Armchair Traveling with Fiction
I love to travel, don't get me wrong; but when you can't actually hop on a plane and go to the place you want to be, armchair travelling with a good book is the next best thing!
Flight Reading
This doesn't always mean you have to read true accounts, sometimes the best way to armchair travel is through fiction. The first time I went to Hawaii I happened to bring along Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers by Lois Ann Yamanaka. I was drawn in by the cover and the topic of a girl growing up in an exotic place. A reviewer wrote: "Yamanaka jumps off the page to hold you, hit you, hug you." She really does! I couldn't put the book down.
Reading On Location
By the time we landed on the tarmac in Oahu I was done with the book, but wanted more. I had just landed in Hawaii but already knew what 'pidgin' sounded like. I knew people hunted for wild boar and many lived in poverty. I had a sense of what it would be like to grow up as Lovey Nariyoshi did. I hunted down another Yamanaka book called Blu's Hanging and devoured that while watching friends surf unbelievably big waves on the North Shore. I might not have physically been able to see every aspect of Hawaii, but I saw through Yamanaka's writing the grittier side of paradise and felt like I knew something other tourists didn't.
Simple and True Yamanaka's writing makes you feel a part of the story—as if she's sitting in front of you telling you herself. She is Hawaiian-born Japanese and much of what she writes comes from personal experience.
"Mother smokes Parliaments. We're not to point at the cigarette machine and say, "That the kine mommy smokes," if Grandma is around. I like when Mother and me sit on the porch to pick fleas off of Melba and Spam, the two black poi dogs we found in the ditch by Grandma's house." Simple and true.
Then There's This Passage
"That's what got me crying. We weren't good enough for the kind of love that Shirley (Temple) had every Sunday, the kind of love that makes the bottom lip quiver and mothers rush through crowds to hug you at the end of the movie. That's my own happy ending."
Whether or not you can travel to Hawaii, definitely check out anything by Lois Ann Yamanaka. Her books are great for older teens and adults!

Kim Day is an MLIS degree candidate and currently works at the Pacifica Libraries. She loves to read things that make her laugh one second, cry the next and leave a mark on her soul. Yamanaka is one of her favorite authors of contemporary fiction.

With all the futuristic-looking moon boots out on the market these days, the classic looks of the DC Men's Rogan Snowboard Boot are a sight for sore eyes. Traditional lacing and a leather upper give it a no-frills, workwear boot vibe for the blue-collar snowboarders out there.
Direct Power Lacing uses reliable traditional lacing and upgrades it with specially designed overlays that increase leverage for optimal shell closure and a custom fit. An articulated cuff allows plenty of flexibility so you can bone out your Japan grabs and tweak your bluntslides, while a molded backstay provides support so you can still charge steeps and send it on the big jumps. The Red liner features heat-moldable EVA foam for a comfy custom fit. Unilite replaces rubber in the outsole to shave weight and improve rebound without sacrificing durability or traction.

Solid boots; comfortable & lightweight
Nice boots, however they are a bit too small. Normally wear a size 10 shoe, ordered the 10.5 but ended up having to go up to 11. Other than that, the support feels great and the insole is comfortable as hell. Plenty of flex for walking up and down those stairs after a liquid lunch, but at the same time enough stiffness for shredding the mountain. Can't wait to use them this winter!
These boots run small I had to return to size up
Totally agree, I wear size 9 but ended up using a size 10 for a snug fit.

|Cheer 'em on
The youngest in attendance at a Perkins County High School cheer clinic on Saturday was enthusiastic Anley Sauder, three, daughter of Melissa and Chase Sauder. Forty-four Plainsmen cheerleader wannabes were led by the current high school cheerleaders, Rachel Patrick, Lacey Jensen, Jessie Woodmancy, Courtney McClenahan, Alyssa Young, Kayla Woodmancy, Mariah Curtis, Samantha Snogren, and cheerleader coaches Ashleigh Noyes, and Lauren Klima. After spending the morning learning chants and cheers followed by a pizza lunch, the three squads which were divided by age gave an afternoon performance for parents, grandparents and fans. Participants received pompons and satchels while a lucky winner from each age group was selected for the "spirit jar" award. See group photo in "Sports." (Photo by Jan Rahn)

|Another Perspective
|Written by Lori Pankonin, The Imperial Republican
Vegetable provides more than nutrition
Despite the drought and some gardeners saying that produce just didn't set on this summer, others found tremendous success in veggie production.
I saw a picture of a heapin' pile of cucumbers recently, the final pick before the plant was ripped out of the ground as the overabundance from daily growth was becoming a nuisance.
Well I wonder if my friends knew ALL the uses suggested for cucumbers. You mean there's more to do with cucumbers than eat them? More than putting them in salads or making pickles? More than slicing them into a pitcher of water with lime juice for a refreshing drink?
By golly, I read that rubbing a cucumber slice on a mirror will keep it from fogging. Or rub it on faucets, sinks and stainless steel for a "green" way to clean and shine. No streaks and no harm to the fingers or fingernails. And it provides a pleasant fragrance.
I've seen pictures of women in a spa environment with cucumber slices over their eyes. Another facial suggestion is to cut up a cucumber into boiling water and let the nutrients in the steam reduce stress with the soothing, relaxing aroma.
Here's a great one that could definitely make cucumbers a huge marketable item if they really succeeded at this miracle ... removing cellulite and wrinkles. Alrighty then. Who has been keeping this secret? And to think, I just threw out a cucumber that was hiding in the bottom of the veggie bin in the fridge. Maybe the mush would have even worked.
Read on. You have a job interview and you realize that you don't have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe and watch the chemicals provide a nice shine that also repels water.
You realize you don't have gum or a mint for that interview or for a special moment? Well take a slice of cucumber, press it to the roof of your mouth for 30 seconds to eliminate odor. Yes, the phytochemicals will kill the bacteria that causes bad breath.
Now I'm laughing. Hmmm. I don't happen to have gum or mints, but I'll be ... there's a cucumber in my purse. Good thing I grabbed an extra one on my way out the door. Oh. There isn't a cucumber in my purse? Wait. Maybe there's still a slice clinging to my thigh since I did a quick cellulite-removal in case I go to the pool later.
What? Rubbing a cucumber slice on a squeaky hinge will solve the annoying problem? Who needs WD-40? Bring on the cucs!
Although it's too late for this year's garden, I also read that placing cucumber slices on a pie tin in the garden allows natural chemicals to react with the aluminum, providing a scent that humans don't notice but it drives garden pests away. Something to remember for the next picnic.
Wow. All that in addition to the nutritional advantages of Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, folic acid, Vitamin C, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Holy cow! Or should I say Holy Cucumber! Forget the caffeine. Eat a cucumber for a natural quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.
Would you like cream in your coffee? No. In fact, skip the coffee. Will you please bring me a cucumber?
You may have detected a bit of sarcasm in my analysis of these suggestions. But seriously, I'm a firm believer in the advantages of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Some of today's diseases didn't exist when our ancestors ate off the land and didn't have access to preserved foods. Garbage wasn't filling up the precious land because food didn't come in cans and packages. Every morsel of the food was used for something, if not for humans, for the animals or for household chores.
Although medications have miraculously saved lives, the natural remedies can sometimes do the trick at much less expense and with safer long-term results. Do you have a cough? Try lemon and honey.
And keep in mind ... an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Mad Rock Mad Pad Review
Mad Rock Mad Pad, $120
The Mad Pad takes the cake for pure shock absorption. With over 4.75 inches of foam, this lunker of a pad almost never bottomed out. The hinged closure and speed buckles make opening and closing a snap. I would have liked an accessory pocket, but since it costs only $120, I can't really complain—this pad is a heck of a bargain. Velcro flaps on the bottom and sides let you secure it to other pads if you need to create a larger landing zone. Mad Rock: 503-797-1952, www.mad-rockshoes.com.
Open size: 39x46x4.75 inches (3.5 inches open-cell, 1.25 inches closed-cell foam)
Weight: 10 pounds
Closure system: Hinged
Carpeted deck: No
Accessory pocket: No
Side carrying handle: Yes
Suspension: Padded shoulder straps
Cushioning: 5 stars
Ease of use: 5 stars
Creature comforts: 1 star
Final score: 4 stars

Fla. legislators consider state's gambling future
Published: Monday, October 7, 2013 at 3:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 7, 2013 at 3:50 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE — Nearly every Floridian could soon be within 2 hours of a casino if state legislators throw open the doors to all types of gambling.
That was just one of the scenarios given to state senators Monday as part of a comprehensive study on gambling in the Sunshine State.
Two years ago the Republican-controlled Legislature shot down a bill to allow major resort casinos in South Florida. But state lawmakers are now looking seriously at whether or not to change the state's gambling laws.
Some senators were skeptical about some conclusions reached in the $400,000 study on the potential impacts of allowing more gambling and casinos in the state.
That study concluded adding casinos would likely have a moderate impact on the state's economy and most money would come from Floridians.

Andy Roddick makes a guest appearance in the new video for Michael Tolcher's latest single "Speed Feels Better".
The American baller, who just led the U.S. Davis Cup team into the quarterfinals where they'll meet the tough Croats, explained how the two hooked up:
I stalked Michael until he let me into the video. But no, Michael was nice enough to play a charity event of mine a couple years ago, did a great job, so when he asked if I could be in the video I jumped at the chance to be here and repay the favor.
The video features other high-profile athletes including sexy swimmer Amanda Beard, ice skating's Kimmie Meisner, and the NFL's Barry Sanders + Rick Ankiel.

Dave Dildine, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – Expect a general increase in highway volume across the region due to Easter and Passover travel, spring break, the Cherry Blossom Festival and the forecast of warmer weather.
The traffic picture this weekend will likely be framed not by individual events or specific incidents, but rather by the broader impact of discretionary travel.
Interstate travel volume on I-95 and I-66 has been increasing over the past month. Delays on Saturdays and Sundays are becoming more common and more intense during the daytime hours.
While congestion on the roads may slow you down, trains on Metrorail will operate at regular weekend intervals. The normal weekend track work has been suspended until April 14 to benefit those headed downtown.
More people will be venturing down to the Tidal Basin this weekend. The Yoshino Cherries are approaching peak bloom.
The National Park Service is still predicting that 70 percent of the trees will be in bloom between April 3 and 6. The blooming period can last up to 14 days, the Park Service says.
If you're taking Metro to see the cherries, the busiest station during the Cherry Blossom Festival is usually Smithsonian. Since the weather will be pleasant, some may opt to take the scenic walk across the mall from the Federal Triangle or Archives stations.
Metro customers without a SmarTrip card can purchase a one-day pass for $14. The one-day pass can be used for unlimited travel on the day it is first used.
On Saturday, Marquette takes on Syracuse at the Verizon Center for the NCAA eastern regional basketball game. Metro, as always, is the best way to get to the venue.

With the 89th Map of the Week we move to the borderlands town of East Fortress in the Kingdom of Slovania before starting a two-week Christmas vacation. We'll be back on January 7 with Map of the Week No. 90.
Key to the Map of the East Fortress
1. Outer Gate and Road to the Black Fortress und Grainmill.
2. Crop Fields. To present orc and draug raiders from destroying crops, these are grown between the outer and inner walls of the fortress. Only grains grow outside the walls.
3. Main Gate.
4. Farms. Most are house-and-barn combinations. Animals that graze in pastures outside the walls always are brought in at night.
5. Frantiek's Shop. This is something of a modern day version of a catalog store. The farmers in the fortress can handle most food needs, and Ferdinand (Location No. 7) takes good care of the needs for smith's products, but most other wares need to be brought in by the government's supply caravans. Frantiek keeps most of the items in stock that people need on a regular and recurring basis, but other wares must be ordered. Basic artisans like tailors, seamstresses and shoemakers are not to be found in the East Fortress. As a result, those who live in the foretress need to watch that their clothing, shoes, etc., are in good condition, and before they become too worn, they must order replacements in advance. Frantiek takes those orders.
6. Missing.
7. Fortress Smithy. Ferdinand is a master weaponsmith and armor maker, but he and his crew also will do normal blacksmith work, when necessary. His crew includes the journeyman smiths Jan and Ilja, both human male artisans, and the apprentice Jens, a human male commoner. The 28-year-old Jan will make his master's tests soon. The 22-year-old Ilja still will have to wait at least five years before making his tests. The 16-year-old Jens hopes to become a journeyman in two years. Ferdinand is a widower. His wife died in his old hometown in an orc raid. The other three smiths are unmarried.
8. The Beheaded Draug Inn. The Draug is a six-story building with a 60 x 30 foot/18 x 9 m footprint. The kitchen and the main public room are on the ground floor. A large dining hall is on the second story. Guest accomodations are on the third story. Svatava has her apartment on the top floor. The fourth and fifth stories have the rooms of the inn's employees. Svatava seldom works in the public room. She concentrates upon brewing beer, managing the inn and seeing that things always run smoothly. Because her house also serves as the military mess hall, Svatava employs a rather sizeable crew:
Jóhann, a 48-year-old human male commoner, works at the tap in the public room. He and his wife, Oldřika, a 44-year-old human female commoner who is a waitress in the public room, live in a room in the inn.
Pavel, a 42-year-old human male, and Regina, a 41-year-old human female, are artisans and master cooks. Pavel's wife, Barbora, a 38 year old human female commoner, works as a waitress, and Regina's husband, Barnabá, a 43-year-old human male commoner, works as a waiter. Both couples are childless. They live in rooms in the inn.
Several other human commoners also work in the inn: Jolana, a 52-year-old female, and Růena, a 32-year-old female, both work as waitresses. Oliver, a 46-year-old male, and Nikola, a 47-year.old male, both work as laborers. Kristýna, a 22-year-old female, works as kitchen help and maid for travelers' lodgings.

No decision yet on crippled Fla. nuke plant
Published: Monday, January 7, 2013 at 12:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 7, 2013 at 12:38 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE — Progress Energy is still undecided on whether to repair or shut down its crippled nuclear power plant in Crystal River.
That means that the state's second-largest power company could have to refund customers $100 million under a prior settlement between the utility and consumer advocates. That settlement calls for the refund if repairs had not begun by the end of 2012.
A lawyer for the utility company told state regulators Monday that Progress expects to have a decision about the plant by this coming summer - although he didn't rule out an announcement before then.
The reactor has been down since late 2009 when its concrete containment building cracked during a maintenance and upgrade project.
Officials say fixing the plant would likely take several years and cost billions.

Arcade Fire have been left baffled by the avalanche of online file-sharing because music fans will regularly buy expensive coffee but expect to get records for free.
The Canadian rockers insist they are not bothered about advances in music technology changing the way consumers listen to records, but they cannot understand where fans' priorities lie.
Frontman Win Butler tells Q magazine, "I mean, I don't necessarily feel qualified to personally fight against cultural changes. It's kind of like having an opinion about… the weather or something like that. It's just happening. I think it's good to stand up for artists' rights and I do think as it stands there's a general problem with the idea of music and film as, like, infinite content. That well runs dry pretty fast if you have access to everything all the time."
Fellow bandmember Richard Reed Parry adds, "There's that weird dichotomy where people go and spend six dollars on a fancy coffee and think that records are free. Something's got to give."

Doe Nob,
Just having fun.
Doe Nob,
Just having fun.
Bitterroot, I applied for a couple jobs in Helena, thanks for the information. I went to high school over the mountain in Deer Lodge, and I have family there so it would be handy.
I am a year out but some federal jobs take time.
I know you are considering the Glacier area. It is one of my favorite areas of the state. Great backcountry outside the park there.
PM sent.
Thanks, NW and Southwest Montana especially farther away from Missoula, Butte and Bozeman are in my top picks with Alaska south of the Arctic Circle and Wyoming off the I-80 corridor rounding out the top 3 places I want to be.
Eventually when the kids are a bit older we'll move back to Alaska for a few years as I feel I have a lot of unfinished business up there.
When I am in my mid 50's (15 years from now) we want to move teach school in Europe, South America or Africa. But we want our kids a little older.

The 2011 Import and Export Market for Prepared Additives for Cements, Mortars, or Concretes in Germany
- May 2010
- Region: Germany
- 70 pages
- ICON Group International
On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on prepared additives for cements, mortars, or concretes in Germany face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying prepared additives for cements, mortars, or concretes to Germany? How important is Germany compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of prepared additives for cements, mortars, or concretes vary from one country of origin to another in Germany? On the supply side, Germany also exports prepared additives for cements, mortars, or concretes. Which countries receive the most exports from Germany? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?
This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for prepared additives for cements, mortars, or concretes in Germany. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for prepared additives for cements, mortars, or concretes for those countries serving Germany via exports, or supplying from Germany via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Germany fits into the world market for imported and exported prepared additives for cements, mortars, or concretes. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Germany in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that Germany is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Germany compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.
After the worldwide summary in Chapter 2 of both imports and exports of prepared additives for cements, mortars, or concretes, Chapter 3 goes into detail on imports, but for each major country of origin serving Germany. A "major" market is defined as a country where Germany represents a substantially large share of either imports or exports. For each major country exporting to Germany, one can thus observe how important Germany is to that exporting country compared to other countries of the world. Chapter 4 does the same, but for exports of prepared additives for cements, mortars, or concretes originating from Germany, for each major country of destination. In doing so, one can discover the share that Germany has in each major market; this share value is often used as a measure of competitiveness for Germany. In all cases, the total dollar volume and percentage share values by major trading partner are provided. Combined, Chapters 3 and 4 present a the total picture for imports and exports of prepared additives for cements, mortars, or concretes to and from Germany to and from all other major countries in the world. "Prepared Additives for Cements, Mortars, or Concretes" as a category is defined in this report following the definition given by the United Nations Statistics Division Classification Registry using the Standard International Trade Classification, Revision 3 (SITC, Rev. 3). The SITC code that defined "prepared additives for cements, mortars, or concretes" is 59897 . SHOW LESS READ MORE >

Transportation Best Practices: Sargento's finely-aged TMS upgrade
July 01, 2011
About five years ago, Sargento Foods realized that its distribution planning, like a fine block of Swiss, had some holes in it. So, the Wisconsin-based, family-owned converter and packager of cheese products decided it was time to make some long-term, strategic changes.
Like many shippers in the early 2000s, Sargento was coping with an antiquated transportation management system (TMS) that did not have the ability to meet the company's changing operational requirements. For example, when its logistics team was planning its orders for shipments, the old software did so without considering cost, service, or contractual shipments to its carriers. Accessorial costs were simply ignored.
"Simply put, there were operational problems," says Keith Hartlaub, general manager of Sargento Transportation, LLC. Chief among those issues was the inability of the old software to take orders and combine them into efficient, point-to-point truckload moves.
Instead, loads moved through more inefficient and costly less-than-truckload (LTL) moves by carriers that were not always the most efficient on any particular lane. Carrier selection was hampered, and Sargento had a difficult time creating an accurate recording of its actual transportation costs.
It was time to change TMS providers, and by January 2006, Sargento was well into its search. "We knew we had to spend money to be more efficient," says Hartlaub, "but the question was how."
At the time, says Hartlaub, the key to Sargento's decision-making process was whether to build its own TMS system or go with a Web-based, on-demand solution. Upfront costs were certainly a major factor, but so was the ability of on-demand providers to add innovations cheaply in this rapidly changing technology.
"We thought the world of on-demand software was the way to go," recalls Hartlaub. That was due to the potential for an on-demand solution to build efficiencies into Sargento's
network quickly and economically. "I was familiar with a company called Nistrevo Corp in Eden Prairie, Minn. It was one of five software providers interviewed, and finally was the winning bid," says Hartlaub. Nistrevo has since been purchased by IBM, and rebranded as Sterling Transportation Management System, an IBM company.
And while there was a big cultural change in store for Sargento and its transportation department, the results speak for themselves. The company has been able to reduce its LTL shipments by nearly 30 percent due to the new system that allows Sargento's logistics team to "bundle" those more expensive LTL moves into full truckload moves.
There was also a 60 percent savings in overhead costs by automating freight bill payments, as well as an improved allocation of costs to more accurately reflect the precise cost of each shipment. Now, let's take a look at how Hartlaub and the Sargento logistics teams was able to realize these savings.
Goal setting
After the decision was made to change in the early months of 2006, Sargento set three major goals. First, it wanted an on-demand solution that was connected to a larger logistics network. Second, the team demanded strong TMS functionality that included comprehensive automated freight billing capabilities. And third, they knew the over all outcome of the upgrade needed to improved overall logistics efficiency.
"It was intense, but fairly painless," says Hartlaub of the three-month implementation period that ran from April to June 2006. Some work processes had to be changed, and there were many employee hours spent entering data before Sargento went live with the TMS. Previously, much reporting was done on paper, but now needed to be entered into computers. Phones and faxes were out, online data was in; employees had to be retrained; and trucking partners had to be informed of Sargento's new way of conducting business.
Somewhat complicating matters was the fact Sargento has a 36-truck private fleet covering the eastern half of the country. It wanted to retain that private fleet for many multi-stop routes out of its three Wisconsin manufacturing sites in Kiel, Hilbert, and its headquarters in Plymouth. The majority of its distribution is out of Plymouth, about 60 miles south of Green Bay, and the company ships about 200 loads a week out of that location.
Under the old system, there was much more manual input, with freight invoices being done by hand. That system was scrapped in exchange for new electronic data interchange (EDI). There is much less faxing and phone calls and more keystrokes. And while these cultural changes were necessary, Hartlaub says he was sensitive to employees' resistance to too much change too quickly.
So the decision was made to keep all employees well informed of why these changes were made. They were told Sargento's business practices had to change to become more efficient in the highly competitive world of food distribution.
"All people are adverse to change to some degree," says Hartlaub. "There was a little bit of resistance that we had to get past, but it only took a short period of time. Our staff openly accepted it and moved on."
Now that the integration and cultural hurdles over the new TMS methodology were cleared, Sargento enjoys much more efficient shipment planning, execution, and freight payment abilities. It's now able to track performance of its more than 30 carriers, allowing them to identify areas to cut costs and increase efficiencies. Hartlaub's team is also able to use the system for visibility and planning purposes and to accurately allocate transportation costs to its customers.
"It really is night and day," says Hartlaub. "We understand the cost of a load before it's tendered. We see the same rates as the carrier, fuel surcharges are identified up front, and when accessorials occur, the carriers can add that to the invoice—but we know it in real time. We have the opportunity to approve or reject it up front and that has reduced billing errors substantially."

Poetry Saturdays: Lisa Suhair Majaj
Lisa Suhair Majaj is a Palestinian-American writer living in Cyprus. This poem is from the most recent issue of On The Issues magazine.
There's no poetry in it,
but I need to say something about No,
how it stands up, no matter how unpopular,
in the face of injustice. Maybe it can't
thwart history: the powerful have always known
what they can do, and they do it.
No can't stop an avalanche.
But No could be a retaining wall
built of rough stones wrested from the earth,
carried one by one up the hill on someone's back.
No might be a tree in the middle of a village street:
traffic shifts to flow around it, its presence
a reminder of what used to be, what won't be
forgotten. No is the perimeter of stubborn cactus
springing up around destroyed villages.
You can bulldoze houses, evict or kill the inhabitants,
but the thorns of memory can't be eliminated.
No is steadfast. It knows what it's like
to have nothing in its hands but dignity.

Dear Editor:
The Saugerties Historical Society has been involved this year with the reconstruction of the 1760 Dutch barn project at the historic Kiersted House, home to the Society.
The Society has grown in its participation with other local organizations to become a place of community in Saugerties. Putting up the barn will both save an important part of Ulster County history and allow us to expand our programs, especially with the youth of the Hudson Valley.
Of course, we are in difficult economic times and the Society was concerned whether this important project would become a reality. Then assistance came when we needed it the most.
We would like to thank the Bruderhof community for its assistance in helping make sure this project moved forward. It took on the responsibility of the entire project of putting the inner roof boards on the barn, and for that we are grateful. Of course, this is the type of generous spirit that has always been exhibited by the Bruderhof community and it was an honor to work with its members.
The Society also received assistance from Sen. John Bonacic, R-Mount Hope, who donated personally to this project of barn timbers the senator saved from a barn that was taken down years ago. Because of the age of the barn at Kiersted House (1727), the Society needed to replace many pieces. This donation helped with the difficult task of reconstruction. Of course, Sen. Bonacic has been a supporter of this project since the very beginning.
When something is donated, the question comes of how do we get it to the Kiersted House? We wish to thank Supervisor Kelly Myers, Highway Superintendent Doug Myers and a great group of people who work in the Highway Department, as well as Greg Chorvas and his men. They came to our rescue and showed what can happen we there is community spirit.
The writer is president of the Saugerties Historical Society.

Spare Tire Carrier Modification - Spare ChangeWritten by Gerry Burger on August 21, 2012 Cleaning Up the Ford Truck Spare Tire Carrier
The 1940 Ford pickup is arguably the best looking Ford truck ever built. A pretty bold statement, but beyond my natural prejudice formed by owning a '40 pickup, let me defend my position. First of all, the number of '40 pickups that survived is nothing short of amazing, and that is because, like all great collectibles, they were popular right out of the gate, much like the '53-56 F-100 and the '47-57 Chevy pickups. And then there is one other thing unique to the '40 pickup – it was the only truck Ford built that shared true passenger car styling with a truck. Sure some of the earlier '30s trucks resembled the car sheetmetal, but not to the extent of the '40-41 pickup. We're not sure why, but much like the iconic Deuce, Henry got it right and never did it again. OK, so we've established this is one good-looking truck, and yet there is always room for improvement.
As this '40 pickup goes through a rebirth of sorts, the modifications are being kept to a minimum. We added some King Bee driving lights up front, '36 Ford taillights out back, and it was decided the spare tire would stay, but that spare tire mount would have to be restyled. For whatever reason Ford had a piece of channel stamped that was over an inch too wide to fit nicely on the stake pocket. The bottom of this channel is simply welded to the side of the bed; likewise, the top of the channel was welded to the upper area of the stake pocket, leaving a good bit of the spare tire carrier hanging off in the process.
The cure was a simple one – take a cut-off wheel and pie-cut the top of the spare tire carrier, then close the gap until it aligns with the stake pocket. Weld up the seam and you are done, but even then we thought it might be a good place for a bit of hot rod flavor, so we added a trio of speed holes that really transformed it from an ugly bracket to one suitable for a '40 Ford. It only took a few hours, and yes, it is difficult to see with the spare tire mounted, but the difference is always in the details and we feel certain this is one detail worth the effort.
When the tire is mounted, a stainless band and full metal face will provide plenty of '60s flavor and complete our spare change.

The fix is relatively simple. We marked a pie-cut on the top of the carrier, and then we'll remove some material and reshape the piece to meet the stake pocket.Our Craftsman straight die-grinder and cut-off wheel made quick work of the V-cut. We cut just inside the top radius to preserve the curved edge of the carrier.Cut-off wheels leave a sharp burr that can give you a nasty cut, a little time spent with a file de-burrs the piece. Your fingers will thank you later.We spent a bit more time filing and gently grinding off any high spots to ensure the fit would be good when the two pieces meet again.One C-clamp and a deep throat Vise-Grip bring the two pieces together. The improvement of a tapered carrier is already apparent.After tack-welding the top seam, a pair of Vise-Grips was used to twist the flange straight until it met the lower portion of the carrier.We finish-welded the top seam and the corner seam. Once again you can see we saved the radius on the carrier's corner so it would match the other side of the carrier.A little work with a grinding wheel, followed by a 100-grit disc and the carrier is beginning to look like it actually belongs on the truck. We also dressed down the factory welds on the stake pocket.
After drilling pilot holes, three different size hole saws were used to make progressively smaller holes. After drilling, a half-round file was used to slightly bevel each hole.The "speed holes" went a long way to making this look like a hot rod bracket rather than a utilitarian spare tire carrier.

|Grainland storage silos go up northeast of Holyoke
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
It has been a busy year for Grainland Co-op. After waiting nearly two years, BNSF and NKC Railroad finally reached an agreement allowing Grainland to start the shuttle loader project.
It is located near Grainland's crop production facility northeast of Holyoke, just off Highway 23 on County Road 41.
A major aspect of the project was the construction of eight concrete silos that will hold an additional 1.4 million bushels of Grainland commodities. Construction on the silos began in February with the intention of completing the project by the time the 2014 wheat harvest rolls around.
Eight Grainland Co-op silos were recently constructed northeast of Holyoke as part of its shuttle loader project. The project is slated for completion in late summer of 2014.
"We're really happy we're back on schedule," Grainland general manager Rick Unrein said. "We got behind in the spring with the moisture setting us back. At one point we were behind by about 30 days. We have caught up since then, so we are very pleased with the progress."
Unrein said he hopes the new silos help give Grainland a competitive advantage on the wheat side of things.
"Obviously we are going to be looking for volume," Unrein said. "We're going to need some volume to go through the facility in order to help pay for it, and we hope to get that volume through some competitive bidding."
With the underground work being completed during the summer, the silos now stand 140 feet tall. Construction on the roof was slated to begin this week. From there, all of the grain-handling equipment will be installed and the electrical work will need to be completed. The facility will house state of-the-art dust equipment.
With the new capabilities, Unrein said they will hire a maximum of three more people right now, but said he hopes they get busy enough where they will be able to bring in five new people.
"It's a great feeling," Unrein said. "We're excited about the possibility of it. We won't realize all that it can do for us until we get it up and get some experience with it. We're going to be learning, too. We'll need to get some experience with the equipment and all of the logistics that go along with having a train loader."

I decided I would post a few of my maps made with tutorials from around the site. These were done in the past few years. I do not consider them to be indicative of where I want to end up, but even with my low skill level, I feel they are intriguing maps.
The first is Vicatu- one of my maps done about 3-4 months ago using the Ascension style in GIMP tutorial. I liked this map so much I turned it into a Civilization 5 mod. The pics posted here are of the map with borders and of the map with borders and some crude marking of major settlements. There is somewhat of a story, but the nations are not at all fleshed out as I would like. Much to do as far as that goes
The second is Szofenfal- a map done last year using another style I can't recall. I'll edit this in a bit to reflect the correct tutorial. There is a much larger continent that this peninsula hangs off of, but I do not consider the work done on that to be good enough. I like the "reflection" on the rivers of this style map(too bad I didn't know the mechanics of them yet ), and I also like that the peninsula is cut off from the rest of the world by the large mountain range to the north, giving it a small world feel. The reality could not be any less, as there is much going on. In the southwest, there is a rebellion, with rebels from Firenes pitting themselves against the frightening army of Korzen for control of the rich port Callojac. In the northeast, a powerhouse, nearly unrivaled amongst nations, lies in Dorad. In the southeast, however, it is very much a small world, with gently rolling farm and grassland giving way to a quiet marsh in the corner, although, war is frequent and shows itself in scarred landscapes near Corad. In the north, the high hills near the mountains give a peaceful respite from the turmoils of the larger world.
I just want to thank the authors of the tutorials I used, you were obviously a huge help. Love all the maps here, and I hope to become pretty skilled at creating some new styles myself.

COLUMBIA, Md. (WUSA) --When you think of an NFL cheerleader, you may think glamorous, but does the word scientist come to mind too?
There's a reason why it should, we found an organization that has a lot of people cheering for science these days.
They have one of the most glamorous jobs in sports performing in front of a national audience on TV, but the messages these NFL and NBA cheerleaders are sharing at Hammond High School are only partially about their time in the bright lights.
Cheering is a part-time job, their full-tim occupations are in science! Talemesha has cheered for the Ravens and Redsksins, and has her PHD in Cellular Molecular Medicine.
"When you have an advanced degree you can chart your own path, you can figure out what you want to do with your life and create a position for yourself," explained Talemesha.
Teleza is also a Redskins Cheerleader. She's on track to becoming a pediatric oncologist.
"When someone meets me and they know that I cheer for the Redskins and they say what else to you do, and I say I'm in school seeking my degree in biology and chemistry, and they're like OH," Teleza said.
As they share their stories, they are smashing the sterotypes and becoming role models at the same time. That's what the non-profit, Science Cheerleaders, is all about.
If you have a cool school, send an email my way at email@example.com.

Born on June 20, 1940 in Manchester, England, Mahoney was forced to flee with his large family to Blackpool because of the Nazi bombing during the Battle of Britain in World War II, which started a mere few weeks after his birth. Once the war was over, the family moved back to Manchester where the 10-year-old son of a baker and an amateur pianist began performing as a member of the Stratford Children's Theatre. When he was 11, he traveled with his family to the United States, where one of his sisters had moved after marrying a U.S. serviceman, taking up residence in Illinois.

Reviews & Community
Not that small
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I first bought a medium in these, but they were too big. Then, I grabbed the small that came in and felt sure that it must fit. It is too big, too. It's mainly the loose low-riding waist. I can lean forward like on a bike seat without it falling, but can't lean over to pick something up without the waist sliding down. I thought they were supposed to be compressive but they definitely are not. I'm 5'4" 120 lbs.
RE: Campagnolo Sportswear Penny Cycling...
RE: Campagnolo Sportswear Penny Cycling Knicker - Women's.
I am 5'10" 145, 37-30-37. What size would work best for me?
Well, the chart shows a 'L' to go up to 30.5"waist, it would be very close; plus, most Italian clothes, including the bike clothes, tend to run smaller, smaller than their size charts show. Maybe a 'XL' (which is what I wear in the Italian lines) will give you more breathing room, and a pinch more room for those monthly 'fluctuations'!
Hope this Still Helps.
thanks, Debbie. I opted for a bib tights and knickers from giordana forma red (carbon) line instead. size medium fits well. glenda
For the skinny leg crowd
I am a thin short gal so I knew the length was going to be not quite right, but seriously, the elastic is almost cutting off circulation to my calves. Everything else, however, is fantastic. I'm going to keep these, but maybe one should consider the price to performance ratio before buying these.
Audrey, are you saying the 50% off sale price is still too steep for these knickers? I am 5'9' 145, waist 30 and hips 37 - cannot decide between medium and large. I live in my Sugoi RS knickers but was looking for a change and a longer knicker. Sugoi runs short on me. Thanks, Glenda
Take Notice
Everyone will take notice of you in these knickers. They are simply gorgeous.
The fit is so fantastic it will take your breath away for a moment. They feel wonderful.
The muscle support does just what it says. I feel energized when out on my bike.
And if you have to run a quick errand before changing, you will receive some very appreciative looks.
Don't miss out on them!
Fashion meets function
These would get 5 stars if they were thermal, other than that these are perfection. Love the Lake blue ones- thank you RealCyclist for giving me such a sweet deal on the price too.
Wear these on rides that begin with temps in the 40's and ending in the 70s+. Fabric is light weight and seems to repel wind. Definitley get the benefits of mucsle compression and the TriPro chamois keeps me comfortable for hours in the saddle.

As we get closer and closer to the mayoral primary election in Meridian, crime is a concern that remains front and center.
On this weekend's "On the Record" with John Johnson, Democratic candidate Percy Bland sits down with John to share his concerns about the city's recent string of armed robberies and shootings. Bland also shares the number one problem he says needs to be dealt with.
"I think one of the main things is leadership in the area of the police department has been lacking," he says. "Because we have had so much inconsistency and so much turnover in the position of chief that it's a concern of a leader. The mayor of that city brings that consistency."
On the Record airs Sunday at 5:30 p.m. on WTOK-TV.

The 2013 Sox have some serious lefty-righty split differentials:
Career OPS
vs RHPs vs LHPs Diff
Salty .774 .591 .183
Ortiz .972 .824 .148
Nava .768 .621 .147* (small sample size)
Drew .784 .699 .085
Ellsbury .803 .762 .035
D Ross .771 .764 .007
Ciriaco .723 .732 -.009
Pedroia .821 .853 -.032
Napoli .845 .911 -.066
Middlbrk .798 .906 -.108* (small sample size)
Victorino .730 .881 -.151
J Gomes .732 .894 -.162
As you can see, there are some great differentials on both sides of the plate.
A Gomes/Nava and Salty/Ross platoon is obvious and should help alot, but there are several others on this list that will essentially be close to black holes vs certain handed pitchers.
Papi appears to have dealt with his poor splits vs LHPs, but he is aging.
Drew and Victorino seem like they may be the biggest problem areas vs off-handed pitchers. Middlebrooks may also have issues, but the sample size is too small to project going forward.
I think we may have to see some line-up shuffling to maximize the amount of PAs by those with good records vs the type of starting pitcher on the mound.
I'd go with something like this....
vs RHPs vs LHPs
1) Ellsbury
2) Drew* Victorino
3) Pedey
4) Papi
5) Napoli
6) Midds
7) Nava* Gomes
8) Salty Ross
9) Victorino Drew
*I might flip nava and Drew if nava is on a good OBP kick, or if Drew is struggling.
Also, it might also be nice to find a way to move Gomes up in the order vs LHPs.

Caldecott winner, Allen Say has often created stunningly beautiful auto-biographical picture books about his childhood in Japan. His paintings in books such as Grandfather's Journey, Tree of Cranes, and Tea with Milk, among others, are memorable works of great beauty. Though his stories are always about children, often the stories are more adult than not. Now, with Drawing from Memory, Say tells us the story of how he became an artist. In the telling, we really do get to meet the school-aged boy who was single minded from the start about his dream of becoming the gifted artist that he is. Instead of the double page paintings that grace his picture books, the illustrations here are mostly small drawings, sketches, pen and ink drawings, cartoon frames and photographs. The story is told in the first person and Say comes across with a warmth and sense of humor that had to sustain him through some personally difficult times. Although this is marked for 10 and up, it is a moving story that middle school and even high school students, with aspirations in the arts, will find engaging. It is heartening to find a book where a young person recognizes how important the adults in his life were to him. So often in children's books we do not see the strong positive influence of adults portrayed. In fact the parents are often disposed of on page one. Here the reader learns that although Say's father was not there for him, the void was filled by a very significant other. It is a story that will speak not just to aspiring artists but children struggling with estranged parents and their own feelings. A gem!

Although it is a fictional account of the events in New Orleans, when Hurricane Katrina struck, the voice of the narrator, a 10-year old boy named Louis, who plays a coronet, captures some of the terror of that time. Colin Bootman's moving paintings combine perfectly with Myron Uhlberg's believable narrative that tells the story of one family's experiences as they drift into the watery world of the floods and the chaos of the dome where they went seeking shelter. Although 10 seems old for a narrator of a picture book, this feels totally on the mark. His Mama calls him her baby, but in the end it is Louis who proves he is anything but a baby. 7-11.

Fourth grader Sharon and First grader Mary are shocked when their parents decide to send their little two-year old brother DiDi to their grandparents in China for a year. Both their parents have jobs and that would mean DiDi would have to be in daycare. Their parents decide that family caring for him would be better. This story of an immigrant family introduces young readers to a set of circumstances that will be strange to many. Yet this kind of separation is not so strange to countless African Americans who were sent to Southern and Island families while their parents worked in Northern cities. DiDi's return is in many ways more unsettling than his departure. His attachment to the grandmother who brings him back is deep felt. So, too is his detachment from the family he is returned to. It's a small chapter book and intended for 2nd- 4th grade readers, so the short chapters and simple text hardly conveys how long a whole year can be or the ache of their separation. Although the children are young, the subject seems more appropriate for older students. Still, this is an interesting look into another culture. 8 & up.
