A suspected shoplifter attempted Tuesday night to avoid detection by taking an employees exit at Great American Food Store, 672 State St., according to Watertown police.
It didnt work.
Rodney H. Pierce, 46, of 522 Emerson St., Apt. 8, was arrested at 9:45 p.m. on charges of petit larceny and third-degree criminal trespass and, in an unrelated incident, second-degree aggravated harassment. An ex-convict, he was detained for arraignment in City Court.
Police said Mr. Pierce was carrying beer and a steak, together priced at $15.38, when he entered the employees-only sector at the rear of the store. The third count stems from an alleged threatening telephone message left for Tina M. Monica, 40, of 380 Brainard St., on Monday afternoon, police said.
Mr. Pierce was discharged from a state prison in December 2006 after serving about 2� years for second-degree criminal contempt, attempted assault, resisting arrest and violating probation. The contempt conviction also involved Ms. Monica.

Decreased soil water availability can stimulate production of the plant hormone ethylene and inhibit plant growth. Strategies aimed at decreasing stress ethylene evolution might attenuate its negative effects.
An environmentally benign (nonchemical) method of modifying crop ethylene relations - soil inoculation with a natural root-associated bacterium Variovorax paradoxus 5C-2 (containing the enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase that degrades the ethylene precursor ACC), was assessed with pea (Pisum sativum) plants grown in drying soil.
Inoculation with V. paradoxus 5C-2, but not with a transposome mutant with massively decreased ACC deaminase activity, improved growth, yield and water-use efficiency of droughted peas. Systemic effects of V. paradoxus 5C-2 included an amplified soil drying-induced increase of xylem abscisic acid (ABA) concentration, but an attenuated soil drying-induced increase of xylem ACC concentration. A local bacterial effect was increased nodulation by symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which prevented a drought-induced decrease in nodulation and seed nitrogen content.
Successfully deploying a single bacterial gene in the rhizosphere increased yield and nutritive value of plants grown in drying soil, via both local and systemic hormone signalling. Such bacteria may provide an easily realized, economic means of sustaining crop yields and using irrigation water more efficiently in dryland agriculture.

With radical U.S. government and United Nations schemes such as "sustainable development" and UN Agenda 21 being quietly implemented across America at all levels of government under a variety of names and pretexts, lawmakers in the Oklahoma House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly this week for legislation to protect the unalienable rights to private property and due process in the state. The "Oklahoma Community Protection Act," which would nullify Agenda 21 and other outside assaults on individual rights in the state, now goes to the Oklahoma Senate.
HB 2807, which comes on the heels of other state-led efforts to protect private property in recent years, was approved by a vote of 66 in favor and 26 against in the state House. Conservative and liberty-minded activists across the state are now working to ensure that the popular bill makes it through the state Senate. Similar legislation protecting the rights of Oklahomans from UN and federal assault was held up in committee last year by Sen. Cliff Branan, who is now running for the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.
"It is very important for states to re-assert their sovereignty and protect the rights of citizens from intrusive and oppressive measures coming down from the federal government and even international organizations like the UN," Oklahoma Rep. Mike Ritze, a strong supporter of the measure, told The New American. "The states operated for two centuries quite well on their own, so what we are doing now is taking back our rightful powers and ensuring that Oklahomans can continue to live in freedom under constitutionally limited government without outside unconstitutional intervention."
If approved by the state Senate and signed into law by Republican Governor Mary Fallin, the law would set stiff penalties for violations of citizens' property rights by officials. It would also nullify any anti-constitutional federal or international infringements on private property or due process in the state. "This bill protects your private property from being acquired by eminent domain without a public vote or public hearing," added state Rep. Lewis Moore, one of the legislation's House sponsors.
Supporters of the legislation, less than three pages long, say it would have a powerful impact in terms of protecting individual rights and state sovereignty from external or internal infringement. "Any attempt to restrict private property rights without due process of law shall be deemed null and void per the Oklahoma Constitution and the United States Constitution," the bill explains, giving property owners strong language to rely on in cases of lawless activities by officials and bureaucrats.

First came weakness, nausea and disorientation. She repeatedly fell down the stairs at her Norman office. Then came stiffness. Her right leg sometimes dragged. Her right arm tightened up so that it was difficult to move. Her right thumb developed a tremor.

Is anyone else starting to get the many variations of Samsung Galaxy cell phone lineup mixed up? Clearly banking on the strong brand name, Samsung is preening over its revamped Galaxy Ace, the oh so originally named Galaxy Ace Plus. As stated by JK Shin, President of IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics in the latest addition's press release, "In 2012, we will continue to make every effort to create an easy and fun mobile experience by expanding our incredibly popular GALAXY smartphone line of business, which is now one of the most recognized and successful mobile brands in the world." This is a remarkably true statement when considering the success of the Android's flagship smartphone... we are also hoping that perhaps 2012 will see similar success with Samsung Galaxy tablet releases.
The Galaxy Ace plus is touted to be a more budget friendly mobile device, it does not appear to be a tech junkie's preferred handset. Using last year's minimum specs - 1GHz processor, 5 MP camera, and 3GB memory. Enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and glider gloves all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
Despite Android's release of its latest OS – Ice Cream Sandwich, this Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus smartphone still has the tried and true combo of Gingerbread OS and TouchWiz. Moreover Samsung is marketing the Galaxy ace Plus to trendy young professional who are chomping at the bit for ICS. Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative protection solutions... stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
Something else to consider is that despite the increased screen size the resolution is actually worsened as the pixel density is decreased. This less than revolutionary device will be made available in Russia starting this month. After that launch, the newest Galaxy handset will be roll out to Europe, CIS, Latin America, Southeast and Southwest Asia, the Middle East, Africa and China. Whether this new addition will be made available in these markets as an unlocked device is unknown at the moment or when it will be brought to North American shores.

Brunch is a meal of passion. With fierce debates raging as to which SF restaurant's brunch is best. Zazie elegantly steps to the forefront of the SF weekend morning meal scene, and seals the deal with delectable eggs benedict and a selection of mimosas, along with house specials like gingerbread pancakes, Challah French Toast, and incredible seasonal specialties.
Dogs are welcome at the sidewalk tables.
"Get a Benedict dish and have a friend get a pancake/french toast dish (I suggest the gingerbread pancakes) and split! They offer these dishes as 1, 2, or 3 options so makes it easy to share."
"Worth the wait! Great for vegetarians. "
"Get there early, sit on the patio and order the La Mer, Gingerbread pancakes, or go with the special. Amazing place - all brunch items are great!"
Bask in Cole Valley's sunshine on Zazie's back patio over a fine French-inspired brunch. Sip mimosas and restore spirits while recounting the weekend's (mis)adventures, then head out for new ones in the Haight or Golden Gate Park.
Because of the sweet decor and tempting, double-sided menu, Zazie has become a quintessential destination for "ladies who brunch;" if you need more convincing, just check out the crowd waiting for a table on sunny Saturdays. A charmingly quaint garden patio dotted with yellow umbrellas tops off the Parisian feel, and thanks to strategically placed heaters, it's actually functional. Who can resist the lure of outdoor dining, even with San Francisco's stubborn temperatures?
Zazie makes its pancakes the old-fashioned way, with real butter, and real buttermilk. There are daily changing "miracle" pancakes, which flop with the kitchen's mood: from sour cream poppyseed to bread pudding and more. The menu's signature gingerbread rendition, topped with poached pears and a generous ooze of lemon curd are a Zazie original that won't do you wrong.

MADRID Blake S. Barkley is waiting to find out if a hamburger will be his ticket to national celebrity.
Mr. Barkley, 24, of Norfolk, is pit master and cook at his family-owned Ole Smokehouse at 3512 County Route 14. He recently submitted a recipe for a hamburger for a contest on the nationally syndicated Rachael Ray Show in New York City. Ms. Ray also hosts a cooking show and is a best-selling author.
The burger was a hit.
They called in mid-October and we discussed the story behind the burger, Mr. Barkley said. The segment coordinator explained that I was in the top five for contestants. The top three would get to be on the Rachael Ray Show and that if I was chosen I would get a call back in a few weeks.
The son of Stephen and Robin Barkley of Norfolk entered the contest somewhat tentatively.
A coworker, Megan Finnegan, told Mrs. Barkley about the burger contest on the Rachel Ray Show, he said. My mom entered a burger of her own and told me that I should enter one as well.
Mind you, its not just any burger.
I wanted to come up with something that no one had done before, Mr. Barkley said. My friend Josh Hollenbeck and I were working on a roof and came up with the burger that I submitted to the Rachael Ray Show. It was taste-tested first by Josh when he came in for lunch a few days after we came up with this creation. It was delicious.
Mr. Barkleys burger is called The Spicy Hollenbeck. The eight-ounce ground beef burger is topped with shredded chicken in a bleu cheese hot sauce, fried haystacked onions, fried jalapeno peppers, Cajun ranch dressing and a slice of American cheese. It is served on toasted jalapeno cornbread.
Mr. Barkley chose cooking as a profession tentatively as well.
I wasnt really interested in cooking growing up, he said. It wasnt until my parents opened the Ole Smokehouse in 2008 that I really thought about being a cook. I tried it and have really enjoyed it ever since.
Mr. Barkley was aware of the Glens Falls-born Rachel Ray.
I dont personally watch her show that much, but my mom watches it every day, he said. I catch it at the restaurant in the mornings sometimes.
Maternal guidance, Mr. Barkley added, has never been too far away.
For cooking, my mother is an inspiration to me because she has taught me most of what I know about the trade, he said.

MORRISTOWN – A Gouverneur man is worried about the safety of his family after he claims he was threatened by a Hammond man who burned a cross and threatened to lynch him.
Ryann A. Wilson burned a cross and threatened to lynch Nigel A. Spahr, a black man and 2007 Morristown Central School graduate,at roughly 10:30 p.m. April 29, according to court documents.
After more than a month of alleged increasing intimidation, Mr. Spahr, fearing for the lives of his family and friends, reported Mr. Wilson, 28, of 3 Shady Lawn Drive, Hammond, to the police.
He is currently being held in county jail on $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond bail.
The night of the cross-burning was also Mr. Spahrs birthday and he and several friends had gathered for a bonfire at Katelyn Perrettas apartment at 5 Shady Lawn Drive.
Wilson and Lucas Goldie, another Morristown graduate, were walking past Ms. Perrettas apartment and Mr. Spahr, a friend of Mr. Goldie, invited him over.
But Wilson, who has had frequent disputes with Ms. Perrettas landlord, Daniel C. Snyder, was told it would be best if he didnt join the party.
I told Ryann not to come over, Mr. Spahr said, at which point Mr. Wilson, upset at being left out, began driving first his dirt bike and then his tractor up and down his driveway, near where the bonfire was taking place.
Then [Mr. Wilson] came back and told me he was going to hang me by a noose, Mr. Spahr said, adding that Mr. Wilson then called him by a racial slur and walked away.
Eventually Mr. Spahr decided to call it a night and went inside to sleep when he was told by a friend to look outside.
I peek my head out the door and there was a burning cross on [Mr. Wilsons] property, Mr. Spahr said.
Initially Mr. Spahr, a resident of Gouverneur where he lives with his one and two-year old children, attempted to ignore the incident.
But as the weeks wore on it became apparent that Mr. Wilsons threats were not a one-time occurrence, Mr. Spahr said.
Ever since the night of the cross its just been constant, Ms. Perretta said.
She lives next-door to Wilson and has her five and seven year-olds living with her. He was yelling... outside of my house. Its just ongoing nonsense.
Around May 29 Mr. Spahr was walking through Gouverneur to a store when Mr. Wilson pulled up alongside him and started talking about the incident, claiming that Mr. Spahr had insulted his girlfriend.
Mr. Spahr said he denied ever saying anything like that, but he apologized to Wilson for any confusion.
Wilson invited Mr. Spahr to take it out back.
The final straw came on June 7 when Wilson allegedly parked a Casella dumpster directly in front of Ms. Perrettas apartment door.
Right after he put the garbage can I went to the police. I realized it wasnt going to stop, Mr. Spahr said.
Its saying that they are trash, Mr. Snyder said of the move, explaining that, in his opinion, the dumpster was put there because Ms. Perretta associates with a black man. It is a racial thing.
Ms. Perretta said in an email that Wilson kept yelling things about us being trash so it belonged there.
Wilson was arrested on Friday and is being charged with setting a cross on fire in public view while hurling racial slurs at Mr. Spahr – a class E felony.
Whats the next thing? Is he going to kill somebody next? Mr. Snyder said.
The dumpster is still sitting on the lawn next to Ms. Perrettas door. Because Wilsons property extends nearly to Ms. Perrettas apartment, Casella wont remove the dumpster.
That customer is a paying customer; he has been paying his bills, a Casella customer service representative said of Wilson on Monday.
Mr. Snyder said its outrageous that Casella wont remove the dumpster given that its location is creating a fire hazard at Ms. Perrettas apartment.
The [money] theyre going to make per month [off the dumpster] is worth more than the lives in the house, Mr. Snyder said.
Sheriff Kevin M. Wells said the cross-burning was an isolated event. Its not something that occurs here.
Mr. Spahr said he is interested in ensuring Wilson doesnt menace my family.

April 18-24, 2010, is National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week.
Laboratory staff at Castleview Hospital care for patients every day by performing tests that save lives, keep people healthy, and get results. What we, as laboratory professionals, do is more than just a job. It's a mission. When a loved one becomes sick, getting better is the only goal. Pathologists know that an accurate diagnosis is the first step and key on the path back to wellness.
Acting as the Castleview Hospital laboratory medical director since 1994 I ensure the compatibility and safety of blood transfusions, direct and promote programs minimizing the risk of hospital acquired infections and act as a consultant to primary care physicians and other allied healthcare specialists regarding complex medical problems and recommend the most timely, cost effective and accurate methods for patient diagnosis and treatment. Pathologists also provide surgeons, radiologists and other physicians intraoperative and emergency consultations onsite, via the telephone, as well as with real time telepathology for the immediate microscopic diagnosis of acute leukemia and other life threatening malignancies and infections around the clock using a microscope and sometimes digital technology.
Every day, work in hospital and pathology laboratories contributes to 70-80 percent of the information needed for precise diagnosis and personalized treatment. As a physician who specializes in pathology, I diagnose cancer. I urge men and women to schedule regular cancer screenings with their family physician; early detection can and does save lives.
Although signs and symptoms of a cancer may certainly be suggested by a doctor's careful physical exam, blood and urine tests and/or radiology studies (x-rays, CT or an MRI scans), such findings do not prove or disprove the existence of cancer nor do they accurately classify it for therapy. That's where a pathologist comes in who definitively confirms the diagnosis and classifies the malignancy by microscopic analysis of a tissue biopsy or fluid sample using a microscope.
To help you and your family members remember to schedule life-saving screening tests, I encourage you to visit www.MyHealthTestReminder.org to sign up for a free and confidential email message from the College of American Pathologists reminding you to get appropriate cancer screening tests. Early detection can be the first tool to save your life or the life of someone you love.
If you are diagnosed with cancer, the College of American Pathologists also offers an online resource, www.MyBiopsy.org. Visitors will find information sheets on more than 40 types of cancer, tips on how to read a pathology report, questions to ask the doctor, and encouraging survivor stories. Patients can access accurate information 24/7 to arm themselves with knowledge in their fight against cancer.
In conclusion, I would like to personally thank all of the patients, their families, the physicians, the medical and administrative staff of Castleview Hospital for supporting and promoting the high quality, state of the art and timely laboratory and pathology medical services. Most importantly, you can rest assured that we, as your locally available laboratory professionals, are completely committed to you, your family and your loved ones, and we strongly support your local physician, your specialist and/or allied healthcare provider with the most modern, accurate, cost effective and efficient personal laboratory medicine services available anywhere!

"I'm going to play; it's a playoff game."
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Thu, 04/27/06, 02:00pm:
It's a testimony to Kaman's growth that I'm sitting here worried about how the Clippers will defend Denver inside with Chris hobbled (and knowing that he's not exactly Ben Wallace or even Jason Collins), even though Camby isn't a guy who can do tremendous damage on the block. Still, it's helpful to remember that EB, at 6'7½" is generally outsized at the 4. The good news is that neither Elson nor Reggie Evans is much of a threat at the offensive end.
The bad news, as it's been all series long, comes on the defensive glass. If a healthy Kaman and Brand can't do the job against Camby and Evans (who combined for 7 offensive rebounds and 22 total on Monday night), what's it going to look like in Denver's building if Kaman can't land on that ankle?
One way to combat the rebounding situation would be to make it up at the 3, but this means sacrificing Ross minutes and giving them to Maggette -- who's been terrific on the glass in this series -- and/or Singleton. You've got to play Ross his full 25-30, but look for Dunleavy to rotate in one of the rebounding SFs when he gives Chris some rest. Because a Ross/Brand/McCarty or Vlad/Brand/Rebraca frontcourt or any combination thereof is just asking for disaster on the boards.

Ask Jason Martin about this season, and the South Lewis junior shrugs his shoulders and says, It could have been better.
Even Falcons coach Chad Brown, who has seen Martins skills improve every season since coming up to the varsity as a freshman, insists, Jason still has plenty of room to grow as a pitcher and a hitter.
If that is true, then the multi-talented Martin will take his game to an even higher level as he looks to a future that almost certainly includes college baseball.
This season, Martin put together a dream campaign in helping lead the Falcons to another Frontier League C Division title and a 17-3 record. For his outstanding work on the mound and at the plate, Martin is the Times 2013 Frontier League Most Valuable Player. He is also a first-team repeater on the All-North squad.
As the leagues premier pitcher, he went 8-1 with a minuscule 1.33 earned-run average in 58 innings. Martin struck out 91, walked just 15 and allowed only 41 hits.
At the plate, Martin batted a robust .544, going 44-for-80. He finished with six doubles, a triple, one home run and drove in 38 runs while striking out just four times.
When not pitching, Martin also played a solid shortstop for Browns club.
But Martin said he would trade all of those accomplishments for another sectional title. The South Lewis season was cut short in the Class C-1 quarterfinals when the second-seeded Falcons were upset by No. 7 Tully, which was also Martins only loss of the season.
With high hopes of repeating what South Lewis did the year before, capturing the Class C crown and making its first state playoff appearance, that sectional loss put a damper on what was otherwise a spectacular season for Martin and the Falcons.
Its going to stay with me and the team for a long time, Martin said. But baseball can be a funny game. One bad day and your season can be over. Thats going to stay with us awhile, and hopefully give us more motivation for next season.
With a core of players coming back, including Martin and All-North first-teamer Lucas Kelly, South Lewis should be in the league and sectional mix again in 2014. Martin should lead the way.
Jason is a big, strong kid who is always willing to put in the extra work to keep improving, Brown said. Hes so coachable, and willing to listen to anything you tell him.
Brown said the 6-foot-2 right-hander was throwing in the mid-80s for most of this season. He also possesses a sharp-breaking curve ball and worked a change-up into his repertoire this season.
However, Martin said he needs to work on a fourth pitch, a slider, to build his game. And my mechanics can always get a little tighter.
Brown said he can see Martin reaching perhaps the low-90s with his fastball if he becomes a little more consistent with his delivery. Hes such an exceptional athlete that when he does get to college, Im sure theyll find ways to make him throw even harder.
Several colleges, including LeMoyne and St. John Fisher, have already scouted Martin and Brown said they liked what they saw, particularly as a pitcher with unlimited potential.
Although his hitting numbers were extraordinary, Martin said he was a little disappointed in his power production this season. Of his 44 hits, 36 were just singles.
Brown said the power will come if Martin keeps hitting line drives the way he did this season. When Jason learns to stay back a little more and not get out in front of pitches, he will drive the ball a little farther because he has plenty of natural power. Staying balanced is the key for him.
At shortstop, Brown said sometimes Martin relies on his strong arm to make plays other kids cant. Hes got to be a little more consistent on the routine plays, but he certainly makes a big difference in our defense when hes out there.
This summer, Martin will play in the Lowville Wood Bat League and is already playing for the Lowville Bulls, an adult team that plays on Sundays.
As for next season, Brown expects another banner season from Martin.
Its hard to believe, but I think he can do even better, Brown said. Jason is such a competitive kid, hes never satisfied.
Martin smiles and answers Brown this way. As a senior, you hope to have your biggest season. But Ill just try to work as hard as I can to make that happen.

GOUVERNEUR Suspended village police officer Steven M. Young, who is also the chief of the Gouverneur Volunteer Fire Department, tried to conceal one of two keys used to access the village gasoline pump when questioned by a state police investigator, according to testimony Friday at Mr. Youngs hearing on administrative charges brought by the village.
Mr. Young was suspended with pay in September pending the police investigation into whether he inappropriately used village gasoline. The village suspended him without pay Dec. 30 and brought a series of Civil Service charges, mostly violations of the rules of conduct of the police department, including conduct unbecoming an officer, abuse of position, unsatisfactory performance and untruthfulness.
The criminal investigation is complete.
We are waiting solely for a response from the district attorneys office, Senior Investigator Michael G. Ryan of the state police said.
According to Mr. Youngs attorney, the charges are trumped up and the village is unable to accurately track the gas pumps keys or the use of gasoline.
Quite frankly, this is a witch hunt, said attorney Michael F. Young, who is not related to Steven Young. They dont know when anything was used and what was used. My client had no reason to steal gas because he was allowed to take as much gas as he needed.
The hearing will reconvene at 1 p.m. April 8.
The investigation began in July after a village police dispatcher reported her car had been broken into. Police Sgt. Laurina M. Greenhill reviewed footage from cameras at the back of the municipal building for leads. She saw Mr. Young gas up his pickup truck at the fuel station and reported it to Police Chief Gordon F. Ayen Jr. and Mayor Ronald P. McDougall, who turned the investigation over to state police.
Mrs. Greenhill testified that she determined that Mr. Young had pumped gas into his pickup truck from the police department reserve several times in July and August rather than use any of the three keys for the fire department.
The E2 key was for use solely for the village police department. The four E2 keys known to exist at the time were kept in the departments three marked cars and one unmarked car.
The Fire Department keys were coded E6, E8 and E9. Each coded key fit into a respective lock on the fuel panel.
On Sept. 3, Mr. Ryan conducted what he termed an informational interview with Mr. Young on the porch of his home on Rowley Street, where Mr. Young told him he was entitled to gas to make up for what he used during the course of his duties for the fire department. The discussion was that Mr. Young had the E6 key and that First Assistant Chief Thomas J. Conklin had two others.
When Mr. Ryan asked for the key, Mr. Young opened his truck door, turned so his back was to the investigator, detached a key from a ring, and dropped it into the trucks center console before handing him the other key.
When asked by Mr. Ryan why he had detached the second key and dropped it, Mr. Young stared blankly and paused.
He was unable to answer the question, Mr. Ryan said.
Later, Mr. Ryan said Mr. Young told him he had dropped the key because it was an extra one the Fire Department had for use at the village gas pump.
The key he attempted to conceal, in my opinion, in the center console, was E2, Mr. Ryan said. It clearly was not a duplicate.
Michael Young questioned whether the police department had an official policy on use of the fuel station because written documentation does not exist.
I am absolutely sure an E2 key is not a fire department key, Mr. Ryan said. Numerous individuals have indicated to me it was a police department key.
Michael Young also questioned how the E2 key came to the fire department, which used to be in the municipal building. Is it possible one of the E2 keys ended up in the fire department by accident? he asked.
Very possible, Mr. Ryan said. With my investigation, we were unable to determine the exact number of keys. There could be 100 keys out there.
Michael Young also questioned Mr. Ryan what his clients motive could have been to steal when he was allowed gas through the fire department without penalty.
Although the village pays for the cost of gas used by the fire department, that has been true only for the two most recent contracts, Mr. Ryan said.
In prior years, the departments gas costs were subtracted from the amount provided by the village, he said.
Michael Young also objected to Marlinda L. LaValley, the CEO of Gouverneur Hospital, serving as the hearing officer because she has a relationship with the village.
Village attorney Henry J. Leader said a relationship does not necessarily mean bias. Theres a relationship with everyone in a small community, he said.

We don't think about our hair that much on a regular basis, but lately it's been consuming our thoughts. Thanks to tax season, we've recently gone through our yearly expenditures and realized that we spend an inordinate amount of money on our hair. It's not just the upkeep costs that come with highlights and trims that drain money from our account each month. Sadly, we have a little bit of an unhealthy need to buy ridiculously expensive products on a semi-regular basis (and, to fully confess, an equal appetite for purchasing inexpensive hair products on a very regular basis).
Pattern recognized, we thought we could break the cycle if we knew exactly what products were worth saving on and which ones garnered a splurge. We asked celebrity hairstylist Kristoff Ball to come with us to the drugstore and beauty supply store to discuss product. He showed us how to get the most for our money without sacrificing quality!
Save on...
Hair Dryers
Ball works with a pricey SuperSolano dryer, but he promised that a drugstore version is a sufficient choice for us non-professionals. However, one thing to insist on is a model that comes with an "airflow concentrator" or nozzle tip, like on the Revlon Chrome Travel Hair Dryer ($14.99) shown above. "You should always have that tip on your dryer because it forces the air into a smaller area and makes it hotter," he explains. "The concentrated heat gives you better control." If you have curly hair, Ball also recommends getting an additional diffuser attachment, like Vidal Sassoon's 1875W Professional Full-Size Ionic Dryer ($17.99).
It's easy to covet a Mason Pearson boar bristle brush but Ball says it's not worth blowing your budget for one. "It's much more important to find a brush that's comfortable in your hand and, in the case of round brushes, one with bristles that have some give," Ball says. "If the bristles are too hard and don't bend when you press on them, they're going to break your hair." He pointed out the Conair Performers 100% Boar Bristle Round Brush ($9.49) and an Umberto Paddle Brush ($8.99) on our drugstore visit as good options.
Hair Serum
We get very frustrated when our hair frizzes, and, like many women, tend to buy expensive serums thinking they might have better technology or smoothing powers. Ball broke the news that our assessment is way off! "Just check the ingredients list for cyclomethicone or dimethiconol," Ball says. "If either one is the first ingredient, the product will work as well as the $35 version." In addition to the ubiquitous John Frieda Frizz-Ease Hair Serum Original Formula ($9.09), Ball liked Silk Drops Sheer Liquid Silk Hair Serum ($5.99) and Zero Frizz Hair Serum ($7.99).
When it comes to getting clean, Ball swears that drugstore shampoos suds up just as well as pricey versions. "I tell my clients to use a clarifying shampoo once a week, and while I like Bumble and Bumble's Sunday Shampoo, something like Herbal Essences DeGunkify Tingly Deep Cleaning Shampoo ($3.78) is great too," Ball says. His other favorites include Garnier Fructis Fortifying Shampoo ($3.19) for everyday use and L'Oreal Vive Pro Color Vive Shampoo ($3.74) for highlighted or colored hair.
Splurge on...
Conditioner and Masks
While there are many excellent drugstore conditioners and deep repair masks, Ball thinks it's worth upgrading to salon quality products in this area. "The way Kerastase Paris Masquintense for Fine Hair ($53) or Thick Hair ($53) fills in the hair cuticle is impressive and it really makes a noticeable difference," he says. Ball also recommends Bumble and Bumble Seaweed Conditioner ($19.99) for daily use and Davines Love Lovely Smoothing Conditioner ($22.99) as another excellent hair mask.
If you really need to make an updo stay-and don't need your hair to be touchable-Ball concedes that good old Aqua Net will keep things stationary. In less extreme situations, he prefers the hair stylist favorite, L'Oreal Elnett Satin Supreme Hold Hairspray ($17). "This is what the stylists at fashion shows use, because it works but can be brushed out very easily," he says. "In the real world, the flexibility is great because you're not forced into one look, but you still have hold." Ball's other favorite is Kerastase Double Force Hair Spray ($34).
Curling and Flat Irons
It's okay to splurge on professional quality heated hair appliances like curling irons and flat irons-hooray! "Generally speaking, the professional tools go to higher temperatures than drugstore brands, which means you can achieve the desired style quickly and efficiently," Ball says. The Hot Tools 1-inch Professional Ceramic and Titanium Spring Curling Iron ($34.95) is an excellent purchase. Ball also swears by the FHI Platform Flat Iron Ceramic Nano Tourmaline Professional Iron ($185.95).

Fantastic service! I originally purchased a notebook from Lenovo directly. Lenovo was unable to tell me the condition of their open box items and if anything was missing. Received the notebook from lenovo 4 days late and immediately sent it back because the notebook was badly damaged (the chasis was bent into a U shape and scratches all over). I decided to try techforless where I found an open box HP Envy 14. I called techforless customer service; the rep was able to give me full description of the condition and exactly how it would be shipped. I placed the order over the phone and no more than an hour later I recieved an email notifying me that my product shipped and its Fedex tracking number. The notebook came in the exact condition, packaging and time the sales rep promised. The experiance was fast, easy and overall great. It seems it's nearly imposssible to find customer service that is honest, knowledgable and helpful; however, Techforless fulfills this. I would absolutely purchase from them again and highly reccomend them to anyone.- Brandon D. (Pittsburgh, PA)

Medium distance running in a minimalist shoe can be challenging for new minimalist users. It takes time for your foot to adjust to an increasingly thinner level of sole. The Bikila EVO is a fully redesigned shoe built for those looking for a shoe that provides the benefits of going barefoot and that has slightly more cushion to offer more comfort on a medium distance road run. The sole is still thin, and provides a bit more underfoot to ensure confidence while making the switch.

Video: Higgins: Alleged Train Terror Plot Illustrates Dangers
TORONTO (AP) - Two men arrested on Monday and charged with plotting a terrorist attack against a Canadian passenger train with support from al-Qaida elements in Iran, appeared in court on Tuesday.
In a brief court appearance in Montreal, a bearded Chiheb Esseghaier declined to be represented by a court-appointed lawyer. He made a brief statement in French in which he called the allegations against him unfair.
Raed Jaser appeared in court in Toronto and did not enter a plea, and is due to return on May 23rd. Jaser had a long beard and wore a black shirt with no tie, and was accompanied by his parents and brother. The court granted a request by his lawyer, John Norris, for a publication ban on future evidence and testimony
The case has raised questions about Shiite-led Iran's murky relationship with the predominantly Sunni Arab terrorist network.
Esseghaier, 30, and Raed Jaser, 35, had "direction and guidance" from al-Qaida members in Iran, though there was no reason to think the planned attacks were state-sponsored, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner James Malizia said Monday. Police said the men did not get financial support from al-Qaida, but declined to provide more details.
RCMP chief superintendent Jennifer Strachan said they were targeting a route, but did not say whether it was a cross border route.
However, the route of the targeted train reportedly runs between Toronto and New York City. In the U.S., that train is operated by Amtrak and stops in Buffalo and Niagara Falls, before crossing the border at the Whirlpool Bridge.
U.S Rep. Brian Higgins (D-NY 26th) represents the border crossing area in Western new York, and says the alleged plot demonstrates the very real threat of potential terrorism in the region.
Speaking with WGRZ-TV, Higgins listed off several tempting targets, including the Peace Bridge in Buffalo, The Robert Moses hydroelectric plant north of Niagara Falls, and the world famous falls themselves which attract millions of tourists annually.
At the same time, though, Higgins says citizens should take comfort in the proficiency demonstrated by law enforcement to thwart the alleged attack.
"I think the remarkable thing is the good work of the Canadian law enforcement officials, and the FBI in our country collaborating and working together to help thwart a plot that could have exacted death and destruction on a lot of people," he said.
The investigation surrounding the planned attack was part of a cross-border operation involving Canadian law enforcement agencies, the FBI and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Higgins, who sits on the House Homeland Security Committee, and is ranking member of the Counter Terrorism and Counter Intelligence Committee, says he was briefed on the events as they unfolded Monday, but would not offer specifics of what he was told, or say if the alleged plot involved the Whirlpool Bridge.
"The detail will be forthcoming and as that information becomes available I will make that public as well...(but only) that which can be made public," Higgins said.
"What they know the alleged plot to be was to blow up some train tracks, right before a train arrived and to have that train crash," said U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-New York) following a debriefing with intelligence officials on Tuesday."Whether it was on the Whirlpool Bridge, someplace in Canada, or someplace in New York they're not 100% certain," Schumer said.
"This is the first known al-Qaida planned attack that we've experienced in Canada," Superintendent Doug Best told a news conference. Best said the duo had been under investigation since last fall.
Officials in Washington and Toronto said it had no connections to last week's bombings at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
Charges against the two men include conspiring to carry out an attack and murder people in association with a terrorist group. Police said the men are not Canadian citizens and had been in Canada a "significant amount of time," but declined to say where they were from or why they were in the country.
The attack "was definitely in the planning stage but not imminent," Strachan said Monday. "We are alleging that these two individuals took steps and conducted activities to initiate a terrorist attack. They watched trains and railways."
Via Rail said that "at no time" were passengers or members of the public in imminent danger. Via trains_Canada's equivalent of Amtrak passenger trains in the U.S. -carry nearly four million passengers annually.

The best marketing is, of course, word-of-mouth. It is free and respected by consumers more than anything you write on your website. Have a great product, get people talking about it, maybe have a website for more information, and you are on your way to a great marketing plan.
There is a way that you can cross your website copy with word-of-mouth advertising: the testimonial.
Kehrer writes: "Testimonials are the missing link for prospects considering a commitment to your product or service. Reading what others have to say gives them instant comfort. It helps them connect the dots, put a real face on your business and see the satisfaction others have garnered from working with you."
Create a page on your site where you can collect the nice things customers say about your farm and build it slowly over time as positive comments are made. Small Farm Central farmers say lots of nice things, that's why we created the What Our Farmers Say page.
Once you have created a repository on your site of testimonials, you can sprinkle the comments throughout your site in places where the specific comment augments the point you are making. Strawberries are going strong across the country right now, so let's say you have created a page about your strawberries with information about "U-Pick", varietals, growing practices, and more. A comment from a customer about how different the strawberries are than store-bought is perfect for the strawberry page!
When someone sends you an email with a quotable line, send them a message back and ask them if you can use their words on your testimonial page. You don't want that customer to visit your site a few weeks later to find their email pasted all over your site without permission -- that is a good way to turn a happy customer into an disgruntled customer!
Be Specific!
Specific testimonials are better than the general. What sounds better?
"I like to eat your produce because it is so fresh!
"We're so excited for the strawberries. The kids and us ate them as our bedtime snack, and like last week, my husband and I had to "fight" to get more than one! The kids love them, and we all love all the greens, too. Tonight before bed, my four year old said, "I'm thankful for the farmers who grow us healthy food." Thanks for feeding our family!"
Village Acres Farm Weekly Survey
Village Acres Farm has compiled a very impressive list of customer quotes this year which you can see on their website in the "recent comments" area in the right-hand column. In fact, the specific testimonial above was taken from their site.
I asked Patrick at Village Acres Farm what they were doing to generate such an impressive amount of positive comments.
Patrick writes:This season, I started a weekly "foodback" survey using www.surveymonkey.com. It's only three questions. The idea came to me from Sharing the Harvest by Elizabeth Henderson, who talks about a farmer including a paper survey in each box each week. About 15 to 20 members, per week, have been leaving very positive comments. Of those, I pick a few with names included (optional) and ask them if I can post their comments on our website. Every single person, so far, has said yes. Even adding additional comments (in their email) they'd like posted. After their comments are posted, I send a link to them. Some of the other comments left on the website (on specific recipes, especially) are completely unsolicited and sometimes even from non-CSA members. One more item on the "foodback" survey - a few members have used it to tell me about problems with their produce. Fortunately, most of them have left their name and I've been able to call them (much better than email for such issues) to find out more detail. Both (has only happened twice) have expressed appreciaton for me taking the time to call them and interestingly enough, the following week have posted glowing reviews in the survey. I'm glad for the opportunity to talk to these members while the situation is fresh, instead of at the end of the season.
Here's a new development from the Bay Area: community canning events.
The organizers are hosting an event once a month that brings hundreds of pounds of produce to a local community kitchen. Attendees help with chopping, cooking, and canning at the kitchen and then receive a share of the results at a "pick-up party" a few days later. The group that is putting these on is called Yes, We Can.
They are processing Apricots in June, Cucumbers in July, and Tomatoes in September. Patricipants have the opportunity to buy a "work-share" where they help out with the canning or a more expensive share that does not require work. Not surprisingly, the work shares are sold out and there are still the normal shares for sale. This kind of canning is more valuable as an experience than the canned products gained from participating.
It is intimidating to start preservation from a food safety point of view and I am sure the attendees will get a jump-start on the canning process and have the confidence to continue on their own for the rest of the season. I have seen these types of events in individual homes, but this is the first time I have seen it on a more organized scale.
Maybe your farm can connect with a determined local food advocate to get your produce used in an event like this? I think this is an interesting concept to emulate around the country. It is canning as weekend entertainment; participants attain new skills and a great story to tell as they eat the fruits of their labor this winter.
We've posted about canning in the past:

Canning is ideology in a jar

We posted a blog entry a few weeks ago about Twitter and the ways that farmers are using it promote their farms. This is a new medium and has a lot of buzz around it, which should leave us suspicious. However, I do think that this platform has a lot of promise as an easy way to keep up with customers during the busy summertime.
More on that later, though.
We've found our way of using Twitter. This is not the "I'm eating ham and pineapple pizza and drinking a coke" variety of Twittering. We are posting updates, improvements, and new feaures of Small Farm Central which you can view in Twitter. The posts on features are being pulled into the control panel.
If you are an SFC user, you can view the Feature Feed in your control panel by going to the top-right hand corner of the control and finding the link for the "feature feed". You will see that we have been busy.
For everyone else, you can view our "Feature Feed" on Twitter. In addition, we are posting on a daily basis to highlight recipes, blog entries, and photos posted to Small Farm Central sites. Here are a few of our latest updates:
W Liberty Farm eater asks "How to eat seasonally within reason?" Dave talks of winter gardening, ferment., canning, etc: http://bit.ly/K6WmL
"What is best for the bees?" Leaf tells the story of several swarms - eventually leading the bees off his rural TN farm: http://bit.ly/RzHVa
"Bohemian" artisan breads cooling in a scrumptious pile at Twin Forks Farm Breads near Nashville, Tennessee: http://bit.ly/cB6nB
This is a fun way for us to highlight all the great work SFC farmers are doing across the country and get our farmers more exposure. If you are writing or photographing something you think we should post about, send us a note.
So find us on twitter:
or.. visit twitter and search for Small Farm Central.
I found these fun and insightful drawings in an old Mad Magazine book. They were first published in issue #115 (December 1967) and drawn by Antonio Prohías.
My favorite is "infidelity". I will post more if there is interest.
Here at Small Farm Central, we love win-win situations. There are a lot of them in local and small-scale agriculture.
We often hear from satisfied customers that you would like to pass on the word to other farmers who may be interested in our services. If we printed up some "referral" cards with basic info about Small Farm Central and a unique identifier that you could pass out to other farmers who would be interested in the service, we could then give you a couple months free service for each farm that signs up.
That's the second part of the win-win situation.
Would you be interested? Let us know.
The question of "getting ranked higher in Google" comes up all the time in my initial conversations with farmers looking into getting a website. I covered this a long time ago in a blog post entitled "Getting Right with Google", but I think it is worth stressing again:
The single best thing your farm can do for your search engine rankings is to get other sites to link to your site.
These are called inbound links and they are the currency of the web. They drive search engine results as well as human visitors to your page.
It is worth your time to build these links. As a farm, you have a lot of opportunity to build links with the online farm directories that are out there.
Today, I'd like to highlight the EatWild Grassfed Directory which does have a fee associated with the listing. The fee is a one-time $50 listing fee. Eat Wild claims 8,000 visitors per day and 3 million total, which is a lot of potential customers for your farm.
Remember to list your website. As I was looking through the directory, I noticed one Small Farm Central farm that is listed in the directory, but does not have their web address linked. This means potential customers will not find the farm's website and there is no extra Google juice given.
Eat Wild now offers some nice Google Maps of the farms that are listed which helps customers find farms geographically. The screenshot above is of the Google Maps.
Does anyone have experience with EatWild? Do you get a lot of new customers coming from this site? I have heard good things in the past, but please leave your thoughts in comments if this has worked well for you.
Following the success of the Small Farm Central premium templates, our design team will soon be offering farm-friendly custom design packages. The packages will include custom promotion for your farm, such as web site template customization, logos, brochures, stationery (letterhead, business cards, and envelopes with your logo), bumper stickers, label stickers, wooden labels for CSA crates, farm stand banners, and vehicle graphics.
All from the same great designers who work on the Small Farm Central premium templates.
To test out these new farm-centered design ideas, we are looking for a few farms to join us for design make-overs. If you are looking to step up your marketing and design with some of the custom items mentioned above, you may be right for our case study.
Why should my farm become a case study?
What is required of me as a case study?
Interested? Please contact us and let us know how we can help you to best promote your farm!
Maybe I am late to the party, but I just heard about the trial run of Pepsi and Mountain Dew "Throwback" which uses a mixture of cane and beet sugar instead of the standard high-frutose corn syrup (HFCS).
This is an interesting response from the marketplace and I am curious to taste the difference even though I only very occasionally drink the stuff. A very detailed blog, BevReview.com reports:
And just what is that taste? (Yeah, I know, you are anxious!) Well, I'd like you to envision drinking a HFCS Pepsi. Now remove the syrupy residue that enters your mouth during the middle part of your tasting experience, as well as the aftertaste. Replace it with a full-bodied "Pepsi flavor", not just at the end of the drink, but during the entire experience. While HFCS Pepsi starts out a bit watery, with a bit of chemical flavor, Pepsi Throwback is cleaner, producing a consistent cola taste from first sip, while it passes over your tongue, and eventually the aftertaste as it goes down your throat.
Has anyone tried these new formulations? I don't think we need to go out and starting drinking a 6-pack/day of "Throwback", but this seems like good news for people who are concerned about HFCS in the American diet.

Surrogate mother offered $10,000 to abort baby
Posted by Kristi Palma March 6, 2013 09:01 AM
Crystal Kelley, a surrogate mother in Connecticut, was offered $10,000 to abort a Connecticut couple's baby she carried in 2012, reports WTIC in Hartford.
An ultrasound during her pregnancy showed the baby had a cleft lip and palate, heart defects, and a cyst in her brain. The couple, whose name has not been revealed, asked Kelley to abort the pregnancy. After she refused, they offered to give her $10,000 for early termination.
She did not take the money and carried the baby to full-term. "Baby S" was born in June in Michigan where Kelley found a family willing to adopt her.

How to properly clean your Chacos
We are not chemists nor rocket scientists, but we wear our Chacos constantly, and we know what works and what doesn't. We also believe in helping you maintain your investment to keep your Chacos going for years. Our suggestions are low-impact, safe methods and will not delaminate the rubber, nor cause the webbing to crack or fade.
Chaco Sandals: the unofficial official recovery sandal of the Rock/Creek Race Team
If you've seen members of the Rock/Creek Race Team at trail races around the country, you've probably seen more than one pair of Chacos, and that's no accident. Chaco isn't an official sponsor of our Race Team, but so many of our runners wear Chacos before and after racing that we're going to go ahead and call them an unofficial one...
Rock/Creek & Chaco Sandals donate $3,000 to plant trees in Chattanooga
The $3,000 will fund the planting of 18 trees in two sections of median on Dallas Road in Chattanooga. The species selected for planting is an American Elm cultivar called "Princeton," bred for its resistance to Dutch Elm Disease. By selecting the American Elm, we're re-introducing a native tree to the urban landscape...

Comments about Chaco Sandals Credence Tall Nurl Boot (Women's):
Well, if there was a heaven on earth for my feet I think I found it. I have always been a huge Chaco fan, enough that I would wear them in the winter with socks. Now I don't have to! Super awesome Chaco support for my feet and a great style boot! They fit better than any other shoe I have tried on. And I have tried on a lot of shoes... :0)

Alfred Russel Wallace, a contemporary of Charles Darwin, once noted: "There is but one climate known to the ancient fossil world as revealed by the plants and animals entombed in the rocks, and the climate was a mantle of spring-like loveliness which seems to have prevailed over the whole globe" (1876, 1:277). Mr. Wallace had no idea just how right he was.
Creationists have long asserted that the planet on which we are now living was vastly different in the distant past. In fact, when God, in Genesis 1:31, pronounced the Creation as "very good," it was a world that stood in stark contrast to the Earth today. When God used the Noahic flood to destroy the living creatures on the Earth, the "mantle of spring-like loveliness" was forever changed. Weather patterns changed, polar caps cropped up. And so on. In large part, the consequences of that devastating flood have brought about the climate we see around us today.
Interestingly, scientists have uncovered evidence which proves that this Earth once enjoyed a "mantle of spring-like loveliness." Nature writer Quirin Schiermeier observed: "The Arctic Ocean used to be so warm it was practically Mediterranean, an international drilling team has found" (2004). Reporting on the discovery, Alex Kirby noted that fossilized algae in the ice cores "show the sea temperature was once about 20C [about 68F], instead of the average now, -1.5C." This discovery correlates well with an announcement from the University of Colorado, explaining that scientists had discovered pine needles under more than 10,000 feet of ice in Greenland. Both discoveries show evidence of a rapid freeze and mass extinction.
Unfortunately, researchers have assigned evolutionary time spans to this discovery. In their haste to remain "politically correct," they paint the entire discovery in terms of millions of years—never taking into account the global flood of Noah. With every new discovery, scientists continue to prove the authenticity of the Bible. Now, if they would only admit it.

POTOMAC, Md (WUSA)-- Breast imagers at Washington Radiology Associates are the first in our area to use a new screening test called TOMOSYNTHESIS, 3D mammography. It's seen as the most significant advancement in breast imaging in nearly 4 decades.
Dr. Julianne Greenberg is Director of Mammography at the Potomac, MD office of Washington Radiology Associates. She says with tomosynthesis, "We can sort out what is really a true abnormality and what might be overlapping normal tissue..."
Dr. Greenberg explained, "Basically what it does is take images of the breast at very thin 1 millimeter slices and can reconstruct those images into a three dimensional picture or image of the breast."
A woman having a tomosynthesis 3D mammogram won't notice a thing. It happens at the same time as her regular 2D scan.
The main difference is what the images reveal. In 2D, it's a flat view of the breast from top to bottom and side to side. But moving in an arc along the breast, the enhanced 3D x-rays will show scores of very fine breast slices at slightly different angles. The reconstructed images look more like a hologram.
Dr. Greenberg pointed out the differences in one patient's images: "This is the patient's 2D mammogram. The area in question is awfully difficult to detect...Much easier to see the lesion in breasts in 3D tomosynthesis."
Dr. Greenberg said tomosynthesis is especially good at detecting very small invasive cancers that wouldn't be felt through a breast self exam or a clinical exam.
"If we can find small invasive tumors they can be cured. The patient can be taken care of an an early point, stage. Success for long term cure is great," stated Dr. Greenberg.
Tomosynthesis 3D Mammography is good for all women, but especially beneficial for women with dense breasts; that's about 60% of all women. Being able to clearly distinguish between a cancer and non-cancerous lesion will reduce the number of false positives and patient call backs.
