TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a certain portion of state route 15A the "Lima Veterans Memorial Highway"
PURPOSE: This bill would designate a portion of State Route 15A, running within the boundaries of the town of Lima in Livingston County as the "Lima Veterans Memorial Highway".
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1. The highway law is amended by adding a new section 342-xx that designates the portion of state route 15a that runs through the boundaries of the Town of Lima as the "Lima Veterans Memorial Highway".
JUSTIFICATION: The Town of Lima has a rich history of its residents serving the United States in all of our nation's armed conflicts - at home or abroad. Originally founded by Revolutionary War veterans, Lima's residents bear a proud tradition of having participated in everyone of our nation's major wars, from the town's Revolutionary War inception to the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. This legislation is a tribute to their invaluable contribution to these past and current struggles, and a way of expressing a special thanks for their selfless courage and unfailing martial spirit.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately.

Project due date
Is there a way to put a due date on an entire project? I want to keep track of when final products are due. It seems like something that should be easy or obvious--am I missing something?
All responses
Hello Addie,
It's not possible to add a due date to a project that would work as due dates in tasks, however you can always just type: 7/25 or "20 Jul" or whatever date you like within the name of the project for reference.
Best regards,
I could, but I'd really like to be able to filter my list of projects by date. For example, just seeing things that are due this week, or in the next few days. Adding the date to the title doesn't really accomplish that. Also, many of my projects don't have tasks, so I can't even put a due date in that field to get a filter to work.
A project due date seems like a really simple (and very useful) feature. Any reason why it's not available?
Hi Addle,
There hasn't been a real request for this type of feature, but feel free to add it to our votebox and it could be added in the near future :)
Please note that projects in Todoist are treated as "folders" for tasks. If you have projects that don't have tasks then please reconsider your task management - you could maybe try to move everything one step "down", that is - instead of empty projects, create simple tasks in a more general project and projects that have few tasks could also be there and have sub-tasks instead.
Best regards,
I get what you're suggesting, but that would make Todoist not really work for me. Partly what I'm doing with the empty projects is managing the workflow of my team (and myself). Just because I don't have any tasks associated with a particular project (that someone else is actually doing) doesn't mean it's any less of a top level project. And I want to be able to sort and filter by all projects.
If you use projects as placeholders for tasks you delegate to someone, the best way would be to simply create a project called "Delegations" and add these tasks ... as tasks with a due date and maybe even a label suggesting whom you've delegated it to (for example - @John or @Mary etc.).
If you don't want to complete these task, you can delete them and you can use the asterisk * in front of their names so that they won't have a check box. It's a much more efficient way, you'd be able to search for all tasks delegated to a specific person thanks to the labels, see who has what tasks assigned to them, see how many, follow deadlines etc.
Also, if you're often work in a team, please try https://wedoist.com - our team-based project management tool.
Best regards,
How do I create a subtask?
Yeah, I was looking for something outside of the "Edit task" interface, once I edited the task, I found it. Thanks!
I would very much like to see due dates for projects included here as well. I work as a journalist and often have a 1-2 week turnaround on articles I'm writing. I set up a new project for each article and input all the steps to complete the article within that proejct.
It would be nice to have a "master" due date for a given project that all of the tasks within that project would inherit as their latest possible due date, while still allowing me to manually set an earlier due date on a per task basis.
As it is now, I end up manually recreating a top-level task within each project so that it looks like this:
Project: "Article X"
-Task Level 0: "Write Article X by due date"
--Task Level 1 and below: All sub-tasks needed to complete article.
It would be much more straightforward if my top level task and my project could just be combined.
(While on this topic, it would also be great if notes could be added to projects rather than just to tasks. In other words, Todoist could benefit from giving projects a little of the functionality reserved for tasks right now. Not all of us use projects as categories like you propose -- many of us are GTDers and have projects that we begin and end regularly.)
ATM those in todoist aren't real projects, just folders and subfolders.
I'd like to see due dates and labels for projects as well.
This way we could "categorize" projects keeping a comprehensive way of listing all projects without much fragmentation
+1 to what Luca said and for finding a way to say it much more concisely than I did.
I also think it should be possible to have a due date for a project. If you can only use projects as folders for categorization, they function more as 'Areas of focus'. Areas of focus are never completed (like Acquisition, Finances, Personal Health, Family) Projects are (write article about X, publish january newsletter, buy new car). A project is a series of actions that lead to a final outcome. Often (not always), this final outcome should be reached at a certain date. Therefore you should be able to assign a due date to a project.
In fact this is the way I'm using those. As Areas of focus: home managing, Business development, Personal development, University projects, etc..
Using projects as areas of focus would be overwhelming for me. I'd have far too many unrelated tasks in one "project." Todoist really should offer this simple functionality to projects:
-Allow projects to have due dates (which all tasks would inherit, ideally)
-Allow projects to have notes
-Allow projects to be more easily archived/completed
I would like to echo the request to be able to assign due dates to projects. From this thread it seems like a feature that users would like to have. Please consider adding.
+1 for me
Not being able to assign a due date to a project seems like a huge oversight to me. Please add this functionality
Agreeing with everyone above, due dates and notes for project would be very useful, essential, I think.
+1 Thats one of the things about Todost tha bothers me the most.
For example i want to keep track of my examdates in todoist, but the whole examprep for one class is the project. If i could set the examdate es duedate for the classproject it would be a whole lot better.
This is a needed feature. Along with defer tasks.
+1 Having a due date to project, and profit from everything how "due date" works should be the basics think. Every project starts with "hey, it has to be done asap, but cause I'm a good guy, the deadline is in the end of this week" :). So please, consider to add this feature. Thank you very much.

© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
My husband Kevin preached at our church service this past Sunday while our pastor, Pastor Charles, and his family were out of town.
I, of course, was the proud little wife sitting on the fourth row listening to him and just so excited that I married a man who loves to talk about Jesus.
Kevin did a great job; he had some jokes and even a couple of visual aids to assist his sermon. He also gave us all some great main points. But there was one thing he said that really stuck out in my mind.
He reminded all of us to go back and check what he was saying, and not to always take what we hear and go with it. He encouraged us to study the word, read it for ourselves and study it.
I think too often all of us just take what people say and go with it. But you know when something doesn't sit right with your spirit, you usually go back and search for peace in your heart.
Everyone of us needs to be deep in the word of God. God didn't just give Bibles to our pastors and preachers and teachers. The Bible is there for all of us to study and gain the knowledge of the one who came to seek and save the lost.
Kevin said something else Sunday morning. He said that the Bible is a collection of love letters from God. And he is right.
I have to say, as I sat there I felt ashamed of myself, because I know that anytime Kevin leaves me a sweet little note I just can't wait to read it. I'll read that note over and over and over. Yet there have been times I've only picked up my Bible on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. Shame on me.
I was also reminded of hearing about missionaries who have gone to foreign countries and seen people in those countries walk miles and miles just to get one page of the Bible. One page. And yet I have three or four Bibles and a version on my phone and I still take it for granted everyday.
I do read some scriptures every morning, but it still isn't enough.
Even as I say "shame on me," I am reminded that He loves me still. He knows my heart and He still encourages me to read His love letters.
What an awesome God we serve. Despite how many times we miss opportunities to learn more about Him, He is still there for us.

Comments about Aquarian Response 2 Drumhead:
Amazing!! These heads are an all-around general purpose two-ply head and they sound GREAT!!
I have the clear ones on the batter side of my yamaha stage custom birch toms and the coated on my snare and I couldn't be happier...
These heads are the same two plies of 7 mil mylar as the Performance II's but have a much more "responsive" tone quality which gives them a nice warm wide open sound and the thicker construction lends itself to a much more durable drumhead so they take the rigors of the gigging drummer night after night...
Comments about Aquarian Response 2 Drumhead:
I received these heads (12, 13, and 16 inch) in the mail today, and put them on my toms. I couldn't have been happier with the 12 in. It sounds great! But as i played the larger heads, their ring was more pronounced and sustained more. I put a dampening pad on the 16 in. The coated version of these heads might reduce that. The heads also show discoloration from virtually every hit. Again, the coated version might be a better choice. Still, I would highly recommend these heads to anyone looking for a versatile drum head.

Chelsea Clinton Makes Her Debut as an NBC Special Correspondent (VIDEO)
So, how did she do? Pretty well, as it turned out. Chatting to Williams she was poised and confident, with perhaps just a hint of nerves underlying her banter.
Clinton's report featured the work of Annette Dove, who helps underprivileged children in Pine Bluff, Ark. With food, shelter and tutoring, Dove provides a safety net for some of the most vulnerable members of the community.
Check out Clinton's debut after the jump. And listen closely: When she said, "Thank you Brian, I'm very happy to be here," did somebody in the studio clap?
Chelsea Clinton Joins NBC News
Clinton has joined NBC News as a full-time special correspondent. She'll start work immediately.
Her first assignments will be part of Brian Williams' 'Rock Center' and 'NBC Nightly News' series "Making a Difference."
"People who imagine and implement solutions to challenges in their own lives, in their communities, in our country and in our world have always inspired me," Clinton said in a statement. "I hope telling stories through 'Making a Difference' -- as in my academic work and non-profit work -- will help me to live my grandmother's adage of 'Life is not about what happens to you, but about what you do with what happens to you.'"
Bill Clinton on Losing Weight, Becoming a "Medical Experiment" -- Plus, a Dancing Dog! (VIDEO)
Since this operation in 2004, Clinton has become much healthier, and has tamed his love for fast food, meaning that clips like this one are no longer strictly accurate. (Although we're still big fans of the late, great Phil Hartman's Clinton impersonation.) Bill told Letterman that he now weighs the same amount that he did in high school. "You look fantastic," Dave said.
Bill Clinton: Chelsea's Multi-Million Dollar Wedding Was My "Economic Stimulus" (VIDEO)
Pres. Clinton called the ceremony his "contribution to the economic stimulus," adding that he was surprised "the unemployment rate didn't drop" after the marriage took place. On a more serious note, the former President said the wedding was a major passage in his life, and that it made him feel like Chelsea was fully grown up.
Top TV Stories of 2008: The election - VIDEOS
What was the top TV story of the year? The choice was obvious to all of us, and probably all of you, too: The election. The 2008 race for the White House was not only historic, it was dramatic and played out more on TV with recognizable star personas than any election in recent memory.
And like a great TV show, it was a season-long run of highs and lows, tension and release, defeat and victory. Along the way, Americans made a choice about who will run the country for the next four years, but they were also entertained by a near constant barrage of media coverage in the form of maximum cable news, thousands of commercials, daily political commentary both serious and comic, a plethora of debates, and -- naturally -- Saturday Night Live's take on it all.
It all started about a year ago in the cold of Iowa and New Hampshire...
CBS owes an apology for Big Brother faux pas
According to CBS's Big Brother web site, Adam is a public relations manager for an unnamed foundation. The 29-year-old is from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, but is now living in Delray Beach, Florida.
Fox News, CNN defend MSNBC's Shuster - VIDEO
We told you about David Shuster being suspended from MSNBC (he returns next week) for saying that it seems like Chelsea Clinton is being "pimped out" because she's making phone calls and appearances on her mother's behalf. Now the network's rivals are saying they're on Shuster's side.
I have to say I agree that Shuster's suspension was silly. The guy apologized (twice, at least, and so did the execs at MSNBC) so it should have stayed at that. Was the remark inappropriate? Probably, but not because it's "offensive." It was inappropriate because it didn't make any sense. Maybe if Chelsea Clinton was still 11 years old there could be a case made that she was being used by a campaign, but she's a grown woman who was just working as any grown woman works in the campaign. Would Shuster have said this about another woman in Hillary's camp? I doubt it. Check out what CNN has to say here, and what Fox News has to say after the jump.
Hillary Clinton as Carmela Soprano? - VIDEO
Several weeks ago, Senator Hillary Clinton asked the public to help her come up with a theme song for her presidential campaign. And then The Sopranos ended its historic run. And it was too much of a good opportunity to pass up.
So Hillary and hubby Bill made a video for her web site discussing what song the Senator had selected. Only the video is a parody of the Sopranos' last scene in the diner, with Hillary as Carmela, Bill as Tony, Chelsea as the parallel parking Meadow, a bowl of carrot sticks substituting for onion rings (Bill's got heart problems) and an abrupt cut-to-black.
See the video after the jump. (And if you have a burning desire to find out what campaign song Clinton chose, you can go here.)

LT's Midnight Dream Lyrics
Artist: Steve Miller
Album: Brave New World
I've been in one place too long
With my roots in solid air
And I'm gone, gone
Solid gone
I'm dreamin' 'bout a bulldog
And I'm too far gone to care
And I'm gone, gone
Solid gone
Got a bulldog in my leer jet
Gonna teach him how to fly
By myself, gone
Solid gone, solid
If I live to be 500
I'd die tomorrow night
By myself, gone
Solid gone
If there's one thing I can't stand
It's to be misunderstood
By myself, gone
Yes I'm gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, solid gone

Sci-Fi Recommendations
Anyway, I am mentioning Escape Pod not just to go all fangirl on it, but to draw attention to the story Friction, by Will McIntosh, which aired February 8, 2008. It's a fairly simple story, with few characters and (seemingly) simple settings, but everything about it just fits together brilliantly and the overall effect is (at least for me) difficult to put into words.
It doesn't exactly correlate with any of the things I usually blog about here, and in some respects it's a bit of a mournful tale, but it's also quite hauntingly beautiful. I don't take life for granted to begin with, but this story made me feel even more the fierce awe of conscious existence. It might not be to everyone's taste but I liked it a lot, and figured I'd point it out.
Other Escape Pod stories I've quite enjoyed (stories quite different in style from Friction, and from each other, for that matter) include:
- Start the Clock, by Benjamin Rosenbaum
- Impossible Dreams, by Tim Pratt
- Anyone Can Whistle, by David Walton
- Save Me Plz, by David Barr Kirtley

For those who like to read in french:
"La Tondeuse du général de Gaulle",
a funny novel about the return to youth.
You can find the book on amazon.fr

Hi Anne,
Thanks for letting us know about the story. I also liked it very much. I don't know why but it strongly reminded me of how I felt after seeing Hiroshi Teshigahara's 1964 film "Woman in the Dunes". If you were moved by this story, I highly recommend that you seek out this film. Trust me, it will be worth it. Try not to find out too much about the film before you watch it.
- Benjamin Rosenbaum said...
Thanks for the kind words about "Start the Clock"!
Sanjay, I haven't seen the film, but I assume it's an adaptation of the Kobo Abe novel of the same name? I think Kobo Abe is greatly underappreciated...
- AnneC said...
Sanjay: Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have to look that one up.

Benjamin Rosenbaum: You're welcome.
I've got something of a special interest in stories that involve people and situations that challenge norms and assumptions.
I especially liked how the "kids" in the story (at least the Eights and Nines) were presented as being very adult intellectually, but more kid-like in their emotional responses -- you managed to do it in a manner that somehow avoided "creepiness".
It seemed like the kids in the story were (possibly owing to their numbers) relatively well-respected and not heavily infantilized by those around them; they were just small and liked living in houses shaped like giant pirate ships, and that was just sort of the way things were.
And...I also found it interesting thinking about the whole "virus" angle (or at least I think it was a virus, it's been a while since I listened).
It was obvious that the people who got physically stuck at whatever age they were during the CDAS outbreak weren't "sick" or "suffering" for the mere fact of being set in a particular physical-developmental configuration, so I didn't really perceive the situation as being dire.
In my opinion, just because something occurs due to a viral vector doesn't necessarily make it "bad by definition". It seemed like the "kids" effectively became something like a different species, albeit with the ability to leave that species via chemical modification if they so desired to.
The way I see it, stuff happens in life and regardless of how a person starts out, there are a number of mutually exclusive yet equally full, valid and satisfying paths they might take in life. In the context of the story, I don't think anyone could have made an airtight case for, say, insisting that all the kids "start their clocks" out of some conviction that somehow they'd "miss out" otherwise. Sure, they'd miss out on *some* things, but they'd also miss out on other things by starting their clocks. I liked how different characters in the story made different choices in this regard -- that aspect of it made it pretty clear that individuals are always going to have different ideas as to what they value most, and that they will act accordingly.
Of course, it would have been a very different situation if a large government body or corporation was purposely trying to "stall" different percentages of the population at particular physical ages, for the sake of some top-down social or economic engineering program. I think the story was very well served by *not* having that angle -- the "impersonal" origins of the CDAS made it more possible to look at the resultant society on its own terms rather than purely as some aberrant version of real-life culture.
So, yeah, "Start The Clock" is definitely a favorite. Thank you for writing it!
- Benjamin Rosenbaum said...
Thanks for that excellent and engaged reading of "Start the Clock".
I will say that the tendency of older cohorts not to infantilize the Eights and Nines SO much (they still do some, as is evident in Suze's conflict with the real estate lady, and it grates) is due not only to their numbers, but also to
1) their having become quite successful -- while Teenagers have become an underclass, Eights, Nines, and Tens actually out-earn older people as they have intense competitiveness and focus, highly flexible minds, and none of those messy post-pubertal distractions; and since they live in packs, they have even greater relative purchasing power, like DINKs (double-income-no-kids) today.
and 2) a quite active political movement among the Nines -- which Suze, as a documentary filmmaker, was deeply involved in -- founded on just precisely the ideology you've articulated, or if anything a more radical version (which saw CDAS as a liberation).
I love the idea of CDAS, it actually wasn't mine -- the name is my coinage, but the idea of an age-arresting virus comes from Diana Sherman's play "Summer Children"... both her play and "Start the Clock" were written for the Exquisite Corpuscle anthology, which worked kind of like a game of telephone -- my assignment was to write a story reacting to her play.
Anyway, very glad you liked it.
- Xuenay said...
Do they have transcripts? I couldn't find them with a brief looking-around, but then I didn't look very closely. Start the Clock sounds like something I'd enjoy, but I rarely have the patience for listening a story when I could read it in a much shorter time.
365 tomorrows is another site providing regular sci-fi short stories, though the quality varies a lot. (But hey, they have published three of my pieces - two that I'm pretty happy with, and one that I thought was a bit mediocre.)
- Benjamin Rosenbaum said...
xuenay, you can find the text of "Start the Clock" online at http://www.benjaminrosenbaum.com/stories/start.the.clock.html (see also here for various others).
- codeman38 said...
I'm in the same metaphorical boat as xuenay... as much as I'd like to listen to some of the stories on Escape Pod, my auditory attention is way too spacey to actually handle it. -_-
- AnneC said...
I'm much more text-oriented myself and generally prefer to read as opposed to listen. I'm a far better reader than I am a listener -- I have taken to turning the subtitles on if DVDs I watch offer them, even if the audio is in English, because I end up "getting" so much more of the dialogue and plot that way. I'm especially pleased that the Farscape DVDs I've been watching are subtitled, because Farscape has a lot of "background noise" that makes for great sci-fi atmosphere but really poor auditory coherence.
However, there are contexts in which reading simply doesn't work (e.g., when I'm washing dishes or cleaning the fish tank or walking to the store). In those cases it's nice to have a story to listen to.
Sometimes I even find that I'm more motivated to do "annoying" tasks when I have the ipod loaded up with something interesting, though I do have to be careful I don't "zone out" too much and start dropping plates or something.
And because I'm just listening for myself and not for a class or something work-related, I can back up if I miss something or listen to the same story as many times as I want. Usually I don't "get" everything the first time through.

Davao's 'hipon'; Sharon being fat-A A +A
News Sense
Wednesday, August 20, 2014
TWO words used by celebrities have lately spiced public conversation.
Comedian Ramon Bautista angered two VIPs in Davao when during a Kadayawan rave party he described people in the city as "hipon" (shrimp or prawn): "Ang daming hipon dito sa Davao."
"Hipon," they say, is idiom for attractive only from the neck down. Mayor Rodrigo Duterte's children -- Vice Mayor Paolo and former mayor Sara --were fuming: the joke was "disrespectful" and offensive. Bautista promptly apologized on stage but that didn't stop the City Council from declaring him "persona non grata," a symbolic sanction LGUs have borrowed from diplomats.
"Fat" is politically incorrect. You bully obese kids in grade school but you don't tell a grown woman fat, not in her face and not explicitly. Maybe "amply endowed." Not "healthy," which would be an insult as obesity is totally unhealthy.
Sharon Cuneta, megastar to her publicists, apologized on Facebook for having let her TV-movie fans down. "I let myself go," she wrote, "I allowed myself to get fat and stay fat."
Bautista's run-in with the Dutertes recalls entertainer Rico J. Puno's boorish joke at a shipping company's party in Cebu against a high public official. Like Puno, Bautista crossed boundaries under the license of entertainment.
It was Sharon who said the "F" word; she should be angry only at herself. Her fault though went beyond piling up pounds as she let time "pass her by."
Sharon inflicted herself on her fans.
The least she could've done when she, er, ballooned was not to be seen by them.

Miele Microwave troubleshooting
A number of issues can arise with a microwave, and signal the imminent failure of the appliance. Despite of the great appliance quality, Miele microwave may break down or get damaged due to some external or internal factors. Let's see how you can identify whether your Miele microwave has troubles.
- In case your microwave does not heat the food or it's getting slightly heated, than it is the screaming sign of something is wrong. The probable reason of it could be a failing magnetron, which is a tube in the nucleus of the microwave high-voltage system.
- If your Miele microwave is making strange buzzing sounds, than you may have power diodes issues.
- If your microwave shakes and vibrates actively, or you have noticed the flashes of light, you should unplug it and immediately call on 800-520-7059 for the Miele Appliance Repair.
- If you smell the air around your microwave during the use and it does not come from food items, then your microwave may have some electrical problems.
In case you have one of these above mentioned problems than do not attempt to troubleshoot the microwave parts by yourself and call for Miele Repair professionals who knows how to handle any type of the appliance problem. There is no sense to take such a risk for your health, in order to save up the money on your budget. Miele microwave repair specialists have adequate prices basing on your appliance issue.
How should I maintain Miele Microwave?
If you invest in Miele appliances, a thorough care needs to be done. We know how busy you are with your daily chores, and you simply may not have time for it. However, cleaning a microwave is not a hard process, and it may take you only half an hour or even less to make it shine bright like a diamond.
Furthermore, if you don't like the damaging chemicals inside of the cleaning detergents, you can freely apply the natural based products that will clean event he dirtiest microwave. All you will need is:
- Essential oils
- Hot water
- Vinegar or baking soda
By means of these simple ingredients, you can create the powerful cleaning solution and easily remove the caked-on food, hard stains and dirt. Going natural is easy and pure!
So, what you need to do is…
- Fill a small glass with hot water adding a couple of lemon essential drops oil and 1 table spoon of vinegar. Stir all of these components thoroughly.
- Place this glass into the microwave and set the power high. Heat the water for 3 minutes and allow the steam to build inside the microwave. This steam will help you to penetrate caked food stains that will be a lot easier to remove afterwards. Be careful when removing he cup as may get very hot.
- Next, put a few teaspoons of baking soda around the inside of the microwave and dip the sponge into the hot water. Scrub gently the baking soda with the wet sponge. This great solution will easily clean the softened food form the microwave's inside.
- If you still have some tough cooked-on stains, than add a borax teaspoon that will 100% remove all of the bothering stains.
- If you don't have the lemon essentials at home than you can freely use the real lemon juice instead. It will not only help to clean your microwave, but also leave the fresh and nice smell in the microwave. The only cons lemon juice has, is that it will not provide your microwave with an anti-bacterial affect, like lemon essential oil would. Also, avoid using a metal scouring pad during the cleaning that may cause a serious damage to your microwave.
That's it! As you can easy, it is very easy to keep your Miele microwave clean, and you don't have to waste money for the expensive cleaners.

Looking at a rebuilt Steinway? Read this.
Looking at a Rebuilt Steinway?
Read this…
Recently, we worked with a customer on the purchase of a new Steinway piano. This customer had purchased a "rebuilt" Steinway and got a great "deal." Unfortunately the customer was taken advantage of by the rebuilder who was out of the area. The customer purchased a rebuilt Steinway & Sons Model A (6'2″). The rebuilder said the piano had Steinway parts and was at Steinway specifications and was "like new." The customer told me, "I was lead to believe It was in perfect condition and the price was unbelievable, so I bought it." After the piano was delivered the customer noticed the piano wasn't playing the way they wanted so they called an independent technician not employed by our store. The technician inspected the piano and told the customer it was not worth the money to invest in this piano to have him go through it. There was simply too much wrong and it would be cost prohibitive to get this piano back to playing properly and that he should contact us as the local dealer to work with them on a new instrument. We then worked with the customer and found the appropriate instrument for the customer and they are now very happy. Unfortunately this happens many times in our industry. Some technicians/rebuilders take advantage of a customers lack of understanding and knowledge. The technician seems to be the expert because they rebuild pianos. They should be, however unfortunately many use their knowledge to take advantage of the average customer. If it seems too good to be true…it probably is. If you're looking at a rebuilt Steinway be sure that the piano has certified Steinway parts and built by a qualified Steinway trained technician. You should be able to see this certificate in order to know for certain the parts they use are genuine Steinway parts so that the piano is a STEINWAY and not a "STEINWAS." Your local Steinway dealer can also help you find out if the technician you are using is Steinway trained by communicating with the appropriate department at the Steinway Factory in New York.
If you are wanting an authentically rebuilt Steinway you should see your local Steinway dealer. They will be able to help you weed through the minutia of pianos to be sure you are getting what you're paying for and getting the best value for your budget. You can also read more about used Steinway pianos and what to look for by visiting http://www.usedsteinwaypiano.com/

The Sterling Steinway Edition
When Steinway & Sons was founded in 1853, the standard hardware found on pianos was nickel — a trend that continued through the 1920s. In 1928, following design trends of the day, the hardware on the Steinway pianos was switched to brass, which has been the standard since. Now, Steinway & Sons offers a piano style that is both modern and throw-back–the Sterling Steinway. Featuring beautiful nickel hardware and a silver cast-iron plate, as well as a high-polish polyester finish, these stylish pianos combine the ultimate in modern design with the unmistakable Steinway Sound. Come in to the store to see, touch, and hear these exquisite works for art.Tweet

A Conversation with John Paulson
On the eve of the closing on the purchase of Steinway Musical Instruments by Paulson & Company, Ben Niles, producer of the award-winning documentary about Steinway & Sons, "Note By Note: The Making of Steinway L1037," sat down with John Paulson, founder of the investment management firm Paulson & Co.
Their short discussion allowed John to share some of his thoughts regarding Steinway Musical Instruments, the reasons he purchased the company and his plans for its future. He also provided assurances regarding the continuity of the quality that Steinway is world-renowned for, and that the world's finest pianos would continue to be handcrafted in its Queens, New York and Hamburg, Germany factories.Tweet

To the employees, dealers and partners of Steinway & Sons:
On behalf of Paulson & Co., I would like to introduce our firm and share our enthusiasm for our pending acquisition of Steinway Musical Instruments. We are excited to participate in the future of Steinway & Sons, renowned for producing the finest quality pianos in the world.
Paulson & Co. is an investment firm that manages approximately US$18 billion in assets and has offices in New York, London, and Hong Kong. Our investment team has experience in a variety of industries, including several relevant to Steinway: media and entertainment, consumer products, and retailing. We have successfully invested in both public and private companies that have executed global growth strategies centered around remarkable brands.
We are delighted to have the opportunity to invest in a business with the tradition for
excellence that Steinway enjoys. We will proudly support the company's legacy as the
premier global piano manufacturer, a reputation earned with an uncompromising commitment to quality appreciated by the world's most demanding pianists. Personally, I am the owner of three Steinway grand pianos ─ models M, O and B ─ and intend to add a fourth, a model B incorporating a factory-installed player piano system.
We intend to champion each of the attributes that make Steinway a unique company: its highly trained and skilled employees, perfected manufacturing processes, unwavering commitment to quality, revered global brand name, and dedication to partners, customers, artists and music lovers.
Paulson does not plan to close, relocate, or change any of the company's manufacturing operations. We fully endorse management's current strategy to grow in the company's traditional markets as well as underpenetrated markets in Asia, Eastern Europe and South America.

Asking Earth
Step Seven of the Green Bodhisattva Path
Humbly asked Earth to remove our shortcomings.
In order to "humbly ask Earth to remove our shortcomings," we first had to admit that we actually had shortcomings. For those of us involved in ecological activism of one kind or another, this required a resolute step backwards—into our own lives and our own bodies. We'd grown used to thinking that the problem was all "out there." If only the corporations weren't so predatory, if only the government would enact and enforce environmental regulation, if only the average American were less materialistic and less wasteful—then things would get better. What a shock it was to discover that we could find no moral foothold in Ecological Recovery unless we started with ourselves.
In our first year of meeting as a group, sharing our stories of addiction to excess and the circumstances that had brought us into Ecological Recovery, we discovered that there were two broad groups of environmentally conscious individuals in the world today.
The first group was ambitious about what they could do to change policy, reduce consumption and pollution, and educate the public about what needed to happen regarding climate change, environmental regulation, and so forth. This group was reasonably well-informed about the issues (or at least about the ones they had chosen to address) and included among its numbers many well-known authors, filmmakers, and activists. Bold as they were, however, members of this group tended to shy away from the starkest, most unforgiving numbers about species extinction, resource depletion, and the accelerating timetable for global warming. They would quote such figures for their shock value, or sometimes to make a point, but they couldn't metabolize them—they couldn't take them in.
We knew that members of this group hadn't taken in the full scope of the problem because they still believed there were political, social, or technological solutions to it. They tended to focus on limited pieces of the puzzle rather than looking at the whole. For instance, they would focus on reducing green house gas emissions, but wouldn't look at the industrialization of China, a virtually unstoppable force that would more than offset any reduction in CO2 that could reasonably be expected from such efforts over the next 20 to 30 years. That was only one example.
The second, much smaller group was composed almost entirely of former members of the first. They'd tell you, to a one, that the scales had fallen from their eyes. Many could say exactly where they were when this realization struck. There came a moment when they looked at society, at the world, and at themselves, and suddenly realized: This thing is going to happen. We won't stop it in time because it is not our nature to stop. Because, in fact, just the opposite is true. It is our nature to find ways of avoiding the ecological truth, even in the act of trying to do the right thing.
This group included back-to-the-land homesteaders, nature enthusiasts, and gardeners. It included a good many people who—in spite of what they knew of the state of the world and what its immediate future was likely to be—continued participating in various environmental action groups, holding their candle against the wind with pride of purpose and a kind of resigned existential peace in their souls. What they had in common was the belief that there were no practical remedies to the problem—or at least not any that people will be able to agree upon before it was too late. The worst would happen over the next century (whatever the worst turned out to be) and only then, in the midst of widespread ecological collapse, would humanity take the problem seriously, realize it had to change, and find a way to go on...or not.
And yet, as we gathered for our Ecological Recovery meetings each week, we began to realize that there was also a third group—or at least the promise of one. So far it had failed to coalesce into something as easy to recognize as the first two. If the first group was unrealistic, self-indulgent, and secretly frightened out of its wits, the second was without any real spiritual inspiration or direction, or any hope. This third group, which consisted of former members of the second, saw the future rushing toward them like the first two, but unlike the first it did not retreat into ecological busywork. And unlike the second, it did not lapse into quiet resignation or despair.
The third group welcomed whatever the future brought. The reason was simple: Its members had admitted that they were powerless over excess and, therefore, that only a Power greater than themselves could restore them to sanity. For this third group, that Higher Power was Earth.
This was the basis for Step Seven of Ecological Recovery: "Humbly asked Earth to remove our shortcomings." Those shortcomings (what we called "ecological defects of character") could only come to light once we admitted that we, personally, were addicted to ecological excess—that our culture didn't have these defects, we did. Once we had admitted that, we could ask to have those defects removed.
How would Earth remove these defects of character? This was a question we could not expect to answer on our own. We could only be ready to have them removed (Step Six), and humbly ask Earth to do so (Step Seven). But those of us who did this found that Earth could, and would, act on our behalf. How this happened was sometimes mysterious. A new, saner job opportunity would appear. Inspirations would strike out of nowhere. Environmentally high-impact products or activities that once seemed essential to our identities or our well-being suddenly seemed trite and unnecessary. A new way of life revealed itself in the living, with the planet providing the inspiration, the instruction, and the means.

Who was Sally? When I read a March 1, 1925, story in The Oklahoman, I wanted to know.
She must have been important, because the unnamed reporter checked with several prominent Oklahoma City citizens trying to find out where she was. It turns out the reporter came up with a clever story.

Recycle your waste electrical items - Don't bin it, bring it and win it
Posted: November 09, 2012|
There are still 2 months left where you can win many great prizes by recycling your small waste electrical items at Bath North East Somerset Council's Recycling Centres.
Since June residents have won digital cameras, wind-up torches, high street vouchers and an iPad. There are still many great prizes to be won. The promotion is designed to highlight the importance of recycling waste electrical items. It is in conjunction with Repic, a waste consortium and partner of the Council.
The importance of WEEE
A person living in the UK is estimated to throw away some 3 tonnes of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in their lifetime. This is waste that goes into landfill resulting in costly Landfill Tax charges for the local taxpayer and harmful carbon emissions instead of recycling the valuable metal and plastics.
Councillor David Dixon (Lib-Dem, Oldfield), Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods, said, "It is really important that local people think about how to dispose of their waste electrical items responsibly and avoid putting them into the general rubbish for landfill. Bath & North East Somerset Council provides facilities at each of our Recycling Centres for these items and we urge people when they have a clear-out to use them."
Join the winners with a prize!
Matt MacKenzie won an iPad after emptying his flat and taking an old electric radiator and printer to the Recycling Centre in Radstock. He said, "I knew the competition was on as I had seen it advertised. I was thrilled with my prize for recycling old unwanted items. I work in IT so an iPad is ideal for me. Other people should go to their local Centre with their waste electrical items. Don't bin it. Bring it, and win it."
Remember that although the Bath Recycling Centre is temporarily closed until 3rd December, residents can bring as many household electrical items as they wish to our two other Centres in Keynsham and Midsomer Norton. They should speak with site staff to ask for scratch cards before depositing their WEEE.
Small electrical items are accepted for this competition only. They can have a plug, need batteries or charging, or have the crossed out wheelie bin logo.
Find out more
Residents can find out more about WEEE at www.bathnes.gov.uk/wasteservices or contact Council Connect via firstname.lastname@example.com or Text SMS 07797 806545 or call 01225 39 40 41.

Tribal Chairman Confident in Reaching Casino Deal
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The Menominee Nation's chairman says he's confidant the tribe can craft an agreement on their proposed casino in Kenosha that Gov. Scott Walker would approve.
Craig Corn told the Kenosha News http://bit.ly/16dgL0M after Walker met with him as well as Potawatomi, Oneida and Ho-Chunk leaders Wednesday that the Menominee can come up with some way to offset those tribes' potential revenue losses.
Corn says the governor said he wants the tribe to address those concerns. He says he'll respond by next week.
Walker has said he won't approve the casino unless the community supports it, it doesn't result in any net increase in gambling and the state's 10 other tribes approve it. The Ho-Chunk and the Potawatomi oppose the project.
A Walker spokesman didn't immediately return a message Thursday.

The following shows have received ratings of at least four stars from Times readers.BROADWAY OFF BROADWAY
The young playwright Delaney Britt Brewer has created an intricately woven, emotionally chilly drama about the pain of approaching 30 in New York. Her characters are arch and full of regret and unearned angst. The dialogue is occasionally funny, but more interesting than its satire is the play's clever formal style that breaks up the story into three parts that echo off one another. It's a puzzle of a piece, and when her characters start coming up to the level of her formal craft, Ms. Brewer will be a player to watch. -- Jason Zinoman

LUCKNOW: Police early on Monday morning arrested three robbers of a dreaded gang from Haryana and recover the booty they had decamped with after robbing two assistant commandants of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and their friends.
Reports said the incident took place in the early hours of Monday, when Narendra Singh, a resident of ITI Crossing in Mathura, who is an assistant commandant with the CRPF, was on his way home after attending the passing out parade of his friend Dharmendra at the CRPF training centre in Gurgaon held on Sunday. Apart from Narendra and Dharmendra, they were accompanied by six other common friends.
The group was moving in a Scorpio (UP76 L 2271) and had barely reached Chatta Sugar Mill on National Highway-2 on the borders of Mathura, when their vehicle was intercepted by a group of youngsters travelling in a Tata 407. As the Scorpio halted that the occupants of the Tata 407 got off, accusing them of having knocked off someone on their way and speeding away thereafter.
Barely had the occupants of the Scorpio rolled down the window panes when on the miscreants pulled out the ignition key of their vehicle. The miscreants then pulled out country made firearms and took the two assistant commandants and their friends at gun point.
They forced all the occupants of the Scorpio out except for Dharmendra and Pradeep and took away their cash and wrist watches. They then left the site driving the Scorpio along with Dharmendra and Pradeep as hostages. The miscreants stopped on Shergarh Road and let off the two hostages before escaping.
The CRPF officers immediately informed the local Chatta police about the incident, which flashed wireless messages across the district describing the incident and provided details of the Scorpio. Three of the miscreants were arrested about an hour later. They identified themselves as members of the notorious Ammu Mear gang of Haryana.
The accused told the police that Ammu was travelling with them, but had disembarked the Scorpio on the highway itself.
Police recovered the robbed Scorpio, three laptops of the victims, which were kept in the vehicle along with the cash that they had robbed.
Police also recovered the Tata 407 which the miscreants had used to commit the crime. A case has been lodged with the Chhata police in connection with the robbery and the subsequent arrest of the criminals in the case.

Don't Buy It: The Trouble with Talking Nonsense about the Economyby Anat Shenker-Osorio
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Anat Shenker-Osorio has spent her career exploring the range of ways people understand complex political issues and she's seen one thing over and again: when were using the wrong metaphor, were sending the wrong message. In this book she focuses that argument on the wrong headed and destructive way we talk about the economy in the United States. Relying heavily on language such as unhealthy," suffering," recovery bill," we continually convey that the economy is something natural, like a body, the tides, or the weather. It is how it is — like the barometric pressure, unemployment can be expected to rise" and fall." In fact, we've bought the idea that we must work without complaint and Keep the Economy Happy!"
Shenker-Osorio shows that this wrong headed way of conceptualizing the economy has a real effect on the way people engage with money, and it has lead to a great deal of hardship. The solution therefore is that by consciously shifting the ways we talk about the economy we can radically alter how we react to and thus make rules and decisions. By speaking, accurately, of the economy as a man-made system requiring continuous man made control we undo the damaging notion that the market is its own best control. By speaking, forcefully, of the economy as part of the pursuit for security and prosperity we can impose regulation and control to achieve certain means. Economic reform is going to require transparency and understanding in our conversation. This book tells us how.
"Strategic communications consultant Shenker-Osoria's first book considers the word 'economy' and the metaphors we use to illustrate it. Conservatives, for instance, view the economy as a 'moral enforcer': 'the individual is clearly to blame for what befalls her.' Other people will allude to it in terms of health, water, or motion (think of sick economies, trickle-down theory and downward spiral). The author has very good points about how conservatives and progressives present their plans, and lack thereof, to deal with the present crisis. We should not speak in abstractions such as 'costs grew' and 'paychecks shrank.' Rather, Shenker-Osoria exhorts, we should speak of CEOs, conservative politicians and lobbyists attacking labor unions and suppressing wages; we should talk less about hurting the economy and more about how the economy might hurt people. Without doubt, this book is written from the liberal or progressive viewpoint (though liberals economists like Paul Krugman take their knocks) and, while Shenker-Osorio is not an economist, her view of the rhetoric we suffer through is sharp and to the point in saying that we need to define what the economy is, how it works and what it can do for us. If someone can deliver that, we might have a solution — that is, if anyone will listen. Agent: Max Brockman, Brockman Inc. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"A persuasive case for retooling how activists think and talk about matters of the wallet." Kirkus
This concise, entertaining book shows us how wrong-headed metaphors and deceptive language have muddled our economic thinking, and how better word choice alone can win the debate.
Today the term "dismal science" seems almost too kind: too many of today's economic arguments deserve the mantle of mysticism. In the name of appeasing our fickle economy, politicians have slashed services, laid off public workers, and threatened the future of the social safety net. And yet all of these "sacrifices" only make matters worse.
In Don't Buy It, political communications expert Anat Shenker-Osorio shows how wrong-headed ways of conceptualizing the economy have led to bad decisions and worse policies. When we call the economy "unhealthy" or "recovering," we give it the status of a living being. Americans must submit to any indignity required to "keep the economy happy." Tread lightly, we can't risk irritating the economy!
Don't Buy It cuts through misinformation and skewers the economic nonsense we hear every day. In the end, it convincingly demonstrates that radically altering our politics and policies for the better is a matter of changing the conversation — literally.
After everything thats happened, how is it possible that conservatives still win debates about the economy? Time and again the right wins over voters by claiming that their solutions are only common sense, even as their tired policies of budgetary sacrifice and corporate plunder both create and prolong economic disaster. Why does the electorate keep buying what theyre selling? According to political communications expert Anat Shenker-Osorio, its all about language—and not just theirs, but ours.
In Dont Buy It Shenker-Osorio diagnoses our economic discourse as stricken with faulty messages, deceptive personification, and, worst of all, a barely coherent concept of what the economy actually is. Opening up the business section of most newspapers or flipping on cable news unleashes an onslaught of economic doomsaying that treats the economy as an ungovernable force of nature. Alternately, by calling the economy unhealthy" or recovering" as we so often do, we unconsciously give it the status of a living being. No wonder Americans become willing to submit to any indignity required to keep the economy happy. Tread lightly, we cant risk irritating the economy!
Cutting through conservative myth-making, messaging muddles, and destructive misinformation, Shenker-Osorio suggests a new way to win the most important arguments of our day. The left doesnt have to self-destruct every time matters economic come to the fore—there are metaphors and frames that can win, and Shenker-Osorio shows what they are and how to use them.
Dont Buy It is a vital handbook for seizing victory in the economic debate. In the end, it convincingly shows that radically altering our politics and policies for the better is a matter of first changing the conversation—literally.
