HTC is primed to announce the followup to the critically acclaimed HTC One on March 25th. While some debate likely went into the name, we can confirm that HTC's new flagship will be called the All New HTC One. While we won't know what exactly is in store until the big unveil on March 25th, we have a pretty good idea what to expect from the All New HTC One. While the big contender for 2014 from Apple is still months away, HTC is taking on heavyweights like Samsung and Sony head-on in the first half of 2014. So, with that, lets take a look at what the All New HTC One has to offer in the competition for the first half of 2014.
Like the original, the All New HTC One will be a large device. Bigger than the iPhone and roughly the same size as the LG G2, the All New HTC One is said to feature a screen somewhere between 5 inches and 5.2 inches. With smaller bezels this might not even necessarily increase the overall footprint of the phone. In terms of looks, no one would take this phone seriously if it ditched the aluminum unibody that made it stand out from the crowd. The solid aluminum body returns for the All New HTC One.
Internally, the All New HTC One features some powerful specs. The SnapDragon 800, which has powered many of the mobile world's top devices, returns to power the All New HTC One. The device itself clocks in at around 2.26 GHz, or roughly the same processing speed of the LG G2. What could set this device apart is an additional graphics processor which would come in handy when powering high-end mobile games. In terms of software, it comes as no surprise that this device will come loaded the latest Android operating system Android 4.4 KitKat.

Symphonic Cymbals - A New World Of Sounds
ever since we've developed and introduced our range of symphonic cymbals about one year ago together with jens herz, principal percussionist of the bamberg symphony orchestra, i have learned so much new about the requirements a classical percussionist is looking for in terms of cymbal sounds.
some time ago i was introduced to guido margrrander, percussionist of the bavarian radio symphony orchestra. i gave him a selection of our symphonic cymbals for testing. apparently the 22" heavy cymbal pair has been chosen to be used at their yesterday's concert at the herkulessaal in munich. i had the great pleasure to experience this amazing concert, gustav mahler's first symphony "titan" played by one of the world's leading orchestras.
i'm excited to have the opportunity to keep on working more in the classical szene in the future in terms of cymbal sounds. besides all the music i grew up with, i have always loved classical music and have listened to it all the time. i find it very fascinating now to also sneak into that world more and more working with classical musicians in terms of the sounds they are looking for. i love it!

Many melodies contain notes that are not from the scale they are composed in. For example, "Stairway to Heaven" solo contains an A minor pentatonic scale plus an additional F note. I've read that this is not uncommon. Does it mean it is still A minor pentatonic or not? Can playing notes not in a scale be done for compositions made using pentatonic scale or also heptatonic?
There's a common practice in Jazz and Blues to choose the scale based not on the piece as a whole, but just the chord that's currently playing. The ballad section is not totally in A-Minor either, but flirts with Dorian-Minor as well (the F♯ in the D-Major chord). The solo section of Stairway has these changes
You can play A-Minor (or A Minor Pentatonic) over the first measure because the G harmony functions like a seventh (so the A-Minor over the top feels like a suspension). But during the all-F measure, the solo voice really needs to make sense over F, so adding F (and landing on F) become useful to make the solo follow the changes.
As for playing notes outside the current scale, sure, why not? They're then called "non-scalar" tones. But if used too often (subjective, I think) then a non-scalar tone really becomes part of the scale. This is one of those "I know it when I hear it" things, and it's difficult to describe without reference to specific examples.
If you play notes which are outside of the scale and still call it "in the scale", you're really stretching the capabilities of the English preposition "in"! I believe there is room for staying in the scale while incorporating grace notes, glissandos or portamentos.
That F in the Stairway to Heaven solo can be regarded as shifting to another mode. Three major pentatonic modes (and their relative minors) occur in a given key. The solo does not stick to A minor pentatonic but uses modal runs within the A natural minor key (pentatonic and diatonic), plus blues microtonal bends.
It is not a solo in A minor pentatonic with out-of-scale digressions; that is hardy the concept.
The descending G E D C A G F run near the beginning of the solo is a blend of two modes. It starts as A minor pentatonic, but ends like an F major pentatonic. These overlap by four notes, so you don't know where one ends and the other begins; it is ambiguous. The F chord and bass note occur at around the beginning of the A G F phrase, so if a turning point between the two modes can be identified, that A might be the point where it occurs.
It is an effective twist which surprises the ear of the rock and roll listener who is used to hearing auto-pilot pentatonic noodling in one mode over similar progressions.
The F major pentatonic fits the underlying chord which is how modal improvisation works, at least some of the time.
Why does everybody think of A minor pentatonic? Because someone else wrote it or told them? How confusing grasshoppers. Why does it have to fit? And this idea of adding an F note at the right time. For gods sake. Lets look at what is really in play here. A minor chord, notes ace G major chord, notes gbd F major chord, notes fac
ace + gbd + fac = abcdefg = some scale, I'm not into modes and crap. its the notes of the chords added up together. If you have learn't the solo note for note, the F note only appears over the F chord, amazing isn't it, playing an F note over and F chord, who would have thought of that?
So, if the F note is only played over the F major chord (and it is) then what notes are played over the A minor chord, well I guess the A minor chord notes ace, and no f, so the other notes of the chords that haven't been accounted for yet. What would they be? abcdefg take out ace and f = b d g = Ok the notes of the G chord, So that means while the A minor chord is in play the solo goes from A minor notes to the G chord notes. I've checked and it does. So what about the G major chord when it in play? obviously the notes of G major chord, gbd and the left over notes of abcdefg. You've worked it out. Good, its abcdefg - f and - gbd = a c e = A minor chord. So when the G chord is in play, it goes from the notes of G chord to the notes of A minor chord. Where is the place for a pentatonic theory here? Maybe there is and I just can't see it. Of we are up to the F chord, abcdefg - fac = b de g = a G chord + an e note, G6th chord. Guess what? That expells the pentatonic theory. I really hope this helps. Good luck guys.
There are actually two things here. One: do you need to strictly stick to a key? To a prosriptivist, yes. That's what it means to "be in a key". Some theoreticians may disagree (but there are always factions).
Two: is "Stairway to Heaven" in A minor pentatonic or some variant? No. It is in A minor. However, common performance practices in jazz and blues involve soloing over a 6 note blues scale, similar to a pentatonic. Not having the sheet music in front of me, I cannot say for sure that this was what was performed, but I can make an educated guess (based upon Led Zeppelin's strong blues background) and bet that what I just described (soloing on the 6 note blues scale) is what was performed.

Dickey says he and Mets still far apart on contract extension
Matthew Cerrone, Lead WriterToday at the team's Holiday Party in Citi Field, R.A. Dickey told reporters that he and the Mets are still far apart on the terms of a contract extension.
"When people say it's business, it's not personal, well that just means it's not personal for them," Dickey explained, according to ESPN New York. "I'm hoping it ends up in a good place, but also in the back of your mind you think it may not. That's sad."
Dickey later said he would likely leave the Mets after next season, if he doesn't sign a new contract this winter.
This morning, Andy Martino of the Daily News said the Mets have increased their contract extension offer to two-years, $20 million, while Dickey is seeking $26 million.
"I feel like what we're asking for is less than what it is fair," Dickey said today.
However, people close to the team have told me Dickey started out wanting $40 million guaranteed over the next four years. He's reduced his demands, and now the Mets believe they can sign him to a contract that pays him his $5 million in 2013, but then $10 million each of the next two years, which I've been writing on this blog since Nov. 30.
I'm now hearing the Mets also are considering an option year for 2016, probably at the same $10 million, which would give Dickey the chance to make $35 million the next four seasons.
In short, the Mets will guarantee $10 million a year (for 2014 and 2015), but Dickey wants at least $13 million; at the same time, teams are only offering one significant prospect for Dickey in trade, and the Mets want two… so, we wait.

Though the museum is closed during our expansion and renovation, we are still committed to sharing our collection with members of our community throughout the region and beyond. Selections from the Speed's permanent collection can be seen in two traveling exhibitions at venues around the country. In addition to these wonderful exhibitions, the Speed tries to make its collections accessible to institutions in the commonwealth and elsewhere by contributing to a number exhibitions and temporary installations.
Rembrandt, Rubens, Gainsborough and the Golden Age of Painting in Europe features 69 paintings, all of which represent the best of The Speed's especially fine collection of Old Master paintings. The collection is particularly strong in northern European and Flemish painting of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Highlights of the show include works by Rembrandt, Rubens, van Dyck, Teniers, Jordaens, Tournier, Ruisdael, Mignard, Crespi, de Troy, Largillière, Boucher, Batoni, Panini, Tiepolo, and Gainsborough. The exhibition has been extremely popular at its first six stops on the current tour schedule, with the cumulative attendance exceeding 117,000 visitors. See below for a list of venues for this exhibition. We hope you'll be able to visit these wonderful treasures from the collection before they make their way home to Louisville!
Tour Schedule:
The Speed houses one of the nation's largest and most significant collections of lithographs by the American expatriate artist James McNeill Whistler. Comprised of 88 prints - nearly half of the artist's lithographic output - the collection represents the span of Whistler's career as a lithographer, from his early experiments in 1878 to the last works he produced before abandoning the medium in 1897. The collection is also complemented by a lithographic portrait of Whistler by his printer Thomas Way. The Speed is so pleased to share these prints with select institutions as a traveling exhibition during our expansion and renovation. See the short exhibition schedule below for information on where you can see these prints while our doors are closed.

CANTON Wind, rain and low temperatures werent enough to stop little witches, ghosts and goblins from trick-or-treating down Main Street in the Village Saturday afternoon.
Although the number of children dressed up and eager for candy was significantly lower this year, Phantoms in the Park began as scheduled at noon Saturday, with face and pumpkin painting, cookie decorating, games of cornhole and mummy wrapping at booths with volunteering students from St. Lawrence University and SUNY Canton.
Anything just to entertain them while theyre here and keep them warm, said Shelby L. Poulton, a senior at SUNY Canton.
Elliot R. Woodward, a 7-year-old from Potsdam, walked around the park scaring many in his path. Dressed in a black robe with a huge and scary carved pumpkin for a head, Mr. Woodward was a phantom in the park for the first time this year, and was on a mission for one thing candy.
Wyatt M. Newman, 8, Canton, was the brightest monster in the park with a pink-and-orange costume and pink sparkly lip-gloss and eye shadow.
She and her gangster sister, Rorie L., 11, who was dressed in a pinstriped suit and fedora, both were hoping to win the costume contest.
The contest was judged by both St. Lawrence University and SUNY Canton students.
Erin E. Kuhn and her friend Colleen B. Ryan, both juniors at St. Lawrence and two of the judges for the contest, had their eyes open for the best costumes.
The costumes are so cute and pretty creative, said Miss Kuhn.
Miss Ryan said the costumes were judged by categories.
So theres scariest, most original, most creative use of recycled materials, funniest and most patriotic, she said.
From the park, the mini cowboys, princesses, monsters and werewolves paraded down Main Street, stopping for candy at businesses along the way.
We have a couple crossing guards that are going to help lead the kids through, and well hand out candy as they walk by, Miss Poulton said.
Chris R. Grant, a manager at American Theatre, said hes passed out candy to the Phantoms in the Park participants a few years in a row.
Its nice for the businesses to get involved with a fun, family event, he said. It was much smaller than usual and Im just assuming thats because of the rain and cold.
The cold and rain had a big effect on the number of trick-or-treaters this year, according to Rainbow L. Crabtree, owner of Natures Storehouse. She said she noticed the crowd Saturday had about half as many children as usual.
The trick-or-treating normally goes on for quite a bit longer, but the kids were all dressed up and excited to be there, she said. Its an opportunity to dress up and connect with the kids.
Ms. Crabtree said she was handing out Yummy Earth natural lollipops, and had many left over to sell in the store.

By MICHAEL OVERSONSun Advocate reporter
Billy R. Webb, an 87 year old man from Price, was found dead on March 27 in Indian Canyon.
On March 20 an "attempt to locate" (ATL) on a missing person was issued out of Price for Webb. He left his residence in his 2009 Toyota Rav-4 and had not been heard from for some time, according to a Utah Highway Patrol (UHP) press release.
A Helper City fire department volunteer was searching the area of State Road 191 on Saturday at mile marker 264 when he came across Webb's vehicle, according to UHP.
The UHP investigation is showing that the vehicle was traveling Southbound and went off the roadway to the left side and down an embankment approximately 300 feet. Mr. Webb was still seat belted in his vehicle and was deceased at the time he was found, according to official reports.
The UHP does not think that speed, alcohol and drugs were factors in the crash.

(WZZM) - 'Tis the season for giving. Opening your heart and your wallet is a nice gesture, but some people claim nice guys (and girls) finish last. That's why it's important to make sure your generosity goes where you want it to go and to make sure you don't end up getting scammed.
We spoke with Phil Catlett of the Western Michigan Better Business Bureau about the topic. "You need to take the time to investigate it thoroughly before you give or buy something. That's probably the best advice we could give you about anything that involves your money," Catlett said.
He recommends using the BBB's website give.orgto check any charity that you're contemplating. "We have twenty standards for non-profits that we investigate and they have to pass all twenty standards before they can become an accredited charity. So if you go through give.org and they are an accredited charity, you know you have a very solid organization you're giving to."
One of the BBB's first tips is make sure the charity you're contemplating donating to is forthright. According to Catlett, "If you find a charity that isn't willing to share with you an annual report, or isn't willing to tell you exactly where the money comes from and where the money is going, you don't want to donate to those people because they're trying to hide something. You want total transparency."
In fact they should be able to tell you exactly what percentage is going directly to the cause and what percentage is going for overhead costs. The BBB says at least 65% of your donation should go directly to the cause.
Catlett also advises you look out for groups that are trying to confuse you with their name. "They will quite often name their charity one word different than a very good and legitimate one."
Also don't be confused by the words "Tax Exempt". That means nothing to you. "Tax Deductible" is what will benefit you come next tax season.
If you text your donation, be aware sometimes it takes weeks or even months forit to be processed, so the transaction may not be official before the end of the tax year. Catlett says the safest way to donate is by check.
Lastly, if you are skeptical about people coming to your door, or calling you, you should be. "You should immediately think twice if they are calling you. Our advice to you is never give to those people directly, ask them to leave you documentation that you can investigate."

WATERTOWN, Mass. (AP) - The surviving suspect in the horrifying attack on the Boston Marathon is being held at a hospital after being captured following a pair of shootouts with police.
Authorities say Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is in serious condition after an arrest that happened only after police lifted a lockdown that had largely paralyzed the Boston area.
Officials say Tsarnaev and his brother set off the twin explosions at Monday's marathon, killing three people and injuring more than 180 others.
Twenty-six-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a shootout with police earlier Friday.
Authorities say the brothers also killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer during their spree.
A Justice Department official says the Boston Marathon bombing suspect will not be read his Miranda rights because the government is invoking a public safety exception.
That official and a second person briefed on the investigation say Tsarnaev will be questioned by a special interrogation team for high-value suspects. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to disclose the information publicly.
The public safety exception permits law enforcement officials to engage in a limited and focused unwarned interrogation of a suspect and allows the government to introduce the statement as evidence in court. The public safety exception is triggered when police officers have an objectively reasonable need to protect the police or the public from immediate danger.
Celebrations erupted in Boston and beyond as the capture of the remaining marathon bombing suspect was announced in a tweet from police.
In the neighborhood where Tsarnaev engaged in a firefight with police while hiding out in a parked boat, dozens of people at a police barricade cheered and applauded as law enforcement officers and emergency responders left the scene.
The jubilation was widespread. The mayor of Boston tweeted, "We got him!" And at the home of the New York Mets, fans leapt to their feet and cheered.

I've mostly used my 9 year old Atlas 1030's on flat ground, some side hilling etc., in some powder and hard pack. This last weekend I was met with sun softened snow, crusty snow, crusty snow with hard snow underneath. It might have been ok, except for the steepness, where crampons would have been nice. At one point, I almost turned back as I could not get enough traction and fell forward and then coming down, had to hit some rocks to make my way for a short distance until the mountain leveled off some. Quite the snow camping trip, we did set up camp before attempting the steeper mountain., I was with 3 other younger souls. We were in Desolation Wilderness by Cathederal Lake, trying for Mt Tallac. I've only been up there once and that was 12-15 years ago in the summer. I now know the snow route and know I could make it over the ridge to Gilmore with crampons. Every little bit of experience adds up.Duane
I have crampons & these - depends upon conditionshttp://hillsound.com/hillsound-product/trail-crampon/
Duane,Do you have any pics and a description of your trip last weekend? From where we were, Winnemucca Lake, we could see Mt Tallac in the distance. We used Kahtoola Microspikes with great success on some pretty steep stuff. The Lightning Ascents worked well on the side hill and straight up but the Northern Lites Backcountry were marginal straight up and almost useless side hill.
Edited by meld on 02/20/2013 16:39:57 MST.
eric chan i think posted an article a while back about snowshoe related accidents. sounds like you were a couple of steps away from being a statistic. more than once i've found myself switching between msr evo's and 12 point crampons when an assent/decent has had mixed conditions. it's really a tuff desicion in the field as to what to do. as good as the msr's are with their cleats, it's not a really good substitute for full-on crampons. Down-climbing or steep side-hills in snowshoes, no matter the brand can be pretty hairy. i too have been steps away from disaster.
Marc, I have a bunch of pics over on Classic Camp Stoves, Action Gallery section.Yep, I was thinking may have bit off more than we needed. We were all adults, they could move on or go down, which was about where I was at. I was the only one with Atlas shoes, everyone else had some version of MSR's. Gabe had on some Neos also which were a hindrance on the steep stuff. Andy had some double boots, he kicked in going down which helped me at times going down until I had to head for the rocks briefly a few times. Excellent views up there.Duane
I have Atlas 1030's as well. From watching others, MSR Ascents seem to offer quite a bit more traction. The Atlas shoes have never been so bad that I was willing to spend the money to upgrade.I definitely switch to crampons when the slope/firmness/exposure make a slip likely or dangerous. The worst conditions have been with a hard crust over soft soup. Snowshoes sketchy on top, but boots/crampons punch through into the soup.As always in the mountains, your route often needs to adjust to match conditions. Sometimes the safe route is not the easier one.
Edited by rmjapan on 06/19/2015 10:37:12 MDT.
Those would have been better than the bit of crampon my Atlas' have. At least with those I think you could punch in better if needed to get thru the top layer when the surface was not all hard or ice. On the steep stuff but not super steep, if the surface was loose, my snowshoes slid downhill and I'd fall to my knees/gloved hands.Rick, I see you have a XTherm pad, has it gotten any quieter?Duane
Edited by rmjapan on 06/19/2015 10:48:25 MDT.
Thank you Rick for the Xtherm info. It may not be a deal breaker.I'll keep my Atlas shoes, hard to find the funds for something that still works good enough, just need to be more selective next time on routes/adventures.Duane
I have Atlas 800 series 'shoes and slid 40 meters down a steep mountainside while using them. I landed against a tree, injuring my shoulder.THEN I bought a pair of MSR Lightning Ascent 'shoes and never had another traction problem on any surface, icy, steep or otherwise. Best 'shoes for traction ever, IMHO.

MADRID The Madrid-Waddington Central School Board of Education will decide Thursday whether to cut or reduce the time allotted to its library media specialist position.
As it mulls filling the job, the board is considering cutting the position from full time to half time or combining it with another position. The position, which was vacated last year, is held by a long-term substitute.
Under state requirements, its a half-time position, Superintendent Lynn M. Roy said Friday. We are looking at whether this person could be combined with another area, for example, with a teacher certification.
The change would add to the districts growing list of education cuts in the past several years. Positions and programs in elementary education, art, music, health, driver education and elementary counseling have been cut or reduced through attrition.
The cuts are part of the districts overall efforts to stave off insolvency. The district is expected to be no longer financially viable in 4.3 years, Mrs. Roy said.
The board has yet to determine the savings of reducing the position, but Mrs. Roy said it wont significantly affect the overall budget.

While there are plenty of war babies, depression babies and even some post World War I babies still around, the baby boomers are getting the attention, because they are and will be the biggest group of older people this country has ever seen in one bulge. They are living longer and being more active than any group their age before them. Fifty years ago when someone was 60 years old they were almost ready to hang it up; today 60 year olds are skydiving, skiing, doing all kinds of things and many are still working at life long career jobs and intend to keep it that way for some time.
In 2007 those over 65 numbered 37.9 million in a county of nearly 300 million people. That was up over 11 percent from 10 years before. Today the average life expectancy of those who reach age 65 is another 19 years, a far cry from a time in America not that long ago that 65 was considered an advanced age.
But even 85 is starting to not be considered old. The number of people living over 100 is increasing rapidly. In 2007 ther were over 80,000 individuals in the United States that were 100 years old or older. That is up 117 percent above 1990 figures, less than 20 years ago.
What does this all mean? Some of what will happen is unknown because this bulge of older humanity has never happened before. But then when the baby boomers came of age in the 1960's and 70's many predicted it was a generation that would self destruct before it ever got to retirement. Well despite a war that tore apart the country (Vietnam), a president who resigned before he was convicted of a crime, a weak economy and national defense in the late 1970's, 9-11, terrorist wars and the greatest recession in the history of the United States next to the great depression, the rock and roll generation has survived.
The fact is that the older population will continue go grow significantly through the middle of this century. The biggest growth will take place between 2010 and 2030 as the boomers begin to hit 65. By 2020 there will be 55 million people over the age of 65 in the United States; that will be a 36 percent increase over the number of people that age in 2010. By 2030 there will be about 72 million people 65 or older. More importantly those over the age of 85 will dramatically increase too with 6.6 million people being over that age in 2020.
The ramifications of this growth for retirement systems, healthcare and business will be huge. Legacy costs for many businesses who have pension funds could be astronomical, while healthcare facilities could be overloaded and taxed to the maximum.
Presently the major sources of income for older people include social security (reported by 89 percent of older people), income from assets (reported by 55 percent), private pensions (reported by 29 percent), government employee pensions (reported by 14 percent) and earnings (reported by 25 percent). Social security constituted 90 percent or more of the income received by 32 percent of all social security beneficiaries.

GRAY, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- People who want to get out on the ice right now are getting a warning from the Maine Warden Service.
Over the weekend, there were at least 8 cases where people and vehicles went through the ice around the state. No one was hurt, but people lost trucks, ATVs and snowmobiles.
The Warden Service said more people are using the ice because we've had a lot of cold days, and we haven't had much snow. It's easy for people just to drive on from boat launches, and there are more snowmobilers on the ice because they don't have a lot of options. But because temperatures have been so volatile, the ice is not very clear or strong in a lot of spots, so game wardens say it can be deceiving.
Their advice is to talk to local people who know the lakes and ponds well before you get out on them. Ice fishermen are a particularly good resource, as they actually drill down and see how thick the ice is. Corporal John MacDonald with the Warden Service said, "Are people going to go out and snowmobile and ice fish, yes. And we hope they do so. But be very very careful where you go."
Wardens said right now it is not safe for anyone to drive a vehicle on the ice unless they have taken extraordinary precautions.

North country residents who struggle some months to put food on the table can go to their local food pantry to receive an emergency supply of groceries.
But the well-balanced meals dont just appear on pantry shelves. While food drives directly benefit community pantries, the bulk of the items come from the Food Bank of Central New Yorks 74,000-square-foot warehouse at 7066 Interstate Island Road, Syracuse.
The food pantries and soup kitchens are outsourcing their needs to us, said Thomas F. Slater, Food Bank executive director. Were one central agency covering 11 counties.
The nonprofit serves Cayuga, Chenango, Cortland, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Oswego and St. Lawrence counties. Mr. Slater said although the agency has Central New York in its name, its partnerships with Northern New York food pantries are just as important as the other areas it serves.
The warehouse pushes out about 12 million pounds of food each year, which is 2 million more than at its previous, smaller space in East Syracuse.
Ms. Slater said the agency moved in October 2010 to accommodate the increased need for food throughout all 11 counties, and to expand offerings that may have been too sporadic. After the move into the massive dry-goods, cooler and freezer space, the Food Bank was able to take in large amounts of U.S. Department of Agriculture commodities, such as a 250,000-pound order of chicken leg quarters. They came in 10-pound bags.
Something we never got before now come on a regular basis the produce, meats and dairy, Mr. Slater said.
More product is sent to the Food Bank through partnerships with grocery chains such as Big M, Hannaford, Walmart, Sams Club, BJs Wholesale Club and Wegmans.
Mr. Slater said meat can be pulled from a grocery stores meat case the day before its sell-by date and be put into the stores freezer to save the product for shipment to the Food Bank.
The former Plainville Turkey Farm warehouse now resembles a Sams Club-style operation, where rows of goods on pallets are stacked four levels high. Mr. Slater said more than 100 products are available at any given time, including macaroni and cheese and soups in the dry-storage area, fresh fruits and vegetables and yogurt in the cooler, and meat and other items in the freezer.
The $8 million annual operation has 50 employees, from office staff to warehouse workers to vehicle drivers who deliver food to pantries and soup kitchens.
About $2 million of the operating cost comes from public donations and foundations, such as the Northern New York Community Foundation. The rest comes from grant sources that include the federal and state governments; much of that money comes from the state Department of Healths Hunger Prevention and Nutrition Assistance Program. Through that program, food pantries receive a specific grant amount they divide up each month to determine how much food they can request through the Food Bank.
Pantries can decide on their shipment dates, but there is coordination among pantries and the Food Bank to help reduce fuel costs. The agencys fuel bill for February alone was $5,800, Mr. Slater said.
The Food Bank, Mr. Slater said, does more than push food out its doors. It promotes health and wellness among its staff, as it has a small on-site gym, and offers educational opportunities for people associated with the food pantries and soup kitchens it serves. The warehouse has a mock food pantry set up to show the best way to organize area pantries to help give clients more food choices and maximize storage space.
Included in the Food Banks office space is a demonstration kitchen, where the chef on staff demonstrates how to prepare various meals using a few items that clients may receive from their local food pantry.
Depauville Food Pantry coordinator Maria Donovan said she couldnt be more thankful for the support that comes from the Food Bank even before its deliveries reach north country pantries.
She said that despite an occasional donation from a grocery store or the Cape Vincent Correctional Facility, her agency would not survive without the Food Banks deliveries. About 60 families per month are served at the Depauville pantry.
A lot of pantries would otherwise end up closing, or cut back, she said. Wed like to have more people use us here. We dont refuse anybody.
While the Depauville Food Pantry offers a seven-day emergency supply of food, the allotment at other pantries might be for only three days or five days.
The Christian Life Fellowship Grace Food Pantry, Gouverneur, offers people 12 to 14 days worth of food per month, according to the Rev. Robert F. LaVeck, church pastor.
He said that although he missed the deadline last year to apply for Grace Food Pantrys main grant through the Food Bank this year, his agency has benefited from being a faith-based organization. The community has donated enough food to keep St. Lawrence Countys largest food pantry in operation throughout 2013.
The Rev. Mr. LaVeck said he still buys food from the Food Bank with donations that come in.
Mr. Slater said that while operations seem to be booming, he worries that at any moment, the federal government could eliminate regional food banks and just put more money into the food stamp program.
The state recently announced $3.6 million in funding to create regional food hubs, including one in Canton, but Mr. Slater said he doesnt see that as changing the Food Banks business.I think its a different population, but we might be able to collaborate, he said.
Although people can contribute funds to their local food pantry, Mr. Slater said, direct donations to the Food Bank can help stretch dollars further, since the agency can order items by the truckload at deeply discounted prices.

Disney Parks unveiled a 25-foot-tall, 45,000-pound castle made of ice as the sun rose over Times Square October 17, 2012 in New York City. The icy structure was unveiled during the Disney Parks announcement of 'Limited Time Magic' that will take place throughout 2013 at Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Next year, each week at the Disney theme parks will be highlighted by a different surprise or guest enhancement for a one-week-only engagement. Each weekly surprise, many never-before-seen in the Disney Parks, will include entertainment, dining, character experiences and more. Each one will disappear after seven days and make way for the next week's Limited Time Magic experience. The ice castle in Times Square -- which took more than 12 hours to construct and craft -- demonstrates the short-lived nature of Disney's Limited Time Magic.

Kids Go Mobile – stay safe online
Guest post by Pamela Ward
Ever found yourself jamming a device into your kids hands just for a bit of peace and quiet? Of course you have … we all have … anything to buy yourself a bit of time to do whatever it is we grown-ups need to do, right? Subsequently you find yourself squeezing feelings of guilt into the back of your mind as you admittedly have no idea what your little angels are viewing.
Parents' stories of the funny things they've witnessed their preteens engaging in online never ceases to entertain me. However, the stories I hear about adolescent girls searching for their identity and acceptance online leaves me feeling significantly more concerned. Various apps and sites allow girls to post provocative pictures of themselves in order to gain the approval of an online community – a community whose motives are questionable and show little empathy for the person whose photo they're commenting on (not to mention what they might reuse that photo for).
It's hard for parents to keep up with the ever-changing apps and websites their kids use to communicate, and it's near impossible to protect kids from viewing inappropriate content. With determination to make it easier for parents to keep up, I started KidsGoMobile. At KidsGoMobile we're developing software that takes the guesswork out of digital parenting by keeping you informed about risky activity your kids engage in on their devices, with practical advice for mitigating these risks. To see how the software works check out our Kickstarter video.
Right now we're using Kickstarter to raise money towards completing the development of this software. Parents who want to be among the first to experience the benefits should pledge to support the campaign and will receive the software package as soon as it's complete. Our team are committed to influencing the new generation of kids to become safe and responsible digital citizens, and we believe this software is the first step!

Jackpot City Birdhouse
This post was written by Max Ballard
Birds are a very important part of the environment and we should all do as much as we can to conserve them. There are over 10,000 different species of birds, but the numbers of birds in many of these species are reducing, in fact some species are in danger of extinction.
If you love birds, then you will know of the delights that they can bring when they come to your garden, filling your open space with their birdsong. Birds also serve many other useful purposes, for instance they control insect populations, they help keep down rodents, and they play a vital role in the distribution of plant seeds, thus conserving woodland and meadows.
One way of helping conserve our birds is by providing them with a home in the form of a birdhouse. Not all bird species will nest in a birdhouse, but in the UK there are at least 50 that will. A birdhouse is also an excellent way in which we can learn about birds and their behaviour. They are particularly useful in urban settings where there is a shortage of natural nesting places. There are many different kinds of birdhouse, and some are more suitable for certain species that others.
If you are thinking of installing a birdhouse in your garden, then you could choose to build or buy a traditional one or you could chose to purchase one of the novelty birdhouses that have become popular. There is a big choice of alternative designs, but one that is a great deal of fun is the Jackpot City Birdhouse available at Amazon.
This is the ideal choice for bird lovers who enjoy a little action too, JackpotCity mobile casino as it is styled on an old fashioned American casino. It is manufactured in wood and is brightly coloured, it ticks all the boxes too and provides the perfect nesting environment for a large number of bird species. You can hang it from a tree or install it on a bird stand.
Whether it will improve your luck at roulette and blackjack is debatable, but according to some customer reviews some people are optimistic that it will. One thing of which is a sure bet is that the birds will love it.

Financially preparing for fatherhood
Guest post by Alex Summers
According to some people, you can never really be prepared for fatherhood – or parenthood, for that matter. You can mentally prepare for the joy and the new challenges that you will face. However, it's not until you're actually in the situation that the true preparation begins.
But although you can't predict the future, there are steps you can take to prepare your finances for your new arrival. Whether you're expecting your first child or second or third child, the cost of caring for a family has skyrocketed over the past decade or so. Some families are discovering that they have more expenses than income.
Realistically speaking, you cannot wave a magic wand and wish more money on your paycheck. But you can take steps to financially prepare for this new journey in your life.
1. Pay down your credit card debt
Caring for a new bundle of joy will increase your monthly expenditures. Therefore, the less credit card debt you owe, the better.
New expenses may include daycare, higher health insurance premiums, formula, diapers and other baby supplies. Additionally, you will deal with a variety of unexpected expenses. If you don't have the money to care for your new financial obligations, this can place a heavy weight on your shoulders.
To reduce the likelihood of economic problems, devise a plan to pay down your consumer debt, including credit cards, personal loans and other loans. Even if you can't payoff your balances in full, try and knock down these balances. This way, you can reduce how much you owe – which can free up money to cover you new expenses.
2. Scale back on expenses
Maybe the issue isn't too much credit card debt but rather too many household expenditures. You may not be able to reduce your housing payment or your automobile payment, but you may be able to reduce how much you spend in other areas.
For example, if you're currently spending a lot on groceries, could you clip coupons or buy generic to save money? Or if you and your wife currently eat out three or four times a week, could you scale back to once a week or once every other week. Likewise, you can reduce household expenditures by canceling unnecessary services, such as gym memberships or expensive cable packages.
3. Buy life insurance
If you haven't already, now is as good a time as ever to think about purchasing life insurance. And the best part is: you can actually buy life insurance online. This eliminates the middleman and simplifies the buying process.
The benefits of life insurance are undeniable, especially for the breadwinner of a family. The death benefit can help loved ones maintain a certain standard of living and provide future income to spouses and children.
With a policy, your wife doesn't have to worry about how she'll pay the bills, clothe the children or pay for college tuition.
Fatherhood is a joyous, yet stressful time in your life. However, despite the challenges you may face, you can feel confident knowing that there's a financial plan in place to care for your family.

Trustworthy STD testing for families
Guest post by Alex Summers
It seems like just yesterday you were explaining to your young children where babies come from (perhaps using this hilarious vintage illustrated guide). Now they're a bit older and you have to tackle an even harder issue: how to avoid STDs.
Here's how I handled the conversation with each of my two children. I have to admit, I kinda screwed up the first one.
The scene: My son's bedroom in our Denver, Colo. home.
Me: Hi, Devon.
Devon, Age 15: Dad, you have to knock.
Me: Sorry.
I knock, even though Devon can see me in the doorway. This is a bad start; I'm now beginning the conversation from a point of weakness.
Me: Um, so I wanted to tell you… you know you're growing older, and…
Devon: Is this a sex thing? I already know about sex.
Me: Well, I actually wanted to talk about STDs.
Devon: I already know about STDs.
Devon looks at me as if realizing his dad is the biggest idiot on the planet, for assuming he doesn't know about STDs. Humiliated, I leave.
That was the extent of my conversation with my son Devon about STDs. I wanted to tell him so much more; that we would love him no matter what happened to him, that we wanted him to make good choices, that sex was a huge responsibility that had to be handled appropriately — but not, of course, until he was much older! I wanted to tell him that he needed to get himself tested before every new relationship; that there were many STD clinics in the greater Denver area and that it wasn't embarrassing to go get tested, it was actually part of being a real man and a good partner. It helped to know that our family lived less than a mile from a clinic offering the best STD testing Denver has to offer.
I never got to tell my son these things. I pulled a typical dad move and left the rest of his sex education to his mother.
Then Devon's sister Abby entered her teenage years. As psychology studies note, a teenage girl's relationship with her father is crucial to helping her navigate the road to adulthood. Without a positive, affirming, loving father in her life, my dear Abby would be more likely to look for that affirmation from other sources, including from boys that might not treat her like the special person I knew she was.
Here's how the conversation went this time:
The scene: me driving Abby home from band practice. As many parents quickly learn, cars are often the best places for parents to talk to their children about important issues.
Me: Abby, I want to talk to you about something important, but I want to do it in a way where we don't feel embarrassed.
Abby, Age 15: Okay.
Me: The teachers at school said that in your sophomore year, some kids start experimenting with sex.
Abby immediately gets a little uncomfortable.
Me: It's okay, that's kind of the age when everyone starts talking about sex. Including me. You're becoming a sophomore, so I'm going to start talking about it too!
I accompany this statement with a huge grin. Abby begins to relax.
Me: Well, what I really want to talk to you about right now is STDs. I know I'm going to sound like an idiot, but you know that you can get diseases, right?
Abby: Yes.
Me: You're going to hear a lot of people say that wearing condoms is enough to protect you from disease, but there are some types of STDs that you can get even while wearing a condom. What I'm saying is that when you're ready to start having sex — which I hope you're going to be responsible about and wait for — you need to be really careful about spreading disease.
Abby: What do you mean?
Me: I mean that if someone asks you to have sex and doesn't want to wear a condom, you have to say no. And even with condoms, you need to get yourself regularly tested for STDs. There are clinics all around the city, or you can go to your gynecologist. Or you can talk to your mom or me. We won't be mad, I promise. We just want to help you stay safe and healthy. We're all on the same team.
Then Abby smiled. She actually smiled! Score one for Dad.
Even the most trustworthy STD testing Denver teens have their disposal won't matter if you don't talk to them about it. Talking about sex and STDs can be awkward and embarrassing, but it's something that all parents have to do. What I've found is that approaching the sex talk from a place of love, and not devaluing your child's intelligence, is the best way to make this conversation a success.
How about you? How have you handled the big sex talk?

Celebrate the series with Sherlock chic in your own home
Guest post by Hari Apostolides
It has come, the announcement that so many of us have been waiting for – filming for series three of the BBC's Sherlock Holmes has been completed and we can hardly wait for it (and Benedict Cumberbatch's wistful looks) to hit our screens once more.
The televised masterpiece brings the traditional character conceived by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle into the 21st century, as he uses modern technology to solve crimes in modern-day London, in a critically acclaimed coupling of the old and the new.
What will people be doing, then, to celebrate the new series? Perhaps staging a marathon sit-in watching the first two back-to-back? Alternatively, the keener fans may want to recreate this melange of the old and the new by giving their home a Sherlock Holmes update. After all, interior design heralding from this era was – and is – very trendy indeed.
So how to do this? Well, the periods to consider are that of the Victorians – which straddles the turn of the century – and the Edwardians. In terms of styles, you will hear two movements being talked about: namely, Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau.
The Arts & Crafts period started in England towards the beginning of the 19th century, flourishing around the 1850s/60s and lasting up until Art Nouveau took over around the turn of the century, morphing into Art Deco as tassled flappers came out to play in the 1920s.
That said, it is worth mentioning that there is little point trying to define these artistic movements and periods between two set dates, as their influences were discernible long after the historians may have officially declared a movement over.
What is so perfect about Victorian style is that it can be so seamlessly brought up to the modern day – just like Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss have done with our much-loved detective in their award-winning television series.
Combine influences from the Arts & Crafts movement and that of the Nouveau era – with some European flavours, most notably from Paris – and you're already on the right lines.
Think mould detailing, beautiful cornices and fancy fireplaces – perhaps made to look all the more intricate with some delicate paintwork, should you choose.
As for colours, burgundy, navy and plum hues, rich rubies, and elegant emeralds and greens were all popular at the time and – if you want your room to look extra plush – then why not incorporate a touch of golden detailing?
With the design as much about the architecture as it is about the furnishings in the room itself, this affords you a little more flexibility when it comes to furniture. However, for true Sherlock chic, nothing can beat some solid mahogany furniture – from a retailer such as Woodlands Furniture - to give a room that sense of timeless grandeur.
Especially somewhere like a study (after all, isn't that where we all sit and solve life's little mysteries?) or – if you are lucky enough to have one – a library or snug reading room, a beautiful mahogany desk or coffee table will instantly lift the room. What's more, you don't even have to part with eye-watering sums of cash for such pieces, as replica furniture from a good retailer will cost a fraction of the price and still look absolutely fantastic.

3 last minute DIY Halloween costumes
It's 4pm on Halloween and you're down to the wire … no costume and cranky kids … what do you do? Fear not – DIYFather is here to help. Here are 3 ideas for costumes with stuff you already have in the house:
1. THE SUPER EASY & QUICK OPTION: Be a mummy – get some toilet paper and wrap your kid in it. Done.
2. THE 15 MINUTES OPTION WITH BALLOONS AND BAGS: Be a bag of Jelly Beans – wear white tights or skinny trousers, blow up a few balloons (small) in various colors. Attach the balloons to the body suit using tape. Take a clear trash bag, put the balloons inside, create arm holes in the bag and put your kids' arms through. Gather up the top of the bag and tie some ribbon around the bag at the neck. Done.
3. THE SOMEWHAT INVOLVED 60 MINUTES OPTION THAT REQUIRES AN OLD BLACK UMBRELLA AND BLACK FELT: Be a bat – (you will need an umbrella, black felt, a needle and some thread for this costume). Dress in dark pants and a dark hooded sweatshirt. Remove the handle from a small umbrella and then cut the umbrella in half. These are your two wings. Sew the cut edge of each half of the umbrella to the back of the arms of the sweatshirt. Cut out tall pointy ears from the black felt and sew them to the hood of the sweatshirt. If you have some black face paint – use it and make a bat face. Done.
Alternatively just hunt around the house and see what else you can find that you can make into a costume … cardboard boxes, wrapping paper, etc. You can pretty much make a costume out of anything – after all it's just for fun. Happy trick or treating!

Our Good Grips Microfiber Extendable Duster can extend from 24" to 52" to reach high up spaces. The pivoting head can be locked at an angle for efficient cleaning. The microfiber head is incredibly effective at trapping dust and dirt and is machine washable. The head folds down for compact storage when not in use.
Enter your zip code for product availability and pickup options at your nearest store or select a store by state.
Microfiber cleaning cloths are exceptionally efficient. The millions of tiny fibers in each strand attract, absorb and remove all kinds of dirt, dust and bacteria. Plus, microfiber naturally inhibits the spread of bacteria. Whereas traditional cotton cloths push around dirt and germs, microfiber traps it until washed.
It's also an environmentally friendly solution since it's reusable (rather than disposable) - and because it allows you to tackle many cleaning tasks without the need for harsh chemicals.
Microfiber allows you to clean larger surface areas before it has to be laundered. Once washed, it's renewed and ready to go again. To prolong it's effectiveness, do not use bleach or fabric softeners when laundering microfiber. Whenever possible, launder microfiber items by themselves, and never with towels or other items with a lot of lint. And never use high heat settings on microfiber.

The Safety and Effectiveness of Ganciclovir Plus Interferon Beta in Preventing the Return of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) of the Eyes in Patients With AIDS
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted

- How to Read a Study Record
The use of ganciclovir (DHPG) in combination with interferon beta to prevent relapse of cytomegalovirus retinitis in patients with AIDS. While early clinical trials have shown that 30 mg/kg/week of DHPG is usually sufficient to delay or prevent relapse, neutropenia is a common dose-limiting problem in about 50 percent of patients. Since in vitro data have suggested that there is synergism between DHPG and interferon beta against cytomegalovirus, a reduced dose of DHPG in combination with a low dose of interferon beta may prevent relapse without causing neutropenia. If remission can be maintained with low-dose DHPG and interferon beta, maintenance therapy with a moderate dose of interferon beta alone will be evaluated in a subsequent protocol.
