Marin: Wealthy in Wine
Post by Chuck Hayward | June 13th, 2011
Major wine tastings usually follow one of two basic formats. One focuses on a single variety, as with ZAP or the upcoming Pinot Days. The other centers on geography, like those hosted by the Wines of Spain or the Sonoma County Vintners Association tasting to be held in San Francisco in July. The problem with some of these bigger geography-based events (the Sonoma tasting will cover 12 different subregions) is that there is so much to take in, everything runs together and wines start blending into each other.
That was not the case with 7th Annual Marin County Wine Celebration—one of the more unique tastings I've had the fortune to attend. In order to raise funds for the Marin Agricultural Land Trust (MALT), an organization dedicated to preserving land for agricultural purposes in the county, an assortment of pinot noirs (and a rare white here and there) were poured by 14 wineries. Most were fairly new with a few pouring their first-ever efforts. To witness the gradual progress being made in this small growing region is truly exciting.
While Marin County wines are newcomers to the current wine scene, the area itself boasts a significant history, largely forgotten until the latest plantings began to take root. Though it was very likely that Spanish settlers planted grapes when they founded the mission in San Rafael in the early 1800s, grape growing really gained momentum in the late 1800s. Back then, Escalle Winery, where the tasting was held in Larkspur, was a frequent tourist destination for San Franciscans on weekend getaways of wine drinking and picnics in the estate's gardens. Other vineyards were located in San Rafael and Fairfax on hills along today's "Golden Mile."
Contemporary winemaking began in the early 1970s, when cabernet grapes were grown at Pacheco Ranch, located just off Highway 101. Philip Togni, then winemaker at Cuvasion Winery, discovered this fruit and fashioned a 1973/74 cabernet blend that became the wine in Marin County during its fern bar heyday. Later, Mark Pasternak would plant grapes at Devil's Gulch, Ranch, which was quickly gaining a reputation for farm-raised meats and vegetables. The first grapes ended up in sparkling wine made by Kalin Cellars and are now used by Schramsberg.
Marin County pinot noir did not enter the market until 1990 when Dan Goldfield (formerly of La Crema & Hartford Court, now Dutton Goldfield) began using Pasternak's fruit. It's safe to say that Marin County pinot noir would not be where it is today if not for that successful working relationship between Pasternak and Goldfield.
Since those early days, the increase in plantings has been slow but steady. Today, 200 acres of fruit in Marin County are planted in ten or so sites and used by some 20 producers who are currently producing pinot noir, though small amounts of chardonnay, cabernet and gewurztraminer are also made. Production is quite small, as the wines I tasted were made in amounts as low as 50 cases to no more than 700. Yet they were exciting, showing distinct and unique attributes and were surprisingly good values.
Stay tuned for the next post, where I will delve deeper into those wines.

STOCKTON - Two documented Ripon gang members have been sentenced to at least nine years in state prison after being convicted of attempted carjacking with gang enhancements.
Salvador Junior Moya, 24, and Luis Alejandro Machuca, 21, were tried separately. Machuca had been sentenced in September, but Moya's sentence was handed down this week, according to First Sgt. Steve Merchant of the Ripon police.
Moya and Machuca had tried to carjack a Honda Civic in the 200 block of East Frontage Road on Aug. 3. After they jumped into the car, they realized a 11-year-old boy was still in it. They hit him in the head.
At that point, family members came to the aid of the child, and Moya and Machuca ran off.
Machuca was taken into custody within an hour. Ripon police, with the aid of Stanislaus County officials, arrested Moya a month later in a south Modesto grocery store parking lot.
Machuca and Moya both pleaded guilty to carjacking with the enhancement of participating in a street gang in the commission of a felony.

Few of us are given an opportunity to travel the country and learn about different cultures. These 22 high schoolers from the DC Metro area are given such an opportunity to learn about African American and Jewish culture, and see places they've only read about in history. They are part of a group called Operation Understanding DC to help students learn about the Civil Rights Movement and how they can improve their communities today.
Eliana Kanefield, a senior from Washington D.C., says for her, it's been about witnessing historical places in person. "Being in some places that have been touched by history so much makes you want to go out and change the world even more. I've seen how far we've come, but that only makes me realize how much further we do have to come."
Speaking with those who lived during the Civil Rights Movement, like Bill Ready, Sr. and Roscoe Jones, shows students the importance or learning about others.
"Well, the one thing that I would love for them to take away is the fact that in life, learning, education, just to say you are an educated person is to be well-rounded, and by coming here, it will make them more well-rounded, and to take away the fact that people are people wherever you go, just get to know them," Roscoe Jones, director of Freedom 64, says.
The knowledge about other cultures gained from this trip will help the students touch the lives of those around them.
Jeffrey Billingslea, a senior from Potomac, Virginia, wants to "see how I can use that past knowledge to help my peers out today who I see sorta struggling and not trying to learn their history or not trying to learn other cultures and histories so I can educate them and educate myself, my family, everyone, everyone I can touch to see how I can improve them and the community I'm in."
Students now will take what they've learned and look to improve their own home communities...and hopefully, make a difference in the world. Students will continue on to Jackson before heading to the Delta this weekend.

as for subtitles, in PMS.conf try changing
- Code: Select all
mencoder_ass = true
- Code: Select all
mencoder_ass = false
if that doesn't work, it seems later versions of mencoder may have problems with subtitles. you could try downgrading mplayer/mencoder and see if that works.
srinicame, if the .torrent and data files are in a persistent location that is mounted in the live cd environment then yes.

Well, her name is Shocked. And she did.
Michelle Shocked told an audience at Yoshi's in San Francisco on Sunday night that "God hates (pejorative used to describe homosexuals)" and that she lives in fear of same-sex marriage.
She apparently was serious. And, as one can imagine, that didn't play well in San Francisco.
She also reportedly said "I live in fear that the world will be destroyed if gays are allowed to marry."
According to sfist.com, many in the audience left the show. Later, Shocked supposedly wrote on Twitter "You can go on Twitter and say 'Michelle Shocked says God hates (pejorative).'"
After years of being considered a progressive-leaning indie rocker -- who once identified herself as bisexual -- Shocked has become a born-again Christian in recent years, joining the Pentecostal West Angeles Church of God in Christ in Los Angeles.
On Monday, the HopMonk Tavern in Novato canceled Shocked's March 29 show there, citing her comments at Yoshi's, as did S.P.A.C.E., a club outside of Chicago. At Moe's Alley in Santa Cruz, the show was listed as canceled, hours after Bill Welch told the Santa Cruz Sentinel he wanted to speak to Shocked before deciding whether to go ahead with her scheduled March 28 show.
According to sfist, Shocked, whose real name is Karen Johnston, was born to a Mormon mother. In a 2005 interview with New York magazine, she discussed her religion, alcoholism, failed marriage, and her "political" decision at age 22 to have her tubes tied, which she later regretted after multiple failed attempts at in-vitro fertilization. She said her original decision was motivated by her desire never to be tempted to have an abortion.
"I knew there was going to come a time in my life where I would want to speak vehemently about a woman's right to choose without having it turned back on me, saying you're acting out of guilt and shame because you had an abortion. I made the ultimate sacrifice."

Puru Govind has posted a short article about the controversy over what to call our favorite OS: Linux or GNU/Linux.
For many of us here, this is an old controversy and a constant source of angst and frustration. I know I've given up trying to convince my friends and colleagues to use the more respectful term (GNU/Linux!). I just make sure I use it in my own speech and, if anyone asks, I'm happy to explain. I'm curious about the folks here. Do you bother to correct people who say "Linux" when referring to the OS?
We, at FSM, use GNU/Linux
For reasons of correctness we use GNU/Linux here at FSM.
I personally feel that correcting people can be a little annoying for them and tedious for me. I prefer to use the correct term when I'm speaking or writing in the hope that it will catch on.
There is, however, an inherent problem in turning the tide regarding this matter: geeks prefer efficiency. This does make it a bit of an uphill battle.
Perhaps we should try to abbreviate it further and call it "G/L". This would represent both parties equally and keep geeks happy (whether it appeases their genuine desire for efficiency or appeals to their laziness).
What do you think? Would it be too hard to try another solution?
"Politically" I'm absolutely
"Politically" I'm absolutely on Stallman's side. That OS we use is much more GNU, than Linux - altough both parts are necesarry. But:
- "Linux" is just shorter
- Also many non-geeks know by now that there is an OS that's competing with Windows and Mac. And they know this OS by the name "Linux". It'd be difficult for them to learn a new name like "GNU/Linux", "GNU+Linux" or "G/L".
My Thoughts
Thanks for the responses, fellows. It's great to talk about this issue with folks who are friendly towards FS! Anyway, my professional opinion as a rhetorician is that saying "GNU/Linux" is not any harder to say than "Mac OS X," "Microsoft Windows," or "Amiga DOS." Once you establish the context, though, it's almost always easier just to use the last part (i.e., once someone knows which one you're talking about.) So, if I started a conversation with "Mac OS X," and you nodded in understanding, I might just say "X" from that point on. I see this same convention observed mostly in writing, even with names. No one says "Richard Matthew Stallman" everytime. Instead, they abbreviate to "Stallman" or even "RMS" after an initial usage.
On the other hand, it's pretty clear that the insistence on "GNU/Linux" is more political than practical. Saying the full name is a way of identifying with Stallman's side rather than Raymond's. Unfortunately, the "open source" side has done a very good job of painting its rival as a bunch of raving, foaming-mouth fanatics. Someone who has heard something of this slander may be especially prickly if told to "quit saying Linux, it's GNU/Linux! It's incorrect to say Linux unless you're talking about the kernel!" This person will likely think to himself, "Yeah, I've heard all about people like you." In other words, trying to do a good thing by correcting people (and trying to coerce them to use the proper term) might actually be doing more harm than good for the movement.
Again, I come back to the simple position to lead by example rather than coercion. If I say "GNU/Linux" enough times, someone is going to ask, "Why don't you just say Linux?" Then I can explain the issue without sounding like a fanatic (after all, they asked).
Old habits die hard
Everyone and I refer to those thousands of users not carrying about anything but having their tasks accomplished knows some things about �Linux �.
So, I think its useless unless you try the meek approach of using and explaining when you are asked why you refer in such manner to Linux (GNU/Linux).
What will happen when HURD will be out ? :))
It's a bit difficult to say "GNU/Linux" in speech in my native language. The Czech word for "slash" - lomeno - consists of three syllables, not just one. Nevertheless, I really try to use it at proper occasions. Actually it's easy to talk either directly about the distribution I use (then I call the system just "Debian", because I refer to debian-specific stuff) or about the kernel only (then I say "Linux", because I only talk about device drivers, modules etc.). And for everyone who says "Linux" for the convenience of it, even though politically they agree with Stallman: believe me that saying just "GNU" is shorter. For example when the topic is flamewar, it's usually "GNU vs. Windows" for me, because in the end it doesn't really matter whether Windows will be beaten by GNU/Linux or GNU/kFreeBSD. :) Thus IMO situations when you can't avoid talking about "GNU/Linux" are surprisingly rare. The pacisift approach (saying GNU/Linux and explaining only when they ask) seems good enough for me, although several times I met people so horribly ignorant that I had to insist on explaining.
Most are ignorant
Linux is the name that was given in the media, and therefore it is what sticks in people minds. I do not force them to use GNU/Linux, since I see no need in it. Like I say Windows, and not Microsoft Windows the whole time. I guess it is how you feel about it. Personally I do not care to be politically correct the whole time, that might be the problem/solution.
Isn't it ironic that the
Isn't it ironic that the organization which fought so hard to eliminate the advertising clause from the BSD is now trying to insist on the same treatment for themselves? The reasoning behind the 4-clause BSD is the same that Stallman tries to invoke for including "GNU" into the name (roughly 'we put lots of effort into it, so we should control how it is referred to'). The only distinction (to his credit) is that Stallman is not attempting to force this through legal means -- just by shunning people (there's a smart PR move for you).
But, just as with the BSD, this doesn't scale. However historically important it once was, GNU is now a minority in the free-licensed open source software community. Should we be expected to enumerate every major contributor to the O/S we know and love? Is it to be the "Debian GNU/X.org/KDE/OpenOffice.org/OpenSSL/Apache/Mozilla/Gimp/Blender/Python/Perl/Ruby/PHP/Linux" system that I must advocate to my friends?
Seriously, that gets old fast. And while there's no question that the "GNU" project made important contributions, the kernel is the defining characteristic of the O/S I use. More importantly, it has easy pronunciation and instant name recognition. Using the term to refer to a broader system is merely synecdoche, and is not particularly incorrect, IMHO (and as I point out above, "GNU/Linux" is also synecdoche). If people want to enshrine the GNU project's contribution above all others by using the term "GNU/Linux" themselves, that's fine by me, but 'correcting' people for not using it is pompous and irritating.
GNU/Linux - Obnoxious!
The system is called "Linux", this is the proper term for the operating system and the term that has gain the most momentum. The GNU project is very important but didn't RMS himself describe the BSD lisence as containing an "Obnoxious Advertising Clause" - This is what he had to say on the matter:
"When people put many such programs together in an operating system, the result is a serious problem. Imagine if a software system required 75 different sentences, each one naming a different author or group of authors. To advertise that, you would need a full-page ad."
He makes a good point!
This is what he has to say on the linux - GNU/linux thing:
"Since a long name such as GNU/X11/Apache/Linux/TeX/Perl/Python/FreeCiv becomes absurd, at some point you will have to set a threshold and omit the names of the many other secondary contributions. There is no one obvious right place to set the threshold, so wherever you set it, we won't argue against it ... But one name that cannot result from concerns of fairness and giving credit, not for any possible threshold level, is "Linux". It can't be fair to give all the credit to one secondary contribution (Linux) while omitting the principal contribution (GNU)."
Interesting stuff - if RMS cares so much he should insert an "obnoxious adverisment clause" into the GPL forcing everyone to use his terminology.
People concerned with terminology have often lost sight of whats important. RMS has done allot to help free software and should be commended for everything that he has done, but he is also an egomaniac with a strong sense of self importance willing to disrigard his own views on freedom to force people to think the same way he does (See GPL 3).
In short, whats in a name - Linux is way catchier than GNU and more widely recognised. If you want to call it, its full techinical name, don't use GNU/Linux, use GNU/X11/Apache/Linux/TeX/Perl/Python/FreeCiv, and hopefully, if you refuse to decline interviews unless people use your terminology then it might eventually catch on!
Everytime I feel the lazyness, I type "gnu" and say "gee-noo". Way short, and easy on my keyboard layout.
It's like some email sig: "[GNU] emacs is my OS, Linux is my device driver".
GNU or GNU/Linux
Typing about it, i'd say GNU/Linux, or "Linux" (never without ""), or GNU, or free software.
Talking about it, i am definetly pushed towards Linux, because the conversation will always slip out of context, but i try to avoid it by saying free software/ OS, or GNU (and making a comment like "what absent minded folks call Linux").
Thinking about it now, i have to say it's better to call it just GNU than anything else. That IS the name.
The /Linux part is almost a cortesy to the self centered Torvalds.. certainly a good programmer (thank you), but one that did not invent an OS, nor started the project.
The mentor calls is GNU, i don't particularly like it, but i MUST call it GNU.
How's the HURD going btw? :-)

BEAVER CREEK - There are 792 days left until the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships in Vail and Beaver Creek, but who's counting?
The Vail Valley Foundation is certainly counting the days, and more immediately, the organizing committee is counting the days until next year's Birds of Prey race week. That's when the fastest women in the world will get their first taste of the brand new downhill women's course that was built next to Birds of Prey this past summer.
Women raced in Beaver Creek last year on a modified Birds of Prey course because races in Vail d'Isere, France, were canceled due to a lack of snow. The cancellation put men and women in Beaver Creek at the same time, providing an early preview of what the championships will look like in 2015, albeit on a much smaller scale.
Lindsey Vonn picked up a win in super-G that week, but she was disappointed the course for the women was routed around the Golden Eagle jump.
Vonn, who picked up her 54th and 55th World Cup wins this weekend in Lake Louise, Alberta, has said she's always been jealous of the men because of Birds of Prey. The course is legendary, but the women will now have their own "counterpart of Birds of Prey" right next to it, said John Dakin, vice president of communications for the Vail Valley Foundation.
"(The women's course) is very similar to Birds of Prey - I walked it this fall," Dakin said. "There are some amazing similarities."
Vail Valley Foundation President Ceil Folz said those who have seen the course up-close - from International Ski Federation chief race director for the women Atle Skaardal to some World Cup men racers - "would say that in a lot of ways it's going to be a Birds of Prey equivalent for the women."
"We expect it to be one of the more difficult speed courses and we're excited about that - we love the idea," Folz said. "It's got unique pieces just as the Birds of Prey does, it's got some really steep stuff in there, which I think is going to be exciting. It's got a little bit of everything, a lot like Birds of Prey, where you've got some gliding sections, some flats, then you've got some crazy turns and some great jumps in it."
Dakin said there's an area by the super-G start where you come out of the trees and overlook the valley. He compares it to coming to the end of the Flyaway and over the Brink on Birds of Prey where "the world just kind of drops away and the whole valley just opens up."
"There are some really technical, really challenging sections of it, I think," Dakin said.
With the women's course built, there will be a couple of more International Ski Federation inspections on it next year. During construction season, crews will make any necessary adjustments in preparation for the test run next year.
Folz said the 2015 organizing committee has surpassed every Ski Federation deadline, putting the event ahead of schedule in every way. Next year, Folz said the women's inspection - scheduled immediately after Birds of Prey race week - will not only be a test of the course, but also of the organizers.
"That'll be a challenge. ... To build two downhill courses, early season, nowhere could do that except for, of course, Beaver Creek," Folz said. "So that alone will be a challenge, but we feel like we're up to it."
Next year's Birds of Prey schedule will also test volunteers. Folz said the Foundation has gone from having 350 Birds of Prey volunteers to about 750-850 volunteers who are on schedule to work next year and for the championships in 2015. Folz said the committee has been building up that volunteer base ever since it won the bid in 2010.
All eyes will be on Beaver Creek and the Vail Valley Foundation those first two weeks of December 2013, and eyes will certainly be on the women and how they race on the newest downhill course in the world.
Aksel Lund Svindal, of Norway, dates American World Cup racer Julia Mancuso. Svindal said Saturday he has seen the women's course from afar this weekend and it looks really steep. He thinks the course will suit Mancuso, who is really good at turning, he said.
Some early-on excitement over 2015 could be heard throughout the weekend. American Marco Sullivan said he's not sure he'll be racing at the championships, but he said it's been great seeing signs for it around Beaver Creek and hearing the hype continue to build.
Folz loves seeing it, too. She said it's amazing how time has flown by since winning the bid in 2010, but the Foundation, organizing committee and the valley are all ready.
"The cake's been baked so now we're starting to do the icing of the things that will make 2015 really special and unique," Folz said.

Friday's letters: Our rights
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 6:52 p.m.
To the editor: The Founding Fathers despised centralized authoritarian government. The Bill of Rights was written to protect the rights of individual citizens from the arrogance and greed of a centralized government.
The rights of the people: freedom of religion, speech, and to peaceably assemble. The right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures. The right to a trial by jury and legal counsel.
The Second Amendment was not written for hunting and sporting events; it was written for a free people to protect property and home, and to protect their lives.
The Second Amendment does not say it is the right of federal or state government. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Our rights come from the laws of nature and God. Politicians and government bureaucrats do not protect your property and home; they do not protect your life.
Richard Clark
Its not the same
To the editor: On Highway 25 South in front of Autozone, there is a sign, Welcome to Historical Hendersonville, Yeah, right! Its more like hysterical Hendersonville, and I think Steven Black would agree with me!
Theres not much on Main Street to attract the locals like there used to be its mostly bars and antique stores! And if a person wanted to go up there, where you going to park? Maybe if you hold your breath, you might get lucky and find such a space. But let the Apple Festival or a parade come around, and theyll get you a spot on a vacant lot. It may cost you $5, but theyll get you up there! At least when Main Street was straight, one could find such a space.
There were family restaurants like the Bluebird and the HotSpot. Now there is talk of a clock tower for the tourists. Man, oh man! All thats left of the good ole days is McFarlans Bakery, Tempo Music, Shermans Army Store and the Soda Shop. I miss the old Hendersonville, and I guess it will never be like that again!
Larry D. Ledbetter
Good luck, Stephen
To the editor: I was shocked and surprised to see that Stephen Black is no longer with the Time-News. I agreed with most of his political observations. He represented the little guy in the town of Hooterville.
I do not know who is replacing him, if anyone. A Democratic person with insight, and the ability to be one step ahead, hopefully.
We wish him good luck in his future endeavors, and God bless.

Big Banks Didn't Expect Fed to Taper in December
Wall Street's biggest banks told the New York Fed ahead of a central-bank meeting last month that they didn't expect to see a cutback in Fed bond buying in December, even as it turned out that policy action was exactly what policy makers delivered.
In the survey conducted ahead of the Dec. 17-18 Federal Open Market Committee meeting, the median view of so-called primary dealer banks was that the Fed would cut the pace of its Treasury and mortgage bond-buying stimulus effort at the March meeting.
That outlook proved to be out of line with what central bankers chose to do. FOMC members decided to cut the pace of the bond-buying effort to $75 billion, from $85 billion, in a move driven by officials' increased confidence in the state of the economy.
Despite the misalignment between market expectations and actual Fed policy, the move to slice bond buying was received with little market turbulence. Heading into the meeting, central bankers provided little clear direction about what they would do. But at the same time, most market participants agreed that some time relatively soon the Fed was fixed to pull back, so it was no shock that the cut happened in December given the amount of improvement seen in the economy.
Responses to the New York Fed survey were collected ahead of Dec. 9. The 21 primary dealer banks count among them the biggest financial institutions in the U.S. These firms deal directly with the Fed as it conducts market interventions to achieve the central bank's monetary-policy goals. They also underwrite Treasury debt auctions.
The New York surveys have become an important part of central-bank decision making, as policy makers say they value clear communication and seek to avoid major surprises. The calm response to the Fed's decision to slow bond buying stands in contrast to what happened at the September FOMC meeting. Then, Fed officials defied widespread expectations that they would slow asset buying and pressed forward with their stimulus campaign, garnering criticism in the process.
In the survey released Thursday, dealers said they expect the first increase in short-term interest rates to come at some point in the fourth quarter of 2015, a view that lines up with central-bank guidance. In the poll, the dealers believe the Fed's bond buying will be completed by the September 2014 FOMC meeting.
Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco leader John Williams said any notion of the December FOMC meeting outcome being a surprise is off the mark. "You have to be careful about expectations," he said. "It's not that big a surprise" because if you look at what market participants were projecting, there were a range of probabilities that suggested a December move was a clear possibility, he said.

Okay so it really isn't easy to show you the great features of the Sony GPS without an active link to google map.... you will just have to go buy one for yourself. I can't let the road trip with my Mum go without.....
It was a great trip with a lot of time to catch up in the car while driving LA - Palm Springs (Cousins Wedding) to Vegas (play time!).
The GPS is a great way to show the people at home in NZ where we went and what we saw. Dad came across for a couple of days. He and Mum went on a cruise to Mexico while I worked It was hard to convince him to spend the extra 3 days in LA a place he loves to hate - and takes great pleasure telling me why...
Never one to back away from a challenge I decided to show him the 'other side" of LA - where the sun shines, the hills roll and the experiences are endless.. Mission: to prove that LA is not just Hollywood and a concrete, flame ridden desert city.
First off we went hiking in the Malibu mountains (not near the fires) - to the Getty Villa, the canals in Venice and the Observatory. Where are the pics I hear you yell??? My camera battery went - so sad.
Off to New York tomorrow - nervous as to how the GPS will track in the city - will let you know.

STOCKTON — Former Lincoln High School and University of Oregon football standout Dewitt Stuckey was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence early Saturday morning in Stockton, authorities said.
The California Highway Patrol stopped Stuckey on West Hammer Lane west of North Lower Sacramento Road, authorities said. He was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail at 3:27 a.m. Saturday and released later in the day.
Stuckey was one of the nation's most highly rated college football prospects as a senior at Lincoln in 2007-08. He played for Oregon from 2008 to 2011, earning All-Pacific-12 Conference honorable mention after finishing third on the team in tackles in 2011.

Let's assume the schedule plays out roughly the same as this year. We'd start with Osky. If nobody aced then the ace fund would roll to the next tournament, let's say Amana. If somebody did ace at Osky then it would start over at Amana. As soon as there is a tournament without an actual ace then there will always be a rolling fund because it would only pay half from then on. Let's jump forward to mid-summer, say there's about $500 rolling into Colfax and 3 people ace. The fund would be split equally into 4 parts, 3 player shares and one share that rolls forward. The idea is that as it grows it could be something that would draw people or give incentive to travel. Now, there's 2 ways to handle the end of the year. Either it could just roll into the following year, or it could be used to sponsor some sort of year end tournament.
There would be a lot of details to work out, such as working with all participating TDs, having a uniform price, making sure it's either mandatory or voluntary all the way through, and of course physically moving the money from tournament to tournament. I feel strongly that I can make this work and work well.
If you vote no, I'd really like to hear why.

MARIETTA - "Nature has many marvels; but a tree seems more than marvelous. It is divine."
Those words from a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox encouraging the simple planting of a tree rang true throughout the hearts of about a dozen people gathered beside the Front Street armory in Marietta on Friday to intern a white swamp oak in the ground.
Planting that tree was part of the city's celebration of Arbor Day, and put an exclamation point on the city's recognition for its 34th year as a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation. Marietta is one of the longest tenured Tree City USA honorees in the country, and is believed to be the oldest "tree city" in Ohio.

"The trees add a great dimension of comfort and beauty," said Julia Paugstat, a member of the city tree commission. "We're really a rural city. We're not a metropolis. We don't want to be. We want the convenience of a city with a hometown feel."
Due to the city's commitment to its forest, Marietta Mayor Joe Matthews and the city received the 34th recognition of the city as a Tree City USA recently in Logan. The National Arbor Day Foundation first began issuing the awards in 1976, with Marietta receiving its first award in 1978, Paugstat said.
All told, Marietta has more than 6,000 trees on city-owned property, with thousands more on privately owned parcels.
"It's almost like you're going into a grove, some of these streets," Matthews said. "Marietta is just a gorgeous town."
To maintain the trees, members of the tree commission spend time each year pruning them, watering them during drought, planting new trees and removing leaves in the autumn. All of those count toward the per capita value required to be considered as a Tree City USA.
"I just applaud the tree commission because they do a fantastic job," Matthews praised.
That work earned Marietta what has become an annual recognition, and the city may be the host for its own award in 2014.
"We have offered to host Tree City USA awards for next year, and the awards will be for 2013," Paugstat said.

Facing facts squarely, we must concede that our beloved hunting guns are inherently capable of inflicting great bodily harm and even death when used carelessly or handled incorrectly. Today mandatory hunter safety programs have significantly reduced the number of shooting and hunting accidents, making them much rarer than they were during my youth, when everybody was sort of on their own to "learn by doing."
Nevertheless, accidents still happen when people become careless or inattentive while handling firearms.
There are various short lists enumerating correct and safe firearms handling and use. The 10 Commandments of Gun Safety remain an excellent guide. However, these guidelines only work if shooters read, remember, and practice them. Following is my own little list of safe gun handling rules based mainly on what seem to be the most common lapses of sound safety principles.
Most of us know or know of someone whose side-by-side or over/under has "doubled," meaning both barrels fired after one pull of the trigger. That likely occurred as a result of worn parts. And yes, a gun with a worn sear can discharge if dropped or simply knocked over, even with the safety on. Sadly, many have, with disastrous consequences.

Today's letters: By referendum
Published: Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 4:42 p.m.
To the editor: The Times-News reported on March 20 that Gov. Pat McCrorys first N.C. budget is heavy on setting aside money for emergencies. Thats prudent management.
Compare that with the recent decision by the Flat Rock Village Council to purchase the Highland Lake golf course, using funds set aside by former councils to cover unforeseen expenses. In so doing, the council will put a serious dent in the villages reserves, instead of maintaining or increasing them.
The council cites an economic study showing that the golf course purchase is affordable. But what about the surprises, the unpredictable events that can cause financial grief? If the village does get into trouble, taxes will have to be raised.
The council appears to be willing to go down that path, but its not clear that the majority of Flat Rock residents are. Considering the profound economic implications of the purchase, it should be put to a vote of Flat Rock residents.
At least a dozen attendees of the meetings on the purchase requested that it be decided by a referendum. Thats the right thing to do, yet the council shows no signs of organizing a referendum. Why is it reluctant to do so?
Ed Destremps
Flat Rock
Not from God
To the editor: In the March 28 edition of the Times-News, there was an article headlined, Sen. Kay Hagan now backs same-sex marriage.
In this article, Sen. Hagan stated, After much thought and prayer, I have come to the conclusion that we shouldnt tell people who they can love or who they can marry.
When I read the words much thought and prayer, I wondered who she prayed to. It couldnt have been God because He already said He didnt like the whole concept. In fact, He called it an abomination, which means He really didnt like it.
Some will say this comes from the Old Testament and doesnt apply today. Well, it does; the same God gave us the Old Testament and the New Testament. Whatever Sen. Hagan was praying to and the answer she received that same-sex marriage was OK did not come from God of the Holy Bible. Even if her president said it was OK.
So I was just wondering.
Wil Irvine
Drone attacks
To the editor: When the U.S. Constitution and other founding documents appeared, warfare was just emerging from Napoleonic tactics toward the mass-produced, precision-made, smokeless powder weaponry of the first World War. Revolutionary War snipers used true rifles much more accurate than smooth-bore, massed-infantry muskets. Small arms mass production from interchangeable parts was pioneered.
However, probably no one even imagined accurate and deadly fire from unheard, high altitude, nearly invisible, pilotless drone aircraft killing individuals as they go about their daily activities.
Its reported the United States has droned (killed) nearly 5,000 presumably identified Islamic terrorist leaders this way, on foreign soil.
But with the present executive gang in Washington, one wonders when this efficient, impersonal execution will first occur on U.S. soil, against whom and for what actual reasons? Might it even be a patriotic honor on their USA May Be Droned list?
Who will be first? Some fleeing rapist?
No, I would guess a despicable, conservative capitalist suspected of tax-payment shortages!

Crack in Blue Ridge Parkway is a tourist attraction
Published: Friday, July 26, 2013 at 8:44 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 26, 2013 at 8:44 a.m.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — That crack that has closed a 20-mile stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway north of Asheville has become a tourist attraction for those on foot or bike.
The crack is more than 300 feet long, six inches wide and several feet deep.
Some people are walking two miles from where the parkway is closed just to see the crack.
The road is closed just north of Asheville to near Mount Mitchell State Park. The road is open to pedestrians and those on bicycles until next week, when temporary repairs on the cracks begin.
A crew from the Federal Highway Administration began core drilling tests this week to try to determine the cause of the problem. But officials think the heavy rains caused the crack.

Knitting for Baby: 30 Heirloom Projects with Complete How-to-Knit Instructions
by Melanie Falick and Kristin Nicholas
Buy it now at
This beautiful book comes from two of the most productive figures in knitting today. Falick wrote the ground-breaking Knitting in America before transforming Interweave Knits as its editor.
Nicholas made a name for Classic Elite Yarns as its longtime creative director. Although the early editions of her pattern collections were criticized for their technical errors, she remains one of my favorite designers.
Don't Knit? Don't Worry
Knitting for Baby serves two purposes: To teach new knitters how to knit, and to provide beautiful patterns. Falick and Nicholas walk you through the natural progression of knitting, from learning stockinette to garter and purl stitches, adding shaping and color, knitting in the round, and making cables.
For each well-written, beautifully illustrated chapter, they provide several patterns that make use of the chapter's featured technique. In this way, the book is similar to Debbie Bliss' How to Knit.
Not just for Beginners
Bliss and Falick didn't just stop at the basics, either. The entire book is peppered with the kinds of helpful tips normally reserved for classes or forums. They share their favorite ways to start a new ball of yarn, how to read your stitches, and store handknits, to name a few.
You'll also find extra details that demonstrate how much work went into this book. For example, the common pattern language is to say, "ending with a WS row," but Falick and Nicholas take the time to write, "End having just completed a WS (wrong-side) row."
Delicious Designs
The patterns are suitable for the 3- to 24-month age range and include wearables (such as cardigans, pullovers, hats, booties, and mittens), plus blankets, pillows, play blocks, a felted diaper tote, and teddy bears.
As an added bonus, Falick and Nicholas even include an adult-sized Mommy Sweater.
One Pattern, Many Paths
Here's where the authors' work truly shines. Instead of giving just one way to complete a pattern, they often provide multiple variations in different yarns.
For example, they give options for knitting an easy eyelet blanket in Mission Falls 1824 Cotton, Green Mountain Spinnery Cotton Comfort, Jaeger Matchmaker Merino DK, Rowan Wool Cotton, and Classic Elite La Gran Brushed Mohair.
You'll also find explanations of each yarn's qualities and characteristics as well as how many skeins you'll need.
Great Gift
This and Erika Knight's Simple Knits for Cherished Babies are my two top choices for beautiful and achievable baby pattern collections. Knitting for Baby also shines as a learn-to-knit gift for the mother-to-be.

8 Cities with Surprising Job Growth
Here are eight metropolitan areas that we think are poised to become job-creating machines in the years ahead.
We zeroed in on metro areas of at least 1 million people and a track record of above-average population and job growth coming out of the 2008-2009 recession.
Our analysis also considers demographic trends and industry growth that point to rapid job creation. We think each of these eight cities will outpace the nation's 7% job growth average between now and 2017, a forecast based on U.S. Department of Labor projections plus our reporting.
They're not the usual suspects -- the Houstons, Austins and Seattles that are riding high because they're well-known homes to lots of energy or tech firms. Take a look:

8 Cities with Surprising Job Growth
1.6 million
Current unemployment rate: 6.5% (vs. 8.2% nationally)
Job growth next five years: 18%
Number of new jobs: 140,000
Nashville wins the prize for fastest two-year job growth among all the metro areas on our list -- four times as fast as the U.S. as a whole. Vanderbilt University, the largest employer, will continue to add a variety of health care, education and service jobs. Nissan North America will add manufacturing jobs at its auto assembly plant and office jobs at its Nashville-area headquarters.
The capital of country music has a vibrant tech sector fueled by its highly regarded universities, and is becoming a center of data processing functions for cloud computing. The city will continue to be the freight transportation center for the state and the region, adding thousands of service jobs. It's the crossroads for truck and rail transport and a major center for UPS operations by land and air. Nashville

Sure, nearby Austin, the state capital, is booming, but San Antonio's metro area is 20% larger in population and will add jobs nearly as fast over the next five years. Cheaper housing and commercial space lure many high-tech companies toward San Antonio, and the city is the hub of Central Texas' energy sector, especially its fast-growing natural gas segment. Major employers poised to expand include Valero, NuStar and Tesoro. Meanwhile, insurer USAA is the area's largest and fastest-growing private employer. San Antonio

The East Coast home of Mickey Mouse will be the fastest-growing job market of three Florida cites recovering most quickly from the state's housing crash. (The other two are Jacksonville and Fort Lauderdale.) Disney, Universal and new resorts and hotels will dominate job growth, but health care is the fastest-growing industry, creating a wide array of professional, transportation, sales and personal service jobs.
High tech is a surprisingly large and growing sector in Orlando. AT&T and Siemens are major employers. But Lockheed Martin, which employs 13,000 people, will be cutting jobs now that NASA's Space Shuttle program has ended. Orlando, Fla.

Major employers adding the most jobs will be Duke University, the University of North Carolina, IBM, Cisco, GlaxoSmithKline, Nortel, Verizon and Lenovo. As the capital of a state with healthy finances, Raleigh will also steadily add government jobs. Moreover, it's a regional hub for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, supporting thousands of related private-sector jobs. Raleigh, N.C.

Portland, Ore.
2.2 million
Current unemployment rate: 7.8%
Job growth next five years: 12%
Number of new jobs: 130,000
After devastating job losses in the recession, Portland has made a spectacular recovery, fueled by the tech mini-boom and the area's attractiveness to young people. Anchored by Intel and its 16,000 employees, Portland will maintain its moniker as the Silicon Forest for its more than 1,200 high-tech firms, most of them small to medium-size.
High tech will continue to be the fastest-growing sector, but other major job gains will come in sportswear. The presence of Nike, Adidas and Columbia Sportswear has spawned many smaller sportswear-related firms that are hiring designers, marketers and salespeople. The industry has also given rise to a vibrant graphic design sector. Portland, the third-largest seaport on the West Coast, will also continue to grow as a major transportation and shipping center.

A solid transportation infrastructure and low labor costs make the Valley of the Sun a strong magnet for firms fleeing higher-cost California. The Greater Phoenix Economic Council notes that 30% of relocations in 2011 were from California. And a silver lining in the wake of the housing crash: inexpensive real estate.
The city is an emerging player in the making and distribution of lower-end electronics: major employers include Motorola, Honeywell and Avnet, all of which are hiring. Other Fortune 500 firms looking for help are mining giant Freeport-McMoRan, US Airways and PetSmart. Phoenix

It won't expand as fast as the others on our list, but Atlanta's size and diversity will make it a good place to relocate and look for work. One key to Atlanta's bright future is the nexus between transportation and online retailing. UPS and AT&T Mobility, with its 100 million wireless customers, are both based there, and they will be key players in America's consumer-spending shift from bricks to clicks.
Home Depot, UPS, Coca-Cola, and Delta Airlines are among Fortune 500 giants based in Atlanta. Delta Airlines and AirTran are likely to shrink their workforces, as is struggling retailer Home Depot. But regional energy giant Southern Co. and Newell Rubbermaid, maker of many things for the kitchen and garage, see expansions. Atlanta

Reading the senior journalist Hisham Melhem's recent obituary of Arab civilization, one is compelled to ask when it was ever alive. Al-Ahram Weekly, 25 September
"No one paradigm or one theory can explain" the jihadi barbarians, not at, but within the Arabs' gates. So says Hisham Melhem, an older writer, in Politico magazine this week, summing up the failure of modern "Arab civilization" with admirable level-headedness. His point would be too obvious if it wasn't so uniformly lost on neoliberal analysts and apologists for religious identity: the Islamic State did not fall from the sky. It grew out of the "rotting, empty hulk" of societies routed no less by the "stagnant, repressive and patriarchal" authoritarianism of military regimes than the politicized religiosity seeking to replace them. Like its ideological archenemy, namely political Islam, Arab nationalism too expresses "atavistic impulses and a regressive outlook on life that is grounded in a mostly mythologized past".
But who's to say these two ideologies do not accurately reflect all that the Arab masses hold dear, i.e., what world community leaders would call "the Arab peoples' legitimate aspirations"? As a younger observer, I cannot help seeing that, since the end of Ottoman times, only a negative sense of collective identity has mobilized a given Arab people at a given point in history. Embodied in revolutionary leaders like Nasser or resistance movements like Hezbollah, such rallying cries rarely pointed to a positive or constructive cause that did not turn out to be part of a propaganda campaign (Hamas's August "victory" over Israel is a case in point). What Melhem does not say is that, in as much as it exists at all, post-Ottoman Arabic-speaking civilization has only ever operated against others, if not the occupier then non-Muslim or non-Sunni citizens of its own states, if not "Zionists and imperial Crusaders" then infidels at large.

All prospective members are urged to attend. NOTICE SECOND QUARTERLY MEETING The second quarterly meeting of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Tribal Council will be held on Friday, April 07, 1978 at Koostatah Hall in Elmo.

Gracie Ann was crowned Miss Indian America No. 24 on July 31st, 1977 at Sheridan, Wyoming. That date was also her 19th birthday, she said that the combination of the two events occuring on the same day still seems rather unique for her. From Parker, Arizona she is a member of the Mohave-Chemehuevi - Yavapai tribes and enrolled with the Colorado River Indian Tribes. She has held several other titles before being crowned Miss Indian America. Some of these were Miss Indian Arizona from 1976 - 1977, Miss Colorado River Indians from 1975 - 1976. "Mesh-hi-hewah-ahote" is her Mohave name, which means Good Hearted Girl. Gracie Ann participates with much zest and enthusiasm in music, sports, rodeos and recommends the knowledge and practice of native culture as a means to enrich our total human experiance. Studying public administration at the University of Arizona at Tucson, she plans on attending the University another three years. Gracie Ann attended the Montana Indian Education Conference which was held at the University in Missoula. Director for Native American Studies, Henrietta Whiteman was Miss Indian America's chaperon while attending the Conference. On commenting about the Confederated Salish and Kootenai members she had met on her short visit to our reservation she said she was impressed by their warmth and were good people. Gracie Ann would like to invite Tribal members to visit and be welcomed to the 25th Silver Anniversary of the All American Indian Days and the National Miss Indian American Pagent held on July 28, 29 and 30th at Sheridan, Wyoming. There will also be a Pow-Wow, parade, arts and crafts plus an all Indian Championship Rodeo. (Continued on page 2)

Baba shows up the night Murad's body arrives. It's revolution day, he says. How come you're not celebrating? Ghosts are funny that way.
Murad came back in two packages. He was hit in the neck, they said. The squall of ammo was such the head wouldn't stay in place.
After Mama was hauled to Tante Loulou's I arranged him on a mattress in the living room, then I sat thinking how he hated the army.
I'd hated it too, twelve years before. Even though at that time conscripts weren't being screwed. But to be in the barracks on July 23…
The Gunmen had timed it to make a point. The army is the state is the infidels is the enemy, they believe. And July 23, 1952? A coup.
It's the coup you call R that WE call bloody C. How about everyone just calls it RC, I was thinking. Then I remembered.
