Chai It Out — Chai Around Town: Westminster, Maryland:

http://chaitout.tumblr.com/post/61304594056/chai-around-town-westminster-maryland

It’s getting to be that time of year again when a nice cup of something hot and a warm sweater goes a long way. On these brisk Fall days and nights a cup of Chai tea is a perfect solution to warm you up. Looking for a nice place to go sit with your favorite book while enjoying your delicious cup of tea? Here is a list of some Cafe’s in Westminster that serve Chai. Chai them out and make sure you tell them how much you appreciate their Chai-ness ;)

Let’s begin with Birdies Cafe located at 233 East Main Street, Westminster, MD 21157. This is the perfect place to cozy up with a Chai Latte…add in vanilla or hazelnut for a new flavor. Prices are on the cheaper size and they have three different sizes. Looking for a cold treat? Try their snowbird, which compares to a frap. Homemade whipped cream on top and you are all set! check out their website www.birdiescoffee.com

Moving on to Cup Tea Bar also located on Main Street at 7 East Main Street Westminster, MD 21157. This is a newer cafe and is great for all tea lovers! Take a seat at the bar and watch as they prepare your cup of tea in front of you. There are a variety of options here for Chai…you won’t be disappointed. www.cupteabar.com

With lots of nonprofits in Md., hard to know how many are needed - The Washington Post

With lots of nonprofits in Md., hard to know how many are needed - The Washington Post:

By Associated Press, Published: October 13, 2013 http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/with-lots-of-nonprofits-in-md-hard-to-know-how-many-are-needed/2013/10/13/e4539674-3417-11e3-89db-8002ba99b894_story.html

BALTIMORE — Maryland has more than 30,000 nonprofit organizations.

That’s approximately one for every 180 Maryland citizens. That’s about 10,000 more than the number of retail businesses in the state. And it’s about 20 times the number of public schools.

Does Maryland really need that many? http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/with-lots-of-nonprofits-in-md-hard-to-know-how-many-are-needed/2013/10/13/e4539674-3417-11e3-89db-8002ba99b894_story.html

Family, boyfriend accept award in Glen Burnie for injured state trooper - : Community News:

Wed Oct 16, 2013.

It was an emotional night for the family of the Maryland State Police trooper hit by a car last week.

Jacqueline Kline was named Trooper of the Year at the Northern Anne Arundel County Chamber of Commerce’s 28th annual Community Safety Awards Tuesday in Glen Burnie.

Family members were in tears as Trooper Mark Massoni, her boyfriend, and Trooper Justin Fohs, whom Kline stopped to help on the night of her accident, accepted the award on her behalf.

“I’m so proud of her. She obviously deserves it,” said Massoni, who met Kline on duty a year ago. “She’s the most exemplary trooper I ever met.”

Kline remains at the University of Maryland’s Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. She was upgraded from critical to stable condition on Wednesday, and her family said she is recovering. No charges have been filed in the accident, but police are continuing their investigation... http://www.capitalgazette.com/maryland_gazette/news/community_news/family-boyfriend-accept-award-in-glen-burnie-for-injured-state/article_6ab44e72-a7c9-50e8-a0ae-ef49caf72f90.html

The reason for the season of fall's colorful tree display [Eagle Archive]

By Kevin Dayhoff, kevindayhoff@gmail.com

7:00 a.m. EDT, October 9, 2013

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-eagle-archives-20131008,0,5094609.story

On a drive through the Carroll County countryside the other day, WTTR was playing “The Mamas and the Papas” 1966 hit song “All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray” on the truck radio; but outside along the road, Mother Nature did not get the memo and was still dabbling with yellows, oranges and brilliant reds in the trees.

This year, the autumnal equinox, the first day of fall, began on September 22, at 4:44 p.m. That’s when the sun is aligned with the equator making days and nights equal in length.

The arrival of fall is a storied event in American history, folklore and tradition; however, one of the more interesting musings comes from Tom Robbins, the author of “Still Life with Woodpecker.”

Robbins wrote, “It was autumn, the springtime of death…”

Okay, well anyway; as old man winter approaches, there is arguably no prettier season in Carroll County than the vibrant tree leaves of fall. This is when, for a short period of time, trees are allowed to act-out and show some additional passion with a dazzling wardrobe of color.

A point not lost on Susan Williamson, the visual arts coordinator at the Carroll County Arts Council.

Some Carroll Countians Ready to Break Ties with the Free State - Government - Westminster, MD Patch

Some Carroll Countians Ready to Break Ties with the Free State - Government - Westminster, MD Patch:

A Carroll County man is leading the charge to form a new state comprised of five Maryland counties.

By Lauren Loricchio, Capital News Service

Maryland’s five western counties have had enough.

http://westminster.patch.com/groups/politics-and-elections/p/some-carroll-countians-ready-to-break-ties-with-the-free-state

Allegany, Carroll, Frederick, Garrett, and Washington counties are ready to sever ties with the Free State and start their own, according to Scott Strzelczyk, a 49-year-old information technology consultant and self-proclaimed leader of the Western Maryland Initiative.

“I think our differences are irreconcilable and ultimately we want an amicable divorce,” said Strzelczyk. Strzelczyk, a resident of the rural town of New Windsor in Carroll County, said three things prompted him to create the group: gerrymandering of Western Maryland’s congressional district, tax increases and recent legislation limiting firearm sales in the state.

The Facebook page Strzelczyk launched to garner support for the cause, titled ‘Western Maryland: A New State Initiative,’ currently has more than 6,000 ‘likes’. “We don’t need Annapolis telling us how to live our lives and telling us what’s right for us and what isn’t right for us,” Strzelczyk said.

Similar secessionist movements, led by citizens fed up with their state government, have sprung up throughout the country in states like Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, New York and New Hampshire.

A group of conservatives in rural Northern California want to create the 51st state which they’ve named ‘Jefferson’. The organization’s website promotes smaller government and lower taxes.

"Internet access can be expensive, especially in developing countries. Google is backing a new project that aims to change that.

The search giant said Monday it has helped found the Alliance for Affordable Internet, or A4AI, a global coalition backed by Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee that hopes to dramatically cut the cost of Internet access.

Households in developing countries pay roughly a third of their monthly income for a fixed Internet connection, according to figures from the International Telecommunication Union.

“The reason for the Alliance is simple—the majority of the world’s people are still not online, usually because they can’t afford to be,” Berners-Lee said in a statement.

A4AI has a specific goal: to make broadband service cost less than 5 percent of average monthly income."

It would not be odd to see a farmer, a cow, a horse, a deer, corn stalks or a bird in Carroll County — just maybe not all in a corn field at one time.

A depiction of all these figures, meant to symbolize the many creatures that consume corn, can be found in a corn field near the Carroll County Agriculture Center and Shipley Arena in Westminster. The center used the help of GPS technology to mow the figures, which encompass roughly three miles, into the field as the route for their fourth annual corn maze.

“It’s gone well,” said agriculture center board member Caroline Babylon, of the corn maze over the years. “It’s a major fundraiser for us.”"

Awesome pictures by Carroll County Times photographer Dylan Slagle

"As the days get shorter and the weather begins to cool, broad stripes of Carroll’s countryside begin to turn from green to brown, signaling that it’s time for farmers to bring in the fall corn harvest. The tall fields of corn that cover much of Carroll’s countryside begin to vanish one at a time. By the time the first snow falls most of the fields have been cut and processed into grain or silage."

Google is building Chrome OS straight into Windows 8 | The Verge

Google is building Chrome OS straight into Windows 8 | The Verge:

By Tom Warren on October 5, 2013 http://www.theverge.com/2013/10/5/4806562/google-building-chrome-os-into-windows-8#!

"Google unveiled its Chrome Apps initiative recently to launch apps that exist outside of the browser and extend its reach into more of a platform, but it looks like the company has a whole lot more planned. Over the past few weeks, Google has been updating its developer version of the Chrome browser to run what's essentially Chrome OS within Windows 8's "Metro" mode.

http://www.theverge.com/2013/10/5/4806562/google-building-chrome-os-into-windows-8#!

Chrome traditionally runs on the desktop in Windows 8, but you can set it to launch within the Windows 8 Start Screen into a special "Metro-style" mode. The new updates are very different from the existing stable channel version of Chrome in Windows 8 that simply presents a fullscreen browser. In the latest dev channel release the UI and functionality is identical to Chrome OS. There's a shelf with Chrome, Gmail, Google, Docs, and YouTube icons that can be arranged at the bottom, left, or right of the screen. Like Chrome OS, you can create multiple browser windows and arrange them using a snap to the left or right of the display or fullscreen modes. An app launcher is also available in the lower left-hand corner."

New York Times Breaking News: Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap, Who Ousted U.S. From Vietnam, Is Dead

BREAKING NEWS Friday, October 4, 2013 11:38 AM EDT

Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap, Who Ousted U.S. From Vietnam, Is Dead

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/05/world/asia/gen-vo-nguyen-giap-dies.html?emc=edit_na_20131004&_r=0

Vo Nguyen Giap, the relentless and charismatic North Vietnamese general whose battlefield victory at Dien Bien Phu drove France out of Vietnam and whose tenacious resistance to the United States in a long and costly war there eventually sapped America’s political will to fight, died on Friday in Hanoi. He was believed to be 102.

The death was reported by several Vietnamese news organizations, including the respected Tuoi Tre Online, which said he died in an army hospital.

General Giap was among the last survivors of a generation of Communist revolutionaries who in the postwar decades freed Vietnam of colonial rule and fought a superpower to a stalemate. In his later years, he was a living reminder of a war that was mostly old history to the Vietnamese, many of whom were born after it had ended.
