text: So, as I was winding my wristwatch before going to bed, I realized that today was, in fact, August fourth, the "Post Like Tzan Day". I instantly thought of you guys on the forum, and wanted to hear your opinions on this matter. While I was making this post, I also came to the realization that this new "cell phone" technology had led to some rather dangerous secret codes that people use to transmit their dangerous intentions. I have therefore enclosed an image to help you decipher these things, and be safer!

Comments about SmartWool Midweight Bottom (Women's):
Let me start this review by saying I'm actually wearing them right now. I'm absolutely crazy about these leggings! Yesterday I wore them to hike Mabbit Springs beneath a pair of Prana pants and I was very warm, even in the cold, damp, air. Today I wore them to work as leggings beneath a tunic and I've been very comfortable all day. A wonderful thing about SmartWool is that the merino wool used in all of their products is naturally antimicrobial, meaning you don't have to wash it as often. Let me tell you, that's quite handy when you're a college student working 20+ hours a week! Overall, I love these leggings and I definitely recommend them to anyone that wants great bottoms for cool conditions!

JAY – The second of a series of economic development meetings was held at the Jay Peak Resort Wednesday, bringing together a coalition of state officials, educators and other interested parties. The meeting was chaired by Pat Moulton Powden, Deputy Commissioner of the Department of Commerce, who focused on getting all parties to work together.
"It takes a team to do this and do it well," Moulton Powden stated in her opening remarks. "We're going to set a template here in the Northeast Kingdom.... If we can do it here, we can do this anywhere in the country."
With the ongoing development at the Jay Peak Resort and the future expanded development of Burke Ski Area, as well as the introduction of several new businesses in Newport, Moulton Powden recognizes a need to develop a job-ready workforce, both short term as well as long term.
There is an immediate need for skilled construction workers in the area as the resort is already hiring 800 construction workers to complete a new State Side Resort, a ski school building, a medical facility and, in 2014, a new lodge and hotel on the west side of the mountain.
"There's going to be duplication between agencies and other organizations," Moulton Powden warned. "This no time for turf wars; there's a place and role for everyone. We are facing an immediate and long term demand for certain job skills. Not only is there an immediate need for some skills, but we need to establish pipelines to continue bringing people into the workforce."
Jay Peak Resort President Bill Stenger offered an update of the various projects and their construction timetables. The State Side project – which includes a new lodge, ski school, 84-suite hotel and 84 cottages – will be completed by the start of the next ski season. The West Bowl project is at the Act 250 planning process and Stenger anticipates construction will start in the spring of 2014.
North Country Hospital and St. Albans Hospital are working together to determine the scope of the medical services a new medical facility will provide. "We will have 3000 property guests and 1500 employees on site in a couple of years," stated Stenger. "There is a need for medical services at the Resort, and as an additional benefit the facility will serve local communities."
Development of ANC Bio is moving forward with an anticipated opening of a research facility in 2014. Stenger spent several weeks in November meeting with potential investors in South Korea.
"It's a good market as the scientific knowledge and business leadership for ANC Bio is coming from Korea," said Stenger. "While there, we (with ANC Bio management) agreed that the technicians and scientists will be full time employees. We decided that the 450 jobs, including those who work in the clean rooms, will be permanent jobs. New England and Eastern Canada are a region which are leaders in the field of bio tech science, and there's a desperate need for clean rooms to conduct experiments."
A change in ownership of the Spates Block on Main Street in Newport is anticipated to take place within a few weeks. Stenger anticipates demolition of the buildings will take place next fall. At the same time, he is seeking a location for a grocery store, drug store and other retail space before they start construction of the Newport Marina and Hotel.
South Korean imports may make use of the proposed bonded warehouses that will be built at the airport in Coventry.
"This is an important component to the development of the airport; we want to increase traffic to the airport and have intensified communication with aviators," said Stenger. "We want them to know that we will have services for you at the Coventry airport."
The biggest news involving the Burke Mountain Ski Resort is the potential construction of a indoor mountain biking facility.
"We can't survive with a 20% occupancy rate between April and November," stated Stenger. "We need to offer mountain biking services, tennis, and other youth activities. As far as I know, there is no indoor mountain bike facility in North America."
The parties focused on how to secure the much needed workforce.
In the Northeast Kingdom, there are 10,000 students in grades K-12 with potentially 750 graduating from high school every year.
"We need to make sure the opportunities are here for our graduates, the unemployed and underemployed," said Moulton Powden. "There aren't enough people to fill construction needs here at the resort. Bill (Stenger) has to draw them from Franklin County, Lamoille County, and further away. We need to get together and get the word out to let people know what training programs are available to get them employed. And we have to do this before the flood gates open and we have immigration into the county."
One area of focus is to get women into non traditional jobs such as the construction field. Moulton Powden stated, "It's about making sure the folks here get the opportunities. There needs to be a greater balance in gender in some industries. This is such a unique opportunity for this region. We need to seize the moment – a development of this magnitude will be like a tide that raises all ships."
The committee will continue to meet to coordinate efforts to meet specific employment opportunities. As a first step, they are working with employers and the University of Vermont to articulate specific job skills and the training necessary to meet job requirements. Once this step is complete, area educators can design programs for students that will enable them to find employment after graduation.
"Preparing for work is not a theory," emphasized Stenger. "It a reality. There will be skilled jobs for many years to come."

MASSENA - The 2013 Massena Winter Carnival officially got underway Thursday night with an opening ceremony that included wine tasting, hors doeuvres and the unveiling of a special feature outside of the Greater Massena Chamber of Commerce office - an ice sculpture of the 2013 Winter Carnival logo.
Chamber President and Winter Carnival Co-Chair Susan E. Stiles said they wanted to give a special touch to this years Winter Carnival, as well as those in the years ahead.
We thought about taking a spin-off from the Saranac Lake ice castle, but on a smaller scale. We wanted to do something different to bring people in, she said.
The sculpture stands about 70 inches high, according to Ms. Stiles.
We were told its between 5 and 7 feet tall. They call it four blocks wide, she said.
A blue backlight gives an added dimension to the sculpture, which could last a week under the current weather conditions.
It was created by world class ice sculptor Stanley Kolonko, who owns and operates The Ice Farm in Auburn. In competitive ice sculpting, Mr. Kolonko and his team placed first at the Harbin International Ice Sculpture Competition in China in early January 2010.
I called him up and asked him for an estimate, and I sent him an email of our logo. He said he would love to do it. He did it off from that, Ms. Stiles said.
The sculpture, which is created in blocks, took one to two days to complete.
He uses his own ice. It has to be pure ice so its clear, Ms. Stiles said.
The sculpture was delivered in sections and the assemblers used water from the chamber office to seal up the areas where the sections were put together.
Now its on display on West Orvis Street, outside the chamber office, just in time for the Winter Carnival.
Tonights activities include a 7 p.m. parade through downtown and fireworks at Bushnell Field between 8 and 8:30 p.m.
Saturdays events include a 5K Walk/run at the Massena Country Club, with registration beginning at 8:30 a.m.
Other activities will be held at the Hawkins Point Visitors Center on Saturday and Sunday.
Although the weather forced the cancellation of the dog sled races, Christina Gates from the Arctic Sled Dog Racing Association will be on hand with her dogs for presentations on Saturday, along with Spencer Thew, owner of the Call of the Wild Kennels, who will be on hand for demonstrations of dryland dog sled racing. Those presentations will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Winter Carnival Market is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., while horse-drawn wagon rides take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Cubby T. Clown will be there from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the Massena Chamber will have a food booth.
Evening activities include a Winter Carnival Meet and Greet Dinner from 6 to 8 p.m. at The Village Inn, followed by karaoke at 9 p.m.
Sundays events at the Hawkins Point Visitors Center include childrens activities from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., horse-drawn wagon rides from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Cubby T. Clown from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the chamber food booth and closing ceremonies. There will also be a drawing for the Winter Carnival 50-50 raffle.
For information on the events, visit the Greater Massena Chamber of Commerces website at www.massenachamber.com where an updated list is maintained.

Customer Service
Although this story is about Christmas, we feel it applies to any holiday that involves chocolate whether it's Easter, Halloween, or even Valentine's Day!
Marji, a four-year-old apricot Miniature Poodle, was a healthy and happy dog ever since we first met her as a puppy. Poodles are considered some of the most intelligent canines, and little Marji was no exception. So when the holidays came around, her owner thought nothing of stashing presents under the Christmas tree, including a small gift from her neighbor.
Debbie went to work one morning and left Marji loose in the house as usual. But when she got home, Debbie sensed something strange: no greeting at the door.
Worried, she went looking for her dog and discovered chewed-up wrapping paper on the floor and an open gold box. It was the gift their neighbor left - a 1-lb. box of fancy chocolates, and one-half of them were missing. Debbie found Marji standing up in her crate, looking shaky and restless. The ten-pound poodle had consumed nearly half a pound of rich, mixed chocolates, and the amount she consumed was dangerous. Chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine which are methylxanthines and can be toxic. The darker the chocolate, the more of these substances it contains.
Luckily, we were able to treat Marji in time. She went back to her owners the next evening, and they now stow unknown gifts in a place inaccessible to Marji. Chocolate toxicity is one of the most common poisonings during the holiday season; please be careful what you put under the tree this year.
What to do if your dog eats chocolate:
Call your veterinarian or emergency clinic immediately. Make sure you know the approximate amount of chocolate, the type, and how long ago your pet consumed it. If the chocolate has been ingested within a short period of time, your veterinarian may have you induce your pet to vomit. The effects of chocolate toxicity may not be apparent right away, but call your veterinarian, regardless.

Takes time to sit down and talk to you. Always reviews last visit and compares to current visit, to find any problems. If problems found, takes immediate action to correct. Shows his interest in your particular case. Very easy to talk to, and discuss health problems. If Dr. Law refers me to another doctor, the doctor refered to, is as good as Dr. Law. I have been with this practice for over 30 years, and have always received quality care!!

His awards and decorations include the Army Service Ribbon, the National Defense Service Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.
His death is under investigation by the Armys Criminal Investigation Command. The release from the post said that there was no indication of foul play, but that it had not been completely ruled out as the investigation continues.

It's all about "bikinis and big booties" .... at least according to the first trailer for "Spring Breakers."
Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine are good girls gone bad in the movie -- which focuses on four college girls who rob a convenience store so they can afford to go on Spring Break.
They eventually get arrested -- in their skimpy swimwear, naturally -- and James Franco's creepy, Riff Raff/Kevin Federline-like rapper comes to their rescue.
Cue the montage of guns, money, Britney Spears music and threesomes. Yep, threesomes.
Clearly Selena and Vanessa are working on revamping their Disney images with the flick, which looks a lot darker than the fun, party-packed set photos suggested.
The movie is due out later this year. What do you think?

Everyone's Talking Contingent
Welcome to the 2013 CW Solutions Forum and CWS Summit, our biggest ever. Eight years after the first conference, the Summit has become the networking event for CW professionals. So what does this "biggest ever" claim mean for the buyer and supplier of contingent labor? Bragging rights aside, big is obviously good. It means growth, opportunity and $.
But more important, here are a few facts about growth in the contingent workforce world that this conference highlights:
- Big crowds. 800+ attendees is evidence of the professionalization of this occupation.
- Rising stars. VMS/MSP spend has touched $100 billion indicating that the tool/program administrator work and provide value.
- Spreading out. 21 percent growth in global VMS spend is further proof that this phenomenon may have started in the United States but it is growing worldwide.
- Mega programs. The upsurge of the mega programs, programs with spend of more than 300 million are becoming more common. We are now aware of 62 such programs.
- New work arrangements. Evolving staffing models that could help the buyer with staff augmentation. For example, online staffing has the potential for radical economies and is projected to grow 60 percent in 2013.
- SOW is the future. Buyers are indicating strong interest in doing more SOW and it fits in with the goals of many talented workers who want to maintain their independence.
- RPO is back. Earlier dismissed by many as vaporware, we now have the percent of buyers using recruitment process outsourcing increasing by more than four times since 2005.
Growth is the mantra in this universe. "What we are seeing is the breaking down of the compartmentalization of employees and contingents to a single integrated more effective workforce that is also indicative of future growth," says Jason Ezratty, president of Brightfield Strategies and an industry veteran. It's going to be a fun-filled action-packed week. Follow me on twitter @subadhra_cws to get regular updates.

A Satellite Beach man is facing a charge of negligence with a firearm after South Carolina authorities said he shot and killed a member of his hunting party, thinking the other man was a wild hog.
Florida Today reports that Lukas J. Brickweg, 25, is accused of shooting Robert A. Iselim, 52, of Jacksonville near Ninety Six, S.C., which is about 40 miles west of Columbia. The deadly incident occurred early Saturday morning.
According to a report from the Greenwood County (S.C.) Sheriff's Department, another man in the hunting party called authorities after his brother was shot.
The man told investigators that Brickweg was "in a climbing stand and had shot his brother, Robert, thinking he was a wild hog," the report reads. Iselim was found lying on his back in open hardwoods.
Brickweg was charged with criminally negligent use of a firearm resulting in death, according to Greenwood County court records. He is scheduled to make an initial court appearance Apr. 3.

CREATED Mar 5, 2012
Reporter: Kevin Keen
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - A request is denied and another road block formed for those trying to save TUSD's Mexican-American studies program. What does it mean for students and the district?
MALDEF, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, asked federal courts last month to reinstate the program. MALDEF argued eliminating the classes violated the district's plan for desegregation and student equality. District Court Judge David Bury ruled recently, rejecting that claim and denying the request.
"If the judge would have said, 'OK, you have to put these programs back together,' then that puts us in a predicament with the state, seeing that we were already found in violation of HB 2281," TUSD board member Michael Hicks told KGUN9 News. "It would've caused more problems than it would have solved."
Hicks and others say among the people who are better off because of the judge's decision are students. "They're not being shuffled around anymore and the teachers aren't being shuffled around anymore," he said.
The court's decision means students and staff will continue taking literature and other courses chosen to replace Mexican-American studies classes.
"Is there an impact there?" KGUN9 reporter Kevin Keen asked district board president Dr. Mark Stegeman. "We already made one big change in these courses this semester. I think it's good for everybody that we don't have to make another one."
But MALDEF maintains the program must be reinstated and students' education wouldn't be disrupted. "We believe that there's already a curriculum that's in place and that teachers have been following," said Nancy Ramirez, western regional counsel for MALDEF. "We believe that it can be done in such a way that would not be disruptive to the students and it certainly would not be disruptive to the case."
MALDEF takes aim at another reason not to reinstate the program--one the judge in this case agreed with in his ruling. That is: bringing the classes back would take focus off the effort to create new ethnic studies courses.
"One of the things that we're looking at is creating a truly multicultural course that encompasses all ethnicities," Hicks said.
"The sooner we can get past the past conversation and get on to that conversation, the better," Stegeman said. "I think we can do something that, in the end, will have a lot of support from different parts of the community."
Ramirez said MALDEF wasn't able to fully present its case to the court, adding the organization will appeal and try to change the judge's mind.

Immediately after the arrest of Roman Polanski, an overwhelming and surprising movement of support for a man convicted of drugging and raping a 13 year old girl in 1977 came from Hollywood celebrities to political leaders. In return the media has certainly responded with a backlash of criticism towards those who seem to expect Polanski to be treated differently because of his status or have actually defended his crime as being less appalling than the hard facts have suggested. In addition to being a sufficiently disturbing example of how many people still believe that being famous provides a free-pass from moral standards, the entire case also serves as a sobering reminder that rape myths are still predominant in the world despite the large amount of discourse examining them.
Rape myth was a term coined in 1980 to describe the false beliefs that people have about rape, rapists, and rape victims. These can include beliefs that only certain types of women are raped or that rapists are usually aggressive, desperate males. Many of the public comments from Polanski's high-profile defenders have only worked to perpetuate some of these long standing beliefs about rape. One common rape myth is that only strange, scary men rape. Polanski just doesn't fit that stereotype. Many celebrities may see him as part of their group, and it's hard to imagine someone in our group doing something which we commonly ascribe to occurring elsewhere and "not to us". So his "friends" were left with having to find ways to make his actions seem less immoral. Meanwhile, our love of "The Pianist" makes us unable to cope with the inconsistancy of our affinity for a man who created something we like and detest for his deplorable actions.
Some argued in Polanski's defence by derogating the victim. Many people reporting on the incident said that Polanski couldn't have known she was only 13 because she acted more like an adult than a child. All these statement work to further the myth that only certain types of women (and thus, only "other" women) are raped. Rape myths reflect people's just-world needs. We need to make sense of something terrible that happens so we fall back on our desire to believe that the world is ultimately just and thus, those who were raped must have deserved it. Given the incredible sway and press that celebrities receive, their support for rape myths is particularly frightening. Unfortunately, time and time again these myths have been shown to not only be untrue, they are dangerous. They place blame on rape-victims which can lead to fewer women reporting sexual crimes and, as the case of Polanski has shown, can lead to less support for justice.

I have to admit to the fact that I have never canned tomatoes or anything until I tried making some marinated zucchini this year. It turned out so-so. I figured if I was ever going to get serious about canning tomatoes or sauce, I'd better go and learn from some experts and educate myself as much as possible so I don't end up wasting money, time, and food or getting hurt.
I was told my 2nd cousin's wife was going to buy 5 bushels of tomatoes to can and I knew I had found my expert. She has been doing this a long time and since this was the case, she has the knowledge and the tools needed for the big job. I asked if I could come to her house on canning day to help and learn. She said I was welcome so I thought taking my camera along was a good idea.
When I arrived, I found this site on an old 1950's style gas stove in their converted basement.
These two huge copper pots were already boiling down the tomatoes that would be used as sauce that would have a paste-like consistency. These tomatoes, Roma plum, had been washed and then put into the pots with some water.
To begin the other type of canned tomatoes, they were par-boiled and had their skins removed. I arrived in time to cut, de-seed and stem the already peeled tomatoes. (I had a late night the evening before so I wasn't able to arrive at 7 AM at Anna's to start from the beginning.) Here is a pot full of the prepared tomatoes.
These were put into pint-sized jars with a few fresh basil leaves and later were given a water bath. Anna says she uses this type for pizza sauce and other sauces where she wants chunks of tomatoes in them.
We put the those jars aside and by this time we needed a lunch break as well as an air break. There was one issue I did not count on and that was carbon monoxide. It seems that with the four burners on the gas stove going for hours in an air-conditioned house was causing somewhat of a build up of the CO2 and the CO2 detector was going off to let us know. We ended up opening all the doors and windows upstairs while we worked downstairs, taking frequent fresh air breaks. Once that was under control, the other issue we had to deal with was the condensation of the steam on the cold air ducts above our heads, which was dripping on us. It was quite interesting to say the least.
Once the boiling tomatoes were cooked down to a certain point, just when that is was something you can't time, you just have to watch and know from years of experience, it was time to run the tomatoes through the food mill. I was glad to see they had an electric model and not a manual model as this was a big job. See the steam? Hot stuff!
Now we were filling these plastic food-grade buckets full of the liquid and meat of the tomatoes while the skin and seeds were going elsewhere. It took all four of us to keep up on this process-one to bring tomatoes from the large copper pot and dump into the machine, one to push the tomatoes through, one to keep up with the skins and seeds, and one to clean potential messes and generally get in the way by taking photos, such as myself. I actually did work and take a turn at pushing the tomatoes through the mill.
Once we had all the tomatoes separated from the seeds and skins, it was time to once again fill the copper pots and reduce the sauce to an almost paste-like consistency. While that was happening, it was time to rinse and prepare more basil and get the jars, rings and lids ready. The basil was often referred to as the "gold" of the day.
I was busy adding basil to jars, unpacking jars from boxes, preparing lids and rings when the only big mess happened. Anna was wiping the jars and tightening the lids after they were filled with the boiling hot sauce when one of the rings was not placed on properly causing the jar to slip from her hands. It only tipped over onto the table but it sent boiling hot sauce to the floor to splatter. I felt a hot spot hit the back on my leg, on my pants which kept me from getting burned, and turned to see the huge red spot on the floor. That was our only mishap of the day. Not a single broken jar and only a few cups of sauce lost. Not too bad. Here are a few more photos of the filling process.
In the end, there were 86 quarts of paste-type sauce and 40 pints of the chunky sauce made. The pints were given a water bath while we went and ate some dinner and visited. As we were filling the jars, you could hear the "pop" of the lids sealing. This was referred to as "music to our ears" every time another lid popped.
It was quite an experience for me to work with these ladies and all the tomatoes. We had fun while completing a task needed for the comforts of having fresh tomato sauce year-round. I think I might try the paste-type sauce this year but it will not be anything near five bushels of tomatoes but more like about 20-30 pounds, which isn't too many tomatoes. We'll see if I have the courage.

There is a restaurant in Las Vegas called the Heart Attack Grill. The entrepreneurial owner of the place has taken the exact opposite tack of many of the fast food outlets in the United States that continue to promote parts of their supposed healthy menus as their main menu.
He instead comes right out and tells you his food will kill you.
And in fact it may well have killed people. Recently one of his customers, John Alleman, who was a customer spokesman in some of the restaurant's ad campaigns, had a heart attack right out in front of the Fremont Street Experience where the eatery is located, waiting for a bus. He later died in the hospital. He was 52 years old.
Alleman ate at the grill every day for a year and a half. There are a number of things on the menu and I doubt that anyone could eat one of the multiple layer, 10,000 calorie hamburgers every day, but you never know.
Did the fat and other things in the food kill Alleman? Reportedly his family has a predisposition for heart attacks. His parents apparently both died in their 50s of one.
The restaurant also recently lost another standard customer and unofficial spokesman who weighed in at over 400 lbs. He ate there regularly too, because you see the restaurant will give anyone over 350 pounds a free stacked burger.
There have also been other heart attacks right inside the restaurant as well. I doubt the food immediately caused the ailments; maybe it was the prices, because I understand the hamburgers there are not priced like they are on a dollar menu.
Some in the media and medical world have proclaimed Jon Basso, the owner of the establishment to be the same as a drug dealer. They say he metes out substances, in this case very fatty food, which eventually kills his customers. I think they are partially irked because he also goes to work and appears on commercials for his restaurant in doctors clothing, stethoscope and all. He knows that eating too much of the food he serves is not good for you, and he says so. He doesn't try and cover up what he really sells by giving kids slices of fruit instead of fries or salads in place of hearty (no pun intended) burgers. In fact I have heard him state on television that his burgers are a sinful thing, but something many people want once in awhile.
This whole line of thinking about people who make products that kill people being bad people is a guilt trip that some want to perpetrate upon the owners of such companies in particular and to a larger extent on all of us. If what they say about Basso's restaurant taking advantage of human weaknesses is true, are Utah State Liquor stores the same, pushers as well? The media and do-gooders also put the same kinds raps on those who make, distribute and sell firearms. Should the owners of Mars Candy Company be in jail because they make great tasting candy bars, which if you eat them all the time they will kill you, be in jail for what they do? They also try to portray those that make and sell ATVs as evil because some people lose their lives on them and others tear up the countryside with the machines. The list of do-gooder's targets can go on and on.
The truth is that this entire thing is really not about what people serve others to eat, drink, or use. It is about, instead, personal responsibility.
I have heard people say the America is in decline because we have lost our moral compass or our will to fight for our freedom. Some say Americans are all fat and lazy. Some say that we concentrate too much on entertainment and sports, rather than on more important things in life like our families and social problems. This list of complaints and failures about Americans is endless. We are targets of the media and moralists who want us to be something else other than what we are.
But to my way of thinking, if we have lost our way, it's because we have spent too much time in the last 50 years trying to blame others for our own weaknesses rather than taking responsibility for ourselves. Many in our society spend a lot of time being or striving to be victims. Unfortunately they seemingly also enjoy it.
That isn't to say there aren't people out there who have made shoddy products or served bad food over the years which did victimize people. People and companies who do those things should be punished. But as a society we have moved from taking on companies that manufactured unsafe cars and making them fix the problems to instead making them responsible for a flaw in the tail light lens of a vehicle and then saying that flaw caused someone to run into the back of another car. We have gone from saying that cigarettes are bad for you (which they are) to blaming the American capitalistic system for producing ads that sell those perfectly legal products. We constantly go on witch hunts to find someone to blame for actions we individually took throughout our lives that we knew were dangerous or unhealthy. We don't care when we are 20 about warnings people have given us, but at 60, suddenly, there should be someone to blame for our situation.
Certainly, people should know about dangers a product may pose. And I realize that if a parent starts a child out with the wrong kind of diet it is very hard to change those habits over the years. But whose responsibility is it to see that children are taught to eat well? Do we need a fast food joint holding our hands telling us what is good and is bad for us? Do we want do-gooders standing around every corner guilting us out about the five things we did today that could affect our health?
Americans love personal freedom. If we want to do something and someone says no, we tend to rebel. But with that freedom to do what we want, own what we want, act like we want, and certainly eat what we want, there also comes responsibility.
And while I might eat at Jon Basso's restaurant when I go to Las Vegas just to see what it is like, I would never eat that kind of food day after day. It's my choice and no one is forcing me to go there.
You see Basso has told us all what he serves can kill us and I believe him.
So when did being completely honest, even in the name of promoting a business, become a bad thing?

Anthony was acquitted last year of murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee, whose remains were found in 2008. She is currently serving probation on check fraud charges at an undisclosed location.

Section 10s Class D Basketball Champions, the Hammond Girls and the Madrid-Waddington Boys, representing two programs which have enjoyed great success in state tournament action will be host regional games against Section 7 Champions tonight at SUNY Potsdam.
The 20-2 Lady Red Devils are looking to follow in the footsteps of a series of Shawn Dack-coached teams which have qualified for the New York State Final Four.Most notably the back-to-back state championships won in 2007-2008.
Madrid-Waddington (16-7) is looking to retrace the team-of-destiny steps of last years Yellowjacket squad which reached the NYS Championship game before losing to Sackets Harbor in an All Northern New York duel.
Hammond will face 19-1 Elizabethtown-Lewis, a 49-34 winner over Moriah in the Section 7 finals, at 6 p.m. tonight. M-W will follow with a match against Moriah (8-11) which upset previously undefeated Schroon Lake 48-45 in Saturday nights Section 7 finals.
Tonights winners advance to regional finals action on Saturday against Section 2 champions on the road.
Three Section 10 champions in the Massena (A) and Salmon River (B) Girls and OFA Boys (B) all drew byes to regional finals at SUNY Potsdam on Saturday. The Class C Champion Canton Girls (overall Section 10 champions) will play at a Section 2 on Tuesday and Massena (A) and St. Lawrence (C) Boys will play at Section 2 sites on Wednesday.
Hammond vs Elizabethtown-Lewis: The Red Devils and the Lions are ranked fifth and sixth in this weeks state poll and both teams are unbeaten against Class D opponents. The Red Devils are led by one of the most complete players in the state in Alyssa Crosby who will play all five positions, from the post to the point, defending on the defensive tactics and game situation. Crosby, a two-time NAC Co-MVP and 2013 Jan Reetz Award winner, averages 19 points, 13 rebounds and four steals per game. She scored 28 points in the 43-40 Class D title win over Heuvelton and 24 in the 39-35 Class D2 finals over Chateaugay.
Its difficult to prepare for someone of her caliber, said E-L Coach Don Ratliff to the Plattsburgh Press Republican. I do have a game plan and so well see if we can run it.
The plan will most likely include the fullcourt man-to-man pressure and a cast of nine players who have regularly contributed especially on the boards.
Coach Dack is looking for his team to play a complete game to counter the extra defensive attention placed on Crosby. Gabby Marshall (7.1) has made 43 3s on the year, point guard Courtney Bova averages 7.9 points per game and Mikayla Horton averages 6.1 points per game. Brianne Langtry provides reliable play guard and forward and Cassi Whalen, Emily Bush and Hailey Ogden are solid rebounders. Tayler Bowman and Macy Wilson have also seen regular action in the rotation. Lily Whalen (14.6) and Shonna Brooks (12.4) are the offensive leaders for the Lions who feature four four-year starters. Waiting in the wings is the states top-ranked team 21-0 Fort Edward.
M-W Vs Moriah: The no. 23 state-ranked Yellowjackets became the postseason story in Section 10 winning the Class D crown from the sixth seed and beating three NAC Division champions (Chateaugay 68-52, Edwards-Knox 51-49 and St. Regis Falls 57-41) along the way.
The Jackets did it with their defense which dominated the second half of the Class D title game. Defense which creates the open floor opportunities which are ideal for senior point guard Colin OBryan (13.8 points per game) who provides classic floor leadership with triple double capabilities.
Richard Wright (11.3 ppg) and Maurice Rease (8.6 ppg) have struck for 30 and 24 three-pointers while Greg Thompson (9.5 pp) has paced the inside offensive production. Terry Crump, Jacob Barney and Zach Brock have also been consistent playmakers on both sides of the ball.
Moriah reversed an overtime loss to Schroon Lake in the regular season and a series of its losses came against larger schools. Leading the Vikings is freshman center Adam Jaquish (12.9 ppg) who registered a near triple double of 15 points, 14 rebounds and seven blocks in a sectional semi-final win.
Waiting in the wings to host tonights winner in Saturdays regional finals is undefeated and number one state-ranked Section 2 Champion Argyle.

A metronome and tuner with wireless connectivity that allows a group of performers with a BBS-1 to feel or hear the same beat simultaneously.
The BBS-1 BodyBeat Sync builds on the silent pulsing metronome concept by allowing an unlimited number of performers-each equipped with a BBS-1-to synchronously feel or hear the same beat it through wireless connectivity. FCC approved, the BBS-1 transmits outside of standard wireless audio range so multiple groups can perform in the same area with no interference from one group to another.
Program tempos into the Peterson metronome's intuitive user interface and recall them as presets. You can also program them from a scoring program that's complete with complex changes and the BodyBeat Sync will store your tempo map in its memory.
You can either rehearse with it audibly or perform with it silently.
Peterson Electro-Musical Products introduced the first new approach in metronome technology in decades with the original BB-1 BodyBeat pulsating metronome. This wireless metronome is now used worldwide by music students and professionals alike.

Comments about Peterson BodyBeat Sync BBS-1 - Wireless Pulsating Metronome:
The ability to save the tempos I use at shows is very nice. I like being able to quickly get to the tempo of the next song.
I bought this mainly for the vibe clip though. I was very into the idea of not needing to wear headphones while drumming. We use time sensitive samples that require a click. The vibe clip, unfortunately, is useless for a live drummer. When this arrived I used the clip at home and played guitar along with it. Seemed to work, but I noticed I could HEAR the vibe clip vibrating. However, at my practice space my drums drown out the sound of the vibration and the "feeling" is very faint and just doesn't work as a metronome. It was a great idea, but just doesn't work. Back to headphones for me.
Using the vibe clip to avoid noise in a studio most likely won't work. The vibration is loud enough for a condenser mic to pick up.
Comments about Peterson BodyBeat Sync BBS-1 - Wireless Pulsating Metronome:
My daughter likes the tuner a lot and she seems to practice a little bit longer than usual. Hopefully, this gadget will help improve her skills and abilities and propel her into the next level as a soloist.
My daughter really likes the tuner that came with the metronome. She indicated that she liked that feature in the new gadget since the app from her Ipod Touch only provided the beats.
Such a compact product with a lot of features. The quality seems to be superb and we hope to keep using the metronome for many more years into the future.
Price was a little high; however, with all the additional features that came with this gadget, it seems to be worth the cost of the item.
Comments about Peterson BodyBeat Sync BBS-1 - Wireless Pulsating Metronome:
The only thing that really bugs me is that the pulsating output bypasses the headphone output. Sometimes the clip moves around and I lose contact with pulse generator. It would be nice to have both so that in certain positions, when the pulse is not contacting my body as much as necessary, I could still have 2 points of reference. Other than that this things is a trip! The pulse is especially useful for practice sessions where the practice pad would disappear in the audio click of my Dr. beat when I'm right on the beat. oh yeah but not coming with a wall charging adapter is also kind of sucky. what is with that Peterson?

Sai Yok National Park
The park covers approximately 300-square-kilometers and contains several interesting caves and the nations famous Sai Yok Yai waterfall. The park has dense forests, including majestic teak trees and an abundance of small mammals such as squirrels, bats and deer, as well as numerous bird species. IN addition, the park is home to what is probably the smallest mammal in the world, the two-grammed Kittis Hog-nosed Bat, which was first discovered in 1973 by a Thai naturalist. The park is 104 kilometers from Kanchanaburi via Highway No. 323 and can also be reached by chartered boat from the Pak Saeng Pier. The park is very popular during the weekends. Bungalow accommodations, river rafts, camping facilities, and a daytime food market are available.

Home to a large ethnic population, including the Mon, Karen and Burmese, who have long settled in the border towns of Sangkhlaburi and Thong Pha Phum. Most tour operators in Kanchanaburi offer trips to these areas that combine culture and adventure in one easily accessible package. Some of the best hiking trails are in three national parks: Saiyok in Saiyok District and Erawan and Chalerm Rattanakosin in Srisawat District.
On the western border, Kanchanaburi is a popular adventure destination thanks to its mountainous terrain, covered with forests and crisscrossed with a network of rivers. Jungle rafting can be arranged from a mountain pass to the stunning Lawa Cave, a two-hour journey. Bamboo and inflatable rafts are also available for a trip down the Songkalia in Sangkhlaburi.
The Bridge on the River Khwae (the Death Railway Bridge)
Thanks to several films and books, the Bridge on the River Khwae has become notoriously famous and attracted both Thais and foreigners to the site. If an ordinary black iron bridge can tell a story, you can be sure it's a dramatic one.
The bridge spans across Maenam Khwae Yai which is a branch of Maenam Mae Klong. During the Japanese occupation of Thailand in World War II, the Japanese Imperial Army brought the iron bridge from Java. It was then resembled by Allied Prisoners of War (POW) under Japanese supervision. The bridge was part of a strategic railway route to Myanmar in which the Japanese aimed to secure supplies with which to conquer other western Asian countries. It was 415 kilometers long (about 303 kilometers in Thailand and about 112 kilometers in Burma) and passed through the Three Pagoda Pass in Sangkhlaburi District, the northern most part of Kanchanaburi province.
The railway currently ends at Ban Tha Sao or Namtok Station, a distance of some 77 km. from Kanchanaburi Station. A special train running from Bangkok to Namtok Station is available on weekends and national holidays. For further details, please contact the State Railway of Thailand, Tel. 0 1690, 0 2220 4334 or www.railway.co.th
Day 3 : Kanchanaburi - Ayutthaya
Huai Mae Khamin Waterfall
A major attraction in Sri Nakarin National Park is this lovely seven-tiered waterfall, which is conveniently accessible by foot via a trial near the parks headquarters.

Bungalow accommodations are available; however, visitors are advised to bring their own food as there are food outlets available.

Bang Pa-In Summer Palace
This Royal Palace dates back to the reign of King Rama V. The buildings within the palace represent a variety of Thai, Chinese and Victorian styles.
The small lake in the center features a large Thai pavilion, considered a classic example of Thai architecture.
The Chao Phraya Express Boat company runs tours to the Palace from Bangkok on the weekends.
Admission: THB50.
Highway 32

Tel. : +66 2 224 9477
Open Hours : 8:30 am to 5:00 pm
Ticket Office: 8:30 am to 3:30 pm
Wat Chaiwatthanaram
Located on the bank of the Maenam Chao Phraya, to the west of the city island is Wat Chaiwatthanaram. Built in 1630 by King Prasat Thong to honor his mother, Wat Chai Wattanaram was conceived as a replica of the Angkor temple. A Royal monastery, the temples unique feature is a huge prang which is surrounded by smaller prangs. This symbolizes Mount Meru, the abode of the heavenly gods. Now restored, the temple is also accessible by a long-tailed boat trip from Chankasem Palace Pier. This 1-hour trip to the temple costs approximately 300-400 bahts (round-trip). Entry fee to the temple itself is 20 bahts.
Ayutthaya Historical Park
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ayutthaya's historic temples are scattered throughout this once magnificent city and along the encircling rivers. Several of the more central ruins Wat Phra Si Sanphet, Wat Mongkhon Bophit, Wat Na Phra Meru, Wat Thammikarat, Wat Ratburana and Wat Phra Mahathat can be visited on foot.
It is possible to add more temples and ruins to travel itineraries by touring the city on a rented bicycle. An ideal combination of modes of transportation for visitors interested in seeing everything would be to hire a bicycle for the central temples and charter a long-tail boat to take a tour of the outlying ruins along the river.
Ayutthaya Historical Park is situated opposite the Chao Sam Phraya National Museum. The main attraction in the historical park is Viharn Phramongkol Bophit which houses one of the largest bronze Buddha images in Thailand.

I don't actually believe there are bells at UT. From what I recall of visiting last April ('05) there weren't any bells to signal class periods. Now maybe that's changed, but there weren't any then. It's a little... unprofessional... to be honest
i hope i'm in the cool clique!

NikaNice Concept, But Too BigI definitely needed one of these for my makeup counter, which is overflowing with goodness! I like the concept of it, being able to neatly put away my makeup into the provided slots, but was not prepared for how big the thing is. It doesn't fit into the standard size drawer, and if put on the table, took up the entire counter. I would have loved to slot everything on the side, but it was just too big and clunky. So, nice concept, but not a big fan.2 out of 2 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Archive for the 'TC-264 Sno-Buggy' tag
54-wheel-drive: The LeTourneau electric arctic land trains that put Australian road trains to shame
We have our friends at BigLorryBlog to thank for posting a vintage ad the other day that sent us seeking information about the longest vehicles of all time that ended up providing parts for the most beloved monster truck of all time: the LeTourneau land trains, built to access the most remote reaches of the arctic and to dwarf just about any other land vehicle in both size and sheer testicular fortitude.
Originally conceived to assist logging in trackless wilderness, LeTourneau, famed for its earthmovers, devised the first of its land trains, the VC-12 Tournatrain, in 1953-1954 with a lead cab and three trailers. A 500hp Cummins diesel powered a generator that then fed electric motors at each wheel, thus spreading the power application across 16 wheels to enhance traction. A later iteration of the Tournatrain added a second Cummins and four more trailers to put 32 drive wheels to the ground.
Though pitched to the Army, LeTourneau never found a buyer for the VC-12. The Army did, however, offer to fund the 1954 TC-264 Sno-Buggy, an eight-wheeled super-sized Tonka toy that used a butane-fired Allison engine to run the generators that fed power to four electric motors. A four-wheeled, non-powered trailer went with it.

Legislative Session Ends
On June 23 the Louisiana Legislature adjourned its current session. Three proposed measures with anti-evolution implications died at that point. HCR50 and SB1125 never came up for consideration in their assigned committees. HB1782, forbidding the "printing and distribution of false or fraudulent material" was passed in committee, but tabled on the floor of the House of Representatives. Previous items on this page have further information about these measures.
Sweet 16 for Edwards
June 19, 2003, is the 16th anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in Edwards v. Aguillard, which ruled that it is unconstitutional to require the teaching of "creation science" in the public schools.
Creationism a topic before standards committee forms
Even before the committee that will draft Minnesota's new science standards has been assembled, creationism has already become news.
WCCO Channel 4 News in the Twin Cities has posted a story on its web site about the drafting of new standards, which mentions the potential upcoming controversy over the science standards.
The complete story can be found here. [Link has expired]
Honors for Alters, Ayala, and Ruse
Three valued supporters of NCSE recently were honored.
Brian J. Alters, the director of the Evolution Education Research Centre at McGill University, received the Faculty of Education Award for Distinguished Teaching from McGill University at its spring convocation on June 3.
General Assembly Adjourns
On June 5 the South Carolina General Assembly adjourned its current session. Among the proposed bills killed by this action was S153, which had passed the Senate and was waiting for action in a House committee. As outlined in another story on this page, this bill would have established a 19-member "Science Standards Committee" to "(1) study science standards regarding the teaching of the origin of species; (2) determine whether there is a consensus on the definition of science; (3) determine whether alternatives to evolution as the origin of species should be offered in schools.

536 AD and all that
The second peak in the picture is dated at 534 AD which is close enough to 536 AD given the one or two year uncertainty in counting. Note that the 534 AD peak is actually smaller than the one a few years earlier. In assessing the importance of an eruption though, it isn't enough to have just a peak in Greenland. That could simply signify an eruption that was close by. Instead, people look for a matching peak in Antarctica. This signifies that the eruption was likely tropical and the aerosols were carried into both hemispheres by the stratospheric circulation. Here is where previous attempts often faltered. The dating of ice cores in Antarctica is less exact than in Greenland because the accumulation is slower (it doesn't snow as much). However, the relatively new Dronning Maud Land (DML) core has comparable resolution to the Greenland ones, and this one does have a clear sulphate peak at about 542 +/- 17 years. That is good enough to be a match to the 536 AD peak in Greenland. The correction you'd need to make to align them exactly would also fix some other apparent offsets for smaller events in the subsequent 100 years.
So it probably was a volcano, somewhere in the tropics, and it was likely the size of Tambora in 1815. There has been some speculation that it was an earlier eruption of Krakatoa (which went off again in 1883), but that is uncertain, as are the numerous consequences such as the fall of the Rome or the rise of Islam which have been attributed to this event. While not exploring that too deeply, this quote from Michael the Syrian indicates dramatically the potential for climate events like this one to really spoil your day:
"The sun was dark and its darkness lasted for eighteen months; each day it shone for about four hours; and still this light was only a feeble shadow … the fruits did not ripen and the wine tasted like sour grapes."
