Customer Testimonials
See what customers are saying about Andean Chevrolet...
Brittany from Cumming said " I wanted to somehow let the Chevrolet company know that their trucks REALLY are the longest lasting, most dependable trucks in the world. I bought my 2001 chevy 1500 extended cab used with a little over 150,000 miles on it about 5 years ago. I've been pulling horse trailers all over Georgia and across other states almost every weekend over that time, and my total mileage adds up to over 327,000 miles. The transmission has FINALLY gone out on it, and I must say it took a LOT of wear and tear to do so. I'm proud to have owned this Chevy and am looking to buy a new truck soon so I can keep hauling horses. I just wanted to give GM a little praise for making such outstanding vehicles!"
M L from
R H from Cumming, GA, said "Great dealership! Service Department is second to none!"
J B from Cumming, GA, said "All staff at Andean Chevrolet were very friendly and helpful with the purchase of my new 2010 Chevy Silverado and the website made it very easy for me to find the truck I was looking for."
S R from Cumming, GA, said "Everyone that I came in contact with was very professional and friendly, they made the transaction painless. I have purchased several vehicles at this dealership and keep coming back because I am not treated like a number. I would recommend Andean to anyone!"
J J of Suwanee, GA, said "Overall great experience purchasing a truck from them. Great people."
R M of Suwanee, GA, said "Having sales and financing docs faxed to me for review prior to coming to the dealership for delivery was a huge help and let me focus on the vehicle and new options explanation."
R T of Cumming, GA, said "Barry (Sales Consultant) did a great job finding the truck I wanted. When he delivered it he went over everything."
R G of Cumming, GA, said "Great team of professionals. Chevrolet should be very proud of this dealer. Best experience I've had buying a vehicle in my 20+ years buying cars."
E H of Cumming, GA, said "Great Dealership."

Keeping Children in Good Health
Meet Beauty and Belinda
These 2 little girls lived on food aid, when their aging grandfather couldn't help them. Food aid helps those least able to help themselves.
World Vision began operating in Zimbabwe in 1973, mainly providing assistance to children's homes and offering relief to Zimbabweans in camps and institutions.
After independence in 1980, focus changed to rehabilitation and small-scale development programmes as the country absorbed exiles and previously displaced groups.
Over the years World Vision has transitioned to large-scale community development programmes designed to address community needs with a specific focus on children, using participatory planning approaches and ensuring sustainability.
Today, World Vision is the largest humanitarian organisation in Zimbabwe, operating relief and development projects across the country benefitting more than one million people.

Sweet Decision
July 6, 2009 - Robert "Bubba" Kapral
Justice -- and not beer -- has been served. The state of Ohio has issued its ruling on a request for a liquor permit for the Tee Pee ice cream store in West Bellaire. That request has been denied. I will toast that decision by drinking a nice cold one -- that being a hot fudge milkshake. The Tee Pee has been serving them up very well for a long time. The Tee Pee has been a West Bellaire mainstay for years, specializing in ice cream and good food......not beer. I commend the state for keeping it that way. Although the decision can be appealed, I believe West Bellaire is better served with ice cream than alcohol flowing from the Tee Pee.

RIP Pedro Alcantara De Souza.
Pedro Alcantara De Souza, Amazon Activist, Murdered In Brazil.
Pedro Alcantara de Souza, a land reform activist, was murdered yesterday. Click here for AP story:
…The killing came hours after a delay in the trial of a man accused of masterminding the slaying of another rain forest activist, American nun Dorothy Stang, who was shot and killed in 2005 in notoriously violent Para state.
Watchdog groups say conflicts between powerful ranchers and poor farmers over land rights have led to 1,200 murders across Brazil in the last 20 years.
In only one of those killings — Stang's — is the alleged mastermind now behind bars…
Or, click over to Huff Post...
…severe economic inequality persists in Brazil – and that includes land ownership. The Brazilian government's statistics agency says nearly 50 percent of arable land belongs to just 1 percent of the population.

Southfield, Mich. - Lawrence Technological University has been awarded an $800,000 federal grant for the development and installation of an environmental/loading chamber that will be used to test vehicle armor and armor structural components made of advanced materials in its Center for Innovative Materials Research (CIMR).
This unique new test chamber will enable full- and partial-scale vehicle and composite armor testing under harsh conditions involving salt spray, rain, salt water, solar/UV light, high humidity and sand conditions, in addition to freezing, thawing and dry heat.
Championed by Congressman Sander Levin and supported by U.S. Sens. Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow, the federal grant for this environmental chamber was included in the military appropriations bill recently signed by President George W. Bush.
"Innovative materials are playing a vital role in the development of military technologies that protect our troops in the field," said Rep. Levin. "It is important to develop these cutting-edge technologies here in Michigan because of our strong roots in research and development."
Lawrence Tech has been working on vehicle armor research for several years with the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and the Army Tank-Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) in Warren. CIMR, which was dedicated earlier this year, was built with the help of a cooperative research agreement with ARL and close technical and research direction from TARDEC.
The environmental/loading chamber to be completed in 2009 will be 20 feet long, 12 feet wide and 12 feet high. Constructed of insulated blocks, it will sit on an insulated deep foundation and have a steel superstructure to hold a heavy-duty, fatigue-rated actuator, a device built into the roof of the chamber capable of delivering impact blows and repeated forces up to 150,000 lbs. on components being tested.
"The chamber will be able to simulate the ability of vehicle components and building construction components to handle loads in different conditions, from freezing and thawing, dry heat and 100 percent humidity," said University Distinguished Professor Nabil Grace, CIMR director and chair of the Department of Civil Engineering at Lawrence Tech.
The environmental/loading chamber will be built to military testing standards, which are more rigorous than industry standards.
"This latest investment will allow us to test materials under a wide range of simulated climate conditions," said Lawrence Tech President Lewis N. Walker. "This important work should help develop better ways to protect our troops and their vehicles, and we anticipate that there may be additional commercial and consumer applications that can help diversify and expand Michigan's economy."
The environmental/loading chamber will complete Grace's plan for four major research components in CIMR. The research facility can test highway bridge components up to 100 feet long for various types of stress under both static and repeated loads up to 1 million pounds of force. A fire/loading chamber installed in 2007 can reach temperatures of 2300 degrees Fahrenheit for testing structural components. Equipment for nanotechnology testing was installed earlier this year.
Lawrence Technological University, ltu.edu, offers over 80 undergraduate, master's and doctoral degree programs in Colleges of Architecture and Design, Arts and Sciences, Engineering and Management. Founded in 1932, the 4,500-student, private university pioneered evening classes 75 years ago, and today has a growing number of weekend and online programs. Lawrence Tech's 102-acre campus is in Southfield, with education centers in Lansing, Livonia, Clinton Township, Traverse City and Petoskey. Lawrence Tech also offers programs with partner universities in Canada, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Britons segregate social and shopping
4 March 2014
LONDON: A significant proportion of Britons shopping online are not interested in seeing retailers on social media and may actually trust them less as a result, a report has said.
For its
E-commerce: Trust in Online Transactions
report, market researcher YouGov SixthSense commissioned a survey among 1,096 UK adults aged 16 and over who shop online. More than half (55%) of respondents said that a store's presence on a social networking site made them
trust the retailer less
. Conversely, 27% indicated that they trusted a retailer more.
Facebook and Twitter emerged slightly ahead of other social media, with 33% of Facebook users and 37% of Twitter users saying they trusted a retailer more if they were on such a site, but there was still widespread scepticism as 55% and 52% respectively said their trust was reduced.
One in four (39%) indicated a preference for keeping social media and shopping activities separate. And in a related finding, a similar proportion (42%) said that social networking sites were for contact with friends, not for shopping.
Perhaps surprisingly, these attitudes were more prevalent among younger consumers: some 57% of 16-24 year olds were opposed to sites such as Twitter and Facebook linking with their purchasing history and three in five (61%) preferred to keep their social networking and online shopping activity separate.
James McCoy, Research Director at YouGov, noted the simultaneous rise of social media and online shopping in recent years but said the survey showed consumers liked to keep the two separate.
"What is worse for retailers is that younger, more social media savvy consumers are the ones who have the greatest objections to using their Facebook and Twitter accounts for shopping," he said. "This is something they will need to address if they are to affectively deploy online marketing budgets."
In addition, social networking sites appeared low in shoppers' online research priorities, with just 10% saying they went there for information. They were far more likely to look at reviews on a retailer's own site (60%), shopping comparison sites (48%) and consumer reviews on third party sites (40%).
In this context the traditional media of TV advertising (26%) and newspapers and magazines (15%) also lagged some way behind.

Meet Your Hosts
"Thank you for a great 2013 camping season! See you next year."
John and Debbie Schuettler had always dreamed of owning their own campground. They were lifelong campers, having progressed from a popup trailer to a fifth wheel over the years.
In 2001, they decided life was just too short not to enjoy what you do for a living, and they purchased the Wapakoneta KOA.
"Customer service is Number One with us," says Debbie. "We treat all of our customers like we would like to be treated - with a welcoming 'hello' and a smile."
In their "pre-KOA" lives, John was a universal grinder operator for 24 years, while Debbie worked as a secretarial supervisor for a law firm for 15 years.
Now, their lives center around getting to know their campers and making their camping experiences memorable.
"We are interested in their travels - where they come from and where they are heading," said Debbie. "Since we are located on a north/south route, we have a lot of overnight camping business. Regardless if you are just passing through, or come for a weekend, or become a seasonal, we want to build a friendship with each and every camper."
"We hope your travels take you through our area. We would love to see you!"

The Success of Failure. ~ Paul Adams
We have the opportunity to listen to that crazy whim of nature that directs us toward a more intuitive relationship with creation.
Failure is a monster in the lore of humankind. It is the grand ogre that can bring about frustration and eat at the soul. Another thing failure is: an open gate and a new horizon. There is no such thing as failure.
We are dropped on this planet with our own particular passion and fire. For some, it rages and pushes us on towards heights unimaginable. We are driven to accomplish, seek, explore and somehow birth that mighty fire that burns within our hallowed walls. Personalities, such as Freud, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Renoir, Van Gogh, John Coltrane, Debussy and others, each on their rocket ship, exemplify being propelled by the ego and the firing of nerve synapses through the human experience at the speed of sound and accomplishment, with the thirst for applause and achievement.
Hitting the wall and making mistakes provides us with invaluable lessons. Playing a guitar, driving a tractor, planting seeds and painting a picture all bloom best from error. Failing is a great teacher. It is God's force of nature molding us like clay.
However, this is a little different. Clay is the perfect disciple or student. Clay has no part in making the decision to become what it will be. It completely surrenders to the artist who molds it into form and reality.
Man, on the other hand, has choice. Failure offers to mold us. It is a co-op between man, God and destiny. An artist, craftsman or worker can use life experience (failure) as an interplay toward growth and learning: Get up, and have at it again!.
Those who have had a completely smooth ride may not have had the opportunity to test themselves. There are those for whom things go smoothly. It is easy to be a bit envious and resentful of those who have not "paid their dues," but this only tends to guide us off-course. Their lives are theirs, ours is ours.
We have the opportunity to develop the strength to get back up again after a fall. We have the opportunity to listen to that crazy whim of nature that directs us toward a more intuitive relationship with creation. We have the ability to become better at what we do.
Those who do not choose to bend and flex with failure are missing the opportunity to paint with nature and circumstance. We are saying no when God asks us to dance and adjust. We deny an opportunity to seek out a different perspective, to learn from mistakes and become better at what we do. We are too busy reacting. We are not listening.
There are problems associated with failure to be sure. Perhaps the first mistake is the inability to see failure as a lesson. Instead, we see it as defeat. We see it as nature's way of telling us, we are never going to be good enough. Defeat can also trigger laziness: "After all, if I didn't get it the first few times, why bother? I'll never be able to get it." And there is this kicker: "I only want to do this (play guitar, paint a picture, etc.), if I am guaranteed to get a result."
Well, there is no guarantee that one's musical technique will surpass Bela Fleck, Eddie Van Halen, or Itzhak Perlman. There is no guarantee that a musical artist will sell a million albums. Hell, there is no guarantee they will sell a CD to anyone other than family and friends. Here is where you can challenge yourself to the purity of action. That is, do what you do out of love. Love is free.
Many years ago,The Beatles sang, "Can't Buy Me Love," and it is true. Love simply is. Love is a gift. Love is being and doing. It is becoming a part of the process of your life in action.
If good musicianship is defined by the amount of pleasure or love we derive from the process, there are many very poor players that are better musicians than highly skilled professionals. Their honesty and love of creation may speak more loudly than virtuosic flair.
Perhaps our most noble goal is do the best we can and use failure as a teacher. Failure must fill our sails toward a destination, not render them impotent, windless and unable to reach the shore. Perhaps the more noble goal is honesty and humility—to accept our abilities (also called limitations) and do the best we can with them. Those so-called limitations help to make a decision that makes our work or art unique and fresh.
We may not be the fastest guitar player in the world, but that does not negate our right to speak. Creating a connection to an audience, or fellow-man, does not have to rely upon technical virtuosity. It relies on an honest level of communication between the creator and listener. It depends on the intention and connection of our heart, soul, and passion. Our work may not have sold a million and reached the masses, but we have used failure to grow beyond our limitation.
We use limitation to paint our picture in a completely different way. We use our limits to speak with a voice that is honest to the creative intent of our work. We use limitation to offer the listener a vision and point of perspective not otherwise experienced before. We grow and succeed within our intent. We have created for love, not money.
To answer the age-old philosophical question, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre Inaugurated in Turin
25 Oct 12
Last night in the Palaolimpico stadium in Turin, the Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre 2012 was opened with an epic feast of speakers, music and spectacle in front of an audience of food communities, volunteers and the public. This morning, an inauguration at the Lingotto exhibition center marked the official opening of the event to visitors.
The opening speech was given by the Director-General of the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, José Graziano da Silva. He emphasized the close links between Slow Food and the FAO, with a focus on the problem of hunger in the world. "We can unite our forces in the fight for sufficient food for everyone," he said. He identified food waste as a crucial problem. "If we managed to cut total food loss and waste by half we would have enough food to feed 1 billion more people," he said. Da Silva's message was clear: "With hunger, the only number acceptable is zero."
A series of speakers then took their turn on stage, bringing stories from every corner of the globe and inspiring both outrage and hope with their experiences. Their stories were recounted through the "words of Terra Madre," key themes that define the Slow Food movement's primary concerns. Carlos Vanegas Valdebenito from Chiloé Island, Chile, spoke poetically of Earth. Indian activist and Slow Food vice-president Vandana Shiva talked about Seeds: the "genocide" of farmer suicides in her country and the scandal of biopiracy. Carmen Martinez, from the Slow Food Tehuacán Amaranth Presidium in Mexico, talked about Water, and Dario Fo, Nobel Laureate in Literature, about Hunger, with a bravura performance in the Commedia dell'Arte tradition telling the story of a starving peasant. After a musical interlude from Roy Paci and a multi-ethnic group of musicians, Nikki Henderson from the People's Grocery in Oakland, California and Alice Waters, Slow Food vice-president and chef, talked about Education; Sergej Ivanov from Serbia spoke about Biodiversity, Yoko Sudo from Fukushima, Japan, about Energy and Edward Mukiibi, coordinator of the Thousand Gardens in Africa project in Uganda, about Network.
The event closed with a rousing speech by Slow Food's founder and president, Carlo Petrini, who focused on the political nature of the movement: "In these years, Terra Madre has been observed with curiosity, seen in terms of anthropology, folklore. No. This reality must be seen as a big political phenomenon." However, he said, the politics of Terra Madre will come with serenity and celebration. "This crisis won't be overcome with sadness. At Terra Madre, politics has taken joy by the hand." Representatives from the world of politics were on hand on Thursday morning for the official opening of the event to the visitors of the Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre.
Piero Fassino, Mayor of Turin, spoke along with the president of the Piedmont Regional Authority, Roberto Cota, and the Italian Minister for Agriculture, Mario Catania, who described the government's efforts to bring attention back to agricultural issues, which have been ignored in past years, and to follow the Slow Food vision for the world of food and farming. Carlo Petrini praised the Minister's understanding of agriculture, and said that the union of the Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre marked the departure point of an extraordinary adventure. His mission, he said, was to make it "the biggest gastronomy and food event in the world."

Aretha Franklin at Home, "in Great Spirits"
Aretha Franklin is home for the holidays.
A publicist for the singer, 68, says Franklin is "in great spirits and very happy to be home where she will be resting in anticipation of spending the upcoming holiday season with her family." The legendary star had spent over a week in a Detroit hospital, where she had surgery for an undisclosed ailment; several sources have said that Franklin is suffering from pancreatic cancer.
PHOTOS: Her unforgettable inauguration moment
Without confirming the cancer reports on record, Franklin's publicist said the surgery was "highly successful."
PHOTOS: Stars who've battled cancer
Franklin herself said in a statement:
"I've been at home for almost three days now. My family and friends who brought me home are taking great care of me. I also have a private nurse who visits on a daily basis. I'm hoping to be strong enough to go out and see the upcoming Sam Cooke play at the Music Hall in Downtown Detroit before January 2, as well as a performance of Dreamgirls at the FOX before it closes."

I had the opportunity to meet Bill Lane when Corte Madera School was host of the Portola Valley Town Picnic during construction of the Town Center. My classroom was open for visitors, showing off our science equipment, specimen, and student work. Live animals from the Portola Valley Nature Center were delighting people just outside the door and Bill tentatively poked his head into the science room. He was barely balancing a heaping plate of barbecue so I ushered him in to make use of our tables and chairs and eat in comfort.
Bill was very friendly and seemed genuinely excited to see what we had to offer at Corte Madera. I was pleased to show off our school and generate good will in the community. Little did I realize when I invited him in that he was such a generous benefactor to teachers in the district. When he introduced himself as Bill Lane, the name rang a bell. A year later, I was writing him a thank you card for helping me buy a home.
Every year the teachers receive a binder from the district with various clerical necessities: time sheets, schedules, field trip request forms, and purchase order requests. In the front pocket of that binder there is always a form to apply for the Bill and Jean Lane Staff Housing Assistance Program. The program offers up to $10,000 for rental expenses or $20,000 toward the down payment on the purchase of a home.
"The application is simple," the form reads. "The interest rate on these loans is 0 percent ... no bank or mortgage company can beat these terms." All true, and it spoke of the generosity and welcoming I felt when I started here eight years ago.
I had the opportunity to take advantage of the program three years ago, and thanks to Bill and Jean Lane, I now have a home to call my own; a home where I have the freedom to paint my walls red and green and where I have to fix my own plumbing. It would not have been possible without the support of the Lane family.
I am very grateful for their support and Bill's legacy lives on in my humble abode and the lives of everyone he touched. My condolences to his family; he will be missed.

SOLESTA is indicated for the treatment of fecal incontinence in patients 18 years and older who have failed conservative therapy (eg. diet, fiber therapy, anti-motility medications).
SOLESTA is a biocompatible tissue bulking agent, injected in the submucosal layer of the anal canal, consisting of a viscous combination of stabilized hyaluronic acid and dextranomer-linked beads. While the exact mechanism of action has not been identified, it is hypothesized that the SOLESTA injections may narrow the anal canal, allowing for better sphincter control.1
Indication for SOLESTA
SOLESTA® is indicated for the treatment of fecal incontinence in patients 18 years and older who have failed conservative therapy (eg. diet, fiber therapy, anti-motility medications).
Important Safety Information for Patients (SOLESTA)
It is important for you to know that SOLESTA® (hyaluronic acid/dextranomer) does not work for everyone and you may not benefit from SOLESTA treatment. It is also important for you to know that you may not experience immediate improvement after your first treatment with SOLESTA and the full effects of SOLESTA may not be apparent until 3 to 6 months after treatment.
People who have an infection or who are currently experiencing bleeding in the rectum or anus should not receive SOLESTA. People who have problems in the rectum or anus, such as tumor, abnormal anatomy, large dilated blood vessels (hemorrhoids), or cracks in the tissue (anal fissures) should not receive SOLESTA. People who have active inflammation of their bowels (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) should not receive SOLESTA. People who have trouble fighting off infection (immunodeficiency disorder such as HIV/AIDS) or who take medication to suppress the immune system, such as those used in cancer or organ transplant patients, should not receive SOLESTA. If you already have a device or material placed in your rectum or anus, or if you have had radiation treatments in your pelvic area before, you should not receive SOLESTA. You should tell your doctor if you have any allergies or if you had problems with your rectum or anus in the past.
The most common risks of treatment with SOLESTA are mild or moderate pain or discomfort in the rectum or anus, and minor to moderate bleeding or spotting from the rectum following treatment. Some patients experience fever, stomach problems such as diarrhea or constipation, and infection after treatment.
More serious risks including infection and inflammation of the tissue in the anus may occur but are not common.

Hurricane Mutiny
You should leave a window open slightly during a hurricane to equalize pressure.
[Collected via e-mail, 2005]
Is it true or false that one should open a window slightly during a hurricane to equalize the inner pressure of a house and the outside lower pressure of the hurricane?
The helplessness many homeowners feel during the approach of a destructive storm contributes to the belief of a number of hurricane falsities. While people can get themselves and their loved ones out of the way of a hurricane about to make landfall, they cannot move their homes and so have to abandon them to the ravages of nature.
Homeowners in hurricane areas do try to shield their property from weather-caused damage, but many of the popularly-believed defenses they resort to are ineffective, and one can contribute to far greater degrees of wreckage being visited upon their domiciles.
That latter tidbit of misinformation asserts that to relieve pressure from building up within the house during a hurricane and causing the building's roof to blow off, one should leave a few windows either fully open or slightly cracked. But the opposite is true: windows should be tightly shut to prevent any of the wind from entering the home. What does enter will seek to exit, in the process blowing out a roof or ceiling, collapsing a gable end or a garage door. Wherever the home's weak point is, such rogue winds will find it and assault it.
The notion of keeping some windows slightly cracked open during hurricanes crossed over from what was at one time touted as an effective defense against tornadoes but which has since been discredited. In the wake of devastating twisters, it would sometimes appear that a few houses had exploded; from this evidence, scientists theorized air pressure outside had to have been far lower than it was inside, with this disparity causing the blowout. It was therefore suggested people leave their windows open just a bit to equalize pressure.
However, further research showed those blasted apart houses were the result of wind blowing into open or broken windows, so the advice, rather than
this particular form of destruction, would actually work to
it. Those gusts that entered homes pushed up on the roofs at the same time wind was blowing over them, which made the roofs act like airplane wings and generate lifting force. Once roofs lift off, the walls of homes can fall outward, making it look like the buildings exploded.
Other widely relied upon modes of protecting one's home from the ravages of a hurricane are also ineffective:
Contrary to popular belief (and a frantic rise in the sales of these items before a hurricane hits), taping a home's windows with masking or duct tape does nothing to protect them. The windows will still break, with the tape doing nothing to impede the process. It's questionable that either sealant will even keep broken glass from dispersing, says the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH).
"Hurricane film," a clear film that sticks onto the glass, is similarly ineffective unless it is anchored in the window frame. Lacking that, a film-covered window will withstand only whatever wind load it resists without the film.
All windows and doors of a home need to be protected from hurricane winds, not just the ones facing the ocean. Wind can come from any direction or angle and may change direction quickly.
While many mobile home owners think storm shutters and tie-downs will preserve their domiciles from pounding storms, this sort of dwelling cannot withstand more than minimal hurricane winds. Tie-down anchors come loose as the ground becomes saturated by the rain.
But it's not all doom and gloom; homeowners do have some recourse against the winds. They can install hurricane shutters on their windows or use specially developed new screen and fabric products on them. The mesh and fabric range from about $7 to about
$25 a square foot.
Plywood, while better than nothing, is not the home saver many believe it to be. It can help to guard windows from some of the flying debris loosed by a storm's fury. However, against the winds themselves it is not all that effective, even when properly installed (fitted perfectly to each window and screwed at
intervals into the building itself rather than merely into its siding). Plywood is a bulwark of last resort rather than a poor man's equivalent of professionally-installed hurricane shutters; one is not comparable to the other. Keep in mind that as Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) spokeswoman Sylvia E. Farrington noted, even a minimal hurricane can drill a
through a concrete wall. Now imagine how well plywood window coverings would fare.
One last caution: If you stay in your home during a hurricane and the power goes out, do not light candles or gas or oil lanterns because of the potential for gas leaks from storm-damaged lines. Instead, use only flashlights or battery-powered lanterns during and after a storm until power is safely restored and all gas lines are checked.

|The Game Story:
|YORK, PA � On a sun splashed, windy late winter afternoon, the York College men�s lacrosse team defeated Widener University 9-5 at York�s Kinsley Field. The victory perks the Spartan record to 5-1 as the green and white have won four straight. The Pride drops to 1-3 on the season.
Adam Cooper (Bel Air, Md./Bel Air) gave York the initial 1-0 lead 1:51 into the game on a Mike LaRoque (Arnold, Md./DeMatha) assist. Kyle Henninger (Millers, Md./Hereford) added to the Spartans� lead with 11:51 to go in the first frame. The senior�s 12th goal of the season came off a Ryan McNicholas (Fallston, Md./Fallston) assist and put the green and white up 2-0.
Widener�s Clint Quedenfeld answered seven seconds later to cut the Spartan advantage to one. He then proceeded to tally two more scores to put his squad up 3-2 with 7:31 left in the second stanza.
Rob Marine (Bel Air, Md./Bel Air) tied the score with his fourth goal of the season at the 5:37 mark of the second quarter. McNicholas then closed out the first half scoring with a goal off a Kalen Roundy (Ijamsville, Md./Urbana) assist and gave the Spartans the 4-3 halftime lead.
The third period proved a battle of defensive units, as neither team was able to forge much offense. York�s LaRoque was able to break through for the period�s only score at 7:13 to give York the 5-3 lead.
An offensive explosion erupted in the fourth frame as the sides combined for six goals. LaRoque tallied his second of the contest with 9:30 left in the game while Henninger completed York�s 5-0 run with his 8:48 notch from a McNicholas pass. York now held a 7-3 advantage.
JJ Hoeffler cut the Spartan lead to three with a goal at the 7:32 mark but Steve Roy (Feasterville, Pa./Archbishop Wood) answered for the Spartans with 4:40 remaining.
With the green and white comfortably ahead at 8-4, Widener�s Cory Malampy made the game a little less comfortable for the home squad with a tally at the 2:20 mark. With the score now at 8-5, McNicholas squelched any attempt for a comeback as he scored with 1:28 left in the game as the assist was credited to Chris Norman (Annapolis, Md./Broadneck).
For the game, the Spartans held a 43-24 lead in shots and a 39-30 advantage in ground balls. The most telling statistic was Widener�s 33 turnovers as the Spartans only gave the ball away 19 times.
McNicholas had a great day for the Spartans notching a pair of scores and two assists. Henninger�s two scores gives the senior a team-leading 13 on the season while he posted one assist. LaRoque also scored twice and registered one helper. Junior defenseman Steve Mersinger (Westminster, Md./Westminster) tallied a game-high eight ground balls and caused a pair of Widener turnovers.
Quedenfeld paced the Pride as he had a hand in each of his squad�s five tallies. The senior attackman posted a hat trick and two helpers to bump his season totals to 14 goals and six assists. Hoeffler and Malampy each chipped in with one goal apiece. Additionally, Justin Upp was dominant for the Pride on face-offs winning 10-of-15.
Matt Keeler (Morton, Pa./Ridley) earns the win between the Spartan pipes notching four saves in his 60 minutes of work. Tim Collins takes the loss for Widener registering 14 saves for the contest.
The Spartans return to action this Saturday as they travel to Capital Athletic Conference foe Wesley College. Start time from Dover, Del. is slated for 1:00 pm.

In the debate about poverty, critics argue that government assistance saps initiative and is unaffordable. After exploring the issue, I must concede that the critics have a point. Here are five public welfare programs that are wasteful and turning us into a nation of "takers."
First, welfare subsidies for private planes. The United States offers three kinds of subsidies to tycoons with private jets: accelerated tax write-offs, avoidance of personal taxes on the benefit by claiming that private aircraft are for security, and use of air traffic control paid for by chumps flying commercial.
As the leftists in the George W. Bush administration put it when they tried unsuccessfully to end this last boondoggle: "The family of four taking a budget vacation is subsidizing the CEOs flying on a corporate jet."
I worry about those tycoons sponging off government. Won't our pampering damage their character? Won't they become addicted to the entitlement culture, demanding subsidies even for their yachts? Oh, wait ...
Second, welfare subsidies for yachts. The mortgage-interest deduction was meant to encourage a home-owning middle class. But it has been extended to provide subsidies for beach homes and even yachts.
In the meantime, money was slashed last year from the public housing program for America's neediest. Hmm. How about if we house the homeless in these publicly supported yachts?
Third, welfare subsidies for hedge funds and private equity. The single most outrageous tax loophole in the United States is for "carried interest," allowing people with the highest earnings to pay paltry taxes. They can magically reclassify their earned income as capital gains, because that carries a lower tax rate (a maximum of 23.8 percent this year, compared with a maximum of 39.6 percent for earned income).
Let's just tax capital gains at earned income rates, as we did under President Ronald Reagan, that notorious scourge of capitalism.
Fourth, welfare subsidies for America's biggest banks. The too-big-to-fail banks in the United States borrow money unusually cheaply because of an implicit government promise to rescue them. Bloomberg View calculated last year that this amounts to a taxpayer subsidy of $83 billion to our 10 biggest banks annually.
President Barack Obama has proposed a bank tax to curb this subsidy, and this year a top Republican lawmaker, Dave Camp, endorsed the idea as well. Big banks are lobbying like crazy to keep their subsidy.

These are easy and can be a separate first course if you make room in your frig (garage, porch?) for individual salad plates. Can also be arranged on a big platter or chop plate.
Can follow with casserole, spiced peaches, hot bread and easy dessert.
Can follow with casserole, spiced peaches, hot bread and easy dessert.
IngredientsVeggies either raw or par-boiled in flavored broth. Quickly shock in ice water until you are sure they are no longer cooking. Dry and wrap in paper towel and refrig until ready to use.
Consider broccoli, mushrooms, asparagus, cauliflower, whatever.
For uncooked try canned artichoke hearts, hearts of palm, carrots, cherry tomato, cucumber, olives, hard boiled egg or deviled egg, canned plain or pickled beets, red, yellow bell peppers, scallions, etc. I try to always include either asparagus or avocado.

What is mucormycosis?
Mucormycosis is the general term that indicates any fungal infection caused by various genera of the class Zygomycetes. Another term used in medical and lay publications that means the same is phycomycosis. Mucormycosis can result in an acute, rapidly advancing, and occasionally fatal disease caused by different fungi commonly found in the soil or environment. These fungal infections are diagnosed relatively infrequently; however, they occur in individual people who are debilitated in some major way (uncontrolled diabetics, immunodepressed patients) and occasionally in groups of people that are injured (often multiple injuries and penetrating injuries that are contaminated with soil and water from the environment). Such groups of people are those that are injured in disasters such as tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes or tornadoes, where otherwise healthy people can have contaminated soil and water inhaled, embedded in wounds, or simply forced into skin, mouth, eyes, and nose by the force of water, soil, or wind pressure. The disease is not passed person to person. The most recent cluster of mucormycosis infections in people have been reported in individuals who initially survived the Joplin, Missouri, devastating tornadoes on May 23, 2011. At least 15 patients, all with severe wounds, have been diagnosed and at least five have died, in part due to mucormycosis as of June 17, 2011, but the CDC investigation is ongoing, and these numbers are likely to change, according to CDC officials.
Because the majority of mucormycosis infections are caused by one family member in the class of Zygomycetes (family member Mucoraceae), many clinicians now term the disease mucormycosis instead of zygomycosis, the more "general" term. The lay press has used terms like "Black Death" and "Zombie disease" to describe this fungal infection but such terms seldom help people to understand this disease. Such terms may cause misunderstandings between the patients, their families, and the public; many clinicians think these potentially harmful or cruel terms should not be used by responsible individuals.

[Intro: Coko]
Here come the Men in Black
(It's the MiBs, uhh, here come the MiBs)
Here come the Men in Black
They won't let you remember
Nah nah nah
[Verse 1: Will Smith]
The good guys dress in black remember that
Just in case we ever face to face and make contact
The title held by me: MiB
Means what you think you saw, you did not see
So don't blink be what was there
Is now gone, black suit with the black RayBans on
Walk in shadow, move in silence
Guard against extra-terrestrial violence
But yo we ain't on no government list
We straight don't exist, no names and no fingerprints
Saw somethin' strange, watch your back
Cause you never quite know where the MiBs is at
Uh and...
[Hook: Coko]
Here come the Men in Black (Men in Black...)
Galaxy defenders (oooh, oooh, oooh)
Here come the Men in Black (Men in Black...)
They won't let you remember (won't let you remember...)
[Verse 2: Will Smith]
Uh uh, uh uh, now
From the deepest of the darkest of night
On the horizon, bright light enters site tight
Cameras zoom on the impending doom
But then like *BOOM* black suits fill the room up
With the quickness talk with the witnesses
Hypnotizer, neuralizer
Vivid memories turn to fantasies
Ain't no MiBs, can I please
Do what we say that's the way we kick it
YanahImean? I see my noisy cricket get wicked on ya
We're your first, last and only line of defense
Against the worst scum of the universe
So don't fear us, cheer us
If you ever get near us, don't jeer us, we're the fearless
MiBs, freezin up all the flack
(What's that stand for?) Men in Black
Uh, and
(The Men in Black...)
Uh, and
(The Men in Black...)
Let me see ya just bounce it with me, just bounce with me (bounce with me...)
Just bounce it with me c'mon
Let me see ya just slide with me, just slide with me (slide, slide, slide, slide)
Just slide with me c'mon
Let me see ya take a walk with me, just walk it with me (walk with me...)
Take a walk with me c'mon
And make your neck work
Now freeze... (uh huh huh ha...)
[Verse 3]
Alright check it, let me tell you this in closin'
I know we might seem imposin'
But trust me if we ever show in your section
Believe me, it's for your own protection
Cause we see things that you need not see
And we be places that you need not be
So go witcha life, forget that Roswell crap
Show love to the black suit, cause that's the Men in...
That's the Men in...

Comment on Miku's Day Live Spectacular by Artefact:
Thanks, this is it but it is far to large to do anything with I think. I'd still like to repost them but the amount of effort involved is looking prohibitive.
In any case, if it's not possible for a site of any size to post videos of an actual Vocaloid event without hassle from Sega it hardly seems worth bothering. Bizarre that they don't want the publicity, but there you are.
Artefact made other comments on this post:
- Miku's Day Live Spectacular:
They obviously have the rights but what they are doing is precisely at odds with what made Vocaloids so successful in the first place.
- Miku's Day Live Spectacular:
Sega obviously don't appreciate the attitude to sharing and free promotion which made Miku great. Quite an outrageous attitude when they are not even the primary copyright holders of either the characters or the songs. Since they are going to keep knocking off the major video hosts I won't bother replacing them, but if anyone provides me with these or their equivalents I will see if they can be restored using more robust hosting.

By GREG STANFIELDPrincipalCarbon High School
With all of the incidents that have happened across the nation in schools, businesses, etc., we at Carbon High School want to be prepared. The administration and director of security of Carbon High are concerned and want to do all we can to protect our students and staff.
This year, we have come up with a more detailed plan when it comes to emergencies such as fire drills, intruders in the building, lockdowns etc. The teachers have been given a plan which has been discussed with their students. As a school, we have and will continue to practice for these emergencies. We do take this seriously, and we want the students to know we do want to keep them safe.
Some other procedures we are implementing in this safety plan We as MOWS: (We need the community and parents to support us in these measures.) Each staff member has been issued and wears a photo ID badge daily so emergency responders can identify staff members immediately, if and when an emergency occurs. All guest teachers will also wear an ID badge to identify their role in our building. We are also asking all visitors, when they come into our building, to check in at the main office. Even if you are visiting the attendance office, you must sign in at the main office. You will be issued an ID badge which you will return when you leave the building. By doing this, we have better control of who, when and where strangers are in the building.
We are also going to be issuing a student photo ID badge to all students and they must wear these when they are attending school and activities. We have so many students that come on our campus, and we are not sure are or why they are on our campus. By doing this, we can easily identify our students and know who should be in our school. Parents and guardians, we want you to encourage your students to wear their I.D. badges daily. Again, we are doing this to protect your student.
In regards to entrances to the building after 8:30 a.m., the only doors that will be unlocked will be the front main entrance doors. Everyone entering the building must enter and sign in at the office. We have provided an elevator to help those needing handicap access. Those entering the building are recorded on surveillance cameras. It is imperative that we know who is in our school.
As a community, we want you to support us in our efforts to keep students and staff safe. We hope we never have a crisis that has happened too many times across America over the years, but we at Carbon do want to make every effort to be prepared and prevent this from happening here.
If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact the administration at Carbon High School.
