A note on our eye relief figures: Quite
often, our eye relief figures will differ from those of the
manufacturer. This is because we measure the "usable" eye relief, while
the manufacturers specify their usually-longer (but technically correct)
"designed" eye relief.
The eye lens of the eyepiece is normally
recessed below the rubber eyeguard or rubber rim of the eyepiece to keep
the lens from being scratched during use. An eyepiece might have a
"designed" eye relief of 15mm (and the eye relief will truly measure
15mm from the eye lens to where the image forms). However, if the eye
lens is recessed 3mm below the eye guard, the Ramsden Disk forms only
12mm above the eyepiece body (the 15mm "designed" eye relief, less the
3mm of eye relief made unusable by having the eye lens recessed into the
body of the eyepiece). This "usable" eye relief of 12mm (measured from
the rolled-down eyeguard – the closest point you can get your eye to the
eye lens – to where the image forms) is the eye relief figure we would
measure and list in this website.
Why is it important to list the "usable" eye relief? For
those people who don't wear eyeglasses while observing, a few mm
difference between the eye relief they expect from the manufacturer's
literature and the shorter eye relief they actually get in real life
doesn't mean a lot. They can simply move a little closer to the eyepiece
to see the full field, and never realize that the eye relief is a
little shorter than they expected. However, some people must wear
eyeglasses while observing, because of severe astigmatism. These
observers can't move closer to the eyepiece if the eye relief is shorter
than expected because their glasses get in the way. For these people,
the real life "usable" eye relief is more important than the technically
correct but sometimes not fully usable "designed" eye relief. We
measure and list the actual usable eye relief so that people in the real
world can pick the eyepieces that will work best for them.
The longer the focallength, the higher the magnification and the narrower the field of viewwith any given eyepiece. The shorter the focal length, the lower themagnification and the wider the field of view with the same eyepiece.

LONGMONT -- The fiber-optic ballot question has been lit up.
The City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to ask voters for a $45.3 million bond issue that would roll out a citywide fiber-optic network. The city plans to offer 1-gigabit upload and download speeds, fast enough to download an hour of high-definition video in just a few seconds.
If passed by voters, Longmont Power and Communications expects to complete the network in three years. An LPC business plan projects that the costs would be paid back in 11 years; if telecom revenues fall short, electric revenues would be used to support the bond.
"A lot of cities in this country have already rolled out a similar deployment and did it successfully," said resident George Oliver, a founder of the local Friends of Fiber group in support of the issue. "The risks are minimal. The benefits are enormous."
Longmont has had a fiber-optic loop since the 1990s, but a 2005 state law forbade the city from offering retail service on it. That restriction was removed by a city vote in 2011, despite a $419,629 opposition campaign that saw strong backing from the Colorado Cable Telecommunications Association.
Councilman Gabe Santos urged the existing providers -- Comcast and CenturyLink -- to remember that the city already had won the big issue two years ago.
"If this does not pass, we can still provide service," he said. "It will just take longer to get it done."
Tammy Neher, an area operations manager for CenturyLink, was the sole person to speak against the issue Tuesday. She argued that Longmont already had a competitive telecom environment, that CenturyLink had invested $17 million into the community in the past five years, and that the city was jumping without a plan into an area where many cities had failed.
"In the end, it's the citizens of Longmont who will pay the price," she said.
But aside from that, the residents who came to the microphone were supporters, talking up the businesses that could be supported and recruited, the students who could be aided, and the successes that other communities had achieved.
"Over the last seven years, I've paid $50 a month for speeds that are 1/20 as good as this," resident Jason Sherry said.
"How many times do we have to say yes?" said resident Steve Elliott, who also voted for the 2011 ballot issue. "Hopefully only once more."
Vince Jordan, the city's telecommunications manager, said that 135 municipalities across the country already provide fiber services to homes and business. Even on the Front Range, he said, Longmont wouldn't be alone for long. In November, Centennial residents will vote on whether to allow their city to offer fiber services.
"This is not brand new territory for a municipality," Jordan said. He also noted that LPC already had hooked up 20 businesses to the loop with the resources it had.
"We've installed four on Main Street this week and it's only Tuesday," he said.
Election Day is Nov. 5. The ballot also will include a $31.1 million bond issue for wastewater plant improvements.
The council also voted 6-1 to offer a carefully worded letter of support for SkyTran, a proposed monorail system along Colo. Highway 119 between Longmont and Boulder. The letter calls on the Colorado Department of Transportation to study the option, but does not formally endorse SkyTran or offer any city funding.
"This just says we're OK with consideration of SkyTran," Councilwoman Sarah Levison said. "This is not a ringing endorsement of the technology or anything else."
Councilman Brian Bagley was the only vote against the letter, saying he had too many questions and not enough information.
"I can't think of one instance where the first-to-market eventually won," said Bagley, citing examples such as the VisiCalc spreadsheet, the Newton digital assistant and the de Havilland passenger jet. "That is why I'm concerned about SkyTran. If it doesn't work, what's going to happen when we have a rusted-out SkyTran from here to Boulder? ... I would love to see a business plan."

Two of three suspects involved in an alleged burglary near Dixon earlier last week have turned themselves in.
Maries County Sheriff Chris Heitman says posting photos of the suspects on Facebook was instrumental in the arrests, as it
On Wednesday, the sheriff's office posted photos of the suspects while in the commission of the alleged crime. The identities of the suspects had not been released as of Thursday night.
Photos were taken with the use of security cameras, which have become increasingly popular among homeowners, the sheriff said.
The suspects also appeared to have minor children with them. One of the photos provided on Facebook and via e-mail have the children's images blocked out.
"The male suspect is expected to turn himself in tomorrow," according to a Nov. 22 post on Sheriff Heitman's Facebook page. "They stated they received calls about their pictures being on facebook, and decided to turn themselves in."
"I want to thank everyone for their help. It is always a good thing when someone makes a mistake, and they own up to it and face the consequences. Charges will be turned in to the Maries County Prosecutor's Office later this week."

LONGMONT -- The Boulder County coroner and public health officials are still investigating the death of a 6-year-old girl whose death Monday might have been due to complications of the flu, but there is no apparent public health threat, officials said.
"We haven't yet identified anything that should be of concern to the public," said Bernadette Albanese, medical officer with Boulder County Public Health.
Longmont police launched an investigation into 6-year-old Lluvia Espinoza Morales' death Monday morning after the Boulder County Coroner's Officer notified police that the child had died at Longmont United Hospital, where she was taken after showing flu-like symptoms.
Because the child had not been under medical care for the symptoms until arriving at the hospital, police used a hazardous materials response at the child's home at 706 Darby Court. . Cmdr. Tim Lewis said police officials wanted to use an abundance of caution so as not to expose detectives and their families to a possible virus. Police routinely investigate deaths that are not attended by physicians, and Lewis said there was nothing suspicious about the child's death.
Albanese said she could not comment specifically on the girl's case unless there was a public-health threat.
"The investigation is active and ongoing and we are working closely with the coroner to see if we can find out what happened," she said.
Lewis said Monday that three other children in the home were cleared medically.
St. Vrain Valley School District spokesman John Poynton would not say which school the girl attended but did say that public health officials contacted the district to let them know there was no public health threat.
"We will respond as needed as we normally do in instances of trauma and loss," he said.
While it has not been determined yet whether the child had the flu, the virus can be fatal. Since Colorado's flu season began in October, the state has recorded five pediatric flu-related deaths.

In a move seen as "Scrooge-like" by at least one resident, the Auburn Housing Authority has stopped the Department of Public Works from building a small skating rink on Pakachoag Hill.
The 90-foot by 36-foot temporary outdoor rink for children was to have been erected on a flat piece of land between Pakachoag Street and the Lorraine Gleick Nordgren Senior Center on Goddard Drive.
However, when Lori E. Brennan, executive director of the housing authority, saw construction starting there last week, she stopped it, noting that the site was on authority property.
The housing authority discussed the matter at its meeting yesterday afternoon. Four of the five authority members spoke against the rink, with only member Ann L. Weston speaking in favor of the project.
She said, "The town government and the housing authority are both public service agencies. This is a chance to build a bridge and work together, to bring seniors together with families and children."
She said police offered to patrol the highly visible area and the Department of Public Works promised to restore any damage to the lawn.
"Maybe some seniors would enjoy seeing their kids or grandkids skating and having some fun. I don't think there's anything wrong with this."
But Betty A. Bacinskas, authority chairman, said, "It's just the wrong place for something like this. What if someone with dementia came out walking and fell on the ice?"
Ms. Brennan said the rink would "create an attractive nuisance" and asked what would prevent Worcester residents from using the rink.
William A. Coyle, director of the Department of Public Works, said all children would be welcome.
Member Roberta F. Briggs said, "It is a positive idea in the wrong place," and suggested that a rink be built at one of the local schools or parks instead.
Member Alice M. Rea said she was concerned about parking, increased traffic and "compression of the land that would cause the water level to change."
Mr. Coyle said any traffic increase would be negligible, the water level would not change, and there was ample parking at the senior center for the few families who would come to the rink at any one time.
He said a fence and lights could be put around the rink to help prevent accidents, and said the town would provide an insurance binder so the authority would not face any liability.
Wayne C. Page, chairman of the Council on Aging, said after the meeting, "I think the housing authority was like Scrooge, wanting to take this opportunity to skate away from children."
A vote on the rink was postponed until the authority's next meeting, at 2:30 p.m. Dec. 12.
A vote was taken to poll residents of Pakachoag Village to see if they want the rink, which would be near the subsidized public housing complex, which is managed by the authority.
Kristen M. Pappas, director of recreation and culture, said she had no idea the proposed rink site was not town-owned, and pointed out that she had run other events, including a barbecue, on the property.
Mr. Coyle said the town had maintained the parcel "for at least 15 or 20 years," assuming it was town-owned.
He said he was shocked that there was any opposition to a tot rink at the site.
"We laid out the rink with no reason to think it was not on town-owned land. When (Ms. Brennan) contacted me, I immediately stopped work," he said.
He said the rink was geared toward children up to age 10 and was too small for hockey games.
"It would also benefit the seniors, who could watch the children having fun," he said.
Ms. Pappas said her goal was "to bring the community together at low cost," and said the skating rink would primarily be for young neighborhood children, with the possibility of offering free skating, low-cost lessons and occasional evening events.
Ms. Weston said, "Discerning between Pakachoag Village and other residents of this community is wrong. We are all Auburn residents. Why can't we use this as an opportunity to build a bridge between the town and the housing authority? Why does it have to be an adversarial relationship?"

THORNTON — It starts with a pirouette, then a jump, then a tumble. Her floor routine was a mix of lovely grace and power, but after two days of long competition Chatfield senior Emily Barber's body was fatigued and shaky, and it showed in her landings.
Competition in the 5A state gymnastics division is nothing if not fierce, especially with girls such as Claire Hammen from Loveland, who placed first in every single event last year bagging an impressive 39.225 points — the most in Colorado high school gymnastics history.

During teacher orientation week at The Education Co-operative (TEC) campus, longtime colleagues are just meeting for the first time, as longtime classmates will finally see their peers once school starts in September.
In their new building, TEC will house programs that have operated for years in different area schools all under one roof, offering students an alternative learning center that feels like their own, Director Liz McGonagle said. The collaborative allows 16 area school districts � including Walpole � to come together and pool their resources, offering special education, alternative high school, online courses and more at what McGonagle said is an affordable price.
Started in 1968, TEC is a membership-based co-op that looks to provide options to districts and parents to expand educational resources. By working as a collaborative, TEC is able to help districts make bulk purchases at a lower cost and provide professional development in addition to their focus on special education.
"We exist to do things for our [members] in a way that's more cost effective than they can do for themselves," McGonagle said.
Starting on Sept. 4, classes will kick off at the new campus, bringing programs together that were before scattered across the region. The building will host special education programs, an alternative high school and a new online academy serving grades K-12. McGonagle said the programs worked well in isolation, but the new school will bring them to a new level.
"It gives [the kids] consistency, it gives them a feeling of their own campus, it gives us access to install technology and train our teachers in the classroom setting very consistently and the kids love it," McGonagle said. "It's so much easier to collaborate."
While the students stand to gain the benefit of consistency and being with their peers, McGonagle said the teachers will see the same rewards.
"The benefit to the staff is they can meet, and a lot of teaching is collaborative work," she said. "Especially with very complex kids."
"The goal here is to try and have a lot more resources readily available than when we were scattered about," TEC Campus Program Director Meredith Faletra said.
With more minds in one place, McGonagle and Faletra said the new school will provide the students with more opportunities than when they were isolated. For example, Faletra said the teachers came together and brainstormed a gardening program that would bring together special needs students and TEC high school students. Bringing special needs students together with non-special needs peers is an important part of their education, McGonagle said.
Walpole Superintendent Lincoln Lynch said having teachers work together is important to helping every student learn.
"The new campus provides a modern learning environment with cutting edge technology. For example, if I connect with a student and another teacher is struggling, we can have a conversation more readily on how that student learns and how we can best approach their education plan," Lynch said.
Collaborative members will also see a benefit to the new school, Lynch said. "The entire cost of the collaborative will decrease because of the efficiencies in the building," he said.
TEC leases classrooms to the Bi-County Collaborative, revenue that Lynch said could offset member fees, which sit at $2,400 per year. Walpole will also see a reduction in transportation costs for the district's seven special education students who attend TEC programs. Rather than bringing them to the various towns TEC used to operate in Lynch said transporting to an in-town school is much easier.
TEC serves Walpole, Canton, Dedham, Dover, Dover-Sherborn, Framingham, Holliston, Hopkinton, Medfield, Millis, Natick, Needham, Norwood, Sherborn, Wayland and Westwood.
The TEC program mainly focuses on providing education to students with complex special needs, McGonagle said, including medical or emotional disabilities. "The vast majority of our work is in special education programs. In this building we're going to be home to very complex, medically fragile kids."
The alternative high school caters to kids with severe anxiety or other emotional needs that inhibit their performance in a traditional classroom. For students who might not always be able to be present in a physical classroom � such as traveling athletes, actors or a child who must stay home for other reasons � TEC is pioneering an online school for grades K-12.
Called the TEC Connection Academy (TECCA), the online school offers full time courses, or single courses for students looking to supplement their education. Teachers will offer live online classes and recorded ones, broadcast from the TEC building. So far, McGonagle said 500 students are registered for the fully online schooling.
"It�s just another option," she said. "That�s what we have to give families today.
TEC is all about options. It gives options to school districts on what price they pay for necessary resources. It gives options to parents looking to send their students outside the public school realm. And, it gives options to students who have needs that aren�t being met in a traditional classroom.
"We want this to be a place where we�re always learning," McGonagle said.
Classes at the new TEC school and the TECCA online school start on Sept. 3. Visit www.tec-coop.org for more information.

The No. 1 Salesianum School boys soccer team finds itself in a familiar place this week as it is set to play for the DIAA Boys Soccer State Championship, looking to earn its third straight title.
The No. 1 Salesianum School boys soccer team finds itself in a familiar place this week as it is set to play for the DIAA Boys Soccer State Championship, looking to earn its third straight title.
The Sals (16-1) shut out No. 5 Caesar Rodney High School (14-2-1), 3-0, in Saturday's semifinals at Smyrna High School. They will face No. 3 Indian River High School (17-1) in the state championship at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 20, again at Smyrna High.
Though the score leaned heavily in favor of Sallies in the semis, the Riders kept the game close through most of the first half, holding their opponents off the board with stellar play from sophomore keeper Kevin Sheahan.
Sallies finally broke through with just over six minutes remaining in the first half though, when senior forward Josef Klees netted a rebound goal to give his team a lead. Senior midfielder Joseph Koziol added another before the half to give the team, which has given up only four goals all year, a commanding lead.
Head Coach Scott Mosier said he was pleased with the way his team played, but credited Sheahan's strong play for keeping the game close.
"Their keeper deserves a lot of credit," Mosier said. "He played really well. Sometimes we get a lot of chances and we're missing them high and wide, but tonight that wasn't the case. Their keeper just played really well."
As the first half wore on, the coach said, pressure was beginning to mount against his team as chance after chance was being denied.
However, Mosier added, once Klees helped the Sals break through on a rebound goal, a lot of weight came off his team's collective shoulders.
"There's no surprise that we're not the greatest attacking team," he said. "So when we get a goal or two — we've only given up four goals all year — we feel comfortable when we get a goal. Especially when we get two goals, those two goals is a good lead for us to have."
Now the Sals will prepare to try and win their third straight state title as they take on Indian River, a team they beat 2-0 just a few weeks ago at the end of October.
Despite a win already this season over IR, Mosier said he's expecting a tough task for his team to walk away with another title Tuesday night.
"They're a really well coached team, really disciplined," he said. "So it's going to be a really good final, a really good event."
In the days leading up to the game, Mosier said he still wants to see his team improve offensively. Defense has been the strong point for Sallies this year, so getting stronger on the attack needs to be the focus.
"We typically are going to work on attack and stuff," he said. "Whether it's crosses or runs in the box, or keeping the ball in the attacking third, our topics the next few days will definitely have attacking in them, and finishing involved in them."

MWAA names lead bid for Silver Line Phase 2Written by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) has issued a Notice of Recommended Award to Capital Rail Constructors for the major design-build portion of Phase 2 of the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project.
The notice identifies the team consisting of Clark Construction Group and Kiewit Infrastructure South Co. as the low-price proposer for the contract, but does not constitute a final award of the contract.
This follows a MWAA review of Capital Rail Constructors' $1,177,777,000 price proposal, which was determined to meet all necessary requirements.
"We are very encouraged by the price submitted by Capital Rail Constructors and the potential savings it includes," said Pat Nowakowski, executive director of the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project. "This has been a very successful competitive procurement process. The winning proposal is well below our original estimates of $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion for this portion of the project, which hopefully will allow us to pass on additional savings to users of the Dulles Toll Road."
MWAA will now request additional documentation from the team, including insurance certificates and payment and performance bonds. A final award of the contract is expected in May.
This contract includes the construction of six stations, 11.4 miles of track and guideways and wayside components. The stations are Reston Town Center, Herndon, Innovation Center, Washington Dulles International Airport, Route 606 and Route 772/Ashburn. Additional contracts will be competed in the near future for the rail yard and parking garages.

Scallop, Weathervane – Alaska
The Weathervane Scallop is a large scallop, growing up to 25 cm in shell height, distributed from central California to Alaska. They grow fast and reach sexual maturity by 4 years.
Most Weathervane Scallops are caught in the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea, where fishery management has established catch limits and regulations to control fishing pressure. Although abundance levels are uncertain, current catch levels appear sustainable.
Weathervane Scallops are captured using scallop dredges, which can cause substantial habitat damage. However, several regions have been closed to fishing to reduce habitat impacts.

NEW YORK - Former Columbia men's head soccer coach Dieter Ficken was one of six honored last night, February 7, at the inaugural New York City Soccer Gala held at the New York Athletic Club.
The NYC Soccer Gala was formulated to highlight and show appreciation for the rich history of soccer in New York City. The event will help celebrate the great tradition of soccer in NYC, as well as recognize those who have played an influential role in the game's enhancement in the city.
Press play on the photo above to watch the tribute video from Columbia soccer to Coach Ficken that was shown at last night's gala.
Dieter Ficken's Bio
There have been few Ivy League teams in history as dominant as the Columbia men's soccer program of the late 1970s and early 1980's. From 1979 to 1985, the Lions won the Ivy League title seven straight times, and advanced to the NCAA Final Four twice. The leader of that dynasty was head coach Dieter Ficken.
In 27 years at Columbia, Coach Ficken molded the Columbia men's soccer program into a model college team. Taking advantage of Columbia's position in New York City, Ficken recruited some of the best American and international collegiate players to come suit up for the Lions.
On the pitch, Ficken directed Columbia to 252 victories in 443 games, both all-time school records. In his first seven seasons at the helm, his teams posted a winning percentage of .888 in Ivy League contests, including three undefeated conference seasons.
Over the course of his career, Ficken coached 10 Ivy League
Players of the Year and 10 All-Americans. He was recognized as Regional Coach
of the Year in 1979 when Columbia made the Final Four and National Coach of the
Year in 1983, when the Lions came within inches of a National Championship.
Prior to coming to Columbia, Ficken was the head coach at his alma mater, Long Island University, Brooklyn for four seasons and led the Blackbirds to an impressive 32-9-7 record and three postseason berths.
As a player, Ficken was a member of the LIU team for four seasons and was a member of the program's first postseason appearances in 1963 and 1965. He went on to play professionally for Entracht S.C. of the German American Soccer League from 1970-74. Ficken also made a brief appearance with the United States national team, earning a cap in a 2-1 World Cup qualification loss to Mexico in 1972.

Nuggets Danilo Gallinari Was E! First Choice to Be Kim Kardashian's Fake Husband
If you didn't know besides Reggie Bush all of Kimmy's hook ups were pre-planned. She would pick out an athlete and through a middle man they would reach out to the them and it would go from there.
That is exactly how it happened with Miles Austin.
Most of the athletes just smash and dash after a couple of dates, Kris Humphries who was also "chosen" flip the script and decided to become the husband, but before him Kim and E! had someone else in mind.
Kris wasn't Kim's first choice to be her basketball beau. In fact, according to Wetpaint.com before the brunette beauty met her new husband, Kim was so eager to date a basketball player that E! were calling around teams to matchmake with NBA athletes, RadarOnline.comhas learned.
Wetpaint claim that E! Television staff contacted the New York Knicks to ask if hunky Italian basketball star Danilo Gallinari would be interested in dating Kim. "They asked if he would be interested in dating her and being on a reality show," a source told the website.
According to the insider, both E! and Kim were interested in having her date a big New York athlete for the debut season of Kourtney & Kim Take New York, which premiered in January 2011.
"Danilo said he would love to meet Kim but was not interested in dating her or being on a reality show," revealed the insider, who added: "Even though E! explained it would be great for his career, Gallinari turned the offer down."
This is how it works in the Reality Show world.
It isn't a real word, it is like the Matrix and the Kardashians are the Agent Smiths.
Think about that for a minute.

'If you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. If you have the law on your side, argue the law. If you have neither, pound on the table." — An old lawyer just sayin'.
As you know, the Rockford Board of Fire and Police Commissioners is trying to hold a hearing on a police union complaint that Police Chief Chet Epperson acted improperly last fall during a welfare check by officers at the home of NAACP President Lloyd Johnston. I'll not go into the details here. It's already gotten reams of coverage.
Anyway, Thomas McGuire, Epperson's lawyer, has been trying to stop the board from hearing the complaint, arguing that commissioners lack jurisdiction. Judge Gene Doherty said the hearing could proceed. But McGuire argues that the board has no authority to hire, fire or discipline police chiefs. McGuire says only the mayor and City Council can do that.
If that weren't strange enough, McGuire then took a trip to a parallel universe: Epperson is not the "de jure" chief, meaning he wasn't legally appointed, but he's the "de facto" chief because he's serving in the job. "One to beam up, Mr. Scott."
Well, I decided to see how many de facto police chiefs we've had. We have electronic archives of our newspaper and all its predecessors in Rockford going back to 1840. At my desk computer I can call up old articles by punching in a couple of keywords. Kinda neat, eh?
And here's what I found. Seems we've got ourselves a whole lotta de facto-in' goin' on 'round here:
April 11, 2006: "Rockford born and bred Chet Epperson was named chief Monday by the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners on a 2-1 vote."
April 7, 2006: "On Feb. 24, when the commission identified its first choice, David Purdy, after a six-month selection process, commissioners announced a tentative start date of early April. After the commission withdrew its offer to Purdy on March 22 based on background check findings, board attorney and spokesman Sam Castree said the selection of a chief from a list of five remaining candidates would proceed 'expeditiously.'"
Oct. 18, 2005: "The city's Board of Fire and Police Commissioners named Deputy Police Chief Dominic Iasparro interim police chief Monday."
Dec. 2, 2002: "(New Police Chief Steven) Pugh thanked the city, members of the Rockford Police and Fire Commission, fellow officers and family before addressing some of the department's biggest challenges. ..."
July 3, 1997: "The Board of Fire and Police Commissioners selected (Jeff) Nielsen from a group of (chief) applicants who all came from within the department."
August 16, 1985: "When in April (Chief Del Peterson) announced his intention to retire, we said that the local Board of Police and Fire Commissioners faced a difficult chore in finding a replacement capable of carrying on the Peterson tradition.
"(William) Fitzpatrick's credentials indicate the commissioners did their work well. For that matter, there is every indication commissioners well served the community, narrowing the applicants down to a final list of five exceptional candidates, then selecting Fitzpatrick, all without a hint of political partisanship."
Aug. 18, 1965: "When Rockford Fire and Police Commissioners Tuesday night announced the appointment of Delbert Peterson as the city's next police chief, they unanimously endorsed the top choice of a panel of three nationally known experts, according to commission Chairman William Allen."
Feb. 2, 1953: Sgt. Thomas P. Boustead will become Rockford's police chief March 1. Boustead finished first among the 14 police officers who took exams given by the board of fire and police commissioners. Announcement of Boustead's appointment was made by B. Howard Oberg, chairman of the board. ..."
What do you see in all these excerpts? Right, the Rockford Board of Fire and Police Commissioners hired all the chiefs. And what do you not see? Right, the words "mayor" and "City Council." You could read the complete stories and not know who the mayors or aldermen were.
Come to think of it, maybe Larry Morrissey is the de facto mayor. And maybe I'm a de facto columnist. Maybe the Rock River is a de facto river. Maybe we live in a de facto Rockford that's already been transformed, but we lack the magic 3-D glasses to see it.
"You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead — your next stop, the Twilight Zone!"

Spaghetti dinner to raise money for trip and for community-wide youth ministry re-build
A downtown Ionia church with a heart for helping young people share their faith is enlisting high schoolers to travel to an evangelism conference in Chicago in the spring. The youth group from Zion United Methodist Church and its leaders are planning a spaghetti supper Sunday to raise money for the trip.
The dinner will be held from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday at Zion. For the cost of $7 per person, $12 per couple or $20 per family, attendees will enjoy spaghetti with meat or meatless sauce, green beans and pudding. Cooks for the event will be two youth group members, Kayla Wireman and Conner Arnold.
The spaghetti dinner is one of the group's major fundraisers for the Dare 2 Share evangelism conference, this year scheduled for April 12-13, said youth group leader Andria Hunt, who attended for the first time when she was a student.
Dare 2 Share includes live bands, dramas, talks by Greg Stier and mission work. Hunt had the opportunity to go door-to-door in a Chicago neighborhood collecting nonperishable food items for families in need, and along the way to share her faith with those she encountered.
"It was an amazing experience. It showed me what faith can do in your life and the importance of standing fully for your faith," she said. "It helped me and helped my fellow students to understand what it means to be Christian."
The church has been sending teens from Zion but also from across the community for about 10 years to experience the "intense training" that happens at Dare 2 Share, said the church's youth program coordinator, Denise Epps. This year, the church is expanding its youth program and including other churches' youth groups.
"(Zion's) Community Youth Vision exists to reach out to area youth coming together to praise God and teach them to serve his people," Epps said. "The issue for young people in smaller churches is that they have their 'pod,' but when they go to school they are afraid of rejection and afraid to live by their values and vision. When they realize there is this larger group of people, it gives them more confidence to walk out their values and beliefs."
Epps added that adolescence is a time when youth are looking to find themselves, and they can be "beaten down" when the world does not recognize their belief system.
"They are confused, and a lot of kids are without hope," she said. "A large community of Christian believers can give them confidence, security and hope."
Epps said the church has no budget for the youth group, so the ministry does the spaghetti dinner to raise funds for programming like the Dare 2 Share trip. Between 20 and 40 youth have gone each year, and this year, because of the expanded outreach of Community Youth Vision, there could be more.
"Many kids can't afford the $70 it costs to go and stay at the conference," she said "We don't want anyone turned away because of finances. We definitely want any child in high school, or in middle school who is dealing with the same issues of peer pressure and bullying, to be able to go."
Epps said Community Youth Vision will have more events coming up, and she is hoping the community will see more of them.
"We're really branching out, and we are trying to be absolutely welcoming to other youth groups who would like to join us," she said.
For more information about Dare 2 Share, visit www.dare2share.org. For more information about Community Youth Vision or Zion United Methodist Church, call 616-527-1910. The church is located at 423 W. Washington St. in Ionia.

Since this is the forum for discussing starting a company (which appears to have been extended to Amateur orbital spaceflight group ), I thought I'd compile a list of those who live in the UK who might/would be interested. At the moment I know of only about 4-5 space advocates who live in the UK - one of whom lives a few miles away from me in a neighbouring county.
So, who lives in the Sceptred Isles?

Only just found this forum - I usually trawl through another. When I saw this thread I initially thought 'Great!' - then I saw the posting date...and the low number of replies Still, maybe it's worth giving this a bump by saying yes, I'm also in the UK and interested in getting a UK space company going - plenty of ideas, just no finance to do so Anyway, if anyone is still interested then who knows? Wouldn't it be amazing to see a UK SpaceX-style business get going - god knows it's about time we did something to try and get back in the game after throwing it all away in the 70's

Ok - so maybe we should bounce some ideas around about what would be required in order to start something perhaps? And by that I mean, what level of funding would realistically be needed, where to set up, what to do etc? I'll start the ball rolling since I can actually post now
Funding: To me this is dependent on what you plan to do I guess, so maybe that should be properly addressed later - but as a ballpark I would guess 10's of thousands running into 100's of thousands to really get a good start? Or is that over/under estimating?
Where: Well there are already facilities/office spaces that can be leased around Harwell and Guildford (Surrey Space Center), and you'd be in the thick of other space related businesses by taking up offices there. That or Culham perhaps are the main ones that spring to mind - all down South I admit, but then I'm based in Hampshire/Surrey anyway, so for me at least it makes sense
What: Now this is the real toughie. To my mind you can do one of two things - one, find a niche and exploit it, but if so then what niche and would it be profitable enough? And two, take the open approach and decide that you're going to try and cover the whole shooting match e.g. launchers, satellites, services, consultation etc etc.
To my mind covering all the bases means you stand a better chance of finding a profitable gap, and you're also in the position where you're not reliant on any external company/companies for sourcing essential items related to your products. As an example, I seem to remember hearing that originally Elon and SpaceX were going to outsource a lot of the work for making parts etc for their projects and then put them together in house, but due to being unable to get acceptable prices and delivery schedules they decided to just hire some talent to enable them to do the work in-house.
Anyway - that's the ball rolling, anyone else any thoughts?

Be good if there was a google map thing setup with anyone interested in helping space projects, a pin with a name and contact info perhaps skills too. Shame funding kills most things, Starchaser and Bristol Space Planes had better starts than most but money speaks volumes.
Interestingly enough has anyone got a list of UK companies already in the market or trying to get in?
I guess we have:
Bristol Space Planes
Reaction Engines
Virgin Galactic?
Spacefleet project
Cambridge Uni spaceflight

Probably office space is not the first thing you start looking for.
I would suggest doing the "Startup" course on Udacity, it is extremely informative for any noob like myself, and can be done in your freetime at nights or on weekends.
Based on the course material I have been through so far, a Startup's objective is to develop a businessplan through testing hypothesises and doing research.
So really you don't need an office. What you need is to figure out your product, your market, your available resources etc...and then going out there talking to potential customers, potential investors, potential competitors and testing all your hypothesises about how you imagined your business will be set up and run.
I would be interested in starting a space related business, but I have the same issue as others here. I work full time, and fitting in more work is quite hard. Not to mention being a complete noob in pretty much every field needed for starting and running a space business.
Sometimes I do feel like I am just making excuses and I am just too lazy to really dive into this field.
A possible business idea I have been ranting about for a while is figuring out crowd funding for all these small businesses that seem to want to pop up in the wake of large corporations. There is a lot of public and hobbyist interest, but finding funding seems to be hard because the general populus doesn't think the public belongs in space business.
Now we have spaceGAMBIT that secured enough funding from the american government to support a handful of projects around the globe. There was around 50 entries, but only a few of them will get the needed seedfunds to carry out the project. There are also campaigns on various crowd funding websites, but being so dispersed makes it hard to market the projects, and grouping up in one spot might help drawing more attention to all these projects as a whole.
Possible other business ideas is supplying hobby groups with components geared towards space related hardware building. Like what solarsystemexpress is trying to do with the gravity development board.
If the building of small scale space hardware is cheap enough for small companies or hobby groups to have a go at, then all these small companies might be able to leverage eachother's capabilities to join the big players on the playground.
Actually another possible niche might be affordable test facilities to test and validate the hardware before flight. It requires all sorts of vacuum chambers, radiation chambers etc... So another possible idea is to cater for the needs of small businesses to carry out such tests on small scale products like cubesats or nanosats, or various electric propulsion systems, laser communiaction systems etc...
It might be all gibberish I just talked about, I am no expert or anything.

Two professional Boulder cyclists were ticketed for riding more than two-abreast before the Boulder officer called them early the next morning and admitted she had misinterpreted the law.
Nicole Duke and her boyfriend Ben Berden -- both professional cyclists -- were riding along Iris Avenue on Tuesday at around 4 p.m. She said she was riding in front with Berden just behind and to the side of her, and that both were riding in the bike lane. But as they were turning on Folsom Street, a Boulder police squad car pulled them over.
Duke said the officer, Kathleen O'Toole, appeared to be very agitated at the two riders.
"She immediately got out of the car and was irritated already," Duke said. "She said we were violating 'single-file law' and that she was 'sick of pulling people over for this, somebody has to get a ticket.'"
But the law in Boulder allows for up to two people to be riding abreast of each other as long as they are not impeding traffic. Duke said she knew this, but initially thought that there may have been a sign in that area specifically prohibiting riding two abreast and didn't protest the ticket -- which actually cited the statute disallowing riding more than two abreast.
"I just kind of wanted to smooth it over," Duke said.
But after Duke posted a photo of Berden at the traffic stop and described the situation, friends started weighing in and Duke realized O'Toole was mistaken. She sent O'Toole an email and sure enough, O'Toole called them back to say the ticket was a mistake.
The problem with the call, according to Duke, is that O'Toole made it at 1 a.m.
"To have that phone call at one in the morning, I don't know what she was doing but that was rude," Duke said. "She could have waited and called the next day. It was insult to injury."
In the call, Duke said O'Toole admitted she had read the statute wrong. In an additional email, O'Toole wrote, "I reviewed the statute with another officer and learned I misread the statute."
O'Toole told Duke and Berden that she would come by when she was back on duty to pick up and void the ticket. Boulder police spokeswoman Kim Kobel said officers can void tickets in the event they wrote a ticket in error, listed the wrong charge or made any other mistakes. Kobel said the officer does have to turn in the ticket to the records department for accountability purposes.
Kobel said she was not able to talk to O'Toole -- who is not scheduled to work until next week -- about the incident and did not know any specifics about the episode.
While Duke said she appreciated that O'Toole acknowledged the error, she said it wasn't as if she had a choice.
"It was great she admitted she was wrong, but she had to have, or we would have went to court and would have shown she was wrong," Duke said. "We ride every day, we know how to handle our bikes, and we weren't obstructing traffic whatsoever."
Duke added she was disappointed with how O'Toole treated her during the traffic stop, and said many of her other friends also have said they have had similar experiences.
"I'm irritated, because I've had so many incidents with police," she said. "They never come when you need them but they're always harassing you."
Duke said while she acknowledges there are some cyclists who ignore the rules of the road, she thinks cyclists in Boulder are unfairly targeted.
"I just wish that some of these police officers would get on a bike and ride in traffic and see what we have to deal with," Duke said.
"I understand they may be frustrated with some cyclists riding three or four abreast, but I'm harassed when I'm by myself on my bike. It's pretty disappointing, and it's a big frustration for the cyclists in our community."

Huskers Tee Off Spring at Big Ten Match Play
Bradenton, Fla. - The Nebraska men's golf team opens its spring season on Friday and Saturday at the Big Ten Match Play at The Concession Golf Club as its first of seven events this spring.
The Huskers, who are the 11th seed, will face No. 6-seed Purdue in the first round at 7:10 a.m. CT. The winner will advance to the quarterfinals against No. 3-seed Iowa on Friday afternoon. The semifinals and finals will be contested on Saturday.
Nebraska is looking to build off a fall season which saw the Huskers open with a victory at the Fairway Club Invitational and add three additional top-10s in four tournaments. Newcomer Kolton Lapa led the team in stroke average with a 74.00 over 14 rounds. Lapa, a freshman, and sophomore Ross Dickson were the only Huskers to compete in every tournament during the fall.
Both Lapa and Dickson will be among six Huskers battling for five spots at the Big Ten Match Play this weekend. Dickson's stroke average was 74.43 with his best finish a tie for third at the D.A. Weibring Intercollegiate.
Senior Kevin Gillick will also travel with the team to Florida. He competed in six rounds during the fall for a 75.00 stroke average. Gillick's best finish was a tie for first at the season-opening Fairway Club Invitational, which featured a 3-under-par 69 in the second round.
Sophomore Cameron Palmer was added to the NU roster in the offseason and will compete for a spot at The Concession Golf Club. Sophomore Josh Reinertson could see his first action of the season this weekend. In his Husker career, Reinertson has played three rounds for a stroke average of 88.00 despite not competing in the fall.
Junior Matt Record will also make the trip. Record played 11 rounds in the fall for a 74.72 stroke average. His best finish was a tie for eighth at the season-closing Price's Give 'Em Five Invitational.

A human skeleton has been found by hikers near Red Rocks Park.
Three hikers found the skeleton three tenths of a mile above and to the west of Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Friday, Dec. 14.
The hikers notified a Jeffco sheriff's deputy who was patrolling the area and led the deputy back to the remains.
The skeleton was found in thick brush and appeared to have been there for some time. The person had been clad in blue sweatpants or shorts, and there were no noticeable signs of trauma, the Sheriff's Office reported.

Today is the first day of the fall semester and that means that we are getting inundated with wide-eyed freshmen and dead-eyed graduate students who have a bajillion questions about the libraries and our policies.
It's nothing new and we're getting the standard questions, comments, and complaints.
It's mostly things such as:
Graduate Student: "What do you mean this book only circulates for two hours? Two hours?!?! Come on now…two hours?!"
Cap'n Charisma: "Well, it's a course reserve book, so it circulates for less time so that more people in the class can have access to it."
Graduate Student: "So I can't have it for the entire semester?"
Cap'n Charisma: "No, like I just said…it circulates for two hours so more people can use it."
Graduate Student: "So I can't take it for a month?"
Cap'n Charisma: "No…two hours."
Graduate Student: "…but I'm a graduate student!"
Cap'n Charisma: "I'm sorry, the policy still applies."
Graduate Student: "Oh…so I really can't take it for the semester?"
Cap'n Charisma: *sigh* "No. No you cannot."
Graduate Student: "Are you sure?"
Cap'n Charisma: "…yeah, pretty sure."
(This conversation tends to go on for awhile…Grad Students are tenacious.)
Freshman: "Teehee…I beat everyone else in my class to this book. Teehee!"
Cap'n Charisma: "Congrats. Just a word of warning, if it's being used for a course, there's a good chance that someone else will recall it."
Freshman: "…what?!"
Cap'n Charisma: "Well, if someone else requests the book, you'll have to bring it back. You're guaranteed a two week loan, but after that, it can be recalled by another user."
Freshman: "Well that's hardly fair."
Cap'n Charisma: "…actually, it's very fair, because it allows more people to use the book."
Freshman: "Well what if I don't return it when it gets recalled? I just get to keep it, right?!"
Cap'n Charisma: "Well, you certainly get to keep it, but you'll be paying a late fee of $2 per day for every day it's late."
Freshman: "Is there any way I can get this book and ensure that no one but me gets to use it?"
Cap'n Charisma: "…you could buy it."
Freshman: "How much does it cost to checkout books?"
Cap'n Charisma: "Cost to checkout books? Well it doesn't co–"
Freshman: "What was that?"
Cap'n Charisma: "I said it was $2 per book. Cash. Only cash. No receipts!!"
…okay, not really, but wouldn't that be awesome?! My idea of a tip jar keeps getting rejected so this seems like the next best thing.
Anyway, probably my favorite thing about the beginning of the semester deluge is the students who had late items over the summer.
I think it's just super cute how so many of them think that if they just drop the book on the counter and scurry away, their fines won't follow them.
They're in the computer. Just because you skedaddled before we had time to say "hey bro, you owe the library $8!" doesn't mean that you suddenly don't owe the library $8.
The fine just sorta hangs out and haunts you until it gets paid off.
Anyway, there's really no point to this entry (as one could say is the case with most of my blog entries), but I just felt like letting all you non-library peeps in on what my day was like.
You're welcome (or something).

The Victory Electric Cooperative would like to pass on some valuable information about a scam targeting the Dodge City and surrounding areas.
Please be aware that scammers have attempted to defraud Victory Electric members by trying to collect funds over the phone. Individuals calling claiming to be a representative from the "electric company" told members if they didn't go buy a MoneyPak card to pay their electric bill, they would be disconnected within an hour.

On the one hand, the holidays are a great time. Everything is so festive. There are lights everywhere. There's the anticipation of gifts. People tend to be in great moods. There is excitement in the air. And you can almost feel the good will.
On the other hand, this time of year makes me realize just how defective we are as a species. This is the one time of year when everyone knows right from wrong. We know how we should act. We know that being kind and charitable and forgiving makes the world better. We like the idea of bringing joy to others. It is a time of year when family feuds are forgotten, old friends are remembered and we all spend a few moments to think about things greater than what happened at work today or what that dipstick did in Washington. BUT. . .
. . . BUT what this really highlights is how poor we are as people the rest of the year. We KNOW how to do it right because we do it right for a couple weeks each December. We even promise ourselves that we will keep doing it right throughout the year. . . from now. Yet, within days of Christmas, we are back to the way we were. We are complaining about the boss or the coworkers, the spouse, the kids, the neighbors, the jerks in Washington. We have no desire to help our fellow man and we stop thinking about being selfless and we become self-centered.
So why are we like this? We KNOW that being this way year round will make us happier, even if we're the only ones doing this. We KNOW that if everyone acted this way year round, the world would be an infinitely better place. Yet, we don't act this way year round. Maybe, when people talk about the meaning of life, what we are missing is right there in front of us. Maybe the meaning of life is to find a way to become the people we know we want to be? That would be fitting wouldn't it, for the answer to the question everyone wants to know to be hidden right there, in plain site, already known to each of us?
Think about it.
Maybe this year, you should give the real gift of happiness and become the person you always aspired to be?
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone. Thanks for reading and participating and just being such a great e-family. I wish you all happiness and peace in the coming year.

When and why did you start training for fighting? I debuted in 1997 with no gloves. I started training jiu-jitsu in 1989 and I got my black belt in 1999.
What ranks and titles have you held? Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Royler and Rickson Gracie, Nitrix champion in MMA, second place and third place finishes in the world championships, and five state championships in jiu-jitsu.
Do you have any heroes? Everyone has something to show me that I can learn, and those are the people I want to see, but I don't have any idols.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It's everything. I fought in the best events in the world, I fought in PRIDE, and being in the UFC, it's the place I want to be and I want to open the gates for my students in Brazil. That's my goal.

Anna Catherine "Kay" Morrison, 93, former Augusta resident, died on March 7, 2013.
Anna Catherine "Kay" Morrison, 93, former Augusta resident, died on March 7, 2013, at Grand Oaks assisted living facility at Sibley Hospital in the District of Columbia.
She will be interred at Great Falls Cemetery, Great Falls, Mont., along with her husband Melvin "Socky" Morrison who passed away in June, 2011.
Born Anna Catherine Green in Kevin, Mont., on Feb. 9, 1920, Mrs. Morrison graduated from Great Falls High School in 1937 and subsequently attended the Kinman Business School, a secretarial school in Spokane, Wash. In high school, she was active in singing, drama, and business clubs and was a member of the National Honor Society.
Kay's first job was at the White Eagle Oil Company in Cut Bank, Mont. White Eagle at that time was owned by Standard Oil of New York, which subsequently became Socony Vacuum, and then Mobil Oil Corporation. She met her future husband Mel there on a blind date on New Year's Eve, 1940. Mel was a chemical engineer with the White Eagle refinery in Augusta, Kan., but was working in Cut Bank on temporary assignment. Kay and Mel married in Great Falls, Mont., on Sept., 1941, and, after honeymooning in Colorado, began their life together in Augusta. There, the couple had three children, Kent (1944), Sue (1948), and Bart (1951). Also while in Augusta, Kay worked for a time at the Prairie State Bank and, with husband Mel, as an air-raid warden during WWII.
In 1954, the family moved to Melbourne, Australia, where Mel was the startup engineer at a new refinery (only the second in Australia), a joint venture of Socony Vacuum and Esso. Other Augusta/Mobil families in Melbourne at the time were those of Lyle and Bonnie Carson and Clark and Estelle Hartman, and, while the men played weekend golf, Kay, Bonnie, Estelle, and a fourth (non-Augusta) "Mobil wife" (Carol Parker) were the contract bridge team. The husbands, who liked to take movies of their golf swings and review, analyze, and comment on what the films revealed when the couples got together for post golf and bridge weekend dinners, were surprised at least once when the women secretly substituted a film of their bridge playing and provided a running commentary on their shuffling, dummy arranging, and card cutting "athletic" techniques. The family turned the Australian assignment -- which began with a (propeller driven) plane flight to Melbourne via San Francisco, Honolulu, and Fiji -- into a "round-the-world" adventure by returning to Augusta in 1956 via steamship, traveling through Indonesia, Singapore, current Sri Lanka, and, via the Suez Canal, Port Said, Egypt, all followed by a tour of Europe
In 1961, the Morrisons moved to Beaumont, Texas, where Mel led the Engineering Department at Mobil's largest refinery and their two younger children graduated from high school. Kay and Mel then returned to live in Melbourne in 1969, followed by London, England, in 1971. In 1974, the couple moved to Stamford, Conn., where they lived until Mr. Morrison, by then a senior international refining official for Mobil, retired in 1979.
In retirement the couple lived in Austin, Texas, until a second retirement move in 1993 to Silver Spring, MD, and, in 2010, a final move to an assisted living community in Washington, DC. Both Maryland and Washington, DC, locations were near the family of their eldest son.
As a child, Anna Catherine was an active member of the Camp Fire Girls, and she kept in touch for many decades with friends made then. As an adult, Kay Morrison excelled at bridge and in later years competed in master tournaments. While in England, she became an expert brass rubbing artist, and in every location she was an accomplished cook and hosted many dinner parties as a traditional housewife/partner supporting her husband in his career. While in Beaumont, Texas, she was a Gray Lady volunteer at St. Elizabeth's Hospital. She made many friends in her travels and corresponded with them as the years progressed. In retirement, she and her husband traveled extensively around the globe.
Mrs. Morrison is survived by: three children, Kent Morrison and his wife Dale of Bethesda, Md, Sue Field and her husband Don of Coto De Caza, Calif., and Bart Morrison and his wife Marguerite of New York, NY and New Fairfield, Conn.; six grandchildren, Connor and Collin Morrison, Andy and his wife, Traci, and Kimen Field, and William and Catherine Morrison; one great-grandchild, Blake Field.
In Kay Morrison's memory, donations may be made to Camp Fire USA (www.campfireusa.org), the successor form of the Camp Fire Girls.

In 1985, Nicholas Streamo Jr., who died 10 years ago last September, set up what he then called a "Christmas Shop" on the second floor of his gardening business. "It's still all things Christmas, and we leave it up all year," said Sherese Streamo, Nick's daughter, who now operates the store.
A sign in Dumont Seed Co. states the significance of the store's holiday section — the entire second floor.
"Welcome to St. Nicholas' Place," it says, tipping a holiday hat to Nicholas Streamo Jr., who owned the store.
In 1985, Streamo, who died 10 years ago last September, set up what he then called a "Christmas Shop" on the second floor of his gardening business at 619 30th St. NW. From there he sold Christmas decorations — pre-lit trees, light strands, inflatable and molded holiday figures and the like — year round.
"It's still all things Christmas, and we leave it up all year," said Sherese Streamo, Nick Streamo's daughter, who now operates the store. "People will come in the middle of summer looking for bulbs."
The daughter named the Christmas shop after her father the holiday after his death. The name seemed appropriate. And, the merchandise was his personal passion.
"My dad built this room," Streamo recalled, noting that her father had operated the business at 30th Street since 1975 and had owned Dumont since late in the 1960s. The company itself was founded in 1869.
A holiday carol playing in the background in the store one night earlier this week claimed that "it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas," but to customers at Dumont Seed Co. it has appeared to be the holiday since the beginning of October. That's when Streamo formally opens St. Nicholas' Place each year so people can browse shelves. The shop remains open to customers throughout the holidays.
Molded snowman figures also find space in the shop, as do nutcracker soldiers, North Pole elves, and other traditional symbols of the season. There is a feeling of nostalgia here, right down to the shop's wooden floor.
Strands of old-style bubble lights and big colored bulbs are stocked on shelves. An assortment of holiday ornaments is offered. Boxes of gold and silver tinsel are stacked near lengths of garland. Customers seek out such reminders of their days of Christmas past, Streamo said.
"There have been more people going back to the old bulbs than have been going to the LED," Streamo said. "And people seem to be going back to blow molds from the inflatables."
Nevertheless, Streamo sells inflatable figures, of course. And the shop stocks strands of modern lights. St. Nicholas' Place is, as she said, "all things Christmas" — all the time.
A decade after her father's death, a holiday tradition continues.

Best Uses
This is such a great tool to assist coaches, in the organization of the dug-out during Little League games. Hangs easily, it is such a help. It really helps the kids see what bat is theirs and they learn organizational skills by putting the bats back when they are done. Glad I got it. I even had it embroidered to avoid theft. Got many compliments on it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
