These are both on the pricey side and may be over-kill for most homeowners. I currently have a very small lawn and use a Craftsman mower, which is OK but I wouldn't really recommend it.... Dog.

Coleman® Rechargeable QuickPump™
- Portable pump that inflates and deflates inflatable products fast
- Five times faster than conventional hand or foot pumps
- Comes with adapters for Coleman Double Lock Valve™ and Pinch Valve
- Works with other valves
- Works with Boston Valve design
- Built-in rechargeable battery pack and battery charger included
Manufacturer model #: 2000000834.
NOTE: Assorted Colors of black and red. Sorry, specific color requests cannot be accommodated.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by saltycat77 Reliable, durable and quick. I have owned two of these for many years and I love them for camping boating and at the beach. Getting ready to buy another as I have one for the boat and camper but need one for the cottage to inflate rafts and such. Inverters will allow you to charge the battery away from home. They hold their charge pretty well as I can inflate 4 single air mattresses and then some on a full charge. A queen bed inflates in about 3 minutes twins in a little under 2. One of them is 10+ years old and the battery still works pretty well. A little noisy but quieter than a hair dryer I think. Really a great product and I generally don't give 5 stars for much! November 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sixhands Good pump The pump works good enough. When it says it takes 15 minutes to pump, that doesn't seem long; until you are actually waiting for it. We have a two-person tube and it pumps it with 15 minutes or so. September 13, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by LEXX Handy&Efficent I have used this several times since purchase, it is fast and more manuverable . Very happy with it. March 10, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by HockeyHal Great portable air pump As others have noted it is NOT a quiet pump. It also does not have a presure guage. What it does do is fill up most every type of inflatable item. Including pool toys, inflatable beds, boat tubes and tow behinds. It does it quickly and it also can be switched over to deflate all these items as well. Because it has a powerful battery you can use it on a boat or campsite. Just make sure to charge it up before you go. They do make a corded version as well but the batery one is best when out of the house. September 3, 2010

willies on 16th st. – this place has the most burger for your buck
Not to mention the food is awesome in taste and its freshly cooked, the breakfast is so wonderful,
i love this place. you get your moneys worth and the flavor is worth it.
Great chili reminds me of tommy's – I stumbled across Willies 5 years ago and been going there every since. By chance the owner was there got to talking and noticed his sign about Tommy's. Had a chili burger it reminded me of Tommy's in LA 32 years ago!! Except for one thing at Tommy's there are no fry's just chips. They even have Tommy's chili pepper! Better than a canned jalapeno! I never new that Tommy's secret ingredient is carrots???? Who would have ever guessed!!
Too expensive, bad fries, over priced drinks – VERY bad prices .place is not worth it. Fries are horrible. DO NOT eat here, drinks too much. Plcae is packed( I dont know why) bad selection, greasy are very plain food
There n back again #2 Wow had 2 make a another willies review. This place always a Sacromento clasic – There n back again #2 Wow had 2 make another willies review. This place always a Sacromento clasic has just gotten better since my last visit in 2006. The chili is still fantastic and now served at a hotter temp. The burgers and hotdogs are greatly improved. All hotdogs are steamed n have that essential snap that a great chillidog requires. The hotdog buns either steamed or grilled were a perfect match to an impecable chili experance, easily a match 4 pinks, or tommy's, in Los Angeles. The tomatoes, and pickles, were crisp and yummy. A great taste contrast on the chili burgers, all in all well worth the trip. Also the best darn fries n onion rings. When in Sacromento dont miss out. Plus they had an extensive breakfast menu. (i havent had the chance 2 try yet but it looked incredable 4 a chilli joint:) n hey the employees really cared.
Watch What You Eat – I was disappointed in Willie's Burgers yesterday, due to the fact that their burger was cold and messy. Also, case and final point as I watched the lady take the fries out of the fry bin and put them back into the fryer to reheat them. How gross is it eating over saturated doubled dipped fries. On top of that she wiped them (the fries) with with a so-called towel to absorb the oil. Who knows where the towel has been. Make new fries for crying out loud. Knowing such I did not eat the fries and took and bite out of the burger and chucked the rest. What a waste for a students hard earned money. I think In-n-Out would have been a better choice. Bye-Bye Willie's. (Fair Oaks & Arden)
Great Burgers – If you like Burgers and really who doesn't, this is a place in town worth checking out. Get your burger any way you like it and add chili if thats your thing. They also have good breakfast!
Great Burger, Great Fries, – You will have to try it, you may not be impressed when you walk in but as soon as you taste the food you'll be hooked. This is a weekly stop me and my niece, we talk about going somewhere else but the quality of food always has us ending up at Willies. Burgers are made to order don't be fooled by the menu they will fix your burger any way you like, add bacon or pastrami, bun orr no bun!!! yours to create. French fries are great, you'll always want more when you're done,I like the seasoned salt my niece likes them without. Chili is excellent have it by itself or on burger or fries..
place for late night grub – The hours are great considering the neighborhood. Onion rings, hamburgers are tasty, they surprisingly offer a no frills breakfast. I probably wouldn't make the effort to come here if there were other non fast food options available
Best Burgers in town! – Ahh, Willie's- great burgers, fresh fries, cold soda, and a nice environment. That is all that needs to be said about the place. I would highly recommend that you go and try it.
Way past good... – This places is wonderful! I first discovered the deliciousness that is Willie's after a mock trial competition my Sophomore year of High School, when we went to grab some burgers after a late night. After that I was in love with the Slammer, and later Hammer 3, and I love nothing more than to wash it down with a large Cola. My one, miniscule complaint about the joint is that you feel kinda like a slob if you drop anything on the table, which is a feat in itself with the Slammer, but it's so worth it. On a parting note, make sure that if you get fries, you ask for them to be seasoned in Garlic Onion seasoning, which amplifyies an already great burger experience. Definitely recommended.

URANIUM BOOM BOOMING … The folks in Paradox Valley formed a Sustainability Association and last weekend they hosted psychotherapist Sharyn Cunningham at the Red Church (Paradox Community Center) talking on the physical, psychological and social effects of living near the uranium mill being planned for Piñon Ridge up the valley, past Bedrock … Earlier Montrose County had hosted a briefing for its staff from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment at the Montrose Pavilion to explain the current uranium regulatory framework in the state. CDPHE Team Leader Steve Tarlton told how Colorado "had a deal" with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to license uranium mills in the state. CDPHE had long experience with the uranium industry and had learned from previous mistakes. "Everything we've done we've learned from," said Tarlton. "Our job is not just to regulate, but to protect and learn." The emphasis on the environment, "That's something new," he said. "Now we are very focused on the environment." He referenced new regulations that had dropped exposure levels for those living near mill sites several times, and was proud that his agency had a much stricter evaluation of potential sites than in the past (when they built them beside rivers like at Uravan, Naturita, Durango, and Moab) … Phil Egidi, health scientist for the agency, noted that CDPHE was bonding for reclamation upfront in the regulatory process, having had lots of bankrupt companies that never cleaned up and left the state holding the reclamation bill. So, mill decommissioning would be planned and surety set aside before operation under current regs … Of course, since mill tailings still glow (however faintly) with radioactive isotopes with near-perpetual half-lives, the disposal cells will have to be "maintained." After a likely 20- to 30-year life, a decommissioned mill would be turned over to the Department of Energy for long-term maintenance and the company will guarantee about a million dollars for that long term maintenance … Which sounds like a lot until you realize that the DOE is committed, by contract, to keep custody and maintenance of the mill disposal cells for the next 1,000 years. That is, it's really the taxpayers and seven times seven times seven generations to come who will be picking up the final bill.
LOCAL GEOTHERMAL? … Turns out the southeastern hunk of the county has possible geothermal potential for energy development, if techniques for locating veins of high heat gradient at depth are perfected. We're in the zone – Ouray to Orvis to Rico to Dunton and on down to Pagosa (with our own little anomalous Placerville warm spring vent off Little Cone) … Matt Sares, deputy director of the Colorado Geological Survey, gave a briefing to a recent Tri-County North meeting in Ridgway (Montrose, Ouray and San Miguel). CGS is doing a study on subsurface temperature estimates in the Rico area – under consideration by various parties for alternative energy development. And Ouray is mulling over a city and county study proposal. An Icelandic trade mission interested in developing geothermal resources is coming to Colorado … And Sare's geothermal gradient mapping PowerPoint showed high heat flow underlying much of the San Juans, with a warm outlier towards Little and Lone Cone.
OIL and GAS … With EnCana putting its Paradox Basin operations on the market, it wasn't surprising to see Sares' PowerPoint graphs of the county's annual oil and gas production, as well as its well activity (well, well, well) … Actually, tracking from 2000, natural gas production peaked in the county in 2006 at 19 billion cubic feet, and seems to be tracking the seven-year rise, peak and decline of oil production (down to 3,000 barrels a year), which seems to explain why EnCana is pulling out. Personally, I'm sorry to see them go. Their company team was excellent to work with, responded quickly to issues and met most best practices standards … Well permits and completions through 2007 saw a steady up and down in the five to 30 a year range, with the peak in 2004. So, nobody's leaving, really. Just a changing of the company guards. We'll see what kind of outfit will be the next operators of EnCana's old facilities, and what kind of wildcats go nosing around the perimeter of their known strikes. And how far the purses lead them … The latest BLM natural gas permit auction, slated for November, includes parcels in the San Miguel Canyon and up on Iron Springs Mesa.
SUSTAINABILITY HEROES … John Powers's Denver-based Alliance for Sustainable Colorado is hosting statewide Heroes of Sustainability awards at a Sustainability Gala at the Sherman Events Center at 1770 Sherman St. in Denver on Thursday, Oct. 16, from 6-9 p.m. It sounds like a good idea – if we're going to move as a society toward sustainability then we ought to start by honoring those that are leading the way … And it turns out that two of my favorite sustainability advocates are co-finalists for the HOS award in the nonprofit category – local Green Party member Kris Holstrom of The New Community Coalition, who's done such an amazing job getting our region moving toward resilience and wise practices, and Durango's Katrina Blair, founder of Turtle Lake Refuge and featured Telluride Mushroom Festival speaker who hiked to the Galaxy Theater on foot from Durango this past August, with a friend, taking six days and collecting wild edibles and mushrooms on the way … Both are amazing women, and we ought to honor them both – so I hope they get to share a HOS award from Denver's Mayor Hickenlooper, who's participating in the presentations.
BAILOUT BENNIES … Pork-barreled into the recent emergency bailout plan for Wall St. (what my liberal buddies have rightly dubbed "Republican Socialism") are some little known provisions that are high priority wins for the National Association of Counties – the D.C. group that lobbies for the interests of county governments … Payment in Lieu of Taxes will be fully funded as part of the bailout, which means San Miguel County – which got over $300,000 in PILT monies last year – may be in for an increase. And that full funding is locked in for four more years … Along with that good news, the Secure Rural Schools Act got renewed, also for four more years. That saves cash-poor former timber counties in rural California and Oregon (primarily) from having to charge taxes for schools and hospitals. Instead, the Fed is subsidizing them, because their county budgets were dependent on timber harvest proceeds. With the slowdown of cutting on federal lands, the proceeds from sales that are no longer occurring are still flowing to these rural places – more in the form of severance mitigation for when local logging's boom and bust cycle finally busted than any carefully thought-out readjustment plan. That's probably good news for the coastal western states, and even a few spots in Colorado, but maybe as Pitkin County's Dorothea Farris suggests, a bad (unsustainable) way to fund essential facilities … Finally, the production tax credits for solar, wind and geothermal have been extended once again, saving a small but growing alternative energy sector from collapse … All of that however but a pittance of this historic giveaway of our common wealth to falling free markets … Someone explain to me how advanced neocon bushreaganomics works – I thought markets were suppose to rise. And fall. Freely.

QUESTION PRESENTED: Can paralegals employed by law firms appear on behalf of creditors at Section 341 hearings in bankruptcy proceedings to question and examine debtors?
ANSWER: No. The appearance of a paralegal without a supervising attorney would constitute an unauthorized practice of law.
ANALYSIS: It is true that a bankruptcy trustee is not required to be a lawyer pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 321. However, a trustee is an individual who is "competent" to serve as trustee, who is required to furnish a bond, and who is fully subject to review by the Court. It is often the case as well, that the bankruptcy judge's law clerk is not a licensed attorney, but assists the judge in writing opinions and performing legal research. The heart of the concept in these matters, is that these individuals are, in essence, arms of the Court, and assist the Court in its proper functioning. In Montana, Section 37-61-101, M.C.A. 1987, states unequivocally that the Supreme Court has the authority to determine whether any agents or employees of any law firm are possessed of the requisite skill, competence and ethics necessary to practice law in the State of Montana. The Supreme Court has that power to make that determination through a bar examination, yearly continuing legal education requirements and the Code of Professional Responsibility. In the case of Bennion, Van Camp, Hagen and Ruhl, vs. Kassler Escrow, Inc., 635 P.2d 730 (1981), the Supreme Court of the State of Washington stated, "The 'practice of law' does not lend itself easily to precise definition. . . selection and completion of pre-printed form legal documents has been found to be 'practice of law'." Id at page 732. The Washington Supreme Court in the Bennion decision, referred to another case, Washington State Bar Association vs. Great Western Union Federal Savings and Loan Assoc., 586 P.2d 870 (1978), which stated that it was the duty of the Court to "protect the public from the activity of those who because of lack of professional skills, may cause injury whether they are members of the bar of persons never qualified for or admitted to the bar." In another case, Washington State Bar Assoc. vs. Washington Assoc. of Realtors, 251 P.2d 619 (1952), the Court stated that "there is no such thing as a simple legal instrument in the hands of a layman."
In Montana, Section 37-61-201, M.C.A. 1987, states that "any person who shall hold himself out . . . or who shall appear in any court of record or before a judicial body, referee, commissioner, or other officer appointed to determine any question of law or fact by a court or who shall engage in the business and duties and perform such acts, matters, and things as are usually performed by an attorney at law in the practice of his profession for the purposes of Parts 1 through 3 of this chapter, shall be deemed practicing law." It seems pretty clear from this statutory definition, which dates back to the laws of 1917, that a paralegal appearing in a Section 341 meeting would be deemed to be practicing law in Montana.
In Florida Bar vs. Pascual, 424 So.2d 757 (1982), the Supreme Court of Florida ruled that a "paralegal who represented a party in purchase and closing of restaurant purchase without supervision of attorney . . . engaged in the unauthorized practice of law . . . " In this particular case, the paralegal was also the president of the Atlantic Title Corp., and had a great deal of expertise, but held the closing of the restaurant without the active supervision of the attorney involved.
In the Matter of Bradford Arthur, U.S. Bankruptcy Court (E.D. Penn. 1981), involved the activities of a paralegal advising and counseling "clients" as to the various provisions of the bankruptcy code, including exemptions, dischargability and automatic stay, advising and counseling members of the general public on the relative advantages of filing a petition for liquidation under Chapter 7 petitions, and preparing and filing applications to pay filing fees in installments. The Bankruptcy Court held that such activities constituted the unauthorized practice of law in a bankruptcy proceeding whenever such an individual was not a member of any bar, not authorized to practice law in any jurisdiction, and cited 11 U.S.C. Sections 701 et seq., 1101 et seq. and 1301 et seq. Further, the Bankruptcy Court held that "courts have the inherent authority , independent of the statute, to decide what acts constitute the practice of law." The Court also went on to say that "as generally understood the practice of law involved the performance of services in a court of law in conformity with adopted rules of procedures." Perhaps the strongest statement that the Bankruptcy Court made in this case was the holding that "when a judgment requires the abstract understanding of legal principles, and a refined skill for their concrete application, the exercise of legal judgments is necessary, and the 'practice of law' is involved."
In the case of In re Bryan W. Pearson, U. S. Bankruptcy Court (S.D. Fla. 1986), the Bankruptcy Court discharged an attorney as debtor's attorney, and enjoined the attorney from further practice in the Bankruptcy Court until such time as he completed a minimum of nine hours in continuing legal education in the area of bankruptcy and filed an affirmative statement that he was now conversant with bankruptcy matters and qualified to represent a client in bankruptcy matters in accordance with D.R. 6-101 and E.C. 6-1, 6-2, 6-3 and 6-4 of the Rules of Professional Responsibility. In this case, before the Bankruptcy Court, the attorney admitted in a motion to vacate the Court's dismissal of a Chapter 13 case, that he had not undertaken a bankruptcy petition in a number of years and was not aware of a Chapter 13 statement and plan requirement. The attorney stated that he had relied upon the advice given by the assistant clerks in the bankruptcy clerk's office, who told him that he had submitted all required forms and schedules and that the forms and schedules were purchased at an office supply store pursuant to the clerks instructions. The Bankruptcy Court stated, "It is outrageous that an attorney, who has achieved a law degree and obtained admission to the Florida Bar, publicly admits that he practices based on advice of assistant court clerks and products available in a stationary store." Inherent in this statement is the obvious injunction that a paralegal, no matter how knowledgeable, must be subject to a qualified attorney's active supervision.

Raw Muira Puama is said to improve psychological and physical aspects of libido and sexual function, menstrual cramps and PMS. Muira Puama is one of the most active botanicals with a long history of traditional use as an energy tonic and remedy for impotence & sexual insufficiency. It is known in some circles as "the Viagra of the Amazon" and in fact, many people consider it the new Yohimbe but with considerably less possible side effects.
Muira Puama was the subject of a study conducted by the UCLA School of Medicine. The study showed a significant improvement in both erectile function and sexual desire. The Amazon natives have known this for centuries, as this herb has been widely used as an aphrodisiac by both men and women, and is commonly known as "potent wood".
The short term effects of Muira Puama include increasing blood flow to the pelvic area, aiding erections in men as well as sensation and orgasm in women. Longer term use enhances the production of sex hormones in both sexes. It has no noted side effects though, as with many sexual stimulants, it can slightly raise blood pressure.
Muira Puama has also been used for stress management, nervous system stimulation and for general overall health. Two French studies showed that Muira Puama seemed to improve libido and sexual function. Scientists also believe that this herb increases testosterone levels, though this has not yet been clinically proven.
It has been used to tonify the nervous system and to treat cases of mild exhaustion. It can also help with gastrointestinal and reproductive disorders, while it's anti-rheumatic properties have been used for treating stress and trauma.
A clinical study with 262 patients complaining of lack of sexual desire and the inability to attain or maintain an erection demonstrated Muira Puama extract to be effective in many cases. Within 2 weeks, at a daily dose of 1 to 1.5 grams of the extract, 62% of patients with loss of libido claimed that the treatment had dynamic effect while 51 percent of patients with "erection failures" felt that Muira Puama was of benefit. Primary chemical constituents of muira Puama include alkaloids (specifically muirapuamine), esters, plant sterols, free fatty acids and phytosterols. Presently, the exact mechanism of action of this herb is still under investigation. From the preliminary information, it appears that it works on enhancing both psychological and physical aspects of sexual function.
Muira Puama is employed around the world today in herbal medicine. In Brazil and South American herbal medicine, it is used a neuromuscular tonic, for asthenia, paralysis, chronic rheumatism, sexual impotency, grippe, ataxia, and central nervous system disorders. In Europe, it has used to treat impotency, infertility, neurasthenia, menstrual disturbances and dysentery. Because of the long history of use of Muira Puama in England, it is still listed in the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia, a noted source on herbal medicine from the British Herbal Medicine Association, where it is recommended for the treatment of dysentery and impotence. It has been gaining in popularity in the United States where herbalists and health care practitioners are using Muira Puama for impotency, menstrual cramps and PMS, neurasthenia and central nervous system disorders.
While so-called "aphrodisiacs" have come and gone in history, Muira Puama has risen above this class of products and may well provide the most effective natural therapeutic approach for loss of libido in both sexes.

SNBL Clinical Pharmacology Center (Baltimore, MD) is conducting a research study with an investigational medication to see if it helps to reduce the healing time for genital herpes outbreaks. Click here and scroll down to "Genital Herpes Study" for more information; recruiter information is at the bottom of that page.
About HELP
HELP of Washington is a support group for people who have genital herpes, so we know how it can affect your life. We know the shock, the anger, the fear and the loneliness it can cause. We also know that these feelings are borne of misunderstanding and fear of rejection. Our purpose is to provide accurate information and emotional support.
New Edition of "Managing Herpes"
The newly-revised edition of "Managing Herpes"—a 272 page book that covers medical, social, and emotional issues relating to "living with herpes"—is now available. It can be purchased by check or cash, for $25.00 at our local HELP of Washington, herpes support group meetings. "Managing Herpes" can also be purchased online through the American Social Health Association (ASHA).
Our local organization is truly in need of more funding. The funding is used to cover operating expenses such as: our local telephone help line, printing costs, various office supplies, meeting supplies, advertising, marketing, etc.
Please help keep HELP of Washington up and running so we can continue to give personal interactive support to those in need by sharing medical, social, and emotional experiences related to living with herpes.
Contributions would be greatly appreciated!

Artist Lisa Brooks to be Featured During Feburary Gallery Walk
Brattleboro, Vermont - The work of Lisa Brooks, Persons alum '02, will be featured during February Gallery Walk in downtown Brattleboro on Friday, Feb. 7 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Marlboro College Technology Center.
Brooks' gallery walk exhibit will include a retrospective of her work over the past ten years. She will display a full range of her art including large flower watercolors, goddess and angel images, body castings and computer enhanced photography. Brooks says of her work, "I find myself straddling the fence between the world of spirit, mythical and contemporary, and the cyberage of today. I depict in my images elemental dynamics. I perceive that nature includes the energy that powers technology. I do not see any conflict in being an artist who uses both pixels and birch bark, the paintbrush and mouse."
Brooks has been the art teacher at Whitingham School in Whitingham, VT for the past 22 years. She illustrated Joe Eck's book, Elements of Garden Design, Henry Holt, 1996, with 32 pen and ink drawings of North Hill.. Her work has been shown locally and online and she has won numerous awards for her teaching and for her art.
Gallery Walk at the Technology Center begin with the opening reception at 5:30 p.m. Ample free parking will be available at the Technology Center, at 28 Vernon St.

This is a sketchbook study for a commissioned portrait I am working on. …well, commissioned as in purchased as an item at a charity auction. No one is ACTUALLY going to pay me to paint.
I am trying to decide if I want to add ink to this. Since this is just the sketchbook version, I might go ahead and try. Let me know what you think, and if anyone has any general ideas for the big version I would love to hear them!

And at the block party there was a special raffle of a Mike Ditka Chicago Bears jersey to help a little girl suffering from cancer. The little girl lives on another block, but that's how Mount Greenwood is. A child needs help, the neighbors are there.
So two days before the block party, Jay mowed his lawn and set up the tent to prepare for the party. The Mayoskis' side business — Pump It Up in Orland Park, with those large inflatables where little kids climb in and jump and get sweaty — had previously donated $200 to help that little girl.
But that evening, Jay told Jennifer he didn't feel well. She wanted him to call an ambulance. He told her that would be embarrassing. Besides, he had to go to work the next day.
So he went to sleep. And Jennifer had fallen asleep, too, in their son Nicholas' bed. The next morning at 5 a.m., Jay's alarm clock went off, and she thought it was odd that he left it that way. It was blaring when she entered the room and saw him in bed.
"I touched him. He was cold. And I just knew he was gone," Jennifer said, still overwhelmed by guilt that she didn't force him to go to the ER. "I feel guilty because I didn't make him go. He never complains."
Her husband was 37 years old, in what appeared to be good health.
"Who thinks he's having a heart attack at 37?" she said.
Then came the wake and the Mass at Queen of Martyrs Roman Catholic Church in Evergreen Park, the burial at Holy Sepulchre, and all those people at the front door, making condolence calls.
Jennifer didn't recognize one of the families. Members of the family pulled up in a gray Jeep and handed a sympathy card to Jennifer's sister. Jennifer tried to catch them, but they hurried off before she could thank them.
She opened the card. There was $300 inside.
Here is what was written inside:
"You don't know us. We are the parents of Emily Beazley. Emily is battling cancer. At your block party, your block was raffling off a jersey for Emily. Your block collected $300. We would like you to have it. We know it isn't much, but we hope it helps. We are very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our prayers. Ed, Nadia, Emily and Olivia Beazley."
Jennifer began to cry.
"That little girl, I was so touched ... that she thought about me in my time of need instead of herself," Jennifer said. "Being a mother, I can't even begin to imagine going through that."
Jennifer's next thought, the card and bills in her hand, was "absolutely not." That money was raised for Emily. It would go to Emily.
Emily doesn't like to talk about death. What hurt her was the idea of other kids losing their father.
"I felt really bad, so I decided to give the money back," Emily told us. "I said, you know, I think I should give the money back. And my mom said OK."
But Jennifer Mayoski didn't see it that way. She quickly returned the cash. She kept the card.
"That money is for Emily," she said.
So the gift made a journey. It traveled on Chicago's Far Southwest Side, in a neighborhood of cops and firefighters and churches, from one block to another, from Jay and his neighbors, to Emily, and then to Jennifer, and back to Emily again.
It was a precious gift. But money had nothing to do with it.

On Sunday, November 10, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Fury Lecture Hall of the Prusmack Center, the Occupational Therapy Program will present Robin M. Butler discussing feeding therapy for the pediatric population. This presentation is open to the community and is most appropriate for occupational and speech therapists.
Feeding problems can seriously damage the parent-child relationship as well as lead to nutritional growth and health problems. Children with developmental challenges are at risk for food avoidance and mealtime conflicts. The impact of the sensory-motor development on dining is becoming more prevalent in pediatric practice. This seminar will address this growing problem for therapists in pediatric practice. The emphasis will be on children from birth to five with varying diagnoses. Ms. Butler will review typical oral-motor development and its impact upon total development and then describe oral motor dysfunction. She will share, via lecture, videos and activities, helpful strategies and tools which can turn feeding and mealtime into opportunities for growth. Though coming from a perspective of occupational therapy, Ms. Butler's expertise will insure that any discipline working with children food avoidance and mealtime issues could benefit from this seminar.
8:30 a.m. Registration/Morning Coffee, Tea and Continental Breakfast
9: 00 a.m. Program Begins
1:00 p.m. Lunch (on your own)
3:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. Question Session

64 Studio is a collection of native free software for digital content creation on x86_64 hardware (AMD's 64-bit CPUs and Intel's EM64T chips). It's based on the pure 64 port of Debian GNU/Linux, but with a specialised package selection and lots of other customisations. The distribution includes the Linux kernel with realtime preemption patches, the GNOME desktop, and a selection of creative applications, covering audio and music, 2D and 3D graphics, and publishing for the Web and print. It also includes Internet and office tools that a creative user is likely to need for their daily work.
A.M.I.C.U.S. (Automatic Multimedia Installation Configuration Utility System) helps users quickly and easily install and configure MythTV on generic PC hardware. It uses the Debian Netinst CD to install GNU/Linux and just the required packages to allow a functional MythTV on low end hardware.
ALSA MIDI Kommander is a DCOP interface exposing many ALSA Sequencer features for shell scripts, Kommander scripts, or KDE programs requiring MIDI sequencer services. A few utilities are included, which can be used both as programming examples and as real work tools. The main program, "kaseq" is a single executable used as a DCOP service program. It runs as a daemon, allowing only a single running instance, and provides a system tray icon to give visual feedback for MIDI activity and a way to control the program's execution.
The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture is composed of several parts. The first is a fully modularized sound driver which supports module autoloading, devfs, isapnp autoconfiguration, and gives complete access to analog audio, digital audio, control, mixer, synthesizer, DSP, MIDI, and timer components of audio hardware. It also includes a fully-featured kernel-level sequencer, a full compatibility layer for OSS/Free applications, an object-oriented C library which covers and enhances the ALSA kernel driver functionality for applications (client/server, plugins, PCM sharing/multiplexing, PCM metering, etc.), an interactive configuration program for the driver, and some simple utilities for basic management.
AZR3-JACK is a port of the free VST plugin AZR-3. It is a tonewheel organ with drawbars, distortion and rotating speakers. The original was written by Rumpelrausch Täips. The organ has three sections, two polyphonic with 9 drawbars each and one monophonic bass section with 5 drawbars. The two polyphonic sections respond to events on MIDI channel 1 and 2, and an optional keyboard split function makes the bass section listen to the lower keys on channel 1. The three sections have separate sustain and percussion switches as well as separate volume controls, and the two polyphonic sections have separate vibrato settings. All three sections are mixed and sent through the distortion effect and the rotating speakers simulator, where the modulation wheel can be used to switch between fast and slow rotation, and the fast and slow rotation speeds themselves can be changed separately for the lower and upper frequencies.
Acovel is a cross-platform media player (currently running on Linux and Windows). It features an intelligent algorithm that will analyze both ID3 (v1 ahd v2) tags and filenames to fill up its music collection database. Its search feature is very fast. It is currently limited to playing albums, but upcoming versions will make it a full-featured media player.

Dr. KimOanh Nguyen-Lam taught Intermediate Vietnamese in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures for the year 2005-06. In Spring 2006 she also taught Introductory Vietnamese.
She is an active community member, working to promote heritage language preservation and development for younger generations.

The charter school reform emerged in part out of a progressive effort to promote innovation that could be used to improve all public schools, and to open up discussion on the relationship between school and community, particularly in urban areas. It was a movement initiated by Ray Budde, a professor at the University of Massachusetts and envisioned as a school that would gain freedom to try different methods of teaching that could be transferred to all public schools.
However, a funny thing happened along the way. Free-market zealots (with riches) realized that over $600 billion is spent in the U.S. on public schools. A whole new frontier leading to stable profits was recognized. Everyone knows "it takes money to make money," and the faces behind the voucher/charter "reform" movement are not bashful in stepping up to the bar.
To encourage vouchers for religious schooling instead.
Jerry Falwell once said his goal was to destroy the public schools. In 1998, confronted with the quote, he denied making it by claiming he'd had nothing to do with the book in which it appeared. The author of the book was Jerry Falwell.
A nation that destroys its systems of education, degrades its public information, guts its public libraries and turns its airwaves into vehicles for cheap, mindless amusement becomes deaf, dumb and blind. It prizes test scores above critical thinking and literacy. It celebrates rote vocational training and the singular, amoral skill of making money. It churns out stunted human products, lacking the capacity and vocabulary to challenge the assumptions and structures of the corporate state. It funnels them into a caste system of drones and systems managers. It transforms a democratic state into a feudal system of corporate masters and serfs. […]

The halls will be alive with the sound of music and soothsayers and art seekers and food eaters and the footsteps of dancers on bamboo floors. The Artasia building, 181 N Broadway, will host a benefit on Saturday April 16, 7 PM to 2 AM, to aid relief efforts in Japan.
JAM 4 JAPAN features live music by Ashland Slate, Jali Kunda, Loveall, and Nomad Soul, a silent auction, raffles, tarot card readings, and food from local restaurants & cafés. You can listen and dance to the bands in the Cuvée Champagne Lounge, see Asian art, crafts, buddhas, etc, in the Artasia Gallery & Museum, and contemplate PHOTOSCAPES, photography by Mark Baran, Steven Crossot, Art Elkon, Keith Knox, & Suzanne Rosenblatt in the latest guest show at Rosenblatt Gallery. I'll write more about this show in my next blog!
PHOTOSCAPES April 15, EARTH POETS April 16 & 22
Crumple the calendar, toss it into recycle, it no longer suffices. Earth Day, Poetry Month, Gallery Night. Emails, iPhones. iPads, iPods. Texts, tweets. Forest fires, oil spills, mine collapses. Quakes, tsunamis, tornados. Rallies, revolutions. A moment of silence for the dead, a century of noise for the living. Noise. No-ise. No-ease. Everyone on the move. What's the next event?
For me it's the OPENING RECEPTION for PHOTOSCAPES, (PHOTO-ESCAPES?) featuring Mark Baran, Steven Crossot, Art Elkon, Keith Knox, & me, at ROSENBLATT GALLERY, 181 N. Broadway, Friday, APRIL 15, 6:30-10 PM. I travelled the world with a brownie for years, have since upgraded, and last October found myself snapping up the unexpected beauty of autumn in Harriman State Park (NY).
That's why I'm in a photography show for the first time. What's the next event?
I'm always aware of impermanence, never expect good things to last. I'm sure it didn't occur to me at the first Earth Poets performance in 1988 that we'd still be performing together in 2011. Every year I look backwards in amazement. I'm so delighted to be a member of the troupe that no matter what's happening in my life, I've never missed a performance.
This month is the 24th ANNUAL EARTH POETS & MUSICIANS PERFORMANCES, last performance tomorrow! Here are the details:

"What they're trying to do is take the jobs away from people working in this city," the mayor declared in his harshest criticism of the three-week-old protest that has caught the attention of the nation.
"They're trying to take away the tax base we have because none of this is good for tourism."
