1. Most Stunning Revival: Eccentric Ancestor Names
When it comes to 15 act elegies to urban life based on 1861 stage plays, samurai marionettes battling evil clowns, and monkey-shaped casinos that are actually, gulp, giant robots, you can't find a better forum than The Waterloo Festival For Animated Cinema.
Screening 18 films from around the world, the festival — running Nov. 15-18 at Kitchener's Chrysalids Theatre — is promoted, quite impressively, as "one of the most comprehensive public exhibitions for animated feature films it he world'' and the only one that exclusively screens full-length animated features.
But as cynical old-timers are fond of grumbling, that and 10 cents will buy you a cup of coffee.
"These are the Rodney Dangerfield of films,'' jokes curator Joseph Chen, who started the festival 12 years ago to promote animated films outside the Hollywood mainstream.
"Nobody gives them any respect.''
The point, of course, is that they should, and for good reason: unlike the good vs. evil kiddie fare of Tinseltown, these quirky, quixotic emissaries of world cinema push animation in ways that are both challenging and rewarding.
"You're going to see stories of life in there,'' said Chen, whose enthusiasm is contagious. "They're not afraid of the lyrical moments we expect in any art house movie. There are no producers whispering in the ears of these directors, 'You need more laughs!' or 'Film it in 3D!' ''
Case in point: the festival's opening night feature, Wolf Children (6:30 p.m. Thursday), a Japanese drama about a college student who falls in love with, ahem, a wolf man.
"It's one of the most beautiful films you will ever see,'' said Chen, who expects festival attendance of up to 3,500.
"It's ultimately a human story about what happens when he passes away and she as a single mother struggles to raise two kids on her own.''
And then there's The Tragedy of Man (1 p.m. Sunday), a Hungarian film described as "a Faustian story based on a 4,000 line epic poem about light and dark" (and how many of those do you run into at your local multiplex?)
And Heart String Marionette (11:30 p.m. Saturday), from Iceland, in which a samurai marionette fights for love and hate in a "never-ending cyberpunk nightmare."
And Library War: The Wings of Revolution (9 p.m. Saturday), a dystopian tale set in the media-controlled Japan of 2019, where mild-mannered librarians have taken up arms to defend individual freedoms.
"A festival like this is the only means of accessing films like these on a big screen,'' said Chen, confirming many will be North American and even world premieres. "We bring many of these films here for the first time and possibly the last.
"To be able to see visual art like this that's been imbued with life is a real thrill.''
In addition to films, the festival will host musical guests Andrew Currier and Charles Alley III (of Heart String Marionette), along with director GB Hajim and sci-fi author Peter Watts (both of the U.S. feature Strange Frame)
Musical guests include The Short Films (Thursday), Sleeps Six (Friday) and The Damn Truth (Sunday).
All screenings will be held at The Chrysalids Theatre, 137 Ontario Street.
Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for students and seniors, $8 for kids 17 and under, with festival passes on sale for $50 (youth), $60 (student/senior) and $75 (adult).

Quote: A nice sketch, has a good feeling to it but it'd feel more "authentic" to me if the stars - no matter how few - were drawn manually at the eyepiece.
Quote: In countries such as mine when during the summer you cannot observe and the cloudy nights are many... you need to optimize everything
Quote: In my view, there's no need sketch all the stars visible at the eyepiece but only the brightest ones for example.
Quote:I disagree. While I haven't drawn *every* little star visible while working on the sketches I've posted recently, I have added some of the fainter ones close to the galaxies, at least if they were involved in the galaxy. When I worked without preprinted star fields, I drew *every* star I saw in the field. I think omitting them is a serious error, especially if they're close to the galaxy - what if one of them was a supernova?
Quote:My problem exactly! The summer twilight nights start tomorrow and in two weeks time, there will be no more galaxy observing until August.
Quote: But for me, summer is time to relax and take few months away from entire hobby and focus completely on something else. One can of course take a few weeks off work and visit Canary Islands or something for some serious star gazing if the withdrawal symptom get too bad
Quote: The little island you're on seems quite a good place to observe. Might give it a go some time, must be a lovely place!

Most lesson plans follow the same basic formula: lecture students on new material in class, allow time for questions from students, have students apply those lessons through homework.
But some teachers at Flint Hill School are embracing technology to mix up the traditional teaching method with a "flipped classroom," or assigning podcast lectures for homework then applying the lessons during the school days.
Spearheading the effort at the Oakton private school is chemistry teacher Kim Duncan, who has been hearing about this teaching approach for years. When Flint Hill launched its , which provides each student with a MacBook Air, Duncan knew the time to flip her classroom had come.
She and three other Flint Hill teachers attended a conference last summer in Colorado hosted by Jon Bergmann and Aaron Sams, who pioneered the Flipped Classroom Movement, to get tips on how to transform her lesson plans in a way that takes advantage of what technology has to offer.
"I really think trying to keep their attention through a lecture is almost impossible these days because they're so accustomed to having so many stimuli. With a flipped classroom, the kids can watch a podcast of me giving my lecture on their own time. They can pause me, rewind me, or even watch me in double-time like one of my students does," Duncan laughed. "The point is, they hear the lesson the way they need to hear it and come into class the next day ready to apply it."
Duncan gives her students a worksheet they need to fill out as they watch the 20- to 30-minute podcast, then allows a question-and-answer period at the beginning of each class to make sure everyone understands. The rest of their time in class is conducting experiments or working on what would have been homework in a traditional classroom setting.
Duncan has no hard data to show the flipped classroom is more effective on her students, but she thinks the midterm results this year demonstrate it certainly is not less effective: This year's honors chemistry students scored higher than last year's on the midterm, which had the same questions except the six extra ones she added because the classes were able to get deeper into the curriculum.
"I do think we got further into the curriculum because of the flipped classroom," Duncan said. "The kids are able to take the lectures at their own pace, so they can work out a lot of the questions they would have asked in class on their own rather than using up classtime and making the lectures twice as long."
She also said the podcasts help cut down on committing her own teaching mistakes: "The videos are the same for all the honors courses, so one class won't suffer from my own forgetfulness after repeating the lessons several times in one day."
So far, the teaching method has garnered no complaints and plenty of compliments among her students.
"I do think it helps to have [Mrs. Duncan] right there while we're doing what would previously be considered homework," said 10th-grader Zack Thornburg, 16.
Sarah Kashef, also a 10th-grader, finds the flipped classroom valuable.
"I personally love it. Chemistry is really elaborate and complex, and when we're listening at home we can rewind it to try to understand it better or pause it if it's too much at once," said the 15-year-old. "If we had to hear the lecture in class it would be boring. I like that we come in and do experiments and stuff because I think you learn better than with lectures."
Both students said they did not want to see the flipped classroom applied to math courses, but Duncan believes math is well-suited for the format.
Thornburg and Kashef said they feel like being able to ask questions during a math lesson is integral to the learning process more than in most courses.
"At that conference last summer we talked to kids whose entire science department had a flipped classroom and they all said they wished their math classes were, too," said Duncan, surprised her students felt that way. "I think it would be very applicable in math. And Flint Hill has some history teachers using podcasts to get some basic information out so they can take more class time for discussion."
Duncan has flipped her honors chemistry courses, leaving her regular and AP lesson plans in tact for the time being. She plans to flip the regular courses next year, and the AP courses after the curriculum is changed in 2013.
Because the podcasts are posted as soon as Duncan finishes taping them, she sees the flipped classroom having a greater benefit for students in her regular courses.
"In regular classes you have a more diverse group. The kids can access the lessons once they're posted, even if we haven't reached that point yet," Duncan said. "It's more of a differentiated way of teaching."
As for her workload, Duncan has seen an increase because she's revamping all her lesson plans and taking the time to video the lectures. But she expects the workload to drastically decrease once she's taped all the lessons.
"I'll adjust some things over the summer, but after that I think having a flipped classroom will really help my workload," Duncan said.
The Flipped Classroom Movement celebated its first World Flipped Classroom Day on Jan. 30, encouraging teachers who use the format to invite parents, teachers and members of the media into the classroom.

Back in 2004 I lead a Hiking Club expedition up Crinkle Crags in the Lake district. Here are some of the photos from that day. The picture above shows the Crinkle Crags in profile against the sky.
When we got to the top of the neck between Bowfell and Crinkle Crags we were rewarded by a great view west towards Scafell (on the left) and (Scafell Pike on the right). This is the only time I have ever seen Scafell cloudless despite climbing up most of the hills around here.
On our descent bands of sunlight would slide across the landscape, looking almost like it was being scanned by some alien spacecraft. The Langdale Pikes (above) caught the light wonderfully as the afternoon wore on.
All in all it was one of the really pleasant days, where the walk wasn't too strenuous and the weather offered good views. Its days like this one that make you want to return.

Dr. Chris Steele is the "resident doctor" on the popular ITV This Morning programme. He appeared on the very first show twenty years ago and still appears each week. Chris who qualified as a doctor in l968 also writes for both Woman magazine and Top Sante. Perhaps more than any other clinician, Dr Chris had pioneered the use of the television and internet mediums to inform and educate the general public on a whole range of health matters, including having his own skin cancer removed live on the This Morning show. When it comes to skin cancer Dr Chris openly admits he made a few mistakes as a teenager. 'I used to have terrible acne when I was about 16. My mother bought a little sun lamp which was just like a bulb. I read the instructions and it said, "On first use, sit in front of it for two minutes." I sat in front of it for 20 minutes thinking it would be better! I burnt my face and was covered in blisters the next morning. I also used to have a sunbed and we'd have holidays where I'd lie in the sun all day long – all before we knew sun exposure caused skin cancer. I didn't think I was doing anything wrong. But children and teenagers should never burn, because burning at that age puts you at high risk of skin cancer 40 years on.' And so it was, 40 years later, when Dr Chris was 56, that he sat in the This Morning studio, again live on air, and had his skin cancer removed from his face. 'I had a great chunk cut out of my cheek – like a crater!' Once he had learned of the aims and objectives of the charity, Chris was very keen to get involved and helps Skcin to raise skin cancer awareness nationwide.
Gary Wolstenholme is England's most capped amateur golfer and has played more than 200 times for Enbland in no less that six Walker Cup matches, a remarkable record. Gary turned professional at the age of 47 and shot a round of 63 to win a EuroPro Tour event at the age of 49. On turning 50 Gary finished third in his first outing on the European Seniors Tour, the Travis Perkins Masters at Woburn and won on only his second outing on the European Seniors Tour at the Casa Serena Open. Gary won Rookie of the year in 2011 on the Seniors tour and has already had two tour victories in 2012.
Gary has strong views on the need to create a greater awareness of the dangers of over exposure to the sun and is a stanch supporter of Skcin.
He helps to spread the word on sun safety and skin cancer, as he competes at home and abroad. Gary now also sports the Skcin logo on the collar of his playing shirts to raise the profile of the charity and the disease.

MERCED — Graduate student Ryan Lucas is living a mountain-lovers dream through his research.
As part of engineering Professor Martha Conklins meadows-hydrology lab, he gets to spend a lot of time in the Sierra Nevada at Yosemite and Sequoia-Kings Canyon national parks, collecting data on how much water is flowing through the meadows, how its moving and by what process. Meadows are important to the ecosystem, providing food, water and habitat for many creatures.
I grew up on the coast, but Ive always been a hiker and skier, said Lucas, who earned his bachelors degree at the University of California at Santa Barbara.
He worked as an environmental consultant for a few years until deciding an advanced degree would expand his options.
Lucas applied to the masters program at UC Merced on a whim, knowing little about the newest UC campus. He was scheduled to look at the campus with a bioengineering professor, but two weeks before his visit Lucas got an email from Professor Roger Bales suggesting Lucas look at his lab and the Sierra Nevada Research Institute, too.
He said he wasnt concerned with the size or the newness of UC Merced, but he was excited by its location.
I came here because of the research and because the Sierra Nevada would be my laboratory, Lucas said. And its right next door.
Lucas said he will defend his masters thesis before the end of this year, and has applied to the doctorate program. He hopes to become a professor when hes finished.
A career with a heavy teaching load is definitely in my future, Lucas said. I really enjoy it.
Regents Scholarships for exceptional students
Stephanie Gamboa was so worried about money that she considered enrolling in community college.
But those financial worries disappeared once Gamboa learned shed been awarded a UC Merced Regents Scholarship. The scholarship bridges any gap between financial aid and parental contributions, assuring each recipient that they can afford an education at UC Merced.
I was really concerned about going to college, said Gamboa, an undeclared freshman from Oxnard. My mom is going to National University and has taken out loans. So I was very excited to get the scholarship.
This year, 28 incoming UC Merced students received that good news joining 31 continuing students who have the scholarships. The university will disburse about $500,000 this year in Regents Scholarships, which are one of the highest honors awarded to undergraduate students.
The Regents Scholarship is designed to recruit the best and brightest students to our campus, said Diana Ralls, director of financial aid and scholarships at UC Merced.
While the criteria can vary slightly from year to year, officials consider factors such as academic performance, leadership and extracurricular activities in choosing scholarship recipients.
All entering UC Merced students are considered for the awards, which range from $7,000 to more than $30,000 annually. Recipients must maintain full-time status and a 3.25 GPA to retain the scholarship for four years, or two years for transfer students.
Its easy to see how Gamboa made the cut. Aside from her 4.2 GPA (including honors classes) in high school, she was active in water polo, prepared speaking and a variety of clubs.
Other recipients of Regents Scholarships are equally impressive. Eduardo Hernandez, a freshman from Bakersfield, posted a 4.38 GPA (including honors and advanced placement classes) in high school and was active in clubs and sports.
A devoted community volunteer, he helped make food baskets for the needy, read to children and worked at fundraising events such as school carnivals.
Hernandez said he was pleasantly surprised to receive the UC Merced Regents Scholarship.
I ended up not having to pay anything, he said. And Im getting a world-class education.

Fruit cakes is the combination of simple and complicated baking strategies. Since then, these delectable fruit cakes have been made in lots of warm celebrations. The nice thing about fruit cakes is that they are nutritious. With just one bite, you'll taste lots of flavors. Apart from some other cakes, the best fruit cakes don't make use of numerous cream and butter. These heavy, moist and dense fruit cakes are jam packed with ingredients like spices, dried or candied fruits and nuts. The dried fruits and nuts are typically soaked in alcohol to conserve the savory taste. Brandy is the one of the typical options. The butter content have to be less than the fruits and nuts. The butter is only integrated to hold the cake together. Other places serve fruit cakes in a different way. Some would ice it first just before designing. There are many kinds of fruitcakes available.
Fruit cakes can be created as dark and light. Light is the preferred word since the ingredients utilized in creating one are light in color. Light colored ingredients are golden raisins, pineapple, apricots, apple and granulated sugar. On the other hand, hand dark fruit cakes are made with dark colored ingredients like brown sugar, molasses, nuts and prunes. A good example of dark colored fruits are prunes, dates, cherries, pecans and walnuts.
Fruit cakes should be prepared ahead of time just before you serve them. In addition to that, you could have these cakes saved for about 4 to 5 months in case you have a cool and dry facility. One month is the least time period of their storage prior to serving them. It's because fruit cakes won't age because they are frozen. Low temperatures are essential in making fruit cakes. In order to avoid the cake from burning during the baking process, you must line the baking pan with wax paper or brown paper. On top of that, to avoid the cake from drying up, a pan of hot water must be put under the baking pan.
King cakes From what its name means, King Cakes are dished up during a Christian festival called epiphany. It is the re-enactment of the time when Jesus was presented to the three kings. An epiphany festival with no king cake isn't complete. King cakes are created with a small trinket; which is most of the time, a small plastic baby is used to signify Jesus. The trinket is placed in the cake. This baby trinket is considered to be a good luck charm. Moreover, the individual who will get the trinket will receive some privilege to be the queen or king of the night. Being a royalty provides you a chance to select your partner from the crowd to help you rule.
Trinkets is available in numerous various colors. The colors depend upon your choice; they can either be brown, purple, green or gold. But the most frequent trinkets are colored pale or pink like the color of a real baby. In the normal tradition, king cake could be eaten between the 6th of January and the end of the Mardi Gras Day . You may also create it with various flavors. And you can use your creativity to create it with unique shapes. Just don't forget to put the trinket within the cake. Doing this will actually make the celebration much more memorable.

Do you know where your food comes from? Here're some hints – it's not the local burger joint, the freezer or a can.
Jacksonville High School senior and videographer Brackston McKnight can not only tell you-- he can show you. The 18-year-old won this year's Nation-al Ag Day video contest with his stop-motion video starring a pint-sized cast of Lego people.
The theme for this year's National Ag Day, and video contest, is "Agriculture: 365 Sunrises and 7 Billion Mouths to Feed."
McKnight had to illustrate within the content of his video "how today's growers are overcoming challenges to provide a safe, stable food supply and sustain the significant role agriculture plays in everyday life," contest guidelines.
"I always played with Legos as a kid, and I still collect certain sets," the JHS senior said with a laugh. "That sort of just inspired me to express (the contest's theme) with Legos."
Contest participants had the option to enter the via written essays or videos.
McKnight said he chose to enter a video because, "I thought this project was better served in video and I have some experience in video (editing) already. I do like writing, I just thought a video would convey the message the best."
The teen wrote, designed, directed, narrated and produced every aspect of the two-minute video, which can be viewed at the website, http://www.agday.org.
He said while some of the props he used were pre-designed, a lot of pieces had to be custom designed and built.
The most time consuming part, McKnight said, was building the backgrounds and other set pieces, which he said he pieced together using various blocks from Lego's "starter kits," collections of all different sized and shaped blocks the toy brand offers.
"Some pieces, like the tractor, I had to build myself," McKnight said. "The toughest part of the project, I'd have to say, was the opening sun-rise scene. I had to take it apart four or five times to do it, and the lighting effects (which he used a flashlight to produce) were tricky – I just wanted to get it perfect.
"Setting up the people took some time -- they kept falling over and stuff, and editingtiming the sound with the video was time-comsuming too."
In all, McKnight said from conception to finished product, making his video took two weeks, working on parts of the project a couple hours each day. With his award-winning video, his FFA presidential duties, a horticulture project for the upcoming annual Youth Livestock Show and his FFA project – a greenhouse operation that sells bedding plants to farmers – it comes as no surprise the teen plans to major in agri-business management in college.
"I've always been interested in ag," he said. "My dad's a contractor but we've always had a garden at home."
McKnight won a $1,000 prize and the opportunity to have his video screened during the Celebration of Ag dinner, held in Washington D.C. each year on National Ag Day.
"I was so surprised when I learned I won," he said with a laugh. "I mean, I was pretty confident. I like the video, but you know how it is – there's always someone who just did it better. Today I was that guy."
According to the Agriculture Council of America's website, www.agday.org, this year is the 41st anniversary of Ag Day, which will be held this year on March 25 as part of National Ag Week, March 23-29.
"Each American farmer feeds more than 144 people… a dramatic increase from 25 people in the 1960s," the Ag Day website states.
"Agriculture provides almost everything we eat, use and wear on a daily basis. But too few people truly understand this contribution. This is particularly the case in our schools, where students may only be exposed to agriculture if they enroll in related vocational training. By building awareness, the Agriculture Council of America is encouraging young people to consider career opportunities in agriculture."
Which is growing in importance, as the results of a government census of American agriculture released earlier this month suggests.
According to the Associated Press, the number of U.S. farms is declining even as the value of their crops and livestock has increased.
The survey, taken every five years, reported a total of 2.1 million farms in the U.S. in 2012 – down just over 4 percent from 2007 – continuing a long-term trend of declining numbers of farms.
One possible cause of the drop in farms is today's farmers are aging.
According to the census, a third of farmers were older than 65 in 2012.
"The reality is, over time those folks won't be able to continue farming, and the question for all of us is, if they don't, who will?" Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told the Associated Press after the report was released.

Patch stopped by the girls varsity lacrosse practice and spoke with defensive captain Amber Andino, 18, about her lacrosse career and her plans for the future.
Pasadena Patch: You have been on the varsity lacrosse team for three years. What is one of your favorite memories?
Amber Andino: My favorite memory is pretty much practice every day. We have a really good time [at practice]. We are kind of a joking and fun team, but we are still serious in the right moments. This is my favorite team to play with out of all of the sports teams I have been with; we just get along so well. It's a good group.
Pasadena Patch: What other groups or activities do you participate in at Northeast?
Andino: I play varsity soccer for Northeast. I am also in a few clubs. I am in the Young Democrats Club. I am also in Interact club, where we go out and do things for needy people in the community. It is fun to help everyone else out.
Pasadena Patch: What do you like best about Northeast High School?
Andino: The kids are really good here. It isn't really a lot of cliques like most people think are in high school. We all communicate well when necessary. No one is afraid to say something to someone else and I like that. We aren't shy and timid we are outgoing and will talk to anyone.
Pasadena Patch: How is the season going so far?
Andino: I think our season is going really well. We have made a lot of improvements over the last year; and a lot of other coaches, parents and referees have seen us progress. It is a really positive way to end—in terms of having more wins this year than we have in the past.
Pasadena Patch: You are a senior, so what are your plans for next year?
Andino: I am going to the University of Maryland, College Park for the pre-med program. I want to major in biochemistry and I want to be a neurologist or a neurosurgeon. I'm aiming high!
In case you missed it, here is . Check back on Monday for another inside look at the members of the Northeast varsity girls lacrosse team.

She goes about her job waitressing with the efficiency of one who takes pride in her work, approaching my table with coffee pot in hand, already having placed my order as I walked through the door.
"Luci" goes about her workday mostly unsung, with few extrinsic rewards beyond the occasionally generous tip or the patron who asks after her and her family, and not merely the daily special.
I first noticed the not-quite-full cup she poured shortly after I'd crossed the threshold from occasional to "regular."Not filling the cup didn't strike me as consistent with her normal detail. I dismissed it as unimportant and returned to my newspaper.
Subsequently, she did it again, deftly pouring it to precisely the same level as before. The light bulb finally went off. Lily was leaving room for the cream she observed me using, precisely as that expensive New York restaurant waiter had done years ago, noticing my left-handedness and placing the cup appropriately. I found myself pondering this thoughtful detail performed right under my nose every day of the week.
This was, indeed, Important, and it brought to mind all those we take for granted. The inclement weather recently reminds us of the many people upon whom we depend. The plumber in knee-deep water fixing frozen pipes, the wind chill-braving lineman repairing blown electrical transformers, the efficient little waitress at work by 4 AM to have coffee ready for those of us lucky enough to have her do it for us.
I wondered how many times in the past I had taken such people for granted, casually accepting their efforts without noticing? I wondered how often the Luci's wonder if anyone ever really does notice, or care?
There's an art to any job, no matter how simple it seems. Luci's practiced flip of the wrist pouring the coffee on her way to the next table is a kind of ballet performed on a stage few applaud when done well, and everyone jeers when not. Even the simplest of jobs has a certain style if done efficiently and well. Leaving room for cream is not only thoughtful, I expect it's efficient, leaving fewer spills, or requiring fewer trips back to the kitchen to pour off excess beverage.
I recalled how my own mother seemed to know the name of all the children of the wait staff she and my Dad met in the course of their afternoons out. I was with them once when Mom presented a small gift to a young server whose wife just gave birth to their first child. Years later, this same young man, now restaurant manager, proudly displayed his grown son's cap-and-gown photo to my then elderly, widowed mom, after he personally escorted us to a choice table. Mom did it naturally and people never forgot her.
One morning, I said "Luci I've noticed how you always fill the cup at precisely the same level about an inch or so below the rim. I'll bet you do that to leave room for cream, right?"
Her surprised look told me I was right. With a slight nod and broad smile she dashed off to the next table, ever-mindful of other customers awaiting her efficient ministrations. Was it my imagination, or did I notice a brighter step in her pace as she did so?
The People Who Really Make The World Go 'Round are everywhere, and should not be forgotten. It takes so little to look someone directly in the eyes with "Thank you!"
I vowed not to overlook this simple courtesy or the people who make my life easier because of what they do. And this is one Resolution I won't give up for Lent!

I have always maintained that you can learn a great deal by watching how someone treats the table help!
We've all known numerous people who are rather rude and dismissive to table waiters and restaurant support staff. Invariably and without exception I have discovered that such self-centered and demanding people are also short-sighted and frankly, just not very nice.
Someone should point out to these self-absorbed snobs that many novelists, judges, doctors, teachers and scientists of tomorrow are working as waiters TODAY!

It never hurts to be a little nicer to those in the service industries. If you get great service from a waitress/waiter, why not throw down an extra Lincoln even if the tab is only $10? It's only $5 more, it will guarantee you get good service again, and you will brighten that person's day. Nothing wrong with that. On the same token, if the place isn't busy and the service is still lousy, I've been known to leave a few pennies to send a message. Only once it my life have I ever gone back and gotten the same person again. She did remember, apologized, and then gave me superior service for which I tipped her handsomely.
The follow-on to that story is that I went back every day for almost three months. Thirteen months later we got married! Now I wait on her!

comment from Lee Silvanreplied to a
My first two roommates in life were waitresses. I was amazed at some of the stuff they had to put up with in the course of their jobs. I don't know if I would have been so tolerant. Maybe that's why I became a writer (among other things). I daresay working with people as they did required, at times a Higher Level of Consciousness, not to mention tolerance. I say turn the Organizational charts upside down and put the people who REALLY do the work "on top."
Thanks for writing, Lee.

I enjoyed this article very much although I never worked as a waitress. I was first a Nursing Assistant 40-some years ago and always tried to treat my nursing home patients as I would family. My sister and I meet each week for lunch and have a "special waitress friend" who calls us The Sisters and always knows what we order and I have heard her tell the cook, "The sisters are here, you can fix the crepes." It is always the little things that count and that are remembered. Nora does a great job and we always feel appreciative, and hope she feels appreciated by us. I know there are days that she has some tough customers to deal with and I hope we make her feel better. I know I remember each time a patient's family appreciated the little extras I could do for their relative. It gave me a special good feeling that I could help make someone feel better. It never hurts to treat someone as you would like to be treated yourself.

Ah yes.....the folks who take care of those who need taking care of. I'm seeing that right now with my brother-in-law (Alzheimer's). The nursing staff, attendants, et al, are wonderful people. They have to put up with so much difficulty, hardship. I admire them so much, and am grateful for the fact they exist, doing what they do.
You hit the nail on the head: treating others as you would hope to be treated.

Hi Kathryn,
I just want to say how sorry I am about your brother-in-law. My mother had Alzheimer's for several years before she passed away, and it's so hard for everyone, including the patient (until the don't know any more). Sadly, my mother, having been an RN forever, knew exactly what was happening for quite a while and it was her worst fear realized. For that reason, it was almost a blessing when she didn't know what was going on around her anymore. My prayers are with you and your family.

Thanks ML...
Alzheimer's is the worst. I'm sorry about your mom. But, as you say, once the patient gets to the point where they don't recall, it's better for them. My brother-in-law isn't quite there yet, and it's a very difficult thing for the family as well as you know.
It was one of the reasons I wrote this particular article, as well. The health care staff that care for him are Heroes too. The endure so much, are so patient and caring. We owe these people, all of them, a debt of such gratitude.
Thanks for writing.

Passover is a major Jewish holiday and festival that commemorates the Exodus from Egypt more than 3,000 years ago. This eight-day observance, which begins this year on the evening of April 18, centers on a service and meal held in the home. The rituals are both include filled with rituals, readings, prayers, songs and special foods.
During the week of Passover, Jews adhere to the prohibition of eating leavened products foods and grains, which include breads and legumes, in order to commemorate the haste with which they left Egypt. When Pharaoh finally said the Israelites were freed from slavery and could leave Egypt, they did not have time to wait for their loaves of bread to rise. The unleavened bread of matzoah symbolizes this quick departure.
Since it can be a challenge to create meals that don't include any types of leavening, grains or legumes, here are the Passover Patch Pick recipes for your dining pleasure. The best thing about these recipes…they taste just like their non-Passover cousins!

You'd expect that a Bugatti-branded blender would follow the lead of its Veyron sibling, with enough power to liquefy concrete. Unfortunately, the Bugatti Vela 3-speed blender is not the kitchen countertop equivalent of a 1001 horsepower supercar that accelerates like a GSX-R. What, then, is the point of dropping a third of a grand on something that doesn't even have the power of the $60 Oster "Beehive" blender that's been in production since the Pleistocene?
Design. So what if the 450 watt motor is only about half a horsepower? The Vela is a decidedly modernist way to mix up your morning smoothie or evening mudslide. Looking super-smart in chrome (red is available, too), the style is elemental and bold. A lack of frippery brings a fresh look to an item that's so often shaped like a plastic lump sprouting buttons. That said, if we were looking for high power, the wheezy Vela wouldn't even make the best blenders list. Not when you can get the Vita-Mix 5200, sporting a full 1500 watts - that's two horsepower, folks - for about a hundred bucks more than the Bug's $350 list price. Since most any blender will work, the Bugatti Vela begs the question, what price, fashion? Thanks for the tip, Ed.

School struggles with enrollmentDecember 27,2013School struggles
with enrollment
ROCHESTER One of Vermonts smallest K-12 schools is trying to transform itself to attract more students as townspeople prepare to discuss its future and the state weighs whether to disband the supervisory union that oversees the school.
School officials, staff and students at the Rochester School want to continue operating a high school, but the number of students is so small the course offerings are limited and per student spending is high.
The Valley News reported that residents will discuss the school Jan. 13 and then vote the next day on a non-binding referendum on whether to continue to operate a high school or cut back to grades K-8. The school currently has 147 students, with 55 in high school.
Principal Catherine Knight is leading a thorough reorganization of the school, creating three academies that will focus on technology, the performing arts and sustainability. She says the school doesnt have the teachers or the classes but it can be more creative.
Its a beautiful little school and we have some amazing attributes, Knight said.
Rochester, a town of 1,100, is located along Route 100 amid the Green Mountains.
The Vermont Board of Education voted recently to put off until June a vote on whether to dissolve the Windsor Northwest Supervisory Union and assign its six towns to other districts.MORE IN This Just InBRATTLEBORO — Police in Brattleboro say three men have been taken into custody following a...

One involved an East Brunswick sixth-grader who called out a classmate in gym for "dancing like a girl."
The other involved a fourth-grader in Tenafly who embarrassed a classmate for having head lice.
In the first legal cases to go the distance under New Jersey's tough new law, both episodes have been upheld by the state as incidents of bullying and harassment.
Parents of the accused students had appealed the initial findings by the local districts. But state Education Commissioner Chris Cerf this month upheld the schools' determinations in each instance, the first such rulings by the commissioner under the state's Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights.
Legal experts said there will surely be more such cases to come.
"It takes a while for them to work through the system, but you'll certainly see more," said Phil Stern, an attorney with Adams Stern Gutierrez & Lattiboudere in Newark, who represents school boards in these and other cases.
Stern said he was not surprised by the appeals, each focusing more on the findings than on any particular penalty. Nor was he surprised by the outcomes, with Cerf largely required only to determine if the process was properly followed.
"You will have a super uphill battle in one of these cases by the time you come before the commissioner," he said.
The 2011 law requires that schools follow specific procedures and timelines in all cases of even alleged bullying, stipulating when investigations must be launched and resolved with formal findings.
The new law has roiled school districts since its enactment, with more than 13,000 incidents reported by schools in the law's first year. A state task force monitoring the law's implementation this week praised the increased awareness of bullying in schools, but also recommended more flexibility be given principals to determine what cases are to be formally investigated.
But that was long after each of these first cases moved through the process, two cases that highlighted some of the tensions that have arisen surrounding the law and its aftermath.
In East Brunswick, for instance, the incident took place in November 2011, when the accused child insulted his classmate by calling him "gay" and saying he "danced like a girl," according to the case's legal record.
The school investigated the claim, interviewing the students and witnesses, and found that under the district's anti-bullying policies -- now strengthened under the state's new law -- it warranted a finding of bullying. The boy was given three days of detention.
The parents appealed to the state, demanding that the finding be reversed and damages paid. They also asked that the accusing student be given three days of detention.
The case went to an administrative law judge, who found that the case had fallen under the definition as laid out in the new law as "verbal acts motivated by distinguishing characteristics, i.e. gender and sexual orientation."
"A.C. [the accused] is not a chronic troublemaker, but his actions were hurtful and unkind," read a synopsis of Cerf's decision. "The school district's response of assigning him to detention was designed to redirect A.C.'s behavior in a manner that was consistent with his age and that recognized this was a first offense."
Cerf, who is an attorney, has the responsibility in these matters to only determine that the local agency had not acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner, and he did so.
"As [the new law] directs that each school directs that each school district's anti-bullying policy shall contain 'consequences and appropriate remedial action for a person who commits an act of harassment, intimidation or bullying,' [the board] did not act arbitrarily, capriciously or unreasonably in imposing upon A.C. three days of detention as discipline for his conduct," Cerf wrote.

Columbus State University has added access to about 1,100 journals through a globally shared digital library called JSTOR.
As a result, CSU's Schwob Memorial Library now has access to all of JSTOR's arts and sciences collections, the university announced in a news release.
"It's a massive amount of scholarship, scholarly information, that can be used for undergraduate research, graduate research, faculty research, for the whole university community," CSU dean of libraries Mark Flynn said in the release.
CSU already was a JSTOR subscriber, with a recurring cost of $19,500, Flynn said. Now, CSU will pay $39,975 for access to JSTORs more than 2,000 titles, boosting the universitys total virtual library to approximately 14,000 online scholarly journals, he said.
This expansion will enhance the CSU's ability to serve students and faculty on its main and RiverPark campuses and through 20 online courses that are fully distance learning, Flynn said.
According to its website, JSTOR is a not-for-profit organization, headquartered in New York, and founded in 1995 to help university and college libraries clear shelf space and save money while providing their users more content.

Republicans Reject Job Creation & Middle Class Tax Cuts
By ThePresidentialCandidates.US on Sep 17, 2011 | In Features | 2 Comments
The Republicans in the House have rejected President Obama's American Jobs Act which would have created 1.9 million new American jobs and was going to give all working people a tax cut (via a payroll tax cut: unlike millionaire tax cuts – payroll tax cuts boost the economy.)
While Republicans often talk about tax cuts, this blockage of middle class tax cuts makes clear; the GOP is only concerned about tax cuts that help millionaires, not average Americans.
Meanwhile; President Obama is set to propose the "Buffett Rule" which would ensure that all millionaires pay at least as much in taxes as average Americans do.
The President's new rule for tax fairness is named after Warren Buffett, one of the richest men in the world, because of his jaw dropping revelation that his secretary pays a higher tax rate than he does.
The lines are drawn clearly; The Republicans are on the side of the millionaires & billionaires, the same millionaires & billionaires who are responsible for driving our country into the worst economic times since the 1930s. President Obama and the Democratic Party are on the side of average Americans.
Middle class Americans who foolishly support the Republican Party are voting for their own extinction. Trickle down economics do not work. It's time to give economic fairness a try.

Around 30 kids will have to opportunity to experience a 2-week police academy boot camp through the this summer.
The Freehold Borough Youth Police Academy runs from 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. every weekday from July 23 through Aug. 3. The program is free and open to local students age 12 to 16-years-old.
"It is just like the real police academy," explained Steppat. "This is not your average summer camp. The kids will learn how to march and if the don't do it right, they will have to do push-ups. Drill sergeants will yell in their face."
The program is open to all kids who live in the borough, not just those with aspirations to become a cop. According to Steppat, the program offers a life lesson of working hard and achieving your goals.
"What I think is the most important part about the academy is that the kids learn teamwork and to never give up," said Steppat. "It's really tough and the sense of accomplishment the kids feel when they graduate is something they will never forget."
During the two weeks, participants will learn from a variety of law enforcement agencies from the local to federal level. The students will spend the mornings at the police department where they will learn about law enforcement and the afternoons at the where they will be given demonstrations and participate in a variety of activities. Some of the experiences participants will have are the following:
- Forensics Team: What is real and what is CSI?
- Participate in Mock Arrests (Some Drivers get nasty!)
- Bomb Dog Demo
- Monmouth County Swat Team where they will demo how to blow-up a door and simulate a take-over
- State Police Helicopter
- Mock Raid where participants will wear all protective police gear including shields
In addition to the exciting law enforcement demonstrations, the participants will also receive physical training.
"In the age of video games and laptops, some of these kids have never even run a mile in their entire life," said Steppat. "During their time with us, we will do physical training and prepare them to run what I call the Miracle Mile. At the end of the camp, the kids will run together down the center of town."
Participants are required to complete the full two-week program, which ends with a in front of over 200 people. The program supplies uniforms, lunches, real FBPD ID tag, photos to document participation and a video of highlights from the camp.
Applications are due on June 8. You can download an application on the Freehold Borough Police Department website. If more than 30 kids apply, participants will be chosen through a lottery system.
This is the 5th year that the borough police are hosting this program. The program started 4-years ago with funding from The Great Grant which promoted education and training. The following 3 years, the program was supported by the JAG grant.
Now, in its 5th year, there is no outside funding for the program. "Officers and the PBA give back by helping out without taking full-pay for the hours they put in," explained Steppat. "We are not getting any extra money, we are just doing it because we know how important this program is."
The department also hosts clothing drives to fundraise for the program. Local businesses like Sorrento's Subs and Stefano's Pizza also donate lunch for the program. The borough council has also showed their support of the program by offering some available funding.
If you are interested in supporting this program through donations or fundraisers, contact Sergant Ronnie Steppat at 732-462-1234 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Step Outside Your Life: How Curiosity Is Good for You
Curiosity Cured the Cat
The benefits of having a lively, curious mind fully engaged by the world are both plentiful and diverse. Curious people tend to be more open-minded, more confident, better at problem solving, and more successful at their jobs. Perhaps the best bonus of all? They actually live longer, says Gary E. Swan, PhD, director of the Center for Health Sciences at SRI International, a Menlo Park, California, scientific research center. Even when such risk factors as cancer, cardiovascular disease, smoking, and high blood pressure are taken into account, the most curious adults -- measured on a psychological scale called the State-Trait Personality Inventory -- had lower mortality rates than their more stick-in-the-mud peers.
Almost as important as longevity itself is the enhanced quality of life that Dr. Swan's team found among curious elders: They were happier and less prone to depression and anxiety and scored higher on tests of cognitive ability.
"Human beings are social animals and our moods are contagious," explains Kay Redfield Jamison, PhD, a professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and author of Exuberance. "People who are interested in the world tend to be interesting to others. So someone who's curious and energetic draws people to her."
And if these measurable advantages aren't compelling enough, just think about how intrinsically satisfying it is to learn or experience something new. When she's planning a vacation, for example, Shellie Michael, a college professor in Nashville, likes to research her destination in depth. "I learn everything I can -- the history, the culture, the plants and animals there," she says. "It's great -- my vacation before the vacation."
My sister, Lori Renkl, felt the same unexpected boost when she signed up for a belly-dancing class. "I wanted a different kind of exercise," she recalls, "but by the time the first class came around, I wasn't in the mood. I forced myself to go anyway and it turned out to be so much fun! Within 15 minutes I felt 100 percent happier."
Okay, you're convinced: Curiosity didn't kill the cat -- it cured the cat. But that still doesn't solve the time dilemma. The trick, Hall believes, is to treat curiosity like any other item on your to-do list and schedule it in. After a while it becomes second nature to take the time to attend that lecture or visit that museum. And because pursuing these activities feels good, you're more apt to say yes the next time. And the time after that.
"It's like a seedling, with little leaves and roots starting to push out," says Hall. "Once you become more interested in things, wonder starts to emerge in your life, and you'll find that you are more creative and energetic. It's like coming to life again."

There was a piece done by John Hollinger about All-time NBA Franchise Rankings.
Referenced already by dpnim in a fan shot.
So what Hollinger was doing was a comprehensive average of each year the team has been in existence putting emphasis on winning, winning and championships. His rating gave some credit to intangibles but of the teams I was looking at the intangibles only dropped Portland behind Utah and left the other teams I had access to 1-10 unaffected.
Here are the current totals of championships owned by NBA teams
My rating system would put more emphasis on championships because that is all that is important
1. Celtics 2. Lakers 3. Bulls 4. San Antonio 5. 76ers
6. Detroit 7. Golden State 8. Houston 9. Knicks 10. Bullets
11. Portland 12. Heat 13. Seattle 14. Bucks 15. Hawks
With everyone below that as insignificant because they didn't win a championship.
So where do the TrailBlazers end up in 2020?
What kind of wild expectations do we have of the team we have.
I was listening on the Pod cast and they were saying they would be happy with one win in the championship.
They mentioned they thought a nice 5-7 year run might open up.
Assuming Kevin Pritchard is here for the next 11 years what are the expectations on Kevin Pritchard and management to bring in the pieces to keep us winning
Also assuming Nate McMillan is here in 11 years will he become the next Red Auerbach, 10+ championships or the next Rick Adelman good coach no rings (coaching styles aside)
This is hard to predict, but this is more of a estimation.
Obviously some of these teams could end up winning more, the question is will we have more then them more then the actual number.
I personally see us ahead of San Antonio and behind Chicago by the year 2025.

Vintage Holland Transplanter
Anyone in Cub world have any information about them?
I have acquired one....old and rusty...would like to restore. Was used for tobacco setting.
All I ahve ever seen is pitures but here is their current website:
Maybe they can provide some information. I think it would make a great display piece.

Bill Troutman in Labadie MO has a transplanter. I don't know if it is a Holland or not. He may be able to answer some questions for you. He is on this forum occasionally, perhaps he will see this. Or you could send him a private message. His user name is LabadieBill
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
I sent Bill an eamil asking what kind his is, but haven't heard anything back yet. There was a brochure called Allied equipment on Rudi's server that had a picture of Bill's transplanter in it, but I can't find the brochure.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government
to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the
government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." Patrick Henry
I can't find it either. Seems I misplaced it. Will look on the cd's and see if I can find it. If I do, I will upload it tomorrow sometime.
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
I do have a transplanter for a Cub, but it's a Melvin transplanter made by the Powell Manufacturing Company. Mine was in my wife's family and was used to plant sweet potato slips. I plan on bringing it to Cubarama in September. I'll attempt to attach a picture here.
Thanks Bill for the photo. The Cub can do just about everything with the right set-up. The Holland is a 2 seater, parts are rusted but can be repaired. I'll get to talk with Transplant.com Monday and will pass the knowledge on.
Thanks all.
My brothers and I used to fight over who got to ride the transplanter and who had to walk behind to fix any misplants. Tobacco would lay down like it had been stomped and the next day it would perk right up. Wonderful tool.
PS. Every once in a while we would slip in a plant upside down to make the walk behind do a little work!
