The primary race for Watertown City Council has not produced much heated debate among its six candidates.
After spending nearly three months getting their messages out, the candidates are using the last couple of days before the primaries to remind folks to vote, they said. Turnout is expected to be low, so letting people they know personally even friends and family members could be a make-or-break situation.
The candidates intend to go door to door during the waning days of the primary campaign, they said.
Councilwoman Teresa R. Macaluso said she will continue to combine her business with campaigning. She intends to remind her customers to vote for her Tuesday when they stop at Brew Ha Ha, 468 Coffeen St., for coffee.
I do a lot of interacting, she said. Ill talk shop when they order their coffee.
Four political newcomers are challenging Ms. Macaluso and Councilman Jeffrey M. Smith. The other candidates are Jasmine W. Borreggine, Stephen A. Jennings, Cody J. Horbacz and Rodney J. LaFave.
The top four vote-getters in the primary will move on to the general election Nov. 5. Elected offices in the city are nonpartisan; any registered voter can vote in the primary.
With few signs that the public has paid close attention to the race, some local political observers predict that voters will not flock to the polls.
Council primaries were held in 2003 and 2005, when five candidates sought seats. In 2003, a total of 2,284 people voted, with Mr. Smith accumulating the most votes with 1,199, and the last-place finisher receiving 286, according to the Jefferson County Board of Elections. Numbers dropped two years later with 1,140 voters going to the polls. The winner ended up with 735 votes and the last-place finisher had 375.
Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham predicted the winner of Tuesdays primary could get 900 to 1,000 votes and the last-place finisher could squeak out about 300.
While he would not predict how many residents would vote Tuesday, Jerry O. Eaton, Republican elections commissioner for the Jefferson County Board of Elections, said the 2003 primary produced high turnout, but numbers for local elections have been going down since then, while the citys population has been on the rise.
Despite that, the six candidates said they heard that voters are excited about the primary.
I think having six people in the race draws attention, said Mr. Horbacz, who has criticized the City Council for not listening to constituents.
At a meet-the-candidates night Thursday, a panelist asked Mr. Horbacz whether he will be accessible if he is elected in November. He pulled out his cellphone and told the audience that constituents would always be able to reach him on it.
He also was strongly critical of the way council members handled a controversial zoning change involving roomers living in single-family homes in residential A districts.
During the campaign, Mr. Horbacz has used social media, mainly his Facebook page, Cody for Watertown, to communicate with voters, getting more than 700 hits. Its been an effective tool that he will continue to use to persuade residents to go to the polls, he said.
While she did not accumulate as many responses as Mr. Horbacz, Mrs. Borreggine also has relied on Facebook to communicate with voters, first informing them of how to register and then letting them know how she stands on city issues and about her activities during the campaign. She also intends to use it to see if people need a ride to the polls Tuesday.
Throughout her campaign, she has said that the city should lower taxes to keep more people here and that government should have a limited role in peoples lives. To keep property taxes down, Mrs. Borreggine has proposed establishing nominal fees to use some public venues, such as the citys pools.
Mr. Jennings turned to his own Web page to get his views and other campaign information out.
He has said he would like the city to do more to improve housing and neighborhoods since announcing his candidacy in June. Mr. Jennings, a public health planner/public information officer with the Jefferson County Public Health Service, said his active community involvement will help him if he is elected.
He has served on or led many community and state boards and councils, including Hospice of Jefferson County, the Fort Drum Regional Health Planning Organization and a state cancer consortium.
I have shown that I will listen, and I will deliver, he said.
Mr. LaFave was not as active on social media, but relied more on going door to door to get face time with voters. That works better for him, he said.
His campaign has promoted providing more assistance to locally owned small businesses, establishing an annual inspection program to ensure rental property is kept up to code and supporting staffing and equipment levels for the police and fire departments.
I will do whats in the best interest for all residents, all the time, he said.
Neither Mr. Smith nor Ms. Macaluso has ventured into social media for their campaigns. They use only the more conventional ways of campaigning talking to voters, putting up lawn signs and doing media interviews to drum up support. If they are in the top four on Tuesday, the two incumbents said they will begin a full-court press during the election campaign.
Mr. Smith has run on his 10-year record, citing state Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapolis glowing report on the citys finances earlier this year. As he has worked with his colleagues on the council, Mr. Smith said, property taxes have gone down during the past six years, the citys bond rating has gone up and city debt has been reduced.
I dont think we should rest on our laurels, he said. There are things we can do better.
Mr. Smith said he is willing to take on a sacred cow, looking hard at staff levels for the police and fire departments. Council members should consider reducing the size of the departments by not filling vacant positions as employees retire. He pointed to two vacant positions in the fire department that were eliminated during this years budget cycle.
Ms. Macaluso, whos running for a second four-year term, said she believes people already know her and what she has done on the council. She thinks voters like her no-nonsense style in approaching city government.
In her four years, she has become a close ally of Mayor Graham, who has relied on her to back him on many issues. She also was the only council member who strongly condemned the zoning change the so-called roommate law that became a public relations nightmare for the city earlier this year. She has called it ridiculous, stressing the city should not get into peoples bedrooms.
As for the primary, she said shes been irritated with some candidates who have promised such things as cutting taxes without saying how they will accomplish them.
I dont promise things I cant do, she said.
While the six candidates differ on many of the issues, the biggest flap during the campaign season ended up having to do with a ballot mistake that the Board of Elections made. The ballots indicated residents could vote for four of the six candidates on Tuesday when actually they can vote for only two.
Mr. Eaton said he doesnt believe the error will have much impact on Tuesdays results, however. Of the 299 absentee ballots sent out, 253 were for senior voters who typically dont vote on election day because they live in nursing homes and are unable to go to the polls, he said.
He expects the overwhelming majority of new ballots will be returned to his office by Monday.

- February's best retail deals
- The return of the 'active' fund manager?
- Keep running until you're 101
Diners — those classic prefab American eateries serving up comfort food at affordable prices — are beginning to fade into history. Some of the country's largest diner-style chains averaged annual declines of 5% to 25% from 2007 to 2011, while the overall industry remained flat. Indeed, one of the country's best known manufacturers of prefabricated diners, Kullman Building Corp., ceased operations in 2011. In today's Personal Finance pages, see why diners are headed for extinction, and what proprietors are doing about it.
Plus, find out why February may be one of the best shopping months of the year. And read why some Wall Street pros say changing industry dynamics — and investor attitudes — will make it difficult for active fund managers to return to center stage.
— Alice Hagge, staff editor
10 things diners won't tell you
What's cooking behind the chrome-plated exterior? Diners have been part of the American way of life for more than a century. They've been celebrated in movies, sitcoms — even museum exhibits. But these popular restaurants, known for their vast menus of comfort-food favorites, low prices and neighborhood vibe, are no longer the dominant force they once were.

10 things direct-sales marketers won't say
From Amway to Herbalife, peeling the lid off multilevel marketers. Direct-sales and multilevel-marketing companies will hire you to peddle everything from toys to nutritional supplements to utilities, through parties and solo demonstrations. Salespeople earn commissions on their sales, and in many cases, on those of new salespeople they recruit. What could go wrong?

February's best retail deals
February may be short a few days compared with other months, but it surely doesn't fall short with the deals. Indeed, this may be one of the best shopping months of the year. All thanks to a combination of Presidents Day, Valentine's Day, end of winter and the after effects of a January trade show.
February's best retail deals.
The return of the 'active' fund manager?
Headlines suggesting Main Street investors are bullish on stocks have been kindling hopes that mutual-fund managers who actively trade are due for a comeback. But Wall Street pros warn changing industry dynamics—and investor attitudes—will make a return to center stage difficult.

I Love You, Beth Cooper
Buffalo Grove High School valedictorian Denis Cooverman has had quite an academic career -- on paper, at least. Superlative student, conscientious young gentleman and patently obvious dork, Denis has played it safe and made it all the way to graduation day without ever having really experienced some of the joys of higher learning: breaking curfew, destruction of property, over-consumption of alcohol, fist fights, late nights, fast cars or faster women (actually, women of any sort). But all of that is about to change, and all by uttering five little words: "I Love You, Beth Cooper."

notes I have collected:
Best Formats for Uploading
YouTube can accept almost any video format for upload, but for most users we have found the following settings give the best results.
* Video Format: MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid)
* Resolution: 640x480 pixels
* Audio Format: MP3
* Frames per second: 30
* Maximum length: 10 minutes (we recommend 2-3 minutes)
* Maximum file size: 1 GB
Your uploaded video must have a playback speed of 1.4 mbps or greater to generate the high quality viewing option. YouTube needs a minimum of 24fps to trigger the HQ encoding.
Try these for starters:
Set the video size to 480x360
frame rate to 24
Video bit rate 1500k <-- High bitrate because of the small gop size. See the keyframe interval comment.
Buffer 3 <-- What does that mean?
Video Smoothness: 95 <-- I assume this means nr=95
Keyframe interval: 10 <-- Apparently even a keyframe intreval of 3 would not be unheard of - This because frames are often dropped when streaming. - Phil Ehrens
320x240. bitrate for the video is 300 kbp/s. bitrate for the audio is 64 kbp/s mono mp3. if they use 320x240 then why the hell do they play it back at 425x350? Videobitrates are around 260 kbps, Audio is encoded to around 56 kbps, monophonic, 22050 Hz mpeg3. The enconder they use is FLV1 Flash/Sorensen http://blogs.chron.com/makingmovies/archives/2006/04/youtube_and_the.html
Two email list ramblings from Phil Ehrens:
What would be best would be something that has the same resolution as the youtube content, and that has had the higher frequency components cut off. That said, I suspect that using lavc mpeg4 2-pass with nr just high enough so that things begin to soften would be best. That way there's nothing that will be a challenge for the awful encoder that youtube will throw at it... No scaling required and no wide peaks to get chopped off. According to a friend of mine, I'm totally wrong... He says that if you encode targeting the ipod/iphone that YouTube will not reencode it. He says that this is a new unstated policy. I have no idea whether he is 100% correct, but he is not prone to making the same kind of unsupported and unverifiable statements that I am ;^)
ffmpeg -i input_file \
-f mp4 -vcodec mpeg4 \
-maxrate 1000k -b 700k -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -bufsize 4096 -g 300 \
-acodec aac -ab 192 \
-s 320x240 -aspect 4:3 output_file_name.mov
"encode targeting the ipod/iphone" - anyone know what parameters that is? according to formatpresets.C of HV's cinelerra version:
audio_channels = 1;
audio_tracks = 1;
sample_rate = 48000;
video_channels = 1;
video_tracks = 1;
frame_rate = (double)30000.0 / 1001;
output_w = 424;
output_h = 318;
aspect_w = 4;
aspect_h = 3;

PAWTUCKET — As if enough confidence wasn't radiating from Jose Iglesias already, the shortstop was privileged enough to spend part of his Thursday afternoon with a noteworthy batting practice partner.
About two hours prior to first pitch, David Ortiz emerged from the clubhouse to get a few on-field swings. Fighting through the crowded wall of TV cameras and microphones, Iglesias had every intention of stepping in the cage the moment Ortiz needed a breather.
Iglesias may have been at McCoy Stadium, but it was clear that the big leagues were still on his mind.
He understands why Boston optioned him to Pawtucket despite opening the season with a .450 average in six games – the fact that Stephen Drew was signed to serve as the everyday shortstop represents the main reason. The encouraging start hasn't dimmed Iglesias' belief that another summons is in the cards this season.
"I was disappointed, but it's out of my control. All I can do is come to the field, be a better player, take extra batting practice, learn something everyday and be a better player," said Iglesias, who was slotted in the No. 2 hole for Thursday's McCoy Stadium opener. "When I get another opportunity, I will be better that time.
"It was hard to leave the team, but I had a good time. My first Opening Day in the big leagues, it was exciting," he continued. "It was fun to win; we won a lot of games when I was there. I enjoyed it and it was great to be there."
Iglesias now must turn the page and remember to carry that big-league attitude to the ballpark each day, this despite that for the foreseeable future, he'll be honing his craft in cities such as Pawtucket, Rochester and Buffalo, not Boston, New York and Toronto.
"The situation with Stephen coming back and ready to play, I think it was great for Jose to get off to that hot start and bring that momentum down to Pawtucket," noted Red Sox director of player development Ben Crockett. "It's a small sample size, but he had a good offseason and was able to build off it during spring training."
As he spoke about feeling good, Iglesias slipped in the importance of staying healthy. During each of his three pro seasons, the Cuban defector has been sidelined for long stretches. While the staying course while in Pawtucket is a point of emphasis, the same could be said for making sure that he patrols shortstop on a regular basis.
"Certainly being on the field consistently leads to a better chance to display those skills and improve. That's a big part to the puzzle," said Crockett. "The physical routines that he went through during the offseason and the way he pushed himself has allowed him to get in a position where he can stay strong and ready to play everyday."
It's clear that Iglesias has a fan in Ortiz, who made that perfectly clear upon declaring, "Iggy is like a son to me. Man, I'm old.
"I always talk to him, and I always let him know how this game goes. Sometimes these situations are going to happen. You've got options, and the team has got to make a move," the Red Sox slugger added. "What you've got to do is come down here and keep on working hard, and the minute the team has the opportunity to need somebody, they will call you up. You've got to keep in mind that you've got to come here and bust your tail just like you were doing up in the big leagues, and everything will come through easier."
PawSox skipper Gary DiSarcina made it a point to sit down with Iglesias at his locker stall prior to the player heading out for his batting practice session with Ortiz. No doubt the pair talked about ironing out some sort of compensation for the No. 10. DiSarcina wore the number during Pawtucket's first road trip; he's now listed at No. 16 with Iglesias claiming No. 10.
DiSarcina got a sense of how Iglesias handled his first taste of MLB success – last year saw him bat .118 in 25 games with Boston – upon phoning Red Sox third base coach Brian Butterfield.
"The point of emphasis is to get Jose back up there; we don't want these guys down here," DiSarcina stressed. "He can get back there, no doubt."

Microsoft Bing has done rather well since it launched. But there is much more to come, with the site set to evolve and expand in the coming months. In fact, Bing 2.0 could be just around the corner. Meanwhile, Microsoft has had to deny it has an obsession with porn after an advert for Bing was discovered on Google alongside search results for "pornography."
Bing is truly managing to do something I never thought I'd see – it's weaning people off an over-reliance on Google. I admit, I'd got to the point where I used Google automatically, never even giving another search (or decision) engine a thought. But then Microsoft launched Bing in May and I saw there was a viable alternative out there. I now use both on a regular basis and am happy the search giant has some big-name competition at last.
It isn't perfect however, with some features needing to be tweaked and some obvious areas ripe for improvement. Andbeen that's exactly what Microsoft is planning to do sooner rather than later.
Monte Enbysk, senior editor at Microsoft Office Live, wrote, "Bing 2.0, out this month, has some exciting new features. Imagine seeing maps plus pics from the neighborhood of a restaurant to try."
As usual, Microsoft has played dumb over the speculation, stating, ""We're very excited about some of the new Bing features set to roll out over the next few months, but have nothing to announce today." But a release during September seems assured, with some indicating a launch this coming week. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see, and then hope the improvements are noticeable.
Less savory is the discovery of an advert for Bing on Google when "pornography" is searched for. TechCrunch made the discovery, so I have to assume one of their staffers likes perusing NSFW content while at work, and also doesn't know that "porn" is now used instead of "pornography by all but the upper classes. Probably.
Microsoft denied purchasing ad placement on searches of this kind and concludes "free videos" is more likely to have triggered the ad showing up. Which may well be the case. But that doesn't change the fact that Bing is widely regarded as the search engine to use to find porn. Microsoft might not like that reputation but I'm sure the traffic that comes its way as a result isn't unwanted.

If you are a nail tech or a salon owner, you know the popularity of China Glaze nail polish colors and so do your clients. After all, the China Glaze reputation is really warranted. There are several reasons why China Glaze nail polish really stands out from the rest: innovative approach to colors; integrated hardeners; and the sheer number of colors. Let's touch on each of these in a little more detail.
China Glaze takes what we like to call a lifestyle approach to nail polish colors. You see some manufacturers and they have colors likes "Cotton Candy Dreamland" and the like. It's almost as if they'll put any color out there. China Glaze, on the other hand, seems to approach their nail polish colors from a practical standpoint that considers the situations in which you'll want knockout nails: a business meeting, a night out dancing, long weekend getaways, and so forth.
Next, China Glaze looks better for longer because they blend special hardeners into each bottle of nail polish. This allows your favorite China Glaze nail polish colors to get harder than other brands, which makes them more resistant to chipping and flaking. The result? Better look nails that last longer! And really, who doesn't love that?
We mentioned a little bit about the approach China Glaze seems to take to creating nail polish colors. What we haven't mentioned yet is the sheer volume of beautiful colors they offer in total. Let's face it; we are all different. On top of that, we all have different aspects of our personality that we like to bring out in our appearance. Having such a great selection of China Glaze nail polish at hand makes it so easy to find the right color every time!
For all of your China Glaze nail polish colors needs, trust BigDaddyBeauty.com. And if you ever have a question about any of the products we offer, including China Glaze polishes, feel free to contact us either by phone at 1-866-747-2440 or via our contact page.

Bike to School Day is just around the corner on May 8th. Are you in, North Carolina?
Across North Carolina there are so many great Safe Routes to School programs in place at hundreds of schools. You can visit most any of those schools now and see bikes being parked at bike racks and parents leading kids in their walk to and from school.
The Wake County Child Safety Action Network (WakePedNet)is a varied group of individuals who share a similar goal: to raise awareness of child pedestrian injury concerns in Wake County, North Carolina to share and plan activities, and to build greater capacity to prevent pedestrian crashes and injuries.
In 2005, North Carolina began a new era in how it viewed bicycles and pedestrians on its roadways. North Carolina Department of Transportation welcomed Safe Routes to School funding and created a specialty license plate that allowed its residents to show their support for bicycle and roadway safety.
In North Carolina this year, thanks to the North Carolina Department of Transportation's (NCDOT) Safe Routes to School Coordinator Ed Johnson, the waters are "turning over" for Safe Routes to School and the prioritization of bicycle and pedestrian safety in a variety of ways and partnerships.

Solarbuzz is now bringing you more research and analysis of the solar industry through our expanded product portfolio and analyst commentary on industry and market developments. To streamline our site, we have discontinued updating some sections, including Industry News, Retail Pricing and information for those new to the solar industry. You can still sign up to receive free email summaries of the latest commentary, blogs and articles from Solarbuzz analysts.
Solar Energy Industry Electricity Prices - March 2012 Update
The solar electricity index draws exclusively upon the high power band (>125 watts) solar module prices in our survey. This price segment was down 2 cents per watt in March from the prior month. The charge controller index was down, but the inverter and battery indexes held steady. Overall, the high solar condition industrial industry index was down to 15.15 cents per kWh in March 2012.
About the Indices
The residential index is based upon a standard 2 kilowatt peak system, roof retrofit mount. It is connected to the electricity grid and has battery backup to allow it to operate during electricity downtime. It is therefore also suitable as an index for off-grid residential uses.
The commercial index is based on a 50 kW ground mounted system that is connected to the electricity grid. It provides distributed energy and excludes any backup power.
The industrial index is based on a 500 kilowatt flat roof-mounted system, suitable for large buildings. It is connected to the electricity grid and excludes back up power.
The price index includes full system integration and installation costs.
The commercial and industrial solar electricity indices benefit from discounts against retail prices that can be secured on volume purchases. When purchasing a residential solar energy system through large government or utility programs, it may be possible to secure a price more consistent with the industrial price index.
Solar energy rebate programs have not been built into the data. Many governments and utilities have incentives to reduce the cost of solar electricity, recognizing the broad economic benefits of stimulating a self-sustaining local solar energy market.
Financing cost is a significant factor in the index and is assumed to be 5% per annum, amortized over a 20-year life. The economic payback page on this site includes a discussion on ways to enhance solar energy's economic equation.
The high solar insolation index is based upon a climate with 5.5 hours of sunshine average over the year. This is typical of locations like US sunbelt states, much of Latin America, most of Africa, the Middle East, India, and Australia. Mediterranean countries, followed by Japan and then Northern Europe, have progressively lower average hours. Saharan and southern Africa, and the areas centered on Saudi Arabia, central Australia, Peru, and Bolivia are higher.

CHICAGO (AP) - Standard & Poor's has lowered Illinois' credit rating due to concern over the state's failure to address its $96 billion pension fund deficit.
The company said Friday that it downgraded Illinois' general obligation bonds from A to A-minus and has given an A-minus rating to $500 million in general obligation bonds that the state plans to issue in February.
Ratings agencies have been downgrading Illinois' credit over the last several years. Moody's Investors Services and Fitch Ratings both downgraded the state's credit outlook in recent months.
Standard & Poor's says that given the Legislature's track record, it doesn't think lawmakers will fully address the pension fund deficit. The downgrade could mean taxpayers will pay a higher interest when Illinois issues bonds to pay for construction projects or other major expenditures.

Video: Bullying: Ask the Expert Part Two
Video: Bullying: Ask the Expert Part One
Video: Bullying: Ask the Expert Part Three
(NEWS CENTER) -- In recent years, we've seen a stronger link between schools and bullying than we did even 10 years ago.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people in our country, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year. The number of suicide attempts is even greater; there are at least 100 attempts for every suicide. Based on the 2009 Maine Integrated Youth Health Survey, 23.4% of high school students in Maine were bullied on school property.
Sarah Cram says she's fortunate that she was able to help her daughter deal with her problems at school before they reached a dangerous level.
LD 1237 states that bullying means "any physical act or gesture or any verbally, written, or electronically communicated expression".
More specifically..."physically harming a student or damaging a student's property; placing a student in reasonable fear of physical harm or damage to his/her property; or substantially disrupting the instructional program or the orderly operations of the school."
"Or if it is so severe, persistent, or pervasive that it creates an intimidating, hostile education environment for the student who is bullied".
After a conversation between Sarah and the school's administration, Sarah was told everything would be handled.
When I asked John Farrington, Principal of Schenck High School, if Abby was bullied, as the state defines it, he said he couldn't answer that question without getting into the details of her specific case. He did speak to one particular student who Sarah says was the main boy making fun of her daughter.

A federal judge has dismissed a civil rights complaint brought by seizure-dog trainer Jon C. Sabin against Pierrepont Town Justice Robert G. Camp over allegations that the justice refused to let Mr. Sabin bring his own service dog into the towns courtroom.
Mr. Sabin, Colton, filed action in August in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, against Justice Camp, both personally and in his capacity as a justice, claiming Justice Camp had told Mr. Sabins attorney that he did not want Mr. Sabins service dog in the courtroom. According to court documents, Mr. Sabin claims he is a severe epileptic and a cardiac patient whose dog can alert him to oncoming seizures.
Mr. Sabin also trains seizure dogs, although the state attorney generals office has filed suit against him, alleging that his dogs could not detect seizures before they occurred and that in some cases, the dogs had received inadequate training or were aggressive. He has filed a countersuit claiming violations to his constitutional rights and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
On Tuesday, Chief Judge Gary L. Sharpe adopted Magistrate Judge David E. Peebless recommendations made last month that Mr. Sabins suit against Justice Camp be dismissed. In his recommendation, Judge Peebles noted that Mr. Sabins complaint failed to state a claim upon which any relief could be granted. The judge said that while Mr. Sabin claims in his suit that he suffers from epilepsy and cardiac illness, he does not claim that either condition limits one or more major life activities, an essential component in a claim that he was discriminated against due to a disability.
Judge Peebles also dismissed all remaining claims against Justice Camp, stating, among other things, that the justice has judicial immunity that shields him from liability in his official capacity and that it is well established that the Americans with Disabilities Act does not contemplate lawsuits against state and other municipal officials in their individual capacities.
Judge Peebles recommended that Mr. Sabin, who acted as his own attorney, be given the opportunity to correct the deficiencies in his complaint and refile a suit should he choose, an option that also was approved by Judge Sharpe. Mr. Sabin will not be allowed to replead any claims against Justice Camp personally, although he could amend his claims to include the town.

Thought it might be fun to continue something started on one of the hate mail comment trails 'You people are insane, find the truth.' Sorry I couldn't bring myself to quote the original exactly.
It goes something like this; take a well known acronym and turn it into an FSMism.
Try these for starters:
APB – Al-dente Pasta Brunch. For context see above.
LAPD – Los Angeles Pasta Department
SWAT – Spaghetti Weapons and Tactics
OK. It was a 'cop show' train of thought.
How about
MTBF – Mean time Between Fettuccine
JPEG – Joint Pasta Exploration Group
Go on. Give it a try.

- Pinch of grated nutmeg
- 1 cup milk or half-and-half
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 10-ounce jar pumpkin butter
- Chopped pistachio nuts
Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with the vegetable oil spray.
Place the squash halves, cut side down, in the prepared dish. Pierce the skin sides several times with a fork. Bake until the squash is tender, about 45 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
Using a large spoon, scrape the flesh from the cooked squash into a food processor. Discard the skins. Add 1 1/2 cups of the chicken broth, the cinnamon, marjoram, thyme, and nutmeg and puree until smooth. Transfer the puree to a large saucepan. Whisk the milk into the soup over medium heat. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add the remaining broth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Ladle the soup into warmed bowls. Top with a dollop of pumpkin butter and sprinkle with chopped pistachio nuts before serving.

Product Test: Water Infuser
The water infurser is a great idea. You simply cut up some fruit and put it inside the infuser, then add it to a pitcher of water. It puts a zest of flavor into the water and not the seeds or rhine.
Our tester liked this product and gave it two thumbs up.

DNR Announces Snakehead Contest Winners
2/28/2013 | Posted by kkingTags: Recreational, Northen Snakehead
Three anglers won nearly $300 in prizes for catching and killing snakehead fish in the Maryland Department of Natural Resources' (DNR) 2012 Snakehead Contest. Through the contest, 256 anglers removed nearly 600 fish from the Potomac River system. To enter, participants shared their experiences on the Department's Angler's Log, reporting how they caught the invasive fish, where they found them, some even sharing delicious ways to prepare them.
The contest ran from March 1 to November 30, 2012, with DNR choosing the winning anglers at random. Kasie Taylor won a $200 Bass Pro Shop gift card; Jerry Lester won a 2013 Maryland State Park Passport worth $75; and Les King won a 2013 fishing license donated by the Potomac River Fisheries Commission.
DNR launched the contest in 2010 to monitor how far the species has spread and encourage anglers to capture and remove snakeheads from Maryland waters.
The Department has included snakehead in the Inland Freshwater Survey in the Volunteer Angler Survey list, which uses anglers' catch data to help fisheries managers assess fish populations. For the 2013 fishing season, DNR is asking snakehead anglers who log their catches on the Angler's Log to also participate in the Volunteer Angler Survey with a chance to win prizes. The single-species Snakehead Contest has been discontinued.
The snakehead is a non-native fish species that was illegally introduced to the Potomac River. Snakeheads have thrived and expanded due to their ability to adapt to the Potomac's ecosystem, and they now occupy the Potomac River and many of its tributaries. As top predators, their negative impacts to the ecosystem and other important recreational and commercially valued fisheries could be significant. Snakeheads have also been caught in the Patuxent, Nanticoke and Wicomico rivers.

Searching online for a lasagna recipe might give you the impression that you have to slave away in the kitchen for hours. Not anymore! Easy lasagna is not an urban legend. This simple lasagna is truthfully named — anyone can make this "lazy man's" lasagna recipe, any day of the week.
Boil noodles according to directions. Brown the ground beef in a skillet and drain the grease. Add the spaghetti sauce and cottage cheese to the cooked meat and mix well. Layer noodles, sauce mix and remaining cheese into an 8X12 cake pan or casserole dish, repeating layers until all fillings have been used, and ending with a layer of cheese on top. (There may be noodles left.) Bake at 350 for 30 minutes until cheese on top is fully melted. Serve with garlic bread and salad for a complete meal.
I love lasagna and tried to find a quick and easy lasagna recipe on the internet. I could not find one, so I decided to create my own by combining steps. I always feed 6 to 8 people, so I needed something fast and easy.

2011 NHL DRAFT: ROUNDS 2 – 7Picks listed, your comments welcomed
Saturday's moves…
2nd round, 34th overall: D Scott Mayfield – 6-4, 200 pounds, will attend University of Denver, stay-at-home defenseman
2nd round, 50th overall: C Johan Sundstrom – 6-2, 200 pounds, Frolunda (Sweden), playmaking center
3rd round, 63rd overall: D Andrei Pedan – 6-4, 200 pounds, Guelph (OHL), bruising defensive defenseman
The Islanders traded RFA Bruno Gervais for future considerations from Tampa Bay, where he will be reunited with assistant coach Daniel Lacroix.
4th round, 94th overall: D Robbie Russo – 6-0, 190 pounds, will attend Notre Dame, puck-moving defenseman
5th round, 125th overall: LW Johan Persson – 6-2, 200 pounds, Red Deer (WHL), goal scorer
5th round, 127th overall: D Brenden Kichton – 5-10, 175 pounds, Spokane (WHL) offensive dman
7th round, 184th overall: LW Mitchell Theoret – 6,1, 210 pounds, Niagara (OHL)
The Islanders bulk up on D with Mayfield and Pedan, a few big men with solid upsides. Russo has some offensive flair on the blueline and will learn his lessons well from Jeff Jackson. Sundstrom, who will continue to gain international experience, is said to be low-risk, high reward, while Persson could get to play another season with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins if the No. 1 pick returns to Red Deer.
I was contacted via text by a few scouts today who really like Kichton. From Spokane, Kichton has the skill and smarts of ex-Isles draft pick, former Chief and current Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon, but he's a little bigger and has some room to grow. Theoret is viewed as a worthwhile project.
All of today's draftees, if they develop well enough to make it, are at least three years away from contributing regularly in the NHL and probably more.

The information provided below is a general summary of our involvement with Broward County's affordable housing program. Broward County road and park impact fees, transportation concurrency fees, administrative fees and application fees are eligible for affordable housing waivers. The specific regulations, contained in the Broward County Land Development Code, have been adopted by ordinance of the County Commission and cannot be superseded by this presentation of information.
Affordable Housing: Defined Affordable housing is defined by Chapter 420, Florida Statutes, as when the cost of monthly rents or monthly mortgage payments including taxes, insurance, and utilities, does not exceed 30% of the median adjusted gross annual income for very low, low, and moderate income households. Affordable housing is the same as market rate housing except that it costs less due to financing strategies that pass savings on to the lower income resident.
Income and housing are normally defined for a family of four and vary by county. The Land Development Code defines three affordable housing categories:
The Income Category Chart is available on the Housing Finance and Community Development Division's website.
Project Certification and Fee Waivers All proposed affordable housing projects must apply for and receive an Affordable Housing Certification Letter from the Broward County Housing Finance and Community Development Division. This letter contains the property's legal description and identifies the unit type(s) and level(s) of affordability designed for the project. Please contact the Housing Finance and Community Development Division at (954) 357-4900 for more information.
Projects designated for "very low income" or "low income" affordable housing are eligible for a 100% waiver of County road and park impact, transportation concurrency, administrative and application fees, and may be eligible for expedited permit review (in the unincorporated area only).
On January 21, 2015, the School Board adopted Resolution No. 15-104 which set aside a fixed amount ($375,000/year) for affordable housing waivers targeted for "very low" income projects. Each project could be eligible for up to $25,000 in school impact fee waivers. Funding for these fee waivers will be available July 1, 2015.
Restrictive CovenantIn order to complete the affordable housing process, Broward County requires the property owner and its Mortgagee(s) to execute and record a "Declaration of Restrictive Covenant for Affordable Housing." The Declaration requires the signatures of all property owners and mortgagees. In order to verify the property owners and mortgagees, the Broward County Attorney's Office requires the applicant to submit an Opinion of Title with the restrictive covenant. The covenant runs with the property and ensures that the affordability of the residential units will be maintained at a specified income level(s) for a period of at least 20 years for rental housing and at least 10 years for owner-occupied housing.
NOTE: The Declaration of Restrictive Covenant for Affordable Housing must be recorded in the Broward County Records prior to the issuance of a building permit.

The concert by the USU Eastern Chamber Choir and Price Civic Chorale and Orchestra continued a community tradition that began 63 years ago. Singers and orchestra members come from Carbon and Emery counties, with many having performed in the annual concert for more than a decade. There was room for all the players on the remodeled stage of the Price Civic Auditorium, but the group was wider than the camera lens could handle. Some members on the edges of the stage didn't fit the frame. We'll have a wider lens for the 65th performance next year.

Soothing Sensitive Skin Mask
Soothing Sensitive Skin Mask is a good moisturizing mask for normal to dry skin.
Skin Recovery Hydrating Treatment Mask
Skin Recovery Hydrating Treatment Mask contains an outstanding combination of rich plant oils and essential fatty acids.
Add to Faves?
Facial masks can be a pampering, relaxing interval for women, but for good skin care, what you do daily is vastly more important than what you do once a week or once a month. For those who enjoy using facial masks, those that made the Best Products list contain:
The Paula's Choice Research Team doesn't get too excited about facial masks. First, as you will see from the limited options on this list, there are not many exciting, interesting, or particularly helpful facial masks.
Many facial masks for normal to oily skin contain clay as their main ingredient, along with some thickening agents. Although that can be a benefit because it absorbs oil, the improvement is short-lived, not long-term. Other masks contain clay as well, but also include water-binding agents and plant oils, and that can make them better for normal to combination or slightly dry skin.
Masks for normal to dry skin are often just moisturizers and nothing more, and don't necessarily warrant the extra time it takes to apply them. They aren't bad for skin, they just aren't a necessary step. If you opt to use such masks, try leaving them on overnight for maximum results.
There are also masks that contain a plasticizing agent that you subsequently pull or peel off your skin. These do impart a temporary soft feeling to the skin because what you're doing is pulling off a layer of skin, but that is hardly beneficial or lasting (and we do not rate this type of mask favorably because they are irritating).
The Paula's Picks in this category are the masks that either have a unique, beneficial twist (such as a clay mask that absorbs excess oil and imparts soothing agents without stripping skin) or, as is the case for every facial mask for normal to dry or very dry skin, feature outstanding formulas that supply skin with helpful ingredients.
Any of the moisturizing masks for normal to very dry skin will work even better if left on overnight, and there are no ingredients in the masks listed below that are harmful or irritating if left on skin longer than the directions indicate.

The legendary Kelly Slater has claimed the ASP World Tour title for an unprecedented 10th time with a victory in the Rip Curl Pro Search in Puerto Rico.
Slater's 45th elite tour win followed hot on the heels of his world title, which was confirmed when he progressed past the quarterfinal stage of the surf season's penultimate event in Porta Del Sol.
The 38-year-old has been back to his incredible best this year and he continued that form by defeating Bede Durbidge in the final in pumping three-to-four foot waves by scoring a perfect 10 and a huge 18.77 points overall to the Australian's 14.43.
The Rip Curl Pro Search was postponed for two days as a mark of respect for Tuesday's passing of former three-time world champion Andy Irons and in the end, the event was a fitting tribute to the Hawaiian with some of the best surfing displays in recent memory on show.
"It's been an emotional week. I don't think Andy [Irons] has been far from anyone's minds." -Michel Bourez
"To be close to Florida and to win the 10th and get that wave [the perfect 10] in the final, there is nothing else I could add to it. The wave that did it for me was that first one in the quarterfinals against Adriano (de Souza)," Slater said. "That was the heat I needed to win to get the title, and after that first wave, I felt this wave of relief.
"I still had to win the heat, but I was so relaxed and everything just started going my way. I was in the best possible headspace I could have been in for the rest of the day. This is a dream."
Meanwhile, Michel Bourez posted the best result of his career by finishing equal third at the Rip Curl Pro Search, where he reached the semifinals. The 24-year-old from Tahiti took out lethal rookie Owen Wright and current ASP World No. 2 Jordy Smith with a blend of uncompromising power surfing. Although unable to overtake Durbidge in the semi finals, Bourez was delighted with his display, which moved him inside the world's top-ten.
"I'm disappointed but very happy with my result," Bourez said. "It's the best result of my career. It's been an emotional week. I don't think Andy [Irons] has been far from anyone's minds at all. It's so sad, but I think we all surfed for him and everyone was ripping the past two days."
The final stop on the 2010 ASP World Tour will be the Billabong Pipeline Masters from December 8-20, 2010.
