From the family farm, bangers and biscotti

Husband and wife Craig Thompson and Sarah Heffron moved from South Carolina to Harrisville to rehabilitate the old dairy farm a year ago.
This Saturday, Oct. 20, they'll celebrate the anniversary by conducting a farm tour at 10:30 a.m. and by serving some tasty farm treats at the end of the tour.
Thompson is the farmer, Heffron the chef.
He raises pigs, sheep, cattle, chickens and turkeys for meat and combines some of that meat with fresh herbs in a wide variety of sausages. Among the offerings: bangers, bratwurst, hot and sweet Italian links, chorizo, kielbasa and hot dogs.
"I'm really useful on a farm, and I'm really useful with livestock. I'm not very useful at anything else," Thompson said.
Heffron bakes the quiche, biscotti and gluten-free almond cakes that are sold in the Harrisville General Store, on their farm and at local farmers markets.
"I grew up around food," Heffron said. "My mom is a chef, and she had various businesses including catering."
Thompson sees diversification as the key to survival for small farms.
"Serve the farmers market needs, serve local customers' needs ... serve the local restaurant needs," he said.
The couple say they take a humane approach to raising happy animals on their family farm. Livestock are fed grass and grain that are hormone free and not genetically modified.
Thompson and Heffron encourage their 2-year-old son, Callan, to join in farm chores and say the biggest challenge this year in rehabilitating the old farm has been getting up in the middle of the night to tend to their newborn daughter, Fiona, who recently turned 1.
Mayfair (the farm's original name) dates back to the 1930s, when it was a dairy farm. The once 120-acre property is now 40 acres, Heffron said, adding that the rest of the land was placed in conservation by a previous owner.
The farm long ago ceased being a dairy operation, and the current owners have no plans to make it one again, so as part of the property's rehabilitation, they built a new barn.
"I grew up milking goats every day, so I wasn't interested in milking anything (here)," Thompson said.
To help Heffron with her food production, she and her husband also are constructing a new kitchen, which they say will eliminate her commute to a commercial facility for production during the farmers market season.
"One of our problems was keeping up with the demand, and that in part was because we had to rent a commercial kitchen in Peterborough one day a week," Heffron said.
During the summer, the Mayfair owners took their goods to farmers markets in Keene, Harrisville, Nelson and Peterborough. Customers also started coming to them, arriving at their farm at the end of Clymers Drive to buy meat and other products.
"There is a lot of local meat in the area, in the Monadnock region, but what we do is different," Heffron said. "We make our own sausage with fresh and local ingredients. It's definitely our most popular thing."
Especially at the farmers markets, sausage is often what snags the new customer, she said.
"They won't stop for a pork chop, but (they will) for a bratwurst," she said.
"It's something they can't get elsewhere," added Thompson, who is now planning to begin producing cured meats, such as smoked ham and pastrami.
"You go to a farmers market and that's one of the things that you don't find: cured meat," he said.
Mayfair is working toward having farm offerings year-round. Next summer, the strawberry patch will be ready for a pick-your-own business, Heffron said. The plan is to include raspberries the following year.
She and her husband also planted an apple orchard this past summer.
They are raising 50 turkeys for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving turkey isn't a big money maker for the farm, Thompson said, but it is a "gateway product."
"People who won't buy anything (else) from you will buy a Thanksgiving turkey from you, or they will buy a chicken," Thompson said.
He said he also introduced Christmas trees to the farm this year.
"How cool would that be, if people could come and get their Thanksgiving turkey here and then come back and get their Christmas tree?" he asked.
"That's a long way away," Heffron said.
The couple also are planning to host a farm dinner in the pasture next spring.
All are welcome at the farm tour Saturday, but Heffron is asking people to RSVP, so she can be sure to have enough food on hand. To RSVP, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Re: Question About Monolights (Specially Profoto D1's)
As Peter correctly answered, they are monolights, they do not need generators/power packs. But...
If you buy from the US, they will come with 110 V modeling lights. You will need to replace these with 220 V modeling lights before you attempt to plug them in. The lights themselves, including the flash tubes, are multivoltage. The halogen modeling lights are not.

and state. In 1945, he attended a national conference in Cleve-
land to consider suggestions for amending the Dumbarton Oaks
proposals for the founding of a united nations organization. He
was made chairman of the conference's committee on religious
liberty. Dawson stood squarely for "full religious freedom to be
established everywhere." He took the fight to the meeting of the
United Nations Organization in San Francisco carrying with him
a hundred thousand petitions from Baptists asking that the UN
charter guarantee full religious freedom for all persons. In 1947,
he addressed the Baptist World Alliance in Copenhagen on the
subject "Christianity and the United Nations." The next year
Dawson joined with others to found the organization of "Protes-
tants and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and
State." He has devoted much time and study to this cause. He is
no doubt one of the best informed men in America on the sub-
ject of church-state relations.
The volume under review is a lively and quite readable ac-
count of the life of a profound scholar and eminent church
leader whose contributions to the causes of social justice, religious
liberty, and separation of church and state are immeasurable.

In the 1970s, she moved to Paris, where she found the international spotlight through her work in jazz festivals. In the 1980s, Maria moved to New York, where she recorded hit albums and worked with some of the most renowned jazz artists in the world. On this 1994 episode of Piano Jazz, Maria performs her own composition "Carona," then solos in "Ta Tudo Certo." Originally broadcast in the fall of 1994. Catherine Russell: Sunny Side Of The Street By editor • May 12, 2016 Catherine Russell has been a backup singer with Steely Dan and David Bowie, but she's better known as an interpreter of blues and early jazz. At Jazz At Lincoln Center, Russell recently assembled a vocal trio (with Carolyn Leonhart and La Tanya Hall, her partners on tour with Steely Dan) to unearth a book of charts by arranger Sy Oliver. Jim Ferguson On Piano Jazz By editor • May 6, 2016 Bassist and vocalist Jim Ferguson got his start in South Carolina, where his father was a church music director. He picked up the bass late in high school and learned to play on the job before taking formal lessons. He went on to play with greats such as Teddy Wilson, Kenny Burrell, Mose Allison and Stephane Grappelli. On this episode of Piano Jazz from 2001, Ferguson joins host Marian McPartland to perform "While We're Young" and McPartland's "There'll Be Other Times." Originally broadcast in the spring of 2001.Set List Vanguard Jazz Orchestra: 50 Years Of Mondays By editor • May 5, 2016 In 1965, the trumpeter, composer and arranger Thad Jones and the drummer Mel Lewis found themselves with a book of big-band music originally intended for the Count Basie Orchestra — and nobody to perform it. So they made their own. They handpicked some of New York's top talent and called rehearsals on Monday nights, when the studio musicians could actually make it.

This really looks like something I should be able to find on Google, but for some reason I can't make heads or tails of it. There's the EDITOR environment variable, the ipy_user_conf.py file, the ipythonrc file, some weird thing about running gvim in server mode and a bunch of other stuff I can't wrap my head around (probably because of lack of sleep).
Is there a guide somewhere I can follow, or maybe someone can just outline the steps I need to take?

Chalk Painted Kitchen Cabinets6:00 AM
It wasn't that I didn't have the time to do this project,
frankly I was afraid to do it!
I've used chalk paint before and painted tons of furniture but this time...
What if I didn't like it?
What if I ruined it?
These cabinets are built in so there is no putting the ruined
project out to the curb...
Today, I went for it....
After all... my cabinets are a mess...
I can hardly make them look worse!
After months of sitting here staring at this cabinet and picturing it in the color I wanted, I took the plunge!
I rolled out butcher paper on my kitchen floor,
took off all the cabinet doors, and started painting...
I used Annie Sloan in Paris Grey.
I painted the center panel on one door with chalkboard paint
for a message center. I am going to line the inside of this door with cork for a hidden bulletin board.
I added bun feet that were left over from a headboard project...
I distressed all the edges then waxed the cabinet with
clear wax for protection.
And the cabinet is finally finished!
No need to kick this to the curb...
I'm thrilled with the results, I should have
started this project a long time ago!
Now I want the rest of the kitchen cabinets painted...
(but I think I'll hire someone this time!)
Now see the DIY on the rest of the kitchen!

Susan! Great choice. Love the color you chose and the chalkboard looks perfect!!!!! Beautiful!ReplyDelete
It turned out really nice. I've thought about painting my kitchen cabinets, but the idea overwhelms me. There's always tomorrow! :)ReplyDelete
Farmhouse hugs,
It looks great, Susan! I do know that feeling of trepidation, especially when it is something permanent as opposed to a piece of furniture you picked up at a yard sale. Love the color and the chalkboard you did on the one door.ReplyDelete
It looks beautiful!ReplyDelete
Love the color that you painted the cabinets...it turned out great!! Also love that you did one door in chalkboard paint!!ReplyDelete
So you don't want to tackle all the cabinets yourself? I am actually surprised by that! Will you do them the Paris gray?ReplyDelete
It looks wonderful Susan!! I have my paint, and all the supplies at the ready, but just can't muster the nerve to begin mine!! (sigh) this may have been the nudge I needed....ReplyDelete
One question, if you don't mind. Ok, two. Did you use a brush, inside and out? Did you use a roller for any if it, then brush over while wet?
Thanks so much,
Hi Lori,Delete
I know how you are feeling... just do it, it comes out wonderful! I used a brush on the indents and a small roller on the flat parts, there are no brush strokes. If you get any you can lightly sand them.
I can't wait to do the rest of mine! Good luck and send pics!
Painting kitchen cabinets is a long drawn out affair. I would hate to think that someone would have to come to my house so many times, so often. I'm glad I did mine. It seemed like it took forever, but they still make me smile!ReplyDelete
LOVE your cabinet, with the chalkboard. You did a great job Susan!
That looks fantastic!! Great job and I love the colours together with the countertop. Nice choice!!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful transformation. I love the color and the chalkboard door you added. I would love to paint my kitchen cabinets, but the job is just too overwhelming...I'd do nothing else for at least a month, lol. Thank you for the inspiration.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 9, 2013 at 1:39 PM
It looks so good! I understand you not wanting to paint all your cabinets yourself. I took that chore on a few years ago and it was quite a job! I had not heard of Annie Sloan paints then so had to sand, prime, and paint 3 coats and in the middle of all that we had a rainy spell and that make it take even longer. I also painted my kitchen walls so the entire process took 3 weeks! But I think with ASCP it would be so much easier! Love how yours turned out Susan! linReplyDelete
It looks fantastic! I love all your special touches, like the corbels and bun feet, too!ReplyDelete
Hello Susan,ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by and now I can see your cabinet clearer then on the phone. Looks great!
I painted just my island - black distressed and the crown trim on the top of the cabinets. I think I'd like them all black - except I want obscure glass in the uppers. But I too have not tackled the rest because I'm daunted my the size of the task.ReplyDelete
I am thinking of painting my kitchen cabinets and trimming them up with molding and "feet" to look like two different pieces of furniture. How do you find the right "feet" for the base? my cupboards were built in and are not a standard height. Do you have to special order?ReplyDelete
I would love your input here or by email email@example.com ThanksReplies
My feet were the knobs off the top of a bed :) You can also use unfinished finials from the fence section of Home DepotDelete
What did you paint the knobs and hinges with? Mine are Brass colored and would like to change the look.ReplyDelete
thanks wandaReplies
The knobs are original... no paint on them :)Delete
Thanks for this post!!..It looks great! I have just started to paint my kitchen cabinets with ASCP. I am getting brush strokes? I see where you used a roller. I had heard that a roller wasted to much of the paint?? But I am willing to use a roller if it helps. Your thoughts on this please..ReplyDelete
Thanks Renee'
Thank you for stopping by, I love your comments and I will do my best to reply to all your questions and comments. Please make sure your settings will accept emails so I can get back to you...
Have a nice day.

I'm a graduate student at MIT taking an entrepreneurship class. I'm working with a local Cambridge start-up and we're working on a new rear bike light.
I would love to hear what your frustrations are with the current lights on the market and if there are anything you wished a rear bike light would do that it currently doesn't.
I appreciate any feedback that I can get.

Fax / Answering machine is hard to beat
If you need a fax / answering machine Panasonic is about the only one left to handle this feature. I also am done with ink jets, fax film, jamming fax machines. Laser printing is a no brainer now and this works great. This product is basically a office workhorse. Panasonic is not the easiest machines to set up and change settings but this does have a built in web server that you can change settings from your computer though your network. I expect many years of service from this machine.

Inmates use woodworking skills to make Toys for Tots
Posted by Mark DuFrene on 12/04/2012 3:57pm PDT tags: photo
We check in at Elmwood Correctional Facility where inmates made about 450 wooden toys during the last year for the Santa Clara County Toys for Tots program. Inmates working in the facility's wood shop learn wood working and wood-turning skills enabling them to make a variety of simple toys such as basic cars that are little more than a block of wood with wheels on up to very intricate toys such as a rocking horse. During the past 12 years, Elmwood inmates have created some 3,300 toys for the program.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts are in full juggling mode along the offensive line.
Starting left tackle Anthony Castonzo is likely to miss Sunday's game with an ankle injury. Backup left tackle Ben Ijalana is on injured reserve with a torn ACL. Right guard Ryan Diem is still trying to recover from a sprained left ankle, and the Colts may have to play musical chairs against Kansas City.
On Wednesday, the Colts signed veteran tackles Michael Toudouze, who played the last four seasons in Indy, and former Falcon and Patriot Quinn Ojinnaka.
But the Colts need more than bodies. They need blockers who can protect starting quarterback Curtis Painter against a league that will gladly exploit Indy's glaring problems.

Take the noun, onus, as a formal word for responsibility or obligation. If your teacher assigns onus as a vocabulary word, it puts the onus on you to find out what it means.
Onus is a formal or sophisticated way to say "responsibility" or "duty." It sounds a little like the unrelated word owner, so think about the person with onus as owner of the responsibility. If the onus is on you to organize a fund raiser, you have to set the whole thing up. Have you ever heard the legal term onus probandi? It means the burden of proof, which requires the accuser to prove the case against the accused.
Definitions of onus
n an onerous or difficult concern
- Synonyms:
- burden, encumbrance, incumbrance, load
- Types:
- show 4 types...
- hide 4 types...
dead weight
an oppressive encumbrance
a burden (figuratively in the form of a bundle)
an uncalled-for burden
something unpleasant or offensive that must be tolerated or endured

$7.2 million
Reed will go down as one of the best safeties to ever play the game. In his 11th season, he still demonstrated an uncanny knack for the timely interception (4 on the year). But Baltimore's defense has been a weak point all year. Age (he's 34) may be slowly creeping up on him, and his salary may be a bit much. Not worth it.

- Santiago has 220 days of rain a year. Take waterproofs.
I thought that the group was too large. You advertise 12 to 15. We had 16.
The booking system was poor. two of us in the group were told that our flight left at 3.55pm which was altered 3 weeks before we left. Everyone else was given the correct departure time on booking. 2 were told that they could not fly from Gatwick and one was told that he could.
The customer service was amazing. I lost my mobile 'phone which was found and my daughter contacted. She contacted Explore who managed to arrange the delivery of the phone to the hotel in Santiago.
The highlights were the daily walking and visits to the churches en route. The tours of Leon and Santiago. Other highlights were the delicious octopus and the reasonably priced wine and beer.
This wasn't my favourite walking holiday for its terrain and beauty but for many it is a pilgrimage which creates a unique atmosphere.

It was announced Wednesday that Tim Tebow would be returning to his analyst role with the network this weekend. Tebow rejoin SEC Network's SEC Nation, its two-hour College GameDay-esque pregame show, which will be shot on location in Nashville before Georgia and Vanderbilt play (on CBS!).
Just in time for Nashville! Are we lucky ducks or what?

As someone who once saw Georgia Tech authorize placing urinal cakes with a bulldog image on them in the toilets at gracious Bobby Dodd Stadium, let me just say that I don't share the author's sense of outrage over what some random fan did at the SECCG.
On the other hand, I am highly amused that someone thought this was important enough to let Clay Travis know about it.

DOUBLE SNAP MOLDING CLIP Filed June l1, 1951 Pefented Mar. 17, 1953 UNITED STATES PATENT GFFICE Ougljesa Jules Poupitch, Itasca; Illassignerv to IllinoisI Tool Works; Chica'gogflll'., a corporationof` Illinoisy Applicationlune 11, 1951v, SeriaLNo. 23.05880 7' Claims. (01; 24d-73') This application. relates. generally to. fastening devices. and particularly to fastening devices ca.- pable of being usedto secure molding strips. and the like. in, I Jlaee.V
Various clips heretofore have been constructed for securing molding strips. inpl'ace. Such clips generally havev been usable withl only. one size molding strip and therefore it. has. beenneoessary to. utilizey clips. of different sizesf for securing tapered. moldings place;w Other. clipshave. been devised. having non-circular head portions.. rotatable. into position. to.` bridge a. channeled molding strip and thus-to. secure molding strips oidifferer1-t, sizes or to securetapered molding strips.
An .objectof this .invention isto provide a clip for'securing moldings or. the like, said clip. having an. elongated; headI adapted. to engage the. molding over a substantial' length.. and thereby affording incr-.eased stability and improved adaptation. to secure: tapered moldings.
Another objeotvofjthis invention is` to. provide an improved molding clip receivable in an. aperturefinar Worlepanel in constant positionregardless ot the width of. the moldingor. the like. tobe secured. by the. clip..
Another. object ot. this, invention is to. provide a clipfor. securing tapered moldings.y wherein. the clip-has spring. membersA engageablewith arnold.- ingjtofforce. the molding tightly against'. a. panel.
At-urther. object of this invention isto provide a. molding; clip. adapted; to be. preassembledi with thec1ip.y head, engaging. a. molding in. one position allowing; utmost freedom of the. clip for assembly and engaging the moldingf in'. another position. to seourathe molding snugly against a panel'.4
Other and; further. objectsand advantages of the. presenty inventionV will; be. apparent. from. the following; description when readY in connection with the accompanying drawingwhereinz.
Fig.. 1. isav perspective view. showing a molding securedzvbythe clips disclosed herein.;`

Fi'g. 7.' isa perspectivefviewof the-back side of a molding strip showing clipsspreassembled. therewith.;- and Fig; Si showsclin-blame' as. originally struck 2. from. sheetv metal and previous tofolding and bending.
The` molding clip forming the subject mattei-fof this invention may' be seenY mostclearlyl its over-al1' aspects in the'perspectiveview of Fig. 2f. The. molding clip includes a` bodyportion H11 and a head including a pair ofv arms |12. The body portion l includes an end section lilL which'` in the disclosed'. embodiment;v isV substantially square configuration, but may bev any'shape to adapt itfor its particular use'. Elongated-mountingor snap in ngers i6 extend from opposite` sides of the end section It. The ngers diverge slightly and are terminated by inturned'tips t8" which are disposed. at obtuse angles' relative to the` main portions of the fingersy H5 and? which are curved ati their extremities at 21').
Apair of legs Z2 extends romthetworemaining edges of the end portion I4; The legs 22 diverge slightly and areY reversely bent at 24 atz a distance. from the er1-dA portion I4 substantially equal to. the end to end length of' each off the ingers i6 including the inturn'edv tipsu lil thereona The reversel'y bent leg. portions 21% are formed integrally with the arms l2 which areeonsidere ably elongated transversely of the bodyi portion IU. Each of 'the armsZZ presents a substantially Srshaped cross section affording a retaining shoulder it andan outer'edge or no2-; a groove 30 being, defined between each shoulder 2'6 and. 1m28.
The. clip forming the subject matter" of this invention is. stamped" from sheet metal"j asA shown irrFig. Sandis substantiallyy in the form cfay pair of; letter Es arranged back to back; The" arms i2legs 2K2, and. fingers te includingthe tips I8 thereof then. are bent into. the configuration shown. in Fig.. 2. and described' heretofore. The clip then preferably is, heat treated' to rendern; resilient..
A moldingA such. as. may be secured by vrnyclip is; illustrated in Figs. 1. and" 34-611and is identified generally by the numeral 32. The molding 32 comprises an elongated.y substantially channel*- shaped. centrali body portion. 3d?. of any desired configuration and4 having longitudinally extend#- ing irl-turned flanges' 35 opposing one another along the opposite longitudinal edges ofv the'central body portion. TheY molding is adapt/edf to be. secured to a panel 33, suchl as'theside-off an automobileibody, and this panel includes spaced apertures-d0. In Fig. l, part' of'the'mold-ingor molding. strip 3 2' has' been brokenv away and* the portion removed is shown in dotted lines-'in-order best.. to illustrate the cooperation'- offv the mold-l ing with the apertures 40. In order to mount the molding 32 on the panel 38, several of the molding clips are preassembled with the molding in spaced relation in accordance with the spacing between the apertures 40. The clips are preassembled with the molding strip by fiexing the legs 22 slightly toward one another to engage the molding fianges 26 with the grooves 30 of the clip head as shown in Fig. 3. The various clips then are positioned in the apertures 40, the fingers I6 exing toward one another entirely independently of the arms I2 and then springingr outwardly with the tips IB impingng against opposite edges of the apertures 40 as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. With the molding mounted on the grooves 30 as just set forth, the clips have utmost freedom and their positions relative to the apertures 40 readily can be gauged visually.v
After the clips have been inserted in the position shown in Figs. 4 and 5, continued pressure on the molding strip 32 causes the flanges 36 to clamp or snap over and beneath the shoulders 26 as shown in Fig. 6. The narrowness of the fingers I6 compared with the legs 22 and the favorable camming angle of the fingers I6 and edges of the apertures 40 compared with the camming angles between the arm shoulders 26 and molding flanges 36 insures complete seating of the clips before engagement of the flanges behind the shoulders. The resiliency of the clip including the arms I2 causes the shoulders 26 to clamp the flanges 36 against the channel 38 to draw the molding tightly into place.
The molding clips as disclosed herein have particular applicability to the mounting of tapered moldings as may be seen in Fig. 7. Toward the right hand end of the molding section 32a shown in Fig. 7, the flanges 36a are relatively far apart and the clip legs 22 diverge as in Figs. 3, 4 and 6. As the confronting flanges 36a are not parallel, the legs 22 ,twist slightly to allow the arms 22 to engage the flanges 36a throughout the lengths of the arms. At the left hand end of the molding clip in addition to the twisting of the arms 22, the arms are deflected toward one another due to the close approach of the flanges 36a to one another at that location.
The fiexing of the legs 22 toward one another is accomplished relatively readily due to the length of the legs 22. The length of the arms I2 results in greater stability of the clips on the molding and further provides long lever arms twisting the legs 22, and the length of these legs allows them to twist readily, to allow the arms I2 to secure the moldings 32a over substantial lengths rather than with essentially point contact as is done with many other clips. As the fingers and tips I8 thereon are joined to the legs 22 only through the intermediary of the end section I4, twisting and flexing of the legs 22 has no effect on the fingers I6 which continue to engage the opposite sides of each aperture 40 as before.
The clip disclosed herein is admirably suited for securing moldings or the like having different transverse dimensions and particularly is adapted for mounting tapered moldings. The clips are assembled with a molding in a position affording utmost freedom of the clips and the clips then readily are inserted in apertures in a work panel, the inserted position being independent of the proximity or relative angular disposition of the longitudinal flanges of the molding. The clip is simply and economically fabricated and secures moldings, particularly tapered moldings, with a 4 facility and snugness heretofore unknown in the ar The embodiment of the invention herein shown and described is for illustrative purposes only. Various changes obviously can be made within the spirit and scope of the appended claims and the right hereby is reserved to make such changes.
I claim:
l. A spring clip including a pair of retaining members each having a shoulder adapted to engage and secure opposed longitudinal edges of a channeled work piece and a retaining lip spaced outwardly from said shoulder and reversely bent relative thereto, said retaining lips also being adapted to engage and secure said opposed longitudinal edges whereby said clip can be preassembled with a channeled work piece and extend therefrom for assembly with an apertured panel, spring means interconnecting said pair of retaining members whereby the spacing therebetween can be varied to accommodated channeled work pieces having oppositely disposed longitudinal edges spaced variantly, and attaching means joined to said spring means and adapted to t within an aperture to secure said channeled work piece against a panel.
2. A spring clip including a head portion having elongated arms, each of said arms having elongated shoulder portions adapted to engage opposed longitudinal edges of a channeled work piece to secure said work piece against a panel and a lip reversely bent relative to said shoulder, said lips being adapted to engage said opposed edges for preassembly of said clip and said channeled work piece, spring means interconnecting said arms whereby the spacing between said arms can be varied to accommodate channeled work pieces having opposed longitudinal edges spaced variantly, and attaching means joined to said spring means and adapted to fit within an aperture to secure said channeled work piece against a panel.
3. A spring clip including a pair of elongated, relatively narrow spring legs, means interconnecting said legs vat one end of each of said legs, an elongated arm on the free end of each of said legs and arranged transversely relative thereto, each of said arms including an elongated retaining lip adapted to engage opposed longitudinal edges of a channeled work piece for preassembly of said clip and work piece and further including a retaining shoulder spaced inwardly from said lip to secure said channeled work piece against a panel, said elongated spring legs readily fiexing and twisting to facilitate assembly of said Aclip with said work piece, and attaching means interconnected with said legs and adapted to fit Within an aperture to secure said channeled work piece against a panel.

Poem in Your Pocket Day 2014: Thursday, April 24Submitted by Rob Hardy on Mon, 04/14/2014 - 1:11pm
As part of National Poetry Month, the Northfield Arts and Culture Commission (ACC) will be placing boxes of poems in twelve city locations beginning Thursday, April 24th in celebration of Poem in Your Pocket Day. Community members are invited to take a poem or two from one of the red boxes on display across Northfield and share them with others throughout the day. In response to business owners' requests to maintain the boxes of poetry for more than one day this year, the ACC has extended the event for several days beyond April 24th – as long as there are poems still available in the boxes!
Begun in 2002 by the Office of Mayor Bloomberg of New York City in partnership with their Department of Cultural Affairs and Education, in 2008 the Academy of American Poets embraced the Poem in Your Pocket project as a national endeavor. Schools, communities, libraries, and a wide range of organizations across the country now celebrate poetry in this exciting way.

Patterns Shifting: on the subject of climate change, a Northfield focusSubmitted by Amy Acheson on Thu, 01/16/2014 - 6:53am
On Saturday, January 18th, Northfield will host its first community-wide discussion on the subject of climate change. Meteorologist and entrepreneur Paul Douglas will be the keynote speaker beginning at 9:30 a.m. at St. Olaf College with a talk entitled, "Climate Change: Natural Cycle or Troubling Trend?" Attendees are encouraged to bring ideas, questions and concerns to contribute to the important discussions at this event.
According to Meteorologist Paul Douglas, "Healthy skepticism is an attribute, a necessary coping skill in a time of scams, hackers and endless corporate hype. I was initially skeptical of climate change in the 1980s and early 90s, but by the end of the 90s I was seeing some inexplicable and unnerving changes showing up on the weather maps I was studying on a daily basis. Something had changed. Patterns were shifting, with an apparent increase in the frequency and intensity of weather extremes, a trend that accelerated during the first decade of the 21st century.

Fiscal crisis takes toll on California's bond ratings
As our friends in Sacramento continue their trench warfare over the $23.7 billion budget deficit, one thing they seem to forget is that by the very act of stalling on budget compromises, they are tacking billions of dollars onto our ultimate debt.
Thanks to our budgetary slugfest, the three major bond rating agencies – Fitch Ratings, Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's – have lowered their ratings on state and municipal bonds.
Last week, Fitch lowered its rating on California general obligation bonds from A-to BBB, just two notches above junk bond level. The only other U.S. territory with such a low rating is Puerto Rico. Fitch says that it's considering whether to set the rating even lower, "based on the state's continued inability to achieve timely agreement on budgetary and cash-flow solutions to its severe fiscal crisis."
State Treasurer Bill Lockyer estimates that if the other two ratings agencies follow Fitch's lead, it will result in an additional $7.5 billion in credit costs over 30 years, not including the effect on municipalities, whose credit ratings are also affected by state downgrades.
"Fortunately, Fitch is only one ratings agency," said Lockyer's spokesman, Tom Dresslar. "The other two are taking a more cautious approach – giving us a little more time to get our act together."
Moody's ranks California bonds at A2, which is a solid, investment-grade rating – but also the lowest rating of any state. Only two other states are close to that level: Louisiana and Illinois. The average rating for the states is Aa2, three notches above California.
Moody's is warning it may lower California's rating further. Early this month, it lowered its ratings on several municipal bond issuers in the state to Baa2, equivalent to Fitch's BBB. Among the issuers Moody's downgraded was the San Diego-Imperial Counties Service Foundation, which aids the developmentally disabled.
Those agencies weren't downgraded because of anything they'd done wrong, but rather because they depend on the state for much of their funding – and Moody's has doubts about the reliability of that pipeline.
Standard & Poor's has been a bit milder. Most of its ratings on California bonds are still well within investment-grade status. But it, too, has been chipping away at the municipalities. Last week, for instance, it cut the San Diego Housing Authority from AAA – S&P's second-highest rating – to AA-, several points lower on its scale.
The lower those ratings go, the riskier California bonds look to investors. The riskier they look, the more money the state and its municipalities have to shell out to attract buyers.
"Every dollar that goes to bond investors represents a dollar that you can't use to educate kids, provide health care or take care of the elderly and infirm," Dresslar said.
California general obligation bonds now pay around 6 percent in interest, compared with 4.20 percent on U.S. Treasury bills and around 4.5 to 4.75 percent on bonds from states such as Texas that have been less affected by the financial crisis.
To put California's problems into perspective, keep in mind that we're not the only state facing severe budget problems.
A recent report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a budget analysis group in Washington, D.C., found that only two states have been able to balance their budgets this year: North Dakota and Montana.
Thanks to the recession, which has resulted in a sharp drop in tax revenue and increased demand for public services, most states have had record-breaking funding gaps.
Arizona's funding shortfall equaled 41 percent of its budget, second only to California's gap of 58 percent, the center says. (That figure includes $34 billion that California has already clipped out of the budget in addition to the remaining deficit.) The gaps in Alaska, Nevada, Illinois and New York were all above 30 percent, and a dozen other states were above 20 percent.

I recently purchased this exhaust for my GSX-S750Z, received it quickly with no issues what so ever. Sounds great, deep and loud! just as I imagined. Also was really easy to install. I highly recommend this exhaust.
Rick (Rogers )
Good fit and as described.
Matthew (kathleen )
I'm very happy with this purchase. I bought it for my 2016 Ninja ZX6R, and couldn't be happier with the sound, and performance. Was a little bit of a struggle trying to get the pan out with the back wheel which I know would have been much easier with a rear stand which I don't have. Other than that, great product.
This is a great exhaust system very loud for cars to hear me.....

The Future is Unmanned
AeroVironment is a world leader in the design and manufacture of small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Since the introduction of Pointer in 1987, considered by many to be the first true small UAS for military use, AeroVironment's unmanned aircraft systems have supported U.S. and allied Armed Forces with reconnaissance data, helped protect endangered wildlife and preserve the environment.
AeroVironment's UAS continue to set the standard for delivering increasingly valuable capabilities in the most challenging conditions. These systems are used extensively by the U.S. military and allied forces to help establish intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) superiority on the front lines of today's hot zones. In fact, AeroVironment has won every United States Department of Defense competition for programs of record involving small UAS.
UAS have more than proven their value in the military world. Today, UAS are utilized for applications closer to home.
