This year it will be hard for a lot of people to have a Merry Christmas. Economically things around the country and the world for that matter are not very good. For many the sparkle of what tinsel is on the Christmas tree will be dimmed. But regardless of what year it is, there are those that just generally don't like Christmas.
Over the years I have met many people who dislike Christmas for various reasons. I used to think the tone of how people felt about Christmas was set in their childhood; they were poor when they were kids and they didn't get much while their neighbors celebrated in a big time way or they came from an abusive family relationship where Christmas meant a lot of booze and then a lot of abuse as a result. I had generated in my mind a pretty simplistic view of why one would not like Christmas.
But with age I have come to see the dislike of Christmas as a much more complex issue than that. Up until I was 29 I had never experienced a bad Christmas. My parents made it a special time of year for our family. There was no abuse in our family and there was little rancor around Christmas. That was except when I was about 10 and my dad confronted, in front of our Christmas tree, an older man who was trying to go out with my sister who was 18 at the time. It was the maddest I had ever seen my dad get; but it was a good mad because he had the best of intentions.
When I was 29, my first true sadness at Christmas occurred. I had just gotten a divorce and my two small children were at home with their mother and her family. I didn't get to see them until the day after. But it wasn't all bad either; I got to spend the day with the woman who would spend most of the next 27 years with, my parents and my sister and her family.
In the ensuing years we have had many good Christmas seasons and some very tough ones. But in some ways those tough ones have made us appreciate the season so much more in retrospect. We have had parents and siblings die near the holidays, we have been out of work, with little money, living in poor housing and in a bad part of a big city. We have had family disputes that set one part of the family against the other and one year in the late 1980's my wife and I spent the holidays apart, due largely to my stupidity and misplaced vanity. We have had other years with other kinds of incidents that had marred holiday spirits; fires in homes we owned, water pipes broken and vehicles that broke down on the coldest of Christmas days, where I spent the day getting greasy fixing vehicles rather that sitting around the tree enjoying my family. We spent one entire holiday season at a hospital out of the area taking care of my sick father. I was reminded of that just this past week when we found presents we had bought for him before that time packed away in an ornament box. We were never able to have a good Christmas for him before he passed away a couple of months later.
These years of Christmas' with less joy than usual has brought me to understand the feelings of others who don't care for Christmas. I now understand their feelings much better than I did when I just thought anyone who disliked Christmas was just a scrooge.
Religious folks will tell you that if you look at the true meaning of Christmas, it will always bring joy to your heart. And even if you aren't religious, their words about what the season means and how we should perceive it, regardless of our circumstances, can bring comfort to us.
And the next time you run into someone who says they don't like Christmas, don't just dismiss their feelings as a fluke or an aberration, but try to understand that events of the past can make or break the holiday season for someone.

The body of Edward L. Whitfield III, 47, was recovered Wednesday morning from the Black River, according to City of Watertown police.
Shortly before 8 a.m., Bradley Sheehan, an employee of Northbrook Energy LLC, spotted a body in the river at the hydro racks in Glen Park.
Several agencies responded. Two members of the Jefferson County Special Tactics and Rescue Team entered the water and secured the body, which was brought to shore and positively identified as Mr. Whitfield.
Mr. Whitfield was reported missing after he apparently jumped into the river to try to save 5-year-old Zachary J. Finley from drowning after he slipped and fell into the water while the two were fishing April 27.
The boys body was recovered about an hour after the incident at the same location in Glen Park.
Mr. Whitfields body was transported from the scene by Cleveland Funeral Home and turned over to the Jefferson County Medical Examiners office.

I know that there are a lot of you out there asking, why write about the Giants? We are in Utah, not California. Who cares?
Well, I care. You see, I am a fifth generation San Franciscan, who, even though I now live in Utah, still bleeds the orange and black. As a young girl growing up in a household where the only sport watched was baseball, there was only one team - the San Francisco Giants. If there was baseball on then it had to be the Giants playing. I remember always asking my dad where Willie Mays was. Didn't matter if the two teams were from LA and New York, it was baseball, so in my mind Willie must be on the field somewhere.
As I got older and realized that there really were other teams out there, and as my friends rooted for the A's, or even God help me - the Dodgers, there never was any other team for me. The players changed, but not the orange and black. It was and always has been the Giants for me. For several glorious years I was lucky enough to be a season ticket holder. I had seats in the upper boxes, about 6 rows up from the rail just to the left of home plate. I sat through many cold, frigid night games (not to mention cold frigid day games!) at Candlestick Park. I would often watch the fog roll in over the left field side of the stadium, creeping over the upper deck and floating down until you couldn't see the warning track. I had so many Croix de Candlestick buttons (a pin awarded to those who stayed extra innings at a night game) that I couldn't put them all on my Giants baseball cap.
Even after I got married and moved to Price, the Giants were never out of my heart. My poor husband joked about being a "baseball widower" come spring. He even began watching the games with me, or if I was working and unable to watch he would keep me posted on what the score was and how 'my boys' were doing. He has, in the thirteen years of our marriage, gradually become almost as big a fanatic as myself. We have spent the last few weeks of the playoffs and World Series staring at the television, screaming at the screen, alternately groaning or cheering depending on the action taking place.
We watched, along with baseball fans everywhere, as a rag tag group of veterans and rookies grabbed hold of our hearts and took off running. They weren't supposed to be here. If you were a betting person, and had laid a bet in Vegas at the beginning of the season on the Giants getting into the playoffs you would have had 30-1 odds. And I am pretty sure the odds of them winning the World Series were even higher. Reading articles before the playoffs those 'in the know' were saying the boys from San Francisco would never beat the Phillies. They were wrong. Then they were saying the Rangers would mop up the place with them. After all, the Giants didn't have offense. They didn't have a 30-home run guy. They didn't have the RBI guys either. There was no way they would make it past the formidable pitching arms of the Texas bullpen.
Well, I recall my father saying home runs are pretty, and they are exciting, but they usually don't win games by themselves. You need things like a blooping base hit dropping into a gap, or beating out the throw to first by a whisker. You need sliding in under the tag, or a sacrifice bunt to move along the runner. The Giants did all that...and tossed the home runs in too.
This 2010 Giants team isn't full of prima donnas. They are a motley crew, some with thick bushy beards, some who look like they are not even old enough to shave. They work together as if they have played with each other for years, even though some of them have only been playing together for a few months. And they proved all the pundits wrong.
At the end of game five, I watched the team pour out onto the field, leaping across the grass, arms in the air, screaming themselves hoarse with joy. And there were tears in my eyes. My 12-year-old daughter looked over at me and said 'Mom...you're crying!' All I could do is nod.
You want to know something? Life comes around full circle. You see, to my daughter, when baseball is on she figures it is the Giants. And she turns to me and asks 'Mom, where is Buster Posey?'
Ok, so maybe things change a little.
Way to go, Giants!

Next week my father, Ned McCourt, turns ninety years old. We had an open house for him last Friday during the Thanksgiving holiday. A lot of his family, friends and acquaintances were there to help him celebrate. We didn't put all of the candles on his birthday cake. He said someone might call the fire department.
Dad is still in great shape for being ninety. Most people would never guess he is that old. He surely doesn't look it and he doesn't act it either. He still lives in his own home, takes care of himself, drives his pickup around town and sings in the church choir.
He does his own irrigating and takes care of the livestock on his small farm in Wellington. He still makes beautiful leather belts for family and friends. He is still active in church and attends city council meetings when he has something to say.
Dad has a sense of humor, too. Last week when he was only 89 years, 11 months and two weeks old, my wife Jeannie ask him how it felt to be ninety. He smiled with a twinkle in his eye, and said, "How would I know? I'm not ninety yet."
Dad was born in a little log farmhouse in the Uintah Basin in 1920. The world was a lot different then. The family came to Carbon County in a covered wagon in 1923, his father hoping to find work in the coalmines. The trip from Duchesne through Myton and Nine Mile Canyon took most of a week. They were pioneers who helped settle the town of Columbia, living in a tent until the town was built and there were houses to move into.
Dad's father died when dad was only nine years old. There wasn't much of a social safety net in those days and the family felt the full force of the Great Depression. His widowed mother struggled and made many personal sacrifices to take care of her six children, working as a janitor, seamstress and midwife. The four boys and two girls learned to work hard or do without at an early age. The two older boys, Tom and Ivan, went to work in the coalmines while still in their early teens. Dad was the first of his family to graduate from high school. In 1939 he went to work in the mines, just a few weeks after graduation.
The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on dad's twenty-first birthday. He joined the Navy and fought in the biggest naval battle in history. He was at Leyte Gulf during the fight to take back the Philippine Islands. Dad was serving as a gunner's mate first class when the Japanese sent in and bloody fight, lasting more than a week. There were hundreds of ships, thousands of airplanes and hundreds of thousands of men involved. Dad's ship and crew were issued a presidential citation for their gallant actions in rescuing American survivors after a major naval battle off Samar Island near Leyte. He was also at the battle of Peleliu, one of the deadliest and costliest island campaigns of the Pacific.
Dad married Bertha Reon Winn in January 1945. They were together for 62 years, until God called her home in 2007. After the war they settled on a little farm in Wellington and raised a good crop of boys. Dad worked in the coalmines and then went to work for Carbon County. He served as a deputy sheriff for 22 years, from 1952 until 1974. He was president of the Utah Peace Officer's Association during that time.
In 1974, at the age of 53, he went back in the coalmines and stayed until Price River Coal closed the doors in the 1980s. In retirement he has been a farmer, a rancher and a wonderful grandpa with 17 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren and one great- great-grandchild, so far.
My father is a member of that greatest generation Tom Brokaw wrote about. He has honorably served his family, his community, his church and his country his whole life. If all men were like him, the world would be a wonderful place.
Good men do good works and all of humanity benefits. If this country and its leadership could again turn to the principles, moral values, honor and integrity that has guided and sustained men like Ned McCourt, we would have nothing to fear and our future would be bright and prosperous.
Thank you, and happy birthday, Dad, from the whole family.
We love you.

Dear fellow engineers and advisors,
I feel the need for some professional and impartial career advice as I am possibly at a turning point in my career, and would be keen to hear some feedback.
I come from a multi-skilled engineering background working my way up from being a young apprentice to my current position of Energy Manager, with a budget of nearly £3 million. I have both hands on engineering experience of both electrical and mechanical and worked on a variety of equipment, plus experience of management in roles of Engineering Manager and also as stated above, my current role as Energy Manager. I am educated to BEng (Hons) and always keep my self updated to the latest regulations.
My questions is - Although I am currently excelling in my current role, I had most satisfaction working 'on the tools', and unfortunately it seems the skills I trained so hard to gain may never be used as I am mainly office based doing reports and assessments. Is now the time to go back to practical engineering (I am 39), and look for a new challenge or should I continue where I am?
Any guidance always welcome.

Hello Phil,
An interesting dilemma. I have always avoided management roles and have remained in contact with the equipment although not fully hands on.
It is difficult to find a career path that is at least reasonably well paid but avoids going down the management route. Some hi tech companies offer a technical career ladder, but these tend to end up being more theoretical than practical.
There are some niches generally around specialized and complex equipment where degree level people are required for maintenance and support. This is the route I have taken, being technically responsible for a number of industrial particle accelerators ranging from 550kV to 3.0 MV. This is very definitely hands on during maintenance and repair.
How flexible about location and job style are you? There are always openings for field commissioning engineers if you don't mind travelling. These are generally quite well paid to compensate for the inconvenience and are always varied and challenging.
This is all based on my experiences, but may give you some ideas. A couple of links you may like to look at:
Best regards
25 September 2012 10:50 AM
Hi Phil
I mostly agree with Roger, and to a fair extent have similarities in my career trajectory.
I'd say that the first thing you need to decide is what you want from your job. If it's just a way to get money for other aspects of your life (work to live) then probably management will maximise your earning potential. On the other hand, if you're the kind of engineer that does it because you're not capable of not thinking like an engineer and it's all you ever wanted to do, it gets trickier.
In most companies, unless your engineering job has some form of Technical Authority aspect to it, it's unlikely that you'd find similar financial return to what you would get in management.
A lot also depends on what kind of industry you're in. I work in a line of business where technical decisions about major equipment can have massive (many millions of £) cost impact. The people who have ultimate responsibility for that technical input are fairly well paid but they still need a lot of soft skill because they still need to carry clients, project managers, etc with them. And, of course, by the time you're in that sort of role nobody's going to pay you to wield a screwdriver.
I think you need to set the question to yourself a little wider. There are other things that might matter. Are you married? Do you have children? How would either decision affect your family? That's not a straightforward question because a wealthier but bored and frustrated breadwinner isn't necessarily a good thing.
So can you hack a career in management? Do you have enough specialist knowledge in any one field to be a Technichal Authority figure?
I've found a niche where the balance suits me, but it has taken a lot of understanding from my wife. Roger sounds like he's found one that suits him. I hope you can find one that suits you too.
Sorry this is more questions than answers but it's all stuff I've gone through, and I think you need to consider it all to make the right choice for you.
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

Four math and science teachers from Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties were named master teachers by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Tuesday, making them each eligible for $60,000 in stipends for partaking in a statewide program to recognize and support some of our best educators.
Jennifer N. Fraser, with South Jefferson Central; Deborah J. Wilkinson, Lyme; Valerie Pond, Carthage, and Majella LaRock, Brasher Falls, are among the first 105 teachers to join the states Master Teachers Program.
The program will provide a $15,000 stipend per year for four years to each participant.
In partnership with SUNY Plattsburgh, the north countrys master teachers also will engage in peer mentoring and intensive, content-oriented professional development opportunities; help support the next generation of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) teachers; take part in professional development and training sessions, and attend regular meetings.
Mrs. Fraser, an algebra teacher at South Jefferson High School, Adams, said shes looking forward to working with teachers around the state.
For me to work with high-quality, more experienced teachers, it will be a good experience for me, she said.
Mrs. Fraser, who has been at the school for four years, after two years at Lyme Central School, Chaumont, said she was most inspired by the chance to inspire young people and get them excited about math.
Mrs. Fraser said she also was excited to hear about Ms. Wilkinsons selection. When she worked at Lyme, the two had neighboring classrooms.
Mrs. Wilkinson, an eighth-grade integrated science teacher at Lyme who also teaches Regents earth science and physics, shared Mrs. Frasers enthusiasm.
I think this is a phenomenal opportunity. And Im incredibly excited to work with the other teachers because I believe collaborating with other districts makes our district stronger, she said.
Mrs. Wilkinson, a Lyme Central graduate who has been with the district for nine years, said she already works with a lot of new teachers and believes shes a good fit for the program.
Thanking district administrators who assisted her through the application process, Mrs. Wilkinson said she is up for the challenge and eager to learn more about the state program.
Mrs. Pond entered her 17th year working for Carthage this fall as a high school math instructor. Her greatest accomplishment this year has been undertaking flipped classrooms, in which students watch videos of her lessons online after school and then do homework in class. In June she won state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchies Golden Apple Award.
Mrs. Pond, who first heard she made the list in a phone interview, said only, I was waiting to hear. ... Im kind of in shock.
In St. Lawrence County, Ms. LaRock, who teaches high school chemistry, biology labs and applied chemistry at St. Lawrence Central High School, Brasher Falls, said teachers had been encouraged to apply for the program by Thomas Morrison, president of St. Lawrence Central United Teachers.
Ms. LaRock said that while still teaching, shell be required to travel to Plattsburgh some evenings and weekends as part of the four-year program.
Its going to involve traveling to Plattsburgh a few times a month to do course work. It is a serious commitment, she said.
Its a stepping stone in her career, though, Ms. LaRock said.
Im about midway in my career here. I have a lot of years left. With all the changes coming, it seemed to be a great way for me to stay on top of and even get ahead of the game, to keep myself in the loop and fresh. It just appealed to me. Im pretty excited about it. Im really excited to be part of the first group thats a part of it, Ms. LaRock said.
Applications for the second round of the program will be accepted Nov. 1 through Jan. 3. Selections will be made next spring.

I could never get the environment to install properly...
i've been a big fan of C# and the .NET framework for about a year now, and i was wondering if anyone over here is using it?
i wrote a program in C# that connects to a bunch of IRC servers and then lets me leech all the warez nice and easily (http://www.ircleech.com) without too much hassle. I stopped working on it though due to lack of interest on my part because most of the fun stuff was done already.
these days i'm using C# mostly for framework development... nothing big really, just some stuff that i experiment with...
so anyway.. has anyone here done anything with C# yet?
I could never get the environment to install properly...
[quote author=trickster link=board=9;threadid=8872;start=0#msg80109 date=1079642975]
I could never get the environment to install properly...
what kind of problems did you have? maybe i can help out
I think last time I tried, I had trouble accessing the CVS. However, that was a long time ago. I will try again...
Sadly Mono's garbage collection doesn't work under FreeBSD 5.x since Mono 0.24. So as much as I would like to do C#/.NET coding I'm unable atm. (The port is marked broken for this reason - someone has to convince Ximian to fix it or do it themselves)
It's a great framework though, and C# is a extremely nice language.
[quote author=trickster link=board=9;threadid=8872;start=0#msg80112 date=1079644077]
I think last time I tried, I had trouble accessing the CVS. However, that was a long time ago. I will try again...
well there's really no reason to use the CVS version of mono unless you're thinking about contributing to mono
if you just wanna play around with it, install a released version and things should go pretty smooth... they might even have packages for your distro. and if no packages are available, compiling it isn't very hard (it's not like the CVS version which requires a magic combination of steps to get it working )
WEll, I'm going to give mono 0.30.1 a try in hopes to getting IRCLeech running on BSD.
BTW, Welcome Back Ralinx! ;D
I have it installed, but I haven't found a (nor did I look too hard I admit) good tutorial. These days I fool around with Squeak a lot (if only programming environments could all be like that...). I also still have fun with Python and Common Lisp. But I'm without a job, so learning C# could look well on my resume, so if you can point me to good resources, I might just look at it (though I am pretty sure it would not become my favorite language)
[quote author=GnuVince link=board=9;threadid=8872;start=0#msg80183 date=1079745034]
so if you can point me to good resources, I might just look at it
well unfortunately i can't... the company i work for has a subscription to books24x7.com and that's where i go to learn more about IT things and obviously i can't give out the account information.
But there are a lot of C# forums out there, and i'll bet a lot of those places have tutorials online. Also, MSDN has a SHITLOAD of information because they wanna turn everyone into .NET developers.
it's actually an easy language to get started in... i suggest just experiment a little and just browse the framework when you need to do something in particular so you can learn about all the available classes.

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday in favor of President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul, saying that Virginia has no right to challenge the law's mandate that requires most Americans to purchase health insurance. The court also shot down Liberty University's preemptive argument against having to make additional payments for not complying with the healthcare law, according to POLITICO.
Of the Liberty University challenge, the court ruled that the legal challenge had come too soon.
"Because this suit constitutes a pre-enforcement action seeking to restrain the assessment of a tax, the Anti-Injunction Act strips us of jurisdiction. Accordingly, we must vacate the judgment of the district court and remand the case with instructions to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction."
POLITICO noted that this is the first time that the penalties levied against non-compliers were referred to as a tax. The Anti-Injunction Act requires Americans who want to challenge taxes to first pay the tax and then ask for a refund. The court said Liberty can't challenge the mandate until 2014. Obama repeatedly claimed the healthcare mandate would not equate to a tax on the middle class, although his lawyers have used the fact that it is to win their argument.
The court ruling in the case of Virginia absolved the Federal government of any wrongdoing in its push to require individual mandates for health insurance.
"When a state brings a suit seeking to protect individuals from a federal statute, it usurps this sovereign prerogative of the federal government and threatens the 'general supremacy of federal law.' A state has no interest in the rights of its individual citizens sufficient to justify such an invasion of federal sovereignty."
Since the rulings focused not on the merits of the law but on the claims against it, Obamacare supporters have gained little in the ruling. And opponents are expected to play down the impact of the rulings, mainly because the judges were all appointed by Democratic Presidents — two by Obama himself.

In the dystopian society of The Giver, Jonas is assigned to be the receiver of memories shared by only one other in his community — the Giver — and soon discovers the terrible truth about the society in which he lives.
The Giver of those memories tells Jonas, "... There's much more. There's all that goes beyond — all that is Elsewhere — and all that goes back, and back, and back. I received all of those, when I was selected. And here in this room, all alone, I re-experience them again and again. It is how wisdom comes. And how we shape our future."
Lois Lowry is one of America's most popular and versatile children's and young adult book authors. She has written in a variety of fictional forms, from the WWII tale Number the Stars to lighthearted adventures of Anastasia Krupnik to the fantastical The Giver."She was born Lois Ann Hammersberg on March 20, 1937, in Honolulu, Hawaii. She was a shy, introverted child who loved to read and moved frequently with her family wherever her Army officer father was stationed. At age 19 she married a naval officer, moving their own family frequently for his career. She finished college in Maine in the early 70s and published her first novel, A Summer to Die, in 1977. She then showed her lighter side in 1979 with Anastasia Krupnik, which became the first in a series of humorous books. She won her first Newbery Award for the 1989 novel Number the Stars, and the second award in 1993 for The Giver. Her recent works include Son (2012) and Gooney Bird and All Her Charms (2013).

LISBON – In an effort to ensure the long term self-sustainability of the Lisbon Beach and Campground, the Town Council voted to raise rates.
The vote, which took place at Wednesdays monthly Council meeting, will set the new prices into effect after May 15. Bookings made prior to that date are being grandfathered in at the old rates.
The goal is to have the Campground self-sustaining, Campground Director Michael J. ONeil said of the changes.
After May 15, tent sites will see their prices raised from $18 to $19 per night for residents and from $19 to $20 per night for non-residents.
Thirty-AMP sites with water will rise from $22 to $24 per night for residents and from $24 to $26 for non-residents. The 30 AMP sites with water and sewer will also have their prices rise by $2 to $27 per night for residents and $29 per night for non-residents.
Fifty-AMP sites with water and sewer will increase from $26 to $28 per night for residents and from $28 to $30 per night for non-residents.
Residents will still pay $5 for the dump station, but non-residents will be required to pay $7 under the new system. Boat docking will remain at $5 per night.
Entering the campground for a day will still cost $3.
Long term campers will still receive a 10-percent discount for every month they stay, providing they pay the entire cost upfront.
Mr. ONeil said the prices at the campground are lower than many places he has visited around the country.
The towns budget officer William E. Dashnaw said the campground had $117,298 in expenses last year, but made $138,072 in revenue, enough to keep the campground in the black.
Town Councilor Alan D. Dailey said the town should establish a separate fund for the campground to keep its finances separate from the rest of the town budget in order to provide more transparency to residents.
But rising rates arent the only changes coming to Lisbon Beach and Campground this summer.
Chad D. Rice of New Horizons Wireless, Lisbon, has been hired by the town to install wireless internet at the campground, which he estimates will be up and running within 2 weeks.
Mr. Rice will not be charging the town for the installation of the internet access, instead charging customers directly when they access the internet from their computer or mobile device. There will be a hotspot at the park, Mr. Rice said, and when customers attempt to access the internet they will be directed to a page where they can purchase day passes, starting at $1.95.
The Town Council also voted to allow vendors into the campground for a flat fee of $100 a year.

POTSDAM The Hammond girls and the Madrid-Waddington boys took divergent routes to the same destination, a berth in Saturdays Class D regional finals, in Tuesday nights twin bill of New York State Tournament basketball action at SUNY Potsdam.
More precisely, make that regional finals berths opposite top-ranked and undefeated Section 2 champions.
Hammond (21-2) controlled Elizabethtown-Lewis from the opening tip and secured a 47-31 victory and a meeting with Fort Edward at Adirondack County Community College at noon on Saturday.
You wouldnt believe how hard we worked since last Tuesday to get ready to get back to the regional finals, Hammond coach Shawn Dack said after his Red Devils buried nine 3-pointers. We expected them to play man-to-man but they came out in zone. But it didnt matter because we were ready for anything.
Our seniors gave us great leadership. We talked to Gabby Marshall about playing like a senior and she was ready to hit those 3-point shots.
Meanwhile, Madrid-Waddington (17-7) erased an 11-point deficit in the second half and used three outstanding defensive plays in the final 30 seconds of an electrified fourth quarter to claim a 49-46 win over Section 7 champion Moriah (11-11). The Jackets earned a 4 p.m. game with Argyle at Hudson Falls High School and a rematch of last years regional, which vaulted M-W into the New York State final four.
Moriah shot the ball well, their big guy clogged up the middle and they penetrated our man-to-man defense very well in the first half. We went to a zone in the second half and that worked better, M-W coach Aaron Jones said. I just cant say enough about our guys.
Hammonds preparedness was illustrated on the opening tip that Alyssa Crosby directed to Courtney Bova, who took the ball to the basket for a tough fastbreak conversion.
Crosby, who spent much of the Section 10 Tournament playing in the post, shifted to the perimeter and buried a pair of 3-pointers and scored 11 points leading the Devils to 18-7 first-quarter lead.
She netted a three in the second quarter en route to score a game-high 16 points. She also grabbed 10 rebounds and had four assists.
Marshall netted a 3-pointer in each quarter scoring 12 points. Bova knocked two threes in the third and finished 10 points. Emily Bush provided nine interior points through the first three quarters, when the Devils opened a 43-23 lead.
Lily Whalen buried three 3-pointers leading the Lions (19-2) with 15 points.
Midway through the fourth quarter, Moriah had methodically built a 27-16 lead by controlling the tempo and the boards through the combination of smooth freshman center Dan Jaquish (12 points, 9 rebounds), shot-making forward Derek Brassard (16 points) and point guard Jessup Calkins, who contained the penetration of M-W guard Colin OBryan.
But the Yellow Jackets revived their cause with a swarming defense that forced a quick flurry of turnovers. Richard Wright scored off a steal and OBryan invigorated the halfcourt offense with an acrobatic drive down the lane and a pull-up jumper to cut the difference to 27-23.
Jacob Barney opened the fourth quarter with a three to tie it at 30-30. Eight lead changes and three ties later, the Vikings had a 46-45 lead on a jumper by Brassard and control of the ball with about a half-minute left.
But the M-W defense denied the Vikings a good look and, with the shot clock running down, Greg Thompson intercepted a pass to the wing and raced downcourt to a layup for a 47-46 lead with 29.4 seconds to play.
The Vikings bid to answer was snuffed as Maurice Rease intercepted an interior pass and netted two free throws for a 49-46 lead.
A final desperation possession for Moriah produced two 3-point attempts and OBryan blocked the second from behind at the buzzer.
Cassidy Chapko scored 22 points, pulled down 10 rebounds, had seven steals and handed out four assists as Section 2 champion Hoosic Valley whipped Section 10 winner Canton in a state Class C first-round game at Adirondack Community College.
The defending state Class C champion Indians (20-3) will travel to SUNY Plattsburgh on Saturday to take on Section 7s AuSable Valley in the state quarterfinals. Emma Rexford led Canton (19-3) with 15 points.
Hoosic Valley advances to take on Section 7 champion AuSable Valley in the Class C quarterfinal round on Saturday at SUNY Plattsburgh.

I have just set up dual boot - windowsXP & Ubuntu.
When installing Ubuntu, it showed the list of OS's that it found and asked where I wanted grub. I got nervous, and decided to put it onto the floppy. My reasoning was that it would leave the mbr alone, and allow my system to boot up windows without getting confused.
It won't boot without the floppy now (requests a system disk, and gives an error about there being no mbr!).
If I use my Windows XP disk to fix the mbr, I assume that I'll lose Ubuntu?
How do I repair this?
Further to that, it lists 6 options (3 for each OS). 2 of the Windows options don't work (only the Windows XP Home one does), which confuses my wife!
I'd like to be able to edit grub so that it just lists the 2 OS's that we have.

This will definitely be dinner tomorrow!

I have a big, ol' hunk of meat, some Rotel tomatoes and black beans in the slow cooker right now. Hoping to make arepas and use the meat and beans for filling. If I run out of time and motivation tonight, I may use your idea and add some corn and put it over baked potatoes.
Gotta stay warm. It was 29 degrees when I woke up yesterday.
- October 23, 2010 at 9:40 AM
- Netta said...
Oh... this looks WONDERFUL!
I'm gunna have to add it to the menu for next week.

This sounds yummy! Is it spicy? My daughter can't eat it, if it is to spicy.

- Debbi Does Dinner Healthy said...
Looks delicious! I have some meat in freezer that this would be perfect for!
I am actually writing up your chile verde and coming over so I can link you! It was awesome! Thanks!
- October 23, 2010 at 2:04 PM
- blearyblueyedjack said...
Question--could you just chunk some raw potato and put it in to cook with the rest of it? (or halve some raw red-skin potatoes and put in it)
- October 23, 2010 at 2:21 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
hi blearyeyed: of course! pop em on in. they'll cook just fine, and will be seasoned along with the meat.
- October 23, 2010 at 2:32 PM
- Genevieve said...
Is the cooking time for frozen meat or defrosted?
- October 23, 2010 at 2:44 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Genevieve, this is right for thawed meat---if it's frozen you might stick to the longer end of the range. The meat will tenderize more the longer it cooks.
- October 23, 2010 at 2:56 PM
I am not sure if you know that Bush's chili beans are not gluten free. I have noticed that your stuff normally is..... so just thought I would mention that. All Bush's products are gf with the exception of the "chile" line.

How fantasticly easy! Crocktober has been fun... thanks for sharing so many recipes!

Delectable chili. Love the shredded beef... Man oh man I have to get back into using my crock pot!
- October 26, 2010 at 7:24 PM
- Lucia- insert creative nickname said...
This was yummy, and easy! Easy ingredients, easy prep! My roast was frozen so it didnt tenderize, just cooked, so we sliced it up and put the rest over rice. Will definitely make this again.
- October 26, 2010 at 9:05 PM
- Bev M said...
I made this and it was really delicious! The only change I made was to put 5 red potatoes cut in eighths in the bottom of the pot before putting the meat and then the other stuff on top. I also made the tsp of chipotle powder a little "scant" and the heat level was perfect with the Rotel and chili beans. This is a keeper, I'll definitely make it again. Would be great for potluck if you take the meat out and pre-shred it and add it back before serving.
- October 30, 2010 at 1:16 PM
- Holly said...
I have to tell you - we had this on Saturday night. It was really good, but that's not what I have to tell you. I had the leftovers for lunch today and it was AWESOME! I couldn't believe how good it was, and SOOO easy to make! I am definitely adding this to my monthly recipe rotation! Stephanie, you are the BOMB! :-D

Awesome recipe, EVERYONE in my family loved it!! Thanks :)
- December 5, 2010 at 3:25 PM

Add 1/4 cup A1 Sauce (I did after it cooked, but before would probably be even better)
- January 17, 2011 at 8:27 PM
- Stacy said...
About the Bush's chili beans- I have yet to email the company, but I also read the back of the can and thought they were safe. I did notice that an older can of their chili beans that I keep on my shelf for the recipe on the back DOES have wheat flour in it for the thickener. The newer cans that I have contain the corn starch for the thickener. I am guessing that they just did not update the information on their website. I am going to send off an email, though, because I love the ease of their chili beans.
- February 2, 2011 at 7:29 AM
How great! This would be wonderful shreaded into some TACOS!! OMG YUM!!!
- February 18, 2011 at 1:49 PM
- Becca said...
Hi! I wanted to let you know, that first the link for the Bush's site is broken, and second that the can you have up there is now gluten-free.
- July 14, 2012 at 7:00 AM
- Jude Chiy said...
After making this, I had it for breakfast, lunch and dinner...AMAZING!!!
- November 5, 2013 at 6:15 AM
- Brenna Kate Simonds, Living Unveiled said...
http://www.bushbeans.com/en_US/products/dietary_considerations/ "All BUSH'S® products made after May, 2010 are gluten-free.
We have recently reformulated our Chili Beans products and our Chili Magic Chili Starter products to no longer contain wheat flour. The ingredient statements on these products now state Modified Corn Starch. Due to store inventory rotation and other elements beyond our control, we still urge you to check the labels before consuming these products if you have gluten restrictions."

Katy and Joe, JC.
Photo: @katyperry Instagram
It looks like Katy Perry is back in the brightly colored hair game again—hard. In April, Katy changed her dark locks to "slime green," but now she's back on that pink grind and, TBH, we couldn't be happier about it. I racked my encyclopedic knowledge of Katy's hair (fine, and the internet) to find the last time KP had pink hair and it was in 2011. Of course, a return to pink hair deserves a big debut and Katy landed Joe Biden to help her introduce her new look to the world.
Can we stop hair talk for one sec to talk about how tight Katy is with heavy-hitters in D.C.? First she offers to write Hillary Clinton a theme song and now this? I don't know what's going on there, but I like it. Now back to your regularly scheduled hair discourse.

Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
The university makes medical, dental, and vision insurance with a substantial employer contribution available to classified staff members who are appointed to work at least 75 percent of full time, based on a 12-month period. Classified staff members who are appointed to work from 51percent to 74 percent of full time, based on a 12-month period, are also eligible to enroll for medical, dental and vision coverages. However, the employee contribution health care coverage for these employees is equal to 50 percent of the cost of the coverage.
Medical, dental, and vision coverages are effective the first day of eligible employment. You may also enroll for these benefits during an annual open enrollment or when a family status change--such as birth, marriage, or divorce-- occurs. Your paid medical premium contributions are automatically deducted from your pay on a pre-tax basis.
If you are leaving the university for reasons other than gross misconduct and presently receive university-provided medical, dental, and vision insurance, you may purchase, at your own expense, continuing coverages through the university's group plan for up to 18 additional months. If your spouse or child becomes ineligible for continuing health coverages due to a loss of dependent status, your spouse or child can purchase continuing coverage for up to 36 additional months through the university's group plan.
When you terminate employment at the university, your medical insurance benefits continue until the end of the month of separation. Visit the Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Medical Coverage webpage to find more information about medical insurance benefits.
Prescription Drug Benefits
You and your dependents are provided prescription drug benefits through the university's medical insurance plan. Benefits are provided for both short-term acute care prescriptions and for maintenance drugs taken over longer periods of time. When you terminate employment at the university, your prescription drug benefits continue until the end of the month of separation.
Visit the Prescription Drug webpage for information regarding benefits for short-term acute care prescriptions and for maintenance drugs.
Flexible Spending Accounts
If you are appointed to work at least 51 percent of full time based on a 12-month period, you are eligible to enroll for a Flexible Spending Account (FSA). FSA's allow you to pay for unreimbursed health care expenses and for daycare expenses, using pre-tax dollars. You make pre-tax contributions to a Health Care FSA or a Dependent Care FSA through payroll deduction. Your contributions to a Health Care FSA may be used to pay unreimbursed medical, dental and vision care expenses. Your contributions to a Dependent Care FSA may be used for reimbursement of day care costs for dependent children or adults so that you can work. Flexible Spending Accounts are regulated by federal tax laws which require you to forfeit any unused contributions you make to your FSA in a calendar year.
Expenses incurred before your employment with Wright State or after your separation from the university are not eligible for reimbursement from your Flexible Spending Account.
Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance
The university provides life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance to you effective the first day of employment if you are appointed to work at least 51percent of full time, based on a 12-month period. To assure coverage, you must complete enrollment forms as soon as employment begins. You are provided term life insurance in an amount equal to two times your annual salary. An equal amount of accidental death and dismemberment insurance is also provided. You and your eligible dependents may purchase additional life insurance within the first 30 days of employment or during the annual enrollment period.
The Internal Revenue Code stipulates that employer-provided group term insurance coverage in excess of $50,000 is subject to taxation. The amount of tax can be computed using a formula available in Human Resources. You have the option to waive all or a portion of the life insurance provided by the university to limit your taxable income. Forms to waive coverage are available in the employee benefits section of Human Resources.
Your life insurance is extended for 30 days following termination of university-provided or purchased coverage. During this period you can convert all or a portion of the coverage to another form of individual life insurance without a physical examination.
Long-Term Disability Insurance
Long-term disability income coverage is provided to you if you work at least 75 percent of full time based on a 12-month period. The disability income benefit is 60 percent of your current earnings, less any income benefits payable to you by the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System, the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio, Social Security, or workers' compensation benefit(s). This benefit becomes effective after six months of disability and usually lasts until age 65 or when the disability ends. If disability occurs after age 65, the benefit will cease no later than age 70.
Employee Assistance Plan
You and members of your household can receive short-term, problem-focused counseling through the Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) to deal with a variety of personal and work-related problems. You may recognize the need for professional help, or your supervisor may suggest assistance. There are no fees for EAP services, and EAP counseling is confidential.
Voluntary Benefits
Additional voluntary benefits are available to Wright State employees. They include:
- Long-term care coverage
- Hearing care plan
- Supplemental life insurance for the employee and the employee's family members

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- 2 On Your Side has heard from dozens of people complaining of countless calls from Erie County Executive Democratic Candidate Mark Poloncarz's campaign.
Many posted on our Facebook page that they received several phone calls per day from someone claiming she was with the Poloncarz camp, and in some cases the caller would just hang up.
However, a spokesperson for Poloncarz says his campaign is not making these phone calls.
"I wouldn't want to guess on who might be behind it, but I sure would like to see, and I know the campaign would like to see an investigation to see who is pestering voters," says Peter Anderson, Poloncarz Campaign spokesman.
2 On Your Side called the number that is making the calls. We only heard a message saying, "If you received a call from this number, you were contacted regarding a political opinion poll. Thank you."
While Poloncarz's team didn't point the finger at his opponent, party officials are. Charlie King, the State Democratic Party Executive Director, issued the following statement regarding the reports of impostor phone calls:
"The State Democratic Party is asking Erie County District Attorney Frank Sedita III to investigate reports of widespread and fraudulent phone calls that specifically target Democratic voters in Erie County."
"Republicans clearly recognize they cannot win their upcoming elections on their own merits and are resorting to their usual playbook of unethical and reckless tactics. This is voter suppression at its most deceitful. Those responsible for these calls should be forced to answer to the proper authorities. No issue should be taken more seriously than the attempt to tamper with the democratic process so that people can cast their vote fairly."
Chris Collins' spokesman said in a statement, "Poloncarz is now claiming that phone calls coming on behalf of him from his allies are really smears..."
Spokesman Stefan Mychajliw said this is an attempt by Poloncarz to use "smoke and mirrors" to change the conversation from the voter fraud investigation at the Erie County Board of Elections. 2 On Your Side has learned deputies are closing in on an arrest of a Democratic staffer for marking absentee ballots for Chris Collins.
Collins' team, like the state Democratic Party, didn't provide any proof as to who is actually making the calls. Despite both sides' claims of dirty politics, the person actually behind the calls is still a mystery.
Thos who feel they've been harassed by the calls can click here to file a complaint.

|The levees of New Orleans managed to hold against Hurricane Gustav earlier this week -- but several more storms, including tropical storms Hannah, Ike, and Josephine are forming. Researchers are predicting an active September for hurricanes, calling for a total of 17 named storms and five major hurricanes before this year's hurricane season is over. In this segment, we'll talk with Ivor van Heerden, deputy director of the Louisiana State University Hurricane Center and director of the Center for the Study of Public Health Impacts of Hurricanes, about the levee reconstruction project, how cities along the coast weathered Hurricane Gustav, and whether New Orleans residents can rest any easier in the face of coming storms.
