Yellowstone tower reignites debate over cell phones in the backcountry
I'm probably too young to be a good curmudgeon, but I nonetheless subscribe to Ed Abbey's view of wilderness: it doesn't need to be safe and accessible for everybody. Put ramps and roads and signs and cell phones into our cities, but please, leave them out of the backcountry. Sure they make it safer, but the element of risk is part of what defines the outdoors, and part of what draws me to it.
Judging from recent developments in Yellowstone, I may be in the minority. On July 23, the National Park Service approved its sixth cell phone tower for Yellowstone National Park, adding to dozens of towers already sticking out of other national parks around the country. The new 100-foot Verizon Wireless tower will mostly improve cell phone coverage in developed areas of Yellowstone, but may also include some "spillover" into the backcountry.
Public affairs officer Al Nash said that the park is simply giving people the basic services they expect. "Overwhelmingly what we hear from visitors is they are surprised that cell service is so limited and so spotty," he said. "Their personal experience where they live is that cell service is ubiquitous."
Visitors to Yellowstone's Facebook page weren't quite as consistent in their support, with most comments (to put it mildly) leaning toward "dislike."
The Wilderness Act of 1964 prohibits motors and even bicycles within designated wilderness boundaries, but says nothing on the subject of technology. Tech proponents argue that cell phones offer safety and convenience, while wilderness purists say that they're an annoying distraction. Plus, they say, the belief that you can phone your way out of a hairy situation creates an illusion of safety, enticing people without wilderness skills to use technology as a substitute for training and experience. Tales abound of inexperienced people wandering the backcountry with cell phones, making unnecessary calls to search and rescue that can put volunteers in danger, or at the very least, waste their time and money.
It seems the wilderness elitists are losing. There are now Instagram photos taken from the summit of Everest and apps developed by wilderness medicine organizations to record vital signs that can then be transmitted to search and rescue. One mountain biker wrote recently that many adventure sports enthusiasts she knows use their phones to check the weather and avoid unfavorable conditions, but by never getting rained on, they also distance themselves from a real connection with nature.
While those examples may seem trite, the July deaths of three hikers in the wilderness area on the Arizona-Utah border known as the Wave are not. The trio of deaths (including a 27-year-old mother of two, whose husband hiked to cell phone range to call for help after she collapsed) has prompted the Bureau of Land Management to consider increasing safety in the area through better cell phone coverage -- which, along with the Yellowstone announcement, has prompted a re-hashing of the cell-phones-vs-wilderness debate.
HCN has published its share of anti-cell phone rants over the years. The most moving arguments, though, aren't the pleas to turn off your phone and experience sweet, glorious nature, but rather heartbreaking stories like the one about the Wave. One particularly poignant letter to the editor asks readers to imagine themselves for a moment alone in the wilderness with a victim of an accident. Would you wish for a cell phone then, to call for help? When editor Jodi Peterson heard a voice in Mesa Verde National Park that may have belonged to a missing hiker this summer, might cell phone service have helped save the man's life?
These are hard questions, especially for self-described wilderness snobs like myself. Of course, I don't want to watch someone die because of a lack of cell phone service. I don't want to oppose something that could save someone's life, or my own.
But ultimately, though the argument against improved cell phone coverage in the wilderness can come across as selfish, trite or nostalgic, it stems from a deep love of nature, from wanting to preserve something that's meaningful and powerful and hard to articulate. Maybe it's inevitable that communication networks will one day permeate every canyon and mountaintop, but as long as I'm alive, I hope that no matter the risk, I will more often feel the sting of campfire smoke in my eyes than the strain of squinting at a screen. I hope there will always be places where you cannot check your phone to look up how to start a fire in the rain but rather must crouch on a wet, rocky beach, trying to ignite a handful of tinder while gray sky closes in and seagulls reel through the fog and the rest of the world seems far, far away.

The safety blanket that people think their cell phone doubles as will unquestionably lead to more inexperienced people doing things they should not be doing, requiring rescue even without any threat to life. How long until we see someone pecking away on a laptop deep in the backcountry or talking to clients or the office?
The backcountry is a dangerous place. People die. I carry a personal locator beacon for exactly this reason. Problem solved.
I forget what agency recently put out a press release reminding people that they are not to use the emergency buttons on the PLBs for minor incidents. Good luck getting that message through to the people most guilty of asking for assistance because they just simply have too many blisters to continue. These kind of requests, too, are certain to become more common as people who are shocked to find that places like backcountry wilderness have no cell phone reception are catered to.
One of the basic tenets stated in the Wilderness Act was the recognition that humans had the capacity to develop every square foot of land and that if we were to preserve any from that development, we had to do so intentionally. I believe that should include technological development as well as more physical ones.
So count me amongst the curmudgeons.
And let's be honest about how 99.9999999% of cell phone coverage will be used: mundane phone calls and web browsing. Maybe the remaining 0.0000001% of service will save a few lives, but I don't think that is worth the erosion of experiencing Life that the other multi-millions of us will suffer. Keeping cell coverage from creeping into every nook and cranny is a moral and spiritual question much more than it is a "safety" question.
Yellowstone is NOT safe and no one should be misled into thinking it is safe. Honestly, too many people are coming here who don't belong here. They come not because they give a damn about ecology or wildlife or geology--they come because it's famous. Most people who come here don't have a clue about dealing with a wild animal. People come here and camp in grizzly country when they've never camped in their own backyard.
I was a curmudgeon on these issues before I got here; the things I've seen have made me more of one.
As for the earlier comment about never seeing anyone in the wilderness backcountry in Yellowstone on a cellphone...you have never experienced the displeasure of being on the same trail as a park ranger yapping away on their cell phone for miles into the "wilderness", or sitting by a mountain stream, listening to the birds sing, just to be interrupted by a ringing cellphone. Maybe we should make laws prohibiting texting while hiking or riding a horse. Or maybe if it was hands free, it could be allowed in the wilderness. Not!
Is there even any wilderness left on this planet???
The National Park Service states that "[a]round 3,500 employees are hired [by concessionaires] every year in Yellowstone to provide service for the nearly 3 million visitors who annually visit the park" (http://www.nps.gov/yell/parkmgmt/jobs.htm). Perhaps a thousand individuals work directly for the NPS in Yellowstone. So that gives us a little more than four thousand individuals looking out for three million visitors, most of whom arrive over the course of just a few months in the summer. The NPS employees also officiate between visitors and bears, visitors and bison, and visitors and geysers. This list goes on.
To provide additional perspective (compliments of irma.nps.gov/Stats), in April 2012, Yellowstone had 29,056 visitors. By the next month, the number of visitors had increased exponentially, to 268,251. In June, more than half a million people visited (671,825), and in the following month (July 2012), nearly a million people (888,335 !!) came to Yellowstone. August saw more than three quarters of a million visitors (780,286) and September again yielded more than half a million visitors (527,610). Visitor numbers in the hundreds of thousands, it should be pointed out, far exceed the populations of Montana's/Wyoming's/Idaho's largest cities. These numbers also show that more people visit Yellowstone in one month than live in the entire state of Wyoming year round!! (Wyoming population, per the US Census Bureau 2012 estimate, was 576,412. Wyoming's actual 2010 population figure was 563,626.)
Boring facts when compared with getting away from it all in the wilderness, I know. Nonetheless, if I were tasked with planning and safety for three million people, especially three million people who likely had minimal knowledge of back country skills and etiquette, I might feel the need to support their experience in the least intrusive manner available, even as I continued to remind them that they were visitors in the house of the bear and the bison.
Still, that's just one person's perspective. As with every national park and national forest unit, addressing visitor needs is a balancing act. At Yellowstone, the National Park Service provides opportunity for public comment when issues such as allowing construction of cell towers in the park come up. Whenever possible, I try to weigh in on these issues. My guess is that many of Krista's comment writers do the same. Just don't give up on the debate, eh!

(Source: http://www.nps.gov/protect/ and many other places)
I think the NPS has done an excellent job of keeping this ratio in perspective, coming down so frequently on the "conserve" side that any present-day visitor to Yellowstone can easily leave the developed areas of this park and literally become lost (or suffer worse fates) while still remaining within the boundaries of this hugely popular and well-visited park. Others clearly think the NPS could do more.
The line favoring conservation over development has shifted throughout the past century and will no doubt shift again over the coming years.
That is the debate I was referring to, and that debate is most surely worth continuing.
I was not referring to the debate, as it were, established by the comment writers following Krista Langlois's HCN blog, although I do view the pages of HCN as a near perfect venue for such debates.
I also was not referring to the debate over this particular cell tower. This decision has been made, thus the time to debate this element has clearly passed. Again, though, it is worth watching this decision and the resulting outcomes, as any effects, positive or negative, that result from society having accepted this tower as a part of Yellowstone's infrastructure could certainly help us when faced with similar decision points in future debates.
Sorry for any confusion over the topic of just which debate I was referring to! (And thanks BC for emailing me directly with your question—now that is technology at work!)
Kurt Angersbach / Westernlabs
In fact I think it is selfish and trite for people to 'expect' that every service and creature comfort they have at home should be made available to them at a National Park or in other public lands. What did these people do before the invention of mobile phones?
The primary reason a majority of tourists visit the public lands of the U.S. is to 'get away' from the daily grind and take in the beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Of course, every one has a different definition of 'getting away' from everything. Some people have tricked out RVs and pack every creature comfort with them in their campers. Others go the minimalist route. I think the developed portions of some of our National Parks shouldn't get any bigger or better.
It wasn't as if family emergencies and the need to be rescued didn't exist before mobile phones were invented. The majority of my backpacking and camping trips are intended to put me as far away from civilization as possible. I love NOT having mobile service in the back-country. I have to rely on my skills, remember how to read a paper map and use a compass and actually pay attention to my surroundings. It's a time to decompress, unplug and tune out the 24/7 cycle of noise. That's why it's called a vacation or holiday.
Our public lands are the last bulwark against the onslaught of 'civilization' and we would do well to protect them as best as we can from the intrusions of technology and development all done under the guise of safety and progress. If anything, having those wild places is a friendly reminder that we're a part of Nature even if we've been trying to a part from Nature since we got kicked out of Eden.

I think its a very special bond between father and son to be nude together without the incest part. Walking around nude and hanging out nude and even hugging nude. I would think it a special bond. I've seen my father nude and even just his penis as he used to pee with the door open. He wasn't one I could approach and ask him to just look at it let alone touch it even though I had the desire to do so. My father was a sound sleeper and when I was 10 or 11 I used to sneak in his room at night and cop a feel. Did that for a while. When he fell asleep on the chair, I would put my hand on his crotch and feel around. It was nice only wished I could have done it when he was a wake but he wasn't approachable like that.
I remember him showing me how to stand up and pee when I was a kid, how he used to stand behind me and hold my penis showing me how to aim. He did that a couple of times until I got the hang of it. We grew apart as I got older as he became an alcoholic and abusive.
For fathers who want to bond with their sons and are able to go nude. A nude hug, penis touching penis shouldn't stop you. The penis should not be off limits after all its only a penis. Wouldn't you want you son to come to you if he has penile problems instead of suffering in silence or going to your son for help if you get hit in the balls. Have medical exams together be free to touch in a non sexual way. In other cultures, fathers and sons bathe each other including the genitals. To them its no big deal. I tell my friends both straight and gay that I'm touchable and if they feel the need to touch a dick feel free to touch me. However jerking me and sucking me off, then we have to talk. I guess I'm more free thinking because I'm a body groomer, I wax and/or shave men and the penis is not a big deal for me. Apparently not for them either because they're trusting me with their balls.

The National Elementary Honor Society (NEHS) at Midlakes Intermediate School developed and carried out its own fundraiser to benefit Thompson Health, raising more than $100 for young patients in the Surgical Care Center.
The students decorated collection jars, delivered them to classrooms and publicized their fundraiser through morning announcements. After a month of fundraising efforts, the students presented a check to the F.F. Thompson Foundation to purchase items for children treated in the Surgical Care Center.
"We're grateful for their donation and for what it will do for the boys and girls who come to our Surgical Care Center," says Sue Smith, RN, of the Surgical Care Center. "If we can provide these children with a coloring book or stickers, it helps alleviate some of their anxiety and makes their experience here more special."
Individuals interested in making a donation to Thompson Health are encouraged to contact the F.F. Thompson Foundation at firstname.lastname@example.com for a current list of needed items.

Feeling ready to snap out of it
River Ridge is building confidence, eager to end its 23-game losing streak.
By IZZY GOULD
Published May 27, 2007
NEW PORT RICHEY - Tim Stevens feels more comfortable at the top.
Moments after the second-year coach called a wrap on spring practice, he recalled his first days as head coach more than a year ago.
Forget coaching. Stevens had to learn Administration 101.
There were phone lists, rosters and medical forms to start.
"That first time through I was swamped," Stevens said. "My head was spinning."
Then came the imperfect season: 10 losses in 10 games.
Any hopes of being carried off the field in celebration quickly faded.
River Ridge hasn't won since 2004, dropping 23 consecutive games - the longest such streak in Pasco County.
Stevens and his players walked away from Thursday's scrimmage and into the hugs and handshakes of family and friends.
They had gained a fiery confidence. They will enter the fall with a core of players with varsity experience for the first time in recent memory.
No one on the roster should expect a call from Urban Meyer or Bobby Bowden.
What Stevens has is a core of solid football players who proved they are mentally sound. Some of these kids have never won a varsity game.
"You want to have fun and have success," Stevens said. "There wasn't a whole lot of that last year.
"The kids that don't want to be here quit. It's a character builder."
Leaders such as quarterback Blake Spinks and tailback Shawn Ford represent a group of returning starters that will overshadow the loss of 12 or more seniors.
Spinks is bigger, stronger and more confident than a year ago. Stevens likes the way he throws and believes he can eliminate some of the costly mistakes he made as a first-year starter.
"Not that they were all his fault," Stevens said. "But ultimately you're going to blame the quarterback if things aren't going right. You're going to blame the head coach after that. That's the way it goes."
Ford should help solidify a solid backfield along with newcomer Stavros Arianas and slot back Markel Bell, younger brother of former speedster Sam Bell.
"As far as gamebreaking ability, he's probably our closest one to that guy that can get out in the open field and make people look silly," Stevens said. "He does a good job of that."
Of the 60 or so guys who came out this spring, some who could make a difference in the fall include Andrew Singer, Mike Disparti and Justin Ayers.
Ultimately, there was a sense that everyone was simply tired of losing.
River Ridge should get a shot at a victory early, opening at 0-10 Lecanto followed by first-year startup Sunlake.
"I'm tired of losing," Ford said. "I'm tired of walking to the store and people saying stuff. I want to win some games this year. I want to turn things around."

Helping Establish Great Reading Skills

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
Comments about Educational Insights Hot Dots® Let's Master Grade 3 Reading:
I feel like 3rd grade is the year that a child decides whether they like to read or not. This is the year where they start reading mor chapter books and if they are engaged and excelling in reading it is easy to not enjoy it. Reading does so much for a child's imagination, education, vocabulary, and so many other areas of life. I want my child to enjoy reading. Using Hot Dots to help his skills become sharper and more fine tuned helps him enjoy reading more. These books cover topics that include reading comprehension, context clues, spelling, punctuation, grammar, and more. There are also challenge sections to push a child to go further in their skills. Establishing these skills and making sure my child really understands them will help him be successful in his education. Thanks Hot Dots for helping him learn and grow!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

All opinions are my own.Hot Dots Let's Master Grade 3 Reading includes an interactive talking Hot Dots Pen and two Hot Dots workbooks. The workbooks include questions, and multiple choice answers with a black dot next to each possible response. Your child will use the Hot Dots pen to select an answer by vertically pressing down on one of the dots. If the answer is correct a positive reinforcement will be heard and the pen will light up green. If the answer is wrong, a try again message will sound and the pen will light up red. The Grade 3 Reading books cover topics such as reading comprehension, synonyms, antonyms, homophones, context clues, spelling, punctuation and grammar.The 3rd Grade Reading books are similar to the 2nd grade reading books, containing reading comprehension passages and questions that are just a step more difficult. These are harder to read, but still appropriate for 3rd graders. There are some pictures available to help the kids form context of the words they are reading, but for the most part they are required to understand what they are reading to progress through the books. I love that there is a great mix of language arts concepts in each book including grammar and vocabulary. Overall this is a great supplemental kit for teaching 3rd grade age kids language arts. The pages are durable and made to last through repeated use. These books can be used as a teaching tool and as a review for previous concepts to reinforce those ideas as needed. I recommend this kit to anyone with a 3rd grade aged child. It's a great educational tool to teach language arts to them.

We received the Hot Dots 3rd Grade Reading set and are very pleased with this product. My son loved the fact that he had his own pen with sounds to choose his answers with. He spent a lot of time using the Hot Dots set and was eager to read on his own in order to find out whether his answers were correct or not. We will definitely be purchasing more Hot Dots items.

By Happy Mothering

We received the Hot Dots Let's Master 3rd Grade Reading set for review purposes. My daughter is not in 3rd grade yet, but we have had great experiences with the Hot Dots sets for the younger grades so we decided we needed to have them all on hand for future grades. They are fun and educational, and all of them are right on target with the skills they should be learning in those grade levels. I love both the math and reading sets from Hot Dots.

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
This product was great. My 8 year old daughter hates to read or even do anything in the subject of reading or phonics, and this book she loved it. Its not like they are having to study or do homework, My daughter thought we were playing a game and she didn't want to put it down. Even my 10 year Olsson that has ADHD wanted to play and he was very interested also, and he usually loses interest in things very easy. I would recommend this for kids andkids with ADHD also because it really does keep there interest there always excited to see if they got the answer right or not. As for the pen I reallylike how it talks and knows if the kids got the answer right or wrong. I think all moms and dads should give this a try for there kids. I will be getting more of these for my other kids.g
She really liked it!

My granddaughter really liked going through it the first time then liked it when we went over it for practice. She likes to predict what her pen will say. She is more advanced so her favorite part was the advanced lessons they include.I received this product for an open and honest review.

Where do you see the mention of toppings? Are you sure that's not gyro meat with feta?
Bob,Colin is correct. If you go to http://www.disalvospizza.com/menu.php and click through to the Gourmet Menu and then click on Read More next to The Stefano, you will see ricotta and meatballs as the toppings.Peter

According to Entertainment Trends In America, a tracking study conducted by market research company NPD Group, most consumers plan to hold steady or increase their entertainment spending in 2009.
"Even in the face of a down economy, entertainment remains a popular spending category. Most consumers say they'll continue to purchase at least the same amount of many entertainment categories in the coming year," said Russ Crupnick, entertainment industry analyst for NPD.
According to the NPD report, 75% of consumers surveyed said they will spend the same amount or more on digital music downloads as they did in 2008. 65% will spend the same or more on video games, and sixty percent will spend the same or more on CDs. Nearly three-quarters – 73% – of consumers expect to spend the same amount or more on theatrical movies; and based on comparison to last year's statistics, the theatrical movie category appears to be in the best position for growth, as only 66% of survey respondents said they would spend the same or more last year.
NPD reported 51% of consumers surveyed purchased a DVD or Blu-ray disc in the prior three months. Purchasing a console or portable video game ranked second at 36%, followed by purchasing a CD at 31%.
According to "Entertainment Trends in America", current per capita spending on entertainment in the U.S. is $160 per month, with the bulk of that spending going to dedicated subscriptions mostly related to TV and Internet access. Despite predictions that consumers would trim entertainment subscriptions, the only notable decline in spending NPD observed were for magazines and newspapers.
Even though the entertainment industry appears poised to ride out the recession better than others, the analysts advise caution.
"There is anxiety about the economy among entertainment buyers, increasing use of unpaid digital options for entertainment and competition for the entertainment dollar, but consumers have clearly shown that compelling content will get them back into the stores or theatres," said Mr. Crupnick.
It should be noted that the information was derived from The NPD Group's "Entertainment Trends in America" tracking study, which is based on more than 10 000 completed responses from the U.S. consumers. The final survey data was weighted to represent U.S. population aged 13 and older.

Protestant theologian Walter Brueggemann once compared LGBTQ people to canaries in a coal mine, likening these proverbial birds to society's most vulnerable members. Determining how the canaries are treated, says Brueggemann in an interview with The Witness, "is always the test case about whether we are following Jesus."
Earlier this spring, Krista sat down with Brueggemann in our studios. In the audio clip excerpted here, he explains why he thinks gay and lesbian sexuality "has such adrenaline" in and beyond church communities. For Brueggemann, there's no point in having a theological discussion about homosexuality. He thinks homophobia is a proxy for people's ill-defined fears about an old world order that's rapidly disappearing:
"It is an amorphous anxiety that we're in a free fall as a society. And I think we kind of are in free fall as a society, but I don't think it has anything to do with gays and lesbians particularly."
Last week in New York, that collective "amorphous anxiety" got trumped by Governor Andrew Cuomo's dogged push for social change with the passage of the Marriage Equality Act by the state legislature.
According to The New York Times, Governor Cuomo gathered all of the state's Republican senators at his home to plead his case for the bill's passage. "Their love is worth the same as your love," he reportedly told the senators. "Their partnership is worth the same as your partnership. And they are equal in your eyes to you. That is the driving issue."

The Boca Raton Museum of Art is getting pixelated with its latest exhibition, "The Art of Video Games," on display from October 24 through January 13.
For many, video games are a diversion, a means of entertainment to fill the gaps between sitcoms or NFL games. But for others, video games act as an escape, a diverse and varied reality that ranges from bouncing plumbers crushing animated mushrooms to graphic first-person shooters where the fate of Earth depends on finding an ammunition pack. Whether a causal player or an avid gamer, everyone can agree on one thing: The artistic vision of video games has become quite remarkable.
Through the 40-year evolution of gaming, video games have gone from 16-bit, pixelated "Pong" beams to unbelievably layered graphics, creating virtual worlds that are an art in and of itself. "The Art of Video Games," organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum and curated by Chris Melissinos, author of the exhibition companion book, The Art of Video Games: From Pac-Man to Mass Effect, pulls back the curtain on video games to an extent where the gaming aspect is removed and explores the art of the system. In a way, this helps remove the stigma and preconceived notions many have toward the electronic diversion, giving visitors a new look at the medium.
Broken into five distinct video game eras, the exhibit is as much a historical overview of the billion-dollar industry as it is an artistic exhibit. Starting from the humble Atari beginnings, "The Art of Video Games" explores the different eras through 80 games for 20 systems (from Atari VCS to PlayStation 3) using still images and video footage of each. The galleries also include video interviews with developers and artists, historic game consuls (Remember Magnavox Odyssey and Atari 2600?) and blow-up prints of screen captures. Ever want to know what it feels like to blast some aliens in Duke Nukem? Here's your chance. And how could a video game art exhibit be complete without a little hands-on activity? Each era will include a game for visitors to play. Try your hand at classic titles Pac-Man, Super Mario Brothers and The Secret of Monkey Island; the adventure game that helped define the genre, Myst; and modern marvel of video gaming technology and artistic rendering, the PlayStation 3 title, Flower. Each game helped pave the way for new technological advancements, set the bar for artistic ingenuity and sucked more hours of adolescent time into the screen than most adults would care to admit now.
Tap into your inner gamer for "The Art of Video Games," on exhibit at the Boca Raton Museum of Art from October 24 to January 13. For the enthusiast, November is chalked full of special exhibition programming, from designing your own video game level and character to curator talks and walks. For a full schedule and tickets, visit the website here.

Topic: find :all, :conditions => using datetime
Hi there,
I'm new at ruby on rails and can't find the correct way to work with dates and datetimes as part of the condition of a find.
I want to find all ActiveRecords between two datetimes (start_date and end_date):
bugs = Bug.find :all,
:order => 'id DESC',
:conditions => 'status_id = "3" AND date_fixed > ' + start_date + ' AND date_fixed <= ' + end_date + ' AND product_id = ' + params[:id]
Is there a direct way to pass dates/datetimes onto a query for comparison?
Is the way that I've written the condition above ok, is there a preferrred method to pass multiple conditions?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Perfect Last Minute Gifts for This Holiday
Looking for a meaningful holiday gift for a friend or family member this year? Here are a couple of gifts that give in more than one way.
For the "wine-o" on your list we have the perfect gift:
Red Tail Ridge the The First LEED®-Certified green winery in New York located on the Western Shore of Seneca Lake has a great selection of crisp, refreshing white wines and full bodied reds. Red Tail Ridge produced a charity wine on behalf of Foodlink. Good Karma, has concentrated aromas of apricot and grapefruit rind, with a hint of vanilla. Lush texture on the forward palate, with flavors of clover honey, orange oil , lime and quince followed by a tart citrus finish.
No, you don't have to travel to the fingerlakes to purchase these wines, they are available at many local Liquor and Wine stores. This is a great gift under $20, and a portion of the proceeds fight local hunger!
For the "Person that has Everything" on your list, here's an idea:
Honor them by giving a gift in their name to feed families facing hunger across our 10-county service aread. They will receive a letter and certificate stating that a donation was made on their behalf for the holidays! Plus, your donation is 100% tax deductible. Something everyone can feel good about.Call 585.328.3380 x131 to make your donation today!
The Localvore on your list, here's a good one!:
A gift certificate to Freshwise Farms. Freshwise is a social enterprise of Foodlink. All of the proceeds from the sale of their hydroponic greens and other vegetables go directly toward fighting hunger in our community! You can get a gift certificate in any denomination of $5 increments. Gift certificates can be used at the farm or any farmers' market that Freshwise attends. Call 585.328.3380 ext 131 to purchase yours today!
Have your shopping complete but still want to give back:
Donate Food: Cleaning out your cupboards to make room for your new Pyrex dishes and kitchen gadgets? Donate your non-perishable foods to Foodlink. You can drop them off at 936 Exchange Street between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm Monday thru Friday. I should make mention that we are closed December 24- January 2, 2011. If you wanted to drop food off the week we are closed there are food collection barrels at all local Bruegger's Bagels locations.
Schedule a volunteer shift: While the kids are out of school for holiday break you probably have plans to go to the movie theatre or one of our great museums, after you have done those things and are looking for something the whole family can do, schedule a volunteer shift after the holiday rush! We have shifts available 5 days a week. Contact 585.328.3380 x159 for details!
Happy Holidays to you and yours! See you next year!
'til next time…

Skip to comments.(CT) Hartford and Bridgeport Polls Run Out Of Ballots
Posted on 11/02/2010 3:51:28 PM PDT by LoneGOPinCT
Title was the report. Polling places in Hartford and Bridgeport have reported that they ran out of ballots. How does a polling place run out of ballots? Is there not a list with the number of registered voters in the district and wouldn't they have that number on hand?
The Secretary of State has instructed them to print more ballots.
Just seems odd and worthy of attention. Or am I being too cynical?
can't trust 'Rats to "print more ballots" without printing extras for ballot-box stuffing
Not good. Hartford and Bridgeport are the two largest cities in Connecticut and are where most Democrap vote fraud occurs.
The dead people used up the first batch of ballots, leaving none for the warm-blood residents.
Hartford and Bport big Dem strongholds.
I think they average the number of voters over the last few elections to determine the number of ballots. Not sure.
If they went by registered voters, they would always have a huge amount of leftover ballots.
I've never voted at any precinct, always voted absentee ballot.
Suspect indeed—especially with turnout apparently low in other inner-city areas across the country.
Not good but not the end
I would be very leary of doing anything to p!zz off Vince McMahon...the guy is ruthless and very smart....
I would refuse to move a foot until more ballots were secured. There is no excuse to have less ballots than eligible voters. Obviously not every eligible voter will vote but there needs to be at least a decent overshoot of ballots needed for a high turnout election model.
People do mess up their ballots from time to time, and have to request a new one. But that should get recorded.
make that "leery"...
I would think they'd print enough to cover each registered voter.
Someone get over there and verify the "long" lines and crowds of people that require the printing of more ballots. Video...
If they "ran out" it frequently means, I mean it could mean, that ten or twenty thousand got diverted to some other location (where there are three hundred #2 pencils filling in ovals as we speak).
Knowing the makeup of those cities it does sound odd.
Those precincts should be forced to subject themselves to investigation. Force them to mail everyone who voted an acknowledgment. When households with two registered voters receive 5 confirmations, 3 for people they never heard of, you can gauge the amount of 'phantom' voting.
Make them an example, put officials AND voters in jail, and keep doing it to suspect precincts until the rats are AFRAID to commit fraud.
This is BS. Earlier today the reports were higher than normal turnout in traditional Republican areas and lower than normal turnout in the Democratic areas. Local TV showed Bridgeport polling locations and it was nearly empty.
I vote in the same polling location as Blumenthal and Foley and this was the first time there was a line. It took 20 minutes which is usually a quick in n out. One thing they were doing was counting the number of voters against the number of ballots every hour. If the voters done show up, they can be running out of ballots.
So this story from the CT Democratic Secretary of State is bogus on its face. It sounds to me like a Soros operation like they had in Ohio last time.
Some places will have more votes than voters.
The fact that it's Bridgeport and Hartford raises a big red flag. Not that Blumey needs the fraud, the average brain dead resident of the People's Republic of Connecticut will vote for Hitler if he has a (D) after his name. McMahon's no prize but as Beck was saying today ,"that guy [Blumenthal] is pure evil!"
I'd check any dumpsters behind the polling locations to see if any ballots had been thrown out...
oops should be
If the voters dont show up, they cant be running out of ballots.
Blumenthal fraud territory. Connecticut is a liberal shithole overrun with illegals, gangs, and Democrats. You can get a rash just driving thru there.
Once was a great state. Today it is a cesspool.
The chairman of the Connecticut Republicans has filed a complaint with state election officials, saying it was illegal for voters in Bridgeport to use photocopied ballots,,,
Healy says he learned that voting officials at certain Bridgeport polling places made photocopies of a ballot, which he said violates Connecticut's strict procedures for printing, packaging, opening, stamping, storage, delivery and security of election ballots.
They better hope the Democrat wins the attorney general race.
Otherwise some Hartford and Bridgeport folks are going to the slammer.
Linda's campaign needs to have a team of lawyers there now!
"Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee chairman Robert Menendez says legal action has begun to resolve voting irregularities in Connecticut and Illinois.
Democrats are seeking a one hour voting extension in Bridgeport, Connecticut because the town ran out of ballots."
Incredible. They found a guy from the Himes Campaign sitting at a desk in the Registrar's Office, with a laptop and eating donuts.
Chicago politics have come to CT
BRIDGEPORT (AP) - The mayor of Bridgeport has asked Connecticut election officials to keep the polls in his city open until 10 p.m., two hours past closing because of a ballot shortage.
Nancy Nicolescu, spokeswoman for the State Elections Enforcement Commission said Tuesday the secretary of the state does not have the authority to keep the polls open late without a court order.
This so bogus.
CT judge has extended the polls open in Bridgeport until 10pm. 2008 repeat
(WTNH) - With all 23 voting precincts in Bridgeport running out of ballots, a judge agreed with Mayor Bill Finch that polls should stay open until 10pm.
Polls normally close at 8pm in Connecticut.
Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz says election officials only ordered 21,000 ballots in Bridgeport, far short of the 69,000 registered voters in the city.
No Problem Here,they just went to the Copy Machine and Photo copied the Ballots,Of Course they will not go through the Scanners now and must be Hand Counted. I guess they had a Few Car trunks filled with prefilled ballots just enough to win,Jim Himes who voted for Obamacare won by 500 votes ,well that sure followed the Nationwide trend

Fordham's social environment is amazing. The people are nice and there are ton of events to participate in on and off campus.Read More
College is an adjustment for everyone, and some students struggle more than others. I definitely struggled my first year or two, and transferring to a school closer to home was something I considered. That being said, I think it's who you are and what your attitude is more than the college, itself, that really defines the experience you'll have. If you put yourself out there by getting involved with clubs, sports, musical groups, or other activities (AND you have a positive attitude), you'll meet truly wonderful people here. Student clubs always have tons of programming going on throughout the week and on the weekends, so there are always fun, wholesome things to do. There is a large drinking culture, but you definitely don't have to be a part of it to fit in and find a nice group of friends. And of course, there's plenty of other things to do if drinking is not your thing. It's easy to get to the different boroughs of NYC via train, subway, or bus (but sometimes it can take awhile), and there really is always something fun to do in New York and even on right on campus.Read More
I love everything about life at Fordham! To put it simply, I've never had more fun in my life than I have this past semester. Fordham's Campus Activities Board does a great job at planning exciting events and concerts on campus regularly, and there is always something going on to look forward to. Truly though, the most amazing part about Fordham is its proximity to Manhattan and the endless opportunities for entertainment that are a quick subway ride away. I can honestly say it is impossible to be bored while living here. When I want a break from the crazy city life, Fordham's campus is so calm and peaceful that I can relax by a tree and read a book or just hang out in the student center. Whether you crave the hustle and bustle of New York City life or the peace and safety of a lovely tree-filled private campus, Fordham is the place to be.Read More
There is enough diversity here for me to open up and explore different ideas and people, and learn things from different perspectives. Besides enjoying the learning atmosphere, the physical atmosphere itself is breathtaking. It is a world separate from the Bronx neighborhood once you're inside the gates.Read More

And muscle does not weigh more than fat. Muscle is DENSER than fat so takes up less space.
A jar of muscle weighs more than a jar of fat.
There seems to be a lot of conflicting arguements on whether or not it's good to run before breakfast or not to help weight loss.
It seems every article says something different. Does anyone know if there have been any conclusive studies into this?
Don't quote me on this* but I seem to remember a programme where a dietician explained why, technically, running in the morning does have a marginal benefit in terms of calorie burn because of the body clock and metabolic patterns through the day, but the practical conclusion was that the effect is so minimal, the best strategy is: run at the time of day that suits you best, because you're more likely to actually bother.
*Maybe there's some scientific literature on this but I CNBA looking for it. Where's Sarah?
That's not fasting, that's eating one meal a day, many people live like tha all the time, only their one meal will be in the evening.
Why not just work out how many calories you're saving on that day and reduce your weekly total like wise, then you wont be so hungry for one day.
The Kenyan's run on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. It must be ok!!

Marquette County's waterfalls among most striking in region, state
MARQUETTE – With the largest number of waterfalls in the state of Michigan, Marquette County offers numerous opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy these natural wonders.
There are 22 waterfalls in the Marquette area, according to Pat Black, director of the Marquette Country Convention and Visitor's Bureau. And while many griped about the long-lasting winter season, Black stated that it was the extended snowfall that produces the best waterfalls.
"The fact that the snow is lasting like this, as it melts the streams and waterfalls are going to be glorious," Black said.
A few highlighted waterfalls to explore this spring and summer include:
1. Carp River. Morgan Creek Falls (located near Marquette Mountain Ski Area) Directions: From the US41/McClellan Avenue intersection, travel west on McClellan about 2.7 miles to an opening in the guard rail with a truck trail to the right. The correct trail is the last one on the right before the river and ski hill. Take the trail about 1.4 miles to a small parking area on the left. Park and follow the trail down the hill to the creek. Cross the creek on logs either above or below the falls, where the creek meets the river.
2. Carp River-Upper Falls. Directions: From the Carp River/Morgan Creek Falls parking area, travel west about 1/2 mile to an intersection where the main trail continues straight, a small trail goes to the right and an aqueduct goes to the left. Park on the side of the road, follow the foot trail atop the aqueduct to the southwest. Continue up hill on the foot trail for about 10 minutes until you near the very top of the hill and listen for the falls. Just before a small clearing on the hill top, the small falls trail moves up, then down the hill to the south. Less than 100 yards down this trail is a small cleared out elevated falls viewing area. Continue down the game trail to the right for a ground level view of the falls.
3. The Dead River. Directions: From Wright Street take Forestville Road about 2.5 miles to a parking area and circle drive. Park and walk up the hill. Follow the trail up and around to the top, then head left where you see "Falls" painted on the down aqueduct. Take this trail to the river and follow the riverside trail upsteam for one mile along the series of falls.
4. Dead River-Wright Street Falls. Directions: From Lakeshore Boulevard, travel west on Wright Street for about 3 miles to the Marquette Board of Light and Power Office. Park at the "Fisherman's Parking Area" adjacent to the BLP facility. Walk a short distance west to the base of the Wright Street hill where you will see a gate and access area on the right. Proceed past the gate, across the bridge and up the trail to the falls on the left and the aqueduct straight ahead.
5. Warner Creek Falls. Directions: From the M-28 / M-35 intersection east of Negaunee, travel 9 miles south on M-35 to Palmer. As you go through Palmer, the huge industrial complex on your right is the Empire Iron Ore Mine. As you are about to leave the south edge of Palmer, Warner Falls can be seen from M-35, with a small foot trail leading down to the falls.

Fire Up Air Force One: Where Presidents Have Traveled in the Past 25 Years
In the past 25 years, U.S. presidents have made more than 400 official trips abroad. As Barack Obama returns from a visit to Poland, Belgium and France this week, we thought we'd take a look at where he, and his predecessors, traveled.
Out of the past four presidents, George W. Bush tops the travelers list with 137 trips abroad, based on data from the U.S. State Department. Bill Clinton falls one short with 136. So far, Mr. Obama has made 77 official trips abroad in the time he's spent in the White House, and George H.W. Bush traveled 60 times officially.
What's interesting about these data is where the commander-in-chief goes the most often. Overall, France and the U.K. were tied for most visits at 20 since 1989. See the interactive graphic for more detail on each president. Here's a rundown:
Barack Obama: France and Mexico tied at five visits each.
George W. Bush: Russia wins with seven visits during his presidency. Italy and Mexico tied for second with six visits.
Bill Clinton: Italy wins with eight visits.
George H.W. Bush: France tops the list with six visits.
Note: Because of technical problems and political boundary changes in the past 25 years, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, the Palestinian Authority and Vatican City aren't included in these totals. The original map in this post showed only part of Somalia. The map has been corrected. (edited June 9, 2014)

Posted on 01/29/2013 6:34:20 PM PST by massmike
A mother says her 5-year-old boy was threatened with suspension after he made a gun out of Legos during an after school program.
Sheila Cruz received a written warning recently about her son from the after school staff at the Hyannis West Elementary School because he had been using toys inappropriately.
She (the principal) said, its a threat to other children and other children could have been scared.
School officials say little Joe made the toy gun, then ran around the classroom, pointing it at other kids, and making shooting sounds.
Cruz says while she and her husband thought about a new school for Joseph, they dont think they will take the incident any further.
Its not the school we hate, its the actions the school took that we dont like, she said. They made it into something a lot bigger than it should have been.
The superintendent told WBZ-TVs Bill Shields they have a responsibility to make sure the children feel comfortable and not intimidated in school.
Were trying to create an atmosphere of respect, says Barnstable School Superintendent Mary Czajkowski.
(Excerpt) Read more at boston.cbslocal.com ...
I used to make guns out clothes pins when I was 5.
It is better to threaten a five year old than to let that five year old threaten with legos. - nope still not making sense. Guns are threatening so government workers must threaten imaginary guns. Nope still trying to figure out liberal logic. Guns of legos can lead to machine guns of legos - threats are bad so... scare the 5 yr olds so he won't scare others ignoring your bad example... THis is giving me a head ache.
She (the principal) said, its a threat to other children and other children could have been scared.
No wonder so many kids turn into fags.
This has to be one of those 'everyone gets a trophy' schools.
Is this one of the schools that is trying to get rid of giving grades? Aren't bad grades uncomfortable and intimidating?
Wouldn't want any one of those pansy kids thinking someone is smarter than they are.
At work today, someone asked the surgeon whose OR I was working in what time she would finish the surgery. She said, "I'm shooting for five o'clock". Then she retracted that saying "whoops. I apologize everyone. I shouldn't say that word or use that expression any more."
What kind of world do we live in? Honestly...it's depressing. I'd like a work-from-home job so I can just hide out all day.
It's the stupid teacher and system who has a problem.
Predatory authoritarianism in my opinion.
She (the lezbian principal) said "I'll teach them how to use toys".
We use to play cowboys and Indians or army during recess back in the day. Any stick or our fingers would be our guns and the sound of POW, POW, POW would reverberate throughout the playground.
In today's world there would be no boys in elementary school, we would all have been suspended.
The children of today are becoming second generation brainwashed little puppets.
This is so much PC BS.
Hyannis is the the turd world country of Cape Cod! Thanks Dead Ted.
Hyannis is the the turd world country of Cape Cod! Thanks Dead Ted.
What scares me, and should scare every parent with child in that school is that these cretins are overseeing and influencing these young minds. This is the same methodology used to normalize homosexuality. Now they are doing the same with guns. Teach ALL the children that guns are so bad and scary that even a drawing or toy is terrifying and down the road banning guns and denying the Second Amendment is normal.
These so called educators are the scariest thing our children have to deal with in school.
Sorry for double post!
Step #1...national registration of all owners of Lego items along with a 3 month long background investigation.
The enemy is arming their children with hatred for Americans and the desire to wear and die using suicide bombs. At eight years old they carry guns and know how to use them, eagerly anticipating the day they can kill Americans. We are punishing our children for the mere mention of guns and making a pretend Lego weapon.
Any responsible parent should have responded by going to the school and helping all the children build Lego guns. Because guns are only scary if just one is in the room.
Kids Discussing Toy Guns Cause School Lockdown, Heavily Armed Guards Called
A Bronx school was put on lockdown when two children were overheard talking about bringing a toy gun to school. Parents were told that they could not retrieve their children and were forced to wait for school officials to give the "all-clear."
It's an interesting question indeed. Imagine a child who grew up until adulthood without ever being scared. Then you release that adult into any typical city. What will happen to him? Or, to use different words, for how many minutes he will manage to stay alive? He has no fear of cars, for example.
Sad but the schools have been totally feminized and are structured to kill any motivation little boys have in learning. The Principal said it herself, it's all about "feelings". This is yet another example of why boys are failing in our schools and only 40% of current college graduates.
LEGOs are gateway guns
"Cruz says while she and her husband thought about a new school for Joseph, they dont think they will take the incident any further."
The parents aren't pursuing this. We are being tested as a nation and the sheeple are failing miserable. The frog is starting to boil in the pot but nobody is jumping out yet.
I distinctly remember playing "Gunsmoke" with my grade-school pals during recess. bang! bang! Just like my father played Roy Rogers and Gene Autry and Hopalong Cassidy. And my grandfather played Tom Mix and Buck Jones and Jack Hoxie.
Good Lord. America has become such a pathetically demented, pathetically faggy country! I question more and more how many more years it will manage to survive at this rate. Looks like fewer and fewer all the time.
Males must be neutered as early in life as possible.
So, how many people did you kill in your latest psychotic killing spree?
maybe if he made Lego broccoli, that would have been scary.
"LEGOs are gateway guns"
Very funny !
This has already happened with smoking. Kids would come home from school and ask the parents if they were going to die, only to find out that the teacher has told the children that anyone who smokes is going to die and scared the kids to death. Now it is obesity ...the kids are told that overweight people die early and if the child happens to have an obese parent, they are convinced death is upon them.
...but they WON'T teach them the health dangers of "alternative lifestyles".....
When I want to make a statement or an expression of exasperation, I must remember to say "Sh-t" -— instead of "Sho-t"! (Oops — even that came out as menacing!)
Aren't there other parents in these schools who could rise up and say "Enough of this nonsense"??
Starting to boil? In Massachusetts, the schools have been pushing the homo agenda for over a decade.
I've seen or heard of everything up here, but parents here will NEVER give up free babysitting.
Anybody who'd let their 5 year old be warehoused is a monster, IMHO.
Oh, I say, he just needs to be Ritalized -- wouldn't one think? (/heavy_sarc)
(People with ADHD usually have difficulty focusing and controlling their actions. For example, they might speak or act rashly before thinking about the consequences of such behavior. -- according to info on Methylphenidate)
Or maybe Prozacated (/more_sarc)
For Progressives every day is Celebrate Neurosis Day.
You are surprised by the Fascist overreaction by the idiots at this school ?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Man robbed bar in city: police
GLOVERSVILLE – City police said officers arrested a man who robbed a bar and threatened to kill two people.
Edward C. Jones, 53, of 2128 Route 67, was charged with third-degree robbery and two counts of grand larceny, all felony charges.
Police said the incident occurred at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday at the Sacandaga Elks, 120 Washington St. Police said Jones, a patron at the establishment, waited until the other patrons left before striking up a conversation with the bartender and another woman. The conversation led to Jones threatening to kill the pair if the bartender did not cooperate by opening the cash register and giving him money from it, police said.
During the incident, police said, Jones took a phone from one of the victims so the police could not be immediately contacted.
Jones was arraigned in City Court and held without bail.
