Financials: Mar. Bonds are currently 15 higher at 150'11 and the Mar. 10 Yr. Notes 5 higher at 133'22. For the moment I am still looking at the Bonds as a trading affair between 148'26 and 151'00 with a bias to the short side of the market. In the coming weeks market movement will depend on the ability of the Congressional and Executive Branches of the government to reach an agreement on taxes, budget and deficit reduction before the "fiscal cliff" near years' end.
Must Read
Grains: Mar. Corn is currently 2'2 lower at 756'4, Jan. Beans 10'2 lower at 1430'6 and Mar. Wheat 6'6 lower at 878'6. My recommended sell stop at 1433'0 in Jan. Beans against long positions has been penetrated taking us out of any remaining long positions. If you remain long Mar. Corn either take profits or continue to use a protective sell stop in the 748'4 area. We remain long the Mar. Corn 800'0/850'0 call spread.
Cattle: Feb. Cattle are currently 15 lower at 131.95 and Mar. Feeder Cattle 10 higher at 149.65. Producers of Live Cattle should be looking for hedging opportunites in Feb. Apr. and June. Producers of Feeder Cattle who use short hedges should consider using option strategies only for price insurance at this time as opposed to futures because of the possible upward potential of the Feeder market at this time.
Follow us
Silver: Mar. Silver is currently 22 cents lower at 34.20 and Feb. Gold 5.00 lower at 1724.00. We remain long Silver as a long term trade. I will be interested in adding to the Silver position on a break below the 32.75 level with a 1.00 dollar risk for additional contracts. If Gold should fall below the 1705.00 level on the Feb. contract I will once again be willing to trade from the long side of the market. Support for Feb. Gold is the 1687.00-1705.00 area. Government decisions before the end of the year concerning taxes should increase volatility.
S&P's: Mar. S&P's are currently 0.75 lower at 1415.00. The market has held Wed, support area of 1385.00 and has risen above the resistance level of 1407.00, where we have been trading from the short side of the market. My bias remain somewhat negative, that being said, discipline dictates taken a loss from short sales in the 1407.00 area and heading for the sidelines at the moment.
Currencies: As of this writing the Dec. Euro is currently 7 higher at 1.2983, the Swiss 7 lower at 1.0772, the Yen 80 lower at 1.2098 and the Pound 40 lower at 1.5998. If you remain short the Yen either take profits or lower your protective buy stop from the 1.2260 area to 1.2185 area. As I have mentioned over the last few weeks my initial target on the downside for the Yen has been the 1.2000 area, the overnight low was 1.2086 giving me reason to lower our protective stop. If the 1.2000 level does not hol my next target will be the 1.1700 area. I will once again be looking to the short side of the Euro above the 1.3150 area if the market allows.

Nick Clegg will dramatically disown key "ideological" planks of the coalition's education policy in a speech this week.
The Deputy Prime Minister is to open dividing lines with the Tories by insisting all teachers should be qualified, and the national curriculum should be taught in every school.
"I'm proud of our work over the last three years to increase school autonomy, which, in Government with the Conservatives, has been through the academies programme," the Liberal Democrat leader will say.
"And it is Lib Dem policy to give all schools, whether they are academies or not, those same freedoms to attract and reward excellent teaching, set their own term dates and vary their school day.
"We believe greater autonomy enables school leaders to take responsibility in those areas where they know what's best for their pupils, whilst also giving them the freedom to innovate.
"But it shouldn't surprise you if I say that, although we work well with the Conservatives, our two parties still have differences of opinion, some strongly held.
"Looking to the future, there are aspects of schools policy currently affected by the priorities of the Conservative Party which I would not want to see continue.
"For example, whilst I want to give schools the space to innovate, I also believe every parent needs reassurance that the school their child attends, whatever its title or structure, meets certain core standards of teaching and care. A parental guarantee, if you like.
"Parents don't want ideology to get in the way of their children's education.
"They don't care about the latest political label attached to their child's school. What they want, and expect, is that their children are taught by good teachers, get taught a core body of knowledge, and get a healthy meal every day."
In the address at a school in London, Mr Clegg will ask: "What's the point of having a national curriculum if only a few schools have to teach it? Let's teach it in all our schools.
"And what's the point of having brilliant new food standards if only a few schools have to stick to the rules? Let's have quality food in all our schools.
"That's my philosophy. Diversity amongst schools, yes. But good universal standards all parents can rely on too.
"And, frankly, it makes no sense to me to have qualified teacher status if only a few schools have to employ qualified teachers."
Mr Clegg will say that over the last decade there has been a "revolution in the way in which we've recruited and trained our teachers", including schemes such as Teach First and Schools Direct.
"What all of these routes have in common is that at the end of them you're recognised as a qualified teacher," he will add.
"And I want every parent to know that their child will benefit from this kind of high quality teaching.
"That's why I believe we should have qualified teachers in all our schools."

We have been studying animals in science for the past couple weeks. This last week we made birds and a nest and wrote about them. I love how they turned out!
The first step was for the kids to paint one side solid brown.
Then they glued various materials to the paper plate to make it look like a nest.
(FYI- you will have nest materials all over your classroom for days...)
The last step was to glue pom poms to popsicle sticks and add googly eyes and paper beaks.
Each student wrote various facts about birds and we attached the nest to the top of the paper and put them out in the hall!
Every year our school has a book parade, it is one of my favorite days of the school year.
This year our class chose the book Name That Dog! It is a precious book that has dogs from A to Z and they each have a poem about them. We have been studying poetry in reading so it was ideal. Each class dresses up as the characters in the book and creates a poster.
I cut out the letters on my cricut and then passed it on to a sweet mom who created the rest of the poster for us.
Since the book cover is framed pictures of dogs we picked up some $1 store frames and printed pictures of the dogs in our class! Poncho was featured twice :)
I thought this was adorable- his mom made a little dog house with a dog bone for him to carry in the parade, so creative!
The kids were extremely excited! It was a real challenge to get all 21 of them to pose for a picture.
The beginning of the parade...
Here are some pictures from the previous book parades:
Last year we read the serious of chapter books about Clementine.
It is a wonderful book to read to your class.
He was asparagus!
My first year we did a Magic School Bus book and we had the best poster! Too bad I can't find those pictures.
I can't get enough of children's books. I might get more excited than my second graders do about the book parade.

Chapter 2 -- Instructions for Completing Form 8823
State agencies use Form 8823 to notify the IRS of noncompliance with the requirements of IRC §42 or fulfill other reporting requirements. This chapter includes instructions for completing Form 8823.
After Building is Approved
Form 8823 should be used to report noncompliance after Form 8609, Low Income Housing Credit Allocation Certification, has been signed by the state agency and issued to the owner.
Before Building is Approved
There may be instances where noncompliance is identified before the issuance of Form 8609. If, at the time the Forms 8823 is submitted to the IRS, the owner has not received completed/signed Forms 8609 from the state agency, the Forms 8823 should be completed, but sent directly to the IRS Headquarter analyst responsible for the Low-Income Housing Credit program, rather than filing the form with the Philadelphia Service Center. Line 5, Total credit allocated to this BIN, should be zero. The IRS will consider these Forms 8823 timely filed.
Correction Period
The correction period is the period of time during which the owner of an LIHC property must correct any noncompliance identified by the state agency. The correction period begins with the date the state agency provides written notification to the owner that the building is not in compliance.1 Under Treas. Reg. §1.42-5(e)(2), state agencies must provide prompt written notice to the owner.
Generally, the correction period may not exceed 90 days from the date of the owner's notification; there is no minimum correction period. However, the correction period can be extended for up to a total of 6 months if there is a good cause for granting the extension.
Form 8823 must be filed with the IRS within 45 days following the end of the correction period, whether or not the noncompliance has been corrected.
Example 1: Annual Certification Under Treas. Reg. §1.42-5(c)(1)
An owner failed to submit the annual certification that the building was in compliance with IRC §42 requirements; e.g., that annual income certifications had been received from each low-income tenant and that the units were rent-restricted, etc. The certification was due March 1, 2005 and the state agency notified the owner in writing on April 1, 2005 that the certification had not been received.
The correction period began on April 1st and ended on June 29th. The owner had 90 days, until June 29, 2005, to provide the annual certification. The Form 8823, noting noncompliance with category 11d, Owner failed to provide annual certification or provided incomplete or inaccurate certifications, must be file after June 29th, but no later than August 15, 2005.
Example 2: Extending the Correction Period
A state agency completed a physical inspection and identified noncompliance that required longer than 90 days to correct. The owner received notice of the noncompliance and the correction period began on January 15, 2004.
The state agency may extend the correction until July 15, 2004, giving the owner a total of 6 months to correct the problem. The Form 8823 must be filed with the IRS after July 15, 2004, but no later than August 25, 2004.
General Guidelines for Completing Form 8823
- Select all applicable categories of noncompliance.
Example 1: The state agency determined that 1 out of 10 low-income units in a building had been rented to a household with incomes that did not meet the income eligibility restrictions. Category 11a, Household income above income limit upon initial occupancy, should be selected.
Example 2: The state agency determined that 7 out of 10 low-income units in a one-building project were rented to households with incomes that did not meet the income eligibility restrictions. As a result, the owner did not meet the 40/60 minimum set-aside for that year. Category 11a, Household income above income limit upon initial occupancy, should be selected, and category 11f, Project failed to meet minimum set-aside requirement, should be selected. - A separate Form 8823 must be filed for each BIN. The form must be prepared using the fillable PDF file as revised November 2009 (or later) with the bar codes.
- When filing a "back in compliance" Form 8823, all the instances of noncompliance for a specific category must be remedied before the building is considered "back in compliance" for that category. For example, if four units are cited for violations of the UPCS inspection standards, all four units must be repaired before the building is considered back in compliance for that issue.
- All categories of noncompliance must be resolved before filing a "back in compliance" Form 8823. Be sure to mark the "noncompliance corrected" boxes for each of the resolved issues. If more than one "noncompliance corrected" box is marked, enter the date of the most recent correction on line 9 of Form 8823.
- An amended Form 8823 is identified by checking the box at the top of the form under the title. An amended Form 8823 should be filed with the IRS only if it is necessary to correct an error on a Form 8823 that was previously filed with the Service. For example, the wrong category is selected or an address is incorrect. A copy of the amended Form 8823 should be sent to the owner concurrent with filing the form with the IRS.
- Descriptions of noncompliance or additional information are not required, but if submitted with the Form 8823, descriptions should be concise; however, avoid the use of canned or repetitive statements. It is helpful to identify the unit number, the date out of compliance and the date corrected, and summarize the problems with a brief description. Copies of reports and notification letters sent to the owner describing the noncompliance, electronic pictures, and newspaper articles are also helpful.
Concisely describe the content of any additional information maintained by the state agency; e.g., physical inspection reports, photographs, written statements from tenants, etc. Do not send photocopies of pictures; they are not useful.
State agencies should also include explanations when they suspect owners, managing agents, or other parties may have misrepresented factual information such as falsifying income verifications or altering tenant files. - State agencies should report all noncompliance of which they are aware as a result of the annual certification or periodic review of tenant files and physical inspection of the property, without regard to whether the initially outstanding noncompliance is subsequently corrected. See chapter 3 for additional discussion.
Independently, state agencies must also report any change in the applicable fraction (such as converting LIHC units to market rate units) or eligible basis (such as converting common area to commercial space) that results in a decrease in the qualified basis as noncompliance. - There is no "noncompliance corrected" block available for category 11p, Project is no longer in compliance nor participating in the program. Should the state agency decide to reinstate the property, the state agency should contact the IRS Low-Income Housing Credit program analyst.

Note that, in some instances involving buildings placed in service, receiving an allocation of credit, or described in IRC §42(h)(4) with respect to which tax-exempt bonds were issued prior to September 9, 1992, managers' units may be included in the total number of residential units. See Rev. Rul. 92-61, 1992, 32 I.R.B. 4. The IRS will not, however, apply Rev. Rul. 92-61 unless the owner files, or has filed, a return that is consistent with the ruling.

ok, a couple of basic points first...
1. for mild steel i would wait for the RF45 version or even the IH model, the X3 may do it but i like knowing there is extra in the machine.
2. the xylotex kit is not designed to run anything that large. its usefulness ends at the X2. i have seen a few X3 users use that kit, but if your going to go with steppers get geckos.
3. if you have to get the geckos, i say get servos.
maybe build an X2 first and see how it runs. the use it to build the parts for the larger mill once the small one is cnc'd

Well.. he did 'sell out' by using the money we donated, and then settled with sony (after saying he'd keep fighting), though good on him for his skills being picked up, but, you sound kinda... butt hurt that you have to defend him that bad, based on the whining about other whining, and the jab in the dark about how people live. C'est La Vie..
though.. this isn't really news worthy... it's about a former scene dev.. who was locked out (court order) and found a job.. I like this site.. but since the 'new managment' news has kinda gone.. wimpy.. also.. I hate this new 'article' system.. I shouldn't have to open a new tab to read what should have been in first post...
I see you (and a few others) need to learn what Sell out really means.. here's the dictionary definition that applies to geohot (the rest are about, selling companies, or selling out of an item etc.)
He stated he would keep fighting for Jailbreakers, then turns and settles.. he went back on his principle, so he could get out of court.. thus he was a.. sell out. Okay Class, write this in your notebooks and DO NOT FORGET IT.A betrayal of one's principles for reasons of expedience
please.. if you're going to use a word.. make sure you have the correct usage.. it's not that hard.. go to google, then type define: <word>, where <word> is, insert the word you are thinking of, nothing makes you look more ignorant than using words in the incorrect context.

Hey to all out there, im sure if you had the hacking knowedge, you would have ANY balls to try hack anything after you got sued.So please shut up and dont say he sell up.You're whining.I dont like facebook much but wish the best for him now.
Good for him. Provide free crap for an unappreciative bunch of whining kids and get sued into the ground or go work for a major corporation that recognises his talents and pays very well? hmm
and provide crap to billions of whiny kids/adults "we want a dislike button!" "if you change things we WILL leave!" "one of my friends said you were gonna make us pay, we will not pay! you HAVE to keep it free" "we want dislike buttons!" "we don't want to receive 60 billiion notifications when our dumb friends tag is in every picture in existence" (that was a smart request), "facebook, you update, broke my farmville, now how will I get my crops, from the comfort of my obese ass on the couch rather than starting a garden for myself" etc. etc. point... there will always be whining unappreciative people in ANYTHING, C'est La Vie, if you (anyone) cant handle people being dicks and feeling entitled to everything (see: generations from 1998-present) then, perhaps you should live in seclusion
how is this related to the scene?

Best places to survive a zombie apocalypse
Last Halloween I reviewed the best cars to survive a zombie apocalypse which oddly enough has been one of my most popular posts to date. In fact, I'm still getting a lot of search traffic from search terms like best zombie vehicle, top zombie vehicles, and good car for a zombie. So since I enjoy writing about zombies, and apparently a few of you like reading about them, today I'll address a second concern during a zombie rampage. Where should you sleep? Considerations when choosing accomodations during a zombie outbreak: Safety: Has the structure been thoroughly cleared of undead and is it locked down and fortified to prevent unwanted entry? Defensibility: Can you defend your new home from an undead assault or marauding band of looters?

Firing Squad
Hi, i've just bought the game and im enjoying sussing out how to play it.
I just wanted to ask about two things though.
1. When i zoom out the universe map and it changes to the tactical view, i can see the symbols for meteor anomalies that are not visible on the universe map.
Is this a bug or are the meteors so small they cannot be seen?
2. In my current game (i've started with the campaign) i've just researched 'planetary improvements'.
On the research complete screen it states i have gained the following new abilities - Social Prod: +10, Industrial Prod: +10, Research: +10.
How are these numbers added to to my civilization? Does it get added to the stats for each of my planets?
Also, after reading a couple of posts in the forum it seems that TA was released prematurely and has quite a few shortcomings. This is still the one that i want to play so can you tell me what mod i should use to 'fix it'?
Can you run more than one mod simultaneously?
Currently i'm playing through the campaigns before i tackle the main game. If i was to install a mod to fix TA, would this affect my current campaign (the first one)
1. When i zoom out the universe map and it changes to the tactical view, i can still see the symbols for the anomalies that i have already surveyed and they are no longer on the universe map. Is this a bug or do the symbols remain for a reason?
I'm pretty sure this is a bug, although it's not one that I've ever encountered.
As for the mod questions, in order:
Thanks for the info on the Mods, it helped a lot.
As for the invisible anomalies i will wait and see if they persist in the next chapter of the campaign.

Does red and blue make...purple?
July 11, 2010
Does changing the "temperature" setting on my car's manually controlled AC just waste energy?
I have a Hyundai Elantra without climate control--meaning I can't just set a temperature and it automatically adjust to maintain that temp. All I have is a dial that goes from cold to hot. Or more precisely, from blue to red.
Now, my thinking is that at the max heat setting, it's blowing in hot air from the engine. The max cold setting is pure AC. But if I dial in a setting that's in the middle of those too, what is happening?
Is it making the AC less cold? My guess is that ACs have one setting: ON, so regulating temperature is done by turning it off in intervals, meaning this doesn't happen.
Or do you think that even with the cheaper AC units, it's still doing an on/off cycle to maintain a level of cooling that I dialed in?
is it really just mixing in warm air from the engine (or outside) to temper the cold air? In this case, using any setting other than max cool is basically warming up the cold air to make it something more comfortable--or just wasting energy.
I've always wondered this but don't know much about cheap car temperature controls.

It depends on the car. Older cars will have ACs that are simply on or off, continuously. Newer cars will cycle the compressor on and off as necessary, but that's usually a feature of automatic climate control systems. Some cars have two AC modes, regular and 'economy' (or some similar naming scheme), but that's not very common.
Since you don't have automatic climate control, I'm guessing that your simply runs the compressor continuously and blends in warm air for anything warmer than the coldest setting.
Car Talk question from 2003
(compressors are usually on all the time; warm air blended in; but some cars have two modes);
Car Talk question from 2006

Oh, to answer your first question, it doesn't really 'waste' energy because the warm air is a free byproduct of running the engine. In a car with a simple AC system, if you're running the A/C at all you might as well dial in the most comfortable temperature for yourself. It doesn't save any energy to freeze yourself compared to blending in some warm air.

Jedicus, I'd say the energy wastage comes from the fact that the AC is using exactly as much energy as it would be to be at the maximum setting, even if it's only cooling half as much. That's certainly half as efficient. You probably could save energy by keeping it on the maximum setting and instead of mixing in warm air, setting the fan speeds slower (assuming forcing less air through the AC unit would use less energy — I think it would, but maybe not) or cycling it on and off manually.

That would only save energy in that less would be used to turn the fans. I assumed that we were dealing with a situation where even with the fan on the lowest setting it was still too cold for comfort, thus requiring at least some warm air to be blended in.

I would think that the attention required to do this would be more dangerous than it's worth. To me it would also be extremely tedious.

If you're blending in some outside air then that means you're pulling less airflow across the evaporator coils which means the refrigerant absorbs less heat which means the compressor can cycle off for longer and still maintain the same temperature.
I think it's misleading to say that there are cars where it's "always running." Even on the most unsophisticated models there is a thermostat that turns the AC clutch on and off regularly to maintain a given refrigerant temperature while the AC is in the on position; that's just how they're all designed. It would be wrong to design one without such a duty cycle because AC loads are very much not constant -- you'd either have insufficient cooling on hot days or a frozen evaporator because the refrigerant was too cold on mild days. You don't run compressors open-loop like that.

Or, is it really just mixing in warm air from the engine (or outside) to temper the cold air? In this case, using any setting other than max cool is basically warming up the cold air to make it something more comfortable--or just wasting energy.
For a basic system: sort of. The knob that allows you to set from blue to red controls how much heat from the engine is added to the air before it enters the cabin (either by controlling how much air passes through the heater core or how much hot coolant flows through the heater core or both). Wikipedia on the
heater core
covers this pretty well.
So yes, this is just wasting energy (you are using mechanical energy from the engine to cool the air and then heating it up again, so it would be more efficient to just cool the air less in the first place).
The only situation where this makes sense is where you want to dry the air (The A/C pulls moisture out of the air). Many cars run the A/C and the heater at the same time on maximum defrost to do this.
I assumed that we were dealing with a situation where even with the fan on the lowest setting it was still too cold for comfort, thus requiring at least some warm air to be blended in.
If the lowest fan setting with the A/C is too cold, I'd think that just blowing outside air through the car would be cool enough.
If you're blending in some outside air then that means you're pulling less airflow across the evaporator coils which means the refrigerant absorbs less heat which means the compressor can cycle off for longer and still maintain the same temperature.
This isn't how it works though. The A/C cools the air and then it is heated by passing through the heater core.

Fan speed has an effect like Rhomboid suggests. Higher fan speed - more incoming air per unit time - more heat transferred to refrigerant. Temp setting has no effect (even on the regulated temperature types, I
but I'm not sure) because the air is still cooled to max and then heat is added back after the A/C has done its job.
Putting the A/C in recirc mode once the car is cool should save some energy, too, since a portion of the air it's having to cool is air that's already been cooled below outside ambient temp. [Recirc should also pull down the inside temp of the car more quickly, since the cooling will be cumulative instead of a more feed/bleed process. This is
, but I still think I'm right.] (For cars with a recirc air filter, that's a tradeoff for having to change your filter sooner.)
posted by
on July 11, 2010
As far as most cars go, the heater core and evaporator coexist in a plastic housing behind the dashboard. There are a number of ducts and flaps that control the direction of airflow and another flap called the Blend Door that controls the intermix of hot and cold air. The heater core will always be as hot as the engine, since it's nothing more than a tiny radiator. And the AC evaporator will be frosty when the compressor is running and not cold when the compressor is off. So, unless you're blending the hot heater air with fresh uncooled air, you're kind of wasting energy by running the ac compressor and then warming the air back up again.
The compressor cycling in your car has nothing to do with the temperature you have selected. It runs until a pressure switch trips at a maximum psi.
Automatic systems have a variety of controls including variable displacement AC compressors that operate over a range of outputs and thusly a range of loads on the engine and the heater core may have flow control valves that prevent the flow of hot coolant into the cabin when heat is not desired.
If you have a hard time being comfortable in your manual climate control car, just run the AC on max with recirculate on until you're cold and then the AC switch off, leaving the fan running. It'll blow air over the evaporator which will remain cold, if not cool for a while after the compressor has shut off. Then, turn it on again. This will probably waste the least amount of energy. But the efficiency wasted here is kind of beanplating. It's either worth it to be comfortable in your car or it's not.

Thanks all for clearing that up!
I generally just hit the AC button on and off whenever it's too hot or cool enough. It's easy to get to from the wheel, I'd be fiddling around with the blue/red dial anyway to keep adjusting the temp, and I've always suspected that it saved a little bit of energy that way.
But most of the time, I either need full AC or don't need it at all. Also, I've generally gotten into the habit of turning off the AC when I'm close to my destination to let the fan blow out the last of the cold.
I know it's only something like just 1mpg less to run the AC, but I just hate the idea of heating cooled air. It's like cooking family-sized portions and throwing away half of it just because you prefer leftovers.

Not an answer to your question, but an answer to car companies who might ask "what can we do for our customers?" - I have driven an old Toyota Landscruiser that had two dials - one the traditional Blue-Red for the amount of heating, and another A/C dial that actually adjusted the power of the A/C compressor. You could, therefore, have the A/C turned on, but turned down low if you didn't want
much cooling. A brilliant idea that would fix your quite legitimate concerns about "heating cooled air".

Many vehicles don't cycle the compressor, but have a pressure valve that changes the displacement of the compressor depending on the load.

Unexploded shells cause Mass. to penalize Pa. fireworks firm Pyrotecnico
Massachusetts State Fire Marshal Stephen Coan has suspended the license of a Pennsylvania fireworks company and three of its technicians after workers mowing lawns ran over unexploded shells from Fourth of July shows.
Coan's office yesterday announced a one-year suspension of the Massachusetts license of New Castle, Pa.-based Pyrotecnico, which produces about 600 fireworks displays across the U.S. around Independence Day.
The size of the lawnmowers protected the workers from exploding shells in Ware, Waltham and Stoughton days after the shows. Unexploded shells were also found in Wilmington and Worcester.
Coan said an administrative hearing found that the company violated the state fire code that requires companies to search for unexploded shells the morning after a show.
Pyrotecnico representatives didn't return a call for comment. They told investigators that they received defective fireworks from China.

That's right, we're loony about the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York, USA!
Our goal with this site is to share with you the beauty, adventures, and activities of the Adirondacks! (...in particular the area of the Adirondacks around Chestertown, Loon Lake, Schroon Lake, Friends Lake, Brant Lake, North Creek, Warrensburg, Bolton Landing and Lake George.)
As our web site grows we will expand our coverage to other areas of the Adirondacks. But for now there is just too much to experience and share within this region.
Not only will we share detailed information on the most popular things to see and do, but also those out of the way or unique things we have discovered in over 30 years of vacationing in the Adirondack Park.
Photo by Anita Green
My wife and I fell in love with the area on our first vacation here in the early 1980's, and in particular the Loon/Schroon Lake area. We liked the area so much that we decided to build a vacation home here.
Because we have a vacation home here, we know that we can provide the best (...inside) information on places to see, things to do, accommodations, and where to find the products & services you most want and need.
Here are just some of the of things you'll find when you check out our web site. Visit often as we're adding new information all time!
So... if you are planning a vacation to the area, or considering owning your own home here, we'll do our best to show you our favorite things to see and do in the area and within a one hour drive from our vacation home at Loon Lake in Chestertown N.Y.
We welcome you to our site! ...Explore the magic of the Adirondack Mountains!

Please contact us if you have any comments, questions, or suggested additional "must see/must do" activities.

Frolov to NYR
March 2nd, 2009 by Hog | No Comments | Filed in Incorrect Rumors, New York (R)The Rangers have interest in Frolov.
The Rangers have interest in Frolov.
The Coyotes are also looking to move Jovonavski. Its a Big Ticket Hit. NJ and Carolina are interested, but keep your eye on the Rangers. I was told if they started clearing space today it could be for Jovo
OLD RUMOR - Jovanovski is once again in the Rangers sights. The Coyotes talk of trading Jovo, Doan, and even Jokinen is really kind of surprising given the teams play. Phoenix is still very much in a playoff battle right now.
The Sabres are NOT in on Jokinen. They are among the teams that question what Olli would do for a team's chemistry. The Flames are very much in on Jokinen, as are the Habs, Sens, Hawks, and Rangers
Calgary and Buffalo are in on this for certain, and beyond that I am hearing that the Rangers could be considering swapping Jokinen for Gomez as well.
I mentioned this yesterday in the Buzzcast, but it seems as though the Florida Panthers and Rangers maybe talking regarding Gomez, and that a Gomez for Bouwmeester swap (with conditional picks if Jay Bo were to re-sign in NY)

After reading her bio, I am truly impressed. She very much deserves her own park somewhere better in the City, not to share it with anyone.

The n(egroes) may as well understand that there is no mercy for the n(egro) rapist and little patience with his defenders. A n(egro) organ printed in this city, in a recent issue publishes the following atrocious paragraph: 'Nobody in this section of the country believes the old thread-bare lie that n(egro) men rape white women. If Southern white men are not careful they will overreach themselves, and public sentiment will have a reaction; and a conclusion will be reached which will be very damaging to the moral reputation of their women.'
The fact that a black scoundrel is allowed to live and utter such loathsome and repulsive calumnies is a volume of evidence as to the wonderful patience of Southern whites. But we have had enough of it. There are some things that the Southern white man will not tolerate, and the obscene intimations of the foregoing have brought the writer to the very outermost limit of public patience. We hope we have said enough."

September 26, 2007 Muslims, Footbaths and the Common GoodBy R. John Matthies"Washbasins" (read: Muslim footbaths) are back in the news. These refer in particular to washing stations installed in public restrooms to accommodate the five-times-daily ablutions required for prayer. The website for the Muslim Students' Association's Dearborn campus chapter at the University of Michigan makes great case for "this [publicly-funded] accommodation," for instance, and notes cryptically that "at least 18 other universities around the country [...] have installed foot-washing facilities, including a number of public universities, at least one being in Michigan." But facilities like these may soon be flying off the college campus and into a public venue near you. Foot-washing benches were recently installed at the Kansas City International Airport. And the Hoosier State has announced plans to construct foot-washing stations at Indianapolis International. The Indianapolis Star reports that as part of a $1.07 billion terminal construction project, the Indianapolis Airport Authority plans to install "floor-level sinks" in the restroom adjacent the parking lot frequented by cabdrivers. Not surprisingly, news of the plan has fired up persons across the ideological divide. And, as in times past, arguments both for and against public subsidy of "this accommodation" most often respond to the question of benefit. Terminal project spokesman David Dawson, for instance, remarks, in defense of the airport facilities (read: Muslim footbaths), that these are "for everybody's use." More expansive is Kary Moss, executive director of the ACLU of Michigan. Speaking on footbaths on campus, she argues (without a shred of irony) that her group cannot condemn the things, as this is, first and foremost, an affair of "cleanliness and safety." She states:
"What makes this different is that the footbaths themselves can be used by anyone [read: 'everybody'], don't have any symbolic value, and are not stylized in a religious way. They're in a regular restroom, and could be just as useful to a janitor filling up buckets, or someone coming off the basketball court, as to Muslim students." Ms. Moss has argued, like those before her, that projects of this sort are conceived for the greater good. But language like this cannot appease the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. His reaction:
The question posed by this sort of reaction is not merely "Who may benefit?" -- the answer is "everybody," at least in theory. But it is difficult to argue that "everybody" requires them, or even desires them. Zuhdi Jasser, chairman of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, says as much, and argues:
And so to my point: We may, in fact, be sitting on the answer to this public-subsidy flap. I submit, for your consideration, the humble bidet. Here is an appliance designed with "everybody" in mind; and I propose we install them (at public expense) in restrooms across the nation, and not only in those restrooms patronized by the faithful. I say this because the bidet, while of course resembling the common toilet, may be more exactly described as a washbasin, and has been for three centuries. In sum, I propose we take partisans of the "floor-level sink" (to employ the Indianapolis Star's more inventive term) at their word, and build something for everybody. But won't some be inclined to dismiss the bidet as ablution-inappropriate? And didn't Crocodile Dundee exclaim, on discovery of the sink: "It's f' washin' y' backside!"? Yes and yes, for sure; but a cursory literature review will expose the instrument's true function, which is to splash "everybody's" anything. One vendor describes his product as "a little bath to sit in," and writes: "It should be realized that the Bidet is not a competitor of the bathtub or stall shower, but an adjunct-auxiliary-facility." Another claims: "In certain parts of Europe and Middle Eastern Asia, a bidet is sometimes used to quickly wash the feet." (My own interaction with the porcelain module has been similar; and I will testify that our washbasin is no more loathsome than an airport restroom sink.) My project to install the globally appropriate bidet instead of the merely "Muslim" footbath will certainly reek of lowest-common-denominator-ism; but this is not an unreasonable request, for the reasons that: (1) the bidet boasts a universal appeal, and functional application appropriate to either sex; and, (2) the bidet was designed to accommodate a variety of washings, both secular and profane. In fact, what's been dubbed the "future of personal hygiene" may very well become the future of religious accommodation. And your tax dollars at work. I'll be the first to admit that there's no movement afoot to demand the installation of the plucky bidet; but neither is there a great voice of support for the installation of ritual washing stations-among workaday Muslims or by anybody else. There's safety here, besides: One can argue that my bidet project is moronic, impractical, and cost-prohibitive, but no one can dismiss the sanitation module in question as a tool of religious accommodation. (The ACLU, who condemn "brick and mortar" accommodations, have yet to pronounce on porcelain, what's more.) To sum up: Muslims, like any religious minority, enjoy the same rights and responsibilities as "everybody" in these United States. What's required in the present case is a solution fit for a nation -- or, at the very least, a compromise worthy of judicious King Solomon. Mine isn't an obvious solution to the quarrel over public monies and the physical profile of faith, but I think "everybody," with a little coaxing, can agree it's too soon to throw out the bidet with the (ritual) bathwater. R. John Matthies is a former professor of French literature.

One of Greenville's largest automobile dealerships has found a new place it wants to call home.
The Greenville City Council Tuesday voted unanimously to approve a zoning change and a conditional use permit for Britain Chevrolet, allowing the company to eventually relocate to the intersection of the Interstate 30 service road and Monty Stratton Parkway.
Byron Britain believes the move will be good for both his dealership and the city.
"We are really committed to being here a long time," Britain said.
Britain Chevrolet was seeking a change in zoning from agriculture and commercial to highway retail for the tract at the southeast corner of Monty Stratton Parkway and Interstate 30, as well as a conditional use permit in order to be able to operate a new automobile sales facility.
Britain Chevrolet currently operates a dealership at 4715 Wesley Street.
Chief Building Official Steve Methven told the Council that the dealership is the first business to receive a highway retail zoning designation, which was created for the areas along the Interstate 30 corridor.
Britain Chevrolet intends to build a 17,000 square foot facility on about seven acres at the site and will work with the city's staff to provide a master concept plan of the larger tract/
One major hurdle which needs to be addressed is the lack of water and sewer access to the property, as the nearest connections are almost 2,000 feet away.

It was great to see that the new machine will be getting games like Assassin's Creed, Darksiders II, Arkham City, Ghost Recon etc. But it would have been nice to have *something* Nintendo to get us all proper frothy at the mouth. What Nintendo does have at the show, however, is a Zelda HD tech demo. And it's pure beautiful. Focus your eyes upon it via the medium of shaky-cam footage:
