Actually, Alex Smith started playing at higher level at the end of 2010, after Singletary was fired.. but before Harbaugh was hired. Perhaps it was those few games that Harbaugh saw a QB that he could work with an mold into an elite player. If you consider being the 9th ranked passer last season and the #1 ranked QB decent.. what's spectacular? I don't think it's even about motivation, it's about putting the players in a position to succeed and then convincing the players what you are giving them is going to help them win.
Singletary was a great player, but he's a MORON.
I would say Singletary = 20%. Singletary could not motivate these guys. There were significant coaching blunders here and there. The team seem to quit on Singletary. I love Mike Singletary the player but as a coach he didn't connect. Sometimes new management will come in and rub everyone the wrong way. Tha'st what it seemed like but I am a Giants fan, looking from the outside.
And to make my case even stronger, Alex Smith. . . . . .enough said!!!!!!!
I think Harbaugh helped customize the offense around what Alex Smith does well.
Why would you think Singletary's handprints are all over the defense.. Singletary doesn't know any Xs and Os.. he didn't call one play, he didn't draw up any either. Greg Manusky was hired under Mike Nolan to run the defense, he was Singletary's defensive coordinator his entire time there.. if you want to give anybody credit, it's Nolan, if not Nolan then Manusky. Most coaches have formations or strategies posted on the walls of their office or classrooms.. Singletary had slogans. Singletary didn't believe in 'trying to trick anybody'.. Singletary didn't believe that a great scheme or plan won football games, he thought that whoever had the stronger will would win the game.. no technique or strategy.. just will.. how many games are won on sheer will?
The ONLY guy Singletary ever campaigned to draft and start on defense was Taylor Mays, he didn't even last the whole season as a starter. All of the other defensive starters were brought in under Nolan, Singletary basically had Nolan's team. Singletary fought to start Mays, he lasted 4 or 5 games.. Singletary fought to have RG Chilo Rachal start.. he's currently a Chicago Bear.
Mike Singletary was the worst coach in Niners' history.. and it isn't even close. It makes me CRINGE at the level of incompetence that he demonstrated.. his monday press conferences became MUST SEE events, because he couldn't tell you what went wrong, because he doesn't understand the Xs and Os and didn't understand everything he just saw on the field.. and to hear him try to BS his way out of things. My favorite was when he tried to convince everyone of his idiotic run-run-run-punt offense was, to paraphrase:"Don't you think Payton Manning would rather hand the ball off than have to throw the ball?" After you hear something like that, I just lost all respect for the guy. In 2010, in a game at KC, Singletary's offense was SO predicatable, the defense was CORRECTLY calling out the plays based on formation and personnel group.. it was a massacre.
I can't ignore the reality, I lived it in horror with every other Niners' fan. It's really insulting to hear ANYBODY give Mike Singletary ANY credit for the Niners' current success. I will give Singletary props for straightening out Vernon Davis, he was another T.O. ready to explode til Singletary got him in check, Vernon Davis is still full of himself, but he's a team player.. and that's what counts.
Singletary should stick to position coaching and make a living there, he'd never be a defensive coordinator, because he doesn't know Xs and Os.. he can't be a head coach because he can't help either the offensive or defensive coordiantor.. because he doesn't know how to scheme or draw up plays.. half the time he didn't even wear a headset, what was he going to say? How can you overrule somebody on a playcall when you don't understand the plays? Singletary was a disaster.. he robbed the fans of two seasons with his BS and probably shaved a couple years of the fans' lives w/ his maddening reasoning and PURELY idiotic ideas.
I don't know if you can tell, but this is a SORE subject for most Niners' die-hard fans.
Your talking as if you were in the huddles and were at the practices- you were not. I like the Giants but I couldn't give you credible info on how any of them were trained or learned their positions b/c I was not on the team. It's no coincidence that Niners style of D resempled Singletary's style of play.

The Part B regulations have traditionally included "notes"
They followed certain sections of the regulations, to clarify a specific provision or provide guidance on how to implement the requirement. One hundred and twenty-six (126) notes were included in the NPRM, including 50 new notes that were added relating to the IDEA Amendments of 1997 and other new provisions included in the NPRM.
Extensive Public Comments on Notes.
The Department received an unexpectedly large number of public comments about the notes. The commenters generally expressed concern about the significant number of notes in the NPRM, and stated that the substance of many of the notes went well beyond clarification and guidance, into regulating by notes! Commenters stated that:
- any note that is considered to be a requirement should be incorporated into the text of the regulations;
- all notes should be deleted or otherwise moved to a technical assistance document; and
- if any notes are retained, they should clearly be used only for providing guidance, examples, or clarifying information.
All NPRM Notes Removed from Final Regulations.
In light of the comments received, all notes included in the NPRM have been removed from the final regulations, and have been addressed as follows2 :
- THE SUBSTANCE OF ANY NOTE THAT SHOULD BE A REQUIREMENT (i.e., 53 of the 126 notes) has been added to the text of the regulations;
- INFORMATION IN NOTES CONSIDERED DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO IEPs AND OTHER SELECTED IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES has been included in the "Notice of Interpretation" on IEPs in Appendix A (formerly Appendix C);
- THE SUBSTANCE OF ANY NOTE THAT PROVIDES USEFUL GUIDANCE or clarifying information has been incorporated into the discussion of the applicable comments in the "Analysis of Comments..." (Attachment 1 to the final regulations).
* On October 22, 1997, a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) was published in the Federal Register to amend the regulations under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The purposes of the NPRM were to implement changes made by the IDEA Amendments of 1997, and make other changes that facilitate the implementation of Part B. The changes made since the NPRM are based mainly on public comments received.
2 Table Showing Disposition of Notes. Attachment 3 to the final regulations includes a table on the "Disposition of NPRM Notes in final...Regulations."

Re: Salmon skin
Isn't the rule of thumb presentation side first?
So i guess it depends on whether you want to serve it skinside up or down on the plate.
i will usually sear off skinside first, like anna , then plate skinside up.

Re: Salmon skin
Another tip for crispy salmon skin:
Make very thin slices with a very sharp knife, crossways accross the fillet, about 5mm apart and no more than a few mm deep. Makes the skin crisp beautifully.

Kimber makes tight guns so give it time loosen up a little.
My personal experience has been if you keep a tight grip and allow the gun to "jump" as little as possible it forces the slide to cycle completely, as the gun loosens up it will get better.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
mr. Parkey:
Thank you for your recent letter regarding the proposed regulations of the texas parks and wildlife department (tpwd) creating a "white list" for exotic aquatic plants. This provision, included in tpwd's sunset bill, hb 3391, passed in the 2009 legislative session.
As you may know, in september 2010, i instructed tpwd to go beyond the statutory deadline established in hb 3391 to ensure that all outstanding questions concerning the proposed "white list" and rules were addressed. While i certainly think that a great deal of progress has been made, i am not confident that the arrived-upon proposal is enforceable or realistic for texas. I don't believe any of us understood the full scope and significant ramifications that adoption of a "white list" would present.
With the list and rules now complete, it is clear that approval of this measure would severely impact our state's economy and the biofuel, nursery, and gardening industries throughout texas. Therefore, i have called on tpwd to forego any further work and cease implementation of this effort. This request will be clarified in statute during the current legislative session. I feel this decision is in the best interest of the citizens of texas.
I will continue working toward a common-sense solution to prevent the introduction of invasive plants into texas while still protecting the environment and economy of texas. While we can all agree that the last thing we want is another giant salvinia to invade our lakes and waterways, the "white list" approach is just not practical. It is vital that we continue to make a proactive effort to ensure that the natural resources across this state are protected for generations to come.
Thank you again for contacting my office regarding this issue. Constituent input is a vital part of the legislative process. If i may be of assistance to you in the future regarding this or any other issue, please do not hesitate to contact me. As always, it is a pleasure to serve you.

If you think this won't affect your state think again.
This is from Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission, Regulations Committee Meeting,Nov. 3, 2010 Look at Item 4 about 2/3's of the way down the page.
COMMISSIONER HOLT: How about other states? Are we ‑‑ all relative to the regulation of microalgae? Are we talking to them or do we know that ‑‑ is that ‑‑ I assume, is obviously a major worry of the biofuels.
MR. SAUL: And it is.
COMMISSIONER HOLT: Every state ends up with its own regs and they're all different and ‑‑ I mean, is that true right now?
MR. SAUL: Yes, it is. And, in the Sunbelt area, which is where the principal development would be ‑‑
COMMISSIONER HOLT: Right.
MR. SAUL: ‑‑ we've been in contact with all the states and talked to them and they are ‑‑ we are regulated differently.
COMMISSIONER HOLT: Okay.
MR. SAUL: And they're looking at Texas right now to see what it is that we're going to come forward with. We have some that are very, very stringent on everything that is done. Others that are covered under a very general exotic species program. So we're kind of walking the line right now when you ‑‑ as you come down here, just to make sure that we've covered ‑‑ that everything will be covered, whether it's us or the feds, it's okay. It's just, are we making sure that the, you know, the environmental systems will be covered.

|This is not about restricting dozens of plants. Texas is banning ALL but 200+ exotic plants. Thousands will be illegal to keep.

There were between 50-100 people at the Fort Worth TWPD public meeting last night. All but one, who spoke was against this law as it currently stands. Two or three said they agreed with a white list, but not this law. Most were against the white list and thought the black list was the way it should be handled.
Some points people shared:
1. The main way plants were spread ie, boats and such is not addressed in this legislation. Bringing new plants in through ponds and retailers is not the way these invasive plants are spread.
2. TWPD can't identify specific plants even as they compile this list. There are some plants on their denied list that are naturalized in Texas. There are plants that are not on their denied list that are on the Federal Noxious Weed list. (Rhubarb is on their denied list. No more pies folks!)
3. How do they expect their game wardens to be able ID plants when they try to visit places for inspection. One business owner spoke of her experience of showing a warden books and the plants in questions to help him ID what he wanted to fine her for. He realized he had mis-ID'd her inventory. What a nightmare since now there are many less blacklisted plants and they don't even know them!
4. They couldn't enforce the black list with few plants on it so how will they enforce the white list with many more plants on it?
5. They expect the citizenry to do their weed assessment reports in order to get the plants added to the white list. They came up with this criterion and now want to put this job on the citizens. Really now?! How many plants do you think will be added if citizens have to try to do their job that they have been unable to do? They have had submitted to them 2000 plants. Less than 10% (200) have been approved. They have denied 3% (60) plants. That accounts for 18% of the submissions. They have removed from consideration 5% (99) plants submitted because of "insufficient information, invalid name or mostly terrestrial. [One example of invalid name is Cryptocornye balansea. They have said its a variety of C. crispatula, yet C. crispatula is not on their prohibited list or approved list. If a plant is not on any list it become illegal. Insufficient information is self explanatory. They can't possibly know about every plant so it's automatically banned. The category mostly terrestrial is interesting because they have Mexican petunia on their banned list and I've only ever seen it growing in yards. Why some work and others don't is not understood?] What happened to the other 82% of plants submitted?
6. This legislation of "white list" has been passed WITHOUT public knowledge. While they have held hearings after the fact about what plants to be added the white list law is there. Few have even known about the hearing they have held.
7. This white list will put retailers (growers and retailers) out of business. Many businesses have prepared for the upcoming season and will severely hurt or destroyed because they will have to destroy their inventory. Even if they could survive this the future with such a small approved list of approved plants they could have enough sales to stay in business.
8. While ponds are open vessels, aquariums in homes do meet the criterion of the law for keeping prohibited species yet they are still going to be be banned from keeping exotic species.
9. TWPD recognizes all the problems as stated above but they still "are going to try". What sense does that make? They know they can't ID them, they know they can't test them all, they know their model assessment is flawed, they know they can't enforce them, they know citizens won't know what plants are acceptable and they go forward?... unreasonable!!
10. TWPD has refused to share how they came to the plants scores on their assessments. They said it's on someone else's computer system and they can't release it to the public. They said they aren't intentionally hiding it.
11. They said whoever is using the plants has the burden of proof for ID and will be held responsible for keeping the plant. It doesn't matter if people think the plant is correctly identified.
12. The permit amount of $263 per year stands FOR EVERYONE.
13. Citizens do not want to be put into the position of being illegal, rather by intent or through ignorance. With the law as it is written, it will be impossible to avoid this. Try as one might to comply, you just can't know all the plants Latin names and or identify them. Even TWPD can't.
14. The economic impact on the aquatic business has not been considered. This encompasses the small mom and pop nursery, to the pet store, the landscapers, to the big box stores that sell pond equipment.
15. The conservation and reintroduction of endangered plant and animals through controlled aquaria has not been considered. One can't try to keep and breed species if you can't recreate habitat.
16. There will be a public hearing in AUSTIN in front of the legislative commission where you can make comments. This link tells about the session. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/business...ublic_comment/ YOU NEED TO ATTEND and speak up. This is the meeting that is YEAH or NAY FOR IT GOING INTO LAW.
I'm sure I have missed some points brought forward but this is what I can recall as I write this. The italicized words are mine. If others have more to add, please post. WE HAVE TO CONTACT OUR STATE SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES. This is our only hope. The TWPD will not voluntarily give up their power.
Those of you in other states, this will be a precedent set for this to come into your state. Please encourage your friends and relative in TX to contact their congress people. You can find sample letters here:
I will be composing an email to send out asap.
I NEVER visit this part of the site, and didn't even know this was happening.
Similar things happen with reptiles, attempting to ban species of snakes because they have the "potential to endanger the public or natural resources of the state of washington" I know snakes, and some species they were trying to ban live in the SAHARA DESERT, a far far far cry from SEATTLE climate. Long story short, they didn't know what they were talking about and some parents who saw "Snakes on a plane" too many times freaked out and got the bill in motion. Luckily, it didn't pass.
This thread needs to be Duplicated on the General Planted Tanks and Plants discussion boards for the good of the hobby.
Bob Alston helped me see a connection I missed when he posted an article from the Fort Worth Star Telegram about the pond keepers reaction to all this, only to realize this is the doing of Senator Glenn Hegar, who, guess what, is on the Sunset Commission that convinced Congress to mandate the TPWD!
This is the guy ya'll need to write, fax, e-mail or interview with:
Please remember to be courteous, respectful and mindful of the senator's time. Thank you!
Reply Letter From Dr. Chilton
Hey there. This was the response to the form letter I posted earlier that I got back from Dr. Chilton:
Thank you for your thoughts on HB3391. We understand your concern about the potential for rejecting a plant species that does not need to be rejected. That is why all species currently on the draft rejected list are being re-evaluated.
All persons that conducted risk analyses were professional biologists or trained horticulturists. Once the initial analyses were conducted each was reviewed by botanists hired through the Texas Invasive Plant and Pest Council (an organization composed of industry, academia, governmental entities, and non-governmental entities. Additionally, biologists at Inland Fisheries Division Heart of the Hills Research Station conducted additional checks on species that had been rejected. Finally, staff utilized valid information received directly from aquarium, nursery, and aquatic gardening industries as well as academics, and information from other state and federal entities.
There is a misconception that the Texas Legislature mandated automatic approval of some species. That was not the case. The statute reads:
In adopting rules that relate to exotic aquatic plants, the department shall strive to ensure that the rules are as permissive as possible without allowing the importation or possession of plants that pose environmental, economic, or health problems.
The approved list must include an exotic aquatic plant that: (1) is widespread in this state; and (2) is not, as determined by the department, a cause of environmental, economic, or health problems.
In compiling the approved list, the department shall develop a process to evaluate the potential harm that may be caused by the importation or possession of exotic aquatic plant species into this state. The process must include the use of: (1) a risk assessment model to help determine the potential harm of a species to the aquatic environment; (2) published scientific research findings; (3) findings from regulatory agencies; or (4) scientific analyses from third-party laboratories.
Please note the Department has been instructed to be permissive, but not to allow plants that pose environmental, economic, or health problems. Further, the Department was instructed to evaluate the potential harm that could be caused by these species.
TPW staff is conducting species evaluations with reviews and re-evaluations built into the process to avoid the potential for error as much as possible. Indeed, after further evaluation some species that were previously in the reject category have now been moved to the approved category and will be recommended by staff for inclusion on the Approved List at the January TPW Commission meeting.
Again, your input is greatly appreciated.

Wow that is creepy. That story sound like an urban myth kind of tale, but it was only second-hand for you so it sounds like it really did happen like that.
Still, for an overburdened and underfunded agency I guess they keep their feelers out for the worst offenders trafficking in the most dangerous organisms, in Texas case crayfish, apple snails and Salvinia molesta.

Very disconcerting and the outlook is too hazy to take chances and even worse if we do nothing.
Please remember to be courteous when contacting those TWPD representatives. Like I said Dr. Chilton was very receptive when I spoke with him. He said that his office welcomes more feedback and input.
I think that a good main point to convey is that many people are just concerned that this legislation will discourage hobbyists and cause economic damage for people in aquarium-related and horticultural industries.
A rare obscure plant like Erios pose virtually no risk.
You bet.
Definitely a threat
Not likely.
Some Rotala's? Yes and no, most of the rare interesting plants will not make it to the list since they are all indoor CO2 enriched cultivated plants.
When pond folk get weeds, they add it to their ........pond which is exposed to nature outsdoors/birds etc.
Since few aquarist will save their cull material and release them into a local pond/stream......"composted weeds" pose little risk.
This is a good opportunity for the State to educate and get help form the aquarium community. More eyes and ears and concerned people about the natural resources of the State.
This is a good book for looking at the risk and issues about weeds(all species)
What factors influence the invasibility of aquatic weeds?
What would be an ideal weed?
Humans transporting weeds all over the place adds risk obviously.
But are these humans releasing these into the environment or composting them?
Few hobbyist will toss the weeds into a lake, adn cute fish that got too large?
Very likely.
So why not outlaw all tropical fish(except a white list??)
They pose a larger risk to the State than aquatic plants do.
Please remember to be courteous when contacting those TWPD representatives. Like I said Dr. Chilton was very receptive when I spoke with him. He said that his office welcomes more feedback and input.

WQ223, New May 1994
Editor's noteThe printed version of this publication includes illustrations.
A primary need and concern for most poultry producers is managing litter. You must protect ground and surface water and fulfill regulatory requirements. Usually, the goals are met by applying litter to the land in a way that uses potentially polluting nutrients, such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potash (K2O) and organic matter.
View litter as a fertilizer resource and manage it like commercial fertilizer in your fertility program. You can damage water quality by meeting fertility requirements with commercial fertilizer then applying litter for good measure.
Missouri waste application regulations are based on the rate of nitrogen applied. With this plan, the phosphate (P2O5) and potash applied may exceed crop needs greatly.
The best fertility plan may apply less nitrogen from waste than the crop needs and buy supplemental nitrogen to balance the fertility program. Applying phosphorus to fields with a Bray 1-P test level of more than 800 pounds per acre may aggravate surface water quality problems.
It is highly recommended that you analyze a representative sample of poultry litter for nutrient values immediately before spreading. The analysis, in addition to soil tests, determines the land application rate.
This publication provides guidance for application of waste with the benefit of a lab analysis and a soil test. Other publications in this series address application of dairy waste with other plans.
Unlike commercial fertilizers, poultry litter is a highly variable substance. Even within a given animal specie, waste can vary up to 50 percent. Other management styles peculiar to poultry operations, such as building cleaning on a certain schedule, dictate a different management technique than commercial fertilizer that can just be ordered and spread.
In contrast to commercial fertilizer, litter has the potential for nutrients (primarily ammonia nitrogen) to be lost to the atmosphere after field spreading. Table 1 shows the available ammonia nitrogen as a function of time until incorporated into the soil.
Table 1Litter ammonia nitrogen loss by days until incorporated into the soil. Unavailable portion is lost to the atmosphere
Table 2 lists the percent of available organic nitrogen available by year. Table 3 gives the percent of various nutrients available in the growing season after application.
Table 2Litter organic nitrogen available by year
Table 3Other minerals and micronutrients available in litter
Table 4Lab analysis for litter and rate of past applications
This publication details a procedure for calculating the amount of litter to apply to meet the soil test recommendations for nitrogen using a poultry litter of known nutrient analysis. The soil test may call for more than 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre to be added to satisfy crop needs. This exceeds the 100 pounds per acre allowed under the conservative management approach.
However, you may wish to use this worksheet with the conservative approach of applying 100 pounds of N to see what happens with P and K.
Blank worksheets are included for actual applications.
This approach cannot be used if the Department of Natural Resources has issued a letter of approval based on the conservative approach of applying not more than 100 pounds of nitrogen per year, regardless of the crop and the production level of the crop.
A fescue hay field soil/plant filter is available for receiving broiler litter. The accompanying soil test contains fertilizer recommendations for a yield goal of 3 tons of fescue hay per year from the soil/plant filter area.
From the soil test, the following nutrient applications are recommended:
Given this information and the laboratory analysis of the broiler litter (Table 4), how many tons per acre of broiler litter should be applied to meet the nitrogen needs of the fescue?
Litter has been applied the past three years with the rates and analyses noted in Table 4. The litter applied will not be incorporated into the soil. Ammonia nitrogen loss is 80 percent.
*Note163 pounds per acre P2O5 is applied vs. 75 pounds per acre recommended by soil test.
*Note136 pounds per acre K2O is applied vs. 140 pounds per acre recommended by soil test.
The information is the same as Example 1, except no litter was applied the past three years. Use only the information for this year (Table 4).
*Note196.8 pounds per acre P2O5 is applied vs. 75 pounds per acre recommended by the soil test.
*Note164 pounds per acre K2O is applied vs. 140 pounds per acre recommended by the soil test.
Broiler litter is spread on corn ground, according to the soil test and the lab analysis of the litter (Table 4). The litter is not incorporated into the soil within seven days. Ammonia nitrogen loss is 80 percent. Litter was spread on the area the past three years at the rates listed in Table 4. The yield goal for corn is 160 bushels per acre. Nutrient requirements are noted in the soil test for corn. A previous soybean (legume) crop provides a 30 pound per acre nitrogen credit as noted on the soil test sheet.

text: I have a five acre lot and am currently running four "double deep" hives that are all strong currently. I have not had any trouble with the neighbors complaining and have always tried to keep the bees out of the swimming pools and not let them bother any neighbors. I have recently bought four more hives that I have yet to assemble and I am having second thoughts on having a total of eight hives in my yard and am I trying my luck with the neighbors?

Deputies Notify Family Of Remains
MARTIN COUNTY - Martin County deputies are on the case of human remains found in local woods.
Authorities learned Friday afternoon of a human skeleton about two miles down an unmarked path off of Wild Cat Rd., near Williamston.
Dr. Megan Perry, Associate Professor of Anthropology at ECU and her team helped deputies excavate the remains Saturday morning from 9:30am until 1p.m. Dr. Perry works as the Pott County Medical Examiner's Consultant and will assist in the examination of the body.
Dr. Perry said it is too early to determine to age of the body or how long the body was left in the woods.
The woods are on private property; investigators reached the scene on all-terrain vehicles.
Deputies would not release the gender, age range of the remains or where the family is from.

To the editor:
We have embarked together into this New Year. "Ye have not passed this way heretofore," (Joshua 3:4). "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come,...." (11 Tim. 3:1-17). Study the text carefully and be prepared.
It's hard celebrating your birthday with Jesus.
Don't get me wrong... if there's anyone I would like to share birthday associations with, it would be the main man himself. I'm just saying, it's a little difficult sharing the spotlight with someone referred to as the Savior.
My Christmas birthday has always been somewhat of a struggle, if you will.
The first struggle I've always encountered has been the disbelief of the audience.
"You're a Christmas baby?" they ask, eyes wide.
To the editor,
I, personally, and on behalf of the Soldier Support Group, would like to thank everyone that helped to make our Christmas boxes for our troops a success.
I am very thankful and proud that I can call Cynthiana and Harrison County my home. Ask anyone in town, "Whats happening?" and the answer is always, "nothing ever happens here." But this past year I've had the pleasure to learn and get to know that there is all types of things happening.
A Legislative Perspective on the Kentucky General Assembly
with State Representative Tom McKee
FRANKFORT – Earlier this month, Kentucky's farmers got a welcome dose of good news when we learned 2008 would be another record year for the money paid for our crops and livestock.
Dear Editor:
By Mary McKenzie, Hospice grief counselor
As the holidays surround us, the absence of a loved one continues to remind us that it is not going to be the same this year. Even though it has been in the back of our minds; it really was so far away, and now it is here. Holiday grief contains elements of dread.
To the people of Harrison County and the employees of the Harrison County School System:
With Donald Richie's recent resignation and Kate Darnell's hiring, it was time to re-evaluate the "news beats" for Kate and I.
For years the city beat has been mine. In fact, at one time, I covered both city and county from their police and sheriff's departments to their governing bodies.
When I first began covering the Harrison County Fiscal Court, Judge Russell Stephens herded the eight magistrates into the back room of the courthouse. That room is now used as Judge Alex Barnett's office.
To the Editor:
In 1995, after recovering from cerebral hemorrhage, I made Nannette's beer cheese at Ken's New Market. Everyone liked it so well, I started making and selling it. Connie and Joe Lemons sold it to help me out with my bills.
Giving some to the Lions Club Auction one night, someone reported me to the health department. So, I went to the state and got my license and permit to sell it. I am still in business this year (2008).
Pictured above is the sixth grade class of 1940 at Buena Vista School. Pictured with his students is teacher Raymond Ward, top right.
On Monday morning, I turned in my notice to resign as news writer here at The Cynthiana Democrat.
Next Friday, Nov. 21, will be my last day.
It was a hard decision, I love this job and the people I've worked with over the past five (well, almost five) years. But as my downtown studio grows, I find balancing the two jobs impossible.
The people of Cynthiana have responded well to my work and I'm not able to serve them to my best ability with things as they have been.
It's hard to sit at this desk and write and not think about the person who used to sit at this desk and write.
I've been blessed to acquire many journalism mentors. And while I studied journalism at Western Kentucky University, most of my true education took place in the same room I now consider my office.
While I'm so excited to work for the paper I called home for many summers and a winter, it's also a little sad. My hire was only brought about because of Donald Richie's resignation.
Sitting at the table behind my husband and me, a young woman at a local restaurant got my attention by dropping loud F-bombs.
I know some Christians would have cleared their throats and announced, "Young lady, as a Christian I find your language offensive."
However, I tend to think that's not helpful and makes Christians look like fragile weenies.
On behalf of David Knipper's, children, family and friends, we would like to thank the community for the donations that we received to take care of his arrangements and burial.
We would like to thank Ware Funeral Home for their time and patience with us.
Also all the prayers and cards that we all received.
You will never know how much we appreciate what was done for all of his family and friends.
As his mother, I really appreciate the friendship and love that has been shown to me by the community and my close friends.
When the message is upsetting to some folks, it is always easier to attack the messenger rather than the message.
This letter is in response to the inflammatory opinions expressed by Mr. Bill Doan as printed in the Nov. 20th edition of the Democrat. Mr. Doan made several statements concerning the Harrison County School District that are not only counter-productive but also demean our students, faculty, and staff.
The readers of The Cynthiana Democrat who graduated from Cynthiana High School might be interested in purchasing a Christmas ornament depicting the memory of C.H.S. The ornaments' design features a drawing of C.H.S. by Mike Gray and the other side displays the "Bulldog" emblematic of the bulldog spirit. Ornaments are white with kelly green color.
The ornaments sell for $10 and can be purchased at the Cozy Cottage Beauty Shop. If you would like to purchase one by mail please call 859-234-4651.
Dear Editor,
Centuries ago God promised through the prophets that He would give His Son. "Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel" (Isaiah 7:14, KJV). The Messiah, who is the Son of the Living God, came into the world for one purpose only: to save souls through His atoning death on the cross,
When somebody says, "I hope you won't take this the wrong way," it's safe to say that what follows is not something you're eager to hear.
That's how a woman started a conversation with me during a women's retreat where I was the speaker.
When she said that we were in the kitchen at the retreat center, picking at leftover brownies. The brownie bit I had just swallowed sank like an anchor in my stomach and I froze.
This is to the unknown woman who hit my 2007 blue Blazer Nov. 5, 2008 at Food Lion parking lot at 5 p.m.
She wouldn't and insisted I not call the police. "Oh! I can push out that bumper and it will be fine," she said.
Well I hope she can live with herself and what she did to my parked car.
It's costing me $1,000 to fix the damage she caused, and she said, "Oh I have insurance but we don't need it."
Well I hope when, and if she reads this she can live with what she did to me.

Reviews of this property
We enjoyed the appartment very much.
It was very clean and tidy.
Mário was very helpful during our stay and pointed out everything to visit on the map he gave us when checking in.
The location was good and everything was in a walking distance.
Thank you for having us and we will definitely stay here again if we come back sometime.
The apartment was very nice and included everything we needed. Especially the location of the apartment was great! Right in the middle of Portos centre, next to the Clerigos tower and nice restaurants. You could easy reach all of Portos attractions by foot. I would recommend this apartment to couples who like being in the city!
Mario, a charm my arrival was two hours before I let him know and seven minutes was ayi
The great apartment overlooking the gorre of the clergy, very bright
I recommend putting some silla.con support for vdr la.tele
Olveria again and everything spotless
Mario, un encanto mi llegada fue de dos horas antes se lo hice saber y en 7 minutos estaba ayi
El apartamento genial con vista a la gorre de los clerigos, muy luminoso
Yo recomendaria poner alguna silla.con respaldo para vdr la.tele
Olveria otra vez y todo limpisimo
Very clean apartment, very good location, everything relatively new. Small is beautiful, as we say. Was a very uncomplicated long weekend in Porto. We can only recommend this hotel!
Sehr sauberes Appartment, sehr gute Lage, alles relativ neu. Klein aber fein, wie man bei uns sagt. War ein sehr unkompliziertes langes Wochenende in Porto. Wir können diese Unterkunft nur empfehlen!
Situated right underneath the clerigos tower, byclerigos is perfect for exploring the city of porto. Althoug Mario pointed us to some great restaurants, we did use the kitchen to cook a homemade meal and eat it while watching a movie on the english hollywood channel. Mario's flexibility concerning the checkout really helped us catching an early metro to the airport.
In short: comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and a clean bathroom. Some late night noise from partygoers on the streets (it is also in walking distance from the bar district), but nothing to keep you awake.
Thanks mario, for a perfect stay in a lovely city.
Very good welcome from Mario, who have shown us the sites visited, that gave us a good address or eating. Apartment very well located and tastefully decorated. Negative point somewhat poorly insulated apartment. Overall very good value for money
Très bonne accueil de la part de Mario, qui nous as indiqué les sites a visités , qui nous a donné de bonne adresse ou manger . Appartement très bien situé et décoré avec goût. Petit point négatif appartement un peu mal isolé. Dans l'ensemble très bon rapport qualité prix
Although we stuck in traffic jam with the bus and were really too late, Mario was very friendly. The next time, we would prefer the metro, there is a station in 3 min walk.
He gave us a map and recommended us some places for shopping/ eating / visiting.
The accomodation is clean and central.
We had a little bit difficulties to find the right house, because there is no housenumber, but Mario opened the door when we arrived.
We would stay there again.
Mario is very welcoming and attentive (tips to discover Porto welcome bottle of ... Porto of course ...)
We recommend the apartment very good (everything can be done on foot).
To be taken as imperative and very typical of another time: the Electrico that leads to the mouth of the Douro
Apartment slightly noisy but that's part of the fun;)
Elise and Stéphane
Mario est vraiment très accueillant et attentionné (bons plans pour découvrir Porto, petite bouteille de bienvenue...de Porto bien sûr...)
Nous recommandons son appartement très bien situé ( tout peut se faire à pied ).
A prendre impérativement car très typique et d'un autre temps: l'électrico qui mène à l'embouchure du Douro
Appartement légèrement bruyant mais cela fait partie du fun ;)
Elise et Stéphane
Fantastic apartment in the heart of Porto. Mario was there on our arrival and gave us a map and directions on the city. If we go back there, again for sure!
Fántastico apartamento en el corazón de Oporto. Mario estaba allí a nuestra llegada y nos dio un mapa e indicaciones sobre la ciudad. Si volvemos allí, repetimos seguro!

The neoliberal framework of deregulation may have finally have had its day in New Zealand. The Royal Commission's report into the Pike River disaster - which is both highly political and utterly damning - blames successive governments for creating and presiding over the regulations (or lack of) directly responsible for the conditions under which the tragedy occurred. For the full extent of this, see Duncan Garner's Corporate, Government and departmental manslaughter. Garner argues that the 'genesis of this tragedy started in 1992 when National watered down health and safety rules in the Department of Labour'. He says that 'This is a debacle of monumental proportions and massive change is necessary, at both departmental and Government level'. For further detail of how the orthodoxy of light regulation contributed to the disaster, see Andrea Vance's very good summary of the Royal Commission's report: Cost-cutting drive at tragedy's heart.
Similarly, Tracy Watkins says that the report is 'an acknowledgement that successive governments and the bureaucracy have failed workers in the worst possible way. It marks a turning point away from the orthodoxy of the past 20 years' - see: Pike River report a damning indictment. She says 'It is a damning indictment on a regulatory regime in New Zealand that has seen layers of prescriptive regulations peeled back to balance safety considerations against productivity. In the wake of the leaky-buildings fiasco, and equally damning evidence from the Commission of Inquiry into the Canterbury earthquakes, our confidence in our public institutions and the rules they work under must now be seriously shaken'. Likewise, the Stuff website reports that 'The royal commission report into the Pike River disaster is likely to force an overhaul of light-handed safety laws that have left New Zealand ranked as one of the most dangerous countries for workers in the developed world' - see: Pike River: Safety overhaul 'urgently needed'.
There needs to be a commitment to a timeline for implementing the recommendations, writes Gordon Campbell, because 'Key is now mulling over whether to follow the Royal Commission's advice, or to subvert it' - see: Royal Commission Pike River report. Looking more broadly, Colin James also sees deregulation - or inadequate regulation - as the cause of a host of problems in the modern world and politics - see: Risks from both under and overregulation.
Although the Pike River mining tragedy was initially deemed to be non-political by many, it has been politicised with the reports release. There could be electoral implications too, with National's competence in government already under fire. The damning report is essentially a compendium of the political and corporate negligence that led to the preventable deaths of 29 men. People will be increasingly angry when the full implications of the report sink in.
The National Government will be hoping to escape the public opprobrium with Labour Minister Kate Wilkinson resigning from her portfolio. But John Armstrong condemns this, saying Wilkinson should be resigning from Cabinet, not just one portfolio - see: Wilkinson's resignation the least she could get away with. Armstrong also makes the interesting argument that the Prime Minister was at fault for putting such an 'economic dry' into the portfolio in the first place: 'Key's mistake is that he put a born-again deregulator into a portfolio where regulations were in desperate need of promulgation and then enforcement. Few other National Party ministers display a tone and demeanour which is so avowedly hostile to the interests of the workforce compared with employers'.
The Herald editorial today also criticises Wilkinson for not resigning 15 months earlier when her department's failings were first acknowledged - see: Let miners' legacy be a turning point. And in refusing to resign from Cabinet, it appears that Wilkinson is yet another minister using the policy famously instigated in 1943 by Bob Semple (Labour Minister of Works) who proclaimed 'I am responsible, but not to blame' for failures in his ministry. Her partial resignation also echoes that of Denis Marshall who only resigned his Conservation portfolio nearly a year after the 1995 Cave Creek disaster.
According to the NBR's Rob Hosking, Wilkinson will hardly be missed as the Minister of Labour as she 'always looked out of her depth', and her 'lawyer's approach' to the role wasn't always useful - see: Wilkinson's exit gives chance for minister with drive.
Andrea Vance points out that the Pike River disaster is turning from a major plus to a major negative for the Government: 'The prime minister's stocks rose sky high in the weeks following the disaster. But almost two years on from the death of the 29 miners, their families feel betrayed.... That Key will not return to Greymouth for the release speaks volumes' - see: National braces for Pike River backlash.
National's saving grace might, however, be the bipartisan nature of the extreme deregulatory approach taken to the mining industry. The main party of the opposition, Labour, has it's hands tied over the issue and will be feeling rather uncomfortable now. After all, Labour was in power for a decade and actually bedded in those reforms rather than repealed them. The Pike River mine - which the Royal Commission report said should never have been allowed to open - opened while Labour was in power, and the responsible minister was Trevor Mallard. This is a fact pointed out by David Farrar in Armstrong on Pike River and Cameron Slater in Should more heads roll?. Having fingers pointed at the opposition will help deflect some blame. Labour leader David Shearer is promising that if any of his MPs were partly responsible for creating the conditions for the disaster then he will also take action against them. So Wilkinson may not be the final political victim of the mining tragedy - Trevor Mallard might want to consider his options.
That mining companies sometimes put profits ahead of safety will surprise no-one with the slightest knowledge of the industry's history. That successive governments in the 21st century could allow them to get away with it for so long, with the inevitable result, is the real scandal.
Other recent important or interesting political items include:
* Changes to MMP proposed by the Electoral Commission are so regressive that No Right Turn is hoping that the National Government either ignores some of the recommendations or just cans the whole report - see: MMP: They blew it again. Tracy Watkins has put forward a much more nuanced analysis of what the Government might do - see: National must absorb MMP changes. Also, David Farrar evaluates the various proposals in The final MMP recommendations.
* Making international headlines is the stuff of dreams for Kiwi Prime Ministers, sometimes - see: Toby Manhire's Key's "thick as batshit" Beckham comments win international headlines.
* The current Labour font-bench isn't a patch on the one that won government in 1999, and even the survivors from that era are well past their use-by date according to Michael Valley at the Standard - see: Assessing Labour's frontbench. If you fancy yourself as David Shearer's media adviser then the Standard has made it easy - see: Make your own "Shearer Says"!.
* Treasury chief executive Gabriel Makhlouf may just be belatedly moving the department into the MMP era, but there could be constitutional issues if the trend for Treasury to openly advocate for particular policies continues, writes John Armstrong - see: Treasury door letting in winds of change.
* Is Secretary of the Cabinet Rebecca Kitteridge destined to be 'the new Margaret Bazley'? - see Herald: Clean sweep at spy agency.
* The real losers from the proposed lobbying legislation won't be professional PR consultants but, rather, ordinary voters writes Mark Blackham of Blackland PR: Lobbying Bill a moat around Parliament.
* Chris Trotter says today that 'So many of the contemporary Left romanticise poverty, imbuing it with mysterious moral power', whereas former Labour PM Norman Kirk 'despised such nonsense', and he also despised social liberalism - see: Kirk pledged to overcome poverty.
* Is getting arrested for protesting part of Mana's candidate selection criteria? Vice-president John Minto is facing more charges relating to a housing protest, as is his leader Hone Harawira and 2011 candidate and ex-MP Sue Bradford, who is facing charges after a welfare reform protest - see Marika Hill's Minto pleads not guilty to assault.
* It's been a big week for a blogger turned newspaper editor - see Steve Braunias' The secret diary of . . . Whale Oil (Cameron Slater).
* Finally, 'Are you passionate about the meaninglessness of language, the impossibility of knowledge and the non-existence of reality?' If so, then you might suit a job working for John Key. Or so says Danyl Mclauchlan in his esoteric and very clever blogpost Vacancies close Friday.

BigAl I honestly would have agreed with you on the milled reciver 3 years ago. I built that varmit 223 on a dare an a bet with spare parts. I would have been thrilled with A one inch group. to get sub 1/2" groups as easy as I did still seems to good to be true.
the truth is IMOA that the reciver flex is not as much of a issue as with a bolt action due to the scope being on the barrel and not on the reciver. all the sheet metal reciver does is hold the trigger grop and the carrer in place. I have read posts on other boards were guys claim there milled reciver guns are not as accurate as stamped. It is possable that a stamped reciver may dampen barrel harmonics or perhaps they cool better or maybe it dampens the trigger group vibration .
Harmonics and the bolt being sqare to the barrel, bolt flex, an firing pin weights, and lock time, barrel tension all come into play but after shooting my varmit build over 1500 rounds at varmits I really am certain that almost any calibure on a stamped reciver can be made to shoot sub 1" moa with a good barrel, chamberd correctly and really good ammo. I will likely find that my new varmit II version may be only slightly more accurate than version I or not at all. I feel at some point ,likely at the sub .5" group range there is going to be a wall that the AK system will not allow you to do any better. it will be a combination of bolt flex, lock time and the swing of a heavy hammer into a not perfectly centerd firing pin. or the .080 or larger gas port causing the barrel to warp at a certain temp or possably the barrel pin causing tension on the top half of the barrel only, or the 23mm limit on barrel OD, but something will prevent it from going super accurate (1/4" groups). I intend to play around with these CHEAP guns and see what the limit is.
As far as the 7.62x39 goes the round is limited by its case capacity for getting much in the way of velocity out of it but bolt guns can shoot very very accurate with it. I got the reamers I got cheap takeoff barrels so what the hell, build it throw in some good ammo and see what it does. It will be a nice light hunting capiable pretty stainless barrel shooter. Like I said I have shot several 1" groups with a 12.5" pistol in 7.62x39 so I know the potential is there.
If anyone want to donate a .30 cal match grade barrel blank or a milled reciver to the cause i will be happy to put it to the test. LOL

You would have thought that these two women would have learned their lesson last season. I would personally like to thank these two women for putting yet another bullseye on their backs. No wonder they haven't won anything in over 50 years.

backward and forward both run to need may they ,faster run to are computers If
Brian Hayes
Computational Fuel Economy
Why is power consumption so important, and what does it have to do
with reversibility? The chain of reasoning that links these concepts
is a fairly long and tangled one, but the individual steps are easy
enough to follow.
In the past two decades the performance of microprocessors has
improved by a factor of 1,000, but the trends that have made
computers more powerful have also made them more power-hungry. Some
chips dissipate more than 100 watts and require elaborate fans, heat
sinks and even liquid cooling. Designers would welcome another
thousandfold gain in performance, but they cannot cope with any
further increase in power density. Single chips that consume
electricity by the kilowatt are just not a practical option.
Where does all the energy go? Much power is lost because neither
conductors nor insulators are perfect; electrons meet resistance
where they ought to pass unopposed, and they leak through materials
where current ought to be blocked. Both of these problems will get
more severe as silicon devices continue to shrink. Another energy
drain is the need to accelerate and decelerate electric charges as
signals move through the circuitry; this cost goes up along with
processor speed. And it always takes energy to push electrons
"uphill" against a voltage gradient.
Some of the strategies for reducing the energy demands of a computer
are much like measures to improve the fuel economy of an automobile.
To get better gas mileage, you make a car lighter and
aerodynamically sleeker; likewise in digital circuits, you can
reduce inertia by using fewer electrons to represent each bit of
information, and you can cut resistive losses with better
conductors. In the car, you drive slower and more smoothly; in the
computer you operate at lower voltage and avoid abrupt swings in
voltage. For even greater savings in an automobile, you might try a
hybrid design, with a battery or a flywheel to recapture energy
invested in acceleration and hill-climbing; the electronic
counterpart is an experimental technology called charge recovery.
In the world of chipmaking, some of these energy-conserving measures
are already well-established tools, and others are likely to be
adopted soon. For example, copper is replacing aluminum in the metal
interconnections on some chips to improve conductivity. The voltage
levels of on-chip signals have fallen from 5 volts to as little as 1
volt. Further steps of the same general kind may well avert a
silicon energy crisis for another decade or two. But then what? If
the number of operations per second is to increase by a factor of
1,000 without raising power consumption, then the average energy per
operation must be reduced to a thousandth of its present value. Is
that possible, even in principle? What about a millionth?

Also, Eli Manning would never leave the sidelines of a SuperBowl his team was playing in because he felt in the way and was upset that Jeff Hosstettler was out there. I know a QB that did do that.

that makes complete sense

And I'm not questioning Eli's toughness. He may not look tough but he obviously is tough.
So perhaps Simms doesn't mind getting hit. Perhaps Eli also doesn't mind getting smashed either, but is smart enough to contort his body to take the blow. lol Hence the longevity of his career.

Lake Shore police to work with Zorbaz, Gull Chain of Lakes Association
Lake Shore police will work with Zorbaz on Gull and the Gull Chain of Lakes Association (GCOLA) for extra police presence this summer.
The Lake Shore City Council on Monday, May 20, adopted two service agreements for the police department: one with Zorbaz where that establishment will reimburse the city for police presence Friday and Saturday nights through summer, and one with GCOLA where that association will reimburse the city for police presence at the DNR public access through summer, specifically to provide general security and enforce state laws regarding the illegal transfer of aquatic invasive species.
Police chief Steve Sundstrom said he has part-time officers who can take on these duties at Zorbaz and the public access. The agreements won't cost the city any money, because Zorbaz and GCOLA will reimburse the city for the part-time officers' time.
The council also agreed to raise part-time officers' wages from $14 to $15 per hour. Sundstrom said these officers haven't had a raise in years and area cities pay more than $14 per hour to their part-time officers.
In other public safety business, the council accepted a resolution to conduct background checks for new employees and adopted an ordinance amending the city code as it relates to background checks for liquor license applicants. Both of these are required by state statute.
From April 22 to May 19, police recorded 161 incidents, including 116 traffic-related incidents and 45 miscellaneous calls.
Traffic incidents included 27 traffic citations, 81 traffic warnings, two parking complaints, four car vs. deer crashes and one property damage crash.
Miscellaneous calls included five suspicious activity, five alarms, two theft complaints, two disorderly/disturbance, two burning complaints, three medicals, and one each fire complaint, attempt to locate, trespassing complaint, obstruction of legal process, fifth-degree controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, boating complaint and harassment complaint.
Police assisted Cass County deputies four times and Nisswa police six times.
The city issued six land-use permits in April for a total valuation of $610,800. That compares to one permit issued in April 2012 for a total valuation of $110,000.
April 2013 permits included two dwellings, two residential additions, three accessory structures, one deck/porch/patio, one septic system and one commercial addition/landscaping/patio.
The city has issued nine permits to date this year for a total valuation of $958,300. That compares to 11 permits issued by this time in 2012 for a total valuation of $716,000.
In other business Monday, the council:
• Hired Roger Smeby for the zoning inspector position at a rate of $15 per hour.
• Appointed Kevin Egan to the Environmental Committee.
• Appointed Terry Frovik to the Park Committee.
• Learned the Park and Recreation Committee now will meet the third Monday of the month. The committee plans to walk through the park and make lists of what needs to be done.
• Agreed to contribute toward Bass Lake Road maintenance. The road is in Nisswa and Lake Shore, and last week the Nisswa City Council agreed to contribute up to $2,500 toward Bass Lake Road maintenance.
• Public works supervisor Jim Thomes and the council thanked the Northern Stars 4-H group for raking the city's cemetery, TurfCare for donating fertilizing services at city hall and Russell Hegstrom Tree Service for donating time and equipment to remove a stump in front of city hall.

Press Review: Zeppelin Group Was Great
Jimmy Page may have finished only sixth or seventh to the recently completed Playboy magazine jazz poll but more than 9,000 rock fans decided Thursday night in Tampa he may be the great¬est.
Page was the premier attraction of Led Zeppelin, a British Isles supergroup who conducted "an evening with…" concert at Curtis Hixon Hall Thursday night.
It was Curtis Hixon's first complete standing room only sellout in a long time. It was also one of the more expensive concerts ever on this coast of Florida. So, if things didn't go perfectly smooth, the sub-culture of hard rock would surely have let the promoters know about it.
Things went smoothly.
Page, while the most musical of the quartet, is still only one fourth. Bobby Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham are names you will hear again. If not as members of Led Zeppelin, then as solos or members of other small groups. Each member of Zeppelin got a shot at solo work. Page was first and he was magnificent. Many of the groups touring through the area manage to turn every¬body on, but few of the individual performers are true musical craftsmen
Jimmy Page is a master guitarist
After cranking out some numbers from their two albums, vocalist Plant introduced Page for a solo. The slender guitarist, hanging over his instrument like some strange stork, stroked out more than 15 minutes of music scaling from elementary Chuck Berry rhythm to hard raga.
The far eastern influence in Page's fretwork was obvious, his long, bony fingers running the length of the electrified guitar with magical ease.
The capacity audience re¬warded Page with a seven-minute standing ovation. Only a shy smile creased his lips as Page fidgeted about the stage constricted with huge amplifiers. Drummer Bonham soloed for more than 25 minutes to several standing ovations. Bass guitarist Jones turned his solo on the electric organ and vocalist Plant, besides providing the words for all the Zeppelin's songs, played his harmonica.
Zeppelin turned in one of the truly great performances in this area. Some of the biggest names in rock have been at Curtis Hixon but few – besides B.B. King — have received the welcome afford¬ed these slender English boys.
And more amazing than the group's ability to perform is the fact they came on the stage and started their first number four minutes before show time. This was promised by the promoter, National Shows Inc., but few hardened rock fans believed it.
Led Zeppelin is one group that would be welcome back.

Concert at Curtis Hixon Hall, Tampa 4/9/70
My girlfriend and I attended this one. I was 21 and she was 20. The huge speakers blocked the view of the stage for many of us, so we spent most of the time "going mobile" to improve our position. Despite our incessant roaming around, we wouldn't have missed this one for anything and weren't disappointed, that's for sure. Led Zeppelin remains one of my favorite bands of all time.

"Wedded Bliss: The Marriage of Art and Ceremony" | Peabody Essex Museum, East India Square, Salem | Through September 14
"Peabody rising," by Greg Cook, July 25, 2008
Slideshow: Peabody Essex Museum exhibit highlights
On the right is a prim, pleated, hand-sewn white cotton dress that Sarah Tate wore when she got married, probably in the 1840s, maybe in Texas. It's as plain as the Wang dress is flashy. What's extraordinary about it is that Tate was an African-American slave. It's a rare surviving relic from a time when slaves could not legally wed but some owners allowed them to marry informally. Wow.
What we have here in the opening gallery of "Wedded Bliss: The Marriage of Art and Ceremony" at Salem's Peabody Essex Museum is a show that stretches from va-va-voom to the solemn roots of marriage in our culture. And maybe says a bit about — if I dare be so grand — the magical, irresistible force of love.
Despite its cheesy title, "Wedded Bliss" is a dramatically displayed collection of fabulous stuff from the museum's collection and lots of loans, and it's given ballast by the scholarly recognition that weddings — as one of the ancient, common, and fundamental rituals of societies around the world, a celebration of the union of existing families and an elemental building block of communities — call forth some of humanity's greatest artistry. The show is not so much about fine art as about the creativity that goes into gowns and crowns, ritual gifts, the ceremony's pageantry. It's rich territory because, of course, in many cultures weddings are events on which no expense is spared.
In the art world, there is much love of folk art, and lip service is paid to the Duchampian notion that anything can be art, but fine art still ranks higher than folk. The Peabody Essex's definition of art is broad and non-hierarchical, so we get dresses and quilts, wedding trunks, and things like Cile Bellefleur Burbidge's Architectural Fantasy Cake. Executed just for the show, Burbidge's creation is an astonishing stepped tower of flowers and garlands and swans and a giant pot bursting with flowers on top, all made of stiff white icing mixed from eggs and sugar. Burbidge, who's from Danvers, is a celebrated cake designer, but what other local museum would have the guts to put her piece in its show rather than unveiling it at the VIP reception?

The Antinori group purchased the winery in 1989 and made great investments towards improvements. The strategic vision brought by Antinori is well represented by the acquisition of prominent vineyards in the most exclusive areas: the Bussia vineyard, acquired in 1990, and the Bric Turot vineyard, bought in 1997, to name two.
Prunotto's desire to control every detail in all phases of production, starting from the vine and ending in the glass has become a distinctive feature of their high quality. The balance between tradition and innovation continues to be a distinctive feature of Prunotto wines. The meticulous care for each bottle is the result of a century of experience, great passion for wine and love for the land of Piedmont. These characteristics made Prunotto a leader in the production of Alba's finest wines.
