Avera McKennan's Thanksgiving Harvest of Hope project is in its 4th year now, partnering with the Salvation Army ,more than 300 families in the Sioux Falls area were able to enjoy a thanksgiving meal in their own homes on Thanksgiving Day with their dignity in tact.
Nancy Naeve Brown met a grateful family last year who was on the receiving end of this heart warming project.
Ann Burns and Jen Grossman at Avera McKennan are carrying out everything Avera stands for; a mission to make a positive impact in the lives and health of other people and in the community. Ann and Jen are delivering a Thanksgiving Harvest of Hope. It's a project Avera McKennan started 3 years ago with the Salvation Army. Departments within the hospital put together gift boxes with all the ingredients, plus extra staples, so families-in-need in the Sioux Falls area can make a Thanksgiving feast in their own home. Donna Taft is recovering from emergency knee surgery that couldn't wait until after the holiday.
Donna says, "I was worried how I was going to take care of other people."
Donna typically invites people from the Gospel Mission over to her house for Thanksgiving and Christmas and knew she couldn't do that this year. She was so surprised to learn someone added her name to the list of recipients for the Harvest of Hope.
Donna says, "Wow. I just had the warmth in my heart that there are other people out there that care to help others like I've been taught to do."
Jen Grossman heads up this project as the Volunteer Services Director at Avera McKennan. She says, "It's amazing. Especially because I was able to talk to Donna on the phone and get to know her and that she opened her home to us and hopefully helps her have a fabulous holiday. It's pretty exciting."
Ann and Jen really went the distance with their delivery by putting all the goodies away and the extra effort didn't go unnoticed.
Donna says, "I say you all are a bunch of wonderful people and caring. God blesses you all in every way for all the kindness and the caring. I can't say enough. I really can't."
She doesn't have to. The thankfulness is written all over her face.
Happy Thanksgiving!
For folks like Donna who can't get to the Salvation Army to pick up their boxes, employees at Avera McKennan volunteered to hand deliver them.

Well, about a month or so ago I decided to set into motion the project of finding a "cub" and restoring it. My family knows I love to take old things and make them new again..... but a tractor, I planned on keeping a little hush hush from mom and dad as sometimes they think I go " over the top" in my " wanting things" instead of saving more money in the bank. And me living just outside of Philadelphia.... a tractor just does not fit.... but I'll find one....
Well, last week I decided to let it out of the bag and tell my step dad. Hes 68 and sometimes, to me seems to be very forgetful on the little things.... he's still very "with it" and whitty.... grew up around small farms / plots of land... but never lived on a farm.... nor has any great affection to farm life... but he was a kid growing up in the rural Pennsylvania 1950's... now a retired steel worker and antique peddler
So over the phone I tell him " I think I am going to find a farmall Cub for my next project"....
he says " oh the small one"
me " you know them"?
dad " yeah, Joe... joe.. what the hellishisname had one, and bob kuzma had a Super C and old man wilson had a H"
me " you rememebr all those tractors"
dad " Heck yeah, what ya think i have alzheimers?"
me "sometimes"
Me " so what do you think about me getting a cub"
Him , in a laughing tone " I've seen you waste more money on dumber things so why not"
in a nutshell, it amazed me that my stepdad, who barely cares to remember what year I graduated school or what he ate for dinner last night, can remember what Farmalls were around his stopming grounds 50 years ago.
something about tractors......

Beautiful view and great location
This was a great house. The large patios and view were beautiful. The house was clean and comfortable with plenty of space. I loved it and it was very hard to leave. It was a great location with a great beach just down the street. I visit Long Island every year and will be returning to this house every time. Can't wait til next time!!!
A warm and inviting home
Although we enjoyed our stay, we were disappointed in the comfort of the beds. Also, towels were not satisfactory. When using the washer/dryer, we found that the towels and bedding were left in the dryer. I did call the housekeeper to see if there was an iron available as we had come in for a family wedding. She did not return my call. We really enjoyed the view and ocean breezes. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks again.
Immaculate summer home
The house was perfect and Eva was a wonderful host. She gave us some great info about the area and everything was beautifully organized. We spent 5 days here and it was truly a home away from home. It was convenient to the beach and a short drive from some great restaurants.

Climate change analysis 'one-sided' (From Hampshire Chronicle)

Climate change analysis 'one-sided'
12:21am Wednesday 30th April 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
Treasury assessments of the costs of climate change policies fail to take account of the economic and health benefits of cutting emissions, it has been claimed.
Economic modelling carried out for the Treasury by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) ignores the financial impacts of climate change, such as the flooding that damaged the UK earlier this year.
It also fails to include the potential for creating new jobs in industries such as offshore wind, and the economic and health benefits of tackling emissions, including reduced illness from air pollution, according to analysis by Harvard economist Dr Frank Ackerman.
Campaigners warned the "one-sided" modelling was influencing ministers to water down targets for cutting emissions in the 2020s.
The model from HMRC finds the targets in the fourth carbon budget, which limits the UK's emissions between 2023-27, would reduce economic output compared to weaker goals, a ccording to the report by Dr Ackerman and Joseph Daniel of US-based Synapse Energy Economics.
But simply including conservative figures for the benefits of reducing air pollution wipes out the apparent loss, the analysis claims.
The "computable general equilibrium" (CGE) model, developed for analysing changes to tax policy and recently applied to climate change policies, is not designed to calculate potential employment benefits of public policies, but assumes that everyone already has a job, the report said.
It is also not designed to evaluate health and environmental benefits, calculating only the costs of the policy.
And it focuses only on the UK economy, as if the country is acting alone to cut carbon, the report said.
Dr Ackerman said: "Rapid reduction in carbon emissions will improve public health, create new jobs, and help launch promising new industries and technologies.
"An approach that ignores all these benefits - as the HMRC CGE model does - is sure to misunderstand the real economics of climate policy.
"A person who chooses to wear a blindfold will often report that there is nothing to see, but this tells us more about the viewer than his surroundings.
"The same is true for economic approaches that are blindfolded by their own assumptions, unable to see that they are surrounded by multiple good reasons for a proactive response to the threat of climate change."
Friends of the Earth Economics Campaigner David Powell said: "This report lifts the lid on the Treasury's secretive economic modelling on climate change and shows that it's riddled with flaws and worrying omissions.
"The one-sided model focuses disproportionately on the costs of developing a low-carbon future, while downplaying or overlooking key benefits - and completely ignores the damaging impacts of climate change on our economy.
"That's like moaning about the cost of building a new hospital without considering the benefit of saving lives.
"David Cameron mustn't allow his Chancellor to point to skewed economic models to help torpedo crucial efforts to put the UK in the forefront of tackling climate change."
WWF Head of Energy and Climate Policy Nick Molho added: "Tackling climate change means less risk of the kind of devastating floods that hit the UK earlier this year as well as reducing dangerous air pollution from burning fossil fuels.
"A model which purports to say anything about the economic impacts of tackling climate change and yet ignores the benefits of protecting our environment and our health is quite clearly very problematic."
An HM Treasury spokesman said: " The Government uses the best modelling available, and the impact assessment for the fourth carbon budget uses a range of approaches, clearly setting out the limitations of each.
"Under the fourth carbon budget, government will aim to reduce emissions domestically as far as practical and affordable."

The met office say - 1929/30 was Britain's wettest year in the last 2 centuries. -
The average temperature in 2013 was the same as 1666. -
The rate of sea-level rise ( from NASA, NOAA & Met Office data, published in Nature Climate Change March 23) shows that the rate of sea level rise is 2.4 mm/year = 9inchs/100yrs. -
We are still 2°C colder than when the Romans were here. -
And sadly there has been NO global warming for the last 17 yrs.
To put the carbon scare into perspective – CO2 has increased from 3parts per 10,000 to 4 parts per 10,000 in….150yrs. -
In the last 30yrs CO2 fertilisation correlated with an 11 per cent increase in foliage cover across parts of the arid areas studied in Australia, North America, the Middle East and Africa, See-
To live in a lush green clean world we actually need 3x present CO2 levels.....ask any botanist.

Here's something the HMRC won't ignore... in a few years from now I will have a phone with an Air Pollution App which will tell me if Southampton's traffic pollution is exceeding EU legal limits if so it will automatically fine all the reasonable parties...
Read on.. The EU is backing ( Doable Project) low cost continuous pollution monitoring via mobile phones..
Environmental information about CO2, airborne dust and pollen will no longer be collected only at isolated measuring stations. From now on, cyclists, bus drivers and the man in the street will be able to do their bit.
Twenty portable sensors will be issued to volunteers in the city and to employees such as traffic wardens who are exposed to urban pollution at work.
By Åse Dragland
24 Feb 2014
"More and better information is particularly valuable on days of high pollution or high pollen counts. Making their own measurements will get the general public involved in their own environment. Everybody can now receive useful feedback about the conditions around us.
"TECHNOLOGY WILL BE DEVELOPED BY WAY OF THE EU PROJECTS CITI-SENSE AND CITI-SENSE-MOB. THESE WILL ENABLE ORDINARY PEOPLE TO COLLECT ENVIRONMENTAL DATA. Research scientists from the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) and SINTEF are already well under way with the Norwegian contribution."
"We are now having discussions with Oslo Municipality about fitting buses with sensors to measure air quality along the roads. The bus drivers themselves will also find this information useful as they will see how acceleration and driving style affects the results and can learn to drive in a more ecologically friendly way" says Berre.
Magne Elvik, Operations Manager at Nobina Oslo Vest, confirms that sensors will be tested aboard two gas-powered buses at the beginning of April on routes around Grorud, Sinsen and Oslo Central Station, as well as out to Fornebu. If the tests go according to plan, a further eight buses will be included in the experiment.
Last year was mostly dedicated to testing new technology and getting everything to function so that data could be obtained for later use. The actual measurements will take place in the coming months.
Nuria Castell at NILU says that a total of 40 static sensors will be deployed in Oslo. "Air quality is a matter of public concern in Norway, too," she says. "We will fit sensors to streetlamps, for example, to cover city centre areas where pollution is high, and will also monitor neighbourhoods adjacent to Ring Roads 2 and 3, and at Bygdøy.
Twenty portable sensors will be issued to volunteers in the city and to employees such as traffic wardens who are exposed to urban pollution at work. The citizens of Oslo will also be able to measure air quality when cycling, and at least one sensor will be fitted to an electric bike.
"Admittedly there have been some delays," Castell confirms, "But we are starting this spring with two buses, a bicycle and five fixed sensors. By the end of the summer we aim to have full distribution involving more buses, and in the autumn all the fixed sensors will be installed, as well as those carried by people. Measurements will then be carried out in the city throughout 2015."
In December, SINTEF tested hand-held units for collecting weather and wind data as well as a small lapel button (see video) for measuring UV radiation.
"We have now sent the equipment to Bilbao for large-scale testing," says Arne Berre.
This is because around thirty partners in Europe are busy with measurements and tests. Among other things, they will provide both indoor and outdoor measurements of CO2 levels in schools. With such a large amount of data, the EU will be able to make comparisons and obtain a basis for developing joint solutions as well as for sharing technology.
The next step will deal with how to successfully involve people in future by means of user participation and work groups. The plan is to test the technology with selected individuals in 2014 and then make it more generally available during 2015.
See the www.citi-sense.eu and www.citi-sense-mob.e
u websites for further information.
• The EU's Citi-Sense environmental project (2012-2016) will measure the pollution to which individual citizens are exposed. This is achieved using mini-sensors and other electronic equipment to collect environmental data for an online data register. The objective of the project is to improve quality of life in towns and cities. The project attempts to motivate the local population and improve awareness. 27 partner institutions from nine cities in Europe are involved. The project is headed by NILU.
• The EU's Citi-Sense-MOB project will run from 2013 to 2015 and involves installing sensors on mobile platforms (buses and bicycles) to make regular measurements. Each of the four Norwegian partners has its own principal focus – NILU on the quality of sensor data, SINTEF on integration towards global standards and data visualisation, Kjeller Innovation on the use of sensor data in other applications and UNIK on user involvement.

Penelec wants to help you save money on your old appliances. They're offering $50 for your old, working refrigerator or freezer.
You'll get more money back than that though; switching to a more energy efficient appliance can save you about $150 a year on your utilities bill.
Penelec has teamed up with JACO Environmental to get rid of 70,000 old refrigerators over the past three years.
Penelec wants to get old, inefficient models off the power grid.
"Actually the demand on the electrical grid has seen a change as far as the consumption of residential power at the start of this until now through this energy efficiency program," said Bill Jerin of FirstEnergy.

World leaders resolutely condemned Wednesday's terrorist attack against Israeli citizens in Bulgaria and offered solemn condolences to the victims' families.
US President Barack Obama called Prime Minster Binyamin Netanyahu on Wednesday night to express his condolences over the "barbaric" attack, which he called "outrageous." The two leaders agreed that the US and Israel would work together to investigate the attack.
A bomb tore through a bus of Israeli tourists at Bulgaria's Burgas Airport Wednesday night, killing seven people.
"As Israel has tragically once more been a target of terrorism, the United States reaffirms our unshakeable commitment to Israel's security, and our deep friendship and solidarity with the Israeli people," Obama said in a statement earlier in the evening.
Netanyahu thanked Obama for the call, saying that Iran and Hezbollah are waging a terror campaign around the world. "Iran is a global terror state that must face the consequences of its actions," the prime minister said.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, fresh off a visit to the Holy Land, said the US was ready to offer any assistance Israel needed to apprehend the perpetrators of the "heinous" terrorist attack, which she condemned "in the strongest terms."
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday condemned the attack "in the strongest possible terms," while EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton said she was "shocked" and "appalled" by the acts. "The terrorists who planned and carried out this attack must be brought to justice," Ashton added.
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague offered his condolences as well, saying that "the full tragedy of the attacks is not yet clear."
Sounding a slightly different note, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Nikolay Mladenov on Thursday urged Israeli tourists to continue holidaying in Bulgaria, stating that Wednesday's terror attack was a one-off incident.
Mladenov stressed that the attack was the first of its kind in the country, and that Bulgaria was "one of the friendliest nations" that has good relations with Israelis. He added that if Israelis stopped visiting Bulgaria due to the attack, "this is what the terrorists want to achieve."
Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev said Wednesday that Bulgarian authorities met with members of the Mossad a month ago, but received no warning of an expected attack, the Sofia News Agency reported.
Bulgarian authorities would have acted seriously if they had received advanced warning of a terror attack, he added.

Pony camp introduces children to riding
2:00pm Saturday 22nd February 2014 in News
THEY say diamonds are a girl's best friend.
But at a half-term pony camp held at Huntersfield Equestrian Centre in Little Coxwell, it was Diamond the pony's "swishy tail" that turned the head of Charlotte Leung, seven, from Abingdon.
The Manor Prep School student said: "It was really exciting. I didn't know what I was going to do until they told us. I was very excited and I really enjoyed the event.
"Diamond was the first big pony I have ever ridden. I did some mucking out at the stables and it was actually quite fun."

A young Minneapolis man is sharing his story -- but it's more than a message, it's both a warning and a testament to how quickly and drastically a single condition can completely alter the course of a life.
Dan Edmonson lost both of his legs after he jumped onto a moving train. In his first-ever on-camera interview, he told Fox 9 News that although dealing with the trauma isn't easy, he won't let it stop him from moving forward.
"I ran up and jumped on the train," he recalled. "Went to jump off and I got caught and I fell."
If you ask Edmonson why he did it, he'll tell you he was clear-headed and wanted an adrenaline rush.
"He wasn't intoxicated," Roscoe Bendtensen, a friend of Edmonson who was walking home with him after a night out before the accident, recalled. "I wasn't worried about him when he jumped the train. I was like, 'Oh, he made it. Cool! I'll see him when I get to the house."
Shortly thereafter, Bendtensen realized his friend would not be house-bound for a long time.
"All of a sudden, I hear somebody yelling," he remembered.
It was early on the morning of Feb. 1 when Edmonson made his life-changing move on Nicollet Island.
"I don't know much other than that the next thing I knew, I was being dragged by a train, headed toward the bridge by the river," Edmondson said.
Edmonson said he realized his leg had been severed when he reached down to feel it, and he tried to use his belt as a tourniquet.
"Soon as I saw that, I thought to myself, 'If he could stand up, he would," Bendtensen said. "I had my phone out of my pocket and was already calling 911 as I was running down."
Officers arrived, applied their tourniquets and rushed Edmonson to HCMC. In retrospect, he concedes the decision was bad one, but even though it left him disabled, he doesn't believe it's anything to be ashamed of.
"What I did was stupid. If I could take it back, I would," he said. "I can't. That's a really hard realization. I feel like everybody feels like that about something in their lives.
Yet, the drummer, fire poi spinner and former personal care assistant told Fox 9 News he feels equipped to cope.
"For years, my career was about empowering people with disabilities," he said. "Then, I wake up one day and realize I am one -- I am disabled."
Edmonson said his attitude is this: Sure, he's lost two limbs but didn't lose his life; although, he will miss swimming.
"I realized the other day, I'm not going to be able to do flip turns because I can't push off the wall," he lamented.
Even so, he doesn't anticipate the loss will slow him down too much. The 30-year-old still plans to run a triathlon.
"I'm not going to let that take away my joy of swimming or drumming or biking, running," he vowed. "That's why I want to do the triathlon. How I'll feel when I cross the finish line? That will be a good day."
Edmonson also wants to turn his traumatic experience into something positive for others. In an effort to give back to help others, he is organizing a benefit concert with the help of some friends. The proceeds will go toward Limbs for Life.
"Once I have prosthetic legs, even though I can't put my toes in the sand, I will start feeling much more normal," he said.

Size as expected. Wonderful shoe for walking and looks. Think they will get to look shabby quickly - as I have found previously - but I have reached the conclusion that for comfort Merrell are the only shoes for me
Sized as Expected
Bought my first barefoot Merrells last year, they were so comfortable I walked them off my feet and replaced them a couple do weeks ago,. They come up slightly smaller & they are no where near as soft as last years ones, I fact they rub on my right foot.. I'm just gutted that I got a pair in black & the cream ones & had them to long to send a pair back. If you had narrow feet then they would be great ..
Smaller than Expected
I use these to walk to & from work in

Julia Serano is a true Renaissance woman: a writer, performer, activist, musician, and biologist. She is best known for her book Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity (Seal Press), a collection of personal essays that reveal how misogyny frames popular assumptions about femininity, and shapes many of the myths and misconceptions people have about transsexual women. Since its publication in 2007, Whipping Girl has garnered rave reviews and has been used as teaching materials in gender studies, queer/LGBTQ studies, psychology and human sexuality courses in colleges and graduate schools across North America.
Julia's second full-length book, Excluded: Making Feminist and Queer Movements More Inclusive, has just been published by Seal Press (October, 2013) and has quickly garnered considerable praise and interest. Autostraddle named it as one of the "Top 10 Queer and Feminist Books of 2013" and it was a Publishing Triangle finalist for this year's Judy Grahn Award for Lesbian Nonfiction
Julia's other writings have appeared in numerous anthologies (including Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and A World Without Rape, Transfeminist Perspectives: in and beyond Transgender and Gender Studies, Best Sex Writing 2013, Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation, and Word Warriors: 30 Leaders in the Women's Spoken Word Movement), and in magazines and websites such as The Advocate, The Daily Beast, Bitch, AlterNet.org, Out, Velvetpark, Ms. Magazine blog, and Feministing.com. Her articles and essays tackle a broad range of topics, including feminism, queer/LGBTQIA+, and trans activism, sexism, sexualization, media stereotypes, psychiatric depictions of gender and sexual minorities, the "nature versus nurture" debate, bisexuality, femininity and femme politics.
Julia is also an accomplished spoken word artist. She is a slam poetry champion (having qualified for finals and/or semifinals in Berkeley, San Francisco, and San Jose in the past) and has performed spoken word at a variety of high profile events, including Toronto Pride, San Francisco Pride Main Stage, The San Francisco Dyke March, Ladyfest Bay Area, and The National Queer Arts Festival.
As a musician, Julia was the lyricist-guitarist-vocalist for the noise-pop trio Bitesize. During their heyday, Bitesize released two critically acclaimed CDs, toured up and down the West Coast, and received college radio airplay nationwide. Julia's current indie-pop solo music project is called *soft vowel sounds* - her first record under that moniker (the four-song Ray versus Macbeth and the Music Box, part one) has recently been released.
Julia is also an event curator. She single-handedly organized the performance series GenderEnders from 2003-06, as well as the 2007 National Queer Arts Festival show The The "Penis" Issue: Trans and Intersex Women Speak Their Minds. And for the last five years, she has been one of the co-curators for the recurring spoken word event Girl Talk: A Trans and Cis Woman Dialogue (2009-2013).
In addition to all this, Julia has a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics from Columbia University, and spent 17 years as a researcher at UC Berkeley in the fields of genetics, evolution and developmental biology. Her understanding of biology, along with her life experiences as a trans woman, give her a unique perspective on gender and sexism that challenges many commonly held beliefs. She has been invited to present keynote talks for diverse array of conferences (including the Lewis and Clark Gender Studies Symposium, Pedagogy of Privilege, At the Border: Transformation and Transition in Contemporary Feminism, Radical Queer Convergence, Philadelphia Trans-Health Conference, Translating Identity Conference, UW's Women's Leadership Conference, and Femme 2008, to name a few), and is routinely invited to college campuses to give performances and presentations on feminism, gender and LGBTQ-related issues.

KSP Offers Tips to Avoid Deer Collisions This Fall
Date of News Release: 10/06/2010
FRANKFORT, Ky. (Oct. 6, 2010) -- With Autumn's arrival and deer hunting season pending, motorists will see increased movement of wildlife throughout the Commonwealth. As a result, motorists are more likely to encounter deer on or near roadways and should be alert to avoid collisions.
Capt. David Jude, Spokesperson for KSP, said motorists need to take extra precautions when driving in the fall.
"It is extremely important to recognize this ever-present risk, especially at this time of year when nearly 50 percent of all collisions with deer occur," remarked Jude.
"Last year, we had 2,989 deer-related collisions in Kentucky with one of those being a fatal collision," added Jude.
Vehicle crashes involving deer on roads kill nearly 100 people nationwide each year and cost millions of dollars in insurance claims, according to the U.S. Dept. of Transportation. The average deer/automobile collision results in approximately $2,000 per claim for repairs and injuries.
Jude offered the following tips for drivers:
- Be extra cautious in the early morning and evening hours. Deer are most active during these low-light periods when humans see worst and reaction time is slow.
- Stay alert when driving through a known deer-crossing zone. If you see one deer, look for more. They often travel in herds.
- Drive at a moderate speed, especially on roads bordering woodlands, parklands, golf courses and streams. However, remember that many deer crashes occur on busy highways near cities.
- Use high beam headlights if there is no oncoming traffic. High beams will reflect in the eyes of deer on or near the roadway, providing increased driver reaction time.
- Upon seeing a deer, immediately slow down. Do not swerve -- this could confuse the deer about where to run. It could also cause you to lose control and hit a tree or another car. It is generally safer to hit the deer rather than running off the road or risking injury to other motorists.
- Deer are often unpredictable, especially when faced with blinding headlights, loud horns and fast-moving vehicles. Don't expect them to stay where they are. They can dart in front of you at the last moment, stop in the middle of the road, cross quickly and return to the road or even move toward an approaching vehicle.
- Deer whistles on cars provide little help and blowing the car horn doesn't always solve the problem. Blowing the horn may cause them to move, but not necessarily in the direction you want.
- Always wear your safety belt. Historically, most people injured or killed in deer/auto collisions were not properly restrained.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.

Town Square
May Day, May Day, time to celebrate!
Original post made by Ralph N. Shirlet on May 1, 2010
"Polling established that 94.7% of Tea Party participants do not drink Tea!"
Please let it by my turn to excite the fringe pseudonyms that populate exchanges on the Express Forum. Ofter too fuzzy to be threads, each exchange gathers the fringe beyond right-leaning politics, economics and culture. But there has to be someone who is the catalyst who will comment on subject in someway that the fringe can drift off into their own thoughts and prejudices.
So on this May Day, when around the poll(s) we weave our rainbow of ribbons of multi-colored thoughts and thoughtlessness, let's invite these entertaining pseudonyms to bring their fuzzy threads and dance for a moment in global reality.
Ribbons anyone? There does not seem to be any reason to serve TEA!
Ralph ROFL

I guess you must be speaking about the moron tea baggers.
on May 1, 2010 at 7:23 pm
The Tea Party is gaining momentum, as more and more people realize that Obama's socialist and redistribution of wealth from those who have earned it to those who have not, is not what our great country was founded on. May day is actually a socialist holiday, celebrating Marxism principles of communist countries. I am confident that real Americans realize what a threat his ideology is to our country, and he will not be a two term President.
on May 2, 2010 at 5:52 pm
What, pray tell, is a "real American?" If my views differ from yours, if I voted for Obama and agree with many of his views (which I don't consider socialist...just ask a true Socialist about that), am I not a real American? I believe my first ancestor came to this country sometime around 1580. But then again, I consider Obama, and even recently naturalized immigrants to be every bit as American as I am. Whatever their political views. Why do Tea Partiers think they are MORE American? Seems like pretty un-American attitude to me.

Nogueira is one of the great heavyweight jiu jitsu practitioners in the history of mixed martial arts, and he headed into his fight with Frank Mir on Saturday night with 20 victories by submission and no submission losses. But that all ended when Frank Mir executed a brutal kimura from the top position, appearing to dislocate Nogueira's shoulder and force him to submit in the first round of their fight.
For Mir, it was the second victory of his career over Nogueira -- he also became the first person to finish Nogueira when he beat him by TKO three years ago.
"I'm the first person to knock him out and the first and only person to submit him," Mir said. "I hope that Nogueira is OK. I idolize him."
Although the way Mir finished the fight was brutal, Nogueira had the upper hand early on: Nogueira hit Mir hard with punches and appeared to be close to knocking Mir out. Mir was dazed and looked almost out of it before he recovered on the ground and executed a stunning reversal to get into position to force the tap out.
"I was stunned," Mir said. "He caught me."
Everyone watching had to be stunned by what Mir did to Nogueira: Seeing Nogueira tap out is something many MMA fans thought they'd never witness. Now it has happened.

Dining: Had dinner in Michaelangelos every evening (freestyle) but did sit at same 2 person table with same waiter Jolene and Vladameer. Cannot say enough of the fabulous service and the food was excellent. Lobster served 2nd formal night. Assistance by the staff in Horizon Court was excellent. Always someone there to help. Trident Grill Hamburgers the best you can find. Disappointed in Crown Grill. Ate there last night and filet was tough and lobster too salty. Have ate in Crown Grill numerous times on other ships so was very surpised. Fellow cruiser had rib eye and said it was great.
Entertainment: Shows were short but no big deal. They were entertaining.
Ports: Enjoyed them. Did island tours of the ones we had not seen before.
Had sailed last year with NCL on Epic. Had a good time but the service and food
on the Emerald by far surpassed NCL. I have cruised with Princess before and had thought to try another line for comparison and I think in the future I will be staying with Princess.

Cassandra Barefield's RBI single in the bottom of the first was all the Northwestern State softball team needed to defeat Sam Houston State1-0 Friday morning in the second round of the Southland Conference tournament at the Lady Demon softball complex.
With two outs, Brianna Rodriguez picked up her 19th double of the season in the bottom of the first, and was driven in by Barefield to record the only run of the game.
The Bearkats had multiple chances throughout the contest to combat the one-run deficit as they left seven runners on base through the seventh inning.
Senior Kylie Roos (15-3) picked up the win as she threw a complete game, striking out three and allowing five hits.
SHSU's Meme Quinn (11-8) suffered the loss, striking out seven and allowing just four hits.
Barefield led from the plate posting a one-for-two performance with one RBI, followed by Rodriguez and Tara McKenney going one-for-three.
The Lady Demons move on in the winner's bracket of the SLC tournament as they face Central Arkansas at approximately four o'clock Friday afternoon at the Lady Demon softball complex. UCA defeated No. 1 seeded McNeese State 1-0 in nine innings on Thursday to advance in the bracket.

Green councillor attacks fracking plans
4:29pm Thursday 6th February 2014 in News
Lancashire's Green county councillor has condemned Cuadrilla resources for proposing to drill at two new fracking sites.
The drilling firm this week announced the proposed locations for the wells in the Fylde as it researches the potential of Lancashire's shale gas resources. They are at Roseacre and Little Plumpton. Coun Gina Dowding said: "People in Lancashire wished they''d seen the back of Cuadrilla.
"Now the government is trying to hush local opposition with promises of much-needed funds, but it doesn't change the facts — fracking won't bring down energy bills and is not a solution to climate change. Cuadrilla claims it will be a 'good neighbour' but what their neighbours will get is countless water tankers passing their homes, noise and the threat of pollution of their land and water.
"Every other political party is falling over themselves to support Cuadrilla and an expansion of shale gas drilling in the UK. The Green Party represents those local people who want to make a stand against it."

The Green Party got 0.9% of the national vote at the next election. It is in their interest to stir up fear over anything environmental. The reality is that we have no choice about using shale gas, we will be importing it is we do not produce it ourselves. Lets say, just for the sake of it, we completely de-carbonised our economy tomorrow. What would it change? We produce about 1.75% of global CO2, so even if we fully de-carbonised the rest of the planet would make up for it in 6.5 days. The serious flooding catastrophe shows what we must do in response to global warming. It isn't to simply massively subsidise renewables and have no other power sources and shaft ourselves in the process leaving us unable to pay for everything we need to defend ourselves against what the rest of the world is currently doing. We are going to need a serious amount of money to defend ourselves over the next 150 years. Wishful thinking will not do it, we need a healthy tax base. That means we need jobs and industry.
Presumably enough of the public understand this, and hence why the Green Party gets that 0.9% of the vote in the first place.

This course explores how contemporary written literature in Africa continues to derive a great deal of its vitality from older traditions of verbal art. Initially the course will examine sample texts from the oral tradition. It will next focus on representative texts by major African writers whose works have made use of said oral tradition as well as examine their social and political contexts. The principal concern of the course will be the analysis of the aesthetic implications of the transposition of oral techniques and structural features into the medium of the written/printed word. Conducted in English.

Leland Stanford — the richest man west of the Mississippi, the Croesus who would inspire Frank Norris's anti-monopoly novel "The Octopus" — invited San Francisco's elite to his Nob Hill mansion on Jan. 16, 1880. What his guests saw was something the public had never seen before; it shocked and thrilled them — and later the world. For Edward Muybridge's moving pictures of a horse in motion displayed on a screen would usher in not only the movies but what author Edward Ball views as the age of visual media.
Photographer Muybridge and railroad tycoon Stanford, a bohemian artist and a straitlaced patron, partnered in a revolution that neither had foreseen. It all began with a simple question: Did a galloping horse ever lift all four hooves off the ground at once? Yes, a blurry Muybridge photograph first demonstrated, followed by the more sensational evidence of his movie prototype a few years later.

The Photographers Of Tomorrow Come Together Chez Alaïa-------
It's been a while since Azzedine Alaïa hosted a bash, so no surprise that he had a full house on the Rue de la Verrière last night. The draw: the Paris opening of the second edition of reGENERATION2, a once-every-five-years exhibition dedicated to the great photographers of tomorrow, culled from photography schools the world over. In between greeting guests including 10 Corso Como's Carla Sozzani, Paolo Roversi, and Rupert Everett, co-curator William Ewing noted that times have a-changed even since the last edition of the show, in 2005: "We've come a long way from the hunter-photographer who roams the streets looking for shots," he said. "Theirs is a highly stylized fictional world, even when the subject matter comes from hard reality. It's not about 'new' subject matter, it's about individual visions."
Take, for example, the dream world of Chinese student Liu XiaoFang, who Photoshops her subjects into the clouds (as in The Cloud, above), or the work of Thibault Brunet, whose shots appear lifted from a desolate Iraqi desert scape. The back story: Brunet did those without ever leaving home. "I was spending a lot of time on Grand Theft Auto when it occurred to me that I could use a virtual camera to invent a landscape," Brunet explained.
Surveying the scene, Alaïa conceded that he had a particular preference for a few of the artists, "but it's so hard for young photographers, I won't say who," he said before disappearing back into his atelier.

Just two weeks out from the event, and the undercard of "UFC Fight Night 25" has undergone an abrupt makeover. 'The Ultimate Fighter Season 9' alum DaMarques Johnson (12-9) has been scratched from a welterweight bout with Clay Harvison (9-3) due to undisclosed injuries. Taking his place is 'The Ultimate Fighter Season 11' veteran Seth Baczynski (13-6).
Also announced, Mackens Semerzier (6-3) has been removed from a featherweight bout against Mike Lullo (8-3) due to undisclosed injuries. A replacement opponent is expected to be named shortly. Promotion officials announced the changes Wednesday afternoon.
A well known player within the southwest mixed martial arts scene, Baczynski gets his second shot for the UFC after a run to the quarterfinals of 'TUF 11.' Since losing to Brad Tavares at the show's finale last June, the 29-year-old has railed off two consecutive victories within regional promotions, last claiming the Ringside interim welterweight title in April.
"UFC Fight Night 25: Shields vs. Ellenberger" is headlined by a five-round, non-title welterweight bout between former Strikeforce champion Jake Shields and rising prospect Jake Ellenberger. The event is slated for September 17th at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Among the 375,000 people ordered out of flood zones near water, where storm surge is expected to be high, are Tony Award-nominated actor Stephen Kunken (Enron), his director wife Jenn Thompson (TACT's Lost in Yonkers, The Eccentricities of a Nightingale) and their daughter Naomi, who live in Red Hook, Brooklyn. They said that they removed all lightweight objects from their patio and placed sandbags around their doors and windows. Their apartment is on the ground floor, within a mile of New York Harbour. The Kunken-Thompson family has retreated with their pets deeper into Brooklyn to stay with actor friends Mark Lotito (Jersey Boys) and Valerie Wright (Elf) and their kids. "The kids are 'picnicking' on the floor," Thompson said. Update: The Kunken-Thompsons learned late Monday that their home's lower level suffered serious flooding.
Librettist and Tony-nominated actor Hunter Foster (Little Shop of Horrors, Urinetown, The Hollow) and his actress wife Jennifer Cody "are sitting inside all day, probably watching 'Downton Abbey' — worried that Netflix [streaming] might get overloaded!," Foster said. "She is making soup and dog biscuits, and we have plenty of wine! And I'll maybe work a little on some lines for Inner Voices. If the lights go out, we may work on a little hand-to-hand combat to the death."
Stafford Arima, director of Off-Broadway Carrie and Altar Boyz, said that rehearsals for his next project, the Off-Broadway rock musical Bare, were canceled Monday. "So I am using this time to catch up on some pre-tech paperwork as we begin technical rehearsals at New World Stages in one week." Of his disaster readiness, he said, "Perhaps I'm in denial, but I only semi-prepped for the worst-case scenario. I do have some canned goods, water and non-perishables, but I didn't go into a frenzy and line-up at a grocery store with a basket filled with Chef Boyardee. If we lose power in the city, I have fully charged my iPod so I can use this time to listen to a couple of new albums, including Streisand's 'Release Me.' So many of my friends and colleagues who live in far-more perilous areas surrounding Manhattan have more to be concerned than I do; my prayers go out to them and to every one who will be up against Mother Nature."Continued...

Over 200 people got to taste the recipes of some 31 celebrity chefs Sunday afternoon at Hart's Hill Inn, helping to raise $20,000 for "our life-changing programs" at the Rescue Mission of Utica, Executive Director Rev. Bill Dodge announced.
Veteran "Gourmet Guys" Jack Eisenbach and Stu Card combined their talents to offer an Hungarian Goulash -- a Jewish cookbook recipe "that was closest to what my mother made when I was a kid," Eisenbach said. The people liked it, too, awarding them First Place in the entrée category.
Grant Roser of Roser Communications claimed he "put a lot of love into making" his Tiramisu and said: "Who doesn't like dessert?" The people agreed, awarding the first-time celebrity chef the First Place medal.
Second Place medals went to:
Dave Dudajek of The Observer-Dispatch for his Potato Leek Soup. Dudajek has been a Gourmet Guy chef for every year except last year when he had to attend a wedding in Maryland. "My daughter had the recipe…and said it was good…I thought it would be easy," but with all the prep work, "it was one of the toughest dishes I've made."
Paul Plevritis of New Hartford Wal-Mart for his Lamb with Tzatziki Sauce. "He makes the best leg of roast lamb," his wife, Tina, piped up.
Jeff Zoller of Northwest Mutual Insurance for his Banana Foster -- fresh bananas dunked in a special syrup and served with ice cream.
Since 1992, Gourmet Guys has generated over $355,000 to aid the homeless and needy.
