DETROIT - The St. Louis Blues are getting back to their effective, grind-it-out ways of last season.
Brian Elliott made 28 saves for his 19th career shutout and Chris Porter scored the game's only goal in St. Louis' 1-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday.
"The way we're back winning these close games, we're back to playing the way we were last year," said Patrik Berglund, who had an assist on Porter's goal.
It was the Blues' fourth straight win as they moved into a tie with Minnesota for sixth place in the Western Conference.
"We've just got to keep building on things," Elliott said. "We don't have much time left so we just want to keep building."
Porter scored off a goalmouth scramble with 3:32 remaining in the second period with this second goal of the season.
"It was just two guys, Bergy (Berglund) and I, going to the net," Porter said. "The rebound popped out and I'm just trying to get it back into the crease and it went in."
The goal came as a surprise to Berglund.
"I thought I threw away something," he said. "And then I turned my back to everything and looked back and saw Ports putting it in."
Elliott got his first shutout of the season for St. Louis.
"We're going to need that (great goaltending)," Blues' coach ken Hitchcock said. "I think every game the rest of the year is going to be like this.
Jimmy Howard stopped 24 shots for Detroit, which dropped from seventh to eighth in the West.
"It was really tight, felt a little bit like a playoff game almost, not a lot of room out there, didn't feel like there were a lot of chances either way," Red Wings defenceman Niklas Kronwall said. "I thought we had some good opportunities there in the third, but their goalie came up with some good saves."
Elliott stopped Gustav Nyquist's breakaway attempt by using a shoulder save with 8 minutes left in the second period.
The Blues' Alexander Steen hit the goal post behind Howard from the left circle 4:24 into the game. St. Louis outshot Detroit 11-7 in the first period.
NOTES: The NHL held a news conference on the ice before the game to officially announce the Winter Classic outdoor game between the Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs at Michigan Stadium will be held on Jan. 1 next season. The game was originally scheduled for this past New Year's day, but was cancelled due to the lockout. It was also made official that — as originally planned — a second sheet of ice will also be constructed in downtown Detroit at Comerica Park, where two alumni games, American Hockey League, college, high school and youth games will be held in the two weeks leading up to the Winter Classic. ... It was the 1,000th game for referee Dan O'Halloran, who lives in Brighton, Mich., which is about 60 miles west of Detroit. He was recognized before the game.

Snow daze: Who let the kids out?
"Our staffs really pulled through," says Tom Smith, superintendent of Fluvanna County Schools. Maintenance and bus crews made a "tremendous effort" to get schools open after the snow, he adds.
Fluvanna County bravely bucked the trend that infected other area school systems by actually opening its doors (albeit two hours late) on Thursday, February 20.
One day later, most of the other area systems– with the conspicuous exception of Nelson– opened their doors. In the meantime, parents were left scratching their heads about why their education-loving urchins (and all the rest of the students) were locked out.
Anne Breeden, an Albemarle County administrator who fielded calls from many angry county parents, points out that while many subdivisions have their own plows, asphalt and gravel didn't emerge quickly on every street. Moreover, Breeden says, many cul de sacs weren't plowed sufficiently to allow buses to turn around.
"Albemarle County covers 743 square miles," says Breeden. "We cannot just look at one busload or one subdivision."
Even Charlottesville, whose major streets appeared to have been quickly plowed, had such dense sleet that officials feared that kids wouldn't have safe places to stand while waiting to board buses.
Buses are no concern for St. Anne's-Belfield, a two-campus private school whose students must arrange their own transportation. After the big snow, St. Anne's reopened on Wednesday, February 19– two hours late, but still a day earlier than most public systems.
"We don't have any plans to do make-up days," says Mike Waylett of St. Anne's. Instead, says Waylett, St. Anne's sent home "snow packets" in November. Like rations for hungry hikers, the "snow packets" include lessons for education-starved students: in case of two-day cancellation, open your packet and get to work.
One vexation for public schools is that state law requires 180 instructional days each year.
Charlottesville has already used three teacher workdays to begin making up its seven missed instructional days, says administrator W.T. Lewis. How about spring break? "It would be out of tradition," Lewis answers, "to fool with spring break." Charlottesville students could therefore potentially be in class as late as June 11.
But pity Albemarle. Having canceled school nine times so far, it hasn't yet hit the magic number of 10. Under state law, when a school system misses that many days, five are instantly forgiven. Might Albemarle consider canceling one more day to gain a little breathing room?
"I don't know," says a laughing Breeden. "But I'll pass your suggestion on."
State education spokesperson Charles Pyle says he's never heard of a school system intentionally trying to hit the magic 10-day mark. "I doubt seriously," says Pyle, "that any superintendent would do that."
If the storm system brewing over our area at press time develops into snow or ice, Albemarle superintendent Kevin Castner may get his lucky break.
BUZZBOX- Missing U: Missed days so far this year
Charlottesville: 7
Albemarle: 9
Greene: 11
Nelson: 16
Fluvanna: 11
St. Anne's-Belfield: 5

Let's tour France together on a culinary journey…Posted in Uncategorized on by Nadege
Specialized French Gastronomy Tour:
After spending the first twenty years of my life in Normandy, I have decided to become your guide and share my passion and culture with you with the help of my hospitable family. Dad is the driver and Mom Director of logistics! You can join me on an unforgettable journey to Normandy and discover this unspoiled part of France with its incredible gastronomy.
We will stop in different villages, try out the local cuisine and walk through lively markets selling a wonderful variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, herbs, fish, and seafood – crabs, lobsters, oysters and prawns. We will also visit local patisseries displaying an array of delectable desserts, cakes, tarts and petit fours and of course, a selection of the inimitable French breads.
During this tour, we will obtain as much food as possible from natural sources and consequently, your experience will differ according to the season and time of the year.
Any other food is from the farms, markets, fine shops and my family home.
The tour is seven days, with an option of extending your time with a trip Paris, or discovering another part of Europe…
We will be accommodated in a beautiful French country house in the Normandy farmland. The size of the group on this tour would be between 2 – 8 people and you will spend your time with like-minded people, sharing a common love for food, culture and travel.
More info: https://www.nadegecuisinetours.com/
The Normandy region of France combines a 360-mile dramatic coastline with a verdant interior of lush farm lands and bustling market towns , the historic landmarks include the cities of Caen, Bayeux and Rouen, and the coastline site of the World War II landing beaches Once part of Britain, there remains a Norman influence which gives the region a slightly different cultural feel from other parts of France. It is located to the northwest of Paris, along the coast of the English Channel.
Gastronomic delights abound, from fine cheeses to cider and Calvados. It is internationally known for its apple orchards and fresh dairy products as well as its rolling green landscapes and dramatic seaside cliffs,
Normandy is a mostly agricultural area made up of bocages— a patchwork of fields divided by high hedges. It also supplies much of France's dairy produce. Cattle breeding, cider production and fishing are also important industries that help define this lush and beautiful region.. With temperate weather year-round (rainy and chilly in the winter and relatively sunny and mild in the summer), Normandy is a great place to visit during almost any time of the year. From beaches to countryside, it is well worth taking a trip to this unique region of France.
A video about Normandy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmrCH0AhbDg&feature=fvsr
Cuisine in Normandy
Norman cuisine is based around the three main products of the region: seafood, apples and dairy products.
These lush natural surrounds provide the most natural and organic ingredients for dishes such as Vallée d'Auge- style veal, Rabbit à la moutarde, Duck à l'orange, every part of the pig (including ears!), fresh seafood (scallops, crabs, Normandy oysters, mussels , cockles, sea snails, and periwinkles for Plateau de fruits de mer), fresh fish (mackerel, Dieppe sole, turbot and sea bass), apple tarts and Calvados. There is also a mouth-watering selection of regional cheeses such as Camembert, livarot, Pont l'Evêque, quiches and tarts and farm-style fresh cream to name but a few of the gastronomic delights. Last, but certainly not least, there is the Cider and Calvados for which this area is justly famous.
Apples being a major item of produce in the orchards of Normandy, it is not surprising that cider – still or sparkling, dry or sweet, or perry – is a favourite regional tipple. Also derived from Norman apples is the famous Calvados Apple Brandy (the trou normand).

Main Content
InterLibrary Loan
Chat with a Librarian
Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a service, which allows the Vigo County Public Library to borrow, from other libraries, material that it does not own for its patrons to use. It is a privilege extended to library users and its success depends on responsible use by all parties. VCPL participates in ILL as a borrowing and as a lending library.
The borrowing of library materials from other libraries is determined by the following:
The VCPL utilizes Interlibrary Loan Services provided by OCLC Inc. (Online Computer Library Center, Inc.) an electronic network of approximately 7,000 libraries.
ILL service is available to Vigo County Public Library patrons who hold a valid borrowers card and have no overdue materials. Patrons who are issued a reciprocal borrowers card or hold a PLAC card must use the ILL service from their home library.
Library materials that may be borrowed through ILL include:
- Books
- Photocopies of magazine and newspaper articles
- Newspapers or magazines on microfilm
- Census and genealogical microfilm
Library materials that may not be borrowed through ILL include:
- Audiovisual materials (videos, DVDs, audio cassettes, audiobooks, CD's)
- Hard copies of magazines and newspapers.
- Downloadable e-book, audiobooks, music or video.
- Manuscript collections
- Computer Software
- Books published within the last three months
- Reference Materials
- Materials already owned by the Vigo County Public Library.
A maximum of five ILL requests may be submitted per week and a patron may have a maximum of ten ILL items checked out at one time.
The Vigo County Public Library will attempt to borrow materials from libraries that do not charge a fee. However, if the library material can only be obtained from a library that charges a fee the patron will be contacted for approval and will be responsible for paying the fee.
The loan period for all ILL materials is determined by the lending library and requests for renewal must be approved by the lending library. The lending library may also place restrictions on how the material is to be used.
Vigo County Public Library borrowers who have not returned ILL items on time are subject to all overdue materials policies as outlined in the Vigo County Public Library's Circulation of Materials and Equipment Policy. Fees for lost or damaged items are determined by the lending library. Information regarding ILL materials not returned or returned damaged may be turned over to a collection agency and collection agency fees become the responsibility of the borrower. The collection agency fee is due even if ILL materials have been returned or reimbursements have been made.
The Special Collections and Archives departments, upon special request, and in partnership with the Family Search Center of Salt Lake City Utah, will request microfilm and microfiche via interlibrary loan according to fees established by the Family Search Center and the Vigo County Public Library's Service Fee Policy. This service is provided according to a special agreement between the two institutions and the service is not restricted to VCPL borrower's card recipients.
In order to reduce processing costs, some requested books, with a value of less than $15, may be obtained by the Vigo County Public Library and added to the library collection in lieu of ordering a book via the interlibrary loan process.
The Lending of library materials owned by the VCPL to other libraries is determined by the following:
The VCPL utilizes Interlibrary Loan Services provided by OCLC Inc. (Online Computer Library Center, Inc.) an electronic network of approximately 7,000 libraries. As a lending library the VCPL's holdings and policies are available to all OCLC libraries from OCLC's ILL POLICY FILE database.
ILL requests are accepted using OCLC, ALA forms, fax or telephone. Rush requests will be honored.
VCPL materials that may not be loaned through ILL include:
- Audiovisual materials (videos, DVDs, audio cassettes, audiobooks, CD's)
- Hard copies of magazines and newspapers
- Downloadable e-books, audiobooks, music, and video
- Genealogical, archival, and manuscript collections
- Computer Software
- Microforms
- Books published within the last three months
- Reference Materials
Loan period is six (6) weeks. No renewal of materials is permissible. VCPL has the right to place restrictions on how its library materials may be used by the borrowing library.
Library materials are delivered by a statewide state sponsored delivery system to participating Indiana libraries and by U.S. Mail to all other libraries. Rush requests may be sent by special delivery methods with reimbursement guaranteed by the borrowing library.
The Vigo County Public Library complies with all federal copyright laws and may limit or restrict the copying of library materials pursuant to the compliance of federal statutes.
The following fees are charged for photocopies:
- 10 ¢ per page

Maximising your Pension Fund
Pension Opportunities
Despite the ever changing pensions landscape, pension planning and saving for your retirement are still as vital as ever. Pensions still remain highly efficient, offering tax relief at your highest rate of tax on your contributions, assuming that anything over the basic rate of tax is reclaimed via the individual's tax return, and therefore are an important part of your overall planning.
- Tapered Annual Allowance With effect from 6 April 2016, the annual allowance of £40,000 per annum will potentially be reduced for high earners. If you have total adjusted income in excess of £150,000 per annum, you will see your annual allowance reduced by £1 for each £2 this is exceeded, to a minimum of £10,000. This is a very complex area and so it is vital that appropriate advice is sought.
- Carry Forward of unused reliefs You may be able to contribute in excess of the Annual Allowance of £40,000, or your reduced annual allowance, and receive tax relief at up to 45% using Carry Forward for example, if you have contributed less than the Annual Allowance in the previous three tax years. As this is a potentially complex area, particularly where Defined Benefit schemes are concerned, advice should be sought.
- Lifetime Allowance The changes in the Lifetime Allowance mean that advice is more important than ever to ensure that you are optimising your retirement planning, and are fully up to speed with the latest Lifetime Allowance protection opportunities.
Investments managed by Malcom Gifford Wealth Management and there values will be directly linked to the performance of the funds selected and may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than the amount invested.
The levels and bases of taxation and reliefs from taxation can change at any time. The value of any tax reliefs depends on individual circumstances.

Although cheaper prices and record-low mortgage rates have made homebuying increasingly attractive, tight lending standards continue to keep consumers on the sidelines. And while a beefed-up FICO score and documentation requirements may have slowed the process, it's the pile of cash needed to secure financing that prevents many would-be buyers from becoming homeowners.
"For first-time homebuyers, generally the biggest obstacle to buying a home is the ability to have a down payment," said Susan Dewey, executive director of the Virginia Housing Development Authority. Consumers struggling to come up with a sufficient down payment, however, may have more options than they realize, as government programs, existing assets and personal finance techniques can be used to obtain the capital.
Here are nine ways that consumers can get their hands on the down-payment cash they need to purchase a home.
VA, USDA: Veterans and active duty personnel, as well as some members of the National Guard and military reserves, can qualify for zero-down-payment mortgages through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Such home loans are made by private lenders but backed by the agency. Although participants in this program must pay a so-called funding fee, its costs can be rolled into the loan. Closing costs, meanwhile, can be paid by the seller.
"Essentially, the veteran can get into a home with no money out of pocket, and the interest rates are typically very good," said Paula Miller, the Region 3 vice president for the National Association of Realtors.
To qualify for the program, borrowers must meet the agency's income and credit standards. For more information, contact a VA-approved lender, one of the agency's regional loan centers or a Realtor. Similar zero-down-payment mortgages are available through the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development program. To determine eligibility, contact your local rural development office.
State programs: Consumers can also get down-payment assistance through their state housing finance agency. Although offerings vary by state, such agencies can help first-time buyers by providing grants, subsidized home loans and other programs, said Dewey, who also serves as the president of the National Council of State Housing Agencies. The Virginia Housing Development Authority, for example, can provide eligible first-time buyers with federally insured home loans, including second mortgages to cover the down payment and closing costs.
"We can finance slightly above 100 percent (of the purchase)," Dewey said.
Such buyers must meet requirements on credit, income and home sales price. To find out if you qualify for similar assistance, contact your local state housing finance agency.
FHA: Borrowers who aren't eligible for zero-down-payment mortgage programs can still obtain low-down-payment home loans through the Federal Housing Administration. The FHA is a federal agency that insures private lenders against default. Qualified borrowers can access FHA-backed mortgages for as little as 3.5 percent down. These liberal requirements have helped turn the once-sleepy agency into an essential component in the effort to revive the housing market. Although FHA-insured loans represented just 3 percent of the home-purchase mortgage market in 2006, the agency backs about 30 percent of home-purchase loans today. FHA-backed loans are subject to credit and mortgage-size requirements. To see if you qualify, contact an FHA-approved lender near you.
Gifting cash: If you don't have enough cash on hand, a good first step is to see if anyone close to you does, said Keith Gumbinger of HSH.com.
"Do you have anybody who can give you money: your parents, a rich uncle or your grandparents?" Gumbinger said.
Gifts from parents or other family members have long been a source of down-payment cash for young couples or first-time buyers.
"Those gifts have to actually be documented as gifts," Gumbinger said. "You must get something (in writing) from each of those donors that says there is no obligation to pay back the money."
Be aware, however, that cash gifts from a single source that exceed $13,000 per individual, or $26,000 per couple, are subject to federal taxes.
Tap your IRA: Certain homebuyers can use funds from their IRA to cover down-payment costs without incurring the 10 percent early withdrawal penalty. Individuals who are under age 591/2 and have not owned a home within the preceding two years can withdraw up to $10,000 penalty-free from their IRA to put toward a real estate purchase. The cash can be used for acquisition, financing or closing costs . Retirement savings, however, should not be the first place you look for cash. Only take money from your IRA after exploring all alternatives.
Use your 401(k): Although would-be homebuyers may be able to access cash from their 401(k) for a down payment on a principal residence, they must first demonstrate a severe financial hardship. Many financial advisers advise against withdrawing funds from your 401(k) unless you have exhausted all other options. (That's your retirement nest egg, after all.) In addition, some 401(k) plans allow participants to borrow a portion of the funds they've saved up to cover a down payment or other expenses. Plans that permit such loans typically provide access to as much as half of the vested account balance, not to exceed $50,000. But once again, homebuyers should consider tapping their 401(k) for down-payment cash only as a last resort.
Savings plan: Although it might take a little time and discipline, an old-fashioned savings plan can be a great way for consumers to put together enough cash for a down payment. For assistance in creating a savings plan, consider reaching out to a certified credit counselor, said Gail Cunningham, a spokeswoman for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.
"To have an objective third party look at your finances and find hidden money within your budget is a super idea," Cunningham said. "They can find things which you may not have thought of."
Selling assets: Some of your down-payment cash could be sitting right in front of you, Gumbinger said.
"You may consider looking through all of the stuff that you have accumulated and see if there are things that you might be able to sell that you don't need," he said. "If you have got three flat-screen TVs in your apartment because they were cheap and you just started accumulating them, see if you can't get rid of some of those assets, and see if they can be turned into something that's going to be more productive for you."
Once you've assembled items you would be willing to sell, consider holding a garage sale or putting them on eBay.
Second job: Additional income, of course, can also help would-be buyers save enough cash for a down payment. But with a high national unemployment rate, such work may be difficult to find. Still, it's worth seeing if there is any freelance work you might be able to take on, or checking with your friends who work in retail to see about any part-time openings or seasonal work.

Pay Day
This story appears in the November 1997 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Q: I'm looking for information to guide me in setting salaries within my company, especially for my controller (who is a CPA) and for other top-level managers. Is there a formula I should use to determine salary amounts? Also, should raises and year-end bonuses be calculated as a percentage of annual salaries? My company has grown to $5 million plus in the last six years. I employ 25 to 30 people. I have no formal education in business. Any advice would be appreciated.
Tod Swank
Via the Internet
A: Max Messmer is chairman and CEO of Robert Half International Inc., a staffing firm specializing in the placement of accounting, finance and information technology professionals, and parent company of Accountemps, RHI Consulting and RHI Management Resources. Messmer is also the author of several staffing and career-guidance books:
While there is no formula that will provide you with the ideal salary for each position at your company, there are certainly appropriate ranges. Some of the key sources for determining suitable salary ranges for your employees are: 1) classified ad listings for specific positions, both in your daily newspaper and on the Internet; 2) professional and trade organizations for the specific fields in which you are hiring (most organizations regularly publish salary data); 3) human resources consultants; and 4) specialized recruiters in the appropriate fields.
To address your question on the salary for your controller, our 1997 Robert Half and Accountemps Salary Guide, which is based primarily on actual job orders filled in our U.S. offices, states that a controller with a CPA designation at a firm of your size generally receives an average annual starting salary of $51,700 to $67,925. This is a nationwide average. When setting your own ranges, keep in mind such factors as the cost of living in your area and the availability of qualified candidates. Accountants with a CPA designation can often command as much as 10 percent to 15 percent more than their nonCPA counterparts. Our Salary Guide lists ranges for positions in accounting, finance, banking and information technology. You can order a complimentary copy of the guide on our Web site at www.rhii.com or by calling (800) 803-8367.
Generally speaking, raises and bonuses are determined as a percentage of annual salary. Traditionally, the standard calculation for raises has been based on company performance combined with Consumer Price Index increases, which nationally have averaged about 3 percent in the past five years. However, in the current record-low unemployment environment, you may well have to offer more generous raises to remain competitive.
When deciding on the appropriate mix of salary increases and bonuses, much depends on your corporate philosophy and goals. A growing number of employers are increasing the portion of compensation that is performance-based, such as bonuses. Through this approach, companies can more directly and immediately reward outstanding achievement. Many firms are basing bonuses on the performance of both the company and the employee to encourage both personal and team accomplishments. And while we're on the topic of incentives, companies of all sizes (including privately held ones) are increasingly offering stock options to their employees.
Your company may be reaching the point where you require an experienced human resources manager to establish compensation and benefits policies, as well as oversee other personnel issues. For example, in addition to considering stock options, you may want to set up a 401(k) or pension plan for your employees, or a profit-sharing plan.
While no one can discount the importance of financial rewards, keep in mind that today's job candidates are more concerned with the corporate environment and quality-of-life issues than ever before. In a recent executive survey conducted by Robert Half International, corporate culture rivaled employee benefits in importance for candidates during job interviews. Many of our small-business clients use this trend as a competitive advantage, offering such perks as flexible work schedules, casual dress days, additional vacation time or telecommuting opportunities. The costs of this approach are minimal, particularly when compared to the value-added benefits of improved recruitment, productivity and retention.
Regardless of the monetary and nonmonetary ways you compensate your employees, creating an employee-friendly environment and determining competitive compensation ranges take time. Both will require being flexible and adaptable to changing workplace trends and local conditions. The investment is worth it--the difference between a good company and a great company is its people.
Q: My canned, homemade pickled asparagus recently won "Best of Show" at the San Bernardino County Fair in California. I'd like to sell it at the spring Asparagus Festival in Stockton and to local farmer's markets. But a simple request for a permit has turned into an endless (and expensive) trail of forms, requests and referrals. I want to market my asparagus on a very small scale. Help!
Mary Miller
Apple Valley, CA
A: Marsha A. Echols is the Washington, DC, counsel to the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade Inc. (NASFT):
Though taking your creation from kitchen to market can be a rewarding venture, your success will depend on more than your recipe. You must pay attention to seemingly extraneous matters just to sell a few jars of your prized pickled asparagus.
First, what's your goal? Are you sure you'll always be satisfied with farmer's market sales? If the people at festivals and local markets are excited about your product, will you want to start selling statewide? Outside the state? Actually, it won't take much more effort to meet requirements for markets beyond your state, which involves following federal trademark and labeling requirements and creating a business structure that protects your personal assets. You must know how to ensure your product is safe to eat, let consumers know exactly what they're getting and protect yourself if a consumer claims your food caused an illness. Try taking the necessary steps in stages:
- Trademarking. Some experienced food entrepreneurs think the first step should be to spend the few hundred dollars required to register your trademark, either with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in Washington, DC, or at the state level for statewide trademark protection. Why? If you sell your pickled asparagus under the name "Best of Show" at farmer's markets for three years and later decide to sell in a wider or interstate market, someone else might already have the right to that name.
- Health and safety. Many city, county and state governments require a license, permit or certificate to ensure "good manufacturing practices" where kitchen equipment and configuration standards are followed. Most jurisdictions prohibit the use of a home kitchen for preparing foods for public sale or consumption. That's why many food producers use a "co-packer" to produce and pack for them, or they locate an approved co-op kitchen facility, perhaps at a local university.
Taking these steps is important for protecting yourself against liability claims and to obtain product liability insurance. Though not always required by local, state or federal governments, liability insurance is often carried by reputable food producers.
- Food labeling. The label informs the consumer about the manufacturer, the product, possible allergens and, if you choose, the product's nutritional value. However simple the label, it must include your name and address, product trade name and common name, ingredients, and net weight. You can add nutrition labeling later.
- Resources. Organizations such as the California Specialty Foods Association (800-774-2732) and the Food and Libations Association of Virginia (757-565-4144) publish valuable information and have members who can answer your questions. Local agricultural and business schools may have business development centers that can assist you. Also, there are such product-specific trade associations as Pickle Packers International (630-584-8950) that may be aware of issues concerning common names, ingredient listings, health and safety. Your state's department of agriculture can explain any special rules, especially any reduced requirements for selling at farmer's markets.
If you decide to sell your product nationally, the NASFT (212-482-6440) offers information on food labeling, its Showcase magazine containing a "Food Laws" column, as well as marketing opportunities through its Fancy Food Shows. A search for nongovernment organizations may turn up additional resources.

Supreme choice: Albemarle grad gets plum post
Less than ten years after leaving Albemarle High School, Allison Orr is headed for the Supreme Court.
"It was really more normal than you would imagine," she says, recalling her interview with justice David Souter. "He seemed just like a regular guy, and he made me feel very comfortable from the moment I walked into his chambers."
He tossed in a few curveballs, though. "He was trying to see how I think on my feet," she says.
Orr, who's currently clerking for Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, applied for positions with all nine of the high court justices.
"I think everyone who applies will apply to all nine," she says. "Some people who have a particular ideological bent might apply to just one, but I think most people are like me– they'd just be honored to clerk for any one of them."
UVA law professor Richard Bonnie says it is indeed an honor. He calls it "an unforgettable experience that will expose her to inner sanctum of the Supreme Court and open doors for her for years to come."
Two of Wilkinson's other current clerks are probably feeling the same thrill right now. Fellow UVA Law graduate Michael Passaportis will clerk for Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, and Yale graduate Evan Young will work for justice Antonin Scalia.
It was a cold day in March when the 27-year-old Orr, a UVA law graduate, got the call from Souter. And, to hear her tell it, quite possibly also a cold day in Hell.
"It's extremely bizarre and rare that I got the job," she says. "It's like being struck by lightning– I just never expected it would happen to me."
The clerkships typically last for a year. What are her plans for next July?
"I know that ultimately I want to be a law professor," Orr says. But her experiences in law school have led her to conclude that it might be best to put that off for a while.
"Every new class I took caught my interest as a new subject I didn't know before," she says. "I guess that's why I am not ready to teach yet. I need to focus my interests a little."
For now, she's just focusing on gearing up for the coming year. "I suspect, from what I hear, that it's a pretty hectic year from start to finish," she says.
"Part of the clerk's job is reading through the briefs, synthesizing information, and preparing [Souter] to ask intelligent questions– although I don't know how I'm going to do that," she laughs.
She's working on that last one.
"I feel like I've lucked out every step of the way by meeting fantastic people who have taken an interest in developing me intellectually," she says. It's hard to do better than a Supreme Court Justice, but a girl can dream.

★★★★★ - "Independent Home did a great job. The two contractors they sent a month ago were nice and good guys. I would recommend them, they were great."
Bruce in Lake City, FL2016-09-07
★★★★★ - "My son, Chris, got a walk-in bathtub from Independent Home and I saw it. I then compared it with others to see if it's as good as his. I called Cameron, the tech guy and he took care of the purchase right off the bat. The installation team came in at eight o'clock and was out by 1:30. They worked as a good team and had to work with me because I have an electrical door and we had to move it out. They did a good job and I'll definitely recommend them."
Ralph in Niceville, FL2016-09-07
★★★★★ - "We got a Celebrity bathtub as that was the only one that would fit. I had no problem purchasing it and the experience wasn't too bad. The people who came over to install it were knowledgeable and courteous. They came and did what they had to do and everything went alright. They were around for about 12 hours that day. They left a bit of mess but I had somebody clean it, anyway. They also had to cut a section of the wall out to get the tub in. I'm just waiting for them to come over and take care of something, but other than that, I don't have any problem with it."
Steven in Sunrise, FL2016-09-07
★★★★★ - "I had talked to someone a couple of years ago to have walk-in bathtub installed in my parent's mobile home and I was thinking that Independent Home might have been the same dealer I dealt with before, but as it turned out it wasn't, so it's a fluke. I found about Independent Home on the internet. My experience with them was pretty straightforward and easy. Their installation team was awesome."
Henry in Cantonment, FL2016-09-07
★★★★★ - "Indpendent home has a nice wheelchair accessible walk in tub that works perfectly for me. Bathing is so much easier now!"
★★★★★ - "Can't say enough good things about these guys. The even did some nice tile work and added some other safety grab bars in my bathroom. I love my walk in tub!"
★★★★★ - "My father just turned 75 years old so we purchased the walk in tub from Independent Home. Best price, quality and warranty."
"I was having muscle pain and really wanted to take a bath again. I was unable to bath for over 20 years and use my walk in tub 4-5 times a week. I can now relax and enjoy bathing without worrying about falling."
Richard, Gainesville, FL
★★★★★ - "I had my Celebrity Model walk in tub installed and am loving it! I wanted to use the tub as a shower and had glass doors put on. This was the tub she dreamt about! This is right hand door configuration with an acrylic wall surround. I had a 1 piece tub and shower that they replaced in just 2 days."

Some buyers are getting creative when low inventory levels threaten to crush their home-buying dreams: They're writing letters to homeowners, asking if they'd be interested in selling.
That's what Will and Jung O'Donnell did last year.
After unsuccessfully searching for a home in San Francisco for months, they switched real-estate agents. Their new agent helped them find listings that expired years ago — including the one they'd eventually buy. The agent then presented the owner with a letter of interest from the couple.
The O'Donnells are now happily living in their Lower Pacific Heights home.
Hey, if you don't ask, you'll never know, right?
But for those on the other side of the transaction, the homeowners, getting an unsolicited offer for your home can feel a little strange. Maybe even a bit creepy.
"Nine out of 10 [homeowners] will say 'Thanks, but no thanks,'" said Brendon DeSimone, real-estate expert for the website Zillow, and an agent licensed in California and New York.
If the home was on the market a couple of years ago, then removed, many times the homeowner is on to plan B; maybe they've built an addition to create the space they needed or they overcame an objection they once had about the home, DeSimone said.
But sometimes they're still interested in selling the property. Perhaps they decided to rent out the place instead for a while, but really don't want to be a landlord. Or maybe they weren't willing to part with their home at post-housing crash prices, but would be satisfied with their return now.
Granted, this strategy isn't popular everywhere. But in places where the inventory of desirable homes is tight or for highly sought-after properties, it isn't all that unusual, real-estate agents say.
Alyssa Hellman, who lives in a historic condominium building in the West End neighborhood of Washington, D. C., gets letters from people interested in buying her home every few months. "Maybe even once a month, when the market is active," said Hellman, a real-estate agent with Long and Foster Real Estate, based in Arlington, Va. Apartments in the building — and especially units with certain layouts in the building — are highly sought after, she said.
Read: Why some homes have a secret 'For Sale' sign.
"I don't exclude the idea of selling if the right person or offer came along," she said. But the right offer is a high one. "I'm not going to sell it at market rate, because I really don't want to move."
If you get such a request to sell your home — and you're interested — keep the following in mind.
Make sure there are real buyers
Often, real-estate agents will look for expired listings and reach out to their owners in an effort to drum up some business for themselves. It's a way they accumulate properties to sell.
In fact, in San Francisco, the market is so tight, real-estate agents will come knocking if they see the landscaping isn't being cared for (which could indicate the home is headed for foreclosure), or if the outside appearance of the house in any way suggests that the owners may be ready to move, said Mary Macpherson, a real-estate agent with Paragon Real Estate Group in San Francisco, and the one who helped the O'Donnells buy their house.
That's why you need to find out if there are actual buyers ready to deal.
When you get a call or mail from an agent asking you to sell, ask who the buyer is and how long they've been looking, DeSimone said. If you're not sure what to do, call your own real-estate agent — perhaps even the one who helped you buy the place — for advice.
To prove the existence of real buyers, Macpherson may provide a photo of the prospective buyers, along with their letter asking to purchase the home. "Sometimes, I think sellers think we're just making up an imaginary buyer so we might be able to get a foot in the door," she said.
You are in the driver's seat
"Sellers in this scenario can often name their price," Hellman said.
Of course, that doesn't mean a buyer will pay it. But you can decide what price will make you move.
And in highly competitive markets, you may get it.
"The second you go on the [multiple listing service], dozens of buyers are competing," DeSimone said. If they're tired of looking and are planning on being in the home for a long time, the buyer might not mind paying a higher price.
Consider listing the home
If you're getting interest without even listing the home, just imagine what you might get with full exposure, Macpherson said. By listing a home on the multiple listing service and marketing it online, you have the potential to bring in more than one offer. But by dealing with a buyer who approaches you, there's a danger that you could be leaving money on the table.
That's why, "unless they have a strong reason why they don't want to," Macpherson would advise people interested in selling to list their home before committing to a contract.

Buchholz lined up to make Minor League start Sunday
SEATTLE -- Clay Buchholz will likely take another step closer to returning to the Red Sox on Sunday by making a Minor League rehab start.
"Our tentative plan is to have him make a start on Sunday," manager John Farrell said, "but tomorrow's bullpen [session] will give us probably as accurate a read as we can make."
Because of inflammation in the bursa sac of his right shoulder, the All-Star hasn't pitched since June 8. Even so, Buchholz is 9-0 with a 1.71 ERA in 12 starts.
"I think the first time out we're probably going to have him in that 45-50 pitch range. That would be the target," Farrell said. "With that being the case, the next start is going to have to be a progressive start from there so we're not overtaxing the bullpen when he returns."
While he didn't want to put a set number on how many rehab starts Buchholz will have to make, Farrell said Buchholz will have at least two before returning to the Red Sox.

ASP.NET MVC Beta and RC Upgrades - Confirm your Expectations and Version Numbers in Production Environments
I was working on an app locally using a daily build (newer than the currently released one) of ASP.NET MVC and deployed it to a host. I noticed this weird CSS issue. See how the text box on the left running on localhost is small and not styled while the one on the right running on the host is the correct width? You can click on the screenshot if you need to see more.
I dug around a little and using the F12 browser developer tools (as well as good old View Source) I noticed the HTML being created was different! My local app was producing one bit of markup, then when I deployed the same app to my host I would get different markup!
Here's the app's markup running locally:
<input class="text-box single-line" data-val="true"
data-val-date="The field EventDate must be a date."
data-val-required="The EventDate field is required."
id="EventDate" name="EventDate" type="datetime" value="5/29/2012 1:48:23 AM" />
Here's while running on the host:
<input class="text-box single-line" data-val="true"
data-val-date="The field EventDate must be a date."
data-val-required="The EventDate field is required."
id="EventDate" name="EventDate" type="text" value="5/29/2012 1:48:23 AM" />
I realize I could have made it more obvious for this but I wanted to make the point that it took a second to notice that my standard ASP.NET MVC Helper call...

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.EventDate)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.EventDate)
...was returning type="text" on the host but type="datetime" on my local machine and that difference was picked up CSS that targeted specific input tags. Weird. Now, EditorFor() can have its behavior overridden with custom files in ~\Shared\EditorTemplates so if there was a DateTime.cshtml in there that would make sense. There wasn't. I wasn't using the very lovely MvcHtml5Templates NuGet package by Scott Kirkland, so that wasn't it.
My spider-sense was telling me this must be a versioning issue but everything looked right. My only explanation was that somehow what was running on the host was different from what was running on my local machine.
I asked around work and Eilon Lipton suggested I run this snippet to check the version of ASP.NET MVC. He's basically saying "Hey, where did this well known type come from?"
public ActionResult ShowVersion()
Type t = null;
t = Type.GetType("System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=126.96.36.199, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35");
catch (Exception e)
Response.Write("Error finding MVC: " + e.ToString());
if (t == null)
Response.Write("Can't find MVC");
Response.Write("Found MVC at " + t.Assembly.CodeBase + ", IsInGac = " + t.Assembly.GlobalAssemblyCache + "
");
var verAttr = t.Assembly.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(System.Reflection.AssemblyFileVersionAttribute), true)[0] as System.Reflection.AssemblyFileVersionAttribute;
Response.Write("Version = " + verAttr.Version + "
");
return null;
Even better, rather than using this code, I can use the MvcDiagnostics NuGet Package and get THIS useful data from Brad Wilson. Hopefully he will update it for ASP.NET MVC 4 although it worked well.
This package gives you lots of useful information for debugging weird situations.
Anyway, I put the diagnostic code in a controller and ran it and got this (this version is faked):
Found MVC at file:///C:/mysite/bin/System.Web.Mvc.DLL, IsInGac = False
Version = 4.0.77777.0
Hang on, but my local result was this:
Found MVC at file:///C:/Windows/Microsoft.Net/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Web.Mvc/v4.0_184.108.40.206__31bf3856ad364e35/System.Web.Mvc.dll, IsInGac = True
Version = 4.0.99999.0
My local version was newer and was running from the GAC (Global Assembly Cache) but the hosted version was older and running locally. That means I had older ASP.NET MVC files floating around that my project referenced and deployed to the host.
Aside: The specific change that "got" me here was actually the first external contribution accepted to ASP.NET MVC. It's the one that Miguel de Icaza sent a pull request for while I was on stage at DevConnections. The change is to output HTML5 input types for common default data types, like <input type="datetime"> for System.DateTime when using EditorFor().
It took me a moment to remember that I hadn't added the reference to ASP.NET MVC manually but rather via the NuGet Package Manager. This became crystal clear when I used the built-in NuGet Package Visualizer (from Tools | Library Package Manager) to see the package dependency chain:
Basically I needed to either update my out of date NuGet packages or add the assembly references manually without NuGet.
Since I was working on a daily build I did it manually. When you update your ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta applications to a newer build (like ASP.NET MVC 4 Release Candidate (whenever that comes out) or the final Release) you'll want to do update all your packages via NuGet and confirm you're getting the versions and behavior you expect. The NuGet Package Visualizer is a hidden gem indeed.
So, a general reminder to folks (and a specific lesson when upgrading between ASP.NET MVC builds):
- know your version numbers, what you want, what you're referencing.
- confirm your version numbers in your debug and production environment.
- Perhaps a health-check page or a runnable Integration Test to assert your assumptions
- update your NuGet packages keep your references, and thus your ~\bin up to date
- know where your assemblies are being loaded from (the GAC or locally)
Hope this helps!

Behold, My Joy Is Full
1. I love to read the written word,
The story of our risen Lord,
And how He came to other sheep
who wept and worshipped at His feet.
He humbly prayed for each one there
in words too sacred to be shared,
And by the spirit calmed their fears,
Then spoke these words thru loving tears:
"And now behold, my joy is full."
His words, how beautiful!
Meant for those who love His ways
and live to hear Him gently say:
"Blessed are ye because of your faith.
And now behold, my joy is full."
2. I want to live His teachings, too,
Reflect His love in all I do,
And bring with me yet other sheep
to weep and worship at His feet.
Thru righteous deeds I'll come to know
the joy He spoke of long ago,
And feel His same sweet love today,
So then I too can humbly say:

I would like to see an image gallery on this site. That would make the site so much more vital and convincing for anyone using or contemplating using Graflex equipment. Categories for cameras, lenses, film, etc. would be very educational, and would prompt
other Graflex owners to pull those beauties off of the shelf, or out of the basement, and shoot. Does anyone remember the old Photography Annuals with the amazing photos and all the pertinent info in the back?

Image galleries do shoot up the bandwidth usage in a major way. I think Sean Ross said that on apug.org, when the galleries were open, they accounted for 80% of the bandwidth, even though the discussion forums are generally considered the main content, so the galleries were made "subscriber only." A standard APUG subscription is $24 per year, $12 for students and low-income subscribers (on the honor system), more for those who want to contribute something extra.

I think $24 per year is reasonable. You'd have to take into consideration the current user population of this site without photos.
With photos, I believe it would grow, driving
per-user costs down. No student/senior discounts - just a straight fee for all.
Hey, how about adding advertisers like, B&H, Calumet, Adorama, Grimes, etc. I've patronized
them all.

I haven't seen the figures, but my sense from Sean is that on APUG most subscribers pay the standard rate.
The reduced fee is mainly for people who live in parts of the world where per capita income is extremely low when converted to US dollars or another Western currency.

Look, if you want photo.net, use photo.net. If you want apug.org, use apug.org. IMO graflex.org is fine as is.
This is a narrowly specialized board and I like it as it is. This is a place for sharing knowledge, not for showing off mainly crummy photos. The nearest thing to graflex.org, but with a store attached and a somewhat broader scope, is
. There are pictures there, but embedded in very useful and usually quite good articles, not posted randomly by show-offs.
I believe the people running photo.net and apug.org are on treadmills and don't see what incentive Leigh has to get on one himself.
If you want a Graflex-oriented board with photo galleries and all that crap, put your money where your daydreams are and set one up yourself. But before you do ask Sean and whoever runs photo.net about their costs.

Lol Dan. You don't mince words
Perhaps the idea of a image gallery for Graflex users isn't to show off. Sometimes Graflex users are curious as to how certain lenses work, or how other photographers use them. I enjoy looking at others' photographs, particularly snapshots; particularly people I know. Although I do like the specialised and pleasant nature of this board. In contrast, the personality disputes plastered all over other larger forums tend to render other forums inimical for use for me.

Compressor includes built-in settings that you can use to transcode video files into the most common media formats, including monoscopic and stereoscopic 360º files. When you're ready to share your Final Cut Pro X or Motion 360º project, you can use pre-built destinations in Compressor, or create your own. These pre-built destinations make it easy to share your 360º project to a variety of platforms, including websites that support 360º video such as YouTube's VR channel, Facebook 360, and Vimeo 360, as well as your Mac.
Import 360º source files into Compressor
To get started, choose File > Add File (or click Add File), locate and select your source files, then click Add. An equirectangular view of your 360º source file appears in the preview area. An equirectangular image looks like a world map that depicts the globe as a two-dimensional (2D) rectangle.
This image was acquired from Getty Images, Inc. All rights reserved.
In the preview, you can playback, scrub, zoom in and out, and scroll to see details of your file.
Your source file also appears in the batch area below the preview. You can add multiple source files to the batch area, and process them simultaneously.
Assign 360º metadata
After you've imported source files into Compressor, check and if necessary adjust the metadata of the source file. For 360° video to display correctly in VR headsets and on sharing platforms, the video must contain special instructions called spatial metadata.
On import, Compressor automatically detects the metadata in the file, and displays it in the Job inspector. On export, Compressor automatically assigns the correct metadata based on the destination you've selected for the source file.
If required, you can adjust the source file metadata in the Inspector. In the batch area, select the source file. If the 360° Metadata area is collapsed, move the pointer to the right of the heading, then click Show. Select the "Include 360º metadata" checkbox. You can then adjust the metadata, and set any other properties as necessary. Learn more about assigning the metadata for your 360º file.
Add settings and share your video
For basic transcoding jobs, you can use the built-in settings and destinations that come with Compressor. Choose View > Settings, then select one or more transcode settings or destinations from the list, as follows:
- Click next to to view the settings in a group. A setting is composed of preconfigured transcoding instructions that you apply to your source media file. To encode 360º video, make sure to use one of these settings: Apple Devices, MPEG-4, or QuickTime Movie.
- Clicknext to to view the destinations in a group. A destination is one or more settings combined with an automated job action that Compressor performs after transcoding, such as uploading your file to YouTube.
When you've found the setting or destination you want, drag the setting or destination to the file in the batch area.
If you have complex or custom transcoding specifications, you can make adjustments to the built-in settings and destinations in a number of ways:
- For a custom transcoding job that you will use only once, apply a built-in setting or destination, select the setting or destination in the batch area, then modify its properties in the Inspector.
- For a custom transcoding job that you will use more than once, create a custom setting or a custom destination.
If you're publishing to video sharing websites, make sure you've entered your account information before you start the batch.
- In the batch area, select the source file.
- In the Action section of Job Inspector, click the "When done" pop-u, then choose the service you're publishing to.
- Enter your account information and any other information, like the Title, Description, and Tags.
When you're ready to share your video, click Start Batch.

Even though Jimmy Smith has become a millionaire, due to his Bible publishing business, his wife, Sue, remains frugal and has little desire for money. Her main concern is raising their adopted daughter, Nanette, into a respectable lady. Since he's filthy rich, however, as has nothing to do with his wealth, Jimmy bankrolls the lives of three beautiful women. Jimmy realizes how bad it could be if Sue found out and got the wrong idea about his relationship with these three women. He enlists the help of his lawyer friend, Billy, to help him get out of the pickle in exchange for a generous sum. They make plans to meet all three girls in Atlantic City to have a little fun -- and also break off all further contact. Meanwhile, young Nanette, who has an untapped wild side, sneaks off to Atlantic City to has some fun before she settles down with her beloved, Tom Trainor. When Nanette runs into Tom on her travels, she is shocked -- and he is even more upset. Meanwhile, Sue and Billy's wife, Lucille, have -- unbeknownst to their husbands -- planned a quiet weekend away, and run into their husbands, along with the three girls. Chaos breaks loose -- the threat of scandal looms large, threatening to end love affairs and even marriages -- but ultimately everything is cleared up, and all is well as the curtain falls. With a delightful score that includes the famous "Tea for Two" and "I Want to Be Happy," the lighthearted ' No, No, Nanette was once called "The Happiest Show In Town."

For years now, we've been watching an ongoing tit-for-tat battle between VMware and Parallels. Both companies make virtualization apps—VMware Fusion and Parallels Desktop—which let you run Windows (and other operating systems) on your Mac. Every year or so, the two companies release new versions of their apps, each trying to one-up the other. VMware has just fired its salvo for 2013, releasing version 6 of its Fusion and Fusion Professional virtualization apps.
Given that VMware Fusion is all about running other operating systems on the Mac, it's not surprising that the new release focuses on compatibility with the latest versions of OS X and Windows.
Fusion 6 is designed specifically to take advantage of new features in OS X Mavericks, including its refined handling of full-screen apps. (Running a Windows virtual machine full-screen on one display, while still running your OS X apps independently on another, is an attractive prospect.) Fusion 6 can also bring Mavericks's enhanced dictation support to Windows apps.
Fusion 6 is also ready to support Windows 8.1 (which ships in mid-October) as one of the other OSes it'll run on your Mac. As with earlier versions of Fusion and Windows, you'll be able to run apps from the Windows Store either side-by-side with your Mac apps (with their own icons in the dock and everything) or all together in a single "Windows" window.
VMware says it's also optimized Fusion 6 for some of the latest and upcoming Mac hardware. It provides better support for running Windows on Retina displays, and takes care of little things like telling Windows to stop trying to defrag the hard drive when your Mac has an SSD. It can work with much more robust hardware than before, including systems with 16 virtual CPUs, 64GB of RAM, and 8TB of disk storage. (Can't imagine why.)
The Professional version of Fusion 6 adds some features that only an IT director could love—the ability to define restrictions for virtual machines (so users can't do dangerous things to settings, for example), more efficient cloning (so you can create multiple virtual machines without wasting so much disk space), and the like.
VMware Fusion 6 will cost $60, while the Professional version will run $130. If you're upgrading from Fusion 4 or 5, you can upgrade to Fusion 6 or Fusion 6 Professional for $50 or $70, respectively. There's also a free 30-day trial available for both.
