Sigma Sport ROX 10.0 Cyclocomputer/GPSThe perfect companion for any professional athlete in training, the Sigma Sport ROX 10.0 Cyclocomputer/GPS is equipped with navigation, bike, heart rate, performance and altitude measuring functions, and so much more. Not only is this Sigma Sport's first bike computer with GPS, it also has a GPS receiver, route navigation and ANT+ wireless transmission technology. Power target zone lets you define upper and lower thresholds in watts, lap times can be evaluated in detail with 20 different functions recorded per lap, and four standard or customized intensity zones show the amount of time you've spent in each zone. Preprogrammed Fitness Zone and Fat Burning Zone, or your own Customized Zone, helps keep you in the desired Target Zone through audio and visual alarms. During a training session, you can access the short menu, which allows you to quickly switch between favorites A and B, load a track, make important track settings, define the target zone, switch the auto-pause function on and off, calibrate the altitude, select the bike, or calibrate the digital 3-axis compass. The ROX10.0 stores all data with recording intervals as short as one second. Before setting off on a ride, the Sigma Data Center 3 evaluation software can be used to create a track which can be transmitted to the ROX10.0. After training, the device can be read and analyzed on a Mac or PC. You can even to transfer GPS data and conduct comprehensive statistical and graph-based evaluation of all the recorded data.

After its demise 27 years ago, a little of the Columbus Citizen-Journal lived on.
When the daily newspaper ceased publication in December 1985, about $93,000 remained in its Adopt-A-Family fund, established by the newspaper in the Depression era of the 1930s to help families in need at Christmastime.
Trustees for the fund — C-J Editor Dick Campbell, City Editor Bill Keesee, religion writer George Plagenz, events coordinator Pauline Wessa and office manager Jane Erskin — put the money in a fund administered by the Columbus Foundation.
Thanks to the foundation and the economic climate of the late 1980s and early '90s, the fund grew — at its peak reaching $96,000.
Year after year, the trustees gathered late in the fall at the Spaghetti Warehouse in Franklinton to have lunch and to disburse money. The group lost a few members — Campbell and Plagenz have died — and gained a few others (including me).
We kept in mind the spirit of the original Adopt-A-Family, deciding on modest contributions for family-friendly organizations and causes. At various times, we donated to Franklin County Children Services, the Homeless Families Foundation, Action for Children, the Interfaith Hospitality Network at the YWCA and others.
One year, Keesee read a story in The Dispatch — the C-J's one-time nemesis — about the theft of an East Side organization whose toys were intended as Christmas gifts for children.
He took a woman who worked for the organization to a nearby store and bought $905 worth of toys, courtesy of Adopt-A-Family.
Alas, all good things seem to come to an end.
The fund has run dry.
A few days before Christmas, we gathered at the Spaghetti Warehouse to allocate our final $5,000 to five groups: LifeCare Alliance, People in Need, Power of the Pen scholarships, the Raiz Scholarship Fund at the Jewish Community Center and — for our last appropriation — Charity Newsies.
Over time, we gave away a combined $276,000 through our little fund.
Nancy Gilson is a Dispatch features editor.

GULFPORT, Miss. - Outside Mrs. Ruiz's classroom, near a bulletin board with essays about summer vacation, two men are sprawled out on a gray blanket. One of them snores, a rash covering his bare belly.
Down the hall, a man on an air mattress stares blankly out an open door as utility crews go by on Pass Road, then a truck advertising $200 generators and a Humvee carrying armed soldiers.
In the front, a dozen people are propped up against the wall - snoozing, smoking, talking, chasing sweat with water. Victoria Knobloch, 45, feels safer in the open air.
"It's scary in there," she said, pointing to the darkened entrance of Central Elementary School.
Nearly a week after Hurricane Katrina struck, 13,000 Mississippians remained at 101 Red Cross shelters Friday. At the elementary school in Gulfport, 160 residents were still stranded.
They are among the saddest cases, their homes destroyed, jobs gone. Unable to reach family. If they had money to fill their gas tanks, they'd have no place to go. Many have only the clothes on their backs, or what they could find in garbage bags left by the more fortunate. Tensions have escalated as has the threat of disease.
"We thought the shelters would be needed for a day, maybe two," said Col. Joe Spraggins, who is overseeing the relief effort in Harrison County. "No one knew the catastrophe we would be dealing with. It's a big problem."
The school will remain open as a shelter for only one more week.
"After that, who knows what we'll do," said Takiera Watson, 22, who was rescued by helicopter after the storm, taken to a hospital then bused to the school. Her apartment building was destroyed, as was the Subway where she worked in Pass Christian.
She and the others could be moved to trailers or "tent cities" officials are planning.
Many evacuees deplored unsanitary, unsafe conditions at the shelter. The bathrooms, they said, overflow with sewage and some people have taken to urinating in the hallway. Water needed to flush the toilets has been scarce, so some people went to a nearby creek Friday and hauled some back. Ice deliveries have also been spotty. Food and drinking water, however, have been steadily available, evacuees said.
"Horrible is an understatement," said David Walser, who has been at the shelter since Sunday.
Walser, 58, has colon cancer and said he missed a chemotherapy treatment.
"The nurses come down and say they are going to call the chemo place but they never come back," he said.
Regina Vanderwarf held her 2-year-old daughter's hand and walked across the parking lot to a beat up van. Another evacuee agreed to take her to Winn-Dixie.
"I can't stand it in there," she said. Vanderwarf, 27, is due to have a baby boy late this month though she fears a premature birth. "I've had false labor pains three times this week."
"You know," she said just before the van left, "a girl got raped here last night."
Shelter director David Hockman said he had not heard that, but Gulfport police Officer David Montague confirmed there was a sexual assault. He said he was not authorized to say more.
Issac Newton, a paramedic assigned to the shelter, said about 15 people were without medication. He worried what the coming days would bring. While he said the Red Cross workers inside were doing their best, "five days after the storm you'd expect a more concentrated effort with assistance."
Though Newton's ambulance idled in the parking lot, it could not be used to take several evacuees to the hospital. The ambulance is to stay there to deal with medical situations as they arise, Hockman said.
So the stranded were forced to find rides of their own. One man begged a reporter for a few gallons of gas so Victoria Knobloch could get the treatment she needed. Her arms and legs were laced with bandages that covered wounds she got crawling through rubble of her destroyed condominium for her dog, Nicky. She found him under a pile of bricks, frightened but okay.
"I've got him, but I don't have anyone else to turn to," Knobloch said. Then she began to cry.

San Antonio is, for many, the shopping mecca of the United States. But, beyond the shopping, the locale offers an ideal space for travelers looking to change their eating habits for the better. Shane Diet & Fitness Resort is located in the La Cantera Hill Country Resort hotel and offers physical fitness and weight loss programs for adults. The Executives: Ziporah Janowski, co-founder and president; Debbie Davis, program director and fitness coach; and Jackie Poplanski, program developer and behavior coach, are the ones responsible for personally tending to guests of the resort and offering them access to nutrition programs, physical fitness and dietary counseling so that, day by day, they learn to incorporate healthier choices into their lifestyle.
Eating proper portions of well-balanced meals, learning how to change unhealthy dietary habits, developing a regular exercise plan and being able to do it all in a setting that truly encourages and inspires its guests are the four fundamental cornerstones that the program offers potential visitors.
Regarding the variety of different people that attend the program, Janowski commented that there were distinct plans to accommodate every circumstance, such as their Corporate Weight Loss and Bridal Packages. "The Corporate Package is designed for business executives and human resource professionals who need to deal with their own weight issues and physical fitness needs with a personalized plan of 3, 7 or 21 days," she told us.
It's important to note that Shane Diet & Fitness Resort is in operation throughout the year with programs that vary in length, starting with the shortest 3-day program. Rates include luxury accommodations, meals, group classes, workshops and activities as well as individual sessions with nutrition and fitness professionals.

It arrived today [edit: at puerhshop. I haven't bought it... yet.]
I agree with you, Brandon, that this is an unknown quantity. It's great that Jim makes a 2 oz sample available, however, and I agree with Wesli that this tea has more info behind it than most other offerings out there (with the exception of Nada's own tea, which is now sold out).brandon wrote:Color me skeptical ... I would love to hear how it goes. I am just playing down Wesli's enthusiasm.
brandon wrote:Color me skeptical. The price is tipping very close to the highest end at Yunnan Sourcing. The famous LBZ produced by folks from the well regarded Mengku factor is selling for less. These are both blends, whatever their respective descriptions imply. But this one is a complete unknown, a shot in the dark, sold at the price of a top end cake from a big name factory. This is supposed to be believed by you, because of the implied association with Xi-Zhi Hao.
I don't know the history of the XZH production every year, but I also haven't seen many premium spring cakes that are full of big ugly leaves.
And if you're really after a classic blend by XZH, just get one for the same price.

Edit: Don't let me dissuade you from trying a sample, I would love to hear how it goes. I am just playing down Wesli's enthusiasm.

When asked what he thinks makes his business strong, Greg Kemp, owner, did not hesitate when he said, "Personnel. Our slogan is: Our people separate us from the competition."
The store's location is also ideal, said Kemp, and he believes that it has been the local economy that has helped his business thrive. "We're a retail based store and retail has continued to be very strong in this area, until last year or so. The NASA and high-tech military staffs located here have done very well so that has helped retail and the local economy," he explained.
According to Kemp, many stores around him build their business models around the builder business, but that's not Kemp's forte. "We go after those who are renovating. When people have lived in their homes for many years and want to upgrade, then they come to us. We're for the middle to middle-upper end market," said Kemp.
Kemp's offers a number of promotions geared towards the government employees located in Huntsville. "A big time for us to advertise are on government holidays like President's Day. We just finished up a big advertising program with local newspapers, television commercials and billboards. But, we're big time getting away from newspaper and pushing social media — Facebook, Pinterest — so we're working that daily," said Kemp.
A Shaw Flooring aligned dealer, Kemp said his market is seeing significant growth in LVT, with Mannington and Shaw products being particularly popular at his store. Shaw's HGTV products, he said, is another product line that is doing well.
"One thing we're excited about is Shaw's HGTV products. Those products are very well positioned price wise," said Kemp.
A strong online presence has also added to the success of his business, explained Kemp. G.E. Capital, said Kemp, used the store's site as an example during a recent webinar. The website was designed by Shaw and tweaked by the store. "It's worked out well," offered Kemp.
Kemp's Flooring also scored very high in Shaw's Secret Shopper program. The secret shopper made evaluations based on store appearance (both inside and outside), lighting, staff helpfulness, product displays, etc. The success, Kemp said, goes back to his staff.
"Bottom line, it comes down to the salesperson, and I think the salesperson did a great job helping the secret shopper. We found out months later this particular secret shopper went to more than 100 different stores," said Kemp.
A drive to succeed and constant educational training is what contributes to a knowledgeable, and helpful, retail sales associate. "We're a relatively small store and we get together once a month for training. We call on a manufacturer rep to help us educate our staff. The business model is changing fast so you have to keep up with the pace and change with the trends," Kemp said.
According to Kemp, the store has lofty goals for 2013, and he believes they have the experience, business acumen and passion to succeed.
"We are hoping to improve sales by 15 percent and profit by 20 percent. We are going to continue to work the retail end of it and we're going to try to get more negotiated commercial work, improve our margins and supply better quality product. And, of course, another of our goals is to support St. Jude's," said Kemp.
Participating in events that support St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital is a special part of Kemp's business strategy. With approximately 75 percent to 80 percent of the money donated to St. Jude's being private money, Greg Kemp said his store is constantly thinking of new ways to support the St. Jude cause — a goal of finding cures for pediatric cancers and caring for pediatric cancer patients.
"We want to take care of our customers and be socially responsible, that's why we support foundations like St. Jude's. The first time I visited one of the St. Jude homes, I was blown away. It's an outstanding operation. Saving kids' lives, that's about as good as it gets," said Kemp.
The store recently received its first order of St. Jude carpet pad, and is working on a product promotion to help raise proceeds for the hospital.
Kemp's scored well with a secret shopper for its product displays.

Topic: After a successfull AJAX validation I'm not redirected where I want
As the topic say I don't understand why I'm not redirected where I want after a successfull AJAX form submission.
Let me explain step by step.
At the beginning I'm in the new:
Started GET "/pay_checks/new" for 127.0.0.1 at Thu Oct 27 10:07:15 +0200 2011
Processing by PayChecksController#new as HTML
When I submit the form...
Started POST "/pay_checks" for 127.0.0.1 at Thu Oct 27 10:08:22 +0200 2011
Processing by PayChecksController#create as JS
The form is processed by the create controller as JS (its' ok)
In the create action, the format.js redirect to the index view path with a parameter...
format.js { redirect_to(pay_checks_url(:contract => @contract_id), :notice => 'Pay check was successfully created.') }
And at the end of the processing I see
Redirected to http://localhost:3000/pay_checks?contract=4
It's ok... I want to go there... but this is what happens:
Started GET "/pay_checks?contract=4" for 127.0.0.1 at Thu Oct 27 10:08:22 +0200 2011
Processing by PayChecksController#index as JS
Rendered pay_checks/index.html.erb within layouts/application (20.3ms)
And I'm in the new! I'm not in the index as the log is saying.
I think that the problem is that I didn't set up the format.js n the index action, what sould I put there?
Thanks to all for the help

How to Help
Today, the pressure humanity puts on the planet, its Ecological Footprint, is 50 percent greater than the planet's ability to withstand this pressure. It now takes the Earth one year and six months to regenerate what we use in a single year. This global ecological overshoot is depleting the natural capital on which all of life depends.
Signs of this environmental degradation are everywhere. Collapsing fisheries, loss of forest cover, depletion of fresh water systems, accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere and the build-up of carbon dioxide are just a few noticeable examples. If continued, overshoot will permanently reduce the Earth's ecological capacity and will lead to ecological collapse.
To reverse this trend, it is imperative that individuals and institutions recognize the reality of ecological limits and make decisions consistent with these limits. By scientifically measuring the supply of and demand for ecological assets, the Ecological Footprint provides a resource accounting tool which reveals ecological limits, helps communicate the risk of overshoot, and facilitates sustainable management and preservation of the Earth's critical ecological assets.
How can you help?
We invite you to join us in creating a world where we can all live well within the means of one planet. Together, we can create tremendous positive change. Everybody can make a difference. We encourage you to help in whatever ways you can, donating money, time or creating new opportunities.

UVM Human Resources Process
Foreign national employees should be set up with Human Resources as any other university hire. On the first day of employment, however, foreign national employees must meet with the appropriate staff member in the Office of International Education to complete the I-9 and International Information forms as part of the check-in process.
Submitting HR paperwork without a Social Security Number
Some foreign national employees already have Social Security Numbers (SSN). If not, the employee will need to apply for one at the local SSA Office (58 Pearl St.). HR can set up a new employee while the SSN is pending; please include a sticky note or cover memo indicating that the new employee is an international with a pending SSN application.
Social Security Number applications take a minimum of two weeks to be processed. If an employee does not receive the SSN by week three, she/he should visit the Social Security Office at 58 Pearl St. and inquire on the status of the application.
W-4 forms
OIE cannot assist employees in completing W-4 forms; employees should complete and submit forms W-4 to the department.

Rated 3 out of 5�by Lucy0218 A great concept, just.... not enough This product worked ok for walking but for running, it didn't absorb enough impact to allow me to run ('m female, 5'4", muscular 175 lbs, heel striker with plantar fasciitis). In addition, they were too narrow so that if I didn't place them JUST SO in my shoe, they moved around and rubbed my foot. But when I positioned them perfectly, they definitely helped, espcially with just brisk walking. For the price (and if you have narrow heels or a thin build or just need them for walking), I think they're defiitely worth a try... September 29, 2015

Most 1942-S Walking Liberty half dollars have very weak detail on Ms. Liberty's left hand. Many frosty white lustrous examples do exist as original uncirculated rolls were saved. It's strike that is the stopper on this issue.

Remembering the days of the drive-in theaterPosted Wednesday, November 24, 2010, at 8:16 PM
Those of you who take "the old way" from Dexter to Cape may have noticed the old abandoned Montgomery drive-in theater at Blomeyer Junction (near the new roundabout). I've wondered why the screen hasn't fallen down, so I was pleased to see Ken Steinhoff's new blog giving the history of the fifties hot spot. This structure is CONCRETE! It's going to be there long after we're dead and buried!
Ken lives in Florida right now, so imagine my amazement, when he pulled up at the tiny North Stoddard Countian office one day last week. I had never met him, but I was immediately intrigued when I saw the camera around his neck. He introduced himself, his 87-year-old mother, and two other friends, who were along for a photo jaunt in my part of the country. Ken's mother used to live in Advance, so our little town has attracted his interest.
He kept looking for more employees at the office, so I had to say, "Sorry - I'm IT! I have it all to myself!" To his credit, he was amused, rather than horrified by my backwoods journalist appearance. I think I was wearing a sweatshirt and jeans. Papers were piled everywhere.
When Ken does a research story, he even posts aerial shots, so, of course, he had been out to the Painton Airport (6 miles or so east of Advance), where he had met another fascinating local historian, Al Painton.
In Ken's new blog about the old Montgomery Drive-in Theater at Blowmeyer junction, he posts a total of 9 photos, most from the present, but some from the past. As a newspaper photo journalist for many years, he knows how to dig up the old stuff. Ken started his career as a journalist in high school, went on to work for the Southeast Missourian, then moved around to other newspapers, ending up in Florida. You can read his background on his site.
I never knew the Montgomery Theater when it was in operation, though Ken discovered from the owner that it closed as late as 1980. My husband and I moved back to the area in 1975, so I guess we could have driven from our Advance farm to see a movie there. We didn't, and I regret that very, very much! It would have been a nostalgic experience.
The drive-in theater which has a special spot in my own memory is the one which used to be in Dexter. As I write, I find that I don't even remember where it was! How can that be? I guess I haven't thought about it in years, but that was the usual dating spot for my husband Dale and I when we were in high school in the fifties. We rarely went to the air-conditioned Weeks Theater on Stoddard Street, as that venue didn't offer us the ....uh..privacy..which teenagers so treasure.
Yes, there were mosquitoes..and stifling heat in the summer...and freezing cold in the winter.. and we always got the spot with the broken speaker, so we'd have to drive up and down through the ramps to find another speaker... but what a wonderous experience! We looked to see which of our friends were there - and sometimes we double-dated, and the excitement was doubled! (What were they DOING in the back seat??)
Horror movies were the BEST kind to see at a drive-in theater! It was so much fun to be scared and give your boyfriend a chance to play the big, strong hero who was there to save you from the werewolves and vampires! Back then, horror movies were scarey - not just gross the way they are now! Who wants to see blood and dismemberment?? Give me zombies, vampires, werewolves, the Blob, and Norman Bates!
AND - there was always the chance that your boyfriend would meet your EX-boyfriend at the concession stand - and your girlfriends would rush back to tell you that there was a FIGHT at the popcorn stand!
Oh, it was MAGICAL, I'll tell you!!! Each trip to the movies was an adventure! What would happen?? What would you have to talk about at school the next day???
As I sit here and look at that eerie, vine-covered movie screen, I am hopelessly caught up in the fantasy of a lifestyle gone obsolete. That screen, whether at Blomeyer or Dexter, is a treasured part of my past. I want to see the vines fall away, see the colors from the projection booth come to life, hear the speakers sputtering excitement, watch the dark figures of the guys in their flat-tops and school jackets, going to the concession stand to get their girl an over-priced Pepsi and popcorn!
Later note: I have had a call from a gentleman from Doniphan, Mo., and he informs me that there is an active drive-in movie theater in that community. Sadly, the the few drive-in theaters left in the nation must operate in summertime, only - so I'll have to wait until May to go sample the heady pleasures of outdoor film delights! I'm looking forward to it!
From the distant hills of Tillman - about ten miles and 55 years years away from that ancient movie screen - this is your backwoods reporter Madeline, daydreaming another golden November day away..

MD, you've got to remember the Family Drive-In!! Across the little road west of the Hickory Log, out on west 114...Dr. Neal Garner's parents ran it when I was at DHS, and we even had DJ and dances before the show, weather(summer)permitting.
The Garners were/are great people, and their drive-in was part of Dexter's "growing up"....but do you remember the "Midway Drive-in" between Dexter and Bloomfield????? Up here we still have a drive-in over on Merriam Lane, called The Boulevard, triple features in the summer months, and otherwwise a big flea market other times on weekends during fall/winter and early spring, good thing about the Boulevard is a great BBQ place just out the back gate called Quick's BBQ, great ribs, KC style, thanks for the memories, MD, regards to the Bootheel, kkr

As I remember back in those days popcorn and a soda were only 20 cents. Often we referred to the drinks as a sewdey....as I remember my honey and I never saw a movie at the drive in, she had to be home before dark. And being a nice boy I always obliged.
-- Posted by Dexterite1 on Fri, Nov 19, 2010, at 5:31 PM
There are still a few drive-ins still in operation in the area. There is one in Piedmont, one just south of Ellington, and one just north of Potosi. These are open from May through September.
-- Posted by BonScott on Fri, Nov 19, 2010, at 7:56 PM
I remember the name "Midway Drive-in," but I have no idea where it was. That's such hilly country between Dexter and Bloomfield - I can't imagine where they could fit in a drive-in.
Good memories! Steinhoff's account is a hoot! I love the part where one customer drives through in a car with the back scraping the ground, and the fellow taking the tickets knows that the trunk is full of free-loaders!
I would love to go to a drive-in just one more time -- with the right person, of course! For old times' sake!

I live about 3/4 of a mile form the Twin Drivein here in Independence.this past summer my 2 daughters who are 10 and 9 came up for a week.One of those nights we went to see new Twighlight movie. We had a BLAST!!!We took lawn chairs and snacks of course they HAD to go get popcorn!! People were cooking out it was a great family night out. One I'll remember for along long time.Hopefully so will the girls. I remember the Dexter drivein on 114 saw a lot of movies there in the late 70's Someone always had a pickup a bunch of us boys would all load up and go (mostly to chase girls!!) I remember seeing Smokey and the Bandit when it came out there.

What a great insight into the social lives of Americans in bygone years. We were not blessed with drive-ins Downunder although there is one still operating at a beach resort nearby during the Christmas holiday season.
A few concerns become apparent from some-one who has not experienced this phenomenon, (and may well be the poorer for it).
Overpriced Pepsi and popcorn?
DDT Spray? Mosquitoes? Mozzie Coils?
Steamy windows? Come back Tina Turner, all systems all go below!
Double dating ? Something a bit kinky here, I suspect.
Heat, Cold?
Scratchy speakers ?
Following the demise of drive-in theaters, was there a corresponding reduction of the birth rate?
-- Posted by wartz on Sun, Nov 21, 2010, at 1:58 AM
wartz, double-dating just means that you and two of your friends all go out together. There was nothing kinky about it--just twice as much fun shared. Many movies are remembered as much for the sound-track as for the pictures on the screen. At least, that's what I've been told. I'm sure kk has something to say about that, too. ha!
-- Posted by GONENOW on Sun, Nov 21, 2010, at 1:59 PM
OMG, wartz, what did you think double-dating WAS?? Hahahaha! Thanks for explaining, GN! Can't believe that teenagers don't double-date in New Zealand!
And, mmm, I think maybe GoneNow knows kk! Did you two double-date in high school, perhaps??
Wartz, one practical reason for double-dating was that not all the boys had a set of wheels! In this era of plenty, it's hard to imagine, but in fifties America, most teenagers did not have cars! They drove their parents' cars, if they could get the keys!
-- Posted by goat lady on Sun, Nov 21, 2010, at 7:22 PM
GL; I thought I knew what double dating was until GONENOW offered "you and two of your friends" as an explanation. This,to me, would seem to be a threesome or menage a trois perhaps. Either way, it certainly seems kinky to me !
-- Posted by wartz on Sun, Nov 21, 2010, at 8:45 PM
Glad you enjoyed the piece.
You're going to get in trouble with my mother, though. She turned 89 last month, not 87. When your really young and really old, you want credit for every year you tack on.
I wasn't taken aback by your "backwoods" appearance. I'm proud to say that I've covered Popes and Presidents in my blue jeans.
I'll be back in the spring to shoot some new material. I have some more Advance area stuff in the pipleline. Keep checking back.
-- Posted by Ken1 on Sun, Nov 21, 2010, at 9:05 PM
wartz: My apology! I meant you, your date, and two friends shared a vehicle or event. I did not mean a group of three people went out together. I thought it was apparent that each person was with only one other person, but a total of four were in the car! I should be more careful with communication skills! No, GL, I don't think kk and I ever double-dated. I did know him in HS though. He just doesn't know that he knew me. teehee! (lovebooks, shhh!)
-- Posted by GONENOW on Tue, Nov 23, 2010, at 7:13 PM
GONENOW; No need to apologise, (or apologize for that matter). In fact my philosophy is; never apologise, never admit you're wrong and never back down ! In hindsight I must accept that I am inordinarily thick and should never have got into this debate in the first place. I am now sure that double dating is a fine American tradition - long may it continue !
-- Posted by wartz on Wed, Nov 24, 2010, at 2:42 AM
You made me laugh! Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to you and all bloggers--known and unknown!
-- Posted by GONENOW on Wed, Nov 24, 2010, at 1:29 PM
Oh, wow, we even heard from Mr. Steinhoff himself! Aren't we glad that he isn't taking MD to court for stealing his material??
Well, well - if this piece leads to more fans for the Cape Central blog, then all the better! It is a wonderful source of entertainment and local history.

We used to beg my mom to take us to the drive-in (Family Drive-In run by Winfred Garner). She would say no repeatedly and we kept it up and finally promised that we would NOT ask to go to the concession stand. She would give in on the condition that we wouldn't bug her to go to the concession stand because she didn't have enough money.
We'd get to the drive-in, pick out our parking spot, pull up "just so" on the little hill, pull in the speakers, light up our mosquito coil, watch the heat lightning in the distance behind the screen, and wait for the show.
The second the show started, we started in on Mom to let us go to the concession stand. She would stand her ground for awhile, but every time...EVERY TIME...she would say, "Ok, pull out the seats." We'd jerk out the car seats to look for money under them, and we ALWAYS found enough money to get to go to the concession stand!
-- Posted by lovebooks on Thu, Nov 25, 2010, at 4:30 PM
Hey there, lovebooks! Do you remember that my sister worked in that concession stand? I'm sure she didn't really do this, but she could have "checked out" all the other girls' dates when they went in for popcorn, leaving the girls behind. Now, I would have done that--she probably didn't. Ha!
-- Posted by GONENOW on Fri, Nov 26, 2010, at 4:43 PM
Oooh, GN, I didn't remember that your sister worked there! What a fun job that must have been!! Hehe! She'd have found out all the good gossip about WHO was there with WHOM!! Mmmm...juicy!
I wonder if lovebooks has figured out who your sister is???
-- Posted by goat lady on Sat, Nov 27, 2010, at 7:20 AM
Lovebooks, that story is PRICELESS! I can just see your family, pulling out the car seats to look for change!
Funny thing is, the concessions didn't cost much by today's standards. I remember when a dime was a significant amount of money. When I lived in the dorm at college, I thought my roommate was rich, because she could go to the basement Coke machine and spend a dime on a soda.
When we were kids, our parents would pop corn at home and take it in a big brown bag, so we didn't have to spend money at the concession stand. I didn't taste concession stand pop corn until I started dating!

GoneNow, MY sister used to work for Emily Garner in the Family Drive-In concession stand!! I didn't realize she had a buddy working with her! That is so funny.
I have another drive-in story but I'm almost embarrassed to tell it...oh what the heck.
One Saturday night, two of my best friends and I were dateless and cruising the "Pig, A&W, Dairy Queen" route. We were bored and restless, and ONE of us suggested as we drove past the drive-in, "Hey! Let's sneak in and watch the cartoon!" Believe me, at that time, no "cool" girl would have been caught dead at the drive-in because they were always showing Elvis or horror movies. It was on it's way out.
So, we decided we'd try to sneak into the drive-in through the back exit, watch the cartoon, and leave. Just a joy ride. Here we were in my best friend's car...this HUGE, LONG, WHITE Chevy Bel-Air that we called the TANK.
We turned out the lights, crept in the exit, eased up on the little hill, pulled in our speaker, and settled in to watch the cartoon, giggling like goofballs.
About that time, we saw Winfred's truck lights headed in our direction. He got out, came over to the driver's side, and asked us to follow him back to that little building at the entrance. By the time we got there, we were all in tears.
And ME! This was one of my dad's best friends!!! How horrible of me! Oh it was awful. We got out, went in to talk to Winfred, and explained to him that we were only going to watch the cartoon and then leave. He was shocked when he saw who we were because he knew all three of us! It was awful.
After we talked to him for awhile, he was actually laughing behind his ever-present pipe, but I was still scared to death he would tell my dad (which would mean CERTAIN death). I spent the night with my best friend that night, and the next morning when she took me home, there sat Winfred's truck in our driveway. I knew I was dead meat.
He never told my dad.
-- Posted by lovebooks on Sun, Nov 28, 2010, at 2:02 PM
Oh, LB, this is a wonderful story, full of so many items of local color! I didn't remember the part about how the drive-ins showed Elvis and horror movies when they were in their decline!
When your sisters and I were teens, the drive-in was still "in - and how would I remember who worked there, when it was the guy's job to go get the concessions! I don't think I saw the inside of the stand more than once in my life.
I wish I had had the nerve to be one of the "bad girls" who sneaked in without paying!! Your sisters and I would never have done that!

Miz Goat Lady, Mam,
MD swiped my material with my permission. With the holidays coming up, we bloggers owe it to each other to share to lighten the load.
If it tempted some folks to venture over to

Besides, if MD hadn't picked up the material, I would have missed out on the great comments y'all have posted.

I've just received a new teapot from Den's, the $19 Kokoro (one of three $19 pots they sell currently with similar, but not identical specifications).
I don't know of anyone else who has one of these economy pots, but it seemed safe enough to take this one for the team.
It's a handsome little pot, as seen in this "fresh from the box" footage.
It pours just fine, as seen in this rare "first cup of tea from a new pot" footage.
Initial impression?
If you're looking for a sencha-friendly teapot that passes cost-benefit analysis, you could certainly do worse.
My wussy phone cam once again fails to do justice to a gorgeous cup of sencha, but whatcha gonna do?

The US Open has always been the most special event for me! I have competed in the event for the last 13 years in a row.
It all started for me when I was 12. In the year 2000, my mom took me to Stratton Mountain for the legendary snowboarding event. I was competing in the junior jam and it was a dream come true! That week, I shredded with all the best up-and-coming kids including Luke Mitrani, Mikel Bang and Shaun White. It was so cool to be a young kid seeing all my idols and shredding my heart out! On Saturday of that week I hopped the fenced and poached the pipe finals, and from that day on, I knew that I wanted to become a pro snowboarder.
Over the next six years, I competed in the event and worked my way up the ranks, getting closer and closer to making the finals each year. I knew from early on that if I wanted to break out in the sport and make a name for myself, I was going to do it at the US Open! In 2006, everything seemed to click for me: my snowboarding was on point, I fell in love with my wife, and everybody knew that it was going to be the year that I made a name for myself in snowboarding. That spring, I went to Stratton and started from prequalifiers and had to battle through the rounds... I won prequals, then I won qualifiers, then I won semis, and boooom I had made my first US Open finals! The day of finals everything went amazing and I just missed the win, earning a close second behind Shaun White. From that day on, people knew who I was and soon after I was getting paid to snowboard!
For the next three years, I traveled the world as a pro snowboarder and met so many amazing people. There was still something missing though: a US Open title. In 2009, I would make that dream come true! That year, I had an amazing season with podiums across the globe and everything seemed to be falling in place. I was competing in the Global Open World Tour and the TTR World Tour. The US Open was the last event of the tours and I was high in the standings. To lock up the tour win, I needed a top-three finish, so the pressure was on. I went to the event nervous but ready, and when the starter in the gate said, ''You're good to go,'' I just laid it all out there. I stomped one of the best runs of my life and won the event! I was in shock! I not only won the event but I won the Global Open Tour title. After finding that out, I almost fainted, then someone told me I also got second in the TTR Tour. It was ridiculous. It was the best moment of my life at that point. That day, I took home the biggest prize payout in one day in snowboarding history. I am one blessed individual and I will never forget that day! The US Open was and always will be a memorable event for me.
This year's Open was very bittersweet for me. They have taken the US Open out of Stratton, Vt., and moved it to Vail, Colo. The event was held in Stratton for over 20 years. I was heartbroken when I heard the news, but in the back of my mind I knew that Vail would pull off a better venue for the riders.
Out with the old and in with new is how the world works, so it was time for me to embrace the change and go have some fun. Coming straight from Japan, I missed both practice days due to screwed up flights. Things still worked out the next day and I made it through semis into finals. I was super relieved. I woke up on finals day to a full-on blizzard. I don't mind bad weather so I got up and got excited to compete. The U.S. team coaches and wax techs were on point, so for me speed was not an issue. The snow kept falling and it was time to throw down a run. I landed my first two runs and was sitting in third, but I knew what I had to do to get on top: the triple. I wanted to throw it so bad in my last run, but it just wasn't in the cards. I ended up coming short and not putting together the run I wanted... I ended up with a third-place finish which is nothing to cry about, but at the same time I was disappointed in myself for not doing what I really wanted to do. It was another successful US Open, nonetheless. What I love about snowboarding and my life is that when things don't come easy, you have to work even harder to accomplish them. When you finally get what you have worked for, the reward is so much bigger!
Overall, the US Open was an awesome time and I saw some amazing riding going down from all my friends. More and more, I realize how amazing this life is and how blessed we are to snowboard for a living.

The 13cu/3000psi tank also fits well in the same pocket where the bladder goes:
It has a little pocket that fits the barrel plug and barrel socks very well. Also nice if you want to store your keys:
Finally, you can put the pistol in between you and the strap to make a holster. It's not the best, but it works:

Slip Sliding Away - Page 4
Ski Walking and Bounding for Trail Runners
While skiers use it as off-season training, ski bounding builds strong trail runners too.
- Ski bounding imitates classic (traditional) ski technique.
- It can be done with or without poles, but poles allow better arm and core workouts.
- Use poles that are a few inches below your armpit.
- Look for a hill that you would run rather than hike in a race.
- First try ski walking: Take a very long step forward -- the proper stride is half that length.
- Walk up the hill using your poles to assist you (the opposite arm and leg go forward together just as in running). Your shoulders should be rounded forward, for an athletic skier-like stance.
- Next, add an explosive uphill jump, or bound, off each foot.
You can add interval and fartlek workouts (carry your poles on a trail run and ski bound on gentle to moderate uphills). For steeper hills, use ski walking.
Hill Training on Skis
Nelson recommends the following workout once a week, either on AT or cross-country gear.
- Warm up with an easy ski for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Find a steep hill that will allow for high-heart rate skiing while maintaining good technique.
- Ski at nearly maximum effort for threeto four minutes.
- Ski easy, preferably on gentle terrain, until you near full recovery. Repeat.
- Begin with three to five repeats and increase reps each week depending on your training goals.
- Cool down with an easy 30-minute ski.

It was hard to miss Nate Ebner on Saturday. #34 was making almost every tackle on both kickoff and punt coverage. He had a sack late in the game, and came very close to blocking an Akron punt.
The announcers mentioned him a few times...that he was a walk-on who never played H.S. football...was a rugby player at OSU (Fickell has since awarded him a scholarship...and he sure earned it vs Akron.)
This video makes him even easier to like....the story of how his dad was murdered in his place of business in a robbery attempt, and the motto that has driven him ever since.
I was one of several folks in here singling him out for criticism last year...(mostly just for being a walk-on playing on a coverage team that looked very bad at times....against Miami and Wisconsin especially). But he played like a freaking demon Saturday...and he looks much bigger and stronger and faster this year somehow...anyway...watch the video...

Sherry Hinant, Genealogy Librarian of Harrisburg District Library, is researching a Civil War veteran and a veteran's organization in Harrisburg.
Clifton Jackson of Springfield is a relative of James H. Barnett, one of the few African American Civil War veterans who lived in Saline County. Jackson provided Hinant a copy of a photo of Barnett sitting with other Civil War veterans possibly taken in 1915 and asked for her help in identifying them.
The project will be part of a display of Civil War quilts at the Illinois State Museum that runs Feb. 3 through Sept. 8.
Hinant has learned when the Civil War broke out, James Barnett (1840-1926) was a slave in Kentucky. His owner enlisted in the Confederate Army and was arrested recruiting rebel soldiers in Kentucky, a state was supposed to be neutral. Barnett made his way north and with his six brothers enlisted in the Union Army. Barnett rose to the rank of sergeant in the 28th Indiana Infantry U. S. Colored Troops and served until the end of the war as the only brother to survive.
After the war, Barnett returned to Kentucky to bring his wife and three children to Illinois. He established a farm outside of Shawneetown in Gallatin County, Illinois. By 1875, the Barnett family had moved to Harrisburg in Saline County.
The back of this photograph does not list its sitters, but an inscription reads: "Grandfather Jim Barnett and his Revolutionary buddies." This mysterious note may simply be a mistaken war, or it may be that Barnett and his friends were somewhat revolutionary, Hinant notes. Racial tensions and violence were especially high in the early 20th century. Civil War veterans groups were known advocates for Union soldiers rights regardless of their race. In the photograph as in the flag quilt, James Barnett is integrated with equal standing to his peers.
Hinant believes Jackson's photo may have been of members of the Harrisburg George Newell Grand Army of the Republic Post 454. The GAR was among the first organized advocacy groups, supporting voting rights for African Americans and the establishment of pensions for Civil War veterans, including African Americans.
They were also instrumental in establishing Soldiers and Sailors Homes. In 1868, Commander-in-Chief of the GAR, John A. Logan issued General Order No.11 calling for all GAR Departments and Posts to set aside the 30th of May as a day for remembering the sacrifices of fallen comrades, thereby beginning the celebration of Memorial Day.
The display in Springfield is intended to present the Civil War through a woman's point of view. Called "Civil War Quilters: Loyal Hearts of Illinois" will include a quilt from Saline County. The maker of the Saline County Commemorative Flag Quilt is unknown, but it is believed to have been made between the years 1912-1915 and is made of hand-pieced and quilted cotton.
Page 2 of 2 - Made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Civil War, this memorial quilt is in the form of an American flag with 48 stars, the number used from 1912-1959. The quilt is believed to have been made as a fundraiser raffle quilt for a Harrisburg, reunion of Saline County veterans, Hinant said. It is embroidered with the names and regiments of Civil War veterans living in Saline County, Illinois, by 1912. The first of the men listed here died in 1915.
Among the names of veterans on the quilt is Barnett.
Hinant hopes someone locally can help her with the project by providing information about the veterans in the photograph and on records or information pertaining to the GAR post in Harrisburg.
Anyone with information may contact Hinant at the library at 253-7455 or by e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Agrees with shop local theory
To the Editor:
The shop local meeting for shop in your home town should talk a lot keeping prices close to those in other towns. Most people will buy in their town if the price is close to what the item can be bought for in another town. It can be a little higher, but like gas the other day at 22 cents higher in Webster City than Fort Dodge, that makes it very hard.
I try to buy in Webster City all the time. I have bought two cars here in town, two campers and most of our food. The only things we do not buy in town is a very few things we cannot get here, other than gas at 22 cents higher.

Settlers' suffering seems to be forgotten in US-Dakota War commemorations
To the editor:
I am writing in regard to concerns I have about the recent proclamations by the governor and articles in several newspapers involving the commemoration of the 1862 US-Dakota War. The descendants of the Dakota have been allowed to express themselves on behalf of their ancestors without being held accountable for their actions. Today, all Minnesotans of European descent are unfairly being held accountable for the results of governmental policies of 150 years ago. Those of us who descended from settler victims of the Dakota would like to be given equal time to comment on this tragedy.
It begs the questions to define what war means. "War" implies an armed conflict between TWO parties. So why is only one view being presented? There were indeed instances of poor crops, depleted food stores, and governmental oversight, but these do not explain the willful murder of people who were engaged in peaceful pursuits. For most of the conflict, soldiers and settlers alike were on the defensive against a very aggressive foe. It was not until late in September of 1862 that the US Army finally defeated the Dakota at the Battle of Wood Lake.
From Aug. 16 to Sept. 23, 1862, the well-armed and organized Dakota killed and kidnapped settlers at will throughout both Minnesota and Iowa. In any other narrative, this behavior would have been termed "terrorism" or even "genocide," as it was Taoyateduta's intent to wipe out all the European-American settlements and regain the land for the Dakota. Dakota casualties were minimal, possibly 50 or 60, but at least 600 settlers, mostly unarmed men, women and children were brutally murdered in their homes and fields. There were dozens of eyewitnesses to these atrocities, and the hundreds of graves dotting the landscape of Minnesota and Iowa still testify to these murders.
In 1862, my great-grandfather Rudolph Ochs was 3 years old and living with his family on a farm in Milford Township near New Ulm. On Aug. 18, 1862, the Dakota brought war to an unarmed civilian population. Rudolph's uncle, Benedict Drexler, was shot down and beheaded while working in his field, leaving his wife and daughters destitute. Rudolph's nine year old sister, my great- great aunt, Cecelia, witnessed the murder of a bedridden neighbor woman and was nearly burned to death herself when the house was set on fire. The remaining members of the Drexler and Ochs families were able to escape to New Ulm, or otherwise I would not be writing this letter. That is my personal stake in this story.
Yes, it was unfortunate that the combination of weather, delayed payments and other governmental oversight, and, it must be said, the Indian distaste for American-style farming, led to hunger and discontent during that summer of 1862. Yes, it was tragic that this "war" became a touchstone for later conflicts that resulted in complete Indian disenfranchisement and the horrors of the reservation system. But all of this was in the future. My family and those of the other settlers were not "land thieves" – they had a legal right to be living in Minnesota according to the laws of the land of the time. They did not willfully engage in the destruction of the Indian culture, they did not seek out to kill Indians. They were peaceful, law-abiding citizens of the State of Minnesota.
After the attacks, the Ochs family came back to Brown County but did not rebuild their burned-out farm. Cecelia recorded her experience for posterity in a leaflet distributed during the 50th anniversary commemoration of the tragedy, in 1912. Her brother A.C. Ochs read his poem honoring the survivors at the Junior Pioneer banquet that year. Cecelia's great grandson would be one of the people who spoke at the rededication of the Milford monument this past summer.
Do we expect the proper course of action for a group with grievances against the government to be murder, rape and kidnapping of their neighbors? Are we shocked that the penalty for capital offenses was death? Why is so much attention paid to the mass hanging and not the murders of 15 times the number of settlers that had no connection to the governmental mistakes? Is it because there were lithographs made of the hanging that were published around the country? There were no images made of the mutilated setters. But the people who saw these things did not forget. Their descendants have not forgotten. The rest of the state should not forget that there were TWO sides to this conflict and that the settlers who had nothing to do with delayed payments or crop failures did not die forgotten, swept under the rug of history.
It is time for healing. We are not crackpot radical types or historical revisionists. We are Minnesotans whose families have lived here for seven generations or more, parents, business leaders, farmers, taxpayers, descendants of those who created the state in which we live today. We are asking for a fair hearing in remembrance of the many that died needlessly. We cannot correct the wrongs done 150 years ago, but we can establish a balanced view of the conflict going forward, or the divisions will widen, the polarization worsening with the passing years. Is that the legacy we want to pass on during this time of commemoration?

Garrett Hedlund Gossip
Garrett Hedlund gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Smutty Roundup: Hot guys – Garrett, Richard, Kit
Wenn, AKM-GSI/ Splash, George Pimentel/ Jeff Vespa/ Steve Granitz/ Getty Images
Garrett Hedlund was so handsome last night at Critics' Choice. He, of course, was with Team Unbroken and presented with Michelle Monaghan. I always, always, always wonder when Angelina's talking to him whether or not she looks at him and sees a young Brad Pitt. Robb Stark, Richard Madden, soon to be Prince Charming in Cinderella was photographed out for a walk in New York the other day in a really nice pea coat. Full Story
Unbroken Couples

It was only a half Brange at the Unbroken premiere last night but there were other Unbroken couple on the carpet. First… Miyavi, with the most gorgeous bone structure to rival Alexander Wang, his wife Melody, and their daughters Lovelie and Jewelie. These children. And their hair! I have some hair. Full Story
David Bowie rejected Chris Martin
The BBC Music Awards happened the other day. Chris Martin was asked to contribute to a video honouring David Bowie. And he revealed that he wanted to work with Bowie on a song… but that Bowie declined because, well, the song sucked. "One time I sent him a song to ask him to sing on it. Full Story
Garrett's gift and with the Jolie
Wenn, FameFlynet, Santi/Splash News
"I think (Garrett's) going to be a huge movie star. He reminds me of the very lovely Brad Pitt. He has this country, earthy grit about him, juxtaposed with this incredible sensitivity. It is a very sexy combination." – Gwyneth Paltrow in VOGUE 2010 Full Story
First look at Pan
Joe Wright is a good director. And I did like Hook, with Robin Williams. But this first look at Pan…an origin story… I have some concerns. One concern is Hugh Jackman's hair. Can you see the wig line – glaringly – across the top of his head in several shots? These are the kinds of details that can become distracting. Full Story
Where are my bloody pirates?!

I have dragons. I'm happy with the dragons. Dragons are coming out the pop culture wazoo right now, and I love it. But I don't have any pirates. Rather, the pirates I do have are stupid, and I want better ones. (Exception: Gideon Defoe's The Pirates! series, and adaptations thereof. Full Story
Kiki & Garrett's next level
Keystone, Lisa Maree Williams/ Caroline McCredie/ Don Arnold/ Getty
Kirsten Dunst and Garrett Hedlund have been together for a while. They've been papped holding hands, out for breakfast, side by side with castmates on a red carpet... But how about on a carpet as a "couple"? First time, right? She's in Australia for Anchorman 2. Far as I know he's not in the movie (although there are a million cameos so if you correct me, I wouldn't be surprised). Full Story
Garrett Hedlund will not be Christian Grey
SPW/ Splash
He's the right age. He's the right build. He's hot. But he's also not interested. US Weekly reports that Garrett Hedlund has passed on becoming Christian Grey for the film adaptation of Fifty Shades Of Grey because he didn't want to be locked into a trilogy which… I mean, if it's really the "role every actor wants", so what's the problem with playing it three times? Well, Aaron Johnson recently said Full Story
Kiki in Cannes but no Garrett?
Splash, Keystone
Kirsten Dunst arrived on a stopover at Heathrow today and the photo agency says she's heading to the Cannes Film Festival. She was there last year for On The Road with boyfriend Garrett Hedlund. No sign of him at the airport though he may be arriving later? Hedlund is in Inside Llewyn Davis which is premiering at the festival. Full Story
Romance in London
They say it's Paris, the city of love. For me it's London. Jacek and I ended our 10 year anniversary trip in London last year after stops in the Maldives and Dubai and there wasn't a minute of sunlight and it rained the whole time and …it was perfect. Here are Kirsten Dunst and Garrett Hedlund in London the other night on a rather typical date. Full Story
TIFF REVIEW: On The Road
FameFlynet, Splash, Jason Merritt/Getty
I can't wait to hear people's reactions to this movie. Director Walter Salles was faced with a daunting task, one that many might argue was virtually impossible to successfully accomplish: turn Jack Kerouac's barely fictionalized autobiography, On The Road, often referred to as one of the most important novels of the century, into a film that wouldn't crumble under the weight of such tremendously high expectations.

Parent-Child Communication Related to Sexual Health: The Contextual Experiences of Rural Latino Parents and Youth
Understanding how parent-child communication occurs within the cultural context is an important consideration in sexual health given that culture plays a major role in the development of various beliefs and attitudes. This qualitative study explores the perceived experiences of first-generation, immigrant rural Latino parents and youths (N = 19) about parent-child communication related to sexual health. Specifically, the article explores their perceptions on (a) the process of such communication when and if it occurs; (b) the content of such discussions when they occur; and (c) whether the content of these discussions is based on gender or familial context. Results suggest that cultural norms are followed in regards to gender of both the parent and the youth, but often going against religious and father's expectations, with the mothers discussing birth control facts in greater frequency. We discuss implications for Latino teen pregnancy prevention efforts.
