The county will use the money for the administrative burdens connected with the pro gram, and will try to offset further operating costs placed on the county in light of the city's withdraw! from its share of financing the department Commissioners Jan. 22 approved a sliding scale fee schedule effective Feb. I to defray costs Review of the department's budget, coupled with projected cost recovering revenues, reveals the county could save 88,000 County Judge Fred Clark asked that further negotiations with the city involve whether to divide food handler permit fees before terminating the county's contract with the city. The city has agreed to continue conducting half of the certification classes required of prospective permit holders in return for an even split (rf the 812 permit fee. "That (split) is what the city proposed. We have not agreed to that, we're not willing to do it like that, because we see It would not be a (air division of monies,'' Clark said. "That is an item (or discussion, heated discussion I might add." Commissioners contend that along with the three monthly classes, the health department performs numerous related tasks such as renewals, answering questions over the phone and other administrative duties essentially providing more than half of the duties involved with the program. Only food handlers in New Braunfels are required to hold permit The county does not have a food handlers' permit ordinance Clark said the county, with the implementation of the fee schedule projected to generate $28,000 in cost recovery, hopes to save more than is projected "My point of all this is that I thought Comal County was going to save money, but the way I'm reading this situation is if we save anything, it will be minimal," the judge said it was not our intention to keep our level of expenses status quo '' Reflecting on the commissioner's action Monday. New Braunfels Budget Director Court Thieleman said, "When we had our last meeting. I thought we had an agreement on the 50-50 split. We would like to look at it also and analyze what goes on at the department " Thieleman said the city proposed the continued class assistance because, "The program is an educational vehicle which is closely tied to the enforcement (rf our restaurant codes." County Health Nurse Mary Lou Erben said, 'it's interesting ... all of a sudden this is a city thing and they are wanting 50 percent (rf the revenues that we are trying to generate, saying they need that money, too." Taking the entire funding question a step further. Erben said, "I am going to make one last appeal to the city to budget at least 25 percent of our budget ." Precinct 3 Commissioner Lorenzo "Yankee" Camarillo upheld Erben's call for city support. "I think it is totally unfair that the county should pick up See HS ALTH, Pat# SA Jaycees' 'lockup' Feb 21.

Boeck. drawing on successful crime commissions instituted around the country, urges the community's support in forming what he calls a "volunteer self-help program to help make our city a safer city " The police chief's proposal calls for a blue-ribbon committee made up of prominent leaders in the business. educational, industrial and religious sectors to form a Safe City Commission, which would then organize sub-committees within certain neighborhoods, or geographical regions The subcommittees would hold regular meetings, setting community goals and discussing problems they face in battling crime in their neighborhoods and then report to the SCC The subcommittees. SCC. council and police department would then work together to appreciably decrease such crimes as burglaries and assaults that plague the city See PANEL, Page 2A EU WD directors commit to plans for future water By SARAH DUKE Staff Writer Edwards Underground Water District officials are working out the details of a proposed regional water management plan with represen tatives from San Antonio A New Braunfels representative to the EUWD board said San Antonio representatives are working aggressively toward the completion of the plan "We've made a commitment to provide for a drought contingency plan through legislation." said Craig Hollmig "And we made a commitment to a water conservation plan." Hollmig is a member of a joint committee of EUWD directors and San Antonio City Council members The committee is charged with developing legislation to meet water needs of Central Texas The commit tee met for the second time Thursday and Hollmig said committee members expect to finish their work during a third meeting this Thursday. "This is the first time that the Edward's board has ever sat down with the city council of the city of San Antonio," Hollmig said. "There was definitely a spirit of cooperation." The EUWD is responsible for protecting the waters in the Edwards Aquifer, the main source of w ater for Central Texas The aquifer supplies water to Comal Springs which feeds the Comal River San Antonio is the largest water user in the aquifer region A study sponsored by that city and the water district states that if alternative sources (rf water are not developed, the level of the aquifer will drop and the Comal Springs will go dry by the year 2900. City of San Antonio pumps millions of gallons of water a day into the San Antonio River to maintain a constant flow through the core of the Alamo City 's tourist district "Right now . we want to limit the pumpage to 450.000 acre-feet (per year*. That's where it is now," Hollmig said The New Braunfels surveyor and engineer explained that dunng the worst drought in history, that of the 1950s. the Comal Springs were dry for two years. With increased pumping. Hollmig said that a similar drought today would leave the springs dry for six years "That tells me that New Braunfels needs to come up with a drought contingency plan to protect our tourist industry," he said The plan could consist of a series of small dams upstream of New Braunfels or pumping water out of the Guadalupe River into the Comal River to maintain the tourist industry Hollmig said one of the provisions being considered by the joint committee is to grant the EUWD authority to regulate withdrawals from the aquifer whenever necessary The drought contingency plan could also include limiting personal water use such as washing cars and watering yards "This is just a general idea. we haven't gotten there yet," Hollmig said about the proposed plans "This is so vague This is just in its infancy," he added Hollmig said the committee is working to have proposed legislation in Austin before the end of this Legislative session NBISD board awards Mill Street Ed Center airconditioning bid judge and escorted to their cells by a deputy.

"Basically, we feel like we've got the rest of the district air conditioned where students are and we needed to air condition this part, too," Curtis said.

If you are a parent and you divorce, the parent the child lives with often receives money (child support) from the parent no longer living with the child. Unlike alimony, which is paid to maintain an ex-spouse's lifestyle, child support pays for the child's physical, emotional, and educational needs. A child support lawyer can help parents negotiate and calculate child support, either by agreement or in court. While national guidelines to calculate child support amounts exist, you or the judge may choose to calculate the amount based on your income and the child's needs. If you believe you are not the father of a child and want to contest a child support claim, a child support lawyer can also help you determine paternity. A child support lawyer can be useful during negotiations to help objectively determine the most appropriate amount of child support for your situation and protect against paternity fraud.

Michelle Wine Estates, and actually has two separate teams of winemakers on site producing both Conn Creek wines and those of their sister winery, Villa Mt. Eden. Both winerys' offerings are available to taste at the Conn Creek tasting room.

The tasting room and gift shop is spacious, with its tile floors, oriental rugs, chandeliers and granite-topped tasting bars. There is a large variety of gifts for sale in the tasting room as well.
The winery is known for its Bordeaux-style blends, making rich, food-friendly wines that are still bold and complex. The fruit is sourced from a number of Napa Valley growers, allowing the winemaker to create vineyard-designated wines as well as vineyard blends. Their flagship "Anthology" is a classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and a bit of Petite Verdot.

The star of Shirley Valentine has refused to pay after he twice drove into the charging zone having forgotten to pay the £5 daily toll.
Both times he tried to pay the day after. But Transport for London (TfL) says drivers must pay on the day they enter the zone.
Conti was so outraged by the punitive" rules he refused to pay - and has seen the amounts he owes rise to £314 and £295, including late-payment and administration charges.
Now he has been threatened with the bailiffs, who have warned Conti they intend to seize goods from his Hampstead home to cover the fines.
Today he told the Standard he would not back down, and described TfL's rules as "outrageous".
"In no other walk of life are the consequences so steep just for momentarily forgetting to pay £5," said Conti. "It is out of proportion to any alleged offence and it is so easy to forget on the day. With TfL they have made it as difficult as they can to pay and when you do try to pay they say 'No thanks' and take you to law instead.
"It is pure bullyboy tactics. I have an account with TfL - that makes me a customer. Why are they treating me and other customers like criminals?"
Conti has written to TfL chiefs telling them: "I welcome the arrival of the bailiffs. I'll have the kettle on and the camera running. I am hoping that if enough people challenge their methods it may cause a rethink."
But a TfL spokesman said: "The charge must be paid on the day of entry into the zone as laid out in legislation. Failure to do so could result in the penalty notice of £100 which is discounted to £50 for prompt payment.
"Failure to make payment or a valid representation will result in the penalty escalating, the unpaid debt being registered at County Court, and ultimately bailiff action.
"TfL encourages those who feel they have received a penalty notice unduly to engage with the representation and appeals process and write to TfL as instructed. If they are unhappy with TfL's decision they can take the matter to an independent adjudicator. But if drivers do not engage in the process the penalty will escalate."
The RAC Foundation said TfL was wrong to treat Conti and other drivers like "social pariahs". Spokesman Kevin Delaney said: "TfL fails to recognise the difference between someone who drives into the zone and never intends to pay and someone who temporarily forgets."

(Springate & Stegelin, 1999) Families, Children, and Culture Family culture is the core of our beliefs and interactions with others. Children develop among family, peer group, neighborhood & school. Teachers should consider how culture contributes to their interactions with children and families. Reading the world always precedes reading the word, and reading the word implies continually reading the world. Paulo Freire and Donaldo Macedo Principles for working with culturally diverse families: Become informed about the cultures of the families with whom you work. Become culturally responsive toward family relationships and values. Principles for working with culturally diverse familes Honor the language and literacy backgrounds of families. Incorporate culturally diverse literature and experiences to help link home and school. Become informed about the families with whom you work. Examine your own attitudes and dispositions. Acquire knowledge of child rearing practices, gender roles, common beliefs, holidays, and traditions. Visit homes. Learn about verbal and non-verbal communication. Select appropriate multicultural books and materials. Honor language and literacy backgrounds of all cultures Show honest appreciation of language and speech patterns. Learn about home literacy experiences. Literacy Partnership Cycle Gather Information on Families Basic Family Survey Questions: 1. If recently arrived in the U. S., what is the family's country of origin? 2. In what language do the adult family members prefer to read? 3. What activities does the family do together? 4. What types of reading materials do adult family members enjoy? 5. How comfortable are adults reading to their children? 6. What are their literacy goals for their children?

Teachers can support families with basic child-rearing information and activities that are complementary with home literacy practices. Literacy Portraits Family Literacy Workshops Levels of Family Involvement in Literacy Level Two: Communication Teachers have an obligation to engage in both written and oral communication with families on a regular basis. On-going communication creates a continuing dialogue about literacy practices that flows between home and preschool settings. Newsletters & Calendars Literacy Brochures Traveling Friend Literacy Dialogue Journals Levels of Family Involvement in Literacy Level Three: Volunteering Working caregivers and those who stay at home need opportunities to participate in the literacy lives of their children at daycare and preschool. A variety of experiences and times for involvement will foster family contributions.

"They said they liked my athleticism, that's the main thing," Friekh said. "They liked how I am built. They liked that I am good and not a bad kid or anything like that, and they liked how I'll fit into the offense."
Friekh visited Oregon back on April 27 for their spring game was impressed by the turnout and atmosphere around Autzen Stadium.
"I liked it a lot," Friekh said. "I didn't know there was that many fans that went to each game, even for a spring game. "
Recruiting coordinator Jim Fisher gave Friekh a tour of the facilities and the 6-foot-5, 260-pound tackle got to interact with some of the coaches and had a brief conversation with new Chicago Bear and former Duck, Kyle Long.
"It wasn't for a long time, but he was there and he told me that Coach Greatwood is a good coach and Oregon is a great place to play football," Friekh said.
Friekh named Oregon as one of his top schools, along with Arizona, Washington and Oregon State. He listed several reasons as to why Oregon is an attractive option for him.
"I like how they win. They're probably the best team in the Pac-12 right now," Friekh said. "I like the atmosphere. I like Autzen Stadium and how its always packed, it's always sold out and all of Eugene is behind Oregon football."
With eight offers under his belt, Friekh said he's looking for consistent coaching and good academics in the school he chooses. He plans on studying criminal justice.
"I'm just looking for a good offensive line coach that's committed to the university and not just there until he finds a better job, or the job he wants," Friekh said. "He's there as long as I'm graduated. He's going to develop me into a good player. Plus, I want a good academic school. I don't just want to go play football, I want to learn too."
Friekh said he plans on attending one camp up at the University of Washington, but will wait to take more visits. Though unsure right now of when he will be making a decision, he has a rough time frame of when it could happen.
"I'm probably still going to make a decision in early-August or late-July," Friekh said.

The Nationals are off today, heading to Florida after taking the last two games from the Cubs at Wrigley Field despite scoring a combined six runs on 10 hits in that time. There's been a lot of talk this year about games the Nationals wouldn't have won last year, and these last two wins can safely be added to that pile. As I discussed in the game story, it's pitching and defense that are bringing these games home for the Nats, and that's just a different way of doing things than they've had before. Once they start hitting, they've got a chance to really get on a roll.
On with the awards for Wednesday's game:
Golden Geese
Adam Dunn: His opposite-field homer came at a big moment in the game, putting the Nationals ahead 2-1 while Luis Atilano was still struggling to throw quality strikes. Dunn has homered three times in his last five games, and he's 8-for-24 in that stretch. The Nationals' biggest home run threat is finally becoming a presence in the middle of the lineup.
Brian Bruney: He's been the target of plenty of ire lately, and he got himself into trouble in the seventh inning by giving up a pair of singles. But Bruney kept the Nationals' one-run lead intact by forcing a pair of groundouts to Cristian Guzman at second base, one that went for a double play. He continues to struggle staying over the top of his fastball and getting the leverage to keep it down in the zone, but credit Bruney for pitching out of a jam in his first appearance since walking in the winning run on Monday night.
Luis Atilano: In another example of a player getting the job done without his best stuff, Atilano pitched six innings, giving up two runs on six hits while walking three. He spent too much time nibbling around the corners of the plate, perhaps lacking the unencumbered approach he had in his first start, when he didn't have enough time to think about the task at hand to deviate from being aggressive. But he got back to getting ground balls in the middle innings of his start, including one to end a bases-loaded jam in the fifth inning.
Goose Eggs
Nyjer Morgan: An 0-for-3 day with two strikeouts came at the end of a long hot streak for the center fielder. He'd had two or more hits in four of the Nationals' last five games, but struggled against Ryan Dempster on Wednesday.
Josh Willingham: Willingham went 0-for-4 on Wednesday, part of a 4-for-27 slump that comes after the left fielder had a .327 average and three homers in his first 15 games.
In Case You Missed It:
--Atilano threw first-pitch strikes to just 14 of 28 batters, and five of those were on balls in play. That's not a great recipe for success in the long run, especially when Atilano, like many of the Nationals' pitchers, doesn't have put-away stuff. He'll have to do a better job of getting ahead in the count as batters get more film on him,
--All three Cubs batters in the ninth inning swung at Matt Capps' first pitch, after seven of the last 15 batters he'd faced had done the same thing. It seems like batters are starting to go after Capps earlier in counts, hoping to sting an early fastball rather than waiting for his off-speed pitches. So far, though, it's still working; Capps had a 1-2-3 ninth on Wednesday.
--The Nationals had only one at-bat with a runner in scoring position, when Wil Nieves drove in Roger Bernadina in the second inning. Their other two runs came on homers.
Talking Points:
1. Where does taking two of three at Wrigley Field, and beating Ryan Dempster for the first time, rank among the series wins this year? Is that a bigger accomplishment than beating the Dodgers two out of three, or winning two against the Mets (who are now in first place)?
2. How sustainable is the Nats' pattern of winning low-scoring games? Is this pitching staff, bullpen and defense good enough to keep that up? Obviously, you need the bats to come around at some point, but good teams can win games when they're not hitting. Can the Nats continue to do that, or do you see a fall coming at some point.
3. The Nationals guaranteed themselves their first winning month since Sept. 2007. Considering the schedule they were facing this month, how significant is that? Do you take it as a sign of something more than just a good month?
Leave your answers in the comments section, and we can kick those around for a while. I'll have some minor-league info later today and details on our fan get-together, scheduled for Saturday night during the Nats-Marlins game.

If there is no relationship between the two companies - the only link is that the employee works for both of them - then the employee can make salary deferral contributions up to an aggregate amount of $20,500, with no more than $13,000 to one of the SIMPLE IRAs.
The maximum aggregate contribution for an individual who reaches age 50 by the end of the year is $20,500. SIMPLE IRAs are subject to limitations established under IRC§ 402(g), which limits salary deferral contributions to $15,500 for 2007. Therefore, an individual who participates in multiple retirement plans can defer no more than $15,500 for 2007 (regardless of the number of plans in which he or she participates) plus catch-up contributions of $5,000.
On the other hand, if the two companies are affiliated or related in any way - if there is any one party that has ownership of both companies, whether in part or 100% ownership - or if there is any relationship that would constitute an affiliated service group, then the maximum amount that the individual can defer to both SIMPLEs may be limited to $13,000.

The present invention relates generally to accessories for gas-fired grills and more particularly to an accessory for a gas-fired grill which provides a supplemental cooking section.
Conventional gas-fired grills consist of a housing base containing a gas burner positioned beneath a fire grate which supports briquettes such as lava rocks. A cooking grid on which food to be grilled is suspended above the briquettes, and heat from the burning gas is transferred to the briquettes which provides radiant heat for cooking food on the grid. Cooking methods which require heating foods in a container, such as a pot or pan, cannot practically be carried out using a conventional grill because efficient use of these methods require that the gas flame be close to or in contact with the pot or pan.
Attempts have been made in the prior art to provide cooking apparatus which combines the features of grills and conventional cookers. See for example, the following U.S. Patents:
U.S. Pat. No. 4,681,083 to Shu which describes a portable device for cooking, roasting and barbecuing;
U.S. Pat. No. 3,802,413 to Pepin which describes a combination of a barbecue grill and a cooking stove;
U.S. Pat. No. 4,524,751 to Hoglund which describes a portable camp stove having a grill section and a gas burner section;
U.S. Pat. No. 4,587,948 to Haglund which describes two cooking sections which are hinged together; and,
U.S. Pat. No. 4,446,846 to Hahn which describes a table top grill containing 2 sets of firegrate modules, one for a grilling operation and the other for a pot or pan cooking operation.
While these prior art grills do provide means for simultaneously carrying out both a grilling operation and a pot or pan cooking operation, an improved arrangement for attaching an auxiliary burner to a gas-fired grill is desirable.
A principal object of the invention is to provide an auxiliary burner apparatus for use with a gas-fired grill.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a side cooker apparatus for a gas-fired grill which has a source of gaseous fuel and a housing having a front wall opposite to a rear wall and two opposing sidewalls defining a compartment for a main gas burner. The side cooker apparatus comprises a pair of substantially parallel bars, each of which has a holding portion and a projecting portion; an auxiliary gas burner supported between the holding portions of these bars; and, a pair of channel members fixedly mounted on the housing and each extending along a corresponding one of the opposing front and rear walls of the housing. The channel members are dimensioned and arranged for slidably receiving the projecting portions of the parallel bars so that the auxiliary gas burner is detachably mounted on the gas fired grill in a cantilevered position to one side of the housing. Conduit means is provided to transfer fluid fuel between the source of fuel and the auxiliary burner.
The side cooker apparatus provided in accordance with this invention is especially adapted for use with gas-fired grills already on the market. For example, it is particularly well-suited for use with a variety of gas-fired grills manufactured by Ducane Industries, Inc.
The invention is further described in the detailed description below taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a gas-fired grill unit which includes one embodiment of the side cooker apparatus of the present invention.

The embodiment of the side cooker shown in the drawings and described herein in detail is a preferred embodiment of the invention. Since this invention is capable of use in many different forms, it is understood that the detailed description herein is not intended to limit the invention to the embodiment illustrated.
As shown in FIG. 1 of the drawings, side cooker 80 according to the present invention is secured to a grill 10 by means described hereinafter. The grill 10, as shown and described, is of the type manufactured and marketed by Ducane Industries, Inc., of Columbia, South Carolina, and includes a work counter 32, and a cutting board component 44 (preferably made of wood). A main firebox 14 (FIG. 6) is provided with a rim 40 which abuts against a rim 42 of a hood 12. The firebox 14 is enclosed in a grill cabinet 11 comprising a front wall panel 20, a rear panel 22 and a panel at each end, only end panel 24 being shown. A main gas burner 16 and a cooking grid 18 are mounted in a cooking chamber 15 between firebox 14 and hood 12. A rotisserie 13 is mounted above grid 18 and is driven by an electric motor 38.
A fuel tank 58 is mounted in a compartment 57 behind a front door 56. A rear door (not shown) having a slot or aperture for a gas line 62 also may be provided at the rear of compartment 57. Fuel is transferred between fuel tank 58 and main burner 16 through a main valve 64, a pressure reducer 66, a conduit 60 and any one or more of valves 50a, 50b and 50c, which are mounted behind a front wall panel 20 which is positioned above a pair of doors 52, 54.
The firebox 14 and hood 12 are supported on a pair of parallel channels 46, 48, which form a pair of handles 47, 49, one of which is seen in FIG. 6, and extend from adjacent work counter 32 to the outer side edge of cutting board component 44. A plurality of bolts 116, one of which is seen in FIG. 6, secures channel 46 to base 14 and front wall panel 20 is secured to channel 46 by a plurality of screws 118 which pass through a panel flange 21. A rod 120 is secured, as by welding, to firebox 14 and/or to channel 46 to prevent the channel from distorting as a result of the forces exerted by bolt 116. The top of channel 46 also may be welded to overlapping rim 40. A similar arrangement secures rear wall panel 22 and the rear wall of firebox 14 to rear channel 48.
Work counter 32, which is positioned between handles 47, 49, is held in a working position by a support 34, and is attached to the side of the grill cabinet by hinges (not shown) to permit folding the work counter 32 into a vertical position, thus permitting convenient access to handles 47 and 49 for moving th grill.
The entire assembly is supported by four legs 26, one at each corner, which are provided at their lower ends with casters 30 at the side of the grill near the handles 47, 49, and wheels 28 at the side near the fuel tank 58.
The grill assembly shown in FIG. 3 is similar to that shown in FIG. 1, the principal differences being the elimination of the cutting board component 44, and the positioning of the fuel tank in the space behind the front wall panel 20' and doors 52', 54' of cabinet 11'.
As shown in FIGS. 4, 7 and 8, the side cooker apparatus 80 includes a box-like structure defined by a front wall 86, a back wall 88, an end wall 90, a bottom wall 97 and a top wall 92. The top wall 92 is provided with an aperture in which an auxiliary gas burner 94 and a utensil support 96 are mounted. Fuel is transferred between fuel tank 58 and auxiliary gas burner 94 through main valve 64, a second pressure reducer 68, a second gas line 62 and a control valve 95 mounted behind front wall 86. The burner is lit by an igniter 106 which dischargers a spark to burner 94 when activated by pushing a button 108 which is also mounted in front wall 86.
A gas burner cover 98 is pivotally mounted on top wall 92 by a hinge 100. The side cooker 80 is detachably mounted on grill 10 by a pair of parallel bars 82, 84 which have projecting portions 82a, 84a and holding portions 82b and 84b, respectively. Bars 82 and 84 are spaced transversely apart and are sized to fit within the front channel 46 and the rear channel 48, respectively, of the grill. In the preferred embodiment shown, these bars have an I-shape cross-section, which provides an outer recess 110, an inner recess 112 and a lower recess 114 (see FIGS. 5 and 6). The recesses 110, 112 and 114 may be made by cutting corresponding slots in rectangular bar stock so as to form a head portion 111 and a foot portion 113 connected respectively by a central rib 115 as shown in FIG. 5. These respective recesses are provided to enable each bar to be inserted within its corresponding channel and slide past the heads of bolts 116 and the threaded tips of screws 118, since each of these elongated fastening elements extends past the inner surfaces of channels 46, 48. A handle 101 secured to the outer side edge of side cooker 80 provides a hand grip for implementing such sliding movement when attaching or detaching the side cooker.
The length of the projecting portions 82a, 84a must extend into the corresponding channels for a distance sufficient to support the entire weight of the cantilevered portion of the side cooker apparatus. Accordingly, these portions preferably extend for at least one-third of the length of the channels into which they fit. More preferably, these projecting portions extend more than one-half and may extend the entire length of channels 46, 48. The bars are preferably long enough so that the side cooker is firmly anchored in place. For example, in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, the bars preferably extend all the way past the intermediate cutting board component and into the channel portions adjacent to the firebox 14, as shown in these FIGURES.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIG. 8, the holding portions 82b, 84b are secured to the frame of the side cooker by means providing for their lateral adjustment so as to enable use of the side cooker with grills having different lateral spacings between channels 46 and 48. As shown in FIG. 8, bolt 104 passes through bar 82b and an elongated spacer member 93 and is secured to an inner frame wall 89 by a nut 105. The plurality of spacer members 93, as shown in FIG. 7, provides means for changing the distances between bars 82 and 84 by using spacers 93 of different lengths. Spacers 93 are preferably made as elongated hollow pins. However, these pins may be replaced by one or more rectangular blocks extending parallel to a corresponding bar and having a plurality of bores for bolts 104.
As shown in FIG. 7, the side cooker also may provide support on projecting portions 82a, 84a for an auxiliary work counter 44a. As shown, work counter 44a is supported by four stepped brackets 122, each of which has a lower horizontal arm extending beneath auxiliary work counter 44a and an upper horizontal arm for resting on bar portions 82a, 84a. The counter 44a may be made of wood to provide a cutting board-like component 44, and is especially useful for grills of the type shown in FIG. 3.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the side cooker is provided with a safety barrier to retain pots or other cooking vessels in place and keep them from sliding off the burner or being accidentally knocked over. One embodiment of the safety barrier, as shown in FIGS. 4, 9 and 10, consists of a plurality of spaced-apart, substantially horizontal coaxial wire rings 130, 132, supported above the burner element 94 by a plurality of vertically extending legs 134 which are secured to wire rings 130, 132 as by welding. The lower portions 134a of each leg 134 passes through an axial passage in a grommet 136 which is positioned in an aperture 92a in the top surface 92 of the side cooker. In a preferred embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, grommet 136 consists of cylindrical sidewall 136b, head 136a integral with body 136b, and at least two resilient fingers 136c projecting radially outward from sidewall 136b. Fingers 136c are forced inwardly when grommet 136 is inserted in aperture 92a and then snap out. Grommets which are thus locked in place can only be removed by pressing fingers 136c inwardly until they clear opening 92a. In this embodiment, the safety ring is readily removed from the side cooker.
The spacing between rings 130, 132, and the height of upper ring 130 above top surface 92 are not critical; however, upper ring 130 is preferably positioned low enough so that it does not obstruct handles on cooking vessels, and may suitably extend from less than about 3 inches to over 6 inches above the cooking surface.
The safety barrier may be made in other configurations such as, for example, a cylindrical band, one embodiment of which is shown in FIGS. 12 and 13. In this embodiment, the safety barrier comprises cylindrical wall 137 having outer surface 138 and a plurality of perforations 140. A plurality of circumferentially-spaced right angle members 146, each having a vertical leg 146b and a horizontal leg 146a are secured, as by welding, to the lower outer surface 138 of wall 137. The safety barrier is secured to the top wall 92 by a plurality of safety elements 152, each of which passes through an aperture in a horizontal leg 146a of a right angle member 146, and co-acts with a grommet 151 to hold the safety barrier in place. As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, grommet 151 consists of upper disk 151a, cylindrical shell 151b and fingers 151c. When fastening element 152 is inserted into grommet 151, the bulbous portion 152c at the lower end of shank 152b engages groove 151d which is formed on the inner surface of fingers 151 c. This embodiment of a fastener element and grommet to hold the safety barrier in place may be configured to prevent separation of the fastening element from the grommet and thus ensure that the safety barrier remains in place. For example, mating horizontal surfaces on the top of the bulbous portion 152c and upper edge of groove 151d in grommet 151 will restrict upward movement of fastener means 152.
The safety barrier is preferably made of a metal such as aluminum or stainless steel which is corrosion-resistant. The grommets are preferably made of a heat-resistant, non-metallic material such as a synthetic resin.
The safety barrier may be made in a variety of sizes and configurations including rectangular shapes, and may cover an area significantly greater than that of the burner opening in order to retain relatively large pots and pans in place over the burner.
It is obvious that the side cooker of this invention may be used with a variety of grills, the only requirement being that the frame of the grill be provided with a pair of channels to permit insertion therein of projecting portions of the bars supporting the side cooker.
The invention will now be more specifically described by the claims which follow.

Home: The Longfellow House & the Emergence of Portland
The Wadsworth-Longfellow house is the oldest building on the Portland peninsula, the first historic site in Maine, a National Historic Landmark, home to three generations of Wadsworth and Longfellow family members -- including the boyhood home of the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The history of the house and its inhabitants provide a unique view of the growth and changes of Portland -- as well as of the immediate surroundings of the home.
Throughout New England, barns attached to houses are fairly common. Why were the buildings connected? What did farmers or families gain by doing this? The phenomenon was captured in the words of a children's song, "Big house, little house, back house, barn," (Thomas C. Hubka Big House, Little House, Back House, Barn, the Connected Farm Buildings of New England, University Press of New England, 1984.)
The Swinging Bridge: Walking Across the Androscoggin
Built in 1892 to entice workers at the Cabot Manufacturing Corporation in Brunswick to move to newly built housing in Topsham, the Androscoggin Pedestrian "Swinging" Bridge or Le Petit Pont quickly became important to many people traveling between the two communities.

Home: The Wadsworth-Longfellow House and Portland
When Peleg Wadsworth built his house in 1785, what is now Congress Street in Portland was on the rural outskirts of the community known as Falmouth. The house passed on to other family members and Portland changed around what remained a family home until 1901, when it became a historic house museum.
The history of a small, but vibrant, Downeast village as told by an array of local institutions and organizations. Site contributors include Blue Hill Historical Society, Blue Hill Public Library, Blue Hill Consolidated School, George Stevens Academy, the Bay School, and the Jonathan Fisher House. Some of the topics covered include the arts, Jonathan Fisher, the Blue Hill Fair, Rusticators, the Civil War, education, and shipbuilding.

Rogue Wireless Device
Definition - What does Rogue Wireless Device mean?
Techopedia explains Rogue Wireless Device
Access point (AP)-based rogue devices are wireless access points (WAP) installed in a network without authorization. These routers may be installed by an employee for work purposes, or by a hacker for the collection of private records. In most cases, the use of such devices conflicts with network security policies, and the devices are not managed by the network administrator (NA). Additionally, rogue APs may allow other unauthorized end user devices to connect to the network and consume network bandwidth.
Computer-based rogue threats, or rogue peers, are end user computers that are connected to a network without permission. These devices are usually laptops and netbooks that can serve as APs. Rogue peers pose more risks than rogue APs, given that laptops have little to no security features. This can allow other unauthorized devices to connect to the device and network.
Rogue wireless device threats can be prevented by using strict network security policies. All APs and end user computers should be mapped in the network, allowing easy detection of new devices. Rogue wireless devices are easily detectable but difficult to eliminate.

Monday is upon us again! For me, it is kind of a quiet one, since I had a fabulous weekend participating in Artists in Buffalo Holiday Open House, with my quilts!
It was three days of talking about quilts, art, stitching, how it is done, why I like it and all that and yes - even selling a few of my creations! Can one ask for anything more? :)
Artists in Buffalo is a great organization that I belong to, and Holiday Open House is a large event and growing every year. It has multiple locations and I am among very lucky ones to be in the home of Chatham Pottery Studio , a beautiful stone mansion.
So here is how my display looked like:
Next to me was my friend Janet Ide with her new creative endeavor - all things hand-made for baby, with focus on cloth diapers! Yes, you read right - cloth diapers! They are coming back for so many reasons but in a new, 21st century edition - these are not your grandma's cloth diapers! They are all-in-one, easy to use, comfortable for the baby and new parent's budget too - not to mention planet! Just look how cute:
Artisan Garden where you can see more and even order some!
Molly Flynn's jewelry and journals:
Anne Keating scarves and photography:
And beautiful watercolor creations - on paper and fabric! -by Mary Flynn of Back of the Moon Watercolors
I wish I took more photos but it was quite a busy time too! What I loved the most was how interested people were in quilts, how they are made, how they can be used for many things and not just as bed covers. Many young women interested and intrigued too - yay!
All in all, it was a very inspiring weekend! Hope you enjoyed these few photos of it. :)
Now on to holidays in earnest - planning for presents, more gatherings with friends, cards and other fun stuff!
wishing you a lovely week ahead,

I bought a reusable stainless steel water bottle. Now I'm wondering what the best way to clean my bottle is to make it last as long as possible?
Purchasing a BPA-free stainless steel bottle isn't a small investment, but the great news is that there's a safe, easy way to clean your bottle that will make it last longer.
Most of the stainless steel bottles offered at The Soft Landing are dishwasher safe, but many manufacturers recommend hand-washing for greater longevity. I know – it sounds like a pain, but you can use ingredients you already have in your kitchen for pennies per cleaning!
General cleaning for the bottle interior
- Gather the following supplies: bottle brush (I use a baby bottle brush), vinegar, baking soda, water
- Pour 1 – 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 1 tablespoon of baking soda into the bottle
- Use the bottle brush to swirl the vinegar/baking soda, then scrub the inside of the bottle
- Add water to the mix until about half-way full, screw the cap on and shake
- Pour out the contents and rinse thoroughly with cold water
Cleaning the lid and/or spout
- Scrub the cap with the vinegar and water
- Rinse well with clean water
- With more complicated caps (such as one with a valve or sport cap) you may need to soak it in enough vinegar and baking soda and water for a while (you can even use the mixture you just finished using for the bottle cleaning)
Additional Tips
- If you need a little extra abrasion, use a little more baking soda
- If you're cleaning a bottle with logos/graphics on the outside, you probably won't want to scrub it, but rather wipe clean with vinegar water mix
- Vinegar is an amazingly powerful chemical-free cleaner and sanitizer: it kills bacteria, germs, mildew and mold (my favorite vinegar cleaning resource is Vinegar Tips)
- I soak my new water bottles in water and vinegar overnight, as it helps get reduce the chances of a metallic taste during the first use
- Vinegar breaks up dirt and grease, leaving a nice shine
If you're inclined to extend the life of your bottle, hand-washing is best. But if life's just too hectic, the dishwasher will be fine for most bottles.
>> Ask TSL: Send us your burning questions about toxic materials or eating gear and we'll do our best to answer them!
P.S. Need to remove heat stains from your stainless steel cookware and cutlery? Try cleaning surfaces by scrubbing with vinegar and salt. Mix 2oz vinegar with 2 tablespoons of salt and scrub the stained area. Rinse well with clean water and repeat. It may not be perfect but if you keep working at it extreme discolorations will begin to lessen.

This is Dave the caretaker for Casa Amore in Santa Teresa, CR. We look forward to your visit. Here is a little travel info for you....
The drive from San Jose to Santa Teresa will be around 4 to 6 hours. You have to drive to Puntarenas, which is where you will have to take a ferry. The best thing is to ask you car rental company on the best way to get to puntarenas, depending on where you are in San Jose. You have to catch a ferry that leaves from Puntarenas port to Paquera port. The ferry is called ferry Tambor. You can check their schedule at http://www.navieratambor.com/horarios-y-tarifas if you want to guarantee a spot in a ferry you cannot make a reservation, you just have to show up and get in line early…about 1 hour early. The drive from San Jose to the ferry is about 1.5 to 2 hours.
Once you get to Paquera all you have to do is follow all the other cars, It is about 1 hour and 20 minutes drive….you just drive in a straight line thru Cobano , once thru Cobano there will be a left turn towards Mal Pais, Santa Teresa. Follow the road to the famous "malpais and santa teresa" crossroad (you will notice the only shopping center that we have) you must take a right towards Santa Teresa and drive for about 2 km, past the 2 small bridges we are on the left (beach side) in front of Casa las Gemelas, if you pass the soccer field, you have gone to far. Check in is at 3pm and check out at 11am.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you need anything further. We are looking forward to having you here.

Individually, most car companies have effective PR, but when it comes to representing the motor industry as a whole there is a notorious level of incompetence. Past PR "coups" include hiring Coventry Cathedral to commemorate the centenary of the car. But the excuses that the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (apologists and publicists for the car industry) and Rover, whose incompetent 100 supermini was castigated in the crash tests, trotted out this week plumbed new depths of disinformation. They whinged that the crash tests were done at too high speed - at 40mph, whereas new official crash tests will be done at 35mph. They whinged that the crash tests performed in the study were unrepresentative. And one SMMT "publicist" even maintained that, if car front ends were designed to be safe in 40mph shunts, they would be so tough that they would endanger life in nose-to-tail shunts, because the tails of cars would cave in. By this logic, all cars should be made out of papier mache.
In fact, this week's crash tests on the Rover 100, Ford Fiesta, VW Polo, Vauxhall Corsa, Renault Clio, Fiat Punto and Nissan Micra were not all bad news for the car makers. They showed that the newer cars - the Polo and the Fiesta - fared best. Ergo, cars are getting safer. John Bowis, minister responsible for road safety, said as much at the press announcement.
The Rover 100, an old Metro with extra chrome-work on the outside and wood on the inside, is almost 17 years old. It was designed well before car makers used computers properly to optimise strength, and as such will fold worse in a smash than newer, more advanced cars, such as the latest Fiesta or new Polo. This finding will surprise nobody, least of all Rover.
The 100 is still on sale purely because Rover has not had the resources to replace it, and no amount of glamorous Rover PR bumf (limited-edition Rover Kensingtons and Rover Knightsbridges, complete with trendy girl- about-town Sloaney owner etc) should kid you otherwise. Although it was not tested, it is a fair bet that the Mini, which is even older than the Metro, would have done even worse. The Rover 100 is an old, inadequate car that should have died years ago. These latest safety findings will , it is hoped, speed the death process a little. (The Mini is at least fun, even if I wouldn't want to crash in one.)
The Metro was the smallest car tested. I remember, a few years back, asking the safety chief of a big car maker which was the safest model of all, expecting him to proffer the names Mercedes and Volvo, whose reputations in this field are brightest. Instead, he simply answered: "The biggest. You can't overcome the law of physics. A two-ton car will always do better in a crash than a one-ton car."
Air-bags, side intrusion bars, crumple zones, seat belts etc all do their bit, and are part of the reason why cars are getting safer and why fewer motorists die every year. But, sometimes, they are fitted as much for marketing reasons - to imply safety and help to sell more cars - as for genuine safety reasons. The safest cars are not necessarily those with the most safety add-ons, as the ads imply.
So what are the safest cars? Disgracefully, nobody is really sure. But the new tests, launched this week, will help us to find out.

Our superbot is a friendly little guy. Add him to your team and message him straight away to setup our bot tools and start working with emojiflows. You can also add the Stacktodo channel to your team to get help, support and find out the latest news on bot releases. Here's what to do....
When logged into your team, first click on 'Invite People' in Slack and select 'Full Members' from the list. Next, enter the following email into the text box: email@example.com (there's no need to enter a First Name or Last Name). Then click on the 'Invite 1 Person' green submit button. You only need to do this once.
Stacktodo is now a member of your team so now you can start using all the bot tools. Begin by going to Stacktodo under 'Direct Messages' and have a little chat. He's not very clever and likes simple sentences, so try typing "help" or "commands". See a list of all our superbot commands.
If you want to get in touch with Stacktodo support, chat to other users and be the first to try out new bot releases then why not add our channel to your existing team. In a new channel, just give Stackbot the command '@stacktodo link join stacktodo_team' and he will link us up. Our channel will then be linked with yours. Help videos.
