Garland has made successful strides toward rectifying finances and tending to struggling funds, an arduous task that has consumed months of time and has not averted residents' pocketbooks. The goal throughout the process, town officials said, has been to make sure everyone is aware and has input on all issues, especially those involving rising cost of services.
Mayor Winifred Murphy said the town was inundated with concerns, complaints and questions regarding hiked water and sewer bills, a matter taken up by the town's Board of Commissioners in detail over the course of numerous meetings earlier this year. Bills reflecting the change were mailed out last week.
"Water bills did go out (last week) and we were slammed (last Wednesday), big time. But we've been talking about this for months. All of a sudden, it's like 'my water bill's going up,'" Murphy said during a recent special meeting. "We are truly trying to involve all the citizens in all the decisions so you can't look back and say 'well, this happened to me.' I want every citizen to feel like the commissioners here in Garland are not making decisions without your knowing about it. That's why we encourage you to attend the meetings and come out and ask questions."
In May, the town boosted its water and sewer rates significantly in an effort to keep the town's fund from sinking. In July, town officials noted that the ongoing audit with independent auditor Scott Bridgers revealed that the fund had improved, allowing the town to come down slightly from the increased rates, but still maintaining a fairly sizable boost to the previous fees.
The state notified the town of "a serious financial weakness in the Water and Sewer Fund, indicating that the water and sewer system may not be sustainable in its current form over the long term." Mike Hill, of the North Carolina Rural Water Association, drove that point home in May, saying raising rates would allow for capital reserve funds to be compiled in case of emergencies in the system.
He pointed to the town's rates — a base water rate of $15.50 for 2,000 gallons and $4.50 for each additional 1,000 gallons — and said the low rates were "killing" the town.
The town responded by increasing the water rate for in-town customers to a flat fee of $12, with a usage rate of $5.25 per 1,000 gallons. For sewer, the in-town customers would pay a flat rate of $20, with a usage rate of $5.70 per 1,000 gallons.
Once Bridgers came back with positive news on the fund, the board voted in July to modify usage rates to $3.50 per 1,000 gallons for water, and $4 per 1,000 gallons for sewer. The flat rates were kept intact. Even though the rates were down from where the board originally voted them in May, the rise still took some residents by surprise. Some were "up in arms" about the hike, the mayor said.
"Once you sit down and talk with the residents, they understand it and they calm down," said Murphy. "We had a man come in here and he was so ugly, but then he came back and apologized to us. Once they understand that we're doing this because we are in the deficit, that we can't keep pumps and wells running — 11,000 gallons cost me $132, my water bill was almost double this month — I tell them that."
She said it is about perspective too, with 25 gallons at the gas pump costing $100, she noted. "And how much would (water) cost you if you went down to the store and bought it a bottle at a time?" Commissioner Ralph Smith offered.
As with any issues, Murphy said communication was key.
"Just come talk to us, become a part of the process, so that they don't feel like we're doing something to hurt them," Murphy said. "Once we can get that message across, I think we'll be OK. We want them on our team, we want them listening, and I think they understand that. Individually, one by one, I think we're making headway."
Murphy said she has told them that months were spent talking with state and local officials, gauging what rates in other municipalities were and doing a good amount of research before coming to the conclusion to modify rates. The mayor lauded town clerk Pam Cashwell with doing a good job of explaining to residents the situation and what brought about the change in rates, from the town's financial condition and the need to bring rates in line with other towns so Garland's services will not be adversely affected.
"We've been sitting and talking with people to help them understand where they were, where they would be if we kept the rates as they were in May, and where they are now," said Murphy. "It wasn't that the water and sewer rates have improved the income, it's just that we feel like we have cut expenditures some that we can ease them into it. We're not seeing a whole lot of revenue. When we looked at (June's) pre-billing and (July's) pre-billing, it was less than $6,000. We're trying to cut costs and we are seeing a little bit more revenue. We're seeing some that we think we can live with."
Audit ongoing, budget in focus
While an independent audit with Bridgers covering the 2011-12 budget is still continuing, the town's budget for 2012-13 is an accurate reflection of Garland's finances.
"The auditor and I are still in the process of our detailed full-year audit," said Cashwell. "I finished the revenue part and we're waiting on him to finish his part. He's found it's a little bit more time-consuming than he anticipated. In the meantime, we have gotten our budget versus actual completely up to date. This is real numbers folks. We are doing it on a daily basis now, so at every meeting you should be able to be given one of these to look at income and expenditures."
Murphy said she was excited about the progress.
"I'm really excited," said Murphy. "Every time I've been saying 'the revenue is not really accurate.' But what you're looking at now is the revenue that has been collected in July, the expenditures are all the checks that have been written for July. We're very, very pleased that we're able to get this fiscal year started out like it should be. That is going to be very helpful in making budgetary decisions and knowing where the money is."
Murphy implored citizens to remain engaged and educated on the town's financial condition, the N.C. STEP grant process and, most recently, the Head Start situation and the push to keep program services in Garland.
"I just want everybody to know that the commissioners here and trying to make things better. We're not sitting around a table as six individuals making decisions that will negatively impact the citizens of Garland," the mayor remarked. "We are trying to make it a better place, but we cannot do it by ourselves. We have to have all the citizens involved, engaged and participating."

ABC Brewpub
Founded 1995
The ABC story began with a home brewing passion that grew into Ann Arbor's first brewpub. In 1995 we purchased the building at 114 Washington, spent the spring rebuilding the space, and opened our doors in July. Over 15 years later, we now encompass three spaces: the original pub, the game room, and a tap room available for private rental.
We believe in serving quality meals that are natural, delicious, and memorable. We strive to do this in an environmentally responsible way through sustainable, locally sourced ingredients. We provide vegetarian and vegan options—but we understand the appeal of a big meaty burger! That's why our menu features a variety of offerings that you can feel great about feeding your family.
We subscribe to the idea that a for-profit company has obligations not only to its investors, but also to its staff and community. We give back by donating to local non-profits, shopping locally, applying sustainable business practices, and serving on local civic and non-profit boards.
Corner Brewery
Founded 2006
When we opened Corner Brewery in 2006 we intended it to be the bottling and distribution hub of our operation, but our community's appetite for a local hang out was undeniable. We expanded our kitchen to offer pub favorites like pizzas, sandwiches, soups, and salads.
Just north of historic Depot Town in Ypsilanti, Corner features a spacious lounge, outdoor beer garden, and covered patio. All this space lends itself to hosting wonderful community events like the indoor farmer's market, The Shadow Art Fair, DiYpsi, and fundraisers for charities like Ozone House, Veterans for Peace, and Greyhound Rescue.
Looking ahead, we plan to increase our brewing capacity and quadruple bottling speed with our 2011 expansion. We've also partnered with students from the University of Michigan on the Green Brewery Project, which focuses on increasing our energy efficiency and reducing our carbon footprint—all while we continue to brew more great beer.
ABC India
Founded 2012
The idea for ABC India started with Gaurav Sikka, a University of Michigan student and frequent ABC Brewpub patron. After graduating and returning to Bangalore, Gaurav contacted our founders with an interest in leading India's emerging craft brewery movement. After an exploratory trip to India, the Greffs signed on as consultants to help build an Arbor Brewing Company modeled after the original ABC Brewpub in downtown Ann Arbor.
As part of their agreement, the Greffs ensured that all pubs opened under the ABC brand meet the same standards for quality, work environment, sustainable business practices, local sourcing, and community involvement that are at the heart of Arbor Brewing Company.
ABC India will brew many of the same recipes we produce here in Michigan. Gaurav plans to launch with selections like Belgian Blonde, No Parking Pilsner, Michael Faricy's Stout, and our flagship Sacred Cow IPA—renamed Raging Elephant IPA for the Indian market.

Steven Curtis Chapman Bio
Acoustic / Pop / Rock / Southern
"The only decent art I've ever created has been out of the overflow of my heart."
Steven Curtis Chapman homepage | Steven Curtis Chapman Facebook | Steven Curtis Chapman MySpace | |
Steven Curtis Chapman YouTube Channel | Steven Curtis Chapman Twitter |
These words spoken humbly by the well-honored artist Steven Curtis Chapman, couldn't be more sincere, or—according to him—accurate. With more than ten million records sold in a career that began in 1987, Steven Curtis Chapman has recorded fifteen projects with Sparrow Records. He's received five GRAMMY awards, an American Music Award, 50 Dove Awards (more than any other artist to date), has recorded 44 No. 1 radio hits as well as numerous other honors. His platinum and gold albums include: Speechless,
Heaven In The Real World, Declaration, Greatest Hits, Music Of Christmas, Signs Of Life, The Great Adventure, More To This Life and For The Sake Of The Call.
All Things New (2004), earned Chapman his fifth GRAMMY award with songs reflecting themes of renewal. On the All Things New tour, Chapman's most successful tour ever, he visited 72 cities and played to nearly 350,000 fans and raised more than two million dollars for the Shaohannah's Hope Foundation.
Most recently, Chapman returned from his groundbreaking international tour where he performed for more than 60,000 in Australia, New Zealand, China, Philippines, Hong Kong, South Korea and Singapore.
Concertgoers will get a glimpse of the new record along with fan favorites when Chapman heads out on the Winter Jam tour and others. His set will feature the up & coming independent group The Following as his band. The talent backing Steven is partially homegrown; two of the members are Chapman's sons, Caleb and Will Franklin, along with friends DJ and Dale Lipscomb.
Born and raised in Paducah, Kentucky, Chapman is married to Mary Beth Chapman and they have six children – Emily, Caleb, Will Franklin, Shaohannah, Stevey Joy and Maria.
It was daughter Emily who, at age 13, persuaded Chapman and his wife to adopt a child from China, after reading about the plight of orphans in that country. "Emily is the one that started it all," says Chapman. "When she was just a teen, she kept trying to persuade my wife and I to look into adoption. We resisted at first, but she wore us down! Now, we look at all she has done and all the joy and happiness she brought to us with her campaign to get us interested in this worthwhile cause."
After the adoption of Shaohannah, Chapman quickly became one of our country's leading advocates for adoption. Chapman and his family have passionately committed themselves to helping orphans worldwide, especially in China where millions of children are waiting and hoping for a new life in a loving home, and in America where nearly one million await homes. To help, the Chapman family has established Shaohannah's Hope, an organization to provide information and financial grants to families who desire to adopt.
"It's a foundation we started, named after our daughter, the first of our three adopted daughters from China," says Chapman. Her name is a combination of Chinese words that mean: laughter and gift of God." Says Chapman, "There were so many families who we spoke with after we got home from China with Shaohannah who told us they thought about adoption or they really felt impressed to do it, but once they investigated it they found the financial burden overwhelming. A Chinese adoption can cost $18,000 to $20,000, and a Russian adoption is even more expensive. Domestic adoption can be really expensive too, depending on the situation. So, we had all these families saying, 'We can't afford that.' And that was where Shaohannah's Hope began, knowing that there are children waiting to be adopted and families wanting to adopt them, but the costs were overwhelming."
So far, the organization has been able to provide assistance grants helping to make possible the placement of over 1,000 orphans in families. For their efforts as leading supporters for adoption, in 2001 Chapman and his wife were named the "Angel in Adoption," an award given by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption for their advocacy and outstanding contributions to adoption. Other past Angels are Muhammad Ali, Bruce Willis, Jane Seymour and the late Dave Thomas (Wendy's). Chapman performed at the 2002, 2003 and 2004 Adoption banquets held in Washington, D.C. and he is also an Advisory Board Member of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CCAI).
The Chapmans have also co-authored children's picture books in a series about adoption. The first installment, titled "Shaoey & Dot: Bug Meets Bundle" (Tommy Nelson Publishing), features Shaohannah, nicknamed Shaoey (pronounced "show-ee"), and a whimsical retelling of the adventure of her adoption from China. The second book, "The Christmas Miracle," released last fall, and the most recent installment released is "A Thunder and Lightening Bug Story."

We are a human rights group that, since August 2008, has sailed ten times to Gaza to break Israel's illegal stranglehold on1.6 million Palestinian civilians. We entered Gaza successfully five times in 2008; however, we have been violently intercepted on four voyages, including Israel's MAY 31, 2010 lethal attack on our Freedom Flotilla when nine of our colleagues were killed and many more injured by Israeli commandos. On the tenth voyage in July 2011, Greece prevented us from leaving, as Israel and the U.S. outsourced Israel's occupation of Gaza to Greece. (See also www.witnessgaza.com)
We sail as an expression of citizen nonviolent, direct action, confronting Israel's ongoing abuses of Palestinian human and political rights and will continue to challenge Israel's illegal siege on Gaza by participating and supporting other initiatives to break the blockade of Gaza by sea.

Three years ago, the Free Gaza movement was wrapping up final preparations for a flotilla of eight ships to head out to Gaza, determined to break Israel's illegal siege on 1.5 million Palestinians shut into an open-air prison. Most of us were already in Cyprus or Turkey or Greece, as we were the primary organizers, having already sent eight voyages, five of them successful in 2008.
Why a flotilla of boats?
During Israel's horrific massacres against the people of Gaza (called Operation Cast Lead) in December 2008/January, 2009, our boat, the DIGNITY, had been rammed off the coast of Lebanon as we were taking medical personnel into Gaza. The boat later sank in a storm off the coast of Cyprus.
Then, in July 2009, Israel brutally attacked the "Spirit of Humanity," even though Nobel Peace Laureate, Mairead Maguire, and former Congresswoman, Cynthia McKinney were on board. The Israeli government stole the boat, threw passengers into Israeli prison and, laughably, deported them eight days later, because "passengers had illegally entered Israel." It was the first time the Israeli commandoes had actually boarded one of the boats as opposed to ramming them or trying to sink them. http://www.ricenpeas.com/2009/July/cynthia_mckinney_intvw.html
We realized a new approach would have to be designed, one that would include more vessels, more passengers and more media exposure to the brutal closure of Gaza. Sailing one boat at a time was not going to get the message out to the world that Israel was blockading the people of Gaza and committing crimes against humanity.
It took Free Gaza a year to organize. We traveled to Sweden, Norway, France, Turkey, Greece, many Middle Eastern countries, Tunisia, Spain, Malaysia, the UK, the US and Germany. We helped Palestinian support groups raise money and send out the message that the next voyage would have to be organized with worldwide support. We succeeded beyond our wildest imagination, as organizations and individuals got on board the mission, raised money from people around the world, and bought the boats… eight in all, from the boats purchased by the Turkish charity, IHH, to the boats ready to go from Greece, Sweden, Ireland, Malaysia and the U.S.
Our own boats, Challenger 1 and Challenger 2 plus the cargo ship, the Rachel Corrie, were on their way to the meting place off the coast of Cyprus. The Rachel Corrie, bought with money from a charity in Malaysia, http://www.counterpunch.org/2010/05/18/gaza-fever/ had finally left Ireland, its propeller pin suspiciously dropping out just days before leaving, causing the ship to be delayed for days. Had the final inspection not caught the problem, the propeller would have flown off, damaging the boat and putting the passengers and cargo at risk. The Rachel Corrie would not make it in time to join the flotilla but would try to get into Gaza five days later, only to be boarded by Israeli commandos, the passengers brutalized and left in the sun, then thrown into prison.

Statement: 14.05.2013
ICC Prosecutor receives referral by the authorities of the Union of the Comoros in relation to the events of May 2010 on the vessel 'MAVI MARMARA'
Today my Office met with a delegation from the Istanbul-based Elmadag Law Firm, acting on behalf of the Government of the Union of the Comoros, a State Party to the International Criminal Court since 18 August 2006.
The delegation transmitted a referral "of the Union of the Comoros with respect to the 31 May 2010 Israeli raid on the Humanitarian Aid Flotilla bound for Gaza Strip, requesting the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court pursuant to Articles 12, 13 and 14 of the Rome Statute to initiate an investigation into the crimes committed within the Court's jurisdiction, arising from this raid''.
In accordance with the requirements of the Rome Statute my office will be conducting a preliminary examination in order to establish whether the criteria for opening an investigation are met. After careful analysis of all available information, I shall make a determination that will be made public in due course.

I've been coming to Gaza for a long time. My first time was in 1985 and this is now my seventh trip to the region. In the 80's, there were no substantial physical barriers between Gaza and Israel. Many Gazans worked as day laborers in Israel and many spoke Hebrew. Group taxis traveled freely between East Jerusalem and the West Bank, and directly into Gaza City. The society here in Gaza was much more Westernized and secularized than it is today. Women wore blue jeans and ponytails, and the hijab and the naqab were not nearly as ubiquitous as they are today. It was hardly a perfect relationship between Israelis and Palestinians; more of a privileged class and servant class based on the birthright of whether or not one was born Jewish. But there was abundant interaction between the two societies back then.
Then came the first intifada and then the Oslo "Peace Process" which was really a "Piece Process." This culminated in the division of the two societies and the isolation of Gaza from the rest of the world. There was false hope then and a second intifada. Gaza was locked down as a consequence and became the world's largest prison.
When I re-entered Gaza some 18 years later in 2003, it was a much different world. Dr. Haidar Abdul Shafi, a respected physician and civic leader here in Gaza, explained to me why he had walked out of the Madrid Peace negotiations in 1991. "I concluded that the Israelis were negotiating in bad faith," he said. It took me a while to fully understand what he was talking about, but slowly it became clearer. Gaza was now surrounded by a hideous "Berlin Wall". Rachel Corrie had just been mowed down by a giant bulldozer. Houses and apartment blocks were being systematically destroyed under the orders of Ariel Sharon "to look for tunnels". Over 2000 people in Rafah were made homeless as a direct result of Israel's pursuit of the tunnels.

Representatives of the Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief (IHH), the Turkish nongovernmental organization that coordinated the passengers on the ship Mavi Marmara that was part of the 2010 Gaza Freedom Flotilla, say that families of the nine passengers killed by Israeli commandos have rejected the country's recent apology.
The eight Turkish citizens and one American were killed during a nonviolent mission to challenge the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza, and the families do not consider either an Israeli government apology or the offer of compensation for the death of their loved ones a fulfillment of their mission.
The IHH personnel also announced in the wake of the apology that an indictment filed in the Istanbul High Criminal Court on May 29, 2012, against four senior Israeli government military and intelligence officials will proceed. The four defendants—the former chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, the Israeli navy commander, the Israeli air force intelligence director and the head of the IDF Military Intelligence Directorate—face charges including willful killing, plundering and seizing maritime vessels.
A political apology by the Israeli government to the Turkish one cannot stop the legal process under way in the Turkish courts, IHH staffers say. Turkey's president can't order his nation's courts to drop the case, and to do so would be a violation of its laws.

During the summer months between the hours of 1 and 5:30pm, the pool scene becomes quite lively with good people and great music.

My kids love to swim. Is there any particular time you recommend?Tire em' out is what we say. We suggest families looking to enjoy the pool do so before noon or after 6pm. The perfect opportunity for dad or mom to rest those aching feet.

A day after Pedro Hernandez was charged in the killing of 6-year-old Etan Patz, prosecutors now face the task of corroborating his confession and piecing together a mystery that's confounded investigators for more than three decades.
Police say the 51-year-old New Jersey resident confessed to strangling Etan and dumping his body in the trash near a Manhattan bodega where he worked as a teenage stock clerk in 1979.
Attorney Harvey Fishbein said Hernandez -- who is currently on suicide watch at Bellevue Hospital -- has not entered a plea due to a pending psychiatric evaluation.
Fishbein says his client has a "long psychiatric history" including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and hallucinations.
New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said earlier this week that authorities interviewed other employees of the store Hernandez worked at, but not him. "I can't tell you why," Kelly said.
Yet two law enforcement sources said Hernandez was in fact interviewed, albeit briefly. A third source said Hernandez not only talked to police, but he confessed -- though he was ruled out as a suspect, because his claims weren't believed.
At a recent news conference announcing Hernandez' arrest, Kelly said Hernandez had no prior contact with the boy, and that investigators have not uncovered any forensic evidence linking Hernandez to the disappearance of the Etan, whose body still has not been found.
Former SoHo resident Roberto Monticello, who says he knew Hernandez at the time of Etan's disappearance, called the former stock clerk a "very strange guy."
"He was always by himself," Monticello recalled to CNN affiliate NY1. "(I) never saw him with people."
His pastor, George Bowen, described Hernandez as a "very quiet, unassuming, almost shy man," attending church regularly with his wife and daughter, and sitting in the same seat almost every Sunday.

2010 Meeting of the Movements with Cardinal George |
Midwest News | |
Written by Midwest Focolare | |
Thursday, October 28, 2010 | |
"Suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:2-3) On the evening of October 26, 2010 at the Holy Name Cathedral (Chicago, IL) more than 500 members of the area's ecclesial movements and communities met around Francis Cardinal George for an annual appointment that has become like a yearly family reunion. The day's incredible wind storm did not deter them. Rather, it brought to mind the Pentecost gathering of movements in Vatican square on May 30, 1998, when 300,000 gathered around Pope John Paul II. In her welcome, Mary FioRito, Executive Assistant to Cardinal George and the Cardinal's liaison to the movements, saw in the Chicago wind storm an encounter with the Holy Spirit. Francis Cardinal George, starting in March 2000, has called for a yearly convocation with members of all the area's movements. This year, in his prepared address Cardinal George recalled what he asked of the movements at that first gathering, and how these requests have been met. Ten years ago, the cardinal asked the movements to help him in two particular regards. He asked that they be a force and presence of unity in the archdiocese. He also asked that the movements contribute to formation of the faithful. Considering what has transpired over these ten years, he offered gratitude for the movements' work, saying, "What unity there is now." He also recognized how well formed the many members of the movements are in their faith and how they contribute the formation of so many others. Each meeting of this extended family centers on a theme. Anticipating the upcoming World Youth Day and acknowledging the cardinal's love for and commitment to young people, it was natural that this year's theme be Youth. The evening took the form of a dialog between the cardinal and the youth of the movements. Following the cardinal's opening address, the sanctuary of Holy Name Cathedral became a living room of sorts, a moment of family sharing. The young people sang, accompanied by pictures, video, and art; and they posed questions. In response, the cardinal offered words of wisdom that touched on their deepest yearnings, sufferings, and hopes, and their place in spreading the Good News in today's world. The dialog began with the story of Blessed Chiara Luce Badano, a young member of the Focolare Movement who passed away in 1990 and was beatified on September 25, 2010. The young people shared Chiara Luce's life through a short video and the dramatic reading of pieces from her faith-filled diary, ending with a song written in her honor that spoke of the holy journey all are called to live together. The sustained applause that followed showed the deep impact of the simple but determined "yes" from this contemporary seventeen-year-old. By beatifying her, the Church offers Chiara Luce Badano as a model who demonstrates that life has meaning in all its aspects, both in joy and in suffering. The evening continued with a question and answer session between Cardinal George and twelve representatives from the movements. He responded extemporaneously to the frank questions of these young men and women, entering their world and offering wisdom from the gospel and from his own experience. As has become customary, the formal program opened up into an informal gathering. In the adjacent parish hall the members of many movements spent time together as brothers and sisters of one family. Cardinal George remained, visiting and getting to know many. The Archdiocesan website has a list of the movements in the area and their contact information. In his Catholic New World column, "New Movements in the Church: Sign of the Spirit for our Times," Cardinal George speaks of the movements and their contribution to the faithful, society, and the Church.

Great Organizer but it broke
By bigdogs
from Newark, DE
About Me Budget Shopper
Comments about Rubbermaid Eldon� 3-Tier Organizer, Clear:
This is the second organizer that I have bought. The first one cracked in the front and the first tier is now useless. I bought a second one because I like that it is clear and mounting it is easy. I can display information for our customers and use it to organize the paperwork for our three main business units into each folder. The size is perfect for us. The depth of each tier is not too wide or too small. Our customers, staff, and I like it because it is clear and does not cover the items we have in each tier. Please recommend to Rubbermaid to take off the "unbreakable" description on their label.

Perfect for scrapbook paper that I use often...or on wall for outgoing mail/bills so they don't get covered in shuffle.

Great design. Clear means nothing gets lost and I like that it blends in with the wall.
Attractive and well made
By Facepainter
from Indianapolis, IN
I decided to try this item for sorting my mail every day. It's easy to lose important papers and bills when they are stuffed in my mailbox along with catalogues, ads, and requests for contributions. I usually tried to sort through everything by putting mail in separate stacks on the kitchen table and then hoping I would not lose the important stuff. With this organizer I can separate the mail and see it easily with the clear plastic sections. I like that it can be wall mounted or set on a table so it doesn't take up too much room.

The book asks questions that feel oddly universal: How do you survive and take care of your children when the world is undergoing such rapid change and chaos? How do you maintain traditional familial roles when the children you see as flawed are merely an evolving present tense, a natural part of a future that you can't stop? What makes a "good father"?"

CATACLYSM BABY on Flavorwire list of "25 Notable Books Unfairly Overlooked by The New York Times"
flavorwire.comThanks to Emily Temple for including Cataclysm Baby on her list of notable 2012 books, alongside titles by Amelia Gray, Adam Levin, Claire Vaye Watkins, Tom Bissell, Jami Attenberg, Salman Rushdie, Marilynne Robinson, and John Brandon.
Top 5 books of the semester!
Breaks are needed from writing papers. ….So I'm going to write something different! Hah..
What will make it on the list? Which professor will be ecstatic that they picked the number 1 book this semester?
Over the course of this semester I have read over 13 books. I say over 13, because I read a lot of pieces of works, but not the entire thing, i.e. The Aeneid, Paradise Lost, Dante's Inferno, etc… So this list will only include full pieces I read. Sorry, Dr. R., only one piece from your class has the chance of making it, with these constraints :P
But here it is! *drumroll*
5. Concluding by Henry Green.
This book was really different than most things I had ever read before this semester. Considering I read it right after Virginia Wolf's Between the Acts, needless to say, I was excited to get some plot back in a book. As far as why I liked it on its own, it dealt with a mystery that turned out to be less important than just what everyone did that day. The book takes place over the course of one day, and centers on an old man who seems to be the only one who cares about the fact that two young girls at the school across from his house are missing!
4. The Odyssey by Homer
Let's be real here. This is a classic. I thoroughly enjoyed everything the work had to offer, all of this professor's insights into the work and how he taught it. The best scene ever is the giant fight scene at the end where Odysseus and Telemahkos kill just about anything that moves. Also, I love mythology, so the gods were super interesting to me. Odysseus has been separated from his wife and son for about 20-some years, and is trying to make it home after the Trojan War. Of course, for all epic heroes, there are always several—if not a RIDICULOUS amount—of obstacles.
3. Cataclysm Baby by Matt Bell
As much as while I read this novella, I thought, "I'm never having kids. Ever.", this was a really interesting read. I'm pretty sure that everyone else in class wholeheartedly disagreed, but it was a science fiction novella! Score! People felt like there was no real central plot, and while I might agree to a level, I couldn't get over the fact that the author came up with 26 unique, different, mostly terrifying, post-apocalyptic worlds. The children in most of them are demons, and if the children aren't, the parents are. Each world is completely different from the previous one, and the imagery and descriptions are both gruesome and imaginative. I tip my hat to Matt Bell.
2. The Women of Brewster Place by Gloria Naylor
I got hooked on this book right away. The writing was absolutely beautiful and descriptive, and I couldn't put it down at many points. I must say though, there was one point when I had to put it down, simply because of a scene that was so much to handle, that I did not believe it was actually happening. The Women of Brewster Place go into the lives of several different women and how they got to Brewster Place, and what exactly links them all together, especially when the going gets tough.
Andddd number 1….. What's it going to be? Which professor? Which book? Ahhhhh!!
1. Atonement by Ian McEwan
There is absolutely so much I could say about this book. I loved it. I cherished it. It was one of the only ones where I forced myself not to look up the ending because of a paper about endings that I had to write. Immediately, I was drawn into the book on the simple fact that the main character, a young 13-year-old named Briony, was a WRITER! I got so excited, that every time she would say something about writing I would go, "YES! I agree!" She reminded me of myself, when I was young and writing plays and short stories. Of course, I didn't commit a crime that changed the lives of everyone, which the book centers around. Also, if writing and a crime committed isn't enough to get you interested in reading this book: there's sex scenes, gruesome details of wounded warriors, OH. And if you haven't seen the movie yet, THERE'S A BIG THING AT THE END THAT KEEPS YOU READING. I hope I didn't give much away.
Oh well.
And there you have it. My top 5 books of the semester. Kudos to Dr. U., for getting the number 1 spot and picking that awesome book. And thank you to all the professors who played, and good luck next semester! Who will make it then???! Okay, I clearly need to get back to finishing my papers.
Happy portfolio week, everyone!
CATACLYSM BABY on Shelf Unbound's TOP 10 Books of 2012

It's a great list, and I'm thankful for being included.
CATACLYSM BABY Reviewed at The Short Review
thenewshortreview.wordpress.comThanks so much to Tessa Mellas for her review of Cataclysm Baby in The Short Review, which couldn't be more timely for potential readers: What better day to find out about a book of parenting stories for the post-apocalypse than the last pre-apocalypse day the Mayans left us? She says, in part:
Bell's book could not be more finely crafted. Like the strange children contained therein, this book is a marvel, a species unto itself. Bell juxtaposes a delicious darkness with prose that is startlingly poetic. The full reality of each premise gradually takes shape out of the hypnotic cadences of biblical language. That doom should crystalize from such beauty seems both a betrayal and a truth. You cannot read these verses too many times. You cannot resist speaking them aloud to hear the way they vibrate in your ears.
Thanks again to Tessa Mellas, and to editor Tania Hershman at The Short Review, for her continued coverage and support of my work.

Yeah, and so far one concussion. He continues the running and eventually the yards will not be increasing but the the concussions will. Bank on it. Anybody with an ounce of sense doesn't want their "star" QB risking injury all the time by trying to play tailback. He needs to learn how to throw the ball away for his own health. He does his team no good being on the injury list.
Odd how someone can be the lite version of someone they are better than. Seriously, you have nothing but your supposition and hatred and can't back it up with anything. Every time I ask you for stats you don't have any. Every time I give you stats, you ignore them.
That's fine. And it's one person's opinion. No more; no less.
The biggest issue I have with RG3 is that it's clear to me he's going to be on IR at some point in his career -- and probably sooner, rather than later. He's already taken some monster hits, and will continue to take monster hits because of how often he runs the ball. It just doesn't work in the NFL. It never has, and it never will.
A) He doesn't run that often. He has less than 9 attempts per game and that includes him scrambling to the sidelines when he's flushed out of the pocket.
B) If you've watched the Redskins games this season, it's obvious that he's done a better job of protecting himself and making better running decisions during the games. There still seems to be 1 play a game where you wince, but really, it's no more than most QBs in an average game. He still needs to improve on this, but I think it's obvious he's made an adjustment and will continue to do so.
Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah a bunch of words from some nobody. Who cares? The real reason the Redskins are 6-6 is Pierre Garcon. I heard this morning on Sirius XM NFL channell 88 that the Redskins are 5-1 when Garcon plays. He gets so wide open that Billy Kilmer could come out of retirement and hit him with a TD pass. Without Garcon, they are 1-5. So obviously, Pierre Garcon is the Redskins MVP not RGIII. Whereas, clearly Luck is his team's MVP and should also be rookie of the year. How do you like them apples?

watched the game monday night .......
been right all along .......
he runs the option, mike vick jr ...........
had to laugh when gruden started talking about bubble screens .......
exciting player, fun to watch, having a heck of a year and shanahan has built a good offense around his strengths but more like mike vick than peyton manning or tom brady (or andrew luck) ......
He only does so because of his threat to run the ball, which unfortunately for him and nutty Redskins fans like you, is also eventually going to end his career prematurely, if he doesn't abandon the idea. At least the way he has been doing it. If he would learn to run out of bounds before getting hit and consistently slide down like Brady and Manning he would be okay. The question is, will he learn to do this before being ruined health wise? Then, if he does ever assume the normal way an NFL QB runs, will it limit his receivers getting wide open? So it is a catch 22, which is why Luck and Wilson are going to have better careers and were better and much smarter draft picks.
Now Wilson, the 5'11" 200 lb QB is better? Ha ha ha ha. Did you give up a kidney or a brain. You're such a hateful moron.
Look what Wilson is doing genius. He is playing at an incredible level for a rookie. Who cares about his size? Drew Brees is calling you out for your blatant stupidity with that statement. You just cannot handle the fact that two other rookie NFL QB's are better than yours. Neither one of them are gimmick QB's. They are the real deals.

I remember a few years ago when a poster here (I won't mention his name but it has "Ken" in it...) was just SLOBBERING ALL OVER VICK'S NUTSACK. I mean he wouldn't let go of it. VICK this and VICK that. How'd THAT work out for ya, Ken?
It's similar with RGIII. Although I think RGIII is a better passer than Vick; Vick was always weak in that dept, and still is. It's just that RGIII is a lot younger, stronger, and faster than Vick. And probably smarter, too. But that won't help protect him from the violent hits he's already taken, and will continue to take, which, like with a heavyweight boxer, all add up. It's the body shots that eventually topple the big hitters, and it's going to happen to RGIII, sooner rather than later.

Game of August: Sleeping Dogs or Darksiders 2?
The NPD Group has released their report on the bestselling games and consoles in June and Red Dead Redemption has once again outduelled the competition. The Xbox 360 version of Rockstar's western adventure took the top spot with sales of over 580,000 while the PS3 version was close behind in the third spot with sales of 380,000. Nintendo's Super Mario Galaxy 2 snuck in between the two with a #2 finish and almost 550,000 copies sold. Mario's previous adventure, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, continues to sell and places in the number four spot. Finally, Ubisoft's dancing game Just Dance rounded out the top five. Making their debut in the top ten this month is the DS version of Toy Story 3 at #7 and the Wii version of Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 at #9. Another debut also sold big last month as Microsoft's slimmer Xbox 360 pushed the console to the #2 slot in the hardware list ahead of the Wii and PS3. But the DS retained its stranglehold on the #1 spot.

The Lower Wisconsin River (LWR), which begins west of Sauk City, Wisconsin, is a quality smallmouth fishery. The wide and shallow river flows westward for almost ninety miles, till it empties into the Mississippi River. The LWR doesn't have any barge or commercial traffic, so it doesn't have to maintain a minimum navigatable channel. Most of the water below the dam at Prairie du Sac is less than 10 feet deep, so this is not a river made for big water walleye and bass boats. The river is made for johnboats, flat-bottom boats, and boats under 16 feet. There also are not any river maps worth looking at, so if you plan on fishing the Lower Wisconsin River, you must be extremely careful and always be looking for obstructions. Water levels can change daily. A good idea is to check the water flow from Alliant Energy which controls the dams up and down the river. Seeing what the current flow is upriver can help you plan your fishing a few days later. The Alliant Energy phone number is 1-800-242-1077 for daily current flow reports.
Most of the river has an excellent fishery with over 40 different fish species present in its waters. Sometimes, one never knows what kind of fish they're going to catch on any given day. But, if you refrain from using live bait, you can and will catch more smallmouth and game fish. Since, I live on one of the rivers most beautiful stretches; I've been able to keep a book and record fishing information for almost 20 years. I'll share some of my findings!
The smallmouth begin to get active near the end of April. Some fish are always caught in the warmer water areas during the spring walleye bite, but most walleyes are done spawning by the time Wisconsin River smallmouth get going. The statistics that I've kept show that smallmouth bass get active about April 21st. These are always pre-spawn fish. But, as the water warms from the 40′s to the 50′s, river smallmouth start moving from their deep water holding areas of winter to shallow water for food, comfort, and eventually to spawn. Smallmouth bass start to spawn in Wisconsin, when the water temperature is between 55 and 60 degrees.
First, the males move into the shallows and begin to make beds for the females. You can quietly cruise the shallows on a calm day and locate their beds in shallow water, usually only a foot or two deep. A good pair of polarized glasses can help you see better besides providing eye protection. You can even walk the shoreline of the river and find the scattered beds in the calm and slack water areas. I don't like taking bass off their beds, so I try and wait till the fish are done spawning before fishing for them. If you find beds, it's a good bet that the bass will be found near the closest deep-water structure. Deep water is a relative thing in the Wisconsin River. "Deep water" in this river could be 5, 6, or even 8 feet of water. Deep water in the Lower Wisconsin is 5 to 8 feet, since most of the rivers water is less than 6 feet in normal times.
As spring progresses and the water warms, I begin to look for smallmouth anywhere that there is any kind of structure. In all river systems, you can find more than one fish species inhabit ting the same area. Any kind of wood be it logs, timber, or sunken trees will hold smallmouth. If the amount of wood is limited in the area you're in or hard to find, look for rock, rock piles, humps, bars, riprap, and the back side of islands. Often, I'll find smallmouth in current, much more than walleyes, but they also will look for current breaks which allow them to rest and to get out of the rivers strong flow. All fish are cold-blooded and actively seek warmer water. Water only has to be a degree or two warmer to attract insects and bait fish and eventually, smallmouth bass. Most smallmouth bass prefer bottoms that are a combination of rock, gravel, and sand. Try to look for this bottom mixture. The bass prefer this type of bottom because their favorite food, the crayfish is always close by. Crayfish make up a large part of the smallmouth diet in the Lower Wisconsin River and they are always around rock and gravel.
Smallmouth get more active as the water warms later in the spring and you can often find them on any shallow flat chasing minnows (shiners and shad). Schools of smallmouth will herd baitfish into the rivers banks and shorelines, trapping them for an easy meal. This is one reason why they prefer high bank shorelines over low-lying areas. High banks usually mean deep water and a sharp break close to shore which helps the smallies trap their prey. A good technique for catching these shallow water spring bass to is to slowly drift with the current and use either a bow-mount or transom trolling motor (Minn Kota are the best by my standards) to slow you down and allow you to work good-looking spots very slowly and carefully. Try making long casts to the shallows for smallmouth which should help in not spooking the fish.
Though, live bait works great early in the year and into summer, it also allows the aggressive smallmouth to inhale your bait and often get deeply hooked. If you insist on using live bait, try seining your own river shiners. They're great bait during the spring for smallmouth and always for river walleyes.
As the water warms, try switching to plastics and light jigs. Cast toward the shore and any available structure like; wood, rocks, boulders, points, islands, river bends, feeder creeks, and slack water areas. Jigs and twister or grub tails (Kalins) in all colors work well in the Wisconsin River. Pre-rigged plastic worms (like the Wally Worm) work wonders when casted shallow and slowly crawled back to your boat. Day in and day out, pre-rigged worms are some of the best baits for all river species and particular, smallmouth bass. My color choices for the Lower Wisconsin River are blue, black, purple, motor oil, and natural, if you want to catch fish.
As we move toward summer and water temperatures above 60 degrees, I switch to using more spinner baits (try Mann's Hank Parker Model), buzz baits, and in-line spinners (Mepps) to catch smallmouth. As the water warms, they get more aggressive and even begin to chase baits. Often, all kinds and colors of spinner blades will work effectively. The stained water of the Wisconsin River allow gold and silver blades to show up a little better and these are my top blade colors for spinner blades. Casting crank baits will catch river smallmouth soon after they leave their beds and the water temperature exceeds 60 degrees. The Mann's Minus One and the Rapala Shallow Shad Rap crank bait both work well, especially when fished in crayfish colors. The color orange in jigs, plastics, and cranks work wonders in the river because they all resemble the number 1 smallmouth food, the crayfish.
I'd recommend a 6 ½ foot or 7 foot high module graphite rod (I love G. Loomis), which allows me to make long casts to the shallow water. I'd choose a light-medium action rod with a fast tip. Add a high quality reel (like Daiwa and Garcia) to the rod and you're all set except for spooling the reel with some Berkley XL or XT monofilament in 8 pound or 10 pound test and green color. Years ago, I used to use a lot of 6 # pound mono, but I found that using 8 # pound test didn't hurt my fishing and saved numerous jigs and cranks.
The Lower Wisconsin River has numerous boat landings at Sauk City, Mazomanie, Arena, Spring Green, and Lone Rock. But, remember that big boats will be nothing but trouble in the rivers shallow water. During times of high water, larger boats can navigate and fish productively. But, that rarely happens except during early spring and this year it never happened. Navigate the river slowly and carefully and you should have no major problems, except beaching on a sand bar now and then. Seriously, be careful and always bring a spare shear pin for emergencies. State Highway 14 runs from Madison west toward the Mississippi River and most of the Wisconsin Rivers boat landings are off this highway. Anglers should have good fishing from the Highway 12 Bridge in Sauk City downriver to Lone Rock. This twenty some mile stretch of river has some of the LWR's best fishing and structure. Rarely, do you find any other boats with the exception of canoes, on any given day. Weekends are about the only time that you'll find anyone else fishing. The lack of anglers is not because of poor fishing, it's just a difficult body of water to navigate which scares away some anglers.
The minimum size length is 14″ inches and a 5 fish daily bag. But, release all fish except if you catch the trophy of a lifetime! There are 20″ inch fish that will weigh in excess of 5 # pounds in the Lower Wisconsin River. You just have to find them in the many miles of river that's loaded with fish-holding structure.

Comments about Brother� TN430 Black Laser Fax Toner Cartridge:
Just a good product in general
I have owned this fax machine for 10 yrs
By Honest Joe
from Florida
I ordered this cartridge and received the next day as promised. Installation was fairly easy to figure out (once you figured out how to separate the drum from the toner cartridge itself so you could replace it with the new one). My only issue is that it produced sketchy writing on my printouts like it was going to run out of ink instead of behaving like a brand new cartridge should. The reason I have given this product 3 stars even though it didn't work is because I made one phone call to staples online, spoke to Mary who was very helpful. She is arranging to have a courier pick up the defective cartridge and bring a new one at the same time AND it's supposed to be next day. So I am giving three stars due to the service and efforts that Staples has afforded me today with no hassle. When I receive the replacement cartridge and again I will receive an email asking me to rate the product--hopefully next time it gets a five!
