Friends mourn loss of pair who drowned in Hampton RiverBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
September 23. 2013 8:58PM
HAMPTON — Ralph Nickerson chatted with Bruce Menezes last Wednesday outside the beach house where Menezes lived with his roommate, Mark Classen.
Nickerson, who rents out other properties next door, said Menezes and Classen were often found sitting out on the front porch of the place they rented at 11 River Ave.
"They were very sociable," he said.
Nickerson didn't think much of it when he didn't see the two men around for a couple days after his chat with Menezes.
He said he was shocked when he learned that they were found dead in the Hampton River last Friday of an apparent drowning.
"I couldn't believe it at first. You're right next door to someone and then the next day they're gone," he said.
Autopsies performed Saturday concluded that both men died from drowning, but police have released few details about the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
According to Kevin Bailey, yard manager at the Hampton River Marina, Menezes, 53, and Classen, 57, went out last week with another friend on his boat to a floating dock moored in the river about 200 yards from the marina.
At some point on Thursday, Bailey said the friend with the boat took his dingy back to the marina and left Menezes and Classen out with the other boat at the dock. They were left out with the boat overnight, Bailey said, and Friday morning the friend returned to the dock and found them gone.
It's not clear how they ended up in the water.
Friends and neighbors said they believe it was all just an accident, that maybe one of them fell into the river and the other jumped in to rescue him and both were swept away by the current.
The bodies were found floating in the river about a mile away from the dock in the area of the Hampton River Boat Club off of Landing Road late Friday morning.
Nickerson said Classen and Menezes lived together at the River Avenue residence for the last few months. He liked having them living next door because they kept an eye on his property.
"Bruce was a nice guy. He would do anything for you," Nickerson said.
Bailey didn't know Classen very well, but said Menezes has lived in the area for many years and at one point lived year-round on a boat at the marina.
"Bruce would give you the shirt off his back," Bailey said.

Taxing Students
Students at Michigan State University who work around campus to help pay their tuition may find it harder to afford the high cost of their educations, if East Lansing's city council gets its way.
University officials and community leaders alike are sounding the alarm over a proposal to impose an income tax on workers in this college town of 50,000 residents, 60 percent of whom are students.
These critics charge that the new tax would reduce spendable incomes and make it harder for East Lansing's businesses to attract workers into the city. Evidence shows they are right.
Michigan's most highly taxed cities experienced a decline in economic growth and population from 1980 to 1990.
Detroit, with a 3 percent income tax and overall tax rates six times higher than the state's municipal average, suffered an 11 percent decrease in per capita income and a 15 percent drop in population.
At the same time, lower tax cities like Grand Rapids enjoyed both economic and population growth.
The East Lansing City Council should not punish students and nonresidents with a tax for working in the city. The experiences of cities like Detroit and Grand Rapids demonstrate that new and higher taxes are not the way to prosperity.
For the Mackinac Center, this is Catherine Martin.

At Johns Manville, it is our goal to meet the needs of current stakeholders without sacrificing the needs of future generations. We publish an annual sustainability report as a way to share our goals and progress with our key stakeholders—customers, suppliers, employees and the communities where we have a presence. As a manufacturing company, we strive to minimize the adverse impacts of the materials we use, the products we manufacture and the processes we use to produce them. In fact, a significant number of our sustainability goals are focused on reducing our environmental footprint while making a positive contribution to society.
A great example is in our fiber glass manufacturing process. We incorporate an average of 25 percent recycled content across North America. That content (as certified by Scientific Certification Systems) includes an average of 20 percent post-consumer, with the balance consisting of post-industrial recycled glass. All that adds up to tens of thousands of tons of recycled content in JM fiber glass insulation each year.

In recent weeks I have been writing about some of my favorite places for genealogy on the Internet. I have mentioned familysearch.org and ancestry.com as great places to find your ancestors.
In recent weeks I have been writing about some of my favorite places for genealogy on the Internet. I have mentioned familysearch.org and ancestry.com as great places to find your ancestors.
The first of them is free, and both have millions and millions of records. I've been using them so much recently that my printer starts to cry every time I come near the computer. They are great resources for most aspects of my genealogy.
Another great resource comes to me in my email on a regular basis. Sometimes I get several communications a day, and other times it is two or three weeks between notifications, but I don't have to worry about that – I'll get an email whenever there is new information to be shared.
A surname posting list is a good way to get and give data about your family. I belong to several of these sites, and they keep me informed. Here is how you can start watching for people on a surname list: First, go to www.cyndislist.com where you will see that Cyndi Howells now has almost a third of a million links to other sites (325,646 links as I write this article) in 192 categories.
For example, there are links to 43 wikis for genealogy. But we're interested in surnames. After I went into her site I clicked "categories" in the upper left part of the screen. This gave me a list of all the categories, so I scrolled down to "surnames, family associations & family newsletters." She has over 11,000 links in this category. When you are this far into Cyndi's Website you can just click on the letter you want to use, and then click on "surname mailing lists."
When I was to that point, I scrolled down to find "Moses" (some surnames are associated with others of similar spelling so you might have to look a bit to find the name you need). Most common and many uncommon surnames are listed.
When I was finally at the Moses surname area, I still had some choices. I chose to subscribe to the mail mode instead of the digest mode of that surname (I'll explain in a minute). The word "subscription" scares some people because they think they will have to pay something. In this case it is not true.
These are free listings – the subscription is just a way to let you join so that you can send and receive messages. The one for my family was email@example.com (the "l" was for "mail mode").
You don't have to remember the request address – Cyndi has it built into her Website, so all you need to do is click on it. They reserve the right to remove your email account if you do certain things, but most people abide by the rules. I said I signed up for "mail mode."
I did this several years ago. With mail mode, every time someone posts a message to the list, I get a copy of that post. All of them are related to the Moses family in some way. Some of them pertain to one of my Moses branches, but not all of them contain information I can use.
I can answer any posting, or post my own questions or findings. This is a good advantage because if I have a genealogy problem that I haven't been able to answer through familysearch or ancestry I still have the possibility of connecting with someone who can help. This is a fun and easy way to become informed. There is also a "digest mode." It is a good option for some people. Instead of "l" in the request, a "d" is there.
Digest mode is a way to get all of the posts for a certain amount of time all at once. If the site is extremely busy you could used digest mode so you don't get a lot of emails all the time. If I ever decide I don't want to participate any more I can "unsubscribe" in the same way I subscribed. I can even switch between mail mode and digest mode.
Try it out. It is an easy way to have your family history questions looked at by others.

August 21, 2013 — "Changing Workplaces Changing Lives" is a great goal and mission, and it certainly helps one get out of bed in the morning. But as someone working in research—Catalyst's "behind the scenes" side—I can tell you I'm not always on the front lines when it comes to seeing that change in action.
As one of the leaders of Catalyst's internal Work-life Issues Specialty team (WLIST), I have a particular interest in work-life effectiveness. However, my strong feelings about the topic are most often witnessed (and occasionally triggered) by my husband. He works for a Fortune 100 company in a managerial role. It's a new culture for him, after years spent in the high-stress, long hours, corporate law firm environment, which I like to categorize as "ABB: Always Be Billing." Not only was my husband's Blackberry always attached to him in the bad old days; his charger was, too, so there'd be no chance of his being out of touch with his office, ever.
Following Hurricane Sandy, my spouse saw how Catalyst's flexible work options enabled me to stay in communication and continue working effectively. However, he still viewed Catalyst's approach as an odd exception rather than a bold new possibility. From early on in the pitch process for Catalyst's new Flex Works tool, I knew my husband was the audience I was trying to reach.
When Joan C. Williams said in her HBR blog, "It's not productivity. It's not innovation. It's identity," she was talking about men like him and people like us: victims of a "never say die" work ethic (or work-devotion schema). This model of behavior has been handed down to us by our parents. We grew up seeing it in action and we were taught to take pride in working hard and having a reputation for doing so. I can't help but wonder if my dad feels like the overtime he put in and the stress he endured as he sought to avoid the ultimately nonexistent "Y2K" catastrophe was time well spent.
So how do we break these habits, especially when Blackberry addictions are overtly or tacitly endorsed by most employers?
Organizations and managers need to communicate and demonstrate their commitment to flexible work policies, including encouraging a healthy separation between work life and home life. Individuals can and should consider how they can take pride in their work without setting unreasonable standards for themselves and their staff.
And from behind the scenes at Catalyst, I hope that Flex Works and our new study, The Great Debate: Flexibility vs. Face Time, will help organizations and employees worldwide to think more about trust and productivity. I take special pride in knowing that by the time Flex Works was released, one of my husband's direct reports had been approved and set up to work virtually (and seamlessly) from home on a full-time basis.

Back in December 2012, Mike 'The Gasman' Gastineau left sports-talk radio station KJR 950 AM. After more than two decades on-air at KJR, the longtime Seattle sports-talk personality wanted to try new things - a desire that quickly translated into his recently self-published book on the birth of Seattle Sounders FC.
Now things appear to be coming full circle.
Over the course of the last year Gastineau has set about redefining himself in the public spectrum - new soccer book, Sounders scarf and beer in hand - using his well-honed everyman personality to draw fans to the sport and to the MLS that might not have otherwise been interested.
Including KJR, it seems.
As I first discovered via SoundersNation.com, Gastineau has signed on to do a weekly soccer show on KRJ, every Tuesday night starting on April 15 at 7 p.m. Under the highly conceptualized name of "Seattle Soccer Talk Live," the Gasman's show will be recorded - you guessed it - live, alternating weekly between The Market Arms and the George and Dragon Pub. The first show will utilize The Market Arms as a backdrop, and according to SoundersNation.com will feature Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl and Dave Clark of the blog Sounder At Heart as guests.
"As I went around with the book, I kept hearing, 'Why isn't there more soccer coverage?' from people," explains Gastineau. "It occurred to me that that's a pretty good question."
According to Gastineau, a sponsor emerged in January - MetroPCS - that was interested in putting its name on a soccer show at KJR. The station, meanwhile, was also intrigued by the idea of attracting new listeners and growing its breadth of shows. Gastineau gives KJR credit for its willingness to give a soccer show a try. "A lot of stations wouldn't have even thought about this," he says.
The scheming culminated with Gastineau putting his name on the dotted line of a contract that will see his weekly soccer show run through November (or possibly December, depending on how long the Sounders' season stretches this year), with a goal, "at the very least," he says, of "making it a seasonal thing." Continuing Seattle Soccer Talk Live year-round, or eventually expanding the program to two hours, are also possibilities, "dictated by the response," Gastineau says.
"What this allows me to do, frankly, is make a little money in a subject I like, and in a medium I like," offers Gastineau of his return to the airwaves. "Who doesn't love sitting around bullshitting?"
That said, with nearly 10,000 copies of his self-titled book sold, and "a lot of lines in the water right now," as he puts it, Gastineau is also quick to note that the debut of his new soccer show is not a precursor to his full-time return to sports-talk radio.
"Some people will say, 'I thought you wanted to do something different,'" Gastineau speculates. "One hour on a Tuesday night talking about soccer is different. ... It still leaves me a lot of time to do other things."

Let's just say that the chances of using your own firearm to actually defend yourself or your family from harm is infinitesimally small, compared to the chances that the same firearm will be used to harm you or your family.. (either by a family member or someone else)..
I fully support constitutional rights, but most households would be safer without a firearm on the premises... maybe, they should just buy the warning signs, like we put out for home security... We don't have a security system, but the burglars think we do...

Kirstie....funny, my son came into town last night from his job at Ohio State. He's as much as a car enthusiast as I am. He said the new trend at the University is to put plain steel rims (the rustier the better) on BMWs, Acuras, etc. He said the students who are living on trust funds get bored and have started this trend. I guess local junk yards can't keep them in stock.
Go figure.
Mike, when I had my heart attack a couple of years ago, they had me on morphine, too. Like Fezo, while I don't remember much pain after the initial dose (the heart attack itself hurt like a mother), I do remember being paranoid, but not really caring one way or the other. Weird drug. Can't understand how someone would want to be addicted to it. It does a number on you if you're in pain, though.
Driver....maybe I shouldn't think this way. But, what if the guy who disappeared showing his truck to pontential buyers did so on purpose? Maybe he had it planeed out in advance? Actually, I hope that's the case and not what could be (kidnapped or murdered). If someone wanted a truck, just take it. Why go through the trouble of doing something much more sinister?2018 Acura TLX SH AWD ASpec

I fully support constitutional rights, but most households would be safer without a firearm on the premises.
In 2010 there were 606 deaths in the U.S. from accidental shootings, while estimates of people who successfully defended themselves range from a low of around 370,000 to a high of 2.5 million.
These stats are from "The Law Center To Prevent Gun Violence".
Lies, damned lies and statistics?
Any suicides included in that figure? What about intentional shootings?
From the CDC:
In 2009, suicide deaths by firearm: 19,392
That's just one category of firearm deaths that I cherry-picked...
Prices Paid, Lease Questions, SUVs0
I wouldn't classify suicide as an accidental shooting. Lots of ways to do yourself in. One of the few things that the gov. can't control. Maybe you could get Al Gore to start a campaign on the danger to humanity of bridges and tall buildings.
I agree.. suicide is not accidental..
But, I never meant to assert that the danger of a gun in the home was only accidental death (and, I don't think I did).. I just think having a gun in the home actually makes you less safe..
32,000 gun deaths per year in the U.S.
Driving a car is safer than owning a gun.. (And.... Back on topic!).

Please folks, leave your political thoughts at the door. The one great thing about this forum is that we don't touch on sensitive subjects like religion and politics, so please, let's keep it that way. I'd hate to have to leave this forum due to people spouting their "opinions" on these subjects. let's keep things light...please!

I thank G-d for the morphine sulfate that I am taking as it lets me live basically. The two side effects you mention I've dealt with for awhile now but they are things that I just live with...the benefits far outweigh these minor irritations. Of all the meds that we tried, this one just works so I can function and just get on with things...our situations are a bit different as after a few weeks or so, your pain will go away.

Well, at least sandy understands that guns are a political issue, not a safety issue. A good civil discussion and my last post on this topic.
My stats show only about 8,000 gun related deaths in 2011. Of these, 99% were with already illegal guns, and mostly committed by very bad guys.
Let's enforce the laws we already have, instead of taking guns from the good guys. Just saying.
I thank G-d for the morphine sulfate that I am taking as it lets me live basically.
Sandy, those drugs have other effects as well. They can make you nauseous, dizzy, and since you do a lot of driving, they can be dangerous. If you are involved in an accident and they do a blood test on you, it could cause some serious legal problems for you as well. Narcotics can be detected in your blood for a month after you last took them.
Just be careful with those drugs.

I asked him where he advertised it and it was a local free paper.
You can also view it online.
I looked at his ad. It was a good ad, but no picture and it did NOT include a price.
He seemed happy with what he got for it.2017 Ford Fusion SE 2017 Ford F-150 Limited0
jayrider Posts: 3,602The key for opiate use for pain is that it works and without it your life can be unlivable. You are dependent on them to improve everyday functioning. That is different from being addicted as in abuser. You take them to be involved in living -- not to escape the struggles we all have in our lives. Still, they do need monitoring -- be thankful you found something that works. Chronic pain is a b****.0
mako1a VirginiaPosts: 1,855I've never owned a Saab, but from what I've seen they hold value for about 5 minutes.
My cousin has one and loves it because they have so many personal comfort settings that they tailor themselves to the driver. Then again I've seen them in an auction setting with some of the lowest bids ever recorded. Perhaps they need a guaranteed trade-in or buyback incentive.

Saab is one of the saddest stories. On Top Gear they showed late 80s Saab 900 and contemporary BMW 3-series dropped by a crane from several stories on their tops. It was staggering to see the difference. Saabs were probably safest cars on road, but nobody knew that. The rally version was strong it did not need safety cage (it still needed it by regulation, but the body was actually strong enough without it). Unfortunately, at that time, people would rather pay for new stereo than for actual safety. Saabs were too expensive for peoples' priorities of the time. BTW it is too late for any program, Saab is gone.

The amount I take is pretty low actually since I can't take many drugs...even the pharmacist mentioned it's a relatively low dose. I get tested at the doc's office at least twice a year and so far everything is kosher. It has no effect on my driving or thought process at all!

Absolutely...I can live again with their "monitored" use and don't abuse them. For those who've never experienced chronic pain, it really is very hard to live with as it invades every facet of your life...it never gives up and it is relentless. These meds help me "manage" it so I can function normally thus the difference between them and a recreational one...trust me, if I didn't need them to live, I'd never take them as I usually hate any kind of medication...period!

Good - I am just worried about your health. I have 30mg tablets of morphine sulphate. I am to take 1-2 tablets every 4 hours for the first couple of days, then reduce the dosage to no more than 1 tablet every 4 hours. I took these after getting out of the hospital and it sure gave me a buzz and constipated me.
But low dosages I would image would be more tolerable.

what if the guy who disappeared showing his truck to pontential buyers did so on purpose?
I considered that too. A few things though, they did find his cell phone a few miles away.
The same two guys looked at another truck a few days earlier, they didn't do anything but the guy selling the truck was a huge guy - might not have wanted to mess with him.
Police say the missing guy has no enemies. He seemed to be a happy family guy with no problems.
But, you never know...that would be wierd too though!

y showed late 80s Saab 900 and contemporary BMW 3-series dropped by a crane
My wife liked Volvos for their safety. In 1992 she needed a hatchback and so she leased a 1992 Saab. It was a great handling car, and was solid as a rock....it really felt safe. The Saab was a manual and you just new the engineers who made it knew what they were doing.
That was the last Saab before GM got their hands on the company. I think they started using parts from the GM bin after that, and Saab was no longer a Saab....it was a SOB!
driver....maybe shows how cynical I am, but the first thing I thought about reading about the guy showing his truck and then disappearing was he did so on purpose.
Now, there would be easier ways to end a relationship, or to remove yourself from your marriage. But, under the guise of a test drive and then disappearing would certainly be the least messy. Could explain why the cell phone was tossed, too. Of course, not sure if it's legal to just disappear leaving a wife and child behind in the lurch. At best, the guy would be a real jacka** for doing so. At least he'd be alive and supposedly unharmed.
SAABs....older sister (not the one who just bought the Acura) used to love those cars. I think the last one she had was a 9-5. Not sure the year, but probably early oughts? I think she had a couple of 900s at one point, too....one a turbo. Talk about turbo lag. You'd wait a second or two after pressing down on the accelerator when nothing happened. Then.....WHOOSH.......hang on to the steering wheel tight as you hit terminal velocity.
Last I saw, there was one SAAB dealership in this area. He closed up shop a couple of years ago, though. I know he had a tiny dealership across the street from my favorite food market. He had a big sign out front before he closed his doors that said something like....
"Any SAAB in stock 1/2 off MSRP." I still see the last ones SAAB put out. Not bad looking cars at all.

GG, I don't think you were overly cynical at all in thinking the guy just wanted to find a way to escape. Especially these days, people have tried all kinds of ways to do that....there are still some people who made a new life after 9/11.
Just an update. One of the guys who came to test drive the truck had an unusual tattoo, it says "ambition" with a square box around it. He test drove another truck a few days before. They have caught that guy....hopefully he tells them something.
About Saabs, I test drove a 2008 convertible and it was a blast to drive. Nicely balanced too, great engineering. I ended up with the bmw though, for about $5000 more I got a hardtop convertible, RWD, up to the minute engineering, and a car that would hold it's value a lot better.
Since GM didn't have the money to put into Saab, I would research the reliability of a Saab before buying a used one.......but, they don't disappoint as far as being fun to drive.
OK....so a few months ago I had made reservations for a cruise on Norwegian for the (then) GF and me. Obviously, I'm now a "solo". Never done anything like this before (sailing solo), but since it was paid for, and cancelling would have cost at least a hefty portion of what I paid, I decided to go.
So, this cruise is sailing 3 weeks from today out of NYC. Because of several reasons, I can not fly into NYC until the day of the cruise. And, the earliest flight I can get (from any airport within a 100 mile radius) flies out of Cincinnati at 9:20 a.m. I land at LGA at 11:20 a.m. Not much in the way of leeway if something goes awry with the flight. Cruise leaves port at 4:00 p.m. I have to be aboard by 2:00 p.m.
So, I have fingers crossed that there are no flight delays, the weather is fine, that Delta actually has a flight crew that shows up on time, that they have enough ground crew to handle the take off and landing, that Delta doesn't come up with some excuse that makes no sense they can't take off on time, etc. I don't know how far the cruise terminals are from LGA. Let's say that I land on time. That my luggage is off-loaded quickly (Is LaGuardia pretty efficient? I have flown into JFK and Newark, but never LaGuardia), that taxis are plentiful and immediately available.
Is it realistic to think a have a good chance of making this sailing? Or am I being delusional?
I might be able to fly into NYC on the Saturday before. But, aside from the cost (~$300/night for a hotel in Manhattan for a place to sleep :surprise: ), I would really have to do some major work and personal shuffling to do so.2018 Acura TLX SH AWD ASpec

The funny part was that Saabs of that time were much safer than Volvos, but nobody knew that.

Is this the S4 lady? Sorry to hear if it is but think you'll have a great time anyways. You can be yourself on the high seas and just enjoy yourself. Sometimes being alone for a spell kinda puts one's life into perspective. But am sorry if you are.
Have heard from folks that the Norwegian cruises are top notch and we are planning to do one next May, the calmest months down South here. I just hope the ships are "cane" friendly and that I don't get seasick, which has happened in the past. But I hear cruises are the best vacations bar none and the party starts the moment one gets on board! Can't wait to see if this is true!

I have no issues going solo. Just want to make certain I don't literally "miss the boat" and the odds of actually flying to LGA, landing and deplaning on time, negotiating luggage retrieval, getting a ride to the pier, negotiating the pier's crowd and boarding by 1-2 p.m.2018 Acura TLX SH AWD ASpec

From LaGuardia to the west side of Manhattan is about a 45 minute drive with no traffic. I believe you said the cruise is on a Sunday - so traffic should not be too bad. You'll probably go over to Manhattan.via the 59th St. Bridge (Queensborough Bridge) then straight west to the Hudson River. You should be OK. You have 2-1/2 hours at least to get from the airport to the west side, which is plenty of time on a Sunday.

You will be bombarded with sales pitches however. They sell watches, have art auctions etc. They constantly take photos that you can buy if you so desire. The excursions they try to sell you at the various ports can be expensive too.
Now, you don't have to do any of these things but be aware that they do add up. Our last crusie was on Norwegian and a beer was 8.00.
They sell spa treatments and their casinos are a great place (trust me) to drop
a few bucks in a hurry!
Also be aware that the prices for bar drinks INCLUDE a 15% gratituty even though there is a line to add another tip.
Norwegian was fine but we perfer Royal Caribbean. We wouldn't hesitate to
take Norwegian again.

13 Incredible Company Perks
From fledgling tech start-ups to household-name corporations, employers both big and small are continuously upping the ante when it comes to finding ways to keep their workers happy. While unusually cool perks like Etsy's playground-esque open lofts, or simply invaluable incentives such as the unlimited vacation days offered at Gravity Payments (that's right -- unlimited) might not be the deciding factor in someone's decision to accept a job, they can certainly be a factor. Smart employers know this, and make a point to incorporate additional takeaways into a job offer (besides the opportunity of employment itself). From onsite "Kegerators" to employer-subsidized egg freezing for female employees (seriously), here's a rundown of some of the most interesting perks* currently satisfying employees and enticing potential hires.

Environmental cleanup work is scheduled to resume this month in St. Mary Parish at Marine Shale Processors, an abandoned hazardous waste incinerator where old tanks and equipment have sat dormant since the controversial facility closed in 1996.
Crews will begin emptying the industrial waste from the old tanks and dismantling equipment at the 7-acre site near Amelia, the state Department of Environmental Quality announced Thursday.
"The goal is to get the property to a condition where it can be put back into commerce," DEQ attorney Chris Ratcliff said.
Marine Shale closed in 1996 amid a legal battle with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and DEQ.
The company claimed it had a process to transform oil field waste into an aggregate material safe to use for road construction.
Federal regulators labeled the company a "sham recycler" and moved to shut Marine Shale down for not having the proper permits for hazardous waste disposal.
The effort to clean up the site has continued for about 16 years as the litigation wore on and regulators developed a plan and worked to secure funds from Marine Shale and others to pay for the work.
"It's been a frustratingly slow process, and we've done our best to move it along," Ratcliff said.
The first phase of the cleanup project was in 2007 and 2008 when crews emptied and removed several waste tanks that were leaking or in danger of falling apart.
The next phase beginning this month is to empty and remove the remaining tanks and most of the structures at the site, a project expected to take up to 100 days, according to DEQ.
Once the Marine Shale site is cleared, soil and groundwater tests will be conducted to determine what other remediation measures are needed, DEQ said.
There is no timeline for completion of the cleanup effort and no firm estimate for the total bill.
The earlier work cost about $2 million and the work beginning this month will cost about $4.7 million, according to figures from DEQ.
Some of the funding comes from about $6.5 million that Marine Shale paid into a court registry several years ago while the litigation was pending and then forfeited as part of a settlement.
Marine Shale is now insolvent, and any additional cleanup expenses will be paid by a group of 17 companies that sent waste to Marine Shale to be processed, Ratcliff said.

We have just completed our second week of High Line Spring Cutback.
Spring Cutback is an intense six week-long process in which we cut back the High Line's wild grasses, perennials, and shrubs to make way for new spring growth. It's our biggest horticultural task of the year and High Line Gardeners couldn't do it without the help of a dedicated group of volunteers. Stop by the park and see the transformation underway as spring bulbs and new green growth pop up, and follow us after the jump for an update on this week's work.
This week our staff and volunteers worked their way through the Chelsea Grasslands, the area on the High Line between West 18th Street to West 20st Street. Stop by the High Line and you'll notice that the tall grasses have been cut back to reveal the rail tracks that aren't often visible and new spring growth.
They also began work on the new section of the park. Since is the first time we're cutting back here, our staff and volunteers worked cautiously to protect the many trees and new spring bulbs that you'll find between West 20th to West 21st Streets.
We would like to extend a special thanks to UNIQLO, which recently opened a flagship store in Midtown and moved to our neighborhood in new corporate offices above the High Line at West 14th Street. UNIQLO is a supporter of High Line Spring Cutback, and on Tuesday a large group of the company's employees joined us in the planting beds to lend a hand. Thank you to the UNIQLO team for their help!
All this work means that our tools are in need of a new sharpening. It's a rainy day in New York City, so today High Line Gardeners are spending time sharpening shears, scissors, and pruners to get ready for next week.

Phillies Fans PSA: Stop It
The Nats' efforts to bolster fan attendance in the run up to this weekend's first home series against the Phillies have been well-documented. It began in February, when the presale for individual game tickets was restricted to D.C., Maryland, and Virginia addresses only, and when COO Andy Feffer, along with other team officials, urged Nationals fans to "take back the park." The notion has become a bit of a rallying cry for a team that could be entering a new era of competitiveness, one which may even have arrived earlier than anyone expected. Feffer and the team have offered further enticements, such as free tickets to future games with the purchase of tickets to this series. Mayor Vincent Gray gave the whole thing an official sheen by declaring this weekend "Natitude Weekend" and encouraging the locals to "show support of their hometown team." It will likely not succeed to the extent that the organization is hoping, although they do claim some improvement in the proportion of in-area ticket sales so far.
Depressingly, and predictably, the reaction from Phillies fans and media has been equal parts bitter and condescending. By and large, the Twittersphere has been issuing a collective snort at the whole thing since it first arose. Noted perverted half-wit and habitual plagiarist Kyle Scott of the e-rag Crossing Broad has tweeted and posted endless whining on the topic, and has devoted whole posts to "The Takeover," a 200 person bus trip (for a mere $120!) that will instantly become the most obnoxious thing happening on the planet for every second of its sweaty, Bud-Light-Lime-soaked existence.
What a shock.
Ed Rendell, trying to cling to relevance, also got in on the act. Various Philadelphia media members, including baseball writers and radio personalities (mostly on the Angelo Cataldi tier of the Insufferability Spectrum) have otherwise mocked or chided the Nats' efforts. Superficially, the tone is haughty amusement, but there is a discernible undercurrent of surprise and indignation — how dare they. Universally, these responses lack any measure of self-awareness and pay no mind to present or historical context.
I've lived full-time in the Washington, D.C. area since 2005, and have attended a great many Nationals games. Both in the RFK days and since the new stadium was built, I've made a point of going to every Nationals/Phillies game that my schedule could feasibly accomodate, and many other Nationals home contests when the weather was fair and I hankered for live baseball. I had the pleasure of watching Ryan Zimmerman come into his own, Elijah Dukes doing . . . Elijah Dukes stuff, and Adam Dunn hitting the longest of long flies. I vividly remember, on a humid September night at RFK stadium in 2007, watching the Phillies beat the Nationals 7-6 on the strength of a Jimmy Rollins double, and then huddling around a friend's blackberry as the crowd dispersed, tracking the Marlins' 4 run comeback against the Mets in the 9th and 10th innings in Miami. The Phillies pulled within 1.5 games of the Mets that night, in a pennant race that inaugurated a new era of Phillies baseball.
After the new stadium was built, the atmosphere at Phillies/Nats games grew more adversarial, as Phillies fans realized that, in the numbers in which they traveled, and the numbers they already had in the DC area, they could create a home away from home — "CBP South," as it came to be called by many. I can't say that I didn't get swept up in it, at least a little bit. It's gratifying to see your team's fans showing substantial support away from home, especially after many years of the Phillies being irrelevant to the NL East and to the league as a whole. But I had grown to like the Nationals as a team, along with their new, easily-accessible and cheap-to-attend stadium, and I found that, as the "CBP South" culture took hold, the atmosphere got uglier. It all came to an embarrassing head at the Nationals' home opener in 2010, a Phillies game, where Phils fans again packed the stadium, bolstered by a few bus trips not unlike the one mentioned above. The Nationals' Opening Day ceremony had all of the usual rituals. Except, as the Nationals' roster was announced, and the players ran from the dugout to the first base line, Phillies fans chanted "SUCKS" after each name, and drowned out the music and announcements with booing in between.
They behaved similarly for the rest of the game. It was the most humiliated I ever remember feeling as a Phillies fan. Sitting next to me was a man in a weathered Nationals cap who had to be in his mid-70s, who regarded the whole thing with disbelief. I don't know if he was a converted Orioles fan, a Senators fan from way back, or even an Expos fan, and it didn't seem as if he wanted to talk about it to me, covered in Phillies gear from head to toe. I tried to make a show of how disgusted I was by the whole thing, but I don't think I could've possibly done enough given what was happening. No future Phillies game at the park was quite as bad as that, but they weren't that much better either.
This is the root of the "Our Park" movement by Nationals fans, and it's disappointing that Phillies fans do not, or at least pretend not to, understand why it needs to happen. Fans of a team that have had as rough a go as the Nationals have since their inception need to pull as much enjoyment out of the little things as possible — individual player skills, fanfare, early-season hopes, and the simple joy of a ballpark atmosphere. To have the superior team's fans flood the ballpark and make a big show of it — just because they can — momentarily ruins that experience. Nationals fans are no less fans of the game of baseball than Phillies fans (probably moreso, if we're talking about the kind of people that make asses of themselves at Nationals Park), and they know — really, they know — that the Phillies have been the better team these last 7 years, that Citizens Bank is stuffed to the gills all of the time, and that Phillies fans are capable of operating a motor vehicle for two and a half hours on I-95 South. They know these things without a great red horde undertaking every effort to mock them in their own ballpark.
The natural rebuttal to this has been, roughly, "if they don't like it, they should fill their own stadium." And it's true, the Nationals have struggled with attendance, finishing either 13th or 14th in the NL in each season since Nationals Park was built. But it's easy for a Phillies fan to forget, nowadays, just how difficult it is to fill the stadium for a bad or even mediocre team. The Phillies had a similar run of attendance woes from 1997 to 2003, finishing 14th in attendance 4 times, 13th once, 12th once, and 10th once. True, these figures improved significantly when the Phillies got their new ballpark in 2004, but the team was getting better too; the Phillies averaged 77 wins per season from 1997-2003, and 86 wins per season from 2004-2006. I will happily watch a 100 loss Phillies team every day of the week, but it's tough to blame fans for not filling the park to see some of the recent Nationals teams.
They did, of course, pack 40,315 people into the park for the June 8, 2010 debut of Stephen Strasburg, a preview of the future of their organization. I had the pleasure of attending, and the atmosphere rivaled any playoff game at Citizens' Bank Park (particularly the most recent one I attended, game 5 of the 2011 NLDS, in which the crowd was conspicuously subdued). The crowd's steady roar built with each strike, compounded by each time the radar gun showed triple digits, and the place exploded for each of Strasburg's 14 strikeouts. Yes, Bryce Harper's debut was not well-attended, but there is much less of a sense among Nationals fans and baseball fans as a whole that this was his true debut — he was placed on the roster with Ryan Zimmerman heading to the DL, and the consensus is that he's not quite ready for the big leagues. If this 2012 Nationals team finishes on as high a level of competitiveness as they're exhibiting now, I don't think they'll have any problem bringing people out in 2013.
I'm sure that this weekend, despite the Nationals' efforts, is still going to be characterized by a dominant Phillies fan presence, and that ignoble bus trip will leave some kind of embarrassing mark on the whole thing. Nationals fandom and media may grow angrier, and that might escalate matters. But any Phillies fan who takes the smallest moment for some introspection should not be surprised or bothered by the Our Park movement. Because it is their park, and because Phillies fans remember what it's like to see a nine guys who are probably going to lose take the field every day. The "Takeover" and all similar fan and media responses will only validate the rest of the country's low opinion of the Philadelphia fandom.

After working so hard for the past couple years to rebuild my credit and FINALLY having scores ranging from 640-717 consistently for the past year and having 100% ON TIME PAYMENTS since 2008, I am DEVASTATED at what happened to my credit score, and am hoping there is a way to correct it because it will take YEARS to get my scores back up and it is just not fair!
Here is the situation....I have a lot of federal student loans for my schooling that I never consolidated because I am still in school and was told not to since I'm still in school and/or always qualified for forbearance if not enrolled in a particular semester. In August, I received a notification from Credit Karma stating that I have 15 accounts now being reported 90 days late and my score dropped OVER 80 POINTS!!!! I never received anything from the Loan Dept., and immediately called them to get it resolved. I did, and am "current" on ALL student loans now, however the damage has been done. My score dropped to 578 in Aug. and now is up to 591 in Sept. but I want it back to where it was!!! THIS IS NOT FAIR! Because of so many small loans which shows as individual accounts, my score is getting affected 15x what it should have been and for something that I was not even aware was due and immediately cleared up once I found out!
Is there anything I can do to fix my credit score? It will take years for this negative info to go away...there went all my hard work, what a joke! I'm so mad and discouraged! On my credit report it states that all those accounts will be in positive status by 4/2017....they are current now, this is just ridiculous!
ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS AND GUIDANCE regarding this matter is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!! THANK YOU!!
You could try disputing it with the CRAs. Its a 50/50 shot. IMO, do the dispute around the holidays, if they get no response within 30 days from the creditor, they will have to delete the TL or fix the problem according to the FCRA.
I"m really sorry to hear this. The best suggestion that I have to make is that you should re-post this in the "Student Loans" area of the forum---I think that you'll receive more solid and comprehensive counsel there about how to deal with your lender and their mis-reporting of your 90-day lates. I seriously doubt that trying to convince the CRAs to delete, without some corroboration by your lender about this being in error, will be successful. Good luck!.

I agree, have you spoke with anyone high up from the lender about the situation?
Actually I have experience with this, after 10+ calls with sallie mae and the DoE you basically cannot do a thing. You cannot combine the loans in order to have it report as a single late, they will not delete, and they basically will not modify anything unless it is flat out incorrect. I have tried for the last year to do any of the above, because I had 3 student loans that did the same as you, the response I got was that they sent mail stating it was coming due, and it is my fault for not changing my address/putting in incorrect information for me to be able to get the mail.
I still call them every couple weeks hoping I will get someone that will make an exception and take it off, because if I had defaulted and been 150 day or more late, after 6 months they would delete everything, so I am being epenlized for taking the responsibility and paying what I had to as soon as I was informed that it was due. :-(
Did you take 1 semester off? If so, 6 months from then, they will try to start collecting because it is viewed that you stopped going to school. However, I find schools are often slow at letting lenders know you actually went back. If you did not take off, make sure that your school never changed your enrollment status at some point without you knowing.
If you took anytime off from school, then I do not think there is much you can do. I think it states somewhere in your loan agreements (it did with most of mine) that it is up to the borrower (and not the school) to contact the loan holders if you go back to school.
That being said, if none of the above are valid, you should open up a dispute with all 3 of the credit bureaus. Make sure you have your loan agreements on hand as well as proof you have been enrolled at least half time (above 6 credits). I am pretty sure anything below 6 credits changes your status to part time and I am not sure if you still qualify for forbearance below 6 credits.
What do you mean when you say you got it resolved? Were you actually 90 days late and you made payments to bring it current? Did you forget to request forbearance and then put the loans in forbearance? If this is misreported, I would think it wouldn't be too hard to fix. But if you really went 90 days late, I don't think there's anything you can do about the fact that it reports as 15 separate loans rather than one loan. You'll probably just have to write GW letters.
Who are you dealing with? If it's Sallie Mae, and it was their mistake, they will fix it. You will have to google for things like "Sallie Mae CEO" to get some names. Once someone higher up gets on your case, they will look into it. (I know from experience). Don't bother with the 1-800 number. Waste of time.
I'm sorry to say, but I have had no success with getting SL lates deleted; they have to age off. I hate the way student loans report, btw. Even in consolidation, I still have 4 separate student loans reporting. AND, when you consolidate, they close the old ones and open brand new ones, so I now have 4 shiny new loans dragging down my AAoA, when some of them are from 15 years ago. Point being, consolidation isn't going to help you anyway.
Lesson I learned from student loans: It is my responsibility to keep up with my finances. It is not the lenders (or creditors) job to keep me informed.
I know it stinks, but it's not "not fair". It's a learning opportunity for you.
That said, write your GW letters anyway because you never know when you might land on the right person's desk.

What started as a small, annual tradition among friends will become a community event on March 9 when Communify: Buffalo hosts a "Spring Clothing Exchange" at the Pierce Arrow Film & Arts Center, 1685 Elmwood Ave., Buffalo.
Attendees will bring clothing they are ready to part with, hang the clothes, and begin exchanging. All leftover clothing is donated to Goodwill of WNY.
Communify, formerly known as Buffalo Friends Co-Op Initiative, began as a Facebook page encouraging the use of exchanging and bartering, as well as creating opportunities to help others in the community. After receiving a tremendous response, creator Stephanie Brochey, a 2006 Niagara-Wheatfield High School graduate, rebranded and has launched it as Communify: Buffalo.
The "Spring Clothing Exchange" is the first event being held by Communify and Brochey said she hopes it will "bring people out from behind the computer and start to get them connected."
"I've held many clothing exchanges on a much smaller scale with close friends. I felt that this event would be a perfect kick off for Communify; it has the potential to really do some good, and to get people interested in participating in fun events that have positive results within their community," she said.
Second Chic, an Elmwood Village consignment shop, will be there to place items on consignment that attendees would like to try and sell.
"I knew some people would have items they weren't comfortable exchanging due to their worth. We're very excited to have Second Chic there to offer attendees an opportunity to sell those items on consignment at their shop," Brochey said.
Communify is asking for clean, used clothing in good condition. Attendees are asked to leave with the same (or less) amount of clothes that they brought in.
The "Spring Clothing Exchange" will be held from 8 to 10 p.m. There will be a $5 donation at the door.
"Like" Communify on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/CommunifyBuffalo.

I am going with maroon red, black, with white accents for the color.
I had this clever idea after seeing the use of chalkboard paint around blog land.
I'm making Chalkboard Chargers on the table at each place setting, and then thought it would be so cool to give them as party favors afterwards. Each guest could take home the charger and use it as a menu board at home by hanging it on the kitchen wall. You can write in the center of the plate each day what's for dinner so no more of the dreaded "What's for dinner?"
How fun would that be?
The Chalkboard chargers were really easy to make.
I purchased my chargers at Big Lots in their clearance section.
Then I primed them so the paint would take easier. It was simple to coat a thin layer on each plate. I REALLY recommend buying the spray paint nozzle if you can (I found mine down on the bottom shelf of the spray paint isle at Walmart). It makes spray painting SO much easier and avoids the dreaded spray paint all over your cramped hands! I LOOOOVVVVEEE it.
I bought mine at Walmart in the spray paint section. It was cheaper than purchasing at Hobby Lobby or Jo-Anns by several dollars, and it was so much easier to use the spray paint than the bottle of chalkboard paint I had originally bought. (Yea, that got returned.)
Then, I waited for them to dry. (Don't put them outside on a windy day to dry thinking it will be faster...they just blow away and break. *Sigh*)
Now you can write different ideas around the charger for each different party theme if you want. Pretty versatile. You can write Happy Easter on them. Or Happy Birthday. Or just Have a Great Day!
Or if you want something more permanent, you can cut out a Menu saying using your cutting machine and vinyl to hang on the wall. Or even, just write with a paint pen around the outside.

text: cstovin 2 Report post Posted April 18, 2013 Hi all, I still have a problem with my wheel, and after talking to someone at my art center, and with the people here, I am sure that my wheel head is bent and "not true" ever so slightly. But, since I am fairly new to wheel turning and this has been problematic, I was pretty bummed to find this out! But, after working with it, I decided I had two options, three at best: I could sell it and hope to get my money out of it and advertise it as "not true", I could give up, or I could force myself to learn to use it. It hasn't been an easy two weeks, but things are getting easier and I have managed to turn a few small pots on it, so needless to say, I am learning to use it. Buying replacement parts aren't an option for me right now, we don't have the funds. BUT - here lies my problem now.....how do you trim a foot on a pot when the wheel is not true? I have tried a few, but if the wheel is not centered, then how do I get my foot "centered"? Or am I making too much out of this? lol Thank you!

Hey, I Remember That!: A look at area sports 10, 25 and 50 years ago
50 Years Ago This Week – 1962
Fifty years ago this week, the St. Marys Roughriders squared off against the Bellefontaine Chieftains and had little trouble as they rolled to a 25-14 victory.
The Roughriders buried the Chieftains all night with long touchdown runs, as they improved to 3-3 on the season with hopes of capturing the Western Buckeye League title still hanging in the balance.
Following an uneventful and scoreless first period, the Roughriders caught fire in the second quarter beginning with Tom Hollman's 71-yard touchdown sprint that put his team in front 6-0, where it remained after the failed PAT.
Terry Young added to the excitement later in the period with a 56 yard scoring run. The Roughriders stayed in front 12-0 through the halftime break before extending their lead in the third quarter after Ronnie Jones went 30 yards on a reverse for another St. Marys touchdown.
Although the Cheiftains managed a touchdown later in the period, the Roughriders answered in the fourth quarter with another reverse from Jones for a touchdown – this one from 40-yards out, making the score 25-7.
The Chieftains added one more score in the closing minutes, but it wasn't enough as St. Marys cruised to the 11-point win.
25 Years Ago This Week – 1987
Despite a formidable challenge from the New Bremen Cardinals, the Minster Wildcats held on in the end of the 1987 Midwest Athletic Conference girls cross country championship to pick up their sixth straight MAC title in as many years.
In the end, the Wildcats held off a furious upset bid from the Cardinals before finishing with the one-point victory.
On the other end of the results, the Wildcat boys were also victorious, as they left Coldwater with their second consecutive conference crown.
For the girls', New Bremen's Julie Robbins captured the individual title, while teammate Michelle Niekamp finished the afternoon in third place.
The Wildcats were led by Jenny Geake in fourth place overall, while three of her teammates all placed in the top ten.
Minster standout Dane Schubert took home his second consecutive individual MAC title, while the Wildcats' Travis Langenkamp edged into second place in a time of 17:21.
Minster's Mo Bornhorst was the only other area finisher in the top ten, as he concluded the day in sixth place overall.
10 Years Ago This Week – 2002
Ten years ago this week, the Minster Wildcats hosted the Parkway Panthers in Midwest Athletic Conference football action and despite leading just 14-7 at intermission, rolled on to the easy 42-7 victory.
The Wildcats were powered by Ty Parks the entire game, but never more so than in the third quarter, where his four carries totaled 122 yards. For the contest, Parks finished with 193 yards on 19 carries, while crossing the goal line five times. Midway through the third quarter, he broke Minster's all-time rushing record of 1,182 yards, while he finished the contest with nearly 1,300 rushing yards on his resume through nine games.
Justin Gushing picked up Minster's other touchdown when he hauled in a 27-yard scoring strike from quarterback Scott Sherman in the third quarter to put their team in charge, 34-7.
Kicker Ty Whitford was a perfect six-for-six on extra points, adding to the Wildcats' potent scoring barrage.
