The Carbon County Planning Commission has give concept approval to Scofield Mountain Estates for an expansion of its development on the northwest side of Scofield Lake. Planners also endorsed a proposed zoning change to permit the development of mountain home sites.
The resort community already has 60 lots approved and developed, and has sold 21 so far. Matt Brown, property manager for the project, told commissioners that plans call for 109 lots total on the company's acreage. This would be Phase IV of the overall development and would entail ground and utility preparation for eventual cabin building on about a dozen lots. On average, the plans call for one lot on four acres.
In a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Brown explained that the soils and other environmental conditions in the new phase are comparable to those on previously developed lots. The company has developed a spring that will serve as a source of water for household use, and will install a storage tank to accommodate fire protection demands.
The developers intend to continue using septic tanks for sewage, which Mr. Brown explained was more reliable and economical than central sewage for the low-density housing. The development is following building code rules for setbacks from the lake shore and streams, he said. In addition, each purchaser of a lot must agree to a covenant stipulating that homes must be built to size, design and construction material provisions to preserve the beauty of the community and the environment. Compliance with county building codes and permits is also mandatory.
Buyers are also advised that there is no full-time fire protection in that wooded area, and are urged to install sprinkler systems as safeguards.
The additional development should not pose any traffic problems on the west Scofield Rd., Mr. Brown said. Traffic surveys indicate fewer than 300 trips per day average on the road, while highway engineers have said the road can accommodate close to 1,400 trips.
Scofield Mountain Estates is a gated community, which means that vehicle access is limited to residents, guests or emergency vehicles. Lot prices advertised on its website indicate a range of from under $100,000 to a 40-acre lot offered at $299,000.

Comments about Ibanez Tube Screamer T-Shirt:
I bought the black Ibanez shirt with white text logo, have washed it about 20 times and still looks good. Washed this once in cold, did not dry. Super thin material, shape is very poor, it just looks wierd, like it was a factory reject that didn't pass inspection. Love Ibanez and wanted to show my colors but was to embarrassed to wear this rag anywhere. Come on Ibanez you can do better than this!
Comments about Ibanez Tube Screamer T-Shirt:
I could not believe my eyes when I opened the box and saw this shirt. Not very good quality of the clothing and the printing. Although it is a great idea to make a shirt look like a pedal, they could have put more quality in this product. I think this should cost less than it does. I was very frustrated.

2013 Rolls Royce Ghost Ownership Costs
Cost of Ownership data coming soon
There is no cost of ownership information available for the 2013 Rolls Royce Ghost Base Sedan at this time
2013 Rolls Royce Ghost Base Sedan cost of ownership data is powered by
Ownership costs are the costs to purchase and operate a vehicle over a period of time. Understanding these costs may enable you to save money and help you make a wiser decision when choosing your next new car.
Regardless of the "value" claims that you may read in car reviews or hear in advertisements, the economic value of a car is based on how much it will cost to own and operate compared to its purchase price. In a sense, purchase price is "what you pay" and the ownership costs are "what you get."
Ownership costs can differ greatly. The cost to own and operate two different vehicles with equal purchase prices can differ by thousands. Of course when evaluating ownership cost for used cars and trucks, a vehicle's condition and mileage will greatly impact ownership costs, therefore it's important to compare similar vehicles in similar condition for an accurate picture.

Basic Warranty:
The basic warranty covers everything except items that are subject to wear and tear or replacement in the ordinary course of vehicle ownership, such as oil and air filters, wiper blades and brake pads. Tires and batteries are often excluded, but usually have their own warranty provided by the manufacturers of those items. Emissions equipment is required by Federal law to be covered for five years or 50,000 miles.
Drive Train Warranty:
In some cases the drive train warranty continues after the basic warranty has expired. This part of the warranty covers most of the parts that make the vehicle move, including the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft. Like the basic warranty, consumable parts such as hoses and belts are not covered. However, most of the internal parts of the engine, such as the pistons and bearings, which are also subject to wear and tear, are covered by the drive train warranty.
Roadside Assistance:
Many manufacturers provide a service that will rescue you if your car leaves you stranded, even if it's your fault. Lock yourself our of your car? Run out of gas? Got a flat tire? A call to the manufacturer's toll-free number will result in somebody showing up who can help you out. There is a huge variance in these programs so check ahead of time to see what is covered and what you will have to pay for.
Rust or Corrosion Warranty:
Rust or Corrosion Warranty: This warranty covers the vehicle's sheet metal, and protects you from rust and corrosion that are severe enough to cause a hole - surface rust is not covered. However, if you keep your car washed and waxed rust shouldn't be a problem.

DeKalb, IL (Sports Network) - Behind 440 yards of total offense from quarterback Jordan Lynch, the Northern Illinois Huskies breezed by the Buffalo Bulls, 45-3, in Mid-American Conference action at Huskie Stadium
Jordan Lynch passed for 232 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 129 yards and two more scores for NIU (6-1, 3-0 MAC), which has won five in a row and has become bowl eligible for the fifth straight year. Martel Moore was busy in the receiving game, hauling in eight catches for 133 yards and a score.
For Buffalo (1-5, 0-3), Alex Zordich completed 18-of-29 passes for 177 yards and two interceptions before being pulled for Joe Licata, who wasn't much better (9-of-20, 86 yards). Devon Hughes tallied 105 yards receiving on a game- high nine catches. The Bulls are now losers of four in a row.
NIU opened the game with a 13-play, 75-yard drive, culminating in a 12-yard rushing touchdown from Da'Ron Brown to get up to an early 7-0 lead.
Buffalo scored its only points of the game later in the first quarter on a Patrick Clarke 28-yard field goal.
The Huskies started the second quarter with the ball and drove down the field in 10 plays, capping it off with a one-yard touchdown run from Akeem Daniels. Luke Eakes ripped off a 32-yard run on 4th-and-7 from NIU's 40-yard line to keep the drive alive.
NIU added to its advantage less than four minutes later on a four-yard touchdown run from Lynch to give it a 21-3 lead. The Huskies continued to pile on with just a over minute remaining in the half with another Lynch rushing score.
It was more of the same for the Huskies after the intermission. On the first drive of the second half, Lynch hooked up with Moore for a 43-yard touchdown pass to give NIU a commanding 35-3 advantage. Lynch added another passing score later in the third quarter, this time a 28-yard strike to Tommylee Lewis.
Mathew Sims added a 42-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to conclude the scoring.
NIU has won 11 games in a row over conference opponents and 19 straight at Huskie Stadium.

They joined together with shovels, hammers, brooms and many other tools in hand spending much of Saturday morning performing work all around the communities of Price and Helper.
And they were all volunteers. All 700 of them.
Last year the event brought out 258 volunteers.
"We were amazed at the amount of people who participated this year compared to years past," said Annalee Howland, an AmeriCorps VISTA member.
The annual Day of Caring event put on by the United Way brought together a number of local groups and members of the community for a day of helping give back to the community. According to Howland, volunteers worked on over 40 projects during the day. Some of the projects included cleaning up Wood Hill, fixing the Habitat for Humanity house, helping harvest the People's Garden, cleaning up the BMX track as well as many others.
Volunteers also completed 22 home projects for residents in the community. Work at these individual homes involved projects like yard work, cutting trees, building fences, putting up sheet rock, painting, and much more. The Juvenile Court youth workers were assigned a home in Carbonville that required five loads of weeds and debris hauled off to the dump.
"Everyone worked so hard to make the life of someone else better, how proud I am to be a part of such a great event," Howland said. "The turnout was so impressive, I feel so lucky to live in this community where people come together and accomplish great things."
Groups who helped provide volunteers included USU Eastern- Sun center, girls and boys basketball teams, Carbon High School - TSL (Today's Service Leaders) Club, Juvenile Court, Helper Stake, OHV Club, Hiker's Club and many more members of the community.
Sponsors who helped make the event possible included Fresh Market, Peterson Chemical, Price City, Helper City, Coke, Walmart, Cold Stone, Sutherlands and Carbon County.

From free goodies and health checks to information on health care reform and insurance plans, there was something of interest for everyone at the Jefferson County Senior Health and Wellness Fair on Wednesday at the Watertown Municipal Arena.
Presented by state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, the annual event was expected to attract more than 1,000 senior citizens.
For a lot of seniors, the unknown has been the biggest issue, Mrs. Ritchie said. For a lot of them, its very costly to buy all of their prescriptions. Not knowing how health care will change worries many.
Seventy-three exhibitors from various sectors of the health-care community promoted their services and programs, including Genesis Healthcare of New York.
Right now, a lot of people think were gone because Mercy closed, said Nicole L. Davis, quality assurance manager and registered nurse. Thats why were here.
The home health service stayed intact after Mercy closed its doors. The business currently is managed by Samaritan Medical Center. That agreement will remain in place until a final purchase agreement and certificate of need are approved by the state Department of Health.
Mrs. Davis said Genesis provides skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, social work, nutrition education, speech therapy and home health aides for Jefferson County residents. All services are billable to insurance companies.
She said the health-care reform shift of reducing repeat hospital readmissions means communities will count on home health services, such as Genesis.
Patients tend to get better when theyre in their own home, Mrs. Davis said.
Theresa L. Harmych said she came to the event looking for information on at-home assistance services.
I picked up a lot of information on that, the Henderson resident said. All I have is Medicare and Im wondering if thatll still be OK.
Mary Louise Ramsey, 81, also of Henderson, said she has been relatively happy with services covered by her Medicare plan. She said she and Floyd Kehoe, 91, attended the event to look around and enjoy music, performed by the Country Stompers.
Seniors also received a free lunch, and longtime United Service organization volunteer Mary M. Parry was recognized as Mrs. Ritchies Jefferson County Senior of the Year.
Mrs. Ritchie will host similar events in both Oswego and St. Lawrence counties next month.

Ah, 'Tis the Season for futile fan "Save Our Show" efforts. Let's review all the kinds of efforts that have absolutely no chance whatsoever to have any effect:
Online petitions? Meaningless!
Twitter campaigns? Useless!
Facebook pages? Futile!
Sending various flotsam to networks? Messy and worthless!
However, Chuck fans, in their drive to get a feature film made have a campaign going that while highly unlikely to be successful, isn't by definition completely useless like all the kinds of efforts above.
They're pledging money to fund a potential movie in a sort of Kickstarter-style effort.
Will they raise enough money? Probably not.
But here's the difference between their effort and all the other kinds of "Save Our Show" efforts you usually hear about. Were they to raise enough money, something might happen.
On the other hand, no number of petition signatures, Tweets, Facebook likes, or packages filled with mailed in junk will have any effect whatsoever!
That's "Save Our Show" innovation baby!
Thanks to alert reader Shelby for the tip.

The Kiss (detail)
Art Print by Gustav Klimt | #411743
Showing two lovers embracing The Kiss was completed in 1908 and considered the culmination of a period in which Klimt reached the height of his powers as an artist. The work, started using oil paints and then completed through the application of gold leaf, represents a strikingly modern approach to painting. In contrast to much of Klimt's work, The Kiss is tender in its depiction of the female subject, and the driving theme of the work is not sexual desire but love - becoming one of the most popular works on the subject. The painting is now housed in the Austrian Gallery in Vienna's Upper Belvedere Palace.
Expertly printed in our Sussex studios, this print is produced to exacting museum conservation standards using inks and papers developed to create a perfect reproduction.

We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

This morning..6:20AM, 04 Sep
07..as I was sitting on my deck, having my coffee and
checking to be sure all the Windmills were working, I
witnessed a Rainbow developing. About 10 minutes
later a second Rainbow formed..this one was a mirror
image-the sequence of colors reversed..not quite as
bright. A few minutes later, a third one
formed..almost at the same spot on ground level, but
curved apart higher up. For only a few moments I could
see all three Rainbows in a row. The Image one faded
out, as the 3rd one increased in brightness. I got
digital photos of all three..but, I was not quick
enough to get them all three in the same photo.
These were taken from Perkins Road in Finley, looking
at the Windmills above Locust Grove.
SPECTACULAR!!!!!!! I have seen a lot of Rainbows in
my 69 years...BUT NEVER, have I seen one in the
process of developing, nor, two at the same time, and
definitely NEVER three at the same time.

London has everything anyone could wish for on a perfect Christmas shopping trip. We would like to share our best tips for a successful Christmas shopping trip in this fantastic city.
Of all London's many Christmas markets, Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park is the largest and most famous. This combination of amusement park and Christmas market offers Christmas cheer for young and old. Children can meet Santa Claus here, in Santa Land itself!
A traditional German Christmas market with an authentic German Christmas atmosphere can be found on the Southbank. Enjoy bratwurst and Glühwein while you shop among the wooden stalls, which sell everything from handcraft to German specialities.
Covent Garden is a good alternative, since everything from high street clothing chains to antique stores can be found among the Christmas decorations here.
For those looking for vintage, second hand and antique goods, the market on the Portobello Road is the place to be. For original Christmas gifts try the Duckie Christmas market: retro and kitsch reign supreme here.
The Christmas Store at the famous Harrods department store opens as early as July, and features over 250,000 Christmas products! And if that isn't enough, Selfridges also has a Christmas store – which also opens in July.

Air district unveils new wind-powered ferry
San Francisco, the city with the highest concentration of hybrid cars, may soon be the first city to boast a hybrid ferry as well. Officials today at Pier 1 ½ unveiled a vessel that runs on both wind and engine power, significantly reducing fuel use and air pollution.
The design, called the WingSail, involves a carbon fiber sail that resembles an airplane wing standing up vertically. The sail uses wind to efficiently propel the boat when available, but also works with the engine to keep the vessel moving if gusts die down, much like how a hybrid car switches between fuel and electricity.
"The idea with wind technology is that we could use this every day, with more or less the same propulsion power [as an engine], depending on where you are," said Damian Breen of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. "Literally with the flick of a switch, you can go between wind power and fuel power."
Already existing ferries that are retrofitted to include the WingSail can save up to 40 percent on fuel costs, and ferries that are designed and built with windpower in mind would be even more efficient. Currently, a motorized ferry that travels between San Francisco and Sausalito spends $250 million annually on fuel, according to Jay Gardner, president of Wind+Wing Technologies.
"My vision is to see a bay full of wind-powered ferries," Gardner said. "I think that could be as iconic as the San Francisco cable cars."
The trimaran on display today -- a smaller scale model of would might eventually be full-sized ferries -- just completed three months of test voyages around the Bay Area. Researchers at UC Berkeley will now begin to analyze that data to find the potential improvements in air quality and fuel cost savings. That study will be an important factor in how this technology is implemented in the future, and the results should be published sometime this summer.
The WindSail technology is already being used in racing for both land and water events -- most prominently in the America's Cup sailing championships here on the bay last summer -- but this would be the first use of hybrid wind power in a passenger boat. The Wind+Wing Technologies webpage already shows designs for ferries that can hold either 149 or 400 travelers.
All of the builders and officials there today emphasized that the Bay Area is the perfect place to roll out this technology. Not only is it one of the most environmentally conscious regions in the world, but the bay is also windy enough to power the WindSail without relying too heavily on the engine.
One of the attendees asked when you would want to use wind power over fuel, and Breen immediately stepped forward to answer the question.
"Wind is zero emissions," he said. "Wind is always better."

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate community editor
Community members Brenda Pappas, Stella and Kevin Smith and counselors at vocational rehabilitation including Jody AnuskewicManzanares and Mindy Jepson are helping to bring aid to the mentally challenged in Castle Valley. Along with many others, the group is working with the National Alliance on Mental Illness to bring the federal program's benefits closer to home.
NAMI is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness.
Through a step down program, NAMI takes federal resources and moves them to the state level, then gets them to the families that need help most via local affiliates. They provide assistance "to insure the dignity and improve the lives of those affected by mental illness and their families through education, support and advocacy," states NAMI literature.
According to the alliance, mental illness is often an isolating experience, accompanied by profound anxiety.
For the patient who is diagnosed with illnesses such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or other condition, talking with someone to share coping strategies and insights as well as problems and concerns can be an important link in the path to recovery, according to NAMI.
To help cope, Pappas stated that in September the local NAMI group will be starting the Bridges program. Bridges is a 10-week course for those living with mental illness. Classes cover brain biology, symptoms, treatment options, communication, building support, crisis planning and recovery. This course is taught by trained individuals who can speak from personal experience.
"We are so excited about this program," said Pappas. "This is something a lot of people have been working toward for a long time."
For those family members dealing with the new or ongoing issues that can arise from a loved one with mental illness problems, the alliance will be starting the Family to Family program.
A 12 week course, the Family to Family class covers symptoms, medications, coping skills, recovery, advocacy and much more, according to NAMI literature.
Classes are offered in English and Spanish statewide, a capacity local affiliates are also hoping to develop.
"We are still looking for a facility to host our classes but are set on starting things up in September," said Pappas.
While there are many programs offered through NAMI, the last one mentioned by Pappas was the Hope for Tomorrow program which provides an education program offered to elementary and secondary schools with components for students, teachers and parents. The goals are to raise awareness of mental illness, erase stigma and foster hope.
"The Hope for Tomorrow class can be used to incorporate teachers as allies in the program. They can then help us with recognition of early onset mental illness in children and adolescents," explained Pappas.
When dealing with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD this program can be very important. ADHD is a condition that becomes apparent in some children in the preschool and early school years.
It is hard for these kids to control their behavior, play with other children or just concentrate at times.
It is estimated that between three and five percent of children have ADHD, that adds up to about 2 million total kids in the United States, according to NAMI data.
"A child with ADHD faces difficult, but not insurmountable tasks," explains the alliance. "Tasks that are made easier to handle with early intervention."
For those seeking further information about the program, please contact Pappas at 650-0216, Stella Smith at 637-1371 or vocational rehabilitation at 636-2820.

An international Symposium on the future of Museum Climate seen in the context of Global Climate Change was held at the National Gallery of Denmark on March 1, 2010
How can we create exhibitions and expose our common cultural heritage in a sustainable way which is also acceptable for future generations? How can museums be run in a more CO2 neutral way while simultaneously guaranteeing an adequate indoor climate? These, and other crucial questions and issues, were discussed and scrutinized during this one day symposium on March 1, 2010.
The symposium offered information and food for thought to stakeholders from ministries of culture, heritage organisations and partners within the European museum organisations, and aimed at informing those who are in the process of creating new museum buildings or rebuilding old ones – how do we accommodate current demands and future expectations in the building process?
CO2 neutral museum
The National Gallery of Denmark will present an inspiring case-history of how regulating their seasonal indoor climate resulted in considerable energy savings as well as minimising their CO2 footprint – with the aim of becoming totally neutral within the near future. On top of this the dangers to art works caused by increasing levels of ozone, nitrogen oxides, and other malign gaseous emissions within the museum climate will be touched upon.
Lending activity and European standards
Another main topic of the symposium was how to make the right decisions about attaining a realistic up-keep and presentation of our cultural heritage without compromising its physical fragility. European standards for museums and transport as well as political desires for a larger international lending activity were also addressed.
New challenges
Unilateral changes that effect institutional requirements for museum climate (RH, temperature and light) may also effect international loan procedures for temporary exhibitions. The symposium was addressing some of the questions which are inherent to these new challenges: Can we gather the museum field nationally and/or internationally around new acceptable climate requirements for exhibition galleries and storage? Can we envision Green Museums as role-models for society? And lastly, how does a global movement such as Cradle-to-Cradle see the function of the museum as keepers of the past and torches for the future?
The symposium took place on Monday March 1, 2010 at the National Gallery of Denmark. Simultaneous with the temporary exhibitions 'Nature Strikes Back' and 'RETHINK', both offering the public tantalizing food for thought.
The symposium was organised by the National Gallery of Denmark in collaboration with The Association of Danish Museums (ODM) and made possible thanks to support from the Heritage Agency of Denmark (KUAS)

POTSDAM - SUNY Potsdam and SUNY Canton both have new presidents after a special meeting of the SUNY Board of Trustees Thursday in New York City.
The board appointed Dr. Kristin G. Esterberg to lead SUNY Potsdam and Dr. Zvi Szafran to head SUNY Canton. Both start July 1.
Dr. Esterberg is provost and academic vice president at Salem State University, Salem, Mass.
Im very delighted to be joining this really rich community of students, faculty and staff who have really created quite a vibrant life up in the north country, she told the board.
Dr. Esterberg holds a doctoral degree and a masters degree in sociology from Cornell University, Ithaca. She earned her bachelors degree in philosophy and political science at Boston University.
She will make $215,000 a year at Potsdam.
We are absolutely convinced Dr. Esterberg is the right person to lead us into our third century of excellence at SUNY Potsdam, SUNY Potsdam College Council Chairwoman June F. ONeill said.
SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher praised Dr. Esterbergs ability to develop academic programs.
We particularly like Dr. Esterbergs grasp for programmatic opportunities at SUNY Potsdam with and beyond the Crane School, she said.
SUNY Potsdam interim President Dennis C. Hefner said he is pleased by his replacement.
She brings considerable skill to the position and has the type of expertise needed to lead the campus into the future, he said.
Dr. Esterberg will need to balance her priorities between enrollment, finances and academics, while looking to create new programs that fit within the schools mission, Dr. Hefner said.
I think SUNY Potsdam needs to look at degree programs that draw large numbers of students, degree programs that build on the colleges existing strengths, he said.
Ms. ONeill said Dr. Esterberg had been impressive throughout the interview process.
What were really looking for is moving the college forward, Ms. ONeill said.
Dr. Szafrans appointment did not come as a surprise, as his recommendation for the position has been public knowledge for several weeks.
Im very much looking forward to the opportunities afforded by working at SUNY Canton, he told the board. Its a wonderful institution.
Dr. Szafran is a Syracuse native working as vice president for academic affairs Southern Polytechnic State University in Marietta, Ga.
He holds a doctoral degree in physical inorganic chemistry from the University of South Carolina and a bachelors degree in chemistry from Worcester (Mass.) Polytechnic Institute.
He will make $195,000 a year.
Ms. Zimpher also stressed the continued need for a close partnership between SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdam, lauding SUNY Cantons acting President Joseph C. Hoffman and Dr. Hefner for the work they have done during the search.
The precedent-setting relationship that Dr. Hefner and Dr. Hoffman have exhibited is a model for the relationship we know will be held going forward, she said.

G'day my name is peter - a new boy and a real dill when it comes to computers. all my grand children usually help out but not with this one - can you help please.
have optus adsl+2 and a radio modem. have a dlink card on my laptop and it works fine.
when i say "fine" - i have Ubuntu and windows xp installed on my laptop - the drive is partitioned with the greater part devoted to Ubuntu because i would like not to need windows.
at present via the dlink card i can axcess the internet via windows and we do not know how to set up Ubuntu so that i can connect to the internet via my radio card.
have found the place to enter the required information but do not know what to enter.
for a dill like me xp connects almost automatically - is there some site i should go to or is there a book that i can buy that will instruct me.
thanks for any assistance
regards peter
What type is your D-link card ?
If you know the type of your card, the Linux Wireless database will give you a hint if theres a need to go any further.
When you say, you've found where to enter the information, are you talking about the network configuration tool ?have found the place to enter the required information but do not know what to enter.
My first guess would be to find out what Acess Point windows is connecting to, and what type of security it uses WEP/WPA_PSK (if any) and then enter those values into the appropriate input fields.
This info can be found, by hovering with the mouse pointer over the "network connection" icon next to the clock in your lower right corner, it should say something like: Connected to (your AP) speed (54Mb) Quality Good
If you double click the icon, you will get a list of the APs available with yours listed at the top, with a notice (connected) if you right click it, and select properties it should provide you with information to wether it's encrypted and what type of encryption (WEP/WPA) it uses.
Don't worry Ma'am. We're university students, - We know what We're doing.

CANTON SUNY Canton should be allowed to begin a search for its next president, a group of town officials said Tuesday in Albany.
The Save Our SUNY Canton task force, made up of Town Supervisor David T. Button, Councilman James T. Smith and Economic Development Director Linda M. McQuinn, lobbied the SUNY board of trustees during a public comment period at its December meeting.
This campus serves as one of the major economic drivers in Canton, Ms. McQuinn said. We place a very high value on the economic impact that this campus generates in the community and we are concerned ... that we will once again be faced with a very critical situation if the SUNY Canton campus is forced to share a president.
Last year, SUNY Central pushed a plan for then-SUNY Canton President Joseph L. Kennedy to resign, making SUNY Potsdam President John F. Schwaller president of both campuses. After campus and community groups protested the move and legislation was introduced to require each SUNY campus to retain a unique president, Mr. Kennedy remained in his post until August, when he stepped down to become an adviser to SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher.
You responded very positively to our concerns by allowing President Joseph Kennedy to continue in his position until the end of the 2011-2012 school year, Mr. Button said.
He argued that SUNY Canton had met its side of an informal bargain that established benchmarks for administrative savings from the campus, which was to be honored by letting the school proceed with the search for a new president.
We very clearly got the message that the schools autonomy was tied to meeting a benchmark of increasing aid to academic programs by five percent and working with sister institutions to find as many ways as possible to share services, he said. Anecdotally, it appears to those of us who have been watching the school that it has blown well past the benchmark.
A July joint report submitted by SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdam stated the campuses had met or exceeded those benchmarks, Mr. Button said.
In summation, SUNY Canton and its host community have done everything expected of them in improving the academic experience. It is now time for SUNY Central to allow the process for the selection of a new president to move forward, he said. I hope that you will give the school and the Canton community a date positive when that process can begin.
Mr. Smith said the SUNY campuses were too different to share a president.
Both Potsdam and Canton are fortunate to have their own state educational institutions, but they are so fundamentally different that it doesnt make sense to try to force a union between them, he said in a written statement. Both schools in their own unique ways provide their students with an exceptional education, but thats where the similarities end.
Ms. McQuinn expressed concern that SUNY Canton might suffer without unique leadership, threatening the towns fastest-growing engine for economic growth.
We came to realize that without this campus ... we could quite quickly see an increase in the current poverty level, which would vastly change the climate in which we live and conduct business, she said. We cannot afford to see this poverty level increase significantly, nor can we afford to lose any more small businesses if the possibility of a diminished campus becomes a reality and jobs are on the line.
Ms. McQuinn said Tuesday that the board of trustees was receptive to their ideas.
I also had the sense that while they knew the topic was for discussion on the agenda, I dont think the trustees had finalized a decision, she said.
Ms. McQuinn said she believed any move by SUNY Central to force the campuses to share a president would prompt the reintroduction of the legislation.
At this point, the board has not made up its mind about whether SUNY Canton will share a president with nearby SUNY Potsdam, but Ms. McQuinn said she believes the chancellors office is promoting the idea after Mr. Schwaller announced he would step down last week.
The effort on the part of the chancellor is indeed to move this very quickly to have one president for both campuses now that you have both President Kennedy gone and the resignation of President Schwaller, she said.
Mr. Schwallers resignation will leave both SUNY Potsdam and SUNY Canton without permanent leadership next year.

*This giveaway is now closed.*
Now that summer is upon us that means road trips are too. I never realized how much work is involved in taking a baby on trips. I miss the days when C and I could throw our stuff in the car and take off for the weekend. But now I have to think about things like toys, snacks, hand sanitizer, books, juice, sippy cups and the list goes on and on! But One Step Ahead is literally one step ahead in helping me keep things organized.
One Step Ahead was founded by real life parents, Karen and Ian Scott, who wanted the best for their children. After the finding the "perfect" items for their children in catalogs and stores only lead to disappointment when they did not live up to their expectations, Karen and Ian traded their Fortune 500 careers in to pursue their kind of baby company. Three decades later, One Step Ahead is still helping parents navigate the baby market.
To help us get ready for summer trips we were sent the Toys on the Go Backseat Organizer and the NeckSaver from One Step Ahead. The NeckSaver is a versatile head and neck support for babies ages newborn to two years. As soon as I pulled it out I saw that the NeckSaver came in adorable colors, pink and brown. And could not believe how soft it was! After many unsuccessful trips around the block, Princess P finally fell asleep so I could try it out. Getting it around her neck without waking her was the hard part (she kept playing with it while she was awake). I immediately noticed that her head was resting on the sides of the support and not pitched forward like it was before. However, their were some times when her head fell slightly forward. I just gently pushed it back toward the carseat. While we didn't get to use the NeckSaver for long, we were only minutes from the house, I could tell that it is going to be a definite asset in our long road trips.
After (finally!) getting the car detailed C put the Toys on the Go Backseat Organizer in for me as I chased Princess P down the driveway. He said installation was super simple and it was very easy to adjust. With 15 various sized pockets this thing is very useful! We have room to put several of Princess P's books and a couple of diapers in the larger bottom pocket. And I placed a small wipes container in the detachable activity case. Some of the smaller pockets are perfect for holding single use wet wipes, hand sanitizer, and smaller toys. I use the medium pocket, which is great for storing CD's and DVD's, for snacks and a juice box. The expandable mesh pocket is the perfect size for storing P's sippy cup! While Princess P isn't quite big enough to reach it now, she will be able to when she can use it for storing art supplies like coloring books and crayons. The Toys on the Go Backseat Organizer definitely helps keep the clutter down in the backseats!

The 1996 blockbuster "Independence Day" made Will Smith a superstar. Fans have been waiting for a sequel, and it looks like they're going to get two!
Director Roland Emmerich told Entertainment Weekly that two follow-ups to "ID4" are planned, tentatively titled "ID Forever Part 1" and "ID Forever Part 2." They will take place 20 years after the original film, when the distress call sent by the aliens in the first film reaches their reinforcements, who head to Earth with a vengeance.
Expect to see one familiar face, Bill Pullman's Thomas Whitmore, who would've termed out as President. It's unclear what government role, if any, he holds.
Will Smith hasn't been confirmed for the sequels, but his Capt. Steven Hiller character may not even be the focus. Instead, a younger generation of heroes will step up, including Hiller's stepson Dylan (Ross Bagley in the original).
"It's still some of the same characters, but also new younger characters; it's a little bit like the sons take over," Emmerich explained.
In true Hollywood two-parter fashion, "Part 1" will have a cliffhanger ending. "The first one ends on a little success, but only enough to give the humans hope. And then in the second one they free themselves again."
The scripts are currently undergoing rewrites, and no release dates have been set. Are you excited about the "Independence Day" sequels? Tell toofab in the comments below, then click above to what the stars from the 1996 film are up to now!

eG Foodblog: HhLodesign - On Food and Architecture
Posted 18 March 2006 - 07:51 AM
First, a bit about myself. My name is Henry H Lo. I am in no way connected to the "industry" but have found that I have a passion for good food and cooking my whole life. I am 33 years old and an architect in Seattle.
The relationship between cooking and architecture is generally discussed among the architecture world. Both are art forms which are not always recognized as art by the general public. Just as food must provide nourishment for life, architecture must provide shelter. Once these basic requirements are established, only the educated few can see the artistic qualities which some architects/chefs elevate their work to. A few exceptions exist which are too obvious as to not be recognized as art. The buildings of Rem Koolhaus, and Ferran Adria's work come to mind. I find that my architecture is greatly influenced by lessons I've learned from the cooking world. After all, in both endevours, we are creating "functional art."
Another nice thing about being an architect was the fact that I was able to design and build my own kitchen. More on my kitchen to come.
When I found out I would be food blogging, I set up a number of events in Seattle for myself and my friends to take part in. Here's a short list of the things I have planned for this week:
Friday March 17th
Trail the chef at Veil
I did this last night and had a great time. More on this to come. Here's a teaser photo though:

this is going to be fabulous!
I used to work for an architectural firm (as a secretary) and I often talked with the architects and designers about the link architecture - food. It'll be interesting to learn what you have to say about it.
Also, since I'm going to be in Seattle this fall (for the first time) I'm very excited about all the restaurants you're going to visit, I might get some nice ideas! A sandwich tour will be just what I need!

For those of you unfamiliar with Veil. It's restaurant about 5 months old in the Lower Queen Anne area of Seattle. The chef, Shannon Galusha, has an extensive resume including stints at The French Laundry and Michele Rostang in Paris. His kitchen is beatiful and very well designed for the way they work.
There are 5 separate stations that all face North South with the pass facing east west on one side of all the stations. This makes it very easy for each station to complete their component of the dish and slide it to the pass for Shannon the assemble the final creation.
Although I'm getting ahead of myself. I started by showing up at 3pm and they gave me some chef whites and apron to wear. (Damn! should have gotten a picture of me in those!) My first task was to slice kiwi for the pastry chef.
Derrick, the sous chef, taught me a great trick for peeling the kiwi. Cut off each end and slide a spoon between the meat and the skin. Then just slide the spoon around the entire circumference of the kiwi. Comes out very clean.
The next thinig I did was learn how to break down an entire Halibut.
Shannon took off the first 3 loins. It was actually a very simply process of just finding where the backbone was. Slicing down that line, then taking the meat off the cartilage. This was easy because the halibut has a solid plate of cartilage, as opposed to individual bones. So I just had to angle my knife and run it along the plate. not very hard at all.
Then we cut the loins into serving portions. Shannon gave me a whole lesson on portion sizes, food costs, waste, and such.
Then I wrapped lamb shanks in caul fat. They have all these lamb shanks that are pre-braised overnight. In order to finish the braising process when one is ordered, they have to wrap the shank in caul fat netting. this keeps the shank from falling apart so that they many serve it whole on the plate. Caul fat is the stomach lining of a cow. It's basically all fat and disentagrates when they do the final braise. There are no signs of it (if I did my job right) on the finished plate.
Dinner service begins at 5pm and the first ticket came in around 5:45pm. They have this small printer in the kitchen that spits out orders as soon as the servers put in the order (sorry if I'm going over things that most of you already know, this is all new to me). Once it started, it never stopped. The kitchen is really a smoothly oiled machine back there. To the untrained observer, it looked like chaos, but they kept coordinating all the dishes perfectly. Everyone knew when the individual parts of an entre needed to get to the pass; and they all got there, hot, within seconds of each other. It seemed that the protein guy, Jake, was the director, telling the others how much time it was going to be before the protein would be done. Then other guys would adjust accordingly.
Here are some interesting shots I got:
mise en place:
Here's the veg guy hard at work
One thing I really loved about a professional kitchen was the burners they were using. They never turn the heat up or down. Its always on one temp, but they regulate the tempurate for pans by how close to the center they place the pan.
The amuse was BLT soup. Lettuce soup, with guanciale bits (smoked pork jowel from Salumi), and smoked tomato oil.
Here's a shitake tapenade they were making for some dish. Its exactly they way you make a regular tapenade, but they used shitake mushrooms instead of olives.
Here's a huge vat of stock that was cooking away the entire time I was there. They skimmed it all the time.
I worked til about 8:30 then got a drink at the bar.
That's a Hellkat. Invented by Katherine and Helen. Absolute Citron, Amaretto, Triple Sec, pineapple juice. Actually, the bartender forgot to put in fresh mint. His name is Scott so we called this the HellScat.
After my drink, I was off to Crush for dinner. I would be eating at Veil the following night (tonight), so I didn't want to eat there again. I'm gonna watch some basketball then get back to my meal at Crush.

Er, do you cook much, or mostly eat out? And could you find us the best banh mi?
I Cook about 4 nights a week and eat out the rest. I live alone, so its not so easy to cook for one. I tend to make simple things just for myself. I learned Chinese food from my mom and Italian from the woman who cleaned our school in Florence (I spent my 4th year of architecture school in Florence). So you'll see pasta and fried rice, noodles and simple stir frys often on my weeknight coffee table.
Although, I am friends with many people who live in my building, so we tend to cook for each other quite often. We also have quite a few cooking events and parties.
Here is a link to a color dinner event we had last year.

The owners are a husband and wife. The husband, Jason, is the chef, while his wife, Nicole runs the front of the house. I mean literally the "front of the house." They purchased an old single family residence and converted it into a restaurant. I wish I had taken more pictures of the restaurant, but alas, I forgot.
We sat at the bar and asked the chef to do a small tasting menu for us.
The first course was a seared halibut with....(Note to self, take notes next time, and maybe drink less wine) I also forgot to take a picture of this one.
The second course I will never forget:
"Burger and fries" The burger is a small slice of pan seared foie gras, the bun is a donut hole cut in half, the ketsup is huckleberry puree, the fries are fried salsify chips. A truely amazing and creative dish.
Next we had a seared whitefish (sorry forgot again) with rabbit confit, orage segments, and huckleberry purre.
Seared tuna on smoked, then braised pork belly. I'm just gonna stop mentioning the ingredients that I forgot.
I thought the Laguiole knives were a very nice touch. And they only had one stolen since they opened.
Braised lamb shank with beluga lentils and minted goat cheese.
I loved the minted goat cheese pairing. It provided both a contrast in textures, tempuratures and flavors.
I forgot to take a picture of the cheese course, and honestly didn't eat much of it. I was already bursting by this time.
Dessert was a selection of chocolates they make in house. Highlights included the Earl Grey Tea ganash, Almond Joy, and PB&(Grandma's homemade)J
We also got a very decadent pecan pie with vanilla ice cream.
I appoligize for the quality of the photos. the restaurant was full up until dessert. So I opted not to use a flash.

The Baguette Box was opened by the owner of Monsoon, Eric Bahn. Eric and his sister Sophie are origianlly from Vietnam and Edmonton Canada. They opened Monsoon about 7 years ago in Seattle, and it has since become an institution. I wouldn't call the food "fusion" so much as colonial Vietnamese. They use great Northwest ingredients and prepare them based on their Vietnamese roots with highly french influenced flavors. Monsoon is one of my favorite places in Seattle.
Eric is the one on the right.
I feel the need to describe Monsoon because Eric has taken the same approach wih his sandwich shop. Everything he makes is very distinctive any unlike anything you'll find in other sandwich shops.
Some of my favorites include the drunken chicken, the braised pork shoulder, the pork loin, and the braised tofu.
I got the tofu today:
The tofu is braised in coconut milk, then deep fried. It is served with some kind of flavored mayo, pickled daikon, carrots, raw red onions, cilantro, and the most important ingredient...scallion oil.
This place has also gotten very popular, as you can see by the line at 2pm on Saturday:
I'll be back during the week to feature a few other sandwiches from this place. And stay tuned tomorrow for my brunch at Monsoon.
Posted 18 March 2006 - 04:22 PM
Fantastic so far. So, tell me, how is it that you scored this gig? Did you just call and say, "Hey, can I work for you next week?"
Makes me wish I had asked at Al Forno instead of just visiting during the afternoon prep....
I am actually good friends with the chef, so it wasn't a difficult gig to get. But my guess is the line "I'm foodblogging for eGullet this week" will open a lot of doors.

Henry: all that gorgeous caul fat is as good as food porn gets! I checked the link to your Color Dinner and was appropriately wowed -- what the heck was in the Blue Soup?
You have a busy week coming up, and I, for one, will be checking in here often.
It was a blueberry soup with an aspic jelly top. I think she used a flower for the coloring. The rule was no artificial colors.

A question -- or, rather, a few related questions -- come to mind:
Are you a native of Seattle? If not, how did you end up there? And if you had to move somewhere else, which other places would you most like to live in?
I have been to Seattle for a visit a few years ago and really liked it. I thought Seattle was beautiful, and I ate very well while I was there and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere (to me, as a New Yorker), so I'm not asking any of these questions with the thought of speaking ill of your city.

I purchased a commercial storefront space in the Belltown area of Seattle a few years ago. This allowed me to fulfill two requirements I had when looking for a place to live; design my own place, and live in the city. Belltown is a location right next to the Pike Place Market (about a 4 block walk). We have numerous restaurants and bars in the neighborhood. Not to mention boutiquey shops and such.
The problem with my space was that it was long and narrow. So I opted to create a galley kitchen that runs along most of the length of the space.
The shelves and countertop opposite the kitchen allowed me to have lots of counterspace and provide separation from my bedroom without actually enclosing the space.
I cut a hole in the countertop next to my cutting area for easy access to garbage. It was also behind a concrete column, making the couterspace unusable.
I like to keep my spices, oils and sauces within easy reach of the range.
I have quite the extensive collection of salts.
Some of the highlights include Italian trufffle salt, himalyan pink salt, and superfine korean salt.
You can never have enough white plates, wine glasses, champagne flutes, cookbooks, and wine.
Closeup of the cookbooks.
I had to move all the non cooking food books to another shelf because I was running out of room. (You know the ones...Kitchen Confidential, The Man Who Ate Everything, Noble Rot, Salt, Choice Cuts, Fork it Over, and so on...)
Here's a rendering so you can better understand what I was trying to do with the space.
The idea was to have everything I added to the space read as an assemblage of pieces that were dropped into the space, almost like a large piece of furniture. I didn't want it to read as if I built walls that divide the space up, yet still have a clear sense of separation between different functioning "rooms"
Off to dinner at Veil. You can read (and see) about it tomorrow!

Are you a native of Seattle? If not, how did you end up there? And if you had to move somewhere else, which other places would you most like to live in?
The short story:
Moved to NYC just out of grad school at UCLA. Slept on a friend's couch for a few weeks (he was at Columbia at the time.) Recent architecture grads made about 30k a year in 1998. I wanted to live A) in Manhattan B) By myself. I should have ended up in Park Slope with roomates, but everything happens for a reason. A friend of mine said I should come out to Seattle for a 1 year pit stop on the way to NY. That was seven years ago.
More on my background later.

Oh yeah, and I just couldn't resist highlighting this one particular dish you had at Crush:
Seems to me I recall a topic elsewhere on this very board concerning another dish featuring a hunk of animal-protein sandwiched between two halves of a donut-type baked good. Just wondering if some of the folks who were perturbed by that other, admittedly much more lowbrow dish might find the concept more palatable in this more rarified form.
The second course I will never forget:
"Burger and fries" The burger is a small slice of pan seared foie gras, the bun is a donut hole cut in half, the ketsup is huckleberry puree, the fries are fried salsify chips. A truely amazing and creative dish.
