Now ... what city is next for pizza marauders?
TXCraig1I'm loving these pictures, and that pie at Pizza Town is my kind of pie. Ok, I think I know who many of the people are, but not sure who pizzablogger is. Also, two guys (one with glasses, one without), they look like brothers, who are they. Also, big guy with crewcut, can't figure out who that is. I think I'm good on all the rest.
FYI - I read recently that KA is coming out with a bleached and brominated HG flour aimed at the NY slice market...
When NY was going through it's golden age of pizza 20 years ago, every pizzeria wasn't perfect. The ovens were more powerful, so the bake times, for the most part, were respectable, but nobody really understood the benefits of longer fermentation. Most still don't. To John Q. Pizzeria Owner, you use enough yeast so the dough is ready when you need it- if the logistics work out to a day of fermentation or an hour, to him (and, let's face it, many of his customers), it makes no difference. You'd have some shops whose logistics fared better with same days, while others would make the dough the day before. The day before places would usually sell more pizza, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find an owner that knew why.Fast forward 20 years and you still have pizzeria guys that don't understand the benefits of longer fermentation. This is, imo, why pizza is so incredibly mediocre today- because you had so many owners that didn't understand what made their pizza great, they couldn't take the necessary steps to safeguard it. Oven manufacturers started making weaker ovens, and, rather than saying 'wait a sec, a fast bake time is integral to the greatness of my pizza' the owners just rolled over and bought the weaker ovens. Fermentation took a similar route. Because these owners didn't see the great pizza/longer fermentation connection, they didn't fight the trend towards same day doughs.
KA is going to start selling bromated flour?! What the heck are they smoking? Do they really think they're going to make inroads into such an incredibly saturated market with a product that's more costly than anything out there?So... does this mean that KA will take back all the bad things they say about bromate?
I'm just curious...This "Golden Age" that you speak of...do you mean 20 years ago and long before, or was there some pinnacle reached in the 1990's and things have since declined.

I will have to wait and see how it senses when to boost, but i have a strong feeling it wont be at the "right" times.
Nvidia Corp.'s next-generation Kepler family of graphics cards will be able to dynamically speed up themselves when it is most needed, according to unofficial information. The details are scarce, but it is clear that the technology will have a strong influence on the market.
For many years both Advanced Micro Devices and Nvidia Corp. pointed to overclocking as a way to substantially boost performance of their graphics processing units (GPUs). Overclocking naturally limits potential lifespan of graphics cards and while "true" enthusiasts hardly use them for more than a year, average end-users are cautious about overclocking. In a bid to offer a bit higher performance for everyone, Nvidia's code-named Kepler graphics solutions, which are supposed to become available in March or April will offer dynamic overclocking technology akin to Intel Corp.'s Turbo Boost and AMD's Turbo Core.
Heise.de web-site reports that Nvidia GeForce "Kepler" graphics cards will support Dynamic Clock Adjustment technology, which will overclock graphics boards automatically in cases when the speed is needed by 5% - 7%. While such speed boost is hardly truly significant, provided that it will be fully automatic, it will not only have influence on benchmark results, but will also boost user experience in some cases.
Numerous partners of Nvidia try to earn additional margins by squeezing maximum juices out of Nvidia GeForce-based graphics cards and sell factory-overclocked models. Potentially, DCA technology may either help them to further improve Kepler graphics cards or make it impossible to make pre-overclocked boards.
Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

Feb. 16-17 is your chance to get 'hooked' on Michigan ice fishing/Inside the DNR
With the arrival of decent ice through most of the Copper Country and western Upper Peninsula, ice shanties are now popping up on lakes around the region as anglers chase the great diversity of fish available to us through the ice. From splake, pike and walleye to perch, bluegills and crappies, there's something for all anglers, whether you favor hook-and-bobber or tip-up fishing.
February is not only a good time for the die-hard, life-long anglers, but is also the perfect month to introduce someone new, whether young or old, local resident or out-of-state visitor, to the sport of fishing. Why? Three words: Free Fishing Weekend.
On Feb. 16-17, anglers across the state will have the opportunity to fish without first purchasing a license. The exemption applies evenly to state residents and non-residents alike, with the only requirement being they follow all current fishing regulations.
The DNR coordinates two Free Fishing Weekends each year in February and June as an opportunity to showcase the great angling opportunities available in Michigan while alleviating some of the financial investment needed to get involved. And in many cases, it's not just the license that is free.
On Free Fishing Weekend, many communities, sport fishing clubs and state parks put on fishing derbies and other events where participants receive free instruction and live bait along with the use of loaner fishing rods and other ice fishing equipment.
In the western Upper Peninsula, at least three fishing events will be held on Free Fishing Weekend. (There are undoubtedly more planned, and we encourage the organizers to register their events on the DNR's Free Fishing Weekend website: michigan.gov/freefishing.)
On Saturday, Feb. 16, the Wakefield Volunteer Fire Department will host its fourth annual ice fishing contest fundraiser from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central Time on Sunday Lake. The event is geared toward children, but prizes are available for anglers of all ages. For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 906-229-5131.
On Saturday, Feb. 16 and Sunday, Feb. 17, DNR Fisheries Division and Parks and Recreation staff will host two free fishing classes, on Bass Lake in Gogebic County (Saturday) and on Runkle Lake in Iron County (Sunday). The classes are designed for anglers of all ages (youth participants must be accompanied by an adult). Instructors will be on hand from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Central Time to teach techniques and methods used when fishing for a variety of locally-available species. Live bait will be provided, along with a limited amount of loaner equipment. For more information, contact DNR fisheries biologist Mark Mylchreest at 906-875-6622 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
For anglers who want to head further north, Fort Wilkins Historic State Park in Copper Harbor will host the second annual Lake Fanny Hooe Ice Fishing Tournament from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 9,
The tournament, sponsored by the Pines Resort, McCabe Distributing Company and Seventh Street Station, is designed to both highlight the Keweenaw's fantastic splake fishery and encourage youth to try ice fishing. There is no registration fee for youth anglers to participate in the kids fishing contest, while adults will pay $10 to enter. All proceeds from the tourney will be donated to the DNR's Fisheries Division for future management of the region's splake population. For more information, contact Fort Wilkins supervisor Rob Strittmatter at 906-289-4215 or strittmatterr@ michigan.gov.
Outside of these organized events, there are a few specific waterbodies in the Copper Country that would make ideal locations for introducing newbies to ice fishing.
According to DNR fisheries biologists and creel clerks, Portage Lake in the Village of Chassell has recently experienced a resurgence in the crappie, perch and bluegill populations, creating a productive hook-and-bobber panfish opportunity for kids, all within easy walking distance from the public boat launch.
Otter Lake in Baraga County has experienced a similar uptick in panfish numbers, most notably crappies, one of the most popular and tasty species caught through the ice. Anglers on Otter Lake have also been reporting good pike fishing, creating an opportunity for kids to enjoy targeting the more active panfish bite while the adults set out a few tip-ups of their own.

Be sure to check out the DNR's Weekly Fishing Report, posted each Thursday at michigan.gov/fishingreport; read about Michigan fish species and the best ways to catch them at michigan.gov/fishing; and find full details about Free Fishing Weekend events at michigan.gov/freefishing.

Hello TeaChatters!
I'm new to loose tea and have really enjoyed reading the posts on TeaChat and have learned a lot so far. I'm looking forward to learning even more about tea from all of you!

A few months ago I got the large-sized IngenuiTEA with the black tea sampler. I loved almost all of the teas and seem to prefer the teas from India, and Oolong. Right now Irish Breakfast is my favorite hot tea (but I HATED English Breakfast, is that strange?) and Ginger Peach is my fave iced.
I love all of the photos that you and others have posted on the TeaDay forum. You should produce a calendar or book, they are all beautiful!
Oolong? *ears perk up* Have you tried the oolong sampler? You also may like the peach oolong (but stay away from the others, shhhhhh)

I've got two seats in the Dawg Pound in addition to the two seats that I use personally at Browns Stadium. I figured I'd try to once again find takers for them in here before I go to Craigslist or eBay.
I've got a half-season of those seats available for this season (and for coming seasons as long as you want them). In recent years I've been able to get interest here...GoTribe31 has used the other half-season for the past couple years...JB had them a couple years ago, and one of our other writers used these seats last year. Here are the details:
Two seats for half the games (4 reg season, one exhibition) in Section 318, which is upper level of the Pound...about halfway up the section. (If you go to clevelandbrowns.com, go to the seating map and click on 318, it will give you a photo of the view from there.) 2011 home opponents (in addition to our 3 divisional rivals) are Jacksonville, Miami, St. Louis, Seattle and Tennessee.
They are $45 per seat per game, so $450.00 for the half-season package (no PSL). I divide the games up as fairly as possible, asking both parties to list their game priorities for regular season 1 thru 8, and then assign games with alternating picks based on each guy's top available game, like a draft, till we're done. (The 2 exhibitions are a necessary evil, usually assigned based on causing the least possible disruption to people's summer vacation plans.)
Incidentally, Holmgren has already stated publicly that if there is no season, he will be refunding ticket money, with interest (rather than holding onto it and applying it to a future year, like they and the Indians sometimes do with playoff ticket money)
I've already sent Randy the money, so I'd like to get the $450 in some reasonable time frame before the season starts?
PM me or email at dwismar [at] gmail.com if you're interested or can put me in touch with someone who is.

During the winter months at sea, Eudyptes sclateri remain in the cool marine waters of the subantarctic. Their exact location has never been determined. They normally breed on the rocky Antipodes, Bounty, Campbell, and Auckland Islands in colonies that also include E. chrysocome. The islands are rocky with cliffs that provide for well-protected nests. There is very little vegetation and it normally includes short grasses and shrubs. These islands are located in the subantarctic waters south of New Zealand (Williams 1995; Barham and Barham 1996).

Hi All,
My first time at this so be patient with me. Anyone a member of Paul McCartney.com? He has a whole new website which confuses the bloody hell out of me. I am NOT/NOT a techie of any kind. I used to be able to go in and find sites where I could get concert pix but I can't find a way anymore. Does anyone know how? Does anyone care? I need concert pix for my Paul scrapbooks that I have been keeping for a few years now.
If you know how, please let me know. There are a few more fans out there I know who are also having a hard time trying to find it. Used to be able to log in, go to Fans, go to Rockshow, find the concert I was looking for, CONFIRMED and click and get all sorts of feedback and places where you could get photos, but I can't find that place anymore.
In the immortal words of The Beatles HELP!

Fish Oil Feeds Your Brain!
Posted by Reviewer2085750 on Jul 25, 2010
I am a big fan of Daniel Amen's books about brain health. Across the board, he has all his patients consume fish oil. So I started taking it, megadosing actually. My thyroid, adrenals and pituitary are functioning suboptimally and I have had to fight my MDs to acknolewdge that their tests prove me positive for this. As a result I have been experiencing post traumatic stress syndrome along with depression and anxiety. I have found the fish oil provides a helpful background for my mind. Just in case this is helpful I have been taking iodine I have purchased here as well as Mental Edge neurotransmitters. My boyfriend also commented I seem to be handling stress, mental and physical better. So I do recommend this Fish Oil or any that is purified and safe (avoid heavy metals ie. as far as I can tell Trader Joes fails to test theirs...).

School plan concerns officials
They seek assurances about an autism program chartered in Hillsborough County.
By JEFFREY S. SOLOCHEK
Published March 7, 2007
LAND O'LAKES - Pasco County is poised to get a new charter school this fall that will focus on students with autism.
The school, set to open at a former church site in Zephyrhills, will operate as a satellite campus of a state-funded autism center chartered by the Hillsborough County School District.
That's causing some consternation among Pasco County school officials.
"I think it's important that we help our autistic children the best we can," superintendent Heather Fiorentino told the School Board on Tuesday. "But I have concerns over the way it is happening.
Specifically, Fiorentino worried about whether future charter schools might use this example as a precedent to gain approval in another county and then come into Pasco to do business, without local oversight.
"Other counties are not supposed to cross the boundary to do this," she said. "I just think there might be some legal ramifications."
The Hillsborough charter, authorized and funded by the Legislature, also would serve Pinellas, Polk, Manatee and Sarasota counties. The area has one of the highest incidences of autism in Florida.
Pasco has about 300 children who qualify for autism services. Many would remain in the public schools, which offers an array of programs for them. The new charter school plans to debut with 200 seats in the six counties, eventually rising to 600 seats.
The Hillsborough official who oversees charter schools said her district is working this week to explain the setup to each of the five counties where Educational Services of America, which will operate the autism center, wants to open satellites. If the local districts do not formally approve, Hillsborough will not extend the charter to them.
"We are not authorized to, nor would we dream of insulting our neighbors by authorizing and opening a charter school in their district," said Anne Chatfield, Hillsborough's director of nontraditional programs.
She vouched for the program's quality, though, saying it has won high marks from many evaluators. "Like our neighbors, we are here for the good of the children," Chatfield said.
Educational Services of America chief executive Mark Claypool said he regretted any political snags in the process. He had planned to run the charter through Florida's new state-level chartering commission, but was "courted" by Hillsborough to apply there.
"They agreed verbally that they would manage the relationship with the other counties," Claypool said. "They just told us to go about preparing to take care of the kids."
Pasco officials are scheduled to meet with their Hillsborough counterparts today.
"We knew the autism center for excellence was being established. We were not aware they wanted to do the satellite campuses in other counties," said Melissa Musselwhite, Pasco supervisor of exceptional student education. "Now we as a school district are going to investigate what's involved."
She acknowledged that the needs of children with autism are great. Some take gifted education in the regular classroom, while others are educated separately in self-contained classrooms.
Musselwhite did not know what the new center would provide that differs from what the district offers.
Claypool said the program will focus on three areas, using research-based methods that have been accepted for years as most effective.
The Spectrum section will help students with moderate to severe cases of autism. The College Living Prep, for high-functioning teens, will teach how to succeed more independently. College Living Experience, which will not start immediately, will support those students who plan to go to community college.
Claypool did not know how many students might attend each campus, or the exact services each will provide. Much will depend upon the abilities and needs of the students who enroll. Having many sites is helpful, he explained, because it can limit the amount of travel the students must endure.
"Generally, these kids do not travel well," he said.
About one of every 150 children born in the United States has some form of autism, a disorder that affects communication, social interaction and behavior.
Claypool said he hated that the Pasco district was caught off-guard. "I hope the school will be so great that everybody's concerns will be allayed quickly."

We all know that Vonn Bell is the new hotness, but I love reading about players like this. Reading this article behind the lines you see a smart, tough and disciplined competitor.
http://www.toledoblade.com/HighSchool/2 ... -foes.html
Don't get me wrong, I like the athletic freaks, but if there is one thing I have learned in the last 20ish years watching college football it is that kids like Thompson don't bust often. That is not to say that there may be better players on the field, but Thompson has some very strong character indicators. I am pretty sure that there was a recent article somewhere about him helping a sheriff out with unruly drunks or something.

hey, I've owned my shop here in san diego for 8 years now and yes, it is hard work, and you do work every single day, but you know what, if, and only IF you have a passion for it, then you should definitely do it, but i do suggest you somehow get some lessons on the restaurant business, because a restaurant is much different than a pizza shop, but if its something you LOVE, and nothing less, don't ever let anything stop you.
im 18 and i want to open a shop as a career, what advice can anyone give me to prevent me as much as possible from crashing and burning?

My Grandma was basically a full blooded Bohunk ( which loosely translates to Yugoslavian, Croatian, Polish, etc...) She used to make these things called, and I cant be sure on the spelling, Pitaha's, and Babika's( pit-uh-huh's and buh-bike-uh's phoenetically), they were made with dough, and were first boiled somewhat, then pan fried in a bit of oil. I dont remember which one was which, but one of them was just a 2 or 3 inch long spindle of plain dough, and the other one was like a ravioli, but was stuffed with a prune. They were phenomenal. What kind of dough they were is a mystery, as she has passed, and took a butt load of family recipes with her.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (55 votes).
In short: PRILENTIn full: N/ADate of review: January 7, 2012
In short: A great way to start the New Year, Well worth entering and great T shirt to come away with!Date of review: January 7, 2012
In short: Excellent race, great number of runners with large supportive crowd. In full: What an excellent way to start the year, with a large field and a real big race atmosphere.Great support for runners along the course, especially along Chichester Road near the sea front and at the finish area.Thanks to all those who helped to put on this race. Get in quick for 2013, as on this basis, it could reach it's limit. Date of review: January 5, 2012
In short: Suprisingly enjoyable way to start the new yearIn full: I can honestly say I really enjoyed this race, great turn out, good spectator support around the housing area.Date of review: January 5, 2012
In short: Good way to kick start the yearIn full: A much bigger field than expected but course seemed to cope with the extra bodies, perhaps chip timing for next year. Every year on the ratings people comment about not running on the sea front, it is way too busy for that amount of people, so the club has to stick with the existing route which is very fast,Shame about the water, but how many need it on a 10K when it is 10 degrees ?Good facilities at HQ, nice hot showers, coffee etc. Well marshalled en route, will be back in 2103. Cracking T shirt, ran in it twice already !Date of review: January 4, 2012
In short: well done cleethorpes great event to stat the year offDate of review: January 4, 2012
In short: Well organised and friendly race, a good start to any new year. Well Done James and your team of organisersDate of review: January 4, 2012
In full: First time I have done this race and I loved it! Shame about some moron stealing the water but it didn't spoil the race or the atmosphere. Great support around the course, the marshalls were brilliant, and every car driver stopped to let us cross roads which was good. Loved the T shirt and got a PB so it was a grand day out!Date of review: January 4, 2012
In full: This is the 8th time I have taken part in this race and I love coming back year on year. A far better race than the 9.1k they put on over the otjher side of the Humber Bridge in Beverley every year. It is always well organised and always has a great atmosphere and is always well marshalled as well. It is a nice route and is totally flat. It was great to see a record turn out this year which tells you something about this ever popular event. Also love this years T-shirt! :) So well done Cleethorpes A.C. on another well organised run. Next month they will also be hosting their annual Beach Terrain Cross-Country run which is also well supported and well organised every year. Always worth the Bridge Toll to attend both these annual events. So here is to NYD 10k 2013 :)What a shame there was a heartless moron in the area this year who thought it would be a good idea to steal the race water - thank you for spoiling a very good race for everyone!Date of review: January 4, 2012
In short: Great way to Start the New Year. Good to come back home for.In full: Fabulous way to kick start 2012. Don't think I quite made my target of being inside the hour mark which was a shame (I'm blaming it on that headwind on North Sea Lane!) Shame about the low life who stole the water but the race was was short enough and cold enough to not really need any except maybe more at the finish. For me it was a lovely experience and a great excuse to come back home to Cleethorpes, from my adopted home in Kent, for New Year. Only critisms would be a question mark over the route (why not some of the race along the sea front and into the town?) and the distance markers could have been more frequent. We don't all have GPS you know! Overall though it was really pleasurable and will do it again every year I'm around and the legs are willing....Date of review: January 4, 2012

The meningococcal vaccines protect against meningococcal disease, a serious bacterial infection that can lead to bacterial meningitis.
Two kinds of meningococcal vaccines are currently given to kids in the United States.
Vaccination with MCV4 is recommended:
Those who have their first dose between the ages of 13-15 should receive a booster dose between the ages of 16-18. If the first dose is given after age 16 (for example, for previously unvaccinated college freshmen who will be living in a dormitory setting or those entering the military), no booster dose is required.
The MenB vaccine may be considered for all teens and young adults (ages 16 through 23). The preferred age for vaccination is 16–18 years old. Two or three doses are needed depending on the brand. The decision to receive this vaccine should be made by the teen, together with his or her parents and doctor.
Some kids are at higher risk for meningococcal disease, including those who:
Children aged 2 months to 10 years with these risk factors should receive a full series of the MCV4 vaccines. The sequence and dosage will depend on the child's age.
Children 10 years and up with these risk factors should receive a full series of the MenB vaccines.
Meningococcal disease is caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitides. It can cause an infection of the bloodstream or meningitis, or both, and can be life threatening if not promptly treated. The MCV4 vaccine is very effective at protecting against four strains of the meningococcal bacteria, while the MenB vaccine protects against a fifth strain.
Some of the most common side effects are swelling, redness, and pain at the site of the injection, along with headache, fever, or fatigue. Severe problems, such as allergic reactions, are rare.
The vaccine is not recommended if:
If your child has a history of Guillain-Barré syndrome (a disease of the nervous system that causes progressive weakness), talk to your doctor about whether the vaccines are a good idea.
Your child might experience fever, soreness, and some swelling and redness in the area where the shot was given. Pain and fever may be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Check with your doctor to see if you can give either medication and to find out the appropriate dose.
A warm, damp cloth or a heating pad also may help reduce soreness. Moving or using the limb that has received the injection often reduces the soreness.
Note: All information is for educational purposes only. For specific medical advice, diagnoses, and treatment, consult your doctor.

Western Digital has finally announced its first ever Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drive for enterprises after years of reluctance to enter the SAS market. The new S25 drive hardly looks like a completely new product, but as a re-engineered VelociRaptor Enterprise Serial ATA drive that was originally designed for servers, workstations and performance enthusiasts.
"Our entry into the traditional-enterprise market continues the strategic expansion and diversification of WD's broad market and product portfolio, and significantly increases our addressable revenue opportunity. WD will approach the traditional enterprise space with the same focus on quality, customer service, technology and value that has earned us strong positions," said John Coyne, president and chief executive officer of WD.
WD S25 features 300GB capacity, 10 000rpm rotational speed, 16MB cache, 3.6ms read seek time, 4.2ms write seek time, 0.7ms track-to-track seek time and average latency of 3ms. Seek times of WD S25 are slightly better compared to VelociRaptor Enterprise, still, it does seem that S25 is substantially based on its predecessor designed for SATA. Besides faintly higher performance, WD S25 also offers 1.6 million hours meantime before failure (MTBF), whereas the VelociRaptor can only boast with 1.4 million hours MTBF.
The WD S25 is now available to select OEMs and shipments have begun to the two largest OEMs in the industry.
"We are thrilled to launch a mission-critical-class hard drive to these high-end OEM customers. This new family of SAS products adds to our existing large capacity SATA near-line enterprise product portfolio. This first product is the foundation upon which we will expand into the previously untapped traditional enterprise market," said Tom McDorman, vice president and general manager of WD's enterprise storage solutions business unit.

Reining in Wall Street
STANDING UP AGAINST THE BIG BANKS AND WALL STREET—For more than 20 years, Consumer Program Director Ed Mierzwinski has helped us stand up against big banks and credit card companies.
Consumers shouldn't have to worry that their financial institutions are ripping them off, or using tricks and schemes to squeeze money out of them.
Yet for years, federal bank regulators ignored numerous warnings of increasingly predatory mortgage practices, credit card tricks, and unfair overdraft policies used by the big Wall Street banks. They also ignored warnings of risky securities being packaged and sold to investors. In the wake of the resulting financial crisis, U.S. PIRG fought for and successfully urged passage of a strong 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Since winning federal Wall Street reform, we've worked to defend those reforms from the industry's attempts to defang, defund or delay them. In particular, since it began work in July 2011, we've had to defend the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the first federal financial agency with just one job: protecting consumers. However, it took another two-year fight against the opponents of the CFPB to convince the Senate to confirm Bureau's director, Richard Cordray, to a full five-year term. The Senate finally confirmed Cordray in July 2012, eliminating any uncertainty over the CFPB's authority over credit bureaus, payday lenders and other non-bank firms.
The CFPB - in many ways the centerpiece of the broader 2010 Wall Street reforms - has already succeeded in protecting consumers, from students and soldiers to seniors and homeowners. Among the CFPB's successes have been its new regulation of the mortgage markets, its creation of a publicly-available consumer complaint database, and its investigations of the big credit bureaus. The CFPB has also made banks and credit card companies return nearly half a billion dollars to consumers who were treated unfairly.
Yet consumers, taxpayers and investors still face big risks in the financial marketplace. Big banks are allowed to make risky bets with our money, many financial institutions are still finding ways to unfairly squeeze money out of their customers, and financial industry practices still pose risks to the financial system. So in addition to defending the CFPB, we are working to protect investors, taxpayers and the financial system itself:
- We're supporting a requirement called the Volcker Rule which would prevent big banks from using their "own" money, which includes depositor funds, to place risky bets.
- We're urging the Commodity Futures Trading Commission not to allow the big banks to hide their reckless financial bets offshore the way that AIG and JP Morgan's London Whale did.
- We're backing Securities and Exchange Commission rules to require that all public companies, including banks, publish the ratio of compensation between their CEO and their middle-level employees.
In short, we're building a financial regulatory system that guarantees that consumers and taxpayers are protected from predatory practices. And we're fighting to give consumers a seat at the table when it comes to oversight of the nation's financial system.

Share Your Reflection

I wrote a blog entry about the "N" word that hit a lot of
I wrote a blog entry about the "N" word that hit a lot of nerves. It's not an easy subject. What Krista said about words is exactly the point I was trying to make only she did it much more eloquently. Krista Tippet--"Letting go of words that have defined us creates a possibility of reintroducing ourselves, our best knowledge and virtues, to the world."
Brice Howe, CLC

The "letting go" Krista refers to in the last paragraph
The "letting go" Krista refers to in the last paragraph here nearly always seems such a challenge to us in our human condition That central dichotomy between both the reach/meanings and boundaries/limitations of our words seems to become a crux for each and every one of us at various stages in our lives amid this perplexing, immensely challenging, and ever-changing world.
Krista's comments bring to mind two oft-cited passages regarding the chorus and too often the chaos of words swirling within and around us in our day-to-day lives--William Carlos Williams' poetic assertion that "It is difficult / to get the news from poems / yet men die every day / for lack / of what is found / there" and the poet Percy Shelley's prosaic assertion about poets as "the unacknowledged legislators of the world."
This isn't an argument that we all should take up poetry; no, rather that we do well to note how are lives are ALREADY deeply, inevitably enmeshed in/characterized by poetic acts...by how we each dredge, choose, deploy, even sometimes create, words to express, to mark, and to define our lives. If we will, we can create room to breathe, to renegotiate, and to broaden our horizons by recognizing this. "The world is made of stories, not of atoms" said the poet Muriel Rukeyser, and the recent SOF show with Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen, beautifully, succinctly reiterated that generous and compassionate insight.
Krista's show--regarding faith and being in this world--is such an immense gift. I urge everyone to revisit, to re-read and really take to heart the final paragraph in the above essay she has written for us...truly, it seems, a gift of words, gentle, from the heart.

Two, briefly:

"A blindness unknown to itself might
Two, briefly:
"A blindness unknown to itself might as well be vision / So I opened the door that had been my shield and walked out / Into the coils of wind and blurs of tattooed light / That marred the ground. The day lay cold upon my skin. / "Out of my way, " I said to whatever was waiting, "Out of my way." / In a trice the purple thunder drew back, the tulip dropped / Its petals, the path was clear. I headed West, over the Great / Divide, and down through canyons into an endless valley. / Oh my. I had stepped into a mode I wasn't prepared for. / I was happy. The air was pure, the houses were vacant, / and not one of the fields was ploughed. That's what I loved."--Mark Strand's "Somewhere Else"
And these last lines from Milton's "Paradise Lost"--
"The world was all before them, where to choose / Their place of rest, and Providence their guide: / They hand in hand with wand'ring steps and slow, / Through Eden took their solitary way."

I love your show, and as a pastor have appreciated it. It
I love your show, and as a pastor have appreciated it. It has enriched my preaching and I've recommended it to my colleagues and members of the congregation I serve. My heart sank when I saw that you had changed what is a lovely name to one that is, at best, obscure . I saw you are redeeming the word 'faith' every week by speaking of it in its many forms. You write, "letting go of words we cherish doesn't mean we let go of what they mean to us." If not, then why let them go? I suspect it has more to do with marketing than anything else, and it makes me sad that you are no longer proclaiming that it's faith you are speaking about. Of course words always limit us when we are talking about God or other big ideas, but choosing language that is less specific and less likely to offend is the first step toward not saying much of anything at all.

I have to admit that the word "faith" has been thrown
I have to admit that the word "faith" has been thrown around by so many zealots in the last few years that anything with that word in the title has caused me to turn the channel, put down the book, etc. Thanks for catching my eye with this name change. Now you've got my ear as well.

Montreal - Here I Come!

I write this sitting in the press room of the Festival International de JAZZ de Montreal, looking out at a sea of banners announcing JAZZ JAZZ JAZZ and more wonderful JAZZ. Facing me is the image of a special man we lost last year, Oscar Peterson, displayed proudly on the building that houses two of the main stages of this great festival. Tonight, I will walk past Oscar to hear Dee Dee Bridgewater and then two of the greatest living pianists of our day- Hank Jones and Oliver Jones, performing together, with Oscar Peterson looking over all of us.
Its too early- even for this festival- for the music to start from all of the outdoor stages surrounding the Place des Arts, but the soundchecks go on, the crews deliver cases of instruments and cables and speakers, and the excitement builds. The WBGO team will be blogging from "The Montreal Jazz Festival" in the coming days, sharing some of the highlights not only of the festival, but the wonderful city that welcomes us all every year to share in this extraordinary event.
If you are here, let us know. Share your thoughts and experiences. Where are you eating? What are you seeing? Who have you discovered? With so many events going on, we can't possibly bring all of them to those of your reading this. But you can share your experiences. I promise to put up some photos as I go.
I can't sit still anymore- I've got a whole city to explore... First stop: got to buy my tee shirt!

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (185 votes).
In short: A great race but the last two miles in the wind were tough!Date of review: January 12, 2009
In short: nice one clowne rr keep it upDate of review: November 29, 2008
In short: Scenic challenging courseIn full: The walk to the start was a bit treacherous but mainly due to the weather rather than lack of organistion. Great run, very scenic. Was impressed by the number of water stations handing out bottled water. As the route progressed, the marshalls encouragement became more vocal. Not a route for the faint hearted as quite hilly, however not as difficult as originally feared. In fact was only 2 minutes off my PB so all in all a good day out and will be included in my running diary.Date of review: November 26, 2008
In short: great race with tough hills 10 to 12 miles. well organised and friendly marshalls.Date of review: November 24, 2008
In short: undulated,cold and exposed would have been great in the spring In full: coldest race of the year so far, scenic in places around the country roads.small community centre ,very crowded, decent momento. nowhere else to go after except local pub.will probably be there next year.Date of review: November 24, 2008
In short: Worth the early start . . .In full: You would not expect to get a PB here . . . I did though, and I think a few others did too. Miles 10 to 12 were a bit tough / relentless, but the rest was pleasant enough. Slightly muddy getting to the start, but you couldn't really fault the excellent marshals . . . thanks to the police too . . .Date of review: November 24, 2008
In short: Worthy challenge for a first timerIn full: My first half marathon. I found it a challenge, both due to the hilly nature of the course and to the weather conditions. It was so satisfying to finish inside my expected time and completing this course will give me great confidence in future races. The organisers & marshalls were superb in their support.Date of review: November 24, 2008
In short: Enjoyable HM with tough last 2 milesDate of review: November 24, 2008
In short: Great HalfIn full: Weather conditions made the walk across the field from car park to start very muddy. But race started on time and was very well marshalled with 4 water stations. Have run summer races with less water. Sponges maybe a bit over the top but that can't be a negative.Challenging course but some nice scenic bits. Friendly local support dotted around.Date of review: November 24, 2008
In short: Very enjoyable despite the weather!In full: Undulating race, on fairly quiet rural roads. Very well marshalled - the poor marshalls must have been frozen so a big thanks to them!I did better than I expected so left very happy.I was well protected from the weather with hat, gloves & coat - certainly not a race for vest & shorts!Date of review: November 24, 2008

Two frontrunners last night. Was a serious lack of FOY candidates this year in boxing till these past couple months, where we've seen some amazing fights. Here's my short list, in no apparent order.
Marcos Maidana/Amir Khan - Khan hangs on to survive a vicious war between two of the best fighters in boxing's best weight class (140).
Vic Darchinyan/Abner Mares - Young Mexican up and coming bantamweight star Mares overcomes a vicious cut from a headbutt in rd 1 and a second round knockdown to take down The Raging Bull in a close, violent split decision.
Yohhny Perez/Abner Mares - Mares again, earlier this year, on the undercard of the 4th Vasquez/Marquez fight ... battle to a back and forth draw.
Rafael Marquez/Juan Manuel Lopez - The passing of the torch at featherweight.
Michael Katsidas/Juan Manuel Marquez - The gritty future Hall of Famer JMM shows he still has plenty left in his tank dispatching of Katsidas.
Carl Froch/Mikkel Kessler - Kessler wins a hard fought unanimous decision in prolly the best fight of the Super Six ... but possibly at the expense of his career (eye injury).

Stettinius wins NORCECA competition
Suzanne Stettinius (Parkton, Md.) bested a field of 24 women on Friday to win the NORCECA Modern Pentathlon Championship in Guadalajara, Mexico. The event is Pan American trial event.
Stettinius had a rough start to her day but finished in spectacular fashion. She won her last eight bouts of the fencing competition and totaled 1000 points. Stettinius followed that up with a swim time of 2:24.90. On the riding portion, she knocked down one rail but moved into second place overall. In the final event, the combined run/shoot, Stettinius overtook Mexico's Tamara Vega for the top spot by shooting under 17 seconds on her first two rounds and was able to coast to the victory.
Samantha Achterberg (Sedalia, Colo.) finished in 7th place with a personal best total of 4848. She had 840 points in the fencing and swam a time of 2:27 to put her in the top 12 heading into the ride. Achterberg turned in the best ride by an American, suffering just a four-point time penalty. That put her in 6th place heading into the combined event and only a struggle on her last round of shooting dropped her to 7th in the final standings.
The third member of the U.S. women's squad, Rendy Lynn Opdycke (Mercer Island, Wash.) finished 17th overall. She was 15th in the fencing with 760 points and dominated the swim in a time of 2:16. Opdycke ran into some problems on the ride as she could not get her horse past the fifth jump and finished with 400 points for that event. She also had trouble with the functioning of her pistol on the shooting portion but still finished respectably.
The U.S. squad finished in third place in the team standings behind Mexico and Canada.
The American men's team of Eli Bremer (Monument, Colo.), Will Brady (Howell, Mich.), Nathan Schrimsher (Roswell, N.M.) and John Gibbons (Colorado Springs, Colo.) will be in action on Saturday.

Taking Pictures/Videos of Union Pacific Trains or Structures
Policy Statement
Union Pacific Railroad has always valued the countless numbers of persons that have taken photographs of our trains and structures over the years. While we appreciate all of the photographers' efforts, we also want them to follow their passion or their profession safely.
The policy was crafted as a result of unsafe behavior in taking a video of steam locomotive No. 844 running over a camcorder placed in the middle of the track as well as the increasing number of high school seniors having their yearbook photograph taken on railroad tracks and railroad structures such as tunnels and bridges.
Unsafe behavior occurred when a photographer went onto railroad property to take a photograph or video. While it is easy to determine rail yards and rail structures such as bridges would be off limits – along the tracks, it may not be so easy to determine what is or is not railroad property. When in doubt, take the safe way and photograph from identifiable public property, such as the shoulder of a public road.
Photographs leave lasting impressions, and we want those impressions of Union Pacific trains and structures to be captured safely.
In addition to the policy statement, there is a safety fact sheet for news media and general safety tips if you find yourself near railroad property.

JP Morgan builds treasury services team
JP Morgan has created a new role within its treasury services division, as it works to capitalise on increased demands for cash management, liquidity and trade finance services from its financial institution clients.
A spokesman confirmed that the firm has appointed Philippe Penichou as head of financial institutions sales for JP Morgan Treasury Services in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. He was most recently head of financial institution sales for western Europe at JP Morgan.
The firm has 6,000 financial institution clients across 150 countries, making it the largest financial institutions bank in the world.
Treasury services has become increasingly important as firms contend with restricted liquidity, increased counterparty risk and economic volatility. Financial News understands that JP Morgan will further expand its set of treasury services, by entering new markets, broadening its suite of cash, liquidity and trade finance solutions, enhancing its technology infrastructure and hiring staff.
Separately, JP Morgan has made changes to its custody arm, which with $18.2 trillion is the third-largest in the world, following the integration with other businesses under the new corporate and investment bank in July.
According to an internal note seen by Financial News, the firm has streamlined the organisation. Carlos Hernandez, head of the so-called investor services division, said the changes create a "unified, end-to-end management of similar businesses and risks".
As part of the reorganisation, JP Morgan has appointed three new "leaders" of its investor services sections.
John Horner has been promoted to head prime brokerage and financing, an area of growth for the bank. Emily Portney is to lead agency clearing, collateral management and execution. Nick Rudenstine heads custody and fund services, which includes foreign exchange and other custody and fund services.
Meanwhile Francis Jackson, formerly regional executive for Emea at JP Morgan Worldwide Securities Services, will coordinate investor services sales worldwide.
Dinkar Jetley, who became chief executive of the bank's custody arm in May last year, was also mentioned in the note.
"I would like to thank Dinkar Jetley for his significant contributions in leading the WSS businesses. In the months ahead, Dinkar will be instrumental in helping me with the integration of the businesses and shaping the new Investor Services organisation," said Hernandez.
JP Morgan refused to comment further on his future role.

I met Dumitru Sandru on The Passive Voice when I was a guest host. He left a unique comment on a blog post, so unique it stood out. I realized he'd given a lot of thought to the process of marketing books, why some books sell, why some don't. I invited him to expand upon his ideas here. Julia
I am an author and Indie Publisher, and I'm always searching for better ways to market and sell my books. There is plenty of advice on how to sell books based on methods borrowed from selling other products. However, books are not necessities. Books belong to the business of entertainment, along with TV, movies, music, art and so on. Books sell if you manage your entertainment business using these four guiding principles:
- Sell in the right market,
- Advertise,
- Provide emotional appeal,
- Author's reputation/fame.
The right market. Do you think you would be able to sell ice cream on a hot day on a crowded street? You bet, because that is the right market for selling ice cream. What is the right market for books? It depends on two things: the subject of the book, and the place. It is imperative to find the right market for your book's subject. The narrower the subject of your book, the easier is to find the book buyers who may be interested in your book. For non-fiction books you could join specific interest forums. For fiction you would have to join on-line book clubs such as Goodreads, Librarything, Shelfari, and many others. However, you must respect the policies of the club regarding advertising your book. The clubs are not intended for authors to peddle their books. However, your presence as an author and reader will increase your status and popularity among club members.
The best place to sell books is, or used to be the brick-and-mortar bookstores. The Indie Publishers have little access to those stores. They might as well not exist. However, an Indie Publisher can explore other venues for selling paper books such as book fairs. As a practical matter, make sure that you would be able to sell enough books to cover the book fair expenses.
The bookstores are vanishing fast and are being replaced by the virtual e-Bookstore, like Amazon. The e-Bookstore accepts all of us, Traditional and Indie Publishers alike. But there is a problem with the e-Bookstore. It is a virtual store and it is immense. The virtual bookstore may have more books than readers. A book might as well be a speck of dust in a dust cloud in this store. The old saying: if you build a better mousetrap people will beat a path to your door is not true. To be found your book must be known. That's why advertising is important.
Advertise. After writing new books, advertising should be your next responsibility. Every time you are in front of an audience (e-audience) you must advertise your book(s.) If you advertise blatantly, in your face, the audience will be turned off and you'll be booted out. You need to be subtle, which is a whole subject in itself. Practice subtle advertising. It pays.
Advertisements can be of the paid or free type. If you spend money for advertising, you must do it in the right place, for the right audience. Sometimes even if you think it is the right place it may not work. I placed a banner ad for my first book, Arboregal, for a week in a reputable forum with thousands of reader-viewers. It cost me $240 and I sold four (4) eBooks. Not cost effective. Also you must consider the time of the year for such advertising, some seasons are better than others.
Free advertising will require more of your time. The following list, and I'm sure there are a lot more, are places for free advertising:
- Press Releases. There is virtually no downside to press releases for your book. It is easy to do it yourself and it is free marketing. There is no need to pay for such services. The most successful press releases always include a catchy hook. If you don't issue press releases, no one will know about your book, if you do, some people will read about it, so it is worth the effort. Check these sites about press release submissions: http://www.avangate.com/community/resources/article/press-release-distribution.htm and http://socialrealist.com/digital-pr/big-list-of-free-press-release-distribution-sites/
- Facebook and Twitter. They are called social media platforms. They are platforms for advertising, but remember to advertise subtly. When I released my last book Escape from Communism I announced it on my Facebook and Twitter accounts. People accept such announcements the first time because it is news. If I would remind people every week about my book, my announcement and I would become a nuisance.
- Blog or post-comments on other people's blogs. I do not suggest that you should advertise for your book on them, but being involved and providing your thoughts will be helpful to your image as an author and Indie Publisher. The more helpful you are the more remembered and recognized you'll be. In the least you'll be advertising your name as an author. For example look at this blog. I'm writing this for Julia Barrett's guest blog. How did Julia invite me to write this blog? She saw an interesting comment I made on Passive Voice to a blog about selling books. I hope it is beneficial to all of you. And, let's not forget, Julia Barrett and Dumitru Sandru may receive some e-recognition.
- Your Website. Of course you need to pay to host your website, but it is your virtual store for the world to see. It is yours, it is free advertising, go bananas with your marketing on your website.
- On-line book clubs. People of a mind tend to congregate together, and so are readers. There are sites like Goodreads, Librarything, Shelfari and many others. Be careful about blatant advertising, because you'll be kicked out. Most of these forums allow the author to post their author page, the book(s) you published, and invite people to chat with you. Some clubs give you the opportunity to offer a few of your books for free to interested readers, like via raffles. I offered five copies of my YA Fantasy book, and over 300 readers were interested in it. The winners were encouraged to offer a reviews after they read my book. There are no guaranties that you will receive reviews or good reviews, but what do you have to lose?
- YouTube. Have you noticed an increase in YouTube clips on the Passive Voice forum? If millions of people viewed a screaming child and made him famous, you could get at least a few thousands to know you via YouTube. And screaming is optional. YouTube is a great tool to advertise for free. YouTube is the equivalent of the "elevator speech." It must be short, entertaining, informative, thought provoking, and point the viewer to your book. The video clip can be about yourself or your book in a book trailer. For example, currently I'm sketching the book trailer for my next book the Pregnant Pope, a paranormal thriller. The book is not finished, but I will release the trailer before the book is published. There is a benefit for working on the book trailer while the manuscript is in the draft stage. It will force me to concentrate the essence of the story in a few riveting sentences. Then I compare them to the story. Is the story as riveting? If not I'll revise the story while I still can.
- Merchandising Products. This can be as simple as a T-shirt with the name of your book on it, even if you will be the only one wearing it. For my book, Arboregal, I painted a lot of cottages in the giant tree of the story. All this art is available as T-shirts, coffee mugs, caps and prints, among many other paraphernalia. If you want to be inspired check on the store links at my website: sandru.com
- Free e-Books. Caution: This subject creates heated discussions among authors. Free e-Books are free advertising. Which of two options would you choose?
- If my e-books don't sell, I don't make money, and I will be unknown.
- If I give my e-books away for free, I won't make any money, but I will be known.
- If you choose free e-Books, consider the free e-Books as loss leaders, which eventually may inspire the readers to come back for more of your books.
- Reviews. Especially, good reviews for your books are free advertising. But if you don't sell many books you will not get reviewed. It is a catch-22, no books sold, no reviews, no reviews, no books sold… . Amazon has clamped down on fake/paid for reviews; only buyers of books or e-Books can review them. Good reviews are needed for priming the book-selling pump. I realize that what I will suggest is sacrilegious to some writers, but ask people you know to read your book and post their reviews. If you don't have those kinds of friends, participate in reading clubs and make some.
- Others. Business cards with your book title, or bookmarkers. At Halloween I give candies and bookmarkers advertising my YA Fantasy book. How about the back window of your car displaying your book title? Cheesy? Maybe. But how badly do you want to sell your books? (I confess I haven't tried this)
Each one of the above will provide some degree of success over a period of time. Do some or all of them, but manage your time wisely. It is too easy to be swallowed by the e-Media advertising vortex.
Emotional Appeal. What is the bestselling genre? Romance, lots of emotional appeal. Even if it is not romance, there are plenty of books with women's bare legs on covers. That may not be your or my choice for a book cover, but it's hard to argue that it does not have some appeal. The emotional appeal is not limited in the genre or cover, but also in the title and the blurb on the back of the cover. A book that will generate emotional appeal should resemble the front page of a newspaper. Earlier I mentioned my next book "The Pregnant Pope," is this title shocking? If it is it fulfills its purpose. Your book cover should not only be appealing but readable in a postage stamp size. That is how on-line buyers will see your cover most of the time.
For real stories and biographies (if not a famous celebrity) emotional appeal works as well. Following are samples from the blurb on the back cover of my book Escape from Communism: "Life under communism is cruel and inhumane…. It is a crime to escape by crossing the border illegally, and anyone caught is beaten and imprisoned, sometimes even shot…. However, I would rather have died than keep living as a communist slave. This is my story of what happened and how I reached freedom." It is a real story about escaping from Hell.
For non-fiction books, the most successful approach is often to address a real or perceived problem and offer "most successful" solutions, usually as numbered tabulation, like I used in this writing.
The author's reputation. As in your fame-quotient. How famous are you? Have you googled your name or book' titles? How many hits do you get? As of January 2013, JK Rowling gets almost 36 million results on Google. I get… well, it's a work in progress. The more times your name or book's name appears on search engines the more famous you are.
Why do you think Snooki's books sell? (Yes, she has more than one book.) How about Hillary Clinton? I admit Snooki and Hillary don't belong together, but they both rely on their fame to sell their books. What sells Stephen King, Dean Koontz, John Grisham, Stephenie Meyer, or E.L. James' books? A good story helps but fame is what gets that book mass appeal. You need to work to expand your own fame, and you don't have to become a guido or a guidette, (unless you want to.)
How do you get famous as an author? First, by advertising yourself and your books. Second, it is by doing what you love to do anyway. Write books. Your fame will increase by writing an outstanding book or write a lot of good books. Your books will get to be "good" the more you'll write, but it will take time. You will create your own market through your fame as an author.
What happens if you wrote bad books, as it may have happened when you started? You pull them from publication, rewrite them, or re-edit, and re-publish them. If they were bad, not many readers bought them in the first place and the tarnished reputation is minimal. You must continuously improve your fame with more and better books.
Fame is like gravity. If we take the analogy of the dust cloud, eventually the dust particles will clump together and create a new center of gravity. Your fame created by your many good books would become that center of gravity. Your fame creates a new market and the readers will be attracted to it, especially if it grows into a planetoid.
Bottom line, as they say in business, you must sell your books, and you must think and act like a businessperson and marketer. I enjoy writing my books, but it is better when my books sell. How about you?
As an author and Indie publisher you are in the entertainment business. Your fame sells your books; write many books and work on your fame. Live, write and prosper.

Usually one is used the next day and two are used one week later. I'm finding that the first dough ball rises well and has good puff, but the others do not rise nearly as much
Thanks for the info. The increased wetness isn't that big a deal, but the fact that it puffs up well only on the first day is a bit of an issue. Is there any way to address that?

League celebrates 93rd birthday
By MARCIA MERRINS
The League of Women Voters is elated today to celebrate our 93rd anniversary. Since our founding in 1920, the League has worked tirelessly to protect and uphold the constitutional right to vote, a right that composes the very foundation of our democracy.
However, while we celebrate our successes, we are concerned by stark challenges to our democracy. In the upcoming Supreme Court case Shelby County, Alabama v. Holder, the constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) of 1965 will be reviewed. The VRA is landmark legislation that ensures every American citizen, regardless of race, has an equal right to vote. Should the Court rule against the VRA, which prevents states from passing discriminatory voting rules, the right to vote for millions of Americans would be at risk.
The thought that the Supreme Court might soon overturn the Voting Rights Act and limit voting rights should send a chill down the spine of every American. The League believes we should be expanding voting rights, not curtailing them, and working to make elections free, fair and accessible to all eligible citizens.
The League has been committed to protecting voter rights since 1920, and we're not stopping now. The upcoming Supreme Court review of the Voting Rights Act shows that even 93 years after our founding, the League's work is needed more than ever.
The League of Women Voters of Chautauqua County is one of nearly 800 Leagues in all 50 states that works to protect voters' rights. Since 1920, the League has worked to educate and inform voters. We respect all points of view, and never support or oppose candidates for office, or political parties.
This is what sets us apart from so many organizations, and it is why we welcome new volunteers to take part in our work here in Chautauqua County.
Membership in the League is open to men and women of all ages. For more information about the League, visit lwvchautauqua.org. The League's next event will be March 21 at noon at the White Horse Inn. "Are Our Schools Falling Behind?" is the hot topic for this luncheon. To guide us through this complicated discussion will be an experienced panel of education leaders.
The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
Membership in the League is open to men and women of all ages. With 93 years of experience and 800 local and state affiliates, the League is one of America's most trusted grassroots organizations. Follow us on Facebook & Twitter.
Marcia Merrins is a Fredonia resident and League of Women Voters member.

Optimum Tire Shine
is a water-based, solvent-free, and VOC free formula that provides great shine to tires and vinyl surfaces. While
Optimum Tire Shine
can be easily sprayed, it has great cling to keep it on the tires. When applied properly, it provides great gloss for tires that lasts a few weeks with no slinging issues.
Show Video
Tire manufacturers recommend against solvent-based tire dressings since solvents can penetrate the tire and leach out and remove its protective UV and ozone components. This will cause yellowing and premature cracking and failure of tires according to the tire manufacturers.
Optimum Tire Shine
has no chemical solvents and therefore will not cause damage to the tires. Furthermore,
Optimum Tire Shine
contains the same UV and Ozone protectants that are used in the manufacturing of tires for additional protection against the elements.
Optimum Tire Shine
contains no chemical solvents or other environmentally hazardous compounds.
Optimum Tire Shine
contains no VOCs and only the finest methicones that are safe for tires, the consumer, and the environment.
