The 1965 Mustang sat in Matthew Haynes' garage for 22 years. "I was in Jersey, I was going to sell it," he said. "My wife said, 'Why sell it?' I decided to fix it up."
Haynes, who now lives in Summerville, seems glad he did. He had acquired the classic Ford sports car in 1984, but "other priorities" took over and the car languished. In 2006, he pulled it out of storage for restorations.
"I think I paid $1,200 for it. I decided it was time to update (the Mustang)," said Haynes, who displayed the spiffed up model complete with black exterior and "pony edition" insides, at the 19th annual "Mustang and All Ford" car show Nov. 9 at Carolina Ice Palace in North Charleston.
"We have right at about 85 cars," said Duane Helser, who helps organize the show for the Low Country Mustang Club. "We had a real good turnout of (non-Mustang) Fords," which boosts the total. He said charitable contributions were expected to be "in the $2,500 to $3,000 range." Show proceeds support "Camp Breathe Easy" — children learning about their asthma and their medication in a fun-filled environment.
Dozens of Mustangs from mid-'60s to 2014 designs; Ford Model A, Thunderbird and F series trucks; and Ford-built editions such as a Mercury Cougar and a rare Mercury Caliente parked alongside the ice palace off Northwoods Boulevard on Saturday.
At least one local dealership took part. North Charleston-based Jones Ford showcased two new models including a 2014 Ford Focus.
The "Salute to our Veterans" car fest enlisted a category for military vehicles, namely Ford Jeeps and like models. In 1941, the government contracted for manufacturers to build 15,000 Jeeps, too many for Willys Overland alone to supply their iconic vehicle. Ford won the contract to manufacture Jeeps in a second wave during World War II. The Willys and Ford editions employed interchangeable parts so soldiers weren't stuck without parts on the battlefield, said Gene Lundgrin, who brought a 1943 Ford Jeep to the show.
Jay Carter drove from Florence in his red 2013 Mustang California Special edition Nov. 9 to attend the North Charleston show. "I bought this one out of fear," he quipped, worried about buzz that Mustang plans to redo its '15 model.
Jose Gonzalez of Summerville displayed his finely polished 1966 Caliente. He credited local restoration expert Al Bailey. "He totally restored this car." Gonzalez enjoys a few of the car's upgrades, including a big block V90 engine boasting 550 hp. "It'll scoot," he says.
Another "Ford" at the show was Patrick Quigley's yellow 1969 Mercury Cougar XR-7.
The roomy model displayed uncommon features such as sculpted side looks, sequential taillights and open-and-close headlamps – not to mention factory air conditioning and a 351 cubic inch engine.
"The neat thing about this car, the 1969 Cougar was built on a Mustang platform. It never got its just due," Quigley said.

Imagine driving your vehicle through an
intersection as the light turns green, and having your car tell you to hit the
brakes immediately. Just as you comply, a car speeds by coming from your left.
That car would be in your driver's side door right now had you not listened to
your vehicle's request. Now stop imagining, because the U.S. Department of
Transportation's Research and
Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) announced
the Connected
Vehicle Technology Challenge today, which will bring
Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) technology to
RITA is a
unit of the U.S. Department of Transportation that
was created in 2005. It provides transportation statistics and analysis,
coordinates research and education programs, and integrates advanced
technologies into the transportation system. At the head of the unit's helm is
Administrator Peter Appel.
Connected Vehicle Technology Challenge is a national competition that is
looking for new ideas on how to apply wireless connectivity between vehicles.
It is open to all idea innovators whether they work in the transportation
industry or not.
challenge is specifically looking for applications or product-related ideas
that utilize Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), which is a wireless
technology that is a faster and more secure version Wi-Fi. DSRC is capable of
exchanging messages between vehicles in a fraction of a second without needing
any control from the driver. It is also able to do this with a minimal amount
of interference.
DSRC-based systems, vehicles would not only communicate
with each other, but also with the surrounding infrastructure such as
traffic signals and work zones. This will allow the vehicle to alert the driver
when approaching construction and other driving-related variables.
technology is an opportunity to help create a future where millions of vehicles
communicate with each other by sharing anonymous real-time information about
traffic speeds and conditions," said Appel. "This new world of
wireless communication will make transportation safer, provide better and
faster exchange of information for vastly improved daily and long-distance
travel, and even reduce environmental pollution."
companies have already started creating technology similar to what RITA is
looking for. For instance, CNBC Correspondent
Phil LeBeau recently tested a crash avoidance system in Detroit called
Intellidrive. The system was created by a dozen major automakers along with the
federal government, and utilizes technology that took nine years to develop.
Vehicles strictly communicate amongst each other through GPS receivers and
Wi-Fi signals, exchanging data about each cars location and speed. With this
information, a vehicle can warn the driver of a potential crash before it
happens. LeBeau noted that this technology could be available in six to seven
addition, back in 2006, GM announced that it was looking to create a
similar vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) system. The system utilized GPS, Wi-Fi technology,
and computer-controlled active safety systems. At that time, it was already
being tested on Chevrolet, Cadillac, Saab and Opel models in Germany.
to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, technology that
allows vehicles to communicate with each other as well as the surrounding
infrastructure wirelessly could address 81 percent of all vehicle crashes that
are unrelated to impaired driving.
Connected Vehicle Technology Challenge will run from January 24 through May 1
of this year, and the winners will receive "funded opportunities" to
present their innovative ideas and produce some of the most advanced wireless
technology for new vehicles.

On the lockout�s 54th day, the two sides meet again
NEW YORK � After more than five hours together on the third consecutive day of negotiating, the NHL and players� association agreed to meet again today to try to reach a deal on a new collective bargaining agreement.
Neither side revealed much of what was discussed Thursday at a Manhattan law firm. Both NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and union executive director Donald Fehr held short media scrums on the wind-blown street in front of the once-secret location of the talks.
The work stoppage reached its 54th day, and this week is considered critical for the hockey season to be saved. The lockout is threatening to force the second cancellation of an NHL season in seven years.
Even if an agreement is reached soon, it isn�t clear if any of this season�s games that have been called off through Nov. 30 can be rescheduled. The NHL already has said a full 82-game season won�t be played.
Thursday�s discussions marked the fourth time in six days that face-to-face negotiations have taken place after both sides rejected proposals Oct. 18. The lockout, which began Sept. 16 after the collective bargaining agreement expired, forced the cancellation of 327 regular-season games, including the New Year�s Day Winter Classic in Michigan.
Miami Heat honoring the ice with their �hockey assists�
MIAMI � There�s nary a pair of skates visible in the Miami Heat locker room, no bucket of pucks in the practice facility and no Zamboni following the team around, either.
Still, there�s at least one hockey principle that�s in the mind of the reigning NBA champions so far this season: With emphasis on ball movement, the Heat currently are into what�s known as �hockey assists� � essentially, the pass that sets up the pass that sets up the score.
In hockey, it�s typical for two players to be credited with having passes to set up a goal, and while it�s hardly an NBA statistic, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra is working it into his team�s repertoire as well.
�If anything, it�s a compliment to the game of hockey,� Heat center Joel Anthony said. �We�re recognizing the different types of ways they reward players for making the extra pass. Hockey acknowledges it a lot more. There�s no stat for it in basketball, but we still acknowledge that. Spo� recognizes that and wants to make sure we know it�s extremely important.�
Anthony would seem to be the resident Miami expert in this field. After all, he�s the Heat player who hails from Canada � hockey�s epicenter.
Sky is falling on Team Sky: Two hospitalized this week
CHORLEY, England � Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins was released from the hospital Thursday after a collision with a car, a few hours after a separate crash left his British cycling coach with a head injury.
Wiggins, who also is the Olympic time trial champion, suffered bruises to his ribs and hands when he was hit by a car while out training on his bike.
After suffering minor injuries, Wiggins �is expected to make a full and speedy recovery,� Team Sky�s Dr. Richard Freeman said.
Wiggins returned home just as Britain coach Shane Sutton was hospitalized after bruising and bleeding on the brain.
Ski Racing
Without the men�s downhill, Vonn will focus on Aspen
STOCKHOLM � Lindsey Vonn will skip the first World Cup slalom of the season in Finland this weekend, choosing instead to prepare for home races in Colorado.
U.S. Ski Team spokesman Doug Haney said Vonn �has had an incredible preparation period� so far, but she will focus on the only U.S. stop on the women�s circuit Nov. 24-25 in Aspen.
Vonn�s request to compete in a men�s World Cup downhill race was rejected Saturday by the International Ski Federation. A four-time overall World Cup champion, Vonn would�ve skipped Aspen if she were allowed to race against the men.

Weary barns. Some still standing straight and strong with weathered sides. Others are decrepit and starting to fall down or are nearly down. Yes, these old barns dot our county and were once busy, active structures. But today they do look weary and tired.
As we look at the old barns around the county, we see some that have stood the rigors of time fairly well. They have had a good roof that has kept the years of rainfall from dripping down into the building and causing timbers to rot and weaken. While their sides are dark and weathered, they still stand and can be safe structures.
Other old barns have not fared so well. Maybe it was a poor roof or foundation or other cause, but they are on the way down. They may be leaning one way or another with doors and windows off, and they do look sad. They say, "we have had our day."
Each one of these old barns, regardless of condition, has a story to tell. Back in a day of many small farms, each one had a barn. Most of them were small, while others larger and, for their time, quite impressive. At some time in their life, they were a busy, active place. Livestock of various kinds were housed, fed and cared for in them.
Our county was dotted with many small dairy farms in the 1930s, '40s and '50s and even before that time. Their barns would house the dairy cows and young stock. Before dairy farm inspection became more strict, these barns might also include the draft horses, maybe a couple of pigs or two or three beef cattle. That is not possible today.
Cows were kept in stanchions that didn't allow the freedom of movement in today's free-stall or tie-stall barns. They were watered with drinking cups in front of every two cows, so they had access to water all the time. Feed was put in the manger in front of them.
Often these old barns were a place for a family gathering. Children would enjoy playing in front of the cows where their Mom or Dad could watch them. Hay was stored in the haymow above the cows, and which was often a great place to play in the soft hay that was stored loose and made a good place to jump.
Each cow in these small herds had a name. These could be family names or maybe a neighbor's name or some other reason was found to give that particular cow a certain name. Families would often get attached to certain cows that had good dispositions and were friendly and easy to handle.
So if these weary, old barns could talk, they would have an interesting history to tell us. Part of that history would be to say, "we have done our job and have had our day."
One would ask why aren't more of these old barns kept up and maintained? Some, because of the type of structure, have historical value. Many of them are fairly large buildings and expensive to maintain. To put a new roof on one would cost quite a bit of money. Paint or new siding is expensive.
So unless there is some use for these barns that has economic value, they are left to shift for themselves. Since they are still standing on a property, they might add to the taxes for that property. Just how much these taxes would be is a question for the county auditor.
Next time you wander around our county, take note of the old barns that you will see. Notice the different types of structures and the way they are built. Think about the interesting history that each one of those barns could tell if it could talk.
Then, if you have a lot of money, buy a farm with one of those barns and restore it. You might enjoy it.

Loop looked massively underrotated... Other than that, she's a nice performer!!
57.54 for Akiko....
Ashley up next...
57.54... 3L was probably underrotated.
Suzuki (tuned in in the middle)
Looks like she's dressed for a tango but the music
has a Celtic sound. Black (silver scrolling) with red net slip
Red 'roses' at side of the waist and in hair.
didn't see the combo
3F out of f/w good
spin with 3 different camel positions into
Nice speed into and out of the 2A
Crowd gives her a standing ovation
score 57.54
Probably underrotted on 3L
Clean for Ashley...
Flip looked like it might have been 2 footed. Maybe the Lutz too??
Her centering on her spins have improved...esp on the Beillman
Asheley's performance was just so beautiful. Those spiral and spins! I hope she and Mirai will make the Olympic teacm.
Replay shows definite 2foot on the Lutz, maybe 2axel UR? hard to tell.
Ashley Wagner
leaning over & back pumping-
3f a bit 2footed from f/w
f/w a bit slow, but quite clever with lots of 360 turns
into really nice layback into side into biellmann
spiral catchfoot very long before into the CoE
Sideleg spiral right into nice 2A (very nice!)
spin to end (a bit late)
nice extension but somewhat questionable posture
score 54.26
into second
I'm sure they downgraded Ashley's 2Axel.
Sounds about right, with the 2foot, and possible edge call on that Lutz.
Leonova up next...
I don't like Ashley's jumps. Period. She is a lovely skater, but those jumps are rushed and nearly always look somehow sloppy. Two 2-foots here, I think.
She got a wrong edge according to the commentators.

Since the Start page is XAML and can be customized, Robert builds a custom Start page that displays a number of developer-related RSS feeds and downloads two customized Start pages from the Visual Studio Gallery.
Oops, something didn't work.
useful to me, will try it out.
Yeah this was a good tip. I guess I never thought about modifying the start page.
Will definitely give this a try!!! Update: it's kinda nice having twit.tv in my studio...

To provide an open and effective forum for exchange of technical information between those areas of industry and government concerned with the implementation and execution of automated test and automatic test systems as part of maintenance of weapon systems.
The Automatic Test Division (ATC) was formed in the mid-70s as a result of a senior Navy study on automated test (Marcy Repot), with the formation of the Ad Hoc ATE Project for the U.S. Navy. This grew into the Joint Services ATE Project in the early 80s, and finally to the ATC as we know it today. The ATC is represented by more than 50 companies and organizations and has grown to be the premier advisor to the DoD on matters of automatic test. We have served as the Industry advisors to the DoD Automatic Test Equipment Management Board (AMB), thus enabling broad-based Industry input to the planning process and facilitating first-hand feedback from the DoD user community.The ATC is organized to support DoD AMB activities and initiatives. The Liaison organization maintains close contact with its DoD counterparts and reports current initiatives, projects and issues from each military service and industry. The Projects organization performs the studies, conducts the workshops and creates the reports that provide formal industry feedback to DoD inquires and tasks. When required, Working Groups are formed, drawing upon the Members-At-Large and other interested parties. The Integrated Family of Test Equipment User Group (IFTE User Group) and the Consolidated Automated Support System Test Program Set Group (CASS TPSG) are two very successful Working Groups that focused on specific ATE applications in the realm of the two approved DoD Automatic Test Systems.
The ATC meets four times a year, and its working groups meet as necessary. The ATC is closely aligned with the IEEE AUTOTESTCON, which is the premier Technical Conference & Trade Show devoted solely to Automatic Test with the Military, and one of our regular meetings is always held the Sunday prior to AUTOTESTCON. The ATC has an annual award, the John Slattery Memorial Award for engineering excellence, customer focus, and exceptions integrity in the ATC field. This award is presented as part of the AUTOTESTCON awards ceremonies. See the Systems Engineering Division homepage for more information.

Poll: Pennsylvanians support firmer gun-control measures
HARRISBURG -- A new poll shows strong support in Pennsylvania for certain gun-control measures.
The telephone survey by Connecticut-based Quinnipiac University released today showed 95 percent of Pennsylvania voters support background checks for all gun buyers.
The survey also found that voters support, by a three-to-two margin, nationwide bans on the sale of assault weapons and the sale of large-capacity ammunition magazines.
Voters were more closely divided on other issues.
The poll showed a slim majority -- 47 percent to 43 percent -- said they would favor the legalization of same-sex marriages. But respondents were evenly split over increasing gas taxes to finance highway and bridge repairs.
The survey was conducted over six days ending Sunday. The sampling error margin was plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

DAKOTA — Tri-District Ambulance Service had two possible routes to consider when the firm received a 911 dispatch at 2:45 p.m. April 6 to aid a farmer who collapsed while moving hay on his rural Dakota farm.
Each route spanned less than five miles from the Rock City ambulance firm, but emergency responders didn't arrive at the 5386 N. Dakota Road farm until 3:07 p.m., according to Stephenson County dispatch records.
Dakota Fire Protection District trustees say a 22-minute response time is unacceptable for an ambulance run that was either 4.6 miles or 4.7 miles away, depending on the route. At 3:22 p.m., the ambulance arrived at FHN Memorial Hospital where the farmer, 24-year-old Joshua Langholf, was pronounced dead.
Dakota taxpayers generated $70,995 for Tri-District last year, so Dakota fire board members say taxpayers aren't incredibly forgiving when they hear that ambulance personnel called dispatchers for directions — twice — before arriving at Langholf's farm. The company also received money from Davis and Rock City taxpayers.
"I don't see this as a GPS issue," said Rhonda Artman, a Dakota fire board member. "I see this as a crew that does not know where they're going (and) that is not trained properly. They don't know the district. They were told twice where to go. To me, that is very disserving."
Tri-District Ambulance is based at 108 Main St. in Rock City. It serves a 100-square mile area that includes Rock City, Dakota and Davis. Freeport-based Star Ambulance staffs the company.
Tri-District officials did not return phone calls and declined to comment when a reporter visited the Rock City office Friday. The company is hosting a 6:30 p.m. meeting Monday to explain its version of what happened.
Artman and other Dakota fire officials plan to be in the house.
"We want the public there," Artman said. "There needs to be some solid answers. We want answers. It can't ever happen again."
Stephenson County Clerk Vici Otte provided annual fire and ambulance levy amounts for the other two villages that contribute toward Tri-District's costs. Rock City levies about $69,903 for ambulance and emergency services; Davis, about $160,000 for an "ambulance fund."
Monday's meeting will be the second in response to Langholf's death.
Artman said her mission now is to protect taxpayers and get the service they deserve.
"We have to get the answers first," she said.
Dakota Fire Chief Dave Bordner also would like resolution to what he says are long-standing problems with Tri-District's response times. Being able to read a map is key, he said, noting that his volunteer firefighters have experienced their own GPS problems.
Page 2 of 2 - "We need to quit having excuses and fix the problem," he said.
Dakota fire board President Dave Parrish noted that his understanding of Tri-District's procedures is that the company's employees work 24-hour shifts and they immediately review a map when they get an address for a call.
They then enter the ambulance, which has a GPS system. The problem, he said, is that the GPS may not get a signal right away.
Once the vehicle gets moving, "it's harder yet for it to get a signal," Parrish said.
His understanding is that the village once had its own ambulance. Finding volunteers to drive the ambulance and respond to medical runs would be the issue, not financing such an endeavor, he said.

Where to walk, cycle and ride in Devon
Two Moors Way
The Devon Coast to Coast - Two Moors Way is a long-distance walking route between Ivybridge on the southern edge of Dartmoor and Lynmouth on the North Coast of Exmoor, comprehensively waymarked except on the open moorland sections. It has a total length of 102 miles (163 km), making it an ideal week's walk.
The Way links the only two National Parks in southern England, and crosses both of them north-south. Not surprisingly, it passes through landscape of exceptionally high quality. Not only does this include the high moorland of some of the Dartmoor and Exmoor sections, but also the deep and wooded valleys of the moorland edges and between the moors, unspoilt rural scenery with a remote and tranquil feel difficult to find elsewhere in modern times. Walking mostly not difficult, but one or two strenuous stretches; some unwaymarked open moorland requiring navigational skills.
The Devon Coast to Coast - Two Moors Way is the major north-south walking route across Devon, but the County has a whole network of walking routes, some of which link to the Devon Coast to Coast - Two Moors Way. For example, the Way coincides with the Tarka Trail for part of the route on Exmoor; links with the South West Coast Path at its northern end and with the Little Dart Ridge and Valley Walk, Taw-Teign Link, Dartmoor Way and Erme Valley Trail; a coast to coast walk is possible using the last of these.
Public Transport
The ideal way to walk the Devon Coast to Coast - Two Moors Way is to leave the car at home and use public transport to access the route. Bus services may be used to reach both ends of the route, Ivybridge and Lynmouth. Ivybridge may also be reached by train from Plymouth. In addition, Morchard Road, at the centre of the route, is on the Exeter-Barnstaple branch rail line.
Various other locations along the route may also be reached by less frequent bus services.
- Public transport information for the South West is available from Traveline 0870 608 2608.
- DevonBus timetable publications can be obtained from DevonBus 01392 382800.

FORESTVILLE – Routine samples collected from the village water system this week showed potentially harmful bacteria, and as a precaution the Chautauqua County Health Department has asked all village water customers to boil all water for drinking and cooking.
Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water certified for sale by the state Department of Health, county health officials advised. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice.
One potentially harmful bacteria was found – "a lot of it" – Mayor Beth Bowker told The Buffalo News. "We just found some bad elements and think it was an anomaly ... so we're erring on the side of caution."
Bowker declined to name the bacteria. She said county health workers will come in on Thanksgiving to analyze the samples taken today.
Water testing was conducted Tuesday and today, and at this point health officials aren't sure if a system-wide contamination exists or if the contamination was isolated to a single water tap sample. Results from samples taken today are expected to be available Thursday afternoon.

I don't put much stock in most "averages," whether they're rules of thumb [3] or average net worth [4], but every once and a while it's good to know where you stand.
So where do we find the average retirement savings by age? We are forced to rely on the internet. Unfortunately, with the recent stock market crash, writing about nest eggs and average retirement savings hasn't been very popular. To get data, we turn to the Employee Benefit Research Institute's latest report on Individual Account Retirement Plans (August 2009 [5]).
The EBRI's report has a ton of detailed information on almost everything you might want to know about retirement savings and participation, from defined contribution plans to IRAs. For the purposes of our comparisons, I'll just look at the age breakdown (2007 figures adjusted to 2009):
- < 35: $6,306
- 35 – 44: $22,460
- 45 – 54: $43,797
- 55 – 64: $69,127
- 65 – 75: $56,212
- 75+: (sample size insufficient)
Some words of warning after you read this:
- Remember that this data is just data, you can't draw any conclusions of what's right or wrong from the statistics alone.
- If you're "below average," you shouldn't feel bad about it. Age is not a good indicator of where you are in your life. Some people get a later start and others have a more inflated lifestyle, how much you've saved by when should only give you a bar to reach.
- If you're "above average," you shouldn't rest on your laurels and think you're doing great. Much like the words I wrote for those who are below, being above doesn't mean you'll have enough for retirement. You have a few years until retirement, a lot can happen then, so keep at it.
- Average doesn't mean someone in their 20s that has more than $6,306 is set in retirement (or that someone with less is screwed). It's estimated that you should spend about 4% of your nest egg each year. At 4%, your nest egg should last long enough. How does that 4% figure translate to your estimated yearly expenses? Divide how much you think you'll spend by 0.04 and you have your target (based on that rule of thumb) – $50,000 a year requires a nest egg of $1.25M.
Much like average net worth [4], it's useful to know where you stand but don't put too much stock in it.
How do you stack up? 🙂

The Little Couple Reveals How they Named Their Son
"When Jen and I met she started calling me Will," Klein tells PEOPLE, laughing. "I said, 'My name is Bill,' but at least for a weekend she called me Will until she finally gave up."
When the couple adopted their son William Rijin, they already knew what his name would be when they welcomed him home to Houston, Texas.
"It is a family tradition that the oldest boy in Bill's family would be William Walter or Walter William," explains Arnold. "We can continue part of the tradition but also keep part of his Chinese name and so that's what we decided to do."
Little Will, who was originally identified on camera with the "fake" name Ben for confidentiality purposes, was born on Feb. 24, 2010, and came home with his new parents on March 5, 2013. Now he can look forward to celebrating both his birth date and his "gotcha" date, when he was adopted.
"Jen loves to throw parties," says Klein. "I'm not a big fan of parties myself, but these are two days that I will be happy to always celebrate."
As he settles in to his new life, his happy parents are soaking up every moment of joy they can with him.
"I walk into a room and see him and I still can't believe he's ours," says Klein. Agrees Arnold, "We are so deeply in love with him already. It was meant to be."
The Little Couple's new season premieres April 30 at 10 p.m. on TLC.

We seem to be in the midst of the annual January thaw, a seasonal phenomenon that isn't overlooked by gardeners.
This is the perfect time to sneak in a little pruning while the shrubs and trees and still dormant and before the next wave of winter temperatures force us back indoors.
A lot of people are afraid of pruning. Anytime we start cutting away, we know that's pretty much it. There is no turning back. But once you get the hang of it, pruning can be not only fun, but beneficial to the plant too, especially if that plant is a dwarf or miniature tree or shrub.
Dwarf and miniature trees and shrubs will grow, although slowly, and over a number of years could get larger than the space provided. If that's the case, a little trimming will help keep the plant at the right size and shape for the landscape.
Dwarf and semi-dwarf fruit trees in particular are popular for gardeners who want the benefit of fruit but don't have the space for full size trees. These trees can get away from us with wild growth after a few years, which usually means smaller fruit. When fruit trees are kept small with proper pruning, the plants can focus most of their energy on producing fruit rather than growing big and strong.
Start by trimming away small shoots that emerge from the tree's trunk or older branches. These are small twigs are called water sprouts and are usually so small and weak that they aren't strong enough to hold fruit anyway. Don't feel bad about trimming them away.
In addition, cut away any suckers that emerge around the base of the tree or nearby.
The next thing I look at when pruning are branches that criss-cross each other or branches that are growing straight up through the center.
There are plenty of ways to prune, but I prefer a dish shape with center branches trimmed away to allow lots of light inside and air to circulate through the plant.
Many times a shrub will be nice and full on the outside, but if you push away the leaves and branches to expose the center, you'll see lot of bare branches and brown leaves. This is usually because there isn't enough light getting through to the center of the shrub.
Once the initial pruning is done, now it's time to stand back and look at what's left. The general rule of thumb is not to remove more than one-third of the tree or shrub. If a plant has been neglected and is very much overgrown, it could take a few years to get it back to the size and shape you want, but be patient.
The reason we prune is not just to keep plants the right size. Pruning also helps keep the plant healthy by getting rid of any diseased or broken branches. Except in the case of spring flowering shrubs and trees, pruning away old growth also promotes new growth and flower buds for the upcoming season.
It is important to note that you should never prune spring flowering shrubs, such as lilac, forsythia, redbud, dogwood and others. Those plants bloom on branches that grew the prior year, commonly called ''old wood.''
If you pruned these shrubs in winter, you will cut away the branches that form flowers. Wait until after these plants bloom in spring before pruning so they have time to produce new growth this year for next year's flowers.
Finally, make sure your pruning tools are clean and sharp. Wash off any dirt or debris left from the last pruning session and give the blades a few hits with a rasp, sharpening stone, grinder or other sharpening tool. If it's been a while, you might want to consider having the tools professionally sharpened.
Disinfect the tools with a solution of one part bleach to three parts water and let the blades soak in the solution for five to 10 minutes. Rinse in clear water and let the tools air dry.

An example of why this will not work is the PA turnpike. This was supposedly going to pay for itself (due to toll fees from PA residents and out of staters) in the matter of 10yrs (give or take) 30yrs later we are still paying and the road is crap. Penn DOT is a joke. I think we should bid the jobs out and give them to the prevailing wage companies so we can pay 3times the cost that it should actually be.

i'm part of the 80% that answered no, I think what people are failing to realize is that as we have more gas friendly, and in some cases electric/natural gas, cars a gas tax isn't going to do anything. The government/state need to come up with a better way to acquire money for road and bridge repair. Lets say 10 years down the road 20% of vehicles use less or no gas, where will the money come from then to repair roads and bridges. Maybe the way to charge would be a fee per mile driven, for instance $0.01 per mile driven average 10,000 miles a year for cars equals $100 a year. more for commercial trucks. This should be done when your car gets inspected or during registration every year.

I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you! .....that 79% of respondents said NO, they don't want to pay for roads and bridges. Bet these are the same people who think of the marvelous modern highways(80, 180, 99) which cross over and through this lightly populated region as coming from the tooth fairy! They somehow don't realize it was the rest of America and the major populated regions of PA that largely paid for the nice highways I mentioned. Think of the jobs created and sustained through these infrastructure projects. Oh, but not paid for out of Billy Teabaggers taxes! NO-SIR-EE!

Unbelievable! What are the roads and bridges going to fix themselves? The Tea Party doesn't want the Federal government involved in their lives and believe that each state can take care of their own problems! Good luck with that one.

In online writing, the use of several exclamation points where one, or none, will do. See also the adjective exclatulent, and exclatul1ce, the excited substitution of the figure 1 for one or more of the exclamation points, as in !1one.

Molly: Excited much?

Whether it's hitting deep home runs or gunning down runners, there's little that Wando outfielder Kep Brown can't do on the baseball field.
His feats on the diamond have garnered the rising high school senior national acclaim and college scholarship offers but this week he's hoping to put all the attention to good use for others.
As part of this year's Perfect Game All-American Classic, Brown is attempting to raise $2,000 for the Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego, California.
Rady is the largest children's hospital in California and is ranked by U.S. News and World Report as a national leader in pediatric cancer research.
Perfect Game is donating ticket proceeds from the annual all-star event and is encouraging each of its 54 high school All-Americans to participate in the fundraising.
While in San Diego preparing for the game, players spend time at Rady visiting with patients and playing with children. Brown says being able to use baseball to give back to those in need is one of his favorite parts of the game.
"Getting to help the children's hospital is the best part of this whole experience and the part I'm looking forward to the most," Brown said. "I've always prided myself in giving back and hopefully if baseball becomes my job, I can continue to give back to foundations like that."
This year's Perfect Game Classic will also feature a "Stand Up for the Fight Against Cancer" seventh-inning stretch to help raise awareness.
Those interested in helping can donate through Brown's Miracle Makers fundraising page. Since 2003, the Perfect Game All-American Classic has raised nearly $1 million dollars for charity.
"These kids need this money," Brown said. "Every penny counts and every donation can help save a life."
Brown is ranked as one of the nation's top 30 baseball players in the class of 2015. Last season, he helped Wando to 19 wins and a trip to the Class AAAA Lower State tournament.

Hawaii's state Senate passed a bill legalizing gay marriage on Tuesday, The Associated Press and Fox News reported.
The bill only needs the governor's signature now, and Gov. Neil Abercrombie has said he would sign the measure, the AP reported.
Abercrombie had called lawmakers into a special session for the measure, the wire service reported.
The bill passed by a vote of 19-4 with two senators excused, the AP reported.

Today marks the biggest day ever in the UK home entertainment calendar, as it sees the launch of Avatar on Blu-ray.
Retailers are crossing all their fingers and toes that Avatar's Blu-ray launch will catapult the format into the stratosphere, kick-starting a buying spree which won't stop until the 'next big' format hits the shops and then… well, the whole format fight starts all over again.
There's no doubt that Avatar will be a success in the home, considering it's already broken all records in the US, proving to be far more popular than the other Cameron who is a big supporter of all things blue.
And there is no denying that Avatar is a supernova of a film, something the box office will not likely see again for another 10 years. But its arrival on Blu-ray can only be seen as a cynical attempt to cash in on the film's unbridled success in the cinema.
Not that the likes of Tescos, Asda and HMV would tell you this. If press releases are to be believed, stores opened at midnight to cope with the Avatar madness, staff learned Na'vi to promote the movie and Asda cringingly told the press that it "expects customers will be literally turning blue to get their hands on a copy".
Ratio ga-ga
Retailers want Avatar to ape the success of The Matrix on DVD some 10 years ago – a moment that pushed DVD in the mainstream, where it remains today.
Cut beneath the hyperbole, though, and you will see that the launch of Avatar on Blu-ray is a vanilla one, in that there are no extras of note on the disc. All you get is the movie and it's the 2D version at that.
Watching Avatar in 2D is doing the film a massive disservice. There has been a lot of rumblings that films not shot specifically for 3D don't actually look that great in the third dimension – we're looking at you Alice In Wonderland and Clash of the Titans – but Avatar is meant to be seen in 3D, as it was built from the ground up to cater for the technology.
The problem is that the home is just not ready for 3D just yet. Yes, there's a smattering of 3D ready TVs and 3D Blu-ray players are also trickling out. But if Twentieth Century Fox waited for 3D in the home to be mainstream until it launched Avatar in this format then, well, we may never see the film come out in the UK at all.
Fox knows this and that is why we are seeing this release now, but the signs are all there that this is one film that just doesn't sit well in the home environment.
And it's not just the lack of 3D. Cameron in an interview last year announced his dislike (in a roundabout way) of the 1.78:1 aspect ratio for 2D movies.
Speaking at a preview snippet of Avatar at the Santa Monica Aero Theatre (and noted by SlashFilm) he said: "I'm actually going back on years of kind of eschewing the kind of 1.85 format, now saying 1.85 - or actually, it's 1.78:1 - actually works really well in 3D. But only in 3D."
A quick look at the release of Avatar in 2D shows that the movie is presented in 1.78:1 for the Blu-ray release.
Cameron cannot be a happy bunny.
Big ideas
James Cameron has said himself that Avatar belongs on the big screen, saying that when you watch the movie in the home but when you do you should: "Go big. Get the biggest set you can, and then sit as close as you can stand. That's my advice. Get the coffee table out of the way and slide the couch over, right in front of the TV."
The annoying thing is Cameron is an advocate for Blu-ray.
He's obviously eager to get the movie into homes in its 3D version but Fox has sniffed that there is money to be made and that's why we have this barebones release now.
There is some reasoning behind why Avatar is being released with absolutely no new content and that is because Panasonic - who authored the disc - has tried to give the film the best picture and sound quality.
Panasonic's official line is that Avatar is "the first Blu-ray release from a major studio to be produced without special features, trailers or promotional content, freeing up the maximum disc storage for the film and corresponding menu to ensure the best possible video and audio representation of James Cameron's spectacular world of Pandora."
This is all very well, but does it take up every gig of the 55GB of space?
If you really want to see Avatar in the home, then our advice is to wait till November when a special edition DVD and Blu-ray 3D release will arrive in the shops - a version that shows off the true potential of Blu-ray, its interactivity and special feature goodness, and isn't merely a money spinner.
Unless you are "literally turning blue" to see the film, then we suggest you go and see a doctor.

Niagara and St. Bonaventure were victorious in women's basketball on Saturday while the University at Buffalo and Canisius College's losing streaks continued.
The Purple Eagles (3-3) romped over Kent State, 82-55, at the Gallagher Center, the largest margin of victory since Kendra Faustin's first game as coach at Niagara. The Bonnies (4-4) used a 56-36 win over Southern (0-6) to snap their four-game losing streak and advance to the championship game of the Toledo Glass City Tournament.
Meanwhile, host Akron (6-1) took advantage of 20 Golden Griffins (2-4) turnovers to pull away with an 81-72 win, while the Bulls dropped their fifth consecutive game, this time to Bucknell, 78-71.
Niagara's 27-point victory is the program's largest since the 2007-08 season opener against Colgate (78-39). Lauren Gatto, who only played 21 minutes, scored 18 points and pulled in a team-high nine rebounds. Chanel Johnson added 16 points and eight rebounds, while Kayla Stroman and Kelly Van Leeuwen also scored in the double-digits, with 11 points each.
By halftime, the Bonnies built a 26-14 lead after shooting 41.7 percent while holding the Jaguars to 22.2 percent, a season-low for opponents.
The Bonnies jumped out with a 10-0 run to start the second half, and didn't allow the Jaguars to score until the 15:41 mark. Bona built a 20-point lead with 12:49 remaining on a jumper by Ashley Zahn. Alaina Walker led the Bonnies with a game-high 15 points and a game-high eight rebounds. Zahn finished with 11 points and added a career-best six rebounds.
The Bonnies play Toledo (5-1) in the championship game this afternoon at 2:30 p.m.
Canisius led, 70-69, after a three-pointer from Jamie Ruttle with 3:14 left. The Zips' Hanna Luburgh answered on the next possession with a three-pointer to put Akron up by two, then Rachel Tecca jumped a Canisius pass at the top of the key and scored an uncontested layup to put Akron up by four.
Two free throws from Ruttle brought Canisius within two, but the Griffs couldn't get any closer and were held scoreless in the final two minutes.
Jen Morabito led Canisius with 20 points, including 5 for 10 from three-point range. Ashley Wilkes had 15 points and seven rebounds while Ruttle had 14 points and eight rebounds. The Griffs shot 46 percent and owned a 42-34 advantage in rebounding, but the Zips used a 21-5 advantage in points off turnovers to pull away.
UB trailed, 74-71, with 19 seconds left, but Bucknell's Shelby Romine and Lindsay Horbatuck made two free throwns each to put the game away. Rachel Gregory scored 17 points, including 9 of 11 from the free-throw line, Karin Moss finished with 15 and Valerie Majewski and Kristen Sharkey added 11 each for UB (1-7).
Today's game
In Big 4 men's hoops, Niagara continues its non-conference schedule with a 2 p.m. game today at Central Michigan.
The Purple Eagles, playing their third of five consecutive road games, have lost back-to-back games. After a narrow defeat against rival St. Bonaventure, Niagara was clipped in its conference opener at Iona. Four Purple Eagles were in double figures, led by Antoine Mason who scored 24 points.
Niagara has won all three meetings with the Chippewas from the Mid-American Conference, most recently during the 2010-11 season when the Purple Eagles erased a nine-point second half deficit with an 18-2 run en route to a 61-55 win at the Gallagher Center.
Niagara coach Joe Mihalich, the winningest coach in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference history, is two wins shy from reaching 250 for his career.

What's up with this guy anyways? Detroit sucks? Give me a break, which team has been the most successful since the mid 90's? D
Man sometimes you just have to get over things. It's a tradition in Chicago to hate everything Detroit. Infact, i take it as a compliment that they chant that kind of thing even at games when the wings arent playing. Anyways, its tradition, and Piven is just showing his roots, its nice to see celebs with pride of their teams. I love piven, think hes awesome in everything he does, and this commerical doesnt affect that. Anyways, you better get used to it, because you are going to be hearing it for atleast 2 games this series. All in the name of good sports. Looking forward to a great emotional series, and the start of another good rivalry. Finally the central division is fun to watch again...THANK GOD

on September 15, 2012 - 6:53 PM
Feb 26, 1920 - Sept. 10, 2012
Mathew Tworek, a much-admired violinist and former associate concertmaster for the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, died Monday of a heart condition at age 92.
Mr. Tworek of Cheektowaga was the last survivor of the BPO musicians who performed at the opening of Kleinhans Music Hall on Oct. 12, 1940.
Although his 60-year career as a musician was interrupted by his combat service in the Army during World War II, including the Battle at Anzio in Italy, he took his violin with him into the war zone.
The Buffalo-born musician's career spanned everything from his beloved classical music to contemporary commercial genres and the continental and Viennese violin pieces he loved to play for his many audiences through the years, including Jascha Heifetz, who was regarded as one of the most influential violinists of the 20th century.
Mr. Tworek studied at the Eastman School of Music and joined the BPO at a very young age.
Gracing the BPO stage for more than 50 years with both a mustache and an energetic playing style that captured audience interest without taking away from the ensemble performances of the orchestra, Mr. Tworek was associate concertmaster under conductor William Steinberg.
Mr. Tworek was a first violinist under conductors Franco Autori, Josef Krips, Lukas Foss, Michael Tilson-Thomas, Julius Rudel, Smeyon Bychkov and Maximiano Valdes.
"Matty" to his many friends, he served as the original concertmaster for Buffalo's ARS Nova ensemble and was concertmaster for the Cheektowaga Symphony, the Niagara Falls Symphony and the St. Catharines, Ont., and Erie, Pa., philharmonics.
He was a violinist for pop legends Judy Garland, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis Jr., Liberace, Frank Sinatra and John Denver when they performed at North Tonawanda's Melody Fair Theater.
He performed with the WBEN Orchestra, which played live as part of the station's programming atop the old Statler Hilton where he also was a regular performer in its Rendezvous Room.
Several years ago, Mr. Tworek recalled that one Sunday afternoon in February 1947, during a BPO intermission, he was called into the dressing room of maestro William Steinberg.
"Oh boy, everybody was chiming in as if I was in really big trouble," he recalled. "Even I was a little scared when I entered his room. But the maestro smiled and said he just wanted me to know that he and his dinner guest had really enjoyed my fiddle playing the previous night. That guest was Jascha Heifetz."
A violin teacher for decades, Tworek in his 80s enjoyed performing with his coloratura soprano daughter Adrienne Tworek-Gryta at concerts featuring Viennese and Polish repertoire and later with his soprano granddaughter Emily Tworek-Helenbrook.
He particularly championed the music of Polish composers throughout his career and performed many programs for the Chromatic Club of Buffalo, the Canisius College Polish Chair, the Polish Arts Club, the Dante Alighieri Club, WBFO Radio, the Lancaster Opera House and Buffalo's Friends of Vienna organization.
Survivors include his two daughters, Adrienne Tworek-Gryta and Marisa Tworek-Helenbrook.
Mr. Tworek was buried Sept. 12 alongside his beloved wife, Eleanor Firlik Tworek, who died in 1990.
A memorial service is planned for the near future.

DELAND, Fla. – The Stetson University softball team will take the short trip down I-4 this weekend to take part in the Holiday Inn UCF tournament. The Hatters (6-1) will play four games in two days in Orlando as they compete against Princeton, the College of Charleston, UT Martin and SIUE.
Stetson returns to the diamond after a two week layoff following its near perfect homestand, hosting the Hatter Invitational, where it defeated Elon, Campbell and Bethune-Cookman in back-to-back games.
The Hatters first take the field this weekend against Princeton, Friday at 5 p.m., inside the UCF Softball Complex. They then will play the Cougars from the College of Charleston at approximately 7 p.m. Head coach Frank Griffin's squad continues action on Saturday with a 1:30 p.m. contest against UT Martin and then wraps up the weekend with a 6 p.m. game versus SIUE.
Game times during the tournament are approximate and will start roughly 30 minutes following the completion of a prior contest. Live stats will be available for the weekend via GoHatters.com as well as by following the Stetson softball twitter feed (@StetsonSoftball). Scores are also available by receiving updates from the Hat-Alerts text messaging system.

This is the best bag ever! The leather is supple, with perfect dying. The hardware finish, silver tone, is handsome and well-made. The outside pouches are perfect for sunglasses, key, and the like. The interior zip compartment is ample for necessities. I bought the pouch as well, so I can use it as a small purse when I don't need the whole bag. The bag gets many compliments. It's also wonderful for traveling, for a book bag, for electronic pads, ebook readers, and so many others. It would be a terrific chum on a plane. It's simply the best, stylish, practical, and durable. The blue color is perfect, a medium range blue that doesn't shout; it doesn't have to. It's a lovely blue that's equally at home with jeans or career clothing. I'll have it for years. I feel better every time I carry it! Its only problem: now I feel as if I need to get it a cousin in brown or black. You will not be disappointed in any way.

I like to be able to carry a bag over my shoulder. The handle straps on this bag are too short for that and the shouder strap is waaay to long. So, after a trip to a shoe repair to put about 7 holes in so th bag doesn't hang to my knees, I though I was good to go. Unfortunately, when you use the shoulder strap, the bag gapes open unless you zip it each time. Kinda inconvenient, no?Otherwise, sturdy and well-made. Not a head-turner. Pouch is a little too small to hold a wallet easily. Outside pockets are pretty good and stuff doesn't fall out. Even a cell phone placed in the end pockets stays put. Overall, just "eh." Wouldn't buy again and wouldn't recommend.

Best bag ever!

Comments about Levenger St. Tropez Leather Tote Bag and Pouch:
This is the most versatile and functional bag ever! I carry it both as briefcase and handbag. Can fit all my personal things, junior filio, laptop, files and water bottle. Outside pockets are so handy for cellphones and keys, tissue, pens, and snacks.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Sturdy, quality, timeless

The bag is functional and made to last. Details most people don't think of are integrated into the construction of this bag

Love it, but could it be just a bit bigger?
By MimiWess

,,,and have one zipped compartment on the outside? It's elegant and useful; however, my 15" MacBook Pro with a very narrow shell is a bit difficult to get in and out. Also, for tromping around a city (San Francisco), I'm a bit nervous about having my phone in a pocket that's accessible. Other than that,,,

I LOVE this bag. I recently used this on vacation and it was very functional; high quality product. Plenty of pockets to keep you organized. Would make a great gift for someone that loves organization accompanied with a high quality handbag.The shoulder strap is plenty long enough to wear as a cross body bag.
Love the pockets and color!

The vibrant cobalt color is very attractive and a nice change from all my black and brown business cases and computer covers. The large pockets are fabulous for water bottles, cell phone, you name it. The only reason that I didn't give 5 stars is for reasons mentioned in reviews by others: The leather is very nice but not quite as butter-soft or fine as previous Levenger products I've purchased. Also, it is a bit soft and unstructured, again as another reviewer mentioned, so it flops over unless it's filled with something when storing.
Great bag
By SplendidBlended

I love this bag -- it is my go-to bag. I love the pockets on the outside and use it as my travel and work bag. As a gal who is only 5'3", I would love to see the adjustable shoulder strap in a shorter length! That part is not useable for me… way too long. Went on the site to see if there's another strap to buy but can't find one!
What a super gift!

I wanted a new purse for Christmas. One with a lot of pockets for all of my paraphernaila. My mother-in -law must have read my mind. I hadn't made up my wish list yet. I can't imagine how she knoew what I wanted. Super good qulity tiem.
Really good tote
By teddypup
from Manchester, MD
This tote is especially nice with one exception--it is too soft and comfortable! I would like it a bit stiffer to stand up by itselt. It is ample size, easy to carry, holds lots of stuff and just looks great. The brown color is attractive and very understated. It is a bit expensive, but it was my splurge item.It is professional enough to use as a briefcase and dressy enough to take to meetings.
Top Quality
By Becca

Finding a bag that is both professional and stylish can be a challenge. This bag is both, as well as functional, roomy but not too big. The pouch is an added bonus to keep personal items. I am very happy with my selection and use it daily. This is a top quality tote bag.
