Flood Risk Register
In 2010, the Government passed a new Act, the Flood and Water Management Act, which identifies a Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) to establish and maintain a register of structures or features which, in the opinion of the authority, are likely to have a significant effect on a flood risk in its area.
LLFAs arrange for the register to be available for inspection at all reasonable times. The Act allows discretion for LLFAs to determine what they consider to be "significant" and how they go about implementing this.
Hampshire County Council is currently compiling its Flood Risk Register. At this stage it contains mainly information on assets owned by the County Council. It will be expanded to cover other relevant assets during the coming months and will be continually updated as a 'living' register of assets.

USA Field Hockey Weekly Report-Week of March 25, 2013
USA Field Hockey Weekly Report-Week of March 25, 2013
The Retiring Season It seems odd, but apparently it really isn't. Late last week we announced the retirement of another athlete from our Women's National Team. Kayla Bashore-Smedley officially announced her retirement. She joins in retirement Keli Smith-Puzo, Amy Swensen and Jesse Gey. On the men's side, we have seen Patrick Cota, Shawn Nakamura and Jarred Martin hang up their sticks from national team play in the last year. It is a bit of a scary proposition as we go forward and begin losing many of the most familiar names we know in hockey. But, we also recognize that, as with all people, everyone needs to get underway with a next phase in their life eventually.
I thought it interesting as we reviewed this circumstance that at the end of the Beijing Olympic Games quad we also saw a bit of an exodus take place. The exodus was such in that time frame that we only had six women's national team players in place as we proceeded toward London. It is not as bereft this time around and hope abounds as we have developed a new high performance team and the athletes are truly excited. Insofar as men, we have introduced a vastly new crew of athletes and are working hard to provide appropriate living stipends, educational and career opportunities to prepare them for their life course. The approach with both the men's and women's teams is to provide a whole experience not totally based on athletic careers but to also develop an athlete based culture with an orientation toward winning. But, just to be really clear…and to help manage expectations….we are looking at long term success. We are now in the growing years and expect to see success albeit in a measured manner. We have superb high performance people, wonderfully gifted athletes, and a set of tremendous support staff. Our Board of Directors and staff are totally supportive of our pathway, and I hope you will be as well as we set our goals and hitch our hopes to the stars of our future.
Commentary from a guy Recently we asked a number of boys/men to comment on: What has this sport done for you? Where did it take you? Did this sport have a positive effect upon your life? Did it put a smile on your face to play? Below and answering those questions is commentary from JaJa Kentwell, a Business Major at the University of Delaware and a super athlete:
Not only have I had the chance to travel to all corners of the earth, I've also had the pleasure of meeting so many great people along the way. Field Hockey has given me the opportunity to develop as an athlete, but more importantly as a person. The single most important thing I've learned through my travels is that nobody has it figured out. No matter the culture, age, or the amount of wealth, people pretend everything is okay and hide the truth from themselves; in reality, everyone has problems they have to deal with. I use to think that all problems need to be solved, and I was wrong. There won't always be a solution to your problem, sometimes finding the best way to deal with a problem is the best solution. Without Field Hockey, I wouldn't have had the chance to travel to so many different places, without those chances, I wouldn't have learned so much about how to handle certain situations throughout different stages of my life. When I look back on my first travel experience, I smile not because it taught me so much, I smile because there are so much more to come.
To JaJa, hockey is not just a sport, but a broad-based opportunity to learn how to deal with all sorts of challenges as they present themselves throughout life. Thanks to JaJa for his thoughts.
The Nook Update The Nook in Lancaster, PA, which is the future USA Field Hockey Home of Hockey, opened last weekend on a limited basis for its first sport tournament. The facility is a multi-sport venue. The first event was a volleyball tournament in which 3,000 athletes were attracted. Only 3,000 were permitted due to limited restroom and other support facilities (which really illustrates how big the facility will eventually end up being). Overall, all went well and The Nook's owner, Sam Beiler, was quite pleased. We are still on schedule for a move involving our USA Field Hockey Women's National Team to take place in August of this year. The team recently was involved with The Nook's architectural firm in designing all aspects of the team facilities including locker, training, video-review, strength and conditioning, other sport science, and medical service rooms within the dedicated USA Field Hockey complex on The Nook campus. From all indications, Sam's schedule for the opening of the various stages of the development of The Nook are still in place and the entire complex looks magnificent.
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (bonus week):
"There's talk that "Today" show host Matt Lauer is the top choice to replace Alex Trebek when he leaves "Jeopardy." Or as Alex Trebek put it, "Who is Matt Lauer?"
"U.S. officials have revealed that America is ready to launch cyber-attacks of its own. We have a program that can totally crash someone's computer. It's called "Microsoft Windows."
Have a great week!!

What I'd really like is something more along the lines of a probe meat thermometer - something with a component that stays in the oven with a wire connecting it to a digital readout outside of the oven.
I use a Maverick remote by Maverick industries.
Can you tell me what model you have? I checked the website, and they've got a couple gajillion different thermometers. I didn't see any oven thermometers with remote readouts.
I have the ET 732. Check around cause prices vary.
Sadly, the two sensors that come with it only go up to 250C, so I'd have to buy special sensors separately,
They run $10-$20.
I got one of these from Cooper Atkins:http://techinstrumentation.com/products/2225%252d20-Flange-Mount-Pizza-Oven-Thermometer-with-Dual-Scale.html

The next generation in cork flooring. Elegant and sophisticated, quiet, soft and warm. Easy to care for and maintain. Durable and environmentally friendly.
Cork's natural beauty and comfort will create surprisingly beautiful and elegant spaces.
The insulation properties of cork will reduce sound transmission and temperature variation, creating a more intimate atmosphere.
Easy and fast to install, cork floating floors are perfect for residential and light commercial applications. They bring natural warmth and comfort to your environment.
Cork Floating planks consist of a compact, high density fibreboard layer, a bonded surface layer of agglomerated cork and a layer of soft agglomerated cork backing.
The core material (substrate) is tongue and groove with the licensed UNICLIC® flooring system to allow the panels to be assembled without the use of glue.
The unique installation mechanism of Uniclic Locky System Cork Flooring means that installing this flooring is extremely easy. Uniclic Cork Floating flooring has technologically advanced systems for easy and perfect installation so laying your cork flooring can be achieved with a single click and there is no need to use any sort of glue.
Cork is the outer bark of the cork oak tree, which grows mainly in the Mediterranean region of the world.
These trees have a lifespan of about 200 years. Each cork tree must be 20 to 25 years old before it can provide its first harvest of cork. After extracting the cork a new layer starts regenerating. Nine years must to pass before the next harvest can take place
"If the economic value of forests is not maintained, cork areas will be abandoned, threatening more fires and desertification, as well as job losses" Paolo Lombardi, Director, WWF Mediterranean Programme
The cork oak remains the only tree whose bark can regenerate itself after harvest, leaving the tree unharmed. It is truly, a renewable environmentally friendly resource. This exceptional ability to shed its bark makes cork a naturally sustainable product By purchasing cork products, we contribute to the preservation of the cork oak forests.
A typical tree produces several hundred kilograms of cork at each harvesting and will survive for many generations. The cork harvesting is made in a sustainable manner and does not harm the tree which is never cut down or removed.

Consider yourself lucky to live here
I want to thank you all for being patient with me as I've never been a columnist before. I feel like something is sprouting in my life, and sprouts are always glad of the support that keeps the "true leaves" from being squashed or devoured by ravenous bunnies.
So much to talk about since last month – my dad and I finished restoring the part of the barn for my first flock of hens (with the invaluable help from Uncle Fred's manpower and consultation, Cousin Barry's sturdy locust posts and Uncle Herb helped all the way from Wisconsin, because he gave my dad the miter saw; my landlord for being a good man and my neighbor for stopping over to see our project unfold). My fiance and I, bonding in our trepidation, drove up Hurlburt in Forestville to get our hens from the brilliant and convivial couple who run Roo Haven Farm.
I was pleased to see a rooster up close standing guard over the hens. This is their dancing rooster, stunning as an Appalachian Mountaintop (before they're bombed to fuel electricity, each precious megawatt being a little more dead mountain, spent to play television shows filled with rude jerks – don't even get me started). Roosters have an impressive stature and an admirable sense of dignity.
We got them home from the farm in my coffee table I flipped over and rigged up with hardware cloth using J-Clips and nails (I'm learning my MacGyver skills from my dad). I named the chubbier one with a spunky personality, "Henny Boo Boo." Watching them puts you into chicken hypnosis. They seem to be always moving in synchrony as one larger organism in communication with individual parts, orbiting like stars around the feeder.
There's Suzie and Shady (black and white stripes, vibrant red combs) and there's Helga and Hennybooboo (shades of luscious browns and black scalloping like a Victorian rich lady) and finally, Pearl and Whinny the mostly white with a smattering of black scallop and smear markings, of the Delaware breed.
I could go on about chickens for a long time and I will in the future but for now, it's time to buckle down and talk about the inspiration for my column, a 78-year-old Kentucky farmer named Wendell Berry. You see, after high school I wandered through community college and Fredonia State, then, too racked with social anxiety to be in a classroom at all, I switched to the online courses that come from Empire State, in the Pucci building.
I dabbled in electives of every variety, hoping something would speak to me. I got in debt, that like many in my generation, I'm finding hard to pay back – all to discover that my path lay outside of the industrial career track. Nevertheless, I took a course that changed my life; it was about thinking about the significance of places, specifically the place you are from.
That's when I first read Berry – an essayist, poet, novelist, and farmer. It was an unmistakable turning point as it was a meaty response to the question at the root of doing anything at all – the reason I went to further education – why am I alive and what am I going to do about it?
You see, I had misspent years moping around majorly depressed. I'm trying to make up for lost time, now that I see that life is a miracle. It's something you have to feel for yourself, so powerful it makes you identify the plants around your house, taste the edible ones, make jelly of the black locust blossoms, peel the skin of staghorn sumac with your fingers to chew the sweet green shoot, boil up some burdock root, and make a salad of dandelions. I have entered such a vibrant state of love for Chautauqua County, I want to taste it.
This is how enthusiastic a simple life, rich with affection, feels. I endorse it, because I know how bad it is when you're disconnected. Worth the effort. A little every day, think about what you love here. You know, I was aiming this column at preparing us for the times of ration, no doubt ahead for this country, but I took a ride as late spring turned to early summer here, and it's hard to stay stern with everything green and robust again, people everywhere – we're looking prosperous and unshakeable.
We can convince more and more young people to stay and settle here, be part of a continuity of the land's memory and lessons here. We need to protect not only our main streets but also outskirts and exit ramps from becoming wholly indistinguishable from all the other places in modern America. What is rare is precious; what we have is getting rarer all the time; we must treat it as precious as it is. For the physical health of the coming generations, the beauty of what is specific and authentic and what is rooted in a community with a memory and space for the growing of one's character and spirit.
Imagine our backroads where you come up to the top of a hill and are dwarfed by the blue sky on the horizon and a swelling rise of a meadow bathed in honey light, and you see a weather-worn lean-to and an Irish dexter calf with big dark doe-like eyes, in the luscious pasture, you smell woodsmoke that reminds you of someone you loved as a child, maples tapped for syrup and making a sweet breeze on a humid afternoon. You might see any kind of unbelievable sight when you reach a hilltop. I defy you to describe heaven any more desirable than what we have right here.
Berry doesn't advocate a mandatory one-size-fits all policy solution; he speaks to the heart of matters in a reasonable voice of a dignified man, who offers to individuals the ideas that may translate to their life. And I wanted to share him with you.

I got the 2stone pizza grill to use with my weber genesis and couldn't be happier. It adds another dimension to my pizza making and am very happy with it. I included a picture of a std Lehman dough 58% hydration. Cali gold moz, Boars Head pepperoni, and Red Nov sauce.I do have some questions that Willard or others may be able to help with.1) My last pie I accidentally punctured and cheese went through to the stone. What is the best method to clean this up?2) Temp control, when I bake multiple pies by the third one the bottoms are burning fast. Is there a way to control the temp in between pies in order to maintain around a specific temp. For an individual pie I have been heating up till the stone gets to 630 with the top stone 580-600. cut the burners back to about half power and then make and dress the pizza. Then the temp is usually around 650 which is nice. But when doing lots of pies i can't get the temp to stay in that range.3) When I cook at higher temps 750-800. The pie is cool when I take it out and eat it. Can't figure it out, pizza comes out piping hot , but when I eat it the cheese is just luke warm no chance of burning the roof of my mouth.4) Is there a way to stretch the dough so it holds the size. When I stretch out the dough and put it on a screen it holds it size. But if I put it on a peel to put directly on the stone is starts shrinking up. I have had a 14 inch dough end up being less than 10inches after baking.Any help would be greatly appreciated.-Speedy
I use the Chris Bianco method, form the disc on the peel, dress it completely & then pull the sides & top & bottom so that the pie is @ the edge of the peel.Matt
Since baking stones are porous they absorb moisture. Moisture turns to steam at 212°F. If the moisture is forced out of the stone too quickly it can develop cracks. This is why a slow, gradual temperature increase is so important.Even if we predried the stone at the factory it would pick up moisture during shipment to you. To ensure there was a nominal amount of moisture in the stone the predrying process would have to be repeated.
If you store the baking stone outdoors it must be covered to protect it from the weather. If its stored outside for prolonged periods its best to bring the baking stone up to temperature slowly.

Didja ever want to fly?????????Posted Tuesday, August 7, 2012, at 9:48 PM
Here on Earth, a lot of times I feel the closest I get to Heaven, is on my horse. It's always been that way for me, and I know a few girls that feel the same. I know men love their horses too, but honestly, I feel that somehow it's different for a girl, .... whether she is a little girl, or a grown woman girl. I can forgot a multitude of whatever issues might be going on my life. On a beautiful day, of course, it's a beautiful day. On an extremely hot and miserable day, it's still a beautiful day.... on a bitter bitingly cold day, it's obviously, still a beautiful day. While horseback, I am never as hot, or cold, as I might otherwise be.
I haven't managed to ride as much this summer, as some summers... as I managed to be sick for the first month or so. Though I will say, I still managed to get some rides in, and didn't feel as sick while horseback, go figure....
This blog is about how I know young girls feel while jumping.... talk about the feeling of flying! This is one of Jilly back on Mother's Day. I've shown it before, but it just bears repeating.
This one I've shown before too..... again, it bears repeating....
Jilly wasn't old enough to be in the Fair this year, but she sure will be next year. And obviously, I can't wait!
Neither can she....
I'm so proud of Al, that it gives me Goosebumps. She did the English and Jumping classes at the Fair this year, and was the only one to go over ALL the jumps. (of all ages) This deserves a little bragging!
Here she is doing a bit of warm up. They look pretty awesome huh?
Yep, that's my kids there. I feel so blessed to have them under my wings.... and to let them have wings of their own. How do you suppose this young girl feels when she's flying over these jumps, on this huge horse? The trust these two have together is amazing, and really can not be described.
In this photo, they are coming head on towards me, and I swear that horse is looking at me as if to say "Look Mom, I'm doing it! I'm doing good! I'm a GOOD BOY!"
Remember now, that Al is 11 years old. And don't think for a minute, that it's not pretty scary. When those horses power up over a jump, so much can change in an instant.
My Mom and Dad have been to about as many Elmore County Fairs as I have. My Dad has run the gate and kept records for my groups... cooked... cheered.... and supported all the kids in our club over the years. And he still does. For these photos, he has walked all the way down from the bleachers to give Al a hug and tell her how well she did, and how proud he is of her. I didn't see him in time to get a photo of the hug, but here is what I got.
I don't want to claim to have the only amazing jumpers.... as there were several pretty spectacular jumps!
This is the young girl that saved her brother's life a few months ago, after he had an accident with his horse. Pretty darn proud of her too!
So, have YOU ever wanted to fly? It's possible, right here on Earth.

I used to gallop bareback on Johnny Hawk. It felt like flying. He never hesitated for a jump either.

Thanks much! Yes traveling would be a complication.
We have horses, dogs and cattle so we obviously don't leave home for long. And we must make detailed arrangements when we do. My daughter in law is a pro care taker for us.
And she takes payment in steak!

I am interested in this Community, County, and the beautiful state of Idaho. Most of my photos will be in Idaho, but from time to time, they will be my vacations aay from Idaho. You'll see lots of my Children and Grand children, along with others in my family. Of course there will be horses and horse related things, and things I photo'd horseback.

Lawmakers: Budget to have middle class rebates
ALBANY (AP) – Legislative leaders say they and Gov. Andrew Cuomo plan to provide $350 rebates to middle class families as part of the state budget.
The tax rebates would go to families with a household income of $40,000 to $300,000, with one or more children. Cuomo and legislative leaders continue to negotiate final elements of the budget.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Sens. Jeffrey Klein and Dean Skelos say the new element to the budget still being negotiated is widely supported in the closed-door discussions.

Crew Signs Lampson
The Columbus Dispatch - December 15, 2011 10:19 AM
The Columbus Crew has signed keeper Matt Lampson to a mult-year contract, the team announced today in a press release. Lampson is the second Homegrown Player to sign with the team.
"This is a dream come true," Lampson said in a release. "It has been amazing to me because I grew up a Crew fan and, as a youth player, your goal is always to play professionally and to be able to play for your hometown team. This is just an incredible feeling. I can't wait to put on the Crew jersey and work with great guys like (keepers) Will (Hesmer) and Andy (Gruenebaum) and (coach) Robert (Warzycha), and do whatever I can to help the team."
Lampson is a native of Hilliard, Ohio, and graduated from St. Charles Prep before signing with Northern Illinois. He redshirted and then transferred to the Buckeyes, appearing in 56 matches and posting a 0.86 goals-against average and 24 shutouts. The latter figure is second-best in OSU history.
In 2008, Lampson was the starting keeper for the Crew Soccer Academy U-17/18 team shortly after completing treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma that remains in remission. That team finished third at the Development Academy National Finals.
By Major League Soccer rules, a team may sign a player to his first pro contract without making him pass through the MLS SuperDraft if he has trained for at least one year in the club's youth development program and has met league criteria. The first Home Grown player to sign with the Crew was Aaron Horton, a Lewis Center native who joined the organization in May.
"Matt is big, athletic goalkeeper who commands his box very well," Warzycha said. "He is confident and had great success at the collegiate level. Because he is a member of our system and played at Ohio State, we have been able to closely monitor his development and he has continued to improve and grow as a player. We are very happy to welcome him to the first team."
I will have more later this afternoon.

Testbed and Methods
We are going to investigate the performance of our EVGA GeForce GTX 285 SSC graphics card using the following testbed:
- Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition processor (3.2GHz, 6.4 GT/s QPI);
- Asus P6T Deluxe mainboard (Intel X58 Express chipset);
- Corsair XMS3-12800C9 (3x2GB, 1333MHz, 9-9-9-24, 2T);
- Maxtor MaXLine III 7B250S0 HDD (250GB, Serial ATA-150, 16MB buffer);
- Enermax Galaxy DXX EGX1000EWL 1000W power supply;
- Dell 3007WFP monitor (30", 2560x1600@60Hz max display resolution);
- Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit;
- ATI Catalyst 8.12 for ATI Radeon HD;
- Nvidia GeForce 181.20 WHQL for Nvidia GeForce.
The graphics card drivers were configured in the same way as before: to provide the highest possible quality of texture filtering and to minimize the effect of default software optimizations. We enabled transparent texture filtering, and we used multisampling mode for both graphics architectures, because ATI solutions do not support supersampling for this function. As a result, our ATI and Nvidia driver settings looked as follows:
ATI Catalyst:
- Smoothvision HD: Anti-Aliasing: Use application settings/Box Filter
- Catalyst A.I.: Standard
- Mipmap Detail Level: High Quality
- Wait for vertical refresh: Always Off
- Enable Adaptive Anti-Aliasing: On/Quality
- Other settings: default
Nvidia GeForce:
- Texture filtering – Quality: High quality
- Texture filtering – Trilinear optimization: Off
- Texture filtering – Anisotropic sample optimization: Off
- Vertical sync: Force off
- Antialiasing - Gamma correction: On
- Antialiasing - Transparency: Multisampling
- Multi-display mixed-GPU acceleration: Multiple display performance mode
- Set PhysX GPU acceleration: Enabled
- Other settings: default
We made a lot of changes to the list of games and benchmarks we normally use for our tests in order to meet the contemporary standards. As a result, it currently includes the following titles:
First-Person 3D Shooters
- Call of Duty: World at War
- Crysis Warhead
- Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
- Far Cry 2
- Left 4 Dead
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky
Third-Person 3D Shooters
- Dead Space
- Devil May Cry 4
- Prince of Persia
- Fallout 3
- Mass Effect
- Race Driver: GRID
- X³: Terran Conflict
- Red Alert 3
- World in Conflict
Semi-synthetic Benchmarks
- Futuremark 3DMark06
- Futuremark 3DMark Vantage
We selected the highest possible level of detail in each game using standard tools provided by the game itself from the gaming menu. The games configuration files weren't modified in any way, because the ordinary user doesn't have to know how to do it. We made a few exceptions for selected games if that was necessary. We are going to specifically dwell on each exception like that later on in our article.
Besides EVGA GeForce GTX 285 SSC we have also included the following graphics accelerators to participate in our test session:
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 280 (G200, 602/1296/2214MHz, 240sp, 80tmu, 32rbe, 512-bit, 1024MB GDDR3)
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 (G200b, 576/1242/2000MHz, 216sp, 72tmu, 28rbe, 448-bit, 896MB GDDR3)
- ATI Radeon HD 4850 X2 (2xRV770, 625/625/2000MHz, 1600sp, 80tmu, 32rbe, 2x256-bit, 2x1024MB GDDR3)
- ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB (RV770, 750/750/3600MHz, 800sp, 40tmu, 16rbe, 256-bit, 1024MB GDDR5)
We ran our tests in the following resolutions: 1280x1024, 1680x1050, 1920x1200 and 2560x1600. EVGA GeForce GTX 285 SSC was tested at its nominal frequencies and at the Nvidia recommended frequencies. Everywhere, where it was possible we added MSAA 4x antialiasing to the standard anisotropic filtering 16x. We enabled antialiasing from the game's menu. If this was not possible, we forced them using the appropriate driver settings of ATI Catalyst and Nvidia ForceWare drivers.
Performance was measured with the games' own tools and the original demos were recorded if possible. We measured not only the average speed, but also the minimum speed of the cards where possible. Otherwise, the performance was measured manually with Fraps utility version 2.9.8. In the latter case we ran the test three times and took the average of the three for the performance charts.

Abstract: For patients with locally advanced primary or recurrent gynecologic cancers, prognosis is poor. Doses of external beam radiation therapy required to treat either gross or microscopic disease in patients previously irradiated or treated surgically exceed doses that are tolerated by normal anatomic structures. Intraoperative radiation therapy allows maximal tumor control achievable with radiation while minimizing radiation exposure of dose-limiting surrounding structures. Intraoperative radiation therapy is a unique treatment modality, allowing direct visualization of the target volume during a planned surgical procedure. Intraoperative radiation therapy has the potential to improve both long-term local control and overall survival especially in patients with para-aortic and/or pelvic sidewall recurrences.

Nice combination of K. Is the appropriate dose to take with D3, 10,000u if you read the literature.
Really good
Posted by Reviewer2255839 on Jul 30, 2013
I like it but would like to see more vit K2 MK7 considering how expensive it is. and I mostly buy it to get the MK7 part.
Must when you use high doses of vitamin D3!
Posted by Cressie on Aug 04, 2015
This LEF product of vitamin K has a great consentrations espesially K2. It is important vitamin when you use high doses of vitamin D3. K2 moves calsium from veins to bones where it is needed and your veins stays cleaner. :) I take one capsule only three times a week so this bottle is quite affordable. I highly recommend!
Posted by 5362862896641628178 on Nov 12, 2013
you need it with the vit.D3
Great Product
Posted by priyanka on Jan 12, 2014
Nice form of vitamin k in a decent dose. I take 2/day. No need to look elsewhere, this fits the bill.
It is the best K2 available - even if it is outrageously expensive
Posted by Reviewer2631717 on Feb 11, 2015
We compared them all and this is the best formula for K2 in its menaquinone MK-7 form. We need it to combat osteoporosis along with vitamin D. One star less because of the huge price.
Good Product

NYPA Electric Trucks Help Postal Service Carry the Mail in Flushing
Brian Warner
October 26, 2005
QUEENS—Two new zero-emission electric delivery trucks have now officially joined the United States Postal Service (USPS) fleet serving the Flushing Post Office, thanks to the New York Power Authority (NYPA). These two-ton electric delivery trucks were manufactured by Azure Dynamics Corporation (Azure).
New York City Council member John Liu, District Postmaster Lily Jung Burton and NYPA Director of Public and Governmental Affairs Joseph Leary, representing Chief Operating Officer Timothy S. Carey, were on hand today as the trucks were unveiled at the Main Post Office in Flushing.
"The Postal Service continues its role as a leader in alternative fuel transportation. Our commitment to a cleaner environment, without compromise to dependable mail service, is evident by its deployment of these electric vehicles for Queens," said Burton. "We want to thank NYPA and Azure for providing dependable emission-free vehicles our use."
"Under the leadership of Governor George Pataki, New York State is vigorously working to cut dependence on imported oil through increased reliance on clean transportation technologies. These electric postal vehicles are part of that effort," said NYPA President and Chief Executive Officer Eugene W. Zeltmann.
"Electric drive vehicles are ideally suited for delivery applications in an urban environment where air quality and noise reduction affect the overall quality of life. NYPA's clean transportation program has played a prominent role delivering on Governor Pataki's commitment to introduce clean transportation alternatives," said Carey.
"The New York Power Authority and the U.S. Post Office are to be congratulated for implementing this innovative technology, which will be crucial in our post-Katrina economy. By eliminating almost 5,000 pounds of carbon dioxide and 32 pounds of nitrogen a year, each Azure CitiVan will help New Yorkers breath cleaner air and contribute to a reduction in our nation's reliance on fossil fuels," said Councilman Liu.
Councilman Liu chairs the New York City Council's Transportation Committee.
These vehicles are the first of their kind to be used in Queens and were especially sought by Councilman Liu to help address air quality concerns in Queens. NYPA has supplied funding for 30 electric delivery trucks already in service at postal facilities elsewhere in New York City.
"We are very pleased to assist the New York Power Authority and the United State Postal Service in their continuing efforts to improve the air quality in Queens" said Douglas Alderton, sales account executive, Azure. "Working with NYPA, Azure identified additional opportunities where our electric drive vehicles can continue to have a positive effect on the streets of New York."
Azure CitiVans are two-ton delivery trucks, which will replace diesel powered trucks used to transport mail and bulk packages between central distribution facilities and neighborhood post boxes serving Flushing neighborhoods.
The CitiVan has a range of 40 miles on a complete charge, with a top speed of 60 miles per hour. To improve overall energy efficiency each vehicle has regenerative braking to capture lost energy while braking. Over the course of a year each truck will eliminate about 4,833 pounds of carbon dioxide, 32 pounds of nitrogen oxide and one pound of particulate matter.
NYPA is a recognized national leader in the promotion and demonstration of electric drive technologies. With the inclusion of the new CitiVans, NYPA now has now helped place 17 electric or hybrid-electric vehicles in service in Queens and brings the total to 202 electric drive vehicles in service in New York City. Statewide, NYPA has placed over 770 vehicles at facilities such as state university colleges, local governments, community organizations, public parks and recreation areas.
NYPA is the nation's largest state-owned electric utility and provides approximately 22 percent of the state's electricity. In New York City, NYPA supplies power for municipal buildings, public schools, hospitals, subway, fire houses and police precincts.

Evolution Theater Company calls itself "a new species of theater," an appealing idea that's hard to actualize.
That is not, however, to say that the group's presentation of Tony Kushner's "The Illusion" isn't filled with strong performances and a compelling story.
Adapted from the 1636 play "L'Illusion Comique" by Pierre Corneille, "The Illusion" tells the tale of a parent seeking magical visions of the son banished years before.
Pridamant (Catherine Cryan) enlists the help of the magician Akandre (Mark Phillips Schwamberger) to check up on the son she cast off. Pridamant — usually a male character — is loud, rash and quick to point out problems in the visions that are being presented to her, although the terrific Cryan pulls it off with quiet aplomb.
The three visions, which involve her son (CJ Chapman), the woman he is attempting to romance (Lindsey Fisher) and her maid (a fantastic Sonia Bowen), may seem haphazard and confusing, especially as the characters' names keep changing, but adjusting to it reveals the play's true intentions.
The play comments on the dichotomy between fact and fiction, reality and theater. Pridamant, who is a lawyer by trade, frequently gets caught up in the small details (like why her son's name changes from Calisto to Clindor between the first two visions), without seeing the bigger picture of her son's life.
This production of "The Illusion" isn't perfect — there are odd staging choices and moments of overacting — but the story is compelling and well worth the effort.

Romantic names – Shakespeare said it best in Romeo and Juliet - "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." But then Shakespeare, generally, always says it best.
Would your favourite romantic novel be as wonderful if the heroine were Gertrude or Esmerelda? Writers spend a lot of time trying to create the perfect name for their characters. They say them out loud and often send them to their critique group to see how it goes there. The name has to have an aura – something that makes the reader know that this is the heroine.
A few romantic heroines – books and movies
Juliet – Romeo and Juliet
Anna – Anna Karina
Jane – Jane Eyre
Scarlett – Gone With the Wind
Rose – Titanic
Yes the list is short. I was ruthless in my selection. I stayed away from the sci-fi heroines (Trinity – Matrix) or the paranormal ones (Bella – Twilight).
Is it the name that is romantic or the persona of the character? Scarlett and Rose have dramatic and romantic sounds, but Jane? My apologies to any Janes reading this.
I created Julie Anderson, my character in Circles Interlocked, a long time ago. I don't remember why I picked the name, but to me the name Julie fits her perfectly. Of the numerous meanings of the name Julie, beautiful and vivacious are two which Robert would agree with.
What is the name of your favourite heroine? or What is the most romantic female name?

Rimless Frame - making the glasses nearly invisible on the face
Rimless eyeglasses offer a minimalistic look in eyewear, making your spectacles nearly invisible on the face. Lenses are joined together by the nose bridge, attached to the inside of each lens with small screws. Hinges connected in the same way to the lens edges, supporting the earpieces or arms. Plastic lenses are used in rimless eyeglasses, can also be done as sunglasses. Rimless eyeglasses are a great way to feel and look like you aren't wearing spectacles at all. They are lightweight, comfortable, and can fit any budget. Try a pair for your prescription today and you might say goodbye to traditional style frames forever.

The airplanes on the trip included a PC-12, a TBM 700, a Cessna Mustang, a Royal Beech Duke (a turboprop conversion), and a Cessna Conquest II.
There were only two reroutings due to unanticipated events, Pouille said. The biggest road block came when the group tried to enter the People's Republic of China. PRC officials denied the group entry, a setback I discussed in a previous blog, so the group forged ahead to Taiwan and South Korea.
As for mechanical problems, there were a few. The Duke needed new vacuum pumps and the PC-12's AHRS units momentarily lost its bearings in a zone of magnetic anomalies called the "South East Asian Anomaly," for example. Then its flaps malfunctioned. The biggest mechanical was with the Conquest II. Its landing gear wouldn't extend, so repairs were made–twice–in Bangkok. Bad idea. The crew had to extend the gear using the nitrogen blow-down bottle three times, and even flew one leg with gear down until additional repairs were made in Hong Kong.
But all's well that ends well. Want to go on Air journey's 2009 RTW trip? It's $68,750 per person, and leaves May 13, 2009 from Bar Harbor, Maine. The stops will be the same as this year's trip, with the exception that the PRC is crossed off the list. Bali will take its place. For more information, go to the Web site and see blogs of the 2008 trip. With any luck, I'll be along on a few of the 2009 trip's legs. Air Journey will also be at EAA AirVenture–in Hangar D, at booth 4095–so you can sign up there and meet the Air Journey staff.

Breach of ethics
The most serious breach of ethics for a writer is evidence of plagiarism, intentionally copying the words and ideas of another writer without indicating these words and ideas are not original.
Thus it comes as a shock to discover a local writer who submits countless letters to The Daily News would so brazenly copy from another and claim by his signature the words are his own.
Joe Massie, in his letter "Bad science fiction," printed July 12, copied word-for-word a column by Dr. Lyle H. Rossitor, Jr. (Massie misspelled the name) from www.nevilleawards.com, an ultra-conservative website.
Massie never identifies the source, picking and choosing among paragraphs he wants to copy. It calls into question every "fact" he submits for print, and suggests stealing another's words and ideas is acceptable to him.
It is also disturbing that The Daily News prints letters without checking them for originality.

Heading for 100 % renewable urban transport: Policy recommendations
Date: unknown
Creator: Gust, Iris & Meusel, Titus
Description: The brochure promotes urban transportation policy to increase the use of renewable energy to 100%. Seen globally, transport is one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Yet fossil fuels are becoming scarce, will become increasingly expensive and will eventually stop being viable as transport fuels. Before this happens, climate change will have begun to have a serious impact on human lives. The authors believe that it is crucial to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy as soon as possible, especially in the transport sector. Making urban transport independent of fossil fuel is a great challenge, but the authors cite growing evidence that it can be achieved.

Administration is having DHS review pending deportation cases. They MIGHT actually start kicking out some of the felons with no right to be here. But that's it. Everyone else gets to stay. Pathetic.
Napolitano said the Obama administration has frequently pointed out "it makes no sense to expend our enforcement resources on low-priority cases, such as individuals... who were brought into this country as young children and know no other home."
Just so we're clear, according to the administration and the DHS secretary, "it makes no sense" to go after illegals if they came here illegally when they were young.

Every fantasy baseball season there are players who get off to hot starts. Some of them maintain a high level of production for the entire season (think Matt Kemp in 2011) and others seem to hit a wall after performing well early on.
The importance of determining which players will continue to do well and who will fall off is crucial in managing your team. A player who is off to a hot start for your team but who you think can't continue to rake should be traded while their value is at a maximum level.
A player on another team who does the same thing should be recognized and avoided in any potential trade offers.
Let's take a look at some players by position and see who is for real this year and who has had fictitious performances thus far. (All stats are as of Monday afternoon) (more…)

Chiefs' Hunt wants to eliminate first-round playoff byes [5:21 AM]

Bills agree to deal with Adams [11:17 PM]
AP reports: Adams, a nine-year veteran, is a noted run-stuffer who played with last season's AFC champion Oakland Raiders. Released by the Raiders last month for salary-cap reasons, Adams quickly identified the Bills as his top choice after visiting the team more than two weeks ago. Adams was credited with 22 tackles and two sacks in 15 games last year. His best season came in 1997 with Seattle, when he had 52 tackles, seven sacks and one forced fumble.
Former Raider Adams agrees to four-year deal [7:05 PM]
ESPN reports: The deal came together Sunday when Adams agreed to an incentive laden deal that rewards him for playing time and performance. "Now, I'm going to work to be the player they want me to be,'' Adams said. "I think this move in signing me will help get this team to the Super Bowl.''
Uncertainty during war only strengthens Reed's brotherly love [9:16 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"No matter where he goes," Josh says, "he's proud to tell people I'm his brother."'
Centers gave Bills more than talent [6:08 AM]
D and C reports: 'Donahoe and Williams would have loved to keep both men, if only for the touch of class they gave the organization. But this isn�t 1980, even 1990.'
Reed salutes his own heroes [6:04 AM]
D and C reports: 'The last time Josh spoke to his older brother was Jan. 27. Josh was flying from Rayne, La., to Buffalo that day to begin his rigorous off-season training program. Norbert, meanwhile, was shipping out to the Middle East.'
Lame-duck coach could hinder Bills' playoff hopes [6:03 AM]
D and C reports: 'Buffalo Bills general manager Tom Donahoe hasn�t made many mistakes this off-season, but when a coach goes from 3-13 to 8-8 in his second season, isn�t it time to give Gregg Williams a contract extension?'
Centers Explores His Options [6:02 AM]
Washington Post reports: 'Fullback Larry Centers is exploring his other options around the league before deciding whether to accept a relatively modest contract with the Washington Redskins, NFL sources said yesterday.'
Spikes was a very inviting free-agent target [7:37 PM]
Philadelphia Inquirer reports: "Yeah, I was contacted by the Eagles," said Spikes, who was the Bengals' leading tackler for four years, and was in on more than 100 tackles in each of his five NFL seasons.

Thoughts on Burk, A-10 and Larry Centers [5:29 AM]
Olean Times Herald reports: 'Last season, in Kevin Gilbride�s offense, Centers was a little-used third-down back. And since he never was even a fair blocker, his on-field contribution was marginal, at best, and couldn�t justify his salary, albeit modest. But, that said, Centers was one of the most positive locker room influences in team history ... and a media favorite.'
Seahawks waiting for right player at right price [5:28 AM]
Seattle Post Intelligencer reports: 'The Seahawks will have to make at least one decision by Monday: Whether to match the offer sheet kicker Rian Lindell, a restricted free agent, signed this week with the Buffalo Bills. Don't expect it to happen, after the pros and cons have been weighed.'
Redskins Are Looking To Bring Centers Back [5:27 AM]
Washington Post reports: 'The Washington Redskins hope to sign former Pro Bowl fullback Larry Centers, NFL sources said yesterday. Club officials wanted to move quickly to bring about a reunion with Centers after he was released Thursday by the Buffalo Bills, for whom he played the past two seasons after being abruptly cut by then-Redskins coach Marty Schottenheimer.'
Clinton's athleticism is unbelievable [5:26 AM]
Pittsburgh Tribune Review reports: 'When Donahoe took over the Bills two years ago, the team was in salary cap hell. Today, there are eight players left from that team, the Bills are $7 million under the salary cap and nobody would laugh if you would suggest that they have a chance to compete for the AFC Championship.'
Adams Talks Progressing [9:16 PM]
WNSA Radio reports: Don't count Sam Adams out of the Buffalo Bills' lineup for 2003 just yet. An NFL source said talks between the defensive tackle and the club are progressing and both sides have stated publicly in the past that they want to get the deal done. It appears that still could happen.
Mike Doser: Centers, Robinson became expendable [8:41 PM]
Shout! reports: 'One time Centers remarked to my colleague Lary Bump that he trusted the Bills' coaches and management so much that he felt he could shoot craps with them over the telephone. Now he's an ex-Bill - I wonder if his opinion of team management has changed.'

The Bills and the Draft [1:52 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: If there is one reason the Buffalo Bills have maintained their competitive position in the AFC despite the rapid turnover of personnel in the NFL, it�s their picks in the NFL draft. The Bills� 2002 final roster contained 23 of their draft picks. Fourteen of those players started in 2002.

Bills cut thirtysomethings Centers and Robinson [8:56 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Centers made the Pro Bowl in 2001 after catching 80 passes, seventh most in team history. Last season, however, the Bills were more willing to throw the ball to starting running back Travis Henry. Centers and Henry each caught 43 passes. Centers was much more of a factor in Mike Sheppard's West Coast offense than Kevin Gilbride's attack.'
Bills Release Fullback Larry Centers, Linebacker Eddie Robinson [7:31 AM]
Bloomberg reports: 'The moves allowed the Bills to save about $2 million against the league's $75 million salary cap.'

Centers could draw Pats' attention [5:16 AM]
Metro West Daily News reports: 'Centers clearly fits the Patriots' mold. Perhaps the main questions are how much he has left after 13 NFL seasons, and can the Patriots fit him under the salary cap.'
Bills release Centers, Robinson [11:01 PM]
AP reports: 'The 34-year-old Centers caught a pass in 143 straight games, a streak that ended Oct. 27 against Detroit. That mark ranks behind only those set by Jerry Rice and Tim Brown. He has 808 receptions for 6,691 yards and 27 touchdowns in his 13-year career. The Bills are looking for a fullback with more blocking ability.'
Bills release FB Centers, LB Robinson [10:05 PM]
Sportsticker reports: 'Centers, who turns 35 in June, had 43 catches for 388 yards last season for the Bills. But with Travis Henry and Sammy Morris showing pass-catching ability in the backfield, Centers became expendable. Robinson, who turns 33 in April, was third on the team with 102 tackles last season. But the offseason additions of outside linebackers Takeo Spikes and Jeff Posey squeezed out Robinson.'

Flack stepping down as Schwan president, CEO
MARSHALL – The Schwan Food Co. will soon have a new leader.
Allan Schuman, chairman of the board of The Schwan Food Co., announced Tuesday that Greg Flack will step down as Chief Executive Officer, president and Chief Operating Officer of the company, effective Oct. 4, 2013.
Flack has served as president and CEO of The Schwan Food Co. for the past five years and was a member of the board of directors.
Members of the board have conducted a search for a new chief executive officer, who is expected to be announced in the near future, Schwan said in a news release. Until then Flack will work with the company's board of directors to ensure a smooth transition.
"We are grateful to Greg for his 26 years of leadership and service to The Schwan Food Company," said Allan Schuman. "Everyone who is associated with the company believes in its unlimited potential for growth in the markets it competes in. I am confident that the new chief executive officer will share the company's vision for the future and continue to strengthen the business as it moves forward."
In response to requests for interviews, a spokesman for The Schwan Food Co. said neither Flack nor Schuman was available for comment Tuesday.

PS who WAS that bloke in the red shorts, whokept going up and down the same ghastly hills all day?Date of review: January 19, 2005
In short: Hills, mud and sun what more could you ask for on a Sunday morning.In full: Great route, ceratinly challenging. Oh and watching the deer sprint down the "big hill" as I was crawling up it was a great sight. Just need a megaphone at the start, couldn't hear a word.Date of review: January 19, 2005
In short: One you have to experience, especially the "hill" halfway round!!Date of review: January 19, 2005

In short: The organisers notes on the website don't do this race justice.In full: Mud, hills, more mud, oh and more hills. Great race. Nice mix of mud, hills and flat. Excellent organisation, and the sun came out, what more can you ask for?The BIG climb was a bit of a shock, I ended up on hands and knees like so many others, but it wasn't too long which was probably just as well.A race to look forward to for next year!Thanks to all involved.Date of review: January 17, 2005
In short: Superb run, great fun much harder than expected lovely atmosphereDate of review: January 17, 2005
In short: My first multi terrain race. Can't wait for the next. In full: I do wonder what it would have been like in heavy rain? I would probably still be trying to get up the 'big hill'.Very well orgainised. See you all there next year.Date of review: January 17, 2005
In short: Excellent all-round value and organisation. Great, if tough, course. Only criticism is that starter needed a megaphone; we couldn't hear his instructions.Date of review: January 17, 2005
