The 28-year-old co-owner and editor-in-chief of a local, online news site is one of four men who have filed their candidacy for the four Milford City Council seats up for election this spring.
Bryan Shupe, who co-founded the website Milford Live in 2010, is currently the only non-incumbent seeking a seat on council in the April 27 election.
"I feel Milford is at a very critical point in its history, where we need to decide what the next 25 years are going to look like," the 2002 Milford High School graduate said via email. "We need to have a proactive, but balanced, approach to decisions about our economy, agriculture, infrastructure and quality of life issues."
A resident of the Meadows at Shawnee neighborhood, Shupe is seeking the Ward One seat currently held by two-term incumbent Steve Johnson, who has not filed for re-election.
Johnson, who works for ILC Dover, could not be reached for comment.
Although this is Shupe's first foray as a candidate, he's no stranger to politics. After earning a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Delaware in 2007, he spent two years working for the state Republican Party as a field operator in charge of volunteer efforts in Kent and Sussex counties.
Shupe returned to Milford in 2009 and launched Milford Live with fellow city native Dave Burris in 2010.
"[We] wanted to provide a news outlet for our hometown of Milford that was rooted in traditional journalism, but used new technology to reach Milfordians," he said. "My experience in the business and non-profit worlds, and my lifelong relationship with the citizens of Milford will guide my decisions on city council."
Shupe currently serves on the board of directors for the Greater Milford Boys & Girls Club and Downtown Milford Inc, and is an active member of the city's economic development advisory panel.
The Chamber of Commerce for Greater Milford named him its Citizen of the Year in 2012 and named Milford Live its New Member of the Year in 2011.
Shupe said he would continue as editor-and-chief and co-owner of the news site if elected to council.
"A freelance writer will continue to be responsible for any official town business and will report directly to our publisher, Dave Burris," he said. "Our company has proven that we are capable of delivering unbiased, fact-driven news and we will continue to do so."
University of Delaware communications professor Ralph Begleiter, a former CNN world affairs correspondent who currently serves as director of the university's Center for Political Communication, said he sees nothing wrong with the editor of a news organization seeking public office.
"Journalists don't give up their constitutional rights, and … can run for president of the United States or any other office, the same as anyone else," he said. "It might be uncomfortable, but it's not wrong."
Begleiter said it would be up to the public to determine whether a news source owned by an elected official is biased, and if so, whether that bias even matters.
"Fox News doesn't pretend to be unbiased, and everyone knows their slogan of fair and balanced is baloney, but that bias is exactly why people like it." he said. "I think people are capable of determining whether the information they're getting is objective or valid."
If elected, Shupe said he would focus on promoting the city's ongoing downtown revitalization efforts, creating more recreational opportunities on the Mispillion River and partnering with institutions of higher learning to develop continuing education programs in the Milford area.
"Historically, Milford has experienced the loss of many of our young leaders, as they move to other areas in search of better careers and future opportunities," he said. "We need to take a look at why our young leaders continue to leave and how we can build an environment for them to sustain a happy, successful life here."'
Other candidates who have filed to run for a two-year term on city council include incumbents Dirk Gleysteen in Ward Two, Douglas Morrow in Ward Three and James Starling in Ward Four.
The deadline for candidates to file is 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 26.
Two city council seats represent each of Milford's four wards with one of the two seats in each ward up for election every year.
Only voters listed on Milford's voter registration logs are eligible to cast ballots in the city's election.
Registrations can be filed at Milford City Hall, 201 S. Walnut St., between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, through 4:30 p.m. March 28.
To register, applicants must present verification of identity and residence or proof that they own property in town and/or the relevant ward.
Milford allows non-resident property owners to cast ballots in municipal elections.
Anyone planning to vote by absentee ballot should call the city clerk's office at (302) 424-3712 to obtain an affidavit.

The Legislative Session has begun.
Week One – January 18
The Legislative Session has begun. Legislators were sworn in on January 14th and the next morning commenced a swarm of activity. This year, unlike previous year, there will be no slack time at the beginning of the session. Things began happening on Day One; bills that had been prepared prior to the session were ready to make their way through the system. This is gearing up to be a very exciting year and I am honored to be a part of it.
Several bills have been referred to committee and bills will be coming to the floor sooner rather than later. On Tuesday, during his State of the State address, we heard from the governor his priorities for the session. His agenda is ambitious, proposing major reform, such as amending the constitution to change the way that judges are selected. The legislature is also faced with the school finance decision that the Shawnee County court handed down last Friday. There can be no doubt now that the session ahead will be a challenging one.
Tax Policy
Last session, the largest tax cut in state history was signed into law. The bill dropped the top rate from 6.45% to 4.9% and the low rate from 3.5% to 3.0%. Until last session, Kansas had the highest tax rates of any of its surrounding states which led to a decade of lost jobs. Now, the tide is beginning to turn with Kansas seeing 1,500 more business filings in 2012 than in 2011, and surrounding states, such as Nebraska, scrambling to lower rates to remain competitive with Kansas.
On Tuesday, the governor called on the legislature to cut income taxes further so as to glide to zero state income tax. In committee this week, the governor's office proposed dropping the bottom bracket to 2.5% in 2014 and then to 1.9% in 2016. Dropping the top rate from 4.9% to 3.5% in 2017 was also proposed. Rather than expanding government, the governor has asked that any revenue that comes in above 4% during this time be used to buy down the tax liability of Kansans. The plan would leave the current sales tax rate in place and eliminate the state home mortgage deduction (there would be no effect on the federal home mortgage deduction.)
The House is committed to continued efforts to encourage economic growth through reduction of the tax burden. The results from last year's tax plan are already beginning to show that such growth can be achieved by leaving more money in the private sector. In light of reducing overall rates, the value of deductions, such as the home mortgage deduction, drop significantly. If the rate of taxation on Kansans continues to drop, deductions will not be as desired as they were when rates were high.
On Wednesday, the governor's budget was presented in the House Appropriations Committee. The governor is proposing a 2 year budget rather than a normal one year budget. By submitting a two year budget, the governor is encouraging the 2013 legislature to address the budget challenges for both FY14 and FY 15. The budget protects Base State Aid Per Pupil, leaving it at its current level of $3,838, and will protect essential services for Kansans in need, and fully funds T-Works. Perhaps, most importantly, the budget would leave the state with the constitutionally mandated 7.5% ending balance.
In the past two years the House has worked alongside the governor to return fiscal discipline to Kansas. Over that two-year period the state has gone from having $876.05 in the bank and facing a projected $500 million shortfall to last year having a $500 million ending balance. The House looks forward to continued work with the governor to make the state government more effective and efficient.
Last Friday, in the case of Gannon v. State, a Shawnee County District Court issued a ruling stating that the legislature has not provided suitable funding for public schools. The court opined that in order for public schools to be adequately funded, the Base State Aid Per Pupil (BSAPP) needs to be increased from $3,838 to $4,492 which equates to a $442 million increase in state education funding per year. It is estimated that, with the current funding formula and LOB requirements, property taxes could also rise by approximately $154 million.
It is interesting to observe that court equates "suitable" education with a quantitative dollar amount. Not only this, but while looking at dollar amounts, they only pay attention to the BSAPP amount, which is merely 30% of total school funding. According to recent information put out by Education Week, the national average Per Pupil Expenditure (PPE) is $11,665. In contrast, Kansas' PPE is more than $12,500, meaning that we spend more total per student than the national average, putting us at 16 for finance among the 50 states. However, while Kansas ranks 16th in finance, the state only ranks 39th overall with a grade of 74.4. Along the same lines, Kansas Policy Institute states that while PPE has risen 30% since 2005, only 56% of 11th grade students are reading grade-appropriate material with full comprehension. This data shows that increasing funding for education does not necessarily correlate with better student performance.
The governor, in his State of the State address, encouraged the legislature to pass a resolution amending Article 6 of the Constitution to make it clear that it is the legislature, not the courts, who will determine what constitutes "suitable provision" for funding public education. The fact that a court has taken upon itself to appropriate money is troubling as it was the intent of the founders that those closest and most accountable to the people should be the ones determining how the public money is spent. The House agrees that ambiguity in law does not best serve the interests of the citizens of Kansas and will see how things develop during the session with regards to a constitutional clarification.
Also as a part of his State of the State address, the governor challenged the legislature to increase the reading proficiency of 4th graders. In 2011, the National Assessment for Educational Progress scores showed that 29% of 4th graders in Kansas read below the "basic" level, and the National Center for Education Statistics states that 40 states are higher than Kansas on 4 th grade reading. The governor put forth a plan including a statewide retention policy for 3rd graders who are not at reading level and targeting funding for literacy prevention and intervention programs for young children. The House understands there needs to be a strong emphasis on results and these are some very positive results-based proposals.
Judicial Selection
Currently, Kansas appellate court judges are selected though a process by which a commission made up of members of the Kansas Bar Association (KBA) choose three nominees from whom the governor appoints one to fill a vacancy on the court. This is a lot of power that is placed in the hands of unelected individuals who are not responsible to the people. Four of the Commission's members are non-attorneys appointed by the Governor; four others are attorneys selected by attorneys in each of the State's four congressional districts. The Chair of the Commission is an attorney elected by attorneys in a statewide vote.
As you can see from the description, the Kansas Bar association holds a majority of the members of the commission but they are not the only members. In fact, Kansas is the only state that gives such authority to its bar association in the judicial nomination process.
During his State of the State address, the governor called on the legislature to reform the process of selecting appellate court judges to a more democratic model. He asked that a resolution be passed amending the constitution to this effect. The two suggestions he made in amending the constitution were to model the selection after the federal model, where the governor appoints and Senate confirms, or to move to direct election. The House will work to achieve reasonable reform of the current model so that the process is accountable to Kansans.
Kansas currently has two agencies that deal with Kansas highways: the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) and the Kansas Turnpike Authority (KTA.) During the last two sessions, the House has worked with the governor to streamline government and to reduce its size. Currently, having two highway departments nets a minimum of $14 million in duplicated services. An example for the unnecessary duplication of services is in the Emporia area where KDOT and KTA have sheds on both sides of the street.
The governor used his State of the State address to urge the legislature to merge KTA with KDOT. He expects this to allow for greater efficiencies to be made and to help in reducing the size of state government. Such a merger would also bring greater accountability to the agencies with the power now exercised by the KTA Board being returned to their elected representatives.
The House will closely examine this proposal for reducing the size of government and making it more responsible to the people.
Second Amendment Issues
There are several bills being submitted regarding gun issues. These will draw a lot of public attention given the recent school shooting in Connecticut. We will also see bills on modifying (for the betterment) the Conceal and Carry Bill which was passed several years ago. Kansas will be modeling some of the gun bills after those of Wyoming and Texas.
Tenth Amendment
While legislators at the National level sit idly by letting Obama run roughshod over the Constitution, Kansans are stepping forwarding and demanding we enforce our Tenth Amendment rights which says "The Powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people".
The Governor has set important goals for the legislature and it will be up to us to refine them.
If you have thoughts on any issue which comes before the legislature this year, please do not hesitate to call me. The best legislation involves a collaborative effort between representatives
and the people. If there is anything I can help you with, please contact me at 785-296-7653 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

non-sport cards and card collecting.
(part 3)
Inserts - special randomly-inserted cards which are not part of the regular set. Many modern inserts are sequentially-numbered and rarer than the card sets into which they are inserted.
O-Pee-Chee / OPC - a subsidiary of Topps, this card issue was produced specifically for distribution in Canada.
Promotional Card - generally referred to as cards issued to show what the product will look like on release and intended to help spur future sales. Often called a "promo" card.
Reprint - cards issued to reproduce the originals. With the current trend of vintage reprints, the new versions have a distinguishing characteristic evidenced by numbering.
Restored - a card or piece of memorabilia which someone has tried to return to a "like-new" condition. A restored card is considered to be of very little value.
Rookie Card - any league-licensed, widely distributed card to feature a player in his first year of trading cards.
Series - a group of cards within an issue deliberately split up by the manufacturer to distribute at different times of the year. (i.e.- vintage 1st series cards 1-100 were released in April and 2nd series cards 101-200 were released in July, etc.).
Short Print (SP) - a card printed to a lesser quantity than other cards in a set. Many recent short prints are also individually & serially-numbered.
1974 Topps StampsTopps released this 240 stamp issue in 1974. These 1 by 1 1/2 stamp are unnumbered and feature a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored oval at the bottom of the stamp. Very similar to their 1969 Topps Stamps issue, the 1974 Topps Stamps were issued in panels of 12 stamps. Alomg with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 stamp albums, one per team, to store the stamps. Due to double prints and different combinations of stamps on panels there are actually 24 different 12-Stamp panels. The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue and were sold in packs containing one 12-Stamp panel along with one stamp album.
The 1974 Topps Stamps set is packed with SuperStars including over 23 members of the Baseball Hall-of-Fame with greats such as Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell, Tom Seaver and plenty more !!! The set even contains seldom seen ROOKIES of Dave Winfield and Dave Parker.

Stop Whining about Netflix
When Netflix announced their new pricing plans this week, it was as if they'd kicked a baby. Twitter, Facebook, and even the desolate Google+ ignited as thousands cried out in horror: "How dare you raise your prices!" "I'm cancelling my subscription!" and the terseless "Netflix is making their service more "convenient" by charging me $5 more a month. Thanks a lot."
That last one looks familiar. I think I wrote that. On my Facebook.
On one hand, there was jubilation. Those who'd never used streaming rejoiced in no longer having to pay for it. On the other hand, those of us who regularly partake of both saw dramatic price increases.
Insane! Mine went up 8,000%!!!1!1!!!! Check my math. It was $17.99 now it's $22.98. That's cause for apoplexy, right?
As fast as their fingers could type, bloggers latched on like tweens to Twilight. The skill it takes to create a web post consisting merely of what other people have written was matched in its creative vacuousness only by the typical anility of the larger media outlets. If you've written a article quoting bloggers quoting their Facebook friends, quit your job.
Soon everyone was talking about how "evil" Netflix was to do such a thing. How could they do this "to me." Sorry? What now? Every corporation is going to do everything it can to make more profit, largely at your and everyone else's expense. If you don't think that, you have a breed of optimism worth medicating or emulating, I'm not sure which.
But enough. Because let's get down to it, it's not that Netflix "deserves" to raise their rates, or some other apologist nonsense. It's not even how horribly they bungled this obvious customer relations nightmare (and they bungled it with almost adorable enthusiasm, like a puppy sprinting into a storm door).
It's about this: Netflix is still a great deal.
I'm not an idiot (debatable), so of course I don't like paying more for what I'm already getting. But when it comes down to it, I feel I'm getting $23 a month of entertainment, easily. I watch Netflix content at least as much as U-verse, and I'm paying $100 a month for that. Movies at the Arclight are $16 if you go while normal people are working. That breaks down to $8 an hour of entertainment. How many hours do you watch Netflix? I, for one, watch way more than 3 hours a month.
Then there are plenty of quiet greenhorns who've never used streaming and are happy to not pay for it (serious though, you're missing out, but whatever). They're likely paying less than they were before.
Let me be clear, Netflix did a big thing badly, and came out the other side looking like a bunch of dicks. But even for those of us that got screwed the worst, is it really that big of an issue? Is it worth spending even 140 characters on, wasting the eyeball time of hapless Twitterers (though admittedly, I've spent 2,886 so far). I understand some people saw their rates go up by staggering percentages... on paper. But really, we're just talking about a few dollars a month. It sucks, but come on people.
In the end, Netflix has a ton of entertainment available, and the discs-by-mail concept is still brilliant. I'd rather pay $18, but $23 is fine. Let's save our collective ire for something that really matters, like how they keep dropping TV shows from streaming when I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAMN SERIES.
Seriously, Netflix, I hate you. Here's my $23.

Ionia County Sobriety Court, Drug Court to share $50K state grant to help clients stay sober
Two specialty courts in Ionia County are sharing a $50,000 grant to help the people they oversee maintain sobriety.
A Fiscal Year 2013 Collaboration Grant was awarded by the State Court Administrative Office to Sobriety Court, conducted through the 64-A District Court, and Drug Court, conducted through the 8th Circuit Court.
The funds will be used to increase alcohol and drug screening for those under the courts' jurisdiction, including screening for cross-addiction, and also to provide additional counseling, said Probation Officer and Special Courts Coordinator Ron Morseau.
"We are one of the best in the state in overall programs," Morseau said. "We've trusted clients to maintain their program. We want to tighten the ropes, and put together a more intense program, with counseling more often, drug screens more frequently and a little more intensive."
The two specialty courts will start testing for both alcohol and drugs. Alcohol testing will be done using the Ethyl Glucuronide (ETG) Alcohol Test, which measures the presence of alcohol in the body up to 80 hours after ingestion, Morseau said, in addition to the PBT (preliminary breath test) or device to test the blood alcohol level. The reason for the dual testing is "to help out with dual dependency," he added.
"If you take away opiates from opiate users, they will look at going to alcohol. Those who use alcohol may go to opiates," he said. "Cross dependency is pretty common, even with Sobriety Court. These are the things we've got to watch."
To have an effective drug court, there must be testing, said District Court and Sobriety Court Judge Raymond Voet.
"The population – addicts – are just by their nature unable to stop using without help. While they may want to stop, and be willing to stop, it's difficult," he said. "Testing keeps them honest and reinforces to them that they have to change. Staying engaged in treatment is the only way out."
The nature of the addict is to lie – to themselves and to those around them, Voet added, and testing not only pushes the addict toward treatment, it reinforces their own accountability.
"When you really remove the ability to use without being detected, they prove whether they're going to fail or fully engage in treatment. Compliance – proving they're sober and getting treatment – is a big part of the formula," said Voet.
Increased testing also protects the public by making sure people in Sobriety and Drug Court are not out in the community using, and it does so at a cost savings, because it is cheaper than jail, Voet said.
"For the price of incarcerating one or two people, we can serve dozens of people and still protect the public," he said. "This is a real bang for the taxpayer buck."
The long-term payoff the grant makes possible is helping clients maintain long-term sobriety by making sure they are progressing through the program, Morseau said.
"From what I've seen, when you talk to someone who has been picked up for drunk driving-third and -fourth, the reason is they stop doing what they are supposed to be doing," he said. "We're hoping to help them to continue to keep going, because when they withdraw from their programming, that's when they relapse. Their programming helps their head stay focused, and holds them responsible for what they are doing. With accountability, we hope that will keep them productive members of society and the community."
That programming includes doing PBTs twice a day to start, attending group and individual counseling three times a week, attending five AA meetings a week, and doing an assigned amount of community service – in addition to holding a job and working,
"The program is tough, but we want results," Morseau said. "We have a low recidivism rate – the last number I heard was under 5 percent – and a 80 to 90 percent graduation rate."
The fact that the grant will pay for a portion of the counseling at no cost to participants is a bonus, because it is such "a huge part" of the program and can be expensive, said Adrienne Bentley, case manager/program coordinator for 8th Circuit Adult Drug Court. "It's another way to save some money for the participants, and provide them with free counseling."
The grant will assist the specialty courts with sustainability and allow both to work together to implement more services to help individuals to be successful, said Bentley.
"An addiction is an addiction is an addiction, whether drugs or alcohol," she said. "We're in the same county, and we're all there for the same goal: to make the community safer and better."

Revision as of 13:03, 18 January 2008
CMI8788 driver status
New beta driver available: http://www.alsa-project.org/~clemens/alsa-driver-20080117.tar.bz2
- Fixed jack routing: Front and Surround were exchanged. (Hey, why did nobody notice this? :-)
- Internal changes.
- Yet more internal configuration hooks; no user-visible changes.
- Add more configuration hooks for card model drivers. (There should be no user-visible changes.)
- Bugfix: When sound is played to the analog front output, use the correct sample rate when copying it to the SPDIF output.
- Added a (read-only) control for the channel status bits of the SPDIF input.
- Added ALT switch for Xonar cards.
- Changed jack routing (exchanged "surround" and "back" jacks, except when in 7.1 mode).
- Made line-in exclusive.
- Renamed the "PCM" volume control to "Master".
To enable dmix and AC-3 passthrough, replace the files CMI8788.conf and aliases.conf in /usr/share/alsa/cards/.
To get an updated alsamixer that supports the 8-channel master volume control, use alsa-utils-20080114.tar.bz2.
- Controls for SPDIF output.
- Mixer controls for all analog inputs (but Line Input bypasses the analog mixer).
- SPDIF should now work.
- Playback on all other cards with AK4396 DACs should now work, too.
- The driver now initializes the AC'97 codec whose analog mixer is used to route the analog inputs to the ADC. Analog recording should work from all inputs.
- No input controls yet, all inputs (and their noise) are mixed together.
Rewritten from scratch. The driver name is now snd-oxygen (all cards except Xonar) or snd-virtuoso (Xonar).
The second most important feature, the MIDI port, now works.
(The most important feature, the colorful jack illumination on my Xonar card, is not controlled by software and has always worked.)
seems to be working on all models:
- analog playback:
- at 32, 44.1, 48, 64, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz
- 16 or 24 bits
- 2, 4, 6, 8 channels
- volume controls for all eight channels
- upmixing of stereo to rear and side channels
- analog recording
not yet implemented:
- front panel output
my TODO list
- CMI8788 driver
ca. 99.5% (see above)
- use hrtimers in the MIDI sequencer
ca. 25%
- usb-audio: allow shorter-than-1ms periods for high-speed devices (just remove the code that rounds periods to USB frames)
- usb-audio: handle MIDI write errors better
- move non-public headers out of linux/include/sound/
- PCI: annotate in-memory data structures read by bus master chips with __le/be
- implement (some?) OSS 4 API ioctls
- test (i.e., use) alsa-python
- use dev_printk?
- various subsystem send different and too many MIDI reset commands when a port is closed
- usb-audio: restructure
- OSS emulation by redirecting to user space (like FUSE, but we need ioctls and mmap)
- MIDI synth: support more sysex commands
- MIDI synth: MIDI tuning
- ymfpci: MIDI synth

With thankful yet heavy hearts, the family of Homer Ogden Moore acknowledges God�s merciful release of their loved one from his painful human bonds to his glorious heavenly reward.
His final chores are finished. The cows are milked and bedded, the crops are planted and the machinery has been put away until harvest. The work is done and the time for rest has come.
At 1 a.m. on Monday, September 17, 2012 with family at his side, he passed peacefully from this life into the next at home, on the farm his grandfather homesteaded, and where Homer was born just one month shy of ninety five years ago. He had farmed the same land his grandfather Bradley and father Chester had farmed before him for seventy six years, since his graduation from Coldwater High School in the Class of 1937.
A funeral service will be held Friday, September 21, 2012 at 11:00 AM at Dutcher Funeral Home in Coldwater with Rev. George Cecil of Cornerstone Church. Interment will follow at Evergreen Cemetery in Girard. Visitation will be held Thursday, September 20, 2012 from 2 - 4:00 and 6- 8:00 PM at Dutcher Funeral Home in Coldwater.
Homer was born October 17, 1917 to Chester C. and Bessie Buys Moore.
He was a member of Centennial Farms of Michigan since 1972, and the Branch County Historical Society. A 4-H leader for thirty seven years, a past 4-H Fair board member and director from 1946 to 1961, he continued until his death to be a supporter of the 4-H Fair in Branch County. As a young man he was renowned for his sheep shearing skills.
Homer was a member of the Branch County Farm Bureau for forty five years, and a past Farm Bureau Oil Company board member. He served on the Butler Township Board of Review for many years, was a member of the Michigan Milk Producers Association, and a member of the Girard United Methodist Church. He always had time for young people and family, and reveled in god�s beauty at the birds, the snow and the seasons. A man of compliments and not complaints, he loved everything God made. Proverbs 12:10, "A righteous man cares for his animals" was the pattern he used in his care of all God�s creatures. His was a sensitive appreciation of beauty. He loved woodworking and mechanics, and work was a pleasure to him. He was an encourager and a great listener who loved unconditionally, and saw the beauty in another rather than the blemish.
On November 11, 1943 he married Edna Eggleston with whom he had two sons, Bradley C. and Michael E. Moore. Edna preceded him in death November 2, 1962 and he found himself alone with two young sons. It is not good for man to be alone and he was honored to take Mary L. (Smith) Victor into his heart and his home. They were married October 1, 1966 and he gained a daughter, Patricia, and a third son, Wayne Victor.
In addition to his parents, Chester and Bess Moore and his first wife Edna, he was preceded in death by his only sister, Grace (Mrs. Ray) Ely.
Homer is survived by his wife Mary, sons and daughters-in-law Bradley (Cindy) Moore, Michael (Debra) Moore, Wayne (Laura) Victor and daughter Pat (Carol Higgins) Perrine.
Those who called him "Grandpa"are Holly (Jamie) McKee, Ryan Moore, Nicky (Matt) Bowling, Cassie (Knute) Erickson, Amanda (Phil) Lemieux, Dustin (Kelly) Moore, Marcie (Ben) Moore, Jolee (Jim) Kempf, Alicia (Brian) Kinsley, Shalimar (Carl) Victor and Matthew (Kate) Victor.
And those who called him Great Grandpa or "Poppa" are Brennan and Braeden McKee, Madelyn and Dalton Moore, Zane and Gage Bowling, Noah and Ella Erickson, Sophia, Hayden and Landon Lemieux, Jack and Harry Kempf, Austin and Cameron Victor.
Homer is also survived by his cousin June (Wilkinson) Tews, his nephews Lane, Graham, Creston and Benson Ely and their families.
Memorials may be directed to the Girard United Methodist Church or Branch County Fair.

Administrate Your Gentoo System
This document is not meant to become a generic Gentoo administration guide, but more to collect a few tricks specific to the usage of the distribution on a Kurobox. For a more general documentation, please refer to the official documentation, in particular:
- Part II of the Gentoo Handbook
- The excellent Gentoo security guide
- The Gentoo Samba howto, and many other specific guides.
- 1 Customize Your Environment
- 2 Keep Gentoo Up-to-date
- 3 Install Binary Packages
- 4 The power/reset buttons explained
- 5 Keep on Time
- 6 Recommended Packages
- 7 Kernel modules
Customize Your Environment
Now is a good time to set up your Linux environment. We're going to configure some global Gentoo settings so that all users will benefit. Individual users can customize their own settings using the .bashrc file in their home directory.
First off we will configure our default text editor. This will be the editor used by tools such as
vipw. To set the default editor, change the
EDITOR variable in the /etc/rc.conf file:
Gentoo defaults to
nano as the editor, this is a simpler editor than vi and should be used if you've not worked with vi/vim before.
You may also want to configure the root shell to use colour. To do this, copy everything from /etc/skel to root's home directory. When creating new users, the
useradd command will create a home directory and copy these files for you if you specify the -m option.
Finally, we'll set up a few aliases to make life easier. You can add these lines to your ~/.bashrc file and they will only apply to you. If you want these aliases to be set for all users, you can create a /etc/profile.d folder and put these settings in a file called aliases (or whatever you like) in there.
alias c=clear alias r="fc -e - " alias h="fc -l"
These aliases allow you to use
h to list recent commands and
r to repeat them (
r repeats the last,
r foo repeats the last command beginning
foo and
r nnn repeats command number
nnn from the
h output).
c clears the terminal window.
Keep Gentoo Up-to-date
One of the advantages of using the Gentoo distribution is it's package management system known as portage. You used this before when you first installed, but it's always a good idea to continue to keep your system up-to-date with the latest stable ppc packages (and non-stable ~ppc packages if you are adventurous!).
Use the following command to update your portage tree. This will synchronize the portage tree with an official Gentoo mirror, and let your system know what is the status of the latest packages. You can run this as a cron job, or manually when you've got some time.
emerge --sync
Once you've done this, you can update any packages that need to be updated. You can use the command below to do that. A description of what the switches do (from
man emerge) is listed below that.
emerge -uNDv world
--update (-u)
- Updates packages to the best version available, which may not always be the highest version number due to masking for testing and development. This will also update direct dependencies which may not be what you want. In general, use this option only in combination with the world or system target.
--newuse (-N)
- Tells emerge to include installed packages where USE flags have changed since compilation. An asterisk marks when a USE flag has changed since the package was compiled.
--deep (-D)
- When used in conjunction with --update, this flag forces emerge to consider the entire dependency tree of packages, instead of checking only the immediate dependencies of the packages. As an example, this catches updates in libraries that are not directly listed in the dependencies of a package.
--verbose (-v)
- Tell emerge to run in verbose mode. Currently this flag causes emerge to print out GNU info errors, if any, and to show the USE flags that will be used for each package when pretending.
Install Binary Packages
Project Gentoo on the Kurobox will try to provide up-to-date binary packages for some commonly used applications that take a long time to build, such as net-www/apache, dev-db/mysql, etc. Using binary packages may seem like an unusual practice for a Gentoo system, but it is actually very simple. In /etc/make.conf, declare the hosts of binaries you want to use:
Then, when you want to emerge a binary package instead of compiling from the source, use the -g switch. For example:
# emerge -g dev-db/mysql
If a suitable binary is not found, emerge will fallback to installing from the source code. If you only want to accept binary packages, use the -G switch instead of -g. Finally, if you want emerge to always try to get a binary prior to compiling without having to use the switch every time, add
getbinpkg to FEATURES in /etc/make.conf.
[TODO: pros and cons of binary packages, relation to USE flags, etc.]
--Jkk 09:29, 10 July 2006 (CDT) The last update to the PORTAGE_BINHOST was made March 6th, 2006.
Your Gentoo system has a special setup for the power (the one in front of the box) and reset (the small one on the back) buttons:
- to shut down your box, press the front button for ~6 seconds. That will do a "shutdown -h now".
- to reset your box, push the front button twice in less than 3 seconds. This will do a "shutdown -r now".
- to reset your box in EM mode (in case of troubles), press the back button for ~6 seconds.
For technical details about this feature, check the Survive without ppc_uartd page.
Keep on Time
Set Your Timezone
The first thing to do if the your Kurobox's system time is important to you is to set the timezone. This is as simple as creating a symlink to /etc/localtime from the right place. Timezone files are stored in /usr/share/zoneinfo. You will need to search around for the appropriate file to link from.
# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris /etc/localtime
Set the Hardware Clock
The hardware clock in the Kurobox may be set to Japanese time, so the system clock will be adjusted each time Gentoo boots. To fix this, set the hardware clock using /sbin/hwclock:
# /sbin/hwclock --set --date="12/31/2007 18:13:00"
Alternatively, you can edit /etc/conf.d/clock so the hardware clock is set during shutdown - this should work well when combined with a running ntp client:
# /etc/conf.d/clock CLOCK_SYSTOHC="yes"
Install NTP
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol that synchronizes the system clock with other servers. Once configured, your Kurobox will always stay perfectly on time, and can also serve as the primary time server to other machines in your network.
A net-misc/ntp binary package is available, so you can use
emerge -g. We recommend you read HOWTO NTP from the Gentoo Linux Wiki for configuration instructions.
Recommended Packages
After the initial installation, your system will be very minimalistic. Here are a few packages that are not necessary for Gentoo to function, but we recommend you install them.
Log Daemon
The original author of this article personally prefers app-admin/syslog and has made this available as a binary package. However, the author also mentions that app-admin/metalog is worth a try.
Once you've installed and configured your log daemon, remember to add it to the default runlevel:
# rc-update add syslog-ng default
To complement this, and to avoid having your /var/log growing enormously large, use app-admin/logrotate to rotate, compress, and/or mail log files to you. You should add this as a cron job.
Task Scheduler (cron daemon)
If you would like to automate scripts to run at certain times, you will need a cron daemon. We suggest you try sys-process/fcron; it can understand traditional crontabs (à la vixie-cron and friends), but adds many other useful features and does not require your Kurobox to be on twenty-four hours a day. This should also be added to the default runlevel.
/tmp Cleaner
Just like your system logs, you will want to keep your /tmp directory size under control. You can use app-admin/tmpreaper.
Kernel modules
Depending if you are using a Kuro or a Kuro/HG, the compiled kernel modules are in two different packages:
sys-kernel/modules-kurobox sys-kernel/modules-kurobox-hg
You probably want to install one of this package. I've not much looked at the old Kuro ones, but the HG ones for instance add the generic scsi driver (which i think is required for mounting usb devices), more filesystems, more NLS encodings, etc. If there are there some modules you want loaded on boot, add them to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4, and run

i love ayya khema so much. she is one of my favorite buddhist authors. i'll look into that thanks.mynameisadahn wrote:To answer the OP's question directly. Yes.
You can learn directly from the suttas. My example would be Ayya Khema. If you are interested in more explicit discussion about the jhanas then I would suggest googling her name (she was a buddhist nun, originally from germany, who passed away several years ago). As I understand, she learned jhanas from the suttas herself, before she was later told she did it correctly (or something like that). Many of her talks can be found online in audio file form. She appears to have done what you are interested in doing, so she would seem like a good source.
Personally, I really like her dhamma talks and find them very helpful. Learning about the jhanas directly may not be really emphasized by many of the posters in this forum, though, so perhaps Ayya Khema's approach is a bit different and more focused on teaching the jhanas in advance, and trying in some way to get into them, before the experiences actually happen.
To the OP, also, I would suggest that this forum -- while a great forum -- isn't going to be focused on explicitly discussing different jhanas and teachings of how to get into them. (IME). I have seen you post at least one other question about the jhanas. If you are taking a somewhat different approach and wanting to learn more explicitly about the absorptions, you may want to branch out some in your research.
This isn't disparaging anyone here. I am just answering the OP, who asked a very reasonable question, even if some people here think other approaches are better.
why do you feel this forum is not the place? all i notice is a lot of vipassana people who don't think it's necessary but other than that i've gotten some good info. what approach should i go with?

Captain's Report
Captain's Report by Christopher Hughes--
Starting with the hull, Sea-Doo has created what they believe is a hull that will provide better cornering and tracking in all riding situations. Responding to customer feedback they have focused on enhanced lean-in and how it cuts the water. In all our years of testing Sea-Doo PWCs these have traditionally been elements where Sea-Doo excels, but only testing this new hull will tell us if they have taken things up a notch.BRP tells us the T3 hull gets its name from, tight turning T hull, as the hull embodies a literal T-shape when viewed from the transom. The t-shape offers two running surfaces, a wide surface for low speed stability and a narrower surface in the middle that aids in rough water tracking and ability to lean into the turns. Also, from bow to stern there are subtle shapes and features each address a desired outcome with regard to handling. On the stern you see trim tabs. Yes, I said trim tabs. Extending past the transom they extend the running surface and act the limit bow rise and keep the RXP-X more parallel to the water's surface and they are removable so the aftermarket can offer a variety of designs for riders to customize their ride.
Huge Design Innovations
For those of us who log many hours on a PWC each year this next feature will get you thinking. In our opinion, the seat design is near-perfect, for aggressive riding. Notice how narrow the seat is where the forward part of your inner leg and knee need to grip the machine. From an ergonomic point of view, this aligns more naturally with the human body. From the center of the seat out to the sides there is a sloping angle, while the forward section rises and curves back out in the forward section. This design will allow you to use your legs and knees more effectively to "lock in" instead of your arms doing most of the work.
Handlebar Adjustments
Unlike a simple tilt handlebar, the RXP-X has three different adjustment points from the height and angle to the angle of the controls. In the above images we are looking back from the front of the machine where you can clearly see the molded handgrips, iBR (Intelligent Brake and Reverse system) control lever, and the adjustment points, and the x-factor styling Sea-Doo continues to pioneer.
Analog and Digital Readouts
The all new multifunction digital display provides information on 31 functions, including the indicator at the top-center which is your supercharger boost. To the left is the preset trim indicator and to right the fuel level. Other function reporting includes Compass, Clock, Fuel consumption meter, Time/Distance to empty, Touring / Sport mode, ECO mode, VTS preset, Top/average speed/RPM, Lap timer, F-N-R indicator, Low fuel level, Low oil level, Low oil pressure, Low voltage, Overheat, Engine temperature, Hi voltage, Check engine, Sensor check, Battery protection, Key (wrong key), L-Key / R-Key, Maintenance info, and Error codes.
Under the Water
Starting with the ride plate, there is more here than meets the eye. The plate is not only important for the performance of the ride; it also serves as the heat exchanger for the closed loop cooling system. Just forward of the ride plate is the jet pump water intake and intake grate. The mid-grate supports are angled to help pull more water in. Above the ride plate is the Jet pump nozzle. The jet pump itself is aluminum, axial flow, single stage, and has a large hub with 10-vane stator. The impellor is four-bladed, stainless steel and is connected via direct drive to the 1503 XHO Rotax 4-TEC supercharged intercooled four-stroke engine.Above the jet pump nozzle is the brake gate for the iBR system. iBR is an innovation that allows the driver to stop by actuating the iBR lever without taking hands off the handlebar. Our tests of this system on other Sea-Doo models have shown it works as advertised and significantly reduces the distance needed to stop. Other benefits of the BRP's iControl system include the tight quarter functions of the iBR system including; the ability to start in neutral for added control and the ability to shift from forward to neutral to reverse via the hand lever without ever letting go of the handlebar or having to look down for controls.
The Adjustable Sponson
Adding yet another innovation the team at Sea-Doo has design an adjustable sponson with new winglet feature. Now after-market sponsons have been available for years, but almost all of them are fixed. Having a factory installed and designed adjustable sponson offers many advantages. Now you have the ability to set up your PWC based on your specific riding styles and needs. By simply loosening the five retaining bolts, you can lower the sponson to the fully extended position or conversely, the fully retracted position, and any angular combination in between. The new winglet feature aids in high banking turns with an added surface to aid in tight turning.
By The Numbers
The RXP-X 260 has a length overall of 130.6" and a beam of 48.3" and weighs in at 812 dry. Designed for 2 riders it is powered by the 1503 XHO Rotax 4-TEC (1,494 cc) supercharged engine with an external intercooler. This is a big bore/short stroke four-stroke engine with four valves per cylinder with multi-port fuel injections. Feeding this engine is 15.9 gallon fuel tank. Although Sea-Doo recommends 91 octane gasoline; the engine has been tuned to run on 87 octane as well. As a direct drive unit, it is connected to the aluminum, axial flow, single stage, large hub ten-vane stator jet pump unit with a stainless steel impellor. In order to bring along enough gear for your day on the water, the RXP-X has almost 31 gallons of total storage.
More Features
Additional features include the Digitally Encoded Security which is a theft deterrent and will give you piece of mind when you leave your machine at the beach or marina. Another feature is the O.T.A.S or off throttle assisted steering. This provides you with additional steering control when you are not on the power maneuvering around the docks. Located on the handlebar is also your VTS of Variable Trim System which allows you to make adjustments to the angle of the jet-pump nozzle. Known for always pushing the envelope of design and technology, they have loaded the RXP-X 260 with everything but the kitchen sink. The only thing left now if for our full on test.
Standard and Optional Features
Full Warranty Information on this brand coming soon!

Open Stock Firmware LS-VL
The tool acp_commander is used. You can find the readme here: http://downloads.buffalo.nas-central.org/TOOLS/ALL_LS_KB_ARM9/ACP_COMMANDER/README .
The tool itself is here: http://downloads.nas-central.org/TOOLS/ALL_LS_KB_ARM9/ACP_COMMANDER/acp_commander.jar .
Do not use the "-o" option of the acp_commander. It will not work. Do not use "-addons" either, because it will copy incompatible software onto the box.
Is this guide working for the LS-VL only?
No, this should work for all current LS with current firmware (>= 1.36 and maybe even the ones before).
According to the firmware readme of the LS series, the following models all should work the same way:
Alternatively you can use the guide from the LS-XHL, which is more complicated.
See the last chapter for a speciality of the LS-CHL-V2.
What will be done?
We will use the "-c" feature of acp_commander. This will execute the command as user root (without a profile loaded).
We will also use the share "share" to copy some files for gaining access.
We will not use telnet but ssh for "opening".
What is necessary?
You need a private/public key pair for ssh conforming with the OpenSSH format.
You can create such a pair using Puttygen.exe on Windows. The private key will be used by Putty and the public key will be transfered to the LS and used by sshd. But be aware that the standard Puttygen export format for the public key is NOT conforming to the OpenSSH format! Use copy and paste from the result window of Puttygen instead.
On Linux you can create the keypair with ssh_keygen.
The Guide
Basic steps are:
- Generate a SSH public key (if you not already have one)
- Put the SSH public key into /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on your LS
- Enable root login in /etc/sshd_config
- Start sshd on the LS
For that you will
- Generate a SSH public key (if you not already have one)
- Create a text-file/script open-ls.txt
- Copy both your SSH public key and this script to your LS
- Run the script remote on your LS using acp_commander
- Finished :-)
Look below for a Linux/Unix script easing the next three steps.
- Put your public key in a file named authorized_keys and put the file into the share "share" (do not use a subdirectory to make this guide work).
- Put the lines below into a a file named open-ls.txt and put it in the same place.
#!/bin/bash # open-ls.txt -- This script will be executed on the LS # DIR is where we are DIR=$( cd $(dirname $0) ; pwd) # Create the directory for the ssh keys and copy the pubkey there mkdir /root/.ssh chmod 700 /root/.ssh cp $DIR/authorized_keys /root/.ssh/ chmod 600 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys # Required if 'authorized_keys' have een written on a Windows PC dos2unix /root/.ssh/authorized_keys ### Enable root login for SSH # Backup sshd_config cp -p /etc/sshd_config /etc/sshd_config.orig # Replace all "PermitRootLogin no" by "PermitRootLogin yes" sed -i '/PermitRootLogin/s/no/yes/' /etc/sshd_config chmod 600 /etc/sshd_config # Verify grep PermitRootLogin /etc/sshd_config # Last we restart the sshd. /etc/init.d/sshd.sh restart
- Run the script remote on your LS using acp_commander
- In the next command-lines please replace the $IPADDR by the IP-address of your LS. If your NAS is configured to use RAID1, you may need to change the path to the share from disk1 to array1.
- Check whether both files are there (replace "disk1" with "array1" if you are running in RAID mode!):
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t $IPADDR -ip $IPADDR -pw password -c 'ls /mnt/disk1/share/'
- Now let acp_commander execute the script on your LS
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t $IPADDR -ip $IPADDR -pw password -c 'sh -x /mnt/disk1/share/open-ls.txt'
As an alternative, here is a Unix/Linux script to ease copying the files and execute the copied script. There is no need to save it onto a file, simply copy and paste line by line into you shell, while adapting to your needs.
IPADDR=192.168.110.4 DISK=disk1 PASSWD=password ACP="java -jar acp_commander.jar -t $IPADDR -ip $IPADDR -pw $PASSWD" smbclient '\\'$IPADDR'\share' -c "put $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys authorized_keys" smbclient '\\'$IPADDR'\share' -c "put open-ls.txt open-ls.txt" smbclient '\\'$IPADDR'\share' -c "dir" $ACP -c "ls /mnt/$DISK/share/" $ACP -c "sh -x /mnt/$DISK/share/open-ls.txt" ssh root@$IPADDR
Note: If you receive the message "Server refuse our key", the possibility is high, that you made a mistake using Puttygen.exe (you used the export key feature instead of copy & paste the public key out of the display window).
To solve this, you can try to copy the key file again using the command (assuming you put the exported file "key.pub" onto the share into the directory authorized_keys):
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t 192.168.172.1 -ip 192.168.172.1 -pw password -c "ssh-keygen -i -f /mnt/disk1/share/authorized_keys/key.pub >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys"
If your NAS is configured to use RAID1, you may need to change the path to the share from disk1 to array1 for the copy and ssh-keygen commands to work correctly
An another possibility to receive "Server refuced our key" message is, if the unix scripts were not of unix format. When scripts are run using Windows PC format, the folder ".ssh" is actually created as ".ssh^M", and then the login with the key won't work.
Firmware 1.42 Specialities
If you have problems establishing a ssh connection, it could be possible that this is caused by a missing file of the PAM configuration.
By comparing 1.42 with 1.36, there is no "/etc/pam.d/sshd" anymore.
You can add this file yourself by copying this content (1:1 copy of 1.36) to the file:
auth required pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny file=/etc/ftpusers onerr=succeed #auth required pam_smb_auth.so debug #auth required pam_unix.so nullok auth required pam_unix.so #auth required pam_winbind.so debug account required pam_unix.so #account required pam_winbind.so session required pam_unix.so
Assuming that you put the content into a file named "sshd" on your share "share", you can use this command to copy the file to its final destination:
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t $IPADDR -ip $IPADDR -pw password -c 'cp /mnt/disk1/share/sshd /etc/pam.d/sshd'
The result
You can now connect as root via "ssh email@example.com".
If you are using PuTTY on a Windows PC, remember to browse for the private key file under "Connection -> SSH -> Auth -> Private key file for authentication".
Now you can do whatever you want with your LS, because it is open!
If you want to convert your data partition filesystem from XFS to ext3, look into the guide of the LS-XHL but be aware that there is a small difference explained after the link: Open Stock Firmware LS-XHL
When you did everything mentioned in the guide (which you have to do!), it is still not working due to a coding error by Buffalo.
Yes, they got it wrong again (do they have quality management, in form of code reviews, in their programming department at all?).
They coded their own shell function wrong. The comment says 3 parameters with the third parameter optional and the funtion is testing for "equal 2"??
Inside the function, they indeed use the third parameter to determine which filesystem to mount, with xfs as default. Without the possibility to pass a third parameter, the function will always mount as xfs.
So I had to patch /etc/rc.d/sysinit.d/S25start_data_array.sh line 622 within the section "${SUPPORT_RAID} = off".
Because mount_DataDisks_sub is ignoring the third parameter (that would be the filesystem), I replaced the line with:
mount -t ${USERLAND_FS} ${DEV1} /mnt/disk1
Speciality of the LS-CHL-V2
For some reasons, the LS-CHL-V2 is excluded (by Buffalo) from the boxes supporting SSH connections.
The "exclusion" is done via the sanity application and prevents us from changing the SUPPORT_SFTP variable in the file "nas_feature" (and it doesn't matter if we patch the flash environment or not).
Therefore one needs to remove the following lines from the /etc/init.d/sshd.sh:
if [ "${SUPPORT_SFTP}" = "0" ] ; then echo "Not support sftp on this model." > /dev/console exit 0 fi
And one needs to link the /etc/init.d/sshd.sh into the /etc/rc.d/extensions.d directory for automatic start at bootup (do not mess around with /etc/init.d/rcS):
ln -s /etc/init.d/sshd.sh /etc/rc.d/extensions.d/S99sshd

WISHART, TREVOR: The Vox Cycle
Performed by Electric Phoenix. This is the legendary 6-part cycle centred on the human Voice, raw, radically treated and processed. For vocal quartet, Bass and Tape; the work of 8 years. This covers an enormous amount of ground, and bears the marks of the years of its completion. By Vox 5 there is much radical processing and morphing as the whole ground becomes inherently unstable (this piece also appeared on one of our quarterlies). By Vox 6 we are in rock, dance, chaos territory, a wholly radical opposition to the story so far. And so over the top it's dizzying.

Second Class rank
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
The "designated form" has not yet been released as of 20 Nov 2018. This is quoted from https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/Implementation-Details-for-Scouts-BSA-FINAL.pdf
lesson videos showing Outdoor Skills, and First-Aid Skills plus Merit Badges, and Scout Awards links.
Troop resources include the Advancement Campout and monthly Troop Program Themes.
|Second Class rank
The advancement program for Boy Scouts is symbolized by the earning of seven badges each representing a different rank. The program is often considered to be divided into two phases.
The first phase of advancement (from Scout to First Class) is designed to teach the Scoutcraft skills, how to participate in a group, and to learn self-reliance. The Scout rank badge is awarded when the Scout demonstrates a rudimentary knowledge of the Scouting ideals and program, demonstrates basic Scoutcraft skills (knots & pocknetknife safety), and completes a youth protection and internet safety exercise with his parents. Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class have progressively harder requirements in the areas of fitness, citizenship, personal growth, tools, cooking, first aid and emergency preparedness, aquatics, hiking and navigation, nature, outdoor ethics, and Scout Spirit.
Second Class rank requirements
Camping and Outdoor Ethics
Cooking and Tools

Two Southwest Missouri bluegrass bands will perform a winter concert near Dixon Saturday night.
"Bluegrass in the Barn" is the name of the event, Brightwater Junction and Rural Routes are the names of the acts booked into The Barn, according to Barn owner Bill Johnson.
"We do a couple of these a year," Johnson said of concerts with Missouri bands as the headline acts. He stressed the concerts are family oriented in a setting with "down home feeling."
Johnson said the barn, which is on his property, 2 miles south of Dixon on Highway 28, seats 350 people. Food is offered for sale. No alcohol is allowed, and smoking is banned.
"They're pretty big in the bluegrass community," Johnson said of the two bluegrass bands scheduled to play Saturday night.
In addition to owning the barn, Johnson is also a founding member of The Baker Band, a classic country band, which plays regular shows at the barn each year.
Saturday night, the doors to the barn open at 6 and the show starts at 7. Admission fee is $20 per person.
The barn has hosted concerts by well-known country musicians Gene Watson, John Conlee and Leona Williams, as well as bluegrass star Rhonda Vincent.
"It's kind of a unique place," Johnson said.

Last week daughter Cindy had to take me to Denver for a doctor's appointment. You know folks don't trust me driving out-of-town, oh, they'll let me drive to Swink or Rocky Ford. It's driving in the "big" towns where they don't trust me (I don't trust myself).
Cindy decided we should leave a few days before my doctor's appointment. That was ok by me. The weather was nice, except for the wind blowing around. I wasn't driving so Cindy had to fight that.
We left La Junta fairly early Monday, March 18. It was around 10:30 a.m.
Traffic is outrageous once you get to Pueblo. Drivers are CRAZY (except for Cindy). Talk about road rage. Its very evident when you get out on the highways. Everyone is in such a hurry. They pass you like there's no tomorrow. Then 10 or so miles up the road — guess what -- their stuck in a line of traffic and can't move! Then there's the vehicle that passes and stays in the left lane and traffic backs up behind "him" and you're stuck. Not very thoughtful of others! When work is being done on highways and drivers are warned about slowing down, fines doubled, etc., etc. Forget that for the most part. These people are in a HURRY.
I was really sorry that it was impossible for me to see some of the license plates. There were many cars that passed us and needed to be reported. Guess I'll have to start taking a pair of binoculars when I'm on a road trip.
When we left La Junta, Cindy had decided we'd take a "short" trip to Cripple Creek. Great idea, I could lose what money I had in my purse! While we were playing the nickel machines one of the folks came by to see if we were ok, wanted something to drink, "water please." He was very nice, name was Richard and during our visit he asked where we came from, "La Junta."
Richard was a little shocked, "We have a worker who lives in La Junta." Wow! Found out his first name was Denny and where he lives. I know the house and a lot of work has been done on the residence. Another worker, Andy, told me his last name. I didn't write it down but I did say I'd go by, meet him and welcome the family to La Junta. Guess what? I haven't done that yet but plan to do so in the near future.
We left Cripple Creek early Tuesday afternoon, headed for Denver. Cindy wasn't at all happy with me. I wanted to go to a shop on Academy in Colorado Springs that sells DVDs. I'd checked in La Junta and Uptown didn't have the ones I wanted. Well, we made our way to Academy, found this huge store and a couple of the DVDs. They weren't helpful like the folks at Uptown. That's usually the way it is in the big towns.
Then we made our way to Denver to see my oncologist, Dr. Scot M. Sedlacek on Wednesday, March 20. We spent Tuesday night in Parker, couldn't find a motel close to Skyridge Hospital where the doctor has his office.
A close friend from school days in Swink was visiting her daughter, Robyn in Denver. June Nagamoto Furuta of Torrance, Calif., had called to tell me she was in Denver, was hoping to come to La Junta but wasn't going to make it. We were hoping to see each other when I went to Denver for my doctor appointment.
Cindy's cell phone started ringing before I got out of bed Wednesday and Cindy was in the shower. I couldn't find the phone, didn't have my glasses. It buzzed a little later, didn't get the call. Finally, Maxine Adcock sent Cindy a message that June was trying to reach us. (Maxine got the number from Hallie at Shear Perfection.)
We made contact with June and she met us for lunch. It was so great seeing her and just visiting about "everything." When she returns to see Robyn, June plans to come to the valley for a visit.
Doctor's appointment went very well. When you see the oncologist and he gives you a good report it's always "fantastic."
Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter and all the youngsters enjoy the egg hunt.

Dumbstruck by the Mystery
...our temptation is always to impose our prejudices or our measure on reality -- except when we are faced with a fact that leaves us dumbstruck, and instead of dominating the fact ourselves, we are dominated, overcome by it. If there were no moments of this kind, the Mystery could do anything, but in the end, we would reduce everything to the usual explanation. But not even a Nobel Prize winner can stop himself from being dumbstruck before an absolutely gratuitous gesture. If there were not these moments, we would find answers, explanations, and interpretations to avoid being struck by anything. It is good that some things happen that we cannot dominate, then we have to take them seriously, and this is the great question of philosophy. If the conditions for the possibility of knowledge (see Kant) impose themselves on reality or if there is something that is so powerfully disproportionate that it does not let itself be "grasped" by the conditions of possibility, then the horizon opens. If this were not the case, then we could dominate everything and be in peace, or at least without drama. Instead, not even the intelligence of a Nobel Prize winner could prevent him from coming face-to-face with a fact that made him dumbstruck -- instead of dominating, it was he who was dominated. Here begins the drama, because I am called to answer. It is the drama that unfolds between us and the Mystery, through certain facts, certain moments, in which the Mystery imposes itself with this evidence. These are facts that we cannot put in our pocket, which we cannot reduce to antecedent factors.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mads from I LOVED THIS DRESS! I am 15 years old and I wore this dress to my friend's sweet sixteen a couple weeks ago! The threading in the front was a nice statement, but was a little busy... Also there is threading on the bottom and you have to be careful that it doesn't show your underwear haha! But other than that, I really liked it! Even though the threading was a little distracting, people said they liked it! I got a lot of compliments! It fit perfectly! I'm 95 pounds and muscular and the dress hugged you in all the right places. It was body fitting, but wasn't too thin wear you can see the outline of your bones haha! It was a little long on me but I am 5 feet tall! I was able to scrunch it up a bit and make it so it covered my butt and nothing more haha! ANYWAY it was overall an amazing dress I would recommend it to anyone! warning though the sleeves might look weird if you arms are generally bigger. Since I am pretty muscular, I found that it didn't flatter my arms so well. I still loved the dress though! The fit made up for it!

Don't get me wrong, I'd never consider this team worthy of being called a "trap" opponent. That quote by Brady got me thinking, though, since he's usually pretty political with his pre-game comments to the media. With the Patriots being one of the pillars of the east coast football world, combined with a pretty significant lack of national coverage for the Hawks, do you think it's possible a Belichick-coached team walks in here expecting an easy win?
For anyone that hasn't seen it yet, here is the quote by Brady I'm referring to. It was in response to a question about playing in a stadium for the first time:
"There's probably not many that I haven't played at, at this point, but this will be fun. It's always nice when you take 53 guys on the road and you say, 'This is all we've got, and this is all we need, this is what we got to do,' and see 70,000 fans and keep them quiet, or turn them on their own team. That's the exciting part for road teams, to see if you can get them booing their own players."

Shop 'n Save, 175 Flower Valley Shopping Center in St. Louis, was inducted into the Missouri Lottery's Million Dollar Club, an elite group of 33 retailers, for selling more than $1 million in Lottery products last year. To celebrate the achievement, the Missouri Lottery hosted a customer appreciation event at the store on June 24.
"The real winner is public education," said May Scheve Reardon, executive director for the Missouri Lottery. "Lottery sales at this Shop 'n Save alone generated more than $299,703 for public education in calendar year 2012."
Reardon explained that the Million Dollar Club is a way to honor retail locations that are going above and beyond to raise money for a variety of programs, including A+ Scholarships, Virtual Schools, Special Education Excess Costs, Access Missouri, the Classroom Trust Fund, library acquisitions and educational scholarships.
"The customer appreciation event was meant to be a fun way to both highlight the store's success and reward their customers by holding special in-store drawings and awarding prizes," Reardon said.
Players must be 18 years or older to purchase Missouri Lottery tickets.
