Ray Parent was born in Enosburgh, but if you listen carefully, you wouldn't know it. His first language was French.
His French-Canadian dad insisted it was spoken in the house. Learning English wasn't difficult, but something was. He stuttered.
"It still comes back to get me!" Parent says.
He can chuckle now, but as a boy it wasn't a laughing matter, the other kids picked on him. Tussles happened.
"What ya going to do, you can't fight the whole school," he says.
He found a way to vent his frustrations and improve his speech. Ray started singing country music.
"It's going to be a hot one and I want to be prepared a little bit," he says.
It's a scorcher in Enosburg Falls and Ray and the rest of The Rhythm Ramblers are ready to perform.
He's been loading and unloading band equipment for 60 years.
"It gets a lot harder," he says.
Inside the church hall just a few people are trickling in.
"There's still time for them to come," he comments.
But Ray says the future of country and square dancing is fading away in Franklin County. He says the young people aren't coming. If they did the would get some exercise.
Square dancing gets the ten couples to the floor.
"If they are having a good time, I'm having a good time," Parent says.
And that includes Ray's wife Charlotte. They met at a dance. Both were widowed; she liked his music and had a hankering for him.
"We just fell in love and got married a couple months later," she says.
But life for Ray has also been like the lyrics of a sad country song. His house burnt down in the 60s, had a heart attack and has battled the bottle. Now sober for years, music has been his outlet.
"Sometimes you can sing a song that tells a story and the person has almost lived it," he says.
But people are here to be sad, there here to have fun.
"He is the conductor, he's telling them what to do, they have to listen and he's directing traffic out there," says Joe Smith, a member of the band.
And as long as Ray stays healthy, he will continue to sing and unlike this song, his time on the stage isn't over.

Venom Vision: Trading for offense?
Originally published: Jul 22, 2013 - 12:44 pm
The problem is if GM Kevin Towers were to look for an everyday bat at this point in the year, who would he even try to replace in the lineup?
The left side of the infield (Didi Gregorius and Martin Prado) was just acquired through trades this offseason. The second baseman (Aaron Hill) just signed a three-year extension. The first baseman is an All-Star. The outfield features two Gold Glove-caliber players (A.J. Pollock and Gerardo Parra), a rookie just back from the disabled list (Adam Eaton), a player (Cody Ross) on the first year of a lucrative three-year deal and a guy (Jason Kubel) a year removed from a 30-home run season. Not to mention, the catcher (Miguel Montero) is coming off a career year and just signed a new deal last May.
Truth is, the team committed to the likes of Gregorius, Hill, Montero, Prado and Ross, whether by trade or by extension. Their struggles are well-documented and could hurt the team's chances of winning the division, but can any of them simply be replaced in the middle of a pennant race?
The fan in all of us would love to say sure. But I'm going to say not so fast.
Of the D-backs' needs, I think upgrading the offense will be the one that goes unaddressed by July 31.

Four months after public outcry led Tyndall Air Force Base (TAFB) commanders to withdraw a proposal to restrict access to coastal waterways, the military has come up with a revised plan.
This time, they're out in front of the issue and looking for buy in.
The Tyndall installation has 129 miles of coastline and most of it is unprotected, making the base a potential target for terrorists or criminals. "Anything that would affect our ability to generate air power," is a concern, Maj. Anthony McCarty, commander of the 325th Security Forces Squadron, said.
Last May, Tyndall commanders applied to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for a permanent 500' restricted area along the base's coastline. If approved, it could have closed off popular areas such as Shell Island and Crooked Island Sound to recreational and commercial boaters.
Few people were aware of the proposal until just before the deadline for public comment. When word of the plan became public, opponents launched a social media blitz and asked local, state and federal officials to intervene. TAFB officials later withdrew the application and said the language in the document was more restrictive than intended.
"There was a little convoluted portion of the proposal that misled people into believing that we were going to close Shell Island and Crooked Island and other areas of the waterways that not only the community uses but the people that live and reside on Tyndall Air Force Base use," Maj. McCarty said. "That was never the intention."
The revised plan would grant the base commander authority to impose a temporary closure if there is a specific, direct threat to the base, its resources or personnel. "Even when we would implement a restricted area it would be very temporary in nature and only the amount of area that would be required in order to mitigate a specific threat," Maj. McCarty said.
Bay County Commissioner George Gainer isn't comfortable with the new proposal. "In a heightened security risk, there's nobody here that wouldn't say 'do whatever it takes to make the base safe and make the people of Bay County safe,'" Gainer said. "But at this point, that's very vague."
Gainer said he wants the plan to be well-defined and clearly outline what constitutes a security threat. "We have every confidence that Tyndall would use great discretion in closing these areas but we need to know under what conditions and how long," Gainer said. "We just really wonder if it's necessary to reach this far."
In neighboring Mexico Beach, charter boat captain Tom Adams is concerned that even a temporary closure would be bad for business. "I just hope that it never comes to that," Adams said. "It would really hurt our fishing and probably a lot less people would come to vacation so there would be less people to take fishing... it would hurt all the businesses here."
Maj. McCarty didn't address specific scenarios, but said affected boaters will be able to seek exemptions if waters are closed. "Any boater that would need access to those areas… could request access through the wing commander and it would be considered on a case by case basis," McCarty said.
Gainer said he's glad TAFB officials are seeking input. "I feel like we can work this out together so that everybody will understand," Gainer said. "Communication is the key and if we understand, then I think this thing will go down a whole lot smoother."
Maj. McCarty said TAFB officials will hold public town hall meetings after receiving initial input from elected officials and civic leaders. Obtaining final approval from the Corps of Engineers could take about a year.

It seems that Jets fans always wax nostalgic to bring back former Jets players whenever there is an injury. The most recent manifestation of this is the ground swell of support to bring back players like Braylon Edwards and Joe McKnight.
It made me wonder why Jets players from the Tannebaum era seem not to get picked up by other teams. In the last eighteen months the following non-scrub players have been released, but are still looking for jobs:
- Braylon Edwards
- Aaron Maybin
- Robert Malone
- Joe McKnight
- Brodney Pool
- Sione Pouha
- Eric Smith
- Jason Smith
- Tim Tebow
- Bryan Thomas
Just wonder whether this is an indictment of Tannebaum's talent evaluation.

LITTLE Miss Dynamite Nicole Donoghue has her sights set on blowing away the opposition for quite a few years to come.
Karate exponent Nicole flew the flag high for St Helens when she won gold as part of the four strong England Juniors Kumite team that came first in the European Championships in Porto, Portugal.
She's made an impressive climb up the ladder of success since she started as a nine year-old at St Helens Karate based at Sutton Leisure Centre.
This autumn the Team England member from New Bold won gold and bronze medals at the World Shotokan Karate Championships when she produced an impressive performance to win eight of her 11 fights at Liverpool.
Just weeks after her 18th birthday Nicole was hauling in the medals again as part of the England Juniors team of 18-20 year-olds.
Speaking to the Star this week Nicole revealed her appetite for life, her strong work ethic and her ambitions which started off when a friend decided to take up the sport.
"I was nine and a friend said she wanted to go to the club so I went along with her but a couple of weeks later she left. My mum said I was at it and told me to stick at it and I did," said Nicole who now teaches her mum who is ready for green belt grading.
"I never had a temporary grade I went from white straight to red and got my black belt at 13 and my second Dan at 16."
One of her biggest supporters is her grandad, retired haulier Edwin Garton, who can feel justifiably proud of Nicole's progress.
The former Sutton High pupil is studying sports science at St Helens College but crams an awful lot into her average week.
She trains on Tuesdays and Thursdays at St Helens Karate but before she starts she puts her own team of Little Tigers through their paces, all aged between four and eight.
"They are very good, we've definitely got some future stars," she said enthusiastically.
Away from training and studying she works as an Avon distributor and also is involved in hospitality work at Saints and assists the St Helens Star's promotions team.
Saints fan Nicole gets to run the rule over the lads from Langtree Park since she started on a sports massage course which involves doing massage on the players at their Cowley training facility.
"I'd eventually like to do nutrition, personal training and fitness instruction and perhaps have my own club," said the ambitious teenager.
"I'm really grateful for the work my sensei St Helens fireman Ian Roberts has put in with me since I took up the sport. He's been great. He's old school, but it works and patience has paid off."
Her favourite dish, mum's home made celery soup obviously hasn't done any harm either nor the taste for rock and country music she has inherited from her grandad. Keep rockin' 'em Nicole!

Fire destroyed several RV's and trailers that were being housed in a metal storage building in Fayette County Thursday morning.
According to the Fayette County Sherriff's Office, the department received a call just before 6 a.m. advising officials of an RV on fire off the Highway near St. Hwy 159.
When the La Grange Fire Department arrived they discovered that several RVs were fully engulfed.
Other fire departments were called in to assist.
The fire damaged the metal building which was housing the RV's and trailers, but no injuries were reported.

Well, it isn't really that I don't get why others do, but I do not particularly care for Dolph Zigger.
There, I said it, I'm sure to get plenty of grief for it! That's not to say he sucks- he doesn't. As a wrestler, he doesn't have any massive deficiencies that are apparent, that detract from his matches. He possesses a decent enough ring repertoire, and unlike John Cena or CM Punk (and others, I am sure) he isn't repetitive- I've noticed being fairly choreographed in not the moves that they use, but in the order that they do them in, to the point of being able to call what move is next in the string of combos. People like to say that he's the best seller the WWE has on their roster today. I personally like Evan Bourne better, but I'm not going to disagree that he makes other guys look good. On the microphone, I don't think that he is as great as some other people seem to say he is, but I think he certainly can hold his own. But, outside of these things I don't think Dolph Ziggler is anything particularly special. Many at Cageside Seats, obviously, feel different.
Maybe it starts with his name. 'Dolph Ziggler'. There is something about the name that I never liked, long before Ziggler began feuding with Zack Ryder, long before receiving his current push. Maybe it's the overtly German overtones that I associate with 'Dolph', and his lack of being an overtly German-stereotype. Maybe it is, as Asterisk has asserted, the fact that his name is a rip off of Boogie Nights protagonist Dirk Diggler, and his relationship with Vicky Guerrero shades of Dirk Diggler's relationship with Rollergirl. For whatever reason, though, when I hear the name 'Dolph Ziggler', and see Nick Nemeth, I have some sort of cognitive disconnect.
Maybe it's his look. The bleach blonde curly hair with noticeable roots at times aggravates me irrationally. His former look/logo- "I am Perfection" written in a blue and white in a font meant to look like a retro neon light sign- looked like it belonged in Tron. His new look/logo- "#Heel", written sideways in a simple white font- further intertwines Twitter into WWE broadcasts. While I'm not necessarily opposed to that- Zack Ryder got where he is today with his skillful use of Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube- the constant pop-up ads and mentions by Michael Cole on RAW informing us that so-and-so is trending on Twitter is distracting and annoying. His "#Heel" doesn't say much about him, either; it's not very imaginative, though simple and succinct. Is he a heel? Sure. So is half of the WWE roster. CM Punk is the "Best in the World". The Big Show is a "WMD". The Undertaker is "The Deadman". Kane is the "Big Red Machine". "#Heel" is dull, in terms of catchy phrases and logos. And, I won't even go into the zebra-print tights he's been wearing in matches as of late...Suffice to say, I don't like them.
Maybe it's his gimmick(s)- and I won't even bring up his being Nicky from the Spirit Squad, because it's not relevant to 'Dolph Ziggler'. Until recently, Dolph was 'The Natural', who, as reflected in his entrance music and merchandise, was "perfection". Now he is 'The Showoff', who, well, shows off. Neither does anything for me. As 'The Natural', Ziggler was perfection. While not exactly shades of Mr. Perfect or anything, considering himself perfection did not make me connect for his character, dislike his character, or evoke any kind of emotional response. He considered himself good- him, and every other guy on the WWE roster considers themselves good. His future was so damn bright, he had to wear shades? What guy is going to say that he doesn't see himself as skilled enough to be meaningful? Now, as 'The Showoff', Ziggler shows off during matches. He does sit-ups while his opponent is on the ground groggy and slow to get up. He does handstands while holding his opponent on a headlock on the ground. It does a little more for me in evoking a reaction to him, but in my case, it's not all that much, nor does it make me like him any more or less. I see him do a handstand and I say to myself, "OK, he can do a handstand". I see him do sit-ups and I say to myself, "OK, he can do sit-ups". Physically, it's almost a shrug with either slight annoyance or slight amusement, based on what he is doing and when.
Maybe it's because of the pushes he has received, and the reactions that he's gotten from the crowds. Looking only at his RAW tenure in the past year or so, until Zack Ryder began gunning for the US Championship, Dolph Ziggler didn't feel particularly relevant (which is a shame, given that he was a title holder). On June 9th, at the Capital Punishment PPV, he defeated Kofi Kingston for the US Title. It wouldn't be until September 18th at Night of Champions that he defended his title, in a four-way match against Alex Riley, Jack Swagger, and John Morrison. So, for over three months, he held the title, but engaged in no title defenses. The night after Night of Champions, his feud with Ryder took full stage, and seemed to give Ziggler purpose. That three-month program or so had Ziggler best Ryder in their first two title matches, but with trickery and cheating. While it certainly helped Ryder and the chip on his shoulder that got him where he is now, it didn't make Ziggler look particularly convincing as a champion. His current feud with CM Punk, much of the same is happening. He's bested Punk on three consecutive occasions now, but none of them make Ziggler look any better, given that all three were a result of meddling by the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and the Interim RAW General Manager John Laurenitis. While Ziggler is being elevated from midcard to main event, and is taking on Punk for the WWE Championship, his being a puppet in the conflict between the other two does not make him look better, as an actual threat. All of that shows, I think, in the reactions that he gets from the crowd.
When he and Vicky come out, they get booed. Who is the ire of the audience focused on primarily? The #Heel, or Vicky Guererro? The #Heel, or John Laurenitis? You would figure that the intensity of cheers that CM Punk, or Zack Ryder receives would be inverted, and would resemble the intensity of boos their opponent, Ziggler, would received. That hasn't been the case with Ziggler, as far as I have noticed. People boo him, sure, by virtue of being the bad guy in the relationship, but it doesn't seem to be any deeper than that. They boo Vicky with a passion, because she's Vicky. They boo John Laurenitis with a passion, because he's John Laurenitis. They boo Ziggler half-heartedly, and only because they're supposed to, because he's the guy in the way of the guy the overall audience wants to win. If they're just booing (or cheering, for that matter) you out of necessity like that, I think something is wrong. As a kid, I booed Ted Dibiosi because he was an evil son of a bitch. I booed Hollywood Hulk Hogan because he betrayed everyone. I booed Vince McMahon because he was a power hungry corporate suit. I don't think anyone boos Dolph Ziggler because of who he is, but rather, because of who he is facing.
Might I someday warm up to Ziggler more? Of course. All it takes is a good story and a few matches with memorable moments. Is he better than a lot of other guys the WWE has on their roster? Sure. As the combination of things stand right now, Ziggler does little for me. It's an unpopular opinion, but it is what it is.

. . . or, when you care enough to send your very best!
When we approached our first wedding anniversary, lo those many years ago, we made a pact to not do gifts. With the exception of those milestone years, and we have had a few, we have kept to this agreement. We have taken a few anniversary weekend trips, and marked a few with a piece of furniture or a tree, but, mostly, a card to open and a nice dinner out are enough to fill our hearts.
Today is our anniversary. I am happy to say that we have had 37 years.
Wherever did the time go and how blessed we are to have had them.
This morning, we shared our cards,
and, as we each opened our envelope, we started to chuckle.
Happy Anniversary, Tom!

Injection Mold Maintenance
Preventative mold maintenance can greatly extend the working life of an injection mold. At Crescent we have a documented injection mold maintenance schedule, so we know exactly when to perform cleanings and inspections after the mold has run a certain amount of cycles. This schedule is determined by SPI mold classifications, the environment on the mold and what type of material is being used for the end product.
Maintenance consists of inspecting hot runners and water lines as well as lubricating, cleaning and tightening of all mold components. Besides a mold maintenance schedule, Crescent keeps a database of all injection mold maintenance performed so it can be quickly referenced when necessary.
Injection Mold Revisions
Sometimes plastic components require a mold revision to improve the performance or enhance the appearance of the part, Crescent provides quick tool modifications and product sampling for approval.

HongQiao Market
HongQiao Market – also known as HongQiao Pearl market is located in the Southeast part of Beijing near the TianTan – Temple of Heaven; It is accessible by subway and city buses and of course via taxi (if you can find one!). Here is the location of the market in Chinese characters so you can print this page and provide to the cab driver from your hotel:
The actual address and location is No. 46, Tiantan Dong Lu, Chongwen District; just opposite Tiantan Park, and to the east of the Temple of Heaven (you can see the Chinese characters for the street name above on the map); If you are coming with a subway – please take subway line #5 to Tiantan Dongmen Station and once you get off the train car, look for exit A, and you will see the Pearl Market ahead on your right and will need to across the street (see photo above for a visual orientation).
The market is actually pretty big and houses a very large number of vendors which have changed their wares and focus over the years. As of late the market management is attempting to revamp the venue to a new look and feel and is forcing many of the traditioanal vendors to move quarters to the basement floors of the building.
|Link to an earlier article I posted;
Of course the market is also a hustling and bustling place where you can easily spend a week exploring the different vendors and negotiating merchandise. Many folks consider these markets as outlets where one can look for fake brand name goods — those days are pretty much gone — i.e. I do not think this is the main business of the vendors here. In reality they are turning more and more to really interesting art work, jewelry, and in some cases you can find the actual artisans that make the pieces right there in the market stalls. So for those of you who have (a) the time and (b) the language skills to explore — you can actually find some very interesting conversations, art pieces and of course good friends for a long time to come….(believe me I speak from experience )
Otherwise for pieces of art and stylish traditional Chinese jewelry pieces (among other things) you can jump to the Web store for Chinafinds.com;

First of all let me introduce you to this Guy.
Greeting young fellow. Let me welcome you to the Sacramento Kings. We are really glad to have u here. You will love it... when u follow some rules.
His name is Jimmer. He is little bit shy so dont wonder it you dont see him the first one or two years. With him its like with animals: They are more afraid of you then you are of them. So dont be scared if he pops out of a box sometimes.
Jimmer is our mascot, THE offseason topic on every board on the Internet and our starting small forward next season. You will like him. Our expectation: Throw balls at him as hard as u can. He likes to catch.
Then i will introduce you to the next guy.
His name is Boogie. And we love him the most of the time. Our expectation here: Anytime on the court when Boogie looks like this:
You have immediately to grab this:
and walk to the sideline and punch one of this guys as hard as u can:

As a nation of immigrants, the American experience is vibrantly defined by the diverse racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious heritage of its people. Perhaps because so many of their ancestors migrated to this country relatively recently, Americans are especially concerned with their family trees, carving out personal histories by combing through documents such as wills and estate records, federal and state censuses, and private family papers, and mining the stories and tales handed down to them by their forebears.
Since 2007, the Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr., has been helping African Americans find long-buried details about their ancestors by researching their family trees and then, when the paper trail ends, by analyzing their DNA and marrying that information to a wealth of historical data. Now, in Faces of America Gates explores the family trees of twelve of America's most recognizable and extraordinary citizens, individuals who learn that they are of Asian, English, French, German, Irish, Italian, Jamaican, Jewish, Latino, Native American, Swiss, and Syrian ancestry: Inaugural poet Elizabeth Alexander, chef Mario Batali, comedian and television personality Stephen Colbert, writer Louise Erdrich, writer Malcolm Gladwell, actress Eva Longoria, cellist Yo Yo Ma, writer and director Mike Nichols, former monarch of Jordan Queen Noor, surgeon and author Dr. Mehmet Oz, actress Meryl Streep, and Olympic gold medalist and figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi.
In addition, each of the subjects in Faces of America underwent dense genotyping to trace their genetic ancestry on their father's line, their mother's line, and their percentages of European, Asian, Native American, and African ancestry. Faces of America unfolds as a riveting journey into our country's complex ancestral past. Readers will share in the surprise and delight, the shock and sadness of these twelve individuals themselves as Gates unveils their rich family stories, traced back to their arrival on America's shores, and beyond, deep into the history of their ancestors' countries of origin. America, as Gates shows us, is a nation of many historical threads, interwoven and united in the present moment. In this compelling book, Gates demonstrates that where we come from profoundly and fundamentally informs who we are today.
Henry Louis Gates, Jr., is the director of the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research and holder of the distinguished title of Alphonse Fletcher University Professor at Harvard University. He is the author of twelve books, including several award-winning works of literary criticism as well as the memoir Colored People; The Future of the Race, co-authored with Cornel West; Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Black Man; and Tradition and the Black Atlantic. Gates has hosted ten PBS television specials, including Looking for Lincoln and the two part series, African American Lives, upon which his book In Search of Our Roots (2009) was based. He is winner of the 2009 Ralph Lowell Award for Outstanding Contributions to Public Television and the 2010 NAACP Image Award for Non-Fiction.
"In Faces of America, Henry Louis Gates Jr. has found a middle path: He applies the most rigorous genealogical and genetic tools to the family histories of 12 ethnically distinct Americans, and in doing so touches on the history of not only these individuals but on the human race itself...Gates's breezy, intimate style and obvious affection for his subjects results in a book that is the bionic version of that old fourth-grade family tree assignment, thanks to the support of a world-class Rolodex and Harvard researchers and geneticists. It's fun."
"There are surprises—[Gates] finds a common ancestor between Queen Noor of Jordan and African-American academic Elizabeth Alexander; both are 37th great-granddaughters of Charlemagne—and in getting such subjects as Mike Nichols to open up about their pasts, he finds how powerfully the past informs the present. Gates offers a book stuffed with epiphanies that will spark curiosity among readers about their own ancestry as well as their possible connections to each other."
"The complex immigrant story of the United States viewed through extensive genetic and genealogical research into the backgrounds of 12 ethnically diverse, famous Americans.... [I]t is the broader sweep of history and the causes and ramifications of human migrations that engage the reader and give the book its impact."
"Faces of America adds compelling evidence that the American story of race is a far more complicated affair than the conventional wisdom of the past would have us believe. Science, history, and genealogy come together in this accessible, intelligent, and elegant presentation. This is a must read for all who are interested in reconstructing the story of the American people."
"Henry Louis Gates, Jr., takes us on a spellbinding journey into the lives of some of America's favorite celebrities by excavating historical archives and using the latest advances in genealogy and genetics. A rich tapestry of the nation's people, Gates's Faces of America uncovers the common thread that holds us together while highlighting the differences that make us unique from each other and from one generation to the next."

I'm not sure who added the Cabin to BA, but it is not a beer bar. The Cabin is fun and friendly local dive bar. Karaoke 1-2 nights a week, a couple TVs that are as likely to be showing reality shows as sports, a pool table, pull tabs and a classic rock juke box are main attractions for the regulars.
The beer list on a recent visit was: Full Sail Keelhauler Scotch Ale, Mac & Jacks African Amber, Killians Irish Red, Alaskan White Ale, Alaskan Winter Ale, Miller Lite, Bud Light, Bud, Peeber and Ranier.
This bar is a perfect example of the NW beer culture that a lot of places are lacking. Even one of the diviest, least beer oriented bars in the county has at least a couple of beers that us beer geeks can drink.
If you're visiting the 'Ham you can do better than the Cabin without even trying.

Something Beautiful
by Sharon Dennis Wyeth
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This picture book is very moving and inspirational for children between the ages of 5-7. It presents the ability of human beings to find something beautiful even in less ideal circumstances. This book will help children understand how to overcome adversity in order to reach a certain level of happiness. This is a nonfiction story.
I think this is a very powerful story. "Something Beautiful" is a realistic fiction picture book for readers in the 1st-3rd grade. I really liked this story because of the powerful message behind it, the beautiful illustrations, and the story line that could be relatable to so many students. This story depicts a girl living in a poor neighborhood, where crime and poverty are present. For example, outside her window is broken glass and her front door is spray painted with the word, "die". She sees a homeless lady that lives on her street, and dangerous dark streets she tries to avoid. I have not seen many books that accurately depict some of the neighborhoods some of the students in a classroom might live in and the danger they sometimes are exposed to. Especially when teaching in Baltimore where there is a high amount of poverty, there is definitely a chance where the students may very well relate to this character's living situation. It is not happy or pleasant, but it is some people's reality. What I loved about this book is that it does talk about the bad, but it also has a great central message of finding the good in the bad, or the beautiful in the ugly. The beautiful painted illustrations, the urban perspective, and the positive central message, I think this is a great read for young readers.
She lives in the projects and with her mom and all she sees is graffiti on the walls with bad things written. At school she learns that things can be beautiful no matter what. But when she gets home she sees the outside of her house and she says one day when she is older she will be able to live somewhere else and have a beautiful garden outside of her door. She asks her mom "do you have something beautiful?" and her mom replies, "yes I have you"....
A young girl wants to see beyond all the scary sights of the sidewalks and scribling is the halls of her school. One day her teacher rights on the board the word "beautiful." From here on out the girl challenges herself to see all the beautiful in her neighboor hood and school. Everything she sees, she finds the beauty in. This book portrays such a wonderful lesson; if you look for beauty you can find it, it is everywhere. The little girl says in the books "something that when you have it, your heart is happy" ; I could agree more with the quote.
This girl searches for something beautiful in her world. She decides she can make the beauty all the while she is the beauty in her world.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0440412102, Paperback)A little girl longs to see beyond the scary sights on the sidewalk and the angry scribbling in the halls of her building. When her teacher writes the word beautiful on the blackboard, the girl decides to look for something beautiful in her neighborhood. Her neighbors tell her about their own beautiful things. Miss Delphine serves her a "beautiful" fried fish sandwich at her diner. At Mr. Lee's "beautiful" fruit store, he offers her an apple. Old Mr. Sims invites her to touch a smooth stone he always carries. Beautiful means "something that when you have it, your heart is happy," the girl thinks. Her search for "something beautiful" leaves her feeling much happier. She has experienced the beauty of friendship and the power of hope.

Well, I guess the adult industry is being chased out of California, the once cool state. I can't see any other goal in this.
Anthony Kennerson, who will probably be posting something very soon, commented,
"… Weinstein and AHF are now cashing in their political chips and getting the LA City Council involved directly.
Four councilmen have now said they would introduce a resolution to force the local board that grants licenses to adult films to deny a license to any porn studio that doesn't impose a strict condom mandate and other safety "reforms" (including gloves and dental dams).
It doesn't say whether or not the mandate would be limited to straight porn or would affect gay porn as well.
I'll find the link to the AVN article and post it ASAP."
I found the AVN article, and the first paragraph reads:
"An investigation by AVN has found that the author of a City Council motion to require adult companies to use condoms, dental dams and face shields/goggles during sex scenes or be denied a City of Los Angeles filming permit has received campaign donations from AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) president Michael Weinstein, as has one of the motion's co-sponsors."
What does this mean? A lot probably, but I can't get past the 'goggles and dental dams' part… Wow! That's so adult… and fun!! Condoms are one thing, but dental dams? And Shelley Lubben has a hip hop song talking about… herself… again… and orgasms her way through a fun Christmas plug of her book… (click the picture for the YouTube video… if you dare! Sorry but she's a train wreck and it's impossible not to look. lol)
Utah funded a proposition that banned gay marriage in… California. Am I missing anything else that are extremely gross and anti-reasons-for-living-in-California? I can't even put it into words. Patton Oswalt can, though–(Press play for Alternate Earth)

Media comment: Media suicide
07/18/2012 23:40
Silman is described by many as being successful businessman for a time, who became bankrupt due to cruelty of bureaucrats.
Moshe Silman, who set hemself afire in Tel Aviv.
Photo: Asaf Kliger
Every story has two sides and when one delves deeper, it appears that a State Comptroller's Office document does not justify Silman's claims against the National Insurance Institute. But whatever his mistakes may have been, and there seem to have been many, this was a man in anguish who with forethought decided upon a radical step – to immolate himself in public in an apparent attempt to commit suicide. It appears he understood that such an act would provide ample ammunition for his friends who were attempting to demonstrate for social justice, and indeed this was the case. His self-destructive and thus immoral act was political.
The letter he wrote prior to his suicide attempt left no doubt as to his motivation.
He pointed a finger specifically at the prime minister and the finance minister, hurling at them the Hebrew epithet "nevelot" – despicable scoundrels.
In the days following his act, the papers and broadcast media had a ball, all on account of Mr. Silman. Instead of discussing the weather and the expected electricity stoppages, they had a real issue on their hands. The headlines were huge. "The tragedy" blared Israel HaYom. The Ma'ariv webpage had a special "Moshe Silman" entry, which guided the user directly to all of the latest "hot stories" about the man and his issues. Kol Yisrael's Reshet Bet anchor Arieh Golan used Silman's tragedy to pitch in his two cents of criticism on Israeli society.
Rabbis for Human Rights activist Rabbi Idit Lev became a media star, recounting Silman's tragic affairs and how she tried in vain to help him over the past few years.
The media also made sure everyone knew that in the ensuing, rather small demonstrations, one of the chants was "We are all Moshe Silman." One of the harshest criticisms of the Left – and the media – against nationalist camp protests during the intifada was that "settlers are dancing on spilled blood," by which they meant that the terror victims' deaths were being cynically exploited to further political aims. And now? They have been dancing on Silman's blood with tragic consequences.
Four additional people have already attempted to emulate him. We needed a courageous politician – who also worked as a journalist in the past – opposition leader Shelly Yechimovich, to remind us all that "suicide is an extreme and terrible act and should not serve as an example and inspiration to young people and adults alike, and must not be regarded as the symbol of social protest." In fact, the journalists' ethics code instructs us that care and sensitivity are needed when reporting on a suicide and that one should not publicize the method used.
The media is not always so diligent in reporting on politically motivated suicide.
On Sunday, Israel HaYom said Silman's case was "an unprecedented act." However, the paper's own reporter, Emily Amrousi, took pains the next day to remind us that this was certainly not unprecedented in Israel. Yelena Bosinova, for one, also committed suicide for political reasons. She thought that this was the appropriate expression of her deep dissatisfaction with the uprooting of the Jewish presence in the Gaza strip and the northern Shomron during the disengagement of 2005. Amrousi noted that Bosinova's act had no impact whatsoever, yet at the same time, Silman was already being compared in the press with Mohamed Bouazizi, who ignited the Arab Spring by setting himself alight in Tunisia. Yet even Amrousi seems to have forgotten that another person, Baruch Ben- Menachem, committed the same suicidal act a short time after the expulsion from Gaza –also to no avail and without serious media attention. It is then not surprising that Natan Zehavi of FM 103 radio did not even know about these two suicides.
Why the difference in relating to the two sets of suicidal acts? Why is Silman's suicide considered by many in the media as heroic while that of Bosinova and Ben-Menachem are nonexistent? The Israel Broadcasting Authority's Oren Nahari, who did note on Channel 1 that the Gush Katif suicide by fire drew far less attention from the media, suggested that the reason was the political purpose of the act. But is he right? Is it only due to the identification of the media with Silman's cause and their well-documented antipathy to settlers and their supporters that underlies the different coverage? The media is not the sole actor in the public opinion square. One can assume that the many organizations who have gotten behind the demonstrators, such as Rabbis for Human Rights and others supported by the New Israel Fund, were active in providing the journalists with lead stories, background color and so on. Although they too paid lip service to the Jewish ethics that abhor suicide, it would seem they did make good use of the case to further their cause.
This was not the situation with Bosinova and Ben-Menachem. The religious Zionist community has been taught that the end does not justify the means. Its moral makeup forbids it to use the tragedy of others to further its own causes, no matter how just that cause may be. There were no settler organizations or other right-wing organizations that attempted to use these tragic acts to further their cause.
At the end of the day, suicide is suicide is suicide. Too many within the media aided and abetted Silman, albeit after the act.
They are responsible for the fact that others are trying to follow in his footsteps. But the media's gurus, such as former Supreme Court justice Dalia Dorner, who presides over the Israeli Press Council, did not take the moral high road. Dorner did not call for an urgent meeting of her council to discuss the media ethics in this case and provide moral and ethical guidelines to prevent such coverage in the future. As we have stressed in this column time and again, accountability is a foreign word when it comes to the media.

Ban Ki-moon: Assad's future up to Syrian people to determine
Newscast Media GENEVA—While the Geneva II conference commenced on Wednesday
to resolve the Syrian crisis, CCTV reporter Liu Xin was at Ban Ki-moon's press
conference in Montreux, where she asked the UN chief about the Syrian opposition's
demand that President Bashar Assad leave office. Ban said Assad's status should be
determined by the Syrian people.
"As the Secretary General of the United Nations, I have been stating that the status
or future of President Assad, that is an issue which needs to be determined by the
Syrian people. Therefore, that is something which will have to be discussed between
the two parties…" Secretary General Ban said.

Date for Geneva-Syria talks set for January 22, 2014 by UN
Newscast Media GENEVA—The United Nations set January 22 as the date for holding
the international conference on Syria referred to as "Geneva 2."
Martin Nesirky, the Spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, said that
Ban "expects Syrian representatives to come to Geneva with a serious intent to end
the war."
Nesirky quoted Ban as saying that the conference inspires hope, and that the conflict
in Syria has been going on for a long time, therefore it would be unforgivable to waste
this opportunity to put an end to the suffering and destruction the conflict has
According to Nesirky, Ban said that violence in Syria claimed tens of thousands of
lives and displaced millions, in addition to causing turmoil in the region.
He also relayed Ban's deep gratitude to the Russian and US governments, other
countries and UN Envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, for their work to reach this point.
On a relevant note, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov confirmed in a statement
from Rome that the conference will be held on January 22nd, regretting that it
couldn't be held sooner, holding the Syrian opposition responsible for the delay.
Lavrov said the conference was delayed because the opposition made preconditions
and demanded the departure of the Syrian leadership, describing the opposition as
"politically selfish."

Bahrain government asked to respect human rights by UN chief
Newscast Media NEW YORK—UN chief Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday called on Bahrain to respect the human rights of its people and expressed concern about a jailed activist, who led an uprising in the Persian Gulf state last year and has been on a hunger strike for the past 10 weeks.
Activists are pressing for democratic reforms in a country dominated by the ruling Al Khalifa family. Activists protested during the Formula One Grand Prix last week to try and embarrass the rulers while the global focus was on the kingdom for the race.
Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, one of 14 men in prison for leading an uprising last year, has said he will fast to his death if he is not freed and plans to reduce his food intake to just water. He is serving a life sentence for expressing support last year for Bahrain becoming a republic and has been fasting for 76 days.
UN Secretary-General Ban's office said in a statement that he is "concerned" by al-Khawaja's situation.
"The Secretary-General once again urges the Bahraini authorities to resolve Mr. Al-Khawaja's case based on due process and humanitarian considerations without any further delay," the statement said.
Khawaja, who helped found the Bahrain Center for Human Rights, is also well known in the international rights arena. He has worked with Front Line Defenders and Amnesty International, conducting research in Iraq in 2003.
"The Secretary-General remains concerned about the situation in Bahrain, particularly with regard to the continuing clashes between security forces and protesters which have resulted in more casualties," Ban's office said. He appealed for all sides to show utmost restraint and to immediately end the violence.
"The Secretary-General also calls on the Bahraini authorities to fully respect the fundamental human rights of the Bahraini people, including due process concerning all detainees," it said.
Bahrain, an American ally that hosts the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, has been in turmoil since the protests began early last year. Though martial law and Saudi troops were brought in to crush them after one month, the strife has continued with regular mass marches by opposition parties and violent clashes with police.
Foreign governments, rights groups and media watchdogs have criticized Bahrain for its handling of the protests and the slow pace of reforms. http://www.newscastmedia.com/bahrain.htm

This is the seventh in a twelve part series on the mythical origin of each Pac-12 school . . . up next: the Washington Husky. (Part 1: USC, Part 2: ASU/UA, Part 3: UCLA, Part 4: Wazzu, Part 5: furd, Part 6: Utah)
Long ago, the gods gave the great gift of the Golden Bear and the University of California to the people of world knowing that the Californian would uplift the masses and spread light over all the land. Shortly after the creation of this great institution and noble being, the gods decided to start celebrating their great success in California. Unfortunately, those in the heavens had a few too many inebriating beverages and in their drunken haze, the gods mistakenly placedanother university on the Pacific coast many miles north of the Golden Bear. Thus the University of Washington and the Washington Husky was born. Because he was created by the gods in a drunken mistake, the Husky could never even dream of gaining the stature and prestige of the Golden Bear and it led to many to describe Washington as nothing more than a university of the world, while California was known as the greatest university in the world.
The creation of the Washington Husky
The Husky was incredibly jealous of the sturdy Golden Bear and tried everything to bring himself up to the level of the Californian, but nothing would work. Even after years of failure and mediocrity on every level, the Washingtonian simply would not and still cannot admit that he just will never be able to reach the level of enlightenment that the Golden Bear possesses. The Husky would often claim that he was an equal to the powerful Golden Bear, but no moderately intelligent person would believe that to be true. Because of this, the Husky and all of his Washingtonian followers grew ever more jealous of the Golden Bear and also bitter that they could never reach that level of excellence. As a matter of fact, when other beings deny the Washingtonian claims of intellectual excellence, the Husky simply calls his detractorshatters and walks away. This led to the creation of the official motto of the University of Washington: hatters gonna hat.
On all fields of battle, the Husky is mediocre at best and when looking back, it seems that he has always been that way despite the tiresome arrogance of the Washingtonian followers. In the many years that the Husky has been in existence, he has only won 6 national crowns (look it up) and has not accomplished anything of any real significance save a few good years on the gridded battlefield around two decades ago. After almost a century of mediocrity, the Husky finally seemed to be gaining some momentum on the field of battle: he was often in the running for the tournament of roses and even for national crowns. This time also saw a resurgence in the power of the Golden Bear on the gridiron, but for whatever reason, the Golden Bear just could not get past the Husky in spite of the Washingtonian's dimwitted nature. After a decade or so of dominance and only one national crown, the Husky began to fall back into mediocrity and even, at times, incompetence on the field. Just a few short years ago, the Husky went unvictorious on the field of battle and despite the clear return to ineptitude, Husky followers still harkened back to their short time as a power and claim that they remain a power because of it. Even though most Washingtonians continued to have their heads up their posteriors (and to this day, still do), the Husky recognized that change was needed in order to at least return to mediocrity, let alone greatness. Washington's year of going without a victory truly illustrated how putrid the Husky really had become. In order to do this, the Husky recruited a follower of the wickedly cunning Trojan and the great sorcerer Carroll. Because of his connection to the trojan, this new fiendish leader in Washington is simply known as the Sark.
This is obviously not a cartoon, but I felt that it was necessary to include this graphic.
The Sark did not bring immediate greatness like most Washingtonians foolishly believed, but he was able to raise the Husky and the Husky's warriors out of the rank hole that had been dug for them, and into a more shallow hole known as mediocrity. The Sark did not, and will not ever return the Husky to the glory that it had experienced two decades ago, but because of his evil energy, he will be able to keep Washington from teetering back down into the hole of ineptitude and back to years of being unvictorious. The Sark does, however, seem to have a great deal of undeserving success over the Golden Bear and many speculate that it is because of his unholy connection to the Trojan and the great sorcerer Carroll. He has been able to to defeat the loyal Californian warriors on every occasion that he has had the opportunity and all of the Californian defeats seem to come in a most horrible and gruesome manner, possibly reflecting the Sark's true disturbing self.
Worried that the Golden Bear was beginning to gain power to knock off the evil Washingtonians, the Sark did the unthinkable: he corrupted one of California's strongest knights (and another, less powerful grunt known as Kiesau) with promises of great wealth, power, and even a maritime vessel. This young, treacherous knight fled California and unfortunately for all Californians, took some future Golden Bear warriors with him. In Californian circles, this traitor's name is one that is not to be spoken out loud and when his treachery is brought up, it is met with immediate revulsion. Once the traitors arrived and were in the company of the Sark, they decided to celebrate in a way that only such diabolical creatures could: they went out and began bludgeoning helpless infant seals.
The Sark and the traitor celebrating
Stunned by the events, loyal Californians began to eat a new kind of comfort food that combined a hamburger and a taco to create what is known as a jumbaco. This new food has allowed the Golden Bear and his followers to build up the strength to fight the disgusting Husky and the traitors in battle tomorrow on the hallowed grounds of Strawberry Canyon. Even though California has had a rough few months, good must prevail over the evil and treachery that the Husky represents, and all Californians are now demanding that the Golden Bear and his warriors to fight, fight, FIGHT 'EM California!

I didn't put Hump in this category since I think he'll be looking for every penny he can after dropping $2.5m on a ring. If that's 2 months salary, we're in trouble. However he can still be retained fairly easily since we can go over the cap to sign him as long as we work around his $6.4m roster hold.
However... perhaps there are some players that would want to come back to NJ, D.Will or Proky to be part of something special entering Brooklyn.
AK - He has ties to Deron, ties to Proky and seems to be on his way out of Utah as they rebuild. The logic has been in place for a while, but the price has to be right. I say offer him 4 years (4th year a team option) for $24m, or an average of $6m a year, starting at $5m in the 1st year and going up for 1/2 million increments.
K.Mart - He was are heart and soul and loves his time here. After a less than perfect time in Denver, maybe he's welcome the trip back? Denver seems to be rebuilding and there was a lot of back and forth of words between Kenyon and Denver. Due his age, I would offer K.Mart 3 years $12m.
VC - Another relic from the past, except this time, he would have a much lesser role behind Morrow as our 6th man. VC had really fallen out of favor with Orlando and then Phoenix quickly, and I think others may have noticed. Offer VC 3 years $10m and see if he takes it.
Hump - And finally, yes I do think we need to keep the Hump and I would be willing to give him 5 years $40m with a team option that last year. Front load the contract so it declines over the years, but sign him last after we use all our cap space.
Once all is said and done, we don't have a ton of youth from free agency but we have the proven vets that D.Will wants and will help us win. We still have youthful assets (picks, Farmar, James, etc) for trading pieces, but just focuses on the summer, I think this if a good start.
Line - Up:
Deron Williams / Jordan Farmar / Sundiata Gaines
Anthony Morrow / Vince Carter / Marshon Brooks
Andrei Kirilenko / Damion James / Travis Outlaw
Kris Humphries / Kenyon Martin
Brook Lopez / Johan Petro / Nikola Vucevic

Building a cardboard bridge
View Single Post
Mar1-10, 06:25 PM
I'm glad page1 made some sense, we can move on to page2. Sorry I don't have time for pretty.
If you go on to study any subject involving mechanics of materials you will become very familiar with the type of analysis I have been showing.
I have done it in a simplified form to avoid discussing internal stresses, bending moments and other more advanced stuff.
If you can, get hold of a copy the small book
Introducing Structures by A J Francis is a wonderfully comprehensible introduction. He is one of the few Architects who really understand structures and can put it across in an easy way.
Anyway to continue. You haven't indicated what sort of cardboard is available - you will perhaps need to discuss with your teacher. I am assuming you are going with the cellular 'door' approach. (Corrugated will not do see Fig 8.)
Fig 6
Shows a section of the construction with laminated skins several sheets thick and cardboard tube cells, probably simlar to the centres of toilet rolls.
Fig 7
Shows a cutaway drawing of the arrangement. The stack of tubes is much stronger for this application than the typical corrugated cardboard construction which looks like Fig 8 (b)
Fig 8
Shows alternative spacing arrangements can you see why (a) representing the cells is stronger than (b) ? A good point to discuss with your teacher or in your report.
Fig 9
This answers your question about abutments / bearing areas. Since someone will walk across the walkway and could stand anywhere, the space he occupies has to be able to support him, on one foot as he walks. This space is just under 1ft of beam and is labelled A.
Since one end reaction is equal to the full 160 lbs when the man is standing at that end the reaction will need a similar area to bear upwards on. So the bearing length will be about 1 ft.
Fig 10
Here we go back to the analysis in Figs 3 nd 4 with some numbers.
The couple (clockwise this time) is formed by the 80 lb reaction and the (160 - 80) forces acting wherever the man is standing. The magnitude of this couple is therefore 80d where d is the distance from the support.
This reaches a maximum when the man is halfway.
This couple or moment is countered by the horizontal forces in the skins. Now this couple has a substantially shorter lever arm I have labelled e. Since the Tension = Compression the couple = Ce or Te.
Thus Ce = 80d.
C = 80d/e
Thus the magnification factor if d is 42 inches and e is 2 inches is 21 times or 1680 lbs.
Now you can see why engineers like beams to be as deep as practicable.
You can get an idea of the tensile strength of your cardboard laminations by making a strip and measuring its breaking strength.
The cellular construction should be enough to stabilise the compression skin against buckling which is the reason why thin cardboard has difficulty with compression.
You should discuss this with your teacher. Remember the 1680 lbs (or whatever) is the total
. The stress will depend upon the width of the walkway as stress = Force/area.

I missed the big rains and the big snow during the holidays.
Our distinguished local citizen Jeff Scott raised a sardonic challenge to our new governor on Wednesday's opinion page, sneering that given the cold weather and falling snow here in Santa Clarita, perhaps "Gov. Jerry Brown and the Legislature will be back ... to solve the global warming issue. Perhaps they can bring Al Gore in as a special consultant."
Two items in Wednesday's paper caught my eye. One was the column from Bill Maxwell lauding the effectiveness of former President Jimmy Carter since he left office and the turnover of aides in President Barack Obama's staff.
On Nov. 12, Emily Hetu, of Valencia, was inducted into the National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC), an AmeriCorps program. She is the daughter of Beth Greenberg and Michael Hetu.

A report commissioned by Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings blames interim city manager A.C. Gonzalez for quietly placing an anti-Uber ordinance before the city council.
Rawlings, in the executive summary of the report, said he didn't "hear of or discover any potentially illegal or unethical activity or behavior" that should be further investigated. Rawlings said "several wrong decisions and bad judgments were made throughout this process."
The report was released to the public Wednesday after the council discussed the report's findings in an executive session closed to the public and media.
Rawlings said it was "an overreach" for Gonzalez to put an ordinance on the council agenda that had no public agenda and clearly benefited one business, Yellow Cab, over another business.
Uber is a car service that operates through a smartphone app.
Rawlings also said the use of Yellow Cab's attorneys to draft the ordinance was a poor decision because it created a bad perception, even if it may have been correctly written.
Interim Dallas City Manager A.C. Gonzalez apologized Monday to the mayor and city council for how he handled city rules targeting car service Uber. Gonzalez sent a memo to the council that said he regrets not bringing the issue before city leaders earlier in the process and getting their input.
The ordinance itself will be discussed in the council's transportation committee and could be voted on by the end of the year.

Anna Kendrick HEIGHT 5'2
Actress Anna Kendrick is short at a height of 5'2". Kendrick is known from being in such films as "50/50," "Up in the Air," "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," and, most recently, "Pitch Perfect." For her performance in "Up in the Air," Kendrick was nominated for numerous awards, including a BAFTA, a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and an Academy Award, all for the category of "Best Supporting Actress." When Kendrick was 10 years old, she decided to take her career into her own hands, and she hitched a bus ride from Portland, Maine to New York in order to attend auditions. When she was 12 years old, Kendrick got her first acting role as "Dinah" in the musical "High Society" on Broadway, for which she won the Theatre World Award. She was also nominated for both a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award. She is the third-youngest person to ever be nominated for a Tony Award. Kendrick went on to appear in several productions, and she has also appeared as "Jessica" in the "Twilight" series of films, which are based on the books by Stephenie Meyer. Kendrick was also, until recently, involved in a relationship with her "Scott Pilgrim" director, Edgar Wright.
