Newcomer Richard Bush will replace incumbent Richard "Festus" Hagins on the Hayden Town Board.
Of the four trustee candidates seeking three seats on the board, Bush received the most votes in Tuesday's municipal election. Of the 142 votes cast in the election, Bush received 117, election judge Beth Sundberg said.
Also elected to the Town Board were incumbents Lorraine Johnson with 98 votes and Ken Gibbon with 91 votes. Incumbent Richard "Festus" Hagins received 68 votes, not enough to return to the board, Sundberg said.
Mayor Chuck Grobe, who ran uncontested for his third consecutive term, received 119 votes, Sundberg said.
Bush, who ran mostly on his personal stance of wanting to be more involved with town issues, said he was surprised with outcome.
"The most surprising thing was being the new person and getting the most votes," Bush said. "It was interesting. You never know what people will think or do."
Bush said some people mentioned to him that "they wanted new blood" on the board.
"That doesn't give me much credit, but I'll take it anyway," he said with a laugh. "This will give me a chance to learn more about (town government)."
Gibbon said he thought Bush received so much support because of his work to start a soccer program in town and his recent completion of a cross-country ski trail.
"He built a name for himself that way," Gibbon said. "But it's too bad to see Festus out. He has always put in 110 percent, and his heart is really in the town."
Hagins, who has been a trustee for two terms and mayor for one term, said he had no hard feelings about the loss.
"I am retied now," he said. "I came into this saying if citizens wanted me on, then they should voice their opinions and vote for me. But my time there is over. I wish the best of luck to everybody as they move forward.
"My son will probably be happiest of all, because I will get to spend more time there. Now I can work in the garden and play a lot of golf. I plan on taking it easy and coaching baseball. I also plan to keep track of what's going on, but I'm going to take a break."
Johnson, who received the second most votes for a trustee candidate, said she believed she had the town's backing, particularly from fellow business owners.
"I based my decision on running again from people in the commercial district asking me to stay on board," Johnson said. "Some business owners said, 'You have to run to keep the commercial representation.' But I feel, as an individual board member, that I represent the town as a whole, not just a select few. I would like to thank public for having faith in me and reelecting me to the board."
Gibbon said he was curious about the outcome, particularly because of his firm stance on annexation and growth in town. In a previous interview, he said this election would be a referendum on how Hayden will be developed, and if residents do not want to annex new ground now, to vote for him.
"Woo hoo!" Gibbon said. "I challenged the voters to vote for me on smart managed growth, and that's what this victory was for. This is monumental for Hayden on how we proceed from here."
At the end of this term, Gibbon will have been a trustee for 14 years.
"I'll be done, unless I run for mayor," he said. "Who knows? Four years is a long way away. It's really fun to still be involved after 10 years. It's been like a roller coaster ride."

Water pressure clunk noise
Model Number: 80 series-hev. duty Brand: Kenmore Age: Less than 1 year
Just replaced all water lines in the house with a corresponding increase in water pressure. Also new washer hoses (ACE lifetime rubber with metal braiding). NOW everytime the washer's water cycle turns on- it makes a loud cut-on clunk or thud noise. Anybody know why, and how? thanks Related Models |

From your description, my first guess would be that you did not install vertical air cushions on your new wate lines???? Now, you have increased water flow/pressue and when the water starts to flow or shuts off, you are hearing the "water hammer" when the flow stops. An air cushion is necessary to provide a "shock absorber" to dampen out the quick flow change.
At each faucet or outlet (hot & cold), a vertical, deadheaded tube (so it will only hold air, not water) needs to be installed to allow for an air cushion to absorb the shock of rapid water flow changes when the faucet is opened or closed. Hope you can understand what I'm suggesting. If not, check out some basic plumbing sites on line. A "Google" search found this site which may help you. See: The Natural Handyman's Water Hammer Page or other similar sites. Good Luck.

The Temple—I'm Going There Someday
In recent years, the Church has been building more and more temples. Temples are places of love and beauty. Heavenly Father wants all of us, His children, to have the opportunity to go to His temples and receive all that is necessary to be with our families forever and to return to live with Him someday. In temples, we are taught Heavenly Father's plan for us. There we can be sealed together as eternal families, and we can perform the ordinances necessary to provide our ancestors with these same blessings.
You can begin preparing now to go to the temple by increasing your faith in Jesus Christ, learning to recognize and follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost, and keeping the commandments. As you memorize and learn about the scriptures on the poster, be prayerful. Your love for temples and your desire to live worthily to go there someday will grow.
Remove the poster from the magazine. Cut along the dotted lines above the name of each month.
Cut out the pictures at the side of the poster and place them in an envelope.
Cut out and color one of the two figures holding a suitcase. Cut out the window in the front of the suitcase. On the back of the suitcase, fill in your name and the name of the temple you are preparing to attend. Fold the suitcase in half and glue the side and the bottom edges together. Leave the top open.
If possible, glue the poster onto lightweight cardboard. Be careful not to put glue around the slots in the poster where the suitcase will go. If you wish, glue a picture of the temple closest to your home over the illustration of the Salt Lake Temple. Hang up the poster.
Starting in January 2002, at the beginning of each month, read the theme and memorize the scripture on the pathway. Pack the picture for the month in your suitcase, with the picture showing through the window. Slide the suitcase into that month's slot on the pathway to the temple. As the year progresses, your suitcase will become filled with things that will teach you more about the temple and help you prepare to go there someday.
Additional copies of the poster are available from Church distribution centers.

The Temple—I'm Going There Someday
I love to see the temple.
"Who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart" (Ps. 24:3–4).
My family can be together forever through the blessings of the temple.
"And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven" (Matt. 16:19).
The temple is the house of the Lord.
"Establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God" (D&C 88:119).
The temple brings the blessing of heaven to earth.
"And, if you keep my commandments and endure to the end you shall have eternal life, which gift is the greatest of all the gifts of God" (D&C 14:7).
My body is a temple.
"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? … For the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are" (1 Cor. 3:16–17).
Temples are a sign of the true Church.
"I command you, all ye my saints, to build a house unto me" (D&C 124:31).
Temples bless Heavenly Father's children throughout the world today.
"And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, … and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths" (Micah 4:2).
We serve others through temple work.
"And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers" (Mal. 4:6).
I will live now to be worthy to go to the temple and serve a mission.
"He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me" (John 14:21).
I prepare to go to the temple as I follow Heavenly Father's plan for me.
"We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost" (A of F 1:4).
I am thankful for temple blessings.
"Let the hearts of all my people rejoice, who have … built this house to my name" (D&C 110:6).
When Jesus comes again, He will come to the temple.
"And if you are faithful, behold, I am with you until I come—And verily, verily, I say unto you, I come quickly" (D&C 34:11–12).

(You won't notice that it is thicker at all.) I made a call with it, side by side with my 1st generation iPhone, and the reception is noticeably better as well. I can't even believe this is frigging AT&T anymore. I'd called Lisa and asked her if she noticed if it was clearer or not. She replied, "It's a lot better, but it's also better that you're actually calling me." A tough crowd. Advertisement The reception increase is partly to do with the new plastic back. There are 10 radio bands in here, counting 3 GSM bands, 4 3G bands, and Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. (And one more I don't know?) I don't know how scratch resistant I believe it will be, but Apple says it will be more durable. It looks EXACTLY like the leaked images from awhile ago that were chalked up as iPhone 1 cases.Apple wouldn't say why 3G life was so good, but I picked up a hint that it was both software and newer 3G chips up to the task. Advertisement 3G data on the maps and browser were only slightly slower than Wi-Fi.The locator tech wasn't working for me, on Maps. It spun and spun, probably because I'd turned the Wi-Fi off. I noticed that the iPhone asked me for permission to give both the maps program and the camera app permission to use my location. It reminded me a bit of a Vista security prompt. It's my phone, of course it can use my location. The camera app was actually using it to do geotagging!(The camera itself was not noticeably improved.) Sponsored The black is very very nice. The white? It's ok, but very feminine, so maybe it's good for Jason or Jesús.I felt the screen wasn't as smooth as the previous, but that could be the fact that there was zero grease on it, unlike my personal phone. The screen's glass and LCD are identical to the previous iPhone's. Advertisement There still isn't any cut and paste, and Bluetooth software hasn't been updated to do A2DP, but the very smooth (and impossible to derail from Apple Messaging) Greg Joswiak didn't say the hardware wasn't improved. I asked if audio streaming was coming, and he looked hesitant to answer. (I'll take that as a yes.) Before he could answer, I spoke for him. "We don't comment on future product announcements." They also denied me a chance to take a photo.There was a dock, very thin and rounded, with the phone sticking out of the face (there was no border from the dock obscuring the view. I also saw a 2 prong USB power plug much smaller than the old adapter.Lastly, the metal buttons were chromed, and I frankly liked the black ones better. But these feel more precise, and indeed, the lock button is slightly more recessed than on the first generation phone. The buttons were not made metal for durability reasons, either; this was a pure design decision. Advertisement I also played Super Monkey Ball during my 15 minutes with the iPhone. I didn't like how to control the game, I had to set the screen to viewing angles that would compromise my view of the screen. But I did catch on how to play within a few seconds.Audio? It was definitely clearer than the single mono speaker in the first iPhone. (Even if this one is not stereo either.)Nothing much has been left unimproved. If you're going to stick with ATT for awhile, $200 seems like a good deal for such improved hardware. What's cool is that since the App store and a lot of the functionality in software will be coming to the first gen iPhone, current users don't really have to feel the pressure to upgrade. Me? I'm certainly going to. Reply200 repliesLeave a reply

Tell me, Dear Reader, what are you thankful for?
Photographs by Boy Fenwick
The View From Darlington House
A sheaf of wheat decorating our dining room for Thanksgiving at Darlington House |
Thankful to have discovered such a wonderful, intelligent blog! And, of course, also thankful for family, friends, and every single day I struggle through.
Bless you!
Each and every day I give thanks for so many sundried items, people, places and things. Most of all, I celebrate life full of gratitude and in earnest hopes to leave behind the world a more thankful place.
We owe much thanks to our fore fathers on Thanksgiving day and beyond. When we think of life in terms of heirlooms or legacies or empires we can all strive for greatness and gratitude.
Of course, I am thankful for my family, my lovely husband and our faithful and endearing dog.
I am thankful for after years of health issues that I was finally diagnosed with the insidious addison's disease. I'm on the road to a complete recovery with the help of medication lots of physical therapy. I could not be happier.

My code compiles is fine except that the intersects method (I have also tried it as a contains method) does not act or something.
Here it is:
this is within my action performed method and should worth with all the rest of what I've written. Basically what is should do is if the create hits the cart then it re-positions itself and a number goes down but none of that happens. to gain the positions that are always changing I use this code:Code:if(comCart.getPosition().intersects(dropCreate.getPosition())){
dropCreate.getPosition().x = 544;
dropCreate.getPosition().y = 0;
it works in another part of this program so I don't think it's that though. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. I have looked around for examples on this kind of stuff what they are all written in the same classes so it's easier for them to refer to things and looks different to how I need to write it... I think any way.Code:public Rectangle getPosition() {

Young linemen step up, Bullard, Fowler help stop Tigers
Published: Saturday, November 3, 2012 at 6:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 3, 2012 at 6:09 p.m.
Florida freshman defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard played Saturday's game against Missouri with a heavy heart.
Bullard had returned home to his native Shelby, N.C., on Friday to visit his grandmother, who is gravely ill.
"Whatever he needed, he knew we were there," Florida defensive lineman Sharrif Floyd said. "We just gave him our respect for coming back and playing the game for us. That's hard to lose a family member, especially if you're so close to her."
Florida received big contributions from both Bullard and freshman Dante Fowler Jr. in its 14-7 win over Missouri. The duo combined for eight tackles, 2.5 sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss.
The Gators needed both Fowler and Bullard to step up with senior defensive lineman Lerentee McCray out with an ankle injury.
"It's special just to see how much they've grown from the time they first got here," Florida senior defensive lineman Omar Hunter said. "They're starting to really learn this system, this defense, and it's special watching those two guys out there competing."
Fowler forced Missouri quarterback James Franklin into an intentional grounding penalty for a sack. Bullard broke through the middle of Missouri's line for one sack and teamed with Dominique Easley for another one.
Florida coach Will Muschamp said both five-star recruits needed to adjust to the mental intensity of college football earlier this season.
"It's very difficult for a freshman to walk into a situation at a place like Florida to really contribute and play quality, quality snaps," Muschamp said. "And both of those guys … I think the older guys have done a great job with them. They've made them accountable to learn what to do and how to do it and they've understood the mental intensity you've got to play with, the way we play."
The message that the upperclassmen have given Fowler and Bullard — don't mope over bad plays and play hard each snap.
"They add a lot to our defense and they are going to do great things for this program," Floyd said. "I was excited to have them out there, just listening to hear how they react to big situations and the mental approach they take to it."
It was a big day for the entire UF defensive front. The Gators finished with four sacks and eight quarterback hurries, mostly with just a four-man rush. Bullard finished with three of the eight hurries.
"It was big," Hunter said. "Guys in the secondary could cover down on the field and not have to worry about the quarterback. It was big just to get the pressure with the four-man rush."

Revision as of 17:51, April 26, 2006
Saint Cosmas the Hymnographer, the Bishop of Maiuma (8th century) was a hymn-writer of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the foster-brother of St. John of Damascus. The teacher of the two boys was an elderly Sicilian, also named Cosmas, who had been freed from slavery by St. John's father. St. John and Cosmas went from Damascus to Jerusalem, where both became monks in the monastery of St. Sabas near that city.Cosmas, however, left the monastery in 743, when he was appointed Bishop of Maiuma, the port of ancient Gaza on the southern coast of Phoenicia. The Church observes his feast on October 12. As a learned prose-author Cosmas wrote comments on the poems of Gregory of Nazianzus; as a poet he is regarded by the Orthodox Church with great admiration. It considers Cosmas and St. John of Damascus the best representatives of the later Greek classical hymnology, the most characteristic examples of which are the artistic liturgical chants known as canons.
The hymns of Cosmas were originally intended to add to the interest of the services at Jerusalem, but through the influence of Constantinople their use became universal in the Greek Orthodox Church. It is not certain, however, that all the hymns ascribed to Cosmas in the Greek liturgical books were really his compositions, especially as his teacher of the same name was also a hymn writer.
Collections of hymns, varying in number, are attributed to Cosmas, and may be found in Migne, Christ-Paranikas, Anthologia graeca carminum christianorum.

AMHERST, N.Y. (AP) -- Authorities say two students have suffered minor injuries in a fire inside their dormitory room at the University at Buffalo.
University police tell local media that the fire broke out shortly before 6:30 p.m. Thursday in a fourth-floor room of the Spaulding Quadrangle in the Ellicott Complex on UB's North Campus in suburban Amherst.
Firefighters extinguished the blaze in about 20 minutes. Students were evacuated from the building but were allowed to return to the lower floors later Thursday night. Students living on the fourth floor spent the night elsewhere.
Officials say a male student and a female student living in the room where the fire occurred were treated at a Buffalo hospital.
Fire officials say the fire was caused by careless use of smoking materials. Smoking is banned inside buildings at UB.

Electronic Textbooks: Changing The Way Professors Teach and Students Learn
Jul 17, 2001, 01:00 ET from Rovia
BOSTON, July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- The ritual of college students poring over textbooks with highlighter in hand will be changing at many campuses this September as increasing numbers of colleges expand their curriculum to include online textbooks. Accessing digital textbooks is simple, according to Andres Nannetti, CEO of Rovia (www.rovia.com), a Boston-based provider of secure, electronic distribution infrastructure. A student goes online, downloads the reader software, and searches for their assigned textbook(s). Rather than paying for the entire book, they rent access to either specific chapters, or the entire text. Digital textbooks often include special features, such as the ability to highlight text, electronically bookmark pages, or even Instant Message (chat) with other classmates online. With most digital textbooks running about one-third of the price of print versions, they also aid students where it helps most - their checkbook. "I would love to see more digital versions of my textbooks," said Allison, a senior at Syracuse University. "Buying ten books or more each semester, plus lab guides and other workbooks ... it really adds up." For professors eager to engage students in coursework, electronic textbooks provide a new way to communicate with students outside the classroom. For example, they can annotate students' digital textbooks with insights, provide special guidance, or flag important information for a quiz. ETextbooks also enable professors to facilitate online study groups and offer one-click access to Websites and other multimedia tools referenced in the text. "In the past, students had limited digital textbook options because publishers worried about copyright infringement," says Nannetti. "But now that textbook publishers have noted the prevalence of the 'wired campus' and embraced new eTextbook technology, students returning this fall will find many textbooks available digitally." Most college students today, born in the early 1980s, have never used a printed encyclopedia; so using a digital textbook should be a natural transition. In fact, according to many professors it appears these students are actually more comfortable learning in a digital environment. With the ability to update information continuously, professors are finding digital textbooks to be much more flexible than printed versions. Most print textbooks are updated every three years or so, and information becomes outdated quickly. For professors teaching technology, or other dynamic curriculums, three years is a lifetime. "Today's college student has grown up with real-time information, and interacting with multimedia features. The ability to quickly update and customize the digital texts is a key benefit for their use in the classroom," said John Pietsch, coordinator of information services at California Polytechnic University's center for teacher education. "I teach technical and business writing courses for students pursuing careers in technology," says Johndan Johnson-Eilola, technical communications professor at Clarkson University and director of the Eastman Kodak Center for Excellence in Communications. "Online pedagogy better prepares students for their post-graduation work as so many of their careers will revolve around the Internet." With the publishing industry in the process of building its digital title portfolio, students and professors are ready to make the switch. So, when your child comes home from campus this fall without books, don't be concerned ... they're online.

What a nice surprise. We stopped here for an overnight stay on our annual trip from Wisconsin to Arizona. I'm not a fan of chain motels, but decided to give this a try. Everything was way beyond my expectations. The facility is new, very attractive, and spotless. The staff was welcoming and friendly; the breakfast was very good; and then there was the mattress. Most comfortable mattress I've slept on in a long time. Overall a great place to stay. Would definitely stay here again
The drive felt much further than I anticipated. The Best Western is easy to find and access in Pratt. It is a very nice facility. After an excellent night sleep back on the road and look forward to returning to this hotel in the future.
There isn't much around the hotel to see and do, but it's a comfortable place to stay. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was fine. The pool is pretty small, but okay. We appreciated the laundry facilities. Staff was very nice.
Good rooms, very comfortable, great breakfast. Front desk could have been friendlier, but they were helpful. I liked it because it was easy on and off from the highway. Maids did leave my hotel room door open which was of a concern. They also used the toilet and left the lid up indicating it had been used. I called the front desk and they said, oh the maids probably come into the room.
Highly suggest the BW! I have nothing bad to say. Clean, extremely comfy, coffee available when I wanted it in the lobby. I didn't actually eat the breakfast, as I wasn't hungry, but I was very impressed with the huge dining area, and the appearance of the all food I seen when I went for coffee. ??
Staff was very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful by offering to keep the pool open past closing time. Hotel was very clean. Breakfast was great with many choices...flavored made-to-order pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs. Breakfast area was kept clean with lots of seating.
This hotel is awesome! The employee at ck in was very nice and helpful. The spacious rooms are immaculate! The shower has great water pressure,the bed is oh my gosh,super fantastic!!!! The heating and AC are great! Can't wait to return to this one!!!
Had an enjoyable stay in Pratt. The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was great. The location is close to the college as well as to restaurants. The stay was very enjoyable and will be the place I stay the next time I am in Pratt.
Rooms very nice and employees very friendly and helpful. Toto (pet) enjoyed it very much as well. Breakfast bar was wonderful, presented well and the best we can remember for a long time. We both commented on how good it was. Yes we will drive a few extra miles to stay there again.
We checked in late and left very early in the morning so we did not see too much of the facility. The room was new, clean. We stayed here with our dog and it was very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.
This is a very nice and quiet hotel. Everyone was so nice and helpful. The hotel is away from some of the restaurants but I would recommend that you go downtown and eat at Woodys. It has great food and great prices. We thoroughly enjoyed the food.
Fairly smooth check in. Nice and clean room, med size ref. Comfortable bed. roomy bathroom. Nice Pool and spa area very relaxing after a hard hot day.Quiet easy access from front and back of building.Well lighted.
The hotel has large rooms and is very clean, good free breakfast, nice pool and gym. The staff was great. The rooms have a new type of keyless entry that worked well. The entire hotel was very clean and provided a laundry.
I was in Pratt on business and the company I was working for booked me into the Best Western. I had a very comfortable stay. The hotel is conveniently located and everyone one friendly and helpful. Breakfast was convenient and good quality and well stocked even when the hotel was full.
The hotel was very convenient and affordable for the family reunion we attended. I was from the area and I go back each year to attend the reunion. It was nice to be able to choose from a multiple hotel group to stay at
very modern, clean and with nice amenities. comfortable beds, microwave and fridge in room, I would stay here again....nice staff, very freindly and helpful the pool is nice, would like a patio or sun deck, but the hot tub was nice and the area very clean. pet friendly too, and close to the community college and just a half mile from downtown Pratt, grocery stores, shopping and dinning.
Was planning to stay at Wichita but didn't like the reviews so we stayed here. What a great choice, They have a mobility accessible room which was great for our daughter. It exceeded our expectations: lots of room to maneuver wheelchair. Did not have a roll-in shower, but it does have a seat in the tub with hand- wand. Lifts for both pool and hot tub. Breakfast had the usual plus well-seasoned scrambled eggs and sausage. Plenty of parking. This is what a hotel SHOULD be.
The hotel looked very new and clean. The staff was dressed nice in their uniform but were a little rough on courtesy. Breakfast was good. Pool was fun. While we were there it rained and the area around our window leaked. It was not bad a first but then we had to put a bucket under the window. It dripped all night into buckets and we didn't get a good night sleep. The hotel was full so we could not be moved. We were not offered a discount and I don't recall anyone saying sorry about this. They were quick to bring us buckets so I wonder if it had happened before. If it would not have rained it would have been a great experience.
My daughter and I were put into a YUGE room with two queen beds, and the room was spacious and clean, though soundproofing could have been better. AC worked both efficiently and quietly. Breakfast was above and beyond expectations. Pool was very pleasant, though highly chlorinated, and hot tub was just right after long day on the road. Internet worked perfectly. We'd stay again, absolutely. We've stayed in worse for more; very good value.
The Pratt Best Western PLUS is a great place to stay at an acceptable price. The rooms are clean and nicely designed. This our 4th stay over the last couple of years. I look forward to the Pratt stay on our trips to and from Arizona.
Had a great experience. Clean, comfortable and affordable hotel. The bed was very comfortable. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Plenty of breakfast items to choose from.
We were extremely satisfied with the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff at the front desk. We rolled into the hotel late on motorcycles just ready to get off and not ride another minute, there's no restaurants within walking distance, but the hotel offered Hungry Man TV dinners and microwave Chinese dinners. Not exactly a perfect supper, but when you just want to relax, it was better than a vending machine candy or crackers. It's a quiet location! Nice hotel. Nice hot breakfast including pancakes!
Brand new hotel. Internet - great! Breakfast - great! Staff - great! Room overall - great! Bed - great! Lots and lots of parking - great! If you aren't satisfied with this hotel your'e just too picky!
Clean good bedding TV Shower and water..Quick on/off highway gas close by. Great breakfast: Sausage potatoes scrambled eggs yogurt fruit hard boiled eggs.Scrambled eggs nice and moist not dried out like most hotel buffet eggs.Business office printer out of ink but overnight staff said they would work on it overnight. Helpful.
This is a relatively new hotel. Location is convenient to highway and restaurants and a Walmart is less than 1/2 mile away if you need snacks etc. as there is both a fridge and microwave in the room. Check-in was a little slow as they were training a new employee but hey...they gotta learn somewhere. We had a third floor room on the highway side and we were a little worried about noise but there was NONE. Bed was very comfortable, room was spacious almost to the point of wasted space. Shower was amazing. Breakfast had good selection. We would definitely stay again.
this is a great place to stay would recommend to all my friends.breakfast was one of the best in all the hotels we stayed in.rooms were clean beds were comfortable great place will be back next year on our trip south for sure
Very pleased. This is a newer hotel, nicely designed. We happened to get the handicapped accessible room. As a former rehab nurse, this is a great space for anyone needing these accommodations. The bed was so comfortable I wanted to load it in the car but we couldn't figure out how to make a king size fit. They are also pet friendly for anyone traveling with pets. I highly recommend this hotel.
This is a beautiful new hotel. The staff was very pleasant. The room and especially the shower was very nice. We asked for a room with a king size bed, but because they didn't have a standard king room, they put us in a suite for the same price. The free breakfast the next morning was nice. Our only negative comment was with the young lady that was working in the breakfast area. She was on her phone with someone and had it on speaker and talking very loud. It was very annoying. The conversation continued the entire time we were eating. We would highly recommend this hotel.
hotel very clean. The room was very clean, the bed was very comfortable. The room has a microwave and small refrigerator. Comfortable décor. Fitness center is small but very adequate... elliptical, treadmill and recumbent bike, weight machine and individual weights. pool and hot tub, which was wonderful. Breakfast had hot and cold options, scramble eggs, sausage, pancakes, biscuits and gravy as well as cereal, yogurts, toast, pastry and fresh fruit, and variety of juices.
We had an excellent stay at this location. We did not have time to use the fitness center or pool but they both looked wonderful. The breakfast was one of the best in a hotel we have had. There were cookies in the lobby when we arrived, which, after a long day of travel, was a great bedtime snack. We will definitely choose this hotel next time we need one in the area.
This hotel is just off the interstate next to a number of other more expensive properties. The hotel opened just this last year and shows it. The room was large enough. The bath was tiled in granite. The lobby had a beautiful water display on the wall. The dining area was huge. The breakfast was good. Staff were friendly. But the best part was that the price was less than I expected. Loved our overnight stay.
Loved this hotel so much the first time, decided to stay on our way home also. Very comfy bed, great shower, very clean, great hot tub, wonderful breakfast with lots of tables and chairs and choices of food and drinks. Highly recommend this new hotel!
6 of us stayed here last night (3 rooms). This is an excellent new property. Good sized rooms, comfortable beds and an excellent breakfast. We had 3 trucks with trailers and had ample room to park. Will definitely stay here when in town again.
This hotel was either just opened or recently renovated. I couldn't decide which it was but it was an excellent facility. The exterior appearance was inviting as was the appearance of the interior. The desk staff was polite and behaved in a friendly and professional manner. Everything was clean and neat. We asked for a room with a king bed and what we got was a king mini suite. The room was, for the most part, quiet, the bed was comfortable and everything was sparkling clean. The internet worked well and we had no trouble connecting. The breakfast was presented in a pleasing manner and there were plenty of choices. We will certainly stay there again if our travels once again take us into the area.
Love this place the room is large, very quit, and clean. It had everything to would need. Will stay there again and the cost was a good rate. The beds were great the morning breakfast was good lots to choose from and was hot. If you need a place to stay when your in Pratt, Kansas this is the place to stay.
BW is refurbishing many of its properties and making great progress. This is the first NEW property that I've stayed in for a while. It is definitely up to BW's new higher standards. It was comfortable, quiet, nice room to spend time in and to sleep in. And the hot eggs, fried potatoes, hot biscuits, sausage gravy, etc., etc. were wonderful. Real food. Not just cold cereal and big box store pastries.
Rooms are bright and very spacious. Customer service is great and the breakfast has many options. Really good spot near some fast food restaurants. One of the best Best Western's I have stayed at. Laundry was very helpful during a softball tourney.
Good location. Reasonable pet fee. Motel was clean throughout. Staff was great: very courteous. Breakfast was standard of all chain motels. Nothing special. This was my 2nd stay and will stay here again when in Pratt.
Stay with dogs was great and the front desk staff were very nice. Room clean and well taken care of. Large selection for breakfast and all cold items were cold and pancakes were great. Thank you for taking care of all our needs. We look forward to another stay.
Pleased to find a Best Western on this leg of our journey. Thought we would drive on, but glad to have stopped. Overall this Best Western was top quality on all points. I would definitely stay here again and even though it was a bit over my budget, the cleanliness and comfy bed was worth the rate.
We were very happy with our stay at the Best Western Plus. The room was large and updated. The bathroom and shower were excellent and handicap accessible. The breakfast area was large like a restaurant. We had an excellent stay.
This hotel is a block off the highway and is very quiet. The beds were extremely comfortable. I rated the breakfast above average because, in addition to the usual eggs, biscuits and gravy and cereal, they also had a pancake machine as well as bacon and fruit. I was not impressed with the check in or check out staff. But the hotel itself is wonderful and I would recommend it.
On our way home from Santa Fe, we stopped at the Best Western Plus in Pratt, Kansas. The desk clerk, Raven, was fabulous! She got us a better rate on our room than we had been quoted on the reservation 800 number. She told us the best places to eat close by, and was as pleasant and personable as she could be. The room was more than double the size of our "Luxury" hotel in Santa Fe, as was the bathroom, and the beds were much better. Everything was spotlessly clean, with a microwave, mini-fridge, flat screen TV and a big easy chair and ottoman to relax in. The complimentary, full hot breakfast was the icing on the cake. This was the best value for the money of any of the 4 places we stayed on our trip.
Everything seemed better than the price. It helps when the property is still glossy from the wet paint, but the rooms were clean and well put together, I was on business at the time but the area around the hotel seems to be growing and I will return.
We were traveling through from Albuquerque to Chicago and stopped here in Pratt, KS. We were so glad we stayed here in Pratt. This hotel was so nice and comfortable we wish we could have stayed more than one night. The king size room was so spacious it also featured a couch with coffee table, mini fridge, and microwave. The bed was so comfortable. The couch was a nice touch we could sit and watch TV while eating dinner in the hotel room. The breakfast was amazing with eggs and a pancake machine. They have an indoor heated salt water pool. Only wish we had time to swim. After dinner we went to Lemon Park about 5 minutes away. We were traveling with our dog and needed some outside exercise. Go to Lemon park it's beautiful and has a nice walking path. After driving all day it was nice to be outside and in the fresh air.
I was told that this Best Western Plus is about one year old. It appears to be like new and is very neat, clean and nicely decorated. I was greeted at the front desk by Josh, who was pleasant and very helpful when I couldn't figure out how the room a/c functioned. The room had comfortable beds, nice decorations, free WiFi, and small fridge/microwave. There was a complimentary full hot breakfast, indoor pool and spa, laundry and exercise room. I would gladly stay at this property again.
New hotel very friendly staff at front desk but the first room they gave me had fleas in the carpet so I knew there had been an animal in there. Spoke with the front desk the next morning and they moved me to another room, when I moved my luggage to that room and the bathroom lights were not all working and there was colored water sitting in the bathtub. Ask that that room be cleaned again before I stayed in it. They had it taken care of before I returned.
I was very satisfied with this hotel - it actually exceeded what my expectations were. The hotel looks to have been fairly recently remodeled and was very comfortable. I'd definitely recommend it and would stay there again if I was in the area!
We wanted a reasonably priced room for the night. This was a newer clean hotel. Rooms were big and bedding was very trendy. Mattress and pillows were comfy. The breakfast area was very nice and having hot food options was nice. They even had a pancake making machine. Would definitely stay there again!

Gum Diseases |
Gum coloration10/22/2007 |
what would cause my gum in a certain spot to appear it has brusising and what would cause my back tooth to have a dark line around the bottom I do not smoke or chew thanks
There may be several reasons:
-Most common cause is a build-up of subgingival calculus which will have darker color due to bacterial products.
-An amalgam tattoo (leakage from current or previous amalgam restorations into gum structure) can cause localized darker color, too.
- Other reasons (it may environmental...job related; exposure to chemicals, can be traumatic habits, playing, biting on pencils, etc.) or it may more serious (changes at the cellular level, etc.) Any type of color change and/or growth in the oral cavity should be checked by a dentist [similar to skin problems on the body].

Descriptive Summary
Charcoal Club Records, 1888-1970
Maryland Historical Society
Baltimore MD 21201-4674
Scope and Content
Apart from the notes supplied by Lawrence Sagle (see following pages), the scrapbooks contain details of The Bal des Arts, separately incorporated, but always considered part of the Charcoal Club; the Art Club of Baltimore, formed in 1892; the Sketch Club, a forerunner of the Charcoal Club; lists of members, meeting cards, exhibition notices
Although the Club was inaugurated in 1885, there is a suggestion that it met as early as 1883.
Note: The Club has promised to donate further volumes as they are completed.
Biographical Note
The Charcoal Club, Inc. of Baltimore was formally inaugurated in 1885, although there is mention of its existence in 1883.
One of the prime reasons for its inauguration was the prudery of Baltimore residents, who felt that drawing from the nude was indecent. Nude females and males (the former hard to get) were provided for sessions at various locations in the city. For many years it was a flourishing society, and contained many well known figures in Baltimore life. Perhaps the most famous was Dr. Adalbert Volck (1828-1912) the Baltimore dentist and famous local artist.
The Club assisted in the formation of Sketch Club, The Bal des Arts, and the Art Club of Baltimore.
For some years the wealth of the members enabled the Club to meet in somewhat palatial [UNK], but gradually (and particularly in the 1930's) membership dwindled, and for a time there was a likelihood that it would cease. Various members whipped up enthusiasm, and today, although the membership numbers less than 50, it still meets, but the heyday of weekly meetings, frequent exhibitions, the Bal des Arts and other social functions, has departed.
A good story on the Club is given by Carol Wharton, The Sun Magazine, July 28, 1946 (contained in vol. 4 of the Scrapbooks.
Processed by: P.W. Filby
Date: February 1970
The records of the Charcoal Club., Inc., Baltimore were donated by the Club officers through the action of Lawrence W. Sagle, Chairman and G. Harry Pouder, a member for many years.
There are volumes of scrapbooks, 1889-1924, 1933-1970
Also, 6 volumes of minutes, 1888-1898, 1924-1965.
Volumes of scrapbooks and minutes will be donated as they are completed.

Nothing relevant found. [UNK] Report of Committee having to do with the presentation of old Club records and scrap books to the Maryland Historical Society in accordance with motion passed at the meeting of the Charcoal Club, Inc., on October 16, 1969. With regard to the instructions of your president, the undersigned visited the home of Mr. G. Herry Pouder on Friday, November 7, 1969, and found the materials listed below. 1 Scrap Book No. 1, containing clippings dated from 1889 to 1910. 2 Scrap Book No. 2, containing clippings dated from 1910 to 1915. 3 Scrap Book No. 3, containing clippings dated from 1912 to 1924. (Note: These dates are approximate. There is some lapping of dates. When the undersigned was secretary, he found these books and preserved them, during the later years at his home to protect them. The binders are in very bad shape. These were turned over to Dave Marks upon his assuming the post of secretary.) 4 Scrap Book, with clippings from 1933 to 1961. [UNK] (Note: This book was maintained by the undersigned as part of his duties as secretary. There should be a later book, partly filled, which is probably in the possession of the present secretary. It was passed on the Dave Marks.) 5 An envelope containing loose clipping, dates undertimined. (Note: Mrs. Pouder informed the undersigned that the she would gladly paste them in a scrap book if one is furnished by the Club. The sooner the better, as she would like to have the material picked up well before Christmas.) 6 An envelope containing notices, letters, folders and exhibition catelogues. This envelope should be brought to the Club and given to the present secretary. Or, if deemed proper, it might also be given to the Maryland Historical Society, if the membership should so desire. 7 Old minute book, from Feb. 9, 1888 to Oct. 9, 1898. [UNK] (Note: There is a gap here, representing the time, mostly, when Bill Chaffe was secretary. Nothing has been found covering his tenure of office. As he was one of the directors for the Bal des Arts, and because of the breaking off of relations between that organization and the Club in the early thirties, it might have been an act of spite.) 8 Old minute book, from Nov. 6, 1924 to Oct. 21, 1932. 9 Old minute book, from Nov. 1, 1932 to Sept. 22, 1950. 10 Old minute book, from Dec. 7, 1950 to May 26, 1955. 11 Old minute book, from Sept. 29, 1955 to Mar. 9, 1961. 12 Old minute book, from May 5, 1961 to March 1965. (Note: No. 12 is without a binder. When Dave Marks assumed the post of secretary, he removed these minutes from the binder which he used for his minutes instead of buying a new one. It is suggested that the Club purchase a new binder for these minutes before delivery to the Maryland Historical Society.) Conclusion: As soon as I am notified that the material is ready for delivery to the Maryland Historical Society, I shall notufy Mr. Harold Manakee, director of the Society, and have him arrange to have the material picked up from the residence of Ex-president Pouder, and to formally acknowledge receipt to the Charcoal Club.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Jeremy Payne left Lakeside Speedway with a $5,000 check from the USMTS back in July, and after winning Thursday night's "A" Main Qualifier for the co-sanctioned USRA/USMTS Modified feature, he'll look to double that effort in Saturday's $10,000-to-win finale for the inaugural Sunflower Showdown presented by Kenny's Tile.
Surrounded by heavy-hitters in the 20-lap main event, Payne worked his way around Ryan Gustin on lap four and then led the rest of the way to earn a spot in Saturday's championship race.
The race got off to a rocky start when second-row starter Darron Fuqua lost control in front of the field as he exited the fourth turn to complete the first lap.
The ensuing melee collected nearly a quarter of the starters and saw the end of the night for Johnny Scott, Matt Dotson, Logan Martin and Fuqua.
Terry Phillips, who won the USMTS 'Hunt' race here in August, led the restart with Payne, Gustin and Rodney Sanders following in his tracks. Gustin took control the next time around but a second yellow flag for debris on the racing surface slowed the pace with five laps in the books.
Payne used the restart to slide in front of Gustin, and that was as close as anybody got to him again. Phillips closed to within three car-lengths by the end of the race, but had to settle for the runner-up spot.
Nevertheless, his efforts left him atop the overall points for the night and in position for a front-row start in Saturday's main event.
Fourteenth-starting Jason Hughes passed 11 cars to take third while Gustin and Sanders were fourth and fifth. Travis Saurer, 20th-starting Jon Sheets, Tim Setzer, 26th-starting Tim Karrick and Thomas Tillison Jr. completed the top 10.
Phillips and Payne led Thursday's 43 entrants in points earned with Gustin, Hughes, Sanders and Setzer also locking themselves into Saturday's finale.

WUAB Unveils "My 43" Branding
It's not the first presence of "My 43" at the sister station to CBS affiliate WOIO/19. OMW reported earlier this month that WUAB's website has been replaced by a temporary placeholder for the upcoming "My43.net".
It shows you how much we do not watch WUAB...OMW readers tell us the new branding's been in place for a while now.
But the future Cleveland market affiliate of My Network TV is not alone in abandoning its current network identity in the move to a new one, in the wake of the end of The WB and UPN, and the upcoming start of My Network TV and The CW.
WUPV/65 Richmond VA, that market's UPN affiliate, is now fully branding as "CW Richmond"...it picks up the CW network affiliation in that market. The WB programming in Richmond had been airing on NBC affiliate WWBT/12 in late nights.
One reason for these changes is apparent to those in the TV business - the July ratings book is now over.
As of this writing, Cleveland's incoming CW affiliate, current WB outlet WBNX/55, is still sporting the "Cleveland's WB" logo...
17 comments:
The my 43 logo has been running for a few weeks now. Bumpers,promos, and promos are mixed. They still fore example use the UPN 43 for public service and for their EAS test they still use "the 43 block logo with WUAB in place of UPN" from a few years ago.Proms for the my network TV shows, the simpsons. that 70's show, and the king of queens are all my 43 eventhough they still air the old upn 43 promos time to time. As of Monday, WBNX is still runing the Cleveland's WB logo on everything. MYnetwork tv has a officall website complete with a affiliate map that only lists 2o stations. If you can believe it WYTV has been keeping MYYTV a secert with no promo's or logo execprt on one page of the website and one promo for their extere makeover my hometown project.
If you were switching to the MY Non-network, wouldn't you keep it a secret, too? You ought to read Matt Roush's dispatch-blog from the TCA Conference regarding the "My Net" presentation. It's all on tvguideonline.com. Hilarious stuff. He says there IS something "worse than nothing...the MY Network shows."
Ancient Morgan Fairchild and Bo Derek: now there's a great demo-grabber.
BTW, I've seen Ch. 55 airing some transitional spots every day, sort of explaining what's coming, with combining two networks. - 10:56 PM
There's been a lot more stations re-branding as "my" something than as "CW" something recently. Why? "CW" can only refer to the network, which isn't up yet. "My" something can mean anything you want it to mean.
{ "My" something can mean anything you want it to mean }
...Such as, MY, OH MY, OH MY...these recycles telenovellas are embarrassing. - 11:17 PM
If you look at this network (MY Network TV) you realize that the heads of NEWSCORP are the smartest people in broadcasting. First they take progrsmming thst was intended for first run and make it into a network, second hire people past their prime(Morgan Fairchild,Bo Derek, and Tatum ONeil) for these reworked univision rejects, and third convience 170 differnet markets inculding stations like WYTV to start a sub channel to air this mess. That alone make them smart. But remeber that MYTV has a bare bones staff, low overhead, shows produced by 20th television and a track record of turning trash into gold. Hell if this doesn't work out for them I'm sure they can find someone stupid enough to but the network. If they were cartoons we could call this the all new disney afternoon.
- Ohio Media Watch said...
Good point about the "My" branding...it basically means nothing more than a new station name that sounds like just a name change, for people who haven't heard of MNTV.
As far as WYTV's "MyYTV" goes, there's good reason for them not to overdo it. The channel doesn't exist right now. I'm sure they'll still do pre-launch branding, but there's no use in overdoing it if you can't tune to the station yet.
"My" launches 9/5, and CW launches 9/18 (new material 9/20). The "My" stations have to do things a little earlier, in general, due to that...
I have heard that they are testing the signal and that some systems in town have the channel reserved for it. People that have heard of WYTV's entire project(myytv, extreme makerover my hometown, 5:30 news, going 24/7,downtown newsroom) want to know more about it. They have shown the logo on atleast on air promo and webbanner on the site advertising for the local etreme makeover my hometown and people around here are very curious to see what it is. Besides if they still hold the rights after all of this mess with WOIO, then they may want to air either ABC or the browns preseason games there. Most of their programming they have rights to begins in Setember anyway so what they would fill the timw with is agood quess. But I can tell you this WYTV has created on hell of a buzz in this town and that is not a bad thing.
I suppose with Traficant behind bars and out of the news, Y-town has to buzz about something. I'd think the Clarett-fires-his-legal-team just before trial might be a more intriguing topic for the dinnertable.
Many in Youngstown EXPECTED Clarett to have screwed up. That and Clarett now p[laying for the Mahoning valley hitmen which as of today has now offical place to play. When it comes to Clarett he broke one of the fundemental rules: donot scare Jim Tressel's image. I you do then we are done with you. BTW I want to be on the record and say that eventhough Clarett did mess up he deserves a second chance and the chance to prove himself. What WYTV did or I say is doing is big not really for myytv as much as they are commited to this town and feel tha Youngstown is woth over a half a million dollars inculding downtown. Just look at what is going on in the downtown area and realize that most of the new activity was due to either state, federal, or local grants/loans. WYTV is putting up their own cash for all of this and they feel that a second station is needed. The buzz is about the overall need to see this town grow and them doing there part to make postive growth instead of watching other businesses leave.
#1: Youngstown is another victim of Ohio's twisted economic practices and decades of inept political leadership. Wish 'em well, just like the many other cities hurting.
#2: A second-chance for Clarett? He HAD it already. After his lying/stolen prop. case was "swept under the rug" in Columbus, he took his 2nd chance and PULLED A GUN on two people. Do you really think this guy is capable of being rehabilitated? His brother's already in prison, so it runs in the family. Once a thug, always a thug...at least with this kid's greed, sense of entitlement, and lack of common sense.
#3: Read the PD's editorial page today (Fri.). Three readers RIP apart Sam Fulwood & his illogical spin on the WOIO case...all three cheering Randy Lerner on in his case to put 19/43 out of the football biz. - 9:43 AM
As for number 2, you have a point but Clarett at least in his press converfence with the hitmen, I feel has grown up. As for number 1, the local polticians have done there job in runing the Mahoning valley into the ground and still do so for that matter. The cavs may be on FSN Ohio only come next year. http://www.cleveland.com/search/index.ssf?/base/sports/1154075977323710.xml?s1bro&coll=2
yes it looks good, but they better get their act together on the sync of audio and video last night was terrible libs moved and no sound and visa versa, not all the time tho someone there should take a closer look at what they are putting out.
I like the new logo. It looks sharp and it has a unique feel to it.
It may just be a Time Warner thing, but anyone in the Canton area notice the audio is HORRIBLY distorted on channel 6 (43)??
You notice it as soon as you put the station on. At least it's been like that all morning today. - 3:00 PM
How can you NOT notice it? It's an ongoing problem, and very annoying.
Don't forget about the picture hanging up and the video problems they have during the jeffersons and all in the family. And the audio problems they have with the simpsons as well.
The real problem with this network is that it is replacing some really cool shows with just two shows that are essentially soaps that will run 6 nights a week in prime time..
Expect this turkey to get it neck stretched about Thanksgiving time.. stupidest idea ever tried in network TV. - 11:13 PM

80% Sourdough Rye Bread- adapted from Jeffrey Hamelman's 'Bread'
This bake started out with two things in mind. I wanted to make an 80% sour rye bread and to bake it in my Pullman pan, which I've used only once since I bought it this past summer. While I was looking through Hamelman's 'Bread' for a recipe to use, I stopped on the photo page showing the assorted rye breads from Chapter 6, and not for the first time thought what a marvellous display of craftsmanship it was. The one in particular that has always stood out among the others for me is the Pullman loaf at the back, sitting vertically with a series of diagonally crossed slashes the length of the loaf. I've wanted to try that slashing pattern ever since seeing it, so now I had a third thing I wanted to do, but first I needed to find a recipe to use. Unfortunately the photo in the book doesn't say what particular bread the Pullman loaf is. The only rye in the chapter other than the Horst Bandel Pumpernickel that calls for a Pullman pan is the 70% Rye with a Rye Flour Soaker and Whole Wheat Flour, and that didn't fit with what I had in mind. I decided to make Hamelman's 80% Sourdough Rye with a Rye Flour Soaker, but to make it using only natural leavening rather than the combination of sour and bakers yeast called for in his formula, and to substitute dark rye for whole rye in the soaker and final mix. Somewhere along the line I decided to throw some toasted sunflower seeds into the mix as well for a bit of added flavour and texture.
When I was making the sour/levain the night before the final mix and looking at the tiny little portion of mature sour expected to convert all that raw rye flour into the only source of leavening for this bread, I must admit I had some doubts. 18 hrs later it was clear that I had underestimated just how active my starter was. It had just about popped the lid off the container, looking more like a ripe, dark, poolish than any rye sour I've made before. Simply amazing how voracious natural yeast can be in the right environment.
Three hours before the final mix the seeds were toasted in a 350F oven for 10 minutes before I checked them for colour. I was looking for a medium to dark colour to bring out a rich nutty flavour, which I think is a key component of the overall flavour of this loaf. The time will vary for different ovens, but the smell and colour of the toasted seeds is the best indicator to watch for.
The mix was started in the stand mixer and finished by hand. In retrospect I should have done the entire thing by hand and saved myself the trouble of cleaning sticky rye paste out of every possible space it could get into on my mixer. It was just too large for my small KA to handle properly through to a finished mix, but it did get it off to a good start, needing only 2-3 minutes of handwork to develop it into a cohesive paste. Final ferment, rise and bake notes are included in the recipe to follow. Molding the bread into the pan properly is a fairly critical step to have a symmetrical finished loaf, and I spent enough time with this stage to ensure the baked loaf would be level on top and that the corners would be as even and square as possible. One thing I should point out to anyone who might make this loaf or something similar. When you place the paste in the pan, make sure that the bottom and sides of the paste are dry by blotting off any excess water from the initial molding with a towel of some kind. I didn't, and had a bit of a sticking problem in one spot when it came time to unmold the loaf. Once it had cooled a bit, along with some very gentle persuasion, it did release cleanly, but a word of caution on this point. The loaf was set to cool, wrapped in linen, for 16 hrs before slicing.
I have to say this is the best tasting hi ratio rye bread I've made so far, largely due to the sour itself, but also how well the flavour of the toasted seeds compliments not only the sour, but the dark rye flour. A thin slice of this bread has that level of flavour that lasts in the mouth for the better part of an hour and makes you want to come back for more. The crumb itself is moist and dense, and even after 6 days shows no sign of staling, due to the soaker and pan baking I'm sure. The bread is a dream to slice, yielding slices just about as thin as you could possibly want them without crumbling. Although I didn't get the nice definition on the slashing as pictured in Hamelman's 'Bread' it's a fact I can easily live with when the bread tastes as good as this one does. My favourite rye? No doubt in my mind this one is it for quite some time to come.

Notes: The total weight of this mix is scaled a little heavier than what you need for a 13x4x4 Pullman pan. Scaling weight for these pans is 2.050kg. Because the dough is very sticky, I found I lost some of the dough to my hands, paddle etc. The final weight of this formula should be more than enough to compensate for that. Scaling weight for the bread pictured was 29 grams short of 2.050 .
Before final mixing:
Mix the sourdough and leave for 17-18 hours to ripen at 65-70F.
Next mix the soaker, cover with a lid or plastic wrap and leave over night at room temperature.
Final mixing:
Mix all the ingredients except the sunflower seeds on 1st speed for 3 minutes. Adjust the hydration so that the mix is loose and sticky.
Add the sunflower seeds and mix on 2nd speed for 3 minutes. The mix should resemble a paste rather than a typical wheat based 'dough'. It should be soft and sticky.
Depending on the size of the mixer you may need to turn the dough out on to the counter and finish mixing by hand. If so, have your hands wet, and use a scraper to help fold the dough over itself several times until it's uniformly mixed.
Place in a bowl, cover, and let bulk ferment for 30 minutes.My dough was cool after mixing and at 74F. It was given a slightly longer 45 minute bulk ferment.
Using wet hands, form the paste into a log and place in the pullman pan.
the pan I used has only been used once previous and the glaze is intact. Because of this I didn't oil or dust the pan with flour. My preferance is that the sides of the loaf look smooth and free of flour if possible. With an older pan it should be either oiled and dusted, or lined with parchment to prevent sticking.
Press the paste into the corners of the pan with wet hands, then using a wet plastic scraper pressed flat on top of the paste, press down firmly, working the paste so that it's even along the edges of the pan on all sides. Try to get the corners as square as possible and then use the scraper to smooth and flatten the top so that it's level across the entire surface.
Final rise and baking:
Final rise of 2- 2 ½ hrs at 70-72F, covered with a clear plastic box if possible or a plastic sheet. Keep the paste damp on top if needed by spraying with water. The bread does not need to be scored, but if scoring do it just a few minutes before loading in the oven to allow the slashes open cleanly.
Bake at 465F for 15 minutes then at 435 for 45 minutes. The loaf should have pulled away from the sides of the pan, similar to the way a cake does when it's baked. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for a few minutes before tipping it out. Cool on a wire rack, wrapped in linen, for 12 hrs before slicing.

This Flood Outlook is for the National Weather Service Springfield Missouri Hydrologic Service Area (HSA) and includes the Missouri Ozarks and Southeast Kansas. This outlook includes the following larger river systems with in the NWS Springfield HSA... Spring...Elk...White...Shoal...James... Osage...Little Osage...Marmaton...Sac...Gasconade...Big Piney...Roubidoux...and Jacks Fork. Near normal chances for minor to moderate river flooding are expected through the Spring over the Osage and Marmaton River Basins. Over the rest of the region...below normal chances for river flooding are expected. Flooding may occur along the larger rivers in the NWS Springfield HSA due to individual convective rainfall events. The Flood Outlook is based on current and future streamflow and reservoir conditions...soil moisture conditions...snow pack and expected Spring precipitation. Current streamflow conditions average between 10 and 30 percent of normal streamflow percentiles all but the northwest portion of the Springfield HSA. Within the Osage River Basin, streamflow percentiles were near normal. All reservoirs in the White River system near the Arkansas border are currently below their flood pool levels and have 100 percent of their flood control pools available for storage. Lakes along and near the Osage River have between 85 and 100 percent of their flood pools available for excess water storage. Soil conditions across the region are currently drier than normal. In fact...the U.S. Drought Monitor currently has the region classified as abnormally dry. Over south central Missouri...moderate drought conditions were occurring. There is no snowpack across the Springfield HSA and no persistent snowpack is expected through the rest of the Winter and early Spring. The temperature outlook for the next three months has greater than normal chances for above average temperatures...and equal chances for above...below and normal precipitation. An updated Spring Flood and Water Resources Outlook will be issued on March 1. $$ Terry

Longtime local distributor V.J. Stanley Inc. has been acquired by Stritt & Priebe Inc., a Buffalo-based international provider of industrial pipe, valves and fittings. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
"We are thrilled to be able to keep V.J. Stanley as a formidable company in the Western and Central New York area," said Joel Scott, co-owner and co-partner of Stritt & Priebe in a statement released Tuesday. "We were able to retain all the valuable Stanley employees and we have begun hiring additional key people."
V.J. Stanley has 24 employees in Rochester, Stritt & Priebe said.
"We have hired four more and will be hiring an engineer for value-added services and a few others when we see where they fit," Scott said. "We don't know yet how many Stritt & Priebe employees will be in Rochester."
V.J.Stanley has been a manufacturer's representative and wholesale distributor of hydronic and domestic hot water and steam systems on White Street for more than 60 years.
Stritt & Priebe dates to 1922 when it was founded by John Priebe and Harry Stritt as a pipe, valve and fitting supply house. It remained a family business—sustaining under two generations of Priebe ownership—until 2007 when then owner Edgar Priebe retired. He sold the business to William Victor and Scott.
Sales and territory have more than doubled under their watch.
"Our mission is to form long-lasting, mutually beneficial relationships by utilizing our knowledge, unique talents and cooperative attitudes to serve our customers with regard to quality, service and price," Victor said in a statement. "The addition of V.J. Stanley fits right into that mission, with their values of quality products and services, knowledgeable experts and competitive pricing."
The duo have committed to adding a 40,000-square-foot facility to house both companies in a Rochester branch. Combining companies helps to create a strong future, officials say.
"I have never seen the likes of the synergy that exists between these two companies," said John Ruffner, former V.J. Stanley president, in a statement. "The end result is fantastic. It will be great going forward under the new ownership."

What can we make of Vikram Chandra and his 916-page detective novel? It seems utterly antithetical to our Age of Brevity.
"Sacred Games" is written by a well-educated student of literature, which means that Chandra (who studied with John Barth and Donald Barthelme and teaches at the University of California at Berkeley) knows when to break rules and when to follow them.
By Vikram Chandra
HarperCollins ($27.95)
Like any good epic, his novel has two heroes, one good and one evil. Sartaj is a fortysomething Sikh police inspector in Mumbai, the former Bombay. Divorced, he drives a beat-up car and drinks two to three scotches per night, usually alone. He is nice to his mother and is respectful of women.
His nemesis is Ganesh Gaitonde, a well-heeled mobster who pulled himself up from nothing by violence, street smarts and sheer will. Ruthless, vain and greedy, he is addicted to sex with very young virgins.
Here's where it gets tricky. Although his father was an honest policeman, Sartaj launders money and takes a bit for himself. His mind is a warren of denial.
Gaitonde, on the other hand, is a man with lifelong friendships and loyalties. He is an intensely evil character we cannot help but love. Putting us into the minds of people who seem different altogether is one of the great gifts of good writing.
Early on, Sartaj receives an anonymous tip that Gaitonde has sequestered himself in a bunker in the city's center. He drives there with his sidekick, Katekar, and sets himself up with a chair and a drink by the intercom at the front door.
Through the speaker, Gaitonde tells Sartaj the story of his life, which Chandra weaves in chapters throughout the first two-thirds of the book.
Sartaj and his men storm the bunker, but it is too late: Gaitonde has shot himself and his female friend Jojo, who supplied him with virgins for many years. He is then recruited by the government to investigate the dead woman and the circumstances of Gaitonde's death. It is, he is told ominously, a matter of national security.
One of the coolest things about "Sacred Games" is the crash course it offers in 21st-century Indian society and the life of Mumbai, the city regarded by writers as the country's quintessential metropolis.
Chandra, who went to film school at Columbia University, has a visual way with words that is a bonus to the reader as he places us in Mumbai.
It is less helpful in his creation of characters. Dozens of minor figures march through the pages, at least 20 of whom must be remembered and identified each time they reappear. It is not until about halfway through the novel that we firmly hold all the cards we will need to play the game he has set in motion, and even then, Chandra is merciless with our memories.
No sooner are we settled than Chandra starts to add his "inserts," chapters that loom above the immediate plot to reveal the back story, which involves an evil guru who wants to build a nuclear bomb and level Mumbai to create a new and pure world.
Reading this book is like watching an extremely talented jazz musician improvise. He's having fun and that's contagious, but too often the audience can feel on the wrong side of an in-joke. Chandra loses control of the story now and then, as if he put a thread down for a little too long and everything had a different feel when he picked it up again.
The reader, drawn into the universe the author has created, feels these lapses, these broken or dropped threads.
Traditional wisdom tells us that literary merit lies in character development while entertainment value lives in plot. Chandra is clearly more interested in the former, and the plot here is not nearly as well conceived as Sartaj and Gaitonde's moral, spiritual and even romantic concerns.
I suspect that Chandra wanted to see if he could do it. He has. If he writes other books with characters who help us understand ourselves; if he takes us into strange corners of the world, closets and kitchens and beaches and deserts (as opposed to city morgues and death by bullets), would that be so terrible? Not at all.
