Knitter's Review
October 27, 2005
Sometimes I think adults enjoy children's books and movies more than children do—this is certainly true for me.
That's why this week I review
two sweet children's books
that tell the story of how fiber goes from fleece to sweater. One is bright and whimsical, the other warm and classic, and both leave me inspired to keep creating.

Teethers Recalled Because of Bacteria Risk
July 20, 2009 -- Luv N' Care Ltd. of Monroe, La., is voluntarily recalling its gel-filled teethers with the brand names "Nuby," "Cottontails," and "Playschool" due to possible bacterial contamination of the gel inside the teethers.
The FDA found Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus circulans bacteria in the gel in samples from two lots of the teethers.
Although those bacteria generally don't make adults sick, they can cause stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and, in rare cases, more serious disease in infants and children with weakened immune systems.
The bacteria are in the gel inside the teether, so the main risk is the teether getting punctured and infants ingesting the gel.
No illnesses have been reported to date, Luv N' Care states in a July 17 news release.
The FDA and Luv N' Care advise people to stop using the recalled teethers and throw them out or return them to the store where they were bought for a full refund.
Here is the list of all the recalled products:
UPC code Brand Name
48526-00451 Nuby
48526-00452 Nuby
48526-00453 Nuby
48526-00454 Nuby
48526-00455 Nuby
48526-00459 Nuby
48526-00467 Nuby
48526-00472 Nuby
48526-00473 Nuby
48526-00482 Nuby
48526-00483 Nuby

41520-91660 Cottontails
Luv N' Care says it has stopped production and distribution of the teethers and is notifying distributors to return the recalled products.
For more information, call Luv N' Care at 800-256-2399 ext. 3106 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Central time.

Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil or to 205 F.
Whole Leaf Tea
Add the pre-portioned 1-ounce filter bag to a 1-gallon pitcher or container.
Infusion Time
Fill 1-gallon pitcher or container halfway with boiling water. Time steeping carefully and infuse filter bag for 3 - 5 minutes. With a ladle, take out filter bag. Add enough ice so that the level of the liquid rises to pitcher or container top. Cool in refrigerator.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Black Tea
Black tea contains an abundant source of natural plant-derived antioxidant compounds called polyphenols that may aid in fighting harmful free radicals. Research shows that these free radicals can cause heart disease, cancer and increase the risk of strokes. Drinking black tea with its high antioxidant levels may help protect the body by counteracting harmful free radical activity.
Further health benefits of black tea may include lowering cholesterol, strengthening the immune system, promoting healthy blood vessel functionality and even protecting teeth and bones. In addition, black tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium. Manganese, potassium, calcium, and the vitamins C and K all in trace amounts.
Mango(Mangifera indica)
Native to southern Asia, the Mango is high in antioxidants, Vitamin C, betacarotine and fiber.

Circumnavigating the world in less than three months might not impress the modern traveler, but for 19th-century adventurer Phileas Fogg from "Around the World in 80 Days," it's a lightning-fast trip.
The play mimics the journey's speed, and with just over a week until the first live performance of the Lake Tahoe Community College version, the small stuff counts.
LTCC Theater Director Susan Boulanger scanned her yellow notepad Wednesday night, outlining and refining details of the upcoming slapstick production. Boulanger instructed actors to commit 100 percent to their lines, put more urgency in the scenes and enunciate words like "piss pipe" in a clear - yet goofy - French accent. And everything needed to move at the same electric pace as Fogg's fictional voyage.
"For any play, I work very moment-to-moment. Every moment has to be as right as we can get it. For a play like this that is very comedic, timing is everything. The details I spend my time on are to make each moment work," Boulanger said.
Mark Brown's "Around the World in 80 Days" is a playful adaptation of the Jules Verne adventure novel. The production follows Fogg and his sidekick, Passepartout, from the Suez Canal to India to the Wild West as the duo attempts to win an outrageous wager, dogged the whole time by a determined detective. Imagine a mix between Monty Python and the Marx Brothers, and you might have an idea of what "Around the World in 80 Days" is all about, according to Boulanger.
Boulanger first saw the play more than 10 years ago in a Los Angeles theatre where five actors played 39 characters. She liked the show so much she reached out to its creator, Mark Brown, for a copy of the screenplay after searching for it unsuccessfully on her own. She still has the manuscript Brown sent her.
"I was just blown away by this production. It was so wacky, so clever and so inventive. The play has been on my mind for all these years," Boulanger said.
Boulanger has made some adjustments --she's working with a 16-person cast and the set work is all her own --but LTCC's "Around the World in 80 Days" stays true to the comedic and complex nature of Brown's show. There are numerous scene changes that range across seven continents, almost 40 characters and comedy that needs to be delivered right on cue.
It helps that Boulanger has a stellar cast made up of both seasoned performers and beginners.
"There's quite a dividing line, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference," Boulanger said of the cast. "They've been amazing. One of the best ensembles I've worked with."
South Shore resident and experienced actress Courtney Cobble plays Aouda, the female lead and Fogg's romantic interest. It's Cobble's first play with the college, but she has extensive acting experience including a stint in the Star Trek: The Experience attraction in Las Vegas.
"I always loved acting. I think my first play was in kindergarten," Cobble said. "I wanted to get back in theatre."
For South Tahoe High School alumnus and LTCC student Dillon Daggs, "Around the World in 80 Days" will be his third show with the college. Daggs plays Passepartout, Fogg's French assistant.
"It's not your typical French accent. It's the goofy aspect of the charecter, and Susan thought I would be a good fit," Daggs said. "It's doing what I always loved and I really like the family aspect of this particular theatre."
The play's family-friendly theme is one of the many points in its favor, Boulanger said. People need to come see it if for no other reason to watch the cast create an elephant onstage.
"This one will appeal to the kids and the adults. It's a wild, wacky time and it's a lot of fun. It gives the audience a glimpse of how people used to view the world," she said.

The federal Environmental Protection Agency has fined Jamestown $2,080 for improper handling of chlorine at the city's water treatment plant.
City Engineer Reed Schwartzkopf tells The Jamestown Sun (http://bit.ly/TM4eXF ) that the infractions uncovered in a spring audit dealt mostly with administrative procedures, and that no chemicals spilled.
Schwartzkopf says the fine initially was $5,000 but the EPA reduced it.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Friday, March 1, 2013
EVANS, Ga. (WRDW) -- A local man says a scam nearly took him for a ride, and now he is warning you.
Ever since Adam Foltz was boy, he's loved the roar of the engine and the wing on his face.
"It's a carbonated bike, which means it's easier to work on; you don't need a computer to be able to work on it," he said, showing off his Honda.
Foltz spends his past time buying buying old or wrecked bikes and rebuilding them.
"From Craigslist to eBay, Modified.com, we try to find any motorcycles that they are listing under the NADA value," he said.
He built his own bike and used some of those websites to find the parts.
Recently, however, he's noticed a sneaky scam.
"Most of them say they want us to use eBay as a third-party individual," Foltz said.
It sounds seems legit until they send him a link to eBay.
"The eBay page they send you never has any option for PayPal or any other method of payment other than other than the Western Union transition," he said.
The page looks like a real eBay page, but it isn't. Not only does it not give you any options but to wire money, but the item number is fake. All you have to do is copy and paste into the real eBay page, and it shows zero results for that item.
Another sign a fake eBay page was created by a scammer is the storyline, which is often over the top.
"People saying their son died. The latest one we got she said she got her bike in the divorce and she just wants to sell it as a pride factor," Foltz said.
He didn't fall for any of their stories, and he is advising others to roll out just as quickly when they see the same warning signs.

Knitter's Review
October 29, 2009
Have my last few sheep-centric newsletters been a little too "farmy" for you? Do you crave a softer, smoother yarn with fewer traces of the barnyard?
For the next two weeks, we'll be looking at two plush, supersoft organic Merino yarns—one spun in Italy, the other right here in Maine. We begin our Merino adventures this week with Tahki Lana, a spongy quick-knitting three-ply bulky yarn that's offered to us in five natural shades.

VAIL, Colorado - A mandatory recycling program is coming to Vail, but questions remain about just what that program will look like.
The Vail Town Council isn't yet considering an ordinance that would establish the program, which intends to cut the town's waste stream by 25 percent by 2019. A committee is still working on details, and Kristen Bertuglia of the Vail Community Development Department Tuesday gave council members an update of that group's work, and presented several recommendations.
The most important of those recommendations is making the program mandatory. That means both residential and commercial customers would have to have recycling bins along with their residential trash bins. Trash companies would presumably charge customers for those bins.
Businesses would also be required to provide "recycling options" for guests and clients.
While town officials are trying to keep any potential program as simple as possible, it may be difficult for people to have just a trash bin and one recycling bin.
The problem, at least for some customers, is the fact that the "material recycling facility" at the Eagle County Landfill doesn't take cardboard. That means cardboard would have to either be trucked to Summit County or Denver after being separated out of a bin.
Council member Kerry Donovan said the desire for one-bin recycling needs to be weighed against the reality of the costs of trucking material to Denver.
Donovan also asked if the business community had yet had a chance to provide input on the committee's recommendations. Bertuglia said the committee is still doing that.
"We want businesses to know that this is coming and it's going to be mandatory," council member Kevin Foley said.
And, despite a recommendation for a six-month phase-in process when the council does pass an ordinance, council member Susie Tjossem warned council members that even half a year might not be enough time, particularly in the case of residents who may not spend much time in town.
While nothing official is before the council yet, mayor Andy Daly said now's the time to start putting out information about the possible regulations.
"We need people to know that some time in the next six to 12 months we're going to start in with mandatory recycling," Daly said. "And everything I've heard from people is that it's about time."

Disgraced journalist Stephen Glass may have to choose a vocation other than the law to complete his road to redemption.
The California Supreme Court on Wednesday showed no signs of sympathy regarding Glass' bid for a license to practice law, hammering his journalistic past and suggesting his infamous history of fabricating dozens of magazine stories and public lies disqualifies him from joining the profession.
During an hour of arguments in Sacramento, all seven justices were skeptical of Glass' position that he is not the same person who tarnished the journalism world 15 years ago.
"Here is my problem," Justice Carol Corrigan told Jon Eisenberg, Glass' lawyer. "They say character is what you do when no one is looking. Mr. Glass' history ... when no one is looking has been pretty abysmal."
Added Justice Kathryn Mickle Werdegar: "Being admitted to practice law is a privilege. Our task is to certify that his moral character is such today that he can with integrity be a member of the bar."
Glass, now a paralegal for a Los Angeles law firm, has applied to become a California lawyer, arguing that he has changed his ways since a journalism scandal in the late 1990s resulted in his downfall. He gained such notoriety after fabricating stories for publications such as The New Republic that he became the subject of a Hollywood movie, "Shattered Glass."
Two State Bar Court decisions backed Glass' bid to be licensed as a lawyer, citing dozens of character witnesses, such as judges and law professors, who have vouched for his reformation.
But the state bar has argued against his right to be admitted, saying he has not done enough to atone for his journalistic sins. State bar attorney Rachel Grunberg told the court the bar "strongly opposes" Glass' right to be a California lawyer, calling him an "infamous serial liar."
Asked at one point whether Glass could ever rehabilitate himself enough to be licensed, Grunberg replied: "On this record, we don't think he should ever be admitted."
But Eisenberg insisted that Glass, now 41, has spent more than a decade reforming, telling the court that "he is not a liar today."
"We are asking you to have faith in Stephen Glass. But it is not blind faith," Eisenberg said. "He has redeemed himself and has good moral character."
The Supreme Court has 90 days to rule on Glass' case.

Affordable housing conversation slated
Published: Saturday, March 15, 2014 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 14, 2014 at 11:42 p.m.
A local study shows that workers earning less than $14.94 an hour struggle to find safe, affordable housing in Henderson County, where homelessness has been on the rise. But city leaders want to help.
The city of Hendersonville invites the public to a community conversation on affordable housing from 4-6 p.m. Monday at the city's Operations Center, 305 Williams St.
The conversation on how to better address affordable housing issues in Hendersonville is being held in conjunction with the Children and Family Resource Center's Speak Out 2014, held last month to raise awareness of the issues affecting local youth.
"The Five Promises" study, compiled by the Resource Center with the help of a host of local agencies, showed there is a two-year wait for section 8 vouchers that help citizens struggling with finances find safe housing.
"Affordable housing continues to be an issue in Henderson County, as almost half of renters and one-third of owners with mortgages in Henderson County spent 30 percent or more of their household income on housing," according to the study. "The 2013 fair market rent for a two-bedroom unit in Henderson County is $777 a month... In Henderson County, the estimated average wage for a renter is $10.03. In order to afford the fair market rent for a two-bedroom apartment at this wage, a renter must work 60 hours a week, 52 weeks a year."

House of Wax 3-D
On October 1, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will celebrate the 60th anniversary of House of Wax with a stunning new restored and remastered High-definition 3D Blu-ray.In 1953, the film was the first color 3D feature released by a major studio. The huge hit also marked Vincent Price�s first major starring horror role and changed the course of his career. Thanks to advanced technology and the expert work of Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging (MPI), audiences will now be able to enjoy the classic mystery shocker as it was originally seen in theatres.The Blu-ray will include a new featurette, �House of Wax: Unlike Anything You�ve Seen Before� and Mystery of The Wax Museum, the original 1933 film on which House of Wax isbased. A 2D version of House of Wax will also be included.<>>
Originally designed to lure audiences away from their TV sets, 3D utilized a �left-eye/right-eye� dual projection process and polarized glasses, the basis for what is seen today. MPI�s work on House of Wax includes a 4K scan, and a full restoration of the two �eyes,� as well as perfect 3D image alignment.<>>
House of Wax was a major box-office success when it was released in 1953. If adjusted to today�s gross, it would have brought in more than $401 million, placing it among the top 100 highest grossing films ever.* It no doubt paved the way for a 3D boom over the next several years during which 50 3D features and some two dozen shorts and cartoons were released.<>>
The film was directed by Andr� deToth, an unlikely choice to direct a 3D film as he was blind in one eye and unable to properly see the effects he created. Besides Price, House of Wax additionally features Frank Lovejoy, Phyllis Kirk, Carolyn Jones, Paul Picerni and a young actor named Charles Buchinsky, who would later become known to audiences worldwide as Charles Bronson. Screenplay is by Crane Wilbur. Brian Foy produced.<>>
The Warner library has the largest number of classic 3D titles (15) of any studio, and now that the technology has been perfected, the studio looks forward to re-introducing them to home audiences. The long-awaited, much requested release of House of Wax is the second classic 3D film the studio has released on Blu-ray, following last year�s release of Dial M for Murder.
60 years after its original release, "House Of Wax" starring Vincent Price is still a creepy delight.
Price brings all his trademark horror mojo to the film that launched him as a leading man in the genre. The 3-D effects such as a sidewalk performer with paddle balls and high kicking can-can dancers are kitschy fun even though they have literally nothing to do with the actual story. The Blu-Ray also has an intermission title card that really takes the viewer back to the days when going to the movies was just as much of an event as going to a concert or play.
"House Of Wax" is definitely a fun popcorn movie to enjoy with the whole family. Scary enough to keep the preteens interested and nostalgic enough to give mom and dad a great big smile.
Drumroll please...
8 out of 10 drumsticks!!!

last night at the starry plough was a big success.
i've been told by those in the know that tonight's venue is a weird, super-intimate dive bar... and that it will most likely sell out super fast... so please get there early if you're coming, and tell someone to come find me or Jamie Dewolfe if you're from the forum and unable to get in.

B., I gots to give you mad props for that show last night. I'm stoked I was able to make it out. You killed it as usual, and I'm glad I got my Dolan fix to hold me over til next time.
The host came up to me when he saw my sweatshirt and we had a discussion about you. He likes, no, loves you. I'm pretty sure everyone there loved you, you did it up proper.
I cant even write a review style report but I will say that I saw one of the most awesomely bad battle rappers. Imagine the voice and speech style of Bobcat Goldwaith, and he looked like a ghost on heroin, tourettes, literally. I think.
I actually met some of the spoken word guys that perform in Sac, hoping to get some spoken word action at my school in the Spring.
There was a crucifix and tits and tongue. Beat Box orgasms. Man, thinking about it now makes me realize how crazy it all was. It is one of those things where you just had to be there. Shane, I'd come out with the big guy next time he is invited. And according to Dan or Jaime, whatever the red headed guy's name is, he wants B out there every 4 months. Would love to see that happen, but not holding my breath.
Anyway, hopefully B, gives you a better description to what went on, I just wanted to let him know that he did great.
And I met Organize aka Tony. Nice meeting you, man. Glad you made it out. Sorry you had to leave early!

ARE KIDS today spoilt? OK so the default answer to this question is yes, but look at it in a motoring context. If you were fortunate enough to be young and buying a new car 20 years ago, your choice was almost non-existent: it was a cheap supermini or a bus pass. And even though it was brand-new, zero miles on the clock and shiny paint accounted for pretty much everything on the options list.
Fast forward to today, and the differences are astounding. This Hyundai i20 Active is the mid-range model, and according to a rough calculation provided by the Internet, it's current price tag of £11,595 would equate to £6,540 in 1990 - so bang on budget for a very cheap entry-level supermini.
Clap eyes on it from even 50 yards away and the last thing you get is a sense of cheapness. The i20 was not a bad-looking car to start with but recent revisions have given it even more personality and style. There's a hexagonal grille, new lights and bumpers and even front wings, all of which give the i20 a proper grown-up look in line with the bigger models in the Hyundai range. There are more subtle tweaks at the rear, but the redesigned bumper is better integrated into the overall design. It's handsome and subtle rather than trend-setting but has more than enough visual appeal for all kinds of buyers.
There are updates on the inside too. The dashboard is broadly as before, but there is a sprinkling of piano black which helps to lift the tone, while the ventilation controls are more substantial - pretty much everything you touch feels chunkier and more pleasurable to use. There's no increase in space as the exterior dimensions are almost identical, but there was always plenty of room: the fuss-free dashboard gives plenty of legroom and a feeling of spaciousness and whether you're sat in the front or the back there shouldn't be any complaints. And the driver certainly won't grumble with features like Bluetooth and air conditioning thrown in – something that was a total luxury on big cars in the past.
Up front the engine range has been tweaked with the usual target of improved emissions and economy. The offerings have been slimmed down, but the two petrols and two diesels that are left are impressive. Grabbing the headlines is the 1.1-diesel, which is capable of 99g/km in standard trim but a remarkable 84g/km with stop-start added to the mix.
But our fledgling new car buyer will be looking at a cheaper petrol model, which is where this 1.2-litre version comes in. Significant tweaks have raised power and simultaneously cut emissions, so the 1.2-litre i20 is down to 114g/km while offering a healthy 84bhp. Like any good supermini motor, this 1.2-litre unit is quiet and responds accurately to throttle inputs – and also can handle being revved hard. If you're young and behind the wheel it is inevitable that you will wring your little car out for all it is worth, and while understandably the noise levels go up a bit the i20 can take a thrashing in its stride.
Unlike the superminis of old however, this one is properly prepared to help you out in times of crisis. For starters it has ESP as standard across the range, and as a car that could well be bought by young drivers that is nigh-on essential. There are six airbags and a strong safety cell too, which should go some way to reassuring angst-ridden parents when their offspring are out with their friends. The i20 helps you along the way too, as the steering is accurate and light (thanks to the power steering), the brakes are strong and the driving position sound. An undemanding drive is exactly what you want from your supermini – the driver should be taxed as little as possible, and the i20 does just that.
This sums up the i20 in a nutshell. It's a smart, attractive little car with good space, sound driving dynamics and value running right through it from the initial purchase price to the impressive fuel economy. And whatever you may think about how it compares to European rival brands, the reassurance of a five-year unlimited mileage warranty is not to be sniffed at. It's a car you can buy for yourself, or your loved ones and be content that it will serve you well.

The Cowboy Junkies first came to fame with 1987's "The Trinity Session," a strikingly lo-fi effort recorded through a single microphone at Toronto's Church of the Holy Trinity.
That hushed affair, which blended folk, blues and rock in a fashion that most had never heard before, sold more than a million copies in the U.S. alone and produced many memorable tunes. It's long been considered a stone-cold classic.
And that's a major reason why fans are so excited about the Cowboy Junkies' upcoming trip the Bay Area.
The group will perform "The Trinity Session" in its entirety during each of its two local concerts -- Thursday at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco and Saturday at the Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse in Berkeley.
The Canadian family-centric band -- featuring guitarist-songwriter Michael Timmins, vocalist Margo Timmins, drummer Peter Timmins and bassist Alan Anton -- is always great in concert. Yet, these "Trinity Session" shows should be really special.
Fans evidently agree with that assessment. Both of these shows sold out very quickly.
From the archives:
Here is my most recent interview with the Cowboy Junkies' Michael Timmins. I spoke to the fabulous songwriter-guitarist before the band's Bay Area dates last year.
Q I'm always impressed by how many tour dates the band does each year. What keeps you motivated to stay on the road?
A There is definitely an economic side to it, but, truthfully -- unless you are making millions of dollars doing it -- I don't think you could do it unless you really love it. It's hard work, especially as you get older. It's important to the band. It's important to our vitality. Every couple of years, we sit back and reassess how we approach the touring thing -- the number of days we want to do, how long we want to go out for and those kinds of things -- because it becomes more complicated with families. But it's still real fun, that's for sure.
Q What does Margo do with all the flowers she gets from the fans at your shows?
A If we have a bus, she often takes them. It drives us nuts, because the bus gets packed with flowers -- and vases filled with water aren't the best thing on a moving vehicle. Sometimes she'll give them away -- like she'll give them to a waitress or somebody who has been nice to her. Various things. She tries to make sure (the flowers) get appreciated, one way or the other.
Q Tell me about the band's recent "Nomad Series." Why did you decide to release a four-disc set, spread out over many months?
A We had shed ourselves of any (record) contract we had ever had. We were completely independent, so we had the luxury of doing whatever we wanted to do. We didn't need to get permission. We came up with an idea for a double album, then a triple album. That morphed into four albums in 18 months.
Q You're one of my favorite songwriters. Yet, the band is also known for doing incredible work with covers. To many people, "Sweet Jane" is now as much a Cowboy Junkies song as it is (author) Lou Reed's.
A I think that's a sign of a good cover, when people sort of associate it with you. Obviously ("Sweet Jane") is the classic case for us. But there is a few like that -- such as a lot of the Townes Van Zandt songs (that we cover). That's a compliment when people feel like you've taken a song and put your own stamp on it.
Q Plus, with these cover songs, you might be introducing songwriters to new listeners. That's got to be gratifying.
A People come to us and say that they got into Townes Van Zandt because they heard a couple of our (versions of his) songs. That's the best feeling. We are hoping that people will do the same with Vic Chesnutt once they hear some of his songs off the ("Nomad Series"). It's one of the many reasons you do a cover -- to point in a direction that you have been influenced, and hope that people sort of follow that.
Q The band began putting out records independently in the early 2000s, after a lengthy run on major labels. Why did you decide to go that route?
A We did 10 years with the majors. We did our time. Overall, it was very fruitful for us. Through the power that the majors had, we were able to reach out around the world and get our name out there. It allowed us to then, 10 years later, go out there and connect with the audience without the need for a major label.
As record labels were beginning to fall apart at that time, it was getting very stressful. We felt we were explaining ourselves and trying to get permission to do things, rather than making music. The energy that was being spent in that was taking its toll. It made making music not fun, and that's not good.
Q You write the songs that your sister, Margo, sings. That's an interesting band dynamic. What do you do with your compositions that you don't think are right for Margo?
A Even if I feel that a song is going to be tough for Margo to sing, but I like the song, I will present it to her anyway. Margo, over the years, usually surprises me. She usually finds a way into those songs. They might take on a different tone or meaning from what I initially had. That's the great thing about writing songs. So, I never try to second guess what Margo can or cannot sing.
Q Does she factor into your songwriting process? Do you find yourself trying to write a song that will work for her?
A I try not to, because then I might start to censor myself, thinking, "She wouldn't sound good singing this, so I won't write that." You're putting a whole other layer of expectation on the song. It's almost a sense of self-censorship by doing that. I try to just think of songs as mine, and they aren't going to go anywhere besides me and my guitar. Then I just present them.

What are the answers?February 05,2013
What are the answers?
Does the mayor know how to use email?
I have politely and courteously sent emails to Mayor Thomas Lauzon over the past three weeks. I have yet to receive a response from him. If perhaps someone in his office reads this, would you give the mayor a quick tutorial on email? Thank you.
The two questions I am still waiting for him to answer for me are:
What would indicate an illegal sale in a parking lot that would draw the attention of your police? Would they check on every sidewalk sale of a vehicle or motorcycle? Would they run over to verify every sale or trade of cigarettes between two people to make sure theyre of age? Are they going to talk to everybody looking at and admiring a firearm in the parking lot? Seems almost like harassment of law-abiding citizens.
What is the ordinance you referred to? I read through the ordinances listed on the city of Barres home page, and didnt find anything relevant.
Again, as stated in my email, Im not one of your citizens but do travel through Barre quite often. I would appreciate the courtesy of a response to my emails.

OAKLAND -- The Warriors got the win, outlasting Washington 101-92.
But their inability to put away the weary, short-handed Wizards on Saturday led to star point guard Stephen Curry spraining his right ankle.
Curry, who had game-highs with 35 points and eight assists, rolled his right ankle on a fast break midway through the fourth quarter. He was taken to the locker room and didn't finish the game.
"I'm fine," Curry said after the game, his right foot in the usual bucket of ice. "Don't worry about my ankle. It's just another episode. I'll get through it like I usually do. I've just got to get my treatment."
Curry probably shouldn't have been in the game. The Warriors didn't quite squander a 21-point lead but made it so nervously close that the starters had to come back in. Golden State entered the fourth quarter up 18, but the lead was down to 14 early in the fourth quarter when coach Mark Jackson summoned Curry from the bench.
He checked in with 9:08 left and the Warriors up 84-68.
"In an ideal world, we stretch the lead and he doesn't play anymore," Jackson said. "But my mindset wasn't that it was over for him. My mindset was to give him a quick breather and (send him in to) close the deal."
Just over two minutes later, Golden State's advantage was down to 88-80. Curry drilled a 3-pointer, his sixth of the game, to put the Warriors up 91-80 with 6:27 left. Then he scooped up his second steal and headed on a fast break.
Wizards swingman Cartier Martin reached out to grab Curry to take the intentional foul and stop the fast break. Curry hopped to evade Martin with an around-the-back dribble. When he landed, he rolled his right ankle on the hardwood.
Curry went down immediately and grabbed his right ankle. He slapped the floor with his right hand in frustration. After trying to walk it off, he made his two free throws and checked out of the game with 6:03 left.
Jackson said Curry tried to go back in.
"I got the stare down and the towel thrown on the floor as I told him that was it," Jackson said. "We're going to be smart. ... He'll get treatment, take care of it and we'll act accordingly."
Golden State got a jumper from rookie forward Harrison Barnes and six straight free throws to stave off a huge letdown. In the end, the Warriors secured an important victory to start the five-game homestand, reaching the 40-win plateau for the first time since the 2007-08 season.
Golden State sits a game ahead of Houston for the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference and 31/2 games ahead of the No. 8 seed Los Angeles Lakers.
"We didn't do a great job (of finishing the game). We had to bring the starters back," forward David Lee said after totaling 11 points and 15 rebounds. "But at this point in the season, we're just going to take it game by game. It's easy to try to put themes on things. But right now, we're playing better defense overall ... and we're balanced offensively. We're just going to try to keep it going."
But the victory took a back seat to the health of Curry.
It was his third time spraining the same ankle, which has caused him problems the last three seasons.
He sprained it at a shootaround Jan. 15 when he landed on the foot of rookie center Festus Ezeli while chasing down a rebound. He then sprained it in the third quarter at Toronto on Jan. 28 when he stepped on the foot of Raptors center Aaron Gray.
He missed a total of four games from those two sprains. Golden State went 2-2 in those games.
Curry will get Sunday off before the Warriors host the Lakers on Monday.
"I know the Lakers are coming in, a team that is right behind us, and we need that game," Curry said. "So I'm going to try to do everything I can to play, but I've got to make sure I'm ready. ... This year when I've done it, it's been pretty quick to recover. Just shows how strong my ankle is after two surgeries. So I expect the same."

There are so many things that I never even considered might be affecting my teeth. I am a diet coke girl and I have no desire to quit drinking it. I hear drinking through a straw is better for your teeth than drinking straight from the can.

Carbon Monoxide
CO can cause harmful health effects by reducing oxygen delivery to the body's organs (like the heart and brain) and tissues. At extremely high levels, CO can cause death.
Exposure to CO can reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. People with several types of heart disease already have a reduced capacity for pumping oxygenated blood to the heart, which can cause them to experience myocardial ischemia (reduced oxygen to the heart), often accompanied by chest pain (angina), when exercising or under increased stress. For these people, short-term CO exposure further affects their body's already compromised ability to respond to the increased oxygen demands of exercise or exertion.

Word of warning, its been reported this app, if it believes you are using pirated software, it collects some personal information from the user's address book and finance data and sends them to the developers' servers on the background without giving any warning or asking for permission.
Adore this app - took one look at it and bought it. Netbanking sounds interesting...
love this app...but I haaaaaaate the icon
I tried almost all e-banking apps on the Mac market.
Squirrel matches all my needs: cheap, neat, nicely integrated to Mac OSX (smart folders, tags, core technology,...), easy to use, and the most important functions are here. Budgets, reports (beautifully printed if needed) and recurring operations. You can even connect to your online bank within the app itself.
Great app! Used it for my holiday expenses, when I couldn't access my online bank info. Works like a charm!
fantastic app :D made my life very easy
I enjoy using squirrel. Its reporting features are not quite as robust as I would like, but overall, is a very slick app.
I want to really like this app, but i cant seem to put in recurring payments like rent which is really annoying!

I recently upgraded from 1.04 to 1.10.5 and now I can't play back any of my .mkv-files.
I had the same issue in 1.10.1 and had hoped that the addressed fixed flaw concerning transcoding might had solved it, which it didn't.
When just trying to play a file (usine MEncoder?), the error I usually get is "The data is corrupted." followed by an icon saying the same thing.
So I choose the #-TRANSCODE-#-option where I get four (4) options:
sample.mkv [MEncoder]*
MEncoder {Audio: AC3/Undetermined}*
TsMuxer {Audio: AC3/Undetermined}*
All these four options show the correct timestamp for the file, 1'04".
None of them can play the file though, not even the audio.
In 1.04 it works if I transcode using TsMuxer but not in 1.10.1 or 1.10.5
In 1.10.5 I get this:

Great job at getting started...remember slow and steady wins the race. Any time I got shin splins it was because I was trying to go too fast and one thing that also really helped me was 'relaxing' when I ran. I had to mentally tell myself to relax my body and breathe while I was running and never realized just how tensed up I got through my shoulders etc. and it seemed to help my whole body and could therefore run even longer. Keep it up you can do it!! :)
Hi, am restarting C25K - repeating W1 this week (tried to start it last week, but work got in the way), am in England so holiday weekend this weekend, did W1D1 on Saturday morning, 2nd run this morning. Finding it tough, but am loving getting out early in the morning, seems to fill me with energy for the whole day.
Looking forward to doing a 5k race in October - a friend organises a race every year to raise money for cancer charities, and I've committed to doing this race. So nearly five months to prepare, would love to be able to run the whole 5k.
I've been hiking every week, but haven't actually run in over a year. I decided it was time to add in some running again to help get into better shape. Just did W1D1 tonight! Tomorrow night it's time to pick up new running shoes. The ones I currently own are not going to cut it.
Looking forward to getting through this program to the very end!
Just did W1D1 and did better than I expected. I hadn't planned on doing it tonight, but after I finished my 30 minutes with my personal trainer, I was feeling so good that I decided to go for it! I did a pace of a 16 minute mile, which I am proud of because I am NOT a runner. It is also the minimum pace requirement for the half marathon I want to enter. I am feeling very motivated right now!
I did W1D1 last night. I took it very literally and went straight from the couch to the treadmill. It was painful. But I just stretched and did the program as it was laid out. I didn't wanna add any fluff stuff to it since I knew I would have to do Day 2 today. I'm excited to be back on track.
My daughter and I finished W1 D3 last night. I was really proud of her. She has a cold and wasn't feeling it. But she pushed through. Tomorrow we're on to Week 2 and I'm really excited.
I just completed W1D2. It was harder to get myself out the door (season allergies), but easier to complete the workout. On D1 I walked most of the 4th jogging section, today I jogged every time I was supposed to!
It's good to see everyone doing so well, and nice not to be alone in this!
bit bummed today was going to do W2D2 today but my sciatica has flared up and can hardly walk, will have to wait a few days before i can continue,, i'm not givig up but may have to go back to week 1 and start again
Went for W1D2 last night. Two days in a row was pretty tough but I powered through. Who knew that 4 months of no working out would set me back so far. But I'm glad to be getting my routine down again. I know it's gonna get easier ... it's gonna get easier right?? Next workout is a weekend workout, which my body seems to enjoy more than after work workouts.
Today is W2 D2. We've been keeping a steady every other day routine. I try to walk a few miles on my off days. What kind of cross training do you do on your non-running days?
Week 2 day 1 completed yesterday.
First week was a bit rough, especially day 3 where I really started doubting that I could step up to the week 2 pattern. Thankfully, W2D1 was actually so far the one that felt the easiest, especially with regards to my lower back. It's been hurting quite a bit during week 1, but almost nothing so far in week 2. Hoping it stays that way . We have W2D2 scheduled for Friday afternoon, and D3 for Sunday, let's see how everything is after that
I'm restarting C25K for the second time--completed it the first time in 2010. Just did W1D3 yesterday and it felt great. I loved the feeling I got when I was running before and I really missed it when I had to stop due to a partial tear in my Achilles last October. I couldn't wait to get clearance to begin running again! I'm not fast by any means (I run just a little faster than I walk), but I am running/jogging and I definitely feel better when I do!
I, too, am not a fast runner. My run is also not much faster than my walk (and my walk is none too fast!). Sometimes I get a little intimidated by those posting fast times, but I just tell myself, I'm 62 years old and I'm running - not fast, but I'm running. Well, at least 90 seconds at a time! I think I'll just be happy if I can actually run an entire 5k, even if it takes me an hour. Just finished W2D2.
Just completed W1D3, didn't think I'd manage to run today, was expecting a long day at work - well, I got the long day, but went straight to gym after work and ran on the treadmill. Feel really good and looking forward to W2!
Did W2D1 this morning, was sort of expecting to have to walk during at least one of the runs, but managed to run through (OK, I paused at the start of the first fun for a couple of seconds to say hello to a really cute little puppy), the 90 seconds seemed to go really quickly and I was surprised a couple of times when the podcast told me I had to slow down and walk now. I think I may have been running at a slightly slower pace but who knows? My normal running pace is pretty slow anyway.
After I'd finished the podcast I had about half a mile to walk back to the car, and when I'd finished the cooldown I thought "I bet I could just run to that tree over there". So I did, who knows where that came from! And then a cloud of swifts came swooping down from the sky, flying all around me - not in a scary Alfred Hitchcock way, but just like that moment in every Disney movie you've ever seen where the little woodland animals and birds come to help out the princess. Not that I looked much like a Disney princess, but hey, it was quite a moment!
Looking forward now to what W2D2 might bring...

This show was part of the "2009 Fall Tour."
The Light -> Slave -> Tweezer was great. Light went everywhere.
Trey looked like he was having a blast all night, from Chalkdust on. Dancing and smiling and doing little leg moves. Eating it up (letting little grins sneak out as he was waiting during the Divided pause).
I should ass that the "transition" into Wading was really botched. Page seemed to lose his fingers and Trey was singing in the wrong key.
Good show, not great. Although nothing beats Phish in the Garden . . .
Great high energy openers followed by a funky wolfman's provided a great jumping off point for the band's triumphant return to MSG. I've been defending Ocelot as a personal favorite recently against the growls of some phriends, but I can't say I disagree with their assertion that the song is stretched somewhat. I personally like the whining guitar solo at its inception but dont think they should escalate it to an arena rock level as they seem to do relentlessly these days. Crowd uninvolved in brian & robert, poor heart lacked a trey solo but he nailed the final riff. Sample was broken when trey missed a chord, but they made up for it with a gift of Peaches en Regalia...hadn't been played in over a decade!
straight forward ripping show from start to finish...this was not a sloppy party like philly and albany, but more rather a wed night in new york that blew the doors down
this will be the show you reach for over and over come winter time, screw the setlist junkies, if you really want to hear a tight show, play this one
Second set is tremendous fun! Light is as good as you've heard, though I'll probably return more often to the blissful Gorge version; Tweezer is a high-energy guitar explosion straight out of 1995; Hood is fine; and Antelope shreds nicely. The highlight is the Light > etc. > Joy run, as you'd imagine. Yeah, Wading kicks off a little awkwardly, but so what? The boys love playing that song and it's a tearjerker (remember Coventry? SPAC '04? or even 7/2/97?!). And few bands are as fleet of foot as Phish - little errors are opportunities for these guys.
If you're wondering how this show compares to the previous two or three, the answer is 'The way to compare shows is to hear them and endeavour to love them all.' That said, the second set starts off powerfully, and lately you get the sense there's some powerful synthesis just beyond the horizon. We've had that sense all year, of course. It's getting stronger though. And the best moments of this show are very, very fine indeed.
Last night many of the best parts of jams were in the more medium energy section of the jams. Ocelot in particular, Trey was really sick towards the end. I've definitely seen better shows in my day, but I had a blast.
MSG rules!
the crowd was on the young side (definitely felt like an old-timer), and i was surprised by the realization that phish will be around for many more years to come: its just slightly different incarnations of the same thing as time passes (think phish in the 90s => the dead in the 70s, phish today => the dead in the 80s).
Definitely a great show, one of the hardest rocking I've seen, and they totally redeemed themselves for the last show I saw (Columbia, MD - the worst I've ever been to).
Additionally, I just knocked off a 4-year goal and qualified for the Boston Marathon by running Philadelphia on November 22nd. That morning as I walked to the starting line, I put my full 160gb iPod on shuffle and somehow, the first song to come up was a mammoth 22-minute Run Like An Antelope. I ditched the iPod at the start, but that song and memories of great times at those shows was all I needed to groove on for the next 3 hours. Needless to say, the end of the second set last night felt really special. I'm so thankful to have these guys back and to have this community of music fans.
Guess I'm just thinking about the few youngsters who "do tour." I can't imagine seeing the same songs over and over throughout the course of a longish tour. I understood when they announced the return that songs would be played "until they got it right" or something to that effect. But really? Are the songs in current rotation going to eventually be pared down to 20 or 30 selections, rote recital replacing the spontaneous manifest destiny setlist of yore?
Sorry this isn't a proper review but it's a feeling I've been having for a while now and curious if anyone else shares it.

Article on Introducing PetStore 2.0
By Shreedhar Ganapathy on Mar 27, 2007
Blueprints team members Inderjeet Singh, Mark Basler and Sean Brydon recently teamed up with Sun staff writer Dana Nourie for an article Introducing the Java PetStore 2.0 Application.
There is a lot of interest among Java developers to learn how next generation dynamic web technologies such as Ajax can be put to use in Java EE applications that deploy in an enterprise setting. The article has been very popular and generated many thousands of hits since publication a couple of weeks ago. The PetStore Blueprint application's value proposition to developers is to show how one can use Web 2.0 technologies with end-to-end Java EE apps.The Blueprints project provides many such learning artifacts. A great way to learn more in this space is the Blueprints Solutions Catalog which is now hosted live with a view app at our web application developers' page. The viewer app is itself a Web 2.0 app and provides content organized into useful categories. See more Web 2.0 samples here.
The Blueprints apps have been tested with various releases and builds of GlassFish. The Java EE SDK includes Blueprints apps so that is the easiest way to get both the GlassFish application server and the above applications in one download.

text: These 3 (or 2 depending on what you find to buy) novels are set in a near-future where global warming actually causes serious environmental changes so quickly that the Mediterranean Sea is being filled across the straights due to water levels rising, masses of people had to come in from coastal lands as those are now under water, and... the resulting political turmoil that came from that. The politics are essentially a socialist party, a conservative party, and then the giant corporations that have sprung up in the wake of the warming who command more power than the government. One of those is Event Horizon. Add to this mix some folks who have government implanted glands that allow them to perceive whether or not someone is lying or the ability to see into the future for a while and you've got all the makings of a decent story. So, there's the backdrop in a just a few sentences... Sadly, the issues the characters face are just lacking in gravitas. Maybe its just me and me not being a huge detective story fan. I am just not the best guy on the planet to review this sort of a book because I haven't read enough of them. I enjoyed the series buuut.... I won't be going out buying in hardback and hunting down signed copies. Again, the biggest problem I had is that the conflict in the stories is just sorely lacking in gravitas. I give this series a C- but honestly I think most of that is because I am not a detective novel fan. Did anyone else out there enjoy this series?

The North Tahoe Rams Pee Wee and Mitey Mite teams both played their home openers on Saturday in back-to-back battles against Reno's Blue Squads.
The day was enhanced by two first-time events for the Rams: full concessions throughout the day and Incline Middle School's Kayla Smothers' outstanding performances of the National Anthem prior to both games.
Regarding the games, Rams Pee Wee and Mitey Mite head coaches Scott Wilderman and Kurt Frankenberg agreed there must be something in the water on that end of town. Speaking as the Rams Association President.
"Reno typically fields multiple teams at each level, and they roster their kids according to residential zip code," said Wilderman, speaking as the Rams' association president. "The Blue teams are always very well prepared and stacked with great athletes. Both our teams surprised the heck out of them with how well and hard we played. We gave them a real run in both contests.
"I'm so proud of how tough and talented every kid is on both our teams. They all played great, and proved the Rams can play with anyone at any level. Nobody will take us for granted this year after our showings against the Reno teams.
