Bathroom Window Treatments & Bathroom Blinds
- Moisture resistant window treatments
- Provide an adequate level of privacy
- Consider room darkening options
- Shutters are a natural fit
- Top picks are faux wood blinds, cellular shades & roller shades
While privacy is a major concern in the bathroom, blinds and shades that are able to withstand high levels of humidity are the best choice. Treatments made out of vinyl, PVC, faux wood, or thick fabric will be durable enough to stand up to the unique environment. These window treatments won't bend, warp, crack, or harvest mildew and are sure to withstand the test of time. Many bathroom shades can be configured with a top down/bottom up lift for the ultimate in flexible privacy. The slats on faux wood bathroom blinds and shutters can be tilted upwards to admit some light while still maintaining privacy.

Looking for something quick to make for dinner during the busy holiday season? Dover Post Food columnists offers up a few quick-to-fix recipes for you and yours.
During the past month I was so busy testing "gifts from your kitchen" recipes that I spent very little time worrying about what we'd be eating for dinner. I'd look up, realize that indeed it was time to prepare something nutritional to eat and panic. Since I couldn't resort to scrambled eggs or pancakes every night — and I was in "testing" mode — I begrudgingly pulled out some recipes that were described as "quick-to-fix."
I came upon the recipe for Dozen Egg Corn Casserole in Gooseberry Patch's 1996 edition of Homespun Christmas as I was looking for recipes for "gifts." I almost passed it by because this seemed like a strange combination of ingredients but I was desperate, had the necessary ingredients on hand and was happily surprised when we both agreed that this provided a tasty main dish. (This would also work for a breakfast or lunch – a very versatile recipe indeed.) I halved the recipe and used an 8-x8-inch baking dish but it did take the stated 75 minutes to cook.
On several blogs I came across a recipe titled "The Very Best Chicken". Titles like this are generally a good indication that the recipe will turn out to be a disaster. Nonetheless I was finally desperate enough to give in and try it. Another happy surprise! Spicer said, "You can make this one again!" Start to finish, you can have this tasty, moist chicken on the table in just one hour. We enjoyed the sauce that cooks with the chicken over rice.
The third recipe is for Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie and – you guessed it – this is a Bisquick recipe. I probably would not serve this to guests but we both enjoyed this and it had been years and years since I'd made this. Have you tried this one before?
Incidentally I reverted back to freshly grating the Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheeses that I use in my recipes. The "conveniently" packed already shredded cheese contains a non-caking ingredient that I prefer not to include in our diets. Use it if you are in a hurry but I urge you to search out your old hand grater (if your food processor doesn't have that attachment) and I think you'll find that you, too, prefer to grate cheese the old-fashioned way.
To contact Judi Leaming, email email@example.com.
Dozen Egg Corn Casserole
12 eggs, beaten
2 (17-ounce) cans cream-style corn
4 cups (16-ounce) sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
2 (4-ounce) cans chopped green chilies, drained
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-x13-inch baking dish and set aside. In a large bowl combine all ingredients and beat until well mixed. Pour into the prepared baking dish. (This can be made ahead, covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.) Bake in preheated oven for one hour 15 minutes. Serves 6 to 8. A fresh fruit salad makes a nice accompaniment for this.
World's Best Chicken
4 boneless chicken breasts, rinsed and patted dry
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease a two-quart baking dish. Place prepared chicken breasts into baking dish. Combine mustard, syrup and red wine vinegar and whisk to blend. Sprinkle ground pepper over the chicken. Pour half of the mustard mixture over the chicken. Turn and pour remaining mustard mixture over the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until done or meat thermometer registers 165 degrees. Serves 4.
Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie
1 pound lean ground beef
1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup original Bisquick mix
1 cup milk
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray; set aside. In a skillet cook beef and onion over medium heat for eight to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef and onion have browned. If needed, drain off any excess fat. Stir in salt. Spread into prepared pie plate and sprinkle with cheese. In a small bowl, stir remaining ingredients together with a fork or wire whisk until blended. Pour evenly over cheese and meat. Bake for 25 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Serves 4 to 6. (To turn this into a Bacon Cheeseburger Pie, use 1 1/2 cups to 2 cups cheese and sprinkle precooked and crumbled bacon over the cheese.)

Jets becoming a staple in the community
December 4, 2013
Janesville Gazette - Being able to meet someone you admire is huge. So when the Janesville Jets of the North American Hockey League (NAHL) volunteer at Riverfront, Inc., they're treated like rock stars.
"They're stars of the movie," said Sharon Fitzpatrick, volunteer and events coordinator at the local nonprofit facility that provides support and employment for adults with disabilities.
Jets hockey players willingly pose for pictures with Riverfront participants. They also chat, play games, exercise and patiently listen to them talk about their production facility jobs, she said.
What happened with one shy Riverfront participant--a huge Jets fan who rarely speaks--shocked Fitzpatrick. The young man walked up to each of the Jets players, introduced himself, then asked their names.
"It took him more than six months to say more than one word at a time, so for him to greet someone he doesn't know, brought him out, enriched his life and made a difference," Fitzpatrick said.
Volunteering became a requirement for Jets players in 2012, said Greg Hanthorn, operations manager.
Players who still are in high school must devote at least eight hours a month while those out of high school are required to donate 12 hours a month, Hanthorn said.
Many of the players, including co-captain Mike Sullivan, give back much more without hesitation.
"It's a good deed to do for the fans and other people in town, and it's a big part of getting taught life's lessons," said the 18-year-old Chicago native, who plays right wing for the North American Hockey League team.
Jets goalie and co-captain Brock Kautz, 19, of Rochester, Minn., agreed.
"We love getting out there, showing our support and giving back to the community that supports us." he said.
The team consists of 23 players who range in age from 16 to 20 and come from Sweden, Canada and throughout the United States. Together, they donated 2,200 volunteer hours to schools and nonprofits in Janesville, Clinton and Beloit during 2012.
Projects included gathering Toys for Tots, skating as waiters at different restaurants to raise funds for various causes and helping with breast cancer awareness, school reading programs, the Clinton Community Food Bank, the American Red Cross, Rock Around the Block and LaborFest.
The team's efforts won it Forward Janesville's 2013 Community Improvement Award.
Hanthorn is confident the Jets will commit to 2,500--hopefully 3,000--hours of community service this year.
"They've been given a gift with the ability to play hockey. All we ask is for them to give back to the community that supports them, and they do," he said.
Hanthorn said the players never complain or ask if they have to do something. Instead they always say yes to a project and want to know what needs to be done next.
"They realized they're blessed. So they just do it," he said.
"It's a big deal to our organization and owners to give back to this community. Our goal is to make good young men as well as good hockey players," Hanthorn said. "Being a good hockey player is one thing. Being a good human being is another thing."
Having the Jets volunteer is priceless, Fitzpatrick said.
"They were so kind and treated our participants with dignity when a lot of times, in the regular, outside world, they aren't treated that way," she said.
The interaction between the players and participants also has health benefits, including a boost in self-esteem, Fitzpatrick said.
"Some people find it difficult to work with people with disabilities," she said.
But not the Jets.
"For a lot of us it was new. But I enjoyed it," Kautz said. "I thought what we did was special. It was nice to put a smile on their faces."
The Jets also were instrumental in helping Independent Disability Services achieve its fundraising goals, said Lisa Ames, executive director.
"If I didn't have them, I'd rely more on my staff to do that volunteer work, which then would inhibit us in getting the word out about what we do," she said. "The group of young men who have been volunteers for us have been kind, hard-working, polite and respectful. We thoroughly enjoy working with them and couldn't be more thankful for their time."
Janesville Salvation Army Volunteer Coordinator Julie Cunningham also is thankful for the Jets.
"We are so lucky to have them. They have been a blessing for us and help us help the community," she said.
David Cullen said it's unfortunate people often hear only bad stories about professional and college athletes when most are involved in in a positive way in their communities. That's why as one of the owners of the local team, he knew it would be critical for the team to have a positive image.
It also is important for Cullen and other Jets owners that the players are well-rounded individuals, which also is accomplished through volunteerism, he said.
"It's part of their growth as young men and they accept it with willingness and enthusiasm without complaining," he said. "The nonprofits in this area don't exist without volunteers. They have to have them to be successful and that's the key for players doing this at a young age, to get exposed to it.
"Most of the Jets are humble and don't seek a need for recognition," Cullen said.
Instead, he said, they relish the opportunity to contribute to the community.

Comic 872: Grimm's Calculus
[Comic title: Fairy Tales; alt text: Goldilocks' discovery of Newton's method for approximation required surprisingly few changes.]
As you all know, Randy is particularly fond of correcting errors in his comics without so much as a comment noting his previous error. This extends to adding a "Zing!" to the end of alt texts which are widely seen as being unnecessarily elitist, though not, apparently, to adding Hey Jude to his shitty chart comics about Hey Jude.
I've always roundly mocked Randy for this tendency before, because it's funny, and other webcomics people who occasionally upload errors usually acknowledge them somewhere, even if it's just on their Twitter streams. But I've never felt that it was really that significant before. It's just a minor, stupid thing.
Then came today's comic.
The image above is a copy of the original comic. Reproduced below is the corrected version.
What the fuck, Randy? I mean, I know you don't bother proofreading, but do you not even fucking look at your comics before uploading them? Just a fleeting glance should have told you something was hideously wrong here. But you don't even have time to do that?
But notice that the blocking of the text is different. It almost looks like this was a deliberate stylistic decision--it's hard to imagine how he could make an error of something so colossally stupid. See how the "Dammit" moves, for instance. Was this deliberate?
Not much to say about the comic itself. No doubt in response to assertions that Megan of the Bountiful Milk is always used as an insert to be the voice of truth and perfection, here she is doing something which is moderately unreasonable, but in a way that is delightfully quirky (and, no doubt, utterly arousing to one such as Randy, Math Enthusiast).
This comic might have had merit if the joke weren't merely Randy taking random words from fairy tales and replacing them with random terms from mathematics, and then providing a narrative for why this is happening. Wasn't there a time when there was intelligence to your jokes, Randy? Not just LOLRANDOM juxtapositions that have no reason to be juxtaposed?
173 comments:
And nice crit, this time!
Exposition. He has an idea for a comic, perhaps a *good* idea this time, and the means to convey it is fucking exposition. There is, quite literally, no lazier way of explaining something. Seriously Randall, you are a poor excuse for a human being.ReplyDelete

Nah, he definitely has gone way lower than this. This is just garden-variety reference cheese. To get really bad, we need to go back to the milk.ReplyDelete
Oh yes, 858, I am talking about you.
Although 859 is pretty catastrophic too.

"This comic might have had merit if the joke weren't merely Randy taking random words from fairy tales and replacing them with random terms from mathematics, and then providing a narrative for why this is happening."ReplyDelete
Oho, so you mean a joke with some actual structure to it?
The main problem with this comic is it doesn't provide anything witty. Math terms + Fairy Tales =/= a joke.
What needs to happen is something... well, funny? I enjoyed http://xkcd.com/821/ "119 little pigs," because the notion of the little pigs building their houses out of base elements was funny! That comic could use the imagination for it's portrayal. (Not as effective as blown-out cartoon visuals)
Here, what the hell? No imagery to speak of, we're left with WORDS WORDS NUMBERS AND MORE WORDS. He wouldn't, and I doubt could, show us (n-1) dwarves, or any of his other images.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if that's meant to be an infinity sign, isn't that the standard notation for writing a limit?
- TheMesosadeMarch 14, 2011 at 12:03 AM
Wait a sec, my bad. To say "limit of x as x approaches infinity" is effectively saying "infinity."ReplyDelete
The only real purpose is if you were, I guess, deriving something and it came down to just an "x"

Do you think Randall drinks fine Scotch, or is he more of a cheap vodka sort of guy? I personally think he's the type of person who can't handle his liquor at all and passes out at the mere scent of freshly baked bread.ReplyDelete
Randy seems like the type of guy who can't tell the difference between different beverages, but avoids the cheap ones and drinks the mid-range liquor and microbrews with an interesting name.ReplyDelete
- Chiggy ChuggaMarch 14, 2011 at 12:54 AM

that's the only way i can see it coming up, but then again it would only come up on a calculus midterm, not in the "work of a mathematics professor"...
"I guess the א_ω little piggies did get a bit weird towards the end..." would have been a funnier line because א_ω does get weird towards the end in some sense (it is a singular cardinal, which is unusual).
as always, if you're going to use a word outside its context, it's only funny if it finds new, unexpected meaning. LOLRANDOM is... retarded.

- AnonymousMarch 14, 2011 at 6:34 AM
The subject of the comic is stupid. Why am I surprised?ReplyDelete
Randall relies so heavily in just dropping mathematical references to amuse his fanbase that he forgets to have them make any sense.
"Inductive White and the (n-1) dwarves": proving that the proposition is true for n-1 is the middle step of induction. It should be called "Inductive White and the n dwarves", or "Inductive White and the dwarf", since that's where it starts(usually; could be no dwarf, maybe). It makes little to no sense as the story would have to be retold to prove that... I don't even want to continue this. It makes no sense.
"lim x Little Pigs": that obviously tends to inifnity. This means the story just gets bigger and bigger and never reaches an end towards which it can get weird.
Finally: "I'm still not sure which versions are real". Um... Megan? Are you actually retarded?
I think Rob's decision to focus on the first panel blunder was wise, since otherwise this is another "LOL RANDOM MATH" comic. Ironically, it reads like Hollywood science, only dropping names with no meaning. You know, the kind of thing Randall supposedly HATES.
- AlfonsoMarch 14, 2011 at 6:55 AM
So, did Rob just lose his job or something? Because suddenly the reviews are timely and review-y.ReplyDelete
And: the alt-text proves once again that Randall has only the most basic grasp of mathematics.
So, did Rob just lose his job or something? Because suddenly the reviews are timely and review-y.ReplyDelete
I think it's a combination of Randall being decidedly awful recently and new competition from xkcd sucks reboot.
- AnonymousMarch 14, 2011 at 8:45 AM
I think it's because Rob's turned into a trigonometric function (specifically a cosine) which doens't allow him to climb up Rapunzel's hair. Which would also explain why his reviews are so up and down.ReplyDelete
Maths AND fairytales? Man, I am SO on form.

Rob, your mimicking site has once again devoured my insightful prose!ReplyDelete
I posted an attempt at XKCD apologetics, but it vanished. So here it is, where your great hungering maw cannot reach.
Bottom line: The original comic is actually true to original geek-emo XKCD standards, and the edit is him ret-conning it to match his current style and be less depressing [to him].

@Anon1237: At a quick count [not checking my records for forgotten courses] I've had 2 female math professors [Calc II and Probability I] and 6 male... but I'm a math minor, so maybe more advanced math courses have a better ratio?ReplyDelete
Although, if we're assuming the High School Audience Theory, I had 4 [grade 10/11/12] math courses with female teachers, and only 1 [grade 9] with a male teacher. GOOMH RANDALL, or something.
Re Competition: Rob is like Walmart; he is too large to worry about competition. Also this site has more viewers.
Algebra, trig, all three calculus classes (calculi?), differential equations, probability and statistics, discrete, and linear algebra all had female teachers for me. But to be fair, half of them looked like men.ReplyDelete

In high school, I had 2 female math teachers and 1 male math teacher spread out over 4 classes. In college, I had 6 males and 2 females for 11 classes (I was a math minor too).
So, I guess Randy's not really white knighting, as long as we assume that his target audience is high schoolers.

I can surely count at least 3 female Math professors during my Comp Sci graduation(the system down here doesn't work in "major" and "minor", so that's all I can say), and 5 male. I think it's a reasonable ratio.ReplyDelete

@Anon310: We know he said "professor", but since Randall's target audience seems to be Highschoolers, we're assuming by "professor" he actually meant "High school teacher".ReplyDelete
Also, if we were good at words we'd write comics like Randall, instead of bitching about his. No comics ---> not good at words [I'm whatting the antecedent?]. Seems pretty cut and dry to me, boss.
true fact: i read through the beginning of this post, couldn't tell what had been changed, and figured Rob was making some comedy out of exaggerating his anger at some incredibly minor change between the original and fixed versions of the comic.

I haven't been made so uncomfortable by an FPS since I played "No Russian" and the entirety of Homefront back to back.ReplyDelete
Actually, honestly, considering Modern Warfare 2 and Homefront, it seems like Randall might have been better off making a crack at how bathetic modern FPSes end up being. He could have done the whole "everyone you kill has a bio snippet you listen to" as an exaggerated parody of the attempted pathos devs sprinkle into their games. Instead, he seems to be making a joke that relies on people and developers trending toward less pathos and melodrama in shooters. Which, despite games like Bulletstorm, Duke Nukem Forever, and Serious Sam 3, doesn't really seem to be the case.

Also, his head is split open. Really, Randall? I could stick my arm into his brain there. This is ridiculous.

CONCERNING TIME MANAGEMENT: How long Randall spends on comics is debatable, but at least his comic updates without fail M/W/F. It could be a queue thing or whatever, but at least THAT is constant. You KNOW when you get up on Monday that there will be a stupid comic waiting to be ridiculed.ReplyDelete
Now Rob, is it too much for us to expect the same from you? Can't you ready a review by T/Th/Sa or at the least W/F/Su?
Say what you will, xkcd did suck, and does, but lately xkcdsucks is sucking worse. Heck, if you like the comic you can say so. Carl would admit it if he couldn't find something wrong (or at least say "hey this one was ok except for..."). Can't you think of ANYTHING for these past two comics?
I'm busy.ReplyDelete
but i can get you a waaaamburger and some french cries if you like when i come back
- AnonymousMarch 19, 2011 at 7:55 PM
Besides, I'm pretty sure part of why XKCD is so bad is BECAUSE Randall insists on updating M/W/F without fail, whether he has good material or not.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 20, 2011 at 1:41 AM
Rubbish. If he can't do a decent comic three days a week without fail, he needs to find another line of work.ReplyDelete
Then again, maybe I'll try that excuse. Maybe next time the foreman chews me out for a wall turning a little wonky I'll just say "but that's only because I insisted on working 50 hours a week without fail!" I'm sure he'll understand.
" Rubbish. If he can't do a decent comic three days a week without fail, he needs to find another line of work."ReplyDelete
that's what we've been saying since, like, 1992

IshowedUPafterCARLleft...serously, what the heck of a name is this?! I'll call yo Ishy.ReplyDelete
So, Ishy, I bet that if you're willing to pay monthly for Rob to post in xkcdsucks as much as Randall makes in a month, he'll gladly write funny and/or rageful reviews of xkcd in time! Heck, if you pay ME to do that, I'll take over this goddamn site in a jiff!
Moral of the story: money, dear boy.
Also, if I were you I'd give up on the waaaamburger and fries. Rob will obviously forget what he was doing with them and eat them before he comes back.

Also, this popped up in my twitter this morning. It's a graph about radiation, and I'm not sure whether it was done about now(i.e., it's hype fishing) or done long ago and unburied due to all the hype surrounding the tragic disaster in Japan.ReplyDelete
All I have to say about it now is: what the heck is that about bananas? Why is the scale so spastic?(the same sized square goes from 0.05 to 20, then suddenly 10000 and then 1000000; that's growing 400-fold, then 500-fold and finally 100-fold for no good reason) And did the smaller charts need to be so horribly tacked onto the bigger ones?
That's all for now, if anyone needs me, I'll be back in my burrow.
Actually I liked Randy's radiation chart. Thought it helped to put things in perspective. The scale changes to show the vast differences in legal doses and actual doses brought up in the media lately.ReplyDelete
Then again, I have heard that the danger of radiation is more complex than just measurement in Sv (some isotopes are apparently more deadly than others).
Also, it mentions Fukushima specifically, so it's pretty obvious that it was made recently.
- AnonymousMarch 20, 2011 at 1:16 PM
@ThePirateKing: We're talking about Randall I-Don't-Get-'Redo's Patrick Munroe, here, so I mean, he could've tacked that on...ReplyDelete
...If he hadn't been inspired by a reactor specialist who was taking time to answer questions about radioactivity recently. He did specify this on the blog, mind you, so it's not as if he plagiarized.
- AnonymousMarch 28, 2011 at 9:22 AM
Wow. I'm no mathematician, so I had to think about them, but I got every one of those jokes.ReplyDelete
XKCD is kind of like a cryptic crossword puzzle, if you're not willing to put any thought into them, there's really no point in reading the comics at all.
Oh, & the nitpicking about fixing the layout error in the first panel? - Lame as hell; it's bitching about the drawing equivalent of fixing a typo.

- Age
- Gender
- Names of parents
- Names of heirs, such as spouse, children, other relatives, or friends

How to Use the Record
To begin your search it is helpful to know the following:
- The place where the event occurred
- The approximate date the event occurred
- The name of the individual or individuals
Compare the information in the records to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct person. You may need to compare the information of more than one person to make this determination.
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family.
For example:
- Use the age to calculate the birth date.
- Use the birth date or age along with the residence or place of birth of each partner to find a couple's birth records and parents' names.
- Use the birth date or age along with the place of birth to find the family in census records.
- Use the residence and names to locate church and land records.
- Occupations listed can lead you to other types of records such as employment records or military records.
- Use the parents' birth places to find former residences and to establish a migration pattern for the family.
- The name of the officiator may be a clue to their religion or area of residence in the county.
- The name of the undertaker, mortuary, or cemetery could lead you to funeral and cemetery records which often include the names and residences of other family members.
- Compile the entries for every person who has the same surname. This is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
- Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have been born, married, or died in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.
- When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
Keep in mind:
- The information in the records is usually reliable, but depends upon the reliability of the informant.
- Earlier records may not contain as much information as more recent records.
- There is also some variation in the information given from one record to another record.
If you are unable to find the ancestors you are looking for, try the following:
- Check for variant spellings of the surnames.
- Check for an index. There are often indexes created by local genealogical and historical societies.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby counties.
For a summary of this information see the wiki article: United States, How to Use the Records Summary (FamilySearch Historical Records).
Each type of record within the county was created for a different purpose, but most were created to keep track of the vital events happening in the lives of the citizens and to safeguard their legal interests and the legal interests of their heirs.
Facts current at the time of the event are generally reliable.

I like mugs with a sense of adventure and or fun. I prefer Gods and Monsters to hula or surf images even though it's hard to pass on anything I find out there.
Mugs from Tiki locations or events are my favorites along with mugs designed or sculpted by Squid.
I admit my collection isn't the strongest but at least there are no mugs featuring Parrots in here.

Get in[edit]
By Car[edit]
The main east-west route is the Bluegrass Parkway, bringing in traffic from Elizabethtown and I-65 South, 20 miles west. It also brings in Lexington traffic from the east. The two Bardstown exits are Exit 21 (US 31E) and Exit 25 (US 150). Nelson County also has exits off the parkway at Exit 10 (KY 52) to Boston and western Nelson County and Exit 34 (KY 55) to Bloomfield and eastern Nelson County.
Two roads arrive from Louisville. KY 245 (New Shepherdsville Road until it enters the city and becomes John Rowan Boulevard) funnels traffic from Exit 112 off of I-65 in Bullitt County. Although Route 245 goes through a fairly hilly area, the road is well-engineered with modest grades and no sharp curves. The other route is US 31E-150 which comes directly from Louisville. The road is narrow and winding at spots, but does offer nice views of the Nelson and Spencer County countryside.
By Air[edit]
Samuels Field (designated BRY) is located two miles southwest of Bardstown on US 62, Boston Road. The airport has a single paved runway 5000 feet by 75 feet, designated 02/20, with a 4000-foot parallel taxiway and a connecting taxiway to the aircraft parking apron. The runway is equipped with Medium Intensity Runway Lights (MARL), Runway End Identifier Lights (REIL) and Precision Approach Path Indicators (PAPI) all radio controlled at 122.80MHz. An Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) is also available on 119,925MHz or by phone at (502)348-1867. Land facilities consist of a 1600 square foot terminal and administration building, 2000 square yards of apron, a 10 unit T-Hangar, 3 conventional storage hangars, and auto parking. There is 100LL Avgas and Jet A fuel system with a 24 hour self serve credit card system.
Louisville International Airport is located 40 miles northwest of Bardstown at the junction of I-65 and I-264. It is the closest airport with commercial passenger jet service. Airlines serving Louisville include American, Continental, Delta, Northwest, Frontier, Midwest, Southwest, United and US Airways. It is also a major shipping hub for UPS.
By Train[edit]
There is no Amtrak rail service in or near Bardstown. The closest Amtrak station is in Cincinnati, 150 miles away.

Spring cleaning usually takes place on the first warm days of the year. For those of us who live in Minnesota, that's almost always sometime in May. We wait for the town garage sales and when people decided not to buy the junk we were hoping to get rid of we throw it out.
Spring cleaning usually takes place on the first warm days of the year. For those of us who live in Minnesota, that's almost always sometime in May. We wait for the town garage sales and when people decided not to buy the junk we were hoping to get rid of we throw it out.
This year I got started a little bit earlier on Spring cleaning – February earlier. My Spring cleaning started last week when I realized I had piles of papers littering my closet to the point that I couldn't fit anything else into the space.
The more you move the less junk you are going to want to hall around, and I've been moving a lot. Every eight to twelve months for the last five years I've moved across town or across the state to someplace new, and I've taken all of my boxes of papers and books with me.
So, this Spring I'm doing something that's long overdue, I'm tossing out all of my old junk.
I'm throwing out plates I've been storing for no apparent reason, old elementary school basketball third place everybody-gets-these trophies, stuffed animals that I inherited from my parents house as they gave my brother, me and my sister the boot, boxes of old papers that have been graded and sitting in a file folder waiting for the day I'll need to reference the symbolic values of the Scarlett Letter.
Really, there were some sentimental things that I've been holding onto that are difficult to get rid of, and some things that would cost a bit of money to replace. It feels odd throwing those things out because it's a lot like tossing out a piece of yourself, or a whole hunk of cash. I'm hoping it will be worth it when I have an empty closet to fill with things that I actually want.
Clearing your home of things you don't need or want isn't a new tradition.Thoreau and the romantics believed in living with as little as possible. "Walden" is one book that will remain on my bookshelf, though I'll be cutting back my collection. I don't think I can bring myself to throw away a book, but I've already boxed up some encyclopedias and old text books (sorry, but the Internet can tell me what I need to know now Mr. encyclopedia).
The Sister's of St. Benedict also believed in getting rid of one material possession every year, though they gave it to charity and only had something like five things to begin with. I'll be making a large donation to Savers the next time I'm around one. As I've said before, I have more clothes than any one person needs. That's not to say I bought my clothes, I maybe do that once every other year. But, I get a lot of free t-shirts.
So, February might be a little early to start Spring cleaning, but I prefer to think that I am ahead of the game. While you all are cleaning out your houses and spilling your stuff in the driveway for a garage sale, I'll be basking in my clean and empty apartment – or maybe by then I'll have already filled my closet with more books, papers and stuff that I have no idea from where it came. Good luck, and happy Spring cleaning.

Posted on November 16, 2012
There are people who complain that Uncle Blogsy is a discouraging old soul. "You're always telling us that what we bring you is trash!" they have complained.
"Never," I reply. "I just tell you that the trash you bring is trash." (I hope I am always open to constructive criticism. I've just never heard any.)
My desire is to have the impact of the average sermon, in which you immediately realize what your sister-in-law always gets wrong. I certainly don't want you to construe my remarks as discouraging you from dropping off donations.
Now, the thing I want to do today is to discourage you from dropping off donations. Yeah, I know, but it's a special occasion. Tomorrow is the annual Festival of Lights Parade, and from at least noon onward, a lot of the streets around the Newberry are going to be completely blocked off as floats are constructed. I think the police will understand if you just say "I have to get these Reader's Digest Condensed Books to Uncle Blogsy!" but why take chances?
There was a time (when some of Uncle Blogsy's hair was still red) that this was a lesser problem. The Festival of Lights Parade was not much more than four blocks long: a couple of marching bands, six floats, and one or two beauty queens out freezing their batons. But corporate sponsorship suddenly appeared, and now there are balloons and singing groups and who knows what-all.
As Minnie Pearl once said, when explaining she was shocked about all the kissing goimg on behind the High School, "I don't want to STOP it! I want to get IN on it!" The Book Fair's been around longer than the Festival of Lights Parade: where are my corporate sponsors?
Oh, we had our shot at it. The Newberry begged for years to be part of the Festival of Lights. "You're, um, not on Michigan Avenue," the authorities kept telling us. We strung lights around our front door and wound garland around our columns inside, but the parade passed us by.
Mind you, one of the big dynamos behind the parade is Disney, and I can't see the Book Fair being of much interest to them, in spite of the book dealers who call it a Mickey Mouse affair. A parade is more a Disney event, and, anyhow, the Book Fair takes place in Chicago in late July, when NOBODY should be required to make an appearance dressed as one of the Seven dwarves. (Persons who just connected Uncle Blogsy with Dopey or Grumpy in their minds are hereby stricken from my Christmas card list. Consider yourself chastened.)
Book fairs are not really parade material, either. Those singers belting out show tunes would be shushed: it's a library. (For some years there was a No Bongo rule in the Reading Room; I assume it's still in force.) An elephant couldn't get up the stairs without knocking over the Umanitas statue, a baton twirler would be trampled by parents heading in to buy children's books, and that poor marching band would find that a third of the staff has musical training. "Start over!" they'd be told. "You don't slur the notes in Achy Breaky Heart!"
No, I don't suppose anyone will come along and sponsor a Festival of Books Parade or any such. I'll just have to give up that goal of being Grand Marshall. (It's not the title I want. I dream about riding on a float tossing books at the crowd. I mean TO the crowd, TO the crowd. Never mind why that stack of unabridged dictionaries is sitting there.)

The flu is widespread in the state, and Butler County has one of the highest rates of documented cases statewide, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
Between Sept. 29 and Dec. 28, there were 83 cases of influenza type A and 37 cases of influenza type B in the county. There also was a case of influenza type U, totaling 121 cases in the county.
The only counties that had higher numbers of flu cases are Allegheny County with 159 cases and Blair County with 189 cases. According to Aimee Tysarczyk of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, there are 2,180 lab confirmed cases of the flu in Pennsylvania.
But numbers will never be precisely accurate because not all flu cases are documented. Dr. A. Thomas McGill, vice president of quality and safety at Butler Memorial Hospital, said documented type B cases may not be precisely accurate either because some of those documents tests were likely false positives.
Rapid one-hour flu tests have a high false positive rate when a strain isn't widespread as is the case with influenza type B, McGill said. These rapid tests are included with the confirmed cases.

I'm not much of a cake decorator and when I look at beautifully decorated cakes and biscuits my reaction is always, "wow, that's gorgeous....but what a faff." However, when I saw these biscuits in a magazine (can't remember which one) I loved them so much I decided I had to make them. And do you know what? For something so cute, they're pretty low faff (nb. do not equate "low faff" with "speedy"!)
The biscuits are tasty - like a gingerbread without any ginger. They're not a crisp biscuit but neither are they chewy – they're somewhere in between, almost a cakey biscuit. You can't really go wrong with the subtle honey and almond flavour and the brown sugar adds an almost caramel/toffee element; they could also take a smidge of spice, should you so wish.
The hat and gloves in the original recipe were made with ready rolled icing. I'm not a fan of that – to me, it's just an irritant you have to pick off before you can start eating...but chocolate appealed to me! (in other shock news, I can report that the sun will be rising tomorrow morning).
In a rare moment of foresight, I looked up whether you can add food colouring to white chocolate and it all seems rather complex. The short answer is "no you can't"– I think liquid food colouring would make the chocolate seize i.e. go grainy and stiff, but I can't see why gel or powdered colouring would be an issue. Anyway, to eliminate any risk, I purchased specific chocolate colouring which did the job (details in the ingredients list below).
If this was the real Father Christmas then I think I've just ended his present delivering days....
Happy Christmas everybody! May your festive period be full of tasty treats and happy times with those you love.
For the biscuits:
250g clear honey – I ran out of honey so used 150g honey, 100g golden syrup
100g soft light brown sugar
150g unsalted butter
2 egg whites
500g self raising flour
100g ground almonds
To decorate:
200g white chocolate, melted
Red colourant suitable for chocolate – I bought mine from Cakes, Cookies and Crafts
1 small tube of white icing (and black icing if you're making the eyes, I used ready made eyes)
Gold ball decorations – I used Dr Oetker
Red balls or cupcake sprinkles for the nose
First make the dough: Place the honey, sugar and butter into a saucepan and melt over a gentle heat, stirring often. You will know when it's ready because the ingredients will be well combined and there won't be any sugar granules on the back of your spoon.
Pour into a bowl and leave to cool.
When cool, stir in the egg white.
Stir in the flour and ground almonds and mix to a dough. It will be a very soft dough – quite gloopy and you may think you've done something wrong....you haven't!
Divide the dough in two, and wrap each part in clingfilm. If you shape the dough like a fat disc it makes rolling out easier.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes but an hour is better.
Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan oven 170°C/375°F/gas mark 5.
Line 4 baking sheets with baking paper. If you don't have 4 baking sheets, use what you have and bake your biscuits in batches. It doesn't really matter as it turned out I needed 6 trays!
Take one of the discs of dough from the fridge and roll out between two sheets of clingfilm – this stops you needing to use any additional flour. However, if your dough still feels really soft put a fine sprinkling of flour on the clingfilm
You want the dough quite thin – remember that it contains self raising flour and will rise a little whilst baking.
Using a large 5 pointed star cutter cut out the stars and leave 2-3cm between biscuits on the baking sheet.
Re-roll the trimmings (it's an incredibly good natured dough and re-rolls with ease as many times as necessary) and then repeat with the second ball of dough.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden. As the biscuits have angular points, they will catch so it's best to turn the tray halfway through baking. It doesn't matter if you forget – just make sure they're the points you dip in chocolate!
Leave to cool, on the baking sheets, on a wire rack – the biscuits will be soft when they come out of the oven. Wait until they have firmed up before removing the baking sheet.
To decorate the biscuits melt the white chocolate (i do it in the microwave) and add the colouring per the instructions on the colouring's packet. If you don't wish to use chocolate, you could decorate with sugar paste or icing.
Dip three of the star's points in the red chocolate – one for the hat, the other two for mittens.
Place each dipped biscuit on a sheet of baking paper to set.
When set, pipe white icing around the edge of the hat and gloves for fur trim. Also, pipe on the beard.
Use the white icing to fix the eyes and the gold balls for buttons and hat bobble. For the noses I picked the red dots out of a packet of cupcake sprinkles.

As excited as I was when I saw ICC gear with all of it's lovely Crit/Haste pieces and no Spirit, I'm now very, very disturbed. Come the end of ICC, and especially for any Balance Druid that is in a guild able to do Heroic content, we'll be running with over 1,000 Critical Strike Rating and over 1,000 Haste Rating. Using Wrath is already annoying for me right now when I have barely over 400 Haste, I simply cannot fathom using the spell when I literally end up with double my current Haste value. 0.5 second Wraths during Heroism is pointless, it's worthless, and it's hurting.
While I am not as pessimistic Murmurs sounds, I do agree with the sentiment 100%. We will soon be juggling 3 different caps while most Caster DPS classes only have to deal with the traditional Hit Cap.
How we got to this point is well documented. The Haste cap is the result of an overpowered Nature's Grace talent. This is one of the few times where players and Blizzard agree that a talent needs to be nerfed. The Lunar Crit cap is a result of an Eclipse talent gone wild. Blizzard hasn't said so out right, but many players think that this talent will also be nerfed in Cataclysm.
The third cause of this situation is also well documented, but not from a Moonkin or even a DPS perspective. When Blizzard first planned WotLK out they didn't plan on gear getting to the 277 iLevel, but the implementation of hard modes made it necessary to some extent. This caused there to be significant stat inflation, and was particularly evident in the rating stats like Crit and dodge. One of the Key reasons we are approaching the the Lunar Crit cap is because of the shear quantity of Crit rating and Intelligence that can be found on gear. One of the main reasons we struggle with the Hit cap is because you can get single items with close to 100 Hit rating on them.
This issue was so significant in tanking stats that Blizzard implemented a temporary solution called Chill of the Throne. It is a raid wide debuff that reduces the players dodge chance by 20%. When I read Murmur's quote above I was struck with an idea. Why couldn't/shouldn't Chill of the Throne have an impact on DPS stats as well?
I'm NOT Suggesting a Nerf
Before I get flamed, I want to point out that I am not suggesting a nerf. Blizzard implemented Chill of the Throne to smooth out the damage tanks take, not increase it. So, while they are technically nerfing the tanks avoidance in ICC they can also lower the damage dealt by the bosses. Theoretically the two nerfs should net to zero change but make for a more manageable raid.
By the same token, if Blizzard reduced our rating stats with a debuff similar to Chill of the Throne, I would expect a similar nerf to the bosses health. For example, if the net impact of the debuff was to reduce our DPS by 15%, I would expect a 15% nerf to the bosses Health as well. The two changes should net to zero so that the overall fight remains the same.
How it Would Help
Here is what I'm suggesting. What if Chill of the Throne also reduced your chance to Hit, chance to crit, and your haste by 5%?
Let me use an example. As an Alliance Moonkin I need just 237 Hit rating to be over the hit cap. If I have access to the heroic gear from ICC I can reach the Hit cap with just 3 items. With the Tier Legs and gloves at the 277 iLevel, and the exalted Rep ring I would have a total of 239 Hit rating. To make matters worse, this is really the only way to be close to the hit cap without gems or enchants. Most other gear configurations would put you significantly over or under the cap. If Chill of the Throne impacted your chance to hit you would need another 131 Hit rating to be capped. This would make it possible for you to utilized more of the gear available from ICC, because as it stands now, I ignore pretty much everything with Hit on it.
A side benefit to needing more Hit Rating is that it will indirectly reduce the amount of Haste rating, Crit rating, and Spirit you pick up. The additional itemization will have to come at the expense of one of the other stats.
If you look at it from the point of view of Haste or Crit the results are similar. I am already over the haste cap with very little gear from ICC. I would love for 164 more points of my haste to have a full impact rather than just the first 400. If I needed another 230 Crit rating to get to the Crit cap that would probably put it out of reach in all but the most extreme situations.
I know that a lot of you will disagree with me, but I'm starting to think that Chill of the Throne didn't go far enough.
