I'm looking at TB Airpak to power a Votex cooling tube aka Personal Air Conditioner, 2500 BTU model. Anyone have the TB/Airpak with the factory cooler? How dry is the air it produces? Miller proclaims it removes 70% of the moisture. Is this dry enough for plasma cutting? Thanks- Ted

I frequently use my airpak for plasma and even spray painting, Never a drop of moisture and I dont even use a drier.
I get some water out of mine. It has the air drier in it.
For paint or plasma I use a water separator.
I have even painted with out the separator (farm stuff, not show).

My main reason for purchasing, was the idle adjustment... it's a basshead thing. Anyways, I always run 91~ octane in my vehicles and figured I'd try out the tune, no exhaust/intake mods, no go fast, just a 5.7L 91 octane tune and it really woke up the throttle response and noticeable power increase. Any mopar owner should be able to take advantage of this tuner and I highly recommend it. I do now run the MPG booster tune though until I mod.

Monday, February 23, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 23, 2004) -- Fresh off a nationally-televised victory over Fresno State in the ESPN Bracket Buster Saturday last weekend, the East Tennessee State University men's basketball team is preparing for its final home game of the season Tuesday night at 7 p.m. against longtime Southern Conference rival Chattanooga. This game was originally scheduled for Monday, Feb. 23, but was rescheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 24 to accomodate Fox Sports Net South, which will televise the game. The Buccaneers, who are now 23-4 overall, 14-0 in SoCon play, hold a program-best, 15-game winning streak and are looking to keep their perfect league mark intact against the Mocs. Due to high demand for tickets, fans are encouraged to call the ETSU ticket office at 423.439.5371 and pre-order their tickets. A large crowd is expected to honor seniors Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) and Jerald Fields (Gainesville, Fla.), who after winning four-straight SoCon North Division titles, will be making their final appearance at Memorial Center.

Kosher Poultry
|Chicken Marvelosa
By Norene Gilletz
This elegant chicken dish is marvelous for any special occasion, especially the Jewish High Holidays as it contains honey, wine, and dried fruit. This recipe is a triple blessing—it's easy, can be doubled for a large crowd, and can be prepared in advance. It's guaranteed to inspire rave reviews.
2 whole chickens (3 lb/1.4 kg each), cut into pieces
Rinse the chickens well and pat dry with paper towels. Trim the excess fat. Place the chickens in a large roasting pan sprayed with cooking spray. Season the chickens inside, outside, and under the skin with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic. Add the apricots, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes to the pan. (The dried apricots and sun-dried tomatoes will plump up during marinating and cooking.)
In a measuring cup, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, and olive oil. Drizzle evenly over the chicken mixture; mix well so that the chicken is thoroughly coated. Pour the wine around the chicken and add the bay leaves. Cover the pan and refrigerate for several hours or for as long as 2 days.
When the chicken is marinated, remove from the refrigerator, uncover, and bake in a 350°F oven for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until done.
Remove the bay leaves and discard. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken mixture to a serving platter. Drizzle with some of the pan juices and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Place the remaining pan juices in a gravy bowl, skim off the fat, and serve alongside the chicken.
Yield: 10 to 12 servings.
Keeps for up to 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator; reheats well. Freezes well for up to 4 months.
Chef's Secrets:
• Keep A-Breast of the Times: Use chicken breasts to lower the calorie, fat, and cholesterol content. Use 10 to 12 breasts; remove the skin either before or after cooking. Cooking time will be about an hour for chicken breasts on the bone. Boneless, skinless breasts will take about 35 to 45 minutes. Cook covered to prevent the chicken from drying out. One serving (without skin) contains 263 calories, 7.1 g fat (1.4 g saturated), and 73 mg cholesterol.1/2 hours, basting often. When done, the skin will be golden and the juices will run clear when pierced.

Update: BBC Will Play Clip Of 'Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead'
Originally published on Fri April 12, 2013 2:31 pm
Update at 11:50 a.m. ET. Radio 1 Will Play A Snippet:
There's word from NPR's Philip Reeves in London that BBC's Radio 1 now says its weekend Official Chart show will play "a clip in a journalistic environment" of "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead," which critics of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher pushed up the British charts this week after the Iron Lady's death.
The BBC has more:
"BBC Radio 1 controller Ben Cooper has said that a 'four or five' second clip of the Wizard of Oz song at the center of an anti-Margaret Thatcher campaign will be played on the Official Chart Show. Sales of 'Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead' have soared since the former Prime Minister's death on Monday, aged 87.
"Mr. Cooper called the decision 'a difficult compromise' and said he was 'stuck between a rock and a hard-place.' "
Our original post — "Thatcher Critics Make 'Ding Dong' No 1; Should BBC Play It?":
The death this week of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has provoked may words of praise — and many celebrations by those who did not admire the Iron Lady.
Among the things her critics have done is push "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead," from The Wizard of Oz, into the No. 1 spot on the U.K. singles chart. That, as The Associated Press writes, has created an issue for BBC Radio 1:
Should Radio 1 play the song this weekend on its Official Chart show, which as the name implies rounds up the hottest songs each week.
The Guardian reports that "the new BBC director general, Tony Hall, will have the final say." And it adds that:
"Hall told staff on Thursday that he personally thought the song and the accompanying social media campaign launched following Margaret Thatcher's death on Monday by people protesting against the former Conservative prime minister's 1980s policies was 'tasteless,' but stressed that the editorial independence of the BBC was sacrosanct."
It's possible, the Guardian reported earlier, that if the song is played "in what is thought to be a first for the BBC chart show, the corporation [may have] a Newsbeat reporter explain why a song from the 30s is charting to Radio 1's target audience of 16- to 24-year-olds."
This raises a question.
Note: That's just a question, not a scientific survey of public opinion. We'll keep the question open until midnight ET Friday.
Thatcher, as our Music Desk colleagues wrote earlier this week, had quite an effect on British music.

Department of Political Science
Understanding that active, engaged learning calls the mind to civic action, Wittenberg's Department of Political Science prepares students for lives of responsible social and civic leadership.
Students studying the science of politics, foreign and public policy, international relations, governmental structures and political parties can focus on one of four concentration areas: comparative politics, international relations, political theory and law, and American politics.
Through close faculty interaction, students develop the skills necessary to conduct political analyses; engage in critical evaluation of political issues, institutions, structures and processes; and understand the role of diversity in various political contexts. A variety of courses, internships and study abroad opportunities enable students to match their personal interests and academic and professional goals while gaining knowledge of human cultures and institutions, fostering a sense of social responsibility and practicing ethical civic leadership.
Integrating classroom theory with hands-on government experience, many students participate in unique internship programs such as the Local Government Management program in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and the Washington, D.C. semester, which enables students to intern on Capitol Hill, with the White House, major news organizations including Fox and CNN, political parties, interest groups, and the FBI. Students also benefit from local internship and independent study opportunities with the Hagen Center and area prosecutor's offices.

At the beginning of the season, the boss of the HEAD Speedoholics, Rainer Salzgeber, hoped that his racers this season could match that of the previous season. The facts speak for themselves. The season long World Cup has just finished with HEAD racers capturing the seven Globes, more than any other ski brand this winter. Add to this winning more Gold Medals than any other ski brand at the Garmisch World Championships and you have one word: SUCCESS.
HEAD racers won or placed on the podium in nine of the ten Alpine disciplines this season and scored more points than any other ski brand in the FIS Alpine World Cup Brand Ranking. The HEAD racing team made 66 podiums through the season with 22 of them being on the top step. Lindsey Vonn lead the way with eight wins. Also on the top step were Maria Riesch, Anja Paerson, Ted Ligety, Aksel Lund Svindal, Didier Cuche. Joining them on the podium through the season were: Lizz Goergl, Kjetil Jansrud, Stephan Keppler, Bode Miller and Anna Fenninger.
Maria Riesch finally captured the Overall. For the last two years she has been second behind Lindsey Vonn and the Overall is what every racer dreams of winning. With six race wins in four different disciplines, just Giant Slalom eluded her, this was a fantastic season for the German. The season was long and hard and with five races being cancelled due to the weather, Riesch scored points when it counted. An unexplained dip in confidence nearing the end of the season nearly allowed Lindsey Vonn to take the Overall but a fourth place in the last slalom of the season just edged her over the line. Early wins in North America gave Riesch the springboard for this successful season but her consistency across the board gave her the base for the Overall win. While the pressure built towards the end of the season, the fact Riesch was able to relax in the final slalom gave her the impetus to edge far enough ahead of Vonn and take the lead. Then the weather helped her! Had a fever not hit her during Garmisch, this could well have been an even more successful season. The Globe and two bronze medals is more than what some people win in a career.
For Lindsey Vonn the run in to the end of the season started with her trailing Maria Riesch by over 200 points. All was looking down but then you can never count this fighter out. Vonn was not going to give up her Overall Globe easily and from Are and Tarvisio, Vonn was the racer to beat. Lindsey was on a roll as the season progressed to its finale, she was in the mix having been so far off with just a few races to go. "I feel privileged to have been part of one of the most exciting World Cup Overall tussles," explained Vonn after the weather had, she felt, "ruined it for the fans." Vonn has already vowed to come back next season having worked harder during the off season. Injuries always strike at weird times and a head injury prior to the World Championships meant Lindsey was "happy" with her silver in the Downhill to add to her three small Globes in Downhill, Super G and Super Combined.
The World Cup may not have gone totally to plan for Lizz Goergl but with two World Championship Gold medals, this was an awesome season for her. Lizz opened the Championships by singing the theme tune for the Championships and twenty four hours later she was back on the podium as the Super G World Champion. By the Sunday she was back again, as a Double World Champion having taken the challenge to Lindsey Vonn, Maria Riesch and the rest and won the Downhill as well. Six podiums in the World Cup kept her challenge going in the Overall but fourth place was where she ended up. Second place in the Super Combined in Val d'Isere being the pick of her results for the season.
Anna Fenninger has promised much in the past and this season she made a Golden return on this promise at the World Championships in the Super Combined. Fenninger was in fourth after the Downhill section of the race and as she walked out of the finish area, you could see the determination in her eyes. The Slalom race was on the other side of town and Fenninger was on a mission. This was her day. This was the day when the promise shown as a Junior was delivered at the Senior World Championships. Two podiums, one each in Downhill and Super G, were the pick of her results in the World Cup but in Garmisch, in the Super Combined, she was on the top step and that was the highlight of her season.
Anja Paerson admitted at the beginning of the season that she was now skiing for fun. She had thought of retirement but she still loved ski racing so much that she was not ready to give it up. There were still things she wanted to do. And those things are called winning races and medals. In Garmisch, Anja won her seventeenth World and Olympic Championship medal in the Super Combined. In Tarvisio she won in the Downhill just days after what looked like a season ending knee injury in Are. This was her 42nd career World Cup win, more even than fellow HEAD racer Lindsey Vonn has won! Anja is still there and still looking to win races!
With two Globes to his name from the season, Didier Cuche could have decided to call time on his career. Already the oldest man to win on the World Cup, Cuche still enjoys his racing and has, he feels, a lot more to offer. Cuche won in Kitzbuehel with one of the most memorable and fascinating runs of all time: He had Kitzbuehel legends Franz Klammer and Stephan Eberharter drooling, poetry in motion some commentators described his run as. Didier now has four Downhill Globes and ranks second in the all time list to one Franz Klammer.
Ted Ligety started the season with the red bib as the defending World Cup Champion in Giant Slalom. Ted finished the season with it. Soelden was cancelled due to fog that would just not move as the second run was about to begin and then Ted went on a spree: A World Cup Giant Slalom race winning spree! Beaver Creek was the first time he had won at home; then came Val d'Isere where he won by over a second and to top the winning run he then won in Alta Badia, one of the classic Giant Slalom courses. Ted was in supreme form in Giant Slalom. Next year he plans to score more points in Super G and wants to recapture his form in Slalom for a crack at the Overall. The man is on a mission!
Aksel Lund Svindal is one of the most devastating all round skiers of his generation. You can never count him out of a race. As the only racer to defend his World Championship title in Garmisch, Aksel destroyed the rest of the field in the downhill section and then used his slalom skills to see the number one against his name in the finish. A true all round Champion! Aksel also won on the World Cup tour with victory in the Giant Slalom in Adelboden. Aksel spent much of the season testing skis whenever it would allow so that he is more prepared for next winter: "We do not get that much time to test skis in downhill so I try to do it on the training runs," Aksel explained in Chamonix.
And then there were also moments of true magic from the younger racers Kjetil Jansrud (Giant Slalom), Stephan Keppler (Super G in Val Gardena) and of course, how could one leave out Bode Miller when reviewing the season. Bode is a big race skier. He still has a burning desire to win and this was shown in Kitzbuehel. On any other day he would have won and it took a magical run by Cuche to dislodge him from the top spot. In Garmisch he so nearly confounded the critics and felt he had no chance having made too many errors in the downhill yet still held the lead for a long time from his early start number. Hans Olsson, Werner Heel and Johan Clarey all started to make inroads into the top ten on the world cup this season, Olsson's sixth place in Lenzerheide being the pick of the bunch.
The numbers only tell a small part of the story through the year. Success breads success and all of the athletes on the HEAD worked together to get the skis and boots working better and thus faster. This combination of athletes working together will see the fruits of their labours on the skis and boots available to those further down the scale. Aksel Lund Svindal spoke regularly about the need to be constantly testing kit and using all the downhill training runs to test, test and test more stuff. Ted Ligety and Kjetil Jansrud were also out there testing kit to make things go faster. Who better to test and perfect the skis and boots than World Cup race winners?
So now the World Cup is over for another season, the HEAD Roll of Honour from 2010 - 2011….

Mary Bodurtha of Stratford (pictured above, left, with her daughter, Vanessa), healed quickly after emergency gallbladder surgery at Bridgeport Hospital and felt strong enough to bake and decorate more than 200 cupcakes for her older daughter Jessica's September wedding. Story and recipe inside.
In this story
Late one night last May, exhausted from stomach upset and chattering with fever, Mary Bodurtha of Stratford knew she needed to get to the hospital. Earlier in the week, she thought she had the flu. But when she suddenly developed unbearable pain in her abdomen, she knew it had to be something much worse. She mustered the strength to alert her husband, who was up late working on his computer. "Ernie," she called, weakly, "you have to take me to the hospital right now."
In Bridgeport Hospital's Emergency Department, the staff took one look at Mary and jumped into action. A blood test began uncovering the mystery: her body's enzyme counts (enzymes are proteins that help cells do their jobs) were much higher than they should have been—a clue that what was causing Mary trouble was related to her gastrointestinal (digestive) system. "Normal liver enzyme levels are around 30. Mary's topped more than 300," says Gastroenterologist Andrew Bedford, MD, who took care of Mary that night. Her CT scan (special X-ray) results were most alarming. "Mary's bile duct—the tube that connects the gallbladder to the small intestine—had doubled in size," says Dr. Bedford. "This suggested that a gallstone was blocking a bile duct. That blockage was making her feel so sick—pain, fevers, chills and nausea. The source of the stone or stones was the gallbladder, which she needed to have removed (cholecystectomy), but we first had to deal with the blocking stones."
What are gallstones?
Gallstones can cause inflammation (swelling) in the gallbladder. The stones can also travel out of the gallbladder through a tube called the cystic duct and block the common bile duct—a tube leading to the small intestine. That blockage can cause extreme abdominal pain, vomiting, fever and confusion. Sometimes an infection can develop. Depending on the patient's condition, a doctor may remove the gallstones, prescribe antibiotics and/or recommend surgery to remove the gallbladder.
Gallstones can develop in anyone at any time. Some people can have gallstones for years and not realize it, passing off the pain as indigestion that just won't go away. Your doctor can recommend strategies that are right for you to decrease the risk.
Mary was whisked to a special procedure area so Dr. Bedford could perform a pre-surgical ERCP—endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography—to examine Mary's bile duct and remove any gallstones. Anesthesiologist Glen Kaiser, MD, administered an anesthetic to Mary so she would be comfortable during the procedure. Dr. Bedford carefully passed a long flexible tube, fitted with a tiny camera, down through the length of Mary's upper digestive tract and stomach until he could clearly see the bile duct and remove the stones. "It is extremely important to remove any gallstones or bits of stones from the bile duct prior to removing the gallbladder. Those stones can also block the drainage system of the liver or the pancreas, which have ducts in the same general area," Dr. Bedford says. "Using this thin scope with a miniature camera, I can clearly see the blocked duct and scoop out the stones."
After the ERCP, Surgeon Roselle Crombie, MD, who often cares for patients with gallbladder conditions in tandem with Dr. Bedford, introduced herself to Mary and Ernie. "The origin of Mary's pain was a clear indication that surgery was necessary," says Dr. Crombie. "We knew that she would feel relief as soon as the gallbladder was removed."
"Dr. Crombie started to talk about the gallbladder removal procedure, and I told her, 'Whatever it is, do it.' I just wanted to feel better," Mary remembers.
"Before, between and after the procedures, Dr. Crombie and Dr. Bedford kept us informed and explained everything that was happening with Mary," Ernie says. "They were very good at keeping me and our children at ease."
As soon as the anesthesia team, led by Anesthesiologist Mihaela Costin, MD, administered general anesthesia with breathing support for the surgery, Dr. Crombie was ready to remove Mary's gallbladder through tiny keyhole incisions (laparoscopically). "Laparoscopic surgery is ideal for gallbladder removal," says Dr. Crombie. "More than 90 percent of removals are done this way. Laparoscopic surgery has evolved significantly since introduced in 1990 and is now the standard of care."
Most people with gallstones have no severe symptoms until one blocks a duct.
If you experience these symptoms, contact your doctor. You may have a gallstone or gallbladder disease.
Seek medical attention right away if you have the following symptoms. You may have a gallstone blocking a bile duct.
In the operating room, Dr. Crombie made three tiny incisions on Mary's abdomen and a fourth through the navel (belly button). "The navel is a perfect distance from the gallbladder, making it an ideal entry to the abdomen. Plus, it is a scar we all already have," she explains. Dr. Crombie then inserted a thin, lighted tube fitted with a tiny video camera through one incision, and small surgical instruments through the others. Once she could clearly see the gallbladder on a video screen, she swiftly removed it through the belly button. The incisions were then carefully closed with tiny dissolvable stitches. Mary's operation took about 35 minutes.
"By the next morning, I felt 100 percent better," Mary exclaims. "The pain, nausea and fever were gone!" "It was good to see the color back in her cheeks," says Ernie. "Dr. Bedford and Dr. Crombie were just wonderful," Mary says. "They came to visit me the following day and answered all my questions."
Mary stayed in the hospital a second night to fully recover from her surgery. "The nurses were so kind to me and my family, and so helpful. They were funny, cheerful and upbeat, and liked to make me laugh. One even served me my cranberry juice with a paper umbrella! That little surprise really lifted my spirits," Mary says. "I have so much respect for nurses who take care of surgical patients."
Just three weeks after leaving the hospital, Mary felt well enough to vacation with Ernie on a pre-planned cruise to the Caribbean. She spent most days relaxing in a deck chair and enjoying the ocean air next to her husband. "It was perfect," Mary says. "And much better than recovering in my living room!"
Since the surgery, all of Mary's incisions have healed and she has been busy preparing for her daughter Jessica's fall wedding. Dress fittings and calligraphy have cheerfully occupied her time, as has baking. Mary offered to bake and decorate the special vegan cupcakes that will be served at Jessica's wedding (see recipe, next page). "I'm thrilled that my fast recovery has allowed me to participate in all of the preparations," Mary says. "I couldn't ask for anything more."
Mary's Vegan Cupcakes and Buttercream Frosting
For the Frosting:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder in a bowl. Add oil, vanilla, vinegar and water. Mix until combined, then beat at medium speed for 60 seconds or until smooth. Do not overbeat. Pour into 18-24 lined cupcake pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool before frosting and decorating.
For the Cupcakes:
Mix the vegan butter, vegetable shortening and vegan cream cheese until smooth. Beat in vanilla extract and almond extract. Turn off mixer. Add 2 cups powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon plain soy creamer. Beat at high speed until fluffy. Repeat twice. Frosting should be creamy and stiff and peaks should hold.

The Farm Table
The Farm Table in Bernardston, MA is opening November 8 for lunch, and then for dinner on November 12. I can't wait to read some reviews. They have an awesome menu, including gluten-free options. My husband and I are going there for Thanksgiving dinner. They have 3 seatings on Thanksgiving day. We went to their grand opening to check out the digs and they're very nice. Cozy and warm. I sure hope the food is as good as it sounds!
re: magiesmom
The candles are in a different building. They also have a 3-story Christmas barn. The restaurant is housed in the original home that stood on the farm. They've done extensive "green" renovations (you can read about it on their site I think, or on their facebook page) and also added another large dining room to the house. It's very nice inside with beautiful furnishing and two big fireplaces. There's a large bar that separates the two dining rooms and they have purchased a fancy coffee maker of which there are only a handful in the U.S. (I'm not a coffee drinker, but this would be important to some people!). If the food is good, it looks like a place I could return to over and over to try different things! It's possibly the most impressive menu I have seen anywhere around here. I will be able to report back after Thanksgiving, but hopefully some Chowhound will try it before then.
I really wanted to like this place. I've been twice and I have to say, so far I am underwhelmed. They haven't been open very long so maybe they will continue to improve. I like the atmosphere of the restaurant, I like the farm-to-table concept, and what's not to like about an $18,000 espresso machine (even though I don't drink coffee), but the service needs to improve and I think the recipes could be improved.
The first time my husband and I went we had the weekend brunch, and the second time we went for the Thanksgiving day meal. The fresh squeezed orange juice was delicious at the brunch and there were some other good aspects, but also some bad. I ordered a house salad ($5) but was given a Frisee Salad with apple, bacon and a poached egg on top ($11). The service was so slow that I knew if I sent it back I wouldn't get my salad before my entree, so my husband and I split it. It was delicious, but not what I ordered. For my entree I ordered the fried egg sandwich on brioche with cheddar and ham, but I got a fried egg with bacon on country white bread. It was good also, but not what I ordered. My husband ordered the Eggs Benedict, and while he thought it was okay, he said they chose a fancy ham that didn't go very well and he would have preferred Canadian bacon. He said the dish was not as good as what he can get at Silver Spoon, our local breakfast/lunch joint. I think the brunch cost us a little over $40 for one salad, two entrees, and two glasses of OJ. Not a very good deal.
The day we had brunch was a week before Thanksgiving and I had made reservations for Thanksgiving back in September. The couple dining at the table behind us had some complaints about the food and the service and they asked for the general manager, Ruben. When he finished talking to them I took advantage of his presence to ask him if they had their Thanksgiving menu yet. He said they did and he went off to get it. He came back with their regular menu which had been printed for people to take with them, shoved one at me and hurried off without waiting for me to tell him that was not what I wanted. He didn't seem sincere to me. The entire time he was talking to the people behind us he seemed to be trying to get away and didn't seem to really care what they were saying. He just kept thanking them for their feedback!
For the Thanksgiving meal they never were able to provide the menu prior to the event, which I thought was inexcusable. It cost $40 per person and included roasted vegetable bisque, a house salad, a choice of one of 4 or 5 entrees, predetermined side dishes and dessert. The bisque was delicious, as was the salad. We both ordered the turkey and it was okay but nothing special. The plate came with Brussels sprouts, pureed sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes with parsnips, wild and white rice with dried cherries, cranberry sauce, and a choice of one of 2 dressings. We weren't given the Brussels sprouts so I can't comment on them except to say they were missing and our plate had nothing green on it. The potato/parsnip mash was awful. I have been seeing recipes in cooking mags lately that use olive oil instead of butter and I had wondered how it would taste. Now I know, and I didn't have to ruin my own potatoes to find out! The pureed sweet potatoes were also pretty bad. The cranberry sauce was okay and I guess the rice was okay, but I would not have chosen rice as a side dish. I ordered Lemon Meringue pie for dessert and what I got was a lemon tart. It was tart and had absolutely nothing in common with Lemon Meringue pie! My husband asked for the apple pie and it was very cold, the apples were undercooked, and the crust was so tough you couldn't cut it with a fork. Overall the food bombed. I don't think you need to "improve" Thanksgiving fare. Mashed potatoes need cream and butter and sweet potatoes should be mashed, in a casserole, or candied. We didn't let the food ruin our day, but we won't be going back next year.
I hope others have a better experience. If enough people report a good experience, I might be inclined to try them again - after they've been open for awhile longer.
Silver Spoon Restaurant
73 Main St, Easthampton, MA 01027
It's been open long enough now, and Thanksgiving (a tough act) is over.
Has anyone been to The Farm Table recently? It does look good on paper, and a nurse at Cooley-Dickinson Hospital (Northampton) who lives up that way was singing its praises ---
Before shlepping up to Greenfield, I wondered if anyone has any recent reports?
re: BerkshireTsarina
I'm kind of surprised that there hasn't been more discussions on CH about it. The reviews are mixed on the other food sites, but they seem to get a pretty good overall rating. I'm not sure what to make of the people who post on the other sites. I have more trust in the people on CH for some reason. It seems to me that the people on CH are more passionate about food.
Anyway, driving up to Bernardston is a pretty nice outing and the food isn't terrible. I would probably be more inclined to go for brunch or lunch, than dinner, but I'm sure I will go back at some point. I hope more people will try it and share their experiences on CH.
Wish I had more helpful information.
I've been there for dinner, and while the food was good, I didn't find it terrifically remarkable. If I knew that I'd be in the area, I would consider going back. But a destination drive isn't really something I would go for.
The whole notion of gathering products from the area is, however, a laudable concept, and I give them a great deal of credit for that.
Interestingly, as JunieB said, I do recall some itemized ingredients (a very carefully curated menu) missing or replaced in our dinners (there were 5 of us), and while I didn't think it a big deal at the time, and perhaps a victim of small-batch purveyors, I could see why it might throw a wrench into the works.
Overall, on a scale of 1-10, I'd give them a 7-7.5. Not wow-worthy, but not a rip-off either. The staff seems pretty committed, and Ruben was exceedingly helpful. Hopefully this venture continues to get better with time.
re: Oaksbluff
That's really too bad. I see on facebook that their special events are always sold out, so I have to assume a lot of people are eating here. I was hoping my experience was because they were a new restaurant, but your experience sounds like it was pretty much the same as mine from nearly a year ago. I feel the same way, if I were in the area I might stop in for lunch or brunch, but it won't be a destination for me.

I-69 Lane Restrictions
Thursday, Friday Nights
FISHERS, Ind. – Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) contractors plan lane restrictions tonight and Friday night for traffic shifts and pavement milling as part of the Operation Indy Commute – I-69 added travel lanes and interchange improvement projects.
Rieth-Riley Construction, the state's contractor for the $11 million added travel lanes project, plans to mill pavement along the southbound median of I-69 between 96th Street (Exit 203) and 116th Street (Exit 205) tonight and Friday night. The milling will require a northbound left lane restriction on Thursday, May 30 and a southbound left lane restriction on Friday, May 31. Both restrictions are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. and expected to end by 6 a.m.
Milestone Contractors, the state's contractor for the $18 million interchange improvement project, plans to shift traffic lanes to the right between 116th Street and State Road 37 on Friday night. The shift, which will allow contractors more room for work in the median, requires alternating lane restrictions to modify lane markings. The right lane of northbound I-69 is expected to be restricted from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. The restriction will switch to the left lane from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. Saturday.

Kangaroo Jack
Best friends Charlie Carbone and Louis Fucci are both struggling to get ahead in life--but their approaches couldn't be more different. Louis is an optimist as well as a magnet for bad luck. Ever since he saved Charlie's life 20 years ago, Louis has embroiled them in a series of shady get-rich schemes, which has only compounded Charlie's reputation as the ultimate loser in the eyes of his intimidating stepfather, mob boss Sal Maggio. More skeptical and low profile than Louis, Charlie just wants to play by the rules, meet the right girl and make a success of his new business, which is tough with Sal skimming all the profits. But when Louis recruits Charlie to help him escort a truckload of stolen televisions across town, they inadvertently lead police straight to Sal's warehouse. Just when it looms like the guys might end up sleeping with the fishes, Sal gives them one last chance at redemption. All they have to do is deliver $50,000 cash to one of Sal's associates in the Australian Outback. But a kangaroo with a plan of his own gets a hold of the cash, forcing Charlie and Louis to track him across the outback before Sal's henchmen send them "down under" permanently.

William Jennings, President & CEO: August operating margin was slightly above budget. The ED is fully staffed and patient care treatments are ahead of budget. Surgery volume is up. Outpatient radiology revenue exceeds budget. Discharges are at plan and deliveries ahead of plan. Patient days remain low, due to reduced length of stay.
Year to date, net margin is ahead of budget. Cash on hand needs to increase before going to the bond market, where our rating remains excellent.
Maryellen Kosturko, RN, Senior Vice President, Patient Care Operations: The approach to shared governance will become more bottom-up and nursing-driven. The three health system chief nursing officers recommend a standardized, system-wide governance model. A consultant will help with the process.
Michael Ivy, MD, Senior Vice President, Chief Medical Officer: The search for a new chair of Medicine is ongoing, with a recommendation likely in November. Also, Medicare requires two midnights in the hospital to qualify as an inpatient, the first of which can be in the ED. All admits must have an admitting attending and a statement that admission is necessary. Michael Werdmann, MD, Senior Medical Director, IT: Allison Tighe, project facilitator/instructor, Library and Multimedia Services, was cited for registering more than 95 percent of staff for Epic training and Mark DeCapua, principal trainer, for being a superb resource. There was discussion about the process for medication reconciliation at discharge and theconsensus was that this is the same process already in place except it is now more formalized by the electronic medical record.
There was also discussion about how consultation requests through Epic have changed and how they can be improved; pending further discussion.
Peter Tortora, MD, President, Medical Staff: All medical staff members – both hospital-employed and community- based – should register online with Medicaid for OPR (order, prescribe, refer). Also, success of the Park Avenue site and the recruitment and nurturing of primary care practitioners will require the hospital's full participation and referrals from primary care.
Ryan O'Connell, MD, Vice President, Performance & Risk Management: Medicare core measures showed typical fluctuation, with the pneumonia composite score reaching the goal of 100 percent. On value-based purchasing measures, there were no colon or hysterectomy infections and no MICU UTIs in July, although there was a bump in SICU bloodstream infections.
ED door-to-doctor time was 42 minutes, with door-todoctor for admitted patients at 36 minutes. Left without being seen was below the goal of 2 percent. As expected, door-to-floor increased following Epic go-live.
Norman Roth, Executive Vice President & COO: West Tower and Schine roof projects are complete, and upgrading the electrical switchgear continues. Final paperwork for the Park Avenue project will be signed in mid-October. A formal groundbreaking ceremony will be held in late fall with projected completion in early 2016.

Above: How the U.S. Navy told its service members to prepare for Hurricane Sandy. Contains good advice everyone can use.
Hurricane Sandy left an indelible impression on the northeastern United States. The survival lessons it forced people to learn could be applied to nearly all natural disasters. Here are three key takeaways from the tragedy worth considering.
Survival Lesson #1: Don't Stay Behind
When an evacuation order is issued, get out.
Natural disasters need to be taken seriously. Choosing to "ride it out" is another term for "needlessly endangering lives." Those lives include first responders, families of first responders, neighbors influenced by the "ride it out" decision, family members, community leaders shepherding others out of harm's way and scores of other social networks of actual people.
This article from the New York Daily News details the experience of a family riding out Sandy in Breezy Point, Queens, New York:
The winds roared and the waves lifted off the bay in giant balled fists and smashed onto the golden shores of Breezy Point, Queens, where Jack Nacmias braced with his wife, adult kids and 96-year-old grandmother-in-law.
"Oh my God, I wish I had evacuated," he called to say around 8 p.m. Monday. "It's just insane here."
And then his transmission ended with the words "Holy s—!"
He called me again at dawn to say, "Actually, I wish I would have evacuated my family and stayed alone. There was a point there where it was so scary that I looked at my family and said, 'What have I done?' "
That thought came when he was in the cellar and all his "Anderson double-pane basement windows" shattered and breached "like the portholes in the Titanic, and water just gushed in so fast and so furious that my cellar began to fill up all around me. The fuse box sizzled. The power died. The water rose from every which way in the pitch dark. I backed up the stairs where Granny, and the family were and the water started following me up the stairs like a roaring monster."
That's a hard survival lesson to learn in-person. Don't.
Survival Lesson #2: You Need a Bug-Out Bag AND a Long-Term Survival Plan
When the evacuation order came down, prepared residents grabbed bug-out bags and hit the road. However, by definition these were only good for a few days.
That might have been enough to last until returning home. But what if that home isn't there? Or utilities won't come back for days or weeks? Not only that, what if another storm is on its way?
That's the reality many Sandy survivors continue to face. A nor'easter dumped snow over areas already impacted by Sandy.
The survival lesson here is that preparedness isn't an either/or proposition. It's not a matter of making either a quick bug-out bag or a full survival kit. It's being prepared for short- and long-term survival.
What that long-term survival plan looks like depends on your situation. Here are some tips for making a home disaster plan.
The Build the Perfect Bug-Out Bag book is also a key reference for short-term evacuations.

I give this camera the highest mark for quality. I was surprised how heavy it was, which is good, as it has lots of smart stuff inside and excellent optics. The pop up flash, which I control, is powerful and projects a good light. The lens quality is outstanding. Nice large view screen and easy to operate. This was an excellent buy! Pros: Solid, well built, Excellent optics, external flash, 14X Wide Optic Zoom which gives clear photos. Cons: Powered by two AA batteries. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great for the price Written By Jack, Texas on Thursday, May 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I like the small compact size and has many options to pick from. Nice size screen and not heavy. Pros: Small, light weight, simple to use. Cons: The only issue up to this point is the fact that some pics come out blurry, i have tried different settings and still there are always a few that come out blurry. If I can get pass this issue I think it will be ok. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No My first digital camera Written By Darlene, Benton, Calif. on Monday, April 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Simple to use , AA batteries, good vivid pictures & a reasonably low price were my main criteria in choosing a camera. So I gave up on one with a viewfinder. True - the sunlight reflects on my LCD screen I can't see a thing. But not to worry. I just point the camera & hope for the best. And I feel that the best is what I get. I use the Easy Auto. I've only had the camera a couple of weeks but I'm thrilled with it !! Pros: Great pictures & easy to operate. Cons: Not too big of a deal but a viewfinder would have made the camera extra, extra nice. Was this review helpful? Yes No "Easy-Peezy Camera Update!" Written By Mr Ed, Canton MI on Thursday, April 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Having a somewhat similar (but older and out-of-date) camera, I needed to update, and I have been very pleased with the results using my new camera! Although I changed brands, this camera is quite comfortable to use, especially for me, a non-professional! It's size is perfect, and the results seen are what I was hoping for! A good purchase!! Was this review helpful? Yes No Great camera for general use! Written By JimB, Merrill, WI on Sunday, February 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm a very amateur user, and am greatly pleased with this camera. It's easy to use - quite intuitive - with more features and capabilities than I had expected. I'm still learning... Cons: I would like to have had a printed manual rather than a disc. I end up printing a lot of it anyway. Was this review helpful?

Great Camera, Great Photos & Great Value!,Overall, I did noticed that the camera seemed to take its time focusing when zooming in and out. It uses AA alkaline batteries it goes through them at a very rapid pace . I really like this camera and would recommend it to others just bring extra batteries if your taking it on a all day outting.

Yes No Impressive camera Written By JonathanH, Clermont, FL on Monday, January 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my second Coolpix camera.

One reading of instruction booklet and off I go. Easy to use and all operations work nicely My Kodak Digital expired after just a few years. This Nikon is a great replacement and it is taking great ipctures. Was this review helpful? Yes No Nikon Coolpix L610 Review Written By HerbT, Houston, TX on Sunday, October 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I took the L610 with me on an organized tour of the NASA facility. It involved people and equipment photos with interior lighting and a lot of depth of field opportunity. The L610 is still a bit slower than my 35mm Nikon SLR and some ambient light shots showed bluring of people in motion. I was impressed with the autofocus capability and color rendition. Later the same night I put it in my pants pocket to get pictures of a Jethro Tull concert. I was more than pleased with cameras ability to focus in limited light situations. Most of my shots were with maximum zoom and using available stage lighting. I got several good shots that would not have been possible with my earlier model Nikon Coolpix camera. The disposable batteries that came with the camera did not last long. New lithium batteries are still going strong after 100+ photos. I wanted a simple point and shoot camera for people pictures and location shots. I am very pleased with the Nikon Coolpix L610 for ease of use and quality of photos. It is a good choice for the price range. Pros: An excellent point and shoot pocket camera with a good zoom range and speed of cycling. A definite step up from earlier generation Nikon pocket cameras. Cons: Not a stop action camera in limited light situations. Uses disposable batteries. It takes a few seconds from start up to the time when zoom capability is active. 39 out of 41 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The LCD monitor's wide-angle viewing area makes it easy to see and use. The LCD monitor has approximately 96% horizontal and vertical coverage in the shooting and playback modes. There is no separate viewfinder on the camera. Image Sensor: The Coolpix L610 features a 1/2.3" CMOS image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately 16.79-million pixels. The effective pixel count is 16.1-million. Optics: The Coolpix L610 digital camera uses a Nikkor glass zoom lens for superb image quality. Every aspect of the lens manufacturing process is controlled by Nikon. The Nikkor lens is designed for the specific camera and image sensor combination. The Coolpix L610 uses a 14x optical zoom, that is equivalent to a 25-350mm lens in 35mm photography. Coupled with the 2x digital zoom, the camera's total zoom capability is 28x. The angle of view is equivalent to that of approximately 700mm lens (35mm format). Vibration Reduction (VR) Image Stabilization: The Coolpix L610's Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Stabilization System effectively corrects blur that commonly occurs when shooting at slow shutter speeds or when zoomed in. The camera utilizes lens shift technology to reduce the effect of camera shake. Built-in Memory: The camera has a built-in 28 MB internal memory for storing still images and movies with sound. Images will be saved to the internal memory when no memory card is inserted. Using the internal memory, you can store approximately 4 images at the highest resolution, or 10 seconds of High Definition video. Recording Media: In addition to the built-in memory, images can be recorded onto SD, SDHC, or SDXC Memory cards. When an SD Memory card is inserted in the camera, the images are automatically recorded onto the card. The camera can support SD cards up to 2 GB, SDHC cards from 4 GB to 32 GB, and SDXC cards of 64 GB or 128 GB. Memory cards with a Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended for recording movies. Image Sizes: The Coolpix L610 records still images in JPEG format, as well as High Definition and Standard Definition movies in MOV format (Video: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264; Audio: LPCM stereo). You have a choice of seven still image size options and two movie options: Still Images: 16M: 4608 x 3456 High Quality 1:4 compression ratio 16M: 4608 x 3456 Standard Quality 1:8 compression ratio 8M: 3264 x 2448 4M: 2272 x 1704 2M: 1600 x 1200 VGA: 640 x 480 16:9 12M: 4608 x 2592 Movies (Frame Rate 30 fps): HD1080p: 1920 x 1080 High Quality (Bit rate: 18 Mbps) HD1080p: 1920 x 1080 Standard Quality (Bit rate: 12.3 Mbps) HD 720p: 1280 x 720--16:9 (Bit rate: 9 Mbps) iFrame 540: 960 x 540 (Bit Rate: 20.7 Mbps) VGA: 640 x 480--4:3 (Bit rate: 3 Mbps) Note: The maximum movie length for each movie is 29 minutes, and the maximum file size is 4 GB, regardless of the memory card capacity. 3D Photography: The camera can take 3D photos that are viewable on a 3D-compatible TV or monitor. Images are recorded at a size of 1920 x 1080. Recording a 3D image is a two-step process. After taking the initial picture (left eye image), a second picture (right eye image) is taken automatically by moving the camera horizontally to the right until the subject is aligned with the guide on the monitor. To play back 3D images, you will need to connect the camera to the TV via a 3D-compatible HDMI cable. Only the initial (left eye) image can be viewed in the camera's monitor. Shooting Modes: You can choose one of the following shooting modes: Easy Auto Mode: The camera automatically determines an appropriate shooting mode when you frame a picture, allowing you to easily take pictures with a shooting mode that suits the scene. Easy Auto Mode scenes include: Portrait, Landscape, Night Portrait, Night Landscape, Close-up, Backlighting, and Other Scenes. Auto Mode: A mode used for general shooting. In Auto Mode, you can apply the macro mode and exposure compensation when shooting pictures. You can choose a flash mode and activate the self-timer. Scene Mode: You can manually or automatically select a scene mode with settings optimized for the shooting situation: Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Night Portrait, Party/Indoor, Beach, Snow, Sunset, Dusk/Dawn, Night Landscape, Close Up, Food, Museum, Fireworks Show, Black & White Copy, Backlighting, Easy Panorama, Pet Portrait and 3D Photography.Special Effects Mode: Effects can be applied to images when shooting. You can choose from the following special effects: High Key, Low Key, Soft, and Selective Color. Smart Portrait: Using face priority to recognize human faces, the shutter is automatically released when a smile is detected. A skin softening option can smooth the skin tones in human faces. Continuous Shooting: You can set the camera to take one picture at a time or multiple images by selecting one of the following options: Single: The camera records one picture each time the shutter release button is pressed. Continuous: While the shutter-release button is held down, up to 4 pictures are taken at a rate of about 1.9 frames per second (fps) when image mode is set to 16M (4608 x 3456). Best Shot Selector: The BSS is recommended for situations in which inadvertent camera movement can produce blurred pictures, or when parts of the image are prone to under- or over-exposure. When BSS is on, the camera takes shots while the shutter-release button is pressed, to a maximum of ten. The images are compared and the sharpest picture is saved to the internal memory or memory card. Multi-Shot 16: Each time the shutter release button is pressed, the camera takes 16 consecutive "thumbnail" images at a rate of about 30 frames per second, and arranges them into a single 5M (2560 x 1920) image. Self-timer: The camera is equipped with a 10 second timer for self-portraits. Focus Area Selection: You can select between the following Focus Area Selection methods to determine where the camera focuses: Target Finding AF: When the camera detects the main subject, it focuses in that subject. When the subject is in focus, the focus area matches the size of the subject. When the camera detects a person's face, it focuses on it as a priority. Center: The camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame. Color Options: You can shoot still images with several color options: Standard color, Vivid color, Black-and-white, Sepia, and Cyanotype. Macro Mode: Macro mode is used for taking pictures of objects as close as 0.4". The flash may be unable to light entire subject at distances of less than 1 feet 8 inches. Focus Lock: The Focus Lock feature is used to focus on off-centered subjects in the frame while shooting in Center AF mode. AF-Assist Illuminator: If lighting is poor, the AF-assist illuminator may light to assist the focus operation when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. The illuminator has a range of about 6' 7" at the maximum wide-angle position and 3' 7" at the maximum telephoto position. You can turn this function on or off, as desired. Blink Warning Function: The Blink Warning function is available when you are shooting in Easy Auto, Portrait, or Night Portrait mode. When the camera detects that one or more human subjects may have blinked, the blink warning screen is displayed. The subject is framed by a yellow border, allowing you to check the picture and decide whether or not to take another picture. Exposure Compensation: You can alter the exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. You can adjust the exposure from -2.0 to +2.0 EV in 1/3 steps. ISO Settings: Sensitivity is the measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. The camera features ISO settings of Auto, 125, 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200. White Balance: You can set the White Balance to Auto, Daylight, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Cloudy, or Flash. You can also choose Preset Manual and use a neutral-colored object as a reference to set the white balance under unusual lighting conditions. Built-in Flash: The Coolpix L610 has a built-in Speedlite flash with a range of 1'-8" to 19' (Wide angle) and 5' to 10' (Telephoto). You can choose from the following flash modes: Auto: Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor. Auto with Red-eye Reduction: Pre-flash fires before main flash to reduce red-eye effect. Flash Off: Flash will not fire, even when lighting is poor. Fill Flash: Flash will fire whenever a picture is taken. Slow Sync: Auto flash combined with slow shutter speeds. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix: If the camera detects red-eye after the pre-flash has fired, advanced red-eye reduction processing is used to further reduce red-eye, slightly increasing the time required before the next picture can be taken. Play, Edit and Print Functions Playback Menu: The following options are available in the playback mode: Quick Retouch: You can compare the original photo side-by-side with one with enhanced contrast and saturation, then save the one you like best. D-Lighting: D-Lighting can be used to brighten dark or backlit subjects. While playing back an image, you can select the D-Lighting function, apply it, and save the corrected image without harming the properly exposed areas of the image. Skin Softening: The camera detects faces in images and creates a copy with softer facial skin tones. Filter Effects: Choose from five filter effects to apply to the recorded image: soft, selective color, cross screen, miniature effect, or painting. Print Order: You can select images to print and the number of copies for each. Slide Show: View pictures in the internal memory or on the memory card in an automatic slide show. If desired, you can loop the slideshow so it will continuously play. Maximum slide show duration is 30 minutes without operation. Protect: You can select images that you want to protect from accidental deletion. Even protected images can be erased if the camera's internal memory or memory card are formatted. Rotate Image: Recorded pictures can be rotated 90-degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise on the unit's LCD screen. Cropping: Create a copy containing only the portion visible in the monitor. Small Picture: You can create a small copy of a recorded image. The copy will be stored as a JPEG file with a compression ratio of 1:16. You can choose from the following sizes: 640 x 480 (suited to television playback), 320 x 240 (suited to display on web pages), or 160 x 120 (suitable for email attachments). Thumbnail Playback: During playback, you can view multiple thumbnail images (4, 9, or 16) at a time. While these "contact sheets" are displayed, you can use the multi-selector to highlight individual pictures. Highlighted pictures can be deleted, if desired. Calendar Display: This feature displays a calendar allowing you to select and view pictures taken on the same date. Playback Zoom: During playback, you can enlarge a still image 3x to 10x. Once the image is zoomed, you can use the multi-selector to scroll around to non-visible portions of the image. You can record a new picture of the cropped image by pressing the shutter button. Multi-Language Menu: You can choose from 31 different menu display languages including English, Spanish or French. Printing Pictures: You can print pictures stored in the internal memory or on the memory card by using the Print Set option in the playback menu. Using DPOF (Digital Print Order Form), you can designate which images to print, and how many copies to print. Pictures can be printed as followed: Printer or Photo Lab: insert the memory card into a printer, or take the memory card to a digital photo lab (images stored in the internal memory need to be transferred to a memory card prior to printing). PictBridge-compatible Printer: connect the camera to a PictBridge-compatible printer via USB cable Transferring to Computer: transfer the images to a computer before printing them via USB Battery Information Power Requirements: The Coolpix L610 is powered by two "AA" batteries.

Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs User-friendly camera Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 8/30/2012 10:46:00 AM I like cameras that help me take better pictures. I like the Coolpix L610. The 3D image option tells me exactly what I need to do to create a 3D image. The scene menu has settings for just about any situation I would need a camera for fireworks, beach, museum, party/indoor, sonw, dusk/dawn, etc. And it has a setting for food (for, you know, Twitter and stuff), pets, sports (for capturing fast action), and more. I tried using a many different settings as possible shooting test images in the Crutchfield Labs, and they all worked very well. While I could occasionally see instances where I might get a better image in manual mode (assuming I knew what parameters to tweak), the end results were more than adequate and great for snapping photos on the fly. What are the Labs? Sorry, the Nikon Coolpix L610 is no longer available. Looking for a similar item? Shop all Point-and-shoot Cameras Or, you can still...
