Meet the correspondents: NEW YORK > Tommy Kane
"When it comes to sketching, New York city is both a blessing and a curse. The blessing comes from the fact that the second you step onto the street, there are a thousand things to sketch. Famous landmarks abound. I can draw China, Japan, India or Korea by merely walking a few square blocks. Plus there are very few republicans. The curse is the weather. It is always too hot or way too cold or windy or raining or snowing. On top of that, everything is in constant motion. Nothing will stand still long enough for me to draw. I start to draw a bike and someone runs out and gets on it and leaves. Oh look, a firehouse, let me draw it. I'm half way through sketching the doors when they suddenly open and the trucks race out ruining my view. A vendor selling umbrellas would make a cool drawing. I begin and suddenly they pack up and move to a new location. I find a cool building to draw and set up my stool and begin. A truck instantly parallel parks right in front of my view. No one is aware of me or trying to be rude. That is just how Manhattan operates. Deep down it is what I love about New York. How hard it is. Not so much the easy stuff. Hopefully that is what comes across in my work. The pain and agony of trying to draw every detail I possibly can no matter how much the forces of nature and environment work against me."

So my baby boy Tucker came from a litter of 7 puppies that the shelter was going to put down at 10 weeks old due to being part pit bull ... I went and met them and thought that, whatever their mix, they were such a sound, sweet, outgoing litter of puppies that it would be a crime for them to die. So I committed to taking in two pups myself and frantically started calling rescue people I knew to help get the pups safe. A rescue in Pennsylvania stepped up and took four of them, and Michelle from EBBRR was going to take one, but for whatever reason, even though the shelter said they wouldn't adopt these puppies out, the shelter just adopted this one puppy straight out from the shelter to the woman Michelle sent to meet the pups ... and for the past 5 years, that pup has apparently lived happily in its home.
I guess for some people, even people who adopt rescued dogs and promise to give them homes forever, when life changes the puppies they raised up from little tiny things they picked up at shelters are just not that important. A divorce, some kids, life is hard. And now both of her dogs have to go. One is a pit bull, one is a lttle black and white mutt -- Tucker's sister, Omega.
I haven't seen her in person since 10 weeks old, but if she's anything like Tucker and the sister I had (Ariel, brown and white), she's probably a pretty awesome and sweet little dog. For real, Tucker and Ariel are/were two of the most even-keeled, easygoing, loving dogs I've ever had the joy of knowing. A little bit of drive and spark--just enough to make them fun pet dogs who like to be active and play, but not so much that they're at all difficult to live with in a busy household. I have jokingly said for the past few years that I could kick myself for not keeping two puppies from Tucker's litter, because I want Tucker bookends on my couch.
But sadly, I cannot have more dogs in my rental house ... it's one of the conditions of living here, and the landlords will not allow it.
Maybe Michelle can offer more detail, but here is her blog post about both dogs:
And here's Omega's photo. She doesn't look like Tucker on the surface, but I can see similarities ... the googly eyes, the soft expression, the little pouty mouth, the narrow snout.
I really want her to land in a safe, loving home. Poor thing.
Gizmo, the other dog, too, of course. I just happen to feel a bit of connection to Omega since they were part of the litter I was so immediately struck by when they were tinies.

Zayd Allebban
A jury of seven men and five women now hold the fate of a former Wayne County technology manager accused of creating bogus receipts to thwart a federal investigation of county government.
Zayd Allebban, 34, of Dearborn faces a maximum of 20 years in prison if convicted after a seven-day trial before U.S. District Judge Stephen Murphy.
Jurors listened to closing arguments Thursday before hearing instructions and preparing to deliberate.
Allebban is the first defendant in the Wayne County corruption investigation to stand trial, though much of the testimony in his case centered on his former boss, Tahir Kazmi. Kazmi already pleaded guilty to accepting bribes from a contractor, Philip Shisha.
Allebban is charged with conspiracy and obstruction of justice.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Sheldon Light painted Allebban as a willing participant in an effort to create receipts showing that Kazmi repaid Shisha. Allebban was working to protect his friend by hiding the payments, Light charged.
"If the FBI learned that simple truth, they would do more investigation, and that would be big trouble for Mr. Kazmi," Light said.
Allebban's lawyer, Haytham Faraj, insisted that Allebban believed the payments from Shisha to Kazmi were loans because both men, whom he considered friends, had characterized them that way.
"Do we not believe our friends?" Faraj said. "Naiveté is not a criminal act in our country, at least not yet."
Faraj accused Shisha of perjury and reminded jurors that he hasn't been charged with giving the bribes that Kazmi has admitted taking. Faraj said repeatedly that Shisha was working for "his handlers" -- the government agents working the case. The FBI wired Shisha before meetings with Allebban.
"They paid him with his liberty," Faraj said.
Kazmi is scheduled to be sentenced next week. Sentencing guidelines call for him to serve 57 to 71 months in prison.

Chữ TV or Chữ Tâm Vốn [心本]
It's basically an alternative script to the current Latin based writing system and the former Chinese based system of writing Vietnamese. Oh, and incase you're wondering, Chữ Tâm Vốn means the script "coming from the heart" where tâm (心)means heart and vốn comes from the Sino-Vietnamese bản (本)meaning origin.

yesterday, a wtas went down to the empty bin. trying to decide whether or not to get a replacement (i have 2 in the bunker).
On Christmas I finished off ORVW 10 107.It was a very good bottle.
An empty of Red Stag and Crown Royal hit the recycle bin last night. The RS has a replacement as it is popular in manhattans around here. The CR has multiple replacements as it is my wife's regular drink!
I'm sipping on the last of some 09 Stagg with the sediment in my glass while staring at my empty bottle. Thankfully there is more where that came from. For now at least.
Four Roses Yellow Label (US version) -- there was only one pour left after comparing to the Japanese bottle.

JW Dant BIB was just added to the discharge bin.
I don't post here very often because it takes me a long time to drain a bottle. Finally tossed a Baby Saz.

Unless it goes on sale or I buy a bunch of different stuff approaching a case (they give you a case discount including mixed cases), I probably won't be trying this anytime soon. When you can get comparably proofed Pikesville or Beam rye for less than half of this price, I'm just not a believer that this will be twice as good.

While this sucks, it's no different than potato chips and candy bars shrinking in serving size at the same price point.

Saw this today at a local store too. Same price as the 101. The packaging looks similar to their new styles too.

I think you can count on it that when the 101 rye reappears, it will be in new packaging and at a higher price.

"Whiskey Don't Keep."
Including the RR, there are three. Whether in new label or returning old label (2013), you have 81, 101, & RR.
And Kevin is spot on with the label. It's all about the "Rye" not about the proof-- in direct contrast to the bourbons where the 81 and the 101 are quite prominent.
Life's too short, and there's too much good whiskey within reach.

Pike High School football coach Derek Moyers figured his offensive line could take control on Friday night. He was right.
Pike used a punishing 1-2 running attack of Taylor Sanders and Derrick Wilkerson to dominate Lawrence Central. Sanders rushed for 159 yards on 20 carries and scored three touchdowns to lead the host Red Devils to a 34-3 rout of the Bears in the regular-season finale. Wilkerson added 154 yards on 18 carries for Pike (5-4).
However, there was a major loss in the victory. The Red Devils' star senior receiver, Dominique Booth, a Tennessee recruit, suffered a dislocated elbow on ...

Comfortable and stylish; the picture doesn't do this shoe justice. It is cute on and makes my size 10 feet look small, which is always a good thing. Has a removable insole and my custom insole works great. They are just what I need for the upcoming El Nino winter in San Diego to wear to work.
I have a terrible times finding shoes to fit me. I have a deformed foot, and a closet full of expensive, painful shoes.
I found the Ziera Gummibear shoes at Footwear etc. They're so comfortable, and I'm able to walk in them, which is amazing for me.
Can't wait to buy another pair in a different color. They're supportive without feeling like rocks; they've got some outer stitching which makes them more detailed looking; but the inside has to stitching, so they fit without irritating any pressure points.
Thank you Footwear Etc.!! Excellent service. The saleswoman was gracious and helpful.
The shoe is cuter than the pictures show. It is very comfortable and at this point I have not used my custom orthotics since they have excellent support. I need a half size larger in a closed shoe versus their sandles.
These shoes are perfect. They look good and easily accomodate orthodics. And, they come in half sizes. They feel like they were custom made for me.

A student found the message "I'm going to blow up CASHS" written in a bathroom at the high school and reported the message to administration. Public Opinion found out about an alleged incident on Tuesday and requested information about the incident. Some information was Tuesday afternoon.
Assistant principals Brian Zimmerman and Kelly Musser notified Academic Principal Deb Luffey around 1:30 p.m. Monday and they checked security cameras in the areas around the bathroom facility.
Luffey notified Director of Curriculum Chris Bigger while Musser called in Paul Weachter, who is in charge of the district's police department. Both arrived at CASHS to assist with the incident.
According to the district, no concrete evidence was found to pinpoint any students to the threat, but Weachter was continuing his investigation this week.
On Wednesday, Public Opinion asked school officials if parents were notified about the incident. Superintendent Joe Padasak said parents were not notified about the message.
Chambersburg Police Department was not called in for the incident, which is not unusual if district police have not deemed a situation severe enough to request help from additional law enforcement, Chambersburg Chief David Arnold said.

A cystectomy is a surgery to remove all or part of the bladder:
Reasons for a cystectomy include:
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications, such as:
Previous surgery in the abdomen or pelvis, or
radiation therapy
to the area increases your risk of complications.
You may need to take antibiotics to prevent infection and laxatives to clean out your bowels.
The night before, you may be asked not to eat anything and to only drink clear liquids. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight or on the morning of the procedure. This includes avoiding clear liquids, coffee, tea, and water.
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
General anesthesia
is given before surgery. You will be asleep.
An incision will be made in the abdomen to expose the bladder. In a radical cystectomy, all blood vessels to the bladder will be cut. The bladder will then be removed along with nearby lymph nodes, part of the urethra, and nearby organs that may contain cancer cells. In men, the prostate and glands that help produce semen will also be removed. In women, the uterus, ovaries, and, sometimes, part of the vagina will be removed.
The doctor will also need to create a new way for urine to be passed out of the body. A new bladder may be built using pieces of intestine or an external bag may be attached to the abdomen.
In a partial cystectomy, only part of the bladder will be removed.
Either procedure can be done by laparoscopic or robotic-assisted laparoscopic techniques using a number of smaller incisions and a camera.

About 3–6 hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
The usual length of stay is 5-12 days. The specific length of time will depend on your condition and the reason for surgery. Your doctor may also choose to keep you longer if complications occur.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
You may have to restrict some of your activities while you recover. This may take 4-6 weeks. Home care may include:
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

I consider myself a serious home cook. What knives are essential?
There are three core essentials:
You may want to check out Alton Brown's book, Alton Brown's Gear For Your Kitchen. He spends a chapter on knives and where to go past the essentials. He also suggests which ones are worth spending money on and which should be throwaways.
Everyone's stressing the chef's knife, but I'd be even more generic; when starting out, you can do almost every task with:
As you add to your collection:
A few people have mentioned a larger chef's knife, but it's going to be harder to control. Develop good knife skills first, then move to something larger.
I know a few people who do everything but bread with a paring knife (and no cutting board, in their hand, cutting against their thumb), and I'd consider them "serious chefs" (southern, over 60 for the most part, but also a few apartment-living Europeans).
To me, the following are necessary:
There are tasks for which other knives are more suitable, but these are the three I started with, and there's little you may need others for.
After the 3 that most of us agree on (chefs, paring, bread), my next choice would be a "tomato knife", which is a little longer than a paring knife, but serrated like a bread knife. Very handy for anything with tough skin.
There are plenty more you could use (I love my Santoku), but that will enable you to do just about anything.
I use three:
But then I'm a vegetarian, so I don't need to cut meat.
If you could only buy one knife, I would get a French Chef's knife or a Japanese Santoku, probably in the 8 inch size. These knives are both used differently (different techniques) so I would also research how to properly hold and use whichever one you go with.
Has anybody mentioned a steel? Buy a steel before you buy a good knife. You could buy the best quality knife of the planet but it won't make a lick of difference if you cannot maintain the quality of the edge.
I use a 33cm wooden handle Victorinox chef's knife for most of my work. I steel it several times a day and sharpen it on a wet-dry stone about once a month. Every chef I have worked with who has picked it up has loved it despite being a cheap brand.
In order of importance (for me):
High quality knives hold their edge, and will need sharpening once every year or two. Medium quality - need sharpening every 6 months or so, will be ground down in 5 - 10 years. Low quality - don't bother sharpening. The steel sucks, just replace it.
Generally, you need the first 3. Get the rest as need and finances dictate.
I've got a 6" chef's knife that I find more useful than my 8" chef
I also love my 8" Santoku

Now that youve successfully devoured your Thanksgiving feast and are staring at a refrigerator full of leftovers, your attention can turn to new ways to cook turkey.

1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 cup red potatoes , precooked and sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
10 large eggs
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
2 cups chopped turkey
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until translucent (approximately 3 to 4 minutes). Add potatoes and thyme, and cook for 2 minutes more. Lightly whisk eggs in a large bowl. Gently stir the potato mixture into the eggs along with ricotta, turkey, salt, and pepper until combined. Wipe the pan clean; add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and heat over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, cover, and cook until the edges are set and the bottom is lightly browned, approximately 3 minutes. (It will still be moist in the center.) Place pan in the oven and cook at 325 degrees for 10 minutes or until egg is firm in the middle. Let cool slightly and slice in to pie wedges.

If you work and have a spouse or partner, parents or older relatives, you'll want to hear this.
And if you own or run a business, you will, too.
Few people want to discuss this subject, but it needs discussing. Right now. It affects your health, career and pocketbook.
And if you run a business, it affects your bottom line.
The subject: dementia, Alzheimer's disease and how they're taking their toll on the productivity of the American workforce.
A few facts: 1 in 8 Americans age 65 and older has Alzheimer's disease. Millions more have another form of dementia. By 2025 - that's only 12 years away - another 30% of people will be living with Alzheimer's.
The prevalence of dementia is expanding rapidly as the population ages.
Who's taking care of these people? In many cases, it's their adult children, spouses and partners who work in your company.
More than 1 in 7 American workers are active or former caregivers for someone with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, according to a recent national poll that looked at the effects of dementia on the workforce. Among those, only 47% were able to stay working while providing care.
The poll, commissioned by Workplace Options in conjunction with the Alzheimer's Association, showed that nearly 70% of those who work or worked while providing care had to modify their schedules. They went in late, left early or took time off during the day.
Other findings:
Other issues that come up while being a working caretaker are physical exhaustion and psychological problems such as depression and anxiety. For some, it amounts to a second job.
Caring for someone with Alzheimer's or other dementias can be stressful because of a patient's unpredictable behavior.
A 2006 study by the Center for Health Workforce Studies at the School of Public Health at the University of Albany, N.Y., points out economic consequences for women caregivers of patients with all types of illnesses.
Nearly 30% passed up a promotion, training or assignment. They are estimated to have an average lifetime loss of $25,494 in Social Security benefits, $67,202 in pension benefits and $566,433 in "wage wealth as a result of their caregiving."
An article in the Gallup Business Journal points to Gallup research that estimates American businesses lose more than $25 billion annually in productivity from absenteeism among full-time working caregivers.
Although some businesses recognize this as an issue - allowing unpaid or paid vacation or sick leave for caregiving - few workplaces offer benefits that are most effective in reducing absenteeism.
Benefits that provide the highest return on investment are access to:
â?¢ Counselors to discuss options for assisted living and nursing homes.
â?¢ A network of support groups.
â?¢ Employee-assistance programs to discuss emotional distress.
â?¢ Counselors to answer questions about the person they're caring for.
"It's in a business' best interest to understand that these things are going to happen and prepare for them," says Chief Executive Dean Debnam of Workplace Options, a provider of employee support services. Doing so will "allow employees to focus on their job when they're at work."
We're living longer, and the number of people with Alzheimer's will increase.
"The number of unpaid caregivers in the workforce will also continue to increase," says Angela Geiger, chief strategy officer at the Alzheimer's Association.
You never know when this could affect you.
Businesses and their workers need to talk about this - now, not later.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (8/15/13) - Restructuring the four-level downtown parking garage was among topics of conversation at Thursday's Parking Committee meeting.
The restructure included moving public parking to the first floor of the building and will be a two-hour limit to park. The spots will continue to be used as rental spaces for retail properties, but the spots will not exceed the current capacity. The second floor of the building will be reserved for residential apartment complexes. The third floor will be reserved for those employed by the fiscal court. The top floor will be reserved for the Department of Correction, Master Commission, and the Department of Employee Services. In the event of inclement winter weather, the fourth floor will be moved to the first floor. Rate increases for the spots were also discussed. The rates of the parking spots have not been changed for a couple decades, so they will be changed as soon as the proposal is approved by the City Commission. New signage will also be placed in the parking garage clearly stating that the spots are reserved and towing is strictly enforced. If approved, the implementation date will be Oct. 1 of this year.
Parking at the current US Bank location was also discussed. Right now, there is little to no parking on Airpark Dr. and the lot does not accommodate procedures made by the OFD in case of an emergency, but the new US Bank location will have 100-120 more spots for public and employee parking. The new US Bank location will open Jan. 6, 2014.
Handicap Parking on Daviess St. and Allen St. have been discussed for some time, because these spots have been used by non-handicap drivers that have not identified the spots correctly. The group decided that thermo-plastic parking stalls that will last five to ten years will be placed to make the spots more visible. Fines of $32.50 will be in effect soon for non-handicap parkers.

A team of marine scientists and Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council staff conducted an aquatic invasive species survey at locations across the state this week.
The team began in Maine on Sunday and worked in Rhode Island Wednesday and Friday looking under docks, piers and coastal locations, investigating the coastline for the presence and spread of marine aquatic invasive species.
On Wednesday, the team surveyed Point Judith Marina in South Kingstown, Allen Harbor Marina in North Kingstown and Port Edgewood Marina in Cranston.
On Friday, the team plans to visit Fort Adams State Park boat basin in Newport.
While monitoring invasive species at Allen Harbor Marina, Dr. James T. Carlton, a professor of marine science at Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., said the researchers are spending the week working 14-hour days to identify the species.
He said they began Sunday in Maine and will monitor marine aquatic invasive species all the way down to the Long Island Sound.
An invasive species is defined as a ŌĆ£non-indigenous species that threatens the diversity or abundance of native species or the ecological stability of infested waters, or commercial, agricultural, aquaculture or recreational activities on these waters,ŌĆØ according to the CRMC.
These species are considered to be second only to direct habitat destruction as a cause of declining biodiversity in native species.
Carlton said they begin around 7 a.m. on docks and piers collecting species. Once they have gathered enough samples, around 3 p.m. or 4 p.m. they head to a lab where the work to catalog and identify the species they gathered until about 9 p.m. or later.
The team is using the Brown University lab while in Rhode Island for their research.
Carlton said every three to five years the team re-surveys ports, docks, harbors and marinas to obtain a ŌĆ£baselineŌĆØ of information on invasive species and to detect any new species.
ŌĆ£We need to keep a fairly fine finger on the pulse of change her in biodiversity,ŌĆØ Carlton said.
Carlton said the ŌĆ£hopeŌĆØ of the survey is not to find anything new. If they do, they must study the new species and its distribution throughout the area and its impact to native species.
Carlton said in Maine the team found one or two smaller things that theyŌĆÖre unsure of what they are, stressing that they werenŌĆÖt very large.
At the end of all the monitoring, Carlton said a report is written and a ŌĆ£snapshotŌĆØ is established regarding the species in the areas monitored, so when the team returns in 2016, they can say with confidence whether a species has been there before or whether something is new.
The samples are kept, Carlton said, and are sent to museums, including the Smithsonian Institution and the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University.
Species that have invaded Rhode Island waters include the European green crab, the Asian shore crab, lace bryozan, Codium fragile (a green algae), the red macroalgae Grateloupia turuturu, various colonial and solitary sea squirts and several shellfish pathogens.
Lauren Stefaniak, a post-doctoral fellow in marine science at the University of Connecticut, and Jen Dijkstra, an affiliate assistant professor at the University of New HampshireŌĆÖs Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping, were examining species on the dock in North Kingstown.
They said some sea squirts have been in Rhode Island for more than 100 years. Others have been around since the 1970s and 1980s. Stefaniak said the native species is known as ŌĆ£sea grapes.ŌĆØ
Other invasive species of concern, due to their proximity to Rhode Island and/or those with a high potential for environmental and economic damage, include: veined Rapa whelk, Chinese mitten crab, Suminoe oyster, Pacific oyster, Caulerpa (a species of seaweed) and Japanese kelp.
Stefaniak and Dijkstra said the invasive species enter Rhode Island waters through different means including on boat hulls and a host of other vehicles.
The Rhode Island Aquatic Invasive Species plan is ŌĆ£the first comprehensive effort to assess the impacts of threats of aquatic invasive species in Rhode Island,ŌĆØ according to the CRMC.
Developed and implemented on the state level by CRMC, the survey ŌĆ£prioritizes state agency leadership for action including monitoring coastal and freshwater resources, contributing to a regional database on the presence and distribution of [aquatic invasive species], developing various education initiatives, preventing [aquatic invasive species] introductions, controlling their spread and where possible, eradicating particularly harmful organisms.
CRMC conducted the survey with the assistance of professors, researchers and students from several universities as well as the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management; the Rhode Island Bays, Rivers and Watersheds Coordination Team; the Casco Bay Estuary Program; the Piscataqua River Estuary Partnership; the Massachusetts Bays Program; and the Buzzards Bay program.

The concept couldn't be more simple: Just paint the color into the section with the corresponding number.
It's called paint-by-numbers and its creator lives in metro Detroit.
In 1950, Dan Robbins had an idea that would grow to inspire budding artists.
The 87-year-old proudly displays the 50s fad in his West Bloomfield home. From the very first paint by numbers image to a later Marilyn Monroe that was never marketed.
"I don't ever call them art. I call them the experience of picking up a brush, dipping it in paint," Robbins said.
The Cass Tech High School grad and Army veteran worked at the Palmer Paint Company on a washable paint set for kids. But Robbins said his boss wanted to reach more consumers and asked him to come up with something.
At first, Robbins said, he didn't have a clue on what to do. But then he remembered something about Leonardo da Vinci giving numbered assignments to his apprentices.
But not everyone caught on to the idea right away. Robbins said dealers told him it was too complicated.
Robbins explains that it's really not – artists need only to match numbers on the board with the numbers on the paint.
The kits by Craft Master hit it big time after Macy's in New York started selling them.
"The line was so hot, it took off like a rocket," Robbins said.
The company's $200,000 in annual sales jumped to $20 million thanks to paint-by-numbers.
Critics told Robbins it wasn't right to sell art in a package.
"We didn't care because we were selling a ton of them," he said.
Robbins said a paint-by-number likeness of Queen Elizabeth once sold for $1,600.
Robbins work is honored by the Detroit Historical Museum's Gallery of Innovation.

The Massey Group thanks Haslam family in full page newspaper ad. / Courtesy of WBIR.com
After weeks of negative news about Pilot Flying J and a federal investigation into the company, there's a positive story about the family behind the company.
On April 15, 2013, FBI and IRS agents raided Pilot's West Knoxville headquarters. FBI affidavits released a few days later claimed Pilot defrauded trucking companies in a rebate scheme.
Weeks after that raid, another East Tennessee company is showing public support for Pilot Flying J CEO, Jimmy Haslam, and his family. The Massey Group is taking out a full page advertisement in Sunday's Knoxville News Sentinel thanking the Haslams. The Massey Group said the ad is not in response to the federal investigation into Pilot. "If this city ever had a family that we owe appreciation to it's the Haslams," Randy Massey of The Massey Group said.
The ad says in part, "Thank you to the Halsam family for the many years of support for Knoxville and East Tennessee...Please know that you have the appreciation of the community to which you have contributed so much."Massey said the point of the ad is simply to show the Haslam's appreciation for their help shaping our community. "If you look at the great families that have made this a great community, we have a lot of things that communities our size don't have, and a great deal of that is due to the Haslams," Massey said. "And I said on Mother's Day I think I would like to put ad in that just said to the Haslam's 'Thank you very much. How can we thank you enough for what you've done to our community?'"
The ad also lists companies and individuals who support the Haslam family. That list includes Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero. 10News asked her about the investigation into Pilot Flying J after she presented the city's budget on April 26. She said, "I hope that the investigations don't drag on and things get worked out soon so that the family can go back to doing what they do best and that's just caring about Knoxville."

NEW YORK — What the Department of Veterans Affairs failed to do for double amputee Michael Sulsona in two years, some New York hardware store workers delivered in an hour: They fixed his broken wheelchair.
The 62-year-old Vietnam veteran said he petitioned the VA for a new chair two years ago and received no reply. Then his wheelchair broke last week.
When Sulsona was in a Lowes home improvement store on Staten Island, a bolt on the already worn-out wheelchair snapped and a back wheel was about to fall off. Three Lowes employees stayed late after their 10 p.m. closing time to do the repair, for free.
They said, Youre not leaving till its like new again, Sulsona recalled.
The next day, Sulsona wrote a letter to his local newspaper, the Staten Island Advance, to thank the stores employees.
I kept thanking them and all they could say was, It was our honor, he wrote. The actions of these three employees at Lowes showed me there are some who still believe in stepping to the plate. Someone needed help and they felt privileged to be given the opportunity.
Sulsona, a former Marine, said he lost his legs in 1971 during an explosion while on patrol.
After his letter to the newspaper, the VA got word of Sulsona and sent him a brand-new wheelchair Tuesday.
Sulsonas new chair arrived in the wake of months of scandal in the VAs health care unit over complaints nationwide of long wait times and poor patient care.
We were very grateful that this was brought to our attention, said VA spokesman Jim Blue with the VA New York/New Jersey Healthcare Network. Too many veterans wait too long to receive their health care and benefits and this has never been acceptable.
In a statement, Chris DiMaria, store manager at the Staten Island Lowes, said he couldnt be more proud of his team or company.
Whether a customer needs assistance repairing their home or a wheelchair, our employees are ready to spring into action to help, DiMaria said.

The biggest new item rule changes are in the Video Information sections. You can now go directly to a video informaiton section without having to go through the entire info process.
If a video has premiered, has has anime, has music, and was entered more than two weeks ago, you won't be able to edit the premere date, anime, or music.
In order to enter download information, you must have a premiere date in the past, anime, and music listed.
I will add more details as they are needed. Thanks again and have fun!! ^_^

Thursday I was fishing a small trout stream. I was way off of any roads. I am guessing I was 2.5 miles back in and I found this.
It was protruding from the bank. It partially uncovered by recent flooding. There was more of it going in to the bank. I guess it at 300 to 400 pounds. It is about as big around as a large garbage can. There is really old looking wood imbedded in the hub. I was not sure what it was at first.
After a little research and asking a few friends I believe I know with it is. It is a hub and axle from an old mill wheel. I don't know the age of the relic but it seemed like stepping back in time to see it on a tiny trout stream.

Beech junior outfielder C.J. McClain, a Tennessean All-Midstate selection last spring, has been dismissed from the softball team for disciplinary reasons.
"The only thing I can say is that it was an internal decision and she was dismissed from the team due to a disciplinary issue ? for the remainder of the season," Beech second-year coach Erica Powell said Monday.
Asked if there was a possibility McClain could return for her senior year, Powell said: "I'm not going to comment to that one way or the other because I don't really know. I'll know more at the end of the season." ...

It's the question Clevelanders haved debated all week long: Should Art Modell be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame?
The class of 2013 will be announced on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. EST.
WKYC's Jim Donovan says in his opinon, Art Modell should not be enshrined in Canton. When it comes to Modell, the biggest event he is known for in his NFL tenure, says Donovan, is the move of the Browns from Cleveland to Baltimore. Listen to more from Donovan in the attached video clip on why he would pass up Modell for the Hall.
To be elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame a finalist must receive 80-percent of the vote.
Modell owned the Cleveland Browns from 1961-1995. He moved the team to Baltimore in what is still regarded as one of the most hurtful and despicable acts in Cleveland sports history.
Modell passed away on September 6, 2012 at the age of 87.

Marin Miller grew up in the house where the relic resided, a giant and fancy reminder of a long-ago production of "The Importance of Being Earnest." Her mother, Mary Jane Harvill, had portrayed young Cecily in the piece for Southern Stage Productions in the 1980s, and received the headpiece as a gift when the show was over.

A sign at a game farm in Poynette. / Gary Engberg/For Wisconsinoutdoorfun.com
The Wisconsin ring-necked pheasant season opens this Saturday at noon. Ive written recently how the wild or native pheasant in Wisconsin is becoming scarcer and scarcer as more prime habitat is lost to urbanization, development, and changing farming practices.
Pheasant hunting in Wisconsin has a long tradition which has many hunters looking forward to every October, November, and December. Wild pheasant flourished in the state in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and even into the 1970s. But the native population of birds declined tremendously and it never has had the habitat to rebound and become the prized gamebird that hunters have always cherished.
Pheasant numbers rebounded during the 1980s with the creation of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and some great work by the Pheasants Forever conservation group who believes that habit is the key to having wild pheasants. But, the CRP program has declined tremendously due to higher grain prices and the production of ethanol. This has put land back into production.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources opened the Poynette Game Farm in the 1930s and is still in use today. The Game Farm in Poynette, Wisconsin incubates over 300,000 eggs annually with weekly hatches from early April to June. Every year about 250,000 chicks are hatched with many being raised on the Game Farm for stocking and some going to private conservation clubs that raise the day-old chicks for release. Hen chicks are also available for sale to the public.

The DNR originally raised pheasants for release on public hunting grounds to bolster the wild population and provide quality pheasant hunting opportunities for its hunters. But, research over time has shown that pen-raised pheasants do not have the survival instincts to evade predators or hunters long enough to add to the wild pheasant population. The current stocking efforts are now aimed at providing quality pheasant hunting chances on public hunting grounds for all hunters. There are areas in the state where there are still wild and native pheasants, but these locations are on mostly private lands and not open to public hunting.
Last year, the DNR raised and released about 54,000 pheasants which were released on 72 public hunting grounds. This year, the DNR is releasing 75,000 pheasants on 92 public hunting grounds. According to DNR Poynette Game Farm manager, Bob Nack, the additional properties stocked this year will allow hunters to explore and find success on properties that they may not have hunted in the past. The pheasant stocking program is largely supported by pheasant hunters with the purchase of pheasant stamps. The pheasant stamp was created in 1991 to provide funds for pheasant restoration and management.
Increasing pheasant stocking gives more recreational chances for the hunter that they didnt have in the past. The added properties that are stocked are all in the south-east part of the state which is the traditional pheasant range and areas that have been stocked in the past will now see an increase in the number of birds that they receive this season. The new properties were picked because they can support the birds and be more accessible to urban residents. The new stocking information can be found on the DNR website, wi.dnr.gov, and use the keywords pheasant stocking.
In the late 1970s and into the late 1980s, I farmed in south-west Wisconsin around the New Glarus and Mt. Horeb area. Even after moving to the Wisconsin River valley near Sauk City, I could go back to friends farms and still see pheasants and always get a bird or two. But, as I said, those days are long gone and with the creep of development, urbanization, and loss of habitat has stopped most wild pheasant production in this area.
The CRP program which helped increase wild pheasants by restoring habitat has lost thousands and thousands of acres of prime cover and wetlands with farmers getting more money for crops than letting their land sit idle. This downfall of CRP has happened all across the Midwests pheasant range and pheasant numbers are down as much as 65 % in South Dakota and other states.
This season should be a little better for wild pheasants with the Rural Mail Carrier Survey conducted by 735 carriers who saw 411 pheasants from April 16-18th in the survey period. This is a 25 % increase from 2012. The statistics are based on the number of pheasants seen per 100 miles driven. The DNR also does a pheasant survey in 29 counties that are considered the core of the Wisconsin pheasant range. The count was done from April 8th to May 3rd, 2013. This year, the number of pheasants seen and recorded was slightly below the 5-year average. But, it was still slightly higher than 2012.
Overall, I think that little has changed since last season by talking to DNR personnel and reading the studies that they have done on stocking pheasants. Youll still be able to find wild birds in a few scattered areas, if you do some driving, scouting, and knocking on some farmers door. You never know where you may find a hot spot! The best locations for pheasant hunting are still in the southern counties and a few counties in west-central Wisconsin (Dunn, Buffalo, Trempealeau, Jackson, and Monroe Counties.) These are the best areas for wild birds and also the counties where there are many stocked public hunting grounds to hunt.
This year the season opens at noon on Saturday. Hunters need a valid small game license and a pheasant stamp to help support the pheasant programs and management. You may harvest one rooster on opening weekend and the rest of the season the daily limit is two pheasants and the possession limit is four roosters. There also are a few public areas where you may also shoot hen pheasants if you have the tags and are in a hen hunting location. Check the DNR website and be sure to have a Small Game Hunting Regulations booklet.
Pheasants are usually stocked twice a week during the first month and then once a week till the birds are all released. Be sure to also check on public hunting grounds that close at 2 p.m. on weekdays from October 21 to November 3. If you can hunt during the week, youll have fewer hunters and more room to hunt. There also are some private lands that are open to pheasant hunting. Call (608)-635-8120 and ask about these properties.
In the Madison area, there is the Mazomanie Public Hunting Grounds which is stocked and has plenty of good cover and habitat. The Lodi Public Hunting Grounds is another good spot. The DNR website will tell you where the 92 public hunting locations are and how many pheasants will be stocked at that location. But, be sure to check this out because it will help you in finding that spot to hunt.
Be safe, follow all regulations, and check out some of the locations that Ive mentioned and you should find some birds. Some of the best hunting can be during deer season and later in December when there are few out hunting. The season opens this Saturday at noon and is open to December 31.

Winter Protection
In autumn you are best to leave the border plants in peace. Especially when they are covered in a thin layer of frost they still look lovely in the winter months.
Do you check plants that are in storage every now and then? They can be given a little water once in a while but water sparingly. You are better off not giving them any plant food just yet. It is also best to air the area they are being kept every now and then but make sure you do this on frost-free days!
Autumn may have only just begun, but the cold months of winter will soon be upon us. Here are some tips on how to prepare your garden for winter.
Winter is here again and many birds have headed south. The birds that stay here for winter often do so around towns and in our gardens. They have learned that in hard times they are more likely to find food there, than in the woods or fields

Much to a fan's delight, Green Bay Packers receiver James Jones sticks out his tongue out as he sits in the stands after a Lambeau Leap that followed his 28-yard touchdown catch during the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals at Lambeau Field. Evan Siegle/Press-Gazette
Four weeks ago, the Green Bay Packers were dumbfounded by their 2-3 record and pedestrian offense after a bad loss to the underdog Indianapolis Colts.
But in a months time, the Packers have won four straight games and go into their bye week with a four-game winning streak after dispatching the Arizona Cardinals 31-17 at Lambeau Field on Sunday.
This last month reminded defensive lineman Ryan Pickett of the 2009 season, when the Packers dropped to 4-4 with an embarrassing loss at previously winless Tampa Bay. That young Packers team then went on a five-game winning streak and won seven of eight games in the second half of the season to get into the playoffs for the first time with Aaron Rodgers as the starting quarterback.
I love where we are, Pickett said. Were behind two games (of first place in the NFC North Division), but were getting better. We keep winning, everything will take care of itself.
Just like then, we used (the bad loss) for better. We took off after that. Same thing with Indy, we used it as a platform.
At 6-3, the Packers remain 1½ games behind the Chicago Bears, who annihilated Tennessee 51-20 on Sunday. The Packers hold the tiebreaker edge because they won their first meeting with the Bears, 23-10 at home in Week 2. The 5-4 Minnesota Vikings fell a game behind the Packers after losing 30-20 at Seattle on Sunday.
After Sunday's win, the Packers locker room was as animated as it could be after a midseason game, for a few reasons: The four-game winning streak; the feeling the offense is coming around after putting up 31 points and 384 yards against a defense that came into the game ranked No. 4 in the NFL in points allowed and No. 6 in yards allowed; and the reward of a full week off for the win before their bye.
Coach Mike McCarthy told the players this week that if they lost, theyd have to work Monday and probably another day this week. Instead, they earned the week off.
I like where we are, 6-3, center Jeff Saturday said. Have the bye week to rest it up. But make no mistake, the crux of what were going to do is what weve got in front of us. Weve got (five games in) the division. You cant look back and go were happy with 6-3. We have the most important games division games count double. As a group we know that. We get a week to clear our heads and get back to the grind.
The Packers won handily enough even though Rodgers didnt have a particularly good game, at least throwing the ball. His 96.9 rating included his first sub-.500 completion game of the season (14-for-30) and a relatively modest 218 yards passing, his second-lowest total of the season.
But Rodgers changed the game early because of his scrambling. Arizona appeared prepared to sit back in two-deep coverage and blitz only strategically, as had the teams that have defended the Packers best this season.
But on the second series, Rodgers had three scrambles for 36 yards, including straight up the heart of the field for a 25-yard gain on the third play of the possession, and again up the middle for 9 yards that converted a third-and-8 for a first-and-goal at the 9. Both came against standard four-man rushes.
That changed the Cardinals game plan. They started blitzing more against a quarterback who usually is at his best when blitzed (121.1 passer rating against the blitz this season), and he made the Cardinals pay with two touchdown passes while facing extra rushers.
The first was in the middle of the second quarter, when Randall Cobb had one-on-one coverage on a fade route because of a five-man blitz. Rodgers hit him in stride over cornerback William Gay with a 21-yard touchdown that put the Packers ahead 14-7.
Then later in the quarter, Rodgers beat an all-out seven-man rush by hitting James Jones with a 28-yard fade route for a touchdown. Jones went over cornerback Jamell Flemings back in one-on-one coverage for the difficult catch that put the Packers ahead 21-7.
Rodgers definitely is a dual threat, Saturday said. Hes got great mobility, he knows how to find a first down. He can create big plays with his legs. Then you try to come get him, and he throws it over you.
Then as the game wore on, the Packers started running well with their halfbacks for one of the only times this year, even though they lost starting right tackle Bryan Bulaga to a hip injury early in the second quarter. With left guard T.J. Lang replacing Bulaga and backup lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith replacing Lang at left guard, halfbacks James Starks (17 rushes for 61 yards) and Alex Green (11 for 53) banged out 114 yards on 28 carries combined.
That in turn set up the touchdown that gave the Packers breathing room late in the third quarter. With the Cardinals safeties occupied by go routes on the outside, tight end Tom Crabtree ran past inside linebacker Paris Lenon, who was cheating up for the run, and was wide open down the middle seam for an 72-yard catch-and-run that put the Packers ahead 31-17 on the last play of the third quarter.
(Lenon) stopped his feet at one point and stepped up, then tried to get back on me, Crabtree said. But it was a little too late for him.
The Packers defense accomplished its mission by making sure Arizonas elite playmaker, receiver Larry Fitzgerald, didnt dominate. Cornerback Tramon Williams matched up with Fitzgerald most of the day and with constant help from safeties Morgan Burnett and M.D. Jennings, kept Fitzgerald from going off. Fitzgerald had an impressive 31-yard touchdown catch when he was mismatched against linebacker Dezman Moses and then beat tackle attempts by Williams and Jennings for the score, but his other five receptions were for only 43 yards.
There were a lot of plays we had regular coverage on him, but the safety did an excellent job of breaking (that way), Williams said. Obviously we know thats the guy they want to get it to, so the safety had a tendency to lean that way.

Two screws held the icemaker on. You do not even have to take them all the way out to remove the IM. Replacement of the water valve was just as easy except they (parts manufacturer) updated the flange nut with a compression fitting and it took me a minute looking at it before I realize what was going on. The door seal could not be easier, no tools just a few minutes of time

when the ice maker runs through its cycle, you should be able to hear the solinoid valve open, letting water into the ice maker. this was not happening for me. you can dissconnect the plug on the valve and put the two probes from a multimeter in the plug and set for AC volts. when the ice maker runs its cycle, at the end you should see the meter jump as power is applied to the valve then turns off. this means you do have power to the valve so the valve is defective. turn off water supply to the valve, disconnect the water supply tube to the valve, remove the screw holding the valve, disconnect supply tube to icemaker then hook up supply tube to bottom of valve, screw braket back to refrig, install suppy back to valve, turn water back on and check for leaks and your ice maker should be working properly again.these guys were really fast on delivery too!

CustomerLarry from Dallas TX
Unplugged the refrigerator and turned off the water to the ice maker valve. Removed the water line at both ends (small crescent wrench). Removed the cover from the water valve area (two Phillips head screws). Removed the valve (two screws - small nut driver) and pulled off the two electrical connections.Installed the new valve with the reverse procedure though the holding screws didn't line up with the existing holes in the refrigerator metal frame. I let it go with one screw holding ... didn't have a drill with me to make a second screw hole.Replaced the old water line (from the wall to the valve) with a steel-reinforced hose.Cut the female metal connector from the old water line up to the freezer and it fit nicely into the push-in outlet from the new valve. Turned everything back on and waited for the ice maker to cycle. To my dismay, the leak had been coming from the plastic line that goes from the valve up to the ice maker. It had split, spraying water. Replaced that and everything works fine.Lesson learned: Don't assume water near the icemaker valve actually is from the valve or its water connections. Watch the whole system cycle a couple of times to see what's really happening. Glad to have a new valve but the basic problem was the icemaker tubing.

CustomerPaul from Galien MI
The old fill valve was leaking water at a very low rate, sort of like a dripping faucet. Water was then freezing up in the fill tube and funnel areas, eventually causing the fill tube to push out of the grommet and allowing it to leak into the freezer's rear coil compartment. This resulted in a large icicle forming on the left side of the coils and defrost thermostat. In addition to low icecube production, I also began to see excessively warm defrost cycles, due to the defrost thermostat being iced over. (Telltale signs--1.Ice cubes melted/frozen into a massive block in the bottom of the ice bucket, 2.Soggy frozen food boxes and soft icecream, 3.Water accumulating under the crisper drawers in the refrigerator.)I ended up replacing the fill valve, which is about a 10min job, and also had to remove the icemaker and interior rear cover from the freezer compartment to de-ice the coils. This was a NECESSARY step as the freezer is not able to defrost and clear this amount of ice on its own. I used a small hair dryer, being careful not to get it wet. If you tap on the ice to break it up, don't use anything sharp. Just let it thaw--My circa-1992 Kenmore fridge (363.9711780) does not show up at Sears Parts Direct anymore, but it's a GE unit, and in my case the parts were all listed in the owner's manual using GE "WR" part numbers.Good Luck!
CustomerGeorge from Islamorada MD
This was a simple parts replacement. I had replaced the cracked plastic tube a few weeks earlier and destroyed the retaining star washer inside the solenoid valve while removing the old one. It worked for a while and then started to leak when the tube had partially worked its way out. The star washer is not a replaceable part so this repair was simply replacing the valve with a new one. It is very straight forward - disconnect the electric plug, remove the old valve, insert the tube in the new valve (it goes through the plastic bushing in the valve - do not remove the bushing - it can easily be mistaken for a shipping plug) and reattach the supply line being careful to avoid kinking it. Reattach the valve, the electric plug and support clips for both the supply line and the plactic line to the ice maker.

CustomerKenneth from Bellevue WA
I removed one screw to loosen the cardboard panel that covered the old valve and one screw to remove the valve assembly. I disconnected the two wiring connections and unscrewed the two water line connections. Replacement was really easy since the bracket was the same as the old valve. The down stream water connection was different for the new (push in) than the old (threaded) but I cut the old threaded connector off and figured out that the new push in connection was solid (directions would have really helped here) Reconnected the inlet tubing and electrical wires and replace the panel and it was done.

I ordered the part and it got here very quickly. Being a novice home repair person, it took me awhile to get the courage to start. It was practically uneventful, but it did take some time to figure it out exactly. I did have to bend the piece some, which is always a little nerve wracking. However, the part is working beautifully and I feel good about myself.

CustomerDon from Crete IL
Super simple. Extremely fast delivery of part. Simply disconnect the 2 fast-on connectors to valve, disconnect intake and out lines. connect intake and out tubes to new unit, mount via screws to fridge, reconnect the 2 fast-on power connectors and your back in business. Could not be an easier repair.
CustomerMark from Bayside NY
The original piece was already removed. installation required a little custom fitting as the mounting was slightly different and the copper tubing from the water line needed to be bent to fit. The push in plastic connection (output to the icemaker itself ) was simple ( I was a little leary of it not leaking.) I plugged in the solenoid connection firstI attached both water lines and checked for fit. Made the adjustments and then screwed the bracket back on to the refrigerator. I could only install one screw but it holds it fine. I did have to trim the hard press board(cardboard) a little to fit the new valve. I believe the board is to protect against dust build up on the mechanical equipment (motor, condenser,etc)

CustomerAlice from Vancouver WA
I first replaced the ice maker and when that didn't work, I found out through this forum that another possibility is the water outlet valve. When I got the replacement, it took some time to install because the bracket wasn't the same as the original. There are enough places on the bracket to mount the unit, but it may require using some force to bend the bracket so that it will flush with the wall.After installation, it took about 2 days to fill up the ice bin. It cycles out ice crescents every 2-3 hours.Thanks partselect for having this forum and saving me some money by having others share their experiences.
