Too pricey and too soon, or environmental imperative? Monday night's board of selectmen meeting was standing room only, brimming with residents and wastewater committee members debating in favor or against ballot Question 1—the comprehensive wastewater management plan.
"I voted yes last year to Question 1. But slowly, after looking at the plan, I've changed my mind. I urge you all to do the same," said Peter L. Waasdorf, Beccles Road, treasurer of the newly formed Plan B Committee.
"The easiest thing to do is say no. That is not the answer," said Eric T. Turkington, chairman of the water quality management committee.
Question 1 asks voters to approve on May 20 a $49.8 million four-pronged plan that includes connecting nearly 1,500 homes near Little Pond to the town sewer. It also employs alternative eco-solutions to tackle the lesser degraded bodies of water.
Both sides agree that Falmouth's estuaries are being force-fed nitrogen and the warning signs are there—fish kills, the disappearance of the herring, the decline of the shellfisheries, and algae blooms—but they disagree on the urgency, the price, and the method of cleaning the ponds.
The wastewater plan calls for alternative demonstration projects, including planting oysters, installing eco-toilets, using permeable reactive barriers, and inlet widening. Mr. Turkington stressed Question 1 only calls for sewering where absolutely necessary.
Mr. Waasdorf contends that the cheaper alternatives that will be used in other estuaries around town should also be used in Little Pond in lieu of the costly sewer project. He said growing oyster beds can directly reduce nitrogen levels including "legacy pollution" already soaked in the groundwater that continues to flow to the estuaries. Sewers, he contends, will only treat new pollution.
Virginia Valiela, the wastewater quality management committee's vice chairman, responded by citing her committee's work on the eco-projects.
"We're using oysters in Little Pond, but they can't do the job alone. They will be used to get rid of 12 percent of the nitrogen," Ms. Valiela said.
She said Little Pond residents had said no to widening the inlet for fear of tide and rising water levels and that the eco-toilet demonstration has not really taken off yet.
"Using eco-toilets is a homeowner decision. We notified 24,000 properties owners about our eco-toilet project, and only six took us up on it. The alternatives are just not ready yet," she said.
Mr. Turkington said if Question 1 does not pass, the state will return to its prior demand that Falmouth connect all the homes to town sewer on its southern peninsulas, from Falmouth Heights to Seacoast Shores
"The state can come in and say, 'I told you so,' " he said.
Ms. Valiela added that the state is mandated to carry out the provisions of the Federal Clean Air Act and, gradually, it will set water quality standards for each pond around the commonwealth.
"It's a scare tactic," Mr. Waasdorp said. "There is not an immediate mandate by the state. We have the time to employ better projects."
He said the department of environmental protection (DEP) only requires that progress be made in a town's wastewater cleanup efforts.
Among the vocal residents to speak against Question 1 was Matthew J. McNamara of Childs River Road, Waquoit, who said Mr. Turkington made false promises to Maravista homeowners by stating they could build additions to their homes when they connect to the sewer.
"But it's really a zoning bylaw. It should be made clear that homeowners still need to seek approval from the zoning board," Mr. McNamara said.
Mr. Turkington wrote in a column in the Enterprise that homeowners "can add bedrooms or a garage where they couldn't before, increasing substantially to the value of their homes."
Ms. Valiela responded to Mr. McNamara saying the zoning board would have to review the parcels on a case-by-case basis, but the potential to add on is there.

Both sides agree the Little Pond sewer betterment will cost homeowners $600 a year for 30 years based on a zero percent state revolving loan. But, Mr. Waasdorp said that is not accurately representing the full cost to homeowners. Based on a water quality management committee breakdown, the project will cost $1,123 to $1,248 per year, which includes the $600 betterment, a sewer usage charge, electricity, and apportioned hookup fee.
"Many of these residents are older and are on fixed incomes of $12,000 to $15,000 per year. Some of my neighbors have told me they will have to move," said Alma Road resident Edward F. Jalowiec.
"This project is an enormous amount of money and an enormous undertaking. But all of our 15 estuaries are in trouble. This is our opportunity to do this without raising taxes and with a zero percent loan," Mr. Turkington said.
The conversation will continue Monday night when town officials will hold an open informational meeting on the homeowner costs of Little Pond neighborhood sewer project. The meeting will be held at 7 PM at the Teaticket Elementary School.

- Battlefield: As described by the Civil War Trust "The largest military engagement in the strategically pivotal border state of Kentucky, the Battle of Perryville ensured that the region remained solidly in Northern control for the remainder of the war…. At the close of the day's fighting, the two armies left more than 7,400 dead and wounded on the field."
- Dye House & Grounds: Approx. 120 acres. Confederate General Simon Bolivar Buckner's headquarters during the Battle of Perryville. Used as field hospital after the battle
- Sleettown : Approx. 96 Acres. African-American community situated northwest of Perryville in the 19th century. As described by the Perryville Battlefield Preservation Association: "This small community is known as the "Gateway to Freedom" because many former slaves lived here after national emancipation. Sleettown had its own store, a "honky-tonk" restaurant, homes, and a cemetery. An integrated community, Sleettown thrived in the segregated South during a time when many black and white families did not interact. According to the brochure, "Even though Sleettown remained a black community, the relationship with neighboring whites was open and friendly. Often blacks and whites would come together in the evenings to visit or play a game of cards."

This stuff doesn't do it for me as a styler, but it is an amazing moisturizer for my 3C curls. I love that it's all natural, so it's great for anyone who uses the curly girl method. I would recommend this to anyone with thicker hair and looking for a great moisturizer or if you have thinner hair and you need a styling product that doesn't leave your hair crunchy. I think I can safely say that this is my new holy grail moisturizer.

This is always a repurchase for me! I'm a newly natural girl, with small, tight curls. And one day, I was in my neighborhood Sally's, I came across this product, decided to try it, and loved it! Smell isn't overpowering, unless you use a lot of it. Makes my hair easy to comb through. I find it works best for me when I put it on wet/damp hair. Product stays all day, the smell doesn't irritate my scalp. I love it, and I can't wait to try more products from Shea Moisture :)
I recently got a haircut that is a tragedy. As such, I've been trying different hair products to try and turn it into something manageable. A co-worker began using this a while back and the results have been amazing on her hair so I figured I'd I've it a try as well. This doesn't really do much to enhance my curl, which is fine with me, and it certainly smells lovely. As far as hair products go, I found it very average on my hair. It weighed it down a little but not significantly, it moisturized but not quite enough, it softened but - again - not enough for my tastes. My co-worker will now have two jars :)

I have to say, it took me a while to figure out how to use this product on my hair....in the end I found that I works best as a leave-in AND a styler...for me anyways. I used to use it under a gel but now I use a moisturizer and then put it on top. It also took a while to find how much to put in my hair. Now I know it works if I use about a quarter size on each of 4 sections. Now I'm in love with this product! If I could just be a few dollars cheaper, I'd be perfect! (:
I have a love/HATE relationship with this product. I'm a natural, kinky curly natural to be exact and with most naturals its a struggle to find a good product that adds moisture to the hair while maintaining the true essence of your curls. I gave this product a try and I loved the definition this product gave my twist outs. The product also added moisture to my hair and that's about it. I HATE this product because of the residue, it leaves your hair feeling waxy and worst of all you can see the product on your hair, one can easily assume it is dandruff because that's what it looks like. With this product, after a couple of days my hair feels soggy and icky, this is I repeat...this is not a buildable product. Even after one application I always get a heavy product look. Eventually, I started using this product as a prepoo treatment prior to shampooing my hair. I really tried to like this product...I have purchased it twice but never again. On my mission to get moisture, bouncy, clean curls, I am now using cantu shea butter which is doing me wonders...adds moisture without all the gunk! Ladies take it from me...save your money and look else where, cause this ain't it.

ETA: this product is now my least loved Shea Moisture product. Although it does define my curls, I have discovered that it leaves my hair extremely dry, which is a deal breaker for me. I continue to love the other products, however.
I love the Shea Moisture line and have only come to know this particular product recently. I've previously been a Shea Moisture skincare product junkie. I have naturally curly type III/IV hair and my biggest complaints are dryness and frizz. I cannot believe how great this product makes my hair look! I have noticed that the products in this entire line have become harder to find lately, and I fear that maybe the company is going out of business. I have visited the company's website and it is stagnant and has been for a while. I sent them an email asking if they were going out of business and never received a response from them. :( I'm really hoping that they stick around, they've got some of the best hair and skincare products I've ever tried.
This whole product line gets a ton of love from me and this is the first product I tried that started it all! I decided to purchase this after I ran out of my L'oreal out of bed and wanted to try something that had richer ingredients. I was looking for a curl defining/texturing cream that would be nourishing & moisturizing to the hair as well as define my waves. I saw this at CVS and decided to give it a try. It was also a good value- you get a huge 12 ounces of very thick cream for $10 as opposed to 4 ounces for the out of bed that runs about $4-$6. It smells absolutely wonderful too! A warm and natural fruity-floral smell. I used it on my dry hair and soon as I got home and it immediately made my waves more defined and less frizzy. I now use it as part of my cocktail of products that I use on wet hair. Plus as a refresher/enhancer on my hair after it has dried. On wet hair, (after my leave-in and some mousse or gel) I apply this from ear level down (I keep it away from my crown and bangs because I prefer to have that area lay smoother) and scrunch and scrunch until my waves are very defined. Hair air dries with soft, smooth, and defined waves. In the morning, I scrunch in a little more into my dried waves to redefine them (plus add a most wonderful scent). Love this stuff and highly recommend it!

I was a little apprehensive about buying this product, after thorough research i finally bought it. I am so glad I did, its amazing! it puts some if not all the expensive salon products to shame. The smell is a little overwhelming but I can deal, the texture is really thick somewhat like a body butter , so a little goes a long way.
I have mixed textured hair , from very curly to soft waves and this controls my curls and moisturizes so well. After 4 days my hair is still soft and little to no frizz .
I can't wait to try out all of Shea moisture products I am very pleased with the results.

Absolute hg! I have 2C-3Aish hair, depending on the weather, medium to fine texture, and normal porosity. What I usually do is rub a small dollop (about the size of a dollar coin) into soaking wet hair, scrunch lightly, then toss my hair into a towel turban for a couple minutes before letting it air dry. This gives me the most gorgeous, shiny, delicately defined curls EVER.
Since going CG, I'd never figured out a way to prevent my hair from going from soft curls to that Hermione-esque poofy wave thing. This is more of a moisturizing leave-in than it is a styling product, but whatever magic goes into it styles my hair perfectly. Right now, this is the only styling and leave-in product I use, and my hair is looking healthier by the day. I've never had any problem with build-up (I co-wash with Suave mostly, sometimes I'll use a sulfate-free shampoo instead), but there's nothing in this that wouldn't wash out with a quick vinegar rinse or even a good scrub with a lowpoo-type product.
Actually, the only thing I don't like (besides the price--yes, the tub is HUGE and will last a very long time, but it's still a lot for me to drop at once) is the smell, oddly enough. For me it's so sickly saccharine I have to wash my hands as soon as I finish scrunching to prevent gagging. But this is an absolute 5-lippie product, I'd love it even if it smelled ten times stronger

A vote for Obama is a vote against America.
Dave send that message to every latino and every african american you know. they'll tell 10 and they tell 10 and so on and so on.
we need to get romney ryan to the white house. Convince everyone you know with the facts.
john kerry should step aside with bill clinton. the belief in barack obama – secures their jobs. john kerry wants to be secretary of state. we should demand his tax returns.
his wife the ketchup heiress is probably bank rolling the convention.
very good dave.
kerry isn't running for pres, romney is, but you don't demand his tax returns?!?!?
you want to convince everyone with the facts? the facts are romney paid little in taxes by his own admission and hid money in the cayman islands and in swiss bank accounts. despicable. what else is he hiding?
Jeez the tax thing again get over it if he hid money in the caymans or Swiss accounts. truly hid them, sir you would not be privy. As far as the despicable comment Obamas cornered that market. I like to know what the Barrys been hiding since college up until the point of fast and furious.
"paid little in taxes" on his investment income. Paid his fair share on his investment income. The same that you would pay on your investment income. Oh, let me guess, you don't have investment income. Because you wouldn't take the risk that Romney did…. That's what happens when you take risk… you get rewarded or you loose it. If it were "paid little in taxes" on earned income then you would have something to complain about. Get off it and educate yourself on the difference between investment income and earned income. Stop being a libtard cronie whining about someone elses misfortunes….
You're all missing the big question here. Who are the lizard men?
Little deluded dupes on two sides of an imaginary fence lol

Social justice advocate, feminist, creative writer. With liberty, justice, and homemade cookies for all.
In 2011, Wisconsin's Republican-led Legislature enacted a new law that requires state-issued photo identification for all voters. Because Frank cannot drive, she has never held a license. Last November, Frank's daughter drove her to their local Department of Motor Vehicles office to obtain a photo ID.
Frank says she knew she did not have a proper birth certificate, so she took her baptismal certificate, marriage certificate and Social Security card to the DMV, hoping that would be sufficient.
It was not.
When she got to the counter, a woman looked at the baptismal certificate and said, "Well, this is illegal. How do I know you are not an alien?"
"I was…about to cry," Frank recalls, "because I have lived at the same address for 83 years."
Frank left the DMV without an ID, and now may have to pay $200 to have her birth certificate changed because her maiden name is misspelled.
Looking back, she says she can't understand "why I would be treated as rudely as I was treated."
This past December, Frank joined 17 fellow Wisconsinites in a lawsuit against the state's new voter photo-ID law, claiming the law is unconstitutional and "imposes a severe and undue burden on the fundamental right to vote."

Amanda Bynes's Public Meltdown Satisfies Former Child Star Cliches
Amanda Bynes, the 90s and early 2000s child star of Nickelodeon's "All That" and "The Amanda Show," is having something of a rough week -- and unfortunately, she seems to be live-tweeting it.
Bynes is no stranger to weird and sometimes obscene tweets -- she's been writing them for years. But last week's scandalous digital missive to Drake has sparked buzz that Amanda's working out some serious issues right now.
Just before this tweet, Bynes posted a photo of her new cheek jewels.
According to E! News, Bynes's West-Coast family is very worried about the New Yorker, urging her to move home to L.A., "so that they can keep a closer eye on her, but she refuses."

On last week's episode of Top Chef Masters, Atlanta's Hugh Acheson packed his knives and left for the second time. I recently had the chance to catch up with the Empire State South chef about his time on the show and what is next for the 5-time James Beard nominee.
How did you first become involved with TC masters? How were you first asked to be on the show.
Well, they called me and there are no tryouts for Top Chef Masters. And I've said no to a lot of reality TV in the past, but I was really excited about the concept of trying to do something for charity.
Speaking of which, congratulations on raising $15K for Wholesome Wave. How did you get involved with Wholesome Wave and why did you choose them as your charity?
You know, they have been doing farmers markets for a couple of years now. The pure aspect of getting great food on the table for the less fortunate is such a noble pursuit. The thing that you run into with the altruistic idea of great food is that localized food is expensive. It isn't really fair to say "you shouldn't eat that Wendy's burger, you should eat that bundle of beets," but the bundle of beets is $8. Wholesome Wave cutting that price in half for people with food stamps is a game changer when it comes to diet for the less fortunate in society.
Top chef is known for their outlandish challenges, and you actually succeeded quite well in some of the more ridiculous quickfires, specifically the bug challenge and the most recent microwave-only challenge. What was your favorite quickfire or challenge that you had to cook in?
Obviously the bug challenge is completely ridiculous, but it was fun because I won. I won three quickfires, and they were the most ridiculous ones on the season. So I guess I excel at ridiculous! The most arduous challenge was the elimination challenge in the Mad Men episode with Christina Hendricks. It was just a tortuous kitchen to work in. We were all so new to the show and I had just come back on, it was a really hard situation to work under. It was a complete mess.
Your situation was unique b/c you left early on and then were brought back onto the show after John Rivera Sedler left. Did that change your approach when you returned to the show?
It changed my approach a fair bit. I was going to have a lot more fun on it when I came back. One thing I could do was just me enjoying myself and cooking food. It allowed me to be more relaxed than a lot of the participants on the show, and I think that is how I approach life. I wanted to enjoy it while I could, and I think that played in well and my food showed that.
In a couple of the judges tables, especially your final one, you really stood up for your food. Specifically, you contended that your mayo wasn't broken. Now that you are past it, be honest…were you just putting up a strong front, or do you still stand by the fact that it was tomato water and that the mayo didn't break?
I don't think it had broken, and I think that they were off base. I am the most honest person with my kitchens and my food, hopefully one of the most honest in the food industry. If something that I cook isn't good, I'm more than in agreement that it isn't good and will make amends to make it better. Most of the time in all of the events, I agreed with most of the commentary, but there were some times when I felt like they HAD to come up with something. Of those times with they had to come up with a disagreement with us, I knew that I wasn't going to be pushed around. Daddy didn't raise no fool!
On Top Chef, you are not allowed to bring recipes with you, only what is in your head, and many chefs try out new things on the show. Are there any ideas that you got from the show that we may get to try here in Atlanta?
I don't think that Atlanta is ready for a cricket salad just yet! I can look into that, but I'd need to get a firm price from my cricket provider first.
Would you do TC Masters again if you were asked?
Sure! It was a lot of fun and the people we met were just phenomenal. There are some people that I think will go far in that competition. I have a never-ending adoration for Traci Des Jardins .I think she is such a culinary bad[butt] and such a smart chef and great business person. I could learn from people like that every day.
Obviously, the biggest news going on with you outside of Top Chef right now is that you recently hired Cynthia Wong as head pastry chef for Empire State South. How did that come about?
In the best way possible. You hate to see people leave their employment, but they are more than welcome to. It is a free agency in this world. Cynthia came to us and said that she was leaving Cakes & Ale and was wondering if we had any openings in pastry. We were actually looking for a more experienced pastry chef, and I did not expect her to walk in the door. When someone like that walks through your door, you say yes.
I know that you have a cookbook in the works. Can you tell me about that?
It is coming out in October and its called A New Turn of The South, and we are really excited. It is about my experience with Southern food and a lot of recipes that we have experienced at 5 & 10. It is a beautiful book with awesome photos from a good friend of mine Rinne Allen who is an amazing designer and photographer in Athens. It is just a purist little idiosyncratic and fun cookbook that is a little different than everything else out there right now.
What can we look forward to at Empire State South?
We have a lot of things going on, like coffee tastings and burgundy dinners, and Empire State South is such a unique restaurant in that there is always something happening. The bocce ball court is always busy in the summer, and it is just a lot of fun to be in Midtown.
There are two episodes left in this season of Top Chef Masters, including tonight's episode at 10 PM EST on Bravo TV. The finale airs next week on June 15th.

After watching him on Top Chef, I have a new appreciation for the food at his restaurants.

Never had his food and I don't doubt that it's spectacular, but I thought he was a bit rude on the show a few times.

i did not like him on the show either. so arrogant, and pleassssssssse show me the wife and kids.
June 9th, 2011

sorry, that was ugly. nice interview, but he was a pain on the show most of the time. i have no desire to visit any restaurant of his.

June 9th, 2011

Rude? Did you watch the same program as me? I only saw a man with a dry sense of humor, the type I appreciate a lot. Is he proud of his work? Sure, he should be and it is deserved. The quality of food that comes out of his kitchens is testament to his high standards.
June 9th, 2011
11:46 am
Didn't say anything about his high standards or the quality of his food or whether or not he should be proud of it. I said he was rude. Laying into that fellow contestant because he happened to explain that red meat was bad for you was no way for a professional to act. Did he really think this other contestant (forget his name) was going to dissuade the judges from giving him a good score? These are the same judges who gave bugs to the contestants to prepare. They're not going to be swayed by some vegetarian who complains about red meat (he was trying to explain his point of view for HIS work in the kitchen). Acheson also was VERY rude to the scientist whom he had to work with, practically blowing him off and acting as if HE didn't know what he was talking about. Also, his attitude about cooking down to his customer is NOT a "testament to his high standards" in any book. And these are the only 3 instances I can think of off the top of my head.
June 9th, 2011
7:07 pm
I think you just looked for some excuse to dislike him. I did not view those things in the same way as you. In fact, I thought the vegetarian guy was a pompous prick and deserved taking down. Chefs of Acheson's accomplishments are, in general, a bit arrogant by nature. It is part of what makes them successful. I guess I expect that and simply enjoy their work and, if I'm fortunate, their company.

Hugh, I admired your performance on Top Chef Masters; to the end, I thought you handled yourself with dignity and class. I did not think, based upon my limited TV perspective, that your dish was the one that should send you home… emulsification… smulsification… Critics are a necessary evil, God love them, but sometimes they are just a pain-in-the-neck… those that can't play teach…. Your restaurants are phenomenal and I wish you much success in the future…
June 10th, 2011
7:43 am
I agree with those who have commented that Hugh came off a bit arrogant at times. I've been a regular watcher of the TC series, and I've seen many chefs stand by their food but have done so in a polite and thoughtful manner.
Although he said, "The mayonnaise isn't broken", he appeared to also be saying, "You're crazy. You have no idea what you're talking about." I also feel that he was very condescending and rude to the chemist.
June 10th, 2011
9:39 am
edward, you are outnumbered. you HAVW to either be hugh, or his best "friend" to not have observed just how rude he was. 1164mgc–perfect description of his antics. dmd- yep, true. honestly, he may be a good cook and may run a decent restaurant, i do not know. but i am a foodie. i visit places that john reviews and i want to visit the restaurants of some chefs that i have seen on food network, etc. hugh may not miss my money, but id eat mickey d's (ewwww) before id eat free samples from hugh– he came across as very nasty.

Edward – why on Earth would I try to look for some reason to dislike Acheson?! I've watched just about every season of TC, including its spin-offs. I usually root for the Atlanta chefs, so he was on the top of my list for this season – I was looking for some reason to LIKE him, in fact. I don't wish him any ill-will. I just wish he'd treat people with more respect, and it doesn't have anything to do with his dry humor or his food. I haven't had his food or Richard Blais' or Kevin Gillespie's, but I believe Richard and Kevin are a much better representatives for Atlanta than Acheson is. Atlanta should be proud to have Kevin and Richard in their city. And I'm with Carla – I'd rather eat Mickey d's than to support Acheson, no matter how good it is!
June 10th, 2011
10:59 am
i did Blais' restaurant and his staff was wonderful and they loved him. if kevin is the cutie with the brother and they were in the top 2– i would eat anything he cooks. im in dc and i come home pretty often and when i do i check out the places john mentions. i even check out places in other states, like a new york joint a couple of weeks ago. maybe it is just southern charm, maybe it is that we work for our money– but bad manners are bad manners and hugh is full of em. actually, i really think he has low self confidence and that is why he comes off so arrogantly, but if you continue to bash us for seeing him as he has shown himself to be, this is going to get ugly. ga peach smiley face.
June 10th, 2011
11:09 am
you got me a little heated, i mentioned dc because: i use the name carla roqs, or carlaroqs in some places because i fell for yeah, carla on her first appearance of top chefs and totally loved her on her second chefs' appearance. her cooking was not very consistant, but…. her attitude and behavior towards her fellow chefs and the judges were a crowd pleaser. so…. carla roqs= rocks= is the bombdiggity. and i wanna eat her cooking– because of her attitude, and the "love". cannot imagine what screen name i would use for hugh. i knew he was gone when he said he would cook down to anyone who was paying for it. arggghhhh

Wow, over react much? The hyperbole is getting thick around here. Perhaps I am "outnumbered", but considering how very often the majority is profoundly ignorant and obtuse (Georgia politics anyone?), I'm happy to be among the minority.
I am not Hugh, I've never met him, even. I just don't slander and malign people based on an unrealistic interpretation made from a highly-edited "reality" show appearance.
June 12th, 2011
10:11 am
Hugh and his food are terribly pretentious. Too bad he got sent home TWICE from this show…
June 12th, 2011
11:22 am
You've taken a screen name on a food blog 'cause you like some one's acting — as opposed to their cooking? Hmmmm.
You're watching TV. If ever you want to get an dishonest reaction or read from a person's personality — point a camera at them. That is the fallacy of "reality" TV. There is nothing real about it. The only reality TV that ever existed (or exists) was candid camera or security cameras. Once the set is dressed, the make-up applied and the director says "roll" everything else is acting.
Get over yourself. As "a foodie" you'll eat Mickey D.'s and by pass on Hugh's establishments because of your perception of his performance on a "reality" TV show? Do you have any idea how that comes across?
Sigh. On the bright side, it just leaves more for me.
Hugh's food "terribly pretentious"? Yeah, right. Ramps, grits, beets, turnips, parsnips, local vegetables, etc. et. al. are all soooo pretentious. When I was growing up people looked down on the above named ingredients as "poor people food" because they were cheap, plentiful and filling.
June 12th, 2011
5:12 pm
The two judges, to put it mildly, are not normal. In fact I believe they are aliens-it is the one real weakness in the show. I'm am proud that Hugh exposed them, even at the cost of his own demise.
June 13th, 2011
11:34 am
edward, whateva. real athens: i work for my money, and i spend it where ever i desire. even if i am spending someone else's money- i spend it where i desire. hugh was dismissed from the show, twice. his attitude on the show was horrible- be it just for tv or real. i do not really care. i do not deal with attitudes. if you'd read my posts thoroughly you would have noted that i have visited places john has reviewed. there is a little, bitty place in ny that my manhattan friends had never even heard of, i went there– and the attitudes were pretty decent and the dish was great. i do not shop in stores where the clerks have attitudes. mickey d's? i was being facetious– but would i prefer a smile at mcdonald's as opposed to someone who states he would cook down for someone as long as they were paying????????? heck yeah. i think he is a jerk and you prob are as well. how is that for projecting?
June 13th, 2011
12:47 pm
Carla, just as you have taken what was presented on TV to make an assumption about Chef Atcheson, I can use what you have posted here to accurately determine you are a shallow, gullible person typical of those who value appearance over substance. There's my projection. Have a pleasant day.

Object of the Month
Ivory portrait miniature of Mary Ickeringill 1790s
In an act of extreme generosity, this rare ivory portrait relief was recently presented to the Museum by a Friend of the Holburne. Made in Bath by virtuoso carvers Stephany and Dresch in the 1790s, the relief depicts Mary Ickeringill, the sister of the donor's great-great grandmother Ann Wilson (nee Ickeringill).
The Ickeringills were a Yorkshire family and the relief must have been carved during a visit to Bath. The portrait is surrounded by a garland of Stephany and Dresch's characteristic miniature carvings of flowers. It perfectly complements two Stephany and Dresch ivory landscapes already in the collection, acquired by Sir William Holburne.The relief is currently being conserved and reframed, after which it will be displayed in the Andrew Fletcher Gallery. It forms part of a growing collection of miniatures, silhouettes and portrait reliefs made in Bath during the 18th and early 19th centuries.

Monkeybread- that's a cool piece. I like your style alot .Good comp. choice. Risky color combination of green and red, but you pulled it off very well somehow.
Hekatoncheir- great job in every aspect. Only if beeing peeky, I could say that the planets are colliding witch each other a bit. Could be more space between them. But in general I think it's technically the best piece in this round.

Vitalize Workout
The Vitalize Workout provides an introduction to the essentials of exercise while seated in a chair. Katrina reviews how to assess your heart rate, the importance of posture, and ways to stay cool — including breathing techniques, hydration, what to wear, and how to modify workouts to fit your specific needs. The total workout is about 42 minutes and can be completed in a series of circuits, all performed while sitting in a chair. You can modify the routines or split into sections. The exercises focus on building arm, pelvic, back, leg and shoulder strength, as well as strengthening the core.
Click on the pictures below to meet the Vitalize team. Each of the participants featured in the Vitalize Workout on the Fitness with Katrina DVD is living with multiple sclerosis. Get a firsthand look at how they incorporate fitness into their overall treatment and wellness regimen.
After trying a few different therapies, Cathy was able to find a treatment that worked for her, and has helped her tremendously. As a mother, it's important to Cathy that she is able to keep up with her kids and spend time with them. She also likes to do other physical things, such as taking short walks.
Cathy believes that living well with multiple sclerosis means remembering that you can, and should, remain active, even if you do smaller things or have physical limitations. Cathy considers her multiple sclerosis a special gift, as it teaches her valuable life lessons and allows her to focus on her abilities rather than disabilities. This is a lesson that she tries to impart to others who struggle with chronic illnesses and mobility issues. Cathy believes that overcoming life's challenges is something everyone has to deal with and that having multiple sclerosis has only given her added strength as a way to get through those challenges.

The half-finished project abandoned. A symbol of the economic boom and the subsequent crash.
In 2007, developers had big plans to bring high-end shopping to Elk Grove to match its growing population.
It was supposed to be Elk Grove's answer to the fountains at Roseville. But by the next year, construction stopped on the 107-acre mall.
The mall's owner, general growth properties, filed for bankruptcy.
While the project was abandoned, hope to create something special for the city was not.
"We in the community, the city, council is very positive. It's a major component of our overall development strategy to get the mall up and running," said Starbuck, now working with developer Howard Hughes.
They're looking for at least three anchor stores and several dozen more smaller stores.
"The population here in elk grove is perfectly suited for the types of stores promenade envisioned and still envisions in the facility," said Starbuck.
Keeping the shopping in Elk Grove, could mean several hundred thousand dollars in tax money for the city.
It's something people here are not only ready for but they've been waiting for it.
"It's a lot of the big name stores, not too much variety. If we want to go shopping we have to go to Arden or Downtown Plaza," said Elk Grove resident Jamie Wright.
"It would stop me from having to go north, Arden and Roseville. I'd be great, convenient. I work right here. I'd be great," said Leticia Montgomery, another Elk Grove resident.

An article in the Jan. 11, 1913, edition of The Argus announced a generous gift to an area seminary that will be used for the construction of a chapel on the Maiden Choice Lane campus.
A gift of $40,000 promised to St. Charles' College near Catonsville has brought joy to the faculty and students and will assure a handsome chapel in the group of buildings being erected there.
The donor is Patrick Dougherty of Baltimore, a successful tugboat owner. Learning of the needs of the college some time ago, he said he would help, and Wednesday it was officially announced that the college could draw on him for the amount stated.
Standing in the centre and as part of the administration building, the chapel will add greatly to the picturesqueness of the group. The administration building has reached the second story in construction, but work will be halted until Architects Ellicott and Emmart complete plans for the chapel. Members of the faculty of the college have given some ideas they want in the new structure, and these are being arranged in the drawings.
While Mr. and Mrs. Albert H. Plitt, of Old Orchard road, Ten Hills, were in the city attending church service Sunday, thieves broke into their home, searched every room and stole $130 in money and jewels.
On their return home at night, Mr. Plitt found everything in confusion and immediately telephoned for the police at Catonsville. Patrolmen Peters and Poehlman went to the house and helped investigate the extent of the damage.
Partly burned matches were found in every room, showing that the thieves made their call after dark. A window was found forced in the dining room and the kitchen door unlocked from the inside.
Thieves made another descent upon Catonsville early Sunday morning where they entered the home of William G. Hewitt, on Nunnery lane.
The thieves cut a slat in a shutter of the dining room, the cottage being unoccupied for the present, as Mr. and Mrs. Hewitt are spending the winter in the city. The house was ransacked from cellar to attic and articles in all the rooms strewn all about the floors. The amount of plunder taken could not be stated Sunday by Mr. Hewitt, who discovered the robbery when he made a visit to his country home.
75 Years Ago
An article in the Jan. 7, 1938, edition of The Catonsville Herald and Baltimore Countian announced the capture of a car thief discovered in an area garage.
A man who identified himself as Thomas Gates Via, 50 years old, of Woodlawn, was ordered held under $1,000 bail for the Baltimore county grand jury on Monday by Magistrate John Loeber of Catonsville, on a charge of attempted theft of an automobile.
Albert F. Fisher, of Woodlawn, called the Catonsville police early Friday, saying he had caught a man in his garage trying to remove the automobiles there.
Patrolmen John Laumann and Thomas Simmons arrived to find Via lying on the ground in front of the garage.
"He fell down," explained Fisher.
Slumped over the steering wheel, William Hyman, 36, was found dead in his automobile, apparently from carbon monoxide gas, in a patch of woods off Belmont Avenue, near the Rolling Road, Woodlawn, on Wednesday.
Fire Captain Howard Bell, driving by, saw the machine and on investigating found its doors were locked. Bell called Patrolman Albert Eitmiller, who pried a door open with some tools taken from the back of Hyman's car.

After more than 15 years on the state school board, Kim Burningham has announced he will not to seek re-election after this year.
Burningham, 77, said that given his age and his wife's multiple sclerosis, it's simply time to step down.
"I guess I would probably keep doing it forever, but I'm nearly 80 years old," Burningham said Monday. "I don't have the energy I used to."
Burningham, of Bountiful, served as head of the state school board for many years, including during the tumultuous statewide debate over private school vouchers. The state school board refused to implement vouchers early on while courts were still pondering the law. Ultimately, Utah voters defeated vouchers in a 2007 referendum.
He counted the board's actions during the voucher debate as an instance where "we certainly were able to make a change."
"The other big battle is just trying to get increased support financially for education, but that's a battle that has yet to be won — but must be some day if our children are going to get the kind of education they need," Burningham said.
Burningham, who was a Republican lawmaker for 16 years prior to his time on the school board, will continue to serve until his term ends in January. He said he will continue to be politically involved, as a member of Utahns for Ethical Government and Utahns for Public Schools.
In a blog post Monday, he urged competent candidates to run for office, saying Utah needs more quality people in elected positions.
"Utah [and much of the nation] has seen increased control in our policy bodies of ultra-right, 'Tea-Party'-type politicians," Burningham wrote. "In many cases, their mode of operation is to throw up roadblocks rather than working with other leaders to find solutions. We need politicians interested in solving problems instead of advancing their rigid ideology. We have some; we need more. We need fewer policymakers beholden to power brokers who pull the purse strings of public policy by injections of cash!"

I enjoyed Rafe Needleman's post on CNET's Webware blog last week, offering readers a vote on 11 business models for Twitter. Rafe makes a great point about business models — what they are, what they're about.
Business model, frankly, is not my favorite term. It became fashionable in the late 1990s, I think, because that was a time when people didn't have clear and obvious ways to make money from the traffic they had on their website. If that sounds familiar, that's because — at least until the recession-or-whatever struck –there was still a lot of that around today.
Rafe looks at Twitter, which right now is free for the user, offering us (I use it and like it, by the way — you can follow me as timberry) a way to communicate with the rest of the world of Twitter users by way of 140-character text snippets. It's a lot like IM, but broadcast, not one-on-one.
The business model point of this is that Twitter doesn't have any obvious way to make money. It's a free service. What it does have is traffic. Twitter has something like 1.5 million users. And it also has venture capital investment. A quick Google search indicates that the $15 million raised earlier this year was just the most recent round, and those investors valued it at $80 million.
So don't get too hung-up on a non-business-model business model. Twitter doesn't really not have a business model. After all, some very smart investors (among them Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures, who–should you doubt his smarts — has one of the best VC blogs anywhere) are giving it millions of dollars. But then again, it has no revenue except investments.
And that, the lack of business model, makes Rafe nervous. Or maybe just interested. He suggests 11 different choices, including such things as putting up ads, charging some users for more volume, or decorations, selling private versions to enterprises and, last but not least:
Grow the user base and sell the company, perhaps to Facebook. It worked for ICQ, which was scooped up by AOL in 1998.
So that's a good example of how the "business model" jargon works. It's about getting money: money to pay the bills, money to grow (besides venture capital investment) and, maybe, money to give those investors a return on their investment.

Glenn Loury invites guests from the worlds of academia, journalism and public affairs to share insights on economic, political and social issues.
|fast audio
John and Glenn express their outrage at the killing of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman. They consider the intersection of violent crime, stereotyping, and "stop and frisk" policies. Glenn explores possible reasons for higher rates of violence in black communities and extols the benefits of organized black protest against police brutality in the wake of this tragedy. John and Glenn liken the Trayvon Martin killing of 2012 to the Emmett Till lynching of 1955. John admits that this case helps him better understand the 1992 LA riots, while Glenn offers a potentially more effective alternative than civil disorder to help the black poor.
Glenn and Reihan discuss two policy debates: the economics of higher education and the wisdom of the auto bailouts. Reihan criticizes the "college cartel." What's driving the incredible increase in the cost of higher education? Glenn wonders whether selective colleges and universities don't serve a useful role in bringing bright young people together. Reihan summarizes his "too big to fail" objections to the Detroit bailouts. Glenn invokes the "Samaritan's Dilemma," and wonders if objecting to bailouts can ever be a viable political strategy.
Mark and Glenn start off by recalling Harvard's Kennedy School in 1980s, where they both came to know James Q. Wilson. Mark says liberals got the crime question wrong, while Glenn urges that "crime" be placed in broad political perspective. Glenn asks why the US imprisons so many—could the answer be American democracy? Glenn and Mark argue the merits of the new parole supervision policy reflected in Project HOPE. They close with a heated debate on crime, human nature, and Wilson's legacy.
Glenn Loury interviews Gershom Gorenberg about his book, The Unmaking of Israel. Glenn asks whether the real problem is that the Israeli state is ethnic, not that it's religious. Would empowering Arab Israelis be a smart move for Zionists? Gershom describes how government officials aided and abetted illegal settlers, and how lawlessness emerged. Are ultra-Orthodox Jews dependent on government largesse? Gershom closes on an optimistic note.

An Erie man will stand trial for the assault on well known local physician Justine Schober, MD in her downtown office in late May.
District Judge Sue Mack ordered 31-year old Eddie Johnson to stand trial on 7 criminal counts, including attempted murder. He is accused of using a metal hole puncher to beat Schober in her office at Modern Tool Square.
During a preliminary hearing today, Schober said she lost 50% of her blood in the attack, but never actually saw who attacked her.
But Erie Police detectives said they tracked down a kindle, stolen during the crime, to Johnson.
And in a videotaped interview, a former girlfriend of Johnson said he told her he beat a woman in a downtown office during a burglary. Police said before the interview Ann Kizer told them she had been off drugs for 2 weeks.
However in court today, Kizer said she was high on crack cocaine during that interview. Johnson remains in the Erie County Prison on $500,000 bond.

A 40-year-old Flint man faces murder charges in the death of his girlfriend. Prosecutors charged Jacob Moreles Perez with first degree murder two days after her death.
Police say the man strangled 30-year-old Angela Vance to death at a home on Minnesota Avenue early Monday morning. Officers arrested Perez shortly after.
Neighbors told TV5 they've heard the couple fighting before.
"Just a couple times at night but I didn't know if they were fighting between themselves," said neighbor Richard Brown.
Police are not releasing a lot of details about the events leading up to Vance's death.
Perez remains lodged in the Genesee County Jail.

Meet the new iPhone and Apple Watch.
Three charts that help explain why tomorrow's Apple announcement is such a big deal.
SpaceX is printing rocket parts, including the thrust chamber on the engines for its Dragon V2 spacecraft, which it hopes will one day deliver NASA astronauts to the International Space Station.
The U.K. is the first sovereign state to make such a large-scale and public commitment to testing the cars, experts said.
Greetings from the new Space Race
So long, Russia vs. U.S. galactic rivalry: With NASA hobbled by budget cuts, the pool of nations vying for the top spot beyond the Earth has grown to dozens of countries, punctuated by China's recent success on the moon.
It was a moment of national pride when images of the six-wheel rover, dubbed Jade Rabbit, were transmitted live back to Earth, showing the redand gold Chinese flag on the moon for the first time.
"Now as Jade Rabbit has made its touchdown on the moon surface," the state-run Xinhua news agency said, "the whole world again marvels at China's remarkable space capabilities."

The brave new world of…2013
You may not have a robot dog, techno-comforts or kids listening to "futura-rock." But some of the predictions in this recently-rediscovered issue of the Los Angeles Times Magazine largely hold true.
Predictions about the increased prevalence of telecommunication, smarter cars (though ours don't look as funky as the ones seen above) and globalization all seem to be rather spot-on, considering they were made in 1988!
That said, there's no way your morning starts out like this:
With a barely perceptible click, the Morrow house turns itself on, as it has every morning since the family had it retrofitted with the Smart House system of wiring five years ago…in the study, the family's personalized home newspaper, featuring articles on the subjects that interest them…is being printed by laser-jet printer off the home computer – all while the family sleeps.

Why not start your own seaborne colony?
Two Silicon valley entrepreneurs, fed up with U.S. regulations on visas granted to highly-educated workers, have turned to the sea to solve their difficulty in hiring new workers.
Currently, just 65,000 temporary work visas are granted yearly, hence the so-called project "Blueseed." Hosted on a cruise ship 12 miles off of the coast of northern California, the goal is to create a start-up culture, workspace and living quarters independent of visa restrictions.
Keep an eye out for the spring of 2014, the planned launch time-frame for Blueseed, and hope it doesn't turn out like another (fictional) aquatic attempt to leave governmental restrictions.

So long, drearily-designed Silicon Valley
Awash with cash, the technology companies that have come to define Silicon Valley are just coming to realize how much of an eyesore their offices can be.
Rather than complementing the lush rolling hills to the west and the expansive San Francisco Bay to the east, this high-tech hub has produced an unending line of dreary office parks full of two-story, cubicle-lined buildings whose main visual goal is to escape notice.
Pictured above, for example, is concept art for Apple's gigantic new headquarters plan, dubbed "Apple Campus 2," planned to occupy 175 acres.

To be or not to be (at the office)
High-profile Yahoo Inc. CEO Marissa Mayer may have spent her goodwill in declaring that employees may no longer work from home. The reason? As explained by Yahoo Human Resources Chief Jackie Reses in a memo sent to employees:
"To become the absolute best place to work, communication and collaboration will be important, so we need to be working side-by-side. That is why it is critical that we are all present in our offices."
Mayer's black-and-white policy has particularly offended working mothers, a group that Mayer herself just joined - and has compensated for by using her vast personal wealth to build a nursery next to her office.
Many view telecommuting as the only way time-crunched women can care for young children and advance their careers without the pay, privilege or perks that come with being the chief executive of a Fortune 500 company.
Want Google to put a computer on your face? The technology juggernaut is currently looking for "explorers" to test out it's new Google Glass technology. Google's grand hope is that one day, you'll be just as comfortable wearing fancy glasses are you are looking down at your smartphone.
But until then, you'll have to send over a brief application, and $1,5000, to Google.
The Red (computer) Scare: Is the Chinese military behind hundreds of hacking instances since 2006? One U.S. computer security firm believes so, fanning concerns that U.S. digital infrastructure, both private and governmental, isn't up to snuff. From reporter Michael Muskall's look at Mandiant's findings:
The hacking activity was likely part of the mandate of the Unit 61398 of China's People's Liberation Army, identified in the report as "one of the most persistent of China's cyber threat actors." The unit is based in the Pudong New Area, outside of Shanghai from where the computer attacks originate.
Read the report for yourself here, and see if you agree that the recent hacking spree, which has targeted companies from Facebook and Apple to the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, is being dictated by the Chinese government.

|(ESEA) Reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
If you have been following the legislative path of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), you will recall the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, initially authorized in 1965 as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), was signed into law on January 8, 2002 as a means of holding states, school districts, and schools more accountable for improving the academic performance of each student regardless of economic status, race, ethnicity, proficiency in English or disability. In March of 2010, when ESEA was already two years past due for reauthorization, a plan for reauthorization titled, "A Blueprint for Reform" was released, proposing a shift in the focus of education toward world-class, 21st century education for all American students to ensure that they could compete in the global economy:
This plan included:
The Council for Educational Children (CEC) published a set of recommendations for ESEA reauthorization. The full document can be found on the CEC website, under Policy and Advocacy:
The ESEA Guiding Principles include:
In its recommendations, CEC outlines detailed recommendations within each of these guiding principles along with a rationale for recommendations made.
New Bipartisan Legislation:
Taking a more traditional approach, a bipartisan bill was introduced by Senators Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Mike Enzi (R-Wyoming) to reauthorize ESEA. The bill proposed a measure to increase the equity of funding for schools across districts and states, and to expand the initiatives of Race to the Top, Investing in Innovation, and Promise Neighborhood programs. It keeps the current testing system in place, but eliminates the 2013-14 deadline for bringing all students to the level of proficiency in reading and math.

Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert have been dodging divorce rumors for quite some time. The country music superstars took to Twitter to dispel the latest rumors regarding a report that they have split.
On Wednesday, April 16 Gossip Cop once again took exception with something Life & Style magazine published. The cover of the latest edition of Life & Style claims that Miranda Lambert has left Blake Shelton because of his partying. Allegedly Lambert wants a baby soon and issued an ultimatum to Shelton to clean up his act or else.
Gossip Cop reports that the Life & Style cover has zero credibility. The article in Life & Style quotes an insider, who claims that Miranda Lambert has made the decision to move on with her life and leave Blake Shelton behind. The report goes on to say that Lambert is tired of being humiliated by Shelton and wants him to grow up and clean up his act.
Rumors of Blake Shelton cheating on Miranda Lambert have plagued the couple, who have been married three years, for over a year. Now, according to Life & Style magazine, Miranda is ready to give up completely on her marriage to Blake Shelton. But, according to Gossip Cop, there is not truth whatsoever in that report.
The couple each took to their Twitter accounts to laugh off yet another round of tabloid rumors. In his tongue-in-cheek tweet Blake Shelton expressed his hope that he received all the liquor. On her Twitter page, Miranda Lambert answered a fan's question, "Don't you guys separate every 6 months and have a baby every 3 months?" Showing off her sense of humor, Lambert responded, "Yes it's very exhausting!!"
Last weekend Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton walked the red carpet at the American Country Music Awards.
