HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON foreign ministers of Britain and France are due here today to join with Secretary of State Dulles in map- ping Allied strategy for dealing with the Soviet peace offensive in half a dozen trouble spots around the globe. The Marquis of Salisbury, acting British for will be honored guests at a dinner at the Hotel Winona Flamingo Room, with judges, queen commit- tee, presidents of the Jaycees and Association of Commerce, Gener- al Chairman Carl Kiehnbaum, pre- vious queens and dignitaries also in attendance.

Unions affected are Bar- concert at Levee Park at tenders Local 152; Cooks, Waiters 300 Mill Ciiy Hotel Workers Walk Off Jobs MINNEAPOLIS OP) More than 300 employes walked off their jobs at Hotel Nicollet early today and a union spokesman said other hotels in the city probably would be struck tonight in a wage dispute. A Nicollet spokesman said the walkout came while most of the hostelry's 600 rooms were occupied by guests. He added that it was planned to continue renting rooms but that cafes, public rooms and bars would be shut down. Charles A. Paulsen, AFL inter- national representative, said the _ itary was scheduled to arrive before noon and French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault was due at p.m. Dulles arranged to meet both men at the airport. U. S. officials said the Big Three talks opening tomorrow and run- ning through Tuesday should re- sult in a new and better under- standing lems. of their common prob- I strike was called "to show the Dulles was understood to be in- terested in urging the new govern- ment of France, headed by Joseph Laniel, to speed ratification of the European Defense Community, which would permit West Ger- many to arm. Also, he is likely to press the British for an early solution of their difficulties with Egypt, a step which would clear the way for creation of the Middle East defense organization. Bidault is reported ready to ask the U. S. for a substantial increase in American assistance for the fight against Communist forces in Cattlemen Hit By Drought Ask Price Supports Stockmen of Five Southwest States Meet at Dalhart DALHART, Tex. cattle- men from five states gripped by a long and bitter drought meet today in this historic big ranch country to ask for federal price support on cattle. Some stockmen, once bitter foes of any government control, criti- cized officers of the big Cattle Growers Association who still shy away from federal aid and this week decided to break away and fight to get price supports for the producer. While the cattlemen who came here have what they think is a solution to their problems, the gov- ernors of their states are not so sure. The governors of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma are to meet in Amar- illo, Tex., tomorrow with their top agricultural officials. They'll try to find the way they can best aid farmers and ranchers. President Eisenhower declared portions of the five states disaster areas and set up an eight million dollar emergency fund for ranch- ers. Sen, Johnson Senate minority leader, claims the fund is inadequate. Senate debate 'raged, yesterday on a multimillion-dollar measure to extend federal drought aid. Sen. Kerr (D-Okla) drew the wrath of Sen. Aiken (R-Vt) by asking that Congress order Secretary of Agri- culture Benson to buy live beef cattle at 90 per cent of parity. Kerr charged cattlemen's total losses under the Republican admin- istration was equal to more than nine billion dollars. The usually mild-mannerecf Aiken told Kerr his statements were not true and said he wished Kerr would quit inject- ing politics into the farm programs. The hot sun and little or no rain has posed critical problems in parts of the five, states. The drought is no overnight affair. It's four years old in Texas. Farmers, ranchers and cities have felt the effects. Scores of cities have run into water shortages and water rationing. Some, like Ham- lin, have run completely out and haul drinking water by tank car. Louis P. Merrill, regional head of the U. S. Soil Conservation Service, has termed this drought "worse than the Dust Bowl" of 1934-36. He said it has caused damage in the multiple millions in the Southwest.

(AP Wirephoto) Jenkins, who I wS have to tinue some sort of foreign aid program for 10 years. Stassen, testifying before the Ap- propriations Committee in behalf of a five billion dollar money bill for foreign aid in the current fiscal year, said he thinks the Soviet Rus- sian threat will last a decade. Throughout that period, he said, it is his view this country will have to give military aid to at least some of its free world allies. Economic aid probably can be closed out sooner, he said. Stassen cited Turkey and For- mosa as two nations close to the Communists perimeter which must have some military aid as long as the Soviet threat endures. The MSA head emphasized, how- ever, that it is up to Congress each' year to decide whether the help should be continued. The Senate, in acting on a foreign aid authorization bill, has voted to close down MSA June 30, 1955, with a final deadline of 1956 on e'conomic aid spending and 1957 on military outlays. The House voted to let MSA die as scheduled in the present law, in mid-1954, with a 1956 expiration date on spending for both economic and military items in the pipeline. Stassen told the senators there are signs the foreign aid program is "right at the point of its most significant results." her eyes glazed.

Wiley Urges NEW YORK UP) Alexan- der Wiley of Wisconsin told his fellow Republicans Wednesday to stop their "constant criticism" and get behind President Eisenhower constructively. "Some Wiley said in an interview published in News- week Magazine, "don't seem to understand the world crisis today. "They don't seem to realize that we are in power now. One can't lead by simple negative policies, by constant criticism and by doing nothing constructive." Wiley conceded that the Demo- crats already have started to try to profit from "Republican dis- although, he said, "I know that most of the Republican party is with Ike on foreign and domes- tic policy." Wiley explained that his recent use of the description, "saboteurs, malcontents and goldbricks" refer- red to any Republican who pre- tends to support the administra- tion but "is actually trying to split the team asunder." Wiley, who is chairman of the Senate's Foreign Relations Com- mittee, defended his opposition to the so-called Bricker amendment, which would give Congress a greater voice in foreign affairs. Liaison Teams Huddle on Truce Terms Generals, Statesmen Fail to Budge Aged South Korean By SAM SUMMERLIN SEOUL and Commu- nist liaison officers huddled secret- ly in Panmunjom today while a top-level U. N. delegation headed by Gen. Mark Clark tried again to win President Syngman support for a Korean armistice. An authoritative source said Clark handed Rhee an important etter dealing with the stalemated truce talks. An official spokesman said it was not an ultimatum to Hhee to accept an armistice. Con- :ents of the letter were not di- vulged. There was widespread specula- tion that the liaison officers would arrange a meeting of full armi- stice delegations to resume nego- tiations on the final details of a truce. But after the 15-minute session, a U. N. spokesman would 'say only that the meeting was held for "ad- ministrative purposes only." "We said something to them and they said something back to said Col. Milton Herr, official spokesman for the U. N. truce de- legation. He said no documents were exchanged. The liaison officers adjourned without setting a date for another meeting. The U. N. Command asked for Thursday's liaison session after the Reds said Wednesday they were ready to resume the full truce talks, which were recessed June 20 after Rhee ordered the release of some anti-Red North Ko- rean war prisoners. Clark flew back to Tokyo late Thursday after his 22-minute con- ference with Rhee. Assistant Secretary of State Wal- ter Robertson, President Eisen- hower's truce emissary, leaned from his car as it sped from hilltop mansion and told newsmen: "The same as yesterday." U. N. generals and statesmen have failed to budge Rhee's insis- tence that the U. S. agree to re- sume the war unless a post-armi- stice political conference prog- resses toward unification of Korea in three months. Attending Thursday's conference with Clark and Robertson were U. S. ambassador to Korea Ellis 0. Briggs and Robert Murphy, political adviser to Clark. Fire Damage at New Brighton Arsenal NEW BRIGHTON, Minn. W! Fire caused an estimated damage early today by stoppage of a 155 millimeter artillery shell conveyor unit in Building 501 at the Twin Cities Arsenal. The blaze started from a flash in the oil quench tank of the heat treating unit after the conveyor became jammed. One fireman, Roy Buege, 3911 Thomas Ave. N. Minneapolis, was overcome by smoke. Officials of Donovan, Inc., holder of the shell contract, made the damage estimate. m Sharon Weidman, 3, clutches a doll in Binghamton (N.Y.)

Great pictures and installation. I can understand what you are saying about trial and error, not many books to tell you how to do a project like this and getting the wiring run so it doesn't get in the way of anything is tough sometimes. I need to caution you about one thing though. As euro-bred said, you really need to seal that box and vent it to the exterior of the car, down through the floorboard will be fine. We do make ventable batteries, but the one you used, a group 35 (as best as I can make out in the pictures) isn't one that has venting provisions. You are correct, it is fine to mount it on it's side, but, any battery that is overcharged has provisions to vent itself and our batteries are no different. Without being able to vent, they would explode and that isn't a good option either. However, those gasses are toxic and can harm you and your passengers in the event that the battery did get overcharged. Please look at maybe a new cover for your box, some rubber gaskets or something to seal what you have there and then make some provision to vent it outside. Depending on the area you are working with, you may be better off to google ventable battery boxes and buy something that will be plug and play.
Thanks for posting the install though, very informative.

Tues. P.M. Hot Clicks: Hannah Kirkelie; Scenes from Korea's Bunt Derby
Follow Extra Mustard on Facebook | Follow Andy on Twitter
Bunt Derby
Remember that "Chicks dig the long ball" commercial from a few years back. It's so dated. Right now it's all about the short ball and nowhere is that more apparent than Korea's Bunt Derby. The event actually tests players' bunting skills against one another and if there's any justice in the world, MLB will steal this idea for 2017.
Today in Luxury Golf Carts
There are two types of golfers in this world. Those who cruise the course in a Mercedes-Benz Style Edition Garia Golf Cart and everyone else. I'm more a fan of the former group.
Donald Trump's RNC Entrance, WWE Style
Donald Trump made a dramatic entrance at the Republican National Convention Monday night. This led us to see what his entrance would look like if he had used the entrance theme of pro wrestlers. Shawn Michaels' Sexy Boy is my favorite.

Is He Marriage Material? Essential Qualities of a Christian Husband
Angie Lewis
11/12/2010 / Dating
Appearances mean a lot for people today. And sadly is the main reason for rising divorce statistics. We're so captivated by good looks, clothing and how it is worn, nice sounding words, and fancy cars that we completely sidestep character traits of a person. Sometimes we are so enthralled by the way someone looks, we don't seem to care if that person is honest, self-controlled, or considerate. But if we want to have a happy marriage we should get to know a person starting from the inside and then working ourselves out. What should we look for when pursuing husband material?
Good Relationship with Parents?
If a man has a good relationship with his parents then the general rule is he will have a good relationship with his wife. Childhood is an emotional growing experience and teaches us how to treat others, especially those we live with such as our parents. Childhood teaches us to obey and respect our parents, and it teaches us that we will not always get our way, and that sometimes we will have to give in for the sake of peace and harmony. All of these things are good character traits that are brought into marriage.
Therefore a man that is respectful, thoughtful and considerate of his mom and dad will also be that way with the woman he marries. If he respected his dad's influence in him when he was living at home he is more apt to respect the authority of and direction of God leading his life when he is older. Which brings me to the next good quality to look for in a potential husband.
Good Relationship with God?
Understand that you will not know if a man has a good relationship with God by what you see or by what you hear him say. People can appear to be anything that you want, at least for a time, eventually true character does come out. Going to church, wearing a cross, or praying out loud does not necessarily signify that a man has a good relationship with God. These are all things that can be done for appearances sake. Wait and be patient. If a man has a good relationship with Christ you will see Godly qualities shine in his behavior.
These qualities manifest themselves in people who have the Spirit of Christ living within them. The Holy Spirit helps us become men and women of God through the fruit of the Spirit. Some of these wonderful qualities to look for in a husband are gentleness, goodness, meekness, temperance, self-control and Christ-based love.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such things there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:22-26)

Peugeot is determined to get its claws back into the hatchback market with the launch of the 208 in New Zealand next week.
With the staid previous models - the 206 and 207 - failing to help it hold on to market share against the likes of the Ford Fiesta and Suzuki Swift, there are hopes that this revitalised hatch will win over buyers who want a European car for around the price of a Japanese equivalent.
Peugeot's New Zealand distributor, Sime Darby, says the new car is a generation jump from the previous model, and it's after a generation jump in its buyers too.
It is wooing Generation Y buyers, who are used to such features as the 208's touch screen, and thinks it's a 70/30 split of women over men buyers. The company wants to lure new buyers of the brand into its showrooms, especially with the offer of finance packages.
In the showrooms will be 208s available with two petrol engines (a 1.2-litre VTi five-speed manual and a 1.6-litre VTi four-speed automatic) and three- and five-door body types.
The base model Active 1.2-litre five-door will sell for $23,990; the Active five-door auto for $25,990, which Darby is picking as fan favourite, and two fancy Allure models: a three- and five-door with that 1.6-litre-auto transmission combo, priced from $28,990 and $29,990 for the three-door.
The 1.2-litre manual is perky enough, though it needs pushing through those lower gears to get the torque up, while the 1.6-litre auto is a city slicker.
The interior is a stylish affair, with a "heads-up" instrument panel sitting just over the top of the steering wheel so the speedo and rev-counter can be seen at an easy glance, while next to it on the dash is that 18cm touch screen.
But it's the steering wheel that dominates the cabin's style. It's smaller than previous models and has an oval rather than rounded base, giving a sporty look. Its smaller size also helps direct and precise driving control.
The body gains sculptured lines while the boot has a subdued curve and the boomerang-shaped rear light has three lines of red lights around it to create a "claw" mark.
Just as the 208 lands here, the souped-up versions of the hatch are being revealed in Europe.
The GTi model was presented at last week's Paris motor show, with a R5 S2000-spec rally car (top left), while a premium 208 XY has launched in Europe.
Both the three-door hatches are defined on a widened track.

High Pressure Generators
The HiP High Pressure Generator is a manually operated piston screw pump. It is designed for any application where a liquid* is to be compressed within a small volume to develop pressure.
Pressure Ranges:
• 0-5,000 psi l 0-10,000 psi l 0-15,000 psi l 0-30,000 psi l 0-60,000 psi l 0-75,000 psi l 0-100,000 psi
All wetted parts are of 316 stainless steel and 17-4PH stainless steel. Parker Poly Pak® is standard .
The High Pressure Generator is easily mounted to a work bench and maximum pressures may be obtained with a minimum amount of effort by the operator. The standard connection is a High Pressure coned-and-threaded (HF4) opening for 1/4" O.D. tubing up to 60,000 psi and XF4 connections for pressures above 60,000 psi. Adapters are available with optional Teflon packing at no additional cost for other type connections including pipe.
Typical Applications:
• Testing of instruments, gauges, component parts
• Pressure measurement studies
• Injection of liquid catalysts
• Pressurizing chemicals
• A convenient source of high pressure in the laboratory
The schematic illustrates a very basic layout for using a Pressure Generator. A reservoir (R) is shown connected by means of valves and fittings to a component (C) that is to be pressurized. A gauge has been included for determining pressure.
With valve B closed and valve A open, the handle of the Pressure Generator is rotated counter-clockwise to draw fluid from the reservoir into the cylinder body of the Pressure Generator. Valve A is then closed and valve B is opened. By rotating the Pressure Generator handle clockwise, the piston will now compress the fluid to develop pressure in the component that is to be pressurized.
If sufficient pressure is not reached in one stroke, the system can be recycled. Valve B can be closed in order to maintain pressure in the components. Valve A is then opened, and fluid is again drawn into the Pressure Generator from the reservoir. Closing Valve A and opening Valve B will now allow the Pressure Generator to be operated to develop increased pressure in the component.
Pressure in the component can be vented by opening both valves.

Antenna positioners can be rotational with single or multiple axes or translational in X, Y, Z co-ordinates. MI Technologies offers positioners for every test requirement. They are designed for configurability and are rugged, reliable and have a high capacity. All of MI's positioners are controllable by the MI-710C Family of Integrated Position Controllers.
MI-603 Family of AZ/EL Positioners
- Flagship AZ/EL Positioner Family
- Payloads from 300 to 200,000 lbs.
- Industry Leading Power-Density vs. Size
- Precision Native Accuracy & Construction
- All-Weather Design (Indoor/Outdoor)
- Superior Reliability & Longevity
- Sequential or Simultaneous Axis Motion
- Durable Marine-Grade Finish
MI-51000 Family of Azimuth Positioners
The MI-51000 Family of Azimuth Positioners fall into two principle categories: medium-duty and heavy-duty. The MI-51050 and MI-51051 support medium loads up to 2,000 lbs while the MI-51150 through MI-51850 models provide precision mounting for test fixtures and antennas supporting loads up to 400,000 lbs.
MI-53000 Family of Azimuth-over-Elevation Positioners
The MI-53000 Family of Azimuth-over-Elevation Positioners has two orthogonal axes which permit the simulation of spherical coordinate probe movement. This family of positioners offers a combination of the most desirable operational characteristics of the previously described azimuth positioners.
MI-54000 Family of Elevation-over-Azimuth Positioners
The MI-54000 Family of Elevation-over-Azimuth Positioners permits the rotation of elevation at fixed positions of azimuth. The MI-54000 Family of Elevation-over-Azimuth Positioners is assembled in the (standard) eccentric configuration. All except the MI-54050 can easily be converted to the concentric configuration during installation.
MI-55000 Family of Azimuth-over-Elevation-over-Azimuth Positioners
The MI-55000 Family of Azimuth-over-Elevation-over-Azimuth Positioners is our most versatile family of positioners. The lower azimuth axis on these positioners allows precise pointing of the upper azimuth over elevation axes. Both eccentric and concentric configurations are available for most models. Note that an installed RF path through each positioner can be ordered as an option.
MI-56000 Family of Polarization Positioners
The MI-56000 Family of Polarization Positioners is available to support maximum loads of up to 3,000 lbs. The bolt-hole pattern on the positioner turntable is compatible with MI Technologies transmitting antennas and the mounting flanges for MI Technologies standard gain horns. A throughcenter hole facilitates installation of coaxial cable, waveguide, rotary joints, and RF components.
MI-6111 Family of Rotary Positioners
The MI-6111 Family of Rotary Positioners is designed to fill roles in three major applications: azimuth positioning, antenna polarization positioning and compact range feed polarization positioning. For each of these applications a variation of the basic design of the MI-6111B has been implemented. The compact range configuration adds a special tilt housing and tower.
Inductosyn Encoders
MI Technologies offers an encoder option for many positioner models that provides an axis position accuracy of 0.005° worst case peak error with 0.0001° resolution. The increased accuracy and resolution enhances total antenna measurement system performance beyond conventional synchro transducers and optical encoding techniques.
MI-8100 Family of Precision Two-Axis Gimbal Positioners
Incorporating direct drive motors and extremely accurate encoders, the MI-8100 Gimbals provide superb responsiveness and pointing accuracy. The MI-8120 Two-Axis Gimbal offers extreme accuracy by virtue of its direct drive motors that are structurally coupled to the encoders and the antenna/ counterweight system. Flexible couplings are absent, as are gears, timing belts and virtually all the conventional sources of positioning error in a mechanical drive. System stiffness is thereby greatly enhanced, and backlash is completely eliminated.

My First Things column this week takes a look at the madness that is upon us in these final days of a deplorably long and seemingly never-ending electoral season, and then shares what I have been using to lift myself out of the funk and fug when the headlines, opinions and debates are all-too-heavy:
Still, there is a restlessness, and in recent weeks, when that feeling comes upon me, I have found an outlet in an unexpected source—Baronius Press' newly released edition of Msgr. Ronald Knox's translation of the Saint Jerome's Vulgate Bible; The so-called Knox Bible . . . is not a study bible; it's a reading bible, and Knox's language pulls us into the scriptural stories and images we know so very well and then elevates us with its staggering beauty.
Opening the book at random, I encountered the Song of Songs:
What a wound thou hast made, my bride, my true love, what a wound thou hast made in this heart of mine! And all with one glance of an eye, all with one ringlet straying on thy neck!
There, in a few dozen words, I got a glimpse of the whole mystery of God's design and his ineffable love for us. The Creator so beguiled with his Creation that he is willing to become vulnerable to it; willing to live and bleed and die for the sake of such a love. Knox's translation crystallized the truth that we can too easily forget in our electoral anxieties, that yes, God's hand has been involved—from the first nanosecond, in all of our human affairs—and it remains, even when society seems adrift, and when the princes of the world seem wholly inadequate to their offices.
You can read the rest here.
Baronius supplied me with a review copy of the Knox Bible and I have to say, I'm loving it. My son happened to be home when it arrived and he was immediately struck by its material beauty — the leather binding, the two markers and gilt-edged pages, but when he opened it up and saw the prose format, I had a hard time getting it from his hands.
This is a bible meant for hunkering-down-to-read and becoming lost within–a true escape into another place, from where you emerge refreshed and elevated from simple joy of reacquainting oneself with language structure that is slightly higher and more formal than the usual, but more readable and (perhaps) accessible than the Douay Rheims.
As I mentioned at First Things, my random opening took me to the Song of Songs and when I went to the beginning of that book, I was captivated. Accustomed to "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; more delightful is your love than wine…" (which is perfectly lovely) I confess I was still got a jolt from the immediacy of Knox's lush romance:
A kiss from those lips! Wine cannot ravish the senses like that embrace, nor the fragrance of rare perfumes match it for delight. Thy very name spoken soothes the heart like flow of oil; what wonder the maids should love thee?
From there, I moved to the Book of Tobit (or, Tobias), Chapter 3:
So at last Tobias fell a-sighing, and he prayed still, but wept as he prayed. Lord, he said, thou hast right on thy side; no award of thine but is deserved, no act of thine but tells of mercy, of faithfulness and of justice. Yet bethink thee, Lord of my case; leave my sins unpunished, my guilt and the guilt of my parents forgotten. If we are doomed to loss, to banishment and to death, if though hast made us a by-word and a laughing-stock in all the countries to which thou has banished us, it is because we have defied they commandments…
Yeah, I read that, took a look at the state of the world, the church, the nation and decided to commit that to memory, for future use!
Then I moved to the psalms, which are such a big part of my life. And once again, I discovered that the Grail Translations are still my favorite, but it was interesting reading the psalms as prose-poems; here's part of Psalm 19 (18):
See how the skies proclaim God's glory, how the vault of heaven betrays his craftsmanship! Each day echoes its secret to the next, each night passes on to the next its revelation of knowledge…
And then, of course, the beginning of John's gospel:
At the beginning of time the Word already was; and God had the Word abiding with him, and the Word was God. He abode, at the beginning of time, with God. It was through him that all things came into being, and without him came nothing that has come to be. In him there was life, and that life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness, a darkness which was not able to master it.
It's good to read different translations of scripture, particularly in prayer. A new translation — the use of a different word — and suddenly one has a fresh perspective for lectio divinaone gleans something all-new for pondering. In this little section, what jumped out at me and filled my prayer-journal was: without him came nothing that has come to be. . But Knox's footnotes acknowledged another interpretation that gave me even more.
Since this is not a study bible, footnotes are minimal and are directly concerned with the translation and they're quite conversational as Knox explains why he chose a particular word over another.
Baronius includes with this bible a brief booklet written by Knox, "On Englishing the Bible." I'm only reading a little bit as I can, but it's pretty charming and again, as conversational as you could wish.
Apparently I'm not the only one moved to tears by this translation

The Chocolate Bear changes hands
A popular chocolate shop in downtown Waynesville changed hands Monday,
In keeping with a recent trend at The Chocolate Bear, Judi Ferris sold the business to an employee, the same thing that happened when she went from employee to owner about two years ago.
"I love the store, I love my customers and I will miss them," she said, "but I just got too busy. My life just got out of balance."
The new owner, Jenny McCall, had worked at The Chocolate Bear for the past five years, and jumped at the chance to buy the business when Ferris said she needed to restructure her life.
"I've absolutely loved being here — the energy of the shop," McCall said. "There's never been a day I've come into the shop and felt like I was at work."
McCall, who is a sixth-grade English teacher at Waynesville Middle School, will work at the shop during the weekends and the staff of five full- and part-time employees will handle the middle of the week hours.
"Judi left the store in great working order, so I'll just step in and take over the shop," said McCall, who only has small changes in mind to tweak operations a bit.
Ferris said she will be using her freed-up time to visit family, which lives out of town, do more volunteer work for her church, United Methodist Church in Maggie Valley, and work on a new project involving selling antiques.
"I had a retail business specializing in antiques in Illinois for 14 years," she said, "and I wanted to do smething similar here, but couldn't find a storefront I wanted."
That's when she started working at the Chocolate Bear, and when the former owners decided they were too busy, she said she took a leap of faith and purchased the store.
"The good Lord blessed me with a good business," she said. "When I bought the store, I told myself it wasn't all about me. I wanted to be able to help other people through The Chocolate Bear, and I've been able to do that."
Ferris has been at the forefront of the Million Coin Campaign: Cash Conquers Cold and not only has kept a coin container at her store, but mobilized her church to undertake a coin campaign as well. That effort resulted in a contribution of about six gallons of coins.
In addition, Ferris helped organize the Shepherd's Table, a church effort that feeds about 70 people each Monday night in Maggie Valley. Through this effort, as well as encounters she has had through her business, she has found out about people in need and helped as she could.
"I'm not a wealthy person by any means, but I like to help other people. It makes me feel good," she said.
Ferris said the business has grown in the past two years, in part because of the improved economy, an increased inventory and through increased advertising.
"We have been very fortunate to have a lot more people coming to town, and The Chocolate Bear has a lot of repeat business. I want to thank all my wonderful, loyal customers."
As for McCall, one of the busiest months of the year, Valentine's Day, is approaching. The store has long specialized in just the right gift idea for the special day, and this year will be no exception.
Preparing for the big season is as enjoyable as it gets at the chocolate shop, McCall said.
"What isn't fun about going through catalogues of chocolate?" she asked.
During January only, The Chocolate Bear will only be open on weekends. Regular hours at the store at 170 N. Main St. in Waynesville will resume in February.

Martin O'Neill: 'Black Cats must keep cool'
MARTIN O'NEILL last night hit back at his critics and vowed to turn around goal-shy Sunderland.
By hook or by crook, I intend to make this team one the supporters are genuinely proud of
But O'Neill, who is three weeks away from his first anniversary in charge, has pleaded for time, insisting he has no magic wand.
After a bright start at the Stadium of Light, the 60-year-old has seen his side struggle since today's opponents Everton dumped them out of the FA Cup in a quarter-final replay in March.
They head to Goodison Park on the back of two morale-sapping home defeats and with just one league win and six league goals so far this term.
O'Neill isn't panicking, however, and has pledged to get it right.
"By hook or by crook, I intend to make this team one the supporters are genuinely proud of," he said.
"The one thing I do have is a little bit of spirit and plenty of determination and a load of enthusiasm.
"It would mean a lot to me to make this a fairly decent football club and I've got a lot of self-belief not to be knocked off course by a couple of results.
"I'll put everything into it and I've got absolutely no doubt that it'll be good."
O'Neill added: "I wish it could be instantaneous but the greatest manager in the game has had 26 years at Old Trafford and he will tell you it doesn't happen overnight.
"By the same token, I don't want Sunderland fans waiting a decade.
"If this situation continues when we're just treading water or are in serious difficulty every year, well, I'm sorry, what's the point of me doing it. You could get anybody else in do to that.
"It won't happen overnight – I have not completed a season yet – but I intend to do that."

Many people on the East Coast were unable to go to work Monday or Tuesday because of Hurricane Sandy, an unusual storm fueled by the unusually warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Climate change very probably contributed to or caused this warmth.
So why do the presidential campaigns continue to ignore the issue of climate change? The biggest topic is the economy, but climate change is definitely a drag on the economy and will continue to be for generations. It seems that it has recently contributed to drought in the Midwest and fires in the West.
If we can win World War II and create the Marshall Plan, we can find effective ways to come together to preserve and protect our planet and all the things that live on it, including ourselves.
When people cannot go to work, when they lose their homes, crops and livestock and — eventually — their dreams, it gets to be about the economy, stupid.

The Rockaway Development and Revitalization Corporation (RDRC) has announced several initiatives focused on business development and commercial revitalization for the Beach 116 Street commercial-retail corridor in Rockaway Park. RDRC's participation in these programs will require the support of community residents, property and business owners, the Rockaway Chamber of Commerce and civic associations.
The New York City Department of Small Business Services has awarded RDRC a contract to provide project management, marketing and community outreach services in conjunction with the establishment of a Business Improvement District (BID) along the Beach 116 Street commercial-retail corridor.
A BID is a formal organization made up of property owners and commercial tenants who are dedicated to promoting business development and improving the quality of life of an area. BIDs deliver supplemental services such as sanitation and maintenance, public safety and visitor services, marketing and promotional programs, capital improvements, and beautification projects for the area.
The New York State Empire Zone Program was created to stimulate economic growth through a variety of state tax incentives designed to attract new businesses to New York State and to enable existing businesses to expand and create more jobs. Qualified businesses are eligible to receive wage tax credits, investment tax credits, zone capital credits, a NYS sales tax refund, and various energy incentives as well as access to interest loans.
RDRC is the Zone Coordinator for the Rockaway Peninsula Empire Zone Program. This program was recently expanded in 2006 to include the Beach 116 Street commercial-retail corridor.
The NYS Main Street Program provides building owners with matching grant funds for the renovation of first floor commercial or civic space allowing up to $30,000 per building, with an additional $30,000 for each renovated residential unit, not exceeding 75 percent of the total project cost or $120,000 per building, whichever is less. Building renovation grants may be used for facade renovations and interior or exterior building improvements.
Main Street provides grants to building owners of up to $500,000 per building, but not exceeding 33 percent of project cost, to assist in establishing or expanding cultural, civic or business anchors that are identified in a local plan as key to local revitalization efforts.
The Industrial and Commercial Abatement Program (ICAP) provides abatements of real property taxes for varying periods up to 25 years for eligible industrial and commercial buildings that are built, modernized, rehabilitated, expanded, or otherwise physically improved.
To be eligible for benefits for commercial renovation, the applicant may be expanding, modernizing, or otherwise improving an existing structure. Applicants must make a minimum required expenditure (MRE) equal to at least 30 percent of the taxable assessed value of the project in the year of the issuance of the building permit or, if no permit is required, the start of construction. Applications must be processed before work permits are issued by the City.
The Temporary Pedestrian Street program is a community based initiative that closes streets to motor vehicles on weekend days, opening them to people and local businesses.
The benefits of involvement in the program include: collaboration of local merchants, community-based organizations, artists and musicians to provide programming; opportunity to promote and engage local businesses and organizations; and opportunity to enhance the retail shopping and dining experience with walking and outdoor activities.

As mentioned before, I bought new desktop – and with new computer, there comes usually new challenges.
My new PC have built-in card reader – but as you know, if you have card reader with NO media inside, it will still occupy your drive letters and this can be quite confusing. Specially because I am using external USB drive and I am used that it is mapped to drive E: on my laptop – on desktop it is drive J:
So I decided to use some less known functionality of Windows – to map disks to local folders instead of drive letters. To achieve that, you have to follow these steps:
1.) Create some local folders – I created C:\Links (which is my storage of symlinks shortcuts) and there I created folder ExternalHDD
2.) Right click on Computer and select Manage
3.) Select Disk Management
4.) Right click on selected disk, select Change Drive Letters and Paths
5.) Remove current drive letter:
6.) Click on Add. Instead of specifying new drive letter select "Mount in the following empty NTFS folder" and specify folder you created in step 1:
7.) Click OK
Now you can check that your external HDD is no longer available through drive letter, but it is instead mapped to your local drive 🙂
I also created C:\Links\CardReaders – and I am mapping all my (empty) card readers as folders (so SD will be SD, MMC will be MMC etc…) to better organize my stuff:
So here is after all my final picture from Computer:
I really like to use symlinks to organize my data and to make them easily accessible. Microsoft is also using symlinks – and this is one of examples where you can run into hidden implementation of symlinks.
UPDATE: Forgot to mention – it is NOT Windows Vista specific feature, it definitely works on Windows XP and probably on Windows 2000 (I am using this feature for looooooong time)

Wisconsin natives Butch Vig, Mike Maher win Grammys
Grammys 2014
Before the 56th Annual Grammy Awards telecast even began, Wisconsin natives Butch Vig and Mike Maher were celebrating.
Vig, the Viroqua-born producer behind Nirvana's classic "Nevermind," and a past Grammy winner for producing Foo Fighters' "Wasting Light" and Green Day's "21st Century Breakdown," picked up his third Grammy Sunday, for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media, as the compilation producer for "Sound City: Real to Reel," the soundtrack for Foo Fighter frontman Dave Grohl's documentary "Sound City," about the studio where "Nevermind," and several other landmark albums, were recorded.
And Wauwatosa native Maher, the 31-year-old trumpet player for the jazz-funk-rock hybrid Snarky Puppy collected his first Grammy with the group, for Best R&B Performance for "Something," with Lalah Hathaway from the band's 2013 album "Family Dinner - Volume 1." Maher, a Marquette University High School graduate in 2000, went to the University of North Texas in Denton to study music, where he co-founded the group, now based in New York, in 2004.
"It's just unbelievable and amazingly exciting," Maher told the Journal Sentinel. "What we do is off the beaten path as far as what's very popular music. It's good to know there is a part of the music industry that is acknowledging what we are doing."
Check back to jsonline.com for Grammy photos throughout the night. A full recap of the Grammys will be online late Sunday night.

In order to reliably assess 8th grade students' technology literacy, Northside ISD will again be requiring all district middle schools to proctor the TCEA-TLA (Texas Computer Education Association-TechLiteracy Assessment). This assessment is based on Texas's Technology Applications Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS).
Our campus is scheduled to take the 72 question assessment on May 27th-May 29th through the 8th grade Science classes. This assessment will be proctored by the 8th Grade Science Teachers, with the support of the Academic Technology Department. The resulting data will help both Pat Neff Middle School and Northside ISD better support the needs of students and teachers through the technology integration process.

Alumni Share Post-Swarthmore Career Advice with Students
Senior year is a time for students to prepare for a future after college. To help ease the transition, Career Services regularly invites Swarthmore alumni to campus to share their thoughts and advice with students to guide them through the process of exploring career fields.
"It's an exceptional way to keep a window open to the student world at the College while providing some insights into my former work world," says Koof Kalkstein '78, a consultant and former managing director of Boston Consulting Group who gave a presentation on consulting careers earlier this fall. Other events this semester have featured alumni talking about careers in environmental sustainability, investment banking, theater, think tanks, and commercial writing. Career Services also sponsored a Wall Street student-alumni reception and a panel of alumni who discussed how economics prepares students for a wide range of fields.
"Swarthmore students are so wonderfully trained between the ears," Kalkstein adds. "These sessions help them think a bit more about how to convey that preparation in circumstances they are neither trained for nor experienced in." At right, hear some of the advice he shared.
Joanna Venator '13, an economics major from Hackettstown, N.J., actively participates in programming with visiting alumni and employers recruiting Swarthmore students.
"These are all employers who are actively looking for Swatties," says Venator, who also serves as a Career Peer Advisor. "It's nice to know when you're applying to a job that the company or organization knows what kind of academic background you're coming from."
Venator also uses the online services available to students to streamline their job search. "I really appreciate that Career Services resources include databases with job postings that are tailored to what Swarthmore students are looking for," she adds.

(UPDATE: We've got word of a previous Twitter proposal — details below.)
A San Francisco web designer used Twitter to pop the question Thursday, asking his co-worker to marry him in what
looks like might be the microblogging service's first-ever second marriage proposal.
Max Kiesler's sweet tweet at 3:13 a.m. Thursday: "To @emilychang – After fifteen years of blissful happiness I would like to ask for your hand in marriage?"
Emily Chang's reply, a minute later: "@maxkiesler – yes, i do."
Kiesler, who founded strategic design consultancy Ideacodes with Chang in 2005, confirmed Friday that the story of the proposal, as reported by Mashable, is true.
Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said Kiesler's proposal could, indeed, be a historic moment for the microblogging service, which has grown in popularity since making headlines at South by Southwest in 2007.
"It's hard to confirm for certain that it is the very first marriage proposal over Twitter," wrote Stone in an e-mail to Wired.com. "It may well be the first public marriage proposal over Twitter (some accounts are protected)."
We're looking forward to the possible live twittering of the wedding ceremony.
UPDATE: Stephanie Sullivan of W3Conversions e-mailed Friday to report that she and her fiancee, Greg Rewis, got engaged March 2 via Twitter. The couple live in different cities and travel constantly, so the tweet engagement made sense for them.
"I thought it was the most romantic proposal ever!" writes Sullivan. "And he surprised me with the ring when we met on my layover in PHX (on our way to SXSW to speak)."
Here's the current contender for first Twitter proposal:
The proposal: "@stefsull – ok. for the rest of the twitter-universe (and this is a first, folks) – WILL YOU MARRY ME?"
Sullivan's reply: "@garazi – OMG – Ummmmm… I guess in front of the whole twitter-verse I'll say — I'd be happy to spend the rest of my geek life with you."
Rewis' justification for using Twitter rather than getting down on bended knee or using another, more modern, proposal ritual: "Screw Times Square! THIS, my friends, is the way to propose to a beautiful, wonderful woman!"
