'd come off the plane and, of course, they didn't recognize him, and he kept standing around until he could see that they were all flustered and then he walked up and just started talking to them. It wasn't until he took off the wig and the teeth that they could tell it was him."

Warikomi Blades are carefully hand crafted with stainless Swedish blade steel. These are sone of the sharpest knives available today. The edges are polished to a keen razor edge, yet have the strength to work through weeks of food preparation with minimal maintenance. Each Warikomi knife features the bladesmiths signature hammered into the blade and comes with a custom fitted ash wood sheath (locking pin included)
Kikuichi has a long and distinguished history. Although they have been producing superior cutlery for more than a hundred years, the origin of their company lies some seven hundred years ago. For most of their history they manufactured Samurai swords that bore the Emperor's Chrysanthemum symbol as a mark of their excellence. Today, their ancestor's swords are considered national treasures in Japan. Kikuichi uses the same techniques used for making swords in their cutlery manufacturing and the results are amazing. Unlike ordinary stainless steel knives and scissors, the sharpness of their high-quality, handcrafted products is easily maintained. All Kikuichi knives come gift boxed with sharpening and care instructions.

Bad 91, Worse 90
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Fri, 10/20/06, 12:50am:
Does Elton Brand realize it's a preseason game? I mean that with the highest regard; it's just that he's incapable of keeping it in third gear. I worry about him.
Some observations:
- Shaun Livingston must be coachable, because working those two-man side screen rolls, he looks exactly like Sam Cassell, minus the convex mirror for a forehead. Better yet, he appears both patient in the half-court and confident in his shot. His sheer strength is still something to monitor, and you could see it on a possession with a little over 3:00 left in the first half in which he tried to post-and-spin Smush unsuccessfully.
- 1-for-11. I know, but let's give it some time. It's not like Tim Thomas forgot how to shoot over the summer.
- Relax, James. Relax. You too, Daniel Ewing.
- You think Ronny Turiaf is excited to be playing?
- How funny was the situation with the picture-in-picture live game/NLCS?
- I know it's the preseason and I promise to be nice and all, but in the portion of the second quarter I rewatched to isolate on Corey Maggette, there was a lot of the same old shit - no help off-the-ball on either end and a stupid early shot. The good news? The Glass!
Listen, if Corey can deliver this kind of work on the boards, I might just forget about all the other crap.
- Tilting the block-charge call toward the penetrator should help Corey. A lot.
- Spent the first half of the fourth quarter following Paul Davis. He went all Francisco Elson and committed five fouls in about seven minutes. The three turnovers weren't too pretty either, particularly the pass to Luke Walton. Worst of all? When the clock expired and the Clips squeaked through, 91-90, he jumped off the bench as if Michigan State had just pulled off a big win at Ann Arbor. Other than a nice face-up jumper from about 10 feet, there really isn't anything nice to say.
The most disturbing thing I saw tonight? Outback Steakhouse and Elephant Six Collective and Athens GA product, of Montreal, have teamed up to turn the band's groovy single, "Wraith Pinned To The Mist And Other Games," into this.
Look, Kevin Barnes or anyone else associated with of Montreal has the right to cash in however they please -- that's the cool thing about the free market. And when roadtripping through the red states without a lot of time to go searching for local eats, I've been known to duck into an Outback once or twice.
It really comes down to the fact that, when I listen to an album I've grown to like a lot, I don't want to think about a fucking bloomin' onion and a ribeye, okay?
So feel free to make whatever performative expression you want. It's your band. Just don't expect me to buy your music if I fear that it might end up as the next Carnival Cruise Line jingle, no matter how adorably ironic it may be.

Other Name: Rapamune (R)
Detailed Description:
Currently there is no treatment for ADPKD other than supportive care and blood pressure control. Usually dialytic treatment or renal transplantation becomes necessary when the disease has progressed to end-stage renal failure.We and others could demonstrate that rapamycin, a classical mTOR inhibitor, retards cyst growth and preserves renal function in a rodent model of ADPKD. The aim of our study is to investigate whether Rapamune (2 mg/d) retards cyst growth and slows renal functional deterioration in patients with ADPKD. We anticipate that we can slow disease progression and delay the need for chronic renal replacement therapy by the inhibition of mTOR with Rapamune. This is a 24-month prospective, controlled, open label study with 2 parallel groups in patients with ADPKD. Patients will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio to one of the 2 treatment arms. Primary endpoint is percentage change of renal volume measured by high resolution magnetic resolution imaging.

WADDINGTON – The Town Council is moving ahead with its plan to build up a campground on Leishman Point.
Councilor David Putney said Monday the campground committee will start by designating four dry sites towards the top of the point.
The sites will become available in time for the Bassmaster Elite Tournament set for August 8 to 11. Mr. Putney will meet with the Health Department next week to discuss campsite requirements.
Meanwhile, land surveyor and campground committee member James S. Thew, of Thew Associates, Canton, said he is drawing up several plans for possible campsites with 50 amp hookups at the top and bottom of the point. He said the 27 acres of land could support at least 25 campsites, with two toilets for males and females.
The biggest cost is going to be getting power up at the point, Mr. Thew said. Mr. Thew said he will meet with National Grid next week to determine where power can be drawn from.
Town Supervisor Mark Scott suggested that the campground committee begin by building sites at the bottom of Leishman Point, near the River Road and Town Beach. He said the alternate location could yield a bigger initial return on investment.
We need a bathhouse, and we dont have the money to build it, Mr. Scott said. The campground at Lisbon beach cost up to $250,000. I think if you consider building 10 sites at the bottom it may bring in the additional revenue and allow use of the beachs bathhouse.
Mr. Thew agreed, but said he would support building campsites at any location on the point.
If you put eight sites by the beach, that is seven of them within 500 feet of the existing bathhouse, he said. Only one would be beyond 500 feet. Your utilities are right there and that will substantially lower the costs. If we are doing four, maybe we could take a look down there, also. I dont care where it goes so long as we do it and it gets done. I would really like to see that land being used.
The land has been available since it was released as part of the 2003 Relicensing Settlement Agreement with the New York Power Authority. The land was initially purchased by NYPA as part of the St. Lawrence-FDR Power Project.
Mr. Thew said he would update the board on his progress at the next meeting on May 13.
Our next step is to see what kind of septic systems we can design, Mr. Thew said. Once we get some designs in place we can come up with numbers and how much this is going to cost. Then we can decide the best place to construct the sites.

MetsBlog's Right-Track, Wrong-Track Poll is surprisingly high
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
The Right-Track, Wrong-Track number is surprising to me. I mean, the basic idea is simple, which is to determine whether MetsBlog readers feel confident with the direction this franchise is heading. However, the basis for each voter's vote is more or less up to them. Historically, I always pushed voters to think long term, less about today or yesterday, and to consider the farm system, who is making decisions, the current roster, resources, and what the future holds. But, that's not a requirement, and this poll, which I've been running since 2004, has always sort of reflected the current sentiment.
That said, despite the team losing more games each of the last three seasons; payroll dropping; saying goodbye to Cy Young Award winner and a batting champion; and having no outfield; the last poll showed 72% of 4,000 voters think the Mets are on the Right Track.
Of course, I voted Right Track, so I shouldn't be surprised. But, I'm always criticized by readers for being overly optimistic, so I naturally assume I'm in the minority. Clearly, that is not the case.
Now, if you read the Comment Section here, you would think every Mets fan is pessimistic and zero would vote like me. However, survey after survey shows that just 10% or so of this site's overall readership actually post comments. So, the general sentiment in comments here is probably not indicative of the overall fanbase, just like Twitter isn't indicative of it, just like limiting to online fans is probably not a reflection of offline fans.
In other words, I'm not really sure of the point of this post, other than to acknowledge my surprise that the overwhelming majority of the thousands of people voting are seemingly as confident about the future as I am, which is a credit to Sandy Alderson. Perhaps you think he's pulling the wool over our eyes, or maybe you have total faith in his reputation and plan, or maybe you're in the middle, but giving him the benefit of the doubt… that's up to you. But, either way, at least as far as voters go, it's working… for now.

We are currently addressing issues to the contest entry system related to recent server updates. We will notify members when the system is back online. We apologize for the inconvenience and will extend the deadline.Thank you for patience.
Still Photojournalists may enter published work in the regional Monthly News Clip Contest.Winning entries are put in the running for the monthly National competition, and earn the journalist points towards the regional Photographer of the Year award.
Improvements to the Clip Contest in 2015:
- The Illustration/Controlled Portrait category has been eliminated - this is due to low participation in the category
- Judges will not be required to select three winners in a given category if, in their judgment, there are not 3 entries that are worthy of recognition - this will encourage the submission of the highest-quality images
The Monthly Clip Contest is one the most popular and long standing of NPPA member contests. It provides members an opportunity to share their work and compete against some the best photographers in their region each month. It also provides an opportunity for critique of images and the chance for winning members to share their work with both members and non-members alike.
For general questions about entry please contact your regional chair or the NPPA home office at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are experiencing any technical difficulties with your entry please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

The contest is open to all members in good standing whose dues are paid for the month of the competition entered. New or renewal dues must be received by the national office during the contest month. (Note: dues paid by check may take up to a week to process; please plan accordingly.)
Members submit entries online in the region in which they reside or work. Interns or students may enter in either their region of residence or in the region where they work or attend classes, but not both.
Only published entries are eligible. Publication is defined as printed or electronically reproduced by a commercial enterprise. Simple database postings are not eligible. "Commercial enterprise" does not necessarily mean a for-profit endeavor, and discretion in determining the form or context of a "commercial enterprise" is granted to the regional clip chairs. Entries may be from any publication or enterprise except those produced by NPPA, including wire services. Entrants may be asked to show proof of publication on a case-by-case basis or risk disqualification of the image.
Neither the name of the photographer nor the publication or enterprise may be shown visually on the image (that is, no watermarks or badges should appear). There are no restrictions on the information in the IPTC headers.
All entries must have a caption, which may be either the original published caption, or a freshly produced caption that clearly explains what the picture shows. The caption entered on the web entry form should not include the name of the photographer or publication.
The date the image was shot must be included in the caption field.
The following information must be filled on the contest form online:
Contest category
Photographer's name
Publication's name
Date of publication (in the case of electronic entries, the first date it appeared online; in the case of monthly, bi-monthly, semi-annual, etc., publications, the date printed on said publication)
Entries may be disqualified if an entry's information is incorrect, missing or doesn't follow the NPPA Code of Ethics. Judges are instructed to not award any entries they feel have been overly "worked" in the processing of the image. This would include heavy burning which removes content from the image.
All images must be saved as Good quality JPEG files with a maximum dimension of 2,750 pixels on a side (11" at 250 dpi). Image files should be 3 MB or less.
A maximum of nine (9) entries may be made each month in any combination of the six categories.
For multiple picture entries: A series of related pictures published in more than one month may be entered as a single entry for the month concluding the series.
A picture can only be entered once in the contest. If a picture is published at a later date, after it has already been entered in a previous month's competition, it can not be entered again.
Similarly, the same picture cannot be entered in more than one contest category for the same month, nor may a picture entered singly appear as part of a multiple-picture entry for the same month. If the same picture appears in more than one entry for the month, the regional chair may disqualify both entries.
An entry must have been shot or published in the month it is entered in the contest. For example, an image shot or published in February must be entered in February's competition. No longer will it allowed for photographers to enter pictures shot earlier in the year and then published later in the year in "year-end" galleries. This rule does not apply to multiple picture entries which may have been photographed over the course of months or even years. This rule is to try to maintain a level playing field for all entrants in order to more fully realize the spirit of the competition. If an entrant is confused or not sure of a picture's eligibility, it is suggested the photographer contact their clip chair before the contest deadline and get a clarification. It is up to the photographer to solicit the clip chair's permission beforehand or risk having their entry disqualified.)
Each entry must be the work of an individual photographer.
It is understood that any copyright of an entry remains the property of the photographer or employer of the photographer.
However, all participants agree that by entering the contest, entrants give permission to NPPA for its regional and national publications to reproduce winning entries, including but not limited to, regional publications, News Photographer magazine, commercial online services and NPPA presences on the Internet. Reasonable precautions will be taken to ensure the security of electronic reproduction.
NPPA may also enter into agreements with other entities or enterprises for delivery of images entered in the contest. Release of the original photo of any image entry is solely at the discretion of the entrant and any entrant may decline to release any photo for non-NPPA publication without penalty to regional contest standing.
Spot News
Coverage of events for which no advance planning was possible. Examples include, but are not limited to, accidents, fires, natural disasters and spot police action. Each entry may consist of multiple images.
General News
Coverage of events for which advance planning was possible. Examples include, but are not limited to, courtroom events, funerals, news conferences, mock exercises, and campaigns. Spot news that develops during the course of planned events (such as riots at a protest) should be entered in Spot News. Each entry may consist of multiple images.
Action and feature pictures from a sporting event. Each entry may consist of multiple images.
Feature/Single Picture
Coverage of events and subjects that don't fit in Spot News, General News, Sports or Illustration. Single images only.
Feature/Multiple Pictures
Events and subjects that don't fit in Spot News, General News, Sports or Illustration. Entries in this category must include multiple images. The category is intended for more in-depth work including photo essays, picture stories, investigative/documentary work, sequences, or series.
Each photographer entering the contest receives two points per month entered. First place receives 50 points , second place receives 40 points and third place 30 points. No ties or honorable mentions will be awarded. Points count only in the region in which they are earned and cannot be transferred.
If a winning entry is disqualified for any reason, the next place will be moved up to fill the disqualified image's spot. For example: If the first place winner was disqualified, the second place winner will move to first place; the third place winner will move to second place. A fourth-place image – if the judges have selected one – will be moved into the third place position and receive 30 points. The judges will be asked to pick four winners in each category, but in the off-chance they do not, there will be no third place winner and the 30 points will be lost..
If a third place image is disqualified, no points will be awarded for third place.
If an image is disqualified, the photographer may challenge the ruling. In that case, the photographer would appeal to the national clip chair. The national clip chair and two other regional clip chairs (from a different region than the photographer who is making the appeal) will make the final decision. The photographer must supply any information they feel will help make his/her case or that the MNCC Appeals Committee asks for. A decision will be made within three weeks of the appeal.
The photographer who accumulates the most points in each region during the calendar year will be named Regional Photographer of the Year, provided the photographer has shown versatility by winning in at least two of the six contest categories during the year. In case of a tie, both photographers will share the title.
In case of a year-end tie within a region's top 10 scores, the rank(s) beneath the tie will be skipped for the next award. For example, a two-way tie for top place leaves third place for the next highest photographer.
Immediately after monthly regional judging, first, second and third place winners in all regions will be combined and judged to select national first, second and third places in each category. No additional points are awarded for national wins, but national winners may appear in national NPPA publications.
The photojournalist with the most points at the end of the year will receive a plaque and be named National Clip Contest Photographer of the Year.
All entries must be uploaded online by the seventh of the month following the month of publication. Uploads must be completed by midnight PST.
Example: Entries from January need to be entered by 11:59:59 PM PST on February 7.
International members have the same uploading deadlines as U.S. entries.

Sharing Memories (Week 42): Your First Job
I started working when I was 13 years old. I had just entered Grade 9 and my mother thought it would be good for me to come out of my shell by having a job. So she arranged for me to work at our local library every day after school, 2 evenings a week and all day Saturday.
Sounds great but it cut into my school life and social life dramatically. Back in those days we had so much homework we could hardly get it all done. So working so many hours was tough. And I had to drop out of after school activities which I really missed.
The good part was that I loved my job! By the time I was 16 I was put in charge of the children's library for the whole summer every Saturday so the librarian could have a day off. I absolutely loved it and when I left High School my boss (chief librarian) encouraged me to go into Library Sciences. But I wasn't keen on that so never did do it.
Anyway that was my first job - what was yours?

Hi Lorine,
Can I ask a newbie question?
How do you store these shared memories?
All of my parents, grandparents (adoptive and biological) and their siblings are still alive, so I've taken to sending out emails asking about the topic you provide each week. Everyone replies with their individual answers and I write back asking some questions to specify or clarify points and then I just seem to leave the responses in my email archives.
These people are still alive so I'm wary of uploading the memories onto my Ancestry.com family tree even if it is set to private.
I'm considering perhaps buying Family Tree Maker and including the responses as an event 'Occupation' (edited into a coherent paragraph or two) in FTM which I can share as required.
I just feel a little bad getting all this info in and leaving it in my email archives.
What does everyone do with their shared memories?

The Kessil A150W Amazon Sun brings out the vivid colors of freshwater plants with the specially created spectrums of the A150W. While it is hard to compare the Kessil to 150 Watt metal halide lights, the 32 Watt Kessil has the same effective light spectrum for plants as a 150 Watt metal halide. This is partly due to the efficient use of electricity with LEDs, partly a function of higher percentage of the light being directed downward and partly because a very high percentage of the light spectrum with the Kessil A150W Amazon Sun is useful to plants.
The Kessil A150W will result in thriving plants with lower electricity bills, less of a need for a chiller and no bulb replacement costs. The lightweight Kessil light, which weighs less than a pound, can be easily hung above the tank from with the two built in mounting tabs (that can be attached to a chain or other hanging mechanism), or can be clamped to the tank with the Gooseneck Clamp/Mount. NOTE: This light does not come with the bracket for attachment to a Kessil LED Light Pendant Gooseneck Clamp/Mount. If you need the bracket please request one in the Order Comments section when checking out.

UTICA - Leads proved to be dangerous for Section 10 teams in the state high school hockey championship semi-finals in Utica on Saturday.
Massena took a 1-0 lead just over two minutes into the second period on a Ryan Moffitt goal before McQuaid scored two late goals in the second period and added three more in the third to skate to a 5-1 lead.
St. Lawrence Central held a 4-1 lead over John Jay midway through the third period before the Indians scored two goals in an 11-second span to get back into the game before evening the score minutes later, scoring the game winner with just under a minute left in regulation and even added an empty net goal as an exclamation point.
Sophomore forward Lukas Arquiett led the Larries with two goals and seniors Blake Baldwin and Jarek Crump also scored for SLC.
McQuaid will face Saratoga for the Division I title, while John Jay will face off against CBA-JD (Syracuse) for the Division II title Sunday afternoon at the Utica Memorial Auditorium.

Our most relaxing Bath Bomb yet, Twilight is our gentle, reassuring hug for the bath to transform you from worn out to warm and fuzzy. It changes color like the sky at dusk, from pinks to purples and darker still. Lay back in the comforting herbal waters to soak your troubles far, far away.
VeganThis product does not contain animal products of any kind.
Fill your bathtub with warm water, drop in the Bath Bomb and lay back to enjoy its lovely color and gorgeous fragrance. Some LUSH Bath Bombs contain flower petals and others have secret surprises (if you prefer not to have these pieces floating in your tub, wrap the Bath Bomb in a recycled nylon before use). To make your experience even more memorable, combine your fragrant Bath Bomb with a Luxury Bath Melt.How to use

Bedtime story: Take the bitter edge off of sleeplessness with sweet tonka absolute, vanilla's saucier cousin.
Comforting and relaxing: Twilight has a slow-paced froth, it bobs about in the tub releasing its sweet scent.
