It was originally built to link the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. The 105-mile path is level and easy; however, water is scarce along the way (found only at locks 21, 22 and the Visitor Center), so be sure to bring plenty, especially during hot days. The landscape varies from forest to grasslands to marsh to farmland, and the trail is particularly pleasing during fall, when the leaves are changing colors. The Hennepin Canal Parkway has become a cyclist's paradise and an exceptional spot for fishing, birding, horseback riding and a wealth of outdoor recreation.

In our house the basement toilet is up more than a foot from the cement floor. We want to lower it. The sewage pipe from the toilet goes through the cement and probably bends, then continues on to attach to the main sewage line to the septic tank. My question is how much of the pipe that goes straight down from the toilet and before it elbows, do we need in order to get a good flush or does it matter?

As Harrisburg marches on in the IHSA Class 4A football playoffs this week, the Bulldogs' defense is setting the tone, in a dominant tune that is starting to catch on among other teams.
Herrin got a loud dose of Harrisburg's D on Saturday when the Bulldogs barked their way to limiting the Tigers to 12 yards of offense in the first half, but also was responsible for a touchdown and a safety late in the game.
Herrin finished with just 29 rushing yards on 21 attempts and seven first downs, many of which came against the 'Dogs second team. Herrin didn't reach Bulldog territory at Taylor Field until 2:00 to go in the fourth quarter.
Herrin's initial first down didn't come until the second quarter and Harrisburg forced three turnovers.
There's no doubt that was one of the many things that impressed head coach Jason Roper.
"When our first group was in there and to me that was the most impressive thing.," he said Monday. "The pressure we were able to put on them really affected them and our defense is playing pretty good right now, but we know we are going to have our hands full Saturday."
Harrisburg will once against host at home when they welcome Columbia (9-1) Saturday at 2 p.m.
Columbia knocked off Mt. Carmel 57-22 this past Saturday, while the Bulldogs are looking to advance to the second round of the playoffs since the state championship season of 2000.
In 2005, the last time Harrisburg won a playoff game, that team ended up losing to Anna-Jonesboro in the second round.
Since a 48-13 loss to Marion in Week 3 of this past season, Harrisburg's defense has given up 91 points and are averaging 13 points per game.
That could play to be beneficial as the Eagles (winners of the Cahokia Conference) come in averaging 45 points on offense.
It's a battle Roper feels his players are well prepared for.
"We are getting into some things where we are moving around and I feel like we are defending the spread a lot better because we able to get into some different looks and move people around. We can bring pressure from different places.
"To do that our kids have to be smart and know our scheme and be able to execute it. Give them credit, they've been able to do that and it's been effective."
To that notion, Roper believes there was a big lesson to be learned from that Marion loss.
"We were unable to do that against Marion," Roper said. "It's something that we've learned from since that point on. We have a very smart, talented bunch, that as good as they are always wants to get better."

|In response to Re: tile-in kitchen sink
: I want to install a flush-mount tile-in sink. I plan to set the tile in thin-set mortar on 1/4" wonderboard over 3/4" plywood. The sink is about 3/8 inches thick and the tile is about 1/4" thick. I assume that if I use a 1/4 X 1/4 square trowel, it will give me a flat surface from the counter into the sink, if I set the sink onto the wonderboard. Is the wonderboard a suitable surface to support the sink, or should I put 1/4 plywood shims under the sink instead of the wonderboard? If I should place the sink on the wonderboard, should I first fill in cracks and edges with mortar? thanks

Hot Since 82's "Sundown" came out back in April, but I recently discovered it for myself, and it's too good not to post. With a great after-hours vibe and plenty of bass, it's a tune that just keeps on giving. I've also included his most recent release, a remix of Los Suruba's "Mantis," which will easily satisfy your need for grooves. Hot Since 82 seems to be an awesome deep house talent and we should all stay updated on his future releases.
GO DEEP after the jump!

That's what she said
I can think of no better place than Mount Ainslie, if I were a Satanist in the ACT and I wanted to celebrate a Black Mass near Parliament. It's not clear if it's Crowley's, LaVey's, or some other kind of ritual, but then if you're in Canberra, I suppose, you take what quasi-gnostic rituals you can get.
Catch the Fire Ministries pastor Daniel Nalliah has organised a "prayer offensive" to combat evil forces including witchcraft, homosexuality and abortion.
The discovery of a "black mass altar" at Mount Ainslie in Canberra by a group of school students had inspired him to organise a prayer gathering at the area on Saturday.
"The type of altar discovered on Mount Ainslie pointed to a black mass and the work of dark forces wanting to cast spells on Australia and federal parliament," Mr Nalliah said.
That's… what she said.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
When does the newspaper become news, well probably when the Castle Valley homeschoolers visit the newspaper office to see just what makes a newspaper office tick. The workings of a newspaper office is not so much what's going on inside but what's going on in the outside world. Everything that goes on in Emery County is of interest to the local newspaper the Emery County Progress. The students came to the office at 410 East Main in Castle Dale to get a feel for the life of those involved in putting out a weekly paper. The editor, Patsy Stoddard went over the workings of the paper with the students.
Who is getting married and who is going on a mission? All of these things may be of interest to those in the county. The real stories deal with the people in the county and what they are doing. It's not just county people doing things in the county, but county people as they venture out into the world and the impact they make there.
As the people go far and wide, the people left behind like to know where they ended up and what they are doing now. The newspaper likes to do stories like that to keep people informed.
People who work at newspapers in rural communities are always going in a hundred directions at once. It seems the flurry never dies down, you will sometimes think, "Oh when this is over, then it will get better," but it never does it seems sometimes like life is one continuous day where it never stops and never begins and never ends, but just goes around and around.
The people are the lifeblood of a newspaper. If people didn't live, work, get married, die and play football, writers wouldn't have anything to write about.
A typical day for a newspaper is filled with many activities and functions. The day begins early, some days begin with photo shoots, after taking the photos, the reporter arrives at the newspaper office to download the photos and check for the ones that are the best. Also, a story must be written to accompany the photos. The editor will choose the photos that she likes the best to go with the stories. Photos that contain interesting people doing interesting things are always the funnest to put into print.
Each photo taken that is to be used in the newspaper, must be put through a photo process. If the photo is to be reproduced in black and white then the color must be stripped out of the photo. Most digital cameras take photos that are very large and must be resized to work properly in the newspaper. After the photos are taken care of then they are ready to be put onto a page for reproduction. The photos and story are arranged on a page in an attractive manner.
Newspapers sell ads to people who are trying to sell items or to advertise their business. Customers come into the office and talk about the ads and what they want to accomplish with them. The newspaper people help them to design the ads and bring the information to the customers.
An event can become more important if the newspaper is there to cover the activity. Pictures and/or a story can appear in the newspaper and the event becomes bigger and more people know about it. The newspaper covers most of the events in the county. As the reporters run from place to place to gather the news they learn a lot about different subjects. On this particular day, a World War II Veteran came into the Progress office to talk about the war and other experiences in his life. He belonged to the Civilian Conservation Corps, during the 1930s. The old man now 92 years, recalls fondly the days of old and the projects and jobs he was involved with during this time. While he was stationed in Germany, he was able to capture a man who turned out to be a major war criminal. The stories of the past can become stories for today as people learn about the past and the people who lived there and accomplished the things that they did. Building a bridge from the past to today is a task the newspapers can bring about as people read stories of days gone by.
Children can learn about war and the Veterans that fought in the war if they read stories about them. Stories and histories can be lost if they are not recorded. Newspapers can help with preserving history by telling the stories of the past along with the stories of today.
Newspapers are all about words. One of the greatest challenges is to make sure all the words in all of the articles are spelled correctly. This is not an easy task and time is spent each day looking up words and reading stories over and over to try to catch any mistakes in the text.
Besides taking care of customers, the newspaper people cover a lot of meetings in the county. The commission meetings can be very boring, but very are usually filled with good information. The reporter takes notes and brings the information back to the office to write up the story. It is a good thing to let people know what is going on in the county and to keep people informed.
The county is a very busy place. People have accidents and other things that happen to them. The newspaper also knows about the calls that the sheriff's office goes on. Some of the more interesting things are reported about, but a lot of the calls are just routine. The court system also has a lot of news as the people who have commited crimes go through the system.
It's interesting to learn about the crazy things people do and get that information ready to go to the public.
While observing in a newspaper office, you will see the workers take a lot of phone calls and questions from the public. Sometimes people will call with suggestions or events which they would like to see the newspaper cover.
The students asked many questions and everyone was given a newspaper to taken home.

面倒 Mendokusei...
no, but i wanted to scratch their car, as they were parked in the school driveway.
I wanted to not only hit the teacher once i really REALLY wanted to hurt him, just because overall hes a teacher that everyone hates, not being offensive or anything but hes an indian teacher and hes the ones that makes an image of stereotypes, hes like seriously a curry muncher, i admit not being a SUPER GOOD student, but being racist to a student, screaming at them and telling them they are hopeless and have no future at all because of playing a game in a computer class isn't really fair, and plus he had been picking on me for a very long time i was in year 10 lucky my friend stopped me from punching him otherwise i woudnt even be in uni right now
yes my english teacher my freshman year in college. although he was a english instructor he was a poet. so he mostly yapped about that. and he never gave good criticism on our homework & assignments. instead he said "good job" then later give you a grade of "c" or "d". I'm like wth geezus at least teach us how to improve. soo misleading. yeah no one passed his class with a c higher. bad professor. tsk tsk slaps!
Having fun in the sun, but always making time for everything I enjoy. :)
of course!

Yes, sooo badly. -.-* but i dont wanna get suspended
asians have sexy slanted eyes. BE JEALOUS
Yes and No. Yes, because I already graduated and I was p.m.s.ing that day. No, because I would feel bad for her. She's a new Latin III teacher from Croatia.
Back in a jiffy!
why not..when he think he is the boss and take money without doing his work and make the class instead of ..**subject**.. to "who is the famous person went through something" and before the final by one week or so he give the exame 50 MSQ with its answers for study while you don't understant the subject it self
I always wanted to slap my kindergarten teacher ass when I was young because she was hot...
i would want to slap them cause they're so dumb!
my teacher didn't know how to spell intimacy, he said it probably wasn't in our vocab. but i guess it wasn't in his either..... STUPID TEACHER!!!

comfy and stylish boots
"very comfortable. low heels.i expected a pair of tight boots (dress boot like) but it runs a little wide. so you can wear jeans and put your legs in without a problem. that being said, it still makes your leg look slim.quality looks great. good value."

Decent Boot
"I thought the boot was nice. The leather is high quality however I wasnt too thrilled with the way it was made.I saw some glue traces where the heel comes together with the body of the boot. It is comfortable, runs true to size. In general, its a decent shoe!"

I wish these fit me!
"These boots were quite comfortable for my feet, but not for my calves. The main problem for me was that the top of the boots hit my knee caps, and that caused the opening to be little too small for me to wear jeans comfortably with the boots. (Since the boots were made for longer calves than me, the tight part of the top of the boot hit the largest part of my calves.)I'm 5'4" and my legs are not that long. If you've got longer calves than me, I recommend trying these beautiful boots out--but I had to return mine :("

Prapiroon was winding down on October 18, 2012. The U.S. Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center reported that the storm had sustained winds of just 35 knots (65 kilometers per hour). By the time the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this natural-color image, Prapiroon lacked the distinct eye and spiral arms it had sported days earlier. Prapiroon was forecast to continue weakening as it moved toward the east-northeast over the Pacific Ocean.
While observing the dissipating storm, MODIS captured something else: von Karman vortices.
Though we think of ocean water and air as completely different things, they are both fluids, and when fluids encounter obstacles, they can form spiral eddies. The air-flow obstacle responsible for these vortices was likely Cheju (Jeju) Island. A volcanic peak on Cheju, Halla Mountain, rises to 1,950 meters (6,398 feet) above sea level. The spiral eddies extended about 720 kilometers (450 miles) south of the island.

Asheville offers a rich cultural environment with a diverse and active live theater scene. In addition to some great live music, this year has some really exciting stage productions. From Hamlet, concluding the Montford Park Players summer outdoor season, to the innovative Diavolo Dance theatre shaking up the Diana Wortham Theatre in October, there's something for everyone. The Montford Park Players perform in our own historic neighborhood under the stars during the summer and in the historic Masonic Temple Theatre during the winter. You can get the VIP treatment at their productions when you stay at our B&B or any Asheville Bed and Breakfast Association Inn.
The NC Stage has been putting on professional theatre in downtown Asheville since 2002 and their season begins on September 18th with a world premiere, "Stalking the Bogeyman", based on a powerful story first aired on NPR's This American Life. The Asheville Community Theater (ACT), is one of the oldest community theatres in the nation and has lots of fun in store this season. "Annie Get Your Gun", "Caberet" and "Spamalot" are just a few of this year's offerings on the ACT stage. The Flat Rock Playhouse, The State Theatre of North Carolina, is just a 30 minute drive away. Their current production is the thriller "Deathtrap" with "CATS" coming in September. What I'm really excited about, though is the line-up this year at The Dianna Wortham Theatre at Pack Place right in downtown Asheville. Big name live music, comedy, dance and multimedia stage productions are coming to their Mainstage Series. They just finished up La Reina, an epoch spectacle blurring the genre lines, combining dance, acrobatics, ancient texts, magical costumes, light, shadow and soundscapes to explore power and transformation. How does one follow a show like that? They do it with Ruthie Foster, Sandra Bernhard, Chic Gamine, The Diavolo Dance Theatre and the incredible Japanese drummers of Yamato.
Other live theatre venues in the area are the Sourthern Appalachian Repertory Theatre (SART) at Mars Hill College, The Anam Cara Theatre Company performing eclectic, avant garde theatre in West Asheville and the Terpsicorps Theatre of Dance. In the small town of Burnsville you'll find the Parkway Playhouse too. You can find an interesting article on the Parkway Playhouse and their artistic director in last Sunday's Citizen Times Living Section.

While neighborhoods surrounding most of the nine-mile West Creek are densely developed, this 324-acre reservation preserves a valley of rocky gorges, forest-draped hillsides, floodplains and babbling brooks.
The West Creek watershed has influenced settlement and development patterns for two centuries. Remnants of abandoned quarries and the comfortable homes of quarry owners can still be found in the watershed today, which drains the cities of Parma, Seven Hills, Brooklyn Heights, Independence and portions of North Royalton and Broadview Heights before emptying into the Cuyahoga River.
West Creek Reservation invites the cyclist, hiker, picnicker and birdwatcher to a varied upland and wetland landscape. Nesting birds include red-tailed hawks, wood ducks and screech owls, and migratory species such as American redstart, indigo bunting, Lincoln's sparrow and great crested flycatcher can be found there as well.
Perhaps the most exciting aspect of West Creek Reservation is the discovery of new urban watershed stewardship techniques. The developed and restored natural areas of the reservation are a living laboratory supplying data and demonstrating real-world solutions for stormwater and pollution control.

TREMONT – The Houlka Wildcats held off a late surge from Tremont on Friday night for a 54-48 victory in the Division 4-1A tournament championship game.
Lewis Moore led the Wildcats with 14 points as Houlka fell behind early but shut out the Eagles in the second quarter to build as much as a 13-point lead in the second half.
Ada Zolesi, who finished with 15 points, brought Tremont back late with seven points down the stretch to narrow the gap to four, but Houlka held on.
"They were putting it where they needed to and we couldn't stop it," Houlka coach Guy McDonald said. "They had us shut down in the first quarter but we spread it out in the second and were able to drive it on them and we were able to create some holes and some shots."
Tremont led 16-8 after the first quarter as Carlos Badal hit a couple of shots from the perimeter and Daniel Sturtivant was active in the paint. Houlka pressed in the second, however, and completely shut down the Eagle offense.
Big shots from Moore, as well as Jesse Kelly from the perimeter allowed the Wildcats to quickly close the gap and eventually take a 7-point lead into the break.
"I think the full-court defense kind of got them out of their rhythm and they made some unforced turnovers," said McDonald. "We were really just stopping, trapping and getting back."
Houlka increased its lead to double digits in the third. Tremont got to within four with less than a minute to play but the Wildcats were able to hit just enough free throws to put the game away and secure the title.

Microsoft has introduced a Windows 8-based 9.5mm thick "Surface" tablet with a USB 2.0 port, rear/front cameras, a built-in stand (on rear only 0.7mm thick), HDMI output, and a magnetic cover.
The tablet weighs only 0.680 kilogram and comes with an Ivy Bridge Core i5 processor or an ARM processor.
Under the bonnett is Microsoft Office, PDF markup apps and digital ink support is also built in.
The tablet has a 10.6 inch high-definition touchscreen and front and rear facing cameras, which all fit into a 9.3 millimeter, 1.5-pound frame.
But Surface also brings some new innovations to the tablet space. The device's cover, for instance, flips down to become a full keyboard. It features a rigid case built from magnesium, a pen that clicks into the tablet and a built-in kickstand.
Microsoft is recycling -- or extending -- a brand name it has used before. The first "Microsoft Surface" device, which began shipping in in 2008, was a giant touchscreen computer aimed at retailers and other commercial customers.
Microsoft's Surface tablet will first be available on a version of Windows 8 called Windows RT. That operating system will run on microchips designed by ARM (ARMH), which are inside 95% of the world's smartphones and tablets. Another version of Surface will be designed for the fuller Windows 8 operating system, which will run on Intel chips.
Microsoft didn't give specifics, but the company said the Windows RT version will be available sometime in the last quarter in 32- and 64-gigabyte versions, and will be priced "comparably" to other tablets on the market.
The full Windows 8 version will be available three months later in 64- and 128-GB versions. Microsoft plans to set its price point in the same zone as ultrabooks, which typically run around $1,000.

Emery County Commissioners met on Sept. 8 and Commissioners Jeff Horrocks and Laurie Pitchforth were present. Commissioner Gary Kofford was out of town on business.
One of the first of the items on the Commission agenda was the consideration of the purchase of two 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe's for $61,000 for the Sheriff's Office. The Commission approved $61,000 for the purchase of these vehicles and $1,575 for side bars on three vehicles.
The Commissioners wrote off a $2,000 ambulance bill for a man in a care center, who is unemployed and has no means of paying the bill. The building permit fee for Cleveland Town Fire Station of $9,500 was waived so this money can be used with the construction of the fire station. The county does not normally charge local governments a building fee.
The Commissioners approved a resolution establishing a new travel policy for Emery County employees and elected officials. This travel policy rescinds all prior travel policies, rules and regulations. This new travel policy will be in compliance with current IRS rules and requirements. Mary Huntington, the commissioners and staff put in a lot of time revising the Emery County Travel Policy. New travel expense forms will be sent out with the resolution to all employees and elected officials.
The Commission approved of the Emery County Care and Rehabilitation Center bylaws which increased the members on the board to nine. All geographic areas in Emery County including Green River are now represented. The Care Center Board members are as follows: from Ferron Gil Conover, Richard Seely from Green River, Dan Wells Huntington and Cleveland, Connie Nelson Ferron, Sandy Lake from Emery, Bruce Stilson Orangeville, Tom Humphrey Castle Dale/Orangeville, Caleen Wilcox the Cleveland and Elmo area, and Laurie Pitchforth representing the Commission.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said, "Emery County took possession of the Aquatic Center one year ago, it was under warranty for one year. We had our final inspection after the one year was up. There are two change orders that need to be made. Change order #39 to repaint the sound barriers that are hanging in the swimming pool area. This will cover the stain caused by excessive humidity in the room. The humidifiers were not working properly and had to be adjusted. The cost will be about $5,000. The general contractor has agreed to cover half of the cost. The county will pay $2,530 to have that work done.
Change order #40 is to add hardware to the main gate of the Aquatic Center by the outside pool next to the parking lot. That is a safety issue and by statute and they have to have this control. The cost will be $1,761. Because there is still money in the contingency fund for the pool, the money will not come out of the general fund. The contingency monies were left over after the pool was completed. Approval was given to pay for Change Order #39 and #40.
The Commission considered and approved a cooperative agreement between the State of Utah (Division of State Parks and Recreation) and Emery County for the development of the Buckhorn Information Center. The County will receive $40,000 for the installation of restrooms and be responsible for the maintenance of the Buckhorn Information Center and restrooms. The monies will be delivered soon so the county can order the facilities before the costs go up.
The commission agreed to renew the Title V right of way for a portion of Green River Airport Road (CR 1007). The road crosses government land and the original agreement was for 20 years. They have now agreed to allow the road to cross the land in perpetuity. There is no cost to the county it is simply a renewal.
Approval was given for out of state travel for James Nielsen of the Weed and Mosquito Department. He will travel to Sacramento, Calif. to receive an award. Nielsen works with a cooperative group in Carbon and Emery counties. They have put together 18 other smaller groups that spray noxious weeds, take out plants that are not needed in the area and re-vegetate some of the areas. He has won an award and has requested permission to go to Sacramento for the purpose of accepting that award. His expenses travel, meals, and lodging will be paid for by the Bureau of Land Management. This is quite an honor to receive this award. The county has three people in Emery County doing the weed and mosquito work.
Commission Reports: Pitchforth reported the Historical Society, Cowboy Poetry Night at Castle Valley Outdoors was a fun event. "I encourage everyone to come next year for a good time. The care center walls are ready to go up and they are making good progress. They are in the process of hiring another director. All the new carpet has been selected. New landscaping is underway at the Senior Center in Ferron," said Pitchforth. A Senior Lamb Fry at Little Bear along with entertainment was held for seniors on Sept. 11.
Peach Days will have horse races, demolition derby, soap box derby, games in the park and a parade. Melon Days in Green River is Sept. 18-19. "They do a good job on entertainment, there is lots of food, all the melons you can eat, many venders and a huge parade," reported Pitchforth.
Sept. 26 all County Employees are invited to a luncheon at the Castle Dale Pavilion. John Judd will be serving pulled pork sandwiches. RSVP by Sept. 15.
Steve Barton reminded the group of Sept. 12 the Little Grand Canyon Marathon which has almost 400 people signed up. The marathon will be from Huntington to the Little Grand Canyon.
Jeff Horrocks reported: The last Commission meeting was held in Green River to accommodate the people of Green River. The Board of Equalization in Green River was held on Aug. 25. A few people came in to discuss their property taxes.
The Castle Country Partners (Carbon, Emery, Grand, San Juan Counties) met at the Museum of the San Rafael on Aug. 27. Commissioners Pitchforth and Horrocks attended that meeting. The Castle Country Partners exchange information on travel and tourism also work situations in the counties such as businesses coming in. Following that meeting the group toured the Huntington Power Plant.
The Huntington Power Plant was recently renovated and it is now the most efficient coal powered plant in the State of Utah. Several million dollars were spent in the renovation. The tour was very enjoyable. It is nice to know that when you turn on the lights the power comes from Emery County. Senator Hatch and Senator Bennett had meetings in Provo and Salt Lake that were very well attended.
During the Green River Clinic Board meeting Sept. 1, board members discussed how they are moving forward with the clinic addition which will make it very nice for the Green River people and people that travel through the area and by being able to treat medical cases, give physicals etc., in Green River.
"I also attended the Green River City Council meeting. They are in the process of upgrading the infrastructure in the community. They did implement a city property tax which they have not had for several years. With that funding they hope to improve the city of Green River. At the local Government Trust Meeting we are working on contracts for contract employees and we put out four bid to brokers of insurance," said Horrocks.

Early Years
From childhood Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec suffered from a rare congenital disease, which was the product of family intermarriage. Lautrec's poor health was compounded by two accidents when he broke both legs as a young teenager. While he was bedridden, Lautrec turned to drawing and painting – activities which he loved – and so began his extraordinary artistic career.
The artist and family friend, René Princeteau, gave Lautrec his first lessons in drawing, encouraging him to pursue this skill as the basis for his training in art. In Paris Lautrec attended art classes at the studio of the conservative academic portraitist Léon Bonnat. Further studies took place at the studio of the history painter FernandCormon.
During his student days, Lautrec copied the drawings and engravings of the masters – an essential first step in academic training. Students then received tuition in life drawing and painting of both male and female nude models in classical poses.
While studying at the Atelier Cormon, Lautrec met many talented artists including Vincent van Goghand Emile Bernard. Despite Cormon's traditional approach to teaching art, his studio acted as a springboard for the careers of many young avant-garde artists in Paris.

Library News Blog
From the Fall 2014 newsletter
This fall, the Library classroom has undergone some major changes. A new projection system that includes four interactive whiteboards, along with the comfortable new chairs, will definitely improve the learning experience of students. The 36-seat classroom is mostly used for library classes and workshops taught for courses for which students are required to complete an extensive research project. While 100-level sessions introduce students to the academic library and basic searching principles, higher-level sessions aim to prepare students to undertake more complex projects involving specialized resources within and beyond the Library. Now, freshmen and seniors alike will get to learn about the wealth of information sources in a visually attractive setting that allows for a more engaging, interactive instruction, well suited to the increasingly multimedia-rich content of library databases.
The interactive whiteboards, a high-quality projector, and sound system were purchased with Tech Fee funds. After the Library's proposal had been accepted, we thoroughly researched vendors and their products, making multiple site visits to assess available systems prior to purchasing. CLSS Director Raymond Jiggetts provided his expertise and feedback all along; he also oversaw the installation itself.
The model we ultimately chose accommodates a variety of teaching styles: because the interactive features are optional, it supports the more traditional instruction methods while also allowing for more experimental kinds of classes. All librarians have been trained in using the new boards and their fall semester workshops have benefited from this new technology.
Thanks to the Office Planning and Capital Projects, we have been able to complement the projection/sound update with the addition of bright new chairs. Exchanging our old, well-worn chairs with new ones wouldn't have been possible without the assistance of Holly Kallman, Sara Cuya, and Kishel John, who guided us through the process, assisted in the chair selection, communicated with vendors and oversaw the delivery. We are grateful for all their help.

Detail from Lawes' edition of "Fairburns Abstract of the New Metropolitan Police Act, Passed June 19th, 1829..."
From the Fall 2014 newsletter
New York Police Commissioner William Bratton has consistently stated that he follows Sir Robert Peel's nine principles of policing. These ethical standards of policing were set forth in early nineteenth century England and include the idea of community policing, the proper use of force, the protection of citizens, and proper and civilized ways that the police interact with the public. Peel, the "father of modern policing," was Prime Minister of Great Britain twice and a politician and statesman all of his life. Peel created London's police force in 1829. The first police were almost immediately termed "Bobbies" or less generously, "Peelers." The creation of the police force was promulgated in "The Metropolitan Police Act of 1829." This information is not new to historians of England or of the police. But we have found in the Warden Lewis Lawes of Sing Sing Archives in the Lloyd Sealy Library a unique "grangerized" edition of "Fairburns Abstract of the New Metropolitan Police Act, Passed June 19th, 1829..." This is an extra-illustrated copy of a common pamphlet. The term "grangerize" comes from James Granger (1723-76), whose five-volume Biographical History of England included many blank leaves so purchasers could illustrate the volume to their own liking. The technique was used as early as the 17th century, but the term "grangerized" stuck. Our fascinating copy includes Warden Lawes's bookplate (with the prison librarian bearing Lawes's likeness), a manuscript from Peel, an illustration of a "Metropolitan Police Man,", five steel engravings of Peel, and a colored engraving of a "Bobbie" questioning a young street urchin that he accuses of loitering (left). This outstanding little book illustrates once again the treasures found in the Special Collections Division of the Lloyd Sealy Library.
—Larry E. Sullivan, Chief Librarian

Series status: Cancelled but then revived
Performers include: Matthew Macfadyen, Jerome Flynn, Adam Rothenberg, MyAnna Buring, Charlene McKenna, Amanda Hale, Jonathan Barnwell, David Wilmot, and David Dawson.
TV show description:
This dramatic TV show begins in April 1889 in London — six months after the last Jack the Ripper killing. H Division is responsible for policing one and a quarter square miles of East London, a district with a population of 67,000 poor and dispossessed and also filled with factories, rookeries, chop shops, brothels and pubs.
The men of H Division had hunted Jack the Ripper and failed to find him. When more women are murdered on the streets of Whitechapel, the police begin to wonder if the killer has returned.
To investigate the killings, calm and meticulous Detective Inspector Edmund Reid (Matthew Macfadyen) and his troubled right-hand-man, Detective Sergeant Bennett Drake (Jerome Flynn), team up with Captain Homer Jackson (Adam Rothenberg), a US Army surgeon and a former Pinkerton detective who's an expert in the world of early forensics.
They cross paths with Tenter Street brothel madam Long Susan (MyAnna Buring). She and Jackson came to London from America and both reside at the brothel. Their relationship has become strained due to Jackson's attraction to one of Long's most profitable girls, Rose Erskine (Charlene McKenna). Rose longs to break free from her role in Whitechapel and travel the world.
Despite her husband's reservations, Reid's once-happy wife — Emily Reid (Amanda Hale) — is determined to make a new life by helping the fallen women of Whitechapel though she's still troubled by a terrible family tragedy. Meanwhile, sensationalist newspaperman Fred Best (David Dawson) knows a dark secret about the Reids' sorrow.
Episode #TBD
This TV series has not ended yet.
First aired: TBD

Trying new foods is one of the joys of buying produce at the farmer's market. Since it's still early in the season, most of the plants on offer are leafy greens and overwintered root vegetables.
In May I'd noticed the basket of red, gnarled bulbs labeled sunchokes at the Snakeroot Organic Farm booth, but I was too enamored with rhubarb, asparagus, and spinach to give them much thought. Last week I slept in, and when I got to the market most of the glamorous veggies were sold out. Determined that my trip would not be in vain, I decided to give the funny little tubers a try.
When I got home and searched online for recipes, I was surprised to learn that sunchokes are the same thing as Jerusalem Artichokes. I'd always assumed those were a rare, gourmet artichoke variety (some foodie I am). But Jerusalem artichokes don't come from the Holy Land, and they're unrelated to the spiky green artichokes I know and love. They're the tuber roots of the sunflower plant, and they can either be eaten or planted to grow flowers.
The story is that some Italian brought them home from the New World, and because their slightly sweet, earthy flavor reminded him of artichokes, he called them girasole articiocco, "sunflower artichoke." In a slow, intercontinental game of telephone, girasole turned into Jerusalem, and the rest is history. "Sunchoke" makes a little more sense, but sounds less exotic and sophisticated.
In stores you'll see pale brown sunchokes that look like a cross between ginger root and a potato. Snakeroot Farm grows a red-skinned variety native to Nova Scotia.
Like other root vegetables, sunchokes are harvested in the fall and available throughout winter and spring, which makes this post laughably out of season. I bought my sunchokes last weekend, but they may be impossible to find again until fall, so bookmark this page for October.
Sunchokes are crunchier than potatoes, with a consistency similar to water chestnuts. They can be grated raw into salads; sprinkle on sunflower seeds, and you're practically eating the sunflower circle of life. Sunchokes are mild, watery, and slightly sweet. They store inulin instead of starch. Because inulin is indigestible, it has minimal impact on blood sugars and it stimulates the growth of friendly intestinal flora (think of them as sunflowers in your colon). For some people inulin causes gastrointestinal discomfort, so if you've never tried sunchokes, start small and see how you feel.
These baked chips are lower in fat than the fried variety, with a nutty, caramelized flavor that stands on its own. I like them with nothing but salt and pepper, though garam masala might make a nice seasoning.
Baked Sunchoke ChipsSunchokes (1 large makes enough for 2 people)
olive oil
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
Heat oven to 400F.
Wash and scrub sunchokes very well. I find peeling them is not worth the effort because they're so bumpy. Slice sunchokes as thinly as possible, less than 1/8 inch thick.
In a medium bowl, toss with salt, pepper, and enough olive oil to coat. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in center of oven.
How long the chips should bake depends on how thick they are and your preference. Check them every 10 minutes. When thinner chips are browned, thicker chips might still be soggy. I baked mine for 20 minutes, until all the chips were crispy and the thinnest were a little bit burnt. Set them on a paper towel to cool for a few minutes before serving.
They're perfect beside a veggie burger!

New Bern Sun Journal
November, 10 1979
Just my way of sharing with family, friends, and anyone who will listen, the things that I have learned about my ancestors with a little bit about myself and my own little family in the mix.
It is important to share and ask questions. I am often amazed what is learned whether I am the one sharing or the one receiving information.ReplyDelete
My mom told me a story the other day that she thought she'd told me before. I asked her, again, to just write stuff down as she thinks of it. No special format, just write it down.ReplyDelete
Debi, I can definitely relate. My mom won't write stuff down so I just keep asking questions until she gets tired of talking.ReplyDelete
