WW~Notes: The shit is going to hit the fan as more parents stand up to this emotional abuse of their children no matter their ages. If parents are not allowed to protect their children – then who will? We are living in an age of utter insanity when parents can be arrested at a school for defending a moral liberty and right as a U.S. citizen.
- Attorney William Baer charged with disorderly conduct at meeting in New Hampshire between parents and the school board
- Mr Baer violated his 'two-minute speaking time' while discussing why his daughter should not have been given a book with sexual themes
- Gilford High School made Jodi Picoult's Nineteen Minutes required reading for class of 14-year-olds
- Book about school shooting has themes of bullying and sexual violence
- Passage includes the words: 'She could feel his erection, hot against her stomach…. Semen, sticky and hot, pooled on the carpet beneath her'
- Jodi Picoult tweeted: 'Another parent is challenging #19Minutes bc it contains a sex scene far more vague than anything on TV. Sad to focus on that & not bullying.'
A father who complained about his 14-year-old daughter being given a novel with sexually-explicit content in her high school English class was arrested on Monday during a school board meeting.
William Baer lost his temper during the meeting between parents and school officials from New Hampshire's Gilford High School.
They had gathered to discuss the appropriateness of ninth-grade students being given Jodi Picoult's Nineteen Minutes – a novel about a school shooting that contains themes of bullying and sexual violence.
Willaim Baer is led out of the school board meeting by a police officer on Monday after he complained about his 14-year-old daughter being given a sexually-explicit book as an English assignment
Mr Baer, an attorney, raised his voice at the meeting and said that he didn't believe that the school showed his daughter respect by giving her a book with sexually-explicit themes
Dad arrested for violating school board's two minute rule
Parents had met with the school to express their anger that they had not been notified that the book contained sexually explicit material or been given the option to opt out of it.
The book contains a description of rough sex between two teenagers including the words: 'She could feel his erection, hot against her stomach'.
Mr Baer expressed his outrage that his daughter had been assigned the reading material and when he asked to read the concerning passage aloud, the school board refused.
'Sir, would you please be respectful of the other people?' a school board member asked.
He replied: 'Like you're respectful of my daughter, right? And my children?'
Mr Baer, an attorney, was seen on camera arguing heatedly with school authorities and a parent who supported the book for several minutes before a police officer approached him in the audience.
The officer appeared to ask Mr Baer to leave. He responded: 'Because I violated the two-minute rule?', referring to his allotted speaking time at the meeting.
'I guess you're going to have to arrest me,' Mr Baer told the police officer, who then ordered him to stand up and led him by the arm out of the library meeting.
The father was then placed in handcuffs and charged with disorderly conduct.
Mr Baer told EAGNews: 'I was shocked when I read the passage, and not much shocks me anymore.
'My wife was stunned by the increasingly graphic nature of the sexual content of the scene and the imagery it evoked.'
Another parent Doug Lambert told WCVB: 'You are also cheating the kids out of being exposed to real literature in front of them. This is garbage.'
Jodi Picoult also weighed in on the debate over her book.
She wrote: 'Another parent is challenging #19Minutes bc it contains a sex scene far more vague than anything on TV. Sad to focus on that & not bullying.'
The lines which caused parents' concern in the class-assigned text:
'Relax,' Matt murmured, and then he sank his teeth into her shoulder. He pinned her hands over her head and ground his hips against hers. She could feel his erection, hot against her stomach. She couldn't remember ever feeling so heavy, as if her heart were beating between her legs. She clawed at Matt's back to bring him closer. 'Yeah,' he groaned, and he pushed her thighs apart. And then suddenly Matt was inside her, pumping so hard that she scooted backward on the carpet, burning the backs of her legs. He clamped his hand over her mouth and drove harder and harder until Josie felt him come.Semen, sticky and hot, pooled on the carpet beneath her.
Nineteen Minutes was published in 2007 and debuted at number one on the New York Times Best Seller list.
Picoult's fans jumped to her defense over criticism of the novel.
Jolene wernig wrote:'@jodipicoult My 2 girls went to #GHS and LOVE your books! Re-reading 19minutes this week.'
Holly Soave tweeted to the writer: '@jodipicoult as a teen, #19minutes changed my life & the way I think about bullying & how actions affect everyone around us. I'm grateful.'
The school board apologized'for the failure of the school district to send home prior notice of assignment of the novel' but added that it had been part of the school curriculum since 2007 and there had been no complaints.
Superintendent Kent Hemingway told WND that the book was 'thematically important' because it allowed students to explore issues surrounding a fictional school shooting.
MailOnline was awaiting a comment from Mr Hemingway.
The school's mission statements include the belief that 'learning occurs best in disciplined, safe, and respectful environments where community members are valued and expected to play their roles in education and be accountable for their actions'.

You are here: Home » Bad Junctions » A1-M25-A1081
Ordnance Survey map Alternative aerial view
Where is it?
M25 junction 23 and A1(M) junction 1. A vital northern radial route from London crosses the country's most important ring road, the M25.
What's wrong with it?
Another case of the hopelessly underpowered here. Not only is it another of my pet hates, the three-level stacked roundabout interchanges, but it's blocked enough to have that most fashionable of accessories, traffic lights at each entry point. A simple journey from the M25 anticlockwise to South Mimms Services takes the motorist through five sets of traffic lights, with another four on exiting the services to return to the motorway. Just to add to the excitement, a local road (the A1081, ex-A6) joins in the fun.
Why is it wrong?
Basically a desire to be cheap. The A1(M) terminates on the M25 here, but that means the A1 to the south has no motorway restrictions and therefore this junction must provide an exit for non-motorway traffic. Immediately a free-flow junction is made impossible since the A1081 now has to be there.
What would be better?
Something free flow would be good, or at the very least demolishing the services and shifting them somewhere else so the junction doesn't have to take their traffic too. The only way to really improve this would be to upgrade the A1 south of here to A1(M) as well and shut off the A1081 link, finally allowing a free-flow junction.
Right to reply
Hate this junction? Or do you think it hasn't had a fair trial? Make yourself heard! Post a comment.
These are the most recent comments on this junction. You can see all comments if you prefer.
Taylor would get rid of the underpass:
This junction is just very confusing. Every time I attempt to join the M25 from the A1(M) southbound I get lost. I think instead of making a turn-off on the A1(M), make it come to a stop at the roundabout and reduce the space taken by the roundabout and it may be a bit easier.
Tobye needs more space:
I use this junction at least once a week, and every time there is always chaos of some degree, usually it begins on the A1(M) at J2, with queues even reaching back to the Hatfield Tunnel at times. I dread to think what it's like for the A1 northbound, but then they have an extra lane, which would be incredibly handy on the A1(M)! The clear issue here is that the sliproads, all of them in fact, do not have enough stacking space, with the most popular destinations poorly catered for! The whole gyratory should be 4 lanes, try and get rid of a few traffic lights (or at least upgrade to MOVA/SCOOT, so you don't sit at a red for 60 seconds unnecessarily), maybe even provide left hand filters, especially for the M25 (C-wise) to A1(M) (Nbound), surprisingly this is a very popular route! Investment has been made to the M25 above the junction, but as usual with infrastructure money, it failed to work its way down to where it was needed! We shall have to continue with this shambles I suppose, and continue the battle against confused drivers, and risk taking locals weaving like crazy!
Clive is stuck in traffic:
I travelled South on the A1(M) then onto M25 heading East at peak time this morning and it was appalling. At the turn off there is only one feeder lane which had a huge queue of backed up traffic due to the traffic lights. Whilst it splits into 4 lanes eventually the single feeder lane is plainly inadequate at peak times.
Patrickov has a plan:
Just a wild idea after reading the most recent comment... what about making the service's accesses on the M25 EB and A1(M) SB instead? That would eliminate the need of two services, as well as simplifying the junction. The two carriageways connected to the services would have to take some extra load though...
Ian Sergeant writes:
Your comment about moving the services is probably valid, but this would mean the necessity for two sets of service stations, one on the M25, one on the A1(M). I tend to agree with other posters that the A1081 isn't really a culprit - the London Borough of Barnet needs a way out to the A1(M), and this is by far the best one for the vast majority of its residents. By all means create a slip road on to the A1(M) north of South Mimms with a minor road continuing along the old A6 - but I'm not sure that is cost justified. The benefit to the junction would come from the removal of the services.

Chances are you've already seen our previous piece about Nicolas Winding Refn's newest film, the deliciously lurid Neon Demon. If you haven't, you should go check it out — it's really quite good, if we do say so ourselves. In it, we explored the way that the flick used and subverted gendered expectations of motivation and behavior in order to provide a more nuanced, complex look at the violent impulses that sit at the heart of the director's oeuvre. Here, however, we'll broaden our focus, exploring what exactly it is that Neon Demon has to say about the modern condition and the world we all live in.
On a strictly surface level, Neon Demon is a psychological horror flick that aims to show the dark side of the modeling business, following Elle Fanning's character from seemingly innocent naif to calculating cynic to, eventually, literal food for the system she wished to become a part of. The way that the too-young, too-pretty, too-talented woman is welcomed, manipulated, exploited and, eventually, devoured by those who envy her youth can easily be understood as a not-so-subtle comment on the self-destructive nature of America's fashion industry and its obsession with youth.
For many viewers of the film, their exploration of its themes seems to end there, which, understandably, elicits shrugs and backhanded compliments about how good the film merely looked or felt. But taking that narrow a view of a work as complex as Neon Demon is a terrible mistake, as it glosses over the much larger statement that Refn and his collaborators are trying to make about the nature of commercialized art.
The easiest read of Neon Demon sees the murderous cannibalism of Elle Fanning's fellow models as a metaphor for the way that individuals are thrown into the meat grinder of that particular industry. If that was the case, Neon Demon would be an incredibly shallow work, on par with about a million hacky student films about how art is corrupted by money and how the big city chews up the innocent. That, however, is not the case, as what Neon Demon really does is use modeling itself as a metaphor for all artistic pursuits in the contemporary world.
The first hint at this comes from the very setting of the film. While there's still an ingrained perception that New York City is the center of American and thus, international cultural life, that hasn't been true in decades. Los Angeles, as the home of film and television — mediums which have long ago eclipsed print in terms of cultural cachet — is the center of the pop culture world, albeit one that is, itself, currently in a state of erosion. So, already, the story of Neon Demon should be seen as broader than just modeling.
Indications that there's more going on in Neon Demon run deeper than just the setting, and are all but explicitly laid out in what is one of the film's best scenes: When Elle Fanning stands on a diving board above an empty pool and reveals that she is far more intelligent, cagey, and cynical than she had appeared up until that point. She tells Jena Malone's character that she knows what she looks like and she's fully aware of the power that gives to her — over men and women alike. That scene is so crucial because it forces the viewer to recontextualize everything they thought they knew about Fanning's character.
With that scene, we learn that Fanning wasn't a victim of the system — not yet at least — she was a willing participant in it. At every stage of the film, Fanning used people's perceptions of her, used what people thought they knew about her, to manipulate them and carefully maneuver herself into the place she wanted to be. Suddenly, her transformation from intimidated child in a ponytail and casual clothes, to a glamorous model in a sparkly top and stunning ringlets has to be understood in a different light.
The story of Elle Fanning's character is not one of an unsullied innocent who was corrupted by the world she wished to be part of. It's about that character's decision to insert herself into that world, to become a part of it, to do whatever it takes to remake herself into what that world, what that system prizes, what it values, and what it requires to keep running. She transformed herself into what the system needed, into something that is indispensable, not realizing what it was that she had truly become: Livestock groomed for the slaughter.
Because when the creative pursuits are commercialized, when art is turned into a business, it requires one thing above all else to keep the gears turning: Fresh meat. Whether you're talking about modeling, film, television, prose, poetry, podcasts, or YouTube videos, the business of art is set up to absorb influxes of new talent, to force them to willingly homogenize themselves, to force themselves into a mold of success, just as Elle Fanning's character did, and then, that system, after preparing that new flesh, after sending it through a meat grinder and repackaging it into clear casings like so many links of sausage — the system devours it, using it to propel itself forward and repeat the cycle endlessly, until entropy takes over.
And just like the ancient Biblical god Moloch, the system, the business of art, and the commercialization of creativity, it prefers that the flesh it devour be young. It relishes the appearance of innocence, it savors the perception of authenticity, then it swallows it down and recreates it in an even more homogenized form, just as Elle Fanning's fellow supermodels devoured her and used her blood, her flesh, even her eyes, to better enhance their own youth, beauty, and vitality. The eponymous Neon Demon isn't fame or youth a specific industry or city, it's Moloch, sitting on his haunches, endlessly ravenous, ready to groom his cattle — his willing cattle — to grind them up and feed them to one another as they fight for the privilege.

80 yr old completes 106 rim-rim-rim Grand Canyon trips this year (multi day trips) article here
From the size of his pack I'd say that he'd improve his chances of reaching his stated goal to be still doing that at 90 if joined BPL …. except that I doubt he has time to lurk here. Maybe we could send him a copy of "Lighten Up!" for bedtime reading.

You can listen to a podcast with Laurent Gaudreau on Practical Backpacking. He is sponsored by Golite and seems to know his gear. In the podcast he states that the largest pack he uses is a Gust…but also uses a 4 ounce pack of his design.
I just thought I would point out the podcast and try to save you guys some money! Although he still may enjoy the book.
Happy Holidays.
Last year, as I was going down the South Kaibab Trail, I met Maverick going up. He had done more than 40 rim-to-rims so far that year. I don't recall him having a large pack.
He said his wife works at one of the rim stores, and she doesn't mind his being on the trail as much as he is. I do wonder, though, how it's possible not to be bored when one does the same route dozens of times a year.
It's probably fair to say, though, that, if you showed Maverick a photo of any ten-foot stretch of trail, he could tell you just where it was along the North or South Kaibab Trails.
@jcoltenLocale: MN
thanks for the pointer … interesting interview. Me thinks I need to expand my horizons and watch a few more forums.
Nice to see that he'll be sharing what he knows and even nicer to see a vendor sponsoring an advocate who has a relatively low glamor quotient.

Adaptability is a high priority for me, and as such I prefer not to set many things about myself in stone. I would never restrict my dietary choices due to the loss of potential options, I refuse to limit myself to a gender role dichotomy, and I am completely open to having my personal beliefs challenged and modified.
I have recently started identifying with the general concept of demisexual/demiromantic attraction. Mostly this is relevant on here as a warning that I have to make very deep connections with people, regardless of their gender(which I find irrelevant, anyway), before I can feel romantically or sexually towards them. Therefore, I am looking for friends at this juncture that could eventually lead to something more, but I definitely want to avoid anyone feeling strung along.
I'm really good at cleaning things, but I lack the drive to do routine cleaning, so this only manifests itself in random places and in strange ways.
I've always been very good at taking things apart. I figure that I would be equally as skilled at assembling if I ever had the motivation to do so.

-Interesting weather- particularly thunderstorms
-Variety...I have serious problems with boredom and apathy.
-Also adrenaline, for much the same reasons. I live for adventure.
-Wilderness...I was raised a farm boy and Boy Scout, and being away from trees and fires and natural water makes me edgy.
-Imagination. It keeps me going when times get tough.
I spend a large amount of my time thinking about activities that I would rather be doing than sitting around thinking. Unfortunately, my personal satisfaction in doing activities on my own is the same whether I physically do them or just imagine doing them. It is the added element of participating with other people that makes activities worthwhile.
For people near me, I am always looking for physical activities to participate in, so let me know if you need to round out a volleyball or soccer team, or would like a workout buddy. I'm tired of having to settle for exercising with people I don't like.

Vice President Al Gore plans to announce his choice of a running mate on Tuesday, Aug. 8, campaign aides said today.
The date, five days after the Republican convention in Philadelphia and a week before the Democratic convention in Los Angeles on Aug. 14, will kick off a three-week road show during which Mr. Gore hopes to dominate the news and establish momentum for the fall campaign.
It is somewhat unusual for a presidential candidate to announce in advance when he is going to announce his choice of a running mate. But the Gore campaign hopes to set up a stark contrast with what it perceives as the haphazard atmosphere of Gov. George W. Bush's selection of Dick Cheney. Mr. Gore's campaign spokesman, Chris Lehane, described that atmosphere as ''carnival-like.''
By setting a date for the announcement, Gore aides said they hoped that voters would perceive Mr. Gore as making this decision in a mature, methodical manner -- and, by extension, that they would perceive Mr. Bush as not ready to occupy the Oval Office.Continue reading the main story
Karen P. Hughes, chief spokeswoman for the Bush campaign, criticized the announcement. ''Once again, everything is a political calculation,'' Ms. Hughes said. ''They are more concerned about the political timing of the announcement instead of who the person will be.''
The announcement is scheduled for Nashville, where Mr. Gore's headquarters are. The new ticket will then almost certainly head to the running mate's home state. From there the two will travel through the battleground states, separating at some point. Mr. Gore is not scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles until Wednesday, Aug. 16, two days after the convention opens. Just before then, he will conduct a ''passing of the torch'' ceremony with President Clinton so that Mr. Gore can enter Los Angeles as his own man.
For his part, Mr. Gore said today during a walk on the beach with his family that he had still not settled on a running mate, although he has given strong indications that he is close to a decision. He told reporters earlier that there were fewer than 10 people on his list; the list is believed to be much smaller than that.
Asked if he had made his choice, Mr. Gore said today, ''Not yet, we're just having a good time.'' Aides said he had been swimming and working on a jigsaw puzzle as he and his family began a weeklong vacation at the five-bedroom seaside home of Parker and Becky Overton, the Greenville couple who own a sporting goods business and have been longtime friends of the Gores.
The home is on Figure Eight Island, a guarded, gated community with no commercial development just north of Wrightsville Beach, where outsiders are stopped at a small bridge. Other homeowners include the actors Kim Basinger, Alec Baldwin and Andy Griffith.
Mr. Gore told reporters as he flew here that he was actively ''mulling'' his choice but would probably not reach a final decision until after he returned to Washington on Thursday. The ''mulling'' process itself is meant to contrast with what Gore aides characterize as a frantic scramble for Mr. Bush and an incomplete vetting of Mr. Cheney that left him unprepared for an immediate assault from Democrats on his voting record.
The Gore team says that for the first time in the long preconvention positioning, the Cheney selection has given it an important assist in illustrating Mr. Bush's weaknesses and Mr. Gore's strengths.
Mr. Gore's advisers, while conceding they are generally in the dark as to whom he might pick, have given a couple of clues as to what may be guiding his thinking over the next several days.
As they critique the Cheney choice, they focus on two things. They say that Mr. Cheney is a ''retro'' candidate from the past and that ''the visuals'' -- of an older white man with a history of heart trouble -- hurt Mr. Bush. The suggestion is that Mr. Gore will pick someone young and fresh and that the pictures of the two together will immediately convey a positive sense of vigor and energy. Mr. Gore is almost certainly guided by the instant lift his own selection gave Bill Clinton in 1992.
''You want the first thing people say to be positive and be something you can build on,'' one Gore strategist said. ''That's the problem Bush has been having -- they've been on the defensive the whole week. You want the kickoff to be something powerful that carries you for the first 48 to 72 hours. This issue stuff is hurting Cheney. What's left is the picture.''
Rather than go for a niche candidate who would help with a specific state or a specific group, Mr. Gore is believed to be seeking someone who would reinforce his own strengths in much the way that he reinforced Mr. Clinton's. Both came from the South, the ideological center of the party and the same age group, and they proved that reinforcement rather than balance could be a winning formula.Continue reading the main story

With more rainy weather forecast for early next week, crews from the city's Public Works Department are fanned-out across the city today, cleaning hundreds of storm drains. As Houston Public Radio's Jack Williams reports, it's a proactive way to reduce the risk of flooding and traffic disruption.
For 13-year Public Works veteran Charles Williams, pulling debris out of storm drains is an everyday thing.
"We've seen baseballs, toys, kitchen utensils, sometimes oil filters, bucket tops, hub caps. It's a variety of stuff that's sometimes been discarded, sometimes goes in there accidentally."
Williams and a partner make up one of ten crews that clean drains in Houston, a full-time job that includes lifting heavy manholes and drain covers and then using specialized equipment including a giant vacuum, called a Vac-con to suck up the debris.
"We take a section at a time and we just do that whole section and check all the drains and all the manholes. Sometimes we have to rod it. We rod it with that hose on the front of the truck there. We put a nozzle on and put a tiger tail on it and it pulls itself through with the flow of the water and then we suck it back up with the Vac-con."
So far this year, crews have cleaned over 90,000 storm drains in Houston. They've also handled almost 1700 calls to 3-1-1 from residents requesting maintenance on drains outside their homes. The Public Works Department's Alvin Wright says streets without water and debris also means better traffic flow.
"When the water is not high on the streets, what it does is it allows the traffic to use all of the lanes that are available. When water starts to back up, traffic tends to move to one lane or another causing a back-up. So we want to make sure that we do our part in assuring that the streets themselves are cleared of any debris in regards to allowing storm drains to do what they're supposed to do."
Wright says residents should not allow grass clippings to wash into storm drains. You can see pictures of the drain cleaning operation on our website, KUHF.org.

Hey friend!
So I understand, are you looking for a solid, physically robust hand set or a wall/ intercom IP end point?
When you say the students "crash" the phones are they damaging the software or breaking the phones?

Take a look at the products from these 2 companies - they both have SIP intercoms, some with additional security options

Posted March 21, 2012 on AP on Fox
Thomas Vermaelen scored with an early header Wednesday to give Arsenal a 1-0 win at Everton that moved it up to third place in the Premier League. Vermaelen headed in from Robin van Persie's corner to secure a sixth straight league win and move the Gunners above local rival Tottenham. Everton played well and looked to have equalized in the 31st but Royston Drenthe was ruled offside. Arsenal is a point clear of north London rivals Spurs with nine games left to play and looks good to secure a Champions League berth. Fifth-placed Chelsea is now six points back. After the players emerged from the tunnel wearing T-shirts to show their support for former Arsenal midfielder Fabrice Muamba following his cardiac arrest, it was the visitors who set the early tempo. Having already miscued one decent opportunity in front of goal in the sixth minute, Ramsey won a corner with a blocked shot moments later and from Van Persie's delivery, Vermaelen found the space to nod the Gunners into the le...

Mayor's homecoming gets delayed
The waiting game
Credit: Ted Fitzgerald
Call off the moving trucks — Mayor Thomas M. Menino is not leaving the Parkman House just yet.
The mayor, who on Tuesday said he planned this weekend to check out of the city-owned mansion on Beacon Street and move back to his Hyde Park home for the first time since he fell ill five months ago, said yesterday he has had to delay his return to Readville.
The reason, Menino said, was that contractors renovating bathrooms at his longtime home — the rehab project includes installing grab rails — have not finished their work.

Discuss who is researching a similar element - all ok with Diigo?
1. In groups, come up with a prezi or powerpoint presentation to explain homelessness etc
2. Brainstorm ways your group could help the homeless - raising money etc. Work with Group 5 to make this happen.
3. Use Mozilla Popcorn Maker to create video explaining homelessness in Spain - https://popcorn.webmaker.org/
4. Set up a debate to be recorded. This will be played to class, and class comment via todaysmeet.
5. Find a Spanish homeless charity. Find out what they do and how you can get involved. Contact them and explain the project must be English-based.
Make sure that although they are related, you are not researching the same as anyone else in your group.
How are you going to research this? What different websites will you use?
Think about WHY you are researching this particular thing - how is it going to help your group? Discuss with others.

DmC: Devil May Cry – Xbox 360/PS3 (Xbox 360 version tested) £38.99
In DMC, you play Dante, the son of Sparda, who finds himself hunted by the god
Dante is trapped in Limbo; a plain of existence sandwiched between the real
world and hell, and it's down to our black-haired, sparkly eyed protagonist
to rescue the human race from the brink of extinction.
But to do that, he'll need to face down hordes of demons and freakish
Combat is crucial to DmC, so you'll be relieved to hear Ninja Theory have it
spot-on. With depth and substance invested, both remaining faithful to the
series while adding new, potential favourites, DmC is lively, vicious and
Dante can call upon the powers of his parents, using both Angel and Demonic
weapons. From swinging scythes, to furious fists, each power can be
developed, upgraded and empowered with stronger attacks and better fighting
combinations as Dante earns orbs from his battles.
Even the guns get some variety, with a new needler weapon that fires sticky
projectiles to enemies, then obliterates them.
Of course, it also wouldn't be Devil May Cry without a few punishing boss
battles and DmC understands the importance of both build-up and delivery.
It's always very clear who Dante is scheduled to face, and after hacking
through hordes of henchmen the delivery ends up both intimidating and
exciting in equal measure.
DmC is as good, if not better than any Devil May Cry title before it. With a
hard-hitting story, creative, engaging combat, and overwhelming energy, DmC
is kicking off 2013 in rip-roaring, high-octane fashion.
9 out of 10.

Air pollution control for ventilation air methane industry
Ventilation Air Methane (VAM) is a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) released by coal or mineral mining operations, it is also commonly known as Coal Mine Methane (CMM). The air pollutants from this process have a global warming potential 21 times greater than carbon dioxide, which is another well known GHG. As alternative energy technologies have developed, methane is increasingly used to generate electricity and heat. Landfills and mines represent two of the most abundant sources, however reports indicate that more than 50% of all VAM is exhausted from mine ventilation systems and remains unutilized.

Touring the Islands
... and then went over to meet Captain Nick. He was the same Nick that we met at Tom's Burned Down Cafe (the bartender). He turned out to be a great tour guide. He was really chill and knew a lot of information... And he was cute! There was a guy and his daughter who hopped in the speed boat with us at La Pointe. One other couple was coming, too; we picked them up over at Bayfield. Then we were off! The lake was filled with sailboats. I guess there was some race ...
Cruisin' Around Madeline
... was pretty cold. I hurried up and cleaned myself because there was not enough water to waste on a nice long shower. Then I went back to the camp site and told Mirza to get up so we could go exploring.
The first stop was a coffee shop called Mission Hill at La Pointe (the main area on the island). We ordered breakfast sandwiches and coffee. They had a gift shop and I found the COOLEST mug! It was handmade here in Wisconsin. We sat and enjoyed our breakfast and took ...
That Island Life
... his motorcycles and car, bought a mobile home, and he is now traveling with his girlfriend. How cool is that! It sounds exactly like what I want to do! We hung out for a little bit longer and then headed back to the tent. Now here I am, catching up on my blog (which I can't post until tomorrow because I have no service) while I play Indiana Mosquito Killer and listen to Mirza snore. And now I'm going to pee in the woods, because that's what you do when you camp. Until tomorrow! ...
Lost in Wisconsin
... as long as the GPS was telling her. The GPS had us arriving at about 4:30pm. Now mind you this is only supposed to be a 140 mile trip that might take us about 3 hours. We just got on the road at about 10:15am. I didn't think anything of it… I was just in the driving zone. After we had driven for about four hours, Suzy finally comes to the decision that we were going south instead of east. She asks me ...
Mosquitos superior@Lake Superior!
... Islands are now forested with no inhabitants except for 1, but come with a rich history of survivalists who tried to live thru the grueling 4-5 winter months. Several islands have sandy beaches at 250-500' high where the water level once was millions of years ago. The colorful caves make us wonder about their past. Town of Bayfield reminds us of Port Townsend, WA....fun quirky shops and eateries on the water's ...

The feeling of Deja vu came to me again as I listened to what Ben told us, it was the same as what had happened a year ago... I glanced up at Will and thought about all that had happened to us.
It also seemed that I wasn't the only one with family problems however I didn't offer my back story concerning my parents, I looked over the group and smiled as we all wore the same determined look. It was decided... none of us were going to leave.
After the little 'meeting' we sat around the drawing room for a while, I noticed that Charley left after a while, I saw Zoey drawing something and Marc and Jake arguing with Jade trying to keep the peace. Eoin was reading a book, I walked over to the bookshelf that ran across one of the walls and had look at what books were there. There were all the classics plus some modern day books, I picked up 'Sherlock Holmes' and flipped through some of the pages.
I closed the book and turned back round to see Jade smiling happily, I looked at Will questioningly and he whispered something about a talent show.
"Right, Marc and Jake are together." Jade began. I noticed that neither Marc or Jake looked happy about that, "Let's mix it up, Ellie and Eoin, Eve and Luke, Lucinda and Ben, Charlotte and Zoey and William and Jade… I mean William and me,"
"That is mixing it up, anyone wanna exchange partners?" I smothered a laugh and smiled to myself as Jade said,
"Hardy hardy harr," She looked at the rest of us, "We'll host the talent show tomorrow evening."
I blinked surprised, a show tomorrow...
"William! I have a great idea, we could sing a song!" I giggled as Will pulled a face and followed Jade out of the room. I glanced around and saw everyone else go off and talk to their partners. I walked over to Ben and raised an eyebrow as I noticed the sword he had strapped on his back,
"Uh... Nice sword." He smiled slightly and said,
"So what should we do?"
"To be honest... I haven't really got a talent..." I grimaced,
"What?" Ben asked questioningly,
"Well that wasn't entirely true. I kind of now some magic tricks...." I trailed off and looked at Ben, he was grinning.
"Well I was just thinking that I never thought of you to be hiding magic up your sleeve." I snorted and gave him a look,
"Hey, there's lots you don't know about me." I smirked,
"Anyway how does magic sound then? Or do you have anything better?" I was half hoping he did, but if I was guessing right nearly everyone would be doing something musical.
Well at least I knew Jade and Will were... Now that I thought about it I had never heard Will sing.
I focused back on Ben and spread my hands,
"So, what do you say... partner,"

WHS Proctor Field Public Presentation
The School Committee will be requesting construction funds for a major renovation of the track and Proctor field complex at Town Meeting in May 2017. The Committee will also be requesting funds to replace the carpet on the existing artificial turf field, which has reached the end of its expected life and needs to be replaced. The committee will present and review the design and solicit feedback from the community. A key part of the discussion will be the type of infill materials available for use in the new field and whether to replace the existing infill materials on Field 1. The first presentation was recorded by Weston Media Center and will be available for replay. The second presentation will be held sometime in March.

Downtown Salisbury Street Scenes - Painting the Stand-Pipe
Painting the Stand-Pipe, Salisbury N.C.
The Stand-Pipe, a noticeable land mark in Salisbury for many years, was located on West Fisher Street between Church and Main Streets. A standpipe is a tank or pipe for holding water in an elevated position to create pressure in a water supply system. In taller buildings, where the pressure from the mains at street level is insufficient to raise the water to the upper floors, water is pumped up to the standpipe and fed by gravity into the system. The Standpipe held 237,000 gallons of water and was 20 feet by 184 feet.

A great pumpkin pie should have a creamy, rich texture, a great pumpkin flavor and a good balance of spices to it. It shouldn't be overly dense, heavy or coarsely textured.

Brown Sugar Cardamom Sweet Potato Pie
Sweet potato pie makes a nice change from pumpkin pie when you're looking for a fall dessert to serve at a family dinner or to bring to Thanksgiving. Similar to pumpkin pie, sweet potato pies are made with pureed sweet potatoes and spices that are mixed into a custard with eggs, milk and sugar before baking. Also like pumpkin pie, many sweet potato pies tend ... Read More »

The only thing better than a slice of freshly baked apple pie is having a whole pie all to yourself.

The solution is to bake a half dozen ... Read More »

Buttermilk pie is a favorite of mine around fall and in the winter. The pie is something of a Southern classic, and although I am not from the South, it is definitely a well-liked comfort food dessert to have when the weather starts to cool down. Buttermilk pie is essentially a custard pie made with tangy, buttery buttermilk as the primary dairy component. They're often ... Read More »

Peaches and cream is a great flavor combination, no matter what type of cream you're using. My grandmother was fond of serving peaches and ricotta or cottage cheese with a little sugar on top.

Classic Chocolate Cream Pie
Chocolate cream pie is a pie for chocolate lovers. Most chocolate cream pies have a pudding-like chocolate filling that is made on the stovetop and poured into a prebaked pie crust. The pies are easy to make, but are subject to a huge amount of variation. Some actually are filled with pudding, rendering them very difficult to slice and making the crusts soggy. Some are ...

Cinnamon Apple Pie with Crumb Topping
Classic apple pie is made with two buttery, flaky pie crusts sandwiching a sweet and spicy apple filling. It is delicious, but it's not the only classic apple pie out there. I have met many people who would choose an apple pie with a crumb topping over the double-crust classic any day. Personally, I wouldn't turn down either pie and consider them both to be ...

The Person Stargazer Loves
A place to write everything about someone you love dearly, to show everyone how different and yet completely universal love is.
I fell in love with someone I can't have.
This person is frustrating. Is not particularly beautiful to anyone else, but to me, is the most delicate, strong and beautiful person I have ever met. Is surprisingly amusing, even if sometimes it is at other people's expense. Is sometimes angry, hurtful and sharp. Is kind, thoughtful and creative. Is dedicated. Is loving. Is mad. Is utterly confounding.
The person I love has the bluest eyes. Doesn't dress up much. Worries about weight. Has an odd nose that I adore. Has shaped nails that nearly always stay short. Has feet abused by constant use. Loves green.
The person I love would prefer pets to children. Works all the time, but at something which brings pleasure and joy. Has a limited social life. Is terrible with technology. Never texts back, unless it's important. Hates Facebook.
The person I love is sarcastic. Flies of the handle and moves on minutes later. Turns to other people to make faces or comments about someone else. Gets a heat mark along the neck when stressed or angry.
The person I love makes me laugh. Smile. Dream. Wish. Cry. Is who I look forward to seeing each week. Is the person whose opinion I care about most. Is amazing, talented, intelligent and familiar.
The person I love is flawed, and for those flaws, I love her all the more.

A Talking Dog
Short Story by: George A
Status: Finished
Genre: Humor
A Talking Dog Named RoBy, George A Cawood
I was once known as the guy with the talking dog around my home town. Back then I was truck driving for a scrap metal company, and a female puppy was hanging around the
loading area. Oh, she looked to be a mix of golden retriever and lab, and one day the boss asked me if I wanted to take her home. At first I hesitated and said" no" but she looked up at me and
said" Roooow," so I changed my mind and decided to take her home with me. On the way home she said" roooow" a few times so I figured that was her name and started calling her Ro. When I got home
with her I took her into the house where my dad, who had (COPD,) was in the middle of his breathing treatment. As he looked at me I said this is our new dog you have to watch her till I get back
with supper and left him sitting there with a bewildered look on his face. "Her name is Ro" I said going out the door.
At first I let her stay in the house and, she was good about going outside to do her business, but she started shedding hair real bad so she had to stay outside from then on. Meanwhile, it took my dad a while to warm up to her, but he did and even saved her scraps to eat. It was then I began to train her to talk with food scraps. I would hold the food and ask "what's your name?" she would throw her head back and say" ro" then give her the treat. Sometimes in short parts sometimes longer" Rooooow." We developed a routine of things she could say such as "What is your name?" She would answer with a short." Ro" How do you get across a river? "She would answer with a longer. "Rooow," What do you have with one thing in front of another? She answers with a longer "Roooow, "always throwing her head back when she spoke. Meanwhile my dad thought this was very entertaining and we laughed to no end whenever I would have her talk.
Then one day I got the idea watching, The Little Rascals, on TV to draw a circle around her right eye with a black marker. Amazingly she sat still and let me do it, and it looked very natural too. Later, I taught her to ride in the back of my pickup truck which Ro thoroughly enjoyed even in cold weather. Wherever I went Ro went with me except to work and shopping. When I would stop at the convenience store, I was always showing people how Ro could talk and afterwards people would ask how I got the dog to stay in the pickup and," is that ring around that dog's eye real? "And" Was she born with that ring?" To which I would answer," oh yeah she was born that way." After two weeks or so the marker would wear off and I would draw it around the other eye, the left, and ride around to the store, show people how Ro could talk, and then I would inevitably be asked, "was that dog born like that, with that ring around its eye?" and Wasn't that ring around the other eye? To which I would answer," oh yeah that dog was born like that" and "No, it is the right eye." This was all quite amusing to me and my dad for a long time.
One day I heard a knock at the front door, so I went to see who was there. There were seven people on the front porch three of which were children. By the time I had opened the door the man was introducing himself, his wife, his mom and dad and their three children. He said," we are just here to see the dog." I hesitated for a second and said, "Well I'll have to go find her so come in and I will return shortly, and by the way this is my dad, Clarence." I returned shortly with Ro and had a short conversation about weather and the different people we were both acquainted with and related to. Of course my dad knows every body's family tree in the area and he also knew theirs. Anyhow, I got a hand full of doggy treats and started to show these people how Ro could talk; "What is your name?" She threw her head back and answered, "Ro" "How do you get across the river?" She answered, "Roow" "What do you call it when you line one thing up in front of another?" She answers, "Rooow." Every one wowed and clapped at her performance, and then I noticed the man was standing in front of the vacuum cleaner and got one of those light bulb ideas. "I said OK Ro fetch the vacuum cleaner and start cleaning the house." The man looked around and saw that he was standing in front of the vacuum cleaner and jumped out of the way. At first every one stood in stunned silence then, "OH Boy!" When he realized what had happened we all a big laugh.
Ro has been gone a few years and I have fond memories of she and I together, when she got older she started running off for weeks at a time and never obeying and getting into chicken coop's, and so I gave her to my neighbor Bill, because she seemed to prefer staying at his house, I just guess he had better food than I did. Furthermore, I think she let the star image she had of herself go to her head and she decided to do whatever she pleased, Rest in Peace good dog Ro.
