- 6 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 4 1/2- to 5-pound flat-cut brisket

- 10 ounces cherry tomatoes
- 4 ounces asparagus tips or sugar snap peas
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Boil first 3 ingredients in pot until reduced to 4 cups, about 25 minutes.
Preheat oven to 325°F. Heat oil in large Dutch oven over high heat. Add bones; sauté untsil well browned, turning occasionally, about 12 minutes. Transfer bones to bowl. Add onions, celery and allspice to Dutch oven. Season with salt; cook until onions are golden, stirring often, about 25 minutes. Continue cooking until onions are deep dark brown, scraping bottom of Dutch oven and stirring often, about 15 minutes more. Add garlic and thyme; sauté 5 minutes. Transfer onion mixture to large roasting pan. Add 1 cup broth mixture to Dutch oven. Bring to boil, scraping up browned bits; transfer to roasting pan.
Season brisket generously with salt and pepper. Add to Dutch oven and brown over high heat, about 5 minutes per side. Place brisket, fat side up, on onion mixture in roasting pan; surround with bones. Add remaining broth mixture and tomatoes to Dutch oven; bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Pour mixture over brisket.
Cover roasting pan tightly with heavy-duty foil and place in oven. Bake until brisket is tender, about 3 hours 45 minutes. Remove foil. Cool brisket 2 hours. Refrigerate uncovered 3 hours. Cover brisket tightly and keep chilled 1 day or up to 3 days.
Scrape fat from top of pan juices; discard fat. Transfer brisket to cutting board, scraping gelled juices off brisket back into roasting pan. Bring contents of roasting pan to simmer. Discard bones. Pour contents of roasting pan into coarse strainer set over large bowl. Press on solids to release as much liquid as possible. Purée solids in processor, using on/off turns. Mix enough purée into juices in bowl to form thick sauce. Add tomato paste and whisk to blend. Pour sauce into medium saucepan and simmer until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
Slice brisket thinly across grain at slight diagonal angle. Arrange slices in glass baking dish. Drizzle 1/2 cup sauce over; cover with foil.
Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add all squashes, turnips and carrots and cook until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to large bowl. Add potatoes to boiling water and cook until just tender, about 12 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to same bowl. Add onions to boiling water and cook until almost tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and cool slightly. Peel onions; add to same bowl.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake brisket until heated through, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, boil margarine, honey and thyme in heavy large skillet over high heat until syrup is reduced to 1/3 cup, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add cooked vegetables, tomatoes and asparagus; toss until heated, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Arrange brisket on platter. Bring remaining sauce to simmer. Arrange vegetables around brisket. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.

Walking around Puebla
... myself a Mexican SIM card - no one should live without internet 24/7. Pretty chilled out afternoon - we went to the museo de la Revolucion (where the Mexican Revolution started) - no English translation which was a pain. We then headed to the bibliotheca which we had to pay 20 pesos to wander for like 10 steps and not be allowed to take any photos boo, we decided to ...
Perfectly Pretty Puebla
... interesting look around. Perhaps more impressive (And certainly less constrained by language barriers) was the imposing red Church of Santo Domingo (built in 1650). As impressive as some of the other churches (And Cathedrals) I had seen in Mexico had been I was really taken by surprise when it came to this one. knowledge and religion can be left aside for this one, the only thing you need to appreciate this is a pair of eyes.
Churches and Pyramids
... br> Taking Roberto's suggestion, I had tortilla de cameron and a deep purple colored drink. My lunch looked like a vegie patie in a curry, though the taste is totally unique, with rich shrimp flavor, and mixed spices.
We continued to look around the street food. I bought an amaranth and mixed nuts candy for $5 (which retailed at $16 at the bus station). Tried some of the exotic drinks as well: pulque, mamuey, guanabana all of which taste ...
Onward's to Puebla!
... we're going to a mini tourist trap, but actually for what it was turned out so much better...
Pulling into the car park we decamp from the tourbus like some SWAT Team to advance enmasse to this small shop, to which we're delightfully presented with a table with about several bottles of the local brew which for Mexico is of course famous the world over for Tequila!
Now Tequila has a quite nasty effect on me back ...
Volcanoes, Quesedillas, Waterfalls and Chameleons
... to walk over the slippery rocks without falling, but we managed it! We got to the waterfall when the guy suggested we made the last jump over, so he could take our photo by it, we cautiously agreed and crossed safely. When we got to the other side, I decided we should swap places, Itzel managed to get to the other side of me and as I turned around, I lost my footing and slipped feet first into the river, pulling Itzel in along with me.

More than 74,000 cases of improper unemployment insurance payments occurred in Oklahoma over the past five years, a Tulsa World analysis of Oklahoma Employment Security Commission data shows.
Payments between 2007 and 2011 equaled more than $47.8 million funded by employer taxes and federal money, data shows. The commission attempts to recover money when it discovers improper payments, agency spokesman John Carpenter said.
The Oklahoma Employment Security Commission provides unemployment benefits to qualified residents through the state's unemployment insurance program and the federal emergency unemployment compensation program. The agency also provides services for the work force and business community.
Employers pay taxes that fund Oklahoma's unemployment insurance program. The separate, federally funded emergency program temporarily extends payments for people who have exhausted regular state benefits. The emergency program began in 2008 and is scheduled to end in January.
Nearly 80 percent of the more than 74,000 improper payment cases involved state benefits, equaling $38.1 million, data shows. Other improper payment cases were through the emergency program. Cases can last for one or several weeks, Carpenter said.
The number of state program improper payment cases more than doubled between 2007 and 2011, increasing from nearly 5,000 cases to more than 10,000, data shows. Cases increased for three consecutive years until falling more than 40 percent between 2010 and 2011.
Increases are directly tied to the unprecedented rise in the number of claims filed with the agency because of the recession, Carpenter said.
From 2007 to 2011, the number of state program claims the commission paid increased more than 50 percent, from approximately 112,000 to almost 171,000, data show. Over the period, more than 850,000 claims worth nearly $1.59 billion were paid.
Improper payments fall into three categories, Carpenter said.
Claimant error payments occur because a claimant mistakenly provided incorrect information when applying for benefits, he said.
Administrative error payments occur when the agency approves a claimant's benefits only to later discover that person did not qualify, Carpenter said.
An employer has 10 days to protest a claim filed against them, Carpenter said. Sometimes employers return late paperwork that shows the person already approved for benefits does not qualify.
"That's actually a large percentage of the (improper) claims that were made," Carpenter said. "Fraud is a part of it, but it isn't a huge part of it."
Just more than 20 percent of improper payment cases involved fraud, data show. Fraud occurs when individuals intentionally represent themselves as eligible for payments they are not entitled to, according to state law.
Improper payments occur rarely in Oklahoma compared to other states, according to a Department of Labor analysis released last summer. Oklahoma's projected improper payment rate of less than 6 percent was the seventh lowest when compared to other states, the analysis shows.
Rates were highest in Indiana and Louisiana, where rates were more than 43 percent.
"We did do very well, but you're still talking about millions of dollars. Doing well is not good enough," Carpenter said.
The analysis estimates $66.9 million total in improper payments in Oklahoma between July 2008 and June 2011. A commission news release states the actual amount was just less than $25 million. The amounts differed so greatly because the commission counted each overpayment claim, whereas Department of Labor statistics were projected based on a random sample, the release said.
In recent years, the commission has increased efforts to detect improper payments, Carpenter said. The agency has made internal changes to increase efficiency. Changes have allowed the commission to review more cases and catch more improper payments, he said.
In addition to tips the agency gets from concerned residents and random sample audits, the commission uses two data-driven methods to discover improper payments have been made, he said.
At the end of every quarter, the commission cross matches unemployment benefit payment data with wage report data employers file, Carpenter said. An investigation is done if benefits and wages were drawn at the same time.
The commission also does weekly comparisons of the people receiving benefits with the new hire reporting system. Federal law requires each state to track new hires as a method to enforce child-support payments. The Department of Labor now requests that the state concentrate on new hire data as the primary method to discover improper unemployment payments, Carpenter said. However, the requirement is "a law without any teeth," he said.
"While it's set out employers have to do this, there's no penalty in the law," he said.
It is his impression that about half of employers within the state report, Carpenter said. A commission news release estimated employer compliance to be as low as 30 percent.
The registry could be the commission's best tool for finding improper payments if every business reported new hires, he said.
"If every employer in the state reported on that, we would certainly have the ability to track more of these improper payments when people go back to work," Carpenter said.
The unemployment system can be overwhelming for employers, said Brett Baker, who owns Part-Time Pros with his wife, Carey.
Baker said he did not have an HR background when the couple started the temporary work agency for professionals.
"It's just a confusing system," he said. "But maybe that's because of my lack of education of it too."
Baker hired an HR consultant after it got to the point he was spending a day each week handling paperwork and proof for claims, he said.
"I hired someone a year ago because I grew so frustrated," he said.
Joe Schulte, owner of Southwood Landscape and Nursery, said he believes the unemployment insurance system works. The 10 days employers have to return paperwork when a claim is filed against them is enough time, he said. Proof the commission requests if a person was fired for reasons such as discipline or tardiness should already be documented and available in the personnel file, he said.
"It seems to work just fine from my perspective," Schulte said. "It's a matter of making sure all the t's are crossed and i's are dotted."
When the commission discovers improper payments have been made, the primary goal is to recover the money, Carpenter said.
"When you get down to it, one of the most important things to us is getting that money back as soon as possible," he said.
In 2003, the commission began a garnishment program to recover the money directly from people's paychecks.
The program cannot recoup the entire value of the payments, Carpenter said. But it is a dramatic improvement over the previous situation, when the agency relied on the claimant to pay the money back.
The commission also intercepts state tax refunds to recoup money, he said. Next year the agency will intercept federal tax refunds and lottery winnings.
People who committed fraud are denied from filing for unemployment benefits for up to two years, he said.
Legislation pending this session would add a penalty of 25 percent of the amount of the original overpayment in fraud cases.
Currently, those who receive improper payments due to fraud or claimant error are charged 1 percent interest each month the payment is not repaid.

i have a 100% true story for you: tonight i read at a poetry open-mic hosted by a friend and this guy named Mordecai Achilles (i promise this is true) got up and performed, in a fake british accent and from memory, a 10-minute godawful steam-of-conciousness slam poem "from the perspective of a polar bear" while he strutted and randomly squatted all over the stage and then he forgot the rest of it and stopped and we all applauded and he proceeded to give a 10-minute impromptu and totally disjointed speech about peace and brotherhood and art, MAAAAAAN while my friend and i looked around the room for anything sharp enough to murder him with
Public and open opportunities to share art, or, well, any sharing of art in any public space has the potential to be utterly transcendental.
But then there's this stuff. I feel for ya, steeb, even if I've never dealt with that particular brand of art/writing dumbassery before.

Abigail Kirsch was fantastic! I could not have asked for a better caterer to handle my wedding. Although there was a shift in management mid way through our planning period, Abigail Kirsch handled themselves professionally and strived to give us the best service. The food was outstanding and very hearty. The mojito granitas were a hit! And the butlered service was impeccable. Great job to Carl Hedin and his staff. Thank you for a memorable evening. It was truly magical.

My husband and I were a bit anxious when we started the process of looking at venues because we really wanted a unique venue with stellar food. We also did not want to spend a fortune to achieve our vision. We struck gold when we found Abigail Kirsch's Stone Mill at the New York Botanical Garden. The venue is absolutely stunning and the food is out of this world. It is on the smaller side, so if you are looking for a large banquet hall, this is not your place. It is quaint and romantic.
Our wedding was absolutely perfect and that is thanks to Stephanie and her team at AK's Stone Mill. The course of the day flowed flawlessly thanks to them. We are so fortunate to have had our wedding at this location with the dream team.

I could not have been happier with Abigail Kirsch. The food was amazing, people still cannot stop talking about it and the service was phenomenal. They really outdid themselves, I would definitely recommend them and use them again. Richard my coordinator at Stage 6 was on top of everything and had a calmness about him that I really appreciated.

The venue was absolutely perfect! Our coordinator Paul was a true godsend. He worked with us on the menu and was our savior the day of. All of our guests had a magnificent time and the food was to die for!
Kudos to the staff at AK who made our day unforgettable!

Abigail Kirsch catered our wedding on June 8, and Lauren Mancuso was our sales manager and day-of planner, and I can't say enough about how wonderful she was! She was extremely responsive, competent and very organized! I think it takes a special person to be able to plan weddings. God knows I didn't enjoy the planing of my wedding at all, but Lauren really has a passion for this and really knows what she is doing, and she makes herself very available to lean on, both tactically and therapeutically. I would say what i was most elated about was how she encouraged us to run anything wedding-wise past her, even if it had nothing to do with food or the details of the reception. She was definitely my therapist throughout the planning stages and I don't what I would have done without her! If you are considering AK to cater your affair, I wouldn't do so without Lauren as your lead person.
That said, AK was great as well, their food, quality, taste and presentation were all exceptional, and exceeded our expectations. U would highly recommend this company, and I wouldn't be surprised if Lauren Mancuso doesn't start a company of her own someday, well either in catering or therapy!!!

If you are looking for a caterer that is unique and is aware of every detail that will wow you, Abigail Kirsch is for you. My husband and I looked at many places in NY and even in Florida as we were pondering with a destination wedding. When we saw the site and the two areas in the Botanical Gardens we were simply amazed. We selected the Stone Mill. The Stone Mill is a beautiful and intimate location. At first we were hesitant because AK was not your typical caterer. They do thing differently. As we spoke to people that had the chance to work with AK, all that we kept on hearing over and over was how amazing the service and food was. How great the venue was and how great the AK team was in ensuring our day went without hitch. Every vendor, person, and service provider we spoke to all said the same thing. We were taken back by all the support AK had from various individuals. The vendor gives you everything you need. There are only a few things you need to complete your day and AK can provide recommendations. A huge concern for my husband was the food. He is a foodie and it is always hard to please Hispanic people because they can always cook better that Gordon Ramsey :). There is no one word that can describe the food but the first word that comes to mind is amazing. I can say with the basic package there is enough food and nobody will go hungry. The amount of food provided in the cocktail hour is incredible. It is not your average wedding food like chicken marsala, or prime rib. We are talking 5 star restaurant quality food. You will never think it is catered. If you have a chance to deal with AK Stephanie Hill is your go to person. She is amazing.

I cannot say enough about Abigail Kirsch. We had our wedding at the Stonemill at the New York Botanical Garden. It was absolutely flawless. Paul Richards was our event coordinator & he did a phenomenal job. He made sure that our wedding was exactly what we wanted. He made sure the night was seamless. Everything went off without a hitch. The food was absolutely incredible. They do not have tasting so I was a little worried. But so many people we know used AK for their events & said everything was amazing. They were right. We are foodies so great food was an absolute must for the event. We were beyond happy. The food was perfect! People raved about it. 2 months later people are still talking about it. The ambiance was stunning. I cannot rave enough about the magnificent job AK did with the food & venue and what a great job Paul did in handling our event. Thank you all. Ido could give them more stars I would. I highly recommend them.

Tappan Hill Mansion was the most amazing location for our wedding reception. The mansion is absolutely gorgeous, the views of the Hudson are breathtaking, the food is unparalleled and the service is impeccable. Gabe was an absolute dream to work with. He made the entire evening run smoothly and his attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our wedding reception was absolutely PERFECT. Gabe went above and beyond to make sure our guests had an unforgettable evening. Our guests raved about the food, service, and beauty of the location. I could not have dreamed of a more perfect, beautiful location for our wedding. A HUGE thank you to Gabe and the Tappan Hill staff for ensuring our wedding was perfect and unforgettable--not just for us but for all of our guests as well.

I was concerned when I was informed that there was not going to be a tasting for our food selection, but my concern was unwarrented. Just the presentation alone made it hard for my husband and I to choose because everything looked FANTASTIC. On the day of the wedding everyone was commenting on how delicious the food was (I only wish I was able to eat more of it).

Food was great, they were more expensive then I would have liked. I didnt get to eat much at cocktails but the guests enjoyed it. The portions were also very small for the money, but delicious nonetheless.

Going to Stage 6 for our wedding I did not have the option of bringing in another caterer. We had to use Abigail Kirsch, which i had heard good things about. I was worried because there was no food tasting! The food turned out to be amazing, but if i had to critique one thing the portions were small. Eric Hoffman was our banquet coordinator at Stage 6 and he was so great there was no need for a party planner. He took care of all the room details and made sure everything was in order and ran smoothly. If you are booking a party at Stage 6 make sure you request Eric!

Janet, the off-premises catering manager, is absolutely incredible. She made is possible for me to have a DREAM wedding without a wedding planner, because she was on the phone and on email with me WHENEVER I needed ANYTHING.
The food was beyond perfect. It is the best catering, beyond your dreams, and your guests will tell you that it is the best wedding they have ever been to. That was certainly the case for all my guests... and of course for me, but I'm biased! :)
The bar setup, the tables, from first to last detail, these guys REALLY know what they're doing. You do not have to think twice. If you do a tasting, you will know that there's absolutely NO competition. Work with Janet to figure out what to serve and what to hold back on, and make it work in your price range, because there is no comparison!

As part of a premiere PADI five-star National Geographic instructor-development center, International Scuba's team trains underwater explorers in a variety of courses that range from snorkeling and skin diving to open-water and rescue diving. The heated, indoor salt-water pool accommodates divers from ages 8 and older, and equipment packages ensure all students are outfitted for their dives. Beyond the student level, divers can also earn their master scuba-diver certification, thus becoming teachers themselves. Students who master any of these levels can then elect a related specialty allowing them to dive under the ice, discover underwater wrecks, snap photographs of marine life, and help protect coral reefs from predatory plastic bags. Students who have completed their desired level of training but want to venture forth with a group can also participate in a trip diving in locations abroad and in 30 rivers, quarries, and beaches in and around Texas.
Husband and wife duo Tabora and Toy Laster, owners of Choice Training Group Fitness, electrify the studio with their characteristic energy. Whether they're dressing up in hokey hula shirts to promote Zumba fitness parties or bringing in guest instructors to host self-defense sessions, the two aim to create a gym that feels like an inclusive club.
Newbies and old hats jump into a diverse set of classes, ranging from group fitness and boot camp, to pole-dancing sessions in the Kandy & Krome room, a mirror-lined, pole-bestrewn sanctuary for flirty fitness. Alongside high-energy cardio classes such as Belly Dance Fusion, Absolute Abs, or Zumba, the studio hosts bachelorette parties, couples massage sessions, and workshops on effective methods for releasing stress.
Imagine the moment when a shy, introverted young girl steps in front of a room full of people for the first time and speaks with confidence and clarity. This is a regular occurrence at Drama Kids International, where experienced teachers use a unique, copyrighted curriculum to help shape and focus outgoing children or draw shy children out of their shells. Classes for kids as young as 3 refine speech techniques, dramatic movement, and imagination, giving them the confidence to perform in front of an audience or finally ask their parents to change their names to Thespis. For older kids, aged 12–18, Drama Kids International offers the DKI Acting Academy, where serious theater kids can expand their speaking, acting, and auditioning skills through exercises and performances.
The instructors at Core Group Fitness understand that getting buff doesn't happen by simply visiting the gym; rather, they see it as a process inextricably linked to camaraderie and community. This team-based approach comes out in their group classes and boot camps, where cohorts of exercises grunt their way through TRX suspension training or build lean muscle and improve flexibility with functional workout regimens. They pair strength training with cardio work during their interval training sessions, which torch fat thanks to metabolism-boosting exercises. In addition to group classes, instructors also build rapports with individual students during personal training sessions, helping clients prep for their first marathon or last street fight with the meter man.
Our mission is to reduce stress, ease pain and bring peace back into peoples lives by reminding them of the natural balance they have within them all the time.
Krama Yoga Center's squad of dedicated instructors elucidate the ancient art of yoga for students of all skill levels with classes that emphasize mindful appreciation of the body. The studio boasts an expansive schedule of classes, including Vinyasa sessions that synchronize breath, movement, and high-fiving to generate focus as well as limber limbs. Guided Ashtanga classes hone the form and stamina required to attend Mysore Ashtanga sessions, where students progress through the traditional sequences unguided and at their own pace while instructors float about to offer postural adjustments and blueprints for new poses to attempt.

I have a Dell Studio laptop computer running Vista and am trying to hookup an external monitor.
The monitor works great, but I get the same image on both external and laptop.
When I close the laptop top, both screens go black.
Is there a way to configure the laptop to work with the lid shut and only view the external monitor.
In other works use the laptop as the CPU and keyboard, mouse, and monitor are external.
Also I have seen where you can have both external and laptop viewing two seperate applications at the same time.
How is that accomplished.
Thanks in advance.Richard Spring

Thank you Jude and John:
I was able to toggle between external, laptop, and both by using Fn+F8 keystroke combination.
I looked for your suggestion to turn off lid closed option, but was unable to find it in my "Control Panel"
I guess the laptop screen up is not that big of a deal, so thanks for all the help

What version of Vista are you running? How to change laptop lid settings If you double click the battery icon does it take you to Power Management?
I notice in my first posting above for some reason I failed to add the hyperlink to Add a monitor to your laptop computer Scroll down to where you can choose Vista settings.
I found another thread which might be pertinent Vista and external laptop monitor in regards to your graphics chip and driver

Ashcombe six-sail windmill, Kingston near Lewes (blown down in a gale in March 1916)
Stationers and printers, 35 High Street, Lewes. Around 1915 Baxters published the Brew Series of at least 22 quality real photographic cards of Lewes and neighbouring villages such as Offham, Barcombe Mills, Glynde and Kingston (the famous six sail windmill). Earlier, the firm's name had appeared on some coloured and sepia-tinted cards of Lewes that were actually produced by F. Frith & Co. Ltd. of Reigate and on other cards printed in Saxony. Baxters also sold a booklet of six tear-out collotype cards of Lewes that again may have been the work of Frith, although the cards are labelled "W. E. Baxter, Lewes" on the back. The booklet cost a mere three pence!
Baxters are believed to have opened a short-lived branch at Steyning - several collotype cards of Steyning are known (1908 postmark seen) marked "W.E. Baxter Ltd., Steyning & Lewes".
The Baxter family came to Lewes from Surrey. After training in London, John Baxter (1781-1858) settled in Lewes and set up a printing press on School Hill in 1802. He invented a composition inking roller, which proved to be a major technical advance, and published a wide variety of books, including the illustrated "Baxter" Bible and Horsfield's History of Lewes. In 1837, together with his youngest son, William Edwin Baxter, he launched the highly successful Sussex Agricultural Express, which continues today as the Sussex Express. William edited the paper for many years and succeeded his father as proprietor.
Of John Baxter's three sons, the best known was George (1804-1867), who moved to London in 1827 and became a celebrated engraver and colour printmaker. George invented an elaborate process of printing using a succession of engraved metal plates and wood blocks to transfer oil paints to paper. The resulting "Baxter Prints" are keenly collected today.
William Baxter, who was born in about 1808 or 1809, lived in Lewes High Street. His wife, Anne, came from Shropshire. One of their sons was Wynne Edwin Baxter, who was born in 1844. By 1881 Wynne was working as a solicitor in Lewes, and over the years he built up a very successful business. He and his wife, Kate, lived at 208 High Street. Ten years later he had remarried and with his new wife Caroline was living at 9 Albion Street.
The Baxter printing works in Lewes remained in use until quite recently but have now been replaced by flats.To directory of publishers

CHARLES TOWN – Political newcomer Jonathan Wertman reversed last week's election night ballot count and finished two votes ahead of incumbent Charles Town Councilman Don Clendening following a canvass of the vote total Tuesday evening.
[cleeng_content id="355560861" description="Read it now!" price="0.15" t="article"]The reversal came after both candidates approved nine provisional ballots that had not been counted last week that were recommended by City Clerk Kiya Tabb. The nine ballots broke heavily for Wertman, leaving him ahead in the count.
Clendening said "in all likelihood" he would seek a recount.
Initial results of the election, posted Friday, had incumbents Donald Clendening and Rich Bringewatt retaining their seats in races against Wertman and challenger Geary Johns, though the margin between in the Ward Three race fought by Wertman and Clendening was only one vote.
In an election with a turnout rate of just over 10 percent, Bringewatt defeated Johns by a margin of 219 to 143.
In the final tally in the race between Clendening and Wertman, however, the incumbent only edged out a 192 to 191 victory, with 16 provisional ballots yet to be counted.
City Manager Joe Cosentini said the city's canvassing board is responsible for determining which provisional ballots will be counted, on advice from Tabb.
"The city clerk will present information to the canvassing board, and the canvassing board will make a determination of which ballots will be counted and which ballots won't be counted," Cosentini said. "I'm expecting that around half of the ballots will be counted."
Tabb said prior to the meeting that she would recommend that nine of the 16 ballots be counted by the canvassing board. Those she recommended be thrown out were either cast by non-residents or non-registered voters, she said.
Cosentini said voters may be asked to cast provisional ballots for a variety of reasons, including if their name is accidentally left off of poll books, if they registered to vote after the poll book was printed or if they had recently moved to another ward.
Provisional ballots will be rejected if the voters who cast them are determined to be ineligible.
"Some people wind up voting who have a Charles Town address but live outside municipal elections boundaries," Cosentini said. "Those would be discarded."
Once the canvassing board announces the official results, candidates will have the opportunity to challenge the results and ask for a recount, an outcome that has happened twice in recent elections and is highly likely this year in the race between Clendening and Wertman.
"I'm simply hoping that whatever ballots that were properly cast are counted," Wertman said. "It is going to be very close, and we recognize that there are some provisional ballots that are not going to count.
"If we are down by one vote or a few votes, we will seek a recount, and I would expect my opponent to do the same," Wertman said.
Clendening agreed a recount should be done if the tally came to within six or seven votes.
"That would be a legitimate reason to challenge it," he said.

Think About It……… October 9, 2013
You'd be surprised at how much government you'll never miss. That seems to be the takeaway from last week's partial shutdown of the federal government; after Congress and the President were unable to come to an agreement on a continuing resolution to keep the government's doors open.
First, let's get some straw men out of the way. Contra Senator Harry Reid assertion that Tea Party Anarchist wanted nothing more than to watch the world burn, While even the most fervent advocates of small government don't think twice about funding vital military, national security or public safety personnel. Or, do they want to see seniors stop receiving their Social Security checks or the kids in Washington D.C. to go to the zoo.
You see what these same limited government advocates understand; however, is that there are awful lot of federal employees whose responsibilities are decidedly more superfluous than that. That is not just the opinion of Tea Party types it's actually the official policy of the Federal government. That's why during the shutdown or more accurately the slim-down; I guess, federal agencies and departments made a distinction between essential employees, needed to remain on the job, and non-essential employees who are dispensable enough to be furloughed.
The results were telling. Certain organs of the government understandably, required a greater portion of their workforce to stay on the job in an extreme and likely excessive example. The State Department furloughed virtually none of their workers. The Department of Veterans Affairs kept 95% of its staff, Homeland Security and the Justice Department kept about 85% of the workers on the job. Those numbers aren't beyond the realm of plausibility for departments that are essential for the basic functions of government.
The story is much different else however. The Department of Labor kept only 22% of its employees; the Interior Department kept only 20%; the I.R.S. is getting along with only 9% of its employees and the Environmental Protection Agency, the E.P.A, listed only 6% as essential. And who knows, the Department of Energy, a totally useless and non-performing agency, could have probably released all of their employees.
It seems to make sense that any federal government department that can continue to perform its essential functions with a one in five, one in ten or only one in eighty of its normal staff; must be a judged, to be unnecessarily bloated on a day to day basis. And some departments, such as the National Park Service are probably non-needed at all and everyone should just stay home and take important jobs in the private sector.
There are many unfortunate side effects of the government shutdown, but one of the benefits has been the way it has deflated long standing liberal conceit. One put into words by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi just last month when she said quote, "The cupboard is bare and there are not just no more cuts we can make to the federal budget".
This has long been one of liberalism favorite rhetorical tropes, claiming that cutting even the slightest bit of government would reduce our nation to a primitive state. Now however, we're living in Madam Pelosi's helscape and you know what? It's not really that much different, except for the fact that it's a considerably cheaper way to operate the federal government.
Let's hope the shutdown goes on long enough for more Americans to realize that.

Whenever I get sad about the end of Harry Potter…
Whenever I get sad about the end of Harry Potter, the end of a more then ten year journey full of magic and adventure, I eventually stop and realize that there is no reason to be sad about it all ending. Because even though the movies are done and there are no more books on the horizon, it isn't ending, how could it ever end.
Jo Rowling's books have taught me so much and now of that it's all coming to a close, all the memories and experiences I have from the books aren't going to vanish. The books aren't all being rounded up and burnt. The stories aren't ending, because for me they will always be here, and even though no other story may ever be as large as the Potter books, there are thousands, probably millions, of amazing stories each with their own message, their own soul, waiting to be discovered.
So I thank you JKR for everything, and I am so grateful to have been a part of this amazing fandom, to have lived in history, and to be able to walk forward and continue to share the stories you have given me.
"I solemnly swear to carry this story with me for the rest of my life."
And now I go forward to discover new things, new books, new friends, never forgetting all you have given me but not dwelling on what was. All good things must come to and end and this was a great thing, and I couldn't imagine a better end.
7 books, 8 movies, and countless hours spent dreaming of magic. It was real for me, and it always will be.

By now you certainly know that the Democrats have been suffering from a self-inflicted injury since their convention began in Charlotte on Tuesday. For the first time in many presidential election years, the word God was omitted from their platform. The platform also failed to acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Both of these breaks from Democrat Party tradition were reportedly ordered by Obama.
Then … another self-inflicted injury. According to reports, Obama ordered that God and Jerusalem be put back into the platform. That should be easy enough … just introduce an amendment and have the convention...

A Poetry Daily Prose Feature:
"Poetry is broken language. Even in its "prose" incarnations—proems, prose poems—when lineation is not formally observed, poetry works the break. It interrupts, truncates, burglarizes. Poetry ruptures and ameliorates. Hardly ever housebroken, it often acts as a breaker box for the incendiary currents coursing through us. Poems break hearts. They break the news, however difficult. Rarely garnering for their makers fame and fortune, poems may nonetheless embody—in their breaching and bridging of the large distances—a stroke of luck, a stroke of mercy."—Lisa Russ Spaar, Breaking Bad:The Outlaw Stylings of Brock-Broido, Cushman, and Wright

"The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires."
― William Arthur Ward
A funny thing happened to the UCLA men's basketball team on the way to the NCAA tournament–Head Coach Steve Alford decided that it was time for him to let everybody know that he's firmly in charge of the Bruins program. Back on February 27th, Alford suspended sophomore point guard/forward Kyle Anderson and sophomore guard Jordan Adams one game each for violating unspecified team rules. At the time of the suspensions, Anderson and Adams were the Bruins' top two scorers, and undoubtedly, their best two all-around players. They were also very much needed for the following game against the streaking Oregon Ducks, especially with Alford having typically only used an eight-man rotation (including Anderson and Adams) all season, and the Bruins still fighting for their eventual NCAA tournament seed.
I'm pretty sure that just about no one gave the Bruins a chance to beat the Ducks, even if they were playing at Pauley Pavilion. As may have been expected, the Bruins were down by 15 points early in the second half. But, there they were, swarming David Wear, after he had hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to tie the game at 71 at the end of regulation. The plucky short-handed Bruins managed to extend the game to a second overtime before ultimately falling to the Ducks 87-83.
The television cameras often found Anderson and Adams intently watching the game and enthusiastically cheering for their teammates. Whatever they may have thought of Alford suspending them, they certainly didn't seem to be pouting about it for the world to see. They both returned to face Oregon State several days later and helped lead the Bruins to a victory. The team went on to beat the Washington Huskies on the road before falling flat against Washington State to close out the regular season.
After the loss to Washington State, there were certainly some doubts about the mindset of the team heading into the Pac-12 Tournament. But those doubts were quickly erased when the Bruins crushed the Ducks–who had won eight games in a row–by 19 points to open the tournament. The Bruins proceeded to demolish Stanford by 25 points, which set them up for a showdown against the Arizona Wildcats in the championship game. Anderson and Adams took over against the Wildcats, with Anderson scoring 21 points, grabbing 15 rebounds, and dishing out 5 assists, and Adams scoring 19 points, grabbing 4 rebounds, and dishing out 4 assists. Adams also stood out with a late hustle play where he and Travis Wear both dove for a loose ball that UCLA ultimately recovered, and he also hit the go-ahead three-pointer with less than a minute to go in the second half.
The Bruins, and Anderson and Adams particularly, seemed really determined to beat the Wildcats in the championship game. There's really no way to tell if that determination will carry over into the NCAA Tournament. The Bruins were also cruising through last season's Pac-12 Tournament, gutting out a big win over the higher-ranked Arizona Wildcats, but fell to the Ducks in the championship game. The Bruins played as if they were heart-broken, against the Ducks, having lost Jordan Adams for the rest of the post-season to a broken foot–which occurred at the very end of the Arizona game. With the team apparently at full-strength entering the NCAA Tournament, and carrying the title of 'Pac-12 Champions' after defeating the #4-ranked Wildcats, the Bruins are poised to make a deep run this time around.
One can only speculate as to what ran through Steve Alford's head before he decided to suspend Anderson and Adams. It certainly wouldn't be a stretch, however, to assume that he must have wondered how the suspensions would affect the team heading into both the Pac-12 and NCAA tournaments, respectively. Since Anderson and Adams have returned, the Bruins have won five of six games, and are playing some of their best basketball of the season. The fact that Anderson and Adams have taken their roles as team leaders seriously and willed the Bruins to a Pac-12 Championship with first-rate performances against the Wildcats only tends to support the notion that Alford made the right call. With the Bruins opening up their tournament journey Friday night against Tulsa in San Diego, we're about to find out just how right Alford's call really was in creating a 'teaching moment'.
