Whitney Questions Reason For Gas Well
MAYVILLE – Several questions regarding the gas well located on the Chautauqua County Home property remain unanswered.
The Chautauqua County Legislature's Human Services Committee had invited County Executive Greg Edwards to speak on the topic of the gas well, following questions raised by Legislator Bob Whitney, D-Jamestown.
According to committee chairman Mark Tarbrake, R-Ellington, although he had planned at being at the meeting, Edwards had contacted him to say he would be unable to attend. In lieu of attending, Edwards sent a letter regarding the gas well, which Tarbrake read aloud.
Edwards' letter indicated there has been no change in the status of the gas well over the last year. He said the well is awaiting the final decision on the future of the County Home.
"If the legislature approves the sale of the County Home, no further work will need to be done, and we will have avoided spending approximately $120,000 of county dollars that has zero return to the county," Edwards' letter read.
If the sale of the home is not approved, the letter continued, a local well-driller will be approached to see if he will be willing to install the necessary equipment to attach the well to the County Home, at no cost to the taxpayers.
Whitney, who is not a member of the Human Services Committee, expressed he was dissatisfied with the answer provided in the letter.
"For the record, I wanted a history of why the well was ever drilled, what the total cost was, what the purpose was for drilling the well, if we get reimbursement," he said. "That's what my question was, because that's the question that's getting asked of me."
Whitney also expressed he had been unable to find the answers in past resolutions, and had only been able to find a resolution abandoning the well.
Edwards' letter indicated he would be willing to meet with the committee at a later date to answer any outstanding questions. A later date was not suggested at the meeting.

Can I bring the form directly to
the LA County Recorder?
Yes. If you have time to drive to Norwalk, and wait in line.
Can I mail the form directly to
the LA County Recorder?
Sure. If you have 6 weeks to wait for them to mail it back to you.
Look at it this way; you would pay us $50 just to publish it, and the
County fee is $23 which you also pay. Our Santa Monica office receives
more than 10 DBA's in an average week. . So you could say you pay $32
to us to wait in line and drive for you. ($50 + 23 + 32 = $105).
What might cause them to reject
There are many possible reasons, the most frequent being strikeouts or
cross outs on the form.
Will you provide me with
proof that I published my DBA?
After publishing it 4 times as required by law, we file a Proof of
Publication with the LA County Recorder. They compare it to the
original, and mail it back to you in about 10 weeks. Again, you need
not wait this long to get a copy of the newspaper, which of course also
proves you published your DBA.
Do I need to check and see if
the name is available?
We're a newspaper. For information on intellectual property, you should
consult with an attorney. The L.A. County Recorder will let us file any
Fictitious Business Name you choose, but they recommend that you avoid
choosing a name someone else already has. If you want to see if anyone
else has already recorded the same name, click on this link. The filing
of this statement does not of itself authorize the use in this state of
a Fictitious Business Name in violation of the rights of another under
Federal, State, or common law (See section 14411 at seq. Business and
Profession Code). Speaking of lawyers, you may wish to consult with
one. Again, we are a newspaper, not a law firm.
Do I need to pay someone else to
publish my DBA?
No. You already paid us to publish it! So, if after you pay us, a
newspaper solicits you to publish your DBA in their paper; don't pay
them, you already paid us.
How can I get a Federal Taxpayer
ID Number
Taxpayer Identification Numbers (i.e., Employer Identification Numbers
or EINs), are available online. Click here to apply for an
Employer Identification Number (EIN) Online.
Do you do other types of legal

Do you do incorporations and
We can assist your efforts to file corporations and Limited Liability
Companies (LLCs). An attorney is not required to form a corporation,
however, if you are unsure of the proper procedures or if you need
advice about establishing or operating a corporation, you should
contact private legal counsel. Note that we are not a law firm, and do
not offer legal advice as to what type of business formation, would be
right for you.

Business winners were The Drug Store TDS, first place; Iron Mountain Community Federal Credit Union, second place; and Classic Carpet Care & Restoration, third place.
Miscellaneous winners were Iron Mountain-Kingsford High School Marching Band, first place; First Baptist Church, second place; and Rolling Thunder Farms, third place.
Additional winners will be announced at a later date.
The theme of the parade, which was attended by thousands, was Celebrate! Let the Sound of Freedom Ring Strong and True Forever New.
Police said there were no gaps of standing or sitting room on the sidewalks from Balsam Street to Woodward Avenue to Carpenter Avenue to H Street.
The parade lasted approximately one hour and 45 minutes. It started at 9:30 a.m. following three flyovers by three World War II vintage airplanes.
Iron Mountain Police reported this year's Fourth of July as a quiet day activity-wise.
The Iron Mountain Fire Department put out a few spot fireworks from the annual fireworks display set off Millie Hill Thursday night.
Overall, there were no major incidents reported, police said.
Elsewhere, in lower Michigan, authorities say five people, including two children, were hurt in a suburban Detroit neighborhood when fireworks set off in a street went awry.
A mortar tipped over Thursday night and shot into a Sterling Heights garage. Officials say the people in the area were injured and the 8-year-old girls were taken to a nearby hospital.
One girl suffered serious injuries and the other minor injuries.
The man who set up the fireworks received a violation.
Southern Michigan authorities say a 30-year-man also was injured Thursday in the Calhoun County community of Springfield as he was trying to light fireworks. He was taken to a Kalamazoo hospital with burns and a broken wrist.
In Wisconsin, a suburban Milwaukee fireworks show was cut short after a fireworks technician was injured.
The display at Hales Corners Park started at 9:28 p.m. Thursday but stopped after four bursts of fireworks were fired from a wooded area. Then spectators saw flashing lights on emergency vehicles and sirens.
In a news release Friday, police said the firework exploded on the ground inside the launch tube.
Police say the man suffered a fractured left leg and other injuries to the left side of his body and face.
The rest of the show was canceled. Police destroyed the remaining fireworks.

Hockey alum sets mark
Wednesday, January 11, 2012
Matt Cullen, for SCSU hockey player, skates for the Minnesota Wild of the NHL.
Former St. Cloud State star Matt Cullen skated in his 1,000th National Hockey League game last night, scoring two goals, including the gamewinner.
The crafty center from Moorhead slipped the puck past Antti Niemi in a 5-4 shootout win over the San Jose Sharks Jan. 10 at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.
Cullen, who was born in Virginia, Minn., is one of seven Minnesotans to reach the 1,000 games mark. He shares that honor with former Husky Hockey star Bret Hedican, who played for St. Louis, Vancouver, Florida, Carolina and Anaheim of the NHL.
He skated two seasons (1995-97) for Coach Craig Dahl.
The 1,000 games accomplishment is just one of many for the Moorhead Spud and St. Cloud State Husky. But Cullen has always been about team accomplishments, like helping Moorhead to a state tournament berth every year he played there. Or getting St. Cloud State to the WCHA Final Five both years he played there. Or helping the Carolina Hurricanes to a Stanley Cup title in 2006.
Cullen has always been about the team, and you're not going to hang around for 1,000 games or more if you're not. Fortunately, Cullen brought his attitude to Minnesota for the past two seasons, and he reached a significant milestone in his home state.
While 1,000 games is nice for Cullen, he's more concerned with helping the Wild this season and was a key player in Minnesota's 5-4 shootout win over San Jose at the Xcel Energy Center. Cullen had a third period goal and a goal in the shootout to lead the Wild to the win.
"It's such an incredible accomplishment for any player to do that. And then to see a player like Matt right now, who's playing at the level he's at with the type of season he's having�it's a real credit to how he takes care of himself and what kind of professional he is," said Wild coach Mike Yeo on Cullen's 1,000th NHL game.
Cullen has enjoyed stops at Anaheim, Florida, New York Rangers, Carolina, Ottawa and Minnesota during his NHL career that dates back to 1997.
In two seasons as a Husky, Cullen posted 27 goals and 59 assists from 1995-97. A five-time USA National Team pick, Cullen played for Team USA in the 2006 Olympics.

Thoughts on what wellness really means�and 7 easy strategies for achieving it in your own life.
In today's health-centric world, wellness is a catch-all term that's tossed around left and right. Everyone claims to hold the "secret" to the good and healthy life. �Your crazy runner friend might define "wellness" as running six miles every day and swearing off processed foods. Your hippie-vegan friend might say it's eating plant-based foods and meditating every morning. But do we even know what wellness�really means? And how can we achieve it in our everyday lives? Turns out, wellness is much simpler than you might think. First, though, some basics. What is wellness, from a purely technical standpoint? According to University of California, Davis, wellness is �defined as �an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life.� The World Health Organization describes wellness as �a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.��The National Wellness Institute defines wellness to be �a conscious, self-directed and evolving process of achieving full potential.� So, to put this all in more easily digestible terms, we can think of wellness as a perspective on life that cultivates positivity and healthy habits. Basically, wellness constitutes a whole slew of thoughts, behaviors, emotions and physical states; it encompasses both mental and emotional health. Wellness is important because it can change how you process your emotions and how you behave. The benefits of reaching a stronger sense of wellbeing include lowering stress, reducing risk of illness and growing positive relationships and interactions. The seven dimensions of wellness are occupational, emotional, spiritual, environmental, physical, social and intellectual. Each of these components is vital for optimum health. Wellness is a great way to think about health because it is not a one-size-fits-all definition. Health looks different for everyone, and wellness is understanding what is going to work best for you and what will make you confident wherever you are. Easy Tips to Practice Wellness:� Meditation: Meditating does not require sitting cross-legged, holding your forefinger and thumb together. Meditation can be practiced on your porch, bedroom floor, or even in your car at the end of a long day. It is important to pause throughout the day to breathe deeply and let go of any unnecessary tension. Go Outside: Breathe in the fresh air, observe your natural surroundings and take a walk. Make Healthy Swaps: Take the stairs instead of the elevator, stretch instead of checking your phone when you�re bored, add lemon to your water instead of grabbing juice, or pack your lunch instead of going out. Find a Mantra: Whether it be �up and at �em� or �wherever you are, be all there,� find a phrase you can repeat to yourself throughout the day for a little inspiration. Encourage Others: The more you uplift others, the more positive your thoughts will be. Digital Detox: Turn off your phone for an hour�or for a weekend. Delete an addicting app. Don�t respond to every text you receive. Set Goals: Write goals for your career, health, or anything else to have something to focus on and work toward.

They will have the opportunity to help out and attend PEN public programs, receptions, and other events, and will gain exposure to the wide range of PEN's work, as well as contribute to the newly relaunched website, PEN.org.
The Marketing & Literary Awards internship will involve duties in both the Membership and Literary Awards programs. In support of Membership, interns will research potential new authors, check applicant references, help with renewal mailings, and support the maintenance of the program's database and online presence, especially with new editorial features for the recently relaunched PEN.org. Supporting Literary Awards, interns will process submissions for the 2013 awards cycle, edit PEN's website to reflect information about judges and winners, and provide administrative support to PEN award judges.

My spouse already thinks I've lost my mind, but then, we've been married 29 years...
What would be a good Pu to try first time out. I'd prefer one that does not taste like the bottom of a fish tank, not that there's anything wrong with that!
Recommended sources and a recommeded year/name/etc. would be greatly appreciated.
I've been looking at Puershop and other web sites for hints. I realize Pu is a bit of an aquired taste - and so I'm looking for entry level goodness...not overly concerned about price but would prefer an entry level price even if it's a sample.

A $10,000 bachelor's degree is a realistic goal, writes Publius Audax, a humanities professor at a Texas university, on Pajamas Media. Gov. Rick Perry wants state universities to offer a low-cost path to a degree. Texas should pick 25 of the most important and popular majors and design three-year bachelor's programs, Audax proposes. Then the curriculum could be streamlined by "eliminating all electives and standardizing all required courses." The state would need 412 courses to meet requirements in 25 majors.
Select the state's top scholars and scientists to design the courses, videotaping the best lecturers, purchasing the copyright of the best textbook materials, and designing a suite of web-based learning tools. This would require a significant one-time investment of approximately $500K per course, for a total of $200 million.
. . . Require all state universities to offer all 412 courses to their students at a cost of only $250 per, plus $400 per semester for registration services and IT support. If a student took five courses per semester for three years, the total cost per student of the degree would be $9,900. Each student would be given free access to the state's library of videotaped lectures, the online textbooks, and the web-based tools. The university would provide online discussion sections and laboratory sections.
For each instructor teaching 150 students, the state university would receive $75,000 in tuition, he calculates, not counting the administrative fee.
The low-cost, low-touch degree would be backed by an exam to demonstrate mastery.
Provide mandatory state-wide standardized tests for each year of each program, providing an accurate measure of student learning. The College Learning Assessment, as well as CLEP and GRE Subject exams, could be used to measure students' progress in critical thinking, logic, writing skills, and discipline-specific competencies.
Well-prepared, motivated learners could earn a $9,900 degree in three years. The average college student, shaky on math and writing skills and used to hand-holding in high school, isn't likely to make it without a lot more support. But it would be very interesting to see how many students would rise to the challenge in hopes of saving time and money.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Marina Love it!!! high quality fishing rod I ordered this for my husband present he love it!!! February 28, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by oneshot Mojo Surf 10'6" I received the Mojo Surf rod ahead of schedule from Dicks! Getting ready to pair up with a Penn Battle II reel and will be trying it out for striper this Fall! August 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Pogo58 St. Croix Mojo Surf 2-Piece Spinning Rod Rod was received in good order and was very well packed indicating care was taken. I was well informed of the delivery time accurartely, so my expectations were properly set. Thr rod arrived as indicated. The rod itself is well built and should be a dream to use when surf fishing. Additionally, I bought the 11' rod to round out my arsenal and should have a terrific time at Assateaque Island this fall when the striper return long with the Red drum. July 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by RiverRat A rocket launcher!! Mojo 10'6 3/4-4 MM I bought this rod with striped bass in mind. I fish the tailwaters of a dam the releases water every hour on the hour that turns the river into raging whitewater. I wanted a rod that wont wear me down and that I can fish as comfortably as a largemouth or smallmouth outfit. I throw custom spook style lures and metal lip danny swimmers I make myself in the 1-3oz range along with pencil poppers in the 2-2 1/2oz range. This rod it top notch!!!!! loads lures in the 2oz range like a nitro powered sling shot with a Penn SSV 5500 loaded with 30lb 832 Sufix braid an 80lb power swivel with a 3 ft 40lb mono leader with a snap on the end. I also throw 1/2oz jigheads with Zoom Super Flukes on them and Zara Saltwater Spooks around 1 oz and Diawa SP minnows and Bomber Longs A's. This rod handles everything I throw for striped bass very nicely. Its light and can be fished all day without fatigue and very sensitive. It truely does feel almost like a 1 peice with flex all the way down to the reel seat half. Its not a 50/50 2 peice more of a 25/75 or 20/80 2 peice with all the guides on the upper peice. The guides are braid only and control the line almost perfectly (not 1 wind not so far). If I had to find something bad to say (which for me there is almost nothing bad to say about this rod) it would be the plastic butt cap not being a rubber butt cap but I plan on putting one of those rod balancers on the end (the plastic one can slide around easy if you rest it on a rail or hardwood floor in your house). I'm also a fine of cork grips VS eva type stuff but I REALLY! do love the grip on the rod its an eva/shrink wrap type of material. Dick's service was fast and great as well. I will most deffinately consider buying another one in the future. Keep your line tight hooks sharp and good luck on the water! May 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dic7771 The best brand Rods Very light, well made, sexy, and slick look that you can tell was well made just from the looks. My fourth st. Croix rod and never had an issue with any of them besides normal wear and tear and im also a barbarian so they are made very durable and would highly recommend this product. February 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Deffusion Price vs Performance vs Cost Great Product!!! Not sure you can get a better surf rod with this performance for this price? I really like the product and when compared to less costly alternatives from other manufactures. I am happy I spent the extra $$ and went with the Mojo Surf. August 6, 2013

Ron Guth: The two most obvious differences on 1804 Half Cents relate to the 4 of the date. On some coins the horizontal crossbar of the 4 ends with a vertical crosslet; on others the 4 has no crosslet. The Plain 4 is slightly more common than the Crosslet 4.
The Plain 4 obverse is combined with two different reverse types: Stems at the base of the wreath and No Stems at the base of the wreath.
Only one die variety (Cohen 11) qualifies as the Plain 4, Stems variety.
Uncirculated examples of the 1804 Plain 4, Stems Half Cent are very rare, especially with even a trace of original red color. Low-end circulated examples can be found without too much difficulty, but high-end AU examples are quite scarce.

In short: Terrific support despite awful weatherIn full: I really enjoyed this race the first five miles around the town flew by and meant that by the time you headed out into the country you were nearly half way (ish). Lovely little country roads must be lovely in good weather! Despite the cold and rain marshals were unfailingly cheerful and encouraging and so many locals came out to support - huge thanks to all involved. My second HM after the (overrated) Royal Parks half and pb'd by 7 minutes so I'm happy :). Hopefully the locals will forgive us for turning Calthorpe Park into a mud bath ...Date of review: March 18, 2013
In short: Great run, route was well martalled and lots of cheering on the way, definatly on my list for next year.Date of review: March 18, 2013

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (66 votes).
In short: mud-warm hospitality-mud-vertical gradient hills-mud-great marshalling & more mudDate of review: March 2, 2011
In short: Mud,hills, then more mud and more hillsIn full: Fantastic event. Organisation was perfect, friendly and very runner focused. Evil course, with endless mud and hills, but made worthwhile by free tea and cakes at the end. Marshalls couldn't have been more helpful.Date of review: February 28, 2011
In short: I love this race!In full: This is my second Plod and I loved it just as much as the first. The course was as hard as nails and the weather a bit manky later on, but the smiles of the marshalls and the support of spectators (and a bunch of very pink clad ladies at Old Winchester Hill) took the mind off the pain. The embroidered gym towel was a nice finisher's treat - much more useful than a T-shirt.Thanks to the organisers for making this a special race. I was doing this again as a training run for a marathon but I secretly looked forward to it more than I am the marathon itself.Date of review: February 28, 2011
In short: mud, brilliant, mud, cake, mud, rain, mud, cold, mud.In full: Brilliantly organised and well marshalled, despite some horrible weather in the second half. The mud made what would be an already tough event a real challenge but I didn't encounter anyone who was too down about it - lots of fun had by all. The hosing down of shoes at the end was a great touch, as was the cake and hot drinks (amazing lemon drizzle cake). The only problem I had was getting out of the "car park" - the field we parked in was not in a great condition by the end and I ended up helping push a van out of the mud, and having my car pushed out of the mud in return. Can't be helped though - just one of those things.Date of review: February 28, 2011
In short: Brilliant but brutalIn full: I loved this race. But be warned - it's not for the feint hearted. No need to bang on about the mud - you can read that in all the other reviews. What I will bang on about, though, is the absolutely top level organisation; this is how to put on an event; anyone thinking of organising something like this should speak to Sharon - she is the business! The Marshalls (with a capital M!)deserve all the above credit, and more; not at all sure I could do it with such good humour. Well done to everyone involved. Everyone. You know who you are.Date of review: February 28, 2011
In short: Enjoyable and friendly but hard trail race - very hillyIn full: Seemed longer than 20.3 miles. Fairly dry for the first half but mostly covered in thick chalky mud in the last few miles. Some of the hills had both contouring and mud which was awkward. A lot of hopping from side to side to find some grass to run on. Many puddles!Date of review: February 28, 2011
In short: Very very tough, but a lesson in how to organise a raceIn full: That was really, really hard! Hills, rain, mud and a lingering cold all combined to make this one of the most challenging races I have done. A massive thank you to all at PJC - a huge amount of thought clearly goes into organising what must be a really tough race to run. Superb refreshments during and after, incredibly supportive marshalls and local perople and great value.I'll be back again, but will definitely treat it with a bit more respect next time! Date of review: February 28, 2011
In short: 7 times now, says it all. I love this raceIn full: First half this year was very pleasent, running in the sun. Before the finish though the MVP that i love returned. Wind, rain, mud, slippery mud. Last year i said "why can i only do this one once a year". I stand by that.PJC show us all how to organise a race. They are generous in their support, medal and towel, tea, cakes and everything you can think of.I love this event and i will be back again next year.It takes a lot to make my legs ache the day after, they do today.Thank you so much for organising the Meon Valley Plod.Date of review: February 28, 2011
In short: Hills, very sticky mud, and a big smile all the way round. Boy is it tough!In full: I'd just like to give my thanks to PJC and all who gave their time today.If you've never done this race and are looking through here to decide, then decide no more. Enter now, you will not regret it.I ran with a smile, I finished with a smile, all thanks to the myriad marshals handing out drinks, jelly beans, fruit pastilles, cake, mars bars, bananas etc without which I'd have never made it round! Along the route not only were the marshals highly encouraging but also the amount of locals who came out to watch and cheer the runners on. My special thanks go to the Pink Ladies just after the 7m mark who you could hear for a while before, and a while after. Being able to hear them cheering very vocally every runner for the best part of 10% of the race was very lifting. The camaderie amongst the runners was special, keeping each other going through the tough timesThis was my first and it certainly lived up to the toughness I'd been led to expect, and exceeded that. My heartfelt thanks for putting this race on and to all those people that allow us to run across such beautiful ground.Date of review: February 27, 2011
In short: One of the hardest races I have done, but also one of the best ran races, well done PJC and all the great marshallsDate of review: February 27, 2011

I'm just throwing this posting in so we can start letting each other know when were playing. (mostly the house)
It would also be cool to start letting each other know when we played last and how many showed.
I know of a few more fields about to open this summer that will also be cool.
Also spread the love about Tech PB so everyone will start going off this and learn of what the people of this awesome site is doing for paintball.
Can't wait to play with all of you.
See you on the 50.

At No Cost
What it takes to host an unsanctioned trail race
Illustration by Meg Bisharat
A chunk of discontents look at today's race fees with disgust. $25 for a 5K? A $300 marathon? I get it: insurance, course markings and, for all that's holy, GU. But the spirit of racing has been thrust to the margin, pricing folks like me away. Now what? Do what I did: host your own.
I had two days.
Friday the 13th, I scrambled. I wondered if I should use Pearl Izumi's site for my race because they harbor the same spirit: "Running. What was once a bona fide sport now more closely resembles a corporate-sponsored exercise class."
Pearl Izumi's Cassie King said, "At Pearl, we're big supporters of real runners and racing. With the growth of 5Ks and Turkey Trots a lot of people are frustrated. Some people want to avoid race fees and get back to what racing is about and that's racing."
Even Strava.com hopped aboard. Using their GPS-driven training tracking software, you post times to leader boards thus enabling users to "race." They largely accommodate cyclists, but have since recruited runners.
While both apps look inviting, I chose to do it alone, much like Neal Beidleman did in 1984 when he started the Basic Boulder Mountain Marathon in Boulder, Colorado. It didn't take long before a couple dozen runners blew up to a couple hundred.
"I wanted to get out of bed, start at my front door and end at my front door," Beidleman said of his idea to start the race.
This rebellion embeds itself into the fabric of the trails. "Fact is, trail running is an extension of free will," said Beidleman. "It's anti-establishment, you and the trail. The nature of unsanctioned racing is in line with the spirit of trail running."
I live near a gnarly trail network in Saratoga Springs, New York. The rocks and roots would challenge Lolo Jones.
I leaned on the runners I knew from the local specialty running shops. I texted, I called and I created a Facebook event. I received a "Mmmaybe," which meant no, and then Ken Little replied. ... Ken looks like Michelangelo's David in split shorts and hungers for competition (he once challenged me to see how fast we could screw spikes into a pair of Nike Victories).
I contacted Alex Paley, a string bean who wins road races all over the Capital Region. He shared the race on Facebook.
I messaged Renee Tolan, a zipster who promised to bring company.
In 24 hours, nine committed. Now to map a course.

Thanks to all who replied. I tried it tonight, and while I really liked the flavor, I was very surprised that the citric acid bothered me significantly such that I won't be continuing with it. It is rare that I experience this, but it just didn't agree with me.
I prefer the 7/11 over tomato magic. I like the skins in the sauce. I tried the Sclafani NJ tomatoes (bought a case) and still prefer the 7/11's. That was tough to admit because I am a NJ native and love the NJ homegrowns. I add some grated DOP Romano Pecorino, a tad of dried oregano, tad of fresh crushed garlic, and a bit of EVOO, to the 7/11's. I add the same to TM when I have used it. Walter
Glad you shared all that, Walter, because I was curious if there was a little oregano in your sauce. I thought I tasted just a hint of oregano, and that's what I thought gave your sauce a whole different dimension than when I've made NY style pizzas with 7/11. I've never really cared much for oregano in NY style sauce, but you changed my mind yesterday because your sauce had just the right amount. The right amount = just enough to make me wonder if there was oregano in the sauce.
A friend that works at a restaurant uses this recipe for pizza sauce.3 Cans Tomato Magic1 1/2 cups Oregano1/3 cup Salt1/3 cup Fine Black Pepper1/4 cup Granulated Garlic1/4 cup Chopped GarlicI am sure that they are using three #10 Cans of Tomato magic, so you will have to do the math to reduce the recipe to make it work for one # 10 Can. You might even want to scale it down to a 1/4 amount of the #10 can Tomato magic and see if you like it or not?TomNPSI would be interested in your feedback.
I would be interested in your feedback.

One thing that helps is to doodle so I pulled out my composition book of ideas and started doodling. The doodling became ideas for a September Challenge of memoir writing. I wrote all kinds of thoughts and ideas:
As I thought about this on the last day of driving and ever since I wondered if I should do this in October, but no, it won't leave me alone so I'm going to do this project starting September 4.
The main thing about this project is it involves YOU. I want to help others develop the habit of writing, help you get your memories down on paper, and have fun.
Are you going to join me? The first step is to get or roundup some supplies. We will be working in a Composition book which are still on sale at some stores for .50. While you are there in the back-to-school section pick up a few other things that catch your eye. A pencil bag, sticky notes, pens, highlighters, a glue stick, index cards. These are the main things we will be using. However, stickers, colored pencils, and other fun things can be added.

I found a 20 oz stick of this at a local Italian deli. It'll be awhile before I get around to using it because I have a lot of Margherita pepperoni that I cut thinly with my handy Krups slicer and vacuum packed. I'll be having a lot of pepperoni and sausage pizzas this summer. Heart attack in the Fall. http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/Smileys/enhanced/pizzapie.gif
Since you have peaked our interest can you possibly find it in your heart to cut into this new stick ...or would that send you into a tizzy...
I'll get to it as soon as I can but the freezer is packed with a lot of protein that I need to use first. I could barely find room for some leftover chili WITH BEANS that I made in the pressure cooker the other day.
Lol, yeah it probably tastes like bologna!

Fatal crash in Watford City area
Shameful sports behavior
The death of a youth soccer referee in Utah last week after being punched in the head by a 17-year-old player is a sad commentary on the lack of respect for sports officials everywhere.
Certainly an official dying as a result of a confrontation with a player is rare, but incidents of a less-serious nature happen all-too-often. And it happens locally, too.
Have you ever been to a high school sporting event in the Minot area and witnessed out-of-control behavior by a coach, a player, a parent or other spectator? Chances are you've seen an obnoxious parent hurling four-letter words at the umpire of a T-ball game. Or you've watched players, fans and coaches berate officials far beyond the normal back-and-forth conversations involved in a high school basketball game.
In Utah, Ricardo Portillo died Saturday, a week after he was punched in the head by a player in the youth soccer game he was officiating. The player was angry after being given a yellow card. Is that an excuse to punch an official?
Sports can help teach young participants a multitude of life lessons, like how to handle winning, how to handle losing, and how to be part of a team. Sports can bring out leadership qualities, but they can also expose some participants as bullies, sore losers and complainers. Unfortunately, self-control is sometimes overlooked by some coaches, parents and players as a skill necessary for success in the sports world.
Think about your own behavior when you attend any sporting event, especially when your child is playing, or when you are playing. If someone videotaped your behavior during the game, would you be proud to watch the video later? Would you be embarrassed? Yes, we know winning is important, but so is sportsmanship. Part of a parent's role is to help educate children on appropriate behavior in different aspects of life. If as a parent or a player, you can't control your emotions at a game, what does that say about you?
We love sports and the spirit of competition, and there are constant reminders of that spirit being used to uplift a team, a town or an individual. Those are the sports moments we cherish. Sadly, the tragic death of a referee last week has overshadowed those moments.

The Language of Faith
True faith originates in our core being. We are not saved by mental awareness, warm emotions, or even intellectual assent. Rather, it's "with the heart one believes unto righteousness" (Romans 10:10, NKJV). Faith deeply believes God will do what He says. Faith produces words of agreement and actions of obedience. The corresponding words and actions are simply evidence that our heart has laid hold of what God has spoken. read more

The recently opened R.A.W. Gallery presents its first solo show with Kyle Boganwright, a fine artist in his final year at CCAD.
Boganwright's work is varied, but this show will feature ink and watercolor pieces heavily influenced by Ralph Steadman's pop surrealism, Basquiat, and Boganwright's study of history and mythology.
The exhibit's theme is professionals at their worst and acting most unprofessional.

A goodbye to cursive writing
"Oh, your writing is so pretty!" said my young friend to me recently as I was addressing some envelopes. "My writing isn't that good."
She's a teenager, old enough that she at least knows what cursive writing is and to have had some instruction in it. As I understand it, that will likely soon end, now that cursive writing has been dropped from the Common Core curriculum in our public schools. With 40 of our 50 states adopting the core curriculum, some 80 percent of public schools are phasing out cursive in favor of computer skills.
So the looping letters of flowing script, also known as handwriting, will someday be a thing of the past. Perhaps this has been the direction we're headed for some time, but it sounds like there is no turning back now.
When one communicates by the keyboard, all the letters on the page look alike. It's like a snowflake, or a human face. No two are alike. There is no personality to a printed page, not like someone's handwriting that is unique. During my recent file purging I came across several cards and notes my grandma had written to me, and they made me smile because the writing was just so her.
Even more unusual, I found just one or two cards where my dad had written a line or two or even just his name. Just to see his unique scrawl again meant a lot to me.
It just wouldn't be the same if those words were typed on a keyboard and printed on a page. Handwriting flows, but words on a page don't.
Remember practicing your writing in elementary school? And the teacher would give you instruction on making your loops more uniform, the T taller, or maybe the o rounder. Those green cards that showed the perfect cursive form of every letter of the alphabet, capitals and lower case, were lined up on the wall end to end around the classroom as a sample of how students should be writing. As a young student, I recall that sometimes such a task seemed quite daunting to me.
Sure, I understand that cursive writing is something we no longer need in this fast-paced world where we communicate by cell phones and texts and emails and social media and instant messaging. And I understand that our limited school budgets are put to better use teaching a keyboarding course in order to equip today's students for college and tomorrow's world.
One article I read on the topic pointed out that one's handwriting is seen by others much less than it was in the past. Even so, I will miss seeing the distinctive handwriting of my friends and my children. Maybe I'd best save samples of it now while I can.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GaryD Excellent Travel shirt My recent purchase of these shirts(2) was to replace some of the same shirts that I have worn out from wear. These are comfortable shirts. Love the pockets and the security pocket that I use for passport or for plane tickets etc. My other shirts I have had for years, so it was time for an update. Ordered new colors and am very pleased.

Rated 5 out of 5 by scotru Great for travel This shirt is great for travel especially in places where pick pockets are an issue. I placed my valuables in the top pocket that zips and buttons. That plus a jacket over it gives a fairly good protection. It was comfortable and avoided excessive wrinkles and so was able to wear it more than one day when necessary. Will buy a second for sure.

What would education be like if students knew how to pose, prioritize, and use their own questions? Vastly better than it is now, argue Dan Rothstein and Luz Santana, authors of Make Just One Change: Teach Students to Ask Their Own Questions (Harvard Education Press, 2011). If students learned how to formulate good questions, according to the authors, they'd be that much closer to becoming "independent thinkers and self-directed learners" and practitioners of "democratic deliberation."
On the face of it, the idea sounds terrific. The ability to ask good questions can enhance both individual lives and common culture. Many people need special instruction in this skill; most of us have room for improvement. I am not convinced, though, that any of this requires the elaborate group processes that Rothstein and Santana describe.
The research started when the authors were working in a dropout prevention program. They heard from parents that they wouldn't come to meetings at school because they "didn't even know what to ask." Rothstein and Santana began by giving them questions but then realized that this was only increasing their dependency—that they needed to know "how to generate and use their own questions." Over time, the authors developed a technique for teaching just that. They and others founded the Right Question Project, now known as the Right Question Institute, which teaches the technique to people around the country and abroad.
The book explains the Question Formulation Technique, which consists of six components: (a) a Question Focus; (b) a process for producing questions; (c) an exercise for working on closed and open-ended questions; (d) student selection of priority questions; (e) a plan for the next steps; and (f) a reflection activity. The authors provide numerous case studies to show how these components have played out.
Before starting the process, students are introduced to the four rules: "(1) Ask as many questions as you can; (2) Do not stop to discuss, judge, or answer any of the questions; (3) Write down every question exactly as it was stated; and (4) Change any statements into questions." Students are supposed to reflect on these rules before proceeding. The authors explain:
The rules ask for a change in behavior, officially discouraging discussion in order to encourage the rapid production of questions. Students thus need to think about how they usually work individually and in groups. They name their usual practices and become aware of how they generally come up with ideas. They then must distinguish their present learning habits from what the rules require of them.
After receiving their Question Focus from the teacher, the students begin producing questions in groups. They are reminded to ask lots of questions and to refrain from judging, answering, or editing them. The teacher is not supposed to give examples of questions, even if the students are having difficulty.
From here, the students work on improving the questions. [Read more…]

Answer 1 by Jan Hilbi
Hi Fiona, What an exciting time for you! There is a tremendous need for creativity in engineering, so your talents will be put to good use. An area of engineering that comes quickly to mind: biomedical/neural engineering. This encompasses a broad spectrum in engineering; artificial intelligence, robotics, the development of medical devices and considerably more. The medical engineering field in general, offers great potential for an inventive mind. Maybe the environment is your passion. You might want to consider Environmental engineering or Ocean engineering. But then nanotechnology is also fascinating... All of these fields offer cutting edge opportunities that require using your imagination to create a vision of tomorrow. The same can be said for both electrical and mechanical engineering - they work hand-in-hand with all of the engineering disciplines listed. One place to explore options is Wikipedia. They have a great list of engineering disciplines and sub-disciplines with decent descriptions. The trick is to find your passion and then identify the field of engineering that will let you play while you create solutions. If the work you do is fun, your creative energies will help you produce interesting and inventive solutions. Good luck with your studies, let us know how you do! Cheers! Jan

Topic: How many lines? Why/when to refactor?
In general, when you are writing your code, what do you consider 'too many' lines for methods and classes? How many methods do you try to limit a class to? I've been bombarded with the standards for other languages, but Rails pulls so much out of the code that methods that would be 50 lines in PHP are now 5.
I am working (with someone else's code) where there are 25 methods in under 500 lines, but it seems like so much is going on. I'm hoping to refactor it, but I need some strong justification to do it.
What are your thoughts on line counts/refactoring in general, and tips for aproaching people more concerned with getting everything out as quick as we can and not too worried about DRYing it out?

Parkhurst positive about Crew return
The Columbus Dispatch - May 24, 2014 11:02 PM
It's been a rough couple of days for Michael Parkhurst, but that doesn't cut him much slack inside the Crew locker room.
Moments after the former United States World Cup hopeful had played the final three minutes plus stoppage time of tonight's 2-0 win against Chicago, Parkhurst was surrounded by reporters at his locker inside Crew Stadium as Steve Clark entered the locker room. The blue-clad goalkeeper sized up the situation and began to shout over the commotion – jokingly – that Parkhurst had played a mere six minutes in the win.
"It was a solid six though, Steve," Clark said with a laugh.
The fact that Parkhurst was able to make light of the situation shows in part why he has already become such a vital part of this year's Crew roster. The team captain was treated to a loud, standing ovation from those of the 15,290 fans who remained until the very end.
It was a positive ending to an otherwise bitterly disappointing week for Parkhurst, who came back to Major League Soccer during the offseason with an eye on consistent minutes with the Crew propelling him into a spot on the World Cup roster. Instead, he was one of seven players who were surprisingly dismissed Thursday afternoon.
Tonight, he held his head high at Crew Stadium.
"I don't think there's anything I could have done more," he said. "I don't think there was anything negative on my part that made him (coach Jurgen Klinsmann) not choose me. I just think that his mind was set up even before the camp was started. That makes it a little easier to swallow knowing I don't think I could have done anything else."
The roster moves came as a surprise, Parkhurst said.
"It's tough," he said. "We didn't know that the cuts were coming that day, so no expectations there. It's difficult of course. That was the ultimate dream, but you have to bounce back and be a professional. Now my sole focus is the Crew."
Friday, Crew coach Gregg Berhalter said Parkhurst would largely determine his own availability for the game after Friday's cross-country flight. After the game, Berhalter said asking Parkhurst to play a full 90 minutes would have been too much.
"He wanted to play, but I didn't think it was worth the risk because of potential injury after all of that travel and training," Berhalter said. "It was good to get him on the field and it's good to have him back."
Eric Gehrig replaced Parkhurst in the starting lineup. It was Gehrig's first appearance of the season.
"I've been with Michael now for (a few) months and he's honestly one of the classiest guys I've met in the game of soccer in my entire life," Gehrig said. "He's got that thing about him where when he walks in you can tell the genuineness and how nice of a guy he is. He's been first-class since he's gotten here both on and off the field. Obviously we feel for him but at the same time we're happy to have him back.
"I'm sure he appreciated the ovation. I could hear it. It was a cool moment and something he's going to appreciate."
In his limited time, Parkhurst had a few touches and played left back while the Crew closed out the shutout. Berhalter and Parkhurst both praised the fans for the ovation they delivered when he entered the game. As the Crew's players saluted the Nordecke cheering section after the final whistle, players such as Federico Higuain and Wil Trapp – who took over the captain's armband in his place – embraced Parkhurst one by one.
"He's been through a lot in these last couple days, and it's nice for him to know that everyone supports him," Berhalter said. "It's the team, it's the fans, it's the community, and that's really nice."
As he stood inside the locker room, Parkhurst said it helps to have teammates able to deliver a ribbing.
"Absolutely it's good to be back around the guys," he said. "I wanted to come back here and get back to business as quick as possible and get my mind off of it and focus here on the Crew."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nirvana Attractive rug This is a very attractive rug of golds, reds, and light blues. It is, of course, not an oriental and does not look like one. But assuming this is not an issue, it is recommended. It is under our dining room set, so unfortunately the pretty center design is not very visible. Looks very much as pictured. So far, it has not shed. August 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karakosha anatolia pasture Perfect! Just like advertised and looks the same as on the picture. Thank you very much. Very happy with the purchase. March 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by remrem Couldn't be happier I ordered a rug with some trepidation, on line, for our family room. But, it's perfect! The colors were as shown. I got the blue Anatolia Pastures and am delighted. It is a thick rug (I think luxurious is a better word) and over our cherry wood floor it gives just the cushion our 7 month old grandson needs. Easy ordering and excellent service. February 4, 2012

Artists: Big Gus
Art Junkies
14757 Bear Valley Rd.
Hesperia, CA 92345
Web: biggusink.com
Instagram: instagram.com/biggusink
What year did you start tattooing?
Professionally, in 1997, at a shop called Distinctive Ink.
How did you get involved in the industry?
My boys where I grew up had tattoos all around me, so it was part of my environment at the young age of 14.
Your online bio states that you started tattooing professionally around age 22, but first started doing it unprofessionally at age 14. What was tattooing like for you at such a young age?
It was crazy. I really didn't know what I was doing, but my friends wanted me to tattoo them because I was able to draw fairly well.
What brought you to work in the black-and-gray realism style?
Well, that's simple. Growing up in our streets of Los Angeles, CA, that's all you would see is black-and- gray Chicano art. As I grew as an artist I would go to the liquor store, look at tattoo magazines, and specifically look for Freddy Negrete, Jack Rudy, and Paul Booth. I wanted to do ink like them.
You are one of the three artists on Spike TV's tattoo cover-up show, Tattoo Nightmares. What brought you to specialize in cover-ups?
I did cover-ups [before the show] but not as often as I do now. Then I was asked to do this show on Spike TV. First thing I asked was, "Is this a drama show?" because I'm not into that. Long story short, they said, "no," and I was all in. I figured as a tattoo artist, other artists—especially young ones—look up to that. I would take and accept this challenge of doing cover-ups on this show Tattoo Nightmares. But I am no expert by any means, as I believe I just have learned to adapt to my new job as a cover-up artist.
What is your convention circuit like?
Oh man, that's my life! I travel a lot for work, mostly supporting my friends' shows on the circuit and helping as much as I can with this new popularity I have gained. I love sharing that with my tattoo family. Let's just say at times I live in hotels and airports and my house is just an expensive storage unit, 'cause my ass is never home!
Who are some of your main artistic inspirations?
Wow, that question can be a whole interview on its own, but at the moment I love going to museums around the world, studying other masters, sculptures, buildings. Many things inspire my mind. I have a few friends that I am very blessed to learn from that are masters in this day and age. Kevin Llewellyn, Michael Hussar, and Shawn Barber influence me heavily as a student in the art of oil painting.
You are also a graffiti artist. How does graffiti relate to tattooing, and vice versa?
As a graffiti artist, I bring my style into certain designs as a tattoo artist; and as a tattoo artist, I bring my fine-line photorealism into my graff work, making it look a lot more realistic and less stylized.
What other mediums do you work in?
Oils, acrylics, airbrush, watercolor. If you can draw with it I can do art with it. [Laughs.] I like to write on walls with crayons, and painting by number is super fun!
What advice do you have for someone before they get tattooed?
First, look up the artist. Any artist with any good work will have some social media stuff out there. Look to see if their work is consistent. Also, visit the artist before making your decision. See if you both feel each other on the tattoo idea you are bringing to him. This will help to make sure the artist's style matches your vision for your tattoo. Also, make sure the artist works in a clean, well-known shop. Your health is very important. At all times make sure they have the proper education on blood-borne pathogen control.
What artists have tattooed you?
Oh man, myself. [Laughs.] Also, Bob Tyrrell, Corey Miller, Tony Olivas, Carlos Torres, Alan Padilla, Tommy Montoya, Mr. Flaks, and Ska. Still not done with my back piece being done by my brother Mike Demasi, and my ribs are going to be Josh Duffy. They're all like family to me and I'm honored to have ink by all of them.
How has the reputation of tattooing changed since you've been in the industry?
I believe it's changed in a positive way. Artists are more open-minded. Artists work with each other, instead of like the old days, when artists could not even tell each other what needles they would use. So it's nice to see this change and so many new styles of tattoo art being born. This is also due to the huge number of tattoo artists coming from art backgrounds in fine art.
What brought you to work at Art Junkies?
My best friend, Mario Rosena, and my brother Mike Demasi—they have been big influences on me as a person and artist. Being around them is always a positive thing; I love them both, as they have helped me become a better man and artist. And not to mention, our crew is sick. Tim McEvoy, Brent Olson, Dagger Face, and Ryan Mullins be killing it. One of our newest to the family, Scott, has grown to be a great artist as well. Pretty amazing artists have come from this shop, like Nikko Hurtado, Mike DeVries, Dark Horse, (a.k.a. Aric Taylor) and so many others have blessed the inside walls of Art Junkies.
Are there any up-and-coming artists that the industry should look out for?
Tim McEvoy, Ryan Mullins, Brent Olson, and Rich Pineda. There are so many young, great artists; it's insane. I love it.
We've heard you really like to fish. How did you get into that?
I got into it from a friend of the family who took me fishing and would take us to the park as kids. We didn't have a father, and this man would take us and show us amazing things about the outdoors. Mr. Studdel was a great friend to us and served this country in WWII. He has everything to do with my love for fishing—and fishing, oh man, fishing is my way to escape from the everyday hustle. I love being in the ocean or in the river all alone. It seems so surreal that these places exist in this crazy world. It's my way of rebooting my mind for my clients and giving them my 100 percent of drawing ability.
If you could tattoo anyone with any design, who would it be and of what design?
My mother, who passed away when I was 19. I would tattoo some pencils and brushes on her with a little note that says, "Thank you for giving me the gift of life. Love, your son Big Gus." I miss her more than you could imagine, but at least she taught me to be good, to learn from my mistakes, and to draw to clear my mind of all that is bothering me at the moment, which I will pass on to my daughter, Breezy!
Anything you would like to add?
Thank you for this opportunity to show those kids who struggle and draw every day that they can feel like they belong somewhere on this planet. Your art will always take you to where you truly want to be. Always believe in yourself. Dreams do come true—you just have to work hard and commit to the art within yourself.

Is it possible that the Memorial reverse has been around for over 40 years? Yes, it's true! If you were around in 1959 then you remember the rumors that all the new Lincoln cents were being recalled because they wouldn't stack. Not true, of course, but still another tiny segment of our rich numismatic history. Today the 1959 to date Lincoln cents are the launching pad for a new generation of collectors.
Notes: This set has bonuses. Please see the Set Composition for a listing. This set is a work in progress. As new varieties are graded, they may be added to the set. Delisted coins may be removed.
