Not needlessly dogmatic
As a member of the Montpelier City Council I was surprised by the interpretation of our Jan. 8 meeting that John Odum gave in his commentary Let the band play on published Jan. 14. I do not speak for the council as a whole, but Id like to add my understanding of what happened and why.
The issue of the grant award to the Capital City Band came up as part of the presentation and acceptance of the full slate of 39 tax-funded awards proposed by the Montpelier Community Foundation. After two of the board members of the MCF presented their awards and the City Council accepted them, Ms. Carolyn Silsby asked for an explanation of why the band was awarded $1,000 rather than the $1,500 requested.
Mr. Odum wrote that the reason given for this reduction was essentially just because. The reason I took away from the board members presentation was that the MCF board separates applications between the arts fund, limited to $1,000, and the general fund, which supports public welfare organizations. The MCF board related the time that it spent talking about how to deal with the bands application in particular and the criteria that the board uses to evaluate all of the applications it receives for public funding.
The council did indeed spend 20 minutes talking about a $500 adjustment before passing a $7.4 million budget on an immediate and unanimous vote. The occasion of the MCF board presenting its awards provided a good opportunity to talk about how the structure is and isnt working. The council is interested in listening to Ms. Silsby and the MCF board members, but by our own rules we are limited to approving or rejecting the awards; the council cannot edit it. And even if we could, the council should not alter specific awards during a meeting when the other 21 organizations that did not get their full awards were not present.
I think the current Montpelier City Council is very pragmatic, and part of that has been delegating important work to our amazingly capable volunteers and then providing appropriate direction and oversight to those boards. The creation of the Montpelier Community Fund two years ago provided a way for the city to better anticipate our outside expenditures and an alternative funding process for nonprofit community organizations. It certainly isnt perfect, but neither is it petty or needlessly dogmatic.

I am writing from the early hours of Cyber-Monday after what the New York Times refers to as a "gloomy Black Friday." I have a confession to make. I didn't shop on Thanksgiving (I would never!), nor on Black Friday. I didn't even shop on Small Business Saturday (although I meant to). On Sunday, I browsed the catalogs that managed to find us, even after two moves in one year. I almost clicked on a pair of moto-boots in black leather that were drool-worthy and on sale, but instead I closed my iPad and rested my eyes before going to sleep.
I never thought I would say this, but I may have reached my nadir with recreational shopping. What will happen to the economy without my almost daily boost? Will we have to go to war again? Are we still at war?
I'm not sure when my will to shop failed, but I remember falling as I entered a Home Goods store in Middletown the week before Thanksgiving. All my forward-thinking, intent-on-finding-a fabulous-bargain locomotion ended when my foot caught the lifted edge of a floor-runner and down I went like a sacked Pittsburgh Steeler, iPhone and car keys flying.
When asked if I was all right, all I could think to say was, "I only have an hour to shop." I spent a precious 10 minutes of that hour resting with an ice pack on the knee that had been scraped bloody through my corduroys. A husband who had been dutifully waiting for his wife-shopper assisted me off the floor and whispered to "get everything you can out of this." I interpreted that to mean I should sue Home Goods for failing to adjust their floor mat before I toppled. "I have insurance," I told him and thanked him for his help.
A little wobbly but hale enough to shop, I made my way through the condiments and candy aisles past dog beds and pet-bowl mats in the shape of bones, all the way to lighting and rugs. There was a nice nine by 12 for less than I paid at a Pottery Barn sale last month, but I left it hanging there. Two velvet pillows in a tangy orange would have brightened the new turquoise couch, but I left them on the shelf. Buddha was well-represented in the home decor aisle. A giant head of Siddhartha Gautama would have set me back only $29. But, no. I rubbed it for luck and left empty-handed, except for the band-aid the store manager gave me.
The next day my body ached. Nothing serious, just all those tensed and twisted muscles reporting in. But it got me thinking. Before my fall at the mall, my husband and I had a talk. Our new home was (almost) fully furnished and our American Express bill was reaching new heights every month. It was time to distinguish between "need" and "want." That's a rational thought. But was my shopping rational? I knew it wasn't only that. Some of my wants were based on unfulfilled needs of another kind. (Hey, psychotherapy wasn't wasted on me!) It was based on the primal fear of not having enough. A fear passed down from a family of the Great Depression. Maybe even before that, from An Gorta Mor, the Irish Famine of the 1840s.
Feelings of deprivation can be powerful motivators that can lead to all kinds of destructive behaviors. Addictions like gambling, alcoholism and drug use, or overeating can all be traced back to early deprivation, either emotional or physical.
The holiday season can be a great excuse to overdo it, with drinking, or eating, or shopping. But being honest with yourself and someone close to you can put a damper on those urges. Believe me.

Elections board says 843K recall signatures against Kleefisch
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin election officials say recall organizers turned in nearly 843,000 signatures against Republican Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch.
A state Government Accountability Board spokesman released a statement late Monday afternoon noting recall organizers turned in 842,860 names against Kleefisch in January. The announcement marked the first official public signature tally.
Recall organizers need 540,208 valid names to trigger an election. The GAB's statement says board staff have stricken 29,125 names so far. The board's review continues, but Kleefisch has chosen not to challenge any signatures' authenticity. That means an election is a near certainty.
The earliest any election could be held is early May.

The System.Security.Cryptography.Xml namespace has been there since the dawn of time, and the look and feel of the API is rough at best. To top that, the MSDN documentation isn't really something to lean on either, and it's been a long, long time since I last tried to get acquainted with it.
I've done some work to integrate Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) with the ESB we're using at work, and I wanted to implement message security (encryption and signing). Since the messages are XML-based, and that I really didn't want any homegrown security solutions, I found it natural to use EncryptedXml and SignedXml from the aforementioned namespace to do the job. My weapon of choice was x509 certificates and the proof-of-possession key (AES-256-CBC) from the SAML 1.1 token issued by the STS, and by tweaking the EncryptedXml configuration, I managed to massage the information about the x509 key down to a bare minimum (to keep the message size down).
Now, creating the detached signature on the publisher side was a no-brainer as well, but on the other end of the "cable" I wasn't able to verify the signature. I tried "everything", but to no avail. I bugged Barry Dorrans (@blowdart) on Twitter, since he's as a guy that knows "a thing or two" about .NET Security. Barry had a couple of pointers, but none that resolved my issue.
So, weaponed with the .NET Reflector and some moral support from Barry via email, I started to dig into the System.Security assembly. It reeks of all sorts of code smells, and it took a while before I found the piece of information I was looking for:
Using SignedXml.CheckSignature() w/o sending in an X509Certificate2 instance explicitly, will only look in Current User\Other People or Local Machine\Other People. Be aware that Other People is an alias for AddressBook too.

Mac Parker sentenced to 4 1/2 years in film fraud
Front, Malcolm 'Mac' Parker leaves U.S. District Court in Rutland, Vt., on Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2013, alongside his family and attorney John Pacht after being sentenced by Judge Christina Reiss to 55 months for defrauding hundreds of victims in a Ponzi scheme. (AP Photo/Burlington Free Press, Emily McManamy)
Before sentencing Malcolm Mac Parker to more than 4½ years in jail Wednesday, federal Judge Christina Reiss said she regarded the Vermont storyteller as a man suffering from two delusions.
Parkers first misconception, she said, was that his silent partner in the misbegotten film Birth of Innocence was a godlike creature capable of astral projection and time travel who would deliver future lottery numbers to help pay back investors who devoted $28 million to the film.
The second delusion, she said, only became apparent near the end of the decade-long fraud when Parker said he realized that his partner, Louis Soteriou, wasnt the immaculate spiritual guide he thought he was. When that realization hit home, Parker, who owed large sums of interest to investors in a vast Ponzi scheme that numbered 700 investors over the years, didnt end his solicitations, the judge said.
Instead, he ramped them up, soliciting new investments and lying to state financial regulators out of a sense, as Parker told the court, of responsibility to pay other investors.
It was at that point, the judge said, that Parker went from being an arguably deluded victim to being a deluded predator.
You deluded yourself into thinking that Mac Parker was a godlike creature who could do no wrong, Reiss said. You decided you were a good person, who has integrity and honesty and you decided to market those qualities and make money from it.
Parker pleaded guilty in April to conspiracy to commit fraud and filing fraudulent tax return charges
Federal prosecutors asked Reiss to sentence Parker, 56, of Addison, to three years in jail based on the help he provided with the prosecution of Soteriou, who was sentenced to seven years in jail for his role in the fraud Monday.
But while the judge gave Parker some sentencing guideline credit for the assistance he provided including testimony he gave Monday during Soterious sentencing the judge said she believed that prosecutors could have made their case without his help and, moreover, she said she had concerns that Parker hadnt accepted full responsibility for his role in what Reiss described earlier this week as one of the biggest scams ever perpetrated in Vermont.
She ordered Parker to turn himself in to begin his prison sentence on Oct. 1 the same day that Soteriou will begin his own prison term.
In statements to the court and to victims who crowded into the packed courtroom during the five-hour sentencing hearing Wednesday, Parker said he was taking responsibility for what he had done and promised to spend his life working to repay his victims some of whom lost their life savings and retirement funds in the scheme.
During his statements, Parker, an author and public storyteller, had to pause to struggle with his emotions and he broke down in tears after the sentencing and was consoled by friends and family at the defense table.
I was wrong and I did things that were wrong, Parker said. I believed in the unbelievable.
On Monday, Parker told the court that he had placed his faith entirely in Soteriou, a spiritual mentor and healer whom he had known for years. The movie, which remains unfinished after utilizing only about $1 million of the funds raised on its behalf, was begun at Soterious behest, he said, and proceeded largely under his direction even though Soteriou was thousands of miles away from its production for the better part of the decade.
I see, unfortunately in retrospect, that the biggest blind spot and weakness in my character was believing that someone else knew better about my life than I did, he said. I gave my power to someone else but I did this. Im responsible. I abandoned my own integrity, common sense and truth for what I believed was a higher truth.
No restitution order has been set by the court yet, but Parkers defense attorney John Pacht said his client planned to create a trust into which he would donate proceeds from his future creative projects including his plans to complete Birth of Innocence and to work with a documentarian who wants to chronicle the creation of that movie.
Pacht also said the money trail in the scheme supported the argument that his client was less culpable than Soteriou with Parker utilizing about $700,000 of the investors money to pay his bills while Soteriou received about $3.8 million for spiritual research that was actually used to pay for luxury hotel rooms, expensive cars and other amenities.
But Reiss made it clear from the beginning of the hearing that she had doubts about Parkers relative culpability by asking both Pacht and Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Drescher a series of detailed questions about the scam that she said wasnt addressed while Parker was on the stand Monday.
Among other things the judge noted was that while Soteriou received the lions share of investor funds, Parker was the partner who solicited money by pursuing prospective investors relentlessly, according to some of his victims. He also withheld not only Soterious role in the enterprise but low-balled the amount of money already contributed and the number of investors already onboard.
Parker told the same lies to investigators with the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation who questioned him in October 2009 and, despite their insistence that he stop soliciting funds, Parker continued his fundraising activities after the meeting. The judge said he even asked investors who contributed after the meeting with state regulators to back date their checks to September out of a feigned interest in earning them quicker returns.
In reality, the judge said Parker was trying to hide his continued activity from state investigators.
You could have given it up and said you were done with it, the judge said. Instead, you continued with the lies and the delusion of the Mac Parker brand.

Watertown Woman Mourns Death Of Son, Friend
Hours after police identified the 5 year old boy who drowned in the Black River, his mother is talking about her son and the man who went missing apparently trying to rescue the child.
7 News reporter Rachel Spotts spoke with Susan Finley.
Finley's five year old son, Zachary, died Saturday after falling into the Black River.
"He loved to go fishing every day. If he could, he would. He loved to be outside, ride his bike. He was a very energetic and active boy," said Susan.
Susan said she, Zachary and three other friends went fishing Saturday on the banks of the Black River in Watertown.
Police said the group was fishing across from Maggie's On The River restaurant when Finley fell in.
Susan immediately called 911.
"I figured I had lost my son once it happened, but I stayed on the phone and tried to stay calm with 911 the whole time," she said.
Although Susan didn't see what happened, she believes a member of their fishing group jumped in to rescue Zachary.
Police identified that person as 47 year old Edward Lee Whitfield III of 111 East Lynde Street.
Susan said Whitfield, who went by the nickname, "Peanut," was a new friend who joined them for their fishing outing.
He was still missing Monday afternoon.
Zachary's body was found about two miles downriver at the at the Glen Park hydroelectric dam.
He was pronounced dead at around 8:30 p.m. Saturday.
"He was a very smart five year old boy that I loved dearly. I miss him right now. It's hard to go through this every day without him," said Susan.
While Susan grieves for her son, police say they will continue to search the shore periodically for Whitfield.
Officials said he was wearing red pants and a red and white striped shirt when he went missing.
On Sunday, Jefferson County's STAR dive team searched the waters by the Glen Park dam, while Watertown city police and fire personnel searched the shoreline, to no avail.
"There's a lot of undercuts," said Mark Knowles, who commands the dive team. "Anything can get wedged and just never appear again."
"This is high water," he said. "We only go in if there's a justification to do it."
Private citizens also turned up to help search Sunday. One of them was a woman named July Towsley.
"We were out here searching today, me some of my family, friends, to see what we can do."

Quick Update: Video to come soon!Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010 by Brian Pepe-Mooney
Hey Guys,
I just wanted to let you know that I have been working really hard on two simultaneous projects in the laboratory. One focused on using nano-patterened collagen templates to align and differentiate different cell types and the other is that I am writing a review paper with Dr. Hasirci on cell adhesion to nano-grooved templates. I have also started to travel around Turkey during the weekends and have visited Bodrum, Ephesus, Didim, Istanbul, and Izmir. The movies take me about seven or eight hours to make so I have been unfortunately unable to compile the videos and pictures I have taken at all of these places. I will hopefully, this weekend, put together a summary of the last several weeks for your enjoyment. I have two more weeks in the laboratory so I am furiously writing and putting together animated figures for this review. Just a quick update with more to come soon!

Twelve Paralympic medals, five IPC Disabled World Cups, and one summit of Mount Kilimanjaro on a hand-cycle. For Chris Waddell, limits are for other people.
Waddell took up monoskiing after a ski accident left him paralyzed from the waist down in 1988. He holds medals from both winter and summer Paralympic Games, and retired from competitive racing in 2002. He is one of the Dalai Lama's Unsung Heroes of Compassion. Did we mention People magazine thinks he's one of the world's most beautiful people?
SKI › You deal with the repercussions of injury every second of every day. How do you overcome your fear?
CW › "If you prepare enough and trust that your body will react instinctively, then the fear of hurting yourself won't be so inhibiting. One of my downhill coaches would say, if you try to slow down when approaching a big bump at 60 mph, then you're actually less prepared than you would be if you hadn't."
SKI › How do you feel about the pressure on athletes to always go bigger?
CW › "The more competitive the sport is, the further you have to push yourself. It becomes less of a battle against your own demons and more about your ability to make a living. You need to personally decide how far you want to push because there's always going to be someone willing to push more."
SKI › Why did you retire from racing?
CW › "The greater the risk, the smaller the margin of error. That's the attraction. Risk is personal. I found myself in a position where I no longer wanted to risk everything. That was a little disappointing—not willing to risk everything."

John B. Hogg, 91, of Portales, died Wednesday, April 12, 2006, in Farwell.
He was born Sept. 24, 1914, to John B. Hogg Sr. and Roxie Lee Hale Hogg at the family farm home at Jonesville, Quay County. On Oct. 28, 1949, he married LaVelle Cox Mitchell in Clovis.
His father died when he was 2, leaving his mother to raise "little JB" along with his 10-year-old sister and 12-year-old brother.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by PJs Honey, I shrunk the pajamas I was warned by other reviews, so I ordered a size up. After washing and drying on delicate setting, the sleeve and leg length was only slightly too short. However, the waist didn't shrink, so the pants tend to fall down unless I tuck in the top!

Rated 3 out of 5Â by LAB7216 100% Cotton - Will Shrink! These are absolutely wonderful pajamas very warm and comfortable. However, after they were washed and dried, the three pairs I ordered shrunk and no longer fit the recipients. So a wonderful product, but a waste of money on my part. I suggest you order a size larger than normal if you plan to put them in the dryer. December 14, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Sneak Disappointed Greatly disappointed in these pajamas. They looked great so I ordered two pair for my husband. He was pleased with them so we proceeded to wash them. Now, my husband is not a big man. Those pajamas shrunk so much (washed on cold, low dryer), I could not believe it. He cannot wear them. We thought about ordering a larger size but we already have two pairs of pajamas he can't wear - no sense in taking a chance on another pair. November 27, 2014

January 22, 2014 —
As people are riding up and down New York State Route 97 to look for eagles or check out the ever changing ice conditions, other sights are there to see, too. A close look at the water might reveal a dark brown mammal, one to two feet long with a square looking snout and a long muscular tail. It may be in the water, on the ice, or along the river bank. This sleek looking critter would be the North American river otter (Lontra canadensis). This aquatic mammal, although very elusive, is spotted frequently along area waterways, but this was not always the case.
As with many other species, the river otter suffered population declines from factors such as habitat loss, water pollution and unregulated trapping. Otters had disappeared from large areas of Pennsylvania (PA) and New York State (NYS), with small pockets of otter habitat in northeastern PA and eastern NY. By 1982, there was a population in PA estimated at about 300 otters statewide. In the same year, Dr. Tom Serfass, then a graduate student, initiated a reintroduction effort where otters were trapped in areas of viable otter populations and then relocated to areas of PA that had experienced extirpation of otters; over 100 otters were relocated. NYS launched a similar program in the early 1990s to reintroduce river otters to the western part of the state. Due to these efforts, otters have made a significant comeback in both states.
During April 2013, the PA Game Commission released a draft 10-year river otter management plan, which can be found on their website at www.pgc.state.pa.us [2]. One part of the plan raises the possibility of reinstating a trapping season for river otters. Trapping season for otters in PA has been closed since 1952. As outlined in the plan, trapping seasons would be based on a region's (Wildlife Management Unit) otter population density and habitat capacity.
The river isn't the only place to see river otters. They are present at most lakes in the region anywhere near open water. The ice and snow make them easier to spot when out of the water. Aside from foraging for fish and mussels, they spend a lot of time at play. If you are lucky, you may see two or more individuals as they frolic in the water or slide on their bellies down snowy embankments.

Parents cry foul over 'racy,' 'liberal' new textbooks
Social studies books claim 20 percent of women fantasize about rape, parents say
Every K-12 public school in Tennessee is slated to get new social studies textbooks next year, but a group of parents say the books school districts are about to buy up are anti-American and inappropriate.
Now, they are taking their concerns to state commissioners, seeking to raise awareness about the books' content and their perceived bias, according to Nasvhille TV station WSMV
"In dozens of instances, these books are filled with liberal agenda and propaganda," parent Becky Keurig said.
Another mom says students taking Advanced Placement courses may read a book that is too mature for a high school student.
"It cites a 40-year-old study on masturbation in which students are told 20 percent of women actively fantasize about being raped. I have yet to meet these women," parent Julie West said.
The state textbook commissioner responded.
"I think the best question is, 'Is that excusable in an AP-level class?' Personally, I have a real problem with that content, when were talking about a K-12 environment," Tennessee Textbook Commissioner Dr. Dan Lawson told WSMV.
Next month, the commission will put out a list of books it recommends to school districts, which will then be used for the next six years.
As for the parents' concerns, commissioners promised they will be heard.

berlin municipal water project Select Board gets mixed news
BERLIN An income survey that will determine whether the town qualifies for the favorable financing it needs to advance plans for a municipal water system in Berlin was the subject of a good-news-bad-news report to the Select Board this week.
The good news?
Data collected from the shrinking number of households that could be served by the system suggest a median income that is well within the range needed to qualify for either state or federal financing that would make the $5.5 million project instantly affordable.
The bad news?
It appears increasingly unlikely that the income survey will generate the 87 percent response rate that both the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the state Department of Environmental Conservation are looking for and may require before agreeing to help finance the project.
After a series of mass mailings and some door-to-door fieldwork, Shaun Fielder, executive director of the Vermont Rural Water Association, said voluntary participation in the survey has barely cracked 50 percent.
As of Monday, only 31 households, or 53 percent, of the 59 targeted households had provided the income-related information needed to complete the survey, according to Fielder. Seven more, or 12 percent, had refused despite repeated assurances that providing the information would assist the town while committing residents to nothing.
If the refusal rate ticks up any higher, Fielder said, obtaining responses from 87 percent of the households in the proposed service area would become a mathematical impossibility. As it is, he said, based on a weekslong process that has involved extensive outreach and in many cases multiple face-to-face conversations, getting close to that number will be a challenge.
Theres a challenge moving forward to achieve this 87 percent (return rate), he said, explaining fieldwork will likely wrap up this week.
Based on the sample size that dropped from 89 to 59 households, Fielder said, the USDA has been very clear about the need to achieve an 87 percent response rate. Although officials with the state Department of Environmental Conservation havent been quite as adamant, he said, they have indicated they want to see something approaching that number.
If that isnt possible, Fielder said, all bets are off.
Were at the mercy of the funding agencies, whether or not theyre going to accept the survey information, he said.
Based on the data in hand, Fielder said that would be unfortunate.
The median income of the 31 households that have completed the survey is just over $45,000, roughly $12,000 below the $57,328 figure that represents the upper limit of eligibility for obtaining a 20-year negative-interest loan from the USDA. It is also well below the $56,832 median income needed to qualify for favorable financing from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund.
Based on what he characterized as exceptionally favorable data, Tom Willard, chairman of the towns water supply committee, suggested local officials could make a compelling case that the survey should be accepted even if the response rate is less than the agencies have indicated they would like to see.
Based on the towns own estimates for a municipal water system that would serve the Berlin Four Corners area, obtaining favorable financing from either the state or federal government is crucial to keeping annual water costs for homeowners at $500 to $600.
Gary Beem, who serves on the water supply committee, said a more conventional 20-year state loan would likely bump annual water costs to $1,000 per user and could derail the project that voters narrowly approved in February.
Yes, you could have a project, Beem told the board. Is it a feasible project? Im not sure that at $1,000 per user we (would) want to go forward.
In addition to 59 homes, the towns elementary school, its municipal office building, the local volunteer fire station and the Berlin Mall are all in the area that would be served by the water system. The service area includes portions of Airport, Crosstown, Comstock, Fisher, Granger, Scott Hill and Shed roads, as well as the full length of Industrial Lane and a short section of Paine Turnpike in the vicinity of the Route 62 intersection.
Among other things, the system would involve the installation of an estimated 31,500 linear feet of water line and a 400,000-gallon water storage tank and pump station that would be near the three town-owned wells on Scott Hill Road.
In addition to resolving long-standing problems with contaminated drinking water supplies in the area, town officials believe that providing a reliable and affordable source of drinking water would be a catalyst for economic development.

A place for everything.
When the ride is over and it's time to get back, cramming your wet, muddy bike in the back of your car can be a real hassle. That's why Yakima built the SprocketRocket Bike Carrier for your roof rack. The SprocketRocket's sleek skewer installs easily—you don't need tools—and fits both fat and skinny tires as well as most frames with disc brakes. Remove your bike's front wheel and attach the fork to the skewer, then lock in your rear wheel. The optional lock cores allow you to lock your bike to the SprocketRocket while you step into the pub for a post-ride pint. Yakima also gave the SprocketRocket an automotive-quality finish so it would complement your ride.
- Works with round or square crossbars
- Aerodynamic fork block for stability and better fuel economy
- Doesn't touch paint on frame tubing
- Lock-compatible (lock cores sold separately)

More than decent
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I haven't owned many roof top bike racks so I cannot offer comparison, but I can say that this one is fantastic. It is exceptionally solid with everything from my super light road bikes, to 29er mountain bikes, and even heavy beach cruisers.
It is easy to install, easy to get bikes on and off, and it doesn't look as sloppy as some of the other options out there. It is, however; rather expensive, so all this greatness will cost. Highly recommend picking one up if you come across it on sale.
Look pro!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I started with a Sprocket Rocket, left and came back. The Sprocket Rocket in my opinion is the best in most circumstances. It is very stable and does not rock side to side. Alot of the wheel on systems tend to rock. My wife liked it since she could lift the bike easier. My only draw back is that you need to find a place for the front wheel.

Plainfield looks to slow things downBy Eric Blaisdell
STAFF WRITER | July 16,2013PLAINFIELD Residents of Plainfield are working to reduce or eliminate speeding in the village.
The town was recently awarded $7,000 by the Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission to fund a traffic calming study. Jim Donovan, founder of Broadreach Planning and Design of Charlotte, has been hired to conduct the study.
Jodi Vilardi, a member of the steering committee working with Broadreach on the study, said the issues are on Main and Mill streets in the village. Because of the geography of the village, people coming into town from any direction are driving downhill, which can lead to speeding. That has some people worried about the safety of children playing in the area and both pedestrians and their pets.
Its a village, Vilardi said. Its an active, vibrant village full of people that are crossing the street and living their lives. ... For the most part, its about people paying attention to the fact that they are coming into a village.
One possible solution Vilardi sees is instituting a lower advisable speed in the village than the current speed limit of 25 mph.
If you go 25 mph through a village and you feel like its too fast, the advisable speed is probably lower than that, she said.
What the actual solutions will be, however, is up in the air while the town is still holding public work sessions in which residents meet with Donovan to brainstorm the best ways to handle the speeding problem. The first session was in June, with the next scheduled for Aug. 6. A final public work session will take place Sept. 17, and Donovan is expected to present his recommendations to the Select Board in November.
(The report) will recommend, based on community input, the most appropriate (options) for Plainfield, Donovan said. As much as possible, we try not to have any option dependent on any other (option) like you have to do A before you can do B. It gives the widest range of possibilities if all of them can be done whenever in any order.
Select Board member Alice Merrill, who was elected to a three-year term in 2012, said speeding in the village has been an issue for decades.
Merrill said she has lived in the village for 30 years and can remember speeding being a concern when her own children were growing up. Once she joined the board, she knew it was an issue she wanted to tackle.
Its a small village, but it doesnt take much to have a few speeding cars at the wrong time of day when kids are out playing and not paying attention, she said.
Merrill said most of the speeding takes place during commuting hours in the morning and evening.
She said the study will help in addressing the speeding problem whether action is taken now or at some point in the future if an immediate fix isnt readily apparent.
Its a study, so we will have this document that we can refer to and people can refer to it 10 years from now if theres still a problem. It basically gives us some research and sort of takes the pulse of the town and people that live here, as to what they think theyd like to see, how things are and how well fix it, she said.
If any solution recommended by Broadreach is endorsed by the Select Board but is costly, Merrill said, it will be taken to the public in an article to be voted on at town meeting.
In the meantime, Merrill said she has met with road foreman Mike Nolan and some steps will be taken now to help slow down the speeders.
She said speed limit signs and pedestrian crosswalk signs will be updated, and the crosswalks will receive a fresh coat of paint so theyre more visible. Merrill said the street lights in the village are also going to be replaced with LEDs that offer better visibility than the old high-pressure sodium lights.
In the end, though, Merrill said the responsibility is ultimately with the drivers.
We can do so much and then its about people complying with the law and paying attention. Its our obligation to do what we can do, she said.

If I can't remember how long I've had something, I'll guess I've had it a year – unless it is something I've had a really long time, then I'll guess two or three years. Or 10 years at the extreme.
Time has a way of escaping me.
So, I've had this flash drive for about a year, and I've finally figured out how it works.
I mean, there's not a lot to a flash drive. It usually is made of a plastic shell, which protects the metal end that you plug into the computer. Not to get too technical. I would mention USB ports, which stands for universal serial bus, which doesn't make a lot of sense or explain anything.
And I'm a guy who opposes acronyms, and our culture is in love with them. Acronyms strip the meaning of what is being named into a mishmash of capital letters. There are acronyms, such as USA, which are instantly known as the United States of America. But what about IAODAPCA? It's even pronounced as a word. It stands for Illinois Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Professional Certification Association. See what's lost?
But USB makes as much sense as universal serial bus, so I will concede the point on this acronym against my better judgment. Universal serial bus does nothing for me. No one ever uses universal serial bus, unless they are trying to trick you with their superior intellect.
It's always called USB, and you know it is the slot on the side of the computer that accepts the flash drive. It might accept other things that I am unaware of. I try to live a simple life.
I use the flash drive to make copies of things I have written, such as this column. I do so out of fear. Fear that the computer I write on will suddenly decide to eat whatever it is I have written. By eat, I mean it has rendered whatever I have written into garble or absolutely nothing, a blank sheet of Microsoft Office Word 2007.
And that will force me to rewrite. And that has happened, many years ago, much more than two or three. I'm talking something like 10 years ago. Eons. The feeling is crushing. It takes your breath away like a punch to the stomach. Not that they had flash drives 10 years ago, at least that I was aware of.
So, when I am halfway done writing – come to a stopping point to resume writing later – I save what I have written to a flash drive, so I have a complete backup. So far, so good.
In fact, it couldn't be better. My computer hasn't eaten anything I've written – tap my plastic flash drive against the wooden tabletop – ever. Which gives me a sense of security and dread at the same time because isn't it only a matter of time? Isn't something bound to crash?
It is a matter of faith that I save and close a file and that it will show up next time I open it or as I transfer it to my flash drive. Who's to say everything won't flicker, and I will lose everything before I get a chance to back it up on my flash drive? I live with that fear, however irrational it may be. But computers are meant to malfunction. At the most inopportune times.
I've heard of people who have lost vast quantities of data just simply because. Because the computer decided to stop working properly. And that data couldn't be retrieved. And these people were beside themselves, knowing what had to be done: rewriting. Everything.
This flash drive has an orange light that slowly pulsates to let you know it has made a proper connection with the USB port, kind of like a heartbeat to let you know it is alive. It's a handy feature, although a dialogue box will pop up on the screen when the connection has been made.
The first time I used it, the orange heart started pumping right away. And probably the second time, too. But the third time, nothing happened in a few seconds, which is an eternity in computers. So I pulled it out and put it back in. Several times before it started pulsating again.
And over the past year, I've repeated that process, sometimes five or six times before the orange light appeared and all was well. For some reason last week, I gave it an extra couple of seconds. And wouldn't you know, the flash drive started pumping orange to let me know all was well.
I have experimented with the flash drive since then, and if you plug it in and give it a little time, it will start working. In fact, I read online that pulling it out and pushing it in repeatedly can wear on the flash drive or the USB port. I was a little unclear as to what I read. Which is the way it is with computers.
It took a year, but I learned something new about something old. Give it a few seconds, have a sip of coffee, practice some patience. The heart will start beating soon enough if you give it half a chance.

I have heard of Tommee Tippee by name for a very long time, but until quite recently, never really experienced the brand firsthand. I love when I find high quality, cool products for babies and their parents. I love it even more when I get to share with my readers and get to host a giveaway for someone else to get to try these cool products out for free. (See below for details…)Tommee Tippee is most definitely one of the coolest and one of the highest quality brands I've come across. Tommee Tippee may be new to the US but they've been around in Great Britain for quite some time…and you will only find it here in the US at BabiesRUs and ToysRUs.
One of the items we received for review is the "closer to nature" single electric breast pump. Since I'm not in need of a pump any longer, and we have friends due any day now with their first baby, we passed this along to them because we knew they could use it. We did check it out and I have to tell you that this is a really well designed pump. Pumping isn't really something I ever have enjoyed, although I did it, and would do it again in a heart beat- its not always pleasant and isn't really "fun" but for me, worth every second. I think what struck me the most was the softness of the silicone cups – they sure seemed like they'd be a lot more comfortable than the pumps I've used in my time!!
Plus, the ability to express the milk and get it stored in one system, no need to transfer or anything, well, that's just awesomeness. I don't mean because it saves time and money, and eliminates the risk of waste when transferring containers- I simply mean for those of us in the world (ahem, ME) who are clumsy and prone to drop or spill things- it takes the risk of wasting that liquid gold we work so hard to express out of the equation. (The other benefits are nice too but I'm clumsy so this spoke to me!!)
closer to nature ® Electric Breast Pump
Whether moving from breast to bottle, combining the two or choosing to bottle feed, our revolutionary bottle and nipple is your baby's very best option.
Intuitively designed for easier and more comfortable expressing. Researched and developed by Moms and breastfeeding experts. Unique expressables system lets you express, protect, prepare and feed in one easy system, no transferring, no waste.
- The soft silicone cup with innovative massaging ripples mimics a baby's natural feeding action, giving mom maximum comfort.
- Four suction levels allow for efficient expression, controlled by mom to suit her needs and comfort. Ideal for moms that regularly express.
- Easy to clean and assemble
- Extra comfort
- Soft silicone cup flexes and stretches to fit comfortably
- Perfect for in or out of the home
- Electric or battery operated
- BPA free
We also received some explora® Truly spill proof water bottles, which are, like all Tommee Tippee products, BPA free. They are designed for a child's natural oral development. I love the muted colors and designs on these cups, I won't lie. I am not big into having branded characters on things and am very glad to have some cups that are cute and fun without having characters. They can go in the microwave or the dishwasher with no issue. They also do NOT leak. We've tried, tested, and tested again. You can't even bite the tips to make them leak. (Also tested mulitple times). The baby (I have to stop calling her that soon, don't I? She's almost 2 now) seems to like her new cups, largely in part because to her I think they look more like big kid cups than sippy cups so she can be just like her big sister and big brother. She and I both love the birdie cup. I just think its darling, and I love how she says birdie.
The cups come packaged in pairs for purchase, in a nice-for-toddlers 12 oz size. Her big brother and sister keep trying to snag these cups, but they are just for Baby B. Just so you know, they also pass my church test. Our church is a very old church with a lot of wood and not much to soften or muffle the sound when things hit the floor or the side of the pews. We've had cups that hit the floor VERY LOUDLY and, inevitably, hit the floor just when Pastor Chuck is preaching his sermon. Thankfully, when these cups have been launched onto the floor or the side of the pew, they don't make a huge noise. Not something they are designed for, I'm sure, but hey, these are things I think about, so maybe you do too!!
Jenni got to try a different Tommee Tippee product:
Even though I am working on baby #3, I have never really invested in pacifiers or teething toys. I always avoided pacifiers because I nurse my babies and my children never really had a difficult time with teething. However, I began to change my opinion of these items when I ran across Tommee Tippee Chewthers. I was fortunate enough to try out 4 different Tommee Tippee Chewthers. I love that they offer different pacifiers/teething toys for every stage of development. The Chewthers were bright, colorful and interesting for young babies. They definitely keep your little ones attention, while promoting muscle development. These little toys are great for on the go. They are small enough to fit into your diaper bag or bring in the car.
Here are some of the benefits of Tommee Tippee Chewthers:
- "Supports jaw, lip and muscle development
- Supports oral development
- Self soothe – sized and shaped for your baby to stimulate and develop gums
- Speech development – helps develop lip seal and muscle coordination for speech development
- Progressive feeding – encourages jaw and muscle coordination appropriate for each feeding stage
- Tooth care – textured surfaces help care for fragile new teeth
- BPA free"
Here's a little more information about the Chewthers that I tried:
Cosmic Chewther
"Helps prepare baby to chew chunky foods, encourages jaw and muscle coordination appropriate for each feeding stage, Tooth care – textured surfaces help care for fragile new teeth
This Chewther is ideal for babies 9m+
Chewther Keys
- Helps prepare baby to chew mushy foods
- Age Guidance: 6m+
Dual Ended Chewther
- Helps prepare baby to chew pureed foods
- Age Guidance: 4m+
Gummy Chewther
- Helps prepare baby for thicker liquids
- Age Guidance: 3m+
My overall impressions:
I really loved the unique shape of these pacifiers and teethers. You can immediately tell that these toys are different from others. The unique shape encourages a different type of bite for the benefit oral development. The colors were bright and fun and the materials were pleasant to chew on. I have to admit that even my 2 year old liked chewing on them! I will definitely be packing a couple of these in my diaper bag for on the go.

Two-sided table cards that indicate whether diners want others to sit at their table have been introduced in the Hokie Grill on the campus of Virginia Tech University, reports the Collegiate Times. The cards, red with a frowning face on one side and green with a smiling face on the other, were the idea of a student and were deployed by VA Tech Dining at Hokie Grill to test their appeal and effectiveness. If they prove popular, the program may be expanded to other campus dining locations ...

Kobalt™ font family
Designed by Leslie Cabarga in 2007
Leslie Cabarga
Working under the name 'Handy Lettering Co.' for many years I designed hand lettering for advertising clients, while also working full time as Leslie Cabarga, illustrator. But drawing illustrations has always seemed difficult. Lettering is easy and fun. It's an adventure with less angst involved. Working for the last five years on the Macintosh has enabled me to create computer fonts, which in many ways is the most satisfying thing I do.
Typing a letter or manuscript with a font I've created makes me feel like God. I'm part historian, part preacher and part teacher. The fonts I'm designing usually start with some historical fragments. My interest in developing and refining these for current use is in initiating the unenlightened about great lost alphabets, and spreading the gospel of type design. With my background in hand lettering I differ from many pure type designers. The computer has blurred the line between type and lettering allowing type to become less conservative, less boringly regular, and to allow many idiosyncracies of lettering.
With my font BadTyp, I spent years collecting the worst examples of lettering and created a font designed to teach people to recognize the most common lettering mistakes. There is only one basic error in font design and that's inconsistency."

The Black List Project
When I went to the Brooklyn Museum over winter break, my destination was Gilbert & George. Along the way, I was distracted by a modern white cubicle-type space set up in the middle of the traditional dark-lit floor. Four temporary walls encased twenty-five photographs of African Americans; flat screen TVs outside ran interviews.
The subjects ranged from Toni Morrison to Will Smith to Colin Powell. The exhibit was The Black List Project, by photographer/filmmaker Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and public radio host/former Times film critic Elvis Mitchell (the interviewer). It is on display at the Brooklyn Museum until March 29th. The Black List Project also includes a book and film component (Volume Two of the documentaries is premiering on HBO February 26th).
I saw the exhibition with my friend, and her reaction seemed to be, "Oh, a bunch of portraits. Great, now let's move on."
However, I think it's important that we take some time to honor important and accomplished African Americans in our museums. We have countless paintings of old white men hanging in gilded frames. It's about time we had some black faces.

The Talmud class meets once a week except for holidays and vacations. The class is open to Bnai Shalom members as well as our friends in the community.
Our class is run by Rabbi Mayer E. Rabinowitz. Rabbi Rabinowitz is an associate professor of Talmud at The Jewish Theological Seminary. He served as JTS's librarian from 1987 to 2002, where, under his leadership, the reputation and accessibility of The Library grew to new heights.
Rabbi Rabinowitz is the chairman of the Joint Bet Din of the Conservative Movement, which deals with matters of marriage and divorce, as well as arbitration and mediation. He served as both secretary and research consultant to the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of the Rabbinical Assembly; he served on the law committee for twenty-five years, until 2006. Over the years, he served as director of the Saul Lieberman Institute of Talmudic Research, dean of The Graduate School, associate dean of The Graduate School, and dean of students at The Seminary College of Jewish Studies/Teachers Institute (now List College).
Rabbi Rabinowitz is the author of several critical editions of medieval halakhic works and the editor/translator of "Jewish Law in the State of Israel" (Proceedings of the Rabbinical Assembly, 1974). His paper "On the Ordination of Women: An Advocate's Halakhic Response" was published in Judaism and appears in The Ordination of Women as Rabbis: Studies and Responsa. Other articles have appeared in Conservative Judaism, Reconstructionist Magazine, and Sinai. Rabbi Rabinowitz has written numerous responsa for the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards, including "The Observance of Yom Tov Sheni in Israel," "Post Shehita Stunning and Bolting," "On Homosexuality," "Women, Raise Your Hands" (daughters of Kohanim), "Rishon or Kohen," "Davar Hadash" (with Kassel Abelson), "Renewal of Marriage for Couples Without a Get" (with Kassel Abelson), and "The Status of Transsexuals." His responsa appear in the Proceedings of The CJLS 1980–1985, 1986–1990, and Responsa 1991–2000. In addition, they can be seen on the website of the Rabbinical Assembly . He has lectured widely in North America and in Israel on issues concerning Jewish law and the Conservative Movement.
The recipient of several awards and grants, including a National Defense Foreign Language Fellowship and a Memorial Foundation grant, Rabbi Rabinowitz was a Fellow of the Herbert Lehman Institute for Talmudic Ethics. Rabbi Rabinowitz received his BA, BHL, and MA from Yeshiva University and his MHL, rabbinic ordination, and PhD from JTS.
