Canandaigua City Council on Thursday approved phase one of the final site plan application for the North Shore Development project on Canandaigua Lake.
Morgan-LeChase Development LLC, the project developer, is in the early stages of land acquisition. Once that is finalized, a site clean-up will begin, followed by construction of the first phase, which is expected to begin in late summer and be completed in late 2015, the company said.
Le-Chase Construction Services LLC and Morgan Management LLC are working together to develop the 21-acre parcel on the north side of Lakeshore Drive, across from Kershaw Park.
North Shore is a plan for eight buildings with roughly 450 one-, two- and three-bedroom residences overlooking the lake, as well as retail spaces, a clubhouse and designed outdoor environments.
The development is planned in five phases. Construction costs for the first phase are estimated at $25 million to $30 million, with the entire project costing more than $100 million.
The City Council had approved an $11 million payment in lieu of taxes agreement for the project in February. That was followed by approval by the Canandaigua City School District Board of Education. The Ontario County Board of Supervisors tabled a vote at its March meeting and is scheduled to vote on the tax abatement at its April 17 meeting.

William Shatner riveting at rare gig in Capo
At 82, William Shatner shows no indication of retiring from his wide-ranging career as actor, director, comedian, product pitchman, talk-show host, author, sci-fi convention attraction, pop culture icon – and now prog-rocker.
Friday night the Emmy winner made the final stop of a short trek promoting his recently released fourth album, Ponder the Mystery, bringing his latest musical venture to the Coach House for a rare club experience as unique and entertaining as its charismatic captain. A capacity crowd filled the San Juan Capistrano venue early and was rewarded with an engaged Shatner supported by celebrated progressive rock band Circa, featuring two former members of Yes, guitarist Billy Sherwood and keyboardist Tony Kaye, plus bassist Ricky Tierney and drummer Scott Connor.
On record, an array of guests helps flesh out this latest opus, from guitar virtuosos Steve Vai and Al Di Meola to Foreigner's Mick Jones and the Doors' Robby Krieger, plus a slew of keys masters, including Edgar Winter, the late George Duke and another Yes man, Rick Wakeman. But here, with backing boiled down to just the Circa quartet, the group and its star storyteller delivered a magnetic 90-minute version of Mystery, capped by a 20-minute encore more focused on the group's skills.
Although seated and using a workbook to guide him through lines and cues, Shatner's exaggerated spoken-word style – which has been lampooned over the years as much as praised, gaining considerable credibility with 2004's Ben Folds collaboration Has Been – here blended with dazzling near-symphonic compositions penned by Sherwood, who also produced the new disc.
As Priceline's pitchman noted early in the night, his current creation is about a guy who regains his joy of life over the course of an hour while sitting on the beach at sunset. That sounds like a fairly simple concept, yet it provided room for lengthy essaying in verses dealing with loss, the beauty and mystery of nature, mortality and personal redemption.
From the opening lyrics – "Where it's gone, I don't know, I'm missing something, give it back," his protagonist grappling with the realization of a life gone wrong – to the final Mystery track, the more hopeful "Alive," there were countless moments for Capt. James T. Kirk to employ his distinctive baritone while the band provided tuneful elements. Sherwood often added his strong tenor voice to choruses or played artful electric guitar solos that lighted the way for Shatner's lyrical trajectory.
"Manhunt" was one of several songs that fused melodic rock reminiscent of Asia with sharply imagistic storytelling. It certainly heightened the atmosphere that the audience, while cheering mightily after each selection, was otherwise quiet and tuned in during the songs themselves.
The title piece benefitted from rich harmonies by Sherwood and Tierney, as well as some of the headliner's most dramatic poetry, his evocative lines placed amid Circa's fills and counterpoint vocals. Even more beautiful was "Sunset," treated to a jazz-tinged backdrop and Kaye's textured orchestrations.
In all, it was a most unusual yet rewarding encounter, a contemplative piece of prog-rock theater that proves Shatner continues to go where no man has gone before.

Fragrance Industry The fragrance industry has a deep, global history. The art of perfumery has been practiced on every continent and virtually every country in our world. Organizations have been developed in more modern times to ensure safety and regulatory issues are addressed, kept up to date and made available to everyone. In addition, organizations and associations have been created simply to appreciate and expand the knowledge and love of fragrance as an art form. Chart of Fragrance Families About Perfumery The modern art of aromatherapy has studied and shown significant effects on well-being through the use of fragrance. But one doesn't need modern science to prove the beauty and value of fragrance. For thousands of years humans have practiced the art of perfumery, whether distilling fragrance from flowers for use in perfume, or burning resins and herbs for incense. We have always been aware of, and intrigued by, the entrancing scents of the natural world. Our lives are filled with fragrance. From the soft, seductive scent of a deep red rose, to the salty refreshing scent of sea air. Fragrance captures our experiences and imprints them in our memories. Perfume lifts our sense, lightens our spirit and can bring us into deeply calm and meditative states, or arouse our energy into vibrancy and elations. Who can say for certain where the art of perfumery began? The courts of Old Europe were known for their perfumes, many crediting France as the center of the perfume universe. But Ancient Egypt was also known for it's love of the deep earthy scents such as Amber and Frankincense. And many of the most valuable scents came from Asia. Fragrance is, and fragrance began, globally. Every culture on every continent has practiced the art of perfumery. It as intrinsic a thing as food, or clothing. The first perfume was incense, as the Latin word for perfume, "Par Fumum" means "through smoke". Incense was used primarily for religious and spiritual occasion. Many believed that their prayers and wishes would be carried through the smoke up to the heavens, directly to the ear and heart of God. In Egypt fragrance was truly developed into an art form. They exported their beautiful concoctions around the world, tourists traveled there to uncover their secrets and bring their enchantments home. Fragrant materials were taken and blended with animal fat to create perfumes that we would recognize today as solid perfumes. When the tomb of Tutankhamen was opened, among the artifacts was discovered a handcrafted jar containing a perfume unguent (solid) that was still fragrant after so many thousands of years. So what is it that fragrance provides for us, and why has it been an art form that has, like music, progressed side by side throughout all the changes of human history? Smell is a vital sense, one that enhances our experience, warns us of danger and soothes our spirits. The smell of smoke awakens our instincts to peril, the sweet, powdery smell of a baby comforts and eases our travails, and who could enjoy a cinnamon bun so thoroughly without the delight of smelling the sweet sugar and cinnamon. Fragrance is indeed woven into our very existence.

First Lady, Jacalyn Leavitt was welcomed to Castle Dale Elementary by the young students singing. Mrs. Leavitt was pleased with the welcome and even sang along.
Mrs. Leavitt shared pictures of the Governor's Mansion. She has written a few books but the Tornado Desk was the book she chose to share with the students. Tornado Desk is the story of the tornado that hit Utah. She read of the idea to make a desk out of the trees that had been destroyed in the tornado.
Mr. Leavitt joined Mrs. Leavitt later on and asked the students to sing a couple of songs to him. He then was asked different kinds of questions by children of all ages.
The principal, Geniel Huntington told of her appreciation and the great opportunity the Leavitt's had given to the Castle Dale Elementary students that day.

The origins and growth of the Decatur Gun Club parallel that of the clay target itself, and the games created to hone and test shotgun shooting skill. Shotgun sport shooting with live pigeons and later, glass balls existed in the U.S. from the early 1800's. But the first "clay pigeon" and "trap" to throw it were not developed until about 1880 by George Ligowsky. William Brett From Decatur was the second manufacturer of clay targets in the U.S., which he called the "Decatur Red Bird". Considered the oldest shotgun shooting sports club in Illinois, the Decatur Gun Club was founded soon after clay targets were invented. Chan Powers and Bert Hildebrandt were two of the mentors of the club, first located near East William Street Road and 22nd Street. In the early years, the club occupied sites in the Hess Park area, the Wyckles Corner area, the Macon County Fairgrounds, and an area west of the Fairgrounds before finding it's home of the past 61 years at the north end of Faries Park.
Designed by legendary hall of fame player, Raymond Floyd, this signature course features large, undulating greens, wide rolling fairways and native grasses. Located on Decatur's south side, the Park District's newest course is designed for players of all skill levels. From five tee locations and multiple angels, this signature Floyd course is truly designed for the championship to the novice golfer. Red Tail provides multiple tee locations from Championship to Junior, driving range with double tees, golf academy programming, and first tee learning center.
Hiking, picnicking, canoeing, fishing, birdwatching and limited hunting are available at this 750-acre park along Salt Creek.

Homes for Our Troops, a Massachusetts-based nonprofit organization, continues to be very active in Elbert County, building — and then donating — homes to disabled military veterans and their families.
The group is currently finishing up construction work on its fifth home in the Wildpoint Ranches subdivision just west of Elizabeth. That home, when completed later this year, will be given to retired Sgt. Matt Parker and his wife and daughter.
Parker, a U.S. Army veteran from Colorado, was severely injured while serving overseas.
Homes for Our Troops has also built and donated several homes in Elkhorn Ranch in the northwest corner of the county.
The new homes, valued in the $300,000 to $400,000 price range, are built using donations of money and materials from the private sector as well as workers from area construction companies and local volunteers.
Homes for Our Troops was founded in 2004.
According to its website, the organization is "strongly committed to helping those who have selflessly given to our country and have returned home with serious injuries since September 11, 2001."
The group assists severely disabled veterans and their families by coordinating the process of building a home that provides maximum freedom of movement and the ability for the disabled veteran to live more independently.
Volunteer coordinators are in charge of each build.
Homes provided by Homes for Our Troops are given at no cost to the veterans. An eligible veteran or service member may receive a Veterans Administration Specially Adapted Housing Grant of up to $64,960. Homes for Our Troops' assistance covers all costs over and above this grant.
County Commissioner Kurt Schlegel has represented the county at several ribbon-cutting ceremonies at the donated homes. The retired Marine has also pitched in himself, doing construction and landscaping work on a few of the homes.
"This is a tremendous organization," said Schlegel. "These veterans, who have served their country with honor, are disabled and in many cases have lost limbs or are paralyzed. Getting them into these homes is a way to make their lives a little easier so they and their families can live more stress-free and productive lives."

"I have them in the bronze color and they are my favorite pair of shoes. They look so amazing on my feet and I get compliments from everyone who sees them. However, the straps around the toes rub my skin in some places and it got pretty painful very quickly the first time I wore them. I suggest bandages or moleskin before wearing them. It makes a huge difference. Standing around in them is not the most comfortable, but still doable. I could probably stand around in them about an hour straight before I need to take them off. But most shoes hurt me, so maybe its just me. Still my favorite pair of shoes."

Apparently there is a lawsuit pending in court pitting Bowman's family and his purportedly former girlfriend over use of his name, legacy, etc.
Apparently there is a lawsuit pending in court pitting Bowman's family and his purportedly former girlfriend over use of his name, legacy, etc.
it's no wonder he ended up as he did, with all of this drama after his death I can just imagine what is was while he was alive.
I never knew he was a child actor/model. Hollywood is a cesspit and everyday people who weren't famous end up this way. A lot of depressed or bipolar people use coke or oxy to get high.
He was very talented and this memorial day I pray his soul is at rest. This is heartrending, indeed. I think hollywood and the figureskating community can be very unforgiving. I do hope that someone who truly loved him will publish his autobiography. To go to Hollywood or to get to the top of US FS is really tough without huge support. I find him a likeable guy. He reminds me so much of Nicole Bobek. Big talent, heart on their sleeves skaters. I hope and pray she will get the rehab she needs and not prison. So sad.
That's just really sad.....
As for her relationship with him, I'd tend to disregard the fiancee part of it, especially if she wasn't in the process of divorcing her husband BEFORE Chris's death. Otherwise, it's just too convenient to claim that they were going to get married.
Otherwise, at least in states like NY, only the parents, spouse and/or children have legal rights unless there is a will. Not sure of the precedence in Detroit or LA. If they were business partners, I would think that she only has some rights to use his image if that was the core of the business.
Is there really that much of a demand for Chris's image? He's been out of the limelight for so long, even before his death, that I can only imagine interest from within the skating community.
Wasn't there a video on youtbue about Chris and Frank Carroll and how upset Frank got at one event during a practice session. I can't find it now...
Perhaps someone asked that it be removed, maybe Frank himself. I think it's absurd, this legal game and as I said, even from the grave Bowman's story will serve as a cautionary tale to athletes and others who think they are in control of the drugs. I believe in the soul and this thread only makes me want to pray he is finally at peace. I don't remember a lot of comment at the time of his death from all the big names in the sport. Was this story basically ignored or did the USFSA have something kind to say?
Did John Baldwin ever make a statement about him? They remained friends.
They did a video tribute to him at US Nationals and held a moment of silence in his honor. and as stated above there were statements made in the media by several who knew him (Browning gave a competitor's prospective, Frank a coach's, and Baldwin was teh friendly voice).I don't remember a lot of comment at the time of his death from all the big names in the sport. Was this story basically ignored or did the USFSA have something kind to say?

What a sad, sordid story.
There was a regret-filled comment by Carroll in one story or another. I'm sure Carroll remembers the talented young child he coached and wishes things could have turned out better. Often, what people tend to feel at a time like this is the wish that they could somehow have stepped in and changed the person, when of course that's next to impossible in someone involved with addiction. By and large, addicts come to have only friends who are also addicts. Thank goodness there are a good number of people with this problem who do manage to break free, but Bowman wasn't one of them. He seems to have given it a try, at least. I hope his soul is at rest now.
To make myself feel better, I went back to read about Tim Goebel and his post-skating career as a math whiz and volunteer helper of inner-city skaters.

Vascularity supplements Increasing the blood flow to the working muscles during exercise will permit to an increased energy supply which can enhance overall exercise capacity. Nitric Oxide (NO) is a natural substance in the body which increases vasodilation (widening) of the blood vessels which increases oxygen flow and the delivery of key nutrients and metabolites to the working muscles during exercise.
Myprotein offers a range of products which contain nitrate or intermediates of nitrate which convert to NO in the body to increase blood flow and energy delivery to the muscles. Each of these, used in the recommended dosage can be a potential ergogenic aid to short term high-intensity, resistance exercise and endurance-based performance.

Recent Reviews of Vitamin C Ester Eye Serum
Lose your lip lines, too – "In addition to using this around my eyes with the "Eye Lift" (works great, lines are gone) I also tried this, as the product suggested, on the lines around my lips (the ones that proclaim, "oh yes, I am older than you thought") and was amazed. I used the serum and looked in the mirror about 10 minutes later and did a double take because those lines seemed to have disappeared. I honestly took a hand mirror and went into a brighter room because I didn't believe what I was seeing….my eyes hadn't decieved [sic] me. I've since incorporated this in my morning routine for eyes and lips. —From Perricone MD
Hydrating – "It is almost as light as water, and it glides on the area around my eyes. It is a great base for my eye serum. I have no trace of dark circles around my eyes, and I think this serum has been a big factor in that." —From Sephora
This works - "I love this product! I have tried numerous products in the past two years for under eye wrinkles and this works. I used it with Dr. Pericone's eye lift and within two weeks I saw results I never saw with any other product." —From Perricone MD

Deeplinks Blog posts about Security
The discovery last week of another major flaw in TLS was announced, nicknamed "Logjam" by the group of prominent cryptographers who discovered it. It's getting so hard to keep track of these flaws that researchers at INRIA in France created a "zoo" classifying the attacks (which is not yet updated to include Logjam or the FREAK attack discovered in March). Despite the fact that these attacks seem to be announced every few months now, Logjam is a surprising and important finding with broad implications for the Internet. In this post I'll offer a technical primer of the Logjam vulnerability.
EFF recently updated our SSL certificate and configuration. This gave us an A+ rating on SSL Labs, a great jumping off point for reviewing a site's secure connection. What follows is a quick, technical guide to how we achieved this.
Generating a Certificate
First we generate an 4096-bit RSA private key with a strong passphrase. It's useful to have a "locked" version of the key for secure archival. The passphrase is stored separately in a KeePassX database.
openssl genrsa -aes256 -out example.com.aes 4096
Next we update a .cnf file to populate the fields we want filled into the final certificate. This is especially useful when the certificate uses the Subject Alternative Name field to specify additional domain names. Here's the format:
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
req_extensions = v3_req
United Airlines Stops Researcher Who Tweeted about Airplane Network Security from Boarding Flight to Security Conferences
Our client, Chris Roberts, a founder of the security intelligence firm One World Labs, found himself detained by the FBI earlier this week after tweeting about airplane network security during a United Airlines flight. When Roberts landed in Syracuse, he was questioned by the FBI, which ultimately seized a number of his electronic devices. EFF attorneys now represent Roberts, and we're working to get his devices back promptly. But unfortunately last week's tweet and FBI action isn't the end of the story.
On this day in 1993, the Clinton White House introduced the Clipper Chip, a plan for building in hardware backdoors to communications technologies. The chip would be used in American secure voice equipment, giving law enforcement agencies the explicit ability to decrypt its traffic using a key stored by the government. The White House promised that only law enforcement with proper "legal authorization" could access that key—and thus, the contents of the communications.
One of EFF's first major legal victories was Bernstein v. Department of Justice, a landmark case that resulted in establishing code as speech and changed United States export regulations on encryption software, paving the way for international e-commerce. We represented Daniel J. Bernstein, a Berkeley mathematics Ph.D. student, who wished to publish an encryption algorithm he developed, the source code for a program to run the algorithm, and a mathematical paper describing and explaining the algorithm.

Kill the Dead (Hardcover)
Supernatural fantasy's best antihero returns, in the high-octane follow-up to Richard Kadrey's acclaimed Sandman Slim
James Stark, a.k.a. Sandman Slim, crawled out of Hell, took bloody revenge for his girlfriend's murder, and saved the world along the way. After that, what do you do for an encore? You take a lousy job tracking down monsters for money. It's a depressing gig, but it pays for your beer and cigarettes. But in L.A., things can always get worse.
Like when Lucifer comes to town to supervise his movie biography and drafts Stark as his bodyguard. Sandman Slim has to swim with the human and inhuman sharks of L.A.'s underground power elite. That's before the murders start. And before he runs into the Czech porn star who isn't quite what she seems. Even before all those murdered people start coming back from the dead and join a zombie army that will change our world and Stark's forever.
Death bites. Life is worse. All things considered, Hell's not looking so bad.
Praise For…
"Powerful, entertaining and exotically profane."
-San Diego Free Press
"…endlessly inventive and high-octane…Kadrey's an excellent writer who's able to juggle all of it without dropping a single pin."
"Think Get Shorty meets Hellraiser."
-San Francisco Chronicle
"Everything a sequel should be; that is, more. … There's hardly a moment where you're not chewing your fingernails to the wrist wondering what happens next. … Kadrey is a hell of a writer, versatile and seasoned, and these pulpy, dark, ultraviolent novels are his best work yet."
-Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing
"James Stark, antihero of 2009's Sandman Slim, returns in this gritty, over-the-top tale of supernatural mayhem…Profane, intensely metaphoric language somehow makes self-tortured monster Stark sympathetic and turns a simple story into a powerful noir thriller."
-Publishers Weekly on KILL THE DEAD
"What's best displayed by Kill the Dead is Kadrey's snappy prose. From the first lines...you know you're in for a Chandler-meets-the-undead treat."
"Hilarious … belongs up there with Dresden Files and Felix Castor novels. … some of the best supernatural buddy comedy ever created. ... This is that rare sequel that's actually better than the first book (which was plenty great) and manages to take several leaps forward."

In the past, the American Idol judges have always used their one save of the season by the time the show reaches the Top Five. But that's not going to be the case this year.
Despite widespread expectation that any singer eliminated Thursday would be kept on the show so the competition would end on its scheduled week, country singer Janelle Arthur got the boot. And this despite getting a note of support from Dolly Parton, whose Dumb Blonde Arthur performed Wednesday.
LIVE BLOG: 'Idol' as it happened
Thursday's show spelled trouble for both the country singers in the Top Five: Kree Harrison joined Arthur in the Bottom Two.
But fans of Idol's glory days had to have been pleased. Not only did Clay Aiken and Fantasia perform, but Jordin Sparks and LaToya London were in the audience. And the night's biggest surprise? Paula Abdul returned for a brief appearance to show her support for Candice Glover, who performed Straight Up Wednesday.
Before briefly taking a seat at the judges' table between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, the original Idol judge proclaimed herself a big fan of Glover. "I've been watching this remarkable young lady captivate the audience week after week," she said.
So the save's still open. Guess the judges get to use it whenever they're good and ready.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Patriotism: How often do you wonder about patriotism. Just how patriotic are you? How much does your country mean to you. How much do we take for granted the freedoms we have come to expect and enjoy since our country came into being some 236 years ago. We are still a young country as far as countries go. I watched some of the recently concluded NCAA basketball championship. One of the things that bothered me is that as the National Anthem is played or sung, the lack of respect shown by some members of teams and the crowd in general. Very seldom does the crowd completely stop talking, put their hands over their hearts and reflect silently for a brief moment on our country. Without our servicemen and women protecting our country, there probably wouldn't be many basketball games played. A lot of the players leave their arms hanging to their sides during the National Anthem. This makes me angry. Stand up straight put your hand over your heart and be still and honor our country the way it should be honored.
I have seen this disrespect in many venues over the years, not just sporting events.
I attended a political convention one time and there the person sung all three verses of the National Anthem. By the time the singing concluded there wasn't a dry eye in the place. This song has such meaning. Rising above and prevailing against an adversary and establishing a country where freedom has flourished more so than any other country. We still have our problems, wrongs that go unrighted, cases of injustice, but we are still the best the world has to offer as far as I am concerned and I hope that everyone feels as strongly for their own country as Americans should feel about America.
I don't like politics very much, but they are very necessary. It's great for people to get out and campaign and I hope they do it with some dignity. I have never liked politicians that try to shovel dirt on the other guy just so they look better. Tell me why I should vote for you, don't tell me why I shouldn't like so and so. Who are you, what are your qualifications, what can you do for your country, what's your plan to make things better. Don't tell me what's wrong with him or her, tell me what's right about you.
Back to patriotism, I have been to Ferron Elementary a couple of times this year and they have been focusing on patriotism. They had a patriotic assembly. They say the pledge of allegiance each day. They are memorizing the National Anthem. It's so inspiring to see these tiny kids, sing the National Anthem. They are also learning to recite and sing other patriotic songs and important American quotes. They are learning about their country every day. I think this is a super idea. The focus they are putting on this is encouraging and very important.
Maybe those basketball players (and others) needed a little more training on being respectful. It's almost the parade season in our county and when our flags come down the street in a parade, get up off your back side and be respectful, put your hand over your heart, take your hat off, I don't care how cool you are, show some respect.
I guess, I can say these things because my dad was a veteran and my father-in-law, they both fought in World War II and my father-in-law helped liberate the concentration camps. Those people were so grateful for the help of these soldiers, they just cried when they arrived and their captivity was over. He didn't talk much about those war days, but every once in awhile you would get a story. Those experiences have helped shape our nation.
That reminds me of a quote from the Eagle scout dinner this year, Dennis Dooley said, "Not too long after the war in Afghanistan started the British troops supported us. There were quite a few troops over there from Great Britain at the time. Tony Blair, was the Prime Minister of Great Britain and for those of you who don't know anything about Parliament. You may expect it to be a very staid and quiet meeting. But they have this tradition called question time and it is not at all calm. As a matter of fact, it usually turns into a shouting match. They don't have desks in Parliament. They just have benches, and basically the opposition parties will shout questions to the Prime Minister, and he is expected to field these questions. In this case, the opposition was giving Tony Blair a real hard time about supporting America. It got into almost a shouting match. Mr. Blair stood up, looked at the opposition leader, directly across the room and said, 'I will remind the right honorable gentleman that there are only two people who offered to die for this freedom and asks nothing in return. One is Jesus Christ and the other is the American soldier. So we will support them.'"
