Dinosaur exhibition at Cincinnati Museum Center
Cincinnati Museum Center welcomes some of the largest and most unusual dinosaurs to have ever roamed the planet in the U.S. premiere of Ultimate Dinosaurs: Giants from Gondwana.
Based on groundbreaking research from scientists around the world, this exhibition reveals bizarre, unusual looking dinosaurs virtually unknown to North Americans because they evolved in isolation in South America, Africa and Madagascar. Ultimate Dinosaurs features three augmented reality (AR) experiences, used in creative ways to bring these specimens to life and illustrate the story of how a dynamic Earth with drifting continents affected the evolution of dinosaurs, from a Southern perspective.
"In our mission to inspire our visitors to learn more about the world through science; regional history; and educational, engaging and meaningful experiences, it's our pleasure to bring this outstanding dinosaur exhibition to Cincinnati," said Douglass W. McDonald, president and CEO of Cincinnati Museum Center. "What excites me the most about this exhibition is the ability to create life-long learners and budding scientists, the way that only hands-on and real world experiences can."
Cincinnati has a long history of paleontological exploration and discovery which began in the 19th century. In recent years, Museum Center has undertaken numerous paleontology excavations around the world in search of everything from trilobites to dinosaurs. Our long-running Dinosaur Field School has collected many fossils of scientific importance, making our collection one of the largest and most significant collections in the Midwest. Some of Cincinnati Museum Center's collection will also be showcased in the exhibit.
"Dinosaurs are coming to Cincinnati thanks to Museum Center," said Mayor Mark Mallory. "There is always something fun to do at Museum Center, that's why I like coming here. Everybody should come check out this exhibit."
The exhibition is presented locally with the generous support of associate sponsor Frisch's Big Boy. Additional support is provided by our community partners: Cincinnati Enquirer, the Cincinnati Reds and Local 12.
"We've supported previous exhibits of dinosaurs in the past, but this new exhibit with augmented reality takes dinosaurs to a higher level," said Craig Maier, president and CEO of Frisch's Restaurants. "It is not just gadgetry, it provides an educational opportunity not seen anywhere in the United States, and we are happy to help provide a world-class experience through our sponsorship."
Highlights of the Exhibition
Surrounded by life-like environmental murals, the exhibition features real fossils and 20 full-scale skeletal casts, many of which have never been seen before in the U.S. Museum Center guests will experience Giganotosaurus, possibly the largest land predator to have ever lived, as well as the crocodile-faced spinosaur, Suchomimus, the horned meat-eater Carnotaurus, and many more.
"Ultimate Dinosaurs: Giants from Gondwana unveils specimens that most of us have never before seen," says Glenn Storrs, Ph.D., Museum Center's Withrow Farny curator of vertebrate paleontology. "These are from the prehistoric southern hemisphere continent of Gondwana, where they evolved differently than their counterparts in the northern hemisphere."
Augmented Reality
Come face-to-face with these bizarre creatures through the use of augmented reality (AR), layering virtual experiences over real environments in the exhibition. This is the first time Cincinnati Museum Center is using AR technology in an exhibition setting – bringing these giants to life and encouraging visitors to look at them from a new perspective. Experience a fearsome face-off between carnivores Giganotosaurus and T. rex , enhanced by AR iPad technology, where you can decide for yourself which one is the largest meat-eating dinosaur of all time, while learning about key differences between the northern and southern worlds in the twilight of the age of dinosaurs.
Exhibition Background
Ultimate Dinosaurs: Giants from Gondwana tells the story of how continental drift affected the evolution of dinosaurs on the dynamic Earth during the Mesozoic, 250 – 65 million years ago. When dinosaurs first appeared 250 million years ago, the continents of the Earth were assembled into the giant supercontinent, Pangaea. As Pangaea divided first into Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south, and later into the many continents of today, dinosaurs were passengers on these moving continents. An amazing diversity of dinosaurs evolved on each of these separate lands. Their imposed geographic isolation helped promote their evolution into an incredible array of bizarre forms that dominated wherever they lived.
Produced and circulated by the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Ultimate Dinosaurs offers an unforgettable experience for all ages. Children can follow in the footsteps of the paleontologists who unearthed these strange creatures. Hands-on activities, including touchable bronze cats and interactive education pods, will put everything about Southern dinosaurs at your fingertips. A wide range of dinosaur-inspired programming will accompany the exhibition.
Ticket Information
Tickets are $15 for adults, $11 for children ages 3-12 and $13 for seniors ages 60+. Museum Center Members pay a one time discounted admission fee of $9 for adults and $7 for children and receive free unlimited repeat visits to the exhibition.

Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia OMNIMAX Film Premiere
Also opening June 13 for the first time in Cincinnati, don't miss Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia in our OMNIMAX® Theater. It's the perfect companion to the Ultimate Dinosaurs exhibit. Combining the exhibit and OMNIMAX film is the closest thing to actually being in the presence of these extraordinary creatures!
Following Rodolfo Coria, a world-renowned Argentinean paleontologist, we visit sites of major dinosaur discoveries in the Patagonia region of South America and travel back in time to see these amazing beasts come to life. Experience the world of Giganotosaurus also seen in the exhibit, and the Argentinosaurus , possibly the largest dinosaur to have ever lived. The action is intense and the landscape is out of this world. From space, we have the perfect vantage point to witness the movement of the tectonic plates, and the arrival of a comet that may have sealed the fate of the dinosaurs.
These massive prehistoric beasts are best viewed on our giant five-story screen! Visit www.cincymuseum.org for tickets and show times.

Thousands of Israeli police blocked approaches to Gaza to keep back Jewish protesters sworn to stopping the first removal of settlements this week from land Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East war.
The threat of disruptions to the pullout has grown with a recent influx of some 4000 ultranationalist Jews into Gaza settlements to reinforce hardliners among the 8500 inhabitants vowing to resist removal.
[. . .]
Settlers refusing to leave have decided to lock entry gates of their enclaves to army officers due to come on Monday to urge inhabitants to go voluntarily or be ejected by squads of unarmed troops starting on Wednesday, Israeli media said.
By rare agreement with Israel, 7500 Palestinian security men in Gaza began moving into position on the outskirts of the fortified settlements to ward off possible efforts by Palestinian resistance factions to shoot at departing settlers.
The security men, expected to station themselves as close as 150m from Israeli troops, would also prevent Palestinians going into empty settlements to seize property.
The above is from "Forces deployed as Gaza pullout starts" (Aljazeera) and Kara e-mailed to note it. This is our Sunday feature of what's being reported outside the US mainstream media and we're focusing on many areas here. (Iraq will be the focus of another entry.)
Ronald e-mails to note Amiram Barkat "Police allow pullout foes to hold rally opposite PM's office" (Haaretz):
Jerusalem District commander Ilan Franco on Sunday granted the Yesha Council of settlements permission to hold a demonstration opposite Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's office early Monday. The protest is a last-minute effort to pressure cabinet ministers, who are expected to approve the evacuation of Gush Katif settlements on Monday morning.
The protest is set to begin Monday 12 A.M. and will continue throughout the day, as the government votes on the second phase of the evacuation of Gush Katif settlements. Police granted disengagement opponents the right to protest on the following conditions: The protest can start at midnight and must end by 5 P.M. Monday; Rupin Street in Jerusalem, which leads to the government building campus, will be closed to traffic; no more than 20,000 protesters can participate in the demonstration; the protest cannot include a procession; and protesters cannot leave the site of the demonstration to block traffic.
Marcus e-mails to note Chris McGreal's "Gaza settlers defy Sharon evacuation deadline" (The Guardian):
A combined force of about 50,000 troops and police is to be deployed over the coming days, in Israel's largest military operation outside of a war. They will remove those settlers who refuse to leave of their own accord. The army says it hopes to complete the clearing of 21 settlements in the Gaza Strip and four in the northern West Bank within three weeks.
The prime minister, Ariel Sharon, has described the abandonment of settlements that have been at the heart of Israel's expansionist policies since the occupation began in 1967 as a "painful sacrifice" for peace.
But while the move is generally recognised as historic, its intent is disputed. The Palestinians and some of Mr Sharon's leftwing critics say he plans to use the removal of about 8,000 settlers as a means to entrench Israeli control over much larger settlements that are home to about 400,000 Jews in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Mr Sharon is scheduled to address the nation this evening to call on settlers to abide by the law and leave Gaza voluntarily, and for the rest of the country to maintain national unity despite bitter denunciations by opponents of "disengagement" who accuse the prime minister of withdrawing "under fire" from Palestinian attacks. The government declared a nationwide state of alert yesterday for the duration of the pullout operation.
Denver e-mails to note Ushani Agalawatta's "Gaza Will Be 'Vacated But Still Occupied'" (IPS):
A growing number of Palestinians are beginning to believe that Israeli disengagement from the Gaza Strip will not mean the end of occupation.
"The Gaza Strip will still be occupied territory under international law," says Renad Qubbaj of the Palestinian NGO Network based in Ramallah in the West Bank. "After implementation of the disengagement plan, the Israeli army will remain in effective control of all border crossings." The lives of about 1.4 million Palestinians living in the Gaza strip hang in the balance as Israel moves ahead with plans for disengagement. The Gaza strip of land lies to the west of Israel along the Mediterranean Sea.
Officials on both sides have expressed the hope that the disengagement plan will move Palestinian and Israeli people closer to peace. Israel is due to withdraw its settlements from the Gaza Strip Aug. 17. The disengagement plan calls for the evacuation of all Israeli towns and villages and military forces within the Gaza Strip. Israel says there will be no more grounds then for Palestinians and the international community to claim that the Gaza Strip is occupied territory. But Jaber Wishah, deputy director of the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) is not optimistic.
"Up till now we don't know the main features of the plan to pull out of Gaza," he told IPS. "Our analysis shows that the plan is not built on international law or international humanitarian law, and as such there will be no change in Gaza."
Ronald also notes Reuters' "Italians, Jews protest ex-Nazi officer's supervised holiday" (Haaretz):
Outraged Italians and international Jewish groups have stepped up protests against a state-supervised lakeside holiday for a former Nazi SS officer, sentenced to life in prison for his part in a 1944 massacre.
Former SS Captain Erich Priebke was extradited from Argentina and convicted in 1998 for the slaughter of 335 Italian men and boys at the Ardeatine Caves south of Rome.He was released into house arrest a year later because of his advanced age and fading health.
But this week, a Rome-based judge approved the temporary transfer of 92-year-old Priebke to a friend's villa in Cardana di Besozzo on the shores of Lake Maggiore, in northern Italy, under police surveillance.
Opposition politicians and residents of the town, population 8,000, demanded an end to the "scandalous vacation" in flyers posted around town, but the regional president said his hands were tied because the transfer was court approved.
Polly e-mails to note Laura Sandy's "Wanted: more honesty, less denial" (openDemocracy):
The need for a new approach, and the dangers of self-satisfaction, were particularly illustrated to me at a London meeting jointly hosted by openDemocracy and Q-News on the evening of 21 July. A wide cross-section of the British Muslim community, mainly young and British-born, from a wide range of organisations was present.
When politicians state that Britain's Muslim community must "get the British project", "buy into our values", or "embrace our norms", I wish they had been at this meeting too (fortunately, they can read the transcript on openDemocracy). The young Muslims present, with very few exceptions, more than shared understanding of and "bought into" what is good about Britain. Many were far more articulate and effective in championing freedom of speech, tolerance, respectful coexistence and democratic values than such politicians and the constituencies they seek to appeal to. In short, they "get" the "British project" in its entirety, and -- perhaps precisely because they have links to and knowledge of other regions and methods of government -- they value Britain's positive qualities even more.
So what, exactly, is Britain's problem? Such moderate, mainstream Muslims are at the heart of their community, and working to promote greater political and societal involvement from its members. Yet they feel let down -- their arguments easily rebuffed, their British values questioned. Why? Because their, our, government is not living up to the values -- of transparency, justice, and civilised behaviour -- that these young people want to endorse.
In this, they have much in common with many other British citizens who feel that the country's leaders are not fully coming clean with us. While the two Blairs (Tony, the prime minister, and Ian, commissioner of the London police) call upon their Muslim counterparts to address problems within their community, the British establishment itself should address four areas where it may be failing to uphold the values it charges the Muslim community with ignoring.
Doug e-mails to note Ashley Seager's "How high can the oil price go? And when will it start to hit us where it hurts?" (The Guardian):
How high can it go and when will it start to hurt? This may sound like something the actress should ask the bishop but the question is, in fact, about oil. Black gold, as it is also known, smashed through the $66 a barrel level last week, its highest ever, and has risen 10% this month alone.
It is up more than 100% since the spring of last year, when prices were bobbling around the $30 a barrel level until the latest run-up began and carried on, and on, to where we are now.
Bizarrely, though, the world economy appears to have come through relatively unscathed, so far at least. The global downturns that followed the oil shocks of 1974, following the Yom Kippur war in 1973, and the Iranian revolution of 1979, are recorded in all the economic textbooks. One could be forgiven for deducing that global recessions follow oil shocks as night follows day.
[. . .]
Oil impacts on an economy in two ways: on prices and on activity. Inflation can be pushed up easily by oil. The most obvious way is through prices at the pump but the other way is that companies pass on any cost rises they suffer to customers in the form of higher prices.
Lori e-mails to note "Poll Shows Turks Dislike al-Qaeda, But Blame Bush for Terror" (originally in Turkish Daily Sabah but via Watching America):
U.S. President George W. Bush is shown as the number one guilty party for terrorism, at 54%. Twenty-two percent indicated Sharon, 17% indicated al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and 4% indicated British Prime Minister Tony Blair as being most responsible.
Sixty-six percent of participants blamed U.S. Middle East policy as the cause of global terrorism, yet 20 percent pointed to the inequality in income distribution and economic problems as the prime cause for terror.
Only four percent of the Turkish public links terror with religion.
Craig e-mails to note Andreas Lorenz's "The Gamblers of Manila" (Germany's der Speigel) :
Jueteng is an important factor in local economies. In Candelaria alone, the lottery provides a small income to more than a thousand people, who go from door to door collecting bets. The take for each game at the water tower amounts to about 300,000 Pesos (approximately €4,300). The "cabos," or money collectors, are entitled to three percent of each bet, as well as ten percent of the proceeds for each winning number they sell.But the true beneficiaries of the game are police officials and politicians who tolerate the outlawed gambling operations.
"We spend a quarter of our proceeds on protection payoffs," says one lottery manager. "Most of the money stays in town, but the rest of it reaches Manila through middlemen."
The local town hall has even hired an agent who discreetly checks to make sure everyone gets his share.
Even President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's husband has allegedly padded his pockets with Jueteng payoffs, as has one of her sons and her brother-in-law. The lottery has grown into a raging scandal that threatens to bring down the government. A special parliamentary committee is now investigating the practice -- an illegal business, but one in which everyone seems to be involved.
The lottery for the poor already forced one president out of office in 2001 when Joseph Estrada, a popular ex-actor, was charged with corruption. He now lives under house arrest in a luxury villa.
At the time, Arroyo, 58, drove the former thespian out of office in a popular movement supported by the military, the church and the business community. But now Arroyo is having problems of her own. She has exiled her husband, José Miguel, to the United States so that he "cannot throw a shadow over my presidency," as she announced publicly, fighting back tears -- or, say the smirking gamblers of Candelaria, "so that he can count his money in peace." Jueteng and a flashy husband are not Arroyo's only problems. Her opponents claim that her 2004 presidential election was tarnished by fraud. According to the most recent accusations, she bribed election supervisors with money. Allan Paguia, an attorney, launched the scandal by releasing tapes on which Arroyo discusses the election results with a member of the election commission shortly after the polls closed in 2004.
Bree e-mails to note "Security beefed up in Kabul" (Norway's Aftenposten)
New security measures are being taken after the Norwegian embassy in Afghanistan was branded an "easy target" for terrorists.
Jan Erik Leikvang, Norway's ambassador to Afghanistan, told Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) Thursday that the embassy in Kabul is an "easy target" for terrorists, compared to other embassies. A rocket attack last month took place just 500 meters from the embassy building.
James e-mails to note Khozem Merchant's "Sri Lanka blames rebels for murder of minister"
(England's Financial Times):
Chandrika Kumaratunga, Sri Lanka's president, on Sunday night blamed outlawed Tamil terrorists for the murder of Lakshman Kadirgamar, the country's foreign minister who was gunned down after a late night swim at his home on Friday.
Mrs Kumaratunga said investigations into the assassination had revealed "the clear responsibility of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)", which has waged a two-decade military struggle for a separate Tamil state in the north of Sri Lanka.
The LTTE, which accepted a Norwegian brokered ceasefire with the Sri Lankan government in 2002, had denied involvement in the killing. But "their denial contradicts the facts", Mrs Kumaratunga said in a speech.
Olive e-mails to note (same topic as James) "Clinton condemns Sri Lankan FM's assassination" (Australia's ABC):
Former US president Bill Clinton, the United Nations' special envoy for tsunami recovery, has condemned the assassination of Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar.
"I am shocked and personally saddened by the assassination of Sri Lanka's Foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar in Colombo," Mr Clinton, who has visited tsunami-hit Sri Lanka for his UN work, said.
"I condemn this brutal and criminal act, and I offer my deepest condolences to the family of the Foreign Minister and to the people of Sri Lanka."
And, via ABC's Australia, we'll note Simi Chakrabarti and AFP's "Tamil Tigers deny killing Sri Lankan minister:"
Skip e-mailed to note "US paid for Japanese human germ warfare data" (Kyodo, Australia's ABC):
Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger rebels have denied involvement in the assassination of Foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar and said the Government must look "inwards" to get at the killers.
The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) said in a statement that forces within the Government were trying to sabotage a Norwegian-arranged truce by resorting to violence and blaming them.
The United States gave money and other benefits to former members of a Japanese germ warfare unit two years after the end of World War II to obtain data on human experiments the unit conducted in China.
The Imperial Japanese Army established Unit 731 in 1936 to develop biological weapons using plague, anthrax and other bacteria.
Headquartered in the suburbs of Harbin in China's Heilongjiang Province, the unit conducted germ warfare in various places in China and used Chinese, Russians and others as subjects in human experiments.
The US-led allied powers that occupied Japan offered to waive war crime charges at the war tribunal for officers of Unit 731 set up by the Imperial Japanese Army in exchange for experiment data.
But two declassified US Government documents reveal Washington's eagerness to obtain such data extended to providing monetary rewards, despite the awful nature of Unit 731's activities, in an apparent attempt to beat the Soviet Union in the arms development race.

SharePoint 2010 Custom Action Error on Call to ASPX Application Page – Potential IE8 Problem !!!
I had an unusual error with a slight twist – I had developed a Custom Action, based on right-click of the ECB menu for an item. Selecting this option would call an ASPX application page. The way I had designed this overall Custom Action was as follows:-
1) Sandboxed solution for the custom action, which calls an ASPX application page. This is because I did not want the custom action to be farm level as the right-click action only applies to a specific list within a site collection.
2) A farm level solution to deploy the application page – the application page actually implements functionality to put some of the item level information passed through the query string that calls the page, into a single database table, where the connection string is stored within a SharePoint 2010 Secure Store area. I made sure that all users within the domain could access the required connection string from the secure store.
The overall functionality worked fine, but kept failing on the users machine. The error was a straight and simple SharePoint 2010 error with some correlation id, which after looking into showed a Null Reference error. The initial assumption I made was that the code for the page was never getting executed on the users machine, and therefore it had to be a security error. After further investigation I had discovered that I could not get the page to execute it's code even when signing on as myself on the users machine. The difference between the users machine and my machine was that I was accessing the page successfully from the custom action, through using IE9 , the user on the other-hand was using IE8. Therefore the issue with the Null reference was most likely code. The specific code that was failing turned out to be the following:-
if (!Page.IsPostBack){
string prevPage = = Page.Request.UrlReferrer.ToString();
It turns out that IE8, does not pass the calling URL to the application page when someone tries to access the page by a right-click on the ECB Menu, therefore the Request.UrlReferrer was returning a NULL value, which was causing the page to crash out. So just like Microsoft Dynamics CRM, it is important to understand and remember that browsers can exhibit different behaviours for different applications.
Getting back to my problem – I really needed to get the value of the URL to the calling page, as I wanted to execute the code in the application page and return the user back to the original page showing the list items. The answer in the end is to construct a string with the following variables that should be available to you:-
string prevPage = Web.Url + "/Lists/{your list name with space characters replaced with %20}/AllItems.aspx"
the final solution resolved the problem, and so the ECB menu option works in both IE8, and IE9. Please note I did not have time to find the reason why the URL was not passed in IE8, other than the fact that it has something to do with security. Hope this helps someone out there.

With the start of each new year, many of us take an inventory of what we've accomplished in the past year, contemplate where we'd like to go this year, and then set some goals for ourselves. It's a tradition that has been around for at least as long as I've been alive...
The problem is that, often, we start the year out really great, but by March we've gotten off track, and from then on we don't even look at our goals again until December. But, is there a better way? Yes, I believe there is.
This year, set your goals, but make at least some of them into what Jack Canfield has labeled "Daily Disciplines." Daily disciplines sounds serious, it's a way to make new habits that will help us to stay on track. For instance, if one of your goals is to work out more, and maybe another goal is to keep the dishes from piling up in the sink, then make a new daily habit of getting up ten minutes earlier. Ten minutes is not that much - you can do that! Then, every day, you will have that ten treasured minutes to either wash the dishes in the sink, or choose a ten minute yoga routine, or do some push-ups, or... Just think of the possibilities! Ten minutes doesn't seem like much, but it can make a big difference! I can tell you from personal experience that you'll feel better when you see the dishes done or when you know that you've done at least ten minutes of exercise. Every new habit must start with small steps and these ten minutes are a great start.
Another good daily discipline is to save 3-5 minutes at the end of the day, right before bed, to check in with how your day went. Keep a notebook and pen by your bed stand and just before you go to bed write down something you did that was a genuine act of kindness, another accomplishment that you are proud of, something good that you did which helps you meet the goals you set for yourself, and two more items (5 total) that you are proud of, or that make you feel good about yourself. This will also put you in the right state of mind to get a better night's sleep!
I also find that setting up a reward for yourself for having done your daily disciplines helps to keep the momentum going through the year. Some rewards that I have used include taking a long epsom salts bath at the end of a week where I kept my daily disciplines every day. Another is getting a massage or reflexology treatment, or something else I consider special, if I've kept my daily disciplines going for 60 days. Use your imagination and choose some rewards for yourself that will be enticing enough to keep you going!
In the meantime, here is a five minute series of exercises that gets the heart pumping and works muscles you didn't know you had! Repeat twice for a ten minute routine!
Best of Health,

What a great trip!
MWH Director Samite Mulondo, along with Ithaca-based musician Nate Silas Richardson spent two weeks in August visiting communities, centers and people in Uganda and Kenya. We are so grateful for the rich experience, opportunity to work with teachers and children, and develop new partnerships for the future.
Our first stop was at Hope North in northern Uganda, where we worked with about 25 youth, many who are former child soldiers. We also visited with children at Hope for Humans in Gulu, where MWH has worked before to provide music therapy to children affected by Nodding Syndrome, a neurological disease that produces seizures and impedes growth. The children are very weak, often malnourished when they arrive, but after 3 to 4 months of nurturing, begin playing, running and beginning to learn. After that, music therapy programs help them further. Samite and Nate, along with Dr. Karen Wacks, of the Berklee College of Music, worked with the program leaders on music therapy techniques they could keep using after we left.
From there, we visited and worked with people at Health Care Alliance in Lira and Brain Tree Primary School, and then in Kenya we visited Shangilia orphanage and The Nest Home. It was a very full two weeks, very rich in experience and we continue to be grateful to our donors who made it possible.
Dr. Bill Thomas, whose wide-ranging work explores the terrain of human aging, interviewed Nate Richardson for his podcast, the Ask Dr. Bill show. You can hear the experience in Nate's words here, told in two parts, Episode 7 and Episode 8.
People in caring environments do better, encounter less suffering from their disabilities than those without care, nurturing and supportive experiences like music. We worked with hundreds of people across this two week span, many individually and others in groups. We were thanked and told, repeatedly, how helpful the programming and teachings will be for future groups, in addition to the impacts we saw during the sessions. We learned much from the people we met, and look forward to using the exeperiences inform our work with seniors, children and refugees here in the U.S. in the months to come.

Voyager Survival Tip
A Voyager:
An explorer of alternate realities and temporal references. Originating from one of the select few "golden points" of existence, these voyagers travel to alternate planes of reality purely for the sake of exploration, as the information they learn may or may not be useful in their home reality. Their trips in time almost always seem to have been fated, or destined, to have occurred, and are overseen by the twelve Time Masters, who are charged with their training, debriefing and assignments.
Now as a Voyager, you know that you can't always take everything you need with you, and you need to be as ready as possible for whatever situation you encounter. So your greatest tool is your instinct and training. You can't always rely on what you know, because it may not pertain to where you are currently visiting.
So here are six quick tips that you should know if you suddenly find yourself thrown into a different reality.
Tip #1: Always have a few stories, and a joke or two, ready. Many a Voyager has survived by distracting whoever, or whatever, was about to kill him or her.
Tip #2: Never refuse what is food or drink is offered to you. Unless it will obviously kill you (such as hydrochloric acid), or the food in question asks you not to eat it. If you absolutely cannot eat the food in question, either pretend to eat, or claim to have a n upset stomach.
NOTE: Keep in mind that some beings know you are a Voyager, and will attempt to feed you inedible objects. As was the case with the Gormesh of Plaxis VIII ref. 555, who will usually try to serve you dirt and urine to laugh at you.
Tip #3: As soon as you "land", try to find a pen. You might need it to take notes.
Tip #4: Always be polite. Make sure to say "please" and "thank you". In some cases, forgetting to say "excuse me" is cause enough to get stabbed.
Tip #5: When in doubt, wear dark shoes. Sometimes black sneakers can pass for shoes.
Tip #6: Always root for the home team. If you accidentally chose the unpopular team, make sure to say "Yeah, so? How about loser buys the next round?"

2017 Sancerre Blanc, Domaine Thierry Merlin-Cherrier
White | Drink now | Domaine Thierry Merlin-Cherrier | Code: 51753 | 2017 | France > Loire > Central Vineyards > Sancerre | Sauvignon Blanc | Medium Bodied, Dry | 12.5 % alcohol
Thierry bottled his '17 a little later than usual – in December '18 – but this remains tightly wound, and may take a year or two to reach its apogee. For the time being, on the nose, varietal character plays second fiddle to the beguiling "marine" aromas we associate, primarily, with Chablis – just a (lime)stone's throw away. A wine of real class and complexity, which unfurls regally in the glass, and will continue to do so in the bottle over the next five years. Drink now to 2024.

The Producer
Sophie and Thierry Merlin-Cherrier cultivate 13 hectares of prime location Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir in and around the commune of Bué in Sancerre.They bottle two white cuvées, a generic blend and, since 1999, a separate bottling from Le Chêne Marchand.
Le Chêne Marchand is a single gentle south facing site situated between Bué and Crézancy and is recognised as one of the potential 'Grand Cru' vineyards of the appellation – should the Berrichon ever take this route. The wines are aged on their lees in a single concrete tank for between 15 and 18 months, and the request to bottle a quantity in magnum signifies our belief in the wines ability to age and mature further.
The estate applies the principles of la lutte raisonée.
Other wines by this producer:
The Grape
An important white grape in Bordeaux and the Loire Valley that has now found fame in New Zealand and now Chile. It thrives on the gravelly soils of Bordeaux and is blended with Sémillon to produce fresh, dry, crisp Bordeaux Blancs, as well as more prestigious Cru Classé White Graves.
It is also blended with Sémillon, though in lower proportions, to produce the great sweet wines of Sauternes. It performs well in the Loire Valley and particularly on the well-drained chalky soils found in Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, where it produces bone dry, highly aromatic, racy wines, with grassy and sometimes smoky, gunflint-like nuances.
In New Zealand, Cloudy Bay in the 1980s began producing stunning Sauvignon Blanc wines with extraordinarily intense nettly, gooseberry, and asparagus fruit, that set Marlborough firmly on the world wine map. Today many producers are rivalling Cloudy Bay in terms of quality and Sauvignon Blanc is now New Zealand`s trademark grape.
It is now grown very successfully in Chile producing wines that are almost halfway between the Loire and New Zealand in terms of fruit character. After several false starts, many South African producers are now producing very good quality, rounded fruit-driven Sauvignon Blancs.
The Region
Sancerre is a famous white Sauvignon Blancanc appellation located on the left bank of the Loire, across from Pouilly-Fumé.
While Pouilly-Fumé's vineyards are tightly clustered and homogeneous, Sancerre's 14 communes (including the great villages of Chavignol, Bué, Verdigny, Amigny and Ménétréol) are widely dispersed, covering nearly 3,000 hectares over vertiginous valleys at up to 350 metres above sea level, and three distinct soil types: silex, a white flint found around Sancerre and Ménétréol in particular, giving perfume and a fine structure; terres blanches, a calcareous clay soil that whitens as it dries (widely distributed), delivering a full, fruity richness; and caillottes, a Portlandian soil brimming with large limestones imparting both power and verve – as found in Sancerre, Chavignol and Bué.
A fourth soil type, griottes, tightly-packed with small limestones, has also been identified – as found near the village of Vosges. Kimmeridgean clay crops up less consistently than in Pouilly-Fumé and since most Sancerre, bar the single-vineyard wines, are a blend of soils the result is a richer, fuller and fleshier Sauvignon Blanc.
As with Pouilly-Fumé, an increasing number of (single-vineyard) wines are being raised in French oak, mostly 500-litre and demi-muids; little surprise in light of naturally higher alcohol levels due to global warming. Sancerre Rouge is also made from Pinot Noir, the quality of which is often compromised by bleeding some of the juice to make rosé – Vincent Pinard is a master nonetheless.

Visiting from Ohio, I got a call about a beach portrait session from Jill who wanted portraits on Sunset Beach on Treasure Island Florida of all of her family, which included 8 kids and 12 people total! As you can see, all the kids were thankfully about the same age and they all got along so it was much easier than I thought to get all 8 kids in multiple shots over our nearly 90-minutues of actual shooting time.
The family wanted the kids to be the focus of the shoot, so most shots only featured the children. The kids themselves had plenty of ideas for shots and were willing to get down on the sand, which meant I also had to get on the sand to get to their eye level for the above shot.
He and I were both thinking the same thing when I suggested he give his sister a piggy-back ride for their portrait with the tall sea grass as a background.
When mom is willing to get on the sand and let her kids sandwich her, that is making a sacrifice for the photograph! I was on the sand too and was glad to have a chance to try this more dynamic beach pose.
My idea for this shot of a father with his three daughters I wanted to show all the girls surrounding their dad and being as close to him as possible. Dad was set first as the anchor of the group and then each daughter wedged in next to him.

Why a Nikonos?
I had to wrestle with myself on this new camera for underwater use. I was either going to get a GoPro or a Nikonos. I decided to go with Nikonos because of my love for film photography. and the limitations you have to work with to actively think up creative solutions. Also, if you look through everything I've ever shot in the ocean and compared my digital photos to my film photos, it's no contest. I also took into account that the Nikonos's resale value remains consistent whereas GoPro values go down with each generation. Here are some photos from my first roll:
*disclaimer: I didn't rewind the film correctly so I accidentally exposed my film when I opened up the back of the camera.

I have received a total of three E-mails from this person and I actually saw three identical E-mails posted here on this site and they were exactly the same, word-for-word.
Her address was exactly the same and employer, family life, previous relationships, etc.
She has sent me a total of 6-images of herself (supposedly) with four of them being taken indoors without any imaging refinement, one is of her lying in bed under the covers, one of her standing while holding a stuffed toy, one of her sitting a chair while barefoot and the other of her standing by a door holding drapes in one hand and there are two of her outdoors: one in the falling snow and one looking at her through a window from the outside with strands of Christmas lights hanging in front of her. I refined them all and she is a very lovely lady with very long red hair, blue and full lips. All pictures were taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II with the indoor pictures taken 1/09/2014 and the outdoor photos taken 12/21/2013.
As of yet, she has not tried to get any money from me.

I received a mail saying that she had gotten my name from a dating site. I wrote back and asked her what site (I have never been on one), and she told me that her computer had crashed and that she did not remember what site. She sent a photo so i decided to play along just to see where it would take me. First letter came 09/23/2014 and last came 11/01/2014.She did not answer any direct questions. I told her that I thought that she was mixed up because I am too old for her, but she said that she needed an older man because young men only want to party and all Russian men are drunks who beat their women. She had a high paying job in an auto salon. She soon fell in love with me and was making plans to come to me. She went to Moscow to make arrangements and everything was set, until the day before she was to leave. Then she found out that she had to have a round trip ticket to insure that she would not stay with me. However, she had spent all of her money on her papers and needed $600.00 from me to buy the ticket. I told her that I would pay for her whole ticket and send me her info. She could not do that because she had to buy the ticket through this agency. She never did tell me the name. I did not answer her anymore.

Report N9 (added on February, 16, 2015)
Mari or Mariya as she signed her name originated contact with me after seeing my name on an adult website. I think it was OK Cupid, but I might be wrong.
She sent me letters virtually identical to the ones posted on your website. I had seen similar letters from other Russian scammers in the past so I was pretty sure it was a scam from the start. I immediately told her I was in love with the idea of her being interested in a 68 year old man and that I was rich and famous and would love for her to visit me in Las Vegas as soon as possible. I communicated with her for about a week before I told her that I was an author who writes books about prostitution and scams. I also told her the truth that I spent ten years in prison for securities fraud and was only recently released. I told her I would like to write a novel about her called From eRussia With Love. I actually am an author and have written true story documentaries about prostitution in Las Vegas, Costa Rica and other countries that I have visited. I sent her a copy today of two of my books to see if she would tell me her true story. I am waiting for a reply. Then I looked her up on your website and confirmed she was already in your data base.
She may not respond because I sent her a link to your website and asked her what she had to lose since her scam was already exposed and there are hundreds of other scammers just like her. I asked her if she would rather earn money legitimately by being a co-author of an ebook exposing this type of scam, or continue scamming people and possibly be arrested for fraud.
I have a number of other emails from at least 4 other scammers, but I didn't see their photos on your site and wanted to get a month's free membership so I could search their names and other info. The first one corresponded with me for weeks and then asked for Western Union for round trip ticket after she claimed she had started her trip to Las Vegas and was stranded in Moscow. Lots of details and documents and photos.

It didn't take more than two or three minutes into the latest edition of SmackDown Live to ask ourselves the same question Stone Cold Steve Austin had so many times in his career.
What? As in what is going on with the head honchos of Tuesday night's show?
Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan made their way to the ring in the opening promo to join AJ Styles, where the discussion turned to Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and the ongoing passive-aggressive back and forth going on between Bryan and McMahon bubbled beneath the surface. To date, the pair has swung from hot to cold, and friendly to angry without much sense of direction -- and it's given us little sense of where this storyline between all of them is going.
On Tuesday, Styles announced to the Orlando audience that as part of his New Year's resolution, he was going to take out Zayn in the main event. A low-bar goal if Styles were to win, but needless to say, this was going to be anything resembling a straight mano-a-mano matchup no matter what the outcome would be at night's end. You knew Owens was going to be ringside and, of course, so was McMahon. Oh heck, might as well have Bryan join the circus, too.
So what was the latest fiasco going to produce and, more importantly, what advancements would come from the latest chapter in a narrative that seems to produce more bluster and confusion by the week?
What has been the point of Shane O'Mac and Bryan constantly hopscotching on the main-event storylines, aside from the sheer fact their presence garners a lot of Twitter attention and the potential of a big-time payoff, if this tangled web is eventually unraveled into something noteworthy. Yes, it's true a more conventional Styles versus Owens or Zayn battle wouldn't register the same without the added commotion, but we're weeks into the divisive authority angle without any idea how this is going to play out.
Does Bryan really have a sense of loyalty to the villains? Is he tired of McMahon's leadership, or is he perhaps on a power trip of his own? Is he building a false sense of earnestness with Owens and Zayn, only to bamboozle them and all of us down the road, possibly at the Royal Rumble?
On Tuesday, the two bosses and Owens all played a role in the main event. A decent, but certainly not spectacular, match devolved into chaos when McMahon, after a handful of shenanigans, demanded KO leave the ringside area, only for Bryan to get on the mic and counter that Shane should leave, too. Amid the growling, Zayn landed a Helluva Kick on Styles to win the match, leaving AJ a loser for the second straight week. Styles then made his way on to the mic, berating everyone else at the ring, including the inability of Owens and Zayn to do anything on their own and the adolescent behavior of the SmackDown leaders.
#WWEChampion @AJStylesOrg's words may have just come back to haunt him... #SDLive pic.twitter.com/3stUvx5Qud
- WWE (@WWE) January 3, 2018
Bryan's retort: You're right, AJ. KO and Zayn can't do anything without the other more than 10 feet away, so at the Royal Rumble, you've got both of them -- in a handicap match for the WWE championship. Which begs the question: Who gets the title if Owens and Zayn win, but we'll save that query for a different day.
For Styles, it was not just a New Year's resolution gone bad, but a foreboding sign that more bad luck is coming his way. In the past two weeks, the WWE champ has been treated more like a sacrificial lamb than the face of SmackDown, which is OK for now. But eventually the ongoing muddle needs to evolve into a more streamlined path, or better, come to an end as abruptly as a Stone Cold Stunner.
Hits and misses
Speaking of confusion and chaos, Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin appeared to win the SmackDown tag team titles, except the referee erroneously made a three-count on the wrong Uso (and Gable wasn't the legal man in the match to boot). So back to the ring the four men went, only to see The Usos win after a high-flying smash from Jey Uso to close it out. Despite the shenanigans, Benjamin and Gable looked like legit contenders to walk away with the belts at some point early in 2018.
The @WWEUsos were quick to capitalize on the confusion of this match, and prove why @WWEGable and @Sheltyb803 are in fact NOT the new #SDLive #TagTeamChampions! pic.twitter.com/yd8tn1Zwu7
- WWE (@WWE) January 3, 2018
OK, we get it, The Bludgeon Brothers are the real deal, but why does Breezango continue to look like fools at Luke Harper and Erick Rowan's hands? Such a waste of potential for a talented, popular team that easily could have carried SmackDown gold. The Ascension eventually came to the ring, only to get manhandled by the Bludgeon brothers themselves. Wouldn't it have made more sense if they were the original victims and Breezango came down to save the day? Just sayin'.
Aiden English is quickly becoming one of the most popular figures on the show, thanks to his Rusev Day serenades. Like Breezango, it's too bad the creative team treats him more like an irreverent afterthought when it comes to in-ring results rather than someone who could possibly carry around some gold. Those aspirations came to an end Tuesday, when English fell to Xavier Woods in a fun United States tournament first round match.
The Welcoming Committee is officially back together. Sigh. It's almost as if Natalya didn't split on her own for months to carry the women's championship. Needless to say, their existence appears to be little more than a stepping stone for the Riott Squad, who won handily Tuesday night. Here's hoping Natalya and, especially, Carmella, don't lose whatever momentum they had in recent months.
Great to see Becky Lynch, who was out for more than a month, back in action. Although she hasn't shined on SmackDown for quite some time, she has the energy and charisma to carry the women's division along with Charlotte -- and the reaction she got proved that absence can make the heart grow fonder. Can anyone else see a Becky-Ruby Riott squabble in the near future?
Too early to predict the Rumble winners? We're still more than three weeks out and, obviously, there are more possibilities than we could begin to even imagine playing out at the moment? But I say SmackDown could sweep the 30-person matches, with Shinsuke Nakamura winning the men's event, setting up a titanic clash with Styles at WrestleMania, and Riott prevailing on the women's side in an effort to build her as a big-time threat. Of course, I'm sure Asuka might have something to say about that come Rumble time.

Don't Skip the Salon10 January 20150 Comments
We know that it can be tempting to just "forget" to schedule a sometimes time-consuming appointment at the salon during the summer season. You're back at work, there are still parties or BBQs to go to, and even if there aren't, it's just so nice out! Who wants to miss the beautiful weather when there's summer going on outside?
Putting off your next appointment isn't such a great idea though; just like you, your hair has just survived party season, it has been out in the sun (unlike your skin, your hair probably hasn't been quite so well protected) - there's a lot of damage happening! Your hair needs attention!
To keep damaged ends at bay, it's a good idea to book in, even if it's just for a quick trim - but it's also a great opportunity to go for a new summer cut. Mid-length blunt cuts are great for summer and super-easy to style into those carefree summer styling looks. Any style that gets your hair off your face: a messy chignon, plaits (the perennial summer favourite) from romantic styles to fishtail braids.
Give us a call - your hair will thank you for it!

Week 14 Pick Summary
Mattare: Pitt > Cin, SC > Aub, Conn > USF, USC-UCLA (Under)
Chuck: OSU > Ore, UCLA > USC, SC > Aub, Idaho > SJST
Mikey: SC > Aub, Neb > Okla, UCLA > SC, WSU > Wash
How was my Thanksgiving at the beach? Horrible. I finally understood what it felt like to be a die hard Notre Dame fan the past few years. I now understand the misery you all endure watching heartbreak after heartbreak. Alabama, I will forever hate you more than Mike Guman does. Up that many point and you blow it...are you serious??? Then, to top it off a kicker ruins another great football game. TWICE! In the end, I am glad Auburn came back. If the door to Tempe was wide open and that crap happened...OH MY GOD I do not even know what I would have done.
Boise State is a great team. I am not mad they lost. Every team loses at some point. But to lose a game like that. Horrible. You know who feels for that piece of crap kicker? Bill Buckner. That bum lives in Boise and owns a car dealership. Kicker may at least get some sympathy from Billy and have a job there since everyone else in the state will forever hate him.
I am up $130. I am playing conservative.
Game #1: Oregon (ML) over Oregon State...$83 to win $12
If I lose this bet I do not even want to win this competition.
Game #2: Fresno State-Illinois (Over 58)...$11 to win $10
I saw Fresno's awesome D in Boise. Illinois is not much better.
Game #3: Auburn (ML) over South Carolina...$83 to win $31
I am a believer in them after last week on the road. Cam Newton is a man child.
Game #4: Lehigh (+17) over Delaware...$11 to win $10
I looked up the rules. No where does it say one must bet on an NCAA Division 1-A game. I will take the fightin Donnie Robert's plus the points.
Apparently being engaged gives you gambling superpowers. Hinkle is slipping up and I'm coming at him like a SPIDER MONKEY. All picks are sportsbook.com unless noted.
Game #1: Pittsburgh (-1.5) over Cincinnati...$110 to win $100
Cincinnati just isn't very good. They've had Pitt's number over the past few years, but that was due in large part to the man who was leading the Bearcats...and now that man is patrolling the sidelines in South Bend. Nippert Stadium just isn't as intimidating as it once was.
Game #2: South Carolina (+5.5) over Auburn...$55 to win $50 (www.betfair.com)
For a few reasons. First of all, I think the Ol' Ball Coach has something up his sleeve. Second of all, Auburn has to be mentally worn down after the grueling Bama game while the Gamecocks' confidence is soaring thanks to crushing a hated rival on the road. Third of all, South Carolina should've won the last game at Auburn and blew it down the stretch. And lastly, karma is eventually going to rise up and smack Cam Newton in the face.
Game #3: Connecticut (+2.5) over South Florida...$22 to win $20
Connecticut squashes all these convoluted Big East BCS scenarios and secures their spot in what's sure to be the most uninteresting BCS game ever.
Game #4: UCLA-Southern Cal (Under 53.5)...$22 to win $20
Southern Cal has a pretty darn good defense, but their offense is so vanilla and reined in with Mustain at the helm that I just can't see a lot of points being scored.
Welcome to my final week of the regular season picks: Clemson style. Like Kyle Parker, I have decided to mail it in for the season. No, I am not going to "quit" on this column. I am, however, going to give very little effort while still handing out my picks. Buyer beware. Also, there's a theme in my analysis. It's subtle, but see if you can find it.
Game #1: Oregon St. (+16.5) over Oregon...$50 to win $45.45
Corvalis might burn down.
Game #2: UCLA (+7) over USC...$50 to win $45.45
LA will burn down either way.
Game #3: South Carolina (+4.5) over Auburn...$50 to win $45.45
I hope the Gamecocks win so that Columbia does burn down.
Game #4: Idaho (-13.5) over San Jose State...$50 to win $45.45
I smell potatoes burning.
I should've never stopped picking Temple after Week 4. (all lines from covers.com):
Game #1: South Carolina (+5.5) over Auburn...$110 to win $100
Will karma finally kick in and deal Auburn a loss? Nobody wants to watch a national title game that they know won't count.
Game #2: Nebraska (+4.5) over Oklahoma...$33 to win $30
This game should be a pick em so points are a gift.
Game #3: UCLA (+6) over USC...$33 to win $30
Just think USC is reeling right now and Rick Neuheisel will have his boys ready to play.
Game #4: Washington State (+6) over Washington...$22 to win $20
This has to be the worst rivalry matchup of the weekend. I see a 3-0 final score so 6 points looks good.

If a child is born to two unmarried persons, a Court proceeding is necessary to determine the 'Father-child Relationship' (Paternity). An experiences family law attorney is necessary to set forth each parent's rights with the child. Our approach in every case is to try to do everything that can and should be done to ensure our client is in the strongest possible position to negotiate a settlement or present a contested case to the court in a trial.
Paternity Process
One party initiates the paternity action by filing a petition and other financial documents with the court, requesting to establish paternity, possible child support, a custody schedule, past expenses for the birth and the child.
All of these papers are "served" on the other parent.
The person being served must then file a response, financial documents and their request regarding establishing paternity, possible child support, a custody schedule, past expenses for the birth and the child.
After the process begins, the parties will have an opportunity to investigate assets, request information in written or oral form and seek information from third parties. This process is called Discovery.
Custody of children must be set forth in a written documents called a parenting plan. If there are concerns about the safety of the children, a Guardian ad Litem may be appointed. A Guardian ad Litem is an attorney appointed by the court to represent the best interests of the children in a custody case.
Once the case has been filed with the court, court appearances will be set for the attorneys, parties, and judge to discuss the case. During this process, there is an opportunity for settlement of your case. If a written agreement cannot be reached, the matter will be presented to the Judge in a trial.
Establish the father- child relationship
- Amending the birth certificate to include the father's name
- Past expenses for birth and the child
Child Custody
- Legal custody (who makes decisions)
- Physical custody (who has the child in their care)
Child Support
- Including insurance, daycare and other costs of the children.
- Guidelines are set forth in the Supreme Court Rule.
Name of the child

From crudite to purees and soups, cauliflower's beautiful white color and silky texture are celebrated. But its flavor shines brightest when roasted and caramelized in the oven and tossed with lemon and herbs.
1 large or 2 small heads of cauliflower
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Cut the cauliflower into quarters then slice each quarter into 1/2-inch slices. Toss the slices with olive oil and spread them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine the tarragon and lemon juice. Set aside.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once, or until the cauliflower is tender and browned. Remove from the oven and gently toss the hot cauliflower in the large bowl with the tarragon-lemon mixture.

With the possibility of a gas pipeline cutting a swath through private property in Northampton County, officials in Moore Township will invite representatives of the energy consortium to come in for a public forum to address residents' concerns.
Set to begin construction in 2017 pending approvals, PennEast's 105-mile long pipeline will stretch from Luzerne County through Northampton County before passing through Bucks County and crossing the Delaware River into New Jersey.
Planned to be 30 inches in diameter, the pipe will transmit natural gas from the Marcellus Shale to New Jersey and markets beyond.
The route is expected to cut right through Moore Township and parts of Bethlehem and Williams townships on its way toward Bucks.
To help quell rumors and have questions answered, Supervisors Chairman David Tashner Sr. said the township will soon reach out to PennEast and ask it to participate in a public forum.
The meeting would likely be held at the township fire station, 2718 Mountain View Drive, to accommodate a large turnout.
After three heavily attended public meetings in New Jersey, PennEast officials have said they are not accepting any other invitations at this time. But the company plans to hold public four open houses in November — details of which have yet to be announced.
PennEast spokeswoman Pat Kornick said if company officials were to go to Moore Township it wouldn't happen this year.
"We will continue to meet with landowners, elected and appointed officials, and other key stakeholders, which we have been doing for several weeks," Kornick said.
Secretary/Treasurer Richard Gable said he's been getting lots of calls from nervous residents concerned about the route and how it will affect them.
"Where it will go, and can we stop it?" he said.
Tashner, who attended a symposium on the matter at Cedar Crest College in Allentown last week, said his take-away from that meeting was that little can be done to prevent the pipeline from becoming reality.
"Can we prevent them from coming through the township? The answer is no," he said.
He said what can be done is to establish safety zones or setback areas around the pipeline where no construction would be permitted once it's planted in the ground.
"The township will be proactive, but in a practical, sensible manner," Tashner said.
He also said county officials hope to seek guidance from their counterparts in Bucks County, who have had previous experience with transmission pipelines cutting through their boundaries.
PennEast still must submit its proposed route to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, so there is no telling exactly how many property owners throughout Northampton County will be affected.
"At this point in time it's a wait-and-see game; they're looking for a practical route," Tashner said.
Because the project crosses state lines, the FERC has the final say, rather than local jurisdictions.

The failure of the Thirty5 Bar & Grille in West Hartford has drawn greater scrutiny of a state program designed to spark business development.
The restaurant got $47,500 in Small Business Express grant money from the state before it opened in October of last year. The restaurant is closed already, a high-profile failure in a $50 million yearly program of grants and loans that the Malloy administration has touted as one way to get the economy moving again. Whether the state should be investing in restaurants is a question worth answering.
Yet the Department of Economic and Community Development, which runs the program, has made a vigorous, and justified, defense of its actions. It said that 689 small businesses have gotten money since the program started last year. Of those, just four businesses closed.
"We knew going in that not every business would make it," said Commissioner Catharine Smith. "We turn away about 40 percent of small businesses that apply for the program. That should keep our problem loans to a minimum," she said.
According to the department, the program has helped retain more than 6,700 jobs, and helped create nearly 2,400 jobs in the state — although, truthfully, it will take another year or two to accurately measure job growth. Along the way, a few failures are inevitable. Commissioner Smith believes that the program will pay for itself in loan repayment and job growth, and we hope that she's right. It's a worthwhile program. Hopefully it's attracting more high-tech innovators than eateries.
There's one issue, though, with the Small Business Express Program that the department should address before it continues much longer. The overwhelming beneficiaries of the loans or grants are for white, male-owned businesses. Just 6 percent of the small businesses awarded state money so far are minority-owned. Twelve percent are owned by women.
Incredibly, the state doesn't keep a complete, accurate and up-to-date record of minority- and female-owned businesses in Connecticut. The most recent statistics are from the U.S. Census Bureau and date from 2007. Those statistics showed that women owned 29 percent of all Connecticut businesses and that minorities owned 13 percent of the state's businesses.
Women and minorities deserve to benefit in greater numbers from this creative state program. The department should double its outreach efforts in that regard.

We'd like to offer one comforting and wonderful fact about today's dentistry: it's much less stressful than it used to be.
Technology, new procedures, and some very sophisticated approaches to dental anesthesia have all contributed to comfortable dentistry, from cleaning to cavity preparations to root canals.
But what if you didn't grow up with modern dentistry, and remember it differently?
If you have had difficult dental experiences, you may be among the 150 million Americans who white-knuckle their way through treatment, or avoid the dentist altogether. The fact is, about 80% of the fearful can overcome dental phobia, with a little help from conscious sedation.
Many dentists understand dental fear and where it comes from. And many are becoming trained in forming good working relationships with fearful patients. Your dentist should encourage you to voice your anxiety and discuss your problems with him or her, before he or she touches a tooth in your mouth.
They should listen to your needs, and agree on small things that help you maintain a sense of control - a hand signal works with some patients. But talking about fear with your dentist - being assertive and letting him or her know what bothers you - is the first step.
If you're moderately anxious, the dental team can provide distracting diversions to put those concerns to rest. If you're extremely anxious, they can virtually put anxiety to rest via oral sedation. This approach involves taking a mild sedative before you arrive for your appointment. You remain awake, but extremely relaxed - so relaxed that many patients have all their needed dental work completed in a single office visit. If dental anxiety has kept you from making an appointment you know is needed - a sedation dentist can help!
Most people are well aware of the value of dental care, but cannot bring themselves to get into their dentist's office and climb into the chair. The reason: fear.
Dental anxiety, unfortunately, is sometimes a shared family experience. Whether it's just a bout of sweaty palms or acute anxiety, the fears and attitudes of parents can easily be passed along to children unintentionally. Perhaps you grew up without the technical advantages available today. Your unpleasant memories can be fierce enough to interfere with family dental education - and health.
Parents can begin to allay phobias - and keep from spreading them around - by examining the source of apprehension. Dental phobia generally hinges on fear of pain, choking, or loss of control. The dental environment might feel overwhelming. Invasion of personal privacy - the mouth - can be frightening. When you schedule an appointment, how do you feel about it? Do you find yourself cancelling appointments at the last minute? Do certain pieces of equipment make you uneasy? A little soul-searching can help pinpoint your fears.
You need to speak frankly with your dentist. Chances are, he'll understand. He'll take time with you to describe new techniques - and there are many - to overcome fear. His dental staff will take special care to respect your feelings and dispel any misgivings.
With some effort, nearly everyone can learn to overcome dental anxiety and relax. The direct benefits - you'll feel more comfortable when you visit, and, if you or your family have been avoiding the dentist altogether, your dental health will begin to improve. Indirectly, you'll offer a positive role model for your family. Take this step for yourself, and the family will follow. Call your dentist today to find out how he can help.

National Train Day
Date When Celebrated: Saturday closest to May 10th
The year 1869 was a really exciting time in America. The Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads were speeding across the wild, American frontier, laying tracks for what would soon become the first Transcontinental rail line. Construction was often done at great peril, as vast areas of the west were truely wild and unsettled. Once completed, train service would be connected from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, making the world a whole lot smaller. It would also change the face of America.
On May 9, 1869 the tracks of the two railroad companies met up at Promontory Summit, Utah. A golden spike was driven into the final connection of the two tracks. The first Continental rail line was 1,776 miles long. Towns, big and small, would soon sprout up along the route.
Here are just some of the ways you can celebrate this special day:
Origin of National Train Day:
This special day was created by the National Railroad Passenger Corporation. It was recently created, and first celebrated in 2008. One would think that this special day would have been created many, many years ago.
This is referred to as a "National" day. However, we did not find any congressional records or presidential proclamations for this day.
Important Note: If you see it listed on a different date on other websites, those websites are probably not keeping up with the creator's established date, which varies.
