What Drayage Truckers Can Do
Drayage truck drivers play an important role in the fabric of port operations, economy and air quality. EPA's SmartWay Drayage Carriers Program has created a program to help drayage truckers reduce fuel costs and improve air quality.
The Port of Los Angeles Clean Truck Program and Port Authorities of New York and New Jersey's Truck Replacement Program exemplify how to use grants and financial incentives to improve air quality.
Replace oldest trucks and engines with newer, cleaner trucks and engines
Newer trucks are subject to stricter EPA regulations and therefore pollute less. Retiring older trucks and engines and replacing them with brand new ones plays a major role in reducing emissions.
Avoid Idling - shut off the engine
Turning off engines when not in use is the smartest and easiest way to reduce air pollution and save money. Not only does unnecessary idling waste fuel, but it causes wear and tear on the engine which requires more maintenance. By establishing an anti-idling policy for trucks, locomotives and cargo handling equipment, diesel emissions can be effectively reduced. EPA's SmartWay program maintains a list of verified idle reduction technologies.
Keep engines well maintained
Engines that are properly maintained and tuned perform better and typically emit less pollution than engines that are not properly maintained. Rebuilding an engine can also significantly lower emissions, enhance performance and provide a cost-effective improvement for high value equipment. Proper maintenance or rebuilding lowers emissions by burning fuel more efficiently and can reduce operation costs and extend engine life.
Retrofit with verified technologies, use cleaner fuels and operate more efficiently
Install emission reduction devices, replace engines or equipment, use cleaner fuels, and implement operational efficiencies which have been tested and verified. These technologies are cost-effective and yield substantial emission reductions. See EPA's Technologies and Verification pages to learn more about available options.
Operate during off-peak hours
By operating during off-peak hours, truck queuing, idling, and traffic congestion are shortened. Not only does this increase flow and efficiency, but reduces the impacts of diesel exhaust during ozone hours.

Please join us each Sunday as we share our memories of childhood. Your descendants will be thankful that you did! Share a memory here as a comment, or on your own blog, or in a private journal, but write! Leave a legacy for your children and grandchildren.
This week's Sharing Memories is the last for this year. Next Sunday is Christmas Day and I'm going to show you how to make a book out your 2011 Memories Journal. I will be starting a NEW series of topics for Sharing Memories for 2012 on Sunday Jan. 1. So be sure to check back on New Year's Day to carry on with your journal writing.
Since this is the last topic for 2011 and we're in holiday season I've decided to share my memories of the best Christmas I remember - and the worst. Life doesn't always hand out lollipops and roses. Our descendants will want to hear about our sorrows and tragedies as much as our joy and our fun times.
Best Christmas
Her little hip joins moved and her shoulder joints moved. If you held her hands she walked. And I wanted her. She was expensive and I figured I probably couldn't have her but I wanted her anyway.
That Thanksgiving I got the wishbone from the turkey, closed my eyes and made my silent wish. Of course I wished for the doll. My oldest brother asked what my wish was and I told him. He laughed and said "Ha ha once you tell a wish it won't come true" I was devasted and sobbed for hours.
But guess what - see the photo on the left? What do you think I'm holding? Yes! The articulated dolly. That was my happiest Christmas even though I don't look very happy in this photo!
Worst Christmas
|My Dad and I with the Dolly
His wrapped presents sat under our tree all that day. I don't remember who finally got them out of sight. I even remember what I bought for him that year and how excited I was thinking how much he was going to love my gift - a porcelain Dachshund with little cups hanging from its side. I kept looking at the box it was in, wrapped under the tree, thinking how much he'd have liked it.
I remember how upset I was that my mother wouldn't let any of us go and see him on Christmas Eve so I never got to say goodbye.
I remember the phone ringing when the hospital called a few hours before he passed on, and my mother telling us that he was dying. It was my brother who came and told me he was gone.
It was 51 years ago that he left us and every Christmas for 51 years I've ended up crying as Christmas Day draws to a close. It's a difficult day for me even 51 years later.
I remember. And I miss him.

Representatives of the Southeastern Utah District Health Department make Christmas cash donations to Bikers Against Child Abuse (left) and to the Carbon County Food Bank. During the year, the employees of the Health Department take turns preparing lunch for those who would like to purchase a plate or bowl of soup at $5.00 a person. All of the food prepared is donated by the employee doing the cooking. The money paid for eating the lunch is donated to a charity fund to be used at Christmas time, or during the year for charitable emergencies.
This year, the money was split between BACA and the food bank.
Also, the flu shots at the end of the season are reduced to $10 a shot (from $25) or for those people who can't pay $10, the district accepts two cans of food per shot, to be donated to the food bank. They were able to donate 500 pounds of food from the Price Health Department to the food bank this year. Outreach offices do their own "Food for Flu" and donate to their individual local food banks in Emery County, Grand County, and San Juan County.

The team chemistry is incredible. Everyone has each others backs, nobody ever gets down, and they take it game by game. It's another one of the many reasons I love Reynolds. His teammates really seem to like him and he gives it 100% every play. It's very rare at the end of a game that Reynolds doesn't have the dirtiest uniform.

Helping to stamp out hunger
4 photos | Posted 5/15/12
Postal carriers found people more generous than last year in its annual "Stamp out Hunger" food drive conducted Saturday. The local drive coordinated by Jim Harrington also received the assistance of several volunteer groups, including the Rhode Island Junior League, Singles in Motion and Local 99 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Food collected went to the Rhode Island Food Bank. Perishables went to the Rhode Island Family Shelter in Conimicut. A total of 21,771 pounds was collected in Warwick – 7,000 pounds more than last year.

Me too.
I recently installed Mandrake 8.2 and was wondering if anyone knew of any good books that can help me get accustomed to Linux and Mandrake. I am new to Linux and need a good beginners guide.
Me too.
Hmmm, I can't think of any Mandrake specific books. You might start with the Mandrake Docs.
For Linux in general O'reilly makes a lot of linux related books.
A lot of them you can probably find at your local bookstore.

Jaromir Jagr's performance for the Czech Republic
in the World Championships has added gasoline to the rumors of a potential NHL
return for No. 68.
Yesterday, Dan Barnes of the Edmonton Journal penned an
article with these comments from Jagr:
"You never know. Maybe it will be still fun to go back to
NHL," Jagr said mere minutes after collecting a bronze medal at the IIHF world
hockey championship when the Czechs beat Russia 7-4 on Sunday. "Maybe Pittsburgh. I don't know.
Maybe Montreal.
Maybe New York.
Pittsburgh, I
played there for a long time. Mario is the owner. It's better to play with
great centres like (Sidney) Crosby
and (Evgeni) Malkin, (then) this game is a little bit easier and I'm not young
anymore. I would like to score some goals, empty-netters with those guys and
it's a lot easier."
"New York,
I always had a great feeling about that city. They gave me a second chance. I
never forget about that. And Montreal and Canada, it's
totally different hockey. The fans are crazy about hockey and I've never played
in Canada
in my life. You never know."
Other media outlets have reported that Jagr is deep into
negotiations with other KHL teams and may be using the NHL rumors as leverage.
But Jagr's comments can't be ignored.
At 39-years-old, he's not the player he once was, but Jagr
could undoubtedly help an NHL team in the short-term.
It is likely that the Rangers will be hoping to add Brad
Richards and a top-six winger this summer in their quest to add more
offense. Jagr is not necessarily worse
than other free agent wingers, many of whom come with equal risk.
Simon Gagne – Long concussion history
Alex Tanguay – Big drop-off in points in each of the last
three years until revival in 2010-2011
Jussi Jokinen – Tempting, but talent may not equate to
top-six role or pay
Brooks Laich – Thrived behind Washington's big guns, likely to get big
Ville Leino – Flyers want to keep him, also will be pricey
Andrew Brunette – 37-years-old
Michael Ryder – Has been a disappointment in both Montreal and Boston
Erik Cole- Oft-injured, 32-years-old
Cory Stillman – 37-years-old, best days far behind him
Tomas Kopecky – Did well with bigger role this year, still
Tomas Fleischmann – Missed end of season with pulmonary
Scottie Upshall – Coming off best season, still scored just
34 points
Sergei Samsonov – 32-years-old, Rangers have plenty of
undersized wingers
Steve Sullivan – 36-years-old, can't stay healthy
Joel Ward – Huge in playoffs, still a third line forward
Sean Bergenheim – Monster in playoffs, doesn't fit with
previous career results
Of all of them, Leino, Jokinen, and Laich are probably the
most tempting, but they are also the players most likely to command rich
multi-year deals. The Rangers are likely
looking for a stop-gap solution while they wait for Christian Thomas and Chris
Kreider to arrive.
Several of those guys might be had on the cheap, but Jagr
might be better than all of them, even at this stage of his career.
On a one-year deal, it's hard to see where signing Jagr hurts
the Rangers. As long as he understands
the situation, he's probably as good as almost any other free agent the Rangers
bring in.
Plus, he's got a history here and it would be fun to see him
back in blue.
- Kevin DeLury at NYRangersblog.com is holding a contest in
tribute to Derek Boogaard. Head on over
there for more details.
- It has been well documented that Minnesota Wild fans were
extremely attached to Boogaard. Here are
the extremely emotional details on the memorial service held yesterday at Xcel Energy
- The Rangers continue to be tied to Swedish goalie Viktor
Fasth. Hard to understand why Fasth
would want to sign with a team so set in goal as opposed to the Tampa Bay
Lightning, but perhaps the allure of learning from Henrik Lundqvist is enough.
- Andrew Gross believes that Coach John Tortorella would be
extremely cautious should the Rangers end up on HBO's "24/7." In fact, Gross thinks that getting an inside
look at how GM Glen Sather operates might be the more interesting subplot.
- Ryan Callahan should be fully recovered by next week. Tortorella, on the other hand, is struggling
to heal from his knee replacement surgery.
- The Calgary Flames re-signed Curtis Glencross to a four-year,
$10.2 million deal. This is a little
surprising because the Flames are pressed right up against the salary cap. Re-signing Glencross doesn't seem like it
should have been a high priority. That's
another winger off the free agent market, though there have been no indications
that the Rangers were interested. Glencross's
cap hit of $2.55 million may impact the Rangers' offers to Brian Boyle, Brandon
Dubinsky, and Ryan Callahan.
- Larry Brooks reports that the Rangers will likely be forced
to hold their last two weeks of training camp overseas plus a handful of
exhibition games against European teams and their first two regular season
games. The Blueshirts will return home
only to head on another six-to-eight game road trip, probably to Western
Canada, as they await the re-opening of Madison Square

The drafters of Tunisia's post-revolutionary constitution are considering a plan
to allocate seats in the country's new parliament to Jews.A majority of
members of the committee on legislative and executive power in the Tunisian
Constituent Assembly, the body elected in October 2011 to draft the country's
new constitution, indicated in discussions that Jews should be allocated seats
in the new parliament, according to a report by Africa Manager, a local news
outlet. Disagreement remains among members of the commission over allocating
permanent seats to other religious minorities in Tunisia.A local Jewish
community leader expressed opposition to the idea of having permanent seats
allocated to Jews in the parliament."I am a Tunisian like any other
Tunisian, and I want a parliament where people are elected based on their
qualifications to serve the people and not on their religious confessions,"
Roland Sa'ada told JTA. "I might be Jewish, but I know many Muslims who could
represent my ideas in parliament who I would vote for. Likewise, I would hope a
Muslim would vote for a Jew running for parliament if he agreed with his ideas
and thought he was qualified."Yamina Thabet, the president of the
Tunisian Association for the Support of Minorities, called the effort absurd and
a form of discrimination."If you are really serious about the equality
of Tunisian citizens disregarding race, religion and cultural identities you
will not be talking about seats allocated for some specific group of people,"
she wrote on the association's Facebook page. "We would like to see the
government seriously criminalize all forms of discrimination, stop protesters
who call for the murder of Jews, stop imams who call for the torture of
non-Muslims, and non-Muslims should be allowed to serve as president." Currently
there is a provision in the interim constitution stating that the president must
be Muslim.

PAWTUCKET – Where there's a will, there's a … possible return to the Boston Red Sox?
While it should be noted that Will Middlebrooks entered Pawtucket's record books on Wednesday night, there is a much bigger picture to consider. The sledgehammer he took to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's pitching staff came with a note attached: I'm getting close.
A few more games like the two-home run, 8-RBI showing he posted and Middlebrooks won't be property of the Pawtucket Red Sox for long. In fact, when the PawSox return to McCoy Stadium next Thursday, it would have to be considered a surprise to see him still with the club.
Middlebrooks was the very definition of locked in as he and his Pawtucket teammates supplied more fireworks in an 11-5 win witnessed before a season-high gathering of 10,929 at McCoy.
"For me, I like to see him in the batter's box hitting the ball hard," said Pawtucket manager Gary DiSarcina. "An absolutely incredible night."
The eight runs Middlebrooks knocked in came as a result of the following: a run-scoring double in the third inning, a three-run home run in the fourth inning and a grand slam in the fifth. The eight RBI matches a franchise record for a single game as Middlebrooks becomes the first PawSox to turn the trick since Freddy Garcia on July 27, 2000.
He put a cap on his 4-for-5 night with a hard single into left field in the eighth inning.
The three-run blast came on a hanging curveball that Middlebrooks sent screaming into the left-field bullpen. The grand slam saw Middlebrooks jump on a 3-2 fastball that sat on the outer edge. Going with the offering, he deposited the ball a few rows behind the right-center field fence.
The fireworks Middlebrooks made with the wood on Wednesday comes a few days after he blasted a pair of two-run homers against the same RailRiders' pitching staff.
"The past couple of games, I've been trying to be patient and – what's the word? – selectively aggressive. Just seeing and hitting it no matter what the count is," said Middlebrooks, who served as Pawtucket's designated hitter. "If they're going to give me a good pitch, it doesn't matter what the count is."
Added DiSarcina, "He's letting the ball travel (through the zone more) before driving it. I'd bet he'd tell you that he thought the grand slam was a double, but he's so strong that it just elevated."
Middlebrooks hinted that he's starting feel healthy, meaning that the struggles that ultimately led to the Red Sox optioning him may have been the result of the back troubles that landed him on the disabled list last month.
"I'm feeling normal and like myself again," he said. "Just some lingering things. It was nothing serious, but there was something tight."
Middlebrooks was responsible for two of the five home runs hit in the contest; a total of 24 round trippers were hit during the five-game set. Jackie Bradley Jr. also went deep for the home team, his seventh coming in the seventh inning.
Alfredo Aceves was the beneficiary of Middlebrooks' long-ball theatrics, this despite surrounding two homers to Scranton. Aceves improved to 4-2 after allowing five runs on eight hits in five innings.
Three relievers combined to toss five shutout innings – Anthony Carter, Chris Martin and Jose De La Torre. Wednesday's game saw a pair of position players try their luck at new positions as Xander Bogaerts played third base while Alex Hassan patrolled first base.
The PawSox now begin a stretch that will see them play 16 of their next 20 games away from McCoy Stadium. The first four games will see Pawtucket head to Rochester before heading to Lehigh Valley for a three-game set.

We'll respond shortly.
"How do I stop bit.ly from adding trailing slashes to my URLs?"
If you have a url of the form
http://maps.google.com?q=37.7,+-122.4 then bit.ly will normalize it by adding a trailing slash:
http://maps.google.com?q=37.7,+-122.4/. However, the work around is to instead correctly insert the slash yourself:
"Mongrel is raising undefined constant exceptions. How do we stop this or workaround it?"
A non-threaded Rails 2.1 application using Pivotal Labs' Desert Plugin gets occasional
NameError exceptions about undefined constants that should have been loaded by Rails / Desert. The application preloads all dependencies and the errors don't occur until there is a request; it's not the same
NameError every time.
No one had seen this behavior and so the main suggestion was to upgrade Rails. A work around to make monit reload the Mongrel process is to have Mongrel exit on
NameError exceptions by calling
Process.exit in a
rescue_from block.
Hey Matthew! Great to see that you are still working with Rails! How are ya?
Some more hints about using the bit.ly API:
– The API responds with JSON, but the Content-Type is "text/html" instead of "application/json". Some HTTP libraries automatically parse JSON into an object graph, but may not do it if the Content-Type is not "application/json". So you might have to force your HTTP library to parse the JSON or do it manually.
– The API responds to "/shorten" with a JSON string that contains a map from the long URL(s) you passed in to the shortened versions. If you don't properly escape the long URLs that you pass in, then bit.ly will do it for you and the keys in the returned map won't be exactly the URLs you passed in, which makes finding the shortened URLs hard. So be sure to properly escape the URLs.

Study to Determine the Safety and Tolerability of Varenicline (Chantix®) in Treating Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3

- How to Read a Study Record
Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a group of inherited disorders characterized by cerebellar degeneration leading to imbalance, incoordination, speech difficulties and problems with walking. Recently, individual case reports have suggested that varenicline, a drug used in smoking cessation, produces substantial improvement in patients with several inherited ataxias. A modest response was noted in 5 patients with SCA, suggesting that it is potentially efficacious in this disorder as well. Although this agent is available for off-label use, the severe side effects noted with its use and the lack of long-term toxicity data demand that it be systematically assessed. The present study will test whether varenicline is safe and potentially efficacious in a heterogeneous cohort of adults with SCA.

Awwwww yeah!!! Its gonna be insane on sunday!
Awwwww yeah!!! Its gonna be insane on sunday!
this is going to be great. his stage will be PACKED!
Is this his first live show in California?
Its his first show in the united states. (until a tour gets announced)
This is my most anticipated act of the entire festival.
Everyone should really consider making The Weeknd a huge priority on Sunday. It will be monumental!
Is he big enough for outdoor stage? Or definitely gobi act
This is my third most anticipated act of the weekend, under Radiohead and Pulp. Meaning that he is top priority on Sunday.
It is mandatory that he plays during the night
Yeah, I'm looking forward to this most on sunday as well. Pretty weak day.
He'll certainly play at night, but I doubt he'll close a stage. Wherever he plays it's going to be packed.
This is certainly going to be something special
Probably one of the top 3 acts I really want to see that weekend.
No. It's R&B with space noises.
Anyone have any idea what time slot and stage you think he'll play at?
Probably around 2 in the Gobi.
I...dont get this? It sounds so poppy. Im getting an R Kelley vibe.
Flight Facilities 02/25 @ Fonda
I really don't get the Weeknd hype
9/25 Titus Andronicus @ The Glass House
10/15 Deerhunter w/ Atlas Sound @ The Glass House
10/17 Ariel Pink & Black Lips @ Pappy & Harriets
it's shit
If he plays at the same time as ATDI I might punch somebody.
12/6: Japandroids/DIIV
1/10: Mister Lies/Matthewdavid
He'll have 25% more live experience for the W2 performance than W1.
Probably the set I'm looking forward to most.
"The Morning" is my favorite song of the year. It just makes me want to grind so bad. Such sexy music. The 808 drum machine just plain makes the sexiest beats in the world. There will be so many girls there

Out West and Cherry Berry Pie
A trip out west, some Daytrotting, a puppy named Garp, bug bites, a dilapidated farmhouse turned art gallery, a rock and roll show in a barn, and a family reunion capped off with a cherry berry pie that was baked in an unfamiliar kitchen then served to familiar folks, with this no-churn ice cream and devoured in seconds.
Where is your summer taking you? I'd love to hear.
Cherry Berry Pie
Sweet cherries and tart berries are combined to make this super summery pie. I used my favorite pie crust recipe, but feel free to use your own favorite recipe if you have one.
For the Crust
This crust comes to you from Brandi Henderson of I made that! and The Pantry at Delancey where she teaches a class called "How to be a Pie Ninja" and she is not messing around. Brandi uses a technique called fraisage which creates long sheets of buttery flakes throughout the dough instead of little pockets of butter. Delightful!
12 oz pastry flour
8 oz cold butter
4 oz ice water
1t apple cider vinegar
1/2t salt
1. Mix the flour and salt together, then pour the whole lot on a large cutting board or countertop.
2. With a bench scraper, cut in half of the butter until it is the size of lima beans, then cut in the other half of the butter until it is the size of quarters. Add the apple cider vinegar to the water.
3. Using your fingers, flick the water on to the butter flour mixture and gently fold it in with your bench scraper. You have added enough water when you can pick up a handful of the dough and squeeze it together without it falling apart.
4. Then, get this, you smear the butter into the dough. With the heel of your hand push a section of the dough down and away from you. Congratulations, you have just created a sheet of butter which is going to turn delicious flaky crust. Scrape your sheet off of the board and place it in a bowl to the side. Repeat until you have worked through all of the dough, pushing it down and away from you in sections. Once you've gone through all of the dough gently remove it from the bowl, press it together, then split it in half, and wrap each half in plastic wrap and form into a disk. Chill the dough for at least one hour before using. I chilled mine overnight.
If this sounds confusing, check out the link above for a really helpful photo tutorial.
For the Filling
1 pint blueberries
1 pint blackberries
2 pints sweet cherries, pitted and roughly chopped
2-4 ounces sugar, depending on the sweetness of your fruit
zest of one lemon
2T lemon juice
1.25 ounces flour
1/2t almond extract
pinch salt
pinch freshly grated nutmeg
For the Topping
1 egg, beaten
A few tablespoons of coarse sugar like turbinado or light demerara
To Assemble and Bake
Preheat oven to 450º 1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one piece of the dough into a 12'' circle about 1/8'' thick and place it into a 9 or 10 inch pie pan. Place in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the pie.
2. Roll out the other piece of dough into a 12'' circle about 1/8'' thick and place it in the fridge to chill while you prepare the filling.
3. In a large bowl, combine the fruit, sugar, lemon zest and juice, flour, almond extract, salt and nutmeg. Toss gently to combine. Fill the prepared pie shell with the berry mixture and top with the second crust, crimp the edges and cut a few vents. Alternately, you can top the pie with a lattice-style crust as I've done in the photo above. Here is a link to a great photo tutorial on Simply Recipes. When I make a lattice topped pie, I like to use nice thick strips of dough, the strips pictured above are about 1'' wide.
4. If the crust seems soft or warm, slide the whole pie into the fridge or freezer for about 15min before you bake it. When you are ready to bake brush the top of the pie with a beaten egg and sprinkle with a healthy dose of coarse sugar.
5. Put the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 15min on the lowest rack of your oven, then lower the oven temp to 350º and bake for 40-50min or until the crust is deep golden brown and the berry juices bubble. Cool at least 2 hours before serving, preferably more.

Sounds dreamy! Are you are up in Washington? We're headed that way this weekend for a wedding and I really can't wait! xoReplyDeleteReplies
Sadly I'm back in sweltering NYC, but I hear the weather in Seattle has been incredible lately. Say hello to my home state for me, I miss it!Delete
Beautiful round up of photos, Yossy! And what an adorable pup! I've only been back to my western home twice in the last four years, though sometimes I think about the PNW very fondly. Though I have an upcoming trip to LA in three weeks, hopefully that will quell the western desire in me, at least in the short term.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks lady, I only made it about half way to the west coast on this trip ;), but I hope to get there soon. PNW summers are the absolute best! I think any time you can take away from the city is good for your soul, safe travels!Delete
These photographs took my breath away! That old wall, that peeling paper, those floorboards... my oh my. Not to mention that cherry pie ;)ReplyDelete
Yos, this looks so beautiful. How I wish i had been there!ReplyDelete
This pie looks fabulous!ReplyDelete
Just realized this is Codfish Hollow, isn't it incredible? (saw Daytrotter's retweet of your photos and it all made sense). I live in Des Moines and came across your blog via Emma Barker, who I grew up with. Anyway, hope you enjoyed your time in Iowa. Small world...ReplyDeleteReplies
It's amazing! I got to tag along with my bf who was shooting the Barn on the 4th show, he works with the Daytrotter dudes. I had a great time, but I always love visiting the Midwest even though this trip was oppressively hot! Thanks for your kind words about my blog too.Delete
Should also probably mention I love your blog and this pie looks fantastic!ReplyDelete
Well, your "out west" looks just lovely. My "out west" is on the Pacific Ocean, on Vancouver Island, Canada. We live on the southern tip of the island in Victoria (known for pretending it's English, with high tea and all!), but last week, my husband and I went further west to the west coast of the island and a little surfing town called Tofino.ReplyDelete
We hiked out to find a plane wreck from World War II. The cool thing is that my husband's grandfather was on the crew of that plane -- and everyone survived when it crashed! We took his parents and it was quite the adventure through the swamp to find the plane . . . but oh so worth it! If you want to read the whole story, it's here: http://bit.ly/PVwbye
P.S. Love the look of the pie and definitely trying the no-churn ice cream!Replies
Hey Stephanie! My family loves Victoria, they are from Seattle and often make the trip up for the weekend. Thanks for sharing your story about your trip to Tofino, too cool!Delete
How neat about your family being from so close. So you know what it feels like to smell a rain forest every day. (:Delete
By the way, I tried making no-church ice cream with coffee and cacao nibs and it was fabulous -- I'm already plotting what flavour I'll make next . . .
You certainly make a mean pie. (As I write that I'm thinking that isn't it funny we say "mean pie" when really we mean "really-amazingly-delicious-pie" which is about as far away from mean as you can get....I guess it's kind of like saying "wicked" to mean awesome). I love this collection of photos. Garp is a beauty, no doubt about it. Looking forward to making this pie.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much Talley and yes, where do those expressions come from, ha!Delete
I will now call you the crust ninja, because I love your pie crusts so much! They are dark and caramelized and wonderful. Looks like you're having a great summer. I've been home to Arkansas for my (one and only) nephew's first birthday party, and the husband and I are headed to Seattle in a couple of weeks. It's been a pretty darn good summer.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Jess! This is totally my summer of pie and I am having so much fun experimenting with different crusts and techniques. I hope people aren't getting sick of seeing pies and tarts because there are more coming, haha. I'm so jealous you are going to Seattle soon, summers there are the best!Delete

John S. Phillips Jr., 26, of 284 Halsey Road, Pulaski, was identified late Thursday night by Watertown police as the hit-and-run driver who left two motorcycle riders injured and on the pavement at Washington and Clinton streets.
The bikers, Charles E. Nuffer, 46, and his wife, Joy E. Nuffer, 47, both of 21471 County Route 69, Rodman, suffered head and back injuries, and were taken by Guilfoyle ambulances to Samaritan Medical Center.
Mr. Phillips was detained to await arraignment Friday morning in City Court on charges of driving while intoxicated, leaving the scene of a personal injury accident, and following too close. Police said that following his arrest at 11:05 p.m., approximately 87 minutes after the accident, Mr. Phillips had a breath test reading of 0.13 percent blood alcohol content. Under state law, 0.08 percent constitutes intoxication.
Police said Mr. Nuffer, with his wife as passenger, was northbound on Washington Street when he stopped for a red traffic light at Clinton Street. Witnesses described for police a dark blue Mitsubishi Eclipse that struck the rear of the motorcycle, and then drove away. Mr. Nuffer was left pinned beneath his bike in the northbound lane, partially into the intersection. His wife, eventually able to sit up, was off to the side.
The witnesses also provided a license number for the getaway car, and police agencies were alerted that the motorist was likely headed to Pulaski. An Oswego County sheriff's deputy went to Mr. Phillips' residence, and was told that he could be found at 518 Stone St. in Watertown. That is where city police found him.
Watertown police said a man and a woman riding a motorcycle were struck from behind and injured by a dark blue Mitsubishi Eclipse convertible, occupied by two men, which then drove away.
Police said the victims were conscious at the scene, with the man lying beneath the motorcycle.
The two were taken by Guilfoyle Ambulance to Samaritan Medical Center.

By DENNIS WILLISContributing writer
When I read Carbon County Commissioner John Jones' testimony to Congress on the Antiquities Act, I was stunned by his statement; the people of rural Utah, "live in fear," of the presidential power to create National Monuments. Further in his testimony, Commissioner Jones described how the designation of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, "devastated the economies of Kane and Garfield Counties and the lifestyles of the people live there." In the devastating twelve years after the designation their population rose by 8%, jobs rose by 38% and per capita income increased by 30%.
By comparison Carbon County should be in the chips since the 1996 monument designation. Along with not being encumbered by a monument, Carbon enjoyed a net loss of federal land within the county. Several thousand acres of mineral rich BLM lands in Carbon County were transferred to the State of Utah. Since the designation, Carbon has seen the development of four coalbed methane fields, a conventional gas field, some limited oil drilling. The Lila Canyon Coal Mine opened just across the line in Emery County. The nearest population center, coal shipping facility and mine service companies are all in Carbon County. While the monument is closed to oil and gas development, 78% of the public lands in Carbon and Emery Counties are available for leasing.
While the population around the GSENM was growing, Carbon County population declined and has just recovered to the 1996 level. Jobs grew by about 3%. Per capita income grew by just 11%. In 1996 both Kane and Garfield counties had lower per capita income than did Carbon. The reverse is now true despite all the extractive industry development in Carbon.
Compounding our economic woes, Carbon County is rated as the least healthy county in the state. Our access to medical facilities and providers is ranked 9th out of 29 counties yet we rank last for overall health. Good access to health care does not overcome our behavioral and socio-economic risk factors.
Carbon County has been home for over half of my 60 years. I have a passion for this place and appreciation for the folks who live here. I turned down very nice offers to work and live elsewhere. The point of this essay is not to run down Carbon County. This community does not live in fear of monuments or monsters under the bed. We do not benefit by feeling sorry for counties that have fared better than us. We would be best served by working to make our community more livable, our people healthier. If we have a collective fault it is clinging to the gambler's dream, hoping the next coal mine or gas play somehow assures prosperity. Instead of waiting for our futures to be decided in far away corporate board rooms, we should be creating it for ourselves.

April 1944: The Flying Wallendas, famous high wire act with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey's Circus, perform their death-defying double pinwheel in Madison Square Garden in New York. From left: Herman, Henrietta, Helen and Karl Wallenda. (AP Photo)
Of all the daredevils throughout history, few have been as legendary as the world-renowned circus family, the Flying Wallendas.
For generations, the Wallendas have performed high-wire acts without a net, guided and inspired by patriarch Karl Wallenda. A circus performer from early childhood, he founded the troupe that would achieve world fame and break record after record. Some of those death-defying achievements belonged to Karl himself – as when he broke the world skywalk distance record by walking 1,800 feet on a high-wire at King's Island. Even when he didn't set a new standard on the high-wire for highest or longest, he dazzled and amazed, performing stunts like a midair headstand.
The Flying Wallendas' stunts were spectacular but not always successful – and sometimes they ended in tragedy. One such incident was 1962's Seven Chair Pyramid, a stunt the family had often performed that featured seven performers on the wire together in a three-layer pyramid. While high in the sky over the Shrine Circus in Detroit, one walker lost his footing and the pyramid collapsed. Several of the performers fell to the ground, and two were killed.
Jan. 30, 1962: The Great Wallendas walk the high wire during their three-tier seven-person pyramid performance at the State Fair Coliseum in Detroit, Mich. During the performance the pyramid formation collapsed and the performers fell to the ground injuring performers Jana Schepp and Mario Wallenda, as well as killing performers Richard Faughnan and Dieter Schepp. Bottom row from left: Dieter Schepp, Mario Wallenda, Richard Faughnan and Gunther Wallenda. Second row from left: Karl Wallenda and Herman Wallenda. Sitting on chair is Jana Schepp. (AP Photo)
Even while the Wallenda family mourned, the show went on. The pyramid was brought back to the act, along with other stunning feats. But death is always a risk for the tightrope walker. Karl Wallenda's sister-in-law Rietta died in 1963, and son-in-law Chico Guzman in 1972. And then on March 22, 1978, Karl Wallenda flew for the last time. While walking a high-wire between the towers of the Condado Plaza Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the 73-year-old daredevil fell ten stories to his death.
Thirty-five years later, the Wallenda family act continues. Great-grandson Nik Wallenda, inspired by his famous forebear, recently completed the first ever high-wire walk across Niagara Falls. And as a group, the Flying Wallendas continue to perform around the world… seemingly with the greatest of ease.

A Great - NO FRILLS Cycling Shoe!!
By MarkusB/Team Sunrype
from Manhattan Beach, CA.
About Me Competitive Cyclist
I was seriously beating up my expensive (Diadora)Carbon Racing shoes training in them everyday, so decided I was going to look for a quality shoe for daily training that would not break the bank, but on the other hand I wanted something quality since I am used to high end cycling shoes! I have never owned a pair of Giro brand shoes before, I knew they made excellent helmets and knew they are a respected company in the industry, so I had no fear in trying their cycling shoes. I have to say I was pleasantly surprise at how nice they were, especially for a low end shoe. I really liked how well they fit, super comfortable right out of the box. They have a nice stiff sole providing good power to the pedals and being so light-weight is a huge plus!You can spend more but not get such a nice shoe. (I got these shoes on sale which them very attractive but would be just as happy with them if I paid full price, which wasn't much!) I am very happy with them and would highly recommend them to any one looking for a second pair of cycling shoes or a quality low end shoe. A nice shoe for the amateur triathlete. (I'm thinking of using them for triathlon this season since they are so quick and easy to put on the fly). Well done Giro!! Thank you Bike Nashbar for providing quality products at fair prices with always excellent service... Cheers! Markus B./Team SunRype - Eat Healthy and Thrive. *****
great fitting shoes, and light?
By Jay
from Brooklyn, NY
I needed a new pair when I built my second bike because the cleats weren't compatible.I've worn these for several months and they are still stiff in the soles with no stretching in the uppers. And they're lighter than my old Diadora's. They don't have the precision zip-tie straps on the top, but that makes nearly no difference. My feet are narrow from the heel to the ball but are a little on the wide side through the forefoot. I put an insole in an they fit well, though I have to wear two thin pairs of socks. But all the shoes I've had have been like that.Do not hesitate. Buy a pair of these.
Great deal

Good fit
By Brian Radler
from Spanish Springs NV
This shoe fits well and is not as narrow as most other brands of same size. Very lightweight and the three velcro closures provide a good fit
Really good shoe for the price
By Nono Baddog
from Greenville, SC
I have been wanting to try clipless shoes and pedals for a long time but I really did not want to tie up a lot of money just in case I did not like it. I expected a fair shoe at best for the price, but these really are a bit nicer than I expected, the bottoms are nice and stiff, the shoes averall are very lightweight and have a little vent in the bottom to keep the heat down and breath well overall.
Great Value
By Butling Brit
from Peoples Republic of Cambridge MA
Giro Treble shoes run true to size. I wear a 10.5/44 dress shoe and the size 44 that I ordered were perfect. In terms of width, I'm a D and they were wide enough and very comfortable from the first ride.Set up well with old-style Time Equipe road pedal and cleats.Pretty fancy shoe for the money.

It's as anarchistic as a schoolboy describing his religion in an open letter to a religious insensitive school board.
My favourite part is when Peter, Michael and Samir are in the car and realise their foolproof scam has cost the company over $300,000 in one weekend. Samir says in his middle eastern accent "This is a shit"

If you are an NFL fan, you may have noticed a running theme through the first two weeks of November. Camouflage footballs, military flyovers and the vivid colors of American patriotism are on display both on and off the field.
In honor of Veterans Day, all 32 NFL teams designated one home game this month to honor military men and women for their service and sacrifice.
During these games, teams are displaying a number of branded elements on the sidelines and in the end zones for this "Salute to Service" campaign. These elements include goalpost wraps, pylons with camouflage ribbon decals, wall banners and the words "Salute to Service" written in the back of the end zone.
Most of these items are then auctioned off at http://www.nfl.com/salute to raise money for three military charities: the USO, the Pat Tillman Foundation and Wounded Warrior Project. In addition, for every point scored during the NFL's 32 "Salute to Service" games, the league will donate $100 to each of its nonprofit partners.
The "Salute to Service" campaign aligns with the NFL's long history of supporting America's armed services, including a partnership of more than 45 years with the USO, highlighted by visits to troops overseas and to military hospitals nationwide.
On Veterans Day, the Baltimore Ravens held their "Salute to Service" game against the Oakland Raiders. Marine Corps Sergeant Emily Thompson-Schelberg of Towson, Md., was recognized before the game as the 2012 NFL-Tillman Military Scholar. Thompson-Schelberg is pursuing a master's degree at the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing in Baltimore. Maryland National Guard members stationed in Kandahar, Afghanistan, participated in the pre-game ceremony via live feed.
Ravens coach and USO tour veteran John Harbaugh was particularly moved by the ceremony and the "Salute to Service" campaign.
"What the NFL and teams around the league are doing right now by recognizing servicemen and women like Emily is just spectacular," Harbaugh said. "We do some great things in the National Football League, but to me the 'Salute to Service' games are by far the most meaningful because the support goes to the right organizations.
"The USO is one of these great organizations. What they do for troops is first class all the way. I feel like America is in good hands as long as these very special people keep making very special sacrifices to keep sane those who keep us safe."
The USO will use funds raised from "Salute to Service" to support Operation Enduring Care, the USO's campaign to support wounded, ill and injured troops and their families and caregivers throughout the rehabilitation process. The centerpieces of Operation Enduring Care are two new USO Warrior and Family Care Centers at Fort Belvoir in Virginia and at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland.
