Forestville Village Board appoints new attorney, OKs water payments
FORESTVILLE – The Forestville Village Board had a full agenda at its regular meeting. Two resolutions concerning the water project were passed, a new village attorney was appointed and a special meeting was scheduled for April 30 at 7 p.m. The meeting will have the village budget on the agenda and possibly other items.
In addition, the board discussed but did not act on a request from the J Carter Knapp Post 953 of the American Legion in Forestville for the board to take over the purchase and maintenance of American flags in the village. The board also discussed whether to purchase a new lawnmower for the village, lease one, or contract out for mowing in the village.
One resolution passed concerning the water project was a payment of $166,439 to H & K services for the work on the well ties. The other approved a payment of $17,814 to Clark Patterson Lee for professional services for the period ending March 22. Both of these resolutions are contingent on approval from the Environmental Facilities Corporation Funding Agency and the Department of Health of New York State.
Michael J. Sullivan, Esq. was appointed village attorney for a one-year term on a contract basis at the rate of $75 per hour.
There was no major discussion about any of the resolutions, and they were passed unanimously.
Thomas Halicki, Commander of the J. Carter Knapp Post 953, sent a letter to Mayor Linda Aures. He wrote that the legion "has purchased and maintained the U.S. Flags displayed every year in downtown Forestville, since the 1920s. The Forestville Legion does not have cash flow coming in weekly, like most Legions, VFWs and other veteran establishments, due to not having a daily bar or food sales. Financially we can't afford to purchase and maintain these flags any longer. Therefore, the Legion requests that purchasing and maintaining the flags in Forestville, become the responsibility of the Village of Forestville."
The letter stated that the utility company had given the Legion permission to put the flags on the telephone poles. It suggested that a total of 18 flags be put up and requested this be done before Memorial Day. The flags that were used in the past were upright.
Trustee David Bishoff Sr expressed his concern that the village would have liability if a utility worker was hurt because the flag got in the way. Trustee Margaret Borrello was unsure if the necessary research could be done before Memorial Day.
Street Supervisor Charles Brewster suggested looking at what the condition of the flags the Legion has and at least getting them up like they were last year. When asked if he and the other village worker could do this he answered, "I'm sure we could find the time for this." He added, "The flags that way would be better than no flags."
Trustee Kevin Johnson offered to talk with Halicki and hoped he could have more information for the next meeting on April 30.
The Board also discussed what to do about mowing in the village. Brewster had advised the board that the lawnmower needs replacement because it does not comply with safety requirements for village use. This lawnmower would cost at least $4,000. The board then discussed whether a mower should be purchased,tracted out.
Trustee Bishoff favored contracting out. Trustee Borrello asked questions and then said, "I don't have enough information to make a decision."
The board asked Clerk James White and Brewster to develop fuller information on all the options.

David Ginder, WETA-FM's early-morning host, grew up in a household where a pipe organ occupied most of the living room.
His instruments were piano and cello and, although his Ithaca College degree is in broadcasting, he divided his school time about equally between the music building and Ithaca radio stations.
Ginder's commitment to public radio started in upstate New York with a commute to and from a young station that took almost as long as his show there. It was the early Saturday morning program at WSKG in Binghamton.
He went on to WITF in Harrisburg (although the station was located, during his early years there, in Hershey on the corner of Chocolate and Cocoa Avenues) where he was music director. Ginder hosted the afternoon show, scheduled music, and produced and hosted a busy schedule of local concerts for broadcast.
In Gainesville, Florida, Ginder taught public radio skills to University of Florida journalism students at WUFT.
Ginder came to WETA in 1989. He lives in Virginia with his wife and their three cats. In his spare time, he enjoys birding and bicycling.

Insulating air compressor hoses keep your home�s interiors safe
When you�re using pneumatic tools for indoor remodeling projects, try this tip from Club member Marshall Resnik of Fayetteville, Georgia. Wrap the air hose with 3/4-in.-dia. PVC foam pipe insulation. The foam will prevent the rubber hose from marring your home�s interior surfaces, and because the foam is semirigid, it will help to keep the air hose from coiling up on itself while you work.

Murakami's last spin was pretty cool, interesting position!
Murakami's last spin was pretty cool, interesting position!
Murakami's score is 135.99, 203 total. A personal best.
Armin is next.
Murakami esctatic to break 200. Really awesome to see such unfettered joy.
Armin's only mistake was a singled Lz. He's happy!
That was fun to watch - especially his joy!
Ummmm....wow, I love Armin!!!! Wow, great!
I love the smile on Armin's face as he finishes his program. Good for him!
Saw Armin's long program earlier this season on aj's site and I really enjoy it. He had a great skate.
Awesome score for Armin. Really happy for him.
I'm officially an Armin fan now.
GREAT skate and standing O for Armin M! Such a pity about the singled lutz, but I'm glad he had the sense to tack on the 2T and 2Lo at the back.
I really like his skating, he actually skates like he hears his music.
That was pretty glorious. I have to say, Armin has a more intriguing creative/artistic side than Rippon or any other American skater outside Abbott (and I'm including Wier and Lysacek here). Lovely and I cannot wait for US Nationals - the fight for that third spot should be terrific (and that entry into the triple flip!!!! Wow).
Armin crushes his PB by 20+ points! (and goes into first place of course)
Armin's score is 143.56, 211.17 total
Adam is next!!!!!

Round-the-World Style
The house—a collage of cedar, local stone, translucent fiberglass and zinc-covered copper—was built by Resolution: 4 Architecture over an existing foundation.
Architects Tanney and Luntz provided the ideal setting for a sophisticated mix of furnishings by interior designer Amy Lau, who gave the room a midcentury vibe that complements the architecture. The understated rug and "cigarette table" are her own designs; the sectional sofa is by Edward Wormley, the coffee table by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings. Lau chose swivel chairs by Harvey Prober to allow guests to choose their view. The Triennial floor lamp is from Arredoluce.

Team USA wins four more medals in Montreal
Jessica Long added another world title to her collection on Day 2 of the 2013 International Paralympic Committee Swimming World Championships in Montreal, Canada.
MONTREAL – Day 2 of the 2013 International Paralympic Committee Swimming World Championships brought the crowning of two U.S. team members as world champions and two more silver medals to the team's running tally.
Seventeen year old Ian Silverman (Baltimore, Md.) was the projected favorite in the men's 400 meter free S10 event, and tonight he didn't disappoint. Silverman won the gold in 4:05.38 - his second medal of the competition.
"At the end of the day, it's a gold medal so I'm going to be happy regardless of my time," said Silverman. "I wanted to win two medals here, and I got them in the first two days, so anything on top of this is gravy."
Jessica Long (Baltimore, Md.) claimed her 16th career world title in the women's 200m individual medley SM8 by tapping in at 2:37.11, just a little more than a second shy of her world record time (2:36.00). Long finished ahead of Great Britain's Stephanie Slater and Russia's Olesya Vladykina, who finished with the silver and bronze, respectively.
"I would have liked to have gone faster," said Long. "I felt like it was a little bit of struggle the second half of the race. I took it out too fast and didn't swim it as well as I should have, which did cost me time-wise. So I feel like I got over that hump and now I can focus on the rest of my races."
Roy Perkins (Del Mar, Calif.) won silver, his second medal of the competition, in the men's 200m free S5 event in 2:45.61. Now a seasoned veteran, having competed in two Paralympic Games and his third world championships, Perkins says he may have more international experience, but once he hits the blocks, all bets are off.
"Being here and seeing some of the younger swimmers makes me think back to when I first started competing and how I viewed everything and what my expectations were," said Perkins. "Now things feel more automatic for me, everything is a process – waking up, eating, getting on the bus, the races themselves, but I still get nervous before every start, even at age group races - that's never changed."
In the women's 100m breaststroke SB13, 15 year old Colleen Young (St. Louis, Mo.) won silver in the event without even realizing it. Unaware of her posted time and finish, Young climbed out of the water and was met with a great surprise.
"I didn't know until I got out of the pool," said Young. "There was a mix-up when our credentials were handed back to us, and when they told me I had won I was shocked and so happy. It's really cool to have my teammates on the other side of the pool in the same race."
U.S. teammates Martha Ruether (Allegany, N.Y.) and Cailin Currie (Danvers, Mass.) who competed against with Young finished the race in seventh (1:32.09) and eighth places (1:33.45), respectively.
Michael DeMarco (San Diego, Calif.) finished just shy of medal contention in the men's 50m breaststroke SB2. DeMarco, who has won a bronze medal in the event in every world championships since 2002, was disappointed not to continue his streak.
"I gave it my all, but it just wasn't my best," said DeMarco. "I've got a couple more races ahead, so I hope to do better then."
Anna Johannes (Alexandria, Va.) finished in fourth in the women's 200m individual medley SM9, one spot up from her finish in London. Although not quite satisfied with her time (2:45.57), Johannes was happy with her race.
"I feel like I fixed a lot of things from this race in London," said Johannes. "I felt good, I had fun, and I just love my competitors, they're a great group of girls."
At the conclusion of Day 2 of competition, Team USA has won a total of eight medals (5 gold, 3 silver).
The 2013 IPC Swimming World Championships run through August 18 and feature approximately 500 athletes, including 24 U.S. athletes, from nearly 60 countries.

So I am somewhat confused on the value of a $60K mixer.
According to Jon, he sells 400 or so pies a day and much more on the weekends.
Very interesting?This comment got me to thinking about toppings.I read somewhere that UPN was doing about 100 per day.That may be early on,when he was open less and little known?I know that location is a prime factor ,but the fact that these two places are in major cities does help.I wonder if UPN offered a wider variety of toppings it would dramatically increase his volume?I was surprised to read that Salvo (Claimed recently by Marco to be Naples Best) offers numerous toppings with such items as Cream and Corn.Very much a case of "Giving the customers what they want" I presume - will Pineapple be far behind?Just another point PFT.........did they cut the Pizza for you at Settebello / Spacca Napoli? David
The pizza at Settebello is pre-sliced while it is not sliced at Spacca Napoli.

3rd-ranked Marshall boys rock New Ulm in finale
The Marshall boys' basketball team scouted its first-round playoff opponent by taking the court with and playing the New Ulm Eagles Friday, and in their dress rehearsal for the Section 2AAA tournament, the Tigers were dominant.
Third-ranked Marshall held New Ulm to just 10 second-half points as the Tigers rolled to a 71-31 victory. They have won 14 straight games to close out the regular season.
Marshall (24-2 overall) will face New Ulm (5-21) again on Tuesday when the second-seeded Tigers play host to the seventh-seeded Eagles at 7 p.m. in the first round of the Section 2AAA tournament. Head coach Travis Carroll said it was nice getting to see a glimpse of what his team will be up against.
"I think that was better for our team to know what's coming rather than to play an unknown opponent," Carroll said. "Our guys still know that they have to play at a high level when we play them again because nothing carries over."
Carroll said Marshall started slow, but picked up its offense as the half progressed and went into the locker room up 40-21. Ball movement was key to the Tigers finding their groove offensively. The team shot 69.2 percent from the field in the first half.
"As a team we finished with 24 assists, that's a really good number for us," Carroll said. "We were sharing the ball really well with each other and it was really fun to watch."
Along with their high assists total, the Tigers also owned the glass. They finished the game with a 45-32 edge on the boards.
New Ulm is a team that likes to attack the rim and get a lot of dribble penetration, Carroll said. It worked to a degree in the first half, but Marshall shut the Eagles down in the second half by holding them to just 10 points.
Aaron Mathiowetz and Derek Buysse each had 10 points and four assists for the Tigers. Tanner Bukowski added 12 points, while Spencer Petrich added seven points and six rebounds. Carroll said up and down the roster, many of his players finished with three to four assists on the night.
Marshall shot 54.7 percent from the field for the game while holding New Ulm to just 20.7 percent. The Eagles shot just 16.6 percent in the second half.
Jackson Yackley scored 10 points to lead the Eagles. No other New Ulm player scored more than six.
About the only negative for the Tigers in the game was their free throw shooting. They made just 10 of 25 attempts.

Yesterday, the White House announced a series of changes in U.S. policy to reach out to the Cuban people.
The Obama administration announced a series of changes in U.S. policy to reach out to the Cuban people in support of their desire to freely determine their country's future. In taking these steps to help bridge the gap among divided Cuban families and promote the freer flow of information and humanitarian items to the Cuban people, President Obama is working to fulfill the goals he identified both during his presidential campaign and since taking office.
All who embrace core democratic values long for a Cuba that respects basic human, political and economic rights of all its citizens. President Obama believes these measures will help make that goal a reality.
Specifically, the President has directed the Secretaries of State, Treasury, and Commerce to take the needed steps to:
• Lift all restrictions on transactions related to the travel of family members to Cuba.
• Remove restrictions on remittances to family members in Cuba.
• Authorize U.S. telecommunications network providers to enter into agreements to establish fiber-optic cable and satellite telecommunications facilities linking the United States and Cuba.
• License U.S. telecommunications service providers to enter into roaming service agreements with Cuba's telecommunications service providers.
• License U.S. satellite radio and satellite television service providers to engage in transactions necessary to provide services to customers in Cuba.
• License persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction to activate and pay U.S. and third-country service providers for telecommunications, satellite radio and satellite television services provided to individuals in Cuba.
• Authorize the donation of certain consumer telecommunication devices without a license.
• Add certain humanitarian items to the list of items eligible for export through licensing exceptions.
Read more about these steps in the White House fact sheet.
Ursula O. writes:
The action taken by President Obama yesterday is an important step forward. NAFSA: Association of International Educators is urging the administration to also remove restrictions on educational travel. Reviewing U.S. policy on Cuba and rescinding restrictions on the ability of the American people and the Cuban people to engage with one another is yet another sign of the president's commitment to a new era of U.S. global leadership and engagement with the international community.

This is so aweome! I love this!
SNP in Syria writes:
About time you start distinguishing between the Cuban people and the Comis dictator regime. If the Cubans were willing to risk assured death in escapes, and they did, then you should have determined they are terribly suffering and longing for freedom. Why has the U.S. waited so long since the collapse of the Soviets to free Cuba and other dictatorial nations, obviously, it was not in the economic interest of the ruling elites who strived to promote false, deceptive slogans about freedom and democracy when in fact it was just that, false deceptive slogans.
Rosemary in New Jersey writes:
This is about as wrong-headed as can be in dealing with a government that has suppressed all freedom of speech, religion, movement, and choice for 50 years. Happy Birthday, Cuba. You are now approved in our book!
This does nothing to validate a stance we have held for all of those years:
*That this repressive regime and all it represents is wrong;
*That people should have a right to choose their leader and form of government;
*That people should not be imprisoned and treated cruelly for voicing an opinion;
*That everyone should have the right to travel freely;
*That people have a right to earn and to buy without rationing and coupons.
If you think this is fantastic, try buying meat, eggs, gasoline, beer, milk only when you have a coupon and at that only a limited amount.
People have suffered severe hardship and died trying to escape Cuba. You must also remember that it is not the U.S. that decides, under this protocol, whether you actually get to go there. The Cuban government issues (or not) the visa. If the regime has something against you, you still don't get to go there. Too bad it's too late for you to ask Celia Cruz who was refused re-entry when her mother was dying.
The Castro brothers are not our friends and pandering to them this way actually funnels American money into their system and supports it.
There is nothing awesome about this. It is a rubber stamp on a regime that should have been replaced many, many years ago, and nothing will be gained from this except more years of one-party communist rule of the Cuban people who deserve to be free of the Iron Curtain around that country. This will not lift it.
Susan in Florida writes:
@ Rosemary in New Jersey -- I understand your stance on this issue. However, nothing has been accomplished in the last 50 years and a new approach is greatly needed. I live in a state that is deeply divided by this situation. We must realize that the 60's are over. We can not solve the "Cuban" problem unless we try new ways. We must reach out and take a risk on this issue. And as far as U.S. dollars are concerned, everyone who lives here in Florida knows that for years HUGE amounts of dollars have been going to Cuba through the "back door" policy. We must open up trade, tourism, and communication with Cuba in order to help the Cuban people. We deal with other totalitarian countries, don't we? We need to also deal with Cuba. This is in our best interest,and in the best interest of the Cuban people.
Rosemary in New Jersey writes:
@ Susan in Florida -- Union City, NJ has more Cubans than Havana. I am not exactly on the margins of this argument. A new approach may be called for, but this is not the one. This helps a handful of Cuban people: The Castro brothers and their cronies. This does nothing but change Cuba from what it has been from January 1959 through today into Haiti under the Duvaliers, a dictatorship still, but one we talk to, can visit, and consider benign. The Castros my be old and getting feeble, but they are far from benign, and this in no way really helps the Cuban people at all. It just gives some Americans another place to go on vacation and other Americans a chance to feel good and sing Kumbaya.
Patricia S. in New York writes:
Another wrong-headed decision by the Obama Administration. The Cuban people - 0 - the Castro brothers - 1 - they are the only winners.
Susan in Florida writes:
@ Rosemary in New Jersey -- I promise you, it does not make the Cubans in Florida, or anyone else for that matter, "feel good". But it does give us a chance to deal with what is basically a stalemate. It is a hopeful sign when our government begins to face some of these very difficult situations with realism rather than the "our way or the highway" mentality that we have experienced for years now. No one is singing Kumbaya, unless it is all the European tourists who visit Cuba each year, spending lots of Euros. No one here thinks the Castro brothers are "friends" but we need to deal with this problem now.
Rosemary in New Jersey writes:
Thank you, Patricia S.!
This will come back to bite us. Sleep with dogs, wake up with fleas. Just sayin'.
Zharkov in U.S.A. writes:
Collective guilt, and group punishment, such as banning entire nations from trade when it is primarily their leaders who are violating human rights, has always been wrong. Of course, the imposition of collective guilt has always been a hallmark of oppressive governments.
In group punishment, the innocent are punished along with the guilty. The concepts of collective guilt and mass punishment are contrary to American ideals of individual responsibility and are remarkably un-American.
The Cuban embargo has punished the entire Cuban nation, including those who left Cuba to escape Castro's thugs, rather than target the leadership itself.
Spain has taken a different course. In the case of alleged American war crimes for torturing 5 Spanish citizens at Guantanamo, Spanish prosecutors are preparing indictments of Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney, and others whom they allege are directly responsible for such crimes, instead of declaring a Spanish embargo against the United States.
This is the preferred method of holding individual heads of state responsible for their inhumane acts, rather than punish a nation of innocent women and children with embargos.
The very concept of attempting to lay a seige against a whole nation of people seems inherently unjust, somewhat arrogant, and completely wrong.
Embargos punish the innocent in order to punish the guilty, which is something one might expect from a Nazi government, but not ours. We should not starve innocent people in order to make the guilty obey.
It is time to lift all restrictions against Cuba, but not necessarily against their government. There is no reason why the leaders of the Castro government should have our permission to speak at the U.N. as long as they restrict free emigration from Cuba.
There is no reason why we cannot restrict Cuban government officials from access to America, or indict them for crimes against Cuban people. There is no justification for stopping Cubans from sueing the Castro brothers personally for damages arising from violations of human rights.
It is time that people held their leaders personally responsible for crimes against the people, rather than have America punish Cubans for Cuban government policies over which most Cubans had little or no control.
D.S.M. in Iraq writes:
We should consider what this means to those who have been without for so many years; lacking a representative government, essential services, food, family, tradition, roots, mobility, information, and most of all -- freedom.
Information will empower the people of Cuba who have been in a vacuum for 50 years. The free and open flow of information is precisely the type of re-engagement that is needed. We are uniquely positioned to serve as facilitators for opening channels of communication.
This policy will stimulate a productive dialogue between two societies that have been separated by a narrow strip of water and a wide gap in terms of ideology. Those that will benefit most from this are the Cuban people who will have an opportunity to share their experiences and be a part of the global community after so many years.
Clearly, this will also be a tremendous economic opportunity for those who are uniquely qualified to implement this initiative.
Properly executed, this policy will be a catalyst for democracy (politics & governance), civil society, commercial reforms, and economic development.
So often, we take our rights for granted and argue with each other every step of the way. When all of us get on the same team with this we will succeed by doing the right thing. We will know we did things right when a new leader is democratically elected and Cuba becomes a free and open society.
Vivian in Florida writes:
ITS ABOUT TIME. we can not promote democracy in another country, if we do not respect it here. our forfathers fought and died for us to have essential freedoms. limiting were i go an when to see a family member, is what a communist country would do. NOT THE UNITED STATES. i agree that we, the people, are the best ambassadors to freedom and our country. good move, but should have gone further, we, the people, can make more of an impact in cuba, than 50 years of failed policy.
Susan in Florida writes:
@ Zharkov, D.S.M. in Iraq and Vivian in Florida. Well said. The embargo has never helped to free the Cuban people. It has only helped Castro and company to justify their oppressive policies. Castro has always pointed to the embargo as an example of "American imperialism". We are hurting the Cuban people, not the Castro brothers. After a failed 50 year policy, why not try a new approach?
Susan in Florida writes:
One last thought on the Cuba situation. We are truly hypocrites when we can justify our "open" political and trade relationships with China but continue to use Cuba's human rights issues as an excuse for not dealing with them. We have even opened trade and talks with Vietnam -- who not so long ago was our enemy, and killed at least 58 thousand American soldiers. How many Americans have the Cubans killed? Point being, let's stop being hypocrites. How about really trying to help the Cuban people instead of just "lecturing" their leaders, which has NOT worked. Nor has the embargo!!
Vivian in Florida writes:
If one of the obstacles is Cubas high fees for remittances, let me remind everyone, that it is U.S. policy that remittances must be delivered in U.S. dollars (which Cubans cannot use). These dollar remittances are then exchanged by the family member in Cuba, at the bank. The bank charges the rate of exchange and a 10% penalty for changing dollars. So here is a simple solution, why not let the Cuban people receive the currency they actually can use, and this will eliminate the 10% fee. Or ask the Cubans to allow their residents to use U.S. dollars at their currency. (Seems like this one is a bit more difficult). Just a thought.
Hal in Washington writes:
Well let's see. We can't discriminate on the basis of race, creed, sex, or sexual orientation. But apparently it's okay to discriminate on the basis of ethnic background.

MY name is Marck,I lived in cuba opressed for 16yrs of my live,I saw my father suffering for not having any money to provide food for our family,the communist denied him a job simply because he fought the communist system and was imprisonned by the communist for ten years of his life.I was segregated from attending any college because I was the son of a political prisoner,Thanks to Ronald Reagan I came to America,Then I Knew the real meaning of freedom of speech,I love America so much that when the war started in Iraq,I resigened from my job,joined the us army to fight a similar tyrant,Saddam Hussein and I Fought in Iraq,because I hate opression,in 2008 I went to fight in IraQ again, I just returned from Iraq on july 20th 2009 and guess what,communist,like nazism,and baathism can not be beaten by mere talk,those systems are based on opression and tyrans laugh at any sign of weakness,Cuban communist are the most hypocritical people you will encounter in life,instead of helping them,how about to sanctioned them,how about to show their crimes all over the world so people see the truth about cuban communism,ask cuban people how many of their fellow commrades are dying in the communist prisons or ask cuban how many cubans are killed every day by firing squads.

quote IncidniaI SEE NO ROCKSI agree it should be improved, but it's not like anything is wrong ewith it already, I mean, look, at the right of this image, you can see those rocks that are atleast 2 minutes drive away, thats a lot of Draw Distance. Although, it is annoying when you can see a blurred building, and then the sharp copy pops up, it really makes it look fake, and also annoying on the eyes.
quote DMC24guyHeh, it'd be cool if you stay in the desert long enough and start seeing mirages of cities in the background. And no matter how much you run, you'll never get any closer to them and you'd just get lost in the middle of nowhere lol.So, I wonder if when you are in the desert or forest or even on top of the mountain you would be able to see the cities off in the distance, or even the glow.

Tim Robbins born
Tim Robbins, a versatile actor, writer, director, and political activist, was born October 16, 1958. Having pursued acting since he was a young boy, Robbins performed experimental theater in both New York (at the Theater for the New City) and Los Angeles (with his company, the Actors' Gang), played small movie roles and TV guest spots until his breakthrough picture, 1988's Bull Durham, directed by Ron Shelton. Robbins played Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh, a minor league pitcher who is schooled by Kevin Costner's relatively grizzled veteran, "Crash" Davis. Susan Sarandon is the woman who travels between them in a film that was both a great romantic comedy and also a film that captured the ways in which sports shape our identities. Four years later, Robbins had a double-header of his own, starring in Robert Altman's The Player while making his directing and screenwriting debut with Bob Roberts, a prescient comedy about the campaigning practices of a right-wing senatorial candidate that looks pretty good today. (In an interview with Spinner, Robbins compared the Tea Party to the candidate of his film: "The same propaganda keeps coming back. It was that way when I did Bob Roberts and it went away for a little bit and now it's back; it's relentless. It's propaganda that tries to get the American people to vote against their better interests. Unfortunately, Bob Roberts still works!") Two years later came his starring turn with Morgan Freeman in The Shawshank Redemption, in which he played an unjustly imprisoned man and then, in 1995, Dead Man Walking, a drama about capital punishment starring Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon. Robbins wrote, produced and directed the film and was nominated for Best Director. Many other strong films followed, including Clint Eastwood's Mystic River, for which he won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar, and Philip Noyce's South Africa-set Catch a Fire. Robbins has also been an impassioned political activist, protesting the Iraq War and globalist economic policies. He will be seen upcoming in Martin Campbell's Green Hornet

After the recent terrorist attack attempt that happened this past Christmas, airports are stepping up their security measures once again. This time around there are going to be a lot more restrictions, and double the security checks. Some of the new restrictions include the uncomfortable rule that passengers have to stay seated during the last hour of the flight and are not allowed to go to the bathroom during that time. This rule applies to both domestic and international flights.
During that last hour of the flight, passengers will also be prohibited from having any items in their laps or seat area. What kind of items will this will apply to has not been defined yet (books, magazines, water bottles, hand-held electronic games, and babies?). Some airlines are also prohibiting pillows and blankets.
"The remaining in the seat during the last hour of the flight rule is being imposed by the Transportation Security Administration as a direct result of the fact that the recent failed terrorist attempt occurred during the last hour of a flight and the terrorist spent 20 minutes in the restroom preparing his bomb" – Examiner.com
Another new rule in effect is that each passenger is only allowed to carry one item (how that is defined may vary by airline). And there will also be two security checks. First one will be when entering the boarding area, and then another one right before you board the plane. To make sure you catch your flight on time, you should check the rules for your airport before leaving, and make sure to arrive extra early.

Yaby Cosmetics Review
EDIT: Hi Guys, I contacted the owner about your concerns over pricing. She is offering everyone a code for 20% off any order over $25 until 1/15/09 if you use the code renren2008.
Also, remember that each shadow is $2.15 or $3.15 for a pearl paint if you want to buy an empty palette and build your collection slowly. I promise you, this isn't another random cheap palette, it's worth it! The Yaby Cosmetics website is more expensive than the prices listed on Camera Ready Cosmetics as well due to it being a Canadian based company. Just an FYI for those looking to purchase in the US. Thanks guys!
I've been playing with these new eyeshadows for the last few weeks. I've been neglecting my MAC and everything else because well...I don't need them since I have all the colors in these two palettes!
Ever since I saw these Yaby palettes online, I was obsessed! My girl May has them, and Enkore did a review on them as well. I tried these out for weeks so that I could give an accurate review. Just ask my boyfriend, I was fiddling with these every night, trying out all the colors. I had to have about 10 different brushes each time since I wanted to use all 80 colors!
I definitely have a few favorites in the palettes that are not even close to be dupeable by my MAC shadows. It appeared to me that the shimmery shadows were a little more pigmented than the matte. However, like all shadows, if you use the patting method with a 239 or similar brush, you can definitely build up the color intensity.
I received the Best of Both Worlds Palette as well as the Something Bright palette. The only thing missing was a matte black and maybe a few highlight colors. But if you're any kind of makeup junkie, I'm pretty sure you have more than a few blacks and highlight colors lying around.
The eyeshadows are about the size of a dime. They are removeable (so you can replace colors, pick and choose colors) and magnetic too!
They are a little wider than the size of a MAC palette, but about 1.5 shorter.
Check out my video review...I'm rocking two different looks using the palettes.
On a side note : I'm really trying on working on getting a new camera to film my videos. I'm trying to budget for it so thanks for your patience. Thanks for everyone else who is super supportive!
I've done a ton of looks with them (and received many compliments) just using a regular paint pot underneath. See for yourself!
-extremely pigmented
-sleek case is a good size for traveling or packing in your kit
-so many colors in one palette...40 to be exact
-the pans are magnetic and refillable unlike many of the other palettes being sold right now
-so many colors!
-tends to have fallout so be careful
-the palette is white so if you're neurotic about dirty palettes watch out
-it's pricey
You can find these at http://www.yabycosmetics.com/ or http://www.camerareadycosmetics.com/
Happy shopping!

The chief executive officer of Best Buy, one of the largest chains that sells electronics, said that the company saw massive cannibalization of netbook sales after the Apple iPad hit the shelves of Best Buy earlier this week. Meanwhile, analysts believe that the success of the iPad is not cast in stone and the "death" of netbooks is greatly overwhelmed.
Brian Dunn, chief executive officer of Best Buy, said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that internal estimates showed that the iPad had cannibalized sales from laptop PCs, especially netbooks, by as much as 50%. Best Buy also indicated a plan to expand iPad distribution to all of its 1093 U.S. stores September 26.
However, iPads cannibalization is closer to 15%, according to an analyst from NPD, a leading analytics company.
"We see a rush of early adopters and the curious buying an incremental device that they wouldn't have bought otherwise because it's cool, not because [they said] 'Oh, I was going to buy a notebook, and now I'm going to buy an iPad'," said Stephen Baker, vice president of industry analysis for NPD, reports Laptopmag web-site.
People actually do not replace netbooks or notebooks with slates like Apple iPad. At the end of the day, the iPad lacks productivity software from Microsoft Corp., which is needed by the absolute majority of consumers, who actually use personal computers for business.
"Just because sales are going down the same time iPad sales are out there doesn't mean that there is this huge replacement right now of iPads by computers. Still, given the fact that the iPad has been out less than a year, the mid teens is nothing to sneeze at, and it will be interesting to see how this cannibalization number grows as more tablets hit the market this holiday and beyond," added Mr. Baker.

About the Author: Tom Leary is the Public Affairs Counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, Turkey.
NTV just taped a special edition of the popular show "Come Along with Me" ("Haydi Gel Bizimle Ol") with Secretary Clinton. The show's usual format was modified so that the Secretary could meet with young people over coffee. That's the way you traditionally welcome a guest here. But that wasn't the only change. The show was moved from its studio in Istanbul to the Rahmi Koc Museum's cafe in Ankara, which is housed in a 16th century merchant hotel.
When Secretary Clinton walked though the audience of seventy-five young public diplomacy program alumni at the start of the show, she stopped to greet guests. Our audience of twenty-somethings came from as far away as Istanbul to the west and Van on Turkey's border with Iran to the east. Life stories were equally diverse, running the gamut from young entrepreneurs (bee keepers) from rural Van to recently returned Fulbright graduate students. The "Come Along with Me" hosts brought a similar diversity of perspective. Ciğdem Anad is a journalist, Pınar Kür a novelist, Müjde Ar an actress, and Aysun Kayacı a model.
Not surprisingly, the questions covered a lot of ground. For example, a guest from the audience asked the Secretary about similarities and differences between Turkish and American culture. The Secretary responded that one way in which our two countries are similar is that America and Turkey rank first and second in the world in the number of Facebook users. People in both countries network. The Secretary admitted that there are many misconceptions, and that's why she just announced a new program to send more Turks to the United States and bring Americans here. The Secretary also fielded a question about how violence in the Middle East and in Gaza specifically affected her as a woman and mother.
"Come Along with Me" gave the Secretary a great forum for connecting with Turks on a personal level, underlining in a very human way that we're listening to Turks' concerns and how enduring our friendship is. Secretary Clinton connected with her Turkish audience big time.
Marcia in Illinois writes:
How wonderful it would be if Secretary Clinton and entrepreneurial women of all ages from the U.S. could meet with entrpreneurial women from other countries to build better relations between the different countries. Sharing our passions to build and create instead of distrusting and judging would be a nice change in the world.
Rosemary in New Jersey writes:
Thanks, Tom, for the post. Seems like this was a lot of fun for Hillary and for the young people who participated. She's always a hit with young people.
I hope we can count on more Turkish students coming to U.S. universities. It's one of the best ways for young people to learn about each other's culture. In the 80's there were a lot of Turkish graduate students in our universities. It would be nice to see that again.
Michaela in Kansas writes:
As an immigrant comming from Europe, I could not be happier and prouder of our new Secretary of State. Even though Hillary deserved to become president, she is the BEST person for the position she is in now. I am absolutely certain that she (and her team) will restore the world status the U.S.A. had in the past: that of an INTELLIGENT leader. With President Obama cleaning up the super-mess within the U.S.A. and Hillary working on restoring the relationships to other countries, I can only see a bright future for the U.S.A. Finally this country will be moving towards the 21st century!
Karen in Arkansas writes:
Madam Secretary Clinton is amazing! I knew she would work her heart out in whatever public service role she happened to find herself in. I do wish she would get some rest. She needs to sleep at some point! Thank you Madam Secretary!
Carole in California writes:
The United Nations has always been a vocal leader for women's rights and equality. Since the inception of that organization, issues covering women and children have been discussed and supported at every conference that the United Nations has held.
I salute the Secretary of State for her years of support for improving the lives of women and children around the world.
The most important thing we all must do in reduce violence against women and children so that they can gain leadership and grow strong.
Hakan in Turkey writes:
Hello. I was so glad to see Mrs. Clinton in Turkey again. Turkish people love The Clintons and The Obamas. We hope the world will be a better place with you. We will be very happy to meet Mr. President and the first lady in the near future in Turkey. Best wishes from Istanbul...
Wendy in California writes:
Dear PAC Leary,
The wonderful detail you give is particularly compelling to us continent-bound folk who can only visit Turkey through your eyes. Beekeepers!
I'm struck that the "Haydi Gel Bizimle Ol" hosts are so diverse. The Indonesian show Dahsyat was also a combination of entertainment and news. I'm more than a tad envious of this kind of "popular" show.
I would certainly be interested in any more informal observations you can give us about Turkey.
Terry in Connecticut writes:
It is safe to say Secretary of State Clinton is loving her job. In retrospect i think having her as Secretary of State is better than VP. I initially wanted her as President but Obama beat her out. Still as a democrat i am glad having Obama as president and Hillary our U.S. Secretary of State. Keep up the good job Hillary.
Sharon in Michigan writes:
I read this website on a daily basis and find it most informative. My knowledge of our state dept. will greatly improve over Hillary Clinton's tenure.
Brandi in Washington writes:
There are enough Turks living in America. And considering Turks hate us more than any other country in the world well let them sit there in their country in misery. We dont need any more Turks coming here and using our woman for money and green cards and than disappear after beating our American girls. Lebanon, Syria and Afghanistan like us more than Turks and these countries have legitimate excuses to hate us.
Thank you for your work Mrs.Clinton!! We love you.
Maria in Turkey writes:
Great information! Thank you very much. We women always be together.
Metin in Turkey writes:
@ Brandi in Washington -- I'm sure you don't know anything about Turkish people.. You are on wrong way. Please make more research and write your new opinions again. You can not believe how your ideas change! As everybody knows, Turkish people don't hate Americans.
Mrs. Clinton, Thank you for your visit..
Amanda in West Virginia writes:
@ Brandi in Washington: Where do you get your information? I have been priveliged(sp) to have friends from Turkey and I am sure that they would disagree with your statement.
Julia in Canada writes:
@ Brandi in Washington -- As one of those women unknowingly used by a Turk for a visa to Canada and then abused when the visa was refused, I totally agree with you. Don't let them into North America. Many of the people are indeed wonderful and incredibly hospitable but you have to watch your back constantly for the ones looking to gain something. There is a great suspicion of the West and a fierce hatred of Americans ( mainly against Bush )which they expressed openly to me since i am canadian. They don't integrate ( look at germany's situation ) and the violence against women doesn't end at our borders. As someone who lived there for several years and knows the judicial system well, the human rights situation is appalling. Even the Canadian consulate website was blocked by their internet control facists. As someone warned me once, if you shake hands on a deal with a Turk, count your fingers after.
Julia in Canada writes:
@ Metin: Turks don't hate Americans ? Oh puleeeez. I was teaching a class in istanbul -- the subject of north america and pollution was the topic and suddenly one of my adult students raised his fist, glared at the world map and shouted KILL AMERICA!!! If Turks remain unwilling to admit improvements are needed and continue to whitewash everything, there won't be any progress.
Hakan in Turkey writes:
Dear visitors I was so glad to meet Mrs. Clinton in Istanbul and I sent a message here. But what a pitty I feel sorry about some negative messages that I saw in here. If there is hate it came out after the Iraq war. The main reason was that, normally Turks admire U.S.A. and American people. I believe everything will be like before 2003 with the help of Mr. Obama and his friends. Best wishes from Istanbul.

PPE 2012: 8 Dos and Don'ts for Crowd-Funding Campaigns
Posted by Meghan Ahearn on Tuesday October 30, 2012 | Business
Posted by Meghan Ahearn on Tuesday October 30, 2012 | Business
It seems like nowadays every photographer is launching a crowd-funding campaign to raise money for a book or to shoot personal work. But how many of those photographers are actually meeting or surpassing their fundraising goals? At the PhotoPlus seminar "Crowd-Funding Your Photography Project," five panelists shared their thoughts on how to raise money using two crowd-funding platforms, Kickstarter and Emphas.is.
Gerd Ludwig moderated the panel. He used Kickstarter in 2011 to raise funds for his long-term series on Chernobyl, because traditional media outlets weren't interested in commissioning the work. Ludwig raised over $23,000, which he used to travel to Chernobyl, and publish a book and iPad app of the work.
The panelists were Karim Ben Khelifa, co-founder of Emphas.is; Aaron Huey, a photojournalist who used Emphas.is to raise over $26,000 for a billboard and information campaign surrounding his work on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation; Justin Jensen, a photographer who used Kickstarter to raise over $485,000 for his product CineSkates, which are wheels that snap onto the bottom of a Gorilla tripod; and Jon Pack, who used Kickstarter to raise over $65,000 for his photography project "The Olympic City" and the resulting book. Below, some campaign dos and don'ts they learned along the way.
1. Do make a video for your Kickstarter or Emphas.is page, which tells visitors about the project. Ludwig noted that a video provides an opportunity to address your audience personally as well as to give your credentials and background so people feel comfortable investing in your work. Huey added that the video is essentially the elevator pitch for your project, so it's important to make it as professional as possible. Meanwhile, Ben Khelifa advised photographers to avoid the words "help" and "support" in their videos since Emphas.is sees the relationship as more of an exchange between the photographer and his or her audience.
2. Do create a reward structure that awards every donor regardless of the amount of money they give. Huey said some of his rewards had a dollar value that was worth more than the donation amount, which was a good incentive for people to give. Ludwig noted that he had a reward for every size pocketbook.
3. Don't only think of rewards that cost money. Ben Khelifa said some of the most successful rewards offered on Emphas.is only cost the photographer time, such as one-on-one photography workshops or portfolio reviews. Ludwig added that every person who donated to his campaign was included on a donors' list, which is posted at the exhibitions of the work.
4. Do collaborate with the people who donate to your project. Park and his partner, filmmaker Gary Hustwit, agreed to let backers vote on one of the former Olympic hosting cities that would be included in their project. He also noted that when he and Hustwit were traveling to the various cities, backers would sometimes e-mail them with recommendations about where to shoot. Jensen had some backers help with the testing of the initial CineSkates product. He also made additional product lines based on suggestions given by backers.
5. Don't forget to communicate with backers during and after the campaign. Emphas.is was started because Ben Khelifa believes that people are interested in the experiences of photographers and photojournalists, which is why the "Making of Zone" is such a crucial part of the site. Pack said many people were into "collaborating" on his project, so he would answer e-mails throughout the campaign and then launched a website afterward so donors could stay up to date on the status of the project. He also posts updates on his Facebook page and e-mails backers regularly.
6. Do try to get funds from people outside of your personal and/or professional networks. Huey said he didn't even ask for money from his personal networks. Instead, he appealed to the street art world, since Shepard Fairey created some of the posters, and to Native American rights groups, because his work focused on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. By identifying influential bloggers in both worlds, he was able to spread the word about his campaign to people who are passionate about these two things. Ludwig noted that you get your backers' e-mail addresses to contact them about future campaigns, but Ben Khelifa added that this only works if you're good at communicating during the first campaign (see above).
7. Don't underestimate shipping costs. One of Ludwig's rewards was a copy of his book Broken Empire: After the Fall of the USSR. Over 25 percent of the donations at this $100 reward level were from overseas, and it cost him $31 (not including packaging) to ship each book internationally. Jensen also made this mistake, by offering all backers in the U.S. free shipping once the product came out; international backers were charged an extra $20 for shipping. The problem was that shipping overseas ended up costing more than $20 and many backers in the U.S. wanted their products shipped overnight.
8. Don't assume that all you have to do is launch the campaign and you're done. All the panelists agreed that crowd funding is very time consuming. Huey even went so far as to say he couldn't do another crowd-funding campaign anytime soon because the billboard campaign took over his life for two months and he just doesn't have that kind of time right now. Ludwig noted that his studio manager was a crucial part of his campaign, while Jensen said he ended up hiring a staff of five to help once it looked like they were going to get enough money through Kickstarter to fully launch the product.

I don't know if you have checked this site out or not but they do talk about the pros and cons of both mixers. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Mixer-Owners/The Bread Bible considers both a spiral mixer with the same pro's 1. Low oxidation2. Low friction3. Does large and small amounts (With variation of technique)The only con was that the Bosch can start to walk at high speeds.Bob
Hey all, I do not currently have a mixer and was interested in buying one. I have narrowed the choices down to the Bosch or Electrolux.The Electrolux is pricier ($650 vs $360 for the Bosch). Been thinking of the new Universal plus too, where can it be purchased for $360 Chet I have done some reading on both and it seems owners of each having nothing but good things to say.I curious to know if there are any downsides to either. I figure ppl who have had these machines would know. Meaning if you could make improvements to either machines, what would they be?Just tell me what you like or dislike about one or the other. If you feel that one is signifcantly better, I'd like to hear about that as well. Also, will either one make small batches of dough. Say about 600gm enough for 2 pies? TIA
Bob that is a good tip about watching the dough. I like to do tht any how as I like to watch the dough change in structure and appearance. Scott, words cannot express my appreciation for your insight.
What kind of spiral did you get, is it the Micro SP5?

In the March issue, we asked digital subscribers whether they have ever tried to train with two instructors at the same time. The question was sparked by a situation in Rod's column that involved a student pilot who was getting frustrated with the pace of his training. His instructor didn't want to work weekends, which meant between his own work schedule and weather, he wound up flying only a few times a month. While he enjoyed working with the CFI, he wanted to keep moving forward. The CFI had promised him that he would more time to devote to the student's training in a month.
It's generally not a good idea to work with more than one CFI at a time, but I get the sentiment behind the student's question. Rod said:
"It's simply too easy for you to become confused when another instructor—one who has different training priorities and methods than your primary instructor—contradicts your previous learning (and yes, there's a very good chance that this will happen)."
Our poll respondents generally had not flown with more than one CFI at a time, although not quite in the overwhelming numbers I'd predicted. Here are the results:
- 56 percent had not.
- 39 percent had.
- 5 percent had not, but were considering doing just that.
What do you think? And if you've flown with more than one instructor (at the same time), I'd love to hear how that turned out for you.—Jill W. Tallman

Sudden Sushi Train Camera Fame, of Course!
Now, the thing is, is that kids love to be on camera, most probably because:
Elecom is going to release a wristband-style active monitor HCW-WAM01 in mid-September. The price will be around 6,980 yen.
Ricoh Imaging announced the release of a new single‐lens reflex camera, PENTAX K-S1. It will be out for sale on September 19.
PENTAX K-S1 is a compact standard model and designed for young people just becoming interested in cameras. However, the specs are nearly as good as the flagship models and the innovative LED body light is interesting.
Takara Tomy Arts is going to release an interesting pudding maker called Mawashite Mawashite Marugoto Purin (meaning "Rotate Rotate Whole Pudding" in Japanese) on September 25. With it, you can make an egg turn into pudding inside without cracking the egg shell.
Air Guitar World Championship
The best thing about the World Air Guitar Championship - now in it's 19th year - is that it seems to thoroughly appreciate its own absurdity. As such, the theatricality and energy of contestants' pseudo-strumming, rathern than the accuracy, seems to be measure of an air guitarist. The organization states:
Terrie's Take is a selection of Japan-centric news collected and collated by long-time resident and media business professional Terrie Lloyd. AkihabaraNews is pleased to present Terrie's learned perspective; we all could use another take on the news - here's Terrie's:
JTT (Japan Trust Technology) is now selling an 8-legged flexible smartphone stand "SPIDER PODIUM" from the English company, Breffo.
With the 8 flexible legs, you can mount different kinds of devices such as a smartphone and camera to many places. For example, you can use it as a smartphone stand in the kitchen to check a recipe or as a tripod stand for a camera by looping the legs around a pole.
Samsung announced the release of the SIM card-compliant curvy smart watch, Gear S. It will be released to the world starting in October, but its price has not been announced yet.
Gear S features a SIM card that is compatible with 3G networks so that users can make phone calls or send messages without connecting another smartphone device. The other interesting feature is that it supports healthcare or fitness functions like S Health and Nike+ Running.

There's no cure for the common cold. But what about cold remedies that claim to make you feel better faster? Find out what's effective — and what's not.
Cold remedies are almost as common as the common cold, but are they effective? Nothing can cure a cold, but there are some remedies that might help ease your symptoms and keep you from feeling so miserable. Here's a look at some common cold remedies and what's known about them.
If you catch a cold, you can expect to be sick for one to two weeks. That doesn't mean you have to be miserable. Besides getting enough rest, these remedies might help you feel better:
Soothe a sore throat. A saltwater gargle — 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt dissolved in an 8-ounce glass of warm water — can temporarily relieve a sore or scratchy throat. Children younger than 6 years are unlikely to be able to gargle properly.
You can also try ice chips, sore throat sprays, lozenges or hard candy. Don't give lozenges or hard candy to children younger than 3 to 4 years old because they can choke on them.
Relieve pain. For children 6 months or younger, give only acetaminophen. For children older than 6 months, give either acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Ask your child's doctor for the correct dose for your child's age and weight. Adults can take acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) or aspirin.
Use caution when giving aspirin to children or teenagers. Though aspirin is approved for use in children older than age 3, children and teenagers recovering from chickenpox or flu-like symptoms should never take aspirin. This is because aspirin has been linked to Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, in such children.
Try over-the-counter (OTC) cold and cough medications. For adults and children older than 5, OTC decongestants, antihistamines and pain relievers might offer some symptom relief. However, they won't prevent a cold or shorten its duration, and most have some side effects.
Experts agree that these shouldn't be given to younger children. Overuse and misuse of these medications can cause serious damage.
Take medications only as directed. Some cold remedies contain multiple ingredients, such as a decongestant plus a pain reliever, so read the labels of cold medications you take to make sure you're not taking too much of any medication.
The list of ineffective cold remedies is long. A few of the more common ones that don't work include:
Zinc. The cold-fighting reputation of zinc has had its ups and downs. That's because many zinc studies are flawed.
The jury is still out, but a review of 18 randomized, controlled studies indicated that zinc lozenges or syrup reduced the average length of a cold in otherwise healthy people when taken within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms. The review also found some evidence that zinc taken for five months to prevent colds reduced the incidence of colds in children. Keep in mind, though, that you can't really know what's in the zinc product you take.
The review didn't recommend zinc for people with chronic illnesses, such as asthma, because they weren't included in the studies. Side effects of zinc include a bad taste and nausea.
Intranasal zinc may result in permanent damage to the sense of smell. The FDA issued a warning against using three zinc-containing nasal cold remedies because they had been associated with a long-lasting or permanent loss of smell (anosmia).

Why Bedford?
Bedford, Virginia... Like eleven other Virginia communities, Bedford provided a company of soldiers (Company A) to the 29th Infantry Division when the National Guard's 116th Infantry Regiment was activated on 3 February 1941. Some thirty Bedford soldiers were still in that company on D-Day; several more from Bedford were in other D-Day companies, including one who, two years earlier, had been reassigned from the 116th Infantry to the First Infantry Division. Thus he had already landed in both Northern Africa and Sicily before coming ashore on D-Day at Omaha Beach with the Big Red One. Company A of the 116th Infantry assaulted Omaha Beach as part of the First Division's Task Force O.
By day's end, nineteen of the company's Bedford soldiers were dead. Two more Bedford soldiers died later in the Normandy campaign, as did yet another two assigned to other 116th Infantry companies. Bedford's population in 1944 was about 3,200. Proportionally this community suffered the nation's severest D-Day losses. Recognizing Bedford as emblematic of all communities, large and small, whose citizen-soldiers served on D-Day, Congress warranted the establishment of the National D-Day Memorial here.

After using Intel Corp.'s central processing units exclusively for over four years, Apple computer may start utilizing processors from Intel's arch-rival Advanced Micro Devices. Given that AMD is about a year away from its processors code-named Bulldozer (Zambezi) and Fusion (Llano), Apple's interest may indicate that the chips provide high enough performance for desktops and notebook.
According to AppleInsider web-site, representatives for Sunnyvale, California-based AMD recently visited Apple's headquarters in a bid to meet with the latter's executives to discuss potential usage of AMD processors inside Apple's personal computers. Considering the fact that current AMD central processing units (CPUs) cannot offer competitive performance with Intel chips, it is more than likely that the talks were held about the future microprocessors from AMD, which include next-generation Bulldozer chips as well as hybrid Fusion CPUs with integrated graphics core.
Even though AMD Athlon II or Phenom II microprocessors are behind Intel Core-series in terms of performance, AMD's ATI graphics unit provides graphics chips that Apple uses inside its computers and also supplies chipsets with integrated graphics engine, which by far outperform solutions from Intel. Moreover, that lead is projected to increase, when AMD launches its Fusion processors early next year.
Not a lot is known about Bulldozer family of processors, but since those chips are projected to feature up to eight x86 processing cores, it is highly likely that the products will be fairly fast, which naturally should inspire Apple to use them.
Unfortunately for AMD, historically Apple has not used processors from different suppliers, since this reduces economy of scale and requires Apple to use different design of mainboards and so on. As a result, AMD products may only be used inside select Macbook or Macintosh models, but not across the board.
Neither Apple nor AMD commented on the news-story.

It was a nod to Spaceballs... one of my favorite Mel Brooks movies.
Wouldn't that be "ludicrous speed?"
The bottom of those look extra good and I really like the larger cut size of your slices. Doesn't sound like you were too thrilled with the dough taste though....
I don't remember mentioning the flavor, Bob, but since you brought it up I guess it could stand a little improvement, although it was really not bad. I guess that's what I'm hoping for with the longer ferment. Also, I think I'll lessen the thickness factor a notch and bump up the hydration a little. A little more crispness would be nice.
Ya, now vonst, ain't it the truth?

Cassadaga Elementary school will close June 30
OBSERVER Staff Report
SINCLAIRVILLE – The Cassadaga Valley Board of Education voted unanimously tonight to close the Cassadaga Elementary School effective June 30. Next year all students pre-k through 5 will attend the Sinclairville Elementary School.
The vote came without comment. One of 10 motions under school business, the motions were approved as a whole.
Before the vote, during the recognition of unscheduled visitors, resident Mark Cunningham spoke to the board. He said that he canvassed 65-70 houses. He said 95 percent of the people did not know that the action was contemplated, and all but two favored keeping the building open.
Near the end of the meeting, S. Carl Perry, the board of education representative to the committee that studied the matter, said that the points on both sides were valid.
"The harsh reality is that we have a budget to balance," he said.
At the next regular board meeting, a committee may be appointed to make recommendations about possible uses for the building.
