Fill Mead First
In 1922, the Colorado River Compact was signed by the federal government and the seven states in the Colorado Basin. The Compact allocated water rights between the states of the upper (New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado) and lower (Arizona, California, and Nevada) Colorado River Basin. This paved the way for Hoover and Glen Canyon dams, which impound Lake Mead and Lake Powell, as well as the entire Colorado River water management system.
Today, the Colorado River Basin is facing a water supply crisis. We now know that the Colorado River Compact was based on flawed projections that seriously overestimated actual future river flow and seriously underestimated future water demand. As a result, growing demand, relentless drought, and climate change are creating a water deficit of almost 1 million acre-feet a year in the Colorado River system. Both Lake Powell and Lake Mead reservoirs are half empty, and scientists predict that they will probably never fill again. The water supply of more than 22 million people in the three Lower Basin states is in jeopardy.
The region is also facing an environmental crisis. The ecological health of the Southwest is tied to the fate of the Colorado River. A century ago, the Colorado was one of the world's wildest rivers. Its extraordinary variations in water flow, temperature, and sedimentation created a unique ecosystem that was once home to 16 endemic fish species — the largest percentage of any river system in North America.
The construction of more than a dozen dams during the last century has critically damaged the integrity of the Colorado River. Hundreds of miles of canyon and countless archaeological sites have been flooded, and dozens of wildlife species have been endangered. Glen Canyon Dam is one of the largest contributors to these problems, with major impacts that stretch from above Glen Canyon, through the Grand Canyon, all the way to the Colorado Delta in Mexico. In 1992, Congress passed the Grand Canyon Protection Act, which sought to modify Glen Canyon Dam operations to "protect, mitigate adverse impacts to, and improve the values for which Grand Canyon National Park and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area were established." Unfortunately, efforts to implement the act have been only partially successful.
GCI believes the time has come to change Colorado River management to address today's new realities. This is the goal of our Fill Lake Mead First Project. Since Glen Canyon Dam was completed in 1963, the goal of water managers has been to keep both Lake Powell and Lake Mead full. Now, with two half-empty reservoirs, this policy no longer makes sense. Through our Fill Lake Mead Project, GCI is advocating a new approach that consolidates most of the water from both reservoirs in Lake Mead, with Lake Powell used as a backup in flood years.
The Fill Lake Mead First strategy would benefit the people and ecosystems of the Colorado River Basin and beyond. This approach would help to maintain a reliable water supply for millions of people who depend on Lake Mead, in major cities such as Las Vegas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and San Diego, as well as on farms across the region. It would also help to restore Colorado River ecosystems. Water would be permitted to flow more naturally through Glen Canyon Dam, helping to heal the damage done by the dam to the Grand Canyon. A lowered Lake Powell would expose many more portions of Glen Canyon that have been flooded under the reservoir, allowing them to recover their natural beauty and integrity. This would all be done without infringing on the water rights and needs of the Upper Basin states.
GCI recently completed a study that analyzed water usage under the Fill Mead First proposal. Our study, which is currently undergoing the peer review process, shows that 500,000 acre feet of water could be saved each year in the Colorado Basin if the Fill Mead First proposal were implemented. That's enough water to serve the annual needs of half of Los Angeles.
The Fill Lake Mead First Project is an expansion on an idea that has been proposed before — including by David Brower, who helped to found Glen Canyon Institute. In the past, this strategy was considered "politically unrealistic." Now, in the face of unprecedented water supply and environmental challenges, the various people and institutions involved in Colorado River water policy are increasingly open to new ideas that they never would have considered before. GCI is optimistic that this will lead to unprecedented, positive change in the next few years, for the benefit of the people and ecosystems of the Colorado River Basin.
The Fill Lake Mead First Project is still in its early stages and most of the work is behind the scenes. However, in the future, there will be important opportunities for the public to speak out. We will let our members know when these opportunities arise. Meanwhile, we will keep you up to date on our efforts to put this bold new plan into action.

Redis client for Node.js
In a nutshell
- Talk to Redis from Node.js
- Fully asynchronous; your code is called back when an operation completes
- Binary-safe; uses Node.js Buffer objects for request serialization and reply parsing
- e.g. store a PNG in Redis if you'd like
- Client API directly follows Redis' command specification
- You have to understand how Redis works and the semantics of its command set to most effectively use this client
- Supports Redis' new exciting PUBSUB commands
- Automatically reconnects to Redis (doesn't drop commands sent while waiting to reconnect either) using exponential backoff
- Be sure to see this script for a deeper discussion
When working from a git clone:
var sys = require("sys"); var client = require("../lib/redis-client").createClient(); client.info(function (err, info) { if (err) throw new Error(err); sys.puts("Redis Version is: " + info.redis_version); client.close(); });
When working with a Kiwi-based installation:
// $ kiwi install redis-client var sys = require("sys"), kiwi = require("kiwi"), client = kiwi.require("redis-client").createClient(); client.info(function (err, info) { if (err) throw new Error(err); sys.puts("Redis Version is: " + info.redis_version); client.close(); });
- Refer to the many tests in
test/test.jsfor many usage examples.
- Refer to the
examples/directory for focused examples.
This version requires at least
Node.js v0.1.90 and Redis
Tested with Node.js
v0.1.95 and
v0.1.96 and Redis
2.1.1 (the current unstable).
You have a number of choices:
- git clone this repo or download a tarball and simply copy
lib/redis-client.jsinto your project
- use git submodule
- use the Kiwi package manager for Node.js
Please let me know if the package manager "seeds" and/or metadata have issues. Installation via Kiwi or NPM at this point isn't really possible since this repo depends on a unreleased version of Node.js.
Running the tests
A good way to learn about this client is to read the test code.
To run the tests, install and run redis on the localhost on port 6379 (defaults).
Then run
node test/test.js [-v|-q] where
-v is for "verbose" and
-q is for "quiet".
$ node test/test.js .................................................................. ...........................++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [INFO] All tests have passed.
If you see something like "PSUBSCRIBE: unknown command" then it is time to upgrade your Redis installation.
There is a method per Redis command. E.g.
SETNX becomes
For example, the Redis command INCRBY
is specified as
INCRBY key integer. Also, the INCRBY spec says that the reply will
be "... the new value of key after the increment or decrement."
This translates to the following client code which increments key 'foo' by 42. If the value at key 'foo' was 0 or non-existent, 'newValue' will take value 42 when the callback function is called.
client.incrby('foo', 42, function (err, newValue) { // ... });
This can get a little wacky. I'm open to suggestions for improvement here.
Note: for PUBSUB, you should use
subscribeTo and
unsubscribeFrom instead of the generated
methods for Redis'
SUBSCRIBE and
UNSUBSCRIBE commands. See this
and this.
All commands/requests use the Redis multi-bulk request format which will be the only accepted request protocol come Redis 2.0.

The Land of Steady Habits is not so predictable these days.
Connecticut's landmark state Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage is a talker.
I've maintained that we should not be redefining the longstanding definition of marriage -- the union between one man and one woman. In a column I wrote in 2005, I said the gay marriage issue is not a civil rights issue. This is about sexuality, sexual orientation and trying to shoehorn it into public policy. The definition of "marriage' shouldn't be a moving target. And, by the way, you aren't necessarily homophobic for expressing that point of view.
If we're going to blur the lines of marriage, then go all the way. Simply leave the term "marriage'' open to interpretation. It's whatever you want it to be, with whomever you want it to be with. How about that?
I'm going to be talking to Anne Stanback, executive director of Love Makes a Family, Saturday on my WTIC NewsTalk 1080 radio show. Stanback's group has been instrumental in advancing the gay and lesbian rights movement in CT. She and I have had some very civil but substantive talks about this issue. She's done a great in advocating for her constituents.
You can listen to my live chat with Stanback on line at 9:15 a.m. Or, you can hear a podcast of the interview after it's over.
So what sez you. Is gay marriage a bad idea, or one whose time has come?
Give me a holler.

Next-Gen YotaPhone Adds Full-Touch E-Ink Display on Back
Yota Devices
Product News
At CES 2013, a curious smartphone was introduced by an unknown Russian company called Yota Devices. But people took notice (including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak) because its product, the YotaPhone, shook up traditional smartphone design by adding a second E-Ink display on the back. It went on sale in December, but the company is already prepping the release of its next-generation device.
Announced at Mobile World Congress, the new Android 4.4-based YotaPhone will be available by the end of the year, and brings a number of improvements to the dual-screen phone. It has a sleeker and curvier design, and now sports larger and higher-resolution screens. There's a five-inch, 1,920 by 1,080-pixel touchscreen on front and a 4.7-inch, 960 by 540 pixel E-Ink display on back. More importantly, the latter is now touch sensitive.
The benefit to this is that you'll now be able to carry out more actions using the E-Ink display, which consumes less power than the color touchscreen. Before, you could only interact with it using the small gesture area below the screen, and the capabilities were limited to things like viewing incoming calls or messages. But now, you'll be able to do things like reply to text messages, post comments on Facebook and play slow-paced games like chess or Sudoku.
The company also introduced several new apps designed for the back display, including Sportscaster to keep track of your favorite sports teams and a fitness tracker. In addition, Yota Devices opened up its SDK, so third-party developers can create apps for the second-screen experience.
Other improvements include a faster quad-core processor, near field communications features and wireless charging. There's also a new Smart Power Mode feature that will turn off the color screen when you're running low on battery, while still allowing you to perform basic functions on the back display.
The next-generation YotaPhone will be available in Russia, Europe and the Middle East in the fourth quarter. Pricing has not been set, but the company will offer a program that allows owners of the first YotaPhone to upgrade to the new device at a discounted price.
The company currently sells the YotaPhone unlocked for 499 Euros (about $684 U.S.) and has sold around 12,000 units in its first month of sales. Yota Devices CEO Vlad Martynov said he originally expected around 10,000, so he sees this as a sign that there is interest in such a device.
Whether there's a demand for it in other markets like Asia and the U.S. remains to be seen. Martynov told me that the company will release a U.S. version of the phone at the beginning of next year. But whether it partners with a U.S. carrier is up in the air.

The Making of a Mideast Disaster
Roger Cohen, New York Times
The Associated Press
ISIS grew through American weakness — the setting of objectives and red lines in Syria that proved vacuous. But the deepest American and Western defeat has been ideological. As Hussain said, "If you don't have a concerted strategy to undermine their narrative, their values, their worldview, you are not going to succeed. Everyone in society has to take on the challenge."

2006 Hummer H1 Alpha
Hummer Goes Alpha
Looking out at the caravan, nightly news images of The Iraq War spring to mind. The military HUMVEE is well known from its Desert Storm years, and, now, it's further imprinted in our collective consciousness as a result of its on-going overseas duty. Stateside, its civilian counterpart, the Hummer H1, has two disparate images. It's fair to say that it has replaced the Tonka truck as an icon for young Americans, and it's widely known as a bane to environmentalists everywhere.
Undaunted by that fact, General Motors has just introduced a more powerful version of the H1 – called Alpha. GM officials claim that it is the most capable off-road truck available to the civilian market, now with better on-road manners, improved off-road capability, and increased fuel economy. They've brought the Hummer H1 Alpha to this technically challenging landscape to prove their case.
2006 Hummer H1 Alpha
Hummer Goes Alpha
Exclusive high-powered versions of almost any premium-priced model are commonplace. Automakers, in an attempt to attract adrenaline-loving horsepower fans, often supplement their car brands with top-of-the-line performance variations. BMW has its M, Volvo its R, and Mercedes-Benz its AMG. At Chrysler, SRT denotes tire-shredding capability, and GM's Cadillac division has enjoyed additional success by creating its V-series lineup.
But unlike its General Motors sibling Cadillac, Hummer does not define performance in terms of 0-60 acceleration, skidpad adhesion, or high-speed stability. Customers who step up and buy a Hummer clearly desire and define performance and image differently from those who do not. To cater to people who understand what a Hummer is and does, this new super-high-performance offering, and the special-edition Alpha designation, will eventually be available across the Hummer lineup.
The Hummer lineup will also now come in three sizes. The H1, H2 SUV and SUT, and forthcoming H3 comprise, completely, Hummer's product portfolio, and each will be available in Alpha trim. The opening volley is the 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha.
2006 Hummer H1 Alpha
Hummer Goes Alpha
Alpha Stuff
Unlike its predecessors, the Hummer H1 Alpha no longer uses the 6.5-liter Optimizer turbo-diesel V8 that put out 205 horsepower and 440 lb.-ft. of torque. Instead, GM's 6.6-liter Duramax turbo-diesel V8 delivers a 46-percent increase in horsepower, up to an impressive 300 hp at 3,000 rpm and a 70 lb.-ft. bump in torque to an impressive 520 lb.-ft. at just 1,500-1,600 rpm. Additionally, the previous-generation four-speed automatic transmission has been shelved in favor of a five-speed Allison 1000 unit.
General Motors eagerly brandishes these power figures to prove the on-road capability of its most extreme off-road vehicle. Engineers even claim an improved 0-60 acceleration time of 13.5 seconds, a full three seconds faster than the old H1. But, these days, news likely to please converts and, perhaps, the unconverted, is the "significant improvement" in fuel economy. Hummer executives report that the H1 Alpha will achieve mileage of up to 12 mpg, and estimate that the 2006 H1 Alpha's 51.5-gallon fuel tank will allow for a 570-600 mile range between fill-ups.
But, those who make the decision to own a Hummer aren't truly concerned with fuel economy, and GM knows it. Consequently, the focus is on exclusivity, image, and off-road prowess –attributes that attract Hummer's entrepreneurial clientele. In exchange for about $150,000 (our as-tested price), GM executives believe the pricey H1 Alpha offers consumers a unique machine that redefines the limits of personal mobility.
Regarding image, the aftermarket bling attached to high-end 4WD models, like the Hummer, now comes straight from the factory. A skid plate cover, front and upper grille covers, door handles and bezels, and a rear bumper cover, all finished in stainless steel, are available. Chrome trim decorates the tubular side steps, front bumper cover, headlight bezels, hood corner trim, hood latches, tailgate hinge covers, and the air intake cap. Additionally, 'Alpha' and 'Duramax' badges are found just above the rear bumper and on the front driver's side body corner, respectively. The body, with its Gulf Storm and Shock-and-Awe imprint, is made of hardened 6061 T6 aircraft aluminum and the panels are firmly secured with adhesive and rivets. For 2006, Hummer has also redesigned the H1's wheels.
2006 Hummer H1 Alpha
Hummer Goes Alpha
Test Drive
Like previous H1s, the 2006 Alpha is offered in both hardtop and softtop versions. We drove both models, over a course of nearly 200 miles. Each has its own personality, similar to other vehicles that come in convertible or hardtop form, but, in this case, the wagon version adds increased practicality for carrying goods and gear, but at an increased price, as well.
Driving these beasts produces an adrenalin rush. The H1 cuts a swath through traffic like Moses parting the Red Sea and, if you have any conscience at all, the thought of conspicuous consumption is something you have to come to terms with because the politically incorrect H1 Alpha has the power to make passersby stand at attention.
Because of the new engine and transmission, the Alpha H1 sits two inches higher than the old model, and adds a few extra pounds. Because it's a tall step up to the interior, a new grab handle on the doorframe assists short drivers and passengers. Once settled at the wheel, the 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha is surprisingly easy to drive, feeling like a much smaller vehicle than it is. Power-assisted steering guides its nearly four tons of mass through everyday driving maneuvers that are surprisingly controlled, thanks in part to the H1 Alpha's four-wheel independent suspension, with double "A" frame, open-end coil springs and hydraulic shocks. Of note, because of its wide track and width, is the 25.5 ft. turning radius. While this doesn't exactly comprise turning on a dime, improved steering makes for lighter and quicker response than the previous generation H1; the behemoth wanders only the slightly at speeds up to 90 mph.
The four-wheel independent suspension, combined with the high vantage point from the driver's seat, also provides ample eyesight for precise carving through city streets, as well as guiding the Hummer H1 Alpha's 37-inch tires onto the sweet spot of boulders and other treacherous terrain. Also impressive is the 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha's improved stopping power, thanks to larger 12-inch brake rotors, which almost erase the old H1's annoying sway from front to back upon heavy-footed braking and quick stopping maneuvers.
2006 Hummer H1 Alpha
Hummer Goes Alpha
Improved creature comforts help distinguish the 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha. Soft touch materials are inviting and the black and brown leather seats are comfortable. The front seats are heated, keeping your backside warm while the eight-speaker Monsoon sound system with six-disc CD changer massages your eardrums. The gauges are straightforward and the newly illuminated shift levers are positioned within easy reach. A new console switch makes it easier to disable overdrive, switch into tow/haul mode and operate the locking differentials. Storage bins are found both overhead and in all four doors.
Despite its gargantuan cockpit that only seats four and has yards of space that goes unused (due to military requirements to up-fit armament and communications systems) we found the H1 Alpha's overall habitat slightly plusher than before. To be fair, the flat load floor between the rear seats has tie downs to secure gear, but they don't help a hoot when it comes to carrying a load of groceries home from the Piggly Wiggly.
Standard features include power locks and windows, air conditioning, keyless entry, electronically controlled outside mirrors, and a heated windshield. Another standard feature is the Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS) that allows drivers to increase or decrease tire pressure as dictated by terrain demands. Pushing a button on the dash either deflates the tires or runs an onboard compressor causing the 37-inchers to inflate. The Runflat tire system, as found in its previous generation version, has a 30-mile range and is effective up to 20 mph when a tire has completely lost pressure and cannot be revived by the CTIS.
The interior is also significantly quieter than the old H1, a result of upgraded soundproofing compliments of an interior sound insulation package and new low-noise axles.
2006 Hummer H1 Alpha
Hummer Goes Alpha
Status, visibility and an upgraded interior are not the only virtues that sell this supertruck. The H1's original appeal was its off-road capability. With its wide track (71.6 inches); high ground clearance (16 inches); side slope capability (40 percent); crawl ratio (41.5:1); two-speed transfer case; and the standard CTIS, the 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha is almost unstoppable off-road.
Generous breakover (29 degrees), approach (72 degrees) and departure angles (37.5 degrees) only add to the H1 Alpha's capability. With this rig, you can climb a 22-inch vertical wall, ford a body of water 30 inches deep, and traverse a 40-percent side slope with close to 2,500 lbs. of gear on board. Plus, you have the benefit of a braking system that is tucked away and mounted on the raised drivetrain for protection. The larger 12-inch brake rotors (up from 10.7 inches) use four-channel ABS to supplement on-and off-road maneuvers, and full-time 4WD is engineered mechanically and electronically with a TorqTrac4 (TT4) system that employs a combination of ABS, a Torsen III limited-slip differential, and a two-speed transfer case. Finally, the new Allison transmission provides a crawl ratio of 45:1 (a 25-percent increase), for situations like descending steep slopes when low-end torque is in severe demand, coupled with low-range gear ratios that make the 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha a veritable mountain goat, whether going up or down steep hills.
An optional $5,726 Off-Road Adventure Package enhances the 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha even further, adding a 12,000-lb. capacity winch, 17-inch aluminum wheels with dual beadlocks, Goodyear GSA tires (MT-R LT 17-inchers are also available for $100 more), and front and rear Eaton E-locker locking differentials. By simply pushing a button, the Eaton differentials lock the wheels at the rear or both the front and rear axles, delivering torque exactly where it's needed.

Hummer Goes Alpha
Wrap-up and Specs
Standing tall, Hummer's flagship H1 Alpha model is sure to attract a large crowd. The actual owner's circle will, however, be much smaller, and may not grow significantly until Alpha H2 and H3 variations appear. Nevertheless, at the end of our test drive, we found no quarrel with GM's claims about its newest Hummer. Its off-road prowess is unmistakably excellent in open spaces and wide tracks, but its overall brawn restricts its use in smaller environments. As for on-road handling, we agree it's improved and appreciate the bump up in fuel economy and emissions.

What is the 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha?
GM's Hummer division designed the new H1 Alpha to raise the bar on what they consider "the most capable off-road truck available to the civilian market." With bigger and better components, and the latest technological advances in engine and transmission technology, the new version has a 46-percent increase in horsepower, an 18-percent increase in torque, an 18-percent increase in its zero-to-60 acceleration time, a 13-percent increase in towing capacity, a better cruising range, a greater crawl ratio, larger brake rotors, and improved fuel economy.
Will there be other Hummer Alpha models?
Yes, the Alpha appellation will appear on the H2 and H3 models to designate future special high-performance models. GM has not released a release date for the H2 Alpha and H3 Alpha.
Is the standard Hummer H1 Alpha the best off-roader in the arsenal?
The 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha's $5,726 Off-road Package heightens backcountry capability with a 12,000-lb. capacity winch kit, 17-inch two-piece aluminum wheels with dual beadlocks, more aggressive Goodyear tires, and front and rear Eaton ELocker locking differentials that can be locked instantly at the push of a button.
When does the 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha go on sale and how much does it cost?
On sale now, Hummer brand executives hope to sell approximately 500 of the new H1 Alpha models this year for prices around $150,000.
Any complaints?
The 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha is a huge beast that attracts attention whether you want it or not. Certainly, its size is a liability in some locations, from small city streets and tight urban parking lots to four-wheeling in places with narrow tree-lined trails.

'Missouri Miracle' was 5 years ago
Thursday, January 12, 2012
KIRKWOOD, Mo. (AP) — It has been five years since the so-called "Missouri Miracle," when two missing boys were found inside a St. Louis County apartment.
Ben Ownby of Franklin County, Mo., had been missing for four days. Even more improbable, Shawn Hornbeck of Richwood, Mo., had been missing for four years. Both were found on Jan. 12, 2007, inside the Kirkwood apartment of Michael Devlin, who is now serving three life sentences for kidnapping and abusing the boys.
The case drew international attention.
Ben was kidnapped soon after getting off a school bus in a rural area about 45 miles southwest of St. Louis. Shawn was abducted while riding his bike not far from his home.

After releasing not one but TWO releases last year (full length Strange Land and the Ghost EP), it seems Brooklyn based indie rock quartet Yellow Ostrich aren't quite done yet. Early next year (February 25th in fact), Yellow Ostrich will be adding another full length to their rapidly going discography.
"Shades", from the forthcoming Cosmos, continues to stretch the limits of Yellow Ostrich's "signature" sound. Gone are the days of the purely poppy days of The Mistress and on "Shades" in particular, the feeling is far heavier – a sort of prog-rock update with tumble down guitar riffs and sauntering bass grooves while Alex Schaaf's vocals are firmer, leaner, and even deeper than the boyishness of releases past. Alex Schaaf's always going to have that higher register but it's a pleasant surprise that it's not the only one he's comfortable flexing.
Yellow Ostrich's second full length with Barsuk Records Cosmos is out February 25th.


text: MTV's Video Music Awards thrive on big moments and big controversies — and last night's ceremony (the network's 31st) was light on both. Last year's show garnered massive ratings and massive amounts of chatter thanks to Miley's derriere, so this year was butt-tastic. But with no host, no Gaga, no Kanye, no Britney and no pythons, producers were left pushing two hours of brand-new artists they hope can become big stars... before the biggest star of them all arrived to make 'em all bow down. Here's how the night shook out, once the glitter settled.

ADDISON — Long-time Addison County obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Alan Ayer, who delivered well over 5,000 babies and practiced in this area more than 30 years, died suddenly on Friday, March 13. He was 71 years old.
Ayer was a native of Maine, and he received his medical degree from the University of Vermont College of Medicine. He practiced medicine for more than 40 years.
Ayer was the husband of Sen. Claire Ayer, who has represented Addison County as a Democrat in the Vermont Senate since first being elected in 2002.
It really bothered me a few years ago when the Supreme Court declared that corporations are people. It just seemed like Chief Justice John Roberts and the Republican majority on the court (and make no mistake, these five men carry the water for the GOP that put them in power) simply were twisting the rules again to favor their team. How did I know that corporate personhood would favor the Republicans? Because the Republican majority on the Supreme Court backed it, therefore it must be pro-GOP. How's that for circular liberal logic?
Dear Mom and Dad,
It's Sunday night, a few days before Christmas, and we've been scurrying around getting things ready for the holiday — cleaning, wrapping gifts … Sarah and the girls took a sled down to the brook and collected pine boughs, then they decorated the house, made it look and smell like a festival. I spent half the day in the office getting things ready to take a day off.
ON THANKSGIVING MORNING these trees in Middlebury, like those around Addison County, hung heavy with snow after the county received the heaviest snowfall of anywhere in the state.

THE UNUSUALLY HEAVY snowfall in Middlebury this past Wednesday left this dangle of dogwood covered in the white stuff.

SEVERAL HUNDRED CHILDREN (and a handful of adults) dressed up in a wide variety of costumes and mobbed the Middlebury town green Sunday afternoon for the seventh annual Spooktacular. Some children had their photos taken in front of a spooky moon.
A YOUNG MUMMY plays a bean bag toss game at Sunday's Spooktacular on the Middlebury town green. The event, sponsored by the Better Middlebury Partnership, also featured music, face painting and lots of running around.
SUNDAY'S SPOOKTACULAR CULMINATED in a trick-or-treat parade up and down Main Street where merchants and others handed out candy (and some fruits, too) to all the little children.
Last month I took the practice test for the Common Core, a set of education standards that all American children will have to meet. The test was created by an outfit called the "Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium." I was aghast and a little dismayed when I saw that Question 17 included the writing mistake that drives me, as an editor, the most crazy. The question read:

Last summer I was given some Day Lilies by my father's wife from their garden. They grow all over the place and seem to be spreading quite madly. I didn't have a suitable spot for them when I got home so I planted them in a big pot. They are now doing very well and have laves that are almost 2 dm. If I plant them in my borders, will the take over or will that take years before they spread too far.
In my experience they do spread, but the clumps just get bigger rather than them popping up all over the place. I thik it also depends on what variety they are...there was a clump of a rather ho hum orange hemerocallis when I moved here, I got fed up with it and dug it up as it didn't produce enough flowers to earn its keep. I must have missed some bits, as there are a couple of little plants there now, but I'll see what they do. I've planted out another couple,Kathereine Woodbury (I think) which has pinkish scented flowers, and a pale cream one. They've been in a year or so and haven't got massive by any means.
I have had mine for years and it has not popped up anywhere else, unless I put divisions there. I do dead head on a daily basis .
Mine haven't gone mad in the garden. I have split one up growing in a container and they look like they are doing ok at the moment.
If they'r ehappy the clumps get bigger each year but that just means you can lift and divide them and have more plants for your garden or to swap with firends and rellies. I have several forms in my garden and they're very forgiving, happy to grow in sun or part shade and in well drained or moist soils. Just make sure you scatter wildlife friendly slug pellets as the new shoots emerge in sprng cos the slugs love them.
Hmmm. I find them invasive because they are very happy in my garden and spread out into the lawn and swamp other plants.
I find lifting and dividing them difficult (but I am feeble) and doing so just invigorates the clumps and they spread even further. As I don't want any more clumps I have put divisions on the compost heap where they are now thriving! So I will have to dig them up from there.
They are the first green shoots which appear in late winter, cope with any amount of snow and frost and have been untouched by slugs here -perhaps because they wake up well before the slugs do.
I can't find anyone locally who wants any as they all have the same problem.
In conclusion -you have to love them to grow them and they do have some things going for them.
Much will depend upon which day lily you have. The early ones, mostly yellow or sandy-brown coloured, can become a bit much in some areas. The later hybrids - in every colour of the rainbow - don't do more than become a larger clump if happy.
Mine have never spread, the same ones show their heads every year
Mine are the yellow and sandy-brown types! Good description of the colour there, Bookertoo.

Wednesday, June 18, 2014
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW) -- On Monday, North Augusta city leaders voted to hire an engineering firm. But just how much that engineering firm says is needed to repair the Greeneway remains to be seen. However, some estimates are pushing that number close to $1 million.
"Accesibility is a big factor," said city administrator Todd Glover, "In many cases the pipes are at the bottom of the embankment so any type of repairs that you undertake arent going to be cheap."
And they aren't going to be quick either. Current estimates put the repair finish date somewhere into mid-Fall.
"We know that people use this,we know its a popular," said Glover, "but first and foremost we want them to be safe."
The parks and recreation department says that the plan is to install a 72 inch pipe, compared to the failing 48 inch pipe that sits there now. The problem comes from drainage and that hope is that new pipes will help to alleviate the issue.
Right now, city officials say that previous plans to expand the Greeneway could be put on hold. But they say their priority right now is to get the current problem fixed before plans of expansion even begin.

Creole Christmas Fruitcake
Source: Babycenter Community
Mom Rating
Ages: Baby
In: Holidays
Instructions:Ingredients needed:
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
Strips of zest of 2 lemons (about 3 tablespoons)
Juice of 2 lemons (about 1/4 cup)
1 pound of combination of dried fruits, such as blueberries, cranberries, cherries, raisins, and chopped apricots
1 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 ounces almond paste
8 large eggs
1 cup Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1 cup silvered blanched almonds
1 cup pecans pieces
1 cup walnut pieces
1/2 cup bourbon
Make a simple syrup by combining the sugar and water in a medium-size heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the lemon zest and juice and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil for 2 minutes and remove from the heat.
Combine the dried fruits together in a large mixing bowl. Pour the simple syrup over them, toss to coat, and let steep for 5 minutes. Strain and reserve the syrup.
Creme the butter, sugar, and almond paste together in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle at low speed, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl. Beat until the mixture is fluffy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in between each addition on low speed and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add 1/2 cup of the Grand Marnier and mix to incorporate.
Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium-size mixing bowl and blend well. Add this mixture 1/2 cup at a time to the butter mixture with the mixer on low speed, each time mixing until smooth, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. The batter will be thick. Add the warm fruit and all the nuts a little at a time, mixing well. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease twelve 1 pound loaf pans. Spoon about 1 cup of the batter into each pan. Bake until golden and the tops spring back when touched, about 45 minutes (rearranging them after 25 minutes if necessary to brown evenly).
Cool for 10 minutes in the pans. Remove cakes from the pans and cool completely on wire racks. Wrap each cake in a layer of cheesecloth. Store in plastic storage bags until they are slightly stale, 3 to 4 days.
Combine the reserved simple syrup with the remaining 1/2 cup Grand Marnier and the bourbon. Without removing the cheesecloth, make tiny holes with a toothpick randomly on the top of each cake. Pour 2 tablespoons of the syrup over the top of each cake once every 2 to 3 days until all of the syrup is used. Let the cakes age for up to 3 weeks before eating.
Yield: 12 cakes (from the website)

"Mechanical factors in glomerular disease"
Tyler Miller, M.D.
Professor; Chief of Medical Service and Vice Chair for Clinical Operations, Veterans Affairs North Texas Health Care System; UT Southwestern Medical Center
Abstract: Biologic sciences have focused on chemical signaling and regulatory mechanisms (hormones, growth factors, autocrine and paracrine signaling) in studying cell and tissue growth, development, physiologic processes, and disease. Generally, the different mechanical properties of tissue have received superficial consideration, and changes in mechanical properties with disease have been thought to be consequences of disease process rather than active participants in the disease process.

I really enjoyed the island game because we had to work together even though we didn't get everyone over to the safe island we still had fun doing it with each other. I learned that working together works better than just you ding it by yourself.

Combined festival events create hit
Downtown scene of new Multicultural Fall Festival
Sunday, October 17, 2010
For those who came out to Saturday afternoon's Multicultural Fall Festival in downtown Jefferson City, evidence that there was any kind of change was nowhere to be found.
The event, which brought together the former Downtown Harvest Fest and the Multicultural Festival, was a hit by all accounts. For those in charge of the festival, it was a welcome reward for the hard work that went into bringing the two events together.

70 Years Celebration
Winning Year: 1986
Author: Berlie Doherty
Title: Granny was a Buffer Girl
Original Publisher:
Current Publisher:
In Print
It`s hard for Jess to imagine what it will be like to leave home, separated from her family and friends and the place she has always known. Before she goes Jess wants to share all the family secrets.
Berlie Doherty was brought up in Liverpool. It was not a bookish household, but her father, a railwayman, was an avid writer. His poetry was published in the local newspaper and he encouraged Berlie to write for the children's page of the Liverpool Echo. Berlie carried a notebook around with her and was a keen reader. When her local librarian introduced her to Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome it was as if a door to a new world had been opened.
She was a singer for a short while and then in 1983, after two years teaching in a large city comprehensive and another two working for schools radio, Berlie decided to become a full-time writer. It was a risk; her marriage had ended and she had three children to bring up alone in Sheffield. But the risk paid off; Berlie has enjoyed a hugely successful career, writing in a variety of forms and for a wide range of audiences. To date, she has written more than 35 books for children, two adult novels, several plays for theatre and radio and three TV series.
