Sheridan's business boom
By GREG FOX
OBSERVER Staff Writer
SHERIDAN – For the small town of Sheridan, a recent influx of businesses coming to the area has been greeted as good news during a time of a sluggish national economy.
At a recent town board meeting, Code Enforcement Officer James Crowell announced that five new businesses within the past few months have started up, or will be starting up, in the town: Creation Station, Cotton Drilling Company, Inc., Nulife Glass New York, Inc., Dunkirk Metal Products of Western New York, LLC and H. Olsen & Sons Contractors, Inc.
For an area with a population of about 2,600, according to the 2010 U.S. Census, an influx of so many businesses in such a short amount of time is "significant," as Crowell said at the meeting.
So, why the business boom? Why now?
"Small towns, unlike big government, don't require these businesses to jump through all these hurdles," Sheridan Town Supervisor Louis Delmonte said. "I think we're a little more accessible, a little more open to sit and discuss different things with them. We don't want to discourage them, we want to come to town and stay in town. That's the attitude you have to have."
With Sheridan's minimal layers of government and special districts, Delmonte said a reasonably low tax rate might also attract businesses to the area.
According to the town clerk's office, the baseline tax rate in the town for the 2013 fiscal year is $14.20 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. This includes taxes from the county, as well as the town itself. After factoring in the 70 percent equalization rate, taxes come to $9.94 per $1,000.
Compared with neighboring towns, that number is lower. According to the Chautauqua County Real Property Tax Office, the town of Hanover's baseline tax rate for 2013 is $12.02 per $1,000. For the town of Villenova, it is $16.66. The town of Arkwright's is $15 and the town of Pomfret's is $10.28. The only lower baseline tax rate is the town of Dunkirk's, which is $9.55.
"In the last four years I've been supervisor, in regards to the town tax, we have not had a single increase since I've started," Delmonte said. "We do a really good job in controlling our taxes and looking at our expenditures and our budgets. The whole board works very hard to control that."
Delmonte also cited infrastructure as a reason for the business boom, with easy access to rural areas and the availability of railroads, waterways and even an airport in the town.
"Since Sheridan is between routes 5 and 20 and we have the Thruway on the Silver Creek end and the Thruway on the Dunkirk end, it really gives them easy road access, which I think is a huge part of it, too," he said.
Bill Daly, the administrative director and chief executive officer of the Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency, cited the large and resourceful facilities in Sheridan's Chadwick Bay Industrial Park as a reason for drawing so many businesses to that area.
"These are available buildings," he said. "And that's one thing we unfortunately don't have a lot of in the county. So, when people find a building that matches what they want to do, it's not difficult to get them to come here. That's the frustration of economic development; you may have people looking, but you don't have buildings that are going to be adequate in the long run."
Daly said that while all the buildings in the industrial park are now in use, several CCIDA-controlled vacant lots are still around that area and up for sale.
"This is some great raw land to do construction on, and it's right next to the industrial park," he said.
So, what about the five actual businesses themselves? What were their reasons for the move to Sheridan?
The OBSERVER recently caught up with the owners and presidents of the five companies, with the exception of Nulife Glass, to understand why they chose that town as their new hub for business.
The OBSERVER attempted to get in touch with Nulife several times, but was unsuccessful in doing so. According to a press release dated June 19, the cathode ray tube recycling company will bring 30 new jobs to the area.
"The New York Power Authority awarded the company with a low-cost power deal to attract the business to Chautauqua County," the press release reads. "The new facility will be powered by 100 percent green and sustainable energy supplied from the NYPA hydro-electric generating plant in Niagara Falls."
Nulife is in the process of cleaning up an abandoned facility on Middle Road in Sheridan, which was formerly occupied by Reflective Glass Products, Inc. The United Kingdom-based company will install furnaces in the facility before opening up sometime toward the end of the summer, according to Sheridan officials.
"Locating within the USA means there is now no need to export the glass waste, something which is becoming more difficult as the Federal (Environmental Protection Agency) steps up their oversight of waste exports to prevent toxic waste being dumped in developing nations who are not equipped to deal with it," the press release states.
The statement also says the recycling facility will take in up to 200 million pounds of cathode ray tube glass.
Joe Shull, president and partner at Dunkirk Metal Products, said his business is centralizing its Brocton and Dunkirk properties to the industrial park within the current quarter. The company will occupy the former Lorenzo Enterprises building there.
Shull really spoke to Daly's reasoning of the industrial park having available facilities for attracting businesses.
"We've looked at lots of inventory on buildings and nothing that we found that met our needs or criteria was in the city limits," he said.
Dunkirk Metal Products, which specializes as a one-stop job shop and manufacture fabricator, currently has 20 employees.
Shull said it makes better business sense to house the company under one roof so there wouldn't be constant shipping between two facilities. That, in turn, would cut costs and improve productivity, making it run more effectively. Shull also said the new Sheridan facility is bigger, which will help with growth.
Cyn Gailey and Barb Joy are the business partners for Creation Station, a working stained glass studio formerly located in Silver Creek. The studio sells work from about 30 local artists and offers a wide selection of beach and sea glass art.
Gailey explained why Creation Station moved to Route 20 in Sheridan in late April, citing a lack of parking space and a dying economy in Silver Creek.
"(At our new location), there is increased visibility with a lot of traffic going past here," she said. "Our art students are closer since we get a lot from Pennsylvania and Jamestown. We also have a parking lot now. Parking was a real problem at the old location and now we can accommodate buses and seniors. The retail space is also a lot bigger here. Business is definitely a lot better."
Gerald Olsen, president of H. Olsen & Sons Contractors, said his Forestville-based business is starting up a satellite building along Route 20 in Sheridan with the hopes of saving gas.
"We've already been doing a little bit of work there," he said. "We do a lot of work in Dunkirk and when I've got to drive 10 to 15 miles to Forestville with 20 trucks, do the math."
Olsen said while his business hasn't moved, he is "scratching the surface" to see how well the new satellite location will work.
The pavement, asphalt and driveway contracting service has been in operation since 1960 and is a family-owned business.
As for Don Cotton, the owner of Cotton Drilling, his family business was founded nearly 35 years ago. The company started up a new service on Center Road in Sheridan, which offers compressed natural gas to the public.
"I've lived here in Sheridan for a while, and I've been in the natural gas business for a while, so I figured offering CNG to the public would be a good idea," Cotton said. "People are still finding out about it since it started up last February, but it's been good business so far."
Cotton owns several hundred gas wells throughout the county and recently switched his company vehicles to natural gas, which helped spur his idea to start up the CNG filling station for his customers.
With all these new businesses moving to the small town of Sheridan, Supervisor Delmonte said that while it is very important to bring them to the area, it is just as important to protect the agriculture and look out for the residents within Sheridan.
"I think it means a lot that we, as a small town, are willing to work with people to hopefully establish and stay in our town. The last thing we want to do is discourage business," he said. "We want them to come to town and we want them to stay in town."

If I could just figure out how to put a pizza oven over a campfire I would be all set . I checked out the airsteam as well, very cool. Someday I hope to have a WFO in the back yard.
Not a problem...see Bert's member(Mighty Pizza Oven)'s MPO thread. I believe he's taking orders.
Well done. Your crumb pic looks excellent. Looks like it was a very tender one.
It was VERY tender! But nice and crispy on the outside. This is the type of pizza I have been striving for. I'm so glad I found this sight. The first recipe I tried came out perfect. My digital scale is in the mail and I can't wait to try some of the other recipes from here.

You could almost feel sorry for McDonald's. That's an odd sentiment when you consider that the company's revenues in 2014 were $27.4 billion and its stock price makes it worth something like $92 billion. It's among the world's most valuable brands and has three times the United States market share of Subway, its nearest competitor.
Enviable. Yet for years its new products, business ventures, even social media attempts have gone wrong: It sold a 90 percent share in Chipotle,now one of its strongest competitors; it introduced products like chicken wings, which went nowhere; it created a Twitter hashtag, #McDStories, that turned into a bashing event. And it has spectacularly failed to attract or even hold on to millennial customers, who've fled in droves.

I was given a sample of each and was wondering if someone could explain the difference in Liu An and Liu Bao.
jayinhk wrote:Liu'an is fast becoming one of my favorite teas. I love the flavor and it does good things for me. It's categorized as an 'old man's tea' here in HK, but I love the stuff! Also since it's less popular, well aged loose liu'an is also very reasonably priced. I could very realistically drink this stuff all day every day.
I got some of the 'fragrant' variety from a dealer near me too. The little flowers really pack a lot of aroma (overpowering early on), but the tea itself is very, very nice, especially in later infusions. Great hui tian and a very pleasant light date flavor, and I can get around 15 good infusions from it.
shah82 wrote:Well, I'm not sure it's worth more than aged sheng.
Allow me to ask for clarification, is it worth more than *good* aged sheng? I've never seen Liu An sold at prices commensurate with what Houde asked for...The Red Mark was 36 dollars a gram, and that was was very cheap, even during the time they still had it. Nada's most expensive liuan tea is less than half that, and from a time period where good examples of equivalent sheng costs obscene amounts of money, about more than three times than Houde's Red Mark sample.
gasninja wrote: I have a sample of the 1940's Sun Yi Shun Liu An from EOT. That is supposedly from the same batch drunk with Zhou Yu in the issue of Art of Tea that Will was referencing. I'm just waiting for a special occasion. It will be interesting to see the difference.
. I would say the best value easily available online for someone who wanted to try a trully mature tea. I wouldn't know how it compares against antique or masterpiece pu-erhs as far as cha qi is concerned,

Is it time to fire Shirvani?
North Dakota University System chancellor Hamid Shirvani is under fire, with Fargo lawmaker Tony?Grindberg introducing a bill at the Legislature to approve money to buy out Shirvani's contract after only seven months on the job.
Grindberg questioned Shirvani's leadership style and his controversial changes to the university system. Shirvani's contract runs to June 30, 2015, and buying him out could cost as much as $800,000. Shirvani said he won't step down, and state Board of Higher Education president Duaine Espegard said the board fully supports the chancellor. Only the board has the authority to hire or fire the chancellor.
We're certainly not fans of Shirvani's three-tiered proposal for the university system. The plan would be harmful to Minot State University. No matter what its supporters say, the plan would create a distinct three-class system. Minot State has worked hard to distinguish, yet would be lumped into a tier with Mayville State University, Dickinson State University and Valley City State University. Several changes would negatively affect MSU and set the university back in its goals of attracting and keeping top-notch students. Those changes include ending flat-rate tuition for out-of-state and international students and cutting in half the amount of money available to offer tuition waivers.
Shirvani has been controversial, with his sweeping proposal, his request to add 30 employees to the university system and a plan to build an unnecessary office for himself at UND. But should the board seriously consider firing him?
We doubt Grindberg's bill will gather enough support to pass, and we don't expect the board to fire Shirvani. But the fact that the situation has escalated to this level already doesn't bode well for Shirvani's longterm future with the system. The board must seriously address all concerns about Shirvani's leadership.

Dear all,
I have been looking everywhere for an LBC (+lr baggs deluxe acoustic eq preferably) saddle pickup which is the nylon guitar version of an LB6.
I have one of these on an old early 90ies La Patrie. I'm a touring musician but unfortunately the guitar is far too worn out to be taken on tour. I've had to buy the same model, which sounds fairly similar, but it does not come with a pickup. I have tried the Godin electronics that come with the new versions but they sound nothing like it.
I have stripped my old guitar of its system for now and put it on the new one, but would eventually like to have them both fitted with the same system to be able to use the old one as a spare for instance.
Any clue as to where I could find one of these?
Any idea of which models were equipped with the same system back in the early 90ies? that would be another option...

A senior at the town hall
To the editor:
Dr. Benishek,
Jesus said that we should, "feed the poor and heal the sick." Where does it say that we should do this only as long as we don't have to pay more taxes?
I saw you the politician, not the doctor, pandering at your 8-19-13 Hancock Town Hall meeting to the mostly seniors who have national health care (Medicare) and who mostly reflected the Tea Pots (lower taxes and get rid of Obamacare).
What has happened to your physician's oath? I think that doing no harm should include the thought that the lease among us should have the opportunity to have the care of a physician.
The people at this town hall meeting should be ashamed for only thinking about paying lower taxes. Our nation ranked 39th for infant mortality, 43rd for adult female mortality, 42nd for adult male mortality, and 36th for life expectancy in 2006.
I observed that most of the crowd shook their heads in agreement about voting down Obama-care when the U.S. House has tried forty times and you, the politician only offered that we need to fall back on private insurance.
This is a position that, by itself, will not be able to take care of as many as fifty million of our citizens who will never be able to afford health care.
Thus, it is an ignorant, arrogant and naive approach at best.
We had steady three and a half percent economic growth from 1932 (fact) until 1980 when President Reagan started changing the tax structure.
We had a strong economy with steady growth with a top rate at times of 90 percent.
After 1980, Republican legislatures have eroded the tax structure that we had which would have covered new health care costs. They refused to allow President Johnson's Medicare Plan which was set to lower the eligible age by ten years every ten years so that by now every American would have what only I and the other mostly seniors in your audience enjoy.
Not only would industry not have health insurance costs on their backs and be more able to compete but America might not have to be placed in such a lowly world ranking.

Topic: Aptana don't run on Ubuntu 9.10
Hi guy's. I've installed Aptana RadRails in my Ubuntu OS, but it seems the program doesn't want to run. I've tried everything that I found in tutorials on web:
- Download from aptana.org, unpack to folder "Home", create the file Aptana.sh with the lines inside
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true
/home/Ubuntu/Aptana/AptanaStudio # ==> "
make him an executable file: "sudo chmod +x path_to_filename", and finaly "run"... nothing, don't start...
- I've tried also: Download from aptana.org, unpack to folder "Home", and run the exec "AptanaRadRails", also nothing...
I've got the RoR working in prompt 100%, also have installed Java, MySql, PHP.
Can you tell me where is the error?
Many thanks.

Although I'll take in an occasional Monsters game, I'm no hockey fan and am really impartial to anything happening in the NHL. However, two recent NHL-related stories had me scratching my head and wonder what's happening...
One, they re-upped with Versus. Yes, Versus is paying, but... it's Versus!
Two, they're thinking of canceling the All Star Game?

Republican Sen. Sharon Brown of Kennewick has introduced a new bill allowing businesses to refuse service to customers due to their religious beliefs, drawing sharp criticism from some Senate Democrats.
Senate Bill 5927 would protect the "right of an individual or entity to deny services" if providing those services is contrary to their "sincerely held religious beliefs, philosophical beliefs, or matters of conscience."
Last month, a florist in Richland refused to provide provide flowers for the same-sex wedding of Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed. The florist, Barronelle Stutzman, now faces legal action from both the state attorney general's office and the American Civil Liberties Union for declining to provide flowers.
Stutzman has maintained that her refusal was because of her religious beliefs. Her attorney has said that Stutzman's actions are protected by constitutional right to freedom of speech, association and religious exercise.
Ten Republicans have signed on as co-sponsors of the legislation. The proposal drew a strong rebuke this week from Senate Democrats.
Sen. Kevin Ranker (D – Orcas Island) called the bill a "license to hate" in a press release issued Friday. And Senate Democratic leader Ed Murray said, in a press release of his own, that the bill is an attempt to "undo basic civil rights protections."
"The whole notion that a business should have the right to discriminate against it's customers is abhorrent," Murray said.
There are only two days left in regular session, which ends Sunday. But Brown said in a press release that the measure could be considered during a special session or in the 2014 session.

A month ago I crossed the five year milestone at Mozilla, and my first post on this blog was exactly five years to the day. I've recently decided to move on from the corporation to try out design work in an entirely different space.
It's been a tremendous honor working with all of you. Every top tech company has people who are brilliant, but few have people who are so warm, so kind, and so incredibly passionate.
This blog chronicles all of my design work over the years. I've recently posted a look at some of the crazier conceptual work we've done. I've also posted a talk I gave at PARC on the eve of the Firefox 4 launch that reviews why Mozilla exists, our design philosophy, and a comprehensive look at some of the specific principles that have guided the design of Firefox 3 and Firefox 4.
Some highlights from the last five years:
Firefox 3:
-Interactive design of the awesome bar
-Designed the one click bookmarking interface
-Art direction for every visual resource in the application
-Created an iconic form
-Managed a refresh of the Firefox icon
Firefox 4:
-Visual and interactive design of Sync
-Design of a new notification system
-Design of a new command structure with the Firefox button, leveraging usage metrics
I've spent 1/6 of my life working on the design of Firefox. For the past five years Mozilla has felt like home, and the people here have felt like family.
I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved. It's been an amazing adventure.

Topic: Complete Rails and developer tool installation for a new Mac user....
I've just made the move over to Mac, a new MacBook Pro, to be more precise. And I now love Macs.
However, there's still a few things that need configuring on the web development front before I'm infatuated with OS X, i.e. a Parallels installation of XP with access to the OS X localhost, a proper Rails installation (after InstantRails on my old XP machine, Locomotive just isn't doing it for me), and a proper local Apache + MySQL configuration, instead of standalone MAMP. It's a bit messy at the moment.
These divided, standalone, tools just don't feel right - OS X might feel nicer, but it just isn't as easier to configure, on the web development front, at least, as XP was. Excuse the newbie, but that's how it is for me. Unless Leopard can fix things, I think I prefer my machines to be a clean slate, rather than shipping with broken web tools that need extensive, step-by-step, tutorials before they're anywhere near up & running.
So, I'm trying to get my head around the confusion I'm now in. Here's a list of things as they fly off my head, so if you can order them and help me out, you're a legend, and maybe we can use this as a reference point for Mac webdev newbies until Leopard arrives;
- I came to the Rails forum to get some opinions on Locomotive. I tried going through a Facebook app on Rails tutorial, and ran into all kinds on problems when connecting to MySQL from Locomotive (I have Web sharing disabled and, as far as I'm aware, I use MAMP for my MySQL host), i.e. I don't know how to connect Locomotive to a MAMP MySQL, and I'm sure it's not the recommended setup anyway, so I'm not going to try. Do I dump Locomotive and go for the proper, Hivelogic, install of Rails? What about my MAMP installation taking charge of MySQL - will this mess things up for the proper installation of Rails?
- I've completely failed to connect to 'mysqladmin' or make any configuration of mysql via the terminal - I just don't know what directory I need to get myself into to make this work - and I think I've tried them all. I'm sure using MAMP is making this infinitely more confusing, because I'm not 100% sure that I'm using MAMP for MySQL duties. When I create a new MySQL db in phpMyAdmin in the MAMP start page, it seems to add this to the mysql folder in the MAMP application folder, so that would suggest so. MAMP is configured to use port 80 for Apache and port 3306 for MySQL, i.e. the default ports, so I don't know if this cuts out the MySQL that currently sits on OS X.
- This leads me onto a problem with configuring access a Apache+MySQL server that can host across OS X and a Parallels installation of XP. Now, I've gotten quite far with this; I can create a virtual host called 'local' for the MAMP Apache 'localhost'. I can connect to http://local/ in XP too. But, as soon as I hit a link in a CMS installed on http://local/ on OS X, the real server name is generated by the CMS (because it all runs from 'localhost' MySQL), i.e. http://localhost/wordpress, and everything breaks in XP, because 'localhost' is the reserved name on the loopback IP (127.0.0.1) on XP. This means that I need to setup another MySQL server on OS X. This tutorial explains how to do so;
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/ rvers.html
But, because I'm using MAMP, and because I can't connect to mysql whatsoever from the terminal, I can't do this walkthrough, and I can't get a second MySQL server up and running.
- Whilst browsing this great forum, I came across some details of the Apple developer tools kit, and I'm not sure if I have this installed (does this come on a brand new, Santa Rosa, MacBook Pro?), and if I should attempt to install it anyyway. The same goes for the MacTools kit - apparently this can make it easier to install Rails...
- All this leads to one thing; is there a fantastic, up-to-date, easy to follow installation guide for getting Apache, MySQL, phpMyAdmin, and Rails running on a Mac piloted by a new Mac user? And, is there a guide that covers getting a Parallels XP connected to a nice clean local server, from which all sites installed on OS X are accessible on XP, with no need to faff with the URLs?
If you can help me with one of these, you're great. If you can answer all, I'll probably try to kiss you, because I've spent weeks trying to get this working.
Any help is much appreciated!

Steps for look:
1. To create this look, start with blinc flesh tone eye shadow primer as your base.
2. Pencil in your entire lid with blinc's black eyeliner pencil and continue to extend the color out past your eye and create your winged shape then add a point on the inner corner of your eye. No need to smudge the eyeliner, you want the color to be opaque.
3. With a medium shader brush, apply a deep royal blue eyeshadow to the center of your lid. Then, clean your brush and use it again this time applying a matte black eyeshadow to the rest of the lid over the areas of the black pencil.
4. To help create crisp edges and points, use blinc's brow and liner duo brush. Dab the end of the angled brush on the pencil and then use it to line your edges and wing.
5. Line under your lower lashes using a sharpened pencil, the angled liner brush, or your can even use blinc's ultrathin eyeliner pen.
6. Next, line your waterline with blinc's white eyeliner pencil.
7. Prep your eyelashes with blinc's lash primer then continue with a few coats of blinc's black mascara amplified.
8. Fill, tint, and set your brows with blinc eyebrow mousse. The shade used for this look was the black eyebrow mousse but if that's too dark for you then you can always match your natural color or try a shade darker!

New Student Orientation
What is Freshmen Orientation?
What happens during Orientation Week?
Parents and other family members are invited to attend seminars designed to provide information, materials and contacts to ease your transition and that of our new students. You will have an opportunity to get a feel for the Claflin experience as you dine in the Claflin University Dining Center, help your son or daughter move into a residence hall, visit our bookstore, tour the campus and shop or dine in Orangeburg.
The traditional Parting Ceremony is an event in which parents leave their cherished ones in the capable and caring hands of the Claflin family. At this ceremony, first-year students say goodbye to family and walk through the Arch of Confidence, cementing their commitment to college excellence.
Held on Sunday, this occasion is the first time that entering students must wear The Freshmen College special dress attire. The attire should be equivalent to Sunday church attire. Young ladies are to wear a white dress with neutral or white hose, or white suit, shirt and white dress shoes. Young men are to wear navy, black or dark grey suits with a white shirt, coordinating tie and dress shoes. During this ceremony students are formally inducted into TFC of Claflin University. Parents, family members, friends and other supporters are encouraged to return to the University to share this special occasion with the newly inducted students.

Earth's Orbit and Climate Change
Big Idea
Scientists have identified quasi-periodic cycles of change in the amount and distribution of solar energy reaching Earth over geologic time scales, that is, over periods of tens to hundreds of thousands of years. These cyclic changes are responsible for the waxing and waning of the Ice Ages during the last three million years. Can these cyclic changes also be responsible for contemporary patterns of climate change?
Data Activity
Orbital Forcing and Climate Cycles
Global climate change is one of the most profound environmental challenges facing humanity today. We have unequivocal evidence that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are contributing to a warming climate, but we also know that climate has changed significantly in the past, long before people were pumping CO2 into the atmosphere. What is the relative contribution of what we call "natural climate cycles" and human-caused greenhouse gases to the trajectories of change we see in contemporary climate records?
This module is aligned to the following national learning and curriculum standards:
- Climate Literacy: The Essential Principles of Climate Science
- A Framework for K-12 Science Education
- Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practices
In this module, you will:
- Analyze the astronomical/orbital forces on the Earth's climate operating on geological timescales.
- Examine data to evaluate the possible influence of natural climate cycles on the trajectory of warming temperatures we are experiencing today in Earth's climate.
Background Information
The Earth is about 4.6 billion years old, but we have instrumental measurements of temperature extending back less than 300 years. However, through ingenious detective work, scientists have been able to ascertain the history of the Earth's climate back hundreds of thousands of years using indirect means. Taken together, the isotopic composition of ice, microorganisms, and sediment, as well as our understanding of the ecological tolerances of organisms, together provide a rich and varied series of data sets that can tell us much about the climate of the past. Because these data sources do not provide a direct, instrumental record of environmental conditions, as a thermometer does, we call these sources proxy data, or "stand-in" or "surrogate" data sets.
As an analogy, what would you do if you wanted to determine if a child had a fever, and you did not have a thermometer? You would check for what you know to be biological responses to a high temperature—flushed skin, sweating, chills, a warm back or forehead, or listless behavior. If you identify one or more of these symptoms, you would likely ascertain the student had a fever. Similarly, scientists can check for the presence or absence of biological organisms, or look for gases and chemicals from which they can determine past temperatures by applying physical and chemical science principles.
Like forensic scientists in a good TV crime drama, paleoclimatologists have developed a suite of techniques and proxy data sources that allow them to reconstruct past climate with high accuracy. Just as a doctor would do a variety of tests and checks to diagnose a feverish child, scientists never rely on a single data set when piecing together the past climate. Instead, they look at many different lines of evidence, and different kinds of climate proxy sources. They test to see if others can confirm the conclusions from one proxy data source.
Keeping Notes
Set up a journal to take notes as you participate in this module. Your journal can be an online tool or offline notebook – whichever works for you and your learning style.

Look at that, I asked a cynical question and got a serious answer.
Seriously though most of you look like you''re total beginners and not actually being coached by supposed proffesional trainers. Most people in the pictures are wrapped up in so many layers of clothing you would be very hot on a long run, where jackets really neccesary given that your where looping back anyway?
Yes, obviously we were asked to bring the kit that we have been given as part of the prize. We have done rather well in that department so it would be churlish not to try it out. My daughter asked me to fund a school trip this week using the rationale that I wouldn't need to buy any new kit for ages! (If you look at the video you may spot my rogue leggings in the afternoon)
There's all sorts of things that people are happy to wear/do while running that would drive me mad. Jangling change or keys is my particular irritant.
I'm not sure what you mean by looking like beginners. Round my neck of the woods they tend to wear flared gym trousers and fleecy hoodies. We were doing a long slow run on a chilly January morning so dressed according to what was comfortable for us. In a race I would have been in shorts and vest but in this case I had short sleeves under my jacket, other people had long ones. I'm not sure how the looping back makes layers unecessary although obviously we could have ditched the jackets after a loop if we wished. I was having a blessedly non-hormonal day so didn't overheat!

I occasionally run in a jacket.it doesn't stay on for long...............but before it comes off I usually undo it for a bit to start cooling down...............never annoyed me with the flapping and I have worn it tied around my waist for over 24 miles on a long run

Bit of the old "pot, kettle, black" there I'd have thought judging by your own clothing in your own avatar.
Base layer for sweat and a running vest with race number and compression tights in an autum trail half up on the moors, hardly excessive or would you dissagree?
My point precisely.
We can't tell the conditions from your photograph, nor why you chose to wear what you did. There are some on this forum who would say that that's excessive - there have been those who have posted about wearing shorts and t-shirts in the snow, so in their book, your clothing might be excessive.
You can't tell from the photographs what the conditions were like when the SS were out training.
So how can you make a judgement that what they're wearing is excessive? Nor that what they're wearing implies that they're total beginners. Don't think that the sub-3 guy looks like a total beginner.
Does it really matter to you what they look like?
Obviously it matters to some people Jeepers
At the risk of being accused of advertising I'm finding the jacket just right worn over a short sleeve shirt at the moment. Doing hill reps last night I did a Seren and unzipped it a bit when hot but needed it for the run back home in the cold.
Edited for spelling

Whats all this about..... paulj48... undercover fashion police ??
Our bodies adapt in different ways to the temperatures. Some of us are quite slim, and don't carry alot of weight / fat, so we tend to feel colder, others have more body fat which keeps them more insulated.
I find that in winter I need more layers on to keep warm EVEN on a long run. In fact anyone who regularly does long runs (and I mean 15 miles plus) knows that as your body begins to tire you can start to feel cold, even though you may still be sweating.... and that applies not only in winter but also to running in warmer conditions.
I took part on that training day and It was cold, so I dressed accordingly, and in what was comfortable TO ME.... sorry if you didn't like what people were wearing but I for one wont be wearing a vest and shorts until March at the earliest !!
haha, quite a touchy subject
i guess everyones different. im slimmer than every super sixer runner and i run all my runs (inc 22mile long run) in shirt/shorts all year round - even the snow
however, if asics send me a bunch of clothes ill be happy to go out in the full range
We are all different in our needs when we are running.On my weekend training runs up to14miles = 2hs 14 mins average. I do not take any water ,gels etc in the cold weather, like yesterday.I always run in shorts with a short sleeved vest,but put on a waterproof top with glooves and a hat.As the weather improves I wear a belt and put in gels,jelly babies,and a small water bottle.As our bodies react differently to the weather conditions,so we must adjust.
I always run with a small water bottle, even if I am only out for 40 minutes. When I do a run over 10 miles I leave a water bottle half way to top up. If the weather is really hot I pop a hydration tablet in my water.
Am I bad !!
My best performance to date was in a Mankini, not the most conventional of outfits for a half marathon but it was all I had clean...

Consumer electronics manufacturer Apple apparently has big plans for its iPhone operating system going forward. A recent job posting revealed that Apple was looking forward a software engineer with knowledge of hardware design to port Apple iPhone OS to new types of devices.
"The Core Platform team within Apple's Core OS organization is looking for a talented and inspired manager to lead a team focused on bring-up of iPhone OS on new platforms. The team is responsible for low level platform architecture, firmware, core drivers and bring-up of new hardware platforms," the description at Apple's web-site reads.
This position requires a very technical and hands-on leader, experience in working closely with hardware team and a deep understanding of bare metal software.
It is naturally not revealed what kind of products Apple plans to launch in the future, however, we do know that the company is developing its own system-on-chip devices internally and the range of consumer electronics that Apple might release is pretty wide. For example, it could attach a keyboard to the iPad and launch a netbook, or it could install its own chips into Apple TV set-top-box along with iPhone OS to give its users an access to loads of entertainment software developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Still, considering the fact that Apple specifically claims about new platforms, we may see a number of brand new devices rather than iPhone OS on a Macbook Air.
It is interesting to note that Apple has always said it was not interested in creation of inexpensive mobile phones or computers since they did not offer high-quality experience that the company claims it is known for. Nevertheless, throughout the history the company did feature inexpensive devices in its product ranges: Mac Mini and iPod Shuffle are just two examples. Perhaps, porting iPhone OS to new types of devices that feature custom-designed Apple SoCs will allow the company to finally meet high quality experience and at least relatively low prices. At the end of the day, the markets that actually grow rapidly these days are price-sensitive and Apple cannot ignore this fact completely.
Job responsibilities of the engineer include the following:

Omaha man charged in robbery of CS Bank
SIOUX CITY – Nearly five months after a man committed a morning bank robbery in Fort Dodge, the federal investigators have announced an arrest in the case.
Michael Clayton, 43, of Omaha, Neb., has been charged with one count of bank robbery, which is a federal crime.
Clayton was ordered held without bond in Federal Court at his appearance on June 12, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of Iowa.
His trial has been scheduled for Aug. 5.
Clayton is accused of robbing the CS Bank, 130 N. 29th St., on Feb. 7 around 9:15 a.m.
On that day, Fort Dodge Police Chief Tim Carmody said a man walked into the bank and demanded money from the tellers. After receiving an undetermined amount of money, the man left the bank.
Nobody was hurt during the robbery, and no weapons were shown, according to Carmody.
Over the past five months, investigators from local, state and federal agencies worked at trying to find a suspect. The investigation eventually led to Clayton's arrest.
In addition, another Omaha man was charged with helping Clayton escape.
Christopher Anderson II, 26, pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to bank robbery on June 27.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Anderson drove Clayton to a location near CS Bank.
"After robbing the bank, the other party returned to Anderson's car, appeared to be in a hurry, appeared to be holding a bag, and urged Anderson to drive away quickly," the press release stated.
Federal investigators added Anderson then drove to Omaha with Clayton to get away from police. When they arrived, investigators say Clayton gave Anderson $1,000 for his help.
For his role in the crime, Anderson is facing up to 10 years in prison and a $125,000 fine.
Carmody said he can't comment on the case, but did say the case could not have been solved without the help of multiple law enforcement agencies. They include the Fort Dodge Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Attorney's office, Omaha Police Department and Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
If convicted of bank robbery, Clayton faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

"There are many choices when it comes to teacher education programs. Not all however provide students the opportunity to practice the theory that is taught concurrently. Claremont Graduate University's Teacher Education Program has given me a firm grasp on what it means to serve underprivileged communities similar to that of where I grew up. Its concentrated curriculum caters to educators like me; someone that is driven to make a positive change in the lives of others. Each day that I step into my first grade classroom I am able to walk in and teach with confidence and reassurance that the skills I have gained through CGU's program are relevant to the art of teaching. In the process I have used the ethnographic practices I learned to then learn about my students. As a result, I know that the academic and life lessons that I teach my students are effective and productive. There is a saying that 'teachers can't save everyone,' but I strongly believe that CGU makes it so that at the end of the school year we cannot say that we did not try everything in our power to reach each student.
Teaching in California is a challenging, but rewarding career. The increasing difficulty of content standards, the ever-changing demographics of our students, and the politics of educational policy creates ongoing opportunities for lifelong learning. CGU addresses these and other topics in education that have made me a better teacher. We are taught to keep an open mind and welcome the differences that make us human. Our students are no exception. I envision myself teaching for many years to come as a result of this. Each school year is guaranteed to be different, but the effective practices I have learned to ensure student learning and achievement will continue to serve me well. I walk into my classroom every morning and my students are appreciative of what I do for them. In turn, I appreciate CGU's commitment to their students and the lessons they teach to make people like me a better teacher."

and how the cat let him know about it.
Ichi-ban is totally into my husband. He likes to sleep on his chest, rub his face on his chin, lick him, and he especially loves the way my husband scratches his ears. He gets sixty seconds of ear scratching every night.
But right now Ichi is totally pissed off at my husband. He refuses to let him scratch his ears. In fact he refuses to acknowledge my husband's existence.
Last night the weather was so bad it could have been the end of the world, but my husband didn't let Ichi indoors before he came to bed.
Sure, Ichi could have used his cat door, but that's beneath him. Ichi is the boss of this household and he goes in and out the front door. We are his tuna/door slaves. Give me tuna. Let me out the front door. Let me in the front door. Tuna/door slaves.
Here's the skinny… When my husband opened the front door to let Ichi inside last night he couldn't find him. The cat wasn't there. So my husband sort of blew him off and came to bed.
At 5 a.m. I woke to the sound of something metal crashing against our fence and I realized not only was there a tempest outside, Ichi was not in our bed. I woke hubby up and asked him where Ichi was. He said Ichi hadn't been at the door when he went to let him in, so he left him outside.
"Guess I better go find him," he said.
He went downstairs and opened the front door. The cat blew in, meowing his displeasure. He ran upstairs, jumped onto the bed, snuggled up on my chest, licked my face until he'd practically scraped my skin off– who needs micro dermabrasion when you have a cat– and completely ignored my husband.
At one point Ichi turned toward my husband, moved a paw in his direction, thought better of it and curled up under my chin. When my husband reached over and tried to scratch his ears, Ichi pulled his head away, flattened his ears, hissed at him, and pressed even closer to me.
Yeah, he was pissed off big time. We'll see what happens tonight. Unlike dogs, cats hold grudges and they have long memories.

Although cell phone jammers are sold all over the Internet, these jammers are illegal in most countries. When it comes to using a GPS jammer, or blocker, in your own vehicle, to hide your location from anyone who tries to track you, that's more of a gray area. True, there was a famous court case this year that said police needed a warrant to track your car, but that law had holes in it big enough to drive a truck through. According to a police blog:
"If law enforcement officials can articulate a serious threat ... to the general public, and that the tracking of a vehicle is essential to guard against that threat, then it is not necessary to have a search warrant for the installation of a tracking device. Only reasonable suspicion, and not probable cause, is required under this exception."
Do my wife and I carry GPS jammers in our various vehicles? Should you and your mate carry jammers in your vehicles? (These are rhetorical questions.)

Daniel Larison of The American Conservative says THIS of the controversy over the government shutdown:
The trouble is that the Republicans most eager to have this fight may believe that they can prevail somehow, and they seem to be encouraged in this belief because they are relying on the same sources of misinformation that have served them so poorly in the past.
It is as if no one learned anything from the experience of the party-wide delusion that Romney was going to win the election. Some Republicans are making all of the same mistakes that they made when they ignored ...

Valarie King-Bailey
I think it is GREAT that you want to be an engineer in the U.S. marines! This is a very admirable career ambition.
I would focus on mathematics classes especially trigonometry and coordinate geometry which is heavily used in maritime engineering. I would also recommend strongly another language. Marines travel around the world and it would be great to learn other cultures and languages. It will make you that much more valuable as a marine. Also, I would pay attention to classes dealing with world history and American history. As a part of our armed forces, you will need to understand clearly the heritage of this country as well as our enemies and allies.
Good luck, Shelbie and thank you for your service to the United States of America from one grateful American!

Sell Your Business, Count Your Blessings: Ask Noah
A: Your business has been your baby; a creation you successfully saw through to completion. I would absolutely expect a great resistance in the final moments before you sell.
However, it is now time to be practical.
Your financial adviser is on board, so I will assume the business is being sold at a fair price.
Your wife and co-creator of the business has approved the deal as well, further suggesting these buyers are fair-minded and well-intentioned.
It seems to me your objections are rooted in fear of what the business will look like in the future. Once you sell, you recognize this won't be "your business" to worry about at all. As difficult as this seems to wrap your head around, you've clearly been able to comprehend the magnitude; that's why you're resisting the cessation of control.
The sacrifice in exchange for getting money from the sale, is the acceptance that you will lose the right to define the future of the business. Therefore, you will most likely object to any new owner that isn't you or your wife.
Your objections to these buyers has nothing to do with them personally. You're dragging your feet because "giving up" something that you put everything into frequently feels like an admission of failure.
Switch your thinking and context immediately.
You aren't "giving up," you're moving on. This decision to sell was one of necessity. You and your wife are being very realistic, your resolve to bring in capital is admirable and intelligent.
Don't suffer too loudly and back out at the last minute due to a false sense of pride. From a societal and economy-based perspective, remember that this is not the time to worry over the purchaser.
The fact that there is actually a market you can sell to is phenomenal, my friend. Countless numbers of small business owners would leap at the chance to be in your shoes right now. It's time to close a chapter and begin your new adventure.
Not every business move made will last forever; yet for seven years you ran this business successfully. Now someone else actually wants to give you currency to have the privilege of continuing your creation. Fantastic! I'm not just brownnosing here, there exists proven and factual evidence to light our way.
