Top chefs tickle taste buds in regional competition
4:04pm Tuesday 30th October 2012 in News
Top chefs across the region have served up a treat in the South West Chef of the Year 2012 competition.
Last night (Monday), an awards ceremony took place at ABode in Exeter honouring this year's winners.
Michael Tweedie, junior sous chef from Lucknam Park, in Bath took the South West Chef of the Year title in the professional class and Elly Wentworth, demi chef de partie of The Manor Hotel in Castle Combe, won the young professional class.
Both winners beat a selection of other hopefuls in a series of culinary events which took place over two months.
Head judge, Michael Caines MBE, said: "The quality of this year's competition was the highest we have seen in the nine years since it began. The finals were extremely closely contested by some incredibly skillful chefs.
"This competition identifies some of the most talented chefs in the South West and highlights the quality of the region's hospitality industry."

some ideas for SETT

I really liked the Archives on the past Tynan site. Reading through all the old posts would be rather difficult in this new setup.
I noticed there's no website URL for commenter's profile now which is how I came across a lot of other interesting people, would be nice to put in.
The singular emphasis on posts on the frontpage is good for existing users but might be off putting for new people. Where's the About? Where's the popular posts? Aka a sidebar.

Magic Mike is FINALLY hitting theaters this weekend! Oh my GAWD.
After months of drooling over every leaked bare chest, fireman costume and body role (Joe Manganiello has nailed this move!)--the movie that will unite all women in a fit of nervous giggles is here at long last.
Why am I so excited for this film? No, it's not going to be this year's The Artist, but you know what it will be?
A chance for us ladies to ogle at super hot guys for like, 90 whole entire uninterrupted minutes! Since basically every other film made EVER has a hot woman in it, I know most of our hubbies won't understand what the big deal is. Don't let them rain on your parade, chicas. Just gather up your BFF and tell your man you'll be home after he goes to bed.
Then head to the theaters and afterwards to a bar so you can relive all of your favorite moments...again!
Oh, and I actually heard from a bunch of folks who have seen advanced screenings that the film is really good. Eh, I know--who cares right? Here are the top 10 reasons you should, no, you need to go see Magic Mike this weekend:

The Presidential and Parliamentary elections held in 2007 were widely considered free and fair despite sporadic violence. The security situation is improving; however, the interim law enforcement support provided by UNMIT Police and the security assistance provided by the International Stabilization Force (ISF) remain necessary. Timor-Leste is slowly recovering from the security and humanitarian crisis caused by the unrest during April and May 2006. However, the absence of durable solutions for thousands of internally displaced people living in camps, and the presence of a small but well-armed group of ex-military and police operating in the countryside are sources of instability. Poverty, high unemployment, especially among youth, and inadequate access to basic services are priority issues requiring concerted action by both the Government and the international community. State and civil society institutions are still faced with serious capacity problems. More ...

The Centerstone Research Institute (CRI) is a not-for-profit organization which exists to improve the quality and effectiveness of care for individuals and families facing behavioral health disorders. Research shows an alarming 13–17 year delay between significant treatment breakthroughs and the standard use of those treatments in clinical settings. This means that a young person diagnosed with depression may have to struggle for 15 years before receiving optimal treatment already known today. CRI aims to bridge this gap between science and service, so the 33 million Americans seeking help for behavioral health disorders receive the most effective care without delay.
Through its work, CRI's vision is to create a future where all individuals and families facing behavioral health disorders receive exceptional care grounded in mental and physical whole-person wellness. The team at CRI pursues this through the acceleration of research, technology, and clinical innovation, balancing technology with humanity to enhance the quality of care while enriching the patient experience. In fiscal year 2013, CRI's clinical research office facilitated 19 ongoing and 11 new studies that involved 4,473 study participants. Research projects conducted at Centerstone clinics/sites involved 27 investigators located at 18 institutions including Indiana, Vanderbilt, Harvard, and Northwestern universities.

This curried chicken casserole (from Atlanta's Watershed) is a Southern Lowcountry classic.
After long days of making pastries and rich foods in the SAVEUR test kitchen, our team craves lunches that are bright, flavorful, and not too heavy. This winter salad, put together by intern Farideh Sadeghin, combines some of the best cold-weather flavors—kale, orange, and pumpkin seeds—with sweet honey and airy ricotta.
No need for rolling out this pie dough; just press it into place before baking for a lightly sweet, shortbread-like crust that can be used with any filling of your choice.
All along the grey and November-cold East Coast, this is the meal we most look forward to setting the family china out for each year: a perfectly roasted turkey, surrounded by a bevy of simple and comforting American sides. This is a feast to please a multi-generational crowd, without any options left off the table.
One of Elvis's favorite sweets was the pound cake made by his childhood friend Janelle McComb. Every year at Christmas, she'd bake two loaves and bring them to Graceland.
This combination is autumn on a slice of bread: sourdough spread with rich apple butter, topped with slices of mild smoked gouda and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
Super crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside, these two-bite party snacks are a great way to use up leftover holiday ham, and they pair well with a dry white wine.
In this take on a traditional Sephardic Jewish dish, culupidia frita con limón, cauliflower are coated in a flour and egg batter, fried, and then bathed in lemon juice.
Like a brownie in shape and texture, blondies are packed with all the brown sugar and butterscotchy goodness of chocolate chip cookies, but softer and more substantial.
Richer and more flavorful than chicken breasts, thighs lend themselves beautifully to almost any chicken preparation.
Italian sausage and creamy Camembert cheese transform simple cornmeal spoon pudding into a rich side dish.
A combination of all-purpose and potato flours gives this simple summer tart a delicate, crumbly crust.

Help on Horizon for Cats With Arthritis
Anti-inflammatory drug meloxicam provided pain relief, but not from petting, in study
FRIDAY, Feb. 22 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers say they have found a way to diagnose and treat osteoarthritis in cats.
The researchers, from the University of Montreal, examined 120 cats and found that 39 had osteoarthritis. The team established methods to evaluate how much arthritis-related pain the cats had and how the disease affected their movement.
Next, the researchers tested the anti-inflammatory drug meloxicam and found that it provided various levels of pain relief depending on dosage levels. Cats that were given the highest dosage of the drug for four weeks continued to have pain relief for five weeks after they stopped receiving the drug, which caused no side effects.
Although meloxicam provided pain relief for cats with osteoarthritis, it did not reduce pain associated with touch, such as petting, according to the study, which was published Feb. 13 in the journal Research in Veterinary Science.
Meloxicam is already used to treat other animals. In April, the European Medicines Agency will consider the use of meloxicam in cats.
More than 80 percent of cats older than 11 years have osteoarthritis, which frequently affects their elbows, backs, hips and joints in the hind limbs, according to lead study author Eric Troncy. Cats with arthritis may become less active, be reluctant to jump and suffer pain when being petted.
"Despite the fact that cats are the most popular pet in North America, nobody had found a way to easily diagnose and treat cat osteoarthritis," Troncy said in a university news release.
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in humans.
More information
The U.S. National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases has more about osteoarthritis.

These street thugs stick people up and shoot rival gang members. That´s breaking the law right there! Does anyone really think ANOTHER law about their weapon of choice will cause them to moderate their anti-social behavior? If so, why??
There are 2 motives behind removing firearms from ordinary citizens. First, it makes it much easier for the government to have their way with them. Second, it makes it more likely that helpless, terrorized citizens will approve the coming police state. The verbiage is just cover for the easily led.
It isn´t guns...it is the youngsters they have running around nowadays. Those "kids" (and I am talking about young adults too) have NO respect for life anymore. Even my friends who came from the older generations of Oakland were telling me that they are afraid of the "youngsters" now. It used to be that I could walk around anywhere in town and feel quite comfortable. I haven´t hung around there for a few years since most of my friends there have died or moved away, but the few times I´ve gone back to visit my friends, I have been very apprehensive. The youngsters look at me like "what the hell is a white girl doing here?" and they give me the suspicious eye like I am a cop or something. It was never like that 6-7 years ago. But I did feel the changing atmosphere. I guess I didn´t want to believe it was getting as bad as Los Angeles.
"These kids are scared, and that´s why they´re carrying guns and knives too.I´d be scared, too, if I lived on the wrong side of the bars in the progressive built zoo called urban America.
The underlying problem is the deteriorating social structure. Unless that is addressed, the crime wave will continue more or less until no one lives there anymore.
Oakland is only getting what they deserve.
If only Jerry Brown was still Mayor.
My last jury summons was for the courthouse in Oakland. I wrote them back telling them I was to scared to go near that city. The previous weekend 7 people were murdered.....
It gets better. ApparentlyOakland´s listed as one of the best 50 cities in the US to live. Makes you wonder about #51.
The crime stats do not tell the story on naything but the most violent crimes.Policy in the state of CA is to releaase "non violent" offenders to save money. The average non violent ffender being released is, in facr, violence prone and has been involved in half dozen arrests, or so.Crimes such as breaking and entering, smash and grabs are seldom reported due to the farcical response when one contacts the police department. Leave anything showing in a car and the wndow will be smashedd in and items taken. THe gutters are lttered with safety glass.They no longer pretend to have any interest unless chalk is needed (to outline the body.)
Crime is increasing everywhere under Obama and democrats. With a leadership with no morals, no ethics, and thumbing their noses at the constitution and law, many unemployed and don´t care, crime is skyrocketing.
Don´t you believe it. There is no crime and there are no guns in California. How could there be? The laws forbid both.
Things are definitely bad in Oakland. But they could easily be worse.For example, if Oakland went officially broke, the city would lay off police and firemen before they would lay off diversity coordinators and community organizers.All you have to do is look at nearby Stockton to see the effects those changes would cause. Crime is rampant there and the drug cartels have all set up their CA headquarters there since there´s no real police presence. Life is tough when you screw up so badly that Wells Fargo repossesses your City Hall...
Tired of crime?Move.

This exercise, or finger twister, is a moveable arpeggio pattern, but it will be in G major for this exercise. The first measure is an ascending I chord/arpeggio of the major scale, which extended out (1 3 5 7), is a major 7th chord/arpeggio, which is a G major 7th chord/arpeggio (G,B D,F#).
For those who might not be familiar with intervals, we'll start by reviewing the core concept. The term sounds kind of advanced, but an "interval" simply refers to the distance between two notes, while a harmonic interval is when you play two notes at the same time.
In this first lesson, you'll learn how to use 7th and 7#11 arpeggios to outline the tritone sub in a ii V I chord progression, allowing you to take your soloing chops up a notch and begin to create lines in the same vibe as your favorite jazz guitarists at the same time.
This new section is great for beginners since there is nothing too challenging, technique-wise. The majority of this section is straight quarter notes, which, even at 160 bpm, is very easy. The only challenge is memorizing all of the arpeggio shapes, which is also a great exercise, particularly for beginners.
Of the myriad contributions Jimi Hendrix has made to the lexicon of modern guitar, one of the most enduring is the legendary "Hendrix chord." The chord, an E7#9, was definitely nothing new when Hendrix famously used it in "Purple Haze" (Jazz and R&B guitarists used it extensively, and the Beatles featured it years earlier on "Taxman"), but its use by Jimi inspired its use by generations of guitarists in a wide range of styles.
In this video, Guitar World's Jimmy Brown shows you how to play "Jingle Bell Rock." Brown goes over several different arrangements of the song, from basic to more involved. Then he covers the melody line. Then you see him play the melody over the chords.

Titanic marks our 100th video. I wish it was officially our 100th HISHE, but we've still got a few more to go for that title. Either way, I am very excited to see that Titanic landed on such a landmark of our production. People will think we planned it that way all along, but it really just sort of lined up after Avengers that way. Pretty awesome coincidence. Okay, lets talk about this short:
Titanic is a touchy subject, so we wanted to keep the short about Jack and Rose as much as possible rather than the story about the ship. Jack and Rose are the problem, well Rose more than Jack, but what can you do :) If you think about it, Rose is the reason Jack dies. In the movie, Rose jumps back on the ship which puts her in the water with Jack, which causes Jack to have to go the extra mile to keep her alive, which puts Jack on the side of the floating debris instead of on top of it, which makes him freeze but she gets to go on living. But not just go on living, she goes on while hiding this priceless jewel the rest of her life even though it is said she would be ruined financially if she didn't marry Cal. So not only does Rose cause the man she loves to die, she also hoards the most likely source of income (which she has zero attachment to because it was from a man she hated) just to toss back into the ocean decades later. Why not sell that thing to someone?! You probably need the money since you are pretending to be dead and abandoning your family. Or why not give it to the ship crew who's currently doing research on the Titanic? They flew you out here to get answers, maybe give it to someone of proper authority! Nope, she's gonna wait till she's super old then chunk in in the ocean... Show'd you Cal! That'll teach you to buy a girl something super expensive, oh wait, you've been dead for like 80 years.... WHAT? So when Jack says "You're so Stupid Rose!" We think that has more meaning than intended.
But regardless of Rose being super unrealistic, Titanic is an amazing film, and I am so thrilled to see our own short finally come to completion as our 100th Video. The credits are:
Tina Alexander: Wrote the short with me and put up with a lot of production stress.
Otis Frampton: Superb Artist! His drawings were far more than what I would have been able to produce and he also gets credit for the Avatar scene at the end.
Stephanie Fisher: Killer voice on Rose. She always brings her best to the table and I'm always surprised how she can sound like so many leading ladies.
Brock Baker: Excellent performance of angry Jack. You'd think he and Stephanie recorded their lines in the same take, but they didn't.
Daniel Baxter: I think I did some descent snazzy animation (pats self on back) :-)~
and Bryan English: for nailing the soundtrack in ways I can't describe. Bryan has been unavailable for a while, so having him on Titanic was a sweet treat.
So like I said, this short brings nothing but satisfaction to me. Looking back on all the things we've gotten to spoof over the years and seeing all the old and new hands that have joined us to make them better and better... It's very satisfying, and humbling. So I hope you enjoyed it.
Nice one. I'm glad this was finally done. Congratulations on the 100th video.
It would have also been fun to see something about them both being able to possibly fit on the piece of floating wood at the end, and Jack wanting to try but then Rose is all like "nope, sorry, just room for one" when obviously there's room for two.
And once again you guys made a great HISHE. Congratulations on your 100th video! I hope many more are to be made.
oooooo 100 vids! there are so many its hard to choose my fav! congrats titanic totally rocked
Mercy. That artwork is absolutely beautiful. Congratulations on 100 quality videos. I absolutely love everyone of them.
Watching Titanic on the big screen again, I felt a surge of nostalgia sweep through me. Great movies have a timeless quality to them, and Titanic is nothing if not a great movie.By converting the film into 3D for this re-release, Cameron intends for Titanic to be an even more immersive experience. http://www.moviezadda.com/04102012/titanic-3d-review-an-amazing-3d-exper...

Seeing that then, a substantial number of people all around everyone have bought sets of uggs, whether or not it is as Aussie souvenir items, trend announcement, or most ordinarily, for their standard convenience and amusement.
No matter if or not in all likelihood ugg boots will get as synonymous alongside with the Australian life-style and on top of that lifestyle as other sorts of Australian symbols a great deal like the kangaroo, the didgeridoo and additionally Vegemite sandwiches is nonetheless that should really be found, but a factor is for of course, this is a Australian way of life accessory that the relaxation of the environment is loving even despite the fact that Australians do.

Contracts for about 40,000 unionized AT&T landline workers represented by the Communications Workers of America expired over the weekend. Four divisions are governed by separate contracts; 9,000 AT&T Mobility workers ratified a new contract last week.
The landline workers had voted March 31 to authorize a strike if new contracts weren't reached, but they have continued reporting to work under the terms of the now-expired contracts as negotiations continue:
"We're committed to continuing to work together with the union to reach an agreement that will allow us to continue to provide and protect" jobs, Marty Richter, a spokesman for AT&T, said in an e-mail after 5 p.m. [Sunday.]
On a call late last week with members:
[CWA Vice President Seth] Rosen summed up the goals of all four negotiations: "We have a very clear common goal that when it is all added up — wages, benefits, the complete package — that every single member, from the lowest paid to the highest, will be better off at the end of the contract than he or she was at the beginning."
As is usual in negotiations these days, health care costs are at issue, as well as scheduling and job security questions.

It seems to be an issue affecting wider services and not just PSN (SEN...) which I guess is understandable given the pretty unified structure.
I rented Tinker Tailor from Video Unlimited via my Bravia last night, the payment went through and whenever I attempt to stream it I just get a short error message. I expected it to be fixed by this morning

I'm having same problem.
Rented Super 8 abt 15 mins ago and i cant access it as it wont let me download it.
Download list is empty(for some stupid reason) and im getting the same error code,80023102.
***** is happening abt this,does Sony know abt it and are they trying to fix this??
Theyve taken the money but no product is available to me!!!!!
Im not a happy camper.

I understand that it's inconvenient but as far as I know they're working on it and CS will have a record of your transactions so if you give them a bell they'll make sure you're not out of pocket.

Although the band didn't form until after the eviction of Occupy Portland, the beginning of the band was apparent at the Occupy Encampment. Sam Gustafson and Justin James Bridges met at Occupy Portland and became good friends at the camp, waking up in the morning to play whatever songs came to mind, & developing a sound together. They unknowingly started the spark that would later ignite in to a 10 piece jam band, settle, and reform as the 5 piece, multi-genre, good time known as Patchwork Family Band. All 5 members of PFB play multiple instruments adding to the diversity, along with a unique, but strangely familiar, eclectic sound.
Patchwork Family Band was formed out of the ashes of Occupy Portland. On November 13, 2011, (N13) Justin James Bridges was acting as the interpreter for the deaf for the General Assembly Meeting taking place in Chapman Square (downtown Portland, Oregon), when the police moved in to evict the encampment. Justin was assaulted by the police, an act that left him unable to use his right arm and right leg and confined him to a wheelchair. Luckily, he regained use of his thumb on Christmas Eve and was able to start picking again. After six and a half months, Justin regained use of his right arm and hand, allowing him to start returning to his previous speed-picking style.
Since the formation of the band in early January 2012, they have played in Oregon (Portland, Eugene, & Salem), Washington (Seattle), California (Eureka, San Francisco, & Santa Cruz), & Texas (Austin, Houston, San Marcos, & Galveston). With no sign of slowing down, keep an eye out for Patchwork Family Band to come to your town.
Patchwork Family is:
Jaimason – drums
Mermaid – flute, harmonica, guitar, vocals
Sam Gustafson – guitar, vocals
Renaissance – bass, vocals
Justin James Bridges – guitar, vocals

Previous Letter (by date) |
My dear Sir
I write you once more from this city. The River is impassable, and has prevented my sitting out. We hope however that the Rain may clear it. I sent Townsend of to day; I have heard some of the democratic rejoicing such as Ringing Bells and fireing cannon. What an inconsistancy said a Lady to me to day, the Bells of Christ Church ringing peals of rejoicing for an Infidel President! The people of this city have evidently been in terror, least their Swineish Herd should rise in rebellion and seize upon their property and share the plunder amongst them; they have permitted them really to overawe them; I foresee some day or other that N England will be obliged to march their militia to preserve this very State from destruction.
There is great uneasiness with the Merchants. They say the Senate by rejecting the article in the convention to which they have excepted, have plunged them into great difficultys, that they know not what to do, that a better convention as it respects Commerce could not have been made and why it should be hazarded by the Senate they cannot conceive. The difference Mr. Breck told me it would make to this Country in one Year, would be nine Millions of dollars. The Chamber of Commerce meet this Evening and send off an express tomorrow to the Senators of this State, hopeing that something may yet be done; that the President may be requested to return the convention to the Senate with his reasons, and by
I could not help smiling when Mr. Breck told me he had conversed with Mr. Wolcott, but could get no satisfaction, only Mr. Wolcott said that there was no faith to be placed in French promisses, treaties or conventions.
I shall leave this city tomorrow. I believe there is scarcely a Lady who ever came to the drawing Room but has visited me, either old or young, and very many Gentlemen; as to a return of their visits, they cannot expect it; I believe they have made a point of it. Who publishd my arrival in the papers I know not, but the next morning by ten oclock rainy as it was, they began to come and have continued it by throngs ever since. I thank them for their attention and politeness, tho I shall never see them again.
Adieu my dear Friend. I wish you well through the remainder of your political journey. I want to see the list of judges. Pray tell all who inquire after me
With Love to William

text: Columns is an action puzzle game that has you manipulating groups of three connected jewels in order to create matches horizontally, diagonally, or vertically. Each match of three or more will remove the colorful gems from the playing field, as additional columns fall from the top of the screen. Create combo chains to improve your high score and advance to more challenging, faster-paced levels. In addition to the main play mode, where you attempt to clear jewels for as long as possible before the columns eventually block the top of the screen, a "Flash Columns" option is included that involves solving puzzles by removing a flashing jewel before time expires. Columns features both solo and head-to-head play against a friend. Multiple difficulty settings and starting levels are included for a custom challenge. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

SCHOHARIE VALLEY (AP) -- Authorities say they've seized about 100 live cats from a rural upstate New York home where more than 60 felines were found dead.

Who says a farm only produces crops? This family-owned business has been operating for more than a decade on the original family farm, and all handmade items are still produced here. A retail showroom has been opened to keep up with the demand.
"Our big thing here is that we are family-owned and operated," owner John Gingerich said. "We're trying to give customers good quality at a fair price. We know they can trust us to do it right if they bring in a sketch of something they want, an idea in their head, or even a picture out of a magazine."
It's that kind of business motto that gives Prairie Lane Furniture an edge over the competition. Even with a store that is "off the beaten path," the positive comments and happy customers continue to make the business prosper.
The Amish business makes every piece of furniture in its showroom right on the farm.
In the 3,000-square-foot retail store, customers can find more than 100 different wood products. But the options do not end there.
Prairie Lane Furniture strives to provide customers with exactly what they want. One way they do that is to specialize in customized furniture that is many times difficult to find in other stores.
Shoppers are encouraged to personalize each piece by choosing the design, wood, stain or paint choice. After making these decisions, it takes about eight weeks for the products to be completed.

Beautiful table and chairs. We looked at a lot of places came back due to the workman ship on the table and chairs. the color of the woods used look so nice together. No other ones looks as nice as this. They even help pack the truck. I have the table and chairs home now and they look so nice in my kitchen. Excellent !!! So happy with my purchase.
Brian McPeak from Perrysburg, ohio - 03/20/2013 - 02:28 pm
I looked all over for a unique, well made entertainment center to serve as the focal point of my room. I stumbled upon Prairie Lane...boy am I glad I did!
Great workmanship, excellent service. John went out of his way to custom design and build a remarkable statement of furniture. I can't wait to go back to get other rooms and pieces. What a find!
S. Thomas from Olmsted Falls, Ohio - 03/11/2013 - 08:58 am
My husband and I had a bathroom vanity made at Praire Lane Furniture. We love it. I am sure we will buy there again.

In a letter dated Aug. 3, Marietta attorney Lance LoRusso informs the city his client will seek an "immediate injunction" in Cherokee County Superior Court against the city, City Manager Scott Wood and Police Chief Robert Merchant.
Vande Zande had been given a choice to resign or have his employment terminated by Monday, but he was ultimately fired by Merchant, said City Attorney Bobby Dyer.
Dyer said the termination was done in person by Merchant and that Wood had no say in the status of Vande Zande's employment.
"I don't want to comment any further on that if there's a threat of a lawsuit," Dyer said.
LoRusso did not return calls for comment.
As of press time, no filing had been submitted to the Cherokee County Superior Court clerk's office.
LoRusso in the letter on behalf of his client also asks the city to hand over laptops, computers, cellphones, emails and text messages pertaining to Vande Zande, Wood and Merchant.
Vande Zande has been mired in controversy since he was named interim police chief in January after the resignation of Jeff Lance.
According to the letter, the ultimatum given to Vande Zande stems from a request Wood asked the former assistant chief to perform. The letter alleges Wood asked Vande Zande, who was then acting as interim chief, to conduct a background check into a citizen "without a lawful reason to do so."
It also references a traffic stop that put the city in the metro Atlanta news media spotlight.
Wood was pulled over by former Canton officer Daniel Henley on March 15 after leaving a City Council meeting.
The latter half of the video of Henley pulling over Wood following a four-hour meeting at City Hall contains no audio, which raised questions on whether the officer gave preferential treatment to Wood. Wood insisted he didn't ask for preferential treatment, and Vande Zande told the Tribune that Henley didn't follow proper protocol when he turned off the audio. He also defended Henley's actions.
Henley later resigned his post with Canton, and also criticized Vande Zande as willing to do "anything" to be named the next police chief.
The letter also alleges Wood later "admonished" Vande Zande when he didn't perform the background check and criticized the interim chief for not being loyal to him. Vande Zande, according to the letter, later informed Mayor Gene Hobgood and the Canton City Council of the conversation, and Wood was subsequently placed on probation.
He raised questions about the process of the police chief search after overhearing a conversation between Wood and Cherokee County Sheriff Roger Garrison in which Vande Zande was a topic of discussion.
Wood had said it wasn't unusual for city managers to reach out to other law enforcement officials to inquire about candidates for police chief positions.
Hobgood said he didn't want to comment on the letter and the threat of litigation, but added the issue could be addressed during the council's Aug. 16 meeting.
"It is a serious issue and it must be taken seriously," he said, adding he thinks the circumstances surrounding the letter will come out "as time goes on."

UFO's over Farmingdale?
One Farmingdale man caught a strange sight in the sky just after the ball dropped in Times Square to usher in 2012.
This YouTube video shows unexplained lights in the night sky over the Long Island community.
Russ Maiorana, who lives along Motor Ave. in Farmingdale, counted seven orbs pass by after midnight Jan. 1, 2012. And as he claims in the video – which has been watched nearly 45,000 times and picked up by UFO aficionados – these are not Chinese lanterns.
Does this video show alien spacecraft gliding over Farmingdale? Or is it something else? You decide.
Which begs the question: What's the strangest thing you've ever seen?

There's something about the kind of potent rock and roll fury that Airbourne cranks out, all cylinders firing, that makes you want to chug a beer straight down your throat and punch the air as though it'd touched your wife inappropriately. It sounds crude, we admit. But that's the thing about these Aussie pub rock rebels. Their music, like new album No Guts. No Glory., are perfect soundtracks for drunken debauchery, and "that's what we're here for, mate," says rowdy lead guitarist and vocalist Joel O'Keeffe.
Inspired by the likes of Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy, Angel City, Rose Tattoo, AC/DC and Motorhead, Airbourne have been waving the rock and roll flag for Australia since 2003, and in the process, winning fans and awards, like the one they took home in 2008 from the Metal Hammer Golden Gods, where the band's album Runnin' Wild was named the year's Best Debut Album. They hail from Warrnambool, a small drinking town on the southwestern coast of Victoria, Australia, and they've steadily gained an immense following among fans of infectious, high energy, whiskey-soaked, whiplash-inducing working man's rock. The band's new album is a mandatory addition to any self-respecting jukebox's library.
Airbourne traveled to the Windy City to record No Guts. No Glory. with producer Johnny K, who has worked with Disturbed, Machine Head, Staind, and 3 Doors Down, among others. Like Runnin' Wild, No Guts. No Glory. continues that good time vibe, but ultimately, according to Ryan, the record is about "standing up and going for it, and being a man. There's a tougher element to the album, so to speak."
No Guts. No Glory., the band's second LP for Roadrunner Records, was recorded live and straight to analog tape, and Airbourne essentially used the acoustics of the recording space as an impromptu instrument. "Instead of closing all the doors and keeping the sound all confined, we just left everything open, so the sound would bleed a bit more, so it sounds a bit more open than the last one," Joel explained. "That was one of the main differences. We just let it be open. We didn't care if the guitar solo bled through the bloody cymbal mikes. It's cool, because it adds to it."
The album's a virtual rock and roll buffet, boasting tracks like "No Way But The Hard Way" and "Blond, Bad and Beautiful." When the band lived together for three years on welfare in a Melbourne suburb, surviving on a steady diet of booze and barbecue, things were tough, and the band nearly burned their home to the ground- literally. "Nothing came easy, and we'd say to each other, 'Ain't no way but the hard way,'" recalls Ryan.
Airbourne will be touring for much of 2010 in support of No Guts. No Glory. and for the O'Keeffe brothers, it's the band's live performance that brings folks coming back for more. "We want to become that band that, people hear the name, and they know that they'll have a good time at the show," Joel explains. "They know what they're going to get. They're going to get rock and roll, and it's going to be loud, and they'll leave the concert with their ears ringing."

Health Dept: Flu Outbreak is 'Normal'
The Minnesota Department of Health says the state is in the midst of a severe influenza outbreak. According to the agency, Minnesota hospitals have reported more than 1,000 hospitalizations due to influenza like illness as well as 27 deaths.
"It is important to keep it in perspective that this is something that we anticipate happening every year," Edward Ehlinger of the Minnesota Department of Health said.
Out of all the folks in the hospital, 62 percent of them are over the age of 65, while 15 percent are under the age of 25.
The health department says the Metro and the South Central are the hardest hit areas in the state.
"The two current flavors of Influenza A or H1N1 and H3N2, H3N2 is the dominant Influenza A that is currently circulating in Minnesota," Ruth Lynfield, the State Epidemiologist said.
The sheer number of people getting the flu is stressing our health care system. Hospitals are changing staff patterns, opening up new areas to care for patients, sharing supplies and even transferring patients if necessary.
"The vaccine is not 100 percent effective but it is the best treatment preventive measure that we have," Ehlinger said.
The health department says they are more surprised over the last couple of mild years. They say the situation right now is the typical pattern they would normally see with seasonal flu.

Me No Pop Eye: The Pogues
Antonella Black, Sounds, 6 April 1985
SOMEBODY'S sprawled on the lime-green and purple carpet of the Hotel International in Birmingham town; legs a-kimbo, boots a-muddied, eyes a-crossed. Another victim of an alcohol induced coma. This somebody peers into the oh-so-shiny full length boudoir mirror and winces. It's me. Nobody, but nobody, escapes the wrath of the Pogues.

How was your April? Wet enough for you?
We really need rain at our house. It hasn't rained in nearly two hours and the geese are running out of water in the pond.
Of course, we're really not supposed to have a pond. But tell that to the small-mouth bass I caught!!!
Which gave you more April indigestion? Aunt Molly's Easter ham/cranberry/seaweed/tofu casserole surprise (the surprise is that there's no ham or cranberries) or doing your taxes?
I pride myself on three things in April --- not eating Aunt Molly's casserole, sneaking Easter candy from the kids and filing my tax return on April 15. This year, it was a whole different story --- I turned over a new leaf, because what I was doing just wasn't right.
This year, while enjoying my nephew's chocolate bunny (which was hollow, by the way. Come on, sister!), I was able to file my return on April 17.
Ah, April.
A guy named Bubba won the Masters when he hit a playoff shot that was as crooked as a politician. In this case, crooked was a good thing.
Can you name one other person on the planet named Bubba who could break 120? I'm sure there are several Bubbas who own green jackets for fancy occasions, their jackets just don't have the Masters logo on them or get you down Magnolia Lane.
Also, can you name another guy named Bubba who even owns golf shoes?
In the playoff, Bubba beat a guy named Louis. Bubba and Louis --- that's half of a bowling team. Where were Tiny and Lefty? Not sure about Tiny, but Lefty made like a 21 on a par-3 on Sunday and missed the playoff.
The St. Louis Blues won their first playoff series in 10 years, defeating the San Jose Sharks in five games. A Blues column --- with help (hopefully) from KRCG hockey expert Kermit Miller --- is coming soon.
In case you weren't sure, Kermit knows his pucks.
The St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals got their seasons underway and not much has changed. The Cardinals are good and the Royals wish they were the Cardinals.
Chris Carpenter and Lance Berkman basically haven't played all season for St. Louis. There are surprises in life, but Carpenter and Berkman being on the DL is not one of them.
To be sure, both are fabulous baseball players. But the only thing not fragile about them are their bank accounts.
Back on the scene is Adam Wainwright --- but he's 0-3 with an ERA hovering around Jupiter.
The Cardinals' other four starters, however, have looked like Hall of Famers --- a combined 13-2 with all four ERAs under 3 and three of them under 2, giving the team a comfortable lead in the NL Central.
Jon Jay is making the game look like slow-pitch softball with a batting average of .400 through Sunday. David Freese and Yadier Molina have been great, Rafael Furcal and Carlos Beltran have been good, and everybody else has been good enough.
Are you missing Albert? Entering Monday night, Pujols had as many home runs as St. Louis third base coach Jose Oquendo, Fredbird, the weird guy hanging around Walmart, you and me.
The answer? You are correct, weird guy at Walmart. Zero.
In addition, Pujols was hitting .216 with four RBI. What do you expect for $250 million, Los Angeles?
Back to Missouri ... the Kansas City Royals were mathematically eliminated on April 22. After recently winning three of four, that made them 3-13 in their last 16 games.
There's a great photo circulating, showing the Royals playing the Toronto Blue Jays in Kansas City. There's only one guy sitting in the front row and he's reading a book.
Obviously, it was Baseball for Dummies.
But the Royals joined the record books with the New York Yankees and that must be a good thing, right? Well, the Yankees lost 10 straight home games to start the season in 1913. On the 99th anniversary of that feat, the Royals tied it.
The Royals should put geese in the fountains to give the fans something to watch.
They can certainly borrow mine.
