Town and village officials in Hyde Park are continuing to work to combine the plans for the future of their municipalities. On Thursday, November 8 a public hearing on the creation of the 2012 Town and Village Comprehensive Development Plan was held as part of the Hyde Park Selectboard meeting.
The proposed new plan would combine the existing town and village plans into one comprehensive document. Vermont statute requires that a town or village's development plan be updated every five years, and the Hyde Park Planning Commission just recently finished that process for both municipalities in Hyde Park. The new plan that will result from the proposed combination of the two separate plans will mean that only one document will need to be updated every five years while also bringing the two plans into agreement.
At the November 8 public hearing no major errors or required changes were found with the proposed combined plan. This means that a second hearing will be held as scheduled on December 12 as part of the Hyde Park Village Trustees meeting. At that meeting the Village Trustees and Hyde Park Selectboard can vote to officially adopt the new plan, thereby creating one planning and development document for both municipalities. The second joint meeting on the new town and village plan will be held on Wednesday, December 12 at the Lanpher Memorial Library beginning at 7 p.m.
According to Hyde Park Planning Commission member Greg Paus the creation of the 2012 Town and Village Comprehensive Development Plan will not be the end of the work in that area. Officials in Hyde Park have submitted an application for funding that if approved will help the planning commission rewrite and combine the zoning bylaws for both the village and town.
"We plan to take a fresh look at the bylaws and will likely be completely rewriting them rather than simply combining the old laws," explained Paus, "The new joint bylaws will reinforce the goals in the new town plan and will make dealing with the bylaws in Hyde Park much less confusing."
Paus further explained that Hyde Park Town Zoning Administrator Ron Rodjenski has ideas for the new bylaws, and the town will also be working with Seth Jensen at the Lamoille County Planning Commission, who will be acting as the professional consultant for the project and ensuring that the new bylaws stay in conformance with state statutes. According to Paus it should take about a year to rewrite the bylaws once Hyde Park officials learn if their request for funding has been granted. A series of public hearings would be needed before the bylaws were officially approved and adopted.

MARTINSBURG - During a special meeting Tuesday, Martinsburg City Council members heard from all sides in an appeal by St. Joseph Catholic Church of a decision by the city's Historic Preservation Review Commission, but a ruling by council members will not be made until their next regularly scheduled meeting in June.
"The councilmen need to deliberate," Kin Sayre, the council's legal counsel, said after the meeting. "They have a lot of information to digest."
The council has 30 days to render a decision on the appeal and written findings of fact, he said. Findings of fact is the reason for the council's decision.
"I will write a findings of fact denying the appeal and a findings of fact granting the appeal," Sayre said.
According to the city's zoning ordinance, decisions by the HPRC can be appealed to the council. This was the ninth time in about the last five years that a decision by the HPRC has been appealed to the council, including one appeal brought by the city's planning department staff.
In the past, council members have voted when the appeal was presented and the findings of fact were written after the vote was taken.
Council members have overturned the previous eight appeals of HPRC decisions, two of which were brought by the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston: one regarding the demolition of the old John Street School and one regarding a house on West John Street.
Father Eric Hall, on behalf of St. Joseph, appealed the HPRC's decision denying the church's request to replace a failing red-brick wall between the rectory and the church with gray-colored landscape blocks.
HPRC members unanimously voted at their May 5 meeting that the brick wall should be replaced with brick to maintain the historic architecture and streetscape.
"The landscape wall doesn't preserve the historic streetscape - it must be replaced in kind," Keven Walker, a member of the HPRC and an architectural historian, told council members Tuesday.
Hall said if the wall were replaced with bricks, it would eventually fail as well and the problem would continue to exist. He said the gray-colored landscaping blocks would better match a limestone wall in front of the rectory and it would be a designed retaining wall with a drainage system.
"My utmost concern is to not only follow the rules, but to preserve and maintain the buildings the church is entrusted with," Hall said.
A couple of City Council members expressed their concern with overturning another HPRC decision.
"I grow weary of taking power away from the HPRC members and not allowing them to do their job," Councilman Jason Baker said, adding that he had voted to overturn HPRC decisions in the past. "I have a fundamental problem with overturning the HPRC."
Councilman Kevin Knowles agreed, and he and Baker asked if the church and the HPRC could not work out their differences.
"Can't you find some common ground and work together so we don't continue to have the opportunity to appeal?" Knowles asked.
"We are not empowered to negotiate," Gary Gimbel, the chairman of the HPRC, answered. "We review the appropriateness of requests. The vote was unanimous to deny what was presented to us. We would consider a resubmitted request."
The next City Council meeting is June 12, when members apparently will vote on the appeal.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba— Goaltender Cory Schneider offered a bitter dose of honesty.
If there is reason for optimism six games into the season, the Devils are doing a good job of disguising it as they remain winless.
"(We were) close, but close isn't good enough right now," Schneider said after a 3-0 loss to the Winnipeg Jets Sunday night at MTS Centre.
"Again we worked hard. They got the bounce to get the winning goal and we didn't. We just have to find a way. You have to outplay the guy you're up against, and that includes me. Al was good tonight and he just made that one extra save than I did."
Former Rangers first round pick Al Montoya, the sixth overall selection in the 2004 entry draft, posted the shutout for the Jets in his first appearance of the season.
The Devils have been shut out twice in six games are and 0-3-3.
"Even though we only have three points, look at our division. We're still in the middle of the pack," captain Bryce Salvador suggested. "The important thing is to not get discouraged.
"We've been fortunate to thye point that other teams in the division haven't had good starts either. We've bought some time."
Nevertheless, poor starts can derail a season. Even an 82-game season.
"When other teams are putting distance and putting points up, we all know how hard it is late in the year to gain ground when you have three-point games and shootouts and all that stuff," Schneider pointed out. "You don't want to get too far behind. You want to get that first win and that good feeling so we can kind of right the ship here."
Because of Schneider (32 saves), the Devils only trailed, 1-0, entering the third period. And Winnipeg's goal had come on a lucky deflection early in the second.
Evander Kane skated up the left wing past defenseman Adam Larsson, cut to the net and put a shot on Schneider from deep in the left circle. The rebound deflected off Devils defenseman Andy Greene in the crease and into the net at 2:57.
"Sometimes when it's not going well those are the types of goals that go in," Schneider said. "I've always been a big believer that at least for a goalie it tends to even out. Pucks hit your guys and go in sometimes, but then later in the year you might get posts or pucks just missing opens nets.
"I'm not sure what else Greene could've done. He was just trying to play his position, the puck hits him and goes in. Such is life. I think it hit my stick and kind of steered it to the middle. Greenie was with his guy and it went off him and in. Bad luck."
The Devils had started the second period on a power play. When James Wright took a hooking penalty 42 seconds in, they had a 5-on-3 advantage for 1:13. But they couldn't score.
"We had a full 5-on-3," coach Pete DeBoer said. "If we score it's a different game."
Montoya wound up with 24 saves and the game ended badly for the Devils. Kane scored an empty net goal with 57 seconds left after Schneider had been pulled for an extra skater.
Then, Marek Zidlicky lost the puck to Jim Slater, who set up a goal by Andrew Ladd with 36.5 seconds to go.
"I think we were a little disappointed in our third period. It was a period we had to win, the biggest period of the year for us. They came out and, I thought, really outplayed us in the third," Schneider said. "We were in it. We had chances to win, or tie it up at least, but it's getting a little late for almosts and moral victories."
Time for a shakeup?
"I don't know," DeBoer said. "We have to do something."

February 21, 2000
A half-day program will still be available at each elementary school, but parents at some sites may be offered the opportunity for a tuition-based, full-day program. A number of kindergarten teachers have been eager for this opportunity for some time, but space limitations with a growing enrollment in the school district have not made this possible in past years. The recent decline in enrollment, both districtwide and especially at the elementary level, has allowed space to explore a full-day program option.
Northshore will host a kindergarten parent orientation on March 2nd (and repeated on March 7) at 7:30 p.m. in the Ricketts building auditorium in downtown Bothell. A panel of educators will provide an overview of Northshore's current kindergarten program. Information about assisting children in preparing for kindergarten will be emphasized.
At this meeting, the district will assess the level of interest in a full-day program and make a decision about which sites might offer this option in the fall. Sites offering full-day kindergarten will be identified prior to Northshore's regular kindergarten registration. The number of full-day classrooms will be based on parent interest in each elementary service area.

Offer some kudos...
Join the conversation...
Ask a question...
Add your comment...
|Here are some details about my project:
|Romantic, Retro / Vintage, Whimsical
What was your source for this embroidery project?
Online Photo or Website
Name of website or photo Crazy Patchwork Pouch
What materials did you use? This is found on page 26 of the book 21 Sensational Patchwork bags and that book is where the link below will take you.
What are you most proud of? I am proud to have completed the project and replicated the original for the most part with the exception of being able to duplicate the fabrics...it is still a one of a kind, that is for sure!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Make sure if you are foundation piecing a piece going at an odd angle that you have cut an extra large piece of fabric and figured out how the material will fold once it is flipped so that it covers all the necessary area. Foundation piecing is easy once you learn all the little tricks to the shapes.
I truly love this. I have tons of satins and fabrics that would be just the ticket for these types. I used to embroider but sold the machine so I am a hand worker now. I went to amazon and found the book and am buying it. I love making handbags and mixing crochet with fabric is too too cool. Thanks for the tip! Bless you!
I also use "Readers Digest Complete Guide to Embroidery Stitches" to come up with all the different embroidery stitches if you need a resource for that. It's a great book, too! I'd love to have a bag like this alot bigger, but I'd be scared to carry it around, the materials are so delicate! It'd be pretty though!
its hand embroidery, not crochet on there...you use an embroidery needle but the stitching is similar to crochet. You could probably catch on quick if you know how to crochet and machine embroider I think...let me know if you have questions when you get started!
okay...as soon as I get the book, I will start a bag and if I get stuck, I will let you know.....k?
Your bag is beautiful!
Your Bag is Unbelievably Beautiful. I really like the use of vintage-like fabrics--the animal prints, satin and the silk along with embellishments----WOW! Are U selling? Let me know. Very Retro 'Hippy, Bohemian-like.' I had a similar one back in the 70's. I hope that U make more for all to see.

i am on a windows box using ssh.com's ssh client (will call it client).
my linux box (host) at work does not have a open port to the internet
but another linux box (gateway) on our network does. i can ssh into
this box and then from that terminal ssh into mine. i have a vnc server
running on host
what i want to do is forward port from client through gateway to host
so i can vnc directly from client to host. theport the vnc server is
running on is 5901 and the port i will use on client is 5902.
to add addition problems i have a different username for each box.
using my ssh clients command window in windows, ssh2.exe, i have
tried the following:
ssh2 -L 5902:host_user@host:5901 gateway_user@gateway
this asks me for my gateway username and appears to log me into this.
no pass for host_user is asked for and it appears that no ports have
been forward, atleast not to host. is there anyway of telling in linux
if ports have been forwarded?
if anyone could suggest the correct command to achieve what i want that
would be great

Probably one of the most under-rated players coming into next season is Saguaro OL/DL Chris Merrill. Turn on the video and you can see that an argument can be made that Merrill is the top two-way lineman in the state. He was an all region, all city and all state selection on both sides of the ball.
As a DE Merrill recorded 73 tackles and 21 sacks. Here are clips from his junior year. He wears #70:
He is highlighted here playing right guard:
At 6-2 260 pounds Merrill does not have prototypical D1 size but what he may lack in size he makes up for in strength and intensity. His weight room numbers are impressive. He boasts a bench of over 400 pounds, squats nearly 600 and hang cleans 315. He runs in the 5.0 range in the forty with a best hand time of 4.98 and he ran a 5.1 at the Scout.com combine in LA.
Merrill currently does not have an offer but a lot of schools stopped by to evaluate Merrill this summer and the schools that seem to have shown the most interest are UNLV, Oregon State, Fresno State, Colorado, Arizona State. Arizona and Washington State, He plans to attend one day camps at ASU and UofA.
Last season Merrill heped Saguaro to a 13-1 record and a 4A1 state title.

'Springer' Guests Sought in Slaying
A confrontation on "The Jerry Springer Show" could have led to murder. In an episode that was taped in May and was broadcast Monday, Ralf Panitz and his wife, Eleanor Panitz, accused his former wife (who appeared on the show) of stalking them. Shortly after the broadcast, the body of Nancy Campbell-Panitz was found dead, said Florida's Sarasota County Sheriff's Office. "This is a terrible tragedy," said a spokeswoman for the Springer show, which is cooperating with the investigation, she told the Associated Press. Investigators would not reveal how the victim was killed but did categorize the 52-year-old woman's death as a homicide and confirmed that they are searching for Panitz, 40, and his new wife, 45. The episode on which the three people appeared was called "Secret Mistresses Confronted."


text: In the quest to reign the world of home entertainment streaming, partnering with Microsoft to provide your movie download service on Xbox 360 is definitely a good move. In fact, it's a safe bet that a good percentage of potential set top box owners are already packing an Xbox 360 and for these guys you're practically a shoo in. Netflix, of course, is the lucky winner here. Showcased at a Microsoft roundtable event held yesterday, Netflix's Xbox 360 streaming service was actually quite impressive. Movies and TV episodes added to the Netflix queue (this still has to be done on a PC for now) become available on the Xbox 360 almost instantly and playback is controlled with the same familiar navigational elements used during DVD and video playback. As Netflix continues to expand its streamable library beyond the 10,000 movies and TV episodes already present, this partnership with Microsoft is going to help their service tremendously. Once it launches, the Netflix on Xbox 360 service will require a Gold level Xbox-Live subscription.

The graduate students in History at the University of Toronto are pleased to invite proposals for the Fourth Annual Graduate History Symposium, to be held February 8-9, 2008. The aim of this two-day conference is to explore scholarly research into cross-cultural relations. We understand culture in its broadest sense as a shared system of values and attitudes, and as such would encompass religion, race, ethnicity, nationality, politics, class and gender. Any topic related to the theme of cultures in contact will be considered.
Globalization, multiculturalism, ethnic tension - evidence of cultures in contact is all around us. History shows us that transnational and cross-cultural interactions are not unique to the contemporary world. For centuries, different cultural groups have come into contact. The effects have been both positive - enrichment of languages & art, technological advancement, exchange of knowledge - and negative - wars, imperialism, racism, discrimination. The outcome of such interactions are at the centre of Cultures in Contact.
Based in one of the most multicultural cities in the world, the University of Toronto is an exciting place to discuss these issues. We encourage submissions from graduate students from all disciplines. It is our goal to provide a supportive environment for graduate students to present work in progress and receive feedback.
Proposals, which should not exceed 250 words, should be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please also include a short biographical sketch. The deadline for submissions is November 16th, 2007. You will be notified of acceptance by mid-December.

Survivor: Palau Contestant Jennifer Lyon Dies at 37

Jennifer Lyon, who placed fourth on Survivor: Palau in 2005, died at her home in Oregon Tuesday night, PEOPLE has confirmed. She was 37.
The reality TV star was first diagnosed with stage-three breast cancer a few months after she wrapped Survivor, and opted for a modified, radical bilateral mastectomy, followed by courses of chemotherapy and tamoxifen, a drug used to prevent recurrence.
"In the summer of 2004, I felt something in my right breast that didn't feel normal," Lyon told PEOPLE in October 2005. "I thought it was probably scar tissue related to my breast implants. So I let it go – for a long time."
Being on the CBS competition boosted her spirits and provided an inner strength to battle her disease. "Survivor taught me there's an end in sight," she told PEOPLE. "As hard as it is, it will be over, and you have to appreciate every day."

Survivor: Palau's Gregg Carey

Gregg Carey thought he had it made. The Chicago business consultant was one of the final six contestants on Survivor: Palau and part of a longstanding five-member alliance – plus he'd developed a close connection with his Koror tribemate, Jennifer Lyon. So when he won a reward challenge and chose Jennifer and her friend Katie to share his prize – a day of pampering aboard a luxury yacht – life seemed good. Little did he know that, while he was gone, his allies were plotting against him, and at the next tribal council, he was shocked to find himself voted off. Carey, 28, recently talked with PEOPLE about paying the ultimate price for love.

FOOLED: The Koror alliance crumbled Thursday on Survivor: Palau, when 28-year-old Gregg Carey was sent to the jury after being ambushed by teammates Tom and Ian. Following his win for the reward challenge, Gregg took his Survivor sweetheart Jenn and fellow player Katie on a yacht cruise where the three plotted their road to the end. But back at camp Tom and Ian enlisted the help of odd-member-out Caryn, and decided to surprise Gregg, whom they felt was likely to go all the way. After forcing Katie's hand in the voting, Gregg – and Jenn – was shocked to discover his game was ending. The season finale of Survivor: Palau airs May 15 on CBS.
Survivor: Palau's Stephenie LaGrossa

Stephenie LaGrossa proved to be the toughest member of Survivor: Palau's Ulong tribe – she outlasted every one of her teammates and even fended for herself in their desolate camp. But the Philadelphia pharmaceutical sales rep's strength made her a threat when she joined the Koror tribe. Ultimately, Koror voted her off, and she became the third member of the jury that will choose Survivor's $1 million winner. LaGrossa, 25, recently talked to PEOPLE about making it on her own, getting love letters – and why she can't wait for next season.

But after failing to win immunity, the 25-year-old pharmaceutical sales rep from Philadelphia was voted out – unanimously – by her old rival Koror tribe, now leaving the competition between three women and three men. After her torch was snuffed, Stephenie said: "I was outnumbered by an entire tribe. I'm actually really proud." Stephenie became the 12th castaway voted off and will serve on the jury that will decide who will win $1 million on the May 15 season finale.

91 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - September/October 2011
($25) Medium straw-yellow with gold highlights. Pear, yellow apple and almond on the deep, captivating nose. Juicy apple and almond flavors are complemented by a mineral aspect. Crisp but not hard, with an almost piercing quality to its long, minerally finish. One of the best friulanos of 2010, which was not an easy vintage for this variety owing to plenty of rain at the end of the growing season, something that the thin-skinned friulano does not appreciate.

Depending on the field and employer, a risk management analyst may have a variety of responsibilities. Generally speaking, this employee is a person who studies the ways large companies avoid financial risks and potential pitfalls, and makes suggestions to improve these systems and maintain their efficiency.Read More...
Almost all large corporations have risk-management teams. A risk management analyst at a non-financial company will focus mainly on assessing how well the company's insurance works and how related costs can be contained. Typically, this involves examining liability insurance as it relates to customers and auditing the ways that customer claims are collected and filed. The analyst examines these processes and looks for trends in how claims may be paid by the liability insurers for the company, and works to determine if procedures can be adjusted to reduce settlements and payouts that affect premiums paid. Additionally, the analyst constantly examines the marketplace for the most cost-effective insurance solutions possible for his/her employer.
Risk management analysts also perform similar duties related to employee claims regarding injury, wrongful terminations, and other areas that may lead to insurance claims or litigation. This analyst is less interested in specific case strategies and more interested in overall procedures, reporting methods, and claims processes. He/she also makes recommendations to help ensure the best practices which reduce overall costs for the employer.
In financial institutions, risk management analysts may have an entirely different set of responsibilities. Banks and investment groups typically use these analysts to assess investment strategies and financial products to determine worst-case scenarios and financial exposure for the company. These analysts will generate reports to balance against expected return on investment reports from financial product and investment teams. They also make recommendations regarding the expected risks and dangers that specific strategies or products may bring to the institution.
Most risk management analysts have at least a four-year degree from a college or university. Most also specialize in business and finance, while some may find it useful to continue into studying business or insurance and liability law. Generally, these analysts work regular business hours in an office environment.

WCO#239: Dresden Codak
Aaron Diaz's Dresden Codak is a strange creature. It debuted back in 2005, back when webcomics were developing a reputation as the sophisticated alternative to their comic strip brethren. xkcd launched in the same year, and A Lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible not long before that. Perry Bible Fellowship was starting to gain a strong following. At the core of these comics as a brainy just-out-of-college mentality. The gags were still sometimes juvenile, but at its core were concepts and ideas that were smarter and more clever than ones on the Sunday Funnies. Except Marmaduke. That comic is pretty dang subversive.
And all of them, including xkcd sometimes, would surprise you by hitting you with some great looking art. It may be easy to forget, since a lot of art grads now know of webcomics as a great way to expand their portfolio, but aesthetically webcomic art was pretty dire. The medium, after all, was originally conceived as an amateur hobby where some folks got lucky despite the artistic merit, e.g. tons of pixel comics. As a result, comics like Dresden Codak were incredibly eye-catching in comparison.
Typical of early Dresden Codak is a comic like "Li'l Werner." It's a one-shot comic with no continuity baggage. Diaz is still experimenting with his art style: this time homaging the black-and-white cross-hatching of Edward Gorey. The strip hinges around a tongue-in-check parody of Aryan physics (the Nazi nationalist scientific movement to discredit Jewish scientists like Albert Einstein). There's a sharped-toothed Philip Lenard recalling anti-Semitic caricatures, a tiny Heisenberg, and something about "current momentum." I don't pretend to know what the heck any of this is about. But it sounds smart and the multiple tiny Heisenbergs is a cute visual gag. It's a lovely comic to introduce to your local Tesla fan.
WCO #231: MS Paint Adventures: Homestuck (Act 6)
(For the rest of this multi-part review, check out my thoughts on Acts 1-4 and Act 5.)
You've got to hand it to Andrew Hussie. They guy seems to go out of his way to be as alienating as possible. Just when it seems like the story's gaining traction, he's all, "Nuts to that sh*t. Time to roll with something that makes even less sense." When MS Paint Adventures: Homestuck started, it bore a lot of similarities with its predecessor, Problem Sleuth, as a parody of an adventure game, complete with confusing inventory systems and glitchy controls. But then, all of the sudden, it became this complex world-building mythology, with multiple planets and a core system of light and darkness anchored by two planets with two moons.
And then Act 5 rolls around. Hussie introduces a bunch of abrasive new characters with orange horns that were so myriad that they seemed impossible to track. Oh yeah, and they've got their own alternative world and a complicated system of romance. Clearly, Hussie has disappeared straight up his own butt, right? Well, that maybe so… but the gamble paid off, and Homestuck became more popular than it ever had been before. At least with the costume stores supplying gray facepaint to all the troll cosplayers out there.
When we get to Act 6, then, the question isn't, "So, what's Hussie going to do to answer all these puzzles and mysteries?" It becomes more, "What sort of ridiculous bull is Hussie going to make up just to needlessly confuse and deliberately obfuscate the story even further?"
There are drawbacks to being this experimental, though. At some point, the mythology can get too top heavy, and the characters the readers learned to love over the course of the story get lost in the shuffle. Hey, Losties: remember Lost, Season 6? The experimental one that discarded the format, explored all new characters with a sideway universe where the cast had different adventures because they were living in a parallel world?
Me neither.
The Webcomic Overlook #235: Hobo Lobo of Hamelin
Ladies and gentlemen: how do we know we're in the future? Is it when we get flying cars? Is it when we can replace our arms with cyborg parts? If comic pundits will have you believe, it's when webcomics realize their full potential and embrace the infinite canvas. No more being restrained to the rigid static confines of a piece of paper, developed hundreds of years ago! Why live within those archaic limitations? We're living in the future, son!
And just like how flying cars and prosthetic limbs exist in real life, so too are there examples of these futuristic comics. Some do nothing more than scroll in one direction for a long time. Others contain significantly more bells and whistles by incorporating sound and simple animation.
A relatively recent effort is Stevan Živadinović's Hobo Lobo of Hamelin. And by "relatively recent," I mean that it began in 2011 and was updated as recently as September 2013. I actually mentioned this comic when it first came out and had hoped to review it when more became available. It looks like not much progress has been made in the intervening two-and-a-half years, though. Note to pundits who still lean on the "motion comic" approach to webcomics: if you're doing one by your lonesome, they're a massive time sink.
One Punch Reviews #87: Battlecroc
Battlin' animals seem all the rage these days. And the more inappropriate, the better. Pokemon probably started the rage, what with its rats and lizards and … um … mimes all bread for battlin'. The trend has spread to webcomics as well. 2012, for example, saw the Eisner Award go to Battlepug, which, as its title suggests, is about a pug that battles. That, of course, is part of its humor. Who expects a pug to battle? They look like sad little children, more likely to be begging for handouts than to be bathed in the blood of war.
And cuddle unassuming animals are once again at the forefront in Bryan Fleming's Battlecroc. That's right, thouse friendly long-snouted fellows that Steve Irwin used to pal around with (until his unfortunate demise at the end of the frightening tail of the stingray) are portrayed as unlikely warriors in a world that hoas gone to the birds.
(That's right. Again with the bird-bashing. Hasn't the Angry Birds franchise done enough damage by portraying these feathered hacky-sacks as being in a permanent state of utmost surliness?)
Ultra Mammoth
So sometimes webcomics have side-stories. They can be like Something Positive or Weregeek where they're table top games the characters are playing, or like Johnny Wander or Ctrl+ Alt+ Delete where it's just something else the author wanted to share. Depending on how well they're executed, and the comic in question, it can be entertaining. It works with Johnny Wander (Although I cannot wait for Lucky Penny to end. It's not bad but who puts up a long form graphic novel only two pages a week? Expect a review from me when it finally ends) since they're just one off auto-bio comics and the sides are usually only a few pages long. With Weregeek, however, I found the RPG stuff so boring I quit halfway through my archive trawl of the comic.
Today, we're looking at Ultra-Mammoth, a side story in David Willis' Shortpacked that went for a few week. It was a fan fiction comic about the Transformers show Beast Wars. Specifically, one of the characters made to be sold as a toy, but never featured in the show. In the show, new characters were introduced by having the crew of the Maximal ship, who are the good guys, ejected and placed in orbit in the first episode. Occasionally, a pod falls from orbit and a new character awakens, unless the Predacons, the bad guys, get to it first and reprogram the bot inside.
One Punch Reviews #86: Girls of Monster Paradise
Welcome, boys and ghouls, to another frighteningly fun edition of the Deadcomic Overlook … um, Hotel! Ha ha ha ha ha! This is your ever fiendish host, El Satan, bringing you another chilling review of …
Is it November already?
Well, pilgrim, get ready to feast on another review. This time we'll be looking at a little giblet of a comic called Girls of Monster Paradise by Stephanie Gladden. Will this webcomic leave you feeling thankful, or will it be turkey terrible?
One Punch Reviews #85: Internet Webcomic
There are generic sounding webcomic titles, and there are generic sounding webcomic titles. There's one variety that follows the Perry Bible Fellowship nomenclature and just tosses some random sounding words together. And then there are the ones that look like they'll never show up on any online search engine whatsoever. Such is the chase of Internet Webcomic by Mary Tanner, which, against all odds, is somehow the first result to pop up on Google when "internet webcomic" is typed in the search field. Seriously, I expected this to be buried on page 3 or so.
The Webcomic Overlook #230: Ava's Demon
It's getting to be a familiar site these days to see animators flexing their creative juices in webcomics. Just about 5 years ago, it seemed like a novelty when Chris Sanders, animation director of Disney's Lilo & Stitch, brought his verve to the little electrical screen with Kiskaloo. An actual animator! Deigning to illustrate webcomic! How about that! Man, webcomics aren't just for bored college liberal art students with a poor grasp of MSPaint anymore!
Nowadays, it's a little more commonplace. Katie Rice, the winner of this year's Strip Search, to point out one of the most prominent examples, is herself an animator. I suppose it makes sense. As an animator, I'm thinking that most of the time you're shackled to someone else's brilliant vision… like, say, Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted. Sure, there's some creative leeway there. Maybe suggestions on the character design. Or ideas on fun little background elements. Or animating the letters "S-E-X" in the clouds near Aladdin and Jasmine.
I, too, wanted to be an animator once. Inspired by the Disney Renaissance of the early 90's, I even once bought a book about how to break into the biz. If these animators were anything like I was, I'm guessing a lot got into the field because they wanted to tell stories. Their stories. There's a creative force gnawing inside, waiting for the day when it can be finally unleashed on the world. Something like … a crazed little demon.
Speaking of crazed little demons, that's sort of the premise for Ava's Demon. The webcomic was created by Michelle Czajkowski, who, as I understand it, is an animator at Dreamworks.

Carrie Underwood came out a triple winner at the fan-voted CMT Music Awards on Monday: She won in the categories of video of the year, female video and best video director for her take-no-prisoners hit "Before He Cheats."
In it, the American Idol winner sings of lifting a baseball bat to a cheating boyfriend's "pretty little souped-up 4-wheel drive" – though, in real life, she recently admitted to hoping for a softer approach to romance. ("I'm not saying I want to get married tomorrow," said the 24-year-old, "but I'd like to have someone other than my mom to call when I have good news.")
"It was at the CMT awards last year that I gave my first acceptance speech ever," Underwood said, the Associated Press reports. "It's been such an amazing and blessed two years."
Kenny Chesney took the male video honor for his "You Save Me," while Rascal Flatts received the group video prize for "What Hurts the Most."
Beating Johnny Cash's "God's Gonna Cut You Down" and Jimmy Buffett's "Bama Breeze," Jack Ingram received the newly inaugurated Wide Open Country award, which recognizes artists outside the mainstream.
"Right now I'm flying on the mainstream radar, but for a long time I wasn't," Ingram said.
Teen newcomer Taylor Swift, who is in the 11th grade and is facing final exams on Tuesday, took home breakthrough video of the year honors with her hit "Tim McGraw." She attended the ceremony with her mother.
"This is my first award show ever. I wanted my mom right next to me," Swift said.
Sugarland won duo video of the year for "Want To." "Thank you to the fans," said singer Jennifer Nettles. "We love that you vote for that; it makes it that much more special."
Kris Kristofferson, 70, received the Johnny Cash Visionary Award from the late legend's daughter, Rosanne Cash. "He is an artist with nothing to lose," she said. "He can risk everything because he never compromises his integrity."

If the laws of this land are intended to produce the greatest good for the greatest number of citizens, then certainly justice is not being served when it comes to opiate-based pain pills.
According to readily available data from federal government agencies:
l Heroin addiction has increased by more than 50% in the last decade.
l 80 percent of heroin users started with legally prescribed opioid pain pills.
l Big pharma began aggressive marketing of opioid pain pills in the 1990s
l General physicians receive financial incentives for prescribing opioid pills.
l More Americans die from opioid overdoses than car accidents
l Pain pills cause more overdose deaths than heroin and cocaine combined.
l Oxycodone prescriptions increased 886% since 1997.
On Feb. 27, Ohio's Attorney General and former U.S. Sen.Mike DeWine graciously held a town hall-style meeting in Warren to assuage area residents' growing concerns over the statewide epidemic of heroin abuse. However, DeWine's closing remarks did little to disguise his meeting's intended therapeutic purpose, "Well, we didn't expect to have all of the answers here today. It's not easy. If it was that easy it would have already been done."
Truly, it isn't always easy to do the right thing, especially when the opioid pain pill industry has recently grown into a $13 billion annual juggernaut, but we have no morally acceptable alternative. Please write to your state and federal representatives admonishing them to write tougher laws regulating opioid pain pills.
Ironically by the end of the meeting nobody had mentioned changing our laws to drastically limit over-prescribing the most dangerous drugs on the market in spite of an obvious conflict of interest between our healthcare system's hippocratic oath and pocketbook.
It is unconscionable, and therefore it should be illegal, for any physician's expert medical opinion to be whored and seduced by pharmaceutical companies with lavish junkets to resorts or lucrative training "stipends." Therefore, it wouldn't be that hard to turn this spigot off, would it?
At the meeting in February, I stood up and very loudly made the above points known. I guess I was a little too passionate because I offended an elderly gentleman suffering from severe arthritis. He suggested I was trying to kill him because he couldn't live without his pain pills. I promised him "Nobody wants to keep medicine from the relatively few people who honestly need it."
But considering that America uses 80 percent of the world's opioid pain medicine and makes up only 5 percent of the world's population ... our health care advocates have obviously abandoned their primary cause to advocate on behalf of their bank accounts!
A local addiction expert from Trumbull Addiction and Rehabilitation Services, Sharon Norman, told me, "You don't have a clue what addiction is about." She adamantly claimed "laws can never make addiction go away." We had a spirited discussion before I admitted I have a lot to learn and asked her to please teach me what is at the heart of addiction.
Sharon explained "the heart of addiction is the lack of self love" and continued, "We need to teach parents and children to accept themselves as they are before it's too late." Interestingly, the more she explained it, the more my spirit discerned the empty heart of addiction ...
America's addiction problem stems from our society's spiritual confusion of what constitutes self-love in the first place. We have all been brainwashed by an ever-rising perennial flood of consumer advertisements that deceive us into believing "it's all about me.' Addiction is a reality check exposing the mindless lusts of our flesh to be the exact opposite of self-love. Besides, our most meaningful life experiences are always selflessly shared.
True self-love means getting in touch with your incorruptible soul by selflessly communing with our Creator through acts of brotherly love. First, the soul must transcend the body. Common sense even tells us true love requires much more than your flesh.
This brings up the greatest irony of our nation's opiate-based disaster. All of the suffering and loss caused by our collective attempt to avoid pain and suffering ultimately gives us a chance to show our love, one for another. For where there is great pain and loss there can also be great compassion and many opportunities for forgiveness. After all, when this life is said and done, every tear we shed out of our hearts will be worth far more than all of big pharma's billions and this nations's earthly laws.
Maybe it's not as difficult as the bean-counting politicians are making it seem.
"To your strongest convictions add morality, wisdom, self-control, perseverance, brotherly love, and compassion. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep your soul from meaninglessness in your walk with God." (Herm's translation) 2 Peter 1: 5-8.

The tight pants syndrome that I first observed some 15 years ago varies from the syndrome described by Bessa1 in the June 14, 1993, issue of the Archives.
The patients presented complaining of groin pain and bilateral testicular pain. Examination, urinalysis, and urological referrals failed to demonstrate the cause of the pain until it was appreciated that the then current change in men's fashions included the slim look with removal of pleats of trousers and narrowing of the width of pants.
The diagnostic pearl consisted of the patient informing the physician that symptoms were exacerbated in the sitting position, particularly at athletic events where one could not extend his legs.
Fortunately, the condition has become rare in the last 5 years, with the return of the Italian look in men's clothing where the trousers are now wide and include several pleats. Thus, the condition has been alleviated by the

FAU Harbor Branch Launches 'Wild Dolphins' iPad App to Inform, Empower Those Inspired by Dolphins
BOCA RATON, FL (September 21, 2011) – Florida Atlantic University's Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, which contributed to the rescue and initial care of Winter the bottlenose dolphin, has created an iPad application that provides an inside look at Winter's story, background information on wild dolphin research and rescue, and ways that the public can help protect wild dolphins.
Winter's story will be told in theaters nationwide in the upcoming Warner Bros. movie, "Dolphin Tale." Caught in a crab trap, Winter eventually lost her tail fluke and was transferred by Harbor Branch personnel to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Clearwater for care. Winter soon became the first bottlenose dolphin to be fitted with a prosthetic replacement. Successfully using the prosthesis as her tail fluke, Winter was able to regain propulsion as she swam.
"'Dolphin Tale' tells a story of how one person can make a difference in the lives of others, both marine mammal and human," said Steve McCulloch, manager of the FAU Harbor Branch Marine Mammal Research and Conservation Program. "The message of the 'Wild Dolphins' iPad app is the same. Our dolphin research and rescue work depends almost entirely on public contributions, and this app makes it easy for people to donate."
The multimedia app includes several interactive components and games that allow users to explore a range of dolphin topics, including health and anatomy, threats they face in the wild and areas of research. Interview features provide perspectives from people who helped rescue and provided care for Winter.
Support opportunities contained in the app include a simple donation mechanism, a merchandise store, and for Florida residents, a direct link for purchase of the Protect Wild Dolphins specialty license plate that helps fund Harbor Branch marine mammal work.
The "Wild Dolphins" app is free for a limited time at www.wilddolphinsapp.com and is available for download at the iTunes App Store. For more information, contact Stephen McCulloch at 772-234-0070 or email@example.com.

NOTE TO TEACHERSABOUT LUCY ROSELucy Rose is very unique, except she'd be the first to tell you that is not the right thing to say because you either are unique or not but you can't be very unique–though if someone would qualify Lucy Rose would be it. First, there's Lucy Rose's fashion sense. She likes color–pink, orange, yellow, green it all looks good on her, especially on the same day. Plus, she likes words. Lucy Rose collects palindromes and words that knock her colorful socks off. But Lucy Rose is worried about some things too, like the fact that her parents are separated and how she lives in Washington, D.C., 500 miles away from her dad and old friends. Plus it's not easy being the new girl or trying to make new friends, but Lucy Rose is a girl that will face the challenge with her red boots on!
ABOUT THIS BOOKIt is summer and Lucy Rose is trying to fill her days by making a lanyard keychain and solving her grandfather's problem with squirrels. But there's an even bigger problem that goes by the name of Ashley, the new girl who is so snarky! Plus, Lucy Rose is trying to stop her parents from deciding on a divorce. That is a whole lot of problems for one girl in one summer but Lucy Rose will give it her all!Themes: Family & RelationshipsFriendship • Growing UpEmotions & Feelings • Humor • SchoolGrades 3–5
ABOUT THIS AUTHORHere's the thing about Katy Kelly: If you look at Lucy Rose's life and then look at Katy's, you'll see that in some ways they're very similar. Katy grew up on Capitol Hill and had a dog named Gumbo. Her parents are very much like Madam and Pop . . . and she's an original thinker, at least according to her dad. Now working as a writer, Katy Kelly has worked as a reporter for People magazine, a feature writer for the Life section of USA Today, and was a senior editor at US News & World Report. She comes from a family of writers. Katy's mom, Marguerite Kelly, is the author of The Mother's Almanac and the syndicated column, The Family Almanac. Her father, Tom, wrote for the long-gone Washington Daily News and her brother, Michael, was a syndicated columnist and the editor of the Atlantic Monthly. Her sister, Meg Kelly, is an Emmy Award-winning television writer. Katy, her husband, and their daughters, Emily and Marguerite, now live in Washington, D.C.
SUGGESTED ACTIVITIESPRE-READING ACTIVITYAsk the class: What activities do you most like to do in the summer? Do you ever get bored in the summer?COMPREHENSIONEncourage students to complete these activities as they read:• Fill out the chart on the next page about the characters from Lucy Rose: Big on Plans.• As you read, make a list of the words that are new to you. Then try to use them as you are speaking that day or even in a sentence that you write. Make a chart where you rate the words in these categories: never heard it, sounds familiar, could give a definition, could use in a sentence.• Lucy Rose, Melonhead, and Jonique are trying to solve Madam and Pop's ultimate squirrel problem in the apricot tree. As you read, place a sticky note over the cause and effects of this adventure. Remember that everything that has an action has a reaction. Discuss the results as a class.POST-READING ACTIVITIES• Create a Venn diagram that compares Ashley to Lucy Rose. What (if anything) do they have in common? How are they different? • Have students keep a journal inspired by Lucy Rose's journal. They should record at least one entry for each day. Remind them to not only describe what they did (though that's a nice start!) but what they think, feel, remember, and wonder, too!

Road tax
I have an aunt who lives in Belvedere and is 88. She retired from Clearwater Finishing Plant and can't afford $5 more road tax. She needs to have a vote on Project Jackson.
Homeland problems
This country has enough problems instead of worrying about Syria and Egypt. Obama shouldn't have to cut his vacation short.
Miley Cyrus
Everywhere I look on the Internet, Miley Cyrus and her twerking are being condemned. However, the article in the paper gave a glowing report of her vulgar dancing. I don't get it.
Dogs at Aiken's Makin'
I would like to see no dogs allowed at Aiken's Makin'. Most of us would rather not see dogs there.
The Obama administration is spending $680 million of our tax dollars for a hard sell on Obamacare. If it was such a popular concept and you believed all the promises and lies, why would it be necessary for the "down your throat" ad push? If it were such a great deal, why does Congress exempt themselves and their staffs? If it such a wonderful plan, why does Obama exempt himself?
Project Jackson
The School Board has not given away any tax money by approving the Project Jackson TIF in North Augusta. It is like an investment on their part, with a goal of obtaining future tax revenue for the schools. Let's keep the focus on the real questions: Should the city build a baseball stadium in the first place, and if so, should they build it in this particular location?
EMS fix
I think County Council needs to start at the top to fix the mess that's going on at EMS.
Aiken's Makin'
It's a shame that local people can't get into Aiken's Makin'. It started out as a showcase for local talent, but they are closing them out in favor of out-of-towners.
Animal control
The people who purchase the $800 dogs are not the problem. The problem is people who leave their dogs and don't take care of them. If everyone had to pay such a price for his or her animal, he or she would be less likely to abandon them.
Aiken County schools
The state recently graded the Aiken County schools a C. All of the administrators had excuses as to why this happened, but they want more money. They need to strip away the layers of beauracracy.

Dear Sports-Watching, Weekend-Golfing Dad: Do You Feel Parent Guilt?Buzz Bishop
I'm selfish, and I suffer from guilt.
It's an odd combination because I want to do things for me, but feel angst about doing it, so I don't do it, and then I am jealous of those who do. It's a vicious circle.
I would love to go golfing every weekend like I did before I had kids, but I can't because I feel guilt about not taking that weekend time to spend with my children.
So instead of hitting 18 last weekend, I took my kids to the fair (left). This weekend, I'm taking my oldest camping and I will spend part of the 4 hour drive to the campsite wondering how other dads do it. How do you sit on the couch every weekend and watch 3 football games, 5 hours of golf, NASCAR, and a baseball double header? Where are your kids?
How do you golf on the weekends? If you get anything other than a pre-7 AM tee time, you're looking at 8+ hours away from the house when you factor commute, round of golf, and time on the 19th green.
How do you do after work drinks? If you have an office job, chances are you're leaving the house before 7 to get to your desk by 8. When you punch the clock at 5, you're probably not home til 6. Spend anytime "socializing with clients" after your work is done and you're not home until the kids are in bed.
I have friends who have this happen on a weekly basis, and I wonder if parent guilt ever factors in to the equation. This freewheeling dad that I know is part of a family where the mom stays at home, while the dad works. And then the dad needs to entertain clients, unwind, have some "me time," etc. So that means business trips, golf outings, and cocktails after work.
My wife and I both work, so when it comes to out-of-office time, I'm trying to spend time with my kids because during the day they're at school or with a nanny, not with family. So I'm curious to know if the trend of a "modern, engaged dad" is a product of two income families. We need to split the kid duties because both parents are frazzled with work and trying to find "me time" on top of it.
My theory (which could be out to lunch) is the stay at home spouse does such a good job "running their business" that the working spouse doesn't want to interfere and screw things up, so they tend to not be as involved. They can then focus on things they want to do, as opposed to home responsibilities safe in the knowledge the kids are spending time with family.
Am I jealous? Do I wish I could golf every Sunday, play poker on Tuesday, and watch golf all day Sunday? Yup. But things change when you have kids, sacrifices are made, and my personal itinerary has had to be adjusts.
So, sports-watching, weekend-golfing, after-work-drinking dad, how do you do it?

UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS -- Tulane needed a big defensive stop late and a last-minute miracle.
It got neither Saturday, as SMU rallied from a one-point deficit for a 26-21 win over the Green Wave at breezy Ford Stadium.
Tulane closed the season 3-9, 1-7 in Conference USA.
"They made a few more plays than us at the end, and that's what got us, " Tulane Coach Bob Toledo said after his team's eighth consecutive conference road loss.
Tulane scored the go-ahead touchdown with 10:06 to play on Andre Anderson's 1-yard sprint off left tackle before the Mustangs began their winning drive.
SMU's Shawnbrey McNeal scored his second touchdown of the day on a 4-yard run to make the Mustangs (7-5, 6-2) eligible for their first bowl game since 1984.
It was the third consecutive defeat for the Green Wave, which lost six of seven to close the season.
"I never thought it would be November, and we'd still be looking for our fourth win, " Tulane linebacker Travis Burks said.
After taking a 21-20 lead, Burks and the Green Wave defense allowed a nine-play, 68-yard drive, with McNeal doing the bulk of the damage. The transfer running back from Miami had five carries in a row, including a 21-yard run to the Tulane 20.
McNeal's 4-yard touchdown run with 5:23 remaining four plays later turned out to be the difference. Tulane committed three penalties on its next possession after driving to the SMU 47-yard line.
The biggest flag came after Jeremy Williams caught a pass on third-and-8 for an apparent first down. But Williams was penalized for offensive pass interference, and the Green Wave drive stalled when Ryan Griffin's deep pass for Williams on fourth-and-22 from his 34-yard line fell incomplete with 11 seconds to play.
"We had more than enough time to go down and score, " said Griffin, who threw for 216 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 18-of-26 passing. "That was totally on me."
Griffin played the second half with a sore thumb, injured when he hit his hand on an SMU helmet on a first-half pass.
It was the theme of the day for the Green Wave, which lost starting cornerback Phillip Davis to a leg injury on the first play, and fullback Anthony Duplessis, who left midway through the second quarter with an ankle injury and did not return.
"We had a bunch of guys get hurt, " said Toledo, who brought 19 freshmen on the trip. "We were playing with four freshmen DBs and two freshmen linebackers most of the second half."
After tying the score at 7 on its opening possession, Tulane fell behind 17-7 at the half.
SMU took the opening kickoff and drove 80 yards in 11 plays, taking a 7-0 lead on McNeal's 2-yard run. The score came one play after quarterback Kyle Padron found Emmanuel Sanders behind the Tulane secondary for a 30-yard gain on fourth-and-4.
The Green Wave answered, driving 68 yards and tying the score with a 5-yard toss from Griffin to Williams. Griffin came out sharp, hitting all four passes on the drive, and Tulane got a key 7-yard run from Anderson out of the Wildcat formation at the SMU 23-yard line.
Matt Szymanski's 31-yard field goal gave SMU a 10-7 lead, and Tulane punted on its next three possessions. In between, Padron hit Sanders for a 75-yard pass to set up a 3-yard plunge by fullback Zach Line for a 17-7 lead with 2:57 remaining before the half.
SMU could have had more, but Szymanski pushed a 31-yard field-goal attempt wide right as the first-half clock expired.
Tulane came out firing in the second half. Griffin and Williams connected on a 46-yard touchdown pass on the second play of the third quarter to pull the Green Wave to 17-14. Williams ended the day with five catches for 74 yards and two touchdowns.
Szymanski kicked a 37-yard field goal late in the third quarter to make the score 20-14 before the momentum swung in Tulane's favor. SMU Coach June Jones opted for a 58-yard field-goal attempt with a stiff breeze at Szymanski's back. The kick was long enough, but was wide to the left.
"It was a gutsy call by their coach, " Griffin explained. "It gave us great field position, because we didn't have good field position all day."
Tulane began the drive at its 41 and Griffin hit tight end Brock Sanders for 41 yards on first down. Seven plays later, Anderson scored from the 1 to give the Green Wave its first lead of the day at 21-20.
"After we scored we felt like we could get the ball back and run the clock out, " said Anderson, who carried 27 times for 105 yards, giving him 1,016 yards on the season. He is the fourth player in Tulane history to rush for 1,000 yards. "But they went down and scored, and we had to come back out and score."
SMU's turnaround from 1-11 to 7-5 is the biggest improvement in college football this season.
"Coming in when we were at the bottom and being a part of the rise is a great feeling, " said McNeal, who led all rushers with 147 yards on 26 carries. "It's been a great road and it's not over yet."
For Tulane, the loss ended its seventh straight losing season since going 8-5 in 2002.
"I'm disappointed we didn't win more football games, " Toledo said. "I'm disappointed we didn't win for the seniors. I think we made some inroads."

Hello to all in the Forum! I have been an UI/UX designer for two years in Germany. I am now based in London studying Computing and Social Media.
For my own research practice I wanted to start a discussion on the conceptual models, current ideas regarding the design of 'platforms' vs. 'tools' for users or for social media.
Are these concepts changing? Think about this also in terms of desktop computers, or mobile devices..
Hi all, I am working for designing of UIs for applications across wide range of Mobile devices and all major platforms - iOS, Blackberry, Android, Microsoft. In most cases, there is a need to deliver an application Interface design across all devices and platforms, in such scenario - can anybody suggest how to maintain the consistency of interaction, visual design and interface usability across all devices and platforms?

Unemployment is down, shopping is up - and regardless of the calendar, the Memorial Day weekend says it's officially summer.
Life is good again.
At least compared to this time last year, when General Motors Corp. was heading into its government-packaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy on June 1, both the GM Lordstown Complex and the Severstal Warren steel mill were shut down and a 16.5 percent jobless rate made Warren the state's worst city in which to find work.
Aside from a financial meltdown in Greece and a military showdown on the other side of the world in Korea, it's understandable if Americans feel they have some serious shopping ground to make up after last year.
That's where things get dicey.
Think of this as a reset, a do-over, a second chance to do it right.
It's hard to resist the excitement we feel from whipping out the checkbook or credit card to buy some bling-bling, the latest computer or gas grill.
There may be a way both to help corral our urge to splurge and do some long-lasting good for the country at the same time.
Only buy American-made products as much as possible.
This isn't a ''My American-made product - good or bad!'' type shill. I know if people only bought American, we'd be watching "Dancing with the Stars" on a 12-inch black-and-white TV set instead of a near-movie theater-size big screen.
Instead, the idea is to get ''the biggest bang for your buck,'' and at the same time, help workers who could be your neighbors - or yourself.
I took the first hesitant step on my own American-made journey last week when I researched work boots. True, I don't need steel-toed boots for writing on a computer, but work boots were all I could find.
The American boots cost $216, which seemed a bit expensive until I saw boots made overseas also costing $216.
This seems like a no-brainer to me. Buying the American-made boots means jobs for people in this country, people who will pay taxes for their schools and community, people who will go to a restaurant, movie theater or something else to provide work for other people.
Plus, I have to wonder about how greedy is the company selling the foreign-made boots for the same amount as American-made. The company probably isn't paying American wages and benefits. You'd think it could price its boots less than the American competition.
I'm advocating buying American, but not blindly. Don't buy the American product if it offers less, has a bad quality reputation or costs exorbitantly more than the foreign product.
If it's within a reasonable price of the foreign product, even 10 percent to 15 percent more, remember that extra money is going to keep someone working in this country and paying taxes, raising a family and supporting a school. It'll also save tax dollars by keeping people off unemployment, food stamps and other government programs that cost all of us tax dollars in the long run.
If anyone has a story how they decided to buy American instead of foreign, e-mail me about it. I know it's hard to find American products, but we have to start somewhere, sometime. We didn't get into this bind overnight; it'll take a lot of effort to get us out of it.
Remember, no blind buying just because it's American. It has to be a decision-making process that's feasible for the general consumer.
This is our second chance at being smart shoppers - let's not waste it.

GOSHEN TOWNSHIP- Despite record crowds, the Goshen Police District handled a relatively quiet weekend at this year's Steel Valley Super Nationals.
Police Chief Steve McDaniel said the department handled one crash and made no arrests for driving intoxicated during the three-day annual event at the Quaker City Motorsports Park on state Route 165.
"It was epic, the best year the drag strip has had [for the Super Nationals]," he said. "Friday and Saturday were record days at the event; the concerts had maximum crowds. But it was a pretty quiet weekend."
In addition to the crash, in which the driver was cited for failure to control, officers made an arrest for driving under suspension, 27 citations for speed and five citations for seatbelt violation. Officers also handled reports at the park of a stolen television, a possible stolen car and a gate damaged when a truck drove through it, as well as a person disorderly by intoxication who had to be transported to the Salem Community Hospital.
McDaniel said the department had four officers at the park each day, as well as two OVI units in the area. He said the department also had a traffic unit available each day, but that delays were minimum and the traffic flowed easily.
"We're very pleased how well it went this year," McDaniel said, "and we're ready for next year."
