I have always loved Salvatore Ferragamo shoes, especially the VARA. I have over 10 pairs in different colors that s how comfortable they are for me, especially because I am not allowed to wear very high heels because of my back. Will recommend them anytime.

These shoes are comfortable and beautiful. They are very elegant and can be worn any time of the day or night, with skirts, pants and even classy jeans. I love them, and I will buy more colors. The light gray is a suede leather and not smooth. They are beautiful. They are so light in color that it's almost like men's bucks.
I'd also recommend: Chanel!

They are so cute and stylish! Love the color and the little cute bow. They are not the most comfortable shoes I have worn, but they are not bad. I like that the bow is made in leather instead of cloth, like other Ferragamo flats.

These are lovely shoes, but the gray was lighter than I expected and will not go with my outfit.

These shoes are the best shoes I've bought in a long time. Yes, they are pricey but they are classic, timeless, beautiful, and so feminine on your feet. I adore them. Zappos you are the best!

PHILADELPHIA Almost half a million dollars was tacked onto Indian River Centrals 2013-14 budget before it was approved Thursday night by the Board of Education.
The $79,997,181 budget includes a new pool scoreboard and a redesigned bus loop for Indian River Intermediate School.
Appropriated fund balance the amount to be used to offset a tax increase was increased from $17,655,455 to $20,654,899.
The budget will increase the overall tax levy by 2.5 percent, a slight decrease from the 2.59 percent projected at the boards March 21 meeting.
Im comfortable with those figures, said board member Linda M. Capone.
The new projects will add $469,477 to next years budget.
At the meeting, Business Manager James R. Koch proposed returning the bus parking lot project to the budget.
I was the one that made the recommendation to pull it, he said. At the time, it was about finding approximately $40,000 to fund it.
He also was the one who recommended the proposal in December. With an increase in students projected for next year, the number of buses picking them up would have to increase as well. Without the project, Mr. Koch said, buses would have to be nose to tail, rather than staggered as they are now, to fit in the intermediate school bus loop.
Currently, students tend to walk between the buses rather than across the central designated walking path.
With buses nose to tail, a student could be critically injured between two buses if one of the buses lurched forward due to a malfunction.
Thanks to a surge in federal high impact aid, the district needs to spend money fast within certain parameters in order to keep getting this type of aid.
If you do it in this budget, it doesnt run up your per-pupil expenditure that would impact (high) impact aid, Mr. Koch said.
Several other board members agreed to adding it back in the budget.
We have the funds now to do it, Board of Education President Frank J. Laverghetta said. Its a safety issue, which is why it was originally looked at.
Board Vice President Thomas L. Lapp agreed to support it because it was about safety.
Board member Peter D. Shue was worried that future construction projects would wreck the proposed lot. Mrs. Capone echoed his concerns, saying that all contracts with construction companies should be airtight to make sure they repair anything they ruin.
Additionally, the nearly 20-year-old pool scoreboard, which originally was set for repair, will be taken down and replaced with a newer model.
Mr. Koch said the home and guest scores were consistently not showing up.
Mr. Lapp said a repaired scoreboard would have a maximum of five more years left.
In five years, I dont know what our fund balance is going to be, Mr. Lapp said. I dont know what our revenue will be.
Mr. Koch said replacing rather than repairing the scoreboard is a $9,929 difference.
Other items added to the budget include $101,000 for insurance and $7,000 to compensate teachers for returning in the summer to finish the last portion of their teacher evaluations.
We said, Whoops, we just thought about that one, Mr. Koch said.

Read: An Update On Michael St. Croix/He Scored Four Goals Last Night
Rangers prospect Michael St. Croix scored 4 power play goals last night in the Edmonton Oil Kings 8-1 win over the Regina Pats.
Buzzing the Net made him their Number 3 star last night.
The Oil King describe the four goals that St. Croix scored as:
- Goal 1: "Foster passes the puck back to Dylan Wruck at the point who feeds St. Croix to Hewitt's right for the opening goal of the game." The goal is described as coming from a bad angle shot from the bottom of the faceoff circle
- Goal 2: "Samuelsson sends a sharp cross-crease pass to St. Croix who waits out Hewitt and banks a shot in off a Pats defender for the Oil Kings' third PPG of the game to make it 3-0."
- Goal 3: 12:21 – "St. Croix denied on the hat trick once again as he blasts a power-play shot off the crossbar.10:58 – … and it's a GOAL! Play finally stops and the officials review St. Croix's previous attempt. The replay shows the slapshot actually deflects off the crossbar and the back bar to make it 4-1 Oil Kings. St. Croix nets the hat trick with his third PPG of the game."
- Goal 4: "The Oil Kings sniper sends a rocket through traffic off the crossbar and in to make it 6-1."
The goals, in this highlight clip, come at 10 seconds, 38 seconds, 1:03 and 1:28
Gordie Clark told Blueshirts United that St. Croix was very open to hearing how the Rangers wanted him to get better, "We hoped he would continue where he left off last year. we didn't want to see a drop off. I thought that he and his team faded in the Memorial Cup last year but he is a big boy and he loved the fact that I went right to him and told him that we thought his game slipped and that he had to do something over the summer to take care of that. He worked out hard and they are going to be one of the teams out in the West to be favored again. He plays a lot, he handles the puck a lot. He is on the power play and he is scoring goals and making plays. That is the kind of player that he has to be.
Leslie Treff writes at Hockey's Future that St. Croix is a potential second line center and can both score and make plays. She does note that St. Croix does need to add more strength to be a productive force in the NHL.

What Faith Driven Consumers Seek From Brands
Hint: It's all about faith compatibility
Consumers expect more from brands than ever before—and a key element of these expectations is that brands will reflect and respect their values. In recent years, cause-driven corporate choices have leaned toward a focus on environmental friendliness and social responsibility—to name two out of many. But what about compatibility with faith?Read more
Faith Driven Consumers Represent a Unique Marketplace Perspective
Survey Data Show That Faith Driven Consumers Put Their Finances Where Their Faith Is
A key goal for any brand is analyzing customer behavior—what motivates consumers in their purchasing decisions. Equally important, what steers them away from a purchase.
Thankfully, brands have a solid well of new survey data from American Insights to draw conclusions from regarding Faith Driven Consumers, a growing but largely untapped niche market that represents 17% of the U.S. adult population—more than 41 million people—who spend $2 trillion annually. As we first unveiled last week, this 85-question national survey gives brands a valuable snapshot of those who identify as "faith driven" in their purchasing decisions.Read more
New Research Sheds Light on Who Faith Driven Consumers Are—And What They Want
Racially and Politically Diverse, Faith Driven Consumers Are a Powerful Buying Force in America
Faith Driven Consumers have emerged as a purchasing powerhouse in recent years. Now, we have some exciting new data that will show exactly who makes up this "faith-driven" cohort of consumers and what they want from brands.
Conducted by the research firm American Insights, this comprehensive new national survey qualifies and quantifies Faith Driven Consumers, a rapidly emerging and economically potent subset of the Christian community. These consumers represent 17% of the U.S. adult population—more than 41 million people—who spend $2 trillion each year.Read more
"Duck Dynasty" Breaks More Viewership Records in 3rd Season Finale
Tops the charts against both cable and broadcast competitors
Who would have guessed that a family that embodies rural American values and love for hunting and Jesus could be so much fun to watch?
Last summer we wrote about the popular A&E show, "Duck Dynasty," which follows the daily lives of the Robertson family, a clan of self-proclaimed rednecks whose Duck Commander brand of hunting products has made them rich and famous.
The 30-minute show has now become a national phenomenon and recently set the record as A&E's most-watched show after 9.6 million viewers tuned in for the season three series finale on April 24.
From Yahoo!:

"Last night's one-hour episode garnered 5.6 million viewers in adults 25-54, 5.5 million adults 18-49 and 2.6 million adults 18-34 to become the most-watched series telecast in A&E's history in all demos. That is a 41% rise in 18-49 over last season's finale and a 47% rise in 25-54."
Women Control Spending Power in America
Nielsen findings consistent with data on $2 trillion Faith Driven Consumer segment
Grocery stores, mass retailers, and drug stores – these are a few store types that women disproportionately control in terms of spending power in America.
New data released by Nielsen in April 2013 show that women have vast spending power – ranging from $5 trillion to $15 trillion annually. The report indicates that in the next decade, women as a demographic will control two-thirds of the consumer wealth in the U.S. and will continue to grow to unprecedented levels as a segment.Read more
Majority of Americans Still Religiously Affiliated
Gallup findings consistent with data on $2 trillion Faith Driven Consumer segment
Religion is alive and well in America.
New data released by Gallup in February shows that 40 percent of Americans in 2012 classified themselves as very religious. For this group, religion was an important part of daily life and they attended religious services every week or almost every week. Additionally, 29 percent of those surveyed self-identified as moderately religious—meaning that about seven in ten Americans consider themselves to be moderately to very religious.
Gallup's state-by-state results were "based on more than 348,000 interviews conducted as part of Gallup Daily tracking in 2012, including more than 1,000 interviews conducted in all but two states and the District of Columbia."Read more
Case Study: Lowe's Has Natural Affinity with Emerging $2 Trillion Market Segment
Home improvement giant resonates well with Faith Driven Consumers
Tools, paint, building and garden supplies, convenience, customer service and price — these are some of the things consumers look for when shopping at a home improvement store.
But beyond factors that often differentiate one retailer over another, most consumers gravitate toward the brand that "feels right" – most closely aligns and is compatible with – their core values and worldview.
Based on our research, as a national home improvement chain which has taken a neutral stand on divisive cultural issues, Lowe's is more likely to resonate deeply with the rapidly emerging and economically powerful Faith Driven Consumer segment than its chief competitor, Home Depot. This market segment, of 41 million Americans that spends $2 trillion annually, could be a game-changer for Lowe's.Read more
Faith-based Quiz Show a Television Market Hit
More evidence that Faith Driven Consumers are a viable and desirable segment for brands
Last fall, I wrote on our Faith Driven Consumer blog about GSN's new hit show, "The American Bible Challenge," hosted by comedian Jeff Foxworthy. It premiered as the cable network's top-rated program of all time with 1.7 million viewers, and maintained its position throughout the season with 13 million viewers and the highest viewership ratings for GSN in its 17-year history.
Recently, GSN announced that the show, which features three teams of three contestants answering questions from the Bible, will be renewed for a second season. And to "bring a little more sauce and swag" to the hit show, GSN has added seven-time Grammy winner Kirk Franklin and an on-stage gospel choir into the mix.Read more
Boy Scouts Decision Highlights Need for Brands to Consider Their Core Consumers
Faith Driven Consumers at heart of affinity market segment
The leadership of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) continues to grapple with its national policy on sexual orientation. This week's announcement to postpone a final decision until May indicates a shift toward fuller consideration of viewpoints held by its core consumer members and natural affinity stakeholders.
While there are other stakeholders and market segments that have ties to BSA – an enduring brand that has contributed greatly to the development of American leaders for more than a century – at its heart are Faith Driven Consumers. Between two-thirds and 70 percent of local scouting units are sponsored by faith-affiliated groups – the majority of which hold to historic and traditional biblical values and morals on human sexuality, marriage and family.Read more
Top 2013 Super Bowl Ads Resonate with Faith Driven Consumers
Brands that speak to America's heritage of faith and family win highest ratings
For brands that are open to considering the value of welcoming and including the $2 trillion Faith Driven Consumer segment into their marketing mix, the results of the 2013 Super Bowl ad campaigns show that faith- and family-oriented messages scored big with American consumers.
Indeed, the case can be made that out of 54 Super Bowl ads rated by USA Today's Ad Meter, four of the top five were Faith Driven Consumer-messaged ads.Read more

The Loftus-Wanchick Debate on the Existence of the Christian God
Previously Tom debated Richard Carrier on Naturalism vs Theism. This present debate narrows his focus even more.
1) The Bible is filled with mythic folklore. Here are just a few examples: There isn't any way to harmonize the creation accounts in Genesis with the age of the universe, granting the time necessary for galaxy, star, solar system, earth, animal, and human formation. The stories of Adam & Eve, Cain, the pre-flood ages of men, and the flood itself have no basis in historical fact. There are similar polytheistic stories like these which predate Genesis by as much as 350 years. Since older sources are to be considered the more reliable sources, then a monotheistic God was not involved, if these events happened at all. There is also no archeological evidence for the Israelites in Egyptian slavery for 400 years, or of their wilderness wanderings for 40 years, or of their conquest of Canaan.
2) I find it implausible to believe that a Triune God (3 persons in 1 who always agree?) has always and forever existed without cause and will always and forever exist (even though our entire experience is that everything has a beginning and an ending), as a fully formed being (even though our entire experience is that order grows incrementally), without a body (and yet acts in the material world), in a timeless existence (and yet creates time), having all knowledge (who consequently never learned anything), and who is the source of all complex information found in the details of the makeup of this universe. This God purportedly has all power (but doesn't exercise it like we would if we saw a burning child), and is present everywhere (and who also knows what time it is everywhere in our universe even though time is a function of movement and bodily placement). How is it possible for this being to be called a "person," who thinks (which demands weighing temporal alternatives), and who freely chooses who he is and what his values are (even though we never find a time when such choices were made by him)?
3) This barbaric God commanded that witches and people who worship other gods should be killed. He commanded that men should rape women in the spoils of war, and even commit genocide. He allowed people to own slaves which could be beaten within an inch of their lives. He commanded that men should divorce their wives simply because they had a different religion, and women were pretty much defenseless without a husband. He demanded blood sacrifice in order to forgive sins. There is no cogent explanation for how Jesus' death atones for our sins. He will eternally punish those who don't see enough evidence to believe in Jesus, while not providing enough of it to believe.
4) The world this God created is not like the world we would expect to find if a good God exists. There is too much natural suffering in it for man alone to be blamed. The law of predation is simply unnecessary. If God exists he could've made us all vegetarians and made edible plants grow like weeds do today. If God exists he could end the wars between religious faiths by revealing himself more clearly in this world.
5) God revealed himself in a historically conditioned book before the printing press, even though almost anything can be rationally denied in history, even if it happened. For an omniscient being, he chose a poor medium to do so. I challenge Tom to find one passage in God's OT revelation to be considered a prophecy (and not wish fulfillment) of the life, death, or resurrection of Jesus which singularly points to him.

POTSDAM - The SUNY Potsdam softball team overcame several setbacks in the 2012 season to tie the school record in wins with a 13-23 finish.
This year, the squad looks for a fresh start with a revamped roster and a new sense of energy in search of Potsdams first winning season and a SUNYAC playoff berth.
We are shooting for our first winning season that the program has ever had this year, said Head Coach Shannon Dillabough. We have a lot of fresh faces and we are looking forward to putting everything together for a playoff appearance.
In order to achieve this goal, Dillabough has brought in new talent to improve on his previous squad.
We have revamped the entire team this year, said the nine-year head coach. We will have up to six or seven new girls on the field that didnt play last season. This will be a great new fusion of talent with the additions of several transfers and incoming freshman. Position by position, I think we are better offensively and defensively than we have been in the past.
The team will rely on its leadership to guide the inexperienced group throughout the season. Senior Heather Johnson (Heuvelton, N.Y.), also a soccer player for the Bears, is the lone captain and a key returner with 102 starts in a Potsdam uniform. Dillabough also noted several other players that bring leadership and experience to his team.
Heather Johnson is our captain, said Coach Dillabough. She has stepped into several different roles for us over her four years. Brittany Thivierge (Schuylerville, N.Y.) brings experience to the roster after serving as an assistant at Herkimer Community College. Molly McCuin (Winthrop, N.Y.) and Amanda Perry (South Glens Falls, N.Y.) bring leadership to our team.
This leadership will be tested with a tough upcoming 2013 schedule. The Bears will face 14 non-conference opponents throughout the season. Nine of the foes will battle the team during their spring break trip in Florida from March 22-27. Potsdam then returns from the sunshine state to face a challenging SUNYAC slate. On March 29-30, the Bears open up conference play on the road versus The College at Brockport and SUNY Geneseo. Potsdam will remain on the road until April 12 when they return home to host SUNY Cortland.
Coach Dillabough realizes the challenges of the SUNYAC and hopes his team uses the experience in Florida to respond to the top level of competition the conference offers.
The SUNYAC is one of the best Division III conferences in the nation, said Dillabough. You have to come to play everyday. Every game is a dogfight, which that aspect is fun and exciting. It will be interesting to see how our players react and adjust to the tough schedule.
The Bears open their season against Lyndon State this afternoon at the Adirondack Sports Complex Dome in Queensbury starting at 1 p.m.
Junior Ashley Thayer (Winthrop, N.Y.) returns as the top pitcher for the Bears this season. Thayer threw Potsdams only two no hitters in school history, including one last year against Mt. St. Marys on March 3. She finished the season with a 4.01 era in 20 games. The Winthrop native led the pitching staff in wins (7), innings pitched (118.5), starts (19), strikeouts (88), and held opponents to a .241 batting average.
We are looking for her (Thayer) to get back to where she was her freshman year, said Dillabough. She is now back in form and ready to go.
Junior Megan Johnson (Heuvelton, N.Y.) is the other returning pitcher on the Bears staff. Johnson recorded 21 innings pitched in nine games with 15 strikeouts last year.
Two freshmen join the squad for the 2013 campaign. Carina Chirinko (Fairport, N.Y.) and Jordan Sarat (Caledonia, N.Y.) will round out the starting pitching staff and will provide relief out of the bullpen.
Carina and Jordan will provide depth and help us out a lot, said Dillabough.
The Bears were left without an experienced catcher in 2012. However, in 2013 the coaching staff is looking forward to the new additions and the return of All-SUNYAC catcher Amanda Perry (South Glens Falls, N.Y.) after a season away.
Last year we lacked catchers, said Dillabough. This year we have a lot of depth at the catcher position. We are about four or five deep this year, which will be a source of strength for us. That will give us an opportunity to do some different things and give us some mobility.
Junior Shannon Pagliaro (Beacon, N.Y.) returns after stepping up big at the catcher position last year. Along with Pagliaro, there are two transfers that will help provide flexibility behind the plate. Thivierge joins the Bears from Herkimer Community College and junior Khalshia White (Saint Regis Falls, N.Y.) moves from St. Lawrence University to give Potsdam depth at the catcher position.
Freshman Katie Marsman (Wantagh, N.Y.), who also plays hockey for Potsdam, will be a solid presence for the Bears as well.
Brittany joins the team from Herkimer and can catch and play first base for us, said Dillabough. Marsman is solid from behind the plate and will help us out offensively and defensively.
The Potsdam infield has been a very competitive group throughout preseason. Coach Dillabough sights the flexibility of his team as the reason for the positive competition at each position on the diamond.
It has been a battle so far this season in the infield. We have a lot of options and flexibility this year. Its going to be fun to watch and see how we mix and match things, said the Bears head coach.
At first base, Marsman and Thivierge will split time with McCuin adding depth at the position.
Megan Johnson, along with her pitching duties, will split time at second base with freshman Alexis Lerman (Fayetteville, N.Y.).
Johnson posted a .211 batting average in 19 at bats last season. Senior Sarah Hraniotis (Montgomery, N.Y.) will also look to contribute at second.
Sarah is a senior and will be competing for time at second base and some outfield, said Dillabough. She has a great enthusiasm for the game, enjoys working hard, and is a good teammate.
Heather Johnson will come back after playing centerfield last year to play shortstop for the Bears in 2013. This will be the seniors fourth position in her four years at Potsdam.
Heather has stepped up and played wherever we have needed her and has played well. Dillabough said.
At third, Potsdam will utilize several different players to their advantage. McCuin and White will battle for third base. McCuin hit .253 and started 33 games last season. White tallied a .239 batting average in 46 at bats with two homeruns at St. Lawrence in 2012. Marsman and Pagliaro will provide depth and versatility at the position.
Shannon Pagliaro has a great glove defensively and we can see her coming in and playing a good role, said Dillabough.
Freshman Meg Gabri (Madrid, N.Y.) joins Marsman as a newcomer in the infield and will serve as a utility player for shortstop and second base.
Several returnees and newcomers will make up the outfield for the 2013 campaign. Freshman Samantha Cohn (Harris, N.Y.) will patrol left field for the Bears.
Sam has a great arm and will limit a lot of doubles to singles and will make plays at the plate, said Dillabough.
Sophomore Carissa Cornwell (Homer, N.Y.) returns after playing left field last year and will be in the mix for all the positions in the outfield. The sophomore finished with a .207 batting average in 87 at bats with 35 starts last season. Perry and Thayer will also see time in the outfield.
Amanda is an excellent defensive center fielder so she will step in and play. Also, Thayer will see some time in the outfield when she isnt pitching, Dillabough stated.
Sophomore Erin Klettke (Lewiston, N.Y.) provides flexibility in the outfield and will serve as a designated player for the Bears.
Coach Dillabough notes the excitement and energy of his players and the staff. He hopes to translate this energy into a record setting season for Potsdam.
We have a lot of young, excited, and hungry players to go out there and play this year, said Dillabough. It will be a fresh start and it is exciting for me because it is a new team. We have a new sense of energy this year.

I've been tinkering with making the PDF version of the Loose Canon look more Bible-like. Basically, two-columned and serif font. I'm not sure if anyone else things this is worthwhile idea? To show what I mean, I got started by converting the Announcements and the Book of Midgets/Midgits. You can see the PDF here.
I made the PDF by downloading the TeX source for the PDF version of the World English Bible and copying the text from the Loose Canon. I crudely automated tagging the verse numbers and manually inserted the book titles and abbreviated forms. It still needs cleaning (e.g. not all the verse numbers were picked up, it needs page breaks between books) but I did it as a kind of proof-of-concept. The bulk of the work is copying and pasting the text. Thanks to the TeX setup, the cosmetic stuff should be pretty straightforward.
Also, I don't know if using the WEB TeX source is some sort of heinous copyright violation but it seems to be freely distributed.
Let me know what you think. If there's wild support I can break down more thoroughly what I did.

|Small Farms Week Starts Today
|Written by Christie James
|Monday, 26 March 2007 07:07
Don't forget, today launches Small Farms Appreciation Week. According to Watauga County Agricultural Extension Director, Sue Counts, North Carolina boasts one of the largest concentrations of small farms in the nation, and the numbers of small farms are growing, particularly in the High Country.
Join others for a tour of Diane Prices' Farm At Mollie's Branch in Todd today from 10am to 2pm to see a small organic farm in action. Also, to witness how they are supplying the farm's energy with micro-hydroelectric power using streams on the property. Buying local also helps concerve our use of fossil fuels as not as much produce and livestock need to be trucked in from other places. The Watauga County Farmer's Market opens May 5th at the Horn in the West Parking Lot. Contact the Watauga County Extension Office for the names of local farmers who would welcome orders.

Are the 458 monoblocks made of solid gold at 135K/pair?
Finishing Up With Evolution and darTZeel
As John Atkinson and I entered the room at THE Show in which darTZeel electronics partnered Evolution Acoustics loudspeakers, I was immediately struck by the fullness of the midrange. It was as though the system was opening its heart and welcoming us in. That's how warm and nurturing the sound was.
What was especially wonderful was that this system was about far more than midrange. From a very open, clear and realistic top all way down, the darTZeel/Evolution Acoustics system sang true. And beautifully. Very, very beautifully.
First we listened to a favorite audiophile demo, tenor José Carreras singing an excerpt from Ariel Ramirez's Misa Criolla. The air around voices and instruments was as wondrous as the clarity of playback.
Then came something very, very special. But first, a description of the system.
This not exactly bargain-priced system consisted of darTZeel's new NHB-458 monoblocks, whose 1000Wpc will set you back a mere $135,000/pair, and the darTZeel NHB-18 NS reference preamplifier with MC phono section ($29,000). Speakers were the brand-new, just introduced Evolution Acoustics MMtwo loudspeakers ($35,000/pair). Weighing 375 lbs each, these gorgeous babies claim a frequency response of 10Hz40kHz ±3dB, and a sensitivity of 93dB. They also sound marvelous.
The rest of the system comprised Evolution Acoustics' DRSC speaker cables ($5000/pair), the LINK-Reference 50 ohm BNCBNC interconnect ($6000), and PC2One power conditioning power cord ($2000). Playback was from either a Playback Systems MPS-5 Reference SACD/CD player with 24/192 input ($15,000), or the world-premiered Music Servers Direct MSD-1 Reference Music Server ($1995) controlled by an Apple iPod Touch. Other goodies included the Audience Adept Response aR6-T power conditioner ($4600).
Yes, it was an expensive room, filled with equipment I cannot possibly afford. But it's not about me, John, or Stereophile; it's about the music that gives us joy, and the equipment that brings it to us in all its glory.
After the Carreras track, Jonathan Tinn of Evolution Acoustics began telling John how much he loved listening to a track from one of John's recordings, Cantus' While You Are Alive. (Stereophile's newest reviewer, long-time audiophile Erick Lichte, was Music Director of Cantus at the time of the recording and produced the CD). As the conversation grew more animated, I quietly mentioned that I just happened to have the CD with me.
I cannot begin to tell you how it felt to enjoy John's energy as he immersed himself in two tracks from one his finest recordings. What I can tell you was that the sound was little short of heavenly.
On that high, I bid adieu to THE Show and CES 2010. If John, in his talk earlier in the afternoon, both acknowledged the bad year that has past and the good year that he expects to unfold, the Evolution Acoustics/darTZeel demo confirmed that 2011 has the potential to launch a very full, rewarding, and musical decade. With sound like theirs, the admittedly struggling high end gives indications that it is indeed alive and well.
The Show is now so large that it is impossible for any one writer to visit every exhibit. While it was our goal, with six people covering CES and THE Show, for someone to at least make an appearance in each room, (Our apologies if that was not the case.) I regret that I left unable to visit a host of rooms at the top of my list: PrimaLuna, Bel Canto, Peachtree Audio, Kimber, XLO, Pass Labs, PS Audio, Parasound, Simaudio, The Lars, Harbeth, Furutech, Scot Markwell of TheMusic.com, Immedia. . . Then there were all the companies I'd never heard of whose products I wanted to hear. CES had at least 274 high-end audio exhibitors in 206 suites and air-walled conference rooms and THE Show offered another 110 exhibitors; the list of missed opportunities is huge. I never even had the opportunity to hug Marjorie Baumert, who continues to maintain and build the increasingly successful Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in honor of her late husband, Al Stiefel. But we can only do what we can do.
Thanks to all the designers, engineers, manufacturers, reps, and retailers who make CES and THE Show possible. Above all, thanks for giving us the opportunity to enjoy the best that recorded music has to offer.
From all I am told, snake oil is incapable of making music. This equipment does. Beautifully.BTW, has anyone checked the excellent Wikipedia discussion of snake oil? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_oil. As it turns out, snake oil is a bonafide traditional medicine in China. Some of the put down came out of competition from makers of patent medicines. Others came from the lack of understanding that not all snakes, and hence not all snake oils, are equally potent. My God, the analogy to the sound of different cables is apt after all!!!
While this kind of products sells (and they do), they will continue to exists. In this times of recession, more than ever, this target are the most profitable and does not show decreases in sales (in contrary). Therefor ...
Why only $135,000 why not $157,000 since they just make up numbers. Even people who have this kind of dough, to buy anything like this, they would still be better to think and buy stuff that ain't being sold at the absurdity levels. No audio amplifier can possibly justify this. $5,000 wires, yeah, really push the stick in harder and twist! Would love to be at the meetings of these companies as they laugh it up, when they sell one of these setups, and they drive home in a car that costs less, with much more technology in it, and does more. It's like teh price of a diamond, all made up contrived. Isn't this th ecompany that handed out teh miswired CD only player, that had a sticker of $27K? Guess the factory where it's made didn't get teh message of teh sale price, they figured they where making a $500 Cd player? What was even more disturbing, that MF and his hearing, didn't know it was out of phase! JA MEASURED and showed the $27K CD player was defective! Wonder what defects are in $135,000 speakers

The verbal diarrhea coming out of some folks is astounding...But has anyone heard the NHB-458 in this room and has an honest opinion about its sound? Could this room compete with the best sound of the show? Hats off to Herve and his team in pushing the envelope towards the ultimate and for that they may be awarded a handsome return. That's the way our world works...but that's too difficult for some people to comprehend.
Verbal diarrhea perhaps, but please observe the following:Krell Evo One: 60.000 $/pairMark Levinson 53: 50.000 $/pairVTL Siegfried: 40.000 $/pairMaybe I just don't have enough $, however, I would chose any of the above any time and save the rest for new speakers. An absolutely absurd price on those 458 monos!
George asked "Isn't this the company that handed out the miswired CD only player, that had a sticker of $27K?" No, that was a Zanden. This Playback, darTZeel, and Evolution components feature some serious (and yes, expensive) audio engineering. And as expensive as the darTZeel amplifiers admittedly are, this room was perhaps the best-sounding I heard in Las Vegas, though the much less expensive EAR/Marten Getz system got close for much less money.
Jason writes: "It's about the music that gives us joy, and the equipment that brings it to us in all its glory."Actually, it's pretty much all about the equipment. Even this fancy getup will not bring us the music in ALL its glory. That still remains the sole domain of live music, and the quarter mil or so that this system costs is more than enough to pay for live concerts everyday for the rest of your life. Such systems-and I'm not singling this one out as CES was full of them-are so far out of the realm of "value for dollar" that the whole thing has turned into a tiny niche of a tiny niche. Yet for all its expense, you're still looking at a 7" 2 way WTW design + sub with a passive Xover. Hardly SOTA in technical terms, and certainly not the ultimate in dynamic range. It's a self fulfilling prophecy. Make something expensive enough and few people will buy it. And when so few customers are available, the only option for making money is to charge a fortune for it. Such is the "High End" of today.
why do some of you guys indulge in this self-torture and then torture the rest of us with your "verbal diarrhea". please go read someone else's blogs and torture them with your whining. yes, its expensive, its a hobby, get over it. i have heard this exact setup with the exception that it is the stereo amp, not the monos, but with the addition of the top subs (same as the bottoms)and using a very fine turntable, in a custom room many times. it never fails to thrill and excite. counting the room and the treatments, it is probably the cost of a very decent house. my friend can afford it, it makes him happy, its how he chooses to spend his money, so what. i do the best i can with my system and enjoy it too. some would say i have spent crazy money too. again, so what. its my money, its what i like. don't whine to the rest of us who enjoy reading about such things. if i never own any of the items in that room, so what. guys, take a pill or better yet, get a life.
You may count me in with the whining guys, but I had really hoped for a more "fair" price on the 458. I have listened to the NHB 108 on several occasions and I really like the sound. I do, however, need more power, which is why I was looking forward to the introduction of the 458. Now I will probably look elsewhere i.e. Gryphon or Pass Labs. I wonder if the r&d on the 458 can justify the price of this golden piece of esoteric hi-fi jewelry. I guess some people just don't ask themselves these questions.
An amplifiers that cost more than a Porche Carrera or a ZR-1 Corvette. It's not about the music. It's creating an exclusive product that will make a lot of money for the company selling the prestige. It isn't going to sound any different than a Krell or Audio Research or a Levinson. The difference is the price tag and the look on the faces at the party the rich guy tells them the price. The targeted customers are the corporate execs from AIG or B of A or Morgan Stanley. If the editors of Stereophile think this is worthy then hey, we should think they haven't been paying attention to the last 3 years. Over consumption and greed has made our country a 3 world nation and catering to it just prolongs the myth. The people who say don't whine need to smell the coffee. The folks who call it snake oil have it about right.
Thank you Jason and John for visiting our room and for all your kind words. I too was incredibly moved when Cantus was played.I do understand why many feel, at first glance, that the darTZeel NHB-458 is too expensive. I was disappointed when Hervé Deletraz told me what the price would be. I think he was as well. We realize that it will appeal to a very small market and for him it is a statement product that is incredibly expensive to produce.When I first saw the amplifiers I was surprised at how much better they looked in person. Upon inspection I saw what went into building them. Every part that goes into these amplifiers down to the screws is manufactured specifically for darTZeel at an economy of scale that makes it incredibly expensive to produce. I started understanding the cost. Sonically, I could not be happier with them, I just wish they were more affordable.I also want to thank Steve Dobbins for providing his wonderful turntables as well as Wave Kinetics for their vibration control systems!
No "whining" here. I'd love to own a very, very costly system, say, priced dearer than a black market kidney, but the plain truth is I haven't robbed enough American taxpayers, bought enough politicians, humiliated enough employees, crashed enough currencies or created sufficient hordes of hopeless debtors to do so yet. Trust me, I'm working on it. On all fronts. You DarTZeel guys: as Walt Whitman once spake to his prostitute, "I charge you that you be patient and perfect till I come."
When STEREOPHILE decides to become about AUDIO again, all this glitz and shelf ornaments won't be looked at. Right...every SCREW was made just for this amplifier. Are you guys ASSuming everyone is an idiot? If that is the reason it's such an inefficient mfg' operation, they need to hire better people that know how to produce and purchase supplies. Because these companies are so bad at mfg' they want to profit from it? A new business plan for the next decade, brilliant. the speakers have miniature drivers, useless to produce lifelike reproduction. Smarter people, know how to get better sound for much less. Professional systems, cost far less, and work better. Stereophile magazine needs to stop pushing this stuff as high end audio. This is not about audio, it's about insanity, glitzy case work, and savy marketing to people with money, but no knowledge of AUDIO. JA and crew are the Martha Stewart of audio products lately, no substance, all glitz. Dried flower baskets for $10,000.
Wow, the whining continues. For all the whiners out there, can you please describe "your" systems so that the rest of us can have a taste of "your" sonic nirvana? I think this high end audio gear is fantastic. Not everyone's cup of tea but a hobby none the less. And don't diss the Stereophile crew. They only report on gear just like the writers over at Road & Track covering Ferrari's to Chevy's.
MR TINN of AA - why don't you take the challenge of having your next showing with some more lower-priced american gear showing that your speakers can get it done with less..given the reasonably pricing approach that your company appears to follow
There are 2 things puzzling me about all those who are complaining about the high prices of some of the products we have reported on in this year's CES coverage. First, there are many stories on affordable products in this report, but no-one is thanking us for mentioning them or even posting comments. Second, I just don't get the atmosphere of entitlement that those complaining project. It has always been the case that very best-performing audio components are expensive. If you can't afford those components, so what? There are many, many components available for less that get close to the ultimate in sound quality. Or is it that your own sense of self-worth demands that you have the best but as you can't afford the best, you spend your days in a cloud of anger and resentment?
JA wrote: "there are many stories on affordable products in this report, but no-one is thanking us for mentioning them or even posting comments."Not quite true. While I neglected to explicitly thank JVS and Stereophile for the report on the Dynaudio room, I think you will see some "positive" comments regarding the "real world" Dynaudio system that a middle class person can aspire to own:http://blog.stereophile.com/ces2010/dynaudios_little_dynamo/The "problem" (if there is one) is that the manufacturers are only showing mega $$ systems, perhaps to garner attention for having the "best sound". Even Vandersteen was showing their $45K speaker in the context of top shelf Aesthetix or Ayre electronics rather than their better known and more affordable models (I was hoping they'd show the new, middle-class accessible Trio). Stereophile might modify this trend by including more accolades for real world systems - as was done by JVS in his Dynaudio report.
I visited this room in person, and can verify that this was one of the best of the show. I requested that they demo my DCC Gold disc of "Venus and Mars," and the sound was nothing short of astounding. The staff and designer couldn't have been more gracious. Frankly, I don't mind the reporting on the high end, as it shows where the state of the art is headed. Eventually it trickles down to more affordable designs over time. And heck, if I could afford it, I'd take that system home in a heartbeat.As for mid-price systems, the Mystere pre and power amp were superb, and the Usher Mini-One Diamonds were incredible for clarity and detail. The Soundsmith components were warm and well-sorted - their system had a certain magic, and made us all stay and enjoy the music. All were great values for the money.
Zead: What would you like to hear the Evolution Acoustics with? Frankly speaking, most gear is less expensive than the new darTZeel NHB-458s :) Last year we showed with a reference darTZeel integated amplifier and had wonderful sound as well. That amplifier with built in preamplifier and phonostage was a fraction of the price of the monoblocks. Wes Phillips called it "jaw-droppingly real". Please realize that I chose darTZeel because I proudly import their products and they are the best I have heard. As a manufacturer, you try to put your products with the best you know. If an American amplifier manufacturer would like to use a pair of Evolution Acoustics for CES, all they have to do is ask. I have heard ARC, BAT, Rowland, LAMM, Manley, VAC, VTL and many others with our loudspeakers and they all sounded wonderful. But, there really is a lot of politics that go into putting a group of manufacturers together for an exhibition. I happen to really enjoy the people I exhibit with. That means a lot to me.
Mr. Tinn: I enjoyed your response. I have the pleasure of listening to the system of a friend of mine with a similar setup to the show as he kindly ivites me over every few weeks to share some music. I can say that it is magnificent. I second the earlier poster who said that he would take it home if he could. I do not see any disconnect between my enjoyment of such a system and my inability to afford same. Look at cars. In the mid 80s, the only cars with airbags and ABS were expensive Europeans. Today, this is old news. Remember the engines of the 80s, didn't think so, who would want to. Again, the Europeans were the only ones with any performance (Corvette excluded). Now we have 300 HP 6 cylinder family sedans. Like it or not, we must have makers such as DZ and EA pushing the envelope and showing us what is possible. In 20 years, this system will be old news too (but still sound great I am sure). These products even used will never be cheap, but some of use will be able to have them.
bwright: I hope you are right that the design of the 458 trickles down to a more affordable one. As stated above, I have listened to the NHB-108 several times and absolutely love the sound. However, the power of the 108 is slightly insufficient for my needs. What we need is an 108 redesigned as a monoblock or perhaps a downscaled 458, as when Levinson came out with the no. 33H as a downscaled version of the no. 33.

By E. IVAN WHITEGuest columnist
For many years I have enjoyed the archaeological treasures of southern Utah, and especially the rock art of Nine Mile Canyon. After I moved to Price I renewed my acquaintance with Nine Mile Canyon and I was appalled to find Nine Mile (toward Cottonwood Canyon) full of dust and industrial traffic. I soon found out that drilling for natural gas had already started above Cottonwood Canyon without an environmental impact statement under a provision of the the energy plan passed in Washington, D.C.
In late 2005 the Nine Mile Coalition began to hear complaints about the traffic in the canyon especially as regards speed and dust. Myself and another member (Steve Tanner) of the coalition went up in the area of the Great Hunt Panel with a radar gun and a camera to check on the traffic situation. We found that most of the industrial traffic was violating the posted speed limit and I took many pictures of vehicles with dust clouds that you could not see through. In fact, after we spent the day out there the dust was so bad that I had to use my rescue inhaler because I felt my lungs tightening up.
During that time we also washed the dust off some areas that were close to rock art so we could look at the affect of the dust deposition on the rock. We took some glass plates with us and we also set those out.
We didn't get back out in the canyon for about three months (this was over the winter) and since this was the rainy season I thought that the washed places would be easy to see since the rain should keep the dust down.
But we found that if we had not photographed the washed places we would not have been able to find them. The glass plates were covered with dust and the one in the area of the Great Hunt Panel was the worst.
At the time we went back and looked at the panels there were fewer vehicles exceeding the speed limit but the dust plumes were still there. It was clear that the size of the trucks was such that the dust problem was going to be with us regardless of the speed. We followed three liquid carbon dioxide trucks going down to Harmon Canyon and the dust was terrible. Magnesium chloride had been put on the road in places but if the road surface is not firm enough, the mag chloride does no good since the sand is pounded into dust immediately and the mag chloride becomes airborne with the dust..
I wanted to get a traffic count so I went back out to the mouth of Harmon Canyon and climbed up on the hillside opposite the entrance and took pictures while I counted industrial traffic. From 10:30 am to 2:30 pm I counted over 60 trucks and estimate, using some data from Gate Canyon, that there was probably 100 industrial vehicles at that point in a 24 hour period. There were 20 tourist vehicles at that point during that time but they contributed very little to the dust because of their smaller size and slower speed as they looked for rock art.
In my opinion if one of those multiple truck convoys came by it could be very dangerous for the tourists because of the reduced visibility. The industrial users of the road did water it for an hour while I was there, but within an hour the dust was back.
On another trip I went to the mouth of Gate Canyon and counted and photographed the traffic at that point from 8:30 a.m. to noon. I counted over 60 vehicles while I was there, some of them were semi's convoying, especially the carbon dioxide trucks. There was no watering that I saw while I was there and no watering up at the Great Hunt Panel either. When I did my count at Harmon Canyon I counted 25 vehicles after noon and using that information, I would say that 100 vehicles passed there in the 24 hour period. With those being round trips for each vehicle that would add up to 200 trips.
Over the last two years sightseer cars have become less and less as the word spreads about the traffic in the canyon.
We did get the BLM to require a dust study to be done but that ended up in controversy since only the preliminary report was included in Appendix G of the Draft EIS. We obtained a copy of the final lab report and it is clear that the magnesium chloride used on the road is also on the rock surfaces and a water sample shows that it went into the Nine Mile Creek. The dust study did not look at dust concentrations which was for me was frustrating since my specialty has been the transport and impact of pollutants on the public for almost 40 years.
The coalition paid for a portable laser particle detector which enabled us to do a preliminary study of dust concentrations from traffic in the canyon. The particle counter reads out in particles per cubic foot/100 but the readings can be converted to compare to the EPA limits. However for a preliminary study a comparison with area particle counts should be sufficient. In Price the counter shows 10,000 particles/cubic foot. In Nine Mile Canyon with no vehicles passing by the counter it shows 300,000 particles/cubic foot. With 80,000 pound liquid carbon dioxide trucks passing by counter reads 3,000,000 particles per cubic foot. (This is 100 percent opacity, i.e., you can't see anything).
The problem with the dust is not just from an individual truck but from the massive industrial traffic when the full field development happens. Carbon Count did a 24 hour count of traffic in the canyon when two drill rigs were operating and found that there were 340 vehicles mostly within 12 hours. The draft EIS says there will be 575 vehicles at peak development (which is nine drill rigs). We have done other counts and I estimate that the peak traffic will be over 1200 vehicles in 12 hours time. At times there will probably be two trucks a minute in the canyon. The diesel pollution from those trucks will add to the high concentrations of dust.
In addition the 10 compressors at the Dry Canyon Compressor Station will add their pollution to the dust and the truck diesel fumes. The BLM has never accounted for the impact of the Dry Canyon compressor station in any NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) document and does not model the pollution from the station which sits in a deep canyon that has strong inversions which hold the dust, the diesel and the compressor effluents close to the ground.
The synergistic effect of this type of situation is discussed in an scientific publication by George D. Liekauf entitled "Hazardous Air Pollutants and Asthma" (Environmental Health Perspectives, Vol 110 (Supplement 4), August 2002.
He says that complex mixtures of hazardous air pollution may exacerbate asthma. After one of my talks I received an email from a man with COPD and he told how he had to use oxygen on his last trip in the canyon.
The stack at the Dry Canyon station is washed off when the pollution gets to be too apparent. The chemical effect of the air pollutants on the rock art is not known since the study was so inadequate, but you can already see the rock art being obscured by the dust deposited on the rock surfaces. Any rock art not exposed to the rain will eventually disappear over the 30 years of this project.
My conclusions from all of the above is that the industrial traffic from the BBC project will most likely destroy a unique archaeological treasure. The dust will cover the rock art over the years, the tourists will abandon the canyon because of the health hazards (respiratory and accident hazards) and the lost solitude. Numerous tourists have already complained about the traffic. To no avail, the Hopi have commented numerous times that the traffic and dust threaten their cultural sites in the canyon. Draft EIS Section 5.12, pg 5-36, states that all of the alternatives would result in the loss of important cultural resources. This is a violation of the NEPA and numerous other federal laws protecting antiquities and Indian sacred places.
There has been essentially no monitoring or enforcement by BBC or the BLM so regardless of any promises or requirements in the coming EIS, they will not be honored based on the record of the gas drilling over the last four years.
None of this needs to happen since all that is needed to save the canyon is approximately five miles of bypass road that would take all the traffic out of the main canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. On the West Tavaputs there will be 180 miles of road for this project. In the draft EIS the BLM has eliminated any bypass road alternatives without any proof that they were not feasible. This is a violation of NEPA where no "reasonable alternative" can be eliminated without supporting justification.

Hi! I have a very random question (that I should probably know the answer to). Do you rinse the raw basmati before adding it to the crock pot? Thanks!

Hi anon, I'm not a rice rinser, but I know many are. If you typically rinse rice, you should here, too! it will not change the outcome.

I love the looks of that recipe and intend to try it soon. I don't think I use my slow cooker as much as you do, but I'm getting braver all the time.

I wonder if you could add a couple of frozen chicken breasts to this and make it a meal, or if the rice would be overcooked since you would probably have to cook it longer.
- October 6, 2010 at 3:48 PM

Hi Kimberly,
I wonder about that, too. The chicken gives off liquid while cooking, so I think the ratios will be off. I do have a chicken and brown rice casserole recipe that you could use for liquid:rice ratio.
if you give it a go, please report back!
- October 6, 2010 at 3:51 PM
Ooo, this is great...love flavored rice, but the packaged stuff is pretty horrible. Betcha could add curry powder in place of the Italian seasoning and half coconut milk for half the chicken broth for a different take...mmmm

This looks GOOD! I am SO bad at making rice, I need to try this! Thanks!

The City of Portland's Citywide Equity Committee (CEC) was established on September 12, 2012 by resolution No. 36956 which affirmed:
Equity goes beyond diversity in that it requires an intentional examination of systemic policies and practices from both a historic and present day perspective.
The City recognizes that in order to achieve equity throughout this institution, a well coordinated effort between bureaus and the office of City Council members is necessary.
The renaming of the City Diversity Development Committee (CDC) to the Citywide Equity Committee.
The CEC will be charged with the development and oversight for an equity strategic plan.
The City of Portland conducts business with the public in a racially equitable manner and empowers its employees to create, support, and champion racial equity in their own bureaus and throughout the City.
In collaboration and coordination with Office of Equity and Human Rights (OEHR), the Citywide Equity Committee (CEC) will facilitate, coordinate, and lead a citywide effort to shift internal City culture by promoting the recognition and removal of racially inequitable policies and practices.
Why Focus on Institutional Racism?
Institutional racism refers to organizational policies, practices, and programs that work to the benefit of white people and the detriment of people of color, usually unintentionally.
A focused effort to address persistent racial disparities allows us to make more significant progress than if we were to address disparities across multiple identity lines simultaneously.
Racially equitable programs, policies, and practices benefit all of us, not just people of color.
The Citywide Equity Committee meets on the third Thursday of each month from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Meetings are held at the Office of Equity and Human Rights - 421 SW 6th Avenue Suite 500 Portland, OR 97204. These meetings are not open to the public.
The CEC is staffed by the Office of Equity and Human Rights. If you have questions or comments, contact: Email Kenya Budd or call 503.823.4427

Map & Directions
wombat's CITY HOSTEL is located in a small side street next to the Hauptbahnhof (main train station).
First of all: get off the train. Gnhn! Then, with the platforms in the back, quickly take the right exit out of the ugliest building in town onto Bayerstrasse. Cross the road, take a left and then turn into the first street on the right: Senefelder Strasse. Aim for the second house on the left side and look out for our banners saying...wombat's. (REALLY?!)
From the airport:
Take S-Bahn lines S1 or S8 to the main train station 'Hauptbahnhof' (the journey takes app. 45 minutes or 82.365 eye blinks), where you will find yourself in a maze of underground passages. Look for the exit to 'Bayerstrasse Ost'. After the escalator spits you onto the pavement, make a U-turn, cross Bayerstrasse, turn left and then first right into Senefelder Strasse. wombat's is the second house on the left. Still. -grin-

LISBON Cars lined up at Lisbon Beach and Campground to see 75 blazing Christmas light displays for the last time Sunday, as Lights on the River celebrated its final night.
The event ran every night from Dec. 15-23. More than 3,000 cars visited the camp despite a few days of bad weather, along with a tour bus, a hayride and a couple limousines.
Lights on the River has grown every year since starting in 2010. It began with only 25 displays, but this year 75 families, businesses and nonprofit organizations created their own additions to the spectacle.
Scott A Wilhelm, president of Lights on the River, said the growth will likely continue next year. The camp is renovating a large piece of land, which will give the show more room in 2013.
The more people we have, the more good we can do and the more fun it will be, Mr. Wilhelm said.
Entrance to Lights on the River is free, but attendees are encouraged to donate money or food items, all of which will be sent to area food pantries.
The group had raised $11,000 as of Sunday, with a full night of visitors left to go.
The elaborate light display drew people from far and wide. Several Canadians, seeing a giant Christmas tree from across the St. Lawrence River, drove across the bridge just to fulfill their curiosity.
We have people who drive through, theyll be here night after night said volunteer Amy M. Fortin.
Lights on the River was inspired by Liverpools annual Lights on the Lake event. Organization president Scott A. Wilhelm began organizing the show with his family and friends when he moved back home to Lisbon after living two years in Liverpool.
It started out with six friends sitting at a table, said Scotts father, Henry C. Wilhelm, who oversees the grounds.
Visitors and a team of judges picked their favorite displays to win a blue ribbon.
The winning display was a Yuletide pirate ship captained by Santa and crewed by piratical penguins, created by the Brander family.
The second-place prize went to the Joanette family, of Ogdensburg, who created a display in memorial of George S. Joanette Sr., who died of a heart attack several months ago.
Mr. Joanette was survived by 11 children and 14 grandchildren.
He was the glue that held the whole family together, said George S. Joanette Jr.
Lights on the River may be over, but the work is not. Mr. Wilhelm and his team will spend the next week taking down the displays, Then, it is time to start preparing for next years event.
Were already planning the fourth annual, Mrs. Fortin said. We work year round.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — One firefighter was taken to the hospital during a blaze at the city's highway department building Monday morning.
According to Deputy Chief Bruce Kilmer, the fire began on the upper floors around 9 a.m.
While attempting to knock down the flames, one firefighter sustained a burn on his neck. He was transported to Berkshire Medical Center for Treatment. No other injuries were reported.
As of 11 a.m., the fire was still burning but was mostly contained.
"The major body of the fire is down. We're just working hard to get in there at this time," Kilmer said of the fire that was smoldering in the attic.
"It's just a hard fire to get at," he said.
