The Carbon County Animal Shelter takes proactive measures to ensure that pets have permanent homes and stay out of jail.
According to Becky Gallucci the shelter took in 200 animals last month alone but only adopted out 40 altogether.
"We try to keep the animals as long as we can," said Gallucci. "On average the animals have about a 50/50 chance of making it once they end up here because we take in dogs and cats from all over the county and we only have so much room. Unfortunately we end up having to euthanize perfectly good pets just to make room."
According to the shelter the most important thing that people can do for their pets is to get them fixed. When animals are spayed or neutered not only does it help prevent overpopulation but also prevents them from getting certain types of cancers and other diseases, ultimately promoting a longer, healthier life span.
Installing an Avid Microchip in domestic animals is another important tool that residents are urged to use. This will allow the shelter to identify the pet owners address and phone number to help prevent the loss of the animal.
"The microchips are inexpensive and easy to install," explained Gallucci. "If you come to the shelter to get the chip installed it costs $20. We are going have a booth at Community Daze in East Carbon this weekend and discount the price to $15. We urge anyone with pets to bring them with you to our booth and get them installed."
Each day approximately 10,000 humans are born in the United States and each day there are also approximately 70,000 puppies and kittens born according to SpayUSA. As long as these birth rates exist there will never be enough homes for all of the animals. As a result, millions of healthy, loving, cats and dogs face early deaths as a form of animal control. Others are left to fend for themselves against automobiles, the elements, other animals and cruel humans.
Licensed veterinarians perform the spay or neuter operation while the pet is under anesthesia. Depending on your pet's age, size and health, he or she will stay at your veterinarian's office for a few hours or a few days. Depending upon the procedure, your pet may need stitches removed. Your veterinarian can fully explain spay and neuter procedures to you.
When the animal shelter adopts out a pet it has become standard procedure to have the animal fixed and equipped with a microchip.
According to officials at the Humane Society, millions of tragic pet deaths can be stopped. By spaying and neutering your pet, you can be an important part of the solution. Contact your veterinarian today and be sure to let your family and friends know that they should do the same.

US Radio Comments On Stone Sour's 'Bother'
Posted on February 12, 2008Check out these amazing quotes from US radio on Stone Sour's "Bother".
"I actually heard the song on another radio station while I was traveling and I was mesmerized. I HAD TO PLAY IT ON MY STATION. It's truly stunning in so many ways...It gets instant reaction, phones all over the place and just wait until you tell your listeners that it's Corey Taylor from Slipknot singing...they'll shit their pants, just like I did. This will be a smash. If "Bother" from Stone Sour doesn't go number one, I'm gonna cut my pinky off." LIas Biello, PD - WHRL/ Albany
"The Corey Taylor song generates phones EVERY TIME we play it (and we're playing it 50+ times a week)! Who says bands need to scream at the top of their lungs about killing their family to get a reaction from listeners? This one is a WINNER. We put it right into a "heavy" because our listeners love it... and so do we!!" Todd Thomas, PD - WMRQ/ Hartford
"Stone Sour's 'Bother' is the cinderella song of the summer. It's lit up the phones from specialty airplay to power rotation crushing all in its path. It's hard to imagine such subtle, smoldering anger from an unmasked man and a guitar." Vinnie Ferguson, MD - WXDX/ PITTSBURGH
"As I was tracking through the Spiderman Soundtrack, I heard this amazing song called "Bother", only to find out that it was the lead singer of Slipknot. Who knew this guy could sing, this song is not only a big surprise, but a SMASH!!!...what's next a metal song from Nelly?" Mike Peer,MD - WXRK/NYC
"Bother" was instantly the #1 requested song at the station. It is also over 260 cume spins already. CIMX / Detroit Immediate phones!...and now an official add. KPNT/ St. Louis
"We did our research when we started playing this, chat rooms, fan pages...the Slipknot fans have embraced this song."Bother" is the biggest record on the radio right now (#1 Phones). It's a record you can feel, and that is so rare these days..." Paul Marshall, MD - KRXQ/Sacremento
"Bother" has been #1 phones for 8 weeks running. It's in Power, and we still can't play it enough. Sean Elliott, PD, KAZR/Des Moines

|Watauga Again Offers Meeting with Boone
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 24 April 2013 13:48
Watauga County Manager Deron Geouque has written Boone Town Manager Greg Young, again offering times and locations for a meeting with the town over the 'Affordable Housing Standards' passed by the town that would kill the sale of the old Watauga High property. Geoque's letter,
dated Tuesday, offers dates from Friday into the weekend, and contains the offer for 'a mediator' to take part, but again, only in an open session. The town of Boone has been insistent that the two governing bodies meet in private with a mediator, citing threats from county commissioners to seek legal action against the town due to the financial loss. After a number of exchanges over the past week, it would appear unlikely that the town would reply favorably, having issued a letter Monday stating that there is not enough time to reverse county action that will change the sales tax collection formula, costing the town some $2 million annually, beginning in July.

It never ceases to amaze me. People that own property think they have a kingdom where they can rule all they see. When LAX was first operated as Mines Field there were no neighbors, just bean fields. When airplanes all had propellers people moved close to the airport, and even had a style of home with a windowed box on the top called an "airplane room" where the family gathered to watch planes. Now they all moan about the noise, traffic and pollution. I think they should move if they don't like it.
A runway 260 ft away from an existing one is not going to be a problem for anyone. Heck, in Bangkok they used to have a golf course between two runways, and it was always popular. Golfers did not even look up when a 74 landed and using thrust reversers. Maybe the airport can build a golf course North of the airport and send the whiners packing. Can you imagine playing a round between flights? Carts available in the terminal? Let's do it!
I lived in Westchester, directly under the Runway 24L-24R final approach, for many years. Believe me, 260 feet won't make any difference in airport noise. Residents near LAX have been doing battle with the airport over noise since I was a kid watching the old piston airliners land and take off. Some things will never change!
This reminds me of the stink people at Kiln Creek made when Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport) wanted to build maintenance hangers on the southeast side of runway 7-25. Those homes were built in the 90s, long after the airport was first built and was previously Yoder's Dairy. They knew that the airport was there when the developer R. G. Moore built the the houses and had no room to complain when they moved in next to it. I grew up two miles off the end of runway 25 and never worried or complained about any noise (I grew up on or near Air Force bases and still live near an Air Force base).
Anyone who moves in near or next to an airport or military air field has no room to complain as that runway(s) was there long before they moved in.

The first time I saw this waterfall, I was floored. You come around a corner and at first you just see the "auxiliary" falls on the left. Then in the course of just a few excited steps the rest of this amazing scene seems to materialize right in front of you! As the bridge and three tiered falls comes into view, you're literally taken aback – this incredible scene just smacks you in the face. I'm sure I stood there quite awhile with my jaw gaping.
Than reality reared its ugly head once I was back home.
My first attempt a few years back featured murky water that didn't look so great once I got back home. That, and I realized this scene would probably look better in the fall than summer anyway.
Next attempt was fall 2011 – again, no dice. WAY too much water and, frankly, I was a little too late. Most of the leaves had already dispersed and the background just wasn't what I was hoping for.
However, fall 2012 comes around and things are looking better.
Water was good and luckily I hit it right at peak color. Perfect background, great water, and LOTS of leaves on the rocks! I took a variety of shots, but really liked this composition – even used a stitching technique to give me a 50 megapixel final image! (This will blow up HUGE – we're talking a 40″+ print!)
Funny thing is, I went JUST for this shot. Drove 8 hours one way, stayed overnight, spent an hour shooting, drove 8 hours back home!

A woman ran her daughters blue sport utility vehicle into the Watertown Urban Mission, 247 Factory St., leaving a 5-foot-wide gaping hole in the side of the building shortly before 9 a.m. Friday.
No injuries were reported. But the waiting area for the food pantry was closed off for the remainder of the day. The food pantry remained open, said Andrew G. Mangione, the Urban Missions director of development.
City code enforcement officials and city firefighters were called to the scene to assess the damage.
Thankfully, we were able to serve everybody in need and no one was hurt, Mr. Mangione said.
The driver, Rosemary E. Nuhibian, 69, of 42210 Cedar Lane, Theresa, told officers she was parking the 2008 Ford Explorer when the gas pedal stuck, propelling the vehicle into the building, police said. The SUV is owned by Wendy Probst, 38, same address.
In comforting her, an Urban Mission employee gave the visibly upset Ms. Nuhibian a hug and listened to her talk about how it happened.
The SUV sustained damage to its front end and hood. The damage extended into the buildings interior, causing a series of two-by-fours to break and code enforcement officials initially to worry about a long metal beam that runs along that section of the structure.
Later, City Code Enforcement Supervisor Shawn R. McWayne signed off, allowing the Urban Mission to continue other activities during the day, even though some of them had to be moved to other parts of the building.
By Friday afternoon, workers had assessed the damage and started repairing it, Mr. Mangione said.
Several employees were inside the building at the time of the crash, but the food pantry was not opened yet, he said.
No one was near it, he said.
Some granular insulation a sandy looking material poured out of the hole in the cinder block building while firefighters examined the damage. The car eventually was towed away.
It was too early to say how much the damage will cost to repair, Mr. Mangione said.
The Urban Mission is in the middle of a $2.5 million capital campaign to renovate its home.

I thought it was a little tasteless, but my husband liked it. I may add more onions next time, to put over a baked potato. I used real maple syrup. The meat was very tender.
From some of the reviews I read, some people think that it is bland. I will season the chicken well and caramelize the onions with the syrup. That should give it some good flavor; perhaps use red onions, little lemon or orange juice.
This is a very tasty comforting dish. Since I always use large chicken breast halves for everything I just doubled the amounts of everything else and added 1/2 tsp black pepper and 1/4 cup of white wine. That way there was plenty of sauce to go on the mashed potatoes served with it. Also I diced and crisp fried 6 strips of bacon and added it to the apple onion mixture on top. Instead of cooking spray I used bacon drippings to brown the chicken. I make this 3 or 4 times a year and it's always a hit plus it makes the house smell so wonderful while cooking.

"Implementation of South Sudan Peace Agreement"
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has urged both sides of the South Sudan conflict to reaffirm their commitment to a peace agreement signed one month ago, that ended 20 months of fighting. Mr. Ban held a high level meeting during the UN General Assembly in New York, calling for the implementation of the agreement without delay. He emphasized the need to immediately halt military operations and to begin forming the transitional government of national unity. Speaking via a video link from Juba, South Sudan's President Salva Kiir, told the meeting attendees that he "will prove the doubting Thomases wrong" as he implements the peace agreement brokered by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development. Meanwhile, opposition leader Riek Machar outlined several challenges blocking peace in South Sudan, but called on President Kiir to have the courage to overcome those difficulties and join him in trying to implement the IGAD deal.
Join us on the next edition of Straight Talk Africa for our live, one-hour television and radio call-in simulcast when host Shaka Ssali and his guests discuss the implementation of South Sudan peace agreement.

I'm looking for some info on the ice age trail. If anyone has been here before, please contact me. I'd like to talk with someone about some questions I have. email@example.com
Hi Nate,I'm pretty sure the IAT had a booth at the Midwest Mountaineering Expo ... did you speak to them.Their website: http://www.iceagetrail.org/home
Yes. I did. They didn't know anything. They told me to direct my questions to the NCT booth. They wanted to play trivia questions for raffle tickets. The people at the booths were clueless. I'm concerned because I've read that there is no camping on certain sections of the trail. I don't understand this. I was hoping to start at the st Croix state park area and do about 40 miles in a weekend.
Edited by NateB123 on 05/08/2013 20:29:09 MDT.
There are sections, many of them in fact, that do not allow dispersed camping. Some sections only allow camping in campgrounds and some sections dont allow any camping.Nate, PM me your email address and I can send you photos of the St. Croix section map and guidebook. I own the official map set.
Edited by T.L. on 05/08/2013 20:33:30 MDT.
Nate, I don't have time to send all the photos tonight, (I can tomorrow) but a quick glance of the map shows that if you wanted to START hiking in Barron and Washburn counties which are just east of Burnett and Polk Counties, there is a good chunk of the trail that allows camping along the trail. I'll post more tomorrow.
thanks travis. email@example.com
I'd also like to arange a shuttle/taxi so we don't need to bring two cars. any ideas?
Nate, I sent you a couple of emails with 12 pictures of the first 12 maps of the trail.
Nate,Have you read this .
Got it figured out thanks to Travis sending me pics of his maps, and the volunteer listed for the Indianhead chapter. He offered to give us a lift to the trail head so we only have to bring one car. We're going in this afternoon and coming out Sunday.
Glad to see it worked out, Nate! Let us know how that portion of the trail is.
Will do. I believe we're scheduled to complete about 30 miles. Anybody been here before? Are there cool things to see?
The trail was in good condition. It was only wet in the lowest spots. We were easily able to walk around these areas. It was well marked and we recieved some great info from Dean (indianhead chapter volunteer). He was very helpful. The trail had lots of variety....thick woods, praire, lakes, rivers, creeks, logging, ups & downs, flats, and all kinds of other stuff. We ended up doing about 40 miles over Fri-Sun. I'd be happy to help out if anyone has questions. firstname.lastname@example.com

That's one-hundredth the diameter of an atom!"

MARTINSBURG A Chenango County man was injured in a snowmobile accident at 10 a.m. Wednesday while riding along the Whetstone Gulf Reservoir in the town of Martinsburg.
Bruce A. Guida, 58, South New Berlin, was driving north on a 2009 Polaris HO 800 over a raised rail bed when his machine tipped, causing him to be thrown off the sled while his right boot was caught in the foot stirrup, according to Lewis County sheriffs deputies.
Mr. Guida was taken by Lewis County Search and Rescue to St. Elizabeth Medical Center, Utica, for treatment of a lower leg fracture.
Martinsburg firefighters assisted at the scene.

FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) -- Manufacturing activity across the 17-nation euro zone contracted for a sixteenth consecutive month in November, according to the final reading of the Markit purchasing managers' index, or PMI, for the sector released Monday. Manufacturing PMI came in at 46.2, matching a preliminary estimate, and marking the sixteenth consecutive month the index has posted a reading below the 50.0 level, signaling a contraction in activity. The index rose from 45.4 in October, marking the slowest pace of contractin in eight months, but the downturn "clearly remains severe," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit. "The ongoing steep pace of manufacturing decline suggests that the region's recession will have deepened in the final quarter of the year, extending into a third successive quarter," Williamson said.

Duck fans flying high: 'we've made them pay attention'
EUGENE, Ore. – Loren Christianson graduated from Ohio State but lives in Eugene.
"I'm disappointed, don't get me wrong," he said in the wake of Ohio State's loss to Wisconsin – and Oregon's ascension to the No. 1 spot in two college football rankings.
"I'm still an Ohio State fan first," Christianson said, "but it's kind of mixed emotions. The Rose Bowl, too – one of those things where the Ducks and Buckeyes square off."
Of course, if Sunday's rankings hold through December – and that's not guaranteed, given losses delivered to the No. 1 teams the past two weeks – the Ducks won't be going to the Rose Bowl. Instead they would be playing for the National Championship on Jan. 10.
Ranked No. 1 in both The Associated Press and Coaches' polls, the Ducks are No. 2 in the Bowl Championship Series poll – just a hair behind Oklahoma and ahead of Boise State. The top two teams in the BCS rankings play for the national championship.
The news set off a flurry of green and yellow Sunday.
"We bought this fleece to take to the games," said Duck fan Greg Whitehouse at the Duck Store on the University of Oregon campus Sunday. "It's exciting. Plus I hate Ohio State, so it's even better."
Duck fans have had time to warm up to the idea. For three times since 2000, the Ducks have been ranked No. 2. But at 6-0, the Ducks have rocketed up to the top spot in multiple polls for the first time in school history.
Fans said it's about time the Ducks snagged the number one slot.
"I said for years they don't want to rank us No. 1, I don't know why," said Carol Allred. "So now, finally, we've made them pay attention."

Still, the number of changes coming at least speak to a development team listening to its user base. The biggest problem, the inability to edit players' appearances in Connected Careers, will be resolved with the patch. If you, like me, started your career without a facemask and then regretted that comical decision well, now you can give your running back some suitable protection.
As to that, you may now start an offline Connected Careers mode using a custom roster. That means that a roster with an entire team—or all 32 teams—playing without facemasks can now be used at the beginning of an offline career. Multiple players can also join an offline Connected Careers game once the patch lands.
See the link for all of the changes but, while they are welcome, the scope of this patch does make one wonder why this stuff wasn't included in the game to begin with.

Daily Deflector Waterlight Broad Spectrum 50+ PA+++ Anti-Aging Sunscreen
We love that this is loaded with anti-aging ingredients, including peptides, antioxidants, and some soothing ingredients.
Anti Bac Clearing Lotion
This fragrance-free lotion is an effective topical disinfectant for acne, and is worthy of consideration.
Add to Faves?
Kate Somerville At-A-Glance
Strengths: Provides complete ingredient lists on their website; effective Anti Bac Clearing Lotion for acne; good eczema cream; some fantastic serums and moisturizers chock-full of beneficial ingredients.
Weaknesses: Expensive; irritating cleansers and scrubs; several products contain irritating ingredients with no proven benefit for skin; disappointing CC cream.
The woman behind this line is a Los Angeles–based aesthetician who owns her own clinic, which specializes not only in aesthetic services but also in cosmetic corrective procedures involving injections (dermal fillers), lasers, Botox, and the like. The clinic is staffed with a doctor and nurses, which is definitely what you want if you're considering services beyond a facial or a massage.
The selling points of this line are Somerville's years of experience in the aesthetics industry and her allegedly devoted celebrity clientele. As such, her products and famous clientele get press in the pages of fashion magazines, which explains why we routinely get asked about this skin-care line. Somerville herself is every bit as attractive as her star clients, and the information on her Web site is presented in such a way that you sincerely believe she has your skin's best interests in mind. And wouldn't you want to trust your skin's needs to a professional who also tends to celebrities?
Knowing all these details, we were anticipating that most of the products bearing Somerville's name would be state-of-the-art slam dunks. Alas, many of them are far afield from that level of formulation. When it comes to giving skin what it needs to function as healthily and normally as possible (and, at these prices, that's what you should expect), this line is, unfortunately, hit or miss. What Somerville knows about giving an amazing facial is one thing, but she clearly missed the research that proves how problematic several of the plant oils that she uses can be. A professional concerned with the health of her clients' skin shouldn't be formulating products with cinnamon, grapefruit, and lavender oils, among others.
If we were one of Somerville's clients, we'd certainly take her to task for that oversight, but we'd also want to know why she offers only one sunscreen and doesn't offer any effective AHA or BHA exfoliants. A discussion of advanced skin science and state-of-the-art ingredients is not sufficient if your product line has gaps: limited sun protection options, no reliable exfoliants, no non-drying cleansers, and a complete lack of options to treat skin discolorations (pigment irregularities, unlike blackheads, cannot be manually extracted, which makes the absence of a skin lightening product an issue).
This product line may not be the one you want to build your skin-care routine around, but there are some exceptional products. Of all the aesthetician-backed lines we've reviewed, none come as close to providing the level of formulary excellence of many of Somerville's moisturizers and serums. They're pricey, but if you're going to spend in excess for skin-care products, you should be doing so on products that stand a very good chance of markedly improving your skin's appearance. We are curious to see how this product line will expand and (hopefully) improve over the years. The current mishmash of awesome and awful products makes it risky to shop this line blindly (or on the sole rationale of a celebrity endorsement), but with careful consideration to avoid irritants you can find some products of value. Hopefully, she will expand the line to fill in the current gaps (especially for sun protection) and eliminate the irritants.

Rudo y Cursi
Drama, Comedy
Beto and Tato are a pair of rivaling, dim-witted brothers who work on a dusty banana ranch and play soccer for their local team. Beto, a goalie whose hot temper on the field earns him the nickname of Rudo, dreams of becoming a professional soccer player, while Tato wants to be a famous singer. They both share the dream of building a big house for their mother, Elvira, but all of their desires seem completely out of reach, that is, until a talent scout, Batuta, discovers their skill on the field. To Beto's chagrin, it is Tato, whose curlicue field play earns him the nickname of Cursi, who is chosen to become a star player. Not to be bested, Beto scores a goalie position on a rival team, further intensifying the competition between them. But success makes the brothers confront their own personal demons and sets them on a chase for more than just soccer balls. Cuaron keeps the energy high and the laughter rolling even as he crafts a moral into the story. But even if the dueling brothers do find a way out of the banana ranch, will the banana ranch ever find a way out of them?

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.)by Barbara Kingsolver and Steven L. Hopp and Camille Kingsolver
Staff Pick
After 25 years in the Arizona desert, in 2004, Kentucky-bred Barbara Kingsolver moved back to the Appalachians, to a Virginia farm just hours from her childhood home. Family called. "Returning," she explains in Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, "would allow my kids more than just a hit-and-run, holiday acquaintance with grandparents and cousins."
But Kingsolver adds, "There is another reason the move felt right to us, and it's the purview of this book. We wanted to live in a place that could feed us: where rain falls, crops grow, and drinking water bubbles right up out of the ground."
The typical food in an American supermarket has traveled considerably farther than some people do in a year of vacations. Consider the impact of those miles on fuel consumption, or the effect that chemical preservatives and industrial processing have on our health, not to mention what this long haul paradigm does to local economies and to our grasp of what food really costs, what food is.
For one year, the author's family pledged to eat only what it could procure from within an hour of its home. Meats, vegetables, grains, you name it.
After eleven previous books — bestselling novels, short stories, essays, and even a volume of poetry — Animal, Vegetable, Miracle marks yet another departure for Kingsolver. Her first full-length nonfiction narrative, and it's a family project besides. Husband Steven Hopp contributes informative sidebars that supplement Kingsolver's narrative and point out sources of additional information. Daughter Camille pens a short personal essay at the end of each chapter, offering seasonal recipes and weekly meal plans. Third-grade Lily starts an egg and poultry business.
"As we come around to being more mindful of our carbon footprint, being more thoughtful about the fuel we use as consumers, food is a natural place to begin," Kingsolver explained a week before publication. "Food is the rare moral arena in which the choice that's best for the world and best for your community is also the best on your table."
"This may sound like a pretty crunchy read — either a frivolous ecofantasy or an uncomfortable scold aimed at those of us unable or unwilling to raise chickens in our backyards. But rest assured, it's neither. This is largely an informational book, short on plot, and don't expect any deep insights into the Kingsolver-Hopp family. Yet Kingsolver...adds enough texture and zest to stir wistful yearnings in all of us who have 'lost the soul of cooking from [our] routines.'" Marjorie Kehe, The Christian Science Monitor (read the entire CSM review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Bestselling author Barbara Kingsolver returns with her first nonfiction narrative that will open your eyes in a hundred new ways to an old truth: You are what you eat.
"As the U.S. population made an unprecedented mad dash for the Sun Belt, one carload of us paddled against the tide, heading for the Promised Land where water falls from the sky and green stuff grows all around. We were about to begin the adventure of realigning our lives with our food chain.
"Naturally, our first stop was to buy junk food and fossil fuel...."
Hang on for the ride: With characteristic poetry and pluck, Barbara Kingsolver and her family sweep readers along on their journey away from the industrial-food pipeline to a rural life in which they vow to buy only food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. Their good-humored search yields surprising discoveries about turkey sex life and overly zealous zucchini plants, en route to a food culture that's better for the neighborhood and also better on the table. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle makes a passionate case for putting the kitchen back at the center of family life and diversified farms at the center of the American diet. "This is the story of a year in which we made every attempt to feed ourselves animals and vegetables whose provenance we really knew . . . and of how our family was changed by our first year of deliberately eating food produced from the same place where we worked, went to school, loved our neighbors, drank the water, and breathed the air."
"If you've ever been lucky enough to eat a tomato in the middle of summer, while it's still warm from the sun, if you've seen a farmer's market filled with fresh produce and happy people, if you've stopped at a farm stand, even (or especially) if it's just a table at the side of the road, you know the difference between the taste of real food and what's sold at the grocery store. But advocates of locally... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) grown produce contend that it's much more than a matter of taste. There's the horror of stockyards and poultry farms and slaughterhouses, and the excessive amounts of energy needed to transport food from one part of the country to another and from the summer of another continent to the winter shelves of our town's stores. But beyond all this, supermarket vegetables and fruits are grown with chemical pesticides and fertilizers and patented modified genes, and supermarket meat comes from animals raised in dense crowds, given hormones and antibiotics (which we in turn swallow), and then killed with abiding cruelty. To the swelling chorus of concern about the food we grow, buy and eat, add three powerful voices, the authors of 'Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life.' In a way, the book adds four voices, because its main author — novelist, essayist and poet Barbara Kingsolver — speaks in two tones. One is charming, zestful, funny and poetic, while the other is serious and dry, indeed sometimes lecturing and didactic. Both are passionate and caring. Kingsolver has written most of the book, describing the year in which her family resolved to eat only food they had grown themselves, or that had grown within a hundred miles of their home, a farm in Virginia. The book's informative sidebars are by her husband, Steven L. Hopp, a biologist. Her daughter, Camille (in college, studying biology), has contributed engaging short essays for each month, accompanied by clear, uncomplicated recipes. (A younger daughter, Lily, was the family CEO of fresh eggs.) Their remarkable year begins in April, when the first asparagus spears poke up from the ground. Sowing, weeding, watering, picking, canning, preserving and joyful eating follow the calendar, with an overabundance of zucchini in the summer, and the food the family has dried, frozen and canned seeing them through the cold months of winter. When March comes, about all that's left are a few quarts of spaghetti sauce, four onions, one head of garlic and, in the freezer, some vegetables and the last turkey. The raising of the turkeys is a wonderful story all by itself, from the first fluffy babies to the mating, roosting and hatching of next year's batch. Turkey sex is an amazing saga, no less miraculous — and perhaps even much more so — than our own. Can we all do this? Probably not. We may not have the necessary time, energy or access to a shared community plot. We may not be blessed with a sufficiently inspired — and happy — family. We may not be willing or able to spend the hot days of August canning all those tomatoes. And we may not have the freezer space (not to mention the barn) required for a year's supply of turkeys and chickens. But all is not lost — unless we continue to lose it at the supermarket where the food we buy contributes to global warming on the long way from wherever it was raised. ('Americans,' writes Hopp in a sidebar, 'put almost as much fossil fuel into our refrigerators as (into) our cars.') The book offers a host of suggestions to make a difference, and there are lengthy lists of places to go, things to do and Web sites to visit. Alas, the book lacks an index. This is a serious book about important problems. Its concerns are real and urgent. It is clear, thoughtful, often amusing, passionate and appealing. It may give you a serious case of supermarket guilt, thinking of the energy footprint left by each out-of-season tomato, but you'll also find unexpected knowledge and gain the ability to make informed choices about what — and how — you're willing to eat. Bunny Crumpacker is the author of 'The Sex Life of Food.'"

WASHINGTON - With automatic tax hikes and spending cuts due with the New Year, Congressional leaders have been tasked by President Barack H. Obama with finding a compromise or bringing a stop-gap measure up for a vote.
Dubbed the fiscal cliff, Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, said he believes, If we go off the cliff and it is sustained, the pain would be felt by the middle class.
With the House of Representatives due back Sunday evening, that leaves slightly more than one day for a compromise to be reached and passed by the Democratic Senate and Republican House.
Its unlikely that we get a big deal, said Mr. Owens, who believes this fight will continue over the next several months.
The president met with Congressional leaders on Friday but was unable to reach a compromise. Republicans have refused to support any compromise that includes tax increases.
Mr. Obama said, in the event Congress is unable to reach consensus, it should vote to continue tax cuts for the middle class and extend unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless while working towards a larger deal, according to the Associated Press.
Mr. Owens said the impact in the north country would be substantial if nothing is done.
Although he prefers to call the series of tax hikes and spending cuts a slope as opposed to a cliff – because the impact would be felt gradually over the course of the next several months – he believes it would be crippling to the regional economy.
If we start sliding down the slope you would see a 7 to 8 percent decline in every line item at Fort Drum including personnel, he said, adding that furloughs and layoffs would certainly follow.
You would see the same thing for the Border Patrol and at school districts, Mr. Owens said.
Payroll and capital gains taxes would also increase if Congress does not act by the first, potentially costing thousands of dollars for middle class households.
The people that will be most inversely affected will be the middle class on down, Mr. Owens said.
What we really need are more moderates to step forward on the Republican side of the aisle, Mr. Owens said. That would allow us to force both sides to come to the middle.
According to Mr. Owens, the conversations being had about the fiscal slope are being led by the extremes. Pointing to the failed Plan B vote in the House of Representatives called by Speaker John A. Boehner, Mr. Owens said this is a crisis of leadership.
Plan B would have increased taxes on those making more than $1 million and, despite being brought forward by the Republican Mr. Boehner, failed to pass the House last week.
The Plan B vote clearly was chaos on the Republican side, Mr. Owens said. What that tells you is that the extremes are controlling the caucus which means you cant bring a moderate position to the floor.
Speaking to Mr. Boehner, Mr. Owens said, Reach across the aisle to Democrats.
Until a deal is reached, Mr. Owens said, the president and the Congressional leadership should stay in the room, working on the problem.
Its been a series of irresponsible acts by the leadership thats got us to where we are, he added.

DES MOINES – Two adult beetles collected from a trap in a residential tree in Boone were confirmed by a federal identifier last week as emerald ash borers (EAB). The trap was placed in the tree this summer after suspect galleries were found in an ash tree branch that fell during a storm.
Boone County is the twelfth Iowa county where emerald ash borers have been found.
The City of Boone Parks Department has taken several steps in preparation for the arrival of the EAB, including inventorying all of the street trees in the community and assessing the condition of trees in the right-of-way. The city council has money identified to remove street trees and to purchase specialized equipment to chip large diameter trees.
Boone officials have information available to help property owners address the potential of ash tree infestation at boonegov.com/eab.
A statewide quarantine restricting the movement of hardwood firewood, ash logs, wood chips and ash tree nursery stock out of Iowa into non-quarantined areas of other states was issued on Feb. 4, 2014 and remains in place.

Anyway, this is a continuation of the Subversive Bicycle Photos series, showing the historical role that the bicycle played in cities and towns - in this case New South Wales, Australia. Important documentation on the journey to show that Bicycle Culture 2.0 is NOT dominated by sub-cultures but rather has the potential to be enjoyed by all citizens. As was the case in cities and towns around the world. In Cairns, Queensland, Canberra, Dublin, Vancouver, etc. etc.
These photographs are from the Flickr photostream of the State Library of New South Wales.
Stanmore, NSW, Australia. May, 1946.
Albury, NSW, Australia. December, 1938.
NSW, Australia. June 1937. An explanation is probably needed:
"Tom Morris, who will attempt to skip from Sydney to Brisbane, via the Pacific Highway, will set out from the General Post Office at noon to-day. He has already skipped from Melbourne to Adelaide and back (1000 miles) and from Melbourne to Sydney in 28 days."
His friend on the left must be an early member of the Slow Bicycle Movement.

Jenolan Caves, NSW, Australia. April, 1903.
Man on bicycle pillioning boy. Bunaloo, NSW, Australia. "Pillioning". There's a word you don't hear every day. I'm assuming that means the boy is standing up. As opposed to that other Australianism, "dinking".

Founded in 1895 as the New York Zoological Society, the Wildlife Conservation Society was one of the first conservation organizations in the U.S. The Society began with a clear mandate: Advance wildlife conservation, promote the study of zoology, and create a first-class zoo. In fact we created five: the Bronx Zoo, Central Park Zoo, Queens Zoo, Prospect Park Zoo, and New York Aquarium.
WCS's staff of field and
zoo experts work together in the service of a single mission: to save
wildlife and wild places. We call this our "One WCS" approach to
conservation. As our vets, curators, and keepers care for the animals
of the four zoos and aquarium in New York, they share their insights
with scientists working in the field to save the animals' wild cousins.
Field staff report back their observations of animal behavior and needs
in nature, which in turn bolsters animal wellbeing in the parks.
The Bronx Zoo's Congo Gorilla Forest features one of the largest groups of western lowland gorillas in North America, and is among the world's first zoo exhibits to directly give visitors a stake in wildlife conservation in the field.
At Madagascar!, zoogoers see the island nation through the eyes of a conservationist. The Bronx Zoo strives to inspire a connection to Madagascar's imperiled wild creatures while there is still time to save them.
From Central Park to Central Asia, WCS is a world leader in the care and conservation of snow leopards. In 1903, the Bronx Zoo became the first zoo in the Western Hemisphere to exhibit these rare spotted cats. Today, the Bronx and Central Park Zoos are home to the most important collection of snow leopards in North America.
Found only on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi—and at the Bronx Zoo—the maleo is an endangered and totally unique bird. The Bronx Zoo Bird Department and WCS-Indonesia have worked together to document its unusual nesting behaviors. Their teamwork has helped to protect the species and its nesting grounds in the wild.
In its second century of bison conservation, WCS is working to restore the wild landscape that enables bison to roam freely, and to support larger, free-ranging herds. The ABS was founded at the Bronx Zoo in 1905.
Once plagued by pollution and neglect, today the Bronx River is home to herring, egrets, and even a lone beaver. The return of native wildlife is proof of the waterway's improving health, and a testimony to community restoration efforts by WCS and other local groups.

I tried too many sweepstakes in Stereophile already, but never have owned any. But still hopeful, perhaps someday luck will favor me who cannot afford a decent expensive headphone.
Thanks for another contest.
My son just asked me about getting a new pair of headphones. These would be perfect.
I won a $135 headphone stand last year, so I have a place to park them...other than over my ears!
Love to dive my jazz with these incredible sounding Headphones!
I wonder if it sounds as good as it looks... :)
Do they come in Honda Civic silver? :) I'd love a pair!
Free is always a good thing :)
while sitting in my Natuzzi chair listening to Rossini.
I've always been curious about this brand. Almost nothing in the way impressions over on head-fi. I wouldn't mind giving them a try!
My only chance to win something Ferrari.
blingy ... but i'll take it if i win it
They sure are pretty! Do they sound as good as they look?

CANTON St. Lawrence County will use a $250,000 grant through the North Country Regional Economic Development Council to start construction of a multiuse trail system.
We plan on breaking ground this spring, said Debbie A. Christy, the countys trail coordinator.
The money will partially replace a $500,000 grant yanked in 2012 by Empire State Development just as the county was preparing to buy equipment.
At the time the grant was rescinded, the state may not have realized how much progress had been made toward developing the trail system that will link Lewis County to Franklin County through St. Lawrence County, said Legislator Alex A. MacKinnon, R-Fowler.
We didnt have the detail to go out and spend the money. This time, were ready to go. Now we know exactly where the trail system is going to be, he said. Its half the money, but still, half is better than nothing. Well put it to good use. It shows first of all were being taken seriously.
After the county has reviewed the grants guidelines, it will be time to start spending the money on culverts, gravel, gates and equipment to build the trail, Ms. Christy said.
Some trails, particularly in the towns of Fine, Clifton, Clare and Russell, have been open for years, but an overall multiuse system has remained a dream. An environmental impact statement was accepted by a county legislative committee last year.
With some exceptions, the trail will be for snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, hikers, dogsledders, horseback riders and bicyclists.
A 22-mile pilot trail in Parishville shows that a careful design that is well marked cuts down on problems, Mr. MacKinnon said.
I think we have demonstrated with the pilot trail that if you do things properly, you dont get a mess, he said. Weve had zero complaints.

Help me convince my supervisor or board chair
Best Method is Face to Face
The best method continues to be a face to face where a board or supervisor hears first-hand the enthusiasm of the accreditation advocate and gets to pose questions regarding their concerns.
It is often good to seek out an accreditation advocate from the board of a similar organization. Board members feel confident that another board member understands their particular issues and concerns. It can be just as successful to match the attitude or perspective of the board with the advocate. For example, if a camp has a very corporate board, a good advocate might be the executive director of a highly credible for-profit camp in the area.
These same principles apply to convincing a supervisor of the value of accreditation. Call your local ACA office and ask for assistance in locating an appropriate advocate.
Research other Accredited Camps
You may locate valuable (convincing) information by assessing camps similar to your camp. Use ACA's Camp Database to learn a lot about accredited camps across the country. There are 11 different ways to search. You will be able to locate camps with similar . . . clientele, activities, sponsoring organizations, etc. The Interactive Camp Database is a great resource for strategic planning also!
Print Resources
- 15 knock-out rewards for ACA-accredited camps. Training, confidence, support system, discounts, etc.
- Accredited camps can tap into numerous savings in discounts each year.
- There's 50 years of parent trust behind this sign, but who knows? How can this fact translate into increased perceived value by your public and your supervisor?
- Five common myths are dispelled
- we couldn't meet the requirements
- we are already licensed by the state
- we don't have enough staff time right now
- we have a new director
- it costs too much

About Barbara Ruano
barbara.ruano is a Cuban-born Industrial & Visual Artist who grew up in Huntington Beach, California, the place she refers to as home. She is attracted to tools, metal, concrete, and the textures and colors of urban cities and nature. She creates unique industrial art with a vision that enhances and changes everyday places and things while turning them into inspirational art forms. Barbara shapes our normal perception of items we see often...forcing us to see them a bit differently. To view her work also visit www.barbararuano.com.
Her art has been shown in galleries and a variety of art shows, and her commissioned pieces are displayed in businesses and homes throughout the US. When asked what inspires her most, her answer comes from the heart: 'My vision comes from my core. The materials themselves move me, and my feelings dictate my creativity. This makes me see our world in a different light and express myself through materials and images so commonly overlooked in our daily lives, but so present everywhere we go. I tend to see beauty in everything and everyone that surrounds me, and there's no better feeling than to share that with others.'
Barbara's works go untitled. She prefers creating open dialogue among her viewers as each person�s imagination provides their own interpretation of her very unique and interesting pieces. Talk to her about a special event or room and let her design something spectacular!
All of her photographs are quick shots taken with her iPhone throughout her daily travels. Some are digitally enhanced for color and texture, creating the dramatic and sometimes surreal images and distinctive moods Barbara envisions with each shot. Additional work added frequently, and soon will include photographs of her industrial designs.
'Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoy viewing my work.' | BARB
