I love the idea of this card, but it needs improvement. It is very flimsy because of the minimal attachment to the back. Once I attached my liner paper, it felt like it was going to rip apart. One actually did when I was gluing. I will try with different paper and update my review if I need to. As of now, I am disappointed though.
I love this card. Yes you have to use good paper and maybe change your blade because it is cutting a lot. I have made 5 of them so far. In the Cricut Craft Room you can change it to what ever size you want.
Maybe it is something that I am doing wrong. But this does not cut as pictured. The hearts are all slanted a bit. It looks sloppy. It does not cut nicely shaped hearts.
I love this one. Yes, you do need to use heavier paper for the outside, but it folds nicely and looks so ornate. I'm learning to use the Cricut Craft Room layering with this and other V Day cards and it has been a great experience. Some of the other cards are not well designed at the fold, but not this one.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- Staff at Manna Ministries in Bangor have come up with a pretty good way to raise money for area women and children in need.
The first ever 'Harvest Fundraiser' will be held on Friday evening October, 12 2012 from 6 p.m. until 11 p.m. at the Bangor Elks Lodge.
It is taking place to benefit Ann's House, which is a shelter for homeless women and their children that was opened by Manna Ministries last January. Since then dozens of women have passed through 'Ann's House' seeking shelter and ways to get new housing.
The 'Harvest Fundraiser' will be a dinner and silent auction. Directors at 'Ann's House' say several businesses have donated prizes for people to bid on and that every dollar raised for the shelter will go a long way.
"We do provide 24 hour staffing here at Ann's House," said program director Sherry Molcan, "so it does cost money to keep things up and running with payroll and lights and heat and those kinds of things that will be coming up so the expenses to keep Ann's House going are usually $2,200 a week."
The auction will be taking place at the Bangor Elks Lodge on October 12th. There are still dozens of tickets left for $15 per person or $25 per couple.
To buy tickets contact Manna Ministries at (207)990-2870.

MASSENA – Joseph D. Gray announced in a press release issued Tuesday that he will seek the Republican Party nomination to run for a second term as Massena town supervisor.
First elected in 2009, Mr. Gray said his first term has been challenging, frustrating at times, but still enjoyable.
Mr. Gray said he will seek a second term to continue working on important issues for Massenas future and to change the way local government does business.
These are trying times in local government. Too many politicians in Albany and Washington spend their time in office bickering with the other party and promoting personal agendas. As a result, more and more demands are placed on local governments, Mr. Gray said.
Sadly, no money comes along with these mandates. State pension costs are out of control, some public employees feel they are entitled to more than what workers in the private sector receive, and local officials juggle the publics demand for services with the continual complaint that taxes are too high, he said.
Mr. Gray said the town of Massena is poised to deal with some very important, complex topics: the 10-year review of the New York Power Authoritys license; Mohawk land claims; improving the local economy and promoting what Massena has to offer.
Occasionally, a small idea can blossom into a bigger effort, he said.
I think we stumbled on something significant with FISHCAP. We have amazing natural resources that many of us have taken for granted all these years. When I held a meeting back in 2010 to talk about fishing, I was shocked that over 40 people showed up on a stormy February evening. Some of them travelled two hours to attend. Eventually that effort evolved into FISHCAP, Mr. Gray said, pointing to the success of the recent Bassmaster Elite tournament as an example of what is possible when it comes to sport fishing and the local economy.
But we cant stop there. We have to work harder to find different ways to grow our economy. We need to get more inventive to create jobs. We must find companies who can come to Massena to use our low-cost electricity and manufacture products with Alcoas aluminum, he added.
Listening to the public is important, Mr. Gray said, so plans for a campaign website and Facebook page are moving forward.
I want to know what people think of some of my ideas and the work Ive done so far. I want to hear their ideas and plans for our future. My door and ears are always open. Even if people dont agree with me or like what I do, I still want to hear from them. The most important thing is we all keep Massenas best interests at heart, he said.

The Tommaso Sixth Sense is designed to give triathletes the racing dominance of Shimano Dura Ace components on a premium 12K carbon frame. The Sixth Sense is a light, fast Italian bred triathlon bike that is built and designed with the legendary old world craftsmanship that makes our bikes second to none. An ultra- light weight 12K HCT (High-Modulous Carbon Technology) compact frame coupled with 20 Shimano Dura Ace equipped speeds, make this the right bike for all your triathlon adventures. The Sixth Sense is specifically engineered to provide you with thousands of miles of dependability and enjoyment. The Sixth Sense is part of the Tommaso Elite Engineered Carbon Series (EECS) of bikes which are engineered with Tommaso's HCT carbon and the FES (Flex Elimination System) technology. The FES creates a stiffer frame than our competitors can provide, giving you the most control possible over your bike, as well as a higher level of energy efficiency. This combination helps reduce body fatigue and lost efficiency, providing you with the ability to extend your rides to longer distances than you ever thought possible. Oh, and the best part, all Tommaso frames are warrantied for life, what other bike brand stands behind their product like this, none.
The Sixth Sense is equipped with a FSA 53/39T Gossamer External Bearings crankset up front and a Shimano Ultegra 12/25T, 10-speed cassette in the rear. This optimum gearing combination will allow you to effortlessly get up every hill, while giving you the gearing to increase your speed on the flats. The upgraded Tektro R520 brakes have the stopping power to allow you to let it fly on the descents with the knowledge that you can stop on a dime. The Sixth Sense is not just your ordinary carbon race bike, as it is outfitted with Shimano Dura Ace derailleurs and shifters and Shimano RS30 Aero wheels, all components that you normally only find on bikes costing thousands more. If you are looking for a great bike to get you on the road, but don't want to mortgage your house to own it, then the Tommaso Sixth Sense should be on the top of your list.
Why is the Tommaso Sixth Sense priced so much lower than the competition? Tommaso has decided that the best way to provide its legions of fans the best bike at the lowest price is to only sell its bike direct to the consumer. By selling direct, Tommaso has been able to eliminate 2 levels of the supply chain and deliver bikes at a cost of around 40% less than every other major brand. Tommaso feels that it's better to give you this savings than pay companies just to pass the bike along. Check out the Compare tab to see how Tommaso beats the competition.

Archive for the 'Virginia City' tag
Montana Automotive Archaeology
I enjoyed another visit to charming Virginia City, Montana, this past fall, and my sister made good on her promise to show me the Charlie Bovey collection of vintage auto parts in the Village Pump building.
This collection is not open to the public, as it's in the process of being preserved, but the kind folks at the Montana Heritage Commission may admit visitors on an individual basis upon special request. It seems that Mr. Bovey amassed quite a collection of veteran Ford parts, with other bits turning up here and there. Please forgive the flash, as it was quite dark inside…

Dr. Robert M. Howard's Ratings
Dr. Howard and his staff, we worked with Emma, did an outstanding job in making sure that my husband's prescription/glasses were perfect. My husband had an eye exam performed by another optometrist, a BIG mistake, because it took this other optometrist 3 times to finally get my husband's prescription correct. The entire time my husband had to keep going back to this other optometrist for re-exams, Emma was always very polite, helpful and diligent in making sure his prescription was done correctly by calling this other optometrist and explaining to her the problems he was having and this greatly exceeded good customer service. In the past we have both gone to Dr. Howard for our exams, which he did correctly the first time. Thus, in the future we will ONLY go to Dr. Howard for our eye exams and glasses. Thank-you Dr. Howard and Thank-you Emma, you were both outstanding!!!!!!!

CAPE NEDDICK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Before you even step foot into Pie in the Sky on Route 1 in Cape Neddick, you can smell the magic that's baking inside.
It's a smell that the Stern Family has grown accustomed to over 32 years. "Well, for one it's our butter crust, and the fact that we don't use any preservatives, and we're very particular about what we put in the fruit," Nancy Stern said. "And we make a very large pie that will serve easily eight people."
They make virtually any pie you could dream of - Macintosh apple, pumpkin cheesecake with triple chocolate ganache, and coconut custard with whipped cream, just to name a few.
Nancy, John, and Jessie Stern will bake over 500 pies this week for Thanksgiving.
"You just put your head down and work as hard as you can, and try to get some sleep so you have some energy to keep working," John said. "And it takes really the entire month to prepare for this particular week. We start November 1st doing organizational projects, figuring out our ordering," Nancy added.
Nancy and John started baking pies over 30 years ago from their tiny New York apartment. But after a few years there, they moved back to Maine, Nancy's home state. She's the creative mind behind all of these decadent creations and is completely self-taught. It's a job that keeps both of them constantly moving.
"It's a very active job. You have to be physically in shape, and once you start eating, you're going to weigh 400 pounds in about a week and a half. You reallyhave to stay away from it if you're going to stay in shape, and be healthy, and have a lot of energy," John said.
Being surrounded by sugar and butter all day can take a toll on your will power. But somehow, they both resist the urge.
"I can appreciate a pie, I can taste it, but I don't need to have a piece of it. It's fine," Nancy said. But for John, "I have a really hard time staying away from it, but I do stay away from it...sometimes."
On Thanksgiving day, the Stern family takes a break from baking pies, and begins a richly-deserved 3-week vacation.
Pie Crust
2 1/2 cups King Arthur Flous
8 oz. unsalted butter
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp cold orange juice
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Mix the flour, butter, and salt together very well in a mixer on slow speed. (A dough hook in any mixer would be good.)
With mixer still running, add the orange juice and apple cider vinegar in a steady stream.
Continue mixing until dough cleans the sides of the bowl. When it does this, shut the mixer off. This is the only tricky part as under mixing will yield a sticky dough and over mixing will yield concrete. Sometimes the dough will actually make a sucking/slurping sound as it starts to clean the side of the bowl.
Roll out the dough between two sheets of wax paper - no flour needed. We use 8 oz. for the top crust and 10 oz. for the bottom using a 10" deep dish pie plate. You will have to adjust that amount depending on the size pie plate you use.

Yeah I don't like how they handled that situation either. IMO they should reintroduce outdoor elite areas.Which is quite idiotic, if you ask me, because
1) they constantly put oil in the fire.
2) They removed every goddamn mob from the outdoor world that was even remotely able to kill you.
I remember back in the day, feeling in real danger when I suddenly strolled into an area filled with elite. Trying to take a few down and dying in the progress, now THAT made the world feel mean and alive. Areas where you don't stand a chance on your own.
But naaah they fill every spot with Mobs you can steamroll in greens and talk about how flying makes the world too safe. looool.
I agree, which is why I think a better solution to the flight problem would be to improve on its mechanics and flight's overall role in the game.Agreed. But people want to play MMOs for years. (Blizzard wants that too)
So at some point they need to add convenience.
I think that getting flight once leveling journey is complete feels good and very rewarding. It's a perfect point to give the player convenience.
For one thing, there should be more flying mobs, preferably elites that might hinder air travel. Daily quest areas should have defenses against flying enemies so that players can't drop straight down on their targets. To counterbalance this, all flying mounts should have vehicle mechanics that allow you to evade air attacks and retaliate. There should also be some way of using spells when in a dogfight or when facing anti-flying artillery. In order for the game to have this technical allowance, different types of combat should be implemented. That way, flight combat will function differently than ground combat in that you can't engage enemies that fight ground-style while flying.
Flying could make for compelling gameplay, but as it exists now it's merely a convenience that arguably has a negative net effect on gameplay.
Right, and I think the pressure that's put on Blizzard can be lessened by elongating certain aspects of gameplay.I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. By keeping more content coming faster, they avoid the number one criticism that's often levied against MMORPGs: a world that grows stagnant between raid content updates.

High Impact Mascara
High Impact Mascara is simply fantastic and is on our short list of favorite mascaras.
FANtastic Lash Mascara
This easy-to-apply lash lengthening mascara coats and separates lashes for a stunning fan-like effect.

Mascara is a makeup must that many people – even those who don't regularly use full face makeup – feel they need to wear to enhance their look. For a mascara to earn our highest rating, it must contain most, if not all, of these key features:
We have to hand it to the cosmetics chemists out there – the number of superior mascara formulas on the market is bigger than ever, and expanding almost monthly! There are also more brush choices than ever before, from thin combs with serrated edges to tightly-packed brushes full of nylon or rubber bristles, each providing different effects.
The best mascaras are a perfect marriage of brush and formula, with packaging components (such as the wiper) coming in a close second. Though the range of looks people want from their mascara varies widely (from dramatic almost false lashes to natural everyday looks), there are options of every variety on this list. We should also note that there are options in every price range as well!

Any information about this bracelet would be appreciated.
It looks so hand made and unique, I'm wondering if it is from a designer? Or what era it would be from? How much it is worth? It doesn't say anything on it anywhere except 14k. At least not that I can find. It weighs 58.4 g and is about 8 inches by 7/8 by 1/4 inches.
The fleur de lis charm is 18k, the other one is 14k.

Charm braclets like yours were very popular from the 1940's to the 1970's. Since it is only marked 14kt and no makers mark ,I do not believe it is a designer piece. It is very unfortunate ,but with gold prices as high as they have been in recent weeks and months many charm braclets have been melted for their scrap value. Gold today is $1758. an ounce.
The scrap value for your bracelet and the 2 charms is just around $1900. You would be offered probably a bit less (20% or more) if you were to sell the bracelet to one of the cash for gold type of shops.

Healing with Form, Energy and Light, by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
By Gesigewigu's | Leave a comment
Healing with Form, Energy, and Light: The Five Elements in Tibetan Shamanism, Tantra, and Dzogchen, by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche Snow Lion Publications, 1559391766, 159 pp (incl. glossary), 2002Bön is the indigenous Tibetan religion that predates Buddhism, often called Tibetan Shamanism. As a religious belief it had historically suffered a social oppression under the Lama culture of Buddhist Tibet, but His Holiness, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama has recognized Bön as one of the five major spiritual traditions in Tibet, which has led to a resurgence of information and interest in this traditions. Tenzin Wangyal is a Bön-po (practitioner), considered a Bön master and has spent his life studying Vajrayana and Bön. Due to this upbringing (and perhaps the modern state of the religion), the Bön in this book is heavily influenced by Tibetan Buddhism, as opposed to being "pure" Bön, which may not have existed for centuries and as a religion that mythologically dates its origin 17,000 years ago, one must expect some drift in beliefs and practices.

Originally published in 1944, The Road to Serfdom has profoundly influenced many of the world's great leaders, from Orwell and Churchill in the mid-'40s, to Reagan and Thatcher in the '80s. The book offers persuasive warnings against the dangers of central planning, along with what Orwell described as "an eloquent defense of laissez-faire capitalism".
Hayek shows that the idea that "under a dictatorial government you can be free inside," is nothing less than a grievous fallacy. Such dictatorial governments prevent individual freedoms, and they often use psychological measures to perform "an alteration of the character of the people". Gradually, the people yield their individuality to the point where they become part of the collectivist mass.
©1944 The University of Chicago (P)2010 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"This book was like a Mike Tyson (in his prime) right hook to socialism in Western Europe and in the United States. But its influence didn't stop there. It has inspired political and economic leaders for decades since—most famously Ronald Reagan. Reagan often praised Hayek when he talked about people waking up to the dangers of big government." (Glenn Beck)
"Shatters the myth that the totalitarianisms 'of the Left' and 'of the Right' stem from differing impulses." (National Review, 100 Best Non-Fiction Books of the Century)
"This book has become a true classic: essential reading for everyone who is seriously interested in politics in the broadest and least partisan sense." (Milton Friedman)
After listening to the entire book, I wonder why this work would not be mandatory reading in either high school or college. Hayek teaches us so much about why socialism fails. The work is timeless as it is as relevant now as it was when he wrote it in the 1940s. Hayek is very matter of fact and his thoughts are presented much differently than the typical political author today who tends to demonize and minimize their political opponents.
William Hughes does a great job narrating using emotion where appropriate, at times I feel like I might be listening to Hayek himself.
This is a must read regardless of your political beliefs.
"Insightful arguments, condescending performance"
Hayek is not the most exciting writer, but he is clear, and his discussion does hold your attention. Especially this book which is directed not at academics, but to us regular folk.
The discussion about the dangers of socialism is somewhat dated: the particular dangers he is concerned about are with regards to post-war England. Still, there are insights here that apply universally.
My main complaint is the condescending tone of the reader. I do not think the book is written as a talking down lecture. But it comes across this way through the reader.
My son and I have decided that this is now our absolutely favorite book ever - replacing what had held as our previous favorite for almost 20 years. It is just that good. We enjoy about 40 books a year together- mostly nonfiction. We got this book after listening to several other books recently which referenced it and after hearing that it was a pivitol work in forming the thinking of both Reagan and Thatcher. The author can say in one sentence things that took me many minutes to share with my husband. Every sentence is a gem.
"Good Book - Narration a bit monotonous"
Hayek does a very good job of describing and predicting how America went from an individualistic, capitalist nation to socialism. He describes how the switch is made in the name of fairness and security.
Love excellent narrators like Ray Porter. Love the Joe Ledger series.
"An excellent book spoiled by a bad narrator"
The book was and is revolutionary.
The narrator should be someone similar with the urgency in his voice.
Unfortunately, what i got a wheezing old, unemotional narrator with a voice so low and devoid of inflection, that he might have been a zombie.
One more example of Audible spoiling a good book by a bad narrator.
What's a good example of book and narrator complementing each other? Percy Jackson series. The narrator was BRILLIANT.
So was "All the Devils are here". The narrator understood what he was saying.
Audible: wake up and review these.
"Vital and Necessary"
Dr. Hayek offers very lucid and convincing arguments that socialism never worked, and won't work today or in the future. Buy a copy - audio or hardbound - and give it to your local politician, regardless of their specific political leanings.
"Should be required reading!"
This should be required reading in both high school and in college. It wouldn't hurt the teachers to read this either.
Gen-Xer, software engineer, and lifelong avid reader. Soft spots for sci-fi, fantasy, and history, but I'll read anything good.
"An important but misused book"
Don't let the Glenn Beck endorsement fool you; this might not be the book you were expecting. The Road to Serfdom is not a utopian view of capitalism as a solution to every problem, nor is it an anti-government manifesto. Rather, the book articulates a set of cautionary arguments against the temptations of collectivism, which might promise a more just or efficient world, but delegates to a central authority the power to decide exactly what "just" and "efficient" mean. In Hayek's view, the devil is in the details, and rarely does any distant authority have the information to set an array of prices, wages, production quotas, job assignments, and incentives in a way that's fair and functional. The more control the central authority assumes over the economy, the less responsive and transparent its micromanagement becomes, leaving many citizens frustrated and lacking motivation (as anyone who's ever dealt with any kind of massive bureaucracy can imagine). As political unrest grows, the authority will find itself in a position where it either has to relinquish control, or clamp down on freedoms (think of the line from the classic Who song: "...and the party on the left is now the party on the right").
Generally, I found Hayek's arguments carefully thought-out and sensible, responding to the views of his opponents without dismissing their concerns, intelligence, or good intentions (a feature of the book that seems to have been lost on people like Glenn Beck). As a moderate liberal, I would agree that fairly structured free markets work well enough for many things, allowing most people to meet their own needs and to pursue at least some of their wants. What works just fine shouldn't be discarded in a quest to fix what doesn't.
But, of course, the magic word is "most". Hayek does acknowledge that free markets aren't a panacea, and recognizes the need for social safety nets, public education, a minimum wage, anti-exploitation laws, consumer protection laws, environmental laws, and other features of modern liberal democracies. His concern isn't so much that the government might set regulations or provide public services, but that it do so without destroying the benefits of a competitive system or giving some interest group special advantages over others. He also argues against state-sponsored business monopolies, an indictment that would presumably include much of today's shameless lobbying and corporate welfare. That said, I thought he glossed over the possibilities of democratic socialism, wherein citizens form local cooperative arrangements that work with local government.
All in all, I think the Road to Serfdom remains, after so many decades, a book that continues to be relevant to discussions about economics in that it outlines a sober and sensible set of warnings against the dangers of utopian thinking. However, it also doesn't purport that capitalism is an innately fair or just system (an issue that a lot of modern day Tea Partiers and Randians seem in denial of), but one whose application must evolve with a society's needs. Trouble is, the devil is in the details either way you go, and Hayek leaves the USA of the early 21st century with a lot of questions that still need good answers. For example, what do we do with the many formerly middle class Americans whose jobs have been lost to globalism and advances in technology? Many of these citizens just aren't cut out for joining the intellectual class (doctor, engineer, professor, etc.), but forcing them to compete for wages with foreign workers or machines isn't a very palatable choice. At what point does Joe Average become a piece of expensive, obsolete equipment in the eyes of capitalism? While Hayek's book is still worth reading for its arguments, I fear we may be on our way out of the reality to which his analysis easily applied.
Faced with mindless duty, when an audio book player slips into a rear pocket and mini buds pop into ears, old is made new again.
It seems common that authors of popular, sometimes classic, books are often interpreted by people who have not read them. Authors like Harriet Beecher Stowe, Richard Wright, Ayn Rand, Vladimir Nabokov, and Friedrich Hayek are frequently commented on but when one reads what they wrote, content often becomes a surprise.
Conservatives that rant against government regulation based on Hayek's "Road to Serfdom" are as incorrect as liberals that argue Hayek wrote against social government programs for the poor, disabled, and unemployed. Both myopic views reveal the likelihood that "Road to Serfdom" has not been read by either party.
Listen to what Hayek really wrote rather than what politicians of the right and left say he wrote. William Hughes does a nice job of revealing the truth in a narration of Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom".

No course care over the past 20 years has left Kentwood as "kentrock." Many small exposed stones leave your plastic mangled and the chains will leave even a 8' to cut thru of bounce back at you. Chuckers everywhere with the impeding "fore's" and discs coming at you over the top. Champ Grooves are everywhere out here lol

Very well kept course and has hills, dog legs, creeks, and plenty of shots to test your skills. Will be back to play for sure.

Fun, short, crowded. Some technical baskets along with some wide-open shots. College students play here year-round, so if you're looking for a quiet round, this is not the place. Tons of friendly locals willing to start a round!

Posted By Allergic Living On 2010/08/31 @ 9:06 pm In Food Allergy | No Comments
Do you sometimes feel sick to your stomach not long after eating? Have you noticed a pattern in the types of food you eat when this occurs?
Perhaps you have experienced unexplained skin rashes (known as hives) or vomiting or diarrhea? Does your child refuse to eat a certain food, or complain that it makes his "tongue hurt"? These could be signs of a food allergy, and should be taken seriously.
It is common for the symptoms of food allergy to vary by individual – and from reaction to reaction in the same person. Not everyone will get all the symptoms, which range greatly in severity from mild to severe (and even fatal): your throat may feel tight on one exposure to your allergen or you may get itchy hives on your skin and vomiting with the next.
The Range of Symptoms
-Tingling in the mouth
-Swelling of the tongue and throat / feeling of throat tightness
-Itchy skin, hives or skin redness
-Abdominal cramps
-Vomiting or diarrhea
-Breathing difficulty, wheezing
-Faintness due to a sudden drop in blood pressure
Symptoms reviewed by Dr. Susan Waserman
Anaphylaxis is the severe form of allergic reaction. It involves one or more of the body's symptoms; for example, the gastrointestinal tract, the respiratory tract, the skin and the cardiovascular system. A person experiencing anaphylaxis often has difficulty breathing, and the person could lose consciousness. Anaphylaxis puts a person at risk of death.
Anaphylactic reactions can come on quickly, and it's impossible to know when a reaction will become severe. It's important that people with food allergies are prepared for a reaction by always carrying an epinephrine auto-injector (either EpiPen or Auvi-Q/Allerject).
Experts recommend using epinephrine early if a person known to be at risk of anaphylaxis begins to show signs of allergy symptoms – don't wait until the symptoms worsen, as it may become to difficult put a halt to the reaction once it's in progress.

As more of President Obama's "Now is the Time" agenda announced in January is implemented, more and more concerns are being expressed over the impact on privacy and the right to own firearms. Said the president on January 16 following the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School: "We must strengthen efforts to keep guns from falling into the wrong hands … to make sure those who would commit acts of violence cannot get access to guns."
There are at least two major concerns about the president's statement: Who defines "wrong hands" and how effective are predictions about persons "who would commit acts of violence" in advance of such acts?
There are privacy concerns as well, as noted by Roberta Rampton, writing for Reuters: "Mental health advocates are worried that the privacy of people who have received treatment for their illnesses would be jeopardized." They are also concerned that persons seeking treatment would be discouraged from disclosing their problems to professionals because such information could wind up in a government database. And further, such a listing might reasonably jeopardize their freedom to own firearms. As Daniel Fisher, who was treated for schizophrenia decades ago and is now a mental health advocate, noted:
I think it's a bad idea. It would really put a chill on people getting services. They find it very scary — the idea of a national database that the government will keep [on them].
As Obama explained:

From Kosho Uchiyama's commentary on Dogen's GenjoKoan, read aloud this morning (Tuesday, 7/10/12) during GenjoKoan class at Santa Cruz Zen Center:
"Giving up the view of the self and others" . . . is called accepting and settling right here (jikige joto). [ . . . ] Even though it is not possible for us to avoid the view of self and others, it is certain that there is a ground beyond this view.
[ . . . ] Whether our brain is working or not, whether we give up the view of self and others or not, whether we think so or not, and whether we believe it or not, in fact, we are fundamentally living the reality of life prior to separation between self and other, subject and object. The ground of Buddha dharma is nothing other than this ground of the reality of life beyond the view of self and others and subject and object. [ . . . ] "

Jacks stumble in dual finale
The South Dakota State wrestling team stumbled versus Northwestern 39-4 in its regular season dual finale on Sunday in Brookings.
The Wildcats opened the dual with a major decision at 125 and SDSU forfeited the 133-pound match due to injury. Northwestern led 10-0 after two matches.
After another Wildcat major decision at 141, Dustin Walraven faced Dylan Marriott in the 149-pound match. Walraven scored a takedown early in the first period and added two two-point near falls with riding time for a 6-0 lead. Following a scoreless second, Walraven was awarded a penalty point for Marriott stalling and added a riding time point for an 8-0 major decision.
Walraven finished the regular season with a 23-11 overall record after two major decisions this weekend.
"He looked great," head coach Chris Bono said. "He is still not one-hundred percent, but we have time to get him healthy and make a move at the West Regional."
Northwestern added a tech fall prior to the intermission for a 19-4 lead.
Out of the intermission, Joe Brewster faced No. 17 Pierce Harger at 165. Brewster and Harger battled the full three periods, but a first-period takedown by Harger was decisive in the 4-1 result.
The Wildcats won the next four matches by tech fall, decision, major decision and tech fall for a 39-4 dual win.
"I am happy that we saw the seniors off, even though it was not the way we would have liked to see them off," Bono said. "The regular season is over and it is time to get ready for the West Regional and that is all that matters at this point. Hopefully we can accomplish our goals."
Next SDSU wrestles in the West Regional with tickets to the NCAA Championships on the line. Start time is set for 9 a.m. on Saturday, March 9, in Laramie, Wyo.
"We will do a lot of training and a lot of individual work," said Bono. "We will get guys ready and get guys healthy. We missed Brance Simms in today's dual due to injury, so we need to get healthy and then we will be ready."

The Sound of Music, everyone's favorite musical, continues to come to life on Mont Harmon Junior High's theatre stage. Opening night was Nov. 12 and the show will continue to run starting with Thursday night Nov. 19, 20, 21 and 23.
The curtain goes up at 7:30 p.m. The Monday performance on Nov. 23 are being held purposely for those folks too busy on the weekends.
The all local cast includes Rebecca Taylor as Maria and Ron Patterson as Captain Von Trapp, Delynn Childs as Elsa Schraeder, Josh Behn as Max Detweiler, and Diane Clifford as Mother Abbess.
"We have double cast the children's roles because we had such a wealth of talent audition for those sevenroles," Michael Hughes, the director, remarked. "The hardest part of this whole process was having to turn down the other 100 eager children." Madelaine Nyffeler, assistant director and producer for this show agreed. "Over 125 people auditioned for this show, indicating to us that it is, indeed, a favorite of many. But the choices were really hard as we cast the show from so many talented auditioners. We were able to use a large number of the women and older girls as nuns and the music they provide makes a heavenly backdrop."
Lots of people have stepped into new or different roles for this production. John Behn, technical director, recruited Eric Mantz as sound engineer, Brent Stockdale as lighting designer, and Ashley Yakovich as light board operator. Jennifer Chiara and her mother, Diane Berry, have directed the music for this show with Jay Andrus acting as vocal and Latin coach for the nun choir. Natalie Mantz , as the choreographer, has added lots of dance movement. Kristy Woodhouse is our scenic designer and painter. Floree Jenkins, as our costumer, has dressed two casts of kids and 24 nuns.
Stewart Scoville has designed new advertising signs and used new technology (thanks to Dave Gerrard at Sign Edge) so we feel like we have stepped up to lots of new ideas.
There are two songs in the play version that will be new to the movie fans. We encourage folks to come out two different nights so they can see both casts of Von Trapp children. In live theatre, every night is different, but these two casts of children are so delightfully different, you will want to come twice. Tickets can be purchased at the door.

Just A Joke In Poor Taste?
Brian Bassett , TheJetsBlog.com
Uh oh, more details about the comments Ryan might've made privately that were then reported in the Daily News? ESPN NY's Rich Cimini has the story.
Bemoaning the plight of his team in a recent staff meeting, Rex Ryan considered the grim circumstances — the roster, the quarterback situation, the salary cap, etc. — and remarked that he'd be better off getting fired, according to a team source. The source said Ryan was joking.
Then this interesting tidbit further on…
Ryan hasn't received a vote of confidence, publicly or privately, from Johnson, according to sources. Johnson hasn't been seen around the facility as much as usual, fueling speculation within the building. Everyone is in the dark, waiting for Johnson to do something — or nothing at all.
So apparently as we concluded yesterday, there is some fire to this smoke. All jokes have a grain of truth … maybe that's why Rex reacted so emotionally to it?
In the absence of the affirmation of his boss, I'm sure his head is spinning, as the article notes.
From what we hear inside the organization, there is in fact a lot of uncertainty, and maybe even a resigned fatalism among front office staff. The John Griffin re-signing is a perfect example. The front office is plainly trying to get some future type contracts out there to the guys who the team has been stringing along between the 53 and expanded roster window. Expect more of those type of players back even as the heads start to roll on Monday.

The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe has agreed to resume giving the state proceeds from its gaming operations in St. Lawrence County, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced at a televised press conference in Albany on Tuesday.
I commend the collaborative spirit in which all parties came together to forge this agreement, Gov. Cuomo said in a press release.
The tribe since 2010 had been withholding the money about $59 million because it said the state was allowing another casino to operate in Clinton County in violation of an agreement that gave the Indians exclusive rights to gaming in an eight-county upstate region.
The agreement means the state will not site a new casino in the exclusive Mohawk region. Under the agreement, the tribe will pay $30 million of payments owed and 25 percent of future gaming revenues to the state. The agreement also initiates discussions between the state, the tribe and local governments to resolve unrelated land claim disputes.
Weve waited many years for a governor who was willing to sit down with all the parties to the land claim to come to a negotiated settlement, Mohawk Chief Ronald LaFrance said in the release. Gov. Cuomo has accomplished much in the short time weve been meeting directly with him. He has given us assurances that our outstanding issues will be dealt with fairly.
In addition to resuming payments of 25 percent of their yearly electronic slot machine revenues, the tribe will pay Albany half of the $60 million it has held in escrow since 2010. Franklin and St. Lawrence counties each will receive $1.8 million of that; the towns of Bombay, Fort Covington, Massena and Brasher each will get about $960,000. Under the new deal, the state will take 10 percent of its share of slot machine monies and distribute 10 percent of that among Clinton, Essex, Hamilton, Jefferson, Warren and Lewis counties.
The announcement was welcome news for cash-strapped St. Lawrence County officials.
Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire said the county can expect $3 million to $3.5 million in back payments.
This money was money we considered as owed to us and we actually booked as a receivable, she said. We have included that figure in our fund balance, so we can certainly breathe a sigh of relief now that we know its coming.
Ms. St. Hilaire said annual payments for this year and beyond are expected to amount to $1.5 million to $2 million.
This issue has been hanging out there for three years, she said. Thats a lot of money for the folks of St. Lawrence County.
St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators Chairman Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington, who was among the officials in Albany when the announcement was made, praised and marveled at the governors ability to build bridges with the Mohawks.
The governor has taken an issue that was seeming to go nowhere and moved the ball forward to advance our cause in St. Lawrence County, Mr. Putney said. There needs to be further dialogue about the remainder of the money, but this is a great first step forward. It is a tremendous day ... a tremendous victory.
Brasher Town Supervisor M. James Dawson said his town will use a portion of its share which he said is half of what it normally would receive to construct a new garage.
The current town garage, located in Helena, was purchased from the St. Lawrence Seaway for $1 in 1958, and the town had to build the foundation and walls for the steel building that had served as a storage shed for the Seaway. The building is not big enough for the highway departments vehicles, hot air furnaces are hanging from the ceiling and some of the walls are crumbling and in need of repairs.
The tribe has withheld slot machine payments since 2010, citing a casino on the Ganienkeh reservation in Altona as a breach of their gaming exclusivity compact with the state. The deal, which the tribe signed in 2003, guaranteed them the exclusive right to operate electronic slot machines in northern New York. Cuomo said there currently is no resolution for the Ganienkeh casino, which he said is an illegal operation.

LOWVILLE Lewis Countys manager has announced plans to retire in early May after six years on the job.
I have completely enjoyed my six years in service to Lewis County, said David H. Pendergast, Watson, who was chosen by legislators in March 2008 from a field of 47 applicants. After 34 years of governmental service, I look forward to spending time with my family, especially my grandchildren.
Mr. Pendergast, who will turn 63 in April, said he also is looking forward to increased fishing time this summer.
Ive got to get the boat out and get it tuned up, he said.
Mr. Pendergast said he still needs to check with state retirement system officials before setting a specific retirement date.
However, the county manager, whose current two-year term runs through the end of this year, said the several-month notice of his retirement should give legislators ample time to search for a successor to the $84,000-per-year post.
Mr. Pendergast said he would be willing to come back to help with the transition, if needed.
Hopefully, theyll be able to find somebody who has had governmental experience, he said.
Mr. Pendergast effectively replaced former County Manager Joseph L. Baruth Sr., whose contract was not renewed by legislators in January 2008 after three years on the job.
Then-Legislature Chairman Jack T. Bush, R-Brantingham, had to serve as acting manager for the first few months of 2008 until a new county manager was hired.
With his extensive experience in government, Mr. Pendergast didnt have to have a long learning curve, Mr. Bush said. He knew what was going on.
He did his best to keep us informed on whats going on and give each committee a bigger role in conducting business, added current board Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan.
Both Mr. Bush and Mr. Tabolt commended Mr. Pendergast for extensive work on preparing annual budgets in the midst of tightening fiscal constraints and relatively new state tax cap limitations.
Its a very, very difficult task, Mr. Bush said.
Hes held the line for us quite well, providing us with an acceptable budget, Mr. Tabolt said.
The chairman said he hopes to soon advertise for someone to replace Mr. Pendergast and help plan for the 2014 county budget once lawmakers discuss a salary range and review the job description.
I think it was great of Dave to offer to help in the transition, Mr. Tabolt said.
Mr. Pendergast, who announced his impending retirement to county department heads at a meeting Friday afternoon, said he was happy to be able to finish his career here.
I want to thank the Board of Legislators and the county employees I have had the pleasure to have worked with during this time, he said. Everyone has been very helpful in reaching the goal of service to people of Lewis County.
While spending much of his life in Schoharie County, Mr. Pendergast had strong ties to Lewis County, having spent much time over the years hunting and fishing in the Brantingham and Belfort areas. His maternal grandfather, the late Albert Schoff, was Lewis Countys sheriff for 29 years, while his uncle, the late Loren A. Schoff, was county probation director for 22 years.
Mr. Pendergast over the years has worked at the town, county, state and federal levels of government.
He came here after about spending about a decade in Oneida County government, the last four years supervising that countys airport at the former Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome as deputy commissioner of aviation.

When it comes to your back line, the only pieces of equipment you can trust to keep your dishes clean on a daily basis are commercial dishwashers. While residential units may cut it at home, in the chaotic, ever-busy world of the commercial kitchen, having something bigger and stronger is essential. Not only do commercial dishwashers save you time by letting you load up rack after rack, but these beasts are also designed to help cut down on water usage, as well as, energy consumption. Put commercial dishwashers to work on your back line, and never worry about dirty dishes again.
