This week's recalls: BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Lincoln, smart, Toyota
In case you missed it: Vehicle recalls that came across our desk during the past week. Materials for this recap are received via email from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) copied directly from the www.safercar.gov website.
2006 BMW 3-Series, 5-Series
Units Affected 2,158
BMW of North America, Inc. (BMW) is recalling certain 2006 325i, 325xi, 330i, 330xi, 525i, 525xi, 530i, 530xi, and 550i vehicles equipped with the Sport Seat option and certain 2006 525i, 525xi, 530i, 530xi, 550i vehicles with standard seats. The front passenger seat occupant detection mat that determines if, and how, the passenger frontal air bag should deploy in a crash may fatigue and develop cracks which could lead to a system failure.
Should the system fail, in the event of a crash, the front passenger air bag would be deactivated, increasing the risk of personal injury.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will repair the occupant detection mat to eliminate the possibility that it may crack, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin September 1, 2017. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
2014 Ford F-150, E-350; 2014-2015 Ford Escape; 2015 Lincoln MKC
Units Affected 94,605
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2014 Ford F-150 and E-350, 2014-2015 Ford Escape, and 2015 Lincoln MKC vehicles. Improperly manufactured bolts may have been used to install certain seats, seatbacks, seatbelt buckles, or seatbelt anchors on these vehicles.
The improperly manufactured bolts may fracture. If a seat, seatback, or seatbelt anchor attaching bolt fractures, the affected component may not be properly secured, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected bolts, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin August 28, 2017. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 17S17.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra
Units Affected 690,685
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles. The vehicles may have a temporary loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist, especially during low-speed turning maneuvers.
If EPS assist is lost and then returns, the driver might lose temporary control of the steering wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the EPS module software, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-432-8782. GM's number for this recall is 17276.
2016 smart fortwo
Units Affected 5,061
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2016 smart fortwo vehicles. In these vehicles, the lock nut that secures the parking brake cable to the parking brake lever may loosen over time, resulting in increased parking brake lever travel before the parking brake engages.
As the parking brake lever travel increases, the holding force may decrease to a point where the vehicle is no longer safely secured in all parking situations, allowing the vehicle to unexpectedly move when parked on a slope, increasing the risk of a crash.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the parking brake cable lock nut, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in early September 2017. Owners may contact smart customer service at 1-877-496-3691.
2017 smart fortwo
Units Affected 110
Mercedes-Benz USA LLC. (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2017 smart fortwo and smart fortwo Cabriolet vehicles. Casting imperfections may result in the failure of the left front axle steering knuckle.
Failure of the left front axle steering knuckle could affect vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
MBUSA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the left front axle steering knuckle, replacing any from the affected batch, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in September 2017. Owners may contact smart customer service at 1-877-496-3691.
2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid, Avalon Hybrid
Units Affected 671
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2016 Camry Hybrid and Avalon Hybrid vehicles. The front drive shaft may separate.
A front driveshaft separation would result in a loss of propulsion while driving, and if the driver exits the vehicle without applying the parking brake, the vehicle may roll. Both scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will check the serial number of the vehicle's drive shaft, replacing any that are affected, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin August 11, 2017. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is H0M.
Note for all recalls: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

This dual Schmitt-trigger inverter is designed for
1.65-V to 5.5-V VCC operation.
NanoFree™ package technology is a major breakthrough in IC packaging concepts, using the
die as the package.
The SN74LVC2G14 device contains two inverters and performs the Boolean function Y =
A. The device functions as two independent inverters, but because of Schmitt
action, it may have different input threshold levels for positive-going
(VT+) and negative-going (VT–) signals.
This device is fully specified for partial-power-down applications using
Ioff. The Ioff circuitry disables the outputs,
preventing damaging current backflow through the device when it is powered down.

Tempe Festival of the Arts – Spring (Mill Ave)
March 23 @ 8:00 am - March 25 @ 5:00 pm
The Tempe Festival of the Arts consistently ranks among the Top 20 art festivals in the nation by Sunshine Artist and has received the Pinnacle Award from the International Festival and Events Association. The spring and fall events each attract nearly 225,000 visitors to the Mill Avenue District over the course of a 3-day weekend.
Quality artists are fundamental to the success of the event. Each Festival receives nearly 1,000 applications from artists from throughout North America. From these applicants, a jury comprised of members of the local art community selects the top artisans in each category to participate in the Festival. During the Festival, a new jury then selects the best overall artist and the top artist in each category.
Participants are separated into 18 different artistic categories for judging, ranging from woodwork to photography to ceramics and even wearable art. More than 350 artist booths line Mill Avenue and the surrounding streets presenting unique, and hand-made artwork that offers visitors a distinctive shopping experience.
While the Tempe Festival of the Arts focuses on visual art and the artists that create it, there also is a wide variety of other activities for guests to enjoy. Live entertainment provides fun for festival-goers. Performances throughout the venue keep audiences in high spirits throughout the day. In addition to the Festival Stage, street performers, vendors, sponsor exhibits and entertainment booths are set up for the amusement of Festival visitors. Visit the Arizona Wine Festival for tastings and sales by the glass, bottle, or case. And, enjoy The Art of Beer featuring local microbrewery sampling and sales. Kids can make free arts and crafts to take home at Kids Innovation Station. In addition to arts and entertainment, the Tempe Festival of the Arts offers support to the Tempe community. A portion of the proceeds raised at the Festival benefits local Tempe charities.

And Now for Something Different: Bols Blue
Posted by Arctic Wolf on October 10, 2010
Last week I wrote about a Lucas Bols Event at the Devlin Lounge in Edmonton. I alluded to a brand new cocktail I designed in honor of the 5th annual Bols Around The World Cocktail Competition. This competition is open to all bartenders across the world and although I am no bartender I could not resist breaking open my bottle of Bols Blue and try to get my creative juices flowing. I started with a well-known Bols Recipe, Electric Lemonade. This is a vodka based drink which combines vodka with Bols Blue in a tall refreshing bar drink that I like very much.
I could not help thinking as I enjoyed it, that I would really like to substitute out the Vodka and replace it with a really good quality gin. So I omitted the sugar syrup from the recipe, played with the proportion of Bols Blue to Gin, and tried varying amounts of each ingredient until I had it tasting just right. Last night a few friends were over to watch a movie, and I gave my cocktail the final test. (My friends claim to despise gin so it is fun to mix up a drink and prove them wrong.)
The verdict was unanimous as all of my friends loved this long sexy bar drink. Thus my fully tested cocktail creation for the Bols 5th Annual Cocktail Competition is now revealed:
Big Blue Sexy
(please click on the link for the recipe)
Of course I could not resist providing a full review of the Bols Blue (Curacao) Liqueur that I received as a gift at the Bols Event. Here is a link to the Bols Blue (Curacao) review:
Review: Bols Blue (Curacao)
I hope everyone enjoys the cocktail and the review!
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

NFL Will Start Season with Replacement Officials
The NFL's replacement officials aren't going away any time soon.
The league confirmed today in a memo sent to all 32 teams that the regular season will open with replacement officials, as the lockout of the NFL Referees Association continues.
The NFL says it's ready to negotiate with the locked-out officials, but they're not close enough to reaching an agreement that it's realistic to think the regular officials could be on the field when the season starts, one week from tonight.
This year's preseason games have seen plenty of bad calls, and several players have questioned whether the officials are in over their heads. A bad call that costs a team a regular-season game would surely amplify the cries for the league to get a deal done with its officials, but the NFL has insisted that the replacements are capable of doing the job. We're about to get at least 16 regular-season games for the replacements to show that the league office is right — or to show that the NFL is jeopardizing the integrity of the game by refusing to finalize a deal.

Here in Charleston, we love preserving our links to the past, and that can be seen in the grand old homes on The Battery that have had generations living in them.
But folks around here also preserve smaller pieces of history, and it's wonderful to see seemingly insignificant buildings restored and maintained, often by volunteers and small donations.
Such is the case of the School House Museum on Johns Island. Originally, the Walnut School House was built in 1868, one of about 11 one-room school houses on Johns Island that were the beginning of public education after the Civil War. The school house first was used by freed slaves and eventually by white students living at the southwest end of the island.
It was located on what is now Betsy Kerrison Parkway near Pumpkin Hill Road and became a courthouse in the 1930s. But in 1991, the building was going to be demolished as part of the road-widening project.
Betty Stringfellow, a local historian, rescued the building. She grew up on the Sea Islands, and her mother, Marie Andell Hamilton, had attended the school.
She had the building moved two miles down the road to her property, restored it, created exhibits and opened it as the Johns Island Museum in 2001.
But as is often the case without public funds, the museum closed in 2010 until the Johns Island Conservancy led an effort to reopen the museum two days a week and by appointment for school and community groups.
This group of volunteers is doing good things for Johns Island, like creating a multimedia project called "Johns Island Now" that shows the history of the island and the current development trends. And it is documenting the Johns Island dolphins, which are well-known for their fish-stranding behavior to snatch up a good meal.
The conservancy is looking for like-minded volunteers for this summer to hang out at the museum for two to three hours so that summer visitors to the islands can drop in.
They will have a photo exhibit from the book "Ain't You Got a Right to the Tree of Life" by Guy and Candie Carawan that shows life on Johns Island from 1870 to 1960.
It features the work of Esau Jenkins, born and raised on Johns Island, who worked tirelessly to get full education and the right to vote to blacks. He was a key figure in the local civil rights movement.
He also met the Carawans, who were fellow activists, folklorists and musicians. In 1963, they moved to Johns Island and in 1966 published their collection, documenting African-American life on Johns Island with quotes, stories and essays by Johns Islanders, music from the Moving Star Hall praise house and photographs by Robert Yellin.
The original material was donated to the Avery Research Center for African-American History and Culture at the College of Charleston. The current exhibit is based on copies of that important work.
The museum has its summer hours starting today, and it is free and open 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursdays and Saturdays. It's a wonderful way to see a small slice of history surrounded by the very fields and marshes that long have been the fabric of Johns Island. The museum is at 4455 Betsy Kerrison Parkway on the way to Beachwalker Park.
And if you want to volunteer to help keep the museum open for a few hours this summer, contact the conservancy at www.jicsc.org.
Reach Stephanie Harvin at 937-5557 or email@example.com.

October 5, 2005
Hood River County deputies spent a wet Friday afternoon hiding behind trees and bushes along Thomsen Road to await the arrival of a suspected drug dealer.
The brown of their uniforms blended with the bark of the trees that shielded them.
None of the law enforcement officials appeared to notice the rain drops that trickled through the green and russet canopy above their heads.
Their total concentration was on the driveway in front of them where the vehicle of a "client" was expected at any time.
"Let's do this. Let's get moving – this guy is on our list and we want him," had been the rallying cry of an undercover officer just minutes earlier.
He had just fielded a request for a drug buy over a cell phone that belonged to one of two newly-arrested men.
The deputies and members of the Mid-Columbia Interagency Narcotics Task Force (MINT) felt, in spite of the inclement weather, it might be their lucky day.
They could end up transporting three suspects to jail instead of the father and son who sat handcuffed and silent in nearby patrol cars.
"We mean business and we hope that drug dealers in this area are getting the message," said Patrol Capt. Jim Tomsen.
The hopes of the team were somewhat dashed when the targeted individual called to say that his car had broken down and he could not travel to their location. But, all things considered, it had been a good day for MINT in spite of the dismal fall weather.
"These arrests are the result of a five-month investigation," said a MINT spokesperson while he packaged marijuana, methamphetamine and cocaine.
A search of the mid-valley farm worker cabin occupied by Ascencio Solis Gordian, 56, had reportedly netted the small cache of drugs.
After obtaining a search warrant about 1 p.m. on Oct. 1, MINT members had scoured the two-room unit that Gordian and his wife had been living in for less than two weeks.
They allegedly discovered the illicit substances under the couple's bed and in a dresser drawer. Officers had also reportedly found a small amount of meth in Gordian's clothing at the time of his arrest.
His son, Rosario Gordian Cruz, had watched without emotion as MINT then prepared to arrest his friend from Hood River. He would unexpectedly be celebrating his 30th birthday behind bars on the following day. According to MINT members, the younger man had allegedly arranged several drug sales to an undercover officer.
Tomsen said citizens also have a role to play in the fight to stop drug use and sales in Hood River County. He asked anyone with information about these illegal activities to make a confidential call to the MINT tipline at 387-7034.

Field Report, Jaill, Klassik big RadioMilwaukee award winners
Breakout folk band Field Report, psychedelic pop rock trio Jaill, jazz-flirting rapper Klassik and alt country act Hugh Bob and the Hustle were the big winners at the RadioMilwaukee Music Awards Wednesday night, 88Nine Radio Milwaukee (WYMS-FM)'s sixth annual celebration of local music.
Field Report and Jaill both had terrific years in particular: their albums, "Field Report" and "Traps," were nationally distributed by indie labels Partisan Records and Sub Pop Records, respectively. Field Report's self-titled debut won album of the year, while Jaill's single "Waste a Lot of Things" took home the song of the year award Wednesday.
Emerging artists Klassik and the Hustle beat out strong competition from seasoned local acts such as singer-songwriter Hayward Williams and indie pop group Sulek to win solo artist and band of the year, respectively.
Winners and finalists were based on votes submitted online by RadioMilwaukee listeners and announced Wednesday night at Turner Hall Ballroom.
The most rewarding parts of the award ceremony for the audience were the performances by five local acts: Klassik, Jaill and Field Report, as well as sibling pop group Vic and Gab and folk act Juniper Tar, which took home the best live show award.
Through their short but satisfying 20-minute sets, the bands on the bill not only represented some of the highest quality in original Milwaukee music these days, but also the diversity of the scene, from the glistening pop pep of Vic and Gab's "I Haven't Seen You," to the smooth rhymes atop bending bass lines for Klassik's "Oh Yeah ... Ntro," to the lush vocal harmonies for Tar's "Black Pain Tea."
The winners of this year's RadioMilwaukee Music Awards are:
- Album of the Year: "Field Report," Field Report
- Song of the Year: "Waste a Lot of Things," Jaill
- Solo Artist of the Year: Klassik
- Band of the Year: Hugh Bob and the Hustle
- Catchiest Song: "Flying Away," Surgeons in Heat
- Best Album Artwork: "Escaper," Into Arcadia (artwork by Brooklyn Henke)
- Best Music Video: "Sing (For Trouble)," Altos (directed by Sean Williamson)
- Bandcamp Release of the Year: "For Your Consideration," Great Lake Drifters
- Best Disc RadioMilwaukee Missed (overlooked): "Typewriter," Wolfgang Schaefer
- Best Live Show: Juniper Tar
- Milwaukee Music Ambassador Award: Evan Rytlewski

VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced today that midfielder Gershon Koffie has obtained his permanent residency card from Citizenship and Immigration Canada and has agreed to a contract extension. Per Major League Soccer and club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.
"Gershon has embraced this club, city, and country, and we are very happy for him," said Martin Rennie, Whitecaps FC head coach. "He is the type of character we want at our club and being only 21, we think he has a big future ahead of him."
Born in Koforidua, Ghana, and raised in Accra, Ghana, Koffie first signed with Whitecaps FC on September 3, 2010, for the final matches of the 'Caps last season in division two. The 6-00, 175-pound central midfielder transitioned with the club to MLS and has since started 57 of his 59 MLS appearances, including the club's first ever MLS Cup Playoffs appearance. In that time, the promising young player has scored four goals and recorded two assists.
"I'm really glad to become a permanent resident of Canada," said Koffie. "The fans have been fantastic since I came to Vancouver in 2010. They've welcomed me and made this my home. I love this city and I can't wait to get back on the field."
Prior joining Whitecaps FC, the Ghanaian U-20 international played four seasons for International Allies FC in his native Ghana.
With the acquisition of his permanent residency card, Koffie will now count as a domestic player in MLS. For the 2013 season, Whitecaps FC hold 11 international spots and currently have ten internationals under contract.
Major League Soccer roster compliance deadline
The deadline for all MLS clubs to be roster compliant is March 1. While a club may continue to add or release players from their roster or training camp, the club's official roster – players under contract - must remain within the MLS roster guidelines.
Whitecaps FC kickoff the 2013 MLS season this Saturday, March 2, against Canadian arch-rivals Toronto FC at BC Place. Season tickets are available and start at $349, plus applicable service charges and fees. To secure a seat and for additional information about Whitecaps FC MLS season tickets, including Pitchside Club and suites, call 604.669.9283 or visit whitecapsfc.com/tickets.

"You're going to rot in hell, Christopher," Carol Curtis of Effort told the man charged with fatally choking and then stabbing his mother — her friend.
"You're going to rot in hell, Christopher," Carol Curtis of Effort told the man charged with fatally choking and then stabbing his mother — her friend.
A handcuffed Christopher Strachn, 21, offered no reply, keeping his eyes downcast as a state trooper placed him in the back of a police car after a preliminary hearing Monday.
"You took the best thing off this earth," Curtis told Strachn as her tears came.
Strachn told police he killed his mother, Adrienne Strachn, 53, in their Effort home because he didn't like her rules and because she verbally abused him, Trooper Joseph Campbell of the state police Lehighton barracks testified during the hearing.
At the end of the hearing, Snydersville District Judge JoLana Krawitz found the prosecution had presented sufficient evidence to send a criminal homicide charge against Christopher Strachn to county court.
Strachn said nothing as he sat beside his attorney, Fred Cutaio, during the hearing, at times making sudden, quick nods with his head or looking suddenly to his left. Adrienne Strachn's friends, having attended her burial Monday morning in Stroudsburg, sat quietly behind him, at times looking at him with grief-worn eyes.
Early on the morning of June 13, Christopher Strachn called 911 and said he had choked his mother in their Creek Drive home in Pleasant Valley Estates and that he believed she was dead. Police arrived and found Adrienne Strachn dead on the kitchen floor with blood under her body and a broken kitchen knife handle and blade nearby.
Campbell testified Christopher Strachn told them the following while in custody:
He and his mother were home alone in the house they shared with his father and siblings. She finished making beef stew and told him to come and get it.
That's when he walked up behind her, put her in a choke hold and wrestled her to the ground, at which point he stabbed her twice in the back with a kitchen knife. One of the stab wounds was to her right shoulder area.
Monroe County Coroner Bob Allen testified that a Lehigh Valley forensic pathologist, who later performed the autopsy on Adrienne Strachn, gave his medical opinion confirming she had been choked and then stabbed.
Christopher Strachn told police he left the kitchen after killing his mother and pondered suicide, but instead went back into the kitchen about an hour later and "massaged her back," according to Campbell.
If this is true, he must have turned her over afterward because police later found her on her back, as shown in photos taken at the scene, Campbell said.
Strachn told police he had been thinking about killing her and other family members for some time, Campbell said. He said he had "pumped himself up" to kill his eldest sister, but never went through with it.
"It's devastating," Curtis' tearful husband, Jerry Sookbersingh, said after the hearing. "Adrienne was like an angel to us. She was such a wonderful person. This was uncalled for. Christopher hasn't shown any remorse."
When asked about Strachn's mental state, Sookbersingh said, "I thought he seemed perfectly fine whenever I saw him."
Friends of the family have said Adrienne Strachn insisted on having her mentally ill son live at home instead of in an institution.
Christopher Strachn told police he was on different medications for his illness and had taken medication prior to killing his mother, Campbell said. When cross-examined by the defense, Campbell said he didn't recall Strachn saying he had needed a neurological exam prior to the murder.
Strachn remains incarcerated in Monroe County Correctional Facility without bail.

LONGMONT -- Josh Romney, one of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's five sons, is to make a campaign stop in Longmont this afternoon as part of a "Commit to Mitt Early Vote Express" tour.
Josh Romney is slated to pitch the GOP's early-voting push during a 3:15 p.m. appearance at the Boulder County Republicans' Longmont headquarters at 619 Ken Pratt Blvd., according to Ellie Wallace, Mitt Romney's Colorado campaign spokeswoman.
Today's event will be the second time this week that one of Mitt Romney's sons has brought his father's presidential campaign to Longmont. Josh's brother Matt rallied supporters at the Boulder County GOP office, which also is serving as the national and state Republicans' Victory Office, on Wednesday. Matt Romney also participated in some door-to-door campaigning in Longmont during that visit.
The Romney campaign staff said in a news release that in today's tour -- which includes stops scheduled for Littleton, Thornton and Fort Lupton, as well as Longmont -- Josh Romney will be encouraging Coloradans "to vote early for Mitt Romney and the GOP ticket." Josh Romney and his father's Republican supporters will also be making telephone calls at each of those locations to return their mail ballots, if they're using that voting option, or to vote early at designated polling locations between now and next Friday, rather than waiting until Election Day on Nov. 6.
The Boulder County Clerk and Recorder's Office reported this morning that as of Thursday evening, 38,160 Boulder County voters had returned their completed 2012 general election mail ballots, and another 2,618 of the county's voters had voted in person at one of the designated early-voting locations the county is providing.
Josh Romney, Mitt and Ann Romney's third son, is a Salt Lake City real estate investor whose company, Romney Ventures, owns and operates multifamily properties throughout the country. He has a bachelor's degree from Brigham Young University and a master's degree from Harvard Business School. He and his wife, Jan, have five children.
He'll be talking about "the clear choice in this election, highlighting his dad's proven record and his plan to strengthen America's middle class," his father's campaign staff said.
Democratic President Barack Obama's Colorado campaign staff, meanwhile, announced Thursday night that Obama -- who spoke at an outdoor event in Denver event this past Wednesday -- will return to Colorado next Tuesday, with what's being billed as a "grassroots event" in Colorado Springs.

Cliff Lee was introduced to the Seattle media in a conference call tonight, but many of the questions were about his departure from the Phillies.
Lee was traded yesterday for three prospects as a precursor to the deal that brought Roy Halladay to the Phillies.
"At first I didn't believe it," Lee said of the trade. "I thought we were working out an extension with the Phillies and I was going to spend the rest of my career there. That's when I guess you know it's a business ...
"Disbelief. Shock. Initially I was disappointed," Lee said when asked to expound on his emotions. "Obviously, it was great being part of a team that went to the World Series for the second year in a row and I was looking forward to trying for a third. That's a great group of guys. I enjoyed every second I was there. Now I'm in Seattle and I have to make the best of it."
Many fans wanted the Phillies to keep Lee and get Halladay, making for a superstar rotation with Cole Hamels.
"I was told it was possible," Lee said. "I heard two different stories. I think the Phillies would have liked that to have happened, but they didn't want to diminish their farm system. That's their prerogative. They're trying run a business and you have to respect that. Until you have a full no-trade clause, you're at their mercy."

Published in three volumes, Picturesque Worcester features the illustrations of artists living in Massachusetts. Elbridge Kingsley (1842-1918) was a painter, engraver, and art teacher who grew up in Hadley and Hatfield, MA. He spent considerable time as an adult sketching western Massachusetts in a homemade trailer. Frederick Knab (1865- 1918) was a painter born in Bavaria, who later came to the region. Picturesque Worcester, like many illustrated histories of its day, juxtaposed natural and man-made wonders, celebrating each. Page 7 of this book illustrates a large elm tree which was a particular symbol of America. Other pages show artistically rendered photographs of large rocks that are characteristic of the Worcester county landscape. Such rocks were deposited throughout the New England woods by glaciers and were often accompanied by particular stories of their origin. Other images of dams and mill ponds demonstrate ways in which man has harnessed these awe inspiring forces for his own use.

By Skip CleaverPosted Saturday, 30 November, 2013
This unique five-event series, with five races running the weekend of December 7 and 8, will bring thousands of runners and walkers, plus hundreds of kids in the Kids' Dash or Junior Jaunts, to participate in these holiday-themed events. The Jolly Jaunt race series will run in Boston, Taunton, and Springfield on Saturday, December 7, and Danvers and Hyannis on Sunday, December 8, 2013. "Jolly Jaunters", hundreds of them in costumes and most with bells on their running shoes, will take to the streets of these communities, running and walking for this very special cause.
All five events feature a professionally timed 5K race on a USATF-certified course. In some cases there are walks on alterative routes, but most include a walk on the same course. And most have a Kids' Dash or Junior Jaunt before the big race. All have a great after-race party with lots of food, music, fun, raffles and awards. Enjoyment will be part of the mix for participants, spectators and volunteers at these festivities. Some will attend and contribute simply to support the Special Olympics Athletes in any way they can.
This is a great way to kick off the holiday season with family, friends, and co-workers. Many will run and others walk; some will support participants with pledges, and others will simply donate in support of this exceptional and worthy cause.
Who better to support the Special Olympic Athletes than runners who value the health benefits and the unique camaraderie and social fabric of the sporting/running communities? Add holiday fun and it is an ideal running experience. For runners, the benefits of running and sports are clear and should be extended to all—especially these very special athletes. The 2013 season is still in process and wrapping up. There are 11,081 special athletes with over 95 organized competitions in 24 different sports being provided by Special Olympics Massachusetts. There are more than 9,000 volunteers and 1,281 coaches in these 24 different disciplines, team and individual.
These Jolly Jaunt races support programs geared to provide experiences, education, and competition for these special athletes--developing skill sets, sharing learning and athletic experiences; and enjoying camaraderie, friendship, joy, sense of accomplishment, fitness, health screenings, and much more. These events give back to those who would not have the satisfaction and dignity that comes with competition without Special Olympics Massachusetts.
The five-race series is sponsored/presented by the New Balance Foundation. Registration includes a donation, of course, but there are also fundraising pages available with the registration process. There is a wealth of information on the series and event websites for help with registration, directions event details, course info and maps, testimonials, results, pledge forms, FAQ's an more: http://www.specialolympicsma.org/events/fundraising-events/jolly-jaunt/
There will be serious competition at each of the races, and there will be holiday revelry and holiday costumes and jingle bells too. Anything goes, and spirits are always high. Excitement is building. Participants do good while feeling good. The dual contests of racing and raising funds kick off the "season of giving" for many. And it is oh so much fun no matter which race you choose. In fact, be a Super Olympian Participant and get your kicks in two events--this year it is possible. Here is the schedule with date and location of each:
Please check race website for times and more details on each location:
Saturday, December 7--Boston, MA, (the "Hub" of the series) Boston Common at Charles Street, 5K Run, 5K Walk, 1 mile Fun Walk.
Saturday, December 7--Taunton, MA, South Washington Street just off I-495. 5K Run, 5K Walk, 1 mile Fun Walk, Kids' Dash Junior Jaunt.
Saturday, December 7--Springfield, MA, Western New England University, 1215 Wilbraham Road, 10:00 a.m. 5K Run, 5K Walk, Kids' Dash Junior Jaunt.
Sunday, December 8--Danvers, MA, Lahey Outpatient Center, 5K Run, 5K Walk, 1K Fun Walk, Kids' Dash Junior Jaunt. (Early number pickup is available on Saturday.)
Sunday, December 8--Hyannis, MA, Resort and Conference Center of Hyannis, 35 Scudder Ave., Noon. 5K Run, 2K Fun Walk, Kids' Dash Junior Jaunt.
Registration is only $35.00 ($40 on race day). However, the Jolly Jaunt races are fundraisers, and as such all participants are encouraged to raise $100 to support Special Olympics Massachusetts. Each race provides a special prize for the top fundraiser, as well as awards to the woman and man winning the race; age group awards go to the top two in these divisions: 19-and-under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+.
Special Olympics—Special Cause
It is only fitting that Special Olympics fundraise through running. It is an organization that vaulted into the public conscience for allowing and encouraging individuals with intellectual disabilities to participate in organized sports (with Track and Field still being the most popular sport offered). They now embrace the running community to help support its year round training. As the season wraps up for 2013, Special Olympics MA will have organized and conducted dozens of competitions for Special Athletes. The Jolly Jaunt Series is at the forefront of a number of special programs that support those events.
In Massachusetts for 2013, the Special Olympics MA (SOMA) Athletes will compete in 24 sports across four sports seasons. Athletes of all ages and abilities will share in the joy, socialization and sportsmanship that so many of us have enjoyed throughout our lives—especially in organized running events. The Jolly Jaunt Race series helps to directly fund the community-based and school-based teams. The series also helps to cover the significant costs associated with hosting 10 state-level tournaments where Athletes compete for Gold, Silver and Bronze medals, the benchmark of competition within the Special Olympics world.
The Original Jaunt
Though Boston is now the "Hub" of the series, SOMA held that first 5K fundraising race and fitness walk in Taunton 24 years ago, which helped to support the growing number of Athletes and teams in Southeastern Massachusetts. And the Taunton Jolly Jaunt is still a cornerstone of the series. The Jolly Jaunt has grown to include five excellent races; and of course, the need has grown as the number of Special Olympics Athletes has increased dramatically.
All five Jaunts have the same roots and the same goals, but each race has a unique and different feel specific to its community and unique scenery and course. Each embraces the holiday season with many participants dressing for the occasion as the holidays approach. Costume contests with fun prizes for the most festive attire, along with some serious competition, have defined the unique sparkle and enjoyment of this Series.
Volunteering for SOMA
Special Olympics MA is a volunteer driven organization. With more than 9,000 volunteers and over 1,200 coaches, they include event planners and day-of event volunteers--critical to the success of the program (including volunteers for each of the Jolly Jaunt races). SOMA is always looking for additional support, and the rewards are heartwarming, especially in the spirit of the season. If you are interested in volunteering for Special Olympics MA, these events or the SOMA competitions, please visit www.SpecialOlympicsMA.org.
Feel Good by Doing Good
Get moving, plan for your Jolly Jaunt and broaden your racing experience. Get ready for the holidays and perhaps get a jump on your training and running goals for 2014. These events are terrific because they benefit others in a big way. These special athletes deserve our support, and these events are perfect to provide it. Make Jolly Jaunt one of your races, enjoy the sport and experience something special. Enjoy the race, the special feeling and the celebratory post race party. Make this a goal and a destination. Pick the one (or two) that is right for you, gather teams, family and friends, select your costume, come with bells on and enjoy the Jolly Jaunt Series. www.JollyJaunt.org

When he was 6 years old, Wayne Adickes pressed his nose against the glass window to look into the Cuero Coca-Cola bottling plant.
Now 73, Adickes remembers how the bottles clinked together on the assembly line and were washed and refilled with the sugary beverage with ease.
"I was amazed by how automated it all was," Adickes said.
Adickes, the chairman of the Cuero Heritage Museum board, was holding a blue folder thick with old photographs, using one to orient himself to the changes made at the building through the years.
Now, the floor's hexagonal tile is a little gritty.
No one knows what happened to the famed, 8-foot-tall neon Coca-Cola sign posted out front or a number of other memorabilia that once dotted the facade.
Still, Adickes and other like-minded community members are convinced the place just needs a little TLC.
"People will see it and think, `Oh, it looks like such a mess,' but it's actually very structurally sound," Adickes told the Victoria Advocate.
He's hoping that in a year's time, they'll secure funding and the place will boast enough educational meeting space to accommodate as many as 170 people.
The renovation plans also call for a small Coca-Cola museum inside, offices upstairs and a green space where workers used to load the product onto trucks.
Reflecting on that time, Adickes pulled out a photo of the late E.T. Summers Jr. standing beside one such truck, which had bottles in small slots, exposed to the elements.
"I always wondered what would happen if they went around a curb too fast and they slid off," he said, smiling.
Summers was in his 90s when Adickes first met him.
Summers succeeded his father, E.T. Summers Sr., as president of the local bottling company, but he started out delivering the drink.
"When his father bought the bottling company, Coke was not popular," Adickes said, explaining how people preferred strawberry and orange drinks, "but he persevered, and Coke grew and grew and grew."
The plant was built in 1931, coincidentally, by Adickes' grandfather, William Adickes.
The elder Adickes impressed Summers with the work he did on his family home, so he was hired a second time.
That was among several reasons Adickes implored the Cuero City Council to buy the building two years ago.
The city afterward tore down a 1960s addition to the plant. It may need space in the plant later for the building department or other city offices, City Manager Raymie Zella said.
"It was vacant for years before that," Zella said. "It was just kind of a downtown eyesore ... This will add to the looks and give citizens a place to gather."
Zella estimated renovations would cost about $1 million.
Architect Kim Williams, meanwhile, is trying to attract investors by combining federal and state tax credits.
He thinks combining them could yield a 45 percent savings for every dollar spent.
He also hopes to implement a public-private partnership.
That's a legal framework through which Cuero -- instead of issuing a bond or a certificate of obligation -- could seek funds from private businesses or investors to implement the renovations.
After the renovations are complete, the city could charge rent, which it would then turn over to the investors.
The property would revert back into the city's hands after the project was paid off.
The Texas Department of Transportation uses a public-private partnership to construct tollways. The tollways revert back to the state once they are paid off, Williams said.
"Restoring the building will probably be the easy part; getting this innovative business plan is quite a challenge," said Williams, who also renovated the old Ford dealership into the county courthouse annex and the DeWitt County Courthouse.
Summers, who died in May, was very happy when he found out about the project, his daughter, Linda Wagner, said.
"I think people may remember Dad 100 years from now because of that. Coca-Cola would have been long gone by that time, but it's a good idea," she said.
Although Wagner, of Port Lavaca, did not work for the company like her brothers, she remembered pounding away at a typewriter in her father's office as a child.
"We also couldn't have anything but Coke," she said, chuckling. "If I went to a birthday party, and they didn't have Coke, I would just ask for water."

Behind the scenes at Hermes: Denver audience screens a documentary
"Inexpensive" will never be a word to describe items bearing the Hermes label. There's a good reason why.
Each scarf, purse, saddle and jewel produced for the iconic manufacturer of luxury goods is a work of art.
And the people who make them take great pride in what they do, as a select group of Denver-area residents learned when the 2011 Hermes documentary "Hearts and Crafts" was screened at the Denver Art Museum.

We make the case that the material used on the finest furniture of the past should be in your future.
By Marc Adams
Pages: 38-45
From the October 2010 issue # 185

I work with veneers! There I said it – this must be what it feels like to come out of the closet. I cut my teeth as a woodworker when veneering furniture was frowned upon. And often I had to educate my clients on why veneered furniture is as worthy as solid-wood furniture.
Wood veneer is a remarkable material that has been used for centuries. It is cost efficient, easy to work, comes in a variety of colors and textures, can be purchased in sequential order and matched together architecturally, can be used decoratively, is easy to repair and can even increase the value of your work. That's right – increase the value of your work.
The truth is that the majority of the priceless furniture pieces made during the Renaissance are covered with veneer. In fact, working with veneer goes back centuries before the Renaissance. Egyptians imported cedar, cypress and ebony from Syria and Africa. These logs were cut into veneers to adorn the furniture of the Pharaohs. So the question is, if veneer was so highly regarded throughout antiquity, then why would using it in modern America be so objectionable?
I guess it boils down to two reasons: resources and production. When the first settlers came to this land, trees were abundant and the furniture built by the Colonists was made with simple tools and local materials. Because wood was so readily available and easy to work, it became the standard for how furniture was to be made. Because traditional furniture was handmade with solid wood, it's perceived as more durable and, probably because it is heavier, far more substantial. For this reason, the mindset is that solid wood means better quality.

Blog: Read Robert W. Lang's blog entries about his visit to a veneer mill.
Web site: Visit the web site for the Marc Adams School of Woodworking.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I would prefer a 24" wheel does anyone know where I can get one though?
I'll look into the Efneo GTRO it's about $200 less than the Schlumpf. I like the way schlumpf shifts with the center pin. Does the Efneo do that? Does it require a trigger shifter?
I see where TerraTrike offers a Schlumpf drive thru Amazon. No specifications on ratios. Does anyone know the ratios offered through Terra Trike? Couldn't I just directly order from Terra Trike or is this a deal where I have to go thru Amazon?

Agnes Igoye's Story
As a Senior Immigration Officer/Training Coordinator for Uganda's Directorate of Citizenship and Immigration Control, Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program alumna Agnes Igoye is committed to eradicating modern-day human trafficking. As a 2010-2011 Fellow at the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs, she studied Trafficking in Persons, Policy and Prevention.
During her Fellowship, Agnes was selected to participate in the 2011 Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) conference in San Diego based on her commitment to provide housing, create scholarships, and help secure employment for trafficking victims in her home country. At the conference, Agnes said she forged partnerships with others who have committed to making a difference in Africa. Additionally, she attended skills sessions in several areas, including fundraising and social media. She also met with celebrities and practitioners who are making a difference in the area of human rights/human trafficking.
Since returning to Uganda, Agnes has been working with "Coming Home", a victim rehabilitation project undertaken by the umbrella organization Chain of Hope. Agnes and other volunteers are currently providing assistance to 75 orphaned children, some of whom were abducted and trafficked by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), and others who were victims of rape as a weapon of war. Chain of Hope is also partnering with other organizations that will help provide education, books, fundraising, and law enforcement training.
On November 17th, 2012, Agnes received the 2012 Inspirational Woman of Uganda Award for Anti Human Trafficking Work & Youth Empowerment, presented to her by the U.S. Ambassador to Uganda, Mr. Scott DeLisi. She now serves as the national coordinator for the Uganda-U.S. Exchange Alumni Association, which trains over 250 women and youths on entrepreneurship skills.

Dead Space 3 co-op isn't mandatory and will still provide plenty of scares, says producer
Dead Space 3 producer Steve Papoutsis has said those who aren't interested in playing the co-op portion of the game will only miss out on the social aspect, not the storyline, and certainly not the scares.
Speaking with the PS Blog, Papoutsis said when designing the co-op elements, the team wanted to make sure it was both unique and didn't have an "AI bot" following players around.
"That wouldn't feel like Dead Space," he said. [We wanted to] create a co-op mode that felt additive to the experience. You don't have to play it – you can play Dead Space 3 in single-player and it plays out in very similar way to what you've experienced in the past, and we needed to create a character that fit into the universe and didn't feel like a throw-away character.
"We first announced John Carver through a graphic novel, so he has his own unique personality and backstory. So when you get into the game he actually brings value to what's going on. You learn about him and his own personal demons. That's very different, and we feel it's very innovative.
"As for being alone and walking down a corridor on your own – you still have that in Dead Space 3. You can play the single player and you still have that. But now when you have another character in the scene with you, it's a different approach to the horror – it's more psychological. That's a new feeling that you've never had in a Dead Space game. That's how we're injecting horror into the co-op.
"There's a lot more to horror than things just popping out at you. There's the atmosphere, the sound, the events, the things that you see in the environment – those all have different impacts on people. You can still have all that when you have two people walking around the environment. So, if you want to have the intense single play experience you can still do that."
For those who aren't interested in playing co-op in the game, don't worry – you won't miss out on "anything."
"If you're playing single player you're choosing to have that solitary Isaac experience," said Papoutsis. "If you're interested in learning about Carver, you're playing with a friend and you're getting that additive information, but it's not changing the end of the story. It's impacting Carver's story."
Dead Space is out on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 in February.
