In order to draw public attention to what the Lions Clubs do for their communities, the Lions at the state level decided to have a Walk for Sight through our communities during the month of March. The walk for sight is to highlight the charge given to the Lions Clubs by Helen Keller in 1925 and sight has been the Lions main mission ever since. The Summerville Noon and Evening clubs did walks on March 19 and 21. Mayor Collins proclaimed March 19 and 21 as Summerville Lions Clubs Walk for Sight Days. Plaques were presented to the clubs by Council Person Kima Garten-Schmidt on March 21 at Town Hall before the walk. From left, Summerville Lions Club members Clay Cranford, Helen Hiott, Ellen Werksman, Council Person Kima garten-Schmidt, Paul Werksman, Ed Chaplin, Paule Strobel, Jim Strobel, Ned Shows, George Jenkins and Dianne Jenkins.

How to take fantastic photos of your kids with your iPhone
If you have children, you probably take more photos of them with your iPhone than anything else. We've already taken a look at how to take great portraits with your iPhone, and everything from that article applies here as well. We'll re-iterate some of them here, like light, camera level, and catchlights. But when it comes to taking the absolute best possible iPhone photos of your little ones, there are some other things we need to pay attention to as well.
Find light
I know I say this in every photography article I write, but that's because it really is that important. You need light. And it's especially important with kids because they move. A lot.
Quick mini-lesson about cameras
In order for a camera to capture an image, it needs light. To get light, the camera opens a hole, called an aperture, in the lens and releases the shutter, which allows light to hit the sensor for a set amount of time. A larger aperture means more light (because more light is coming in at once), and a slower shutter speed also means more light (because light is passing through the aperture for a longer period of time).
"But this is an iPhone, not a DSLR where I can control these settings. Why do I need to know this?" Because understanding how the camera works and why you're getting the results that you are will help you make decisions to improve. And for children, the biggest challenge is movement, which is why taking photos in a well lit environment is critical.
You see, kids move. Some of them nonstop (like my daughter). So there's a good chance you're struggling with blurry photos. The reason for this is because the shutter isn't moving fast enough to freeze the motion. But now that we know that the shutter will move slower to allow more light, it must also be true that if we have more light, the shutter will be faster. This is why more light is better with children -- you have a greater chance of freezing their motion with a fast shutter.
To summarize, because of the limitations of the iPhone, there's only two pieces of advice I can offer to solve blurry motion photos: get your child to stop moving (very difficult, but the right distraction can do it), or take your child somewhere where there's a lot of light.
Get down to their level
One of the simplest things you can do that will drastically improve you photos is too get down to the eye-level of the child you're photographing. This may mean squatting, getting on your knees, or for the real little ones, laying on your belly.
Remember, though, that rules are meant be broken. If done right, photos shot from above or below your child can come out rather stunning (like having your child lay on their back and you shoot from directly above).
Posing tips
Posing kids is hard, especially your own kids. Here's a few ideas that might help. The main thing is to get creative -- telling a child (or anyone for that matter) to smile isn't going to result in a nice natural smile.
- Bribe them with candy or toys
- Do something fun, like tickling, while your camera is ready, then back off real quick and take the shot
- Ask them to face away from you and, on the count of three, to spin around and give you their best pose
- Have them run towards you (perhaps with someone chasing them)
For younger toddlers and babies who don't understand commands, try some of these tips.
- Play peak-a-boo behind your iPhone. Maybe even have a stuffed animal play peek-a-boo behind your iPhone
- Find something that makes a noise they've never heard before. Maybe a new toy, maybe a new ringtone, maybe some other random noise you can produce yourself. Hold this item at camera level, not way above your head. You want the child looking into the camera.
- Make animal sounds
- Make a complete and utter fool of yourself by running, jumping, and dancing around and making high pitched sounds. No, seriously.
Use the front-facing camera
I know, the front-facing isn't nearly as good as the rear-facing camera, but for babies and toddlers, when they see themselves on the screen, the can't help but smile or make faces. So although these photos may not be of the highest quality, they should still result in some fun memories.
Also, if you're the only who's always taking the photos, the front-facing camera is a great way to get some photos of you with your child.
Ever notice that in some photos of kids, the child's eyes stand out more than in other photos? Sometimes there is some post-processing involved, but most of the time it was just clever placement of lighting -- and it's so simple. To make your child's eyes stand out, you need catchlights. If you're seeking out good light sources, this will actually happen naturally. The trick to catchlights is to make sure that your light source is hitting your child's eyes. That's it.
Sometimes it's OK to use the flash
I have a secret. I hate the iPhone's flash. It's terrible. In fact, the flash on most cameras are terrible. On-camera flashes do give much needed light, but they usually also result in very flat, unflattering images. So my first recommendation is to avoid the iPhone's flash at all costs. Especially with children -- the flash is so slow, that by the time the picture is taken, the moment is lost.
But sometimes there is no other choice, like in the photo above. I found my daughter sleeping in her crib like this and so badly wanted a photo. To get a "good" photo, though, I would need to turn on the light, but that would wake her up. I'm all for doing whatever I have to do to get a great shot -- except when that something is waking up my daughter. So my only choice was to turn on my iPhone's flash. It's not the greatest photo in the world, but it's an awesome memory. And with our kids -- that's really what it's all about. Memories.
Now go out and shoot!
So now that you're equipped with some tips for getting great photos of your kids, go out and practice! With summer just around the corner, you can bet that you'll be taking even more photos of your kids. As always, please share your favorite photos with us in the iMore photography forum. (Please do not share photos of someone else's child without permission from the parents). Have fun!

How to take fantastic photos of your kids with your iPhone
Haha. By "post photo" do you mean the first image? If so, I actually didn't do much. I increased the black, white, and clarity sliders in ACR, boosted the colors just a tad in PS, and cropped.
I use a Nikon D90. I've orded a Nikon D800 :)
Regarding editing -- those posts are coming :)
So glad to hear!
I agree. Although they are warmer like I like, I think they are often times way too yellow for my taste. You can easily fix this with a photo editing app though. I just try to keep the photos I post in these tutorials as "raw" as possible. I sometimes use the enhance feature in the Photos app, but that's it.
Thank you so much for your post. Great article and I have shared with quite a few. Keep up the great informative work!

Apple to ship three models of iPad 2 including CDMA support, anti-reflective screen?
According to unnamed sources in Taiwan there will be 3 different versions of the iPad 2 from Apple when it gets released in 2011, including the current Wi-Fi and UMTS 3G models, as well as a CDMA model for use with carriers like Verizon. According to DigiTimes:
Apple is expected to release three versions of iPad 2, supporting either or a combination of Wi-Fi, UMTS and CDMA, for 2011 with mass production to start as early as the later half of January.
According to the rumor, Apple will begin production of 500,000 to 530,000 units during the 2nd half of January, and is expected to produce a ratio of 3:4:3 (Wi-Fi, UMTS, CDMA respectively) as it appears that 60-65% of current iPad shipments have been 3G models.
In addition to added wireless functionality, it looks like the iPad 2 might get a few other minor upgrades including better smudge-resistant screens with an anti-reflective treatment. This should help the iPad 2 better compete with eBook readers like the Amazon Kindle.
Although these are just rumors for now, it would be pretty great to see a Verizon iPad 2 released in 2011 next to a Verizon iPhone, don't you think? Sound off in the comments below!

Apple to ship three models of iPad 2 including CDMA support, anti-reflective screen?
Need....iPad 2...stat...
Ditch the 16GB, start off with 32GB, 64GB and 128GB, or just start off with 64GB and have 128GB on top.
Apple is about being simple. If having six models is "simple" then I think I'm in the wrong world
They already have 6 models. If they go with what is said above, they would potentially have 9 new models. 3 sizes w 3 different chipsets. 3*3=9. They'd also have the 6 legacy models, so then they'd potentially be stocking 15 models for a small amount of time at their stores. Unless they would only sell the WiFi models at the Apple store and have the chipset specific models through carriers.
I am hoping to see the WiFi-only model eliminated (product line consolidated) so that all models include 3G at the old WiFi-only prices. I would also like to see a single UMTS/CDMA model that in the U.S. could be used either on Verizon or AT&T on a month-to-month no-commitment basis. I know ... I'm dreaming...
I love the design of the original iPad. The screen is perfect. I hope the new design isn't too much like the iPod touch. Antireflective screen, ugh. 128g memory would be awesome. Oh, and change the mute button back to an orientation lock.
Yeah, I hope they use the iPod touch like lineup instead. The 8 GB iPod touch is basically the same as the others save the storage size. At $229, it has the same 960x640 screen, 2 cameras, same CPU/GPU, etc. A 16 GB WiFi only iPad 2 model at the $399 price point is definitely doable considering the 8 GB iPod touch.
Dyvim, I don't think you are dreaming. I think a consolidated line with all radios in every device makes the most sense. It doesn't seem very Apply to make people think about which version of radio they need when buying an iPad. I think your line on the prices - wifi+3G coming down to wifi-only prices is right on the money.
I'll take an anti-reflective screen please! :)
First off people you can easily get a screen protector that is anti-Glare (smudging is inevitable nommatter what so stop crying about it. Have wipes in your pockets and stop whining.) that only cost 5-10$ for a pack of three on EBay. Secondly I think that VZW will be getting more of a 3G iPod touch and not an iPhone. I say this because simply put "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Apple is pulling in record numbers in with att so why should they change what works. Despite all of the crying the iPhone is still the G.P.O.A.T(Greatest Phone of All Time). For tmobile's network is not better than att but yet tmobile(Trash Mobile in these parts) customers still clammer to get a phone that's not offered by their carrier! I even had a tmobile rep try to sell me a phone when I showed him my iPhone he said "we support that too now".
I dnt care if vzw gets a iPhone but I doubt it to me a 3G iPod touch where you do not rely on wifi is more realistic.
Thirdly all of you who want an iPad with a rear facing camera just stop and think how idiotic you would look trying to take a pic with such a huge device. Front facing cam I can accept but a rear one? Come on!?
Tremendous issues here. I'm very glad to see your article. Thank you a lot and I'm taking a look ahead to contact you. Will you kindly drop me a e-mail?
Kuzien, merci de l'intérêt que tu portes au site ! Je t'envoie un mail !

Derek Dubie, left, Dennis Dubie, Cooper Erickson and Nancy Kolac pose with the trophy for the 50-year partnership between Toyota and K-M Motors.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A lot has changed in the last 50 years, but K-M Motors' relationship with Toyota hasn't.
For that, Toyota Regional General Manager Cooper Erickson awarded the shop with a glass trophy during a brief ceremony Thursday morning at K-M Motors' Curran Highway showroom.
Nancy Kolac received a gift certificate to Cranwell Resort, Spa and Golf Club in recognition of her 50 years on the staff.
Kolac said some things are still the same. Her appreciation of customers, who she considers more as friends than customers, as well as the challenges the store and those friends face.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — One week after showing no movement, gasoline prices in Massachusetts are back up this week, the ninth week out of the last 10 in which prices have risen, according to AAA Southern New England.
AAA's Feb. 7 survey of prices in Massachusetts found self-serve, regular unleaded averaging $3.119 per gallon, one cent higher than last week. The current price is a penny below the national average for self-serve unleaded of $3.12. A year ago at this time, the Massachusetts average price was $2.65.
The range in prices in the latest AAA survey for unleaded regular is 26 cents, from a low of $2.99 to a high of $3.25. AAA advises motorists to shop around for the best prices in their area, and to make sure they and their passengers buckle up — every time.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — All the cars at Carbone Ford-Mercury on Route 2 should be gone by the end of the weekend.
On Friday, staff began driving the vehicles to a brand-new $4 million location in Bennington, Vt., which will open on Monday. Carbone Auto Group purchased the former Haddad dealership about two years ago and constructed the new location adjacent to its current Toyota lot on North Bennington Road.
"We are moving cars as we speak," said Michael Larochelle, a sales associate for Carbone, on Friday. "We should be completely out this weekend."
Carbone Ford-Mercury is the latest Berkshire County dealership to close. The dealership will reopen in Vermont.
Closing the State Road location has been in the works for about three years. In 2008, Carbone purchased the dealership from Haddad Motors with the plan of moving it to Bennington. The company was expecting construction to last shortly more than a year.
Construction on the new 27,000-square-foot showroom began in April and was not expected to be complete until the spring 2011. Ahead of schedule, the dealership will have a soft opening on Monday.
"It's a brand-new location. I think I heard it cost $4 million," Larochelle said. "I assume they'll do some type of grand opening."
New car dealerships have continued to leave the county, or consolidate. North County is now down to three new-car dealerships — K&M Toyota in North Adams, McAndrews-King GMC in Adams and the massive Bedard Brothers Auto Sales in Cheshire.
In 2007, Bedard Brothers Auto Sales purchased and consolidated Gateway, formerly known as Shapiro Chevrolet, on Union Street. That dealership was added to the company's Cheshire location. In 2009, Berkshire GMC in Sheffield closed when GMC closed 1,100 of its dealerships.
The dealership at 179 State Road was known for years as Dick Scarafoni Ford and later as Calgary Motors. Carbone's consolidation leaves another large, empty commercial property in the city. The former Gateway site still has not found new tenants although it is being used for leasing vehicle storage space. Both locations are owned by Scarafoni Associates.

Comments about Chippewa Men's 11" Engineer Motorcycle Boots:
This is a very comfortable boot that fits true to size. The confortable fit is what I like most about this boot. The sole is flexible and is a nice thickness...not too thick like a Doc Martin. The only negative is that I can feel the steel toe box with my toes but this is common for steel toed shoes I have owned. I think steel toes tend to slightly cramp a boot's toe area. These boots have a great style that look great on the motorcycle but I wear them whether I'm riding or not. Great boot Chippewa!

GNTLGNT, are you actually speechless? your post is blank.
Here's a picture I put on a baby blanket. I call it Beary Potter. I entered it into a contest....didn't win, but I came in second. (Hopefully this link works.)
That cross stitch is gorgeous! And so time consuming. Loved the video too, thanks for that.
I used the old fashioned waste canvas. I've never heard of that water soluble in the video. I think I'll pick some up because I want to make a sweat shirt for myself. The old fashioned waste canvas works really well, but most of the pictures I stitch say not to stitch on waste canvas. (Beary Potter said not to.). The reason is, when you are pulling the threads out they can break. And quarter stitches are very difficult to do.
Some advice for anyone that tries using it (the original stuff), when you are pulling out the threads the instructions say to wet it first. But I find what works best is to put water into a spray bottle and just dampen it thoroughly. And if you are allergic to corn do NOT use the old fashioned waste canvas, corn starch is used to stiffen it.
...oh now really?...you KNOW better than that!.......stupid link dropped quicker than the Dow Jones....let's try again...GNTLGNT, are you actually speechless? your post is blank.

Where is it from?
- A Place & Date Used Melbourne, Australia
Plate - Bread and Butter, Florentino Restaurant, Melbourne, circa 1988 Reg. No: SH 960137
- Summary:
- This white china bread and butter plate is part of the furnishing and equipment used at Florentino Restaurant in Bourke Street Melbourne, during the time of Branco Tocigl's ownership from 1979-1989.
Florentino's opened during the 1920s under the ownership of Polish migrant Samuel Wynn and management of Rinaldo Massoni who had migrated from Italy in 1911. Originally Cafe Denat in Exhibition Street, the new owners moved it to Exhibition Street and changed the name to Cafe Florentino. Under Massoni's management (he purchased the lease from Wynn in 1929), the cafe flourished and expanded into the neighbouring Edments gift store in 1935. Massoni died suddenly in 1941 and the restaurant has had a series of owners ever since, but has always remained in its 1935 location.
- Description:
- The plate is of heavy, white china with a narrow gold border, surmounted by a small gold crest and identified by the name Firenze beneath. The reverse has the name of the manufacturer with a small crown above it.
- Statement Of Significance:
- Florentino Restaurant represents one of the longest continuously operating restaurants in Melbourne, indeed it is recognised as a Melbourne 'institution.' Documenting its history enables not just the representation of a significant local business in the collection, but also the telling of broader stories about the significance of migrant community ties in establishing and maintaining businesses over time; and the role of migrant communities in participating in the cultural evolution of Melbourne through its food, wine and coffee cultures.
- Acquisition Information:
- Donation from Mr Branco Tocigl, 1996

Guao.kh has some screenshots of the experimental interface and there are three important changes: the black bar has been removed, the list of Google services is now a drop-down next to the Google logo, while the tools menu, the notification button and the sharing box are displayed next to the search box.
The new interface is cleaner, but hiding the list of Google services will make it more difficult to use. A lot of users won't be able to switch from Google Search to Gmail, from Google Docs to Google Reader if the navigation links are no longer displayed without performing an action.

Smock Peplum Bustier
Style # 220723
Layered peplum ruffle that accentuates the waist and sexy strapless cut make this bebe top a glam way to update bottoms. Try yours with a bandage skirt and a pair of embellished sandals to sculpt a cocktails-with-the-girls look.
- 100% polyester
- Dry clean
- Imported
- Center back to hem: 7" (18 cm)
- Padded bust
- Gripper tape at bust
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Rated 3.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5�by Caligirl9 :/ Let me start off by saying this too looks cute, but once on me the bust was way too padded. It doesn't make your breast look any bigger it just kind of sticks out a lil, and mind you I am 36D! Overall cute too but not for me maybe if you go a size smaller it helps but in my case it just looked funny :( August 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by momo Oh so pretty! This is a versatile and very pretty top. The fit is excellent: fitted but comfortable. I usually get into the problem of the top being too long, covers my butt and hips but this one is just perfect! What you see on the model is what you get (at least for me). The cups are well padded and offer very good support for those who prefer not to wear a bra. The fabric looks like silk/chiffon and is very flowy at the peplum part. Love the detailing at the waist and the hem! The color is a tad bit darker than the picture. I got the xxs and prefer to wear it straps. I like it so much that I will also be getting the printed version featured in the "California Sentiment" catalog. It's a "must have" item. July 26, 2013

Hi, my name is Michelle! I have been working in Customer Service for Discount Ramps.Com since May 2008. I work directly with customers who call or email looking for information on orders, returns or if they have a problem. I also handle sales and shipping issues as well.
The best part of the position is the customers. It sounds cliche being a customer service rep, but they really are. I love being able to help resolve the problems or concerns of our customers. The greatest reward is the heartfelt thank you and appreciation the customer has for your help. I am so proud to be part of this company and what we are providing.
Outside of work I am a mother and a wife. My daughter just turned 4 and my husband and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. We spend the majority of our free time together as a family. With my daughter's endless energy and her spirited imagination, our time together is always an adventure. We'll go on pirate ships to save a princess or racing zebras in Africa. Keeps things very interesting!
Thank you for taking the time to read my addition to the Discount Ramps.com Blog. Have a wonderful day!

I ordered on the internet a rage bag for my hitch rack on Sat. needing it by Thursday the next wk(yes poor planning on my part). I called Monday and spoke with Michelle in CS who was very nice and pleasant and looked up the ship time assuring me UPS would get to me by Wed. The pkg arrived that Wed. and I put the bag to use on Thurs. My trip was with my 5 other girlfriends for a wkend fest to the mountains. We used every available sq in and had to pack in the rain but all arrived dry and we were quite estatic. I loved the service I got and the product I rec'd. Both were excellent. Thank you.
Thanks for the wonderful feedback. We are very happy to hear every thing went well for you

"Yummy variety of apple pie that is quick and easy. It was a hit with my boyfriend's pals in university whenever I made this favorite!"

1 (9 inch)
deep dish pie crust
5 cups
apples - peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 cup
white sugar
3/4 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1/3 cup
white sugar
3/4 cup
all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons
OH MY GOD is this pie DELICIOUS!!! I followed the suggestions of others, and did the following: (1) added about 1/4 cup of flour to the apple mixture to absorb apple juices; (2) instead of mixing apples with 1/2 cup white sugar, I used 1/4 white sugar and 1/4 brown sugar; (3) in a bowl, mix the apples and sugars and cinnamin before putting it in the pie (as opposed to sprinkling the sugar on top of the apples in the pie crust); (4) I used the basic flaky pie crust also on this website which was great; (5) i sprinkled some flavored walnuts on top of the pie with the crumb mixture; and (6) I cooked it at a lower temperature for an hour and 15 minutes. This pie was so delicious that i cannot wait to make it again. Everyone raved about it. ENJOY!
Flavor is great, consistency is a runny mess! Come to find out that I should have used flour to coat the apples. I do not like recipes that cannot stand on their own without having to read a lot of the reviews first. Wish the author would have put in a note to coat apples with flour first. I'll probably still try to find a way to eat this, because the flavor is good. But I could never serve it to company as-is. I'll try one more time with the flour to see if that improves the consistency.

This is the best apple pie I have ever made!! I started making it in September and by Thanksgiving I had family demanding it. This is not a pie that you'll have leftovers of (some people were even complaining because they didn't get a slice). These are a few things I have changed: I coat my apple slices in flour first. It makes the filling more jelly then runny (you will notice the flour will make a doughy type flim on the apples before you put them in the pie crust). Then I put a layer of apples, then coat them in sugar, then put another layer and coat, then one more layer (my apples are usually heaping by now) and last layer. I am VERY generous with my sugar. It makes it a bit sweeter but not too sweet. I don't change much, just I found if I don't coat my apple slices, the filling is really runny when it's finished, and if I don't put the extra sugar, the pie is a bit more tart. Enjoy the best apple pie around!!
I made 2 of these pies with home grown granny smith apples. They turned out delicious and were SUPER easy! I took them to a dinner party and they were both gone in about 5 minutes!! It was a huge hit! People even told me it was the best apple pie they had ever had... Instead of layering the sugar on the apples, I mixed sugar, cinammon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and a little flour with the apple slices in a large bowl, coating the apples with the mixture. The combination made a good consistancy of filling. And be sure to cut the apple slices pretty thin--not more than 1/2 inch or so--it will help them get soft. Good luck!
SOO YUMMY!! I have been trying out all diff apple crisps and pies this apple picking season and this was a great recipe to use the apples on. I used a mix of fresh empire and gala apples from the orchard. For the sugar mix for the apples I did use 1/4 cup brown and 1/4 cup white sugar and 2 tbs flour then the cinnamon. I mixed the apples in that in a bowl before pouring into the crust. I did put a few pats of butter on top of the crust first and then on top of the apples once I poured them in. I also gave the apples a few squirts of vanilla as well.
The crumbs I did 2/3 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1 stick butter softened and mix with hand and made large crumbs to sprinkle all over-it makes the ultimate crumbs-I LOVE CRUMBS! I did bake at 400 for 30 min and noticed the crumbs were getting brown fast so I turned down to 350 and baked another 30 minutes placing a piece of foil over the top. I kept testing with my fork to make sure my apples were nice and soft inside. AND let me tell you with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top-I was in heaven eating this!
This is a great base recipe! But for the apple filling I added 1/4 cup flour, used 1/4 cup brown and 1/4 cup white sugar and added a dash of nutmeg. I mixed the dry ingredients with the apples before placing the filling in the pie crust. This made for a EXCELLENT "creamier" pie filling. Wonderful crumble top. Used "I can't believe its not butter" on the crumble top and it turned out great. Thank you so much! I have made this 5 times (modified) and people I serve it to can't believe its not professionally made! Thank you thank you thank you.
Delicious!!!! I did make a few changes...I mixed the apples into the sugar and cinnamon mixture instead of just sprinkling mixture over apples. I used a pie crust recipe called "Mom's Pie Crust" also found at Allrecipes. I used half of this crust to make top crust over pie, then sprinkled the top with cinnamon. Most of all I did NOT bake at 400 but rather at 325 which took about an hour but the crust was not burnt and the apples were cooked through out. The result.....a fabulous pie that my husband said was the best apple pie he'd ever tasted!!
This is more of a 4.0 to 4.5 star recipe because it needs additional spices to make it work for me.
I have made it twice now and this time I sliced the apple wedges much thinner (1/4 inch or less) and used 4 green tart apples. When baking for only 35 to 40 minutes the apple slices really need to be thin to be soft.
I added 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp allspice, and one sprinkle of cloves into the sugar
and flour (2 Tbsp) mixture which I tossed with the apples. I was worried it would be too much spice when I sniffed it
but after baking it was the perfect amount of spices. My husband said the spices added a lot of depth to the flavor and really liked it.
I also dotted the apples with a paste of brown sugar, cinnamon and butter before putting the recipe's crumble topping on it. (The paste was a failed attempt at making the crumble with brown sugar and white sugar mixed). It turned out that the pie had pockets of brown sugar taste to it and my husband really liked those parts. He said if I could have mixed that throughout it would have been a really great pie. So next time I will mix melted butter with brown sugar in with the apples and spices before layering them in the pie crust.
A friend came over and gave the pie an enthusiastic thumbs up. Wolfed down a slice in a couple minutes. Said she tasted the pockets of brown sugar and really liked it that way. I sent her home with another slice.
Overall, a good recipe to start with.

Associated Press
KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Dillon Gee stayed positive despite his tough spring for the New York Mets.
The type of outing he had Monday against the Atlanta Braves should make him feel even better.
Gee pitched six scoreless innings and struck out seven as the Mets topped the Braves 7-4.
"I've never gotten caught up in spring training," Gee said. "I am just trying to be aggressive. To do well in a big lineup like I did today makes me feel good."
Even though Gee allowed five earned runs in four innings in his last outing against the Houston Astros, Mets manager Terry Collins felt the right-hander turned a corner during that rocky outing.
"He got hit in that last inning, but he finished strong," Collins said. "He came back to the dugout after it was over and said, 'I'm back.' He showed that today."
Gee went 6-7 with a 4.10 ERA in 17 starts last season and is being counted on to be a mainstay in the starting rotation this season.
"I've been pitching well this spring and had some good bullpens, but it isn't what it is until you have to face a real batter," Gee said. "It's coming around."
Meanwhile, Mike Minor allowed five runs in five innings for the Braves as his ERA climbed to 6.26. He also walked two and allowed three home runs.
Minor has been hit hard this spring and allowed homers to Andrew Brown, Jamie Hoffmann, and Collin Cowgill. Minor is scheduled for one more start before the team breaks camp. He said he isn't worried about his spring struggles.
"I think I did better today than I have been," Minor said. "I just threw a few that went straight and they ended up going straight out of the ballpark."
Minor said he brought a new attitude to camp this year and that his struggles aren't getting to him.
"I feel like I'm a whole different pitcher than I was last year," said Minor, who went 11-10 for the Braves in 2012.
"If I got hit like this last spring, it would have been completely different. This year, I am just thinking about the next pitch."
Cowgill and Hoffman each had two hits for New York.
Jason Heyward and Justin Upton hit back-to-back homers off of Robert Carson for the Braves. Braves closer Craig Kimbrel, who has been hit hard this spring, pitched a scoreless inning.

Inside the Charles
An EV Grieve reader was able to get some photos inside the old theater. The reader noted that it looked as if many of the original features were still in place.
A few other observations from the reader: There's a bit of a musty smell -- likely the effects from the fire that started on the Avenue B side in October 2006. The back part, where the main theater/church is, looks to have escaped any damage.
After the theater closed, Pastor Carlos's uncle bought the building in 1975. It has been a church since then.
As the reader notes, "Pastor Carlos said he that plans to see if he can raise some funds to fix the place up and continue his church and community work. I hope he succeeds, it's really an incredible space and it would be great to see it back in use."
Meanwhile, the spaces for rent are roughly 1,000 square feet and 1,220 square feet. The entrances to the storefronts are on the Avenue B side. The theater entrance is on 12th Street. The reader even created a diagram of the space (not to scale):
And two shots that I took of the space...

The reader did make the diagram. Which was very helpful. I wasn't sure how the space was laid out...
I'm also curious about what used to be on the corner of 12th and B. The photo I posted yesterday showed a business on the corner circa 1966, but I don't know when it came down.

In the late 60s early 70s those blocks Ave B, C, D were very dangerous. Though I lived at the time on 13th between 1st & 2nd there was no way I'd walk east of Ave A. Maybe go to the library on 10th Street, that's about it. But at night time...forget it.

Beautiful, thanks.
It's a little like the story of Rev. Ike buying and preserving that theater uptown. I guess these preachers are good for something sometimes.

Wow I can't believe those photos come from inside that crappy looking building. I've tried to peek inside when they had services going on a Sunday morning, but could never see much. The building wraps around and the back door comes out on 12th Street, behind the empty lot.
- July 31, 2009 at 6:25 PM
Hi, I'm the reader who took the pics and made the diagram. Like Jill said, I had no idea what was really in there till I saw it and I was pretty surprised.
I had thought it would be some tiny, dingy space but there's a really cool old theater in almost entirely original condition back there. It's been painted over the years and that's about it.
The original seats are still installed, with the original upholstery and everything.
It's much bigger than I imagined too - the diagram I drew is rough but the # of seats indicated is definitely in the ballpark. 500+ for sure.
Walking in there I feel like I stepped back in time. I really hope Pastor Carlos is able to restore it and return it to something useful. If you're ever walking by and see the gates open, make sure to ask if you can go in. It's like a bug preserved in amber, a snapshot of history. I so hope it's saved.
Thanks EVG for publishing my pics. Maybe if people realize what's there they'll be motivated to assist in its preservation.
- July 31, 2009 at 11:53 PM
- EV Grieve said...
Thank YOU, anon. We all really appreciate the photos and insights...

[Verse 1]
1-2, 1-2-1-2-3, I'm the emcee called Ice-T
That's DJ Evil E, Islam creates the beats
You girls look so sexy
I wish you all were up here with me
You drive me crazy with them big ole butts
Girls, let's get butt naked and fuck
[Verse 2]
Tonight, I'm trying to make this real clear, dear
I've no time to whisper in your ear
No time to remove your fears
I just wanna get near
Get butt naked and roll around
Move our bodies like up and down
Do that stuff that your mama call smut
Girls, let's get butt naked and fuck
[Verse 3]
Come on, you know you wanna do it too
It's good to me and it's good to you
I only speak what's true
You say you don't, but I know you do
Come on up to my room
We'll undress by the light of the moon
Lay down and I'll caress that butt
Girls, let's get butt naked and fuck
[Verse 4]
I mean real stupid and nasty
I know what you want, so you don't have to ask me
Just lay back and I'll operate
Jimbrowski will go to work and penetrate
And then we'll both feel great
Make your move tonight, girl -- don't hesitate
We both want it, don't make it tough
Girls, let's get butt naked and fuck
[Verse 5]
Homeboys, you know the situation
You're trying to rap but they give you frustration
Nose in the air, turning you down
When you really wanna say, "Yo baby, let's get down"
But you don't, you keep fronting
Kicking conversation, ain't talking 'bout nothing
When all that's really on your mind is what?
"Yo baby, let's get butt naked and fuck"
[Verse 6]
That's right, if you're a man you want it
If you're a woman, you tease him and flaunt it
But my crew got to have it
And after they dog it, I autograph it
The Syndicate don't lecture
We move in a group, seduce and capture
And if the posse has good luck
The girls will get butt naked and fuck that night
[Verse 7]
Islam takes the pictures
And girls, I'mma say Evil E's gonna get ya
Get ya illing in a nude mode
A double X-rated episode
Hotel rooms cold explode when my posse unloads
Sex in effect when we're on the road
[Verse 8]
Put your hands up in the air
If you love sex -- I know you're out there
Safe sex that is
Ya gotta be careful with this '88 sex biz
But that's another song
Girls, move your bodies sexy and the brothers will come along
Homeboys, move in on that butt and say
Girls, let's get butt naked and fuck

Interesting Things
- The Rspec version 8.2 does not work well with appable_plugins: When running Controller Specs from within an appable_plugin, those plugin's test fixtures will not load.
- We've created some Rake tasks to run all appable_plugin tests in one go. Nice!
- We've moved to a bigger, faster SVN server, so checkouts and updates should be faster.
- Following up on earlier events, we've successfully completed migrating one client's codebase out of our SVN server and into their repository. Good job folks!
- Remember to use filter_parameter_logging in Rails, which prevents Rails from outputting the parameters you specify to any log files.
- Bidirectional polymorphic join tables and has_many_polymorphs: always best described as art!
Ask for Help
- Does anyone know how to exclude the 'log' directory from searches in the new IntelliJ IDEA Ruby Plugin?. The Java plugin allows for this.

(if anything!) I picked up Erlang last night again because I ran into a problem in Project Euler that I thought would be a perfect fit. After about a short time of coding, I had a solution that was extremely simple and elegant (for something I created) -- the main function being only a few lines.
My question is what is keeping people from adopting Erlang more?
- For current developers, what do you feel is missing to increase adoption (libraries, language features, IDE/toolsets)?
- For people who tried but were turned off by the language -- what aspects were difficult to understand or missing, or did you find a functional language that was better suited for your tasks?

Tanton, for instance, wrote to Robert Graham, who'd started a sperm bank with the semen of Nobel Prize winners.
"Do we leave it to individuals to decide that they are the intelligent ones who should have more kids? And more troublesome, what about the less intelligent, who logically should have less?" Tanton wrote.
Beirich went back to SPLC's headquarters in Montgomery, Alabama, and published reports on Tanton's white-supremacist associations. This further outraged FAIR, the CIS, and NumbersUSA, which did not take kindly to the SPLC hate label. CIS has attempted to deflect the negative image by deriding Beirich as a priss not unlike Dana Carvey's "Church Lady" character on Saturday Night Live. It calls Bierich's work a "distorted and dishonest narrative" that exaggerated the relationship between CIS, FAIR, and NumbersUSA.
CIS even held a seminar to discredit the SPLC, which it portrays as a bloated, self-serving nonprofit that funnels funds to overpaid directors while ignoring poor people.
Jerry Kammer, a former Arizona Republic reporter who helped bring a Pulitzer Prize to a San Diego newspaper, is now a "senior research fellow" for CIS. At the panel convened this fall to discredit the SPLC, Kammer bashed the organization but also sought to distance himself from Tanton, who, he says, "has a tin ear for the sensitivities of immigration."
Tanton is a "distraction" in the immigration movement, Kammer said, because he "sometimes speaks with a freewheeling bluntness that even those who admire him find upsetting."
What Kammer did not note is that the SPLC is not the first organization to call the motives of FAIR's founder into question. In the 1990s, several magazines and newspapers profiled Tanton and pointed out his controversial views.
"Do conservatives who embrace FAIR know all they should about the object of their affections?" conservative Tucker Carlson wondered in a 1997 piece in the Wall Street Journal.
And Carlson was appalled that Tanton told the Detroit Free Press that he wanted borders sealed to avoid overrunning the country with people "defecating and creating garbage and looking for jobs."
Three years later, the Anti-Defamation League took on FAIR. "Unfortunately, FAIR and other anti-immigrant groups have used reckless, distorted language and tactics that cloud and inhibit responsible debate," the ADL concluded in a report.
Since that report was issued, the Tanton network has been blasted for white-nationalist ties by several progressive groups, including the Center for New Community, a pro-immigrant group in Chicago, and the NAACP, which in October published a report on its Web site that linked white nationalists to anti-immigrant factions in Tea Party movements.
Even today, John Tanton sees nothing wrong with associating with white nationalists. He says he doesn't necessarily agree with them, but reaching out to them is part of his "coalition building."
And he's not ashamed of soliciting $1.5 million in unrestricted donations during FAIR's early days from the Pioneer Fund, an American foundation that has long financed research in "race science." FAIR doesn't take Pioneer money anymore, though the creepy foundation still is going strong.
The Pioneer Fund's current president, J. Philippe Rushton, is a Canadian college psychology professor who still studies race-intelligence connections.
In a July article for the online journal VDARE.com, named after Virginia Dare, the first white baby born in the New World, Rushton wrote that his recent research proved that black 17-year-olds consistently scored at the level of white 14-year-olds on math and reading tests.
Other VDARE.com contributors include white nationalists whose correspondence with Tanton is archived at the University of Michigan.
Sam Francis and Jared Taylor are associated with the white-separatist Council of Conservative Citizens, birthed from the White Citizens Councils of the 1950s and '60s in the South. The CCC Web site disparages blacks, Jews, and Latinos. One of the group's goals is to "oppose the massive immigration of non-European and non-Western peoples into the United States that threatens to transform our nation into a non-European majority in our lifetime."
Jared Taylor also edits American Renaissance, a white nationalist Web site.
Another VDARE.com contributor, Kevin MacDonald, is a director of American Third Position, a white-nationalist political party that reportedly donated money to Jan Brewer's SB 1070 defense fund.
MacDonald edits Occidental Quarterly, a white nationalist publication.
His good friend, retired Vanderbilt professor Virginia Deane Abernethy, an avowed "European American separatist," has also written for VDARE. Abernathy believes sending food and aid to Third World countries will "exacerbate overpopulation."
And recently, she wrote a blurb calling the violent new American white-nationalist novel White Apocalypse "an emotionally compelling account of whites as historical victims of non-whites — just the sort of thing we need to motivate a renaissance among our people."
Tom Tancredo has written for VDARE, and so has his friend Pat Buchanan.
And Tanton's funding nonprofit funneled $15,000 to VDARE in 2007 and 2008, according to the most recent federal tax reports for US Inc.
Tanton is a good writer. (He once won an essay contest sponsored by The Scientific American.) He contributes to and publishes the Social Contract Press, edited by Wayne Lutton, his co-author of a book called The Immigration Invasion.
Lutton, whom Tanton calls a "very nice guy," has addressed the Council of Conservative Citizens, and he's lent his editorial expertise to American Renaissance's Web site.

While it's traditional for Shimano to "trickle down" technology from its flagship Dura-Ace 9000 groupset into Ultegra, the Ultegra 6800 11-speed Compact Crankset received an absolute deluge of features Shimano's rock star line this go round. Like Dura-Ace, the Ultegra 6800 crankset has moved from a five-arm to a four-arm design which reduces weight without sacrificing one iota of strength and stiffness. Not only that, but the bolt circle diameter is now identical for compact as well as standard size chainrings meaning one set of crank arms can do it all - just swap out chainrings to mix things up instead of having to splurge on an entire new crankset. There's a hatful of hollow throughout this crankset as well - as in Hollowtech, Hollowtech II, and Hollowglide that all contribute to reduced weight and maximal stiffness. There's Hollowtech crank arms, a Hollowtech II bottom bracket spindle, plus Hollowglide outer chainring to deliver pro-level performance (seriously - the eagle-eyed pro cycling fan can spot Ultegra 11-speed components racing and winning at the highest levels).
This version of the Ultegra 6800 11-speed crankset features a compact 50/34T chainring set-up which is ideal for those seeking a wide range of gearing without the added weight of a triple drivetrain.

Silky and Solid
By Musumba
from Myerstown, PA
Due to lower back issues and age, I am not a speed-focused cyclist. However, I still choose to keep up with younger, more aggressive riders and wanted more performance than I was getting from a triple crankset. The Ultegra FC-6800 crankset dramatically increased performance without sacrificing the ability to cruise/tour on a long ride. It is light-weight and responsive. Mechanically, it feels like a fine-tuned machine. Silky shifting, solid spinning. The fact that it looks great is icing on the cake.

Charles Edward "Chuck" Baker served on the Board of Commissioners from 1977-1980 as vice chair. During an interview last week, he recalled running against Corbin Roberts, who was a formidable opponent. Baker said the county was divided into three districts at the time.
He said in 1977 the chairman was chosen by a vote of board members after the election.
"We worked together. We had disagreements but agreed at the end. The board needs to have harmony and work together," Baker said.
Baker said he did not run for re-election to the board in 1980, opting to run for tax commissioner instead because of changes in that office.
He did not succeed in the tax commissioner race, but he was appointed and served on the board of the Middle Georgia Area Planning Commission, now known as the Regional Commission.

The Hillsville Town Council approved a proposed operating budget for fiscal year 2013-2014 on April 22 that is $10,000 less than the previous budget without reducing services. The budget will also roll back tax rates on real estate to those of 2007-08, and increase the meal and transient taxes by three percent.
The proposed budget for 2013-14 is $4,686,723, which is $734,767 less than the 2012-13 budget of $5,421,490.
In his presentation of the proposed budget to council, Town Manager Travis Jackson said he found the town has been operating in the red for the past five years. Apparently, previous councils had used transfer of retained earnings to balance the budget.
"The last five years, we have not been operating in the black. My challenge and your challenge is to get the town back in the black and build up retained earnings," Jackson told council. "It's all fixable. We want to do it in a way that we won't have to put a strain on the taxpayers."
Mayor Greg Crowder asked Jackson, "So, we're losing $700,000 a year?" He also questioned how long it would be before the town went broke if council continued on the current course. Jackson answered three to five years, depending on new revenues and new expenditures.
As far as taxes, the real estate tax will increase from .18 cents per $100 to .22 cents per $100, while the personal property tax, and machinery and tools tax will remain at their current rate, .72 cents per $100. The increase in the real estate tax will be somewhat negated by the most recent assessments which are lower than the previous assessments. Because of the lower assessments, Jackson said most taxpayers will not see an increase in their real estate tax. Others may see an increase that will amount to about 1 percent.
Due to the new assessments, the town's total real estate tax decreased 12 percent, from $225,995,700 to $199,037,900.
The biggest change came in the meals tax and transient lodging tax, both of which will increase from 5 percent to 8 percent.
"The nice thing about the meal and lodging taxes is they don't generally affect local taxpayers, they affect mainly transients. That lessens the impact on local households," said Jackson. "But that still is not going to generate enough revenue to get us in the black."
The increase in meals and lodging taxes, "coupled with the return to the 2007-08 real estate tax rates will get us where we need to be," added Jackson. "I would like to say we can reduce taxes, but we can't do that. The town needs to operate as a business."
Council unanimously approved the proposed budget and agreed to advertise it for a month, prior to a public hearing.

Year of publication
- 2004 (3) (remove)
- Nonequilibrium models of relativistic heavy-ion collisions (2004)
- To be published in J. Phys. G - Proceedings of SQM 2004 : We review the results from the various hydrodynamical and transport models on the collective flow observables from AGS to RHIC energies. A critical discussion of the present status of the CERN experiments on hadron collective flow is given. We emphasize the importance of the flow excitation function from 1 to 50 A.GeV: here the hydrodynamic model has predicted the collapse of the v2-flow ~ 10 A.GeV; at 40 A.GeV it has been recently observed by the NA49 collaboration. Since hadronic rescattering models predict much larger flow than observed at this energy we interpret this observation as evidence for a first order phase transition at high baryon density r b. Moreover, the connection of the elliptic flow v2 to jet suppression is examined. It is proven experimentally that the collective flow is not faked by minijet fragmentation. Additionally, detailed transport studies show that the away-side jet suppression can only partially (< 50%) be due to hadronic rescattering. Furthermore, the change in sign of v1, v2 closer to beam rapidity is related to the occurence of a high density first order phase transition in the RHIC data at 62.5, 130 and 200 A.GeV.
- Strangeness dynamics and transverse pressure in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions (2004)
- We investigate hadron production as well as transverse hadron spectra from proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions from 2 A·GeV to 21.3 A·TeV within two independent transport approaches (HSD and UrQMD) that are based on quark, diquark, string and hadronic degrees of freedom. The comparison to experimental data on transverse mass spectra from pp, pA and C+C (or Si+Si) reactions shows the reliability of the transport models for light systems. For central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions at bombarding energies above ~5 A·GeV, furthermore, the measured K± transverse mass spectra have a larger inverse slope parameter than expected from the default calculations. We investigate various scenarios to explore their potential effects on the K± spectra. In particular the initial state Cronin effect is found to play a substantial role at top SPS and RHIC energies. However, the maximum in the K+/..+ ratio at 20 to 30 A·GeV is missed by 40% and the approximately constant slope of the K± spectra at SPS energies is not reproduced either. Our systematic analysis suggests that the additional pressure - as expected from lattice QCD calculations at finite quark chemical potential µq and temperature T- should be generated by strong interactions in the early pre-hadronic/partonic phase of central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions.
- Review of QGP signatures - ideas versus observables (2004)
- We investigate hadron production and transverse hadron spectra in nucleus-nucleus collisions from 2 A·GeV to 21.3 A·TeV within two independent transport approaches (UrQMD and HSD) based on quark, diquark, string and hadronic degrees of freedom. The enhancement of pion production in central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions relative to scaled pp collisions (the 'kink') is described well by both approaches without involving a phase transition. However, the maximum in the K+ p+ ratio at 20 to 30 A·GeV (the 'horn') is missed by ~ 40%. Also, at energies above ~5 A·GeV, the measured K± mT-spectra have a larger inverse slope than expected from the models. Thus the pressure generated by hadronic interactions in the transport models at high energies is too low. This finding suggests that the additional pressure - as expected from lattice QCD at finite quark chemical potential and temperature - might be generated by strong interactions in the early pre-hadronic/partonic phase of central heavy-ion collisions. Finally, we discuss the emergence of density perturbations in a first-order phase transition and why they might affect relative hadron multiplicities, collective flow, and hadron mean-free paths at decoupling. A minimum in the collective flow v2 excitation function was discovered experimentally at 40 A·GeV - such a behavior has been predicted long ago as signature for a first order phase transition.
