GHC/As a library (up to 6.8)
From HaskellWiki
Using GHC as a library
In GHC 6.5 and subsequently you can import GHC as a Haskell library, which lets you write a Haskell program that has access to all of GHC.
This page is a place for everyone to add
- Notes about how to get it working
- Comments about the API
- Suggestions for improvement
and so on.
More documentation is available on the GHC wiki: http://cvs.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Compiler/API
1 Getting started
You'll need a version of GHC (at least 6.5) that supports the GHC API. The GHC download page offers stable releases and development versions; you can also use CVS (instructions) or darcs (e.g., darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc).
To use the GHC API you say
import GHC
Doing this imports the module GHC from the package ghc. This module exports the "GHC API", which is still in a state of flux. Currently it's not even Haddock-documented. You can see the source code (somewhat documented). There are also other modules of interest as you do more special things.
Here's an example main program that does it Media:Main.hs (good for GHC 6.6). You need to manually change the value of myGhcRoot to point to your GHC directory.
To compile Media:Main.hs, you have to turn on the flag "-package ghc", e.g.
ghc -package ghc Main.hs
2 Common use cases and functions
Assumes GHC 6.6.
2.1 Default exception handling
If you don't handle exceptions yourself, you are recommended to wrap all code inside the wrapper:
defaultErrorHandler :: DynFlags -> IO a -> IO a DynFlags.defaultDynFlags :: DynFlags
This catches exceptions and prints out exception details and exits your program with exit code 1.
import GHC import DynFlags(defaultDynFlags) main = defaultErrorHandler defaultDynFlags $ do {- stuff in the following subsections -}
2.2 Initialization
First create a session:
newSession :: GhcMode -- BatchCompile | Interactive | MkDepend | ... -> Maybe FilePath -- GHC installation directory -> IO Session -- your session; you will need it
The path to your GHC installation directory (e.g., /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6) is in practice mandatory, even though in theory marked as optional. Also, in 6.8, the type signature of newSession changed to remove the GhcMode (but retaining the still not actually optional Maybe FilePath:
newSession :: Maybe FilePath -> IO Session
The session is configurable by dynamic flags (GHC dynamic flags plus session state; think -O2, -fvia-C, -fglasgow-exts, -package). This can be done with:
getSessionDynFlags :: Session -> IO DynFlags setSessionDynFlags :: Session -> DynFlags -> IO [PackageId] -- important iff dynamic-linking parseDynamicFlags :: DynFlags -- old flags -> [String] -- e.g., all or part of getArgs -> IO (DynFlags, [String]) -- new flags, unknown args
data DynFlags = DynFlags { ..., hscTarget :: HscTarget } -- HscC | HscAsm | HscInterpreted | ...
- vanilla compiler, use all defaults (rare but good start)
session <- newSession BatchCompile (Just "/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6") getSessionDynFlags session >>= setSessionDynFlags session
- compiler with custom flags, easy with parser
session <- newSession BatchCompile (Just "/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6") f0 <- getSessionDynFlags session (f1,b) <- parseDynamicFlags f0 ["-fglasgow-exts", "-O", "-package", "ghc", "-package Cabal", "foo", "-v", "bar"] -- b = ["foo", "bar"]; the other args are recognized -- in GHC 6.6 "-O" implies "-fvia-C", that kind of thing is automatic here too setSessionDynFlags session f1
- interactive session with interpreter
session <- newSession Interactive (Just "/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6") f0 <- getSessionDynFlags session setSessionDynFlags session f0{hscTarget = HscInterpreted}
- no linking
The GHC API behaves just like --make: it always links the program if you have a Main module. There are some cases where you will want to turn the linker off; this has the same affect as --make -c. In order to do this, set the ghcLink flag to NoLink:
session <- newSession BatchCompile (Just "/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6") f0 <- getSessionDynFlags session (f1,b) <- parseDynamicFlags f0 ["-fglasgow-exts", "-O", "-package", "ghc", "-package Cabal", "foo", "-v", "bar"] -- b = ["foo", "bar"]; the other args are recognized -- in GHC 6.6 "-O" implies "-fvia-C", that kind of thing is automatic here too setSessionDynFlags session $ f1 {ghcLink=NoLink}
2.3 Load or compile modulesTo compile code or load modules, first set one or more targets, then call the
guessTarget :: String -- "filename.hs" or "filename.lhs" or "MyModule" -> Maybe Phase -- if not Nothing, specifies starting phase -> IO Target addTarget :: Session -> Target -> IO () setTargets :: Session -> [Target] -> IO () getTargets :: Session -> IO [Target] removeTarget :: Session -> TargetId -> IO () load :: Session -> LoadHowMuch -> IO SuccessFlag data LoadHowMuch = LoadAllTargets | LoadUpTo ModuleName | LoadDependenciesOf ModuleName
defaultCleanupHandler :: DynFlags -> IO a -> IO a
t <- guessTarget "Main.hs" Nothing addTarget session t -- setTargets session [t] is also good f <- getSessionDynFlags session sf <- defaultCleanupHandler f (load session LoadAllTargets) case sf of Succeeded -> ... Failed -> ...
Dependencies (both modules and packages) are processed automatically, and an executable is produced if appropriate, precisely like --make.Modules are compiled as per the
2.4 Compiling to and from Core
Note: the following will only work as advertised in the HEAD (GHC 6.9).
To compile a file to Core (the intermediate language used in GHC's simplifier), call compileToCoreModule:
compileToCoreModule :: Session -> FilePath -> IO (Maybe CoreModule)
compileToCoreModule takes a session and a filename and, if successful, returns a CoreModule corresponding to the Haskell module denoted by the filename. It is not necessary to set a target first.
The CoreModule data type is specified in the HscTypes module in GHC. The most important field is probably cm_binds, a list of Core bindings for all top-level declarations from the original Haskell source file.
data CoreModule = CoreModule { -- Module name cm_module :: !Module, -- Type environment for types declared in this module cm_types :: !TypeEnv, -- Declarations cm_binds :: [CoreBind] -- Imports cm_imports :: ![Module] }
The type TypeEnv is defined in HscTypes.lhs.
For documentation of the Core data types, see the CoreSyn module in GHC.
For some applications, you may want to compile the Haskell source for various standard libraries into Core. Given the current API, this is probably only possible in the presence of a GHC tree that was built from source, including libraries. (Otherwise, there may be problems finding the right import files.) If you have experience suggesting otherwise, you may wish to report back.
You can also compile Core code to object code:
compileCoreToObj :: Bool -> Session -> CoreModule -> IO Bool
compileCoreToObj takes a boolean flag that says whether or not to run the simplifier, a session, and a CoreModule, and returns True iff compilation to machine code succeeded. As a side effect, it creates the executable file, as well as any necessary .hi or .o files, in the current working directory. This has only been tested with a single self-contained Core module (i.e., one that only depends on standard library functions rather than on functions in other user-defined modules).
These functions are a work-in-progress, so if you notice anything that is not what you expect, please complain on the cvs-ghc mailing list or file a bug report.
2.5 Interactive evaluationInteractive evaluation ala GHCi is done by
setContext :: Session -> [Module] -- their top levels will be visible -> [Module] -- their exports will be visible -> IO () getContext :: Session -> IO ([Module], [Module]) findModule :: Session -> ModuleName -> Maybe PackageId -> IO Module mkModule :: PackageId -> ModuleName -> Module mkModuleName :: String -> ModuleName PackageConfig.stringToPackageId :: String -> PackageId
-- equivalent to GHCi's :m Prelude Control.Monad *Main prelude <- findModule session (mkModuleName "Prelude") Nothing monad <- findModule session (mkModuleName "Control.Monad") Nothing usermod <- findModule session (mkModuleName "Main") Nothing -- we have loaded this setContext session [usermod] [prelude,monad]
Having set a useful context, we're now ready to evaluate.
runStmt :: Session -> String -> IO RunResult data RunResult = RunOk [Name] -- names bound by the expression | RunFailed | RunException GHC.IOBase.Exception -- that's Control.Exception.Exception
runStmt session "let n = 2 + 2" -- n is bound runStmt session "n" -- 4 is printed (note "it" is bound)
(Interactive evaluation works in BatchCompile mode too! There are still other subtle differences, so this is not recommended.)
2.6 Type checking
What if I want the type info from a module?
Once the modules are loaded in the session, they are already type-checked. The type information of a loaded module are stored in a data-structure called
data ModuleInfo = ModuleInfo { minf_type_env :: TypeEnv, minf_exports :: NameSet, -- ToDo, [AvailInfo] like ModDetails? minf_rdr_env :: Maybe GlobalRdrEnv, -- Nothing for a compiled/package mod minf_instances :: [Instance] #ifdef GHCI ,minf_modBreaks :: ModBreaks #endif -- ToDo: this should really contain the ModIface too }
type TypeEnv = [TyThing]
where TyThing can be an identifier, a class, a type constructor or a data constructor.
data TyThing = AnId Id | ADataCon DataCon | ATyCon TyCon | AClass Class
We retrieve the module information of "Main" module and unfold the type environment out of it.
mb_userModInfo <- getModuleInfo session usermod case mb_userModInfo of Just userModInfo -> let userTyThings = modInfoTyThings userModInfo -- access the type environments userTys = [ (i, idType i) | (AnId i) <- userTyThings ] -- we are only interested in the declared ids and their (inferred) types. in ... -- do something with userTys Nothing -> return ()
2.7 Queries
-- Get module dependency graph getModuleGraph :: Session -> IO ModuleGraph -- ModuleGraph = [ModSummary] -- Get bindings getBindings :: Session -> IO [TyThing]
2.8 MessagesCompiler messages (including progress, warnings, errors) are controlled by verbosity and routed through a callback mechanism. These are fields in
data DynFlags = DynFlags { ..., verbosity :: Int, log_action :: Severity -> SrcLoc.SrcSpan -> Outputable.PprStyle -> ErrUtils.Message -> IO () }
You can set the callback to your logger, like
f <- getSessionDynFlags session setSessionDynFlags session f{log_action = my_log_action}
This sets the session's logger, but it will not see exceptions.If you call
main = defaultErrorHandler defaultDynFlags{log_action = my_log_action} $ do ...
3 Interactive mode example
The file Media:Interactive-6.6.hs or Media:Interactive-6.8.hs (requires Media:MyPrelude.hs) serve as an example for using GHC as a library in interactive mode. It also shows how to replace some of the standard prelude functions with modified versions. See the comments in the code for further information.
4 Using the GHC library from inside GHCi
This works, to some extent. However, beware about loading object code, because there is only a single linker symbol table in the runtime, so GHCi will be sharing the symbol table with the new GHC session.
$ ghci -package ghc Prelude> :m + GHC PackageConfig Prelude GHC> session <- newSession Interactive (Just "/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6") Prelude GHC> setSessionDynFlags session =<< getSessionDynFlags session Prelude GHC> setContext session [] [mkModule (stringToPackageId "base") (mkModuleName "Prelude")] Prelude GHC> runStmt session "let add1 x = x + 1" Prelude GHC> runStmt session "add1 2" 3
5 Profiling
To build the profiling version of GHC-as-a-library, add:
to your build.mk file, and rebuild GHC.
Note: This seems to be broken as of GHC 6.8.3.
6 Binary size
Using the GHC API in your applications results in large executables (e.g. > 15Mb). You can mitigate this by an enormous amount using the tools strip and gzexe; this may reduce the executable to 15-30% of its previous size. (Example:
"I will take this time to point out that using the GHC API in your applications results in *large* executables. The Interact example above when compiled with vanilla --make options resulted in a whopping 17mb executable. I've observed however you can mitigate this by an enormous amount using the tools strip and gzexe [see also upx. -ed], taking it down to a light 2.5mb (a size reduction of about 85%)."[1]
(Using 6.8.1 for me results in a 16M binary using the example interactive session from this page, even when thoroughly stripped. Using UPX on its most intensive settings brought it down to 2.9M. --Gwern)

CCIA Argues Germany Should Be On The 'Naughty' Special 301 List For Attacking Fair Use
from the special-301-judo dept
So while we figured it wasn't worth filing anything, our friends over at CCIA, who have backed some of the research that we've done, put in their own comment, which called out Germany for its attack on fair use. As you may recall, Germany has been pushing forward with this plan to force search engines to pay up for posting snippets and links to news sites. This is a pretty clear attack on basic fair use concepts that allow the internet to function. If you believe, as we do, that fair use is a right, then Germany's actions are, technically, a "denial of adequate and effective protection for intellectual property rights," and thus the country belongs on the Special 301 list. As CCIA writes:
These comments address a troubling new legislative proposal in Germany that would violate long-established rights of Internet services to make use of information online. The legislation would create a new Leistungsschutzrecht for press publishers, such as newspapers and magazines. Contrary to Article 10(1) of the Berne Convention, this proposed legislation would prohibit Internet platforms from displaying snippets of news stories without obtaining the publisher's permission and paying a license fee for these quotations. While it is as of yet unclear, we expect that the new right will be administered by a collecting society, with newspapers that wish to exercise the new right being required to join. If this comes to pass, no search engine or affected social media platform will be able to directly negotiate with any publisher; they would instead be forced to enter into a blanket, compulsory license, or be penalized as an infringer of IP rights. Thus, the proposed legislation is simply a government mandated compulsory license, transferring money from one industry to another. As such, it would constitute a costly new market access barrier. Some commentators have even speculated that the legislation might force news search services and affected social media out of the German market, by not returning results for German IP addresses. At the same time, this proposal would have obvious debilitating effects on German-based Internet platforms.There's a lot to be said for this argument, and for recognizing that user rights are an important part of copyright, not just the rights of the copyright holders. In fact, it's quite reasonable to argue that the public's rights should greatly outweigh the privileges granted under copyright. And, now, we will see if the USTR actually pays attention to such things, or if they will ignore it and only focus on maximalist privileges, rather than the public's rights. At the very least, this provides an excellent suggestion for filings in the future: there are lots of countries that don't have nearly enough respect for fair use or for other rights of the public when it comes to copyright.

How To Make A Burlap Peg Bag
Maya Donenfeld of Maya*Made should be no stranger to Apartment Therapy readers as we've chatted with her and written about many of her projects here over the years. Today, we're helping celebrate the release of her book, Reinvention: Sewing with Rescued Materials, with a tutorial from Maya that's not in the book (bonus for you!), but very much in the spirit of the book.
Reinvention (Wiley, 2012), the book, is a natural offshoot of what Maya has been creating and writing about on Maya*Made for years. The book includes 28 projects ingeniously organized by material (linen, burlap, jersey, wool, denim, mailers and vintage) so instead of asking yourself what kind of project you want to make, you might begin with, what material do I have on hand?
Maya considers herself a "reinventor" as she puts these rescued, found and recycled materials to use in new, creative projects and makes the materials her own with printing, stamping, applique and other customizations. Some of my favorite projects from the book include wool poofs, a burlap log carrier, burlap onion and garlic sacks and a banner made from a recycled Tyvek mailer!
Today, Maya is sharing with all of you, a tutorial for making a peg bag out of burlap - a perfect weekend project for you! Here's Maya:
How To Make A Burlap Peg Bag
Sunshine and warmer breezes are an invitation to return to the clothesline out back. Whether you're an urban dweller, or live in the country...hanging your clothes out to dry saves energy and money. I also think it looks cheerful - like a billowing banner of everyday life. Here's a simple and very quick way to transform a rescued coffee sack into a handy clothespin holder or "burlap peg bag"... an essential tool for laundry day.
• a coffee sack or at least a 12"x24" rectangle of one
•an 8" section of the braided binding from a sack (or any sturdy webbing)
• scissors
• pen
• ruler
•sewing machine with a universal needle
1. Fold burlap rectangle in half lengthwise. Sew up each side with a seam 1/2" from the edge. Sew a parallel seam directly next to each side seam to keep the fraying to a minimum.
2. Box the corners. Fold the bag in half with the open side at the bottom. The corners will be at the top in a point. See photo 3. It will look like the shape of a house.
3. Use a pen and ruler to measure and create a line 2" across the top of each corner. Stitch along this line.
4. Fold over the raw edged opening 3/4". Press with an iron. Repeat with another 3/4" fold and another press of the iron.
5. Cut an 8" section of braided binding from the side of a sack (every sack has one) or use sturdy piece of webbing. Tuck both open ends of binding under the folded hem (at the center of the back) to create a loop. Hold it in place to stitch down with the upcoming seams.
6. Sew 1/4" from the edge of the folded side all around the opening. The burlap will be thick and the loop will be bulky, but slow stitching will ensure success with most home sewing machines.
7. Create another seam 1/2" from the folded edge. These double seams create a sturdy hem with structure. The bag will stay open and ready for reaching in.
8. Hang it directly on you clothesline for laundry day!
• Used coffee sacks are available for rescuing at most local roasteries.
• Choose burlap with a tight weave for easy manipulation.
• Use a universal needle and sew slowly or hand turn the machine wheel as you stitch over bulky parts.
• Always backstitch at the beginning and ending of each seam to lock stitches.
• Cutting burlap can get messy. Take it to a picnic table outside if you have that option.

Between the Fronts
If one were to analyse the reporting on the recent wave of searches conducted of the offices of nongovernmental organisations in Egypt, a pattern could be discerned centering on the repression of the work of human rights organisations and think tanks that take issue with the violence exercised by the Military Council.
This aspect is no doubt a central one, and the suppression of critical information on the Army one of the goals the Military Council is pursuing with the searches. Nevertheless, a close examination of the events also turns up a further point: the attempt by the military to restore its credibility, which has increasingly come under fire in past weeks.
Conducting the parliamentary elections without centrally steered manipulation or force already aimed in this direction, and would have made it much easier to install a presidential candidate backed by the military, the Military Council thus demonstrating its support for more democracy in the country.
The innumerable images on state television of soldiers accompanying old and feeble voters to the polls corroborated this assumption. Things obviously turned out differently, though, and the true face of the military was revealed in the violent clashes in December.
Under time pressure
We can only speculate for now as to what prompted the change in tactics, the inner dynamics of the Ministry of the Interior and the Army being all but impenetrable. One logical explanation might be as follows:
After the Military Council was forced by the protests in November, about one week before the beginning of the general elections on 28 November, to move up the date for the presidential elections, which had originally been planned for late June 2012, there was simply no longer any realistic chance of building up support quickly enough for its own candidate or one who would be easy to control.
About the only thing the military could still do, was to exercise violent repression. Unleashing sweeping violence in order to disrupt the elections was not an option, however, as otherwise the Muslim Brotherhood, striving for power, would have mobilised their members against the Military Council.
It was easier by contrast to suppress the revolutionary activists of 25 January, who for their part were pushing for an even faster change in government, namely the immediate handing over of all executive power to a civil transition government: those who died during the sit-in in front of the parliament and cabinet building in December were by no means sufficient to fill Tahrir Square. The majority of the population felt that the best road to greater democracy was to first let the elections go down in a halfway orderly fashion.
Campaigns against military brutality
The coming weeks will show whether the military's massive show of strength turns out to be a miscalculation. Numerous campaigns have now been launched in the country informing citizens about military brutality.
As early as last December, a few newspapers and private media were already criticizing its aggressive conduct. If the general elections hadn't taken place when they did, there probably would have been renewed large-scale demonstrations against military rule.
Ever since the elections, however, the Military Council is under considerable pressure from one new player on the political stage: Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood.
Many politicians have expressed scepticism at the simplistic explanation by the Military Council that local groups with foreign financing are responsible for the violence, and they are insisting that these groups should then be named. The stories told by several members of the council remain as vague as ever, with no proof having yet been furnished of the alleged foreign influence.
NGOs as scapegoats
The recent searches of NGO offices are now working to restore the military's credibility in the public eye, because the state-run newspapers have presented the NGOs searched, such as the German Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the US National Democratic Institute, as illegally acting organisations. This lends credence to the Military Council's assertions that there are "visible" foreign elements intervening on Egyptian soil.
At least for less-educated Egyptians, this could have the effect of restoring faith in the military despite its recent show of force. Also doing their part to sow deep mistrust amongst the populace in Western motives are the state propaganda machine and the all-pervasive nationalism.
Playing right into the hands of the military's strategy, the opposition newspaper Al-Wafd recently published an article claiming that many opposition politicians and activists had been financed from abroad – charges based on a US embassy document published on Wikileaks. In the original, however, no mention is made of financing. It was ultimately a case of targeted manipulation.

A former middle school math teacher accused of having sex with four students was released on bail after she turned herself in to police.
LaShawn Simmons was charged this week with sexual assault of a child, two counts of improper relationship between an educator and a student, online solicitation of a minor and possession of child pornography, court records show.
Simmons resigned last month from Beverly Hills Intermediate School in the Pasadena Independent School District in lieu of termination after she was accused of having sex with four high school students, two juveniles and two adults last year.
Simmons, who worked for the middle school for 14 years, was placed on administrative leave after the complaint was made in December. Investigators found nude pictures of the students and several sexually explicit conversations with the teens on her cell phone.
After identifying the students, the teens admitted to investigators in separate interviews that they had sex with Simmons, who had been their teacher, at her apartment after school. One student admitted to trading nude pictures with her via text message. Investigators tracked the material from March to September 2012.

The Jakarta Post, the biggest English-language newspaper of Indonesia, devoted a place to an article from Reuters that Mr. Adnan Oktar held conferences refuting evolution in France, on the 18th of May, 2011. In the article, the panic caused in France by the Atlas of Creation, which helped accelerate the collapse of the theory of evolution, was frequently emphasized:
Four years after they first frightened France, Muslim creationists are back touring the country preaching against evolution and claiming the Koran predicted many modern scientific discoveries… Followers of Harun Yahya, a Turkish publisher of popular Islamic books, held four conferences at Muslim centers in the Paris area at the weekend with more scheduled in six other cities.
Harun Yahya, one of the most prolific publishers in the Muslim world, gave secularist France a scare in January, 2007 by sending thousands of free copies of his Atlas of Creation to schools and libraries across the country.
He told Reuters in 2008 that he was preparing the return of Jesus Christ, who he said would come back to Earth in about 25 years as a Muslim to help the Mahdi – Islams savior figure – to defeat evil and establish Islam around the world.

Salyards is a skilled sales professional who enjoys detecting his customers' needs and investigating solutions. This passion has served his 20-year sales career well. His works has led him to Boston, New York City, and finally to Singapore, where he is vice president of sales in the Asia Pacific region for BMC Software, a seller of business automation and compliance software.
"We're a US-based company doing business internationally," said Saylards. "We have to take into consideration the customs of other cultures, learn how they want to do business, and find out their expectations."
For example, in Singapore, a culture more focused on relationships than the US, Salyards learned that sales happened gradually over time and might not be in line with quarterly results. They don't do anything short term, he notes, and trying to sell too much and too quickly hasn't been effective. Other countries in the Asia-Pacific region have unique characteristics. In China, customers may engage in drinking games, while in India, alcohol and meat are not usually consumed. In contrast, "Australia is so much like America from a business perpective: it's very easy to do business there, "Salyards said.
Salyards' Executive MBA education prepared him for his international role. "It opened my eyes to the importance of all the functional departments and has reimbursed me 10 times over. I chose Suffolk because I like the blue-collar working atmosphere of the very real people there from public policy to finance. The school was strong technically, and the professors remain important to me today," he said.
Professor Richard Torrisi, who led a Global Travel Seminar to Aix-en-Provence, France, and Professor Thomas O'Hara were both influential in Salyard's career. "Having Professor O'Hara talk about central banks and the euro helped me with currency concerns in my job today when we actually peg the currency rates for a full year."
For others starting out in a new country, Salyards offers a tip that helped him when he arrived in Singapore: "Write down everything you think you know and think you're going to observe. Then put it in an envelope, seal the envelope, and open it six months later. For six months, just listen and ask a lot of questions. After that, open the envelope and see how different your perceptions were from reality. Seventy percent of my assumptions were wrong."

Now I'm not sure how well a mixed martial artist would do against a zombie attack, considering MMA fighters don't train to defend against biting. But there is one MMA fighter who may survive by, of all things, joining the zombie horde: Chan Sung "The Korean Zombie" Jung.
This featherweight powerhouse gets his name from his uncanny ability to move forward in a fight, even after taking a ton of damage. Pretty appropriate name if you ask me! Just watch his past fights—especially his fight of the decade performance against Leonard Garcia—to get an idea of his zombie-like behavior.
And we here at Zombie Slash definitely approve of Jung's official Korean Zombie t-shirt.

HIGHLANDLAKE -- She built Highlandlake Congregational Church in 1896 without a bank note and happily eloped two years later with the church secretary, 10 days before her unexpected death at 33 from pneumonia.
These facts about the Rev. Mary Bumstead Coates give her colorful historic stature in Highlandlake, the old 2-square-mile district west of what is now downtown Mead.
Pauli Smith signed a book contract in February with South Carolina-based Arcadia Publishing to bring Coates, one of Colorado's first woman pastors, and other 19th-century residents of Highlandlake and neighboring Mead into much sharper focus.
"I have to tell the story in the pictures, and I only have 70 words per caption including the credits. ... We'll find out how good I am at haiku," said Smith, laughing.
Arcadia plans to release the book, "Highlandlake and Mead," in 2013.
The project thus far has led Smith, 61, to stacks of sepia-toned photographs of long-forgotten folks.
She has found but two images of Coates. Yet, Smith started seeing this woman more clearly as early as 1987, when she and her husband, Jeff, bought the church parsonage and began using Coates' former bedroom as their dining room.
"It's small. It's old. And it's drafty. It needs work. But when I walk on the property, I feel that strong, peaceful spirit. I always thought it had something to do with the pastors who lived here," said Smith, who belongs to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Frederick.
Her yen to learn more about those pastors and the people they shepherded grew when she visited the church next door, one frozen in 1917, the year it closed when the majority of Highlandlake residents moved a mile and a half east to Mead after the railroad established a depot there.
A candlelight tour of the church one brisk February day at dusk highlighted how modern amenities, such as electricity and running water, just never got installed.
As such, it became easier for Smith to imagine Coates at work, her black skirt sweeping the fir floors as she took the podium to deliver the first sermon there beside a coal-burning stove in January 1897.
When the blizzard of March 2003 dumped about 40 inches of snow on the area and caused an estimated $400,000 worth of damage to the church, Smith drew on Coates' legacy for inspiration in her historical preservation effort.
"I thought, 'If Mary Bumstead built this church without borrowing a dime, we can fix her church without borrowing a dime,'" Smith said.
Lorin C. Mead established the Highlandlake Congregational Church in 1880 when he got tired of riding his gray mule into Longmont twice weekly for services at the Longmont Congregational Church, Smith said.
But it took Coates' leadership to move the 35-member congregation out of the town schoolhouse and into a new church building 16 years later.
"Church annual meeting minutes show that the men would always say how nice it would be to have a proper church building. But it took Mary Bumstead coming to town for them to get it a couple of years later."
The native Bostonian traveled to Colorado for her health in 1894, a time when the public believed dry climates to be therapeutic for those with tuberculosis. The Longmont Ledger reports that she spoke that summer about her missionary experiences in South Africa, where she contracted the bacterial infection that can cause coughing, weight loss, fever, chills and night sweats.
By fall, the church hired Coates as its new pastor. A year later, she raised $1,000 from friends and family back east and $500 from the Congregational Building Fund. By spring 1896, she got the Highlandlake congregation to pony up another $1,000.
"They built the church for $2,500. At its dedication in April 1897, the editor of the Longmont Ledger wrote that of all the church dedications that he had attended, it was the only one where they didn't need to beg for money to retire the debt," Smith said.
Smith, executive director of the nonprofit Historic Highlandlake Inc., said that the young pastor's example of fiscal discipline was a model for her and the board.
They recruited volunteers, raised $65,000 in private donations and landed a $168,000 State Historical Fund grant -- $10,000 of which they returned when the project came in way under budget at $223,000, Smith said.
"Mary saw a need. She had a plan, and she went to work to take care of it," she said. "We wanted to do the same."
To end her church tours, Smith walks out the front doors under the bell tower, which still houses the 600-pound bell Coates and her congregation bought for $120 from the Cincinnati Bell Foundry.
She faces west across County Road 5 over the district's namesake lake, a view that keeps brides, grooms and mourners booking the church for their events.
"To lose this building, we would lose our identity as a community. We'd just be a wide spot in the road," she said.

Martin Luther King Day about the future as much as the past
New London — "We shall overcome, we shall overcome. Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe we shall overcome someday."
From the mouths of about 150 people, the words of the civil rights anthem filled State Street Monday morning as public officials, clergy, city residents and others gathered to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with the 28th annual march from City Hall to Shiloh Baptist Church.
"We are joined here on Martin Luther King Day, and I hope that we have not yet become complacent," the City Council president, the Rev. Wade A. Hyslop, said on the steps of City Hall before leading the march. "Dr. King's dream will only be kept alive if we the people continue to work towards it."
"We'll walk hand in hand, we'll walk hand in hand, we'll walk hand in hand today."
Led by Hyslop, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio and City Councilor Anthony Nolan, the group stretched across both lanes of the road, singing with linked arms. A police cruiser escorted the procession.
"Today, as we gather on what is a nice, warm day to be marching in our streets, we remember the warm heart of a man who spoke to us with courage," Finizio said. "He spoke to us with courage about civil rights, he spoke to us with courage about economic justice."
As the singing marchers made their way up State Street toward Huntington Street, their ranks grew. One man, who seemed surprised to stumble upon the march as he exited the Honey Plus convenience store, joined the group for a few blocks before going his own way.
"We live in a city that is very diverse, but we don't act with diversity in this city. I think it's time for us, really, to start looking at things that happen in and around our city and how we can interact with one another," said Hyslop, who is the pastor of Trinity Missionary Baptist Church.
"Black and white together, black and white together, black and white together today."
The multiracial group that marched through downtown served as affirmation that Martin Luther King Jr. Day is about more than just one man and his legacy, but is indeed a national holiday.
"I want you to understand that this is not just about people of color. I've heard many people say that Martin Luther King Day is a black holiday. Martin Luther King did a lot for every individual who is an American," Hyslop said. "We need to stop thinking that it is about black people on Martin Luther King Day, it is about everyone who is a citizen of the United States of America."
During a stop in front of the Superior Court building on Huntington Street, the march paused as the officials reflected on inequities in the justice system and offered a prayer that King's dream of racial harmony would be realized in the city's neighborhoods and schools.
"Celebrating Martin Luther King's life is not just about a moment of historical trivia," U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, said as he marched with the group on Cottage Street. "It is an opportunity to again examine his example, his thoughts and his words, and to connect them directly to what is happening right now in this country."
Upon arriving at Shiloh Baptist Church, the marchers were greeted by the Rev. Benjamin K. Watts, who then led a church service in honor of King's birthday.
As people began to fill the pews, the church's band and choir performed a spirited rendition of the song that began on the steps of City Hall, complete with a driving drum beat, a soaring electric organ and the inspired voices of many.
"We shall overcome, we shall overcome. Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe we shall overcome someday."

Coach Mike Brown fired by Los Angeles Lakers after 1-4 start
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Lakers fired coach Mike Brown on Friday after a 1-4 start to his second season in charge.
General manager Mitch Kupchak announced that assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff would coach the Lakers against the Warriors Friday night while the club's top brass searches for Brown's replacement after just 18 months in charge.
''The bottom line is that the team is not winning at the pace we expected this team to win, and we didn't see improvement,'' Kupchak said at the Lakers' training complex in El Segundo, Calif.
The Lakers began the season with championship expectations after trading for center Dwight Howard and point guard Steve Nash, adding two superstars alongside Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. But the Lakers went 0-8 during the preseason for the first time in franchise history before stumbling into the regular season with an 0-3 start, losing to Dallas, Portland, and the Los Angeles Clippers.
After beating Detroit Sunday for their first win, the Lakers looked listless again in a loss at Utah on Wednesday, dropping to last place in the Western Conference. LA's defense has been poor, and the players still haven't figured out the new offense installed by Brown during training camp.
Combined with their aging core of talent and a massive payroll, Kupchak and owners Jim and Jerry Buss decided they couldn't wait another game to start winning. Brown was dismissed in a morning meeting.
''We're not looking five or 10 years down the road,'' Kupchak said. ''This team was built to contend this year. There's no guarantee that this team can win a championship, but we feel that it can be deeply in the hunt. We're also aware that our players . . . are getting older, so our feeling is that we can contend at this level for another couple of years.''
Brown was hired in May 2011 to replace 11-time NBA champion Phil Jackson, signing a four-year deal worth roughly $18 million in May 2011. Kupchak said the eight-figure payout they'll have to make on Brown's contract wasn't a factor in their decision.
''It's a pretty direct message to all of us,'' Gasol said while leaving the Lakers' shootaround Friday morning. ''There's no messing around. It's time for all of us to step it up.''
In a brief news conference, Kupchak did nothing to squelch speculation that Jackson could return for a third tenure with the Lakers. The 67-year-old Jackson walked away from the club in 2011 with few apparent hard feelings, and his health has markedly improved during his time away from the NBA.
While Lakers fans had reacted with their usual panic whenever the team loses a few games in a row, Kupchak and Buss publicly appeared to stand firmly behind Brown, the longtime Cleveland Cavaliers coach. Brown had pleaded for patience with his integration of new players into his lineup while implementing a new offense.
Brown's players were behind him in public, with Bryant suggesting critics of the new offense should give them time to get it working. Bryant missed a significant portion of training camp while dealing with minor injuries, and Nash has a small fracture in his leg that has kept him out of the lineup since the Lakers' second game.
Yet the Lakers had given no indication they might pull one of the earliest coaching changes in NBA history until Kupchak gathered the players Friday morning to inform them of the decision.

Explorations in Color
I remember the sharp points and the waxy smell.
I remember hoping my little sisters who I shared them with wouldn't break them. I remember wishing I could have a perfect, unused box all to myself.
I can still feel the anticipation I had of combining the colors into one big beautiful coloring project.
But mostly I remember the pristine look of the virgin crayons - ahhhhhh - what a site.
I remember the rough paper wrappers printed in black ink that had all the names of the colors down at the lower flat end of the crayon. Now they are in three languages - how cool. What a great way for kids to learn another language early!
I remember my favorite crayon color was red violet. What was yours?
Do you have a special color memory? I would love to hear your thoughts.

I've long thought that places that do a lot of mail order yarn sales should keep a large box of Crayolas (remember the long, flat, white box with the built-in sharpener that showed you all the colors at once?) by the phone as a universlly -- well, almost -- known dictionary of colors. That way the person could describe exactly the color she's looking for - cornflower blue, magenta, burnt sienna. . .monitors aren't trustworthy, but you can count on Crayola.

Humans have a strong smell recognition, as do other animals. I think one of the most universally recognized smell is that of crayons. I recently bought a large box of crayolas for my grandsons and was disappointed to learn that some of the color names have changed. As for favorites, I was always partial to periwinkle blue, sky blue, and seafoam green; I guess I still am. Thanks for reminding us of the simple pleasure of a new box of crayons. I think I might just have to go out and buy myself a box. And, btw, I agree with duraknit about the box of crayons by the phone for mail order companies, and not just for yarn, but also for clothing.

A brand new box of crayons has always been one of my favorite things too! And I love Duraknit's idea...it's so true that Crayola is something you can always, always depend on.
And I know for a lot of us this is probably cliche - but part of the reason why I go to my LYS so often is to drink in all of the beautiful colors and color combinations.

My favorite color as a child was cornflower blue. Now as an adult, give me all the shades of red...the redder the better!

When I was about 5 and my sister 6 my dad came home from work one day and told us to gather up all our crayons - we were going to give them to kids who didn't have any. We were heartbroken - we LOVED our crayons - even though they were all broken little well-used nubs, missing wrappers and stored in an old plastic ice cream tub.
So we gathered the crayons and handed them over to dad, both of us sobbing hysterically. But like the good dad he was he had a surprise for us, since we trusted him... brand new 64 count boxes of Crayola crayons, sharpeners included, one for EACH of us.
I don't think my mom forgave him for making us cry like we did, but for the new crayons, it was worth it. We had never had new crayons before.
Dad died when I was 10. In his memory I donate 64 count boxes of Crayola crayons to Toys for Tots every year. Every child deserves a new box of crayons at least once in their life. :-)
And my favorite color was always red.

Hi Kristin,
I live in Newfane (VT) and was wondering if your little kittens are up for adoption and would they like to move a wee bit north to a beautiful mountain with a family in desperate need of a new kitten addition? If so, my e-mail is kelli at sover dot net.
I have two small children and make sure that they each get their OWN box of crayons every Christmas because I clearly remember the day my little sister broke the brand new Midnight Blue in my box of 64.

A special color memory ??? Oh yes I do . I am about 3yrs old (56 now ), I am in Texas and a huge hand ( was told later it was Don my Great Uncle's hand ) is holding mine and I am so terribly happy because I am walking to the ice cream car to get a RED popsickle !!!! I still love red so much there are no words for it LOL And I still have the taste in my mouth right now as I write LOL
As for crayolas my US Grand Mother would send us a box about once a year and I always got crayolas . I LOVED them . They were unheard of here wich made them even more special .The waxy smell and all the colors and ... Well you know .
BTW I love your work .Thanks for the blog too !
- Wednesday, November 5, 2008 at 11:25:00 AM EST
What wonderful memories you've evoked for so many readers. I got a new box of 64 each September-- fall has always been the true new year to me. And my favorite colors were turquoise and magenta, especially when used in combination. Burnt sienna was one of my most-used colors, too, because it matched my dog's fur. Lots of canine portraits around my house. Happy times.

My son is 12, and it seems he's mostly used markers, pens, pencils and such for his artistic endeavors. Maybe this is a modern thing? The other day he announced that he needed crayons for some school science project. We have some old stubby ones that he did use as a wee one (he doesn't even remember that!). Those wouldn't do, so we stopped at the Office Depot (love that place. . . they have everything), and picked up a box of 64 crayolas. He was beside himself! He had never seen such a sight (I felt a little guilty about that). He was thrilled to find the color "Macaroni and Cheese"-his favorite food! It was nice to see such a video game loving, skateboarder get so excited about crayons! Thanks for sharing your great photos.

Hi Kristin, what a great post, crayons seem to hold memories the world over, we did not have Crayola here in Ireland when I was a child but we did have thick wax crayons and the smell was and still is filled with nostalgia and memories. I dont remember having a favourite colour, but I do remember discovering that if I filled the whole page in colours and then covered it all with black then I could scrape away the black in places to make patterns, pictures and drawings, I am not sure what that is called. Thanks for the memories. Margie.

This is weird for me because I'm the most sartorially conservative person in the world but my two favorite colors in the 64-crayon box were glittery gold and shiny silver. I wore them down to nubs.
- Wednesday, November 5, 2008 at 2:25:00 PM EST
it's sad really. crayola crayons used to correspond to artists colors more when i was a child. all the different browns (including sienna brown), carmine, yellow ochre...
that said my absolute favorite was midnight blue.

Just like Lora said above, the first color to pop in my mind was cornflower blue, probably closely followed by periwinkle. Cornflower because of the color, so sweet. Periwinkle because it's a pretty color, but also, what a fun word to say! I admit when I was in grad school and living alone, way too old for coloring (some might say), I bought myself a big 64 box of crayons and a crisp new coloring book. It was a fun little distraction in between school work, but I think I hoarded it more than used it :)

Mmmm...love that smell, too. I arranged my crayons by color and I never colored inside the lines! I've also been known to run with scissors...
My color memory has to do with knitting as a kid. My first needles were red plastic and my yarn was Red Heart acrylic variegated in crayon bright colors because I couldn't choose just one! (I think the colorway was called Mexicali.)

I loved magenta, which I called "magneta". Funny to see all the cornflower blue love, because that was the one crayola crayon I hated. Not due to the color, but because it seemed more waxy than the other colors and it was hard to get a nice solid layer of blue from it.

Does anyone remember Maria THeresa Gold? I was in Austria and Innsbruck is painted with that color and I immediatley remembered my TINY box of crayons...I think we got the 24 -sniff- You all got the bigger boxes. I remember that smell too just sitting here I can breathe in and catch a whiff... I love the idea of donating crayolas what an EXCELLENT idea! I'm going to do that this year!
Thanks Kristin!

I loved burnt sienna, cerulean, and jungle green. I still do! My sisters and I used to fight over the silver and gold. Since I'm the youngest of the five girls (my 3 brothers didn't care much for those particular colors), I usually lost out on the metallics!

I homeschooled both my children.
Magenta. Still.
Every year when all the school kids were buying their supplies, we'd get a new box of 64 for each child.
This year my daughter is a new mother. Included in my box of baby goodies for my new grandson was...a new box of 64 Crayolas. She said it brought tears to her eyes and so many memories.

There is nothing like a new box of 64 Crayola Crayons! Luckily I was an only child so I never had to share my crayons with anyone. Although I desperately wanted an older brother (I obviously wasn't a real bright child) I know I wouldn't have wanted to share my crayons. I loved it when they were new and still had the fresh out of the box point!
Spring Green was my favorite. It always made the best 'grass' in my pictures.
what great memories! Thanks!!
- Thursday, November 6, 2008 at 2:50:00 PM EST
I still love midnight blue.
- Thursday, November 6, 2008 at 9:25:00 PM EST
I also vote for magenta and burnt sienna!
Wasn't there a blue-green and a green-blue?
My grandparents brought my sister and me the box of 64 crayons, which was the most fabulous gift.

It is funny how Mothers think because I too was living this memory as I jealously cuddled with my daughter's box of 120 crayons just the other day!! She had been running back and forth asking me to read the names and I obliged happily surprised at all of the new names! It made me stop and smell the roses (or crayons as the case may be) and spend a few minutes remembering myself. The youngest of six, I was spoiled enough to have my own box and was so happy when they invented the big box with the sharpener on the back. There is nothing like a sharp crayon. I would outline my colorings with a sharp dark line and then color them in smoothly and perfectly. My most used crayon was black, which was used so often it was a hard to find nub in the bottom of the box. My favorite color was cornflower blue.

Like so many other people here: my favorites were cornflower blue and periwinkle. I LOVED them in a passionate way! Now I love all colors, I guess I have grown up a bit. A new box of 64 Crayolas (a think I had a few in my child-life) was the best gift ever. Arranging them took hours and hour. (Come to think of it, I think I sort of worshiped them!)

I ran across your blog from someone else's blog (I can't remember who's) and I was overcome with nostalgia when I read your post about crayons. I too have a strong memory of the smell of the crayons. I also loved the order of a new box of 64 crayons. The lovely way one color flowed into the next. I used to try to put the crayons back just where they started, but I always messed it up eventually. My favorite color is strawberry red. Many years ago I was given a Strawberry red crayon by someone who I greatly admired because he said that it reminded him of me. I kept that exact crayon for a long time, but eventually lost it during one of my many moves during college. almost 20 years later, I still think of him when I see a strawberry red crayon....and I still feel a little special.

A new box of crayons, a couple of nicely sharpened pencils, a pen with a perfect point and blank paper. The possibilities are endless and so exciting.
Which color to choose first, what words will flow from the pen or pencil, will my doodling turn into something never imagined?
Your pictures and thoughts brought back a landslide of memories. I remember saving up my money to buy myself a box of crayons. Of course it was the 64 with the sharpener but I never liked how the crayons sharpened. I liked using a pocket knife and peeling away slivers of color until the point was the way I wanted it.
Thanks for the memories.

Green-blue was my favorite (not to be confused with blue-green, which was a horrid color!)
The old waxy crayons were definitely the best. The washable crayons of today are not the same. Plus, you can't use all the little nubs of washable crayons to make nifty projects, like crayon shavings ironed onto the paper or hot rock painting! I love crayola!

your blog is fascinating - i just finished reading e'one's comments and it sure did bring back some awesome memories. i was the second oldest of five children, and lots of neighbor kids were always around, so there was lots of sharing going on - my most favorite has to be midnight blue (oh and forest green). I STILL love crayola crayons, and i actually have a few tins of crayons that were sort of collectors series that i keep safe (ha ha ha). i truely LOVE crayons, and coloring and my sister jnet actually sent me the link for your blog and said "Another crayola enthusist!

The Irish government has made the first move to tackle cyber bullying on social network sites in the wake of the death of Junior Minister Shane McEntee.
The Meath deputy took his own life with his angry family adamant that internet abuse was a factor in his death.
Now McEntee's close friend Enda Kenny, the Irish Prime Minister, has ordered an investigation into cyber bullying.
The move also follows the tragic deaths of Donegal sisters Shannon and Erin Gallagher who committed suicide within six weeks of each other.
A report on cyber bullying and the influence of social media websites like Twitter and Facebook on public debate will be compiled by a special meeting of the Oireachtas (parliamentary) Committee on Transport and Communications.
The group, set to begin the process next month under committee chairman Tom Hayes, can then recommend new legislation.
Hayes told the Irish Independent newspaper that cyber-bullying is a huge issue, particularly for young people.
He added; "This thing can't be left go unchecked, where people can put up vile comments and get away with it."
The paper states that an Oireachtas committee can produce reports and recommendations but they do not have to be acted upon by Government.
The committee can also call witnesses in before it. Hayes stated: "The aim is to produce a report that will help the Government if it wants to draw up legislation or regulations to deal with the issue."

Rated 4 out of 5 by foof3r from Almost Perfect Just like the other reviewers have said, they do run quite big. These jeans feel more like jeggings and are incredibly stretchy. I normally wear a size 28 in jeans (like Trues) but ordered these in a 27.. They came today but are still a bit big so just ordered them in a 26 which should fit perfect. GO DOWN TWO SIZES!! BEBE jeans and leggings unnecessarily run bigger than most brands

Rated 1 out of 5 by fashionista98 from Flat Behind I really like the color and style of this pair of jeans except the back pockets being so low and big. This makes the behind look flat which is unattractive. People like J.Lo and Beyoncé could get away with this pair as they have a very BIG behind. Will be returning these jeans.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Antoinette from Perfect Jeans These jeans are soooooo comfortable and fit beautifully. I took the advice of another reviewer and went down a size and I'm glad I did (thank you!). I usually wear a 29 and decided to go with the 28 and they fit perfectly. I received so many compliments on these jeans.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NikkieGiovanni from My new go to jean These jeans are uber comfy-like your boyfriend's jeans. They run a bit big so you can go a size down. The color is very vibrant and the feel is very soft. Dress them anyway you want and still come out a winner.

Road crews in Lenawee County are ready to push back when winter weather moves in.
Adrian city engineer Kristin Bauer said she is hearing predictions for more snow and cold than usual.
"But we're ready for it. We'll do what we always do," Bauer said.
Storage buildings are stocked with road salt and plow drivers have been assigned routes. Motorists will see no change in the level of service in the coming season of snow and ice, said officials from the Michigan Department of Transportation, Lenawee County Road Commission and the city of Adrian.
Staffing levels are unchanged at MDOT's garage in Adrian; snowplows will be sent onto state highways 24 hours a day during storms, said spokeswoman Kari Arend.
State highways are still divided by MDOT into two priority levels. Level 1 routes are to be maintained as bare pavement while Level 2 routes are to have at least a bare strip in the center at all times.
Level 1 state highway routes in Lenawee County include all of U.S. 223 and U.S. 127 north of U.S. 223, as well as U.S. 12 east from U.S. 127 to Ypsilanti. All other state highways in the county are in the Level 2 category.
A new winter maintenance policy and revised procedures were adopted last month by the Lenawee County Road Commission. Road commission officials plan to deal with staff reductions by putting engineering and building maintenance staff in snowplows if needed to maintain service at last year's level.
One change residents might notice is pickups with snowblades clearing some subdivision streets. Two engineering technicians agreed to drive the small trucks through subdivisions that are difficult for snowplows to maneuver through, said operations manager Jason Schnaidt.
"They seem pretty excited to do it," Schnaidt said. Two other workers have also agreed to drive snowplows if needed this winter, he said.
Mechanics have gone through sand- and salt-spreading equipment to make sure it is ready to go, Schnaidt said. Sanders are already installed on some trucks, he said. The rest can be installed within an hour. The road commission's storage buildings were left full at the end of the last winter season, he said, and a contract to keep the agency stocked with salt was extended earlier this year.
The new policy and procedures emphasize a need for motorists to be prepared for slippery conditions on county roads during the winter. The policy does not call for maintaining bare pavement.
Although snow will be plowed during winter storms, the policy states, "drivers should expect to encounter random icy spots and should adjust their speed accordingly."
Winter maintenance procedures no longer name specific roads that are to receive priority attention, but routes with the highest traffic volumes such as Occidental, Rogers and Ridge highways will still be on the top of the list for snowplowing, said Schnaidt.
During storms that arrive overnight, plowing and salt spreading will typically start by 4 a.m. Drivers are to continue overtime work based on road and weather conditions.
On weekends, primary routes will be the focus, with limited plowing on local roads, depending on conditions.
In the city of Adrian, at least three drivers will be plowing and spreading salt around the clock during storms, said Bauer. The city is responsible for maintaining state highways within its borders under a contract with MDOT. The state routes are the top priority, followed by major streets.
During daytime hours, Bauer said, drivers attempt to make at least one pass down local streets. It may take several days after a storm to finish clearing snow from local streets.
The city's winter road maintenance plan is detailed on Adrian's website, at www.adrianmi.gov.
Bauer urged city residents to help during winter storms by not plowing snow from driveways into the streets. She also urged drivers to be cautious near city trucks that are plowing snow and avoid turning into their path.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West pose for steamy magazine cover
They are set to become parents to their first child this summer (12), but that didn't stop the stars from posing suggestively for the steamy picture for L'Officiel Hommes.
The cover image, featuring a topless West with his back to the camera as Kardashian grips her man, is the pair's first joint magazine shoot since it began dating early last year (12).
Meanwhile, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians beauty has opened up about their relationship in a new interview with America's Cosmopolitan publication.
During the chat, Kardashian admits she has softened her stance on having children out of wedlock after previously giving her sister Kourtney a hard time after she fell pregnant with her son Mason, now two.
She tells the magazine, "I was like (to Kourtney), 'You're not married! How could you do this?' I was really firm and strict. But she was like, 'Marriage isn't what I want.' And later, I realised she had a better family life than I did."
The 32 year old insists she and West have discussed getting married in the future, but after her second union to basketball player Kris Humphries fell apart after just 72 days, she no longer wants to rush into such a big decision.
She says, "(Marriage) is something I know that we both want in our future, but I don't have this sense of urgency about it. I have this best friend who understands me and helps me through all my tough experiences, and vice versa, you know? It just feels like this is it for me."
However, Kardashian is convinced she's ready to become a mum after years of yearning for children: "I've always said that I wanted kids, but I don't think I ever would have been ready until now."
Kardashian split from Humphries in October, 2011 and began dating West in early 2012.

Cheapest sunscreens protect well
In Consumer Reports' latest ratings of sunscreens, Up & Up (Target) Continuous Spray Sport SPF 50 and Equate (Walmart) Ultra Protection Lotion SPF 50 earned the highest scores in tests and were among the least expensive.
Some of the priciest sunscreens that were tested offered less than their labeled SPF value, a measure of protection from burning UVB rays.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has new rules governing sunscreens. According to the agency, one of the most important requirements is the testing and labeling that identifies sunscreens that are "broad spectrum." Broad spectrum means that the sunscreen should offer protection against UVB and UVA rays.
Consumer Reports evaluated 12 sunscreens for their effectiveness at protecting against UVA and UVB rays – both of which can cause skin cancer.
Six sunscreens, including the top-scoring products from Target and Walmart, Coppertone Water Babies SPF 50 lotion and Walgreens Sport Continuous Spray SPF 50 rated Very Good overall. They guarded against UVB rays before and after 80 minutes under water and were Very Good against UVA rays – all at a cost of $1.67 or less per ounce.
Tests also showed that paying more may not buy more protection – the least effective sunscreens were among the priciest.
While there are potential safety concerns associated with several sunscreen ingredients based on animal study findings, Consumer Reports continues to recommend the use of sunscreen as part of a broad approach to sun protection.
Consumer Reports suggests using one of its recommended sunscreens or choosing a product that claims broad-spectrum protection, has a claimed SPF of at least 40 and is water resistant.
To stay safe, limit time in the sun, reapply sunscreen every two hours while outdoors and, if possible, wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses.
And keep in mind the following tips when using any sunscreen:
• Proper application. Apply sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before sun exposure. Use at least 2 to 3 tablespoons of lotion to cover exposed skin. For sprays, use as much as can be rubbed in, then repeat.
Reapply every two hours or after swimming or excessive sweating. Sprays are flammable, so allow them to dry before going near an open flame.
• Proper storage. Don't store sunscreen in a hot car – it may degrade faster. Skiers take note: Once frozen, sunscreens may lose effectiveness.
The FDA requires manufacturers to provide an expiration date or show that a product will remain stable – but not necessarily maintain its SPF – for at least three years. Consumers who buy sunscreen without an expiration date should write the date of purchase on the bottle and toss it once it's 2 years old.
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., and the benefits of sunscreens outweigh potential risks from their ingredients.
That said, animal studies have raised some concerns. Nanoparticles of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide have been linked to reproductive and developmental issues in animals.
Retinoids, part of the vitamin A family and an inactive ingredient in some sunscreens, have caused an increase in skin cancers in mice. There's also a risk of birth defects in people taking oral acne medications containing retinoids, though they differ from the retinoids in sunscreens.
As a precaution, pregnant women may want to choose a sunscreen without the ingredient retinol or retinyl palmitate.
Animal studies have indicated that oxybenzone, which is in many sunscreens, may interfere with hormones in the body. The jury is still out on any harm from inhaling spray sunscreens. Until the FDA releases results of an ongoing study, avoid using sprays on kids, and spray sunscreen onto your hands before applying it to your face.

(BLOOMINGTON) - Workplace-safety regulators have fined a western Indiana animal refuge $69,000 for safety violations discovered after a tiger mauled a woman at the center in June.
Investigators with the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration found dangerous conditions at the Exotic Feline Rescue Center the agency said were "likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees. The agency fined the center $56,000 for "knowing" violations and another $13,000 for "serious" violations, The Herald-Times reported.
IOSHA cited concerns with fence height, gaps in the cages and the operation of sliding gates at the refuge that houses 220 cats, mostly tigers but also lions, pumas, cougars and other exotic felines.
Owner Joe Taft, who started the animal rescue center in 1991 with just three big cats, said he stands by the safety of the center and the care it provides to unwanted and rescued exotic felines.
"In our 23-year history, we have never had a problem. Our fences are compliant with federal regulations and if you have ever been here, it should be apparent that there is no danger," he said Tuesday. "All of our employees feel safe here, even the young lady who was hurt last summer, who has been back working for quite some time."
Marissa Dub suffered severe head, neck and vocal cord injuries in the June 21 attack at the animal refuge near Center Point about 60 miles southwest of Indianapolis. That attack occurred after she failed to secure a sliding cage gate.
Taft said the center employs 12 people who feed the cats, administer medications and clean out cages. He has 15 working days to seek a meeting with IOSHA officials to review the safety orders issued and compromise on how to alleviate those concerns.
Taft said it costs about $3,000 per year to care for each cat and the center's annual budget is about $700,000. He said he's worried the fines will put the animals and the center in jeopardy.
"We think the quality and caliber of work we do here is high. We are disappointed by this response from the state," Taft said.
IOSHA spokesman Bob Dittmer said the agency does not routinely inspect workplaces unless there is a safety complaint or an incident that results in injury or death. He had no record of any past investigations at the Exotic Feline Rescue Center.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture issues permits and licenses for exotic animal possession and launched an investigation at the center after the June tiger attack. The results of its inquiry have not been released.

Has anyone worked with Power Brands or Flavorman?
I am looking to break into the 'energy shot' market and need help formulating specialized prototypes to take to investors.
Powerbrands and Flavorman seem to have full scale services but I cannot find any reviews for them online.
Also, how much can I expect to spend on formulating a single energy shot and having a small prototype batch (~100 shots) produced?

If you value your time, money and your life, Run far away from power brands! If you havent already fallen for their scam. They are Con Artists! $20,000 after working with these wastemen, for 2yrs!! I have absolutely nothing to show for all that time and money being spent, but a valueable lesson.
I was finally referred to Sovereign flavors. Pretty reasonable, good work ethics.
