City receives federal grant funding for drug court
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Municipal Drug Court has received a $191,237 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance, which will provide funding for a full-time drug court coordinator and drug court case manager. The positions will help offer more intensive and comprehensive case management for drug court participants.
The grant is in addition to a recent $124,000 one-year award from the Health Care Foundation of Kansas City, which provided funding for a case manager and allowed the drug court to contract with Legal Aid of Western Missouri for legal assistance for participants seeking Medicaid and Social Security/Disability benefits.
"These grants are important confirmations by the Department of Justice and the Health Care Foundation that our drug court is making a difference in the lives of the long-term addict in Kansas City," Drug Court Judge Joseph Locascio said. "With these awards, we are happy to be able to expand services by doubling the supervision period to on year and assist with housing during recovery."
The Municipal Drug Court focuses on substance abusers with a chronic and debilitating addiction who usually enter treatment homeless and unemployed. The Department of Justice award allows the drug court to increase supervision time from six months to one year, conduct random drug testing in court, pay for bus passes to help participants get to treatment and to court and assist the homeless participants in obtaining transitional living on a short-term basis until they can obtain employment to pay for housing. In addition, the grant will pay for continuing education for the drug court staff and support Resource Development Institute to conduct an independent evaluation of this project.
For more information, contact Tracie McClendon-Cole, justice program coordinator, at (816) 513-7902.

With about 90 percent of Maine covered by forests, it is no surprise that the citizens of Maine want to know that the people who own and work in the Maine woods are managing them with an eye toward keeping them productive for the present and sustained for future generations.
That's where the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) comes in. SFI is a program designed to ensure that forests in Maine and across the country are managed sustainably. The Program fosters continuous improvement in forest management by requiring forest professionals – including landowners, loggers, and mill owners – to commit to ongoing research, continuing professional education, and consistent communication with the general public concerning developments within the SFI Program.

The Sustainable Forestry Initiative Program was a response to the public's obvious concern about the long-term sustainability of the country's forest resources.
In practice, the SFI program involves the development and implementation of forest management standards that, in addition to requiring sustainable levels of forest harvesting, are dedicated to, among other things:
- the protection of water quality
- the management of wildlife habitat
- the protection of rare plants
- the conservation of biodiversity
- the application of science-based forestry and
- the protection of soil productivity
In broader terms, the five underlying principles of SFI are to:
- Meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations.
- Promote environmentally and economically responsible practices.
- Improve forest health and productivity.
- Manage our forests to protect their special qualities.
- Continuously improve forest management and measure progress.
SFI Inc. is an independent, nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that is solely responsible for maintaining, overseeing and improving the internationally recognized Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) program. Across the United States and Canada, 240 million acres /nearly 100 million hectares are certified to the SFI forest management standard. In addition, the SFI program's unique fiber sourcing requirements promote responsible forest management on all suppliers' lands. SFI chain of custody (COC) certification tracks the percentage of fiber from certified forests, certified sourcing and post-consumer recycled content. SFI on product labels identify both certified sourcing and COC claims to help consumers make responsible purchasing decisions. SFI Inc. is governed by a three chamber board of directors representing environmental, social and economic sectors equally.

The DVC person behind the Golf Tournament
Well folks, I apologize for sending an incomplete thank you list concerning the DVC Foundation Golf Tournament. Pauline Slagis whose name was inadvertently left off the list of staff was actually the person behind the throne, or perhaps I should say behind the golf tee. Pauline worked/coordinated the golf tournament for the 12 years of its existence. We owe many thanks to Pauline for the systems she set in place, her energy, and persistence is keeping things going over those 12 years.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
— An ugly incident occurred in the Record-Eagle's lobby last week, an intimidation effort carried out against one of the newspaper's writers by a Leelanau County commissioner's husband. The incident included a borderline assault and a not-so-subtle threat of violence.
That hostile behavior mirrors what we're increasingly seeing in regional local government, a mindset fueled by tough talk, chain e-mails, hate blogs and other media, and an unquestioning embrace of bizarre conspiracy theories.
Sometimes local public officials are targeted; they find themselves confronted by citizens quick to embrace mob mentality and very willing to unleash their venom on government officials.
An example occurred last month in Benzie County, when commissioners barely dodged tar-and-feather treatment after adopting an ordinance to rid the county of blighted buildings and disintegrating properties. An angry meeting crowd accused a Benzie official of being a communist, surely a shock to commissioners, most of whom consider themselves conservative Republicans.
Benzie leaders backtracked when confronted by the froth, and agreed to gut the blight ordinance. What a victory for the "little guys." What's next, welcoming signs on U.S. 31 at the county's north and south borders that read "Benzie County: Don't tread on our blight"?
In Leelanau County, the conspiracy crowd propelled some of their ilk to elected office. But attaining public office means there's a risk someone might pay attention to their representatives' words and actions. No longer can they be sure their coffee shop cronies are the only ones exposed to various railings about presidential birthplaces or threats from United Nations helicopters.
The incident at the Record-Eagle's office came after a story about the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners' recent moves to reject a $16,500 payment to the Traverse Bay Economic Development Corp. and dismantle the county's Economic Development Board.
The local EDC largely is comprised of moderate and conservative Republicans, but Leelanau County leaders apparently smelled a rat. Their "a-ha" moment —at least in some commissioners' minds — came when they came across language in the proposed EDC partnership that urged the county to be, in part, a "national leader in smart, sustainable economic development;" to explore job growth in "clean applied technologies;" and find "compatibility between existing economic development drivers such as tourism and other employment sectors."
There's nothing wrong with an elected body reviewing and rejecting such proposals, if they believe they won't benefit the community. That's what representative government is all about. But some Leelanau commissioners, including Karen Zemaitis, decided to share their curious theories about the EDC's motives, and at the same time shed light on themselves:
"The things that they have produced in their strategic plan, they are for many of the things in Agenda 21 - the same language," Zemaitis told a Record-Eagle writer. "It is something I do not want in my area. They want to have people live in cities only, which would eliminate living in our county because we don't have any cities here. They want us to use public transportation only, which again is unworkable in our community."
Ah, Agenda 21. That's the non-binding United Nations better-world philosophy that's become the boogeyman darling for all those self-disenfranchised conspiracy advocates who claim to see a socialist behind every tree. And it's nonsense, but anti-Agenda 21 adherents, rallied by cable television extremists, need something to reinforce their victimhood and legitimize their increasingly anti-social behavior.
Somehow we doubt local EDC members secretly bow to Mao, Lenin and U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
But it seems Zemaitis' husband didn't care to see his wife's meanderings in print, and he came to the newspaper unannounced to take out his rage on a writer. A bit of threatening behavior and unwanted physicality later, he was told to leave the building or face arrest.
This seems to be a common tact among the anti-government types. First Amendment rights apparently aren't adequate for them to express their anger, so they resort to threats and implied violence, if not outright assault.
Be sure of this: The Record-Eagle won't back down when confronted by this loud, angry minority. And we urge the community at large, the vast majority of whom are good, sensible people, to stand their ground, as well.

How and where and when did the Forgotten Realms start? What's at the heart of Ed Greenwood's creation, and how does the Grand Master of the Realms use his own world when he runs D&D adventures for the players in his campaign? "Forging the Forgotten Realms" is a weekly feature wherein Ed answers all those questions and more.
n all the Realms campaign sessions and almost all the one-shot convention adventures I've run, I throw a lot of information at the players. It's actually done as almost everything else is, the usual "ham-actor DM gabbing across the table," of course, but it's intended to simulate lore, gossip, rumor, and hard knowledge that the player characters pick up as the days of their lives unfold. The sort of stuff that can point to future adventures, make the setting seem very real, and provide players with crucial facts they can use to turn a tough fight into a great victory, or even outswindle a swindler.
If such information isn't provided constantly, its delivery can become a roleplaying tipoff that even the most inattentive player can't miss. It's a clue when the DM suddenly stops hurling orc hordes and evil cultists at the PCs and instead has them overhear a whispered conversation between furtive characters who conveniently drop a cryptic written note in their wake when they depart.
Such necessary dispensations of information and plot-starters don't have to be so obvious. Every traveling minstrel, peddler, and caravan brings news (and false rumors and overblown gossip) to town, its purveyors often trading their words for a drink or a meal at a wayside inn. Broadsheets (newspapers) exist in most of the larger cities in the Realms, and are sold by caravan merchants to innkeepers, sages, and just plain folks with coin enough, all along the routes those caravans take. (There are market stalls that sell both old and new newspapers in the Realms, all of them full of obituaries, tales of the "Jarrok saw a strange monster in the river last night" sort, and accounts like "Thorn the Miller has vanished, no one knows where, with all the coin his mill took in this last tenday.")
If this sort of news becomes a constant in the lives of their characters, players begin to lose any feeling of "This is the DM's way of railroading us into the next preplanned adventure," and instead accept this flood of current events as part of the world, alive and bustling, unfolding around them.
And there is nothing more satisfying to a player—especially younger ones—than triumphantly remembering something that player's character overheard or read, and applying it at the right moment. It is a reward we all too rarely get in real life, and such a scene can "make" a session of roleplaying. ("Dad, wait a minute! There was something we heard back in Voonlar about a man named Jarth . . . I remember! Involved in kidnapping outside Mistledale but got away! Don't trust him!")
Most of the time, the news of the world will be low-key and not of immediate practical use, but its presence will add to the feel of realism—that sense that makes every achievement in a roleplaying campaign feel more significant to the players. For instance, if you hear scraps of information about, say, the Iron Throne (no, not the one kings sit upon in a certain television series; the Realms had a different sort of "Iron Throne" for a good twenty-five years before that one) for year after year of campaign play, you form an image of and an opinion about the Iron Throne, just as we do in real life about real-world organizations and places, that informs how you'll react when you do come into direct contact with it.
Of course, a DM can use rumor, gossip, and "hard" news (facts the PCs know to be real or that they see happen before their eyes, or glean or can verify from trusted, fairly neutral sources) to hint like crazy—and I always do just that. I tend to mitigate this very human tendency by sometimes using my hints to mislead, so when a particularly cynical player of mine rolls his eyes and murmurs, "It's drow again, is it?" I suppress a smile—because he has leaped to a metagaming conclusion that's wrong. Just because the villagers in Essembra think it's drow again, that doesn't mean it's so. It could really be Sembian brigands with crossbows again—or something far more dramatic. And when they capture one of those brigands and the grizzled man snarls, "No, no, I'm one o' those fearsome drow, see?" that, too, is a hint worth more than the moment of mirth it brings around the gaming table. (As Elminster has said more than once, "Count not thy unhatched chickens. Just eat the eggs as they come.")
All too many D&D games turn into what I call survivalist hikes, because they become primarily concerned with getting healing, and food, and a place to rest where the PCs can defend against monsters. Though this grassroots grittiness is reasonable, even necessary, during an extended dungeon crawl, it's not much relief from real-life bill paying and scrabbling for funds and being unable to find something specific in any of the stores. And I find that sort of thing more frustrating than fun; don't you?
When information—good information, the sort that can benefit someone "in the know"—becomes as valuable in a campaign as a healing potion or clean drinking water, and players get the chance to speculate and try to put clues together into knowing more than is publicly available, the campaign becomes much richer.
Years ago, players in a 13-episode mini-campaign I ran at a public library portrayed members of the Cormyrean-chartered adventuring band the Company of the Basilisk. The conditions of their charter required them to eliminate some brigands who were harassing trade through the Thunder Gap with, apparently, a pet basilisk that petrified anyone who stood up to them. (It turned out that the brigands were shapeshifters pretending to be a basilisk and other wild creatures, and using a flesh to stone—by touch—magic item, but that's another story.)
As play began, they were granted their charter in an office in the Royal Palace in Suzail. There they wandered where they weren't supposed to, and overheard many interesting things—one of which was a court clerk excitedly telling a fellow courtier that his kin, the Roysil family of Hilp, had just been hired to build coaches for the new Sembian-founded Ethark Trading Coster, which would be making fast runs between Suzail, Marsember, and the southern Sembian ports. The Roysils had won an order for sixteen coaches thanks to secret compartments they had perfected (originally for the Crown of Cormyr) built around coach axles, for carrying sensitive documents in hiding.
Three play sessions later, the PCs were in a tavern when an excited man burst in with the news that the first Ethark coach to leave Suzail had gone missing.
In the next play session, the PCs were delayed in crossing a bridge (along with all the other road traffic) as that missing wagon was hauled out of the river, its drowned drovers and waterlogged cargo still slumped aboard. Remembering what they had heard earlier, the PCs thought to examine the axles, and were able to tell the local Purple Dragon commander that the splintering to be seen there hadn't been caused by any crash into the river, but rather by someone breaking into the secret compartments to pilfer documents carried there.
Which in turn caused the commander to report as much to the duty War Wizard, who was both grateful and very suspicious of the PCs. Whereupon the Company of the Basilisk unwittingly acquired some shadows: a Highknight of Cormyr following them to see what they were up to; a spy from Redfaern Hall (the Sembian trading cabal, bitter rivals of the Etharks, who had stolen the coach and swiped the documents from it) following the Highknight to see what he learned; and a Harper tailing the other two shadows, to learn what skulduggery was afoot.
Which meant that when the PCs ran into real trouble and fled, the brigands they were fleeing from ran into a Highknight, then a well-armed private spy, and then an even better armed Harper in succession—and emerged more than a little battered.
Which meant the PCs got away, but ended up being very firmly interviewed by several War Wizards. During this questioning, the Company of the Basilisk learned quite a bit about smuggling, brigandry, and covert activities along the border between Cormyr and Sembia. This knowledge served them in good stead when they began regularly hearing news brought by the traders moving back and forth between the two countries, and started to plan their own foray against Redfaern Hall.
Which the Highknight and War Wizards knew all about, but did nothing to hamper. Instead, they gleefully reported back to Royal Magician Vangerdahast that they had managed to manipulate an adventuring band into doing some of their cross-border dirty work for them.
Now, knowing how such reports were checked against reports from local duty War Wizards, the Company of the Basilisk thief managed to briefly intercept and read one such report, learning not only how he and his fellow PCs had been used (information they resolved to use in future bargaining with the Crown of Cormyr), but lots of other news useful in planning slightly illicit adventures.
As one member of the Company put it: "Why blunder around the countryside looking for danger in hopes of finding a few coins, when you can know where the treasure is, and go right after it?"
Handy thing, the passing parade of news, if you can glean the truth behind the rumor, mistakes, and deliberate misinformation.
The Knights of Myth Drannor once spent months, beneath and around their daily adventuring, slowly investigating a Cormyrean noble who had gone bad and was working with smugglers out of Westgate and Sembia. The glee they exhibited when they finally uncovered proof of the lord's perfidy was profound, and worth any number of documents pilfered from around wagon axles.
In fact, whenever a character learns a saying, name, or pass phrase, and literally years later the player realizes during play that this is finally the moment it can be used, the delight can be palpable.
Picture the PCs dragged in chains before a court to answer for being "dirty, lawless adventurers," confronted and accused by a vizier they know to be a traitor to the realm. One character facing the triumphant vizier sees a distinctive magic item the vizier is holding—and recalls, from news he heard years earlier of that item in use, by the vizier when he was plotting treason, the words that will activate it and reveal the truth about the vizier to everyone.
I guarantee that as that player leans forward eagerly to tell everyone else at the gaming table what the character says, that they all will be grinning.
And I'll be grinning with them.

A Richmond man was pronounced dead early Monday morning after his car ran off the Eastern Bypass, but he did not die from injuries caused by the accident, the assistant Madison County coroner reported.
Garry Vickers, 52, probably died from a "cardiac event," Carlos Coyle said. The official cause of death was natural causes, he said.
Vickers ran off the road between the EMS building and Baptist Health shortly before midnight Sunday night. Although his vehicle came to a rest against a cable box, there was "not enough significant injury" from the accident to cause his death, Coyle said.
Coroner Jimmy Cornelison said Vickers had a history of cardiac health problems.
Area man dies in Rockcastle County accident
Carl Taylor, 38, of Brushy Fork Road, died Sunday afternoon after a single-vehicle accident in Rockcastle County.
Taylor was traveling alone on Flat Gap Road when his vehicle struck the side of an Interstate 75 underpass, Coyle said.
Taylor, who was not wearing a seat belt, was transported to St. Joseph Berea hospital where he was pronounced dead at 4:42 p.m. according to Coyle.
Taylor died from trauma to the head and chest, Coyle reported.
Taylor's mailing address listed Berea, but Coyle said the portion of Brushy Fork Road where he lived is in Garrard County.

Danbury residents who are excited about the construction of a bike trail through town will need to be patient, as it will likely be more than a decade before the proposed Norwalk River Valley Trail is fully completed.
The proposed public-private project, organized three years ago by residents from Norwalk, Wilton, Redding, Ridgefield and Danbury, involves building a 27-mile "recreational" trail from Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk to Danbury, primarily using state-owned lands in the Route 7 corridor.
Two miles of the recreational trail — which is designed for use by bicyclists, runners and walkers — have already been constructed in Norwalk and Wilton, however the remainder still needs to be approved and funded.
During an update before the Wilton Board of Selectmen on Monday, Mike Lindberg, member of the Norwalk River Valley Trail steering committee, said due to land-use and funding challenges the trail will likely need to be built in multiple phases over a period of 10 to 15 years. The steering committee in September received a feasibility study — from the National Recreational Trails Program and administered by the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection — which maps out a proposed route for the trail (see attached PDF). However Lindberg said due to potential land-use issues, the route is still far from set in stone.

About 90 percent of the proposed route through Wilton is on land which state Department of Transportation acquired decades ago for the now-defunct Super 7 highway project, which would have extended the Route 7 Connector to Danbury. Lindberg said the DOT has already given his group permission to build the bike trail on the Super 7 lands — however it is the 10 percent that will need to be on private property that poses potential problems and delays.
Lindberg said in order to build the trail through privately-owned lands, the town would either need to acquire an easement from each respective property owner, or buy the land outright.
Selectman Hal Clark, who is helping to spearhead the project, said while a bike trail "would be a tremendous recreational asset to the town, especially to those residents who live near it... we are not in the business of doing legal takings."
"This is not New London... we are not going to do this through eminent domain," Clark said. "If we wanted to buy a piece of property, the charter requires us to get town approval."
Lindberg, however, pointed out that it might be better for the town to acquire the small amount of private land needed for the trail, as opposed to getting easements, because of liability. He said the DOT will more than likely require the town to purchase additional liability coverage for the sections of the trail on state-owned lands — just as it has for other state properties under its control. Such coverage would cost the town about an additional $2,000 a year, based on current rates, he said.
However if the town only acquires an easement, the property owner could still be on the hook for providing liability coverage, he said.
Selectman Ted Hoffstatter said some of the residents in the Route 7 corridor have already won hard-fought battles to save their properties from eminent domain proceedings brought by the state during the Super 7 proposal, and therefore could react negatively to the bike trail proposal.
"They're going to be saying "'My God is something coming through here again?" Hoffstatter said, adding that effective communication and allowing the public to provide feedback on the project will be important as it moves forward.
Lindberg said the project has already met with some land use challenges — for example in North Wilton there is a 1/4-mile "gap" in the proposed route where the state never acquired any Super 7 land. Lindberg said the committee is looking for some alternative way to bring the trail through that area (from Thunder Lake to Georgetown), however there are currently no properties which can be used to facilitate its construction.
Then there is the question of how the project would be funded: Lindberg said it will be up to each community to establish a public-private partnership in order fund construction. That may or may not involve purchasing land, he said.
As far as maintenance goes, Lindberg said it would be up to the volunteer groups that oversee the trail in each town to keep it clear of litter and debris. He said in instances where the trail comes into a downtown area, the department of public works may wish to plow it and keep it clear of snow (the trails sometimes double as sidewalks in downtown areas). He said in the event there is a storm, the state parks service would assist in clearing storm debris from the trail.
Lindberg said the ultimate goal is to have the trail link with others heading north into the Berkshires — and beyond into Canada. He said the 27-mile stretch being proposed "is very similar in design and scope to trails that have been implemented elsewhere in the Northeast and throughout the country" including the famous Cape Cod Rail Trail.
Lindberg said his group studied similar projects in 12 other towns and found that they benefitted in a number of ways — for example residents' health and quality of life were improved through increased recreation; the trails helped take cars off the road which in turn reduced pollution and traffic congestion; there was a slight reduction in serious crime; and in some areas the trails helped spur businesses development.
What's more in some communities the development of a trail boosted residential property values by 10 to 15 percent, he said.
Lindberg said the group's goal is to bring the trail into each town center — as well as to link it to mass transit wherever possible.
First Selectman William Brennan said although some Wilton residents had "gotten worked up" over the proposal, when it was first announced in 2010, it was "mainly due to misinformation." For that reason he sees communication and community feedback as being critical to the project's success.
"Effective communication is what will alleviate all of these ungrounded fears," Brennan said, adding that in other areas of the country, such trails have become "an important asset to the community."
Lindberg said his group has already held five informational meetings in Wilton to give residents the opportunity to learn more about the project. He said his group will be holding additional forums for residents to provide feedback as the project progresses.
Brennan added that the public will be given ample opportunity to provide feedback as the various phases of project make their way through the local approvals process.

This is a wonderful tasteing cookie. I made these for a quick pick-me up during potato digging season. All the farm hands fell in love with them. I ground the oats and Hershey bar in my blender and then the nuts too. So, nothing sticks between your teeth and the shells are ground. This made for a great texture in this cookie.
I made these jars and sold them at Christmas. They were a huge hit. I ended up making about 300 jars. Everyone loved them.
Well the measurements were great, but the cookies were disappointing. They were hard, didn't have enough chocolate, and were dry. NOT YUMMY:(

My wife, daughter, and I continue our "assimilation" into this place called Westwood by participating in the Carnival @ the Westwood Mall on Broadway. We had no problem laying down the $25 for our daughter's wristband so she could enjoy any and all rides. The proceeds go to the Westwood (Volunteer) Ambulance Corps.
Having been involved with the Fire Department in my previous location (as the Chaplain, not an active firefighter), I respect the men and women who provide emergency services in all communities. It just so happens that Westwood is our present community.
Depending on when this blog post goes to "press," there still should be a couple of days left to attend the Carnival. But don't worry about spending $25 as it is FREE to enter.
But, if you're feeling generous . . .

Shrimporee is a sprawling shrimp festival that delivers crustaceous creations and zany, shrimp-themed festivities to families seeking fun and flavor. At the HEB Culinary Tent, chefs from across the state hook audiences with seafood-cooking demonstrations. The annual Shrimporee parade is another popular attraction with its gaudy floats and conga lines of flamboyant shrimp, getting underway on Saturday, June 11 at 10 a.m. Throughout the three-day fiesta, Aransas Pass's streets swell with the country crooning of singer Kyle Park and the Tejano serenades of Jay Perez, and an Eagles tribute band resurrects classic songs using magical guitars. Ambitious shrimp munchers take the stage to lay waste to entire crustacean civilizations in the shrimp-eating contest, and men flaunt their gams in the Men's Sexy Legs competition. This Groupon does not cover the cost of food, arts-and-crafts activities, or carnival rides.

Moscow is choked with smoke from surrounding fires. I follow developments online, reading over the weekend that they have been digging trenches to cut off the path of the blaze before it detonates nuclear stockpiles. Moscow has burned before, as described graphically in Tolstoy's great novel, War and Peace; the city was torched, historians tell us, by incendiaries who ignited and burned their great capital rather than succor the enemy. But in 1812, the city was evacuated by most of its citizens while now, my news screen shows endless images of people trapped in Moscow, trying to continue working and living in an asphyxiating cloud of crushing heat. Although Tolstoy also described those who remained in the city, in startling pictures of looting, rape, and street fighting, and sends his heroes hurtling impulsively into flaming houses to rescue babies, what seems more vivid, because it is closer to our own experience of spectatorship, is his account of Natasha, safely escaped into the countryside, gazing out the window at the glow on the horizon that is Moscow consumed by fire. Natasha is completely absorbed in her own problems, in the realization that the man she loves and rejected is dying in a bivouac next door to her family's shakedown for the night. Her eyes take in the image, but her mind does not comprehend it.
So, too, we look through the windows that are our laptop screens, at video clips of Russians gagging on smoke, heat and pollution, and read the daily death toll, and yet, despite our momentary shock and horror, we must return more urgently to our immediate problems, car repairs, job searches, debt management, mortgage refinancing, illnesses and death in the family, emotional-fall out after a visit with an ex-spouse, a custody battle, a cancer treatment.
Those friends and colleagues who know me and my academic writing, will recognize my obsession with framed literary images in my choice of this scene of Natasha, gazing at the image of Moscow burning and framed by a window sash. This is one of my beloved literary passages where the story telling stops so that the author may frame a moment and an image. This was what I wrote about in my book, Framing Anna Karenina. When the author of an enormous, flowing narrative decides to stop the action in order to gain the freedom to present a still, the reason must be compelling enough to abandon the principle of "advancing the story." Tolstoy is a master of the freeze-frame. In these moments, the action advances in those spectators in the text who, like the reader and audience, are viewing the image. Tolstoy's flaming Moscow as a combustion of crimson and orange on a distant horizon is viewed first by a crowd of spectators: a group of peasants discuss and analyze what they see, strangely like art lovers in a picture gallery: "What is that crimson light, on the left?" "Look at the billows of smoke." "Those black specks are the crows flying away."
But Natasha gazes out the window at the city that was her home and stares unmoved at its immolation and destruction, just as earlier, she sat at the opera and saw only cardboard sets and embarrassing costumes. She is not moved by any show in a frame. She was the girl who wanted to break through the window frame and fly away into a glorious night. Is there something about the very action of watching itself, that desensitizes, and inures, blunts and numbs, distances our emotions from what we see?

One Response to "War and Peace Part One: Tolstoy and Moscow"
[...] The ground in the front yard was shuddering like loose skin on an elephant's back if the beast had been shrugging its shoulders to topple a rider. The earth rippled like water. There was nowhere to run to. I dropped down on all fours and closed my eyes. The world was shaking around me. And then it stopped." I had written this much about my first encounter with Tolstoy when the earthquake in China struck. And then, I hesitated to send what I had written to my editor. My childish experience seemed trivial and jejune in light of the enormity of the tragedy unfolding. I was reminded of my ex-husband's dilemma ten year's earlier, when we were still married and had a new baby. And I had just been diagnosed with breast cancer. He was then working in conservation for the New York Zoological Society, on a campaign to prevent the destruction of the rain forest. He learned from my oncologist that a new drug, which might cure my cancer, was to become available only if we harvested in that jungle. Great principles, global concerns, and then the individual face of his family and the threat of one person's death. I think that what is great in Tolstoy's art is precisely this paradoxical experience of the overwhelming enormity and yet smallness of one person's urgent needs and human fears against the vast almost inhuman face of great, national tragedies.

A Bordeaux Blend, at its most basic, is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. The phrase, which seems to have originated with British wine merchants in the 19th Century, relates as much to wines made from the blend as to the grape variety combination itself (© Copyright material, Wine-Searcher.com). Far from being an officially defined or legal term, it is almost never used for wine-labeling purposes (although it occasionally appears on back labels). Its equivalent in the United States is Meritage, which is not only legally defined, but also a registered trademark....more
Saint-Emilion Grand Cru wines are produced under slightly tighter production restrictions than regular Saint-Emilion wines. As with other Grand Cru appellations, the intention behind this is to improve the quality, and to distinguish the area's finer wines from the more everyday wines.
There are four key differences between the production restrictions for Saint-Emilion wines, and those for Saint-Emilion Grand Cru wines. First, the vineyard yield is restricted to 8,000kg per hectare rather than 9,000 (which translates to 55 hL per hectare rather than 65). Second, the grapes (with the significant exception of Merlot) must be harvested with a must weight of at least 189 grams of sugar per liter rather than 180. Third, the finished wine must reach a min ...more

Creating an Audio CD with mp3cd
I guess the title tells you too much. The reality is that I was given some MP3 files and wanted to put them on a normal audio CD so the non-geeks here could listen to them. Thus, consider this a geek to non-geek conversion article.
First I looked at the obvious candidates in the Multimedia menu and found nothing useful. So, I decided to fire up Adept and see if it had any interesting sounding programs with mp3 in their name or description. The winner was mp3cd that was described as a program to burn audio CDs from MP3, Ogg, ... files. Perfect. I added the sucker and typed in its name.
It gave me a list of options. -n, simulate but don't write, sounded like a good first step. Well, in spite of the fact that it wasn't going to write anything, it complained it could not open the CD device /dev/cdrecorder. So, I fed it the right device with -d /dev/scd0 which brings the whole command line up to
mp3cd -d /dev/scd0 *mp3
It actually seemed to start working, cleaning up (its words) and creating WAV files. But, it then blew up with the folloing messages:
Checking WAV format for track 01 ...
sox did not report channel count:
sox: SoX v14.0.0
sox soxio: Failed reading `01.wav': unknown file type `auto'
Clearly, it was time to think about what that message might really mean. I decided it meant some sox library was missing. Firing up Adept again and looking for sox, I found a bunch of files whose names started libsox. One option was an "all" file. Sold. I clicked and when it was done, gave mp3cd another try.
It worked perfectly. It created a CD and sticking it in the CD player worked fine. And, for me, the good news is that I can do this again without ever having to use a GUI.
Phil Hughes
Exactly what I was looking for. Made an Amarok playlist with mixed mp3 and FLAC, created an m3u, used mp3cd, and voila! Valentines Day Mix CD, here we go. :D
I found that
I found that www.linuxfromscratch.org has a great page on k3b dependencies/addons..
first result when you search k3b there. The lib relevant to on-the-fly mp3 decoding is "libmad".
(My search also had a result pertaining to Ubuntu with something about "apt-get install libk3b2-mp3".
k3b has plugins, folks,
k3b has plugins, folks, including mp3 decoder, .flac decoder, etc. No .shn that I could find yet. Takes some poking around to get all the right libs, admittedly.
Great help
Thanks for this little article, it was exactly what I needed to get mp3cd to work!
My method
I'm a little crazy about the audio cd's I make. I thought I'd share my method.
First is the decoding to WAV from MP3. The key in this command is the mpg123 program.
ls | grep .mp3 | while read line; do mpg123 -w $line.wav $line; done
I usually follow this up with
mkdir Wave
mv *.wav Wave/
Next I'll open Audacity and literally go through each file and compress, normalize, enhance, etc. until I'm happy.
Then I write with K3B using DAO, no pre-emphasis, no post-gap, CD-TEXT enabled for all tracks.
A little crazy... yes.. a little...
Why all the extra
Why all the extra complexity? Is there some corner case I'm not seeing?
mkdir Wave
for file in *.mp3; do mpg123 -w $file Wave/$file.wav; done
What system do you use?
Thanks for the tip Phil!
What system do you use?
I'm asking because I'd like to know why the dependency of mp3cd wasn't installed automatically alongside mp3cd?
Excuse my ignorance please, but I have only used Debian so far and installing mp3cd on my box installed the sox libraries as well so I'm a bit puzzled how it didn't work on your end...
Kubuntu 8.04
Yeah, they should have been installed but Kubuntu/Debian dependencies sometimes have some holes in them.
Phil Hughes
Well, you can always use K3B
Well, you can always use K3B :)
I don't think so
K3B will happily create an audio CD if you have the WAV files but, as far as I know, it will not convert MP3 files to WAV files.
Phil Hughes
I'm pretty sure Brasero can do this too.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Dashi Braised Kabocha Squash
Author Notes: Dashi is a magical ingredient- adding a hint of smoke and umami to any dish. We love it in chawan mushi, soups and as one of the best sources of depth we can add to a dish. This is a variation on a theme we use with sweet potatoes, pork and potato stew. We often make dashi from scratch bringing a sheet of kombu just shy of a simmer in 4 cups water, then steeping for 10 minutes. We then add a healthy handful of bonito flakes and steep until they sink. Strain through a fine mesh strainer and use within a couple days. On lazy days or when we just need that extra boost, we use the granulated version. This squash is great warm or at room temperature and can be made ahead. - savorthis
Serves 4, as a side dish
- 1 medium kabocha squash
- 2 tablespoons oil (canola or light olive)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup dashi
- 1 tablespoon soy
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili garlic paste (more to taste)
- Cilantro, chopped, for garnish
- Green onion, thinly sliced, for garnish
- Cut kabocha in half, seed and cut into about 8 moon shapes. Mix remaining ingredients except cilantro and green onion.
- Heat a large pan over medium high heat. Add both oils to pan and add squash. Cook a few minutes until slightly brown. Flip and cook a few more minutes. Add liquid mixture and simmer about 20 minutes or until squash is tender when pierced with a sharp knife, flipping over about halfway through. Toward the end the liquid will turn syrupy. Shake the pan to coat all pieces and remove to a plate.
- Garnish with cilantro and green onion.

Was super excited to find this recipe to add to Thanksgiving feast then my boyfriend suggested to make it with David Chang's Bacon Dashi recipe (just use bacon instead of katsuo-bushi to make the dashi)...It was awesome! We also added bacon lardons as garnish, can't go wrong with that. Extra Thanksgiving indulgence!

do you think this would work with pumpkin?
8 months ago savorthis
Sure! I've used this method for varieties of squash, sweet potatoes, bok choy, brussels sprouts, whatever is on hand. You just have to adjust the liquid so things don't get too soggy.

This looks so delicious..I have to buy some stuff for this recipe..I have never used mirin or dashi...i do know a little a flavor profile..
almost 2 years ago savorthis
Thanks. I have actually been trying to eat less mirin just because of the sugar- though I suppose we use so little of it in the grand scheme of things. It lasts forever in the fridge so it is great to keep on hand. And dashi- I often will make my own as kombu and bonito also last forever in the pantry and when you do it that way, there is nothing else added (like msg etc). Though you have to make several cups that way so the granules are perfect for adding just a bit of flavor here and there. It is a must in my pantry.

We've often heard the phrase that you're the "apple of my eye". In the case of an Iowa man, like the apple, his eye had a worm in it.
John Matthews went to a doctor in Cedar Rapids, complaining that the vision in his left eye was being obscured by two dots. It took several specialists – and a number of tests – to discover that a worm had taken up residence.
Doctors shot two rounds of laser blasts into his eye to kill the worm. During the procedure, Matthews says he could actually see the worm trying to dodge the laser. He suspects he picked up the worm either in Mexico or while turkey hunting.
A crew from Animal Planet taped a segment after Matthews called the cable channel and described his ordeal.

Child Labor: A Tale of Agony and Shame in India
Bangalore: Child labor is extensively rampant in India where young children are employed for hazardous jobs in factories. The rights of these children are violated as it steals them of their dreams and possibilities, depriving them of education.
In a recent case, 50 child laborers aged 3 to 15 years were rescued from gunny bag and an incense factory in Bangalore, reported Arun Dev for TNN. A raid was carried out by the police and an NGO and it exposed the disturbing and unhygienic conditions under which the children were made to work. The children were from Bihar, Assam, Orissa and Punjab and were staying in the factories where they worked from 9 am to 12 midnight every day, said the officials.
The children revealed that their daily tasks included stitching jute bags and rolling incense sticks. Further, they had to sleep in dingy rooms where they worked, and they did not bathe for days. A teen who was rescued said "There are no fixed numbers but I ended up stitching about 40 bags on any day," as reported by TNN. He added "We eat, sleep and work in the room." His working hours were about 15 hours a day.
About 10 children worked in a small 8 feet by 8 feet room and an adult would keep a watch on them. It was also revealed that lunch break and toilet breaks were the only time they took leave of work.
It was noted that while the older boys were offered a salary, it was rarely paid and daily meal was the only thing they got.

Yes child labor is a problem and has to be solved. Now. However anyone heard of birth control? Having a child is not a right:only those who are willing and able to care for one should have one, boy or girl, handicapped or otherwise. India has cheap easily available contraception. Haul up the parents too, they are at fault.
