s T h e G o 11 e g e News VOL. XVI, NO. 3 BRYN MAWft (AND WAYNE), PA., WEDNESDAY, OCT. 23, 1929 PRICE, 10 CENTS Revived Players Start Season Successfully TKe first production of the reorgan- ized Varsity Players was given in Goodhart Auditorium on Thursday, October 17. The play, "Riders to the Sea," by John Synge, seemed a some- what ambitious choice for so inex- perienced an organization, but the selection justified itself under the com- petent direction of Mary Drake. Catherine Rieser, as " Maurya, the aged mother who has lost all of her menfolk to the sea, played her part with complete understanding and cre- ated an atmosphere of mystery and tragedy which kept the audience in a statr of tension during all her scenes. Mary Coss and Betty Young, as the two daughters, were extremely decora- tive in their peasant costumes. Miss Coss did an especially fine piece of work at the opening curtain in estab- lishing the mood of the piece. The scene in which Michael's clothes were identified gave Miss Young an oppor- tunity to do a difficult bit of acting in which she distinguished herself also. Lucy Swift made a very-wistful and real young man of Bartley, holding up the high standard of the performance in her brief entry. Perhaps the hardest task of the di- rector was to introduce the keening women in a natural way and make them blend into the background with- out being wholly passive. The effort was not entirely successful. The en- trance of the women was somewhat out of keeping, as their moaning was forced and unnatural at first. After they had knelt, however, the moaning seemed to become more monotonous and intruded less on the sensibilities of the observer. Undoubtedly the weird effeci of the scene by the corpse was heightened by these low, unearthly sounds. The scenery, costumes, and make-up, though not entirely realistic, w�re artistic and striking. As the Players did not attempt to speak in the Irish dia- lect, their lack of realism cannpt be considered a fault of production, and they are to be applauded for sustain- ing throughout, the brooding and fatalistic mood of Synge's play. Art Club Plans On Thursday, October 17, the Bryn Mawr Art Club gave a small informal* tea in Merion. The_Qfficers. this._year are B. Kirk, '31. president; E. Suss- *man, '31, treasurer, and D. Moos, '31, studio manager. The first meeting of the season on Saturday, ^October 19, was attended by the customary display of talent and enthusiasm. The latter is occasionally greater than "the former, but to the happy and besmocked art- ists -this matters no whit. They merely beg that the final judgment be re- served until the exhibition of original work with which they intend to please ' and surprise the rest of*the college sometime next spring. In the mean- while they will faithfully endeavor to follow the guidance of Mr. Henry Mc- Carterj,of the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts, who is himself a modern painter, and can wish them, as he said, nothing better than that they "be their age." This, he explained, meant learning the fundamentals of drawing through learning to see clearly, which is the real basis of modern painting. We must not lose whatever orjginality we may possess by too close and wearying an attention to academic de- tails at first, but try to see each com- position as a whole. Included among the Art Club's plans for the future are trips to various nearby �collections of modern paintings. These excursions will be arranged and con- ducted by Mr. McCarter. The first one will be to the La France exhibi- tion in Frankford, Pa. The Club also hopes that they may succeed in having a few exh&itions of professional work displayed[at the college. The last, but by no means the least important of the Club's plans is for a tea to be given later in the -fall for Mr. McCar- ter and the members of the History Art Department. News Competition The competition for the open 'places on the Editorial Board of The News is to be continued for another week. Those still in the running are G. Mueller, '52; M. Williams, '32, and C. Page, '30. ' It is hoped that "the second open- ing on the Board will be filled by a member of the Graduate School; this member will also be an- nounced in next week's issue. Miss Carey Talks on Senate Rules First Varsity Hockey � Game Is Disastrous Individual Integrity Is at Heart of College's Pur- pose. WANT NO DISHONESTY "It is the custom," began Miss Carey in Chapel on Tuesday, "not to say the rule of the college, to read in each- semester and at the beginning of ex- amination periods the rules of the senate about the integrity of written work. This fall Miss Park has felt that instead of reading the rules it might be wise to discuss briefly what lies behind them. One hears them so often that in their very familiarity one forgets both their meaning and their importance. "Every institution in the world, I suppose, has its rules and its own ways of enforcing them. Bryn Mawr has fewer than most, because, as Miss Park always tells the Freshman Class, it is founded on the Quaker ideal that the individual should be at the same time responsible and free. But among its most cherished traditions is its* hfgh standard in regard to integrity of work. This, I suppose, is at the heart of our purpose as a college. Without vision, says the Prophet, the people "perish; and without a clear-cut understanding of adherence to this principle a college becomes sounding brass and clanging cymbal. "The Senate rules are very simple. The source of them all can be put into one sentence; that one must never put forward as one's own, work that is someone's else. Thus, in laboratory or in wrk;.. ,r work,-w+iencm-vraterial is gathered from outside, acknowledg- ment must be made of the source of information. "As soon as this statement is ex- amined carefully, we realize that it is different from the ordinary regula- tions of a school about cheating. An important principle is involved; the fact that a college like, Bryn Mawr will tolerate no shadow of dishonesty in its work. In the pursuit of learning we are all equal; what we want is un- derstanding and knowledge. What are these worth if they are not our own? There can be no second-hand approach to wisdom, and �when we deviate from a straight forward personal attack on the material which we must either ab- sorb or present, we vitiate the whole point of our trying to get an educa- tion. Our very presence in college be- comes a hollow mockery. "You are no longer schoolgirls who, when hard pressed, try to see how many Latin verbs you can write into a book without being caught. No longer can you be content to use text- books or encyclopedias for your au- thorities and take your opinions sec- ond-hand from them. You are self- conscious, honorable members of a community of scholars, who must up- hold its standards of integrity if we are at ail to justify our existence as rational beings. Student Honor Must Enforce Rules. "It is almost impossible to force peo- ple to obey rules, unless a police sys- tem is instituted which would make in- tolerable the life of' an intelligent in- dividual. *This is as true of self-gov- ernment as it is of academic matters. Oatlaaed *a Fa�* TfcrM Varsity went down in overwhelming and unprecedented defeat, 7-0, to Main Line in the first game of the season, on Saturday, October 19. A -perfect day, blue and warm, and a riot of color, as orange and yellow tunics met against the green background of the field* made the game a pleasure to watch, although the playing itself was dis- heartening. The forward line was slow, and weak in passing and receiv- ing passes. Their stick work was un- inspiring, and no successful, dodging was done. The opponents' backs in7 deed were able to intercept the ball regularly before it reached the Bjyn Mawr Circle. Because of the superi- ority of the Main Line forwards, Var- sity was forced to a defensive game, and the brunt of the work fell on Mc- Cully and Hirschberg. The steady effectiveness of the 'former and the spectacular dodges and dribbling of the latter marked the strongest points of the Bryn Mawr team. Continued on Pace Two Banner Night Skit Proves Amusing The Fresimien wen- officially taken under the Junior wing on Banner night, Friday, October 18. The gym- nasium was comfortably filled with 1931 and 1933, while the legs of the invited 1930 and .1932 dangled from the gallery. The hall grew dark, quiet fell, and the skit was on. A most ani- mated heroine and a hero-villian-mas- ter-of-fencing entertained the company with feats of dancing and correct speech. A complicated theft of ear- rings and valuable documents ensued, and we were still at sea as to the whereabouts of the missing articles when the curtain raiig down, or, more accurately, the actors excited, under the blessing of a" five-dollar fine. After the skit followed the sacred rites of 1931 and 1933. The Freshmen marched down Senior Row accom- panied by Juniors with green lanterns. A few minutes later, a lurking "even" might have heard the strains of the Banner, Side-bv-Sidc, and class songs rise, as the athletic banner was pre- sented to the younger, class.i ' Fencing Elections held by those who fenced last y^r have resulted in the choice of A. Parkhurst as Cap- tain and L. Swift-as Manager of the sport for 1929-30. All who are interested in fencing are in- vited* to join this year's class. Liberal Club to Stress International Politics Fenwick "Reports Legal Meeting .Students of International Law will be interested to learn eS the meeting of the Iiistilut dc Droil ititernatioitatat Briar- cliff Lodge on the Hudson from October 11th until October 18th. The lust it ut is composed of the mast distinguished in- ternational lawyers in both hemispheres, and among its members are a number of judges of the World Court, as well as Foreign Ministers and Professors in the large European universities. Meeting jointly with the Institut was the Association o'f Teachers of Interna- tional Law in the United States, repre- senting all of our leading universities and colleges. Bryn Mawr was repre- sented- by the presence of Dr. Charles Fenwick, Professor of Political Science and of International Law. Dr. Fenwick reports that the gathering of jurists was the most interesting meet- ing-he had ever attended. The out- standing characteristic of both meetings was the conviction expressed on all sides that international law is passing from the old order to the new, that rivalry be- tween nations is giving way to co-opera- tion, and that it is coming to be seen that the individual interests of each state can frequently be best furthered by pro- moting the common interests of the nations at large. It is^greatly encourag- ing to find the leaders of scientific thought taking a stand which gives such promise for the future peace and pros- perity of Europe and of the world at large. Sir Cecil Hurst, the newly-elected British judge on the World Court, was prominent among the delegates, as were Coatlaaed �� Pas* Paar ' The Liberal Club is once more to be revived, and to fill the place in college which has so often been left empty. The D. A. R. have recently shown the only active interest in this Bryn Mawr organization and they gave it a strong boost to life when they placed it upon their ill-famed "blacklist." Now, we of the present Bryn Mawr generation are to see just how radical we really are, and to express ourselves in th� discussion meetings of the Club. Any undergraduate or graduate student may belong^ to the Club, and there is not even the obstacle of dues to be. over- come. One must simply give her name to H. Seligman, 10-12 Pembroke East, sometime during the current week. In this way Miss Seligman, who is presi- dent of the Club, will have some idea of the number of people who will be interested in the Club's activities throughout the year. She will be in her room every day this week betweetr 1.30 and 2 o'clock. Freshmen and Sophomores arc especially urged to hand in their names among those in- terested. There will be meetings every two weeks, and there will probably be some outside speakers in the course of the vcar. The Liberal Club, as it now stands, is^o'ne fo? the discussion of liberal ideas in national and international politics. This year, however, it is� to be hoped that the interest may be centred largely upon international affairs, and that the name of the club may even be so changed as to indicate this change of emphasis. The reason for this would be the interest of the Carnegie Founda- tion, which has promised Bryn Mawr a library of books on subjects whereof an international club might treat. . It is felt that such a change as the one suggested above would in no way limit the discussion of liberal ideals in na-. tional politics. It would, on the other hand, widen the scope of interest of the Club. Another point in favor of the shifted: emphasis- is" the very evi- dent fact that'most of'the liberal politi- cal ideas which would be considered arc international in character and ap- plication;' therefore there should be no difficulty about making the change; it would seem -to be a matter of clarified ambitions, more than anything else. To those interested, there is the pos- sibility of the-award of a scholarship, next spring, for the Geneva Summer School of Mr. Zimmern. This school is a project of the National Student Federation, and the scholarship *is awarded by the Carnegie Foundation. The person chosen will most probably be a member, of the Liberal Club group, since interest in international affairs is one of the chief prerequisites for the award. Mystic Religion Not to Be Feared Dr. Bell Emphasizes Saints as Inner Circle of The Church. SAINTS DIVINELY SANE Bach Program For Sunday Chapel On Sunday next the second of the musical services in connection with the Bryn Mawr League will be held irt the Music Room at 7.30 P. M. The music given will be devoted to the works of Bach and the program is as follows: Organ�"Bourree in D (from the 4th Orchestral SuiteO, "Air" (from the Suite in D), "Sonatina" (from the Can- tata "God's Time h Best"),. Prelude and Fugue in A Minor. The Choir will sing the following: "O'er the Cool Enameled Green" (from "Peasant Cantata"), "N'ow All the Woods Are Sleeping" (chorale a cappella), "Care and Sorrow Flee Be- for Thee (chorale with obligate for organ). Hymns for the congregation will be sung between some of the above items. Sunday chapel; October 20, was led by Dr. Bernard Iddings Bell, warden of St. Stephen's College, Columbia University. The text selected by Dr. Bell was the Thirteenth Verse in the Sixteenth Chapter of the Gospel ac- . cording to St. John: "Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth." "The quest for the meaning of one- self in terms of all there is, cannot be postponed during the years which one gives to the various pursuits in life- even to the culture of one's mind. Amusements pall as youth departs, and even one's family is bound to grow�up, while the man of scholarship becomes auspicious that what he knows is ex- tremely little in comparison with what he cannot know. The latter half of life ought, to be the better half, but that cannot be unless one has learned to tap the sources of reality deeper than the world of the flesh. This pos- sibility may be fprseen when young ji one looks on the sterility and discon- tent of older minds. Only by so tak- ing thought can we avoid the Ameri- can animalistic and rationalistic para- dise where we shall find later years in- tolerable. The day when people were satisfied with what the world offered of material rewards is not so shining now. Even the day that centered it- self upon the mind is very old-fash- ioned. But, there is no means to per- suade everyone that all Americans are enjoying themselves. "To ascertain something of the mean- ing of things and ourselves within them, is the real life. A vast number are ready for better things than ani- malism, but many people are afraid of religion. I have tried to find out what are the reasons for this hesitant attitude of mind, and I' have the high- est sympathy with the difficulties be- him them, for they were my difficulties formerly. "The first difficulty conies^ from the faet that few understand what religion j.s._abouU,�iii'1 '�*�;� Uwk -too relemi�c;;iy-*- at external appearances; its prestige is more suited to. secular exercise; its priests and prophets seem like other people, men driven by routine, a little hesitant about God and apologetic about religion. There was a time when the ecclesiastical world was a social necessity; today the secular founda- ' tions arc curtailed, and the church stands stripped to the essentials�or we think it docs�the essential vermiform appendix. The thing we must remem- ber is that there still exists that quest for life shown in the long succession of saints; the mystics preserve the life of the church; the inner circle of seek- ing has been finding God. The church is useful in spite of its unlovely shell because it is the pathway trod by those who.have given their fives to the real search of the heart of man. Religion is not being or doing good; a religious �ian tries to be good because it is a source of joy beyond all lesser joys. Religion is not a social phenomenon or an ethical system; it is living and con- ceiving contact with the spirit beypnd all things. A pulsing energy eternally creating our whole universe and us within it, such was the find of the >aint~. "The second difficulty is in believing that it is possible to arrive at know- ing, by spiritual intuitions; we are not brought up that way. Our difficulty is our defective theory of knowledge, a theory that our only true contact with things ourselves is through our five sense; as Aristole said, 'You can't think about anything unless you've first laid hold with your senses.' It is oc- cidental and scarcely more than acci- dental; were it true, religion would be Caatlaard oa Paf* Faar

text: 5 Great - just plan the set upcoorzon | 18/06/2013 | See all coorzon's reviews (1)This is great, just don't blindly follow the instalation instructions. The instructions take you straight into running the wizard which works very well and is very simple BUT the defaut IP address was (of course) different to my network, so having run it I couldn't get back to it to change the ip address or amend the default password. If you do this you can press the default factory re-set (but you really do need to hold the button for over 10 seconds). It all worked out ok in the end so I would recommend this extender - great coverage all over the house now. my recommended instalation instructions are- check your network IP address range and follow the instructions to change the extender ip address from 192.168.10.1 if that is not in your range- change default password (and username as well if you're really paranoid ( to remove "admin"))- then follow the simple wizard and it will set it up for youI have it operating as an extender as the front bedroom doesn't have a RJ 45 socket to have it as an access point. Has very much improved wifi access in the bedroom.

I left my house at 5 to get there for dinner in the city with some rec'ers & the cherry tree staffers. I got there a few minutes late but I really didnt care, i was just excited to be there. I got to see my second family again. We talked, ate, drank & laughed.

Mentor Graphics Qualifies Calibre Model-based Planarity Flow for TSMC's 65 and 40 nanometer IC Manufacturing Processes
WILSONVILLE, Ore., May 29, 2008 – Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced that its SmartFill model-based planarity flow has been qualified for TSMC's 65 and 40 nanometer (nm) processes. By reducing metal thickness variability, model based metal filling can help improve systematic and parametric yield. The SmartFill flow integrates the Calibre® CMPAnalyzer and YieldEnhancer facilities, and TSMC's DFM (design for manufacturing) data kit (DDK). The SmartFill qualification is a continuation of the DFM between Mentor Graphics and TSMC under TSMC's Active Accuracy Assurance (AAA) program.
"Making the best use of foundry data in an accurate and consistent manner with EDA partners is a goal of our AAA initiative. We envision further collaboration with Mentor Graphics as AAA expands to capture more of advanced process technologies' inherent value," said S.T. Juang, Sr. Director of Design Infrastructure Marketing, TSMC.
The Calibre CMPAnalyzer tool is the foundation of the Mentor CMP solution. CMPAnalyzer is directly linked with VCMP, TSMC's CMP simulator, to provide 3-D hotspot detection and to determine an optimum filling strategy. CMPAnalyzer then passes the appropriate information to the SmartFill function of the Calibre YieldEnhancer tool, which adds the fill elements directly into the layout design database. The combination of accurate foundry data and intelligent fill analysis improves parametric yield by reducing thickness variation that affects resistance while minimizing the capacitance added to the design. CMPAnalyzer also generates thickness values that can be incorporated into the Calibre xRC™ tool for more accurate parasitic extraction. CMPAnalyzer and YieldEnhancer are built on the Calibre nm Platform, the industry's leading physical verification platform known for delivering best-in-class performance, accuracy, and reliability.
"As we move beyond 65nm, tight linkages between EDA tools and manufacturing processes becomes more and more critical," said Joseph Sawicki, vice president and general manager, Design to Silicon Division, Mentor Graphics. "With CAA, litho process checking, and CMP tools qualified at TSMC, the Calibre physical verification platform provides a comprehensive approach to yield management at advanced process nodes."

Plastic* aims to highlight the hazards of predatory lending practices for college-aged students who are at risk for harming their credit by virtue of not knowing enough about the industry. It serves as a counter-attack to predatory practices by implementing the same tactics to teach students rather than exploit them.
Plastic* is a set of cards given out to students at the start of each year that serves as an educational tool by introducing key terminology used by creditors. The set doubles as a traditional deck of playing cards in order to act as a uniting force for students. The inks used in Plastic* react to the user's body temperature allowing layers of information to emerge from a corresponding visual. By revealing these key ideas and making the user financially literate, Plastic* protects them from the potential pitfalls of youthful spending.

Customer Reviews for Bedroom Yellow / Cream New Additions Window Shades
"beautiful high quality"
By customer
I ordered these in the Epic Crest pattern that was shown in the example. The light filtering through gives the room a nice golden glow.
View this product"keeping warm this winter"
By bon from Cleveland, Ohio
We have a large Bay Window in our home built which was in 1946. So every winter cold air comes through the glass. We have tried heavy insulated curtains and more. In searching Blinds Galore we read about the insulation properties of triple cell shades. Tried them and they work GREAT it is 10 degrees in sunny Cleveland, Ohio as I am writing this and my living is warm!!!! Great product.

On the one hand the current bill is supposed to be targeting insurance companies, which is the right target. But the bill goes way beyond simply trying to curb costs. It is filled with nasty rules that will hurt lots of people. The only way it can reduce costs is with rationing. Government programs never lower costs in the end. Replacing one form of insurance with another will not lower costs.
The real problem: Anytime you put something in between the supplier of a product and the consumer of that product which shields the costs from the consumer, you have a system that will drive costs up unbounded. And that is exactly what has happened. There is nothing wrong with the health care system, only how we pay for it. If you had to write a check for the total cost when you went to the doctor, being reimbursed later, then you would make more economical choices. If the doctors and hospitals had to tell you the costs up front then you could make an informed decision. But no one is proposing any changes in this regard. They want to replace the current fouled up insurance system with a new even more fouled up system.
The ultimate cause of the problem is that people equate health insurance with health care, so they can't see the trees for the forest. The GOV can't get away with doing the things they really should be doing, which is to get out of the health insurance business altogether. Too many special interests, with deep pockets. Health insurance is the ultimate goose that laid the golden egg and they are not going to give it up.
Companies are also partly to blame as they created the original problem to begin with, providing health insurance as an employment benefit. They should never have done that. No one is responsible for your health care but you. The system is so screwed up no one can fix it.
Who invented government provided health care? Answer, Otto Von Bismark. What a mess.

A new paint job
34 comments:
I swear we are home improvement twins right now; I'm staining/painting/glazing some battered barstools and it makes a world of difference. So does the bulletproof polyurethane for a kid-friendly household. If you need help with/supplies for a faux finish, call me. I bought a pint of tintable glaze for this project; there's no way I'll use even close to the whole thing.
... and paint that table. I'd give it, like, 8 coats of primer to make sure that motif doesn't bleed through. Ever.PAINT IT! Yes, it must've taken someone forever to do that (and well, I might add) but that style is so over it's not even funny. No guilt!
I love what you've done with your chairs. It's what I've wanted to do FOREVER but we don't have a kitchen set yet. I lived vicariously through my daughter and made her a Barbie kitchen set with different colored chairs instead. :o)
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

GeriJoy Connected Care. Nothing else like it.
It's a talking dog
The GeriJoy Companion is the modern realization of the fabled talking dog. All the availability and unconditional love of an adorable pet, combined with the ability to talk with true intelligence and compassion. It's as if it lives inside a picture frame, so you get the benefits of pet therapy without any smells, allergies, cleaning up, bites, or food and veterinary bills.
It's a personal attendant
The GeriJoy Companion has the intelligence of a real human being. Keeping it on the nightstand is like having a trusted friend there, available 24/7. It can talk with your loved one, calm them down, orient them to the time of day and scheduled activities, ask how they're doing and report back to you, or any other non-physical task.
It's a super friendly computer
The GeriJoy Companion is Internet-connected. Whatever your loved one wants to know, the companion can find out and report back. It can send and receive messages and photos between you and your loved one, also via the Internet. All this is done through the intuitive metaphor of a talking dog. Absolutely zero technical ability required.
Tim Enfinger
Scherolle Lamisere
Dr. Brad Weinberg, MD |
Jonathan Wong
Paid home caregiver
Dr. James Smith, PhD
Dr. Joseph Kvedar, MD |
The GeriJoy Companion runs as software on a variety of Android devices, such as the Google Nexus 7 tablet. Place the tablet in a convenient position such as your loved one's nightstand, and once plugged in, the companion and its virtual environment will constantly be displayed on the screen. Because the companion is not a physical robot, and has no physical constraints due to motors or sensors, what it can do within its virtual environment is practically unlimited. We continually offer free software updates that expand its capabilities and add features requested by our users.
Conversation-based intelligent interaction
Your loved one can talk with the GeriJoy Companion the same way they would talk to another person in the room. The sound is streamed over the Internet to a live GeriJoy representative, known as a Helper. The Helper uses GeriJoy's technology to create appropriate responses (e.g. saying something in reply) instantly. Thus, the GeriJoy Companion behaves with true intelligence and compassion. This makes adoption incredibly easy, no matter your loved one's physical and mental capabilities. Zero typing and zero technical skills required. Our Helpers work around the clock, allowing the GeriJoy Companion to keep your loved one company 24/7.
Touch-based pet interaction
The GeriJoy Companion has sophisticated, patent-pending software developed at MIT. This technology allows the virtual pet to interact with your loved one the same way that a live animal would. It enjoys being petted, and it responds to touch and care from your loved one in a way that creates the emotional health benefits of pet therapy. By feeding and caring for the pet over time, GeriJoy Companion owners establish a healthy sense of social responsibility.
GeriJoy makes it easy for family members to share photos and life events with their loved one. When you subscribe to GeriJoy's service, you will be able to use our Family Portal website to easily upload photos, updates, and other family content to GeriJoy. The GeriJoy Companion intuitively shows this content to your loved one throughout the week, and engages them in conversations about the content. This helps to keep older loved ones in the loop about what's going in the the family, and for people with Alzheimer's, can be very helpful in reinforcing family memories and relationships.
Information and news at any time
Your loved one can ask the GeriJoy Companion questions at any time. For example, if they want to know what activities at the care facility are being held today, or what the weather is like outside, they can ask their companion and it will tell them. These capabilities are supported by our Helpers, who look up the answers and respond appropriately. Your loved one can benefit from the information and convenience of the Internet without having any computer skills at all.
Wellness coaching and reminders
We provide easy, unintrusive reminders to take physician-prescribed medications, drink more water, eat breakfast, examine feet, etc., all tailored to fit your loved one's care plan. We work with leaders such as Stanford Hospital & Clinics, the Pace University School of Nursing, and other experts to ensure that our wellness coaching programs and the methods by which we provide care-related reminders are based on clinically validated metrics and best practices.
Personal, daily updates about your loved one
Our Helpers log the content of their conversations with your loved one, and keep track of important findings and events throughout the day, every day. Whenever you access the Family Portal, you can see these logs, giving you a personal, inside view of how your loved one is doing, even if they are living alone or in a care facility.

This is a link to the ceremony of the lighting of the National Christmas tree at the White House. It is not named the National Holiday Tree it is named the National Christmas Tree, and has been a tradition for over 90 years. We are in an era where employers are forbidding employees for saying Merry Christmas, but rather to say Happy Holidays as to not offend a few squeaky wheels.
In a time when every symbol of religion is being tested by atheists groups, here stands one that has been called the National Christmas Tree now close to a century, and also conducted by the National Park Service. Meanwhile in the State of Montana, a atheist skiing group challenges a statue of Jesus, on National Forest Land and is suing the National Park Service for its removal. It seems to me that this National Christmas Tree stands as a legal President, for its National approval, as the National Park Service holds a lottery for the attendance of the ceremony. A similar Tree also is lite at the Capitol building, called the Peoples tree. It is further funded totally by US tax dollars by a Federal Department, The Department of the Interior. The tree is toured in the name of the National Christmas trees on its journey from Missouri, to the White House.
For all the court cases against religious symbols, nativity scenes, and other religious displays, this one by name since 1924, under 15 administrations, should show the overwhelming `acceptance of the wording Christmas tree, and displaying it on the White House lawn.

POSTED: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - 12:00am
UPDATED: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - 12:04am
CNN — On December 12, some holiday cheer and goodwill will be spread to those suffering from the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
The Madison Square Garden Company, the Weinstein company and Clear Channel have partnered to throw a benefit concert, called "12-12-12," at New York's Madison Square Garden that Wednesday.
The lineup thus far includes Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Jon Bon Jovi, Kanye West, Billy Joel, The Who, Alicia Keys, and Roger Waters, with more to be announced.
The Weinstein Company's Harvey Weinstein is serving as event producer along with John Sykes and James Dolan. The three said in a statement that they expect "12-12-12" to be a "showcase of music royalty."
The one-night-only concert will benefit the Robin Hood Relief Fund in an effort to help those picking up the wreckage Sandy left behind in the tri-state area.
"The response from the entertainment community to help those most affected by Sandy has been nothing short of astounding," Dolan, Weinstein and Sykes said in the statement. "We expect to announce additional legendary performers in the near future and we are confident that the event will ensure those in need will not be forgotten, and vital aid will be directed to rebuilding our communities along the East Coast."
More details will be revealed as we inch closer to December 12, including broadcast information. Tickets will go on sale Monday, December 3, at 12 p.m. ET.

What is expat car insurance?
It is a contract where the risk of partial or total damage of the vehicle is assumed by the owner of the car due to any kind of accident. The owner of the vehicle has to pay a certain amount of money every year as premium. There are several types of car insurance in Spain depending on their risks covered and the legal requirement. And the insurance signed by a person who is not a permanent resident of that country but still resides there due to some reason or the other is known as expat vehicle insurance. Car insurance is a legal necessity in Spain.
The policy includes accident with other objects or vehicles, nasty damage by any third party, broken windows, damage to the car's upholstery, damage due to hailstorm, damage caused to any personal belongings because of the accident etc.
Benefits of expat insurance of cars
There are several benefits of expat insurance in Spain taken for the vehicles. Few of them are;
The companies offer tailored policies to meet the needs and the budget of their customers.
Special premium rates for persons over 40 years. This is a good way of retaining the senior age group clients.
Discount on the insurance of the 2nd car and also discounts on policies of other items. In this way the insurance companies try to retain their clients.
Online coverage facility which is very easy to use by the expats who are not that acquainted with the facilities of that place.
Who all are eligible for temporary insurance on cars?
Those people who have moved abroad from some other place to visit their family and friends or for sightseeing usually hire a car or borrow from their relatives. Where the person borrows the car from any of his relatives in such cases temporary car insurance is a good solution to insure the vehicle for a short tenure. Expat insurance in Spain is offered to people who have to keep visiting Spain for some reason or the other. But there is a certain age limit for attaining this temporary insurance. The cost of attaining temporary car insurance is much cheaper than hiring a car and flexible too. It is simple and easy to purchase.
Vehicle insurance in Spain
While going for any expat vehicle insurance in Spain, I was advised to take it from such a company which covers both Spanish and UK plated cars. The company has to be reputed as well and should have good experience in spanish car insurance. It is always better to purchase the insurance from such a company which has a direct sales team who will be able to solve the queries of their customers either over the phone or internet. Being an expert I was quite benefitted by taking up the coverage from a car insurance company whose specialty is dealing with expats.
Initially there were not many facilities for the expats residing in Spain, but being an expat myself what I feel is now the facilities of expat insurance in Spain are much better.

Squares of Savannah
located throughout downtown Savannah
Savannah, GA
Submitted by: Thomas Erwin
These 22 legendary, 18th and 19th century public squares were designed to be - and still are - an integral part of downtown Savannah.
Why It Works
This "noble sequence of wooded and gardened squares . . . form[s] the glory of the city" William Dean Howells wrote almost 100 years ago. The Squares are set out within a unique grid of streets and "lanes" (or alleys) that follows a pattern established by General James Oglethorpe when he founded Savannah in 1733. It is "the most intelligent grid in America, perhaps the world," says the urbanist author and architect John Massengale. Oglethorpe's plan of squares and streets for Savannah is "so exalted that it remains as one of the finest diagrams for city organization and growth in existence," claimed the Philadelphia planner and author Edmund Bacon. The American Society of Civil Engineers has designated Oglethorpes plan a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, and in 1994 the Savannah city plan was nominated by the Federal Interagency Panel to the UNESCO World Heritage List. In Savannah Oglethorpe is "hailed appropriately, as the city father, a visionary, and mentioned regularly in the public discourse, not unlike the framers of the U.S. Constitution." (Duany, Plater-Zyberk, and Speck) The Squares are the heart of the plan.
All of the Squares are about 200 feet from north to south, but they vary east to west from a maximum of over 300 feet to a minimum of little more than one hundred feet. The largest squares are thus about three times the size of the smallest.
The genius is in the details. Every square is set in the middle of a "ward," typically a nearly square rectangle of about 600 feet per side. Every square is bounded on the north by a narrow one-way street running east to west and on the south by a narrow one-way street running west to east. Typically each side of a square is intersected by a wider two-way street. The wards, themselves, are bounded on the north and south by wide east-west through streets.
". . . [T]he grid pattern of Savannah . . . is like no other we know in its fineness and its distinguishable squares. . . . [O]nce seen it is unforgettable, and it carries over into real life experience. See it . . ., in person, on the ground, and it is not difficult to draw. See it in plan, on a map, and you will recognize it on the ground," writes Allan Jacobs in Great Streets.
The Squares are now planted largely in live oaks that provide a magnificent tree cover especially appreciated in Savannah's semi-tropical climate. All squares have attractive and convenient seating, two have gazebos, and one has active recreational uses. Many have fountains and monuments at their centers. The monuments include one in Chippewa Square of Oglethorpe, himself, by the noted sculptor Daniel Chester French; one in Monterey Square honoring Count Casimir Pulaski, the Polish general who was killed leading American forces at the Siege of Savannah in 1779; and a coming monument in Franklin Square honoring Haitian volunteers who fought along with Pulaski and the Americans. A massive granite boulder in the southeast quadrant of Wright Square honors Tomochichi, the Yamacraw Mico (or chieftain) who befriended Oglethorpe and allowed him to settle.
What Makes Squares of Savannah a Great Place?
Each square can be approached from eight public rights of way: one each from the north and south and three each from the east and west. Although all downtown streets carry substantial daily traffic, there are no stoplights at any intersection surrounding any square. As Miss Harty said to John Berendt in Midnight in The Garden of Good and Evil, "the thing I like best about the squares is that cars can't cut through the middle; they must go around them. So traffic is obliged to flow at a very leisurely pace. The squares are our little oases of tranquility."
Persons walking have the right of way, and typically the broad sidewalks lining the wide streets continue across squares, so that a person can walk from square to square to square, crossing street after street without having to stop for a car. Downtown Savannah has not needed to be "pedestrianized." As Beth Reiter, Savannahs Preservation Officer, writes: "the plans ingenious flexibility has accommodated the automobile while preserving a pedestrian pace."
Because the "pace" of life is so leisurely in downtown Savannah there are many other transportation options to reach the squares besides walking and the automobile. The transit system operates a free trolley that wends its way around a number of squares, as well as offering conventional bus routes. Horse-drawn carriages and charabancs and pedicabs appeal to tourists; bikes, scooters and rollerblades, to students. In the last few years convention-goers and guests at the Westin Savannah Harbor Hotel have been able to reach the squares by a two-minute ferry ride.
Because the Squares are so accessible, they are also very visible, and as a person leaves one square another often comes into view immediately. As Allan Jacobs notes, there are 530 intersections in the square mile of Savannah's downtown, more on average than in almost any city in the world without canals. The Squares of Savannah are as accessible and linked to their surroundings as any parks in the world.
Visitors to Savannah are often stunned by their first experience of her Squares. Their reaction was well-put by the urbanist writer James Howard Kunstler: "It's an incredibly beautiful place. Savannah is like being on another planet that vaguely has US characteristics, but you're not on the same earth. It's freaky." "La plus belle ville dans l'Amerique du Nord," the most beautiful city in North America, wrote a reporter for Le Monde covering Olympic sailing events held near Savannah in 1996.
But this extraordinary beauty has been hard-earned, the result of over a century of vision, patient determination, and hard work by countless citizens. For the last 20 years the City has striven to achieve a "resort quality" appearance in the Squares - to make the "public realm" the equal of the private. The Squares have become Savannahs image in the minds of millions throughout the world. Perhaps for no other city in the world are parks so integral to its cultural identity. Like all cities Savannah has crime and poverty, but the City has committed to maintaining the safety and attractiveness of its Squares not only for tourists but for all its citizens.
Millions enjoy the Squares every year. Savannah is a city of about 140,000, yet she hosts 5.5 million visitors a year drawn by her extraordinary beauty and vitality. (1.3 million check in at the Visitors Center alone, and many thousands of Girl Scouts make pilgrimages to Savannah, the hometown of their founder, Juliette Gordon Low.) Every day thousands of tourists walk through and drive or ride around the Squares, entranced.
But Savannah is a living city and not a museum or a theme park. Every day thousands of Savannahians - downtown residents, workers and students - drive, ride, bike (or rollerblade) around the squares or crisscross them on foot on their way home, to work, to school, to play, to worship, to shop, to study, to visit, to dine, to celebrate and to mourn. They often stop to speak with friends and neighbors and some graciously field questions from tourists. As a travel writer recently wrote, Savannahians can be "achingly polite."
Because the squares are so many and so varied, they are bordered by a wide diversity of land uses, ranging from modest houses to tall office buildings. Because lots within the Oglethorpe plan are relatively shallow and are typically bounded by alleys to the rear, buildings meet the streets and squares in an urban manner, creating spacious outdoor "rooms."
The Oglethorpe plan differentiates lots to the east and west of Squares, which are larger, surrounded by public rights of way, and were originally intended for public purposes, from lots to the north and south of Squares, which are smaller and were originally intended for private use. Oglethorpe designed the squares to be public spaces surrounded by mixed uses. Today that tradition continues as institutional, governmental, residential and commercial uses blend together to create our vibrant historic district and community, writes Lise Sundrla, Executive Director of the Savannah Development and Renewal Authority. No square is surrounded exclusively by residential uses, and only a few do not have some surrounding residential uses. The current urban trend toward mixed use has been Savannahs history for 270 years.
The squares are home to a number of cultural institutions and museums, including the Telfair Museum of Art, the recently restored Lucas Theatre, and the Savannah Theatre, on the oldest theater site in continuous use in the United States. Many government buildings face squares including the Post Office, the Federal courts and other Federal agencies, and State and local offices. Private institutions on squares include the Red Cross, the International Seamens House, and the Rose of Sharon Apartments. 13 churches and synagogues adjoin squares, including the synagogue of the third oldest Jewish congregation in the United States, the largest Roman Catholic church in the Southeast, and the oldest African-American church in North America.
The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) is a private arts college that has grown to an enrollment of over 6000 students in 25 years. SCAD has restored, renovated or re-used 58 buildings in Savannah, representing an investment of more that $78 million. SCAD has made the city its campus and many of its classrooms, offices, galleries, athletic facilities and student housing adjoin squares. The many and varied activities of its students, faculty and staff add greatly to the life of the Squares.
The Squares can be rented, so weddings and wedding receptions, luncheons and other private activities take place frequently. The Citys policies and protocols keep these private uses from unduly interfering with the use and enjoyment of the Squares by the public and nearby residents. Some squares are noted for annual events, such as the Blessing of the Pets in Troup Square, and block parties and neighborhood gatherings are common.
The Squares are the scenes of public celebrations such as the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade (touted as the second largest in America), and the City routinely sponsors music ensembles in Johnson and Wright Squares where van loads of seniors, office workers and visiting girl scouts all picnic and listen under the live oak trees. But perhaps the Squares are best loved for the pleasure and enjoyment they give individuals every day.
Magnificent live oak canopies, wide brick sidewalks, inviting benches, refreshing fountains, intriguing monuments and public art, and the feeling of being in beautiful outdoor rooms produce an almost palpable sense of ease and pleasure in most of the users of Savannah's downtown squares and parks, young and old, black and white, tourist and Savannahian, alike.
A recent visitor, while people-watching in the Squares, noted, "when one looks closer . . . a picture of a true Savannah native takes shape and makes me, at least, smile. Its something in the gait . . . I can almost see in many such faces a chuckling, as if the person is remembering a recent funny experience and invoking it again in their eyes.
History & Background
The Squares inspired the legendary historic preservation movement in Savannah that has resulted in the preservation of thousands of historic buildings over the past 50 years. The destruction in 1954 of the City Market that stood on Ellis Square and the near destruction of the Isaiah Davenport house that still stands on Columbia Square catalyzed the formation of the Historic Savannah Foundation which has been Savannahs flagship preservation organization ever since. As the late Mills Lane wrote, the most enlightened preservationists are trying to restore more than buildings. They wish to restore a sense of community and of humane and civilized values in an age of bigness and speed and, too often, of loneliness, fear and conflict.
Ironically, the lease for the parking garage that replaced the City Market on Ellis Square will expire at the end of 2004, and the City has committed to reclaiming the Square for more appropriate public uses. Last year the City sponsored a remarkable public charrette to consider how Ellis Square should be used and how it should look after the parking deck is gone. The City in collaboration with SCAD has also committed to the creation of a new Elbert Square, which will occupy some of the land of the original square that was lost when the Civic Center was constructed in the early seventies.
The Squares are so beautiful and well-loved and most of the buildings surrounding them, so handsome, that the City and its citizens are determined that any new development be appropriate in scale and appearance. This determination took the form of law with passage of the Historic Preservation Ordinance of 1973 which was strengthened in 1997 when the City adopted a Manual for Development in the Historic District, clearly stating the parameters within which new development can take place.
For over 200 years, "the City's dedication to the ideals and vision of Oglethorpe [has] remained a moving force" that has led to the development of Forsyth Park, Emmet Park, and Colonial Park Cemetery within downtown itself, as well as many other "active" and "passive" parks which include a vintage minor league ballpark and a Donald Ross-designed municipal golf course. The developers of Ardsley Park, one of Savannahs most beautiful early twentieth-century neighborhoods and now part of an Historic District, deliberately copied the squares, although siting them off center of thoroughfares.
Forsyth Park lies immediately south of the Oglethorpe grid and within easy walking distance of all the Squares. Laid out as a formal city public garden, today it offers a children's playground, tennis and basketball courts and substantial playing fields for "pick-up" athletics and is often used for picnics, art shows, and concerts.
Emmet Park is a green spine stretching three blocks between Bay Street and Factors Row along Yamacraw Bluff with views across the River to the new Convention Center and offers yet another downtown oasis to visitors, workers, and residents alike.
The Oglethorpe "vision is witnessing the creation of an entirely new series of public parks," including a square surrounded by new and renovated affordable housing and a square fronting an historic African-American church adjoining public housing..
The Park and Tree Commission was established in 1896 to protect the already existing magnificent tree cover and to "assure the orderly forestation and beautification of" the city. Today the City continues to "increase its commitment and support for its urban forest . . ." Since 1996 the urban forestry staff has grown from 18 to 25, including seven certified arborists. The National Arbor Day Foundation has recognized Savannah as a Tree City USA since l985 and awarded it Tree City USA Growth Awards seven times in the last eight years.
The Squares have contributed significantly to the revitalization of Broughton Street, Savannahs principal downtown shopping street. Despite the initial successes of the historic preservation movement, Broughton Street languished as a retail center. 11 squares, however, lie within 250 feet of Broughton Street, and as the Squares stabilized and residents returned, the City began a concerted and aggressive effort to bring back its "Main Street." Today Broughton Street attracts national retailers such as the Gap, Banana Republic, Starbucks, and Birkenstock, while attracting new local retailers and retaining long-time businesses, such as Levy Jewelers and the Globe Shoe Company, which have been on the street for over 100 years. Since 2000, 210 new businesses, 860 new jobs and more than $103.8 million in private investment have occurred within the Broughton Street Urban Redevelopment Area and the adjacent MLK and Montgomery Street Corridor, the city's historic center for the African-American community.
As Savannahs tourism burgeoned over the past two decades, many came to believe that a new convention center was needed. By then no one wanted to propose any downtown site that would adversely affect the Historic District or any of the remaining Squares. The solution was the new Savannah International Trade and Convention Center and Westin Savannah Harbor Hotel which have been constructed on Hutchinson Island across the Savannah River from the Savannah waterfront.
"More than a quarter millennium has passed since the passengers from the Good Ship Anne waited in the cold damp February air while Oglethorpe laid out the streets and squares which are still the essence of Savannah. Without the plan, little that is admirable about this city could have occurred . . [T]he Squares are the sine qua non of Savannah Style; social life, the economic heart of the area, the religious and artistic endeavors, even the political and justice systems all are intimately enmeshed in the little green parks that simultaneously separate and bring together the community." Chan Sieg
Savannah can continue to claim (with a bow to Auden) that her squares are
Her North, her South, her East and West,
Her working week and her Sunday rest,
Her noon, her midnight, her talk, her song.
