|Climbed through the maze of fins with Jamie, he had been there before so the routefinding went really quick. Only used the rope for the two rappels, we felt the class 5 sections were brief and not too difficult, but all parties should asses their owns skills and risk threshold when it comes to where to rope up, and where not to.

|10/15/10- back visiting an old friend w/steve and jim on a beautiful utah, bluebird desert day. always love this adventure!
11/28/09- toured a cold elephant butte w/aaron and mike garratt. didn't want to linger too long in the shade before a late sun started making things comfortable.
11/7/09- cruised this baby again w/mike. bumped into bob dawson and sharon adams along the way, whom we joined forces with for an enjoyable outing.
5/19/09- summited the maze of elephant butte with jessica and josh. they did awesome for newbies but took more time(5-5.5 hours) than i imagined. the 5.4 crux wasn't what i expected but it wouldn't be an issue for a competent climber whatsoever.
can't wait to do it again!

|We ended our memorable UT trip with Elephant Butte, and it was my favorite climb of the weekend. Loads of eye candy and quality scrambling on this one. I wish we had more time to explore it as we had to get down before it got dark. I will have to return someday. Hard to beat the bang for the buck on this one.

|3/23/09 - This climb is an absolute gem, short but very sweet. Fun and relatively easy scrambling nearly the whole way. Awesome scenery, never a dull moment. We got a late start at 4pm but it only took 2:30 car to car. The route description here worked well for us.
4/11/09 - Returned with my brother and his girlfriend. Despite never having scrambled or climbed before, they did a great job and had fun. It rained for a few minutes during/after the ascent rappel, making the slickrock a little slick. Luckily it stopped and the rock dried out very quickly. It took us about 3 hrs this time as the newbies needed a little help here and there.
Note about the crux: We felt it was more like 5.2, not 5.4. The newbies had little problem climbing it (roped of course). Despite what the poster says below, setting up a proper belay at the top is perfectly reasonable. Its true that the leader must climb it unprotected, but exposure is minimal and a fall wouldn't be the end of the world. A spot from below would be fairly effective in breaking a fall.

|We drove down from Ogden for this climb on a sunny winter day. The route didn't disappoint as the climbing was fun and the views great. Only a few summitters over the years, but this is one of my favorite climbs/hikes that I've done.

Date Climbed: May 11, 2007
|What an amazing adventure! Took an afternoon to find the correct entrance, but once we did, it was on. Some of the best hiking/scrambling/rappelling I've done thus far...and all in one half-day. (Not even really. Took us just over 4 hours roundtrip.) Would definitely do it again in a heartbeat. By the way, we spoke to a ranger who had climbed it the day before we did, and mentioned they had just added new webbing to the rap stations.

|The route description is pretty good - definately enough to get you in trouble. I'd like to touch on the "5.4" climbing pitch.
After you scramble out of the sandy beach (10' sandstone ramp to a 30' blocky corner) you arrive at a giant sandstone bowl. You enter the area from the bottom, where some large boulders are sitting. The bowl has a 3" wide sloping ledge around it that you can walk on. You have to scramble up 10' or so to the base of the climbing section and then ascend the 15' of "5.4" rock. I would rate it at least 5.5X. There is no option for pro and while a belay sounds like a good idea, it will more likely result in 2 dead bodies instead of 1. A fall on this would break plenty of bones as you bounce from ledge to ledge and hit the boulders in the base of the bowl. A solid 5.4 climber would not be comfortable doing this unless he/she can forget that there is such a danger below. Then, even if you get past this short scary part, there is a second steep face you have to get over to get to the anchors. This is no walk in the park either (not protectable).
We got lucky. An experienced climber happened to show up just as we were turning back. We weren't going to risk it. The drizzle that began didn't instill any confidence either. Dave helped us by giving us a fixed rope. Even with a fixed line, it was a little sketchy. I've never hesitated getting on a 5.4, as long as the protection was there. This move seemed ackward and harder, definately deserving an R or X rating.
After the rappel, the rain picked up. This made the ascent up tough. We got to just below the upper cliff band when our shoes became pretty slippery and we decided to head down. We were close, but didn't know how long the rain would last. It drenched the rocks and made mini streams and pools. After getting into the correct drainage, just before the rappel, the rain stopped. The pool was quite full and water was going over the edge during the rappel. It was fun. After the rappel, there is one more section of downclimbing that took a little thought. There are hand and foot holds, but they are not easy to see from above. We followed the drainage out to the road and then back to the car.
Looking back, Elephant Butte is a quality adventure. Having a solid climber in the group is a must. Just because it says "scramble" doesn't mean easy. The large pack I had was a hinderance. We never used the climbing shoes or the small amount of pro I brought. Rain makes it a lot scarier. Wet lichen is like an oil slick. Be safe.

Kimberly (wife), Kessler (11 year old son), Shaylee (9 year old daughter), and I met Matt Lemke in Moab in order to climb Elephant Butte. I suspected that the route would be too icy to attempt, but we went to check it out anyway.
As expected, there was much ice and snow in the shade and the climbing was treacherous in places. The crux of the climb was completely iced up. We provided Matt a spot while he climbed the crux and he dropped a handline for us to grab on the way up. The last few feet were icy! There was a bag of gear at the top of the crux. I'm guessing that whoever left it threw it up the crux and was unable to climb it. The bag had a nice camera, some shoes, and lots of climbing gear in it. I redistributed it among Kessler's and my pack and from then on I had a heavy pack!
The ascent rappel went smoothly. Because the standard route was iced, we took a different and more difficult route up the left side of the butte since it was dry. We then traversed over to the final crack and climbed to the summit.
It was definitely an earned summit. The kids enjoyed it, but Kim didn't like it that much in the ice.
The descent went smoothly and we found the pool above the exit rappel to be frozen solid. This was a good thing since none of us felt like wading in ice water.
The final rappel had a huge icicle on it that made it much more challenging. We hoped that we wouldn't knock the icicle down on us! Luckily none of us did.
After climbing Elephant Butte, we decided to check out Bullwinkle. I thought that it would be a fairly easy climb, but my leg was too fat to fit in the off width. It was quite frustrating. Matt led the climb and Kessler cleaned.
It was a good day.
November 9 2013
A group of seven of us, including Kessler (my 11 year old son) and I climbed Elephant Butte. As always, it didn't disappoint and provided one of the best views in the world.
Because the route was dry except for one pool to stem, it was an easier climb than last time.
All seven of us did the climb without any problems and we enjoyed the views for a long time before heading back down.
After descending Elephant Butte, we did an impromptu climb of Owl Rock. SP member Liba and her partner were climbing the rock and we asked if we could borrow their rope to climb to the top in order to set up a top rope with my rope (we did not bring a climbing rack).
Five of us climbed or attempted Owl Rock with varying degrees of success. Kessler made it to the crux.
It was a fun afternoon of playing around on the rocks before heading back to Moab.
December 25 2005
We got a late start so we could attend church in the morning.
After meeting SP member Day Hiker in Moab, my wife, kids, and I, drove to the trailhead. The kids, wife, and I did a few quick scrambles, before they headed off to the Windows to do some hikes there.
Dayhiker and I then climbed to the summit of Elephant Butte arriving at the car just in time to see the sunset on Balanced Rock. Great climb, and one of the best views in the world.

MASSENA - The Greater Massena Chamber of Commerce will be packing up some of its souvenir sale items and heading to Waddington this summer as part of the Bassmaster Elite Series St. Lawrence River Showdown, scheduled for August.
Chamber Executive Director Michael J. Gleason said theyll be setting up at the Tastes and Talents of the North Country festival that will be held in conjunction with the tournament. Theyll have a vendor tents set up from 1 to 8 p.m. Aug. 9, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Aug. 10 and 1 to 5 p.m. Aug. 11.
Well be selling some of our product, Mr. Gleason said.
Among the items theyre currently planning to take to Whittaker Park are St. Lawrence Seaway sweatshirts and T-shirts and postcards, as well brochures, Massena maps and copies of the Meet the Town book detailing the Massena and Seaway Valley area.
As of last week, he said 26 vendors have signed up to be part of the festival.
They normally operates a gift shop during the summers at the Eisenhower Locks. But those doors will not be opening this year because of staffing cuts.
Mr. Gleason said this summers festival will give them an opportunity to sell their goods to a large number of people who are expected for the four-day tournament.
He said 102 anglers start the tournament on Thursday, and that number is knocked down to 50 anglers for Friday, 25 anglers for Saturday and 12 anglers for Sunday. Theyre competing for a $600,000 prize.
These are the pros, he said.
Organizers expect the Aug. 8-11 Bassmaster Elite Series St. Lawrence River Showdown to bring 100 of the worlds top bass anglers to St. Lawrence County, along with thousands of fishing fans and national media. A recent tournament in Texas drew 35,000 people for the four-day event.
The St. Lawrence River match-up is one of eight contests in this years Bassmaster Elite Series, and the only one slated for the Northeastern United States.
Chamber President Susan E. Stiles said that, with such a large crowd and with the hours to plan to operate their vendor tent, volunteers will be key to making it successful for the chamber.
Were going to commit to having a vendor booth, and we need a commit from volunteers, she said. We really need a commitment from everyone to help man the booth.
The chamber also sells souvenir items on their website, www.massenachamber.com, which will be getting an update soon.
They are looking at adding a new Content Management System, a computer program that allows publishing, editing and modifying content as well as maintenance from a central interface. That, Mr. Gleason said, will make it easier to maintain from their end.
They contract with Bryan Garrant for the website development, but the new CMS will allow the chamber to do more by themselves.
Well have more control over the front pages, Mr. Gleason said. The content will be the same. It will just look different. Itll be much easier for us to do things we want to do.
The change will also allow the chamber to generate more revenue by selling more banner ads for their main page, he said.

Cake scrap uses
Posted 04 March 2006 - 09:00 PM
Just wondering if you have any good ideas on how to use up misc. cake crumbs and also crumbs made from baked crushed biscotti cookies?
I already make rum balls with the cake crumbs and use biscotti crumbs for cheesecake bottoms instead of graham crumbs.
Do you think cake crumbs could be recycled back into a cake instead of some of the flour for example?
Thank you!

As I'm not a fan of rum, I've never had the occasion to make one. But, if you like rum balls, this may be an alternative.

I have served Bakewells as part of a dessert table at several dinner parties and they are always a big hit.
It is a pastry layer spread with jam with a frangipane-type top layer. Really quite delicious. Be sure to use butter for the best flavor.

There is a book published on this topic, I saw it at that bakery. But I don't know who published it or when. You could probably find it with a search.
I use cake crumbs in my studel or in sweet items that call for bread crumbs. (oops I see that was already mentioned)
But if your a busy bakery theres just no way to really keep using up all your scrapes......... Maybe it's better to focus on making less waste. Baking more level cakes.

I'm looking for saleable ways of using cake scraps for my bakery.
Now, I've heard of cake balls, but have never made one and would love to have some recipes for them.
I currently dry some scraps for crumbs for trim and garnish, but other than that, I'm throwing money in the trash.
Thoughts, ideas, recipes -- for cake balls or any other things you do.
Thanks eG'ers!
Posted 05 November 2006 - 05:29 PM
The caterer I share with will sometimes use my scraps to make trifles; you could do the same with yours and sell individual cups of trifle (use a plastic cup with a lid for portability in individual servings). Or some sort of a riff on tiramisu using the cake layers instead of biscuit.
If you make tarts, maybe you can get a thin sheet of cake to use as a layer between pastry cream and a fruit topping (RLB uses this technique in her Pie and Pastry book).
I don't have the book at home, but Bo Friberg's book has a recipe for Rum Balls, which is a use for scraps.
And when I really have a busy week, sometimes we make hotel pans of trifle and bring them to the local homeless shelter or day care center.

Thanks GlorifiedRice, that also sounds good, but read on in the next paragraph...
For others with ideas, I should add that this is a bakery setting, where I need to be able to put the items in either a cold or dry case. So things like the deep fried fruit with ice cream won't work for my particular situation.

SweetSide, a lot of the Hungarian/Austrian cake recipes in the book Kaffeehaus use cake crumbs in the actual batter, or to line the cake pans instead of flour. I've never tried it, because I never have cake crumbs, but it might be convenient for you.
Similarly, Maida Heatter suggests using crumbs to prepare a cake pan after greasing instead of flour. Also, I've seen recipes for cake crumb cookies.
Here are some recipes. cake crumb recipes

Kitty litter cake (couldn't resist)

When I was a kid, New York bakeries (especially Jewish ones, I think) commonly sold something called nut cake. It used lots of cake crumbs to form the layers, along with some sort of batter to hold them together as well as ground nuts - maybe nut paste as well. Between the layers was jam. I don't have a recipe, but I'm sure Googling would get you one in short order. A delicious thing. I ran across some about ten years ago and still loved it, so my impression of its deliciousness is not just nostalgia.
I'll have to look this one up for sure -- I remember coming across something like this a while ago, but I was not in the "cake crumb business" then. Thanks!

At work, we have a "sample table" and just put them on there, it sells alot of cake...when we started doing it....are Cakes sales nearly trippled....thats just my thoughts....I guess its still throughing money in the trash, but differently..And in a way that may make some money back.
This we do, when the cake is of a manageable size to sample, and yes, the money does come back for sure. Thanks!

Punschtorte does indeed use cake scraps. It's a delcious, traditional Viennese torte with flavorings of rum, orange and lemon. It typicallly has a pink covering--marzipan, fondant or icing. Some recipes also incorporate ground walnuts.
If you have Flo Braker's Sweet Miniatures, there's a recipe for a cake that uses cake scraps. I think it's the Punsch torte, but I don't have the book and can't be sure.
There is also a recipe for this in Rick Rodger's Kaffehaus. Here is a link to a photo: click

Possibly by grinding leftovers down into something really fine and gradually blending with milk.
Failing that, how about cake ice-cream? I mean, brown bread ice cream is quite popular.

Interesting to think about riffs on traditional rum balls-- ground almonds and limoncello, ground almonds and triple sec, bourbon and pecans, hazelnuts and chocolate. coated or non-coated. If coating one could use different ideas here as well--caramel frosting for pecan balls, lemon icing, white chocolate. One could tuck a piece of fruit like a cherry or a piece of pineapple inside or a piece of marzipan or ganache. Spice flavors... A nice holiday 'cake truffle' could be to add chopped dried fruit to the cake crumbs and make a type of fruitcake ball; fill with a button of marzipan, soak or not soak in rum or bourbon.
At Mom's bakery, they would put all cake trimmings into a bucket, pour rum or other such liquid flavoring on top of it all to make it damp enough to hold together into a ball when rolled. Then the balls get dipped in chocolate and sometimes rolled in nuts.

CANTON Two prosecutors, including the chief assistant who just finished prosecuting a murder trial, are leaving the St. Lawrence County District Attorneys office.
Chief Assistant Amanda N. Nissen said she is taking a position with the state police counsels office in Albany. Assistant District Attorney Jonathan L. Becker said he will move to Otsego County to take up private practice.
John and Amanda are good folks. Im sorry to see them go. I wish them well in their future endeavors, District Attorney Nicole M. Duve said Wednesday.
Ms. Nissen, who has been with the office for three and a half years, said her last day will be either Friday or Monday. Mr. Becker, who joined the staff in 2009, said he expects to depart by months end.
Ms. Nissen served as prosecutor in the recent second-degree murder trial of three Ogdensburg men. That case ended Tuesday with the conviction of one defendant, Anthony W. Lalonde, and the acquittal of Michael S. Thorpe and Michael D. Durand, in connection with the 2010 death of a Ralph E. Gene Lawton, 83, Ogdensburg.
Ms. Duve said she had known of Ms. Nissens impending departure for some time, but thought it best not to make the news public until the trial was finished.
The DA praised Ms. Nissen as someone who will be difficult to replace. Mr. Becker has done a fantastic job handling appeals cases for the office, Ms. Duve said, and will be missed for his research skills and willingness to assist other ADAs.
Ms. Nissen said the switch is not just a career move, but will bring her closer to her family and her roots in the Saratoga County area. Mr. Becker said he has enjoyed the work he has done in St. Lawrence County, but the move will bring him closer to his girlfriend, who moved to Otsego County about six months ago.
Working for Nicole has been absolutely fantastic, Ms. Nissen said.
She and Mr. Becker also said the volume of work has been substantial.
Its a difficult county to be a prosecutor in, because the caseloads are enormous, Ms. Nissen said. Mr. Becker agreed, calling the workload overwhelming.
Ive had to make a number of sacrifices just to keep up with my work, Mr. Becker said.
Ms. Duve, who presides over seven other attorneys, said her office opens about 4,300 new cases each year.
Our workload is double, at least, what it is in most prosecutors offices, she said.
Ms. Duve said she already has reached out to potential candidates for the openings, and plans to meet with county Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire today to discuss the hiring process.
Legislative Chairman Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington, did not foresee problems filling the vacancies.
Traditionally, yes, when theres a vacancy in the DAs office, we fill those positions, Mr. Putney said.We dont want to interfere with the running of the criminal justice system.

6 Scooters That Zoom—And Get Great Mpg, Too
Your tires are often the first indication that something is wrong with your car. The trick is reading the signals.
Let's start with the basics: Obviously you can't read the signals if you rarely inspect your tires. So first, check the tire pressure at least once a month. Tires lose 1 psi each month under normal operating conditions; buy an air compressor and get used to the idea of airing them up. A compressor will pay for itself; fuel economy drops when tire pressure drops, and many gas stations now charge for air. Don't just look at the tire, feel it. Run your fingers along the tread, as many irregularities are more easily felt than seen.
Do your due diligence and you may detect a problem before the tire is ruined. And remember, your tires are your only connection to the road, and they're one of the most overlooked safety items.
What are your worn tires trying to tell you? Let's look at some weirdly worn rubber to find out.
It Looks Like: Your tire is worn down only in the middle.
The Diagnosis: This tire was overinflated, causing the center ring only to contact the road. Consequently, whoever drove this car had only a fraction of the rubber contacting the asphalt, so his or her traction suffered.
To find the correct tire pressure, check the door placard or the owner's manual. Check the pressure when the tires are cold, before you start driving. Some people claim that you should overinflate tires to reduce rolling resistance and increase fuel economy. But that's a fool's game. You might save some fuel, but you'll pay more in prematurely worn tires.
If your pressure is correct but you still see center wear, this could indicate that the wheel and tires are not properly matched. There is one caveat here: Woody Rogers, product information specialist at Tire Rack, says that some rear-wheel-drive vehicles can produce center wear on certain tires, even if they're properly aired up and maintained. But that's true only for high-powered sports cars.

Borealis bids to acquire Total's fertilizer business
February 6, 2013 | Ian Young
Total says it has received a firm offer from Borealis to acquire Total's GPN (Paris) fertilizer business and Total's majority stake in the Rosier (Moustier, Belgium) fertilizer business. Total says it has granted Borealis the exclusive right to pursue the offer. The proposed deal would be the second fertilizer acquisition by Borealis from Total in little more than one year. Borealis acquired the PEC-Rhin (Ottmarsheim, France) nitrogen fertilizer business from GPN in February 2012. Borealis has offered €200/share ($270) for Total's 56.86% stake in...

CANTON - Roberto Clemente III, the grandson of Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente, is set to attend SUNY Canton this fall as a freshman and will play on the Roos baseball team in the upcoming spring semester.
He is excited at the opportunity to help the growth of the baseball program and get started with his coursework in the coming weeks.
I decided to come here because of the courses SUNY Canton offers, and I wanted to come to an environment where I can be successful, Clemente said.
Clemente grew up in Puerto Rico where he started playing the game of baseball at just three years of age and has played for the last 17 years. He started off in the Pamper League where the youngsters would play in diapers and get the practice of hitting the ball off of tees and running the bases similar to the American game of tee-ball.
We would run and make it to the bag before getting tagged, basically learn the fundamentals, Clemente stated.
I like the adrenaline of the game, the people, everything about the game and the opportunity to move to the next level, he said.
Although his grandfather passed away tragically in 1972, Clemente grew up and learned a lot through the instruction of his grandfathers legacy.
He was always helping others out without expecting anything in return. He taught me to always be truthful and straight in what I do and always be a man of character.
Clemente said his greatest baseball memory to date was when he came to the local Canton area to play in a baseball tournament in 2008 and had great reception from the local media. The treatment I got from the local kids and community are something I never forget, he said.
Coming to SUNY Canton to play baseball, Clemente hopes to improve his skills and physical abilities. He totally buys into the team concept of wanting to win and wants to make a difference for the team while continuing his grandfathers legacy.
I am my own individual. I hope people dont expect me to play like him. However, I do want to continue to carry his traits of being a man of character, he said.
Clemente is part of an impressive recruiting class that fifth-year Head Coach Joe Carbone has put together for the upcoming season. Roos baseball recruits this year have come from Canada, Puerto Rico, Florida, New Hampshire and New York.

I've watched her in her kitchen, in the hopes of nabbing a recipe by observation, but it's impossible. Like so many really good cooks, Marie-Hélène starts off with a set of ingredients that could be annotated and recipe-ized, but, once she starts mixing, stirring, boiling, baking, or sautéing, she makes so many mid-cooking adjustments that you just have to throw up your hands and content yourself with being the lucky recipient.
And so it was with this apple cake, which is more apple than cake, rather plain but very appealing in its simplicity (the chunks of apple make a bumpy, golden top) and so satisfying that we all went back for seconds. Despite knowing that it was futile, I asked for the recipe, and, of course, Marie-Hélène didn't really know.
"It's got two eggs, sugar, flour, and melted butteroh, and rum," she said. "I mix the eggs and sugar together and then I add some flour, some butter, some flour, and some butter." When I asked how much flour and butter, I got a genuinely apologetic shrug, and when I asked what kind of apples she used, the answer was, divers, or different kinds.
Since there were only a few major ingredients, I thought I could figure out the recipeand I did! (Although not on the firstor secondshot.) I've added baking powder to the mix (and I have a feeling Marie-Hélène might have too) and a drizzle of vanilla, which you can skip if you want. What you don't want to skip is the pleasure of having diverse apples. It's really nice to mix up the fruit, so that you have some apples that are crisp, some soft, some sweet, and some tart.
YIELD: Makes 8 servings
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 4 large apples (if you can, choose 4 different kinds)
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons dark rum
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter an 8-inch springform pan and put it on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and put the springform on it.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in small bowl.
Peel the apples, cut them in half and remove the cores. Cut the apples into 1- to 2-inch chunks.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk until they're foamy. Pour in the sugar and whisk for a minute or so to blend. Whisk in the rum and vanilla. Whisk in half the flour and when it is incorporated, add half the melted butter, followed by the rest of the flour and the remaining butter, mixing gently after each addition so that you have a smooth, rather thick batter. Switch to a rubber spatula and fold in the apples, turning the fruit so that it's coated with batter. Scrape the mix into the pan and poke it around a little with the spatula so that it's evenish.
Slide the pan into the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the top of the cake is golden brown and a knife inserted deep into the center comes out clean; the cake may pull away from the sides of the pan. Transfer to a cooling rack and let rest for 5 minutes.
Carefully run a blunt knife around the edges of the cake and remove the sides of the springform pan. (Open the springform slowly, and before it's fully opened, make sure there aren't any apples stuck to it.) Allow the cake to cool until it is just slightly warm or at room temperature. If you want to remove the cake from the bottom of the springform pan, wait until the cake is almost cooled, then run a long spatula between the cake and the pan, cover the top of the cake with a piece of parchment or wax paper, and invert it onto a rack. Carefully remove the bottom of the pan and turn the cake over onto a serving dish.
The cake can be served warm or at room temperature, with or without a little softly whipped, barely sweetened heavy cream or a spoonful of ice cream. Marie-Hélène's served her cake with cinnamon ice cream and it was a terrific combination.
The cake will keep for about 2 days at room temperature and, according to my husband, gets more comforting with each passing day. However long you keep the cake, it's best not to cover it - it's too moist. Leave the cake on its plate and just press a piece of plastic wrap or wax paper against the cut surfaces.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (WUSA) -- Tuesday,the Montgomery County Council unanimously approved a bill to ban smoking on most county owned or leased property.
The bill included amendments to expand the ban to bus stops and bus shelters. The county's director of Health and Human Services will be able to designate outdoor smoking areas on some county properties, addressing concerns about the bill's impact on county-owned and leased facilities with programs used to treat people with addictions. Some people believed banning smoking at these facilities could negatively impact the treatment of people battling addiction.
Officials say the committee "also recommended that the ban should not prohibit smoking on County-owned golf courses." Currently, this only impacts the Falls Road course in Potomac.
Any violations are a class C civil violation.

CANTON The job of St. Lawrence County recycling coordinator Scott A. Thornhill, once targeted for elimination by some legislators, appears safe for now.
Legislators discussed eliminating Mr. Thornhills $48,000-per-year job in November as a way to cut costs in the Solid Waste Department.
Republicans criticized the move as a personal attack on Mr. Thornhill, and the issue was tabled until Jan. 3. The board did not meet on that date, and no one in subsequent meetings has broached the topic.
Its dead now because the date went by and it wasnt brought up, said Legislator Alex A. MacKinnon, R-Fowler.
Mr. Thornhills job could come up again as a new resolution, but it does not seem likely to happen anytime soon as the position is included in the countys 2014 budget. Interim county Highway Superintendent William E. Dashnaw said it is needed.
Theres a lot of work over here, he said. It takes a manager to move forward with any kind of efficiencies.
Mr. Dashnaw, who previously was the highway superintendent, is filling in while the county searches for a replacement for Toby W. Bogart, who resigned. Interviews are scheduled to begin next week, Mr. Dashnaw said.
Solid Waste, which is a part of the Highway Department, is following up on a deal with private haulers to increase use of the countys transfer stations and is in the middle of ordering about $1 million in equipment to upgrade the stations, Mr. Dashnaw said.
Legislator Stephen M. Putman, D-Canton, who first suggested elimination of the recycling coordinator position, said he is taking a wait-and-see approach.
I dont plan to bring it up right now, he said. That doesnt mean over the next year its a dead issue for me.
Mr. Putman said he was trying to save money in Solid Waste, which has struggled in recent years with declining revenue and increasing tip fees.
Ive never felt, given the financial state of Solid Waste and its number of employees, that it justified a full-time manager, he said. That has nothing to do with the person who has the job.

Instant aggression session.
In one of the Ghostbusters movies, the sewers of New York filled with this ooze that made everyone really mad. When building the Hate, we didn't want that to happen, so instead of ooze, we filled it with playful V-Rocker™, a soft flex, and ollie boosting Jumper Cables. You'll still hate all the Waldos, kooks, clowns, and beaters on the hill, but at least you'll be loving the park while destroying it on the Hate.

Comments about Therm-A-Rest ProLite Plus Sleeping Pad (Women's):
I'm a rather cold sleeping female backpacker and a bit on the wimpy side. But when it come to sleeping on rocks and gravel this pad is a thing of sheer beauty. I'm 5'7'' 128 lbs and yes, it's a bit short but I do sleep on my side so there's no problem there. This pad offers a ton comfort and light weight. The added insulation at the "high points" of a women's body is perfect...that being said my last tent companion (guy) wanted a test drive on it for a night. Nope, it's all mine. Get the pad!! It's worth it.

The overall level of student proficiency in Carbon School District went up last year compared to 2005 scores.
According to data released by superintendent David Armstrong during a Carbon County Board of Education meeting on Aug. 9, 79 percent of the students in the district were proficient at language arts, 73 percent were proficient at math and 64 percent were proficient at science when evaluated during the last school year by core exams.
The latest levels compare to 2005 when language scored at 77 percent, math at 71 percent and science at 61 percent.
"This shows improvement across the board," noted Armstrong. "But there are some things we certainly need to continue to work on."
The statistics showed that the best scores came in for sixth grade language arts, with an 87 percent proficiency level. The lowest level for language arts was in the 10th grade, with 71 percent proficiency.
In math, the highest levels were scored by the district's fourth grade students, who registered in the 85 percentile on the tests.
Geometry came in as a subject with the lowest math proficiency with 53 percent.
However, the overall proficiency score was even lower because of applied math one, which is taught to special education students. The special education proficiency level was basically zero in that subject.
In science, the top scoring group was the fourth grade students, who registered a 78 percent proficiency level in the subject.
Physics as a subject had the least percentage with 30.
Board members raised several questions at the meeting, despite the overall improvement.
"I am concerned about science being consistently low," said board member Grady McEvoy. "What is going on there?"
The superintendent pointed out that the lowest scores in science proficiency came after the elementary grade.
"We should have science as a full year class in seventh grade" to prepare students for what they will be learning during the next five years in junior high and high school, said Armstrong.
"That would help them to have a better basic understand ing as they moved on," added the superintendent.
The scores for science were low last year for all students attending classes higher than the seventh grade.
Seventh graders registered a 49 percent proficiency level, while eighth graders scored 65 percent. Ninth grade earth science students placed at the 62 percent proficiency level.
Board member Debbie Blackburn pointed out that physics, as a program, was very low and she wondered why.
"That boiled down to the fact that the person teaching physics last year had a lot of tragedy in the family between an illness and a death," explained Armstrong.
During the discussion, Armstrong pointed out that the district recently received a math grant that will affect grades four through six. The grant program will help strengthen math skills in the students in the grade levels in question.
The grants were available to all 40 Utah school districts and the total money earmarked for the program statewide was $7 million during a three-year period.
Carbon School District was able to secure $880,000 of the statewide grant funding for the next three years.
"As you can, see we got a good share of the money for a district our size," pointed out the superintendent. "The money will be used for staff development, incentives to increase proficiency and to maintain the levels of teaching."
The program is similar to the reading grants the district will be working with during the next three years in all elementary schools.
One board of education member asked what "incentives" meant.
Armstrong explained that the incentives mean that, if teachers classes met the objectives, there would be money to pay them more through the program for doing a good job.
The reading and math grants have provided money to hire extra personnel to help with the subjects.
Included in the program are reading and math coaches as well as a place for someone to be an "interventionist" if students are having problems, according to the superintendent.
The person would intervene and provide extra instruction for students who are having a difficult time.
The district's elementary principals are preparing to make reading and math keys to the education programs at the schools during the current year.

CANTON – The primary races hae been decided, the caucuses have been held and the children are back in school.
And now it is time for the race for the districts attorney race to get interesting,
Republican candidate Mary Rain announced late Tuesday night she will unveil her three-point plan for improving the St. Lawrence County District Attorneys Office during a noon Wednesday news conference at the County Courthouse, 48 Court St. Ms. Rain said she has support from several homicide victims families who are still seeking justice and want change in the District Attorneys Office.
The Ogdensburg Republican is challenging two-term incumbent District Attorney Nicole M. Duve, Potsdam.
Our current district attorney has created a culture of disorganization and disengagement within her office, said Rain. Tardy prosecutions and lax plea deals have put criminals back on our streets while victims are denied justice. My opponent blames everyone but herself for these failures. Im running to bring back
accountability to an office that has run far too long without it.
Rain said she drew on her three decades of experience as a police officer, prosecutor and defense attorney to create an agenda that can be implemented on day one. It will include a renewed focus on timely prosecutions, technology upgrades and improved communication with law enforcement partners.
Victims of crime in St. Lawrence County have suffered for far too long because of my opponents mismanagement, said Rain. I am working hard to get elected so that I can help bring the D.A.s office into the 21 century - and give deserved justice to the victims and their families.

Comments about Patagonia Houdini Jacket (Men's):
I debated as to whether or not to buy a this jacket for my first 100 miler that took place in May. SO GLAD I DID. Not only did it rain, but it hailed and also temps dropped into the high 30's, low 40's overnight. It kept me dry during the rain without making me hot. After the rain I was able to pack it in the bottle holder of my Hydration Pack. As night came upon it was the perfect warmth, in conjunction with arm sleeves even in the low 40's. Within the last 17 miles is kept me warm and the freezing rain off of me. I would have been miserable otherwise.

Comments about Patagonia Houdini Jacket (Men's):
I've used it hiking and cycling. It works pretty well for hiking, as it offers enough protections during moderately strenuous activities without getting overheated. Keeps you warm enough during windy conditions, and though I haven't tested it yet, I'm sure it's slightly water/rain resistant. Scrunches down into a tiny pocket for easy storage.
However it's rather bulky for its size. Considering this is supposed to be super light, they could have made it a bit more form fitting. It's not the overall size (I would not fit a size down), it's just the arms and body are a bit bulky. I would prefer a closer fit, especially for hiking through brush. If this got a snag, it would rip open I fear.
Also, I used it as a shell for bike riding (on a long descent off a mountain), and I realize the sleeve cuffs are not tight enough to the wrist. I have another brand of wind shirt and the cuffs are elastic all the way around, and seal off the wind from going up through the wrist openings. This one does not have elastic all the way around and is not tight to the wrist. I got cold air inside the arms and could not keep it out, thereby defeating the purpose of this wind jacket. I guess I'll go back to my bulkier wind jacket for cycling and keep this for hiking and running. For the price, I'm a little disappointed.

Comments about Patagonia Houdini Jacket (Men's):
I received my first Houdini as a finisher's jacket in an ultra. I was impressed with the light weight of this jacket and how warm it was on cold runs. The hood, however, catches wind when running and flaps around acting as an anchor behind your head. I ended up cutting it off to solve this problem. Bought a second one and ended up gluing velcro into the collar so that the hood could be rolled up. Problem solved again. Other then that, it a great, well-made jacket.

MASSENA Massena Central High School junior Johnny Gustafson, 16, will be out of school for the entire month of January as he travels throughout Europe competing with the best young lugers that the world has to offer.
Johnny, son of town attorney Eric J. Gustafson and Javas Veterinary Clinic receptionist Joanne C. Gustafson, will be taking part in the Junior World Cup & World Championships beginning Friday in Sigulda, Latvia.
From there, he will be luging in Konigssee and Oberhof, Germany, and Igls, Austria.
There are multiple World Cup events to compete in. I am doing four of those races but I am not competing in the overall World Cup because I didnt compete in the first half, Johnny Gustafson said. We are at each of those places for a week. We train for five days, compete on Saturday and then rest and travel on Sunday. Then we pick up training in the next place.
Johnny played hockey in the past and has been luging for five years. He has competed in nationals for each of the past four years, and in March, he will take part in his fifth.
Nationals were in Lake Placid for two years in a row, but my third year was in Park City, Utah. Last year was in Lake Placid and this March will be as well, he said. So far I have medaled every year I did nationals. The first year I got first, the second year I got second, third year I got third and last year I also got third. That was all for the youth nationals.
The 16-year-old said the Junior World Cup will be his first experience competing across the world.
I have done training across the world before, but not competition, he said. Its definitely going to be really special and very nerve-racking. Itll be a good experience and I am really excited for it.
While luging can have one or two riders in the luge sled (2014 will see a new three-relay format), Johnny has always been a single rider. Additionally, he will be the only male youth sliding for the team.
Traveling for the team will be Johnny, one doubles team, one junior member, two youth girls and two junior girls.
The Massena resident said the vehicles can get up to 90 miles per hour.
Despite the high speeds and extreme danger in the sport, Johnny said, it isnt as hazardous as some may think.
Every now and then (I) get up to 75. The fastest Ive gone is 80 miles per hour, he said. I have crashed a few times, but havent had any bad crashes. I have flipped off a curb andonto the ice before. I havent done it this year, though. I have hit walls this year once in a while.
I hold my breath when he leaves the start gate until I see him finish, Eric Gustafson said. If you watch how fast those sleds are going when they go by, its astounding how fast theyre going. Both his mother and I worry when he goes, but by the same token, if you compare it to football or hockey, nobodys hitting him, and for the most part, the crashes that hes had have been fairly contained. Its been scrapes and a couple of bumps and bruises, but thats about it.
Johnny has had experience at both the Konigssee and Igls tracks. He took part in Junior International Training Week from Nov. 11 to 16 at the Igls track, while preparing at the Konigssee location from Nov. 18 to 23.
The luge tracks are shorter than a mile, with the athletes typically finishing their race in 40 to 60 seconds.
Johnnys parents will be going to Germany to watch their son compete in the Konigssee race Jan. 18, but other than that, communication between them will be limited to phone calls and Skype.
Though the other races will be available for viewing online, with the time difference, they will not be broadcast at the most convenient time.
The nice thing is now with Skype, its really easy to maintain contact. We will send emails and hell check his email where hes got Wi-Fi and well arrange times to Skype. So its really pretty smooth keeping in contact with him; a lot easier than it used to be, Eric Gustafson said. Depending on the days that the actual races are going to occur, well try and catch them even if we have to stay up late past our bedtime.
The races are fairly early in the morning, around 8 a.m., which is 1 or 2 a.m. time here, Johnny Gustafson said.
According to usaluge.org, the high school juniors best ever results include a bronze medal at the Norton Youth A National Championship in 2012 and 2013. He also got bronze in the 2012 Empire State Games.
Johnny noted that while he already has accomplished much in his luge competitions, he still will be going on his first run ever at a couple of the race sites.
Id really like to do well since its my first time competing internationally, he said. I dont have any high expectations. I would just like to have clean runs. I would especially like to do well at Oberhoff and Sigulda, since that will be my first times there.
Whether it be the training week at the start of the month in Latvia or the 29th Junior World Championships in Austria, the teenager who is barely old enough to drive a car in New York said he has a very specific mind-set when preparing for a race.
At the beginning, I usually do a mind run. I think about what needs to be done and keep telling myself that. I just go out on the ice and do what I need to do, he said. You can tell when you get to the bottom how you did. Depending on the time, if its good, its a great feeling.

Friends, today I have something very special to share with you. It's cake. Well, not the kind you can eat, but a kind that {believe it or not} is even better.
My friend and fellow blogger Morena from Morena's Corner and I have teamed up to bring you a new series that I not only think you'll enjoy, but that will help all of us to use our creativity to brighten up our own neighborhoods and communities.
To make your own heart clings:
Step one: Pour 1/3 cup Mod Podge into a bowl.
Step two: Add paint (about a teaspoon) and glitter to Mod Podge and mix well.
Step three: Use a brush to apply the mixture to the freezer paper. Paint it into a heart shape.
Step four: After it has dried, carefully peel the heart off the paper. It will cling to any glass surface.
Now you can go heart bombing! Leave your heart on cars, mirrors, windows, and any other place with a glass surface.
I can't wait to hear your heartbombing stories!

You've got a swimming pool and you picture pristine water and exuberant swimmers; but, to make this picture a reality, you need to work to properly maintain your water. Pool chemicals are a necessity for public and private swimming pools. Whether you own an above ground or in-ground swimming pool, there are a few things you need to do to make sure your pool water is safe and sanitary. Pool chlorine and bromine, pool algaecide, pool shock, and other pool water balancing chemicals all contribute to healthy, clear, enjoyable pool water.
Pool chemicals are essentially disinfectants or sanitizers which prevent the growth of algae and bacteria and also kill various other disease-causing microorganisms. Unfortunately, pool chemicals can often be harmful to our pets and even people so there are some careful considerations that pool owners need to make. First of all, swimming pool chemicals should be stored safely and you should always read pool chemical instructions carefully. Always keep pool chemicals out of the reach of children and pets and ensure that containers are properly closed when not in use. Also, moisture, from beverages like water or even coffee, can cause your pool chemicals to react, so they must be stored in a dry place.
For your safety, and the safety of your family, never use pool chemicals that are not labeled and never mix different swimming pool chemicals together. Swimming pool water chemicals can be corrosive to your skin, so avoid contact with chemicals that are not diluted. As mentioned, store your pool chemicals in a cool, dry place that is also well ventilated. Oxidizers like chlorine and acids should not be stored together. Maintaining your pool water is obviously important, so you need to invest in a variety of pool chemicals. However, it is equally important to make sure that pool chemicals are safely and properly stored.
Still, swimming pool chemicals are commonplace. Pools, hot tubs, spas, wading pools, and whirlpools often rely on pool chemicals like chlorine or shock to clarify water. This is just a fact of life. When used in the correct concentrations, pool chemical kits serve a vital function: They make sure that your pool water is ideal for swimming. Without swimming pool chemicals, water would quickly turn green and pool surfaces would become slimy.

Incredible beauty.....
Baroness Gisela Josephine von Krieger's long abandoned MB languished in a dusty Connecticut warehouse for 30 years!
"This was no ordinary Mercedes. It turned out to be an exceedingly rare 1936 540K Special Roadster. Fewer than 10 such cars are said to survive in comparable condition, and Gooding, who is now the president of his own auction house, Gooding and Company, believes the completely restored roadster might set the record for the most expensive car ever sold at auction when his firm offloads it in August during the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance."

Fasten your seat belts... It's going to be a bumpy night! -- Margo Channing
Wow, that car is absolutely beautiful.
THAT is luxury and sport entwined without compromise. I daresay it's the highest realization of Mercedes' concept, ever.
Now that defines a CLASSIC car, and separates it from just being an old car.
a new addition to Jay Leno's collection.
Ed Wiser
This is one of the main reasons why my dream job is "being Jay Leno." Not just hosting Tonight, but literally being Jay Leno. I can't wait until the day I'm picking out a car or bike in the morning the way I pick out a tie now. Besides, every well-dressed man knows, a man's tie should always compliment his vehicle.

ALEXANDER, N.Y. - One person has died following a serious crash on Route 20 near Browns Mill Road Saturday afternoon, according to police.
Genesee County Sheriff's have confirmed that the driver of the pickup truck, 48-year-old Frank Demarco, of Batavia, has died in the crash.
Investigators say Demarco was driving his pickup truck east on Route 20 at 1:30 p.m. when he lost control on the snow covered highway and crossed into the path of a tractor trailer.
Police tell 2 on Your Side that the driver of the tractor trailer, 54-year-old Douglas McPherron, of Clayton, NY, was taken to United Memorial Medical Center in Batavia for medical evaluation.
Police say a second person in the pickup truck, 32-year-old Brandon Eck, of Rochester, was taken to Strong Hospital with serious injuries.
Deputies say an initial investigation indicates that slippery road conditions and improper speed due to road conditions may be contributing factors.
Deputies added that Demarco was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Practicing their chants for Saturday's big game... the Bulldogs' cheerleaders probably aren't thinking about being part of history.
At a prep rally from as far back as as our archives go -- the video reminds us that Portland's football and cheering programs are some of the oldest in our state.
"It's really been a long-term relationship that'd we like to maintain," says Activities Director Mike Connolly.
The school needs someone to coach the cheerleading team in order to keep that tradition going... the previous coach retired after seven years then an alumn stepped-in temporarily, and this year a past assitant coach/team mom is lending a hand.
"I wouldn't let them go without a coach," says Debby Nielson.
But the girls say they're worried they won't have a coach for their favorite time of year... competition season.
"People come to our competitions and they see a full blown out routine and they consider it an actual sport," says Senior cheerleader Ashley Perkins. Junior cheerleader Laura Nielson says, "usually for fall we're cheering other people on and for winter it's our time."
Competition cheerleading begins mid-November and their first meet is the Regional Championship in January.
"We're looking for someone who is passionate about the sport and is passionate about working with kids," says Connolly. "And someone who's going to stick around."
The girls chant together, "because we couldn't do it all alone. We!"

Prices vary based on delivery destination (it's a tax thing), so please change it if you're not shipping within United States as it might affect the price! (Why?)
Bladnoch distillery sits resolute in the green pastures of Wigtownshire. The Southernmost distillery in Scotland, the Bladnoch distillery takes its water from its namesake - the River Bladnoch - which rises at Loch Maberry in Kirkcowan. The distillery was established in 1817 by the brothers McClelland: John and Thomas, who licensed it in 1825. Part of a farm, Bladnoch utilized the rich barley from the surrounding fields. The buildings were refurbished during the latter part of the nineteenth century, though in 1905 distillation ceased totally.
Ownership changed hands several times, from the Irish Dunville and Co and then to A B Grant, who began distillation once more. For a time, fortunes were highly favourable and, a decade after reopening, the stills were doubled to number four. During the 1980s, Bladnoch was under Guinness ownership and then United Distillers, closing officially in June of 1993.
Diageo sold the distillery to Raymond Armstrong in 2003. Raymond had originally intended to use it as a holiday home and it was sold strictly for this purpose alone. However, after petitioning from both Raymond Armstrong and the local townsfolk, Diageo allowed production once more, though it may not exceed 100,000 litres per annum.
There have been many independent bottlings over the years, from bottlers such as Gordon and MacPhail and Douglas Laing. Having restarted production at the turn of the millennium the first official post-Armstrong bottlings were released in 2008 in the shape of three six year olds; one bourbon and one sherry matured offering, as well as a lightly peated expression, all of which have all been well-received.

There are two answers in this question which contradict each other:
How the trial of Jesus compares to the judical standards of the epoch and of the modern times?
The first answer says that Jesus was guilty of what he was charged.
The second claims that Jesus was not guilty at all but intentionally choose not to defend.
So was he guilty or not?

SACKETS HARBOR — The end is in sight for an expansion and renovation of the Sackets Harbor Fire Company's station at 112 N. Broad St.
On Saturday morning, newly appointed Chief Randolph V. Lynd was working on the floor of a room that will become an office, while member Peter R. Daly worked on a series of electrical fixtures. Michael D. Hoagland, president of the company's board of directors, cut wood to frame a window.
In addition to about $30,000 in village-funded contract work, many of the renovations have been made possible through the labor and fundraising of company members. Mr. Hoagland estimated about 100 volunteer hours had been contributed by members to get the work done.
"This is the culmination of everybody coming together," Mr. Lynd said.
In addition to the expanded office, the department's space will include more equipment and vehicle storage space, an area for bailout training and a new classroom.
The Saturday morning work session was expected to be one of the last, leaving only the installation of countertops and lighting and the moving of furniture before the project is complete.
The expansion came about as the village Department of Public Works last year moved out of the building into a space on Hill Street, coinciding with the opening of the village's new sewer facility. The exit gave the fire company about 50 percent more space in the building, which it shares with the village government.
The added space makes a big difference for the company's day-to-day operations. The department's office on the other side of the building tightly squeezes a single chair between a desk and series of file cabinets. The department in the past has used vehicle bays for educational sessions.
"It worked, but it certainly wasn't very comfortable," Mr. Hoagland said.
David J. Woodkirk, second assistant chief of the company's Station 2, said the near-complete expansion could encourage members to spend more time at the firehouse, improving response times when emergency calls go out.
"You have an engine crew in the station hanging out; you can't beat that," he said.
Roger E. Brunet, a member of the company for 48 years, said the expansion was something the firefighters had asked about for years.
"It's just been a blessing," he said. "I can't believe the extra room we got."
Mr. Brunet joined the company at age 18 in 1967, back when the firehouse was on West Main Street, where a gazebo stands today. He said the expansion could help in recruiting younger members, many of whom reminded him of himself.
"I was just like they were — gung-ho," he said.
