Baltimore County News
Ifenanya Agwu, Intern, Baltimore County Office of Communications
Around the world, the "local food" movement has been very good for small farmers, and over the last few decades, farmers markets have grown increasingly popular in the United States alone, from 1,755 markets in 1994 to 8,144 markets in 2013. It's no wonder why – the fresh peaches, strawberries, apples and other produce I've bought from our County's farmers markets have been some of the best I've ever had!
Even if I'm not in the mood for fresh produce, I can have one of my favorite summertime treats at the Towson Farmers Market – shaved ice from the Kona Ice truck, one of the many vendors that line Allegheny Avenue offering goods like fresh produce, baked goods, plants, crafts, delectable home-cooked food and many other interesting finds. Our farmers markets offer something for everyone, and to complement the great variety available, their prices are often less expensive than your local supermarket.
From spring to late fall, one can find a farmers market in Baltimore County nearly every day of the week. Come out and celebrate National Farmers Market Week 2014 from August 3-8 – shop local, eat healthy and feel happy! Visit enjoybaltimorecounty.com/Play/FarmersMarkets to find a Baltimore County farmers market near you.

Yap Island Mission Loss—22 November 1944
22 November 1944 — Yap Island, FSM
30 VF-20 Hellcats, plus two VB20 Helldivers, took part in the attack, the purpose being to drop napalm on a bivouac area near the main runway. After completing the drop most of the fighters made strafing runs as there was little apparent AA fire. This may have led to some complacency, and Lillard's section was noted as leaving it's pullout rather late. Just then the enemy opened up and shot off his tail, causing his F6F to crash and explode at the east end of the runway.

9 Dishes on the MenuLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
A particular inn always offers the same nine dishes on its dinner menu: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I. Five foreigners arrive. Nobody tells them which dish corresponds to each letter and so they each select one letter without knowing what they will eat. The innkeeper arrives with the five dishes ordered and puts them in the center of the table so that they can decide who eats what. This goes on for two more nights. The foreigners, who are professors of logic, were able to deduce by the dishes they ordered which letter represents what dish. What could have been the dishes ordered each of the three nights? Note: Each dish was ordered at least once.
AnswerThey could have ordered ABCDD their first night (finding out what D is), AEFGG the second night (finding out what G is and what A is, since they had ordered it the previous night too), and BEHII the third night (finding out what I, B and E are). This leaves C, F and H out, and since they had never ordered these dishes twice, and each came out on a different night, they should know what they are.

2012 will be remembered in the marketing world as the year that digital marketers finally got around to writing the rule book on mobile. Whilst the move was visibly in an effort to better adapt to the huge shift in consumer behaviour, it's clear that there is still room for improvement.
At the start of the year in Adobe's Q2 2012 Global Digital Advertising Update, we predicted that one in five paid search clicks would come from a mobile device and whilst this seemed ambitious, we have surpassed that mark. However on the other side of the coin – many brands still don't have fully optimised websites or apps for mobile.
So what should digital marketers look out for next year?
Gartner predicts the sale of smart devices to rise by as much as 1.2 billion in 2013 and we think mobile search will continue to grow as a significant portion of SEM campaigns. By the end of 2013, we think one in three paid clicks will come from a tablet or smartphone, with consumers increasingly making purchasing decisions solely with their mobile devices. With this shift marketers need to recognise that a mobile strategy is not optional. Finding ways to monetise and personalise mobile traffic through apps, publishing and optimised web experiences are critical to success.
As well as mobile, we are expecting to see a combination of trends and new technology innovations cause 2013 to be an eventful year for digital marketing. See more on the following 2013 predictions from Adobe on ad exchanger:
– Cross-channel and cross-device measurement will become paramount
– Marketing will become even more granular
– Marketers will understand the true value of Social

text: A 2003 debate against geologist and Anglican vicar, Michael Roberts, brought to light the force with which liberal theologians claim Genesis is a "Who dunit" and not about what was done, or how. Only science tells us that, therefore Genesis must be only symbolic, they say. However, they forget to mention that any liberal theologian who believes God did it "somehow", is actually guilty of gross inconsistency. The concept "God created" comes from reading Genesis 1:1 literally, then changing feet and claiming the creation account is symbolic. If they were consistent, even the word "God" in Genesis 1:1 could symoblise Aliens. Get the point!

Crunchy, nutty, salty crackers.
I have a confession to make. It begins with crackers. Crunchy, nutty, salty crackers. And the doom of shortening days. The curse of narrow daylight. The long slow creep of SAD and carb cravings has begun. The Fall Equinox is right around the corner. After-dinner walks will soon be pre-dinner walks. The wind that weaves through the cottonwoods down by the Chama riverbed will have a chilly edge to it that hints of winter skies and stirs the urge for goin'. I get that every year. The urge. The longing to clear out, let go and move on.
I feel the gypsy spirit in my bones--- screws and all.
And if I am stuck, as I now am stuck, back in this ancient rural desert where I feel--- screws and all- I don't belong, this urge goes underground. This urge- and it is a she- attempts a guise of humming patience and a veil of vague distraction knowing all the while that this ruse of hers is thin and she will soon be gnawing away at my futile attempts to remain buoyant and calm and satisfied with crudities and kale chips. I will be rifling the cupboard for crackers and tortilla chips and baking starchy potatoes. And rustling up plates of steaming spaghetti.
All to satiate The Need. The carb need. The Fix.
All to satiate The Need. The carb need. The Fix.
The serotonin impostor.
For those of you blessed with a friendly chemistry, those of you already anticipating the fall and winter holidays with their frosty allure of goodies and gaity, the ice skating and skiing, and the boisterous camaraderie of football- I salute you.
As for me?
I am preoccupied with conjuring lower carb crackers. And tossing up prayers to the wise and (one can only hope) merciful Real Estate Goddess. Maybe she'll take pity on me. If the house does not sell by November, we'll invent Plan B.

Gluten-Free Pecan Cracker Recipe
By Karina Allrich
These crackers taste a bit like rye crackers, due to the caraway and cocoa powder. If you're not a fan of rye bread or rye crackers, leave out the caraway.
These crackers taste a bit like rye crackers, due to the caraway and cocoa powder. If you're not a fan of rye bread or rye crackers, leave out the caraway.
Whisk together the dry ingredients:
1/2 cup millet flour or sorghum flour, more as needed*
1/4 cup potato starch (not potato flour!)
1/2 cup GF buckwheat flour
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons organic cocoa powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 to 1 teaspoon caraway, to taste
1 teaspoon dried thyme or dried crushed rosemary
Stir in:
1 1/2 cups pecan meal
Ener-G Egg Replacer for 1 egg mixed with warm water
1/4 cup good olive oil
1/2 cup warm water or non-dairy milk, to start
1 teaspoon raw organic agave or brown sugar
Stir the ingredients until a stiff dough forms- you'll need to press the dough out into a thin layer, so if it appears too dry, or it falls apart, add a tablespoon of warm water at a time until the dough is malleable but not too sticky. My dough used almost 2/3 cup liquid- but this will vary according to flours and humidity.
The second time I made these crackers I needed three extra tablespoons of millet flour to get the dough sturdy and glossy. As always- dough and batters vary slightly with humidity.
When dough is mixed, divide in half.
When dough is mixed, divide in half.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or a reusable Exopat.
Using oiled hands flatten and spread half the dough on the prepared baking sheet. Make as thin a layer as possible. Use the edge of a rubber spatula to straighten outside edges, if you like. The thinner the cracker is, the crisper it will be.
Prick the dough with a fork- or not- it's your choice.
Score the flattened dough into cracker sized pieces. I used a pizza cutter to do this.
To bake:
Sprinkle with sea salt or kosher salt, if desired.
Bake in the center of a preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes till firm and slightly crisp (they will crisp up more as they cool). I use an Exopat, so the crackers baked a little longer- and were done at 24 minutes. Keep an eye on them.
Remove and allow the crackers to cool on a rack.
Store in an air-tight container. Or freeze. If they soften from humidity, reheat them on a baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.
Makes 36 crackers.

"Five days of hiking the East Coast Trail transformed us into proselytizing zealots. Now we're the ones eagerly asking, 'Have you hiked the East Coast Trail?' hoping for an opportunity to tell all about it."

Mistaken mystique21 Nov 2010
Mistaken Point is a remarkable place. A beautiful, rocky headland at the tip of the Avalon Peninsula bearing the fossilized remnants of ancient creatures more than half a billion years old. Etched onto two shelves of stone, these cryptic messages from the distant past were once primitive animals living at the bottom of the ocean. The volcanic ash that killed them, also preserved them
This Vancouver Sun article talks about a recently discovered cemetery in Cupids, NL, which is thought to be the oldest English burial ground in Canada. We also happen to have the oldest burial site in all of North America, located at L'Anse Amour, Labrador. It dates back 7,500 years — 3,000 years before the pyramids of Egypt.
On the hunt for pirate treasure11 Nov 2010
Is the greatest pirate of all time from NL? Newfoundland and Labrador's infamous pirate, Peter Easton, who plundered foreign ships sailing the Atlantic Ocean in the early 17th century, may well be the most notorious pirate of all time. CTV's W5 went diving for evidence off the coast of Conception Bay, NL.
The November issue of National Geographic Traveler Magazine rated the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador at the very top of 99 coastal tourism destinations in the world, beating out popular seaside travel spots in Wales, New Zealand, Hawaii, Italy, Australia and other provinces within Canada.
The magazine said that Newfoundland and Labrador has struck the right balance in developing its tourism industry without destroying what makes it unique, and noted it has welcomed the economic benefits of a strong offshore oil and natural gas industry while maintaining its "stunning natural and cultural integrity". The article also noted the unspoiled scenery, revitalization of waterfronts, rural communities, coastal hiking trails, colourful birdlife and seafaring heritage as among the components which make the Avalon Peninsula "one of the best-kept tourism secrets."

As I've been making the (endless) pre-collection rounds I've noticed a few trends/innovations I wanted to pass on. Here they are, from most original to most accessible:
1. The Spant
This could also be called a "skant," though since scant is an actual word already, I think it risks confusion and "spant" is better. As to what this exciting new hybrid is, think silk palazzo pants-meet-long-skirt, so what looks like soigné trousers from the front swish like a train in the back.
The garment comes courtesy of Olivier Theyskens at Theyskens Theory, and though it may sound weird, paired with a tank top or t-shirt (though it's called "pre-fall", it hits stores in June) it also may be the coolest new proposal for how to dress up for evening. Also — just say the word. "Spant." Spant. Fun, right? Read more

On Thursday the ABS publishes the September jobs data, which will provide important insights into an emerging debate on the real state of the labour market.
This is crucial to get right, because years of research have concluded the jobless rate is the most powerful predictor of changes in inflation over time and hence the Reserve Bank of Australia's policy rate.
In producing the monthly labour force numbers, the ABS surveys around 29,000 households. In August, the 95 per cent "confidence interval" around the headline 5.1 per cent jobless figure was a relatively tight band between 4.9 and 5.3 per cent. But the small sample size generates far larger errors in the "absolute" jobs numbers each month.
The August survey indicated 8800 jobs disappeared. Yet this came with a 95 per cent confidence interval ranging from 63,600 jobs lost to 46,000 jobs gained. That is, from extremely bad to good news. Despite the media attention, the raw monthly numbers have little meaning.
While the RBA is notorious for trying to tell "stories" when communicating its decisions, October's rate cut was always going to be hard to rationalise.
The national accounts show that Australia's economy expanded at an above-trend pace over the six and 12 months to June 2012. The low jobless rate, which has bobbed around 5.2 per cent since May 2010, reinforces this case.
Although the RBA's cut was carefully priced before the event, the costs of waiting for the release of the vital third-quarter inflation data were trivial. House prices are rising again and the benign inflation prints since July 2011 were artefacts of once-off currency gains, which have now stopped.
After the RBA's meeting, governor
The problem is that the RBA does not have a great forecasting record. In May it said growth over the 12 months to June would be 2.75 per cent. It needed this "sub-trend" guide because it cut the cash rate by 50 basis points that month, and 25 basis points more the next. As it happened, the June GDP numbers were nearly one-third stronger than the RBA anticipated.
That was not the only pessimistic miss. In January, deputy governor
In November, Stevens disclosed that the RBA's projections for its own policy objective, the inflation rate, were uncertain even within a short period.
Over a forward two-year period, the window in which cash rate changes have their effect, he noted there was a 60 per cent chance actual inflation would be more than half a percentage point above or below the RBA's best guess.
Beyond an inferred downgrade to resources investment plans, another key explanation for the RBA's preparedness to shift policy into stimulatory territory was its assessment that the labour market had "softened". The RBA accepts this conflicts with the static jobless rate, which has historically been its preferred real-time proxy for economic activity. Yet three recent analyses insinuate that Australia's labour market is stronger than many think.
The first, by Treasury's dual PhD David Gruen, destroys one side of the "patchwork economy" story. Gruen and his colleagues examined variations in the unemployment rate across 1400 "statistical local areas". They found the decline in the jobless rate in the mining boom had actually reduced, rather than amplified, regional unemployment disparities. In December 2002 about 24 per cent of regions had a jobless rate within 1 per cent of the national average. By December 2011, this had jumped to about 30 per cent.
Barclays chief economist Kieran Davies believes that the ABS's low jobs growth numbers partly reflect a material measurement issue that it has yet to fix, and which does not affect the jobless rate. The ABS calculates the employment numbers from its small survey, which it scales up to a national level using population data. Davies' concern is that the ABS's "working age" population benchmark has significantly underperformed national population growth. This seems to be one cause of the anaemic employment reports, which do not reconcile with the jobless rate.
Davies believes a useful leading indicator of adverse turns in the labour market is the share of full-time employees who are working fewer hours, because they have been stood down or have insufficient work.
He finds this indicator is close to the trough reached in 2007-08, which is "consistent with unemployment staying relatively low". Davies also documents modest variation in regional employment outcomes, with about 90 per cent of areas having a jobless rate of 7 per cent or less, and 45 per cent below 5 per cent.
Commonwealth Bank chief economist Michael Blythe has also highlighted an unusually wide disconnect between growth in payroll tax and PAYG revenues, and the ABS's weak jobs numbers, which have been correlated in the past. Blythe says: "Growth in PAYG revenues and payroll taxes remains strong. They are hard dollars – you don't pay these taxes unless you have a job or are employing people. So elevated growth rates imply jobs growth may be a bit stronger than official figures suggest … And the participation rate would be higher and more consistent with the fundamentals as well."
We await Thursday's update.

I took inventory the other day — inventory of what is stashed in my car, that is. I drive a van — I know, not a very exciting vehicle, but there were requirements for a vehicle when we were looking to purchase. First, there had to be space enough for our grandchildren, and also, there had to be space for our golf clubs.
Well, the van fit the bill, and as I looked around the van recently, I realized the vehicle has not only become a means to get me from place to place, it has become a storage facility for a wide variety of stuff. I took stock of that stuff the other day, and it was amazing, surprising and well, embarrassing.
I started my inventory with the driver's side front door—as this is the door I look at on pretty much a daily basis. In the door itself there was the following: A pair of gloves to use when I pump gas so I don't smell like a gas tank for the rest of the day; a partially drank bottle of water; and 20-30 miscellaneous scraps of paper ... you know what I mean — the receipt you get when you pump that gas, the receipt from the drive-up window your favorite fast-food restaurant provides you when you pay for your $1 menu items with a debit card, and the little plastic container that sinus/allergy pills come in if you are like me, a sufferer of sinus/allergy headaches and stuffiness.
Having finished that door, I moved on to the passenger side door — might as well finish those before moving on to other spots. The passenger side door was similar to the other — a partially drank bottle of water and miscellaneous bits of paper, many of which were of the same variety. If my husband is driving and he gets a receipt, gas or food, he passes it along to me, and I stash them in the door. I also found a scorecard from the golf course (not sure why I was saving that), and I also found a small umbrella. That umbrella must be my last source of protection because I know for a fact that there are two large umbrellas in the back section of my van.
OK, the doors are done. The glove compartment looms. I found the usual standard items in there — vehicle manuals and insurance cards (both current and expired) and vehicle registration cards (both current and expired). I also uncovered at least six emery boards, all of which had some political candidate's name on one side. I only need a few more to have one for every finger. I asked myself, "Why?" but no answer was readily available.
I approached the center console with trepidation. I haven't looked inside there for several months. Before opening the console, in the top were two pairs of sunglasses in cases, an empty soda can and a travel coffee mug. Obviously, having something to drink is a priority when we are in the car. So, I open up the compartment. Waiting inside was a Tom-Tom GPS, binoculars, a tube of hand lotion, clean paper napkins, two car phone chargers, and a bag of star mints. Oh, I forgot, another pair of gloves in case the first pair in the door gets misplaced. Smelling like gasoline is evidentially a phobia of mine.
On to the backseat — between the front and back seat there are two folded "bag" chairs — you know the kind. We actually need those for our grandsons' soccer and flag football games. There is also a blanket for use at those same activities. If you have never been to soccer at Zearing Park, you might not think a blanket is a necessity, but if you think you will be warm enough to sit at Zearing, forget it — add another sweatshirt and bring a blanket. It is always colder at Zearing than you think it will be. Along the same lines, there was a pullover windshirt belonging to my husband; he has learned about the cold wind at Zearing. Also in this area an infant car seat was installed and in the pocket on the back of the front seat was a phone book and a ring box. Ring box? Where did that come from?
Is there more? Yes, there is a whole back section of the van. By this time, I have decided that I either need a smaller vehicle or better organizational skills or both. The backend of my van holds the important things for spring, summer and fall — two sets of golf clubs! Now and then, when I am feeling energetic, I walk and use a pullcart to play golf, so the pullcart (folded) is also back there. There is also plenty of other stuff related to golfing — three pairs of shoes and sandals, socks, golf balls, tees, sun visors, you get the idea. Doing my part for the environment, I also carry six or seven reusable shopping bags. Thank you, Nita, for being environmentally aware. I also find the other two umbrellas (the large golfing kind) that I was sure were in the van.
I made it to the back door! I survived the inventory of the stuff in my van. I think, with colder weather approaching, I need to not just take inventory, but I need to take a garbage can and a vacuum and go to work cleaning out the van. All the water bottles, soda cans and papers will go. Underneath all of my belongings, I hope to find the carpeting and the actual seats of my van! Good luck and happy cleaning to me!

HBO's True Blood stars went to Comic-Con and were treated like rock stars, as was the pro-ducer Alan Ball, who gave the en-thusiastic crowd some teasers about what's upcoming. The HBO drama has just started its fifth season and Ball reports that three new romances are going to surprise everyone. Plus he let fans know that the background story of the deceased parents of Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) will be explored, and that will especially affect her trouble-making brother Jason (Ryan Kwanten).
Another thing that's special about the current run of True Blood is that Stephen Moyer, who plays the super-hot cold-blooded vampire Bill Compton, got to direct episode eight of this season. It was nerve-wracking, he admits, but the entire cast had nothing but praise for his skills at the helm.
The popular cast includes Al-exander Skarsgard, Joe Man-gienello, Deborah Ann Woll, Sam Trammell, Rutina Wesley, and drop-dead gorgeous blonde Kris-tin Bauer van Straten, who relish-es her role as a vampire vixen.
Anna Paquin and her leading man Stephen Moyer got married in 2010, and now have a baby on the way, which will not get in the way of all the drama in their on-screen relationship. Although Paquin reports that Sookie and Bill's love for each other will al-ways be a factor in the storylines, "no one wants these characters being happy because that doesn't make for interesting stories." So there are more troubles ahead.
Paquin says, "I welcome the challenge of adding to the texture of who she is. I think that any time the characters gets to do something wildly different, it's fun, because you're also trying to incorporate it into who they already are. As an actor, that's an interesting challenge."
It all helps create the mytholo-gy of the show that Paquin says, "Beats you to the punch as far as coming up with stories that have tremendous imagination and sort of shouts out 'Wouldn't it be really crazy if the characters did this or that?'" Chances are that the creative forces in the writers' room have already gone to that crazy place.
The fans go crazy too, and the stars of True Blood have experi-enced their adoration every year at Comic-Con. Paquin has relished her many appearances and says, "The reaction at Comic-Con and enthusiasm for the show has been mind blowing. I'm having the best time of my life."
The fans love True Blood be-cause it has everything. The steamy supernatural Southern saga has lots of sexy vampires, plus witches, shape shifters, the werewolves, and assorted other things that go bump in the night. After four unforgettable mind-blowing seasons of romance, suspense, mystery, and its signature dark humor, True Blood is now in its fifth season. And HBO just announced that it has been renewed for a sixth.
The series follows Sookie Stackhouse (Paquin), a sweet lit-tle mind-reading waitress at Mer-lotte's bar. She has gotten into some horrible situations every since she hooked up with the gentleman vampire Bill Compton (Moyer) in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps.
That place seems to be the epicenter for troubled blood suckers, and since the beginning of the show, Paquin admits Sookie has had a stubborn nature when it comes to friends and family trying to warn her about pending trouble.
"Sookie has definitely grown since she was first introduced, but she's still stubborn," Paquin says. "I think stubborn people get themselves in a lot of trouble, but they also get things done. And I think she's a pretty good person to have in your corner."
Plus, if Sookie wasn't so stub-born, "our show would be a hell of a lot less exciting, because there would be a lot less danger for her to be rescued from," Paquin insists, but adds, "I'm not just some little helpless thing. I can hold my own no matter what situations they put me in."
Sookie has become more in-dependent over the years, and is operating from the position of not being needy this season. That de-cision makes her open to more interesting things happening. Tune in.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A fourth-grade student from Princeton Elementary School is a finalist in the Braille Challenge.
10-year-old Ton Pham is one of 12 students in both the U.S. and Canada to qualify for the final round.
Ton, who is both visually and hearing impaired, attends Princeton Elementary because of his need for intensive Braille instruction to support his learning. Ton was born with glaucoma and has had eight surgeries to try and improve his vision.
"I can't see, well, I can see a little bit but not tiny, small print," Ton told Local 6.
Despite these challenges, he is very bright and maintains an A average in his classes, officials said. Ton has only been reading Braille for thee years.
"It's huge, it's really an accomplishment, we're very proud of him," said Patricia Odham, Ton's vision teacher.
Ton is the first ever Orange County Public Schools student to have earned a spot in the challenge. En route to the finals, he topped 1,000 other students in the preliminary rounds.
The contest assesses proficiency in spelling, reading comprehension and proofreading. Ton does his homework with a Braille writer but attends regular classes at school. He says he'll be spending the next few weeks preparing for his competition.
"I will try to win but I think I'll do a great job there," Ton said.
Ton will be traveling to Los Angeles in order to participate in the finals of the Braille Challenge on June 21 and 22. He was selling chocolate bars at his school to raise money for his trip but has sold old since Tuesday.
If you would still like to help him and the vision program at Princeton Elementary School, you can write a check and mention "vision" in the memo. The school is located at 311 W Princeton St, Orlando, FL 32804.

Audion Elite 845 3-box SET Vacuum Tube Stereo Power Amplifier
The equivalent of alt- or indie music in the audiophile realm is "SET," Single-Ended Triode amplification. SET is embraced and admired by what the Best Buy and Magnolia crowd thinks of as the lunatric fringe of hifi, for its beautiful, holistic, liquid tone, honest presentation, and achingly emotive fidelity to the original music. In an SET amp, there is no splitting of the positive and negative waveforms during amplification, as there is in the more common "Push-Pull" topology. The price of having one tube (or a pair in parallel) do all the work is inefficiency. On a per-dollar basis, you don't get much power in conventional terms, but you do get heat. But well-executed, an SET amp can deliver uniquely glorious sound. The trouble with most SET amps is deficient power. You need hyper-efficient speakers to get satisfying volume and dynamics from two to seven watts per channel. Zu speakers have the efficiency to make those watts go a long way, but not everyone has Zu. Nor a small room to limit the challenge of filling it with satisfying music. The answer is the Audion Elite, the best 845 tube amp going. Built around the big, sexy, retro, illuminating, Fritz-Lang-meets-Tesla vibe of the fistful-of-glass 845 triode, the Audion Elite pumps out 24 honest watts per channel with enough drive to sound like 3 times that into real speaker loads, while keeping that heavenly triode tone intact. A simple 3-tube circuit per side, this 3-box stereo amp is inexpensive to own and maintain, thanks to robust build and good contemporary Chinese tubes that sound great in this circuit. The Audion Elite amplifier has a big-toned dynamic sound that's also refined, subtle and fresh. The sonic, tonal and drive match with Zu speakers is sensationally synergistic, but in most rooms, this amp has the muscle to pump triode tone at satisfying level through any speaker with at least 88db/w/m efficiency. Unlike most euphonic triode amps with round sound that also seem a trifle slow, all of Audion's amps have their trademark transient speed, transperancy and definition, including the big-tube Elite. Most digital disk players can drive the Elite inputs directly, and each channel has a level control so a single-source system can get by nicely without a preamp. Still, tone is even more truthful with a preamp, so if you have the eggs, mate the Audion Quattro preamp with the Elite power amp for an experience at the very top echelon of musicality in audio gear today. There are a ton of decent SET 845 tube amps around right now, thanks to an explosion of discerning music loving EEs in China, the US and Europe. Hard to go wrong with any of them, but this one is the best so far, making everything from Government Mule to Drive-By Truckers, to Tom Waits to Rosa Passos to Shostakovich sound convincing, penetrating and true.

About the Creator
I founded the Winner's Circle Juvenile Program in 2005. The Great Adventure Weekend is a program of that ministry. This work was started after 10 years of working with a large national prison ministry and seeing the need to reach, not only the incarcerated, but the youth at risk of incarceration. Our offices are located in Huntsville, Tx, wher my wife and I reside. I am an ordained Minister of the Gospel and a certified Crisis Counselor. We have three grown children and three grandchildren. My passion is to reach the "least of the least" with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have organized and directed over 200 prison ministry crusades in the US and Mexico, and have assited on another 200 or so. We have developed a technique that is extremely effective at reaching inmates, both adult and juveniles. We use a variety of program presenters to set the stage for our volunteers to minister one-on-one to the prisoners or court referals. Along with exciting programs, we also offer mentors

The Easter Holidays are upon us! There were times, I'm sure, that you felt this day would never come – after what seemed like an endless winter – and now that it's here you can finally have that much needed break that you deserve! Though for those sitting at home waiting out the rain by catching up on TV in the hopes that the sun will shine once again; we implore you to resist the urge. With Spring in full swing there is ample opportunity to make the most of your break.
Believe it or not, Easter is about more than just gorging on chocolate eggs and rendering that "New Year Diet" obsolete! Here, at the bonnie West Coast, there is a whole range of activities and events to celebrate the season and so guests to the area will find themselves spoilt for choice.
Nature Walks
Being largely unspoilt by modern metropolitan culture, the West Coast adorns several scenic nature walks with viewpoints looking out to the unbeatable landscapes that Scotland has become famous for.
Spring Festival
The three-week Spring Festival, on the Isle of Colonsay, runs every year from the end of April and offers a variety of workshops, demonstrations and live music. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn new quirky skills, like Stone Carving, and revel in a more traditional culture.
Trips to the Isles
A trip to the Isle's is always a nice day out: wither it's just for a couple of hours to the Isle of Kerrera for a bite to eat at their popular Seafood restaurant; a few hours with a bike to the Isle of Lismore cycling it's lengths down to the Lighthouse; or a day trip to Mull to stop by Tobermory, Duart Castle or hop over to some of the smaller Isles. For the Virtuoso's amongst us, keep an ear out for the Mull Music Festival in Tobermory, at the end of April, celebrating the best of local music.
Local Markets
With the weather subsided to a reasonable mixture of sunshine, cloud and showers the locals are beginning to come out of hibernation and very soon the ever-popular farmer markets will once again become a frequent fixture in the area. This year our neighbours down at Kintaline Farm are hosting the "Lorn Community Producers Market – Spring Fayre" on 17th April which celebrates the local food and crafts, with community organisations and fun activities throughout.
Cadbury Easter Egg Trail
Well it just wouldn't be Easter without an Easter egg hunt and this year Argyll council are hosting theirs in Arduaine Gardens, near Oban, between 18th - 21st April. A great day out for the whole family as you enjoy the stunning surroundings of the gardens on your hunt for the hidden chocolate treasure!
The West Coast of Scotland's unique location offers a breathtaking alternative to the larger cities and towns, allowing you to experience the true beauty of the Scottish Highlands and Islands.
With a variety of events being hosted by the community on a regular basis, there's always something different to do and see for everyone, adding to your holiday and creating a truly unbeatable experience

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Authorities say they will begin interviewing the 13 Cleveland police officers who fired 137 bullets at a car last week, killing the two occupants after a high-speed chase.
East Cleveland Sgt. Scott Gardner said the officers have been on paid leave since the shooting Thursday night that they say began when someone in the car fired a shot downtown.
The car sped away, and officers gave chase. It ended five miles later when the car rammed a police cruiser and the 43-year-old man and 30-year-old woman died in a hail of gunfire.
Police said no gun or shell casings were found in the car. The Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/11pLiD4 ) reports that police have defended the use deadly force because the driver rammed the police car and nearly hit an officer.

Two men and a woman credited with saving the life of a 2-year-old Pinal County girl who fell into a septic tank and nearly drowned will be honored by the sheriff's office Tuesday.
Henry Ricketts, 27, of Maricopa, and Audencio Rios, 29, of Standfield, and Chelsea Cunningham, 28, of Alberta, Canada, will be given the Pinal County Sheriff's Office Life-Saving Award at a 2 p.m. ceremony at the sheriff's office in Florence.
The girl was walking with her mother and went chasing her dog Saturday morning on West Papago Road, near the city of Maricopa, when she stepped on the plastic septic tank cover, said Pinal County sheriff's spokesman Tim Gaffney.
The cover flipped open and the girl fell into the septic tank and was completely submerged in about 50 inches of raw sewage, Gaffney said. The mother's screams for help reached a crowd at a nearby swap meet.
Ricketts and Rios jumped in after her, swimming around until one of the could feel the child's hair, Gaffney said. The child was pulled up after about four minutes and handed to Cunningham, later identified as a nurse.
Cunningham performed CPR and got the child breathing again.
The girl was taken to Cardon Children's Hospital, where she continued to recover Monday morning.
Ricketts, newly released from prison, went in head first to try to save the child.
"I inhaled some of the nasty water, so I had to come back up," Ricketts told CBS 5 News.
Eyes closed, Ricketts couldn't find the baby on the first try. Plenty of time had passed with no sign of the child.
Eyewitness Barbara Fowler described the scene.
"They pulled him back up, but they couldn't find her," Fowler said. "Immediately after that, another gentleman went in head-first, and they had a guy on either side holding each of his feet and dropped him down in there and he dug around and came up with that baby, by its arm."
Fowler said the child was lifeless when they brought her up. Immediately, a young woman, later identified as Cunningham, stepped in and started CPR and mouth-to-mouth and revived the girl.
"We saw that baby breathe again," Fowler said.
Three firefighters continued to administer first aid on the ride to the hospital. Two relatives, one identifying himself as the girl's grandfather, remained at the scene and held each other as they spoke to police and fire officials before making the trek to the hospital themselves.
Rescuers were not treated for any injuries, although Ricketts had some large, superficial scratches on his back that were probably the result of his contact with a pipe in the tank, first responders said.
Fowler says what she witnessed showed her the true human spirit.
"I'm proud to be in their presence, to know people come together like that," she said. "They were astounding."
The three recipients will be accompanied by the girl whose life they saved, her mother and her grandparents, Gaffney said.

Bank of America ejected reader Tycho after he refused to give the teller a thumbprint while cashing a check.
"Your are not a customer and I don't have to help you."
I asked, "What good is a BofA check if BofA wont cash it? Checks are bound by federal guidelines, it seems to me like not honoring a check to your own bank would be fraud."
"Those rules tell me I have to get your thumb print to cash a check."
"Show me that rule."
Question: Can a bank legally refuse to cash your check? Can a bank legally require a thumbprint as a prerequisite for doing business?
Tycho's letter, inside…
Tycho writes:
- "I went into a Bank of America branch on my lunch break. I had with me a check, written to me, that draws on BofA. I wished to cash it. I waited in a line of about 10 for about that many minutes. I was asked for a few forms of ID, one state issued photo ID and one other like a credit card. I produced the needed ID and was asked then for a thumb print. I politely declined. The teller was astonished. She reacted to me as though I had asked her to take the rest of the day off, completely expecting her to do so. She was totally bewildered. The exchange was polite and brief,
"To cash this check I need your thumb print."
"I'm not going to give you my thumb print, how bout some more ID?"
"I can't do that."
"Do you not think I am who I say I am?"
"I need a thumb print."
At this point she waved the next person in line to her. I asked to see the branch manager.
The manager came up to me with a stack of papers she was busy with and set them down on the counter. I told her I had a check drawn on BofA that I would like to cash and the teller refused to do so. We went through the above exchange. When I offered extra ID to prove I am who I say I am, very discreetly, almost imperceptibly, she glanced at the security guard. When we got to the second "I need a thumb print." the tete-a-tete' took a different turn.
"Your are not a customer and I don't have to help you."
I asked, "What good is a BofA check if BofA wont cash it? Checks are bound by federal guidelines, it seems to me like not honoring a check to your own bank would be fraud."
"Those rules tell me I have to get your thumb print to cash a check."
"Show me that rule."
To that she made no response, glanced at the security guard who was right behind me at this point, and went about her work as if I had never walked into the bank. I asked the security guard if he could cash my check. He said no and that if I had no business at the bank, I would have to leave. I turned to the manager and said that her security guard cannot help me either. She walked away keeping her head down to avoid eye contact.
I left, check in hand, frustrated and insulted.
This branch is in Miami Beach. I don't know the managers name.
Regardless of the thumb print, each person I spoke with was amazingly quick to ignore me and let someone else deal with my vigilance. It was really only a few sentences when the manager gave the security guard the glance and he came creeping up behind me. It was not anything about how I behaved, I was certain to remember my manners and to be polite.
It was only what I said (and it wasn't much) that quickly warranted me being ignored with a security guard at my side.

AIS clients can now divert products from landfill.
ANEW's story is told in the Vimeo embedded below.
HUDSON, Mass. – In a continued effort to provide increasingly sustainable solutions, AIS has partnered with ANEW to provide a take-back solution for surplus office furniture and materials. This partnership provides AIS clients with a means to repurpose their furniture, fixtures and architectural materials, diverting the items from landfill. All captured materials are donated to public agencies and charities within a 50 mile radius, benefiting the local communities to which the furniture resided.
ANEW, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, exists to provide companies with alternatives for their surplus furniture and other items with the priority of matching it to non-profits, public agencies and underserved communities while avoiding landfill. This simple practice furthers corporate citizenship, social responsibility and environmental sustainability. With a nationwide reach of 250 service providers, ANEW is a single point resource, coordinating the removal of all surplus in any condition from the interior built environment, conducting community outreach to charities and others, then reporting the results and metrics of every project. In its 7 years of existence ANEW has diverted 8.9 million pounds from landfill, serving more than 500 organizations in 13 countries. ANEW educates through action, transforming corporate surplus into community service.
"This partnership is a great fit for AIS. As a lean manufacturer, we are very environmentally aware of not just what we produce, but what we dispose of. By aligning with ANEW, we can ensure that abandoned furniture becomes recycled and used to benefit our communities as opposed to filling up our landfills," says Rob Lazarus, executive vice president, AIS. "This is a great organization that unites social responsibility with environmental sustainability- something that we here at AIS are very passionate about."
"ANEW is happy to welcome AIS as a sponsor," says Founder/President Rose Tourje. "Their dynamic approach to sustainability is a perfect fit with ours; we look forward to working with them."

One Special DayRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
Every one hundred years
as the song has it,
I appear but for one day,
one special day,
where the heather grows.
One could stay
but none could leave
less the miracle would be broken.
What am I?
Hint"Down On MacConnachy Square".
AnswerI am the mythical Scottish town of Brigadoon. It appears for one day every one hundred years. In Lerner and Loewe's play, the Scottish village of Brigadoon was put under a spell centuries ago. This village remains unchanging and 'invisible to the outside world except for one special day every hundred years, when it could be seen and visited by outsiders'. According to the spell, a visitor might be allowed to stay, but if anyone ever left Brigadoon, the miracle would be broken and that would be the end of Brigadoon. "Down On MacConnachy Square" is a song by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe from the musical. The story is originally from a German tale.

New exhibit at Clarke Historical Museum honors Eureka's firefighting history
EUREKA- This year marks the 150th anniversary of organized fire fighting in Eureka. To celebrate, on Saturday, the Clarke Historical Museum will unveil a new exhibit.
"Their responsibilities are much more than when it first began and the community really needs to celebrate what firefighters do for us. They keep us safe and we really rely on them and they do a fantastic job. So the Clarke Museum is extremely happy to host this exhibit," said Ben Brown, the Director and Curator of the Clarke Historical Museum.
The exhibit will be open until September, featuring artifacts from eureka fire departments throughout the years. On Saturday, the Old Town Steam Fire Engine No. 2, which was used to fight fires from 1905 until 1935, will be on display in front of the museum. The steam fire engine will be shooting water into the street in multiple demonstrations. Humboldt Bay fire officials say innovations like these are still relevant to this day.
"Without what our former fireman and what people have done in the past and built, we would not have the equipment that we have today that makes our jobs more efficient and much safer for us and the community," said Fire Engineer Kevin Voorhees, the Department Historian for Humboldt Bay Fire.
The Old Town Steam Fire Engine No. 2 demonstrations will be held from 3 p.m. until 8 p.m. in front of the Clarke Historical Museum, which is located at 240 E Street in Eureka. The stretch of road in front of the museum will be closed during this five hour period.

Between 2006 and 2011, the City of Winnipeg's population rose 4.8 per cent to nearly 664,000 from more than 633,000 five years earlier, Statistics Canada revealed Wednesday when it published the first set of findings from the 2011 census.
During the same period, the Winnipeg Census Metropolitan Area -- the city and 11 bedroom communities where more than half of the workforce commutes into Winnipeg -- saw population growth of 5.1 per cent, to 730,000 from 695,000.
This modest but significant population growth places metropolitan Winnipeg near the middle of the Canadian urban pack, right in line with steady-as-she-goes Montreal (5.1 per cent) and in way better position than recession-battered Windsor, Ont. (-1.3 per cent) but nowhere close to oil-rich Calgary and Edmonton (12.6 and 12.1 per cent) or potash-fuelled Saskatoon (11.4 per cent).
Although Winnipeg's growth lags slightly behind Conference Board of Canada predictions, themselves based on Statistics Canada figures, city officials are taking the moderate influx of humanity in stride.
"We would rather have modest, constant growth than erratic growth, any time," said City of Winnipeg economist Georges Chartier, who also manages the city's infrastructure planning. "We don't get into a boom situation, but we also don't have the negative consequences associated with busts."
Mayor Sam Katz said he was heartened to see the city's growth rate more than double the figure for 2001 to 2006, when the city grew 2.2 per cent. "We have healthy, moderate growth that definitely can be managed properly," he said, adding it is not valid to compare Winnipeg to oil-rich counterparts in Alberta.
On the flip side, this city may be ill-prepared if not outright unable to handle more vigorous population growth, thanks to its chronic housing shortage. Home prices continue to rise and apartment-vacancy rates have hovered around one per cent for several years, making it difficult for new arrivals, particularly immigrants and migrants from First Nations, to locate suitable housing within the city.
"We don't have the same safety valves in Winnipeg and the surrounding areas to alleviate some of the housing pressure," said Peter Squire, a spokesman for Winnipeg Realtors. "We're still playing catch-up to the population we have."
Chartier said he's confident the private sector will adapt to the situation, especially now that Statistics Canada has demonstrated Winnipeg's stronger growth.
"There is some pressure to increase housing construction, in particular multi-family units. People have to live somewhere and the housing market will react to that," he said. "The housing market is a bit cautious, after what happened in the (slow-growth) '90s. After 10 years of OK growth, there is more confidence in the market."
The 2011 census also revealed the fastest-growing areas of the city included the Amber Trails region of Old Kildonan, the Waverley West/Whyte Ridge area of Fort Garry and the east side of the Exchange District, home to recent condominium construction.
Squire said the city acted prudently when it opened up suburban greenfields to housing developments, given the demand for new single-family homes. But as greenfields grow scarce, the city must develop more housing in older neighbourhoods, where existing residents often resist the construction of multi-family housing, Squire said.
"The challenge moving forward is how you get infill through the NIMBY (not-in-my-back-yard) challenges," he said.

SINGER songwriter Rupert Stroud has talked about his experience of meeting James Blunt, as he prepares to perform at the Tour de France hub in Ilkley on Friday.
Rupert, from Ilkley, recently supported James Blunt at Dalby Forest as part of his Moon Landing world tour - which he described as an incredible performance by a brilliant musician and songwriter of worldwide fame and status, in a stunning setting.
"It was a beautiful, warm and thankfully dry night too," said Rupert.
"We had a tremendous reception from the lovely audience and I have gained loads of lovely new fans, one of them being James himself. He is a really lovely and intelligent guy. It was a brilliant experience to hang out backstage with him and the band and he gave me some invaluable advice."
He added: "He had listened to my sound and personally approved me as his support. James has a brilliant sense of humour and does not take himself seriously at all.
"His banter with the audience is very self deprecating and he gets everyone laughing with him and at him and yet he is able to switch the mood in a second as he pours all of his emotion into his songs. He is truly a world class act."
After the show, says Rupert, James invited him back to his dressing room for a few beers and a chat about life on the road for him.
He heard how men in the crowd are more respectful to James when when he is crowd surfing - which he did at Dalby - and taught Rupert a few tricks, including how to open a beer bottle without using an opener.
"We talked about all kinds of things he is not at all full of himself and is just one of the lads, which I guess goes back to his army days," said Rupert.
James Blunt has been on the Moon Landing Tour since December 2013, and is leaving for Europe soon before returning to the UK later this year.
Rupert also met James' fiancee, Sophie Wellersley, who was backstage.
Rupert added: "James' band and crew were also brilliant fun and we had a good laugh about how James really likes the tour bus as he is the only one small enough to fit in the beds. Jame's parting words to me were " I wish you all the luck in the world Rupert, you've got a great sound and I'm sure our paths will cross again in the near future"

ImSpartacus - Friday, September 16, 2011 - linkGive them time.
Now that they have Pipeline, they have a pretty good excuse to get rid the site of Dailytech. Of course, you won't see them admit that, but I bet it's in talks. Reply
HibyPrime1 - Friday, September 16, 2011 - linkI've seen it mentioned a few times that dailytech is AT's sister site, so it's probably not all that easy for them to just stop linking to them. DailyTech has really gotten bad over the last couple years, heres hoping they can pull it around and fix their stuff.
On topic, the pipeline is awesome! The IDF coverage here has kept me busy enough that I haven't bothered to go to any other site since it started. But the real test isn't IDF though, CES2012 should be interesting :D Reply
JarredWalton - Saturday, September 17, 2011 - linkThe DT links are below Pipeline and are not part of Pipeline, so Jason Mick's articles -- and any other articles at DT -- are completely separate from our editorial staff. Reply

Btw, think that sentence should end with a "."; need to make sure you keep that up :) Reply

douglaswilliams - Friday, September 16, 2011 - linkA couple weeks ago I first noticed the Pipeline and that I was interested in reading almost every single article in it. I desperately started thinking "how many years have I been reading AnandTech and I never saw this?! How many valuable stories have I missed?!"
It's good to know I haven't missed out.
Thanks Anand.

That you've been posting far more stories than I ever realised.*
And those lesser stories (i.e. not full reviews) were still all very interesting!
You're mad not letting people know about them on the front-page.
I'll never remember/bother to pop into Pipeline... "keep it simple stupid"!
Seriously, re-think Pipeline, it makes no sense...

Amazon Names Ithaca College Author's Debut Novel a 'Best Book' for June
ITHACA, NY — "Ten Thousand Saints," the debut novel by Eleanor Henderson, has been earning across-the-board praise for its vivid descriptions of 1980s-era New York City and sensitive portrayals of youthful rebellion and family dynamics. The book was released on June 7 by Ecco Press, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.
Henderson, an assistant professor of writing at Ithaca College, is currently on tour promoting "Ten Thousand Saints," which was listed by Amazon.com as one of the "Best Books of the Month" for June and included on the recommended summer reading lists of the "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Daily News." "BookPage" cited it as a "vibrant debut" and "O, the Oprah Magazine" called it an "irresistibly rich and engrossing novel."
Moving back and forth between gritty New York City and small-town Vermont, the characters in "Ten Thousand Saints" — including drug-dealing parents and "straight edge" teens — struggle to create their own identities when life around them is turned upside down. As "Publishers Weekly" describes it, "What results is an odyssey encompassing the age of CBGB, Hare Krishnas, zines and the emergence of AIDS."
Henderson joined the Department of Writing in the School of Humanities and Sciences in the fall of 2010, where she teaches courses in creative and academic writing and historical fiction. She earned her B.A. in American literature/creative writing from Middlebury College and M.F.A in fiction writing from the University of Virginia.
"I began writing 'Ten Thousand Saints' about 10 years ago," said Henderson. "Since then it's traveled through many drafts and many states. It wasn't until about three days after I was hired by Ithaca College that I finally sold the novel. I think IC was my lucky charm, and I feel very grateful for their faith in my book."
Her short story "The Farms" was a Pushcart Prize nominee and was selected for "The Best American Short Stories 2009." Her fiction has also appeared in "Agni," "North American Review," "Ninth Letter" and "Columbia," among other publications. Her nonfiction has appeared in "Poets & Writers," where she was a contributing editor, and "Virginia Quarterly Review," where she was the chair of the fiction board.
