CANTON Taxpayers in the Canton Central School District will be asked to approve a budget that increases the school tax levy by 2.56 percent when they go the polls May 20.
School board members unanimously approved the $26,522,577 spending plan Thursday evening after reviewing a presentation from Superintendent William A. Gregory.
The proposed 2014-15 budget represents a $2.2 million hike over this years $24,303,124 budget, a 9.13 percent spending increase. The budget hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. May 8.
Based on a tax levy increase of 2.56 percent, the property tax rate would increase from $19.65 per $1,000 of assessed value to $20.15.
Giving an example of the impact, the owner of a house assessed at $100,000 who receives the Basic STAR exemption would see his school tax bill increase from $1,376 to $1,411, a $35 increase. Those with Enhanced STAR would see their taxes remain at $721. Those without a STAR rebate, including business and commercial property, would see a $50 hike, with the tax bill increasing from $1,965 to $2,015.
Mr. Gregory said district taxpayers may be receiving a rebate check from the state because the districts budget stays within the states tax cap limit. The rebate proposal was introduced by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to encourage school districts and municipalities to stay within the tax cap.
According to data reviewed by the school board, the Canton school taxes have increased by an average of 4.49 percent a year over the past 12 years. Last May, voters approved a budget with a 5.4 percent hike.
The largest expenses in the proposed budget are $9,942,091 for general and special education and $6,089,342 for health insurance for active and retired employees and their families.
The budget also includes $2.8 million for debt service and interfund transfers, $1.2 million for the teacher retirement system and $605,100 for the employee retirement system. The allocation for transportation is $1,276,440.
The board is scheduled to meet again at 4:30 p.m. Monday to vote on the administrative budget for St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services and elect BOCES board members.

Yan Research Group
Nanomaterials Chemistry
The central theme of our research program is functional surfaces and interfaces with specific applications in nanomaterials and nanoelectronics. Surfaces as the outmost boundary play a critical role in the functions of materials and devices. The need of surface engineering for nanomaterials and nanodevices is both inherent, i.e., high surface energy at the nanoscale, and application driven where ligands presented on the surface act as points of contact communicating with external receptors. An intricate balance must be achieved in order to provide the multifaceted functions of the surface ligands in preventing nanomaterials from agglomerating, presenting the necessary molecular recognition functions, and at the same time preserving the physical properties of the nanomaterials for translating the molecular recognition events into reliable readouts.
Research in our laboratory focuses on developing new surface chemistry that is general, efficient, can accommodate ligand diversity, maintain ligand bioaffinity, and give bioactive and stable interfaces. Current projects focus on the synthesis of functional nanomaterials and their applications in theranosis and nanoelectronics.
Some of our recent research projects are summarized in the poster below [click to download].

Well, there goes that reference letter. A former Harper's Bazaar fashion closet intern is suing the magazine's publisher Hearst for unpaid wages– and she's trying to get other unpaid interns to sign onto a class action suit that could challenge the way the fashion industry (and in fact many industries) rely on the labor of eager young people just trying to get their foot in the door.
Media Decoder reports that Xuedan Wang, who interned in the fashion department at Bazaar from December 2010 to December 2011, worked more like an employee than an intern and wants to be paid for it. Her lawsuit, filed today in New York, claims that she worked 40 hour weeks — and sometimes up to 55 hour weeks — managing the fashion closet and supervising other unpaid interns as they handled merchandise requests, picked up clothes to be shot for the pages of the magazine and made sure they were returned to the right place at the right time. Wang and her lawyers want to make their case into a class action suit, saying that hundreds of former and current interns at Hearst's magazines have found themselves similarly unpaid.
The rules on unpaid internships are pretty clear: The Labor Department says that unpaid interns can't replace the work of regular employees, and that they can only be unpaid if they're being trained to do something and whatever work they doesn't make the company any richer. But for anyone who's worked at a fashion house or a fashion publication (everyone on staff here at Styleite included), Wang's situation is all too familiar. It's not like it's important scientific research, but fashion internships often operate like full-time jobs that you don't get paid to do. There are more magazines and brands that take advantage of young people who've been told they have to break their backs for no wages in order to pay their dues and get ahead than don't.
"Unpaid interns are becoming the modern-day equivalent of entry-level employees, except that employers are not paying them for the many hours they work," said Adam Klein, one of the lawyers for Ms. Wang. "The practice of classifying employees as 'interns' to avoid paying wages runs afoul of federal and state wage and hour laws."
Some internships offer college credit instead of pay as a way to skirt those laws, which means that some people end up paying expensive college course fees in order to work for free. It eliminates the possibility of an unpaid internship for someone who can't afford to work for free, much less pay for the privilege.
Still, not every intern is unpaid — there are plenty of interns across a lot of industries who are paid (even at Hearst!), and some are even fairly well paid. But as far as fashion is concerned that's not often the case. We wonder if Wang's suit will change that.

Race 2 Movie To Hit The Theatres Next Year – New Casts Signed On Promising A Grand Feature
After the blockbuster success of Race, the 2008 action thriller, the director duo Abbas-Mustan has announced a sequel to the original movie. The new sequel is titled as Race 2 and is about to hit the theatres next year in 2012, 30th November. Race 2 would be produced by the same producers Ramesh and Kumar .S Taurani who have promised to bring a bigger and a much better feature with the new release looking at the rising expectations of the fans from the upcoming release.
Race 2 would comprise of a huge cast much like the previous film. The starring includes a few names from the earlier flick while the major potion of the film would have new additions.
Among the existing actors the directors have retained Saif Ali Khan (as Ranvir Singh) and Anil Kapoor (as the Inspector Robert). Bipasha Basu (Sonia) is also there but would be featured only as a special appearance.
Among the new stars, Race 2 has signed on John Abraham (Chotu) who would be playing the antagonist in the film. Besides, the film includes some of the promising Bollywood hotties like Deepika Padukone, Amisha Patel and the latest sensation Jacqueline Fernandez.
Deepika is paired opposite Khan while Jacqueline is supposed to sizzle opposite Abraham. Padukone's role was earlier offered to Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra but it's the leggy Mangalorian who bagged the role finally.
Similarly, Jacqueline's part was previously thought for Sonakshi Sinha and Zarine Khan but ultimately it was the gorgeous Sri Lankan damsel who was signed on.
Both Deepika and Jacqueline are declared to have a significant hold in the Race sequel. Deepika especially has been rumored to have some bold appearances in film. She would also be donning some trendy short and ultra-glam outfits for which she has been asked to lose a considerable weight. The actress is reported to taking pilates session for getting in the desired shape.
There's no news about Anil Kapoor's pairing which was earlier supposed to be donned by Chitrangada Singh but she was dropped out citing no specific reasons.
Shiraz Ahmed has been roped in to do the screenplay and story of Race 2. The cinematography of the new film would be handled by Ravi Yadav and Pritam is in charge of the film's music much like the earlier release. The film would be edited by Hussain Burmawala and the distributors here are Tips Music Films and UTV Motion Pictures.
The shooting of Race2 has already started in Mumbai from 5th of November, 2011.

Figs Grille is my third restaurant in this area. I wanted to open this restaurant because I wanted to create Mediterranean dishes. My other two restaurants are Italian. Three years ago, I went to Turkey, Italy, France, Spain and Morocco and I tried a few dishes from each country. That inspired me to bring Mediterranean cuisine here.

4. What types of work experience or training were required for you to run your business?
I'm actually an accountant. I finished my college degree in Cairo, Egypt. I worked part-time in the Hilton in Cairo when I was in college. When I moved here, to the New Jersey and New York area, I started from the bottom as a dish washer. After that, I took it step by step, working under good chefs. Then, I went to work as a book keeper, but I felt that my passion was the restaurant business. After that, I took steps to open my three restaurants.
5. What are your goals for the future of your business?
I'd like to be healthy and to be able to be in this business for as long as I can.

National Parks Group Names Alexander Brash Head of New Office in NYC
|September 21, 2004
|Alexander Brash, National Parks Conservation Association, 212-318-2989
Andrea Keller Helsel, National Parks Conservation Association, 202-454-3332
National Parks Group Names Alexander Brash Head of New Office in NYC
"Alex brings a wealth of knowledge about New York City, its natural resources, and cultural history to NPCA," said Tom Kiernan, president of the nonpartisan national parks group. "We are delighted to have such a parks veteran head our New York office."
Brash will work to build local awareness of national park issues and develop public and congressional support for the federal funding needed to preserve and care for national parks in New York City and across the nation. Research has shown that national parks operate, on average, with only two-thirds of the needed funding--a system-wide shortfall in excess of $600 million annually.
The nine national parks in New York City include Castle Clinton in Battery Park, an immigration center that welcomed more than eight million people to the U.S. in the late 1800s; Federal Hall on Wall Street, built in 1842 on the site where George Washington was sworn into office as president; the beaches of Gateway National Recreation Area; Gen. Grant's tomb in Riverside Park; Teddy Roosevelt's brownstone birthplace in Gramercy Park; and the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
A native New Yorker, Brash previously supervised the natural resources group of the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, where he worked for 15 years in various capacities. He has also held positions with the American Museum of Natural History, World Wildlife Fund, The Nature Conservancy, the National Park Service, and the U.S. Forest Service. Brash holds a B.S. from Connecticut College and a graduate degree from Yale University's School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. He studied quantitative ecology at Rutgers University.
"I am delighted to join NPCA-the recognized leader of national park advocacy," Brash said.
In an effort to increase public awareness of national parks in New York City, NPCA last summer launched a regional television public service campaign featuring Jerry Seinfeld, Walter Cronkite, rehabbing New York Knicks guard Allan Houston, and Univision talk show host Cristina Saralegui. The PSAs encourage local audiences to visit New York City's national parks.

Addison said the Grand Haven event was the only road race she's competed in during the summer. She was in top form, as she turned in a time of 37 minutes, 1 second.
"I'm leaving for the start of camp for cross country on the 24th of August, so I'm using this to get ready," she said.
Addison, 20, beat out Spring Lake's Jen Tiles, 30, by just over a minute. Other local finishers in the top 10 included Melissa Richardson (5th female finisher, 42:01); Elizabeth Gervais (6th, 42:01) , and Ashley Rice (8th 43:08).
In the men's 10K race, Hanover native Taylor Heath, 18, was the top overall finisher, with a chip time of 33:15 -- nearly seven minutes faster than runner-up Greg Madendorp, 18, of Whitehall.
Heath runs collegiately at Lake Superior State and said his finish on the Grand Haven course was his fastest 10K ever.
Earlier in the morning, Pinckney's Mark Wehrman, 24, was the top finisher in the 5K race, clocking in at 16:15. He defeated Grand Rapids' Russ Werra by 15 seconds.
The only local finisher in the top 10 was Spring Lake graduate Tyler Fedewa, who took ninth.
In the women's 5K, Rockford 15-year-old Taylor Manett crossed the finish line in first with a time of 18:21. A pair of expected local standouts in the upcoming prep cross country season -- Spring Lake's Brittany Beeler and Grand Haven's Claire Borchers -- were fourth and eighth, respectively.
The event was designed to be family friendly, as a 1-mile fun run was also held, as well as a "Tot Trot" obstacle course.

Lancome Le Curler
I trust my lashes to Shu. Don't get wrong I have a ton of lash curlers I love like my Chanel and my Koji but I always go back to Shu. It's just my favorite lash curler.
Put do you think Lancome Le Curler might change my mind?
The new Lancome Le Curler promises an all around gentle lash curling experience with a specially designed no slip grip and a unique silicone pad to guard against breakage while cushioning lashes.
I like how Lancome is damn up front and honest about the fact that it contains two pads only without an option to purchase a refill. They say for maximum precision and to avoid damage to the eyes you should replace the curler after the pads are used. You get two refills I believe and they suggest changing every three months which means within a six month period I have to spend $23 for another curler….mmmm….guys, that's not great marketing.
It is a bit more costly than by Shu Curler by three bucks…
I'll try anything once though.
Perhaps Le Curler is even BETTER than Shu…
It's available during a Flash Sale for the next 48 Hours at www.lancome-usa.com
Whatcha think?
4/19/12 15:13 Cj:
I have only ever used shu's curler. I haven't bought or tried any other eyelash curler lol. When I first got into makeup everyone said shu's is the best so I just went with it
4/19/12 15:32 Tammie:
I use Shiseido's because I heard it's very good. I love it and I can't see why I would spend another $20+ on another one haha :).
4/19/12 16:49 Suzie:
I love the Dior heated lash curler. The others pinch-Shu, Tarte, and Sheisedo.
4/19/12 16:57 D-tan:
I used to swear my lashes to Shu like most people, but surprisingly I have found the NYX eyelash curler to be perfect for my pin-straight Asian lashes! It's only about $5-7 too so I have been definitely saving tons of money thanks to switching 😀
This is interesting though! Although I'd have to go see it in person at a counter before deciding if I want to switch or not.
4/19/12 17:16 Ruth:
eyelash curlers scare the bejezus outta me! they look like a torture device in a horror movie to keep you awake for days and days. eventually, with so little sleep, it would drive you insane and you wouldn't know if you were awake or asleep.
4/19/12 18:21 Michelle:
***gets up on soapbox*** You bet it's not great marketing! In fact, if I may be so bold, it's one of the silliest beauty marketing claims I've ever heard in the beauty industry. Replace your eyelash curler every 3 months? Come on! My mom had her trusty old Maybelline curler from the 70's for years and she always got great results with it, plus her eyes never got "damaged" from it as far as I know (naturally, she always replaced the pads!) I'm sorry Muse, but I think this claim is nonsense. Thanks for listening to me rant.
4/21/12 3:59 Angel:
4/19/12 21:12 Stellar:
The only one I have liked so far was Koji, though mine came in a different packaging. I have really slanted mono/hooded eyes so this one really fit my eye shape 😀 Pretty cheap as well so I will pass. Though I do wanna try Shiseido and the famous Shu Uemura.
4/20/12 11:08 Linda:
Shu and LANcome are owned by same company so maybe they shared some secrets
4/20/12 12:39 Linda:
Per my MA that use to be with Shu they also own Armani and YSl too
4/20/12 14:08 Jennie:
My eyelashes are naturally curly (and pretty big) so I don't really see the use of spending so much money on a curler. I have a $1 one for e.l.f. and barely use it. I think this is more necessary for those who use false eyelashes. But it's still nice. I love Lancome but I can't justify paying so much for this.
4/20/12 15:20 Angel:
I remember watching a Shu makeup artist on the Q last year. While he presented the curler, he went on and on about how you should replace your curler every three months! WTF, are you kidding me!?!? Beside the fact that the Shu doesn't work for me at all because of my eye shape, I was seriously turned off by the whole sales pitch. I use Tarte's curler and my tried and true Revlon, which I've been using on and off since high school. For the price, you can't beat it.
4/21/12 3:58 Angel:
LOL not the real SHU, just a makeup artist cronie pushing the goods!

About Townsend MyersNOLA Criminal Law is me...
...Townsend Myers.
I am 1989 graduate of the University of South Carolina Honors College, magna cum laude, and a 1993 graduate of the University of Chicago Law School. While in law school, I completed a clinical education program with a concentration in criminal law. After graduation I began my career as an assistant public defender with the Cook County Public Defender s Office in Chicago. I have been a criminal lawyer, and only a criminal lawyer, ever since.
In 1996, I returned to New Orleans, establishing my professional career with the Orleans Parish Public Defender's Office. In early 1998, I established NOLA Criminal Law, because I sensed there was a need for a lawyer like me - a lawyer who was willing to try to do things a little bit differently than most. What I mean is this: sometimes lawyers don't make any sense. Sometimes clients feel like their lawyer doesn't understand them or their problems. In criminal law especially, effective communication is HUGE. If your lawyer doesn't understand your problem, your lawyer can't help you solve it.
NOLA Criminal Law exists because I want to understand your problem. It exists because I am interested in being a lawyer without always having to act like a lawyer (I do, however, dress like a lawyer). I promise that I will act like a regular person, who happens also to be a good lawyer.
NOLA Criminal Law also exists because I want to help solve your problem. My goal is to provide a top-notch professional service to all of my clients, while still maintaining a level of personal dedication to each individual client. I promise that your criminal problem, whatever it is, will get the attention it deserves, and hopefully the result you expect.
NOLA Criminal Law also exists because it is my experience that when you have a criminal problem, you need a criminal lawyer. Over the course of my career, I have handled well over four thousand felony criminal cases, hundreds of DWI case, and countless misdemeanor and traffic cases. I promise you the fruits of that experience when I show up in court to handle your case.

Jim Hummel took a look at some recent City Hall spending in his Oct. 2 report revealing that Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt's son and members of his baseball league were the only workers in a Woonsocket "summer jobs" program.
According to documents obtained by Hummel, the workers - 10 boys between the ages of 15 and 18 – earned some $5,700 this year in part time street cleaning positions that were never advertised.
Baldelli-Hunt tells Hummel "The amount of people that knew about it...more

A wise man once said, "never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel."
The source of the quote is disputed, and the message can be both liberating and cringe-worthy for journalists.

But a reporter ultimately choses what goes into print and what stays out. A single reporter at a well-established publication...more

I was getting ready to leave Landmark Medical Center just past 7 p.m. on Thursday Feb. 20 when the announcement came over the intercom. "Code Silver" a calm female voice announced, then repeated.

Much has been said about the reasons for Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt's landslide win in Woonsocket's municipal election in November.
Was it her well organized group of volunteers? A grassroots door to door effort? Her record on the House floor? Her political platform, or well thought out message for voters? Her abundance of signs, flyers and political advertisements?
I, for one, believe the the answer is simple. Faced with declining property values and tax bills they couldn't...more

A story regarding a proposal to fill vacancies on the Woonsocket Fire Department with "on call" employees has taken on a life of its own, thanks, in part, to a misinterpretation of an article I penned for the September 26 edition.

How the Authy Two-Factor backups work
Yesterday Google Authenticator released an update for their iPhone App that wiped users keys when installed. That prompted a lot of users to switch to Authy and use our key backup feature. Immediately some people started raising concerns about our backup feature - but unfortunately most of what their saying is false or incorrect. We want to make sure everyone knows the the real facts.
First and most importantly: backups are optional and are off by default.
If you do not enable them, your accounts will only be stored inside your phone (just like all other apps do). So saying that you have to send us your keys to use Authy is completely incorrect. You might not like backups, but there are thousands of users who do. If you don't, simply keep them off.
Second: backups are encrypted before uploading them to the server and we do not have the decryption key
Most of what it's said about how we handle encryption is entirely wrong. I'd like to describe exactly how we do it. To make backups compatible across devices both the iOS and Android app use the same method for encryption/decryption.
How the Authy key backups work.
Backups are done in several steps. I'll try to be as descriptive as possible to avoid any confusion or misinterpretation.
We ask you to enter a password. The password has to be greater than 6 characters and we recommend at least 8.
Your password is then salted and ran through a key derivation function called PBKDF2. The details of how this is done are quite important:
- We use SHA-256 which is slower than SHA-128. (slow is good here).
- We use 1000 rounds. This number will increase as the low range Android phones processor power increases.
- We salt the password before starting the 1000 rounds.
- The salt is generated using a secure random.
Using the derived key, each authenticator key is encrypted with AES-256 in CBC mode along with a different IV for each account.
- Some Authenticator keys are unfortunately 128 bits or less. In such cases we pad them using PKCS#5.
Only the encrypted result, salt and IV are sent to Authy.The encryption/decryption key is never transmitted.
Lastly I just want to re-iterate that all encryption and later decryption happens inside your phone.
If you have any questions please contact us at [email protected] We'll update this post as new questions/issues arise.

You start early to get the good light and keep working till that light comes back again at the end of the day. You find your Hampton Inn, do some edits, plug in 30000 batteries to charge, hope the wifi works and with any luck, see some boobs or better over video chat. The writer usually writes in his cute little Moleskine for a bit, asks the shooter where we should go the next day, and falls asleep an hour before you do, clutching the keys to whatever Porsche/Lambo/cool car they are testing while you sit and sneer at the keys to your minivan (or prius) rental. Norway in the summer, doesn't really get dark. It gets blue for a bit around two, then the sun comes out again. That means lots of photos, but only a few pages in the mag to put them on. Here is a gallery of some stuff that didn't make it to the issue, and a few of the choice ones that did. Enjoy. Gallery Here

Alfa Airbeds has helped its customers find maximum comfort in their ideal mattress. Below are just a few testimonials from our satisfied customers.
I was sleeping on a King Size Select Comfort mattress and there were things I liked and disliked about it. But after moving into a smaller room that the king was too big for I began researching other air mattresses to replace it. The Airbed offered more for the money and when I called for information I was impressed by the salespersons knowledge and patience in answering all my questions. Now after having both, I believe the Airbed to be a better quality bed and that helps me sleep better! Thank you, The foundation took sometime to assemble but it is very well made and well worth the effort! I do wish the firmness controller was in finer increments for more custom adjustability but other wise I am very happy with my mattress.Tim, Chesire, CT
We researched different types of bed's on line. Great customer service, someone is always there to answer any questions, any time of the day, even when we are on different time zones, and of course technical support is the same.
Both myself and my Husband Roger have bad backs, I have had back surgery in 1993, my husband needs surgery which would be a very extensive one. He is trying to wait until the time comes that he has no choice. In the mean time he has to get up one hour earlier in the mornings to "work out his back spasms" by massage, hot baths etc. We both work in the medical field, Roger works in the operating room, working 12hr shift's and call. We knew our bed was part of our problem, as it was 10 years old. We researched on line the Sleep Number Bed, it had some enticing features, but many features we did not like, such as: we are a newly married couple (8 years) and we did not want a bed that would separate us as a couple in bed, secondly, it would not elevate the direct stress by just positioning, he had tried this by resorting to the couch using cushions to elevate his legs etc. We needed something that we would still feel that we were in bed together, where we could control the pressure on certain problem areas such as the lumbar region.
We just put the bed together yesterday, went to bed early to take in our experience, and we both slept for 12 hours, waking up with no back spasms. This bed is so important considering both of our spinal issues. It will be a great break-through, to see my husband jump out of bed, shower and be at work within 30 minutes as most men do. For me, I get about 4 bad back inflammations a year, unsure of the onsets, but what has worked for me in the past is, sleep on the floor, the harder the better. Now, I can sleep in my bed, regulating it, to my needs. thank you.
Roger and Patricia, Aliso Viejo, CA
My wife and I both suffer from lower back pain. However, she sleeps on her back and I sleep on my stomach so we need different degrees of firmness in a mattress. This bed has made it possible for us to each have our individual mattress firmness without making the other person "suffer" with a firmer or softer mattress than is comfortable for them.
We have only had the bed for a few days, but the difference from our previous "conventional" mattress is incredible.
Thank-you.Terry and Denise, Bozeman, MT
The bed was fairly easy to put together. I only slept on it one night. I am looking forward to testing it out further to see if the mattress continues to sleep as well as it did the first night. I liked the fact that I was able to adjust my side of the bed to the softness I wanted.John and Susan, Ravenswood, WV
Thank you for our air mattress. I bought the bed on Ebay. I searched for the bed on ebay. I was looking for competitors to Select Comfort. The first two nights my husband and I slept on it we didn't move. We noticed we don't have to sleep as long because our sleep is so much better.Angela, Central Point, OR

FORT MITCHELL, Ky. (AP) -- The number of traffic fatalities is dropping across Kentucky and the commonwealth appears to be on track for a sixth consecutive year of decline.
The Kentucky Office of Highway Safety reports traffic deaths are down 7.7 percent statewide from the same time last year, according to The Kentucky Enquirer.
The decline comes despite a significant increase in the number of crashes in northern Kentucky counties where there is considerable highway construction under way. In Kenton County, wrecks so far this year are up 27.2 percent, although there have been only three deaths -- one fewer than this time last year.
Authorities say installation of cable barriers on interstate highways and the presence of police in construction zones have helped cut the number of traffic deaths.

Santa Barbara Weekend, plus Shows Closing September 19
Senior Editor Christi McDonald turns her attention to the shows closing on September 19, 2012. Southeastern Pennsylvania will once again welcome many of the nation's top dogs for four days of competition culminating with the Montgomery County Kennel Club's Terriers-only event. And from Nebraska to Ohio, clubs are planning to welcome fanciers with a variety of special attractions. Find out where a K-9 chiropractic and acupuncture seminar is being offered, and learn where exhibitors can enroll in an adult handling clinic.
Many of this year's top show dogs are featured in their own beautiful mini-websites on Best In Show Daily. Simply click on a banner ad to see the dog's up-to-date show history, plus a slide show of photos that reveals exactly why it's a top dog.
Dan SayersEditor in Chief
Among the shows closing on September 19, 2012, are the shows I most look forward to each year. The Hatboro Dog Club shows on Thursday and Friday, October 4 and 5, Devon Dog Club on Saturday, October 6, and the Terriers-only Montgomery County Kennel Club on Sunday, October 7, all close on that date.
Truth be told, not much other than dog judging seems to be offered at the three all-breed shows before Montgomery, at least according to their premium lists, more
In one of my previous blogs, I wrote about the exciting events scheduled for the four-day Santa Barbara weekend. As I write this DFR, it's all over but the flying home. So was it all it was talked up to be?
Personally, I'd have to say yes. And I think everyone else who attended would agree that this show is one to put on the top of your list of must-attend show weekends! more

12-acre brush fire in Fellsmere fully contained
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Firefighters fully contained a 12-acre brush fire in the Fellsmere area that was sparked Tuesday afternoon by a lightning strike, officials said.
The fire on the St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park buffer, which is state Department of Environmental Protection property east of 138th Avenue and west of Interstate 95, was 100 percent contained about 6:45 p.m., said Florida Forest Service spokeswoman Melissa Yunas.
Two of the service's bulldozers plowed through vegetation to make a containment line around the fire, which began just before 5 p.m. Indian River County Fire Rescue spokesman Assistant Chief Brian Burkeen said no homes or structures were threatened.

I am a professional violin performer and college teacher who loves music and the arts. On the other hand, I have strong curiosity and am always fascinated to have my eyes opened to another's professional world so I can learn new things, especially as I come from a family of scientists. In my free time, I most enjoy being in the company of good friends, laughing, and having great conversations. Other things I like to do include reading The New York Times and The New Yorker, watching foreign films as much as the American ones, eating good food and going to restaurants, exercising (to compensate for the eating:-)), and witty humor. I've had the good fortune to travel through Europe and South America (my family is originally from Argentina) and hope to see much more of the world in the future. I'm very attached to my nephew and two nieces and wish all the time I lived nearer to them. While my career ambition is important to me (I've been playing the violin since I was three-years-old), maintaining a balanced life filled with outings including close friends and family will always come in first place!

A few months ago I entered this character (Bobby- I let my kids name him) into the FACA competition and he got schilacked in the first round.
I wasn't about to give up on old Bobby though, so I made a fake movie poster for him to live in. I really enjoyed creating the background for this fellow more than I actually liked coloring Bobby. Lots of layers in the background. The silhouette of the telephone poles is actually taken from a photograph right outside my window at work. I blew out the detail in the photo and gave it a half-tone treatment, a trick I've seen done by a phenomenal artist, David Ruben.

Hot off the Presses....
Here's an illustration I just finished up last night. This was a fun one to work on. It's to promote a local Lutheran (LCMS) church's confirmation class. My instructions were to come up with a knight/monk/adventurous/warrior character.
I designed the illustration and the background separate and then put them together at the end. I ended up coloring this a bit differently, experimenting with the texture brushes in Photoshop and using my wacom tablet almost like a paint brush.
Here's a step by step of the various stages:

Visit the Plague Doctor's Sanctuary....
Last week I gave a heads up on a project I'm working on with writer Ben Avery called "The Plague Doctor". We just created a blog that will document the development of this mythos as the year unfolds.
Special thanks to kick-butt graphic designer Brad Thomas from ID-33 Design for creating the logo.

Cogito Ergo Plague Doctor
Here's some conceptual character drawings I worked on last night after everybody went to bed. (My favorite time to draw.) The character's name is "Plague Doctor," and belongs to a story I'm working on with comic writer Ben Avery.
These drawings reflect about an hour and a half worth of work. Very fun, more to come on this.

Magazine Illustration
Man, it's hard getting back to work after 10 days of rest and yuletide celebration. Hope you all had a Merry (and Christocentric) Christmas. Always hard to let go of the thrill and nostalgia of Christmas. Especially after the previous weeks' anticipatory build-up.
Anyhoo, here's an illustration I finished about a week before Christmas for Ignite your Faith magazine (Formerly Campus Life Magazine). The article was about 24 hours in the life of a college student, and was supposed to be a bit of a takeoff of the 24 TV series.
Having never seen the show before ( I know, how lame is that?), I had to assemble quite a few visual references in order to get the right feel. I submitted three variations to the art director. They liked them, though I'm not quite sure which one they'll end up using.
For anyone who actually reads this here blog, which do you prefer?

Brazilian pianist shines in all-Hungarian program
Great soul, gypsy rhythms, daunting techniques. It was all-Hungary, all the time last Friday in Oxnard when the New West Symphony rolled out a program dedicated to the music of that nation's premier 19th- and 20th-century composers: Bartók, Kodály and Liszt.
Liszt was last on the program, which was also performed Saturday at Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza and Sunday in Santa Monica. The composer was represented by the cohesive and continuous Concerto No. 1 in E-flat major for Piano and Orchestra.
Given the Eastern European thrust of the program, Brazilian-born pianist Arnaldo Cohen might have seemed an unusual choice as soloist, but Cohen had already proved himself a popular guest in previous solo work with the orchestra under the baton of music director Boris Brott. He proved to be an inspired, and inspiring, choice, with his meticulous touch and refined sensibility. In his hands the work's thrill was not solely in the prodigious Lisztian demands on the soloist, but equally in the clarity and nuance Cohen brings to the keyboard. Almost nonstop scales, arpeggios and chords were accomplished with understated expertise, while bits of delicacy and whimsy got more than their usual attention. The result was a wider palette of sound and a refreshing insight into the genius of Liszt.
The concerto concluded the program, allowing the Oxnard audience to revel in Cohen's performance and bring him back for an encore, the entrancing and rhythmic "Odeon" by early 20th century Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth.
The placement of the piece also captured the audience while still primed and alert after the challenging drama of Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra, written late in life after he had left his homeland for America in 1940. The concerto offered dual treats: the excitement of Bartók's Hungarian spirit with its bold contrasts and touches of humor, along with an opportunity to enjoy highlighted solo, duo and trio instrumentalists in the orchestra featured in a style reminiscent of earlier concerto grosso style.
Just prior to Cohen's masterful presentation of Liszt came Kodály's "Dances of Galánta," picking up folk themes more conspicuously and again providing solo opportunities for orchestra members, including haunting passages by principal clarinetist Joshua Ranz.
All in all, it was a fine night for the Hungarians, Cohen and especially the audience.
Up next for New West is an all-Tchaikovsky concert, to be performed May 15-17. For tickets, call 866-776-8400 or visit http://www.newwestsymphony.org.

About Us
What our happy brides have to say!
Rhonda is great! She is way more than just an officiant; she is wonderful. I wish I had met her long before I struggled through all the arrangements. She is professional, down to earth, makes people around her feel comfortable. I had met with a few officiants before Rhonda, but she won us over within minutes!
Rhonda!!! Thank you so much for moving the mountains that came my way without hesitation and with class. Thanks to everyone mainly in part to Rhonda, for helping bring my dreams to a reality.
We love this place!!!! . Rhonda and Tim are VERY experienced, very professional, kind and on top of things. San Diego, CA ~ 9/2014
My husband and I live in Texas, we wanted a wedding in San Diego, and I quickly realized just how much I needed someone there to help. I wouldn't think twice about recommending Weddings of San Diego to anyone that's planning a destination wedding. Thank you to everyone that helped us "Live our Dreams"!
Rhonda made it the perfect wedding. I didn't want anything fancy, just a few friends with our feet in the sand, so it was very simple. I had several conversations with Rhonda before I got to San Diego via the phone and felt she "cared" about the overall experience. I would recommend her to anyone!
Rhonda was very helpful and patient with us. With her help we were able to have a beautiful and intimate wedding ceremony. Rhonda definitely knows her stuff, was very professional and went way beyond the call of duty. I couldn't have asked for a better person to perform our service! Rhonda, Maryanne and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
We just LOVE Rhonda! She was such a great help with planning our wedding and making the whole day run flawlessly! She even worked with us within our limited budget and still managed to make our day amazing! Without a doubt, I would absolutly recommend Rhonda to anyone that needs an officiant for their wedding! She is, without doubt, the best!
My husband and I were recently married on Coronado Island in California. We had been to the little village in San Diego about five years prior & knew that we'd go back to celebrate the most important day of our lives!. We found Rhonda Haiston and we always will be grateful for her insight, competence and graceful demeanor.
We were married by Rev. Robertson. We had originally found another officiant, but suddenly was hard to get a hold of him. We aren't from San Diego, and finding a replacement seemed like such a daunting task. Rev. Rob was very calming and put us at ease right way. He performed a beautiful ceremony. Thanks Weddings of San Diego and Rev. Robertson for a job well done.
We found Rhonda through a friend of ours who had nothing but great things to say about her, so we thought we would contact her and feel it out. She was not only professional but was so down to earth and easy going. I would recommend her to anyone I know. If we renew our vows I really hope she would be willing to do our service once again.

A can light is recessed lighting in a ceiling and is installed by simply cutting a hole out and placing the light over it. This type of installation allows air to leak between the fixture and the drywall to the room or attic above causing a lot of energy loss. When an incandescent or halogen bulb is on it burns at 380 degrees fahrenheit. Air this hot rises at a faster rate and can cause the fixture to leak air faster as well. Because the lights burn at such a high heat most can light covers have not been rated to have insulation against them due to the fire hazard they create when turned on.
Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva can take care of sealing and insulating these fixtures with TiteShell can light covers. These covers prevent the flow of air from floor to floor and they also keep all of the heat generated by the bulb in the room the light is in. Now insulation can safely lay against this light fixture without the fear of fire due to high temperatures from the bulb.
For optimal energy conservation, install compact florescent bulbs (CFL's) or LED bulbs. These types of bulbs not only use less wattage to operate, they also burn at a much lower temperature making your home much easier to cool in the summer time.
Adding additional insulation to this Newark, Delaware home increased comfort for the homeowner. Hot, upstairs rooms are no longer an issue for the New Castle resident.
Proper air sealing and insulation around this exhaust pipe in this Newark, Delaware attic, helps keep the heat inside the home during the winter.

Upon finding moisture in the corner of his ceilings, Newark, MD homeowner Gregory P. decided that he needed professional help when a home remedy wouldn't solve his problem. Gregory used Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva on a previously unrelated incident and decided to contact them again to come inspect his house.
Delmarva sent out representative Michael Tucker to asses Gregory's home. Gregory showed Michael where he was finding moisture on his ceiling. Michael examined the ceilings and began searching for the source of the moisture breakout. Michael found that Gregory's ceiling was poorly sealed and insulated. To completely fix Gregory's problems, the ceiling would have to reinsulated, resealed, and a new air tight attic hatch door be installed. Michael recommended that the new insulation be Closed Cell Spray Foam. This type of insulation is an all-in-one insulation that doubles as an air sealant. It is ideal for any situation; even the most extreme conditions. For added protection, Michael recommended an attic zipper seal for the attic door. This seal is airtight and prevents heat from escaping when the attic door is closed. Other products recommended for installation include air tight boxes around can lights and the insulation of 10" rim joists.
Michael called in Delmarva's Production Team One to install the necessary products. Before Delmarva came in, Gregory's house was full of problems that cost him more than it should have, but thanks to the assistance of Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva, Gregory's house is now energy efficient and better than ever before!
Proper insulation is what separates the highs and lows when it comes to a homeowner's electric bill. When homeowner Curtis K. found that his electric bill was through the roof he wanted a reason why: was it poor insulation or was it just how high he keeps the thermostat? Seeking professional assistance, Curtis began looking around for an expert. After searching for some time on line, Curtis came across Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva, and after seeing their impressive credentials he called them to come out and evaluate his home.
Shortly after contacting them, Curtis was met by Delmarva representative Michael Tucker at his Newark, MD home. After explaining his current situation to Michael, Michael began evaluating the house for heat loss. He eventually made his way to the attic and found that the finished attic was poorly insulated and was letting heat escape. Michael had only one solution for Curtis's problem and that is the installation of Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation. Closed Cell Spray Foam is an all-in-one insulation that doubles as an air sealant. This type of insulation is ideal for any situation, even under the most extreme insulation requirements. Curtis agreed to the product to be installed and Michael called in Delmarva's Production Team One to complete the insulation installation process.
Proper insulation can make it or break it when it comes to an energy efficient home. Curtis's home was once taking money out of his pocket that he didn't realize, but thanks to the professionals at Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva, Curtis's home is now energy efficient and will continue to be for years to come!
In the winter, it's very easy to tell where air is leaking into your home. Whether it's around doors and windows or small openings around the house, these cracks allow the conditioned air to escape and cold air to get in. Gregory P. contacted Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva and described that he had signs of moisture on his ceilings and possible ice dams, as well as insufficient insulation that may be the cause of these problems.
Energy expert Michael Tucker went out to assess the problem and recommended an energy efficient solution. He concluded that attic insulation and air sealing, an insulated attic door, airtight insulated boxes over can lights, and spray foam insulation should be installed. Each of these would effectively seal the home's outer envelope and reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer.
Gregory P. can now rest assured that ice damming will no long be a possibility because of the sealed air leaks and added attic insulation. Additionally, his heating and cooling system will not have to work as hard to keep the home comfortable all year round.
A home with air leaks and insufficient insulation loses energy and typically causes the heating and cooling system to work harder in order to keep the home at a comfortable temperature.
Wade H. was interested in the cost and time it would take to properly air seal and apply insulation to his home. Energy specialist Michael Tucker from Dr. Energy Saver went out to assess Wade's home and give him an appropriate estimate.
In one short day, the production team from Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva went out and installed two inches of closed cell spray foam insulation and well as insulating and air sealing 10" rim joists. This work will definitely increase overall energy efficiency because the interior air will not be able to get out as easily, and heat transfer will be slowed. Wade can now enjoy a more comfortable and healthy home for years to come.
Curtis K. and his family were remodeling their home when he contacted Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva for a free home insulation estimate. He was looking to maximize the insulation by installing insulation with the highest R-value possible.
His home was completely gutted and stripped down to studs at the time, so adding spray foam insulation was simple for the production team. Spray foam insulation was the perfect solution for this home remodel because it acts as both an air sealing and insulating agent to seal the home's envelope and reduce the flow of heat all year round.
Also, it has a higher R-value per inch than any other type of commonly used home insulation. Whether you are remodeling or simply interested in reducing home heating and cooling bills, adding spray foam insulation is an excellent decision to look into.
