The Newtown Township Zoning Hearing Board met on Thursday, March 4, 2010 in the Newtown Township Building. In attendance and voting were: Chairman David Katz, Vice Chairman Karen Doorley, Secretary Mario Lionetti, William Wall and Brandon Wind. Also in attendance were: James J. Auchinleck, Jr., Esq., Solicitor, John Boyle, Code Enforcement Officer and Justine Gregor, Stenographer.
Call to Order
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM.
The Pledge of Allegiance
The Agenda was reviewed:
Approval of Minutes
Mr. Lionetti moved to accept the minutes of January 7, 2010. Mr. Wall seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
Application of Frank Mayo, 1 Crittenden Drive
Mr. Lionetti read into the record the application of Frank Mayo, owner, requesting a variance from section 803(H-8)(1)(b) to permit installation of a 30 feet by 15 feet in-ground pool with coping, decking and equipment pad in the front yard where no pools are permitted in the front yard. The property is located at 1 Crittenden Drive in the R-1 Medium Density Residential Zoning District, being further known as Tax Map Parcel #29-23-114.
Frank Mayo and Jacob Fahs were sworn in.
Mr. Katz asked if anyone present wished to be party to the application. There was no response.
Mr. Mayo explained that he would like to install a pool on his property at the rear of his house, but because his is a corner property he has three front yards. The back of his house backs to Eagle Road.
Mr. Wind asked if he has reviewed his plans with his homeowners association.
Mr. Mayo entered as Exhibit A-1 a letter of approval from the Cliveden Homeowners Association and as Exhibit A-2, a letter from his neighbor at 19 Crittenden Drive, supporting the plans.
Mrs. Doorley asked whether a variance would be required for impervious surface.
Mr. Fahs, contractor for the project, said that the property is currently 20.29% impervious surface; the pool would bring the total to 23% for the coping and decking around the pool. This development has a 35% impervious surface maximum total, and for this PRD, the pool surface is not considered for the purpose of calculating impervious surface.
Resident Judy Norkin was sworn in. Ms. Norkin said that she is a member of the Cliveden Homeowners Association. She asked about plans for fencing and landscaping, as this property is visible from the road.
Mr. Mayo said that he will have a four foot fence around the pool. The distance from the curb to the fence is 8 feet. He plans to use landscape screening around the pool to shield it from the road and to provide some privacy. He said that he did not want to install a taller stockade fence because it would require a variance and because he did not want to obstruct sight distances at the school bus stop on his corner.
Mr. Wind asked whether the setbacks for the pool comply.
Mr. Auchinleck confirmed that the plan complies with setback requirements.
Mr. Boyle said that the property was posted on February 24, 2010.Mr. Lionetti moved to grant a variance from section 803(H-8)(1)(b) to permit installation of a 30 feet by 15 feet in-ground pool with coping, decking and equipment pad in the front yard where no pools are permitted in the front yard. Mrs. Doorley seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
Application of Third Federal Bank, 66 Walker Lane
Mr. Lionetti read into the record the applicationof Third Federal Bank, owner, requesting a variance from section 803(D-1)(5) to permit occupancy of 5000 square feet of G-1 manufacturing space as an D-1 office use with 13 assigned parking spaces where 25 are required. The property is located at 66 Walker Lane in the L-I Light Industrial Zoning District, being further known as Tax Map Parcel #29-10-99-1-4.
Attorney Don Marshall represented the applicant.
Wayne Bishop, Vice President of Third Federal, was sworn in.
Mr. Katz asked if anyone present wished to be party to the application. There was no response.
Mr. Marshall explained that Third Federal is the equitable owner of a 5000 square foot condominium flex space at 66 Walker Lane, unit #4, which will be converted to office space. He entered as Exhibit A-1 a plan of 66 Walker Lane showing the numbered parking spaces, with 13 assigned to unit 4. He entered as Exhibit A-2 a plan for Third Federal Bank's 3 Penns Trail property, noting that the properties are contiguous and that a walking path runs between the two buildings' parking areas. The property at 3 Penns Trail is corporate office space with no bank branch and is use D-1, as will be the space at 66 Walker Lane. At that address the bank also owns unit #3.
Mr. Marshall said that the Ordinance requires 25 parking spaces for 5,000 square feet of D-1 office space. Third Federal has 14,752 square feet at 3 Penns Trail, requiring 74 parking spaces. There are 86 spaces at that location. Employees walk between the two buildings throughout the business day on a paved path. Third Federal proposes to assign 12 spaces at 3 Penns Trail to the 66 Walker Lane site.
Mr. Bishop agreed with Mr. Marshall's presentation. He stated that the 66 Walker Lane site will be offices for the retail services department; no retail customers will visit the site.
Mrs. Doorley asked Mr. Marshall to review the parking at 66 Walker Lane.
Mr. Marshall pointed out 13 spaces assigned to unit 4, including the area used as a loading dock, which would not be needed so would become a regular parking space. The condo building also has 16 additional parking spaces not specifically assigned to any unit, but for general use.
Mr. Marshall entered as Exhibit A-3 a letter from Township Solicitor Jeffrey Garton, written at the suggestion of the Board of Supervisors, requesting that "the parking arrangements be memorialized in the from of an easement or other similar document", as the Board had some concern that the proposed parking arrangement might not carry through should either property change owners.
Mr. Marshall said that the applicant would propose a deed restriction so that if the spaces at 3 Penns Trail were no longer available the office use at 66 Walker Lane would no longer be available. He explained that the condos were built as flex space, a combination of warehouse and office space.
Mr. Auchinleck asked about planned improvements for 66 Walker Lane.
Mr. Bishop said that three offices and an open desk area would be installed for 11 full time and two part time evening employees. The space is currently a bakery.
Mr. Lionetti asked about a deed restriction on the property.
Mr. Auchinleck explained that with a deed restriction, if either property were sold and off site parking were no longer available, the occupant of 66 Walker Lane would have to revert to flex space use or return to the Zoning Hearing Board. Any future tenant would need an occupancy permit, which would provide the Township with an opportunity to review the deed restriction.
Mr. Lionetti expressed some concern about future parking arrangements if both properties are not owned by the same entity.
Mr. Marshall said that he has spoken to Mr. Garton about possible deed restrictions rather than easements. He noted that the building at 66 Walker Lane was constructed before the zoning was changed to increase impervious surface and reduce parking stall size. The property could be altered to add more parking spaces.
Mr. Boyle noted that the property had been posted on February 24, 2010.
Mr. Wall moved to grant a variance from section 803(D-1)(5) to permit occupancy of 5000 square feet of G-1 manufacturing space as an D-1 office use with 13 assigned parking spaces where 25 are required, subject to the condition that the parking arrangements to provide 12 additional parking spaces at 3 Penns Trail be memorialized in the form of an easement or other similar document to the satisfaction of the Township solicitor. Mrs. Doorley seconded and the motion passed 3-2, with Messrs Wind and Lionetti voting nay.
Application of Burns Auto Repair, 19 North Sycamore Street
Mr. Lionetti read into the record the application of Burns Auto Repair Inc, owner, requesting a variance from sections 1106(F)(2)&(5)(a) to permit installation of an additional 14 square feet double sided identification sign for an E-10 service business where only one sign is permitted, such sign to be six feet high where five feet is the maximum permitted height, The property is located at 19 N. Sycamore Street in the TC Town Commercial Zoning District, being further known as Tax Map Parcel #29-12-6.
Attorney Don Marshall represented the applicant.
Dave Burns was sworn in.
Mr. Katz asked if anyone present wished to be party to the application. There was no response.
Mr. Marshall entered as Exhibit A-1, a depiction of the proposed sign. He noted that the design has been reduced so as not to require variances for height and size. The sign will be 60 inches high and 26"X48", a total of 12 square feet.
Mr. Burns said that his is a full service gas and auto repair business with six bays. He has the Shell insignia and price signs and the state required inspection sign. He wants to add the new sign to advertise the repair business. Many customers are unaware that in addition to gas sales and inspections, the business offers repairs. The words "Auto Repair" appear on the building. He had considered removing those words, but has concerns that removal of the letters could reveal damage or discoloration to the brick wall beneath the lettering. He understands that the sign will need HARB approval. This proposed sign is similar to other signs along Sycamore Street in the Historic District.
Mr. Marshall entered as Exhibit A-2 a plot plan showing the location of the new sign on the grass island between the sidewalk and the service station.
Mr. Marshall said that additional signage cannot be added to the Shell sign because it is owned by Shell. The application has been reviewed by the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors, with neither body having objections. The Board of Supervisors did not object to leaving the banner sign on the building.
Mrs. Doorley asked whether the installation would cause any sight distance difficulties for vehicles exiting the station.
Mr. Burns said that the sign is set back to allow clear sight distance to both sides of Sycamore Street.
Mr. Boyle noted that the property had been posted on February 24, 2010.
Resident Vincent Lombardi said that he was in attendance to support Mr. Burns' application.
Mrs. Doorley moved to grant a variance from sections 1106(F)(2) to permit installation of an additional 12 square feet double sided identification sign for an E-10 service business where only one sign is permitted. Mr. Wall seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
Mr. Lionetti moved to adjourn at 9:00 PM. Mr. Wind seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
Respectfully Submitted:
Mary Donaldson, Recording Secretary

The conservation of the "Rocket Thrower" sculpture and the energy retrofit at the Henry Street Settlement, both MAS partner projects, were awarded Partners in Preservation grants last week. The projects were two of the 40 finalists of American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Partners in Preservation in New York City initiative.
Partners in Preservation is a competition that solicits the input of the community, via social media, to provide preservation grants for local historic places. The program achieves its goal of increasing the public's awareness of the importance of historic preservation in the United States while simultaneously preserving America's historic and cultural places.
Henry Street placed fifth in the competition and was awarded $175,000, which will go towards phase two of the current energy retrofit at the Settlement's headquarters, a project that was launched by MAS last year. The "Rocket Thrower," in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park was awarded $10,000, which will go towards to the restoration of the Olympian-sized sculpture under the MAS Adopt-A-Monument program.
MAS thanks American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation for their support, as well as all those who voted for our Partners in Preservation projects.

It was a beautiful old building with a lovely well managed garden.
The staff were polite and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was very nice and plenty of it. The only negative thing for me was there was no evening meal available at the hotel. But apart from that I would highly recommend this hotel.

CHARLESTON - As paying debt off now saves Mississippi County taxpayers interest costs later, Mississippi County commissioners will use money available in the general revenue fund to pay down the principal of the courthouse construction debt, according to county officials.
Commissioners agreed during Thursday's county commission meeting to an extra payment of $200,000 which will reduce the courthouse debt to $173,000 plus interest, according to Junior DeLay, county clerk.
General revenue showed a balance of $861,000 before authorizing the payment. Payments on the courthouse construction debt were set up for annual installments of $110,000 for 12 years, according to DeLay.
DeLay also presented another jail construction bond refinancing update. He explained that under the terms of the bonds, the debt service reserve fund must be liquidated and reinvested if refinanced.
The $345,000 invested at 6 percent interest will be replaced with $283,000 at 4.5 percent.
In other Mississippi County news:
* Riley Fitzgerald of Fitzgerald Marine and Repair requested blacktop repairs on the road leading out to the Mississippi County Port.
"If we repair the port road now, it will stay good," Fitzgerald said. He also said that the area needs mowing as weeds are brushing the sides of vehicles.
"It would make it look better for everyone coming and going," said Fitzgerald, noting there are 100 employees that work there.
Jim Blumenberg, presiding commissioner, said blacktop repairs were already scheduled for next week. "I wasn't aware of the weeds," he said.
Fitzgerald also said a recently-replaced bridge on the port road needs a longer ramp to ease the three-inch offset.
Commissioners agreed it needs a smoother transition and estimated it would take about a four-foot long slope.
* Commissioners amended the contract under which the Susanna Wesley Family Learning Center administers the Welfare to Work program.
The Susanna Wesley Family Learning Center has administered the program for four or five years, according to DeLay. "This extends it another year."
The contract, funded through the Department of Social Services, totals $136,908. The contract period is for July 1, 2001, though May 31, 2002, to align with the state's payment system, DeLay said.
* A preselection process in which applications from prospective administrators are solicited must be completed for the county's rural water district Community Development Block Grant application.
The application for $500,000 will be filed through the county.
* Commissioners briefly reviewed the few remaining projects to complete for this year's road work. "The blacktopping is winding down," said Blumenberg.
Blumenberg reported that earth work to prepare a vacant lot in Charleston for a walking track was completed as promised.

Do We Create Our Own Reality In The Afterlife?
I have recently been watching a popular cable television show about people who had died and then came back to life. I love watching many of the paranormal shows, and this one is no exception! What I have found most interesting from watching this particular show is the difference between what people experience when they have near death experiences (NDE).
When I first began watching the show, I thought most of the people would only talk about seeing a bright light, or seeing a place they called 'heaven'. But the majority have experienced very different things from what I expected. For example, one person ended up in some sort of murky underworld, surrounded by dark energy and spirits. Another person found herself on an alien spaceship traveling across the Universe. Many people have met loved ones on the other side, or claim to have met Jesus.
There exists a mountain of circumstantial evidence that consciousness survives bodily death. This is the kind of evidence that would stand up in a court of law ~ Jean Ritchie
I suppose some skeptics would conclude from these differences that the people are just lying, or are merely imagining things that never happened. I may be able to accept this as a possible explanation in some cases, except that these people were in fact clinically dead. Some for just a few minutes, and some for a longer period of time.
What I've concluded from watching the TV show is that each of us create our own realty the minute we die, the same way we create our own reality in this physical life. Maybe we do so because we're in shock? Or perhaps because that is simply our belief system? Whatever the case, what happens to us when we die seems to be a matter of perception. Whether that particular perception is temporary, or not, I'm not sure. I suppose like all of us, I will find out for myself someday!

A. Kudryavtseva - June 26
Tuesday, 26 June, 2007
Alla Kudryavtseva was defeated by Venus Williams 2-6, 6-3, 7-5
Q. Do you live in
or train in
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: I was training in Florida I mean, my coach is from Florida, not exactly from Miami, from Bradenton. But yes, he's American and he's from Florida.
Q. Do you live in
or you have a place in
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: No.
Q. You're listed as
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: Yes, I know, but it was I just told them, I changed the coach a little bit ago, and my previous coach, he was living in Miami.
Q. Who was that?
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: Nick Rybakov. He was Russian. But he was living in Miami, and I was based in his house because he had a family and they had a huge house so I had my own how do you say that? Bedroom, bathroom, everything. So I was kind of based there, and I spent all my time between the tournaments there.
Q. How long were you there from?
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: Well, half a year. I mean, every time after the tournament I was coming back there, and with my new coach Bill Eastburn, he lives in Bradenton, and it's probably going to be the same. I'm going to be coming to his house because he has also a big house and courts right next to his place and a fitness center and everything, so probably going to be the same. I'm going to be coming back and forth. I would love to buy a flat apartment. That's how you say it, apartment (laughter). But I should make a couple of semifinals, Grand Slams, before that.
Q. At what age did you first go to
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: Oh, my God, actually my first tournament outside of Europe was Orange Bowl, and it was like six years ago. So my first experience in the States was in Florida.
Q. Sorry, I meant to live there.
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: For training, oh. December of last year. I'm very Russian. I was based in Russia and I had a Russian coach, and then I met Nick, and he offered me the conditions in the States are way better than Moscow. You have a lot of courts, you have way better, yeah. You have a lot of courts, you have great weather, you don't have to play indoors for six months of the year. Well, it's just easier.
Q. What courts did you train at? Where? Do you remember the name?
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: No.
Q. Do you remember the part of
where it is?
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: Coral Springs.
Q. Can you talk about the match? You looked really frustrated like you were getting angry with yourself.
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: Really? I was like, good girl, go ahead.
Q. Did you feel like you really had a chance to beat her, and what was going through your mind?
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: You don't think I had a chance to beat her?
Q. Yes, you did.
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: I think I had a better chance to beat her in the second set actually, even though I was 2 Love up, love 30, then 2-1, 40 15, a couple advantages on my serve later in the set, and I think if I would have used those chances I would have way better chances.
In the third set she played good. She played the way she should play. I played a little bit above my level probably, so that's how I could keep up stay the same leg with her.
Q. Did you notice her change something in her tactics later in the match?
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: Well, I mean, after 2 Love she just started making balls. She stopped going for bigger shots and just started making balls and trying to move her feet better, I guess.
To me, I don't see it from outside. I see it only from my vision. But to me the balls were getting lower and shorter, and probably that's her way to put the balls in when she's out of the rhythm or something. But yeah, I should have taken more chances.
Q. Were you are nervous when you saw Venus Williams for your first match, what did you think?
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: (Smiling) well, I've got to tell you, before coming here and before playing this, I did well at the French Open, and clay is the worst surface for me in my opinion, and I qualified. I made it to the second round.
And then coming to the grass courts, I love it, and I really think my game pretty much fits to it. If I would have had a bigger serve, which I will next year, it would be just the perfect surface for me because I'm short and the swings are short and I can stay low. I think it's a good surface for me.
And then I'm hitting and I'm beating the top 20 girls and I'm hitting with them, you know, shot to shot, and I feel really nice. And then I see the draw, and I was like, this is the worst draw that could happen because other than she is a great player and she is a legend, and I was watching her matches since a couple of years ago when she was so great, so powerful and everything, other than that, she's a champion of Wimbledon. That means she's playing really good on the grass courts.
And she has a huge serve. It doesn't matter how good she plays, if your opponent has the biggest serve in the world, it's very difficult.
So when I saw the draw, I was like, yeah, right. That's the best draw I could get. Anyone else well, not the seeded players. Even some of the seeded players. I really felt like I can beat almost anyone, not Henin and Sharapova and Mauresmo and Serena, those seeded players, the younger girls, or Jankovic, who is just on fire now, well, yeah, that's tough. But other than that, there are a lot of girls I think I would just kill here.
Q. Given that, what you were taught beforehand, was there a point maybe in the second set, you're up a break, you won the first set, then you were up a break in the second, where you thought I'm about to pull off the biggest upset?
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: Well, when I was 4-1 up against Sharapova at the French Open, then I thought, yes, I can go to the third set. This time I really felt confident and I really felt like I'm on my place, and it's not that Venus is missing everything. She's missing, but I'm playing some good tennis. I didn't think, oh, my God, now I can beat Venus. No, I didn't. I felt okay.
And after it was 2 All, 3-2 she went up, I thought, yeah, probably I just not lost it, but I just didn't make it. You know, I had a very good chance, and I thought that this might be my chance, could have been my chance, the only chance.
Then I saw some more chances, and I was like, oh, great, still here. Well, yeah, but I didn't feel like, oh, I can beat her now. I did feel, yeah, I'm here. I'm fighting with Venus Williams, nice.
Q. So you leave with good even though you lost, how would you say you leave
, up or down?
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: Wimbledon is not over for me. I'll see how I do in doubles. If I do good in doubles, certainly up. With singles, I did good, yeah. I did good. Venus is a tough draw, and Venus is great. I think she will do well. I hope she will do well. I wish her all the best. But just a little bit disappointed that I had chances and I didn't use them.
Q. There were some calls that you questioned, argued a little bit.
ALLA KUDRYAVTSEVA: Well, you know, at that point of the match, and she's playing so deep, it seems like everything is flying out. I mean, anyone would do that. Anyone would think that. You just really want it. You just really want her to miss. You just really want that ball to be five millimeters out.
I still think one ball was out, and it could have bring me 15 40 on her serve and maybe I could have been 5-3 up. But yeah, the referee is the referee and he knows better. What else can I say, right? I can't say. If I will say, they will find me (smiling). Shh.
Thank you very much.
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter....
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there
Enjoy This Moment!!
HEALTH and HAPPINESS to EVERYONE

Hi all,
Looking for examples of good ways to include ways to display different types of media. I'm thinking of a repository that shows podcasts, video, downloadable documents, and perhaps other media types.
Touch screen application interfaces have been following a common frame design for quite sometime now. When
i got an oppurtunity to work on couple of similar projects, 1st thing i
did was i started observing the way people interact with the devices. I
went through most of the similar applications.As i was going through, lot of questions came in my mind. Few were like.1. Technology has grown so much, isn't the practice of interaction with it also has grown?

By Andrea Sutherland (Fort Carson)April 12, 2012
FORT CARSON, Colo. -- Julie Moser is dedicated to her students. The elementary school counselor said she is constantly looking for ways to support her students, specifically the military children who come through her door.
"I want to figure out a way to best support the children," she said. "I think the hardest part for them is when their parent misses holidays and birthdays. I help get them through that and support them emotionally."
Moser said she and other counselors in Academy School District 20 have formed student groups for children of military Families.
But Moser wants to do more and Tuesday she joined more than 100 educators, counselors, administrators and military officials at the Elkhorn Conference Center for the annual Education Summit.
"I am so excited (event organizers) provided this for us," she said.
Moser said she was looking forward to hearing from local school employees as well as military personnel who shared their observations of struggles military children face and how community members can help.
Dr. Diana Sirko, deputy commissioner for the Colorado Department of Education, said teachers play a crucial part in a military child's support network.
"Teachers and schools are constants for children whose personal lives may be unpredictable," said Sirko, who served as the keynote speaker for the event.
She said effective teachers recognize issues military children face, including constant moves and parent deployments.
"Teaching is rocket science," she said. "It is so complex."
Maj. Gen. Joseph Anderson, commanding general, 4th Infantry Division and Fort Carson, provided the audience with statistics of military children in the United States.
"Over 2 million children have had a parent deployed over the past 10 years," he said during his opening remarks. "On average, a military Family moves nine times in a 20-year career.
They (children) may attend four to five schools before they graduate."
Throughout the daylong summit, educators participated in workshops addressing bullying, relationships between the military and local schools and resiliency.
"I am highly impressed that this event brought together leadership in the military and community as well as the people who experience this on a daily basis," said Mona Johnson, director, School Behavioral Health for the Office of Child, Adolescent and Family Behavioral Health for U.S. Army Medical Command. "I love it when two sides come together like this."
Col. Robert F. McLaughlin, garrison commander, said it was important to bring educators and military officials together to understand each other's challenges and to develop strategies to help minimize those issues in the future.
"We need to collectively understand how military children are affected," he said.
Educators shared their strategies in combatting challenges in group discussions. Some local teachers said they created peer-to-peer groups, pairing military children together.
"Military kids tend to be more empathetic to new students because they know next year that could be them," said Susie Weiss, art teacher and military child liaison for Colorado Springs District 11.
In her final remarks to the audience, Sirko encouraged educators to remain vigilant.
"I think we do a great job with most of our children," she said. "But I think we can do a great job with all of our children."

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Bethann Weick
root cellaring, food preservation, Bethann Weick, New Hampshire
Our cabin, as you might imagine, has neither cellar nor long-term food storage. During the warmer months we eat fresh from the garden and supplement with dry goods. Perishables are a treat, and eaten quickly. A cooler dug into the ground is our closest approximation of a refrigerator.
After a prolific season in the garden, storage became our major question. In prior years, when the harvest was small, produce could be stored in baskets and boxes in the yurt and eaten before the freezing cold or the decomposition of time could lead to the food's demise. This season we're lucky: With the arrival of my parents in Dorchester, we quite conveniently have access to a full cellar with space to fill. Potatoes, therefore, are laid out on and under cardboard, while root vegetables, such as turnips, carrots and beets, are buried in buckets of sand, and cabbage heads are stuffed into containers of compost.
At this point of the September harvest, however, even the cellar was a tad too warm. Cabbage leaves were losing their life too quickly, and turnips and carrots were trying to sprout.
This was worrisome, but not a problem for long. The direct exit from the cellar to the outside sits between an insulated door and the bulkhead hatch. Upon removing the stairs from this exit, we cleverly created a nook that was insulated from the house heat, and readily cooled by its thin exterior storm door and shaded location.
So, voilá! We have a grocery store under the stairs. What a pleasant adventure compared with the average shopping routine! Every day or two, with basket or bucket in hand, I trot down to the darkened cellar and enter this makeshift root cellar. Headlamp affixed to my head, I plunge my fingers through layers of damp sand and newspaper. I retrieve sweet Scarlet Nantes carrots, large Purple Top turnips, and Detroit Dark Red beets. Red and white skinned potatoes, green cabbage, and more than half a dozen winter squash varieties (stored upstairs as they prefer drier conditions) round out the options for each meal.
A good scrubbing is required, but then gleaming vegetables are piled high, their bright colors and sweet, earthy flavors satiating both our eyes and our palettes. No lines, no check-out counters, no price tag – just some dirt under our nails, very generous parents (they get vegetables, too!), and a little bit of planning. The thrill and satisfaction of a garden continues well after the cold season has arrived.

Leading veterinarians agree that our pets are simply not as healthy as they used to be. The prevalence of processed pet food with chemical additives, routine vaccinations with unknown side-effects and increasingly toxic air and water have combined to dramatically impact the health and well-being of our cats, dogs and horses. This has manifested itself in increased rates of pet cancer, other auto-immune disorders and an epidemic of lethargic, undernourished animals.
We pet owners have experienced similar issues in our own health as a result of changes in our diets and environment. In response, many of us have turned to organic foods and healthy herbal formulas to supplement our diets and support our health. Natural herbal remedies from places such as China, India and North America are now being used to address a wide variety of health conditions. However, while sales of herbal supplements for humans have increased more than ten-fold over the past few years, the awareness of natural herbs for our pets is only beginning.
Pet Herbs Direct is brought to you by the same company behind Chinese Herbs Direct and Ayurvedic Herbs Direct, the leading destinations for Chinese herbs and Ayurvedic herbs on the Internet. Though our previous herb stores market herbal formulas primarily for humans, we noticed that a significant number of our customers were seeking to use these same formulas to support the health of their pets. While the successful use of herbs for pets has been well established for thousands of years, we couldn't advocate the use of our human herbal formulas for pets due to concerns over appropriate ingredients and dosages for pets. Simply put, some herbal ingredients and dosages may be beneficial for humans, but toxic for a pet.
In response to growing demand for established herbal formulas specifically created for pets, we established Pet Herbs Direct in 2006. Pet Herbs Direct now sells several lines of safe and effective herbal formulas for dogs, cats and other domestic animals - and we're adding new products every week. Our mission at Pet Herbs Direct is to promote the use of natural pet herbs to support the health and enhance the well being of your trusted pet. We welcome your comments or suggestions by contacting us.

Nantucket is really a great place to bring kids/ a family vacation. It is very quiet & relaxing. The beaches are some of my favorite I have ever been. I took Maggie for a walk on the beach one afternoon & we were the only ones in sight at one point. The center of town has such fun kids stores, book stores & bakeries! Also, there are lots of families around so there are a number of options for family friendly dinning. We also lucked out & happened to be there while a carnival was visiting the island.
A fun travel accessory for the trip: These adorable luggage tags from Preppy Chick!
Maggie is just starting to recognize her name spelled out so she was very excited to put this on her bag. Be sure to check out Preppy Chick's shop. She has adorable luggage tags and SO much more.
Some highlights of the trip:
Maggie LOVES airplanes. She was thrilled that we were getting to fly somewhere. To her surprise, we got to walk off the plane on the jetway at the airport. Also, it is a very small airport with a lot of tiny planes that were all parked where we were walking in. Maggie was in heaven.
Be sure to check out all 3 giveaways we have going on right now AND check back tomorrow for a very exciting guest post!

I did not have the courage to go out there and announce to the 'cool confident' people, that this is me.. I also want to play with you.
I was too reserved and gawky to do that.
Each day, I would think I'll join my neighbours the next day and each day would pass.
Looking outside the window every night, a jambul tree swayed and the air made shrill noises.
I looked outside each night and prayed for a day when I play the game that I loved the most, with 'them'.
But it just did not seem to happen.

The former Mr. G's Fabulous Wings restaurant will be auctioned Tuesday afternoon.
Ed Fernandez Auctions will offer the building, at 1836 Tuscarawas St. E., and its contents, at an auction at 4 p.m. The sale is to help settle the estate of owner George Smith, who died three years ago at the age of 53.
Smith had operated the carryout wings and ribs eatery in a 620-square-foot building for 23 years. Besides serving food, the place was a local hangout where men often gathered at outdoor picnic tables to play chess.
A U.S. Marines veteran, Smith also chaired the deacon board for nearly 30 years at All Saints Temple Church of God In Christ.

Karnataka Govt to build Dr Vishnuvardhan film city
With this attempt, all the works of Kannada films will be done under one roof. Talking to media about the plan, Tourism Minister G Janardhan Reddy said, "I will talk to CM BS Yediyurappa about the plan of building Dr. Raj and Dr. Vishnuvardhan film city and start the construction works immediately. This film city will be a peculiar and only one of its kind in the country and It will stand as the symbol of pride of the state."
He added, "Dr. Raj and Dr. Vishnuvardhan film city will be very useful for Kannada film industry. Karnataka Govt. will build this film city in collaboration with private company and blue print of the same will be prepared soon. Vishnu"s sudden death is irreplaceable loss to Kannada film industry. And this will be the right time to build a film city in his memory.

U.S. Attorney to KPMG Judge: Tone it Down
The U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan has asked the federal judge overseeing the KPMG tax-fraud case to withdraw statements from his recent decision that criticized his prosecutors. Here's the eight-page letter to Judge Lewis Kaplan from U.S. Attorney Michael Garcia and Laurie Cohen's story in the WSJ.
In a blistering opinion handed down last month, Judge Kaplan ruled that the portion of the DOJ's Thompson memorandum that discourages companies from advancing legal fees to its employees is unconstitutional. The decision took direct aim at prosecutors' conduct in the KPMG case, concluding that the feds violated the due process rights of the defendants by pressuring the company to refuse to pay their legal bills.
In his letter, Garcia requested that the court "withdraw from its opinion the statements regarding" his office and the court's "references by name throughout the opinion to the prosecutors involved." Among other barbs, Judge Kaplan accused the U.S. Attorney's office of being "economical with the truth." The three prosecutors involved in the case are Shirah Neiman, chief counsel to Garcia, and Stanley Okula and Justin Weddle, assistant U.S. attorneys.
Garcia isn't challenging the substance of Judge Kaplan's opinion, but objecting to the judge's criticism of the prosecutors' conduct. Said former prosecutor and Kaye Scholer partner Daniel Alonso: "It's not at all unusual for a chief prosecutor to stand up for his assistants when he feels they've been unfairly tarnished by a judge in a written opinion."
Garcia says his office never tried to pressure KMPG to withhold the fees. Instead, KPMG, seeking to "curry favor with the government, made the decision itself."

The museum was opened in 1993 by Neil Wilson, a lifelong radio enthusiast and engineer, and aims to describe the building's history as well as offer an insight into radio broadcasting in Britain from the 1920s onwards.
Opened in 1933, the BBC West Regional Transmitting Station at Washford Cross was the first high-power broadcasting station in the south west and the museum contains photographs and information about the station from the 1930s through to its present use by Arqiva to broadcast BBC Radio Wales, Absolute Radio and TalkSport.
email Neil Wilson
In the photos on this page can be seen a selection of the items held by the Museum.
An 'A' unit from one of the Moorside Edge Regional (Marconi PB2) transmitters which were dismantled in 1984. This is identical to the original 1933 transmitters at Washford, one of which survived until 1979 when all the old equipment was scrapped. This unit was rescued by Bill Pozniak, a vintage radio enthusiast who kept it for about 10 years in a cellar, excavated for the purpose, beneath his house in Oldham before loaning it to the Museum. The picture on the right shows part of the interior of the unit.
Two display boards made by Jim Butterworth when the original Washford transmitting equipment was re-engineered c.1979. Items from the Machine Room and Transmitter Hall on the left and from the Engine Room on the right.
The Transmitting Valve display. Most of the larger examples are from BBC transmitters from the 1920s to the present.
(above) One of two cases with BBC equipment, including an OBA/8, and disks. The other is larger and is mainly concerned with recording, including the Type C disc recorder and EMI 'midget', Ficord, Uher and Nagra tape recorders as well as a spool of Philips-Miller film.
(right) An AC/48 Test Bay dating from 1948 and once used at Washford.

Some disk labels. The first two are sound effects disks. The first one dates from late 1933 or 1934. The Gramophone Co trademark on the second disk reminds us that the BBC had no means of mastering disks until they acquired their first MSS machine in April 1934.
The third example is 60 rpm disk from BBC Recorded Programmes Library, Bristol. This is part 1 of a programme by George Bernard Shaw broadcast on the National Programme, 6th February 1934.
(left, top) King Edward VIII's Abdication Speech, part 1, 11th December 1936. Note the instruction to "play from centre" round the perimeter of the label. By recording alternate disks from the centre the change of quality when going from one disk to the next was eliminated.
Finally one of several test disks, this one being three minutes of 1kHz tone.

Some of the microphones in the museum collection. The one in the bottom left corner is a carbon granule type constructed by Neil Wilson from bits to resemble those used in the very early BBC studios.
The museum has a large collection of books, magazines, BBC publications and other literature relating to radio, television and broadcasting (both technical and cultural). Access is by prior appointment and a small donation to museum funds is appreciated.
These papers and diaries once belonged to Stuart Hibberd, the BBC's Chief Announcer from 1925 to 1951, and were acquired by the late Len Kelly of Kelly Books who generously donated them to the museum.
The diaries run from 1944 and the papers consist of many original scripts and memos, some dating from the 1930s, with Hibberd's own annotations. Included (above) is part of the script of "Men of Goodwill", the Christmas broadcast of 1947; the final closing announcement on the Forces Programme, 26th February 1944; the continuity announcement for the broadcast of the opening of the 1948 Olympic Games, 29th July; a 1942 letter from Hibberd to an appreciative listener; a script for "2LO Calling", also from 1942 and looking back at the early days of radio; an invitation to a concert marking the 80th Birthday of H.M. Queen Mary and a newspaper clipping recording a rare on-air slip-up by Hibberd.
Above, right is the invitation from the Director General, Sir William Haley, to a farewell luncheon when Hibberd retired as chief announcer in 1951.
A collection of documents relating to the broadcast of the Coronation in 1953, including a chart of line allocations, the opening announcement, operational procedure instructions and a timetable of overseas broadcasts.
The collection also includes domestic receivers from 1922 onwards, some of which are seen above left, with a display of valve and transistor portables below. There are also large quantities of service data for radio and television receivers (1920s to 1990s) as well as advertising literature. Some of the TV receivers in the collection are shown above; there are also a few console models and many others in store.
Finally, a couple of novelties - a BBC flag, possibly from Droitwich, and a jig-saw puzzle of Broadcasting House.
Tropiquaria is on the A39 between Williton and Minehead. Look out for the tall radio masts. Buses 28, X28 and 12 stop outside the gate. The postal address for the museum is: Washford Radio Museum, Tropiquaria, Washford Cross, TA23 0QB.
2014 Opening times:
February 15th to November 17th, 10.30am - 5.00pm. (July 23rd -August 31st, 10.00am - 6.00pm).
Winter: Weekends and Mondays, 11.00am - 4.00pm.
email Neil Wilson
Admission to the whole of Tropiquaria (including the Museum):
Adults: £9.00 Children, OAPs, students: £7.50
BUT if you let the staff on the gate know you are interested in just the museum they will let you in for £2.50 each.

Issue No.12 - December (1978 vol.27)
pp: 1126-1136

A stochastic model of closed-loop priority I/O systems is developed in which request generation is assumed to be exponential but service time distributions are arbitrary. This model reflects the code granularity caused by the implementation. Using this model, an interrupt-driven system is compared to a similar system with polled I/O on the basis of latency times and CPU utilization.

Definition of muon in English:
An unstable subatomic particle of the same class as an electron (a lepton), but with a mass around 200 times greater. Muons make up much of the cosmic radiation reaching the earth's surface.
Example sentences
- The proton and the neutron are baryons; the electron, the muon, and the neutrino are leptons; whilst the pions are mesons.
- These objects also produce high-energy massive particles such as electrons, muons, protons and anti-protons.
- Comsic rays are very high energy particles which strike the Earth's atmosphere and produce spectacular showers of billions of electrons, muons, and other particles.
muonic adjective
- Example sentences
- For muonic atoms, the Bohr-Weisskopf effect can account for half of the hyperfine structure interaction.
- The nuclear interaction in muonic molecules can be treated as a perturbation using the smallness of the nuclear scattering amplitude in comparison with the molecular scale.
- Understanding muonic atom formation and the cascade process to the ground state is important, since they affect muon transfer from excited states, as well as the creation of hot atoms via acceleration.
1950s: contraction of mu-meson; the particle, however, is no longer regarded as a meson.

No Soup for You in the Citi
"Please, sir, I want some more." No one is going to confuse a Wall Street analyst with orphan Oliver Twist. But companies often force them to beg when handing out the financial gruel.
Citigroup, for example, has balked at disclosing its compensation ratio – a measure of pay to revenue – for its investment-banking unit. Meantime, rivals like Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan Chase do to some degree. So it was a breakthrough when Citi finance chief John Gerspach answered a question Thursday on the bank's earnings call from ISI Group analyst Glenn Schorr by disclosing the ratio in 2013 was 29%.
Mr. Schorr then asked for the comparable 2012 figure. To which Mr. Gerspach replied, "It's down from last year. Again this is the first time we've disclosed it, so let's just establish the fact that it's 29%."
No seconds for you!

One of the more perplexing issues involved with the recent the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate is the mining of Australian uranium.
Fairfax writer Jamie Freed writing in The Age has noticed that the ALP has effectively banned the mining of uranium for purely political purposes. However as ALP Left-wing power broker Martin Ferguson wrote in yesterdays The Australian: It's time to abandon the political correctness espoused by the green movement. Let's be real: without getting business on board we cannot achieve anything. The environmentalists are simply attacking the coal industry for the sake of it. Labor supports our aluminium and coal industries in their endeavours to develop lower emissions technologies. They are our big export earners, creating jobs and wealth for this country, and without economic prosperity no government can pay for the social and environmental welfare measures so vigorously demanded by the Greens. Though reading some of the letters published on the internet one can but smile wryly at the reactions to his comments.
Western Australia is an interesting case this state has some large, easily mined, uranium deposits but these are under no circumstances allowed to be mined, well at least up to 2009 when Premier Gallop has to return to the electors for re-election.
Yet there is a world-wide boom in uranium and Australia with some of the largest uranium reserves is going to miss out simply because the ALP has a set-in-concrete policy of no more uranium mining. I suspect Martin Ferguson has flagged the start of a serious policy shift for the ALP though just how much power he is effectively able to wield on this issue has yet to be seen. There is little rationality to the banning of uranium mining, especially when that most social democratic of all countries, France, supplied 85% of her energy needs with nuclear power. Hence ALP opposition to uranium cannot be based on the usual green and environmental reasons.
The ALP will have to make up their minds very smartly if they are serious about Greenhouse Gas emissions because banning uranium mining means that they are not serious about the issue. As Ferguson has noted, apart from the US the next two largest greenhouse gas emitters are China and India and they are exempt from the Kyoto Protocol, so in reality curbing CO2 emissions in the developed world will do nothing to reduce global warming (if global warming is a real physical phenomenon, which now appears not to be the case - from a comment posted by Douglous Hoyt on the Warwick Hughes Blog.)
In fact CO2 emissions have been increasing and even Europe is now finding it cannot meet its targets.
The other interesting interpretation one could make of current State ALP opposition to uranium mining (apart from South Australia) as a solution to cutting down Greenhouse gases is the distinct possibility that maybe greenhouse gases are not the evility they are made out to be by the Greens, and the ALP. If converting to uranium power plants to reduce Greenhouse emissions is a sensible move to reduce greenhouse emissions, then why not do so unless another game is in play.
In any case this has meant that Australian mining companies are looking overseas for new uranium projects, with the expected drain on exploration and mining skills. To make matters worse we also have a serious shortage of geologists in Australia especially ones willing to sit on drilling rigs week in week out. Scanning the jobs advertised pages of the newspapers does not support this view but then advertising has moved to the internet, and there one finds an enormous amount of job vacancies such as those at Seek.com.
Many of our readers may not realise this but Australia is facing a long term economic downturn in mining. The reasons for this are varied and complex. Essentially large mining companies are run by accountants who cannot see the need to maintain viable exploration expertise. The mega miners such as BHP-Billiton now admit they no longer have the technical expertise to do mineral exploration, relying instead on the juniors. Yet even this approach has its problems because the smaller companies or hopefuls have no chance of attracting investment unless they have a cash-flow operation ready to start. In other words they have found a new mine and need cash to get it going. No immediate cashflow project? Too bad no investment. This effectively means that greenfields exploration has ground to a halt.
This has caused the problem that for the last 10 years world-wide, no one has found either a large gold or diamond mine. We already know that diamond reserves (gem and more importantly industrials) are being rapidly depleted new discoveries are not replacing mined deposits. The same applies to gold. The problem is that we seem no longer to have the skilled people to do the exploration. Young geologists (and we must include mining engineers and metallurgists) are just not interested in doing field work. Lifestyle for them is more important than finding new mines.
Most impediments to greenfields exploration can be traced to regulatory regimes setup as a reaction to Green demands, be it draconian EPA regulations, Native Title impediments or locking vast areas as State Parks etc. Fortunately some in the WA DOIR are starting to wake to this looming economic disaster but one suspects unless there is a drastic policy change in the ALP, whether on uranium mining, native title or EPA regulations, life is simply going to pass us by, leaving Australia as an industrialised backwater.
It is time we started rejecting the medieval mindset that pervades the Green Movement and throw their ludditic ideas onto the trashcan of history.

WhyReef - Threats
Many people think the tiger cowrie's shell is very beautiful, and they like to use it as jewelry. But people must be careful not to take too many of them out of the reef!
Reefs are in danger, and that means so is the home of the tiger cowrie!
Cypraea tigris
Cypraea tigris, commonly known as the tiger cowrie, is a species of cowry, a large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cypraeidae, the cowries.
The tiger cowry was one of the many species originally described by Linnaeus in his 18th century work, Systema Naturae, and the species still bears its original name of Cypraea tigris.[1] Its specific epithet tigris relates to its common name "tiger" (the shell however is spotted, not striped). This species is the type species of the genus Cypraea.
Subspecies and forms[edit]
- Cypraea tigris form incana Sulliotti, G.R., 1924 [3]
- Cypraea tigris form lyncicrosa Steadman, W.R. & B.C. Cotton, 1943 [4]
- Cypraea tigris form pardalis Shaw, 1795 [5]
- Cypraea tigris var. schilderiana Cate, C.N., 1961 [6] The variety Cypraea tigris var. schilderiana was recognized by Cate in 1961. It differs from Cypraea tigris in its large size (10–13 cm) and the lack of a thick marginal callus. This variety is found in the Hawaiian Islands, Johnston Island, and Vietnam.[7][8]
- Cypraea tigris form tuberculifera Sulliotti, G.R., 1924 [9]
Roughly egg-shaped and dextral, the glossy shell is large and heavy for a cowry. It measures up to 15 cm (6 in) in length, and the upper or dorsal side is white, pale bluish-white, or buff, densely covered with dark brown or blackish barely circular spots. Akin to many other Cypraea snails, the shells surface is notably effulgent, as if it were deliberately polished. There is sometimes a blurred red line along the length of the shell at the midline on the dorsal surface. The lower margins are rounded (that is, there is no sharp margin between the upper and lower surfaces of the shell as is found in some other cowries). The ventral side is white or whitish, and the shell opening is lined with tooth-like serrations.[10]
As is the case in almost all cypraeids, two lateral extensions of the mantle are able to extend so as to cover the shell completely, meeting at the midline of the dorsal surface. The mantle can also withdraw into the shell opening when threatened. In this species, the exterior surface of the mantle has numerous pin-like projections that are white-tipped.
Distribution and habitat[edit]
The tiger cowrie is found on the ocean floor in the Indo-Pacific region, from the eastern coast of Africa to the waters of Micronesia and Polynesia, the Coral Sea and around the Philippines. Along the Australian Coast it is found from Northern New South Wales to northern Western Australia, as well as Lord Howe Island, and along the east coast of Africa including Madagascar.[10] Found between depths of 10 and 40 metres (35–130 ft), it is often associated with live coral colonies, such as the table-forming Acropora,[11] either found on the reefs themselves or the sandy sea bottom nearby.[10] Once common, it is now much less abundant due to shell collecting and the destruction of its habitat by such processes as dynamite fishing, especially in shallower areas.[10] Carnivorous, the adult tiger cowrie eats coral and various invertebrates, while juveniles eat algae.
This species is endangered in Singapore.[11]
Human use[edit]
Despite the fact that this species does not occur in the Mediterranean Sea, shells of the tiger cowrie and the related panther cowrie, Cypraea pantherina, have been unearthed at Pompeii, the ancient Roman city near Naples, Italy, where these shells may have been used as some form of ornament.[12] It is also conceivable that the shells were part of a natural history collection. There was an interest in natural history at the time, as exemplified by Pliny the Elder who wrote extensively about seashells in his book Natural History and who died investigating the eruption of Vesuvius.
The shells of this species of cowry are still popular among shell collectors, and are also used as a decorative object, even in modern times.
The shell of Cypraea tigris is believed to help to facilitate childbirth: some women in Japan hold a shell of this species during childbirth.
Large cowry shells such as that of this species were used in Europe in the recent past as a frame over which sock heels were stretched for darning, i.e. instead of using a darning egg. The cowry's smooth surface allows the darning needle to be positioned under the cloth more easily than when using a darning mushroom made of wood.

text: We rented the one bedroom apartment and it was extremely clean and spacious. The lobby was also clean and the front desk clerk helpful and friendly. Though we rented one of the apartments, I checked out a couple of the hotel rooms while I was there and they too looked clean and, to me, seemed larger than many hotel rooms, espcially in this price range. The apartment had sufficent kitchenware (dishes, cooking supplies, coffeemaker, toaster, microwave, full size fridge, etc.). The bathroom was very spacious and clean. We recommend this hotel.
