Cherokee County Council agreed to loan the recreation district up to $400,000 for a new building, and the project could go out to bid by the end of this year.
Cherokee County Council agreed to loan the recreation district up to $400,000 for a new building, and the project could go out to bid by the end of this year.
Every councilman voted in favor of the loan, except for Councilman Tracy McDaniel, who abstained from the vote.
The roughly 4,000-square-foot building will be built on a site that the county owns between Twin Lakes and Midway roads, and the entire project is estimated at $481,950, a figure that includes a 10 percent contingency, said Recreation District Chairman Mike Bolin. Bolin said actual construction costs could come in below that figure, and the district likely would save some funds on furnishing the building, he said.
The district will repay the simple interest (4 percent) loan throughout the next 20 years, although it could be repaid early with no penalty, under the terms.
"There are (additional) savings to be made if the bids come out in December, so we're hoping the project is bid next month so companies can have it on their lists for next year," Bolin said.
The loan will be structured so the district receives payments during building construction. The funds the district will borrow will be taken from the county's capital projects fund.
Bolin said the district intends to follow the county's procurement procedures, which gives preference to local contractors.
Architect Barry Agnew presented council with drawings of the building during its Nov. 5 meeting. The building will include recreation department offices, a conference room, and storage for baseball and football leagues.
The building will replace the current offices, which likely will be demolished. The facility has some structural and safety concerns, Agnew said.

"Is Ubuntu an operating system? Last week at EuroOSCON, Mark Shuttleworth gave the closing keynote outlining what he believes are the major struggles faced by the open-source/free-software community. During his talk, it became clear that Ubuntu is trying to achieve a radical shift in the software world. Ubuntu isn't trying to be a platform for mass-market application software: it is trying to be the primary provider of both the operating system and all the application software that a typical user would want to run on his machine. Most Linux distributions are like this, and I think it is a dangerous trend that will stifle innovation and usability."

Asus P5Q3 Review
When speaking of motherboards, Asus is always a name that comes up. They roll out a product line that spans the entire spectrum of price points, from budget to high performance. Whether i'ts Intel or AMD, 790i or X48, DDR2 or DDR3, Asus makes it. Additionally, the reputation they've earned for making high quality motherboards ring loud throughout the enthusiast scene. Few can argue the attention to detail that remains consistent in all their merchandise.
The P45 Express is the last in a long line of successful Intel based chipsets made specifically for Socket 775 motherboards. It provides high end features and makes them available to the mainstream market by giving consumers an affordable platform that supports the latest technology. Asus makes 12 different P45 models and today I'll review the increasingly popular Asus P5Q3 which gives you 45nm CPU support, a 1600 front side bus, up to 16GB of DDR3-1800 compatibility, and CrossFireX support. If you are in the market for an affordable motherboard with lots of features, you will definitely want to check out this review.
Closer Look:
Asus packs the P5Q3 in a handsome blue box that proudly displays all of its selling points. The top cover shows displays notable features such as the EPU Six Engine utility, DDR3-1800 support, solid capacitor use, and Express Gate. Flip the package over and you'll find a display of additional features that the P5Q3 provides.
The bundle provided by Asus is small but meets expectations for the price point of this product. Besides the user's guide, you'll receive some data cables and a SATA power cable. Asus also threw in the Q-Connector kit for an easier way to hook up front panel connections.

WASHINGTON — Kristen Brown was away at college Nov. 17 when an EF-4 tornado destroyed her childhood home and many personal belongings.
Even though she wasn't an eyewitness to the twister that devastated a part of Washington, she said she wants to help others who have suffered losses to process their emotions and heal.
She's doing it through her passion — art. The 22-year-old community art major at Wheaton College has created what she's calling, Emotion in Motion.
On one side of the project is a 6-foot-by-6-foot wall of tornado debris. On the other side is a chalkboard where tornado survivors can answer a written question.
The debris came from several sources.
"I used floor boards from our house and rubble I found around town. I always asked people if I could have their stuff," Brown said.
The project rests on a trailer borrowed from family friends. The chalkboard is actually plywood with chalkboard paint.
"I'm being as frugal as I can," Brown said. "I used some of the insurance money I received from losing my personal stuff to fund the project."
Brown held a sendoff ceremony for Emotion in Motion on Monday night at her family's former home at 1203 Windsor Way.
After bringing the project to Five Points Washington for several hours Tuesday, she'll take it to about a dozen Washington businesses that have given her permission to set up shop.
"I want places with a lot of foot traffic," she said.
The 2010 Washington Community High School graduate hopes to add more city businesses and parks to the list of Emotion in Mortion stops over the next few weeks.
Emotion in Motion is a work in progress in addition to being a traveling piece of art.
Once the blackboard is filled with answers to the posted question, Brown will take a photo of the responses, erase them and ask a new question.
Brown said her parents, Rob and Susie Brown, are selling their lot on Windsor Way and have moved to Germantown Hills.
"It's not specifically because of the tornado. They've been looking to downsize for a while, so now seemed like a good time," she said.
She has two older sisters who are married.
There are plans to hold additional events involving Emotion in Motion and perhaps taking it to East Peoria and Pekin, which also were battered by tornadoes Nov. 17.
For more information on the project, go to the Emotion in Motion/Washington Stories page on Facebook.

it was so fantastic to meet you ladies this evening! the film was all i hoped for and more. thanks for all your hard work supporting the movement--in a funny way, you're heroes to all of us little makers out there with tiny voices. :) take care, hope to see you again...
Hi everyone! We're Carolina and Daniela, Chilean Designers. Each one of us has her own brand, which we design, produce and sell, and together we're working on the organization of a hand made fair, called 'Mercado Indie' which had a successful first edition. Moreover we're involved with conferences and design exhibitions at universities with local and International guests.
We've been following "Handmade Nation", booth book and documentary, and we have to say we're huge fans of your work!
We'd love to handle the possibility of showing the "Handmade Nation" documentary in Chile. In case you're interested we'd like to make it happen over here.
We're connected with independent cinemas and universities that would be more than happy to exhibit your art. We know you've been shown in several countries besides the U.S., hence we don't want to leave Latin America behind.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best regards, Carolina & Daniela
Thanks you guys!!
From West Bend, WI to Chile... amazing!

Karen Souza,
Cranberry Signcraft
"The EDGE allows us to provide our customers with high-quality graphics and promotional items easily and quickly, which makes us money. One of the key reasons we chose Gerber is the tech support. Without someone who can get you up and running quickly, all the fancy equipment in the world is worthless. With the tech support from Gerber we are covered at all times."
Allen C. Petersen,
"Actually, there's nothing the Gerber Sabre router won't do. Right now we're cutting out four-foot wide images to decorate the construction walls being put up as
windows are replaced. Later we'll be cutting out large plexiglass letters. The carbide bit makes a smooth cut that requires very little sanding. Best of all, you can just program it and go off to work on another project."
Jim Murphy,
National Air & Space Museum
"I learned right away that Gerber, in my opinion, is the best in the sign industry, so why buy any other? The EDGE is clean running and the prints come out ready for application."
Gary Gover,
G&L's Sign Factory
"I am impressed with the precision of the M Series digital die cutting of printed graphics. With the variety of tools we are able to cut Fome-Cor, Gatorfoam, cardstock,
Sintra, Dibond®, and corrugated plastics and cardboard. Its rugged construction and large, 6' x 10' table size make it especially suited to our wide-format graphics."
Scott Cohen,
King Kolor
"Our shop had the previous generation EDGE and to be honest, I can't imagine what this place would be like without it. About three years ago, we upgraded to the EDGE FX and as far as I am concerned, making that upgrade was a no-brainer."
Barry Collier,
Columbus Sign Company
"Inkjets have daily maintenance schedules, while the EDGE has almost no daily maintenance. It's a dry system, so it's less messy than an inkjet, and you don't have to deal with solvents in cleaning or maintenance. There are no venting issues and no VOC's, which make it much greener for the environment, something that's very important in today's world."
Gary Schellerer, Jr.,
Signs by Tomorrow
"Everyone wants to know what system we use. The EDGE has put us at the forefront of exhibit graphics. And the Gerber vinyls themselves weed easier, adhere better, and last longer – especially on outdoor exhibits."
Tim Tidwell,
U.S. Army Ordnance Museum

Reviewed by Jacob B. (age 10)
I liked the book and couldn't put it down because I wanted to know what happened when Sasha ran away. I was really scared because Sasha had a problem with her heart.
Sasha reminds me of my dog Sparky. They're both nice and adventurous. They are both nice. Sasha rubs against people and Sparky licks people. They both run all around and make life exciting.
This book is just like the other books by this author. Animals get lost and they always come to the Animal Ark to get treated. Mandy and James always help rescue them and help stray animals.
I felt sad when I read this book because I didn't know if they would ever find Sasha. I didn't know if Sasha would find any food where she was.
I would recommend this book. The people that would like it the most are second through fourth grade. I think that all of you that are detectives would like to find out about when Sasha runs away and they have to search for her.

AgfaPhoto dunks its latest underwater camera
Captures sub-aqua action with ease
European photography outfit AgfaPhoto has expanded its submersible camera range with the launch of its latest underwater compact.
AgfaPhoto's DC-600uw: waterproof to 10m
The 6Mp DC-600uw would be ideal for upcoming summer holidays because it'll happily snap still images and video at depths of up to 10m. The camera will also capture sound while recording videos underwater, the company added.
While the DC-600uw's technical specifications aren't as impressive as those of AgfaPhoto's existing Optima 830UW – an 8Mp waterproof camera for adventure-sports types – the camera still manages to pack a healthy range of features into its 87 x 161 x 225mm body.
For example, the camera has a 2.4in LCD display, a top ISO sensitivity of 1600 and a 5x digital zoom. The DC-600uw doesn't feature an optical zoom.
It's dustproof too
Films and photos are stored on SD cards of up to 8GB capacity, and various pre-set shooting modes are on offer, including portrait, sunset and – of course – underwater.
AgfaPhoto's DC-600uw is available now online for $200 (£120/€141). A UK price hasn't washed up yet. ®

Why does the Harry Chapin Wiki exist?
In 1999, Marty Acks started a Harry Chapin fan website. By 2008 the website was in need of updating. A wiki style update was chosen to simplify editing, provide built in searching, and for overall modernization of the website. Being a wiki, this web site now allow others to share what they know of Harry Chapin, his body of work, and the people and organizations he touched.
While Wikipedia is a great resource for information about famous people such as Harry, it also has notability guidelines. Much of the information in this website would not pass he notability test appropriate to a general purpose on-line encyclopedia, however it would be welcome here. Therefore, this wiki exists.
Contributions to the website are welcome and encouraged. This site uses the same software as wikipedia (mediawiki), so if you have updated wikipedia the process should be the same. If you have ideas for content but would prefer not to enter it yourself feel free to e-mail me directly. Trivia is encouraged, mind your manners, respect copyrights, and be reasonably Chapin related.
Should you have any questions feel free to contact me at martyacks at anyoldkindofday.com.

Hugh Jackman will make his Southern California stage debut this fall.
The Tony winner and Oscar nominee will bring his hit Broadway show "One Night Only" to Los Angeles to benefit the Motion Picture & Television Fund.
The one-man show will play Saturday, Oct. 12, at the Dolby Theatre and will feature a mix of musical entertainment and Hollywood film highlights.

Wednesday brought mostly good news for local high school teams playing first-round playoff games, with two higher seeds advancing and two lower-seeded squads pulling off road upsets.
The highest seed in action was the No. 4 Mount Abraham Union girls' soccer team in Division II. The Eagles moved to 9-4-1 by cruising past visiting No. 12 Woodstock, 4-0, a result that dropped the Wasps to 5-10. The Eagle defenders held the Wasps to one shot on goalie Zoe Cassels-Brown, and one of those defenders, Harlie Vincent, opened the scoring for Mount Abe by netting a penalty kick with 10:29 left in the first half.
Stephanie White made it 2-0 at halftime by converting an M.K. Charnley feed, and Mount Abe added second-half goals by Ashlie Fay andErnesta McIntosh, with Meghan Livingston andMary Kate Clark picking up the assists. Woodstock goalie Kaila Lemmer made nine saves. Next up for the Eagles is a 2 p.m. Saturday quarterfinal over the mountain at No. 4 Harwood (11-3-1), a 7-1 winner over Lamoille on Wednesday.
Also winning as a higher seed on Wednesday was the No. 8 Middlebury Union field hockey team, which topped visiting No. 9 Mount Mansfield, 3-2, in a D-I matchup. The victory was the Tigers' first at home this fall, and it avenged a 6-1 loss at MMU when the Tigers were without two injured starters. MUHS improved to 4-7-3 heading into a quarterfinal at No. 1 Essex (10-1-3) on Saturday at 3 p.m., while MMU fell to 4-7-1. The Tigers held edges of 8-5 in shots on goal and 12-7 in penalty corners.
MMU took the lead in the second minute on the first of two Hattie Hevrin goals. That lead held until 16:40 of the second half, when Sara Kelley made it 1-1 by poking home a loose ball in a scramble created by a senior Kiera Kirkaldy's serve on a restart. Senior Paige Viens swept in a feed by senior Kate Knowles home at 5:31 to make it 2-1, and Knowles made it 3-1 at 3:54 after taking a Viens injection on a penalty corner. Hevrin scored at 0:08 for MMU. Tiger goalie Baily Ryan made four saves, and the Tigers' fourth senior, Jess Brisson, had a strong game on defense.
The MUHS girls' soccer team, No. 15 in D-II, pulled off the biggest upset, knocking off host No. 2 Lake Region, 2-0. LRU dropped to 12-3; of those 12 wins only two came against D-II competition, however. The Tigers improved to 3-12 and snapped two streaks: They had not won since starting the season 2-0, and had not scored in their past nine games. The victory earned MUHS a quarterfinal date at No. 7 Montpelier (8-6-1) on Saturday at 2 p.m.
The Tigers broke their scoreless streak early on. In the 14th minute, Kat Townshend converted a cross from Sara Boe to give MUHS the lead. At 4:31 of the second half, Boe received the ball in the box and turned and fired into the lower right corner to make it 2-0. Coach Wendy Leeds said freshman goalie Riley Fenster — recently pressed into duty when starter Molly Campbell suffered a season-ending injury — made a couple key saves among her total of nine, and that defender Claire Armstrong excelled in marking LRU standout Tyrah Urie. The only other team to shut out LRU this season is undefeated D-III powerhouse Peoples. LRU goalie Jordyn Cowles made 10 saves.
Also notching a road upset was the No. 7 Vergennes Union boys' soccer team, also by a 2-0 score: The Commodores blanked host No. 7 U-32 by that count to advance in the D-II playoffs. VUHS improved to 5-8-2 and will visit No. 2 Montpelier on Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. That game is a rematch of a 3-1 Solon win at VUHS on Sept. 13. That match was competitive: The Commodores had a 14-12 edge in shots on goal.
On Wednesday, defender Josh Benning stepped into the attack and gave VUHS the lead in the 10th minute with a header. Twelve minutes later, Dana Ambrose bent a corner kick home to make it 2-0. The VUHS defense and goalie Dylan Raymond (seven saves) did the rest of the work. Mackinley Shaffer made eight saves for the Raiders (7-7-1).
The upsets ended there. In D-II girls' soccer, host No. 8 Springfield defeated No. 9 VUHS, 3-0. Co-coach Peter Maneen said the VUHS defense, especially Kareena Vorsteveld andSara Stearns, and goalie K.C. Ambrose played well against a team that had scored 39 goals in 14 games, allowing only one goal in the run of play. Two Cosmo goals came on penalty kicks, both struck well by Chelsea McAllister. VUHS finished at 6-8, and Springfield improved to 7-7-1.
Finally, D-II boys' soccer No. 4 seed Rice (9-5-1) brushed aside visiting Otter Valley, 9-0. OV, a team dealing with late-season injuries, finished at 5-10.
The area's three football teams will begin their playoff quests this weekend: No. 1 MUHS (8-0) will host No. 8 St. Johnsbury (3-5) in a Friday night D-I quarterfinal at 7 p.m., and in a D-III quarterfinal No. 4 Mount Abe (6-2) will host No. 5 OV (5-2) on Saturday at 1 p.m.
Also this weekend, the Eagle boys' soccer team, No. 1 in D-II at 14-1, will host No. 8 Milton (7-7-1) on Friday at 3 p.m; the No. 3 Eagle field hockey team (7-3-3) opens the D-II playoffs by hosting No. 6 Spaulding (9-5) at 3:45 p.m. on Friday; and the No. 2 OV field hockey team (11-3) makes its postseason debut by hosting No. 7 Harwood (10-5) on Saturday at 3 p.m. in another D-II quarterfinal.

Airline passengers will be able to carry small knives, souvenir baseball bats, golf clubs and other sports equipment onto planes beginning next month under a policy change announced Tuesday by the head of the Transportation Security Administration.
The new policy conforms U.S. security standards to international standards, and allows TSA to concentrate its energies on more serious safety threats, the agency said in a statement.
The announcement, made by TSA Administrator John Pistole at an airline industry gathering in New York, drew an immediate outcry from unions representing flight attendants and other airline workers, who said the items are still dangerous in the hands of the wrong passengers.
Transport Workers Union Local 556, which represents over 10,000 flight attendants at Southwest Airlines, called the new policy "dangerous" and "shortsighted," saying it was designed to make "the lives of TSA staff easier, but not make flights safer."
"While we agree that a passenger wielding a small knife or swinging a golf club or hockey stick poses less of a threat to the pilot locked in the cockpit, these are real threats to passengers and flight attendants in the passenger cabin," the union said in a statement.
The policy change was based on a recommendation from an internal TSA working group, which decided the items represented no real danger, said David Castelveter, a spokesman for the agency.
The presence on flights of gun-carrying pilots traveling as passengers, federal air marshals and airline crew members trained in self-defense provide additional layers of security to protect against misuse of the items, he said. However, not all flights have federal air marshals or armed pilots onboard.
The new policy permits folding knives with blades that are 2.36 inches or less in length and are less than 1/2-inch wide. The policy is aimed at allowing passengers to carry pen knives, corkscrews with small blades and other knives.
Passengers also will be allowed to bring onboard as part of their carry-on luggage novelty-sized baseball bats less than 24 inches long, toy plastic bats, billiard cues, ski poles, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks and two golf clubs, the agency said. The policy goes into effect on April 25.
Security standards adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization, a U.N. agency, already call for passengers to be able to carry those items. Those standards are non-binding, but many countries follow them.
Box cutters, razor blades and knives that don't fold or that have molded grip handles will still be prohibited, the TSA said.

"ps. If you really want to get Thom's attention send him a link to the exploit in an email... Just tell him what you are going to change his password to"
That's actually what I did. The exploit I used was a bit more sophisticated than redirected form submission - it takes over control of the user session in an iframe (which is the reason it was browser dependent) and passes control to another server.
This year one of my clients was attacked with one of the most sophisticated PHP attacks I had seen to date. Malicious code was uploaded on one website through an image upload form, propagated to another website through background mirroring jobs, and exploited on that second website. The code was self obfuscating and ultimately extracted and installed a PHP trojan which was used to conduct an attack on another third party server (who accused us of hacking them).

DAN assists chambers by providing technical and educational support as well as equipment for recompression chambers in remote locations. This assistance principally has been to marginally staffed and supported facilities in the Caribbean and Central America, but it has reached as far as the South Pacific and here in the United States.
DAN continues to provide training workshops to recompression chamber personnel. Recreational divers travel the world, often visiting remote dive locations that have limited resources for recompression facilities and staff training. RCAP tries to fill this gap in health care.
Policies and ProceduresPurpose: The purpose of RCAP is to assist recompression chambers in the DAN, DAN World and DAN Brasil regions in areas of equipment, training and emergency assistance in maintaining their ability to or in becoming able to assist divers in need according to levels DAN believes appropriate. Assistance is offered to those chambers that may otherwise not be able to financially provide what is requested. This assistance may also be available to recompression chambers outside those DAN regions.
Goal: While there is no specific number of chambers this program will assist on an annual basis, it is the goal of this grant program to help ensure local quality chamber assistance to injured divers in areas where diving occurs. Quality chamber assistance is based on established guidelines for basic standards of equipment, personnel training and availability to DAN Members.
Funding: This program is funded by donations. It is managed under the business and tax laws of the United States under the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization status of DAN, Inc.
Management: The DAN Medical Information department manages RCAP. The RCAP Committee meets every two months in person or by conference call to discuss current requests or needs presented to the committee. In extreme cases, when waiting for a regular meeting is not possible, a special meeting of the committee may be called.
Cash support will not be provided directly. Support is in the form of reimbursement, direct purchase or other method deemed appropriate for the particular situation.
Notifications, both approvals and denials, will be sent once the committee determines an outcome and no later than the end of the grant cycle.
Process and criteria for support: Any recompression chamber that serves recreational diving in the DAN, DAN World or DAN Brasil region may apply for assistance in the area of equipment, emergency and training needs. Any chamber in those regions may also request assistance with a needs-assessment evaluation/review at any time. The chairman will determine whether a request is an emergency with a need to call a special meeting, otherwise requests will be reviewed at the next regular RCAP Committee meeting.
Chambers outside the DAN, DAN World and DAN Brasil regions are encouraged to apply for assistance if desired. However, it must be understood that priority is placed on assisting those within the listed regions.
Management: Grant cycles close the final business day in August, October, December, February, April and June. Grant requests must be received before 5 p.m. Eastern time on these days to be considered for the respective grant cycle. The RCAP coordinator will review grant requests for adherence to RCAP submission guidelines. Only applications meeting these guidelines will be considered. All others will be returned to the originator referring to submission requirements and inviting a resubmission for a future grant cycle once all guidelines have been met.
Application ProcedureThe proposal must include these components and be presented in this order after a table of contents:
1. Overview
2. Organizational introduction
3. Needs statement
4. Objectives
5. Methods
The proposal should be formatted as follows:

These days there's a discount to be found for just about any service, so perhaps we should not be surprised that Groupon has started offering a deal in New York City to name your baby for you. True, this is likely a Father's Day PR stunt, but still it's fun to consider the possibility of paying them to decide your baby's fate in life. The bad news is that this Groupon will cost you a hefty $1,000, and for that price they will only chose the name Clembough for your precious bundle of joy—no exceptions! Sure, Clembough might not be what you'd pick, but you have to admit it does have a unique ring to it. Though consider this: If everyone in your neighborhood opted to take advantage of this deal, your little one will be one of about 25 Clemboughs in his kindergarten class. So, perhaps it's better to save yourself the grand and pick a name yourself. How about Groupon? It's pretty much guaranteed that there won't be a ton of those running around Brooklyn among all the tiny Djangos and Chloes, and in 25 years nobody will even remember what a Groupon was.

All News Releases By Date
New Haven, Conn. Cold Storage Warehouse Fined for Release of Toxic Ammonia from Facility
Release Date: 06/12/2013
Contact Information: Emily Zimmerman, 617-918-1037
(Boston, MA—June 12, 2013)— EPA recently settled a case with Connecticut Freezers, Inc. and Maritime International, Inc. stemming from the release of about 5,000 pounds of ammonia from a cold storage warehouse in New Haven, Conn.
The settlement requires a $50,000 penalty and performance of $160,000 worth of environmental projects, including trainings for other companies and emergency responders. This is one of many enforcement actions that the Region has undertaken recently to improve safety at facilities with ammonia refrigeration systems.
Recently, EPA has found poor safety conditions at some refrigeration systems, leading to many compliance orders and penalty actions under the Clean Air Act's chemical accident prevention provisions. Since August 2012, EPA has issued six compliance orders to New England facilities and two penalty cases that each settled for more than $100,000.
"It is very important for companies using hazardous chemicals to understand the risks associated with their use of such chemicals and maintain a safe operation," said regional administrator Curt Spalding. "We are optimistic that the trainings provided by this settlement will help companies manage their ammonia refrigeration systems more safely before EPA inspectors arrive or a release occurs that puts workers, the community, and emergency responders at risk."
On May 25, 2011, corroded piping and brackets gave way under the 1 Brewery Street warehouse, resulting in an ammonia release. EPA issued compliance orders to ensure safety at this cold storage warehouse and others that the companies operate in New Bedford, Mass. and East Hartford, Conn. The companies cooperated fully, spending over $100,000 to comply.
Subsequently, on Sept. 26, 2012, EPA issued a penalty order alleging that the companies had failed to:
• comply with the "General Duty Clause" of the Clean Air Act's chemical accident prevention provisions;
• comply with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act by not reporting the release in a timely fashion to the National Response Center; and
• comply with the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act by failing to submit a timely follow-up notice to emergency responders following the release.
The final settlement includes a $50,000 penalty, which reflects the companies' status as small businesses. It also, requires the companies to install a state-of-the-art ammonia detection system at its East Harford facility with detectors in more places than the current system. This system will be integrated with emergency controls to shut down refrigeration machinery upon detecting certain concentrations of ammonia. Additionally, the companies will reduce the potential for ammonia releases at its New Bedford Bridge Terminal. Finally, the companies will hire a refrigeration expert to hold three training sessions for other ammonia refrigeration system operators and emergency responders in the New Bedford, New Haven, and Hartford areas. The trainings will address compliance with the General Duty Clause, industry standards of care, running a safe system, and responding appropriately to any accidents.

Standing with elected officials and community organizers, CWA released the results of an in-person survey of 700 Brooklyn Cablevision customers, in which nearly 25 percent rated their service as poor or terrible. Only 37 percent of customers described the service as favorable.
One of the most telling numbers, according to CWA, was the 90 percent of those surveyed feel that Cablevision charges too much.
During the press conference it was announced that the survey provided a glimpse, overall, into the homes of Brookylnites who are no longer fans of the cable and internet provider. The CWA stated, "The survey also documented the poor conditions of Cablevision equipment and lines throughout the borough that pose a danger to residents and workers," read a statement by CWA.
Chris Shelton, vice president of CWA District 1, focused on problems regarding the treatment of workers. In January 2012, 282 Brooklyn technicians voted to become the first union workers at the cable company.
"After Brooklyn workers voted to become the first unionized workers in the company, Cablevision gave everybody but them raises and threatened to withhold new technology from them," Shelton claimed.
The CWA claims that since the vote Cablevision has refused to offer workers a "fair" contract. CWA claims that Cablevision gave a pay raise, between $2 to $9 an hour, to its technicians, except those in Brooklyn who voted to unionize.
"All we want is what is fair," said Cablevision technician Jerome Thompson. "To be treated with dignity and respect and to earn a living wage for our families. We're tired of waiting for a fair contract and being retaliated against for standing up for our right."
CWA is also claiming that Cablevision is punishing Brooklyn customers because of the union vote. It claims Internet service provided by Cablevision in Brooklyn is 25 percent slower than the same service in the Bronx.
"It's clear Cablevision has also left Brooklyn customers technologically behind with slower Internet speeds and dangerous plant conditions," said Shelton. "Refusing to provide workers with a fair contract they deserve and giving Brooklyn customers second-class service, all in the name of corporate greed is simply wrong."
"We need answers about quality of service Brooklyn customers are getting," said Public Advocate Bill de Blasio. "And we need Cablevision to do right by its workers and negotiate a fair contract in good faith."
"This phony report is just another example of the CWA union making false and defamatory statements about Cablevision, and attempting to mislead the public through deceptive and illegal tactics, which is why we are suing them. Given Cablevision's long history of local investments and job creation in Brooklyn and across the tri-state region, it is unfortunate that public officials would involve themselves in the CWA union's obvious and desperate campaign against our company."

Lady-Crusaders capture third place in Mulvane.
Three quarters are greater than one, that's the reality that Clearwater faced when losing the third place game against Wellington at the Mulvane Wildcat Classic on Jan. 26.
Wellington controlled the entire game until the fourth quarter rolled around. Through three quarters, Wellington outscored the Lady-Indians – a team that had beat them in December – by an average of 10-5. The Crusaders watched their double-digit lead dwindle with late push by CHS and their 12-3 showing in the fourth.
Wellington battled foul trouble the whole game. Clearwater attempted 22 free-throws, but only had seven points to show for them.
Savannah Cornejo, senior, lead the Crusaders and all scorers on Saturday with 16 points. Cornejo had 34 points during the tournament, leading the team. Following that total closely was Kaily Jenkins, senior, who had 29 after all three rounds were over. Both seniors were named to the All-Tournament Team.
The game played after Wellington's victory was between Garden Plain and the host team, Mulvane for the tournament Championship. Garden Plain won it close, 40-37.
Wellington is on the road against Rose Hill on Tuesday, Jan. 29. The varsity girls play at 6 p.m., the boys game will follow. On Feb. 1, it's homecoming in Crusader-ville, Wellington hosts Mulvane.

GRANGEVILLE – What do villains, magical beings, fighters, a meowing cat and ugly stepsisters all have in common? They all come together to make for an interactive drama.
Grangeville Centennial Library's Reader Theater will present "The Book" Saturday, Jan. 25, 2 p.m., at Blue Fox Theater. Cost is $1 per person.
"This is a great way to promote literacy and allow for a chance to dip into drama as well as enhance public speaking and presentation skills," explained librarian Becky Hosman, who wrote the play.
The play brings together two friends in a library who pull books from shelves to realize literary characters from all genres have come to life.
The group started as part of the summer reading program and includes kids from elementary, middle and high school in public, private and home-schooled settings.
"I think this is an amazing program, everyone is doing a good job and Becky is great at organizing us," said Grangeville Elementary Middle School participant Kara Sanders.
Currently, 15 kids participate in the program. This is the theater's second performance; after the Jan. 25 presentation the group will resume for the summer and additional students are invited to join. Call Hosman at 983-0951 for details.

It is so confusing, isn't it!?!
The first thing to know about foremilk/hindmilk is that the terms are fictions. Convenient and useful fictions, but fictions nonetheless. You don't make 2 different kinds of milk. You just make milk: relatively watery, high in carbohydrates, and low in fat at the beginning of a feeding, becoming gradually and progressively richer in fat as the feeding progresses and the breast empties out. There's no point at which your breast suddenly turns off the foremilk and turns on the hindmilk.
The so-called foremilk gets a lot of blame for tummy issues and making babies gassy. And it is true that the relatively larger lactose component in the milk that comes out at the beginning of a feeding can result in a baby being gassy. But aside from that there's nothing wrong with foremilk. It contains everything a baby needs, and a baby who eats nothing but foremilk will still grow and develop just fine provided that he eats enough of it. When it comes to infant growth, the QUANTITY of milk is much more important than the QUALITY of milk.
So why am I encouraging you to stay away from pumping/expressing? I mean, your baby is gassy and fussy! Why should I try to talk you out of doing something about that? The reason is that your baby is still so young. During the first 4-6 weeks or so of breastfeeding, the baby is trying to master nursing and your body is using the baby's demand to find the "right" level of milk production. And during the first few weeks, your supply is very responsive to stimulation, so it's easy for a new mom to pump herself into an oversupply problem, which can be a problem which takes weeks or months to fix! When you're having an issue with supply- whether that's too much milk or not enough- it's almost always better to embrace the natural approach (simply nurse the baby on demand) instead of the technological, over-thinking approach (pumps! bottles! technical terms!) which is second nature to modern moms.

Dealer Bassist Pete Gentil Killed in Bike Accident
Pete Gentil, bassist for the veteran U.K. metal band Dealer, was killed in a motorcycle accident on Sept. 14.
According to local reports, police believe Gentil's vehicle collided with a deer on the B4425, which is listed in the Best Biking Roads website as one of the safest and most visually appealing rides in Britain. (Tellingly, the first comment on the road's page includes the warning, "Just be on the lookout for deer between Burford and Bibury.")
The death of Gentil, who was 52, deals a sobering setback to Dealer's recent run of good fortune, which started with a well-received comeback in 2010 following a 25-year split. While the reconstituted band had yet to release any new studio material, they remained active on the touring circuit; in 2011, they booked their first tour of Russia, and in June 2013, they performed at the Phoenix Festival in Cirencester.
Even though they were never hugely commercially successful, Dealer's early-'80s material was an important component of the period's New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and a number of live recordings and reissues have surfaced over the years.

With express delivery and digital data tranfer, I don't it will be a problem for Mashiro to get a manga published in Japan even if she's in London.

She reminded me of a mentally handicapped person that does not have the faculty to understand they only know enough to do what there parents ask them to do to the best of there knowledge to make there parents happy. Shiina with her level of understanding in the beginning appears to have been held down in that aspect and made to stay reliant when she had the potential not to be that dependent.

Do I think that Shiina has a responsibility to be a painter? That she has to do that? No.
But do I think that she has a responsibility to carefully consider the impact that her talents can have for both herself and the world at large? Yes, I do.
That ought to "enter into the equation". It should be a factor in her decision. Does it need to be the decisive factor? No, but it should be a factor at least.
It is the absolute heights of selfishness and self-centered thinking for a person gifted with great talent to not even take some time to consider what their talents could mean for the world. Furthermore, a person who doesn't take the time to consider this may well end up hurting himself/herself in the long run, for reasons that wontaek has made clear before on this thread.
Shiina owes it not only to her fans, and not only to the art world, but also to herself, to really think about what she can do with her talents, and what is the best use of them. That should at least "enter into the equation" for what she chooses to do with them.

About her personality before and after coming to Sakurasou, I don't see that much of a difference myself, she sill prefers and do things her way without and iota concoern for people who might judge her (well, she doesn't have to), Even the things she did for Sorata, that was just what she decided to do like it has always been. She's keeping everything to herself and just go with it, and unlike Aoyama, who is extremely independant and fail, Mashiro on other hand is still extremely dependent and so lucky to have the Sakurasou folks.
If they showed an arguement between her amd Rita or the professors back in London about her decision in manga and they rejected it, then sure I can understand your view. But given it's Mashiro, I would assume that she just decided that to herself and left without even talk to anybody.

The thing is, Sorata may have been just thinking out loud at the end there, but if Shiina heard it, she must have felt stabbed in the back.
When Rita showed up, Shiina welcomed her warmly, but when Rita said she had come to get her back to London, Shiina shoved her out the door and closed it. They had lived together for years, Shiina knows her and this was how she reacted. There is no question of what she wants, but Sorata spends his time with Rita and does nothing to stand up for the girl that depends on him. And now he sides with the opposition completely. How can their relationship take a blow like that?
(But just the fact that we have this level of discussion shows that this anime has done at least something right.)

As for an earlier comment on how Rita is manupulative in getting back in the dorm and showing Sorata Mashiro's painting: Where was the manipulation? Sorata decided to pursue her on his own willl after a bit pondering. That Rita could predict his behaviour is, if at all, more a case about Sorata being easy to read. Nothing bad itself IMHO.
Yet his decision was also the reason for Mashiro's first "Sorata no baka" because he indirectly ignored her decision .
Next, the art museum: If Rita were so manipulating she'd be able to influence Sorata without showing him the painting. In doing so, Sorata was actually able to form a complete opinion/picture by himself before stating his opinion of what Mashiro should do. Before he only knew that Mashiro was awesome based on the internet website with the newspaper article which Jin showed him.
Sorata's comment in agreement was still understandable. He saw Mashiro's manga before and now her picture aka a real way of comparison. The latter made him completely immersed in the painting. Being confronted directly with the "real deal" does make his first reaction of agreeing with Rita nothing uncommon. That's not counting the possible incoming drama, should Mashiro have overheard him If worst comes to worst Sorata has always his friends who can talk some sense into him (well more likely Jin and Nanami as the reasonable persons of the cast).

Personally, I don't think Rita is being manipulative or wrong in any way but neither do I think someone should have to be obliged to consider the rest of the world regarding whether she wants to make use of her talents. The way I see it, if you're having to pressure someone to consider what the rest of the world wants then you've already lost. Great talent should never be pressured or forced out of someone because then the product will just be artificial. But it really depends on what you're sacrificing and what you're gaining so it's very situational. The problem with Shiina's case is that we don't know what she's thinking so we can't tell if she is actually factoring her fans or the rest of the world, or if she ever did anyway. My assumption is that the reason she doesn't want to go back to London to reach her full potential is because she values her friends more. I can't see anything wrong with that.

"The freedom is at the moment lost when people like you force others to drop their dreams and their lifes and make them do what you want them to do."
The Moment you say people should not be allowed, you are implying that people have no right to decide for themself and other people have the right to make decisuion for them.
Good that you understood. So you agree that she is a human with fundamental rights like freedom to chose to do with her life what she wants and that your statement "she should not be allowed" was in conflight with those rights.

Interesting discussion. Props to the show and to the posters.
I come down on the side of staying in Japan. It doesn't have to be permanent, but it can be as long as Mashiro likes. She is gaining friends and affection and becoming a more independent person. Let her go back to painting later, after she has gotten manga-making out of her system. It hasn't been more than a few weeks or months. Let her have at least a year or two of this richer life.
Does she have some responsibility or other? Maybe in the long run she should try to develop her best talent, but at age 16 she should work on what she wants, not box herself into what others think is best. There's no other way for her to become a full-scale person.
Is Rita "manipulating"? Yes. She is using any stratagem she can to convince Mashiro to go (working on Sorata first, in this case), and she feels she has the right to. To her understanding, Mashiro is a simpleton who needs guidance. That is exactly what she was when she arrived at Sakurasou. I think she is a bit beyond that now. I was never happier than when Mashiro shut the door.
I believe Mashiro will eventually go back to painting. But it might be four years from now. Let her grow and develop more as a human, so she will have a deeper basis for her painting. Don't force her back into being a pampered monkey existing for the enjoyment and profit of art collectors.

"Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." - John F. Kennedy
That's probably his most famous quote. It's not hard to extend it to... "Ask not what your world can do for you - ask what you can do for your world."
Isn't that a good attitude to encourage yourself and other people to have? Especially people with exceptional abilities, talents, and/or power for obvious pragmatic reasons?

Now the question is, are you willing to accept that? That Mashiro doesn't share your values, and that forcing them upon her won't lead to a better result for her, in the things she cares about? Or are you saying that her way of thinking can't be correct and that she should go back to the drawing board until her answers match those you want her to arrive to?
Of course Mashiro should stay true to her decisions, based on her values, not on those of others. It's an absolute no brainer question from where I see it.
And who is to say that she hasn't considered it, but simply arrived to the answer that her own needs take precedence? Or maybe she didn't, because perhaps it didn't matter to her in the first place - she could have been drawing for herself all along. She doesn't owe that consideration to anyone but herself. And there isn't any right or wrong answer here, either is a valid one. Of course one might not be one that Mashiro's fans would prefer, but they will just have to accept that. They have no right to demand more. That's not their decision to make, nor their place to pressure her in to making a favorable one for them. And the impression I get there is that some aren't willing to accept the answer that Mashiro wants to stay away from painting for now. That she somehow hasn't considered enough and should go back to considering some more. Until she reaches a decision that satisfies them, obviously.
So yeah, I think we can only agree to disagree here. I can only see the suggestion that Mashiro's life should be influenced by her fans to any degree as the ultimate expression of selfishness and self-entitlement, because there really isn't any higher to go on that scale than to demand of someone to structure their life for the benefit of others, even if said person doesn't want that. My sensibilities simply don't agree with that on a fundamental level. If she wants to do it, then fine. If not, then that's her choice to make without feeling persecuted by "fans".

Your position is essentially that Shiina should only care about her own wants, period (i.e. she should only care about others to the degree that she wants to care about them, so that becomes just an extension of her own wants).
That's obviously a very selfish and self-centered attitude for any person to take, in my opinion. It's decidedly cold and uncaring, completely lacking in true empathy.
My position is that Shiina's own wants are important, but that a balanced life includes considering the good you can do for others, and at least factoring that into your decisions.
That's not the polar opposite to your position. The polar opposite to your position would be arguing that Shiina should only care about others, and not care about herself at all. And I'm not arguing that.
So to be frank, my view is that your position is very extremist, while mine isn't. They're not polar opposites.

Secondly, it really is not her business, with regards to Mashiro's. Mashiro does what she does; and that is the end of it.
Thirdly, if Rita happens to be Mashiro's former boss or agent, then Mashiro's talents becomes her business. However, I am doubtful of this scenario.

"For people who are thinking that Mashiro should be allow to do whatever she wants; Let me give you have simple analogy to consider.
Say for example you created one of the greatest survival horror video game series of all time, and your loyal fans have been following you for years and years.
Then all of a sudden you decide to change that series into an action-oriented game without considering what anybody thinks- Are you telling me that your long time fans have no reason to get angry and demand that you go back to your 'roots' ? "
Where he tried tojust"
Post 41 wher I asked him if he really belives that she should not be allowed.
"You really believe that people should not be allowed to do what they want?"
Since then he avoided to answere my question and was always talking around the bush. And with every post he made he gave me the impression that he really believes it.
And I asked him a couple of times but he still avoided to answer that question till now and he finally admitted that it's up to her how she wants to live her life. End of this topic. At least for me.

Oh my freaking god thats what you were whining about all this time?!
It's a one off statement I used to get people to think about the other side of this argument! In which case the point is that actions have consequences whether you consider them fair or not! You can't just do whatever you want without thinking that there's some kind of backlash. Had you not been so caught up in your blind righteousness you might be able to objectively see that instead if taking it as some declaration against freedom crap.

Songs in the key of death
Edward Wickham on how modern tastes in funeral music owe it all to a medieval composer who went out in style
Even if it is an urban myth, it deserves retelling. A bereaved family requested Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody for their loved one's funeral service. A CD was duly played, but the organist allowed it to run on to the next track: Another One Bites the Dust. This is up there with another, perhaps mythical, occasion when an organist misinterpreted a couple's request for "the theme tune from Robin Hood" and, instead of playing Bryan Adams's (Everything I Do) I Do It for You from the Kevin Costner film, launched into this bracing lyric from another era: "Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen."
Choice of funeral music dates us just as surely as clothes or what children's programmes you remember with affection. One of the UK's current favourites, according to a recent survey, is Monty Python's Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. The well-balanced funeral or memorial service will, of course, provide an opportunity for both celebration and seriousness: there is a place for Monty Python and Monteverdi. And the best composers of funeral music can turn on a sixpence. Purcell's apparently simple Funeral Sentences masterfully moves from melancholy to hope in just a couple of chord changes.

Hey, you can still sign up for the rainbow FQ Bundle giveaway! And Manic Monday Linky Party is still open too!
In case you missed my guest post on FairyFace Designs, here's the tutorial I posted over there. I LOVE wristlets/zipper pouches of all kinds. They're easy to make and depending on what fabrics you use, can suit any outfit, from casual fun to formal. I made this one out of some fun London by the Henly Studio for Makower fabric I bought recently – I'm always a sucker for anything with London or a Union Jack on it. This wristlet ends up being about 8.5″ x 5.5″, and you could easily make it smaller or larger according to your own needs. I'm currently using mine to house all my little knitting stuff.
For this wristlet you'll need:
- {2x} 6″ x 9″ pieces of exterior fabric and {2x} 6″ x 9″ of interior fabric
- {2x} 5.5″ x 8.5″ of fusible fleece or fusible wadding
- {1x} 2″ x 12″ for the wristlet handle
- {1x} 11″ or 12″ zipper
- Optional: 1 shape for applique – I drew around a cookie cutter onto Bond-A-Web and ironed it onto the back of a piece of fabric before cutting the shape out.
- Basic sewing stuff – thread, machine, pins, etc.
Ok, I need to interject here – I forgot to trim my fusible fleece down to 5.5″ x 8.5″, so this is a case of Do What I Say, Not What I Foolishly Did. What you want to do is centre the fusible fleece onto the back of your exterior fabrics. Your exterior fabric should be 1/4″ larger than the fleece on all sides. Trust me.
If you want to applique a shape to an exterior piece, do that now by ironing it to the front and sewing around the edges to secure it.
Make the wristlet strap by first ironing it Wrong Sides Together (WST) in half, lengthways. Then open it up and carefully fold and press the edges in to meet in the middle:
Pin and edgestitch along both edges:
Set the strap aside for now. Take an interior piece RSU (right side up) and lay the zipper RSU along the top edge. Pin in a couple of places to keep everything straight. Now place an exterior piece WSU (wrong side up) and line up along the top edge with the interior piece. Pin carefully and adequately to keep it all in place, then edgestitch with about a 1/8″ or so seam allowance all the way along the top.
Press the fabrics away from the zipper, as shown below.
Now repeat that process along the other edge of the zipper. Interior right side up, then the halfway done unit (the exterior you've just pressed will be facing up), then place the other exterior WSU along the edge. Pin and carefully sew along the edge. When you've pressed it away, it'll look like this:
Pin the strap according to the instructions on the picture below, with raw edges aligned with the raw edge of the exterior. Make sure you only pin it to the exterior piece, NOT both the exterior and interior!
Now OPEN THE ZIPPER. Seriously. Do it now. Then, place the exterior pieces RST (right sides together) and the interior pieces RST and pin all around:
Start sewing with a 1/4″ seam allowance where it says Start and finish where it says Finish. Backstitch at both ends so it doesn't unravel. Trim the ends of the zipper. Then press seams open. Now you can fold it all right side out by placing your hand through that little opening.
Make sure you edgestitch that little interior opening closed so your stuff doesn't fall through!
Done! You've made a lovely little wristlet!

Hall - Henry Sharland of Governors Bay married Louise Grainger from Methven
I need some information re Henry Sharland Hall of Governors Bay . Born in 1916/17. I can not find out who is his mother and father. They lived at Ohinetahi for a while and we think he was a gardner there.
Hi mother lived in a house on the road to Governors Bay and apparently it was burnt down as she did not
have the best of reputations. I do not know her name or anything about her.
