The stinking truth behind smelly dog breath
If your pet's breath smells bad, take immediate action because it is one of the surest signals that your companion is headed for life-threatening health problems, a leading veterinary oral care group cautions, and a new report about heart ailments and dogs gives much credence to the warning.Bad breath is caused by gum disease, which three of four dogs will develop by middle age. If left untreated, it will lead to bacteria invading the bloodstream and possibly damaging a pet's heart, liver and kidneys, according to the Veterinary Oral Health Council.Story continues below----------------------------------------------------------------------A book about a rescue dogthat will touch your heartTHE HUNT OF HER LIFE, a full-color book by newspaper journalist and MySetterSam.com publisher Joseph A. Reppucci, is must reading for animal lovers of all ages. It has 60 color photos of dogs to illustrate the compelling story of Samantha, an unwanted rescue dog adopted at age 2 by Mr. Reppucci. Travel with them along a trail of life filled with surprising twists, sudden turns, mystery and even what some call a miracle. And when the journey is finished, you may never look at people and their pets, motherhood - and perhaps even God - in the same way. THE HUNT OF HER LIFE will take you on a captivating journey - a trip like no other - that will touch your heart.For more details and to order, go to theMySetterSam E-storeAlso find The Hunt of Her Life on:Facebook/thehuntofherlifeAmazon.comCLICK HERE TO LOOK INSIDE THE BOOK----------------------------------------------------------------------Story continues hereAnd a Perdue University professor's findings of a definitive link between gum disease and heart problems in dogs underscores the magnitude of the problem.�We knew from previously published research that there was growing evidence of a link between gum disease and heart disease, diabetes, birth defects and low birth weight among humans," Larry Glickman, a professor of epidemiology who conducted the study, states in a media release. "So we thought it was time to assess whether such a link existed in dogs. The research is important because gum disease occurs in up to 75 percent of all dogs by middle age."For the study, which was published in the Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association, Dr. Glickman examined records of 59,296 dogs with gum disease and matched them to those of a similar number of dogs without gum problems. He followed the dogs to see which ones developed heart diseases and the type. He did statistical tests which showed the incidence of heart disease increases with the severity of the gum disease.Dr. Glickman says isolating the specific bacteria in the mouth that causes the inflammation of gums can lead to better treatment and prevention."Knowing the mechanism is important, because it'll allow us to develop preventive drugs and then examine their effectiveness," Dr. Glickman said. "We can also get pet food companies to develop foods that will prevent gum disease in dogs and cats."Preventive care is the best way to stop pets from developing periodontal disease and that starts with the brushing of teeth, Johnathon Dodd, a clinical associate professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, states in a media release. "Ideally, you should brush your pet�s teeth daily,� he said.But toothpaste used by people cannot be used for pets, Dr. Dodd said. �Make sure you are using special toothpaste that is made for pets and is safe for them to swallow. They cannot spit or rinse like we do, therefore, our pets need specific kinds of toothpaste that is not harmful if ingested.�Pet toothbrushes and toothpaste, which usually coming in different flavors, can be purchased at veterinary offices and pet retail stores. Pets also should have their teeth annually cleaned and examined by a professional, Dr. Dodd said.�Most veterinary clinics should offer dental cleaning services, but if they do not they can refer you to someone who does,� he said.Certain dog treats also promote good dental help, Dr. Dodd said. �The right kind of treat should crumble, be easily crushed, and contain chlorhexadine or a hydrogen peroxide-type additive that can help with the bacteria count in the animal�s mouth."According to the Veterinary Oral Health Council, periodontal disease - an infection resulting from the buildup of dental plaque and tartar on the surfaces of the teeth around the gums - is the most common ailment that occurs in pets. The bacteria in plaque irritates the gum tissue, which can lead to infection in the bone surrounding the teeth.More reports about dogs and oral health:Simple home remedy can add years to your pet's lifeReports about dogs and health:Try this fountain of youth for your petA wonder drug guaranteed to help your petThis formula is certain to sicken your petOnly saps let their dogs play fetch with sticksFor pets, there's a rash of trouble in the airAlarming rise in heartworm a threat to petsThe flu bug can bite your dog, tooPurebred dogs needlessly suffering, report saysDog heart medicine research results promisingCushing's drug receives FDA approvalParalyzing diseases of dogs, people linkedWarning issued about alternative medicineMore reports about dogs and healthReports about dogs and flea, tick control:Pet deaths prompt tougher rules for flea, tick itemsUse of flea, tick products a must despite EPA warningStop ticks from dogging - or killing - your petYour dog may have you sleeping with thousands of fleasGet pets ready for invasion of blood-sucking insectsReports about dogs and cancer:Major breakthrough in canine cancer treatmentFirst-ever canine cancer drug developedMaking strides in fight against canine cancerWorldwide effort to cure canine cancerThe condition usually causes bad breath, painful irritated gums that can lead to bleeding and loss of appetite, and the loss of teeth.

U.S. Women Honored as USOC Team of the Month
Bill Kauffman
Associate Director, Communications
Phone: 719-228-6800
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Sept. 12, 2011) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team has been named the United States Olympic Committee's (USOC) Team of the Month for August. In addition, Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) finished third in voting for USOC Female Athlete of the Month.
The U.S. Women won the 2011 FIVB World Grand Prix, the premier annual women's international volleyball tournament, to defend its title from a year ago. Team USA defeated top-ranked Brazil in three sets in the gold-medal match on Aug. 28. The Americans finished the preliminary round with an 8-1 record and in second-place in the 16-team tournament. During the FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round, the U.S. Women swept Japan and Italy in pool play before a four-set loss to Brazil as both teams had already secured semifinal berths. Team USA topped Serbia 3-0 in the semifinal round before its 26-24, 25-20, 25-21 victory over Brazil in the gold-medal match. The Americans, ranked second in the world by the FIVB, won 10 of its 14 tournament matches in straight sets with an overall 12-2 record. Along with its victory over No. 1 Brazil, the U.S. posted two victories each over No. 4 Japan, No. 5 Italy and No. 6 Serbia.
The U.S. roster that competed in the FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round included middle blockers Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.), Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.), Christa Harmotto (Hopewell, Pa.) and Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.). Outside hitters were Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.), Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.), Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) and Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah). Setters were Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) an Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.), while opposites were Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) and Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa). The libero were Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) and Tama Miyashiro (Kaneohe, Hawaii).
Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) serves as the head coach for the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team and his assistants are Karch Kiraly (San Clemente, Calif.), Paula Weishoff (Irvine, Calif.) and Jamie Morrison (Dana Point, Calif.). Jill Wosmek is the athletic trainer for the team, while Ken Sullivan (Laguna Beach, Calif.) served as the team leader for the FIVB World Grand Prix.
"As a team, it is a great honor to be recognized among so many great teams representing their country," said Tamas, the U.S. captain. "We have been working so hard this year as we progress toward our goal of qualifying for the Olympic Games. To be recognized by both the USOC and fans in the voting process makes this progress we are making really special."
Hooker was named the most valuable player of the 2011 FIVB World Grand Prix. She finished the FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round with 101 points for second in overall scoring. She totaled 90 kills, eight blocks and three aces, according to official FIVB stats. Hooker also ranked fourth in Best Spiker with a 42.1 kill percent (90 kills on 214 attacks), 11th in Best Blocker with 0.44 blocks per set and 13th in Best Server with -.17 aces per set. The Final Round consisted of three pool play matches, the semifinals and medal matches.
During the entire tournament counting the nine preliminary round matches, Hooker totaled 228 points (199 kills, 21 blocks, 8 aces). She converted 44.3 percent of her attacks with a .356 hitting efficiency.
"I give all the credit to my teammates," Hooker said in reference to earning the most valuable player award at the FIVB World Grand Prix. "My individual awards and honors do not mean as much to me in comparison as to how well our team does. The main outcome was winning the World Grand Prix for the second year in a row. As a team, we played well all the way to the end. In the end it was nice to have revenge wins versus Serbia and Brazil after losing to them earlier in four sets."
The U.S. Women's National Team is currently in Caguas, Puerto Rico, getting set to compete in the 2011 NORCECA Women's Continental Championship. The top two teams in the nine-team tournament advance to the FIVB World Cup, which is the first 2012 Olympic Games qualification event with the three podium finishers earning tickets to London. After a bye in Pool B on Sept. 12, the U.S. opens competition against Canada on Sept. 13 at approximately 8:10 p.m. Puerto Rico Time (5:10 p.m. Pacific Time) with the time being adjusted due to local television. The Americans conclude pool play against Trinidad & Tobago on Sept. 14 at 4 p.m. Puerto Rico Time (1 p.m. Pacific Time). The top two pool winners advance directly to the semifinal round on Sept. 16, while the three second-place teams join the third-best pool winner in the quarterfinal round on Sept. 15. The final classifications will be take place on Sept. 17.
Track athlete Carmelita Jeter was named the USOC Female Athlete of the Month as she ran a time of 10.90 seconds to win gold in the women's 100-meter at the IAAF World Championships in Daegu, South Korea. She also won silver in the 200 and gold in the 4x100 relay.
For the USOC Athlete and Team of the Month, each National Governing Body may nominate one female, one male and one team per discipline. A voting panel selects the winners from the pool of nominees, with online fan voting via Twitter accounting for 10 percent of the total vote.

Former Alpena lineman Cummins signs with Hanover
Christopher Cummins, a former Alpena High School lineman, recently signed with Hanover College to play football.
Cummins was a four-year player for the Wildcats with two years of varsity experience.
"I really just applied to a whole bunch of different colleges and I got a letter from the coach saying they were interested in signing me," Cummins said.
Cummins received an academic scholarship to attend Hanover. As of now, he is uncertain what role he will fill on the team. He will study kinesiology and integrating physiology in hopes of becoming a physical therapist.
Hanover College is a private college that was founded in 1827. It is located near Hanover, Ind. and is a Division 3 school. Hanover itself is a small town of just over 3,500 people, creating a personable atmosphere that likely mimics Alpena.
"The atmosphere was really good. They have a great campus and the (football) coach was a really nice guy. There were a lot of things going into (why I chose Hanover) but the atmosphere of the campus and the town were huge factors," Cummins said.
The easiest aspect of choosing Hanover College was the signing process.
"They just sent me some information on things I should do to get ready. It was this information packet on what I needed to do and the things I had to prepare in order to play for them. It was an incredibly simple process," Cummins said.
Cummins was both an offensive and defensive lineman for Alpena, though he primarily picked up time on the offensive side of the ball. He recorded 2 1/2 tackles during the 2012 season.
Hanover College has several notable alumni. Actor Woody Harrelson is perhaps the most famous person to graduate from Hanover, although various Indiana politicians and the 21st US vice president, Thomas Hendricks, are alums.

Resource officers must return
Editor, OBSERVER:
The discussion surrounding the shooting in Connecticut and putting armed officers in the schools is a good idea.
But let's go one step further. Our school systems in Chautauqua County had what we called resource officers in them if you can remember. This worked out well.
The officer presented a sense of security and, at the same time, he or she was an educator to the students and set a good example for good behavior. This approach makes more sense than a security guard, which could be viewed as very cold and insensitive.
The reason this has gone by the wayside is due to the song of we do not have enough funds in our budgets to continue this program. Like Connecticut, we can pay now or pay later.
Come on school districts and local and county governments, let us dig deep and put these programs back in full force.

From Day 45 after randomization until Day 365; d. From Day 10 of administration of study product until Day 16 (all episodes) ]
Proportion of:
- AOM episodes with nasopharyngeal (NP) culture at onset that is 1) negative; or 2) positive for penicillin (PCN) -susceptible pathogens; or 3) positive for PCN-nonsusceptible pathogens, in which the NP culture at day 12-14 yields a PCN-nonsusceptible pathogen.
- Subjects whose entry NP isolates are negative or PCN-susceptible, who become colonized with PCN-nonsusceptible pathogens.
- Cultures at non-illness visits with a PCN-nonsusceptible pathogen.
- S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae isolates at Day 12-14 that are, respectively, nonsusceptible and B-lactamase positive.

Detailed Description:
Eligible subjects will be randomized at the enrollment visit and will have a telephone call in the course of therapy, and a subsequent visit at the end of therapy. Thereafter, they will be followed through the end of the respiratory season, and their parents will be encouraged to bring their child when concerned about a potential recurrence of AOM. At each recurrence subjects will receive the treatment regimen (either standard- or reduced-duration) to which they were randomized at study entry (consistent treatment strategy).
The recruitment of eligible children with AOM of varying degrees of severity from various primary care practices in 2 separate geographic regions, i.e. Western Pennsylvania and Kentucky, representing urban, suburban and rural demographics will enhance generalizability of study findings and encourage translation to clinical practice.

"We are looking forward to next year already," she added.

Only 40% of Americans Can Get the Good Mortgages
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- To get the lowest mortgage rate available, just how good does your credit score have to be?
Try 740 and above out of a possible 850. Unfortunately, that figure, from a study by mortgage-info firm Zillow.com
Even worse, Zillow figures three in 10 Americans, those with credit scores of 620 or below, are unlikely to qualify for any mortgage at all. Zillow drew these conclusions by looking at 13 million loan quotes and more than 225,000 requests for home-purchase loans on its Mortgage Marketplace in September. The results were compared with a similar study three years earlier.
Despite improvements in the housing market, falling delinquency and foreclosure rates, slightly lower unemployment and other signs of economic improvement, that 30% rejection rate is unchanged since September 2010. Even a high down payment of 15% to 25% won't get these folks a loan.
Getting a less-than-rock-bottom rate can cost you serious money in the long run. In September, applicants with scores of 740 and above got rates averaging 4.42% for conventional 30-year fixed-rate loans. Scores from 620 to 639 qualified applicants for rates averaging 5.09%. There were so few loans approved for applicants below 620 that a meaningful average could not be calculated.
At 4.42%, a $200,000 30-year fixed-rate loan would cost $1,004 a month, with interesting totaling $161,397 over 30 years. At 5.09%, the payment would be $1,085, with total interest at $190,482.
"Your credit score is the single most important factor in determining your mortgage interest rate and monthly payment," said Erin Lantz, director of mortgages at Zillow. "To avoid any surprises when buying a home, check your credit score and report at least six months before you intend to buy to see if there are any costly inaccuracies, pay down high-balance lines of credit and make sure your bills are always paid on time."
After doing, all that , try to save more every month to make a bigger down payment. The smaller your loan compared with the home's value, the better your chances of approval. Of course, you can look for a less expensive home as well.
But what if you can get approval, but for now would be stuck with a higher rate? Would it make sense to postpone your purchase or refinance until you can nudge your credit score higher ?

Yucatan Peninsula - Land of the Maya
The Yucatan Peninsula is comprised of three Mexican states: Yucatan, Quintana Roo and Campeche and rather prides itself on being "different" from the rest of the country. Aside from its relatively flat, scrubland terrain which is in contrast to the rest of mountainous Mexico, what sets the Yucatan area apart from the rest of the country is its distinctive culture rich in Mayan origins. This notion of seperateness is a feeling shared by the people living in this region who consider themselves "yucatecos" first, and Mexican second.
The ancient Mayan heritage of the Yucatan area emerged over centuries as Maya migrated northward from Honduras and Guatamala of Central America to the present day states of Campeche & Yucatan where they dispersed throughout the peninsula. Although it is believed that the Maya were decendants of the Olmec civilization which settled and flourished in present day Tabasco area, their exact origin is not known. During their dominance of the Yucatan region, the Maya constructed more than 1,500 major cities and tradeposts such as Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Tulum, Mayapan, Edzna and Coba.
As direct decendents of the Maya, the Yucatecan people are one of Mexico's largest indignea groups. Living throughout the entire peninsula area, thier short stature, dark complexion and sculpted cheekbones are predominant features which leave no question concerning their Mayan heritage. Even though the Yucatan is widely a tourist area and Spanish as well as English is spoken by some, many Maya dialects are just as readily spoken by the locals.
Prior to the conquest, the Yucatan peninsula was alive with trading and commerce amongst Maya villages who bartered such things as fruits and honey. Following the conquest, early records of economic activity for the region indicate that only one product, sisal hemp, was grown in any abundance and exported from the Yucatan plantation owners. The long sword shaped sisal hemp leaves were used in the making of rope and mats. Then in 1869, with a US patent in place on chewing gum, chicle became a viable export as well. Chicle is actually resin from the sapodilla (Acras zapota) tree.
Economic development in the Yucatan thrived for awhile with these exports until techniques for making synthetic chicle and sisal were invented. With these synthetic replacements, the Yucatan agricultural export economy slowly declined. Today the largest industry in the Yucatan is tourism which was spawned in the 1950's as several highways finally penetrated the dense tropical jungle of the area. More recently the development of Cancun as a resort destination and the addition of airline and cruise line service, the economy of the Yucatan continues on a path of growth and modernization.

Facts Back Selling Home
Chautauqua County legislators have been bombarded recently with reasons not to sell the Chautauqua County Home.
First, the union representing the nursing home's workers tried to turn the discussion into a jobs issue – until it became apparent a clause can be written into the sale protecting jobs at the facility. Then, the union and opponents of the sale said the home should be given more time to save money in the hope it could one day be profitable. Finally, the focus turned to William Avi Rothner, the Illinois businessman who has submitted a $16.5 million proposal to buy the home. Opponents of the sale have argued Rothner will throw the home's residents out into the street or allow the quality of care to decrease so much that they wish they had been thrown into the street.
How, then, do sale opponents answer the research done recently by legislator Vince Horrigan, R-Bemus Point? In an opinion piece on Page A5 of today's edition of The Sunday Post-Journal? Horrigan shares his findings from months of discussions with people who oversee other nursing homes Rothner has purchased. Horrigan finds the quality of care at Rothner's five nursing homes generally increases after the sale, contrary to what has been claimed by sale opponents. Rather than a mass firing of employees, many of the nursing home employees have remained on the job. Most of the residents at a Rothner nursing home report no decline in care, no change in the attitudes of the staff who care for them and, in most cases, an investment in the facility to make it a more pleasant place to live.
Horrigan says he finds no reason not to sell the home to Rothner.
While opponents grasp at half-truths to convince legislators not to sell, there are a few Chautauqua County Home truths that won't change. According to Medicare rankings, the Chautauqua County Home is a rated one star out of five and still manages to lost nearly $10,000 a day. Over the last five years, $14 million in county money has been spent to keep the home solvent, with the county paying between $1.5 and $3 million every year. That money could pay for sheriff's deputies, public works projects or be given back to county residents in the form of a tax cut.
It is time to sell the Chautauqua County Home.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton signed the Memorandum of Understanding with Ukraine on Nuclear Security Cooperation on September 26, 2011.The MOU will work to prevent proliferation and to secure vulnerable nuclear materials. Secretary Clinton and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kostyantyn Gryshchenko delivered brief remarks. Secretary Clinton said:
"...Ridding the world of nuclear weapons is a priority for both of our countries. And at last year's Nuclear Security Summit, both President Yanukovych and President Obama vowed to work together to prevent proliferation and to secure all vulnerable nuclear materials. And in fact, President Yanukovych announced Ukraine's decision to get rid of all of its stocks of highly enriched uranium by March 2012, when the next Nuclear Security Summit will convene.
"The United States matched that old commitment from Ukraine with commitments of our own. We are providing Ukraine with financial and technical assistance to modernize its civil nuclear research facilities. We are helping convert those facilities so they operate on safer low enrichment uranium fuel. The United States is also building a state-of-the-art neutron source facility in Ukraine, where scientists will be able to expand their nuclear research and produce more than 50 different medical isotopes to treat cancer and other diseases. At present, these are isotopes that Ukraine must import from other countries today. The United States is committed to meet all agreed milestones for construction of the neutron source facility by March 2012 and to provide a fully operational facility by 2014.
"The Memorandum of Understanding we've just signed formalizes our intent to fully implement the commitments our presidents made last year. I think it's fair to say we've already made significant progress. Ukraine has already removed a substantial portion of its highly enriched uranium, and the United States has made progress on the neutron source facility project, and we expect to break ground in Ukraine soon. This deal is a win-win for both countries and both peoples. It provides tangible benefits for the people of Ukraine, and it makes the world safer for all people.
"On another note, this year marks the 20th anniversary of Ukraine's independence, and it gives us an opportunity to reflect on another key aspect of the strategic partnership between our nations, our joint commitment to democracy and shared values. It's not been easy to build a strong democracy from the aftermath of the Soviet collapse, but Ukraine has made significant gains. As we know, democracies are built on checks and balances, fair and impartial institutions, judicial independence, sound election laws, and an independent media and civil society.
"We believe Ukraine is on its way to achieving these goals, and we urge it to continue to press forward. We are very committed to democratic progress continuing in Ukraine. And therefore, it is vital that the government avoid any actions that could undermine democracy or the rule of law or political participation and competition. We believe that Ukraine stands at the cusp of achieving a stable, functioning democracy that will advance its prosperity and security, that will strengthen its relations with its partners and neighbors, and provide greater opportunities for Ukrainian citizens."
In closing, the Secretary said, "...I enjoy working with the foreign minister and his government, and I look forward, on behalf of the United States, to continuing our work together."

Empanadas - Beef Turnovers
The Perfect Pastry for All MealsEmpanadas, or beef turnovers, are discs of pastry packed with meat. Some turnover recipes call for all manner of fillings, but this GOYA« Empanada recipe features a delicious tomato, onion, garlic and beef mixture.
You can enjoy Empanadas as an appetizer, a main dish, or even after your main course. Use GOYA« Discos, or frozen pastry rounds, for a flaky beef turnover that will make your mouth water.
Makes 10 Empanadas
Prep time: 45 min.
Total time: 1 hr., 20 min.
1 tbsp. GOYA« Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Į lb. ground beef
Į medium yellow onion, finely chopped (about Į cup)
╝ cup GOYA« Tomato Sauce
6 GOYA« Spanish Olives Stuffed with Minced Pimientos, thinly sliced
2 tbsp. GOYA« Sofrito
1 packet Saz¾n GOYA« with Coriander and Annatto
1 tsp. GOYA« Minced Garlic or 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Į tsp. GOYA« Dried Oregano
GOYA« Ground Black Pepper, to taste
1 package (14 oz.) GOYA« Discos (Yellow or White), thawed
GOYA« Corn Oil, for frying
|Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, about 10 minutes. Add onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes more. Stir in tomato sauce, olives, Sofrito, Saz¾n, garlic, oregano and black pepper. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture thickens, about 15 minutes.
|On a lightly floured work surface, using a rolling pin, roll out discos until Įö larger in diameter. Spoon about 1 tbsp. meat mixture into middle, fold in half to form a half moon; moisten edges with water and pinch to seal closed, or seal with a fork.
|Fill a deep saucepan with oil to a depth of 2Įö. Heat oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking (350░F on deep-fry thermometer). Cook Empanadas in batches until crisp and golden brown, flipping once, 4 ¢ 6 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

Crispy Empanadas, guaranteed!
If you donÆt have a deep-fry thermometer, you can still estimate the temperature of the oil. HereÆs how: place the handle of your wooden spoon, or a wooden chopstick, into the oil. If a steady stream of bubbles emerge from the wood, the oil is perfect. (If the oil starts rapidly bubbling, or if few bubbles are present, then the oil is too hot or too cold, respectively.)

In Pictures: A Look Back on 2012
by Nickel & Nickel on December 28, 2012
An abundant harvest and special events, from private parties to wine club sponsored events, made 2012 a full, rewarding year. Stand-out occasions include our annual Futures event, the Bacchanalia dinner, V Foundation Wine Celebration, Cabernet Release Day and our inaugural Harvest Party.
Here are just a few images from the year.

Each spring brings bright splashes of color to the Nickel & Nickel landscape.
A tremendous swath of flowers ran the length of the property along Highway 29 all summer long. Travelers frequently stopped to capture the view on their cameras. Landscape Designer Daniel Townsend wrote about the special mix of flowers here. (photo by Robb McDonough)
Our first video with Chef Trevor Eliason featured a recipe and wine pairing. Take a look at the video here!

What a pleasure it is to celebrate our newest vintage with our friends and wine club members! This year, we released 13 single-vineyard Cabernets.
Wishing you a very happy New Year! See you in 2013.

I wish today i can be a prison guard at Attica so i can take my billy-club and beat the ever loving crap out of the scumbag known as Mark David Chapman. To think, that fat piece of crap has enjoyed 22 years of breathing and eating. You know there will come a day in the next ten years when the sob will be released - I don't think anybody in NY state has served more than 30 years for Murder not even for killing cops and judges - So, some-day when he's in his early 50's - the scumbag will get out...Can't wait to see him on Larry King and other talkshows hawking his new book -
So, think about that the next time you ponder the death penalty. Shouldn't we just have easily killed the scumbag? Isn't that proof enough for you that we desperately need the death penality - the sob will be free to film his interview with Diane Sawyer when he gets out right near the Dakota.
If this happened in Europe - the scumbag would have been released just like the maniac who stabbed George Harrison.
To Chapman from the members of this forum: "You should die, scumbag". [:(!][:(!]

Sequester cuts a worry as tourist season nears
Federal budget cuts due to the ongoing "sequestration" could throw a wet blanket on the summer tourist season in the Upper Peninsula – damaging the area's economy and limiting opportunities for outdoor fun.
The U.S. Forest Service is considering closing 670 campgrounds, trailheads and picnic sites around the country during peak use season this spring and summer to put the agency in line with the automatic budget cuts that went into effect in March.
A U.S. Department of Agriculture communique announced specific cuts affecting national forests and grasslands were still being determined, but said closures of recreation sites would "result in loss of the opportunity for as many as 1.6 million visitors to national forests, harming the economies of remote rural communities that depend on recreation dollars."
The U.P will certainly be among the areas hit – the peninsula has about 70 Forest Service camping areas in the Hiawatha and Ottawa national forests. Popular campgrounds like AuTrain Lake, Petes Lake, Brevort Lake, Haymeadow Creek, Triangle lakes and the Indian River Canoe Trail could be affected.
The $1.2 trillion across-the-board budget cuts will also impact National Park Service properties like Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Alger County. Campgrounds on National Park Service land are expected to remain open this summer, but a staff cutback will result in closure of the Munising Falls Visitor Center for the season.
No one ever intended the sequestration cuts to take effect. They were supposed to be so arbitrary and draconian that they'd scare Congress into doing its job – passing a budget. The idea didn't work, and now we're seeing the results: cutbacks to things like small airport air traffic control towers and remote campgrounds. These cuts make very little sense when small cost savings are weighed against the harm done to rural areas.
We hope the Forest Service and Park Service strive to make these cuts as painless as possible – by preserving access to the most popular recreational sites and keeping as many campgrounds open for the summer as possible – even if they must reduce staff levels.
And we're hopeful that the budget cuts don't hit our region disproportionately. A few campground closures won't ruin the economy, but they won't make anyone's summer happier, either.

Skip to comments.Anti-Gun Senator Shoots Intruder (2011)
Posted on 01/09/2013 4:55:53 PM PST by Nachum
Anti-Gun Senator Shoots Intruder
State Senator R.C. Soles (D - NC) Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City, N.C. about 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician's home county said.
The intruder, Kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital, but the injuries were not reported to be life-threatening, according to Rex Gore, district attorney for Columbus, Bladen andBrunswick counties.
The State Bureau of Investigation and Columbus County Sheriff's Department are investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was not arrested,declined to discuss the incident Sunday evening. "I am not in a position to talk to you," Soles said by telephone. "I'm right in the middle of an investigation." The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership for the general public, didn't hesitate to defend himself with his own gun when he believed he was in immediate danger and he was the victim. In typical hypocritical liberal fashion, the "Do as I say and not as I do" Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his gun and took action in what apparently was a self-defense shooting. Why hypocritical you may ask? It is because his long legislative record shows that the actions that he took to protect his family, his own response to a dangerous life threatening situation, are actions that he feels ordinary citizens should not have if they were faced with an identical situation.
It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life and personal safety is more valuable than yours or mine. But, this is to be expected from those who believe they can run our lives, raise our kids, and protect our families better than we can.
Why didn't he just call 911?
Liberals are not good shots!
Of course he is more important than we are. All lib anti-gunners are the same.
Sorry, all libs are the same. The LAWS DON'T APPLY TO THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPERIOR HUMAN BEINGS.
Ask Mayor Bloomberg. He is surrounded by and travels with a privatearmy but we can't have guns.
Guns for me but not for thee! I think it is obvious that he believes his life is more valuable than ours, that is why it is ok for him to have a gun.
Of course he is more important than we are. All lib anti-gunners are the same.
Sorry, all libs are the same. The LAWS DON'T APPLY TO THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPERIOR HUMAN BEINGS.
Ask Mayor Bloomberg. He is surrounded by and travels with a privatearmy but we can't have guns.
"It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life and personal safety is more valuable than yours or mine."
I think that is part of the definition of "politician". "Those who know better tha us" can't be expected to be bound by the same laws with which they plague us.
"... the actions that he took to protect his family, his own response to a dangerous life threatening situation, are actions that he feels ordinary citizens should not have if they were faced with an identical situation."
What makes ME less of an American citizen than he is and what makes him think he is not just as 'ordinary' as I am?
This is the arrogance of perceived power. PERCEIVED power that he only has by the will of those OTHER 'ordinary' people who voted for him. And THAT is what they had better ALL remember and think about. Often.
Note that this event was in early 2011. Wonder what the follow up was? Doubtful he changed his position.
What, did you think gun control was supposed to apply to the political class?
For years the biggest gun grabber in CA was Don Perata (D-Oakland), who admitted he had an AR-15 and a concealed carry permit.
The Perp should sue, the house was supposed to be a Gun Free Zone and safe.
These damn hypocrites. If they were capable of any shame, they would blush. I'm not counting on this old fart to protect me.
The story is mostly true except the senator was not a virulent antigun zealot. He was not a strong advocate of gun rights either, but the guy was hardly portrayed accurately.
Silly rabbit, you're not allowed to sue DemocRAT politicians. Besides, you'll get audited by the IRS too.
Soles' decision not to run for re-election again may have been influenced by an August 2009 incident in which Soles shot 22-year-old Kyle Blackburn in the leg, claiming that he had fired in self-defense after Blackburn and another young man trespassed on his property and attempted to kick in his door. In February 2010, Soles pled guilty to a misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon charge:
The 75-year-old claim[ed] he shot Blackburn in self defense after Blackburn and 23-year-old Billie Wright kicked at his door. Soles faced charges of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. Blackburn has since recovered from the shooting.
During the trial, the state used a 40-minute surveillance tape taken at Soles' home during the time of the shooting as evidence. The state said Blackburn, Wright, and a woman spent more than an hour trespassing on the senator's property, drinking alcohol before kicking the door.
Soles' attorney, Joe Chesire, said the state gave a fair account of what happened the night of the shooting, and that the senator wanted to take responsibility for his actions. He will pay more than $1,000 in court costs.
Old article. Copped a plea bargain.
Shooting by Soles ends in plea, fine
Okay. Now I'm confused. This didn't happen in England, did it?
Snopes is nothing but personal opinion of 2 left wingers.
This guy was into lots of questionable stuff. And he even looks like Sandusky, if you catch the parallel.
Do a search on him and look at the many stories put out by the local media in NC.
A short time before the shooting.........
Why didnt he just try to reason with the intruder, try to get his point of view and find out how the system screwed him over..after all that is the liberal philosophy, everyone has been screwed by the man
Self defense for MEEEEEE but not for theeeee, peon!!!!
That's the unkindest cut of all. We deserve what we elect.
I do, however, believe that the election was stolen by election fraud - not only by DNC Counsel Bob Bauer submitting what he knew to be fraudulent Certifications of Nomination to get Obama on the state ballots, but also by falsely-cast (or falsely-counted) votes in critical places.
I think there are a lot of people who would like to fix the vulnerabilities in our system, but I think what is clogging things up is Congress, the media which owns them, and the Soros who owns the media (including so-called "conservative" media).
When push comes to shove, if we allow a criminal like Soros to own our whole system, then we all probably deserve the crap we get. I'm just sick of living in this cowpie. Something's gotta give.
Some are more equal than others.
Perp v Anti gun senator. I root for the perp.
Same hypocrites that hire armed security, send their children to schools that have armed security...they do think they are more important, it's the "little people" that should not have firearms.
When they poutlaw guns the Senators and the House will be exempt, Just like they are exempt from Obamacare.
Why ask? Of COURSE his life is more important and valuable than yours and mine. In his mind.
Yeah I was wondering why this two year old story is being put here under the guise of just being reported on.
