Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson (1997)
by Mitch Albom
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A very touching book with many different lessons and mantras for life. I read it for school, but I'd read it out if I was given the chance, too.
Great book. Really makes you think about life & how you approach it. I still see Morrie paralyzed & unable to move, but still happy & thinking about others. I saw the original story from Nightline. I love the part where Morrie talks about needing someone to "wipe my a**." The best part about this, they weren't trying to write a best seller. They just wanted to pay Morrie's medical expenses. Maybe that's why the book is so successful. It's real.
This is a must read book. An old man tells his life's highlights and what he learned from that journey. It isn't a cheesy book like so many books on the market today. I enjoyed it. It was an easy read. it isn't hardcore self-help, so it is for everyone, no technical endless words. It is as if talking to a friend about life's most important things, like death and love and sickness and grief... I highly recomand it :)
It puts everything back in perspective. I loved hearing the author read the book, and the actual interview at the end.
oh, what can I say ? :'(
my tears at every end with Mitch Albom Books will tell you ..
Morrie's peacefulness and kindness and simplicity remind me of my dead grandfather , he didn't tell us about life NO, we could see it in the way he treats it and treats the people around him.
I can tell he has no opponent he died peacefully as Morrie :")
God's mercy be upon you ..
I saw/read s lot of Morrie's life's instructions were connected to the Islamic simple principles how we should leave the materialistic things and give all our attention to the spiritual ones
caring and loving.. If I want to Quote I'll Quote all the book :P even the book cover "Tuesdays With Morrie" see how simple he was ?
this is really moving I can't save my review without mentioning it:
"Don't let go too soon, but don't hold on too long."
hahaaa and this too :
"Forget what the culture says. I have ignored the culture much of my life. I am not going to be ashamed. What's the big deal?"
In Arabic : يا حوينتك يا "موري" ليش ما متت مسلم ؟ الله يرحم
The deceptively simple story of a deathbed seminar
on life. It is as sweet and as nourishing as fresh summer corn.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 076790592X, Paperback)This true story about the love between a spiritual mentor and his pupil has soared to the bestseller list for many reasons. For starters: it reminds us of the affection and gratitude that many of us still feel for the significant mentors of our past. It also plays out a fantasy many of us have entertained: what would it be like to look those people up again, tell them how much they meant to us, maybe even resume the mentorship? Plus, we meet Morrie Schwartz--a one of a kind professor, whom the author describes as looking like a cross between a biblical prophet and Christmas elf. And finally we are privy to intimate moments of Morrie's final days as he lies dying from a terminal illness. Even on his deathbed, this twinkling-eyed mensch manages to teach us all about living robustly and fully. Kudos to author and acclaimed sports columnist Mitch Albom for telling this universally touching story with such grace and humility. --Gail Hudson

Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live. Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.… (more)

Vermonters protest flood insurance hikesBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | September 29,2013MONTPELIER Vermonters gathered Saturday on the Statehouse lawn to bring attention to the massive increases in flood insurance premiums expected Tuesday, and to call on Congress to stop it.
Similar rallies took place in 10 other states around the country, according to Vermont organizer Chris Winters. All of them aimed to curtail the effects of the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012.
The law called for changes to the National Flood Insurance Program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Among the requirements was to raise rates to reflect true flood risk and make the program more financially stable. It also called for changes to FEMA flood maps.
Winters, who owns a home in Berlin along the Dog River, said the law is having a major, negative impact on homeowners across the country.
Its because of newly drawn maps and because of the Biggert-Waters Act of 2012 thats trying to balance the budget for FEMA, and theyre doing it on the backs of the policyholders, he said.
Winters said he became involved after learning about the laws impact on his own family from his mortgage company.
We received a letter from our mortgage holder that we have to get flood insurance a couple of months ago. As we looked into it and looked into quotes we were shocked to find our bill was going to be $8,000 a year, he said.
Now, Winters says he is trying to determine what his family will do. His home, a former sawmill built in 1848, did not flood during Tropical Storm Irene. Nonetheless, it is now considered to be in a high-risk flood zone based on new FEMA maps, Winters said.
We cant afford to move, because if we try to sell, whos going to take on an additional $8,000 yearly bill? he said. So were in a really bad spot and we still dont know what were going to do. The one thing we thought we could control is making some noise about this and letting people know.
People who already have insurance policies will also see rate hikes. Rates for existing flood insurance will see a 25 percent increase in policy costs each year until they hit the new rates standard, according to Winters. The higher rates will also kick in if a home is sold, he said.
Sen. Anthony Pollina, P/D-Washington, attended the rally to show his support for alleviating the impacts on homeowners.
Its really unfair to hit people so hard with these big increases, Pollina said. Its kind of like Congress does things without thinking about the impact on people who are already struggling.
He said there is little the state can do other than urge Congress to address the issue.
Congress did it and Congress needs to fix it, Pollina said.
Vermonts three-man congressional delegation is engaged, according to Winters. He said the delegation Sen. Patrick Leahy, Sen. Bernard Sanders and Rep. Peter Welch have written to leaders in both the House and Senate urging a delay in the rate hikes until an affordability study that was required in the law is completed.
Matching insurance rates to current flood risk is good policy, the delegation wrote in a letter dated Sept. 27. However, the new rates are hitting families and small businesses with unexpected and steep new rates. Therefore, we urge you to consider a postponement of these costly increases until FEMA can assure policyholders that the rates are fair.
Winters said he hopes Congress will address the issue in a bipartisan manner.
Theyre distracted by a whole lot of things down there, he said. A lot of gamesmanship and budget things. Its a mistake that they made and they all recognize its a mistake now. There are a lot of people behind this, both Republicans and Democrats. It was a bipartisan mistake. Id like to see them do a bipartisan fix.

I really love this area and the location of our vacation home. There is so much to do here. Everything is so close and convenient, yet its peaceful and quiet if you prefer a relaxing trip. You can drive everywhere but the walking is so nice with the beautiful grounds and lakes.

The festival founder revealed that it will be "one of the biggest-selling bands in the world at the moment", and confirmed that it will be the group's debut at Worthy Farm, Somerset.
"We are expecting to announce the full line-up at the beginning of May and everything is now in place. We are more than happy with the calibre of the acts and the headliner on Saturday will be one of the biggest-selling bands in the world at the moment," he told Bristol Post.
Arcade Fire and Kasabian have already been confirmed for the Friday and Sunday slots at the festival respectively but the Saturday night headliner has not yet been revealed.
Michael, whose daughter Emily helps him with booking the acts, said they had not "considered" asking Oasis to perform. Liam Gallagher sparked speculation that the band could be reforming after he tweeted the letters O A S I S and OASIS LG on April 24.
But Michael said: "The Oasis thing had nothing to do with us, we hadn't even considered asking them. They've played at the festival three or four times and they're a great band.
"I'm not sure that Noel is ready to go back on the road with Oasis because he has his own band at the moment. I think if it were to happen and they did come back to Glastonbury it would probably be in four or five years time - I can't see it happening before then."
Meanwhile, Noel Gallagher joked that he would get his Oasis bandmates back together for £500 million - or 500 million condoms.
"I was in the newsagent the other day when the story broke and the Daily Star said, 'Oasis to get back together for £500 million', which is half a billion. I'd do it for half a billion anything: Yorkshire Tea bags, condoms, Pot Noodles," he told Talksport.

By TRAVIS LOLLERAssociated Press
NASHVILLE (AP) - For years, Tennessee history buff Bill Carey has been concerned about the lack of state history in the schools. Now he is seizing what he thinks is an opportunity to reverse that trend.
Carey is taking advantage of the new Common Core standards that require English and reading teachers to make use of more nonfiction.
He said many English and reading teachers don't know where to find good nonfiction texts. His nonprofit, Tennessee History for Kids, has created two booklets for use in those classes.
One for elementary and middle school is composed of historical essays with titles like "David Crockett loses his pants."
The high school booklet mostly uses primary sources. So "A trip for some powder" is written by David Crockett himself.
More information is available at the History for Kids website.

Miami-Pittsburgh game could be moved to later in 2010 season
By Jorge Milian
Planning on flying to Pittsburgh to watch the Hurricanes and Panthers play at Heinz Field on Sept. 25?
Don't book those tickets just yet.
UM athletic director Kirby Hocutt told me Wednesday night that he is hoping to get the game pushed back to later in the 2010 season so that the Hurricanes can play a home game against an ACC opponent on Sept. 25.
As it stands now, Miami is scheduled to open the season at home on Saturday, Sept. 4 against Florida A&M, but that game is almost certain to be moved to Thursday, Sept. 2, according to Hocutt.
The schedule follows with a road trip to Columbus, Ohio to face Ohio State on Sept. 11.
Depending on what happens with the Pittsburgh game, the Hurricanes will either have a bye week on Sept. 18 or play on the road against an ACC team. UM will not play a home game on Sept. 18 because it conflicts with Yom Kippur, Hocutt said.
If Pittsburgh doesn't agree to move the game, the originally scheduled date of Sept. 25 could still get changed. In that case, UM would have a bye week on Sept. 18 and face the Panthers on Thursday, Sept. 23.
One of the big considerations in regards to moving the Pittsburgh game is to give the Hurricanes a bye week later in the season. As it stands now, UM would be off the third week of a 12-game regular season. That's hardly optimal.
Hocutt said he was unsure whether Pittsburgh would agree to the move.
Few other notes:
….Tuesday night's 79-75 fold-up against Boston College was as disheartening a defeat as I've seen the Hurricanes suffer on the basketball court since I began covering this team. I hate to be Dave Downer, but with three of their next four games on the road, things look like they will get worse before they get better. The lack of a reliable go-to guy in crunch time is a glaring problem.
….Don't count Scott Kennedy, director of scouting for Scout.com, as a big fan of UM recruit Storm Johnson. Johnson, a running back from Buford, Ga., is ranked No. 22 by ESPNU among the nation's top 150 prospects, but is listed No. 40 – among running backs – by Scout.com. "Normally, the different recruiting services are fairly along the same line, but there's some pretty big discrepancies with Storm," Kennedy said. "What worries me about Storm is that he's a 215-pound, 220-pound scatback. You can out-athlete guys on the high school level, but you got to start running tough. I don't know that he's a tough runner at 220 pounds. He's not going to be able to juke people and outrun people and fake them out at 220 pounds at the college level. He's going to have to break some tackles and hit some people, and he doesn't."
….I was told Tuesday night that Graig Cooper has undergone surgery and thought that it went so well that he's confident of returning to play next season. We will see.
….ESPN's Mel Kiper lists three Hurricanes among the Top 5 players at their respective positions heading into the 2010 season. Leonard Hankerson is ranked third at receiver behind LSU's Terrance Toliver and Cincinnati's Armon Binns. Orlando Franklin is No. 5 among guards, although he's expected to play left tackle next season. Allen Bailey is second among defensive ends behind Iowa's Adrian Clayborn.

Postcard: Along the Sacandaga River
Sep 16, 2005 — It's possible to grow up--and grow old--in a North Country town, never quite noticing its treasures.

Aug 26, 2005 — For the second year in a row, Watertown will host a major freestyle kayaking competition this weekend on the Black River. Preliminary rounds start today at noon, with the semifinals Saturday, and the finals on Sunday. The event has had to cope with some bad luck. Earlier this summer, a boulder rolled into the wave the kayakers use to perform their tricks. And just two weeks ago, millions of gallons of cow manure floated down the river following a spill near Lowville. Organizer Jamie Mayer says the boulder was removed, the water's clean, and the kayakers aren't deterred. David Sommerstein attended last year's Blackwater Challenge and filed this story.

Mark A. FredetteJanuary 25,2013Mark A. Fredette
NORTH CHITTENDEN Mark Allen Fredette, 64, died peacefully Wednesday morning, January 23, 2013, of cancer.
He was born November 29, 1948, in Rutland, the son of Yvonne (Davis) and Louis R. Fredette. He lived his entire life in the Rutland area, growing up with good friends and enjoying many adventures.
Mark was an integral part of a joyful and prolonged social scene on Center Street during the 70s and early-80s, bartending at Center Street Saloon, the Back Home Café, Petronis and Off Center. He was a passionate motorcyclist, golfer, hiker, traveler and lover of the outdoors. He created the Holden General Store in North Chittenden, providing a valued source of community for five-and-a-half years. Most recently, he enjoyed working at Keiths II in Pittsford.
Mark was predeceased by both parents. He is survived by his wife, Julie; daughter Carrie; sister Shelley; nephew-son Brett Smith and his partner Rosa Walker and their daughter Aster; and extended family and friends.
Mark was a gentle philosopher, a gifted dreamer and a wonderful friend, brother, father, grandfather and husband. He will be missed by many.
A celebration of his life will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 27, at the Barstow Elementary School gym.
Donations, in lieu of flowers, may be made in Marks name to Vermont Foodbank, Rutland Area Hospice or Rutland County Humane Society.MORE IN Obituaries0828 RH Obits Withington brief no photo no flag Full Story0828 RH Obits Patch paid photo flag Full Story0828 RH Obits Donahue rites no photo no flag Full Story

Continuing its upward journey, gold prices rose 0.27 per cent to Rs 32,720 per 10 grams at the futures trade today as speculators indulged in creating positions driven by a firming trend overseas.
A firming trend in the spot market on increased buying ahead of marriage and festive season also helped gold to rise at the futures trade here.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for delivery in February shot up by Rs 88 or 0.27 per cent to trade at Rs 32,720 per 10 grams with a turnover of three lots.
Similarly, gold for December delivery gained Rs 28 or 0.09 per cent to trade at Rs 32,317 per 10 grams clocking a business volume of 119 lots. Gold for delivery in October also edged up by Rs 27 or 0.08 per cent to trade at Rs 31,934 per 10 grams in a turnover of 1,287 lots.
In the domestic spot market yesterday, the yellow metal had gained Rs 50 to hit an all-time high of Rs 32,500 per 10 gram in the national capital.
Marketmen said the persistent rise in gold prices at the futures trade was mostly due to a firming trend overseas as the outlook for more stimulus from the US Federal Reserve spurred the demand for the precious metal as a store of value.
Meanwhile, gold gained 0.4 per cent to $1,732.60 an ounce in Singapore.

Things to do for a successful group project (part 2)
09/06/11 - 07:49:38 PM - Jay Bhatt
Continued from: Things to do for a successful group project (part 1)
Remember that your work is important. Be committed to your assigned tasks.
- Your work is important to not only yourself but also to other team members. Your quality of work will impact the entire group.
- Ask yourself: What else do I need to learn to make sure I am not missing anything for my assignment? How do I get more information about it?
- Continue consulting with appropriate librarians and relevant library resources available from Library's website.
- Compile work or at least make sure that it gets properly compiled. Especially in the final report, make sure that there is harmony from one section to the next. Make sure that it is no longer a "rough" draft.
- Check to make sure that assignments were indeed turned in. If someone else is working on the website or turning in a progress report, make sure that it is gets submitted on time.
Have fun with your project
- Being friendly and having a good laugh every once in a while will have a rejuvenating effect on everyone.
- It is good to always stay serious and focused, but that does not mean that you cannot enjoy each other's company and keep each other light-hearted.
Everyone is different. Find unity in diversity
- Understand that it is to your advantage if everyone is different. People are not always going to act in the exact manner that you would, but that indeed strengthens a group.
- Working with a diverse group with varied expertise for Engineering Design project is more fun than with a group of clones.
- Everyone has their own style and approach, and it is through those that your final product will turn out well polished.
- Everyone brings an inspecting eye that looked from a different vantage point.
Note: Jacob Clouse and the members of his freshman engineering design team provided useful suggestions and analysis of why their group project was successful. Some of their recommendations are included above.

Changing the world one ad at a time
Being head of mobile advertising for Google Canada is a role that's a natural fit for Eric, who says he was fascinated by the web ever since receiving his first email address during his student days at Queen's.
Marketing is increasingly going mobile, and much of this momentum has to do with Eric Morris, Artsci'99. As head of mobile advertising for Google Canada, Eric is playing a major role in shaping how businesses promote themselves and how we interact with ads on our wireless devices. And with more and more of us browsing and buying goods and services on our smartphones, tablets, and laptops, he says it's increasingly critical for companies to connect with potential customers in the mobile arena.
"We don't live in a one- or two-screen world anymore. We don't just watch TV or use our desktop computer. Now people always have a persistent high-speed Internet connection in their pocket, and forward-thinking companies are adopting this marketing channel," Eric says.
Most do so through Google; digital-commerce research firm eMarketer reported this month that the company controls 54 per cent of the U.S. mobile ad market, which last year was worth $1.45 billion. Eric and his small team, who work out of the company's Toronto office, help companies, marketers, and ad agencies figure out which mobile advertising vehicle works best for them – Google's search engine website, content sites, or applications.
It's a role that's a natural fit for someone who says he was fascinated by the web ever since he got his first email address during his student days at Queen's. At the same time, he was keenly into media, and served as editor-in-chief and business manager of The Queen's Journal. "I discovered the Internet in my formative years, and I was just mesmerized – the first time I saw it, it just changed my life," Eric recalls. "I was also very interested in the business and editorial side of the paper. When I graduated, I decided I wanted to focus on an area where media, technology and business intersect – online advertising."
Eric began his Internet career at digital advertising firm Double Click Inc. (now owned by Google). He joined Google as a senior account executive in 2002 just as the company was setting up shop in Canada, becoming its second employee. As the company has grown here – it now has more than 100 employees in Toronto and locations in Montreal and Waterloo – so has Eric's career within it. He was promoted in 2009 to head of industry, which involved managing online advertising, analytics, and research solutions for the automotive sector, before beginning his current role in July 2011.
Eric is always looking ahead to the ideas and trends that will influence the mobile marketing space, even as he himself influences those forces with the new services he pioneers for Google. He expects mobile ads to become increasingly customized and relevant to consumers' interests, with geo-targeted advertising – store promos geared around someone's real-time location – becoming more popular.
As for his prediction about his career at Google, Eric is optimistic. "I'm working for a company that is changing the world, where people almost universally love our product, and where I have a lot of latitude to try new things and create my career path, so I'm proud to work here," he says.

Mac OS X Leopard: A perfect 10
Apple's new operating system and its massive new feature set challenge users and developers to explore new and better ways of workingFollow @infoworld
No one is unhappy with Mac OS X Version 10.4, known as Tiger. OS X is not an application platform (I bristle at using the term "operating system" for OS X; I explain why below) that needed repair, speeding up, or exterior renovation. Motivations for major upgrades of competing system software — roll-ups of an unmanageable number of fixes, because the calendar says it's time, or because users are perceived to have version fatigue — don't apply to OS X. Apple wields no whip to force upgrades because Tiger stands no risk of being neglected by Apple or third-party developers as long as Leopard lives. Despite the absence of a stick that drives users into upgrades of competing OSes, or perhaps because of it, Apple enjoys an extraordinary rate of voluntary OS X upgrades among desktop and notebook users. Why? People buy Macs because the platform as a whole is perfect, full stop. Leopard is a rung above perfection. It's taken as rote that the Mac blows away PC users' expectations. Leopard blows away Mac users' expectations, and that's saying a great deal.
[ Leopard was selected to receive an InfoWorld Technology of the Year award. See the slideshow of all the winners in the platforms category. ]
Apple's secret, which is no secret to Mac users, is that major OS X releases deliver tangible value far in excess of their asking price, which in Leopard's case is $129. OS X is, first and foremost, a platform for integrated, user-facing applications. And to a far greater extent than previous releases, OS X Leopard itself exploits the facilities that Apple's developers have used to create the vendor's commercial software. Apple hasn't reserved any of the Mac platform's goodies for itself, and users don't need to wait (or spend) for apps that expose the platform's richness in productive ways.
Click for larger view.
Freedom in the frameworks
Looking at it from a technical perspective, Leopard's step past perfection lies in its extensive use of the combination of the Mac platform's intrinsic integration and Leopard's delivery of hundreds of additions and enhancements to OS X's frameworks.
Apple supplies a consistent, familiar, and well-documented path for developers to do any given thing. In contrast, an entire industry has sprung up around providing developers with proprietary plugs for the gaps that Microsoft leaves in Windows, often intentionally as an aid to the third-party development community. The completeness of the Mac frameworks leaves no room for a marketplace for Mac developer library enhancements.

New Bird Dog
My wife came with me to Nebraska a week ago when I went pheasant hunting. I have Llewellin Setters, she brought her Westie and joked about me taking him hunting. He was very interested in a bird when I was cleaning it, couldn't resist taking the below picture. He ain't a bird dog, but sure wants to be... but is a great companion, always gives us a reason to smile. (made my wife happy posting for others to see )

Re: New Bird Dog
I got my first Llewellin setter, Rudy, from a guy from IL that I met at work 13 years ago, he has been a family member and a great hunter. He would literally hunt until he dropped if you let him. I got my second one from a guy outside of St. Louis, he has been great, but in different ways, guess they are like kids, each has their own personality. Rudy is not doing well and I am dreading the day I have to make a hard decision. The guy I got Rudy from bought 2 Llewellin setters from a breeder in PA somewhere. They are around, it is kind of funny when someone recognizes them.

Famous Short Sensual Poems. Short Sensual Poetry by Famous Poets. A collection of the all-time best Sensual short poems
See also: Best Famous Short Poems | Short Member Poems | Best Short Member Poems | Top 100 Famous Short Poems
The profoundest of all sensualities
is the sense of truth
and the next deepest sensual experience
is the sense of justice.
Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife!
To all the sensual world proclaim,
One crowded hour of glorious life
Is worth an age without a name.
when the body of a woman dissolves
within are the three feared faces
the man who dares to trace them comes
to grief - but nothing personal is meant
waves and particles transvest - vulva
breast and womb are sexless doors
beyond whose suck a sensual light
swings life round its little finger
Like beautiful bodies of the dead who had not grown old
and they shut them, with tears, in a magnificent mausoleum,
with roses at the head and jasmine at the feet --
this is what desires resemble that have passed
without fulfillment; with none of them having achieved
a night of sensual delight, or a bright morning.
Twenty-four years remind the tears of my eyes.
(Bury the dead for fear that they walk to the grave in labour.)
In the groin of the natural doorway I crouched like a tailor
Sewing a shroud for a journey
By the light of the meat-eating sun.
Dressed to die, the sensual strut begun,
With my red veins full of money,
In the final direction of the elementary town
I advance as long as forever is.
Let me stop here. Let me, too, look at nature awhile.
The brilliant blue of the morning sea, of the cloudless sky,
the yellow shore; all lovely,
all bathed in light.
Let me stand here. And let me pretend I see all this
(I really did see it for a minute when I first stopped)
and not my usual day-dreams here too,
my memories, those images of sensual pleasure.
trans. by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard
The years of my youth, my sensual life --
how clearly I see their meaning now.
What needless repentances, how futile....
But I did not understand the meaning then.
In the dissolute life of my youth
the desires of my poetry were being formed,
the scope of my art was being plotted.
This is why my repentances were never stable.
And my resolutions to control myself, to change
lasted for two weeks at the very most.
He's an old man. Used up and bent,
crippled by time and indulgence,
he slowly walks along the narrow street.
But when he goes inside his house to hide
the shambles of his old age, his mind turns
to the share in youth that still belongs to him.
His verse is now recited by young men.
His visions come before their lively eyes.
Their healthy sensual minds,
their shapely taut bodies
stir to his perception of the beautiful.
Trans. by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard
IMAGE of beauty, when I gaze on thee,
Trembling I waken to a mystery,
How through one door we go to life or death
By spirit kindled or the sensual breath.
Image of beauty, when my way I go;
No single joy or sorrow do I know:
Elate for freedom leaps the starry power,
The life which passes mourns its wasted hour.
And, ah, to think how thin the veil that lies
Between the pain of hell and paradise!
Where the cool grass my aching head embowers
God sings the lovely carol of the flowers.

Neighbors oppose planned redwood removals

keep the trees, buy Claritin or Allegra
someday allergic residents will move, but the cut trees won't come back
trees clean the air and add ambiance
there are many ways to cope with allergies
the end result of "tree-cutting to prevent allergies" logic is to cut down all the trees - think about it - pollen travels...

dont touch those trees! clothes dryer odors are much more dangerous than trees!! ban clothes dryer outgassing!!

Why are redwoods protected again? Because they are big?
If the neighbors would like redwoods, planting them is a good alternative. Last time I checked, we have not (yet) passed laws regulating what trees we are allowed to plant.
And to Mr. Doctker's point, redwoods may be native to parts of Palo Alto (like by creek beds, where there is lots of water), but probably not most of it, and certainly to not most people's yards. These were trees planted by people who thought they would look nice. The people who own the house now think otherwise. If they want to chop them down and plant others (or not), it is hard to understand why not.
And the oaks - please don't get me started. Could someone please tell me how I can get grass to grow anywhere under mine? Or ask the city to come by and clean up the constant droppings that cut my kids' feet? In a city with tons of trees, why do we need to protect certain species on private land? Anyone??

The Associated Press reports that Bismack Biyombo, the No. 7 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, has paid his $1.5 million buy-out with Spanish club Fuenlabrada, meaning the Congolese big man is free to join the Charlotte Bobcats in time for the 2011-12 season.
Biyombo had lost a civil suit against Fuenlabrada last week, which appeared to block the big man from beginning his rookie season in Queen City. But Biyombo decided to pay off the buy-out instead of waiting for it to expire or for Fuenlabrada to changes its mind. Under NBA rules, the Bobcats can only pay $500,000 to break an international contract, meaning Biyombo had to forfeit the rest of it himself.
Before taxes and any decrease due to the shortened season but after the NBA's escrow pull, Biyombo was slated to make about $2 million from Charlotte this season. That means that (again, after taxes) nearly Biyombo's entire salary will go to Fuenlabrada. He does not exactly seem the type to land a major endorsement, either. It's quite a selfless move on his part.

Del Norte senior running back Daryl Wiggins is being recruited by UNM and several Division II schools as well.
Wiggins put up some eye-popping numbers last week against Rio Grande. Wiggins rushed for 278 yards and four touchdowns in their 41-21 win over the Ravens.
Wiggins says he doesn't let the stats go to his head.
"I don't let it affect me," he said. "I have to stay humble and get ready for the next game."
Del Norte will face Belen this week.

During her freshman year in high school, Megan Rodriguez, now 21, wore Converse sneakers of various colors almost every day.
Her signature style of shoes would not change, even when it came to her quinceañera celebration.
Rodriguez had a 15th birthday party that included a glamorous dress, choreographed dance routines and countless friends and family members. Every detail was traditional, except for her choice of shoes.
"Instead of the traditional ballet flat, I figured I'd be different and wear my signature Converse," she said. "Of course, since I wore them every day, they weren't the prettiest."
Those sneakers are part of a series that Cynthia Rodriguez, Megan's mother, created using Swarovski crystals to vamp up and give her daughter's footwear a more glamorous look.
"I had to figure out a way to upscale the Converse," said Rodriguez, 45, of Weston.
The shoes became so popular that Rodriguez started getting requests for them and soon started her business, Crystal4U.
Ashley Reyes, a salsa dancer and a customer, had her shoes and costumes crystalized for her performances.
"For our salsa shoes, we would have her dazzle the heels, so the shoes would reflect nicely off the lights on stage," said Reyes. "It really completed the entire costume. The shoes always stood out."
Reyes said she was impressed with how the shoes changed with the crystals. "They were just plain heels, but they were a whole new shoe with the stones on them," she said.
Rodriguez uses a type of glue that is waterproof as well as stretchable to attach each rhinestone individually, up to 10,000 in some cases.
"It is a tedious job; it's one rhinestone at a time and it takes a few hours," Rodriguez said. "But at the end, it is fun for me. It's also very therapeutic."
The retail cost depends on how long it takes to complete the job and how many rhinestones the customer requests. Rodriguez said the price can range from $50 to $350, but she will work within the customer's budget.
"Lets say you like a design that is out of your price range; we can do something similar using less rhinestones to keep a price that is comfortable," she said.
The products started getting attention when Rodriguez met South Beach drag queen Elaine Lancaster, who was hosting and doing backstage interviews at Miami Fashion Week.
Lancaster said Rodriguez sent her a multicolored blue and clear crystal pair of shoes as a gift shortly after the show.
"I showed [socialite Lea Black] my shoes, and she went crazy with excitement," Lancaster said. She introduced Rodriguez to Black, a cast member on Bravo's The Real Housewives of Miami.
Black asked Rodriguez to create custom hand mirrors as gifts for her co-stars with their initials on them. Pleased with the results, Black asked her to crystalize some handbags for personal use. Soon after, Crystal4U caught the eye of the fashion world.
Rodriguez got the opportunity to work with Beth Sobol, president/CEO of Sobol-Perry Fashion Products and founder of Miami Fashion Week. Sobol was introduced to Crystal4U when Rodriguez registered as an exhibitor during the first Miami Bridal Week show in 2011.
Rodriguez did well there, and Sobol decided to include her products in the Emerging Designer Prelude of the Miami Style Showcase the following March at Miami Fashion Week. Rodriguez was invited for a second time this year to showcase Crystal4U at Miami Fashion Week.
"Cynthia created a very fun and whimsical presentation with her models in short, puffy petticoat skirts showing off a gorgeous collection of custom-decorated shoes for all occasions," Sobol said.
Rodriguez, who has been a make-up artist and hairdresser for more than 20 years, has been invited to fashion weeks elsewhere. And even though she has a busy life at home with three children and a husband, she says she will keep crystalizing.
"I want the best of both worlds," she said. "I am being a little greedy. But I can sit at home, drink some wine, listen to some jazz and work on the shoes at my own pace," said Rodriguez. To request shoes, go to crystal4u.co.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. — Laurel County and the county seat of London should be called the Jerusalem of Kentucky," wrote Rev. Alfred Carrier in his small book "The Flight of the Dove: Roots of Pentecost in Eastern Kentucky." (ca. 1982) "It was here that God saw fit to bring together heaven and earth, men and angels, with the advent of 20th century Pentecost in Kentucky."
Many thanks to Kip Jervis who graciously granted me access to this book when I mentioned that I needed information on the Pentecostal movement in this area.
Rev. Carrier goes on to give a short history of how and when the Pentecostal Church got its start in Kentucky. I've excerpted only the part that deals with Laurel County.
Carrier wrote: "The earliest known records on Pentecost in Laurel County date back to 1907 when two men, Rev. Sam Perry and Rev. Billy Wilder, from Florida, came to London and preached revival in the old opera house." (Carrier gives the location of this opera house as the corner of 7th and Main streets.) "Around 50 to 75 people embraced the new doctrine, or restoration of the first century Pentecostal Church," Carrier continued.
Among the first converts were several prominent members of the London community: Dr. George F. Lucas (a dentist), Judge P. R. Pennington, W. S. Jackson, and Judge W. E. Begley. Begley and his wife, Telitha, became father and mother to many in the Pentecostal Church, Carrier wrote, and remained true to the faith until their deaths.
About 1916 land was donated for a simple frame building and, wrote Carrier, "the gospel went forth with such power that thousands were to be brought under the influence of this new spiritual awakening. . . . the Pentecostal flame ignited in the Old Farris Opera House was fast becoming a raging Inferno."
According to Carrier, the original church in London (Manchester Street Holiness Church) outgrew its space and moved to South London and became "one of the more renowned churches in the state." This refers to London's First Pentecostal Church whose long-time pastor, Rev. Gene Huff, was familiar to most Laurel Countians.
Carrier listed the following surnames of some of the Laurel County families who were drawn to this movement: White, Scott, Blanton, Burke, Blackburn, Belcher, Hughes, Allen, York, Wilson, Martin, Meade, Mooneyham, Disney, Cupp, Harmon, Schell, Dyche, Hoskins, Begley, Doyle, Southerland, Hocker, O'Bannon, Sullivan, Jones, Robinson, Murphy, Williams, and Roberts. "To mention only a few," he said.
Other churches of the Pentecostal faith in Laurel County. mentioned by Carrier, are Old Union Holiness Church; Colony Holiness Church; Lily Holiness Church and Hazel Green Holiness Church. There are many others today, of course.
* * *
The historical society is still seeking interviews with Laurel Countians who are over the age of 80 who would be willing to leave a record of their life in the society's archives. Subjects are only asked to answer a few questions about their childhood and youth and their connection to Laurel County.

The Laurel County Historical Society is located at 310 W. 3rd St., London, (formerly the Laurel County Health Department). The library is open on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 12 noon. For further information, contact 606-864-0607 during library hours, or 606-224-3767 at other times. Email the society at email@example.com or Jan Sparkman at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Martin may get cameos at third base
Catcher effectively becomes third option at hot corner for LA
LOS ANGELES -- Russell Martin may not have seen the last of playing third base this season. It doesn't mean a position change for Gold Glove catcher, but his cameo at third Friday night might not be the last time that the former Minor League infielder finds his way back into the Dodger infield.
"There may be a game when we may give Russell a day off and that day off may be at third base," manager Joe Torre said. "The thing about catching is not only the physical, it's the mental [aspects] if you do your job right. You get mentally worn out behind the plate when you're trying to help that pitcher through the game."
Torre thinks third base might be an ideal spot for Martin to occasionally play when he doesn't catch. Torre wants Martin fresh in August and September and future third base cameos might help facilitate that goal.
Many baseball people say that Martin's bat plays at the corner position with more power than any other third base candidate the Dodgers have played there this year. His arm strength, release, athleticism and infield experience all parlay nicely to third.
Torre, a former catcher himself, said that when he played first base instead of catching, it seemed like a vacation to him. He also played third base later in his career.
"Playing first base [was] like a day off because you're looking around for your responsibility, but it's all about catching the ball and hitting," Torre said. "It was a day off for me when I did that."
And he's kept an eye on Martin's pregame routine.
"He's taken ground balls," Torre said. "If you watch him during batting practice he'll be at shortstop and third base. He'll move all over the place. He can play infield. Plus, he's taken so many balls over there that he'd be comfortable."
Torre said that his first option at third past Blake DeWitt right now -- with Nomar Garciaparra on the disabled list for the second time this season, this time with an injured left calf -- would be rookie Chin-lung Hu.
"The first option would probably be Hu, but again, if I started a game and you say you want to [sit] DeWitt against a tough left-hander or something like that, you may have to," Torre said. "Or if it's a Sunday when [Jeff] Kent's not playing. You may wind up with that offense in there."
Martin entered Sunday's game on his first significant offensive streak of the 2008 season. He had reached base in 20 of his last 29 plate appearances. During that span, Martin is hitting .558 (10-for-18) with nine walks and a sacrifice fly. In his first at-bat on Sunday, he worked a walk out of Colorado left-hander Jeff Francis to extend that streak to reaching base in 21 of his last 30.
"When you're catching, it's not just physical, the mental part of the game is huge," Martin said. "You're always involved. So to get a mental breather by playing third base, for me, I like it. I played third my whole life before I got converted in 2002. That was my main position. I'm comfortable there. I take ground balls at short everyday. You don't lose that defense. It's like riding a bicycle."
