About SkatSkat is the most popular card game in Germany, but also well known all over the world.Three players form two counter parties, which are playing against each other. The Declarer (player which is playing alone) is determined by bidding against the other players. Bidding means, each player estimates a bid value of its card deck and tries to outbid the other players. The bid value is a combination of high trumps (jacks) and the bidded suit (trump suit), with exception of Grand and Null games. In Grand games only Jacks are trump, Null games don't have trumps and have a fixed bid value.The goal of a game is, to earn the most points. Normally a game is won by the declarer, if it achieves 61 points (simple games). In exceptional cases the declarer has to achieve 91 ("Schneider") points, to get all tricks of a game ("Schwarz") or to get no trick (Null games). A Series consistes of 36 games (48 games if four players are playing a Series). Goal of a Skat is, to have the most points at the end of a Series.
The finally result will be determined by using the Fabian-Seger-System. I.e. for each won game, the declarer gets 50 bonus points. For each lost game of the declarer, the counter party gets 40 bonus points.

text: Hi I'd like to get the 5MP OV5642 just grab an image and FTP it. I took a look at the Arducam code for the OV5642 but it seems they only get a 320x240 image and I'm not sure where to set it to go to 5MP. Also in Arducam it requires the shield and LCD to grab the image. Is there documentation on how and where to connect the cam directly to the Arduino? I don't need video just the image, time is not an issue for me either, if it takes 10 seconds to send it, I don't mind.

After the American Revolution, the United States took control of the lands that had been previously claimed by each of the colonies west of the Ohio River. In 1785, Congress passed the land Ordinance Act allowed the public domain lands to be sold for profit. When the land was sold, patents were issued to the person buying the property from the U.S. government. The land sold to the settlers form the bulk of the Eastern States Land Records held by the Bureau of Land Management. More than a billion acres of land and 7.5 million transactions are recorded in their office.
Homestead Act of 1862
The Homestead Act was signed into law by President Lincoln on May 20, 1862. This allowed any U.S. citizen or intended U.S. citizen who had not borne arms against the United States to file a claim to 160 acres of land. The homesteader had to live on the land for five years, during which he had to 'improve' the land by building a house and growing crops on the land. Due to the difficult conditions of prairie life, however, many people did not stay the full time.
The Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 repealed the Homestead Act after millions of applications had been processed for government land. (Note: The Act was extended for ten years in Alaska with the last title under the law being given in 1988.)
For those of you fond of the Little House on the Prairie books, Laura Ingalls Wilder's father Charles Ingalls and her husband Alonzo Wilder filed claims for land under the Homestead Act. NARA has an article about them on their website: Link.
You can look up land patents at the Bureau of Land Management: Link
(My 3rd great-grandfather Solomon Osborn Atchley purchased 40 acres in Indiana in 1838.)
Historical Note: Not all land west of the Ohio will have a land patent on this website. Missouri, for instance, was owned by the Spanish and French, and many people went west and got patents from those governments instead.

Two Final Rules Alter Filing and Litigation Procedures For Those Who Challenge MSHA Citations And Orders.
By Adele L. Abrams, Esq., CMSP
In the waning days of 2010, the Federal Mine Safety & Health Review Commission (FMSHRC) issued two final rules that alter filing, and litigation procedures for those who challenge MSHA citations and orders. The first rule, published in the Nov. 30, 2010, Federal Register, is fairly straightforward but does impose requirements that may pose difficulties for some small aggregate producers who are "technology-challenged." This rule took effect on Dec. 30, 2010.
In a nutshell, the new "Penalty Settlement Procedure" adds two new requirements to existing procedures (which are codified at 29 CFR Part 2700). The rule mandates that, in all civil penalty proceedings, other than discrimination cases arising under Section 105(c) of the Mine Act, for which hard copies of any settlement Motions must be submitted without including a Proposed Order, a party who files a settlement Motion with the Commission must now include a Proposed Order along with the motion and must file the documents electronically.
Typically, such motions are filed by the MSHA Conference and Litigation Representative (CLR) or the attorney representing MSHA from the Office of the Solicitor, and it can be expected that they will automatically file the newly required order. However, mine operators should ensure that what gets filed with the FMSHRC does include a proper Proposed Order; otherwise, the Administrative Law Judge assigned to the case will reject it and this can delay resolution of the matter or even force it to proceed to trial.
Direct Impact
The electronic filing requirements may not have much direct impact, as long as MSHA's representative is handling this, but in the occasional cases where MSHA's CLR asks the mine operator to prepare and submit the Motion and Proposed Order, this requires signing the Motion, scanning it to a PDF and then submitting it to the FMSHRC electronically. However, the Proposed Order cannot be filed as a PDF and must be submitted as a regular "word" file so it can be edited, if needed, by the ALJ. In addition, parties can file non-electronically only with express permission from the judge, so those in rural area without good internet access may wish to avail themselves of this option.
The basic requirements for the content of Motions remain unchanged, but they must include the amount of the proposed penalty for each violation, the modified penalty amount (if applicable) and the facts that support the penalty agreed to by the parties. The information may be set forth in the Proposed Order, and simply incorporated by reference into the Motion.
Copies of the Motion and Proposed Order must be served expeditiously on the opposing party. The rule also, significantly, requires that the party filing the motion must represent to the Commission that the other party consents to the granting of the motion and the entry of the order approving settlement, but they do not have to certify that the other party actually reviewed and approved the Motion and Proposed Order. However, to avoid nasty surprises, the Motion/Order must be served on all parties at least five business days before the documents are submitted to the Commission.
Sample Forms
The FMSHRC has made sample forms for proposed orders approving settlement available on its website (www.fmshrc.gov), but these templates do not have to be used as long as all requisite information is included. The Commission makes it clear that it intends to have each proposed order stand alone as a description of the settlement and the reasons for any approval of the settlement, so simply stating the rationale in the motion will be grounds for rejecting the settlement.
The second, more-significant, procedural modification was published by the Commission on Dec. 28, 2010, and takes effect on March 1, 2011. Although it is deemed a final rule, the FMSHRC will still accept additional comment from the mining community through Jan. 12, 2011. This rulemaking has created what FMSHRC calls "Simplified Proceedings," which alter discovery rights in a substantive manner and raise other novel legal issues. The rule was designed to help expedite hearings and deal with the massive 18,000-plus case backlog at the Commission.
If matters were not resolved through the simplified process, however, the mine operator would still be entitled to a full due process hearing.
After considering comments submitted by two law firms, the Secretary of Labor (on behalf of MSHA and the Solicitor's office), the Industrial Minerals Association-North America, Public Citizen, one individual, and several mining companies, the FMSHRC has agreed to launch the simplified proceedings as a "pilot program" for a period of 9-12 months.
Key Question
The key question is what cases will be channeled to the "simplified proceedings track" and who makes that decision. The rule remains ambiguous on this point, and there are valid concerns that judges will be prone to trying to simplify cases that have complex issues, in order to fast-track the litigation. This could have adverse consequences for the mine operator who is precluded from conducting thorough discovery, which could reveal legal arguments to combat invalid citations.
The proposed rule had suggested that the simplified proceedings would be appropriate for cases that did not involve complex issues of law or fact, had a limited number of citations (number unspecified), and having an aggregate proposed penalty of no more than $15,000 per docket or $50,000 per proceeding (since multiple dockets are often consolidated because they arise from a single inspection but are assessed and docketed separately by MSHA). The proposal also specified that simplified cases could not involve citations or orders issued under sections 104(b), 104(d), 104(e), 105(c), 107(a), 110(b), 110(c) or 111 of the Mine Act – so, no unwarrantable failures, imminent danger cases, failure to abate actions, discrimination cases, or personal prosecutions could be involved. Other factors that would kick a case out of the fast track would be any fatality, injury or illness, as well as any cases with hearings that would take more than a single day.
The final rule clarifies that only Section 104(a) citations will be eligible for simplified proceedings, with no special assessments involved and no expert witness testimony needed, but it refrained from setting a maximum dollar value or trial duration, leaving that to the discretion of the Commission's chief judge or his designee. In response to comments, the FMSHRC agreed that, prior to docketing, citations/orders for some cases should be grouped by inspection, and also by the issuing authorized representative. This will help the Commission to ascertain the potential dollar value and complexity of a case.
One of the troubling aspects of the final rule is that, while originally the Commission seemed to suggest that parties would have the flexibility to opt-in or out of the new process, now it has decided that the decision to opt-in should not be within the exclusive control of the parties. If a party disagrees with a simplified proceedings designation, however, they can file a motion to opt-out under 29 CFR 2700.104.
The Commission also will not let parties consensually opt-in for any type of case, although such mutual requests may be granted at the discretion of the ALJ. Moreover, the rule states that all requests to opt-in need not be consented to by the opposing party. This suggests that a case could be assigned to the simplified track, even over the mine operator's objection. The rule does note that, if it becomes apparent that a case is not appropriate for the simplified proceedings, the ALJ can discontinue this upon his own motion or that of any party. However, such reclassification must occur at least 30 days before any scheduled hearing.
Exchange of Information
Another section of the rule, 29 CFR 2700.105, sets forth the "pre-hearing exchange of information" procedures. Within 45 days after a case is assigned to this track, each party must provide the other with copies of all documents, including electronically stored information and tangible things that would be used to support claims or defenses. This includes inspection notes, citation documentation, narratives, photos, drawings, preshift and onshift reports, training records, mine maps and witness statements. Obviously, if any documents are protected by attorney-client privilege or were prepared under the attorney work product doctrine, they could be withheld and listed on a privilege log. But no discovery requests would be needed or permitted to clarify the scope of the mandated production, and this may result in the mine operator having to produce potentially incriminating materials that are tangential to the case, and which could trigger additional citations. Moreover, there will be no real way to ascertain whether MSHA has fully produced all relevant or useful documents, and no way to sanction them if they fail to do so. Given this development, it probably makes sense to file a prompt Freedom of Information Act request with MSHA, as soon as possible after the inspection ends, if litigation is anticipated. This will help ensure that all non-privileged materials are available to the mine operator for its defense. The rule makes it clear that formal discovery – including depositions – is "generally prohibited" for simplified cases.
After documents are exchanged, the ALJ will hold a pre-hearing conference, to discuss settlement of the case, narrowing of issues, stipulations of fact and issues, defenses, witnesses and exhibits, any motions that might be needed (e.g., a motion in limine) and other pertinent matters. Some of the newer judges are already doing this and actually give a glimpse of how they regard the challenged citations and associated penalties (albeit without viewing any evidence or hearing any actual testimony). Given experience to date with these new types of pre-hearing conferences, it will be critical for the mine operator to review any information that MSHA produces promptly, do any necessary legal research quickly, and have its defense refined before the conference occurs, to avoid having the judge form a prematurely poor opinion of the defense's litigation posture.
The rule does clarify that, because admissions made in the context of settlement negotiations are not intended to be admissible at trial, an ALJ assigned to a simplified case should not hear settlement discussions during the conference, and should only be privy to settlement efforts (but not the settlement contents).
It is debatable whether the simplified proceedings will actually diminish the backlog and improve adjudication of cases, since – at least in my view - discovery has not been the delaying factor and its elimination (especially depositions) may prevent the mine operator from discovering information that has often been key to getting MSHA to vacate or modify citations. Under the new rules, MSHA may fail to disclose voluntarily the identify of valuable witnesses (such as previous inspectors who had approved of the cited condition or practice), as well as supporting documentation from previous inspections (which can currently be obtained through either a FOIA or formal discovery). Moreover, there is nothing in the procedures that specifies any set timeline for actually proceeding to trial under the simplified rules.
The Commission has committed to studying the impact of the pilot program and reporting back to the mining community on its success or lack thereof, as well as being open to modifications down the road. The case backlog is frustrating for all concerned (even the lawyers!) and, at a minimum, recognition that MSHA must stop splitting up inspections into multiple dockets and more aggressive consolidation of such cases will be a good first step.
In a ruling that comes as welcome news for California aggregates producers, the California Air Resources Board approved a four-year reprieve for its off-road diesel emissions rule, admitting that a down economy and unreliable science contributed to previous data.
The revised rule approved by the California Air Resources Board delays its emissions standards for off-road diesel equipment until 2014, eases the annual burden employers have to bear, and gives contractors greater flexibility in determining how to comply. The revised rule also gives contractors and producers credit for the efforts they have already made to reduce emissions and rewards contractors for voluntarily reducing emissions before 2014. However, the final rule still lowers emissions below the levels that the Board originally sought to achieve when it first proposed its off-road diesel emissions rule in 2007.
"The Board's decision to approve the revised off-road diesel emissions rules gives hope to thousands of construction workers fearful for their job security while safeguarding California's air quality," said Michael Kennedy, general counsel of the Associated General Contractors of America. "Board members have demonstrated real wisdom and courage in acknowledging significant errors in their original estimates of emissions from construction and other off-road diesel equipment. The revisions approved today reflect a strong commitment to setting standards based on sound science and reliable data. More importantly, the revisions allow hard-hit construction firms the time and flexibility needed to modernize their diesel equipment in a way that actually delivers meaningful environmental benefits to the state's residents. That is because the measure's new timeline allows contractors to modernize their fleets with more efficient equipment coming on line in the next few years.
"Yet even as this new rule provides significant relief for a state-wide construction industry that has lost nearly 50,000 jobs during the last year alone, it also delivers greater environmental benefits than the original version of the rule," he continued. "In other words, California officials have demonstrated that improving the environment and supporting robust economic growth do not have to be mutually exclusive."
Feds Act on Diesel Emissions
The passage of the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) by the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (EPW) was hailed as a major step in continuing "a vital clean air program that has benefited communities in every single state in the nation," according to Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the Diesel Technology Forum (DTF).
DERA (S. 3973) is a five-year reauthorization of the highly-successful program created in 2005 to establish voluntary national and state-level grant and loan programs to reduce diesel emissions by upgrading and modernizing older diesel engines and equipment. The bipartisan legislation was introduced by Senators George Voinovich (R-OH) and Tom Carper (D-DE) and cosponsored by several of their colleagues including EPW Chair Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Ranking Member James Inhofe (R-OK).
"DERA has helped clean up tens of thousands of diesel engines. It's been incredibly cost-effective—EPA estimates that every federal dollar invested in DERA translates into at least 13 dollars in health benefits. This cost effectiveness is actually higher thanks to state and local matches that stretch the federal DERA dollars. DERA funds also support new and existing jobs in clean diesel manufacturing, as well as local jobs in installing and maintaining the new diesel technologies.
"While it's been difficult lately to find environmental issues that have near-universal bipartisan support among Democrats and Republicans, DERA has proven to be one program to do so," Schaeffer continued. "In addition, a unique and diverse coalition of more than 500 environmental, health, industry are actively working for DERA's reauthorization."

The market for plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) is charged up and ready to roll. Growth in market penetration of PEVs is occurring across most major global markets.
Utilities can gain the upper hand in the PEV arena through developing a PEV charging infrastructure with the digital customer at the core. According to Accenture Consulting New Energy Consumer research, 81 percent of customers prefer buying charging services from their energy provider.
However, many utilities are just beginning to formulate an integrated PEV strategy. A window of opportunity is available now, but utilities need to act quickly to become a major player in the PEV market. If they do not, other players in the PEV ecosystem (including automotive, technology and retail companies) will likely develop a digital customer experience strategy and thereby win.VIEW THE REPORT [PDF]

Two items of the lost & found type
As an instance of that, I'm bringing to the visitors of this blog two examples of rare Laughtonware of which I just came aware through Youtube.
Filmed Galileo, by Ruth Berlau
Laughton as Galileo, William Phipps as Andrea and Mickey Knox as the Little Monk, in a photo from the Los Angeles staging
"In describing Laughton's Galileo Galilei the playwright is setting out not so much to try and give a little more permanence to one of those fleeting works of art that actors create, as to pay tribute to the pains a great actor is prepared to take over a fleeting work of this sort". So wrote Bertolt Brecht in "Building up a part: Laughton's Galileo".
It is indeed a pity that great stage work is usually only enjoyed by contemporaries, leaving little, or no trace for the future. Nowadays many stage performances may occasionally be captured in video, but older events are lost forever. Still, one can try to figure, even if in a platonic way, an approximative idea, from testimonials, reviews and pictures, how a performance might have been.
In the case of the 1947 stagings of Galileo, we have Brecht's word, and also the photographs which Ruth Berlau took during rehearsals.
Time ago, I was lucky to see a documentary titled "My name is Bertolt Brecht, Exile in U.S.A." (produced in 1989), in a local film festival: and I was thrilled to see that it contained silent filmed excerpts of Laughton's performance as Galileo. The directors (Norbert Bunge and ChristineFisher-Defoy) were present, so I asked Mr. Bunge about the footage, and he told me that there were filmed bits of the stage production in the Brecht archives in East Berlin. Very interesting to know. however, i was led to think that those were just only a few short filmed bits.
But recently, I came across a one-minute bit from a documentary about Ruth Berlau in Youtube ( Click here to watch it), in which, apart from it showing bits which I had not seen in the other documentary, it is mentioned that Ruth Berlau's filmed record is more extensive than I believed: she shot the entire play. Albeit it was done with a domestic camera, in Black and White, and from a static position (in fact, as an spectator might have seen it in the theatre), well, the mere idea of it being available to be seen is mind-boggling.
Click here to learn more about the documentary containing these images, "Red Ruth: That Deadly Longing"
Stopover in Bombay
Another surprise foud in Youtube is a video from a TV programme hosted and starred by Laughton titled "Stopover in Bombay". According to the notes accompanying the video, the show was never aired! It seems that it was a pilot of a series to be hosted by Laughton, who would also play parts in some of the series' episodes.
The date seems to be 1958, which is interesting, as it shows that, even though Laughton didn't do much films after "The Night of The Hunter", he was certainly busy, albeit in other mediums.

hey! What a delight is your Laughtonisms - especially as I'm in the middle of Callow's Welles bio and he's writing about Welles directing Laughton in Brecht's Galileo. I'm presuming as you must be clearly the well-informiedest (next to Callow himself perhaps, with his Laughton bio which I've yet to read) on the matter, that Welles eventually abandoned his hand in Galileo in order to focus full time on AROUND THE WORLD, which I have the feeling will turn out to be a disaster...
- Gloria said...
Hi Erich... I have still to get "Hello Americans", but yes, the thought of a Brecht -Laughton -Welles combination makes the mind boggle!
I only wish I was as well informed as I want to about CL: Callow is the real number 1. His work on Welles is already monumental, and his book on Laughton is, IMHO, the best biography published about him... So very recommended, if you want to know about CL

Luckily I discovered your post a few months ago and so got to see this precious footage of Laughton in GALILEO, including the sound of his line reading ... but now ... the youtube clip has been taken down - really too bad!
Regarding this GALILEO material, I was recently reading Ruth Berlau on GALILEO; the amount of material to bring to light on it is mind boggling: she claims to have taken some 3000 photographs of the Los Angeles production, and Brecht still pointed out some missing pieces, hence the 8mm filming of the play; worried about the changes Laughton was making, Brecht suggested Laughton make some phonograph recordings of what he was altering and why - Berlau says: "These discs containing Laughton's explanations are still in existence." ~!
On another note of rare Laughton recordings, I found this curious entry in Brecht's Work Journal:
"3 May 1945, help Laughton to rehearse the story of the creation for a record. his ear is attuned to the familiar, international parsonical tone, which spoils everything, since his voice seldom follows his gest and is clumsy when it does, ie has little mobility. i advise him to do a few exercises and we go to a recording studio and record the following: a) the creation as recited by a frenchman like jean renoir, b) by a yourkshireman (laughton's home), c) by a cockney (at the beginning mr. smith created the heaven and the earth), d) by a planter trying to make the natives believe he created the world, e) by a butler (in the beginning his lordship created...), f) by a soldier 'in the foxhole' (with 'so what' and 'much good did it do us' between the acts of the creation). now the whole thing sounds like a primitive fertility rite or phallic dance."
keep up the beautiful, ever lively and astute work on your blog!

Hi Andy,
Ouch! that's the bad thing about youtube: nothing seems to be permanent! Let's hope that the Ruth Berlau documentary gets a DVD release. (incidentally, this seems possible, certainly the official page of the documentary mentions DVD licensing at the bottom of the page: i'll have to ask them about it ;D)
BTW, here's the link about that documentary:
I'm awed at what you say... please, I want to know more! You seem well sourced: the statements by Berlau which you mention, are from a published source, or a non-yet-published, or archival one? Ditto about Brecht's Work Journal.
Wow, 3000 pictures: it seems that the play could be re-constructed scene by scene: what a book that could be! (not to mention the 8 mm film: I wonder if it only consists of a few clips or the whole play, as mentioned in the -disappeared clip).
Re the phonograph recordings of alterations, I recall listening to a BBC programme about Laughton (hosted by Simon Callow), which contained a recording which Laughton sent to Brecht with a reading of a scene. At the end of it, Charles made his own comments to it and gave regards to Brecht...
I have at home two commercial recordings of the New Testament by Laughton with music by Hans Eisler... I imagine they are contemporary with these exercises Brecht mentions. However, these are Christmas-related readings, not excerpts from genesis, as in the occasion mentioned by Brecht.
I wonder if the six renditions of the creation, as read and recorded by Laughton at Brecht's suggestion, are stored somewhere: I'd give something to be able to listen to them.

Dear Gloria,
I apologize, that was cruel of me not to give a source on the Berlau material! It's from her beautiful memoir LIVING FOR BRECHT (edited by Hans Bunge), published by Fromm Int Pub Corp., 1987 (isbn 0-88064-071-5). I reccommend it for anyone even slightly interested in Brecht's working methods. There aren't a ton of references to Laughton in her memoir but, as you see, the ones that are there are precious.
There are MANY references to Laughton and his practical working methods in Brecht's JOURNALS 1934-1955 (edited by John Willet and Ralph Manheim), published in English by Routledge Press, isbn: 0-415-91282-2 (easily available for cheap on abebooks.com). In my opinion (admittedly from a die- hard student of Brecht) the JOURNAL is one of the greatest documents ever set down by an exile in wartime. A rich historical and artistic document.
Great to know about all the material you mention Gloria! I had no idea Laughton did a New Testament record with Eisler! Amazing. I will look for it.
I'm grateful for these documentaries (and would buy a dvd of the Berlau one in the drop of a hat!) but it's annoying when they only excerpt things.
As for the 8mm film of the play, Berlau indicates it came about like this: she was told to document the play by Brecht who fled the US by that time, so she began taking the photographs. Laughton was annoyed by the constant 'clicking' of her camera and Brecht found the photographs too 'incomplete' as a report on the play...so... Berlau (a true soldier in all this!) snuck an 8mm camera in against Laughton's wishes. She does indicate that she filmed the entire play...But for sound, I don't know.
A (complete) book on GALILEO is a great idea. The play was the coming together of so many well known, brilliant people: Brecht, Laughton, Joseph Losey (who directed the play and went on to become a great film director), Norman Lloyd (who produced the play in Los Angeles, was a great Hollywood actor for Hitchcock, etc), and many more less well known actors who were just as brilliant (according to most accounts).
all the best,
- Gloria said...
Andy, thanks so much for the book details! They are already on my "to get" list (after that they will queue in ly "to read" list, LOL). So far my readings on the subject are the Play itself. James K. Lyon "Bertolt Brecht in America", Plus his "Building a role" on Galileo. (incidentally: it seems that before tackling Galileo, Laughton and Brecht had been considering "Schwejck in the second World War": mouth-watering, ain't it?)
Ah yes, what a grand idea for a book: the play accompanied by the photos, along a story of how the play came to be, and half a dozen related articles/essays. Hmm... if I were a filthy rich instead of a crummy pauper I'd put my money on it: not that printing is that expensive (and one can always resort to a limited edition), but because of getting the rights to use the pictures etc... (and of course, if I were stinkin' rich I'd also buy the rights for "The Night of the Hunter" and make the Special DVD edition myself: it would have two dozen disks at least).
I recall the bit of "Galileo" film in the German documentary as being silent (being an 8 mm fiml is very likely it was shot without sound). As for the "click-click"; I must say that Laughton was keen on silence for concentrating. Jean Renoir told that Laughton would visit him at his Hollwood home to read him Shakespeare, and he was worried as he had a couple of noisy dogs which would interrupt poor Charles on critical moments. And of course there's possibly the self-consciousness about being shot, too.
I'll send you the full reference about the Laughton Eisler record I have: it is a two-side 45 rpm disc (the printed info states: "With musical background directed by Eisler"). It probably wa sreleased earlier in 78 rpm format.
In case you might be curious about other Laughton-Eisler pieces of work, there was a recent re-release by Deustche Gramophon on Christmas stories by Dickens (with laughton and Ronald Colman): It seems that you can hear sound samples at its amazon page.
P.S. not entirely off topic: I went to BBC archives not long ago ago to check some information about Charles work in radio, and, among the many letters, it seems that the probability of recording "Puntila" in the fifties was considered, if eventually it didn't materialize ... sigh (This was in 1956)

I thought long and hard about it and I've come to the conclusion:
Laughton would've made a horrible Schwejk (Peter Lorre was Brecht's other collaborator in that unrealized project) but had he directed the film version, it would've been enormous! I'm thinking of the deranged aspects of NIGHT OF THE HUNTER transposed to the crubmling Austro-Hungarian, the feeling for Depression era kids to the maids and scavengers of Schwejk, of the virulence of Robert Mitchum's Preacher transposed to the sanctimonious and tortuous Generals, the dry horror of the prison/hangmen in NIGHT OF THE HUNTER to the psychiatric wards of Schwejk. It's almost terrifying to imagine.
- Gloria said...
Andy, I see your point. Laughton is known for "larger-than-life" parts, and maybe the Bohemian wise-fool seems in quite another chord... I'd still let Charles give Schwejk a try, as he would play "little men" quite Well asin "If I Had A Million" or "This Land Is Mine", and don't forget he worked on the part of Emperor Claudius, an intelligent man who maskeraded as an idiot to save his skin.
Though I think Lorre is agood call for the character, too ;D
As for your suggestion of Laughton directing Schwejk... well, It is terrific!! ... Aaah, If one had only a time -travel machine and a few bucketfuls of Dollars to finance it!
P.S.: Re the recordings I mentioned to you, let me know if you have located any, or if I could lend you a hand in finding them.

One of the most popular home ownership myths in Ridgeland, SC is that owning a house is a huge tax break as compared to renting. I don't know how many times people have personally told me that they want to buy a home because they NEED a tax deduction! I just shake my head in disbelief because I have done the math.
If your mortgage interest and other qualifying expenses such as charity contributions aren't more than the standard deduction, ($11,600 for joint filers in 2011), there is no tax advantage to owning a home as opposed to renting an apartment in Ridgeland, SC. Assume that you buy a $200,000 house with a 5% down payment at a 6% interest rate. Your mortgage interest for the year would be $11,336. The Standard Deduction for joint filers is $11,600.
In this example, there is NO TAX BENEFIT. Even when there is a tax benefit, you most likely paid much more money to maintain the house than you are saving in taxes. If your mortgage interest is more than the standard deduction and you choose to itemize, there is little to no advantage.
For example, assume that your mortgage interest in 2011 is $15,000. You would get to deduct an additional $3400 if you itemize BUT you spent $15,000 in mortgage interest to save $850 on your taxes (assuming 25% tax bracket).
Don't forget that you would also have all of the other expenses of home ownership that you would not have incurred when renting an apartment in Ridgeland in an HHHunt community.

Indian Drugmaker Seeks To Make, Sell Generic Version Of Pfizer's HIV Drug
The Indian drugmaker Natco Pharma "said Wednesday it has informed Pfizer Inc. that it wants to make and sell a low-cost generic version of the U.S. company's [drug] maraviroc for treating the HIV infection under a so-called 'compulsory license' [CL]," Dow Jones Newswires/Smart Money reports. "Natco Pharma's move is significant because, if successful, the Indian generic drug maker will set a precedent for other Indian companies to override multinational drug makers' patents for the treatments of diseases ranging from cancer to hypertension," according to the new service.
The company "wants to sell its generic version of maraviroc in India at INR15,000 [330 USD] for a month's supply, compared with the INR65,000 [$1,431] price tag for Pfizer's branded version, a spokesman for the Indian drug maker told Dow Jones Newswires," the news service writes. "Natco Pharma could get permission to make and sell a low-cost copy of maraviroc in India under a 'compulsory license' for the remaining term of the patent if it can be established that the patented product isn't available to the public in the country at an affordable price," according to the article. "Indian patent laws allow applications for the grant of a 'compulsory license' three years from the date a patent has been given. According to an Economic Times newspaper report ... Pfizer got the patent for maraviroc in January 2007," Dow Jones Newswires/Smart Money writes (Ahmed, 1/5).
"The fate of the case this year and the government's response could shake up foreign drugmakers' ability to sell high priced patented products in India [where] ... an estimated 2.3 million people [are] living with HIV," the Economic Times reports. "'Proposals to promote the use of CL could inhibit technological development in the sector in India and thereby undermine efforts to make medicines and other products widely available to patients,' Tapan Ray, director general of [the] Organisation of Pharmaceutical Producers of India, had said in its response to a government's discussion note regarding the use of CL in last September," according to the newspaper.
The Economic Times reports that "Pfizer has time till May to reply, as Indian patent law allows an innovator company to respond within six months of receiving a notice for voluntary license," which in this case was delivered by Natco to Pfizer in November (Singh, 1/5).
"The multinational drug industry relies on the protection of intellectual property for innovation to fund the high cost of research, but India's patent office and courts have been less inclined to defend patents on a number of occasions, contending that prices have to be kept low so the country's vast, and mostly poor, population can afford medicines," Dow Jones Newswires/Smart Money continues. The article notes how multinational drug makers have responded to India's patent laws and includes quotes by Ranjit Kapadia, vice president of institutional research at HDFC Securities (1/5).This is part of the KHN Morning Briefing, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

Rochester Institute of Technology professor David Messinger was invited to join the editorial board for Optical Engineering, the journal of the International Society for Optics and Photonics, or SPIE, which publishes peer-reviewed papers reporting on research and development in optical science and engineering.
Messinger is the director of the Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Laboratory at RIT's Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science. He will serve as an associate editor for Optical Engineering in the area of spectral and polarimetric imaging. His duties will include assigning reviewers for scientific papers and evaluating submissions based on "significance, relevance and expected reader interest" to maintain the publication's standards.
"It is always an honor to have people in your field respect your judgment," Messinger says. "Associate editors help to shape the content of the journal and I look forward to contributing to the outstanding reputation of Optical Engineering."
The invitation to join the Optical Engineering editorial board speaks to Messinger's reputation in the remote-sensing field. His highly regarded research investigates physical and geophysical processes and properties through analysis of remotely sensed data.
Messinger also applies hyperspectral imaging techniques to search and detect specific objects hidden within large images. The image-processing methods he and his students are developing use techniques from computational graph theory and applied mathematics.

About Elevenses Crossword
The distinctive black and white grid of a crossword is instantly recognised all over the world, so it seems surprising that the puzzle actually has such a short history. In fact the first crosswords only appeared in England during the 19th century. America can claim the first published crossword puzzle, created by journalist Arthur Wynne, for the New York World in 1913.
The appeal of those first crosswords spread quickly, and within a decade the puzzles were featured in almost all American newspapers. Publications in Europe and the rest of the world were quick to adopt the trend, making the crossword the most prolific and popular style of world puzzle on the planet. It is estimated that today, over 40 million people solve a daily crossword in the US alone!
In recent times, modern computer software has heralded major advances in crossword development, allowing anyone with the right program to construct a puzzle, themed to their own specifications.
Dedicated fans have not been shy in expressing their love for the crossword. Songs written include 'Cross Word Puzzle Blues' and 'Since Ma's Gone Crazy over Crossword Puzzles'. Movies, paintings, books and similar creative pursuits have all been inspired by the art of the crossword.
Tournaments and other competitions have sprung up around the world. In London, the inaugural Times Crossword Championship took place in 1970, attracting 20 000 entries. In America, the first Annual American Crossword Puzzle Tournament took place in 1978 in Stamford, Connecticut. The film Wordplay (2006) documents this competition, focusing on a fascinating group of elite contestants. It also introduces Will Shortz, the infamous Puzzles Editor for The New York Times, and the only person in history to hold a college degree in enigmatology (the study of puzzles).
In 1982, Robert Turcot of Quebec, Canada created the largest crossword ever constructed. It featured 12,489 clues across and 13,125 down with 82,951 squares to complete on the grid.
Scientific studies have recently shown that the focused mental activity used to solve puzzles can help prevent memory loss and degenerative brain disorders such as Alzheimer's – another reason to get your daily dose of puzzling fun!
The crosswords featured on YouPlay are presented by Lovatts Publications, leaders in the puzzle industry for over 25 years. Known and loved for the care put into every puzzle by dedicated, specialist compilers, Lovatts crosswords provide hours of quality entertainment.

After 72 hours of the referendum's results the army is going to announce its long awaited constitutional declaration hopefully tonight !! We do not know when but the AFC has already issued a statement that has been aired from short while ago on TV and radio saying that the council will issue a constitutional declaration. That declaration will include the amended constitutional articles which were approved in the referendum. I am not sure but I heard that
As far as I know Dr. Tarek El-Bishry and other legal experts have already prepared two constitutional declarations based on the results of the referendum from several days ago so I am amazed that we have to wait all that time !!?
Another question : Why to announce the constitutional declaration on the same day the announcement of the protests draft law and parties draft law !!?

Cheesy Stuffing
Start to finish: 45 minutes (15 minutes active)
Servings: 10
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
2 medium carrots, diced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

8 ounces shredded Monterey jack cheese
Salt and ground black pepper
1 large loaf (about 18 to 20 ounces) stale bread (such as challah), torn into pieces and lightly toasted

If what happened in Vegas this past weekend of April 22nd to the 24th actually stayed in Vegas, then keeping it secret would be a shame. The annual gathering of BMW M fanatics for MFest, this year titled, "The Ultimatum," was bigger and badder than ever. Participants flew in from places as far as Brazil, the UK, Germany and France. On the caravan up, they broke their own record for consecutive BMWs with over 245 cars lined up. It was a veritable orgy of burnt rubber and cooked brakes as cars were flogged on Las Vegas Motor Speedway's drag strip and road course. And the show cars represented an ecclectic variety of tuning and modifications, with superchargers, turbos and engine swaps everywhere you turned.
If you missed it this year, visit www.mfestforum.com to find out when next year's event will be held.

MACON, Ga. (Oct. 18, 2012) – The Atlantic Sun Conference released its 2012 preseason women's basketball polls and all-conference honors Thursday afternoon, and the Lady Bucs were tied for fourth with Jacksonville by the coaches and fifth by the media. Meanwhile, junior Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) was selected to the preseason All-Atlantic Sun Team.
Mitchell is the Lady Bucs top returning scorer and rebounder and finished ninth in the A-Sun with 12.2 points per game and second with 8.9 boards per game last year. She earned her second-straight Second-Team All-Atlantic Sun honor last March. Mitchell is on pace to become the 21st Lady Bucs to join the 1,000 point club as she scored 367 points last year and 347 as a freshman.
Stetson's Victoria McGowan was voted Preseason Player of the Year, while Florida Gulf Coast's Brittany Kennedy garnered Preseason Defensive Player of the Year. Stetson led the all-conference team with three selections, followed by FGCU with two. Jacksonville, Kennesaw State, Mercer, and USC Upstate all had one player on the list.
In the polls, Stetson was picked first in the coaches poll and FGCU was tabbed first in the media poll. The Hatters received eight first-place votes (98 points) by the coaches, while FGCU grabbed two first-place votes (89 points). North Florida earned 68 points for third-place as ETSU and Jacksonville received 64 points apiece for a tie for fourth. Meanwhile, in the media poll, FGCU received 14 first-place votes (181 points) and the Hatters grabbed five first-place votes (175 points) for second-place. Kennesaw State was selected third with 127 points while coaches picked the Owls sixth. North Florida earned 107 votes, good for fourth as ETSU and Jacksonville grabbed 103 votes for the fifth spot.
The Lady Bucs open the 2012-13 season with an exhibition game against Carson-Newman on Saturday, Nov. 3. Tip is set for 1:30 p.m. inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletics Center.

Not sure, but I must say that I have had a great year. I am loving the last week, soaked up lots of time with the husband-o, hope to soak up a little more too. ;)
I need to get thinking about NEW YEARS resolutions.
I need to post pics of thanksgiving and Christmas.
I need to print out my JANUARY SUBWAY art.
I thought why go to the photo lab twice, so I'll need to print February's SUBWAY art as well.
Oh, and if you didn't print March's SUBWAY art out from last year do that too. (Get March art link through my post here.)
January 26th is my birthday... so for me, I included "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" in my subway art. If you have a birthday in January feel free to use this version.

First and foremost, I would like to both express my sympathy and empathy to those folks whose homes were violated and robbed. I know from first hand the feeling. In 1976, we were robbed. Clarksburg really didn't have a Police Department; we had a constable and deputy. They did the best they could. But my Father did not go down to the Selectmen and blame them. Things happen. And society is changing.
The Clarksburg Police Department has been working on these cases tirelessly, and I know Chief Mike [Willliams] has been putting in 16 hour days. Thank God he's on salary. I know he has been in contact with the district attorney, the Massachusetts State Police Crime Unit, the Berkshire County

CLARKSBURG, Mass. — A Pittsfield man arrested in Lenox last week is connected to at least two recent break-ins in town, say police.
Stefan Veremko, 28, was arrested after being spotted running from a Lenox building with a pillow case full of loot, said police. Veremko may be responsible for a rash of break-ins reaching from Southern Vermont to South County.

BEAUFORT-- As a convenience to patients preparing for surgery, Beaufort Memorial has consolidated all preoperative testing and classes into one location in the Beaufort Medical Plaza, located on the hospital's main campus at 989 Ribaut Road.
In the newly remodeled space on the second floor of the medical plaza, outpatient lab work, EKGs, and neurologic testing are in the same suite - Suite 200 - along with the offices of the Surgical Liaison nurse to ensure all pre-testing is coordinated. The classroom for Total Joint classes will also be held in that area.
"We are so glad to have all of this together for the convenience of our patients," says Pat Foulger, RN, VP for Quality Services. "In the past, they have had to find parking and go from one department to another to get all of their pre-op work done. Now, it's in a nice setting outside the hospital; parking is more convenient, as well."
The offices are open from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information, call (843) 522-5118 or (843) 522-5954.

Heaven, I'm in heaven... Fred Astaire sang it. Driving through the vineyards of the Côte de Beaune this weekend under mottled skies, I felt it. This curious emotion that comes from being in places that evoke taste memories on your tongue. Oh! Puligny-Montrachet! Minerally, heart-breakingly taut 2004 J.-M. Boillot. Oh, Volnay. 2002 Pascal & Reyane Bouley Volnay 1er Cru "Champans," beating soft and lush like a heart. One feels surrounded and swept up.
And then, of course, being there gives ample opportunity for tasting the local goods. We found an interesting little producer in Santenay whose white 2002 Santenay 1er Cru "Passe-Temps" was a rich whirlwind of precision (shh, it does so make sense). We drank 2001 Denis Thomas Nuits-Saint-Georges, which was perfectly pinot-y, with fruit and tannin braiding into deliciousness. We had a super young, vibrant 2006 Tollot-Beau Chorey-lès-Beaune with searingly open fruit.
So, we didn't drink any Leflaive Montrachet. But then, did you really think I had?

A small producer we stumbled into (I don't usually like doing that, but I was overridden, darn it) called Mestre Père & Fils. Some average bottles, some interesting ones. Liked that 2002 Santenay 1er Cru "Passe-Temps" best.

Shopping center space to house aircraft mechanics facility
Students who want to be airplane mechanics will be welding, sand-blasting and riveting in their own large facility by January.
Located in a donated section of The Plaza shopping center in Lynchburg, the future aeronautics mechanical labs will be housed in approximately 20,000 square feet of vacant space that was formerly a Roses department store.
"This is where they'll be training aircraft mechanics," said Charles Spence, LU's director of planning and new construction. "We're right now in the design phases, but very shortly it will go under construction."
The facility will include shop-style classrooms to accommodate all types of mechanical work, as well as office space for the program.
The aircraft mechanic program is part of LU's new School of Aeronautics, the tenth school to be authorized at Liberty. In addition to its aviation program, the school also hopes to train air traffic controllers and aeronautical engineers.

After contracting 75 basic trainer aircraft from Pilatus in 2012, the Indian Ministry of Defence wants to buy
24th Apr 2014
After contracting 75 basic trainer aircraft from Pilatus in 2012, the Indian Ministry of Defence wants to buy an additional 106 that would be license-built by a domestic company.
But domestic defence firms find the proposal uneconomical, and state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL) is pushing its own homegrown basic trainer, though the Indian Air Force has already rejected it.
The request for information, described by the defence industry as the first of its kind, asks selected domestic companies if they would participate in the proposed $1.2 billion program to build 106 Pilatus PC-7 Mark-II trainers under license from the Swiss company in the "Buy and Make (Indian)" category, which restricts contracts to domestic defence companies and requires that at least half of the components and subsystems come from domestic sources.
Domestic companies, in turn, find the "Buy and Make (Indian )" program for Pilatus uneconomical because of the limited order. A chosen domestic company and the Swiss original equipment manufacturer would produce the trainer. However, no domestic partner has so far confirmed talking to Pilatus on the program.
An executive of Tata Group, which received the request for information, said that under the tender's terms all interested Indian companies will have to first talk to Pilatus and then calculate their cost. Pilatus would be the main beneficiary under the Indian program, leaving little profit for the domestic firms, the official said.
HAL is also developing a homegrown trainer and is trying to block the proposed Pilatus program, a Defence Ministry source said.
A HAL official said the basic trainer it is developing, the HTT-40, would be more advanced than the PC-7 as it will have weapon-firing capabilities and other advancements. The HTT-40 is expected to fly by 2015, he added.
The Pilatus Buy and Make proposal may never take off because of domestic companies' lack of interest and HAL's push for its own program, the MoD source said.
Last year, the Air Force proposed that HAL license-produce the Pilatus aircraft but HAL rejected the proposal, saying it was working on its own project, a senior Air Force official said.
The Air Force informed the MoD last year that it did not favor HAL's homegrown trainer and asked MoD to buy additional trainers quickly.
HAL and the Air Force came to a dispute when the former Air Force chief, Air Chief Marshal N.A.K. Browne, asked Defence Minister A.K. Antony to drop HAL's plans to produce its own basic trainer and instead purchase additional Pilatus trainers.
Browne wrote to Antony, saying HAL should focus on its delayed aircraft projects, especially the Intermediate Jet Trainer, and forget about building a basic trainer.
The Swiss-made trainer would be cheaper than the HTT-40, and HAL has poor reliability in terms of delivery shedules, Browne said.
The Air Force has a requirement for 181 basic trainer aircraft. The request for information says the trainers must include requisite tools, testers, ground-based training systems, full-motion simulators, and avionics and spare parts.

Chennai , Nov 19: Tamil actor Vijay's action-thriller Thuppakki managed to collect a whopping Rs.10.01 crore within the first three days of its release in Tamil Nadu.
"The film collected approximately Rs.10.01 crore from Tamil Nadu in the first three days. This is one of the best openings for a Tamil film released this year.
Thuppakki is doing extraordinary business in other parts of the country too," Trinath, trade analyst told IANS.
"The numbers from other parts of the country and overseas are yet to come in," he added.
Thuppakki, which released on November 13 worldwide in over 1,000 screens, is about a captain from the Indian Army, played by Vijay, who comes to Mumbai on a vacation, but gets himself involved in a terrorist scheme, which is bigger than anticipated.
Kajal Agarwal, Satyan, Mano Bala, Vidyut Jamwal and Jayaram have played key roles in the film, which is directed by A.R. Murugadoss, and has music by Harris Jeyaraj.
Meanwhile, the Telugu dubbed version of the film titled Thupaki faced release problems on the opening day in Andhra Pradesh.
"The Telugu version of the film couldn't be released in most theatres in Andhra Pradesh because of some misunderstanding between the distributors and theatre owners, but all that got resolved very soon.
The film has done equally good business in Andhra Pradesh too," added Trinath.

(3BL Media/Justmeans) – Thanks to years of research, the links between smoking and cancer are now very clear. It is widely accepted that smoking is, by far, the biggest preventable cause of cancer. Chemicals in cigarette smoke enter our blood stream and can affect the entire body.
(3BL Media/Justmeans) – Globally, for the last 50 years we have known that people who smoke cigarettes are more likely to develop and die from certain diseases than people who don't smoke. In America alone, more than 20 million people have died because of smoking since 1964. However, 2.5 million were also nonsmokers who died, because they inhaled secondhand smoke, which is air polluted by other people's cigarette smoke.
A new book, Keystone and Beyond by New York Times reporter John H. Cushman Jr., attempts to put the Keystone pipeline project in a historical context. The book, which was published by Inside Climate News, a Pulitzer Prize-winning organization, is subtitled: Tar Sands and the National Interest in the Era of Climate Change.
In it, the author argues that Keystone XL is a relic of Bush-era energy policy and that the energy landscape has changed sufficiently in the intervening years to warrant reconsideration. At that time, the question of cutting back oil imports was prominent, while the president was noncommittal on the subject of climate change. Since then, Â oil imports have fallen from a peak contribution of just over 60% of supply in 2005, to 45.6% in 2011. It is expected to fall to 28% this year.
Tar sands as an energy source, have several disadvantages over conventional oil stemming from their unique characteristics. While the supply might be abundant, the challenges of extracting and transporting it are considerable, particularly in light of climate disruption. There was a time when this hydrocarbon source was considered ânot economically recoverableâ because it has to be heated in order to get it to flow. The net energy return on investment, per barrel, is roughly half of that realized from conventional oil production. But as oil prices have risen, the economics have become more palatable.
Ten years ago George W. Bush signed an executive order expediting cross border pipelines. Two years later, in 2006, Bushâs Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman toured the Canadian tar sands and concluded that, âno single thing can do more to help us reach that goal than realizing the potential of the oil sands of Alberta."
Cushman, who worked at the Timesâ Washington Bureau for 27 years, said that when he looked at the mountain of expert documents pertaining to the pipeline, âI saw before me a mountain of contradictory analysis and heard a cacophony of firmly voiced assertions from all sides.â
The book, rather than taking a comprehensive look at the issue, chooses instead, to look at it primarily as a decision required by a leader in a historical context.
In the authorâs words,â The Keystone story has been told by many others, from various vantage points. Our telling, while informed by theirs, omits many facets of the debate. It does not examine important environmental issues in Canada, such as the tailings ponds associated with bitumen production, or the possible health effects of water pollution and toxic deposition. It does not reflect the intense concern over pipelines among Native Americans and First Nations. It does not give full attention to all the individuals and organizations that have engaged in the fight over this pipeline or paint a full picture of the hazards of oil pipeline spills, or the feasibility and safety of moving oil by rail. What I have done, however, is try to "think in time," as Neustadt and May [authors of Thinking in Time: The Uses of History for Decision Makers] recommended, using the past to illuminate a decision.
Cigarettes are a multi-billion-dollar business that kills people and the planet. Lawmakers and socially responsible investors are taking a stand

Religious Freedom
I read with interest Mr. DiGiuro's article on religious freedom in the April 23rd edition. He dealt with an extremely relevant topic, but left out some important aspects inherent in a well-rounded view of this topic. If Oldham Countians are to maintain their religious freedom, they must keep in mind a few of the issues our Founding Fathers understood when they penned the First Amendment.
Chamber petition postcards
As you know the Oldham County Chamber of Commerce initiated a drive seeking enough signatures to request that Oldham County Fiscal Court facilitate a special election on alcohol sales in Oldham County.
A reader expressed concern about the information that is requested on the postcard petition, and I hope this letter helps to explain the procedure.
The Board of Elections, the County Clerk and the Alcohol Beverage Control administration requires that this process adhere to a number of conditions. Some of them are:
Chance's Chance
In your paper you have had a couple of articles on Chance, the husky. I am the lucky person who got the incredible opportunity of bringing him into his new forever home. He is a remarkable dog and is doing great. If you did not know his story, you would never know that he is blind. As I write this letter, he is asleep at my feet.
Identity theft
The recent mailing from the Oldham Chamber & Economic Development was a petition postcard to be printed and signed complete with birth date and Social Security number.
This (these) cards could either be mailed or deposited in an Oldham County Library.
Considering the current problems with identity theft, one thing we should absolutely never do is to put such private information in a public location.
From the text on the card, this mailing apparently went to every registered voter in Oldham County.
Chance's Second Chance
Chance, the blind husky featured in the Era's March 19 issue, went to his forever home on Friday. He was adopted by Ken Roberson of Shively.
Too much tax
When we first moved to La Grange almost six years ago, I stopped by Kroger's to buy a six-pack of beer to share with the movers after they had finished moving all the furniture into our new home. I was surprised to find not only did they not sell beer, but no one else in La Grange did either. Wow. What kind of a place did we move to?
Snow plows
I received an email regarding vehicles parked in the streets making it difficult for the road crews to plow the snow. I wish cars could be ticketed because in my neighborhood people constantly park on both sides of the street, making it difficult to even drive in between the cars, much less get a snow plow through! It's one thing to have an occasional visitor park on the edge of the street, but residents should keep their cars in their driveways. How about a little write up in the paper?
— Pat Giles, La Grange
I would like to take a moment to thank some very generous hearts that have continually volunteered and gathered donations to assist in meeting the needs of those that are in crisis. Sumpatheo Services is a crisis intervention ministry — small — but reaching out in a big way for over six years to meet the challenges of those in crisis.
Supporting RTW
Last week, the Oldham County Fiscal Court started the process of passing a local Right to Work law for Oldham County. Like many county governments across the state, Oldham County is working to stand out among its peers and create opportunities that bring new jobs and new business to our community.
This Right to Work ordinance is not a policy against unions. It does not eliminate or limit union representation. Most importantly, it does NOT keep union companies from considering Oldham County as a site for new business.

The 2011 Ultimate Adventure marks Chris Durham's fifth UA and one of just many wheeling adventures that he's participated in. With a long and successful history in competitive rockcrawling, Chris now spends most of his time at his Motorsports shop in Pickens, South Carolina. His ability to set up ring-and-pinions in a parking lot, rebuild practically anything, and spot great line choices makes him a huge asset to the UA. While he is notorious for piloting no-lift Wranglers and making them do seemingly impossible things, this year he crafted a Jeep of a different kind. Though still mostly TJ, the few Willys parts along with the handcrafted bed made this low-slung Jeep a truly unique rig that made some of the toughest obstacles appear easy.

This was a staple last year for us. I might get crucified for this, but for this sandwich, I actually use paper-thin beef that's meant for carpaccio. It's a bit expensive, but it's perfectly thin, very lean and just perfect for this quick meal. Really, you just have to show it the pan, et voila! It's done. The only problem is potentially overcooking it. In the States, I probably wouldn't use carpaccio, but instead shaved beef from the deli counter, very thin slices of steak, or even leftover pot roast.
A French Dip
with Roast Beef, Caramelized Onions, and Melted Swiss
1 pkg beef carpaccio (about 12 large slices)
enough thinly sliced beef, steak, or roast for 2
2 medium yellow onions, sliced
1 Tbsp butter
salt and pepper
tiny pinch of sugar, optional
2/3 cup grated Emmenthal, Gruyere, Swiss or Provolone cheese
pinch dried oregano or italian seasoning
2 cups good quality beef broth
1 baguette, or other crusty roll
Caramelize the Onions:
1. Cut the onions in half and slice. Melt the tablespoon of butter over medium heat in a stainless or ceramic pot. (My Le Creuset works great.) Add the onions and cover the pot. Let cook 5-10 minutes. Check to make sure the onions are sweating, but not browning at this point.
2. Remove the lid and add the salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Turn the heat up to medium-high. Stir the onions occasionally and make sure they are not scorching, but browning nicely.
3. If you find them browning too quickly, turn down the heat and add a few tablespoons of water while you stir. This will lift up some of the brown color into the onions and cool down the pot a bit. Let the onions cook until deeply colored, another 20 minutes, or longer.
Bring the beef broth to a boil in a wide pan. Once boiling, remove half of it and divide it between 2 small cups for dipping. Set these aside. Turn down the heat on the remaining broth so that it is just at a simmer. Gently lay 3-4 slices of carpaccio in the broth at a time and leave for 5 seconds, or just until the red color has almost disappeared. Remove quickly to a plate. Repeat with the remaining carpaccio.
If using leftover cooked beef, simply reheat it in the broth before assembling the sandwich.
Pile the caramelized onions, beef and cheese on your roll or baguette. Sprinkle with dried herbs. Place the open sandwich (with cheese on top) under the broiler for several minutes to let the cheese melt. Serve with the broth on the side. Serves 2.
Slice 1 cup cucumbers and combine them with the following:
1/2 cup plain yogurt, 2 Tbsp creme fraiche or sour cream, 2 Tbsp chopped dill,
1 minced garlic clove, salt, pepper and chopped chives.
Refrigerate until cold.
