A special run with a beautiful ash body, noiseless pickups and zero 60-cycle hum.
The Fender Standard Telecaster FSR Ash Electric Guitar combines the best of the old and new. Fender equips this Tele with vintage noiseless single-coil pickups, shielded body cavities, medium jumbo frets, cast/sealed machine heads and a 6-saddle string-thru-body bridge. The vintage noiseless Telecaster pickups offer sound like a '60s Tele's without the 60-cycle buzz. They're made with the same Fender technology as the noiseless Strat pickups, but are voiced for traditional Telecaster tone. Special Alnico 5 magnets and enamel coated magnet wire along with Fender's Noiseless technology produce a uniquely quiet vintage sound.
The Fender Tele's neck pickup has a nickel-silver cover for added clarity, while the bridge pickup produces the traditional twang you'd expect from a Fender Standard Telecaster. Each guitar pickup sports a very stylish Fender Noiseless logo. New features on this classically cool Telecaster guitar include a tinted neck and a '70s-style logo. Fender includes a standard gig bag with the FSR Ash Telecaster. Since its introduction in the early '50s, professionals in all musical genres have relied on the Fender Telecaster for its powerful tone and smooth playability. Why not join them?

This Fender Telecaster is my new baby. I put it to bed at night, and can't wait to see it again in the morning.
I can play it for hours and hours, without any discomfort, as the neck is so perfect. It bites like a Tele, and sings like an Angel.
The noisless pickups are great! I have dual humbuckers in my Ibanez Hollow Body, and the contrast is exactly what I was looking for. It's near on impossible to get it to feed back, which for some is a negative.
I have read reviews that these Teles are coming in heavy! Not this one. It weighs 1kg less than my mates Twin Humbucker Tele, and exactly the same as my Ibanez Hollow body, with a bigsby.
It's lightness has not affected it's potential for sustain, and it sings out forever. Truly amazing.
Great value, great quality, great looks in a classic design.
I love this guitar so much, I feel like I'm cheating on my wife!
OK, you would have read the product description, or got all the specs from previous posts, so I'm not going to prattle on here with mindless stats.
At the end of the day, it's a TELE, it's got Fender Noiseless Pickups (designed by the Fender custom shop I believe), an upgraded jack,you know, the one that clicks in...so it doesn't drop out, a modern 6 saddle bridge (nice quality, better than the Mexi Standard), it's not an ashtray style, if you were hoping for that 52 re-issue mojo, an Ash body, standard switching, and a Maple Neck, with jumbo frets, not medium jumbo, or super jumbo or whatever they call those massive strips of steel. Mmmmmm. Nice. Oh, and a delicious Butterscotch Blonde finish.
Ok, from the start, I was a little worried, as I bought used. It's a budget thing. I had been looking for a Tele for over 2 years. The ones I liked, I couldn't afford, and the ones I could afford, played like garbage. I played a friends Mexi, and loved the maple neck, then this baby popped up, and it was time to leap, and I'm glad I did.
The finish on this guitar is flawless. Absoluteley perfect. The pickups have so much bite, yet are as quiet as a mouse, and the feel of the neck and the fretwork is perfect. Setup out of the box was brilliant, but it was "Used" so somebody had set it up already. Whoever that was, good job, and thankyou!
I can't fault this guitar. If anything, there is a "Blemish" in the grain of the timber, that shows through the blonde finish, but it is a characteristic of the wood, not a fault. And I kind of like a bit of character.
For me, here in Australia, the options for Fender guitars are a bit limited.
I picked this baby up for an amazing bargain.
The Quality of the guitar is absoluteley stunning. Even at twice the price, I would feel satisfied.
I took it to a recording session last week. The sound engineer had a vintage 72 Teleacsrter. He played this one. Couldn't believe the look, the feel and the harmonics, and ordered one right there and then. He was amazed at the quality and value. Say no more!

The guitar sound nice. Its not twangy by any means. More like the Madcat guitar Prince plays. Its got a good weight, 7.4lbs. I would recommend the guitar but only if you play it first and have the option of picking the best one out of the bunch. With the particular one I got I am not happy as its got factory faults and should have cost somebody at MF/Mexico the Job.
A classic guitar. What you see is what you get. I would have been nice to have more space between the pickup selector and the volume knob. I cant even fit my pinky. I has only one string guide so the 3rd and 4th strings are high up even with a good bit of winding, so they resonate very loud behind the nut. Come one Fender staggered tuners, they cant be that expensive as you will be using less metal.
The body is nice. You can see the wood grain through the plastic finish. The neck pocket is not very tight. I am not very happy with the neck as its very thin for a tele. The nut width is 42 mm but the actual feel of the neck is still thin. The frets are sticking out of the top and bottom of the neck. I cant file them as ill strip the finish. My noiseless pickups are noisy until you touch a metal part of the guitar, then they "become noiseless". So the guitar has grounding issues, I have to bring it to an electrician.
The tele I got has factory faults. I got it over the internet so the joke is on me.

I've been a Les Paul guy for over 20 years and this one Tele converted me. Super fast neck, awesome clean tone, this guitar has it all. The typical Tele twang and the warm rhythm tones this guitar produces is just as great as the more expensive American Standard model. I love this guitar!

Comments about Fender Standard Telecaster FSR Ash Electric Guitar with Vintage Noiseless Pickups:
A local Pittsburgh luthier who is very good and very picky could not find anything bad to say about this guitar. It did take him an hour to do a complete setup. A majority of that time was required to file out the nut that was only big enough to accommodate lite strings. He says this must be done with nearly all of these guitars or the larger strings will crack the nut when tuned. He also added fatter strings and adjusted the action, did a truss rod adjustment and set the intonation.
Once all of that was accomplished he said this is a guitar that any artist love to own and play.

Comments about Fender Standard Telecaster FSR Ash Electric Guitar with Vintage Noiseless Pickups:
Have only owned this gem for about a month but I was really impressed by it from the get-go. All frets were dressed and leveled perfectly which was a great way to start. Out of the box, the Tele needed a complete setup. First though I spent a lot of time looking the Tele over especially good for workmanship flaws. Happy to say that everything was perfect in every way. It has the feel of a great solid guitar. It set up quickly and easily with everything holding, this vouches for how well this Fender FSR Ash (MIM) was made and put together. The Alnico Vs sound a little fuller over the IIIs but you still get the Tele snap. I really wanted the FSR Butterscotch Blonde Ash but that model was out of stock. Luckily Musicians Friend had the sister model FSR White Blonde with Noiseless Vintage pickups in stock and I bought that one. Beautiful guitar !
This is the 2nd Fender MIM that I've bought lately from Musicians Friend, both are really solid guitars and players…. both perfect. The other was a Fender Deluxe Lonestar Strat MIM and I recommend either or both. Thanks Musicians Friend and Fender.

Comments about Fender Standard Telecaster FSR Ash Electric Guitar with Vintage Noiseless Pickups:
I had an Epiphone Les Paul, which I named Maggie, which I absolutely love to death. However, I just wanted to add another guitar to my inventory so that I didn't always have that heavy humbucker tone all the time.
I had my eye on a butterscotch blonde Telecaster, but just couldn't pull the trigger on the butterscotch blonde with vintage noiseless pups at that price right now and was actually leaning towards a cheaper model. Then the white blonde with Vintage Noiseless pickups went on sale for under five hundred and I couldn't pass it up despite not being the color I preferred.
Got the guitar home and realized I really love the white blonde actually. The white blonde with the green-ish pickguard is really vintage looking, and really lends itself to the old-school look I was going for.
The guitar wasn't perfect out of the box. It needed a good setup, and if you look closely you could see little blemishes in the paint in spots, which luckily aren't big enough to see unless you're specifically looking for them. I also don't care if it's perfect since it's gonna get used and worn anyway.
I really like the pickups. The vintage noiseless sound great to me, plenty powerful in my opinion, although I haven't tried it out at big venues or anything. They seem to be doing their job because I hear no unwanted noise through them at all. The neck isn't all that powerful, but has a beautiful tone, and the bridge pickup is fantastic, perfect for what I was looking for. I might swap out the neck for a Jim Weider Big T eventually so it matches up with the bridge a bit better.
I'm coming from a Les Paul with a 12" neck, so the neck has taken some getting used to since it's a bit smaller, but I love it. I love the maple too, it plays beautifully.
If this guitar was the regular price, I probably would've saved up and sprung for the butterscotch blonde I really wanted. However, if the white blonde goes on sale for under five hundred like I paid, pull the trigger. For that price, it's a FANTASTIC buy and you'll be very happy.

Comments about Fender Standard Telecaster FSR Ash Electric Guitar with Vintage Noiseless Pickups:
The Fender Standard Ash Tele with Vintage Noiseless Pickups is a wonderful guitar. I ordered it in white blonde one week ago while it was on sale and it was delivered six days later. The white blonde finish is absolutely gorgeous and the mint green pickguard makes for a great color combination that you don't normally see. The fretboard is also polished and that adds a nice classy touch to it. Personally, I think Fender guitars with a polished maple fretboard also feel nicer when you play them. This particular model does not have a polished neck though, just for the record--only the fretboard is polished.
The Vintage Noiseless Pickups are also wonderful. On the neck pickup, you can get those great blues tones. On the bridge pickup, you can get that great country twang. You can also get some great rock tones out of this guitar and you can obviously play through both pickups at once. When you plug into a distortion pedal, you can get as heavy as you want and--thanks to those Vintage Noiseless Pickups--you won't hear any 60-cycle hum.
The only problem I have is that the D string on mine buzzes. In order to take care of it, the guitar will require a setup. Aside from that, this guitar is perfect.
If you play blues, country, rock or basically anything, this Tele is certainly worth checking out. It's well-built and it's one of the best-looking guitars I've ever seen.

I'd been eyeing a Tele for a long time, so I pounced when this one was on special, and I have not been one bit disappointed. Gorgeous finish, really fun to play, sound is bright, full and smooth. I also own a Takamine acoustic, a fender strat (mexican), and a Schecter C-1, and this is by far my favorite to play. I found the setup comfortable right out of the box. I don't know if you'd feel the same if you're used to higher-end equipment, but it's been great for me.

At this point, after yesterday's win over the Yankees in a tough game played in New York, the Orioles could avoid the 100 loss mark at this point with an 11-13 record for the rest of the season.
Even with the extremely rough schedule, that number is extremely surprising to hear. Two months ago (or more, for some), most people would have called me crazy for thinking the O's could finish with less than 100 losses. Though with Trembley or Samuel that didn't seem possible, Buck has shown to us that so far, we can mildly compete with the best at this point. Though a lot of work still needs to put in this off season, I think the O's could do it. We have won 3 of the last 4 (against the Yankees/Rays, even), and are on pace with Buck to continue the winning trend.
Remember, we also have 7 games against the Tigers this month, so it's not ALL AL East.
Key Question: Can the O's finish with less than 100 losses, therefore going 11-13 or better in September/October?

Do You Really Need a Website Designer to Create a Website?
Are you confused about how to create an effective & affordable website for your small business?
Have you been searching for a small business website designer who understands that their job is not just to create a website, but to help you make money?
Would you like to build your own website… one that actually contributes to the bottom line of your small business?
Are you tired of listening to website designers and web hosting providers babble on about HTML, JavaScript, PERL, CGI and other techno mumbo jumbo?
Hey, you just want to make a business website that delivers PROFITS, right?
Whether your business is located in Scarborough or Richmond Hill, Brampton or Akron, Denver or Dubbo…you need to create a website that gets results!
My name is Steve Pronger and for over 15 years I've been helping small business owners and Internet entrepreneurs worldwide achieve online success. People just like you!
Create Your Own Small Business Website
And here's the thing… you don't actually need a website designer. That's right, you CAN do this yourself! With the tools and resources on Web Business Solutions I will show you how to create a business website that will add value to your business. Not just a web presence, but a complete online marketing solution. You will learn how to:
- research the market you are about to enter
- find keywords that thousands of people worldwide use to find your products or services
- create a website that ranks highly in the search engines and delivers thousands of targeted visitors to your site
- use affiliate marketing to build your own profitable web business, even if you don't have your own products or services to sell
- promote your site online and offline
Start Your Own Online Business
Thinking of starting your own online business but don't know where to start? Perhaps you have your own products or services to sell. Or perhaps not. Did you know a website can make money without ever selling a thing?
Either way, I can show you how thousands of people around the world build profitable online businesses. It's not easy. It's not GRQ (Get Rich Quick). It doesn't involve schemes, scams, "recruiting" or "downlines". But it does involve passion (yours) and a willingness to learn, work hard and succeed.
How to Make a Business Website
While there are many great website designers and web design companies out there…and some not so great…almost all of them are focused on building you a great looking, perfectly functioning, standards compliant website…NOT helping you build an online business!
They forget about search engine visibility, traffic and converting visitors to customers. They help you create shopping carts and payment solutions but not how to get lots of targeted visitors to your site and get them to buy! Their job is to build you a website, not build your business.
Create a Website that Gets Results
Perhaps you've decided to create a website using an online website builder or WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) website design software. Or maybe you've chosen a popular Content Management System (CMS) such as WordPress. These DIY web hosting site builders require no programming skills and are quick and easy to use. Unfortunately most of the sites built with them suffer the same affliction as those built by many web designers and web design companies. They produce a great looking website, but…
No Traffic – No Sales!
But, don't despair. I have some good news!
There is an online website builder that I'm proud to recommend. Why?
- It's based on the philosophy of building a business…not just a website
- It has built-in traffic generating tools and Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- You do not need any programming skills to use it – no HTML coding required – no website designer or web development company required
- You build and manage the site yourself. Trust me, there is a great deal of satisfaction in building your own successful web business!

CANTON - Judith L. DeGraaff and others who support creating a fenced-in dog park in the village believe Canton Island Park along the Grasse River would be enhanced by romping dogs and their owners.
The waterfront park, also known as Willow Island, is a swath of grass and trees off West Main Street on the western edge of the village.
Ms. DeGraaff, 56 Judson St., and other community members are trying to convince the village board to allow a dog park there where dogs would have a wide open space to exercise and socialize.
A dog park is not dependent on water, but it would be enhanced by it, Ms. DeGraaff said. It would help create a pleasant experience.
Priest Field off Judson Street was scrapped as a possible site after neighbors complained that a dog park would interfere with children playing in that area. They were also concerned about noise.
Now, Ms. DeGraaff and her supporters want the board to give them permission to install a wire fence and extra benches at Canton Island Park in order to establish space for a 17,000 square-foot dog park that would be shaped like a tear drop.
The land directly next to the water would not be included in the dog park. A diagram of the proposed park can be viewed on the town and villages website:www.cantonnewyork.us
We want to make it clear that people would still have access to the waterfront, Ms. DeGraaff said. There would be a clear length for picnics.
During a public hearing last week, Thomas M. Cutter, 55 Bird St., urged trustees to hold off making a decision until they consider recommendations included in the Canton Grasse River Revitalization Plan.
The 150-page document identifies options for enhancing the town and villages Grasse River waterfront. It was adopted by the town and village boards in 2010 and approved by the states Department of State Division of Coastal Resources.
You had six people who spent five years working on that plan, Mr. Cutter said. This board, at a bare minimum, should refer to this proposal.
The plan recommends that new development include uses that are enhanced by the riverfront and consistent with local architectural character.
It suggests more recreational and public access such as walking and biking rails, boat launches and fishing access. It also mentions restaurants, pubs, retail stores and overnight accommodations as other possibilities.
At Canton Island Park, the plan recommends adding grills, picnic tables and benches.
The intent was to add more facilities for people to come and picnic there. That has not been accomplished, Mr. Cutter said.
Ms. DeGraaff said she feels a dog park fits in with recommendations in the waterfront plan.
The dog park experience can be enhanced by being on the waterfront, she said.
Dr. Adam Jaffe and his wife, Brenda D., spoke in support of the dog park, telling trustees it could encourage dog owners to visit downtown.
At this point there is not a dog park in St. Lawrence County, Mr. Jaffe said. People travel with dogs a lot. I think it could be a very big boost to the downtown economy.
Mrs. Jaffe said she believes the waterfront plan and a dog park could go hand in hand.
Another supporter, Margaret Mauk, said, I dont see a conflict at all.
The village board held off making a decision, instead directing members of the dog park committee to meet with the waterfront advisory committee.

POTSDAM A year ago Clarkson headed to road games at Dartmouth and Harvard on the final weekend of the regular season hoping to earn a top-four finish in the ECAC Hockey standings and a first-round bye in the playoffs.
But the Golden Knights gave up four goals in the first period and lost 6-4 to Dartmouth on Friday and then fell 3-2 at Harvard on Saturday to drop to the seventh seed in the playoffs, where it then fell in a three-game series at home against Rensselaer.
This season, Clarkson heads on the road for the final weekend with a slight chance of a top-four spot, but in control of its own destiny to earn home ice for a first-round series.
Instead of a trip to New England, Clarkson instead heads to the Capital District this weekend to play Rensselaer tonight and Union College on Saturday.
Were looking forward to the weekend, Clarkson coach Casey Jones said. Its an opportunity here. Its a situation where if we play well and take care of our own fate here we should be in a good situation to play at home. Who knows how everything will shake out as to how far we can climb?
Clarkson has gone 4-3-1 in its last eight games, and the Golden Knights have had just one conference road weekend where they scored no points, and that was in the first semester at Colgate and Cornell.
We took a lot from our experience last year going into Harvard/Dartmouth and we learned from it, captain Ben Sexton said. We banked the things that we need to work on. We have a different mentality this year. We are more of a confident group coming down the stretch. We are really looking forward to this weekend.
In addition to positioning itself to be at home, Clarkson is looking to avenge one of its more embarrassing defeats of the season tonight. Second-place RPI earned a 6-2 win at Cheel Arena on Feb. 9.
We owe them one for this year and last year too in the playoffs, Allan McPherson said of RPI. They came here and embarrassed us this year. We have to come out with a better effort. We didnt play very well in that game. We have to have some respect for them but play hard and be strong against them.
Clarkson can assure itself of a home playoff series by splitting this weekend.
The Golden Knights can finish as high as third, but also can finish as low as 11th place.
The top four teams in ECAC Hockey earn a first-round bye and then host best-of-three quarterfinal series. Teams five-through-eight host a first-round, best-of-three series.
So what happens with Clarkson? Heres a look at how Clarkson fares given all five possible scenarios this weekend, from best to worst:
Four points: This would give the Golden Knights 23 points but still may not assure Clarkson of a first-round bye. RPI has 23 points heading into the weekend and St. Lawrence University has 22, which means the Saints would have to go no better than 0-1-1 for Clarkson to tie them. Dartmouth and Yale have 21 points and both have two home games this weekend.
Three points: This places Clarkson at 22 points, which would tie SLU if the Saints go winless. If it was a two-way tie then Clarkson would have the tiebreaker for going 1-0-1 against the Saints. But given that Dartmouth and Yale have home games this weekend its unlikely Clarkson could earn a top-four finish without a sweep.
Two points: Just one win, either tonight or Saturday, means Clarkson returns home next weekend to host a first-round series. If Union were to lose both games this weekend then Clarkson would jump the Dutchmen with a win and would be in a three-way tie with Yale and Dartmouth if those teams dropped both home games.
One point: This gives Clarkson 20 points and could leave the Golden Knights in seventh place, but Brown would have to earn just one point this weekend and Clarkson would have to hope the best Cornell or Princeton do is split their games. Brown is currently one point behind Clarkson with 18 points and Cornell and Princeton have 17.
No points: A worst-case scenario for Clarkson that would require the Golden Knights to have a lot of help to stay at home next weekend. Brown has home games against Cornell and Colgate. The Bears are 3-1-5 in their last nine contests. Cornell could tie a winless Clarkson with just one win this weekend, as could Princeton, which plays at Dartmouth and Harvard. But the Tigers would lose a tiebreaker with the Golden Knights if it was a two-team tie because Clarkson swept them. Colgate, which has a tiebreaker with Clarkson, would need the Golden Knights to go 0-2 and would need to sweep Yale and Brown on the road to tie.

IRASBURG, VT - Each year, Bob and Rachel Booth, owners of Bob's Quick Stop on Route 14 between Irasburg and Albany, plan a huge Christmas party for area children and this year was certainly no different.
Sunday, Dec. 18, at exactly 1 PM, the Irasburg Fire Department delivered Santa (assisted by Omer Bousquet) to his chair, ready to greet the children. Fire Chief Robin Beaton noted that Santa is heavier this year so they will put more air in the truck tires next year.
Garth McKinney and Dave Miclette, playing all the favorite Christmas songs, provided live music for the afternoon.
Elaine Miclette took complimentary photos of each of the children and printed them out.
As each child went to sit with Santa, he or she was given a candy cane full of M&Ms, a large coloring/activity book, and a box of 48 crayons.
By the end of the afternoon, nearly 75 children had visited with Santa, received their gifts and had signed up for a chance to win a giant five-foot long Christmas stocking full of toys, games and candy.
At 3 PM, all of the tickets went into a bag so that Santa could draw one out.
The lucky winner this year was Alexius Johnson, two-and-a-half years old, daughter of Adam and Angelique Johnson of Irasburg.
"This is always a fun day for us," Bob Booth reported. "Children love it and we love to watch them having so much fun."
Bob also wanted to thank the firemen and everyone else who helped with the party.
When the party was over, Santa headed back to the North Pole to pack his sleigh for Christmas Eve. The children stayed to eat all the rest of the Christmas cookies!

Last week you may recall there was a somewhat dyspeptic essay in this space about how people seemed to be getting too comfortable with the autocratic authority given to the Central Falls receiver. I suggested that we were giving up on democracy and learning to love Big Brother.
Well, on the very day that piece ran, the good people of Central Falls restored my faith in the public and its natural instincts to resist the iron grip of dictatorship.
Citizens thronged to Central Falls City Hall — and I do mean thronged; the Council Chamber was standing-room-only and there were more than 200 people on the street outside calling for the meeting to be shut down until everyone could get in — to vent their anger, frustration and resentment about a proposed winterlong parking ban that was to go into effect at midnight.
There were many gripes about the parking ban — people were worried what would happen to their cars in a remote lot, and afraid about walking blocks to and from their parked cars on winter nights — but there was also eloquently expressed anger about the way the ban was imposed on the receiver's say-so alone.
Many people at the Monday meeting simply could not comprehend why the elected City Council members they were talking to were completely impotent to stop the ban, or even force the receiver to be at the meeting to explain himself.
I couldn't help but think of the scene in the terrific movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," where King Arthur and a companion trot (without horses, of course) up to a peasant couple digging into the ground with their hands. Arthur informs them: "I am your king." The woman replies, "Well I didn't vote for you."
"You don't vote for kings," Arthur responds imperiously. "Well how'd you become king then?" the woman asks. Arthur says "The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king."
The man interrupts him to say, "Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony … You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you … If I went 'round saying I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away."
OK, enough of that, but if you haven't seen the movie, you should put it in your Netflix queue.
The point is, the very American idea of "No taxation without representation" is very much alive, in Central Falls at least, and that is a healthy thing. If one man (or woman) tries to assert total autocratic authority, even over a tiny and broke square-mile city, there will be pushback. That is heartening.
It should also be said that Receiver Robert Flanders made the right call in rescinding the parking ban the very next day. According to spokeswoman Christine Hunsinger, there was consultation with Gov. Lincoln Chafee, but Flanders made the final decision.
Let's face it: Flanders didn't have to give in. Nobody voted for him and nobody could vote him out. He could have stuck by his guns and there wouldn't have been anything anybody could do about it. But he heard the voice of the people and he responded accordingly. Good for him.
I almost wish he hadn't, because that would have given Sen. Betty Crowley more ammunition in her effort to amend the receivership law so that the receiver has power over financial issues only, and quality of life issues (like parking bans) are left in the hands of the elected council and mayor where they belong. The General Assembly should pass Crowley's bill tomorrow (although I don't think it's been introduced yet).
That ameliorates somewhat (but not fully) the contemptible arrogance of whoever in the receiver's office was responsible for giving the order to keep the City Hall doors locked for more than 45 minutes Monday evening while scores of citizens who had shown up to participate in their government huddled outside shivering in the sub-freezing (the temperature was about 30 degrees) cold. There were elderly people out there, infirm people walking with canes, and there was no good reason to keep them outside in that weather. The only reason I can think of for that action is that it was designed to discourage people from petitioning their government for a redress of grievances and frustrate them into going home.
Flanders was not there that night so he can not be personally blamed. Flanders has shown himself to be a good and decent man and I like to think the doors would not have stayed locked if he had been there. But whoever was responsible (and I almost never say this) should be fired immediately and publicly.
A government of the people, by the people and for the people should NEVER act like that.
Speaking of which, the trial of Lincoln police officer Edward Krawetz for kicking a seated, handcuffed woman in the head at Twin River finished up last week and the judge is expected to issue a decision a week from today.
Why on earth it could possibly take him that long is a mystery. Does he need to look up how to spell g-u-i-l-t-y?
Krawetz' contention that he was "defending myself" doesn't pass the laugh test. If you don't believe me, try a little experiment: have someone tie your hands behind your back and sit down really, really low, like on a curbstone. Now, by pivoting on your backside, try to kick a person standing next to you with any effectiveness. Not easy is it? Almost impossible, in fact. Now try doing it when you are really drunk, like the woman Krawetz kicked was. Doesn't make it any easier, huh?
If Krawetz felt so endangered by her weak kick at him that he felt the need to defend himself, how was she supposed to defend herself from his much harder kick sitting on a curbstone with her hands cuffed behind her back? If he wanted to keep himself from being kicked, taking a half-step backwards would have done the trick; he would have been out of range.
Too many cops work too hard helping too many people in bad situations for their profession to be blemished by one violent bully.
The most striking thing about the video — which anyone who watches TV news has seen 6,000 times in the past couple of weeks — is just how nonchalant Krawetz is. He is just standing there going about his business when the handcuffed woman swings her leg around at him. He then applies his foot to her temple, sending her slumping to the pavement, and very calmly goes back to what he was doing. The other cop on the scene had to rush over and attend to the woman. You might almost get the impression that this might not have been the first time Krawetz kicked someone in the head, although, to be fair, there is no evidence of that.
John Harwood (yes, the former House speaker) is a smart lawyer, smart enough that he was never going to let a jury of Krawetz' peers watch that video and then pass judgment on his client. Emotion was not going to be with the defense on this one, so Harwood opted for a trial before a judge where a technical legal argument just might win the day.
Let's hope not.
We're starting to run out of space here, but I couldn't let this week go by without giving a few huzzahs to Jessica Ahlquist, the brave and principled young girl from Cranston West High School who stood up for herself and her beliefs by going to court to get a prayer banner removed from the walls of her school, where more than five decades of settled constitutional law determined that it doesn't belong.
It could not have been easy for a teenager to stand in the face of all the peer-group and community pressure and stick up for herself, but Ahlquist did it over a very long period of time and she did it with grace and strength. She should be very proud of herself, and the students and teachers at her school and the rest of the Cranston community should be proud of her as well.
Ahlquist didn't vandalize the banner; she didn't rip it off the wall herself. She did what people are supposed to do in this country when they feel wronged — she took her case to court to be decided by a judge.
Now she is under vile and vicious attack by her schoolmates who are apparently not being properly taught about the American system of justice and by some ignorant adults in her community who should know better and ought to be ashamed of themselves.
I know it is hard for her to think this way now, but Ahlquist should consider the ignorant and bullying attacks being leveled against her as vindication of her long struggle. The visceral, violent and ugly emotional response touched off by her court suit and victory is PRECISELY why church and state should never be mixed in the first place.
Religion is a good and wonderful thing. It has a very valuable place in people's churches, in their homes and in their hearts. But when you try to force it into the public square, the public schools or city halls and state houses, where people have different and sometimes conflicting beliefs that they are all equally entitled to, or, as in Ahlquist's case, no belief at all, then it only causes trouble. Every time.

Just in time for the busy days of summer and review of next year's tentative budget, Helper City Council members weighed hiring employees to buck up several departments at their meeting last Thursday.
A candidate to fill one of three open positions with the fire department was approved, a part-time building department employee was moved to a full time permanent status, an assistant for the Western Mining and Railroad Museum was approved and the pool's new lifeguard is coming on line immediately.
"She is a bright light," said Councilman Dean Armstrong about Cassie Christman, who has been hired to work at the pool. "She is a lifeguard, a concessions manager and can train lifeguards."
Armstrong seemed particularly pleased that Christman will be able to train young people to work as lifeguards at the city's swim center.
"We will be able to hire as young as 15-year-olds on a work permit," he said.
In addition he said she is a boon to the snacking side of the recreation facility.
"We did not have experienced concessions help before," he said. "And she (Christman) has a science related degree."
It looks like Christman will certainly be earning her hourly wage of $13, as she will not only make sure the pool is safe and keep the concessions stand up and running but she will also be called on to promote the ammenity within the community.
"We will have her go out and market the pool too," said Mayor Mike Dalpiaz.
One of Helper Library's most active advocates as it turns out has also become a valued employee with the city's building department.
Mark Wickman, who serves as chairman for the library advisory committee has spent the last six months helping keep Helper's facilities and grounds in tip-top shape.
Councilman Kirk Mascaro was on hand at the May 1 meeting to propose moving Wickman from part-time status to full time and offer him the city's benefit package.
Wickman got another boon when the council members also wanted to give him a raise. He seemed surprised by the offer of an additional $1 an hour.
His response was uncharacteristically humble.
"I really appreciate your offer, but if it will cause problems with the budget I don't have to have it," he said.
Despite Wickman's personal offer to help keep city costs contained, his raise and new status was approved.
The business of fortifying city staff segued into the budget discussion for fiscal years 2008/09 and its challenges.
"We have some benefit raises for employees," Dalpiaz said. "We are looking at 3 percent for city employee's insurance and 3 percent for police retirement only."
The council was presented with its working budget that will be tweaked and adjusted over the next six weeks as the deadline draws near for the completed budget to go to public hearing.
The tenative projected general fund revenues and expenditures for 2008/09 are $1,676,355 which is down from $1,842, 730 in 2007/08.
In addition to the general fund, the city has projected revenues and expenses for several separate funding areas. Each of them is balanced between income and expenses, they are as follows:
Funds 2008/09 - 2007/08
Museum $52,700 - $54,500
Capital Projects Museum $910,000 - $610,000
Redevelopment $5,000 (no expenditures) - $5,000
Rio Hotel Fund $21,000 - $19,000
Cap Proj Swimming Pool $300,000 - $1.5 million
Water $538,977 - $538, 977
Sewer $255,000 - $255,000
The Helper City Council meets the first and third Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. at the Helper Auditorium, 19 South Main St. For more information or to be put on the agenda contact Jona M. Skerl at 472-5391.

Excavation for the extensive rebuild of the water and sewer systems in Helper is cutting across Main Street at Maple Street, severing the link to the Spring Glen Highway at the south end of town.
While that may be merely an inconvenience to casual motorists, it is a matter for contingency planning for emergency services. Helper's fire and rescue services respond to distress calls in Spring Glen and Kenilworth.
With the direct link cut for about three weeks, it means fire trucks will have to go all the way to the Spring Glen intersection at the Carbon Country Club about three miles down Highway Six, explained Helper Public Works Director Gary Harwood.
Harwood, who is also a member of the city council, said emergency services in Price are aware of the situation. If necessary, Price will respond to medical or fire calls in that part of the unincorporated county.
Rescue and fire fighting vehicles in the torn-up section of the city will rely on police for guidance, he said.
As heavy equipment is turning streets into moonscapes as work advances, the work of connection and covering up is well under way where main lines have already been laid.
New lateral lines home connections are sprouting like green shoots from trenches in rights-of-way between houses.
Excavation work has also begun west of Highway 6 as well.
Meanwhile, as the upgrade continues, city crews are still working with the old problems that made water and sewer service so precarious over the decades.
Harwood said one culinary water line break on 100 West Street went undetected for days or longer. "It didn't break the surface, so we didn't know it was there," he said Tuesday. "So water was running out of the break right into the Price River. That was an expensive break," he said.
Helper had been spending anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars per week on repairs to the dilapidated water and sewer systems.
After a lengthy engineering study and planning process, the city presented a request for funding last year to the state's Permanent Community Impact Board. The board agreed to commit $7 million in an outright grant and more than $12 million in low-interest and zero-interest loans.
Helper has increased its utility rates to finance the loan payback.
The city-wide rebuild of water, sewer and storm drainage systems will take another two years to complete.

While it may be a difficult thing for a player of any sport to understand, losing can help an individual and a team to become better.
It's a tough lesson for Price to digest after going winless in four games at the Helper Tournament over the weekend.
Head coach Willie Ellington said the team has shown improvements across the board but notes that errors and lapses during the games have hurt the team.
"We're still battling out there trying to get our first win," Ellington said. "We have to stop committing errors and allowing teams to have big innings against us."
Despite the tough weekend, Ellington said the tournament could be a character building moment for the team.
"We need to put in a lot of work from this point to get better and learn to have that competitive edge in hanging with other teams down to the end of the game," he said.
While the results on the field may not be going the way the team envisioned things at the beginning of the season, Ellington said the team still has the privilege of going out and playing the game of baseball.
"While we are still looking for that first win, we're not going to be giving up anytime soon," Ellington said.

The 34-year old Renaissance Center, or Ren Cen as locals know it, is the headquarters of General Motors and home to the Detroit Marriott, the tallest hotel in the country. Though its retail ventures faltered, it's a successful office complex. Ren Cen is certainly a geographical and historical landmark, but the reality is that there's not much to do inside. The exception is the Coach Insignia, the lone restaurant that sits atop the center. It's open at night and worth a few dollars for a beverage if only to see the view. Not that the view is that dramatic -- it's just fun to see Detroit's wagon-wheel shape. Outside, the 14-acre campus is the start of the Detroit Riverwalk, courtesy of The Riverfront Conservancy. This concerned group of ecological investors, with deep pockets and good connections, turned a desolate pile of rocks and chewed-up landscaping into a wide, asphalt walkway 3 miles long. Flanked by tidy landscaping, the Riverwalk is a lovely backdrop for Detroit River Days, held the third weekend in June, when Detroit and Windsor celebrate their independence days with fireworks and festivities. For an entrance fee of $3, you can concerts, boat tours and sand sculptures, among other family-friendly activities. Farther along, the Riverwalk enters the William Milliken State Park. Flanked by tall seagrass and overflowing pots of geraniums, it's a great spot to rent a bike, ride the Great Lakes theme carousel or take out a dinghy. Boaters rejoice -- the tiny park even holds a marina.

The family of 27 year old Army Specialist Brett Gornewicz is preparing for their soldier-son to be laid to rest here in Western New York. They were there at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware when his body arrived back in this country earlier this week.
His body is scheduled to be flown back to the region on Sunday, with a wake planned for later that day at the Charles Meyer Funeral Home. That will go from 2 until 8 p.m.
Gornewicz will be remembered in a funeral this upcoming Monday. It is scheduled for 11 a.m. at St. John's Church in Alden.
The Army reservist from Alden and two other soldiers were killed Saturday when their armored vehicle struck an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan.
His sister Cassandra Cranston tells 2 on Your Side that her brother was a selfless man who always put others before his needs. In fact he was awarded the Bronze Star for valor.
Cranston says her brother never complained or talked that much about what he experienced in Iraq or Afghanistan but he believed in what he was doing. She says he did express the opinion that it was more dangerous in Afghanistan.
Gornewicz had the very dangerous assignment of combat engineer and he and others in his unit would often clear roads of IEDs to help save the lives of other soldiers.
Gornewicz was an Alden High School and SUNY graduate with an engineering degree and he hoped to start a new life with his girlfriend Nicole in North Carolina when his deployment was over.

AVALANCHE 4, ISLANDERS 3 OT A Lesson in Poor Finishing, Poor Refereeing
The refereeing tonight in Denver was atrocious. Late in the third of a close game, Marty Reasoner skated off after being injured away from the play. A nasty cross-check missed by the referees was the culprit. With Al Montoya getting run all night, the referees took matters into their own hand with a bizarre high sticking penalty against the Islanders netminder in overtime. That would decide the game as the Avs cashed in on the ensuing power play.
However, the Islanders dug the hole for themselves. An iffy penalty call on Jay Pandolfo late in the second created a 5-on-3 that the Avalanche took advantage of cutting the lead to 3-1 at the second intermission. The Islanders would surrender the rest of the lead during a third period that saw them hemmed into their own zone for the vast majority of the period. Two goals that Al Montoya would like to have back later and the lead was gone. As nice as the first two periods were where the Isles jumped all over the home team, the tables got turned in the third as the team completely wilted on the road.
The post-game was just as erroneous and bizarre for the Long Island crew on the ice as it was in the broadcast booth and on Twitter. An eager twitterer started a rumor of a potential trade which was retweeted by the team's beat writer and then quoted on the MSG post-game broadcast. The broadcast team had Jiggs McDonald cite the two persons above on air at the conclusion of the game. After the ensuing commercial break and on the internet, there was an awkward back pedaling from all parties involved. Hard to believe where folks so close to the team are getting their info.
5 minuses- Referees, see above.
10 Minuses- The entire third period for the Isles. After two solid periods, it was absolutely inexcusable. It reeked of a lack of leadership and energy.
+ Josh Bailey winning an offensive zone face off then going to the net and finding
Gandalf Mark Streit the power play wizard's shot-pass for the goal. Should be a nice confidence boost for a guy who needs it.
– That 13 games in Josh Bailey has more goals than Kyle Okposo.
+ The sort of reappearance of Kyle Okposo. The Comeau-Reasoner-Okposo line, while not on the scoresheet, has some great possession shifts during the first two periods.
+ 1-800-BIG-CUBANO with and unbelievable 47 saves. Yes, the middle two goals against were bad goals to give up and let the Avs back in it. It's hard to fault him too much on a night when he was allowed faced 51 shots.
– Keep in mind the Islanders also were credited with blocking 24 shots. Allowing 75 attempts is way, way, way too many.
+ Matt Martin fully embracing the tough guy role on the team by coming to John Tavares' aid. The play on Tavares' wasn't anything particularly outlandish until Wilson decided he needed to get on top on JT91.
– The unfortunate part of Martin picking up this role is that he ends up spending a solid portion on the game in the box.
+ Michael Grabner with numerous solo breakaways, scoring a goal on a 3-on-1 on a pretty feed from Matt Moulson.
– Michael Grabner not cashing in on aforementioned solo breakaways.
– The entire third period. Did I mention is was awful?

Continental Scientific Drilling Coordination Office for the Division of Earth Sciences
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 15-1), is
effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after December 26, 2014. The PAPPG is consistent
with, and, implements the new Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) (2 CFR � 200). Please be advised that
the guidelines contained in NSF 15-1 apply to proposals submitted in response to this
funding opportunity.
The Division of Earth Sciences (EAR) at the National Science Foundation (NSF) requests proposals from interested groups to support current and future continental scientific drilling activities. We request proposals for the establishment of a Continental Scientific Drilling Coordination Office (CSDCO) that will help coordinate planning for continental scientific drilling projects, in collaboration with the Earth science community, and will have the capability to supply continental scientific drilling support and expertise for NSF-funded research.
The CSDCO may work with the commercial drilling community or other drilling organizations to determine the type and availability of drilling services that may be available for NSF-funded scientific projects that require continental drilling. The CSDCO, if requested by the PI of the scientific project, may assist with the development of requests for bids to provide the drilling services. The CSDCO is expected to play a proactive role in the community to encourage innovation in drilling technologies and methods in response to community needs and will help guide the development of new drilling designs as requested by the research community.
The successful proponent will be expected to manage drilling activities for the US scientific community, as needed. Requirements for drilling activities will be derived both from long-range science plans developed by the community as well as research proposals funded by NSF. We encourage collaborations with international partners such as the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) and with scientists funded by other sources. The CSDCO will be capable of assisting in the planning and execution of all aspects of the drilling activities that EAR supports.
Interested parties must propose to this solicitation with a plan to provide for these services under a single award. The CSDCO award will be administered as a Cooperative Agreement with an anticipated duration of up to five-years beginning on October 1, 2013. A mid-term management review will be required, which will guide a decision to re-compete or renew the Cooperative Agreement for up to a further five-year period.

When did the NFL start having a Pro Bowl?
When did the NFL start having a Pro Bowl?
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
Burn down the disco. Hang the blessed DJ. Because the music that he constantly plays, it says nothing to me about my life.
If they want full speed.....or not half A type game.......make any player who is injured seriously, like it affects him playing next year......make whatever contract he has become guaranteed through the life of it or have the player take out insurance on himself. Keep Playing the PB after the super bowl.
While we are at it.... get rid of all divisions. Play 16 games, all Home/Away within your conference and that way you determine best teams in the conference with Top 8 playing in the playoffs. Best record vs 8th best. Home field advantage still stands, no bye weeks.
Make rosters 60 man squads, all available to play......this way injured players are not still out there getting more injured. NO Thursday games, except for Thanksgiving. Make games on saturdays like they used to in the last month of the season when the college season was ending.
The Bengals are a more complete team like this anyways. Before it was 4-6 Pro Bowlers but below average players here and there. Now..... maybe Center is below average but usually Cook is at least average. Everything else is pretty above average....more depth on this team then I have seen on any bengals team.
Kingspoint (12-29-2013)
positions where the Bengals are below average. I would've said SLB earlier in the year but Harrison has come on in the second half of the season.
FB too if you count that as a position. To this day the decision to keep Orson Charles over the Terminator still baffles me.
Go BLUE!!!
Hope we win, but most important thing is to stay as healthy as possible. With all of these games with playoff implications this week it's awesome to already have our division wrapped up. Ending the regular season by ending Baltimore's season would be the cherry on top.
Newman Gresh and Eifert all out today. Will need Sanu or Baby Hawk to step up in a major way to keep the safeties honest over the middle. Otherwise they will be able to take AJ out of the game, and we'll be in trouble.
Go BLUE!!!

Awesome start. I like it. Think it wakes them up.
Grape works as a soda. Sort of as a gum. I wonder why it doesn't work as a pie. Grape pie? There's no grape pie. - Larry David
Why does Gruden never establish the run? Dalton is always a better QB when they get the run game going. Starting off with big passing plays tends to end badly. Sometimes I wonder if he's become infected with Bratkowski-itis.
Burn down the disco. Hang the blessed DJ. Because the music that he constantly plays, it says nothing to me about my life.
See what happens when you mix in some running into the offense? Sets up the TD pass. That's what I'm talking about!

With all the injuries at TE, it might be wise to run some two back sets with the Law Firm and Bernard out there, especially with Bernard as a good pass catching back. It would make it more difficult to guess inside run, outside run, or pass.

Read: How Many Starts Will Henrik Lundqvist/Marty Biron Get This Year
James Mirtle of the Toronto Globe and Mail says that similar to the 1994-95 season, back up goalies aren't expected to carry much of a workload during this 48 game season.
Mirtle writes, "if you've got a star like Lundqvist, you could run him out there 44+ games and not worry about fatigue. Even with the playoffs, that isn't too heavy of a workload.
He notes that many coaches may employ this because "every game will be so important."
Lundqvist is the favorite to win the Vezina Trophy for the second straight season.

The European Union gives new rights to passengers traveling by coach and bus Gepubliceerd op: 13/03/2013
Today the EU is the first integrated area of passenger rights in the world: passengers are protected when they travel across the EU no matter whether they travel by air, by rail, by boat or by bus or coach.
After air and train passengers, the 70 million passengers travelling annually in the EU by buses and coaches in the EU are now given additional protection.
Regulation (EU) No 181/2011 on bus and coach passenger rights lays down travelers' basic rights, and imposes a number of obligations on bus and coach companies and terminal managers concerning their responsibility towards the passengers. The regulation became applicable on 1st March 2013.
These new rights include:
- Non-discrimination based on nationality regarding tariffs and other contract conditions
- non-discriminatory treatment for disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility. Specifically, free-of-charge assistance both at designated bus terminals and on board buses and coaches, as well as financial compensation for loss of or damage to their mobility equipment;
- adequate and accessible information for all passengers before and during their journey, as well as general information in bus terminals and on the internet about their rights
- reimbursement of the full ticket price or rerouting in case of overbooking, cancellation or delay of more than 2 hours from the estimated time of departure (only applicable for journeys of more than 250 km distance);
- compensation of 50% of the ticket price in addition to the reimbursement of the full price in case of overbooking, cancellation or a delay of more than 2 hours from the estimated time of departure, when the bus and coach company fails to offer the passenger the right to choose between reimbursement and rerouting (only applicable for journeys of more than 250 km distance);
- adequate assistance (snacks, meals, refreshments, as well as, if necessary, accommodation) in case of cancellation or delay of more than 90 minutes for journeys longer than 3 hours (only applicable for journeys of more than 250 km distance
- compensation for death, injury, loss or damage to luggage caused by road accidents
- a complaint handling mechanism established by the bus and coach companies and available to all passengers
- setting-up of independent bodies in each EU Member State with the mandate to enforce the regulation and, where appropriate, to impose penalties
