GRAND RAPIDS -- Police say they caught a man with $1,620 in counterfeit bills in his pocket after an alert gas station clerk noticed that a woman he was with tried to use a fake $100 bill.
Daquawon Desmond Haten, 21, is now facing both state and federal charges for allegedly passing counterfeit bills.
Court records show that Haten was arrested Monday by Grand Rapids police after a traffic stop on Division Avenue.
An officer spotted a white Grand Am turning out of the Family Dollar on South Division Avenue and noted that the car and license plate matched an earlier description given by a Shell gas station clerk.
The clerk, at 415 S. Division, had confronted a woman when she tried to pass a fake $100 bill. She fled the store and left in a car, but the clerk managed to get the car's plate and forwarded it to police.
In court records, police allege that Haten was in the vehicle and initially gave a false name. Later, he consented to a search and officers found $386 in genuine cash in one pocket and $1,620 in fake bills in another pocket.
Several of the counterfeit bills had the same serial number, police said.
Haten eventually told investigators that he got the counterfeit money by purchasing $3,000 in counterfeit bills from a man who knew as "G" in Detroit.
He allegedly admitted to passing $40 in counterfeit bills at Victoria's Secret at Woodland Mall and $100 at Popeye's restaurant to pay for a $20.96 purchase.
Federal prosecutors filed a criminal complaint against Haten on Thursday.

Far north
by Theroux, Marcel

Call Number: F
If Cormac McCarthy's brutal western Blood Meridian were set in the dystopian future of The Road and then translated into homespun sentences by Larry McMurtry, you'd approach Far North by Marcel Theroux.Narrated by Makepeace, the constable of a barren, post-apocalyptic town in Siberia, this is a story about survival in a struggling world. A "broken age," as Makepeace tells it, one in which human beings who are deprived of food and "unwatched" are rat cunning and will not just kill you, but will "come up with a hundred and one reasons why you deserve it...

by Beard, Jo Ann.
April 9, 2012
Call Number: F
This is the story of an unnamed 14-year-old girl growing up in the farm-implement capital of the world: Zanesville, Illinois. It's a wry observation of the folly and seriousness surrounding a middle-class life in 1970s America, which includes first flirtations and overworked mothers, the melodrama of cheerleaders and the drama of corporal punishment, telepathy with best friends and feral kitten abduction.Many of the happenings in the book are, like adolescence, a combination of hilarity and pain, e.g., an alcoholic father who seems prone to suicide is obsessed with taming the neighbor...

The same goofy weather of the past couple of days continues. Today's forecast calls for cloudy skies, a 40 percent chance of rain and a chance of late afternoon thunderstorms.
Tonight's low will be around 52 with a 40 percent chance of rain.
Wednesday's forecast looks about the same, with temperatures slightly cooler. A high of 68. Thursday looks more dry, with a 20 percent chance of rain with a high of 68. The weekend, for right now, looks partly sunny and highs in the low 70s.
The Phoenix Mars Lander is getting busy collecting ice and dirt to figure out if there could have been or will be life on the Red Planet or something like that. Well, here's all the proof we need.

Carpenter responds to fire regs with new polyester fill
August 14, 2002-- Home Textiles Today,
Richmond, VA — With California's new fire-retardant legislation Bill 603 in mind, Carpenter Co. is introducing a new polyester fill for bed pillows and mattress pads. Named Firestop, the fill and its properties will be unveiled during the October market in New York.
Bill 603 was introduced in California in July 2001. It proposes that all bedding products manufactured for sale in California, if they are deemed to contribute to mattress fire, must be fire-retardant.
Dan Schecter, vp sales and marketing, described Firestop as white in color with a "soft and luxurious hand."
The prime characteristic of the new fill is that it is designed to char in place with minimal shrinkage and minimal melting when subjected to an open flame, said Jeff Martin, product development manager.

The LSU Board of Supervisors Friday agreed to lease property at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center to the Recreation and Park Commission of East Baton Rouge Parish.
BREC is asking for a partnership to create a multi-use path that connects Kenilworth Parkway and Perkins Road Community Park to Quail Run Drive through Pennington Biomedical Center.
"Since BREC's mission is aligned with that of Pennington Biomedical in that we are both invested in helping people live healthier lives, we have reviewed their request internally and would to grant them permission to do this," William T. Cefalu, executive director of Pennington Biomedical wrote in a letter to LSU President F. King Alexander.
The path aims to provide an alternative mode of transportation and a recreational venue for citizens in East Baton Rouge Parish. The trail's proposed location at Pennington runs along Dawson Creek.
Since the multi-use path "provide a substantial benefit to LSU and its faculty, staff and students," BREC will not have to pay any additional rent.
The lease between the two parties is set to be for 20 years.

This might be a first: A new trailer for a movie without a title.
Flint native Michael Moore recently debuted a new teaser for a film due in theaters Oct. 2. Give it a look:
*Sniff sniff* -- smell that? It's sarcasm. For sure, "Untitled Michael Moore Project" will stir the pot of simmering outrage surrounding the current financial situation/meltdown/big ol' mess. Some stray observations:
Reminds me of "The Big One." Moore's tone recalls the time he presented an oversized check for 17 cents to a large corporation for its first man-hour of work in a sweatshop. (Frankly, it was one of few inspired moments in the movie, his mostly forgotten documentary follow-up to "Roger and Me.")
Old-school theater shout-out. Remember, back in the 1980s, when a celebrity would show up on-screen and ask for charitable donations, and ushers would walk around with a can for your coin? Ahh. Nostalgia. It's warm, like chicken-noodle soup.
Subject matter. Of course, he's going to attack large corporations with righteous fury. Will he tone down his righteousness to speak to people of all political persuasions? Ha ha ha ha ha! Silly question.
"This time it's personal." Wasn't that the tagline to "Jaws: The Revenge"? And haven't all of Moore's films been "personal" in some way? Maybe this is, uh, personal-er.

Catholic Leaders To Chop It Up
While we're on the subject of religion, we think it's worth pointing out that American Catholic leaders are meeting this week to strategize on how to make the church a more viable – and lucrative – spiritual organization. Among the topics to be discussed, leaders will mull over their stance on contraceptives, who should get Communion and – of course – the gays. The Washington Post reports:
In a national meeting to start Monday in Baltimore, the bishops were to consider new guidelines on ministry to gay parishioners, explaining the theological underpinnings of the Catholic mandate that marriage must be limited to one man and one woman.
The attention to core teachings comes as the 64 million-member American church faces a shortage of priests, low rates of Mass attendance and a massive influx of Hispanic immigrants.
So, wait: if the Catholic Church really wanted to gain more adherents, wouldn't it make more sense to work to include the homos? We're not religious experts or anything, but it seems that power comes from inclusion, not exclusion – especially when said group's got mad dough like the fags.
Also, if they're so concerned about saving money, why don't they stop having conferences where they talk about how they don't like homos. We get it: The Catholic Church thinks homos are sinners.
They've made themselves even more ridiculous than even I (jaded cow) could ever imagine. They are so grieviously stupid in the RCC, that they are stabbing their own church in the head, over and over again. Pity that none of the jabs hit Ratzo right in his stupidass head.

However, in the week that followed, Ginny and Lee Losowski, their 8-year-old daughter Rebecca, adult son Dave Dellavalle, 8-year-old granddaughter Bianca and Ginny's mother Joan Montheith realized that, though they are homeless and have hardly any possessions, they do have the support of a community determined to help them rebuild their lives.
"They say you're measured by your friends," said Lee Losowski. "Well, I really feel like a giant in our community now."
"The love and compassion we've been shown... I don't know how to put it in words," said Ginny Losowski. "I want to thank every friend, everybody; I'm just so overwhelmed."
The family moved to their newly built house on John's Way in 2008 from Oak Valley, Deptford Township, and said they were surprised at how friendly their new town was. Before the fire even was extinguished, this community rushed to the family's aid.
Two neighbors walked up to Lee at the fire scene and each put $100 in his pocket, he said incredulously, and neighbors Rony and Rocio Salvitera quickly let the Losowskis borrow their SUV. The very night the fire took place, neighbors who own De Olde Towne Tavern matched proceeds collected through a $5 cover fee and donated the whole pot to the Losowskis.
Ginny's friend Lisa Trexler and her 8-year-old daughter Gianna have been like members of the family, the Losowskis said, with Gianna playing with Rebecca and Bianca at the hotel and Lisa constantly juggling paperwork and phone calls to manage the countless details that need to be addressed.
At Seabrook School, where Rebecca and Bianca attend, a donation drive was held Tuesday with help from teachers including Dana Frazer, Jeanine Lancetta, Jennifer Afflerbach, Susan Griffith and April Anderson, as well as Principal Morris Gaburo and the PTO. Lee's employer, Blue Chip Technologies, and Vineland Rotary have provided storage space to house the items being offered to the family.
Alex Pipitone, a 13-year-old neighbor, contacted Texas Roadhouse to raise funds for the Losowskis by selling bags of the restaurant's trademark peanuts. The restaurant agreed to donate peanuts toward the effort, and bags can be purchased for a minimum donation of $5 each at the Quality Dental office in Upper Deerfield Commons on Highway 77, Quality Dental at 301 S. Main St. in Vineland, Williams Totally Tobacco Shop at 137 S. Delsea Drive in Vineland, at Hopewell Auto on Route 49 or by emailing Alex's mother Tiffany Hand Pipitone at email@example.com.
Monetary donations can be made at any Susquehanna Bank branch to the account of "Stefanie Modri c/o Montheith/Losowski Family Fund," and donations or gift cards also may be mailed to the Losowski/Montheith family, P.O. Box 482, Rosenhayn, NJ 08352.
Despite the outpouring of support, clearly, there have been tough moments. Ginny said the first night at their hotel, the glow peeking through the curtains from parking lot lights sent her into a fire-reminiscent panic, and the rain against her window sounded painfully like fire crackling. Rebecca heard the rain as well and yelled, "Curse you, Mother Nature," telling her mother it wasn't fair the sky would open up too late to put out the fire.
Ginny and Lee celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary on Nov. 29, and they lost the anniversary ring and pendant Lee had just given his wife, as well as all existing copies of their wedding photos. Rebecca grabbed her baby blanket on her way out of the house, and it's one of the family's only mementos left.
However, according to Ginny, "It's alright. We're alive. The fire department said they were amazed that six people walked out of that house alive."
According to Cumberland County Fire Marshal Rob Strain, the cause of the fire is still under investigation, but lessons already can be learned on the importance of working fire detectors and the usefulness of a fire-proof safe, which protected the Losowski's marriage certificate, Social Security cards, a will and a coin collection. The family also had practiced an evacuation plan including a meeting point across the street, which Lee credited with getting "two little girls out safely" as they fled quickly, following prior instruction, in their nightgowns.
Saturday, the family cat, made it out unscathed and is staying with one of Ginny's three formerly estranged sisters, with whom she has reconciled after the fire. Samson, the surviving family dog, was treated after the blaze at no cost by Dr. Bill McAlonan and is staying with neighbors Kathy and Sean Fallon.
The Losowskis expect their construction costs to be covered by their insurance policies and said there is "no doubt" they will be rebuilding on John's Way.
"When our new house is built and done, we're going to have the biggest, open town party to thank everyone," Ginny said.
They hope to move into their new home within nine months but are seeking rental housing in the meanwhile. Leads on 4-5-bedroom rentals can be sent to Lisa Trexler at 856-451-6610, ext. 229 or email@example.com.
"We're firm believers that everything happens for a reason," Trexler said. "We just have to take it one day at a time, one brick at a time."

Thomas, known on the circuit as The Black Widow, ate 445 oysters in 5 minutes, according to the event's organizers. You can see her at work below in a video submitted to AL.com While others struggle and stumble about their work, Thomas looks like a surgeon in fast forward.
Thomas is a veteran of the oyster game. At Acme Oyster House, a New Orleans landmark, she slurped down an astonishing 552 in 10 minutes, which remains a world record according to the International Federation of Competitive Eating.
To put the New Orleans feat into perspective, there are usually about 18 large oysters per pint when you buy them from a seafood shop. Assuming she was eating good-sized specimens, Thomas put away more than 30 pints of the slimy delicacies.
Friday's 5-minute competition, sponsored by Mobile-based Wintzell's Oyster House, was the first oyster contest at that length to be recognized by the IFCE, so, for now at least, Thomas holds that record, too.
Foodabluza continues today with more music and food at the Wind Creek Casino & Hotel. Tickets start at $30.
Today's entertainment features an Indian-taco eating contest. Thomas is, according to organizers, slated to compete.

For at least two Middle Paxton Township residents, the May 18 rainstorm May 18 was one of the worst since 1972.
At the board of supervisors meeting on June 6, resident John Reichard said his home and a neighbor's home were deluged with water. He blamed the problem on the township's new building.
A pond on the township's property that serves as a water retention basin overflowed, causing severe flooding on a nearby road.
"Our back porch is an enclosed porch. We had 2 inches of water," Reichard said. "The water rushed into my neighbor's back door and out his front door. He had at least 5 inches of water in one room."
Township officials said the basin is not complete. There are plans to add another retention pond and make improvements.

Legends of indie hip-hop and punk, plus an album sneak peek from a rising star, are all potential ways to spend your Tuesday, Feb. 11.
Sebadoh, Gasa Gasa, 9 p.m.
Founded nearly 30 years ago by former Dinosaur Jr. bassist Lou Barlow, Sebadoh was a pioneer of alt-rock's D.I.Y. punk aesthetic, with its idiosyncratic, distinctly lo-fi sound.
"Defend Yourself," out now, is the first Sebadoh studio album in 14 years.
Big Boy Records' "Daddy Money" album release party, Parish at the House of Blues, 10 p.m.
Juvenile and Mystikal are both on the bill for a show celebrating the release of Young Gabe's "Daddy Money," one of the first new projects from Big Boy Records in several years. In the '90s, the indie Big Boy – cofounded by producer Leroy "Precise" Edwards – was Cash Money Records' most significant rival, releasing early work from Partners-N-Crime, Mystikal and the late Sporty T.
Hurray for the Riff Raff listening party, Euclid Records, 6-8:30 p.m.
Singer-songwriter Alynda Lee Segarra celebrates today's release of "Small Town Heroes," her debut on the ATO Records label, with a brief performance and listening party at the Bywater record store.

Oliver Twist may be an orphan, but come this weekend he'll find a home in the City of Bayonne, as both Marist High School and Saint Joseph Catholic School students perform their version of "Oliver!"
Based on Charles Dickens' novel, "Oliver Twist," the musical depicts the well-known story of a young runaway orphan's search for family and love.
Throughout his journey, Oliver meets a variety of memorable Dickens characters played by 14 Marist students, plus 19 St. Joseph's elementary students who are part of the ensemble.
Director and drama teacher for both schools, Beatriz Esteban-Messina, opted for a less contemporary choice this year when she picked "Oliver!"
"We wanted to go back to a traditional Broadway show," she said. "It has a full traditional score and a true Broadway feel to it a real classic," Esteban-Messina told The Bayonne Weekly.
Sixth-grader Boaz Devenyi, 12, who will play Oliver, admitted he was surprised he earned the lead role.
"I didn't initially think I was going to be cast as Oliver because this is my first time being in a musical production," he said. "It was shocking, but the experience so far is great. I cannot wait for opening night."
The character of Fagin, played by Marist senior, Ryan Sims, is a completely different kind of character for the young actor."
""I can take his character and his grotesqueness and make it my own," Sims, 18, said. "Fagin is the mastermind among the criminals and the leader of the gang. Even though he is self-serving, he always shows the audience a trace of compassion, which I really try and make everyone see."
For 17-year-old Ellen Cavo, being in the musical "Oliver!" is meaningful.
"It follows a journey through a person's life that has gone through so much with death, and has to survive against the worst," she said. "Yes, it is a dark musical, but it certainly teaches you about life itself, especially in my character of Mr. Bumble. Though Mr. Bumble preaches Christian morals, he behaves without compassion toward the paupers under his care."
"Oliver!" will be performed tomorrow and Saturday at 7 p.m. at Marist High School, 1241 Kennedy Blvd., Bayonne. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and children. For information call St. Joseph's School at (201) 653-0128 or MHS at (201) 437-4545.

Have you been wondering if there is an easy fun way to go green? Well, my favorite going green idea is Farmers Market and my favorite time to go is right around the corner in Fall. You can get the freshest produce, because it was probably grown right in your neighborhood! It is also so much more than produce, you can find homemade jams and jellies, fresh butter and there are always great craft booths with handmade items. Farmers markets also allow you to meet the people that are growing your food, if you have questions, who better to ask than a real live farmer? This is a great green idea because it means that you are not paying a company to ship something all the way across the country and you are keeping you dollars local! So Farmers Markets are great for everybody, and just plain fun! If you are not sure whether there is a farmers market near you, to check out the Michigan Farmers Market Association's Web site. This will provide you with a list of Michigan farmers markets near you. Hopefully you can get to a market near you this season and find out why they are so great!
For a nice Fall side dish, try this Sweet Potato Casserole with sweet potatoes from your Farmers Market.
4-5 sweet potatoes (bake, cool & peel)
Mix together and add to potatoes:
½ cup butter
2 eggs
½ cup milk
1 ½ tsp vanilla
¾ cup sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup butter
½ cup flour
Mix butter (don't melt) and flour, will be lumpy. Stir in sugar and pecans. Sprinkle mixture over top of potatoes. Bake in a 9x13 glass baking dish at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes.

CES Chief Says That Obama Administration is Stifling Innovation
Jason Mick
January 8, 2010 12:40 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Aneesh Chopra
(Source: AFP)
CEA President Gary Shapiro says the government is silencing innovation
The Obama administration has already had a profound impact on technology. From
charging Intel with antitrust violations
taking majority ownership of GM and Chrysler
, the administration's actions have profoundly affected the tech landscape. And as new decisions, such as the
proposed ACTA treaty
Copenhagen climate promises
loom, the Obama administration is a hot topic at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show.
Obama's Chief Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra was in Las Vegas yesterday, but received a
rather icy welcome
from Consumer Electronics Association President Gary Shapiro, who admonished the Obama administration's approach on many topics.
He offered mild criticism of the bailout of the financial and auto sectors, which he called "panic spending". And he stated, "When it comes to innovation, there's a lot the government can do, and there's a lot they should not do. The government doesn't spur innovation or entrepreneurship. The government often gets in the way."
Mr. Shapiro complains that the Obama administration isn't doing enough to make sure that the U.S.'s trade policy allows our goods to compete with cheaper goods elsewhere. He also complains that they are dragging their feet about implementing measures to allow the faster transfer of tech savvy workers from nations like China and India.
An apologetic Chopra commented, "We have to eat our own dogfood. Gary is right about the federal deficit. We are in an economic crisis but we are going to tackle it. We have to get it right."
Mr. Chopra is a graduate of John Hopkins and worked in government and as the managing director at a health think tank before taking on the role of government CTO. The tech industry's leadership has thus far been rather mixed in their opinions on his leadership and that of the Obama administration.
"It's okay. The scenarios aren't that clear. But it's good looking. [Steve Jobs] does good design, and [the iPad] is absolutely a good example of that." -- Bill Gates on the Apple iPad

CAIR email alert: Muslim Groups Back Occupy Wall Street Protesters (CAIR) Muslims associated with the New York Chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations and the local Islamic Leadership Council came to express their grievances and to speak of social justice.
The only one missing at Hamas-linked CAIR Friday prayers at occupation Wall Street was Sheik Qaradawi.
Pamela Hall was at the CAIR Friday prayer -- takbir, indeed. Check out the scene at the CAIR propaganda hatefest encouraging Muslims to hate NYPD and FBI. They trade in hate and jihad.
The tool on the right is politician John Liu.
More Muslim Brotherhood CAIR subversion
I got about 25 minutes of prayers and taqiyya from the long-winded Imam Ayub Abdul Baki of the Islamic Cultural Center of NY . I edited his sermon and prayers down to approx 13 minutes. His rewriting of American history is bizarre. This is the Imam's brochure they handed out. Video here

Stockbridge High School football coach Jeremy Killinger didn't mind a little ice-water shower administered by seniors Jeff Showerman and Sean Boyce on Friday night.
Stockbridge celebrated its first league football title since 1979 with a 26-14 win over Western at Western High School. With the win, Stockbridge remained unbeaten at 7-0 and completed a perfect 5-0 run in the Southern Michigan Activities Association.
Stockbridge is just two wins away from its first unbeaten regular season since 1978.
"It's extremely cool," Killinger said. "It's never easy, though. Just when we think we've got Western on the ropes, they come back. They've got a good team, and they finished strong. There's no reason they can't get to the playoffs."
Junior quarterback Jeff O'Brien came up with big plays on both sides of the football for Stockbridge. He rushed for 193 yards on 27 carries, scored two touchdowns on short runs and came up with an interception near the Western goal line midway through the fourth quarter.
O'Brien also threw a touchdown pass in the first quarter to Dominic Busen. Nick Hoard scored Stockbridge's other touchdown.
"These kids have played together for a long time," Killinger said. "We've got a good mix of upperclassmen and lowerclassmen who want to be successful."
Stockbridge never trailed in the game.
Hoard opened the scoring with a 4-yard run with 7:58 to play in the first quarter. Following a Western punt, Stockbridge marched 80 yards and extended its lead to 14-0 on a 28-yard pass play from O'Brien to Busen.
Western (5-2, 3-2) answered in the final minute of the half with a 60-yard drive in eight plays and just 57 seconds. Quarterback Nate Sobania, who passed for 169 yards on a wet and windy night, hit Kurt Mick from 29 yards out to make it 14-7 at intermission.
O'Brien keyed Stockbridge's next scoring drive with a 60-yard run to set up his own 8-yard scoring run with 2:57 to play in the third quarter to make it 20-7.
Sobania and Mick, who had 139 yards receiving, hooked up again for Western, this time for 27 yards and a touchdown with 18 seconds left in the third quarter. Adam Coolbaugh added the extra point to make it 20-14.
Stockbridge scored the only touchdown of the fourth quarter on a 1-yard run by O'Brien with 9:12 remaining.
Western had three possessions in the fourth quarter and all ended in interceptions, including one by O'Brien and two by senior Ryan Thiffault.
Stockbridge outgained Western 409-81 on the ground and 440-250 in total offense. Western's leading rusher, Austin Maynard, was held to 42 yards on 14 carries.
"They game-planned to stop Austin, and we weren't able to execute well enough to make them do something else," Western coach Al Ennis said.
The loss leaves Western needing one win in its final two games — home against Ida next week or at Northwest in Week 9 — to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in school history.
"We've got two chances, and we don't want to let the first one go," Ennis said.

A Whale of a Tale
"I have been blessed with a great love of music but not much of a voice."
Whale of a Tale
That's Lois Finn whose rug 'Singing with the Angels' appears on Page 71 of 'A Whale of a Tale ... With Hooks, Lines and Singers' [Flanker Press].
Me too. I don't have much of a voice.
Lois, the tallest girl in the choir, confesses she was relegated to the back row of the school choir and told to "move your lips but don't make a sound."
Me too - kinda.
When I was a wee bay boy bawling out lines from my favourite radio tune - 'My Old Brown Coat and Me' by Doc Williams p'raps - Granny sometimes would say, "My love, can you go out on the verandah and do that?"
So who am I to be scribbling about a book designed to promote "the opportunity to combine music and art with the time-honoured tradition of rug hooking and story-telling"?
I may not have a note in my noggin, but I can appreciate the intentions and the accomplishments of the women who hooked the rugs that are the subject of this book, eh b'ys?
Marion Counsel explained why she had to re-work some sections of 'The City of Singing' on Page 2: "I had no choice but to pull out some strings ... and moved the heads of the notes to the left."
Apparently she'd made an error with the shape of the music notes pictured in her rug.
Way back in elementary school - elementary school! - I was obliged to draw treble clefts and their chums on the pre-lined pages of music scribblers. The true shapes of those notes have not remained in my skull so Marion could have fooled me.
Yet, like all true artists, since Marion wanted to get the details right she re-worked, revised and, prob'ly, even when she'd pulled the last thread through the burlap, wondered if there might be some final item she could add.
One of my favourite rugs is the 'Ode to Newfoundland', which appears on Page 10. Stretching horizontally across the center of the rug is "an abstraction that represents voices and the ode itself."
In the abstraction sounds are depicted as a waving blend of colours.
While I was looking at the picture and trying to decide what exactly I liked about it, a neurological condition - yes, a neurological condition - came to mind.
Synesthesia. I think I've spelled it correctly.
Yes, I checked.
People who have this condition - I almost said "suffer from" but that might not necessarily be true - see colours when all the rest of us hear sounds.
So, viewing 'Ode to Newfoundland' is a sort of synesthesia.
That make any sense?
'Dance the Song' on Page 61 caught my eye because - and I didn't really know this until I read the line - it is "about how belly dancing ... has moved to this province."
Belly dancing! What red-blood bay boy, or dottering old codger, for that matter, wouldn't pause to ogle the brightly coloured dancer shaking her boo ... no, shaking her belly and twirling in a blur of red, yellow and blue in dramatic contrast with the dark green and brown of her Newfoundland stage?
My very favourite - is that redundant? - is 'Little Girl in the Spotlight Stood' by Teresa Ennis on Page 16.
Forgive me, Teresa, if I've interpreted the rug's picture all wrong, or certainly not as originally intended. Blame it on my ancient presbyopic eyes.
Here's what I see.
A little girl coerced into singing in her school's spring concert. For sure she's nervous standing in the spotlight in her pretty yellow dress and her huge pink bunny ears. She seems to have her arms clamped angrily across her belly. I know that actually it's the sash of her dress, but 'arms' is how I first saw it.
Her blue eyes seem to be hauled down in a furious frown.
And b'ys, that little maid looks pissed.
Gotta love 'er!
In addition to the pictures of rugs, 'Whale of a Tale...' includes lessons and advice to follow when rug hooking.
For instance: "It takes practice to develop a comfortable hooking style."
Several years ago Missus decided to attempt rug hooking. She lugged all the paraphernalia into her sewing room and commenced to hook. She quickly became inpatient with her failure to develop "a comfortable hooking style."
Lacking this book's sensible advice, she soon resorted to vociferously voicing phrases that would make a rapper blush.
Thank you for reading.

Zombies look better in HD. So do meth chefs and sixties-era ad execs.
Under a new agreement with AMC, Rogers digital customers will be able to watch shows like The Walking Dead, Mad Men and Breaking Bad in HD by the end of March. That's in time for the season finale of The Walking Dead and ahead of the two hour season premiere of Mad Men on April 7.
The multi-year deal also allows you to access on-demand versions of your favourite shows soon after the TV debut. In addition, AMC content will be available to Rogers customers across multiple platforms.
Over the last few days, we've been clear that – despite reports to the contrary – we had no absolutely no intention of dropping AMC. It's unfortunate that some of you were worried by rumours about the channel going dark. In our business, contract negotiations with content partners are routine. Our goal is to get the best programming while keeping costs down for you. We believe we've accomplished that in these negotiations.
So, with that out of the way a more important question: Which character from an AMC program would you most want by your side in an HD zombie apocalypse: Michonne or Darryl from The Walking Dead? How about Don or Joan from Mad Men? Or maybe Walter or Gus from Breaking Bad?
Update March, 20, 2013: AMC HD is now available to Rogers Digital TV customers in Ontario on channel 482.
Keith McArthur is VP of Social Media at Rogers

GRAND BLANC, MI -- One way to get children to give up the Halloween candy they worked hard to collect would be to pay them.
And that's exactly what one area dentist office plans to do, but with a charitable twist.
Staff from the Dental Care Team office iin Grand Blanc, will host a candy buy back event on Nov. 2.
Children will be paid $1 for every pound of candy they bring.
Past weigher of the candy, Dental Care Team office team leader Sonya Gatica, said some children make off like bandits.
"Some kids get back $10, $15 or $20," she said. "They're very excited."
The event is not solely to aid in child cavity control, Sonya said.
Every dollar given away to children will also be matched by Dental Care Team staff and donated to the Children's Miracle Network.
The candy will be sent to California-based Operation Gratitude where it will be mailed across the world to United States military personnel.
This will be the fourth year the Dental Care Team has done the candy buy back.
About 400 pounds of candy collected from around 300 attendees was donated last year, Gatica said.
Although some of the candy is donated to the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan to give to families during the holiday season, Gatica said the majority of the yield ends up in the hands of the troops.
She said the troops often give the candy to the children of the country they're serving in.
Parents and children attending the buy back event will have a chance to write cards to military personnel that will be sent along with the candy. Other activities, including a bounce house, tattoo and face painting station, will be available as well.
The Dental Care Team office is located at 8189 S. Saginaw St. The event starts at 2 p.m. and ends at 6 p.m. For more information, call the Dental Care Team offices at 810-344-4174.

Civil War Re-Enactors Mark 150th Anniversary of Civil War's Start
By Magazine Editors | Online Only | Apr. 12, 2011
On April 12, 1861, the first shots of the Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter in South Carolina's Charleston Harbor. Early this morning, to mark the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the war, Civil War re-enactors raised a 33-star American flag over the fort, now a National Historic Monument, and fired several cannon shots.
Civil War battlefields such as The Wilderness in Virginia and Gettysburg in Pennsylvania have been recently protected, but despite these successes, many Civil War sites remain threatened by development.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has fought for decades to preserve Civil War sites, resulting in many important saves over the years.
The Civil War Trust released this list of the nation's most endangered battlefields last May:
- Camp Allegheny »
- Cedar Creek »
- Fort Stevens »
- Gettysburg »
- Picacho Peak »
- Pickett's Mill »
- Richmond »
- South Mountain »
- Thoroughfare Gap »
- The Wilderness »

Holly Fitzpatrick is shown in this undated photo. — Submitted photo
Holly Fitzpatrick has a year of experience under her belt, so she's prepared to give it her best shot in Halifax today.
Fitzpatrick, a 12-year-old member of the Deer Lake Skating Club, is a member of the Skate Newfoundland and Labrador delegation participating in the 2014 Skate Atlantica.
Fitzpatrick, daughter of Deer Lake's Dale and Patty Fitzpatrick, placed fifth in her age group in her debut last year.
"The overall experience was just amazing," Fitzpatrick said from Halifax earlier in the week. "Getting to meet new people and seeing where I placed in Atlantic Canada it was just amazing."
Fitzpatrick knows full well this time around that the field will be tough, but she's feeling a lot more confident than she did a year ago when she had no idea what would be awaiting her at a higher level of skating.
"I feel really good going into this one," she said. "I picked up my speed and I just feel good about the way I'm skating."
Winning a gold medal at the provincial Winter Games in Clarenville earlier this year was also a highlight of her skating season, but now she wants to end it on a strong note with a solid effort.
"I just want to have a nice clean skate, smile and be happy when I am finished," she said.
She figures her grouping will have around 20 skaters vying for top spot so she has set realistic goals heading into her debut.
"My goal is 12th, but I think I'm much capable of doing better than that," she said.
She's looking forward to another venture off the island and feels good about being part of a provincial group trying to turn heads on the mainland.
But, having a fellow skater from Deer Lake, 13-year-old Emily Goobie, along for the journey should make it that much more enjoyable.
"Last year it was nice, but this year having a friend going it's even better," she said.
As for lessons learned, she knew she had to work hard to improve her skillset if she wanted to move up the ladder this year against the best in her age group.
"I learned that I have to work harder," she said.
She's more than willing to do her talking on the ice and hope for the best.

Executives at office furniture makers and suppliers are feeling decidedly less optimistic about business.
The latest industry index from Michael A. Dunlap & Associates of West Olive registered a 49.21 for April on a scale of zero to 100, down from the January index of 52.44 and continuing a steady slide that began in mid-2007.
The personal outlook among executives responding to the quarterly Dunlap & Associates survey was 48.08, off slightly from the 48.18 three months earlier when it fell below 50 for the first time since the index began four years ago.
Among the 10 criteria used to compile the index, "this is the lowest set of index values we have seen at any time," said Michael Dunlap, an industry consultant and analyst.
Dunlap is "rather concerned" about the decreases in index ratings for personal outlook, gross sales, order backlog and employment, all of which dropped into the 40s, reflecting the slowing national economy.
"There is no doubt the industry is showing signs of weakness," Dunlap said, while noting the April survey also found "several bright spots, too."
Among them were improved ratings for hours worked, capital and tooling expenditures, and product development activity.
"I think we need to wait until the June and July figures to see if this is a short-term -- or a long-term -- outlook," Dunlap said.
He believes the overall index will rebound to above 50 in the next quarterly survey.
The current industry forecast from the Grand Rapids-based Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association calls for a 0.6 percent decline in industrywide shipment sin 2008, to $11.4 billion, and a subsequent 2.6 percent decline in 2009 to $11.1 billion.
An updated quarterly outlook from BIFMA is due soon.

A member of the Institute for Lifecourse & Society
The staff and students of the CDLP are profoundly grieved by the passing of Martin Naughton – one of the pioneers of the disability rights movement in Ireland and Europe. He was a perfect gentleman with a strong sense of people and place. He left a huge imprint on the evolution of the disability rights community both in Ireland and in Europe. In particular, the Irish and European independent living movements owe him a huge debt of gratitude. We were extremely proud to appoint him an honorary professor at the University where his wisdom was shared so generously with staff and students. He regularly chaired sessions at our International Summer School – most recently with Senator Tom Harkin and Assistant Secretary of State Judy Heuman. He never lost his love for his native Connemara and the Irish language. We will miss him terribly and will seek to honour his memory by trying to carry on his life's work as best we can.
Prof Gerard Quinn, Director.
NUI Galway's Centre for Disability Law and Policy project, The Voices of Individuals: Collectively Exploring Self-determination (VOICES) held a seminar on Criminal Responsibility workshop on the 23rd of September in the Institute for Lifecourse and Society, NUI Galway.
The seminar focused on rethinking criminal responsibility in light of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. A full summary of the day is available on the project website.
The Centre for Disability Law and Policy is deeply saddened by the news that Peter Lambreghts, Senior Officer of the European Network on Independent Living, has passed away.
Peter was also co-chair of the European Expert Group on Deinsitutionalisation and worked closely with us in his capacity to build more inclusive societies. We admired Peter's energy and commitment to fight for the rights of persons with disabilities and to help them live in dignity in the community. Peter will be greatly missed by the entire European disability movement and our thoughts are with his family in these difficult moments.
Inspired by Peter's legacy, we will continue our work to close down all institutions across Europe and make independent living possible for all persons with disabilities. May he rest in peace.
Prof Gerard Quinn, Director.
Catch up on all the Summer School 2016 proceedings including the keynote from US Senator Tom Harkin, on our YouTube channel.
We are excited to introduce a new independent initiative monitoring the use of the European Structural and Investment Funds, specifically the European Regional Development Fund and the European Social Fund, in the transition from institutional care to community based living across the life course - "Community Living for Europe: Structural Funds Watch". The website is now live at http://communitylivingforeurope.org. You can also follow the initiative's work on Facebook and on Twitter.
Central to the initiative's work is raising awareness of the significant potential of the Structural Funds that can and should be used to support the realisation of the right to live independently and be included in the community. The initiative seeks to build knowledge of the regulations and mechanics of the funds, highlight local, national and EU level actors who manage, monitor and control the funds, provide information on innovative uses of the funds in relation to community and family/family-like living for children and support services and empower civil society participation in this change process.
The initiative is guided by a Steering Committee comprised of organisations active in advocating for the new EU Regulations that govern the use of the Funds and which explicitly prohibit the building or renovating of long-stay residential institutions, regardless of their size, as this is not in line with EU legislation or the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The initiative is jointly funded by Lumos and the Centre for Disability Law and Policy.
The video above is a side event at CRPD Council of States Parties discussing National Human Rights Institutions and Implementing the Convention on 14 June 2016. The event was organised and co-hosted by the Asia-Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions (APF) and the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) and sponsored by the Permanent Missions of Australia, Germany, Ireland, Mongolia, Morocco and New Zealand. It features a discussion of NHRIs as a key part of the national and international monitoring with civil society. Professor Gerard Quinn speaks in his capacity as an independent expert at the 50min mark.
The UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Catalina Devandas Aguilar, launched a report, 'Article 33: Establishing a Monitoring Framework for the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities', on 9 May 2016. This evaluation report by Dr Eilionóir Flynn and Meredith Raley of the CDLP was commissioned by the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission.
The report focuses on the role of the independent monitoring mechanism in Article 33, which will oversee the implementation process. The report provides a variety of suggestions and examples of good practice, which will be useful as Ireland prepares to ratify the CRPD. The monitoring mechanism in the CRPD is a unique innovation among human rights treaties, which makes its correct implementation both a challenge and extremely worthwhile. The full report can be downloaded as a PDF here and in a machine readable version. More information on the launch can be found on the IHREC website.
This March saw the return of two eminent academics and friends of the CDLP for extended stays. Professor Kelley Johnson, Centre for Social Policy, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, is Visiting Professor at the CDLP until May. Professor Johnson has had a continuing interest in deinstitutionalisation, the barriers and facilitators to people with disabilities living good lives in the community, sexuality and relationships, and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability. She has been joined at the CDLP for four weeks by Professor Michael Waterstone, Loyola Law School (LA, USA) visiting as a Fulbright Specialist to initiate a deeper exchange of research and ideas about how to successfully pursue a strategy of deinstitutionalization and community living for persons with disabilities on both sides of the Atlantic.
Together they gave a seminar "Community Living Policy Innovations in the United States & Australia" in the Institute for Lifecourse and Society on Tuesday March 15th 2016 at which they spoke about the new US Federal Agency for Community Living (which combines Federal monies to assist States to transition from institutions into community living arrangements for both older people and people with disabilities) and the new National Disability Insurance Scheme in Australia (NDIS) which seeks to personalise services to make community living a reality for persons with disabilities. View the video of the event here.
Read more about Professor Johnson and Professor Waterstone here.
The Centre has enjoyed several visits from international fellows already this year. Read more about the visits from Dr Paul Harpur, TC Beirne School of Law, University of Queensland and Dr Nancy E. Hansen, University of Manitoba, Canada in our news page.
The hard-won economic recovery is now well underway. The Government deserves credit for this. But we now need a social recovery to match it – one based on the equal citizenship as well as productive capacity of persons with disabilities. All political parties need to address these reform challenges and show the voters they mean it. Otherwise they cannot claim the support of citizens with disabilities who have had to put up with a lack of innovation, bad services and low expectations. We – at the Centre for Disability Law & Policy at NUI Galway – contend that those who contend for high office have to provide convincing plans to meet the following challenges. Read more...
The CDLP, working with our partners on the PERSON project, submitted this detailed analysis on the proposed changes to the Council of Europe's Oviedo Bioethical convention. The call for submission related to proposed additional protocols on involuntary detention and treatment of people in psychiatric services. We point out where it fails to meet the standard of mental health care we can expect once services respect the Convention of the Rights of Person's with Disabilities.
The opening conference for the Voices of Individuals: Collectively Exploring Self determination (VOICES) project takes place on Friday, 26th February 2016 from 9.00 to 17.00 at Wood Quay Venue, Dublin City Civic Offices, Dublin 8. Confirmed Speakers include: Professor Gábor Gombos, Mr Rusi Stanev, The Honorable Kristin Booth Glen, Professor Michelle Anderson and Professor Christopher Slobogin.
The VOICES project will develop new approaches to the right to legal capacity for people with disabilities. Its aim is to explore the experiences of people with disabilities in exercising, or being denied, their legal capacity. The project will involve pairing people with a lived experience of legal capacity denial with scholars, activists and policy makers who will provide critical legal, policy and social responses to those experiences and jointly develop concrete recommendations for reform. The opening conference is designed to give people a sense of the project and more information about participating, prior to the first workshop in late April 2016. We hope it will be an interactive and thought-provoking event that will encourage people to take part in the project and share their experiences.
This is a free event but please
RSVP by 22 February as places are limited and refreshments will be provided. If you have any accessibility requirements please contact Clíona on ercvoicesnuigalway.ie

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Tuscaloosa County Commissioner Don Wallace announced Monday that he will seek the Republican nomination for county probate judge, according to a report by the Tuscaloosa News.
In a campaign announcement release, Wallace discussed the importance of long-term planning of projects including transportation, schools and parks.
"In my first six months as probate judge, I will work with the commission to develop a 5-10 year plan for Tuscaloosa County," Wallace said. "We have to be creative and responsible for our own needs, not always rely on the federal or state government."
Wallace said he would work to recruit businesses to the county and provide opportunities for development.
"With unemployment near 10 percent, we must improve the small business climate in Tuscaloosa County," Wallace said. "We can do that by reducing unnecessary regulations and offering incentives to develop our small business sector."
Wallace said his experience as commissioner and certified public accountant would give him a "new approach and vision" to the office of probate judge.
"I am a businessman, not a career politician, and I didn't become a Republican in order to seek a political office," Wallace said.
Tuscaloosa County Sheriff Ted Sexton began a campaign for probate judge in August after switching from the Democratic to the Republican Party in January.
The winner of the Republican primary will likely face Probate Judge Hardy McCollum, a Democrat. McCollum will be seeking a seventh six-year term as probate judge.
The primary election will be on March 13 and the general election will be held on Nov. 6.

Video of the electronic video guide for the Digital Stream converter
Editor's note: A co-worker here at The Press, Dan Hawkins, related his experience preparing for the 2009 digital TV transition. He did a quick and dirty installation on a digital converter and was extremely pleased. A reader had a question for Dan.
About the TV box for digital, edmicman wrote:
I've heard that some converters (this one maybe?) have or will have electronic programming guides (like your digital cable box) as well as some other features. Any comments on that?
Dan Hawkins replies:
Sorry not to get back to you sooner, edmicman. But you heard right. An Electronic Program Guide is one of the extra features I alluded to in my installation post.
This Digital Stream converter has it at the push of a button, first as a list of programs on the channel you're watching. If you select one of the programs, you'll see the show description. And with this model, the remote has a separate, easy-to-find button for the EPG.
The only way you won't get the guide, it appears, would be if the broadcaster doesn't put it into the digital feed.

'I'd just like to see a system that's more fair to all'
STEWIACKE – Progressive Conservative leader Jamie Baillie reiterated his pledge to scrap the "gold-plated" MLA pension plan here Monday.
© Raissa Tetanish - Truro Daily News
Jim Meadows, a resident of Stewiacke, walks with Progressive Conservative party leader Jamie Baillie following an announcement at Meadows' home. Baillie is making a commitment to scrap the "gold-plated" MLA pension plan if elected premier.
STEWIACKE – It may not effect Jim Meadows' bottom line, but he hopes to see Progressive Conservative party leader Jamie Baillie's plan to scrap MLA pensions come to fruition.
"Not specifically, I won't see much savings, but it's the perception more than anything," said Meadows, 65, a retired gas station manager without a pension from the employer.
"I'd just like to see a system that's more fair to all."
The 65-year-old and his wife, Judy, are both retired and have been living off Canada Pension Plan and old age pension.
"I've been retired for about six months now, and my wife just retired. We're going to manage," he said, while looking out over his property in Stewiacke after hosting Baillie for an announcement on the plan.
During the announcement, Baillie said Nova Scotians are paying $6 to MLA pension plans for every dollar the MLAs, themselves, pay.
"There's nothing special about being an MLA that means you should have a pension that is better than other people," said Baillie. "That's not right."
Part of Baillie's plan, if elected premier on Oct. 8, would be to create a citizen panel that would set the pay and benefits for their elected representatives. The current plan, Baillie said, would be scrapped in the first session of the legislature if he became premier.
"But that would be on one condition," Baillie said. "Any future plan would consist of no more than one dollar from an MLA and one dollar from the government. Pension plans are generally a dollar for a dollar.
"For me, that is the cap and any future plans would be subjected to that. It's the only way to be fair to people like Jim, who struggle to pay for a pension plan."
When asked about comparing this plan to other pension plans, Baillie said he didn't want to look to other politicians' plans.
"I want to compare it to other Nova Scotians'," he said.
If the plan is scrapped, Baillie said the proposed panel would consist of three to five "every day citizens," whether they would be appointed, could apply or interviewed for would be detailed when the time comes.
He said when he was trying to find "recruits" to run in the ridings throughout the province for the election, he was very clear to them.
"I told them there wouldn't be rich pension plans for them," if elected premier, he said. "I will rip up my own pension plan to prove that to them."

Noone at my school knows that i own any video game systems. Except my friends
I live like a double life. At school i am way differnt than i am at my house. At school im Mr. popular, than at my house im a nintendo nerd!! All of my friends know that i own video games and play them often, but my reputation at school, is way differnt.

Lol...couple of "Popular kids"in our school play runescape...if you heard its a pretty gay game.
I got nothing...
Runescape Isn't very fun. Call me a geek, but Puzzle Pirates is SO much fun to me. And it's free! I played for 6 or 7 hours one Saturday. I don't play it much anymore. After I sold my ship to get a stall (shop), which was really stupid, I didn't have much, My crew members never logged on anymore, and my best friend in the game didn't play anymore, plus I got the Nintendo Wii, so I just didn't play anymore. But when I get a laptop (for college) I'm going to make a new account, make a new person, and get back into the game.
Sorry for rambling.
at school im very very well known, (not saying im popular) just well known im very nice and very active hyper and funny make everyone laugh, and im chatty to about 60% of all our school.
but at home im quiet my family think im a loner lol, and im a computer addict

Not many people know I like to play video games, but even if they did it wouldn't bother me. People should like me for who I am, rather then what I do. Why should I be judged, or classed as "un-cool" if I play video games? Basically all of my friends have a video gaming system of some kind, and most people realise once they play the Wii that it's fun. Heck even my GF likes to play it, and she has never touched a video game in her life! So in summary, no not many people know, but it shouldn't matter either way.
I am a dreamboat on here, and I am a dreamboat in real life.
No difference for me.

Staten Island fast ferry after Sandy
Staten Island fast ferry after Sandy
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- What a relief!
South Shore commuters were overjoyed to exchange Monday morning's rush-hour traffic for seats on the new fast ferry from Great Kills.
In between reading newspapers and listening to music, many expressed thanks that they were finally getting a breather from the long trips to and from work after Hurricane Sandy strained the city's transportation system. Their only concern: That the service become a staple of Staten Island life.
"It's going to give me back hours of my life," said Cheryl Vetrano, whose commute between Annadale and Lower Manhattan expanded to two hours over the last few weeks. "This is a godsend. They have to keep it around."
About 34 people paid the $2 one-way fare and boarded the 7 a.m. boat out of the temporary landing at Gateway National Recreation Area. Borough President James Molinaro, City Councilman Vincent Ignizio, Assemblyman Joseph Borelli, city Department of Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan and Deputy Borough President Ed Burke joined riders for the trip. Sen. Andrew Lanza was also present.
"The people wanted it, and now it's up to them to keep it," Molinaro said. "It's either use it or lose it."
The ferries are expected to run for eight weeks, but Molinaro said the New York Water Taxi service could stick around longer if there is sufficient demand. "The main issue is attendance. People need to show that they want this to stay."
Ms. Sadik-Khan spearheaded the project, but said she worked closely with local officials to figure out the best way to help Islanders find an easier way to work.
"We're in this boat together, and we're certainly in that boat together today," she said moments before boarding for her first trip.
Christina Tagliaferro had a smile on her face as the boat made its first stop, at Pier 11. She just bought a condo in Great Kills, and said the fast ferry would cut hours from her commute to midtown.
"I was doing cartwheels when I heard about this," she said. "Just keep it," she pleaded, before heading off the boat.
There are six trips in the mornings, between 6 and 9 a.m. The boat stops at Pier 11 on South Street, near Wall Street, then at 35th Street. In the afternoon, ferries will depart from East 35th Street every half hour from 4:45 to 7:15 p.m. and from Pier 11 in 30-minute intervals from 5 to 7:30 p.m.
Alex Leatherman of Great Kills said the fast ferry gave him some extra time in the morning to go for a run and have breakfast.
"It's nice not having to get up as early," he said, estimating he'll save about an hour in the morning. "Even if they charged more, I'd definitely pay. It's worth it."
As the boat made its way along the waters of Midland Beach, past the FDR Boardwalk and under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, some commuters slept while others gazed out the window for a unique view from the water.
Longtime Eltingville resident Rich Woytowich stood and took pictures out the window. Now retired, Woytowich couldn't resist the maiden voyage. "I never got to sail in these waters before. I'm just here for the ride," he said.
Woytowich returned to Great Kills via the fast ferry nearly 12 hours later.
"It's a fine ride," he said before boarding the shuttle bus out of the park.
Michael DePaolis of Eltingville agreed, calling it an excellent transportation choice. He and others recommended the fresh ride go from temporary to permanent.
"They need to keep it. It's perfect, plus I was actually able to relax," he said, adding the approximately 50-minute ride is pleasant. "I don't need to change from the [Staten Island Ferry] to the train."
"It's definitely helpful for the South Shore people," said Anthony Gianino, who rode the boat with his brothers, Carl and Frank. The trio said the trip absolutely beats traffic on the highway.
"It's not so bad compared to an hour and a half [of traffic] on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway," added Carl, who enjoyed the scenic, unfamiliar voyage.
Before disembarking on the Manhattan side, Mrs. Vetrano stopped to thank Molinaro and Ms. Khan for their efforts.
"I no longer feel like we're part of the forgotten borough," she said.
The complete ferry schedule can be found on the DOT's website.

The Boston Red Sox will start the playoffs with a four-man starting rotation. It will consist of Jon Lester, John Lackey, Clay Buchholz and Jake Peavy.
The names are set. The order? That might have to wait.
If you caught the Red Sox game against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night, you were witness to a very subpar outing by one of the Red Sox most consistent starting pitchers of 2013.
Yep, John Lackey kicked it old school on Tuesday. Unfortunately, it was a throwback to his 2010 and 2011 days as opposed to the more favorable throwbacks to 2007.
Lackey got hit. He wasn't awful, but three of the six hits he allowed were home runs.
The simple fact is that Lackey has been better -- actually, a lot better -- at home than on the road this season.
The splits are pretty stark.
Lackey has made 13 starts at Fenway Park this season. He's 6-3 with an ERA of 2.47. He's allowed eight home runs in 91 innings, and has a WHIP of 1.033. Those are very good numbers.
Lackey has made 16 road starts. He's got a 4-10 record and an ERA of 4.48. He's given up 18 home runs in 98 innings pitched and has a WHIP of 1.271. Those are not great numbers. They're not terrible either, but the difference between his home and road numbers can't be ignored.
What those types of splits mean is that, if the Red Sox are able to secure home field this week, then Lackey would seem like a logical choice to pitch Game 1 or Game 2 in Fenway Park.
Odds are that it would be Game 2, with the opener entrusted to Jon Lester, who has been the Red Sox's best pitcher since the All-Star Break.
If the Red Sox were to lose home field for the ALDS, then Lackey would seem like a wiser choice to start either Game 3 or 4 at Fenway Park.
Lackey isn't the only Red Sox starter with better home numbers than away numbers. Jon Lester's home-road splits favor Fenway as well.
The gap isn't as vast though.
The Red Sox are a better team at home than on the road, so it stands to reason that their starting pitchers would have better numbers at Fenway than on the road.
The Lackey splits are the most dramatic among the staff.
Clay Buchholz's numbers are exceptional regardless of location, but they have been impacted by his injuries. He's actually been better on the road than at home. A 5-0 record with an ERA of 0.95 makes Buchholz a natural choice to start road games in the playoffs.
Add all the various factors up and it would seem that the postseason rotation will probably have Lester as the No 1 starter and Peavy as the No. 4 guy. The Red Sox could switch Lackey and Buchholz around depending on whether or not they're lined up to pitch at home or on the road.
The Red Sox lack that big name on their pitching staff. There's no Clayton Kershaw, Justin Verlander, David Price or Max Scherzer.
Then again, a glance at the teams in the playoffs reveals a number of teams who lack big name starters.
There's no clearly defined ace on the AL West Champion Oakland A's.
If the Cleveland Indians end up as one of the American League's wild card teams they're another squad without a real superstar starting pitcher.
The Atlanta Braves have the best record in the National League, and there's no standout singular staring pitcher there either. Instead, they boast a trio of very promising arms in Kris Medlen, Mike Minor and Julio Tehran.
The Red Sox might not have the best pitcher, but from No. 1 through No. 4, their starting rotation is as good as anyone's, and they've got the best offense in all of baseball to lend it run support.
The Red Sox are going to enter the playoffs with a very formidable starting rotation. The exact order isn't set just yet, but the starting rotation which was one of the worst in all of baseball in 2012, looks as good as just about anyone's entering the 2013 postseason.
