Both Chavis Heights are memories now -- the tight-knit community that was a center of black Raleigh culture for decades as well as the aged, crime-troubled place that the public housing complex had become before it was emptied in 2004 and demolished.
Former residents celebrated the first version Saturday with an annual reunion, ignored the second and tried to figure out what to think of the coming third version, a "mixed-income" project with some units at market-rate prices and others subsidized.
For now there are just new roads, piles of red clay and stacks of cinder blocks. But when construction is done by late 2007, the $20 million project will include a 55-unit apartment building for senior citizens, 73 townhouses, and 40 one-bedroom apartment "villas." More than 50 off-site houses for public housing tenants were also bought for lease and possible purchase.
"A lot of people don't like it," said Bobbie Archible, who moved into Chavis Heights in 1952 when she was 4 years old and left in the late 1960s. "At a time when you've got such a serious problem with homeless people, here you've got all these rules to get back in."
If the Raleigh Housing Authority can use the transition to filter out troublemakers, at least that would be a plus, she said. But the old place meant so much that even with its recent woes, losing it left a gaping hole in Raleigh history.
"For me, it's like the city has come in and taken our roots," she said. "Chavis Heights was a start for so many powerful black people in Raleigh."
She suggested some sort of monument so that history isn't forgotten.
The old complex, with 296 apartments, was completed in 1941 and became famous as a place where folks looked out for each other and working-class parents could launch their kids into better lives. Former residents became lawyers, judges, college professors and police officers.
"Everybody in the neighborhood was your momma, and you better do what they said because if it got back to your momma that you didn't, you were in real trouble then," said Malinda Holloway, who moved in when she was 6 months old and left in 1979, when she was 23.
Some of the more than 200 people at Saturday's reunion worried that the qualifications for living in the new Chavis Heights would keep out some former residents. People who lived there just before demolition will have a one- to three-month window to apply to return. Those under age 65 must be employed, and the housing for senior citizens will be income-restricted.
"I'd love to be able to come back, but things have changed so much I don't know that I could meet the restrictions," said Sheila Nesmith of Raleigh, who moved into the complex when she was a child and left about eight years ago. She's interested in the new senior housing.
Holloway said that she, too, would like to live in the senior building. She thinks that redevelopment will be great if it turns out like a similar project, the housing authority's demolition and reconstruction of crime-ridden Halifax Court.
Now called Capitol Park, it is also a mixed-income community. It has drawn good reviews for improving its neighborhood but criticism from some community leaders for offering less public housing than before.
The key, Holloway said, is background checks and tight reins not so much on income as behavior.
"The rules were stricter when I was a kid, and things were fine," she said. "But later it just went down, and I think part of it was that they just wanted the money and didn't care who they let in."
For some, the picnic fare at the reunion -- hot dogs and hamburgers -- conjured the dozens of grills that used to scent the air across Chavis Heights on summer nights. Archible reminisced about roller-skating, a long-gone dance pavilion and learning new steps on the roofs of the low sheds where lawn mowers were stored.
Used to be, she said, on a Saturday like this one there would be softball games and kids playing everywhere.
Instead, on the playing field behind the Chavis Heights community center, two Latino soccer teams ran up and down the grass.
Janis Clark, 50, who lived at Chavis Heights for the first 14 years of her life, said that of course things have to change. The new complex will probably be fine, she said, as long as access to the housing is fair and equitable.
"It could never be the same," she said. "But the world is different, and, you know, we aren't the same either."

As I watched the playful banter between Lincoln presenters John and Betty Mansfield during the Skirmish at Jeffersonville Battle re-enactment last week, I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw Al Stone from Hinton seated on a bale of straw and laughing along with the audience. John Mansfield is a great presenter of President Abraham Lincoln, and Stone is a great presenter of General Robert E. Lee. I continued watching the show and watching Stone's reaction and I found myself drawn into the setting.
Since I was covering the skirmish as an event, I knew I couldn't listen to the entire presentation so I got up from my seat and started looking for my next opportunity. Al Stone was standing in line at a mobile shot-order food stand near the tent where the Mansfields were making their presentations. My job is to bother people, but I don't customarily bother people while they're stuck in a line, waiting to get something to eat. However, the context of the moment seemed so unique, that I couldn't resist walking over and talking to him.
I get my share of people coming up to me when I'm stuck in lines, and that's why I hesitated. However, Mr. Stone was magnanimous and we talked for a while. He told me that he really enjoyed Mansfield's presentation as Abraham Lincoln. He thought he established a good rapport with the audience and added that he had obviously researched the subject and knew Lincoln's story from both a public and private side.
Stone is, himself, well-versed on the historical character he presents. I had seen him before at various events and even spoke with him once a few years ago during an event at the Bronze Look in Princeton. Most of the times that we have met, he was in character as General Lee. However, standing in line, waiting to buy a hot dog for his wife, he was just Al Stone, which I thought was pretty cool.
I told him that I had been seated in the gallery of the West Virginia House of Delegates chamber on Feb. 22, 2007, when he addressed the joint session of the state House and Senate. I told him that I was impressed by the way the legislators, who had been talking and carrying on through most of the session, became silent and respectful when he came up to the speaker of house's podium. The hush was something special for me to experience and I told Mr. Stone as much. He humbly accepted the compliment, and returned his eyes on the window where he would place his order.
There was a brief time from when he placed his order and when other customers placed moved forward as he waited for his food to be prepared. I said that, while I studied American Civil War history as a young person, I hadn't done that much lately, with the exception of researching the life and times of Jedediah Hotchkiss, because he was the guy most responsible for structuring the Flat Top or Pocahontas Coalfields, and I was a student of coalfield history.
Stone became excited with the mention of Hotchkiss' name. He said that he had a map that Hotchkiss prepared for the Shenandoah Valley Campaign, and it contained traditional topographical details as well as information about each family who lived along the way. "You can imagine how many supplies an army of 40,000 men would consume along the way, and details like that were of utmost importance to a leader moving an army through a rural area," he said.
I absorbed that information, and quickly responded that it had been an unexpected privilege for me to deliver the Ehiphany message at St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Bluefield, Va., on Jan. 5, 2009, and said I spoke from the same pulpit that Lee used as a lay reader at (then) Grace Episcopal Church in Lexington, Va., after the war. As he absorbed that, I urged him to visit the church, and said that Father Russell Hatfield — a direct descendent of Valentine Hatfield — Devil Anse Hatfield's oldest brother.
Stone replied that Devil Anse had been a scout in Lee's personal retinue and at the end of the war, he had given the Hatfield clan leader a big, white horse named Ajax that Lee had named, no doubt, with obvious reference to the great warrior of Greek Mythology fame who battled Hector in the Trojan War in the days before Achilles.
I appreciate the work of presenters like Mr. Stone and Mr. and Mrs. Mansfield. Their thorough research of historical figures can bring new light to anyone anxious to fully understand the past.

How to Strengthen Your Retirement End Game
These strategies will help prevent you from outliving your retirement savings.
We spend much of our career saving and investing for retirement. And the challenges don't end on the day we retire. We must then manage our nest eggs to make sure our retirement savings lasts for the rest of our lives. Here are some ways to improve your retirement end game.
Plan how you will draw down your savings. Develop a plan to draw down your retirement savings at an annual rate, such as 4 percent of the initial balance each year, with adjustments for inflation. "You can withdraw between 4 and 6 percent of your portfolio each year and still protect the principal," says Stephen Overstreet, a certified financial planner in Winter Springs, Fla. The Congressional Research Service estimates that a 4 percent annual withdrawal rate for an investment portfolio with 35 percent in U.S. stocks and 65 percent in corporate bonds would be 89 percent likely to last 35 years or more. You can further prevent yourself from outliving you savings by withdrawing less in years when your investments perform poorly. "When there is a recession, clients should start spending less," says Overstreet.
[See 10 Essential Sources of Retirement Income.]
Retain an emergency fund. Keep an emergency fund of immediately available cash so that an unexpected expense doesn't disrupt your retirement draw down strategy. "You always need to have an emergency fund in another account that is not part of the investment portfolio, but in a bank or mutual fund," says Overstreet. "If you are heavily dependent on a portfolio, you're going to need two or three years worth of income sitting in some very safe place."
Minimize taxes. If the bulk of your retirement savings is in tax deferred retirement accounts including 401(k)s and IRAs, your timing of withdrawals could impact how much you pay in taxes. "If you take too much in one year your tax bracket could go up because you have a big chuck of money boosting your income," says Overstreet. "I believe in trying to stretch things out so you don't have too much income in any one particular year." Withdrawals from traditional retirement accounts generally become required after age 70½. Those who fail to withdraw the correct amount must pay a 50 percent tax penalty on the amount that should have been withdrawn.
Maximize Social Security. The monthly payment you are eligible for from the Social Security Administration increases for each month you delay claiming between ages 62 and 70. "If you retire later you will have more money coming in from Social Security," says Gerald Cannizzaro, a certified financial planner for Retirement Planning Services in Oakton, Va. "If you don't take your Social Security at 62, you make about 8 percent more per year for every year you don't take it." There is no additional benefit for delaying claiming beyond age 70.
[See 8 New Retirement Rules.]
Pay off your mortgage. You will be able to get by on a much smaller income in retirement if you can eliminate your mortgage. "When you retire and have no mortgage to pay it greatly improves your retirement income," says Cannizzaro. Consider a mortgage payment of $2,000 per month. "Without that payment going out that's $24,000 a year less you need to spend," says Cannizzaro.
Sign up for Medicare on time. You can sign up for Medicare beginning three months before the month you turn 65. Sign up right away to avoid a premium hike for late starters. If you don't sign up for Medicare Part B during the seven-month window around your 65th birthday, your premiums may increase by 10 percent for each 12-month period that you delay enrollment. Those who are still working and covered by a group health plan at work must sign up within eight months of leaving the insurance plan to avoid the premium increase.
Minimize fees. Pay attention to the costs and fees you are paying to invest and take steps to minimize them whenever possible. "It's very common for retail investors who are managing their own money to have multiple layers of underlying expenses that they don't even know about," says Bryan Hancock, a certified financial planner for Timberchase Financial in Birmingham, Ala. "The average expense ratio is about 1.5 percent, but there are very low-cost options that can do the same thing for a tenth of that cost, such as low-cost ETFs." Hancock recommends shopping around for expense ratios of less than 1 percent on your investments.

Small number of members!! haha thanks you guys for joining so I didn't look like a complete git.
If you guys have any friends/know of super duper Sherlock/Harry fans please don't be afraid to invite them over!! The more the merrier!
HP Sherlock crossover Year 2.10Throughout the next few weeks, many students walked into class exhibiting the same behaviour as the Ravenclaws had in Potions. They seemed completely unaware of their surroundings.HP Sherlock crossover Year 2.10 by Rowlingson39
'Someone has to be doing this to them,' Sherlock said one day.
'But why?' John looked at him. 'They're just disoriented.'
'Maybe that's only the first symptom.' Sherlock looked thoughtful. Then he turned to John. 'Good luck with try-outs tonight.'
'Thanks,' John said nervously. He knew his aim was good, and his hits were really strong (thankfully, he'd managed to avoid knocking Sherlock out again) but he still was afraid he wouldn't make the team.
'You'll do fine,' Sherlock said. 'Really, you're a great flyer.' He sighed. 'I'll probably spend the time finding last year's Quidditch cup.'
Sherlock turned around looking to see Peter Murray.
'What is it? Something wrong?' He could tell from the boy's face that something had happened.

John had been later to breakfast than Sherlock, who wasn't eating again. He'd stayed out too late flying the night before.
'What did you do?' John asked. This was one of those few times that John was reminded that despite his marks, Sherlock was not always the model student.
'Got caught wandering out late,' Sherlock sighed. 'The Gryffindor team's locker room was vandalised. Obviously Slytherins, but Rybek wanted me to look into it.'
'And you couldn't do that during the day?' John asked.
'No. I was in the library most of yesterday. Besides, Rybek only came after dinner, and I wanted to get it done quickly.' He sat back and looked at John. 'It was a few fifth years who did the locker room. Used a burning spell that the Slytherin fifth years learned two days ago. There's two fifth years on the Slytherin team. Most likely it was them.' He shrugged. 'So, how's Quidditch training go

I began my professional career as a biological anthropologist studying primate behavior and comparative ecology. This path allowed me to live and work in some of the most biodiverse and threatened regions in the world, and fostered a profound and personal interest to become involved in applied research initiatives that contribute to sustainable management and environmental policy in a meaningful way. The transition to working on climate change impacts to biodiversity in the Chicago Wilderness region was a natural progression that grew from my graduate work on human-wildlife interactions. A main goal of my current work is to help build and renew positive relationships between people and the environment as sustainable partnerships that communities are empowered to create and continue.

My research focuses on examining climate change impacts to biodiversity in the Chicago Wilderness region. The application of this work includes 1) developing adaptation strategies for natural communities through collaborations with scientists, natural resource managers, and community leaders, 2) creating effective methods of communicating climate science to diverse audiences and 3) promoting the role that natural habitats play in responding to climate change. My background of research, teaching, and training in the fields of anthropology, ecology and evolution, and climate science enables me to take an interdisciplinary approach to the study of climate change impacts to both natural and human communities, as well as communicate this information across a broad range of audiences.

NORMAN — Cleveland County leads the state in at least one health ranking.
A new study by the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute lists our county as the state's top for health factors such as access to health care and No. 2 in health outcomes such as mortality, physical health and birth weight. Only Kingfisher County outranks us in the second category
States that showed some improvement in national rankings this year include New Jersey, which jumped nine slots upward; Maryland, which improved by five slots; and Alabama, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Rhode Island, all of which improved by three slots, according to the United Health Foundation's "2012 America's Health Ranking."
Nationally, the five least healthy states are South Carolina, ranked 46, West Virginia, 47, Arkansas, 48, and Mississippi and Louisiana, tied at 49.
The rate of poverty is often an indicator of a county's overall health. Some elected officials think it has something to do with eating better, too. Diet is important, but shedding a sedentary lifestyle helps as much or more.
Communities benefit with easy access to smoke-free parks, walking and cycling trails, public pools, golf courses and tennis courts.
Access to programs that target smoking cessation and combat obesity are also important. Cleveland County has its own coalition to address such issues. An annual breakfast spotlights the year's achievements.

Bachelor of Integrative Studies
What is the BIS Degree?
The Bachelor of Integrative Studies Degree (BIS) is a College of Arts and Sciences non-major degree that provides maximum freedom for the student who wishes to take a multidisciplinary, individualized approach to the design of an educational program while maintaining a focus on career and professional goals.
The BIS is an individualized program in which the student is personally responsible for the research and design of his or her own degree program.
The BIS consists of two concentrations:
- Integrative Studies-General
- Integrative Studies-Three Minors
Choose 3 departments, 1 must be in A&S
Students choose a minimum of three academic departments, one of which must be housed in the College of Arts and Sciences, to select courses and develop a rationale for the way in which these courses are supportive of their career goals.
Program Restrictions and Requirements
Admission & Evaluation
Contact BIS
Is BIS Right For You?
Although the BIS Program is individualized and allows creativity in course selection, this degree may not be the right choice for everyone. The BIS degree should NOT be an option for a student who is undecided about future outcomes after graduation. The BIS program requires student responsibility for research into coursework and studies appropriate to career goals. Ultimately, the student, not the advisor, is the designer of this degree. A specific rationale for the degree design is required—one that describes the focus of your degree and justifies the coursework selected. It is NOT to be a "mish-mash" of coursework without purpose or plan. Research and consultation with faculty advisors, community leaders, career services offices, employers in the field of choice, and graduate school advisors are important resources to apprise you of necessary course, experiential, and licensure requirements for entry into the job market, selecting an educational objective, or choosing the general career direction you wish to pursue.
Regional Campus students especially should view their campus schedule of classes and course catalogs to determine availability of upper division courses. If your campus does not offer extensive upper division course choices, consider options of KSU web-based coursework or traveling to other regional campuses or to the Kent Campus.
As one can see, a BIS program plan cannot be developed effectively without considerable preparation, self-direction, and assistance from experts in your field of choice. Please consider all aspects of your academic and career choices when considering the BIS degree.

BOISE -- Three Idaho women have died from flu-related causes, according to public health officials.
Two of the deaths were in southwest Idaho and the other is from southeast Idaho. All three of the women were over 50 years old. These are the first flu-related deaths in Idaho in 2012.
"Our thoughts are with the families of the people who died from complications of the flu," said Dr. Kathryn Turner, PhD, Communicable Disease Prevention Bureau Chief at the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. "With the holiday season fast approaching, we strongly urge people to be vaccinated for flu so they and their loved ones remain healthy through the season."
This year's flu season has come on earlier than in previous years. Health officials says that makes it even more critical that people get vaccinated as soon as possible, especially those at high risk.
People at higher risk include infants, pregnant women, people with chronic health conditions like asthma, diabetes, or heart disease, and people 65 and older.
The flu vaccine protects against three different strains of the flu that have been going around. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone 6 months older and older be vaccinated unless they have a severe allergy to chicken eggs or have had a severe reaction to the flu vaccine in the past.
"This years' flu vaccine is a great match to the circulating strains," Turner said. "However, it takes about two weeks before peak antibody levels are reached and the vaccine's protection is maximized. Unfortunately, only about a third of adults and 40 percent of children have received the flu vaccine so far this season. We'd really like to see an increase in vaccinations so people have a better chance at staying healthy."
Most people who get the flu recover after a few days, but it is possible to develop serious complications and die from the virus.
Here are some tips to help prevent getting or spreading the flu:
• Cover mouths and noses with a tissue when coughing or sneezing to prevent infecting other people.
• Avoid people who appear sick.
• Stay home from work when sick,
• Wash hands frequently, especially after being out in the public. Avoid touching their eyes, noses and mouths until they have washed their hands.
• Get plenty of rest, drink plenty of liquids, eat nutritious foods and take part in physical activity to stay healthy.

Students will see themselves making progress and reaching set goals! This encourages them to continue on their musical journey - becoming the very best they can be! We will also learn fun popular songs and look for opportunities to sing them. We will also learn many styles of pop singing as well -- from pop to rock to R&B to country & more! From beginners and just-for-fun singers to singer/songwriters to pros, each student will be able to learn the skills they need to sing from their heart and find their own true voice.

Voice lessons build confidence and enthusiasm, and help prepare children for performing in front of others. Singing at a young age develops vocal abilities, but more importantly develops a child's aural abilities (recognizing melodies, harmonies, etc.) as well as the ability to focus, take direction and be creative.
Performing / Recording / Vocal Health
Recording. performing and touring presents unique challenges to singers. By concentrating on breathing, vocal production and tension reduction, warm-up exercises, and range building exercises, these lessons help increase stamina, build vocal tone, and reduce the effects of vocal fatigue for those who sing long hours at a time.
Church / Worship Leading
Singing on praise/worship teams is an art form all of it's own. Lessons centered around this kind of singing focus on the areas of blending, tone, hearing harmonies, and keeping your part in a group. For the soloist / worship leader, lessons help in the areas of projection, tone, range, runs, and breathing.

Every since I was a little girl, I have been devoted to the arts. When I began college, I knew that music was my path.

I have played leading roles in several operas and musicals in Southern California, including Gianni Schicchi, Die Fledermaus, La Boheme (DTL nominee), The Impresario, The Grand Duke, Patience (DTL award), Cosi fan tutte, Little Women the Musical, Seussical the Musical, and many more. I have also appeared in several concerts, opera scenes, competitions (winning music scholarships and theater awards), and worked as a singer at churches, restaurants, and in pop bands. I continue to perform and study music because performing is a part of who I am and I could never live without it.
With this experience under my belt, I feel a desire to pass on my knowledge to students. I carry a strong passion to help people develop their abilities and make them their own. I truly believe that if someone wants something out of life then they WILL achieve it with dedication, perseverance, confidence, and by having FUN doing it!

Within 3 months most students are performing simple songs successfully and within 6 months they have begun to master the more difficult 2nd and 3rd level. I believe in creating opportunities for the student to play in public and successfully perform by playing in small groups and bands. My acting students are taught through monologues and basic acting dynamics along with rehearsing through audition challenges and opportunities in the community.

Although I have years of experience doing many jobs in entertainment, Vocal coaching is my main focus.
Do you have trouble with pitch? Do you get stage fright? Do you swallow your sound? These are all symptoms of a lack of confidence. I can help you get the confidence you need whether you are auditioning for a major production or just want to sing your favorite Karaoke songs better.
A little about me and my journey:
Jason T. started his illustrious performing career at the tender age of five in day camp volunteering to sing "The Happy Wanderer" a capella for Parent's Day.
Mounting productions in his garage as a child, he convinced his friends to be in the show with only his father as a reluctant audience member who was toiling away at his work bench. Combine these garage productions with performances on the back patio and it was clear Jason always loved to put on a show.
In the sixth grade, he performed "The Impossible Dream" from "Man of La Mancha" with his red cape pinned to his shirt and wielding his mighty sword assembled from a yard stick and tin foil. At this point, his career in entertainment was firmly embedded in his heart and soul.
Double majoring in Vocal Performance and Education in college, Jason honed his craft performing in operas and jazz vocal groups all the while learning the business side of entertainment.
Joining the Six Flags Show Productions team, Jason performed in several seasons and then was hired as Musical Director for several more seasons at the park in Houston.
Jason created and was vocal arranger for a singing quartet, Entourage, which performed in many venues in the Houston area.
He was invited to join the Glen Hunsucker Performance Team and worked as a vocalist and dancer backing up the most popular singer from India, Asha Bosley. The show traveled all over the U.S. and Canada for over three months. It was a grueling schedule moving city to city every day, but the knowledge he gained about production logistics was invaluable.
Taking an opportunity to move to Los Angeles from Houston, he was hired as an Assistant Talent Manager at Universal Studios Hollywood. He quickly moved up the ranks and was promoted to Senior Talent Manager/Vocal Supervisor as part of the team who auditioned, rehearsed and supervised the live shows in the park as well as back-lot productions. This was valuable experience as every possible challenge presented itself during his tenure with the company. Dealing with unions, yearly budgets, creating new shows and characters were just a few of his responsibilities.
Jason was the first Talent Manager to be asked by the President of Universal Studios Hollywood to re-write, stage and re-open a show, "The Blues Brothers" in the park. The show runs daily in both the California and Florida locations.
After leaving his post as Talent Manager, Jason was fortunate enough to join the team at Bob/Gail Entertainment and performed with them singing, dancing and doing character work in productions all over the world. The group even performed alongside Michael Jackson and Billy Joel for the Sultan of Brunei's 50th birthday party in Brunei.
Working with the Executive Producer of Entertainment Plus+ Productions, Jason was the lead vocalist and a dancer performing in and helping produce many industrial shows and events in California along with several of Steve Winn's companies in Las Vegas.
Paramount Studios came knocking on Jason's door to use one of his other skills to do hair and make-up for a kid's movie. He was responsible for turning one of the actors into a wizard with hair and make-up for the dining hall scenes in this movie. Little did he know what this "kids"movie would turn into for the studio and J. K. Rowlings, the "Harry Potter" phenomenon. Working on different aspects of entertainment helps to round out Jason's entertainment knowledge.
He worked on several other independent films and TV shows including "Sinatra, the Mini-series" starring Olympia Dukakis, among others as a member of the production team and also a Night Club Patron and Dancer in the series.
Jason created and produced many production numbers at the Queen Mary Show Lounge in Los Angeles. Building costumes, props and wigs along with re-designing and building the new stage confirmed his love for this genre of entertainment.
While living in Texas, he was a Producer and Judge for the Texas Star Talent Competition.
Since re-locating back to Los Angeles, Jason has produced several shows and events including Brazilian Summer Beauty and Jeff's Variety Comedy Show.
*** Lesson Details ***
The best way to achieve successful progression in the learning process is to have the best relationship between teacher and student.
I commit to focusing all my energy and attention to each student and ask for the student to make the same commitment to doing their best in the lessons and practicing at home. I also promise that we will have fun in the process.
I start out with a consultation to discover what each student's goals are in the entertainment field or just on the Karaoke stage. From there, I explain how I will build a foundation of correct technique for singing and speaking which will successfully translate to any genre of performance.
Whether the student wants to sing R&B, Jazz, Pop, Country, Opera or anything in-between, these skills will allow the best outcome for a long and successful career in entertainment.
I tailor each student's lesson to their individual needs with patience, support and enthusiasm.
After one to two months, the student will start to feel more confident and comfortable with correct techniques in singing and speaking and be ready to shine on stage. Of coarse, the progress continues with each month learning more tricks of the trade to call upon when needed.
*** Specialties ***
I can teach all levels and genres of voice except advanced opera. I can teach beginner piano lessons.
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

---- — CHEERS to the multitude of restaurant employees in our region who are gracious and accommodating to senior citizens and people with disabilities, making them feel at home when they go out to eat. We know, we know — it's their jobs. But some treat older and physically impaired diners like their mothers and fathers, brother and sisters. Some don't. The difference is immediately felt by the customers. The very good workers hold doors, wear a broad smile and exhibit patience, and gladly. People with decreased mobility already feel like somewhat of an imposition to others, so when complete strangers at a restaurant show they're delighted to help them in any way possible, it's more than a routine comfort. It's greatly appreciated. As Baby Boomers advance in age, more and more of the population will fall into the categories of "senior citizen" and "people with disabilities." The wise business owners in the hospitality industry are already instructing staff on how to keep these customers happy.
JEERS to bingo operators in our area who allow smoking. You might wonder how this is even possible, what with New York state outlawing smoking in public places. But the state allows special permits if the restrictions would cause "undue financial hardship" and for a few other factors. State law requires that operators with exemptions "minimize the adverse effects of the waiver upon persons subject to an involuntary exposure to second-hand smoke." Maybe local bingo operators think their patrons wouldn't show up if they couldn't smoke. But people have gotten used to not smoking at many other public events and could do so at bingo as well. Judging from the complaints submitted to Speakout, many people who attend bingo think the smoking sections are not working. Allowing patrons to light up, even in separated areas, is an affront to non-smokers and a poor example for charitable organizations to set for young people in the community.
JEERS to people who block traffic so they can run into stores and offices instead of finding a parking spot. We saw a perfect example Friday afternoon right near the Press-Republican office in Plattsburgh. A man stopped his car in the northbound lane of Miller Street, in front of the Municipal Lighting Department office, ignoring the cars behind him waiting to continue down the street. He parked in the driving lane, with the car running, while his passenger went in to conduct business. There is plenty of parking available nearby, so it was not necessary to block traffic just to save a few steps. And MLD has a drive-through payment window and a drop box that would have taken him off Miller Street, had he used it. Instead, he sat there while numerous cars passed in the southbound lane, holding up the people behind him. Now that takes gall.

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Jeanette Winterson's novels have established her as a major figure in world literature. She has written some of the most admired books of the past few decades, including her internationally bestselling first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, the story of a young girl adopted by Pentecostal parents that is now often required reading in contemporary fiction.
Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? is a memoir about a life's work to find happiness. It's a book full of stories: about a girl locked out of her home, sitting on the doorstep all night; about a religious zealot disguised as a mother who has two sets of false teeth and a revolver in the dresser, waiting for Armageddon; about growing up in an north England industrial town now changed beyond recognition; about the Universe as Cosmic Dustbin.
It is the story of how a painful past that Jeanette thought she'd written over and repainted rose to haunt her, sending her on a journey into madness and out again, in search of her biological mother.
Witty, acute, fierce, and celebratory, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? is a tough-minded search for belonging, for love, identity, home, and a mother.
The Wrong Crib
When my mother was angry with me, which was often, she said, 'The Devil led us to the wrong crib'.
The image of Satan taking time off from the Cold War and McCarthyism to visit Manchester in 1960 - purpose of visit: to deceive Mrs Winterson - has a flamboyant theatricality to it. She was a flamboyant depressive; a woman who kept a revolver in the duster drawer, and the bullets in a tin of Pledge. A woman who stayed up all night baking cakes to avoid sleeping in the same bed as my father. A woman with a prolapse, a thyroid condition, an enlarged heart, an ulcerated leg that never healed, and two sets of false teeth - matt for everyday, and a pearlised set for 'best'.
I do not know why she didn't/couldn't have children. I know that she adopted me because she wanted a friend (she had none), and because I was like a flare sent out into the world - a way of saying that she was here - a kind of X Marks the Spot.
She ...
The essence of Winterson's own tenuous life-story is mimicked in the structure of her memoir, a jumble of hazy pieces coalescing into a mind, a self. What felt unformed and gangly in the first half becomes svelt and athletic; what was meandering becomes as sure and steady as a freight train.... Winterson offers a reader much more than the satisfaction of voyeuristic curiosity that marks so many train-wreck memoirs; this is a memoir about how we deal with our lot in life. Not how we can endure it, but how we might meet it, how we begin a dialogue with it, how we become who we are when we are done being our past.
(Reviewed by Lucia Silva).
Full Review (1178 words).
In a passage on suicide, Winterson remarks that "when natural gas was introduced in the 1960's, the British suicide rate fell by one-third." I thought that perhaps she was using some creative math for dramatic effect, but a little research revealed that she wasn't exaggerating at all. Here's a summary of the way things were in Great Britain before the introduction of natural gas, from the New York Times:
For generations, the people of Britain heated their homes and fueled their stoves with coal gas. While plentiful and cheap, coal-derived gas could also be deadly; in its unburned form, it released very high levels of carbon monoxide, and an open valve or a leak in a closed space could induce asphyxiation in a matter of minutes. This ...
If you liked Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?, try these:
Taking the reader through an extraordinary world where the very nature of reality is different, this personal narrative tells the story of one woman's terrifying battle to understand her own mind.
Blood, Bones & Butter is an unflinching and lyrical work. Gabrielle Hamilton's story is told with uncommon honesty, grit, humor, and passion. By turns epic and intimate, it marks the debut of a tremendous literary talent.

CLAYTON — They didn't draw it up in the dirt, they just came up with it on the fly.
Fittingly, it was a fly pattern up the right sideline that gave Garner a 35-28 victory over Clayton on Friday night as senior quarterback Brighton Hudson dropped a perfectly timed ball right into the hands of standout junior Nyheim Hines with 30.3 seconds to play for the game-winning 32-yard touchdown pass.
"It wasn't even a play," Hines said. "But the time out gave us the time to come up with that. All I had to do was get by my man to the inside and Brighton did the rest. It was a perfect ball."
Hines' fifth touchdown of the night was the fourth straight time Garner had responded to a Clayton score. The Trojans led 7-0, 14-7, 21-14 and 28-21 only to see Clayton pull even each after each Garner touchdown.
"That's what you expect Garner and Clayton games to be," Garner coach Thurman Leach said. "The kids on both sides laid it all on the line."
Garner (6-2 overall, 2-1 Greater Neuse River 4A) went up 28-21 with 6:27 to play on a 15-yard touchdown run by Hines. Clayton (5-3, 1-2) answered on its next drive with Eric Hoy coming back for a slightly underthrown ball on for a 25-yard touchdown connection with 3:12 to play and a 28-all tie.
But the Trojans converted a pair of third-and-shorts on the game-winning drive before the Hudson-to-Hines connection for the win.
Hines totaled 449 all-purpose yards on the night. He ran for 207 yards on 31 carries, caught five balls for 89 yards, threw a 45-yards pass and had 108 kick return yards, including a 98-yard kick off return for a touchdown to open the second half.
The 5-foot-8, 182-pound junior scored on runs of 18, 22 and 15 yards as well.
He also batted down Clayton's last-ditch Hail Mary pass on the final play of the game, wrapping up a near ideal 40-second defense finish for Garner that saw the Trojans' Kevan Coppage and Aaron Smith register key quarterback hurries that erased Clayton's last hope to forge another tie.
Sam May, Jace Brown and Rodney Rowe all ran for Clayton touchdowns. Hoy has 112 yards rushing on 10 carries and 76 yards receiving.
"If I can get these guys to stay at that level they just played at, we'll be in great shape," Clayton coach Randy Pinkowski said. "We have the potential to be giant slayers. … I've never been more proud of a team than I am tonight."

Road improvement project begins at Richmond National Battlefield Park
Improvements to more than eight miles of roads and parking areas throughout the Richmond National Battlefield Park's battlefield units are beginning this week. The $2.2 million project will involve repaving and upgrading roadways that serve around 200,000 visitors to the park per year, as well as residential areas in Henrico and Hanover counties. A Richmond area contractor, Lane Construction, is slated to do the work, which will support more than 50 jobs in the region.
"Some of these roads were in extremely bad condition," said park superintendent David Ruth. "So the park is glad to begin work on this project, which we know will benefit our community and local residents, as well as the visitors who come every day to experience the battlefields."
Work will begin in the Fort Harrison area of southeastern Henrico County along Hoke-Brady and Battlefield Park roads. In most cases, road closures will not be required, although traffic may be narrowed to one lane as work proceeds in some areas. However, beginning on October 31, a short segment of Battlefield Park Road will need to be closed for several weeks for both reconstruction and repaving. Detour signs will be posted.
Other park areas to see road and parking improvements include the Cold Harbor tour road and the Gaines' Mill and Beaver Dam Creek units in Hanover County, the Malvern Hill unit in Henrico, and the Parkers Battery unit in Chesterfield. Updates about park areas impacted by the improvement work will be posted on the park's website: http://www.nps.gov/rich

The new Pace bus service for Arlington Heights began this week.
If you're in need of a ride, the new service is a crossover between dial-a-ride service and a fixed bus route, a press release from Pace states.
There are special pick-up and drop-off spots within the community. You can choose to go to and front certain locations bordered by Euclid Avenue on the north, Arlington Heights Road on the east, Route 53 on the west, and I-90/ Golf Road on the south.
The cost to a spot within these locations is $1.75. Anyone can use the service.
"Pace has been operating Call-n-Ride routes for roughly four years, and they've been a welcome addition to our service area," stated Pace Chairman of the Board Richard Kwasneski in a press release. "Call-n-Rides allow us to cost-effectively meet demands for transit that would be difficult to serve with a regular fixed bus route, and riders appreciate the flexibility of being able to schedule a trip when they need to travel."
To request a ride, passengers should call (224) 803-9277 a minimum of one hour before they need to travel. The bus is available Monday-Friday between 6:10am and 6:30pm. Once per hour, the vehicle makes a timed connection at the Arlington Heights Metra Station to board and alight customers. Passengers should board the bus at the shelter on East Payton Run located southeast of the Metra station, a press release from Pace states.
Points of interest within the Arlington Heights Rolling Meadows Call-n-Ride service area include Northwest Community Hospital, Cook County Courthouse, downtown Arlington Heights and several area shopping centers. In addition to transit connections to Metra, the Call-n-Ride connects with three Pace bus routes, with connections to Woodfield Shopping Center, the Rosemont CTA Blue Line Station, Oakton Community College, Golf Mill Shopping Center, downtown Des Plaines and downtown Evanston.
