COLONIE -- Despite the troubled economy and town's deep deficit, the Town Board voted Thursday to approve three years' worth of pay hikes for hundreds of employees. |
The board voted 7-0 to approve a contract with a union serving more than 200 administrative employees that includes 3.25 percent pay hikes each year for 2009, 2010 and 2011. Another set of administrative workers who are not represented by a union were given similar raises. |
The move comes as the town has acknowledged the deficit it once shrank has begun to grow again. |
Last year, Supervisor Paula Mahan said during her re-election campaign she had trimmed the town's deficit by 45 percent, from $19.7 million to $10.8 million. Now the supervisor says the troubled economy means the deficit is closer to $16 million. |
Mahan noted Thursd |
How to Get a Picture-Perfect Smile Before Your Wedding |
When planning a wedding – no matter its size – a bride will inevitably find herself juggling countless balls. With so much to focus on, it’s easy to forget planning ahead for personal maintenance, but it only takes a few simple steps to ensure a picture-perfect smile on your wedding day. Whether you have one day or a w... |

For that picture-perfect wedding day smile, Joseph Greer, DMD, and Mitchell Charnas, DMD, both of Manhattan Dental Spa suggest a comprehensive evaluation including clinical and radiographic exams, plus a smile analysis for possible implants and/or crowns. It’s important to re |

this pair is two of a kind |
This summer while the AbEx abstract expressionism exhibit was in town on tour from New York’s MOMA two of my favourite painters passed away. |
In the years before their deaths, and following my education in art, I would cite these men as two of the greatest living artists painting exactly the works I’d wish to buy, view in galleries, commission, or even paint myself if I’d been born with their talent and ideas.

UNION — A proclamation issued by city and county officials urges the public to educated themselves about hospice and palliative care services available to persons of all ages in the community. |
The proclamation was signed Monday morning by City of Union Mayor Harold Washington and Union County Supervisor in a ceremony attended by Penny Adamo, community relations liaison for Hospice Care of South Carolina. It declares November as “National Hospice and Palliative Care Month” in Union County and the City of Unio... |
Hospice and palliative care are described by the proclamation as offering “the highest quality of care to patients and families and bring comfort, love and respect for all those they serve in |
PHILADELPHIA — Edward Doheny of the University of Pennsylvania has been named to the 2011 Irish Education 100 by the Irish Voice newspaper. The annual list honors leading educators of Irish descent. |
Doheny is a lecturer and senior graduate advisor in Penn’s Professional Program in Applied Geoscience in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science. He traces his Irish heritage to County Waterford on his mother’s side and to County Tipperary on his father’s side. |
Along with the other honorees, he was featured in a special edition of the Irish Voice Dec. 14 and attended an awards luncheon at the Irish Consulate in New York City the same day. |
Doheny began working at Penn in 1993 and in 2000 founded the Professional Program in Applied Geoscience. The program allows students to earn |
Games to keep your puppy fit but safe |
Puppies seem to have boundless energy, so at first, you might assume keeping them active and fit will be easy. However, anyone who has owned a puppy and carried her home after a long walk can tell you that as energetic as puppies are, they also tire quickly. |
In addition, puppies have certain limits that some owners might not notice when their little ball of fur's energy seems literally endless. According to Animal Planet, puppies should not go on long runs or jogs until they are about a year old, since this is when their joints are mature. Too much impact exercise while th... |

Tallahassee, FL (Sports Network) - An appearance in the 2013 MEAC-SWAC Challenge, a trip to Ohio State and five home games highlight the Florida A&M football schedule announced on Thursday. |
The Rattlers, who have a new head coach in Earl Holmes, will play 12 games, including five at home for the first time since 2006. |
Florida A&M will face Mississippi State in the MEAC-SWAC Challenge on Sept. 1 in Orlando. The Rattlers will both open and close their regular season at the Florida Citrus Bowl because they also will face rival Bethune-Cookman in the Florida Classic on Nov. 23. |
The Sept. 21 game with Ohio State is the first between the two programs and will net Florida A&M an $850,000 guarantee. |
Florida A&M's home games at Bragg Memorial Stadium will be against Tennessee State (Sept. 7) and Sa |
Maryam Safai's 5,000-square-foot, five-bedroom colonial in Mahwah, N.J., has been on the market for a year, even after three reductions in asking price. |
"I'm not going to give in to the market," said Safai, 44, a dentist. "I'm not selling below our current asking price" of $1.69 million. |
Like Safai's northern New Jersey neighborhood, housing markets around the nation are cooling, mostly as the result of the Federal Reserve's drive to push up interest rates. |
That has slowed price increases in most of the country and reduced demand for risky types of financing that caused former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan to worry about "froth" in the housing market. |
Sales of new homes fell 10.5 percent in February, the biggest drop since 1995, and sales of existing homes slipped in five of the last six mon |

Tech Empires Aren't Good For Shareholders |
Larry is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited. |
The corporate titans of today’s tech world would be better off in parts rather than as wholes. The job of management is to generate shareholder value, not to build massive integrated empires with cash that yields one and a half or two percent. Rather than acquiring more divisions, these massive companies should spin di... |
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is one company that has done quite a bit of mergers that stray from its core business. Some have fared better than others, certainly. But as many studies have shown, a lot of this merger activity actually destroys value. Microsoft |
In a case of first impression under Virginia law, the Virginia Court of Appeals has applied “familiar principles of constructive possession of contraband” to define “possession” in the context of computer files. |
In the case of Kromer v. Commonwealth, the appellant challenged the sufficiency of the evidence put forward to convict him of unlawful possession of child pornography. Specifically, the appellant argued that the Commonwealth failed to prove that he knowingly possessed the illegal images contained on the hard drive of h... |
The appellant had contended that the images were “hidden” on his computer, and that someone else could have downloaded them from the Internet. However, the court tipped i |

CNU XIV: MetaPhysical Planning & The Long Emergency |
I'VE led a few MetaPhysical Planning sessions at the CNU's annual congresses. They've been popular, getting around 150 people each time, with good comments afterwards. Here's a description from this year's program: |
Material crises start in the realm of the spirit. And that is where they can be transformed into blessings. |
Anyone who reads religious and spiritual writings can’t help but notice that throughout history and for thousands of years mystics have said that the time we live in now would be a period of great turmoil. Many people who simply listen to their inner voices have heard the same thing for quite a while. A Meta-Physical P... |
This is the video for The Civil Wars song “Poison and Wine.” It is off their first full-length studio album Barton Hollow. They are a folk band that have elements of bluegrass in their sound. |
There is a somber and minimalistic style to The Civil Wars’ first full-length studio album Barton Hollow. The simplicity of the album allows for a focus on the harmonies created by singers Joy Williams and John Paul White. Together, the folk duo provides a full, rich blend of tones that is simply pleasing for listeners... |
The most important elements of The Civil Wars style are clearly evident to the l |
Renting a villa in Bali |
As a follow up to a previous post I did about renting a house in Bali long-term, many people have asked for specific information about renting a villa in Bali long-term also so I have tried to give some pointers on this. |
One of the main problems is the fact that you have to pay a year's rent up front - slightly unnerving and rather problematic for some. The ironic thing is that villa rental is rather cheap but having to have the cash up front certainly doesn't make it feel that way. |
Another thing is that, as distinct from houses, many villas come furnished but not all - it's very much recommended that this is clear before you take anything! |
My final point to note would be to check the place out at night - some villas are set in seeming idyllic locations only for the |
The bus stops in front of Bikaner House. |
Its almost midnight. |
Way past the ‘decent hour’ for any woman to be out in the city. |
I alight after a thoroughly enjoyable 7 hours of journey from Jaipur. Right behind follow my almost-6-year-old daughter and my mother. |
We walk a few steps looking around for the best mode of transportation that would safely take us home. We have barely made it to the exit-gate, in comes a herd of auto-rickshaw drivers encircling us..offering us to drop us home. “Madam, kahan jaana hai?” “Auto mei baith jao” |
We have another 20-25 kms of travel yet to cover to finally reach home. |
Each of them has his eyes firmly fixed on us. |
Right then, a flurry of thoughts come hitting me like a curse,“So which one of them would end up molesting us tonight?”… |
“What if one of them dra |

Local Seeds For Local Gardens |
Every garden starts with seeds. For folks who are interested in local living, it only makes sense that you’d seek out seeds that were grown locally as well. |
Art Sherwood of Nature’s Crossroads Seed Company is here to help. Sure, he wants to be your local seed man, but for him, it’s more about recruiting new gardeners. “If you have to buy your seeds from Wal-Mart, go buy them from Wal-Mart. Whatever. Don’t let ideology get in the way of growing great plants in your backyard... |
Nature’s Crossroads partners with LIFE Certified Organic Farms to grow organic and earth-friendly seeds. This means using all-natural pesticides and fertilizers, and their seeds have absolutely no genetic-modification. Their goal is to have 70 |
1) One Tree Hill |
This is a show that I have had kind of a yo-yo relationship with. I would pick it up and then drop it, pick it up and drop it again. One of the things I always loved about it though was when I would come back I could quickly figure out what was going on. This final season has been amazing, a full on emotional roller co... |
2) General Hospital |
I obviously love me soapy stories. GH was my show starting when I was twelve until about 4 years ago when OLTL took over since it was so much better. Now though since GH has a new creative team it has quickly become must see TV in the afternoon. I can pretty much tell you every afternoon at |
To Kill or Not to Kill… Your Mustache |
You might think shaving off that “mouth brow” is a smart decision, but is it really? Before you take the plunge, enjoy a few of these activities that can only be enjoyed by guys (and some girls) with a ‘stache.So go on: inspect a crime.

Jurists are generally supposed to struggle with complex legal issues, weighing the subtleties and nuances of the law and legal history, and using their best judgment to reach sound conclusions to tough calls. |
But for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, tough legal questions aren't difficult to answer at all (thanks to reader R.S. for the tip). |
Scalia calls himself a "textualist" and, as he related to a few hundred people who came to buy his new book and hear him speak in Washington the other day, that means he applies the words in the Constitution as they were understood by the people who wrote and adopted them. [...] |

As the weather warms with hints of summer’s imminent arrival, you might find yourself itching for a reason to enjoy more of your meals outside. I’ve certainly found myself drawn to the grill more and more as of late, and in this case, I wanted a simple meal that felt more…provençal? |
I prepared this meal with one of my absolute favorite fish dishes in mind. Preparation is wonderfully simple: start with a whole fish and stuff the belly cavity with as much in the way of aromatics as you can possibly fit in there, oil the fish generously, and grill it until cooked through. This is the kind of dinner t... |
The links below provide a great round-up of the event: |
I’ll provide a couple more details about how the race unfolded. I started out on the road section feeling very comfortable running 11:45 for the first two miles in the lead. I knew that it wasn’t a good idea to try and fly solo from wire to wire with such a high level of competition so I was hoping people would catch u... |
The new T magazine made an impressive start on Sunday. Thick with ads, its editorial content – including a fascinating cover story on the 79-year-old socialite Lee Radziwill – was strong. |
“T: The Times Style Magazine” has been redesigned with a well-respected new editor, Deborah Needleman, who came to The Times recently from The Wall Street Journal. |
There was much to admire. But many readers found one aspect of the magazine disturbing – its lack of people of color. Indeed, there could be no argument; it was overwhelmingly white. |
One reader, Susan Clark of Annandale, Va., put it this way: |
The new T arrived yesterday. I’m impressed by its heft. As I looked through the magazine, I was surprised at Deborah Needleman’s choices. There is a complete absence of any people of color in articles or f |
