I can volunteer to lead a day paddle & we can find a place to have a picnic lunch on the lake for Saturday.
When I've smoked meat for events I buy pork loin at Sam's Club and slow smoke it here. Then pull it at the event then heat it in my dutch oven. Since cwbybld is making beans I can bring about 6 lbs of meat with my favorite sauce. And yes it's the southern tomato based type.
When I took this pic there was snow on the ground and it took 6 hours to smoke this!
Pulled this amount will fill one 12" Dutch Oven.

2014 Smoked Butt Hang Planning Thread | Sign up Sheet
im interested but will have to wait to say for sure til we get a little closer
How many hammocks will the group site hold? Are the other sites compatible with hammocks? Can you do a scouting trip and give us some info.? [EDIT: I was looking at the wrong loop. Now have found the group sites on the map.] Sounds like this would be worth the 5 hr. drive.

Keep movin', keep believing and enjoy the journey!
This is to expound upon my 'other' fund raising selection in the poll.
I think a raffle is a great idea, but it doesn't need to remain the domain of our beloved cottage vendors. I am on a shoestring budget, personally, so I make as much of my own gear as I can. I'd be happy to make and donate some hammocks for raffle, for instance, or perhaps some pillows or amsteel things and so on. Lots of folks make stoves, stands, tarps, etc. Many people also have gear that they aren't using but don't want to go through the hassle of listing, selling, and shipping.
So perhaps a minimum fee would apply to all, in order to ensure that the facilities are paid for. A raffle of DIY and used gear could then defray food costs for those who are cooking.
I was at MAHHA a few weeks ago, and there was way more $$ from the raffle than was needed for the event costs, so I wouldn't think that funding would be a problem given the natural generosity of our group. The amount of food which was provided at the potluck was also way over the top with plenty of leftovers going home. I cooked about 3 gallons of black bean soup and served out every drop, with some folks wanting third servings!
I think the 'Smoked Butt Hang' is going to become an instant classic, especially given the prime location. I can't wait!

While the price tag for a ride into space might be out of most peoples' price ranges, there are still plenty of amazing gifts you can give a space dad or new grad in your life. From a Trek-tastic slicer for your cosmic pizza pie to an astronaut's postcards from space, our guide here should help you choose something even the most discerning space fan is sure to love:
Star Trek Pizza Cutter
Credit: ThinkGeek
Slice up your pies at warp speed with this "Star Trek" USS Enterprise D pizza cutter ($23.95) from ThinkGeek. The Enterprise D may sport an oval saucer, but the enterprising engineers at ThinkGeek found a way to incorporate a stainless steel round cutter that cuts through pizza like hot phasers through the Borg.
Why we love it: It's affordable, has a shiny chromium finish and has some heft to it (no flimsy Ferengi construction here!). We totally felt like Captain Picard in the comfort of your own kitchen with this pizza tool in hand. You could totally see Guinan serving up slices in Ten Forward with a side of Romulan Ale.
'Star Trek' Cufflinks Delta Shield
These "Star Trek" cufflinks are perfect for any science fiction fan in your life. The cufflinks — which features the Starfleet insignia — could be a perfect piece of flair for a wedding, business meeting or any fancy occasion.
Why we love it: At $64.99, the cost for these cuff links is a little steep, but we think it's worth it. The special cufflinks are officially "Star Trek" licensed.
'Big Bang Theory' Sheldon Cooper Bobble Head
Are you a fan of "The Big Bang Theory" and "Green Lantern"? This might just be the bobble head for you. This Sheldon Cooper bobble head comes equipped with a wobbly cranium and a Green Lantern t-shirt, effectively combining two nerdy pieces of media into one.
Why we love it: What's not to love? "The Big Bang Theory" and "Green Lantern" are the kinds of things we love separately. They're even better when put together, like PB & J. And at $14.99, this Sheldon is one you can easily see bobbling his Bazingas on your desk.
2015 Year In Space Calendar
Credit: YearInSpace.com
The 2015 Year In Space calendar from Starry Messenger Press come in two versions, both for $13.95: a large format 16-inch by 22-inch wall calendar and a handy spiral-bound desk calendar for space fans on the go. Discounts are available for bulk purchases, as well as for Space.com fans, so make sure you say you saw it here.
Why we love it: Every Year in Space calendar comes packed with spectacular space photos to enjoy, and vital reminders on major spaceflight and astronomy anniversaries, as well as celestial events like planet movements or meteor showers. Great for trying to map out your skywatching year!
R2-D2 Measuring Cup Set
Credit: ThinkGeek, Inc.
The R2-D2 Measuring Cup Set from ThinkGeek ($35.00) is a fun and compact way to get all of your baking done. Everyone's favorite "Star Wars" droid breaks apart into various cup sizes and then fits back together when it's not being used. It's the perfect baking shape for any "Star Wars" fan that wants to flaunt his or her franchise chops.
Why we love it: We've always wanted our own R2-D2, and now you can have one and bake a cake, too. You could even use the set to make a pizza, then slice it up with your USS Enterprise D pizza cutter. "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" can definitely work together for tasty treats.
RockLove Star Trek Dock Ring
Credit: CBS Studios Inc.
This set of nesting rings is just the kind of thing to make any "Star Trek" fan go crazy. The Star Trek x RockLove Sterling Dock Ring ($144.95) may, at first blush, look like a regular USS Enterprise, but in reality, there is more than meets the eye. The galaxy-class ship's saucer actually detaches, just as it can in "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Once the saucer is out of harm's way, you can re-attach the two rings, bringing the stardriver and body of the ship back together.
Why we love it: The ring plays on "Star Trek" lore in a clever way, making it the perfect gift for any big fan that might appreciate the inside joke.
Firefly 'I Want to Believe' Poster
Credit: Quantum Mechanix
This shiny "I Want to Believe" poster featuring Serenity from "Firefly" ($17.69) is perfect for any Browncoat or "X-Files" fan in your life. The poster features the Firefly-class Serenity ship flying above a sepia-toned world. It's a great mashup of "Firefly" and "X-Files" for anyone that loves fake aliens out in the 'Verse.
Why we love it: Face it, we're big fans of anything science fiction, so a two-in-one sci/fi mash-up poster is a perfect gift.
Shooting Stars in My Room
Credit: Uncle Milton
Uncle Milton's Shooting Stars in My Room ($29.99) brings the cosmos into your house. The toy projects shooting stars onto any ceiling, and it even comes with some glow-in-the-dark stars that can stick to walls.
Why we love it: The starry projections and sticky, glow-in-the-dark stars bring you right back to childhood.
Guardians of the Galaxy
Credit: Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment
"Guardians of the Galaxy" was one of Space.com's favorite movies of the 2014. Based on the comic book of the same name, the movie follows a weird band of misfit aliens and one human as they roam through the galaxy attempting to save it from evildoers. "Guardians of the Galaxy" ($19.99 Blu-ray/$16.99 DVD) is sure to please space fans of all kinds.
Why we love it: It's fun (and action-packed) romp through space, and the take-home set features the "Guide to the Galaxy" making-of special. And how can you not love a talking raccoon with a name like Rocket?
Star Trek: The Compendium
Credit: Paramount Pictures
"Star Trek": The Compendium" is perfect for any "Star Trek" fan. The set comes with both J.J. Abrams-directed movies, 2009's franchise reboot "Star Trek" and 2013's Khan-esque "Star Trek Into Darkness" ($24.96). The Blu-ray set includes special features including a making of special and never-before-seen footage.
Why we love it: At Space.com we have "Star Trek" on the brain and sci-fi collection is complete without the two latest movies in the franchise. And "Star Trek: The Compendium" is EPIC. It's a 4-disc set (2 discs per movie) filled with extra features, including 10 featurettes just for "Star Trek" and 20 more for "Star Trek Into Darkness." And then, of course, there's the obligatory audio commentaries, deleted scenes and trailers to suit any Trek fan, from lowly ensigns to lofty admirals.
Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey
Credit: 20th Century Fox
The 2014 reboot of famed astronomer Carl Sagan's much beloved series "Cosmos" gained wide acclaim when it hit the small screen, and now, you can re-watch every episode of "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" hosted by famed astrophyscist Neil deGrasse Tyson with this Blu-ray or DVD set ($38.85 on Amazon.com). The special sets come complete with a variety of special features including a making-of documentary.
Why we love it: The 21st-century relaunch of Cosmos was the perfect series to bring some of the latest discoveries in astronomy into the household. The Blu-ray is a 3-disc set with four special feautres, incuding a retrospective on Carl Sagan's legacy, the series' iconic Cosmic Calendar and an audio commentary for the debut episode "Standing up in the Milky Way."
Cosmos: A Personal Voyage DVD Box Set
Credit: Cosmos Studios
"Cosmos: A Personal Voyage" is a space classic. Hosted by famed astronomer and science popularizer Carl Sagan, the show, takes viewers on a ride through the universe and this box set allows you to take it home with you ($64.45 on Amazon.com).
Why we love it: If you were a fan of "Cosmos" when it aired in 1980, this 7-disc set is a great addition to relive the wonder from the original broadcast, but has been digitally remastered for the digital age. In our view, it's the best primer for the 2014 follow-up, "Cosmos: A Spacetime Journey," when planning a thoughtful trip through the galaxy and beyond.
"The Martian" by Andy Weir
Credit: Crown Publishers
Astronaut Mark Watney is left on Mars after a NASA mission goes awry. The book, written by first time novelist Andy Weir, follows Watney's fight for his life on the Red Planet. Weir uses his knowledge of science and engineering to his advantage, crafting a smart story for space fans.
What we love it: We'd like to think that if we were stuck on Mars, we'd fare have as well as Weir's Watney does. Not only is it a gripping read, the book is also being made into a movie starring Matt Damon and directed by Ridley Scott. [Read an excerpt of "The Martian"]
You Are Here: Around the World in 92 Minutes:
Photographs from the International Space Station
Credit: Little, Brown and Company
Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield's beautiful new book "You Are Here: Around the World in 92 Minutes: Photographs from the International Space Station" ($19.50 on Amazon.com) shows space in all of its glory. Hadfield visited the International Space Station for a six-month-stay from the end of 2012 into 2013, and took some amazing images. He put his favorites into this book, after sharing many of them on social media.
Why we love it: Hadfield's time in space was fun for everyone following him on Twitter, and this book captures a good bit of that excitement.
Cosmos: The Book
Credit: Ballantine Books
Penned by the late astronomer Carl Sagan, "Cosmos" ($13.99, Random House, 1980) traces the history of the universe in elegantly worded, accessible language. Sagan explains evolution, ancient and modern cultures and a variety of other topics in a concise and scientific but entertaining manner. The 13 chapters of the book correspond to the 13 parts of Sagan's "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage" TV show.
Why we love it: This book is a must-read for any fan of either "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" or "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage." Before Carl Sagan brought the cosmos to life through TV, he put his

CF Industries restarts Alberta nitrogen complex after flooding
July 1, 2013 | Lindsay Frost
CF Industries announced today that it has begun restarting its operating units at its nitrogen complex at Medicine Hat, AB. The company shut down operations at the complex on 21 June as a precaution to possible flooding. The site is about 200 feet above the river level, however, the company says, the pump house containing equipment used to draw river water for the plant operations is located near the riverbank. The equipment had been relocated to higher ground prior to flooding and has now been reinstalled and is back in service. "We have determined that it...

Sharing Memories (Week 17): Here Comes High School!
I hope everyone is getting those memories down on paper and will join me this week to share more! It's not too late, you can easily catch up by choosing SHARING MEMORIES from the right side bar. The list of the past 16 Topics is found there.
You know how happy we are to find an ancestor's diary or journal. Just imagine how excited your grandchildren or great grandchildren will be to read your stories in the future. Don't let those memories be lost - preserve them now!
This week we're talking about High School. Was it scary for you starting Grade 9? How did your High School years go - easy? Difficult? Fun? I was nervous at the start of Grade 9. I'd heard terrible stories of Initiation Day (remember those?) and how horrible the Seniors were to the little Grade Niners. Being a shy introverted kid didn't help! Our one and only High School was quite a walk from where I lived. You know the old exaggerated stories "I had to walk 2 miles to school every day through raging blizzards!" Well, that was true!
I lived in the old area of town in the northern part, divided by a railroad track and a super highway (now 8 lane Highway 401 in Ontario) from the newer area and the High School which was on the extreme furthest southern edge of town possible. To get to the school you had to walk East for quite a hike until you got to the one and only bridge which crossed the tracks and the highway. Our parents threatened us with severe punishments if we ever dared climb the fence that ran parallel to the railroad tracks and crossed them to take the much shorter route to school. I did it a few times but boy was it scary!
Initiation Day was worse than I imagined. We had to dress in togas (white bed sheets) and do the bidding of the Seniors all day. I had shaving cream sprayed in my face constantly, had to carry books from one class to the next as the Senior's "slave' and never got to eat lunch. Why not? I spent it on my hands and knees under a table in the cafeteria, acting as a footstool for a group of senior boys!
I also spent a lot of time (as did other Grade Niners) pushing marbles up the steep cement walkway to the front door of the school. My nose was sore for many days afterwards!
What are your memories?
3 comments:
- Carol said...
Have to say, those are some horrible memories. Thank goodness, this initiation stuff did not happen in our high school. In fact, I have never heard of it before in high schoool. My first and longest lasting memories from high school are of my band participation. I wish you had some like mine instead of these painful ones.
- Celia said...
Along with about 400-odd 12-13 year olds, I entered the 2nd largest high school in our province (total: 1940 pupils) in Grade 7. I was considered a "brain" (said with total derision), and hid out in reading books all the time, hated school. Walked along a very busy road to/from high school (abt a mile) having to go through a semi-industrial area with lots of catcalls and whistles...and so terribly shy I had my head down all the time. I had some great teachers which helped a lot - nice to have people believe in me - and several very novel interesting ones too. Glad it was over and I went to university - Whew!
- Greta Koehl said...
Wow, am I glad my high school did not have any regular initiation rites. As in Carol's case, some of my best high school memories are band memories. And I had to walk across town to get to my high school. Of course, it was a pretty small town.

The United Nations will be pushing for an expansion of its already powerful global environmental agency at this year's Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro June 20-22. The UN Environmental Program (UNEP) will be renamed the UN Environmental Organization (UNEO) and promoted to the level of a "specialized agency," giving it more authority and allowing it to receive more funding.
The ultimate purpose of the organization's restructuring is to support the Sustainable Development division of the UN, the same division that has imposed the radical and highly controversial Agenda 21 policies on nations across the globe.
The expansion is a recommendation of the global sustainability panel put together by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. The panel states,
One option is the possible transformation of UNEP into a specialized agency of the United Nations. A strengthened UNEP could enhance coherence between relevant multilateral environmental agreements, and better integrate its work with the activities of development institutions, especially the United Nations Development Program.
According to the United Nations, funding of the agency is to be voluntary, but "assessed contributions" may also be allotted to the agency based on the agency's needs and signs of success.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
Clyde Larson awoke one morning to this abstract thought, "I should make a saddle for the president."
This idea festered in his head and he began discussing the it with Jim Kelley, a friend. Kelley recommended that Larson create a saddle that featured the faces of the presidents. With that he started work in earnest on a saddle that according to him required thousands of hours of work Once work started his issue became how he was going to get this saddle to President Bush.
The main link in this chain would be Sen. Orrin Hatch. When the senator came to Price to visit our museum Larson had occasion to speak with him about the saddle. Once Hatch saw the saddle which features Presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Dwight D. Eisenhower, President George W. Bush and former President George H.W. Bush he began making plans for making the presentation happen.
"When he started asking where I would like to deliver the saddle I knew he was serious," said Larson. Larson told Hatch that he would take the saddle to the president's ranch or to Hill Air Force Base, but would really like to give it to him in the Oval Office. Hatch thought that would be a great idea.
Larson was contacted by the presidents office 10 days prior to the Oct. 16 presentation date.
"They told me if I wanted to do this I would have to make arrangements in the next 10 days. It was tight but we made it," said Larson. A special committee selects individuals that have applied to give gifts to the president. It only happens once every couple of years and only a select few are chosen.
Larson and his family took a bus straight from the airport to the White House. Larson and his family were so strapped for time that his son was left at the gate. He reported that the security check conducted by the Secret Service before allowing him to enter took over an hour. The guards at the front gates were especially suspicious of the large bag containing the saddle.
Once past the security check Larson and his family were led into the Oval Office to meet the president.
"He treated us like we were the president not him," said Larson. "He treated us like we were equal, he was very in charge and one of the most intelligent and articulate men I have ever met."
Larson reported that he and his family spent about 15 minutes with the president, conversing about various subjects. As they got up to leave Larson shook the president's hand and told Bush how great it was to have such an honest man working for him. Bush replied that it was nice to be reminded of that fact.

I used Startup Disk Creator on my Ubuntu (11.10)(this computer) and I found out that when I boot it from my old computer, it's extremely slow. My internet is out right now and I'm looking for ways to move the boot files to the preinstalled Windows 2000 (on the old computer) and boot it off from the HDD instead. I found out that this is because my old computer is using an Intel Pentium 4 and my Office Depot USB has a slow data transfer rate. Does anyone know how to move these boot files to the HDD and boot it off of there? Yes, sadly, there's no internet yet and I'm looking for a dual-boot.

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
What USB specification does your machine have? USB 1 has slower transfer speeds than USB 2. On my machine I had slow USB transfer speeds because the USB configuration in the BIOS was set to FULL SPEED and NOT to HIGH SPEED. Once I changed that setting then using a live Ubuntu USB became more acceptable. But Ubuntu live USB/CD will never run as fast as a hard disk install. It is something we have to accept. It is a limitation of the hardware.
You can use the startup usb drive you created to install a dual boot Ubuntu on your pc. It will give you the option to re-size your hard drive and create a partition for Ubuntu. Just select the install Ubuntu option.
If you find the livecd does not work well on your older pc try the alternate install. I know you don't have internet at the moment but obtaining one of those cd's shouldn't be impossible.
Also make sure you backup all important data if you do attempt to dual boot.
For USB stick installs, I would use what would be labeled "Windows Ready Boost Compatible" as those sticks have to be fast enough for swap. A $8 sandisk probibly to slow where as a high performance PNY stick should be faster

CHAUMONT The fate of a possibly contaminated property in the village that has sat in limbo for more than a decade soon may be determined, as the county begins an environmental study this summer.
The abandoned gas station at East Main Street and Morris Tract Road was the subject of some debate during a Jefferson County Board of Legislators meeting this month when Lyme Town Councilwoman Anne M. Harris presented a plan to turn the property into a year-round community marketplace and small-business incubator.
Mrs. Harris and other town residents had proposed that the county turn over the property to the municipality for development as a community resource, but an ad hoc committee of county legislators identified the site as being commercially viable and wants to see it returned to the tax rolls as a private business.
The county started to foreclose on the property but halted the proceedings until more is known about the state of contamination at the site, according to county attorney David J. Paulsen.
What happens next will be determined by the results of the study, as county officials have said they may elect to keep the site if it proves to be relatively clean. Otherwise, they will turn the property over to its current owner, Leo Wilson.
If the county were to cover cleanup costs, it would want to recoup its investment by selling it to a tax-paying business, Mr. Paulsen said. If the property ends up being owned by the town, it would be tax-exempt.
But with few demonstrating interest in the site since the gas station closed some 10 years ago, Mrs. Harris has argued that a marketplace would be good for the community and the county by promoting local agricultural offerings and teaching entrepreneurship to students from area schools.
Mr. Paulsen said that the testing will be conducted by LaBella Associates P.C., Rochester, and should begin two weeks after the contract with LaBella is signed this week.

Midwest Living Review
Because of its prominent stained-glass window, people in Richmond have always called the fine classic revival dwelling along the Old National Road "the house with the big stained-glass window." (Big surprise there!) But when Jill and Kris Nelson bought the house and decided to share it with overnight guests, they named it the Martha E. Parry Bed and Breakfast in honor of the wealthy woman who chose the magnificent window for her new home. With its original mahogany staircase and light fixtures, the splendid house evokes Richmond's industrial heyday. Today, guests stay in spacious rooms discerningly furnished with antiques and period reproductions, and when the morning sun illuminates the home's renowned window, they enjoy an up close look at its rich colors and lovely Art Nouveau motifs. For breakfast, Jill serves homemade dishes like quiche and baked French toast in the elegant dining room. Because the Nelsons and their two young children reside on the top floor of the house, guests sometimes get to meet or briefly chat with the kids. Looking for adult-only lodging or a place to have a girlfriends getaway? The couple also own and operate the nearby Philip W. Smith Bed and Breakfast in a historic Queen Anne home as well as Girls Night Inn, a rambling Victorian house with furnishings geared to scrapbook sessions and grown-up pajama parties. Rooms at the Parry Bed and Breakfast start at $109.

BRASHER FALLS Representatives from local townships, including Brasher, will meet with Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners on Tuesday in Potsdam to share their concerns about the potential for flooding with the spring thaw.
It has to do with planning for when the ice breaks up in the river and comes down. Weve had problems here in Brasher. It could affect residents here. I think last year the ice was right up under the bridge. That was one of the reasons for the meeting on the 25th, Brasher Deputy Supervisor William D. Demo said.
St. Lawrence County Legislators Jason A. Clark, D-Norfolk, and Anthony J. Arquiett, D-Brasher Falls, also will attend, along with representatives from the towns of Brasher, Potsdam and Norfolk.
Our superintendent of highways (Larry P. Hewlett) and (Councilman) Mark Peets will be going, Mr. Demo said.
Mr. Peets has been working on hazard mitigation plans for three areas of concern in Brasher. Among them is ice jamming and flooding on the St. Regis River.
He recently told the council that there have been ice jams that caused a backup of water in three out of 10 years. That water backup has flooded the Riverside Campground and several homes on the Congress Street Extension, Mr. Peets said.
Conditions three years ago along the Raquette River caused flooding in Colton and Potsdam and threatened bridges in Norfolk and Brasher Falls. On Jan. 14, the Wanakena footbridge was mangled by slabs of drifting ice and eventually was destroyed. Chunks of ice damaged the bridges foundation and twisted it, causing the 1902 structures demise.
Tuesdays meeting was set up by Mr. Clark, who had written a letter to Brookfield Renewable in February. The letter, which was signed by him, Mr. Arquiett, Legislator James A. Bunstone, D-Potsdam, Norfolk Town Supervisor Charles A. Pernice, Brasher Town Supervisor M. James Dawson and Potsdam Town Supervisor Marie C. Regan, shared their concerns about damming conditions along the Raquette and St. Regis rivers.
Mr. Clark had said in the letter that the large snow and ice accumulation this winter had created damming along the Raquette that could pose threats to private property and public infrastructure.
I approached them at the same time I sent the letter, Mr. Clark said. We just want to sit down with them and discuss our concerns, understand their process and understand how they may adjust their process this year because there is such a measurable volume of water compared to previous years. Theyve been very good to work with so far.
He said Brookfield representatives are putting together a presentation that will explain their process, and then there will be time for questions and answers.
Although winter is still in full force in the area, Mr. Clark said, they want to be ready when the spring thaw arrives.
Hopefully we start the thaw here before too much longer. The concern is, once it does start to thaw, there is going to be a lot of volume very quickly, he said.

Submission Nokia Puts 41MPixel Camera In A (Symbian) Phone -> 1
judgecorp writes: "We aren't sure what's the strangest thing about Nokia's new offering, the fact that it's got a 41 Megapixel camera or the fact that it runs Symbian. It has a very high resolution sensor and uses oversampling, apparently producing good results in low light. Users can either save a mazimum of 38Mpixels, or else zoom and crop for normal resolution images. Observers expected a maximum of one more Symbian phone before Nokia shifts over to Windows Phone. This suggests either a longer life for Symbian — or maybe Symbian was just an easier platform to make a show-stopping device that may turn out to be more of a concept phone."

Warmer weather has ramped up construction activity at John F. Kennedy Elementary School.
Its exciting to see the progress, Principal Susan A. Jacobs said of the $19.1 million undertaking at the school.
The building is getting a large addition on the north side which will roughly double the capacity of the current building to accommodate several hundred students displaced by the pending closure of Lincoln and Sherman elementary schools.
The shell of the addition is largely complete, with temporary electricity available, Glenn Erb, an architect with the Bernier Carr Group, said.
He said work will progress over the summer.
Youll see the roof line change dramatically from a flat-line roof to a bow-string roof, to provide better drainage, Mr. Erb said.
As early as September the district expects to be able to use part of new wing to house roughly 85 students from Sherman, which will close June 30.
Lincoln Elementary School will close in June 2014. Kennedys student body at that point will swell from its current 450 to over 700, Mrs. Jacobs said.
Part of the project will see the main entrance moved to the north side of the building where an airlock security system will be installed to better protect students, city school district Superintendent Timothy M. Vernsey said.
The main office will also move to the north side of the building to better regulate the flow of visitors. Anyone entering the building during school hours will have to be buzzed in.
These changes will allow the school to move the student drop-off and pick-up zone to the north side, while buses will continue dropping off students on the south side.
Mrs. Jacobs said separating the bus traffic from family vehicles will ensure students are safer while coming to and leaving school.
Over the summer construction will also move inside as the cafeteria and band room are renovated.
The work is expected to be finished in late 2014.
Its not just Kennedy that will see major construction over the summer, Mr. Vernsey said. Crews will begin revamping the sports fields at Ogdensburg Free Academy, as well restoring the roof of the Edgar A. Newell II Memorial Dome.
He said OFAs libraries will also be renovated over the summer.
The projects at Kennedy and OFA are part of a multi-year, $57 million district-wide renovation project approved by voters in 2010.

|This delicious pot roast cooks on top of the stove.
Recently I got a new enamel-coated-cast-iron pan that I'm quite infatuated with. This pan is so heavy and conducts heat so well that I thought I'd try using it to make pot roast on top of the stove, something I never did before because I didn't have the type of heavy dutch oven you need to cook a roast this way. I used boneless chuck roast, rubbed it with some steak rub, and seasoned the liquid with Better Than Bouillon Mushroom Base, some onions, and some finely chopped frozen sage. (Why didn't I have the idea of freezing sage years ago!) The pot roast was really delicious, one more reason why I love this pan.
Stove-top Pot Roast with Mushrooms and Sage
(Makes 4-6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn.)
3 lb. beef chuck roast, fat trimmed
steak rub, for seasoning meat before browning (I used Pride of Szeged Steak Rub, but I think others would work)
1-2 tsp. olive oil, for browning roast
1/2 - 3/4 cup water (depending on the size of your roast and pan, see note below)
1 T Better Than Bouillon Mushroom Base
(can substitute canned mushroom soup and use less water)
2 onions, peeled and cut in fourths
1 T finely chopped fresh sage (or 1 tsp. dried rubbed sage, I think thyme would also be good if you don't have sage)
1 lb. crimini or white mushrooms, washed and cut in half
1 T flour mixed into 2 T water to thicken gravy (I used white whole wheat flour to keep it South Beach friendly)
Remove roast, mushrooms and onions from pot. Discard onions and set aside mushrooms and meat. Strain liquid if desired to remove bits of sage. (You could also use an immersion blender to mix in the sage, which is what I'd do next time.) Remove fat using a fat separator or by skimming it off with a fine-mesh stock skimmer. Taste the liquid for flavor, and if it tastes weak to you, simmer at high heat for a few minutes to reduce.
Mix 1 T flour into 2 T water with a whisk, then whisk that mixture into simmering stock and cook 5-10 minutes until gravy thickens. (Use white whole wheat flour for South Beach Diet.) For my pot roast, this was enough flour to make about 1 1/4 cups of slightly thickened gravy. If you have a lot more liquid than that or you prefer thick gravy you may need a bit more flour. You could also add some beef stock to the liquid if you wanted more gravy and increase the thickening accordingly.
Cut pot roast into thick slices, and serve hot with mushrooms (and other vegetables if desired) on the side, with gravy spooned over meat and mushrooms.

Well, now that this movie is out and ive finally seen it i think ill do a little raving. first off, its nothing what you think during most of it, and exactly what you think for about 10 total minutes in the whole movie. saying that, its not boring. its just not a torture fest for an hour and a half. its more just sheer hardcore than gross-out.
*spoiler alert ahead*
well im not doing a whole summary of the movie due to some limited time, garrrrr! school!, but ill highlight some points.
the whole first half of the movie cant really be described as porn, but there sure is some nudity in it. its a complete contrast to the ending half.
the first torture scene is of Josh who is in the prescense of a would-be doctor lunatic. he proceeds to drill holes in him with a power drill and cut his Achilles tendons with a scalple. none of these actions can really be seen. you only see the top half of Josh with the scalple act and they cut completely away for the drills. not too intense yet.
Paxton is up next where a hyperventilating little German is about to take a chainsaw to him but then freaks out and cuts off his ring and pinkie finger on his hand. he gets out of his handcuffs and shoots the guy in the head. he then goes through the complex in hopes to escape. he later rescues a Japanese girl who he met at his Hostel. some maniac is blow-torching her right eye. her whole face is nearly burned up and her eye is hanging out of its socket. Paxton takes some scissors and cuts it off in which yellow puss squirts out. this is the gore everyone intended.
final word, see the movie, itll definitly leave an impression

Cynthia Cranford, University of Southern California
Introduction: The move toward a service-based economy has forced the American labor movement to change. The growing low-wage service sector is characterized by "flexible' production resulting in contract, temporary, part-time or other casualized work. Labor law drafted in the pre-war era is ineffective protection for these new, casualized service-sector jobs; and labor protections were eroded in the Reagan decade. Restructuring has been achieved through processes of racialization as recently arrived immigrant women and men were recruited to the downgraded jobs. At the same time their work is made invisible through a gendered, anti-immigrant discourse that constructs them as economic burdens. In response to these structural changes, many unions have returned away from the bureaucratized, business unionism of the post-war era and have begun to organize the Latino and Asian immigrant women and men concentrated in these sectors. These unions have returned to a 'community unionism,' using direct-action organizing tactics successful in earlier periods of unionization. Like in previous historical moments when restructuring and immigration collided, immigrant women are active participants in this 'new' labor movement. In this paper I examine whether these processes affect relations of gender and race, with a case study of the Justice for Janitors (J4J) organizing campaign of the Service Employees International Union's (SEIU) in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles janitors are members of a new cohort of Latino workers, most of whom are recent arrivals. They are Salvadorans and Guatemalans who left home in the 1980s due to civil war and economic depression. The Mexicans are heavily made up of the 'migrantes de la crises,' described by Corneilus (1991), – new streams of migrants who left urban areas during the economic crises of the 1980s and early 1990s. Women are well represented in this new wave of Latino migrants. Many of these Latina migrants are single, most came to work and are significantly contributing to their household economies (Bretell and Simon 1986; Sassen and Fernandez-Kelly 1995). Women make up roughly 50% of Justice for Janitors members in Los Angeles. The prominent role played by women in Justice for Janitors, has recently been recognized during a three-week strike in L.A. Some politicians and journalists are calling the Justice for Janitors campaign a 'new women's movement" (Treviño 2000). However, Justice for Janitors is more than a movement for women. Justice for Janitors is mobilizing women alongside men within a frame of immigrant rights.
An understanding of the implications of this movement requires a theory and methodology that can link individual lives to structural constraints in a given historical moment. After a brief review of the literature on women and unions, I discuss how a theory of practice and a cohort analysis allows us to better understand social change. I then examine the structural constraints facing Justice for Janitors, focusing on the linkages between restructuring and immigration. Finally I examine the 'frames' and practices of organizing within this movement. I examine the extent to which women's engagement in new practices alongside men disrupt gendered and racialized relations of power that shape the lives of both women and men.

The U.S. Fed Cup team faces France later this month looking to maintain its spot in the prestigious World Group for 2015, and it will head to St. Louis with some of the most talented young players in the world.
U.S. Fed Cup Captain Mary Joe Fernandez nominated world No. 18 Sloane Stephens, No. 42 Madison Keys, No. 49 Varvara Lepchenko and No. 57 Christina McHale for the 2014 World Group Play-off vs. France at Chaifetz Arena on the campus of Saint Louis University, April 19-20. They will face French captain Amelie Mauremo's team of world No. 22 Alize Cornet, No. 74 Caroline Garcia, No. 76 Virginie Razzano and No. 87 Kristina Mladenovic in the best-of-five match series.
The winner moves into the World Group for 2015, with a chance to compete for the Fed Cup title. The loser will be relegated to World Group II. The U.S. fell to Italy, 3-1, in Cleveland in its 2014 first-round tie, while France defeated Switzerland in a World Group II matchup to advance to the World Group Play-offs.
All the members Fernandez's nominated team have Fed Cup and big-match experience, and the sixth-year captain said she has every confidence they are up to the task. Keys and McHale are both on the U.S. squad for the second consecutive tie.
"We have a great combination of experience and talent competing in this Fed Cup tie against France," said Fernandez. "We are excited to be led by Sloane, a strong Top 20 competitor, as well as promising young players in Madison and Christina, who have both performed well this year and have Fed Cup experience. Varvara always comes up big in Fed Cup as well and loves competing for her country.

Based at the University of Bristol, the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), also known as Children of the 90s, is a world-leading birth cohort study.
Between April 1991 and December 1992 we recruited more than 14,000 pregnant women into the study and these women (some of whom had two pregnancies or multiple births during the recruitment period), the children arising from the pregnancy, and their partners have been followed up intensively over two decades.
ALSPAC is the most detailed study of its kind and provides a rich resource for the study of the environmental and genetic factors that affect health and development. Through our research we aim to inform policy and practices that will provide a better life for future generations.
We receive core funding from the UK Medical Research Council, the Wellcome Trust and the University of Bristol and additional support from many other funders for individual projects.
Our scientific director, Professor George Davey Smith, leads the team, and our executive provides scientific direction and meets regularly to discuss new research proposals. Day to day, the study is managed by Lynn Molloy, the executive director. Since the outset, we have had our own ethics committee, which comprises clinicians, researchers, lawyers and lay people, including study participants. We involve participants in many aspects of the study and they have their own advisory panels and online discussion forums.
A powerpoint presentation has been produced that gives an overview of the study. Researchers are free to use this when talking about the study or take individual slides from it, but please do not change the content: ALSPAC_summary_Oct2014.pptx

Control-wise, it's pretty much the same deal as before. Still no jump button (which is ironic, considering the title of the magazine that features the original series), but otherwise the combat is smooth and as satisfying as ever when you send crowds of enemies flying. Compared with the first game, movement feels more refined and fluid, but that may have been my imagination, and the 40 inch TV I was playing the demo on...
As for new features, a Haki system has been added for combat against Logia-type bosses. (If what I just wrote makes no sense, then you're not a huge fan of One Piece and this game and its predecessor are totally not for you.) There will also be non-canon "what if" scenarios for fans to enjoy. New usable characters are also expected be added. So far, the only definite addition is the lightning man, Eneru, but teasers indicate that Black Beard and Aokiji will be included as well.
All in all, from what's been revealed so far, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 feels a bit more like Pirate Warriors 1.5 than a full 2. Then again, the previous game did seem rather abridged, so maybe the first one was 0.75 and this is 1.0?
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 will be available on the PS3 and PS Vita on March 20th, 2013.

Sort of telling isn't it... the product hasn't even been widely released and they are doing firmware upgrades. I suspect it's been rushed out the door before testing has been completed. I did notice that there is still a message on my inReach account page (I owned the old unit and kept my account active while waiting for my pre-order), that says the contact Sync is still not working for the inReach SE. You would think they would be rushing that update out quickly before the units are widely available. With the Sync not working they will get a lot of complaints from users. They explain how to manually update your contacts on the inReach SE. Maybe guys like Fred, that have received their inReach SE's early, will have all the bugs reported well before the rest of us get the new unit. :) Keep testing Fred, and report all the bugs!

gpscity.com just released five videos showing DeLorme inReach SE functions:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c898Z9r5WAchttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITS_HFN4VL0http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX-1wtjzjrYhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My0im4YropYhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poTaCfBH20AAlso, you get about 99 characters guaranteed delivery in an SMS text message to certain cell phones, since each message starts with about 61 characters of your name and a link to your current location. Some phones truncate at 160 characters; some send two messages with the full message. The inReach SE screen indicates you have up to 160 characters, which is not always true. The entire message will show in the linked web page, but some cell phones don't have Internet access!See this thread on the DeLorme forums for details.-- RexEverybody's different, and everybody changes.
Edited by Rex on 06/02/2013 22:42:55 MDT.
I've been unable to decipher if there is a loop/hole on the inReach SE suitable for hooking it to a backpack using a carabiner. This would be useful/required if tracking is enabled. Can anyone who owns one confirm this? Thank you.
Any word on a firmware update that will allow one to view the current GPS coordinates in the field?My suspicion is that they don't want to chew into sales of their inReach model that pairs with their GPS unit.Was on a trip recently where we had a GPS geotagging digital camera, a SPOT messenger 2, and a handheld GPS. 3 GPS chips and antennas, but only one device would display coordinates to you in the field.
I don't have one, but the inReach SE should come with a lanyard and a belt clip, according to the owners manual.You can see part of the lanyard, installed, in the Panbo prototype review photos:http://www.panbo.com/archives/2013/04/inreach_se_will_the_screen_do_it.htmlYou can see the holes for the lanyard just above the USB port, with the belt clip on the back, in this GPS City video, starting about 1:15:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c898Z9r5WAcAnd you can see the inReach SE attached to packs with the belt clip in DeLorme's long commercial:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqQukvj_diI-- Rex
Edited by Rex on 06/04/2013 23:33:28 MDT.
"My suspicion is that they don't want to chew into sales of their inReach model that pairs with their GPS unit."Looks like the inReach PN-60w is going away. It's buried on the inReach web site, and it's been out of stock for a few months now.Besides, you can get most GPS functions by pairing the inReach SE or inReach Smartphone with a smart phone and DeLorme's Earthmate app.The prototype reviewed by Panbo could display track point GPS coordinates under History, maybe that's still available, the manual isn't clear.-- Rex
"When you activate your new inReach any time during June and July, you'll get your first two months free of your annual satellite subscription plan."Details here:http://www.inreachdelorme.com/summer/-- Rex
Since my backpacking is getting further and further afield (thanks to sooo much load lightening!!), and my adventures are getting more and more adventurous, I'm starting to consider one of these, especially if I do the PCT next year.Is this a device anyone would recommend yet? I'd like to get one for the JMT (to make my mom happy), and this seems to check all the boxes I want to check.I'm in no hurry, of course...I certainly CAN wait for better technology, but goodness if we always keep waiting for better technology......
Also another similar contender is the Spot Gen3 which is only 3.2 oz (compared to the 6.7 oz. inReach SE). It depends on what your requirements are. If you only need tracking for people back home, plus an OK message and SOS capability, the Spot may suffice. inReach SE adds two-way communication and mapping when paired to a smartphone, which may be useful, but double the weight.
My long-standing rule with high-tech equipment is "don't depend on promises." I have not seen any hands-on reviews of the DeLorme inReach SE, and deliveries seem to trickling out. Based on specs only, the inReach SE might be the best device of it's type. Other types include SPOT devices, satellite phones, and other two-way satellite texting devices.If you are not in a hurry to buy something, wait a while to see some reviews. Or buy from a dealer with good return policies.-- Rex
IF you are carrying a smart phone anyway, you could get the original Inreach for cheaper and it works very well and you don't have to wait to buy one. Waiting for the new device to be released has been a real pain, I was out on a trip on the weekend and we wanted to contact somebody back home (to change our itinerary) but we were off the grid and we had no satellite communication device to use... I guess I shouldn't have sold my original inReach until I received the new one (but thought it would be easier to sell "before" the new gadgets was widely released).I've owned both the Spot Connect (one way messenger) and the inReach (original) that needed a smart phone. I'm on the wait list for the inReach SE but my supplier is saying it will be the end of June before I get one. My inReach worked way better than the Spot Connect IME and was worth the extra cost that you pay for the inReach plans.I would have kept the original inReach if I always took a smart phone with me but since the only reason I took the smart phone was to use the inReach, the new inReach SE makes more sense for me to own (I don't want my phone with me). I did like replaceable batteries though, so the old inReach wins in that department.The Spot Connect just didn't work well enough for me, so no point in carrying that device (others seem to think it's OK).
So says DeLorme:http://www.inreachdelorme.com/product-info/inreachse.phpI asked REI how's it going today. They said they have yet to receive their first SE, but expect bushels of them any day now.How long can we keep our interest up? The whole SE thing may be just a tease.And, why no reviews yet? (The one customer review on Amazon hardly counts. We need reviews from competent users.) Fred, how about it?
Maybe the dam has broken. REI shipped my SE last night. I am eager to test it and will report the results to BPL "real soon now".
This guy at http://advrider.com/forums/showpost.php?p=21624908&postcount=15obtained an SE, got it up and running without apparent trouble, and likes its tracking while motorcycling in heavily wooded areas. He found BT pairing to iOS devices easy, and he likes the topo map application. Sadly, he is silent on sending and receiving messages. And the big question of whether the current coords are shown on the SE's display remains unanswered. We care about this for using the SE alone with paper maps. When paired with a BT display device no big deal, since the current coords will be displayed there.After the guy who got totally wedged for a weekend just registering the device (in the single Amazon review), this is encouraging.I promise to do better. (delivery tomorrow!)
Nice to hear some positive feedback. To-date, the only other user review of the inReach SE is here: (half way down the page)Not such a glowing report.I look forward to seeing your review!

Another review posted on Amazon today:http://www.amazon.com/DeLorme-AG-009871-201-inReach-Satellite-Communicator/product-reviews/B00BX7TJ2O/-- Rex
I just posted the first installment of my SE reviewhttp://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/reviews/display_reviews.html?bo=watch&forum_thread_id=78521I wasn't sure whether to put it in the safety equipment or GPS category. Went with GPS. Sue me.CORRECTION: it's in survival gear. Don't sue me.The review is meant to be ongoing as I get further and further into the use of the SE. So far, so good. I rated it as a four since I've had no significant problems, but I don't know it well enough to give it a better rating. Cold weather performance can't be evaluated for a while -- not in these latitudes, anyway.
Edited by JimSubzero on 06/16/2013 08:16:44 MDT.
First look at this... The USB port on the side connects to the included cable very loosely. Would normally make me nervous that it is perhaps not getting quality charge time. However, check out this charging screen they have built. Very handy!
Jim,Thanks for posting your ongoing review.Early reviewers describe serious problems with firmware updates and/or customer service. Do you have any experience with that?-- Rex
