New internet service improves greatly GPS reliability Opublikowano w dniu : 26/07/2012, Ostatnia aktualizacja: 09/07/2014
"This third EGNOS service once again proves the European Commission's commitment to delivering improved services to the EU's businesses and citizens. So much of our day-to-day private and business lives are dependent on satellite navigation technology. With EDAS, we have a reliable performance level which can in turn support the creation of new and innovative products and thus help to overcome the current economic crisis." said European Commission Vice-President Antonio Tajani
GPS data can now be obtained via the internet in addition to access via the existing satellite signal. Vice President Antonio Tajani launched today in Brussels the European Data Access Service (EDAS) - a new commercial service of the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS
GPS data can now be obtained via the internet in addition to access via the existing satellite signal. Vice President Antonio Tajani launched today in Brussels the European Data Access Service (EDAS) - a new commercial service of the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) – designed to make satellite navigation in Europe more reliable and thus more effective for use in commercial applications in difficult surroundings. EDAS will support new services in numerous sectors including high-precision fertiliser spraying, automatic road-tolling, fleet management, inland waterway navigation, dangerous goods transportation or accurate area measurement (for examples see MEMO/12/601). Access to GPS data will also be possible via hand-held devices, using wireless communication from added value service providers.
EGNOS increases GPS accuracy and supports applications requiring high precision by correcting errors caused by atmospheric disturbance factors. As it makes GPS data available via the internet, EDAS ensures that users can access EGNOS information even if the EGNOS satellite signal in space is unavailable - perhaps because of signal obstruction in urban areas. EDAS provides the same information as EGNOS, with the addition of extra data, enabling the creation of new and innovative products and services. EDAS provides a reliable service and the European Commission is fully committed to the service on a long-term basis.
The EDAS Service is provided by ESSP (EGNOS Service Provider) under a contract with the European Commission.
EGNOS is the first pan-European satellite-based augmentation system. Similar services are provided in North America by the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) and in Japan by the Multifunctional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS). EGNOS is Europe's first contribution to satellite navigation and is the precursor to Galileo.
The EGNOS system works as follows: 40 ranging and integrity monitoring stations (RIMS) spread across Europe receive signals from US GPS satellites; four mission control centers handle data processing and differential corrections counting; while six navigation land earth stations manage accuracy and reliability data sent to the three satellite transponders, for relay to end-user devices.
EGNOS increases the accuracy of GPS and enables applications requiring higher precision by correcting errors caused by atmospheric disturbance factors. Since October 2009 Europeans have benefitted from the EGNOS Open Service's improved positioning signals (IP/09/1399).Citizens can profit from better personal GPS navigation provided that they use an EGNOS-enabled receiver (as most recent models do).
Since March 2011, air carriers with a certified receiver aboard their aircraft can use EGNOS for en-route navigation and precision approaches, enabling safer landings and more energy-efficient flights (IP/11/247). This "Safety-of-Life" EGNOS Service enables precision landing approaches, making air navigation safer and reduces delays, diversions and cancellations of flights. In addition, EGNOS allows airports to increase their overall capacity and cut operating costs. EGNOS also enables the planning of shorter, more fuel-efficient routes which helps to reduce the CO2 emissions of the aviation industry.

|Cocaine Arrests in Ashe County
|Written by Administrator
|Wednesday, 14 February 2007 11:03
The Ashe County Sheriff's Office has made arrests in two separate
cocaine cases. According to the Jefferson Post, they have sized $4,200
dollars worth of powder and crack cocaine. Officers have arrested
33-year-old Thomas Andrew Carlton of Wilkes County and 25-year-old
Andrea Renee Busbee on charges relating to cocaine possession with
intent to sell, maintaining a dwelling to sell and distribute cocaine
and possession of drug paraphernalia. 30-year-old Claude Blain McCrady
was arrested earlier this year on charges relating to powder cocaine
possession. He has now also been handed charges related to the
possession, distribution and sale of methamphetamine. Of note, many law
enforcement officials believe that methamphetamine can be a gateway
drug to cocaine.

NEWPORT - Fueled by a goal and an assist from freshman Devinnie Davis, the North Country Union High School girls soccer team picked up a 3-2 victory over visiting Mount Mansfield Friday night.
The victory bumps the Falcons' record to 4-0, a solid start after facing Metro League foe Mount Mansfield twice already.
"We're really pleased with our start right now," head coach Jose Batista remarked after the win. "I'd have taken a split with a team like this, so taking two wins from (Mount Mansfield) is icing on the cake."
BARTON - Smashing and crashing his Cadillac Eldorado to his second consecutive championship in the demolition derby at this year's Orleans County Fair, one thing his fellow derby drivers have learned about Tim Hunt of Derby Line throughout the years is never to count him out, even when his car is smashed almost beyond recognition.
In addition to these consecutive first place wins, he has numerous other trophies for his many years as a demo derby warrior.
"I have a total of about 40 trophies, including my first place wins," Hunt said.
LOWELL, VT - This Saturday, Sept. 15, participating motorcyclists will leave from Cajun's snack bar in Lowell at 11 AM for a 60-mile tour of the Lowell, Montgomery area of Northern Vermont. The motorcycle ride-in is to raise funds for two non-profit organizations, Project Cuddle and the Rocking Horse Program, for the betterment of families. Road Captains Dana Lesperance, Rich Lawrence and Benoit Guay will get us safely through our travels.
(Editor's note: Last week, filmmaker and arts impresario Jay Craven began telling his story of the day and night he spent trying to get Chuck Berry to honor his contract and perform in the Northeast Kingdom. He continues his story this week, picking up with his breakthrough, wheedling Berry's home phone number from his agent at the William Morris Agency, who had called the day before the scheduled Lyndonville show to announce that Berry would not attend.)
NEWPORT CITY – The city council granted permission for the Green Mountain Farm to School Program to sell vegetables out of a 31-foot van at the Northeast Kingdom Community Action building. The program received a farmer's market promotion grant through the United States Department of Agriculture to bring more fresh food into the "food desert" of the Northeast Kingdom. Â
NEWPORT–Despite getting twelve shots on net, and a flurry of activity late, North Country's boys soccer team could not quite complete the comeback, falling to the Spaulding Crimson Tide 4-2 on Wednesday evening.
For the Falcons the problem seems to be that of consistency.
They look great for small stretches of time, ten minutes here, five minutes there, but they have been unable to put together the continuous amount of pressure needed to win games in the Metro division.
This lack of on-field continuity has assistant coach Tim Stanley trying to find the solution that best fits his team.
NEWPORT–The Newport Rec. Department hosted the NFL's annual Punt, Pass & Kick competition at Prouty beach earlier this week.
The kids, ages 10-15, tested their skills in the three categories, and the winner gets a chance to move and possibly compete at the regionals in Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots.
Last year Tori Kinney made it all the to the Pat's home where she placed third in New England.
"It was very cool. I have loved the Pats since I was four years old," said Kinney.
Here are the results from the competition:
ORLEANS–Anthony Wright tallied twice, and Lake Region rolled to a 5-2 victory over Lyndon Institute Wednesday night.
The Rangers (3-1) had their biggest outburst of the season, knocking in a trio of goals in the first 15 minutes of play against the now Division I Vikings.
Junior Clint Provoncha (one assist) and senior Shaquille Urie (two assists) each had a goal, while junior Josh Tibault found the net on a helper from Carl Oberg.
"It wasn't the best played match by us," said head coach Tom Evans. "I'm happy, of course, with the result, but not with our caliber of play."
NEWPORT CITY - After a more than three-hour sentencing hearing Wednesday, Judge Howard VanBenthuysen handed Cristopher Smith, 27, a three-five year suspended sentence except for 437 days to serve with credit for time served, on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He has been in jail since Aug. 11, 2011.

A Price couple is dead following an apparent murder/suicide which took place early Sunday morning in southwest Price. Four children who were home at the time of the incident were rescued by police just before their parents' bodies were discovered.
According to Price Police, David Scott Donaldson, 37, called public safety dispatch at 2:28 a.m. on Feb. 10 and reported that he had shot his wife, Shaniel Kaye Donaldson, 32, and intended to shoot himself.
Law enforcement officers including the Carbon County SWAT team converged on the couple's home at 600 West 300 South in Price, unsure of what was happening inside the residence but focused on saving as many lives as possible.
Once on scene, officers worked to safely remove the couple's four minor children who ranged in age from 13 to seven. Other team members tried to contact the husband and wife inside their master bedroom.
"We never made contact with either of the deceased once we reached the residence," said Price Police Capt. Bill Barnes. "Our only information came from the 911 call and that conversation was cut off by Donaldson after his initial statement."
After moving the children to safety, Carbon County SWAT breached the bedroom and discovered the bodies.
"Breaching a situation like this is always difficult because you don't know what is going on inside the home," continued Barnes. "You don't know if someone is still alive and intends to engage an officer. You have to make entry to retrieve possible victims but you also have to be aware of your own safety and the safety of your fellow officers."
According to Price Police, the weapon used in both fatal shootings has been identified as a 12 gauge shotgun. Police reported that the Donaldson's four children were not physically harmed during the altercation and are in the care of family members.
A Price native and long-time resident, Scott Donaldson graduated from Carbon High School in 1993 and had most recently been employed by the State of Utah's Juvenile Justice Services as a Counselor Tech II. His employment with the state terminated in August 2012, according to JJS spokesperson Liz Sollis.
Shaniel Donaldson, whose maiden name was Oliver, also graduated from Carbon High School and later attended the College of Eastern Utah, where she received her Associate's Degree. She obtained her Registered Nurses' certification in 2006 and went on to work for the past seven years as a Home Health and Hospice professional for Community Nursing Services. They were married on May 8, 1999 in Price.

I do want to share my testimony for the prayer request. I was praying for restoration on my marriage and for my husband and I to be better husband and wife, parents and people. Even though it is not perfect and I accept that, I do believe and see God's miracles everyday on me as a better person and wife as well as on my husband, especially him, who had changed to be a better husband and father. My husband had shown willingness and efforts to change and keep our marriage better and together. I am so grateful that God gave me my heart's desire. I know He is always there. I exalt His name and His Son's name Jesus as long as I live. He is wonderfully great, merciful and so wise. I thank you for allowing me to have this opportunity to bring my prayer request even closer to Jesus. I am so grateful and God bless.
- Abigail
God knows all things, but gives us the ability to choose. A major turning point is a Christian's life is when they decide to turn their life's direction over to Jesus. However, it doesn't stop there. Once someone does this, now they have to listen to the directions of the Lord. Yet this voice can be very faint, and there can be many blocks between yourself and the Word. Daily prayer can help significantly in helping you find the right path. Trust in the Lord, and He will provide.
If you need a prayer for guidance and direction, try one of these prayers:
Oh my God, You know my weakness and failings, and that without Your help I can accomplish nothing for the good of souls, my own and others'. Grant me, therefore, the help of Your grace. Grant it according to my particular needs this day. Enable me to see the task You will set before me in the daily routine of my life, and help me work hard at my appointed tasks. Teach me to bear patiently all the trials of suffering or failure that may come to me today. Amen.
If you celebrate Mass, here is a prayer to pray after each one:
Lord Jesus, may everything I do begin with You, continue with Your help, and be done under Your guidance.
May my sharing in the Mass free me from my sins, and make me worthy of Your healing.
May I grow in Your Love and Your service, and become a pleasing offering to You; and with You to Your Father.
May the mystery I celebrate help me to reach eternal life with You.
There are also several Psalms that you can use directly as prayers. The Psalms were written during the time of King David, and many of them are ascribed to him. Psalm 25 is a good example:
To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
O my God, in you I trust;
do not let me be put to shame;
do not let my enemies exult over me.
Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame;
let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all day long.
Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for your goodness' sake, O Lord!
Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way.
All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,
for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.
For your name's sake, O Lord,
pardon my guilt, for it is great.
Who are they that fear the Lord?
He will teach them the way that they should choose.
They will abide in prosperity,
and their children shall possess the land.
The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him,
and he makes his covenant known to them.
My eyes are ever toward the Lord,
for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
Relieve the troubles of my heart,
and bring me out of my distress.
Consider my affliction and my trouble,
and forgive all my sins.
Consider how many are my foes,
and with what violent hatred they hate me.
O guard my life, and deliver me;
do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
May integrity and uprightness preserve me,
for I wait for you.
Redeem Israel, O God,
out of all its troubles.
If you have trouble staying in line with God's commandments, here is another prayer that can keep you straight.
God the King eternal, who divides the day from the darkness, and has turned the shadow of death into the light of morning; I pray that this day you will incline my heart to keep your commandments, driving temptation from my mind. Guide my feet into the way of peace; that having done your will with cheerfulness while it was day, I may, when the night comes, rejoice in giving you thanks for a day lived in your presence; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The most profound prayers are the ones that come from the heart. Tell the Lord that you are lost and need direction. He will hear you and guide your footsteps. Set your prayer in motion by delivering it through Holy Land Prayer. We will take it to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher where we will pray on your behalf that you'll receive the guidance that you need. Be open to what might happen, and let your heart guide you. You may embark on a whole new route for your life!

September Bee Blocks
This first one was made for Elizabeth of Oh, Fransson! fame as part of our {Bee} Imaginative bee. She asked for something in a wonky, improv style that was not a square-in-square block. Can you imagine how intimidating it is to make a block for a quilter as crazy talented as Elizabeth? Well, I tried my best ...
That 9-patch variation on the top left of the block came to me first, and then I decided to embellish it with a graduated border on only two of the sides. I hope Elizabeth likes it!
Over in my other bee, Buzz Cuts, Dorie had a very special request. She decided to request blocks made from children's fabrics from our stash, which she will make into preemie quilts for her local NICU. Doesn't that kind of selflessness and generosity warm your heart?
Here's the block I made -- not exactly children's fabrics, but cute for a baby girl's quilt, no?

Thats gorgeous!!ReplyDelete
Love the bright and bold colors in the first bee block! Wonderful!ReplyDelete
I love the block you made for both! How abou tadding some borders to your last one to make ti the correct size? :)ReplyDelete
Wonderful blocks. Wow, your quilter is amazing also.ReplyDelete
I can only imagine how intimidating it was to make a block for Oh, Fransson; however, yours is chock-full of color and design interest--a real stunner!ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
I love the block for Elizabeth! So fun!!!ReplyDelete
Both of my bees are in the process of wrapping up, so I have a bit of time off until I join up with the 3x6 Mini Bees in January!ReplyDelete
John, I love that block you made for Elizabeth. She will love it! And that maverick star is lovely. Maybe it could be a little table topper? Or the start of a whole new quilt...?
Agreed, your wonky but not a square in a square block is beautiful!ReplyDelete
I've just signed up for my first bee! I am so excited!ReplyDelete
Also, I finished the Hushabye Tula Pink baby quilt...I have to send you some photos :)
WOW! I'm in love with your 1st block, I might have to copy it. ;)ReplyDelete
Well, I don't know what happened to my comment it seemed to disappear into cyberspace. I like both your blocks but especially I like the one you made for Elizabeth Hartman. I'd be thrilled to get a block like that. The colours are great!ReplyDelete
John, both blocks are great, but the first one is fabulous!!! I love seeing your blocks - they are always so inventive!!ReplyDelete
John don't make another block that one is great just add some borders to it to make it the right size. What kid won't love having a star?ReplyDelete
What beautiful blocks! I've yet to be involved in a bee yet. Looking forward to my first one though, whenever that will be. LolReplyDelete
Beautiful! I love that blue orange combo. I would be intimidated making Elizabeth a block too even though she is so darn nice! I was cutting out pieces next to her the other night hoping some of her mojo would rub off on me!ReplyDelete
Both of those blocks look amazingly fresh & fabulous.ReplyDelete
Ho scoperto oggi questo blog, molto carino!ReplyDelete
Un saluto dall'Italia
Ciao Domenica
Both the blocks are gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Blue and orange are two of my favorite colors to go together.ReplyDelete
I just love both blocks. That one you made for Elizabeth is amazing! She will be very happy with that one!!ReplyDelete
great blocks john!! {as usual!} ..i'm so behind in bee blocks it isn't funny!ReplyDelete
The block you made for Elizabeth is insanely fantastic. She will flip!!ReplyDelete
You perform very, very well under pressure. :)
Once when I was free motion quilting at sewing night Elizabeth walked over to see what I was up to and asked if she could take a look. I said something like, "I don't know" and gave her a stern look. She shockingly said something innocuous like, "why" to which I replied, "It's like having Martha Stewart taste your pie". teeheeheeeeeee.ReplyDelete

If you've ever looked curiously up at the night sky, you are not unlike Galileo, who first pointed a telescope at the skies in 1609. Astronomy can satisfy your sense of wonder, and newer technologies make the hobby more welcoming than ever to newcomers. The newest telescopes for beginners can find objects in the sky for you as well as offer a clear view. Some computerized telescopes – often referred to as "go-to" models – use GPS and a motor to move your telescope. Gone are the long hours spent looking at charts trying to find your target, even if you are using a basic telescope for kids. With the best amateur telescopes, you can now spend more time seeing and less time searching for stars.
We recommend choosing a telescope with at least some computerization, if not full go-to capabilities. Go-to models are the best telescope for beginners because they flatten out the learning curve. While many seasoned astronomers argue against go-to technology because it means you are less involved in learning how to find celestial targets, we think a computerized scope can still help you learn the sky at your own pace.
Computerization does come at a cost. While you can spend less than $100 for a telescope aimed at adults, our computerized choices and most of the best home telescopes cost $250 and up. Models costing significantly more generally have a greater array of computerized features, software and accessories. Our favorite telescopes for beginners are the Celestron NexStar 130 SLT, Celestron NexStar 4SE and the Orion Starseeker.
For more information, be sure to take a look at our articles on telescopes for beginners.
The best telescopes for beginners will provide astronomy experiences that will leave you in awe. Our comparison of telescopes for beginners show there is not necessarily a perfect first telescope for everyone. We found the telescopes that will work well for most beginners.
One of the most important features of any telescope is the quality of the optics. Even if a telescope is easy to assemble and use, it needs to provide clear views of the universe. At the beginner level, we expect telescopes to offer lovely views of the moon, planets, sun and some deep-sky objects. We looked for high-quality optics that will provide the best detail of those targets. We also like scopes that have some versatility, offer terrestrial views in addition to celestial and provide some potential for astrophotography.
Tracking & Stability
We prefer go-to features in most cases for beginner telescopes, so we looked at GPS functionality. We also paid attention to each instrument's construction. We looked for sturdy scopes that can best compensate for the Earth's movement and help you keep your target in view.
Ease of Use
The best telescopes for beginners can quickly go from the box to backyard viewing. You should be able to assemble your telescope with few or no tools and it should be small enough to transport with relative ease. In terms of user-friendliness when stargazing, it should reliably point you toward the things you want to see in the sky, and have an extensive objects library.
Help & Support
Your first telescope should come with strong support from a reputable manufacturer. If there are problems as you try to assemble or use your instrument, you will want easy access to those who know how to resolve any issues. Budding astronomers should be able to find expert help online or over the phone.
Choose a beginner telescope wisely and you will enjoy it for years to come. The best telescopes are the ones that get used, not those that end up forgotten in a closet, and having one with strong optics and plenty of user-friendly features will make you want to get the most out of it.

As the weather warms and local athletes and adventurers begin their yearly ritual of preparing for summer fun, officials at the Brain Injury Association of Utah would like to warn everyone of the impact a head injury can have on a person and their friends and family.
Every March is Brain Injury Awareness Month and both state and national organization are working hard to get the word out to smaller communities everywhere. States partner together with other organizations, businesses, schools, survivors and their families to support one another and generate awareness and understanding of brain injuries.
According to a recent media release, this year's focus is dedicated to Sports and Concussions, specifically youth sports.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 1.6 to 3.8 million sports and recreation related concussions occur in the U.S. each year.
"Concussions occur even if an athlete doesn't lose consciousness and in fact, it is the most common type of brain injury sustained in sports," explained the release.
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a blow or jolt to the head. The severity of an injury can range from mild to severe. Signs and symptoms may be noticeable immediately, or it may take days or weeks before they are present.
According to the release, symptoms and recovery vary for each person but awareness and seeking medical attention immediately following an incident are crucial steps in caring for the injured person, a teammate or family member.
Signs and symptoms of concussions include:
â¢Nausea or the feeling one might vomit.
â¢Dizziness or balance problems.
â¢Double or fuzzy vision.

According to Larry Brooks in the NY Post, the Rangers are believed to be offering Michael Del Zotto a two-year contract worth $2.4 million per season. He says that Del Zotto is reportedly seeking a two-year deal worth $3 million per season.
Glen Sather told Brooks that the Rangers have made Del Zotto a "very good and very fair" contract offer. Sather added that he doesn't want Del Zotto to miss the start of training camp and that "sitting out isn't going to help him in any way."
Sather made it known that the ball is in Del Zotto's court, "We want him here. He knows that. We've done what we can. It's up to him."

28 U.S. Code § 1917 - District courts; fee on filing notice of or petition for appeal
Source(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 955.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 552 (Feb. 11, 1925, ch. 204, § 5,43 Stat. 857; Jan. 31, 1928, ch. 14, § 1,45 Stat. 54; Sept. 27, 1944, ch. 414, § 3,58 Stat. 744).

Words "as an additional fee in said suit or action, or proceeding in bankruptcy" were omitted. The entire text of the basic 1944 act shows that Congress intended it to apply to all actions, suits and proceedings, including bankruptcy proceedings, and nowhere else in such act is any reference made to bankruptcy proceedings.

BRISTOL, Conn. – The final game of pool play of the Little League Eastern Regionals may very well prove a harbinger of things to come.
Yes, the Cumberland Major Divisions All-Stars and the George J. Hummel Little League from Seymour, Conn. still have to get through its respective quarterfinal-round clashes before meeting with a spot in the regional championship hanging in the balance.
After the performance these same two teams staged Wednesday night at Breen Field on the Bart Giamatti Complex, it's certainly within the realm of possibility that a rematch could be in the fold come Friday.
In a matchup on undefeated clubs, Cumberland took advantage of four errors by George J. Hummel to score a 3-0 victory. Cumberland was actually outhit, 5-3, but managed to do enough damage to finish pool play with a sterling 4-0 mark.
Cumberland's prize for going 4-for-4 in the round-robin portion is the No. 1 overall seed in the New England division. Based on the standings, Cumberland is scheduled to face the No. 4 seed from the Mid-Atlantic division, Sharpsburg, Md., tonight at 8 o'clock.
Now the No. 2 seed after falling to 3-1, Connecticut will face the Mid-Atlantic's No. 3 seed, Staten Island, N.Y. today at 2 p.m.
Should Cumberland pass its test on Thursday, it would play at 2 p.m. on Friday. Cumberland could possibly face Connecticut for a chance to play in the tournament's finale, set for 7 p.m. Friday.
Cumberland jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning as Alexandra Pina reached on an error that enabled Abigail Goncalves to score. Goncalves led off the game with a single.
Dayna Jackvony drove in a run to highlight Cumberland's two-run uprising in the fourth inning.
Three Cumberland pitchers – Pina, Jackvony and Mackenzie Vallely – teamed up for the shutout. Pina struck out three batters in her two hitless innings of work.

A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Tableby Molly Wizenberg
Staff Pick
A Homemade Life combines my favorite elements: memoir, travel writing, food writing, recipes, a beautiful love story, and quirky family anecdotes, along with all the things that make the Orangette blog one of my online obsessions. Molly Wizenberg weaves together personal stories with innovative recipes that will change the way you look at dinner. She has an inspiring reverence for fresh ingredients, and the simplicity of many of the recipes makes them accessible. The Winning Hearts and Minds chocolate wedding cake is heavenly and incredibly worth taking the time to bake; it quickly became my best dinner-party trick.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
When Molly Wizenberg's father died of cancer, everyone told her to go easy on herself, to hold off on making any major decisions for a while. But when she tried going back to her apartment in Seattle and returning to graduate school, she knew it wasn't possible to resume life as though nothing had happened. So she went to Paris, a city that held vivid memories of a childhood trip with her father, of early morning walks on the cobbled streets of the Latin Quarter and the taste of her first pain au chocolat. She was supposed to be doing research for her dissertation, but more often, she found herself peering through the windows of chocolate shops, trekking across town to try a new patisserie, or tasting cheeses at outdoor markets, until one evening when she sat in the Luxembourg Gardens reading cookbooks until it was too dark to see, she realized that her heart was not in her studies but in the kitchen.
At first, it wasn't clear where this epiphany might lead. Like her long letters home describing the details of every meal and market, Molly's blog Orangette started out merely as a pleasant pastime. But it wasn't long before her writing and recipes developed an international following. Every week, devoted readers logged on to find out what Molly was cooking, eating, reading, and thinking, and it seemed she had finally found her passion. But the story wasn't over: one reader in particular, a curly-haired, food-loving composer from New York, found himself enchanted by the redhead in Seattle, and their email correspondence blossomed into a long-distance romance.
In A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table, Molly Wizenberg recounts a life with the kitchen at its center. From her mother's pound cake, a staple of summer picnics during her childhood in Oklahoma, to the eggs she cooked for her father during the weeks before his death, food and memories are intimately entwined. You won't be able to decide whether to curl up and sink into the story or to head straight to the market to fill your basket with ingredients for Cider-Glazed Salmon and Pistachio Cake with Honeyed Apricots.
"Wizenberg's debut shares the same basic format as her Orangette blog — favorite recipes interspersed with personal reflection — but constructed around a much tighter family narrative. Memories of her father, for example, begin with his cherished formula for potato salad and an attempt to recreate his French toast, but also include a variation on scrambled eggs that spurred a comforting moment as he was dying of cancer. The second half of the memoir focuses on her blossoming relationship with Brandon, who started out as a fan of the blog, became a long-distance boyfriend and eventually moved to Seattle and married her — of course, she shares the recipes for the pickled carrots they served at the wedding as well as the chocolate cake she baked for dessert. Though there is an emphasis on desserts, the recipes cover a variety of meals, none beyond the range of an ordinary cook, and Wizenberg's directions are laced with a charming voice that strikes a neat balance with the reflective passages. Her strong personality stands out among her generation's culinary voices." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"These recipes run the gamut from a favorite childhood dessert called Hoosier Pie through soups and meatballs to some unique tiny pastries based on canned tuna. Fans of the authors popular blog will be particularly attracted to this autobiography." Booklist
Realizing that her heart was not in her studies but in the kitchen, Wizenberg started writing about cooking, eating, reading, and thinking--and it seemed she had finally found her passion. Here, Wizenberg recounts a life with the kitchen at its center.
Both sweet and savory recipes from the founder of the beloved Magnolia Bakery
An elegant memoir with recipes by acclaimed food writer Molly Wizenberg.
Both sweet and savory recipes from the founder of the beloved Magnolia Bakery
Since its opening in 1996, Magnolia Bakery's fan base and popularity have only grown over the years, transforming it from a beloved destination into a New York City landmark. This favorite bakery has not only expanded to four more locations in the city but has also opened up stores in Chicago, Los Angeles, the Middle East, and Tokyo. At Home with Magnolia, now in paperback for the first time, is the only cookbook from the bakery's founder Allysa Torey to include savory dishes. The amazing recipes range from Pumpkin Ravioli with Corn, Hazelnuts, and Asiago to Strawberry Icebox Pie and are presented alongside stunning photos of the author's beautiful, vintage home in upstate New York. And, of course, the book wouldn't be complete without a sampling of Torey's famous cupcake recipes as well.

She is a regular contributor to Bon Appetite, and her writing has been featured on NPR.org and PBS.org and has been praised in The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, and The Seattle Times. Wizenberg has degrees in human biology, French, and cultural anthropology, but in 2005, she left the world of academia to write full-time.

OGDENSBURG When the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Centers greenhouse program was eliminated more than 11 years ago, it left a hole for those who had spent hours working to make the program a success.
But that is about to change.
Ogdensburgs Step-By-Step Inc. is working to re-establish a greenhouse program to engage clients in a therapeutic activity that also will give them job skills. The organizations mission is to support the communitys mentally ill by helping them gain employment, safe housing and social skills to become self-sufficient.
Executive Director David A. Bayne said last week that the agency has built the frame of its first greenhouse and hopes to begin planting this winter.
For the past two years we have had a plot in the Ogdensburg Community Garden, and folks really seemed to enjoy that, he said. Theres something about putting seeds in the ground, watching it grow, harvesting and then eating what you grow. Theres a therapeutic value to it.
The first round of growing will be a test run, Mr. Bayne said. Staff will grow hardy vegetables that can withstand cold weather, including lettuce, kale, beets and carrots.
Were hoping we can find a crop that we can grow and produce nine to 10 months out of the year, he said. Were trying to test and grow some things and find out which conditions they grow best in.
The group is hoping to begin planting officially in the spring with the help of Step-by-Step members and volunteers from the community.
Next summer, Mr. Bayne said, will be when growers can reap the rewards of what they sow.
We want to grow, pick and then come back and teach members how to make the meals from their vegetables, such as a salad, or learn how to stew tomatoes, Mr. Bayne said. Were hoping the community will come out as well.
But one of the biggest hurdles to establishing the program is not the planting or construction, but gathering funding.
The 20-foot-wide by 96-foot-long greenhouse has a frame and covering, but still needs heating and ventilation systems.
The greenhouse has water and power, and there are still additional costs to make those systems operational.
We have had quite a bit of community support and help, but were at a standstill now, Mr. Bayne said. We need a few more things to get this project going.
As part of a second phase, the group would like to build another greenhouse.
Right now we are using raised beds and boxes, Mr. Bayne said. We would like to have a second greenhouse where we can actually plant in the ground.
The first few years will be a lot of experimenting and establishing a market, Mr. Bayne said. Then we hope to move to self-sufficiency. It would be nice to hope for that. But our main goal is to never lose the vocational and therapeutic value.
n Step-By-Step is a certified nonprofit organization, and donations are tax-deductible. Executive Director David A. Bayne said any and all donations are welcome, even if someone wants to volunteer his or her time to help in any capacity.
n Donations can be mailed to 103 Ford St., Suite 2 A-B, Ogdensburg, N.Y. 13669.
n For more information about the greenhouse project, call Mr. Bayne at 394-0597.

One little slip and any standard knife will be lost to the murky depths. But the Norwegian artisans at the 80-year-old Helle Knifeworks have the answer: a precision-crafted knife equipped with a cork handle that's both buoyant and beautiful. Nearly 60 independent hand operations go into each knife's construction – from forging the razor-edged, flexible stainless blade to notching the cork handle for a sure, comfortable grip. Embossed leather sheath is custom sewn for a secure fit.

Comments about Fishing Knife - Hellefisk Floating Knife:
This knife is a delight to hold. Cork handle is one of the most comfortable ever. Excellent craftsmanship. Sheath is also excellent. I expect years of good service and value. So beautiful when new it is almost a collectible. I say almost collectible as I bought for fishing and over water use. It floats! Only con:Lightweight design not suited a a "prying device" but I did not buy for that.

CANTON An Ogdensburg man who had repeated sexual contact with a young girl over several years was classified as a Level 2 sexually violent offender during a hearing Tuesday afternoon in St. Lawrence County Court.
Edward J. Woods Jr., 42, was convicted in October of second-degree attempted course of sexual conduct against a child, a Class E felony. The abuse began when the child was 7, in fall 2003, and continued until 2005.
His rating actually fell under Level 1, or low risk, according to the risk assessment evaluation used by the states Sex Offender Registry Act. Judge Jerome J. Richards agreed to a prosecution request to classify him under the more serious Level 2, or medium-risk category.
The fact is, he caused this victim debilitating mental illness, and had not fully taken responsibility for his actions, Judge Richards said.
Woods was sentenced in October to 180 days in the jail and 10 years probation. He also was ordered to pay $1,425 in fees and surcharges, including $1,000 for a supplemental sexual offender victims fee.

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
The precautionary principle
The precautionary principle enables rapid response in the face of a possible danger to human, animal or plant health, or to protect the environment. In particular, where scientific data do not permit a complete evaluation of the risk, recourse to this principle may, for example, be used to stop distribution or order withdrawal from the market of products likely to be hazardous.
Communication from the Commission of 2 February 2000 on the precautionary principle [COM(2000) 1 final - Not published in the Official Journal].
The precautionary principle is detailed in Article 191 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (EU). It aims at ensuring a higher level of environmental protection through preventative decision-taking in the case of risk. However, in practice, the scope of this principle is far wider and also covers consumer policy, European legislation concerning food and human, animal and plant health.
This Communication establishes common guidelines on the application of the precautionary principle.
The definition of the principle shall also have a positive impact at international level, so as to ensure an appropriate level of environmental and health protection in international negotiations. It has been recognised by various international agreements, notably in the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement (SPS) concluded in the framework of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
Recourse to the precautionary principle
According to the Commission the precautionary principle may be invoked when a phenomenon, product or process may have a dangerous effect, identified by a scientific and objective evaluation, if this evaluation does not allow the risk to be determined with sufficient certainty.
Recourse to the principle belongs in the general framework of risk analysis (which, besides risk evaluation, includes risk management and risk communication), and more particularly in the context of risk management which corresponds to the decision-making phase.
The Commission stresses that the precautionary principle may only be invoked in the event of a potential risk and that it can never justify arbitrary decisions.
The precautionary principle may only be invoked when the three preliminary conditions are met:
- identification of potentially adverse effects;
- evaluation of the scientific data available;
- the extent of scientific uncertainty.
Precautionary measures
The authorities responsible for risk management may decide to act or not to act, depending on the level of risk. If the risk is high, several categories of measures can be adopted. This may involve proportionate legal acts, financing of research programmes, public information measures, etc.
Common guidelines
The precautionary principle shall be informed by three specific principles:
- the fullest possible scientific evaluation, the determination, as far as possible, of the degree of scientific uncertainty;
- a risk evaluation and an evaluation of the potential consequences of inaction;
- the participation of all interested parties in the study of precautionary measures, once the results of the scientific evaluation and/or the risk evaluation are available.
In addition, the general principles of risk management remain applicable when the precautionary principle is invoked. These are the following five principles:
- proportionality between the measures taken and the chosen level of protection;
- non-discrimination in application of the measures;
- consistency of the measures with similar measures already taken in similar situations or using similar approaches;
- examination of the benefits and costs of action or lack of action;
- review of the measures in the light of scientific developments.
The burden of proof
In most cases, European consumers and the associations which represent them must demonstrate the danger associated with a procedure or a product placed on the market, except for medicines, pesticides and food additives.
However, in the case of an action being taken under the precautionary principle, the producer, manufacturer or importer may be required to prove the absence of danger. This possibility shall be examined on a case-by-case basis. It cannot be extended generally to all products and procedures placed on the market.

- Hand wash in cold water is recommended. If using a machine, select a cold water setting for delicates.
- Use a mild detergent - strong detergents can accelerate the degeneration of elastane
- Do not bleach
- Do not iron
- Do not tumble dry
- Do not dry in direct sunlight.
- Uses PWX fabric technology / 250 Denier enhanced compression and durability
- Increased elastane yarn placement – zoned to provide greater power, durability, comfort & support to calf, shin and ankle regions
- Padding (low profile) added to foot bed and shin for add protection and comfort
- Flexible tongue zone – minimal fabric at top of ankle for a flexible pain less junction with boot tongue to eliminate pressure point
- Graduated fit design to promote circulation (venous return) for improved oxygenation of muscles and reduces fatigue
- Linked toe cage for improved fit and comfort
- Breathable, extreme moisture management & antibacterial
How should my 2XU Compression garments fit?
Your 2XU Compression garment should fit the body snugly and firmly without uncomfortably 'cutting in' to the body. If this is the case, you should review your size choice.
For specific sizing, please refer to our Size Chart, taking into consideration that if you're near the borderline for sizes or you wish to wear your compression garment primarily for recovery purposes, be sure to choose the smaller size where possible.
NOTE: When considering your appropriate size for compression socks please size as per your calf girth.
Sizes shown are offered as a recommendation should you not know your calf girth or require additional information.
PWX technology utilises 2 unique fabrics; PWX Compression and 105D/K. Each fabric contains the following product enhancing features:
Superior grade circular knit for 360º stretch + unsurpassed power
Highest grade elastane yarns with invista lycra®
Antibacterial + moisture wicking
UPF 50+ sun protection
Flat Lock stitching for maximum comfort.

Seen Tim Berry several times and just don't get your fascination with him. I know again it projectable, but he's going to need to add a lot to that 14 year olds frame he carries now.

The communist Chinese regime was, at the very least, plotting to covertly arm Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in violation of United Nations sanctions as recently as late July, documents discovered in Tripoli suggest. And despite official denials, analysts and rebel leaders said Beijing had actually delivered some of the weapons stockpiles.
The Libyan memos, found and published by the Canadian Globe and Mail earlier this month, describe a meeting between Gaddafi "security" officials and the Chinese dictatorship's state-controlled arms manufacturers. Three "companies" offered their entire inventory to the Libyan despot and even promised to manufacture more if needed.
The $200 million in heavy weaponry included anti-tank missiles and surface-to-air rockets capable of bringing down airplanes. To sidestep the arms embargo against Gaddafi, the shipments were supposed to be routed through third-party nations.

|Gas Prices Rise With Rise in Libya Conflict
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 29 March 2011 06:20
Gas prices back on the rise after a week off. Our BP Barometer shows gas is at $3.56.9 across the street, while we saw other prices at a tenth of a cent under $3.60 at a number of stations across the High Country.
Remarkably, gas prices decreased as the fighting in Libya escalated last week, but now nervousness over the now-fly zone action is apparently being reflected in local gas prices.

Clipper Rush
Posted by mike on Mon, 05/22/06, 04:51pm:
As we continue to wait, I went to Big 5 sports yesterday to pick up some new baseballs. When I walked past their usual weekly shoe sale, I noticed something strange. Amid the white K-Swiss & Vision Street Wear basketball shoes, I noticed a pile of "#8" shoes in white with purple & gold trim. There must have been 30 pairs. I picked one up (using a pair of camping tongs), & noticed that they were originally $129.00 - then $89.99 - 49.00 - 29.00 - finally, 19.99. Now I'm not saying anything about that other team here, but it did put a smile on this face when I asked where the Clipper hats were. "Sold out man." Yep... completely sold out of clippers anything.
Now, I might have built the ClipperBlog.com website with Kevin & John, but this is my first post. I feel compelled to share that I've never been so excited for a game... Even with conspiracy theories & all. Tonight is epic... Either way I see it like this:
1. The beginning of a new Los Angeles Basketball dynasty. One based on teamwork & a whole lot of heart.
2. The beginning of a new Los Angeles Basketball dynasty. One based on teamwork & a whole lot of heart.
I like those odds.
See you here after the game.
Gotta love this new dawn.
BTW - I found this image on an old colleague's site - "BuzzNet ". I just had to post it. Thanks Marc Brown for creating the best photo blog site out there.
