opened January 29, 1929

As a teenager, I viewed Poole's Pelican Theater as the dowager empress of movie theaters in Klamath Falls. However in its early years, well-dressed patrons of the arts attended symphonies, ballets, and stage productions, while most everyone in town and surrounding area flocked to see silent movies and then the "talkies." The old theater was also the venue for the Saturday morning kiddie talent show, which was followed by a matinee of cartoons and westerns. On June 23, 1928, the Poole's installed a Whurlitzer theater organ, an opus 1897 style 202 special, for the silent movies that were still being shown at the time of its opening. However by the early 1930s the "talkies" were regular fare and there was no longer a need for the Whurlitzer theater organ. The manufacturer repossessed the Whurlitzer and rebuilt it in 1937 for Chicago's Aragon ballroom.
The theater doors opened in 1929, which was about the time my mother told of going to the Pelican theater for Saturday talent shows and matinees. By 1934, the Pelican Theater was the special date night spot for my parents. The opulent ivory interior with its gold leaf decorations, pillars, and deep wine-red carpet made a movie date seem more than special. The following picture of the inside of the theater brought back my mother's old memories of opulence and the feeling of a very special occasion when my father took her to a movie at the Pelican.

On August 15, 1932,my future father-in-law, silver Medalist Ralph Hill, was greeted by over a 1,000 people who lined the streets to greet his return from the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. My future-mother-in-law, Lois Irene Dixon, who was barely 17 years old, proudly rode at his side in the open car through the streets of Klamath Falls. Later, even more people showed up at the Pelican Theater for the town's official welcome home for it's Olympic hero. The theater must have been a packed house as the Pelican seated 1,590. The throng of people waiting to get into the theater for Hill's welcome home must have looked much like the street-lined picture shown below.

As a young girl, I remember being so very impressed with the wine-red carpets and chairs, the heavy red and gold drapery, and the gold-leaf decorations. However, one of the most vivid memories stemmed from a date night movie with Ric. We were still in high school at the time and had gone to many movies together, some even at the Pelican, but this night was special. I remember taking great care in dressing. First was brushed gabradine skirt, a pencil-straight skirt with an off-center slit clear to the knee (the slit must have been all of 4 inches long). Then I topped it with a long-sleeved silky blouse and a plush tiger-print vest and matching tam. I thought the vest and tam my mother made for me were very cool -- and I still have them stuck away in some drawer.
I was full of anticipation as I watched Ric's green Chevy come over Mt.Laki Cemetery hill and across the flat, probably about five or six miles from our house. However, when he pulled off of the blacktop and up the hill to our house, I sauntered nonchalantly across the living room and kitchen to open the breezeway door for Ric. After a quick greeting and an obligatory nod and commitment to my mother that he would have me home by 11 o'clock, Ric handed me into his Chevy and we were off to the movies.
My memory bank tells me it was a special day, perhaps Valentine's Day, my birthday, or some other special teenage day of the 50s. Going to the movies at the Pelican was always a treat, but this night Ric surprised me by buying loge seat tickets which were more than double the price of regular seats. Ric was really pulling out all the stops in his effort to surprise and impress me. The usher, dressed in a wine-red uniform with gold trim, led us us the wide curved staircase, her red-muted flashlight carefully pointed towards the floor. She unhooked the velvet rope to the entrance to the loge seats and showed us to our seats. I sunk into a plush red velvet upholstered seat beside Ric and enjoyed the decadence of the loge seating -- at least it was decadent to this country girl. Not every movie date at the Pelican qualified for loge seating, but a girl knew she was special when her date splurged on loge seating -- at least in my circle of friends.

All through the 1950s the Pelican theater, though now a bit shabby and showing her age, was still the venue for most of the symphonies, ballet troupes, and stage productions that came to Klamath Falls. During these years, I remember taking my young daughters to the holiday production of the Nutcracker, as well as attending ballets and international cultural productions with my family. However, by 1960, the powers-that-be in Klamath Falls decided that a bank parking lot would be more beneficial to the "growing" city. The Klamath Falls Herald & News headline of February 20,1961, noted that the walls of the Pelican Theater came tumbling down. My grande dame of theaters lay victim to "progress"and a bank parking lot.

Joe Blanton loses his first game as a Phil as the Nationals gain their first win of the year as they defeat the Phils, 8-2.
The Phillies' Joe Blanton loses his first start since being traded to the Phils, as he and the relief corps were the victims of several home runs launched by the Nationals as the Phils fall to the Nationals, 8-2.
The Nationals took a quick 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first as Adam Dunn hit a three-run home run, his third home run of the season, knocking in both Nick Johnson and Ryan Zimmerman, who had both earlier singled, while the two had moved up to third and second base respectively on Zimmerman's single, as Pedro Feliz committed a catch error on the play. Those would turn out to be the only runs that Joe Blanton would give up as he proceeded to pitch the Phillies' starters first quality start as he kept the Nationals scoreless for the next five innings. The Phillies, meantime, proceeded to cut down the Nats' lead. They first made it 3-1 in the fourth as Raul Ibanez, with two men outs, singled in Chase Utley, who had earlier singled and had moved over to second base on Ryan Howard's ground out to first. The Phils then cut the lead down to 3-2 in the fifth as Jimmy Rollins hit a sacrifice fly, knocking in Lou Marson, who had earlier doubled and had moved over to third on Blanton's sacrifice bunt. But, the bullpen, this time, would be unable to keep the game close. In the seventh, Chad Durbin gave up a lead-off, solo home run to Josh Willingham, Willingham's first home run of the year, making it 4-2 Nats. Then in the eighth, Jack Taschner would give up four runs to the Natonals. Elijah Dukes started things off by hitting a lead-off, solo home run, his second hme run of the season, increasing the Nationals' lead to 5-2. Three batters later, Alberto Gonzalez made it 6-2 Nationals by hitting a solo home run with two outs, his first home run of the year. Two batters later, Anderson Hernandez made it 7-2 Nats with an RBI single, knocking in Roger Bernadina, who had earlier walked and then stole second base. Zimmerman increased the Nationals' lead to 8-2 by bringing home Hernandez, who had moved up to second base on Johnson's walk, while Johnson would move up to second. That would end up being the final score as Joel Hanrahan came in and pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for the Nationals, giving them their first win of the season.
Joe Blanton took the lost, his first since his trade last year to the Phils from the Oakland A's, as he pitched six solid innings, giving up just three runs on eight hits and one walk, while he struck out five. His record is now 0-1 with a still high ERA of 9.00. Chad Durbin pitched two-thirds of an inning, giving up a run on a hit and two walks. Jack Taschner pitched an inning, getting smoked for four runs on four hits and two walks as he struck out two. J.A. Happ pitched two-thirds of an inning, getting out the only man he would face. Shairon Martis picked up the win for the Nationals, as he went six and one-thirds innings, giving up two runs on five hits and two walks, while striking out one. His record is now 1-0 with a 4.82 ERA. Mike Hinckley pitched two-thirds of an inning, giving up no runs or hits. Joe Beimel pitched a 1-2-3 inning, striking out a batter. Joel Hanrahan also pitched a 1-2-3 inning, with a strike out, ending the game for the Nationals.
The Phillies had only five hits in the game, with both Raul Ibanez and Lou Marson collecting two hits. Ibanez, who raised his average to .303, went 2 for 4 with an RBI. Marson, catching in his first game since being called up because of Carlos Ruiz's injury, went two for three, including a double, as he scored a run. Chase Utley had the other Phils' hit, a single, as he went 1 for 3 with a walk, scoring a run, as his average dropped to .393. Jimmy Rollins knocked in the other Phils' run with a sacrifice fly. The Phils other .300 hitters at the moment, Ryan Howard, Jayson Werth and Pedro Feliz saw their batting averages drop as they all took the collar (.313, .313 and .308 respectively).
The Phillies (4-4, 3rd) now come home for a seven-games home stand, starting with a four-games series with the San Diego Padres (7-3, T-1st National League West). The game will be played at Citizens Bank Park and will begin after 7 pm Eastern. The Phillies' starter will be their ace Cole Hamels (0-1, 17.18), who is coming off a rocky start against the Colorado Rockies last friday night. He gave up seven runs on eleven hits and a walk, while striking out only one batter in three and two-thirds innings of work, in the Phils' 10-3 lost. He will be trying to recover from that poor start. The Padres will counter with Chris Young (2-0, 1.38), who is coming off a win against the San Francisco Giants on April 12, where he pitched seven strong innings, giving up no runs on four hits, while striking out seven, in the Padres' 6-1 win. He will be looking to increase his record to 3-0 at the Phillies' expense. The Phillies will come home, preparing several tributes in the memory of the late Harry Kalas, while trying to see if they can get back onto the winning track.

I will tell you this, when I saw that score on the Jumbotron at the game, I did not believe it.
Mostly because I knew Blanton was pitching that game.
But I guess all good things had to come to an end. Best part, we do not have to hear a story about the Nationals not winning any more.
But I am sorry the Phillies had to take that one on the chin like that.
Rays Renegade
Yeah, all good things must come to an end. I guess that it was better that it ended as early as it did, instead of later in the season. I just wish it wasn't against the Nationals of all teams.
As for the Phils' taking it on the chin, once the pitching staff, especially the starters, stop throwing up gopher balls, they won't be taking it on the chin as much as they are right now.
I know that there are a lot of memorials and special events this weekend for the Phillies' family; I hope that you see lots of wins! God Bless you all!
Thanks. I also hope that the Phils will be doing a lot of scoring against the Padres.

At approximately 6:50 a.m., Goliad County Sheriff's Office Deputy Brandon Gall attempted to pull over the vehicle, which was following a tractor-trailer too closely, according to Gall.
The driver then sped away, crashed through a barbed-wire fence near the Mission Nuestra Senora del Rosario approximately three miles southwest of Goliad.
Gall said the driver, an Hispanic male, was the only person in the vehicle, which was registered out of Kingsville.

When my touring buddies shoot condescending remarks about my inefficient freeheel tendencies, I pretend to acquiesce. I stroke their fragile alpine egos with my agreeance. I might be slower on the skin track and not as aggressive on the descent, but I'm in no hurry to convert to their Dynafited or Fritschied ways. I love tele in all its quasi-soulful, hippy glory. Then Twenty-Two Designs released the AXL, a rugged tele binding with a free pivot mode for touring, and while I failed to silence my friends, I could hang.
The Salt Lake City-based equipment company has issued a voluntary recall of a limited portion of Avalung packs. According to a Black Diamond press relase, the intake tubing may crack under cold temperatures.
"While we have not experienced a single safety issue related to this recall, we are aggressively pursuing the return of all potentially affected units," explains Peter Metcalf, Black Diamond Equipment CEO. "The AvaLung has saved multiple lives over the years and we cannot accept a hint of doubt in its ability to perform when needed."
Imagine if your workplace had a private cat skiing operation. Imagine if that backcountry mecca was just 30 minutes away. The employees at Smith Optics are just so lucky. They often bring athletes out for photo shoots and product testing, but this season, they stepped it up. After working as a terrain park builder at Sun Valley, Pete Columbo came on board to help Smith build a private backcountry park. Gus Kenworthy, Cody Barnhill, and Colter Brehmer were the first skiers to sample the goods. Is there anything better than sunshine, powder, and free cat skiing? We're not sure there is.
My mother loves helmets. Loves them. One of her proudest moment ever came when she was extolling a family friend on the importance of helmets in the lift line. He slipped getting on the chair, hit his un-helmeted head, and got a concussion. Score one for mom. And helmets.
Me, I've always struggled with them, even thought I shouldn't. I know, I get it, my head has billions of dollars of education and orthodontia stuffed into it.
Regardless of whether you're zipping bump lines or dropping cliffs, there's one thing that brings all skiers together. Snacks. And the free, resort-sponsored Nature Valley bars, or the cafeteria oyster crackers and honey combo doesn't cut it unless you're heading in at two for après (not that there's anything wrong with that).
For dawn patrol tours, bell to buzzer pow days, or park hiking session you're going to need something more substantial, like a tupperware full of chili, or, if you've got small pockets, Kate's Tram Bars.

We've been psyched on Scarpa's Mobe since we got a chance to test it last spring. Our testers called it the best boot for people who value downhill performance, but still need to be mobile in their boots, like patrollers and guides. When it's locked into ski mode, if feels like a fixed-cuff boot, but it rolls in to walk mode easily, and it's compatible with all AT bindings, including Dynafits. As an addd bonus for the discerning, granola-eating backcountry skiers out there, it's made with environmental friendly Pebax, which Scarpa is incorporating in a bunch of their boots.
Skis get all the hype, which is understandable considering the number of variables you have to address—rocker, dimensions, graphics that match your outfit—but boots are arguably even more important. You can turn fatty pow skis if you're not locked in to your boots.

The Summer Youth Program consists of the summer activities of the Falls City Youth League and Falls City Public Library. The youth league is for children and youth involved in baseball athletics, and the library's summer reading program is meant to promote a love for reading by providing reading activities for area children.
"For every electrical hook-up we have in town, FELPS will donate a certain amount of money to supervised youth programs, and they asked us to match it," said Mayor Brent Houdmann. "So they'll come in and count how many connections we have in town. Whatever amount they come up with, we'll match that and give it to the Falls City Youth League, which is our baseball league, and to the Falls City Library summer reading program."
The city has annually collaborated with FELPS to donate funds for summer youth programs for about 15 years.

- Abstract
- This chapter reports on the findings of a survey of spatial information systems organisations designed to identify some of the factors that may influence their rate of take-up of high speed, broadband telecommunications networks and their development of integrated image/graphics systems. High speed broadband networks represent, par excellence, an icon of the technology which will underpin the advanced sectors of the information economy. They have as their heritage, earlier telematic services such as telegraph, the public switched telephone network and more recently digital data networks. Where these earlier networks reduced the barriers of geography and time, high speed broadband networks eliminates them. Furthermore, their capabilities (speed, capacity, etc.) confer revolutionary opportunities for developing systems to: (i) overcome current bottlenecks in information transmission (generated by the increasing rates at which digital data is being captured and stored) and maximise opportunities for electronic delivery; (ii) undertake new tasks and applications and define entirely new markets. New high speed telecommunication technologies provide new possibilities in business and organisation. They also create new risks. When to lead and when to follow (and at what distance) become vital business decisions for both private and public sector organisations. Since the early 1980s high speed services have been growing at a consistently higher rate than all data network services considered as a whole. This growth emanates from two sources. One source is via network substitution. Another is via new demand. A particular subset of potential new customers for metropolitan area network (MAN) technology represented the focus for the preliminary analysis. The commonality among the organisations chosen for case study was their graphics/image data as a central component of their work activity. The business sectors chosen for study included: those involved in the development of land information systems (LIS), organisations undertaking significant remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) activity and organisations which employ AM/FM or CAD. The principal information sought in each case study included topics such as business mission, the geography of the organisation's operations, the volume of document generation, current and likely future communications operations. The organisations surveyed are listed in the Appendix to this Chapter.

After rushing for more than 100 yards as a team just three times in the first eight games of the season, the Packers have eclipsed the 100-yard mark in team rushing yards in six of their last seven games. During that stretch, the Packers have averaged 129.9 yards per game on the ground, which ranks seventh in the NFL in that span, behind only Seattle (195.9 yards), Minnesota (193.0), Washington (157.9), Kansas City (152.0), San Francisco (144.7) and Buffalo (129.9).
During that seven-game stretch, which began with a 176-yard effort against the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 4, the Packers have used four primary backs – James Starks, Alex Green, Ryan Grant and DuJuan Harris, with contributions from fullback John Kuhn, versatile Randall Cobb and quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Starks hasn't played since suffering a knee injury Dec. 2 against Minnesota, but Green is expected to return from the concussion that sidelined him last week, and Grant and Harris both were productive while Green was out. While Grant's 20 carries for 89 yards and two touchdowns should lead to more opportunities for him, offensive coordinator Tom Clements said all three will be used.
"I think he had a good game on Sunday," Clements said of Grant. "Just by the luck of the draw he got 20 (carries), DuJuan got eight and Alex didn't play. That's just the way it worked out. We have confidence in all three of the running backs, and if one's hot, like Mike said, he may be featured, but they're all going to get their touches."
If they do, getting to the mystical 25-attempt mark – which may be the magic number that tells McCarthy that success is measured in attempts – usually means victory. Since McCarthy took over as head coach in 2006, the Packers are 56-10 (.848) when they have 25 or more rushing attempts in a game. The Packers have averaged 31.7 rushing attempts per game since Week
9, tied for No. 4 in the league over that span. In its opening eight games, Green Bay averaged 24.4 attempts per game (No. 23 in the NFL).
Next on the docket: Snapping their streak of games without a 100-yard individual rusher. It's been 42 regular-season games since Brandon Jackson ran for 115 yards at Washington on Oct. 10, 2010, although Starks did put up a 123-yard game against Philadelphia in the NFC Wild Card playoffs on Jan. 9, 2011.
Going to Greg: Wide receiver Greg Jennings' days with the Packers may be numbered, as he heads toward offseason unrestricted free agency, but now that' he's healthy after missing eight games (including seven straight) with a lower abdominal muscle tear, quarterback Aaron Rodgers wants to get him more involved in the offense. And, he has to, given what Rodgers is seeing on film.
As I watched the film back, it's amazing how many times he's open. He is an excellent route runner. Not getting the ball all the time, I know, it's got to be frustrating for him know he's open almost every single time," Rodgers said on his weekly radio show on 540 ESPN and ESPNWisconsin.com Thursday. "I've been talking to myself after every game. Like, 'Greg probably needs some more opportunities here.' I mean I had him wide open on a touchdown in the second quarter (against Tennessee) and missed him. Overthrown by a yard or two … a bad throw."
Jennings enters Sunday's regular-season finale having caught only 28 passes for 246 yards and two touchdowns on the season, all career lows by wide margins. Since returning from Nov. 1 surgery, he's caught 16 passes, including a season-high seven against the Titans. With Nelson set to return after missing the past three games with a hamstring injury, Rodgers will now have to figure out how to get Jennings the ball more while re-acclimating Nelson to the offense.
"With those guys, you've just got to get them some opportunities," Rodgers said. "Get them back in the mix, get 'em feeling good and get them a ball early and they'll be fine."
If Cobb doesn't play, Rodgers said the transition offensively shouldn't be that difficult, thanks to Jennings' versatility.
"I think if Randall doesn't play, (it will mean) moving Greg back into the slot and giving him a lot of the plays that he's used to running," Rodgers said. "He's been our slot guy and run a lot of routes from in there. That's the beauty of Greg Jennings, he can be as effective inside as outside and there's hardly and receivers that can do that, so he'll be fine."
All Day: Even though Dom Capers has been on the job for 30 years, and he knows you can't just erase big plays that don't go your way, the Packers defensive coordinator still went there after the Packers' Dec. 2 victory over the Vikings, in which Peterson ran roughshod for 210 yards on 21 carries. Of those yards, 153 came on three runs, during which the Packers' tackling was atrocious – even when grading on the curve that they were trying to corral the best running back in the game.
"If you're off a little bit, it's him. It was our poorest tackling game," Capers said. "Our guys understand that we've got to tackle better (this game). What did he have? He had 18 runs for 50-some yards and three for 150. Those three for 150 comes down to two, three guys missing tackles on him."
The numbers back Capers up. While their missed tackles are down – the team is averaging just 3.8 per game after averaging 6.3 per game in 2011, according to ProFootballFocus.com – the Packers missed a season-high seven tackles in the last meeting, four of them on Peterson. Two misses came from safety Morgan Burnett, who whiffed on both of Peterson's longest runs (82- and 43-yarders) after showing solid improvement as a tackler for most of the year.
"We have to tackle better," veteran defensive tackle Ryan Pickett said. "We watched the film and on his big plays, we missed a lot of tackles. We just have to do a better job of wrapping him up. We had guys in position, and he's a great back. He breaks a lot of tackles. We have to do better gang-tackling. We have to get more than one person to the ball."
Pondering the QB position: As good as Peterson was in the first meeting, the Vikings were doomed by two backbreaking interceptions thrown by quarterback Christian Ponder to Burnett, both of which squelched potential scoring opportunities. Per ProFootballFocus.com, Ponder ranks 37th out of 39 quarterbacks in their grading system, with only two positive grades on the year. Much of his problem has been when faced with pressure, as he's completing only 40 percent of his passes when under duress.
That might explain Capers' approach with him. In his three meetings with Ponder, Capers has dialed up a 65 percent blitz rate, which is more than double the NFL average, and well above the Packers' own average. In those three games, including the Dec. 2 game, Ponder has five interceptions against only three touchdowns and has a 37 percent completion rate when blitzed.
"I've always felt that this is a quarterback-driven league and you've got to find some way to be disruptive on that quarterback. That's our base philosophy is try to stop the run, make the game one-dimensional and try to disrupt the quarterback," Capers said. "Morgan's two interceptions were as big of plays as you can get and they totally changed the momentum of that game around. That's the way these games normally are. You've got to try to somewhere in there make two, three, four plays that change the momentum around. That took two possessions away from them and took points off the board on probably both of them."
After that game, Ponder took the blame for the loss, and he stood by that position when asked earlier in the week about it.
"As a team, we were playing really well in that game and we're up going into the second half and everything. It was tough, but kind of like we have to do this week, I put it behind myself," Ponder said. "I watched the film on Monday and moved on and treat it just like this past week where we watched the film against Houston and moved on. It's behind us and obviously I learned some things from that game. The flight home was not a fun one."
If Capers goes blitz-happy again, one option would be slot corner Casey Hayward, who was sent on a season-high 13 blitzes last week against the Titans, according to ProFootballFocus.com.
Moses makes move: The return of Clay Matthews to the starting lineup two weeks ago was met with much rejoicing, and with good reason. The Packers are a different defense when he is on the field. Not only has Matthews registered three sacks in the two games since he returned from his four-game, hamstring-induced absence, but the run defense has picked up as well. Chicago managed only 83 yards on 23 carries, and Tennessee mustered only 79 yards on 22 attempts.
But one unexpected development upon Matthews' return has been that rookie Dezman Moses' playing time hasn't dropped as much as one might have assumed it would. He certainly played a higher percentage of snaps during Matthews' time on the sideline, but he played 32 of 55 snaps against the Bears and 37 of 60 against the Titans. For comparison, incumbent starter Erik Walden played 26 and 29 snaps, respectively, in those two games.
"I'm trying to get Moses more involved. That's probably the bigger point there," outside linebackers coach Kevin Greene said when asked why Walden's snaps are down. "Every time I put Moses in, good things seem to happen. He's hitting people, he's striking people, he's had some nice pass rushes. I'm wanting to get him more reps in the game. We're in this thing to win and we truly are going to put the best people on the field that give us the best chance of winning that snap and every consecutive snap after that."

Asian-themed hotel proposed in Manchester awaits Act 250August 22,2013By Patrick McArdle
MANCHESTER — About a year after the project got its local permits, the local Act 250 commissioners announced they would host a hearing Sept. 25 on a proposed 80-room hotel with an Asian theme that would be located off of Route 7A.
The project has been described by the applicants, Alpaslan Basdogan and Vermont Turquoise Hospitality, LLC, as a 74,000-square-foot building with a 160-seat restaurant and a spa on about 44 acres of land across the street from Manchester's town offices.
Basdogan owns international wholesale company Asia Minor Carpets, which has its corporate office in Manchester. On Thursday, he referred questions about the application to project manager, Richard Jones.
Jones said he and Basdogan are optimistic the state will approve the proposal.
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have spent 90-odd thousand dollars on it up to this point," he said.
At this point, Jones said the applicant wanted to continue with the process in hopes of getting Act 250 approval and then "see what develops."
The Manchester Development Review Board approved the proposal in August 2012 but the permit issued by the town was appealed a short time later by Carol duPont, of Manchester.
In her appeal, duPont said the town should not have issued a permit because the hotel "is not 'in accord with the policies, purposes or terms of the (town) plan or bylaws of (Manchester).'"
On Thursday, duPont said she didn't want to comment on the Act 250 hearing except to say she was looking forward to attending to find out if there were any changes to the proposal since it had come before the town.
The appeal is still pending before the Vermont Environmental Court. A clerk at the court said Thursday the appeal would not be heard until the Act 250 process is complete.
It's a common practice in Vermont for the Environmental Court to wait until both local and state permits are issued so any appeals can be consolidated and heard at the same time.
Jones said he knew the proposed hotel had a lot of supporters in Manchester but said he also knew that there were a lot of local people who wanted to at least have a say in the project. He said the applicant was committed to the project.
"We know that appeals scare some people off. I assure you, we're not scared off. We're eager to move forward with this project," he said.
In a plan Basdogan submitted to the town, he said the hotel was specifically designed to offer an experience that is common to hotels in Europe and the Mediterranean. By bringing that kind of hotel to the town and Vermont, Basdogan said he hopes to attract Europeans and other new visitors to Manchester.
If approved, the hotel would be built on what is now a largely empty parcel of land known locally as the former Hosley farm.
Other features proposed for the hotel include an outdoor pool and an organic farm on-site, which would grow food used by the restaurant.
The Act 250 commissioners will visit the site at 9 a.m. on Sept. 25. The hearing will begin, at 9:30 a.m. at Manchester's town offices.

The compliments must go out to local businesses which, not only during the holiday, but in other times of the year, do what they can to spread and enhance public spirit.
I have lived in enough places to know that, not only Clovis, but every town, has its detractors, and that many or even most of them are simply people who would find fault anywhere they lived.
It is not too late to stop by Taco Box and listen/view the light show happening through New Year's Eve. The west side of the building, covered with music coordinated lights, involves turning in to a certain FM frequency and simply allowing yourself to enter the world created for you.
Like the pyrotechnics at the Smoke on the Water, which Taco Box also underwrites heavily, it's probably a moot point to try to figure out the technology, at least if you are like me. Just go, and be happy it's there.
It is too late to celebrate Christmas at the zoo, light up nights that were held the third week of December. This event gets perceptibly better every year, having grown from its beginnings just a few years ago into quite a journey of sight and sound.
I was aware this year of about five golf-type carts parked at the gate, with an attendant, and can only surmise that he was there to give a ride to anyone who wanted to tour the zoo but isn't able to do so on foot. Very thoughtful.
However, it is never too late to celebrate the zoo itself, which is so far ahead of the zoo I remember when I first moved here almost 15 years ago. Nights at the zoo also present great teachable moments, as I was able to explain to my grandson why the hyena (which I adore), the owl, and the bobcats were active at night. And we learned the new word "nocturnal."
CATS made a great contribution to the holiday of many, by scheduling tours of the town to view peoples' home light displays. I do not have personal knowledge of this, from the riding end, but am grateful that it existed for those who might find driving at night difficult, or just want some company with whom to enjoy lights.
I do have knowledge from the other end, though, as while we are not in the House Beautiful category, we do spend two and a half days or so every year building our light display, so its nothing to be ashamed of. Knowing the CATS tours were running gave me a solid deadline for getting everything up and lit, so folks could enjoy it.
(The Scrooge award for the year, by the way, goes out to the person who stole my penguins from the front yard. You probably stole select items from other yards too, and my holiday wish for you is that they all shorted out your fuses the minute you plugged them in.)
Keeping Clovis beautiful, or active, or energetic, as I have said so many times, is not a matter of waiting for "them" to do it; "they" don't exist. It is us.
Applause to businesses, usually the locally owned and operated, who realize this and motivate it.

The 'Big Lie' Strategy: Religious Right Stokes False Fears of Religious Persecution
Table of Contents
- Introduction
- Right-Wing Echo Chamber in Action
- Ratcheting Up the Religious Persecution Rhetoric
- Tax Dollars for Discrimination?
- Method to the Madness
- Challenging False Witness
On Thursday, February 5, the U.S. Senate took up an amendment introduced by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) [1]to strip church-state protections from the stimulus bill. The amendment failed [2]43 to 54 after DeMint repeated the inflammatory claims he had been making all week and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) swiftly and effectively refuted them.
The creation of a phony crisis that DeMint's amendment was supposed to solve is a case study of Religious Right leaders' strategic use of false alarms about threats to religious liberty - and of the willingness of right-wing media and elected officials to play along. Watch now [3], in the wake of the amendment's defeat, for Religious Right leaders to use the vote as "evidence" that Democrats are hostile to people of faith and to try to undermine support from religious Americans for the new administration.
Wildly alarmist rhetoric from DeMint and right-wing leaders accusing the Obama administration and congressional Democrats of hostility to faith and public prayer was especially ridiculous coming in the week that President Obama spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast and announced the creation of a multifaith advisory panel for his office of faith based and community initiatives. But stoking fears about anti-Christian "persecution" and claiming that liberal politicians are out to destroy religious liberty is a fundraising and organizing tactic that the Religious Right cannot seem to give up.
Here's how it played out, as documented in near-real time by People For the American Way's RightWingWatch.org [4].
Right-Wing Echo Chamber in Action
On Tuesday, the American Center for Law and Justice, created by Pat Robertson to be the Religious Right's answer to the American Civil Liberties Union, announced [5] that it had "discovered" a provision in the stimulus bill that "unfairly targets religious activity at universities and colleges that receive federal stimulus funds."
In fact, the provision "discovered" by the ACLJ has been included in legislation for decades, and has been upheld by the Supreme Court. It prevents federal funds from being used to construct buildings, like chapels, designed for religious worship or sectarian instruction. It's perfectly in keeping with the spirit of the First Amendment and prevents taxpayer dollars from being used to take sides on religion by funding some groups' worship facilities.
But the chance to stir up fears of anti-Christian persecution by the new administration and Congress proved too tempting to pass up. The "Christian Post" ran with the story [6] on Tuesday, quoting the ACLJ's Sekulow demanding that the "discriminatory measure" be removed from the bill. And we were off to the races.
Ratcheting Up the Religious Persecution Rhetoric
The next day [7], Sen. Jim DeMint told CBN's David Brody that "Democrats are looking for every opportunity to purge faith and prayer from the public square." Did DeMint miss the inauguration?
Fox News also chimed in [8] on Wednesday, with a story that covered the bases: The headline announced that "Conservative Groups Declare Obama's Stimulus Bill a War on Prayer," while the opening line of the story attributed the "war on prayer" to "Democrats in Congress."
Also jumping into the fray [9] were the Traditional Values Coalition, the Liberty Counsel, and the Family Research Council [10].
"Religious activity is already scarce at most of our colleges, the Obama people want to make sure it is extinct," complained [11] the TVC's Andrea Lafferty. Which "Obama people" she has in mind is not clear, but purging religion from college campuses does not seem a likely priority for Joshua DuBois, the former pastor named to oversee White House faith outreach.
The Liberty Counsel's Mathew Staver took the claim even further [12], saying that the provision "will lead to the banning of all religious activity from all public facilities" and snarking that "Apparently, President Obama's idea of faith-based initiatives is to remove faith from all initiatives."
And the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins, reportedly considering a run for the U.S. Senate, called for [13] "Hammering Out Dems' Anti-Faith Building Provision," which he said would encourage colleges and universities to discourage religious activity on campus out of fear of losing out on federal dollars.
Tax Dollars for Discrimination?
The ACLJ's Jay Sekulow insisted that the provision is part of a "troubling pattern regarding the use of federal taxpayer dollars" and declared [14], "We know that the American people don't want their tax dollars used for discriminatory measures." Of course, Sekulow would not apply that principle to religious groups or institutions using federal dollars to discriminate in hiring people who provide social services or to those that proselytize and require beneficiaries to adhere to their religious tenants. Religious Right groups are defending that kind of federally funded discrimination, which President Obama opposed as a candidate and which the Justice Department has now been tasked with reviewing.
Method to the Madness
To any serious observer, there is no credibility to claims that the Obama administration and the Democratic congressional leadership are out to silence people of faith or encourage colleges to squelch students' religious expression. Yet claims of "religious persecution" and the "criminalization of Christianity" persist as a favored Religious Right strategy across a range of issues, including opposition to anti-discrimination laws and hate crimes provisions.
Claims that the nation's leaders are hostile to Christianity may help Religious Right leaders raise money, and may generate political action from individuals who fear that their faith and freedom are being threatened, but they also poison the well of public discourse and may diminish many Americans' willingness to trust in the possibility of the nation's elected leaders to work together to advance the public good.
Challenging False Witness
A number of advocacy organizations, including People For the American Way, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the American Civil Liberties Union and other members of the Coalition Against Religious Discrimination worked to set the record straight during the hours leading up to the Senate vote on DeMint's amendment and encouraged activists to contact Members of Congress. That kind of work demonstrates the importance of a robust public interest advocacy community.
It's also important for journalists, public officials, and other opinion leaders to challenge the Religious Right's false claims that President Obama, or liberals, or equality advocates are out to destroy religious liberty, and not to give proponents of those false claims more credibility than they deserve.

General Discussion
Partial monosomy 11q, also known as Jacobsen syndrome, is a rare chromosomal disorder in which a portion of chromosome 11 is missing or deleted 11q monosomy. The range and severity of symptoms varies, depending in part on the exact location and size of the missing material. Symptoms commonly associated with partial monosomy 11q include abnormally slow growth before and after birth (prenatal and postnatal growth retardation), and/or moderate to severe delays in the acquisition of skills requiring the coordination of mental and muscular activity (psychomotor retardation). In rare cases, individuals may have normal/borderline intelligence while in most cases children have mild to severe intellectual disability. Characteristic physical abnormalities may include malformations of the head and face (craniofacial), abnormalities of the eyes, hands, feet, bleeding due to platelet abnormalities, and/or defects of the heart that are present at birth (congenital), and immunological defects. The exact cause of partial monosomy 11q is not fully understood.

- Abstract
- The linear relationship between yield stress and the square of the zeta potential based on the yield stress– DLVO force model, was used to determine the zeta potential at the point of transition from flocculated to dispersed state of a range of oxide dispersions. The critical zeta potential at this point for washed α-Al2O3, TiO2 and ZrO2 dispersions was of magnitude 40, 49 and 52 mV respectively. For highly spherical silica and alumina dispersions, this value was 23 and 38 mV respectively. The square of the critical zeta potential is proportional to the Hamaker constant of the oxide in water when the van der Waals force is the only attractive force in play. Thus the critical zeta potential data obtained allowed the Hamaker constant ratio between the three oxide dispersions to be determined. This ratio between rutile TiO2/water and α-Al2O3/water was 1.50. In comparison, a similar value of 1.46 was obtained for the ratio calculated from Hamaker constant value determined via Lifshitz theory. The ratio between rutile TiO2/water and ZrO2/water is ∼0.90. Using the Hamaker constant of rutile TiO2/water of 61.2 zJ as the standard, the Hamaker constant determined by our method is 41 zJ for α-Al2O3, 68 zJ for ZrO2 and 13.6 zJ for silica.

The entire Koko Head Shooting Complex has been shut down for remediation work on the site's rifle range.
Click here to watch Brenton Awa's story.
The city originally estimated work on the rifle range to be completed by early January but after running into a safety issue, crews weren't able to start on site until Monday.
Nobody's heard the crack of gunfire at the Koko Head rifle range in more than a month. The city closed the range in early December, and hasn't opened it back up since. There's be an issue with air quality for the workers because of the lead from bullets but things are back on track now.
The rifle range was already due for renovation but after two reports of stray bullets landing in a residential area nearby, emergency improvements were necessary.
"They've got to look at safety first and they have to react to that which I think they've done in a pretty fast matter, not fast enough for some folks, I understand that, but for a government to respond that fast is pretty darn good," said Harvey Gerwig, President of the Hawaii Rifle Association.
The city will use sand from Kailua that has been sitting in huge mounds on the side of Lihiwai Road. It will be used as fill for the rifle ranges field area and the eroded backstop.
"They need to create a safe environment and that's what they're doing," said Gerwig.
But users of the city's only public rifle range have been left wondering when they can return.
"It's a hobby for many of us, it's also in preparation for hunting, you need to be able to verify your sights before you go hunting to be ethical," said Gerwig.
An official reopening date for the rifle range has yet to be announced.
"What I would ask the people to do is to be patient, let the city do what needs to be done. They're saying now that they'll be open as soon as the end of this month, January and failing that early February," said Gerwig.
Signs have been posted up at the range saying the Koko Head Shooting Complex will be closed from January 13th through the 29th because of remediation work.
However, the city could reopen portions of the complex aside from the rifle range earlier depending on the contractors air quality tests.

Somalia was the toughest country assignment in Africa, if not the world. Most volunteers were teachers, but there were school builders and health volunteers. In 1968 there were around 100 volunteers in country. While there were in country successes and lasting friendships made, around half the Volunteers did not finish their two years of service. Isolation, both culturally and physical distance, separated most volunteers. Despite training, many were unprepared to deal with Somalia's level of in-country stresses.
In-Country leisure activities
On the lighter side, Volunteers developed the sport of "Tortahzing", an almost mythical beach sport. Required a rope, a land rover, a (empty) Tortoise shell and one of Somali's lovely long beaches. The idea was to skim over the wet sand, avoiding the surf while holding onto the rope for dear life. Another activity was "Duneing". Only done on a full moon. A gaggle of PCVs (usually well fortified with liquid) would arrive at the large sand dunes outside of Mog. There a series of mini games would commence. Hide and Seek, watch the bats, and how far can you roll were typical amusements.
Unusual assignments
The most unusual assignment was probably being a roadie for a traveling Peace Corp Band, called "The Many Mushrooms"(cira 1968). The band featured a young Somali drummer and a volunteer who sang popular Somali love ballads. He got standing ovations from Borama to Galcaio. Three other talented musicians rounded out the core group. For a while the Many Mushrooms rehearsed and traveled with the Radio Hargesia Players, a state sponsored band. The Many Mushrooms also played rock and roll tunes. These included some of their own compositions. Concerts took place in Borama, Hargesia, Berbra, Burao, Galcaio, and a few others towns before the band settled into the Mogadishu night club circuit (earnings went to charity projects).
The Many Mushrooms was not the first traveling entertaining group in Peace Corp Somalia. The United States' Ambassador had also sponsored one or two traveling group of Peace Corp thespians in previous years.
The Somali land has a beauty, similar to the Southwest portions of the United States.

Glad to say I stuck with my gut for once! DD2's top lip will NOT uncurl when latching. If I try to flip it out with my finger, she loses her latch. She actually made a slight bruise above her lip one day as she sucked it in while nursing! I felt like something wasn't right and thanks to another mom on here who posted pics of her son's top lip area, I began to suspect she was tied too tightly there. I was right and pediatrician confirmed it today. He called it a superior labial frenulem.
So my questions are these: Has anyone else had this issue? Did you see an oral surgeon or an ENT? (Doc was concerned an oral surgeon wouldn't see an infant so young, so he referred us to a local ENT). How old was your child when this was corrected? (DD2 is 4 months...I am concerned!) Did you LO gain better weight? (She's a bit behind). Did you get better latches and less pain? What procedure did they use? Did you have any issues of it growing back?
I am familiar with tongue tie as DD1 had hers clipped at 2 days old...immediate relief and great latching. But this is new territory for me with the lip. Worried DD2 will not be able to relearn proper latching and sucking techniques. Am I worrying for nothing?? Thanks!!

Strawberry-banana smoothie
Here's a way to grab a quick and nourishing breakfast on the run on rushed weekday mornings, and it also makes a refreshing snack.
Bananas are a must, since they create a creamy texture when blended; but you can substitute other fruit for the strawberries, such as fresh blueberries or raspberries or fresh or canned pineapple. (If the fruit is not sweet enough, add some honey or sugar.) To add more protein, blend in about 2 tablespoons soy protein powder, which you can find at a health food store.
1 c. cold plain or vanilla-flavored soy milk
1 c. sliced strawberries1 ripe banana, cut into 1-inch-thick chunks
¼ tsp. pure vanilla extract
Garnish: sprig of fresh mint
Put all of the ingredients into a blender; blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
Advance Preparation:
This smoothie is best when prepared just before serving; but leftovers can be covered, refrigerated, and served later the same day.

I see your point. Right now, he's still using bottles (all whole milk now) for the 3 meals while we're apart so do you think I should start sending 3 sippy cups with the whole milk? .... he uses sippy cups of water usually with "in-between meal" snacks or just to have right now so he does use them.
The last thing I want right now is to back myself into a corner and make matters more difficult for either of us.

I have never hand expressed milk before... I never really knew how to do it? Anyway, I watched this video yesterday and I was inspired. I decided to try it today after pumping, and ended up getting an extra 1/2 ounce! Anyway, I'm still trying to get the technique down (it kinda hurt!), but just wanted to see if anybody else out there hand expresses after the flow of milk has stopped while pumping?
On a funny note... I watched the video while I was at work yesterday and I was the entire time, and kept watching over my shoulder to see if anyone could see what I was watching! They show a lot of boob in the video.

Eye infections are common, especially in children. They often happen when a child has a cold. Both viral eye infections and bacterial eye infections are called conjunctivitis, or pink eye.
The term "pink eye," however, is most often associated with the bacterial infection. It causes most of the symptoms people tend to think of when they hear about pink eye: yellow discharge, pus that causes the eyelids to stick together, and puffy eyelids. A viral eye infection does not lead to drainage or pus in and around the eye. Its main symptom is eye redness.
Viral pink eye usually lasts as long as a cold: typically up to one to two weeks. No treatment is necessary. Because it is not caused by bacteria, antibiotic eye drops do not help this type of eye infection. Children with viral pink eye do not need to stay home from child care or school. The condition is harmless and only mildly contagious.
When a child has viral pink eye, he or she is at risk for getting bacterial pink eye, too. Many kids end up having both types of eye infection at the same time. To help prevent that, during the time the eyes are red, gently wipe the eyelids with a cotton ball soaked in warm water about every 1 to 2 hours while the child is awake.
If you notice any discharge or other matter forming in the child's, a parent should contact his primary care team to determine if bacterial pink eye has developed. If so, his provider may recommend antibiotic eye drops.
A typical prescription for bacterial pink eye is one drop in each eye every 4 hours when the child is awake. Continue using the eye drops until the child has woken up two mornings in a row without any pus or other matter in either eye. To prevent eye damage, contact lenses should not be worn while a person is receiving treatment for bacterial pink eye.
Bacterial pink eye can be spread to others if they come in contact with pus from the eyes. For that reason, people who have bacterial pink eye should not share towels, washcloths or other personal hygiene items that may be used on the eyes or face. Washing hands often can also decrease the risk.
Unless the pus is excessive, the risk of spreading bacterial pink eye is low after the first 24 hours of using antibiotic eye drops. Children can return to child care or school at that time.
It is uncommon for pink eye to lead to other medical concerns, and the condition usually goes away without any lasting eye problems. But call the child's doctor right away if you notice his eyes becoming very red or swollen, if he starts to have blurry vision, if the eyes become painful or if he develops an earache.
— Stephanie Starr, M.D., Community Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.

Woof Quirky-009 - sessions NOT saved - ideas? fix?
Hi, loving quicky-009
I'm running a frugal install off usb stick.
I boot with grub 2 installed on stick and edit the grub.cfg which works great.
I have just the 3 files on the usb stick.
SO, please tell me how I can get woof QUIRKY-009 to save session on exit...

Try starting puppy with pfix=ram on the kernel line in grub.
When you quit it should ask you if you want to save a pupsave file. Save it in the same directory as your other three files. If you are booting off a USB stick you should have a save option on the desktop, looks like a target, if you click on this it will do a forced save. When booting from a USB stick the pupsave file is only saved about every 30 minutes, this is to preserve the life of the USB stick.
Now Quirky may be different but this is how things normally work on a frugal install on a USB stick. In other words you should probably have four files.

woohoo! thank you. will try. Now, to show my lack of skill I'm going to mention that I will be trying to figure out HOW to load the dev.sfs for quirky 009 as well AND if it will give me the ability to compile from source as i hope.
I think I put the dev.sfs in /mnt/home and reboot ?
sorry about that question!
I believe I need gcc and make stuff. etc.

probably 'cause I use grub2 installed on usb stick. With this GRUB2 menuentry to boot the loose 3 files at the root level of my usb stick.
set root=(hd0,1)
linux /vmlinuz
initrd /initrd.gz
I added the pfix=ram line AFTER the linux line and then after the initrd line
1) linux /vmlinuz pfix=ram
then tried
2) initrd /initrd.gz pfix=ram
neither saved session on restart nor did I get the familiar save icon.
So...hmm.... mabe I need to alter one of the files vmlinuz or initrd.gz

I haven't tried Grub2 but I do have a USB stick with four or five different versions of puppy on it, never leave home without it.
What you did should have worked.
As for Quirky, Xorg and Xvesa don't work for me. I am waiting for Barry to release Quirky 10 before I try it again.
Quirky is very experimental which means you will usually have some issues.
Have you tried any other puplets like Zigberts Stardust?
I am currently using ver 4.3.2 and it works great on my machine.

thanks smokey! um, i'm going to try small letter lower case for vmlinuz and initrd.gz as i needed to rename the quirky sfs. Good fun trying things. I'm trying dpup now.
yes, stardust is great, so's lighthouse. Thing is I'm needing to get more skill.
So all good for sure.
um, something woof based seems like the future yet it ends up a puppy anyways mostly so really... huh, I'm thinking the barest puppy possible. No games or desktop graphics fluff which if I recall startdust and lighthouse have a bit much of maybe, for me that is.
I would REALLY like a barebones puppy that I could compile source with.
Though I think 'maybe?' puppy has some unconventional /usr/lib pointers in most packages...not really able to explain yet though with the persistence aufs requirement it's not what I'm more used to.
fun fun fun though.
um, so about to try dpup and will be looking for a version that is really bare that has the compile stuff already or easily add-able. not as easy to find yet.
best wishes to all!

UPDATE COMMENT: ohhh, puppy pfix=ram OK, will try. didn't see 'puppy' on first read.
- - -
hehehe yes! like, coming back to puppy after a long time of using it as a utility distro has me thinking, ok... time to understand what I didn't understand before.
and tasmod... I put the pfix line after set root=(hd0,1) last night... maybe try a few other places in the line. reply great, thanks. grubs is fantastically interesting for booting iso and in puppies case, booting the loose frugal files.
MOST interesting is stuff like, after extracting out the 3 needed files for a frugal on the USB stick AND to have it work with grub2 as things are now ... (grub2 looks for whatever hooks and stuff it can in the kernel and initrd lines as I understand it, to boot the iso or files.)
Anyways, I found that with quirky I renamed the .sfs and now with dpup the files IN the ISO are big letters/upper-case and reallyinteresting is that the file name for the sfs is like,
and grub2 boot told me it couldn't find:
dash underscore
differences between ISO and what grub2 expects.
guess there's some translation in intird.gz or vmlinuz
Anyways on my list to learn about boot files etc.
my skill there is just very very primary.
OK thanks!
looking forward to quirky 010
currently using dpup due to the save thing in quirky for me... and maybe dpup is logical for me for now..... dunno yet. can't save....
will work with the pfix=ram
like I said, though I don't assume I got it right yet I believe that pupping the pfix line after
set root=(hd0,1) pfix=ram
not working.
set root=pfix=ram (hd0,1)
guess not on that one.
cool though!!!!
