This week we have been talking about refrigerators! Earlier this week we rounded up some models of the very popular French-door style of refrigerator. But a lot of you aren't looking for a 28 cubic foot refrigerator: You need something small and slim for a city kitchen. Some of you may even want an ultra-compact under-counter fridge. Here's a look at some of the most widely available and popular options for small refrigerators. Do you have a recommendation for another model? Jump in and add it!
Styles of Small Refrigerators
When it comes to small refrigerators, you have a few different options.
First up, and smallest, is the office-style cube fridge. These are tiny boxes, and you can't do much more than store cans of soda and a lunchbox. For the purpose of this roundup, we're skipping this sort.
Next there is the mid-size dorm-style mini-fridge. These are still quite small, but they are also relatively inexpensive. You can store a few days' worth of groceries in them, but freezer space is limited, and forget about refrigerating trays of prepared foods. One advantage of these mini-refrigerators is that they fit underneath the countertop. So you can maximize workspace by putting them underneath. If you sacrifice one more cupboard you can also add an undercounter freezer. One other option in this size category is a set of stand-alone refrigerator drawers.
Then there is the apartment-sized compact fridge. These are small and slim, but they have most of the height and relative proportions of a full-size refrigerator. They tend to be about 10-12 cubic feet, as opposed to the 20-25 cubic feet of full-sized refrigerators.
And finally, a category that overlaps with the apartment-sized fridge: Extra-narrow models of popular fridge brands. Some brands of refrigerators offer models in 24-inch or 28-inch widths (as opposed to the 32 to 36-inch widths of most standard-sized refrigerators. These seem to be the types of refrigerators many of you are looking for.
One final note, and then we'll get to the roundup. A question for apartment-dwellers is: Do you really need a freezer? Some of us cook in ways that would allow us to sacrifice a freezer altogether. Fridge-only refrigerators are less expensive, and also more durable, since they are only designed to do one thing.
If you have a little extra space you can also fit in a small chest freezer, or an under-counter freezer. Buying your fridge and freezer separately, depending on your space limitations, can actually be a great way to save a little money.
Small Refrigerators
A look at some apartment-sized and narrow refrigerators widely available in today's market. Prices vary pretty widely, depending on where you buy a fridge. We used a couple retailers here just for reference, but this doesn't necessarily mean that these are the best place to buy.
These models are all 24" wide, or less, and all are counter-depth.
• 1. Liebherr Freestanding 24", CS 1311 - About $2200, from various dealers. 13 cubic feet, 24" wide, 80" tall. This is a really popular model among our readers. You can see it in use in Art and Chel's kitchen.
• 2. Northland 24" Fridge - $4600 at AJ Madison. 15 cubic feet, 24" inches, 84" tall. Seriously pricey fridge! But it does offer extra space in a very slim profile. There are also a lot of options in creating a built-in look.
• 3. Fagor - $2000 at AJ Madison. 13 cubic feet. 24" wide, 79" tall. Another stylish option like the Liebherr, with a similar amount of storage and space. Main difference between Liebherr and Fagor, on the surface anyway, is the Liebherr is about 22" deep and the Fagor is 24" deep.
• 4. Summit Commercial Series CP171SS - $1016 at AJ Madison. 12 cubic feet, 24" wide, 80" tall. Previously marketed as the Conserv. A budget option, but the former high Energy Star rating may not apply to the latest version of this refrigerator. Check the specifications carefully. You can see this fridge in use in Jill's kitchen.
• 5. LG Cabinet-Depth Fridge - LRBP1031W, about $530 from AJ Madison. 10 cubic feet, 24" wide, 67" tall. Another good budget option. You can see this model of fridge in Sudie's pocket-sized renovation.
• 6. Whirlpool Top-Freezer Refrigerator - $459 at AJ Madison. 10 cubic feet, 24" wide, 60" tall. A true budget option, with a slightly smaller footprint and capacity.
• 7. RA752PST - Avanti Apartment Sized Refrigerator - $332 at Compact Appliance. 7.6 cubic feet, 22" wide, 57" tall. Small, slim, and very, very budget-friendly.
• 8. Marvel Built-In Undercounter Refrigerator - $1100 at Compact Appliance. 6.1 cubic feet, 24" wide, 34" tall. No freezer, just a fridge, and a good amount of storage in a small space.
• 9. Danby Under-Counter Fridge - $268 at Compact Appliance. 3.1 cubic feet, 18" wide, 34" tall. Very budget-friendly, and fits under the counter.
• 10. KitchenAid Stainless Steel Double-Drawer Refrigerator - $1890 at Sears. 5.1 cubic feet, 24" wide, 34" tall. A hefty price, but some might find these drawers the sleekest way to put a fridge into a tiny kitchen.
Overall, shopping for a refrigerator, especially one with tight constraints of size and budget, can be a very frustrating and overwhelming process. If you have won your way into a good purchase or some wisdom on shopping for a compact fridge, share it here!

Easy Introductory Celestial Navigation: Latitude and Longitude by Noon Sun
November 9, 2013 - November 10, 2013
A class in the basic principles of celestial navigation from a modern perspective designed especially for yachtsmen and recreational boaters, but also appropriate for anyone interested in a quick introduction to celestial navigation.
Celestial navigation is the ultimate backup when the electronics fail, and it is a tradition that connects us with maritime history. Students will learn how to adjust and use sextants available on the market today. This class covers the classic, time-honored method of finding latitude by the noon sun, as well as finding longitude by observations of the sun before and after noon (including frequently neglected corrections for statistics and the motion of the observer). Weather permitting, students will be able to try it for real and measure the sun's altitude around noon (from a nearby shore location) to determine latitude and longitude. This is real navigation, not just a class "about" navigation. Fast and intense, students who complete this weekend class will have the basic celestial navigation skills to cross any ocean using the sun, a sextant, and a few other simple tools.
Requirements: good basic arithmetic skills, but nothing beyond addition and subtraction. A familiarity with the basic geometry of angles, including degrees and minutes of arc. A familiarity with 24-hour time (16:00 is 4:00 p.m.). A good understanding of latitude and longitude on the globe.
Instructor: Frank Reed of Reed Navigation

Highway 371 lane shifts, closures begin Monday in Nisswa
Motorists travelling Highway 371 in Nisswa will encounter lane shifts and short traffic interruptions on local streets beginning Monday, May 13.
That day's traffic changes will include the following.
• Highway 371 between the south Highway 371/Hazelwood Drive intersection and Nisswa Avenue will be reduced to a single lane in each direction as traffic is switched to the existing northbound lanes. Traffic will then switch to the new southbound lanes while the northbound lanes are reconstructed. All lanes of Highway 371 will open in fall 2013.
• Access at the Highway 371/Main Street intersection will become right-in, right-out only as the median crossover to southbound Highway is closed and the traffic signal is removed.
• The Highway 371/Nisswa Avenue intersection will become a four-way stop. This four-way stop will remain in place for one to two days until a new, temporary signal system is activated. The signal system will provide easy access between Highway 371, local businesses and the city of Nisswa, and will remain in place until the permanent signal is installed at the new Highway 371/County Road 18 intersection.
These initial closures and temporary signal are needed as crews reconstruct southbound Highway 371 and begin work on a pedestrian tunnel beneath Highway 371.
When complete, the project will improve motorist and pedestrian safety and mobility, reconstruct four lanes of Highway 371, improve turn lanes and provide a new Crow Wing County Road 18 connection. The project also adds a new pedestrian tunnel, improves local roads and utilities and creates better access to the Paul Bunyan Trail.
For more information and the latest map, visit the project's website at www.dot.state.mn.us/d3/hwy371nisswa/index.html.

I am peeved -The Flavour Shaker, now resolved
Today I rang the company that distributes the flavour shaker here in Australia (McPherson's Australia), to ask what I could do about my broken flavour shaker. I also enquired about the new stainless steel model and when it would be available in Australia. I was told that they did not know when - or even if this was happening.
That didn't bother me too much.
I explained to the young lady on the phone (Tatiana) that the plastic rim broke the fourth time I had used it. I also explained that I used the flavour shaker properly and it just fell apart in my hands.
The shop I bought my flavour shaker from is temporarily closed so I asked if I could send my broken flavour shaker to them instead. The young woman put me on hold and came back and told me I really should return it to the shop I bought it from, but if I couldn't, then I could mail it to them and they would assess it but could not guarantee they would send me a replacement.
I was gobsmacked. The product is faulty. I pointed out that I was using it for the fourth time when it broke. I was using it correctly at the time it broke and they need to assess it and decide whether they wanted to send me a replacement?? I was very polite when I said this and then I just hung up.
Not happy. I really do not want another plastic flavour shaker, I would have been happy to pay the difference (and postage) for a stainless steel model (which I explained) and these people do not really want to help me out.
Crap service guys.

Re: I am peeved -The Flavour Shaker, now resolved
I actually sent an email with the above complaint to William Levine and this morning when I checked my email from them asking for my adress so they will send me a replacement stainless steel model. Fantastic service.
I think McPhersons are going to get a bit of a talking to in regards to this.
My issue was not with the fact that the flavour shaker broke, it was in the general disinterest in my problem. Basically I was willing, at my own expense, to send the flavour shaker back to them for an exchange and they actually said they would assess the damage and could not guarantee it would be replaced.
Australian consumer law actually states that if a product breaks within a given amount of time under normal use than the consumer is supposed to be given a refund of their money or a replacement. this means that McPhersons was supposed to say to me that they would send out a replacement on reciept of my broken flavour shaker.
Anyway, William Levine has been more than helpful so I am happy now.

Re: I am peeved -The Flavour Shaker, now resolved
It's possible that the company in australia just wanted to make sure that it was a manufacturing fault rather than a misuse. They did go about it in a bit of a crap way though.

The following article, excerpted below, appeared in the Chicago Tribune (6/5/06):
"In Chicago's public schools, 230,000 students qualified to receive free tutoring this year under the federal No Child Left Behind law. Only 66,500 actually got help. Those numbers look pretty bad, but compared with other cities around the country, they're outstanding."
"'Chicago should be the poster child for other school districts for how to do it right,' said Steve Pines [executive director of the Education Industry Association]…'They have waiting lists. They've done a great job making parents aware of the opportunity.'"
"About 2 million students nationwide qualified this past school year to get tutoring, but only 10 percent to 20 percent got it, said officials with the U.S. Department of Education."
"NCLB calls on districts that don't make adequate yearly progress on standardized tests to spend a fifth of their Title 1 federal poverty grant money on tutoring… Title 1 funding has increased nearly 50 percent since No Child Left Behind went into effect."
"Tutoring has the potential, if done right, to benefit students significantly. It's up to states to carefully evaluate and monitor tutoring companies for effectiveness, but tutoring programs won't work if schools continue to resist simply because they would rather control the money than give it to private companies."
The complete editorial in available from the Chicago Tribune online archives for a fee.

I agree it's better then Bud light, it's better then most of the other light beers, but I wouldn't call it the ****.
The reason LT and Morehead are in such great shape is because we didn't drink the rot gut you guys drink when we were your age.</p>
when I'm going to drink a lot I usually drink Miller lite (96 calories:P), but when I want to enjoy my beer there is actually a vast collection of beers I've tried that I draw from (over 350 different ones) Allagash White to this day is still one of my favorites and it's not too uncommon either, I generally like most belgian whites.
Right now I have a growler of Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA in my fridge straight from the brewery.
I think beers like Miller Light/Bud Light and even Platinum are "rot gut" compared to most of the beers I genuinely enjoy.

I am so tired of members saying Clutch this and Clutch that. As far as I am concerned, Clutch is a term used for winning. We DO not win every game, We do not have the best running numbers, We do not have the Highest passing numbers, and we certainly do NOT play Clutch on Defense. The only thing that is clutch around the Giants is the FANS.
That is my take on the word "CLUTCH". Eli isnt, Tynes isnt, Defense isnt. Together Maybe we can make one entire CLUTCH, But not separate.

Tips for Getting Started in Convention
- Download the current Student Convention Guidelines.
- Talk to another school in your area that has attended convention.
- Read through all guidelines, so you can answer students' questions.
- Distribute copies of the Event List to students.
- Have a Parents' Meeting early in the school year to explain the details and the estimated costs.
- Find qualified people to advise and assist in different areas of competition.
- Meet with all convention-aged students. Have them make a preliminary list of events they would like to participate in. Go over the lists individually with them, giving guidance. (Be sure to compare their lists with the number of entry limitations on page I-2 of the General Guidelines.)
- Set deadlines for written work, photography, sewing, and art. These events can be completed early in the school year, leaving the winter and spring to prepare music and platform events. (Please note the entries to be submitted by mail prior to International Student Convention, page I-5 of the General Guidelines.)
- Make practice schedules for music and platform events. Be sure that all students participating in these categories receive the needed attention from staff to assure that their entries are memorized and "polished." Afternoons are best for practice time, leaving the mornings for academics.
- Have students perform for chapel, special Parents' Nights, local churches, and any other opportunities you can find. This will help with their stage presence and will get them past the initial "jitters" prior to competition.
ABOVE ALL ELSE: PRAY, ENCOURAGE, EXHORT, PRAISE, and LOVE them through the entire process. It is worth all the work…there are eternal dividends!

UNODC on human trafficking and migrant smuggling
English | Français
Human trafficking is the acquisition of people by improper means such as force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them.
Smuggling of migrants involves the procurement for financial or other material benefit of illegal entry of a person into a State of which that person is not a national or resident.
Virtually every country in the world is affected by these crimes. The challenge for all countries, rich and poor, is to target the criminals who exploit desperate people and to protect and assist victims of trafficking and smuggled migrants, many of whom endure unimaginable hardships in their bid for a better life.
As the only United Nations entity focusing on the criminal justice element of these crimes, the work that UNODC does to combat human trafficking and the smuggling of migrants is underpinned by the United Nations Convention on Transnational Organized Crime and its protocols on trafficking in persons and migrant smuggling.
The European Union (EU) and UNODC have launched the Global Action to Prevent and Address Trafficking in Persons and the Smuggling of Migrants (GLO.ACT). A four-year joint initiative between the EU and UNODC, GLO.ACT will be implemented in partnership with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) through to 2019.
Visit the Global Action web page here.
The Human Trafficking Knowledge Portal is an initiative to facilitate the dissemination of information regarding the implementation of the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and specifically the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children.
The Human Trafficking Knowledge Portal hosts a Case Law Database on officially documented instances of trafficking in persons crime.
Visit the Human Trafficking Knowledge Portal here.
Watch video on the Case Law Database here.
The Inter-Agency Coordination Group against Trafficking in Persons (ICAT) is a policy forum mandated by the UN General Assembly to improve coordination among UN agencies and other relevant international organizations to facilitate a holistic and comprehensive approach to preventing and combating trafficking in persons, including protection and support for victims of trafficking.
Visit the ICAT website here.
The UNODC Voluntary Trust Fund for Victims of Human Trafficking provides grassroots humanitarian, legal, and financial aid to victims of trafficking through governmental, inter-governmental, and civil society organizations.
The key aim is to give people from all walks of life - including governments, the private sector, international organizations, NGOs, and individuals the opportunity to work together to provide solutions to assist victims of human trafficking.

Politkovskaya murder trial proceeds with third jury
More than seven years after the murder of Anna Politkovskaya, the prominent Novaya Gazeta journalist, a jury is hearing the case against five defendants in the killing. The suspects were first announced in 2011, but proceedings did not begin until July 2013, amid controversy. Three of the current defendants were earlier acquitted of Politkovskaya's murder in a 2009 trial.

Not with Eli on the team, we will see next year!!
You can blame GMs and coaches all you want. I think it has more to do with not being able to find a QB until Kerry Collins came along. The bridge between Simms and Collins was pretty horrible. Collins wasn't great but he was far more respectable than his predecessors. He actually had a couple real good years here.
BB will resign as coach of Patriots after next season and take over as giants coach to finish out last few yrs of his career. He will get us another few Rings. He has expressed/ hinted interest in finishing out with giants
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!

Do you produce more treatment free honey than you can sell? If so, we are looking to buy barrels. Please send a message if you are interested in selling?
Do you produce more treatment free honey than you can sell? If so, we are looking to buy barrels. Please send a message if you are interested in selling?
just would like to fill you in that what you are doing is bad for beekeepers in general. I looked over your web site, i noticed a lot of things that are unsettling
from your web site:
"Our honey is completely free from the dangerous chemical and antibiotic residues used by most beekeepers today"
all beekeepers i know sell honey without antibiotics or chemicals in it. your not the only one
go to the whole foods co-op and buy every honey on the shelf and have them all tested for any antibiotics or chemicals and you will find that there will be none.
with that being said what makes you think you can lie to people and say what you are saying?
let your honey sell itself with out lying and bad mouthing other beekeepers
your asking to buy barrels of honey that you didn't produce, remember.
"treatment free honey"
if it werent for treatments you wouldn't have your package bee's.
ya know there are things like formic acid and thymol that are used to treat bee's.
those are not chemicals or antibiotics, but they are a treatment.
Most beekeepers use chemicals and antibiotics to treat their hives.
You yourself say that every honey on the shelf is free of those pesticides.
So if someone say their honey is free of dangerous chemicals and antibiotics used by most beekeepers, what they are saying is true, isn't it?
Where is the lie here?
I see no untrue statement.
I would bet that anyone who has barrels of "treatment free honey" is at best, stretching the truth. How do you plan to verify his or her statements?
Adam Finkelstein
I would bet they are more likely the any number of chemicals not put in beehives by beekeepers.
Notice the OP want Treatment Free Honey, not chemical free or pesticide free honey.
Pesticide residue is brought into the hive by bees. If the buyer wants chemical free honey they will have to go to thge ends of the Earth to find it. And, maybe, that won't be far enough.
Mark Berninghausen
Implied in BareHoney's query for treatment free honey is the assumption that any sort of treatment to a bee hive at any time of the year results in a less than pure product. This is a myth. Mite treatments such as Hopguard, thymol, Formic or oxalic acid placed on hives this time of year after all extracting comb has been removed will not show up in next years crop with even the most sensitive testing. Any antibiotic use such as tetracycline should only be applied as a powder in the late summer or very early spring. Tylosin if used at all is best used in the fall and also should not be added to syrup. I have only experimented with Fumidil a few times and have never had a positive reading in any honey I have ever had tested so I can't speak with much certainty about that but, as is the case with many of these other treatments it is best used in the fall.
I am not about to say that all honey you see on the shelf is going to test completely clean of some residues. I suspect there is some misuse out there and some honey packers that may be less than diligent in their testing. What I am saying, though, is that responsible use of treatments will result in a product that tests every bit as clean as anything that comes from a treatment free hive.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
"What I am saying, though, is that responsible use of treatments will result in a product that tests every bit as clean as anything that comes from a treatment free hive."
I dont disagree with you, but now you've got me wondering what the advantages of treatment free beekeeping are.
beregondo why do you put pesticides on your hives?
55 gal/barrel x 4 quarts/gal x $15 per quart = $3300
I'm going to be rich!
Let's cut down on the chatter. Either you have what the gentleman wants or you don't. I am seriously considering moving this whole thread to one of the marketing forums where it belongs.
Well, I wondered why it wasn't in the Wanting to Buy Forum to begin with. But maybe Treatment Free folks wouldn't see it there.
Folks sell honey by the pound, not the quart. Fiftyfive gallon drum contains around 660 lbs of honey times $3.00/lb equals $1980.00. $5.00/lb would come out to $3900.00. Even better.
But why stop there? $10.00/lb would come to $6600.00/barrel.
Where did you get you $15.00 per quart? Did BareHoney mention a price somewhere?
Mark Berninghausen
$15 dollars a quart is a lot. but take a look the person who started this thread is asking $28 per lb. and up
$28 per lb. seems about fair eh
If they can get it I am all for them doing so. I will gladly sell them honey at one quarter that price so they can make some profit. But I don't know if I have what they want.
benstung, I don't know where you got that price from. I went to their site and most of what I saw was around $8.00 to $10.00 per lb.
Nice looking site, nice looking product line. I would love to sell them honey.
Mark Berninghausen
$15 per quart is our going rate here in Northwest Arkansas. Finagle the measurements however you want, that's how I sell it.
You label it that way and get away w/ it? Ain't no finagling about it. Honey has traditionally been sold by the lb for ages and ages. But, whatever works for ya.
You really get $60.00 per gallon? That comes out to $5.00 per lb. The economy must be better than it is here. I wholesale half gallon/6 lb "Jug-o-Honey"(TM) for $18.00 each, which is $3.00/lb. Maybe I should move to Arkansas.
Mark Berninghausen
No label, treatment-free honey, tastes better, people happily pay for a quality product. If they won't, then I don't need them as customers.
Yes, the economy is better, but there's a reason there are no commercial beekeepers here.
they list sweet white clover honey: $7 for 4 oz.
do the math

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
You've likely heard of the Navy SEAL dog that took part in the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden. Now meet the other Navy seals. Actually, they're sea lions. And dolphins.
For more than five decades, the Navy has enlisted sea lions, dolphins, and other marine mammals as an elite corps of underwater sentries, searchers, and mine-sweepers. Its Marine Mammal Program started in 1960 when weapons researchers studied a Pacific white-sided dolphin named Notty to see if she might teach them something about designing speedier torpedoes. She didn't, but the service has remained intriguiged by sea mammals' speed, stealth, sonar, and smarts. During the Vietnam War, specially trained dolphins were deployed to protect ships in Cam Ranh Bay. The Navy denies that they were dispatched to kill enemy divers as part of a "swimmer nullification program", though more recently sea lions have been trained to "attach restraint devices to swimmers." (The notion of dolphins as trained killers inspired The Day of the Dolphin, a 1973 movie starring George C. Scott.) Since the mid-1970s, the program has expanded to include beluga whales, seals, and and killer whales, though bottlenose dolphins and Californa sea lions have become its two mainstays due to their "their trainability, adaptability, and heartiness in the marine environment."
The Navy says its 100 or so marine mammals' primary missions are mine-hunting and "swimmer defense." Dolphins were first sent to the Persian Gulf in the late 1980s. In 1996, Navy dolphins assisted the Secret Service (PDF) during the Republican National Convention in their home port of San Diego, and NASA reportedly expressed interest in using sea lions to protect Space Shuttle launches (PDF). More recently, both dolphins and sea lions have been sent to the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea to help clear mines and guard ships. The Navy has hailed "swimmer defense dolphins" as "a strong deterrent against terrorist attacks" like the one on the USS Cole in 2000.
Animal-rights activists have long objected to the Navy's marine-mammal program, criticizing the use of benign sea creatures in military operations and the cramped conditions in which they are housed and transported. "Using animals for military defense is unnecessary and cruel and could very well cost lives—not save them," PETA wrote in response to a plan to use dolphins and sea lions to guard a naval base in Washington. The Navy claims that it treats its flippered conscripts humanely, noting that they are fed "higher-than-restaurant-quality fish" and travel in pools designed "to keep the animals in an environment as much like San Diego as possible." It also argues that its work has added to the scientific knowlege of these animals: "The more we know about marine mammals, the better we can protect them."

It would be no huge stretch of the imagination to say that on January 6th, when the Christmas decorations come down, I begin my countdown to the next holiday season, when I can once again open up my enormous box of Christmas movies.
Give me cheese, give me corn, give me Macauley Culkin, but I love a good (and a bad) Christmas movie. It's an obsession I inherited without shame from my dad, and which I am excited to build upon each year. Last year's top addition was Disney's Prep & Landing, this year it is Aardman Animations (in collaboration with Sony Pictures Imageworks and Sony Pictures Animation) Arthur Christmas. Coming from the people who gave Wallace and Gromit to the world, I didn't expect a run of the mill Christmas movie, I expected instant classic. I was not disappointed.
Aside from the credentials of the production company, the cast list was instantly promising. James McAvoy (X-Men: First Class) and Hugh Laurie (Stuart Little) to play the Claus brothers, Bill Nighy (The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy) as Grand Santa, with Jim Broadbent (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 and on as Horace Slughorn) and Imelda Staunton (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and on as Dolores Umbridge) as Mr and Mrs Claus.

Kevin Grandia | July 30, 2009
By Kevin Grandia • Thursday, July 30, 2009 - 17:37
Oil and gas giant Koch Industries is doling out more and more money to Democrats as it works to turn the polar ice caps into puddles in bipartisan fashion. Formerly regarded as a staunchly Republican funding machine, Koch has given nearly 30 percent of its overall campaign dollars to Democrats so far this year.
Some of that largesse ended up in the coffers of typically environment-friendly members, including Senators Max Baucus (D-MT) and Blanche Lincoln (D-AR). As E&E News reports ($ubscription req'd) and The Wonk Room relays, Senator Lincoln has collected $10,000 so far this year from Koch Industries, and Senator Baucus has collected $5,000.
Why are Senators Lincoln and Baucus accepting this dirty energy money from Koch? In the League of Conservation Voter's scorecard of pro-environment members for the 2nd session of the last Congress, Senator Lincoln scored 91% and Senator Baucus scored 100%.
Koch hasn't had a change of heart or any moral epiphany about its contribution to global warming and planetary demise. So why are these Senators suddenly taking oil and gas money from one of the world's worst polluters?
As we reported previously here at DeSmog Blog, Koch and its affiliates have funneled millions of dollars to industry front groups who contend that global warming is a liberal conspiracy rather than a scientifically proven fact. Koch-funded groups wage war on science and spout oil and gas industry lies to confuse people into believing that the status quo is just fine, which suits Koch's oily bottom line perfectly.
Despite the increased donations to Democrats, Koch continues to pour money into fueling its right wing agenda. Koch is bankrolling the astroturf groups Americans for Prosperity and FreedomWorks, two of the organizations orchestrating the racist, hate-fueled anti-Obama tea party protests.
By accepting Koch's dirty energy money, Senators Lincoln and Baucus are helping to legitimize Koch's efforts to attack President Obama, tea parties and all.

Koch Industries were probably involved in Swindle film
'There are other groups that are interested in the issue of global warming and the concerns about its costs. Koch Industries is working with other large corporations including AEP and the Southern company, on possibly financing a film that would counteract An inconvenient Truth. KOCH has also decided to finance a coalition that very likely will be administered through the National Association of Manufacturers. The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) has been running two ads in ten states that were financed by General Motors and the Ford Motor Company. CEI has a director on climate change and other employees working on the issue. We have met with KOCH, CEI and Dr. Michaels, and they meet among themselves periodically to discuss their activities.'

Global environmental and climate challenges
Limiting CO2 emissions does not solve the problem of climate regulation: according to the laws of nature will be cooling or warming in a cycle. Cooling leads to a reduction in favorable places for agriculture. Warming leads to an increase in storms, desertification in some places and flooding in certain areas. CO2 - this is an interim problem and solve problems should be in complex and on a higher intellectual level. If you compare the emissions from volcanic eruptions and emissions from the operation of industry, it will be understood that the main problem - not CO2. In addition, not only CO2 affects the environment and only a comprehensive approach can solve the problem of interaction between humans and the environment, of access to energy without harming the environment.

HCC's West Waynesville Campus to Offer Two New Programs
Haywood Community College's West Waynesville Campus Career Connections Center announces two new programs to prepare job-seekers for jobs that are available: CareWorks for in-home care and Hospitality Certification for area hotel, resort, and restaurant positions.
Hospitality Training
Jobs are available every spring in the Hospitality Industry of Western North Carolina but competition for those jobs is fierce. Want an advantage? Attend HCC's one week certificate class in Hospitality Skills.
This Hospitality class will give attendees: the basic skills needed for wait-staff, housekeeping and front office jobs; practice in the key skills of friendliness, helpfulness, and problem solving; and access to get Serve-Safe certification now required of every food establishment in North Carolina (this is a valuable credential to have when interviewing).
Participants will receive the "inside scoop" on getting hired and staying hired from a qualified instructor from one of the biggest hospitality employers in Western North Carolina. Another exclusive advantage from HCC's Hospitality Certificate Program will be direct access to local hospitality employers where they will come interview students with their new Hospitality Certificates during the college's Hire Haywood Job Fair on April 12th.
This class will be held at the HCC West Waynesville Campus, across from the Super Wal-Mart. The Hospitality Certificate Program is a 40 hour course which will be held April 8 through 12, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Register now by contacting the HCC West Waynesville Campus Career Connections Center at (828) 246-9233 or (828) 564-5093.
Hospitality employers interested in interviewing these qualified graduates at the Hospitality Reverse Job Fair should contact Rachael Clark at email@example.com to be added to our list of Employers.
Job-seekers who wish to provide in-home care for seniors and disabled clients can earn the new CareWorks certificate at HCC's West Waynesville Campus this spring.
Many in-home care job opportunities do not require Certified Nursing Assistant training. According to Adam Kessler, Manager of BAYADA Home Health Care, "The CareWorks class falls right in line with our mission at BAYADA Home Health Care: to help people live at home with comfort, independence, and dignity. We are proud to be a part of this wonderful program."
CareWorks, a 36-hour class, gives participants skills in Health Care Professional Development such as the nature of aging, recognizing dementia and cognitive impairment, sensitivity training for the aging, personal care, medication administration, assistive technology (transferring), infection control, professional ethics, CPR, airway obstruction removal, legal and safety issues, and HIPPA privacy rules.
In addition, participants will learn individual skills in the legal aspects of working in a patient's home, communication, individual learning styles, personality assessment, and how to run your business as an entrepreneur.
"In-home caregivers allow people to remain independent for as long as possible," said Johanna Stebbins, Branch Manager at ResCare HomeCare in Asheville, North Carolina. "It's vital to our communities that our direct support professionals have the opportunity to develop their skills. The class being offered by CareWorks helps train caregivers to provide high quality support for the growing number of people we serve."
HCC instructors and other care professionals from businesses and community organizations will instruct this class. To register or for more information, call Rachael Clark at (828) 564-5093.

New projects revitalizing St. Anthony
ST. ANTHONY, Idaho -
St. Anthony is a growing town, and that means the need for new projects.
A new pedestrian bridge follows an update to 12th Street West. That remodel added a walking path on the side of the road.
"Pedestrians would have to step back out in to the lane of traffic to get over the canal. So that spurred the idea, let's put in a bridge, a pedestrian-type crossing," said Neils Thueson, mayor of St. Anthony.
The bridge leads to the city ball park, which draws many people to that area.
The bridge is only a few weeks old, and it's already rusting. It is actually supposed to; it will turn a dark shade of brown, and then will need little maintenance.
The foot bridge was funded by grant money leftover from the 12th Street West improvements. There is a clear line on the road where that project ended. The city secured a grant to make over Main Street West starting in 2016.
"It will be total reconstruction. New asphalt, new curbs and gutters, sidewalks on both sides, and street lighting will all be part of that project," said Mayor Thueson
Up the street toward town, some old storefronts on Bridge Street are being redone.
David Holladay is one of the owners of a property on the corner. During the remodel, he discovered tile that had been covered up by an awning.
Paul Allen works across the street at Fall's Drug. He is happy to see that Holladay is keeping the tile.
"It's a good thing that they have been able to restore the beauty and the tile work that's been covered up by plain old aluminum," said Allen.
The mayor said he was delighted to see painting underway.
"That makes a big difference, that makes the whole community look better. I would hope that more storefront owners do the same thing."
The city is limited in what it can do because of private ownership.
Mayor Thueson said that St. Anthony's budget is in good shape. The new projects are mostly being funded by grants.

My one and only hive is a 10 frame all medium super. The hive was started the past Spring. Today was the 3rd day of my first sticky board mite check. to the best of my ability, I counted 25.
I also found the single larva that is in the attached pictures. Some beekeepers on Facebook say it may be Small Hive Beetle or Wax Moth .
This all very new to me. Would greatly appreciate your input.
