According to the preliminary reviews of this year's pear harvest, the numbers are looking good.
"The harvest really was excellent because it was very dry and growers could pick most every day," said Craig Mallon, quality control manager for Duckwall-Pooley Fruit Company.
"The quality of the fruit is excellent. The size is a bit smaller than we might expect given that it is an average year in terms of volume," said Mallon.
"The weather was perfect until the very end," said orchardist and County Commissioner Ron Rivers, who farms 200 acres in the upper valley. "This is a good, clean crop."
Rivers did note one small glitch in the harvest process this year.
"Help was tight at the start of winter pear season; around Sept. 27 in Parkdale. The lower valley was still picking so we had some overlap of about a week to 10 days. When everyone was picking, we were a little short," said Rivers. "We picked with our main crew and waited for those who arrived later."
For Anjou pears, hanging a few extra days on the tree while waiting for pickers is not particularly a big problem. For Bartletts — which have a short turn-around time — those extra days can cause losses.
"The packing houses will be over their projected estimate on Anjou and Bartlett varieties," said Rivers, concurring with Mallon that the overall volume was strong this year.
"I was surprised, though. I've seen signs on the road for pickers needed — even on some growers' places who have housing," noted Rivers. Farms that offer housing have generally been more attractive to workers. Posted "help-wanted" signs on those farms confirmed to Rivers that pickers were a bit scarcer this year.
"We should be finishing up in the next four days," said Rivers on the state of the upper Valley's last unpicked fruit. "Harvest fest is coming at a great time. We normally don't get to enjoy it — we're usually still picking pears, but I think we'll get it done."
Official reports on this year's pear harvest will be issued after press deadline on Oct. 16. See the Saturday edition for details.

Pope Francis has given a lift to two lucky kids during his general audience in St. Peter's Square.
A particularly jovial Francis hopped off his white, open-air car Wednesday to greet a group of fifth graders from Perugia who presented him with a T-shirt from their school. Seemingly joking, Francis asked if any of them wanted to take a spin through the square.
"Me! Me! Me!" they yelled.
Francis picked 11-year-olds Livio Bastianelli and Davide Maria Bianchi and the two hopped aboard.
Bastianelli told The Associated Press it was a ride of a lifetime: "I was really excited. That never happens!"
Francis' sense of humor was also on display later, as he joked that a monsignor, forced to cut short a reading because of a nagging cough, was "getting old."

hey bros.
I'm about to embarke on my first kiteboard build. I have built variaous landboards and skateboards so i am experienced in the techniques of board building.
My build will be a 142 x 43 mutant.
I'm planning on running 40mm rocker on the back half and 70mm on the front.
Anyway I have one question and its this.
I am going to put 5mm of concave into the board. on my current TT i notice the concave finished at the fins. What is the disadvantage of runing the concave all the way through to the tips?....
i can accomidate a wasting concave if essential. but its more of a pain in the arse building the press this way.
is flat tips and concave center worth the extra effort?

As anyone who's flown anywhere in the last decade or so knows, flying can be a pain in the ass. So many restrictions on what you can and can't bring, not to mention that dreary routine of removing your belt and shoes and the loaded .38 that's registered under your wife's name. Unless you're the Hornets VP for event presentation and broadcasting, in which case ...
New Orleans Hornets VP Joshua Richardson had allegedly taken the weapon on his trip to the New York area by accident after he grabbed his wife's bag containing the weapon, instead of his own.
This was Friday, and Richardson was actually on his way from Newark back to New Orleans when he was nabbed during check-in by the Transportation Security Agency. But the TSA also discovered that Richardson had already flown, without incident, from New Orleans to the Newark/New York area with the gun two days earlier. Which is kind of incredible.
He was charged with one count of criminal possession of a weapon and was expected to be released on his own recognizance.
"The investigation revealed the gun was legally registered to his wife," an airport official told The Post last night.
"He flew up from New Orleans on Wednesday and was flying back.
"He said he inadvertently took his wife's luggage with the gun stored in its inside pouch."
At least it wasn't something really dangerous, like nail clippers or one of those big bottles of contact lens solution.

Police: Pizza boxes are not license plates
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WJAR) - Cardboard and magic markers do not tend to fool police officers.
Police in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, posted a photo on Facebook of a car that had a fake license plate made with cardboard from a pizza box and magic markers.
"Charges for this creative operator include operating an uninsured and unregistered vehicle and attaching 'fake home made' plates," police said in the post.

Evangelista 'Cyborg' Santos, Pete Spratt to Headline Legacy Fighting Championship 17
Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos has a date and dance partner for his Legacy Fighting Championship debut.
The Strikeforce, Sengoku and Pride Fighting Championships veteran will square off with former UFC talent Pete Spratt at LFC 17 on Feb. 1 in San Antonio, promotion officials recently revealed to Sherdog.com. The card also includes a heavyweight clash between unbeaten Richard Odoms and former NCAA All-American wrestler Jared Rosholt, as well a lightweight showdown pitting 29-fight veteran Nick Gonzalez against onetime Bellator competitor Kevin Aguilar.
A student of the vaunted Chute Boxe Academy, Santos has lost six of his last nine outings. The 34-year-old Brazilian last competed at Strikeforce "Barnett vs. Kharitonov," where he fell to Jordan Mein via TKO in the third round. He was also submitted by then-Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz in January 2011. The former Cage Rage title challenger has finished 16 of his 18 professional victories by way of knockout or submission.
Spratt, 41, appeared twice under the LFC banner in 2011, knocking out Antonio Flores in 25 seconds before losing a five-round split verdict to Jorge Patino at LFC 8. The seven-time UFC veteran will carry a two-fight winning streak into his encounter with Spratt, most recently besting Daniel Acacio at Amazon Forest Combat 2 on March 31.

It happens. Chemistry? Condescension? Conflicting astrological signs? No respect? Someone getting on your case? Any one of these could lead to a situation where you just do not like a key person in your life. There are teachers you love, teachers you hate, and teachers you love to hate. Patients are the same way—some are respectful and some treat you like a personal servant.
It's obvious the latter don't know that the reason medical professionals wear the types of uniforms they wear is to separate the pros from the servants. That's a topic we've discussed in an earlier blog topic; the history of scrubs and uniforms as a way to distinguish the work service that we perform." Dealing with the disliked is smoother when you know you're looking like a pro in your AllHeart stylish and well-fitting uniforms and scrubs. Maintaining a degree of separation is the beginning of a separation between those you dislike- and you.
Experts offer a number of different tips and methods for dealing with people you don't like. A common thread runs through all the advice: Practice your CRAFT (Confidence, Respect, Assessment, Focus, and Task).
Confidence: Avoid becoming defensive
Always remember that wearing your uniform or scrubs is a badge of professionalism. When dealing with teacher or patient, maintaining a neutral posture is important while believing in your actions. You can maintain confidence, when you're right and even when you're wrong. Combine your confidence with a smile and avoid being defensive. Asking, "how can I do this to your satisfaction?" puts the person with whom you're dealing in a position of defining expectations. Your professional persona assists in neutrally crafting expectations that allow you to perform without consideration of the person.
Respect: You catch more bees with honey than you do with vinegar
Being polite helps lessen the aggravation of interaction. If you maintain polite standards of communications centered on the task or results rather than the person, the interaction is on a higher. Being respectful and polite about the end result helps avoid patronizing or condescending tones, both of which antagonize people. Diluting the conversation with additional people involved also lessens the interaction impact. Looking and feeling confident in the interaction keeps you as the leader in the interaction.
Assessment: The cause of the dislike
There is always the old adage, "walk a mile in her shoes." Putting yourself in the other person's place is to understand why you don't like them. What is the person doing that rubs you wrong? Of course, you won't like everyone who teaches your classes or is under your care, but empathy can ensure better interaction throughout your education and career.
Focus: The results
Your interaction with someone whom you dislike has an end purpose. Know your objective, and strive to accomplish the result to reduce personal interaction. Remaining focused helps offset the underlying personalities. With an eye on what you want to accomplish makes the people in the process more amorphous.
Task: The objective on hand
Concentrate on your tasks at hand. Keeping your attention on what has to be accomplished rather than who is involved in the process keeps your feelings under the surface. The task is less threatening and channeled to deliver or receive the information you need, again reducing the interaction. Asking questions or interacting pertinent to the task needing to be accomplished, unless you can just as easily get the necessary information some other way. Knowing the balance between seeing information to complete the task properly is important when weighed against avoiding contact.
In conclusion, we recognize that many of your days are stress-filled working with patients, colleagues, and even teachers that might be difficult. We hope as you practice these coping mechanisms, you will think of allheart.com as your online resource for the uniform of duty, protection, and at times, separation.

Colonial New York
This article originally appeared in "Colonial English Research" by Robert Charles Anderson, MA, FASG in The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy
Jurisdictional History
In the early 1620s, the Dutch West India Company built settlements at Manhattan and Albany and claimed for New Amsterdam all the territory from the Connecticut River to the Delaware River. In an attempt to enforce this claim, the Dutch built trading posts on both those rivers. In addition to towns along the Hudson River, they also established settlements on the western most end of Long Island. Most of the early settlements on Long Island, however, were made by New Englanders and were initially part of Connecticut or New Haven colonies.
In 1664 the English conquered the Dutch and took over New Amsterdam. The Dutch briefly conquered the territory again in 1673, but, within a year, New York was back in English hands, where it would stay for the remainder of the colonial period.
In 1683, New York was divided into twelve counties: Albany, Cornwall, Dukes, Dutchess, Kings, New York, Orange, Queens, Richmond, Suffolk, Ulster, and Westchester. Two of these counties, Cornwall and Dukes, were part of the possessions of the Duke of York outside the usual territory of New York. Cornwall covered a part of what would become the state of Maine and was given over to Massachusetts in 1686. Dukes County comprised Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, which were, in turn, incorporated in Massachusetts in 1692. The remaining ten original New York counties gave rise to the rest of the later New York counties.
The arrangement of probate records in New York is perhaps more complicated than in any other colony. First, during the Dutch period, probate matters might have been handled in a variety of ways. Some were recorded by notaries, such as those preserved by Salomon Lachaire as 'New York Historical Manuscripts: Dutch,' in The Register of Solomon Lachaire, Notary Public of New Amsterdam, 1661'1662.<ref>Salomon Lachaire, 'New York Historical Manuscripts: Dutch,' The Register of Solomon Lachaire, Notary Public of New Amsterdam, 1661'1662 (Baltimore, 1978).</ref> Other probate records are found in the Minutes of the Orphanmasters of New Amsterdam.<ref>Minutes of the Orphanmasters of New Amsterdam, 1655'1663 (New York, 1902); Minutes of the Orphanmasters of New Amsterdam, 1663'1668 (Baltimore, 1976).</ref> Yet other papers were recorded in the town records of the English towns within New Netherland. (For an overview of records created during the Dutch period, see Charles T. Gehring's 'Documentary Sources Relating to New Netherland,' in Colonial Dutch Studies: An Interdisciplinary Approach.)<ref>Charles T. Gehring, 'Documentary Sources Relating to New Netherland,' in Colonial Dutch Studies: An Interdisciplinary Approach, ed. Eric Nooter and Patricia U. Bonomi (New York, 1988), 33'51.</ref>
Second, in the English period, from 1664 to 1787, and especially after the formation of the original twelve counties, many probate documents were filed centrally, at the province level, as well as at the county level.
Third, abstracts of the wills and administrations in the central, province-wide collection have been published in seventeen volumes of the Collections of the New-York Historical Society, issued from 1892 to 1908. The last two volumes in this series contain corrections to the abstracts in the previous volumes; therefore, researchers should always consult the last two volumes in conjunction with the abstracts themselves. These will abstracts should then lead the researcher to the full record in the will registers, or will libers, and in some cases to the original will itself.
Fourth, at the same time, many of these probate cases also were recorded at the county level, with various degrees of survival. Abstracts of many of these have been published as well, on a county-by-county basis.
In 1991, Harry Macy Jr. published a detailed description of the pre-1787 New York probate records. His description includes a table showing the location of originals and copies of the province collection of probate papers, a listing of the records held by the early counties, and a number of recommendations for researching in these records.<ref>Harry Macy Jr., 'New York Probate Records Before 1787,' NYG&B Newsletter 2 (1991): 11'15.</ref>
Case Studies
Aline L. Garretson, 'The Gerritsen-Willemsen Family Record, and The Williamson Family of Gravesend,' New York Genealogical and Biographical Record 133 (2002): 163'76. The jumping-off point for this article is an extensive family record, covering several generations of the family in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and providing information on the migration of the family from the Low Countries to Bermuda to New Amsterdam. The author then uses a wide range of records for New Amsterdam, New York, and New Jersey. These records include town records, deeds and wills, church records, and the published records of the colony government. In particular, in using the printed version of the early wills, Garretson also takes note of later corrections of the earlier printed abstract.
Gale Ion Harris, 'The Supposed Children of Thomas Harris of Dutchess County, New York,' New York Genealogical and Biographical Record 133 (2002): 3'18. Harris examines several Harris families of Dutchess County and neighboring Ulster County, making excellent use of the wills and deeds. Given the recognized difficulty of research in these jurisdictions, Harris also relies on tax lists and Dutch Reformed church records.

Wikula » KoreanSupport
Korean language support
minimal setup for Korean inputIf you want to setup the minimal facility to read and write Korean text, without using the scripts:
as root:
apt-get install ttf-alee ttf-baekmuk apt-get install im-switch ibus-hangul ibus-qt4 ibus-gtk im-switch -s ibus
optionally, you can set up the ibus
as user, in console on X windows:
Enable starting of the daemon
Input Method -> Choose Korean and then add
Advanced -> "Share the same input method among all applications"
You need the locale ko_KR.UTF-8. No need to make it default. If you don't have it yet, add it from command as root
dpkg-reconfigure locales
The procedure of Install
(a) Write lang=ko_KR as cheatcode.
- If your aime is localization of an installed system on a HDD, there is no need to do localization in live mode. Install to HDD first, then after booting from the new syetem, do the following. If you want to set Korean localization in live-mode, you can do with the same procedure.
(b) If you use DHCP, or your WLAN setting is done automatically, you are already connected to Internet. Otherwise, set the connection to Internet first, using Ceni, etc.
(c) aptosid's iso has a lot of locale installed, so the update of package may take a while. You can reduce the install time of locale related packages with:
# dpkg-reconfigure locales
and removing locales you don't need.
(If you are setting up Korean input, please keep en_US.UTF-8 and ko_KR.UTF-8. If you chose 'None' as the default locale, Korean Input may not work. Please chose one locale for system default.
(d) execute scripts here
chosing Korean_Input to enable writing of Korean text. Some additional fonts are installed with this option, too.
after restarting X, Ibus will be activated by pressing Ctrl+Space.
- if you install to a HDD after installing Korean Language support, the packages for it are installed on the HDD, but not all config files are automatically copied. So please do (e) and/or (f) on the newly installed system after booting.
tip to use fromiso + persist
In case if you need Live-mode in Korean frequently, there is a good trick.
Prepare a USB flash memory stick bigger than 500MB.
Start the 'Install to USB' from the installer, or from menu.
As a cheatcodes option write
lang=ko_KR persist
(please read fromiso+persist∞ section in the manual)
After the installation to USB is finished, boot from this USB stick, and run Korean Language support scripts.
From next boot you have Korean enabled live-mode system.

Last time against Mercer
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 8, 2011) - Senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) produced an historic 20-point, 20-rebound effort and junior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) set a new career high with 20 points as the ETSU men's basketball team dropped Atlantic Sun Conference foe Florida Gulf Coast 84-65 inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... According to the records available to the ETSU media relations office, Smith's effort was the first time an ETSU player has eclipsed 20 points and 20 rebounds since Feb. 14, 1959, when former Buccaneer great Tom Chilton posted 35 points and 25 rebounds against Wofford. Along with Sollazzo, the Bucs got 16 points from both senior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) and junior forward Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) to pick up the win. ... Smith's 20 rebounds was a career high for the senior. ... The first half was highlighted by Smith's performance and a 13-0 run that put the Bucs up 15 points at 30-15 with five minutes left before the half. Smith finished the first 20 minutes with a double-double already in his pocket, scoring 10 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Meanwhile, Tubbs finished with a game-high 11 points in the first half thanks to a 3-of-7 effort from 3-point range. ... In the second half, FGCU got no closer than 13 points at 67-54 with just under six minutes left.

Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 31, 2011) - In a heated battle that included three technical fouls between the two squads, the ETSU men's basketball team overcame Mercer's hot 3-point shooting to take an 82-75 victory in Atlantic Sun Conference play Monday evening at the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... The Buccaneers, who improved to 16-8 overall, 11-2 in A-Sun action, got a career high 28 points and eight rebounds from senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.), while Smith's roommate and fellow senior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) netted 23 points. Meanwhile, the Bears - who were playing without two of their top scorers due to knee injuries - shot 12-of-21 (57 percent) from 3-point range to stay in it most of the way. Despite that effort, Mercer fell to 8-15, 5-7 with the loss. ... Along with Smith and Williams, senior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) returned from an injury sustained three games ago to score 13 points and collect eight boards. Mercer was led by a career high 23 points from Justin Cecil, while Mark Hall and Brian Mills contributed 12 and 10 points, respectively. ... What has become a heated series in the past continued that way at the outset on Monday, as Mercer's bench received a technical foul midway through the half and ETSU's coaching staff was warned as well. Both teams committed some physical fouls and it resulted in a back-and-forth battle. ... ETSU finally pulled back ahead and got five straight points from Smith to close out the half and lead 38-34 at the break. ... In the second half, Mercer clawed its way back into the game by yet again hitting from outside. After ETSU overcame a technical foul on junior forward Isiah Brown (Miami) and ultimately built a 55-47 lead with 12:23 left, but Mercer rallied to hit four straight 3-pointers to tie the game at 59-59. ... However, with the score 63-59 in favor of ETSU, Mercer head coach Bob Hoffman was hit with the game's third technical foul. Smith hit both free throws and ETSU connected on another shot from the charity stripe on the ensuing possession to go ahead by seven at 66-59. From there, Williams scored nine of the Bucs' next 10 points to increase the advantage to 77-65 and ETSU never looked back.
Williams eclipses 1,000; Smith moving up scoring list
While senior Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) is already a member of the 1,000-point club, fellow senior Micah Williams (Manchester) joined his roommate on the list against Kennesaw State (1/29) ... With a 3-pointer from the left wing at the 17:55 mark of the second half, Williams went over 1,000 for his career, becoming the 33rd ETSU player all-time to reach that number ... Meanwhile, Smith joined another select group by eclipsing 1,500 points for his career in the win over USC Upstate (1/25) ... Below is where both players stand in the all-time scoring list:

Smith wins his third A-Sun POTW honor this season
For the third time this season, ETSU senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) has been named the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday. ... Smith became the first A-Sun player to win the weekly honor three times in a season since Mercer's James Florence accomplished that feat during the 2008-09 campaign. Last week, Smith powered the Buccaneers to a perfect 3-0 record, eclipsing 20 points in each of those victories. ... Along the way, Smith twice set new career highs for scoring in a game, netting 27 points in the win over Kennesaw State (1/29) and then posting 28 points in the win over Mercer (1/31). In addition, Smith surpassed the 1,500-point mark in the Bucs' win over USC Upstate (1/25), as the 6-foot-6 guard scored 22 points. ... In all, Smith averaged 25.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game last week. He shot an impressive 58 percent from 3-point range, 56 percent from the field, and 91 percent at the foul line in those three wins.
Sollazzo rolling in last 14 games for ETSU
Junior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) has really found his rhythm in the last 14 games, leading the team with 4.4 assists per game, and ranking third on the team with 12.6 points per game ... He has netted double figures in 10 of those 14 games ... In those contests, Sollazzo is shooting an impressive 62-of-99 from the field for a 63 percent clip ... he is also averaging 2.7 rpg in this stretch ... The Bucs are 12-2 in this span.
Smith's 20/20 vision leads Bucs over FGCU
With his 20-point and 20-rebound effort against Florida Gulf Coast on Jan. 8, 2011, senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) made history ... According to the statistics available to the ETSU media relations office, Smith was the first Buccaneer since Feb. 14, 1959 to post a 20/20 effort ... The last was Buc great Tom Chilton, who scored 35 points and grabbed 25 rebounds in a win over Wofford during the 1959 season. ... In addition, Smith is only the third player nationally to achieve that mark this season.
Bartow gets wins No. 250 overall and 150 at ETSU; ranks among best coaches in last five years
With his team's win over Florida Gulf Coast on Jan. 8, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow picked up his 250th career victory ... He then collected his 150th win at ETSU when the Bucs downed Jacksonville on Jan. 15 ... When looking at coaches across the country, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow stands among a select group ... Of those coaches that have been at their current school for at least five years, only 24 have averaged better than 20 wins a season ... That list includes coaches such as Dayton's Brian Gregory, Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, UConn's Jim Calhoun, Florida's Billy Donovan, Michigan State's Tom Izzo, Duke's Mike Kryzewski, Louisville's Rick Pitino, Kansas' Bill Self, Maryland's Gary Williams and North Carolina's Roy Williams ... The list also includes Bartow, who is average 20.2 wins a year since 2005-06.
Bucs help bolster A-Sun to strong RPI standings
With a pair of signature wins already this season, the ETSU men's basketball team - along with other members of the Atlantic Sun Conference - is doing its part to put the league in some impressive company on the national hoops stage. ... With wins over Atlantic 10 Conference stalwart Dayton and Southeastern Conference West Division favorite Mississippi State, the Buccaneers have helped the A-Sun generate plenty of waves across the board in the national RPI rankings. As a result, one month into the 2010-11 NCAA men's basketball season, the Atlantic Sun Conference is ranked ahead of other mid-major leagues including the Southern, Ohio Valley, Big South, West Coast, Mid-American, WAC and Sun Belt. ... The A-Sun remains among the top half of the conferences in the country. CollegeRPI.com ranks the A-Sun 14th, immediately behind the Horizon, Conference USA and Missouri Valley, and ahead of the conferences mentioned above. Against the Southern, Big South, Sun Belt and Ohio Valley conferences, the A-Sun owns a 15-8 mark. ... The conference has more than held its own against the BCS conferences. With ETSU's win at Mississippi State, the conference grabbed its fifth win against the "Power-6" leagues. No conference eligible for consideration for the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 poll owns as many BCS wins as the A-Sun. The five wins represent the most for the league since 2007-08.

Shirley Temple, the greatest child star ever born, died this week. She holds a special place in my personal history because, although I wanted to be just like her, I didn�t want to look like her.
Shirley Temple, the greatest child star ever born, died this week. She holds a special place in my personal history because, although I wanted to be just like her, I didn�t want to look like her.
Let me explain.
One of my mother�s greatest disappointments in life was that her two daughters were born with stick-straight hair. You could wash my hair, put in rollers and leave them for weeks and not get so much as a tiny bend in my hair, much less curl it. Believe me, I know, because Mom tried, most famously by giving my sister and me Toni Home Permanents that left us looking like we had a bunch of those nylon bath scrunchies glued all over our heads.
No matter how much we begged to end the days of home-permanent madness, our mom ignored us. She wanted curls for her daughters and, by God, we were going to have curls. Shirley Temple curls. Even if she had to kill us � or at least us make us look like candidates for clown college � in the process.
My sister and I understood her enthrallment with Shirley. The whole world was in love with that little girl. She was an amazing talent, with her distinctive hairdo and overabundance of talent. How many 4 year olds could tap dance the way she could? Or act, or sing or generally be so cute? She was credited with single-handedly saving 20th Century Fox from going under; and at a time when food lines and job desperation were rampant around the world, she brought hope, happiness and the promise of better things. That�s a lot to put no the shoulders of a little child.
Although Shirley had grown into an adult by the time my sister and I saw her movies, we weren�t exempt from my mother�s attempts to make us look like Shirley the moppet. I suspect a lot of little girls lived through the permanent craze courtesy of Shirley�s ringlets. And although we loved watching her movies on Saturday afternoons (they alternated with Tarzan films) and knew them all by heart, we really didn�t want to have Shirley Temple hair. Just her talent and success.
If you think about it she really was amazing. Thousands of child actors have passed through the business decades after Shirley popped onto the scene. There are schools and agencies and coaches devoted to the industry of turning children into performers, and all of those children have stage mothers pushing their careers along. But no matter how much talent they have, how hard they work or how much they (or their moms) want it, no one has ever eclipsed the little girl who, in 1934, sang and danced to On the Good Ship Lollipop in a movie called Bright Eyes. What a wonderful talent she had, even if I did wish she�d keep her curls to herself.

Kansas Assessment will not be used to measure district progress.
Schools in Kansas are in a transition year, changing to new College and Career Readiness standards, that USD 382 curriculum director David Schmidt referred to numerous times at Monday's Board of Education meeting as being more rigorous.
Teachers are teaching to the new standards, but standardized assessment tests given next semester will be based on the old standards.
To ease the transition, the Board adopted the plan for implementation, but removed the 2013 Kansas Assessment results as a measurement to evaluate district progress.
"The waiver allows us time to complete the transition to the College and Career Readiness standards as adopted by the State Board of Education," Schmidt said.
In short, "being college and career ready means that an individual has the academic/cognitive preparation, technical skills, employability skills and career interest development to be successful in postsecondary institutions without remediation, and/or the attainment of a technical credential or industry recognized certification," according to information provided at the meeting.
Nationally, about 34 percent of students enrolled in public colleges or universities are enrolled in at least one remedial course, and at community colleges, 43 percent are required to take pre-college courses for which they do not receive credit, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The district plans to hold a meeting for parents in January to help them understand that the new standards are more rigorous and give them information about what assessments will look like in 2014.
Schmidt gave some previews: old standards prepared students to take multiple choice tests; the new ones will require more writing. Old assessment questions were short; new ones may include several paragraphs of text that require students to analyze the information. Math problems not only require students to get the right answer, but explain the process.
"It's good stuff, but a lot more challenging," Tony Helfrich, Liberty Middle School principal, commented.
Board member Kim Stivers, the mother of two USD 382 students, addressed administrators: "You have to evaluate the teachers in our buildings and make sure they have the skills they need to teach our children."
Her remarks were in reference to another area of transition: changing the way in which teachers are evaluated. The Kansas Association of School Boards favors changes in legislation that not only make student progress a part of teacher evaluation, but also remove evaluation as an item that must be collectively bargained with teachers.
By the 2014-2015 school year, Kansas districts must meet a set of federal requirements tied to the state's No Child Left Behind waiver granted earlier this year.
In other business:
• Superintendent Suzan Patton updated the board on advertising at Zerger Field. The district initially hired Foxwood Marketing Company to sell sponsorship ads to provide another source of revenue to pay for the artificial turf, but has now completed negotiations with Foxwood for the district to be the sole owner of remaining payments.
Patton and athletic director Curtis Nightingale are working with about 11 or 12 sponsors to finalize artwork that will be cut into the turf bordering the playing field.
• Renewed the district's property insurance policy, with a premium increase from $127,302 to $145,385. Fewer companies offer insurance for school districts, Patton said, noting losses for wind and hail coverage "across the board." She praised Jeremy Doggett and Strongs Insurance for working very hard to keep coverage competitive and within reason for the district, even as they increased coverage for more technology and new band instruments.
• Approved personnel changes, including the resignation of Brandy Riney as district payroll clerk and Lucas Wiegert as assistant football coach, the reassignment of LMS secretary Socorro Acosta to payroll, and the retirement of LMS science teacher Pat Klassen.

CRESTVIEW � Roman Donofro wasn�t perfect in his final regular-season home appearance for Crestview High School�s baseball team Tuesday night, but he was pretty good. The pitcher celebrated Senior Night with his first career no-hitter as Crestview beat Marianna 4-1.
CRESTVIEW � Roman Donofro wasn�t perfect in his final regular-season home appearance for Crestview High School�s baseball team Tuesday night, but he was pretty good.
The pitcher celebrated Senior Night with his first career no-hitter as Crestview beat Marianna 4-1.
Photo gallery>>>Crestview baseball downs Marianna.
Donofro finished the night with eight strikeouts and four walks. Marianna�s lone run came in the first inning on two Crestview errors.
Donofro was so locked in on the task at hand that he was unaware that he had thrown a no-hitter until after the game.
�I don�t know what it feels like,� he said. �It just hit me.
�I�ve had three one-hitters, and the hits all came in the seventh.�
Crestview coach Tim Gillis said he believed that Donofro�s lack of awareness about the no-hitter allowed him to play baseball without extra pressure.
�He really threw the ball well,� Gillis said. �He had a couple of pitches working for him. It was a tough battle.
�We had a couple of big hits. Dakota (Dean) had a big three-run double there that kind of (gave) us a little distance. But at the same time, it was a struggle.�
While Donofro took care of business on the mound, Dean provided the Crestview offense�s spark. Dean was 2-for-2 with a double, three runs batted in, two stolen bases and a run scored.
Dean led Crestview's first inning with a base hit up the middle. He then stole second base and third base and scored on a sacrifice fly by Corey Armstong.
Justin Rebholz, Tate Sweatt and Hunter Sullivan were on base for Crestview when Dean came to the plate in the second inning. Dean�s line drive to deep right field cleared the bases. Dean was thrown out at third base when he tried to stretch the double into a triple.
A three-run cushion was all Donofro needed as he kept Marianna batters off balance by throwing his fastball and curveball for strikes throughout the game.
The Crestview defense settled down after the first inning; it was flawless the rest of the way, as the Bulldogs reeled off their 10th consecutive win and improved to 18-4 on the season.
Dean and Rebholz led the Crestview attack with two hits each. Corey Armstrong, Austin Armstrong and Sweatt each had one hit.
Dean, who has been red hot at the plate in recent weeks, said his success is just a matter of seeing the ball well and putting the bat on it.
Dean also said he expects the momentum to continue for the Bulldgs.
�The train�s going to keep on going,� he said. �Bulldog Express, baby.�
�Softball: Crestview 3, Milton 1: Kayla Kelch was 3-for-4 and Molly Woodward was 2-for-2 with two stolen bases as the Bulldogs beat the Panthers on Tuesday.
Taylor Rolison was the winning pitcher as Crestview improved to 15-9 on the season.

The Aryans in iran and the Zcroastrian Religion.
(1) The two branches 01 the Eastern Aryan stocK, the Aryans of
India and the Aryans of Persia are very closely connected in
origin, but their subsequent divergence is all the more strongly
marked: each people follows a totally dinerent path in cultural
development and most or all in the development of their respective
i. Their original connection is shown most clearly in their
language. The earliest of the Persian sacred writings - the
Gath-a-s of the Avesta. - resemble the hymns of tne aig Veda so
closely as to appear dialects oi the same language rather than
difterent tongues. There are certain changes of sound such as
the Vedie S for Iranian h. but the syntax, the process of word
formation and even the vocabulary are extraordinarily aliKe.
2. Even more remarkable, perhaps, are the signs oi resemblance
between the religions of the two peoples, wnieh are so numerous as
to show that the two peoples must have formerly shared the same
religious oeiieis and practises. The names and iunctions of the
different gods are similar and in many cases almost identical.
Both peoples reckon the number of the gods as 55.
Thus we h8ve Persian Mithra - Indian Mitra.

Interesting! My buddy just dumped a batch that had the same problem. He has made it a few times and it has been fine. In the past all of his has be low to no head but still had the "fiz" to them. The only thing he did different with the one that wouldnt carb was use 1056 instead of wlp028. 1056 batch was seriously lacking body and carb of course. It is strange. I do know that whiskey can be carbonated so i question the whiskey being the prob. I am taking a brewing science course and will ask to see why this could be.Could you by chance give us your recipe with all the details? Also if you know your water concentrations/ppm? off the top of my head i believe there is a chemical reaction or enzyme that catalyzes carbonic acid which could cause disassociation or not dissolving but i am probably wrong. it just doesnt make since. Ill do a little research.
What sort of cleaner so you use on your equipment?

Unfortunately, what the advisory group believes would solve the problem — hiring a new park ranger — is no closer to fruition. Where the money to hire a ranger would come from is still a mystery.
It's all been part of an ongoing discussion at LJSA, which makes recommendations to the city on parks and community-related issues, about what to do concerning unpermitted and unregulated user groups at Kellogg Park.
"The community is concerned about Kellogg Park and it's on our radar screen," said San Diego police Lt. Mike Hasting at the Sept. 12 meeting. "We're working on requiring permitting for ice cream trucks, removing (improper) tents, etc. But I can't stand in front of this committee and tell you the park gates will always be closed at 10 p.m. and opened at 6 a.m. every morning. It just depends on the workload."
The issue, said LJSA chairwoman Audrey Keane, is one of fairness to the park's users who follow the permitting regulations.
"The crux of the issue is we have commercial use of the park and beaches by scuba and other non-permitted groups, while we have kayaks and surf camps that are regulated by RFP's (request for permits) and their clients pay permit fees," Keane said. "It doesn't seem fair that we have kayak and surf camps that pay fees, when there are private parties that make money and have free trade shows on the beach. That is not right."
Erin Demorest of District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner's office reported on the amount of fees that permitted surf and kayak camps pay to the city's general fund each year in order to operate.
"The amount of money collected was about $68,000 in surf-camp revenue," she said. "In fiscal year 2012, kayak companies paid about $237,000 in permit fees."
The money collected from fees, said LJSA board member Mary Coakley, "ought to pay for a park ranger." But that $237,000, Keane said, wouldn't go very far in the end.
"One park ranger isn't going to change things that are structural in nature," Keane said. "There's really not that much money being collected. It costs millions of dollars to manage this park and beach."
But, Coakley maintained, with such a small geographical area, a ranger might do the trick.
"The park is small enough that a park ranger is going to make a huge difference," she said. "Anyone who runs a business at the park and causes wear and tear there, there should be some payback for the park. Not a dime of the RFP money comes back and helps the park."
A ranger, however, "isn't going to enforce regulations that don't exist," Demorest pointed out.
Demorest suggested the LJSA request funding for a ranger from the city's Park and Recreation Department in upcoming city budget deliberations, as a way to jumpstart momentum for hiring a park ranger.
"There could be some seed money open up in the future," Demorest said. "You might try to attack it from multiple angles."
Former LJSA board member Tim Lucas, agreeing with Coakley, expressed his desire for some of the fees collected to be funneled back into the park.
"I just want to see 1 percent of (RFP) money collected from here put back into it (Kellogg Park)," Lucas said. "If 30 percent of that money stayed in the community, you could fund a ranger."
As an alternative, board member Janie Emerson suggested the LJSA take matters into its own hands.
"We could hire a private firm to go out and police the park and raise some money for it," Emerson said.
In other matters
• Joe LaCava, vice president of the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), invited the community to the next meeting of the advisory group, which makes land-use recommendations to the city, on Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 6 p.m at La Jolla Recreation Center.
"We want all La Jollans to come out and express how they'd like to see city funds on capital improvement projects, i.e. roads, storm drains, fire stations, etc. spent," he said. "The caveat is the city is still struggling financially so no new projects are likely to get funded. But we're creating a process that we will be able to take advantage of next year as the city's finances improve. It's a good opportunity for La Jollans to get together and present some ideas on what the projects and priorities should be."

• During public comment, Lucas said he felt UCSD's MESOM project, now under construction on La Jolla Shores Drive, is much more obtrusive visually than had been represented to the community previously by university planners.
"It's a shame this view has been stolen from the community," he said.
Emerson agreed.
"This is not what was presented to us," she said.
Anu Delouri of UCSD planning told the group that engineers said the project is being built exactly according to specifications relayed to the community at public meetings.
"We never said there would not be any obstruction of public views," Delouri said, adding she would be willing to arrange to have university representatives revisit the group at a later date to answer their questions about the MESOM project.
MESOM stands for Marine Ecosystem Sensing, Observation and Modeling. The new three-story building will have 12 laboratories, 56 offices and three conference rooms, and will house a new multidisciplinary program at Scripps aimed at integrating the development of physical, biological and chemical sensors — and the autonomous ocean-going platforms to support them — to conduct long-term observation of the California Current Ecosystem.
LJSA will next meet Wednesday, Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. at cottage T-29 at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Photo: A nice grocery store run with the panniers. Large items went in the panniers, letting me carry a lot lighter load than usual on my back.
Have I mentioned that I love my panniers? I take them off for recreational rides, but for running errands and going to work, the extra space is really a welcome addition.
It did sprinkle a bit today, but aside from the wind, it was really nice out while I was riding. The sprinkles and cloud cover cooled it off a bit as the evening wore on. I saw plenty of commuter bikes at the bus transfer station on my way home, enjoying the nice weather as well! This evening, after supper with my wife at the college, I zipped down to the bike shop to look at potential bikes for my wife, and to check on the status of a taco'd wheel that they were truing up for my dad's Bianchi. I found a few bikes my wife might enjoy. Some of them with 3-speed Nexus drivetrains, others with more conventional setups. We're planning on taking a few out for a spin on Saturday.
After the bike shop, I came home for a while, then went back out and got some groceries as shown above. When I asked the kid to put the large stuff in the basket without sacking it, and to put the rest in my duffel, he inquired "save a... uhmmm?" as if he was expecting me to know what gets killed to produce a plastic grocery sack. I responded with "save a landfill." It's the best I could muster up.
While I enjoy the idea of conservation and don't like wasteful things, I think sometimes I must come off as a die-hard environmentalist crusader. After all, what other valid reasons are there for using such a quaint machine for transportation?

You comming around ever so methodically.
I went to the cemetary last night, and after the planting, saw such a beautiful tree, I couln't resist walking up and giving it a hug.
I do enjoy your reviews. If there ever is a bike accessory category on jeopardy, you would get them all, including the daily double. 8>).
Keep them comming though, they are really worthwhile to many of us.

John, you crack me up.
Must... fight... urge... to... wear... lycra
Yeah, right. Mountain bike shorts (or occasionally normal shorts or heaven forbid blue jeans) and mountain bike shoes work fine on my road bike. :P

I also wonder how people categorize me; which fringe are they filing me under? Economic fringe, political fringe, health nut... but it *does*, I think help people be more comfortable with my existence. My other eccentricities were hard to categorize but now I think people say "well, she is that bicycling person" and it explains my clothes that don't match, somehow :)
