As the largest organization of combat veterans, we understand the
frustrations that can arise with making a VA claim. That's why our National
Veterans Service (NVS) was created. Our nationwide network of skilled VFW
Veterans Service Officers helps you wade through all the bureaucratic red tape,
offering you a better opportunity to get the disability claim you deserve.
You don't even need to be a VFW member to take advantage of this free
service. As a veteran, this is a service you've earned.
A VFW Service Officer will:
Filing and backing up your Veterans Affairs claim can
be tough. VFW Service Officers are the key to your success. These trained
experts develop your case with ease by reviewing and applying current law,
pertinent legislation, regulations and medical histories. As highly skilled
professionals, they assist veterans and their families in filing for disability
compensation, rehabilitation and education programs, pension and death
benefits, and employment and training programs. And they won't hesitate to
request hearings before the VA and the Board of Veterans Appeals to present
oral arguments when needed.
The first step in filing your claim is to confirm you're eligible
for compensation. Then, after you've signed a VA Form 21-22, a VFW Service
Officer can contact you to begin developing your case. Two key elements to a
well-rounded claim include evidence that an injury, illness or disease occurred
during your service and evidence of a current medical condition as a direct
If you're looking to increase your current disability rating,
we'll obtain a copy of your claims file from the VA and, after careful review
of your medical records, discuss with you how we should proceed.
If the
VA has rejected your claim and you wish to reopen it, we help with that, too.
After reviewing your VA claims file, we can recommend a course of action that
may result in its successful reopening.
Another facet of VFW's National Veterans Service is the hospital
volunteer program, which includes the Veterans Affairs Voluntary Service
(VAVS). VFW was one of five groups comprising the original National Advisory
Committee in 1946 that formed VAVS.More than 6,000 regularly
scheduled VFW volunteers provide more than one million hours of service annually
to our nation's veterans in federal, state and community hospitals and nursing
homes through VAVS.Volunteer opportunities vary by VA location.
Here are just a few experiences offered by some VA facilities:
you're interested in volunteering, please contact your local VA
VFW's Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD) Program -- a cooperative initiative with the Pentagon and VA -- was established to assist service members departing from the military. If you're seeking VA entitlements, let a pre-discharge claims representative help you wade through the paperwork.

The VFW, in conjunction with the Student Veterans of America, is providing a new level of service, offering direct assistance to student-veterans who are experiencing problems accessing their GI Bill benefits. VFW seeks to ensure student-veterans receive their GI Bill benefits in a timely manner and have a place to turn to if they need help.
The VFW, in conjunction with the Wounded Warrior Regiment at Quantico, VA, is providing a new level of service to recently discharged Wounded Warriors: Any former Marine who has a claim pending at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or wants to file a claim with will be referred to a VFW service officer who will be happy to discuss their claim and how to obtain the most correct decisions possible from VA.

One of the compelling things about fashion is the way in which designers, editors, and stylists find inspiration in a myriad of different things. After all, since everybody has unique personalities and experiences, what inspires one person will be vastly different from what excites someone else. Take, for example, the S/S 11 season. Designers called upon a wide range of influences for their spring collections, including French painters (Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel), surf and skate culture (Isabel Marant), and even abstract concepts like optimism and purity (Alexander Wang). While designers are skilled at finding inspiration in the most obscure places, we don't blame you if you need a little extra help getting your creative juices flowing. Luckily for you, dear readers, we've hand-picked six impressive ensembles for this month's WWW: Styling Tips to spark your imagination and provide you with ample wardrobe ideas. From Kate Bosworth's cool mid-season outfit to Dree Hemingway's fresh take on evening wear, we know you'll be just as excited to experiment with these tips as we are!
Tip # 1: Wear a cardi tied around your neck.
Model/DJ/trendsetter Alexandra Richards' stylish outfits repeatedly pique our interest, and her ensemble for the Tribeca Ball at the New York Academy of Art earlier this month did just that. On this occasion, Richards gave her downtown sensibilities a preppy twist by styling her cardi around her neck. The fashion plate created this look by combining a silky vintage blouse with a pair of go-anywhere, tailored Dolce Vita shorts, and a Hung On U Small Bag ($200), which was designed by her supermodel mom Patti Hansen. We love the way Richards balanced the smartly knotted cardi with tough-girl accents, like her black lace-up Marsell boots (the Ankle Boot Sandals ($965) are similar) and black socks. Try this tip after dark for a look that is stylishly nonchalant, yet still sophisticated. To re-create Richards' outfit, start off with a simple white blouse, such as Silence & Noise's Sheer Inset Silky Blouse ($40) or MINKPINK's Sheer Three Quarter Sleeve Blouse ($40). If you don't already own a pair of black shorts, we think Ecote's Smocked Shorts ($39) are a versatile option and definitely worth buying. A pair of black boots will help you further achieve Richards' savvy styling, so we suggest picking up Steve Madden's Factoryy Boots ($100) right away. Most importantly, don't forget to complete your outfit by tying a black cardi--like Caslon's Lightweight Slub Cardigan ($13) or J. Crew's Forever Cardigan in Cotton ($60)--around your neck to attain Richards' laidback luxe ensemble.
Tip # 2: Transition a LWD with an army jacket.
As the flowers begin to blossom and temperatures begin to rise, we expect you're eager to wear your new seasonal staples. That said, the nights are still chilly, which means you also need some all-important transition pieces to warm up your ensembles. For a prime example on how to execute this kind of between-seasons outfit, make note of the look Kate Bosworth put together for the celebration of her March cover for Nylon. The actress/stylesetter expertly transitioned her Dolce & Gabbana White Cotton Top and Skirt with Crystal Embellishments (price upon request for both, 877.70.DGUSA) by styling it with a Gap army jacket (the Lightweight Utility Jacket ($79.95) is quite similar), Topshop boots, and JewelMint jewelry. We love how her sweet and feminine dress is juxtaposed against the tough black boots and sturdy, utilitarian jacket (a piece that is certainly here to stay!). If you need help finding just the right pieces to emulate this look, you're in luck because we've tracked down several swoon-worthy options. If you're craving the perfect LWD, we recommend either Topshop's Cream Crochet Swing Dress ($100) or Vintage Havana's Shell Trim Embroidered Dress ($68). Still looking for that perfect army jacket? Tabitha's Expeditionary Jacket ($128) and Madewell's Ultimate Army Jacket ($98) are both great options you can wear all year long. For the final piece of your look, we recommend picking up Steve Madden's Troopa Boots ($100).
Tip # 3: Try a column dress in a bright color.
A simple, black evening gown is always a foolproof option for evening soirees, but why not go for a more head-turning option? To make a statement this season, consider stepping out in a colorful column dress a la Dree Hemingway. The model wore Calvin Klein Collection's Rust Embossed Silk Twill Racerback Dress ($3495, 212.292.9000) to the New Museum Spring Gala in New York earlier this month and accessorized with Marc Jacobs' Python Suede Luisa Clutch ($1995, 212.343.1490). (It's important to note that Hemingway kept her accessories understated to ensure the dress remains the focal point.) Perfect for a spring wedding or any festive fete this season, a sleek column gown in a bright hue will surely get you noticed! We think Warehouse's One-Shouldered Column Dress ($118), Adam's Wrap-Effect Column Gown ($365), or Coast Antonia's Column Maxi Dress with Beaded Detail ($287) are also worthy options. Just be sure to pick up a gold clutch, like Urban Expression's Valorie Clutch ($30), to further achieve this winning look.
Tip # 4: Style a bold print with black staples.
Fashion editors are always in the know about the latest trends, so it's always a smart idea to look to them for style inspiration. Take, for example, the on-the-mark outfit Meredith Melling Burke put together for a dinner honoring designer Peter Pilotto in New York earlier this month. The Vogue Senior Market Editor let her Auro Printed Matte-Silk Top ($1135) and Skirt ($1470)--both from the designer's S/S 11 collection--take center stage by expertly teaming them with staple black accents, specifically a Calvin Klein Collection Black Cotton Twill Stretch Blazer ($1195, 212.292.9000) and Brian Atwood ankle boots. To emulate her look, keep a printed dress, such as French Connection's Tiger Print Maxi Dress ($54) or Collective Concepts' Maxi Dress ($74), in focus by pairing it with a sleek black blazer, like Topshop's Black Satin Collar Tux ($135) or Gap's Classic Blazer ($98). Whichever option you choose, you're sure to step out in style a la MMB!
Tip #5: A white bag is a must-buy this season.
While we've spent the last few weeks waxing enthusiastic about this season's ultra-bright color palette, we also believe a white handbag would make a fresh addition to your spring wardrobe. We particularly like how versatile this accessory is; it will pop against an of-the-moment colorful mix and look just as striking paired with an all-noir outfit. Speaking of the latter, we couldn't take our eyes off the ensemble Nora Zehetner wore to the New Museum Spring Gala earlier this month. We were instantly drawn to the actress' Calvin Klein Collection White Leather Clutch ($1250, 212.292.9000), which she paired with the Black Leather Shift Dress (price upon request, 212.292.9000) and Rose Wrap Heels ($795, 212.292.9000), both from said brand's Resort 11 collection. The stark contrast between her bright white clutch and black dress makes the accessory a standout piece. Take a cue from Zehetner and pick a bag in a crisp and clean white, like Dooney & Bourke's Portofino Continental Clutch ($135), Elaine Turner's Ava Leather Clutch ($195), or See by Chloe's Zip File Classic Tote ($195). To achieve Zehetner's high-impact contrast, we suggest pairing it with a black shift dress, such as ASOS' Linen Shift Dress ($54) or Gap's Black Side Zip Shift Dress ($60).
Tip #6: Add a polka-dot print to spring basics.
While most of us wore our fair share of polka-dots in elementary school, this classic print can easily look grown-up and sophisticated with the right styling, as demonstrated by Lily Collins. Spotted at Wondercon in San Francisco earlier this month, the actress wore a spotted top by L'Agence with classic wardrobe staples, such as Theory's Lanai Shellback Blazer ($355), J Brand Maria High-Rise Denim Leggings ($169) in Hewson ($169), and a necklace by House of Lavande. We appreciate Collins' well-calculated decision to go for an elegant white blazer, which adds just the right amount of refinement to her ensemble, while still keeping it fresh and modern. If you want to recreate this look, but aren't sure where to begin, let us be your guide. Simply start with a great polka-dot top, such as Anne Klein New York's Polka-Dot Silk Georgette Blouse ($195) or Wyatt's Pink and Black Polka Dot Chiffon Peasant Blouse ($68), both of which are a far cry from our playground days. Next, add a white blazer, like LOFT's Linen Blazer ($98), and finish with a pair of skinny jeans, such as Topshop's Slate Black Jamie Jeans ($80), and voila! You have yourself the perfect Collins-inspired ensemble.--Erin Fitzpatrick

By TOM MCCOURTSun Advocate Columnist
Three years ago this month, Jeannie and I were at a large national convention in a swanky hotel in Salt Lake City. The huge ballroom was completely filled with people as the master of ceremonies proposed a toast to all of the war veterans present. He then asked all who had served in World War II to please stand up. A hush fell over the crowd as we all became aware that no one was standing. There was not one World War II veteran among the many hundreds of people there. I was unprepared for that reality. It came as a shock. We are losing that "greatest generation" of war veterans that led and guided our country for more than 50 years.
When I was a boy, I knew several veterans who had served in World War I: Lorenzo Petersen, Leonard Grundvig, and Leonard Allred, to name a few. Those men served in the muddy trenches of the war to end all wars, and they are all gone now.
I know men who fought in Korea; that miserable frozen peninsula where our soldiers faced frostbite and the numberless ranks of the Chinese Army. A "police action," lesser men behind desks have called it. But those who faced the Mongol hordes know better. Thank you, Korean War veterans. I don't think I could have done it.
I look with amazement on the gray hair and wrinkled brows of my own generation: we who fought the Vietnam War and came home to ridicule and indifference. Through the fog of the intervening years, I still see the handsome faces of boys behind the wrinkled smiles of old friends. How young we were when we were sent to the jungles.
My son Rex served in Somalia with the Tenth Mountain Division in 1993. He was among the first to face hostile fire in the international war on terrorism. We know now that Al-Qaeda thugs were testing us in Mogadishu when they initiated the "Blackhawk Down" incident, way back then. Rex and his generation of soldiers are fast approaching middle age. I can scarcely believe it.
I look to our current generation of soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines with awed reverence and respect. They are all volunteers, these men and women who offer their bodies, their futures, and their lives to protect us. Never has America had better sons and daughters.
But they are becoming a distinct minority, those among us willing to face the cannons for the sake of principles, ideals, and national honor. We owe them more than we can ever pay. They are the rock our future is built on. Welcome home from Iraq, Sean Woolstenhulme. You make us proud.
And I worry about my grandchildren. What terrors will they face in future wars? What sacrifices might they be forced to bear? Will they fight in the streets of our own cities if we lose the will to meet our enemies in places like Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan? The world is changing fast and the old rules and conventions of war are becoming obsolete. Who knows what the future might bring?
And so, with humility and hat in hand, I ask everyone to honor our veterans this coming weekend. Most of us have no idea the pain and sacrifices our service people and their families endure on our behalf. The least we can do is fly a flag, shake a hand, and remember our soldiers in our prayers.
It breaks my heart that Veterans Day is no longer honored in our schools. It is no wonder that noble concepts like patriotism, self-sacrifice, and the belief that there is something greater than self, are becoming quaint, old-fashioned ideas.
Millions of our friends and neighbors have served valiantly in the armed forces. Many thousands were injured or gave their lives for this country. Their gift is ours now, to do with what we will.

CANTON Fencing around a construction site at St. Lawrence University has raised a few eyebrows about the campus Quads future.
An estimated $12 million, 150-bed student housing unit approved in October has broken ground, requiring the installation of a 6-foot, chain-link construction fence around the site.
The university is funding the project with its capital fund and donations to avoid taking on additional debt. To date, $4.3 million has been raised.
Taking up half of the Quad, the gated area will return to its former grassy glory, but not until the projects expected completion in July or August 2014.
The future residence halls footprint is the road and parking lot in front of the E.J. Noble Center on the Quads east side.
University Vice President for Communications Thomas Evelyn said the Quads restricted portion is undergoing the installation of geothermal wells that will be used in the residence hall.
The geothermal wells will actually go underground, Mr. Evelyn said. Once that is complete, you wont even see it. Grass will go back over it and you wont know its there.
The well, Mr. Evelyn said, will heat and cool the new building.
Because the building will be four stories high at its tallest point, the school will minimize the structures footprint.
That is also part of our commitment to sustainability, wanting to protect the Quad as a special space and not encroaching onto the grassy area, Mr. Evelyn said.
In fact, in a December update, university President William L. Fox said the project could add as much as 6 percent more green space, including enhanced landscaping at the site.
While the activity at the Quad has diminished from when the Noble Center was the student center, by no means has the quad become a dead part of campus, Mr. Evelyn said.
Certainly placing a residence hall right there will help to generate a lot more activity on this side of campus, he said.
Additionally, the space between the new residence hall and the Noble Center is a potential location for an arts walk where students sculptures could be displayed.
It will be landscaped so that emergency vehicles could still come through if needed, but otherwise it would be closed off to all other traffic, he said.
Sophomore Courtney McKnight was sitting on the remaining portion of the Quad looking at the construction activity.
She said the university needs to realize it is a small school and cease expanding.
St. Lawrence should accept that theyre a small school in a small town and that they have expanded as far as they can, Miss McKnight said. Are they going to extend the dining facilities? I know this new building is going to have a cafe, but a cafe is not going to house hundreds for dinner and breakfast.
Miss McKnight said if the campus is tight on space, she wondered why the new residence hall needs to be so luxurious, with the addition of a glass-bridge commons connecting the two sections of the building.
I feel like they are just ready to brag about some really nice building, but the other dorms are falling apart, she said,
Aaron Schlossberg, a freshman, and Tom Barry, a senior, play on a frisbee team that practices at the quad four days a week.
Usually we have a game going and it takes up half the quad to play, Mr. Schlossberg said, so it is kind of tough to have a fence in our way. Its good that they are starting it this late so that we dont get kicked off the Quad that much. We got the space and its nice that they left us some of it.
Mr. Barry, the teams captain, showed less kindness in his comments when reacting to the change.
A lot of people are pretty frustrated, he said. We know that the university has to expand. I hope the university gets what they need out of it.
At the same time, Mr. Barry said the quad is a major reason why he loves the campus layout.
It wont really affect us that much, he said. We still have enough field space for a regular field, but obviously it is an aesthetic tragedy.

Refrigerator and Freezer Operation
In most households, the refrigerator is the single biggest energy-consuming kitchen appliance, and a stand-alone freezer uses a comparable amount of energy. To reduce energy used by a refrigerator or freezer:
Position the appliance away from a heat source, such as an oven, dishwasher or direct sunlight.
Allow air to circulate around condenser coils by leaving a space between the wall or cabinets and the appliance. Keep the coils clean. Dust that builds up on the coils acts like insulation, reducing the appliance's ability to transfer heat from inside the appliance to the outside air. Dust on the coils causes the compressor to run longer and use more energy before it satisfies the thermostat in the appliance.
Make sure door seals are airtight.
Set the refrigerator's temperature between 37 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit and the freezer compartment's temperature at 5 degrees Fahrenheit for short-term food storage.
Set the temperature for a stand-alone freezer at zero degrees Fahrenheit for long-term food storage.
Minimize the amount of time and how many times the appliance door is open.
Check a refrigerator's temperature by placing an appliance thermometer in a glass of water, then setting the glass in the center of the food compartment. After 24 hours, the thermometer will offer an accurate temperature. Check the freezer temperature by placing an appliance thermometer between two frozen packages and reading the thermometer after 24 hours.
Frost buildup diminishes an appliance's energy efficiency. If your appliance requires manual defrosting, do so when the frost reaches a thickness of a quarter of an inch.

New Orleans Calamity
It is not often that one sees a city destroyed. While the flooding of New Orleans is supposedly a natural disaster and perhaps a foretaste of the implications of climate change, it is also a disaster made by people, institutions and a nation which failed ...

---Product & Vision: Interfaces and boundaries in art and economy
Exhibition at Kunstfabrik am Flutgraben, Berlin, Germany
9 September - 9 October
What happens if a corporation - in this case, the Berlin-based publishing
house Cornelsen - opens its doors to a group of artists? Can artists or
arts and Cornelsen or the corporate sector in general learn something from
each other, or will their autonomy be questioned? The participants of
Product & Vision have studied, amongst others, the finance structure, the
identification of the employees with the company, the products (schoolbooks), the production process, the image of the company, and the
organisational structure. This exhibition presents the results of this artistic process in installations, videos, pictures and performances, together with other works from the field of art and business.
Product & Vision focuses on businesses/enterprises as a dominating form of social organisation. Interfaces and boundaries between art and economy are one of the central issues.

Berkeley earthquake called off
Anybody expecting earthshaking news from Berkeley, now that the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature group being led by Richard Muller has released its results, had to be content with a barely perceptible quiver. As far as the basic science goes, the results could not have been less surprising if the press release had said "Man Finds Sun Rises At Dawn." This must have been something of a disappointment for anyone hoping for something else.
For those not familiar with it, the purpose of Berkeley Earth was to create a new, independent compilation and assessment of global land surface temperature trends using new statistical methods and a wider range of source data. Expectations that the work would put teeth in accusations against CRU and GISTEMP led to a lot of early press, and an invitation to Muller to testify before Congress. However, the big news this week (e.g. this article by the BBC's Richard Black) is that there is no discernible difference between the new results and those of CRU.
Muller says that "the biggest surprise was that the new results agreed so closely with the warming values published previously by other teams in the US and the UK." We find this very statement surprising. As we showed two years ago, any of various simple statistical analyses of the freely available data at the time showed that it was very very unlikely that the results would change.
The basic fact of warming is supported by a huge array of complementary data (ocean warming, ice melting, phenology etc). And shouldn't it have helped reduce the element of surprise that a National Academy of Sciences study already concluded that the warming seen in the surface station record was "undoubtedly real," that Menne et al showed that highly touted station siting issues did not in fact compromise the record, that the satellite record agrees with the surface record in every important respect (see Fig. 7 here), and that numerous independent studies (many of them by amateurs) also confirmed the warming trend?
If the Berkeley results are newsworthy, it is only because Muller had been perceived as an outsider (driven in part by trash-talking about other scientists), and has taken money from the infamous Koch brothers. People acting against expectation ("Man bites dog") is always better news than the converse, something that Muller's PR effort has exploited to the max. It does take some integrity to admit getting the same answer as those they had criticized, despite their preconceptions and the preconceptions of their funders. And we are pleased to see Muller's statement that "This confirms that these studies were done carefully and that potential biases identified by climate change sceptics did not seriously affect their conclusions." It's far from the overdue apology that Phil Jones (of CRU) deserves from his critics, but it's a start.

Reviews for Apple-Cinnamon Shortcakes
Sort By :
"@ Lynsin you are the only one that has negative comments about this, looks like everyone else has good things to say. And as the saying goes opinions are like azzholes everyone has one. To me this would be great for that one time of year through the Holidays to make."
"Wouldn't try this as good as it seems. Too much fat and cholesterol though buttermilk could probably be substituted for the cream and or my gosh the calories. From someone without cholesterol. LynsIn"
"This was delicious! Very easy to make too. I also got more shortcakes then what the recipe said. I had to taste one before serving it and it was so good by itself. My apples did get a little mushy. Does any one know what type of apple would work best for this recipe?"
"Very Good! The only change we made was to double the filling/apple mixture. Great dessert for a cool fall day! The shortcakes are very tender and wonderful served warm."
"So yummy thank you !!!!!!"

Optimising purchasing costs remains the priority of purchasing departments but the goalposts have moved. They have moved so far that we can already see a new and more ambitious role emerging for purchasing: that of a strategic business partner. In some businesses, the purchasing department seems to play the role of a solution finder and contribute to the value offered and the promise made to customers.
The purchasing function is evolving into a position of influence, contributing all the facts and figures to guide the business to reaching the most profitable decision. But such a position requires high standards and skills, which are clearly not widespread in most purchasing departments. This is one of the main challenges for the purchasing function over the next few years.
How BearingPoint brings value
Employees in the purchasing department are becoming more experienced and better qualified. 60% of them have more than five years experience and 68% have a high level degree.
Considering resources' purchasing skills in order to consistently align market requirements and people career development willingness, while ensuring complete involvement and motivation, is key in an efficient purchasing organisation. Indeed, maintaining and improving purchasing skills to anticipate key business issues and supplier market evolution is a factor of competitiveness. Purchasing departments are setting targets in terms of mission and responsibilities. To make it happen, the mandatory next step is to create a skills development programme. BearingPoint can assist you on this 'sensitive' topic by building accurate development programmes. The main outcomes are in-house mentoring, learning by doing and re-enforcement of the sourcing community to better fulfill the purchasing mission.

When musical composer and instrument builder Cheryl Leonard first arrived at the Palmer Station in Antarctica, she felt immersed in a plethora of sound, ranging from the bellowing of elephant seals to the crash of glaciers that were shaking off sheets of ice.
"I thought Antarctica would be very quiet," said Leonard. "I was frankly quite surprised by how noisy it could be in the summer. A lot of it is the wildlife--they have a short time to reproduce, so they're quite loud--and then there were the ice sounds."
Leonard's dual interests in drawing music from natural objects, such as stone and wood, and traveling to remote parts of the world were what brought her to Antarctica. For five weeks in January 2009, she explored Anvers Island, near the Antarctic Peninsula, to collect a spectrum of sounds and natural objects that could be made into instruments.
She would ride out in an inflatable boat to record the sound of glaciers, floating pieces of ice, and icebergs. Icicles, Leonard said, have different pitches depending on their size and could almost be played like a xylophone, but one had to be careful not to tap too hard. Icebergs were also challenging because they could flip over. She had to hold her microphone at a safe distance so she wouldn't fall into the water, while still keeping it close enough to gather sound.
"We could go up to an iceberg and it would have a lot of air trapped in it, like a bowl of rice crispies," said Leonard. "Others would not have any air trapped in them, so they'd be very silent, but you could hear waves sloshing into the cavities inside."
Leonard also built instruments from various items around the peninsula, such as penguin bones derived from carcasses she found along the coast. She created molds based on the icicles she came across, so that she could forge icicles for her performances. But, as one can imagine, maintaining ice instruments isn't easy.
"Fabricating icicles takes several hours in my freezer and then I put them in a cooler with dry ice when I transport them to the concert," said Leonard. "I remember the first time I did that, I didn't think about how cold dry ice is. The idea is that they would drip during the concert, but we ended up waiting around for a while for them to do that."
When it comes to composing songs, Leonard listens for aspects of these Antarctic sounds that seemed musical to her.
"I listen to them closely and pick out aspects I think are musical," she said, "like a rhythm that seems to be repeating from the shifting ice or a melody that emerges from the animals' vocalizations. I'll try and create a repetition of those parts or use instruments that imitate the sounds I want."
A year after her trip, Leonard released an album called, "Chattermarks: Field Recordings from Palmer Station, Antarctica" and began playing shows featuring Antarctic sounds. This week, she played for the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) conference in Portland, Oregon.
Leonard doesn't intend for her work to deliver a message about climate change, but she believes that her music, in some way, can't avoid reflecting the continent's changing environment.
"I don't want to preach, since my primary interest has been finding unique sounds," she said, "but you can't make a piece about that area without taking climate change into account."
Leonard is currently working on a new album, consisting of nine tracks made from sounds she collected in both the Antarctic and the Arctic regions. She expects to release it sometime in early 2013.
"I'm always surprised by the range of sounds that come out of things. Like if you pick up a rock, you don't think it would have a spectrum of sound," said Leonard, "but it's all about the way you play it and the way you amplify the sounds inside of it."

CANTON St. Lawrence Countys struggles for an increase in its sales tax could wrap up soon with passage of a state budget or continue for a while on a separate path.
The budget could be a viable way for passage if it includes extenders for counties that require periodic sales tax renewals along with parity for those not at the same level as others, said state Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome.
I support it in philosophy so long as there are conditions, he said.
Those could include a return for state Legislature approval if an individual countys formula for sharing the revenue changed and that counties develop a best practices plan to live within the states 2 percent tax levy increase cap, Mr. Griffo said.
The Senate is definitely pushing this. The executive appears OK with this, he said. The Assembly has been reluctant.
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, accused the Senate of overkill and of not offering a straightforward answer to St. Lawrence Countys sales tax request.
Its a much bigger bill than we need, she said. We shouldnt be changing these processes without a whole lot of thought and consideration.
Mrs. Russell has sponsored home-rule legislation for the county in the Assembly and believes she could find partners in the Senate this year to have the legislation passed.
The Senates plan to hide sales tax increases in the budget and remove the states oversight role is dangerous policy and not in the interests of taxpayers due to the reduced transparency and accountability, she said in a statement.
If sales tax parity is not part of the budget, then it is time to consider another path, such as home rule, Mr. Griffo said.
St. Lawrence County wants to increase its local sales tax from 3 to 4 percent, bringing the total with the states 4 percent to 8 percent. A five-year plan the county developed demonstrates how it would lower property taxes by 14.3 percent in the first year and hold the annual increase in the other years to 2 percent.
Included in the plan was a 10 percent distribution of the additional sales tax to towns and villages, some of which were unhappy because their current allotment is greater. The present distribution is for the county to keep half of what it collects and give the rest to towns and villages after the city of Ogdensburg takes a 6.4 percent cut.
The countys plan to reduce property taxes is not binding, but the Board of Legislators intends to make it work, said Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction.
If Im there, Im going to do whatever I can to follow this plan, he said. I think the very best thing to do is return it to the taxpayers. Im quite satisfied with the plan because we did a lot of due diligence.
State senators urged a united front with the towns and villages, which is coalescing, although it may not be unanimous.
Some county legislators have tried to convince towns and villages to sign on to the five-year plan.
Legislator Joseph R. Lightfoot, R-Ogdensburg, developed a spreadsheet that shows the difference between a 1 percent increase under the current distribution formula and what each municipality would receive under the 10 percent split. Mr. Lightfoots figures also include the savings to taxpayers, the total return to towns and property taxpayers and the difference between them.
Overall, only the villages and property taxpayers of Canton, Rensselaer Falls, Richville, Hermon, Norwood and Potsdam would see an overall reduction with the 10 percent split compared to the current distribution formula. However, property owners in all communities benefit from the 10 percent distribution, Mr. Lightfoot said.
Granted, the towns receive less, but youre putting money in the taxpayers pocket, he said. Theyre going to save a heck of a lot more money than if the towns kept it all.
Many towns have healthy fund balances and have not developed the same kind of plan the county has to use the additional revenue to cut property taxes, he said.
After a conversation with Mr. Griffo, village of Potsdam Mayor Steven W. Yurgartis one of the representatives who tried to convince county legislators to increase the 10 percent municipal contribution changed course.
Its been a good fight, but I think it is now time to recognize that we are very unlikely to get a change in the countys sales tax distribution proposal. I believe we must accept that we will not be getting what we wanted, and to be good partners with the county and help them get what they need, Mr. Yurgartis wrote in an email message he sent to town and village leaders. The county has made a strong case that their financial problems are so dire that it would be impossible to change the sales tax sharing scheme beyond what they have proposed. They have also offered a five-year plan that takes the additional sales tax revenue and returns it as property tax relief for county citizens.
Mr. Griffo said he made a strong suggestion to county leaders to find consensus with the towns and villages, but it was not a requirement.
I told the mayor, Its not going to stop it because theres a number of towns that want it and a number that dont, he said.
Some towns and villages have formally lined up behind the countys five-year plan, including DeKalb, Edwards, Hermon, Heuvelton, town of Gouverneur, Louisville, Macomb, Pierrepont, Russell, Stockholm and the town of Waddington.
Russell Supervisor Robert C. Best Jr. said the countys plan to use sales tax to reduce property taxes while giving a 10 percent nod to towns and villages was an improvement over last years proposal to redirect sales tax from municipalities to the county.
We were worried the county would have to take a third of our sales tax, he said. I thought this was a win-win. The county listened to us.
Supervisors and mayors will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Potsdam Civic Center.
Brasher Supervisor M. James Dawson Jr., Supervisors Association president in the county, did not have a running tally of where town and village boards stood on the 10 percent distribution plan.
Its all over the place, he said. I just tried to make this a fairness issue.

Clippers 106, Utah 91
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sat, 04/01/06, 06:45am:
What happened last night?
Brand mobilized his game. Rather than set himself in the post or take the fifteen-footer (not that there's anything wrong with that...particularly when you're second in the league in FG % for 2-point jump shots), he decided to take Carlos Boozer off the dribble. I can't recall a game this season in which EB appeared more agile, more willing to bob and weave his way through traffic. For whatever reason, Sloan decided neither to double Brand nor to stick Kirilenko on him. Jerry Sloan has nothing to prove to a schmuck like me, but I kept waiting for him to make the adjustment and it never came. It's easy to style these critiques in hindsight; if Corey and Vlad aren't knocking down their shots, then this is an entirely different conversation. But their accuracy from the perimeter was no coincidence - Utah was slow to the ball all night...which makes sense because they're a uniquely slow team.
One of the reasons that Brand had his run of the place was that Dunleavy stole a page from his opponents' playbook last night. When Dunleavy decided to start Vlad at the 3 to match Utah's size on the wings, he figured that he might as well use Vlad's range as a means to spread the floor. Once the Clips established their outside game and set themselves up on the perimeter, that left Kaman and Brand (and Rebraca) with plenty of room to maneuver. Kirilenko had to straddle the key - it was as if the wife, Masha Lopatova, was setting up inside and a...errrrr...."slice of pizza" was hanging out on the arc. [Did I place a moratorium on AK-Masha entries? Whatever. It's my goddam blog]
A word about Shaun Livingston: he looks confident, both in his floor command and in his shot. Last night in 23 minutes, he recorded six assists with only two turnovers. On defense, he's doing a much better job at fighting through screens, which is saying something because he weighs, like, 110 pounds.
In the "needs improvement" column, throw a tag on Chris Kaman for his soft inside D last night. Utah's offensive rebounding numbers speak for themselves (12-1 in favor of the Jazz), but there was more to it. The Jazz were able to set easy low screens throughout the first half. I'll tell you what helped, though: Dunleavy sticking Rebraca at the pivot in the second half for a stint, allowing Kaman to move over to the 4. This took a lot of pressure off Kaman on the defensive end and prompts an interesting question - is Chris Kaman secretly a power forward?

1 U.S. Code § 112a - United States Treaties and Other International Agreements; contents; admissibility in evidence
(a) The Secretary of State shall cause to be compiled, edited, indexed, and published, beginning as of January 1, 1950, a compilation entitled "United States Treaties and Other International Agreements," which shall contain all treaties to which the United States is a party that have been proclaimed during each calendar year, and all international agreements other than treaties to which the United States is a party that have been signed, proclaimed, or with reference to which any other final formality has been executed, during each calendar year. The said United States Treaties and Other International Agreements shall be legal evidence of the treaties, international agreements other than treaties, and proclamations by the President of such treaties and agreements, therein contained, in all the courts of the United States, the several States, and the Territories and insular possessions of the United States.
(b) The Secretary of State may determine that publication of certain categories of agreements is not required, if the following criteria are met:
(1) such agreements are not treaties which have been brought into force for the United States after having received Senate advice and consent pursuant to section 2(2) of Article II of the Constitution of the United States;
(2) the public interest in such agreements is insufficient to justify their publication, because
(A) as of the date of enactment of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995, the agreements are no longer in force, [1]
(B) the agreements do not create private rights or duties, or establish standards intended to govern government action in the treatment of private individuals;
(C) in view of the limited or specialized nature of the public interest in such agreements, such interest can adequately be satisfied by an alternative means; or
(D) the public disclosure of the text of the agreement would, in the opinion of the President, be prejudicial to the national security of the United States; and
(d) The Secretary of State shall make publicly available through the Internet website of the Department of State each treaty or international agreement proposed to be published in the compilation entitled "United States Treaties and Other International Agreements" not later than 180 days after the date on which the treaty or agreement enters into force.
[1] So in original. The comma probably should be a semicolon.

You may not be able to find cases for Lumia 920 by the boatload like you can for iPhone 5 and Galaxy S4. But Nokia' flagship Windows Phone is nonetheless a great device and, if you know where to look, you can find some great accessories for it. Here, Pure Mobile is rounding up three of the best Lumia 920 cases, as we pay our dues to one of the best devices on the market.
For starters, Incipio shows that what's good for Apple is also good for Nokia, with a model of its Feather carrying case for Lumia 920. Like other incarnations of this slim and compact hard case, the Feather for Lumia 920 boasts a barely-there weight and modern minimalist design, along with all the protection you need to keep your phone safe from daily wear and tear.
Pictured above, the Feather for Lumia 920 comes in a slew of colors that range from more professional to fun and vibrant.
Another hard shell case, Nokia's own officially-branded Protective Cover case for Lumia 920 is the very definition of a custom-designed carrying case. Made to be a perfect match, it comes in all the same signature colors as the Lumia 920, so you don;t have to sacrifice the unique look of your favorite smartphone.
Finally, if you're the flexible type and prefer soft shell to hard shell cases, G-Zed Mobile's latest Lumia 920 case will probably be a perfect fit for you.
A swanky and modern skin made of high quality, flexible TPU, the G-Zed Mobile Skin for Lumia 920 combines a sleek, glossy finish with a smooth matte finish, and incorporates curved design elements for a unique and attractive look.
So whether you're looking for an officially-branded accessory, something soft and flexible or the most lightweight carrying case out there, these three offerings from Nokia, Incipio, and G-Zed are among the best Lumia 920 cases you can find.

CENTRAL FALLS — During about a 10-minute span, a maintenance worker came up to Paul Landry with a broken section of pipe and inquired about a certain bushing, a young mother pushing a stroller collected paint color samples for her baby's room, and two carpenters debated the best product to use on a ceiling repair. It was a small slice of a typical day at J.A. Landry Hardware on Broad Street.
Yet, after 110 years, the mainstay for factory mechanics, laborers and do-it-your-selfers alike is closing its doors, primarily due to the local economy.
Landry, whose grandfather, Joseph Albert Landry, founded the store, said he feels bad about the decision, but business has been dwindling over the past decade or so. "It's the basic economy," he said. "In past recessions, we could usually carry through the difficult times, but with the big boys in Washington, it puts a crunch on everybody." He added that the hefty property tax increases imposed by the city on business owners for the past couple of years contributed to the financial strain.
Landry said that for many years, Landry's business thrived on the many mills that operated in the local area. "Murdock Webbing, Health-tex...we had 10 to 15 mills we were dealing with on a constant basis," he said. From fasteners and piping to paint and cleaning supplies, the factories would order in bulk. Plus, there was always a machine breaking down, a part wearing out, or something that needed fixing. "If we didn't have it in stock, we would either make it to fit or order it for them," he said.
Landry's sister, Connie Landry McCann, who has also worked in the family business for over five decades, spoke of the bustling days when nuts and bolts in various sizes would be delivered by the truckload, and extra space was acquired just to hold the assortment of piping. "We would get an order for 144 brooms, things like that, from the mills," she said.
It was different era for the homeowner as well. When something broke, people usually tried to fix it, and most products were made with replaceable parts. Nowadays, "more products are designed to be throwaway," Landry lamented. He noted, however, that even the big home improvement store chains seem to be hurting, a combination of the poor economy and less people building and fixing things.
What Landry's had, in addition to a large inventory of tools and parts, was its friendly customer service. "If someone couldn't find something here, we showed them where they could get it," Landry said.
Landry said he began helping out in the store when he was 13, and, with the exception of three years in the U.S. Army, has worked there for 51 years. About 40 years ago, he took over running the business from his father, Albert, who had worked alongside his own father and brother, Edgar, for decades.
"I will miss the public. The people who came in here, the customers...they're great, said Landry. "We became a big family People would come in and we'd start talking and then the kidding would go around. It would make for a pleasant day of working," said Landry.
McCann, who has logged 56 years at the store, agreed. "It's always been close-knit. They call my brother 'Uncle Paul' Customers have been coming in and saying, 'Where are we going to go now?' Sometimes, it was just to talk," she said. "I'll miss that."
"Our life is in this place," McCann added. She began helping out in the store at the age of 15 and later became the bookkeeper. At various times, she worked with her grandfather, uncle, father, siblings, and later, her own six children. "It's been really nice working with all our family," she said. One son intends to remain until the store's official closing at the end of December and will be looking for another job after that.
"Our father gave his life to this place," McCann added, noting that Albert Landry had worked until the age of 78 and died two years later in 2000. She also noted how her grandfather had lived right around the corner, on Sacred Heart Avenue, at a boarding house, which is where he met and fell in love with her grandmother. He started the original hardware store in space that had been a bicycle repair shop.
Landry added that in the peak business years, the family took over two adjoining storefronts to add room, one a barber shop, and the other, Bailey's Spa, a popular neighborhood soda fountain and lunch counter. He also recalled how his grandfather had sold gasoline from big glass dispensers outside, and how he had made deliveries by horse and buggy.
For now, both Landry and McCann say they are going to try and embrace retirement, and leaving the hardware store behind will allow them to enjoy more time with their respective spouses and family members.
Landry also does plumbing, electrical work and carpentry work, and will continue to manage several family-owned properties.
The store will remain open until Dec. 30. In addition to getting the word out to their old-time customers, Landry and McCann are also looking to sell off the store's inventory, which includes over 10,000 nuts, bolts and fasteners, among other hardware and tool items.
"My father promised his father that he would keep the store open as long as he lived, and he did, even though the business was starting to slow," said McCann. "But he also told us that he would not put that same request on us. He said 'Close it, before you drive the name down.' "

This is a good way to cook fish. Adam was worried it wouldn't work, but it ended up being fine. I had really old frozen salmon in the house, and that's what I used. I think it's better to cook this for a short amount of time. If you're not around to check it after a few hours during the week, save fish for the weekend.

I followed these directions but found I needed to cook the salmon a bit longer, maybe 40-45 minutes. The salmon was very moist this way and not smelly. Just make sure you get very fresh salmon in case it is a tad undercooked compared to conventional (non-crockpot) cooking.

M, thank you for that link! I agree that slow, low temperature cooking for salmon should work well. I usually buy frozen salmon at either costco or trader joe's---I'll try it this way next time, and if it still is overly fishy I'll bite the bullet and buy fresh.
thanks again!

I love salmon, and we have it at least once a week, but I am just not sure about this. . .I buy all of my salmon at Costco.
However, I am making the brie for the girls and I tonight!

Good to know that it may work! I think salmon smells fishy most of the time, so I guess I wouldn't be surprised if it did for this.

I live by the mantra "If it's from the sea, it's not for me". I know-- I'm a big baby. But if I WERE to eat fish--I'd have it just like the way you made yours. I like citrus and green beans together.

Wanted to say that i mentioned you in my blog today, and used your stock recipe and made up my own recipe to use with it. perhaps you can try it and see what you think? Love your blog!

Hi Becka, your blog says it's for invited readers. May I be invited?
I'm glad that you having fun with your crockpot.

I LOVE salmon and usually cook it in my electric steamer but may try it in the crockpot. I'm the only one in my family who eats it but I'll still try it! I like to spread wholegrain mustard on the top of salmon fillets. Yummy! (oh, a quick question about sitemeter - how do you find out who has been visiting your blog? it shows the location and domain (ISP) but I can't figure out how I can tell who has visited!)thanks x

Now THAT'S a new concept...Fish in the crock pot. I am trying to learn to like salmon because it's supposed to be good for whatever ails ya'...maybe I'll try this for a change! I've been using my crock pot even more since discovering your blog!

I love salmon... this is something to put on my list to try!

I'd put the salmon in at the end, maybe for 20-30 minutes or until it's done to your liking. I've added shellfish (fresh raw shrimp or canned crab meat) to crock pot recipes before--and just put it in for the last few moments. Never tried a filet before, but I think it would be the same idea--short cook time. Thanks for the tip about LaChoy soy sauce being gluten free. I use San-J wheat-free tamari, but will get some LaChoy now to compare.
- January 20, 2008 at 7:25 PM
Try wrapping the salmon in some parma ham or proscuttio Ham.....when I cook it in the oven it takes away all the fishyness of the salmon
- September 30, 2008 at 2:39 PM
Could you cook the rice in the slow cooker at the same time?
- November 16, 2009 at 4:45 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi anon,
I haven't tried this! I have made rice in the slow cooker before, though. If you test it out, I'd love to hear your results. My inclination would be to put the rice and water in a small pyrex/corningware with the lid on, then layer the salmon and veggies on top, wrapped in foil.
oooh, I'm excited to try!

I was so excited when I found this recipe. I love using my slow cooker! And the idea of having a salmon dinner with no effort is very appealing.
I tried this recipe a couple of weeks ago. I think that the texture of the salmon was great (better than I expected, really)! My complaint would be that the only flavor I could taste was green beans. The salmon didn't taste like salmon, it tasted like green beans. It was very weird, lol.
If I were to try this recipe again, I would do it all the same (perhaps smaller amounts of the marinade ingredients), but I would cook the beans seperately with the same flavors.

Thank you for your comment! I will try my hardest to answer questions as they come up, but if your question gets buried, you may try me on twitter or facebook.
Happy Slow Cooking!

WADDINGTON – More senior housing could be coming to the town.
The Life Enriching Alternative for Families, a branch of United Helpers, hopes to fulfill an unmet need in the north country by building private housing for seniors in their own communities.
An information session will be held at 7 p.m. Sept. 26 at the Hepburn Library Community Room to gauge public interest and input on building housing within the town. The public is invited to attend.
We want feedback on what they like about the model, what they would want to do differently, and what they feel this service would offer the community, Maplewood Health Care and Rehabilitation Administrator Kimberly A. McFaddin said.
The co-housing concept of residential-style public housing is fairly new to the region and is being researched by United Helpers.
The idea has come about as a trend across the country, Ms. McFaddin said. We have low-income housing and rehabilitation centers, but this is different. We researched individual homes and larger facilities. We combined the best from those models to come up with a model that would work best for our area.
The homes will accommodate six to eight seniors who require or prefer the comfort and safety provided by daily support and assistance.
The homes will have private bedrooms or suites, private baths and large common areas.
This housing concept may be the perfect model for those seeking a non-institutional alternative for seniors living close to family and friends, Ms. McFaddin said.
Thats one of the emphases of this program: to stay near families, Ms. McFaddin said. A lot of times when seniors live alone or a retirement facility, they suffer from a lack of activity. Some of them still enjoy day-to-day work. We think this model would address those areas, while also having the support and assistance from family and the residence.
The housing model was recently presented in Norwood.
We are looking for a community that has the physical need and interest, Ms. McFaddin said. We are in the information gathering stage at this point.
A potential location in the community has not been set. Town Supervisor Mark Scott said he would work with United Helpers administrators to find a suitable location.
I believe there is a large need for this in Waddington, Mr. Scott said. I encourage people who are interested to come to the meeting to show their support and gather more information.
