Jonah Hill heads back to the helm of "Saturday Night Live" this weekend and he's hoping to stand strong when he hits the stage.
"You just try not to fall on your face," Jonah told Access Hollywood of his plan for when he returns to the "SNL" fold as host. "I think I did pretty well the first time, but now it's [the] sophomore slump. [I've] got to get over the sophomore slump."
PLAY IT NOW: Jonah Hill & Channing Tatum Hit The Beat On '21 Jump Street'
The "Moneyball" Best Supporting Actor nominee said it was fun to visit with his old pals from his first time hosting in 2008, who now have graduated from newbies and are simply the seasoned professionals.
"When I first started to pop a little bit, that's when Kristen [Wiig] and Bill [Hader] and Andy [Samberg] all got on the show, all around the same time, and so now they're all veterans," he said. "Now that I'm back a second time... there's a bunch of new people who are hilarious and awesome, and I'm just excited to get to walk amongst giants for a week."

Last time Jonah was on "SNL" he had a make out session and while he isn't sure if kissing is on the cards, he did hint at an upcoming skit.
"I don't know if I make out with anyone this go around... It's too early in the week. I'm accused of having sex with Fred Armisen, playing a monkey -- not to give too much away. It's alleged. It's not totally grounded in truth yet, we'll see what happens."
As for whether his "21 Jump Street" co-star will make an appearance, Jonah said that too has not been determined.

"I think Channing's coming to the show, maybe I'll be able to sneak him in somewhere," he said.

Rian English, FRONTPAGE Detroit Managing Editor
Everyone remembers (in a negative way) the waitress who treated them poorly or the person who chews with their mouth open at at Christmas dinner. Your reputation is all you have and it is critical to maintain it in a positive way. You want people to think of you in a positive light, and much of that has to do with the way you treat them and your actions. They will remember you and appreciate you because of your manners and etiquette. Manners and etiquette create the dividing line between the civilized, and the uncouth.
This week our cover story features Enitan O. Bareola II. Bareola is a famed author with a significant online following who has taken up the manners mantle and made etiquette trendy once again. I have a personal connection to Bareola's message, because for most of my life, my mother taught etiquette classes right in our home. While I was fortunate to learn when and how to use every utensil imaginable, by the time I was 12, I loathed sitting through my mothers classes. Today, I am beyond grateful for information she dispensed and I am prepared to dine at the White house with ease. And while Washington DC may not be in my immediate future (Psst, Barack, Michelle, call me! I'm available lol) manners and etiquette will be beneficial where ever my path takes me.
Stylishly Yours,
Rian English

Upgrading a refrigeration box and estimating each boat's individual Btu usage was examined in Part I of this series, "Calculating Refrigeration Needs."
1. The Cooling Plate This is the part that goes into the refrigerated space and it can be either an evaporator plate or a holding plate.
Evaporator plates are thin with ridges. They are available in a number of sizes as flat plates, formed into L or U shapes, or bent to form small freezer boxes. These latter come in horizontal boxes with doors or as vertical units where the contents are inserted from the topthe vertical is usually best for sailboats. Because of the variety of shapes and sizes, it is usually easy to find an evaporator plate that will suit the box. The weak spot with evaporator plates is that because they are so thin, they hold very little cold, and the compressor must cycle on and off, or run frequently, to keep the box chilled. It is not unusual for an evaporator plate system to run 10 minutes, shut off for 20, then run for 10 minutes againthe temperature in the box rising and falling slightly with the cycles.
Holding plates are much thicker. They are effectively a small tank, usually stainless steel, filled with a eutectic solution. These solutions freeze at much colder temperatures than water and most retain their frozen state longer than water. You must choose between a freezer plate and a refrigerator plate, since the solutions are different. One advantage of holding plates is that two plates can be run off one compressor, thus providing independent freezer and refrigerator spaces run from one compressor. Another is that holding plates can have two sets of internal cooling coils, allowing two different compressors to drive the same plate. The main advantage is that holding plates retain their frozen state for long periods and can often be run only once every 24 hours, holding the temperature in the box reasonably steady for extended periods.
2. The Cooling System All refrigeration gasses need a condenser that must be cooled either by air or by water.
Air-cooled systems are simple, inexpensive, reliable, and draw very little power. They work well unless they usually run in ambient air temperatures above 90 degrees, just when the refrigerator has to run the hardest to cool the box. If an air-cooled system is mounted in a small space, forced air will need to be ducted to it so that it will cool properly. They should never be mounted in a hot area such as an engine room. But for the average refrigeration installation, air-cooled systems often make a good choice.
A third variant is the closed water-cooled system, often in the form of a keel cooler. These are quite popular outside of the US. They operate like the radiator in your car if they are fan-cooled, or like the heat exchanger on a boat if they are submersed in seawater. Some keel-cooler types require drilling several large holes in the boat's hull. They are a nice balance when water cooling is required but the owner doesn't want the complication of open salt water running inside the boat.
3. Compressor Types Compressors are the pumps that pressurize the refrigeration gasses and can be either hermetically sealed or modular.
Sealed compressors are what you have in your refrigerator at home. The motor and compressor are in one piece, usually with a unique-looking domed top. They are inexpensive because of their large sales volume and are very reliable, often lasting over 20 years. But they are unserviceablewhen they go bad, the only option is to replace the whole unit.
Modular compressors are used in many applications such as automobile air conditioning. They are available in a large range of Btu outputs and are capable of driving very large systems. Since the filters, driers, expansion valves, and power source are all separate pieces, these systems are fully repairable. Many will require periodic service, just as the A/C system on your car does.
4. Power Sources Power for the system can come from 12-volt, 120-volt, belt drive from an engine, from an open flame, or from a combination of sources. The open flame LPG or kerosene types have limited use, are not very popular, and will not be considered here.
Modern, 12-volt DC compressors are fairly energy efficient, but refrigerators, and more especially freezers, still use lots of power. The nice thing about 12-volt energy is that it is easy to replace with solar or wind-generated power. Twelve-volt refrigeration systems can be left for long periods if renewable energy sources are replenishing the power used. Dockside, power can be replaced by a battery charger.
Engine-driven compressors are, of course, the modular type. Their real strength is that they are available in sizes that can produce up to 4,000 Btus per hour for use in large systems. They are more expensive, require more maintenance, and the owner must be on board the boat once every day to run the engine.
Combinations of power systems abound. Norcold makes an AC/DC system that switches between voltages automatically. Of course, any 12-volt system can be run off a battery charger and any 120-volt system can be run from an inverterthese units have automatic combination abilities if the electrical systems are correctly sized to allow for such operation. But other combinations are not unusual, especially in larger, modular or partly modular systems. An engine-driven modular compressor in combination with 120-volt sealed unit makes sense for big systems on long distance cruisers.
Expected usage up to 1,500 Btus per day. This is where the standard 12-volt, hermetically sealed system really shines. They are inexpensive, reliable, and easy to install. Choose air cooled if you can mount it in an area of unlimited airflow outside of the engine room, or water cooled if it has to live next to the iron genny or you live aboard in the tropics. The holding plate models and flat-plate evaporators both make good refrigeratorsif you want enough freezer space to make a tray of ice and keep two hamburgers frozen, buy a model with an evaporator plate formed into a box. Most of these systems produce 150 to 200 Btus per hour at an average five-amp/hour draw, so they will cycle up to 10 hours per day and use 50 amps of 12-volt power.
Expected usage from 1,500 to 2,500 Btus per day. Still in the range of a 12-volt system, but you'll want to find a larger system capable of removing 250 to 300 Btus per hour and water cool it for best efficiency. At the top end of the Btu range, one of these units would cycle over eight hours per day at an average seven amp/hour draw, using up to 70 amps per day in an efficient box.
Expected usage from 2,500 to 4,000 Btus per day. We're now beyond the abilities of the small, sealed, 12-volt units. A sealed 120-volt system, modular 12-volt, modular engine driven system, or some combination is called for, and water cooling and holding plates are mandatory. A one-half horsepower 12-volt DC motor draws 40 amps when running and can be arranged to belt drive a modular compressor capable of producing 2,500 Btusthis would result in a one-and-one-half hour run time daily at a 60 amp total draw. Most of these systems should be professionally installed.
A side note to the above: if a large Btu usage stems from a refrigerator/freezer combination, each can be built as a separate box with its own system. In other words, if the refrigerator and freezer each use 2,000 Btus, they could be made as independent units, each with its own compressor and plate. Two identical large, water-cooled, 12-volt systems could then be used with a total amperage draw of between 90 and 100 amps per day if the boxes were well crafted. This system could be run from shorepower with a good-sized battery charger, from an hour or two of engine run time with a high-output alternator, or a large solar array or wind generator.

Of course, Meryl also COULD have been having a leg cramp that was caught on camera at a really unfortunate time. And Meryl COULD have been thinking about something totally unrelated to skating that she wasn't happy about. Maybe Meryl ate something weird that didn't agree with her.
I think people should just leave Meryl alone, wait to see who shows up in Tokyo, let them all skate, root for everyone to do their best, and hope that the result reflects what happened on the ice.
Well, thanks to the internet, we can obsessively obsess over silly details (She winked twice and he only once, are they angry with each other?!?!). So, if were going to do this .
Virtue/Moirs CD
The relevant section starts at 5:06. Tessa/Scott see their marks. Tessas positive, Scotts non-plussed . Cut to Meryl/Charlie. I see this exchange
Meryl: What did the Russians get?
Charlie: 43.7
Meryl: massive eyeroll
Impute meaning at your will.
Domnina & Shabalin were only put 1st in the CDs in Vancouver since based on Europeans the judges knew that was the only portion of the event they were even something above competent in at that point, and the only way to sneak them on the podium and prevent the dreaded all North American sweep was to put D&S 1st in the compulsories. And it worked, they held onto the bronze over B&A pretty comfortably all based on their CD lead, despite mediocre OD and FD efforts.
Faiella & Scali are the European team that should have been rewarded with both the European title and Olympic bronze last year instead. It was their best season of skating ever. The judges could only imagine one of the two D&S teams to break up a NA sweep though, and as the French D&S showed up in Vancouver in even worse shape after a whole year off with injuries and a baby, the Russian D&S got gifted with the token European medal.
The NA sweep wont happen in 2014 either with the Olympics being in Sochi. I would bet money on 1, maybe 2 medals going to the Russians (not saying they wont deserve it, but even if they maybe dont they will still be there) with the other 1 or 2 going to NA couples.
I think it will happen someday at the Olympics but maybe not for awhile.
Pogue..That CD was a lovely treat to have with my coffee..
As far as I can tell , your lip-reading is perfect.
I read the meaning as dismay over the Dom/Shabs still being on top, and for M&C that would mean further to climb..But to believe Meryl's expression would reflect her opinion of V/M , you would have to believe all the congratulatory hugs and back slapping that took place later were all put on , which seems ludicrous to me.
npa..I don't know if anyone did take Scott's comment badly , I just know there are some who would try to make something out of it , if they heard it . It isn't in me to try to seek them out and quote them...

Initially I said my wish list to be "exactly" like IP's, as it looked like I was writing it
Now, with Faiella / Scali sadly out, a revision is required, I want their place in top 10 to be taken by Chock / Zuerlain, just because I think having all 6 teams from NA in the top 10 would reflect the current state in ice dance worldwide.
I/P, what do we do with ...W/P?? Do we keep them candidates for the 8th spot? Look what they are aiming for:
5th is kinda ambitious, but what I like is their upbeat spirit and who knows, errors like Andrew tangling in Kaitlin's skirt most likely won't happen again as they will be much more careful with that move.
I forgot they had to do qualifying.
Keeping them down in eighth for now. Top five is within reach, but the stars must align.
Assuming Virtue & Moir compete teams that Weaver & Poje have no chance of beating would be: Davis & White, Virtue & Moir, Pechalat & Bourzat, Bobrova & Soloviev. Teams they probably have small hope of beating at this point too would be: Kerr & Kerr, Faella & Scali, Crone & Poirier, Shibutani & Shibutani. I would say 9th or 10th is their most likely result. Of course you have to shoot higher.

Ripoff Report
Vista Village Dental Group24355 Lyons Ave. Ste 200 Newhall, California USA
Vista Village Dental Group $575 Plus 10% Interest/Year Unpaid Small Claims Judgment 10/31/2012 by Vista Village Dental Group Newhall California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
The worst ever of the many dentists I've been to. They agreed to do a root canal on a tooth that was hurting, and this is even in the contract signed with them. Then after I paid $600 for the first payment on what was supposed to be a root canal, they told me that they would not give me the root canal and would not give me my $600 back.
I went to another dentist the next day who did the root canal and I got his statement in writing that I needed one. Went to Small Claims and won Judgement for $575 against VVD. I got a letter from their attorney soon after telling me to sign a form saying that VVD had paid me when they hadn't.
I called the attorney several times within 6 months after the judgement was declared, asking for the money, but he just came up with one excuse after another why it wasn't paid and kept telling me every time that it would be paid "in a few days". Never got it.
I'm just accruing my 10% interest a year, and have 10 years to collect in various other ways, and I have the option of applying for a 10 year extension. That $600 was all the money I had at the time. The insurance is a way to get you in the office, then-oops! It's a scam. Do not go here.

Sand Calligraphy by Andrew Van Der Merwe
Using writing instruments specifically for sand and techniques learned from over 20 years of being a calligrapher, CapeTown, South Africa artist, Andrew Van Der Merwecreates elegant sand drawings. Speaking on his practice, "The work is usually very temporal, often lasting no more than an hour before it is taken by the wind or the tide. I carve the letters in the sand using various instruments and then photograph them with my Nikon D700. I leave no footprints and the tide leaves me with a clean slate."August 11, 2013

Facials: Are They Demeaning?
It's called the money shot. In straight porn it involves the male giving the female what is euphemistically called "a facial." (Not the kind from Bliss Spa.) In some porn films, the facial is played up to emphasize his humiliation of and domination of her, but in other porn flicks, the money shot is just something the actors do. In real life, I suspect facials happen more for pleasure than for humiliation, seeing as women have a little thing called self-respect. But when I recently mentioned facials in my 10 Things Women Forget To Do During Sex piece, a hootenanny of condemnation—and defense—broke out in the comments section of that post.
Our commenters, whom I just love to pieces, are really split on the facial issue! Many called it "degrading" and some called it "gross." QueenFrostine summed the facial opponents' p.o.v. most succinctly when she wrote:
"I am a person and I require respect. Hitting, punching, spitting and ejaculating on a person's face is an act of dominance and a way of lessening that person's worth. It's saying (to me) that I am inferior and worthless. I am not some object to which you can spray in the face like you're marking territory."
Roastchicken agreed and added, "Leave that up to the porn stars to take a load in the face. Hell no."
I see those commenters' points, but I have to respectfully disagree with 'em. I think leaving facials up to the porn stars—actors who are making the facial appear to humiliate the woman—is what keeps it looking demeaning. Certainly some facials are depicted in porn as humiliating or degrading, but not every man who wants to give a facial wants it to degrade and humiliate just like it looks onscreen. Many do love and respect their partners, and know, to varying degrees, that porn isn't real. Likewise, some of those female partners enjoy the act as well. As commenter Alexa put it:
"Personally, I am much more concerned with his attitude toward me outside the bedroom — if he's respecting, egalitarian, and treats me like someone he's in love with and all that, if he wants to [ejaculate] on me somewhere, then I fail to see how that even remotely denigrates or invalidates the intimacy or 'normalcy' of our relationship."
Interestingly enough, the commenter I agree with most on the facial issue was actually written by a man who called himself tonykuehn. He wrote:
"Degradation and insult are a matter of perspective, I think. If you're not into something and your partner does it anyway (no matter what it is), that is definitely degrading and insulting, not to mention disrespectful. I think the 'money shot' fetish for many men is simply the strong visual stimulus… I wasn't into it (or so I thought) until my wife suggested it and now, hooo boy. But, again, it's something we both enjoy, partially just because of the thrill we get from being so naughty. But that's sex, eh?"
Exactly! Personally, I don't think facials are a big deal because I enjoy something else in bed that could look like it's very demeaning. When I told my (ex-) therapist about my spanking fetish, she tried to talk me out of it because she thought it indicated I had psychological issues related to wanting to be hit. Maybe I thought I was "bad" or that sex was "bad" or the spanking was actually domestic abuse? Nope! I just like to be dominated in bed, and that's it. It's safe, consensual and it turns me on like you wouldn't believe! Same thing with facials. I don't see it so much as a problem of gender roles (though it can look that way from porn) as it's a biological issue: He can give me a facial and I can't give him one. He gets me all over his face sometimes in a different way, but who is to say that I wouldn't want to give him a facial if we women had the equipment, right?
Different strokes for different folks, everyone.

Premier League Darts: Finals Night Review
Sports writer Bradley West reports on what happened at the 2017 edition of Finals Night in the Premier League DartsWritten by Bradley West on 20th May 2017
The mark of a good Test batsman is to have averaged 40 we are regularly told, so it is fitting that Andrew Strauss retired from international cricket before his Test record dipped under that magic mark. Like all England captains before him, the burden of the top job had taken its toll on his form with a once enviable conversion record of turning 50s into 100s having taken a battering.
As Mike Brearley made mention of in his book The Art of Captaincy, it has always been the prerogative of Australian sides to pick the captain out of the best XI and for the English to always find a place for a specialist captain (Brearley himself being a prime example of the latter). This is the reason why so few Australian captains stay in the team once they are no longer in charge of the side as the captaincy is usually only conceded once the player no longer feels he is contributing enough with the bat. Ricky Ponting is an exception and his runs against India last winter have preserved his place for the time being although the current dearth of quality Australian batsmen – there used to be tons of them not long ago - is perhaps a greater reason why he is still around.
For England, Brearley was famed for his management of Ian Botham in the iconic 1981 series against Australia, but although initially picked as a batsman, it was only for his captaincy that he managed to keep his place in the side. Recent England captains Michael Atherton, Nasser Hussain and Michael Vaughan also found question marks over their place in the team as form deserted them, but they were retained due to their presence as leaders of the team and they went on to achieve some notable successes.
In some ways Strauss is a victim of his own success. Captaining one of the world's best teams means players struggling for form cannot be indulged. Just as Paul Collingwood realised after the Ashes success in Australia that there were now better players emerging on the scene, having a captain who was not contributing big scores with the bat could no longer be allowed if the team was to re-gain the number one Test spot.
But ignoring his recent struggles with the bat, let us bask in Strauss' success as a captain. His partnership with Andy Flower has received hagiographical treatment from the English press and rightly so, for the transformation which followed the 51 all out in Jamaica is the stuff of fairytales: The Ashes win at home soon after, the battling draw in South Africa, the 3-1 win Down Under and the 4-0 drubbing of India which made England the number one ranked side in the world.
Yes, the team has not reached the same level since, but you have to remember this is a side lacking players who will go down as some of the greats of the game. Turning them into collective world-beaters who would bully opposition was a stunning achievement from captain and coach.
Moreover, there are numerous reasons for bemoaning Strauss' decision to retire from all forms of the game. To begin with his role as leader had been unanimously unquestioned despite the Kevin Pietersen saga and complaints that he was too negative at times on the field. The respect he received from the England players remained high even when the team was struggling. Notice how Graeme Swann accused the media of a 'witch-hunt' when some mentioned how the captain was in need of runs in Sri Lanka.
Another factor is that there are few obvious replacements as England opener and it is unlikely that the partnership between Alastair Cook and Strauss at the top of the order will be replicated so successfully. Michael Carberry is 32 now and not scoring as consistently. Joe Root has been playing second division cricket with Yorkshire and has yet to score the bulk of runs to suggest he is ready for the step up yet. And the prolific Nick Compton is best suited at number three and has been suffering with injury recently. With Flower unlikely to want to promote Trott to open the batting the best bet may be taking a punt on Alex Hales who goes against the grain of most of the top six by scoring at a quick rate but is seen as more of a one-day specialist.
Let's not forget why Strauss was in the England team to begin with though. Typically of the man, it was he who scored those back-to-back hundreds when England last toured India, coming on the back of the terrorist attacks which horrified the world and threatened to see the Test series scrapped. It was Strauss who hit a hundred in the second innings of the first Test in Brisbane when Australia scented blood. It was Strauss who scored a hundred at Lord's which set England up for a historic victory in the 2009 Ashes. It was Strauss who scored a hundred on his debut, who made his biggest Test score when his career was in jeapordy, and who hit two hundreds against the West Indies this summer when he needed runs once again.
Speaking of the Ashes, Strauss was the only player in the 2005 series to hit two centuries including in the final Test when England needed it most. He was a man lovingly mocked by his team-mates as Lord Brocket or Posh Twit. But there was a certainly steeliness about Strauss, a determination to put the side first, protect his players and never panic when results went the wrong way. 2012 has not been a great one for England in Tests, but let that take nothing away from Strauss' record as captain. He was one of England's greats, a man who never scored the bulk of runs as some of the top batsmen of the game, but one whose achievements rank above most others. Let's be grateful that his Test record stayed above 40 for it was the least that his legacy deserves. We may never have things so good again.

A family in Brewer celebrated four birthdays today — but there's a very unique twist.
"It's amazing," says Janice Farmer. "0, 30, 60, 90. What families are blessed like that?"
That's right. This family tree has a thirty-year trend in the lineage. The birthdays are not on the exact same day, but the family says it's still a year worth celebrating.
"I took off for work months ago because I flew up from Nashville and everyone in my company thought it was a big joke when I sent it out," says Alex Farmer. "I was like 'I'm going up its my 30th, my moms 60th and my grandparents 90th and they're all like ha ha did you plan that?'"
A question the family ponders, as well.
"I think it's just in the family genes," Alex adds. "Its just what we do here. Thomas genes."
"I have no idea," her mother Janice responds to the question. "Mandy's expecting, so she's keeping the tradition alive. The next one I'll be the 90-year-old, Alex will be the 60-year-old and the little baby who isn't here yet will be the 30-year-old. Isn't that wild?"
The eldest in the bunch have passed many milestones, and there's always one thing in common.
"We've done everything with our family," says Ella Thomas, who is turning 90 with her husband Jim. "We work well together, we love each other and we even like each other, so we have great times."

If You're Thinking of Living In/North Salem; Charm, Tradition, Space, High Taxes
By TESSA MELVIN
Published: November 6, 1994
TUCKED into the northeast corner of Westchester County is a rustic community of graceful horse farms and estates amid thousands of acres of lush woodlands and apple orchards.
This is North Salem, only 50 miles north of Manhattan, a horseman's paradise of open fields and rugged hills surrounding the New York City-owned Titicus Reservoir. Three-quarters of the land is zoned for four acres or more and there are no sidewalks, sewers or public water supply. Until last year, there were no numbers on houses.
There is a one traffic light and only two gasoline stations, both near Interstate 684. The north-south highway cuts through the town, dividing the hamlets of Croton Falls on the west from the hamlets of Purdys, North Salem and Salem Center on the east.
There are two railroad stations, at Purdys and Croton Falls, scattered grocery stores, real estate offices and antiques shops, but no commercial center.
Residents shop in Ridgefield, just over the Connecticut line, or at the Danbury Mall, a 15-minute drive east.
"There's a four-acre mentality among many people who move here," said Gail Pantezzi, an agent with Houlihan/Lawrence in Katonah. "It's why they are here. They like the quiet."
But the price of rusticity is on the rise. Although generally acknowledged as one of the most beautiful and undeveloped communities in the metropolitan area, North Salem is also one of its most expensive.
There is virtually no commercial tax base and courts have called the zoning code exclusionary. Ordered to revise the code to permit more multifamily zones, the town has appealed. But, after a decade of litigation, mounting court costs and the election of a more flexible town administration, North Salem has become more open to development.
New homes, including subdivisions, are being built, as are some affordable units at the 53-home Salem Chase development off Route 22.
Plans are nearing approval for High Gate, a commercial-residential complex near Route 684 with two office buildings totaling 250,000 square feet and 46 one-family homes.
The town is about to redo its master plan and rezone additional land for commercial development, said Sy Globerman, the Town Supervisor. Finding additional property to build on will be difficult, Mr. Globerman said, because of extensive wetlands and steep slopes.
All but 3 percent of North Salem is within the New York City watershed, where new regulations limiting development are expected soon.
Town and school officials are coordinating an effort to improve the tax base. "There is just not enough tax money in town to support the school system," Mr. Globerman said, an opinion shared by Dr. Charles Wilson, the Superintendent of Schools, who heads a district on an austerity budget this year because voters rejected a 24 percent tax increase.
"OUR charm is also our Achilles heel," Dr. Wilson said. "To have this much land this close to New York City is going to cost. This is an absolutely bucolic setting, but the downside is that there are no commercial resources. The homeowner pays the full freight."
The tax on a house that sold last March for $700,000 is $16,850; the tax on one that sold in May for $350,000 is $9,250.
Some homeowners are willing to pay more than their share to maintain their town's charm, tradition and open space. For the last two decades, the Open Lands Foundation, an organization of open-space and horse lovers, has been preserving land and now has 438 acres in North Salem and Lewisboro, just to the south.
Two years ago, the town celebrated the restoration of Delancey Town Hall to its original 18th-century Georgian splendor with the aid of a $600,000 grant from a town resident. The two-story manor house, named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, was once home to Stephen Delancey, a Loyalist who owned most of the land in town.
Descendants of some of the original settlers still live in North Salem, including the Hawleys, Purdys, Van Scoys and Keelers, many of them active in the North Salem Historical Society.
For 68 years, residents have gathered every Christmas Eve for carols around a tree donated by the Keelers.
The biggest business is still related to the land -- horses. Unofficial estimates put the town's horse population around 450, many of them prize jumpers and hunters. The largest commercial operation is at Old Salem Farm, once owned by the actor Paul Newman, where horse shows are regularly held, among them the Pepsi Challenge Grand Prix each May.
The town's most colorful tradition is provided by the Golden's Bridge Hounds, the only remaining hunt club in Westchester County. Throughout the six-month season, and as often as three times each week, the club's 75 members ride to the hounds, chasing foxes who appear to know there is refuge on North Salem's three golf courses.
Although some horse owners worry that development will threaten their sport and traditions, Ron Stewart and his wife, Jayme, do not. The Stewarts have lived in North Salem for 15 years, rearing three children on their 75-acre horse farm. Mr. Stewart commutes to New York, where he owns the York Preparatory School and the Learning Annex, the city's largest private adult education program. Mrs. Stewart is author of "How to Get Into the College of Your Choice and How to Finance It" (William Morrow).
Mr. Stewart is a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals and Mrs. Stewart heads the town's two-year old housing board, which oversees the development of moderate-priced housing.

Date of Stay: August, 2006
Our favorite place to camp in Oklahoma. Sites are nicely spaced and there is a varity of choices. Nice lake view to almost all sites, many right on the lake.
Date of Stay: August, 2006
One of our favorite camps. A wide variety of sites with great lake access. Walking trails and in summer, boat rentals, a restaurant and swimming in the lake.
Date of Stay: July, 2006
Lots of wildlife, rv site choices, shade and things to do. This is the nicest state park we have been to with our RV. The lots, for the most part, are very spaced out. Very nice park hosts.
Date of Stay: July, 2006
Lots of amenities but no shade in the newer area. We did drive to the "older" area and there is more trees & some shade over there, those sites are right on the lakefront also but appears most of those sites are permanently occupied. There is a store, a cafe, water sport rentals and a 2 slide water park. The road from the base, Fort Sill, to the LETRA is a bit bumpy and its easy a 10-15 minute drive. The lots in the "new" area are pretty close together. The lots closest to the cafe can reach the Wi-Fi.
Date of Stay: June, 2006
Most sites are very close to a busy highway causing loud road noise that you can hear over the air conditioners. Sites are rocky, no grass anywhere. Big tick problem when we were there. On the plus side it was clean and had a free shuttle to the Silver Dollar City Park.
Date of Stay: September, 2005
This park is really a gravel lot with electric and water hookups. The winery is nice and the sites are flat. The low price and the excellent staff make it a 7. I would worry about power surges as the street lights lighting the park flickered a lot and other campers mentioned power problems. Good place to use a surge protector.

Do not tell me about vehicular flying games, please, you know damn well I already know about those as does everyone, so I must not be referring to them, right (rhetorical)? I am strictly referring to the way Superheroes typically fly. I do not even mean Zone Of The Ender (humanoid and basically has the mechanics I'm referring to but it's a vehicle) or Ironman (technically a vehicle), just games where one has the ability to fly. Are there any? Please list the ones with preferably not just a brief segment of the game like in Kingdom Hearts. Please, tell me there are games like this, it is awfully strange that out of all the games in existence barely any of them allow us to freely fly about without mods or rails or as a scrolling shooter. I just want to freely fly, as in NOT a e.g. rail shooter.
No vehicle! Just flying around all open world style, as a power like Goku or Superman does. Decent mods might be acceptable... but I mostly just mean games developed with flying in mind as an actual gaming mechanic.


text: OT Jermon Bushrod Towson St. 6'4 325 Is a roadgrader and plays with a mean streak.....will most likely be moved to OG in the NFL. He tends to get beat by speed rushers, so having him at OT, could be dangerous. OL Ed McCarthy Yale 6'5 302 a 4 year starter, versatile (played all 5 positions along OL), intelligent, highly decorated OL both athletically and academically, strong character guy. McCarthy is the type of player the Pats tend to sign.....and for that reason alone, I want him. I like the fact that he can play anywhere on the line and that he has brains behind his braun.

A man found dead at a rural Franklin property earlier this week died from stab wounds, police say.
Police said David Cunningham's wounds were received during an altercation at the Ararimu Road, Ramarama address in the early hours of Monday morning.
Mr Cunningham was not known to any of the occupants at the address, Counties-Manukau Detective Inspector Dave Lynch said, and police investigation is now focused on what Mr Cunningham was doing at the property and how he got there.
"Police have established that Mr Cunningham was at his home address on Fitzgerald Rd, Drury at approximately 10.00pm on Sunday evening; however, we have not been able to establish how or why he came to be at the Ararimu Road property approximately four hours later," Mr Lynch said.
"There is the possibility that someone has picked up Mr Cunningham whilst hitchhiking or that he came into contact with someone known to him who may have given him a lift somewhere during that four hour period.
"It is also possible that someone travelling in the Fitzgerald and Ramarama Road area has seen Mr Cunningham on foot or in a vehicle."
Anyone with information about Mr Cunningham is urged to contact Counties-Manukau Police on 2611 300 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Welcome fellow Mariners fan!
As you know, finding great Mariners Tickets is probably the hardest part of being a Mariners supporter, but here you will find information on how to obtain 'hard to get' and 'sold out' tickets.
We will share all our sources and make available the knowledge we have gained over the years of buying tickets online. So you to can get down close and cheer the Mariners to victory!
After a 20-plus game improvement over the 2008 campaign in 2009, Seattle Mariners Manager Don Wakamatsu looks to get his team past a 3rd place finish in the AL West. Returning to the squad are Ken Griffey Jr., Felix "The King" Hernandez and pitcher Erik Bedard. The team also signed some high profile free agents to include Chone Figgins, Casey Kotchman, and outfielder Eric Byrnes. The team also signed Milton Bradley in December 2009. Newly acquired pitcher Cliff Lee underwent surgery to remove a floating bone spur in his left foot and will not be able to make Spring Training.
The entire coaching staff, with the exception of 3rd Base Coach Bruce Hines who will be replaced by Mike Brumley.
Retired superstar Pitcher Randy Johnson will throw out the Ceremonial First Pitch at Safeco Field.
Although the Mariners have never made it to a World Series, some believe they still have produced some of baseball's best individual players.

Honey is a great way to increase your stamina. I take a teaspoon a day and have energy to burn. To get the very last bit of honey out of the jar or bottle, simply remove the lid and microwave for 10-15 seconds. It quickly becomes thinner and pourable again.

Honey has no magical properties - it is sugar and will give you as much energy as a spoonful of sugar! It is very yum though!
Honey actually is a healthier alternative to sugar. Honey does not contain some of the cancer enabling agents sugar has.
I'm trying to do a school project on honey as quick energy, and all this negative energy is confusing me.
Actually honey does have some magical properties. It contains a 1:1 ratio of fructose and glucose and that fuels your liver to produce recovery hormones. Simply put, your recovery hormones rebuild things in your body (if you want to know more, I can tell you). AND, once your liver has the fuel it needs to produce these recovery hormones, the hormones themselves have a fuel they feed on: your fat stores. This physiological phenomenon happens most at night, believe it or not. So eat a spoonful of honey right before bed!
Also, honey can provide a bit of tolerance-building for an individual with allergies. If you have allergies to any kind of plant in your area, eat local honey. The bees create that honey from the plants found in your area and then the honey contains properties from those plants in very small quantities, thus allowing your body to develop a tolerance to those plants.
I could tell you much more about the "magical properties" of honey but I'll stop with those two. To me, those are the big, "cool" things about honey.

Tough and smart at thirteen-years-old, Malcolm knew the illegal fight game like a pro, making bets and staying alive one day at a time. But nothing prepared him for Milkwood: a fat, ugly bastard who could take a beating like a government mule, but never, ever won. So when Malcolm risks his life to discover Milkwood's secret, he convinces the fighter to stop being a punching bag and to go for broke in the local tournament. Only problem? A beautiful woman called Lash who needs Milkwood for her own purposes, and a fouler creature on her heels known only as Dizzy Colt. But for Malcolm and Milkwood? Hell, it's just another day of Blood and Sawdust.
Blood & Sawdust is an original take on the tried and tested vampire fiction. We're not dealing with forbidden love between humans and vampires here or a lone hunter dealing with a vampire coven but instead it's a coming of age story about two young men overcoming the trauma of their troubled pasts.
The story focuses on Malcom, a streetwise kid and Milkwood, a fat, ugly underground fighter who is beaten to a pulp every night. After Milkwood saves Malcom's life from vicious assailants, Malcom learns that that there are in fact more to Milkwood than everyone realise. From this point on Malcom makes it his mission to turn Milkwood around and make him the sort of fighter Malcom knows Milkwood can be. However before Milkwood can become the champion in Malcom's eyes, Lash, a mysterious lady from Milkwood's past shows up with a monster in her wake.
What makes this story shine is the friendship between Malcom and Milkwood. Malcom helps Milkwood discover what was missing in his life and Milkwood gives Malcom the strength to face his nightmares. The two of them push each either onwards no matter how dire the circumstances are.
With this novel, Ridler has created two endearing characters that will stay with you long after you're finished with this story.
The inclusion of underground MMA fights give this story extra intensity and a sense of grittiness. The brutal and gory fight scenes are bound to make you wince as Milkwood takes one bloody beating after another and you will come to root for this underdog.
Ridler writes in an engrossing style that makes his characters on the pages come alive and the depiction of a less than perfect vampire is a refreshing change from the vampire fiction out there at the moment. A highly enjoyable read for anyone who is looking for a vampire novel with a different twist.

TAVERNIER -- A Tampa-based real estate company filed an appeal Friday, Oct. 26, with the state Division of Administrative Hearings, challenging the county Planning Commission's decision to keep a federal immigration facility from opening here.
Hoover Properties Islamorada LLC wanted to lease the former Florida Keys Electric Cooperative building, at mile marker 91.5, to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which would use the property to investigate border-related crimes.
Planning Director Townsley Schwab in April denied Hoover's application to redevelop the property as a federal facility, saying the proposed use did not meet the primary needs of the community, a requirement of its suburban-commercial zoning, and was incompatible with the historic district's character.
In an Aug. 31 hearing, the Monroe County Planning Commission upheld Schwab's decision after two hours of public comment without one local supporter of the project. Part of the commission's decision was based on interior plans for the building that have not been made public. They have been classified "need to know" and are open to only the commission and its staff.
Monroe County Commissioner Sylvia Murphy, however, has seen the plans and has said the building would include holding cells and weapons storage rooms.
In its appeal to the state, Hoover contends that the county failed to establish how the immigrations offices would adversely affect the community.
Through its attorney, Franklin Greenman of Marathon, Hoover also argues the commission based its decision on the facility containing a detention area. Hoover, however, says no evidence was presented to the commission that there would be a detention area.
The appeal describes the commission's actions as "capricious, discriminatory and unreasonable."
"Throughout this appeal, the county staff created imaginary definitions and contradictory interpretations to attempt to justify ... the unlawful decision of the senior planner and the planning commission," Greenman wrote.
The appeal says the building's purpose will not differ from that of the previous owner, the Florida Key Electric Cooperative, a public utility that provides power from Key Largo to Marathon.
Greenman also claims that the commission made its decision based on the wishes of people who live near the former FKEC building.
"The objections of a large number of individuals representing a small portion of the affected neighborhood are not a sound basis for the denial of the appeal," he wrote.
A poll of the individuals is not proper, the appeal says.
A hearing officer will be appointed to handle the case. A date and place for the hearing is not yet known.
Hoover Properties has not returned several phone calls from the Free Press on the matter.
When approached by the Free Press after the August hearing, Hoover Properties Chief Financial Officer Tob Trickey said he was disappointed with the commission's decision and declined to comment further.

Earlier this winter, I posted about 10 Ways to Lower Your Heating Bill. I took my own advice on the idea of "heating just the space you occupy", by purchasing a used EdenPure US1000 Infrared Heater as well as a DeLonghi Oil-Filled Radiator for comparison. How did they perform vs each other and do infrared heaters save money? Let's find out.
Do Infrared Heaters Save Money ? Yes, they CAN!
The operative word here is CAN. First you have to understand the limitations of the heater. So, don't expect a 1,000 watt heater to pump out the high BTU heat of your central heating system during the coldest winter nights. Ideally, you should set your central heat (remember, this is supplemental heating, not a replacement) to as low of a temperature as you can comfortably handle while moving about the house in your warm winter clothing. For us, this is about 62 degrees. You can then either place the infrared heater centrally in your home and put it on max heat which will keep your central system from turning on as frequently (this is useful for supplementing a higher cost energy source like heating oil), or you can place the heater in the room you will be using primarily throughout the day and aim the heater at yourself. Remember, the way infrared heat works is by heating objects rather than just circulating heated air (like your central air system does).
So, how much did we save this winter? I calculated we saved easily over $500 by using these two heaters. Here are very non-mathematical calculations:
- In December, we burned through 100 gallons of heating oil at a cost of $380
- I bought the heaters at the beginning of January and used them almost continuously in the manner described above. They added a mere $50 total to both my January and February electrical bills combined (yes, we have cheap electricity here in Pennsylvania).
- At the beginning of January, I also bought 150 gallons of oil for $570. Based on the very cold temperatures in January/February, I calculated we should have burned twice that much oil to heat our 2,000 square foot home. It is March 2nd, and we still have oil in the tank from that 150 gallon purchase.
- So, we saved $570 and spent $50 on electricity for a net energy savings of $525.
Now, you could argue that the capital expenditure on the heaters needs to be included in this cost saving equation. I paid $250 for the refurbished EdenPure Infrared Heater, and $65 for the oil filled radiant heater for a combined $315. That would bring my total savings down to only $210, however I still have those two very good quality heaters that I hope to get many years of service from, so overall the heaters were definitely worthwhile.
Infrared Heater vs Oil Radiant Heater
How did these two perform against each other? If I had to pick just one, I'd choose the infrared heater. I found the infrared heater was better at heating a larger space than the oil filled radiant heater. Why? Because, the infrared heater has a fan that pushes the hot air away from the infrared heating elements and circulates this heated air throughout the room, whereas the radiator simply uses the process of convection to heat the air and objects around it (a much slower process). What I ended up doing was to use eaach heater for different tasks. I placed the infrared heater centrally in my home to supplement my central heating system and used the oil-filled radiant heater to heat just one room (office or bedroom) which it did quite well. I never tested either unit, but I have a feeling the oil filled radiator actually uses less power than the infrared unit due to the fact that the infrared unit is always on (if set to maximum temperature) and the oil unit cycles off as the oil reaches a high enough temperature and subsequently cools down during the convection process.
Infrared heaters will save you money, but don't expect a miracle heater. And to be honest, if you have natural gas heat in your home your savings will not be near as pronounced as ours. As always, your mileage may vary. Many comfortable warm winters to you!

Patriots will take care of business
Updated: February 11, 2005, 12:16 PM ETBy Hank Goldberg | ESPN Insider
The rare occasion when you have to be concerned with the spread is when New England is in the Super Bowl. Last year, the Patriots failed as a seven-point favorite, beating Carolina on an Adam Vinatieri field goal. Two years prior, it was a New England three-point win, but they were getting 14 so the number was of no consequence.
More playmakers
Slight turnover edge (+9 to +6)
Better goaline defense
Third down efficiency (45.17% to 36.97%)
In 30 of 38 title games, the victor has won by more than seven points. That has held up in nine of the last 11 -- the two exceptions being New England. There are some key factors favoring the defending champs:

any ideals about this
i have a kohler tub and shower unit and and every time when i turn the handle just 1/4 of the way i get full pressure but as soon as i turn it up some more the pressure stop and water almost stops coming out any ideal?
Either replace the valve or pull it apart and repack the valve. IMO, It is easier to just install a new shower faucet.
how do i remove
how do i remove faucet knob? i do not see any srews except the 2 for the back plate
4 Attachment(s)
i did that but no cover the whole knob is one piece
Let me know if there is no set screw and I will have to do some searching and see if I can find anything on that faucet.
no screw to be seen
its a kohler
My best suggestion at the moment is to take a good look at it with a bright light on and see if there is any type of screw on it.
If you know the model of the faucet (stamped on it maybe?) I will see if I can find a diagram on the Kohler site.
I will search some more and report back. Maybe someone else here has some more thoughts on the subject.
I've read about 20 things that are more or less some variation of the set screw is there, but is hard to find. I might be wrong, and your faucet may have some other method of releasing it.
Does this faucet handle rotate to turn on the water or does it lift out? The set screw or whatever is holding it in place might be hidden under the handle and only visible when it is turn on to expose more of the underside of the handle.
1 Attachment(s)
If it's a kohler, I'd just about gaurantee you there's a small set screw under the handle in the middle on the bottom side. I've installed a whole houses full of kohler stuff and all their trim/handles install the same way...keep looking.
While this may not be your exact model, this PDF illustrates the installation/maintenance of the trim. I've zoomed ahead to the part with the handle install in the picture below.
Attachment 5569
feel with your fingers up under the handle for the small hole, but if there is NO set screw and you're SURE there is not one, it might be attached the same way they do windshield wipers. it may be a knockoff from china or something? but to get it off, you'll need a small headed flat screwdriver and look behind the handle for the clips to release.
re-read the post 88, the flathead is if it's a windshield wiper type connection, NOT a set screw.

Locally, there's little left to buy in financial services and it is understood IOOF had looked at a couple of NZ-based financial planning businesses last year before things went quiet.
After IOOF reported a $50.9 million interim profit on Monday, Kelaher told The Australian Financial Review it was still on the acquisition path.
"Every deal passes my desk first before it goes onto others," he said.
It has been eight months since Kelaher did his last deal, which is a long time for him. This is the man who has done more than 32 deals in the past decade, averaging about three a year. The last one was in July, when IOOF acquired Plan B.
IOOF has little presence in New Zealand, and it is seen as one logical way for the group to boost earnings.
