BROCKPORT – The Horton Township Supervisors voted unanimously to seal Bundy Settlement and Squab Hollow Roads during their regular meeting Wednesday night.
Authority members approved a purchase of one load of oil for approximately $16,000.
According to roadmaster Randy Carr, oil is estimated at $3.30 per gallon.
"When I first started here it was 28 cents a gallon," Carr said.
Carr also suggested other roads that could use some of the oil.
"There are a couple places I want to spot-treat," Carr said. "The piece on Oyster Run, there are a couple blowout spots. I want to oil them too before we lose them and any place else."

Hang tight!
Recipe by Chrissy
"This is my husband's favorite use of leftover hard boiled Easter eggs. Great comfort food!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale
Sort stores by
Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
hard-cooked eggs, peeled
1/4 cup
1/2 cup
all-purpose flour
3 cups
1 tablespoon
chicken bouillon granules
6 slices
white bread, lightly toasted
salt and white pepper to taste
I have been making (and eating) Creamed Egg for years. I never thought I'd see a recipe in print - I thought it was something my Mother made up! She made lots of vatiations, using browned hamburger, or browned sausage, or creamed dried beef instead of the hard boiled eggs. The basic sauce recipe is so versitile that you could creme anything! I bet some crumbled bacon would be delicious with the eggs in this recipe. This recipe is a little different from my Mother's in that it called for Chicken Boullion. I gave it a shot and got great reviews. I made it for breakfast yesterday for my two best friends and they loved it! They wanted the recipe. I directed them to allrecipes.com! Thanks for another great recipe (one I thought my Mom was the only one who knew how to make it)
I admit that this tastes great and is a good use for massive amounts of leftover hard-boiled eggs. However, it looks kind of like something the dog threw up. Definitely not a company dish. I honestly think adding a little mayonnaise to sliced eggs and making egg salad is the better option.
180 Ratings
I was just about to add this as a recipe of mine, but I did a search first and found this. My grandma used to make this for me all the time -- the morning after I would spend the night at her house. It's hands down my favorite breakfast item! My family makes it pretty much the same way as listed here, but this honestly looks better (we use less eggs and more butter per serving -- the rest is the same). The eggs are the best part, so I find my rating to be valid, I would give my own recipe 4 stars. I like the idea another reviewer to put crumbled sausage in this. My GOSH! That would be heavenly! For those of you who are questioning whether or not to try this: it sounds a lot more weird than it really is. I have yet to make this for someone and have them not like it. This is a classic breakfast dish in my family that's been made for over 40 years! And so well loved that we've all memorized the recipe.
I have been eating and making this dish for over 50 years. My mom made this every Easter, and called it "Goldenrod Eggs" because of the sprinkled yolks over the creamed egg mixture. We add a pinch of dry mustard to our version.
This is one of my go-to recipes for my
husband's bad days. I made this for him when we first got together and he's still raving about it.
The only thing I do different is fry up
a pound of ground sausage and use the
grease from the sausage, with a little
butter, to make the milk gravy. Then,
I don't need to add bouillion. Just
a little pepper and Tabasco. Then, I add
in the eggs.
Really good for a hangover.
Great Recipe! My grandmother taught me a version of this, we chop the whole egg, no smashing the yolks seperately, add 1-2 tsp of worchestershire sauce, salt to taste, 1 med. onion diced fine and fried until soften but not brown (at the beginning of the recipe, makes a flavorful sauce base). When I was about 10 and just learning to cook, my grandmother told me to start the peas one day when we were making this for lunch...I thought she meant to put the peas in the sauce with the eggs...it was a happy accident, now if this is served in my house for lunch or a quick supper, we always add peas and some parsley, and you have a different twist on this classic! Isn't it interesting, I am from western canada and here it is a sauce, my husband is from eastern canada and there the same recipe is a gravy! I was interested to see that phenom. here too.
Time-saving secret and tips:
Since a child, mother patiently sturred the heating milk and flower to thicken. Forget it! All trained chefs know to heat the milk to just below a boil in microwave or on stove while preparing the white roux (flour and butter).
Proportions for cream sauce are 2 tablespoons each butter and flour per cup of liquid. Cook white roux over medium heat 3 minutes stirring with a whisk. Do not brown the roux, as this will destroy the thickening potential. Add the heated liquid (milk for this recipe) all at once and whisk briskly for perfectly smooth sauce in less than a minute.
I use two hard-boiled eggs per cup of sauce cut two directions in an egg slicer to stir into the sauce. Salt and fresh ground white pepper to taste
Option 1 - reserve one yoke to press through tea strainer for a garnish. Add chopped fresh parsley and a dash of paprika.
Option 2 - add 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder per cup of sauce.
Option 3 - Serve over fresh baked buttermilk biscuits split, buttered and toasted under the broiler. (Good buttermilk biscuit recipe on this site.)
Caution: Do not introduce saliva into starch sauces with the tasting spoon. Enzympes digest (break down) starches and can cause watery sauce, particularly with cornstarch.
this was delicious. I made it for a day when I knew I would have to get dinner on the table in a hurry, boiled the eggs the day before and then threw the rest together that night. My only suggestion is to make sure that you add the milk slowly and give it a good chance to thicken. This would be just as good (probably better) for breakfast but what can I say, if it's easy and it's tasty, it's dinner in our house!

- FAQs
Using Your ONID
ONID has a lot of powerful features, and is tied to many aspects of campus life.
How do I sign in to ONID?
Most of the student online resources at Oregon State use the ONID credentials. This includes Blackboard, ONID Webmail, Online Services, and the ONID settings page.
After completing the sign up for ONID, the last page will display your ONID Username. This generally takes the form of your last name followed by the first letter of your first name, but will vary depending on the length of your name, and if you have a common name.
When signing in with your ONID, make sure and only use your ONID username, and not your full email. For example, if your name is 'John Doe', and your ONID username is 'doej', you would use 'doej' as the username whenever signing in. You will have problems signing in if you try and use your student ID number (931-XXX-XXX). Your password will be the same one you created when registering for ONID.
Here are some common areas you will use your ONID account as a login:
- ONID Email at Google Apps for OSU - Access your email
- Blackboard - Information and documents for your classes
- Online Services - Class registration and records for students
- ONID Settings - Main page where you can manage mail forwarding, spam, and other settings for your ONID account
How do I manage my ONID Class Groups?
As an instructor, you can visit lists.oregonstate.edu/classgroups/ to view, modify, and manage your Class Groups.
How do I change my ONID Username?
ONID accounts are created for incoming freshmen, and new faculty members. In the course of four (or more!) years with Oregon State, it is quite common for account changes to be required. If you are in need of changing your ONID username, read more on our Name Changes page.
How does ONID printing work?
To recover the costs of wasted paper, Information Services implemented a system that charges students for basic printing.
For some brief tips on how to print conservatively, please refer to this URL: http://osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/computing/printtips.htm
Printing on campus breaks down into two categories. Click on their respective links to access up to date policy information:
- Students printing at any SCF computer lab: oregonstate.edu/is/learning-technologies/printing-onid-printing/printing-faq
- Students printing at the library: http://osulibrary.oregonstate.edu/computing/prinfact.htm
Printing policies in college-specific labs also vary. See the lab consultant or college home page for more details.
Details for how to view your Printing history can by found on the MyONID page.
What about ONID web services?
With ONID, you can create, maintain, and control a personal website hosted right on Oregon State servers! Oregon State now has 2GB (per user) of space that can be used for blogging, forums, galleries, or even coursework. These sites are hosted at people.oregonstate.edu/
How do I publish a website?
Creating a website on the ONID web servers is a fairly straightforward (albeit technical) process, and we have outlined what to do on our publishing Your Web Site page.
How do I access the ONID Shell?
ONID has provided a shell server with which to connect, so that students can have some hands on experience with Unix without having to create their own Unix computer. Again, this is a fairly technical topic, so we have outlined the process on our Shell/Unix page.
What kind of traffic does ONID get?
While this is a difficult question to answer, as it changes from day to day, ONID has a fully detailed view of of the server statistics, ranging from what domains lead to Oregon State, what browsers people are using, and much more. If you're interested in any kind of technical server traffic, check out ONID's Web Statistics.

Goals: Voyager 1 and 2 were designed to take advantage of a rare planetary alignment to explore the outer solar system. Voyager 2 targeted Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Like it's sister spacecraft, Voyager 2 also was designed to study the edge of our solar system beyond the planets.
Accomplishments: Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to study all four of the solar system's giant planets at close range. It is now exploring the outermost reaches of where the solar wind and the sun's magnetic field dominate space. In September 2007, it crossed the termination shock (where the speed of the solar wind drops below the speed of sound) at 84 AU (about 13 billion km from the sun, more than twice the distance to Pluto). Since then, Voyager 1 has been operating in the heliosheath environment, a region about 40 to 50 AU (3.7 billion to 4.7 billion km) thick where the solar wind mixes with the interstellar wind.

Fitness Challenge
Stair climbing is a great sport that improves the fitness level of each participant and burns more calories than walking or running. To climb successfully, the American Lung Association strongly urges all participants to train before embarking on the ascent.
To help you prepare, please contact your climb event manager for information about exercises and training plans to help you do your best. Below are a few tips to get you started:
Always warm up your muscles and stretch before you begin.

A bra is like a best friend, strong, supportive and something – or someone – that you're totally comfortable with. That's actually why we name our bras after girls, they support your girls just like a bestie would and we offer so many different options because every body is totally unique!
Let's start with the pushup bras. Make a statement or just add a bit of extra perk with fits that range in push level from perky to double whoa! If you're looking for that extra boost try Drew on for size. But if you want just a bit more perk try Bridget. Looking for a pushup with a nice natural feel? Nina Pushup bra is the one for you! She's got special air & foam padding that feels natural to the touch.
If you're more into a natural shape and size, we have a wide selection of lightly lined and unlined bras that will show off the real you. Dare to wear deep V-neck and scoop neck t-shirts with demi bra styles like Hannah, Blakely or Daisy. Or keep it simple and comfy with our selection of lace bralettes and bandeaus.
And if you have tricky outfit challenges like halter tops, racerbacks or strapless dress – we have a wide assortment of multi-way bras in both lightly lined and pushup styles. Try out Maddie Multi-Way, Audrey or Daisy Bandeau. And no outfit is too challenging with our collection of bra accessories like strap converters, push-up lifts, bare backless bras and more!

FDA user fees charged to pharmaceutical and device companies are expected to increase by about $3.2 B in the 2013-2017 time period. This represents a 103% increase over 2008-2012 fees. Over half of the money will come from new user fees on generic drugs and biosimilars, also referred to as follow-on biologics. While the fees on branded prescription drugs and biologics track closely with those in the 2007 re-authorization, user fees for medical devices more than double in FDASIA.

TMI Too Much Interference Written By Anonymous, Chicago Suburbs, IL on Saturday, February 01, 2014 This may have more to do with the souce devices, but I am getting hum from the two devices mini-stereos/ modern boomboxes I tried, and cannot get this to sound clean. The other reviewers say this is great, so I may have to use this one the bigger home theater stereo. Pros: Can swap in your car unit easily Cons: Interference on select devices Was this review helpful? Yes No Home Kit does the job Written By MikeH, Milton, FL on Thursday, January 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Hooked this up to my stereo and put the antenna on window sill and "voila". Speakers from stereo mounted on outside wall in back yard. Sirius music in hot tub, pool, etc. Nice!

Yes No Sirius setup no problem Written By carboni, cherry hill on Saturday, February 12, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) bought a sportster 5 radio for my wife's car at Christmas . She loved it wanted to listen to it at home. Knew of Crutchfield's reputation for excellent service. Purchased it received it in a middle of a snow storm, after a quick read of instructions, set up was no problem. Within 10 minutes had sirius radio at home, works great, wife was very happy, thank you Crutchfield. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No SIRIUS SUPH1 Universal Home Kit Written By BOBL, Elkridge, Md on Monday, February 07, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This accessory kit work great with the Sportster 5. I play using the aux input of my Bose Wave radio. I also bought the external home kit at the same time believing I may need it because of fair to poor radio reception in my area. I actually only needed to use the included indoor antenna. I placed it on top of the kitchen cabinets next to a window. It picks up the signal very well. The only problem I have found with reception is when using the microwave oven across from the antenna. Only a minor problem. Have not had chance to install the vehicle antenna adapter yet. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By Dave V, Kansas City Mo. on Tuesday, February 01, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This home kit was a great alternative to spending money for a Sirius home tuner. Simple setup, easy to swap my Starmate from there to the car and back. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Accessory Written By Tom, Avon, MN on Saturday, August 07, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to set up and easy to use. This home dock makes it very easy to listen to Sirius Radio with virtually any home stereo system, bookshelf system, boom box, powered speakers, etc. that has audio/aux inputs. A great accessory to use your Sirius radio in the home. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Crutchfield sales and support again did an amazing job getting this product to me in three business days with the free shipping. This was 5-7 days faster than advertised. This unit is simple to set up and use. Once set up, bring the PnP unit in from the car, place on the dock and press the power button. Couldn't be any easier. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Happy Fatherday Written By Mike, Langhorne PA on Wednesday, July 01, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought a satellite radio for my father who is 84 year old. Fatherday, I was hoping to get him something different to listen to at home. Well you got me there, hook line and sinker ! It won't work in there house and I've called and spoke with the technical support and they told me I can return it. My dad wants me to install it in the car and I can't just say I bought it for you to listen in the house. The reason I bought it was to keep Mom and Dad off the road at there age. 1 out of 22 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Easy and awesome Written By femcadder, New Hampshire on Tuesday, November 04, 2008 GREAT! Take the Sportster out of the car, bring it to this, plug it into the radio, put the antenna in the window sill, done! Sounds great in my home stereo and everything! GREAT price! 4 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No What a great addition and value!! Written By Michael, Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Friday, October 03, 2008 I'd really been enjoying Sirius radio in my car and opted to purchase the SIRIUS SUPH1 Universal Home Kit. Installation was simple especially when you read the instructions about making sure the antenna has an unobstructed view of the sky/satellites just as stated in the website for the system. I used the signal strength meter on the radio to confirm where I should mount the antenna and when it was all said and done had the strongest signal possible without having to use the antenna extension cable. We really enjoy listening to all the oldies and the goodies. Great value. Thanks. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Tim Written By Tim, Atlanta, GA on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This dock is very similar to the car dock except it is designed to sit on a flat surface. It works, but it is so light that if you unplug your receiver the cords will pull it off the shelf. I had to secure the cords so this didn't happen every time. The antenna supplied is lame at best. If you live in the south and have your equipment on a north facing wall you will be fine. Set the antenna in the window and you are done. My equipment is on the south wall and there is no reception. I had to put it out doors on a pole about 15 feet from the house so that the antenna could see the northern sky over Michigan which is about where the satellite orbits. Oddly, my car antenna got fair reception while inside of the house. The antenna that comes with the home kit is also requires aiming unlike the car antenna. I was surprised at the difference. I will be upgrading to one of the outdoor antenna kits very soon so I can get rid of the pole in the middle of my backyard. Other than a weak antenna and a light dock, the product seems to work as expected. I just think they could have done a little better is all. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great recommendation from Crutchfield Written By Dave, Mechanicsville, VA on Friday, August 22, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The helpful salesman at Crutchfield suggested this for our Sirius Starmate 4. It works great. The stand makes it easy to plug it in to our stereo and the antenna has excellent reception and ample cord to place it where it's needed. The stand needs a little more weight to keep the cords from pushing it around but that's my only complaint. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No GREAT PRODUCT Written By JEAN, BLACKWOOD, NJ on Sunday, April 06, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) VERY GOOD PRODUCT WORKS GREAT JUST LIKE IT DOES IN MY CAR AND I GET TO HEAR IT IN THE HOUSE. WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE. GOOD RECEPTION. Was this review helpful? Yes No It might work if... Written By Rebecca, SW, VA on Thursday, February 07, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I live pretty far off in the county so it's hard to find a good spot to mount the antenna without having cables running everywhere. I was hoping to locate the antenna in a window, but now I think the only way is to mount it outside so there are no obstacles obstructing the signal. I'm giving this an average rating because the description leads you to believe setup is a breeze. Although my situation may be somewhat unique, I'm going to have to buy a wireless signal repeater and various other items to get this to finally work properly. Was this review helpful? Yes No It works Written By Glenn, Georgia on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It is the only choice you have for a home kit. Was this review helpful? Yes No Works like it should but doesn't come with an extra remote control Written By R. Alan, Birmingham, Alabama on Thursday, August 24, 2006 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought the cradle after having the Sportster 4 installed in my automobile, so I could listen in my office. I was able to get a good signal by placing the antenna next to the window in my office. I connected the audio output to a pair of Bose MediaMate computer speakers, which in my opinion are an outstanding value and sound better than anything I have ever seen for their size and price. The dual inputs allow me to connect both my computer and the Sirius radio to it, then listen to both simultaneously. My only gripe about the Home Kit is that another remote is not provided. I wanted to leave one in the car and use another one in my office (to avoid having to move both the radio and the remote back and forth). I finally was able to order an extra remote. Anyway, the Sirius Sportster radio sounds great in my office played through the Bose speakers. Highly recommended. 65 out of 73 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Del. Curt Anderson on Thursday introduced a bill that would legalize the recreational use of marijuana in Maryland, mirroring measures passed by referendum last year in Colorado and Washington.
The bill would allow Marylanders 21 and older to possess one ounce or less of marijuana, and to grow three or fewer plants in their homes. An excise tax of $50 per ounce would be collected by the state under the proposal.
Plants grown at home would be required to have a state-issued zip tie attached. Each zip tie would cost $100 and be valid for one year.
Under the bill, smoking marijuana in public would be prohibited, as would driving while under the influence of marijuana.
A portion of the revenue from regulating marijuana would go toward alcohol, tobacco and drug treatment. The marijuana trade would be regulated by the state comptroller's office.
The bill introduced by Anderson (D-Dist. 43) of Baltimore also provides for the creation of a 12-member oversight committee.
Maryland traditionally has lagged behind other progressive states when it comes to drug policy, still having not legalized medical marijuana, as 18 states and Washington, D.C., have. However, Maryland does allow a doctor's prescription as an affirmative defense in court.
"The issue always comes down to the fact that it's a federally controlled dangerous substance," said House Speaker Michael E. Busch (D-Dist. 30) of Annapolis. "How do you regulate it, sell it, transport it and everything?"
Dan Riffle, deputy director of government relations for the Marijuana Policy Project, a Washington, D.C.-based organization that advocates for marijuana policy reform, called on Maryland legislators to "once again make prohibition a thing of the past."
"It is time for a new, more sensible approach to marijuana in Maryland, and that is what this bill proposes," Riffle said in a statement.

The F-35 Integrated Test Force expanded their aircraft inventory Mar. 5 with the arrival of BF-17, which is the short takeoff and vertical landing variant of the F-35 Lightning II and is operated by the Marine Corps.
The aircraft arrived from Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., and will remain at Edwards to conduct mission system testing throughout the System Development and Demonstration phase. Testing at Edwards will play a critical role in reaching the 2014 initial operational capability for the Marines.
"Edwards is home for mission systems testing on the F-35. BF-17 adds a different element to our missions fleet. The STOVL variant has some unique features and requires different maintenance and support equipment. You also fly the aircraft differently. We're excited to have the aircraft here, where it will stay until the end of the testing when we give it back to the Marine Corps," said Brian O'Melia, BF-17 lead flight test engineer.
While the F-35B undergoes mission systems testing, the F-35 ITF does not anticipate utilizing the aircraft's STOVL capability during normal flight operations. However, a landing pad was built between the runway and Taxiway B in case the aircraft experiences an in-flight emergency.
During the aircraft's time at Edwards, Air Force pilots will also have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the F-35B and expand their knowledge base of the fifth-generation fighter.
"This is a great opportunity to get Air Force pilots trained on the B-model differences. It's great to have multiple variants of the F-35 here because the test pilots get broad experience that will help them throughout their careers with new unfamiliar aircraft. We want them to have as much experience as possible," said Col. Roderick L. Cregier, Edwards F-35 program manager.
After the long-awaited arrival of BF-17, the F-35 ITF is fully prepared to begin testing with modifications to the aircraft are currently underway.
"We have been preparing for a long time and the arrival of BF-17 will allow us to increase testing for the JSF Program Office. The aircraft was scheduled to arrive in January so we're excited to now integrate this aircraft into our test fleet. We have started modifications to make it the first F-35B model to fly with Block 2B software, so the team is already taking great advantage of the aircraft," said Lt. Col. George Schwartz, Edwards Government ITF director.
With the successful arrival of BF-17, the F-35 ITF looks forward to testing an additional variant of F-35 and eventually welcoming a third with the Navy's C-model, carrier variant.
"For us, it's also significant to have two F-35 variants here and we look forward to eventually having the C-model here as well. Our team is fully integrated with members from the Air Force, Navy, and USMC, along with eight partner countries and this level of joint testing is unprecedented," said Schwartz.
"We will eventually be conducting mission systems testing on all three F-35 variants. Members of the ITF are making an enormous contribution to the warfighting capabilities for the U.S. services and eight allies that ultimately provide the combat capability for 2,500 aircraft. This is a great place to be."

I was quite shocked (I didn't know) at some of the people on this list that passed away this past year......
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
One they left off was Jonathan Frid. My wife was reading me this list last night and couldn't believe they left him off. Since she was a Dark Shadows fan from way back she would notice that one.
Reds Fan Since 1971
I'm usually surprised to see deaths of people I thought were already dead.
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
The other day my buddy said he was looking forward to watching Dick Clark on New Year's Eve. I looked at him and said "Are they gonna do a Weekend At Bernie's thingy, because he died."
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
Forgot about Collins. I didn't know he had died until the last couple of weeks until my wife mentioned it.

Maurice Sendak is one I just assumed had been dead for many years.

Should technology (such as cell phones, video games, iPods, etc.), be allowed in camps?
I volunteer at a sports Summer camp, and there has been a recent ban in technology. Of course, the kids (ages range from 6-14) complain. But I personally believe in the concept that if kids can't enjoy the outdoors, play ground, etc. like before, who will? As we all know, technology has become a huge part in our society. But how far is too far? I know there are different types of camps, but I'm referring to sports and nature camps, mostly.
I want to hear everyone's personal opinion. :) Whether this ban is right or wrong. Whether this ban is positive or negative. Whether each camp in general should follow these guidelines when it comes to technology.
Aug 12 2011: Back when I organised (nature) summer camps, we used to take away watches and phones and give them back at the end of the camp.
The reason was to make them not watch the time all the time (so we could shift it, to have games after dark).
We did give them a phone when they went out hiking (in the event something bad happened, as emergency), sometimes putting them in a sealed bag, so we could check if it was unopened when they came back.
On the other hand, the use of technology can enhance games and sports (modern versions of hide and seek; giving new instructions during a game, or use it as a strategic communication device they might want to aquire during the game).
Other ways to deal with such devices is discouraging the kids to take it with them, as they can get damaged and can not be recharged (not many sockets in nature, are there?)
In short: let the organizers decide whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages... But don't make strict rules about it.
Aug 15 2011: Hey Christophe! I agree that not being controlling in this rule is very important, but I do believe that if you do decide to enforce such rules, you need to be firm and strong with your decision. I don't have a problem if kids use their cell phones every once in a while. But when it becomes a complete habit that you don't even look up once, that's where I get concerned. Of course, everyone has their own opinion to this, but I believe that we need to find a time to where we can separate nature and technology. I think it'll be so refreshing and fascinating when we open children's minds to what they truly have been indirectly missing just because of some electronics. Thanks for commenting :)Aug 12 2011: Dear Ashley
I experienced it. it so good. you will feel pure peace.
Aug 15 2011: Hey Mojtaba! I'm very glad to hear that! I want to know when, where, how, and why the feeling brought you pure peace. :) Thanks for commenting!
Aug 15 2011: Hi my friend
when: about 4 (or more) years ago . for 1 week
with : my friend (10 or more) (all male).... and you should better try it with your female friend
where : in the jungle
how : without any electrical instrument (just food and something for sleep) of course we had light and the climate was so nice that we didn't need heater or cooler..we played football ,volleyball and any teamwork game instead of computer games and we had some masters , so we had discussion too . we were accommodate with nature and I think if we used something like mobile we couldn't felt the real peace because i experienced that too. dear Ashley the new world order allow you to life in its way , break the borders and think about the GOD.
Aug 16 2011: Thank you so much, Mojtaba. That was very enlightening. Thanks for commenting.Aug 11 2011: Hey,Ashley, I need to say that we don't know actually the reasons behind banning those technologies? is it because those things could be distractions in their life in the camps?
Aug 15 2011: Hey Yan! I honestly do believe that those can be complete distractions. Like William said before, although you can use these gadgets for educational purposes, a main reason why they use them usually points towards noneducational purposes. I just feel like if it's becoming difficult to differentiate how, why, and where to use your electronics or not, it's a problem. Thank you for commenting!Aug 10 2011: Well I don't think it wins them over! However, I think it does help them get a new experience and show them that they can have fun without it.
Aug 11 2011: Hey, Rachel. Exactly. And hopefully, in most cases, they realize that they don't need electronics or any type of technology to keep them occupied or satisfied. That maybe they can ooze into the idea that some outdoor activities that they have at my summer camp, for example, can create more joyous memories of childhood than always being on their cell phones. Thanks for commenting!Aug 10 2011: My question is, by banning the electronics will the kids who would have been distracted be less likely to be distracted without the electronics?
I am not sure. Personally I don't like to tell folks what they can't do, I would rather spend time telling the kids what we will do (hike, fish, swim, play).
I would have approached it by using those devices to advance the discussion of nature (download a compass or other nature related apps to help with activities and such).
Aug 11 2011: Hey, William. In my personal experience in dealing with kids, they become less distracted without the electronics. I see where you are coming from though. Maybe it all just depends where exactly you are. The setting and environment plays a mega role in whether they feel the need to be on their electronics all the time, or not. And I believe that encouraging them to download apps, etc. on nature for the benefit of activities or discussions could only go so far with some kids. Of course, this all depends on the age of the kids as well. Thanks for commenting!

Charles County police are looking for someone who possibly had a handgun on a community college campus in La Plata Monday night.
Based on preliminary information from the Charles County Sheriff's Office, shortly before 8 p.m. Nov. 18, a group of people appeared to be arguing in a lounge area of one of the buildings on the College of Southern Maryland's La Plata Campus. An advisory message from CSM reported the man was seen around the Building and Industry building at the campus.
A security officer at the school who was monitoring surveillance cameras told investigators he thought he saw a gun but wasn't sure, officers reported.
Sheriff's office spokeswoman Diane Richardson said the person thought to have had the gun left the area prior to police arriving. The campus was initially put on lockdown status for about an hour and police searched the area but did not find anything.
Richardson said the lockdown was lifted and police continue to investigate to identify the suspect.

The week has flown by again, and yet I don't feel quite caught up. It was a productive week however. There was a lot of client work, and I wrapped up the final touches on a new web design project that is being coded by a little css-code-fairy, as we speak. The project will be live by next week, just in time for me to pack my bags, and fly to New Mexico for a whirlwind tour-lecture-Skill Exchange-work trip. I'll be visiting Santa Fe and Las Vegas, checking out Parachute Factory, and hopefully working through a long list of recommendations from the lovely lady behind Stitch and Hammer.
Early next week I'll be sharing our very first Skill Exchange video, a video project that has been months in the making. With help from many friends and contributors, I am excited to finally share it. If one more day of teasing this video release is just too much for you, just sign up for the Skill Exchange newsletter. Newsletter subscribers are going to get a sneak peek of the video a day earlier than the rest, in addition to other perks like early ticket releases, and adorably brief messages from Skill Exchange. I kid, but mostly, I promise not to send more than a handful of newsletters, every few months.
And, last but not least, I've got something to admit. Over the weekend I got a lesson in fish– which is a good thing, considering how much I have been enjoying our seafood CSA with Sirenseasa. We received a beautiful catch of herring, a fish I have never cooked, prepared, or even eaten. The fish were whole, and it meant in order to taste these little beauties, I had to learn how to scale a fish, clean a fish, and fillet a fish. I was eager. I was excited and nervous too. Intern left the house (partly to do laundry, and maybe also partly to escape this scary new fish-skill). I watched some videos online, I got my apron on, and got to it. Scaling fish? Not bad. Gutting, and cleaning my first fish ever? Not bad either. Filleting was hard, and something I am certain more practice would improve.
Here is the part that is hard to admit: I didn't like the herring. We grilled it very simply… and I just didn't like it. I love fish! I want to love herring! but not yet, I'm clearly not ready. I'm told it is a hard fish to love, if you're not familiar with the oily, fishy flavor, and I want to try again… but I feel a little defeated. I'm glad I learned the skills to deal with a whole fish… but I wanted the reward of a delicious fish dinner too. So here you go, failures happen in our kitchen all the time, I am admitting it just this once. [Edit: and also this other one time]

One-on-One with Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan sits down for an exclusive interview with Marvin R. Shanken, Editor and Publisher of Cigar Aficionado.
Marvin R. Shanken
From the Print Edition:
Michael Jordan, July/August 2005
(continued from page 9)
Michael Jordan may be the greatest basketball player in history. He led the Chicago Bulls to six National Basketball Association championships, twice doing it in three consecutive years. His season scoring average of 30.1 points per game is the highest in the league's history. And he won five Most Valuable Player awards, as well as making the all-league defensive team in nine of his 15 seasons. But Michael Jordan has become much more than a basketball player. Today, he is a sport icon, one of the best-known athletes in the world. His fame has transcended his sport and transformed him into a marketing mega-power. His Brand Jordan with Nike is approaching a $500-million-a-year business worldwide.
But now, two years after leaving the NBA and his final stint as a player with the Washington Wizards, Jordan has decided to speak out, not just about basketball, but his business goals, his personal pleasures and, most of all, his private life. He sat down in his Chicago-area home for a one-on-one interview with Cigar Aficionado editor and publisher Marvin R. Shanken to discuss his life, his achievements, his passions and dreams.
Michael Jordan: That's a good question. I would say it was for the Tar Heels. No one knew me until then. That's when the notoriety and everything began with Michael Jordan. By the time I got to Chicago, I was drafted three, so everybody knew I was at least decent.
But at North Carolina, when they recruited me and asked me to attend the university, it was an opportunity to prove myself. Up to that point, everybody had heard that this kid is pretty good, but we don't know how good. He came from a small town. He wasn't preseason All-American. He wasn't in the Top 100 High School kids. He didn't attend AAU games, and he was not a ranked player in the nation.
The University of North Carolina really gave me the foundation that it took to become a basketball player. Up to then, I hadn't been spoiled by the media spotlight. I was still raw. As a result, I had an appetite to prove to everybody that I was a decent basketball player, or a good enough basketball player to be at North Carolina. That was by far the purest experience for me, and the most satisfying.
MRS: Did you ever regret missing your senior year?
JORDAN: Yeah, because I had a great time in college. It was the first time I'd been away from home. I'd met new people and made new friends. It was an exciting time. It was just fun.
MRS: What was the rush to jump out early?
JORDAN: It was Coach [Dean] Smith's call. I relied so much on his knowledge. The NBA was an area where I wasn't too knowledgeable. My parents weren't knowledgeable about it, either. And it was a great opportunity. Coach Smith felt that it would be the best opportunity for me to make it in professional basketball. Once he researched the situation to find out where I would go in the draft, then I started weighing the pros and cons.
MRS: Wasn't that pretty unselfish of him, because it meant he would lose you the next season?
JORDAN: That was totally unselfish. It's the kind of person that he was. He could have said, "You should stay for your senior year. We have a great team with some great new recruits." Kenny Smith and Brad Daugherty were coming on. Our team was going to be really good. But he felt like for me, personally, going to the NBA was the best thing, and it was the best opportunity.
MRS: How exciting was it, going back this year, and watching North Carolina win the NCAA championship again?
JORDAN: I only went to one game in almost 21 years. One game at Notre Dame that I drove down for from Chicago in my second or third season with the Bulls. Other than that, I'd never been to a Carolina basketball game. To go there and see the tradition and see that everything was still the same was great. The camaraderie. The sport. The former players. The executives. Everything was the same. It was good for me to go back, and it was good for my kids to see. That's one of the reasons I went, was for my kids.
MRS: How did the fans treat you?
JORDAN: Well, it was a little different because of Illinois playing in the finals. I live in Illinois. It was the first time [Illinois] had been to a title game in so many years. But my true heart was with Carolina. And I think the fans understood that. They weren't bitter that I was supporting Carolina or that I was wearing the Carolina blue.
MRS: I read that almost the entire starting team of North Carolina has opted to go into the NBA draft, including three juniors [Rashad McCants, Raymond Felton and Sean May] as well as freshman Marvin Williams. Is this good for the players?
JORDAN: Is that good? I can be biased from the outside looking in. I'm very supportive of the university, and I would like to see them have the opportunity to defend the championship. In that respect, I think the players should have stayed in school. Just from a selfish aspect, I wanted to cheer for my university. But I don't have the understanding of what the family situations were for these players, or what motivates them. Sometimes you have to follow your dream. Their decision also depends on what Coach [Roy] Williams advised them, and about what pick they would be. That team had accomplished a lot in winning a championship. That's the ultimate prize. I think what my mother would have told me, as long as you go back and get that degree, then I can understand the sacrifice that you make to leave school. [Editor's note: Jordan, who left college in 1984, received his degree from North Carolina in 1986.]
MRS: Are these early exits from college good or bad for the NBA?
JORDAN: That depends, too. I'm a firm believer that a player should be 20 years old or older before going to the pros. Anything less than that is potentially bad. You've got a lot of things you have to take into consideration. The lifestyle. Just the mental and physical demands of the NBA that these kids are going to be dealing with are tough. And their whole maturity level, not only for basketball but on the personal side, too, has to be taken into account. If I had been a freshman or even a sophomore, no matter how good I was, I don't know if I would have been ready for what I had to deal with in the professional ranks. But you got more and more young guys doing it. I am a firm believer that something is affected by leaving college early, or not going to college at all.
As an NBA executive, if you have to invest in a player, you want to see more of the product that you are going to invest in. Since you aren't going to see as many games [of those leaving school early] to be able to gauge the maturity of these guys' basketball talent, you're rolling the dice. You are gambling. If you don't gamble right, you're going to be set back two or three years.
Now how does it affect the colleges? Look at North Carolina. You have to rebuild that team. You've almost got to start up again with all new players.
But the impact is even spreading down into the high school ranks. Kids there are not really looking at academics. They just want to get good. If they can't get into a college, the first thing they're going to say is, Well, I'm going to go pro. That may not be the best thing for them. So this trend trickles down all the way into high school.
JORDAN: That's exactly what I'm saying. I'm a firm believer in that. You can argue a lot of different situations, from social to financial. Maybe there has to be some type of arrangements, or agreement between the NCAA and the NBA, for those kids who are not financially stable. For them, there will always be pressure for going to the pros, to take care of their families.
MRS: What about players like Kevin Garnett? Kobe Bryant? LeBron James?
JORDAN: But you're talking about one player, LeBron James, who's been very successful in his first two years. Kobe [Bryant], Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady, Jermaine O'Neal—all those guys took at least three years before they adapted to what they had to do as professional basketball players.
MRS: They probably don't know what they missed, but you knew because you experienced college. What's important about staying in college?
JORDAN: You get the chance to mature in college. They get a chance to deal with a lot of issues in college. There's the education aspect, too. College teaches you a lot. It teaches you about being on your own, making decisions and even handling bank accounts. Eventually, you're going to have to deal with those things anyway.
MRS: You mentioned Dean Smith in a very positive way. I've wanted to ask what influence Dean Smith had on you as a young player.
JORDAN: He taught me a lot about the game. Not just about the athleticism required to play it. I'm a firm believer that when you come out of high school, you are strictly athletic. You've got a lot of athletic talents. Very few players are taught the game the right way in high school. When you go into these college programs, which was the best thing that happened to me, they are going to teach you all aspects of the game of basketball so you can apply that to your athletic skills and develop them. Once you leave college, you are a complete basketball player. Athletically, you are complete. And you know how to utilize that athleticism, and you know how to play the game within the team concept. You got a lot of these kids coming out of high school who never really had the right coaching. They think they can get by with just athleticism. It's not that way. There is very little teaching in the pros. You don't have time to teach. You've got 82 games in a season.
MRS: Where did you learn your work ethic?
JORDAN: My parents.
MRS: People say that nobody practiced harder, and you worked as hard in practice as you did in a game. There were no two different levels. Is that true?
JORDAN: I was taught to do it that way by my parents, and by the way they approached their daily activities. It wasn't half-assed. So I practiced like I played. So when I played, playing was fun. Practice is work. You're working on the idiosyncrasies of what your game needs, so when the game comes, you showcase it and you utilize it. You build your game on it. Practice wasn't just a place to take time off. You work on things in practice. On shooting, on going left or on using your left hand—those types of things that help you get better.
MRS: You were drafted number three. Did you have any idea before the draft where you were going to go? Were you surprised? Were you disappointed?
JORDAN: At the time I committed to go pro, because of Coach Smith's research, I was projected to go to Philly because Philly was in the third spot. Back in those days, the draft was based on wins and losses. So at the time, Philly was in the third slot. Billy Cunningham was the coach, and he was a Carolina guy. He said based on where we are right now in the third slot, Michael won't go less than three because we'll take him at three. Coach Smith knew that plan. But Chicago started losing games. In those days, if you lost games, you could move up in the draft. So once Chicago moved into third place, Philly moved to fifth because Dallas was coming in as an expansion team and they had the fourth pick. I could have easily gone back to the fifth pick. But then we got assurance from Houston that if they lost the coin flip to Portland, they'd take me—it was a coin flip between the top two teams to determine the first pick. But if Houston won the coin flip, they said they were going to take Hakeem Olajuwon. And that's exactly what happened. Hakeem Olajuwon went to Houston, and Portland went to its fallback pick, which was Sam Bowie. If Portland had won the coin flip, they would have taken Hakeem, and I would have ended up in Houston. But the coin flip came up Houston, and that put me back to third with Chicago.
MRS: Did you have a preference for which city you wanted to play in?
JORDAN: Not really. At that time, I just wanted to be drafted.
MRS: You were born in Brooklyn, New York. I just want to remind you. [Lots of laughter]
JORDAN: I don't think New York was in the picture. I don't think they had a pick that year. But at that time, you just want to get in the league. I didn't watch much pro basketball until I got into college, so I just wanted to play in the NBA.
MRS: What was your original deal in Chicago?
JORDAN: Financially? People are going to love this. It was a seven-year deal. I averaged about $850,000 a year. The first year's compensation was $650,000. There was no signing bonus. We tried to get an attendance clause. They were averaging 6,000 people a game. So we thought, OK, we're going to ask for an attendance clause. At the time, Jonathan Kovler was the owner. My agent, David Falk, went in and asked for that. Kovler said, We're not going to give him an attendance clause because if we draft him at the three spot, he'd better put people in the seats. So they never gave us an attendance clause.
JORDAN: Nope, that was my deal.
MRS: Were you unhappy about that?
JORDAN: No, I wasn't unhappy. Money didn't drive me at that time, so I wasn't worried about it. Once I signed my contract, I felt like, Let's go out and earn the money. And, I was the highest-paid rookie at the time.
MRS: Do you have a happiest memory or a peak moment when you were playing with the Chicago Bulls?
JORDAN: My happiest moment? There were so many. Do you want me to start early in my career? Making the playoffs the first time was the biggest thing for me because that franchise hadn't experienced the playoffs in a long, long time. The fans' attitude was "wait until next year, wait till next year."
In the third game of my career, we were playing Milwaukee and we were down 16 points going into the fourth quarter. People started to leave. That was their whole attitude. The game was over. I'd never experienced people leaving a game like that. It was something new. Everybody at North Carolina stayed until the end of the game, out of respect to the team.
Most of my teammates in Chicago had adapted to the fans leaving and just figured, The game must be over. I'm saying, No, it's not over until there are triple zeros on the scoreboard. I got a burst of energy and started to lead the charge. I got the opportunity to prove it's never really over. We came from 16 points down to win the game. That's when the city of Chicago started to say, OK, something's starting to happen, something is changing. There's no give-up in this kid, no matter what. He's going to keep fighting and fighting and fighting until we win or lose. That's how my first season went. That was the biggest plus for me when we made the playoffs that year.
MRS: When you were playing for the Bulls, did you, as a player or as a team, ever have any real rivalries, or was it all hype?
JORDAN: No, we had some rivalries. Early on, it was Milwaukee. We couldn't beat Milwaukee. They were just 45 minutes to an hour away. They were a strong team and they constantly kept beating us. Even when we got in the playoffs, they kept beating us. Then we got to a point where we started beating them. Then the rivalry went from Milwaukee to Detroit. And that was brutal. Isiah [Thomas] was from Chicago, and he wanted to come back and show he still dominated Chicago. I was the new guy in Chicago, and people were supporting the team. It became a dogfight between us. There was some real hatred there. On the floor, it was that whole physicality of the game, and that's what was happening on the basketball court. Anybody going into the paint was going to get knocked down. If you got stitches, you got stitches. Those are the types of games we had. But once we overcame them, then we knew we could do anything. There was no one else beating us, or having that kind of rivalry with us.
MRS: Your biggest rival was Detroit. Where did the Knicks fit in?
JORDAN: The Knicks came later.
MRS: Because as New Yorkers, we hated Michael Jordan. You single-handedly took us down more times than I want to remember. Every time in the playoffs when we thought we could reach the top, you nailed us.
JORDAN: Once we started winning and got past Detroit, the Knicks became our biggest rivals. They were trying to get where we were. We were trying to maintain what we were. Every battle was magnified. Patrick [Ewing] was a good friend. Charles Oakley used to be in Chicago. John Starks, Charles Smith, Anthony Mason—all these guys. When Detroit was winning, everybody had adopted the physical type of game. New York became that way, too. You go in the middle, you're going to get hit. Patrick was a fierce intimidator.
MRS: What was this rumor about Jordan coming to New York? We always heard that Michael Jordan was coming to the Knicks. We hated you, but on the other hand, we wanted you.
JORDAN: It was truly a rumor. We had one occasion when there was a dialogue. It must have been in 1996 or 1997 because of my contract situation in Chicago. But nothing ever really materialized.
MRS: But you told me recently that had a phone call come at the right time, you would have been a New York Knick.
JORDAN: If Chicago had not made a significant offer, New York was next. We actually had a dialogue with New York. If a phone call didn't come in 30 minutes from Chicago, we had already given assurances that we would have gone to the Knicks for less money.
