in response to ProudOpinionatedParent:
My children previously attended school in SAISD as well as another city. My first grader came to TLCA BEHIND her classmates even though she made straight A's at her two previous schools. How was she behind? She couldn't read. I was told by her kindergarten teacher that she would learn this in first grade in SAISD. Apparently TLCA's kindergarteners learn earlier. In addition to my first grader behind in SAISD, they also received ZERO discipline. In the event that either child had homework that they neglected to turn in, they were assured that it was OK not to meet the deadline. They received no points off, no "harsh" talking to, nothing. If I'm not mistaken, missing a deadline in the "real world" will cause a person to lose their job. No wonder our society is having a hard time finding hard working citizens within the younger generation. We are TEACHING them that it is OK to procrastinate and be lazy.
I love TLCA. They have pushed my children more than public school ever did. They require them to wear uniforms, follow rules, have homework, and they actually have EXPECTATIONS. They also EXPECT parents to be involved in their child's education. Oh, the horror. I am required to actually participate in my child's education.
Another way TLCA teachers are different from SAISD is simply their demeanor. Every single time I picked up my children from and elementary within SAISD, the staff was extremely rude, evasive, and looked exhausted...mentally and physically. They simply did not look HAPPY to be teaching my child. This rubs off on children. At TLCA, I am ALWAYS met with a SMILE. Do you know how nice that is? To see a teacher that looks "put together" with a smile on her face? That says that their teachers LOVE their job. This rubs off on kids.
As far as the special education student not being admitted....I would imagine that this is simply due to staffing requirements. Special education students require specialized attention. Depending on the level of need, a charter school may simply not be able to provide the necessary education that child needs. I'm sure it is nothing personal. They are denying the child admission to allow the child a better opportunity.
SAISD needs a major rehaul. They should start with enforcing discipline. My child will never attend SAISD again. I will homeschool all three of them before that happens. It isn't anything against the teachers. They are so run down because administration is placing them under unwarranted stress. Teachers are getting the BLAME for everything a student does wrong. What happened to holding students accountable for their own actions? What about parents? Stop ENABLING these kids. They are MUCH, MUCH smarter than they are given credit for.
As far as Bonds' salary is concerned, they have to pay her more because she is a television star. They must include her TV appearances in her salary.
Thank you! I agree with everything you posted.

It's me Snickers today. Butchy is still in PA with Lacie & Scruffy. They went to football games all weekend. I had to stay home with Mama cause she was working on my Halloween costume.
Here is the history of my costume. It all started when Mama & Papa went garage sailing & found a girl's pawty dress that had a stain on it for 25 cents! It has peach glittery mesh fabric that shines really cool in the light. So Mama decided she would figure out a costume that she could make out of this for me. It's a straight line dress so there wasn't much for fabric. Mama thought maybe she could make me a Peach Mermaid costume. So, she started making the costume & when it was almost complete, decided that she DID NOT like it.
Ya know what she had the nerve to do??? She tore it all apart. I about died. Now what was I going to do with no costume. Well, Mama did some more thinking & decided she could make me a Fairy with Wings costume. So that's what she made. But now she's disappointed cause the glittery shiny fabric doesn't show at all in the pictures & photos don't do it justice at all. Bummer! Oh well. At least I have a costume.
So, here are pics of my costume. The first 2 pictures show my front view & a top/side view so you can see the wings.
Now Mama decided to play around with her photo software & turn me into a Fairy of different colors. The first 2 photos are my favorite, cause I glow in the dark.
Or how about purple, Mama's favorite color:
Or maybe ORANGE! Asta & Eric's favorite color:
Or mint green:
Here I look like a lemon:
Or lilac:
How bout blue???
Or chartreuse???
So pals, what do you think? What color looks best on me??? Let me know in your comments.
Wirey Hugs!

Are you sure ur goin' steady with Gussie, Miss Snickers?
You look pawsitively smashing in that outfit and we would love to to trick or treatin' with you. We're pretty sure Gus would either kill us or sit on us...which would probably have the same result.
Butchy has been very good here as our houseguest. It's so cute the way you've trained him to stand on top of the kitchen table when he eats and to knock over lamps and such. Does he usually eat 5 cups of kibble at a time? It's amazin' to watch him tuck into his feed.
Mumsie put him with Stan and me in the boyz room to sleep. But every mornin' we find him just outside of Lacie's crate. He said she whines in her sleep and needs comforting. Mmm Hmm.
He parked the plane on the street. It now has a big fat parkin' ticket on it.
Is he really not housebroken???
I mean, we have these hooge plants in the family room and he....well, never mind.
Gotta run...Lacie's coming...
Scruffy and Babystan
Miss Mama....Lacie here...do not believe one word of what those stoopid boyz wrote...cept that Snicker's costume is DIVINE!!!!!!
I am totally jelly!!!!!
Love you lots...
Do you need Butchy to come home? He's fine here. - October 20, 2008 12:59 PM

My Dear Miss S...you look beautiful in all the colors, but I do like the pink better than the rest. Next to that, maybe the pawple? Anyway, you are lovely and almost as talented as your mama.

Hi Snickers and Butchy! I love your fairy costume. It is too difficult to choose a favorite color because they all look so awesome! Your Mom is very creative with her designs!!!
I heard from JB that your Mom bought some ribbons for you. Hee hee! I will have to check your blog to see what great color combo she chose. I am sure they will look awesome on you two! Are they solid colors or patterned? - October 20, 2008 11:26 PM

Oh, by the way, my Mom is always kicking herself when she remembers how Asta's Mom donated her painting to Casper's Medical Fun, BUT my Mom didn't bid on it! She wishes she had bid on it. She looks at the (still) empty place on the wall where the painting would have gone. Asta's Mom does such a wonderful work. You guys are so lucky to have such a beautiful work of art, of yourselves! It is nice seeing it in the banner of your blog :-) It is something to be truly cherished.

Sometimes a common theme seems to pop up and take over at times in terms of writing a column on a sector for some 20-plus years, and this month it seems to be the changing view of the optimum size of cattle.
The Yorkton summer fair a couple of weeks ago brought the moderation in the size of beef cattle into focus for me.
It was following the fair I wrote about how show judges at the exhibition were not automatically looking at the biggest animal in the show ring for the red ribbon.
It was at the Regional 4-H Beef Show at the Ex� , Judge Gerry Bertholet talked about moderate frames in his comments, and in heifer classes big females were not always class winners over more moderate-sized ones.
And the�Saskatchewan Angus Gold show judge Garner Deobold remarked in an interview with this writer about how big might have been the key to winning a decade ago, but it was no longer automatic. He said while small cattle don�t have the efficiencies needed by the industry, and suggested in some situations big can work, moderation is where the industry is now focused.
However, there has at times been a disconnect between what judges look for in the show ring, and what works best on the farm.
In this case that may well be why this recent trend is rather interesting because ranchers seem to have already come to the conclusion a more moderate-sized cow may well be the more profitable.
Ivan Olynyk for one, is a producer who thinks smaller is better.
Olynyk used to run purebred red Angus and while he sold out his herd a few years ago, he did not stay out of the business, purchasing a few cows to run on a quarter section of grass he has divided into small grass cells allowing for rotational grazing.
Olynyk said he believes the trend toward bigger cows and calves was made because there was cheap barley through the years to feed them. That is no longer the case, and as cereal crops have risen in value, with a likelihood they will stay higher than in the past, cattleman have to turn back to grass.
With an eye to maximizing grass Olynyk said he had always been interested in seeing just how efficient pasture could be by utilizing rotational grazing, the reason fenced 30 paddocks on the quarter section.
Olynyk next went looking for some smaller framed cows, ones he thought might fit better into a low maintenance system, settling on some belted-Galloway weighing it at about 1000-pounds.
�The Galloway go out and graze a couple of hours, then sit down and ruminate,� he said. �The big cows (from the stockyards) have to graze longer.�
The smaller cows will not produce the same calf of larger cows, but Olynyk said gross dollars are not the key to profitability.
�It�s not how much you get in town at the end, but how much it cost to get there,� he said.
And that is of course the key, controlling input costs and maximizing returns, and that is where grass and smaller cows can shine.

You are right. However, the MPI library should make sure that the processes schedule their communication in the best possible way. If it makes a difference on a multi-NIC system (and the MPI library should know better than the user), it should make sure that i.e. each process always uses the same NIC for small messages. This depends much on the platform and thus should not be coded in the application, but in the platform-dependent MPI library. > the sched_setaffinity interface seems simple enough, but if using it makes > a big difference, then IMO you've found a scheduler bug. certainly the > normal scheduler will not move processes around willy-nilly... I've seen large differences in benchmarks when running MPI (MP-MPICH) on Windows NT4 on dual-SMP machines w/ or w/o process binding. This was some years ago, though.

Deadly Blessing
Deadly Blessing, a disappointing effort from famed horror-film director Wes Craven, tells the story of a woman's fight against a religious cult which will not stop at murder. Martha (Maren Jensen) lives alone near a conservative, repressive religious cult led by Isaiah (Ernest Borgnine). Martha's husband was murdered under mysterious circumstances after he left the cult. Martha and her two visiting friends Vicky (Susan Buckner) and Lana (Sharon Stone) find themselves being pressured to live in the area and they begin having nightmares and accidents. Soon more murders begin, and the woman fear for their lives. Craven gets good performances from his cast and bases his plot on the interesting premise of persecution and retribution, but the unsatisfying and implausible ending ruins what suspense he has built. While on the whole, the film is a failure, it has outstanding cinematography by Robert Jessup and a beautiful score composed by James Horner. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

Adapted by Horton Foote from his own television play, A Trip to Bountiful is set in 1947 Houston. Forced by circumstances to live her loathsome son (John Heard) and daughter-in-law (Carlin Glynn), elderly Geraldine Page wants nothing more out of life than to return to her home town of Bountiful. Escaping from her family's clutches, Page boards a bus to Bountiful, where she makes the acquaintance of young Rebecca DeMornay. The two women immediately hit it off, and their trip is a most pleasant one. Eventually, sheriff Richard Bradford, ordered to find Page and bring her back to her family, catches up with the old woman just 12 miles from Bountiful. Feeling sorry for Page, Bradford permits her to complete her sentimental journey, even though he knows full well that Bountiful is now a ghost town of empty ruins and dilapidated shacks. It doesn't matter, though: Page sees Bountiful just as it was when she left it, and for the first time in years she is truly happy and at peace with herself. After several near-misses, Geraldine Page finally won an Academy Award for A Trip to Bountiful (incidentally, the original TV production, which still exists in kinescope form, starred Lillian Gish and Eva Marie Saint). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Made for British television, Yuri Nosenko, KGB stars Oleg Rudnik in the title role. Based on a true story, the film concerns Nosenko's defection to the west in 1964. To make certain that he hasn't been sent to the US as a Russian "mole", Nosenko is subject to a grueling interrogation, headed by American agent Steve Daley (Tommy Lee Jones). The script is derived from the actual transcripts of that interrogation, together with contemporary interviews and newspaper articles. Whenever a gap in the continuity arises, the filmmakers do an admirable job supplying speculative dialogue. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Written by playwright Bill Bozzone, Full Moon in Blue Water stars Gene Hackman as Floyd, the owner of a small bar in a coastal Texas town. Floyd's emotional baggage is awesome: he has never recovered from the death of his wife, he is saddled with his senile father "The General" (Burgess Meredith), and creditors hound him at his fireside. Good-hearted bus driver Louise (Teri Garr) tries her best to offer moral and financial support, as does Floyd's right-hand man, former mental patient Jimmy (Elias Koteas). Strange and unexpected events follow, the upshot of which may leave Floyd even worse off than before. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Blood Red
Siblings Eric Roberts and Julia Roberts appear in this old-fashioned saga about oppressed Sicilian wine-growers in 19th-century California. Giancarlo Giannini stars as Sebastian Collogero, the robust Italian patriarch who is battling with railroad mogul William Bradford Berrigan (Dennis Hopper) to prevent his land from being taken over by the rail company. Sebastian's spirited son, Marco (Eric Roberts), is in love with Angelica (Lara Harris), the daughter of a rival wine-grower's clan. Marco is not very concerned about the warfare about to erupt between the wine-growers and the railroad until Berrigan's thugs torture and kill Sebastian in front of his daughter Maria (Julia Roberts). Marco then gets his friends together and organizes a revolt against Berrigan and his railroad empire. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Robin Williams toned down his usually manic comic approach in this successful period drama. In 1959, the Welton Academy is a staid but well-respected prep school where education is a pragmatic and rather dull affair. Several of the students, however, have their thoughts on the learning process (and life itself) changed when a new teacher comes to the school. John Keating (Williams) is an unconventional educator who tears chapters of his textbooks and asks his students to stand on their desks to see the world from a new angle. Keating introduces his students to poetry, and his free-thinking attitude and the liberating philosophies of the authors he introduces to his class have a profound effect on his students, especially Todd (Ethan Hawke), who would like to be a writer; Neil ( Robert Sean Leonard), who dreams of being an actor, despite the objections of his father; Knox (Josh Charles), a hopeless romantic; Steven (Allelon Ruggiero), an intellectual who learns to use his heart as well as his head; Charlie (Gale Hansen), who begins to lose his blasé attitude; unconventional Gerard (James Waterston); and practical Richard (Dylan Kussman). Keating urges his students to seize the day and live their lives boldly; but when this philosophy leads to an unexpected tragedy, headmaster Mr. Nolan (Norman Lloyd) fires Keating, and his students leap to his defense. Dead Poets Society was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Williams; it won one, for Tom Schulman's original screenplay. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Law & Order: Life Choice
The ongoing war of words between abortion advocates and right-to-life activists literally explodes into violence when an abortion clinic is bombed, killing a woman inside the building. Putting his own pro-life sentiments aside, assistant D.A. Stone (Michael Moriarty) wastes no time mounting a case against the most likely suspect. Even so, Stone's pro-choice boss, D.A. Adam Schiff (Steven Hill), cannot help but wonder if his subordinate's personal feelings can be kept out of the courtroom -- especially with public opinion mounting against Stone's remaining on the case. Featured in the supporting cast is Camryn Mannheim, who would herself portray an attorney on the long-running series The Practice. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Tim Robbins' second directorial effort (after the political satire Bob Roberts) was this drama based on a true story, which explores the issue of capital punishment. Sister Helen Prejean (Susan Sarandon) is a nun and teacher living in rural Louisiana. One day, she receives a letter from Matthew Poncelet (Sean Penn), who is scheduled to be executed soon for the rape and murder of two teenagers. After meeting Matthew, Sister Helen agrees to serve as spiritual counselor and see what she can do to stay the execution. However, Matthew's claims of innocence seem shaky at best, and it's clear he's a reprehensible, amoral racist. When it becomes obvious that Matthew's sentence will be carried out, Sister Helen offers what comfort she can to Matthew, but also tries to guide him to an open admission of the extent of his crimes and an acceptance of divine forgiveness, telling him "I want the last face you see to be the face of love." Susan Sarandon won an Oscar for her performance as Sister Prejean, and Sean Penn was similarly nominated for Best Actor as Matthew. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The compilation film If These Walls Could Talk consists of three short films that each deal with the controversial issue of abortion. Although each of the stories is set in a different decade, the unifying element (aside from the subject matter) is that all three transpire in the same house. The first story stars Demi Moore as the widow of a soldier killer in combat. She becomes pregnant and does not feel it would be morally appropriate to have the baby. Because it is the '50s, she must attempt to secure an illegal abortion. The second story, set in the '70s, stars Sissy Spacek as a mother of a struggling family. Having successfully raised four children on a meager income, Spacek's character must now decide if she should seek an abortion after finding out she is expecting a fifth. The final story takes place in the '90s. Anne Heche portrays a grad student who crosses protestors' picket lines in order to consult a doctor (Cher) about having an abortion. The first two parts, "1952" and "1974," were directed by Nancy Savoca, and the last part, "1996," was helmed by Cher, in her directorial debut. If These Walls Could Talk aired originally on HBO. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Four women reflect on their lowly place in the corporate caste system in this dryly satiric comedy. Iris (Toni Collette) is a college graduate who hasn't decided what she wants to do with her life, except that she doesn't want the job her father has lined up for her at a frozen food company. While pretending to look for other work, she signs on with a temp agency, which sends her out to do office work for Global Credit, a particularly faceless corporation where the permanent employees go out of their way to avoid the temps. Iris is very much aware that she's at the bottom rung at Global, and she bonds with three other women in the temp pool. Paula (Lisa Kudrow) talks about her career as an actress and insists that she will only temp until one of her auditions pans out. Jane (Alanna Ubach) prattles on about her wealthy fiancé, although her friends are convinced that he's cheating on her. And Margaret (Parker Posey) is at once the rebel of the group, regarding her job and general office procedure with a barely disguised contempt, and the one who most desperately wants a "real" job with Global. When office supplies and various personal items start to disappear, all signs point to one of the temp workers (most likely Margaret), though none will own up to any wrongdoing. Clockwatchers was the directorial debut for filmmaker Jill Sprecher, who co-wrote the screenplay with her sister Karen Sprecher. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Whittier (Anne Judson-Yager) arrives at the fictional California State College hoping to join the national champion varsity cheerleading team. She meets up with her friend from cheerleading camp, Monica (Faune Chambers), and they're both impressive at the tryouts. Head cheerleader Tina (Bree Turner) is ready to ask them to join the team, but Dean Sebastian (Kevin Cooney) goes a step further, telling Tina that Whittier will be the next head cheerleader.

She warns Whittier that Derek is not the type of boy she should be dating. Monica is bothered by Tina's meddling, but Whittier momentarily lets her cheerleading ambition get the better of her, and breaks it off with Derek. Then Tina, upset with Monica's sassy attitude, forces Whittier to choose between her friendship and the squad. Whittier and Monica get fed up and quit the team, but Whittier's school spirit cannot be suppressed. With Monica's help, she gathers up the outcasts from the drama club, the dance club, and other groups that have lost their funding and forms a ragtag squad of her own, determined to battle the varsity squad for a spot at the national championship.

The Shield: Ain't That a Shame
As the fourth-season finale of The Shield begins, everyone at The Barn is angry that Antwon (Anthony Anderson) got a deal from the DEA and is not going to be charged for the murder of two cops. Monica (Glenn Close) suggests to Vic (Michael Chiklis) and Shane (Walton Goggins) that they find a way to undermine the deal.

Suspecting that Aceveda might have had something to do with Juan's death, Vic confronts him, suggesting he find a connection between Juan and Antwon, because if Antwon murdered Juan after cutting the deal with the DEA, he could lose his immunity.

The Shield: Insurgents
Antwon (Anthony Anderson) now has a hold on Shane (Walton Goggins) and Army (Michael Pena), and uses it to get them to bust one of his competitors, and give Antwon half his stash to replace the heroin he's lost. Monica (Glenn Close) gets injunctions against the One-Niners, meaning the gang members can no longer openly associate with one another, making it difficult to do business. Vic (Michael Chiklis) stumbles into a DEA sting. The DEA is trying to tie Antwon's heroin supply to a Salvadoran stolen car ring, and the local cops work with them to make a bust, but Shane tips off Antwon, so they end up with nothing. Vic is able to track down another drug stash at a local church. Julien (Michael Jace) refuses to be a part of the raid, angering Monica, who later suggests he request a transfer. The church raid is ugly, but successful. Lem (Kenny Johnson) tells Vic that Angie has disappeared, and he worries that Shane might have turned her over to Antwon or even killed her himself. Vic doesn't believe it, even though Vic and Ronnie (David Rees Snell) have surveillance video of Shane and Antwon making deals and sharing information. Claudette (CCH Pounder) isn't speaking to Dutch (Jay Karnes). Investigating the strangling of a young black woman, they bring in Kleavon Gardner (Ray Campbell), who recently moved to L.A. from Texas, where authorities suspected him of being a serial killer. The case goes in a different direction, but Dutch still believes that Kleavon is a murderer. Dutch also decides to ask Corrine (Cathy Cahlin Ryan) out on a date. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Colorful Baby Names: Rainbow, Aurora and Jett
There have been some colorful baby names–if not wacky ones–in the Nameberry 9 this week, as reported by Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel.
It has been a great week for gutsy, even wacky girls' names, led by Girl Next Door alum, Holly Madison.
Before we get to her new daughter's colorful moniker, let's pause and consider the other issue Madison raised: to share or not to share your baby's name in advance?
Madison split the difference.
She hinted throughout her pregnancy that she was going to choose something different, even comparing it to that much-maligned celeb kid choice, Apple.
And then, just a few weeks before giving birth, she tweeted a snapshot of Rainbow Brite's Colour Buggy with a one-word caption – need.
I'd been pouring over her Twitter feed looking for clues to her baby's name, and completely missed that one.
So the choices for expectant parents in 2013 are: tell the world your name before the arrival, keep mum until you've already made it official, or use social media to drop broad hints to all of your faithful followers.

A Trillion Fewer Driving Miles?
It's now common knowledge that annual changes in the volume of driving no longer follow the old ways.
For sixty years, the number of vehicle miles travelled (VMT) rose steadily almost every year. Predicting more driving miles next year was a foregone conclusion, like predicting that the sun would rise or that computer chips would be faster. The only direction seemed to be up.
Then, after 2004 per-capita VMT turned downward, falling 6 percent, and leading to a decline in total VMT since 2007.
The most recent data are from July, traditionally America's biggest month for driving. In July 2012, Americans clocked over 258 billion miles behind the wheel, a billion fewer miles than the previous July despite a slightly stronger economy and cheaper gasoline. In fact, you'd need to go back to 2002 to find a July when Americans drove fewer miles than July 2012.
There are good reasons to believe the current slowdown in driving may persist. A report by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group in April showed that youth are leading the trend toward less driving. While the National Household Travel Survey only allows comparison of driving in 2001 and 2009, it shows that Americans aged 16 to 34 reduced their driving miles by 23 percent between those years. Meanwhile, youth are increasing their use of public transit, biking and walking faster than the general population. Changing patterns in the use of information technology and changing preferences for urban living may be major factors in these shifts.
Has America's long increase in driving turned a corner or just taken a prolonged pause? The answer matters a lot. Consider five scenarios:
- If the volume of annual vehicle miles travelled reverts to the average annual increases that took place between 1987 and 2005, then by 2025 the number of vehicle miles travelled (VMT) will grow by more than 27 percent beyond its current 2012 amount of nearly 3 trillion annual miles.
- If VMT changes at the average rate it has over the entire period between 1987 and 2012, then it will grow by almost 19 percent by 2025.
- If instead VMT changes at the average rate that has prevailed since 2004, then the number of vehicle miles will fall 2.3 percent by 2025.
- If VMT changes at the average rate that has prevailed since 2007, then VMT would fall off by almost 8 percent by 2025.
- Far more speculatively, if the 23 percent reduction in VMT for drivers under 34 that was observed between the last two National Household Transportation Surveys (2001 and 2009) becomes the trend across all drivers, then VMT would fall by 37 percent over the 13-year period ending in 2025.
The difference spanning these scenarios amounts to almost two trillion vehicle miles per year.
The point is not that we can be certain that driving will decline precipitious, but that we should consider these possibilities when investing in transportation.
The question of whether today's youth will continue to drive less as they grow older is especially important because the major transportation projects we build today will be used far more by Generation X and Y than by today's greying transportation leaders. The roads, railways and other infrastructure we build today will be with us long past 2025. The future travel habits of today's youth should therefore be of paramount importance to transportation policy. Continuing to build new highways at the current pace might arguably make some sense if driving returns to pre-2005 rates of growth. But those outlays would be a colossal waste if more recent trends prevail.
It won't be surprising if an upturn in the economy leads to some increase in vehicle miles, especially if gas prices don't also surge. But it's harder to imagine that we will switch back to the sizeable increases in driving that took place almost every year for six decades after World War II. Even if driving continues to increase at merely the rate of population growth, this would be a major change that should correspond to major changes in transportation investment. While we can't yet see "the new normal," it's a good bet that it won't be the same as the old normal.
You wouldn't know that from the last transportation bill, which spends transportation dollars mostly that way the federal government always has.
America should invest more in public transit, biking and walking infrastructure – modes of travel that are expanding, especially among youth. Since we don't know whether new highways make sense for the future, most road money should go to repairing the existing backlog of deficient roads and bridges. Above all, our elected leaders need to wake up and stop trying to build more of our grandparents' transportation system. They should take a serious look at the present with an eye to the future.

The chart of VMT looks almost exactly like the chart of oil production, including the slight dips after the 1973 and 1979 energy crises. Now that we're at Global Peak Oil, VMT has also peaked. More expensive oil means people drive a little less. On the downslope of energy extraction VMT will also decline. It's physics.

To understand why more roads are being built despite people driving less you have to recognize why roads are built in the first place. I've sat on committees at the regional planning commission so I've seen the "sausage being made." New roads are built and older roads expanded to add value to land pure and simple. The projects are marketed as "safety" and "congestion" improvements but those purposes are never met and not seriously addressed. Land speculators and their representatives dominate the committees making the decisions on new ROWs and funding priorities. In the process, once there's a commitment (not made public and way before TIP listing) by powers that be, the speculators often will follow through on deals they have for the land adjacent to the ROW. Usually its just a holdings agreement with farmers. Once they actually have ownership of the land they often don't wait around for the new road to be built, they quickly flip it. The much of the value has already been added to the land with the backroom commitment at the regional level. New buyers are developers of strip malls and developers specializing in exurban housing (cheap land, low-wage labor). The end of the process can be seen on all the new limited access roads in my region, near the exit ramps are large clusters of real-estate signs for housing and malls on recently paved over farm land.

5th Annual Take a Friend Snowmobiling Week - MI
Feb. 9-18: The 5th annual TAKE A FRIEND SNOWMOBILING WEEK. Consider partnering with local clubs and other local businesses to encourage non-snowmobiling friends or those who havent been snowmobiling for a while to join us for a time of fun. Many have tried snowmobiling for the first time with the experience resulting in the purchase of a snowmobile and joining a club and association all because somebody asked them to come along. For more information and ideas on throwing a TAKE A FRIEND SNOWMOBILING event, visit www.gosnowmobiling.org.
As a special incentive to take non-snowmobilers snowmobiling, the manufacturers will give away a gift certificate to a lucky individual who registers online and participates in the Take a Friend Snowmobiling Week event. Beginning in December 2011, the Take a Friend Snowmobiling Week Registration Form will be prominently displayed on the Go Snowmobiling web site: www.gosnowmobiling.org. Non-snowmobilers and their snowmobiling friends need to fill out the registration form to be entered in the drawing. If a Club is interested in organizing an event, their club members who participate get to register to win, and their guests get to register to win as well. The registration form is easy to fill out.
Try to involve your local dealer(s), ski Hill, Chamber of Commerce and local restaurant or gas station/snack shop. All of us collectively can really expand the idea and make this week a fun event.
Plan on participating if you are going to be snowmobiling from February 11-20, 2012 and make sure to register on the Go Snowmobiling web site: www.gosnowmobiling.org.

Rated 5 out of 5 by huntinut Great value
Great price for what you get. I shopped around looking for the best overall hunting outer wear before buying these. Large pockets. full length leg zippers are GREAT for getting on and off with boots on. I wore these the full season from 50 degrees to -5 degrees, in wind, rain, and snow, with basic layering and was never cold or wet. Not waterproof, but but never got wet inside after hunting in light rain for hours. VERY quiet whereas most "waterproof" stuff is like velcro on tree bark. Fit is the only thing wrong with these bibs and it was my own fault. I went with xl which is what I would normally wear, but these are a lttle over sized and a little too long for me. My bad

I typically wear 30/30 size jeans. The inseam could probably be a little longer than 30 considering i'll be wearing boots, but most of the bibs I have tried on fit well around the waist but the legs are WAY too long. I would like a medium so I have a little bit of room for base layers, but don't want to deal with the legs being way too long.Answers
velcro adjustable straps made bringing inseam up or down a snap. I'm 6'4" and was able to draw up the inseam to fit me perfect. I could have used a large, but went with XL for layering as wellDetails:
I am looking for a pair of insulated bibs and a matching jacket to bowhunt in in cold weather in the midwest. I have gear for weather down to freezing and the garment i am looking for is for when it is between 32 and 0. I cannot find where these have any insulation like thinsulate. I was ready to buy them until I noticed this and now i am asking for some advice. In the past I have worn the Remington bibs and want to know how these compare? Also is the " Berber" fleece the real thick stuff that is like imitation wool? I may be confusing this with " Sherpa" fleece like on item 58-870-836. Also I want bibs and a jacket that fit loose that I can pile on some layered clotthes and be able to still move. ThanksAnswers
I wore this outfit in 20 degree temps while bowhunting ohio recently. Loved everthing about this suit. Very warm, only a midweight baselayer and was comfy entire hunt. Wind was howling last day in stand, but did not pierce the shell like exterior. Interior does resemble sherpa garment. Reminds me of UA Ayton on inside.A:
They are not insulated, but I wore mine in -10 degrees with basic layering and wasn't cold. My layering system for extreme cold is Underamour base layer # 3, a fleece mid layer, and my Tundras'. NO COTTON! I used to pile on everything I could find and was always cold. The expensive stuff is worth it if you want to be warm. The fleece on these tundras in not very thick and plush, but I am VERY happy with my Tundras' The only thing I dont like is, on the jacket, the sleeves are fleece lined and can be difficult to slip my arm in with a fleece base layer. fleece on fleece doesn't slip. They should have used a smoother material on the sleeve liner. But I still reccomend this productA:
Typically I wear this parka and mathcing bib in weather 20-40 without layers. If you're walking around a lot be careful, if you're sitting in a stand for several hours between 0-20 you'll want a cpl of layers.1 of 1

Church & Main
Online Reservations
There are a few restaurants in the Burlington area that are attempting to skillfully assemble pure & wholesome ingredients into menus that create sophisticated culinary experiences. A few do it well, but none in my experience have mastered it the way this chef has. My wife and I went for the first time and loved absolutely everything we ordered from the appetizers to dessert, every dish & element of what we ordered was even better than we thought it could be. It is a diservice to even try to put into words how much I appreciate the food at Church and Main. The menu and the ingredients all reflect a mindful intent- a sensitivity and respect for cuisine. Each dish is consistently composed akin to nothing short of culinary master work.
First time at Church & Main, came highly recommended by several locals. Everything about this place is amazing. The only thing was when the back door (not the entrance) opened it's became cold and I had to keep my jacket on.
really good food - very creative -good wine - attentive service
Food was outstanding this time. We had the beef appetizer special,the cod special and the fillet. All excellent. It's pretty noisy place, ruins the ambiance, and doesn't fit with the fine food they're serving. Owners should try to quiet the place down a little.
If you're looking for a place to meet before a show at the Flynn like we didp his was an ideal pick We shared several appetizers and especially found the calamari had the best blend of flavored Paired with a delicious vintage from S Africa the wine was the perfect complement Service prompt but not overbearing well done
This was a pleasant surprise in that we were visiting from out-of-state and took a shot in the dark based on past reviews. The menu was small, which is great. Do a few things well, consistently, is a great way to run a restaurant. The service was pitch perfect, 100%, no complaints. The prices were quite reasonable. Everyone working there seemed to be well-trained and extremely professional. If we lived in the Burlington area, we would go back there for sure.
We had a marvelous experience. When the serve learned that our thirteen year old grand daughter was there for her birthday, she arranged a special dessert plate for the table. We were very pleased. The service was excellent with attention to detail without hovering. The food was superb and prepared as we requested. This was our first visit, but we plan to return and to tell our friends. It was a memorable and unrushed evening. Thank you
I was very happy with the meal and service that was provided. The great friendly staff were very knowledgeable about the menu. The "butter" that comes with the bread was amazing! Definitely coming back!
The bread pudding was cold. Other than that, a fine dining experience.
A good bistro, serving upscale bistro fare in a pleasant dining room, while having some inventive entrees and cocktails.
Probably one of the best places I've eaten at in Burlington and Vermont, the food was amazing!
We went here for restaurant week and had an amazing time! The deals were awesome (3 courses- $35!!!) and the cocktails were a perfect mix if interesting and refreshing. For drinks, I really liked the Budding Romance. They were extremely accommodating to gluten free patrons as well!
Very nice decoration and ambience. The presentation on the food was great. Make sure to get a reservation, as it's a small place, and was full almost the entire time we were there. The maitre d' and wait staff were very courteous, though it seemed like the waiters had too many tables to cover at times.
We had the Restaurant week menu, which included (for two people: Salad Cremont Goat Cheese (with an apple tart, apple jam and cranberry crackers) Salmon (with a potato pancake and arugula) Duck Breast (with brussel sprouts, squash and chard) Strawberries, strawberry ice cream, shortbread and whipped cream Chocolate Brownie (with homemade whipped cream and ice cream) Everything was amazing and cooked perfectly. I can't remember the last time I had duck cooked that well. It's easily the best meal we've had in Burlington. We also had some cocktails, which were creative and delicious.
They really put something special together for restaurant week this year. I'm inspired to come back sometime to check-out the rest of their menu.
Ordered two apps (clam chowder, calamari), two entrees (steak & frites, tagliatelli), two desserts (flan, key lime pie), two beers and martini and the bill was just over a $100. For the quality and freshness of the food, I would have paid twice as much. Each bite was delicious, and if I could, I would have snuck the left over garlic aeoli from the french fries home in my purse.
We had a wonderful evening there during Restaurant Week--my husband took advantage of the 3-part special--clam chowder soup, zuchinni gnocchi and key lime pie--all three of which I tried and they were delicious. I had a yummy, tangy ceasar salad and the tagliatelle which was good but a little bland. The place was hopping--one of the first beautiful summer nights on a college graduation weekend--a little loud for our taste. The service was attentive and friendly.
excellent all around. Steak, scallops, salads, all A+. Swevice for 6 a tad slow, but meals more than up for it. Great downtown location. Would highly recommend.
The food and service was excellent. The waiter was awesome He was knowledgeable in what was gluten free and was able to accommodate the special food requests that were made.
We've been many times. Always had great service - this time, with Carrie. Food was great, as usual, but portion sizes seem to have gotten smaller.
I was here for the Jazz Festival. We split a 1/2 dozen oysters served with a cider vinegar dressing I did not use. They were good but strangely lacked that briny taste i enjoy. My scallop dish was excellent and my friend who ordered steak and fried said it was cooked just right.
This was a really good find. Their special gin & tonic with a handful of juniper berries is awesome! Our server was very attentive but never hovered and coursed everything perfectly. Started with oysters, shared a salad, entrees, shared dessert. They were out of the wine we picked, but the server knew his wine list and helped us pick out another (it had been our second choice).
As we were not sure which one to choose, the waitress let us test 3 different wines and this allowed us to drink the matching one! I ended up picking my wife's choice and she picked up mine...
I admit i can be somewhat of a pain with my seating arragements as well as how my drinks are made , the staff will go out of there way to make sure you enjoy every aspect of this really fun and lively restaurant !
Big city sophistication in the center of Burlington combined with the friendly service and locally sourced ingredients that define Vermont. Sam, our bartender from London, made some fabulous choices and provided a guided tour of their too spirits. We'll be back.
I took a group of 7 for a bridal shower dinner and Church and Main took excellent care of us! The food was perfectly on time. Perfect timing between courses. The music was a little bit too loud for our group and when asked, our waitress turned it right down with no questions. Our waitress was great- very knowledgeable about the food. The restaurant was lovely inside- each table had a fresh beautiful bouquet of flowers. Overall the experience was excellent. I'm glad we chose church and main.
We have enjoyed dining at Church and Main for a number of years, and the restaurant continues to provide a top notch experience each time. The food is delicious, the staff is knowledgeable and efficient and the dining space is very comfortable. The outdoor tables are a great place for an evening meal, though the location next to main street means that there sometimes is more traffic noise than one would like.
Ben there twice now. Food is consistently well prepared and plated. Wine selection is great. Service both times was outstanding.
We enjoyed the overall ambience here. It was a great place to enjoy a good meal and conversation. My meal of scallops was excellent. My husband and son had steak. They were somewhat disappointed as although it was tender there was so much fat on the outside it was difficult to eat. Neither could finish it as the portion was quite large. The "perfect gin and tonics" were a little odd as they contained so much mint that it overpowered the taste of the gin.
Steak was great, fries were alright, service was excellent. Price per entree ranges from $20-25.
This is a nice little spot on church street if you are looking for that sort of a place. The presentations are creative. Service was great.
Picked this one based on diner reviews and it did not disappoint. I chose this restaurant for my birthday dinner while visiting our two daughters in Burlington. It is on the smaller side but with lots of atmosphere and attractive bar. Our food selections were awesome.Our waiter Tyler was very attentive. We will definitely return on our next visit.
Have enjoyed two excellent dinners here. Service is particularly good, but we really went back for the steak.
I was blessed to enjoy a birthday celebration at Church & Main. There were four of us in our party. Service was impeccable; the server was informed, discreet and friendly. The food was outstanding. I had THE best beef tenderloin I've ever enjoyed in my life, hands down! I especially appreciated the atmosphere; the noise leve was quite low, something that's very important to me. Thank you for making my birthday extra special!
We had a party of 6, and we all enjoyed every dish. The swiss chard side with the ribs was great, though the ribs were not that spectacular. The calamari was excellent. The cheese board quite good, though the size of the serving could be a bit more generous. Rabbit stew was very nice as well.
The food and service is great. Meals are about 25 dollars a plate on average but the food makes up for the price. Will go again
Easy to find, great place and ambience, great food and service.
Great food with interesting offerings. Local ingredients, always the best. Very good, friendly and knowledgeable service. Regarding reservations, you might want to call the restaurant directly. I was looking for 6:15-6:30, as we had tickets for an 8:00 show at the Flynn. Open Table only offered 5:45 or 7:15. I took the early one, but there were many tables still available at 6:45. Not sure what happened here, but you should definitely get a table whenever you can. You'll love it.
Right at the center of things in Burlington, across the street from the Flynn Theater and you can walk to almost anything else happening in town. I had the seafood special, ciopinno & my wife had cornish hen.off the menu. Nice atmosphere. Service was prompt & friendly
Food and service were excellent, but it is bit pricey
I always really enjoy food and generally just love food and am not a picky eater, but this place had a delicious flavor I hadn't had before that really blew me away!! It was expensive but expected, and the cocktails are amazing!
My husband and I decided on Church & Main as a prelude to our evening at the Flynn Theater. The calamari starter made with a light rice flour was excellent; not the typical deep-fried staple at most restaurants. For dinner I had the scallops. My husband had the stuffed portobello mushroom. We shared our meals. They were fantastic. For dessert I had the cheesecake. My husband, the salted-caramel ice cream. Cheesecake was so so. Ice cream was excellent (I had to have some of his). My husband had a tawny port with his ice creamto finish. Frankly, I was surprised that it was so good, as I had read some not-so-nice reviews along with those giving high praise. I highly recommend this place. We will be back.
I had been to Church and Main many years ago. I don't remember it as a great place - just ok. So I was very pleasantly surprised to find the food much better than expected. I ordered the wilted spinach salad and the steak tartar and they were both very good. The spinach in the salad was not as wilted as I thought it should be but the salad was very good despite that. The other members of my party both had the salmon special which was reported to be very good.
I've had some very good meals at Church and Main, and the waitstaff is friendly and efficient. When I've not been totally satisfied with a dish, they've been quick to offer me a replacement, or just quietly remove that item from my bill (which I've never asked them to do). There have been quite a few restaurants at this location, but Church and Main is the one I like best: the menu is varied and interesting (without being outlandish); the preparation is first rate; the interior is handsome--well designed, nice lighting--and comfortable; and the waitstaff, as I mentioned, is attentive.
All of us enjoyed our meal and service at Church and Main. The ambiance of the room was very inviting - black and exposed brick walls. Our waiter Tyler was very good - attentive without being obtrusive, recommended items and was overall very nice. We also enjoyed everything we ate. The bread they bring you was very good. I can always tell what the rest of a meal will be by the quality of the bread and it did not disappoint. Our appetizers were great - calamari and the spanish influence - worth ordering. All enjoyed the entrees, esp. the sauces on the pork chop and the fish stew. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality of the food and the service.
Food is excellent - a bit on the pricey side since all is a la carte. We go only when we have a deal chicken/jump-on-it coupon.
It is hard to say what I love so much about Church & Main, but it is always a pleasure to eat there. There is something about the ambiance that I love - trendy, interesting, and comfortable. The food is excellent, and I had a superb glass of Malbec.

Gwinn High School students held the first annual P.S. I Love You Suicide Prevention Walk on Saturday
GWINN -- Gwinn High School students walked Saturday in memory of one of their own.
The Youth Advisory Council organized the first annual "P.S. I Love You" Suicide Prevention Walk around Gwinn. The event honors Kayla Fleaciano, a Gwinn student who committed suicide last fall. Money raised goes to Voices For Youth in Gwinn. The event also spread awareness about the warning signs for suicide and how it can be stopped.
"If somebody who had committed suicide, if they were just to stop and think about all the people they impacted like this, that they would have stopped and stepped down and taken that deep breath and realized that they are needed in this world," said Gwinn High School junior Molly Smith.
After the walk, they held a memorial service for Kayla and planted a lilac bush in her honor. They chose a lilac bush because it is purple and matches the purple theme of the P.S. I Love You campaign.
