Effective September 1, at the ripe old age of 56 and after 23 years of a research career at a large pharma company, I pulled the plug and retired. One of the things I plan to do is ride more, and what better time to do that than in the Fall?
The trip at the top of my list was a camping trip to New England (VT) to see the fall foliage, so I went this week. I mayÔÇÖve been a little early, but I had a great time and saw some good color. The roads still curve even if the colors havenÔÇÖt peaked.
I left my home in southeast PA on Monday, the start of the (non)work week, with a goal of getting to the Adirondacks and Ausable Point SP, near Plattsburgh. The description of the state park as a sandy point that juts into Lake Champlain sounded interesting and I could ferry to Burlington from there.
Monday morning was electric jacket cool and I left the house by 5:30. Since the first hour or so would be in the dark, I took interstates and highways to MarshallÔÇÖs Creek near Stroudsburg, where I picked up PA 402 north.
I watched a bit of the sunrise over Silver Lake.
I picked up I-84 east and crossed into NY state at Port Jervis.
NY 42 north had lots of gentle curves. The school buses were out, but I made good time.
At one point, I came to the Neversink Reservoir, which I believe feeds NYC.
At this point, I knew I had missed my turn, so backtracked and eventually picked up Frost Valley Rd, a road IÔÇÖve ridden in the past. Unfortunately, the effects of Irene are still being felt.
I saw lots of damage still evident from Irene in NY and VT.
I mayÔÇÖve been able to get through, but I turned around to find an alternate route. IÔÇÖve ridden this area before when attending the Airheads at the Aerodrome rally and the Color in the Catskills at Hunter Mountain. The roads looked vaguely familiar and I eventually ended up on Peekamoose Rd. What a roller coaster.
IÔÇÖd ridden this road twice before with MOA members - once in a heavy rainstorm and once after the road had just been chip sealed ÔÇô neither time was all that much fun. This time though was very enjoyable.
I eventually made my way over to Grand Gorge to pick up NY 30. In the spirit of practicing what you preach, I recently recommended NY 30 to a Forum member as a great way to travel south through NY state from Canada. I rode this road several years ago, and have wanted to get back there.

Chris Kelly Funeral: Jermaine Dupri, Da Brat and Others Mourn Kris Kross Rapper
Chris Kelly's Kris Kross rap partner, Chris Smith, was among the well-known musicians, family and friends who gathered Thursday for Kelly's funeral in Atlanta.
Smith walked into Jackson Baptist Memorial Church alongside rapper Jermaine Dupri, who discovered the the 1990s teen duo, at an Atlanta mall.
The 34-year-old Kelly was found dead May 1 of a suspected drug overdose. His mother and uncle told authorities Kelly had a history of drug abuse and experienced similar episodes in the past, according to a police report.
Two members of the band Xscape, sisters LaTocha and Tamika Scott, arrived together for Kelly's funeral.
"He just wanted to smile. That's all he wanted," Tamika Scott said. "He was known to be a happy person."
Rapper Da Brat tried to speak to reporters when she arrived but stopped when she got choked up and went on into the church.
Kris Kross was introduced to the music world in 1992 by music producer Dupri after he discovered the pair at Greenbriar Mall in southwest Atlanta. Kelly was known as "Mac Daddy" and Smith was known as "Daddy Mac."
The duo wore their clothes backward as a gimmick, but they won over fans with their raps.
Their first, and by far most successful song, was "Jump." The hit, off their multiplatinum 1992 debut album "Totally Krossed Out," featured the two trading verses and rapping the refrain, the song's title. The duo had surprising maturity in their rap delivery, though the song was written by Dupri. It would become a No. 1 smash in the United States and globally, and one of the most popular of that year.

Staff writer
A group of concerned citizens in Goessel have joined together to form what they hope will be an alternative method for recycling, as the county-sponsored system is scheduled to end April 30.
"The response to recycling here has always been tremendously successful," said Goessel resident Larry Schmidt. "It will be a huge loss for the city and the surrounding community to lose our recycling avenue through the county, but we hope this new arrangement will provide an opportunity for continued success."
Schmidt said city council member Jim Wiens secured a large recycling container to replace the three smaller containers currently in use at 101 S. Cedar Street on the south side of the city building. The large container will hold as much as four of the smaller ones.
"The same recycling rules and regulations that are currently in effect will continue," Schmidt said. "It is here for anyone who wishes to continue to bring their recyclable items."
Schmidt said the city of Goessel will not fund the new recycling effort, but rather the project will depend on donations from those who use it.
"We will need $400 per month to cover the cost of the container and the transport of items to a recycling processing location," he said. "We figure if everyone that drops off their items will contribute $10 per month, we should have more than enough money to make this work."
The recycling committee will provide envelopes for donations at the entrance to the container storage area, and they can be dropped off in the city office mail slot where citizens currently leave their water bill payments.
Schmidt, who volunteers at the current recycling site every Thursday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. to help elderly patrons put their recyclables into the containers, said he has kept track of how many people use the Goessel recycling option.
"We pretty much have a constant stream of people coming through to drop off items," he said. "I can have an average of 48 different people that come just in the two-hour period that I am there every week. This is something that has always been important in this community."
Schmidt said if more money came in than was needed for each month, it would go into a fund.
"When it is cold, we don't have as many people come out," he said. "I am sure it will equalize out over the course of the year."
Schmidt said the only change he knew of that would take place when the county removed their bins and the Goessel group brought in their own was that shredded paper would no longer be accepted.
"We can take all the other usual items, like plastics, newspapers, cardboard, and cans," he said. "We just cannot accept shredded paper."
Schmidt said he and Wiens anticipate they will need to empty the large container about once a month.
"If it fills up sooner than that, then we will need to empty it more," he said. "It will just be a regular roll-off bin and a truck will come pick it up."
Schmidt said the new container would be in place as soon as the county removed their bins.
"We hope to get ours up and ready the last few days of April so we can be open May 1."
The citizens recycling committee held a public meeting Tuesday to discuss recycling plans at the city building.

has any body read that book 2001 a space oddsey. i read it but could not undestad it.
its my simple mind. help
I also read it, but it has been several years ago and if I recall correctly, I didn't understand it either. Sorry.
Sounds like a confusing book...sorry, i can't help ya here...haven't read it:(
thats cool dont worry bout it
One of the most famous "pionneer" sci-fi books in history, and I haven't read it, don't think I ever will
You can add to that "War of the Worlds", "Marsian Chronicles", and all the stuff from Jules Vernes you hear about when you take the Space Mountain tour @ Disneyland
I believe there's a movie for it anyway, in the end you might have to watch that.
The movie's also impossible to understand (or at least to sit through, in my case.)
At least it's close to the book
I've heard of this movie. but never actually seen it. I've heard that it's kinda funny, but it's not a comedy. Am I right?
True Warrior {MW}
There are two sequals to the book.
...If I recall correctly, the spaceship's computer started killing everybody off. It went berserk for some reason (maybe that reason was similar to VICKI's in I, Robot? Realizing that it is impossible to protect humans from themselves? Fuzzy on that part). Anyway, they (or maybe it was just one guy left?) killed HAL, the computer, by unplugging it (novel idea), and it went even crazier and started singing "A bicycle built for two". That's all I got. That's from the movie...I do plan on reading the book someday!

Yesterday, one of Politico's headlines from the State of the Union was: "He steals GOP's 'all of the above' energy slogan."
But something can only be stolen from you if you actually had it in the first place.
Yes, the Republicans like to say they are for an "all of the above" energy strategy, but every time they are presented with one from the Democrats that would mean oil would have to compete with "all" the other available sources of energy, they always vote "no."
When, in the last Congress, Democrats proposed a comprehensive energy strategy that would cap carbon emissions, make both renewable energy and nuclear energy more affordable, while providing support for continued production of American oil and, coal, Republicans said "no."
When the President last year shelved the idea in face of conservative obstruction, and instead proposed a "clean energy standard" with a broad definition including nuclear power and relatively cleaner coal, Republicans said "no."
When, in 2008, House Democrats offered a bill that would expand coastal oil drilling while also eliminating oil subsidies and mandating more renewable energy production, Republicans said, "no."
And as far back as 1977, when President Jimmy Carter proposed an ambitious energy policy to end dependence on foreign oil, but would increase domestic production of coal, wind, solar power, geothermal and methane and even "encourage production of oil and gas here in our own country", Republicans still said "no."
Because any "all of the above" strategy requires oil to more fairly compete with other energy sources.
Which means Republicans do not actually support an "all of the above" energy strategy for America. They support an oil dependence energy strategy for America.
There is a reason why in 2008, when Republicans started using the "all of the above" talking point, it eventually got supplanted by the more accurate "Drill Baby Drill."
So don't be shocked by the fact President Obama had nods to oil, coal and gas along with his continued support for renewable energy. This isn't swiping a page out of the Republican playbook. This is what Democratic leaders have long supported as a path to creating a clean energy economy, and what Republican leaders have long opposed.

text: The Olympics may inspire your kids to go for the gold, but that doesn't mean you should spend a lot of green. By Janet Bodnar, Editor-at-Large August 2, 2012 One good thing about the Olympic Games is that they may inspire your children to get up off the couch -- and onto the soccer field or track, or into the gym or pool. As the mother of three kids who all swam competitively through high school (and one who continued to swim in college), I'm glad that the young people who participate in this grueling sport get national recognition every four years. SEE ALSO: 50 Free or Cheap Things to Do With KidsBut if your kids are just starting out, don't overcommit your time or your money until you can gauge whether their interest will survive the closing ceremonies. Especially if your child's request involves expensive gym or pool time, start small, with a local summer swimming program (that's what Missy Franklin did) or a weekly class during the school year. If your child is serious enough to bump up the commitment, have her focus on one sport per season. She may have to give up other activities to avoid overloading her schedule -- and yours. If a sport requires a lot of equipment -- think ice hockey -- start with used stuff and trade up if your kid's interest outlasts a season or two. When my son finished one hockey season and decided not to continue, we passed on his used sticks, pads and pants to a young cousin. Advertisement I wouldn't have dreamed of paying my kids for practicing or lowering their times, and they wouldn't have dreamed of asking. But if you want to reward kids for their effort, try this: For every 15 minutes of practice, say, your athlete might earn 100 "sports cents." Once he has accumulated enough cents, he can exchange them for cash to buy a new tennis racket, soccer bag, baseball glove or some other piece of equipment. Parents, don't be too dazzled by the prospect of Olympic gold or a full-ride college scholarship. Only a tiny percentage of students receive athletic scholarships. The average amount is less than $10,000, which might not even cover tuition. Like those talented young gymnasts walking the beam, your challenge is to encourage your kids to strive for the best while keeping their balance. Show comments

Shades of Red: On Indian SummerBy Maria Konnikova
Babie leto. The summer of old women. Even today, years after leaving Russia, that's what I always call Indian summer in my head. The stress on the first syllable, the second merging seamlessly into that bright le of false warmth. The time of year I'm happiest to live where I do, forgiving for once the winter cold that lasts just a little too long, the days that grow just a little too short a little too quickly—and then seem to stay there indefinitely. The summer of the old women. I've often wondered why it is that some elderly hags should get special claim to these days of deceptive warmth, what it is in the ember of reds and honeyed yellows of the leaves that calls to them above everyone else. It seems somehow unfair, that privileged ownership.
A falling spindle of fine thread, catching the rays of the sun on its way down from the sky, letting the light play off its gossamer thinness. The flower crab spider's web carried through the air by the autumn wind. It's the finely spun yarn of a young girl who has been weaving without rest for days and nights on end. Long, long ago she was kidnapped by the sun, and now, she must spend her endless lifetime spinning fine thread for his pleasure. On the bright, clear days of babie leto, you can see her handiwork spiraling through the air. She is the woman of the second summer. And she may be timeless, but old she most certainly is not.
A lumbering long-haired creature of mythological proportions who comes out of hiding with the first notes of warmth that follow the early fall cold. His name is Baba. His hair is like a collection of finely spun spider's webs—and he can use it to tickle people to their deaths. He is the true owner of those waning days of warmth, old women be damned. They'd better watch out for his deceptively inviting hair.
There are the more prosaic explanations, of course. Read More

It seems quite a few actors picked up the microphone (some of which maybe shouldn't have) back in the 80's and vice-versa, with many music artists plunging into the world of lights, camera and action! There were some huge names as you may recall such as Madonna, Cher and Prince, however, there may be a few you didn't know about or possibly forgotten. This is by no means an entire list of ALL famous actors turned singers and singers turned actors in the 80's, but does feature most of the more famous entertainers.
We'll begin with the artists I mentioned above; Madonna, who had a couple of hit albums (her debut album Madonna & her sophomore album, Like a Virgin) under her belt before she jumped onto the big screen. She had a brief appearance as a club singer in Vision Quest and also appeared in the comedy Desperately Seeking Susan (1985). She later went on to act in movies such as Who's That Girl, Dick Tracy, Madonna: Truth or Dare, A League of Their Own and Evita among other appearances in film and television.
Cher began her career back in the early 60's as a session and backup singer as well as performing on television shows including the Sonny & Cher Show but didn't break out into the movies until the 1980's when she was next cast alongside Meryl Streep and Kurt Russell in the drama Silkwood which she received her first Academy Award nomination. Cher's next film was a starring role in Mask in 1985. In 1987 Cher starred in three films; The Witches of Eastwick, Suspect and the romantic comedy Moonstruck. Cher returned to her musical success in 1987 with her album Cher and in 1989 with her album Heart of Stone proving she could cross-over from television to film to music with equal success.
Prince had his beginnings in the late 70's early 80's in music. Prince was pretty much in the only hit movie for him (and soundtrack) Purple Rain where Prince played a young man with a talent for music and has begun a career with much promise. Purple Rain won an Academy Award and grossed more than $80 million in the U.S. In 1986 Prince starred in Under the Cherry Moon where plays a self-styled gigolo and musician in the south of France. Although Prince did not star in many movies, being an actor only enhanced his musical career.
Bette Midler
Midler released her debut album The Divine Miss M in December 1972. In 1979, Bette made her first motion picture, starring in the 1960s-era rock and roll tragedy The Rose, and in 1980, she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress and won the Golden Globe for Best Actress (Comedy or Musical). The film's acclaimed soundtrack album sold over two million copies in the United States alone, earning a Double Platinum certification. It earned Midler her first Gold single and won the Grammy award for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female.
In 1985, Bette was a performer on USA for Africa's fund-raising single We Are the World, and participated at the 'Live Aid' event at JFK stadium. Also in 1985, she signed a multi-picture deal with Touchstone Pictures. She was subsequently cast by director Paul Mazursky in Down and Out in Beverly Hills, beginning a successful comedic acting career. She followed that with Ruthless People (1986), Outrageous Fortune (1987), and Big Business (1988). She scored a hit with the 1988 tearjerker Beaches, co-starring Barbara Hershey. The accompanying soundtrack remains Bette's all-time biggest selling disc, reaching #2 on Billboard's album chart and with US sales of four million copies. It featured her biggest hit, Wind Beneath My Wings, which went to #1 on Billboard's Hot 100, achieved Platinum status, and won her third Grammy Award – for Record of the Year – award at the 1990 Grammy Awards.
From 1990 – 2000 Midler enjoyed continued success in which she played a snobbish poodle in the animated Disney movie Oliver & Company, she co-starred with Woody Allen in Scenes from a Mall, and she earned another Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for 1991's For the Boys. Other Bette Midler movies include: Stella, Hocus Pocus, The First Wives Club and The Stepford Wives. Bette won an Emmy Award in 1992 for her memorable performance on the second-to-last episode of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.
Whitney Houston
In 1986 Whitney was nominated for three awards including Album of the Year. She won her first Grammy award for 'Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female' for Saving All My Love for You. At the same award show, she performed that Grammy-winning hit, the performance later winning her an Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program. Houston won seven American Music Awards in total in 1986 and 1987, and an MTV Video Music Award.
Although Houston enjoyed singing success in the 1980's and early 90's, she didn't get into acting in movies until the 1990's. Whitney starred in The Bodyguard (1992), Waiting to Exhale (1995), The Preacher's Wife (1996) and a cameo appearance in Nora's Hair Salon (2004) which she played herself.
To boost your 1980's Whitney Houston TV trivia knowledge, here are a few other roles she played on television; In 1983 Whitney appeared in a Canada Dry commercial and in 1986 & 1988 she sang a version of the Diet Coke theme song — one song being "Just for the Taste of It." In 1984 Whitney played Rita on Gimme a Break! ("Katie's College" – Season 3, Episode 20) and in 1985, she played herself on an episode of Silver Spoons ("Head Over Heels" – Season 4, Epsidode 1).
Rick Springfield
Believe it or not, Rick Springfield started his musical career in the late 1960's after dropping out of high school. When Springfield came to California from Australia in 1972 he produced an album called Beginnings, although it didn't get much air play at the radio stations. Rick then turned his attention to his family and his acting career in the early 80's starring on General Hospital.
At the same time, he had signed a contract with RCA Records and already recorded the album Working Class Dog, which neither he nor his agent had expected would do very well, which is why Springfield took the soap role. But the song Jessie's Girl went to #1, and Springfield ended up both playing the role of Dr. Noah Drake from 1981 through 1983, while simultaneously going on tour with his band.
In 1984, Springfield made one full length feature film, Hard to Hold, and in 1998 he played in the film Legion. In 1992, he played the title role in the short-lived ABC series Human Target, based on the DC Comics character of the same name.
Eddie Murphy
Eddie Murphy is probably most well-known for his stand-up comedy, his work on Saturday Night Live and the huge 80's movie hit Beverly Hills Cop. But what many people don't know, Eddie is also a singer, musician and has recorded five studio albums, is on two compilation albums and has been on two soundtracks.
Murphy has provided background vocals to songs released by the The Bus Boys. As a solo artist, Murphy had two hit singles, Party All the Time from his album How Could It Be (which was produced by Rick James) and Put Your Mouth on Me from So Happy in the mid-1980s.
Best known for being the front-man to the Police back in the 80's, then later as a solo artist, Sting has also has an extensive list of movies he has starred and appeared in.
In 1982 Sting played a drifter in Brimstone and Treacle, in 1984 he was Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen in the cult classic Dune. In 1985 Sting played Mick in the movie Plenty and Baron Frankenstein in The Bride. In 1988 Sting played three roles, one in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, a nightclub owner in Stormy Monday and a British gentleman in Julia and Julia and just recently played himself in the Bee Movie.
Don Johnson
As many people know, in September 1984, Don Johnson landed a starring role as Sonny Crockett in the very popular cop series, Miami Vice. Later Johnson starred in the 1996-2001 drama Nash Bridges with Cheech Martin.
Similar to Eddie Murphy, Johnson was not very well known for his musical abilities. In 1986 he released his first album named Heartbeat with the hit single of the same name. In 1988 he did a duet with Barbara Steisand and title track from her Till I Loved You album. In 1989 he released his second album Let It Roll, that same year he did a duet with Latin singer Yun. Finally, Johnson released The Essential album which is a French compilation which includes his one-hit-wonder Heartbeat.
David Bowie
David Bowie had quite the musical career even before entering the 80's — going from superstar to megastar in the decade of the eighties. Recording Under Pressure with Queen and his biggest commercial success album Let's Dance in the early 80's catapulted him into mega-stardom.
Bowie began his movie career in the late 60's appearing in a short film as a boy in the movie The Image, the most known movie he appeared in the 1980's was Labrynth in which he played Jareth the Goblin King. Bowie also appeared in the controversial Martin Scorsese film The Last Temptation of Christ in 1988. Another notable film in which he had a cameo appearance in was Zoolander in 2001.
Phil Collins
After Phil Collins' 1970's career as drummer and eventually Genesis' lead singer/writer when Peter Gabriel left the band, Phil began a successful solo career in the early 80's. In 1981 he recorded his first solo album Face Value, In 1982 he produced Something's Going On, a solo album by Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Frida), of ABBA fame. His second album, Hello, I Must Be Going!, released in 1982, included songs such as I Don't Care Anymore.
From 1985 until 2010, Collins had recorded 6 solo albums including No Jacket Required, But Seriously, Both Sides, Dance Into the Light among others. Collins had 9 number one singles in the UK & US; all of which were released in the 1980's — although Another Day in Paradise charted in 1990.
Phil's first film role since becoming a musician came in 1988 with Buster about the Great Train Robbery which took place in England in the 1960s. The movie received good reviews and Collins contributed four songs to the films soundtrack. Collins had cameo appearances in Steven Spielberg's Hook (1991) and the AIDS docudrama And the Band Played On (1993). He starred in 1993's Frauds, he was considered for the role of the villain in the movie Speed that was later played by Dennis Hopper. He supplied voices to two animated features: Balto (1995) and Disney's The Jungle Book 2 (2003). On television, he twice hosted the Billboard Music Awards. He also appeared in an episode of the series Miami Vice, entitled "Phil the Shill", in which he plays a cheating con-man. He also guest starred in several sketches with The Two Ronnies. Most recently, he had a cameo appearance on the television series Whoopi.
Other notable famous 80's singers turned actors & actors turned singers
Meatloaf (Marvin Lee Aday) actually sought an acting career before he became a singer. Meatloaf had tremendous fame with his 1972 Bat Out Of Hell album. After Bat Out Of Hell, Meat lost much of his fame and fortune throughout the 1980's, although he did have some success touring and managed to record four albums from 1981 – 1986. Meatloaf returned to popularity with his Bat Out Of Hell II: Back into Hell album and has appeared in over 30 movies including The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Iconic musician/performer Neil Diamond (we won't go into his entire musical career) starred in a remake of the Al Jolson classic The Jazz Singer in 1980, opposite Laurence Olivier and Lucie Arnaz. Though the movie was not a blockbuster hit at the box office, the soundtrack was a hugely successful album, spawning the 3 Top 10 singles Love on the Rocks, Hello Again, and America. For his role in the film itself, Diamond became the first ever Winner of a Worst Actor Razzie Award, yet he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for the same role.
Finally, David Hasselhoff, yes, Mr. Hasselhoff himself recorded quite the collection of albums. Best known for his TV hits Knight Rider and Baywatch, Hasselhoff performed on stage as well as full-featured movies. He recorded over 15 albums and some of which even made the charts.

Champlain Bridge site to host new boat launch and more

 MIDDLEBURY — About three years after the old Champlain Bridge was closed due to safety concerns, workers will soon begin the final phase of work on the new Lake Champlain Bridge project.

 That work will involve upgrades to property on the Vermont side of the span to include construction of a new boat launch, two gravel parking lots and walking paths with interpretive signs.

 The 80-year-old Champlain Bridge was closed on Oct. 16, 2009, and imploded two and a half months later. The new, state-of-the-art span was built in its place, and it was put into use last Nov. 7 amid much fanfare.

 Dan Landry, structures project manager for the Vermont Department of Transportation, confirmed on Monday that Carmel, N.Y.-based Peckham Road Corp. had submitted the lowest ($853,954) of seven bids from companies interested in performing the work, designed to restore and improve land at the West Addison entrance of the bridge.

 That land was disturbed back in the fall of 2009 after authorities closed the Champlain Bridge when an inspection revealed it to be structurally unsafe. State and federal authorities decided the bridge needed to be replaced, which in the short term led to construction of a temporary ferry adjacent to the former span that linked West Addison with Crown Point, N.Y., across Lake Champlain.

 Workers put in road approaches and ferry landings on both sides of the lake. Historic preservation officials conducted digs in an effort to preserve important artifacts that were at risk of being destroyed with the ferry and bridge work.

 The project, Landry explained, was carved into several pieces, with the federal government paying 80 percent of the tab and the states of Vermont and New York each paying 10 percent. Those project "pieces" included the temporary ferry system, implosion of the bridge, construction of the new one (at a cost of more than $83 million) and now the final element: restoration of the sites (and related approach work) on both sides of the bridge.

 "When the bridge opened I think some people thought that was the end of the project," said Rep. Diane Lanpher, D-Vergennes. "But there is more work to finish."

 Lanpher, a member of the House Transportation Committee, was pleased to report that the low bid of $853,954 is significantly less than the $1.2 million price tag that had been forecast. Major features of the project include:

 • A new handicap-accessible boat ramp that will be much wider than the previous one and that will be served by a graveled parking lot.

 • New fencing around the parking area.

 • A series of gravel paths that will feature interpretive signs. Those signs will include information about the former Champlain Bridge that was erected in 1929. Lanpher is requesting that the trails be named after the late Carl Reidel, a former Ferrisburgh resident, state representative and patriarch of the University of Vermont's Environmental Studies program.

 • A small amphitheater that will be used for, among other things, lectures about the rich history of the region.

 • An additional parking area for visitors and recreation enthusiasts.

 • New landscaping, to include some apple trees.

 • Removal of the temporary ferry access road, reshaping of the Chimney Point driveway and resurfacing of more than four-tenths of a mile of Route 125 leading up to the bridge.

 "It will really be a nice improvement to the area," Landry said of the plan, drawn up by David Raphael of Middlebury-based LandWorks.

 Landry said Peckham Road Corp. has until June 30 of next year to complete the project. A pre-construction meeting will soon be held to iron out expectations for the work, at which time Peckham can get started.

 "We are likely to see at least equipment at the site this fall," Landry said.

 The Addison Independent reached out to New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) officials to get details on site improvements to the Crown Point side of the bridge, as well as to respond to reports that some of the lights designed to illuminate the massive span are still not in working order. NYSDOT was the lead agency in planning the Champlain Bridge project.

 An e-mail and multiple phone calls went unreturned by NYSDOT spokeswoman Carol Breen as the Independent went to press on Wednesday.

Researchers followed newlyweds for four years and found that the happier the marriages were, the more the couples gained weight, CW39′s NewsFix reports.
The study found that couples who were less happy in their marriages were more likely to consider divorce, and as a result may be more concerned about their weight. Researchers also noted that people in relationships compare themselves to their partners when deciding how they feel about their weight.

This article originally appeared in the March 2011 issue of Architectural Digest.
Do I want a corridor or do I want an experience every time I walk in the door?" Daphne Guinness asked herself one recent afternoon. Of course she wanted the experience.
So entering her new Fifth Avenue apartment, one proceeds through a hall that seems to stretch into infinity, thanks to its completely mirrored walls and ceiling. With bloodred carpet underfoot and a few striking works of contemporary art on view, including an enormous Damien Hirst butterfly painting, it's a modern take on Versailles's Galerie des Glaces meets carnival fun house.
"Some people get confused in there, but I love it," says Guinness, taking a seat in her living room, which is pretty shiny as well—silver-leaf paper on the ceiling, high-gloss ebonized-wood floors, slightly smoky mirror on one wall.
Guinness herself sparkles, too. On a gray day, her arms are covered in antique diamond bracelets and a silver-lamé turban caps her signature skunk-streak hair. Fashion patron, muse, and model extraordinaire, she has grown accustomed to having her every move analyzed by designers, photographers, stylists, and editors. Given how often she's photographed at glamorous events worldwide, it may be hard for some to believe she has a domestic life, let alone an intellectual side, but indeed she has both.
Scholarly books are stacked on nearly every table (close at hand are The Letters of Lord Byron; Christopher Marlowe: The Complete Plays; and Seneca: Six Tragedies). They are clearly not props; conversations with Guinness are anything but standard fashionista patter. Somehow particle physics comes up today. She is "mad," she says, for the Large Hadron Collider, near Geneva, Switzerland. "All those atoms spinning around so fast—I'm obsessed with that."
The daughter of an heir to the Irish brewing fortune (and granddaughter of one of the fabled Mitford sisters), Guinness grew up in stately homes in Ireland and England and spent summers in a 17th-century former hermitage on Spain's Costa Brava, where Salvador Dalí and Man Ray were among the neighbors. In 1987, at age 19, she married Spyros Niarchos, son of the stratospherically wealthy Greek shipping tycoon Stavros Niarchos. For the next 12 years, life was a dizzying merry-go-round, as she shuttled between the family's island and palatial homes on private planes and the clan's superyacht, Atlantis II.
Following her divorce, it took a long while for Guinness to restore her equilibrium. "It was extremely destabilizing to me," she recalls. "I had to put a lot of effort into recovering my balance." A couple of years ago, she downsized from a mansion in London to an apartment there and began spending more time in New York. Eventually she chose a three-bedroom apartment—strictly on the basis of its high floor and its banks of north- and west-facing windows—in a grand building near the Metropolitan Museum of Art. "It's all about the light," she says. "North for drawing, west for sunsets."
Though she had definite ideas about the decor, she wanted help executing them. Fortuitously the building manager suggested she meet Daniel Romualdez, the architect who was designing the apartment above hers, whose clients include Tory Burch and Aerin Lauder. Their meeting over tea at the Carlyle hotel turned from job interview to impassioned design session within minutes. "We started sketching right then," Romualdez says.
As he would do many times during their subsequent meetings, Romualdez took decorative cues from his client's personal style. "She was wearing a silver-lamé Chanel coatdress, so right away I knew there had to be silver," he says. He also matched the scarlet carpet in the corridor to Guinness's custom-blended nail polish.
"Daniel got all my references immediately," she says. "I told him I wanted the shine of Metropolis, the modernity that should have happened," she explains, "with the lush flora of Suddenly, Last Summer. But I didn't want it to tip into English decadence. It had to be contained, controlled—intelligent decadence. What I wanted was sort of a savage modernism."
"The minute she said Fritz Lang, I knew just what to do," says Romualdez. "It was all very fast and easy, almost effortless. The only challenge was keeping up with her mind. Daphne is exploding with ideas."
She gets many of them, it seems, while hanging out—literally—on an inversion table she keeps in her office. "I spend a lot of time upside down," she says. "It increases the blood flow to the brain, so it really helps your creativity."
Perhaps it was during one of her dips that Guinness came up with the idea of mirroring her entire bathroom. "It was sort of an homage to my mother, who had a mirrored bath in the country," she says. Recently this space received unsolicited publicity (Heiress in Bath Lather, read a headline last fall in the New York Post). Following multiple overflows, Guinness's downstairs neighbor had filed a lawsuit and attempted to take out an injunction barring her from bathing in it. "My infamous tub," she moans when the subject comes up. "I'm mending it," she adds.
In furnishing the apartment, Romualdez designed a number of upholstered pieces, among them a pair of plump white chaises and a matching sofa in the living room, while Guinness provided much of the remaining furniture herself—either from her previous home in London or from warehouses filled with stored antiques—including a long mahogany table by Jacques Adnet. "It had never fit into any of my houses, but it fits perfectly here," she says.
She assembled all the art herself, including a collection of photographs by Irving Penn, Nobuyoshi Araki, Gregory Crewdson, Bert Stern, and, most prominently, David LaChapelle, who is one of her closest friends.
The place has found favor with her three children, 15, 19, and 21, who often come to stay between school terms (although, she laments, "They just want to be downtown when they are in New York"). Another frequent visitor is Bernard-Henri Lévy, the eminent and debonair French intellectual, who lives in Paris. The pair's friendship has been the subject of much talk on both sides of the Atlantic. "He's here a lot," she says. "He likes the apartment."
Even with a glittering new perch at her disposal, Guinness rarely stays in the same place for long. She is leaving early in the morning for a yoga and kite-surfing retreat in Mexico before she flies on to Miami and London. "I like change, but I also like the baselines in my life to be the same," she notes. "It's quite nice to have a place to leave things. You can be a permanent gypsy, but it's nice to go home."

Criminal truancy charges brought against home schooling mother
Filed: October 22, 2000, Washington County.
Nature of Case: A home school mom spent Valentine's Day in a Maryland criminal court this year. Before the day was out, however, she had won over the prosecutor, the judge, and even the school officials who filed the criminal charges.
Late last summer, Kathy D told her school district that she planned to teach her sons at home this year. She filled out her Assurance of Consent form on August 27, 2000, and kept her children home. School officials insisted that the boys had to be in school until her program was "approved," so she briefly enrolled them back in public school. The school district recognized her home school program on September 27, but then filed criminal charges against her for 15 unexcused absences before that date.
The district was wrong to file these charges, but this problem may have stemmed from their outdated procedures. Back in the 1980s, Maryland parents could not teach their children at home without "approval" from the superintendent of their county's public school system. In 1987 and again in 1991, the Maryland Department of Education revised the law to allow parents to teach their own child at home without approval from the local school district. Under Maryland's home school by-laws, parents are free to begin home schooling 15 days after they file an "Assurance of Consent" form with the local school district. Thus, most of the "unexcused absences" on the criminal complaint were actually legal home school days.
HSLDA Attorney Scott Somerville represented Kathy in criminal court, with the capable assistance of Bruce Kent, a home schooling father and Maryland attorney.
The prosecutor insisted that she had nothing against home schooling. Quite the contrary: she had a very positive impression of home schoolers, especially her home schooling baby-sitter, who had impressed her enormously. The prosecutor made it clear that she was more than willing to keep the matter out of court if the school district would agree.
Attorneys Somerville and Kent then met with the school officials who had come to testify against Kathy. The two attorneys carefully explained how the by-laws should have worked in this case. Before long, both sides understood the procedures that should have been followed. Better yet, both parties could see that following the procedures would mean each side would get what they wanted. The school officials agreed to keep the matter out of court.
The prosecutor was delighted to discover that the school district no longer wanted to go to trial, and agreed to continue the case for 90 days, with a promise to drop the charges altogether if both sides followed the procedures in the by-laws.
Ruling: When the two parties informed the judge of their decision, he agreed to it, but only after expressing his objections to the criminal charges that had been filed against the mother. "In general, I disapprove of this kind of case," he commented. "It is almost impossible to show a criminal intent."
Status: The case has been dismissed.

A Sandwich a Day: The Beastie at Now Make Me a Sandwich in Seattle, WA
A different sandwich profiled every single day.
In this great nation of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the country. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
The Beastie sandwich ($9) from Now Make Me a Sandwich appears to have eaten a cheesesteak for lunch. It's the only explanation for how it managed to cannibalize all the best features of a cheesesteak and transform them into such a quietly elegant sandwich. Coming out of a Viking-themed food truck is great justification for pillaging the grand ideas of other sandwiches, but such a neatly-composed sandwich hardly seems what Erik the Red ate as he crossed oceans.
Roast beef—or beastie, if you will—sandwiches are generally a cold delicacy, or, if served hot, require the addition of outside juices (or jus) to be edible. This is where the cheesesteak strategy comes into play. Now Make Me a Sandwich specializes in grilled sandwiches, and each part of this sandwich hits the grill, much like the Philadelphia classic. The thin-sliced beef is warmed on the grill, just barely charring the edges for a crisp treat. The onions and hot peppers are grilled and then tangled into a mess of melting Provolone cheese. The cheese is the glue (both literally and figuratively) that holds this sandwich together, keeping the meat and vegetables pleasantly tucked in the bread, and helping the roast beef retain its moisture. The telera roll (like what a Mexican torta often comes on) stands up to the heavy fillings, having been reinforced with its own trip to the grill, as well as with a smear of rosemary aioli.
There's but a dubious connection between the Viking theme of the truck and the sandwich, but if it tastes like this, bring on the horned helmets!

RICHMOND, Va. - Denny Hamlin wishes he didn't need medical clearance to race.
The 32-year-old NASCAR star drove himself to Richmond International Raceway on Thursday, but was begrudgingly preparing for another weekend watching someone else drive his familiar No. 11 Toyota.
At his hometown track, that was doubly disappointing because the weekend kicked off with two races on Thursday night, including the Denny Hamlin Short Track Showdown to benefit Hamlin's charitable foundation.
"I'd rather just do it," Hamlin said about getting back in the race car. "Honestly, I know everyone is trying to protect me from myself, but I would have raced at Martinsville two weeks ago."
Hamlin wasn't cleared to return, however, after a visit Wednesday to Dr. Jerry Petty of Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine Associates, and telephone consultations with others. Much of the phone call sounded like a foreign language, Hamlin said, though he did pick up enough to understand things are inexact with injuries such as his, and recovery times.
"Some kind of in-plate is not healing the way that they wanted it and that's what they wanted in order to clear me," said Hamlin, who grew up within 30 minutes of RIR. "Really, that was their determining factor and, obviously, my injury is very, very hard because there is no exact science to the risk.
"No one knows what the risk will be if I race this week or if I race two weeks from now."
Hamlin already deals with chronic pain caused by bulging discs in his back, and says he'd have no trouble climbing in an out of a window to get in the car. He tentatively plans to do that next weekend at Talladega, where his goal is to start the race to begin collecting critical driver points, then climb out at the first opportunity and turn the car over to a relief driver.
That's just a short-term fix, though, and Hamlin sees the point of no return not far in the distance.
After Talladega, the series moves to Darlington where starting and relinquishing the car would be difficult to do without losing several laps, making the idea of writing off the season appear ever more sensible.
Hamlin is clinging to the idea that if he misses a handful of races, his team could accumulate enough points in the races he does make to still gain one of the 12 spots in the 10-race championship run.
With each race he misses, though, that become a much less likely scenario, and one that could cause him to decide to have back surgery planned for the offseason sooner with an eye toward a healthier 2014.
"I think if this goes past Darlington, then I don't know what the chances of us making the Chase are even if we were to race this weekend, race next weekend or the one after," he said.
"Obviously, if it goes past Darlington our chances are crushed even harder."
Surgery would have a recovery period of about six weeks, Hamlin said, leaving open the possibility to he could return to run a few races at the end of the season, but without championship aspirations.
Then again, Hamlin joked a day after Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Matt Kenseth received harsh penalties from NASCAR, "if everyone keeps getting these penalties, I'm going to be the points leader soon."

In this ongoing series, we ask executives, entrepreneurs and business leaders about mistakes that have shaped their business philosophy.
John Bramlette
The Ripken Way — inspiring athletes through remarkable experiences — is at the core of Ripken Baseball. Ripken Baseball continues to innovate the game through tournaments, camps and clinics hosted at its state-of-the-art youth baseball and softball facilities in Aberdeen, Maryland; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
The Mistake:
There's a theme at this job and at previous jobs I've had, which is figuring out the right balance between being aggressive with new opportunities, but also servicing your core product and not getting caught up in things that take your eye off the ball, no pun intended.
One of the great things about being at Ripken Baseball, but also one of the challenges, is that the brand attracts a lot of potential opportunities and external interest. At various times during my tenure and prior to that, we may have spent a little bit too much time reacting to those opportunities or reacting to other folks' appraisals of what we could do.
There were some instances in which we spent a lot of time on initiatives or projects that there may have been some excitement around, but there wasn't necessarily a clear articulation of what the revenue generation strategy was, or how it would complement our existing customer base.
In the past we probably erred by trying to do too many different things — too many kinds of tournaments or too many kinds of camps or other types of youth programming, and experimenting with hardware products related to baseball.
We were able to do those things, but were we able to do it at a world-class level? And that is what the Ripken brand stands for. In retrospect I would feel the answer is no. Not to say that those things aren't valuable or something we wouldn't do, but we weren't selective enough, and we tried too many of those things.
The lesson I take is to not allow your initial enthusiasm and excitement over a concept to cloud your judgment.
The Lesson:
Making sure that you don't get spread too thin as far as opportunities, or offerings or programs, is a consistent thing that a lot of businesses need to wrestle with. It's something I often find myself going back to when faced with some sort of decision.
The lesson I take is to not allow your initial enthusiasm and excitement over a concept to cloud your judgment. Ask yourself what's the investment of time and money required to get this to not just acceptable but to excellent, and force yourself to have a sober assessment of those opportunities even if there's excitement.
Some of our decision making lately has been, let's double down on our core products and put more staff resources into making that truly world class, as opposed to branching out and just trying to do more and more qualitatively.
It's been a really good thing to take a deep breath and distill our vision and our mission and what we want to try to accomplish. Instead of appraising an opportunity by asking is it feasible, we've started to appraise these opportunities by considering whether it's feasible to do at a high level, and asking does it fit within our mission and the existing things that we offer. If the answer to those questions isn't a clear yes, we back burner it for now.
In the past our bar was perhaps a little bit lower as far as pursuing things, and I think that led us to getting spread too thin, and we've shifted in a good direction, in my view. If we're going to launch a new product it needs to enhance the kids' experience or give them another avenue into a deeper, richer Ripken Baseball experience.

So how would you feel if the seller of your car came to pick it up with his own set of keys, because the person that sold it to him sold it illegally? He left you money in your mailbox. But just didn't tell you. You found out when you decided to make a late night White Castle run.
Not feeling that? Well what if the local bookstore just came to your house and picked two books off your bookself and left money in their place? You realized it when you saw two empty spaces on your shelf. Okay, now you want to kill somebody, right? That's apparently how a lot of readers felt who downloaded two books on their Kindle reader, only to have them erased and their money refunded. Apparently, Amazon explained later that the seller of the e-books had no rights to sell them. That's understandable. But the matter of how Amazon handled it got readers in an uproar. It was the after-the-fact approach that seemed to tick some readers off. Perhaps if Amazon had explained the situation beforehand and what they needed to do to resolve it, and what the readers options were, there would not have been an issue. But to snatch up a purchased product and not provide explanation until readers emailed questions, well, not such a good thing to do.
Now their method brings to light the "big brother" type of capability Amazon has with its Kindle reader. This may not have been thought of if this incident didn't happen. Once a reader purchases an e-book, Amazon has the power at any time to delete any book from anybody's Kindle without warning or notification. If we go far off the deep end, we can imagine scenarios of book banning, censorship, etc., etc. Do I think it's that serious? No. Amazon is very regretful after the backlash they've received from it. Especially at a time when Barnes & Noble is opening it's e-book store and Apple is coming out with a tablet with e-book reading capability. Now is not the time to anger readers. Amazon is taking steps to ensure that this will never happen again. But still, the thought of another entity being able to come into my domain and take something that I've purchased without warning or explanation leaves me with that not so fresh feeling.

That really is spooky. I wonder how many people were reading one of the books at the time? Going along fine, and then . . . nothing. On the other hand, I suppose it's a good thing that Amazpn removes books that sellers have no business selling, but still, the tactics were a bit high-handed.
- Cherlyn Michaels Sat Aug 01, 05:50:00 PM EDT
That's a very good question. Who knows how that worked. Was someone reading, and then it was snatched? I'm in agreement with what they did too. As an author, I would want them to delete any unlawfully sold copies of my book. As a reader though, I'd appreciate heads up when you're putting your hand in my cookie jar. LOL

Amber Valletta talks about getting forcibly sexed up for her gross, futuristic "user" in the ultra-violent future wold of Gamer, the movie she wouldn't let her son see.
We chatted with lovely Amber Valetta about the cold and cruel futuristic world Crank's Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor created for Gamer. A world where people can control others like puppets, and believe you me, that's hardest on the ladies. Especially when your user makes you dress up in tiny blue short-shorts and crazy orange wigs. Valetta talked about what it all means, and what the Grey Goo theory has to do with Gamer.
So you were a sociology major ... what do you think you learned about people in general in this whole experience?
I think first and foremost films are for enjoyment. The arts in general are for two things: they're for entertainment purposes, but they're also to reflect our dreams, our hopes, the present, the future, the past. Whether it's good or bad.
So, I think that this movie says a lot about what's going on today and also where we could possibly be moving to in a darker future. And I think that on a psychological level, if you look at the scheme of maybe a wider consciousness, there is this lack of intimacy, this acceptance of exploitation, this desensitization to violence and sex. And I think that's what this movie is really, on a deeper level, really showing and saying.
To what degree would you sell yourself? I would give my life for my son; and in this movie my character would give her life for her daughter, and she does. She's willing to be brutally ... I mean, they softened it a bit, but she's brutalized. And Gerard Butler's character is fighting for his life. So there are two people who are going to the most extremes to get back to one another and to their child, so I think there's something unique and interesting about those characters in the movie, but there's also something interesting about the bigger social commentary of what the film's saying. And it's ... disturbing, it is disturbing.
How do you think people will react to it overall?
I think there are going to be different reactions. I think people are gonna totally get off on that it's a ride; the film looks like a video game in the sense that it's constantly moving, and angles are all over the place, and so I think there's going to be that aspect. I think there's gonna be people who just love action, I think there's gonna be people who are so into the futuristic element of it, with the nanotechnology [the tech Gamer uses to control humans], and then I think there's some people who will just get into the whole thing of it, you know? And I'm sure it's gonna not be for everybody. This movie is not for everybody.
When you say 'not for everybody,' do you mean the violence?
Yeah, I mean, I would never show it to my son. Maybe when he's like, a teenager or something, but I would never show it to my son.
Are you worried that ... there's a 'humanist thesis' to the film, but it's an awful lot of blow-shit-up action?
Oh yeah, but the thing is - that [thesis] in itself is a satirical point of view. It's also showing you how, we don't give a shit. We'll just blow shit up and everybody will be all "Yay!" you know?
How much of it the satirical aspect was discussed on set?
I think the directors [Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor] knew exactly what they were doing; in fact I know they knew what they were doing. We talked about nanotechnology, we talked about the kind of subtext that was going on. But then, at the same time, they know they're there to entertain. It's not like we're all trying to get on a soapbox and be like, stuffing some message down people's throat. I think the point of an artist is expressing different ideas and showing different things, whether it's through this kind of avenue or something else. But I definitely know they knew what they were doing. I know they thought it was funny because that's the kind of guys they are. They laugh, but I think they also think it's ... I mean, we talked about how nanotechnology is terrifying.
I don't know, I think this movie definitely pushes some buttons; it pushes my buttons even.
You've got one strange futuristic ensemble on for most of this film. Were there any other favorite little world-building moments?
They let me be extremely involved with costume, hair and makeup and we all got to share ideas and from day one when we tested different looks it was really clear to me that when I was in society, there was going to ... those aspects were going to be so important to me, (like) the costume.
My gamer creates an avatar; so it was vital to the character. When my character, Angie, is in her real life, I had to be as raw and scrubbed down - I was like, please don't put any makeup, as little as possible; the hair, I would (say), 'Let's not wash the hair' - we tried to stay as true to form as we could.
And then all the sets were just amazing. I mean really really cool. Like the scenes with Milo were great. It was really crazy; and then the club scene, the raves -
Gamer went through a lot of edits, what got cut that maybe you wish or you can't wait for people to see in the DVD release or bonus features?
Emovie gets cut, but this movie in particular, the way they wanted the movie to look ... was like this constant movement and action, so I don't think the movie was cut because of this or that. I think it's the way they wanted the movie to speak to people. Those things coming out on DVD? I think there are extended scenes with Milo and I that are great, some of the rave, I think there was some really great stuff in the rave that they didn't show because the rave's only 20, not even, maybe 10-15 seconds?
On the in-game nanotechnology....
I think the scary thing is is that nanotechnology is so ... we just don't know that much. We don't really know what it can do if it gets inside of you, the human body. It's not intend to go inside the human body, and they're already putting it out on the market. And there's the whole Grey Goo theory [that is referenced in the film].
Can you elaborate about that?
You should ask (Mark an Brian) about the grey goo theory. It's just the theory that nanotechnology because it's so tiny can pass even the membrane of your brain, but it can do that with anything. So they would take over. It's kinda like that book Crichton wrote, Prey.
So this cup of coffee could just become a mess of cells because nanotechnology is screwing up the molecules?
Gamer comes out this Friday September 4th.
