If you're anything like me, the mere mention of "Lanesborough" conjures up images of the Old Forge. But, the 11th most populated town in the Berkshires has much more than chicken wings and an impressive beer selection — 29.6 square miles of mountain trails, picking farms, geological wonders and aerial obstacle courses!
Take Your Pick
During strawberry season, our first stop in Lanesborough is always Mountain View Farm on Old Cheshire Road, where visitors can hitch a tractor ride down into the strawberry fields for some picking (and eating).
Another favorite stop, just up Old Cheshire Road, is Lakeview Orchards, where something is always in season, with pick your own apples, cherries, peaches, pears, plums, apricots, raspberries and blueberries! The farm store is also well-stocked with fresh treats from the bakery and kitchen. (The cider and donuts are a big hit.) View the Lakeview Orchards "Pick-Your-Own" schedule.
And, the Bradley Farm (located just past Country Tack) on Route 7 is yet another terrific Lanesborough option for locally grown, organic produce.
Stay and Play
Take it from a playground connoisseur, the Lanesborough Elementary School playground is hands-down one of the nicest outdoor play spaces in the Berkshires. It features two massive play structures, one fenced in and toddler friendly and one that will appeal to kids of all ages. Not to mention a full-court basketball court, soccer fields, paved walk ways for bikes/scooters, a picnic pavilion and even porta potties during the summer months. (Note: One BFF reader did report a lock on the gate of the smaller playground at the school, but my go-to source for all things Lanesborough tells me that while one gate is often locked, the second gate leading into the fenced-in play area is kept unlocked.)
The Bill Laston Memorial Field on Route 7, also features two play structures, a baseball field and a paved walking track that circles the ball field. It's perfect for strollers, scooters and young bikers. The park is also dog friendly (on a leash).
Explore New Heights
While Lanesborough has no shortage of hiking trails (Mt. Greylock, Ashuwillticook Rail Trail, Balance Rock State Park) the recent talk of the town (and the entire Northeast) is Ramblewild, an eco-conscious, state-of-the-art, tree-to-tree adventure park featuring eight aerial obstacle courses.
Though my four and five-year-old were too young to zip line 100 feet above a ravine (ages seven and up and at least 55 inches tall are welcome to participate), they did enjoy our recent visit to the park, where we explored one of the moderate hiking trails, discovered several of the post-mounted, trail-side "Would You Have Known" facts and took in some aerial action from our vantage point safely on the ground.
Park employee, Madeline Gaskill, made the return trip with me down the mountain. Patiently ignoring the grumbling coming from my two tired hiking buddies, she answered all of my questions and filled me in on many of the park highlights.
Bookings are filling up quickly, well into the summer and beyond. There are eight courses spread over 10 acres of preserved forest land; two yellow, two green, two blue, one back diamond and one double-black diamond. The park remains open through the winter and discounted "twilight", night time and "full moon" adventures are very popular. The park also remains open through the winter months, offering guided snowshoeing excursions (snowshoes available on sight).
Note: Hiking at Ramblewild is free and open to the public, but the park asks that all visitors drop into the lodge to sign a waiver, before exploring the property.
One Stone Unturned
One more not-to-be-missed, family-friendly hiking spot in Lanesborough is Balance Rock State Park. Follow Route 7 to Bull Hill Road; left on Narragansett Ave.; right on Balance Rock Road, and follow signs to parking area. (Warning: The access road is badly in need of repair. Take it slow.)
Just below the parking area lies a 165-ton, 30-foot limestone boulder, balanced impossibly upon the 3-foot stone below and covered with generations of graffiti. Kids can't help but try to finish off the job that the glacial era couldn't, by trying to topple the bounder over once and for all. The photo opportunities are endless!
And, yes, I do realize that the access road to Mount Greylock does also lie in Lanesborough, but I as I did for the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail, I have reserved a full "Berkshire Grounds for Play" post for the highest peak in the Commonwealth. [Coming Soon…]

Playoff run sets stage for next season
By Brian Gomez
Corona del Sol High School football coach Gary Venturo could second-guess himself until he's orange in the face.
It won't do much good. He might as well look toward next season. After all, there's no shame in that, considering what his team accomplished this year.
The Aztecs (9-3) strung together eight consecutive wins, matching their longest streak since the 1988-89 seasons. They captured their first Central Region title since 1991. And they advanced to the Class 5A quarterfinals, beating Peoria 21-17 before suffering a 21-17 loss against Gilbert Highland.
Venturo loses 29 seniors, including quarterback Blaise Johnson, running back Daniel McClendon and tight end Michael Yarbrough. Also gone are linebackers Kirk Cox and Jake Taylor, defensive back Jeff Sinay, kicker Tony Vidaure and punter Stephen Harper.
The onus for leadership next season will fall on junior wide receiver Matt Mosley and sophomore wide receiver Blaine Irby, who already is being recruited by four-year schools. Juniors Casey Shreiner, Matt Saba and Aaron Kuhl also will figure into the mix at wide receiver.
Candidates to replace McClendon at running back include sophomore Justin Salum and juniors Jeff Zunino, Matt Finstad and Andy Stitt. Junior Kevin Hager is expected to handle the kicking duties.
"We'll be competitive again," said Venturo, whose team marked its fourth consecutive winning season. "We got to play most kids in the third and fourth quarter, so we got a lot of kids playing time. In high school, that's what it's about."
For Venturo, it's not easy trying to shake the painful memories of a season-ending loss against Highland.
Buoyed by McClendon's 95-yard fumble return for a touchdown, Corona jumped ahead 17-7 midway through the third quarter, only to watch its lead vanish in the closing minutes.
Junior quarterback Ryan Fair found senior running back Derek Denning for a 20-yard touchdown pass, and then junior running back John Hershberger scored on a 1-yard TD run with 40 seconds left, putting Highland on top for good.
"They weren't any more talented than we were," Venturo said. "We knew it was going to be a close game and that one team was going to come out on top. We probably could have advanced, but it just didn't happen."
Johnson finished the season with 712 yards passing and 10 touchdown passes. He was intercepted three times. He also rushed for 820 yards and 11 touchdowns and caught six passes for 136 yards and a touchdown.
McClendon rushed for 941 yards and 12 touchdowns. His 7.47-yard average was the third-highest in school history behind Donzell Pitt and Scott Shill, both of whom averaged 7.9 yards per carry.
Yarbrough totaled a team-high 168 receiving yards and four touchdown catches. Johnson, Shreiner, Irby and senior wide receivers Dave Fero and Alex Richardson each caught for more than 100 yards.
On field goals, Hager finished 3 for 6; Harper was 2 for 2; and Vidaure was 1 for 4. Hager was 36 for 38 on extra points. Harper averaged 37 yards per punt.
Corona's 410 points tied the single-season school record set by the 1981 team. Its 35.6 points per game was the highest average in school history and its 54 touchdowns were the second most, three fewer than the mark set by the 1980 team, which captured the 4A state championship.

Nice Back Seat
Posted on May 29th 2007 under Uncategorized
This was parked outside of the ice cream shop tonight. Looks like a nice comfortable ride in that back seat. And it's been an absolutely perfect weekend weather-wise for this type of vehicle. This has definitely been the nicest Memorial Day weekend that we've had here in quite some time. And the forecast calls for more of the same. Don't mind one little bit. I might even bum a ride from this person.

Implant sells 10 QS-H150 devices to Romanian customer
Implant Sciences Corp. (PINK:IMSC) has sold another 10 units of its Quantum Sniffer
handheld explosive trace detector this time to a client in Romania, the
company said.
The units will be deployed in many applications to help ensure the security of this European nation, the company said in a statement.
Business Plus, a Romanian-based distributor, provides logistics, security, operational and safety gear. It marks the first sale of Implant's systems in that country.
"We are pleased to announce the success of our Romanian distributor, Business Plus, in securing this key order and we are proud that our technology will be utilized to fulfill the security needs," Implant's chief executive Glenn D. Bolduc said.
"Countries throughout the world are facing persistent and increasing threats from improvised explosive devices. The operational and cost advantages of our technology continue to drive purchasing decisions in our favour".
The QS-H150 handheld device can rapidly detect and identify trace amounts of a number of military, commercial and homemade explosives.
The company's other main product, the Quantum Sniffer QS-B220, is a trace detector that uses ion mobility spectrometry to identify a number of military, commercial and homemade explosives and narcotic substances. It was introduced in May, 2011.
The benchtop explosives and narcotics detector is suited for a number of security settings, including high-traffic airports, borders, and prisons.
Implant's systems are used by private companies as well as government agencies to screen baggage, cargo, vehicles and people for the detection of trace amounts of explosives and narcotics.

For the Orlando Twins, who finished the first half in last place in the Southern League's East Division, the 1985 season has been a tale of two halves.
The first half for the Twins had been one of despair, as they floundered in the basement the entire half. However, after suffering through the worst of times, the Twins continued the best of times in the second half, as they won a double-header Monday night from the Birmingham Barons at Tinker Field, 3-2 and 4-1, before a crowd of 1,382.

A recent signing with record label B-Unique, a new album in the making, a great live sound and these two unlikely lads make up some of the finest talent to come out of Bridlington.
Seafret are Jack Sedman, 19, on vocals, and Harry Draper, 16, on guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin and any other instrument he can lay his hands on!
The duo met back in August 2010 after being introduced at The Ship Inn pub in Sewerby, and coming up with the name which is a play on the 'fret' of a guitar and the sea we live so close by, the rest as so many before them say is history. Jack says of the meeting: "I was introduced to Harry and invited round to his house, I went round and it just kind of worked."
They form a wonderfully unique sound, a mixture of husky Paolo Nutini-esque vocals from Jack – that he only discovered he possessed around eighteen months ago – and Harry's magical guitar riffs that have audiences hypnotised. Harry is a rarity, after picking up the guitar out of boredom two years ago he taught himself to play, along with guidance from his musician dad Chris Draper.
Chris, of Moonshine Music Men, is clearly a huge influence on the boys as well as Jack's own dad Mike Sedman, formerly of International Rescue and now of the band Duck Baby. Jack says: "Most of the music comes from home. I saw my Dad play and thought I want to do that, and obviously with [Harry's] dad as well."
Apart from the family influences, a big inspiration for Jack and Harry is the late singer John Martyn, his music was blurred between folk, jazz, rock and blues. The boys say, "He had a similar sound to what we play with an acoustic guitar, and he defined strange chords with different melodies."
Fascinatingly the boys form their melodies first and then add the lyrics, Jack explains, "The music is born and then I'll bring the lyrics to the guitar and then we just work from there."
They are currently recording their first album under record label B-Unique, a publishing and recording contract sees them in a nine-month development period where they are gigging, writing and recording music and then will make the album at the end of the nine months, which is around seven months from now.
The boys admitted they find it easier in the studio recording music, and already have over 25 original tracks laid down but will have to narrow them to, at the most, ten tracks.
Jack says of the album-making process: "At the minute in the studio we're recording live basically, we're both in the same room with no division between us and two microphones set up and that's how we record the songs. We might not even use some of the songs we've got now but the ones we like we can re-record and use those for the album."
Jack and Harry are both in agreement that even if they hadn't been signed very early on in their short career, they would still be very heavily involved in music even if it meant busking and gigging wherever they could, Jack says: "I didn't mind whether it was just busking on the street or to make a living doing gigs if we got offered them. I only knew I could sing a few months before I met Harry and after that I just fell in love with it."
"We're lucky we're in the position now where we're getting paid to do what we want to do.
"I love the music we make."
If you're reading this and you don't live near Bridlington in East Yorkshire, UK (David Hockney-land) then please take the time to watch some of their videos, and let them know what you think of their music!
You can find the band on Facebook here or add them on Twitter @SeafretOfficial.

No doubt you are already familiar with Urban Decay's 24/7 eyeliners (and lipliners) — super soft, smooth pencils in a rainbow of colors. Well this spring opens a new chapter in 24/7-dom: Shadow Pencils.
These chubby pencils are $20 each, and they are every bit as soft as their eyeliner counterparts. They're also paraffin, mineral oil, and paraben-free.
I've found them to be waterproof and impressively crease-proof (though I did get a small amount of undereye flaking in 12 hours of wear). I believe this is the first shadow pencil ever to not-crease on me, and I've been using them without a base.
The pencils come in 12 shades (for now). Sin is a frosty beige-pink. Midnight Cowboy is shimmery peach-tan with silver sparkles. Narc is green with golden shimmer. Clinic is a blue-green shimmer with a few silver sparkles. Clash is bright! electric! aqua shimmer with a few silver sparkles. Morphine is a lavender duochrome that reflects more blue. Delinquent is a rich, royal purple shimmer with pink-purple sparkles. Lit is an orangey gold, or a very golden copper frost. Rehab is a nutty brown that reminds me of Underground 24/7 eyeliner. Wasteland is an olive-brown low-shimmer. Barracuda is (matte) black with silver sparkles. Mercury is a gunmetal metallic frost.
Though these are chubby pencils, it's actually pretty easy to use them as eyeliner (reshape your tip by covering with a tissue, gently pinching between two fingers, and twisting to "resharpen").
Urban Decay also encourages you to try layering and blending the shades — they even makes a brush specifically for the job: their 24/7 Shadow Pencil Blending Brush (it's small, dense, bullet-shaped, and synthetic/vegan). I found that brush to be a little too firm for blending, and so far, I haven't found the pencils as blendable as, say, powder shadows. Thus far, I've had the most success with a one-color wash on the lid, and a second color used as eyeliner.
The Shadow Pencils currently available for sale on Urban Decay's website, but they should be in stores (Sephora, Macy's) by the beginning of February.
Many thanks to Urban Decay, who provided these pencils for swatching purposes.

By Robbie Blakeley, Contributing Sports Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – FIFA, world football's governing body, is set to hold a two stage test process for goal-line technology, which if successful could see a new system in place as soon as next summer. FIFA president Sepp Blatter has also insinuated that the new system could be in place at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The first tests are set to be held between September and December of this year, with the best systems progressing to the second stage in March 2012.
FIFA is only willing to allow goal-line technology, a contentious issue for almost two decades, if it can be proved the system is completely reliable. Bidders to provide the systems will have to prove their technology is 90 percent accurate for the first stage of tests, but the second stage tests will demand a perfect success rate.
Blatter is keen to avoid a similar embarrassment to the one his organization felt at last year's World Cup. In the second round match between Germany and England, a Frank Lampard shot hit the crossbar and bounced over the goal-line but was not awarded. At the time, the 'goal' would have leveled the scores at 2-2, although England went on to lose 4-1.
The first stage of goal-line technology tests will be divided into three parts; first, shots from all over the pitch into an empty net. A 100 percent success rate is needed to pass.
The second, a 'dynamic tests', in which a ball-shooting machine will fire shots into the goal where a fixed wall will at first stop the ball crossing the line, and then be moved back inside the goal at different distances from the line. A 90 percent success rate is needed to pass. Finally, the 'static tests': a ball is placed on a sledge and moved at slow motion across the goal-line, sometimes with the ball rotating. A 90 percent success rate of this test is also needed to pass.
The second stage of technology tests will be more thoroughly scientific, with FIFA claiming they will be carried out in "different lighting conditions as per the FIFA requirements for the 2014 World Cup."
The FIFA statement said the second tests will include "more stimulated scenarios as well as other factors: software reliability; transmission signal quality; performance under changing weather conditions as well as on different pitch surfaces."
Timing will be crucial come testing time; the International Football Association Board (IFAB) have stated they want a system that can decide upon questionable matters almost instantly. An IFAB statement said: "The indication of whether a goal has been scored must be immediate and automatically confirmed within one second."
British company Hawk-Eye, whose technology has been used in cricket for ten years and in tennis since 2005, has confirmed it will be bidding. Paul Hawkins, the inventor of Hawk-Eye, believes his technology can make a decision within half a second. "Our system for football is easier than for cricket. Our name will be in the hat. Technology is not here to hurt anyone, it can only make things better," he said.
The English Football Association had wanted to introduce Hawk-Eye to its professional leagues in 2009, but Blatter prevented goal-line technology experiments in 2008. Only under intense pressure has he backed down and conceded it may be beneficial, and profitable, for FIFA.

Chapter 5 Summary
During the ten days between New York and the Azores, the passengers are settling themselves into the ship's routine. The only person who has trouble with the ship's schedule is Mr. Blucher, who finds that his $150, good quality watch does not tell time properly at sea. He becomes frustrated, constantly changing the hands of the watch to coincide with the ship's time, but can never seen to catch up. Poor Mr. Blucher is convinced that either the watch is seasick, or he was cheated when he bought it. Twain and his fellow shipmates send Mr. Blucher to one of the many ship's captains to explain how sea time works.
When the first of their destinations, the Azores islands, comes into sight, the passengers are excited. Land at last! Everyone is waken and brought to the deck at 3 a.m. to observe their first...

CALCUTTA (Reuters) - Indian doctors have removed a fetus weighing one kilogram (2.2 lbs) from a 6-month-old boy.
"We could not believe that we would have to remove a dead fetus weighing a kilogram from a child weighing 6.5 kilograms," Dr. Pradip Kumar Mukherjee, who led the team of Calcutta doctors that operated on the boy on Monday, told Reuters.
"It is a rare case."
Doctors use the medical term "fetus in fetu" to describe a phenomenon in which an imperfect fetus is contained within the body of its sibling.
In November 2000, doctors at another nursing home in Calcutta removed a fetus weighing 230 grams from a 40-day-old infant.

In our modern lives, living with so much technology, it is increasingly easier to feel some level of disconnect, feeling as though we are not as fulfilled as we feel we could be. Kabbalah recognizes that there is a spiritual world much larger that the one we are usually able to access as human beings. Some of that feeling of disconnect can be that we as humans are not tapped into that spiritual world of light that we could be. The universe holds many secrets that are sometimes hard for humans to decipher leading to confusion, pain and suffering. Kabbalah teaches it's students how to unlock those complexities, bringing understanding and clarity to their lives.
The teachings of Kabbalah are meant to share and impart these wisdoms with the hope that students will apply these teachings to better their lives. It is not a religion in itself, it does not promote blind faith, the teachings only provide students with the tools they can use to apply to their lives to deepen their understanding of the universe. The study of Kabbalah can be applied to each students life on a personal level and can be applied to any existing religion of life.
All races, genders and religions are accepted to the Kabbalah Center to study. Although Kabbalah used to be restricted to older Jewish men who had reached a certain age to be deemed wise enough to take the teachings of Kabbalah into their hands, the modern Kabbalah Center has opened this study to any race, religion or gender. Anyone can get started studying Kabbalah because there are teaching centers in most major cities throughout the USA and Europe. Kabbalah is open to anyone globally and if one of the global centers cannot be accessed there are many online courses that one can take like a modern online study course.

More and more restaurants have added happy hours in an effort to draw in customers in a down-down-down economy, but you wouldn't know it, in most cases. After the initial announcement, there's usually no effort to remind customers (or would-be customers) of the bargain prices, and sometimes even the help is unaware.
That's not the case at Sammy's Woodfired Pizza, which offers "Happiest Hours" from 4 to 6 p.m. daily, with half-off tapas, beers and wines. When I called to inquire, an employee recited the info straight away, and when we arrived during the "happiest" window, signs and tent cards provided the information as well.
So, if they're trumpeting it, you might think they're proud of it and want to use it as an opportunity to show their tapas in the best possible light, no? Yes, but that doesn't explain why two of the six tapas we ordered were cold — lukewarm in one case, but actually cold in the other. That would be the mac and cheese ($5.95 regular price). Made with Tillamook, a good-quality cheese, it had a lot of promise and even looked hot, with browned breadcrumbs on top. But no, it was cold.
And the pan-fried pork dumplings ($6.95 regular price) weren't so hot, either. First of all, they hadn't been fried very well, so there wasn't a characteristic brown side as we would expect from any self-respecting potsticker. Plus they were doughy, and the filling, flavored throughout with an appealing amount of cilantro, was cool. The sweet chili dipping sauce on the side was a nice complement, but no chili would be hot enough to warm these up.
We did fare much better with the other four dishes we shared. Coconut shrimp skewers ($9.95 regular price) were crisp and sweet and balanced quite nicely by the accompanying orange-horseradish sauce, which had just enough zing.
Parmesan-crusted artichokes ($7.95 regular price) were filled with goat cheese, which gave a good bit of character to their inherently mild flavor, and they had a good crispy coating. And they were hot!
Thai chicken satays and steak skewers ($7.95 regular price for each) were actually somewhat similar, both marinated (the latter in a teriyaki), both tender, moist and cooked just enough. The chicken scored a few more points, however, for the peanut-ginger sauce that accompanied it, a definite flavor advantage.
Service throughout was OK, our waitress losing a little interest when she realized we were doing happy-hour dishes, and tut-tut to her. The runners, however, succeeded in bringing our food promptly and clearing dishes the same way.
We went to the Sunset Road location, which has no gaming — if you care one way or the other about that sort of thing — and which is one of the few constants in a center that apparently was sited on an elephant burial mound, considering how many empty storefronts it's maintained over the years (and considering that the shopping center across the street seems to do just fine, I'm just sayin'). It's a very pleasant spot, with a patio overlooking the parking lot (but usually a mostly empty parking lot, which helps somehow) for when the weather is cooler than it's been lately, and an interior with lots of gleaming saltillo tile, including on the walls.
All of which makes it — and the other four Sammy's location in the valley, I'll assume — a prime spot for happy hour, with prices that ensure a good deal if you're getting ready for dinner, an even better one if you're having it.
But the details should not be overlooked.

Phoenix weather: Big rain possible this weekendPosted: Updated:
PHOENIX -- Many of the rain-deprived who call the desert home are hoping early indications of a wet weekend come to fruition.
Forecasting models show monsoon moisture is expected to increase across Arizona Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile, the National Hurricane Center is giving a cluster of thunderstorms south of Baja California a 90 percent chance of developing into a tropical system within the next two days before drifting north. These two ingredients are expected to bring copious amounts of rain throughout most of Arizona, including the Valley, through the first half of next week.
It's hard to pinpoint when the bulk of the rain will fall, but as of now, forecasting models indicate Sunday will be the wettest day as a trough sweeps through the area.
Temperatures are also expected to cool dramatically across the Valley. Afternoon highs should top out from the mid 90s to right around the century mark this weekend.
For now, we're looking at a low grade monsoon through Friday. Isolated storms are expected to develop first in the higher terrain and east of Phoenix Thursday afternoon. The Valley will keep a small chance of a stray shower or storm through the evening hours. Thursday's afternoon high in Phoenix is expected to hit 104 with an overnight low of 85.
Friday's storm pattern should see little change with a high in Phoenix of 106.

Date of Thesis Acceptance

S. Brooke Vick
Informing people who believe themselves to be low-prejudiced that they are implicitly biased against certain groups may cause them to experience cognitive dissonance, feelings of guilt that arise when perceived attitudes are inconsistent with the self-concept. To reduce this guilt, people often change their behaviors to be consistent with their self-concept. In the present study, we examined the effect of giving participants predetermined feedback following a weight-based Implicit Association Test (IAT). Participants were either given no feedback, low bias feedback, or high bias feedback. We then administered a value-affirmation task, where participants were either given a self-affirmation or other-affirmation task, to determine if motivation to change evaluation of overweight and thin job applicants comes from the self or from a desire for social acceptability. We hypothesized that if participants experienced cognitive dissonance after being told that they were biased against overweight people, they would be less likely to exhibit explicit bias against the overweight target in the job-hiring task. Furthermore, we hypothesized that selfaffirmation could limit behavior change. Our results indicate that while making people aware of implicit biases may help to reduce prejudiced behavior, perceptions of social expectations also affect explicit behaviors toward targeted groups.

Arts centre plans for Bournemouth's threatened Regent Theatre
Bournemouth Civic Society has revealed plans to regenerate the threatened former Odeon/ Regent Theatre in Westover Road as an arts centre for Bournemouth.
Working with leading international design architects Aedas and their specialist Arts Team, the Society has released the first visuals of the theatre revamped and rebranded with its original name, The Regent. Key features of the scheme include a new roof-top bar and a café-restaurant once again making use of the balcony with its views over the Lower Gardens and beyond.
The Society is currently aiming to raise £25,000 for a Viability Study for continuing arts/cultural use, which is supported by the Cinema Theatre Association, the Theatres Trust, SAVE Britain's Heritage and the C20 Society.
The building was recently sold and is now under threat from redevelopment.

Sidewalk Skiing
Who has time to change the car tires? Time is short in Saudi Arabia. There's oil to pump out of the ground, palaces to build and a kingdom to run. That's why Saudi men decided to multitask a bit on this exciting driving stunt dubbed "sidewalk skiing," which strangely involved no sidewalk and no skiing.
Tim Allman of BBC News has the story: Link [self-starting video]

LINDEN – State Sen. Nicholas P. Scutari and other members of Linden's Yellow Ribbon Committee gathered recently to finish decorating the plaza in front of City Hall in honor of American soldiers stationed abroad.
The committee affixed yellow ribbons to the tall evergreen and to the war memorial in front of City Hall. The Yellow Ribbon Committee was joined by members of Linden's City Council, the school system and the Navy Junior ROTC.
"It is vital that we remember and honor the sacrifices made by our brave men and women in uniform as they continue to defend our nation and our freedoms in these dangerous times," said Scutari (D-Linden.) "We gathered here for a unified purpose – to support our troops."
The Yellow Ribbon Campaign serves both to display the Linden community's deeply felt gratitude to those who have fallen in the service of their country and to remind residents that there are still American soldiers in harm's way. The Committee endeavors to send out a message, reminding people to support our troops.

For your consideration is a wonderful vintage Political Voting Campaign Cardboard Fan from 1930. The front displays a caricature design of a young lady from the 1930's holding a cute little toddler. The handle has a Art Deco design on it, also! The back displays a black & white picture of the candidate: Anton J Cermak. Some of the print on the back reads: I Am A Cermak Fan! Are you? Anton J Cermak, President And Member Cook County Board, Election Tuesday, November 4th, 1930. (The small print is different comments from Cermak followers.) Approx.: 8"Rd X 11 2/8"L (includes handle).
There is some light scratches & lightly scuffed edges from age & use. There is a hard to see very light crease across the toddler's arm. You have to look very closely in order to see it. All is very minor & only mentioned for accuracy! (Please check pictures closely!) Otherwise, in very good, vintage & collectible condition.

The Great Gamble
- The Soviet War in Afghanistan
- Narrated by: Robertson Dean
- Length: 10 hrs and 5 mins
- Unabridged Audiobook
- Release date: 28-01-09
- Language: English
- Publisher: Tantor Audio
- Whispersync for Voice-ready
In gripping detail, he vividly depicts the invasion of a volatile country that no power has ever successfully conquered. Parallels between the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq are impossible to ignore: Both conflicts were waged amid vague ideological rhetoric about freedom. Both were roundly condemned by the outside world for trying to impose their favored forms of government on countries with very different ways of life. And both seem destined to end on uncertain terms. The Great Gamble tells an unforgettable story full of drama, action, and political intrigue whose relevance in our own time is greater than ever.

I have to say I can't figure out what the previous reviewer is talking about. The total amount of time spent discussing America in this book doesn't total more than 15 minutes. There is one sentence in the introduction and a brief section in the epilogue. If such broad comparisons such as "America and Russia underestimated the power of tribal loyalty in Afghanistan" strikes you as dangerously liberal you need to avoid reading books in general, not just this one. Any other comparisons between the US and USSR have to be made by the listener. I wonder if possibly they mixed this book up with another book (which I haven't read but I've seen it around) called The Gamble, which is about the US war in Afghanistan. This seems more than likely to me.
I found this book to be informative. The time-line however was very difficult to follow, the scenes in the book tend to skip around. Other than that I found the narrative style to be clear and entertaining.
My only other complaint is that the narrator (who I have encountered before) reads everything in a kind of droning rumble. It takes a good hour to learn to decipher one of his words from another. I often found myself skipping back to re-listen to sections to figure out what he'd said.

Excellent book
I listened to this book while working out on my treadmill. It provided an interesting behind the scenes look at the before/during/after the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. The book also provides insight on the Kremlin and the CIA thinking during the occupation. I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy this subject matter.

Red Currant Jelly
Continuing with canning week today, I was trying to remember what prompted me to start canning, but I just couldn't come up with one particular thing…I think there are several contributing factors. I had never canned with my mom, but the stories she'd tell me of her red-stained hands from peeling an endless line of tomatoes for sauce and canning them with my grandma made me long for a simpler time (and some of that tomato sauce). During fall 2009, I read a few blog posts here and there of people making their own jams and jellies as gifts for Christmas, and I thought that was a wonderful idea. I had a big enough stock pot, so I decided that I'd attempt making a few jars, just to go along with our Christmas gifts that year. Even without any extra equipment, I found it very satisfying standing over pots of bubbling fruit, especially the apple-cinnamon jam, since it made the whole house smell like apple pie. Of course, there was also the joy of hearing the "ping" as each jar sealed, and the sense of accomplishment that I had just preserved my own food. And of course, the look on everyone's faces when I gave them homemade jam for Christmas!
I didn't realize it at the time, but I got the canning bug, and I got it bad. The next month, I bought a home canning kit and signed up for the Tigress Can Jam, a year-long canning group I participated in via my blog. With a new theme each month to get me learning how to preserve different things, it was kind of like canning boot camp…and everything I canned, I gave away as birthday and Christmas gifts, much to the gift receivers' delight. Now, here I am, just as addicted to putting up as ever. In addition to gifts, I'm beginning to look to canning as a way to preserve the summer and to help us eat locally year round. It's an exciting journey – one that I hope you'll join in on, too!
- 5 cups red currant juice
- 5 cups sugar
- 3 1/2 Tbsp pectin
Rinse the red currants and place them in a large pot. Add just enough water so that the currants are covered. Cook them over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they become soft. Pass them through a food mill, discarding the stems and seeds.
For each cup of juice, add a cup of sugar to the pot. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a rolling boil. If you're a little worried about the jelly setting like I was, add in the pectin. Let boil for five minutes.
Prepare your canning supplies. Sterilize the canning jars by running them in almost boiling water for several minutes. Boil a few cups of water in a small saucepan for the lids.
Turn off the heat and skim off any foam. Ladle the jelly into the hot jars, leaving 1/4″ headspace. Place the jars back into the canner and process (boil) for 10 minutes. Remove the canner lid and let them process 5 more minutes before removing the jars. The seals should suck down (you'll hear a popping noise as they do). Let sit 24 hours for the jelly to set. Makes 5-6 eight-ounce jars.

Glad to see your site is back up and running! And your canning recipes are as enticing as ever.
I've never had red currant jelly! Now I really want to try it!

I have been eating this on my toast for the last few days, so I can pretty much attest to how amazing it is!

This looks do delicious! I have been fearful of home canning but you make it look easy!
I remember when I started canning. A friend and I had gone to pick berries and I assumed I would freeze all of mine. She asked me to spend the day canning with her…and that was it. Over 30 years ago! I haven't done it so much lately since my girls are now both on their own but sorely tempted by posts like this. Your red currant jam is spectacularly beautiful!
Your story is very inspiring. It makes me want to can!

Wish I could get my hands on enough red currants (and time) to try this. I've never actually tried redcurrant jelly on toast, it was always for eating with roast lamb when I was growing up.
You sterilize jars by boiling them for ten minutes, adding one minute of boiling time for every 1000 feet after you get 1000 feet above sea level. Holding them in nearly boiling water is just for getting them hot enough to not suffer a temperature shock and crack when filling them with hot product. Since you are processing this jelly for ten minutes the jars do not need to be sterilized. You jars of jelly look so pretty. It is great that you are canning.

Can you believe I've never eaten red currant jelly? I KNOW – what am I missing??
You can also run your jars through the dishwasher (mine has a top-rack only setting) and leave them in the warm washer until you are ready to use them. Your jelly looks so pretty, and doesn't "red currant jelly" sound so decadent?! It reminds me of the book "Anne of Green Gables."

Now thats some pretty jam…been oogling recipes for currants, but I'm not sure if I will find any in my neck of the woods. Red currant jelly is definitely what people dream of when they think homemade jelly. Pretty and jewel toned and yummy.
I got the canning bug last summer with all my extra cucumbers and tomatoes pouring in from the garden. The only thing that holds me back is the heat required to process everything. It seems like the stove just heats up the house too much on a summer day. But come winter, when I open one of those cans of diced tomatoes or garlic dill pickles, I'm so happy I did it.
I would love to taste this jam! Never had red currant before 🙂
I love how bright the jelly is. Currants are so pretty.
The currants are such a beautiful color. I've only had dried currants. Would love to taste your currant jelly!
I have never had currants (that I'm aware of)… Can you believe that? I love the pretty red color of this jelly, though. Want to give it a try!!
I have never tried Red Currant jelly, but the color is so spectacular it may just compel me to pick up a jar.

An economic office will increase worker productivity and ensure you feel comfortable in your working environment.
This can be easily achieved through some small changes that will save you money as well improving the standard of your work.
Here are a few tips on how to make your office more economic.
Firstly consider the lighting in your office. Around 44 percent of energy usage in office buildings is artificial lighting. You can reduce this by nearly two thirds by simply switching to energy efficient light bulbs. Try to avoid glare from overhead lighting and lamps, a more environmentally friendly and comfortable option would be installing a skylight and taking advantage of natural lighting.
Since you spend most of your day sitting down at your computer it is also important to have a comfortable office chair. You should be able to reach your keyboard and mouse easily. A bad office chair can result in repetitive strain injury and carpel tunnel syndrome. Make sure that the height of the seat can be adjusted and that the chair offers lower back support.
Aesthetic touches such as tidying up loose wires and decorating the walls can encourage creativity and productivity. A cluttered workplace will be distracting and potentially dangerous, keeping a clean office will help to ensure employees feel comfortable and focused.
Lastly, reconsider your commute to work. Public transport and carpooling will result in less congestion and pollution. Carpooling can also add a more social aspect to your office as well as a less crowded car park.
These simple tips can help you to achieve a more comfortable office space and will hopefully result in a more economic and productive workforce.

Linsanity is sweeping the nation and everyone seems to have an opinion about Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin. They're comparing him to a lot of people.
Well, here's some people we should not compare him to:
1. Plaxico Burress -- Because when Lin shoots in New York it's legal.
2. Chris Rock -- Because when Lin plays the Garden he doesn't call anyone a "cracker-ass cracker."
3. Charles Oakely -- Because if Lin fights his punches just may be accurate.
4. Michael Jordan -- Because after six great basketball games you ARE NOT the greatest player in NBA history. You're 6 and 0 with no rings.
5. Yao Ming -- Both play pro basketball and are of Asian decent and your point is? Hitler and Arnold Schwarzenegger are both Austrian-born politicians. Obama and rapper TI both have similar complexions. OJ Simpson and I both have the same initials. What is wrong with stupid people?
6. Floyd Mayweather Jr. -- Because he thinks Linsanity is based on race. Which is the same as thinking playing hockey is based on having no teeth or thinking black people eat pork because Africa is shaped like a pork chop.
7. Lance Armstrong -- Because no matter how well Lin performs beating cancer is the bigger victory.
8. Ralph Lauren -- Because even though Lin is a superstar and hero in China they're still gonna bootleg his jersey.
9. Any foreign athlete -- I regret to inform the Klu Klux Klan and their various subsidiaries but Jeremy Lin is American. So suck it bigots!
10. Jackie Chan -- Because we DO understand the words coming from Lin's mouth.
11. Tim Tebow -- Because Lin has already completed more passes.
12. Latrell Sprewell -- Because Lin really DID graduate from college.
13. Mark Zuckerberg -- Because watching Lin is more fun than pretending to remember the girl who sat behind you in third grade from her Facebook profile photo.
14. Nicki Minaj -- Because Lin's English professor at Harvard would kill him for writing, "Now all the bums is wondering where I be's at -- if you ain't a Barbie it's none of your freaking beeswax!!!"
15. Mayor Bloomberg -- Because Lin CAN actually read the Mandarin billboards in Chinatown.
16. Charlie Sheen -- Because THIS is what winning really is. It's when you work hard, ignore the haters and the rejection, keep your eyes on the prize, stay prepared for the moment when opportunity knocks and surpass everyone's, maybe even your own, expectations. That's winning. That's Linsanity.
17. Paparazzi whores -- Because wouldn't it be great if Linsanity marked the end of the no talent media manufactured train wrecks of the last decade? You're right, I'm asking for to much. Let's just be thankful for the Linsanity we got.

LOS ANGELES — Hulu soared to popularity by offering free online viewing of popular TV shows. Now, that free ride soon may end.
The Internet video site is weighing plans to charge users to watch episodes of "30 Rock," "Modern Family" and "House." The move would mark a sharp change of course for the venture, which was launched nearly two years ago by a consortium of studios to distribute without charge TV shows and movies over the Internet.

Djarum Black Menthol Filtered Cigar 10/12View details
Djarum Black Menthol Filtered Cigar 10/12 are machine-made little cigars, proudly manufactured in Indonesia since 1951. Called 'kretek' by locals (referring to the crackling 'kretek kretek' sound they make when burning), their unique blend of tobacco and clove offers a satisfying, inimitable experience for the adventurous smoker. Djarum little cigars are offered in an array of blends and flavors, but one thing is for sure: you'll never forget your first.
A Great smoke
I used to smoke 44 cigarettes per day...costly, and yes, made me cough....THEN I DISCOVERED DJARUM CLOVE MENTHOL LITTLE CIGARS! There are 12 per pack...they are filtered, and have a cool black wrapper. They are a nice long lasting cigar, less expensive, because I smoke less...they don't "stink" like cigarettes...and I LOVE THE FLAVOUR! I AM SOLD! NO MORE CIGARETTES FOR ME! People in public, are fascinated with the pleasant aroma...both smokers and non-smokers alike. I have been smoking clove cigarillos now for more than a year, and even my doctor says that she can't tell that I smoke...when listening to my breathing. Hey, I am saving money, and enjoying a whole new way of smoking!
Was won over by the great service and fast shipping, now showing, "not available", what the heck???
If you used to smoke Djarum Black (clove) cigarettes, you know that ya can't get them here in the USA anymore...but these little cigars are even BETTER! Sure ya get fewer in a pack, but they last a long time, burn smooth and don't burn away, wasting valuable money and tobacco...AND they do NOT "pop", and burn your clothes! Here at this site...the price is right, even if you add Priority Mail Shipping! If you haven't tried them yet...I highly suggest that you do! The other flavors, I've heard are pretty darn good as well. Enjoy and save!

To grow dandelion greens, choose a sunny location, and mix compost into the prepared garden bed. Sow the seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep and 2 to 3 inches apart. Do not cover the seeds with soil. Keep the top 1 inch of soil evenly moist, but do not overwater the seeds. After the first set of leaves appear, thin the plants to every 10 to 12 inches. Harvest the leaves before they reach 10 inches in length.Continue Reading
Plant dandelions in the spring after the danger of frost has passed. To produce leaves with a milder flavor, grow the dandelions in a shady location, or choose cultivar that produces mildly-flavored leaves. Harvest the leaves before flowers appear to ensure the flavor is mild.
Dandelions are invasive. To contain the plants, remove the flowers before seeds appear. Further limit the plant's growth by watering only when necessary.
Harvest the leaves by cutting the leaf off near the crown. At the end of the growing season, dig the plants up to use the roots, or preserve the plants for the following year by covering them with a cold frame. When growing dandelions in a container, choose a container that is at least 12 inches deep to allow room for the taproot.Learn more about Outdoor Plants & Flowers

Me too! Not because of the lack of 'privacy', or them being able to capitalise on our personal information and buying preferences, but more because it's so *addictive*. In addition it 'captures' you. Once all your friends and family are using it you've really got no other choice than to use the program or miss a lot of what's happening in your world.
Still, I've at least made a start by resurrecting the blog. I had another one for years but it was more of a repository for 'opinion' than a more general one like this.
I wonder already how easy it will be to move between platforms when next to nothing I write will be seen by anyone except myself. Actually, I might not even tell many friends and family about it. This blog is more personal and I'm not sure I want them to read it anyway. Maybe I'll just post 'opinions' over there on FB and keep this for the personal stuff??

Receiver Buying Guide 2015
It is that time of year where we get to spend your money again! This week we concentrate on receivers. Our goal with these guides is not necessarily about getting the latest product. It's about getting a good product at a great price so you may see some of last year's gear on the list. All these receivers are readily available online or at a big box store. Just like last year's Buying Guide, we're going to skip the budget categories jump right to our top picks. We each pick three receivers and one 'money is no object' / 'dare to dream' receiver for you to consider.
Braden's Picks
Onkyo TX-NR545 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver ($440)
This 7.2-channel receiver can power a 5.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos speaker setup: 5.1 standard surround configuration plus two in-ceiling or height channels: 5.1.2. All HDMI inputs support the latest TV video displays, and with three of six inputs handling HDCP 2.2. Built-in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Airplay (including Pandora and Spotify) to stream virtually any audio from your smartphone, tablet, or PC to your home theater. And support for playback of Compressed, Lossless, and Hi-Res Audio via Local Network (MP3, WMA, WMA Lossless, FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, Apple Lossless, DSD 5.6 MHz, LPCM).
Denon AVR-X3200W 7.2-Channel Full 4K Ultra HD A/V Receiver with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi ($999)
Because we all know Denon makes the best receivers…this bad boy is a 7.2 channel A/V receiver that packs 105W of power per channel. It has 3D and 4K Ultra HD/60Hz full rate pass-through with 4:4:4 color resolution, HDR, BT.2020. 8 HDMI 2.0a inputs (incl. 1 front) and 2 HDMI outputs with full HCDP 2.2 support. Of course, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. And let's not forget Dolby Atmos (up to 5.1.2), DTS:X ready (via firmware update). Instant content Airplay, Spotify Connect, Pandora, SiriusXM Internet Radio Internet Radio, DLNA, DSD,FLAC, ALAC and AIFF High Resolution streaming. And the new IP control capability with the HEOS Link turns any stereo system into a wireless zone (HEOS LINK sold separately).
Denon AVRX6200W 9.2 Channel Full 4K Ultra HD A/V Receiver with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi ($2199)
Two Denons? Is that allowed? The X3200 is the reasonable choice. the X6200 is the less reasonable, but "wow" choice. The amplifier has 9 discrete output stages with identical circuit topology and high current transistors. Each channel is rated at 140 watts. Of course the AVR-X6200W features the next-generation sound formats Dolby Atmos, dts UHD and Auro 3D (upgradable) which allows you to add Height/Top speakers to dramatically expand the soundstage. Featuring a total of 8 HDMI inputs, the AVR-X6200W also has 3 HDMI outputs for flexible multi-room options, with full HDCP 2.2 support. This receiver is also equipped with advanced video circuitry capable of upscaling video signals to 1080p and up to 4K/60Hz full-rate video passthru with support for 4:4:4 color resolution, HDR, and BT.2020.
Ara's Picks
Yamaha RX-A850 7.2-Channel MusicCast AV Receiver with Built-In Wi-Fi and Bluetooth $899.99
This year I am only selecting receivers that are HDCP 2.2 compliant and support 3D sound. As a result my lowest cost receiver comes in at a penny under $900 but it supports a 5.2.2 Atmos setup and you can send it any 4K Ultra HD source with HDCP 2.2 and HDR. The 850 has support for Hi Res Audio as well as Pandora, Rhapsody, SiriusXM, and Internet Radio. There is also support for Yamaha's proprietary wireless multiroom audio system called MusicCast.
Pioneer SC-91 7.2 Channel Networked Class D3 AV Receiver with Built-in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi & Dolby Atmos $999
I have never been disappointed with the audio quality of a Pioneer Elite receiver and based on my recent experience with its little brother, the VSX-90, I can fully recommend this receiver to anyone who wants to take a step up in this department. This unit is 130 watts per channel which will fill even large rooms with sound. It supports 4K pass through and of course Dolby Atmos. The SC-91 has MCACC Pro calibration, Subwoofer EQ, built-in AV Navigator, plus an easy initial setup app.
Marantz SR6010 7.2 Channel Full 4K Ultra HD AV Sourround Receiver with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi $1399
I have one and so should you. While this unit only has 7 amps (110 Watts each) it does have 13 preouts which with an external amp will provide you with the most immersive audio experience! The 6010 supports both Dolby Atmos and dts UHD. Of course it supports 4K Pass through and is HDCP 2.2 compliant. It streams all kinds of services but we all have a set top box that can do that don't we!
Ultimate Present
Integra DTR-70.6 11.2-Channel AV Receiver $2,800
I have never been able to get my hands on an Integra receiver but if I can dream this is what I would want. It checks every box and then some. Its THX Select 2 Plus certified and can be calibrated so that the video processing in this receiver actually does something to improve the picture on your TV. Components are heavily screened to assure optimal sound. If you are big into automation the 70.6 supports AMX, Control 4, Crestron and Compass Control. This truly is an ultimate Christmas present for the A/V lover in your life! And that just may be yourself!!

Windows 7, IE9, Service Pack 1 and Naturally Speaking
I've looked through as many threads as I can think of and have found nothing to help. I'm posting this on the general forum as I think the problems I'm having might be linked.
IE 8 has for months now slowed to a crawl on my desktop. It used to be fine but is effectively unusable now. I tried all the suggestions (reset, close add-ons etc.) but it remains almost impossibly slow.
I installed the beta and later the full version of IE9 on my laptop with no problem. However it will not install on the desktop. I've tried at least a dozen times with no success. The installation fails with no good reason why. It says it failed and gives you a link to follow. I've done everything in the link, tried installing from Windows update and manually, tried the alternative download site, etc. Nothing works.
The Service pack 1 fails to install. At least this is consistent and fails to install on both Desktop and Laptop. Once again, no reason is given, just that it failed. In more years than I care to admit to I've never had an update fail or give me any problem.
I've Googled until blue in the face, have, been through all the microsoft sites, followed all the instructions - nothing.
Whether this is connected or not I'm not sure. I mention it in case something triggers an inspired thought from the knowledgeable denizens of this forum. I've installed Naturally Speaking 11. This works perfectly on the laptop but, though it installed on the desktop, every time I try to access my profile (I've reinstalled Dragon and made new profiles three times) I get a message saying I can't access it as I either do not have sufficient rights or because it's in use by another windows program. As I'm the only user, there is only one account on the PC - administrator - and I can't possibly think of what other program could access the profile I'm stumped. So are Nuance with whom I've exchanged some dozen emails.
Has anyone any idea what might be causing any of these problems please? I have honestly chased and followed every suggestion I can find on other sites to no avail. I have a sneaking suspicion they are connected but am not technical so it's only a gut feeling.
In case it's relevant I ran the system file checker and it came up clear.
Any help or suggestions would be most welcome please. I must warn that I verge on the dim when it comes to the technicalities of computers so please can I request words of one syllable in any suggestions. Many thanks in hopeful anticipation.
Desperate John.

Hi, Sorry for not responding but I only got notified of your posts yesterday! I had in fact moved this to a different forum and thought it had been deleted from here. The problems were linked. I managed to get in touch with the appropriate Microsoft help desk and, after some weeks of trying different things, none successful, I was advised to replace windows 7 using the 'upgrade' facility so that my programs and data wouldn't be lost.
It took an entire day to do this and install all the updates but, following it, all the updates installed, I was able to install IE9, and I could get Naturally speaking to work. I have explained this in detail somewhere else but I'm afraid I can't track down which forum/thread it was in.
However, many thanks for the response and, once again, apologies for the lack of a response before now.
