MASSENA - Using shovels made from aluminum, federal, state and local officials turned the first clumps of dirt Monday at Alcoas East Plant to kick off the companys more than $600 million expansion and modernization of their manufacturing facility in Massena.
After years of uncertainty, delay and hurdles on the federal and state level, all thats left is to get shovels in the ground, champagne corks in the air and hundreds of new paychecks signed, sealed and delivered to Alcoa workers, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer said during the noon ceremony.
He was joined by other dignitaries including Alcoas U.S. Primary Products President John D. Martin, Lt. Gov. Robert J. Duffy, Rep. William L. Owens, Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, Massena Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray, New York Power Authority President and CEO Gil C. Quiniones and NYPA Trustee Eugene L. Nicandri, St. Lawrence County Legislature Chairman Jonathan Putney and Massena Mayor James F. Hidy.
The speakers agreed that making the project a reality was a combination of efforts between federal, state and local officials.
We all work as a team - Democratic, Republican, state, federal and local, Mr. Schumer said.
He recounted the process that led them to Mondays ceremony. Mr. Schumer said that the urging of local labor leader Ernest J. LaBaff, he had met with former Alcoa CEO Alain Belda, who laid out a vision for the company, 15 years ago. It involved Alcoa getting cheaper hydropower from the New York Power Authority to expand their Massena operations and ultimately increase the number of jobs.
He reminded me that the best labor force Alcoa has is in the north country, Mr. Schumer said.
He said Mr. Belda had stressed the importance of low-cost power, which was available in other states such as Tennessee and Washington, and reminded him that their power contract with the New York Power Authority was set to be renewed. If they could get good a good contact with NYPA, Mr. Belda said, they could expand Massenas operations.
Mr. Schumer said he then met with former Gov. Eliot Spitzer and told him, You have to pay attention to the north country. He also arranged a meeting between Mr. Spitzer and Mr. Belda.
But then there was a transition both at Alcoa and the state levels. Alcoas new Chairman and CEO Klaus Kleinfeld continued talks with former Gov. David A. Paterson and a contract was signed between NYPA and Alcoa in January 2009 during a ceremony at the companys East Plant.
That meant power here was cheaper than all the other places, Mr. Schumer said.
But then another problem detoured the process - the cost of Alcoas cleanup of the Grasse River. Alcoa officials said that if they had to spend $1 billion to clean up the river, they would not have the funding necessary to expand their facility, according to the senator.
This is one of the great days of the north country and Im proud to have been playing a part in it, he said. Now we cross the finish line on this monumental and long-awaited expansion. You kept your word and that means a whole lot to us. Loyalty and dedication are always name of the game for Alcoa.
He said the modernization and expansion will make the north country an even greater aluminum producer than it has been in the past. This will create jobs, boost the local economy and now, with the riverbed cleanup moving forward, improve the environment. I was proud to fight for Alcoa throughout the years and now our hard work and faith have been rewarded. This investment will anchor Alcoa and its jobs in St. Lawrence County for decades to come.
Alcoas expansion for their Massena facility is great news for the local community and will mean new jobs and economic development, Mr. Duffy said. From our states top-tier workforce to all the north country has to offer, New York state is a place that businesses can invest and grow, and we are pleased that Alcoa has chosen the Massena community to continue to create jobs and expand operations.
He said that, since taking office, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has put a new emphasis on creating jobs and supporting local economies in the north country, and today we are seeing yet another example of a business choosing a community in this region as the place to invest.
Mr. Duffy called the partnership and modernization and Alcoas decision to invest in the north huge, saving 1,000 local jobs in the process.
Its a huge boost for the north country. The north country needs jobs, he said, and speaking of the work force, said, Its the dedication and hard work you put forth that makes it easier for the company to stay.
Mr. Owens said the plans would preserve jobs, short-term through construction and long-term through those already employed at Alcoa.
He also cited the partnerships that made Mondays ceremony possible. He said all the entities worked together to help companies like Alcoa keep a presence in our communities.
Mr. Griffo lauded the workers, saying, You are one of the most valuable resources any community or company can have.
He also called the partnership between all agencies the key to success.
These jobs are jobs that will have a large effect on our economy, Ms. Russell said, noting Alcoa provides good paying jobs that helps the local economic base.
These are fantastic jobs that you can raise a family or build a community on, she said. We all know as Alcoa goes, the north country.
On the other hand, when Alcoa is doing well, it reverberates through the entire economy, Ms. Russell said.
This is a great day, something we have been looking forward to for a long time, Mr. Gray said, noting that Alcoa and Massena grew together over the years.
When we can secure these kinds of jobs for the future, theres nothing more important than that, he said.
Mr. Quinones said NYPA was happy to have been a part of keeping Alcoa in the community with expansion plans.
Its shows when government and business work together, great things can happen, he said. The North Country Economic Development Fund is also open for business and ready to accept applications in the near future. Today, in more ways than, yes, Alcoa is open for business.
Mr. Nicandri said Mondays groundbreaking has special meaning for him as a long-time Massena resident with friends and neighbors part of the Alcoa family.
From where I stand, the future looks bright, he said.
It has been a long time coming. This has been a long, hard road. We couldnt do it without our political friends and community friends, Mr. Martin said. Alcoa is pleased to work with the state of New York and the community to ensure that we remain an integral part of the north countrys economic development.
Todays groundbreaking is a major step forward for the modernization project of the Alcoa facility in Massena, Gov. Cuomo said in a prepared statement. Alcoa is a world class company that is continuing to spur economic development and make investments in the community. Under this project, 1,000 jobs will be retained. New York State looks forward to building upon this partnership with Alcoa to grow the economy of the North Country region for years to come.
Also during the ceremony, Mr. Martin presented a $50,000 check to CITEC, Inc. on behalf of the Alcoa Foundation. The $50,000 grant to CITEC, a Potsdam-based not-for-profit economic development organization, will be used to pilot a program that will help students obtain the necessary skills to qualify them for positions in north country manufacturing firms.
The goal of the initiative, called the North Country Manufacturing Readiness Program, is to help individuals qualify for higher-wage jobs and to help employers increase productivity and performance in their companies. The program is a partnership between CITEC, The St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services and local high schools.
He also presented a $10 million check to the North Country Economic Development Fund on behalf of Alcoa Inc. Massena Operations.
The modernization and upgrade of the facility, together with $10 million for a North Country Economic Development Loan Fund were made possible under an agreement between Alcoa and New York state. The states commitment to supply 478 megawatts of low-cost electricity led to the companys investment and modernization plans and commitment to the long-term retention of nearly 1,000 jobs.
Under the contract, which was entered into in 2009, Alcoa committed to protect nearly a thousand jobs at its Massena facilities and undertake capital investments of at least $600 million, of which $42 million is currently being spent on site preparation for a new aluminum production potline at the Massena East plant.
The North Country Economic Development Loan Fund is available to manufacturers, agri-business, clean/green and bio tech, assemblers, wholesale distributors, warehouses, Business Improvement Districts or not-for-profit entities for the purpose of revitalization. Retail/market applicants may also be eligible but must meet special criteria in order to be considered for a loan.
Applicants can request a loan for a number of purposes, including, acquisition of land, building construction and rehabilitation, purchase of machinery. For every $15,000 loaned from the fund, at least one job must be created or retained.

MASSENA The Massena Neighborhood Center has more food to put on its shelves about 500 pounds to be specific thanks to the efforts of a local fitness trainer.
And, John Roder notes, it didnt take long to start filling tote bins.
It was a two-week process, he said as he, Larry Fountaine and Robert Baker made the delivery to the Neighborhood Center on Friday afternoon.
Mr. Roder said he used to do similar drives at the Delmar Tavern and now, as a personal trainer, he decided to try it again to see what kind of results he could get.
People responded well. I did almost triple what I did at the Delmar, he said.
It took only word of mouth with his clients and some advertising on Facebook to get the message out, according to Mr. Roder, who said he simply explained that while they were probably going enjoy a big meal on Christmas Day, others wouldnt be so fortunate.
At first it was my clients and nonperishables. Then I posted on Facebook for whoever else wanted to take part. It blew up. Its the community helping the community, he said.
Mr. Roder said he thought he would get enough nonperishables to fill one tote. He ended up filling five big totes with food items for the Neighborhood Center. A friend, Patrick D. Villano, also donated 58 toothbrushes.
I got a large variety, Mr. Roder said.
He received so many food items that he had to store them in his spare bedroom until Friday, when he packed the totes onto a pickup truck and made the delivery.
That generosity from the community made him feel good, Mr. Roder said.
Its like walking downstairs to see a tree full of presents. Its the same feeling, he said.
Elaine H. Eggleston, executive director of the Massena Neighborhood Center, said it welcomed the donation. With the distribution of Christmas boxes to the needy, its shelves were starting to look empty. Now, with the help of Mr. Roder and those who contributed to his effort, it can fill them up again.
Mr. Roder said hes not done, though.
My next goal is to do something for Christmas in July. If I start early enough, I can hopefully get 1,000 pounds. The way this took off, I think Id be able to do it, he said.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: EMONC: Community mobilization, HBLSS and Facility Improvement
The intervention group received training in community mobilization activities, Home Based Life Saving Skills (HBLSS) and facility improvement.
Behavioral: Community Mobilization, HBLSS and facility improvement
Mobilization of the community, with special emphasis on pregnant women and their families, to identify resources and solutions to improve maternal and neonatal mortality, home-based life savings skills (HBLSS) for community birth attendants and facility improvement activities.
Other Name: CM
No Intervention: Control
The control group did not receive an intervention, but collected outcome data through a baseline maternal/newborn birth registry.
Detailed Description:
Maternal death, stillbirth, early neonatal death, and obstetric fistula are among the most devastating adverse outcomes of pregnancy. Existing interventions could avert the majority of maternal and neonatal deaths; however, those women at greatest risk are least likely to have access to interventions delivered through the formal health care system. In many developing countries, most deliveries in rural areas and a significant number in urban areas are conducted at home without skilled attendance, circumstances which pose a high risk for both mothers and their neonates. The EmONC trial is designed to evaluate a comprehensive intervention encompassing community mobilization to establish and sustain mechanisms of transport and payment and to drive client-oriented emergency obstetrical and neonatal care. The intervention includes teaching recognition of prolonged labor, infection, preeclampsia and hemorrhage, and the use of appropriate stabilization methods by all community birth attendants. In addition, poor access to quality emergency obstetric and neonatal care in a sustainable manner will be addressed. To evaluate the effectiveness of this approach, a cluster-randomized trial is required to assess whether Cluster EmONC teams can work with the community and health care system to reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes in diverse settings where the majority of deliveries occur at home or at a health clinic with few or no available EmONC interventions. To accomplish the intervention, a train-the-trainer approach will be used. Master trainers will facilitate central and regional training sessions for Country trainers organized around the areas of community mobilization; birth attendant skills; and EmONC referral facility improvements. The Country trainers will then support training and related activities in the intervention clusters, predominantly focusing on these three areas. The study population includes pregnant women (and their neonates) living and delivering in the 108 study clusters. The study clusters are largely rural, geographically distinct communities, each of which have approximately 300 annual deliveries. The women will be enrolled at or after 20 weeks gestation and followed to 42 days post delivery. The total duration of the trial will be 24 months.

+ Don't forget to check out the OCTOBER issue of LOIS!
+ TAX PROF Paul Caron brings us some not really surprising news in "TIGTA: 41% Error Rate in $30 Billion First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit Program."
According to the report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration –
"The IRS issued incorrect notices or did not send notices to 61,427 households due to notice programming errors or incorrect information on tax account. ... [O]ur review of the third-party vendor's research results for a statistically valid sample of 97 taxpayer accounts determined that for 40 (41%) of the taxpayer accounts, the information provided to the IRS had incomplete or inaccurate information."
The report indicated that "a total of $29.7 billion in Homebuyer Credit claims were made by more than 4 million individuals as of May 7, 2011". You do the math.
Just another example of why credits like this do not belong in the Tax Code.
+ CCH reports that "2012 Per Diem Rates Issued for Travel Expense Reimbursements".
You can click here to find the current (and past year) rates in the continental United States ("CONUS Rates") by city and state or ZIP code.
+ And the CCH daily headline email newsletter tells us "Senate Republicans Unveil GOP Jobs Plan". The highlight below is mine.
"The GOP bill, which is unlikely to pass the Democratic-controlled Senate, would require a balanced-budget amendment, 25-percent tax rates for businesses and consumers, repatriation of foreign earnings and a repeal of the 3-percent withholding tax on federal contractors. The measure would also repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148), the health care reform law, which Republicans have dubbed "Obamacare," and repeal the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (P.L. 111-203)."
+ The Tax Foundation's tax policy blog has a map of "Percentage of Itemizers by State".
Maryland is home to the most itemizers. Rounding out the top five are Connecticut, New Jersey, Virginia and Massachusetts.
43.9% of NJ taxpayers (and, I expect, some "non-taxpayers") itemize on their Form 1040. Why such a high percentage? Is it because NJ tax preparers are more competent and dig for every deductible expense to which their clients are entitled?
Or is it because the Garden State's real estate taxes, state income taxes, and sales taxes are among the highest in the country, and homes cost much more in NJ resulting in higher mortgage interest deductions, and health insurance is more costly than most other states?
FYI, West Virginia has the least amount of itemizers – only 18.4%.
+ NJ.COM gives NJ employees some good news – "Christie Lowers Payroll Tax".
"Workers in New Jersey will have about $87 a year less deducted from their paychecks for the state's disability insurance pool beginning in January, Gov. Chris Christie announced Monday.
Currently, the state withholds $148 from those earning $29,600 a year or more. Starting on Jan. 1, the state will withhold $61 for those who make more than $30,300."
+ A "tweet" from fellow "twit" David Fazio E.A. provided some good advice –
"If you refinanced your home, business or rental prop mortgage - give your tax pro a copy of your HUD-1 Settlement for potential deductions."

I know how the IRS can fix the 41% error rate - all they need to do is pay $64.95 yearly for a number, pay $90 to take a test and get fingerprinted, yup that should do it.

Thanks for the word! I do love it.
I am glad that the AICPA is worried that the new RTRP initials will help to dispel the "urban tax myth" that CPA = tax expert.

LOWVILLE The third annual Lewis County economic development conference will focus on municipal leaders role in development.
Were really trying to get municipal officials to realize they should be doing things that will improve their businesses and grow their local economy, said Eric J. Virkler, director of the county Department of Economic Development and Planning.
The daylong conference will be Oct. 23 in the new banquet facility at the Ridgeview Inn, 6912 Bardo Road.
If we can get 80 to 100 people to come, it will be a good day, Mr. Virkler said.
This years conference theme, Municipal Leaders and their Role in Economic Development, was suggested by the countys Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy committee in hopes of improving communication between economic development officials and elected or appointed governmental leaders, he said.
Business leaders, agricultural producers, municipal board members and other interested citizens are all encouraged to participate.
The conference is slated to kick off with a presentation from Clayton town Supervisor Justin A. Taylor on Sustaining Our Communities.
Mr. Virkler said the Jefferson County community is seen as being able to accomplish projects, such as the ongoing redevelopment of the former Frink snowplow factory as a luxury hotel, that are improving the area.
Timothy Pezzolesi from the state Department of Agriculture and Markets and Lewis County Industrial Development Agency Executive Director Richard H. Porter then will discuss Value-Added Agriculture, following by a panel discussion on Enhancing Our Fort Drum Connection featuring Development Authority of the North Country Executive Director James W. Wright, Fort Drum Command Sgt. Maj. Mark H. Oldroyd and Franz J. Philippe, a Lowville resident who serves as director of plans, analysis and integration at the Army post.
The final session will be a discussion on Tourism Development by a panel consisting of Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman William G. Farber, Lewis County Recreational Trails Coordinator Jacqueline L. Mahoney and Lewis County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Anne L. Merrill.
The first two economic development conferences were held at the Lowville Elks Lodge, but the venue was changed to the West Lowville restaurant this year to support a private business and help showcase its new addition, Mr. Virkler said.
Registration is slated to begin at 8:45 a.m., with conference sessions running from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and a networking reception featuring Lewis County products set to follow from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
There is no cost for the event, and lunch will be provided.
Anyone interested in attending is asked to call the Lewis County Economic Development and Planning office at 376-5422 or send an email to email@example.com as soon as possible.

Right Wing gun nuts keeping it classy by spitting on and threatening women with rape and death.
Welcome to the dark side of America's war over guns.
Mark Follman

A threatening "Mother's Day" video aimed at women calling for gun reforms: http://youtu.be/jsYb4dw-Kd0
AS JENNIFER LONGDON STEERED her wheelchair through the Indianapolis airport on April 25, she thought the roughest part of her trip was over. Earlier that day she'd participated in an emotional press conference with the new group Everytown for Gun Safety, against the backdrop of the National Rifle Association's annual meeting. A mom, gun owner, and Second Amendment supporter, Longdon was paralyzed in 2004 after being shot in her car by unknown assailants, and has since been a vocal advocate for comprehensive background checks and other gun reforms.
As Longdon sat waiting for her flight, a screen in the concourse showed footage of the press conference. A tall, thin man standing nearby stared at Longdon, then back at the screen. Then he walked up to Longdon and spat in her face. No one else blinked.
Longdon was shocked and embarrassed, she told me, but she didn't falter. "Wow, aren't you a big man," she said as he turned and walked away. Instead of calling for security, she wheeled herself to a restroom to clean herself off. She was tiredshe lives with constant physical painand didnt want to miss her flight.
"Should I have done something more? Quite honestly, in the scheme of things it was a little man and a little moment," she said. "He felt to me like a coward and a bully."
What happened to Longdon in Indianapolis is part of a disturbing pattern. Ever since the Sandy Hook massacre, a small but vocal faction of the gun rights movement has been targeting women who speak up on the issuewhether to propose tighter regulations, educate about the dangers to children, or simply to sell guns with innovative security features. The vicious and often sexually degrading attacks have evolved far beyond online trolling, culminating in severe bullying, harassment, invasion of privacy, and physical aggression. Though vitriol flows from both sides in the gun debate, these menacing tactics have begun to alarm even some entrenched pro-gun conservatives.

FAIRFIELD, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Governor LePage is encouraging employers to prevent domestic violence. And Wednesday, he unveiled a new program to help do it.
The state is offering a free prevention toolkit through the Department of Labor that walks employers through the process of creating a domestic violence prevention policy. A good policy not only makes sure victims of abuse are supported at work and given access to programs that can help them, but also makes sure abusers know that their behavior will not be tolerated by the company, even if it occurs after work hours.
Governor LePage has signed an executive order, requiring all state agencies to develop a domestic violence prevention policy of their own. The governor says he wants abusers who do not take steps to change their behavior to be fired. "If there's anything I do as your governor, this is the one thing that I will continue throughout my administration to fight against," Gov. LePage said.
Businesses can get their free toolkits at the Maine Department of Labor, located at 54 State House Station in Augusta. They also can call 623-7900
And if you are the victim of domestic violence, you can always call the statewide hotline, 1-866-834-HELP.

Hello Fellows,
I am kinda learning Linux. Normally after installing Ubuntu server it is automatically visible by all computers on my home network, but if I install CentOS server it is not visible by the other computers (with Windows) on the network. By the way, they are installed inside of VirtualBox.
How do I make it visible to all computers on the network? They can access it using its IP address, but under their network tab it would not be listed there.
Well, hope I make some sense.
Thank you very much,
Replying to this question I am assuming you can ping your windows boxes from you CentOS box and they are part of the same network. Do you have Samba running or have you configured Samba on your CentOS box? If you are unaware what Samba is LHN has an excellent tutorial on the subject matter. http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w...nux,_and_Samba

Buenos Aires - Argentina
Buenos Aires has everything you expect from a large cosmopolitan city, including fabulous round-the-clock entertainment options.
Art galleries are found scattered throughout the capital. In Recoleta, the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes displays a permanent exhibition of Argentine works. The Centro Cultural Recoleta houses art from all over the world. Modern paintings and sculptures can be found across the street in the Palais de Glace. Towards the north end of the city, the Palermo neighborhood boasts the Museo Nacional de Arte Decorativo, the Museo de Arte Popular José Hernández, and the Museo de Artes Plásticas. Further north, in the charming Belgrano district, there is the Museo de Arte Español. All of these museums and galleries display both permanent and temporary exhibits, in addition to hosting conferences, classes, musical and theatrical performances, and guided tours.
Two streets, Corrientes and Lavalle, have the majority of the city's traditional movie theaters, although there are many U.S.-style theater complexes inside malls and shopping centers like the Alto Palermo Shopping and the Abasto de Buenos Aires. All but children's movies are shown in their original languages with subtitles. Certain venues show uncommon and alternative films, including the Sala Leopoldo Lugones. Check the local newspapers or their Internet movie listings to get the current schedules.
The sultry cadence and moves of the tango can be seen in many of the bars located in the San Telmo district, including El Viejo Almacén, the Bar Sur and Tango Taconeando. For those wishing to learn a few a steps, there are many dance halls spread around the city, such as the La Viruta Tango Bar in Palermo. Downtown there is La Academia Nacional del Tango.
In addition, Buenos Aires has flamenco, folk music, salsa, merengue, samba, rock & roll and hip-hop classes or dance halls spread around the city.
Historic and theme museums abound throughout the city. These include the Museo Histórico Nacional, on the Parque Lezama; and the Museo del Cabildo in front of the presidential palace, which has its own museum, the Museo de la Casa de Gobierno. Other museums of interest include the Museo Etnográfico, the Carlos Gardel Museum, the Museo Judío de Buenos Aires, the Natural Sciences Museum, the Puppet Museum, the Film Museum, the Museo de Cera, and a recent addition, the National Museum of Man. Caminito in La Boca neighborhood is clearly an open-air museum of its own. Lastly, visit the floating Fragata Sarmiento Museum, moored in Dock 3 by the promenade in the chic San Telmo district.
All year round, Buenos Aires tango music thrives at Viejo Almacén, La Ventana, Señor Tango and Tango Taconeando, all in the San Telmo district. Brazilian music prevails at Maluco Beleza on Sarmiento. Government-sponsored open-air shows take place at different plazas throughout the city. The San Martín Cultural Center hosts musical performances, including classical, opera and national music. Rock concerts featuring famous international artists are often held in the River Plate Stadium and the Bombonera and the famous Luna Park. Café Tortoni is famous for its tango and jazz shows held in the café's cellar.
Dozens of theaters can be found throughout Buenos Aires offering a little taste of everything. The Gran Rex hosts top musical shows. The Teatro Cervantes is an architectural masterpiece, while the Teatro Municipal General San Martín is more modern and avant garde in its presentations. Cultural centers include the Centro Ricardo Rojas, the Centro Cultural Recoleta and the Teatro de la Ribera in La Boca. Others of interest include the Teatro Maipo, along with alternative theaters like La Trastienda.
Cafes, Bars & Nightlife
As legendary as Prague's café society, Buenos Aires is a paradise for Bohemian lifestyles. The whole city seems to enjoy the burst of creativity a demitasse of espresso can provide. Here too, coffeehouses have been meeting points for famous poets, politicians and even revolutionaries. Las Violetas is a historic cafe and Café Tortoni has preserved its original style.
In the administrative district, foreigners popularized Happy Hour, especially in the Irish and English pubs around Retiro district. This includes the The Shamrock.
Hot nightlife defines the city, and most establishments stay open until the wee hours. Some of the hotspots include La Trastienda in San Telmo; La Ideal in downtown; Caix and Pizza Banana around the Costanera area. Tango is found in the districts of San Telmo and La Boca, flamenco in Palermo, and salsa throughout the city. As in Spain, people start hitting the dance floors after midnight. Most clubs and bars stay open until daybreak, as do some restaurants and pizzerias.

Fall/winter flavors of ice cream
Posted 11 October 2005 - 02:12 PM
Any good flavor ideas? And to go a step further, any sauces or toppings to pair with them?
Posted 11 October 2005 - 02:16 PM
And there's always the Jone's Soda version of turkey and gravy... ick.
I also think of dates, coconut, pecans/walnuts, and molasses/Steen's syrup as fall/holiday flavors as well. But my grandmother was the queen of holiday candy making in my neck of the woods.
But what the hell's wrong with chocolate? Especially as a first attempt. Now you could take off into chocolate/mint or chocolate/cherry combos as well...

Another fall flavor idea would be persimmon. Use the type that is very soft when it is ripe.
Nut ice craams would be nice as well--butter pecan, toasted almond, rum walnut...

Spumoni is a favorite of mine and it's so pretty.
The pumpkin/butternut squash ice cream is a good idea. You could top it with chopped bits of candied ginger.
Rum raisin (maybe add bits of graham cracker for a crunchy texture?)
Chocolate gingerbread ice cream served with freshly whipped cream.
Then there's amaretto, grand marnier or chambord liqueurs that you could add to either the ice cream or whipped cream.

You could do pear sorbet & I usually give it a nice kick by adding ginger & a tablespoon of wasabi.
Pumpkin ice cream with a maple cranberry compote.

Such nice ideas! Sugarbuzz, would you please post your chestnut honey ice cream recipe? Chestnut honey is one of my favorites. Hmm, I wonder how that would be with a gorgonzola dolce as a sweet/cheese plate.
That does sounds nice as does the Vanilla Malt ice cream. Is the latter made with something like Horlick's malt powder? Willing to sketch it out a bit? Thanks!

Quince sorbet
Concord grape sorbet (actually, I made this last week -- yummy!)
Cranberry sorbet
Vanilla ice cream with chunks of maple/pecan candy
Espresso ice cream
What about a prune-flavored ice cream? That would be sort of rich and delicious for the winter.

This weekend, I tried a buckwheat honey and armagnac custard ice cream, and while the flavor was great, it never really thickened up in the ice cream maker. I'm guessing either the freezer bowl was not cold enough (although I froze it until there were no sloshing sounds, like the directions said), or I added too much liquor. It finally froze in the deep freeze, but it had ice crystals, which I was not happy with. I want to try it again, but I am anxious to try the other flavors, too!
I am thinking about a cinnamon or ginger (both fresh ginger and candied) for this weekend, or maybe pear with a ripple of homemade cranberry jam, or pear with maple and walnuts...the possibilites just go on and on! I also really like spiced plum or sour cherries with rosemary (I make jam with those flavors), but I'm not sure how they would work in ice cream.
I was also considering a marscapone fig custard with a ribbon of ruby port syrup.
What I need is self-control! My husband and I both tend to eat ice cream until it's gone - no saving it in the freezer for a few weeks for us!
Posted 18 November 2005 - 09:31 PM
ANy ideas for flavors that would compliment? I want to try something new, and I've already done armagnac/honey, cinnamon, and pumpkin flavors.

Pear-Bourbon Ice cream with a ribbon of dulce de leche. Oh baby.
Ok, so, how would I make pear ice cream? Would I poach the pears, then puree them and add them to a custard base? What ratio, do you think? Or would I leave the pears in chunks....that seems like they would end up like icy little pockets in the ice cream, though.
I found this recipe on epicurious, maybe I could use this as my base:

Hey, I'm not a pastry chef. I'm good with coming up with the flavor combinations, but the execution I leave up to you and your compadres, the trained professionals. I suspect you'd definitely have to "cook" the pears somehow to make them amenable to getting mixed into an ice cream base. Do you have a recipe for apple ice cream? I'd imagine the prep would be similar.
I confess I'm a bit spoiled because I have Capogiro Gelato here locally, and they recently had a Pear-Bourbon gelato that just slayed me alive. Sooooo good. The Dulce de leche ribbon is my addition to gild the lily. Seems the flavors would work so well together. Dulce de leche would be good with almost anything, no?
The folks at Capogiro really have it down to an art. Maybe they'd tell you the secret formula if you dropped them an e-mail. But it can't be any more complicated than any other orchard fruit ice cream.

How about a pear amaretto ice cream? I would think that would taste good with nearly anything. It also occurred to me that pumpkin chocolate chunk would be good.
Feeling adventurous? Here's an idea. Several years ago, a friend returning from Portugal told me that in that country, avocado is always served sweet, never savory. And she gave me a recipe for a great avocado pudding. Use very ripe avocados, and puree in a food processor. Add a little sugar, a couple of tablespoons of port, and enough milk to create a smooth pudding texture. Done! Serve with 1/4 lime to squirt over the pudding. I have a feeling this would translate nicely to an ice cream, although I suspect the freezing may mute the flavors somewhat, and it's possible some adjustments might have to be made.
Posted 19 November 2005 - 09:24 AM
A favorite flavor of ice cream I've made at home has been pear. I served it ungilded, except for serving it side by side with a pear sorbet, but I think chocolate or caramel would go well with it.

I found this recipe on epicurious, maybe I could use this as my base:
Here is an adaptation from an excellent recipe by Lindsey Shere in Chez Panisse Desserts. (While this isn't a frozen dessert cookbook persay, there are about 100 excellent ice cream and sorbet recipes in here for chocolate, nuts, liqueurs and many fruits. It's one of the first places I turn for ice cream ideas.)
1 1/2 lbs very ripe pears (Comice, Bosx or Bartlett), peeled, cored and sliced
3 Tbs water
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
5/8 cup sugar
4 egg yolks
few drops vanilla extract
Cook slices (and their juices) in the water until they are heated through and release juices. Puree and measure out 1 1/2 cups of the puree. Make a thin custard with half the cream, and all the sugar and egg yolks and strain the custard into the pear mixture. Add remaining cream and carefully flavor with vanilla. I sometimes also add a few drops of lemon juice. I've not tried adding some poire williams in there, but it would probably be very nice.
The pear ice cream add-ins suggested above sound like great flavor combinations but consider trying this "plain" the first time. The glory of it is really in the pure pear taste which really surprises people. The ice cream is rather pale so one doesn't really know what flavor it is until tasting it.
Besides serving it with a pear sorbet as described above, I've also served it alongside a rich, chocolate French gateaux (un-iced). That cake is another reason to buy CP Desserts...

My favorite fall/winter ice creams, gelatos and sorbets have been:
1) kabocha (Japanese pumpkin) ice cream, avoiding any impulse to add pumpkin pie-like spices. Extra simple can be fantastic.
2) Apple and Calvados sorbet.
3) Pear sorbet. I have done this with some cloves, but with good, sweet pears, less is more, and unadorned is fantastic.
4) Satsumaimo or sweet potato, roasted/baked then smashed.
5) Purple sweet potatoes (either Okinawan-style, or a bit more "spicy" with ube.)
6) Chestnut, especially went paired with either apple or pear sorbets.
7) Cranberry sorbet.
Although most cherished in the summer, many citrus fruits actually peak in fall and winter.
My fav's that I have made are Pistachio and Coffee Chocolate. But hazelnut is on my list for my next go. But for the Pistachio and the Hazelnut you would need a good quality paste which my become a bit pricey. Worth it, but pricey.

BGA: The Expendables Update #3
Bent , TheJetsBlog.com
Every year, teams have to let some players go. Even though the Jets brought back Sione Po'uha, Bryan Thomas and Nick Folk, they chose not to bring everyone back. During preseason, I kept track of the progress on the guys who left so we could at least start to form some views on whether letting any of these guys loose was a mistake or a smart move. Now we're into the regular season, let's see how those guys are getting on.
This is the third update of the year and also acts as a primer in case you want to check on the progress of some of these guys yourselves with the Jets not playing today. If you missed the first two updates, go here and here.
After the jump, all of the details from the season so far for each of the ex-Jets contributing elsewhere.
In no particular order…
Jim Leonhard – Safety, Broncos
Leonhard has now settled into his role as the third safety, averaging over 20 snaps per game over the last five. He had his second interception of the year last week – both against the Chargers – and has only given up four catches for 31 yards, while playing in the box about one-third of the time. As a mark of his consistency, his coverage grade from PFF is 11th in the league among safeties, despite the fact he's played less than 25% of the snaps. Although Leonhard took his time to get back up to full speed, with all the defensive breakdowns in recent games and the other safety with experience in this system (Eric Smith) having not played much, I wonder how much the Jets regret not bringing him back. Reminder: He can catch a punt too.
Robert Turner, Center, St. Louis
Turner continues to prove he deserves to be an NFL starter having begun the season starting at left guard and then moving to center when Scott Wells was hurt. According to PFF, he has the 2nd best pass blocking grade for centers, having given up just one hit and two pressures. By way of comparison, Nick Mangold has surrendered two sacks, two hits and four pressures. The Rams as a team have been one of the worst pass protecting teams, though, so that might mean that Turner has been responsible for some of that and it also might mean that there were situations where he was beaten, but someone else had already been beaten for a pressure or sack. Turner also has a positive run blocking grade, but ranks 13th overall entering this weekend.
Wayne Hunter, Offensive Tackle, St. Louis
Hunter has only played five snaps since Week 6 due to a back injury. Prior to that he had been doing an extremely solid job and looked like a totally different player as he filled in for a series of games starting at left tackle. The Jets were lucky to be able to offload him, but not for the reasons we all thought. Had he started the year and then gone down injured, that could have messed up the Jets' chemistry and it would have taken even longer for the line to gel.
Brian Schottenheimer, Offensive Co-ordinator, St. Louis
Schottenheimer's team turned some heads with their tie against the 49ers, a game in which they gained an impressive 458 yards against a top defense. However, they fell back to earth against the Jets last week. The Rams depend heavily on Danny Amendola and whenever he's been injured, the Rams have lacked a viable Plan B. Their offense is still in the bottom 10 in most categories, but it remains ahead of the Jets' offense in many of them.
Matt Mulligan, Tight End, St. Louis
Mulligan continues to rank in the top ten among tight ends for blocking on PFF, although he hasn't caught a pass (or even been targeted) since Week 8. His six catches, 59 yards and one touchdown on the season do represent career highs though. The biggest factor in his play this year is that he has limited the big mistakes with just one drop, one penalty and one sack surrendered.
Braylon Edwards, Wide Receiver, Seattle
Edwards had been dealing with a knee issue, but returned to the lineup to play 23 snaps – most of them in garbage time – against the Jets. However, the only impact he made was to get flagged for an illegal motion penalty. He has just eight catches on the year and only 23 since leaving the Jets after the 2010 season. However, he's off the injury list now, so he will have a chance to make an impact over the last few weeks of the season and earn a shot somewhere next year.
Marquice Cole, DB, New England
Cole was inactive against the Jets after having suffered a recent hamstring injury. However, he played 63 snaps against the Bills in Week 10 and 19 snaps in the blowout last week against the Colts. He did give up two catches for 21 yards in the Colts game, but recorded three tackles – his first of the season. In the Bills game, he gave up just one catch for 12 yards on four targets. His primary role continues to be on special teams, but he isn't a major contributor for New England, especially now they've bolstered their secondary by signing Aqib Talib.
Ropati Pitoitua, DE, Kansas City
Pitoitua is continuing to get plenty of opportunities with the struggling Chiefs. He's started five of the last six games, although he has played less than 50% of the snaps in all but one of them. He's graded out well against the run over the last couple of games, registering six tackles and three stops, but has only pressured the quarterback once since he had two sacks in his breakout game in week four.
Terrance Ganaway, RB, St. Louis
The Rams continue to stash Ganaway on their active roster, but he isn't getting a chance to play. He's been active just three times and other than five garbage time snaps in London against the Patriots last month, hasn't seen any action on offense.
Jamaal Westerman, DE, Arizona
Westerman was waived this week, having seen just two snaps of action and played five games as a special teamer, registering one tackle.
Plaxico Burress, WR, Pittsburgh
Burress was picked up by the injury-ravaged Steelers this week. We will watch with interest whether he has anything left.
Jonathan Grimes, RB, Houston Texans
The Jets dumped Grimes for veteran Kahlil Bell two weeks ago. Since his return to the Texans, Grimes has been active twice, but only played on special teams.
Unless I'm missing someone obvious, I think that's it. Guys like Donald Strickland and Brodney Pool are still free agents. We'll be back with a final update at the end of the season.

You should not post stuff like that ^^^^^^ without posting a warning to us first to avert our eyes. Thanks a lot. How do you "un-see" something???
I really like the paisly design. I would like to see a version of that with the PRS smaller and forum under it probably smaller than the PRS. AND in the same style of lettering as the PRS is now. I don`t like the F hole idea. My PRS does not have one nore do I want one and if you own a PRS with a F hole why add a picture of one on it. Just my take . The diesign is killer and by making the PRS a tad smaller and putting forum under it with the siple letter design keeps thje actual design to the forfront and not too busy with the other stuff. You want the lettering to contrast the design not blend with it. Anyway would be cool to see the same thing but as I mentioned. I believe I would buy a couple then. Someone mentioned about CNC ability. Well this could be lazer etched too.

How about just paisley?
No debate about what it says.
No debate about if it's for righties or lefties.
No debate between birds and moons.
No debate about f hole.
No debate about whether it works with PS or SE.
Too many and never enough...
The Paisley design is definately cool, my favourite so far. If the design can be translated onto an actual TRC it works for me but i'm just wondering if the actual background paisley is strong enough or if it'll be too faint for the machinery that'll do the job?
Just messed around with the design a little to adjust the text and a little mess around with the bird to make it more striking. Feel free to ignore, lol!
I've done a mock up of how the original design may look on a guitar...

my_bool mysql_stmt_bind_param(MYSQL_STMT *stmt,
MYSQL_BIND *bind)
mysql_stmt_bind_param() is used
to bind input data for the parameter markers in the SQL
statement that was passed to
mysql_stmt_prepare(). It uses
MYSQL_BIND structures to supply the data.
bind is the address of an array of
MYSQL_BIND structures. The client library
expects the array to contain one element for each
? parameter marker that is present in the
Suppose that you prepare the following statement:
INSERT INTO mytbl VALUES(?,?,?)
When you bind the parameters, the array of
MYSQL_BIND structures must contain three
elements, and can be declared like this:
MYSQL_BIND bind[3];
Section 23.8.9, "C API Prepared Statement Data Structures",
describes the members of each
element and how they should be set to provide input values.
Zero for success. Nonzero if an error occurred.
The conversion is not supported. Possibly the
buffer_type value is invalid or is not
one of the supported types.
Out of memory.
An unknown error occurred.
See the Example in Section 18.104.22.168, "mysql_stmt_execute()".

The MYSQL_BIND array is only pointed to by the MYSQL_STMT so it must not be changed or freed until the MYSQL_STMT is either not used any more or rebound to a new MYSQL_BIND array.

|[Delete] [Edit]
The length of the BIND structure in v4.1.xx is 55 bytes.
The boundary must be aligned as per:
"... buffers that will store integer types need to be properly aligned, and unless you allocate every single buffer with an own "malloc" you risk getting an alignment error (sigbus)."
I found that adding a single byte variable to the declaration at the end like:
my_bool pad; /* Align boundary */
bringing the total bytes in the structure up to 56, cures the error I was getting:
Error: 2036 (CR_UNSUPPORTED_PARAM_TYPE)
Using unsupported buffer type: 0 (parameter: 2)
Because the variable buffer_type was not being read from the second element of the array in the expected location.
In Ver 5.1, this is not needed.

For the most part, prepared statements are used to call repeated INSERTs or UPDATEs. Seeing as your going to be marshaling a lot of data through these MYSQL_BIND structures, you have to ask yourself one question: should I bind to a new MYSQL_BIND array on each execution, or just bind once and do a lot of memcpy()s into the MYSQL_BIND::buffer member? So the question is really about how fast mysql_stmt_bind_*() calls are.
And since the overwhelming majority of time spent writing to a database is tied up in socket communications, the bottom-line is does mysql_stmt_bind_*() communicate with the server? I asked that question, and could not get a theoretical answer, so I went for an empirical one. The short answer is: "I guess not". And this is how I arrived at it.
I made a bogus project on a Linux machine that connects to a Linux MySQL 5.0.66 server across a TCP/IP LAN. Essentially what I tried to do was rotate sets of data through a MYSQL_BIND, and then repeatedly call only mysql_stmt_bind_param()--no mysql_stmt_execute(). Here's the loop:
bind.length = &length;
for (uint64_t i = 0; i < n; i++) {
const bindtype &__bindtype = _bindtype[i%6];
bind.buffer_type = __bindtype.m_type;
bind.buffer = __bindtype.m_buf;
bind.buffer_length = __bindtype.m_nLength;
length = __bindtype.m_nLength;
mysql_stmt_bind_param(pStmt, &bind);
By choosing a really big n, this loop took 52 seconds to run. When I ran a loop that had all of the above in it, except the mysql_stmt_bind_param(), it took 25 seconds to run. Futhermore, I monitored the network interface, through which ran the connection to the server, and counted 9,501 bytes were transmitted while this benchmark ran. Since n was 10 billion, that means that the most mysql_stmt_bind_param() could have transmitted to the server was 9.501μb per call.
Unfortunately, this doesn't prove that mysql_stmt_bind_param() doesn't access the server, as no benchmark could. However, it does seem safe to indulge in rebinding parameters without fear of creating a bottleneck.

The first comment does not appear to be correct. The comment I am referring to states:
The MYSQL_BIND array is only pointed to by the MYSQL_STMT so it must not be changed or freed until the MYSQL_STMT is either not used any more or rebound to a new MYSQL_BIND array.
This is not true, at least on my Ubuntu system using MySQL 5.0 and 5.1 client libraries. I've created a test program which allocates the MYSQL_BIND array using malloc, then frees it immediately after calling mysql_stmt_bind_param. Running this test with valgrind shows no errors, and it executes correctly. Thus, it is safe to either use a local MYSQL_BIND array, or free it immediately after binding.

One Shotby Lee Child
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror. But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me. And sure enough, from the world he lives in-no phone, no address, no commitments-ex--military investigator Jack Reacher is coming. In Lee Child's astonishing new thriller, Reacher's arrival will change everything-about a case that isn't what it seems, about lives tangled in baffling ways, about a killer who missed one shot-and by doing so give Jack Reacher one shot at the truth....
The gunman worked from a parking structure just thirty yards away-point-blank range for a trained military sniper like James Barr. His victims were in the wrong place at the wrong time. But why does Barr want Reacher at his side? There are good reasons why Reacher is the last person Barr would want to see. But when Reacher hears Barr's own words, he understands. And a slam-dunk case explodes. Soon Reacher is teamed with a young defense lawyer who is working against her D.A. father and dueling with a prosecution team that has an explosive secret of its own. Like most things Reacher has known in life, this case is a complex battlefield. But, as always, in battle, Reacher is at his best.
Moving in the shadows, picking his spots, Reacher gets closer and closer to the unseen enemy who is pulling the strings. And for Reacher, the only way to take him down is to know his ruthlessness and respect his cunning-and then match him shot for shot....
"Nothing is what it seems in the riveting puzzle, as vivid set pieces and rapid-fire dialogue culminate in a slam-bang showdown in the villains' lair. As usual, Child makes the most of Reacher's dry wit, cut-to-the-chase psychology and stubborn taciturnity — in short, this is a vintage double play for author and leading man." Publishers Weekly
"Another taut thriller with plot twists and tension to the very end; fans will be torn between reading slowly to prolong their pleasure or skimming quickly to see how Reacher makes it out alive. Superlative suspense fiction by a master." Library Journal
"Reacher's back...gonzo action...canny plotting, tight prose, swift tempo." Kirkus Reviews
"[R]eading entertainment at its very best. Lee Child can set the hook into the reader faster and deeper than any other writer... I defy you to read the first chapter or two of this book and then set it down. Just not gonna happen." Deadly Pleasures
"In marked contrast to the brooding figures who otherwise dominate contemporary detective stories, Reacher is not one for self-doubt. His is a two-fisted decency. But Mr. Child also gives him amazing powers of deduction, a serious conscience and the occasional touch of tenderness. It's a wildly improbable mixture, one that can't be beat." Janet Maslin, the New York Times
"[W]ithout question Lee Childs' best outing with protagonist Jack Reacher in several years. From the opening sniper sequence to the final surprising disclosures about the bad guys, this one crackles with excitement." St. Petersburg Times
New York Times bestseller Lee Child sends Jack Reacher on his most relentless quest for justice yet. Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror. But within hours, the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me. In Lee Child's astonishing new thriller, Reacher's arrival will change everything...about a case that isn't what it seems, about lives tangled in baffling ways, about a killer who missed one shot — and by doing so gives Jack Reacher one shot at the truth.
This astonishing "New York Times" bestseller takes Jack Reacher on his most relentless quest for justice yet. The case isn't what it seems; lives are tangled in baffling ways; and the killer missed one shot--giving Reacher one shot at the truth.
About the Author

Video: DWI Crackdown Causes DMV Backlog
BUFALO, NY - Nearly 18,000 licensed drivers who already have three or more alcohol-related convictions have been involved in at least one crash that injured or killed someone after those convictions.
With the New York State's crackdown on people convicted of alcohol and drug convictions and currently seeking to have their license reinstated, the DMV will review the person's entire driving record. A license will be permanently revoked if a person has five or more drug or alcohol related driving convictions in lifetime or three or more drug or alcohol related driving convictions and at least one serious driving offense in past 25 years.
Some offenders who have completed driver responsibility courses and paid fines are eligible to drive again, but they are finding the process longer to get their license reinstated. "The process will be a little longer, my guess is that this is a very serious law that has ramped up the consequences of drinking and driving, ramped up the discretion an the power the DMV has, but my guess is the one thing it did not do was increase staff, so most likely it's going to take a whole lot longer," said Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs.

Now that work has begun on the Woolworth Building and the former Mercy Hospital, the crumbling Masonic Temple is the next downtown structure getting attention.
Augusta Withington and Robert J. Campany, who run Fourth Coast Inc., a renewable energy company in Clayton, have not closed the deal to purchase the building at 242 Washington St. yet, but they are making preparations to get it ready when that happens, Ms. Withington said this week.
In June, the two came forward in the 11th hour to put a purchase offer on the vacant structure just as the property was going through the back taxes process and faced city takeover. They are buying it from Henderson artist Garrett L. McCarthy, who purchased it last year through the tax sale process.
Ms. Withington hopes to finalize the acquisition by the middle of next year, or as soon as possible, she said Wednesday.
We want to bring it back to all of its splendor, she said.
The developers intend to rent out the first floor for office space but have no definite plans for the upstairs, where there is a grand meeting room.
Well take our time to find that use, she said.
City Code Enforcement Supervisor Shawn R. McWayne went through the building earlier this week to see what it will take to issue a certificate of occupancy for the 98-year-old downtown landmark. He advised would-be buyers they will have to complete a floor plan and submit a maintenance and repair permit application before work can start.
In recent days, a construction crew has been patching up the leaky roof. Electricity, gas and water soon will be turned on at the building, Ms. Withington said.
Its interior, especially the first floor, where a law firm most recently was housed, is in pretty good shape, with some cosmetic work that has to be done, she said.
The buildings exterior remains the biggest obstacle, she acknowledged. In recent years, chunks of the exterior have fallen off the building to the ground.
A cost for repairing the exterior has not been determined. Loose masonry, however, will be removed or stabilized, Ms. Withington said.
In September, the citys code enforcement office banned the public from entering the building, saying it was unsafe because pieces of the exterior were falling off.
The building faced possible demolition if a buyer had not come forward and the city took ownership because of the unpaid taxes, Mr. McCarthy said in June.
Two years ago, Mr. McCarthy acquired the tax sale certificate from ICA Renovations III LLC, the Marietta investment firm that holds the $17,500 mortgage on the downtown structure.
Mr. McCarthy planned to convert the century-old landmark into an educational and performing arts center.
Ms. Withington said she believes now is time for restoring the Masonic Temple, citing all the development going on downtown.
