WCPE Offers Special Programming for Chanukkah
TheClassicalStation.org Honors Jewish Festival of Lights
WAKE FOREST, N.C. (December 17, 2011)WCPEs Assistant Music Director Kenneth Bradshaw announces today that TheClassicalStation.org will air special programming at 6 p.m. ET on December 20 honoring the Jewish Festival of Lights, Chanukkah.
WCPE will celebrate the lighting of the first candle of the seven candle menorah. The program will feature Chanukkah: In Story and Song with Leonard Nimoy, guest narrator. There will be performances by The Western Wind with guest instrumentalists. The acclaimed vocal sextet and the renowned actor present 25 eclectic selections, from the Ladino songs of the Spanish Jews and Yiddish melodies of Eastern Europe to modern Israeli tunes and their original version of "I Have a Little Dreydle." The singers sing a cappella and are also joined by instruments including violin, accordion, bass and guitar. The narration written by Rabbi Gerald Skolnik sheds light on the holiday customs and rituals.
There will be other Hebraic composers and music featured throughout the eight day holiday, offers Bradshaw.
From the Hebrew word for dedication or consecration, Chanukkah marks the re-dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem after its desecration by the forces of Antiochus IV and commemorates the "miracle of the container of oil." According to the Talmud, at the re-dedication following the victory of the Maccabees over the Seleucid Empire, there was only enough consecrated olive oil to fuel the eternal flame in the Temple for one day. Miraculously, the oil burned for eight days, which was the length of time it took to press, prepare and consecrate fresh olive oil.
The festival is observed in Jewish homes by the kindling of lights on each night of the holiday: One on the first night, two on the second, and so on.
The Great Classical Music, 24 Hours A Day offered by WCPE transcends belief systems, being crafted by artists from all traditions and listened to by a global audience reflective of the worlds diversity. Found throughout WCPEs programming are the traditions of people from all walks of life.

Federal prison inmate Jamaal Castille, 25, is back in the Muscogee County Jail, less than a month after being indicted for murder.
Authorities linked Castille to the 2008 murder of David Coleman.
Three other suspects including Castille's mother, Daphene Castille, and Dantrell Marshall are already in custody awaiting trial.
Terrell Marshall is expected to be brought back to Columbus from federal prison.
Terrell and Jamaal are currently serving time for robbing a CB&T Bank a week before allegedly killing Coleman for tipping off police about the hold up.
Investigators say, Daphene Castille, 44, headed up a drug operation that led to a litany of dangerous crimes, including murder.

The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf is reporting this morning that four former teammates of Lance Armstrong have not only implicated the seven-time Tour de France champion but also confessed their own usage of performance enhancing drugs.
The four -- arguably among the biggest names in U.S. cycling in the past decade -- are reported to be George Hincapie, Levi Leipheimer, Dave Zabriskie and Christian Vande Velde. The newspaper is reporting that their deal with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, the organization that recently announced its own investigation of Armstrong, includes a six-month suspension for their own participation in doping activities. According to the article, the suspension will begin at the end of the current racing season. Each is currently racing in the Tour de France; none of the four however, holds a spot on the current U.S. Olympic team.
According to Die Telegraaf , Garmin-Sharp team boss Jonathan Vaughters is also involved in the investigation, though Sharp denied publically this morning that he nor anyone else involved with Slipstream Sports, the owners of the team, have been given a six-month ban by the United States Anti Doping Agency.
Vaughters denied the report in a posting on his Twitter account this morning: "Regarding the Dutch media report: no 6mos (sic) suspensions have been given to any member of Slipstream Sports. Today or at any future date."
Additionally, the riders named in the story as being involved have been mum as well when pressed on the matter by reporters, issuing no comment statements, and that they could neither confirm nor deny any involvement with the matter.
More to come on this for sure; it was the talk of the Tour de France this morning.

The traditional start of the season for organized bicycle rides is the state's oldest ride, the Chilly Hilly.
The name says it all. The ride is probably going to be cold and it's definitely going to be hilly.
The 42nd Chilly Hilly is Sunday with day-of-ride registration taking place at Winslow's Bainbridge Island Cycle, 124 Bjune Drive, or in Seattle on Alaskan Way opposite the Coleman Ferry Terminal.
The route on Bainbridge Island is just 33 miles and starts with a ferry ride from Seattle for the majority of riders. The course is packed with 2,700 feet of climbing.
Day of ride registration is $40 including the ferry crossing or $30 to start in Winslow. For more information visit Cascade.org. Discounted registration is available until 9 a.m. Friday.
Depending on the weather, rider turnout ranges from 3,000 to more than 6,000. Weather.com predicts temperatures ranging from 37-45 degrees Sunday with a 50 percent chance of rain during the day.

August 2, 2014
CHICAGO (AP) - A movement encouraging more vigorous exercise in schools could be tempered by a new study that says injuries to American children during physical education classes have jumped.
The study's senior author says injuries increased by 150 percent from 1997-2007. But Lara McKenzie of Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, also points out the increase may have more to do with lack of adult supervision than lively gym programs.
There's also been a decline in school nurses and class sizes have increased.
McKenzie says the benefits of physical education classes outweigh the risks, but "being healthy doesn't have to hurt."
The study appears in the September edition of Pediatrics. It suggests schools should renew their efforts to make gym class safer.

Navigating Foreign Property Markets
Shopping for real estate overseas is more difficult than in the U.S.
Here's the first and most important thing to understand about most real estate markets beyond North American borders: They don't come with multiple listing services.
[See The 10 Best Places to Retire in 2012.]
In the U.S., if you want to shop for a house, you can walk into any real estate agency and dictate your criteria for the purchase. The agent types those details into the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system, which immediately provides the agent with matches. Within a matter of minutes, you're presented with every piece of property currently listed for sale that matches your purchase parameters.
But this model of efficiency is nearly impossible in most of the rest of the world. With a handful of localized exceptions including regions of Mexico and Buenos Aires, in most of the world, you're going to have to meet with every agent in town to get a full picture of what's available for sale or for rent. This is true not only in emerging markets in Latin America and the Caribbean, but in Europe as well. Outside North America, real estate listings are proprietary, not shared. Agents do not cooperate and will look at you as though you've lost your mind if you suggest to them the idea that they might split commissions with each other and all make more money in the long run.
[See How to Choose an Overseas Retirement Haven.]
Outside North America it's common to find the same property listed with more than one agent—not because the agents are sharing the listing, but because the seller gave the listing to each agent individually, sometimes at different prices. Between the lack of a MLS and the possibility that the same property is listed twice, it's next to impossible to estimate what a particular size and type of property should cost.
When we moved to Ireland 14 years ago, I had already been covering the retire overseas beat for over a decade. I was familiar with how the real estate industries work in the emerging, unregulated markets of Latin America and the Caribbean. But I thought Europe would be different. Naively, I expected the real estate industry in Ireland to operate like the real estate industry in the United States. When we arrived in Waterford, my husband and I went to the offices of the biggest real estate agency in town. We explained what kind of house we were interested in buying (Georgian and old). The agent took us to see two houses. "Neither of these suits us," I explained. "What else is available?" The agent replied, "That's all I have."
Could there really be only two old Georgian houses for sale in all of County Waterford? In fact, no, there were others. But the agent we were speaking with had only two on his books. Then it struck us. The Irish property market doesn't operate like the one in the United States. It operates more like the emerging markets of Latin America. We reconciled ourselves to the consequence of this and made appointments to sit down with every agent in Waterford City to review the listings each carried. In the course of these meetings, we encountered more than one case of the same property being listed with different agencies at different prices.
[See The 6 Best Places to Be a Snowbird.]
Here's the second thing to understand about many real estate markets outside the United States, especially the unregulated ones south of the Rio Grande: The real estate agent you meet with doesn't work for you, and he doesn't really work for the seller either. He works for the commission, which he wants to be as big as possible. In some markets, this can lead to what's called "net pricing," whereby the agent will promise the seller a fixed amount for his property. The agent then sells for whatever he can sell for and pockets the difference. Maybe he walks away with a reasonable commission, or maybe he makes 20 percent or more on the deal. You, as the buyer, never know. I make this point not to alarm, but to prepare you. Don't take for granted that your real estate agent works for you.
When you meet initially with local property agents, you're trying to get a lay of the land and a read on the market, to find out what's available at what price. You're not necessarily preparing to buy. You're not ready to make that commitment yet. First you want to take your chosen haven for a test spin. Once you've narrowed your list of dream havens to one, and you're thinking you've found your ideal match, plan to spend at least six months living in the place.
During that period, rent. Maybe your chosen haven won't turn out to be all you imagined it to be. Or maybe you'll find that the country suits you fine, but the neighborhood where you've settled for your trial living experience doesn't. I've yet to meet a single expat retiree who regrets having made the move overseas. However, I have known some people who weren't happy with their initial location choices. Moving is no problem as long as you haven't invested in the purchase of a home, which is why it's a good idea to rent first.
In both Ireland and Paris, we rented for nearly a year before buying, and in both cases we were glad we did. In Ireland, at first we thought that we wanted to be in Waterford City center. We rented a small house on the river within walking distance of our daughter's school. But we realized quickly that Waterford City living wasn't for us, and we began looking for a place in the country. When our lease in town ran out, we were ready to take up more permanent residence in the old Georgian farmhouse we'd found twenty minutes outside the city, with fields of sheep and cows and low stone walls all around. Lahardan House, as the place is known, was our comfortable and cozy Irish country home for more than six years.
Likewise, in Paris, we'd always thought we wanted to settle in the fifth arrondissement, in the heart of the city. A few months in a rental apartment across the Seine from Notre Dame cured us of that mistaken idea. We realized that in fact we wanted something a little quieter and more removed from the tourist throngs.
We found and purchased an early 18th-century apartment on a narrow street in the seventh arrondissement that few tourists ever find. We were tucked away from the beaten path, yet only one block from the river and a five minute walk from the Louvre.
[See The Most Tax-Friendly Places to Retire Abroad.]
In some cases, you may want to rent indefinitely. Property, especially land, can be a sensible place to invest your money. But renting rather than owning your retirement dream home overseas has long-term advantages. Renters face no maintenance worries or expense, no property upkeep, and no property taxes. Renting also keeps you mobile. When you're ready for your next adventure, you need to wait only until the term of your lease is up.

---- — DANVERS — Police say red dye packs may have exploded on a man as he made his getaway after robbing a bank at the Danvers Plaza Shopping Center yesterday afternoon.
The incident occurred about 2:45 p.m. at Citizen's Bank inside the Super Stop & Shop at 301 Newbury St., according to radio reports and a press release from Chief Neil Ouellette.
The suspect — described as a thin white man in his 20s or 30s, about 5 feet 7 inches tall, with thin short hair and a goatee — told the bank clerk he had a handgun, though one wasn't shown, police said. He was wearing a navy-blue Abercrombie & Fitch sweatshirt pulled tightly over his face, blue jeans and white shoes. None of his face was visible except his mouth area.
The suspect was last seen running in the vicinity of Staples. A customer saw the dye packs explode shortly after he exited the bank, according to radio reports.
It was unclear how much cash the suspect stole, if any.
A K9 unit searched the area, as did state troopers, to no avail.
Police were overheard on the radio saying first that a red SUV might have been involved in the robbery because it had taken off from the area around the time the suspect exited the store. Later, police issued a be-on-the-lookout alert for a gray 2005 Cadillac STS that was registered to a Salem man who had previously faced drugs and larceny charges. They did not identify the man as a suspect but speculated that his vehicle might have picked up the bank robber before leaving the area.
There were conflicting reports throughout the hours following the incident, with police at points saying the suspect was black and that he actually had shown a gun. Those were later determined to be untrue.
The suspect was not wearing gloves at the time of the robbery, and police planned to fingerprint an area of the counter he had touched.
Local police and the FBI are investigating. Police encourage anybody with information to contact detectives at 978-774-1213, extension 127.

Californians don't love their cars, many have no choice. June 30th, 2007
June 1 Editorial by Noel Braymer
In mid June of this year there were several news stories about a U.S. Census survey which showed that Americans, particularly Californians where driving alone more than ever. This is despite millions of dollars being spent to encourage car-pooling and ride sharing. Many of the stories in the papers harped on the old clichés about peoples so called "love affair" with their automobile and so on. One newspaper, the Los Angeles Daily News got it right. Their headline for the story by Brent Hopkins on June 13th said it all: Southland drivers are the loneliest in the U.S.; jobs, housing key reason.

When last Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal took to the national stage, he bombed. Following some ill-tempered remarks Monday as he stood outside the White House, Jindal has done it, or not done it, again.
In 2009, Jindal was chosen to give the Republican response to the State of the Union address. It was not an enviable position to be sure, given President Obamas gift for oratory, and indeed the president had made a splendid address.
But Jindals response was mostly partisan rhetoric, full of shallow and nonsensical logic. His speech was so bad, in fact, that some GOP observers felt the one-time presidential contender had taken himself out of any possibility for national office.
At least Jindals speech then was partisan and contentious by design. His unnecessary remarks Monday after governors conferred with President Obama in a cordial meeting were embarrassing.
Standing outside the White House, he managed to shock some of his fellow governors by blasting the president, saying Obama seems to be waving the white flag of surrender on the economy because the president is focused on hiking the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. The Obama economy is the minimum wage economy, Jindal said.
Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy of Connecticut called Jindals comments insane and noted that the meeting had been cooperative. Gov. Pat McCrory of North Carolina also was fairly positive about the meeting.
Jindals comments also were outside protocol. Harsh partisanship is usually put on hold until people clear the White House grounds. Jindal has again shown one reason hell never have to worry about that from the position of occupying the Oval Office.

Staff Report
---- —
SUNY Delhi's culinary team has brought home another national championship title to the college, winning the American Culinary Federation Student National Championship in Orlando, Fla., last week.
The students competed against three other teams _ each representing a different region of the United States _ to prepare a four-course meal with 24 portions in each course over a period of three hours and 20 minutes.
The win is the second national title for the State University College of Technology at Delhi; culinary teams from the college have competed at the national championship six times in the last 10 years.
"We are very proud of our team for winning a second national title," SUNY Delhi President Candace S. Vancko said in a media release. "The team's commitment was exceptional, and it has worked very hard to earn the title as the nation's finest."
The team is Mathew Howard, team captain, of Oswego; Stephanie Wickert of Liverpool; Jimmy Russell of New Hartford; Edward Maley of Rochester; and Leonard Messina of Farmingdale. The team was assisted by apprentices Alexis Chamoff of Flushing and Jessica Monahan of Hopewell Junction.
The team was coached by Victor Sommo, instructor and 2001 graduate of SUNY Delhi's culinary arts program. Tom Recinella, associate professor of culinary arts, served as team manager. Brianne Slocum, an 2007 graduate of the program, also worked closely with the team.
"It was an extremely competitive championship," Recinella said in the release. "To win against three very talented teams makes it even better."
To travel to Orlando for the national competition, Delhi's team raised funds by hosting dining opportunities for the campus and community to sample the signature menu. Several chapters of the American Culinary Federation Northeast Region also contributed funds to support the team's entry and travel expenses.
Later this year, Delhi's 2010 national championship team will be featured in the debut of a full-length film, "Mise En Place."
The documentary, produced by Kent Garrett Productions, "chronicles the work of Team Delhi as its members compete, perform community service, and grow together as a family," according to the release. A red-carpet premiere will be held on the Delhi campus in September.
For more information about SUNY Delhi's Culinary Arts program, visit www.delhi.edu or call (800) 96-DELHI.

for a refreshing, memorable finish.
Cellar/Tasting Notes One Rock Chardonnay is a bright, fresh white wine from sea-cooled vineyards
on The North Fork of Long Island. Rigorous grape selection and cool fermentation result in a nuanced, dry wine with notes of mineral, apple, lemon and pineapple. Perfect as an aperitif, or with seafood, poultry and spicy..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The goal at Acacia is to interfere as little as possible in order to preserve maximum flavor of their wine with clarity and balance. They believe in the grapes and the land.
The 2012 Chardonnay epitomizes this goal as it is a balanced and refreshing chardonnay with aromatic notes of fresh melon,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This shows an evident layer of oak in the form of buttered toast and vanilla notes, but the underlying wine is strong in pineapple and golden mango flavors. Fine coastal acidity and a hint of mineral provide structural balance."
Cellar/Tasting Notes A knockout! Invictus Chardonnay is sourced from the finest vineyards in Napa Valley. Full and rich and absolutely the best Invictus Chardonnay we've ever offered. It offers fresh, enticing aromas of lychee, lemongrass, and honeysuckle with bright flavors of lime zest and grapefruit, supported by..
Cellar/Tasting Notes This 100% Trousseau Gris emanates superb flowery aromas and is an approachable wine that is just as delicate as it is light, crisp and fresh.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Pale gold. Pungent, exotic aromas of passion fruit, peach skin, smoky minerals and wild herbs. Dense, broad and penetrating, offering sappy, soil-driven flavors of orchard and pit fruits, crushed rock and honey, with a repeating smokiness. Deep and chewy on the finish, with the honey and smoke..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Shows wonderful purity and focus to the honeydew melon, passion fruit, lime and pear flavors, with floral and mineral details. The texture is succulent and smooth, finishing with a bright acidity."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The Brick House 2011 Chardonnay Cascadia features fresh apple and lime wreathed in bittersweetly perfumed gentian, iris and lily-of-the-valley. Delightfully vivacious and refreshing yet at the same time subtly creamy, it reveals salinity and stoniness in a sustained, saliva-drawing finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Foxen's UU Block from the famed Bien Nacido Vineyard fights it out every year with the estate Tinaquaic Chardonnay for top honors. In this cool vintage, the former wins out by a hair. Dry, steely and crisp in acidity, it shows vast tropical fruit, orange, vanilla, honey and buttered toast flavors..

The Mulleavy sisters have now added a magazine to their resume. Between designing seasonal collections, playing DJ and now this I do not know where they find time in their day to just sit and enjoy their success. They are now curating a magazine appropriately called "A Magazine Curated By Rodarte". Yup, that's it.
Within the 200 paged magazine comprised of their own contributions, art, photography and interviews these lovely images of 13 year old Elle Fanning can be found. Photographed by Bill Owens, Elle dons garments from the Rodarte 10-piece spring/summer 2012 Couture collection. I for one am excited to see more of Kate & Laura's love letter to the West Coast.

It's about time that Elle nabbed herself the cover of Teen Vogue. I cannot believe how stunning she is at such a young age, which is making it hard to imagine just how stunning she will be 10 years from now.
10 years? Oh lordy I will be so old by then.

Digitimes Research: Global notebook shipments drop 5.5% on year in 1Q14; HP, Asustek, Apple enjoy growth
Joanne Chien, DIGITIMES Research, Taipei [Thursday 24 April 2014]
Taiwan and worldwide notebook shipments dropped 13.8% and 14.2% sequentially, and 6.8% and 5.5% on year, respectively in the first quarter of 2014, according to Digitimes Research's latest figures. The sequential drops were mainly due to seasonality.
Although the on-year declines were the slowest compared to those in the past five quarters, whether the notebook market has already started recovering remains to be seen.
Hewlett-Packard (HP), Asustek Computer, Apple and Lenovo all achieved on-year growths in their first-quarter notebook shipments with the first three seeing growths of more than 10%, according to the latest quarterly notebook report by Digitimes Research.
Acer, Samsung Electronics and Sony suffered on-year shipment declines higher than the market average in the first quarter. Acer has been restructuring its business, while Samsung and Sony have shifted their focuses away from the notebook market.
The top-5 notebook ODMs' combined shipment performance was weaker than that of the overall industry. Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry), which landed orders for HP's educational procurement products, became the largest notebook supplier of HP in the first quarter with shipments growing over 100% to reach two million units.

I write about entrepreneurial innovation in medicine.
A fascinating article by Robert Langreth today in Bloomberg discusses the efforts by Google's Sergey Brin to catalyze the discovery of a treatment for Parkinson's Disease, a condition his mother suffers from, and for which genetic testing reportedly indicates he may be at relatively high risk.
This article discusses at least three important themes familiar to readers of this column:
As a whole, Brin's strategy serves to highlight important deficiencies in the way new medicines are now discovered and developed, and may point the way towards new approaches and modes of collaboration that might work better.
Will Brin's search succeed? It's still too early to say — but I'm feeling lucky.
Parkinson's disease is a horrible disease to have. My mother died from the affects of parkinson's disease. Sergey has the drive and a huge amount of money to find a cure of parkinson's disease. I wish you luck Sergey. Regards Graham.

Chicago, Illinois, May 13 – Hudsonville Ice Cream is introducing a ferocious new Limited Edition flavor and needs Chicagoans to help name it.
Hudsonville Ice Cream is excited to team up with the Chicago Bears this season to launch the Midwest ice cream company's newest Limited Edition flavor. Hudsonville and the Bears are looking to the Bears' fans- the ones that endure the cold, lose their voices after every game and the ones that cook up the snacks for their favorite Bears fans- to help name the flavor inspired by the Monsters of the Midway.
The ice cream company, located across the big lake in Holland, Michigan, is asking the public to vote for the name of the flavor, a recipe of Chocolate ice cream with fudge pieces and a peanut butter ripple. The hometown team inspired the three naming options: Chocolate Monster, Da Ice Cream and Bear Traxx. Voting is open through Friday, May 16 at http://www.chicagobears.com/fan-zone/hudsonvilleicecream.html
One voter for the winning flavor name will randomly be selected to win a year's supply of free ice cream. But don't worry, everyone will be able to enjoy the Bears inspired flavor when it hits stores later this year.
Hudsonville Ice Cream offers a quarterly rotation of seasonally inspired ice creams that capture the best flavors that the Midwest has to offer.
"We are truly excited and honored to partner with the Bears organization. The Bears work hard and bring Chicagoans together; their milestones have caused celebration since 1920. At Hudsonville we feel we have many of those same qualities," said CJ Ellens of Hudsonville Ice Cream. "The artisans at Hudsonville started making ice cream back in 1926 and we work hard every day to make the best ice cream we can. Ice cream brings people together and helps us celebrate."
Ellens said Hudsonville Ice Cream looks forward to the partnership with the Bears being unique, it will allow fans to bring the taste of their favorite team home. "What is even more exciting is that the fans have complete control over the name. We hope everyone gets online and votes."
About Hudsonville Creamery & Ice Cream, Inc.
Hudsonville Creamery & Ice Cream Company got its start in 1895 as a farmers' cooperative in Hudsonville, Michigan, which began using its fresh milk and cream to make ice cream in 1926. Today, Hudsonville is headquartered in Holland and sells its premium ice cream to grocery stores and ice cream parlors in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. The Company uses its original mix recipe and creates new and unique flavors each year. For more information, visit www.hudsonvilleicecream.com.

As the famous quote says..."There is no place like home" but what if your home is a colossal and dirty mess?
How do you right this sinking ship? Ignore it? Live out of the cleanest room in your home? Channel Barbara Eden in I Dream of Jeannie and blink it away?
Follow the pointers below to get your entire house sparkling and keep it that way.
Where to Begin?
A dirty home can be a daunting task, just looking at it and knowing where to being can be overwhelming. As with any task take one step at at a time. In this case tackle one room at a time.
Let's Begin With the Kitchen...
Start by removing small appliances like the coffeemaker and the toaster off of the counters, grime and bacteria may be lurking under them.
-Clean the counters and the sinks by spraying disinfectant* on them and allowing a brief period of soaking to dissovle the germs and bacteria. Next scrub the sink and wipe down the counters. Finish by drying both with a cotton cloth.
-Wipe down larger appliances with a mild disinfectant. Pay speical attention to the refrigerator door handle which is often a bacteria friendly spot.
-Finally sweep the floor to remove hair and dust before mopping. With both sweeping and mopping you now have more choices. For example the Swiffer Sweeper* offers both wet and dry options for your floors. You can use the dry cloths instead of sweeping and the wet cloths instead of mopping.
Next Let's Tackle the Family/Living Room...
Is this CLUTTER CENTRAL in your home? The gathering spot for all the stuff that never makes it upstairs or to other rooms in your home?
If so let's start by clearing the clutter...
-Walk the room with a basket or bag and gather items that don't belong such as toys, shoes, books and other out-of-place items for later redistribution.
-Vacuum or dry mop the floor. Dirt buildup can harm both carpet and hardwood floors.
-Give the room a quick dusting using an electrostatic or microfiber cloth or a textured duster* that will trap dust. The traditional feather duster, in the end, only spreads the dust around.
-Finally fluff pillows on furniture and fold any blankets or throws, this instantly makes the room look more organized.
Take a Deep Breath... It's Time for Bathroom Duty ...
Germs, mold and mildew love this room but never fear the "wipes" revolution is here and it makes sanitizing your bathroom relatively easy.
-Start by squirting bowl cleaner* in the toilet and around its inside edges, allow it to soak while you...
Grab a package of wipes...
-First wipe down the sink and its fixtures.
-Grab a fresh wipe and head for the toilet, wipe the top of the seat, then the entire outside of the toilet, finish by lifting the seat and wiping it as well the rim beneath the seat.
-Grab another wipe cleaning the edge and the side of the tub.
-Remember that soaking toilet, grab your toilet brush and give it a good scrubbing.
-Finish by wet mopping the floor using Swiffer or your favorite brand of wet cloths for the floor.
Last Stop...the Bedroom...
For all your hard work in the other rooms, this room is your reward and should be relatively easy to clean. Dust will probably be your biggest issue, so you'll want to stir it (dust) up, so to speak, and then tackle it with a combination of dusting/sweeping/mopping, etc.
-Start with the bed...shake out the covers including the fitted sheet. Pull up one corner of the fitted sheet shake; pull back down over mattress. Shake out the cover sheet as well tucking it back as you normally would. Before you replace the comforter, duvet, etc spray the bed with *Febreze Fabric Refresher.
-Next you'll want to vacuum or dry mop the floor, you'll be stirring up a lot of dust so hold off on dusting furniture, picture frames and other bedroom items.
-Finish up by dusting with a textured duster such as as *Swiffer. Start at one end of the room and work your way around moving from one piece of furniture to the next to ensure that you dust everything.
*101's Favorite Cleaning Products

Method All Surface Wipes French Lavender Scent- rack up more green conscious points with these great-smelling, all purpose, biodegradable wipes.
Swiffer- this product line might be the answer to all you cleaning needs featuring dusters as well as dry and wet mops.
On Keeping it Clean
So...you've done all this cleaning, everything is sparkling, how do you maintain your clean "bling"? It's pretty simple, do a little bit everyday.
In each room of your home pick a focal point to keep clean. This will encourage you to keep other areas clean as well.
Keep the kitchen sink clean, either wash the dishes or load them into the dishwasher out of sight. If the sink is full of dirty dishes this makes the kitchen look untidy.
Keep the sofa clean, fluff the pillows, fold blankets/throws, put books and magazines in their proper place. This takes all of five minutes to do and who knows you might be inspired to spend another five minutes dusting.
Keep the bathroom sink clean, make it a daily habit to wipe down the sink, an ideal time to do this is after you've brushed your teeth.
Keep the vanity area clean and free of clutter. If storage is an issue put toiletries in wicker baskets rather then keeping them loose on the counter.
Make your bed soon after getting up. Out with the notion that there is no need to make it because you'll only mess it up again. With the bed neatly made you'll feel inspired to tidy up your nightstand and hang up your clothes.

These were different from any falafel that I have ever had, and I LOVED them! The curry powder gave these wonderful flavor. The insides were a beautiful bright yellow...so pretty. Almost too pretty to eat. Almost. Loved the crunch of the panko. These could've used a bit more salt, IMO, but that would be my only change next time. Served w/ 'Roasted Garlic Tzatziki', also from this site~YUM! Will be making these again! Thanks for sharing. :)

The curry gave it great taste but 1/4 cup olive oil made it really runny. I had to keep adding more and more bread crumbs so that my patties would stay together. The recipe also did not call for any salt. I added one teaspoon to mine.I will make this again but with those changes.
These little patties are amazing! I did need to blend in more panko to help them hold their shape, but otherwise made exactly as written. Hubby was very pleasantly surprised by this one, as was I. I didn't even serve it with a sauce- the curry lends such a lovely flavor! I simply served it with some roasted vegetables, and it was a wonderful vegetarian meal. Thank you for sharing- it's a keeper for sure!

Direct from Vegas, we hightailed it over to Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday and we took our little brother, MattyB.
Awards shows aren't as glamorous in person as they are on TV, but it was such a special experience to see the newness and enjoyment wash all over MattyB.
Plus he had so many fans asking for his autograph!
It was a really fun and special time!
He was really hoping we'd get slimed. We were glad we didn't! That Ben Sherman outfit was too stylin' too mess up!

I don't know what to call our collie/black lab mix, whom we adopted 13 years ago. Blollie? Collab? Colliedor? She does have a bit of a herding instinct but also is strong in the retriever department (despite being nearly 14 and having only 3 legs she still LURVES her tennis balls).
Our supposed "all lab" that we adopted from a rescue a few years ago (mom was definitely yellow lab but dad unknown) turns out to have quite the hound/terrier instincts. He loves to dig up moles. . . we call him our molehound.
When I was little we had a beagle/bulldog... a Bugle?!

The other day, a clue in the paper's crossword was "Hunter's Org," and there was a three-letter grid for the answer. Immediately I surmised the answer was "NRA," but then I thought, I bet there are many NRA members who are not hunters but simply gun owners. Many are pistol owners and many never hunt so I propose the National Rifle Association is a misnomer and should change its name.
Maybe more suitable names would be the PP (Pistol Packers) or the PAC for Shooters or ADA (Ammo Dispensers of America) or the PPP ( Paranoid Packing People) or SOGS (Supporters of Guns).
Any of these is more emblematic than calling its members "hunters." Calling this hodgepodge an organization of hunters is like calling the Supreme Court the "Black Robed Oracles of Absolute Truth," and we all know that to be far from reality.
I know many true hunters who express privately to me they are for more stringent background checks and believe their leadership has gone too far protecting the Second Amendment, which will never be infringed upon.

This photo of a killer whale comes courtesy of Flickr user little frank.
Killer whales split into three separate species
- "Using genetic evidence scientists have discovered that the world's killer whales, also known as orcas (Orcinus orca), likely represent at least three separate species."
- Scientists have long thought that there may in fact be more than one species of killer whales due to behavior difference, small physical differences, and the animals' primary food source: fish or seals."
- "Unraveling the relationship between killer whale species will allow scientists a better understanding of these massive oceanic predators' ecology and how best to direct conservation efforts to make sure the diversity of killer whales is preserved."
By losing forest, the United States also loses one of its best defenses against climate change
- "Addressing U.S. deforestation will help meet our Copenhagen targets and strengthen the U.S. economy in our forest dependent communities."
- "According to Forest Service carbon accounting tools, the 21 million acres of forests that are expected to be lost to sprawl in the next 20 years sequester roughly 32 million tons of carbon per year. Furthermore, when cleared for development, carbon stored in these forests is also lost, amounting to approximately 8 million tons per year. Taken together, lost carbon sequestration capacity and emissions from clearing will represent a carbon footprint of at least 40 million tons per year by 2030. To put this into context, this amount is roughly 13% of the U.S. emissions reduction target President Obama announced at Copenhagen."
Giant deep sea jellyfish filmed in Gulf of Mexico (and there is video!)
- "Remarkable footage of a rarely seen giant deep sea jellyfish has been recorded by scientists. Using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), they captured a video of the huge Stygiomedusa gigantea. The jellyfish has a disc-shaped bell than can be a metre wide, and has four arms that extend up to six metres in length. The jellyfish has only been seen 114 times in the 110 years it has been known to science, say researchers."
40 Years After First Earth Day – Looking at where we need to be internationally on global warming in another 40 years
- "Deforestation emissions need to be effectively reduced to zero. Every second an area of rainforest the size of two football fields is lost to deforestation. That is forest that won't come back and the annual emissions associated with its loss is equivalent to the emissions of all the cars, trucks, buses, planes, trains, and boats in the world. So every second that we don't stem the loss of tropical forests, we are making our effort to solve global warming that much harder."
World failing on every environmental issue
- On September 1, 1914, the last known Passenger Pigeon, named Martha, died in a zoo in Cincinnati. For a bird that only decades before numbered in the billions, the passenger pigeon proved just how rapidly human actions—in this case unsustainable hunting for cheap meat—can wipe out a once super-abundant and prolific species, let alone naturally rare ones.
- "Habitat loss, deforestation, poaching, pollution, desertification, overharvesting, invasive species, climate change: never before has one species—humans—threatened the existence of so many others. Most biologists now agree that we have pushed life on earth into a mass extinction event: the sixth that has occurred. Mass extinction events wipe out a good percentage—usually over 50 percent—of species in a short amount of time, geologically speaking. Such losses forever re-write Earth's ecology and require millions of years for species diversity to begin recovery."

Look Before You Leap
With a home equity loan or line of credit, you can borrow up to 80% of the equity in your home. For example, if your home is valued at $125,000 and your mortgage balance is $50,000, you could borrow up to $60,000 (80% of your $75,000 equity).
Home equity loans should not be used lightly. Keep in mind that you're putting your home up as collateral on the loan. If you fall behind on the payments, you could lose your home through foreclosure, where the lender takes ownership of the property and sells it in an attempt to recoup the money they lent you.
Many people refinance their mortgage or take out a home equity loan to take advantage of the equity in their home. They then use the money for purchases, vacations, and other expenses, counting on the house appreciating in value to cover these expenditures once they sell. If it doesn't, they owe more than the house is worth and are "upside down" on their loan.
Being "upside down" on your loan means that you owe more than your home is worth, and this can easily happen if real estate values fall. If you try to sell your home under these circumstances, you will incur losses that you will have to pay for out of your own pocket when you pay off your mortgage at the time of the sale. This can cause severe financial hardship or can force you to stay in a house you no longer want to live in.
Just because you have equity in your home doesn't mean you can afford the monthly payments of an additional loan. Be sure to do a careful analysis of whether the home equity loan payments fit comfortably into your budget.
Home equity loans are best used for home improvements that will increase the value of your home. Some improvements, such as swimming pools, don't usually increase the value upon resale. Others, such as additional bathrooms, living space, renovated or updated kitchens, etc., generally do increase the value of your home.
The bottom line is this: if your home is worth more than you owe on it, a home equity loan can be a great way to take advantage of this, but it can also get you into serious financial trouble, and should be used wisely. Why not use the equity in your home as part of your retirement fund instead of spending it on things that may not last?

Touching All the Bases: On Senior Day, a couple of juniors set the table in Lincoln-Way Central's 5-4 10-inning baseball victory over district rival Lincoln-Way East Thursday afternoon in New Lenox. Then, with the bases loaded and nobody out in the bottom of the 10th, senior David Rico drove in the winning run for the Knights with a sacrifice fly to center field.
Junior left-hander Matt Mikolajczak 3.1 innings of scoreless relief to gain the pitching win. He retired 10 of the 11 batters he faced. And fellow junior Grant Bartell started the Knights' game-winning rally with a seeing-eye single the tipped off the glove of Lincoln-Way East second baseman Bobby Kosola and trickled into shallow center. A sacrifice bunt, a throwing error and an intentional walk set the stage for Rico's heroics.
The Knights' baseball family presented a framed No. 19 jersey to the parents of Tommy Schuman during pre-game ceremonies to honor their seniors. Schuman died unexpectedly on March 31.
Patch's MVP: David Rico, senior center fielder, Lincoln-Way Central. He lifted a 1-0 pitch into center field for a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th. Pinch-runner Mike Caria scored from third on the play.
Lincoln-Way East Leaders: Kevin Slawkowski (2-for-5), Bobby Kosola (2-for-3, triple, 1 run, 1 RBI), Dylon Pinto (2-for-5), Evan Bloomfield (1-for-5, 1 RBI), Tommy Fuessel (2-for-4, 1 RBI).
Lincoln-Way Central Leaders: Tommy Charles (1-for-4, double), Rick Amaya (2-for-3, 1 run, 1 RBI), Jack Krull (1-for-3, 2-run homer, 2 RBIs), Grant Bartell (2-for-5).
Quotable I: "I recognized the situation," Lincoln-Way Central's David Rico said. "You just need a deep flyball so the runner on the third would score. That's what I tried to do. And I did it."
Quotable II: "I think it meant a lot, especially with Tommy, knowing how much he would want this," Lincoln-Way Central's Grant Bartell said of the Knights winning on Senior Day after presenting a framed jersey to the parents of Tommy Schuman. "He would have loved to come in a pitch those extra 3-4 innings."
Quotable III: "We did a few things we can't do in the playoffs—that's for sure," Lincoln-Way East coach Paul Babcock said. "A couple things here and there—that's baseball. We've been talking about that all year long."
Team Records: Lincoln-Way Central is 17-14 overall. The Knights finished 7-7 in the Southwest Suburban Blue. Lincoln-Way East is 18-12. The Griffins ended up 8-6 in conference play.
What's Next: Lincoln-Way East plays at Joliet Catholic Academy at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 19, then concludes regular-season play with a game at Andrew on Monday, May 21. Lincoln-Way Central plays at Willowbrook at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 19.

The Who
"Man in a Purple Dress"
Late Show With David Letterman
September 14th, 2006
New York
Pete Townshend And Roger Daltrey's recent acoustic performance of their new song "Man in a Purple Dress" on Late Night with David Letterman was a stunning moment for Who fans. Stripped of their touring band, the duo performed a strangely beautiful new song about the odd fact that judges in the U.K. wear such elaborate costumes. Daltrey's voice has taken on a slight bit of wear and tear, but Townshend's guitar playing has never sounded better. If this is any indication, their new album, Endless Wire, will be worth the twenty-four-year wait.
