Church crisis
Re A Papacy Stained By The Spectre Of Abuse (Feb. 12): Dennis Doyle, a U.S. Catholic scholar, tries to excuse Pope Benedict's pitifully inadequate response to the scandal of priestly abuse of children by saying that the Catholic Church is "a vast, unwieldy institution beyond the reins of anyone's control." What Benedict needed was the sign that sat on Harry Truman's desk in the Oval Office: The Buck Stops Here.
David Brewer, Puslinch, Ont.
Re Five Challenges The New Pope Will Inherit (Feb. 12): I suggest that, for Lent (which starts on Wednesday), the Catholic Church should give up focusing its energy on what people do in the bedroom. As a Catholic, I pray that the church and the new pontiff will put these "issues" aside and work on Christ's essential teachings: the pursuit of social justice, the elimination of poverty and a sustained effort to love one another without judgment.

Mental health crisis
I want to thank Margaret Wente for talking the real talk (Mentally Ill Have A Right To Be Well – Feb. 12). As she says, it's heartbreaking and devastating for a family who has someone who can't recognize their illness.
The life of my brother, in his 40s, began unravelling into a paranoid and distorted world. He lost his business, his home and every single person whom he formerly loved and who loved him. There's no way to help him. Sickening. Frightening. Dangerous.
While the Bell ads are a step in the right direction, it feels like a romantic version of mental illness. Thank you, Ms. Wente, for your eloquence.
Susan Linds, Toronto
Kudos to Margaret Wente for highlighting the lack of resources available to people who suffer from mental illness and their right to be treated. But the Supreme Court of Canada has recognized a competing right: that of a capable person to consent to or refuse treatment.
In Ontario, these rights are balanced by examining not what's in a person's best interests but whether the person's capable of making such decisions. If a person is capable of doing so, he or she can choose whether or not to receive treatment; otherwise, a doctor will seek consent from a substitute decision-maker.
The province's Consent and Capacity Board reviews doctors' assessments of patients' capacity every day, giving effect to the right of incapable individuals to be treated and the right of capable ones to make their own decisions respecting treatment.
Lonny J. Rosen, specialist in health law, Toronto
Your editorial The Vince Li Problem (Feb. 12) did little to dispel the misinformation about those found "not criminally responsible," review boards and the process to ensure public safety. It's important to understand that people with mental illness constitute a very small minority of those who commit crimes.
In Ontario, only 0.001 per cent of individuals charged with Criminal Code violations are found "not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder." The recidivism rates for individuals found NCR ranges from 2.5 per cent to 7.5 per cent – far lower than that for federal offenders in the regular system, of whom 41 per cent to 44 per cent reoffend.
While the system for managing people found NCR is very effective, improved public safety and increased sensitivity toward victims and their families, the stated intent of the reform, are laudable goals. But we must remain vigilant to ensure a balance between community safety, victim needs and the recovery of those with mental illness involved with the law so they may productively re-enter the community.

Cheaper gas? Not
Ryerson University's Phil Walsh implies that Eastern Canadians will have cheaper gasoline if a West-East oil pipeline is built (Pipelines: Let's Get That Oil Flowing East – online, Feb. 12). But he fails to mention that oil trades in a global market. Every drop of Alberta crude going through such a pipeline would sell at the global price. Yes, there will be economic benefits of a West-East pipeline. Cheap gas won't be one of them. But Alberta oil patch revenues will be.

Second thoughts
Re Time To Change Senate's Club Culture (Feb. 11): Never mind the voices expounding the many-splendoured virtues of "reforming" Canada's final resting place for politically deserving friends of the government.
On "sober second thought," let's leave well enough alone. Ater all, where would we be without being able to bestow consolation prizes on one's failed election candidates by appointing them to Canada's graveyard of government patronage.
Pity the U.S. Senate, where you actually have to win an election to get in. In Canada, all you have to do is lose one!
E.W. Bopp, Tsawwassen, B.C.
Royal thoughts
Eric Mendelsohn's suggestion that the Queen should follow the Pope's example and abdicate comes too early (Pope: I Quit – letter, Feb. 12). If the Queen lives as long as her mother, Charles could be 80 before he becomes king. So he should follow the Pope's example. That way, they'll get William for king and won't have to face Queen Camilla.
Nigel Brachi, Edmonton
Wedding march
Don't worry, Franco Cignelli (A Disgruntled Wedding Guest – Facts & Arguments, Feb. 12)! Since you no longer have any friends, you won't have to attend any more weddings. And for your own wedding (lucky girl!), good luck finding those 10 close friends you plan to invite.
Paula McPherson, St. Catharines
Off with the head
We can always rely on The Globe for interesting sidelights on history. In For Those Who Adore Le Chocolat (Life & Arts, Feb. 12), you report that the chocolatier Debauve & Gallais was founded in 1800 when Sulpice Debauve created chocolate discs for Marie Antoinette to mask the taste of her medicine. She would've needed more than discs to aid her health, since she lost her head seven years earlier.

Send us your catch! E-mail your fish photo to Lowcountry Fish!
The month of October to local surf fisherman is often referred to as red October, and for good reason. The big bull Redfish have been showing up in good numbers off the front beaches the past week, chomping on cut mullet and half of a blue crab. The trout bite has begun to heat up as water temps begin to drop into the low 70′s, even producing some solid catch numbers from anglers "trolling for trout" with 4″ paddle tail grubs along grass edges around high tide. DOA shrimp fished under a popping float have also been deadly on trout recently for those more into casting to shell banks and creek mouths. Inshore reds have begun to transition a little bit into larger schools now, and can be found on the shallow low tide flats ready to inhale a new Savage Shrimp or Zman PogyZ. Flounder have still been hanging around rock piles and structure in 4-12ft of water, and while live mud minnows are always hard to beat for an ole flatfish, do not overlook throwing a 5″ jerkshad rigged on a 1/4oz jighead.
When the weather has allowed, the offshore trolling reports have consisted of great numbers of blackfin tuna in 150-200′ of water as well as some mid-sized wahoo hanging in the same depths along the ledge. The sailfish bite has picked up a bit in the past week, with fisherman getting 2-8shots a day in 250-450′ of water. Bottom fishing reports continue to produce some really large triggerfish in 80-110ft of water, plenty of vermillions, and still some nice grouper along live bottom areas in 70-130′ of water using live baits and butterfly style jigs.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/6/2014 (1126 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Goldeyes and the Trois-Rivieres Aigles each took home a win tonight after partaking in a pseudo double header due to a suspended game on Tuesday.
The Goldeyes took the win in the first game, defeating the Aigles 5-3. During the Tuesday afternoon portion of the game, the Goldeyes took an early lead taking three in the third. The Aigles scored two of their own in the bottom of the third, but the Goldeyes jumped ahead again with two more runs in the fourth before the game was suspended due to rain.
Picking things up at the top of the fifth on Wednesday, Trois-Rivieres only picked up one more run, which was not enough to overtake the Fish.
In the evening game, which was modified to seven innings, the Goldeyes were first to score again, but the Aigles managed to tie things up at the bottom of the fourth.
A run by Sasha LaGarde broke the tie in the bottom of the seventh and the Aigles went on to win 2-1.
Winnipeg and Trois-Rivieres will wrap up their four-game series on Thursday.

Oh dear.
Tell me, when have Harriers operating from land bases used VL? Since when has it been necessary to use VL for operating from austere bases? You strongly implied that it was not possible for F-35B to operate from austere land bases because it couldn't land vertically at them. Now you're using different arguments, none of which disqualify F-35B from austere land basing.
Note that other fast jets, which have no possibility of performing a vertical landing, routinely operate from single runway bases.

2005 Hyperlite State 145
Mike Ferraro and his test team created a new series of boards that you don't have to learn to ride. It's shape allows you to ride in a comfortable position and the design of the board does the work for you. A board that stands up higher on a toeside rail, and sets a harder edge on a heelside rail.

I liked this board's asymmetric shape because it just made sense to me. The difference though is subtle enough that it's hard to tell if it's really having a huge impact. That being said, it holds just fine with the stock A-fins, but for me it landed a bit like a bar of soap, just smacked pretty hard and stayed loose unless you land with a really hard edge out. The 145 is good for me size wise and kicks you hard off the wake because of it. However it doesn't seem to be getting much more height for me, just more explosive feeling. The board was great for me for 2 years until I tore the threads through the fiberglass while bailing on a backroll. All in all it was a solid board, but I think it could be better...still, 4 out of 5.

I am terrible at wakeboarding and this board has made me feel hope for the future. I rode an older obrien and felt like elton john thumbing through a hustler. lost. this board slides easy without feeling too loose and doesnt feel like its going to pick an edge the whole time. I also cased the wake several times and I have to say that I was impressed with the landings. other boards have buckeled my knees in the same scenario.

i did my reserch on differant boards before purchasing this one. i read reviews and asked a couple of mates at the club i,m at, they all said good thinks about this board.
i'm a total beginner never wakeborded before tried this board and found it very easy to get out of the water and ride it, (infact by the end of the 1st day.the week before a tried a mates cheap board and couldn't get out of the water, a better board made the differance for me Go for it.

I did a lot of research on this board before deciding to take it out for a spin and I must say that I have nothing but good things to say about it! I came from a smaller parks board and have ridden a couple bigger boards, like the parks 143 and lymans, etc...and this board is my fav! It tracks amazing, I hit a toeside double up on the first try and the toeside stability is UNREAL! I would recommend this board to anybody, I have yet to try it finless. I did change the fins from the stock ones to hyperlite 1.1 inch fins and it works great so far. I'll try it this week finless. But I highly recommend giving this board a good try. Great pop off the wake, tons of control, toeside is so much more solid, haven't gone inverted yet, but i will get back to my flips this week, but i'm sure it'll be great still! Even my olly is way higher! Give it a try!

Nice but out of time?
the tapping sticks and 'stoneish' sound seems to be out of time and its a little distracting. sorry, for that reasong its a 6
Rated 4 / 5 stars
But that "stoneish" sound on the background souds pretty messy fo me.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
really cool
everything seemed to belong in the song, but sounds a little scratchy. probably software or NG problems or just a poor choice of instrumentation, but when i was listening, id hear BOthtsththOOOMMM, if that makes any sense.
only other dislike is how the melody at the second half didnt quite match up with the downbeat/background
my other only dislike (oops i lied) is how its just the same melody for 4 bars, then a new melody for 4 bars, and so on
just touch it up a little and i would definately put it in my favorites
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Software Suggestions
Some of the best software for ambience is Sonar 8 PE. I know you probably dont' have the money to dish out for it but, the software will let you get the organic sounds you seek. It's hard to be organic with FL studio :)

Subject: [GEELONG] Baldwin Locomotives at Beech Forest
Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:05:11 +1000
Syd & Suzie,
Only the first NA class locomotive was built in the USA by Baldwin. The Victorian Railways bought the plans and built all other 13 engines of this class at their Newport workshops.
If any Baldwin staff did come to Victoria, I doubt there would be more than one person, and they certainly wouldn't have traveled to Beech Forest.
The "Beechy" locomotives were in fact stabled at Colac, so any running repairs would be have been done at Colac anyway. For anything major, they were transported back to Newport.
They worked on 4 narrow gauge lines around Victoria (Belgrave-Gembrook - the famous 'Puffy Billy', Wangaratta-Whitfield, Moe-Walhalla, and Colac-Beech Forest-Lavers Hill), and transporting the narrow gauge locos and rolling stock around the state on broad-gauge transporter wagons was not uncommon.

Hello Folks,
I have just recently made the decision to go with commercially tanned hides for my mounts.
If you use commercially tanned hides, what is your method of rehydrating the hides for mounting???

Check out you question on the Tanning category! I tried to answer it!
This response submitted by Bill D on 6/24/99. ( email@example.com )
my tannery uses the Lutan-F TAN. i just soak in plain cold water for 15-30 mins.squeeze out excess water, then let the hide or cape "sweat" over night in the fridge. it is then ready to prep and mount. i have never had a problem , using this method.

Psy vs. BIGBANG: Who Has the Best Music Video? – Readers Poll
This is going to be a tough one for K-Pop lovers, since Psy and BIGBANG are two of the biggest male artists within the genre. We are pitting the 'Gangnam Style' singer's latest video for 'Gentleman' against BIGBANG's 2012 massive hit 'Fantastic Baby' in a poll for best music video! So, which K-Pop act has your vote?
Although Psy is a solo artist, the Scooter Braun-managed, internationally-recognized hit maker has enough star power to stack up against the likes of BIGBANG. The quintet of super suave and seriously good-looking Korean fellows is comprised of G-Dragon, Taeyang, T.O.P., Daesung and Seungri, but is power in numbers going to work in their favor for this music video poll?
In 'Gentleman,' Psy takes a similar approach as he did with 'Gangnam Style,' in that the colorful clip is filled with cheesy dance moves, recurring characters, and finds him acting a fool around a city. You really think at first, "Hey, that Psy is a nice guy! He's really going teach these men how to treat a lady." But no, everything about the presumption is totally wrong. Instead, Psy gets his jerk on and takes a more ironic approach for 'Gentleman,' sending a possible love match flying off of a treadmill, splashing hot coffee into another's face, and stink-palming the heck out of some lady who is just trying to study.
Conversely, in BIGBANG's video, the laughs are more scarce as G-Dragon, Taeyang, T.O.P., Seungri and Daesung try to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where music has been banned. The costumes are incredible in the clip, as each of the guys takes on their own sort of persona.
During the intro, we see G-Dragon seated atop a throne, wearing a mischievous grin along with his black and white striped suit and a red, Rapunzel-status wig. As the clip trucks on, we see fires, explosions and rioting as a frosty and shirtless Taeyang, a blue-haired, militant-looking T.O.P., an imprisoned Daesung, and dark, lady killin' Seungri all have their turns onscreen. The whole clip is quite the spectacle, and will undoubtedly have you pressing repeat for another watch.
So, when comparing them to one anther, which music video would you prefer to watch? Psy's 'Gentleman,' or BIGBANG's 'Fantastic Baby'? Vote below!

Hi Scotch-Irishers,
Hope you are as snowed in as me. If you aren't, don't tell me about it as I am grouchy enough already.
I found a family history of Robert Temple, who is the proprietor of a Scotch-Irish settlement in Maine. He originated in Cork, though I've seen his origins as English.
He was apparently born in 1691 and was a captain in the Irish army before coming over to Boston. He eventually died in Woburn, MA, and is written about in the History of Revere.
In 1718-19 he brought -- what else! FIVE SHIPS [no doubt full of groups of 3 and 5 brothers], from Ulster in an "attempt to found a colony called Temple Bar (now Bath, Maine). Dummer's Indian War broke up this colony."
"Temple was of a distinguished family in Ireland, and the ancestor of the numerous and respected family of the late Lt. Governor Thomas L. Winthrop of Boston, who married his grand-daughter Elizabeth Bowdoin. He was a Tory in the Revolution. " Apparently the family once held the baronetcy of Stowe and so were once minor English nobility.
Temple apparently also had a farm near Worcester, another settlement of Scotch-Irish.
http://www.temple-genealogy.com/d5394.htm is the URL.
Everything in this post might be wrong as I just found it on the Internet. Article appears well sourced, however.

Photos of Super Rare Albino Animals
Lifestyle| | By Lauren Boudreau
Albinism is a rare inherited condition that affects one in 17,000 people. About 300 species of animals in North America also experience albinism, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation, though, for them, it can be quite dangerous to be albino.
However, that doesn't make them any less beautiful and awe-inspiring to look at. Even though their survival rate in the wild is pretty much zero because predators can easily spot them, their individuality is something truly to admire.
Here are some already rare animals made even rarer through albinism.

ATHENS (Oct. 12)
Konstantinos Mitsotakis, leader of the opposition New Democracy Party, was to arrive in Israel on Wednesday for a three-day visit.
The conservative politician is the first Greek party leader to visit the Jewish state.
He is making the trip at considerable political risk. Israel's image in Greece is at an all time low, because of disapproval of Israel's handling of the Palestinian uprising.
In an interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency before leaving here, Mitsotakis explained his party's position in the Middle East conflict and how it differs from that of the ruling Socialist Party of Premier Andreas Papandreou.
He stressed that Greece must establish full diplomatic ties with Israel. At present, relations between the two countries are at the consular level, although the Israeli representative here, Moshe Gilboa, holds ambassadorial rank.
"As I have stated in the past, one of the first foreign policy actions we will take if elected in the next elections is the recognition of Israel," Mitsotakis told the JTA. The Greek elections are due not later than June 1989.
With respect to the Arab Israeli conflict, the opposition leader said, "Although we are in favor of Palestinian self determination, we have said time and time again that Israel must not only have the right to exist but be within secure, defensible and recognized borders."
On the status of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Mitsotakis said: "We consider the PLO as the legal representative of the Palestinian people. But they must understand that Israel is here to stay."
Mitsotakis has talks scheduled with Premier Yitzhak Shamir, Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and President Chaim Herzog.

Daily Free Press:
Looking to draw attention to what they call the "worst form of bigotry confronting America today," Boston University's College Republicans are circulating an application for a "Caucasian Achievement and Recognition Scholarship" that requires applicants be at least 25 percent Caucasian.
"Did we do this to give a scholarship to white kids? Of course not," the scholarship reads. "Did we do it to trigger a discussion on what we believe to be the morally wrong practice of basing decisions in our schools and our jobs on racial preferences rather than merit? Absolutely."
The scholarship, which is privately funded by the BUCR without the support of the university, is meant to raise awareness, group members say. BUCR member argue that racial preferences are a form of "bigotry." The group has a similar view on affirmative action.

A third of this Central American country is without access to safe water or proper toilets.
people in Nicaragua don't have access to safe water.
2 million people don't have access to adequate sanitation in Nicaragua.
27% of the population in Nicaragua live below the poverty line.
Known as the 'Land of lakes and volcanoes', Nicaragua has abundant sources of freshwater, but little of it is safe to drink or readily accessible.
Years of insufficient public investment following war and natural disasters, together with contamination from mining and agricultural activities, and deforestation and soil erosion caused by extensive cattle ranching, have left 800,000 people without safe drinking water.
What's more, 2 million people don't have access to adequate toilets in Nicaragua, a third of the population.
The resulting diseases exact a huge toll on families' health, keeping children out of school and stifling economic growth. The exhausting task of water collection usually falls to women and girls, who have little time left for work or school.
WaterAid's Nicaragua programme opened in 2011. We work in the North Atlantic autonomous region on the Caribbean coast – a remote, isolated area of mainly indigenous and afro-descendent people, with an annual population growth rate of more than 4%, the highest in the country.
We are helping to improve and expand safe water, sanitation and hygiene services in the region by training local people to install and maintain rope pumps (a simple type of water pump), install eco-toilets (a type of pour-flush latrine), drill manual borehole wells, clean and disinfect existing hand-dug wells, and install rainwater catchment systems.
To identify the communities most in need of assistance, we are helping local people to map current access to safe water and sanitation. Our work is focused on establishing safe water and sanitation facilities in schools as well as households.

Michael Pollan is a rising star in the world of food. His recent book, In Defense of Food, was reviewed on Evangelical Outpost not long ago, he appears in a film now in theaters, and in a soon-to-air PBS documentary. He's garnered attention on speaking tours and in a variety of articles, including this article by John Schwenkler at The New Atlantis. Schwenkler elaborates on In Defense of Food's central thesis – that our forsaking of folk wisdom to worship at the altar of decontextualized science is harming us, not simply in how we conceive of food (as Pollan argues), but in all areas of our lives.
The scientific perspective on food encourages us to understand what we eat solely in terms of its constituitive parts, reducing it to "nutrients." This excludes folkways that approach food more holistically. Because common sense cannot address food in terms of its caloric content or chemical construction, it has been bypassed in favor of expert opinion. But expert opinion is more and more returning to the value of inherited wisdom, things older generations came to know without scientific justification. Yet again, it turns out we should have listened to our mothers.
Schwenkler's argument is reminiscent of the recent best seller Blink. In it, author Malcom Gladwell argues that instantaneous intuition, which outpaces reason and seems to defy available evidence, often provides a subtle and reliable analysis of situations, one we couldn't otherwise perform consciously. There are all sorts of ways in which an individual may have a way of doing things which she can't justify, but which may well be to her benefit. Why shouldn't this be so for cultures? It seems as if Pollan and Schwenkler would have us hesitate before throwing over "the way things are done" in favor of "progress." They each offer examples of how America is returning to the roots from which it too hastily cut itself off.
Schwenkler, like Pollan, champions "not the kind of wisdom, whether real or merely apparent, [that is] dreamed up within the walls of the laboratory or the ivory tower, but rather the piecemeal accumulation of folk intuitions and commonsense tricks that encourage personal and societal flourishing in ways that abstract theories and appeals to first principles very rarely can." He argues that "it is often at our peril that we allow such conventions to be displaced." He notes that from child-rearing to city planning, we as a culture are realizing that our blind faith in engines of progress and modernity have often done us a disservice, one which our cast-aside old wives' tricks and folk wisdom can remedy. From "free range" kids to farmers' markets, things like eating local and trusting parents' intuitions is gaining grassroots support over the prepackaged and oversystematized.
To be fair to the previous generations who got us into this streamlined, scientistic, systematized global economy, it must be said that life informed by the scientific advances of the modern world has its advantages. Things like the polio vaccine are just as much derived from science-centered progress as TV dinners. And though we may rightly blame such "progress" for the latter, it is best not to overlook the real progress of the former. Of course, neither Schwenkler nor Pollan are dismissing a century's worth of development out of hand, but in their rush to affirm those goods which the last century has overlooked, they may do some overlooking of their own.
It cannot be ignored that the attempt to return to the way our grandmother thought of food and place is a move forward. There is no way that modern institutions, which are steeped in science, can be erased or undone, and we ought to be wary of replacing the old system with a new equally unhealthy one.
Pollan has acknowledged these dangers. In an interview with Organic Gardening magazine, Pollan notes that organic is in danger of being co-opted by the same money-driven engines that created the problems organic farming professes to address. Any revolutionary movement is in danger of absorbing (or being absorbed by) the worst of the status quo, and no solution for the food industry is safe from its abuses. Neither Schwenkler nor Pollan explicitly answer how we can go back while moving forward. How the organic movement spread without utilizing the industry which it repudiates; how can the higher cost of organic justify itself to the poor; and whether it can work to help world hunger, or is doomed to be the hobbyhorse of the wealthy leisure class are all as yet unclear. The general movement toward organic and local produce would do well to step carefully, working toward real, necessary change to our foodways, without rejecting what good has already been gained. '

We have never been to New England during the fall so my husband and I are excited about a trip to that area this year. Reading about all the drives, beautiful foliage, towns, inns, and food on this forum is almost overwhelming! We will fly into and out of Manchester, NH or Boston. We have 6 touring days plus 2 travel days and plan to arrive between Oct 1st and 4th. We plan to see Boston (1 day) and then drive along the coast to Portland then head inland. That's where our plan stops. We may not get to come back to this area so we don't know whether to try to "see it all' or concentrate on a couple of areas. We read that the area around Rangely, ME is pretty. We know we want to visit the White Mtn area, but which routes are best? (Where to stay?) We also read that the drive to Pittsburg, NH is pretty and we might see a moose. From the White Mtns we think the logical drive would be to Stowe, VT then south on Hwy 100 to connect with Hwy 7 to head to the Green Mtns. To finish our trip, is there a must-see drive in Connecticut? is this circle possible or too ambitious? Thanks for your suggestions!

Portland is a great foodie city but on the way I would recommend a stop in Portsmouth NH for an inland rivers foliage cruise. Keep in mind that Columbus Day weekend is THE heaviest traffic weekend of the entire year. I would avoid the White Mountains during the weekend. Color will start soonest in the north so perhaps start with the White Mountains. The other reason why I would start with the White Mountains is that once you get far enough north on I93, say the NH/MA state line, it's heavily wooded so you should see some decent early color and it will get better the further north you go. I actually prefer I293 over staying on I93 because I like going along the river with the view of the old Manchester NH mill buildings. It's too bad the Concord NH view northbound to the west is the back of a strip mall but the Merrimack River is on the east side of the hwy. At certain times of day, there's a nice reflection of trees in the water. You will notice that you are starting to see distant hills/mountains. The scenery gets better and better until I93 actually cuts thru the mountains.
That said, I'm not a big fan of the White Mountains. People will recommend the Kancamagus Hwy. If you stay along the I93 corridor (for views I would choose Meredith/Inn at Mill Falls but I've never stayed there) you can go east over the Kanc and then return by heading south on Rt 16 and then thru Tamworth and Center Sandwich which is my very favorite route in any season.
I haven't been to Pittsburg in ages and then it was for snowmobile trips. I'm not sure the extra drive is worth it for a chance to see a moose. Twice we have seen a bear in the Center Sandwich area so you might get lucky.
From the White Mountains, yes head over toward Stowe but keep in mind Stowe is another favorite destination for leaf peepers so I would avoid on a weekend. The road between Stowe and Montpelier will be packed with tourists since that's where Ben and Jerry's is located.
You can get wine, cheese, ice cream etc trail maps for different New England states. Visiting some of the places will help you get off the major routes and to interesting locations. The Sandwich Creamery (see their website) is a little adventure. Rt 100 in VT is very wooded so we prefer the hwy on the western side of VT that runs along Lake Champlain with good views of farmland and foliage.
If you have to choose between VT and ME, I would choose Maine just for the ocean and lobster. There is too much to see so I would skip CT.
Add something to do to your trip besides looking at leaves and driving too many miles.

You asked about flying into BOS or MHT. I much prefer MHT! It is smaller and very easy to navigate, pick up my car, and get on the highway north. I'm flying into MHT on Oct 5 for 5 night visit. I'm booked for N. Conway and Concord NH. I've done this trip almost yearly since about 2005.
The Kancamagus is a great drive! I do it every year. There are many photo ops along this route. It will have some pretty heavy traffic that weekend, but it's still a fave of mine.
Your trip sounds a little bit rushed to me. I'd cut out at least one destination. I hate to change hotels almost every night. I prefer to base myself in one location for a few nights and explore that area. For me, N. Conway is perfect.
You will want to book your hotels as soon as you have your schedule figured out. I'm already booked, and have been for at least a month or more, and I don't arrive until October. The hotels do fill up!!

Thanks for the great information! Very excited about this trip. Am booking air to MHT. I will happily accept any ideas for lodging and "not-to-be-missed" restaurants. We're foodies! ... Appreciate all

ohoh, you are going to go crazy if you visit the northern New England section of chowhound.com. You can do a search on any of the towns you plan to visit. Expect a lot of posts on lobster in Maine. Manchester NH has some really good restaurants. Brattleboro VT has one of the best farmers markets where you can buy ethnic food for lunch OR visit the Humble Kitchen food truck in the downtown area for Vietnamese sandwiches and pho.
It's getting late in the apple season but you should find some good orchards that still have some unusual varieties (i.e. Gould Hill in Hopkinton NH). In NH you can get a free copy of the weekly Hippo Press which has a good listing of restaurants and food events. Some places have regular wine tastings. It focuses on the Nashua, Manchester, Concord and Portsmouth areas.
If you get to Center Sandwich, the Corner House is a quaint place to eat. I haven't been there in a couple of years though.
So I'll nominate Pizza on Earth in Charlotte VT as the most unusual place to get pizza ... if you can find it (they also don't serve every day).
Jeff knows foliage better than anyone. Check out some of his photos for ideas of where to visit.

Another foodie thing to look for is church lunches/suppers, often advertised in small papers and with signs near town. They often have grilled chicken or baked ham, baked potato, apple pie, etc. and welcome all. A chance to see locals and eat real food.

How To Wear Brown Makeup Without Looking Like A Chocolate Bunny
While Amelia, Erin and Catherine hobnobbed with celebs like Janelle Monae and Miss J on >Fashion's Night Out, I swung by Sephora in Times Square for a mini-makeover by co-founder of Benefit cosmetics, Jane Ford. I thought she'd just swish some pink blush on my cheeks and call it a day, but Ford actually told me propensity for girly pink-or-peach makeup is misguided. Someone like me, with dark, dark brown hair and pale, pale ivory skin (think: Christina Ricci's coloring) should be wearing brown blush and brown lipstick. Yes, brown.

Subject: Re: [htdig] Using a different program for digging
From: Gilles Detillieux (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Date: Wed Sep 06 2000 - 15:07:36 PDT
According to Luis Henrique Cassis Fagundes:

We don't really have any documentation that gives these specifications,
and the specifications do tend to change from time to time, so the source
code is really the only specification to go on.
I can point out a few problems with your approach, though:
1) The database specs are changing quite substantially from 3.1.x to
3.2.x, so by developing for 3.1.x you're hitching your cart to a dying
horse. In 3.2.x, there is no longer a db.wordlist, htmerge is only for
merging databases, and htdig will create the db.docdb, db.docs.index
and db.words.db files itself.
2) The results from searches in htsearch are supposed to be web pages,
each with their own URL. I don't know how you'd end up interfacing
htsearch to your database if it doesn't have a web interface of some sort.
If it does have a web interface, why not use htdig to index it through
that interface? You do mention that it is a website, so why do you feel
htdig can't index its contents? It is capable of dealing with dynamic
content, and isn't restricted to static pages.
The usual solution to indexing a database using htdig really comes down
to developing your own web interface to the database, if you don't already
have one, or using the DBMS's own search facilities and not using htdig.

UK Government Solar Panel Grants and Incentives
All you need to know and how to benefit from these generous schemes
UK government solar panels grants have been scrapped by new, more attractive schemes that can ensure that you:
Make big savings on your energy bills
Earn guaranteed tax-free cash by selling your energy into the grid
They have also made it possible for domestic homeowners in the UK to secure free solar panels from private sector companies. Currently though, it is far better to buy your own solar pv system and keep the profits that it generates for youself.
Check your postcode now to see if you qualify. Click Here.
New schemes are more attractive than the previous solar panel grants
In scrapping the previous solar panel grants (UK) in April 2010, the government replaced them with two far more generous and attractive schemes.
The Feed-in-Tariffs (FITs)
Since April 2010, this lucrative government incentive guarantees you payment for the next 25 years of 41.3p per Kwh of energy that your solar pv panels produce and feed back into the national grid. Essentially, you are using your solar panels to create energy and sell it, and these payments are tax-free and index-linked, meaning they will adjust according to inflation.
So, not only does this mean that ever-rising energy bills will be slashed, but also you will receive a tax-free income for selling energy. It's a very attractive offer, and far better than the old government grants for solar panels.
The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI)
The governments Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme/grants for solar heating will pay 8.5p per KW produced – that is tax-free cash guaranteed for the next 20 years.
These two schemes that have replaced entirely the government grants for solar energy in the UK are a really exciting development that will benefit both the environment and British consumers' finances.
So how can you benefit from these schemes?
- Slash your energy bills
- Make generous tax-free profits
- Reduce your dependence on ever increasing oil and gas prices
These new deals are far better than the previous solar power grants. Thanks to these generous government schemes you can now either:
Buy your own solar pv panels and make generous tax-free cash profits for the next 25 years, as well as save money on your energy bills.
Get free solar panels from private sector commercial companies and cut your energy bills sizeably.
However, by choosing the free solar power deals you are effectively giving away the profits. If you can afford it, buying your own solar panels is a far better option.
Act now to ensure you do not miss out on the deal
The Feed-in-Tariff has some extremely attractive financial incentives – and that is one of the reasons why it is currently under review by the UK government.
Many predictions from those in the energy industry expect that the feed-in-tariffs are likely to be slashed significantly for households that install systems after April 1st, 2012. Indeed, these schemes are very generous and it is logical to assume that these incentives will not available at such a high amount for long.
If you sign-up now, you're guaranteed to benefit from the scheme for the next 25 years, as the government have already confirmed that there will not be any retrospective changes, i.e. they won't break their promises if you sign up to the deal now.
Beware of the cowboy solar panel installers – only use MCS accredited companies
Some solar panel installation companies are claiming that you can make a 10% return on your investment – this is misleading as they are not factoring in the costs of buying and installing the solar panels. Avoid the cowboys by using our solar power information and quotes service. All of the installers on our database are trusted, MCS certified. Use the post-code look up to get started.

Tim Brox -
Eagle Scout Chills Out as Representative of the Antarctic Scout Program
Eagle Scout Tim Brox's career path took a little detour last year -- through Antarctica.
Tim spent five months at the bottom of the world as a representative of the BSA Antarctic Scientific Program sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America and the National Science Foundation. The Eagle Scout from Sequoia Council, Fresno, California, came home with a new direction for his life.
"I had never thought about going to Antarctica," Tim said, until he read an article about the adventures of another Scout chosen for the program. "The minute I read it and saw the pictures with it, I just knew I had to do it. So, I just applied."
"I was surprised when I was called to be in the final three," Tim said. "I would have been the third pick if I had been picking. I was shocked when they called my name. I started out thinking I would not get very far [in the selection process], but somehow I did."
Tim is a native Canadian who has lived most of his life in Fresno, California, and was a senior in high school when he was selected. He put his college plans on hold to take the trip to Antarctica. Leaving sunny California behind on October 18, 2001, Tim did not return to the United States until March 24, 2002.
While in Antarctica, Tim got a firsthand look at the scientific experiments that take place there.
"I actually got out and tagged pup seals and examined hundreds of animals," he said. "I wasn't looking over someone's shoulder learning about science, I was learning by doing, which was a fabulous teaching tool. That first survey day, I personally read more than 100 tags."
Tim worked as a tender for divers studying one-celled animals called foraminifera, and he worked with another team studying glacier runoff in the "dry valleys" of Antarctica where there is little ice and snow covering the ground. But the best part of the trip, Tim says, was visiting the South Pole.
"It's something being at that little pole that says this is the bottom of the world," he said. "There are few buildings there. Everywhere else is just white snow for a thousand miles in any direction."
Being a Scout helped prepare Tim for the trip -- everything from outdoor skills to people skills and teamwork. "All the food we cooked in field camps was on the same green briefcase stoves that you see at Scout camp," he said. "We used GPS [satellite-based global positioning system] units just like I used with my Venturing crew."
Now a student at the University of California, San Diego, Tim's life definitely has warmed up -- at least the climate has. He has fond memories to share and encourages other Scouts to apply for the experience. "It's the chance of a lifetime, definitely," Tim said. "No matter what your interests are, you're going to find something."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/1/2014 (1285 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Pink is suspended high above the stage, spread-eagle amid an explosion of pyrotechnics.
Five minutes in, and it's already one a hell of a show.
Tuesday night's sold-out show at the MTS Centre — a makeup show for her scrapped October date — was one of the final dates on the serial hit-maker's sprawling, four-leg, three-continent Truth About Love Tour. By now, concertgoers know what they're in for: a dizzying Cirque du Soleil-inspired spectacle that doesn't skimp on the drama. Pink's much-publicized aerial acrobatics — which first stunned at the 2010 Grammy Awards — come as no surprise considering she was an aspiring gymnast back when she went by her given name, Alecia Moore, in Pennsylvania.
Still, when it comes to laboriously choreographed arena-pop spectacles, there's a certain mutually agreed-upon understanding that an elaborate stage show may come at the expense of the quality of singing.
Not a Pink concert. She sings live — even when she's upside down. And as utterly thrilling as the aerial choreography was, Pink's voice — that husky, raspy, smoky voice — was a lesson in power and stamina all its own. The pacing of the show was breathless; Pink popped off powerhouse hits Raise Your Glass, Walk of Shame, Just Like a Pill and U + Ur Hand, in quick succession, commanding the stage like the rock star she is.
And when she brought both elements together, the result was sublime. Suspended above the catwalk in a barely there black bikini, she effortlessly belted out the rafter-reaching anthem Try while running through a heart-in-throat aerial routine before returning to Earth for a steamy pas de deux with a very muscular male dancer.
While she has a ton of her own hits to choose from, Pink does have a few covers up her spandex sleeves. Her take on Chris Issak's Wicked Game was a little too faithful to the original, but she beautifully set up a restrained-but-stunning performance of Just Give Me a Reason.
Of course, the high-flying acts kept coming. During her power pop opus Sober, she tested the limits of her body and voice, flawlessly executing a group routine in a rotating cage at a dangerous height.
Some of the night's most striking moments happened on the ground. Pink brought the tempo down, but not the energy, for a pair of stripped-down ballads, The Great Escape and Who Knew.
"I've been told by a three-year-old that this next song is full of 'mom words,' " she joked, referencing her daughter Willow, before launching into the righteous anthem F---in' Perfect, which got the fists in the air.
Pink slipped into a pair of sweet kicks, hammer pants and a cropped motorcycle jacket — it appears she's contractually obligated to have her incredible abs on display at all times — for a medley of Most Girls, There You Go and You Make Me Sick that returned to her hip hop roots. Props must be given to her crew of backup dancers, who always looked like they were having the best time in the room.
The show ended with a spectacular bang. For the encore — So What, her anthem for jilted lovers everywhere — she tumbled and soared through the air, traversing the length of the entire arena, handing out high fives to the people on the floor. Those who left early to beat the traffic missed out on an unforgettable concert moment.
Since she burst onto the scene with 2000's Can't Take Me Home, Pink has been pop music's most successful rebel, carving out a career by being herself and giving a lot of people a lot of middle fingers along the way. She defies expectations with the ease she defies gravity. She's simultaneously a pop star with a hefty CoverGirl contract and an artist with an uncompromising vision. She's a critical and commercial darling who manages to have indie cred and mainstream appeal. She's a freaking superhuman with abs of titanium, but as she proved with her self-effacing stage banter, she's also completely down to earth — even when she's up in the air.
Up-and-coming act the Kin, which was handpicked by Pink to serve as her opener, turned in a tight set that boasted even tighter harmonies. The Australian brothers — who now call NYC home — released their major-label debut EP, Get On It, in 2013. Despite being relatively new to the scene, they sounded right at home on an arena stage.
