Old Leaf Takes New Turn As Danville Warehouse Reopens
- Last Updated on 07:42 AM 07/19/10
- BY Staff
Piedmont Warehouse in Danville will open for the sale of flue-cured baled tobacco on Monday, Aug. 16, former tobacco auction warehouse operators Harry Lea and Jim Eggleston announced Friday.
The reopening of the former Piedmont Warehouse, located at 301 Trade St. in Danville, marks the first time tobacco will be sold in the warehouse since 1971.
The warehouse was leased for 38 years to Corning, Inc.
The tobacco auction system, which lasted for over a century, was replaced in 2000 with contracts agreed upon by growers and their respective receiving stations.
This current situation allows growers no opportunity to market excess tobacco.
The rejuvenation of Piedmont will allow growers an alternative opportunity in a collective setting whereby growers and buyers can meet, said Lea and Eggleston when making the announcement.
Baled tobacco will be received, weighed, USDA graded and moisture tested.
Tobacco will be received by appointment Monday through Wednesday.
Tobacco will be separated into lots based on stalk position and quality. On Thursday of each week, buyers will be invited to inspect and submit sealed bids. At the end of these days, the bids are opened and both the seller and buyer notified of the results. The grower can accept or reject the bid, the owners explained.
The grower may offer tobacco on three occasions. If there is no sale after the third offering, the grower must remove their tobacco from the warehouse. Both the seller and buyer will pay a fee to the warehouse, they said.
All transactions are confidential, warehouse owners said, reminding growers that tobacco is processed according to stalk position.
Prices weaken considerably for primings, lugs and cutters after the second week of September, the owners added.

DOVER, Del.- When Kristen Williams tries to cross Route 13 in north Dover, she is met with a "don't walk" light that always says it is not time to cross and cars that do not want to let her go by.
"Anytime when you want to hit the button and cross, there's cars that still come around and they look at you like, 'Can you hurry up?' They don't really care," she said.
And she isn't the only one afraid to cross.
"It's almost paralyzing just thinking about walking across that street," said Ralph Robinson with Delaware State University's counseling services.
Now, DSU is partnering with the Delaware Department of Transportation to come up with a plan to make the area of Route 13, in front of the school, safer. The options range from $150,000 in intersection improvements to a $4.5 million pedestrian overpass.
"I see a lot of people running across the street but I don't feel like that much money is needed to make a crosswalk," Brittany Dickinson said.
But Robinson wants the school to consider every option, no matter the cost.
"I'm not sure where the funding is going to come from for this project but I would say they need to consider the safety, factor number 1."

New Haven, Conn. - Holy Family University women's basketball senior Erin Mann (West Chester, Pa./Villa Maria Academy) was named the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Women's Basketball Player of the Week for the week ending Nov. 18 as announced by the conference office Monday afternoon.
This marks the third time in her career that Mann has received CACC Player of the Week accolades.
Mann led Holy Family to a pair of non-conference home victories this past week as the Tigers defeated East Stroudsburg University, 53-47, on Wednesday and then capped the week with a 67-48 victory over Queens College on Saturday.
Against East Stroudsburg, Mann recorded her second double-double of the season with a 17-point and 14-rebound performance. She converted 9-of-10 from the free throw line and recorded two blocks and two steals on the defensive end.
She highlighted the week leading Holy Family with 24 points versus Queens. Mann shot 9-of-13 from the field and 6-of-8 from the free throw line. She also tallied six rebounds, three blocks and one steal.
For the week, Mann averaged 20.5 points, 10.0 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. She also finished the week shooting 15-of-18 from the free throw line.
Holy Family (2-1), ranked 12th in the preseason USA Today/ESPN NCAA Division II National Top-25 Coaches' Poll, will host Wilmington University tomorrow night in the first conference contest of the season. Game time is slated for 6 p.m.

Genius Unlimited by John T. Phillifent
published in 1972
where I got it: purchased used.
Hitting up the used bookstores is much more fun with a friend in tow. Otherwise how would my friend have had the opportunity to recommend John T. Phillifent's Genius Unlimited to me? A what a fun and entertaining book!
Interstellar Agents Rex Sixx and Roger Lowry always get the crap jobs, the gigs that no one else wants. This new bodyguarding assignment seems like a cakewalk, so why did it fall in their laps? This should be as easy as the furlough they just came off of. The secretive colony of Iskola has asked for assistance and consulting, and all Sixx and Lowry need to do is get special agent investigator Louise Latham to Iskola on the planet Martas, make sure no harm comes to her while she is consulting with the Iskolans, and bring her home. What could possibly go wrong?
To start with, Miss Latham isn't your average investigator and Iskola isn't your average colony. But at least Sixx and Lowry already know a little about Iskola. A private island colony, the only way to gain residency is to pass a battery of tests and prove you are a genius. Privacy is a very big deal there, and no one seems to be sure exactly what happens on the island other than genius residents solving problems and minding their own business. Iskola brings in an income by consulting on large problems, such as the recent one of erosion and soil degradation on the mainland continent. That one in particular was a disaster, because the agricultural experts on the mainland weren't interested in being told that their slash and burn methods of deforestation had destroyed the thin layer of topsoil. Even a genius can't be telling an expert how to do their own job, now can they?
Rising Stars by Arthur Byron Cover (based on the graphic novel by J. Michael Straczyinski
published in 2002
where I got it: purchased used
Every so often we all need a fluff read. You know, something that will entertain you without challenging you? Fluff reads for me are usually media tie-ins, and the best kind of fluff read is a direct novelization of a comic book or movie that I liked.
A few years ago I read J. Michael Straczynski's Rising Stars graphic novels, and loved them. I don't usually go for superhero stories, but Straczynski is alittle like Whedon for me – if he writes it, I am probably going to like it no matter what the subject matter was.
The novelizations of the graphic novels are by Arthur Byron Cover, but like the artists of the graphic novels, Straczynski's story and backstory are the star of the show. It's a little sad, actually, that I had no idea from reading this if Cover is a good author or not. But again, that's the nice thing about really fluff novelizations – I don't need to worry about if the author is any good or not. Cover does flesh out the world building and a lot of the character background, which I appreciated. For example, we get much more information about the political situation of the country in the late 1960s, far more time is spent follow the children during the 1970s, and characters get more inner monologue and depth.
In the late 1960's, a meteor crashed to earth, exploding over a small midwestern town. No one thought anything of it, until a few years later. You see, all the children who were in utero at the time of the meteor were imbued with special powers. Some kids could fly, some kids were invulnerable, some kids had telepathic powers. One hundred and thirteen Special children, all who could do something different. Or least, mostly. Some children who were born right on time never manifested anything. Who knows, maybe there wasn't enough special powers to go around? The government descends on the town to study the children, and keeps them at a local summer camp turned boarding school.
I really liked the dynamic of that these children gained superpowers simply by being in the wrong place and the wrong time. None of them have any of the classic or expected comic book superhero youth stories. None of these kids are orphans, none of them are wealthy heirs, none of them are aliens or anything. Their parents and their older siblings and their neighborhood was completely normal. But these kids are Specials. As the kids manifest and develop their powers, the government needs to ensure the Specials use their powers for the good of the country. But who decides what's good?
The Company Man, by Robert Jackson Bennett

where I got it: received ARC from the publisher
In an alternate early 1900s, in an amazing metropolis in the Pacific Northwest, a new industrial revolution has begun. In Evesden, The McNaughton Corporation holds patents for the most amazing technologies, everything from airships to subterannean trolleyways, to telecommunications. The Corporation holds their secrets dear, and at times has held the world hostage, and that same world flocks to Evesden and the McNaughton Corporation with dreams of a better life and a career with the company that is reinventing the world.
Found in an Indian prison and given a life of luxury in Evesden is McNaughton's most valuable employee, a Mr Cyril Hayes. Hayes works from the shadows, making the corporations problems disappear. He spies, he blackmails, he knows better than to ask questions of his superiors, and they know better than to try to keep him out of the opium dens or to let on that they know he shares information with the cops.
Hayes' newest assignment comes with an assistant, the young and sheltered Samantha Fairbanks. She's his secretary, but she's also supposed to keep him under control and out of trouble. Their mission is to interview employees suspected of Union organization. No arrests, no threats, no mention of Unions, just talk about how everything has been going lately. Hayes sits in on the interviews, but he isn't really listening. At least, not with his ears. There's a reason Hays lives alone in a giant warehouse, there's a reason he's anti-social, there's a reason he escapes into hazes of opium and alcohol. The longer Hayes spends with someone, the more the person's thoughts invade his mind. It becomes easier and easier for Hayes to talk like that person, act and walk like that person, become that person's new best friend, their confidant, their confessor. Hayes can count on one hand the number of people who know about his ability.
the way people react to Hayes when they find out what he can do gave certain scenes almost and X-Men type feeling for me. Hayes closest friend Inspector Garvey is completely accepting of the fact that Hayes can "read minds", while Hayes' supervisor refuses to be close quarters with him for more than a few minutes. Others respond with anger, disgust and fear. There's a point where in the eyes of the company Hayes ceases to be an employee, and becomes a thing, a tool, a weapon, a closely guarded and dangerous secret. The saddest thing, is that he knows it.

Struggling actress Cassie Casey has just met the man of her dreams. Well, men, actually. First she meets handsome Gideon Chase, who hires her to help him spy on the mysterious and wealthy Bill Reis. In return for her help, Gideon will make Cassie a star of stage and screen. When Cassie eventually meets Bill, she instantly dislikes him, more-so as he showers her with attention and expensive gifts.
An Evil Guest is one of the strangest books I've ever read. As expected with a Wolfe, we are given some vague hints early on – the story takes place in the future, Gideon might be working for the Government, we've met another intelligent race on another planet and in some areas (but not all), their science is ahead of ours, but in general life seems to be going on as normal on planet Earth.
The story is told nearly one hundred percent through dialog, conversations between Cassie and either Gideon or Bill Reis, conversations between Cassie and the other members of the theatre company. Entire chapters are nothing by dialog. The scenery, the world building, it's all very shadowy. At times I felt like I was listening to a radio play, where the sound effects for a thunderstorm are made with a rain stick and a thin sheet of metal.
Jhegaala, by Steven Brust
Posted September 5, 2012on:
published in 2008
where I got it: had an ARC from way back when
On the run from the Jhereg, Vlad needs to lay low for a while, preferably outside the Empire. Conveniently, he's always meant to visit the country his mother is from, and there's no time like the present, right? Vlad knows his mother's maiden name and the village she came from, and that's about it. With the help of a few spells and charms, no one will be able to find him, provided he's able to avoid using witchcraft until the trouble back home blows over, if it ever blows over. And who needs witchcraft when you've got two jhereg familiars on your shoulders, right?
Jhegaala is The 11th book (chronologically the 8th) in Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos series. If you're a beginner in this series, you're probably best off starting here. Already read a few Vlad books? go ahead and dive into Jhegaala, but know that it's quite a bit different than the previous stories. For one, it takes place completely outside the Empire, and is more of a hard boiled detective story.
In a paper-making village in the eastern Kingdoms, Vlad is completely and utterly surrounded by his own kind, and he's completely and utterly out of his element. Even worse, he's an ex-assassin, with the habits that tend to come with the job, including rampant paranoia, unbridled suspicion of everyone and everything, and carrying unconcealed weapons.
Clockwork Phoenix (anthology) Volume 3, edited by Mike Allen
published in 2010
where I got it: gift from a friend (and she got it autographed for me!!)
This is Mike Allen's third volume of beautiful and strange short fiction. In previous volumes, he showcased new works by authors such as Mary Robinette Kowal, Saladin Ahmed, Catherynne M. Valente, and Tanith Lee. And volume three continues in this vein, offering an intriguing collection of short fiction by well known authors such as John C. Wright, Cat Rambo, Gemma Files and Marie Brennan, along with works by lesser known folks that I am thrilled to have gotten to know a little better. The theme to these anthologies is "tales of beauty and strangeness", and Allen has certainly chosen works that match that description. Thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, we can look forward to a fourth volume of beauty and strangeness, the surreal and the fantastic.
Anthologies tend to run hot and cold for me. It's like buying an album (did I just date myself?). You buy the album for one song, and hope the rest of it doesn't suck. I'm the same way with anthologies. Out of the fifteen short stories, maybe 3 of them were just okay for me. And the rest? The rest were pure winners.
In no particular order, here are my thoughts on a handful of my favorite short stories in the collection:
Murder in Metachronopolis, by John C. Wright – one of the longer works, and purposely presented in an unusual way. Jake Frontino has been brought to the city outside of time, Metachronopolis, the city of the Masters of Time, to work for them as a Private Investigator. They've sent him through time on missions to stop terrible things before they happen – to kill the mothers of dictators, to foil marriages and stop meetings from taking place. The Masters of Time supposedly have no enemies, but Jake has met those enemies, been party to their plans for a coup. The story is written in numbered portions, so the reader immediately knows we are not getting the story in chronological order, we are not getting "the truth" in the right order. And you know what I did the moment I finished this story? I read it again, flipping the pages back and forth so that with the help of the section numbers I could read it in chronological order, in the order that things happened to Jake. And it was a completely different story. I love it when that happens, when I can experience the same story in a completely new light.
The Gospel of Nachash by Marie Brennan – This is a retelling of the story of the Garden of Eden. I'm a sucker for any kind of old testament mythology, so this tale was right up my alley. Among its other twists, is the story of the Expulsion is told from the serpent's point of view. The serpent, Nachash, was also a creation of God, was also in the garden for a specific reason. Nachash and God's Daughter watch Adam and Chava's lives after the garden, and they witness the birth of Chava's two sons. How will this tiny mortal family populate the earth, with no other women? God's Daughter has a plan, and Nachash is at the center of it. But that's not the twist, oh no, Brennan's got an ever better trick up her sleeve.
Orca, by Steven Brust
Posted July 23, 2012on:
Orca, by Steven Brust (book 7 in the Vlad Taltos series)
written in 1996
where I got it: purchased used
I am slowly making my way randomly up to Steven Brust's latest novel, Tiassa. I own about a half dozen book in this series, have already reviewed a few of them, and feel the urge to reread what I can before diving into Tiassa.
Steven Brust is probably the author who got me into fantasy all those years ago. Seriously. I was once a hard core "Scif and only scifi!!" reader, and hubby put a copy of The Book of Jhereg (reviewed here ) in my hands and said I probably wouldn't like it because it was about an assassin who didn't like his job, but was incredibly good at it. 20 pages later, I was a fan. by the end of the book I was addicted. The series follows the adult life of one Vlad Taltos, easterner, witch, assassin, and lover of good cooking who has found himself away from his own kind and living in the Dragaeran Empire. His episodic adventures allow readers to jump around in the series, and as most of the novels weren't written chronologically, there is much discussion between fans regarding the order in which these books should be read. Some titles are sadly becoming hard to find, so I read them in whatever order I can find them.
The short novel Orca seems to take place around the middle, chronologically. For readers new to Steven Brust, this book probably isn't a good starting point due to some major plot line revelations right at the end, and I suggest starting with any of the first 4 books that were written: Jhereg, Taltos, Yendi, or Tekla. Ahh, but for those of you who are already into this series? What a treat Orca is!
Orca differs from the earlier books in the series in that it doesn't take place in Dragaera City, and we get points of view other than Vlad's. Also, Steven Brust can see the future. Observe:
As usual, the story opens because Vlad is in more trouble than he alone can handle. From a previous adventure, he has collected a young boy who suffered a traumatic event and has become somewhat catatonic. Hoping to avoid the authorities and explanations, Vlad's only option to help the boy is to find a hedge wizard or sorcerer who won't ask questions. And he does. She lives in a hideous blue cottage (yes really. The characters take turns describing it as such, and it becomes a very funny in-joke), and is about to lose her home to a property management organization that is cancelling her property lease. Their agreement is she will attempt to help the boy if Vlad attempts to help her keep her property.
With the help of his thief friend Kiera, Vlad begins his investigation.
The man who owns the property management organization, along with a few dozen other small businesses that may or may not actually exist? He's dead, possibly murder, possibly not. His other businesses? shut down. The banks he borrowed obscene quantities of money from to run said possibly non-existent businesses? Closing their doors, cancelling the savings of senior citizens, and generally leaving town like the place is on fire.
Many of the hints Vlad and Kiera uncover lead in opposite directions, and if that old lady is going to keep her horribly ugly cottage, two thieves (along with Vlad's ever helpful familiars Loiosh and Rocza) will need to figure out why banks and other lending institutions keep breaking the laws, and why the government of the Empire seems to be covering up for them in such a convoluted way. Orca was written in 1996, but much of this sounds strangely familiar.
The chapters switch back and forth between Vlad and Kiera's points of view. As I'm so used to only Vlad's point of view, that took some getting used to for me. But I'm happy Brust put the story together that way, as it was invaluable to see how Kiera and some of the other Dragaerans view Vlad, a short lived foreigner. Also, there are a few letters and conversations between Kiera and Vlad's estranged wife Cawti, which I highly enjoyed as well.
Don't expect much in the way action or intrigue or fight scenes or the like in Orca. it's not that kind of book. It's a convoluted literary mystery, with character revelations, emotional discussions on morality, and much left unsaid. I can only hope that while Brust was writing this, that he had as big of a crooked smile on his face as I did when I was reading it. Yes, this is some mightily serious stuff, but so cleverly presented that you can't help but smile.
I can't get enough of Brust's sly humor, of his subtle dialog, of his characters who say more in a raised eyebrow while puttering about preparing dinner than some other characters say in an entire novel. Vlad may not say it outloud, but he cares deeply for the people he loves, and puts his life on the line more than once for them. For a tough guy, he sure makes me cry a lot. And that's the point: when it comes down to it, Vlad isn't just an assassin. He isn't just a witch. he isn't just an easterner. He's just a guy. Just a guy who is still madly in love with his estranged wife, he doesn't know how to fix things with her, he doesn't know how he got to this point in his life, and all he knows how to do is move forward, one step at a time, one day at a time, one mistake at a time. And should he lose his way, no doubt Loiosh will say "hey idiot, we're lost".
If you've never read any Brust, I can't recommend him highly enough. The more I read of him, the I want to read more of him.
Summer anime watching
Posted July 6, 2012on:

A lot of anime gets watched in this house. 300 channels of cable TV, and I'd rather watch Crunchyroll. I got hooked on anime when I was in high school, watched a boatload through my early to mid 20s, and although in my late 20s I got out of it, the hubs has been watching a ton recently and been getting me hooked again.
Here's what he's been watching the most of lately, and I've been enjoying these too – Gosick, Mysterious Girlfriend X, and Hyouka. He's seen every available episode of the shows mentioned, where I have probably seen half the episodes. The words below are his.
Gosick- this came out a year or so ago, and it advertises itself as a mystery solving anime, but it's really a character study and a romance, possibly one of the best romances ever seen in an anime story. It does everything right, successfully combining action, adventure, romance, and situation comedy. A refreshing way to present a story, as so many anime are so focused on just action, or just comedy, or just romance, or just slice of life, etc. Although many animes genremash, very few offer such a good blend of, for lack of a better phrase, storytelling methods.
Taking place in the 1920s, the story starts when Kujo goes to a small fictitious European country to study at a private school. He's the 3rd child of a fairly wealthy Japanese family, and he experiences some prejudice against Asians while in his new city. In his boredom, he explores some unused buildings in the school, and meets Victorique. Tiny of stature but large in attitude, to tell you much more about her would spoil the major, and most fascinating part of the story.

If this had been published today, I'm sure it would have started a frenzy of golem-punk stories. And who isn't fascinated by the idea of golems? A non-person who exists for a fixed amount of time to do your bidding, and then melts away when they are no longer needed. The perfect solution to jobs that are too dangerous or tedious for humans, Dittos are certainly a sort of salvation.
In the near future described in Kiln People, technological advances are in the arena of the weighing and measuring of the human soul. "Ditto-ing" yourself has become so mainstream that many families have a private kiln and storage unit for clay blanks that are delivered daily. Simply lie down on the copier with your head between the tendrils, and a few minutes later a clay "you" sits up from the other table, ready to do manual labor, run errands, run your business, attend your classes, do your homework, or a myriad of other activities you might do during your day. The golem may be clay, but it's still you. A you with your memories, your soul, your voice, and your mind. At the end of the day hopefully you return home to yourself for inloading, so the original flesh and blood you can get the memories your golem collected during the day.
Color coded to denote internal quality, golem society has it's own stratified classist attitudes. Designed to only last 24 hours, if the golem can't get home to inload at the end of the day, it reflexively seeks out a public recycling dumpster, to return to that which it was. The society Brin has created is incredibly fascinating, and was probably my favorite part of the book.
Cast in Shadow, by Michelle Sagara
Published in 2006
Where I got it: purchased used
A little bit Steven Brust, a little bit Ben Aaronovitch, Cast in Shadow is a dark fantasy mystery with police procedural scenery. Even magical realms require law and police, and the city of Elantra is no different. The three branches of law are the Hawks, the Wolves and the Swords, and young Kaylin is so very proud of having grown up to be a Hawk. She is proof that one can come from a very dark place to grow up and lead a life of light.
Kaylin isn't young per se, but as humans are the most short lived race on this world, all the non-humans around her see her as a child, and treat her as one. Exposed to magic as a young child, Kaylin will go to great lengths to hide the strange tattoos on her arms and legs.
The magic of the world isn't fully explained, but we know Kaylin is a healer, and that healing magic is very rare. She's late to work because she spends her nights healing in the orphanages and birthing caves. Once upon a time there was someone she couldn't save, and she can't bear to see that happen again.
When the killings start again, and the children's tiny mutilated bodies are found with tattoos that nearly match Kaylin's, all eyes are on her. She's marked, but no one knows by who, and what for. Partnered up with a man from her past and a mysterious Dragon Lord, Kaylin is went back to the fief that defined her childhood to investigate. She'll have to face every fear and every truth she's been spending her entire adulthood avoiding.

Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I'm one of them.
I just read these lines yesterday and underlined them to post. Good timing. Ray Bradbury is one of my absolute favorites. What a man.
brown. round. boi.: [15+ things I wish i knew in college] broke-ass qtpoc from an immigrant household (the REMIX).
15. fuck the word "uppity." you do not have to choose any
community over the other, academic, of color, queer, political,
mixed, poor, transgender, from the hood. if possible, embrace &
let them all live, inform, and complicate one another.
14. odds are you will be forced to study mostly white, straight, skinny, cisgender, european/anglo, possibly rich people's discourse. read it to read it, to unlearn it. find the work that really calls your skill and passions.
14.5 when a friend of privilege calls you or intros you as their
_______ [insert race, ethnicity, sexuality, identity here], back fist them.
no wait, don't. hmmm, well maybe. no, don't. talk it out & if that
doesn't work out, dump them.
13. take advantage of the fancy gym membership if you can.
12. all the "free" food in the cafeteria isn't really free. it's actually
money you are going to owe well beyond your diploma plus interest
and by then, you'll actually need real free food.
11. you may wake up late to your classes because you've shacked
up with a new lover. don't forget that the diploma will probably
lead you to better lovers. studying before sex.
11.99 always practice safer sex: communication, consent, gloves,
dams, condoms, etc.
10. as professors look to you to speak for your entire people
(queer, people of color, asian, people with disabilities, etc.), clench your jaw the way you do to a fist. anything you say here will be misinterpreted. any response you have is genuine.
9. when you feel uncomfortable/unsafe in either bathroom options
"mens" or "womens" find your nearest GSA or supportive faculty and peers. let them listen to you. what you can you do to make the campus more transgender-empowered.
8. when your dorm roommate shops at bloomingdales, barney's & co,
and gets upset when her dad gets her the hunter green range rover
instead of black (like she requested). don't show that you add up
the total she's spent on how that would pay your family's food,
mortgage, how your family/friends don't make that much in
annual salary. don't workshop her, you aren't paid for it and you
both will just end up staring blankly at one another which will
prove awkward when you will both be sharing the same closet,
sleeping, and eating space.
7. if a classmate in your composition & rhetoric class
says, they shouldn't live in the u.s. if they don't speak english.
run to your homeland tongue(s), read poetry only in this language
for an hour, appreciate it's curve and girth. go back to your
neighborhood if you can and hear the languages that you grew up
with—- in the market, at church, over a table of dominoes or majong.
6.32 there is a possibility that a classmate or roommate may
confuse you as the help or as a foreign exchange student.
kindly step away and do your homework. tell them off only if you
won't let it rot you.
6.18 you are brilliant and you deserve to be here. let no one question that.
6. your final transcript will not say: grandpa died your freshman year,
hence the incomplete; your girlfriend is abusive and hits you, hence
the tardiness; you will be considered a hero and a traitor to your
family for being educated and for being educated.
5.60 take crying breaks. they help, honest.
5. don't sign-up for any credit cards.
4.75 take care of yourself financially, holistically, emotionally, and spiritually. ALL are critical for your moving beyond survival, but joyous action.
4. when the liberal gay white people tell you to just come out to your family, understand they have no idea what is going on in your
life or how your race/ethnicity/cultures are so different. find other
queer people of color and allies (if they exist where you are) to
support you.
3.76 there may be a moment when white people—straight and LGBTQGNC will exotify you under the guise of being "radical." ignore them at all costs but be civil. they are dangerous.
3. you are brilliant and you deserve to be here. let no one question that.
2.29 somewhere there is a mentor, an organization, a department,
a club that thinks you are amazing. keep them in your life for as
long as you can. they will have your back.
2. grades are the paper of it and you need the grades to play the game.
get good grades, but seek communities committed to work that you
are curious about or committed to.
1. this is a system meant to destroy you. you may lose some of
yourself in the process. understand that is the sacrifice and that
you will re-build some of yourself too. promise.
Too amazing and true to not reblog. As someone who went to an overwhelmingly white/privileged/cisgender private university, this would have helped me a lot back in the day.
I found this very interesting and lovely. I have but one small qualm (mostly because I can't speak personally to a lot of these things). That said, better advice would be TO sign up for a credit card, but to use it wisely, carefully, and knowledgeably. The earlier you can start building credit, the better; your score comes in part from how long your oldest credit account has been open. Of course, it also counts whether you pay it on time, whether you pay off your balances, etc. So open one, but do it with your brain and not with your desire for material things. I can't tell you how many of my friends are now in their late 20s or early 30s, have never had a credit card, and have trouble buying the car or house they deserve (and have worked so hard for) as a result of "immature" credit ratings.
Other than that… rock on.
I've never participated in this before, but here goes:
1. cleanandsolid - my darling partner and his things that he makes.
2. à la garconnière - awesome lady whom I only know online, but what I know is great.
3. bookshelfporn - exactly what it sounds like… heaven.
4. fabulousandeccentric - also exactly what it sounds like.
5. hootsandhellmouth - my best friends' band.

Kettering chairman says Rolls takeover reports are inaccurate
9:08am Wednesday 8th February 2012 in Sport By Adam Summers
IMRAAN Ladak has described reports naming George Rolls as Kettering Town's new investor as "inaccurate".
Rolls, whose wife Amanda owns the majority shareholding in Weymouth FC, admitted last month to having held talks with the Pop-pies' chairman but insisted that "no takeover of the troubled club was ever going to materialise".
Despite that admission, speculation linking the Cambridge-based businessman with the Conference club has failed to cease with Ladak the latest player in the ongoing saga to play down the rumours.
The Kettering chief said: "Clearly there has been a lot of speculation but the reports that appeared on Sunday contained a lot of inaccuracies, which was disappointing."
Rolls responded to those reports by claiming his family has no intentions of leaving Weymouth any time soon.
He is also understood to have told Terras' director Nigel Biddlecombe that he is not looking to buy Kettering.
Meanwhile, on the pitch, Weymouth drew 2-2 with Portland United in a friendly at the Bob Lucas Stadium last night.
Ollie Tribe netted at both ends and trialist Mark Ford was also on target as the Terras came from behind twice after Callum Ross-Jennins had given the Blues a half-time lead.
Weymouth boss Brendon King said: "James Coutts got 90 minutes under his belt and Ben Joyce and Mark Ford both looked lively – it was a good workout and a decent display."

It wasn't love at first sight for me with Swarovski Crystals. But they have been growing on me in a serious way! My cousin made me earrings with amethyst crystals and I LOVE them! Simple hoops with just the right enough bling for me. So I would have to say I love the colors these beauties come in!

---- — With no air conditioning in his room, Dan Lasko, 22, of Derry has an unusual way of fighting the heat.
"Sometimes you just have to put your head in the freezer for a few seconds," he said.
Lasko was one of many looking for cooler places yesterday as temperatures rose above 90 degrees for the second consecutive day.
Meteorologists are telling people to get used to the steamy weather.
"It's going to be pretty similar through the weekend," said Joe Simpson, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Taunton. "It won't cool down until Monday, when it will dip back into the 80s."
While Simpson said many focus on the temperature, the heat index is the number meteorologists care about in hot and humid weather.
"That's how the temperature feels to the body," he said. "That number could be close to 100 degrees."
Dan St. Jean, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine, said not only will it be hot, but there won't be much rain either.
"There will be isolated thunderstorms, but we don't expect many," he said. "The scattered late afternoon thunderstorms we've been seeing will likely return next week."
Today is the third consecutive day for which the National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory.
The combination of high temperatures and high humidity result in conditions in which heat illness is possible.
Temperatures today are expected to reach well into the 90s throughout most of the region. Combine that with the high humidity ad you get a heat index value at or just above 100 degrees this afternoon.
The average temperature at this time would be in the low 80s, Ryan Breton of Atkinsonweather.com said, making this spell 10 to 15 degrees above that. It came out of nowhere, Breton.
Some towns and cities opened up buildings for people to get a reprieve from the heat. Others are taking a wait-and-see approach.
In Plaistow, a cooling station was set up at the library and will be open again today for people to cool off.
"We have air conditioning here," Town Manager Sean Fitzgerald said. "People are encouraged to sit by the computer or grab a book and stay cool."
Fitzgerald said there would be bottled water available at the library. Cooling hours were scheduled for 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. today.
Haverhill opened up the Citizens Center yesterday on Welcome Street for those seeking relief. It will be open today from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
"Anyone looking for a cool place is encouraged to call the police after those hours," said Linda Koutoulas, administrative assistant for Mayor James Fiorentini.
Methuen fire officials said heat-related medical calls have been light.
"There has not been an excessive number, nothing major," Deputy fire Chief Charles Ripley said.
To avoid heat-related issues, Ripley recommended people stay hydrated and avoid caffeinated or alcoholic beverages. Stay in the shade, he said, and avoid strenuous physical activity during the hottest part of the day.
Cooling stations had not been set up in town, but Forest Lake, which had been closed for bacterial testing, was deemed safe and reopened to the public Thursday.
Cahla Ahlstrom, program coordinator at the North Andover Senior Center, said she was expecting more people to come in yesterday.
"We really have a limited attendance," she said. "It could be because of the holiday, but there isn't a lot of foot traffic here."
In Derry, people took the opportunity to get out of their houses and relax by the beach near Hood Park.
"We don't have air conditioning," said Adam Lee, 29, of Derry. "Just had to make sure we got in some water."
Robin Gile of Londonderry also had a plan for the hot weather.
"Drink water, put on sunscreen, and lots of popsicles," she said.
Melinda Mafera, facility supervisor at Hood Park, said there was plenty of traffic at the beach yesterday.
"We have shade and water," she said. "That's what people are looking for."
Douglas Moser and Mike LaBella contributed to this report.

The new Dry The River is a keeper - the album is "Shallow Bed" and it's on Elvis' old label, RCA. The ethereal vocals of Peter Liddle will get your attention and even maybe get you lucky should you play this one down low after making it home hopeful, not alone after drinking to the point where you're on the verge of becoming a sanitation problem. Anyway, this is sort of Mumford & Sons lite with happening three part harmonies but it's all a bit serious and stuffy. If I was still grading philosophy papers at VC, the cliche of choice for this band would be "on the right track."
Results tagged "RCA Records" from Rockin' Roll Call
The latest from Pink is "The Truth About Love" and it's on RCA Records. Her booming voice commands every song - most are relentlessly upbeat as she flutters between snarky, bitchy, bouncy and funny. That most famous example of lazy red since the black-billed, long necked bird and Homer Simpson's car, Pink is a Grammy winner, and a world famous rock star and judging by this one - her sixth - she's on top of her game. The cool bluesy riff from the potent, "How Come You're Not Here," is dedicated to the herds of male groupies who would be more than happy to drink swamp water and sleep in a hollow log just to hear her whisper, "Beat it sucker." On "Slut Like You," Pink admits that even rock goddesses don't always get lucky as she wakes up hung over and alone - we suspect that's an aberration because despite the GOP's narrow dastardly view of the world, women decide. Pink's great.
He is the tall guy lurking in the back of all the local rock shows.

Cyclist knocks down woman at Basingstoke bus station
10:41am Friday 25th January 2013 in News By Chris Gregory, Senior Reporter
A CYCLIST knocked a woman to the ground as she waited for a bus in Basingstoke.
The incident took place as the 62-year-old woman stood at stand F at Basingstoke bus station, at around 5pm on Monday, January 21.
The cyclist, said to be riding at speed through the station, collided with the woman from behind, and rode off.
The woman sustained injuries to her leg and head. She did not see the cyclist's face but believes it was a man.
PC Will Butcher said: "The bus station would have been very busy at that time of day and I am aware that a number of people did see what happened.
"I am very keen to speak to these people to ascertain what they saw."
Anyone with information can contact PC Butcher at Basingstoke police station on 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

My son Fletcher graduated from Berea College this past Sunday. I was beyond proud, to say the least. He is the first in our immediate family to finish college. My husband and I both attended Berea College. He had to leave school during his senior year and shortly after that I decided to take a break from college. We both had every intention of going back and finishing our education but we never did.
We got married, had children and life happened. Our daughter dabbled in a college class here and there but was never really serious about furthering her education. So- the fact that my son actually got his diploma was a feat in itself.
I don't know about everyone else, but our family can never get through an event or holiday without something going awry. Someone always gets mad, get their feelings hurt, says they're not going or something, it never fails. So, I wasn't really expecting anything different on Sunday.
My husband, Garry, left for Berea around 6:30 that morning to attend Baccalaureate services with our son. There's no way I could've left that early. I would have had to stayed up all night getting beautiful. Besides, my husband abhors smoking and won't allow it in his car. A friend of mine was going and all of us fellow smokers were riding with him.
So, I started to sculpt my face with foundation, filling in all the lines and connecting all the brown spots when the phone rings. Between sobs my daughter, Ashley, tells me that her husband, Derek, isn't going to go (sobs) and the brakes on her car are bad (more sobs). Is there room for her and my grandson in Neal's car?
No, dear, the "smoking car" is full and I must get off and finish my face. I hand up and proceed on to my blush. The phone rings again, "Mom, (crying even harder) could I take your car?".
Now, there is a reason why I wasn't taking my own car- its dilapidate, has a million miles on it and is my only means of transportation, probably for the rest of my life.
I say, "Yes, dear, but you'll have to put gas in it because it is on empty". I hung up and proceeded to work on my eyes. Ring.
"Mom, (bawling) Derek won't give me any gas money."
"Well I can't help that," I said, "I'm broke and my mascara is starting to dry and clump." I slam down the phone. I had just finished the beautification process when the phone rings again. Happy now, my daughter says her husband has agreed to give her gas money. I told her that I'll leave the keys in my car and please don't call me again.
The smoking car arrives and many cigarettes later we make it to Berea without incident. We meet my husband and Fletcher and as we are making our way across the campus to the 1 pm graduation, my husband's cell phone rings. Seems my car has had a blow out on I-75. He has to turn around and go pick up our daughter and grandson who were sitting on the side of the interstate.
The rest of us proceed on to Seabury gym where my son and I were so pleased to see my mother with my sister and her family.
My mother very seldom leaves her home anymore and I doubt she'll even attend her own funeral! Her being there meant so much to my son who wanted everyone from Jesus Christ to the garbage man there. When I'd tried to explain to him that everyone couldn't possibly come, his response was, "They would if they loved me."
Oh dear. Luckily, my husband, daughter and grandson made it back with three minutes to spare. My mom, having not seen me since Christmas, took a seat beside me. Big mistake! A very refined, reserved and dignified lady, she should have known better. Awards were handed out to three of Berea's top students and lo and behold one of them happened to be from my little ole Letcher County, more than that, from our own Isom- yoo hoo! I stood alone and and in all my glory, screamed "Way to go Letcher county, yeah Isom, yoo hoo!"
Scarlet faced my mother grabbed my arm and said, "Debra Kaye, sit down and shut up. She should have known. Minutes later they sang "Berea Beloved', and we all stood. I'd forgotten that the seats fold back up, and when I went I went to sit back down, well you known what they say about Karma!
After the ceremony my poor husband had to go load up everything in my son's dorm room, sqeeze our daughter and grandson into his car and head down I-75 to change a tire. The "smoking car" made it back home early and again without incident.
While at Berea, the hazy memories of my time there came flooding back. The small, Georgian motif style campus had changed very little. Main Street remained the same, most of the little cafes my husband and I had eaten at were still there. I would highly recommend Berea College to anyone thinking about a higher education. It is not only one of the most top notched institutions of learning in KY, but in the entire south.
Not to knock bigger universities, but at a smaller Berea, you are not just a number, but an individual, where everyone knows everyone, including your professors. Tuition is free at Berea and everyone is required to work in the Labor Program. Anyone that wants can plays sports and there is an excellent theater and liberal arts program. The campus itself is down home and beautiful. The squirrels eat right out of your hand.
My son was a member of BME (The Black Musical Ensemble). Berea is full of diversity and different cultures which was wonderful for me, coming from a small community with no minorities. Boone Tavern is renown all over the world for it's fine dining and Elegance. Politicians, movie stars, dignitaries, and coaches have all dined there. I was lucky enough to work there when I attend Berea College. A patron actually thought I was Barbara Striesand (its the big nose) making a movie there! For anyone who is academically inclined but financially strapped, consider attending Berea College.
Now that my son has graduated, he has to ponder his next move and he is struggling with that. When he first started college he wanted to go into medicine, possibly surgery, and now he is rethinking that decision. Fletcher is way to hard on himself and a perfectionist.. I can so see him doing surgery on someone, waking up in the middle of the night, thinking that he got one little stitch wrong, hauling the patient back in the OR, opening them back up and doing it all over again.
He needs to realize that no one is perfect and to see the wonderful qualities in himself that others see. He is intelligent, a great singer, motivated, and most of all, he has time to figure it out. I just want him to do something with his life that he enjoys and makes him happy before he wakes up one day and it's too late. Most of us never have that opportunity and some of us die without knowing what we should've or could've done with our lives.
I could've been rich had they offered a degree in soap operas or yard sales! I just want my son to be happy and at peace with himself. Be a ditch digger if that's what you really want to do. There is nothing wrong with hard work. But, think carefully, because the decisions we make when we are young will most likely follow us for the rest of our lives.
No matter what, on this day Fletcher, you have attained something no one else in your family has been able to do and for that I am forever proud and I love you.
Till next time- Forward Ho!

"The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see." Sir Winston Churchill
Archaeological Prospectors is a full-range archaeological consulting company with the regions most experienced staff and the largest selection of field equipment. We specialise in completing high-quality, timely archaeological assessments throughout North America. New Brunswick's most experienced and diligent field archaeologists. Specialising in landscape interpretation and early Holocene (Palaeoindian) archaeology.
The application of geophysics to archaeology has been around since the 1950bsp; Using different instruments to detect changes in the earthୡgnetic field and resistance values, archaeological geophysics can detect and map buried features.
With the ability to survey up to 4000 m2 a day, geophysical surveys can map sub-surface features, thus focussing efforts in the field and greatly reducing both costs and destruction to archaeological sites.
Archaeological Prospectors employees are trained in the use of resistivity, magnetometry, ground-penetrating radar, aerial photography for the detection of archaeological sites and all aspects of traditional archaeological survey and excavation. We find that for most applications, our magnetometer will detect and map most features effectively, although the most appropriate techniques are used.
Since our establishment in 2001 we have been providing services in shallow geophysics with applications in archaeological prospection, engineering, environmental impact assessments and underground utility mapping. Our services also include landscape surveying, GIS modelling, pedestrian surveys, testing and excavation.

We had just gotten her little brother, Porter, a week before, and we decided that we needed to get him a friend to play with while we were at work. I found Rosie on PetFinder and fell in love immediately. I found out that she had been at the shelter past the point where she should have been put down, but she was an office favorite so they had kept her just in case someone wanted her at the last minute. I went there and met her and picked her up within two days. Rosie fits into our family so well. She's so full of love! I can't imagine our family without her and I'm so happy we were able to save such a wonderful little girl.

American Staff
The Moore American
MOORE — Taxes are not high on the to-do list for the millions impacted by federally declared disasters every year, but tax breaks can play a part in the rebuilding process. Five months after the devastating tornado in Oklahoma, taxpayers should consider taxes during their rebuilding process.
"The Moore tornado affected tens of thousands of Oklahoma residents and H&R Block is here to help our neighbors get back on track," said Adrienne Coats of H&R Block in Moore. "Taxpayers need to know there is monetary relief in the form of their tax return."
Casualty losses can result in larger refunds: Many homeowner's and renter's insurance policies have restrictions, including some that don't cover natural disasters or flooding. Claiming disaster-related casualty losses for damaged or lost property is a way taxpayers can find financial relief for recovery costs that came out of their own pockets. This includes homeowner's and renter's deductibles on any claims made that were disaster-related.
Taxpayers in the seven Oklahoma counties declared federal disaster areas in May have the option of claiming these 2013 disaster-related casualty losses on the 2013 return, which will be filed in 2014, or on an original or amended 2012 tax return.
Waiting to claim the loss on the 2013 return could result in greater tax savings, however, claiming a loss on a 2012 return allows disaster victims to recoup their losses more quickly. Taxpayers should ask a tax professional for assistance in choosing the best option.
"Now that five months have passed, taxpayers have a better idea of their losses. Amending an already filed return from the year before the disaster may bring a better financial result than waiting to claim the loss on the 2013 return," Coats said.
Tornado-damaged Moore H&R Block office rebuilding underway: Disaster victims may need to reconstruct their financial records to prove a casualty loss occurred for insurance reimbursement and tax purposes. Obtaining prior year tax returns for tax and insurance purposes is a common challenge faced by severe weather incident victims.
"H&R Block clients can visit any retail tax office to get copies of their tax returns, even if they prepared their taxes on their own using H&R Block DIY products. Clients of the Moore office can visit the office at 4711 SW. 29th St. in Del City while we rebuild," Coats said. The H&R Block office in Moore at 711 SW. 19th St. is being rebuilt due to the extensive damage from the May tornado.
"We not only work in the community, but we live and shop and rebuild here as well. H&R Block is working hard to get our office in Moore rebuilt and serving our neighbors," Coats said.

The Vole says an exploit, which was discovered on December 15, 2006, and made public at the end of May, is actually a feature.
Apparently versions 5.x allow bypass of basic authentication by using the "hit highlight" feature. The hit-highlighting feature can be used by an unauthorised user to nick documents.
The Internet Storm Centre says that hackers have not used this exploit to take over systems to date, that could well change. Especially now we've told them about it.
The Vole has written up the problem in its Knowledge Base article 328832. Apparently, hit-highlighting with Webhits.dll only relies on the Microsoft Windows NT ACL (Access Control List) configuration on 5.x versions.
Security experts are a bit stunned at the Volish attitude. Rather than supply a patch or workaround, Microsoft published six steps to reproduce the exploit. In otherwords Vole is telling the world how to exploit products being used by their customers.
The official Volish line is that all users should upgrade to IIS (Internet Information Services) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security, it says here.

Hong Kong Stocks Close Higher as Investors Weigh China
(Corrects description of data in fifth paragraph.)
April 16 (Bloomberg) -- Hong Kong's benchmark stock gauge closed higher after fluctuating throughout the day as investors weighed data showing China's gross domestic product growth slowed to the weakest pace in six quarters. Casinos declined.
Agricultural Bank of China Ltd. added 0.3 percent, paring gains of as much as 1.8 percent. Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Lenovo Group Ltd. advanced after U.S. technology stocks rallied. Wynn Macau Ltd., a unit of billionaire Steve Wynn's gaming company, dropped 2.4 percent as casinos slid on a report high- end betting in Macau may decrease. China Resources Power Holdings Co. retreated 3 percent to lead declines on the Hang Seng Index.
"GDP was largely in line but industrial production disappointed," Audrey Goh, an investment strategist at Standard Chartered Plc, said from Singapore. "This is in tandem with the disappointing money-supply growth yesterday which showed that growth in the economy continued to slow, renewing calls for more policy measures to support growth."
The Hang Seng Index climbed 0.1 percent to 22,696.01 at the close in Hong Kong after rising as much as 0.9 percent and falling 0.2 percent. Trading volume today was 31 percent lower than the 30-day average. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of mainland shares traded in the city added 0.1 percent to 10,035.96.
Asia's largest economy grew 7.4 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier, a report showed today. That compared with the median estimate of 7.3 percent in a Bloomberg News survey of economists and a 7.7 percent expansion in the fourth quarter. Industrial production increased 8.8 percent in March, less than projected, while first-quarter fixed-asset investment trailed estimates.
Quarterly Performance
The Hang Seng Index rose 2.5 percent this quarter, the top performer for the period among developed markets after being the second-worst the previous three months, on speculation China's policy makers will act to counter a slowdown that threatens their 7.5 percent growth target. The equity gauge traded at 10.3 times estimated earnings today, compared with 15.7 times for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index yesterday.
"It's an uncomfortable position to be in. The numbers aren't that good, but not bad enough to expect stimulus," said Ryosuke Kawahata, who helps oversee about $34 billion at Mizuho Asset Management Co. "If the macro data missed estimates by a lot there could have been more expectations for stimulus policy to come through to stabilize growth."
Banks rebounded after dropping yesterday when data showed new credit fell in March and money supply expanded at the slowest pace on record. Agricultural Bank rose as much as 1.8 percent before closing 0.3 percent higher at HK$3.31. China Citic Bank Corp. added 0.4 percent to HK$4.65.
Casino Concern
Less borrowing in China may lead to a drop in betting by high rollers in Macau, according to Cameron McKnight, a Wells Fargo & Co. analyst in New York. Credit growth is a leading indicator of so-called VIP betting in Macau casinos by six to 12 months, he said.
Wynn Macau dropped 2.4 percent to HK$32.10. Sands China Ltd., a unit of Las Vegas Sands Corp., slid 1.2 percent to HK$60.55.
Futures on the S&P 500 added 0.4 percent today. The U.S. equity gauge rose 0.7 percent yesterday as earnings from Coca- Cola Co. and Johnson & Johnson outweighed concerns that tensions in Ukraine are worsening. Twitter Inc. soared 11 percent, the microblogging company's biggest gain since its first day of trading. Technology shares continued their rebound after hours when Yahoo Inc. and Intel Corp. posted favorable results.
Tencent, Asia's biggest Internet company, climbed 1.1 percent to HK$521.50. Lenovo added 2.2 percent to HK$9.34 to lead gains on the Hang Seng Index.
The U.S. yesterday urged China to reduce currency interventions and let markets play a bigger role in setting the value of the yuan. Pressured by its international counterparts to loosen exchange-rate controls, China last month doubled the limit for the yuan's daily moves against the dollar.
