Buehler, Oneida to stay on as Duluth Depot managers
Duluth's historic downtown Depot train museum and arts and history center will keep its management team after all.By: John Myers, Duluth News Tribune
Duluth's historic downtown Depot train museum and arts and history center will keep its management team after all.
The St. Louis County Board on Tuesday voted 6-1 to have a team of Oneida Realty real estate management and Ken Buehler, president of the nonprofit Historic Union Depot Corp., run the facility.
County administrators and Oneida will hammer out details of the contract expected to last about five years.
"It's going to be a great summer for the Depot, and I think a great future," a bolstered Buehler said after the vote.
The board rejected a proposal from the AtWater Group, another local property management company. AtWater owns and manages the former KDLH building on Superior Street, among others, and saw the Depot as a chance to help revitalize the area, including the possibility of adding restaurants and retail to the Depot mix.
"The Depot was one of the pieces we felt could be part of the renaissance of western downtown," said Brian Forcier, AtWater president. "I'm still hopeful they (Oneida) will see it that way, too."
Commissioners went against the recommendation of their staff and an advisory committee, who had picked the AtWater plan.
Commissioner Frank Jewell of Duluth, the lone dissenting vote, said the board should heed the advice of people who said the Depot could be more than it is. A study conducted for the county last year found a somewhat disorganized management system, lack of vision for new attractions, and untapped potential to increase overall attendance. The county early this year asked for new proposals to manage the Depot.
The board of the Depot Foundation also backed AtWater's vision for the building, while several tenant organizations in the building backed Oneida and Buehler.
Commissioners stuck with Oneida and Buehler, with all seven commissioners praising the current managers' efforts to keep the building open and vibrant after it nearly closed, unable to pay its bills, in 2005.
"This group has eight years of taking something from absolute bankruptcy … to where it is today," said Commissioner Peg Sweeney of Proctor, saying management of the Depot is complicated because of the mix of tenants. "Arts management is an art unto itself. It's an interesting group of tenants occupying the same space. To keep them together in harmony is absolutely amazing."
The 120-year-old Depot — officially called the St. Louis County Heritage and Arts Center — houses the Duluth Art Institute, Duluth Playhouse, Duluth Children's Museum, Lake Superior Railroad Museum, North Shore Scenic Railroad, Minnesota Ballet, St. Louis County Historical Society, Arrowhead Chorale and other groups and exhibits. It also hosts dozens of special events, from weddings and exhibits to the city's Veterans Day event.
The county adopted the Depot nearly 40 years ago as a home for the county Historical Society. The current managers took over nearly eight years ago after the former management collapsed in bankruptcy.
Officials for both companies vying for control of the building said its eclectic mix of tenants would continue no matter who won the job.
"The organizations are the museum, not the building," said Steve LaFlamme, president of Oneida Realty.
The Depot cost county taxpayers nearly $200,000 in 2011, paid directly from property taxes, and county officials are trying to reduce if not eliminate that subsidy. The county also footed much of the bill for a new $2.1 million roof.
Commissioner Chris Dahlberg of Duluth said the board must be careful to keep the cost to taxpayers down, but added that the decision was based on the community's demands for arts, history and culture. Commissioner Steve Raukar of Hibbing urged county officials to stop referring to the county's spending on the Depot as a "subsidy" and instead call it an investment in history, culture and community.
"These are core to the quality of life that people enjoy here," Raukar said.
Under the new contract, Oneida will deal with the county, and Buehler will act as a subcontractor for Oneida. Oneida also will pay the building's bills up front instead of the county paying and being reimbursed. The new contract is expected to include a provision calling for a local advisory board to recommend potential changes to Oneida.
"I think a lot of great ideas have surfaced in this, but the obvious issue is cost," LaFlamme said after the vote. "I think we can start taking a look at those ideas and see where we can take this."

The University of Missouri–St. Louis (UMSL) is one of four universities in the University of Missouri System. Established in 1963, it is the newest university in the UM System. As of 2013[update], it is the largest university by enrollment in the St. Louis area with 16,809 students.[2][7] UMSL's campus is located on the former grounds of the Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis County, in the U.S. state of Missouri, stretching into the municipalities of Bellerive,[11] Bel-Nor[12] and Normandy.[13] However, the campus's mailing address says St. Louis City. Additional facilities are located at the former site of Marillac College and at Grand Center, both in St. Louis city.
Bachelor's, Master's, and doctoral programs are offered through the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business Administration, the College of Education, the College of Fine Arts and Communication, the College of Nursing, and the College of Optometry. The business school is AACSB-accredited and is the only university in the St. Louis area to also be AACSB-accredited in accounting. Preprofessional, a joint engineering program with Washington University in St. Louis, and evening programs are also offered. UMSL is home of an optometry school, providing its students with a doctorate (OD). Only 17 optometry schools exist in all of North America including Puerto Rico. The Pierre Laclede Honors College is UMSL's honors program.
The university contains three libraries: The Thomas Jefferson Library which is the main library of the university, the Ward E. Barnes Library which houses the materials of relevance to the nursing, education and optometry programs, and the St. Louis Mercantile Library which was founded in 1846 and is the oldest library west of the Mississippi River. The campus contains two stops on MetroLink, St. Louis' regional light rail system. A student center, academic buildings, parking structures, a performing arts center, and residential housing have been constructed over the past ten years as part of campus improvement programs. The university has a dual-enrollment agreement with Gulf University for Science and Technology, Kuwait. The university owns and operates St. Louis Public Radio.
71.6% of its undergraduate classes have 29 or fewer students, and 46.2% have 19 or fewer students. The student-faculty ratio is 18:1 (2011).[8]
The move for a college campus in its current location began in 1957 when members of the Bellerive Country Club put their 53-year-old club house and 125-acre (50.6 ha) grounds on the market for $1.3 million as they planned to move to larger quarters in Town and Country, Missouri. At the same time members of Normandy, Missouri School District began debating the need of creating an affordable junior college to offer an alternative to the much more expensive privately owned Saint Louis University and Washington University in St. Louis. Country Club members approached the Board and the asking price was dropped to $600,000. A bond issue on September 30, 1958, received the necessary two-thirds majority and the golf club was turned over to Normandy on May 31, 1960. A group of board members and citizens popularly referred to as "The Committee of Twenty-eight" began the process to set up the junior college. The group was to meet with Elmer Ellis, president of the University of Missouri.
At the time, MU was responsible for accrediting junior colleges. Ellis suggested that the University of Missouri supervise the educational program at the school. The terms required that 100 students attend the school. 140 students applied on the first day. The Clubhouse was renovated with 15 classrooms, two laboratories, a large lecture room, a library and a cafeteria. The "Normandy Residence Center under the auspices of the University of Missouri" opened in September 1960. Enrollment increased to 300 in 1961 and 550 in 1962.
Interest in a four-year school immediately arose. In 1963, the original MU campuses in Columbia and Rolla were merged with the privately owned University of Kansas City to form the present day University of Missouri System. The newly formed system immediately won permission to upgrade the Normandy center to a full-fledged four-year institution. The transfer from the Normandy school district to the University of Missouri System was delayed when the Missouri Supreme Court in 4–3 decision ruled that the school could not transfer the property without a formal open bid process. The Missouri General Assembly enacted legislation signed by Governor John Dalton on October 13, 1963, enabling the transfer and the university bought the property for $60,000 from unallocated funds at the university's disposal.[14]
With expanding enrollment classes were held in a laundromat building at Natural Bridge and Hanley and in a church basement across from the campus while buildings were built on the site of the former Bellerieve Country Club. Benton Hall opened in 1965, Clark Hall and the Library were the next buildings built. On July 23, 1973, an Ozark Airlines Fairchild Hiller FH-227B Flight 809 from Nashville International Airport crashed into the campus just east of the Mark Twain complex while attempting to land at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. 37 passengers and one crew member were killed although four passengers and two crew members including the captain survived.[15][16] There had been reports of a tornado at Ladue at the time but the Weather Service did not confirm it.[17][18] In 1976 Marillac College was acquired. It is now called the "south campus."

Student Government Association[edit]
The UMSL Student Government Association (SGA) is a student run government set up to provide a voice for students when dealing with administration of the University of Missouri–St. Louis (UMSL). SGA has three parts, Executive Branch, the Assembly and the Student Court, and also is governed by a student wide approved constitution. SGA was started in 1963 when the university was founded and has gone through many constitutional changes, the most recent in 2004. SGA includes members from every student organization and students from every college on campus. This government incorporates both undergraduate and graduate in its student body. SGA has been instrumental in changes for students around the campus. It is responsible for approving student fees before they go to the board of curators of the University of Missouri System and divides out the campus Activity's Fees to fund student organizations' budgets.[26]
Greek life[edit]
There are six social fraternities and sororities on campus. The Fraternities are Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Tau Gamma, Sigma Pi. Sororities include: Alpha Xi Delta, Delta Zeta, Zeta Tau Alpha.
There is also a number of city wide fraternities that recruit from UMSL and a music fraternity Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and a sorority for mothers Mu Tau Rho.
Student media[edit]
The student newspaper, The Current, is a tabloid publishing 6,000 issues weekly. It is funded primarily by advertising revenue supplemented by student activity fees. The Current has won "Best-in-State" from the Missouri Collegiate Media Association in 2007, 2008, and 2009. The campus now hosts a student radio station, UMSL Student Radio (The U), on AM 1620 and streaming online [2]. The main studios are located on the second floor of the Millennium Student Center, with a satellite studio in the Oak Hall Residence. The station is sponsored by SEMPA, the Student Electronic Media Professional's Association. The U has a "diversity" format, playing various genres of music as well as programs featuring campus news and personalities. The Film Production Society was established in 2006. The organization has since changed its name to "The Media Production Society". The organization manufactures original content, tutors students in need, and researches new forms of modern media.
Nickname and mascot[edit]
In May 2007 the UMSL board of curators approved a change of nickname from the Rivermen (first used in the 1960s) to the Tritons. The new mascot was revealed at the 'Pack the Stands' night, Fall 2009 and was named Louie by the student body at the annual Mirthday celebration, Spring 2010. The Rivermen/Riverwomen nickname seldom had popular support, primarily for its unwieldy gender constructions.[27]
Official song[edit]
The university song is "With Majesty," featuring words and music by John Francis Dill and Diane Ceccarini.
Rising high between two rivers history yet to tell,
Dreaming dreams about tomorrow as I've learned today.
Stands an honored Alma Mater our U M S L.
Now this heart deep in Missouri seeks a better way.
Came to seek more understanding for my life to be.
When at last my journey's over may its value be,
Found my need for knowledge answered gratefully by thee.
That it honors state an nation but above all thee.
The university features multitude of places to eat, particularly in the Millennium Student Center. The NOSH, the most popular dining facility, has a sushi station, an international food station, a salad bar, a special station, a wing station, and a burger station. Subway is located in the Pilot House.
The university has over 84,000 graduates, with 77% of them in the metropolitan St. Louis area.[28]

Posted November 30, 2011 on
AP on Fox
Texas Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland is recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his right wrist.
Moreland underwent surgery in Cleveland on Wednesday, when a small pea-shaped bone was removed from the base of his wrist.
The Rangers say the estimated recovery time is expected to be eight to 12 weeks. He will be in a soft split and begin rehabilitation in the next few days.
Moreland was bothered by soreness in the wrist over the second half of the season for the two-time defending AL champions. He hit .259 with 16 home runs and 51 RBIs in 134 games.
As a rookie in 2010, Moreland hit .462 (6 of 13) with a homer in the World Series.

Seth R. Marcus Branch Chief for Systems SupportHousing and Urban Development Department
The work: Modernizing and streamlining the process that housing and community grant recipients use to submit their five-year plans to the department.
The impact: HUD's eGrants initiative has reduced annual paper consumption by 72,000 pages, eased the annual administrative burden by 98,000 hours and shortened the plan review process from 45 days to 12 days.
The nuts and bolts: In addition to simplifying the process for submitting plans, Marcus built a Web-based mapping program that supplies grant applicants with socioeconomic and housing market data, which makes it easier for them to target their grant activities for the most successful outcomes.

Hilarious Kids and Babies, Part 2
"QUANTUM SHOT" #422 link I am not an anteater. I am your child. Kids are a handful, a leg-ful, a lap-ful, and more - in fact, they will take all the time and money allowed for them, and then some. In return, you will behold a dimpled happy creature who will "murmel, murmel, murmel" (yes) and adore you in a greater way than a puppy, a cat or even an anteater ever will. This wonderful little human being has every bit of emotion and feeling as an adult; only they just learning to express themselves - often with unexpected hilarity, as the following image compilation amply proves: We'll start with happy kids... and go from there - It says somewhere in the Bible that "where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them". Well, then - does this count? Start of a true friendship: (image credit: Mehrdad Azadi, National Geographic) and a true jealousy: Having more fun than anyone expected: (image credit: Mark P. Knowles) With a little help (from your kid) - Disgruntled (and more) (image credit Bru & Ulf) Disenchantment comes, sooner of later - Visit to the dentist, on the contrary, can be intriguing: Hyper-active kids... and those who just tag along Kid's play will know no limits: Gotta... have... toys (image credit: Peter Strandberg) In the absence of jewelry: In the absence of a bench: ...or a bed: Yes, kids possess inherent ingenuity and will make the most out of any situation. But for goodness sake, keep the "monster toys" (most viciously made in the former Soviet Russia) away from them: Some though might argue that the limited exposure to ugly toy horrors might even do a child good (with proper "parental guidance"). After all, he sees no less frightening stuff outside: Scary embrace: Urban sculpture installations sometimes can be downright shocking: (but will nicely illustrate where the babies come from?) Grandmothers (and "babushkas") seem to enjoy the playgrounds (when taking a break from watching the kids) - What is your mother's last name? Are you sure? - Children can be so adorable, that you might want to have your own little polymer sculptures of them, to have that special moment of cuteness anywhere you go. Order some made by Camille Allen - they are the best: These could probably make a wonderful set of Tamagotchi, if such an option was available. This playful kid's doggy bag says: "Insert a finger - wiggle a small tail". Good fun: Treat them to the Jellyfish Pacifiers. Made in Tokyo, of course. (such an obvious idea, really!) (image credit: fgautron.com) Another "nightmarish" toy (probably a pacifier) - Is it really safe? - This is deeply, deeply wrong. But you knew that - North Korean kids go for a walk: OK, draw a deep breath, here goes "cute photography" again: And we finish with a beautiful Victorian kids section: Beautiful eyes: Some images came from sites and emails which did not credit the original photographers.

The picture of the child soldier with butterfly wings and an AK-47 is surely one of the saddest things I've seen lately.
Oh, and aren't the squid pacifiers actually meant to be jellyfish pacifiers? - said...
Great collection as always
The Victorian section looks more 1930's and 40's to me.
and the AK-47 shot with the wings, those aren't toys. - said...
He meant the wings :P
- said...
To me these wings are photoshoped. Considering those kids are in armed conflict area I doubt they would wear such flashy toys on their backs.
- said...
The wings are probably real. The National Patriotic Front of Liberia was infamous for child soldiers who wore womens' wigs, dresses, etc. in combat in the belief that it confused their enemies' bullets.
- Kirt The Kids Beds Expert said...
Some of the kids in the article appear in the armed dispute so I hesitate that they would wear such
flashy wings on their back-side... - Manpreet said...
Very thoughtful, touching, and some of them downright hilarious.
great post
:) - said...
The aliens face hugger isn't a pacifier, it's a plushie (comes with it's cocoon too, that's the grey thing in the background), I saw them for sale somewhere but I can't remember where.
- said...
The bambi piece is from Ben Frost's "Kmart After Dark" I believe.
I think it's awesome. << - said...
Does anyone know the story behind the photo with the two policemen in the foreground (one of whom is holding a billy-club) facing a child?

Put Your Closet in Order: Sharing a Space
Need to share your space? Here's how to make room for two.
With no dresser in the bedroom, the husband had to store all of his clothes in the closet. Double hanging bars accommodate dress shirts and pants, while shelves are perfect for stacking T-shirts and sweaters. A hanging hat rack organizes his baseball caps.
More useful storage ideas:
Storage Containers can be pretty as well as functional. Decorative bandboxes, such as these from Prairie Primitives, are perfect for tucking away hats, scarves, and other accessories. Made of dense, brightly colored foam, the EVA Storage Stool can serve as a small hamper or store blankets and sweaters.
Ties and belts fit neatly into an Elfa shelf basket customized with walnut dividers. Roll ties to help prevent creasing or wrinkles. Platinum Shelf Baskets, Decor Walnut Shelf Basket Dividers.
Plastic shoe boxes are ideal for storing off-season shoes or special-occasion pairs that get minimal wear. Shoes stay dust-free, and the clear plastic makes it a snap to find the pair you're searching for. Our Shoe Boxes.
Drawer frames from Elfa's Decor line allow for flexible storage; choose any combination of drawer depths to suit your needs. Drawers glide open on integrated wheels, and wire frames make it easy to see the contents. Add plastic drawer liners to prevent small items from slipping through the cracks.
TIP: Think vertically. Don't let those few extra feet be-tween your closet's top shelf and the ceiling go to waste. Install floor-to-ceiling shelving and store rarely used items up there. For instant access, get a handy folding stepstool, such as the lightweight Step 90 Stepladder (momastore.org).

The Super Bowl may be the biggest event in sport (except, of course, everywhere outside of the U.S.), but everyone knows that the battle that occurs each year on Super Bowl Sunday doesn't take place on the field. It takes place during the commercial breaks.
The battle for consumer hearts and minds costs a lot of money, and it increasingly involves the internet, which is where much of the buzz about Super Bowl commercials can be found.

Lovely juice, if you like bananas
I got this juice instead of the Tropicana one my husband likes in a bid to save some pennies. I didn't read the ingredients to see it has banana puree in it. He is adverse to bananas and so didn't like it at all, as it tastes strongly of this ingredient, but I really loved it. Really refreshing juice if you like the taste of banana.

Unusual but very nice

07 December 2012

Best tropical juice I've found in this country!
I LOVE tropical fruit & fruit juices, but have never found any in this country that taste as great as those you get on holiday, you know the ones, just delicious, not too sharp, nor too sweet, but packed with flavour. THIS juice is the best one here I have found, better than other branded ones, hits the spot every time! I can close my eyes & for a minute pretend I've just supped this juice at breakfast on holiday...mmm...Love it when these are on offer, the pineapple one & apple & mango one are both better than branded ones too, well, in my opinion!

Syria's rebel leaders have agreed to come under a united command in a bid to integrate diverse fighting groups and streamline the route for arms essential to their struggle against President Bashar al-Assad.
The new body, expected to be announced officially on Sunday, hopes to form the basis of a united rebel front.
About 500 delegates elected the 30-person Supreme Military Council and a Chief of Staff on Friday in Turkish resort of Antalya and planned to meet soon with representatives from the opposition's newly re-organised political leadership, participants said.
"The aim of this meeting was to unify the armed opposition to bring down the regime," said a rebel commander from Damascus who attended the meeting. "It also aims to get the situation under control once the regime falls."
The move toward greater unity on the armed front comes as the US and others try to strengthen the opposition's leadership while sidelining extremist factions that have become a vital part of the rebels' ground forces.
The US is expected to recognise it at an international "Friends of Syria" conference in Marakesh, Morocco, that begins on Wednesday.
A majority of the brigades that have taken up arms veer towards a radical Islamist outlook, some have boasted about executing captured soldiers.
Lack of cohesion
Two of the most extreme rebel groups involved, were not invited to the meeting in Turkey or included in the new council. Such a move could possibly encourage Western support.
A lack of cohesion has plagued Syria's rebel movement since its inception late last year. The base of what became the Free Syrian Army was formed after some protesters gave up on peaceful means to bring down al-Assad's regime and took up arms.
The groups have surged across the nation with many failing to co-ordinate without any bodies outside their respective areas.
While some say they want a civil, democratic government, others advocate an Islamic state.
The opposition's political leadership met in Doha, the Qatari capital, last month to re-organise themselves after giving in to Western pressure.
It is hoped that the backers of the new National Alliance hope will have broader representation and stronger links to rebel fighters.
Britain, France, Turkey and several Gulf Arab nations have recognised the National Alliance, effectively considering it a government in exile.

Fire Deaths and Injuries: Fact Sheet
Deaths from fires and burns are the third leading cause of fatal home injury (Runyan 2004). The United State's mortality rate from fires ranks eighth among the 25 developed countries for which statistics are available (International Association for the Study of Insurance Economics 2009).
Although the number of fatalities and injuries caused by residential fires has declined gradually over the past several decades, many residential fire-related deaths remain preventable and continue to pose a significant public health problem.
Occurrence and Consequences
- On average in the United States in 2010, someone died in a fire every 169 minutes, and someone was injured every 30 minutes (Karter 2011).
- About 85% of all U.S. fire deaths in 2009 occurred in homes (Karter 2011).
- In 2010, fire departments responded to 384,000 home fires in the United States, which claimed the lives of 2,640 people (not including firefighters) and injured another 13,350, not including firefighters (Karter 2011).
- Most victims of fires die from smoke or toxic gases and not from burns (Hall 2001).
- Smoking is the leading cause of fire-related deaths (Ahrens 2011).
- Cooking is the primary cause of residential fires (Ahrens 2011).
Fire and burn injuries represent 1% of the incidence of injuries and 2% of the total costs of injuries, or $7.5 billion each year (Finkelstein et al. 2006).
- Males account for $4.8 billion (64%) of the total costs of fire/burn injuries.
- Females account for $2.7 billion (36%) of the total costs of fire/burn injuries.
- Fatal fire and burn injuries cost $3 billion, representing 2% of the total costs of all fatal injuries.
- Hospitalized fire and burn injuries total $1 billion, or 1% of the total cost of all hospitalized injuries.
- Non-hospitalized fire and burn injuries cost $3 billion, or 2% of the total cost of all non-hospitalized injuries.
Groups at Risk
Groups at increased risk of fire-related injuries and deaths include:
- Children 4 and under (CDC 2010; Flynn 2010);
- Older Adults ages 65 and older (CDC 2010; Flynn 2010);
- African Americans and Native Americans (CDC 2010; Flynn 2010);

Mountain Dew Is Back With WoW Game Fuel
You may recall a couple years ago when Mountain Dew came out with a special edition Halo-themed soda called Game Fuel. You may also recall It tasting like shit and the Geekologie Writer suing because it made his penis shrink (it was visible before, I swear). Well now they're back with two World of Warcraft inspired game imbibe-ables.
The Horde drink is reddish orange and packed with "a blast of citrus cherry". Nice, guys -- God knows orcs probably love that citrus cherry flavor. The Alliance beverage is blue and "packs a punch of wild fruit flavor". Ironically, so do I. Both drinks are available now and guarantee to be packed with previously unheard of amounts of performance reducing yellow #5. Mmmm.
Thanks to PsychoSane13, who can't make up his mind and probably leaning towards psycho. Also, the red drink.
This is a television advertisement for Mountain Dew Game Fuel: World Of Warcraft. I don't want to spoil it for you, but I'm going to: two chicks turn into World of Warcraft characters and start battling right there at the grocery store checkout. Obviously, I would do them bot... / Continue →

Borscht Belt
(The last letter is surely one I will need to revisit, there is too much to process all at once.)
In the last letter Sylvia spent a long time talking about what Adrienne ate. She mentions the creamy milk and the quarter of a chicken that "Baby" happily devoured. The letter, written in 1944, indirectly addresses the rationing that the nation was dealing with during WWII. Families were issued ration books and points based on family size which served as a kind of currency for Americans. Meat and dairy products were parcelled out sparingly. Companies like Kraft gained popularity with their boxed macaroni and cheese to substitute for scarce fresh foods. "The government also printed a monthly meal-planning guide with recipes and a daily menu. Good Housekeeping magazine printed a special section for rationed foods in its 1943 cookbook." (http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1674.html) It also became a mark of patriotism to "go without." You were supporting the troops by giving up a portion of the meat you might normally consume. When possible, families started their own gardens (named, of course, Victory Gardens). Of course, as this picture to the right points out, a good housewife would never complain about her hardships. She is a cute domesticated Rosie-The -Rationer.
It is so difficult, sometimes, to understand how many different ways the war impacted people's daily lives, how much everyone was forced to adjust. The very basics – family, food and shelter – could not be taken for granted. Even when you built a family, had enough food, and made yourself a home – it all teetered on a tentative foundation.
Sylvia also talks a lot about how Adrienne misses her father and is jealous of another young girl who is playing with her dad. This heartbreaking scene must have been as painful for Alex to read about as it was for Sylvia to watch. Adrienne is obviously aware of her father's absence, even though she couldn't, at that point, have any tangible memory of him. Sylvia must try to strengthen the bond between father and daughter with her letters and stories (she even devotes a page of the letter to Cookie's scribbles), while trying not to make the distance between them feel any more painful.
An unlikely father figure in this letter is the rabbi who sits in front of Sylvia and Adrienne on their way to the Catskills. A lot of Jewish people from New York traveled to the Catskills when they needed a vacation from the city in the middle of the 20th century (it was such a big phenomenon that it was dubbed the "Borscht Belt"). The rabbi is so good-natured about Adrienne's actions so it leaves me to ponder, once again, my family's relationship with Judaism. Once again Sylvia is representing a group of people. She belongs to an era, a culture, a popular movement even though you could read this letter and feel like she is completely alone.
We can't know what movements in history we are a part of right now. Nor can we believe that we act independently of the world around us. But I'm also beginning to understand that doing something that may be commonplace (like being a Jew and going to Catskills in the 1940s or, say … being a 20-something with a blog…) can't be dismissed simply as a cliché. An individual's connection to a community, city, country, or culture makes it possible to relate to - and survive in – the world.

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments about Gangster Mustache:
This is not the same mustache shown in the main picture. I ordered it based on the main photo. I needed a slightly overgrown Mexican/style look. When I received it, it was a very thin-lined, trimmed mustache. I went back to the online product to see if I made a mistake when ordering. They actually had 2 alternate photos of the wrong mustache. There is no way of knowing which one you will be getting when you place the order. Very deceiving :(

A bone x-ray may detect fractures, tumors, or degenerative conditions of the bone.
X-ray - bone
The test is performed in a hospital radiology department or in the health care provider's office by an x-ray technician. You will position the bone to be x-rayed on the table, pictures are then taken, and the bone is repositioned, if necessary, for different views.
Inform the health care provider if you are pregnant. You must remove all jewelry.
The x-rays themselves are painless. However, repositioning the bone may be uncomfortable.
A bone x-ray is used to detect fractures, tumors, or degenerative conditions of the bone.
Abnormal findings include fractures, bone tumors, degenerative bone conditions, and osteomyelitis (inflammation of the bone caused by an infection).
Additional conditions under which the test may be performed:
There is low radiation exposure. X-rays are monitored and regulated to provide the minimum amount of radiation exposure needed to produce the image. Most experts feel that the risk is low compared with the benefits.
Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of the x-ray. A protective shield may be worn over areas not being scanned.

The main storyline today wasn't the Detroit Tigers winning 6-4 in come from behind fashion over the Baltimore Orioles. Nice as a win is, the real stories were Gerald Laird's knee injury. Duane Below's ineffectiveness keeping the door open for Drew Smyly to win the 5th starter job and the return of Miguel Cabrera to the lineup.
With all other in-house options having been sent to Tiger Town, the 5th starter derby is down to Below and Smyly, with Smyly having the inside track. Below may have the edge in experience, but Smyly has been the better pitcher this spring. But it's damn near a "best performance in your last spring training start wins the gig" situation. Both were scheduled to start a game before Grapefruit League play ended, Below getting the nod today.
Saying Below struggled to find the plate is being generous. He walked 4, allowed 3 hits and 3 runs, all in just 3 1/3 innings After Below channeled his inner Fernando Rodney against the Orioles, odds are Smyly just might win a rotation spot with a good start on versus the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday.
With the 5th starter spot still in question, let the punny stuff begin!
On the behalf of the BYB staff...I apologize!
From all accounts, initially the Laird injury did not look good. Don Kelly, playing 1s base, slid into Laird's knee trying to catch a foul pop. Beat writer Twitter reports claimed Laird was in visible pain, needed to be helped off the field, unable to put weight on his left knee. Immediately, thoughts of Brandon Inge becoming the Tigers' backup catcher ran rampant in the game thread and on the social networks.
MLB's Jason Beck, Becks Blog:
Laird will be re-evaluated on Saturday, according to the team. He'll be evaluated on a day-to-day basis from there, but Laird said he should be ready to go again in a couple days.
"It's all right, right now," he said. "It feels fine. My biggest goal is to be healthy for the season. I'm just glad I can make the season. Being a catcher, I don't want to mess with the knees."
You can now stop speculating on Inge, Omir Santos, Pudge Rodriguez, or anyone else backing up iron man Alex Avila. G$ will be on the job!
Also of note was the return of Cabrera to both the starting lineup and 3rd base. He has not missed a beat since breaking his orbital bone, clubbing a 2 RBI double in his first at bat, going 2-3 on the day, and easily handling the one ball hit to him. I think Cabrera is ready for the regular season...as are we all!
For the game itself, the Tigers pulled out a victory thanks to the bat of prospect Tony Plagman. Plagman homered in the 7th to tie the game at 4 all, then gave the Tigers their winning margin in the 9th with a 2 RBI triple to right.
Forced to stretch out due to Below leaving the game early, the Tigers' bullpen was a standout. Luis Marte, Kevin Faulk, Octavio Dotel and Brayan Villarreal (who got the W) combining to toss 5 2/3 innings of 1 hit, 1 run, 8 K ball. Entering the game for Below, Marte may have clinched a spot in the bullpen by striking out 5 in 2 1/3 innings.
The home stretch of spring training continues Saturday afternoon, as the Atlanta Braves take on the Tigers in Lakeland. FSD will carry the game, so we can all see Rod Allen's starring turn in the new Ace Hardware commercial.

The GFTU is targetting youth development for trade unions, A range of initiatives are being developed to ensure the trade union movement is preparing solidly for the future generations of trade unionists.
Following on Conference decisions and detailed Executive discussions the GFTU is drawing up a whole range of initiatives. Two key elements are a special Youth Conference to bring key activists together and plans for a Yiouth Officer at the GFTU to develop work strands. New GFTU General Secretary Doug Nicholls with his long experience in the Community & Youth Workers Union, later as a National Officer for UNITE when CYWU joined UNITE, sees this as a central theme for the GFTU as trade unions face the challemges in the current economic climate.
