BOAZ — The Boaz City Council at its regular meeting Monday approved two property purchases.
BOAZ — The Boaz City Council at its regular meeting Monday approved two property purchases.
The city is buying the former Beaulieu property through Boaz Investments LLC for $285,000 and about 10.25 acres adjacent to Hillcrest Cemetery from the Clark Johnson heirs for $70,000.
The council passed a resolution allowing Mayor Tim Walker to take out a short-term loan of up to $355,000 from First Bank of Boaz until permanent financing is set up for the land buys.
One-time net pay raises of $175 for full-time employees with a year or more of service to the city and $125 for part-time employees, paid on-call fire-fighters and full-time employees with less than a year of service were approved.
An ordinance was passed amending a previous ordinance that allows the city to charge an additional $2 for business license fees.
The Boaz Planning Commission will hold a public hearing at 6 p.m. Dec. 11 in the Mastin Conference Room at the Boaz Public Library to consider the zoning of recently annexed property owned by Boaz Water And Sewer Commission at 1278 College Ave., and a request from Jeff Scott for approval of preliminary plat for a four-lot subdivision on King Street.
The council held a work session after the regular meeting to discuss the budget and three at-large appointments to the alcohol review committee, which are expected to be announced at next week's meeting.

Incoming 1Ls / Re: First Year Law Classes« on: July 19, 2009, 11:32:31 PM »
My school is apparently trying to switch things up inre: the first year curriculum. Essentially, I will take Torts, Criminal Law, Civ Pro and legal writing/research first semester; Contracts, property, con law, elective and LWR second semester. I am thinking this might be beneficial in the way of less exams but tough in the sense of more material to cover in a quicker time. Any thoughts on one semester course difficulty vs courses that span the entire first year?
I am thankful for them not throwing 5 classes at me right away!

The Witty Comeback/
Guest post by Dan Saltzstein, a cocktail enthusiast and an editor in the Travel section of The New York Times. Do yourself a favor and follow him on Twitter.
The origin story of my house cocktail begins with a glass of amaro, the bitter Italian liquor flavored with a secret mixture of herbs, roots, dried citrus peel and who-knows-what. After a meal at Frankies Sputino, a terrific Italian restaurant in Brooklyn, a friend offered me a taste as they drink it in Italy: straight-up, after a meal, as a digestif. I wasn't a fan. Too syrupy, too bitter, too sweet. But, I thought at the time, this would go great with some seltzer and a splash of citrus.
So I tried that combo -- and loved it. The seltzer cut through the viscous amaro and some lemon (or a combination of lemon and orange) brightened its dark flavors. It was refreshing, tasty and (to use a word I try to avoid when writing about booze) addictive. I tried a few amari and settled on Averna, a Sicilian brand that is particularly herbal and dark. I drank that combo all through that summer.
Then I came into some prosecco, the sparkling Italian wine. I substituted it for the seltzer and loved the new combination. That became my house cocktail, which I dubbed the "12V," after our apartment number. But who wants to open a bottle of prosecco every time you want a cocktail? My experimentation continued.
Rye has always been my favorite base liquor for cocktails. I love its mellow sweetness (less than bourbon) and spicy aftertaste. (Michter's is great, as is the new Bulleit rye, but Old Overholt, with its $20 price point, is my go-to for cocktails.) [Ed. Note: Dan, is that for a liter? If ever in NJ, a liter of Overholt costs like $12 at Wine Library. Plus: unlimited cheese sampling!] So I tried rye, amaro and lemon -- ok, but too harsh. At the time, I was also playing around with homemade syrups, and had stumbled on ginger syrup, which I loved. I tried it with the rye, amaro and lemon. Perfection. The sweetness of the syrup mellowed the whole thing and the infused ginger added a kick that echoed the rye's spiciness.
A few weeks later, I was invited to a party thrown by my friend Kat, who has perhaps the most elaborate home bar set-up I've ever seen. [Ed. Note: Let the record show, Dan's not been to my house yet.] Maybe I was feeling a little competitive. I brought with me a bottle of Averna and some of my homemade ginger syrup. Kat was plenty busy with the grill and asked me to make a few rounds of my new house cocktail. I was happy to oblige. Our mutual friend Michael noted that the cocktail needed a new name. I asked him to come up with one. Without much thought, he said, "The Witty Comeback." I loved it, even though I had no idea what it meant.
"We were in Kat's kitchen, you were mixing the cocktail, and there was a bunch of folks bustling around, and it just popped in my head," he told me recently. "Also, I thought it would be appropriate for a drink that's not quite tart and not quite sweet."
Fair enough.
The Witty Comeback
2 ounces Old Overholt rye whiskey
1/2 to 3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice (about the juice of half a lemon)
1/2 ounce Averna amaro
1/2 ounce ginger syrup
Shake all ingredients vigorously over ice and serve in a chilled coupe glass. Garnish, if you want to be fancy, with a flamed orange peel.
Tasting Notes
I make my ginger syrup by bringing equal parts sugar and water to a simmer, then adding a handful of chopped ginger and, turning off the heat, letting it steep for about a half-hour, or until it's sufficiently gingery. (Note: it should be pretty darn gingery.)

Thank you, Ron Weber
Ron Weber finally received his overdue induction into the Hockey Hall-of-Fame this week. Mr. Weber was the radio voice of the Caps from 1974-1997, never missing a game in 24 seasons. Many folks have sung Mr. Weber's praises over the past few days and I will too.
When I think of the icons from the tough, gritty Capital teams of the 80s and 90s I think of names like Rod Langway, Dale Hunter, Scott Stevens and Kelly Miller. Ron Weber is also on that list, because it was Mr. Weber who explained hockey to us newbie fans and talked us through the night as we listened to games that weren't available on HTS or Channel 20. I always appreciated Mr. Weber's direct, objective style and never once minded his pro-Caps homerism, which he eloquently exuded without ever deriding opponents.
Mr. Weber was certainly guilty of wearing his heart on his sleeve. You could tune in to a game and quickly tell if the Caps were winning or if the game was out of reach solely by his tone. If Dale Hunter suckered me into being a Caps fan with his Game 7 goal against the Flyers it was Rob Weber who permanently reeled me in with his eternal optimism and unwavering loyalty to a team that routinely broke our hearts.
Speaking of Hunter, my favorite Ron Weber-ism was when the radio discussion would turn to No. 32, with Mr. Weber routinely noting that Hunter was hated in 19 of the 21 NHL rinks that housed hockey teams at the time. The exceptions, he happily explained, were Washington and Quebec City, two cities where Hunter was heartily cheered. So it's no surprise that my favorite Weber call was a regular season game at Quebec in
1990 1991 where the Caps won 12-2 10-3. When Dale Hunter touched the puck the fans in Le Colisee went nuts – and Mr. Weber made sure we knew why. About halfway through the game the fed up locals turned on the Nordiques and cheered every Caps score like it was their own. It made for a surreal listening experience each time the crowd roared as Mr. Weber, almost apologetically, would acknowledge yet another Caps goal. But what made this night unforgettable to this teenager was Mr. Weber's behavior in the booth. Although he could have made a spectacle of the Caps most dominating performance ever in a single game, he didn't. To me, that was the epitome of class.
There is one thing I wished for Mr. Weber that never happened. He retired after the 1997 season and of course the next year the Caps made their way to the Stanley Cup Finals. That must have been bittersweet for Mr. Weber, who toiled 24 years without ever calling a Stanley Cup finals match for his beloved Capitals. My wish was that Abe Pollin would have let him call the first period of Game 1 before turning the mic over to Steve Kolbe. To me, it would have been a perfect tribute to the person I considered to be the longest-tenured Capital ever. That never happened, but you know what did? The Hall of Fame came calling, and that's quite a bit more significant than my fleeting wish. Mr. Weber's name is now permanently etched alongside the greatest names in hockey. And he goes in as a Washington Capital!
On behalf of this Caps fan, thank you Mr. Weber!
Wait, let me do that again.
On behalf of ALL Caps fans, thank you Mr. Hall-of-Famer Ron Weber!

GFisher1- I agree with you (shockingly) - a lot of the newer fans have no idea who Weber is, but his praise needs to be sung. He was the voice of the franchise. Congrats Ron Weber.

Correction to the record, Ron Weber didn't "retire" after the 1996-1997 season, was "retired" by Susan O'Malley after the 1996-1997.
But the classy guy that he's always been, Weber lets everybody think it was his idea to step out of the booth when nothing could be further from the truth.

Excellent article Mr. El-Alaily
I'm a "Day-one" Caps fan and listened to Ron Weber starting in 1974. Just a magnificent announcer and a Caps Lifer. Surely many old Caps fans loved listening to Mr. Weber's broadcasts, and wish the new Caps ownership would hand him a MICROPHONE sometime. He's that good!
Used to listen to Weber and the Caps on 1500-AM, at night, from Norfolk VA, Melbourne FL, and even New Orleans, where the booming signal could be heard clearly.
Mostly I credit Mr. Weber with keeping early Caps fans hopeful during the woeful first six years. He sure savored the occasional Caps win, and I remember several of the we-finally-beat-them games where Washington defeated Montreal, Boston, Buffalo and the Islanders for the first time, after dozens of defeats.
And Weber had a classic almost-baritone announcer's voice -- was always informed at game time -- and gracious in both victory and defeat.
Hey Ted Leonsis -- Give Ron a Microphone!

Couldn't wait for him to go. He might have been a decent baseball announcer, since the game is as boring as his delivery was. I always hated nights when a game wasn't televised and I had to listen to him.

Ron was the consumate professional. He was in an era of great hockey broadcasters. His knowledge of the game and stats was unsurpassed and he had to make the game interesting in years of ineptitude on the part of the franchise.
Posted by: bundy44 | November 11, 2010 8:37 AM | Report abuse
I think it's pretty well-documented that Weber didn't retire, but was poop-canned.
I don't see why Weber would try to suggest otherwise and doubt he does.
Weber is still better than Kolbe. I don't think the Caps will win the Stanley Cup until they right the wrong.
No team has the right to win a Stanley Cup until they take care of the radio booth.
At minimum it means getting rid of Kolbe. Letting Weber do a few games would be nice too.
And, Mr. Snyder should be taking notes in Landover too......
Posted by: CF11555 | November 11, 2010 10:19 AM | Report abuse
Ron Weber was the greatest, grew up listening to him and Kolbe doesn't come close to comparing. Absolutely deserves to be in the Hall. (And I can't figure out why Caps fans need to still tolerate Kolbe - no better options, seriously?)
One thing, Kareem - not sure about your memory of the 12-2 game, that was at the Cap Centre. Maybe you're thinking of another game.
Posted by: katzistan | November 11, 2010 12:54 PM | Report abuse
You're right. It wasn't the 12-2 game from 1990 that I'm referring to. That was indeed a home game. It was the 10-3 win against Quebec in November 1991 that I should have referenced. Got my memories mixed up. They always say it's the first thing to go...

1991! A little off topic here, but who from this audience was present - or listening to Ron Weber - on the night of the Caps' worst defeat of all time? December 1991: I was in Cap Centre for the 8-6 loss to the NY Rangers, where the Caps gave up eight unanswered goals after going up 6-0. Seems that Mike Liut was in goal that night. Angry Cap fans were launching beer vessels onto the ice after the final horn ...
Unlikely that will ever happen during the Reign of Ovechkin
Posted by: yuri1 | November 11, 2010 4:06 PM | Report abuse
Yeah, I remember that 8-6 loss to the Rangers. I think both Ridley and Pivonka had hat tricks before the team melted down. The Rangers were good that year, I think they finished first or second in the NHL with the Caps finishing third.
If I recall correctly the 1991-92 was the season the Caps started off on fire, played medioce through the middle half of the season and finished very strong. I also remember that the Caps discovered an offense and had no problem scoring that year. Had we still had Scott Stevens - whom we should have never let depart - my bet is that we would have beat the Penguins and made some noise in the playoffs. It's not like we were intimadted by the Rangers as we'd beat them in the playoffs the previous two seasons.
With hindsight the 91-92 Caps were a very good team, but the core players (Ridley, Hunter, Iafrate, Langway, Dino) aged quickly and/or got injured in the following seasons and we never really saw that level of play again. Too bad.

Thank you everyone for trip down memory lane. I also loved/slightly annoyed by some of the Mr. Webers calls. never really got Ms. Twiddle.....
Also, as a 13/14 year old, walking to my after school work, or on a saturday shift. I used to love listening to Ron Weber's call (could not see really get cable or channel 20 was not showing).
Can not forget those late night west coast games in Winepeg, Edmonton, etc. Most of the games we would not win, for some reason we could not beat calgary, or winepeg out there.
Thank you Mr. Weber for lots of great memories...hate to be hater, but not sure why caps went from Weber to Kolbe, he mostly screams, i could see firing weber if there was a Herzog, or someone better out there. Sorry Steve, but you are painful to listen to.
Final memory: my first introdcution to hockey was while making collection calls for the washington post route in my high rise building. As i waited for this customer to write the check for the month, there was this strange thing on TV. Caps were playing Montreal, those days we had not beaten Montreal that often (sort of like last year).
Had no idea what hockey was, but from that day on, i became a CAPS fan, and have not looked back since, even through many heart breaks.
thank you again for the nice drive down memory lane.
Love you Ms. Twiddle...(i think)

Ron Weber was my favorite broadcaster of all time. He introduced me to the Capitals and NHL on WTOP 1500, during the late 70's and early 80's.
I also remember his broadcasting. He wasn't great. When you'd listen to Ron, he was like "Stevens dumps the puck in, and boy does Scotty like the all-you-can-eat at the Cheasapeake Bay Seafood House. OH THERE'S A TERRIBLE LOOKING GOAL BY TONELLI, Isles lead, 1-0!"
Yep, just like that. LOL, I didn't care.

I want to forget that stupid David Poile era that Ron Weber was so much a part of (no fault of Ron's). Poile is the grim-reaper for goal-scoring forwards. If the Preds had the nads to go after Gaborik last year, and deal for Spezza this year they would be an instant Cup contender.
Ron Weber was grossly overrated and I never cared for him. I do have nostalgic memories of snuggling with my "transistor" radio and listening to the Caps on a West Coast swing -- one night playing the Kings with Pete Peters in net. But thats Caps nostalgia, not Ron Weber. I for one, love Steve Kolbe. He is awesome!!!

|Almond milk smoothie with carob and banana.
It's the little things in life. So they say. And today I would agree- wholeheartedly, in fact, with every rebel piece of my dairy-free chocolate verboten heart. The heart that beats without the comfort of gluten, without the silky swirl of cream, without the sexy burn of Tapatio sauce and raw red onion. The heart that misses Penne Arrabiata and roasted tomato salsa. The pragmatic heart that now beats on a mission, to quell this monkey gut of mine long enough to heal a stubborn duodenal ulcer.
So one particularly soft and balmy day last week I thought of carob powder- that earthy crunchy nutty substitute for chocolate those of us old enough to remember the counter culture in fond and vivid flashbacks recall with a surge of bedeviled hippie affection.
Carob-Almond-Banana Smoothie Recipe
Pacific Almond milk makes deliciously thick and creamy smoothies. Lucky for us it's gluten-free and dairy-free (always check labels on your particular brand).
Chill a glass with a few ice cubes as you whip up this yummy smoothie.
For a single smoothie you'll need:
1 sliced frozen banana
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 rounded tablespoon carob powder
1 rounded tablespoon Nutribiotics Vanilla Rice Protein Powder
Pinch of Authentic Foods Vanilla Powder
Pinch of stevia, to taste
Combine the ingredients in a sturdy blender or Vita-Mix and whip on high till smooth and creamy.
Pour into a chilled glass and sip. Luxurious.

Funding Will Assist Three N.H. Companies Involved With Green Manufacturing
Gov. John Lynch today announced the three businesses selected to participate in the next round of Green Launching Pad funding. The most recent round of funding will support businesses that help the state achieve the objectives of the ARRA-State Energy Program and N.H. Climate Action Plan, with an emphasis on green manufacturing while creating new jobs and contributing positively to the state's economy.
The three winning teams are LDI Corporation of Portsmouth, RAS-Tech LLC of Brentwood, and Earthtec of Portsmouth. Since its inception in February 2010, 14 companies have received Green Launching Pad funding, and more than 450 people have attended Green Launching Pad seminars and events designed to help them commercialize their green products and services.
Lynch spearheaded the effort to create the Green Launching Pad, a partnership between the state and the University of New Hampshire that helps innovative companies bring new products to market and create jobs.
"My first priority as governor remains helping our businesses grow and create jobs. While New Hampshire continues to lead the way in economic recovery, we must remain vigilant and focused on helping our businesses, and getting more of our people back to work," Lynch said. "Over the last two years, this partnership has had tremendous results, helping to launch 11 New Hampshire companies and create good jobs in the process." "Manufacturing has long been an important part of our economy here in New Hampshire. It only makes sense that we do what we can to help bolster this important sector of our economy," he said.
The Green Launching Pad is funded with $1.5 million of federal economic stimulus funds from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Nearly 20 businesses and entrepreneurs submitted applications to compete in the latest round of funding. A panel of judges drawn from the industry selected three business teams that will be supported during the next three months to help them grow their business and create jobs.
"Revitalizing manufacturing in the state and the region is vital to economic prosperity. Our green manufacturing focus will help address economic and environmental concerns simultaneously through job creation and help stimulate the manufacturing sector through use of environmentally friendly materials, and a reduction in energy use in the manufacturing process and in unwanted by-products and waste," said Venky Venkatachalam, project director of the Green Launching Pad and a University of New Hampshire professor of decision sciences.
A brief description of the winning teams and their projects follows:
LDI Corporation, Portsmouth LDI plans to make green upholstery fabric for architects and interior designers who are looking to buy "green" products for their facilities. LDI has designed a coated furniture upholstery fabric that is made with more sustainable and ecofriendly materials. LDI has developed a manufacturing process to decoratively print this fabric with eco‐friendly inks and using a low-energy consumption process.
RAS-Tech LLC, Brentwood RAS-Tech plans to enter the road crack sealant business. The raw materials to be used will be rubber containing factory scrap, waste shingles, and re-refined, used motor oil. RAS-Tech will expand their manufacturing facilities with these funds.
Earthtec, Portsmouth This award will allow Earthtec to bring manufacturing jobs back to New Hampshire. Earthtec is an apparel company dedicated to sustainability, responsible manufacturing, and green business practices. From the raw materials used to the streamlined production processes, Earthtec works to minimize negative impact on our environment. Founded in 2010, the Green Launching Pad is a strategic partnership of the University of New Hampshire and New Hampshire Office of Energy and Planning, with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy. The organization connects entrepreneurs and private industry with technical, scientific and business faculty, students and state-level resources to successfully launch and accelerate the growth of new green businesses. The Green Launching Pad is focused on creating new energy-related jobs in the Granite State and broadening economic opportunities.
For more information about the Green Launching Pad, visit http://www.greenlaunchingpad.org/.
The University of New Hampshire, founded in 1866, is a world-class public research university with the feel of a New England liberal arts college. A land, sea, and space-grant university, UNH is the state's flagship public institution, enrolling 12,200 undergraduate and 2,300 graduate students.

Last week the Senate rejected the nomination by Gov. Rick Perry of Shanda Perkins for a seat on the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles amid criticism that she wasn't qualified.
Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, led the debate against Perkins, an unemployed banker from Burleson. He described her as lacking a college degree and any experience relevant to a job that deals with complex legal issues and "life or death matters." …
Perkins has been criticized by the ACLU for her lack of background in criminal justice. She also has been described as a political activist for various activities, including sparking an investigation into a woman who hosted sex toy parties.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram also reported that Perkins handed out fliers comparing Perry's potential challenger, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, to President Obama because of her support of abortion rights.
Now, Perkins wants another chance, and she could be seen standing outside the Senate chamber this morning lobbying members about her qualifications. She's accompanied by former state Rep. Bill Zedler, R-Arlington, who has packets of documents showing former board members who lacked college degrees or criminal justice experience.
Perkins, who said she has more than 20 years experience as a counselor and banker, said she's qualified.
"There's been a lot of misinformation," he said. "I understand how the families feel and how the offenders feel. I feel like that I can have empathy as well as the ability to follow the law."

I wont bother ripping this to shreds, because the author doesn't care to hear from us (yet we're the closed-minded ones)…so, enjoy:
I am not Theist.
I have never seen a bigger bunch of Cop-outs and evangelists such as yourselves. You feed on the blood of the ignorant with your rediculous commentary and outdated science and philosophy. Why not just state that you people are MAterialist, or naturalist, perhaps even objectivists ect. I have listened to the numerous arguments you have with believers, and your rediclous attitude gets worse as the shows go on. You people DO NOT have open minds, nor do you get your science correct.
This show, more-so these two idiotic hosts can be likened as the Alex Jones of Atheism. But it is not Atheism you people subscribe to, its naturalism, or at least in my opinion. One moment you make remarks, which are only half theories about Quantum mechanics, and then have the gaul to tell a caller that everything is made of Atoms? From which ERA were you people born into? Or from which era are you getting your scientific explinations. On top of which, you interperate this information as poorly as the man who said there was a God because a banana fits in your hand!
I could not care less what your response is, because you will speak more bullshit to me than you have anyone else. Your method is distasteful, your ideals are shallow, your science is dated and your philosophy is mangled. You only appeal to more ignorant fellows who are atheist rather then theist. Like a damn buzzard picking the eyes out of a half dead human. You are both the kind of people who believe the conversion to Atheist is the release of Ignorance. You only consider anti-materialists to be ignorant.
I wish you both the Utmost shame. You can wave the magic in your response to me, if any, but the issue remains in the back of your mind, and I hope these words haunt you forever.
I am not a Theist, but you both make me sick to my stomach, like a news reader using authority to establish truth, rather than the exposition of truth. Like a child wanting to be a rock star, you want to be Richard Dawkins, the copout version beta's!
Enjoy your wasted time on Earth, preaching about humanity and REligion, when you have not even taken the time to study any of the scriptures. Your take on history is utterly bias, and I have yet to meet an educated fellow who takes this show seriously.
Kind Regards,
Someone much smarter than to abide by this crap.
P.S. You should become street preachers, so we can finally regard you as completley insane. Perhaps I will drop a coin into your hat.

This week, your little one is now sporting fingernails and has a fully developed pair of kidneys. His liver can also process some waste products.
There's much less amniotic fluid and much more baby in your uterus, which has expanded to a thousand times its original size. You've probably put on between 11 and 13.6 kilograms and your weight gain has hit its peak. Even your belly button has gotten bigger and popped outward. You may be feeling breathless now that the top of your uterus is up under your ribs. Try getting down on all fours to take deeper breaths. Although the pressure on your bladder will make the bathroom your second home, don't drink any less water -- your baby needs the fluids. But you may like to cut down on diuretic drinks like tea and coffee, which will make you have to urinate even more often.
Still undecided about a name? Try our baby namer for new ideas.
Your doctor or midwife will probably want to start seeing you every week until you give birth.

I don't conclude from this as you do that B. believed he was committing a sinful act. Besides it is written in 3rd person anyway so not sure how this person knows what B. thought.
But obviously when one violates man's laws he accepts upon himself those consequences. And also obviously we all only hope for grace when we stand before God whether we obey the laws or we disobey them. Were the Germans who did obey the laws and turn over the Jews they were hiding in their basement able to stand before God without needing grace because the obeyed the laws and did not sin?
For anyone to have to arrive at a decision like that, obviously you will go through mental, emotional and spiritual turmoil and nothing will be certain, but I think we all agree there are times when innate senses of right and wrong have to trump man's laws. Slavery is a good example.
These are all extreme cases however. Much closer to this discussion are the whistleblower regulations that our government has in place for exactly this purpose, to allow acts of conscience to prevent corruption or other wrongdoing, which clearly apply to the leaked emails.

Hi John,
As a brief point of clarification, you cite Bonhoeffer's attempted assassination of Hitler here as an example of "moral clarity" which was not wrong (at least, that's what you implied). However, not even Bonhoeffer drew this conclusion; he fully believed he was committing a sinful act. Per wikipedia:
"In the face of Nazi atrocities, the full scale of which he learned through the Abwehr, Bonhoeffer concluded that "the ultimate question for a responsible man to ask is not how he is to extricate himself heroically from the affair, but how the coming generation shall continue to live." [22] He did not justify his action but accepted that he was taking guilt upon himself as he wrote "when a man takes guilt upon himself in responsibility, he imputes his guilt to himself and no one else. He answers for it...Before other men he is justified by dire necessity; before himself he is acquitted by his conscience, but before God he hopes only for grace."
In Christ,
"For we walk by faith, not by sight" ~II Corinthians 5:7

[UPDATE: This story was originally published on April 27.]
We love giving props to our fave burgeoning across-the-bridge boroughs, but we know that there are indeed some classic East Bay enclaves that deserve much-needed virtual applause, too. And, since we're all for a local respite every now and again, we packed our overnighter and roved the city of Berkeley to call out a handful of its most prized retail haunts, hotels, and restos. Trust that it all adds up to one stellar staycation.
Berk has come a long way since the OG hippie-dippy days, and is now swelling with national treasures (we're looking at you, Chez Panisse). From eco-minded boutiques to incredibly diverse markets brimming with color-soaked produce, you can find a real wealth of wonderful out there. So, if you're itching for an overnight voyage, let Berkeley be your must-hit destination. Simply follow this fuss-free guide — we'll take you everywhere from the streets of the Gourmet Ghetto to the hilly backdrop of the classic Claremont hotel (a fave of the Obamas and Brangelina). Now, get ready, grab your bags, and embark on a jam-packed journey over the Bay Bridge. This one's a goodie.

I am a woman, and I am an atheist.....and have escaped from the abusive relationships of my past and I now want to give back. This is a topic that is "skidded over" through the horrific consequences of religion, but I haven't seen the topic come up recently on TA as it's own separate entity of discussion. My goal around this conversation is for women to come together who either:
1. Have been in an abusive relationship and escaped,
2. Are currently IN an abusive relationship and don't know what to do and are looking for support,
3. For any men who are allies who want to add their comments/insights to be able to do so.
There are lots of resources in many placed in the US, I don't know about the rest of the world, but I think that even still there is a lot of discrepancy and confusion about what domestic violence IS and there's a lot of people who are in abusive relationships that don't think that they are abusive, they just see them as normal. Also there's a lot of misconceptions and myths portrayed by media. I hope together we can blow a hole through all of that and get down to some real truth on the matter, as well as support anyone who may be going through it, to give them a safe place to fall....

I have been in abusive relationships. I didn't realize i was trapped into a pattern of seeking it out. Until i got help from an amazing therapist. she made me take a deep honest look at my world. I realized i kept falling in to same hole. Guys would be charming and strong. I have a weakness for Alpha males took me a while to realize Alpha didn't mean puffed up macho behavior. I didn't understand why for longest time. I needed someone to be stronger than me. I needed smarter than me. I say this without arrogance. Most people are not. With women i didn't care as much beyond please be someone i can talk with and be a fairly good person. It's hard to leave someone when you have kids. You get scared what if i can't take care of them. You tell yourself they need their father.You make a thousand excuses. Then one day he threatens your 18 month old and something inside snaps. You wake up. You feel a hatred so deep it overtakes your sense of right and wrong. You contemplate murder. You leave because you're pretty sure you can't get away with it. You find a previously forgotten part your self. You get strong make the right decisions. I was here at one point of my life. Now i can stand on my own. You have to make the hard choices get better and know why you made the mistakes you made.
Maybe he realised it was the right thing to do. If he has a shred of decency.
Maybe he realised he's just no good at relationships, at this current time, because of X, Y, Z problems he obviously has (the poor dear).
Also - suddenly, he's weak and you're strong. That must be surprising for him.
I find that this is a useful concept:
and who has it?
I remember I had a brief stint at Hickory Farms when I was 19. I was working the kiosk in the mall and it was a slow day. This woman of maybe 35-40 came up to look around and maybe make a purchase so we started talking about this and that. I don't recall how the topic came up but suddenly she is telling me about her abusive husband who hits her and how she feels really confused about what to do. She is telling me how her church was suggesting that she needed to live in a place of forgiveness regardless of the abuse because that is what Jesus did while her son is telling her he doesn't want her to stay with her husband/ his father because she is being hurt.
I of course told her the same thing and we talked about how her son was grown and so there is no "Father Figure" factor anymore and that you have to learn to love yourself enough to form healthy relationships that don't repeat the same destructive patterns.
So here we have religion playing a part in the continued abuse of this woman and of course she is playing her part too. What really struck me though was that in her eyes this 19 year old kid working at a Hickory Farms part time was a good candidate to share this info with. Some people will introduce themselves in a way that gives them an extreme amount of attention but that was not the vibe I was getting from her...it just seemed like she was that desperate to talk to someone, anyone about it. Hey random person please reassure me that I'm sane and not crazy when I want to leave if someone is hurting me...that is okay right? Can you give me validation kid who is so much younger and inexperienced than I?
I think at the time I thought religion was the culprit and really only enhanced my dislike for it in general...but I think if it hadn't been religion it would have been some other possibly toxic crutch that she leaned on instead of leaning on herself and her own wisdom. Is religion really the issue or is it simply the indicator of a much deeper issue. A general lack of belief in self that a disproportionate amount of women seem to have.
I have to wonder if our society is a bigger culprit where we try so hard to keep everyone in line and we heavily reinforce almost a worship of authority figures in general.
"Don't do some basic research and reading about the human body...instead go to the doctor the minute you have a sniffle because you are not a doctor."
"Don't make any major life choices without consulting your church because we may know better than you."
So for these people that have been taught to obey someone other than themselves...religion seems to be a beacon for answers. Even if these answers hurt us in the short and long term...maybe that seems more bearable than the imagined silence that would ensue if we asked ourselves for the answers instead of an outsider who is only too eager to tell us their version of "right".
I'm glad that women like you exist Belle because it means we are making progress...we are moving forward. You didn't escape the mistreatment completely but you didn't suffer your whole life either...and maybe when enough women like yourself come forward and share and talk about it in a healthy way...maybe future generations will bear less and less of the abuse.
Thanks Belle!
Here's a short exerpt from the BBC World Service programme From Our Own Correspondent. It's talking about the domestic violence problem in Bhutan in the Himalayas, and how they're trying to tackle it using little advert-dramas on the radio. It sounds really good.
@ Jason - that totally rocked. I think that one problem is that Jesus didn't have a very good record of standing up for himself. If he had had more time, then probably he would have got round to covering that, but in the 2-3 years he had it was all about the radical message of peace and forgiveness, and then he was required to make the final sacrifice. So it makes it very easy for, in this case, Christians, to perpetuate the abuse of women if they're minded to.
Somebody should be able to be Christian and still have a good theoretical formula to use against this attitude.
@ Belle - I'm looking for someone to cover the subject of abusive relationships in my atheist Bible thing I'm doing - tying it in with the fundamental model of morality, perhaps starting with a clear theoretical framework. Maybe that would be a good way to help you work your way through and turn your experiences into something really positive for the world that might help a lot of people.
"I internalized that to mean that if I just am there for other people enough and love them enough then they will in turn love be back to the same capacity." Definitely, I think that's ass-backwards. You have to be strong and love yourself, otherwise it's hard to do anything with other people in my opinion... for me, that means trying to do the right thing morally, approving or disapproving of the same things in myself that I would approve or disapprove of in other people's efforts to be morally good. But that's it. Fuck everything else, it doesn't matter to my self-esteem. Some people say I'm like a soldier; maybe that's true.
What moral behaviour means to the individual is up to them to work out.
@ Belle - also, I'm compelled to say I think you're doing a brilliant job. I know I might seem to be all about criticism, but you're doing everything right as far as I can see.
@Belle - "subtle" is right. That's one thing they're expert at - going unnoticed by everyone else. It's surprising how much talent and cleverness they can put into this. They're expert manipulators too I find - if you don't play the game then X bad thing is your fault, like everything else. I suppose it comes of a lifetime of study, of honing the skills. Smoke-screening, manipulation, control, invisibility, subtle undermining. The opposite of all the solid honest qualities.
Charming too, right? Give me a charmless person any day.

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 02/18/2013
"I assure you, as often as you did it for one of my least brothers, you did it for me."
< >< My Prayer >< >
Abba Father healer of body and soul, cure the sickness in my spirit so that I may grow in holiness through your constant care.1 I come to You through the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ who lives within me so that You will create in me a pure heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, for my one walk in and with You. To be a channel of Your peace and love in all situations with all people. To stand strong in You and Your almighty power, putting on Your full armor by standing firm with the belt of Your truth buckled around my waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with my feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, taking up the shield of faith, with which I can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one who lurks in each moment waiting to separate me from You. Taking the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your word. And praying in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests for me and mine in fulfillment of Your will. With this in mind, being alert and always praying for those You place in my path. Asking that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel.(r or l) Remembering that if I get nothing else done this day, let me spend it loving You and others first, as You love me. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Archery hits the mark for Texans
They may not be hunting for food for their families in District 12, like Katniss before The Hunger Games, but archery has still become a popular sport with children and teens across the nation. Seeing this increased interest, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department recently began work with the Archery Trade Association to offer archery programs and opportunities in communities across Texas.
"We saw that archery was so very popular in schools, and we wanted to give all Texans the ability to experience this great sport," said Nancy Herron, TPWD outreach and education director. "Working with community parks and recreation departments, we plan to offer archery opportunities in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex then work our way across Texas. Archery is just one of the many fun ways families and individuals of all ages can get outside and learn a new outdoor skill."
The ATA is made up of archery and bowhunting industry professionals which promotes participation in archery and bowhunting and runs the annual ATA Trade Show. Mitch King, director of government relations with the ATA, signed the memorandum of agreement with TPWD executive director Carter Smith March 14.
"The ATA is excited about this new and growing partnership with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department," King said. "We are looking forward to seeing a growth of archery in the schools and parks departments in those areas. In addition, all of our ATA member retailers and manufacturers in Texas are excited to get to work with the TPWD and local governments and grow archery and bowhunting."
Texans currently enjoy archery through recreational pursuits and through bow hunting of fish and other wild game, yet this coordinated effort between the two organizations marks the state's interest in promoting the sport to all Texans. Ideas for the project include lessons for all skill levels with a focus on beginner and intermediate levels, the creation or designation of areas in which archers may practice and community events and mentored bowhunts.
For more information on archery and archery opportunities in Texas, visit the ATA site at www.archerytrade.org or tpwd.texas.gov/learning/hunter_education/homestudy/archery/index.phtml.

A Critical Mass Live EP 12"
As a result of 2009's "A Critical Mass" tour, Innervisions release two tracks recreated from the recorded live material. The A-side is based on the former Henrik Schwarz hit "Chicago." This new, eerie, bleepy techno version has a touch of early M-Plant production and was recorded during the Flow Festival in Helsinki in August 2009. "Berlin-Karlsruhe Express" is an aquatic Drexciyan house inferno by Henrik Schwarz/Âme/Dixon, and was the highlight of every live show.
Dreiklangkrapriolen 12"
Musik Krause (MKR 031)
Robag Wruhme returns toting three nuggets which are somewhere between gentle hardcore with a weakness for horns, and a warm coolness. Dark, complex and almost avant garde. For all intents and purposes, a Lindenberg with Kafka-esque posing on a steamer, turned in the direction of the Ziller Valley. All three have a frugal consumption of a mere 4 liters per 100km, and there is still a healthy acceleration here that is lively and quick.
Dettmann Remixed 12"
Ostgut (OSTGUT 033EP)
In anticipation of Marcel Dettmann's debut full-length, Ostgut Ton presents a remix package of four original tracks, courtesy of Norman Nodge and Wincent Kunth. From the very first bar of Norman Nodge's remix of "Shift," an urgent, pumping charge of fizzing electricity is let loose, letting the arrangement simply flow. More raw energy powers also are throughout his remix of "Unrest." Taking a recognizably metallic Dettmann-forged synth pattern, Nodge's frenetic yet respectfully withheld structure guides you sure and steady through the smokescreen.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 12 (UPI) -- Mason Raymond scored a spectacular goal in a shootout and Roberto Luongo made 26 saves Tuesday to send the Vancouver Canucks past Columbus 2-1.
After a scoreless first two rounds of the tiebreaker, Raymond dented Sergei Bobrovsky when he pulled the goalie to the left, stopped, spun around and slipped the puck into the empty right side of the net.
Luongo then wrapped up the win with a nifty poke-check on Mark Letestu after stopping all 11 shots he faced in the third period and overtime.
Jason Garrison scored in regulation for Vancouver, which broke a four-game losing streak.
Letestu scored the second period and Bobrovsky finished with 37 saves as Columbus saw its five-game winning streak come to an end.

We didn't expect to see Ahmad Bradshaw on the field for the New York Giants against the Carolina Panthers on "Thursday Night Football," and those suspicions have been confirmed. But the Giants dropped a bombshell later on Wednesday when they downgraded wide receiver Hakeem Nicks from questionable to out with a foot injury.
Nicks, who didn't make the trip to Carolina, was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week after torching the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for 199 yards and a touchdown on 10 catches in Week 2.
New York's starting running back also has been ruled out of the game with a neck injury, the team said. Wide receiver Domenik Hixon (concussion) and tackle David Diehl (knee) are also out for the primetime matchup against Cam Newton and the Panthers.
Andre Brown -- and not rookie David Wilson -- is expected to earn the bulk of the work against the Panthers after rushing for 71 yards on 13 carries in a win over the Buccaneers. Coughlin said this week that Wilson has a place in this offense, but the coach was obviously tweaked by the rookie's fumbling problems against the Dallas Cowboys in the season opener.
Giants cornerback Michael Coe (hamstring) is questionable.
Coe's potential absence would be eased by the return of cornerback Prince Amukamara, who is probable on the heels of an ankle injury that sidelined him against Tampa Bay. Keith Rivers (hamstring) is probable and should be back on the field to bolster Big Blue's linebacker corps.

Filling the Freezer—Winter Squash Butternut squash is one vegetable that transfers beautifully from the freezer to the table. About the time my local farmer's market is winding down for the season, I purchase more squash than I can possibly carry in one load. And when I have a little bit of time at home, I load my oven with split, seeded, unpeeled squash and roast. After cooling, it's easy to scoop the flesh and purée. I later use the puréed squash as a delicious side (season on the fly with maple syrup and cinnamon, or orange zest and ginger), or as the star ingredient in soup or risotto. Read More >>

The past 25 years surely have tested the Rochester-area economy. But the business community remains optimistic about the next quarter century.
The Rochester Business Journal, as part of its coverage for its 25th anniversary, looked at what the next 25 years will bring.
The RBJ recently asked readers to share their views on the area's long-term economic outlook and to name the biggest challenge this region is likely to face from now until 2037. They also were asked: What will downtown Rochester look like 25 years from now? And what will Rochester be known for 25 years from now?
Results of the economic outlook poll: nearly three-quarters of some 500 respondents are optimistic about the future.
To see the polls results and comments along with answers to the questions, visit go.rbj.net/2037.

The April 2012 issue of Rotor & Wing examines various options for operators in "Weather Radar: Navigating the Storm". The article provides a starting point for pilots and operators when it comes to airborne weather radar. Outside of the Honeywell and Rockwell Collins' radar systems that are mentioned, operators can also find L-3 Communications' Stormscope and Insight Instrument's Strikefinder. Although these two systems are not radar, much like radar they can depict areas of weather to avoid. But that is where the similarity ends, as these are two different technologies.
Stormscope and Strikefinder monitor electrical energy in the atmosphere, and are able to depict lighting on a display. Since areas with lighting are most likely to contain heavy rain and turbulence, this tool enables pilots to avoid the depicted areas.
Stormscope also updates lightning information every second using azimuth and range to provide strike rake details for storms that are both building up strength or dispersing. Strikefinder works much in the same way, but utilizes broadband digital sampling for signal strength and noise rejection.
Unlike radar, many Stormscopes and Strikefinders can depict these areas 360 degrees around the aircraft out as far as 200 nm. Basic models sell for around $2,000 and at the high end cost more than entry-level radar set. With increased cost, these systems include GPS integration and gyro stabilization. Smaller and lighter and without the need for a nose-mounted antenna, they can be a good solution to avoid weather. Unlike radar, they are not intended to navigate or pick your way through areas of weather. Various industry trade shows are a good place to visit the various avionics manufacturer's booths and compare the various models side-by-side. Full Story: Weather Radar: Navigating the Storm
