Theodore J. Georgian
The approaching sixtieth anniversary of our church startled me when I realized that I've lived through nearly fifty of those years, having begun preaching in my first charge in the fall of 1948. What follows are my selective observations on church life, with special focus on the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. In making them, I entertain no delusions of having superior wisdom, unique experiences, or timeless insights.
First, let me tell you what this church means to me. After wandering in an ecclesiastical wasteland, I found my spiritual home in the OPC, and I thank the Lord for our church. It is here that my wife and I nurtured our children, who, by God's mercy, are now serving him, two in the OPC and one in the PCA.
As more than one church father has taught, the church is our mother. I thank God for our church's commitment to our sovereign Redeemer and to Reformed orthodoxy, for which she enjoys something of worldwide renown. I am aware of her warts and failures; in recent years, I have been concerned about the views of some on certain theological and ethical issues. But through all her ups and downs, the OPC, by God's grace, has been steadfast in proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This is a neglected subject among evangelicals. Even Reformed seminary curricula and pulpits give short shrift to it, and solid books on the subject are in short supply. Two welcome books on the church come from J. A. Heyns (1980) and E. P. Clowney (1995). Most evangelicals today hold an appallingly low view of the church, the covenant community of God's people, preferring an individualistic approach to God and salvation.
The Congregational Cambridge Platform (1648) speaks of a church covenant as a "Voluntary Agreement, Consent or Covenant," defined as a mutual covenant between church members, with the emphasis on a man-to-man compact rather than on God's covenant with his people. (The Rev. Raymond E. Commeret first drew my attention to this.) This idea of the church as a voluntary, consensual society has been bought, by and large, by evangelicalism. Church affiliation is, for many Christians, a matter of "have membership certificate in hip pocket, will travel," resulting in membership transfers best described as cavalier.
Some of my colleagues take too seriously the statement in our Directory for Worship, "The office of the minister is the first in the church for dignity and usefulness," thinking that it endorses the minister/pastor as the authority in the church. What they forget is the principle of parity of elders. Our Form of Government states that the pastor "joins with the ruling elders in governing the congregation" (chap. 8, emphasis added). The following scenario is fairly typical:
A pastor insists that the session get off dead center and forthwith discipline a church member, or he pushes a program that's the greatest thing since Calvin's Geneva. The session demurs, leaving him frustrated and even angry. He expects "my session" (many pastors do speak that way) to rubber-stamp his agenda. As a result, pastor and session become adversaries. Pastors are accountable to their elders, who "have particular concern for the doctrine and conduct of the minister of the Word and help him in his labors" (Form of Government, 10.3).
Another session consists of strong-minded men who are highly successful in their careers and who don't mind throwing their weight around. They, too, forget about the parity of elders, and may show little respect for their pastor, making life miserable for him. Neither pastor nor session should run roughshod over the other.
In one of my pastorates, I was blessed with a session of strong-minded men of diverse personalities and gifts. How much I enjoyed the stimulating give-and-take of session meetings! We exchanged views freely in mutual love and respect, accepted decisions as votes were taken, and continued our work together. I looked forward to session meetings. Honest!
This is a delicate subject. Ministers tend to peg their own preaching at the ninety-seventh percentile! Since I've been in the church, we've lamented the dearth of great preaching. Yet, with a few notable exceptions, the results seem to be the same. How does one preach memorably?
Preachers do well to ask themselves, "Does this sermon address the question, 'So what?' " Chip Stonehouse has recommended listening to great black preachers, to learn effective communication. Years ago, Paul Woolley urged preachers to be interesting in what they have to say. An adage warns that it's a sin to bore children, which agrees with R. B. Kuiper's advice to gear sermons to the twelve-year-old mind. (In light of Mark Noll's The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, should that be adjusted to the ten-year-old mind?) Some years ago, in a conversation with friends, Allen Curry recommended the telling of stories to make sermons memorable. He was not advocating the stringing together of stories unrelated to the text or topic. Much of our Lord's teaching took the form of storytelling. Preaching is, of course, a vast area of inquiry.
The older I get, the more powerfully I'm impressed by the utter mystery of who God is and how he works among men. It has given what piety I possess a greater depth. The Trinity and the Incarnation are two great mysteries of the faith, but there are others.
God's providence is shrouded in mystery. We borrow trouble when we try to penetrate it, instead of letting God be God. A particularly knotty problem is posed by the existence of evil.
God's grace in salvation is mysterious; it is both simple and profound. And after we have come to Christ, God's grace drives all that we do; yet it is we who do the living. Or do we? Scripture teaches that God works in us to will and to do for his good pleasure and glory. A healthy incentive to humility is to acknowledge God's grace in our life and work.
Prayer is a mysterious undertaking. It is we who pray, yet it is the Lord who moves us to pray. Prayer weds the simplicity of children approaching their father to the sublimity of finite creatures approaching the throne of the King of the universe. We're bound to bow in reverence before him, yet this mysterious God embraces and delights in his children, redeems us in his Son, and guides us by his Spirit. Hallelujah!
Talk about rushing in where angels fear to tread! Worship is man's supreme calling. The church's supreme activity is God-centered worship. That being so, do our words and music in worship boil down to a question of taste? Now there's a scary thought!
First we must ask, "What creates and molds taste?" If it is popular culture, may the church cater to taste so molded? We read thoughtful books by David F. Wells, Kenneth A. Myers, and others, who plead that the church not give in to popular culture, but rather influence it, "taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ" (2 Cor. 10:5 NASB). If that is true overall, should popular culture dictate and dominate public worship? Paul's principle of being all things to all men does not mean marketing the church as a seeker-friendly church.
Is the church in danger of neglecting, and losing, the rich heritage of Christian hymnody going back to the earliest Christian centuriesto say nothing of the Psalter? Has the overhead become the church's new worship center? Are so-called praise and Scripture songs here to stay, or are they merely a fad?
Let me tell you a story. A few years ago at family devotions, our son asked his children what they wanted to sing. Now, I'm not easily surprised, but I was "blown away" when Holy, Holy, Holy was requested. I thought, "Are these kids weird?" Do some of us know what we're talking about in assuming that the unchurchedand the churchedcannot appreciate the church's hymns? Do praise songs bring us closer to God than hymns? (Yes, my grandchildren also sing children's songs and some praise songs.)
I react most against what I hear as mantras in praise songs: repetitious singing of words like Jesus and Hallelujah. (I'm familiar with the argument that the Hallelujah Chorus has such repetition. But the critical difference is the musicbetween majestic, quality music and sinuous melodies that leave worshipers swaying and glassy-eyed.) We must worship God with our emotions; we must also worship with our minds. Why can't a laid-back Ted Georgian offer worship to the Lord with deep gratitude and joy, without holy dancing, holy laughing, holy shouting, or holy applauding a performance?
How did our grandparents and parents survive their marriages without a raft of books and seminars on marriage? (I'm in the market for a book pegged to couples in their early seventies.) How did we and our parents raise our children without a spate of books and videos on rearing children? An antidote to much of such blather is Wendy Kaminer's I'm Dysfunctional, You're Dysfunctional, a brilliant, witty, and devastating assault on the likes of the recovery movement, codependency, positive thinking, etc.
Where do I stand? I'm in denial. By the way, can someone help me find a Life Application Inductive Study Bible for Retired Pastors? After all, there's one for just about everyone else. I'll forswear comment on how the Tenth Commandment bears on such enterprises. Let me assure you that I don't intend to wage a vendetta against biblical counseling. But do we still believe that the Lord in his wisdom has ordained "the outward and ordinary means" (Shorter Catechism, Q. 88) through his church's ministry, to bring us to glory? And whatever happened to common sense informed by the grace of God?
As we approach a new millennium, let us be neither apologetic nor chauvinistic about our heritage. As a Reformed church, we must be ever reforming, for complacency and pride ill behoove us. Let us remember that we don't have a corner on the truth.
I believe that the Lord has carved out for us a significant niche in which to serve him in a broken and needy world. May the Lord grant us the vision and the will to do so.
Mr. Georgian is a retired OP pastor. He served churches in Trenton, N.J., Rochester, N.Y., and Williamsport, Pa. Reprinted from New Horizons, June 1996.

To lead their nearly 13-hour filibuster aimed at blocking a contentious abortion bill, Texas Democrats turned Tuesday to a 50-year-old lawmaker who pulled herself up from a tough background as a teenage mother to graduate from Harvard law school.
Once dismissed by Gov. Rick Perry as a "show horse," Sen. Wendy Davis has earned a reputation for being willing to spar with the state dominant political party and its leaders.
"She's a total fighter," said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund and daughter of the late former Texas governor Ann Richards. "And the thing about Senator Davis, she says he's going to do something, she gets it done."
Davis, 50, starting working at age 14 to help support a household of her single mother with three siblings. By 19, she was already married and divorced with a child of her own. After community college, she graduated from Texas Christian University before being accepted to Harvard Law School. According to her website, Davis graduated Harvard Law with honors.
She returned to Texas, where she became a Fort Worth city council member before staging a political upset to beat an incumbent Republican to win a seat in the state Senate.
"We knew about her on the City Council," said Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston. "And we knew her track record as someone you could count on in the heat of battle ... She's been a leader on women's health and women's issues."
Davis has clashed with Texas Republicans almost since arriving in the Capitol, earning derision and respect for her ability to dissect a complex bill and make her opponents squirm under tough questioning.
In 2011, Davis led a short filibuster on the final night of the regular session that torpedoed a key budget bill to allow the state to cut more than $4 billion from public education. Despite warnings that the filibuster would be futile because Perry would immediately call lawmakers back into special session to pass the bill again, Davis and Democrats carried on, taking the short-term victory.
Hundreds of orange-clad abortion rights activists who jammed into the Senate gallery Tuesday cheered her arrival with thunderous applause and shouts of "Go Wendy!" and "Thank you Wendy!"
Davis waived to acknowledge their support but also to urge for quiet and respect the chambers rules of decorum
"I'm rising on the floor today to humbly give voice to thousands of Texans who are being ignored," she said when her speech began, later adding: "These voices have been silenced by a governor who made blind partisanship and personal political ambition the priority of our state."
An avid runner and cyclist, Davis was in good shape for the physical challenge of standing and talking for nearly 13 hours.
Because the rules wouldn't allow her to sit down, her chair was removed when she began her marathon speech. Davis wore tennis shoes and shifted her weight from hip to hip as the hours ticked by.
To stay sharp, Davis slowly circled her desk, pausing occasionally to read from a large binder on her desk. When a solitary male protester stood in the Senate gallery and shouted, "Abortion is genocide!" Davis calmly kept talking to without interruption as the man was removed by security.
At one point, Davis fought through tears to read testimony from women who opposed the bill and described their personal stories.

Tuesday February 21st marks a special anniversary that will most probably be overlooked.
It happens to be the 70th anniversary of the United States replacing Great Britain as the world's number one power.
After fighting two world wars, Britain was faced with three major international crises all at once.
The new British Labour government had already announced plans to give independence to India, after two centuries of British rule. This led to turmoil on the sub-continent between Hindus and Muslims. British troops tried to keep the peace.
At the same time Palestine exploded. In 1946 Jewish nationalists blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, British military headquarters in the mandated territory, killing 91 people.
The first two problems occurred on British territories; the third was in Greece, where communists were trying to take over the country.
At the same time, Britain was broke, following the two major global conflicts of the first half of the twentieth century. Early in 1947, economic problems at home meant that Britain could no longer allocate funds to the conflict in Greece. They decided to inform Washington to see if America wanted to take over.
"On Friday, February 21st" the Secretary of State General George C. Marshall, left the State Department early to attend the bicentennial celebrations of Princeton University and receive an honorary degree. Then the British Embassy telephoned to say it had two urgent notes." As these notes were urgent, Dean Acheson, the Under-Secretary of State, asked the Embassy's first secretary to deliver them rather than wait until the Monday. "Recalling this episode in later years, Acheson wrote, "They were shockers"."
"It was not being asked to provide aid to Greece that was shocking. The State Department was already preparing a plan for aid. It was the fact that Britain was pulling out and proposing to hand over responsibility. After all, the US Joint Chiefs of Staff had advised the previous year: 'The defeat or disintegration of the British Empire would eliminate from Eurasia the last bulwark of resistance between the US and Soviet expansion . . . Our present position as a world power is of necessity closely interwoven with that of Britain , , ,
"This was a momentous change. For two centuries Britain had been the dominant power in the eastern Mediterranean. Now it seemed to be surrendering that role in two key countries. It is often said that Americans lack a historical sense that Europeans have, but on this occasion it was the Americans who saw the historical significance of that moment. To British ministers, battling from day to day to keep the country's head above water, this seemed to be just a temporary retrenchment in one area. None of them appeared to see any larger implications in the decision. The American view was put in grandiloquent terms by Joseph M. Jones, who was in the State Department at the time: 'Reading the messages, Hickerson realized, as had Henderson before him, that Great Britain had within the hour handed the job of world leadership, with all its burdens and all its glory, to the United States." ("Picking up the reins," Norman Moss, 2008, page 64, italics mine).
The whole world did not recognize the change immediately, It was to be another ten years before it became clear to all. At the end of 1956 the Suez Canal crisis showed that London could not do anything without American support. Soon afterward, the US was encouraging Britain to dismantle its empire and then to join the European Union (then the European Economic Community).
US vs EU
It's ironic then that, over the weekend, at the Munich Security Conference, "leading German foreign policy experts" called "on the EU to reposition itself on the world stage, replacing the United States as the West's 'torchbearer.' Since Washington's change of government, the United States no longer 'qualifies as the symbol of the West's political and moral leadership, according to Wolfgang Ischinger, Chair of the Munich Security Conference. It is therefore up to Europe 'to make up for this loss.'" (GermanForeignPolicy.com)
That's easier said than done. But the EU could be the world's dominant military power for the simple reason that it is the world's biggest trading power. That's the main reason why the US took over from Great Britain. Economic power = military power. The US is struggling economically which is one reason why President Trump is demanding the Europeans pay more for NATO. Of course, the Europeans have their own financial problems, but they have an urgent need to protect themselves from both Russia and Islamic terrorism. If they are going to have to pay more for defense, why not go-it-alone? Especially when they no longer have confidence in American leadership.
One of the first superpowers, Babylon, was predicted to last "seventy years" (Jeremiah 25:12 & 29:10), illustrating how seventy is a significant number. In Psalm 90:10, Moses was inspired to write that "our days may come to seventy years," the lifespan of many human beings. Perhaps more significantly in the rise and fall of nations is the fact that, after seven decades, most people have forgotten everything. Few today remember World War II. Few remember that Baron Ismay, Secretary General of NATO from 1952-55, described the alliance as intended to "keep the Russians out, the Americans in and the Germans down." In the current debate on the future of the alliance, this has been completely forgotten.
Dismantle the alliance and two things will happen: 1) the American president will no longer be "the Leader of the Free World;" and 2) Germany will become the undisputed Leader of Europe (she already is economically). On the 70th anniversary of America's ascendancy, the Munich conference saw nations actively discussing the end of America's pre-eminence.
President Trump in Washington and Vice-President Mike Pence, who addressed the conference, may see themselves as being in the lead, calling the shots, insisting on changes within the alliance; but the other member nations have the choice of forming their own military alliance, which will not be led by the United States.
As with the change seventy years ago, it may take a while to fully emerge, but this is the direction we are heading in. On Sunday, Germany's Chancellor, Angela Merkel, announced she is seeking closer ties with Russia to bring about the defeat of ISIS.
It might be good for Washington's new leaders to take a lesson from the great nineteenth century German Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, who once observed that a great power, to survive, must be "one of three" in a world governed by "five." Note the following:
"Of the five original great powers recognized at the Congress of Vienna, only France and the United Kingdom have maintained that status continuously to the present day, although France was defeated in the Franco-Prussian War and occupied during World War II. After the Congress of Vienna, the British Empire emerged as the pre-eminent power, due to its navy and the extent of its territories, which signaled the beginning of the Pax Britannica and of the Great Game between the UK and Russia. The balance of power between the Great Powers became a major influence in European politics, prompting Otto von Bismarck to say "All politics reduces itself to this formula: try to be one of three, as long as the world is governed by the unstable equilibrium of five great powers." ("Great Power," Wikipedia)
In 1914, the German and Austrian empires went to war with the British, French and Russian empires. Germany was one of two in a world governed by five. The Germans lost. They repeated the same mistake in World War II, when Germany and Japan were the two, in a world still governed by five. The three opposing powers were Britain, America and Russia. Again, the Germans lost.
The five major powers right now are the EU, China, the United States, Japan and Russia (a great military power, but not so great economically). The US remains in alliance with the countries of the EU and Japan, making it one of three in a world governed by five. If the EU separates from the US, that will reduce America to being one of two.
This all may seem incredible with almost daily news of set-backs in the EU. France and Holland may leave after elections early this year; Greece and Italy have serious financial problems, which may affect the euro. But the fact remains that Germany dominates the continent and Germany is putting together a European military force to rival America's. The Munich security conference showed the will is there, boosted considerably by the change of administration in Washington.
Daniel 2:21 says that God is behind the rise and fall of nations. "And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings." It could be, that after seventy years, the American Era is coming to an end. Munich this weekend showed that many want to see that happen.
Something to think about as the US passes its seventieth anniversary!

This groom is giving what appears to be (and actually might be, in the end) a very heartfelt toast about an important person in his life that is "no longer with us." When he asks his new family—who are apparently all Manchester City supporters—to stand and toast this influential person, he pulls the rug right out from under them.
The best part is how the bride sits down, refusing to partake in toasting Sir Alex Ferguson, the longtime manager of Man City's bitter rival. Bonus points to the groom for setting the joke up on a truthful premise, since as of this May—in a manner of speaking—Ferguson is no longer with us. The groom then goes on to mention someone named Kenny who, though he may have passed, would have preferred the joke to any sappy sentimentalizing.

Vice President, Microsoft U.S. federal government unit
5 IT priorities for 2009
5 technology waves to ride in 2009
The top challenges include security, server consolidation, virtualization, infrastructure optimization, social networking, Web 2.0, collaboration, unified communication, project management solutions and business analytics.
The top two I'd say are business analytics and through-the-Web 2.0 capabilities around social and cloud computing.
I don't think agencies have embraced the full usage of those technologies yet, but they're very interested in how they can start adding to their enterprise road map and take advantage of those.
Another challenge for agency CIOs and CTOs…is being in alignment with President Obama's agenda and his key priorities — and determining how agencies will work effectively and efficiently with this new government CTO role.
Agency CIOs and CTOs will need to look at new ways to innovate - using things like cloud services, consolidating data centers — so they can take budget dollars and start innovating with new capabilities and technologies that will get them to the next level — and adapting these technologies for a changing workforce. Look at how the new president raised money and communicates: It's all across the Web.
Regarding what's changing at Microsoft Federal, I think the federal government team probably challenges our product groups more than any on innovation.
One of the innovations we're working on is virtualization. The other game changer is our BPOS – business productivity online services. Agencies today aren't jumping on the cloud services bandwagon. But many are using these services already: If you look at the way agencies get their patches and updates pushed to them — that's all Web-based technology.
So we have the new world of work. But now we have a new way to work. For federal employees, and the priority around telework and virtual work, that's what these online services will help provide, with mobile applications in a Web browser-based ability to use Office, PowerPoint, Excel, Word and SharePoint.

A mom chronicles famous daughter's journey
Houston's Monique Enos is one proud mom. As audiences watch the blockbuster movie "World War Z," they will see Enos' daughter, Mireille Enos, the auburn-haired wife of Brad Pitt, as she frantically protects her children from a zombie pandemic.
"It was scary, but you've got to see it," Enos said about her daughter's movie.
What audiences don't see is the journey that it took for Mireille (pronounced MeeRay) Enos to reach stardom and the mother who stood behind her.
Though French-born Monique Enos always wanted to be an actress herself, she followed a different path when she married her American husband, Jon, and had five children.
While Enos worked as a French and Spanish teacher, she encouraged her children in their talents as they attended Houston's High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. In addition to Mireille, two of her children became actors, one a dancer, and one a musician and artist.
Mireille Enos caught the acting bug early. "She always knew that she wanted to be an actress," her mother said.
At Mireille Enos' childhood home in Sugar Land, her mother reminisced with 30-year-old scrapbooks, online albums and photos of her famous daughter hanging on the walls.
"She was inspired by theater at a young age when she went to see her older siblings in (high school) plays," Enos said.
At HSPVA she developed a talent for theater, not only in acting but in costume and set design. Enos recalled the days of commuting to HSPVA on her way to work, then staying late to pick her daughter up from play practice. She also helped her daughter practice her lines and made sure she attended to her home-study seminary class for the Mormon church.
"She was a hard worker and always got good grades," Enos said.
Mireille Enos received a first-place scholarship award in the Musicfest Theater Art competition for her role as Anne Frank during her senior year.
The Big Apple
After high school, Mireille Enos attended Brigham Young University, where she studied theater and won the prestigious Irene Ryan award. At BYU she had made friends with Roger Benington, who went on to study directing at the Juilliard School. She got the lead role in a play he was directing in New York.
"She did the starving-actress bit and was a waitress at a French restaurant, Le Singe Vert, the Green Monkey," Enos said. "She speaks perfect French."
Mireille Enos won the only female role in Tom Stoppard's "Invention of Love" with Robert Sean Leonard. During her time on Broadway, she also worked her way into television with guest roles on "CSI" and "Without a Trace."
In 2005, she was nominated for a Tony Award for her portrayal of Honey in Edward Albee's "Who'se Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" with Kathleen Turner. Later that year, the play was reprised in London's West End.
Hollywood starlet
After London, Mireille Enos moved to Los Angeles. Her big TV break came when she got a dual role on HBO's "Big Love" as Kathy and JoDean Marquart. Monique Enos recalled how the casting directors were so pleased with her daughter's work that they cast her as Detective Sarah Linden in AMC's "The Killing," now in its third season.
She was also cast in a small yet significant role in "Gangster Squad," with Josh Brolin, Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. But Monique Enos thinks "World War Z" will be her daughter's breakout film. "Every step was a progression."
She's also in two dramatic films led by Canadian director Atom Egoyan: the "Devil's Knot" with Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth, set for release later this year, and "Queen of the Night" with Ryan Reynolds, coming in 2014.
And she will appear on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" on Wednesday.
Family life
Besides having a famous daughter, Monique Enos also has a famous son-in-law. She recalled how Mireille Enos met her husband, Alan Ruck, best known for his role as Cameron Frye in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." They were in a Broadway play together in 2005.
Ruck was smitten, and although Mireille Enos left for London for a few months shortly after they met, he called her long-distance every night. They married in 2008. Two years later, their daughter, Vesper Vivianne Ruck, was born.
Monique Enos often spends her vacation tending Vesper on location as her daughter works.
When asked what 'Mireille' means, Enos explained she had a good friend named Mireille and that it is a famous name in Provence, the region where she is from, because of Frederic Mistral's Provencal poem about star-crossed lovers, "Mireio," written in 1859.
"Mireille means 'admiration,' or 'full of wonder,' " Enos said.
The name seems to suit her. It's difficult not to admire this Houston girl with big dreams that came true. No one admires her more than her mother.

The importance of levelling and anti-vibration equipment
Equipment and machines that are subjected to a lot of noise, heat, shocks and vibrations can get badly damaged, which not only affects the lifespan of machinery, but also efficiency and safety. This often leads to equipment needing more frequent repairs and replacements, which can be costly.
This can cause a lot of damage to machinery in the long run, which is why levelling and vibration control is important to help keep machines working effectively for longer. It also prevent vibrations from impacting surrounding machines and structures.
Levelling and vibration control systems are used for many types of equipment including generators, pumps, motors and HVAC equipment.
Benefits of levelling and vibration control
Reducing premature failure of equipment by providing shock absorption and vibration dampening, plus help processes run more smoothly and quietly.
Having the right type of vibration control is vital for any piece of machinery to run effectively, which is why theres a variety of anti-vibration products available to suit different machines and accommodate different weights and environments.
Whats more, as regulations and customer demands become stricter, the need for high-quality, durable and effective anti-vibration mounts continues to rise.
We offer an extensive range of products to help – choose from vibration isolators, rubber mounts, wire rope mounts, conical mounts, machine feet and more. Browse solutions from industry leading brands, as well as our own high-quality range RS PRO.

SUNY Canton Staff Member Receives Northstar AwardMonday, May 12th, 2014
The SUNY Canton student body has recognized SUNY Canton's grants coordinator for her contributions to the College and the community.
JoAnne M. Fassinger is the recipient of the 2014 Northstar Award, an honor that is given by the students annually to a faculty or staff member who makes the College a better place. Fassinger was among the honorees and award recipients that were recognized during SUNY Canton's Commencement May 10.
"I love being part of our campus community," Fassinger said. "Through my work, I am able to assist faculty and staff with securing funding for new and improved tools for student learning, to develop new programs and curriculum, and most importantly, to help students be successful with reaching their academic and personal goals."
As grants coordinator, she is responsible for matching faculty requirements with resources available from private foundations and government agencies. The grant funding she has acquired has enriched the educational experience for countless SUNY Canton students, as well as college-bound high school students in the North Country.
As the SUNY Canton Habitat for Humanity campus chapter adviser, she has led alternative spring break trips to construct and renovate homes for low-income families throughout the East Coast.
"Many students look up to Mrs. Fassinger as a role model," said Miss Melissa Cummins, Habitat for Humanity campus chapter president and Veterinary Technology major. "She is incredibly encouraging and brings out the best in all of us."
Fassinger is an active contributor to campus life through her volunteer work at orientation and leadership of recycling initiatives. Her dedication to SUNY Canton earned her the 2012 Excellence in College Service award.
She received her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Arizona.

Michael Phelps has always said he'd be willing to follow his coach, Bob Bowman, just about anywhere. After the Beijing Olympics, it looks as if Phelps will be following him right back to Baltimore.
Bowman -- Phelps' personal coach since he was 11 years old -- resigned yesterday as coach at the University of Michigan to take over as CEO of the North Baltimore Aquatic Club, and said that Phelps will be coming with him to live and train, once again, in Charm City.
The pair has been in Ann Arbor since 2004, with Bowman serving as Wolverines coach as well as guiding Club Wolverine, the club Phelps swims for. The move won't take place until after the Summer Games in August, although Phelps, 22, has already purchased a place to live in Baltimore.
"Michael and I discussed it extensively," Bowman said. "His focus right now is really on the Olympics, and after that he's got a lot of stuff planned. But he loves Baltimore, too. It's always been his home."
Bowman, 43, will take over the position currently held by Murray Stephens, 62, who has built the program over his 38 years as chief executive of NBAC. Stephens hired Bowman in 1996 when Bowman was about to quit coaching and go back to school.
"I was actually going to go take a position as a graduate assistant at Auburn and make like $10,000 a year when Murray called me up and offered a job," Bowman said. "I did it for a few years, and then this kid named Michael ended up in my group."
Also in 1996, Stephens purchased the Meadowbrook Aquatic Center in Baltimore, the primary home of the aquatic club. He raised and borrowed enough money to turn it into one of the best private facilities on the East Coast. It currently has more than 200 swimmers of all age groups.
Since its inception in 1967, NBAC has developed 10 Olympic athletes who have won a total of 11 gold, two silver and three bronze medals. In Athens, Phelps won six gold medals and two bronze.
Stephens said he'll stay on at NBAC and focus on a number of jobs, including financial management, facility improvement and development.
"Let's be blunt about it: I still love coaching, and I still coach almost every day," he said. "But I saw this as an opportunity for us to do now rather than wait three years or four years. ... For me, it's about putting the program on track for the next 20 years."
Stephens said he and Bowman have been discussing the move for several months, but decided to announce it now to give Michigan a chance to name a new coach before recruiting season heated up. Bowman guided Michigan to the 2008 Big Ten title and recently finished sixth at the NCAA championships.
"It was extremely hard," Bowman said of breaking the news to his team. "They're a fantastic group."
Bowman said he's making the move, in part, because he wanted more control over his own destiny and wants to be more involved with the business aspect of swimming. He also owns a farm in the Baltimore area and several race horses, and has dreams of training them full time.
Bowman said the status of Paul Yetter -- NBAC's senior elite coach who guides the career of Katie Hoff, a five-time world champion -- won't change.
Having Hoff and Phelps, perhaps the two best swimmers in the world right now, will be quite the recruiting tool.
"Murray views this as kind of the next step in the evolution of NBAC," Bowman said. "As always, we're going to keep our focus on being the No. 1 program in the country, if not the world."
Said Stephens: "I'm very excited, and I take it as kind of a personal compliment that Bob and Mike want to come back. Not that they really ever left emotionally."

Odyssey "Native New Yorker" (1977)
The above video for Odyssey's timeless 1977 hit "Native New Yorker" - written by Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell and also recorded by Frankie Valli, Esther Phillips, and Black Box - incorporates alongside the performance footage some cool shots of New York City's skyline and streets from back in the mid seventies.
Meanwhile today in NYC climate change is on peoples' minds. Yes, with Earth Day NYC 2014 coming up Tuesday, April 22nd, the topic of climate change will be unavoidable since starting late last night (April 15th) and continuing this morning there was an unexpected snowfall - in mid April! Sure it was just a light dusting of snow overnight but considering this is Spring when typically high temps are in the 70's and sunscreen, not snow gear, is what New Yorkers are packing before leaving the house this is highly unusual and another reminder that climate change is very real and very serious.

Harp Song for a Radical: The Life and Times of Eugene Victor Debs
Eugene Debs is the radical of Marguerite Young's title, but the special pleasures of her book flow from its vast and bizarre cast of supporting characters. Debs has barely been introduced before we are whisked off to Europe to meet the German poet Heinrich Heine, Karl Marx, and assorted utopian mystics. At book's end, 580 pages later, we are in Russia with Fyodor Dostoevsky, whose death sentence has been commuted at the last possible moment.
Along the way the widow Mary Todd Lincoln, crossing the Atlantic, is saved by Sarah Bernhardt from a bad fall; the angel Moroni directs Joseph Smith to the gold tablets that will become the Mormon Bible. Mark Twain tries to read it and pronounces it "chloroform in print." We are introduced to Susan Anthony's mother, "poor creature," exhausted by child-bearing, who "wished many times to die as she saw [her husband] approach with the love light burning in his eyes."
Edward A. Hannegan, an Indiana politician, becomes ambassador to Prussia, bows "to kiss the blushing hand of the fair queen," thus rousing her jealous husband to such "absolute rage and horror" that he sends Hannegan back to the Wabash, "his whole life wrecked." Hannegan decides to seek the presidency so he can get revenge by making war on Prussia, only to wreck his life again by murdering his brother-in-law in a drunken rage. Tears splash down the "granite cheeks" of Woodrow Wilson when he hears that James Whitcomb Riley, author of Little Orphant Annie, is dead.
Just when it seems that the book will cram in everybody but Uncle Tom Cobbleigh and Whistler's mother, who should appear on page 546 but "a stiffly corseted…Bible thumper of an evangelical reformist spirit"? That's right: it's Whistler's mother handing out religious tracts in Russia. Accompanying Whistler's father on a railroad-building job for the tsar, she is trying to save the Russian Orthodox soul by distributing printed matter with "Simple Simon Bible truth, American style, the text in Russian so simple that not only a Russian serf but a Russian muley cow might understand" it.
People who love stories ought to be delighted with this book. If you are a crusty stick-in-the-mud about historical precision, you are more likely to ask, "What kind of book is this anyhow?" It isn't what now passes for biography, which usually means every inconsequential fact a writer can find to inflate a fifty-page life into a six-hundred-page doorstop. Nor is it history in the sense that finicky historians think of history.
Here's the kind of book it is:
On page 391, Ohio's distinguished political family, the Harrisons, who gave us "Old Tippecanoe" and President Benjamin too, are burying old Congressman John Scott Harrison when they notice that the grave of his recently interred young nephew looks "as if it had been trampled over by a drove of long-snouted hogs." Suspicion points to agents of a "capitalism extended beyond normal procedures"; to wit, a grave robber, some "resurrectionist" employed to provide educational materials for…

FREDERICK, Md. (AP) — Frederick County's top prosecutor is promising a thorough investigation into the death in police custody of a man with Down syndrome.
State's Attorney Charlie Smith said Wednesday he has received the investigative file from the Frederick County Sheriff's Office on the death of Robert Ethan Saylor.
Saylor, 26, died of asphyxiation Jan. 12 after three sheriff's deputies tried to forcibly remove him from a Frederick movie theater at the manager's request. The state medical examiner's office has ruled the death a homicide.
Smith says the file doesn't include the final autopsy report on Saylor. He says his office will need that document to complete its investigation.
Smith will then decide whether to bring criminal charges against the officers, or to present evidence to a grand jury.

Redskins' Robert Griffin III has surgery on torn knee ligament, to determine extent of damage
Joseph White
WASHINGTON — Robert Griffin III had surgery Wednesday morning to repair a torn ligament and to determine whether there was any other damage in his ailing right knee.
A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that the procedure was expected to last about two hours. The person said orthopedist James Andrews planned to repair a torn lateral collateral ligament and examine the state of Griffin's ACL.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Redskins had not made an announcement about the latest details surrounding the rookie quarterback's injury.
A torn LCL requires a rehabilitation period of several months, possibly extending into training camp and the start of next season. A torn ACL is a more severe injury, typically requiring nine to 12 months of recovery, although Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson made a remarkable return this season some eight months after tearing an ACL — and nearly broke the NFL's single-season rushing record
Griffin was optimistic before he entered surgery, tweeting early Wednesday: "Thank you for your prayers and support. I love God, my family, my team, the fans, & I love this game. See you guys next season."
Griffin reinjured his knee at least twice in Sunday's playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks, prompting a national debate over whether coach Mike Shanahan endangered Griffin's career by not taking his franchise player out of the game sooner.
The first major injury to his knee came in 2009, when Griffin tore the ACL in the third game of the season while playing for Baylor. Griffin missed the rest of the year but returned in 2010 and won the Heisman Trophy in 2011.
Griffin sprained the LCL last month when he was hit by Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata at the end of a 13-yard scramble. Griffin missed one game and returned to play three more with a knee brace, his mobility clearly hindered.
Then, on Sunday, Griffin hurt the knee again as he fell awkwardly while throwing a pass in the first quarter against the Seahawks. He remained in the game, with Shanahan saying he trusted Griffin's word that all was OK.
Griffin finally departed in the fourth quarter, after the knee buckled while he was trying to field a bad shotgun snap.
The No. 2 overall pick in last year's draft, Griffin was one of several rookie quarterbacks to make an instant impact on the NFL this season. He set the league record for best season passer rating by a rookie QB and led the Redskins to their first NFC East title in 13 years.
But he also had to leave three games early due to injuries — two because of his knee and one because of a concussion — and missed a fourth altogether because of the knee.

Dec 17 (Reuters) - Washington Redskins offensive lineman Jordan Black has been suspended four games by the National Football League on Monday for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances.
Black, who appeared in 12 games for the Redskins this season, will be eligible to return to the active roster the day after the fourth regular-season or post-season game, the league said in a statement released by the Redskins.
The Redskins (8-6), who have two regular season games left in the 2012 NFL season, moved to the top of the NFC East on Sunday with a 38-21 win over the Cleveland Browns that has them moving toward the playoffs. (Reporting by Steve Keating in Toronto; Editing by Frank Pingue)

Kevin Smith On Why You Don't Have To Be Kevin Smith To Try Innovative New Things
from the and-anyone-who-tells-you-otherwise-should-be-ignored dept
It's become a bit of a running joke that whenever a creator finds success with an innovative new business model, detractors insist that it's the exception rather than the rule—that it only worked because the artist was big, or small, or medium-sized, or whatever. A commenter once dubbed this Masnick's Law (which has since turned up on Urban Dictionary). This most often comes up in relation to music, but it's just as true of other creative industries, and especially film—with one example being Kevin Smith's unique DIY distribution plan for his movie Red State, which critics claimed would only work for him and no-one else.
Joshua Jones points us to video of a Google+ Hangout organized by MyFoxLA, in which Kevin Smith answers questions from fans (full video embedded below). At the nine minute mark, one participant asks him about these criticisms of his Red State business model, and Smith's response is (as usual) pure gold:
Anyone that tells you "oh he could do it because he's Kevin Smith"—tell 'em horseshit, man. That's somebody who's trying to tell you "don't try, you can't try, he did it, he can do it, you can't do it." Don't listen to that shit man. Think of life and progress as a game—I always think of it in terms of a game of hockey. When you're skating with the puck towards the net there's always a motherfucker trying to hook you from behind, just to slow you up enough, 'cause nobody wants to see anybody succeed. So don't listen to that. When you hear somebody go "well of course he could do it, he's Kevin Smith"—those same assholes, before I did it, were like "it's never gonna work, it's dumb, he crazy". And then when it worked, they didn't go like "you know what? we were wrong"—instead they say "well only he could do it because he's Kevin Smith" and I say horseshit. Kevin Smith wasn't always Kevin Smith, nor was Kevin Smith the little kid that pulled the fucking sword from the stone.
Smith goes on to note that the opposite is also true—just because the Red State approach has potential for others doesn't mean it's good for everyone. His success isn't rooted in the specifics of what he did, but rather in the underlying philosophy of connecting with fans and offering them something more than just another movie:
Now am I going to say like, this is the only way it should ever be done forever? No but you're always looking for alternatives, because the old method doesn't so much work anymore. You can't just put a commercial on TV and expect a bunch of people to show up and see it at the movie theatres. They have too many choices. They can just stay home and surf porn on the internet. Why would you want to go see The Avengers when you can watch like three people having sex from the privacy of your own home? You're competing for attention, and in a world where you're competing for attention, you have to figure out ways to make it more interesting for the audience to come out. It's no longer enough to be like "here's the movie, come see it".
This is a point we've made many times—there is no magic bullet solution that will work for every content creator—but Smith, in his signature style, really hammers it home. Fans are eager to spend money on artists who connect with them and give them a reason to buy, but every fan-base is unique, so those connections and those reasons are never going to be identical.

Dallas Dem admits former work as prostitute
House candidate admits former work as prostitute
DALLAS — A Dallas Democrat seeking election to the Texas House of Representatives has acknowledged that he once worked as a prostitute.
Tom Malin, a salesman and actor, said he no longer works as a prostitute but conceded that his previous life could cost him the nomination in the March 7 Democratic primary.
"I've made mistakes in my life, and I've stood before my creator and I've accepted responsibility for my behavior," Malin told The Dallas Morning News for its editions today.
"I've also accepted his grace and his redemption and his love and his forgiveness," and that's what is important, he said.
Archived versions of Web sites that are now defunct advertise the services of a male escort identified as Todd Sharpe. The phone number listed with Sharpe belongs to Malin, The Morning News reported.
Malin, who once was a member of the Dallas Citizens Police Review Board, has also worked as a Mary Kay salesman and performed in Dallas-area theater productions. His candidate Web page describes him as a managing director for the marketing arm of a Dallas electricity provider.
Malin faces retired salesman Jack Borden in the Democratic primary. The winner will face incumbent Republican Dan Branch in November in a race to represent a district covering much of central Dallas.
On his candidate Web page, Malin said he is "committed to giving our families a voice in Austin, with a focus on education, the economy, and restoring a 'spirit of ethics' to our State House."
He said Thursday that he would stay in the race.
"I don't regret my past, nor do I wish to shut the door on my past," he said. "I think anyone who has made mistakes in their lives can be a viable member of community and society."
Former Dallas County Democratic chairwoman Susan Hays, a Malin supporter, said the candidate had informed her about his past.
"He's been a mess, but righted himself," she said. "He's got more honesty and energy than his Democratic opponent and Dan Branch."
The Dallas Tejano Democrats endorsed Malin on Thursday, before the group learned of Malin's prostitution. Chairman Domingo Garcia said Malin did not mention his past during candidate screening.
"Obviously we will have to reconsider our decision based on the new information," Garcia said.
Malin said he's been sober for 13 years after being addicted to alcohol. He said he grew up in an abusive household and that he was abused physically, emotionally and sexually as a child.
Malin said people care about where you're going, not where you've been.
"I know that there are people that can benefit from my experience," he said. "This is not about winning an election; this is about empowerment. There is a higher calling and a higher message involved in this."

WBC Power Rankings: Week 2
1. United States (1)- What's the reasoning for splitting innings between Derek Jeter and Jimmy Rollins? I'd personally go with Rollins. They're both similar hitters except he adds more speed and a significant upgrade in the field. Doesn't seem to be having a negative effect on either though, Rollins is hitting .600 and Jeter is at .400.
2. Japan (4) – Daisuke Matsuzaka is now 4-0 all-time in the WBC, look for 22-year-old Yu Darvish to follow in his footsteps and become the next big Japanese pitcher.
3. Cuba (5) – Six homers in an easy win over South Africa.
4. Venezuela (3) – Not much pitching depth after Carlos Silva, Armando Galarraga, King Felix and K-Rod as shown by Team USA's 13 runs off their bullpen.
5. Korea (6) – Dangerous team looking to get back to the semi-finals.
6. Puerto Rico (8) – Carlos Delgado (.917 OBP, 1 HR) and Ivan Rodriguez (.545 AVG, 2 HR) are tearing the cover off the ball.
7. Dominican Republic (2) – No comment other than Pedro looks good.
8. Mexico (7) – Hairston Brothers (Scott and Jerry Jr.) were a huge aide in advancing Mexico out of the first round.
9. Canada (9) – Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Phillippe Aumont is absolutely dirty.
10. Netherlands (12) – I'm sure the win means the everything back in Europe but don't buy into this team. They are hitting .151 as a group, ranking dead last in the WBC and the Dominicans got 30 base runners as opposed to their 11 in the two games. They got lucky, very lucky. A hit here and a hit there mixed in with fewer than the six errors they made and D-R is obviously in Miami instead.
11. Australia (14) – Chris Snelling leads a team much improved from '06 Classic when they ranked 13th in pitching (6.85 ERA) and dead last in hitting (.113 AVG).
12. Italy (11) – Upset Canada but not much else to show for '09 Classic.
13. Panama (10) – Never had a chance, two and done without one run to show for it.
14. China (15) – They got their first victory, maybe this is the first stride in the development of Chinese baseball.
15. Taiwan (13) – 7.31 ERA would've been helped a bit if Chien-Ming Wang had been available.
16. South Africa (16) – Join Panama as the only countries yet to win a game, haha, country.

Knitted Hair Bow
Hope you like my latest crafty project. Including the time to figure out the pattern and write it down, this took about 10 minutes. It can be attached to any kind of hair accessory base. Hair clip, band, barrettes, slide, …you get the idea.
The yarn I used was a random ball from my stash. I'm not entirely sure of the yarn type but it is very similar to kid mohair. It felts very easily, but this will only help stabilize the design.
The pattern I used is below. Let me know if you use it. I'd love to see your take on it. Btw, I use standard abbreviations in my patterns. So you can refer to any knitting magazine or book if you're not familiar with the terms.
Kfb = Knit into the front and back of stitch. This increases your row.
What you'll need
10mm Knitting Needles
Mohair or similar yarn
Hair accessory base
C/o 2sts (make sure you leave at least an 8in tail, this is used to attach your button later, and used to attatch to your hair accesories)
1- kfb, kfb [4sts]
2- kfb, k2, kfb [6sts]
3- k2tg, k2, k2tg [4sts]
4- k2tg, k2tg [2sts]
5- k2tg [1st]
Keep last st on needle
c/o 1st
Repeat Rows 1-5, cut yarn leaving 8in to fasten off, threading back through to the centre of the bow with both tails.
Position button in the middle of your bow and sew on using the tails of yarn. Pull tight and secure at back.
To attach to your clip or slide, use a multi-purpose glue that sticks fabric and metal, HT2 would be a good choice.

Last year I received the most wonderful surprise holiday gift ever!
My friend Brooke sent home a Pumpkin Cake Roll with my son in his backpack, from school. She had made four of them, kept one for their dessert that night, froze two of them for future gift-giving, and wrapped one up for me.
She wrapped it in Saran, then put it in a zipper-top plastic bag, and then put that bag in a paper bag. Still, she wasn't sure it would make it all the way home intact (read: without being eaten by a hungry 4th grader!).
What a treat it was to find that while I was spelunking in the backpack! It was so incredibly pretty, and delicious. We ate some for dessert, and I carefully nursed the remaining piece for several days. I practically put a lockbox on it in my refrigerator so it wouldn't get scarfed up immediately.
Today the #SundaySupper group offers gifts from our kitchens. I know there will be lots of preserved items, flavored nuts, cocoa mixes and other jarred things, but I'm here to tell you, for a big wowser of a gift, may I suggest you make someone a Pumpkin Cake Roll? They won't ever forget it…or you!
Recipe: Pumpkin Cake Rolls
Summary: A spiral slice of pumpkin cake with vanilla-scented sweet cream cheese makes this Pumpkin Cake Roll an elegant and fun Thanksgiving or Christmas dessert!
Pumpkin Cake
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Pumpkin Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons margarine
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar (Brooke uses a bit more than 1/2 cup; sweeten to your taste!)
For Assembly
- Margarine for greasing
- Waxed paper
- 2 clean, dry tea towels
- Cookie sheet
- Heat oven to 375F degrees.
- Beat eggs, sugar and pumpkin for 5 minutes. Add soda, flour, salt and cinnamon and beat to combine.
- Cover cookie sheet with waxed paper and spread a bit of margarine on the waxed paper. Pour pumpkin mixture onto the waxed paper and spread it out evenly into a rectangle the size of your cookie sheet. Don't make it too thick or it will be difficult to roll. Bake for 15-18 minutes.
- While cake is baking, combine cream cheese, margarine, vanilla and powdered sugar and beat until well mixed. Set aside.
- When cake is done, take it out of the oven and cut it in half, horizontally. While still hot, with the paper side down, lay each half on separate tea towels. Roll each half with the towel (cake and towel roll together), starting with the longer sides (so it makes the roll long). The tea towel will absorb moisture as the cake cools, preventing it from getting soggy, and helping it keep a rolled shape.
- When cake is cooled, gently unroll and peel waxed paper off. Spread filling over cake and re-roll. Cover cake with towel and refrigerate.
- Slice into thin spirals to serve.
- Can freeze (wrap well).
- Serves 16 or maybe even more (depends on appetites).
Quick notes
Brook says she quadruples the recipe when she gets ready to make these, figuring that if she is going to do the work of one recipe, she might as well make a production line and make a whole lot of them! If you can make one batch, you can make four batches and your work is done.

1966 Ford Mustang Fender Flares - Build Your Own Fender Flares
An Expert Shows You How To Create Dramatic Yet Tasteful Fender Flares Using Common Tools.
Fast cars call for fat tires. Drag racers can get away with installing wheel tubs, bringing the tire in as far as possible. This works well, but what about the guys who need big tires in the front too? Fender flares can give us some room for the extra rubber. They also give us more clearance for lowered cars. The great thing about fender flares is that even if you don't need the wider meats, they look really cool.
Some people have gone overboard with fender flares, giving the car a cartoon-ish look. Fortunately, Jeff Lilly, owner and builder at Jeff Lilly Restorations of San Antonio, agrees with us. Jeff's story started in his early years, working for his father building custom cars in Ohio. When his father retired in 1985, Jeff packed up and moved the shop to San Antonio.
He walked us through the process of grafting tasteful and functional fender flares on their project '66 Mustang Fastback. The Mustang, named "Franken Stang," is a great example of his work because he has refined the style of the car, keeping the appeal of its factory look. The car has undergone many changes at the shop, but the intentions were always the same, to keep the car looking clean and not overdone.
The fender flare modification was inspired by the Trans-Am race cars of the late '60s and early '70s. Instead of starting from scratch and creating the flare from a flat piece of metal, Jeff has found that the '71 reproduction quarter-panels feature a flare that looks great on the early cars. Because it came from the factory, it isn't too large or goofy looking. Being able to use a factory panel also helps keep the flares consistent one wheel to another. These replacement quarter-panels go for around $80, and keep the cost low.
There are some specialty tools involved, but nothing out of reach to the home-based builder. This project can serve as guidance for many makes and models, not just an early Mustang.
What Is A Cleko?There are a handful of absolutely necessary tools in the fabrication of body panels, and a set of Clekos and Cleko pliers are some of them. A Cleko is basically a temporary rivet that can be reused many times. It's purpose is to hold two panels together while adjustments are made.
Most Clekos use a 1/8-inch pilot hole to locate the two panels. The Cleko then is pushed through a hole drilled through the two panels to be temporarily fastened. The pliers depress the button on the top of the Cleko forcing the fingers at the opposite end to retract. You press the Cleko into the hole, and then release the pliers. The fingers force out and hold the two panels together. Removal uses the exact opposite procedure
Local hardware stores probably won't carry Clekos or Cleko pliers because they are a specialty metal fabrication tool. Matco Tools does carry a complete line of Clekos in 1/8-, 3/16-, and 1/4-inch diameters. It's good to keep a decent stash of Clekos because you never know how many you will need. If you want to stock up, 1/8-inch Clekos are the most common.

- Makes 8 to 10 servings
- Crust
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons (or more) ice water
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/4 cup guava jelly or crab apple jelly
- Filling
- 2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Topping
- 1/4 cup guava jelly or crab apple jelly
- 3 small red-fleshed papayas, halved, peeled, seeded, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 2 kiwis, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
- 1 large ripe mango, halved, pitted, peeled, diced
- 2 passion fruits, halved (optional)
- For crust:
- Combine flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and cut in, using on/off turns, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk 2 tablespoons ice water and egg yolk in small bowl. Add to dry ingredients and blend just until soft moist clumps form, adding more water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 13- to 14-inch round. Transfer dough to 11-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Press in overhang, forming double-thick sides. Pierce crust all over with fork. Freeze crust 30 minutes. Bake until golden brown, pressing with back of fork if crust bubbles or slips, about 30 minutes. Transfer crust to rack. Spread jelly over bottom of crust and cool. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
- For filling:
- Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese in large bowl until smooth. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, then vanilla. Add sour cream and beat just to blend.
- Pour filling into tart crust. Bake until filling is slightly puffed and center moves slightly when pan is gently shaken, about 35 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool completely. Refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
- For topping:
- Melt jelly in heavy small saucepan over low heat. Brush over top of cheesecake. Overlap papaya slices atop tart in circle. Arrange kiwis in overlapping slices in center. Sprinkle mango around edge. Spoon pulp of passion fruits into center of tart, if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 3 hours.

More info needed for best answer. Hsv1 or Hsv2? There are many possibilities. You could have been exposed outside of the "home" region of the virus type, thus making the virus weaker in that area. You may have had and may continue to have outbreaks, but don't notice the symptoms. Have you ever had a cold? That is an hsv outbreak that people don't typically attribute to hsv because they may have no skin symptoms at all. You could have a strain with low or no histamine response, so no obvious skin symptoms. You may just have a really strong immune system and your antibodies have suppressed a full-blown outbreak. Yes, you are far less transmissible if you don't have skin sores or rashes. However, even when the virus is in a latent or dormant state, Hsv2 may shed virus strands 5 days/month and Hsv1 may shed 1 day/month. Someone with no previous exposure to your type can contract the virus from these shed partial strands because they have no antibodies to suppress the infection. This risk can be greatly reduced by taking an antiviral.
