Injuries force SEC teams to alter QB plans
By Steve MegargeeAP Sports Writer
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — This was supposed to be the year that the Southeastern Conference showcased its wealth of experienced quarterbacks up and down the league.
Plans have changed for a number of schools. Injuries have wreaked havoc around the conference, forcing coaches to rely on newcomers.
South Carolina lost senior starter Jake Bentley to a foot injury during the opening week of the season. Kentucky's Terry Wilson and Mississippi State's Tommy Stevens were knocked out of games last week. Their replacements included two true freshmen and a transfer.
"It's changed because of the number of guys who are leaving early for the NFL draft and the number of (quarterbacks) that are going to transfer," South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said. "So if you don't become the starter, you transfer and leave and then all of a sudden you look up and all you've got left behind whoever may be your incumbent starter is a true freshman."
Freshman Ryan Hilinski is South Carolina's starting quarterback for now with Bentley out indefinitely. Wilson is out for the season with a torn patellar tendon, leaving Kentucky to rely on Troy transfer Sawyer Smith.
Mississippi State coach Joe Moorhead said Stevens' status for the Bulldogs' game Saturday with Kansas State is uncertain due to an upper-body injury. Freshman Garrett Shrader stepped in for Stevens last week in a 38-15 victory over Southern Mississippi.
Eight of the SEC's 14 teams were returning their starting quarterbacks from last season. Four of the other six teams brought in graduate transfers: Missouri's Kelly Bryant (transfer from Clemson), Arkansas' Ben Hicks (SMU) and Nick Starkel (Texas A&M), Vanderbilt's Riley Neal (Ball State) and Mississippi State's Stevens (Penn State). Of those graduate transfers, Stevens was the only one without starting experience.
Tennessee is off to its first 0-2 start since 1988 as Jarrett Guarantano has become increasingly prone to the mistakes he avoided making last season. Hicks has struggled enough for Arkansas that the Razorbacks have named Starkel their new starter.
SEC Network analyst Jordan Rodgers recommends that Kentucky give versatile receiver and former high school quarterback Lynn Bowden Jr. about 15 snaps per game from the Wildcat formation to help compensate for Wilson's absence.
Wilson "was dynamic with the ball in his hands, so you had to scheme for that as a defense," said Rodgers, who was Vanderbilt's starting quarterback in 2011-12. "When you look at what they have now with Sawyer Smith, yes he's played some football - 13 games for Troy last year, almost 1,700 yards, 15 total touchdowns — he's played football. But he's not the skill set that you have to scheme for his athleticism. And if you don't have an elite quarterback in this day and age — a Tua, a (Clemson's) Trevor (Lawrence), a Jake Fromm - you have to give defenses something (else) to worry about."
Kentucky and South Carolina both offer early evidence that losing an experienced quarterback doesn't have to be devastating. Smith started seven games for Troy last season and threw for a 54-yard touchdown in his first pass after replacing Wilson in Kentucky's 38-17 victory over Eastern Michigan last week.
"That's a big deal, that Sawyer has been through this," Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said. "So it's nothing new to him. He has a lot of confidence."
While Smith's Troy experience undoubtedly helped Kentucky, South Carolina and Auburn have shown it's also possible to succeed with a freshman quarterback.
Hilinski was the nation's No. 2 pro-style quarterback prospect in his class according to composite rankings of recruiting sites compiled by 247Sports. In his first start, South Carolina beat Charleston Southern 72-10 and set a school single-game record with 775 total yards.
Auburn was the one SEC team that handed its quarterback job to a true freshman before the season. Bo Nix responded by throwing a touchdown pass with nine seconds left to beat No. 15 Oregon in his debut performance.
"He hasn't looked bright-eyed or shook or anything like that at any time," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said.
Those freshmen will face more adversity once they get their first taste of SEC competition.
Consider that Hilinski made his first start against a Football Championship Subdivision program. That didn't quite prepare him for what he will encounter Saturday when South Carolina hosts Alabama.
"You see more and more guys starting younger, and that's a product of offensive systems being simpler for the quarterback because they're going faster, because there's no huddling," Rodgers said. "You don't have to spit out - like I did - 11-12-13 words a couple of times in a row in a huddle and sprint to the line of scrimmage and have checks and protections. They don't ask quarterbacks to do as much, so yeah, I think it's a little easier just from a system standpoint, a plug-and-play standpoint for these guys to get in.
"Now, that doesn't equate to success. Is it easier for them to operate the offense? For sure. But defenses are still complex, especially in the SEC. There are too many good defensive coordinators. At some point, your inexperience is going to show because defenses are going to figure you out."

This post summarises the chapter The pedagogy of mathematical inquiry (Makar, 2012).
What does the pedagogy of mathematical inquiry mean specifically for teachers and learners? This chapter provides an in-depth overview of the key elements of mathematical inquiry pedagogy, what it looks like in a real year 6/7 classroom (ages 10-13) and provides theoretical connections to highlight important implications for teaching and teacher education.
The idea of exploring the question Which bubble gum is best? enthuses students, as they determine the qualities that they value in bubble gum. Benefits of posing mathematical problems through ill-structured questions include opening up ways for students to enter the solution process, providing opportunities for students to negotiate with peers how to address such problems, and presenting a need for students to justify their conclusions using the process they use to answer the question. The inquiry teacher in this chapter mathematises the context of exploring bubble gum to determine which is best and students create mathematical strategies to compare different brands of bubble gum. Four phases provide a framework for teaching and learning mathematics through inquiry: Discover, Devise, Develop and Defend. These phases offer teachers and their students, purposeful ways to navigate mathematically through an inquiry.
The chapter illustrates how one teacher, April Frizzle, conducts an inquiry in her multi-age classroom to find the best bubble gum. Although she initially refers to the experience as "the disaster of the bubble gum experiment!" April reflects on the challenges she has in trying to balance taking control of the lesson, and giving her students the opportunity to develop ways to collect and interpret the data they collect. The author of this chapter is able to summarise the positive experiences that April identifies and how these experiences benefit the learners in April's classroom the next time they encounter a mathematical inquiry. What is the best orange? is a similar inquiry task that the students tackle the following term. It becomes clearer how the struggles from the first inquiry are now beneficial to the teachers and learners and April articulates some transfer between the two units. In particular, April comments on how the inquiry experiences have materialised her students' beliefs about the nature of mathematics and how that changed the way they were now willing to approach problems.
The final sections of the chapter considers theoretically, how the pedagogy of mathematical inquiry aligns with research on teaching and learning mathematics. These links highlight the importance of engaging diverse learners in mathematics and the author refers particularly to a theoretical framework (Harel & Koichu, 2010) that analyses learning through inquiry in three ways: as struggle, as purposeful, and as providing students with repeated opportunities to reason in meaningful ways. Ambiguity in inquiry topics offers a space for students to construct understandings as they struggle to reach their mathematical conclusions. Teachers are required to balance letting students construct their understandings with the need to support and scaffold that learning. The relevance of mathematics becomes important to students when teachers successfully mathematise a problem situation. Meaningful contexts help students see a problem as important to solve and the openness of inquiry questions lets students see there can be more than one way to solve such problems. Over time, engaging with mathematical learning through inquiry presents repeated opportunities to apply and build understandings. Students and their teacher in the class described above transferred "met-before" (McGowena & Tall, 2010) mathematical struggles with the bubblegum unit of understanding the need for measurement, to quantitatively measure the qualitative characteristics of oranges.
Bubblegum and oranges surprisingly presented opportunities for Ms Frizzle to negotiate what a culture of inquiry meant in her classroom, with her students. This illustration may not reflect the habits and norms in your own classroom and this process requires guidance and explicit support. Consider some of the research on this site on developing a culture of inquiry in your classroom, to help you decide upon what you want your mathematical inquiry classroom to look like.

The M18 Power Source, compatible with both M18 Compact and XC Battery Packs, features a powered USB port to charge cell phones, mp3 players, digital cameras, and other portable electronic devices. This adapter is also compatible with M12 Heated Jackets, providing up to 18 hours of continuous heat on a single charge with an XC Battery Pack.
Please update with no switch on/off switch like the m12 for heated gear. Also up the amps on the USB port.
Nice use to charge cell phone or extended battery for my heated jacket .
Very handy I bought this to use in power outage and at the job when the electrion turns the power off because I've already got the Milwaukee batteries so why not use them to charge my phone.
Got powerport about 2 weeks ago.Used it everyday. For coats or phone,Mp3 player. Order another one.
This power port will be excellent to hook up a 18v battery to my jacket for longer heating times.
Great to power everything that has a USB cord. Has kept my phone charged on the job site multiple times.
This item would be so much more useful if it had at least 2 x 2.1A USB ports. Combined with the new high capacity batteries it would be extremely useful on a construction site to charge phones/Mp3s etc.
I have the Power Source accessory in my toolbox at every job site, just in case I'm not close to an outlet (cordless tools for no power sites) or it is a long walk/climb back to the truck. If my phone runs low on power, this device lets me charge up fast! The power output is a USB port, 5 Volts and up to 2.1Amps. Quick recharge of a phone or tablet.
Just be sure to either disconnect the battery from the Power Source or switch it off, when you are finished charging. There is no indication light and it does not auto power off, when the device reaches full charge state.
The M12 Power Source has the same power output, but it does auto power off when full charge of your device is reached. So, a little more user friendly.
Is there a usb to female cord adaptor I can use if I want to use a corded tool with my battery's . That would be great if I didn't have power to use my corded tools.
BEST ANSWER: The power output of the USB port of this device is limited to only 10 to 12 watts of DC, . Any 'corded' tool would require well over 100 watts, as well as requiring 120 voltsAC. This will NOT work for your application as you describe it.
Does this product actually hold a charge? If so, how many Ah? I assume it does not. It is a transformer from 18v to 5v USB, correct?
How many mA does the USB port provide?
output or a lower voltage.
It is just a transformer. You need to put it on top of a battery (m18) and then plug in a usb. On my phone, charges it pretty quick, and doesn't drain the battery at all.
It is just a transformer. You need to put it on top of a battery (m18) and then plug in a usb.
It is 18v but it safely powers the jacket and had a USB port for charging your phone.
Is there a belt clip that you can buy for the 18v batteries because I do not like the felling with it in the pocket.
my son-in-law has the heated jacket I hear him say he wants to convert his m12 to m18 is this the adapter I need to buy him.
BEST ANSWER: Sorry nobody answered your question in a timely manner. Great site for prices but customer service can be a pain sometimes.
To answer your question, yes! This is what is used to use the M18 battery with Milwaukee's Heat Gear.
What is the actual output of the port, voltage and amperage?
What is that side hole for?
BEST ANSWER: The hole on the side is what the heated jackets use to connect to the power port.
Is there an M18 power port that would provide an 18 volt DC output? I would like to use the M18 battery to power a G Gauge outdoor model train locomotive. I need the full 18 Volts DC.

Die Schärenflotte (), offiziell Flotte der Armee (schwedisch arméns flotta) genannt, war eine Teilstreitkraft der schwedischen Armee zwischen 1756 und 1823. Sie wurde auf Initiative des Kommandanten der Festung Sveaborg Augustin Ehrensvärd gegründet. Sie sollte die Armee bei Landungsoperationen unterstützen, die Flanken der Landstreitkräfte und die schwedische Küste schützen, die von vielen kleinen Inseln, den Schären, umgeben ist. Die Marineformation war während ihrer Existenz größtenteils unabhängig von Armee und Marine, mit Ausnahme eines kurzen Zeitraumes Ende der 1760er Jahre.

Ihr Schiffsbestand umfasste kleinere Galeeren, Prame, Kanonenboote und spezielle Fregatten (schwedisch Skärgårdsfregatt), die einen geringen Tiefgang besaßen und mit Rudern bewegt werden konnten. Dadurch waren sie in der Lage, in den flachen und unübersichtlichen Inselgewässern zu navigieren.

Die Schärenflotte nahm an Seeschlachten im Siebenjährigen Krieg (1756–1763), in den Russisch-Schwedischen Kriegen (1788–1790) und (1808–1809), im Dänisch-Schwedischen Krieg (1808–1809) und Schwedisch-Norwegischen Krieg (1814) teil.

Galeerenkriegsflotten dieser Art besaßen auch Streitkräfte anderer Staaten, darunter Norwegen und Russland.

Geschichte

Die Aufstellung dieser besonderen Flotte kleinerer Fahrzeuge resultierte aus den Erfahrungen des Großen Nordischen Krieges (1700–1721). Die Verwüstungen entlang der schwedischen Küste zeigten die Schwierigkeiten auf, insbesondere Finnland gegen eine russische Flotte von Ruderfahrzeugen zu verteidigen. Sie liefen innerhalb der Schären nicht in Gefahr, von schwedischen Linienschiffen angegriffen zu werden. Im 18. Jahrhundert wurde deutlich, dass die Beherrschung der Schären mit ihren engen Fahrwassern die Möglichkeiten Truppen im Rücken des Gegners anzulanden sowie Verbindungswege und Versorgungstransporte abzuschneiden erheblich verbesserte. Mit Errichtung der Marinebasis Kronstadt stand die russische Galeerenflotte nahe der schwedischen Reichsgrenze und den finnischen Schären. Die schwedischen Flottenbasen, insbesondere die Hauptbasis in Karlskrona, lagen strategisch abgeschlagen und offenbarten die Notwendigkeit der Aufstellung einer Schärenflotte und eines Eskadrehafens in Finnland.

Nach dem Frieden von Nystad 1721 beschloss die schwedische Führung, die Kriegsflotte mit einer größeren Anzahl Galeeren auszustatten. Sie wurden in Skeppsholmen stationiert und Stockholms eskadern (Geschwader Stockholm) genannt. Mit Beginn des Russisch-Schwedischen Krieges (1741–1743) bewiesen die russischen Galeeren erneut ihre Überlegenheit im Schärengebiet. Nun intensivierten sich die Anstrengungen, eine eigene Galeerenflotte aufzustellen. 1750 war die Anzahl dieser Schiffe auf 60 gestiegen, die nach dem Vorbild mediterraner Galeeren konstruiert worden waren. Am 18. Oktober 1756 wurde eine offizielle Flotte geschaffen, die dem Krigskollegium, der höchsten Leitung der schwedischen Armeeverwaltung, unterstand und daher auch als Flotte der Armee bezeichnet wurde. Sie bestand aus den Geschwadern Stockholm und Finnland. Als Kommandeur wurde General Augustin Ehrensvärd eingesetzt. Die Galeeren wurden vorerst von der Kriegsmarine separiert, ihr aber am 8. Oktober 1766 mit der Machtübernahme der Hattarne erneut unterstellt. Nachdem ein Machtwechsel zu den Mössorna stattgefunden hatte, erfolgte am 2. Januar 1770 auf königliche Anweisung die Wiederaufstellung der Finnischen Eskadre in der Armee unter Ehrensvärds Kommando. Das Stockholmer Geschwader verblieb unter dem Namen Galeerenflotte in der Kriegsmarine. Unter Gustav III. wurden am 14. November 1776 die Galeerenflotte und die Finnische Eskadre wieder zur Flotte der Armee zusammengefasst und als Schwedische Eskadre der Flotte der Armee sowie Finnische Eskadre der Flotte der Armee benannt. Jedes Geschwader stand unter dem Kommando eines Vizechefs im Rang eines Obersten. Als Nachfolger Ehrensvärds wurde Henrik af Trolle als Kommandeur der Flotte der Armee eingesetzt. Strategische Entscheidungen wurden auf Armeebefehl getroffen während ein Seeoffizier das Kommando auf jedem Schiff führte. 1760 erhielt die Schärenflotte eine eigene Flagge, die im Gegensatz zur Flagge der Kriegsmarine komplett blau war. Die Bezeichnung der Dienstgrade und Verbände wurde aus der Armee übernommen. Die Hauptbasen der Flotte lagen in Stockholm und Sveaborg, während sich kleinere Stützpunkte in Göteborg (Bohus-Geschwader, 1789), Stralsund (Pommern-Schwadron, 1807 nach Landskrona verlegt) und Åbo (Finnisches Geschwader) sowie einigen weiteren kleineren Orten in Finnland befanden. Um die Galeerenflotte zu schützen, wurden in den 1750er Jahren auf den Stützpunkten Stockholm und Karlskrona spezielle sogenannte Galeerenschuppen errichtet, während die Schiffe in Sveaborg in Docks gesichert wurden. Der bedeutendste Fahrzeugkonstrukteur der Schärenflotte jener Zeit war Fredrik Henrik af Chapman (1721–1808), der 1772 für seine Verdienste geadelt wurde.

1786 umfasste die Schwedische Eskadre 31 Galeeren, die Finnische Eskadre 16 größere und 65 kleinere Fahrzeuge. Während des Russisch-Schwedischen Krieges (1788–1790) wurde der Ausbau der Schärenflotte stark beschleunigt. Die Qualität der schwedischen Hochseeflotte war in etwa vergleichbar mit der russischen und sie war in Anzahl und Größe der Schiffe überlegen. Die Aufgabe der Schärenflotte bestand in der Interaktion mit den Landstreitkräften, dem Schutz ihrer Flanken, der Erleichterung von Truppenbewegungen und ihrer Unterstützung bei offensiven Operationen. Die Flotte schaffte es nicht den endgültigen Sieg zu erringen und erlitt einige anfängliche Rückschläge, darunter eine taktische Niederlage gegen die russische Küstenflotte bei Svensksund im August 1789. Sie bereitete ihr aber am 9. Juli 1790 in einer zweiten Schlacht von Svensksund eine vernichtende Niederlage. Die Erfahrungen des Krieges gegen Russland zeigten, dass den schweren Schärenfregatten die nötige Mobilität für Küstenoperationen fehlte, während sich kleinere geruderte Schiffe als effizienter erwiesen.

Die Schärenflotte war stark im Russisch-Schwedischen Krieg (1808–1809) vertreten, allerdings weniger erfolgreich. Russland griff die schwedischen Streitkräfte in Finnland im Winter war, sodass Eis den Einsatz von Marinekräften auf beiden Seiten verhinderte. Früh ging Sveaborg, ein Eckpfeiler der finnischen Verteidigung, samt dem Großteil des Finnischen Geschwaders verloren. Weitere Schiffe der Schärenflotte wurden in den Docks von Åbo von den Schweden wegen der drohenden Eroberung selbst angezündet. Der Verlust des größten Teils des Schärenflotte verhinderte die Wiedererlangung des schwedischen Vorteils in den finnischen Schären. Der Krieg endete mit einem Friedensvertrag zu Ungunsten Schwedens, das ganz Finnland an Russland verlor.

In der letzten Phase der Napoleonischen Kriege war Schweden mit Großbritannien gegen Napoleon Bonaparte vereint und nahm an Schlachten in Zentraleuropa teil. Die Schärenflotte wurde 1814 in einem kurzen Krieg gegen Norwegen eingesetzt, um strategische Festungen und Stützpunkte zu erobern und Norwegen in eine Union mit Schweden zu zwingen. Es war der letzte Krieg, an dem Schweden aktiv teilnahm.

Nach der Vereinigung mit der Kriegsflotte wurde die Schärenflotte 1823 aufgelöst. Sie bestand aber faktisch weiterhin als Schärenartillerie bis 1866 fort, die ihrerseits 1873 mit der Kriegsflotte zusammengefasst wurde.

Mannschaft
Im Jahr 1790 setzte sich die Mannschaft aus 320 Offizieren, 675 Unteroffizieren und etwa 6000 Mannschaften zusammen. Die Schiffe standen sowohl unter Marine- als auch Armeekommando. Marineoffiziere waren für den Borddienst und die Schiffsführung zuständig, Armeeoffiziere kommandierten die Armeesoldaten einschließlich der Marineinfanterie. Des Weiteren dienten neben den Seeoffizieren Unteroffiziere, Freiwillige und Schiffsjungen an Bord, deren hauptsächliche Aufgabe in der Bedienung der Schiffsartillerie bestand. Die Unteroffiziere wurden in drei Dienstgruppen eingeteilt: Artilleristen, Navigatoren und Bootsleute. Da die Schiffe der Flotte sowohl gesegelt als auch gerudert werden konnten, waren zahlreiche Armeesoldaten als Ruderer erforderlich. 1790 waren es etwa 7000. Während des Krieges 1808 bis 1809, als die Armee alle verfügbaren Soldaten benötigte, wurden auch Landwehrverbände sowie Bootsleute der Handelsflotte der Schärenflotte unterstellt.

Flottenfahrzeuge
1790 bestand die Flotte aus 265 bewaffneten Fahrzeugen. Die wichtigsten Fahrzeugtypen waren Galeeren, Schärenfregatten, Kanonenschaluppen, Kanonenjollen, Mörserbarkassen, Kanonenbarkassen, Artillerieprahme und Kanonenschoner. 1809 setzte sich beispielsweise die Eskadre von Sveaborg aus
 zwei Hemmemas
 20 Kanonenschaluppen
 51 Kanonenbooten
 vier Kanonenbarkassen
 einer Kutterbrigg
 einer Avisjacht
 vier Bataillonschefsfahrzeugen
 zwei Kochschaluppen
 drei Wasserschuten,

und die Eskadre von Åbo aus
 24 Kanonenschaluppen
 acht Kanonenbooten
 zwei Kanonenbarkassen
 zwei Bataillonschefsfahrzeugen
 drei Kochschaluppen
 einer Wasserschute
 einem Krankentransportschiff
 einem Munitionsfahrzeug

zusammen.

Galeere

Die schwedischen Galeeren waren Zweimaster. Sie kombinierten die Fortbewegung durch Ruder und Segel. Im Feuergefecht machten sie keine Fahrt voraus und die Segel wurden gestrichen. Ihre Länge über alles variierte zwischen 30 und 39 m, die Breite betrug 5,4 m und der Tiefgang 1,8 m. Sie besaßen nur ein Deck. Der Großmast befand sich mittschiffs und war 16 m lang. Der Fockmast war etwas kürzer (15 m). Auf der Back wurde eine Kanone platziert. Unter den Aufbauten des Achterschiffes befand sich eine Kajüte für den Kommandanten. Das Deck darüber fungierte als Kommandobrücke und Kampfplattform, die mit Soldaten für den Nahkampf bemannt wurde. Die Mannschaftsunterkunft zwischen Back und Kajüte war offen. Bei Bedarf wurden die Segel abgeschlagen und dienten als Schutz gegen Wetter und Wind.

Die Galeere war mit Ruderbänken sowie 20 bis 22 Riemenpaaren ausgerüstet. Jedes Ruder, das 12 m lang war, wurde von fünf bis zehn Mann bedient. Dadurch wurde eine große Besatzung von 250 Ruderern erforderlich. Insgesamt konnten sich bis zu 300 Personen an Bord befinden, die beispielsweise im Jahr 1770 unter dem Kommando von einem Leutnant (Kommandant) und 7 Unteroffizieren (3 Steuerleute, 1 Bootsmann, 3 Artilleristen) standen. Die Marschgeschwindigkeit unter Rudern betrug etwa 1,5 bis 2 kn, unter Segeln und Rudern etwa 3 kn. Die Bewaffnung bestand aus zwei Kanonen von entweder 18 oder 24 Pfund oder aus einem 24-Pfünder und zwei 6-Pfündern. Daneben waren sie mit Drehbassen bestückt. Mit den Kanonen, die nur voraus schießen konnten, hatten es die Fahrzeuge schwer, sich gegen Schiffe mit größerer Feuerkraft zu behaupten. Dieser Nachteil erzwang die Entwicklung eines neuen Fahrzeugtyps. Nach 1745 wurde nur sehr wenige neue Galeeren gebaut.

Es wurden auch einige kleinere Galeeren, sogenannte Halbgaleeren, hergestellt. Sie waren etwa 22 m lang und hatten einen Tiefgang von 1,4 m. Ihr Rigg bestand aus nur einem Lateinersegel. Sie führten 16 bis 18 Riemenpaare, die von je drei Mann bedient wurden. Ihre Bewaffnung bestand aus einer 6-pfündigen Kanone auf der Back und 16 Drehbassen. Die Galeere übernahm primär Aufklärungsaufgaben.

Schärenfregatte

Die dreimastige Schärenfregatte wurde ab 1760 gebaut und von Fredrik Henrik af Chapman entworfen. Dieses schlagkräftige Fahrzeug in der Größe einer Fregatte gab es in vier verschiedenen Klassen: Udema, Pojama, Turuma und Hemmema. Die Typenbezeichnung entsprach dem Namen finnischer Landschaften (Nyland, Österbotten, Åboland und Tavastland). Die hochseetauglichen Schiffe hatten ein oder zwei Decks und konnten gerudert werden. Im Gegensatz zu den Galeeren konnte die Besatzung unter Deck in Hängematten schlafen. Ihre weiterentwickelte Artillerie stand mittschiffs und war in der Lage, in beide Richtungen zu schießen. Außerdem waren sie wie die Schiffe der Seekriegsflotte Breitseitenfahrzeuge. Der Nachteil des Schiffes war sein relativ großer Tiefgang sowie das für die Bedienung das Riggs notwendige gut ausgebildete Personal. Der Tiefgang erlaubte nur eine durchschnittliche Rudergeschwindigkeit von etwa einem halben Knoten. Die Länge der Schiffe lag zwischen 23,8 und 35,6 m, die Breite zwischen 5,5 und 10 m und der Tiefgang zwischen 1,8 und 3,1 m. Zur Fortbewegung standen neben den Segeln 14 bis 16 Riemenpaare zur Verfügung.

Kanonenschaluppe
Kanonenschaluppen konnten sowohl gesegelt als auch gerudert werden. Sie hatten zwei legbare Masten und waren mit 10 Riemenpaaren ausgerüstet von denen jeder Riemen von zwei Mann bedient wurde. Die 15,6 m lange und 3,9 m breite Schaluppe mit nur 90 cm Tiefgang war leicht zu manövrieren und konnte mit bis zu 63 Mann Besatzung bei einer Verdrängung von 46 t eine Geschwindigkeit von bis zu 2,5 kn erreichen. Für die Besatzung gab es keinen Wetterschutz. Das Artilleriefeuer konnte nur über den Vorsteven abgegeben werden.

Die Kanonenschaluppenverbände wurden für Angriffs-, Verteidigungs-, Aufklärungs- und Sicherheitsaufgaben verwendet. Ihre Kampftaktik war mit der Rolle der Kavallerie an Land vergleichbar. Sie konnten ebenso Landbatterien bilden, wofür bestimmte Schaluppen spezielle Lafetten mitführten. Die Boote ursprünglich entweder mit einem 18- oder 12-Pfünder ausgerüstet, später erhielten sie zwei 24-Pfünder im Vor- und Achterschiff. Die ersten Schaluppen wurden 1776 hergestellt und spielten eine wichtige Rolle im Russisch-Schwedischen Krieg (1788–1790). 1790 existierten 127 Boote. Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden auch gedeckte Kanonenschaluppen gebaut. Sie waren größer als ihre Vorgänger und konnten in der offenen See eingesetzt werden. Im Jahr 1770 standen sie unter dem Kommando eines Leutnants oder Fähnrichs sowie eines Artillerieunteroffiziers.

Kanonenjolle
Kanonenjollen kamen 1786 im Finnischen Geschwader zur Anwendung. Bis 1790 wurden 90 Boote gebaut, die bevorzugt im Russisch-Schwedischen Krieg (1808–1809) eingesetzt wurden. Damit die schwimmende Lafette mit einer schweren Kanone beim Schießen den Rückstoß besser aufnehmen konnte, wurde der Rumpf mit einem Achtersteven auf 3,25 m verlängert. Die 11 bis 15,3 m lange Jolle hatte 75 cm Tiefgang und besaß einen legbaren Mast. 24 Mann bedienten das mit 5 bis 10 Riemenpaaren ausgerüstete, segelbare Boot. Es stand unter dem Kommando eines Artillerieunteroffiziers. Achtern befand sich ein 18- oder 24-Pfünder, der nur in Stevenrichtung feuern konnte.

Mörserbarkasse
Mörserbarkassen waren mit einem 40-pfündigen Mörser und vier Drehbassen bestückt. Sie fanden primär Anwendung beim Beschuss von Landzielen oder Fahrzeugen, die im Schutz von Inseln lagen. Die 10 m langen Boote wurden mit sieben Paar Riemen bewegt.

Kanonenbarkasse
Die Kanonenbarkasse war ein schonergetakeltes Fahrzeug mit einer Länge von 12,6 m. Sie hatte einen Tiefgang von 1,2 m und konnte mit 8 Riemenpaaren gerudert oder auch gesegelt werden. Die Bewaffnung bestand aus einem 12-Pfünder und 16 Drehbassen.

Artillerieprahm
Die Artillerieprahme waren Breitseitenfahrzeuge. Sie besaßen drei Masten. Der Fockmast maß 18,5 m, der Großmast 20,5 m und der Besanmast 17 m. Zu einem Artillerieprahm gehörten ein Beiboot und eine Schaluppe. Sieben Riemenpaare wurden zwischen den Geschützpforten platziert, die 1,35 m über der Wasserlinie lagen. Über ihnen gab es mehrere Schießscharten für Musketenschützen. Die typischen Maße eines Prahms waren 38 m Länge, 9,9 m Breite und ein Tiefgang von 2,7 m. Die Fahrzeuge konnten gesegelt oder mit 8 Riemenpaaren gerudert werden. Ihre Bewaffnung bestand aus 24 12-Pfündern sowie 16 4-Pfündern. Auf der beim Besanmast befindlichen Kajüte waren ebenfalls zwei Kanonen aufgestellt, die bei Bedarf längsschiffs schießen konnten. Die Besatzung bestand aus etwa 250 bis 400 Mann, die unter dem Kommando eines Kapitäns, zweier Leutnants und von acht Unteroffizieren standen. Artillerieprahme waren schwerfällig und langsam.

Eye On Business: Miss Mo's Vegan Kitchen offers personal chef services, pop-up restaurants, in East Toronto
Monica Kelly, and her son Axel, of Miss Mo's Vegan Kitchen.
By FIONA BRAMZELL
There is an intrinsic link between food and love – indeed, food that has been made with love somehow always tastes better.
For Monica Kelly, local chef and owner of Miss Mo's Vegan Kitchen, love is at the core of everything she makes and when it comes to food – in particular, vegan food – her passion for the subject is undeniable.
Growing up with an Acadian mother who shared both her love of good food and a nurturing nature, Kelly learned early on just how powerful the act of cooking and feeding those you love really is.
When her mother passed away in 2017, she became more determined than ever to realise their "pipe dream" of opening a family-run, comfort food café, something they'd both talked about over the years.
Despite being raised in a household of meat eaters, Kelly made the decision over nine years ago to become fully vegan and she's never looked back.
"While my choice was largely because I'm a huge animal lover and empath, the difference in how I felt after becoming vegan was amazing," she said.
"I felt like a new person – the brain fog I'd been experiencing disappeared, I felt lighter and had so much more energy."
And, while she fully respects everyone's choice to eat what they want, showing people just how amazing vegan food can be was one of the driving forces behind her catering business.
As well as being vegan, all Kelly's dishes are gluten and corn free, a decision that was prompted by the discovery four years ago that her son Axel, now 20 and also involved in the business, had a serious intolerance to both substances.
Not only did a gluten-free (and subsequently corn-free) diet make a huge difference to her son's health, but it forced Kelly to become even more creative in the kitchen, a challenge which, like most other things in her life, she took in her stride.
For Kelly though, cooking for friends and family wasn't enough – she wanted to share her food on a larger scale. Without the means to open her own place, the ever-resourceful chef did what she could to get her food out there, posting her creations on Facebook, offering her personal chef services and sometimes even inviting folk to come on over to her place to grab some freshly baked vegan cookies.
She also recognized the need to learn as much as she could about the business side of things and took several business and food enterprise courses, in addition to joining networking groups such as Canadian Women in Food.
With two successful pop-up restaurant events now under her belt – one at the Bain Co-op and the other at the Ralph Thornton Centre – Kelly has her sights firmly set on growing the business to the point where she realizes that dream of having a small café, while also staying true to her love of the east end.
"I grew up in this area, and it's important to me that I support other local businesses and causes I believe in," she said.
For Kelly this means buying all her supplies from local vendors, donating 10 per cent of her profits to animal charities and, as the proud mom of her transgender son, being an advocate for the LBGTQ+ community – when she eventually opens her café it will be a gender-neutral, safe space where everyone feels welcome.
"I truly believe in acceptance and inclusivity, and that, through food, we can all find a common ground. At the end of the day, it's just about love," Kelly said.

County planners back addition for Aldi in Medina
By Tom Rivers, Editor Posted 14 December 2018 at 8:47 am
ALBION – The Aldi grocery store on Maple Ridge Road in Medina is planning a 2,062-square-foot expansion on the front side of the building.
The Orleans County Planning Board on Thursday voted in favor of the site plan for the project at 11248 Maple Ridge Rd. The application goes to the Town of Shelby Planning Board for a final OK.
The store expansion will occur within the existing parking area and sidewalks, and will add more space for groceries and also backroom storage, the company said in its application. The current building is 16,567 square feet.
The company anticipates construction in April-May 2019.
The number of parking spaces will be reduced from 89 to 87, which is more than the town's requirement of at least one for every 300 square feet of gross floor area, or a minimum of 62 for the expanded store.
In other action at Thursday's County Planning Board meeting:
• The board recommended the Town of Barre approve an area variance, site plan and special use permit for a pole barn at 4627 Oak Orchard Rd., which is in the General Business District.
Susan Sherman of Pavilion will run a business, Rice's Country Haven Modification, from the site.
Sherman also plans to replace an existing mobile home with a new one.
She needs a 40-foot front setback variance for the pole barn, so it would be 35 feet away from the road instead of 75 feet. The Planning Board said the variance is needed for the pole barn to be in an accessible area.
• Recommended the Town of Shelby approve the site plan and special use permit for a riding arena at 11205 West Shelby Rd. in the Agricultural/Residential District.
Haleigh Clarke has proposed a 9,800-square-foot building that would 140 by 70 feet.

Community welcome for East Shelby church's old-fashioned Christmas on Sunday
Provided photos: The Morse family donated a 35-foot high Christmas tree, which has been decorated inside the East Shelby Community Bible Church.
By Ginny Kropf, correspondent Posted 6 December 2018 at 8:07 am
A seamstress works on her handicraft last year at the Old Fashioned Christmas sponsored by East Shelby Community Bible Church. This year's event on Sunday will follow an old-fashioned church service at 10:30 a.m.
EAST SHELBY – The East Shelby Community Bible Church will sponsor its annual Old Fashioned Christmas from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
The festive day will have a very special feature this year. The celebration is designed to give visitors the true meaning of Christmas and will follow an old-fashioned Christmas service at 10:30 a.m. in the historic church, with a giant Christmas tree donated by Stephen and Patricia Morse of Medina.
In 1992, the Morse's daughter got a sapling with a McDonald's Happy Meal. Her folks planted it in the garden at the front corner of their house, where it has been growing all these years.
The Morse's have become dedicated followers of the East Shelby Church, where they sit in the front pew every Sunday. They decided to donate the 35-foot tree for the church's Christmas celebration, where it sits proudly, all covered with festive lights and ornaments.
The day will feature a Christmas concert by the church's band, known as the Band of Renown, followed by swag and garland making, demonstrations of old-time handicrafts, Dickens-style Christmas caroling in the miniature village of West Jackson Corners, horse and buggy rides, sampling of foods cooked over an open fire, kids' crafts and hot chocolate and other Christmas treats.
A visit from Santa at 4 p.m. will conclude the day.
Pastor Erik Olsen leads the signing of Christmas carols during last year's Old Fashioned Christmas celebration in West Jackson Corners, the miniature village built by the East Shelby Community Bible Church. This year's celebration will take place from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday at the church at 5278 East Shelby Rd.

SHELBY – Some members of the Metro 10 race committee presented a check for $4,018 to the Warrior House, the largest donation from the Metro 10 since it started in 2015.
Pictured from left include Peter Zeliff, founder of the Warrior House; race director Thom Jennings and Warrior House volunteer; and race committee members Erin Smith and Wayne Litchfield.
Metro 10 hosted about 300 participants in Albion for the fourth annual race on Aug. 18, pitting runners from Rochester and Buffalo. This year's event also included a biking component for the first time.
The race has now donated over $7,000 to the Warrior House in the past three years.
The Warrior House is a hunting retreat in West Shelby for wounded veterans. Zeliff donates use of a farmhouse and property on Salt Works Road for veterans. The site hosted six veterans this past weekend for a deer hunt.
Scout completes ambitious Eagle service project

EAST SHELBY – Eli Pask spent 15 months doing improvement projects at the East Shelby Cemetery on Trench Road.
Pask, 15, is a member of the Boy Scout Troop 175 in West Barre. He completed his Eagle service project last month. He needs to go before the Board of Review before he gets the Eagle.
Eli, a sophomore at Albion, has been in Scouts since early in elementary school. He works in the summer at Camp Sam Wood in Pike and Camp Dittmer in Phelps, teaching outdoor skills.
He attends the East Shelby Community Bible Church, where many members help with the cemetery near the church. Eli's grandfather, Erik Olsen, is the church pastor. He suggested the cemetery could use some improvements.
Eli Pask, Jeff Andrews and other Scouts help reset gravestones that had toppled over. They needed to dig by the stones to level out the ground so they could be reset.
These gravestones from the 1830s didn't have a concrete base. One of them was laying face up in the grass. Eli made the concrete bases and set in the gravestones.
"They deserved to be put back," he said.
Kevin Feder, a middle school teacher, helped Eli with the roof and trim on a utility shed late in the summer 2017. Eli tore off the old shingles and put on new ones. He also added new trim boards. Eli has worked with Feder on the stage crew at the school musicals, helping with set construction.
"I told him what I was doing at the cemetery and he offered to help," Eli said.
Eli put down a brick patio area and made two benches back to back out of concrete. It was a big project. He made the forms and poured in the concrete and then added the wooden slats. There are two large stone boulders nearby that Eli and his father Kevin Pask moved to the cemetery from a nearby field.
Eli sits on a bench at the cemetery. They were the last of his tasks over 15 months at the cemetery.
Eli said he will remain active in his troop in the coming years, helping younger scouts earn their merit badges.
"I enjoy it," he said about scouting. "There is lots of support from everyone around me. It still has great values and I've enjoyed my journey thus far."
Long-range plan calls for expanding Medina Business Park by 1,000 acres

MEDINA – The Western Orleans Comprehensive Plan has eyes on the future for the villages of Medina and Lyndonville, and the towns of Shelby, Ridgeway and Yates.
Municipal leaders from the those five municipalities have been working on updating the comprehensive plan for about 18 months. The final document was approved by the committee and now the five municipalities are having public hearings on the plan, with each municipality needing to vote to accept the changes for the plan to be official as a guide for future zoning and community priorities.
Courtesy of the Orleans EDA: This map shows the 300 acres for the Medina Business Park and the Keppler Site near Maple Ridge Road. A comprehensive plan calls for expanding the business park south and adding 1,067 acres that could be used for businesses.
The Shelby Town Board had a hearing last Wednesday and discussed how the plan would impact the town.
The biggest change would be expanding the Medina Business Park by 1,067 acres south on Route 63 past Sanderson Road. That expansion would be south of the Keppler site, where the current Medina Business Park ends. The Business Park already has about 300 vacant acres.
"These are visions of the future, not guarantees," Ed Houseknecht, the Shelby town supervisor, said during a public hearing.
The municipalities sent out surveys to 5,500 people and more business and job opportunities was a frequent high priority for respondents.
If the land was to become available for development, it would likely be a gradual process. The municipalities and Orleans Economic Development Agency would need to work to have infrastructure, zoning and other issues resolved to entice a company to that area.
"It doesn't have to happen all right away," said Jim Bensley, the county's director of planning and development.
That county department worked with the three towns and two villages on updating the plan, which would replace one that was last updated in 2002.
"This is a blueprint for where you want to go in the future," Bensley said.
The plan calls for greater walkability and improved sidewalks in the village, and better walkways along Maple Ridge Road, which has added several new businesses and the Genesee Community College campus center since the plan was last updated 16 years ago.
That road with its increasing traffic may need more turning lanes. Bensley said the local leaders are pushing for turning lane studies from the state Department of Transportation.
The plan also calls for an improved walkway and bikeway at Butts Park, especially near the Oak Orchard Creek.
Andina Barone of the Mindful Media Group said the plan should also address climate change and that anticipated impact on the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge could face increased droughts. A proposal by Frontier Stone for a new quarry near the refuge calls for pumping water to the refuge and helping to manage the water flows.
Barone, whose company works for Frontier, said the quarry would help prevent the marshes from drying up.
She also said the comprehensive plan should give farmers more freedom with their land, especially with using solar energy and pursuing other business opportunities.
The survey showed that high property taxes were a top concern for residents, Barone said at the hearing.
Knights-Kaderli event remains successful fund-raiser for Orleans County residents fighting cancer

EAST SHELBY – The 30th annual Knights-Kaderli Walk/Run will probably be their most successful yet, Sue Knights said Saturday, as she checked the number of participants.
There were 201 runners and walkers who signed up for the event, said Dawn Meland, who volunteered at the registration desk.
"I think people held off when it was raining so hard this morning, but when it stopped, they came out," she said.
Walkers are off Saturday morning as the gun sounded to start the 30th annual Knights-Kaderli Walk/Run to benefit cancer patients and their families in Orleans County .
The race is named for two Medina residents, Richard Knights and Sue Kaderli, both of whom died of cancer. Each of their families started fundraisers in their names, and then decided to join forces.
Since its inception, the Knights-Kaderli fund has assisted 575 cancer patients and/or their families, Knights said.
"This year alone, we have given $62,000 to help Orleans County residents who are battling cancer," she said.
These six friends participated in the Knights-Kaderli Run/Walk Saturday as a show of support for several in their church who are fighting cancer. From left are Mary Zangerle, Carol Bellack, Robin Wehling, Jan Toale, Bev Woodward and Judy Hipes.
The annual event brings people from throughout the area, such as the Gary and Karen Barber family of Brockport and the Jay and Julie Mersdorf family of Webster.
Son Brett Mersdorf and Karen ran the race, while Julie, Jay and Gary walked and ran with the younger kids, including Paxton Barber, 2, who pedaled his little kiddie car.
"We would have come rain or shine," Julie said.
Chris and Stephanie McAdoo pushed their 1-year-old daughter Alana in her stroller in the Knights-Kaderli Walk Saturday morning. They usually run, but Chris has his arm in a sling, so they'll be a little slower this year, he said.
They also take part in the David Millis Golf Tournament each year at Batavia Country Club, whose proceeds are donated to the Knights-Kaderli Fund, Julie said.
"We started the golf tournament as a little fun thing in honor of our dad, who died of pancreatic cancer," she said. "In 11 years, it has grown to where we have donated more than $130,000 to the Knights-Kaderli Fund."
Both Karen and Julie attended Lyndonville school together and when they grew up and heard about the Knights-Kaderli Fund, they liked what they saw, Karen said.
"With the Knights-Kaderli Fund, all the money stays in Orleans County and goes right back to someone who needs it," she said.

SHELBY – Linda Strickland, administrator of the Orleans County Christian School, is pictured at the school's new home, the Alabama Full Gospel Fellowship on Route 63 in Shelby.
After 17 years at the old Medina High School, the school moved to the Alabama Full Gospel site this school year.
"The church has been very accommodating," Strickland said. "Everybody has had very open arms and been accepting."
The old Medina High School was the home of Calvary Tabernacle Assembly of God, which sold the old school and is building a new site. The old high school will be developed into apartments.
The Christian school opened in 1996, and its first five years were in Albion at Harvest Christian Fellowship.
There have been 32 graduates from the school, now in its 23rd year.
The hallway has cubbies for students.
Strickland said the curriculum has a faith-based component. There are currently 19 students in grades 2-12. The students thrive in the small-school environment, she said.
"It's a comfortable place for them to learn," Strickland said. "Here they can be themselves."
The staff and students have a prayer in the morning and a chapel once a week, with a pastor from the community. Tim Lindsay, pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship, led the chapel service last week.
Several local churches sponsor the school, which is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International. The Medina Central School also provides a letter of equivalency for the students who earn local diplomas. Strickland said that allows students to be eligible for funding if they pursue college.

SHELBY – Saturday's event at the Warrior House in support of veterans was a resounding success, and the second in which ABATE motorcycle club participated.
Ed Spence of Oakfield, former Northeast director of Operation Injured Soldier, and Peter Zeliff Jr. of Middleport organized the day, which began with a motorcycle run from Medina's VFW, and ended back at the Warrior House, a farmhouse on Salt Works Road donated by Zeliff as a retreat for veterans. There, the more than 230 who registered for the motorcycle run, local veterans and supporters from the community gathered to listen to several bands, enjoy a pig roast and support a huge basket raffle.
To conclude the day, members of the Medina VFW, American Legion, their Honor Guard and the Patriot Guard participated in a patriotic ceremony, which included playing of Taps, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, a 21-gun salute and the proper folding of an American flag which had been draped on a casket.
The casket and flag are part of a float created by the VFW and American Legion for local parades and celebrations.
Todd Wilcox of Medina is a road captain for ABATE, who said the event was very successful.
"Last year, we raised more than $13,000, and this year is going to top that," he said.
A sea of motorcycles filled the yard of the Warrior House on Salt Works Road, Medina, during Saturday's Cycle Run/Pig Roast/ Basket Raffle event to honor veterans. The day was part of a weekend of special activities, which began early in the morning with a goose hunt.
Wilcox's wife Beverly was in charge of the basket raffle. She said support of that was phenomenal, with everyone she asked willing to donate a basket.
Saturday's celebration was part of a two-day event, which included a goose hunt early each morning.
Artist Carol Culhane of Albion brought the Purple Heart ornaments she designed for wounded veterans.
Artist Carol Culhane and her husband Gerry had a booth set up with the ornaments she originally designed for wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Hospital.
Gerry is a Vietnam veteran, which is one of the reasons Carol has been a longtime supporter of veterans. The couple is hoping to have a hunt at their home in Gaines.
Seven veterans from across New York state were hosted at the Warrior House for the weekend. One was Floyd Hurlburt of Watertown, an Army veteran who was based at Fort Drum.
"I come on these hunts and help where I can," he said. "I love the concept here."
Shawn Latour of Schenectady first came to the Warrior House last year for a goose hunt and a deer hunt with bow. He was eager to return again.
"It piqued my interest," Latour said. "I really had fun."
He served with the U.S. Army from 1988 to 1991 during Operation Desert Storm and in Germany.
The day was a fruitful one for Donna Bushover of West Shelby, who came with her son Randy, who is news director at WBEN Radio.
Donna was looking to donate her late husband David's wheelchair, and really wanted a veteran to have it.
She met up with Spence, who told her he knew of a very ill veteran in the area who needed a wheelchair immediately.

While Donna's husband was not a veteran, her brother Robert Burgess of Attica and brother-in-law Lee Buckland of Attica are Navy veterans and her niece's husband of Attica is an Air Force veteran.
She was happy to know the wheelchair would stay in Orleans County.
In one final presentation, Dan Anderson, commander of the Medina VFW, presented a check for $1,000 to Spence to help maintain the Warrior House.

Warrior House plans busy weekend on Sept. 14-15

Kneeling before the helmet, rifle and boots of a deceased soldier is how a soldier pays tribute to a fallen comrade, as depicted in this statue on the lawn of the Warrior House.
SHELBY – It may not look like much – an old farmhouse surrounded by cornfields.
But to the veterans who get to come there, it is a paradise.
The home on Salt Works Road is called the Warrior House where, on Sept. 14 and 15, a weekend of events has been planned for a handful of veterans.
After purchasing the farm on Salt Works Road, Pete Zeliff Jr. knew he didn't want the farmhouse. It didn't take him long to find a use for the old home.
Zeliff knew Joe Pionessa of Oakfield, who in turn introduced him to Ed Spence of South Alabama. Spence, a Marine and Army veteran, at the time was New York state director of Operation Injured Soldier, and was actively involved in developing events to support veterans.
Soon after meeting, the three came up with the idea of a retreat, where veterans could come and spend quality time, just relaxing or enjoying sporting events.
Photo by Tom Rivers: The Warrior House in West Shelby hosted six veterans in early November 2015 for hunting and fellowship. These three include, from left: Albert Gonzalez from Theresa, near Fort Drum in northern New York; Shannon Girard from Lafayette, La.; and Shane Weyant from Holidaysburg, Pa.
The Warrior House became a reality in 2015.
Zeliff fixed up the interior and had 12 beds built to fill the downstairs.
The first event was a hunt, set up by Operation Injured Soldier, which paid to bring veterans from all over the country to the Warrior House. Three more sporting events were sponsored the first year, including a string of chartered fishing trips on Lake Ontario.
The Sept. 14 and 15 event will be a goose hunt, and will include participation by ABATE, an Albion-based motorcycle group that will sponsor a dice run. The dice run will begin at the Medina VFW at 10 a.m. and continue to other VFWs in the area, ending with a pig roast, live band and basket raffle at the Warrior House. Last year's event raised about $13,000. For more information, contact dice run leader Todd Wilcox at (716) 566-0365.
The Warrior House is now a 501-3C, and donations of cash, food and raffle baskets is always welcome.
They are also looking for volunteers, and anyone interested can call (716) 560-0697.
Spence said they recently took in some homeless veterans and gave them temporary shelter at the Warrior House.

SHELBY – Shelby firefighters provided much needed relief to 48 campers on Sunday at the Forrestel Riding and Sports Camp, just around the corner from the firehall.
Temperatues were in the high 80s on Sunday and the campers were feeling the effects of the heat and humidity. Firefighters stopped by and sprayed water on the group, which is spending time at Forrestel, which runs a girls summer horse riding camp.
Mary Herbert, owner of Forrestel, said she appreciated the firefighters stopping by to help cool off the kids.


The greenhouse effect has been a big concern for our society. As a matter of fact, it is the biggest cause of the destruction of the ozone layer. Recently, however, the ozone layer is gradually starting to heal itself – Thanks to the initiative, as well as support, of concerned organizations and governments.
Instead of using plastic baby bottles, you can start using glass bottles. Not only will it help to lessen your baby's exposure to some of the harmful chemicals found in plastic bottles, but it will also preserve the milk's natural taste and help in making this world a greener place.
Just a word of advice: when you do decide to use glass bottles for your babies, be very cautious and try to avoid having any accidents from happening. Of course, there are risks involved when using glass bottles. For instance, your baby may drop the bottle and break it as a result. Not only will that pose a risk of injury to your baby but to other people in the house as well.
To avoid any of that, you should use a silicone sleeve so that you can prevent any breakage. Also, you should inspect the glass bottles regularly for any chips or cracks.
According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, most plastic containers – Especially those that are made to store or come in contact with any food – include some chemicals that have estrogenic activity. This even includes those plastic containers that are labeled as BPA-free.
Furthermore, it has been found that more than half plastic items being marketed today contain chemicals that mimic estrogen. Now, this is even without exposure to dishwashers, microwaves, or direct sunlight.
In order to prevent your child from being exposed to these dangerous chemicals, you can swap to wooden or even high-grade stainless steel utensils and ceramic dishware instead of the usual plastic wares.
Similar to baby cups, you can start swapping from plastic water bottles to non-plastic alternatives like glass bottles or stainless steel bottles. Remember that the label "BPA-free" doesn't guarantee that those plastic bottles are free from harmful chemicals that may have estrogenic activity.
Babies love toys. That is a universal truth. When they play with their toys, they usually put it inside their mouth. Now, plastic toys can potentially contain some harmful chemicals with estrogenic activity.
When you do buy toys for your babies, choose toys that have the label PVC-free and phthalate-free. If possible, it is better to buy wooden toys instead since they are more durable, eco-friendly, and natural as opposed to plastic toys. Moreover, choose wooden toys that are designed using natural glue and paint. Also, look for toys that have been tested for safety.
One big chunk of plastic wastes that are being dumped in landfills today is plastic shopping bags. In fact, millions of tons of plastic bags end up in landfills every year.
Instead of asking for plastic shopping bags, you can bring your own reusable shopping bag whenever you go to the grocery store. Make it a habit and help in making our world a greener and better place to live.


Early in Paul's letter to the Romans, we have the beautiful basics of Christian teaching — law and gospel.
God's law teaches us what to do and not to do. Initially, this can be deceptive because it makes us feel good to know precisely what God expects of us.
But ultimately the law fills us with a sense of foreboding, as we try to obey God and do what he tells us to do. As we live our lives, constantly striving to fulfill all the law and keep all the rules, we eventually run out of steam. All the "Do's" and "Do Not's" wear us out. We hit a wall. We discover that we can't meet God's expectations. No matter how hard we try, we fall short.
In the end, God's law makes us conscious of our sinfulness and our shortcomings. But it doesn't show us the way to fulfill the whole law or restore our broken relationship with God.
Enter the gospel. The gospel points us in a completely different direction. It points us away from ourselves to Jesus Christ. It instructs us in all that God has already done for us by sending his son, Jesus. The gospel takes away the "To-do list" and replaces it with a "Done!" list.
The gospel makes us aware of God's plan to save us. It shows us the immensity of God's love and mercy. It points us to the perfect sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross. It points us to the hope that the empty tomb holds for us. It tells us that while we can't meet God's expectations, Jesus can and did.
When Jesus walks into our lives, he simplifies everything. He will be our substitute. He will earn — and then give to us — the perfect righteousness that God demands from us. We can cease all the striving. We can simply rest in Jesus' grace and mercy.
"Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God's sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood — to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished — he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus" (Romans 3:20-26, NIV).
Our Bible reading for Thursday, July 16, is Amos 3:1 – 4:13, Romans 3:9-31, Psalm 85:8-13.
Lord, thank you that you have given me your Son, Jesus Christ, to be my Savior. Thanks for the free gifts of forgiveness and eternal life. Send me your Spirit so that I may cling to Jesus in faith and live in him forever!


In my recent meeting with the Chief Digital Officer of a top tier media agency, we talked about the how we both love Digital but some things are still better the "old" analog way. The Designer's process of thinking and solving problems are still very relevant and applicable today as Digital is not always the "answer" for everything. This led me to recommend this great book from 2 Stanford Design Professors who applied Design Thinking to the area of "Self-Help" and Career Planning.
Attached is my own PowerPoint summary of the book "Designing Your Life" by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. It is not a direct copy of the book's outline but rather I pulled out a couple of key concepts and tools that I found to be really helpful. I highly recommend that you buy the book and work through it personally here.
Health, Work, Play, Love Dashboard – Take a pulse check on the state of Four important aspects of your life.
Good Time Journal – Track your daily activities Where you are/have: (1)Most Engaged, (2)Most Energy.
ProtoTyping – Test concepts from your Odyssey plan and try to answer questions from your alternative futures via rapid Prototyping approach.
Fail Fast / Fail Forward – Fail quickly and learn from it so that you can move forward in designing your life. Become Failure immune.
Meet People and Do lots of Informational Interviews – Meet People who Can help you to Prototype. Conduct Info interviews to find "unlisted" opportunities.
Build Your Support Community – Find your support team who will encourage you and keep you accountable.
You can download the ppt template here.
As always, you can watch a quick video clip from Bill Burnett and Dave Evans themselves about the book.


Pete Tong is one of dance music's foremost pioneers. Between his Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1, he's also a label executive and co-founded the electronic music division at WME. Now, he's bringing his Ibiza influence to Los Angeles with a live performance of his Ibiza Classics show, performed with the Heritage Orchestra and conducted by Jules Buckley.
This isn't the first time that this blend of EDM and orchestral has graced the Hollywood Bowl. Above & Beyond performed their acoustic show at the venue to a sold-out crowd in May 2016. But it will be the first time that Tong brings his own show to the venue, and fans are feverish.
Pete Tong Ibiza Classics began a couple of years ago at the triumphant BBC late night Ibiza Prom, where Tong worked with Buckley and the innovative Heritage Orchestra and its artistic director Chris Wheeler to pioneer a show that melded the world of dance music with an orchestra. "It resonated with people in a magical way," says Tong.
The Proms had approached Radio 1 a few times about doing something at the event, but when they asked in early 2015 just as the station was pondering how best to celebrate 20 years of Radio 1 being embedded in Ibiza's dance culture, everything clicked into gear. The idea was simple: classic Ibiza dance tunes but performed by an orchestra. It made sense that the station's dance music trailblazer Tong would team up with the most exciting talents in orchestral music Jules Buckley and The Heritage Orchestra to curate and present the Ibiza classics.

St Michael's Cathedral, 96 1st Street, Passaic NJ
St Michael's Chapel, 415 Lackawanna Avenue, Woodland Park, NJ
We're open and we have a place for you!
Slava Isusu Christu! Glory to Jesus Christ!
Welcome to the Cathedral of St Michael the Archangel!
We are the Cathedral Church of Bishop Kurt R. Burnette for the Eparchy of Passaic.
We are a Byzantine Catholic Church in full communion with the universal Catholic Church.
We offer services in two locations:
St Michael's Cathedral St Michael's Chapel
96 First Street 415 Lackawanna Avenue
Passaic NJ Woodland Park NJ
SACRAMENTAL MYSTERIES AT ST MICHAEL'S
THE SACRAMENTS OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION, Baptism, Chrismation, and Holy Eucharist, are administered together. Once initiated, infants and children should receive Holy Communion regularly. Baptisms must be arranged at least one month in advance. New parents will receive some informative catechesis on the sacramental mysteries before the event.
THE SACRAMENT OF REPENTANCE (Confession) is available one half hour before all scheduled services and at other times by request. Special hours for confessions are scheduled before Christmas and Pascha. Parents will decide when their children are mature enough to examine their conscience and make a confession. Children must be regularly attending Liturgy and must complete a home-based catechetical course on Repentance before requesting the sacrament.
THE SACRAMENT OF MATRIMONY Weddings should be arranged with the parish before finalizing any other details. At least one party must be a Byzantine Catholic. Wedding preparation, including Pre Cana, should begin no later than six months before the proposed wedding date. Couples are strongly encouraged to attend the one-day Pre-Cana program sponsored by the Cathedral in late winter each year. Contact the parish office to share the good news of your engagement as soon as possible.
Church law requires that at least one baptismal godparent and one witness to Matrimony must be a practicing Catholic holding a sponsor certificate from the Catholic Church he or she regularly attends. Practicing members of St MIchael's Cathedral parish needing a sponsor certificate to serve as godparent or witness to marriage may contact the Parish Office.
PASTORAL CARE OF THE SICK Please contact the Parish Office whenever a parishioner is facing serious illness or hospitalization so that they may be anointed for healing. Sacramental visits to parishioners who are homebound or in care facilities are made monthly. Please contact the Parish Office to make arrangements. Please do not wait for "Last Rites"! Call for a priest while your loved one is able to make a confession and receive Holy Communion.
FUNERAL SERVICES The normal practice of the Byzantine Catholic Church is to pray the Parastas service with the body of the deceased at the funeral home and to bring the deceased to Church for a Funeral Liturgy before burial. The funeral services are not served over cremated remains. A memorial service may be served at the cemetery or columbarium before the committal of cremated remains. Cremated remains should always be committed in this way, not scattered or preserved in the home. A funeral director can make all necessary arrangements with St Michael's Cathedral at time of need.
THEOPHANY 2022
The trojca or triple candle symbolizes the divinity of the Holy Trinity
Each of the three flames is extinguishes in the water.

The Great Sanctification of Water on the feast of the Theophany (January 6) recalls the Lord's Baptism in the Jordan and the revelation of the Three Persons of the Holy Trinity. The newly-sanctified Jordan Water is brought to the homes of the faithful for a blessing in the period between Theophany and the Sunday of Zacchaeus.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Trailer is Out, Reviews are In
By Gel Galang
Square Enix and Eidos-Montreal have launched the new trailer for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. This is the latest installment from the Deus Ex franchise.
The trailer, seen below, shows just where humanity stands. The title hints of a divided world, and from the looks of it, Adam Jensen will be at the center of all the action.
"If you try to rip the world apart, someone will always put it back together. You can kill dreams. You can kill innocence. You can kill freedom. But you can't kill progress."
That's what Adam Jensen says in the trailer, and from the looks of it, fans are all hyped and ready to dive in for the game.
Even with a few days left before launch, the review scores are in for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Over at NeoGAF, fans are obviously excited. And based on the scores from different outlets, the game will be living up to the hype.
While there are a handful of reviews that find\ noticeable fault in the game's narrative, the scores are in the 8-9/10 range. It's a pretty good sequel to Deus Ex Human Revolution.
In 2029, after the Aug incident that resulted in the deaths of millions, mankind stands divided. The oppression of the mechanically augmented has created a climate of fear and resentment, resulting in an escalation of crime and acts of terror. Amid all the chaos, Adam Jensen goes after the Illuminati, the men and women responsible for tearing the world apart. Armed with a new arsenal of state-of-the-art weapons and augmentations, he must choose the right approach, along with who to trust, in order to unravel a vast worldwide conspiracy.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will be out on Aug. 23. It will be out on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

More details for the Star Wars Battlefront Death Star expansion out.


Then he told them what they could expect for themselves: "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You're not in the driver's seatI am.
My husband is a NASCAR fan from way back. His favorite driver drove the black #3 car. Tragically, his beloved driver was killed in the early 2000's when his car hit the wall just short of the finish line. This event took away a lot of my husband's enthusiasm for racing and it just hasn't been the same for him. His love for the sport has been revived, and now he cheers on his favorite's son.
Every weekend, usually Sunday afternoon, this group of 45 (plus or minus) drivers and their teams travel around the country to the different venues on the circuit and race each other. Most of the tracks are ovals or tri-ovals; hence, the drivers mostly just turn left. Each team has an elaborate tractor-trailer, a.k.a. "hauler", to haul their equipment (cars and state-of-the-art tools), and the drivers have posh motor homes in which they comfortably rest and spend time with their families and comrades when they aren't on the track or in the garages.
A practice session is usually held the day before the event. During this time, the drivers and their teams test out the particular car and engine they intend to use. They fine-tune their machines based upon data gathered via practice and expected track conditions the day of the actual race. All the teams have a back-up car, incase (a) they wreck or (b) another catastrophic event that renders the car of choice un-drivable.
NASCAR has made tremendous strides over the years. Since the aforementioned driver's death and the death of two other young men shortly afterwards, safety of the driver and the crew has become the top concern of the industry. Teams and their respective owners make use of every bit of modern technology available. There is so much more going on in a NASCAR race than for the driver to fire up his engine, keep the throttle wide open and turn left. They have every "what-if" or "suppose" calculated out, right down to how many laps they can get out of a full fuel cell and a back-up driver incase the regular guy or gal falls ill.
In our race called life, we run on the road course that has twists and bends all throughout the track. We don't get a practice session. We have to get it right the first time. Our machines (our hearts) have to be adjusted so that we can take the checkered flag. We have to pick our team wisely: we must choose Jesus as our driver, the Holy Spirit as the crew chief, and God as our owner who'll double as our spotter to steer us clear of Satan's debris on our track. We must use only the highest-octane fuel available, God's word in the Holy Bible. Our fans (prayer warriors) cheer for us (pray for us) and give us the encouragement we need.
When we get to winner's circle on victory lane (Heaven), God will meet us there to help us climb out of the window and into His arms. He will present us with our trophy, eternal life.
Dear Jesus, be my driver. I am not able to win this race without you. Father, let me fuel up everyday with your word. Please steer me clear of Satan's debris along the way. I long to meet you at winner's circle, and to receive my prize of everlasting life. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Such a large crowd of witnesses is all around us! So we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially the sin that just won't let go. And we must be determined to run the race that is ahead of us.


The Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 is the most popular model in the Tarpon series due to it's manageable size.
The Tarpon 120 is a Sit On Top Kayak designed for touring for all paddling abilities and is capable of day trips if desired. If you are looking for maximum speed to cover long distances you should also consider the Tarpon 140 and Tarpon 160, bearing in mind that these are larger and heavier with less stability for inexperienced paddlers.
As with all the Tarpons, the Tarpon 120 is packed with features including Wilderness Systems Phase 3 seating system (one of the most comfortable seats available) that offers adjustable padded back support and leg support combined with adjustable footrests for the perfect fit. There's plenty of carrying capacity and space on deck to store your gear too.
Paddle with lightweight fibreglass shaft featuring asymmertical blades for increased paddling effiency & reduced torque.
Attach rod holders, fish finders, GPS, etc. to the Wilderness Systems SlideTrax system.
Simple & easy to use with rods slotting into tube, ideal for use on sit-on-tops & kayaks. Includes 241 Side / Deck Mount.
We offer a delivery service for the Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 to home and work addresses throughout England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland & Ireland.
Buy a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 online from our website and collect from our store in Newhaven, East Sussex or from any branch within the Canoe Shops Group. There is no cost associated with this*.


Select committees are not usually all the rage, but there is widespread media coverage of the Treasury Select Committee's grilling yesterday of RBS and HBOS bankers.
All four men (the former HBOS chief executive and chairman, Andy Hornby and Lord Stevenson, and the former RBS chief executive and chairman, Sir Fred Goodwin and Sir Tom McKillop) apologised for the events that have led to the crisis in their banks. Andy Hornby said that it was an error to pay huge bonuses for short-term successes. Sir Tom admitted that the purchase of Dutch bank ABN Amro for £10 billion was a mistake. The witnesses were also keen to impress upon the committee - and the wider public - that they have personally lost a great deal of money.
The question, however, is what is to be done about it all, and how a future crisis might be averted.
In the Times today there is a leading article calling for an overhaul of the select committee system. It says that committees are "better at theatre than scrutiny" and "thinly staffed and poorly resourced". The piece calls for committee chairmen to be paid at least as well as junior ministers, so that committees are an alternative career path and not just for mavericks, has-beens and the hopeless. (In fact select committees are a good place for junior MPs to start - David Cameron thrived on the Home Affairs one).
Peter Luff, who chairs the Business and Enterprise select committee, suggested a way forward in an article for ConservativeHome published in January. He wants fewer committees with greater powers, and the creation of one new one - a social justice committee chaired by Iain Duncan Smith.
Under Mr Luff's proposals, which are well worth reading in full, most select committees would be reduced in size to nine members. He argues that most "cross-cutting" committees get in the way of those that scrutinse specific government departments, and that they should have "the power to refer more issues about expenditure, appointments and policy to the floor of the House not just for debate but also for votes."
Select committees were an early and excellent innovation of the first Thatcher government. It is indeed time that they had greater bite.
