Traveling with your pet can be a great experience, especially if you plan out everything until the last detail so that there wouldn't be any surprises once you reach the chosen destination.
There are many per friendly hotels all over the world. More and more hotels are becoming per friendly. But it not only hotels that accept pets nowadays but as well restaurants and other public places. Some places will allow not only dogs but as well other types of animals.
In order to make a wonderful experience from your holiday travel, both for you and your dog, here are some things you should be aware of and check out in time, so that everything goes as planned since the very start of your holidays.
When booking at a pet friendly hotel, you should definitely as whether they have size or breed restrictions. For example, some pet friendly hotels allow only small dog breeds, not the bigger breeds however. From the other side, some hotels allow any dog breed, so make sure to check out whether your dog is allowed in the hotel before you place any deposit and make a reservation.
Another thing that you should ask is whether there are additional fees as cleaning charges or maybe refundable damage deposits. Some pet friendly hotels will require such additional fees.
Next, as all dogs like to go out for a walk, make sure to check out whether there are any places nearby to walk the dog. It can be some park, or just a simple grass area where your dog can his thing when in need. Also, some hotels will offer dog walkers/sitters, but if not, make sure to check out whether there are some in the area, that you can hire.
Of course, it is very important that you know whether the hotel gives dog beds, crates and food bowls. If not, you will have to take your own.

UEFA plans racism crackdown with minimum of 10 match suspension for players
Updated: Wednesday, 10 Apr 2013 12:56 | Comments
Players found guilty of racist offences will be banned for a minimum of 10 matches under proposals revealed by UEFA's general secretary Gianni Infantino.
The UEFA chief also said there would be partial closure of stadiums for a first incident of racist abuse by fans and a full closure for a second offence.
The proposed sanctions would affect all matches in European competition.
Infantino told the Soccerex forum in Manchester: "We have to have sanctions and they must have a deterrent effect and what we are proposing is if a player or official is convicted of racism they should receive a 10-match suspension at least.
"If supporters at a club are found guilty of racist abuse the first sanction will be a partial closure of the part of the stadium from which the racist abuse took place.
"For a second offence there will be the full closure and a minimum fine of €50,000."
In the two high-profile cases of racist abuse by players in England, John Terry was banned for four matches and Luis Suarez for eight.

Tesla Jumps as Musk Hints at 'New Strategy' (Update 1)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Telsa Motors
Earlier today, Musk tweeted that the electric car maker is going to unveil a new strategy tomorrow, adding that "owners will like this."
Announcement of new @teslamotors strategy tomorrow. Tesla owners will like this.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 25, 2013
Musk did not specify what the company's new strategy will be, but one can only guess. Tesla recently announced a new financing program on its Model S car. As part of the program, the South African-born Musk is personally going to stand by the resale value of the Model S, using the same as the Mercedes S Class.
Pacific Crest analyst Ben Schuman estimates that about 60% of Tesla's customers will use the new financing plan. "Required lease accounting results in delayed revenue, but is gross-margin accretive for the first 36 months, which makes it much easier for Tesla to hit its 25% gross-margin target," Schuman wrote in his note. He rates Tesla "market perform."
Always keen to show off his sense of humor, Musk also tweeted about the recent run-up in Tesla's share price.
Seems to be some stormy weather over in Shortville these days— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 25, 2013
Since reporting earnings in February, Tesla shares have jumped nearly 33%, far outpacing the 2.6% move in the Nasdaq.

The San Ramon Valley High boys basketball team may be having one of its best seasons in recent memory. But the goals the Wolves set for themselves a few months back are all still possible.
A year removed from a 13-13 overall record and a fourth-place finish in the East Bay Athletic League, San Ramon Valley -- now 22-3 after a 67-40 victory over Amador Valley on Tuesday -- can capture its first EBAL title in four years with a victory over host Monte Vista on Friday in the regular-season finale for both teams. Monte Vista is 12-1 in the EBAL, and San Ramon Valley is 11-2 and already owns a win over the crosstown rival Mustangs.
Following their 36-31 loss to De La Salle, the Wolves regrouped and have won eight straight to put themselves in this position.
"I think they felt that they were not achieving what they had set out to do in terms of making this a championship journey," San Ramon Valley coach John Raynor said of his team's 3-2 start in league play. "We are on a championship journey quest, and we've got a chance now."
Raynor said chemistry and unselfishness have played integral roles in the Wolves' success. Starters Jerry Karczewski and David Gunn have provided senior leadership, juniors Keith Smith, a guard, and center Gregg Polosky have made dramatic improvements and the team's lone sophomore, Austin Henderson, provides another perimeter threat.
Now the Wolves face Monte Vista, winners of six straight, with the league title on the line.
"Last year, after a not super successful season, it's nice to know that we have each other's backs," Polosky said. "Hopefully we can get it done."
NO BENCH, NO PROBLEM: Even with just seven available players, the Piedmont girls have remained a factor in the ultra-tough WACC-Foothill Division.
With seniors Lauren Seyranian, JoNae Gonzales and Bailey Thompson all playing at a high level, the Highlanders are in third place in arguably the East Bay's deepest league.
Piedmont's roster wasn't supposed to be so tiny. But with starting post Kelsey Fennell leaving to study abroad and four transfer students from Oakland Athletic League schools being denied their athletic eligibility by the North Coast Section, there's little margin for foul trouble or injuries.
Still, the Highlanders (16-8) stand a good shot to win at least 20 games for the fourth time in five years.
Plus, the challenge of the WACC-Foothill could have them primed for a strong postseason run. Last year, the Highlanders reached the NorCal Division IV final.
"(The league) does play a role in the playoffs because you've seen everything," Piedmont coach Bryan Gardere said. "If you run into ball pressure or bigger players, you're not too overwhelmed."
The Highlanders also have a scoring machine in Seyranian. The 5-foot-11 guard, who picked UC Davis despite interest from several bigger programs, is averaging 26 points and 11 rebounds in WACC play.
Over a two-day period last week, she scored 35 points against Hayward and 36 in a nonleague win over St. Vincent-Petaluma.
"Being a senior, she's confident and shooting the ball extremely well," Gardere said.
As for the transfer students, Gardere is hopeful there could finally be a resolution to their situation next week.
Even though they aren't allowed to participate in games, the four players are allowed to practice with the team and sit on the bench during games. Gardere said they've been an asset to the short-handed Highlanders.
MILESTONE NIGHT: Carondelet point guard Natalie Romeo reached 2,000 career points Tuesday night while also becoming the program's No. 2 all-time scorer, behind only Jayne Appel.
Romeo, who will play at Nebraska, is also approaching school records in career steals and assists.
Staff writer Stephanie Hammon contributed to this notebook.

Product Description
Experience the thrill of fencing -- board game style!
In this two-player game, tactics, skill, and a little bit of luck will determine the best fencer. Teach yourselves the concepts with the basic game, test yourselves with the standard game, and challenge yourselves with the advanced game. Cards fly back and forth as the fencers attack, and parry.
Who will be bold enough to attack first? Is it possible to win with that initial attack or has your opponent beguiled you into an attack while waiting to mount a parry-riposte?
En Garde is a very dynamic game -- strategically rich, yet easy to learn and play. Three levels of rules are included in the game.

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 4.2 in 10 reviews
En Garde has been around since 1993, and is one of Knizia's better card game fillers. The basic design of this game also lies at the core of David Sirlin's 2011 game, Flash Duel (Second Edition), which has enjoyed considerable independent success over the last year. En Garde as originally conceived by Knizia, is a game about the sport of fencing, and in 2009 it appeared in this great new edition from Gryphon Games that helps give it even more sparkle than the original edition from almost 20 years ago.
The impressive game-play is unlike any other two-player game I've played, in the tug-of-war style battle it offers. Players each place their swordsman - represented by a lovely metal miniature - on the mounted gameboard. Players draw cards from a common deck of cards which contains cards numbered 1 through 5, and play a single card to move their swordsman forwards or backwards. Moving forward the exact distance between you and your opponent is considered an attack which your opponent must parry, otherwise he takes a hit. Players will move back and forth, jostling for position in an attempt to strike the winning blow - an activity which only takes a few minutes.
I don't often see myself praising a Knizia game for theme, but I'm doing it here. Additionally, En Garde is easy to learn, quick to play, and fun. Really, Knizia got almost everything perfect! With the great components of the Gryphon Games edition, I'm very pleased to have this in my collection. If you're looking for a light and clever game with a novel theme and strong bluffing element, you won't be disappointed.
EndersGame, BGG reviewer
Profile: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/EndersGame
Reviews: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/37596
I look for games with really original ideas, but usually just find a familiar plot with a change of illustrations. This game is great because it is totally unlike anything I've seen before. It's one of very few games that made me say, 'Wow, that's clever.' Don't be put off by the fact that play is rather short. Think of it as an aperitif rather than a main dish.
Short games deserve their own special place in a gamer's closet. After all, we don't always have time for a 90 minute Elfenland, or even a 45 minute Carcassonne. So games that play in 20 minutes or less are a special breed: very light, uncomplicated games with not too much brainwork. And sadly, they are rarely well themed, which takes away from replayability. The double whammy is that Reiner Knizia's numbered card games tend to be dry like the riverbeds of Baja California, and so imagine my surprise upon playing this gem of a game.
Production of this simple little game is nearly off the charts. Heavy fencing figures ('meeple' humanoid silouettes, who, strangely enough, both look suspiciously like Count Dracula), a nicely illustrated deck of cards, a beautifully illustrated board depicting a fencing field surrounded by trees, shade, foliage and the like. (Mind you, this game is very pricey for such a light 2-player game, so I suppose you get what you pay for.)
Gameplay is simple enough, play a card, advance you figure. Das' it. If you can add numbers between 1 and 5 together, you can play this game (that means you, Joe Steadman. =) The beauty of the game is its simplicity and remarkable capture of the fencing aesthetic.
The deck of cards is numbered 1-5 with 5 of each card. Players have a hand of 5 cards to choose there action from. When a player plays a card, he advances (or retreats) that many spaces on the fencing ground. Players rush towards each other trying to push the other fencer back. Once a player is within striking distance (5 spaces or less) the player has an additional option: make a strike at the other player. At this point he may play more than one card. For example, if he is 3 spaces from his opponent, he may play any number of '3' cards to attack. Then the attacked player has an opportunity to parry by playing the same number of '3' cards. At this point, the parrying player may also counter attack. The key here is that since there are only five of each number, having three of a number guarantees a hit from that range (sicne your opponent couldn not parry it). But the kicker is that since you hold so many cards of that number, a smart opponent will make sure never to be that many spaces away from you. But as the draw deck evaporates, the players must takes risks, for if no hit is made when the draw deck runs out, then whomever was pushed back the furthest loses. This creates a remarkable tension and bluff as players move inside each others range trying to feel out what cards a player may have.
And when you tire of that way to play, the game includes extra cards that add some spice by introducing one rule change to a match, changing the tactics needed to win!
Amazingly light, and uncharacteristicly thematic, Duell is an excellent 2-player game. I almost feel bad only awarding 4 stars, but the high price point, and the repetitive nature of gameplay mean this game will be great filler for 2-player game nights, but probably not a game to be played every day. But if I am wrong, I'll come back and up the rating, because this game is close to excellence. Elegant, appealing, Duell is a game most people will want to pick up, and by far the best game in the Ravensburger 2-player series.

Women's soccer heads to Wagner, St. John's this weekend
Aug. 23, 2012
Stony Brook, N.Y. - The Stony Brook women's soccer team will visit two of the five boroughs of New York this weekend with trips to Wagner and St. John's on the docket. The Seawolves will battle the Seahawks on Friday at 4 p.m., before taking on the Red Storm Sunday at 1 p.m.
Stony Brook
The Seawolves will be looking for their first win of the 2012 campaign after posting an 0-1-1 record in the opening weekend of the season. Freshman Aley Leonardi (Kennebunkport, Maine) scored the lone goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw vs. Temple, taking a feed from junior Caitlin Pfeiffer (Holland, N.Y.) and depositing the ball in the back of the net for her first collegiate goal. For her efforts, Leonardi garnered America East Rookie of the Week honors.
The Seahawks will also be looking for their first win of the year after an 0-2 start. Wagner dropped its opener, 4-1, to Holy Cross, before losing its second game at Marist by a 2-1 count. Sydney McCarthy and Julie Vigliotti have each accounted for one goal, while Michelle Kawko is responsible for the team's lone assist. In net, Lisa Capelli has played all 180 minutes thus far and has made 15 saves.
St. John's
Picked to finish sixth in the BIG EAST's American Division in the preseason poll, St John's is off to a 1-1 start in 2012. The Red Storm knocked off George Mason, 2-0, to open the year, but fell to No. 9 Penn State by a 5-0 score over the weekend. Keeper Lauren Ferris earned the clean-sheet against GMU, while Morgan Ritter and Hailey Hemmer provided the scoring.

2013 Ag Woman of the Year recognized
TAMPA - At the Woman of the Year in Agriculture luncheon held Feb. 10 at the Florida State Fairgrounds, Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam recognized Lynetta Griner as the 2013 Woman of the Year in Agriculture. The award, now in its 29th year, recognizes women who have made outstanding contributions to Florida agriculture.
"Lynetta Griner's lifelong dedication to agriculture has impacted a generation - women and men alike - who look to her for leadership and as an example of agricultural promotion, stewardship and best practices," said Putnam. "Candidates who are considered for the Woman of the Year in Agriculture Award must have made outstanding contributions to Florida agriculture. The phrase 'outstanding contributions' certainly describes Lynetta Usher Griner."
Griner and her husband, Ken, own and operate Usher Land and Timber, Inc., in Levy County. A timber and cattle operation, their company was selected as the Logger of the Year on both the state and national level. They have also received awards for their dedication to environmental stewardship and wildlife conservation.
Griner is the current president of the Florida Forestry Association, the first female elected to that position in the association's 91-year history. In this role, Griner advocates for Florida's nearly $14 billion forestry industry and promotes the responsible and sustainable use of the state's forests.
Maine closing area to crab, lobster harvests
AUGUSTA, Maine - The state Department of Marine Resources is closing a small area at the mouth of the Penobscot River to the harvesting of crabs and lobsters for at least two years as a precautionary measure over concerns about possible mercury contamination.
The closure, which took effect Saturday, involves about 7 square miles. It applies to commercial and recreational fishermen.
Marine Resources Commissioner Patrick Keliher said in a news release Tuesday that the closure comes in response to information received in November about mercury contamination in muscle tissue from lobsters found in the area.
He says officials will conduct seasonal monitoring of mercury levels and decide after two years whether to reopen the area.
Ohio fruit growers wait to assess damage
MANSFIELD, Ohio - Ohio fruit growers are holding onto hope that this snowy, often brutally cold winter hasn't ruined their crops.
The president of the Ohio Fruit Growers Marketing Association, Bill Dodd, told the Mansfield News Journal that growers are sure there's been damage and can only wait for spring to determine the extent of it.
Growers used microscopes to analyze sample cuttings from their crops at a meeting last week, and very few of the plants appeared to still be alive.
Dave Riedel of Galion says farmers must wait to see whether the deep freezes have zapped just the crops or the plants themselves.
Wis. dairy farmers enjoying price boom
MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin's dairy farmers are getting nearly record-high prices for their milk, thanks to soaring demand, higher dairy exports and a smaller supply.
Milk production is down in part because dairy farmers culled their herds in recent years to weather the economic downturn. But now demand is up and, with prices dropping for the corn they feed their cows, dairy farmers should see healthy profits through this year, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.
"This is the dairy farmers' year to enjoy," said Mark Stephenson, the director of the Center for Dairy Profitability at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Dairy farmers are looking to squeeze every possible drop of milk from their cows, in part because demand for Wisconsin cheese is up domestically and abroad.
Cheese producers already take whatever they can get from Wisconsin dairy producers but now they have to import 15 percent of their milk from other states, said John Umhoefer, the executive director of the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association.
Wisconsin's specialty cheese producers played a big role in the growth of U.S. cheese exports. Jen Pino-Gallagher, a spokesman for the state's agriculture department, said state cheese exports for the first nine months of 2013 grew 23 percent compared with the same period in 2012, to $128 million.

It will still be another two weeks until ballots for the Rancho Mirage city council election get mailed out, but things are already heating up. Anti-gay slurs, theft and bullying are just some of the allegations being thrown around. At stake are three full-term council positions and one short-term position. The election is scheduled for April 8. Ballots will be mailed out March 10.
At the heart of the controversy is an anonymous mailer that was sent to a small number of Rancho Mirage residents on February 13. It shows openly gay incumbent Scott Hines shirtless with the message "No More Fab Party Guy Scotty." The letters of the words line up to spell out an anti-gay slur. "The gang of four has painted themselves into this corner with all of their nasty e-mails and mailers attacking me," said Hines. "So it's reasonable that the people of Rancho Mirage would point the finger. We have not done that, you have not heard any of those accusations from our campaign."
Hines is referring to current council members Iris Smotrich, Dana Hobart, Ted Weill and newcomer Charles Townsend Vinci. The four are running a joint campaign under the slogan "Experience You Can Trust." Smotrich, Hobart and Townsend are running against Hines for the three full-term positions. Weill is running against Stuart Ackley for the one short-term position. A note on the group's website denounces the mailer and speculates that it came from "someone friendly to Mr. Hines." "I take it as an effort to injure my campaign through devious and deceitful ways that are totally contrary to anything I believe or any of us believe," said Hobart.
Nearly two months before the mailer went out, Hines filed a police report alleging his I-phone was stolen from his city hall office during a closed session meeting. Hines says, the phone where the photo came from. In the police report, Hines told the officers about the upcoming election and that his opponents would be interested in obtaining information saved on the phone. To try and get to the truth, Hobart wants his team and Hines each to take a lie detector test. "We're really respecting law enforcement's lead on this," said Hines. "Dana Hobart doesn't tell us what to do or call the shots." Hines later said he would not take the polygraph test, doubting its accuracy.
Hobart says the election turned ugly far before the postcard incident. He cites a radio interview Hines did on January 11. "He referred to us as the gang of four, bullies, henchmen, that's where the campaign went off the rails," said Hobart.
While tensions continue to run high leading up to the April 8 election, Hines and the group of four do agree to one thing, voters should focus on the issues not on any brand of dirty politics. "The four of us believe that it is within the best interest of the city to make a change," said Hobart.
"I think it is unfortunate that one small group of people wants to seize absolute power and control in city hall," said Hines.
Hines also told us, the one candidate not involved in any of this, and not being asked to take a polygraph test, Stuart Ackley is working with the district attorney. Hines said Ackley is filing possible claims of voter fraud against Charles Townsend. NewsChannel 3 and CBS Local 2 will continue to investigate the claims.

Sony has confirmed that it plans to continue to provide free network services for Playstation owners. Playstation has said that they are looking at "how we can provide a service without people having to pay." Advertising has been suggested as one possible way for the company to fund content without charging users.
Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida said " We're more open about approaching and bringing services in to PS3 and PSP…We can't support all the needs of the consumer and there are great companies providing services on the PC already - so we're very open to provide the opportunity to those companies to reach our user base as well… We like to provide as many services as possible for free - we already provide our network access for gameplay for free - and the interesting thing about the network side and the Internet business is that there's a variety of revenue sources"
So, Playstation owners can expect to keep getting network access for free, at least for now. Based on Yoshida's statements we may also start seeing more free content show up as well.

>Thanks in advance for any help that can be rendered here.
>Just purchased a Dell Axim running Windows Mobile 5. One

>Or do you really need a seperate AV on the handheld?
I don't think anyone has seen Pocket PC viruses in the field, so you
don't need any antivirus software. At least not yet.
>The other question will seem really dumb, (and rightfully so) but
>I've never owned a handheld so I don't know. I'm confused about
>which type of software will work for the handheld. Most download
>sites use the term 'Pocket Pc'. Does this term refer to all
>handhelds in general? Or is Pocket Pc another operating system
>for another type of handheld? What confuses me even more is
>when I see 'Pocket Pc 2002 or 2003'.
You are not the only person confused; Microsoft has made this more
complicated than needed, and has changed names several times. Pocket
PC is defined by Microsoft, and is a "platform" based on the Windows
CE operating system; a "platform" is base operating system with some
tweaks plus some required applications plus hardware specifications.
Pocket PC, Pocket PC 2002, Pocket PC 2003, and Windows Mobile 5 for
Pocket PC are different versions of the platform. For more info, see
> Can I install any Pocket Pc software on my Axim?
Not quite.
The original Pocket PC supported several types of CPUs, so users
needed to know the type of CPU they had. Starting with Pocket PC 2002,
only ARM-compatible CPUs are supported, so CPU is no longer a problem,
unless you are looking at old software.
Some older programs have no trouble running on newer versions of the
platform, and some have many problems. Usually, a program either works
or doesn't, with no ambiguity.
Many installation programs run on the "desktop" (other end of
ActiveSync) and choose the right CAB (installation) file or say the
program won't work.
So you're almost certainly safe trying programs, unless you need to
pay or leave valuable info first, or don't have time.
>Any info would be greatly appreciate - thanks.

How does Horny Goat Weed work?Horny goat weed contains chemicals which might help increase blood flow and improve sexual function. It also contains phytoestrogens, chemicals that act somewhat like the female hormone estrogen, that might reduce bone loss in postmenopausal women.
Are there safety concerns?Horny goat weed extract is POSSIBLY SAFE when taken by mouth, appropriately. A specific extract of horny goat weed containing phytoestrogens has been taken by mouth for up to 2 years. Also, a different extract of horny goat weed containing icariin has been taken by mouth for up to 6 months.
However, some types of horny goat weed are POSSIBLY UNSAFE when used for a long period of time or in high doses. Long-term use of these other forms of horny goat weed might cause dizziness, vomiting, dry mouth, thirst, and nosebleed. Taking large amounts of horny goat weed might cause spasms and severe breathing problems.
A heart arrhythmia has also been reported in a man who took horny goat weed in a commercial product used for sexual enhancement. Research also shows that a specific multi-ingredient commercial product (Enzyte, Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals) that contains horny goat weed might cause abnormal heart beats when measured by an electrocardiogram. These changes might increase the chance of having a heart arrhythmia. However, since these products contain multiple ingredients, it is not clear if these effects are caused by horny goat weed or other ingredients.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Horny goat weed is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken by mouth during pregnancy. There is a concern that it might harm the developing fetus. Avoid using it. Not enough it known about the safety of using horny goat weed during breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid using.
Bleeding disorders: Horny goat weed slows blood clotting and might increase the risk of bleeding. However, it is not known if this is a big concern. In theory, taking horny goat weed might make bleeding disorders worse.
Hormone sensitive cancers and conditions: Horny goat weed acts like estrogen and can increase estrogen levels in some women. Horney goat weed might make estrogen-sensitive conditions, such as breast and uterine cancer, worse.
Low blood pressure: Horny goat weed might lower blood pressure. In people who already have low blood pressure, using horny goat weed might drop blood pressure too low and increase the risk of fainting.
Surgery: Horny goat weed slows blood clotting and might increase the risk of bleeding during surgery.

A Survey of Recent Developments in the Literature of Finance and Growth
James Ang
Monash College
Journal of Economic Surveys, Vol. 22, No. 3, pp. 536-576, July 2008
This paper provides a survey of the recent progress in the literature of financial development and economic growth. The survey highlights that most empirical studies focus on either testing the role of financial development in stimulating economic growth or examining the direction of causality between these two variables. Although the positive role of finance on growth has become a stylized fact, there are some methodological reservations about the results from these empirical studies. Several key issues unresolved in the literature are highlighted. The paper also points to several directions for future research.

Engadget, among other news sources, reported on Tuesday that the Consumer Electronics Association has announced a new connection standard for portable media players (PMPs). The idea is to create one universal connector and port/socket to charge and play portable devices.
Sounds great to me. Particularly in a world where more mobile devices are becoming PMPs. Now, can that connector also support media transfer so I can easily sync up any PMP with my DVR? Oh wait, that's called USB!

Farm and Forest
History of Forestry
Grandin Mill
The Mill at Grandin
in the Ozarks at the turn of the century was primitive in most places.
But not in the town of Grandin. Grandin was a mill town. And not
just any mill town. This company-owned lumber town hosted the biggest
sawmill in the United States, for its time.
The cities of the Midwest were growing fast, and founders
of the Missouri Lumber and Mining Company had correctly anticipated
the need for lumber to build them. They had soon worked out a way
to harvest, process and ship the vast virgin pine forests of the
deep eastern Ozarks.
Established in 1897, the town of Grandin was named
after the company's largest stockholder, E.B. Grandin. It was wholly
owned by the company, which built homes to house its workers, stores
to supply them, and churches, schools and hospitals to serve them.
More than 475 small frame houses were built to hold families of
various sizes. They rented for $1 per room per month. Many of them
still stand. Large numbers of smaller, starker unpainted shacks
to house single men were also built, and rented for $2 - $2.50 per
month. Most of them have since crumbled into decay. Larger homes
that housed company officials rented for $5 -$10 a month. Many of
them are still standing. Single women were housed in company boarding
houses, for which they paid $18 a month for a room and meals.
By 1909 the great forests were gone, and in 1910 the
company sold the cut-over land, and most of the town, and moved
on. Grandin today is a small town of 235 inhabitants and a tourism
destination for people interested in the history of forestry in
Mill Operation
Over the course of the mill's operation, tram lines
(temporary railway lines) were built out into the surrounding forests
as far as Shannon County to move logs directly from forest to mill.
Cut logs in the vast forests were loaded onto the tram cars and
hauled to Toliver Pond, just outside of town. They remained in the
pond for three or four days to soak off any dirt and debris that
might dull or damage a saw blade. From there, the logs were guided
onto a conveyor that lifted them from the pond and into the mill.
There were two mills at Grandin--the big mill and
the little mill. The big one held a circular saw, a band saw and
a gang saw. In one operation, the gang saw could cut a log into
a block and then turn it into dimension lumber. The big mill was
powered by nine boilers that ran three giant steam engines. It produced
160,000 board feet a day.
little mill operated the same way as the big mill, but was powered
by four boilers and one McDonough engine, and contained lath and
shingle mills in addition to the saws. It produced 60,000 board
feet of lumber, 48,000 feet of lath and 28,000 feet of shingles
a day.
The reason the mills' output was so great was that
the trees were so large. Many of the logs coming to the mill from
the ancient forests were nearly four feet in diameter. Smaller trees
were considered a waste of time, and no trees less than 11 inches
in diameter were ever taken to the mill. In the photo at right,
the man holds a two-foot measuring stick up to two freshly milled
boards. With a couple of inches to spare, the board he's measuring
is estimated to be about 26 inches wide.

Down by one goal with just over a minute to play, Gagner had the puck down low and the Oilers were doing everything in their power to take this one to OT. Gagner fired two hard wrist shots on Turco but both were turned aside until the third and golden effort squeezed by him. With 1:02 left, Sam Gagner tied the game. Unfortunately for the Oilers, the Dallas Stars had the same thing in mind. With 23 seconds to play, James Neal decided the fate of this game and snapped the Stars 10-game road losing streak.
It all started with a Penner take-away with 26 seconds to play in the second period. Penner got the puck over to Sam Gagner who was looming around Turco's right side. Waiting and ready Gags made no mistake but to bank one past Marty bringing the Oilers back within one. With just 18 seconds to play, Gagner gave his team some energy and showed the electric crowd that they wanted this win more than ever.
If we were to choose a 4th star of the game, it should go to Ryan Potulny. He gave the Oilers their first spark tonight with a nice second-effort goal at 13:12 of the first period on the power play. Potulny also picked up an assist on Sam Gagner's late goal in the third period to tie the game with 18 seconds to play. He finished the game with two points, four shots and went 50% in the face-off circle.
Since moving to Texas in 1993, the Stars have a 44-11-7 (.766) record against the Edmonton Oilers, their third-best points percentage against any NHL opponent. (ATL .875, CBJ .771) Despite their recent success, the Stars had not won in Rexall Place since Feb.1, 2008 before tonight.
"I knew that when we scored that goal late, we were going to win that hockey game. I knew it in my heart. Unfortunately it didn't grab my heart it grabbed my guts."
- Oilers Head Coach, Pat Quinn when asked by the media how he felt about the late loss.
"If we didn't have bad luck, we wouldn't have luck at all. As of late, we're running out of feet to shoot ourselves in."
-Oilers Dustin Penner comments on the loss.
Edmonton will host Patrick Kane and the Chicago Blackhawks next Tuesday January 26. The game starts at 7:30pm and will be broadcast on TSN, available in HD.

Skill Level Beginner
Before you can get started creating and modeling objects in CINEMA 4D, you really have to get hold of the Selection tool. The Selection tool is the counterpoint to the Move, Scale, and Rotate tools, and it allows you basically to select objects. That seems like a simple and obvious thing, but there are some subtleties to it. I have here a scene full of a whole of bunch of cubes, and they're just kind of arranged around. And I'm using the 3 key to orbit around my scene to show you kind of what's going on here. I'm in the Selection tool now, and it defaults to something called the Live Selection tool.
If I click and hold on that, there are three other Selection tools as well. I'm going to highlight this double line here and then when I let go, I now have all my selection tools visible on one little floating palette. I can always close that up at any time and get back to it by clicking and holding and highlighting that double line again. So let's leave that palette right there. The Selection tool allows you to select objects in the Editor window. What I mean by that is if I click on a cube, I've just selected it. Now if I click and drag, I'm selecting multiple cubes, lots of cubes. This is called painting a selection.
And you can see that I've selected a whole variety of cubes. In fact, let's back out a bit and take a look at the cubes that we have selected. You can see that we've selected all through the scene cubes. This is based on the Selection tool passing across the objects as I was painting with it. That is the Live Selection tool. It allows you to paint a selection. I'm going to switch to the Rectangular Selection tool, and the Rectangular Selection tool allows you to click and drag to draw a selection. And every time I do that, I end up with a new selection of objects based on where my rectangle covers.
The Lasso Selection allows you to draw a lasso much like you would in Photoshop; it's a free-form lasso tool. And you can see it gives me this great little overlay to show me where my lasso is going. So I can see what sorts of objects fall within it. I can grab that one right there. I'll deselect by drawing the lasso anywhere else. If I grab just that one object, you'll see that now it selected that one cube. I am going to click and drag over that guy and let go and you can see, as I let go, it selects both of those cubes.
The Polygon Selection tool is like the Lasso tool except that instead of drawing a free-form hand, it draws in straight line. So I click once and each time I click, it's going to create another side to that polygon, which simply means a shape with multiple sides. When I let go, it ends up drawing a selection around those objects. So I can click and make multiple selections like that. Now one of the cool things about the Selection tool is let's say you get a cube in there that you know you don't want. If I click on the Live Selection tool and I realize I don't want this particular cube, I can hold down the Ctrl key to remove objects from the selection.
The rule is, Shift adds to the selection; Ctrl removes from the selection. The last thing I want to talk about is something called Only Select Visible Elements. That's going to be really important when you're modeling. Let's make a new scene: Command+N or Ctrl+N. And I'm going to add a sphere to the scene. And I'm going to make that sphere editable by clicking on the Make Editable button. I can't see the polygons yet that make up that sphere because I need to go into Polygon mode. So if I click on the Polygon mode button, I now see the polygons that make up that cube.
If I switch to the Live Selection tool, I can paint a selection across the surface of that cube, make it any shape I want. Now, the thing you'll notice is that when I painted that selection, if I orbit around my sphere, you see that it did not select anything on the backside, and that's where Only Select Visible Elements comes in. If I turn that off, now when I paint a selection, if I orbit around, you can see that it's selected corresponding polygons that were directly opposite the field of view. So if I click in this view right here, it's like it's drawing a straight line down through the sphere from the point of view of the camera, and you can actually see that line going right down through.
So Only Select Visible Elements is an incredibly important tool when it comes down to modeling. So those are the basics of the Selection tool. It's got a lot of other options that will make your modeling process that much easier. Take some time and study it before moving on with CINEMA 4D practice.

Augusta Recreation and Parks employees sat down with city leaders today.
After claims of discrimination and harassment in the department, the workers opened up about their problems.
The employees did not hold back.
After years of filing grievances, they say they've been waiting for the opportunity to be heard.
They blame their department head...while commissioners are coming down on another department.
"I don't understand it," said 25-year employee Melinda Moody. "You all have the authority to tell him it's not going to be tolerated."
"It feels like harassment and retaliation," says 17-year employee Patricia Stracksoch.
As a part of an ongoing investigation, a committee from the Augusta Commission wanted to hear from workers who've filed grievances alleging discrimination and harassment by department head Tom Beck.
So far, city leaders say some of the employees' claims seem valid.
"It appears there are some improper hiring practices, it appears there are some improper promotional practices," said commissioner Calvin Holland.
Moody told the committee that when Beck took over Parks and Rec., he immediately tried to fire her. She says she's been threatened and says that she was told that even though she was nominated, she should forget about ever receiving Employee of the Month.
"Mr. Beck looked at me and asked, 'Are you a big girl? You a big girl Melinda, get over it. You'll never get it as long as I'm here. It ain't going to happen.'"
News 12 spoke with Beck about the allegations.
"Those allegations, as far as I'm concerned, are completely unfounded," he said.
But when employee Stan Brown showed the board nearly a dozen grievances he filed over a two-year period that were never responded to or investigated, the blame quickly turned to the Human Resources department.
"It appears the HR has not done their job," Holland said. "They dropped the ball on this one."
HR could not tell commissioners if they still had Mr. Brown's grievances on file, or what happened to them...leaving commissioners even more upset.
"I'm sick of it, I'm truly sick of it," said commissioner Marion Williams.
"It's troubling to think we have a department that hasn't been keeping up with the records," commissioner Joe Bowles said.
Again, these are all allegations. Commissioners have scheduled a meeting with other employees. After that meeting, Tom Beck will be asked to respond to these claims.
The HR department is not taking responsibility for the alleged ignoring of grievances. Spokesman Moses McCauley says any problems with records came under the watch of former HR director Brenda Byrd Pelaez.

Spring is a great time to pick up a crankbait and work it through the grass and lily pads before they get too thick. I recently re-read an article I wrote for FLW Bass magazine where I interviewed Ohio tournament angler Curt Fiessinger about cranking nonemergent grass and lily pads. Fiessinger had used the technique to target pre-spawn largemouth en route to winning the Buckeye BFL on Indian Lake in April of 2012, and he shared some great tips for this technique. Take a look at page 9 of the PDF (page 116 of the magazine):
Having recently used this technique, I have two additional notes for improving its effectiveness.
First, if you cut the hook that faces the front of the bait off of each treble hook, your bait will come through the pads and grass much cleaner than if you don't make any hook modifications. As to whether you'll lose more fish without all the hooks intact, the answer is probably yes. But losing a fish or two is a small price to pay for getting more bites.
Second, ditch your standard crankbait rod for something a little heavier. A medium graphite or glass rod won't give you the backbone you need to rip the crankbait out of the pads and grass as it gets hung up. Again, you might lose a fish or two with the heavier rod, but you'll get more reaction strikes as the bait slingshots free from snags.

The Stanley Hotel Announces it's Biggest Halloween Lineup Ever with its Twin Terror Weekends to celebrate the 2016 Halloween season. Tickets are on sale now!
The Stanley Hotel, known for its architecture, magnificent setting, and famous visitors, may possibly be best known today for its inspirational role in the Stephen King's novel, "The Shining." This Colorado hotel has been featured as one of America's most haunted hotels and with the numerous stories from visitors and staff, The Stanley Hotel continues to "shine" today, as it did in 1909 when first opened.
Forced by poor health to move West, F.O. Stanley and his famous Steamer arrived in Estes Park in 1903. Finding the town lacking in amenities, F.O. set out to change the local economy. On the 160 acres he purchased from Lord Dunraven, Stanley first built the main building of the hotel, one of 11 buildings in the original complex. Many of those original buildings remain in use today on the remaining 55 acres. Estes Park is the gateway to the Rocky Mountain National Park full of lush forests,
thriving wildlife, and over 300 miles of hiking trails. From horseback riding to mountain biking, there is no shortage of outdoor activities to keep everyone in the family entertained. Enjoy the majestic scenery of the Rockies and the unique Colorado lodging The Stanley offers. There is no hotel in Estes Park more appealing and mysterious. Book your reservation today or contact The Stanley Hotel for more information by calling (800) 976-1377.

Toyota Paseo ProblemsWorn Shift Bushings Will Cause Manual Transmission to Pop Out of Gear
On vehicles with a manual transmission, worn shift bushings can cause the transmission to pop out of gear, especially when coasting down in 1st or 2nd gear. Replacing all the shift linkage bushings is pretty straight forward and not expensive and will commonly correct this concern.
The Evaporative system may have problems with the vapor canister releasing charcoal pellets that plug the vent valve. Typically a Code P0441, P0442 and P0446 will be set. The key code is the P0446 which is a vent valve electrical failure. The proper repair is to replace the entire canister with all the valves as a unit. This is located on top of the fuel tank and is expensive. Our Technicians tell us that for awhile Toyota was covering these problems, but this may have changed. It would not hurt to call the dealer if this problem occurs to see if Toyota is still helping with these repairs.
At 125,000-150,000 miles, the Brake Master Cylinder may need replacing. It is critical to adjust the brake pedal to Master Cylinder pushrod clearance or the brakes will drag and over heat.

BLUE MT. LAKE - Alexandria Harris of Long Lake has been named managing director of the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts here. Her responsibilities include membership, fund-raising, grants and managing the office and staff.
Harris graduated with a bachelor's degree in History in 2011 from St. Lawrence University and completed her master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction a year later at State University of New York at Potsdam.
She has served as the center's office manager for over a year. The Board of Trustees was unanimous in naming her managing director.
Harris not only danced at St. Lawrence, she worked extensively in the St. Lawrence Theatre's costume shop. "The best way to understand things is from the inside," she said of her experience.
Members were overheard buzzing about the new appointment. An Indian Laker said, "Alexandria cares. She's very capable. This is win win!"
When asked of her goals, Harris didn't hesitate. "There's no better jumping off point for education and advocacy than the arts."
She added, "My mom instilled in me that you have to care greatly about what you do for a living. Which makes this much more than just a job."
Harris assumed her new responsibilities April 15.

An early effect of retinoic acid: cloning of an mRNA (Era-1) exhibiting rapid and protein synthesis-independent induction during teratocarcinoma stem cell differentiation.
Program in Cellular and Developmental Biology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115.
Vitamin A and its derivatives (retinoids) exhibit profound effects on the proliferation and differentiation of many cell types. However, the molecular mechanism by which retinoids exert these effects is unknown. Cultured murine F9 teratocarcinoma stem cells, which differentiate into nontumorigenic endoderm cells in response to retinoic acid (RA), have been used to identify genes regulated by RA. A cDNA library synthesized from F9 cells treated with RA for 8 hr has been screened with a cDNA probe enriched for sequences rapidly induced by RA, and a gene that exhibits the characteristics of a primary target for RA has been identified. This gene, early retinoic acid-1 (Era-1), encodes a 2.2- to 2.4-kilobase polyadenylylated RNA; the level of Era-1 mRNA rapidly and transiently increases up to 35-fold, depending on the concentration of exogenous RA. The increase in Era-1 mRNA is dependent on the continuous presence of exogenous RA. The RA-associated increase in Era-1 mRNA is seen even in the presence of protein synthesis inhibitors, but the increase is prevented by inhibitors of RNA synthesis such as actinomycin D. This increase in the steady-state level of Era-1 mRNA in F9 cells is a very early effect of retinoic acid on gene expression in this differentiation system.

Bill Gross Fed Up With the Election, the Parties, the PACs, and QE
Bill Gross is pretty angry.
The Bond King's latest missive, coming just ahead of next week's election, is an angry screed, in which he lashes out at the two-party system, political action committees, and quantitative easing, all the while bemoaning what has become the new normal state of the economy.
"Our two-party system continues to play ping pong with the American people, and the electorate is that white little ball going back and forth over the net," he says, and given the tone of this investment letter, you can bet – unlike Mike Bloomberg, The Economist, or the New York Post - that he won't be endorsing either President Obama or Mitt Romney.
Beneath the anger about the electoral system, and a running, and odd, reference to Flavor Flav, Gross gets to what's really bugging him: financial repression and quantitative easing.
Gross said back in his youth, circa 1958, when savings rates were around 4%, he would've needed $25 to produce $1.00 in interest, whereas today, due to the Federal Reserve's zero-interest rate policy, he would need $10,000. "Seems like it was much better to be a saver back in 1958 and much better to be a spender in 2012," Gross said.
This is where his missive goes beyond screed and gets back to a familiar theme for him: the new normal.
In both eras, he said, the $10,000 would eventually be spent — but the difference is that in 1958 the money would more likely be invested, whereas the goal of Fed policy is to force people not to invest but to spend, and that ultimately isn't healthy. "If it's being spent, then at some point the game will come to an end – my $9,975 will have provided me and the economy some breathing room and some time to kick the future 'big R' or 'little d' down the road; but it will end."
The economy, he said, rather than storing up "seed corn," is eating "caramel corn."
This is evidenced by a chart Pimco produced internally showing that over the past three years, the net national savings rate – the amount of government, household and corporate savings – has been negative, "and lower than it has ever been in modern history." The last time it occurred, he said, was during the Great Depression.
All of the money being created and freed up is elevating asset prices, but those prices are not causing corporations to invest in future production. Admittedly, the chart shows this downward spiral has been underway for decades, but financial repression and quantitative easing were supposed to be the extraordinary monetary policies that kick-started the real economy in the other direction. They have not. We have been using the lower interest rates, the $9,975 of free money, to consume as opposed to invest.
He admits Ben Bernanke was dealt a bad hand, and has gotten almost no cooperation on the fiscal side from Washington. Moreover, it doesn't appear he'll get any help anytime soon, given both sides seem far more interested in re-electing themselves rather than fixing the fiscal situation. "That is why Election Day seems like such a futile gesture to me," Gross said.
If monetary policy has shown its impotent limits, can we now trust Washington to constructively reverse a downward slide in our net national savings rate? I suspect not. I doubt if either Obama, Romney, or many of their economic advisors even know what the definition is, let alone how to reverse it.

One of these days, the Marietta High boys' and girls' soccer teams will play a home match on the Devola pitch.
That's a given.
Right now, though, the main field there is still not ready for play due to the summer drought.
Article Photos
Times file photo
Marietta High's Colin Jordan, right, battles Warren's Jacob Pearson, left, for the ball during prep soccer action at the Devola Soccer Complex last season. MHS will be hosting the Warriors at Don Drumm Stadium Thursday night, because the main pitch at the Devola Soccer Complex is not ready for play due to the summer drought.
The MHS lady booters' tentative target date for a match at the Devola Soccer Complex is Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. against visiting Coshocton, an East Central Ohio League opponent.
For the orange and black boys, they are expected to entertain New Philadelphia in an ECOL tilt Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. Actually, the Marietta boys (1-0-1) will be "hosting" a home match against arch-rival Warren on the artificial surface at Don Drumm Stadium Thursday at 7:45 p.m. The last time that the Tigers played there was in the 2011 sectional final, a 2-1 setback to Waverly.
In the meantime, it's been a season of mostly road games for the two soccer teams.
This upcoming week, the Jeff Price-coached MHS girls (1-2) are scheduled to host Cambridge at Don Drumm Stadium tonight at 7:45 p.m. and then play at Warren Thursday at 7 p.m.
Marietta is currently being paced offensively by Swedish foreign exchange student Molly Josefson, who scored all six goals in a 6-3 season opening triumph at Dover. Josefson also had Marietta's lone score in a 5-1 setback at Johnstown-Monroe on Saturday.
Other probable Lady Tiger starters may be Alyssa Hill, Anna Carpenter, Ashley Streski, Amelia Gulick, Katie Miller, Beka Haught, Gabi Latture, Mo Robinson, Lucinda Ryder, Sammy Koons, and keeper Nora Gulick or Robinson.
The undefeated Warren girls (3-0), who will be hosting MHS Thursday, are off to a great start, and are led by Melissa Dickerson, Mckenzie Ullman, and freshman sensation Raeli Barnes.
Warren is expected to start Lara Eksi, Halee McPherson, Emma Yabs, Janelle Barth or Kayla Maze (keeper), Raelyn Gardner, Natalie O'Dell, Addie Barnes, Jordanna Rauch, Raeli Barnes, Ullman, and Dickerson.
The Warren girls are slated to host Ripley at 6 p.m. tonight.
In the boys' match vs. Warren, also on Thursday, Todd Morris-led Marietta is expected to start keeper Eric Pierce, Andrew Roberts, Holden Weihl, Owen LaBarre, Tanner Rake, Colin Jordan, Grant Gandor, Jacob Holdren, Brent Huck, Skylar Miracle and Brennan Uhrig.
The Andrew Johnson-coached Warriors will probably counter with keeper Cody Stanley, Greyson Cantley, Sam Goodman, Ben Koch, Wyatt Lynch, Aaron Mazurkiewicz, Nathan Robinson, Nick Robinson, Nick Koch, Ty Kroner and Evan Yabs.
Before the Warren match, Marietta was scheduled to host Cambridge Tuesday but will now play the host Bobcats at 5 p.m. on the same day. The MHS boys got their first win of the season last Saturday at Athens, winning a 1-0 decision on a goal by Miracle.
